Short filmTranscript
00:00:03When I was 18, I signed a pre-nupical agreement and married Alistair, a man 15 years my senior.
00:00:14Everyone says I'm just a canary he keeps in a penthouse, but only I know how much he has favored
00:00:19me.
00:00:21This ring, which he designed himself, is the proof.
00:00:25And now, we finally have a little angel of our own.
00:00:29I have to tell Alistair the good news. I wonder how happy he'll be.
00:00:33Alistair, are you free right now? There's something I want you to be the first to know.
00:00:37Something's come up on my end.
00:00:39What's so urgent?
00:00:40Victoria's back. She's not doing well, so I need to take care of her first. I'll find you later. Be
00:00:45a good girl.
00:00:46Victoria. The one name he never allowed anyone to mention.
00:01:10You said you were busy today. So this is what you're busy with? Spending time with her?
00:01:16Am I interrupting something?
00:01:18She just got back and isn't doing well. Don't overthink it.
00:01:21Not doing well? Is that an excuse to be intimate with my husband in here?
00:01:26Alistair, you promised me you'd forget her.
00:01:29Chloe. Watch your attitude.
00:01:32I'm your wife. I don't even have the right to ask a question?
00:01:35It's precisely because you are my wife that you should know your place.
00:01:41My place? What about you? Bringing another woman into your office? Is that your idea of knowing your place?
00:01:47Article 32 of the pre-Hopful Agreement. You are not to interfere with my social life, schedule, or business arrangements.
00:01:53You signed it. Now follow the rule.
00:01:54Alistair, she's young. It's only natural she's being mature. Don't be too hard on her.
00:01:59Not even a single word of explanation?
00:02:01It's not necessary. I gave you a title and a life of dignity, not a license to come here and
00:02:05make a steam.
00:02:06Grow up, little girl. Don't make this any more embarrassing than it already is.
00:02:09Get out.
00:02:16Why the rush? Even a contract wife can feel embarrassed?
00:02:24Get out of my way.
00:02:25Does this look familiar?
00:02:27Alistair designed it himself. The size, the cut, even the curve of the setting. It's identical.
00:02:33The one on your finger is just a fake he bought later to replace it.
00:02:36What exactly are you trying to say?
00:02:38I'm saying you should know your place. So what if you're his wife?
00:02:41You live in his house, spend his money, and trade a contract for a last name.
00:02:45But I'm different. I don't need an appointment to enter his office.
00:02:49I sit on his sofa, and he pours my drinks himself.
00:02:53Alistair, I only have one question. Why is her ring the same as mine?
00:02:57It's just a ring.
00:03:00I designed this ring specifically for you.
00:03:03It's the only one of its kind in the world.
00:03:06After all, you are my one and only.
00:03:10Fine. I understand.
00:03:15What is this?
00:03:23It's just a manuscript for the competition. Don't bother yourself with it.
00:03:27I'll have the driver take you back.
00:03:29No need. I can get back on my own.
00:03:31I haven't had a chance to see her music room yet.
00:03:34See it if you want. You don't have to ask me twice about anything in this house.
00:03:38No problem. I'll send the manuscript over right now.
00:03:45My manuscript!
00:03:51This is my only original copy.
00:03:53I'm so sorry, Chloe.
00:03:55Who knew your music room would be such a mess?
00:03:57My hand slipped, and I spilled it.
00:03:59You won't blame me, will you?
00:04:00What a shame.
00:04:01I heard you were in a rush to submit this.
00:04:05What are you going to do now?
00:04:08Get your foot off it!
00:04:10It's just a pile of paper.
00:04:11Is all this really necessary?
00:04:17Alistair!
00:04:20Alistair, I really didn't mean it.
00:04:21I just wanted to see where she usually practices,
00:04:23but she started snapping at me the moment she got back.
00:04:25I'm a little scared.
00:04:26Victoria, you-
00:04:27Chloe, enough!
00:04:28What did you say?
00:04:29Victoria already said she didn't mean it.
00:04:31Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
00:04:32I wrote every single note of this myself.
00:04:34This is two years of my hard work.
00:04:36Alistair, you know that better than anyone!
00:04:38Hard work?
00:04:39Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:04:41This score, or the status you've built using it as a prop?
00:04:44A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate?
00:04:49Who are you trying to impress with this wronged woman act?
00:04:52Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the
00:04:57top?
00:04:57I didn't.
