Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Brenna Barrett. For 20 years, I believed I was this family's daughter.
00:00:09That all changed today, when they found their real daughter.
00:00:12I finally realized I was nothing but a tool to them.
00:00:16Brenna, why must it come to this?
00:00:18We found our biological daughter, but that doesn't mean you have to leave.
00:00:23Take this money. Your biological parents are dirt poor.
00:00:26I doubt they can even send a car to pick you up.
00:00:28There's probably no more than $1,000 in that envelope.
00:00:31That's what 20 years in this family is worth.
00:00:36No need. They have already sent a car.
00:00:39Brenna, what's with that attitude?
00:00:41We raised you for 20 years, and you can't even say thank you?
00:00:45Mom, don't blame her. She never even finished elementary school.
00:00:49What manners could she possibly have?
00:00:51Right. I never finished elementary school.
00:00:55Because when I was 10, they forced me to stay home drawing blueprints, turning me into their money-making machine.
00:01:02Your wealth.
00:01:03Your company.
00:01:05The reason you're where you are today.
00:01:09All of it is because of my designs.
00:01:11Nonsense! The Barrett family's success is built on our own hard work.
00:01:17Goodbye.
00:01:18I turn and leave.
00:01:21My backpack hangs on my shoulder.
00:01:23I don't look back.
00:01:25Brenna, wait!
00:01:26I have a parting gift for you.
00:01:29This bracelet costs over $100,000.
00:01:33If things get tough, you can sell it for emergencies.
00:01:39I don't need it.
00:01:42Just as she forces it into my hands, her fingers hook the chain, peeking out from my backpack side pocket.
00:01:51Brenna!
00:01:52Brenna! How dare you steal my necklace?
00:01:55That's my engagement necklace from Geordi.
00:01:58Worth $1,800,000.
00:02:01I see the sly glint flashing through Isabella's eyes.
00:02:04This was a trap she set.
00:02:06She's been waiting for me to jump in.
00:02:07And that so-called gift is the fuse that's about to ignite everything.
00:02:11Brenna! How dare you steal my necklace?
00:02:14Brenna!
00:02:15Isabella's scream draws Alec and Ruby.
00:02:17They rush over, staring at the necklace in Isabella's hand, their faces filled with disappointment.
00:02:23Brenna, I offered you money, and you turned it down only to do this?
00:02:29She must have thought the money was too little, so she helped herself to something more valuable.
00:02:33I didn't steal the necklace.
00:02:35Then explain why it ended up in your bag.
00:02:37I stare at the necklace.
00:02:39The chain is thick, the stones are large, but the craftsmanship is crude.
00:02:43The cut and color matching are beneath standard.
00:02:47I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something this poorly made.
00:02:50Besides, when I packed my things in the attic, that necklace wasn't in my bag.
00:02:55It was you, Isabella, who slipped it in with your own hands.
00:02:59Shut up, you ungrateful brat!
00:03:01We raised you, and this is how you repay us?
00:03:05Mom!
00:03:11Though she stole my necklace and my design drafts,
00:03:13since we're family, I'll let this slide.
00:03:18I watch her wave a blue folder in the air, and I can't help but laugh.
00:03:25Those are my designs.
00:03:26A nuclear-powered cargo ship propulsion system.
00:03:29Take a good look.
00:03:30The title is written in Amlin's language.
00:03:32You never even finished elementary school.
00:03:35How could you possibly understand any of this?
00:03:38I hold the blueprints up to the light.
00:03:40In the lower right corner,
00:03:43my personal anti-counterfeit watermark faintly appears.
00:03:46This is my personal mark.
00:03:50Feel free to compare it to Isabella's designs.
00:03:54Hers are all garbage.
00:03:57Isabella!
00:04:00Isabella, I thought these were trash, so I threw them in the trash can.
00:04:05These are your design drafts.
00:04:07The air pleases.
00:04:09I look at Alec's ashen face and suddenly feel a deep, bitter irony.
00:04:14They never knew.
00:04:15I've long stopped being that little girl they could push around.
00:04:18When I walk out of the Barrett house, my phone buzzes.
00:04:22It's a message from someone claiming to be my sister.
00:04:25She says the family is tied up with work and wants me to go to Flavor Restaurant first.
00:04:30The most exclusive establishment in Shire, with a minimum spend of $10,000.
00:04:36Excuse me, are you Miss Brenna Harper?
00:04:40The lady from the Harper family waited for over an hour but had to leave for an urgent matter.
00:04:45The dishes are all served.
00:04:46Please enjoy.
00:04:48A table full of dishes spreads before me.
00:04:51I sit alone at a large round table that can seat six.
00:04:56I thought this was the first warmth for my biological family.
00:05:01Miss, could you please settle the bill?
00:05:04The total is $109,800.
00:05:07If you fail to pay, I'll have no choice but to call the police.
00:05:17You can't even afford a meal and you dare to come to a place like this?
00:05:21How about this?
00:05:23Kneel down and polish my shoes.
00:05:24I'll pay your bill for you.
00:05:28Sylvie Higgins, Vivian Morrison, two rich girls in haute couture and flawless makeup.
00:05:36Who are you?
00:05:37Who are you?
00:05:37I don't know you.
00:05:40Who we are doesn't matter.
00:05:43What matters is that you don't belong here.
00:05:50Vivian raises her hand.
00:05:52I see the undeguised malice in her eyes.
00:05:56A hand grabs her wrist from behind.
00:05:59The man is Ethan Mitchell.
00:06:01The world's richest man, head of the Mitchell group.
00:06:04How dare you cause trouble at Flavor Restaurant?
00:06:07He's the kind of man who calls the shots and she rear.
00:06:12Mr. Mitchell?
00:06:15Mr. Mitchell, the person who instructed the waitress and these two ladies to cause trouble is Rosie Harper.
00:06:21Now tell me, how dare you bully my fiancé?
00:06:25The entire restaurant falls silence in an instant.
00:06:29I stare at this devastatingly handsome man.
00:06:32Only one thought in my mind.
00:06:35Since when did I become his fiancé?
00:06:38Rosie Harper is my real parent's niece.
00:06:40When she walks in from the entrance, a sweet smile is still plastered on her face.
00:06:45She sees Ethan first.
00:06:47Then me.
00:06:49Ethan, what are you doing here?
00:06:51Rosie, explain.
00:06:54Why do this waitress and these two ladies all say you were the one who instructed them to pick on
00:06:58Brenna?
00:07:00Me?
00:07:01How could I possibly do something like that?
00:07:03Brenna is my cousin.
00:07:05Rosie, I have your transfer records.
00:07:07You paid me $5,000 to demand payment from Brenna.
00:07:10I also have our chat logs to prove it.
00:07:12Every transfer record and chat logs is highlighted in red.
00:07:15Sylvie and Vivian both avert their eyes from Rosie.
00:07:19Mr. Mitchell, the private room at Flavor Restaurant has surveillance.
00:07:23Miss Rosie remained there for over an hour during which she repeatedly called the waitress.
