00:00:00My name is Alice Wright. 100 years ago, I disappeared.
00:00:06Mom!
00:00:07Today, I wake up. I stand before the iron gates of the Wright family estate.
00:00:11The owner of this estate is my son, but he is about to die.
00:00:16The Wright estate is not receiving visitors at this time. I must ask you to leave at once.
00:00:22I am the person Damien Wright has been waiting for. Let me in. I can save him.
00:00:28You? Mr. Wright has been waiting for his mother, Alice Wright.
00:00:32He does not believe me. He calls two security guards to throw me out.
00:00:36And you dare stand here, a young woman barely out of her teens, telling such an absurd lie?
00:00:42Get lost!
00:00:54I kick the iron gate. Those thick, sturdy iron bars snap me off.
00:01:00Wait!
00:01:02What are you trying to do? Defying the Wright family is asking for death!
00:01:08I have already made my intentions clear.
00:01:11I must see Damien Wright.
00:01:14No one else can save him.
00:01:16They want to stop me, but after seeing the broken bars, they let me walk into the estate.
00:01:21In the living room, the Wright family gathers around Damien's hospital bed.
00:01:25Father is not lucid. Maybe we find someone to impersonate Grandmother?
00:01:29But Grandmother has been gone for a hundred years. None of us has ever seen her. Not even a single
00:01:35photograph remains.
00:01:36Michael is my eldest grandson. He is already 57. Bruce and Josie are wrinkled too. Time has been so cruel
00:01:43to them.
00:01:48Did we not say no visitors? Who let her in?
00:01:51They do not recognize me, but from their conversation, I know that I am their grandmother.
00:01:58Who are you? Leave immediately. Do not disturb my father.
00:02:04You are Damien's son, aren't you? I am his mother.
00:02:12Grandmother. You should call me Grandmother. Let me see him.
00:02:16Perhaps I can still save him.
00:02:18What? You are my father's mother? My grand-mother?
00:02:23Father said Grandmother disappeared at 27. Even if she were alive, she would be over 120.
00:02:30She is obviously a fraud.
00:02:32Exactly. She looks even younger than us. There's no way she could be our Grandmother.
00:02:39I understand their doubt, but if they delay any longer, Damien will truly be beyond saving.
00:02:46His heart rate just spiked.
00:02:48He is responding to external stimulation.
00:02:52I walk quickly upstairs. Damien's door is half open. I see him.
00:03:07The little boy who once had thick black hair now lies there, about to die.
00:03:13Are you Damien's mistress?
00:03:16Stay away from my husband, you shameless woman!
00:03:19She is Ruby, Dami's wife. She thinks I am his mistress.
00:03:22She screams, lunges at me, shoves me aside.
00:03:26Let me tell you, as long as I am here, you will not get one step closer to him.
00:03:32But her voice is what made Mr. Wright's heart rate spike just now.
00:03:36That talk about seeing his mother one last time is all lies.
00:03:40On his deathbed, he is thinking about his mistress.
00:03:47Miss, whoever you are, please leave, now.
00:03:51If you are here for his fortune, I will have my lawyer contact you.
00:03:54Michael thinks I will back down.
00:03:56But I am Damien's mother.
00:03:58I will not back down.
00:04:00Only I can save him now.
00:04:02Get out of my way, now.
00:04:04Or face the consequences.
00:04:06They try to stop me again.
00:04:08I've already said, you can't come in.
00:04:11But suddenly, Damien's weak voice rings out.
00:04:14Come on.
00:04:18Everyone looks at me in shock.
00:04:23Let her in.
00:04:25Even if she is not father's mother, consider it a kind lie for father.
00:04:33I walk into the room.
00:04:37Damien's condition is critical.
00:04:41I pick up the scalpel and slice open Damien's scalp.
00:04:45She has lost her mind.
00:04:47She did not even look at the CT scan before cutting him open.
00:04:51This is murder.
00:04:53Stop!
00:04:54Stop this at once!
00:04:56Security!
00:04:57Break in!
00:04:58Drag her out!
00:04:59They think I am cutting blindly,
00:05:00but they do not know that I can see through his skull.
00:05:03I can see the tumor, like an egg,
00:05:06embedded deep in the brain tissue.
00:05:08I was once a world-renowned neurosurgeon.
00:05:12And now,
00:05:15my strength, my speed, my vision
00:05:18are not what a normal person should have.
00:05:22Wait.
00:05:22That insertion angle.
00:05:24It is perfect.
00:05:25She missed every major vessel?
00:05:27Her hematosis technique.
00:05:29I have never seen anything so precise.
00:05:31I clasp the tumor with delicate forceps.
00:05:34Hair-thin, neural strands cling to it,
00:05:37but they do not stop me.
00:05:38She did it.
00:05:39The tumor that the world's leading experts declared inoperable,
00:05:43she removed it in under five minutes.
00:05:45I push open the door.
00:05:49The way they look at me is as if they are seeing a goddess.
00:05:54Miss.
00:05:55My father.
00:05:57The operation was successful.
00:06:00No sooner have I spoken than the cardiac-mometer screams.
00:06:04The jagged line that represents life flattens into one straight line.
00:06:09Father is dead!
00:06:10She killed him!
00:06:12Security!
00:06:13Capture her!
00:06:14I know I made no mistakes.
00:06:16The tumor was cleanly removed.
00:06:18Every vessel was preserved.
00:06:20There is no medical reason for cardiac arrest.
00:06:23Michael, what are you waiting for?
00:06:25If you will not kill her, I will.
00:06:29He fired a shot.
00:06:31A bullet flies straight at my head.
00:06:34I do not dodge.
00:06:36I reach out my hand and catch it.
00:06:40I crush the bullet in my palm.
00:06:42Silver dust spills through my fingers.
00:06:44What?
00:06:45What kind of monster is she?
00:06:47She can catch bullets with her bare hands?
00:06:49Everyone looks at me as if I am a monster.
00:06:51Open fire!
00:06:52I do not care what she is!
00:06:54I want her dead!
00:06:57Countless bullets hit me, but they don't cause me any fatal damage.
00:07:00A bullet graces my cheek.
00:07:04The wounds appear and then heal completely in an instant.
00:07:10What kind of monster are you?
00:07:14I ignore Michael.
00:07:16I bend down to check Damien's vital signs.
00:07:19Suddenly, his finger twitches.
00:07:22Father's finger moved!
00:07:24Everyone's eyes focus on Damien.
00:07:27They rush over, push me aside, and gather around his bed.
00:07:31Father.
00:07:33It seems my grandchildren are somewhat filial after all.
00:07:37Damien slowly opens his eyes.
00:07:40His heartbeat gradually returns to normal.
00:07:42The heartbeat has returned.
00:07:45The surgery really succeeded.
00:07:48Father.
00:07:49You are finally awake.
00:07:54Mother.
00:07:57Damien murmurs softly.
00:07:59This makes everyone around the bed turn to look at me.
00:08:02But they do not believe I am Damien's mother.
00:08:06I do not know who you are, but you saved my father.
00:08:09Then you are our family's benefactor.
00:08:13It is what I should do.
00:08:15If I could trade my life for his, I would not hesitate.
00:08:18Michael brings me to the bedside.
00:08:20Father.
00:08:21She is the one who performed the surgery on you.
00:08:23The moment he sees me, Damien's eyes widen.
00:08:27To everyone's disbelief, he cries out.
00:08:29Mother.
00:08:30Everyone stares at Damien in shock, thinking he has mistaken her for someone else.
00:08:37Father.
00:08:38Are you mistaken?
00:08:39Damien, how could this young lady possibly be your mother?
00:08:46Damien struggles to get up.
00:08:49Pushes everyone aside.
00:08:51And falls to his knees before me.
00:08:59Mother.
00:09:00I missed you so much.
00:09:03Where did you go?
00:09:06I have been looking for you for a hundred years.
00:09:10I hold him gently in my arms.
00:09:15Damien, do not cry anymore.
00:09:17You are already a great-grandfather.
00:09:20Your children will laugh at you if they see you like this.
00:09:24What is wrong with crying in front of my mother?
00:09:28Even if I am 107 years old,
00:09:31In front of you, I will always be a child.
00:09:37What are you standing there for?
00:09:40Greet your grandmother.
00:09:43Are you all mute?
00:09:46Grandmother?
00:09:51They cannot bring themselves to call a woman who looks the same age as their own children grandmother.
00:09:57I do not blame them.
00:09:59Damien, you have just woken up.
00:10:02Do not get too emotional.
00:10:04Let your children go rest.
00:10:06We will talk later.
00:10:08Everyone go out.
00:10:10As they walk out of the room,
00:10:12they keep looking back.
00:10:16Watching their 107-year-old father nestle beside me like a child.
00:10:24Damien falls asleep.
00:10:26I tuck him in and walk out of the room.
00:10:30Downstairs, Michael sits in the living room,
00:10:32his expressions tangled with unease.
00:10:35I do not know how to face him.
00:10:37In theory, he is my grandson.
00:10:41But he is older than I look.
00:10:44Just as I hesitate,
00:10:45a face appears on the television.
00:10:47It is an honor to welcome everyone to the LR Group's new product launch.
00:10:53I freeze.
00:10:55I rush to the television,
00:10:57staring at the tiny dark mole at the corner of his eye.
00:11:00There is no doubt.
00:11:01This man is Damien's biological father.
00:11:12Who is he?
00:11:14That is Bowen Morris,
00:11:15the CEO of the LR Group.
00:11:17Do you know him?
00:11:19How old is he?
00:11:20From what I know,
00:11:21he just turned 27.
00:11:2327 years old.
00:11:25100 years ago,
00:11:26when I met that man,
00:11:27he was also 27.
00:11:29If it is really him,
00:11:30then he, like me,
00:11:31have existed for over a century.
00:11:33To confirm the relationship between Damien and me,
00:11:36we go to do a paternity test.
00:11:48The doctor holds a report and looks at me as if I am a monster.
00:11:58This young lady's DNA matches your father's at 0%.
00:12:02So you are saying she is not biologically related to my father?
00:12:09You fools.
00:12:11I knew all along that this woman was a fraud.
00:12:16Beyond that,
00:12:20even humans and chimpanzees share over 96% genetic similarity.
00:12:270% means this young woman is not human.
00:12:33Everyone looks at me as if I am a monster.
00:12:38Not human?
00:12:41Then what is she?
00:12:43Do you hear that?
00:12:45She is not even human.
00:12:48Security.
00:12:49Grab her.
00:12:52I knew the DNA test would raise questions,
00:12:55but I never imagined they would label me as non-human.
00:13:01I cannot explain why the DNA test turned out this way.
