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.
00:00:12The 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.
00:00:23I am the person Damien Wright has been waiting for. Let me in. I can save him.
00:00:27You? 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? Get lost!
00:00:55I kick the iron gate. Those thick, sturdy iron bars snap clean 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?
00:01:30But 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
00:01:44to 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.
00:01:59Who are you? Leave immediately. Do not disturb my father.
00:02:05You are Damien's son, aren't you? I am his mother.
00:02:12You should call me Grandmother. Let me see him. Perhaps I can still save him.
00:02:19What? You are my father's mother? My Grandmother?
00:02:24Father said Grandmother disappeared at 27. Even if she were alive, she would be over 120.
00:02:30She is obviously a fraud.
00:02:33Exactly. She looks even younger than us. There's no way she could be our Grandmother.
00:02:40I understand their doubt, but if they delay any longer, Damien will truly be beyond saving.
00:02:46His heart rate just spiked.
00:02:49He is responding to external stimulation.
00:02:53I walk quickly upstairs.
00:02:55Damien's door is half open.
00:02:57I see him.
00:03:08The little boy who once had thick black hair now lies there, about to die.
00:03:14Are 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.
00:03:33But her voice is what made Mr. Wright's heart rate spike just now.
00:03:37That talk about seeing his mother one last time is all lies.
00:03:41On 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.
00:04:09I've already said you can't come in.
00:04:11But suddenly, Damien's weak voice rings out.
00:04:15Come 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.
00:04:46She 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, break in.
00:04:58Drag her out.
00:04:59They think I am cutting blindly.
00:05:01But they do not know that I can see through his skull.
00:05:04I can see the tumor.
00:05:06Like an egg.
00:05:07Embedded deep in the brain tissue.
00:05:09I was once a world-renowned neurosurgeon.
00:05:13And now.
00:05:15My strength, my speed, my vision are not what a normal person should have.
00:05:22Wait.
00:05:23That insertion angle.
00:05:24It is perfect.
00:05:26She missed every major vessel.
00:05:27Her hematitis technique.
00:05:29I have never seen anything so precise.
00:05:32I clasp the tumor with delicate forceps.
00:05:35Hair-thin, neural strands cling to it, but they do not stop me.
00:05:38She did it.
00:05:40The tumor that the world's leading experts declared inoperable, she 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.
00:06:05The jagged line that represents life flattens into one straight line.
00:06:09Father is dead!
00:06:11She 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.
00:06:24Michael, what are you waiting for?
00:06:25If you will not kill her, I will.
00:06:30He fired a shot.
00:06:31A bullet flies straight at my head.
00:06:34I do not dodge.
00:06:37I reach out my hand and catch it.
00:06:40I crush the bullet in my palm.
00:06:42Silver dust spills through my fingers.
00:06:45What?
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.
00:06:52Open fire!
00:06:53I 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.
00:07:01A bullet grazes my cheek.
00:07:04The wounds appear and then heal completely in an instant.
00:07:11What kind of monster are you?
00:07:15I ignore Michael.
00:07:16I bend down to check Damien's vital signs.
00:07:20Suddenly, his finger twitches.
00:07:23Father's finger moved!
00:07:25Everyone's eyes focus on Damien.
00:07:27They rush over, push me aside, and gather around his bed.
00:07:32Father.
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.
00:07:43The heartbeat has returned.
00:07:45The surgery really succeeded.
00:07:48Father, you are finally awake.
00:07:55Mother.
00:07:57Damien murmurs softly.
00:07:59This makes everyone around the bed turn to look at me.
00:08:03But they do not believe I am Damien's mother.
00:08:07I 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.
00:08:24The 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?
00:08:40How 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.
00:09:00Mother.
00:09:01I missed you so much.
00:09:03Where did you go?
00:09:07I have been looking for you for a hundred years.
00:09:10I hold him gently in my arms.
00:09:16Damien, do not cry anymore.
00:09:18You 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 one hundred and seven years old,
00:09:32in front of you, I will always be a child.
00:09:38What are you standing there for?
00:09:40Greet your grandmother.
00:09:43Are you all mute?
00:09:46Grandmother?
00:09:52They cannot bring themselves to call a woman who looks the same age as their own children grandmother.
00:09:57I do not blame them.
00:10:00Damien, 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.
00:10:11As they walk out of the room, they keep looking back.
00:10:16Watching their one hundred and seven-year-old father nestle beside me like a child.
00:10:25Damien falls asleep.
00:10:26I tuck him in and walk out of the room.
00:10:30Downstairs, Michael zits in the living room, his expressions tangled with unease.
00:10:35I do not know how to face him.
00:10:38In theory, he is my grandson.
00:10:42But he is older than I look.
00:10:44Just as I hesitate, a face appears on the television.
00:10:48It is an honor to welcome everyone to the LR Group's new product launch.
00:10:53I freeze.
00:10:56I rush to the television, staring 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, the CEO of the LR Group.
00:11:17Do you know him?
00:11:19How old is he?
00:11:20From what I know, he just turned 27.
00:11:2327 years old.
00:11:25One hundred years ago, when I met that man, he was also 27.
00:11:29If it is really him, then he, like me, have existed for over a century.
00:11:33To confirm the relationship between Damien and me, we go to do a paternity test.
00:11:45Soon, the test results come out.
00:11:48Mr. Wright, the DNA test results are here.
00:11:52The 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 zero percent.
00:12:03So 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 percent genetic similarity.
00:12:28Zero percent means this young woman is not human.
00:12:33Everyone looks at me as if I am a monster.
00:12:38Not human?
00:12:42Then what is she?
00:12:44Do 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.
00:13:05One hundred years ago, I had an accident.
00:13:08When I woke up,
00:13:09I was no longer in the world I knew.
00:13:12But one thing I am certain of is 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 hundred-year absence.