00:04:58Am I wrong?
00:04:59Now that Victoria's back, you know your position is shaky,
00:05:02so you're using these tears and your so-called hard work as leverage.
00:05:05At the end of the ale, isn't this whole tantrum just a way to get my attention,
00:05:08to get more money, and to squeeze more out of me?
00:05:10No! You've forgotten!
00:05:12I never married you for your wealth, and I certainly wasn't plotting against the Sterling family.
00:05:16You were the one who begged me to marry you!
00:05:18I admit I was blinded by you back then.
00:05:19If I could do it all over again, I would never marry a woman as calculating as you.
00:05:22We've been married for two years, and this is how lowly you think of me?
00:05:25What else would I think?
00:05:33You're still throwing a tantrum over what happened today.
00:05:36Not throwing a tantrum, I just want to know, what exactly am I to you?
00:05:40You're my wife. I sketched the design for this ring myself.
00:05:43That year you were playing the cello in the snow, your hands were beet red from the cold, yet you
00:05:47refused to stop.
00:05:48I sat in the car watching you for half an hour, and when I got back, I drew this.
00:05:52You still remember?
00:05:53Of course.
00:05:54Chloe, I'm not blind to these things.
00:05:56Then why do you protect her over and over again?
00:05:59Victoria is too deeply tied to the family's projects.
00:06:02I took her side today not because she's more important than Chloe, but because I had to keep the situation
00:06:06under control.
00:06:07Don't take those words to heart.
00:06:09Is that really all it is?
00:06:10You're too young. There are many things I don't want you to get mixed up in.
00:06:18Alistair, I hit someone. There's so much blood. Please come quickly.
00:06:23Something came up at the office. I need to head out, but I'll be back soon.
00:06:27This late?
00:06:28Wait for me. Don't go anywhere.
00:06:33Little one, your father still cares for us. Just wait a little longer.
00:06:40Chloe, Victoria accidentally killed someone with her car.
00:06:42She can't be linked to this case. So, you're going to take the fall for her.
00:06:52Chloe, don't be afraid. I'll handle everything. Just sign the papers, and I promise you'll be fine.
00:06:57You want me to take the fall for her killing someone?
00:06:59Alistair, you just said you would protect me.
00:07:01I am protecting you. The press is swarming outside, and the police are already watching us.
00:07:04We have to lock in the statement first so I can get you out of this mess.
00:07:07Don't be difficult. This is the fastest way.
00:07:08The lawyers will arrange your bail. All you have to do is give your thumbprint.
00:07:12So, everything you said tonight was just a tactic to play me?
00:07:14The ring, the promises? What did any of it mean?
00:07:17It means you need to be smart right now.
00:07:19Article 33 of the prenuptal agreement.
00:07:21You are required to cooperate with family crisis management.
00:07:24Otherwise, you'll never be able to pay off the penalty in your lifetime.
00:07:27I'm not signing.
00:07:28Chloe, don't push me. Once you leave your print, this all ends tonight.
00:07:36Let go! You're hurting me!
00:07:41What?
00:07:45Chloe, how... Why are you bleeding so much?
00:07:54Alistair, I'm pregnant.
00:07:56It's your baby.
00:07:58Please take me to the hospital.
00:08:00Now is not the time for this.
00:08:02I'm begging you.
00:08:04Please.
00:08:06Sign this, and I'll arrange for the hospital immediately.
00:08:11You still want me to sign?
00:08:13The accident case is already open.
00:08:15Victoria cannot go to prison.
00:08:16Take the fall first, and I'll cover everything.
00:08:19The bail, the lawyers, the hospital.
00:08:21If you don't sign, no one is coming for you tonight.
00:08:24And the hospital won't prioritize you.
00:08:26That's a human life!
00:08:27Not one of your PR crisis!
00:08:29Do you think the feds will just take your word for it?
00:08:32If you confess, it'll only be a few years,
00:08:34and I can reduce your sentence.
00:08:36If you fight it,
00:08:37you won't even make it to bail.
00:08:40You're using the hospital to blackmail me?
00:08:42I'm giving you a way out.
00:08:43Chloe, be good.
00:08:44Just confess first.
00:08:45We'll talk about the baby later.
00:08:47Later?
00:08:48You don't even want him now.
00:08:49You said you'd never leave me alone.
00:08:52Sign it now.
00:08:59Wait!
00:09:06Wait.