00:13:05100 years ago,
00:13:06I had an accident.
00:13:07When I woke up,
00:13:09I was no longer in the world I knew.
00:13:11But one thing I am certain of
00:13:13is that I am Damien's mother.
00:13:16I came for only one thing,
00:13:18to find my child.
00:13:20I want to make up for this 100-year absence.
00:13:22You still want to deceive us.
00:13:25Someone like you should be locked up in prison for life.
00:13:29Silence.
00:13:30Who gave you the audacity to treat my mother like this?
00:13:39Whether you believe it or not is your problem.
00:13:42But if anyone dares to harm her again,
00:13:44I will not let it go.
00:13:46Damien comes.
00:13:48He sits in a wheelchair,
00:13:50pale but with sharp, commanding eyes.
00:13:53He stands in front of me again,
00:13:55just like 100 years ago
00:13:57when that little boy tried to shield me with his small body.
00:14:02From today onward,
00:14:03the chairman of the Wright Group
00:14:05is my mother, Alice Wright.
00:14:10What did you say?
00:14:14Damien,
00:14:14are you really going to give the company
00:14:16to a woman of unknown origin?
00:14:19Father,
00:14:19this decision is too hasty.
00:14:22Even setting aside
00:14:23how unbelievable her age claim is,
00:14:26you should at least
00:14:27let us verify her identity.
00:14:30Without her,
00:14:31I would not exist.
00:14:33If she had been by my side
00:14:35all these years,
00:14:36this company would be
00:14:37a hundred times stronger
00:14:38than it is now.
00:14:39You have lost your mind!
00:14:42You have truly lost your mind!
00:14:45Damien,
00:14:46tell me,
00:14:46has this woman drugged you or something?
00:14:49I am perfectly clear-headed.
00:14:52If you cannot accept it,
00:14:55divorce me now
00:14:56and leave the Wright family immediately.
00:15:01I will kill you,
00:15:03shameless woman!
00:15:05Ruby grabs a fruit knife
00:15:06from the table
00:15:07and charges at me.
00:15:08I do not dodge.
00:15:11Damien,
00:15:12I tolerated her
00:15:13because she stayed by your side
00:15:14for so many years,
00:15:15but she has closed
00:15:16that path herself.
00:15:19I snatch the knife
00:15:20from her hand
00:15:21and press the blade
00:15:22against her neck.
00:15:23You will be maimed
00:15:24under my sanction.
00:15:25You said I am a monster.
00:15:27So remember this.
00:15:29Do not come looking for death.
00:15:32Ruby,
00:15:33you dared to lay a hand
00:15:35on my mother.
00:15:37From now on,
00:15:38all your credit cards
00:15:39are cancelled.
00:15:40Find a quiet place
00:15:41and reflect on what you have done.
00:15:47Ruby collapses
00:15:48on the floor crying.
00:15:49No one in the Wright family
00:15:51dares to speak.
00:15:53Then,
00:15:54I remember something else.
00:15:56You said that man's name
00:15:58is Bowen Morris.
00:15:59Help me contact him.
00:16:00I have something
00:16:01extremely urgent to confirm.
00:16:03Your reaction
00:16:04when you saw him
00:16:05was very abnormal.
00:16:07What exactly
00:16:08is your relationship
00:16:09with him?
00:16:10I look at
00:16:11dark television screen.
00:16:13That face is still
00:16:14lingering in my mind.
00:16:16He is Demi's
00:16:18biological father.
00:16:19Everyone's eyes widen
00:16:21as they stare at me
00:16:22in shock.
00:16:25Mom,
00:16:26what did you say?
00:16:27It is also possible
00:16:28that he just looks like him.
00:16:32In any case,
00:16:34arrange a meeting
00:16:35between me and Bowen Morris
00:16:36as soon as possible.
00:16:37To confirm his identity,
00:16:39they contact Bowen Morris,
00:16:40but he refuses.
00:16:41At the same time,
00:16:42Damien arranges
00:16:43something for me.
00:16:44Enrollment at
00:16:45Weston University.
00:16:46He says it is
00:16:47the best university
00:16:48in the country.
00:16:49I need to adapt
00:16:49to this era quickly,
00:16:51and attending school
00:16:52is the best way.
00:16:59I do not know
00:17:00that someone
00:17:01I never expected
00:17:02is waiting for me
00:17:03at this school.
00:17:08I stand at the entrance
00:17:10of Weston University.
00:17:11One hundred years ago,
00:17:13I taught here.
00:17:14Now,
00:17:15I am a student.
00:17:18I am about to step inside
00:17:20when a commotion
00:17:21breaks out to my right.
00:17:22Several boys
00:17:23in school uniforms
00:17:24push their way through,
00:17:25shoving all the students
00:17:26on the stairs as I'd.
00:17:30It is Weston Wright.
00:17:31Hurry,
00:17:32let us go.
00:17:33He is the tyrant
00:17:34of Weston.
00:17:36Someone challenged him
00:17:37last semester
00:17:38and ended up
00:17:39in the hospital.
00:17:39A blonde young man
00:17:41walks over,
00:17:42his uniform jacket open.
00:17:45Arrogance radiates
00:17:46from every inch of him.
00:17:48What are you looking at?
00:17:49Do you not know
00:17:49how to get out of the way?
00:17:51Weston,
00:17:51this is for you.
00:17:52I have liked you
00:17:53since the first day
00:17:54of school.
00:17:56Get lost.
00:17:57He crushes the love letter
00:17:59into a ball,
00:18:00throws it on the ground,
00:18:01and steps on it.
00:18:02The girl cries.
00:18:04No one around
00:18:04dares to speak.
00:18:06Stop right there.
00:18:12You here to confess
00:18:13your love, too?
00:18:14Go wait in line.
00:18:15Pick it up.
00:18:18What did you say?
00:18:19I said,
00:18:23pick up that letter,
00:18:25give it back to her,
00:18:26and then apologize.
00:18:28New student?
00:18:29Do you know who I am?
00:18:30Do you really think
00:18:31you can tell me what to do?
00:18:33Who you are
00:18:33does not matter.
00:18:35When someone offers you
00:18:36their sin's feelings,
00:18:39you can reject them,
00:18:40but you have no right
00:18:41to trample on them.
00:18:43What if I do not
00:18:44pick it up?
00:18:46He reaches for my collar.
00:18:48I use just one move,
00:18:50grab his shoulder,
00:18:51and execute
00:18:52a shoulder throw.
00:18:55He flies several meters
00:18:56and crashes to the ground.
00:18:58The whole crowd
00:18:59falls silence.
00:19:02Wesson lies on the ground,
00:19:04staring at me
00:19:05in disbelief.
00:19:06His followers rush over
00:19:07and help him up.
00:19:09Bustot!
00:19:13You are dead!
00:19:15This is not over!
00:19:19Wesson leaves in disgrace.
00:19:24I pick up the love letter
00:19:26and give it back to the girl.
00:19:28Instead of thanking me,
00:19:30she glares at me.
00:19:38I shake my head.
00:19:40I really do not
00:19:41understand kids these days.
00:19:43Did you see that?
00:19:46I walk into the classroom
00:19:47and am assigned
00:19:48to the back corner.
00:19:49I am about to walk over
00:19:51when a basketball
00:19:51flies in through the back door,
00:19:53heading straight for my face.
00:19:56I swat the basketball away.
00:19:58The ball belongs to Wesson.
00:20:08He comes up to me
00:20:09and kicks my chair away.
00:20:16Did I allow you to sit here?
00:20:18Leave immediately.
00:20:20Wesson and his friends
00:20:21yell at me to change seats,
00:20:23but I do not care.
00:20:25The classroom is for studying.
00:20:27You are the ones
00:20:28who should change seats.
00:20:29Wesson,
00:20:30she is just like the others,
00:20:32just trying to get your attention.
00:20:34She has been watching you
00:20:36since she stepped onto campus.
00:20:41I will give you two choices.
00:20:43Sit down properly
00:20:44or get out.
00:20:45She actually told Wesson
00:20:47to get out?
00:20:47I have never seen anyone
00:20:49dare to talk to Wesson like that.
00:20:50Does she have a death wish?
00:20:54You have some nerve.
00:20:57I hope you can last
00:20:59more than two days
00:21:00sitting here.
00:21:11I am Corian.
00:21:12I saw what you did
00:21:14to Wesson in there.
00:21:15That was incredible.
00:21:17Do you know
00:21:18people have started
00:21:20a betting pool?
00:21:23They are betting
00:21:24on how many days
00:21:25you can last
00:21:26sitting next to him.
00:21:28Everyone says
00:21:29Wesson is about
00:21:29to make his move.
00:21:31A bet on how many days
00:21:33I can last?
00:21:35Fine.
00:21:37I want to see
00:21:38who comes out on top.
00:21:48The next day
00:21:49I post class rules
00:21:51next to the bulletin board.
00:21:53Greet the teacher?
00:21:55No unrelated activities
00:21:56during class?
00:21:57Alice,
00:21:58who do you think you are?
00:22:00Even the teacher
00:22:01does not dare to control us.
00:22:03What gives you the right?
00:22:06Do you really think
00:22:07these stupid class rules
00:22:08will turn us
00:22:09into good students?
00:22:10This class was given up
00:22:11on long ago.
00:22:13Studying or not studying
00:22:13makes no difference.
00:22:14Just because you do not
00:22:16want to study
00:22:16does not mean others
00:22:17do not want to either.
00:22:19Mr. Faulkner!
00:22:20Alice says she can lead
00:22:22our class to surpass
00:22:22the elite class,
00:22:23the number one class
00:22:24in the school.
00:22:25Alice,
00:22:26I appreciate your enthusiasm.
00:22:30To be honest,
00:22:31as long as our class
00:22:31does not end up
00:22:32in last place,
00:22:33I would already be grateful.
00:22:35What if I told you
00:22:36that it is possible?
00:22:38What are you saying?
00:22:39If I can raise
00:22:40the class's average score
00:22:41on the next monthly exam,
00:22:42you will lend me
00:22:42your faculty library card.
00:22:48If you can actually
00:22:50raise the class average,
00:22:51not only will I
00:22:52lend you the card,
00:22:53I will agree
00:22:53to any request you make.
00:22:56Wesson spins
00:22:57a basketball nearby,
00:22:58a mocking grin
00:22:59on his lips.
00:23:01Alice,
00:23:02do you really think
00:23:03you can save this class?
00:23:04Do you know
00:23:05how pathetic
00:23:06our class average is?
00:23:11then let us revise
00:23:12our bet.
00:23:14What do you mean?
00:23:15If I raise
00:23:16the class's grades,
00:23:17from now on,
00:23:18everyone must
00:23:19follow the class rules.