00:13:23You still want to deceive us.
00:13:25Someone like you should be locked up in prison for life.
00:13:29Silence.
00:13:31Who 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,
00:13:45I will not let it go.
00:13:47Damien 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 one hundred 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 is my mother,
00:14:06Alice Wright.
00:14:10What did you say?
00:14:14Damien,
00:14:15are you really going to give the company to a woman of unknown origin?
00:14:18Father,
00:14:20this decision is too hasty.
00:14:22Even setting aside how unbelievable her age claim is,
00:14:26you should at least let us verify her identity.
00:14:31Without her,
00:14:32I would not exist.
00:14:34If she had been by my side all these years,
00:14:36this company would be a hundred times stronger than it is now.
00:14:40You have lost your mind!
00:14:42You have truly lost your mind!
00:14:45Damien,
00:14:46tell me,
00:14:47has this woman drugged you or something?
00:14:49I am perfectly clear-headed.
00:14:53If you cannot accept it,
00:14:55divorce me now and leave the Wright family immediately.
00:15:02I will kill you!
00:15:04Shameless woman!
00:15:05Ruby grabs a fruit knife from the table and charges at me.
00:15:09I do not dodge.
00:15:12Damien,
00:15:12I tolerated her because she stayed by your side for so many years,
00:15:16but she has closed that path herself.
00:15:19I snatch the knife from her hand and press the blade against her neck.
00:15:23You will be maimed under my sanction.
00:15:26You said I am a monster.
00:15:28So remember this.
00:15:30Do not come looking for death.
00:15:32Ruby,
00:15:34you dared to lay a hand on my mother.
00:15:37From now on,
00:15:38all your credit cards are cancelled.
00:15:41Find a quiet place and reflect on what you have done.
00:15:47Ruby collapses on the floor crying.
00:15:50No one in the Wright family dares to speak.
00:15:53Then,
00:15:54I remember something else.
00:15:57You said that man's name is Bowen Morris.
00:15:59Help me contact him.
00:16:00I have something extremely urgent to confirm.
00:16:03Your reaction when you saw him was very abnormal.
00:16:07What exactly is your relationship with him?
00:16:11I look at dark television screen.
00:16:13That face is still lingering in my mind.
00:16:17He is Demi's biological father.
00:16:20Everyone's eyes widen as they stare at me in shock.
00:16:26Mom,
00:16:26what did you say?
00:16:28It is also possible that he just looks like him.
00:16:33In any case,
00:16:34arrange a meeting between me and Bowen Morris as soon as possible.
00:16:37To confirm his identity,
00:16:39they contact Bowen Morris,
00:16:41but he refuses.
00:16:42At the same time,
00:16:43Damien arranges something for me.
00:16:44Enrollment at Weston University.
00:16:46He says it is the best university in the country.
00:16:49I need to adapt to this era quickly,
00:16:51and attending school is the best way.
00:16:59I do not know that someone I never expected is waiting for me at this school.
00:17:08I stand at the entrance of Weston University.
00:17:12One hundred years ago,
00:17:13I taught here.
00:17:15Now,
00:17:16I am a student.
00:17:18I am about to step inside,
00:17:20when a commotion breaks out to my right.
00:17:22Several boys in school uniforms
00:17:24push their way through,
00:17:26shoving all the students on the stairs aside.
00:17:30It is Weston Wright.
00:17:31Hurry,
00:17:32let us go.
00:17:34He is the tyrant of Weston.
00:17:37Someone challenged him last semester,
00:17:38and ended up in the hospital.
00:17:40A blonde young man walks over,
00:17:42his uniform jacket open.
00:17:45Arrogance radiates from every inch of him.
00:17:48What are you looking at?
00:17:49Do you not know how to get out of the way?
00:17:51Weston,
00:17:52this is for you.
00:17:53I have liked you since the first day of school.
00:17:57Get lost.
00:17:57He crushes the love letter into 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 dares to speak.
00:18:06Stop right there.
00:18:12You here to confess your 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,
00:18:27and then apologize.
00:18:28New student?
00:18:29Do you know who I am?
00:18:31Do you really think you can tell me what to do?
00:18:33Who you are does not matter.
00:18:35When someone offers you their sense feelings,
00:18:39you can reject them,
00:18:40but you have no right to trample on them.
00:18:43What if I do not pick it up?
00:18:47He reaches for my collar.
00:18:48I use just one move,
00:18:50grab his shoulder,
00:18:51and execute a shoulder throw.
00:18:55He flies several meters and crashes to the ground.
00:18:58The whole crowd falls silence.
00:19:03Wesson lies on the ground,
00:19:04staring at me in disbelief.
00:19:06His followers rush over and help him up.
00:19:09Bustot!
00:19:13You are dead!
00:19:16This is not over!
00:19:20Wesson leaves in disgrace.
00:19:25I pick up the love letter and give it back to the girl.
00:19:29Instead of thanking me,
00:19:30she glares at me.
00:19:39I shake my head.
00:19:40I really do not understand kids these days.
00:19:43Did you see that?
00:19:46I walk into the classroom
00:19:48and am assigned to the back corner.
00:19:50I am about to walk over
00:19:51when a basketball flies in through the back door,
00:19:53heading straight for my face.
00:19:56I swat the basketball away.
00:19:59The ball belongs to Wesson.
00:20:08He comes up to me and kicks my chair away.
00:20:16Did I allow you to sit here?
00:20:19Leave immediately.
00:20:21Wesson and his friends yell at me to change seats,
00:20:23but I do not care.
00:20:26The classroom is for studying.
00:20:27You are the ones who should change seats.
00:20:29Wesson,
00:20:30she is just like the others,
00:20:33just trying to get your attention.
00:20:35She 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.
00:20:46She actually told Wesson to get out?
00:20:48I have never seen anyone dare to talk to Wesson like that.
