Short filmTranscript
00:00:03When I was 18, I signed a pre-nupical agreement and married Alistair, a man 15 years my senior.
00:00:14Everyone says I'm just a canary he keeps in a penthouse, but only I know how much he has favored
00:00:19me.
00:00:21This ring, which he designed himself, is the proof.
00:00:25And now, we finally have a little angel of our own.
00:00:28I have to tell Alistair the good news. I wonder how happy he'll be.
00:00:33Alistair, are you free right now? There's something I want you to be the first to know.
00:00:37Something's come up on my end.
00:00:38What's so urgent?
00:00:40Victoria's back. She's not doing well, so I need to take care of her first. I'll find you later. Be
00:00:44a good girl.
00:00:45Victoria. The one name he never allowed anyone to mention.
00:01:10You said you were busy today. So this is what you're busy with? Spending time with her?
00:01:16Am I interrupting something?
00:01:18She just got back and isn't doing well. Don't overthink it.
00:01:21Not doing well? Is that an excuse to be intimate with my husband in here?
00:01:26Alistair, you promised me you'd forget her.
00:01:29Chloe. Watch your attitude.
00:01:31I'm your wife. I don't even have the right to ask a question?
00:01:35It's precisely because you are my wife that you should know your place.
00:01:41My place? What about you?
00:01:43Bringing another woman into your office? Is that your idea of knowing your place?
00:01:47Article 32 of the pre-Hopful Agreement.
00:01:49You are not to interfere with my social life, schedule, or business arrangements.
00:01:53You signed it. Now follow the rules.
00:01:54Alistair, she's young. It's only natural she's being mature. Don't be too hard on her.
00:01:59Not even a single word of explanation?
00:02:01It's not necessary. I gave you a title and a life of dignity, not a license to come here and
00:02:05make a steam.
00:02:06Grow up, little girl. Don't make this any more embarrassing than it already is.
00:02:09Get out.
00:02:16Why the rush? Even a contract wife can feel embarrassed?
00:02:24Get out of my way.
00:02:25Does this look familiar?
00:02:27Alistair designed it himself. The size, the cut, even the curve of the setting. It's identical.
00:02:33The one on your finger is just a fake you bought later to replace it.
00:02:36What exactly are you trying to say?
00:02:38I'm saying you should know your place. So what if you're his wife?
00:02:41You live in his house, spend his money, and trade a contract for a last name.
00:02:45But I'm different. I don't need an appointment to enter his office.
00:02:49I sit on his sofa, and he pours my drinks himself.
00:02:53Alistair, I only have one question. Why is her ring the same as mine?
00:02:57It's just a ring.
00:03:00Alistair, I designed this ring specifically for you. It's the only one of its kind in the world. After all,
00:03:07you are my one and only.
00:03:10Fine. I understand.
00:03:15What is this?
00:03:23It's just a manuscript for the competition. Don't bother yourself with it.
00:03:27I'll have the driver take you back.
00:03:29No need. I can get back on my own.
00:03:31I haven't had a chance to see your music room yet.
00:03:34See it if you want. You don't have to ask me twice about anything in this house.
00:03:38No problem. I'll send the manuscript over right now.
00:03:45My manuscript!
00:03:50This is my only original copy.
00:03:53I'm so sorry, Chloe.
00:03:54Who knew your music room would be such a mess?
00:03:57My hand slipped, and I spilled it.
00:03:59You won't blame me, will you?
00:04:00What a shame.
00:04:01I heard you were in a rush to submit this.
00:04:05What are you going to do now?
00:04:07Get your foot off it!
00:04:10It's just a pile of paper.
00:04:11Is all this really necessary?
00:04:16Alistair!
00:04:20Alistair, I really didn't mean it.
00:04:21I just wanted to see where she usually practices,
00:04:23but she started snapping at me the moment she got back.
00:04:25I'm a little scared.
00:04:26Victoria, you...
00:04:27Chloe, enough.
00:04:28What did you say?
00:04:29Victoria already said she didn't mean it.
00:04:30Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
00:04:32I wrote every single note of this myself.
00:04:34This is two years of my hard work.
00:04:36Alistair, you know that better than anyone!
00:04:38Hard work?
00:04:39Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:04:41This score, or the status you've built using it as a prop?
00:04:44A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate?
00:04:49Who are you trying to impress with this wronged woman act?
00:04:52Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the
00:04:57top?
00:04:57I didn't.
00:04:58Am I wrong?
00:04:59Now that Victoria's back, you know your position is shaky,
00:05:01so you're using these tears and your so-called hard work as leverage.
00:05:04At the end of the ale, isn't this whole tantrum just a way to get my attention,
00:05:08to get more money, and to squeeze more out of me?
00:05:10No!
00:05:11You've forgotten!
00:05:11I never married you for your wealth, and I certainly wasn't plotting against the Sterling family.
00:05:15You were the one who begged me to marry you!
00:05:17I admit I was blinded by you back then.
00:05:19If I could do it all over again, I would never marry a woman as calculating as you.
00:05:22We've been married for two years, and this is how lowly you think of me?
00:05:25What else would I think?
00:05:33Still throwing a tantrum over what happened today?
00:05:36Not throwing a tantrum, I just want to know, what exactly am I to you?
00:05:40You're my wife.
00:05:41I sketched the design for this ring myself.
00:05:43That year you were playing the cello in the snow, your hands were beat red from the cold, yet you
00:05:47refused to stop.
00:05:48I sat in the car watching you for half an hour, and when I got back, I drew this.
00:05:51You still remember?
00:05:53Of course.
00:05:54Chloe, I'm not blind to these things.
00:05:56Then why do you protect her over and over again?
00:05:59Victoria is too deeply tied to the family's projects.
00:06:02I took her side today, not because she's more important than Chloe, but because I had to keep the situation
00:06:06under control.
00:06:07Don't take those words to heart.
00:06:08Is that really all it is?
00:06:10You're too young.
00:06:11There are many things I don't want you to get mixed up in.
00:06:18Alistair, I hit someone.
00:06:20There's so much blood.
00:06:21Please come quickly.
00:06:23Something came up at the office.
00:06:25I need to head out, but I'll be back soon.
00:06:27This late?
00:06:28Wait for me.
00:06:29Don't go anywhere.
00:06:33Little one, your father still cares for us.
00:06:35Just wait a little longer.
00:06:39Chloe, Victoria accidentally killed someone with her car.
00:06:42She can't be linked to this case.
00:06:43So, you're going to take the fall for her.
00:06:52Chloe, don't be afraid.
00:06:53I'll handle everything.
00:06:54Just sign the papers, and I promise you'll be fine.
00:06:57You want me to take the fall for her killing someone?
00:06:59Alistair, you just said you would protect me.
00:07:00I am protecting you.
00:07:01The press is swarming outside, and the police are already watching us.
00:07:04We have to lock in the statement first so I can get you out of this mess.
00:07:07Don't be difficult.
00:07:07This is the fastest way.
00:07:08The lawyers will arrange your bail.
00:07:09All you have to do is give your thumbprint.
00:07:11So, everything you said tonight was just a tactic to play me?
00:07:14The ring, the promises, what did any of it mean?
00:07:17It means you need to be smart right now.
00:07:19Article 33 of the prenuptal agreement.