00:07:27And these two ladies, the timestamps and call records aligned perfectly with the sequence of events.
00:07:32I'm sorry, Brenna.
00:07:33I was just trying to play a prank.
00:07:35I never meant to actually hurt you.
00:07:36A prank?
00:07:38You ordered over $100,000 worth of food and had a waitress force a person who was just kicked out
00:07:42of her home to pay.
00:07:43If Ethan hadn't come, I'd be at the police station right now.
00:07:47Sylvie Higgins, Vivian Morrison.
00:07:49On behalf of Mitchell Group, I am formally informing you.
00:07:52All our collaborations with Higgins Group and Morrison Group are terminated.
00:07:56Effective today.
00:07:57Sylvie's and Vivian's faces turn as white as paper.
00:07:59They know Ethan's punishment is a devastating blow to their families.
00:08:03All because they came here today and humiliated me.
00:08:07Rosie, you're a Harper, so I'll let this go today.
00:08:10But if you make things difficult for Brennan again, I won't hold back.
00:08:13I promise this won't happen again.
00:08:16She lifts her head and gives Ethan a faint smile.
00:08:19But as she passes by me, I hear her whisper.
00:08:24You think this is over?
00:08:26This is only the beginning.
00:08:32The farce finally ends.
00:08:37Get in.
00:08:38I'll take you home.
00:08:44I get into a Rolls Royce driven by the world's richest man.
00:08:47The leather seats are soft.
00:08:51Thank you for helping me today.
00:08:53How about treating me to a meal?
00:08:55The world's richest man wants me to treat him to a meal.
00:08:59I can't help but laugh.
00:09:03He pulls out his phone to exchange contacts with me.
00:09:06I hesitate for a moment, but give in.
00:09:10The car smoothly enters an affluent neighborhood.
00:09:14My heartbeat quickens without me realizing it.
00:09:17Did you know there's a marriage arrangement between the Mitchell and Harper families?
00:09:21A marriage arrangement?
00:09:22I turn to look at him.
00:09:24He's gripping the steering wheel,
00:09:25and the profile of his face under the streetlights is like a perfect sculpture.
00:09:30It was arranged by my grandfather and yours.
00:09:32A son of the Mitchell family is to marry a daughter of the Harper family.
00:09:35For the past two years, my grandfather has been urging me to fulfill this promise.
00:09:38But I never took it seriously until I met you.
00:09:42Are you saying you want to marry me?
00:09:44Brenna, I want you to consider it.
00:09:45Marry me.
00:09:47The world's richest man is proposing to me.
00:09:49No flowers, no ring, no bended knee.
00:09:57I need to think about it.
00:09:59Fine.
00:10:00I'll wait for your answer.
00:10:03The car stops in front of a magnificent estate.
00:10:06Ethan's car disappears around the corner.
00:10:08I turn around and face the enormous iron gate.
00:10:12The Barretts told me my biological parents lived in a poor, remote village.
00:10:17Yet this estate is clearly in the most expensive part of Shiri.
00:10:23I take a deep breath and press the doorbell.
00:10:25It rings three times.
00:10:27No one comes.
00:10:30The July sun beats down on me.
00:10:32Sweat drips down my forehead.
00:10:34They said they'd send someone to pick me up.
00:10:36Yet they won't even let me through the gate.
00:10:39It seems my real family doesn't care about me at all.
00:10:46Who are you looking for?
00:10:49I'm the daughter the Harper family lost 20 years ago.
00:10:52Impossible.
00:10:53Rosie personally went to pick up Brenna.
00:10:56They should be arriving together.
00:10:57Did you hear the news and decided to impersonate her?
00:11:00I am Brenna Harper.
00:11:03Look at what you're wearing.
00:11:04You're dressed worse than us servants.
00:11:06How could the Harper family's eldest daughter dress like this?
00:11:08I stare at this middle-aged woman in a housekeeper's uniform.
00:11:11There isn't a shred of respect in her eyes.
00:11:14What's all the racket?
00:11:15Has Brenna come home?
00:11:17A man with gray streaked hair steps out of the elevator.
00:11:20His steps are steady and his gaze pauses on my face.
00:11:24I'm your uncle, Abelson Harper.
00:11:27You look exactly like your mother.
00:11:28I recognized you at first glance.
00:11:30Come in.
00:11:35Wow.
00:11:37My uncle leads me through the enormous living room.
00:11:40Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with sunlight.
00:11:43Your room is on the third floor, the one on the east side.
00:11:46It's been kept for you since the day you were taken.
00:11:50A suite that's 150 square meters.
00:11:52Separate living room, bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom.
00:11:57Bigger than all the rooms in the Barrett house combined.
00:12:03I don't know what to say.
00:12:05A corner of my heart is slowly softening.
00:12:08She's dressed worse than us servants.
00:12:10Just because her face resembles Mrs. Harper's,
00:12:13she gets to be the eldest daughter of the Harper family?
00:12:16Only Rosie deserves this family.
00:12:18I won't let anyone take away what belongs to her.
00:12:23I peel off the clothes soaked through with sweat and step into the shower.
00:12:27The moment the hot water hits me, I nearly cry.
00:12:31At the Barrett's, I could only use the cold water left after they were done.
00:12:37I turn off the water and come out wrapped in a towel, but the bed is empty.
00:12:41My clothes and backpack are gone.
00:12:43Brenna!
00:12:45Brenna, Mrs. Harper didn't prepare any clothes for you.
00:12:47I took your clothes to be washed.
00:12:49This is an old dress of Rosie's.
00:12:51You'll have to make do for now.
00:12:52I stare at the wrinkled black dress.
00:12:55Sweat stains on the collar.
00:12:57Loose threads on the cuffs.
00:12:58Clearly worn and unwashed.
00:13:00She took everything I had and gave me someone else's dirty hand-me-down.
00:13:04She did this on purpose.
00:13:06Take it away.
00:13:07I'm not wearing that.
00:13:09Brenna, don't be so ungrateful.
00:13:11You can't go to dinner wrapped in a towel, can you?
00:13:15Her face shows undisguised satisfaction.
00:13:17She leaves, leaving behind that ragged dress.
00:13:24Just as I sit on the edge of the bed, wondering what to do next, the doorbell rings.
00:13:32Brenna, your M&G order has arrived.
00:13:35Fifty-three pieces in total, worth thirty million dollars.
00:13:37You've made a mistake.
00:13:39The Harper family's daughter is Rosie.
00:13:41Take all of this to her walk-in closet.
00:13:45Leave them.
00:13:46They're all mine.
00:13:49Brenna.
00:13:50These clothes total thirty million dollars.
00:13:53Can you even afford them?
00:13:55You're mistaken.
00:13:55This is M&G's elite collection.
00:13:57Every piece is one of kind.
00:13:58Each garment is worth over five million dollars.
00:14:00Besides, these are all gifts from Brenna's friend, the founder of M&G.
00:14:03Not a single cent needs to be paid.
00:14:05I watch Rachel's face shift from smugness to shock, then to anger.
00:14:09Rosie Harper, you sent your servant to humiliate me, but you forgot one thing.