00:20:51Does she have a death wish?
00:20:55You have some nerve.
00:20:58I hope you can last more than two days sitting here.
00:21:11I am Corian.
00:21:13I saw what you did to Wesson in there.
00:21:15That was incredible.
00:21:17Do you know,
00:21:19people have started a betting pool.
00:21:23They are betting on how many days you can last sitting next to him.
00:21:28Everyone says Wesson is about to make his move.
00:21:31A bet on how many days I can last?
00:21:35Fine.
00:21:37I want to see who comes out on top.
00:21:48The next day,
00:21:50I post class rules next to the bulletin board.
00:21:53Greet the teacher?
00:21:55No unrelated activities during class?
00:21:58Alice,
00:21:58who do you think you are?
00:22:00Even the teacher does not dare to control us.
00:22:03What gives you the right?
00:22:06Do you really think these stupid class rules will turn us into good students?
00:22:10This class was given up on long ago.
00:22:13Studying or not studying makes no difference.
00:22:15Just because you do not want to study
00:22:16does not mean others do not want to either.
00:22:19Mr. Faulkner!
00:22:21Alice says she can lead our class to surpass the elite class,
00:22:24the number one class in the school.
00:22:26Alice,
00:22:27I appreciate your enthusiasm.
00:22:30To be honest,
00:22:31as long as our class does not end up in last place,
00:22:33I would already be grateful.
00:22:35What if I told you that it is possible?
00:22:38What are you saying?
00:22:40If I can raise the class's average score on the next monthly exam,
00:22:42you will lend me your faculty library card.
00:22:48Fine.
00:22:49If you can actually raise the class average,
00:22:51not only will I lend you the card,
00:22:53I will agree to any request you make.
00:22:56Wesson spins a basketball nearby,
00:22:59a mocking grin on his lips.
00:23:01Alice,
00:23:02do you really think you can save this class?
00:23:05Do you know how pathetic our class average is?
00:23:11Then let us revise our bet.
00:23:14What do you mean?
00:23:15If I raise the class's grades,
00:23:17from now on,
00:23:19everyone must follow the class rules.
00:23:21No causing trouble,
00:23:22no defiance.
00:23:24If I lose,
00:23:25then you voluntarily withdraw from school.
00:23:29Withdraw?
00:23:30But Alice is...
00:23:31It is a deal.
00:23:33What?
00:23:35Is she crazy?
00:23:37She wants to lead the worst class to surpass the elite class?
00:23:40She beat up Wesson as soon as she arrived,
00:23:42caused trouble,
00:23:42and now she wants to surpass the elite class?
00:23:44She must be insane.
00:23:46In just one morning,
00:23:47my name spreads throughout the entire school.
00:23:50Everyone is waiting to see me get expelled in disgrace.
00:23:54And trouble finds me very quickly.
00:23:57In the cafeteria,
00:23:59Corrine and I are eating.
00:24:03A group of people approach me.
00:24:05The leader is a girl with a very unfriendly look in her eyes.
00:24:13So you are Alice, right?
00:24:16What do you want?
00:24:18Nina has heard about you and wants to meet you.
00:24:21She is waiting for you in the small courtyard.
00:24:25Alice, they are Nina's people.
00:24:27Nina is the highest of the Thompson family.
00:24:29You need to be careful.
00:24:32The Thompson family.
00:24:34During the war,
00:24:35there was a boy with the Cernese Thompson.
00:24:37He was Dami's playmate.
00:24:38I wonder if he is related to this Nina.
00:24:43If you take one more step,
00:24:45I guarantee you will regret it.
00:24:47Offends the Thompson family,
00:24:48and you will not even know how you die.
00:24:52She waves the small knife in her hand at me.
00:24:55I grab her wrist.
00:24:58Twist it and shove.
00:25:00She flies through the air.
00:25:04You dare hit me?
00:25:06Just wait!
00:25:07The Thompson family will not let you get away with this!
00:25:12They flee in embarrassment.
00:25:14But I know they will not let this go.
00:25:20As I go upstairs,
00:25:22Wesson is leaning against the stairwell corner,
00:25:24as if he is waiting specifically for me.
00:25:28Did Nina cause trouble for you?
00:25:33Thanks to you?
00:25:34Nina has nothing to do with me.
00:25:37But she is targeting you because of me.
00:25:41I will handle this.
00:25:43You need my help.
00:25:44I do not need that.
00:25:45I refuse his help.
00:25:47I really want to see how the Thompson family will not let me off.
00:25:51In the classroom,
00:25:52my class rules have been posted for a week.
00:25:55No one follows them.
00:25:57Everyone laughs at me.
00:26:00Alice,
00:26:00even the teacher has given up on us.
00:26:03Why are you trying to play hero?
00:26:05Those stupid class rules of yours?
00:26:07Do you really think following them will get us high scores?
00:26:10Dream on.
00:26:11To be honest,
00:26:12why should we worry about the future?
00:26:14We were born rich.
00:26:16Whether we study or not,
00:26:17we will never have to worry our whole lives.
00:26:19I know every one of them is very rich.
00:26:21But money can disappear.
00:26:23Only knowledge always belongs to you.
00:26:26I post another paper next to the class rules.
00:26:29Scholarship incentive plan.
00:26:30For every point the class average goes up,
00:26:32I will reward $10,000.
00:26:35Wesson,
00:26:36look quickly.
00:26:37Alice has lost her mind.
00:26:38She wrote that for every point increase,
00:26:40$10,000.
00:26:41A hundred point increase is $1 million.
00:26:44Split among everyone.
00:26:45That is so much money.
00:26:47Wesson tears down the plan I posted.
00:26:52No studying.
00:26:53No one is allowed to study.
00:26:56I am in charge.
00:26:58It 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,
00:27:05I read your study plan.