00:09:08Alistin, I knew you wouldn't...
00:09:09If you sign it like this,
00:09:10it looks too much like coercion.
00:09:12The police might not accept it.
00:09:16Press your thumbprint,
00:09:17then sign it again.
00:09:18You stopped me!
00:09:20Just for this?
00:09:21The confession must be flawless.
00:09:23Nothing can happen to Victoria.
00:09:24I'm bleeding.
00:09:25And you're worried about the paperwork looking pretty?
00:09:28I already have a car waiting downstairs.
00:09:30Once you sign,
00:09:31I'll take you to the hospital immediately.
00:09:33And if I don't sign?
00:09:34Then you can keep wasting time here tonight.
00:09:37Wait for the feds to arrive,
00:09:38or wait for the baby to mice-rake on its own.
00:09:40Your choice.
00:09:43That's your child, too.
00:09:45Sign the papers first.
00:09:52Alistair,
00:09:53you'll pay for this.
00:09:54Sign it.
00:10:03Don't be afraid.
00:10:05I'm calling an ambulance for you right now.
00:10:11Alistair,
00:10:12save the baby first, I beg you.
00:10:14Save the baby.
00:10:17As long as the baby is safe,
00:10:19anything else,
00:10:20I'll agree to anything.
00:10:22Don't worry.
00:10:22You and the baby will be fine.
00:10:24Let's go!
00:10:24Coming through!
00:10:28Come on.
00:10:29Come on.
00:10:31The patient is facing a severe threat and miscarriage
00:10:32with significant uterine bleeding.
00:10:34We must operate immediately to stop the hemorrhage.
00:10:35She's in critical condition.
00:10:36Any further delay,
00:10:37and we won't be able to save either the mother or the child.
00:10:39These are the prenatal records of the bleeding logs.
00:10:40Sign us now to offer a combined procedure for surgery
00:10:42and fetal preservation.
00:10:43Mr. Sterling, there is no time.
00:10:44She's losing blood rapidly.
00:10:45She needs to be in the OR right now.
00:10:46Every minute counts.
00:10:47If we wait any longer,
00:10:48the baby is gone,
00:10:49and the mother's life will be at risk, too.
00:10:53Mr. Sterling,
00:10:54Victoria had DUI.
00:10:55If you want your wife to take the fall,
00:10:56it's best she has no recent record of pregnancy.
00:10:59Otherwise...
00:11:00Understood.
00:11:01Hold off on the filing,
00:11:03suspend the surgery,
00:11:04just stop the bleeding for now.
00:11:05What did you say?
00:11:08For her sake,
00:11:09you're even...
00:11:11abandoning our child?
00:11:18Cancel the surgery?
00:11:19You're going to kill our own flesh and blood
00:11:21just for Victoria?
00:11:22As long as you take the fall for the accident,
00:11:24we can have other children later.
00:11:27But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.
00:11:30She cannot have a criminal record.
00:11:31Ma'am, please calm down.
00:11:33She's eight weeks pregnant and hemorrhaging.
00:11:36And you want her to confess to a crime?
00:11:39Save your misplaced sense of justice
00:11:41and do as I say,
00:11:43or you'll be kicked out of the medical profession
00:11:45for good by tomorrow.
00:11:51You didn't come here to save me at all.
00:11:53You said only today that protect me.
00:11:55Is this what you call protection?
00:11:58Be a good girl and confess.
00:12:00You'll still be my most cherished wife.
00:12:03No.
00:12:04Alistair, I'm begging you.
00:12:22Where is my baby?
00:12:32The baby wasn't meant to be with us.
00:12:34Don't play games with me.
00:12:36Was it an accident,
00:12:37or did you order the doctor to do it?
00:12:41You're still young.
00:12:43Once you've recovered,
00:12:44we'll have other children.
00:12:47Answer me!
00:12:49Victoria's legal team
00:12:50has been working through the night.
00:12:51I've used the Sterling Family Trust
00:12:53to post your $50 million bail.
00:13:00Alistair, even your way of killing
00:13:01is so refined.
00:13:03I have no patience for your tantrums.
00:13:05Behave yourself.
00:13:05Focus on your recovery.
00:13:07I'm busy lately.
00:13:08Once you're better,
00:13:09head back on your own.
00:13:10No need to let me know.
00:13:12Behave yourself.
00:13:26Oh, you're back.