00:14:15I have never been someone you can push around.
00:14:20At six in the evening, the Harper family members start returning home.
00:14:23I change into the beige, floral M&G dress and head downstairs.
00:14:27Rosie is sitting on the sofa, and the moment she sees me, a flash of hostility crosses her eyes.
00:14:33Here, Brenna.
00:14:34I made you some ice cream.
00:14:39Brenna!
00:14:40How could you do this to me?
00:14:42I was kind enough to offer you ice cream, and you threw it all over me!
00:14:47Grandpa!
00:14:48Aunt Giselle!
00:14:49Look at me!
00:14:50This dress is brand new, and now it's ruined!
00:14:54Rosie rushes over, tears already streaming down her face.
00:14:58Before you scold me, please take a look at this.
00:15:01I pull out my phone and pull up the restaurant's surveillance footage.
00:15:04In the recording, Rosie smugly ordering the waitress to demand payment from me early is crystal clear.
00:15:10Rosie, I am so disappointed in you.
00:15:13Apologize to Brenna.
00:15:16Now.
00:15:17I'm sorry, Brenna.
00:15:18I shouldn't have played that prank.
00:15:22I look at Rosie.
00:15:23Her head bowed.
00:15:24Her apology is perfunctory.
00:15:28Giselle walk to my side and take my hand.
00:15:30Mom owes you too much.
00:15:33From now on, I won't let anyone bully you.
00:15:37I look at Giselle's reddening eyes.
00:15:39In 20 years at the Barretts, I've never felt this kind of warmth.
00:15:42The dinner table is covered in exquisite dishes.
00:15:45The air is filled with the aroma of black truffles and roasted meat.
00:15:50Brenna, I'm your father, Shepard Harper.
00:15:54And this is your mother, Giselle.
00:15:56He's the chairman of Harper Group.
00:15:58His eyes are gentle, but carry an unquestionable authority.
00:16:03Brenna, this is your eldest brother, Ernst.
00:16:07He manages the daily operations of Harper Group and is the company's vice president.
00:16:11I look at all these unfamiliar faces, some warm, some cold.
00:16:16I don't know how to respond.
00:16:18I'm their family, but this is my first time sharing a meal with them.
00:16:23I heard you only attended elementary school for four years.
00:16:26Even if you struggled, you should have at least finished elementary school.
00:16:30If you hadn't come back to the Harper family, how would you survive?
00:16:35The entire table falls silent in an instant.
00:16:38All eyes focus on me and Ernst.
00:16:43You think I dropped out by choice?
00:16:46It was the Barretts' decision.
00:16:47They saw my design talent and stopped me from going to school.
00:16:51Forcing me to draw blueprints to earn money for them.
00:16:59His eyes are cold, a faint trace of mockery at the corner of his lips.
00:17:04I set down my fork.
00:17:06It seems this family dinner is far from the simple affair I thought it would be.
00:17:10I will prove myself.
00:17:12But not now.
00:17:14Not here.
00:17:16I stand up and leave.
00:17:18Whispers rise behind me, but I don't look back.
00:17:22Actually, I'm going out tonight.
00:17:24Someone referred a patient to me, offering $10 million.
00:17:28It's more than enough for me to establish myself in the Harper family.
00:17:32I arrive as the last disciple of the legendary Dr. Cuthbert Pierce
00:17:36to treat a retired military commander, Vincent Mitchell.
00:17:40What I don't expect is that he's Ethan's grandfather.
00:17:43You're Dr. Pierce's last disciple?
00:17:45You've got to be kidding me.
00:17:46How old are you?
00:17:47Barely 20?
00:17:48Lindsay Cohen, an attending physician at this hospital who made department head in her early 30s.
00:17:54She looks at me with contempt.
00:17:55Young lady, do you even know who's lying in there?
00:17:58A retired military commander.
00:18:00Even experts like us aren't qualified to treat him.
00:18:03Who do you think you are?
00:18:05Landon Scott, a senior internal medicine specialist who's been in the field for over 20 years.
00:18:10He hasn't even asked my name and already decided I'm a fraud.
00:18:13We're waiting for Dr. Pierce's last disciple.
00:18:16Someone at least in their 40s.
00:18:18Experienced.
00:18:19Highly skilled.
00:18:20How could it be you?
00:18:22If you can actually treat the old commander, we'll apologize to you.
00:18:26Deal.
00:18:29I walk away and sit down on a chair in the corridor.
00:18:32If not for money, I wouldn't waste a second on these people.
00:18:36Ethan, where's Dr. Pierce's disciple?
00:18:38It's been over half an hour already.
00:18:41Theo Mitchell, Ethan's cousin.
00:18:43He's on the phone with Ethan.
00:18:45I glance at my watch.
00:18:46Christopher should be out of surgery soon.
00:18:48He's Dr. Pierce's grandson and my classmate from medical school.
00:18:52Only he can verify my identity.
00:18:54I watch the operating room doors at the end of the corridor.
00:18:58The doors finally open.
00:19:00Brenna?
00:19:01Why are you sitting out here?
00:19:03Shouldn't you be inside treating Mr. Vincent?
00:19:05Your colleague said I'm a fraud.
00:19:07They kicked me out.
00:19:08What?
00:19:09Christopher's face flushes red in an instant.
00:19:12He turns around and glares at the group of doctors.
00:19:15Dr. Pierce?
00:19:17You know her?
00:19:19Of course.
00:19:20She's my grandfather's last disciple.
00:19:22You kicked her out as a fraud?
00:19:25Impossible.
00:19:26She's so young.
00:19:27My grandfather takes disciples based on talent, not age.
00:19:31Brenna earned dual master's degrees in medicine and mechanical engineering
00:19:35from Norview University at 18.
00:19:38And you chased away the only one who can actually save Mr. Vincent.
00:19:43Christopher pulls me back towards the hospital room.
00:19:46The doctors who were so arrogant moments ago now can't even look me in the eye.
00:19:53Everyone, this is Dr. Pierce's last disciple, Dr. Brenna Harper.
00:19:59No one speaks.
00:20:01I turn around and push open the door to Vincent's hospital room.
00:20:05Before me, the old man on the bed is barely conscious.
00:20:07His left side is completely paralyzed, his mouth drooping.
00:20:11His eyes are clouded.
00:20:12This is the most difficult kind of post-cerebral hemorrhage case.
00:20:15Outside, those people are still murmuring about me.
00:20:18They believe a young woman like me can't possibly have real skill.
00:20:22Brenna, I believe in you.
00:20:23Ethan stands behind me.
00:20:25He's the only one who never questioned me.
00:20:28I take out the syringes from my medical kit
00:20:30and precisely locate seven nerve targets on Vincent's neck and left side limbs.
00:20:35Each medication formula is my own.
00:20:37Dosage, sequence, injection depth, off by a single millimeter and it fails.
00:20:43The room is quiet.
00:20:45Everyone holds their breath.
00:20:50My grandfather moves.
00:20:52It's only been minutes.