00:27:06You explain things much more clearly than Mr. Faulkner.
00:27:09I want to learn from you.
00:27:11I want to learn from you.
00:27:11I really want to learn.
00:27:12Is that okay?
00:27:13Eaton walks over and sees me doing menza test questions.
00:27:17Mesa test questions?
00:27:19You dare to touch these?
00:27:21Do you think you can?
00:27:23I grab his wrist and twist it gently.
00:27:25A crack sounds.
00:27:27Eaton clutches his wrist.
00:27:29And falls to the ground in pain.
00:27:33Get lost.
00:27:35The dismissal bell rings.
00:27:38Wesson is the first to rush out of the classroom.
00:27:44Then,
00:27:46everyone crowds around me.
00:27:48Is it true?
00:27:49Do you really give money for improving scores?
00:27:53Corian said your notes are very detailed.
00:27:56Can I borrow them and take a look?
00:28:00You actually believe her?
00:28:03Wesson said no one is allowed to study.
00:28:05He grabs a bucket
00:28:06and dumps water on the desks.
00:28:14Books, backpacks, test papers, all soaked.
00:28:17Eaton, have you lost your mind?
00:28:20This is only the beginning.
00:28:22Eaton slams the door and leaves.
00:28:25Corian turns to look at me.
00:28:30Alice, maybe you should not come to school for a few days.
00:28:34You have made Nina angry.
00:28:35And now Eaton, too.
00:28:37They are even harder to deal with than Wesson.
00:28:40Corian leaves.
00:28:44I am alone in the classroom.
00:28:49It gets dark.
00:28:50I do not yet know what is waiting for me tonight.
00:28:54Janice leads a group of girls and blocks me in the stairwell.
00:28:58They are holding a bottle.
00:29:03I smell it.
00:29:05I smell it.
00:29:05Sulfuric acid.
00:29:07Alice, do you think you are so tough?
00:29:12Guess what it would feel like if we poured this on your face?
00:29:22I snatch the bottle of sulfuric acid and look at Janice.
00:29:25I point the opening at Janice's face.
00:29:33Her whole body collapses.
00:29:36No.
00:29:37I was wrong.
00:29:38I was really wrong.
00:29:42Your mouth needs to learn to shut up.
00:29:48I threw away the bottle.
00:29:50Janice lies on the ground, trembling.
00:29:55I turn and walk away.
00:29:57The next day, when Janice comes to school, everyone stares at her head.
00:30:03Her hair has been shaved off.
00:30:05Not a single strand left.
00:30:07Oh my god.
00:30:09What happened to Janice's hair?
00:30:10Who did that?
00:30:11The whole class is asking.
00:30:13Who did it?
00:30:14I do not answer.
00:30:17Some questions do not need answers.
00:30:22Things have escalated.
00:30:26The elite class students start to surround me.
00:30:29The leader is Sally.
00:30:31Alice, I apologize to you on Janice's behalf.
00:30:34She went too far.
00:30:37But you should not take it too seriously.
00:30:40After all, you are new here.
00:30:43You do not understand the rules here.
00:30:44On the surface, she is mediating.
00:30:47But what she really means is you do not belong here.
00:30:50Have we met before?
00:30:54I was just trying to help you.
00:30:57Why are you so ungrateful?
00:30:59Sally kindly spoke up for you, and this is your attitude?
00:31:02No wonder Janice wanted to teach you a lesson.
00:31:04You deserve to be put in your place.
00:31:06Sally bites her lip, standing in the middle of the crowd.
00:31:09She does not stop them.
00:31:11She just watches.
00:31:12This is what she wants.
00:31:14For everyone to think that I am the one bullying her.
00:31:23You are still too young to compete with me.
00:31:26Nina is not satisfied.
00:31:28She spends a large sum of money to hire international bodyguards.
00:31:31A dozen large men surround me.
00:31:34Alice, tonight is the night you die.
00:31:37I look at her.
00:31:38The dagger glints under the streetlight.
00:31:40Then I move.
00:31:44In less than 30 seconds, a dozen large men are all on the ground.
00:31:49Their arms are broken by me.
00:31:51They are tossed aside like trash.
00:31:53How is this possible?
00:31:54Are you even human?
00:32:02I grab the back of her collar and lift her up.
00:32:04I snatch the dagger from her hand.
00:32:08What 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 to the ground in clumps.
00:32:22My hair!
00:32:24My hair!
00:32:30I leave.
00:32:32And her hair has become just like Janice.
00:32:40The monthly exam results are out.
00:32:42My score surpasses the elite class.
00:32:45Perfect score.
00:32:46First place in the school.
00:32:51The elite class teacher looks at the score report.
00:32:54Her face full of disbelief.
00:33:00Impossible.
00:33:00She must have cheated.
00:33:02I demand a retake.
00:33:03Take it publicly on the sports field.
00:33:05Full surveillance.
00:33:09I do not argue with this request.
00:33:11Only strength will truly shut them up.
00:33:14What if I still get a perfect score?
00:33:20If you get a perfect score,
00:33:21I will give you the elite class classroom.
00:33:24Fine.
00:33:25The exam begins.
00:33:29Aaliyah is waiting to see me make a fool of myself.
00:33:37In less than 20 minutes,
00:33:38I hand in my paper.
00:33:40My test paper is graded by Aaliyah herself.
00:33:49Seeing the perfect score on it,
00:33:51she completely breaks down.
00:33:57Perfect score?
00:33:59This is impossible.
00:34:00You must have used high-tech cheating methods.
00:34:03Is it really that hard to admit that someone else is excellent?
00:34:07You...
00:34:08I can prove that Alice did not cheat.
00:34:15Because she has passed the Mensa Advanced Assessment.
00:34:21The Mensa Advanced Assessment.
00:34:23Only 0.01% of the global population can pass it.
00:34:30Alice is one of them.