00:23:21No causing trouble,
00:23:22no defiance.
00:23:23If I lose,
00:23:25then you
00:23:25voluntarily
00:23:26withdraw from school.
00:23:28Withdraw.
00:23:30But Alice is...
00:23:31It is a deal.
00:23:32What?
00:23:35Is she crazy?
00:23:36She wants to lead
00:23:37the worst class
00:23:38to surpass the elite class?
00:23:39She beat up Wesson
00:23:40as soon as she arrived,
00:23:41caused trouble,
00:23:42and now she wants
00:23:43to surpass the elite class?
00:23:44She must be insane.
00:23:45In just one morning,
00:23:47my name spreads
00:23:48throughout the entire school.
00:23:49Everyone is waiting
00:23:50to see me
00:23:51get expelled
00:23:52in disgrace.
00:23:53And trouble
00:23:54finds me
00:23:55very quickly.
00:23:57In the cafeteria,
00:23:59Corinne and I
00:23:59are eating.
00:24:03A group of people
00:24:04approach me.
00:24:05The leader
00:24:05is a girl
00:24:06with a very
00:24:07unfriendly look
00:24:08in her eyes.
00:24:12So you are Alice,
00:24:14right?
00:24:15What do you want?
00:24:18Nina has heard
00:24:19about you
00:24:19and wants to meet you.
00:24:20She is waiting
00:24:21for you
00:24:22in the small courtyard.
00:24:24Alice,
00:24:25they are Nina's people.
00:24:27Nina is the
00:24:28hyress of the
00:24:28Thompson family.
00:24:29You need to be careful.
00:24:31The Thompson family.
00:24:33During the war,
00:24:34there was a boy
00:24:35with the Cernay's Thompson.
00:24:36He was Dami's playmate.
00:24:38I wonder if he is
00:24:39related to this Nina.
00:24:43If you take
00:24:44one more step,
00:24:45I guarantee
00:24:45you will regret it.
00:24:47Offends the
00:24:47Thompson family
00:24:48and you will not
00:24:49even know
00:24:49how you die.
00:24:51She waves the
00:24:52small knife
00:24:53in her hand
00:24:53at me.
00:24:55I grab her wrist.
00:24:58Twist it
00:24:59and shove.
00:25:00She flies
00:25:01through the air.
00:25:04You dare hit me?
00:25:05Just wait!
00:25:07The Thompson family
00:25:08will not let you
00:25:09get away with this!
00:25:12They flee in embarrassment.
00:25:14But I know
00:25:15they will not
00:25:15let this go.
00:25:20As I go upstairs,
00:25:21Wesson is leaning
00:25:22against the stairwell
00:25:23corner,
00:25:24as if he is waiting
00:25:25specifically for me.
00:25:27Did Nina cause
00:25:28trouble for you?
00:25:32Thanks to you?
00:25:34Nina has nothing
00:25:35to do with me.
00:25:37But she is targeting
00:25:38you because of me.
00:25:41I will handle this.
00:25:42You need my help.
00:25:44I do not need that.
00:25:45I refuse his help.
00:25:47I really want to see
00:25:48how the Thompson family
00:25:49will not let me off.
00:25:50In the classroom,
00:25:52my class rules
00:25:53have been posted
00:25:53for a week.
00:25:55No one follows them.
00:25:57Everyone laughs at me.
00:25:59Alice,
00:26:00even the teacher
00:26:01has given up on us.
00:26:03Why are you trying
00:26:04to play hero?
00:26:05Those stupid
00:26:05class rules of yours?
00:26:07Do you really think
00:26:07following them
00:26:08will get us high scores?
00:26:10Dream on.
00:26:11To be honest,
00:26:12why should we worry
00:26:13about the future?
00:26:14We were born rich.
00:26:15Whether we study or not,
00:26:17we will never have
00:26:18to worry our whole lives.
00:26:19I know every one
00:26:20of them is very rich.
00:26:21But money can disappear.
00:26:23Only knowledge
00:26:24always belongs to you.
00:26:25I post another paper
00:26:27next to the class rules.
00:26:29Scholarship incentive plan.
00:26:30For every point
00:26:31the class average goes up,
00:26:32I will reward $10,000.
00:26:34Wesson,
00:26:35look quickly.
00:26:36Alice has lost her mind.
00:26:38She wrote that
00:26:39for every point increase,
00:26:40$10,000.
00:26:41A hundred point increase
00:26:42is $1 million.
00:26:44Split among everyone.
00:26:45That is so much money.
00:26:46Wesson tears down
00:26:47the plan I posted.
00:26:51No studying.
00:26:53No one is allowed
00:26:54to study.
00:26:56I am in charge.
00:26:57It does not matter to me.
00:26:59Whether you study or not,
00:27:01I lose nothing.
00:27:02Your life is yours.
00:27:04Alice,
00:27:04I read your study plan.
00:27:06You explain things
00:27:07much more clearly
00:27:08than Mr. Faulkner.
00:27:09I want to learn from you.
00:27:11I really want to learn.
00:27:12Is that okay?
00:27:13Eaton walks over
00:27:14and sees me doing
00:27:15menza test questions.
00:27:17Mesa test questions?
00:27:19You dare to touch these?
00:27:21Do you think you can?
00:27:22I grab his wrist
00:27:23and twist it gently.
00:27:25A crack sounds.
00:27:27Eden clutches his wrist
00:27:29and falls to the ground
00:27:31in pain.
00:27:33Get lost.
00:27:35The dismissal bell rings.
00:27:37Wesson is the first
00:27:38to rush out of the classroom.
00:27:44Then,
00:27:45everyone crowds around me.
00:27:48Is it true?
00:27:49Do you really give money
00:27:50for improving scores?
00:27:53Corian said
00:27:53your notes
00:27:54are very detailed.
00:27:55Can I borrow them
00:27:57and take a look?
00:28:00You actually believe her?
00:28:02Wesson said
00:28:03no one is allowed
00:28:04to study.
00:28:05He grabs a bucket
00:28:06and dumps water
00:28:08on the desks.
00:28:13Books,
00:28:14backpacks,
00:28:15test papers,
00:28:16all soaked.
00:28:17Eaton,
00:28:18have you lost your mind?
00:28:20This is only the beginning.
00:28:22Eaton slams the door
00:28:23and leaves.
00:28:25Corian turns
00:28:26to look at me.
00:28:30Alice,
00:28:31maybe you should not
00:28:32come to school
00:28:32for a few days.
00:28:33You have made Nina angry
00:28:35and now Eaton too.
00:28:37They are even harder
00:28:38to deal with
00:28:38than Wesson.
00:28:40Corian leaves.
00:28:44I am alone
00:28:45in the classroom.
00:28:48It gets dark.
00:28:50I do not yet know
00:28:51what is waiting
00:28:52for me tonight.
00:28:54Janice leads
00:28:55a group of girls
00:28:55and blocks me
00:28:56in the stairwell.
00:28:58They are holding
00:28:59a bottle.
00:29:03I smell it.
00:29:04Sulfuric acid.
00:29:06Alice,
00:29:07do you think
00:29:08you are so tough?
00:29:12Guess what it would
00:29:13feel like
00:29:14if we poured this
00:29:15on your face.
00:29:21I snatch the bottle
00:29:23of sulfuric acid
00:29:24and look at Janice.
00:29:26I point the opening
00:29:27at Janice's face.
00:29:33Her whole body
00:29:34collapses.
00:29:35No,
00:29:36I was wrong.
00:29:38I was really wrong.
00:29:42Your mouth
00:29:43needs to learn
00:29:44to shut up.
00:29:47I threw away
00:29:48the bottle.
00:29:49Janice lies
00:29:50on the ground
00:29:51trembling.
00:29:55I turn
00:29:56and walk away.
00:29:57The next day,
00:29:58when Janice
00:29:59comes to school,
00:30:00everyone stares
00:30:01at her head.
00:30:02Her hair
00:30:03has been shaved off.
00:30:04Not a single
00:30:05strand left.
00:30:07Oh my god,
00:30:09what happened
00:30:09to Janice's hair?
00:30:10Who did that?
00:30:11The whole class
00:30:12is asking.
00:30:13Who did it?
00:30:14I do not answer.
00:30:16Some questions
00:30:18do not need answers.
00:30:22Things have escalated.
00:30:25The elite class students
00:30:27start to surround me.
00:30:29The leader
00:30:29is Sally.
00:30:31Alice,
00:30:31I apologize to you
00:30:33on Janice's behalf.
00:30:34She went too far.
00:30:37But you should not
00:30:38take it too seriously.
00:30:40After all,
00:30:41you are new here.
00:30:42You do not understand
00:30:43the rules here.
00:30:44On the surface,
00:30:45she is mediating.
00:30:46But what she really means
00:30:48is you do not belong here.
00:30:50Have we met before?
00:30:54I was just trying
00:30:55to help you.
00:30:56Why are you so ungrateful?
00:30:58Sally kindly spoke up
00:31:00for you
00:31:00and this is your attitude?
00:31:01No wonder Janice
00:31:02wanted to teach you
00:31:03a lesson.
00:31:04You deserve to be
00:31:05put in your place.
00:31:06Sally bites her lip,
00:31:07standing in the middle
00:31:08of the crowd.
00:31:09She does not stop them.
00:31:11She just watches.
00:31:12This is what she wants.
00:31:13For everyone to think
00:31:15that I am the one
00:31:16bullying her.
00:31:23You are still too young
00:31:24to compete with me.
00:31:26Nina is not satisfied.
00:31:27She spends a large sum
00:31:29of money to hire
00:31:29international bodyguards.
00:31:31A dozen large men
00:31:32surround me.
00:31:33Alice,
00:31:34tonight is the night
00:31:35you die.
00:31:36I look at her.
00:31:38The dagger glints
00:31:39under the streetlight.
00:31:40Then I move.
00:31:44In less than 30 seconds,
00:31:46a dozen large men
00:31:47are all on the ground.
00:31:48Their arms are broken by me.
00:31:50They are tossed aside
00:31:51like trash.
00:31:52How is this possible?
00:31:54Are you even human?
00:32:01I grab the back
00:32:02of her collar
00:32:03and lift her up.
00:32:04I snatch the dagger
00:32:05from her hand.
00:32:07What are you going to do?
00:32:09Let me go!
00:32:12I cut off her hair,
00:32:14strand by strand.
00:32:19Her hair falls
00:32:20to the ground
00:32:20in clumps.
00:32:21My hair!
00:32:24My hair!
00:32:30I leave.
00:32:32And her hair
00:32:33has become
00:32:34just like Janice.
00:32:39The monthly exam results
00:32:41are out.