00:20:54But just as I'm about to leave,
00:20:56three uninvited guests suddenly burst through the door.
00:20:58Brenna, you wretched girl!
00:21:01You never even finished elementary school
00:21:03and you dare to impersonate a doctor here?
00:21:05Mr. Mitchell, you've all been deceived by her.
00:21:08We're the Barretts who adopted her.
00:21:10We know exactly what kind of person she is.
00:21:12Tell the Mitchell family the truth right now.
00:21:17I have no ties to the Barretts family anymore.
00:21:19Please leave.
00:21:20How could you say that?
00:21:22I'm your adoptive father.
00:21:24If you get into trouble,
00:21:26the Barretts family will suffer too.
00:21:30Mr. Mitchell, don't let her fool you.
00:21:33She's been sneaky and lazy since she was a child.
00:21:36I stare at Ruby's twisted face.
00:21:39You forced me to drop out when I was ten,
00:21:41keeping me home to draw blueprints for money.
00:21:43I designed for over ten hours a day.
00:21:45When did you ever let me study?
00:21:47That was to train you.
00:21:49Without our training,
00:21:50would you be where you are today?
00:21:52Enough.
00:21:53Neville, escort the Barrett family out.
00:21:56What are you doing?
00:21:57Don't touch me!
00:21:58Brenna, you're so ungrateful!
00:22:00Brenna, just you wait!
00:22:02You'll regret this!
00:22:06The Barretts are dragged out by security.
00:22:09Ruby's shrieks echoing through the corridor,
00:22:11but I feel nothing in my heart.
00:22:13Are you okay?
00:22:16I'm fine.
00:22:19I've been used to it for a long time.
00:22:22From now on, this won't happen again.
00:22:25Ethan stands in front of me.
00:22:27His presence somehow makes me feel safe.
00:22:29For the first time,
00:22:30I think having someone stand by my side
00:22:32might not be a bad idea.
00:22:37After the Barretts are taken away,
00:22:38the room falls again a quiet.
00:22:40But those doctors look embarrassed.
00:22:46Dr. Harper, please,
00:22:48don't hold it against me.
00:22:49I already bowed to you.
00:22:51Can we just let this go?
00:22:53You need to apologize to me.
00:22:55You!
00:22:57If you have a problem with that,
00:22:59I can have the hospital director come and mediate.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:05Please forgive me.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:16I shouldn't have judged you by your appearance.
00:23:19Okay.
00:23:20This is the end of it.
00:23:21I want more than just an apology.
00:23:23I need them to understand
00:23:24I am not someone anyone can walk all over.
00:23:33Dr. Harper, please,
00:23:35come here.
00:23:37Come here.
00:23:41Thank you for saving me.
00:23:43Mr. Vincent,
00:23:44you're welcome.
00:23:45Over the next month,
00:23:46you'll recover gradually.
00:23:49Vincent lifts his hand and grasps mine.
00:23:52He places my hand into Ethan's palm.
00:23:54His mouth curls up slightly.
00:23:56And he tightens his grip on my hand.
00:24:02Grandpa, don't worry.
00:24:04Once you've fully recovered,
00:24:05we'll get married.
00:24:07Ethan and I walk out of the hospital room.
00:24:10I notice the Barretts are still there.
00:24:13The moment Ruby sees me,
00:24:15she immediately puts on a fawning smile.
00:24:18Brenna,
00:24:18look at how outstanding you are.
00:24:21Isn't that all thanks to how we raised you?
00:24:23Mr. Mitchell,
00:24:25everything Brenna has today
00:24:26is all thanks to the Barrett family.
00:24:29Her real parents are poor.
00:24:30They could never have given her this.
00:24:32I stare at Ruby.
00:24:34The light of calculation glimmers in her eyes.
00:24:37She thinks if she lashes on to the Mitchell family,
00:24:39the Barretts can rise again.
00:24:42Everything Barrett group has today
00:24:44came from my contributions.
00:24:47I owe you nothing.
00:24:48Brenna!
00:24:49You're an ungrateful wretch!
00:24:51Just you wait!
00:24:53Ruby's face finally tears away its mask.
00:24:55Her eyes are full of resentment,
00:24:57but I no longer care.
00:25:08Ethan offers me a ride,
00:25:10so we hop into his car.
00:25:17Has this seat been occupied by many people?
00:25:20No.
00:25:21My passenger seat is reserved for you.
00:25:25And from now on,
00:25:28only you.
00:25:28My heart skips a beat.
00:25:30His words are so blunt
00:25:31that I don't know how to respond.
00:25:35The moment we step out of the car,
00:25:38Rosie hushes over in her high heels.
00:25:40Ethan, you're here!
00:25:41Come help me.
00:25:42Do these clothes look good on me?
00:25:43She ignores me completely
00:25:45and leans close to Ethan.
00:25:47I'm here to drop off Brenna.
00:25:49Oh!
00:25:50Brenna, your mother ordered
00:25:51some clothes for you.
00:25:52I picked out a few for myself.
00:25:53You don't mind, right?
00:25:54I glance at the new clothes
00:25:55hanging all over the living room.
00:25:57Rosie already has over 20 pieces
00:25:59draped over her arm.
00:26:00She leaves behind
00:26:00only what she didn't want.
00:26:02I don't mind.
00:26:03Take them all.
00:26:04My fiancé's wardrobe,
00:26:06I'll take care of it.
00:26:07No need for the Harper family
00:26:09to trouble themselves.
00:26:10Rosie's expression changes
00:26:12in an instant.
00:26:13The clothes in her hands
00:26:14drop to the floor.
00:26:16Fiancé?
00:26:17Ethan, you said
00:26:18she's your fiancé?
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:26Brenna and I
00:26:26will be engaged soon.
00:26:27Brenna,
00:26:28you've only been back
00:26:30for a few days.
00:26:31Why do you get
00:26:32what I've been yearning for
00:26:34over 10 years?
00:26:36I won't let you
00:26:37have your way.
00:26:39Ethan can only be mine.
00:26:50Erste, listen to me.
00:26:52Brenna doesn't deserve
00:26:53Ethan at all.
00:26:54What's wrong?
00:26:55Her mother ordered her
00:26:56a bunch of new clothes today.
00:26:58I picked out a few for myself.
00:27:00And she was upset.
00:27:02Ethan even announced in public
00:27:04that she's his fiancé.
00:27:06Ethan was supposed to be mine.
00:27:09But now,
00:27:10Brennan's been back
00:27:11only a few days
00:27:12and already snatched him away.
00:27:16Regarding the marriage arrangement,
00:27:18Ethan has never shown
00:27:19any interest in you.
00:27:21Don't flatter yourself.
00:27:23Stop dwelling on this.
00:27:25Why not think about
00:27:26how to manage the companies
00:27:27under your name?
00:27:28I come downstairs
00:27:29and happen to overhear
00:27:31their conversation.
00:27:33Ernst glances at me,
00:27:35his eyes still cold.
00:27:37Brenna,
00:27:38Rosie says Ethan announced
00:27:39in public that you're
00:27:40his fiancé.