00:34:33This...
00:34:34This is impossible.
00:34:38Alice's IQ test results have broken every record since this school was founded.
00:34:43She is a once-in-a-century genius.
00:34:49Wesson's status at 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 and lowers his voice.
00:35:08There is a top-secret national project.
00:35:10Are you willing to join?
00:35:13What project?
00:35:15I cannot say yet.
00:35:16But if you join,
00:35:18the resources you will have access to
00:35:20will be a hundred times more than what you have now.
00:35:23I 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 lost the bet.
00:35:32But they stubbornly refused to move out of the best classroom.
00:35:38Sally has a heart condition.
00:35:40She cannot climb stairs.
00:35:42Changing classrooms will affect her health.
00:35:47When you made the bet,
00:35:49why did you not consider her heart condition then?
00:35:53You.
00:35:55I contact the vice president directly.
00:36:02The vice president personally orders
00:36:04that the elite class must move out.
00:36:13Alice, why are you so cruel?
00:36:17I am not cruel.
00:36:18I am just asking you to keep your word.
00:36:21The elite class students drag their boxes
00:36:24and slink out of the classroom.
00:36:26Sally walks at the back.
00:36:29She looks back at me.
00:36:31In that look,
00:36:32I see the deepest hatred I have ever known.
00:36:35Late at night,
00:36:37I return to my dorm.
00:36:43The door is open.
00:36:46Something is wrong.
00:36:48A python coils on the bed.
00:36:53Spiders crawl on the walls.
00:36:58A monitor lizard clings to the ceiling.
00:37:02Esther and her companions hide outside the door
00:37:05watching this scene.
00:37:06Smiles of revenge on 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.
00:37:30It coils around Esther's neck.
00:37:32Help!
00:37:33It is squeezing me!
00:37:34Help!
00:37:35The spider jumps onto another girl's face.
00:37:39The monitor lizard chases a third girl
00:37:42up two flights of stairs.
00:37:44The whole dormitory build is screaming.
00:37:49What?
00:37:50What is going on here?
00:37:57I do not speak.
00:38:00No one knows I 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 the surveillance footage.
00:38:19The footage appears on the screen.
00:38:21Everyone sees it.
00:38:23The elite class students brought the animals
00:38:25into the dorm themselves.
00:38:26Esther used the keypad to open my door.
00:38:28Everyone will have to know.
00:38:37This...
00:38:37This is impossible!
00:38:39You're saying the surveillance footage is fake?
00:38:42Yes!
00:38:42The footage is fake!
00:38:44Alice fabricated it!
00:38:46The footage must be fake!
00:38:49Fake?
00:38:52Then what about the fingerprints?
00:38:55The animals have your fingerprints on them.
00:38:57Aaliyah cannot speak.
00:38:59The elite class students hang their heads.
00:39:01My...
00:39:01My students...
00:39:01This time no one can help them.
00:39:03Just then,
00:39:04Minna steps forward.
00:39:05She is the quietest student in our class.
00:39:08Sir,
00:39:08it's not like that at all.
00:39:09Then tell me what really happened.
00:39:13I testify that Alice used a brain-computer interface chip to control us.
00:39:22The special federal agency arrives.
00:39:24They are here to take me away.
00:39:30You illegally implanted a brain-computer interface chip.
00:39:34I sit calmly in the interrogation room,
00:39:36like I am listening to a joke.
00:39:38That is a federal felony.
00:39:44Your classmate has already identified you.
00:39:48Who?
00:39:50Minna Montgomery,
00:39:52your classmate.
00:39:53She said you used a chip to control the whole class.
00:39:57Then did you run the test?
00:39:59Do I have a chip in my body?
00:40:04I...
00:40:05The testing process is standard procedure.
00:40:08The results aren't ready yet.
00:40:09Then until the results come back,
00:40:10you have no evidence to detain me.
00:40:12The test results come back.
00:40:14There is no chip in my body.
00:40:16But Charles refuses to let me go.
00:40:18Even if there is none now,
00:40:19it does not mean you never had one.
00:40:21We need to continue the investigation.
00:40:23So you plan to detain me indefinitely without any evidence?
00:40:26Until all suspicion is eliminated.
00:40:29And does your elimination of suspicion have a time limit?
00:40:33That depends on the progress of the investigation.
00:40:38You do not have the authority to detain her.
00:40:42Who are you?
00:40:46William Swain.
00:40:48Mensa Department.
00:40:49Mensa?
00:40:50Department?
00:40:52Alice is a certified top-tier talent of our organization.
00:40:57If you do not release her immediately,
00:41:00you will bear the consequences.
00:41:05I am released.
00:41:06I return to school.
00:41:07Corin rushes up and hugs me.
00:41:13I thought I would never see you again.
00:41:16It's all right now.
00:41:18Look, I'm perfectly fine.
00:41:19Wesson stands in the distance.
00:41:21His expression is complicated.
00:41:23He almost called home for help.
00:41:25The people he swore he would never contact again.
00:41:28Fuck, forget it, Wesson.
00:41:30The person who filed the false report
00:41:32will be severely punished.
00:41:36Mina Montgomery,
00:41:37do you have anything to say for yourself?
00:41:41I... I...
00:41:46No one expected that Mina would run to the school rooftop.
00:41:51The school pushed me to this!
00:41:54Alice pushed me to this!
00:41:58Alice Wright did this.
00:42:01My father is sick.
00:42:04My mother is gone.
00:42:06My little brothers and sisters are starving.
00:42:10I need that scholarship.
00:42:13But Alice took it all away!
00:42:15How can you be so cruel?
00:42:20Are you gonna watch my whole family starve to death?
00:42:25In front of everyone,
00:42:26she starts to morally manipulate me.
00:42:31Where did you spend your money?
00:42:36What?
00:42:38I pull up Mina's social media account in front of her.