00:32:42My score surpasses
00:32:43the elite class.
00:32:44Perfect score.
00:32:46First place
00:32:46in the school.
00:32:51The elite class teacher
00:32:52looks at the score report.
00:32:53Her face full of disbelief.
00:32:59Impossible!
00:33:00She must have cheated!
00:33:01I demand a retake.
00:33:03Take it publicly
00:33:04on the sports field.
00:33:05Full surveillance.
00:33:09I do not argue
00:33:10with this request.
00:33:11Only strength
00:33:12will truly shut them up.
00:33:14What if I still
00:33:15get a perfect score?
00:33:19If you get a perfect score,
00:33:21I will give you
00:33:22the elite class classroom.
00:33:24Fine.
00:33:25The exam begins.
00:33:28Aaliyah is waiting
00:33:29to see me
00:33:30make a fool of myself.
00:33:36In less than 20 minutes,
00:33:38I hand in my paper.
00:33:40My test paper
00:33:41is graded
00:33:41by Aaliyah herself.
00:33:49Seeing the perfect score
00:33:50on it,
00:33:51she completely
00:33:52breaks down.
00:33:57Perfect score?
00:33:58This is impossible!
00:34:00You must have used
00:34:01high-tech cheating methods!
00:34:03Is it really that hard
00:34:04to admit that someone
00:34:05else is excellent?
00:34:06You!
00:34:07I can prove
00:34:08that Alice did not cheat.
00:34:14because she has passed
00:34:16the Mensa Advanced Assessment.
00:34:20The Mensa Advanced Assessment.
00:34:23Only 0.01%
00:34:26of the global population
00:34:28can pass it.
00:34:30Alice is one of them.
00:34:38Alice's IQ test results
00:34:39have broken
00:34:40every record
00:34:41since this school
00:34:42was founded.
00:34:43She is a once-in-a-century genius.
00:34:49Wesson's status
00:34:49at me blankly,
00:34:51his eyes full of confusion.
00:34:53Who is she really?
00:35:01The crowd disperses.
00:35:03Pierce walks over to me
00:35:04and lowers his voice.
00:35:07There is a top-secret
00:35:09national project.
00:35:10Are you willing to join?
00:35:13What project?
00:35:14I cannot say yet.
00:35:16But if you join,
00:35:18the resources
00:35:19you will have access to
00:35:20will be a hundred times
00:35:21more than what you have now.
00:35:22I do not agree.
00:35:24I do not refuse either.
00:35:26I am thinking,
00:35:27what exactly are they doing?
00:35:29The elite class
00:35:30lost the bet,
00:35:31but they stubbornly
00:35:33refused to move out
00:35:34of the best classroom.
00:35:38Sally has a heart condition.
00:35:40She cannot climb stairs.
00:35:42Changing classrooms
00:35:43will affect her health.
00:35:46When you made the bet,
00:35:48why did you not consider
00:35:50her heart condition then?
00:35:53You.
00:35:54I contact the vice president
00:35:56directly.
00:36:02The vice president
00:36:03personally orders
00:36:04that the elite class
00:36:05must move out.
00:36:13Alice, why are you so cruel?
00:36:16I am not cruel.
00:36:18I am just asking you
00:36:19to keep your word.
00:36:21The elite class students
00:36:22drag their boxes
00:36:23and slink out
00:36:24of the classroom.
00:36:25Sally walks at the back.
00:36:29She looks back at me.
00:36:31In that look,
00:36:32I see the deepest hatred
00:36:33I have ever known.
00:36:35Late at night,
00:36:36I return to my dorm.
00:36:43The door is open.
00:36:45The door is open.
00:36:45Something is wrong.
00:36:48A python coils on the bed.
00:36:53Spiders crawl on the walls.
00:36:57A monitor lizard clings to the ceiling.
00:37:02Esther and her companions
00:37:03hide outside the door
00:37:04watching this scene.
00:37:05Smiles of revenge
00:37:06on their faces.
00:37:12Let us see how she dies this time.
00:37:16I blow a soft whistle.
00:37:21The sound is very quiet.
00:37:23But the animals hear it.
00:37:27The python slides off the bed.
00:37:29It coils around Esther's neck.
00:37:31Help!
00:37:32It is squeezing me!
00:37:34Help!
00:37:35The spider jumps
00:37:36onto another girl's face.
00:37:39The monitor lizard
00:37:40chases a third girl
00:37:42up two flights of stairs.
00:37:44The whole dormitory build
00:37:46is screaming.
00:37:49What?
00:37:50What is going on here?
00:37:57I do not speak.
00:37:59No one knows
00:38:00I can communicate with animals.
00:38:05Expel Alice.
00:38:06This is intentional assault.
00:38:09She should go to prison.
00:38:16We need to review
00:38:17the surveillance footage.
00:38:18The footage appears
00:38:19on the screen.
00:38:21Everyone sees it.
00:38:22The elite class students
00:38:23brought the animals
00:38:24into the dorm themselves.
00:38:26Esther used the keypad
00:38:27to open my door.
00:38:28No one will ever know.
00:38:37This...
00:38:37This is impossible.
00:38:39You're saying
00:38:40the surveillance footage
00:38:41is fake?
00:38:41Yes!
00:38:42The footage is fake!
00:38:44Alice fabricated it!
00:38:45The footage must be fake.
00:38:49Fake?
00:38:51Then what about
00:38:52the fingerprints?
00:38:54The animals have
00:38:56your fingerprints on them.
00:38:57Aaliyah cannot speak.
00:38:58The elite class students
00:38:59hang their heads.
00:39:00My students...
00:39:01This time
00:39:01no one can help them.
00:39:03Just then...
00:39:03Minna steps forward.
00:39:05She is the quietest
00:39:06student in our class.
00:39:07Sir,
00:39:08it's not like that at all.
00:39:09Then tell me
00:39:10what really happened.
00:39:13I testify
00:39:14that Alice used
00:39:15a brain-computer
00:39:16interface chip
00:39:16to control us.
00:39:22The special
00:39:22federal agency arrives.
00:39:24They are here
00:39:25to take me away.
00:39:29You illegally
00:39:30implanted
00:39:31a brain-computer
00:39:32interface chip.
00:39:33I sit calmly
00:39:35in the interrogation room
00:39:36like I am listening
00:39:37to a joke.
00:39:38That
00:39:39is a
00:39:40federal
00:39:40felony.
00:39:44Your classmate
00:39:45has already
00:39:46identified you.
00:39:48Who?
00:39:50Minna Montgomery,
00:39:52your classmate.
00:39:53She said
00:39:54you used a chip
00:39:55to control
00:39:55the whole class.
00:39:57Then did you run
00:39:58the test?
00:39:59Do I have a chip
00:40:00in my body?
00:40:04I...
00:40:04I...
00:40:05The testing process
00:40:05is standard procedure.
00:40:07The results
00:40:08aren't ready yet.
00:40:09Then until the results
00:40:09come back,
00:40:10you have no evidence
00:40:11to detain me.
00:40:12The test results
00:40:13come back.
00:40:13There is no chip
00:40:14in my body.
00:40:15But Charles refuses
00:40:17to let me go.
00:40:18Even if there is none
00:40:19now, it does not mean
00:40:20you never had one.
00:40:21We need to continue
00:40:21the investigation.
00:40:23So you plan
00:40:23to detain me
00:40:24indefinitely
00:40:24without any evidence?
00:40:26Until all suspicion
00:40:27is eliminated.
00:40:29And does your
00:40:29elimination of suspicion
00:40:31have a time limit?
00:40:32That depends
00:40:33on the progress
00:40:34of the investigation.
00:40:38You do not have
00:40:40the authority
00:40:40to detain her.
00:40:42Who are you?
00:40:46William Swain.
00:40:48Mensa Department.
00:40:49Mesa?
00:40:50Department?
00:40:52Alice is a certified
00:40:53top-tier talent
00:40:54of our organization.
00:40:57If you do not
00:40:58release her immediately,
00:40:59you will bear
00:41:01the consequences.
00:41:04I am released.
00:41:06I return to school.
00:41:07Corin rushes up
00:41:08and hugs me.
00:41:13I thought I would
00:41:14never see you again.
00:41:16It's all right now.
00:41:17Look, I'm perfectly fine.
00:41:19Wesson stands
00:41:20in the distance.
00:41:21His expression
00:41:22is complicated.
00:41:23He almost called
00:41:24home for help.
00:41:25The people he swore
00:41:26he would never
00:41:26contact again.
00:41:28Fuck, forget it, Wesson.
00:41:30The person who filed
00:41:31the false report
00:41:32will be severely punished.
00:41:36Mina Montgomery,
00:41:37do you have anything
00:41:38to say for yourself?
00:41:40I, I...
00:41:46No one expected
00:41:48that Mina would run
00:41:49to the school rooftop.
00:41:51The school pushed me
00:41:52to this!
00:41:53Alice pushed me
00:41:55to this!
00:41:58Alice Wright did this.
00:42:01My father is sick.
00:42:04My mother is gone.
00:42:06My little brothers
00:42:07and sisters are starving.
00:42:09I need that scholarship.
00:42:12But Alice took it all away!
00:42:15How can you be so cruel?
00:42:20Are you gonna watch
00:42:22my whole family
00:42:23starve to death?
00:42:24In front of everyone,
00:42:26she starts to morally
00:42:27manipulate me.
00:42:30Where did you spend
00:42:31your money?
00:42:36What?
00:42:38I pull up
00:42:39Mina's social media
00:42:40account in front of her.
00:42:41The screen is full
00:42:42of expensive anime figurines.
00:42:44Could you please
00:42:44explain the prices
00:42:45of these limited edition figures?
00:42:48One figurine costs enough
00:42:49to feed an ordinary family
00:42:51for three months.
00:42:52I, I, I...
00:42:53No one feels sorry
00:42:54for Mina's breakdown.
00:42:56People who lie
00:42:57do not deserve sympathy.
00:43:01You can be poor,
00:43:03but you cannot lie.
00:43:07Mina is asked
00:43:08to withdraw from school.
00:43:10The day she leaves,
00:43:11no one sees hair off.
00:43:12No one wants to be friends
00:43:13with a liar.
00:43:21Useless.
00:43:23One pawn gone
00:43:24just like that.
00:43:26Damn Alice.
00:43:34One day,
00:43:35I receive a call
00:43:36from Dami.
00:43:38Mom,
00:43:39I bought you a villa.
00:43:40It is right near the school.
00:43:48She can live
00:43:49in the school dormitory.
00:43:50Why does she need
00:43:51a villa?
00:43:52It is my money.
00:43:54I can spend it
00:43:54on whoever I want.