00:13:27The fabric of this at four is really nice,
00:13:29though the waist is a bit tight.
00:13:35Who gave you permission to wear my clothes?
00:13:37Is there anything in this apartment
00:13:38that actually belongs to you,
00:13:40even that your engagement ring you're wearing?
00:13:41didn't pay for it with his card?
00:13:46Chloe, the doctor said
00:13:47you shouldn't get worked up.
00:13:48Sit down first.
00:13:50Tell
00:13:51to take it off.
00:13:53Alistair, I'm just borrowing it.
00:13:55Does she really have to be so mean?
00:13:58It's just a pajama.
00:14:00Do you have to start a scene
00:14:01the second you get home?
00:14:07Chloe, have you had enough?
00:14:08You've been acting like a total lunaturk lately.
00:14:10Can't you be more sensible?
00:14:11Alistair?
00:14:15He said you looked pathetic last night.
00:14:17Did you know?
00:14:17He complained that your crying was too loud,
00:14:19so he held me in his arms all night.
00:14:20He also said he never forgot about me.
00:14:23You were out of the game from the very beginning.
00:14:26Well, that's very Christian.
00:14:30Alistair, help me!
00:14:32Calm down.
00:14:33Put the knife down first.
00:14:34Choose.
00:14:35Choose between us right now!
00:14:37Chloe, what the hell is wrong with you lately?
00:14:39Be reasonable.
00:14:40I can't be reasonable.
00:14:42Everything changed the moment she came back.
00:14:44Have you forgotten how we lost our baby?
00:14:46Have you forgotten what you promised me?
00:14:47You said you would protect me,
00:14:48but who are you protecting now?
00:14:49Look at me, Alistair!
00:14:51Look at me!
00:14:51Fine.
00:14:52I choose you.
00:14:53Chloe, I choose you.
00:14:55Now let her go and come here.
00:15:05Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:08This is your last warning.

00:25:45this score or the status you built using it as a prop this is the piece she wrote back then
00:26:08i need to speak with you chloe i thought you'd never ask that last bar was brilliant
00:26:15only because your theme gave me something to work 30 of sterling group equity transferred to you

00:28:15was wrong from that moment i forged the confession and used the agreement to force you to sign not
00:28:20because i believe that bullshit i did it because i was scared scared of what scared you would see
00:28:25how rotten i was scared you would realize i was framing my own wife to save another woman's freedom
00:28:30scared you would look down on me scared you would leave so i pushed you off the cliff first
00:28:34i thought that would bind you to me guilt the baby the debt you owed me but i i destroyed
00:28:38everything
00:28:39with my own hands the baby our baby are you done we should go say goodbye to the conductor
00:28:57i am honored by your invitation
00:29:00miss sterling congratulations on the huge success of your european tour
00:29:04many fans are curious how did you create a piece as moving as ashes thank you
00:29:09i think it came from the people who helped me
00:29:11and from things i had no choice but to survive what experiences there was a time in my life when
00:29:17i was very
00:29:18closed off on paper i had a home in reality i was more like a carefully kept possession you mean
00:29:26your marriage yes a marriage built on enormous equality and lies
00:29:32i was too young then naive enough to believe talent and love could bridge anything
00:29:36then i was betrayed and i lost my child that is heartbreaking i was lucky after i escaped i met
00:29:45people in europe who truly respected art and human dignity they gave me shelter and a stage and
00:29:51allowed me to live purely for music so you see that unhappy marriage as the catalyst for your artistic
00:29:56transformation it is part of my life that cannot be erased i do not thank that experience but i thank
00:30:02the woman who crawled out of the rubbles as for the other person in that marriage
00:30:10my past and that name with it is over like a fire that burned itself out only ashes remain
00:30:16i will not and i do not want to have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again
00:30:21my life and my music are moving forward i will not and i do not want to have even the
00:30:27slightest
00:30:28connection with anyone from that past again promise me we will not be apart for a hundred years
00:30:36not a hundred years forever chloe not even the slightest connection did we not promise each other
00:30:45we were supposed to be together forever
00:30:51thank you for driving me home julian and thank you for tonight's performance the honor was mine
00:30:56get some rest move chloe please just five minutes no one minute let me say one thing
00:31:04one moment i was wrong i know i was wrong i do not want anything anymore i will give you
00:31:10everything

00:31:53need
00:31:53that vanderbilt what can he give her peace respect a place where she does not have to wonder if the
00:31:58man
00:31:59beside her will send her to prison save it mr staling your price cannot buy my conscience and it sure
00:32:04as hell cannot buy back for three years he came to see me offered a blank check if i would
00:32:10leave you
00:32:11oh i blocked every way he can contact me but you need to be careful i'm afraid his next move
00:32:16will
00:32:16be even more unhinged three years ago he used the law as a chain our child as albridge and my
00:32:21life to buy
00:32:21another woman's freedom what else can he possibly your reputation your performance everything you have
00:32:25in europe i have already lost the most precious thing i had there is nothing left that can scare me

00:32:53afternoon's ensemble rehearsal what date is it october 19th of course five years ago today we were
00:33:00officially married why would alistair send me this now what the hell is he trying to do julian if