00:42:41The screen is full of expensive anime figurines.
00:42:44Could you please explain the prices of these limited edition figures?
00:42:48One figurine costs enough to feed an ordinary family for three months.
00:42:52I... I... I...
00:42:54No one feels sorry for Mina's breakdown.
00:42:56People who lie do not deserve sympathy.
00:43:01I... I... I... I...
00:43:02You can be poor, but you cannot lie.
00:43:08Mina is asked to withdraw from school.
00:43:10The day she leaves,
00:43:11No one sees his hair off.
00:43:13No one wants to be friends with a liar.
00:43:21Useless.
00:43:23One pawn gone just like that.
00:43:26Damn Alice.
00:43:34One day, I receive a call from Dami.
00:43:39Mom, I bought you a villa.
00:43:41It is right near the school.
00:43:48She can live in the school dormitory!
00:43:50Why does she need a villa?
00:43:52It is my money.
00:43:54I can spend it on whoever I want.
00:43:57Are you just going to stand there
00:43:59and watch your father do this?
00:44:06I...
00:44:09I think that woman will drain the right group dry
00:44:11sooner or later.
00:44:12Michael says nothing.
00:44:13He is not sure how he feels about me either.
00:44:16I saved his father,
00:44:17but my appearance has turned everything upside down for them.
00:44:21Because of your arrival,
00:44:22all hell is breaking loose at home.
00:44:29I know.
00:44:30But I will not back down.
00:44:39Because they are my descendants.
00:44:48I move into the villa Damien bought for me.
00:44:50Modern minimalist style.
00:44:53Very quiet.
00:44:55Very clean.
00:44:57It is the way I like it.
00:45:04I have just settled in
00:45:06when I notice a figure by the window of the villa across from mine.
00:45:09I focus my gaze.
00:45:11That person's profile looks exactly like someone.
00:45:14But the next second,
00:45:15the figure is gone.
00:45:17Is that my imagination?
00:45:20I open my computer
00:45:21and search for Bowen Morris.
00:45:25That impossibly handsome face
00:45:27appears on the screen.
00:45:32My fingertip stops on the screen.
00:45:35Is this man really Damien's father or not?
00:45:40Just then,
00:45:41I received a call from Damien.
00:45:47He is in trouble.
00:45:49The LR group's new drug
00:45:51is about to hit the market.
00:45:53If they succeed,
00:45:54our pharmaceutical business
00:45:55will be severely impacted.
00:45:58Bowen Morris.
00:46:00Mom,
00:46:01is he really
00:46:02my father?
00:46:04I do not answer him immediately
00:46:06because I have not confirmed it in person yet.
00:46:08I cannot be sure
00:46:09if he really is Damien'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 after the right group?
00:46:19I do not know.
00:46:22But I will find the answer.
00:46:25I hang up.
00:46:26Outside the window,
00:46:28the villa across from mine
00:46:29is completely dark.
00:46:30Bowen Morris.
00:46:31Who exactly are you?
00:46:32Just as I am thinking about
00:46:34how to meet Bowen Morris,
00:46:36an opportunity arrives.
00:46:38He is coming to give a lecture
00:46:40at our school.
00:46:41Posters are plastered
00:46:43all 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.
00:47:00I need a front row ticket.
00:47:02The front row is reserved
00:47:04for VIPs.
00:47:11I do not speak.
00:47:13I just look at him quietly.
00:47:16In the end,
00:47:17he agrees.
00:47:21All 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 of 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,
00:47:42he also looks at me.
00:47:50Time seems to stand still
00:47:51in this moment.
00:47:53This moment is very brief,
00:47:55but,
00:47:55but it also feels very long.
00:48:00Bowen shifts his gaze away
00:48:01and walks to the podium.
00:48:05His voice is deep and powerful.
00:48:08Every move he makes
00:48:09radiates a composure
00:48:10that does not match his age.
00:48:13I stare at the tiny dark Mo
00:48:15at the corner of his eye.
00:48:17The future of biotechnology
00:48:18lies in our understanding
00:48:20of the essence of life.
00:48:24It looks exactly the same
00:48:25as in my memory.
00:48:37The lecture ends
00:48:38amid the cheers of the students.
00:48:42Bowen leaves,
00:48:43surrounded by bodyguards.
00:48:47I stand up to chase after him,
00:48:49but I am blocked
00:48:49by his bodyguards.
00:49:01Just as I turn around,
00:49:03my phone buzzes.
00:49:04A message from an unknown number.
00:49:06Alice Wright,
00:49:07I have long admired you.
00:49:15The message is from Bowen,
00:49:17but he has already
00:49:18disappeared into the crowd.
00:49:22Looking 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,
00:49:35I 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?
00:49:55Bowen 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,
00:50:09and leaves only
00:50:09after confirming
00:50:10no one is there.
00:50:11but he does not
00:50:12notice me.
00:50:15I stand at the corner,
00:50:17my brows furrowed.
00:50:18Why is Wesson
00:50:19investigating Bowen?
00:50:26I decide not to
00:50:28confront Wesson for now.
00:50:30I want to see what he is
00:50:32really trying to do.
00:50:36Wesson has changed.
00:50:38He starts to become studious,
00:50:40asking me questions
00:50:42from time to time.
00:50:43He has transformed
00:50:45from 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
00:51:03to come to my house
00:51:04for tutoring.
00:51:04Do you want to come?
00:51:06Nina pushes
00:51:06the professor's resumes
00:51:07in front of Wesson.
00:51:09Look at these
00:51:09professors' credentials.
00:51:10They are all
00:51:11top scholars.
00:51:13Okay.
00:51:14Really?
00:51:15That is great!
00:51:16The news reaches
00:51:17Sally's ears.
00:51:20Wesson will not go.
00:51:22He 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
00:51:29because 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.