00:43:57Are you just going
00:43:58to stand there
00:43:59and watch your father
00:44:00do this?
00:44:06I,
00:44:08I think that woman
00:44:09will drain the right group
00:44:11dry sooner or later.
00:44:12Michael says nothing.
00:44:13He is not sure
00:44:14how he feels about me either.
00:44:15I saved his father,
00:44:16but my appearance
00:44:17has turned everything
00:44:18upside down for them.
00:44:21because of your arrival,
00:44:22all hell
00:44:23is breaking loose
00:44:23at home.
00:44:28I know,
00:44:30but I will not
00:44:31back down
00:44:39because they are
00:44:40my descendants.
00:44:48I move into the villa
00:44:49Damien bought for me.
00:44:51Modern minimalist style.
00:44:53Very quiet.
00:44:55Very clean.
00:44:57It is the way
00:44:58I like it.
00:45:04I have just settled in
00:45:06when I notice a figure
00:45:07by the window
00:45:07of the villa
00:45:08across from mine.
00:45:09I focus my gaze.
00:45:11That person's profile
00:45:12looks exactly like someone.
00:45:14But the next second,
00:45:15the figure is gone.
00:45:17Is that my imagination?
00:45:19I open my computer
00:45:21and search for
00:45:22Bowen Morris.
00:45:25That impossibly handsome face
00:45:27appears on the screen.
00:45:31My fingertip stops
00:45:33on the screen.
00:45:34Is this man
00:45:35really Damien's father
00:45:36or not?
00:45:40Just then,
00:45:41I receive a call
00:45:42from Danny.
00:45:47He is in trouble.
00:45:49Mom,
00:45:50the LR group's
00:45:50new drug
00:45:51is about to hit
00:45:52the market.
00:45:52If they succeed,
00:45:54our pharmaceutical business
00:45:55will be severely impacted.
00:45:57Bowen Morris.
00:45:59Mom,
00:46:00is he really
00:46:02my father?
00:46:03I do not answer
00:46:05him immediately
00:46:05because I have not
00:46:06confirmed it in person yet.
00:46:08I cannot be sure
00:46:08if he really is
00:46:09Damien's father.
00:46:10I cannot be sure yet.
00:46:12But I will find out.
00:46:14If he really is,
00:46:16why is he going
00:46:17after the right group?
00:46:18I do not know.
00:46:22But I will find
00:46:23the answer.
00:46:25I hang up.
00:46:26Outside the window,
00:46:27the villa across
00:46:28from mine
00:46:28is completely dark.
00:46:30Bowen Morris,
00:46:30who exactly are you?
00:46:33Just as I am thinking
00:46:34about how to meet
00:46:35Bowen Morris,
00:46:35an opportunity arrives.
00:46:38He is coming
00:46:39to give a lecture
00:46:40at our school.
00:46:41Posters are plastered
00:46:42all over campus.
00:46:44The students go crazy.
00:46:46He is super handsome
00:46:48and still single.
00:46:54I am going.
00:46:55No one stop me.
00:46:57I find the vice president.
00:46:59I need a front row ticket.
00:47:02The front row
00:47:03is reserved for VIPs.
00:47:11I do not speak.
00:47:12I just look at him quietly.
00:47:16In the end,
00:47:17he agrees.
00:47:20All right.
00:47:22Leave this to me.
00:47:23I will arrange it.
00:47:26On the day of the lecture,
00:47:27I sit in the front row.
00:47:31Amid the cheers
00:47:32of the students,
00:47:33Bowen walks onto the stage.
00:47:35He looks exactly the same
00:47:37as in my memory,
00:47:38without any change.
00:47:40When I look at him,
00:47:41he also looks at me.
00:47:44He looks at me.
00:47:49Time seems to stand still
00:47:51in this moment.
00:47:53This moment is very brief,
00:47:54but it also feels very long.
00:47:59Bowen shifts his gaze away
00:48:01and walks to the podium.
00:48:05His voice is deep and powerful.
00:48:07Every move he makes
00:48:08radiates a composure
00:48:09that does not match his age.
00:48:12I stare at the tiny dark Mo
00:48:14at the corner of his eye.
00:48:16The future of biotechnology
00:48:18lies in our understanding
00:48:20of the essence of life.
00:48:23It looks exactly the same
00:48:25as in my memory.
00:48:36The lecture ends
00:48:38amid the cheers
00:48:38of the students.
00:48:41Bowen leaves
00:48:42surrounded by bodyguards.
00:48:47I stand up
00:48:48to chase after him,
00:48:48but I am blocked
00:48:49by his bodyguards.
00:49:01Just as I turn around,
00:49:02my phone buzzes.
00:49:04A message
00:49:04from an unknown number.
00:49:05Alice Wright,
00:49:06I have long admired you.
00:49:15The message is from Bowen,
00:49:16but he has already
00:49:17disappeared into the crowd.
00:49:21Looking at the message
00:49:23on my phone,
00:49:24a question arises in my mind.
00:49:29How does he know my name?
00:49:32With confusion in my heart,
00:49:34I leave the auditorium.
00:49:40But I hear Wesson's voice
00:49:42at the stairwell corner.
00:49:43He is on the phone.
00:49:45You finally took the initiative
00:49:46to contact me.
00:49:49I need you to help me
00:49:50look into someone.
00:49:52Who?
00:49:54Bowen Morris.
00:49:56Why are you looking into him?
00:49:58None of your business.
00:50:06Wesson hangs up,
00:50:07looks around vigilantly,
00:50:08and leaves only
00:50:09after confirming
00:50:10no one is there.
00:50:11But he does not notice me.
00:50:15I stand at the corner,
00:50:16my brows furrowed.
00:50:18Why is Wesson
00:50:19investigating Bowen?
00:50:26I decide not to
00:50:27confront Wesson for now.
00:50:30I want to see what he is
00:50:31really trying to do.
00:50:36Wesson has changed.
00:50:37He starts to become studious,
00:50:40He starts to become studious,
00:50:41asking me questions
00:50:41from time to time.
00:50:43He has transformed
00:50:44from a problem student
00:50:46into a good student.
00:50:53However,
00:50:54this makes Nina,
00:50:55who likes Wesson,
00:50:56very unhappy.
00:50:58One day,
00:50:59Nina finds Wesson.
00:51:01I have invited
00:51:01several university professors
00:51:02to come to my house
00:51:03for tutoring.
00:51:04Do you want to come?
00:51:05Nina pushes the professor's
00:51:07resumes in front of Wesson.
00:51:08Look at these professors'
00:51:09credentials.
00:51:10They are all
00:51:11top scholars.
00:51:12Okay.
00:51:13Really?
00:51:14That is great!
00:51:16The news reaches
00:51:17Sally's ears.
00:51:20Wesson will not go.
00:51:21He will not go.
00:51:24She resents
00:51:25because she also
00:51:26likes Wesson,
00:51:27but she knows
00:51:28that Wesson went
00:51:28because she does not
00:51:30have the money
00:51:30to hire professors.
00:51:32Sally stands
00:51:32in the hallway,
00:51:33watching Wesson
00:51:34and Nina leave together.
00:51:36I will not lose.
00:51:37I will not lose
00:51:39to a rich idiot.
00:51:40Her fingernails
00:51:40dig into her palm.
00:51:44Blood seeps out.
00:51:47She does not feel it.
00:51:53Wesson arrives
00:51:54at Nina's mansion.
00:51:58The living room
00:52:00is bigger than
00:52:00the school auditorium.
00:52:02Nina nestles
00:52:03very intimately
00:52:04neck to Wesson.
00:52:05I do not understand
00:52:07this problem.
00:52:09Can you teach me?
00:52:13Wesson frowns.
00:52:15He came here
00:52:16to listen to
00:52:17the professor's lecture,
00:52:18not to teach Nina.
00:52:24Do you not have
00:52:25your own professors?
00:52:29Wesson,
00:52:31I want you
00:52:32to teach me.
00:52:37If you invited me
00:52:38to your house
00:52:39to start something
00:52:40with me,
00:52:40then you will
00:52:41be disappointed.
00:52:45Wesson,
00:52:46do not understand.
00:52:47I will study
00:52:48seriously.
00:52:49Do not go.
00:52:52Wesson pays
00:52:52no attention
00:52:53to Nina's coaxing.
00:52:55Instead,
00:52:55he pushes her
00:52:56away with disgust.
00:53:02Wesson leaves.
00:53:04Janus walks
00:53:05into the room
00:53:05and leans
00:53:06close to Nina.
00:53:08You will never
00:53:08catch him
00:53:09like this.
00:53:18Then what should
00:53:19I do?
00:53:20You need to
00:53:21get rid of
00:53:22the woman
00:53:22next to him
00:53:23first.
00:53:26Alice?
00:53:28Yes,
00:53:29Alice.
00:53:35I receive
00:53:36a mysterious
00:53:36invitation.
00:53:37Inside the envelope
00:53:39is just a card.
00:53:40On it is an
00:53:41address and a
00:53:42time.
00:53:42No signature.
00:53:44Although there
00:53:45is no name on it,
00:53:46I know it is
00:53:47from Bowen.
00:53:48I hesitate
00:53:49all night.
00:53:51Go
00:53:51or not go.
00:53:54If Bowen
00:53:54really is that
00:53:55man,
00:53:56how should I
00:53:57face him?
00:53:57What if I
00:53:58am wrong?
00:54:03In the end,
00:54:05I grab my
00:54:06coat and walk
00:54:07out the door.
00:54:12The car pulls
00:54:13up to the
00:54:14restaurant.
00:54:17I see Bowen
00:54:19is already
00:54:19sitting inside.
00:54:22I walk
00:54:23into the
00:54:23restaurant.
00:54:25Bowen waves
00:54:26to me.
00:54:27I go to
00:54:28the table.
00:54:29He looks up,
00:54:31smiles at me,
00:54:32and stands up
00:54:33very gentlemanly.
00:54:34Please sit,
00:54:35Alice.
00:54:38I nod
00:54:39to him.
00:54:45his voice
00:54:46sounds again.
00:54:48Or rather,
00:54:50should I
00:54:51call you
00:54:53Demi's
00:54:54mother?
00:54:58The first
00:54:59words Bowen
00:55:00Morris speaks
00:55:01make my heart
00:55:01skip a beat.
00:55:04Do you know
00:55:06me?
00:55:07I am
00:55:07completely
00:55:08frozen in
00:55:08place.
00:55:09I've always
00:55:10known you.
00:55:11One hundred
00:55:11years ago,
00:55:12you saved my
00:55:13life.
00:55:13You probably
00:55:14do not
00:55:15remember.
00:55:15My pupils
00:55:16contract.
00:55:17I saved him
00:55:18one hundred
00:55:19years ago?