00:27:41Is that true?
00:27:42Yes.
00:27:49You've only known each other
00:27:50for a few days.
00:27:53Why would he want
00:27:54to marry you?
00:27:54You can go ask him.
00:28:01Brenna,
00:28:02what right do you have
00:28:04to become Ethan's fiancé
00:28:05or inherit
00:28:06the Harper family's assets
00:28:07when you don't even
00:28:09have a college degree?
00:28:10Shepard's and
00:28:11DCRC expressions
00:28:12both shift.
00:28:13Only Rosie has
00:28:14a faint smile
00:28:15on her lips.
00:28:16Who told you
00:28:17I don't have a degree?
00:28:18I stand up
00:28:19and retrieve
00:28:20a document folder
00:28:20from my backpack.
00:28:22Inside are all
00:28:23my diplomas
00:28:23and award records.
00:28:25These are my
00:28:26dual master's degrees
00:28:27in mechanical engineering
00:28:28and finance
00:28:29from Norview University.
00:28:31These are all
00:28:32the awards I've won
00:28:33in international
00:28:33design competitions
00:28:35over the past
00:28:36five years.
00:28:39Fake, fake!
00:28:40They must be fake!
00:28:42Where would you
00:28:43get the money
00:28:44to study abroad?
00:28:45These have
00:28:45certificate numbers
00:28:46and official seals.
00:28:48You can verify
00:28:49them online.
00:28:50Dual master's degrees.
00:28:52Blana is awesome.
00:28:57My child,
00:28:58you suffered
00:28:59so much
00:28:59at the Barrett's house
00:29:00and still
00:29:01achieved all this.
00:29:03You've surpassed
00:29:04both your brothers.
00:29:08No way.
00:29:11How could someone
00:29:12who never even
00:29:13finished elementary
00:29:13school achieve
00:29:15something like this?
00:29:16Even if these
00:29:17certificates are genuine,
00:29:18it doesn't mean
00:29:19you can run
00:29:19Harper Group.
00:29:21Harper Group
00:29:21is holding
00:29:22an automotive design
00:29:23competition next month.
00:29:24If you win
00:29:25first place,
00:29:26I'll acknowledge
00:29:26your capability.
00:29:27And if I win
00:29:28first place,
00:29:29what do I get?
00:29:311% of Harper Group's
00:29:33shares.
00:29:34I'll raise it.
00:29:35If Blana wins,
00:29:36I'll also give her
00:29:371% of the shares.
00:29:38I want to compete too!
00:29:43If I win,
00:29:44those shares go to me.
00:29:46Rosie,
00:29:47you studied finance
00:29:49and management,
00:29:49not design.
00:29:51Why are you competing?
00:29:53I don't care!
00:29:54Why does she get
00:29:54so many shares
00:29:55just because she's back?
00:29:57I've been in the
00:29:58Harper family for 20 years
00:30:00and only got a
00:30:01measly half percent!
00:30:03Fine.
00:30:04If I lose,
00:30:05all the shares
00:30:06in my name go to you.
00:30:07I look at Ernst.
00:30:09He thinks I'm just
00:30:10putting on a brave front.
00:30:12But he doesn't know
00:30:13those years in Norville,
00:30:14the money I earned
00:30:16from design drafts,
00:30:17was more than Harper Group's
00:30:19annual profits.
00:30:21Brenna,
00:30:22there's an equestrian
00:30:23competition next Wednesday.
00:30:26A high-end social event.
00:30:28Do you want to go?
00:30:29Fine.
00:30:30I'll be there on time.
00:30:31Just wait.
00:30:33I'll humiliate you
00:30:34in front of all
00:30:35of Shiri's elite.
00:30:37Equestrian competition.
00:30:39Shira's largest race course.
00:30:41Million dollar membership
00:30:43threshold.
00:30:45A playground for the rich.
00:30:49Brenna?
00:30:51You actually came here.
00:30:53The Barretts are ruined,
00:30:54but you've latched
00:30:54onto a new man.
00:30:57Did Mr. Mitchell
00:30:58give you money for dresses?
00:30:59Isabella Barrett,
00:31:00the Barrett's real daughter.
00:31:02Jordy Barton,
00:31:03my snobbish ex-fiance.
00:31:06Do you dare compete?
00:31:08Oh, can you even ride?
00:31:10I've already signed up
00:31:11for the competition.
00:31:12I just didn't tell them.
00:31:21Brenna,
00:31:22this is Ethan's racehorse,
00:31:24Onyx.
00:31:24He's letting me ride him.
00:31:26Mr. Mitchell still cares
00:31:27about Rosie.
00:31:28Some woman is just
00:31:29a passing fancy.
00:31:32Sylvia and Vivian,
00:31:33Rosie's two friends
00:31:34who harassed me
00:31:35at the restaurant,
00:31:36look at me with disgust.
00:31:39Have you picked a horse?
00:31:41If you can't ride,
00:31:42falling off
00:31:43is no small thing.
00:31:45Ethan told me
00:31:46Onyx was meant for me.
00:31:47Rosie claims
00:31:48he let her ride him.
00:31:50She thinks
00:31:50snatching my horse
00:31:51guarantees her victory.
00:31:53Well,
00:31:54I will show her
00:31:54what I've got.
00:31:56I wonder which fool
00:31:57bet on you to win.
00:31:58It was me.
00:31:59I bet 10,000 stakes.
00:32:0120,000 each.
00:32:02200 million total.
00:32:03If I win,
00:32:04it multiplies
00:32:05ton for d'or.
00:32:06Betting on Alex!
00:32:0720,000 each!
00:32:08100 stakes!
00:32:10Isabella swipes
00:32:11her card gleefully.
00:32:12None of them know
00:32:13on this track
00:32:13there's a legend
00:32:14called Knight
00:32:15who's never lost.
00:32:17And I'm Knight.
00:32:19I choose a bay filly
00:32:20that has never competed.
00:32:27Miss,
00:32:28this horse
00:32:29has never been
00:32:29on a racetrack.
00:32:30Are you sure?
00:32:31This is the one.
00:32:37Geordi,
00:32:38I'm scared.
00:32:39These are Shiree's riders.
00:32:41A bunch of worthless trash.
00:32:43Knight!
00:32:44Come out!
00:32:45Don't be a coward!
00:32:46Alex Espinosa.
00:32:48An Orwell rider
00:32:49undefeated for two years.
00:32:51The starting gun fires.
00:32:53Nine horses bolt forward.
00:32:55Only one stays
00:32:56completely still.
00:32:58Go!
00:32:59You stupid horse!
00:33:00If you can't ride,
00:33:02get off!
00:33:04Isabella's horse
00:33:05finally moves
00:33:06by throwing her
00:33:07off its back.
00:33:08She collapses
00:33:09on the ground,
00:33:09face drenched in tears.
00:33:17My focus
00:33:18is not on her at all.
00:33:19The white figure ahead,
00:33:21Alex,
00:33:22the person
00:33:23you've been searching
00:33:24for so long,
00:33:25is right behind you.