00:51:38I will not lose
00:51:39to a rich idiot.
00:51:40Her fingernails
00:51:41dig into her palm.
00:51:45blood seeps out.
00:51:48She does not feel it.
00:51:53Wesson arrives
00:51:54at Nina's mansion.
00:51:59The living room
00:52:00is bigger than
00:52:01the school auditorium.
00:52:02Nina nestles
00:52:03very intimately
00:52:04neck to Wesson.
00:52:06I do not understand
00:52:07this problem.
00:52:09Can you teach me?
00:52:14Wesson frowns.
00:52:15He came here
00:52:16to listen
00:52:17to the professor's lecture,
00:52:18not to teach Nina.
00:52:24Do you not have
00:52:25your own professors?
00:52:30Wesson,
00:52:31I want you
00:52:32to teach me.
00:52:38If you invited me
00:52:39to your house
00:52:39to start something
00:52:40with me,
00:52:41then you will
00:52:41be disappointed.
00:52:45Wesson,
00:52:46do not understand.
00:52:47I will study
00:52:49seriously.
00:52:50Do not go.
00:52:52Wesson pays
00:52:53no attention
00:52:53to Nina's coaxing.
00:52:55Instead,
00:52:56he pushes her
00:52:56away with disgust.
00:53:03Wesson leaves.
00:53:04Janus walks
00:53:05into the room
00:53:06and leans
00:53:06close to Nina.
00:53:08You will never
00:53:09catch him
00:53:09like this.
00:53:18Then what
00:53:19should I do?
00:53:21You need to get rid
00:53:22of the woman
00:53:23next to him
00:53:23first.
00:53:26Alice?
00:53:28Yes, Alice.
00:53:35I receive
00:53:36a mysterious
00:53:37invitation.
00:53:38Inside the envelope
00:53:39is just a card.
00:53:40On it
00:53:41is an address
00:53:42and a time.
00:53:43No signature.
00:53:44Although
00:53:45there is no name
00:53:46on it,
00:53:46I know
00:53:47it is from
00:53:48Bowen.
00:53:49I hesitate
00:53:50all night.
00:53:51Go
00:53:52or not go.
00:53:54If Bowen
00:53:55really is that man,
00:53:56how should I
00:53:57face him?
00:53:58What if I am
00:53:59wrong?
00:54:03In the end,
00:54:05I grab my
00:54:06coat
00:54:06and walk
00:54:07out the door.
00:54:12The car
00:54:13pulls up
00:54:14to the restaurant.
00:54:18I see
00:54:19Bowen
00:54:19is already
00:54:19sitting inside.
00:54:22I walk
00:54:23into the
00:54:24restaurant.
00:54:25Bowen
00:54:26waves
00:54:26to me.
00:54:28I go
00:54:28to the
00:54:29table.
00:54:29He looks
00:54:30up,
00:54:31smiles
00:54:31at me,
00:54:32and stands
00:54:33up very
00:54:33gentlemanly.
00:54:35Please sit,
00:54:36Alice.
00:54:39I nod
00:54:39to him.
00:54:45His voice
00:54:46sounds again.
00:54:47man.
00:54:48Or rather,
00:54:51should I
00:54:51call you
00:54:53Demi's
00:54:55mother?
00:54:59The first
00:55:00words Bowen
00:55:00Morris speaks
00:55:01make my heart
00:55:02skip a beat.
00:55:05Do you
00:55:06know me?
00:55:07I am
00:55:08completely
00:55:08frozen in
00:55:09place.
00:55:10I've always
00:55:10known you.
00:55:11One hundred
00:55:12years ago,
00:55:13you saved
00:55:13my life.
00:55:14You probably
00:55:14do not
00:55:15remember.
00:55:16My pupils
00:55:17contract.
00:55:18I saved
00:55:18him one
00:55:19hundred
00:55:19years ago,
00:55:19but he
00:55:20looks so
00:55:21young.
00:55:21That means
00:55:22he,
00:55:23like me,
00:55:23has existed
00:55:24for over
00:55:24a century.
00:55:25I went
00:55:26by another
00:55:26name back
00:55:26then.
00:55:27The war,
00:55:28the front
00:55:28lines,
00:55:29you treated
00:55:30my wounds.
00:55:31Bowen
00:55:31continues to
00:55:32recount details
00:55:33from over
00:55:33a hundred
00:55:34years ago.
00:55:35I listen
00:55:35quietly.
00:55:37Old
00:55:37memories
00:55:37appear in
00:55:38my mind.
00:55:44You are
00:55:45that
00:55:45soldier?
00:55:48Yes.
00:55:50I pick
00:55:51up the
00:55:51wine glass
00:55:52in front
00:55:52of me
00:55:52to take
00:55:53a sip
00:55:53and calm
00:55:54my nerves.
00:55:56Just
00:55:56then,
00:55:57his voice
00:55:58continues.
00:56:00And I
00:56:00also know
00:56:01that Damien
00:56:02is my son.
00:56:03My hand
00:56:03trembles,
00:56:04wine sloshes
00:56:05out of my
00:56:06glass,
00:56:06my gaze
00:56:08locks onto
00:56:08his 27-year-old
00:56:09face.
00:56:11But I
00:56:11know,
00:56:12he is
00:56:13already over
00:56:13a hundred
00:56:14years old.
00:56:16After that
00:56:17night,
00:56:17I was
00:56:17transferred
00:56:18away.
00:56:19When I
00:56:20came back
00:56:20to find
00:56:21you,
00:56:21you had
00:56:22already
00:56:22disappeared.
00:56:23I listened
00:56:23quietly.
00:56:24In the
00:56:25face of
00:56:25war,
00:56:26an
00:56:26individual's
00:56:26power is
00:56:27too
00:56:27insignificant.
00:56:28I
00:56:28thought
00:56:28you
00:56:29were
00:56:29dead.