00:33:07someone used a day you never wanted to remember to remind you how stupid you used to be what would
00:33:12you do i would tell myself that day is dead today is what survived he is such a fool he
00:33:16really thinks
00:33:17this random photo and blessing can patch over my scars you still care about him do you not
00:33:26i just think he is stupid and i feel sorry for the person i used to be
00:33:31it is over now there is nothing to care about
00:33:38oh my god those are blue phantom roses they must have been flown in
00:33:44the card is gorgeous my other half of my soul who brought these in did i not say every gift
00:33:50goes
00:33:50through me first the florist brought them straight to the backstage door they said they were specifically
00:33:54for claire they are beautiful i bet they are even prettier in real life but i heard they are almost
00:34:04impossible to grow and they bloom for only a moment i guess they were never meant for me nothing is
00:34:07impossible for the sterlings not if you want it forget it some things are just not meant to be
00:34:13chloe chloe are you okay give it to me leave the flowers put them here they are pretty
00:34:33chloe are you sure you're okay it's just a flower brody i'm fine just drop it will you
00:34:40chloe you are the other half of my soul the missing part of me only you can make me whole
00:34:46in that moment i thought i had caught every star in the sky the other half of my soul
00:34:57not mine never meant to be mine
00:35:05chloe
00:35:10tell me what happened in that cafe in new york before he kissed me for the first time that is
00:35:15exactly what he said my other half of my soul i am getting you time off go home and really
00:35:21no i'm in fine you're sure i am sure the harder he tries to nail me to the past the
00:35:26more i will
00:35:27make him see those memories cannot hurt me anymore i will not drown in the past never
00:35:34mr sterling these are the records you requested how bad was she when she was brought in all of them
00:35:38extremely bad the patient was already showing early signs of hemorrhagic shock we recommended immediate
00:35:42surgery it was the only way to try to save both mother and child why did you not insist you
00:35:46signed
00:35:47the form you said as long as she could talk in authority to overturn the family's explicit
00:35:50instructions if you had done the surgery the baby there would at least have been a chance but after
00:35:53you refused that child could not be saved we later found the patient had already been delayed at home
00:35:57for at least more than 40 minutes before she arrived after arrival waiting for your signature
00:36:01cost the best intervention window delayed how long nearly two hours the records show the
00:36:07hemorrhage became fully controllable after midnight we later assessed that if she had
00:36:11arrived half an hour later or if the bleeding had been slightly worse we might not have saved the
00:36:15mother either child it was me it was all me i killed chloe's and my baby with my own hands
00:36:25all for victoria
00:36:30at 10 17 pm she started bleeding at 10 20 i took out the document i made her sign her
00:36:36hands were shaking
00:36:38she could not write blood soaked the paper at 10 50 she finished signing i called then i waited 47
00:36:48minutes after
00:36:49i hung up i did not call again alistair i'm pregnant please take me to the hospital now is not
00:37:02the time for
00:37:03this i'm begging you please sign this and i'll arrange for the hospital immediately you still want me to sign
00:37:14the accident is already open victoria did not go to prison take the fall first and i'll cover
00:37:20everything the bail the lawyers the hospital if you don't sign no one is coming for you tonight
00:37:25and the hospital won't prioritize you the doctor said surgery i said no too risky
00:37:36cancel the surgery you're gonna kill our own flesh and blood just for victoria
00:37:41as long as you take the fall for the accident we can have other children
00:37:46but victoria's reputation is vital to her she cannot have a criminal record
00:37:52i chose it no ambulance no surgery she had to sign first
00:38:03even the fall that sent her to the hospital
00:38:06that was because of me too chloe don't push me once you leave your print this all ends tonight
00:38:16let go you're hurting me
00:38:23every step was me it was her she was driving she killed that person she begged me to save her
00:38:32yes it was her she drove a wedge between us she nailed in front of me saying her career her
00:38:37name
00:38:37her future were over she cried that only chloe could save her i'm saying you should know your place
00:38:41so what if you're his wife you live in his house enter his office i sit on his sofa and
00:38:47he pours my
00:38:48drinks himself
00:38:52exactly if it were not for victoria why would chloe have been pushed that far why would i have forced
00:38:56chloe why would i have lost our baby that is right it was all because of her i need to
00:39:01find her now
00:39:07mr sterling was so easy to fool one perfectly staged elevator malfunction one perfectly timed
00:39:13twisted ankle and he believed i was his destined soul mate that old money type is arrogant and naive
00:39:18to the bone i played the independent self-made woman for him all these years for exactly this
00:39:23sooner or later every sterling group asset will carry the thorn name
00:39:27as for the baby losing that common girl's child was good for me an air with ordinary blood would
00:39:32only dilute the sterling fortune

00:53:16i am fine you have been busy lately and i have already caused you enough trouble
00:53:21call me if anything happens
00:53:25i will
00:53:26I don't know.