00:33:34Sylvie and Vivian
00:33:35flank me
00:33:36from both sides.
00:33:37Geordi blocks me
00:33:38directly in front.
00:33:39They want Rosie
00:33:40to take first place,
00:33:41so I'm not allowed
00:33:43to overtake.
00:33:44Don't even think
00:33:45about passing!
00:33:49Brenna,
00:33:49a woman like you
00:33:51should stay
00:33:51in last place forever.
00:33:52Geordi swings
00:33:53his riding cop
00:33:54at my horse's eyes.
00:33:56I lean down
00:33:57and release
00:33:57the reins.
00:34:02Sweetheart,
00:34:04show them
00:34:04what you can do.
00:34:05The bay filly
00:34:06kicks hard
00:34:06and forces her way
00:34:08through a half-meter
00:34:09gap between
00:34:09Sylvie and Geordi.
00:34:11Both forces
00:34:12lose their footing.
00:34:13Both riders
00:34:13tumble to the ground.
00:34:23That girl
00:34:24is incredible!
00:34:45I cross the finish line.
00:34:47The scoreboard lights up.
00:34:50My time is identical to Alex's.
00:34:53I take off my helmet.
00:34:54My hair cascading down.
00:34:57Rosie stands in the stands.
00:34:59Her fists gripping the railing.
00:35:01She said a personal best.
00:35:03But only first place advances.
00:35:07She stares at my face on the big screen.
00:35:11She can't understand why I'm good at everything.
00:35:14I lead my bay filly back to the stables.
00:35:18Ethan stands there, immaculate in his suit.
00:35:24You're Knight.
00:35:29How did you find out?
00:35:31Alex has been searching for Knight for two years.
00:35:35Knight disappeared two years ago.
00:35:39And you, you were abroad for exactly two years.
00:35:43Rosie charges her horse toward me, hooves aimed at my back.
00:35:47Ethan wraps his arm around my waist and lifts me entirely off the ground.
00:35:52Oh my!
00:35:53Brenna, are you okay?
00:35:55I thought I could stop.
00:35:57Ethan, I didn't do it on purpose.
00:35:59You did it on purpose.
00:36:02Your hand struck your horse with the crop at the last moment.
00:36:10If you dare harm her again, I'll make you pay.
00:36:16Sylvia, I saved your life and this is how you treat me?
00:36:20Who asked you to save me?
00:36:23Disgusting!
00:36:25Don't touch me.
00:36:26I walk past them.
00:36:27They are both in miserable shape.
00:36:29Brenna, this is all your fault!
00:36:31You blocked me yourselves.
00:36:33Fell off your own horses and now you blame me?
00:36:37With that, I turn to leave.
00:36:40People like them aren't worth my attention.
00:36:44Alex finds out that I am knight.
00:36:47Knight.
00:36:49This round, I'll defeat you.
00:36:53Then let's wait and see.
00:36:55His gloved right hand gently strokes his ring.
00:37:00In Norview's underground races,
00:37:02some riders use concealed needles in their rings to cheat.
00:37:13Fourth lap.
00:37:15I'm only eight meters behind.
00:37:17He glances back.
00:37:19For the first time,
00:37:20panic flashes in his eyes.
00:37:23I lift my crop.
00:37:28Within half a lap,
00:37:30I catch up to him.
00:37:31I turn my head and flip him off.
00:37:34Goodbye, champion.
00:37:47I cross the finish line.
00:37:49A scream rings out behind me.
00:37:52Alex's white horse rears up on its philanta legs,
00:37:55brutally stomping down on its fallen rider.
00:37:58His right leg is twisted at an impossible angle.
00:38:01Blood seeps from the needle wound on the horse's back,
00:38:03staining the white coat red.
00:38:06Alex Espinoza is disqualified for using cruel methods to abuse his horse.
00:38:11He is permanently banned.
00:38:14The arena erupts.
00:38:15I take off my helmet.
00:38:17The Bay Philly winters and nuzzles my face.
00:38:21I walk into the living room,
00:38:23holding my equestrian champion trophy.
00:38:26Rosie sits on the sofa,
00:38:28a document before her.
00:38:31I remember we had a bet.
00:38:36You haven't congratulated me yet.
00:38:38That was just the beginning.
00:38:40The real event is the design competition.
00:38:43Rosie pushes the document towards me.
00:38:50This is a betting agreement.
00:38:53If you don't win first place,
00:38:55you give up everything.
00:38:56These conditions are aimed at me.
00:38:59What about you?
00:39:00Because you need to prove you're a Harper first.
00:39:02The DNA report isn't out.
00:39:04You look like your mom,
00:39:05but maybe you had plastic surgery.
00:39:12I think Rosie has a point.
00:39:15You should cooperate.
00:39:18Giselle walks down the stairs
00:39:23and takes the document.
00:39:25This agreement is completely unfair.
00:39:27I don't approve.
00:39:31Giselle tears the agreement to shreds.
00:39:34She suffered 20 years at the Barrett's house.
00:39:38Now that she's home,
00:39:40you still bully her?
00:39:43I'll draft it.
00:39:45This agreement must be fair.
00:39:47I watch them stand up for me.
00:39:49For the first time,
00:39:50someone has my back.
00:39:52If Brenna wins,
00:39:53she receives 4% of the shares
00:39:56and Erst resigns.
00:39:57If Rosie loses,
00:39:59all shares in her name
00:40:00transfer to Brenna.
00:40:01Why should I transfer my shares to her?
00:40:04Why should Brenna risk losing everything
00:40:07if she doesn't win
00:40:08while you walk away unscathed?
00:40:11This needs to be fair.
00:40:14Rosie bites her lip,
00:40:15her hand trembling.
00:40:16She glares at Shepard,
00:40:17the man who raised her for 20 years,
00:40:19now forcing her to sign
00:40:21such an agreement for his own daughter.
00:40:23Fine.
00:40:24I'll sign.
00:40:28Even if you win,
00:40:30Ethan won't be yours.
00:40:32The marriage arrangement
00:40:34is because our uncle
00:40:35saved Ethan's father.
00:40:37It should be Audrey
00:40:38who marries Ethan.
00:40:41I look into Rosie's eyes.
00:40:43I finally understand
00:40:44why she's hated me from the start.
00:40:47Not because of the assets,
00:40:49because of Ethan.
00:40:50Who Ethan likes is his business.
00:40:53And my business,
00:40:55is none of your concern.
00:40:57This is my friend,
00:40:58Dr. Hackadet Martinez,
00:41:00an attending physician
00:41:01at Doorhill Medical Plastic Surgery Hospital.
00:41:04He's here to examine Brenna
00:41:06with an outsider.
00:41:12Why should I cooperate with an outsider?
00:41:16No need to check.
00:41:19Dalton Harper,
00:41:20my second brother,
00:41:21a well-known celebrity.
00:41:23He walks down the stairs
00:41:24in casual clothes,
00:41:26phone in hand.
00:41:29I've invited Colt Guzman,
00:41:31one of the finest plastic surgeons
00:41:33in the country.