00:07:21You are required to cooperate with family crisis management.
00:07:24Otherwise, you'll never be able to pay off the penalty in your lifetime.
00:07:27I'm not signing.
00:07:28Chloe, don't push me.
00:07:30Once you leave your print, this all ends tonight.
00:07:36Let go!
00:07:37You're hurting me!
00:07:44Chloe, how...
00:07:45Why are you bleeding so much?
00:07:54Alistair, I'm pregnant.
00:07:56It's your baby.
00:07:58Please take me to the hospital.
00:08:00Now is not the time for this.
00:08:02I'm begging you.
00:08:04Please.
00:08:06Sign this, and I'll arrange for the hospital immediately.
00:08:11You still want me to sign?
00:08:13The accident case is already open.
00:08:15Victoria cannot go to prison.
00:08:16Take the fall first, and I'll cover everything.
00:08:19The bail, the lawyers, the hospital.
00:08:20If you don't sign, no one is coming for you tonight.
00:08:24And the hospital won't prioritize you.
00:08:26That's a human life!
00:08:27Not one of your PR crisis!
00:08:29Do you think the feds will just take your word for it?
00:08:31If you confess, it'll only be a few years.
00:08:34And I can reduce your sentence.
00:08:35If you fight it, you won't even make it to bail.
00:08:39You're using the hospital to blackmail me?
00:08:42I'm giving you a way out.
00:08:43Chloe, be good.
00:08:44Just confess first.
00:08:45We'll talk about the baby later.
00:08:47Later?
00:08:47You don't even want him now.
00:08:49You said you'd never leave me alone.
00:08:52Sign it, now.
00:08:59Wait!
00:09:08Alistin, I knew you wouldn't...
00:09:09If you sign it like this, it looks too much like coercion.
00:09:12The police might not accept it.
00:09:15Press your thumbprint, then sign it again.
00:09:18You stopped me!
00:09:20Just for this?
00:09:21The confession must be flawless.
00:09:23Nothing can happen to Victoria.
00:09:24I'm bleeding.
00:09:25And you're worried about the paperwork looking pretty?
00:09:28I already have a car waiting downstairs.
00:09:30Once you sign, I'll take you to the hospital immediately.
00:09:33And if I don't sign?
00:09:34Then you can keep wasting time here tonight.
00:09:37Wait for the feds to arrive, or wait for the baby to mice scrape on its own.
00:09:40Your choice.
00:09:43That's your child, too.
00:09:45Sign the papers first.
00:09:52Alistair, you'll pay for this.
00:09:54Sign it.
00:10:03Don't be afraid.
00:10:04I'm calling an ambulance for you right now.
00:10:11Alistair, save the baby first, I beg you.
00:10:14Save the baby.
00:10:16As long as the baby is safe, anything else, I'll agree to anything.
00:10:21Don't worry.
00:10:22You and the baby will be fine.
00:10:24Let's go.
00:10:24Coming through.
00:10:27Come on.
00:10:29Come on.
00:10:30The patient is facing a severe threatened miscarriage with significant uterine bleeding.
00:10:34We must operate immediately to stop the hemorrhage.
00:10:35She's in critical condition.
00:10:36Any further delay, and we won't be able to save either the mother or the child.
00:10:39These are the prenatal records of the bleeding logs.
00:10:40Sign us now to authorize a combined procedure for surgery and fetal preservation, Mr. Stone.
00:10:43There is no time.
00:10:43She's losing blood rapidly.
00:10:45She needs to be in the OR right now.
00:10:46Every minute counts.
00:10:47If we wait any longer, the baby is gone, and the mother's life will be at risk too.
00:10:53Mr. Sterling, Victoria had DUI.
00:10:55If you want your wife to take the fall, it's best she has no recent record of pregnancy.
00:10:59Otherwise...
00:10:59Understood.
00:11:01Hold off on the filing.
00:11:02Suspend the surgery.
00:11:03Just stop the bleeding for now.
00:11:05What did you say?
00:11:08For her sake, you're even...
00:11:11abandoning our child?
00:11:18Cancel the surgery?
00:11:19You're going to kill our own flesh and blood just for Victoria?
00:11:22As long as you take the fall for the accident, we can have other children later.
00:11:27But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.
00:11:30She cannot have a criminal record.
00:11:31Ma'am, please calm down.
00:11:33She's eight weeks pregnant and hemorrhaging.
00:11:36And you want her to confess to a crime?
00:11:39Save your misplaced sense of justice and do as I say,
00:11:42or you'll be kicked out of the medical profession for good by tomorrow.
00:11:51You didn't come here to save me at all.
00:11:53You said only today that protect me.
00:11:55Is this what you call protection?
00:11:58Be a good girl and confess.
00:12:00You'll still be my most cherished wife.
00:12:02No, Alistair, I'm begging him.
00:12:21Alistair, where is my baby?
00:12:32The baby wasn't meant to be with us.
00:12:34Don't play games with me.
00:12:35Was it an accident, or did you order the doctor to do it?
00:12:41You're still young.
00:12:43Once you've recovered, we'll have other children.
00:12:47Answer me!
00:12:48Victoria's legal team has been working through the night.
00:12:51I've used the Sterling Family Trust to post your $50 million bail.
00:12:59Alistair, even your way of killing is so refined.
00:13:03I have no patience for your tantrums.
00:13:04Behave yourself.
00:13:05Focus on your recovery.
00:13:07I'm busy lately.
00:13:08Once you're better, head back on your own.
00:13:10No need to let me know.
00:13:12Behave yourself.
00:13:13Behave yourself.
00:13:25Oh, you're back.
00:13:27The fabric of this at four is really nice, though the waist is a bit tight.
00:13:34Who gave you permission to wear my clothes?
00:13:37Is there anything in this apartment that actually belongs to you,
00:13:40even that your engagement ring you're wearing?
00:13:42Didn't pay for it with his card?
00:13:46Chloe, the doctor said you shouldn't get worked up.
00:13:48Sit down first.
00:13:51Tell to take it off.
00:13:53Alistair, I'm just borrowing it.
00:13:55Does she really have to be so mean?
00:13:58It's just a pajama.
00:14:00Do you have to start a scene the second you get home?
00:14:07Chloe, have you had enough?
00:14:08You've been acting like a total lunaturk lately.
00:14:10Can't you be more sensible?
00:14:11Alistair?
00:14:15He said you looked pathetic last night.
00:14:17Did you know?
00:14:17He complained that your crying was too loud, so he held me in his arms all night.
00:14:20He also said he never forgot about me.
00:14:23You were out of the game from the very beginning.
00:14:26Well, that's very Christian.
00:14:30Alistair!
00:14:31Help me!
00:14:32Calm down.
00:14:33Put the knife down first.
00:14:34Choose.
00:14:35Choose between us right now!
00:14:37Chloe, what the hell is wrong with you lately?
00:14:39Be reasonable.
00:14:40I can't be reasonable.
00:14:42Everything changed the moment she came back.
00:14:43Have you forgotten how we lost our baby?
00:14:45Have you forgotten what you promised me?
00:14:47You said you would protect me, but who are you protecting now?
00:14:49Look at me, Alistair!
00:14:50Look at me!
00:14:51Fine.
00:14:52I choose you.
00:14:53Chloe, I choose you.