00:55:19But he
00:55:20looks so
00:55:20young.
00:55:21That means
00:55:22he,
00:55:22like me,
00:55:23has existed
00:55:24for over a
00:55:24century.
00:55:25I went by
00:55:26another name
00:55:26back then.
00:55:27The war,
00:55:28the front lines,
00:55:29you treated
00:55:29my wounds.
00:55:30Bowen continues
00:55:31to recount
00:55:32details from
00:55:33over a hundred
00:55:33years ago.
00:55:34I listen
00:55:35quietly.
00:55:36Old memories
00:55:37appear in
00:55:37my mind.
00:55:44You are
00:55:45that soldier?
00:55:48Yes.
00:55:50I pick up
00:55:51the wine glass
00:55:51in front of
00:55:52me to take
00:55:52a sip and
00:55:53calm my
00:55:54nerves.
00:55:56Just then,
00:55:57his voice
00:55:57continues.
00:55:59And I also
00:56:00know that
00:56:01Damien is
00:56:01my son.
00:56:02My hand
00:56:03trembles.
00:56:04Wine sloshes
00:56:05out of my
00:56:05glass.
00:56:06My gaze
00:56:07locks onto
00:56:08his 27-year-old
00:56:09face.
00:56:10But I know
00:56:11he is already
00:56:13over a hundred
00:56:14years old.
00:56:15After that
00:56:16night, I was
00:56:17transferred away.
00:56:19When I came
00:56:20back to find
00:56:20you, you had
00:56:21already disappeared.
00:56:22I listened
00:56:23quietly.
00:56:24In the face
00:56:24of war, an
00:56:25individual's power
00:56:26is too
00:56:27insignificant.
00:56:28I thought
00:56:28you were
00:56:28dead.
00:56:32Until a few
00:56:33years ago, I
00:56:34discovered that
00:56:34the founder of
00:56:35the Wright
00:56:35group was
00:56:36named Damien
00:56:36Wright.
00:56:39I checked
00:56:40his DNA.
00:56:41He is my
00:56:42son.
00:56:44I can't
00:56:45believe what
00:56:45I'm hearing.
00:56:49Since you
00:56:50have existed
00:56:50for over a
00:56:51hundred years,
00:56:53why do you
00:56:53still look so
00:56:54young?
00:56:54I guess that
00:56:56like me, he
00:56:57fell into a
00:56:57deep sleep for
00:56:58some special
00:56:58reason.
00:56:59But that is
00:57:00not the case.
00:57:01I traveled
00:57:01through time.
00:57:03What?
00:57:04Time travel?
00:57:08I listened
00:57:08to this news
00:57:09in shock.
00:57:10It sounds
00:57:11even more
00:57:11bizarre than
00:57:12my own
00:57:12experience.
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:15I do not
00:57:16know how it
00:57:17happened.
00:57:22But I was
00:57:22thrown one
00:57:23hundred years
00:57:24into the
00:57:24future.
00:57:24Then why
00:57:25did you not
00:57:26come to
00:57:26find Damien?
00:57:29Do you
00:57:30know how
00:57:30much he
00:57:31longs for
00:57:32his father
00:57:32to be by
00:57:33his side?
00:57:33He is
00:57:34silent for
00:57:34a very
00:57:35long time.
00:57:43I know,
00:57:44but I
00:57:44cannot.
00:57:46You
00:57:46cannot?
00:57:47Why?
00:57:50My heart
00:57:51is full of
00:57:51confusion.
00:57:53Does he
00:57:53have some
00:57:54hidden
00:57:54difficulty?
00:57:56It is not
00:57:57that I do
00:57:57not want to
00:57:58acknowledge
00:57:58him.
00:58:00But if I
00:58:00acknowledge
00:58:01him, he
00:58:01might be
00:58:01in big
00:58:02trouble.
00:58:06Big
00:58:06trouble?
00:58:07What do
00:58:07you mean?
00:58:08On the
00:58:08surface, the
00:58:09LR group is
00:58:10managed by
00:58:10me.
00:58:11But behind
00:58:12it, there
00:58:13is a massive
00:58:13power.
00:58:14If I admit
00:58:15that Damien is
00:58:15my son,
00:58:17they will move
00:58:17against the
00:58:18right group.
00:58:22What power?
00:58:25I cannot
00:58:26tell you
00:58:26yet.
00:58:27But trust
00:58:28me, not
00:58:30acknowledging
00:58:30him is to
00:58:31protect him.
00:58:32I do not
00:58:33know whether
00:58:33what he says
00:58:34is true or
00:58:35false.
00:58:37But I cannot
00:58:38accept that the
00:58:38father of my
00:58:39child watches
00:58:40his child from
00:58:40afar but does
00:58:41not acknowledge
00:58:42him.
00:58:43In 100
00:58:44years, you
00:58:45only learn to
00:58:45run away.
00:58:46I stand
00:58:47up.
00:58:49I turn and
00:58:51leave.
00:58:52He watches
00:58:53my back and
00:58:54says one
00:58:54thing quietly.
00:58:58Alice, one
00:58:59day you
00:59:00will understand.
00:59:02One day,
00:59:03Ruby finds
00:59:04Bruce.
00:59:04She is
00:59:05unwilling to
00:59:05be neglected.
00:59:09Your father
00:59:10has lost his
00:59:11mind.
00:59:11He wants
00:59:12to give the
00:59:13company to
00:59:13that woman of
00:59:14unknown origin.
00:59:17You are his
00:59:18son.
00:59:19You are the
00:59:19one who should
00:59:20inherit the
00:59:21right group.
00:59:22But father has
00:59:23clearly stated that
00:59:24the company's
00:59:25shares have
00:59:25already been
00:59:25transferred to
00:59:26her.
00:59:27That's just
00:59:27words.
00:59:28Legally speaking,
00:59:29as long as he
00:59:30hasn't officially
00:59:31signed the final
00:59:32documents, there's
00:59:32still a chance.
00:59:33Are you saying
00:59:34you want me to
00:59:35fight him for
00:59:36it?
00:59:36No, it's not
00:59:37about fighting.
00:59:38It's about taking
00:59:39back what belongs
00:59:40to you.
00:59:42But what are you
00:59:43afraid of?
00:59:44Your father's
00:59:45health is failing.
00:59:46He does not
00:59:47have much longer
00:59:47to live.
00:59:48After he dies,
00:59:49who will that
00:59:49woman have to
00:59:50rely on?
00:59:52I need time to
00:59:53think it over.
00:59:54There isn't much
00:59:54time.
00:59:55Your father's
00:59:55health won't
00:59:56hold out much
00:59:56longer.
00:59:58Bruce's eyes
00:59:58change.
00:59:59He knows Ruby
01:00:00is telling the
01:00:01truth.
01:00:01In the face of
01:00:02profit, so-called
01:00:03family affection
01:00:04becomes as fragile
01:00:05as paper.
01:00:07He begins
01:00:08secretly contacting
01:00:09board members,
01:00:10preparing to
01:00:11seize power.
01:00:13He contacts
01:00:14board members
01:00:15day and night.
01:00:16He reaches out
01:00:16to every single
01:00:17member on the
01:00:18list.
01:00:19Michael notices
01:00:20Bruce's unusual
01:00:21movements, but he
01:00:22chooses to remain
01:00:23silent.
01:00:24Bruce, you're still
01:00:26too impatient.
01:00:27You two have your
01:00:29fight.
01:00:29I'll wait for the
01:00:30last card to fall.
01:00:37He is waiting
01:00:38to see who
01:00:39will win.
01:00:40He plans to
01:00:41reap the benefits
01:00:41without doing
01:00:42any work.
01:00:47Compared to
01:00:48Bruce's power
01:00:48grab, the
01:00:49right group
01:00:50faces an even
01:00:51bigger problem.
01:00:52The LR group
01:00:53suddenly announces
01:00:54it is acquiring
01:00:55shares of the
01:00:55right group.
01:00:56The market
01:00:57trembles.
01:00:58I receive a
01:00:59call from
01:00:59Damie.
01:01:05His tone
01:01:06is very
01:01:06anxious.
01:01:08Mom, the
01:01:09LR group is
01:01:10making a hostile
01:01:10takeover of our
01:01:11shares.
01:01:12I know.
01:01:13Bowen told
01:01:14me.
01:01:15What?
01:01:16Bowen?
01:01:17You met
01:01:18him?
01:01:20What does he
01:01:21really want?
01:01:22I am silent
01:01:23for a moment.
01:01:23I take a deep
01:01:24breath, muster
01:01:25up all my
01:01:26courage and say,
01:01:27he is protecting
01:01:28you.
01:01:29I do not tell
01:01:30him that Bowen
01:01:31is his father.
01:01:31I plan to
01:01:32figure everything
01:01:33out first before
01:01:34telling him.
01:01:35This is called
01:01:36protecting me?
01:01:37He is destroying
01:01:38the life's work
01:01:39I built!
01:01:43I hang up.
01:01:45I dial Bowen's
01:01:46number.
01:01:47I cannot just
01:01:48watch Damie's
01:01:48company disappear
01:01:49like this.
01:01:50What are you
01:01:51really up to?
01:01:53I need an
01:01:54explanation.
01:01:55Damien is your
01:01:56child.
01:01:56Why are you
01:01:57treating him like
01:01:58this?
01:01:58Alice, calm down
01:01:59and listen
01:02:00to me.
01:02:01Please trust me.
01:02:02I am really
01:02:02helping him.
01:02:03Someone is using
01:02:03the company's
01:02:04money for
01:02:04illegal transactions.
01:02:06There is a mole
01:02:06inside the right
01:02:07group.
01:02:07If I do not
01:02:08act, when the
01:02:09government
01:02:09investigates,
01:02:10Damien will
01:02:11go to prison.
01:02:12Who?
01:02:14Bruce, he and
01:02:15Ruby are working
01:02:16together to drain
01:02:16the company
01:02:17dry.
01:02:18Hearing his
01:02:19explanation, I
01:02:20cannot help but
01:02:20clench my fists.
01:02:22I will never
01:02:22allow anyone to
01:02:23harm Damie.
01:02:25How do you
01:02:26know?
01:02:27Because my
01:02:28people have been
01:02:28secretly watching
01:02:29the right family.
01:02:30It turns out
01:02:31Bowen has not
01:02:32been ignoring
01:02:33Damie.
01:02:33He has been
01:02:34quietly helping
01:02:35him all along.
01:02:37I have a
01:02:38request.
01:02:40What request?
01:02:42I want to see
01:02:43our son.
01:02:46All right.
01:02:47I have no
01:02:48reason to refuse.
01:02:49He is the
01:02:50child's father.