00:53:56Do not move. We only want your hand.
00:54:04How much did Victoria pay you? I will double it!
00:54:09Save it, Mrs. Sterling. We get paid to do a job and we follow rules.
00:54:23Alistair!
00:54:26Stop!
00:54:31Alistair, you said you would disappear from my world. Why did you come back?
00:54:36How did this happen? Do not scare me like this.
00:54:40You are safe. Thank God you are safe.
00:54:56Are you okay? Did they hurt your hand?
00:55:02I need to report a crime. South parking lot of the Vienna Concert Hall. Armed assault, attempted intentional injury, the
00:55:08suspect is restrained. Also, this involves cross-border crime and a federal felony state voting case in New York came
00:55:13three years ago. I have the full chain of evidence.
00:55:18Watch him. Do not let anyone near him.
00:55:31Chloe is going to be okay.
00:55:42Doctor, how is he?
00:55:51The patient has lost too much blood. His blood pressure is barely detectable. He needs an emergency transfusion, but...
00:55:58But what?
00:56:01He is RH negative. The blood bank has no supply. His condition is critical, and we must find a matching
00:56:07donor immediately. We have contacted every nearby hospital and blood center, but...
00:56:12Take mine.
00:56:14What? Do you hear yourself? You are going to save him? The man who nearly destroyed you?
00:56:21Anonymous, do not record my name. Draw the blood, and I leave immediately. If you agree, I will sign now.
00:56:29Alright. Please sign the confidentiality agreement and consent form here. She really signed it.
00:56:41Why? He pushed you into hell and made you lose everything! Have you forgotten the baby?
00:56:48I am not saving him. I just... do not want to owe him a life. Three years ago, he gave
00:56:54me a home, then destroyed me with his own hands. Now I give him my blood back. From this moment
00:56:58on, we owe each other nothing.
00:57:02The stab wound is deep, and he lost a lot of blood. We saved him, but whether he wakes up,
00:57:07and when, depends on his will and recovery. The next 24 hours are critical.
00:57:11Wake up. You think taking that knife and bleeding like this makes us even? You think because you are lying
00:57:16here, I can forget my child? Forget every time you abandoned me for Victoria?
00:57:20I cannot forget. I cannot forget when the doctor told me the baby was gone, your signature was at the
00:57:26bottom of that document. So cold. So quick.
00:57:30What is this? You lying here? Repentance? Atonement? It is too late. My child is not coming back. The Chloe
00:57:36who once believed you in that practice room is not coming back either.
00:57:40Wake up. Look at me. I want you to see with your own eyes that without you, without the sterling
00:57:44name, I can still stand at the very top. I want you alive, fully awake, and remembering what you lost
00:57:50forever.
00:57:50Do not just die like this. You still owe me too much. You have to wake up.
00:58:02Allistern, you heard me. You are awake, are you not? Allistern!
00:58:09Direct flight to Zurich. Leaves in two hours. The studio and apartment there are ready.
00:58:15News just came from the States. Victoria's extradition is complete. She is being flown back this afternoon under escort.
00:58:21Federal felony?