00:14:55Now let her go and come here.
00:15:05Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:07This is your last warning.
00:15:32Sign it and you'll be Mrs. Sterling
00:15:34It says here that I'm giving up almost all my rights
00:15:36Don't worry, it's just a formality
00:15:38Our backgrounds are so different
00:15:40Without this, my family might not accept you
00:15:42Listen, this agreement is only to appease the family
00:15:44My promise to you is right here
00:15:46I added a handwritten clause
00:15:47If I ever betray you, or if you feel any unhappiness in this marriage
00:15:50You can burn it at any time
00:15:51No lawyers needed, no need to notify me
00:15:53The moment you burn this agreement, you are free
00:15:54This is my only true guarantee
00:16:04You promised it's over
00:16:11Brody, it's me
00:16:12Get me a ticket to Europe for tonight
00:16:13Sterling
00:16:14I burned the agreement
00:16:15Understood
00:16:16Two hours, the usual spot
00:16:18Okay
00:16:26Bye, Alistair
00:16:33It is late
00:16:34Where do you think you are going?
00:16:36That's none of your business
00:16:37None of my business?
00:16:38Did you forget the agreement?
00:16:40Wherever you go, you report to me first
00:16:42The agreement?
00:16:43I burned it
00:16:44Just now
00:16:44Alistair, you dare to burn it?
00:16:46That contract is legally binding, Chloe
00:16:48It is not some toy you can toss into the fire whenever you feel like it
00:16:50I have put up with enough from you lately
00:16:52Do not push me
00:16:52Do you have any idea that agreement is what keeps you, Mrs. Sterling?
00:16:55How the hell am I supposed to protect you when you act like this?
00:16:57I know, but I cannot afford your kind of protection
00:16:59Did you forget the clause you wrote yourself?
00:17:01You promised that if I was unhappy, I could burn it anytime
00:17:03The second it burned, I was free
00:17:04That was something I said to make you happy
00:17:07You think a court will honor that?
00:17:10I promise, once you burn it, you are free
00:17:12I will not stop you
00:17:16Chloe!
00:17:20Alistair!
00:17:26Alistair, what happened out here? I thought I heard shouting
00:17:28Was it Chloe? Is she throwing another tantrum?
00:17:30She ran at that ridiculous recording
00:17:32A recording? Honey, you cannot seriously be worried
00:17:34A pre-nap does not vanish because some 20-year-old girl throws it into a fireplace
00:17:38She knows nothing about the law
00:17:41She is just shaken from the miscarriage
00:17:43And the bail pressure is getting to her
00:17:45She is trying to scare you
00:17:46The harder you chase, the more power she thinks she has
00:17:49Let her cool off
00:17:50When the money guns out and she has nowhere to go, she will come crawling back
00:17:54You really think so?
00:17:55Of course
00:17:56It is just a little girl acting out for attention
00:17:58We both know it
00:17:59Besides, every account in her name is tied to your family trust
00:18:01Without this place, she cannot even afford a hotel room
00:18:03What matters now is keeping the situation stable
00:18:05We cannot let the FBI case get complicated because of her emotions
00:18:09You are right
00:18:10I am always on your side
00:18:11Get some rest
00:18:12You have the legal team tomorrow
00:18:15Chloe
00:18:17I will wait for you to come back to me
00:18:23Your passport and ticket are in the inner pocket
00:18:26He will not find you
00:18:28The accounts are wiped
00:18:29The cameras are covered
00:18:31You are a ghost now
00:18:32I handled the airport
00:18:36We are here
00:18:38Cargo gate C7
00:18:39Someone will meet you
00:18:40Direct flight to Paris
00:18:42There is some cash inside
00:18:44When you land, call this number
00:18:46Thank you
00:18:49Chloe, forgive me for being reckless
00:18:51But I cannot fight this anymore
00:18:53Will you marry me?
00:18:54Will you be my wife?
00:18:56I am just an ordinary girl
00:18:58How could I ever be worthy of...
00:18:59Do not ever say that about yourself
00:19:00To me, you are the most beautiful, purest woman in the world
00:19:03You deserve everything
00:19:04It is just a nightgown
00:19:06Did you really have to come home and turn the whole place into a war zone?
00:19:11Chloe, are you done?
00:19:13Lately, you have been acting like a complete lunatic
00:19:16Can you please grow up?
00:19:19It is over
00:19:25Stop thinking about it, Alistair
00:19:27Chloe needs time
00:19:29To calm down
00:19:31Get out
00:19:32What?
00:19:34I said get out
00:19:35Take off Chloe's nightgown
00:19:37Do not touch Chloe's things again
00:19:38It is just a nightgown
00:19:40Why are you treating Victoria like this because of Chloe?
00:19:43We are the ones who...
00:19:44We are nothing
00:19:45The woman Alistair loves is Chloe
00:19:47It was always Chloe
00:19:48It still is
00:19:49But Chloe left
00:19:51Chloe does not give a damn about Alistair
00:19:53I do
00:19:54Listen carefully, Victoria
00:19:56I helped you because of your father
00:19:57Because of those damn business ties
00:19:59But you have always known where my heart is
00:20:01Stop doing this
00:20:02I have done so much for you
00:20:04Enough
00:20:06You are tired
00:20:07Go rest
00:20:11Three days
00:20:14Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service
00:20:23Where the hell did you go?
00:20:25What is that?
00:20:30She actually burned it
00:20:33It is just a piece of paper
00:20:34Burning it proves she cares
00:20:36Cares about what?
00:20:37You
00:20:38It is a little girl's stunt
00:20:39The most dramatic way she could think of to get your attention
00:20:41She thought if she burned the agreement
00:20:43You would chase after her
00:20:44And prove you cannot live without her
00:20:45She used a fake ID
00:20:47Emptied the accounts
00:20:48So what?
00:20:49Every dime she has eventually leads back to the Sterling Family Trust
00:20:52Where can she go without you?
00:20:53Sleep on the street?
00:20:54What is she right now?
00:20:55A suspect out on bail?
00:20:56The FBI case is still hanging over her
00:20:58Besides you, who would dare take her in?
00:21:00The outside world is a hundred times scarier for her than this apartment
00:21:03Give her time to act out
00:21:05Once she has suffered enough, she will remember where she belongs
00:21:08Then she will come back on her own
00:21:10Sweeter than ever
00:21:11What if she does not come back?
00:21:13Then she never deserved to be Mrs. Sterling
00:21:15A doll too stupid to understand her own position is not worth keeping, is she?
00:21:19Clean this up
00:21:20Of course
00:21:21Fly away, little bird
00:21:23Let us see how long you last
00:21:29Were the new spring pieces sent to the wardrobe?
00:21:32Yes, sir
00:21:32Everything was delivered to the estate yesterday afternoon
00:21:35As instructed, the sizes and styles followed
00:21:38The previous records exactly
00:21:40Some of the brands Chloe like changed creative directors this season
00:21:43I reviewed the new collections
00:21:44There are a few dresses Chloe would like
00:21:46Yes, sir
00:21:46Every year you personally review the seasonal catalogs
00:21:49And reserve pieces for Mrs. Sterling
00:21:50For Mrs. Chloe
00:21:51You have done that for three years
00:21:53Chloe did not take a single thing when Chloe left
00:21:57Perhaps Miss Chloe knows you have been waiting for Chloe to come back
00:22:00Waiting for Chloe to come back?