00:41:35Rosie,
00:41:36while I was away,
00:41:36this is how you treated my sister?
00:41:38I didn't.
00:41:39I was just...
00:41:41Enough.
00:41:42Dr. Guzman will be here soon.
00:41:45Whether Brenneth has had plastic surgery
00:41:47will be determined by him.
00:41:50Dalton walks over
00:41:51and gently puts his arm
00:41:52around my shoulders.
00:41:54The warmth of his palms
00:41:56seeps through the fabric
00:41:57and I feel moved.
00:41:59Brenna,
00:41:59these are for you.
00:42:00Dalton hauls over a dozen
00:42:02shopping bags from his car.
00:42:03Luxury skincare,
00:42:04designer bags,
00:42:06plush toys,
00:42:07gourmet snacks.
00:42:08He piles them before me,
00:42:09calling it an apology.
00:42:11Dalton!
00:42:12Where's my gift?
00:42:14Yours are in the car.
00:42:17Plush toys and flowers from fans.
00:42:19Why does Brenna get things you bought?
00:42:23She's my sister.
00:42:25You're my cousin.
00:42:27There's a difference.
00:42:29Don't you understand?
00:42:33After examination,
00:42:35I confirm Miss Brenna Harper
00:42:36has never undergone any plastic surgery.
00:42:42As for Miss Rosie Harper,
00:42:44nasal implant,
00:42:46eyelid surgery,
00:42:47and lip line adjustments,
00:42:49the traces are still obvious.
00:42:52Everyone turns to stare at Rosie's face.
00:42:54She covers her face
00:42:55and rolls up the stairs.
00:42:58DNA test!
00:42:59We have to do another one!
00:43:03The previous three
00:43:04were all your own samples!
00:43:07This time I'll collect
00:43:08the samples myself.
00:43:11Fine.
00:43:12If you insist,
00:43:14Rosie can fuss
00:43:14however she wants.
00:43:17That evening,
00:43:18Uncle Abelson
00:43:19calls me aside.
00:43:20Boxes are stacked
00:43:21beside him.
00:43:23Brenna,
00:43:24your aunt and I
00:43:25are moving out.
00:43:26Uncle Abelson,
00:43:27is it because
00:43:28I came home?
00:43:30Silly child,
00:43:31how could it be
00:43:32because of you?
00:43:33My kids are grown
00:43:35and it's time
00:43:36we had our own space.
00:43:38He gently rolls up
00:43:40his trouser leg.
00:43:41I see a metal prosthetic
00:43:42reflecting cold light.
00:43:43So he saved Ethan's father
00:43:45on the battlefield
00:43:45and lost a leg.
00:43:47For this family,
00:43:48he gave a limb.
00:43:48To make space for his niece,
00:43:50he moves out.
00:43:51Yet Rosie,
00:43:52for the sake of clothes
00:43:53and a man,
00:43:54stops at nothing.
00:43:55Through the crack
00:43:56in the walk-in closet door,
00:43:57I watched Rosie
00:43:58open my laptop
00:43:59once more.
00:44:00Password?
00:44:01The date she came home.
00:44:03Got it.
00:44:09The desktop is clean,
00:44:10only one folder.
00:44:12Competition design drafts.
00:44:13She inserts a USB drive
00:44:15and copies everything.
00:44:21Kennedy,
00:44:22take a look at these designs.
00:44:23What ranking could they achieve?
00:44:25These designs are definitely top line.
00:44:28They would likely be ranked
00:44:29in the top three.
00:44:33Even our most senior engineers
00:44:35couldn't create this alone.
00:44:37It would take a team.
00:44:41Rosie sits alone in the cafe,
00:44:43staring at those exquisite
00:44:44design drawings on the screen.
00:44:46She doesn't know,
00:44:47these aren't my competition entries.
00:44:49I deliberately left these drawings
00:44:51on my laptop,
00:44:52waiting for her to take the bait.
00:44:53This is the second time
00:44:55I've caught Rosie
00:44:56copying my files.
00:44:59I step out of the closet quietly
00:45:01and stand behind her.
00:45:03What are you doing on my laptop?
00:45:07I didn't take anything!
00:45:09I was just checking
00:45:09if you were here!
00:45:11I grab her wrist
00:45:12and pry the USB drive
00:45:13from her hand.
00:45:15She struggles desperately,
00:45:16but my grip is iron.
00:45:18What's going on here?
00:45:22Dalton!
00:45:23Brenna twisted my wrist
00:45:25and broke it!
00:45:26Look!
00:45:26It's swollen!
00:45:28Dalton takes Rosie's wrist
00:45:30and examines it.
00:45:31No redness,
00:45:32no swelling,
00:45:33bones completely intact.
00:45:34There's nothing there.
00:45:35Are you putting on another act?
00:45:37What's going on?
00:45:38what's going on?
00:45:43Erste!
00:45:44Brenna is trying to harm me!
00:45:46Brenna, you're cruel.
00:45:49She steals my designs.
00:45:51I catch her red-handed.
00:45:54This man is look at me
00:45:56like I'm a stranger.
00:45:58Though I'm his sister.
00:46:00I'm not his sister.
00:46:02I never was.
00:46:078 in the morning,
00:46:09the entire Harper family
00:46:10arrives at the forensic center.
00:46:12Rosie is more excited
00:46:14than anyone.
00:46:17Brenna,
00:46:18are you nervous?
00:46:19The results come out soon.
00:46:21If you're not my uncle's daughter,
00:46:24you have to return
00:46:25everything you've taken
00:46:27from the Harpers.
00:46:29Regardless of the results,
00:46:31my engagement to Brenna
00:46:33will not change.
00:46:34Ethan walks over,
00:46:37his fingers lightly brushing
00:46:39the back of my hand.
00:46:47The results are in.
00:46:53There's no biological
00:46:54father-daughter relationship
00:46:56between Brenna and Shepard, right?
00:47:05The first report,
00:47:06the sample submitted
00:47:08by Rosie Harper,
00:47:09shows no biological
00:47:10father-daughter relationship.
00:47:12Did you hear that?
00:47:14No blood relation.
00:47:15I told you she's a fraud.
00:47:17The staff member
00:47:17still has three more reports.
00:47:19Aren't you going to hear them out?
00:47:22The second,
00:47:23commissioned by Luther Harper.
00:47:24The third,
00:47:25commissioned by Ernst Harper.
00:47:26The fourth,
00:47:27commissioned by Shepard Harper.
00:47:28These three all confirm
00:47:30a biological father-daughter relationship
00:47:32between Brenna Harper
00:47:33and Shepard Harper.
00:47:38Impossible!
00:47:40This is impossible!
00:47:42Rosie,
00:47:42my sample.
00:47:44I personally pulled the hair
00:47:45from Brenna's head
00:47:46and sent it myself.
00:47:47Why are you so certain
00:47:48she isn't a Harper?
00:47:50Of the four tests,
00:47:52three affirm Brenna's lineage
00:47:53while only one contradict it.