00:58:22Multiple charges, including attempted murder, cross-border murder for here, and financial fraud. With stacked sentences, she is never getting
00:58:28out.
00:58:29Got it.
00:58:30That is your reaction? She almost ruined your life and-
00:58:33Hate takes energy. I do not have any left, and I do not want to waste it here.
00:58:40You could even save her.
00:58:44I saved myself. From now on, I owe them nothing.

00:59:10Chloe.. Darling, what time is it?
00:59:13When did you change the bedroom like this?
00:59:15No. This is a hospital.
00:59:18Why am I in a hospital?
00:59:22Mr. Sterling, please do not move.
00:59:25I am fine. Where is Chloe? Where am I?
00:59:29Mr. Sterling, this is the ICU. You were stabbed and have been unconscious for four days.
00:59:33No. I clearly remember us watching the city lights on the rooftop last night.
00:59:38Sir, you need to lie down. You had internal bleeding and just came out of surgery.
00:59:42You need complete bed rest. Miss Chloe Sterling is not here.
00:59:47Not here? Where did she go?
00:59:49I heard she went to Zurich.
00:59:53Zurich? For work? Why did I not know?
00:59:58I do not know the details. I only heard she left.
01:00:01Maybe it is just a last minute performance. Or she did not tell me because she wanted to surprise me.
01:00:08When is she coming back?
01:00:09I really do not know.
01:00:11No. No. What is this feeling? It feels like I lost her. What the hell happened?
01:00:21Gloria already said she didn't mean it. Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
01:00:25I wrote every single note of this myself. This is two years of my hard work.
01:00:29Allison, you know that better than anyone.
01:00:31Hard work?
01:00:33Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing? This score? Or the status you built using it as a prop?
01:00:38A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate.
01:00:44Who are you trying to impress with this wrong woman addict?
01:00:47Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the
01:00:53top?
01:00:57Cancel this surgery? You're going to kill our own Fletcher's lunches for Victoria?
01:01:01As long as you take the fall for the accident, we can have other children in the end.
01:01:07Why are these memories flooding my head? Where is Chloe? What did I do to her?
01:01:14Okay, okay, okay. Mr. Sterling, please calm down and stop thinking so hard. You need rest right now. You cannot
01:01:21get this agitated.
01:01:23Tell me, were those real? Did I do that to her?
01:01:28I... Please lie down first. I will get the doctor.
01:01:40The wound is healing well. No sign of infection. But the blood loss left you very weak. You need time
01:01:46to recover.
01:01:47Blood loss?
01:01:48Yes. When you were admitted, your condition was critical. Acute massive bleeding, hemogyme at a dangerous level. We performed an
01:01:54emergency transfusion.
01:01:55You were lucky. Someone volunteered to donate blood and saved your life.
01:01:59Who?
01:02:00I am sorry, Mr. Sterling. The donor signed a strict confidentiality agreement. We are not authorized to disclose that.
01:02:10Alistin, look! We have the same blood type. What are the odds?
01:02:13It is rare. The odds feel like fate.
01:02:16So if anything ever happens to either of us, the other can be their blood bank, right?
01:02:20I'm not saying lucky things, but yes, I will protect you any way I can.
01:02:27Chloe was here. Was Chloe not? The donor, was it Chloe?
01:02:31I cannot answer questions about visitors. You need rest.
01:02:36Tell me!
01:02:37Mr. Sterling, please calm down. Any information about the donor is legally protected.
01:02:48Mr. Sterling, there is an update on Ms. Thorne. The extradition process is complete. She was put on a flight
01:02:55back to New York under police escort this morning.
01:02:58When?
01:02:58Three days ago. The day after your surgery. Also, Chloe. The afternoon after Alistair's surgery ended and Alistair was confirmed
01:03:05out of danger, Chloe boarded a flight and left destination Zurich.
01:03:09Mr. Brody cook up Chloe's manager. Pumbrick released releg of Chloe's Odo tour schedule.
01:03:12That afternoon?
01:03:13Yes. Flight records show takeoff at 4.15 p.m.
01:03:17She gave blood and left without looking back. Should I contact Mrs. Sterling or try to obtain the details of
01:03:24her tour?
01:03:25No. She was right to leave.
01:03:29Court the crime, testify, donate blood, leave. Every step was calculated. Clean. She thinks even hating me is a waste.
01:03:36Court the crime,click up nouvelle. Come on, so please be detailed.
01:03:36You