00:22:02No
00:22:03I am just confirming whether Chloe really has the nerve to stay gone forever
00:22:07Sir, the emergency meeting is in two hours
00:22:10They insist you attend
00:22:11It is about the Asia market acquisition
00:22:14Tell them I
00:22:15That silhouette looks so familiar
00:22:19Is that you, Chloe?
00:22:28Find out
00:22:29Now
00:22:30Sir
00:22:31Confirmed
00:22:32It is Miss Chloe Sterling
00:22:34She is performing under the stage name Claire Moray now
00:22:36She is the orchestra's newly signed principal cellist
00:22:38Her debut is next Friday at the Music Vi-
00:22:40Three years
00:22:42I had her wardrobe at the estate refreshed every season
00:22:45Those dresses she never touched a single one
00:22:47Yes, sir
00:22:48You have been waiting for her to come back
00:22:51Claire Moray
00:22:52You hid well
00:22:57Cancel the board meeting
00:22:59Or let them talk to an empty chair
00:23:01Right now, contact the airport
00:23:02I want the next direct flight to Vienna
00:23:05But, sir, the board
00:23:08Do it
00:23:29Sir, rehearsal is closed
00:23:31No outsiders
00:23:32Move
00:23:33I am here for Chloe Stingling
00:23:35There is no Chloe Stingling here
00:23:37The woman on Taze is Claire Moray
00:23:39Guest cello soloist for the
00:23:42Festival
00:23:54She never smiled like that
00:24:02See that?
00:24:03She is doing well now
00:24:04She does not need anyone disturbing her
00:24:07Especially you
00:24:08Who the hell are you?
00:24:10Her manager
00:24:10And her friend
00:24:11Leave before rehearsal ends
00:24:13Or I call security
00:24:31Chloe
00:24:31Chloe
00:24:34We need to talk
00:24:35Now
00:24:36Sorry
00:24:36Give me one minute to deal with old business
00:24:41Have you been with him this whole three years?
00:24:43What does that have to do with you, Mr. Stingling?
00:24:47Listen to me
00:24:47Back then
00:24:48I do not want to hear it
00:24:50I swear
00:24:51I did not know it would
00:24:52If I had known you were pregnant
00:24:53I never would have
00:24:54You knew
00:24:54And you still chose what mattered more to you
00:24:56Your empire
00:24:57Your Victoria
00:24:58Now that the show is over
00:25:00Leave
00:25:00Sir
00:25:01Claire needs to continue rehearse
00:25:03Your disruption is not welcome here
00:25:06She will not even bother to hate you
00:25:25Tonight's piece is called Ashes
00:25:31Chloria already said she didn't mean it
00:25:33Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
00:25:35I wrote every single note of this myself
00:25:37This is two years of my hard work
00:25:39Allison, you know that better than anyone
00:25:41Hard work?
00:25:43Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:25:45This score
00:25:46Or the status you've built using it as a prop?
00:25:49This is the piece she wrote back then
00:26:08I need to speak with you
00:26:11Chloe
00:26:11I thought you'd never ask
00:26:13That last bar was brilliant
00:26:15Only because your theme gave me something to work
00:26:1730% of Sterling Group Equity
00:26:19Transferred to you unconditionally
00:26:20Sign it and it is yours
00:26:2130%?
00:26:23That is astronomical
00:26:24Mr. Sterling is generous
00:26:25The dividends alone must be tens of millions
00:26:28The music
00:26:29To rebirth
00:26:35See that?
00:26:35He just got shut down hard
00:26:3730% of Sterling
00:26:38Too bad she does not give a damn
00:26:42You will not even look at it
00:26:51You do not have to accept it
00:26:53Just come home with me
00:26:54Let go
00:26:55I waited for you for three years
00:26:57Every single day I thought about you
00:26:59The confession, Victoria, everything
00:27:00I finally understand it all
00:27:02And?
00:27:03The baby
00:27:04Our baby
00:27:04I never even got the chance to make it right
00:27:07Alistair Sterling
00:27:08Is this your repentance act?
00:27:09Who is the audience?
00:27:10These guests or yourself?
00:27:12It is not an act
00:27:13I am begging you, Chloe
00:27:14Come home
00:27:15Everything I have is yours
00:27:17Sterling Group
00:27:18My life
00:27:18Take all of it
00:27:19Home?
00:27:19Did that place not become yours
00:27:21And Victoria's love nest
00:27:22A long time ago?
00:27:23Did she slept in the bed I slept in?
00:27:25Did you whisper the same sweet lies
00:27:27To her that you whispered to me?
00:27:29Never
00:27:29I never let her into the master bedroom
00:27:31If you think the place is dirty
00:27:33We can burn it down and rebuild it
00:27:35Rebuild what?
00:27:37Ashes are ashes
00:27:38Just like our rings in that agreement
00:27:39Burned
00:27:40Gone
00:27:41Never coming back
00:27:42Then what about me?
00:27:43These three years
00:27:44I have been walking around like a corpse
00:27:45What the hell am I supposed to do?
00:27:48You?
00:27:49Go back to Wall Street
00:27:50Hold your equity papers tight
00:27:52Take Victoria with you
00:27:53And grow old together
00:28:07Do not go
00:28:08Please
00:28:09Let go
00:28:10I was wrong
00:28:11Everything
00:28:12It started with Victoria's goddamn car accident
00:28:14And I was wrong from that moment
00:28:16I forged the confession
00:28:17And used the agreement to force you to sign
00:28:19Not because I believed that bullshit
00:28:21I did it because I was scared
00:28:23Scared of what?
00:28:24Scared you would see how rotten I was
00:28:26Scared you would realize I was framing my own wife
00:28:28To save another woman's freedom
00:28:30Scared you would look down on me
00:28:31Scared you would leave
00:28:32So I pushed you off the cliff first
00:28:34Thought that would bind you to me
00:28:35Guilt
00:28:36The baby
00:28:36The debt you owed me
00:28:37But I
00:28:37I destroyed everything with my own hands
00:28:40The baby
00:28:41Our baby
00:28:42Are you done?
00:28:44We should go say goodbye to the conductor
00:28:56I am honored by your invitation
00:29:00Miss Sterling, congratulations on the huge success of your European tour
00:29:04Many fans are curious
00:29:05How did you create a piece as moving as ashes?
00:29:08Thank you
00:29:09I think it came from the people who helped me
00:29:11And from things I had no choice but to survive
00:29:14What experiences?
00:29:16There was a time in my life when I was very closed off
00:29:19On paper I had a home
00:29:21In reality I was more like a carefully kept possession
00:29:24You mean
00:29:26Your marriage?
00:29:27Yes
00:29:28A marriage built on enormous equality and lies
00:29:31I was too young then
00:29:33Naive enough to believe talent and love could bridge anything
00:29:35Then I was betrayed
00:29:37And I lost my child
00:29:39That is
00:29:41Heartbreaking
00:29:42I was lucky
00:29:43After I escaped
00:29:44I met people in Europe
00:29:46Who truly respected art and human dignity
00:29:48They gave me shelter and a stage
00:29:50And allowed me to live purely for music
00:29:52So you see that unhappy marriage
00:29:54As the catalyst for your artistic transformation?