01:02:51He has the
01:02:52right to see
01:02:52his child.
01:02:53I find Damien.
01:02:56Mom, have
01:02:57you seen
01:02:58Bowen?
01:02:58I have.
01:03:01Then he...
01:03:03He is your
01:03:04father.
01:03:07Mom, he
01:03:09really is my
01:03:09father?
01:03:11Yes, he is
01:03:13your biological
01:03:13father.
01:03:15He has
01:03:15actually been
01:03:16quietly watching
01:03:17over you, but
01:03:18for some reasons,
01:03:19he cannot
01:03:19acknowledge you.
01:03:21I tell Damien
01:03:22the truth.
01:03:23His father did
01:03:24not abandon
01:03:24him.
01:03:25He is
01:03:25protecting him.
01:03:28After hearing
01:03:29it, he is
01:03:29silent for a
01:03:30very long
01:03:31time.
01:03:32So for this
01:03:33entire hundred
01:03:34years, he has
01:03:34been watching
01:03:35over me in
01:03:36secret?
01:03:37He cannot
01:03:38acknowledge you
01:03:38publicly, but
01:03:39he has always
01:03:40been there.
01:03:41When I was
01:03:41bullied by
01:03:42relatives as
01:03:43a child, where
01:03:44was he?
01:03:45When I worked
01:03:46hungry, where
01:03:47was he?
01:03:48When I needed
01:03:48him the most, why
01:03:50could he not
01:03:51step forward?
01:03:52I know the
01:03:52pain and grievance
01:03:53in Damien's
01:03:54heart.
01:03:55I do not
01:03:55speak.
01:03:56I just hold
01:03:57him quietly.
01:03:59My child, he
01:04:00has his own
01:04:00difficulties, too.
01:04:02Damien wipes
01:04:03away his tears and
01:04:04looks at me, his
01:04:05eyes determined.
01:04:08Mom, I want to
01:04:09see him.
01:04:10With my
01:04:11arrangement, the
01:04:11two of them
01:04:12meet.
01:04:12A 107-year-old
01:04:14son meets his
01:04:15biological father
01:04:16for the first
01:04:16time, and the
01:04:17father looks only
01:04:1827.
01:04:20Bowen comes to
01:04:21Damien and gently
01:04:22holds his hand.
01:04:24I am sorry, Damien.
01:04:25I should have come
01:04:26to find you sooner.
01:04:28You are really
01:04:29my father?
01:04:30The room falls
01:04:31silent.
01:04:32Yes.
01:04:34But you look
01:04:35younger than I do.
01:04:37Then Bowen starts
01:04:38laughing, too.
01:04:39But as he laughs,
01:04:41tears begin to
01:04:41fall.
01:04:42No parent wants
01:04:43to see their
01:04:43child leave this
01:04:44world before them.
01:04:45Damien, now I
01:04:46need to tell you
01:04:47something.
01:04:49Mom, what is
01:04:50it?
01:04:53Bruce is draining
01:04:54your company dry.
01:04:57After I say this,
01:04:59Bruce and Ruby's
01:04:59faces instantly
01:05:00change.
01:05:01They did not
01:05:02expect that I
01:05:02already know
01:05:03everything.
01:05:04After I reveal
01:05:05the truth, the
01:05:06two of them
01:05:07start to argue
01:05:07frantically.
01:05:09Father, do not
01:05:11listen to her
01:05:11nonsense.
01:05:12I did not.
01:05:14What is this
01:05:15crazy woman
01:05:16saying?
01:05:17Shut up!
01:05:19Do not think
01:05:20no one knows
01:05:21what you have
01:05:21done.
01:05:22Here is all
01:05:24the evidence
01:05:24against you.
01:05:25Bruce takes
01:05:26out a USB
01:05:27drive.
01:05:27Inside it
01:05:28records all
01:05:29of their
01:05:29conspiracies.
01:05:30Bruce, it is
01:05:31all you.
01:05:33You did all
01:05:34of this.
01:05:36You colluded
01:05:37with outsiders
01:05:38to swallow the
01:05:39right group.
01:05:41You think after
01:05:42your father dies,
01:05:43everything will
01:05:44be yours?
01:05:45Did you not
01:05:45tell me to do
01:05:46all of this?
01:05:47I may hate
01:05:48that woman, but
01:05:49I hate those
01:05:50who betray this
01:05:50family even
01:05:51more.
01:05:54Bruce, you
01:05:55have deeply
01:05:55disappointed me.
01:05:57At this moment,
01:05:59no one speaks
01:05:59for him.
01:06:00everyone is
01:06:01kicking him
01:06:01when he is
01:06:02down.
01:06:03Bruce is
01:06:03expelled from
01:06:04the family.
01:06:05As he leaves,
01:06:06he looks back
01:06:06at me.
01:06:07You will
01:06:08regret this.
01:06:10After the dust
01:06:11settles, Damien
01:06:12calls me to his
01:06:13side.
01:06:14Mom, I want
01:06:15to retire.
01:06:19I am at ease
01:06:20leaving the right
01:06:20group in your
01:06:21hands.
01:06:22I do not need
01:06:23your company.
01:06:24What I want
01:06:25is for you to
01:06:25live well.
01:06:28I will.
01:06:31because you
01:06:32came back.
01:06:34Outside the
01:06:35window, the
01:06:36sunlight is just
01:06:37right.
01:06:38The ginkgo trees
01:06:39in the century-old
01:06:40estate are golden.
01:06:41I stand by the
01:06:42window, looking at
01:06:43this world I left
01:06:44100 years ago.
01:06:46Everything is
01:06:46changing, but
01:06:47some things never
01:06:48change.
01:06:49What I do not
01:06:50know is that
01:06:51Wesson is standing
01:06:52at the classroom
01:06:52door right now,
01:06:54looking at my
01:06:55empty seat, lost
01:06:57in thought.
01:07:00Sally realizes
01:07:01that her status
01:07:02as the school
01:07:03beauty has been
01:07:03completely replaced
01:07:04by me.
01:07:05She decides to
01:07:07destroy me.
01:07:09Anonymous posts
01:07:10suddenly appear on
01:07:11the school forum.
01:07:12They say I got
01:07:13into the school
01:07:14through special
01:07:14connections.
01:07:15They say I have
01:07:16been involved with
01:07:17multiple wealthy
01:07:18men.
01:07:19The posts come
01:07:20with photos, with
01:07:21evidence, written
01:07:22convincingly.
01:07:23Did you see
01:07:24that?
01:07:25That transfer
01:07:26student, Alice?
01:07:27So she is that
01:07:28kind of person.
01:07:29I knew she could
01:07:30not be that clean.
01:07:31Pretty and smart.
01:07:33How could that
01:07:33be?
01:07:36It must be
01:07:37Sally.
01:07:38Who else hates
01:07:39you this much?
01:07:40Let her post.
01:07:41The innocent have
01:07:42nothing to fear.
01:07:43You are just
01:07:44going to let it
01:07:44go?
01:07:44They are ruining
01:07:45your reputation.
01:07:47No one will
01:07:47listen if I explain
01:07:48now.
01:07:49The truth is most
01:07:50powerful when it
01:07:50surfaces on its own.
01:07:52I calmly look at
01:07:54those posts.
01:07:55But I know there
01:07:56is a deeper
01:07:57conspiracy behind
01:07:58this attack.
01:07:59Sally alone could
01:08:00not fabricate such
01:08:01convincing posts.
01:08:03Someone is behind
01:08:04her.
01:08:05The truth is just
01:08:06as I thought.
01:08:07A message arrives
01:08:08on Sally's phone.
01:08:09Her finger pauses
01:08:10on the screen for
01:08:11a moment.
01:08:12Good work.
01:08:13Next step.
01:08:14Destroy her
01:08:14reputation.
01:08:15Then she types
01:08:16one word.
01:08:17Received.
01:08:19Alice.
01:08:20Wait and see.
01:08:22Wesson uses his
01:08:23hacking skills to
01:08:24trace the IP
01:08:25address of the
01:08:25poster.
01:08:26It points directly
01:08:27to Sally's
01:08:28computer.
01:08:33Wesson slams the
01:08:34evidence down in
01:08:35front of Sally.
01:08:36Facing the
01:08:37evidence, Sally is
01:08:38completely speechless.
01:08:40What do you have
01:08:41to say for
01:08:42yourself now?
01:08:44You...
01:08:46You hacked my
01:08:47computer for her?
01:08:49I am just using
01:08:50the same methods
01:08:51you use against
01:08:52others against
01:08:52you.
01:08:57You were not
01:08:58like this before.
01:09:05You used to be
01:09:07so kind to me.
01:09:09I was kind to you?
01:09:11When?
01:09:12Do you really
01:09:13not remember?
01:09:13When we were
01:09:14children?
01:09:15We met!
01:09:16I do not
01:09:18remember.
01:09:20Of course you
01:09:21are the young
01:09:21master.
01:09:22Why would you
01:09:23remember a poor
01:09:24girl?
01:09:25I stand in the
01:09:26distance watching
01:09:27this scene.
01:09:29Sally is crying,
01:09:31but her tears are
01:09:31not remorse.
01:09:33They are
01:09:34resentment.
01:09:35A woman's
01:09:36jealousy is sharper
01:09:37than any blade.
01:09:39Wesson and Sally
01:09:40met when they
01:09:41were children?
01:09:42This makes me a
01:09:43little surprised.
01:09:44After all,
01:09:45their social
01:09:46statuses are
01:09:47worlds apart.
01:09:48When I was
01:09:49little, I lived
01:09:50in a small town.
01:09:51Your grandmother
01:09:52once sponsored
01:09:53our school.
01:09:54You came to
01:09:55visit us and
01:09:55even gave me a
01:09:56gift.
01:09:57I do not
01:09:58remember.
01:10:02Of course you
01:10:03are the young
01:10:04master.
01:10:05Why would you
01:10:05remember a poor
01:10:06girl?
01:10:06Anything else?
01:10:08Sally's eyes are
01:10:09filled with
01:10:10nostalgia, but
01:10:11that nostalgia is
01:10:12not love.
01:10:13It is obsession.
01:10:15What she remembers
01:10:16is not Wesson the
01:10:17person, but the
01:10:18world she desperately
01:10:19wants to break
01:10:20into, but has
01:10:21always been shut
01:10:22out of.
01:10:25I find Wesson.
01:10:32Who is your
01:10:33grandmother?
01:10:35He wants to
01:10:36speak, but
01:10:36hesitates.
01:10:38Finally, he
01:10:39falls silent.
01:10:41Wesson finally
01:10:42speaks about the
01:10:43family he never
01:10:44mentions.