00:56:32Until
00:56:33a few
00:56:33years ago,
00:56:34I discovered
00:56:34that the
00:56:35founder of
00:56:35the
00:56:35right
00:56:35group was
00:56:36named
00:56:36Damien
00:56:36Wright.
00:56:39I
00:56:40checked
00:56:40his
00:56:40DNA.
00:56:41He
00:56:42is
00:56:42my
00:56:42son.
00:56:44I
00:56:45can't
00:56:45believe
00:56:45what I'm
00:56:46hearing.
00:56:49Since
00:56:50you have
00:56:50existed for
00:56:51over a
00:56:51hundred
00:56:52years,
00:56:53why do
00:56:54you still
00:56:54look so
00:56:54young?
00:56:55I
00:56:55guess that
00:56:56like me,
00:56:57he fell
00:56:57into a
00:56:57deep sleep
00:56:58for some
00:56:58special
00:56:59reason.
00:56:59But that
00:57:00is not
00:57:00the
00:57:00case.
00:57:01I
00:57:01traveled
00:57:01through
00:57:02time.
00:57:03What?
00:57:04Time
00:57:05travel?
00:57:08I
00:57:08listened to
00:57:09this
00:57:09news
00:57:09in
00:57:10shock.
00:57:10It
00:57:11sounds
00:57:11even
00:57:11more
00:57:12bizarre
00:57:12than
00:57:12my
00:57:12own
00:57:13experience.
00:57:15Yes,
00:57:16I do
00:57:16not know
00:57:17how it
00:57:17happened.
00:57:22But I
00:57:22was thrown
00:57:23one
00:57:23hundred
00:57:24years into
00:57:24the future.
00:57:25Then why
00:57:25did you
00:57:26not come
00:57:26to find
00:57:26Damien?
00:57:30Do you
00:57:30know how
00:57:31much he
00:57:31longs for
00:57:32his father
00:57:32to be
00:57:33by his
00:57:33side?
00:57:33He
00:57:34is
00:57:34silent
00:57:34for a
00:57:35very
00:57:35long
00:57:35time.
00:57:44I
00:57:44know,
00:57:44but I
00:57:45cannot.
00:57:46You
00:57:46cannot?
00:57:48Why?
00:57:50My
00:57:51heart
00:57:51is full
00:57:51of
00:57:52confusion.
00:57:53Does
00:57:53he
00:57:53have
00:57:54some
00:57:54hidden
00:57:54difficulty?
00:57:56It
00:57:57is not
00:57:57that I
00:57:58do not
00:57:58want to
00:57:58acknowledge
00:57:58him.
00:58:00But if
00:58:01I
00:58:01acknowledge
00:58:01him,
00:58:01he
00:58:01might
00:58:02be

00:58:11But
00:58:12behind it,
00:58:12there is
00:58:13a massive
00:58:14power.
00:58:14If I
00:58:15admit that
00:58:15Damien is
00:58:16my son,
00:58:17they will
00:58:18move against
00:58:18the right
00:58:18group.
00:58:23What
00:58:23power?

01:17:18Alice.
01:17:31Thunderous
01:17:31applause
01:17:32erupts from the audience.
01:17:34Sally stands in the corner, biting her lip, her fingernails digging into her palm.
01:17:39She lost.
01:17:40Completely lost.
01:17:44Sally comes to find me.
01:17:46For the first time, she sets aside her pride.
01:17:54I
01:17:54lost.
01:17:56I
01:17:57am not as good as you.
01:17:59It
01:18:00is not that you are not as good as me.
01:18:02You
01:18:02lost to yourself.
01:18:06Maybe.
01:18:07She
01:18:08turns
01:18:08to leave.
01:18:09I
01:18:10stop
01:18:10her.
01:18:13Sally, wait!
01:18:16What's
01:18:16up?
01:18:19I
01:18:20signed your scholarship application for you.
01:18:27Why?
01:18:28Because you deserve a chance.
01:18:33Do not waste it.
01:18:36Her tears
01:18:37fall.
01:18:40You
01:18:41Do you not hate me?
01:18:45Hating you is too exhausting.
01:18:46I do not have the time.
01:18:48This is the first time Sally cries sincerely.
01:18:51Not out of grievance, but because she finally understands that some things cannot be taken
01:18:57by force, like respect, like trust.
01:19:06The semester ends.
01:19:08I stand at the school gate, watching the sunset.
01:19:12The sky is orange-red, just like that night 100 years ago.
01:19:17Bowen pulls up and stops in front of me.
01:19:24Get in.
01:19:26I am taking you to see something.
01:19:28Where?
01:19:30You
01:19:31You will know when we get there.
01:19:40I get in the car.
01:19:41Bowen takes me to an ancient castle.
01:19:44It is the exact same castle I went to before I fell into my deep sleep.
01:19:52We're here.
01:19:52Let's get out.
01:20:02This is...
01:20:03This place is where you began your deep sleep.
01:20:05It is also why I was able to find you.
01:20:08I push the door open and walk inside.
01:20:10Deep inside the castle, there is a light.
01:20:13I do not know where it comes from.
01:20:14It just shines there.
01:20:16Do you want to know the truth?
01:20:20Follow me.
01:20:24I look back once.
01:20:25Outside the door is the sunset.
01:20:27Inside the door is the light.
01:20:29I take a deep breath and walk toward that light.
01:20:32100 years later, I stand before this door again.
01:20:36This time, I am taking back what belongs to me.
01:20:39If I do not impress the way, I do not europes to see everything.
01:20:39For interest, I do not be next book all the way.
01:20:39I do not understand anything about the son.
01:20:39I do not think that you are a person.
01:20:39But I do not even want to know anything.
01:20:39I do not see otherwise.
01:20:39I do not understand anything.
01:20:40You