00:29:56It is part of my life that cannot be erased
00:29:59I do not thank that experience
00:30:01But I thank the woman who crawled out of the rubbles
00:30:03As for the other person in that marriage
00:30:10My past
00:30:11And that name with it is over
00:30:12Like a fire that burned itself out
00:30:14Only ashes remain
00:30:16I will not
00:30:17And I do not want to
00:30:18Have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again
00:30:21My life and my music are moving forward
00:30:24I will not
00:30:25And I do not want to
00:30:26Have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again
00:30:32Promise me we will not be apart for a hundred years
00:30:35Not a hundred years
00:30:37Forever, Chloe
00:30:39Not even
00:30:40The slightest connection
00:30:43Did we not promise each other?
00:30:45We were supposed to be together forever
00:30:47Ever
00:30:51Thank you for driving me home, Julian
00:30:53And thank you for tonight's performance
00:30:54The honor was mine
00:30:56Get some rest
00:30:58Move
00:30:59Chloe, please
00:31:00Just five minutes
00:31:01No, one minute
00:31:02Let me say one thing
00:31:04One moment
00:31:05I was wrong
00:31:06I know I was wrong
00:31:08I do not want anything anymore
00:31:09I will give you everything
00:31:11Please look at me
00:31:11Just look at me
00:31:12Alistair
00:31:12You are blocking my way
00:31:14I said move
00:31:16What?
00:31:17Chloe, I
00:31:17I said move
00:31:29Brody Cook
00:31:30We need to talk
00:31:31Name your price
00:31:33Leave Chloe
00:31:34Whatever resources, connections, channels you have
00:31:37Sterling Group will double them
00:31:38Alistair Sterling
00:31:39You still think money fixes everything?
00:31:42She is not safe in her current situation
00:31:44With me, she would have the best protection
00:31:46Protection?
00:31:48Was it not you who left her bleeding and cost her the baby three years ago?
00:31:52Then what does she need?
00:31:53That Vanderbilt?
00:31:54What can he give her?
00:31:54Peace?
00:31:55Respect?
00:31:56A place where she does not have to wonder if the man beside her will send her to prison
00:32:00Save it, Mr. Sterling
00:32:02Your price cannot buy my conscience and it sure as hell cannot buy back for three years
00:32:08He came to see me
00:32:09Offered a blank check if I would leave you
00:32:11Oh
00:32:12I blocked every way he can contact me
00:32:13But you need to be careful
00:32:14I'm afraid his next move will be even more unhinged
00:32:17Three years ago, he used the law as a chain
00:32:19Our child as Alvrage
00:32:20And my life to buy another woman's freedom
00:32:22What else can he possibly...
00:32:23Your reputation
00:32:23Your performance
00:32:24Everything you have in Europe
00:32:25I have already lost the most precious thing I had
00:32:27There is nothing left that can scare me
00:32:37Happy Anniversary, my wife
00:32:48Claire, you look pale
00:32:50I am fine, I did not sleep well last night
00:32:52Do you need to postpone this afternoon's ensemble rehearsal?
00:32:55What date is it?
00:32:56October 19th
00:32:57Of course
00:32:58Five years ago today we were officially married
00:33:01Why would Alistair send me this now?
00:33:03What the hell is he trying to do?
00:33:06Julian, if someone used a day you never wanted to remember to remind you how stupid you used to be
00:33:11What would you do?
00:33:12I would tell myself that day is dead
00:33:13Today is what survived
00:33:15He is such a fool
00:33:16He really thinks this random photo and blessing can patch over my scars
00:33:20You still care about him, do you not?
00:33:26I just think he is stupid and I feel sorry for the person I used to be
00:33:31It is over now
00:33:32There is nothing to care about
00:33:37Oh my god, those are blue phantom roses
00:33:40They must have been flown in
00:33:43The card is gorgeous
00:33:46My other half of my soul
00:33:47Who brought these in?
00:33:49Did I not say every gift goes through me first?
00:33:51The florist brought them straight to the backstage door
00:33:53They said they were specifically for Claire
00:33:59They are beautiful
00:34:00I bet they are even prettier in real life
00:34:02But I heard they are almost impossible to grow
00:34:04And they bloom for only a moment
00:34:05I guess they were never meant for me
00:34:07Nothing is impossible for the Sterlings
00:34:08Not if you want it
00:34:09Forget it
00:34:10Some things are just not meant to be fine
00:34:12Chloe
00:34:13Chloe?
00:34:15Are you okay?
00:34:17Give it to me
00:34:17Leave the flowers
00:34:19Put them here
00:34:19They are pretty
00:34:33Chloe, are you sure you're okay?
00:34:34It's just a flower, Brody
00:34:36I'm fine
00:34:36Just drop it, will you?
00:34:40Chloe
00:34:40Chloe
00:34:40You are the other half of my soul
00:34:42The missing part of me
00:34:44Only you can make me whole
00:34:46In that moment
00:34:47I thought I had caught every star in the sky
00:34:50The other half of my soul
00:34:57Not mine
00:34:59Never meant to be mine
00:35:04Chloe!
00:35:05Chloe!
00:35:06Chloe!
00:35:06Chloe!
00:35:07Chloe!
00:35:36Tell me
00:35:38You're the other half of my soul
00:35:38Extremely bad
00:35:39The patient was already showing early signs of hemorrhagic shock
00:35:41We recommended immediate surgery
00:35:42It was the only way to try to save both mother and child
00:35:44Why did you not insist?
00:35:46You signed a form
00:35:47You said as long as she could talk in authority to overturn the family's explicit instructions
00:35:50If you had done the surgery, the baby
00:35:52There would at least have been a chance
00:35:53But after you refused, that child could not be saved
00:35:55We later found the patient had already been delayed at home for at least more than 40 minutes before she
00:35:59arrived
00:36:00After arrival, waiting for your signature cost the best intervention window
00:36:03Delayed how long?
00:36:05Nearly two hours
00:36:06The records show the hemorrhage became fully controllable after midnight
00:36:10We later assessed that if she had arrived half an hour later or if the bleeding had been slightly worse
00:36:13We might not have saved the mother either
00:36:16I killed that child
00:36:17It was me
00:36:18It was all me
00:36:21I killed Chloe's and my baby with my own hands
00:36:25All for Victoria
00:36:30At 10.17pm she started bleeding
00:36:32At 10.20 I took out the document
00:36:34I made her sign
00:36:36Her hands were shaking
00:36:37She could not write
00:36:38Blood soaked the paper
00:36:42At 10.50 she finished signing
00:36:44I called
00:36:45Then I waited
00:36:4647 minutes
00:36:48After I hung up
00:36:49I did not call again
00:36:56Alistair
00:36:57I'm pregnant
00:36:58It's your name
00:37:00Please take me to the hospital
00:37:01Now is not the time for this
00:37:03I'm begging you
00:37:06Please
00:37:08Sign this
00:37:09And I'll arrange for the hospital immediately
00:37:12You still want me to sign?
00:37:14The accident for this is already open
00:37:16Victoria did not go to prison
00:37:18Take the fall first
00:37:19And I'll cover everything
00:37:20The bail, the lawyers, the hospital
00:37:22If you don't sign
00:37:23No one is coming for you tonight
00:37:25And the hospital won't prioritize you
00:37:27The doctor said surgery
00:37:29I said no
00:37:32Too risky
00:37:36Cancel the surgery?