01:10:45My grandmother
01:10:45is Ruby Wright.
01:10:47His grandmother
01:10:48is Ruby.
01:10:49I freeze.
01:10:50Wesson is
01:10:51Damien's grandson?
01:10:53Then I am his
01:10:54great-grandmother?
01:10:56This teenager in a
01:10:57school uniform who
01:10:58fights and never
01:10:59studies is my
01:11:00grandson's son?
01:11:02Wesson is silent
01:11:03for a moment,
01:11:04then speaks again.
01:11:07But I never liked
01:11:08that family since I
01:11:09was little.
01:11:09They only care about
01:11:10money, only about
01:11:10status, so I ran
01:11:12away from home.
01:11:13I changed the
01:11:13spelling of my last
01:11:14name so they could
01:11:15not find me.
01:11:17I look at Wesson.
01:11:18I only feel pain for
01:11:20him.
01:11:22How disappointed
01:11:23must a child be to
01:11:24leave his own home?
01:11:26That cold,
01:11:27Hippocratical home was
01:11:28never somewhere I
01:11:28wanted to stay.
01:11:30Do you know what
01:11:32relation you are to
01:11:33me?
01:11:35We're just ordinary
01:11:37classmates.
01:11:38What other connection
01:11:39could there be?
01:11:40Yes, we are just
01:11:41classmates.
01:11:42I do not answer
01:11:43directly.
01:11:44I want him to come
01:11:45to terms with it
01:11:45slowly on his own.
01:11:47From classmate to
01:11:48great-grandson, that
01:11:49is a big leap.
01:11:50It will take him
01:11:51some time to digest.
01:11:53Wesson learns my
01:11:54true identity.
01:11:56Wesson sits on the
01:11:57steps, holding his
01:11:58head, finding it
01:11:59hard to accept this
01:12:00fact.
01:12:02So the reason you
01:12:04have always treated
01:12:04me like a child is
01:12:06because you really
01:12:07are my elder?
01:12:08Yes.
01:12:12Then everything I
01:12:13said to you before,
01:12:15everything I did...
01:12:20You are a good
01:12:21kid.
01:12:22You just took the
01:12:24wrong path.
01:12:27Can you still keep
01:12:29teaching me?
01:12:30Of course.
01:12:31You are my great
01:12:32grandson.
01:12:33If I do not teach
01:12:33you, who will?
01:12:40In the distance,
01:12:41Sally sees this
01:12:42scene.
01:12:43There is no envy in
01:12:44her eyes, only
01:12:46hatred.
01:12:47Deeper hatred.
01:12:48She cannot have
01:12:49Wesson, yet
01:12:50Wesson follows me
01:12:51around like a
01:12:52little dog.
01:12:53She does not
01:12:54understand why.
01:12:55She never will.
01:13:00Esther comes to
01:13:01find me.
01:13:04She kneels in
01:13:05front of me.
01:13:08Please teach me.
01:13:13Get up.
01:13:14Do not kneel.
01:13:17I know I was
01:13:18wrong before, but I
01:13:21truly want to
01:13:22change.
01:13:22I look at Esther.
01:13:24Her eyes are red
01:13:25from crying, tear
01:13:26stains still fresh
01:13:27on her face.
01:13:28She is not putting
01:13:30on an act.
01:13:31She is truly at the
01:13:32end of her rope.
01:13:34Sally does not want
01:13:35her anymore.
01:13:36The elite class does
01:13:37not want her anymore.
01:13:38She is alone, with
01:13:40nowhere to go.
01:13:41So she comes to
01:13:42me.
01:13:43She kneels in
01:13:44front of me and
01:13:45begs me to teach
01:13:46her.
01:13:46Are you sure?
01:13:48This path is not
01:13:50easy.
01:13:50She nods firmly.
01:13:52She looks at me with
01:13:53something I have never
01:13:54seen in her eyes
01:13:55before.
01:13:56It is determination.
01:13:58I am sure.
01:13:59I cannot keep
01:14:01following Sally
01:14:02anymore.
01:14:03I do not want to
01:14:05live in someone
01:14:05else's shadow for
01:14:06the rest of my
01:14:07life.
01:14:08There are no
01:14:09shortcuts here, and
01:14:11I won't go easy on
01:14:12you.
01:14:16I pick up a
01:14:16notebook from my
01:14:17desk and hand it
01:14:18to her.
01:14:19From today on, you
01:14:20are my student.
01:14:21Some people have to
01:14:22hit the wall many
01:14:23times before they
01:14:24turn back.
01:14:27Thank you,
01:14:28Alice.
01:14:29Esther is lucky.
01:14:31When she turned
01:14:32back, someone was
01:14:33still there waiting
01:14:34for her.
01:14:35Not everyone has
01:14:36that kind of
01:14:37luck.
01:14:37Sally discovers
01:14:38that Esther has
01:14:39defected.
01:14:40She is so angry,
01:14:42she throws her
01:14:42phone against the
01:14:43wall.
01:14:44The screen shatters,
01:14:45but she does not
01:14:46care.
01:14:47Her pawns, one by
01:14:48one, are all gone.
01:14:50The midterm exam
01:14:51arrives.
01:14:52This is my class's
01:14:54last chance to prove
01:14:55themselves.
01:14:56They definitely cheated
01:14:57on the monthly exam
01:14:58last time.
01:14:58This time there are
01:14:59signal jammers.
01:15:00Let us see how they
01:15:01do now.
01:15:02Just wait and laugh.
01:15:03What good results
01:15:05could Alice's class
01:15:06possibly get?
01:15:08I walk into the
01:15:09exam hall as calm as
01:15:10if I were taking a
01:15:11stroll.
01:15:12Wesson sits next to
01:15:13me and takes a deep
01:15:14breath.
01:15:14Alice, if I do well,
01:15:16will you be proud of
01:15:17me?
01:15:18You are taking the
01:15:19exam for yourself,
01:15:20not for me.
01:15:21This time, he cannot
01:15:22embarrass me.
01:15:23The exam begins.
01:15:24The sound of pens
01:15:26scratching across
01:15:27paper fills the room.
01:15:30I hand in my paper
01:15:31early and walk out of
01:15:32the exam hall.
01:15:34The sunlight is
01:15:35beautiful.
01:15:36I lean against a
01:15:37pillar in the hallway,
01:15:38waiting for them to
01:15:39come out.
01:15:40Tomorrow the results
01:15:41will be out, then we
01:15:43just wait and laugh at
01:15:44Alice.
01:15:44Exactly.
01:15:45With signal jammers
01:15:46in place, how can she
01:15:47possibly cheat now?
01:15:48And handing in her
01:15:49paper early?
01:15:50I bet she just didn't
01:15:51know how to answer and
01:15:52left early.
01:15:55On the day the
01:15:57results are announced,
01:15:58the entire school
01:16:00gathers in the
01:16:01auditorium.
01:16:03Who will be
01:16:04number one?
01:16:06The results are
01:16:07out.
01:16:08The school's number
01:16:09one is not from the
01:16:10elite class.
01:16:21First place.
01:16:25Wesson Wright.
01:16:28He is stunned.
01:16:30Me?
01:16:32What?
01:16:33Wesson?
01:16:33That good for nothing
01:16:35Wesson?
01:16:35How is this possible?
01:16:39Alice, I make it.
01:16:43You deserved it,
01:16:44Wesson.
01:16:45Keep pushing forward.
01:16:46Please join us in
01:16:47welcoming Wesson to the
01:16:48stage to share his story.
01:16:55He walks up to the
01:16:56stage to accept the
01:16:57award.
01:16:59Facing the microphone,
01:17:00he says one thing.
01:17:02None of this would have
01:17:03been possible without
01:17:04someone's efforts.
01:17:05I want to thank someone.
01:17:08Without her, I would
01:17:09still be that last place
01:17:10loser.
01:17:13His gaze falls on me.
01:17:16Thank you, Alice.
01:17:30Thunderous applause erupts
01:17:32from the audience.
01:17:33Sally stands in the
01:17:34corner, biting her lip,
01:17:36her fingernails digging
01:17:37into her palm.
01:17:38She lost.
01:17:40Completely lost.
01:17:44Sally comes to find me.
01:17:46For the first time,
01:17:47she sets aside her
01:17:48pride.
01:17:54I lost.
01:17:56I am not as good as
01:17:57you.
01:17:59It is not that you are
01:18:00not as good as me.
01:18:01You lost to yourself.
01:18:06Maybe.
01:18:07She turns to leave.
01:18:09I stop her.
01:18:13Sally, wait!
01:18:15What's up?
01:18:19I signed your scholarship
01:18:20application for you.
01:18:27Why?
01:18:28Because you deserve a
01:18:29chance.
01:18:32Do not waste it.
01:18:36Her tears fall.
01:18:40You...
01:18:41Do you not hate me?
01:18:44Hating you is too
01:18:45exhausting.
01:18:46I do not have the time.
01:18:48This is the first time
01:18:49Sally cries sincerely.
01:18:51Not out of grievance,
01:18:53but because she finally
01:18:54understands that some
01:18:55things cannot be taken
01:18:56by force.
01:18:57Like respect.
01:18:59Like trust.
01:19:06The semester ends.
01:19:08The semester ends.
01:19:08I stand at the school
01:19:09gate, watching the sunset.
01:19:11The sky is orange-red,
01:19:13just like that night
01:19:14100 years ago.
01:19:17Bowen pulls up and
01:19:18stops in front of me.
01:19:24Get in.
01:19:25I am taking you to see
01:19:27something.
01:19:28Where?
01:19:30You will know when we
01:19:31get there.
01:19:40I get in the car.
01:19:41Bowen takes me to
01:19:42an ancient castle.
01:19:43It is the exact same
01:19:45castle I went to
01:19:46before I fell into
01:19:47my deep sleep.
01:19:51We're here.
01:19:52Let's get out.
01:19:54Let's get out.
01:20:02This is...
01:20:03This place is where
01:20:04you began your deep sleep.
01:20:05It is also why I was
01:20:06able to find you.
01:20:08I push the door open
01:20:09and walk inside.
01:20:10Deep inside the castle,
01:20:11there is a light.
01:20:12I do not know where
01:20:13it comes from.
01:20:14It just shines there.
01:20:16Do you want to know
01:20:17the truth?
01:20:20Follow me.
01:20:23I look back once.
01:20:25Outside the door
01:20:26is the sunset.
01:20:27Inside the door
01:20:28is the light.
01:20:29I take a deep breath
01:20:30and walk toward that
01:20:31light.
01:20:31One hundred years later,
01:20:33I stand before this
01:20:34door again.
01:20:35This time,
01:20:36I am taking back
01:20:37what belongs to me.