00:37:38You're going to kill our own flesh and blood
00:37:39Just for Victoria?
00:37:40As long as you take the fall for the accident
00:37:43We can have other children
00:37:46But Victoria's reputation is vital to her
00:37:48She cannot have a criminal record
00:37:51I chose it
00:37:52No ambulance
00:37:54No surgery
00:37:55She had to sign first
00:38:02Even the fall that sent her to the hospital
00:38:06That was because of me too
00:38:08Chloe, don't push me
00:38:09Once you leave your print
00:38:11This all ends tonight
00:38:16Let go!
00:38:17You're hurting me!
00:38:23Every step was me
00:38:26It was her
00:38:27She was driving
00:38:29She killed that person
00:38:31She begged me to save her
00:38:32Yes, it was her
00:38:34She drove a wedge between us
00:38:35She nailed in front of me
00:38:36Saying her career, her name, her future were over
00:38:38She cried that only Chloe could save her
00:38:39I'm saying you should know your place
00:38:41So what if you're his wife?
00:38:43You live in his house?
00:38:44Enter his office
00:38:45I sit on his sofa
00:38:47And he pours my drinks himself
00:38:51Exactly
00:38:52If it were not for Victoria
00:38:53Why would Chloe have been pushed that far?
00:38:55Why would I have forced Chloe?
00:38:57Why would I have lost our baby?
00:38:58That is right
00:38:59It was all because of her
00:39:00I need to find her
00:39:02Now!
00:39:07Mr. Sterling was so easy to fool
00:39:09One perfectly staged elevator malfunction
00:39:12One perfectly timed twisted ankle
00:39:14And he believed I was his destined soulmate
00:39:16That old money type is arrogant
00:39:17And naive to the bone
00:39:19I played the independent self-made woman
00:39:21For him all these years
00:39:21For exactly this
00:39:22Sooner or later
00:39:24Every Sterling group asset
00:39:25Will carry the Thorn name
00:39:27As for the baby
00:39:28Losing that common girl's child
00:39:30Was good for me
00:39:30An heir with ordinary blood
00:39:32Would only dilute the Sterling fortune
00:39:38Alistair?
00:39:39What are you doing here?
00:39:40You have been playing me this whole time
00:39:43No
00:39:43I love you
00:39:45Everything I did was for us
00:39:46That Chloe never deserved you
00:39:48She only dragged you
00:39:49You
00:39:50You built our beginning on lies
00:39:53You schemed to tear Chloe and me apart
00:39:56You
00:39:56You killed my child
00:39:58You drove her away
00:40:00This is all your fault
00:40:01There has to be a misunderstanding
00:40:02I can explain
00:40:04Save your explanation for the feds
00:40:07You are turning me over to the bureau?
00:40:19For three years
00:40:21You used my trust
00:40:22To move assets
00:40:23Forge documents
00:40:25And frame Chloe
00:40:28Any one of those
00:40:29Could put you in federal prison
00:40:30For decades
00:40:33Alistair
00:40:34What are you talking about?
00:40:38The bureau's preliminary evidence list
00:40:40Your lawyer will receive official notice tomorrow
00:40:43No!
00:40:44Alistair
00:40:45You cannot do this to me
00:40:46I love you
00:40:47Everything I did was for you
00:40:49We can explain
00:40:50We can
00:40:51Explain?
00:40:51To whom?
00:40:52To the child you helped kill?
00:40:54The baby
00:40:55The baby was an accident
00:40:57Chloe's body was weak
00:40:59An accident?
00:41:01That night
00:41:02You told me that once Chloe signed
00:41:04Everything would be fine
00:41:05You said
00:41:06There was still time
00:41:08And you believed whatever I said?
00:41:10Alistair
00:41:11You were the one who did not want to call that ambulance
00:41:13You were afraid she would back out
00:41:15Afraid she would run
00:41:17Afraid your perfect scapegoat would disappear
00:41:20You pushed me to delay
00:41:24You handed her the papers
00:41:25You set the terms
00:41:27You forced her to sign
00:41:29You just do not want to admit that from start to finish
00:41:32The person who most wanted her to take the fall was you
00:41:34Me?
00:41:35I only said the filthy little thought already sitting in your head
00:41:40Alistair, the person who killed your child was not me
00:41:42It was you
00:41:47Do you know what happened?
00:41:50That night, I came to you crying because I was scared
00:41:54Alistair, help me
00:41:55I hit someone
00:41:56That person
00:41:57That person is not moving
00:42:00I did not mean to
00:42:01The road was too dark
00:42:03Who was the victim?
00:42:04Any witnesses?
00:42:05I do not know
00:42:07Maybe a homeless man?
00:42:08I think
00:42:08I do not think anyone saw
00:42:10Victoria, you know what that means
00:42:13Vehicular manslaughter
00:42:14A federal felony
00:42:15Your career, your reputation
00:42:16Everything is over
00:42:18Please
00:42:20I know you have a way
00:42:21You know so many people
00:42:25Are you sure you left no evidence that can be traced back to you?
00:42:28I am sure
00:42:29I already got rid of the car
00:42:31And there are no cameras on that road
00:42:32We need a scapegoat
00:42:33Someone important enough
00:42:36And controllable enough
00:42:39What?
00:42:41Chloe
00:42:41No, that is not how it happened
00:42:45Remember now?
00:42:47You said it yourself
00:42:48We need a scapegoat
00:42:50Someone important enough
00:42:51And controllable enough
00:42:53Then you said her name
00:42:57So do not put all of this on me, Alistair
00:42:59You sent your wife to hell with your own hands
00:43:16I can carry it myself
00:43:19It is windy today
00:43:23Coffee after rehearsal?
00:43:24That new place you wanted to try with the chestnut cake?
00:43:27Yeah
00:43:28She smiled
00:43:30In a world without me
00:43:34She is so alive
00:43:43What is it?
00:43:44Nothing
00:43:56Chloe
00:43:58Yes?
00:43:59There is something I have wanted to say for a long time
00:44:02These three years
00:44:03Watching you rise from the wreckage
00:44:04And walk into the spotlight
00:44:05Has been the greatest honor of my life
00:44:06I admire your talent
00:44:08And I ache for how strong you have had to be
00:44:10If you would let me
00:44:12I want to stand by your side in the future
00:44:14Not only as your patron and friend
00:44:16Did you
00:44:18Give me a chance?
00:44:24Julian
00:44:25You are my dearest friend
00:44:26And the person I am most grateful to
00:44:28Without you
00:44:29I would not be who I am today
00:44:30But
00:44:31My heart is a ruin
00:44:33Nothing new grows there
00:44:35And no one deserves to step inside it again
00:44:37I understand
00:44:38Thank you for understanding
00:44:40We can still be friends, right?
00:44:43Of course
00:44:43Let us go try that chestnut cake
00:44:51Sir, the flight departs in 45 minutes
00:44:53We should head to the gate
00:44:55The highly anticipated Voices of Hope charity concert
00:44:58Will be held tonight at City Hall Concert Hall
00:45:00Organizers recently confirmed that the stage build and lighting work
00:45:04Will be handled by local contractor Pinnacle Vision
00:45:06Run that contractor
00:45:08Pinnacle Vision
00:45:09I want every background check and safety record
00:45:14Found it
00:45:15This company
00:45:16Has three OSHA complaints
00:45:18And last year in Munich
00:45:20There was a serious stage collapse
00:45:22How the hell could they hire them?
00:45:31Cancel the flight
00:45:32But
00:45:33The meeting
00:45:34Cancel it
00:45:34Now
00:45:35Yes
00:45:37I will handle it right away
00:45:39She is still that little girl who needs someone watching over her
00:45:41Without me
00:45:43She cannot even protect herself
00:45:45Chloe
00:45:45Please do not let anything happen to you
00:45:58Chloe
00:45:59Move
00:46:00It is dangerous
00:46:02No
00:46:19Oh my god
00:46:20Call an ambulance
00:46:22Are you
00:46:23Are you okay?
00:46:26Are you insane?
00:46:29As long as you are okay
00:46:34Your arm
00:46:36Just a scratch
00:46:39Claire
00:46:40Are you hurt?
00:46:44Why are you here?
00:46:46You again?
00:46:47The contractor's records were bad
00:46:49I found out but
00:46:52I was half a step too late
00:46:57Wipe it
00:46:58Your hand
00:47:08As long as you are safe
00:47:09I asked about your injury
00:47:12Surface wound
00:47:12I will not die
00:47:16About the chandelier
00:47:17By the time I found the records
00:47:18It was too late
00:47:20I could only
00:47:21Run
00:47:22You do not need to explain
00:47:24I said thank you
00:47:26That is all
00:47:33Chloe
00:47:35I got all the hospital records
00:47:37That night
00:47:38You were bleeding so much
00:47:41Lying on the floor
00:47:42Begging me
00:47:43I held the papers
00:47:44And waited for you to sign
00:47:46I waited 47 minutes
00:47:48The doctor said
00:47:50I signed a consent
00:47:51For bleeding control
00:47:52Not surgical authorization
00:47:55The baby's heartbeat
00:47:57Stopped at minute 35
00:48:00I delayed him to death
00:48:02Shut up!
00:48:04What is the point of saying this now?
00:48:07There is no point
00:48:09None at all
00:48:13I just wanted Chloe to know Alistair found out everything
00:48:17Victoria, the accident
00:48:18And Alistair's own choices
00:48:21Alistair was the source
00:48:22My existence is the source of all your pain
00:48:24Every time I come near you
00:48:26You remember blood
00:48:26You remember the child who never got to be born
00:48:28You remember how filthy I am
00:48:30So?
00:48:30So I disappear
00:48:31It is the only thing
00:48:33I can still do for you
00:48:34Alice
00:48:46Promise me we will not be apart for a hundred years
00:48:51Not a hundred years
00:48:53Forever Chloe
00:48:55Forever
00:48:58Chloe, forgive me for being reckless
00:49:00But I cannot fight this anymore
00:49:02Will you marry me?
00:49:04Will you be my wife?
00:49:05I am just an ordinary girl
00:49:07How could I ever be worthy of-
00:49:08Do not ever say that about yourself
00:49:09To me you are the most beautiful, purest woman in the world
00:49:12You deserve everything
00:49:18Alistair
00:49:20Good, go
00:49:26It is over
00:49:31Sir, please reconsider
00:49:32These assets are to shake the entire industry
00:49:34Especially the family fund and Kurgutra
00:49:35And years of your life's work
00:49:36I know
00:49:36This is not just wealth
00:49:38It is all your power and protection
00:49:40Once you sign, there is no going back
00:49:43Begin
00:49:47The irreversible trust naming Miss Chloe Stangling as sole beneficiary
00:49:51Is now officially in effect
00:49:53It covers all equity, real estate, liquid assets, liquid assets and family fund interests under your name
00:49:59This is the copy
00:50:00According to the terms, the trustee will notify the beneficiary at the appropriate time
00:50:06She does not have to know
00:50:08But you may leave
00:50:23Chloe, this is the only thing I can still give you
00:50:34Thank you
00:50:40Claire, your playing was so beautiful
00:50:44I want to be a cellist like you someday
00:50:49Thank you, sweetheart
00:50:51I love them
00:50:52When you bowed just now, you kept looking over there
00:50:55Was your music for someone who sat there?
00:50:58Like in a story?
00:51:09No
00:51:09My music is only for me
00:51:11He did not come
00:51:12I should have known
00:51:13It really is all over
00:51:21Chloe, this arrived anonymously this morning
00:51:24It is a family trust beneficiary transfer worth hundreds of billions
00:51:29You are named the sole beneficiary
00:51:35It is Alistair
00:51:37Tell them I refuse
00:51:38Chloe, do you understand what this means?
00:51:41An astronomical fortune
00:51:43And in a way
00:51:45In a way?
00:51:46Compensation?
00:51:47Or charity?
00:51:49Brody, I do not need it
00:51:51Putting a price tag on a life with money?
00:51:54Putting a price tag on a life with money?
00:51:56Alistair, you really have not changed
00:51:59Send it back untouched
00:52:00I do not need anything from him
00:52:02And I do not need to leave him any message
00:52:17Who happened to tell her?
00:52:19How dare they
00:52:22Right, even the last thing
00:52:24She does not want it
00:52:27Sir, we have news from the federal side
00:52:29Miss Victoria has been released on bail
00:52:31I am worried she will
00:52:32No, Chloe may be in danger
00:53:00Chloe, what happened?
00:53:01What was that?
00:53:02Nothing, just an old photo
00:53:09This is not a prank, Chloe
00:53:11This is dangerous
00:53:14You cannot be alone
00:53:15I am taking you home
00:53:16I am fine
00:53:17You have been busy lately
00:53:18And I have already caused you enough trouble
00:53:21Call me if anything happens
00:53:25I will
00:53:53I am fine
00:53:56Do not move. We only want your hand.
00:54:04How much did Victoria pay you? I will double it!
00:54:09Save it, Mrs. Sterling. We get paid to do a job, and we follow rules.
00:54:23Alistair!
00:54:26Stop!
00:54:31Alistair, you said you would disappear from my world. Why did you come back?
00:54:36How did this happen? Do not scare me like this.
00:54:40You are safe. Thank God you are safe.
00:55:02I need to report a crime. South parking lot of the Vienna Concert Hall. Armed assault. Attempted intentional injury. The
00:55:08suspect is restrained.
00:55:09Also, this involves cross-border crime and a federal felony state voting case in New York from three years ago.
00:55:14I have the full chain of evidence.
00:55:18Watch him. Do not let anyone near him.
00:55:31Chloe, he is going to be okay.
00:55:41Doctor, how is he?
00:55:51The patient has lost too much blood. His blood pressure is barely detectable. He needs an emergency transfusion, but...
00:55:58But what?
00:56:00He is RH negative. The blood bank has no supply. His condition is critical, and we must find a matching
00:56:07donor immediately. We have contacted every nearby hospital and blood center, but...
00:56:12Take mine.
00:56:14What? Do you hear yourself? You are going to save him? The man who nearly destroyed you?
00:56:21Anonymous, do not record my name. Draw the blood, and I leave immediately. If you agree, I will sign now.
00:56:29All right. Please sign the confidentiality agreement and consent form here. She really signed it.
00:56:41Why? He pushed you into hell and made you lose everything. Have you forgotten the baby?
00:56:48I am not saving him. I just... do not want to owe him a life.
00:56:52Three years ago, he gave me a home, then destroyed me with his own hands. Now I give him my
00:56:56blood back.
00:56:57From this moment on, we owe each other nothing.
00:57:02The stab wound is deep, and he lost a lot of blood. We saved him, but whether he wakes up,
00:57:06and when, depends on his will and recovery.
00:57:09The next 24 hours are critical.
00:57:11Wake up.
00:57:12You think taking that knife and bleeding like this makes us even?
00:57:15You think because you are lying here, I can forget my child?
00:57:18Forget every time you abandoned me for Victoria?
00:57:20I cannot forget.
00:57:22I cannot forget when the doctor told me the baby was gone, your signature was at the bottom of that
00:57:26document.
00:57:27So cold.
00:57:29So quick.
00:57:30What is this, you lying here?
00:57:32Repentance?
00:57:33Atonement?
00:57:33It is too late.
00:57:34My child is not coming back.
00:57:36The Chloe who once believed you in that practice room is not coming back either.
00:57:39Wake up.
00:57:40Look at me.
00:57:41I want you to see with your own eyes that without you, without the sterling name, I can still stand
00:57:45at the very top.
00:57:46I want you alive, fully awake, and remembering what you lost forever.
00:57:51Do not just die like this.
00:57:53You still owe me too much.
00:57:58You have to wake up.
00:58:02Alistairn, you heard me.
00:58:03You are awake, are you not?
00:58:05Alistairn!
00:58:09Direct flight to Zurich.
00:58:10Leaves in two hours.
00:58:11The studio and apartment there are ready.
00:58:15News just came from the States.
00:58:17Victoria's extradition is complete.
00:58:18She is being flown back this afternoon under escort.
00:58:21Federal felony?
00:58:22Multiple charges, including attempted murder, cross-border murder for here, and financial fraud.
00:58:26With stacked sentences, she is never getting out.
00:58:29Got it.
00:58:30That is your reaction?
00:58:31She almost ruined your life and-
00:58:32Kate takes energy.
00:58:33I do not have any left, and I do not want to waste it here.
00:58:40You could even save her.
00:58:44I saved myself.
00:58:45From now on, I owe them nothing.
00:58:48I owe them nothing.
00:59:10Chloe, darling, what time is it?
00:59:13When did you change the bedroom like this?
00:59:15No.
00:59:15This is a hospital.
00:59:18Why am I in a hospital?
00:59:22Mr. Sterling, please do not move.
00:59:25I am fine.
00:59:27Where is Chloe?
00:59:28Where am I?
00:59:28Mr. Sterling, this is the ICU.
00:59:30You were stabbed and have been unconscious for four days.
00:59:33No.
00:59:33I clearly remember us watching the city lights on the rooftop last night.
00:59:38Sir, you need to lie down.
00:59:40You had internal bleeding and just came out of surgery.
00:59:43You need complete bed rest.
00:59:45Miss Chloe Sterling is not here.
00:59:47Not here?
00:59:47Where did she go?
00:59:49I heard she went to Zurich.
00:59:52Zurich?
00:59:53For work?
00:59:55Why did I not know?
00:59:57I do not know the details.
00:59:59I only heard she left.
01:00:00Maybe it is just a last-minute performance.
01:00:03Or, she did not tell me because she wanted to surprise me.
01:00:08When is she coming back?
01:00:09I really do not know.
01:00:11No.
01:00:12What is this feeling?
01:00:13It feels like I lost her.
01:00:14What the hell happened?
01:00:16I don't know.
01:00:21Gloria already said she did not mean it.
01:00:23Is it really worth making such a scene overnight?
01:00:25I wrote every single note of this myself.
01:00:27This is two years of my hard work.
01:00:29Allison, you know that better than anyone.
01:00:30Hard work?
01:00:33Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
01:00:35This score?
01:00:36Or the status you built using it as a prop?
01:00:38A student from a common background managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate.
01:00:44Who are you trying to impress with this wrong woman act?
01:00:47Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance of climbing to the
01:00:52top?
01:00:56Cancel this surgery?
01:00:58You're going to kill our own flesh and blood just for Victoria?
01:01:00As long as you take the fall for the accident, we can have other children in here.
01:01:07Why are these memories flooding my head?
01:01:10Where is Chloe?
01:01:12What did I do to her?
01:01:13Okay, okay, okay.
01:01:15Mr. Sterling, please calm down and stop thinking so hard.
01:01:19You need rest right now.
01:01:20You cannot get this agitated.
01:01:22Tell me, were those real?
01:01:25Did I do that to her?
01:01:27I...
01:01:28Please lie down first.
01:01:29I will get the doctor.
01:01:31I...
01:01:40The wound is healing well.
01:01:42No sign of infection.
01:01:43But the blood loss left you very weak.
01:01:46You need time to recover.
01:01:47Blood loss?
01:01:48Yes.
01:01:48When you were admitted, your condition was critical.
01:01:50Acute massive bleeding, hemogym at a dangerous level.
01:01:53We performed an emergency transfusion.
01:01:55You were lucky.
01:01:56Someone volunteered to donate blood and saved your life.
01:01:59Who?
01:02:00I am sorry, Mr. Sterling.
01:02:02The donor signed a strict confidentiality agreement.
01:02:04We are not authorized to disclose that.
01:02:09Alistin, look!
01:02:10We have the same blood type.
01:02:12What are the odds?
01:02:12It is rare.
01:02:13The odds feel like fate.
01:02:16So if anything ever happens to either of us, the other can be their blood bank, right?
01:02:20I do not say unlucky things, but yes, I will protect you any way I can...
01:02:27Chloe was here.
01:02:28Was Chloe not the donor?
01:02:30Was it Chloe?
01:02:31I cannot answer questions about visitors.
01:02:33You need rest.
01:02:36Tell me!
01:02:37Mr. Sterling, please calm down.
01:02:39Any information about the donor is legally protected.
01:02:48Mr. Sterling.
01:02:51There is an update on Ms. Thorne.
01:02:53The extradition process is complete.
01:02:55She was put on a flight back to New York under police escort this morning.
01:02:57When?
01:02:58Three days ago.
01:02:59The day after your surgery.
01:03:01Also, Chloe.
01:03:02The afternoon after Alistair's surgery ended and Alistair was confirmed out of danger,
01:03:06Chloe boarded a flight and left destination Zurich.
01:03:08Mr. Brody Cookup, Chloe's manager, Pumbrick, released her leg of Chloe's Odo tour schedule.
01:03:12That afternoon?
01:03:13Yes.
01:03:14Flight records show takeoff at 4.15 p.m.
01:03:17She gave blood and left without looking back.
01:03:20Should I contact Mrs. Sterling or try to obtain the details of her tour?
01:03:25No.
01:03:26She was right to leave.
01:03:28Report the crime.
01:03:29Testify.
01:03:30Donate blood.
01:03:31Leave.
01:03:32Every step was calculated.
01:03:33Clean.
01:03:34She thinks even hating me is a waste.