00:47:55The only set that denies
00:47:57happens to be
00:47:58the one you submitted.
00:48:00Rosie,
00:48:01did you tamper
00:48:02with the samples?
00:48:04Rosie opens her mouth.
00:48:06Not a single word
00:48:07comes out.
00:48:11You were the one
00:48:12who took that sample
00:48:13directly from my hair.
00:48:15Why does it indicate
00:48:16I'm not a Harper?
00:48:19Did you tamper
00:48:20with the test?
00:48:26Miss Rosie Harper,
00:48:28what was your purpose
00:48:29in tampering
00:48:29with the samples?
00:48:30Were you trying
00:48:31to prevent Brenna
00:48:32from being recognized?
00:48:33I didn't.
00:48:35Brenna is my cousin.
00:48:36Why would I do that?
00:48:38I will host
00:48:39a grand welcome banquet
00:48:41for Brenna,
00:48:42inviting all of
00:48:43Shiri's elite.
00:48:47I watch Rosie flash
00:48:48her sweetest smile
00:48:49at the cameras.
00:48:50Her performance
00:48:51is really convincing.
00:48:58Kneel.
00:49:01Luther's cane
00:49:02strikes the floor tiles
00:49:03with a muffled thud.
00:49:05Rosie kneels.
00:49:07Grandpa,
00:49:08I was wrong.
00:49:10I was jealous of Brenna.
00:49:12I was afraid
00:49:13she'd take
00:49:14all your love.
00:49:18Brenna,
00:49:19please forgive me.
00:49:21I don't hate you.
00:49:24But I won't
00:49:25forgive you.
00:49:31Rosie lifts her head,
00:49:33a flash of venom
00:49:34crossing her eyes.
00:49:35Alec clutched
00:49:37that golden-brossed invitation,
00:49:38his hand trembling.
00:49:42An invitation
00:49:42from the Harper family.
00:49:44They're holding
00:49:45a welcome banquet
00:49:46and specifically
00:49:47want us there.
00:49:48The day Brenna left,
00:49:49her biological parents
00:49:51sent a car.
00:49:53Could it really be
00:49:54the Harpers?
00:49:55Isabella jumped up
00:49:56from the sofa.
00:49:57Impossible!
00:49:59Aren't her real parents
00:49:59from some poor backwater?
00:50:01I looked into it.
00:50:03The Harpers
00:50:04lost a daughter
00:50:0420 years ago.
00:50:06We adopted Brenna
00:50:07exactly 20 years ago.
00:50:10Then she's someone
00:50:11we can't afford
00:50:12to offend.
00:50:13We treated her
00:50:14like a servant,
00:50:15framed her for theft,
00:50:16and threw her out.
00:50:18She hates us.
00:50:20A cold,
00:50:21glint flash
00:50:21in Alec's eyes.
00:50:23We raised her
00:50:23for 20 years.
00:50:25She can't forget
00:50:26that debt,
00:50:26and neither
00:50:27can the Harpers.
00:50:28she can't.
00:50:33Dad,
00:50:34you really think
00:50:35she'll help us?
00:50:36She doesn't have
00:50:36a choice.
00:50:38If we lash
00:50:39onto the Harpers,
00:50:40we can turn
00:50:41our fortunes around.
00:50:44But what if she
00:50:45rejects us
00:50:45in front of everyone?
00:50:47We'll be
00:50:47a laughing stock,
00:50:49a menacing smile
00:50:50curled on Alec's lips.
00:50:52Then we'll beg her
00:50:54in front of all
00:50:54of Shuri's
00:50:55high society.
00:50:57If she dares
00:50:58refuse,
00:51:00she will be
00:51:00labeled ungrateful.
00:51:04Smart move,
00:51:05Dad.
00:51:07You're brilliant.
00:51:14Brenna?
00:51:15What are you
00:51:16doing here?
00:51:17Leave.
00:51:18The Harpers
00:51:18are Shire's
00:51:19top elite.
00:51:20You're not
00:51:21one of them.
00:51:22Don't embarrass
00:51:23yourself.
00:51:23We raised you
00:51:25for 20 years.
00:51:26Don't drag
00:51:27us down
00:51:27with you.
00:51:30Get out.
00:51:32Mac grabs
00:51:33my arm.
00:51:34Isabella shoves
00:51:34my back.
00:51:36Ruby clears
00:51:36the path.
00:51:41I take a deep
00:51:42breath,
00:51:43and with all
00:51:43my strength
00:51:44I shout,
00:51:54Mac releases
00:51:56my arm.
00:51:57Brenna,
00:51:58what's wrong?
00:51:59Who did this?
00:52:04Mr. Mitchell?
00:52:05Mrs. Harper?
00:52:07You know
00:52:08Brenna?
00:52:11Brenna is my
00:52:12daughter.
00:52:13What were you
00:52:14doing just
00:52:15now?
00:52:17She...
00:52:18She's your
00:52:19daughter?
00:52:20The Barretts
00:52:21are stunned.
00:52:23Isabella
00:52:23steps back.
00:52:25Ruby's mouth
00:52:26opens and closes
00:52:27like someone
00:52:28is choking
00:52:28her.
00:52:33Ethan looks
00:52:34at the Barretts.
00:52:35They keep
00:52:35apologizing,
00:52:36saying it was
00:52:37a misunderstanding.
00:52:38But the red
00:52:39marks on my
00:52:40arm haven't
00:52:41faded.
00:52:41Mr. Barretts,
00:52:43you stopped
00:52:44her from
00:52:44school,
00:52:45forced her
00:52:46to draw
00:52:46design drafts
00:52:47for money,
00:52:47and made
00:52:48her a servant.
00:52:49Now that
00:52:50she's home,
00:52:51you lay
00:52:51hands on
00:52:52her again?
00:52:55Mr. Mitchell,
00:52:56this is all
00:52:57a misunderstanding.
00:52:58Neville,
00:53:00escort the
00:53:00Barretts
00:53:00family out.
00:53:01Neville walks
00:53:02over with
00:53:03security.
00:53:04The Barretts
00:53:05are carried
00:53:05out.
00:53:13Brenna,
00:53:14I had
00:53:15these three
00:53:15dresses
00:53:15sent from
00:53:16Paris.
00:53:17Wear this
00:53:18one tonight.
00:53:20I change
00:53:21into the
00:53:21red gown.
00:53:25When the
00:53:25skirt spreads
00:53:26out,
00:53:27I catch a
00:53:28flash of
00:53:28admiration
00:53:29in his
00:53:29eyes.
00:53:35But the
00:53:36other two
00:53:36dresses on
00:53:37the
00:53:37rack.
00:53:37One drenched
00:53:38in red
00:53:39wine.
00:53:40Get out.
00:53:41The other
00:53:41with a zipper
00:53:42that just
00:53:42happened to
00:53:43break.
00:53:47Rosie stands
00:53:48at the
00:53:48door,
00:53:49a wine
00:53:49glass in
00:53:50her hand.
00:53:52I say
00:53:53nothing.
00:53:54She thinks
00:53:55ruining the
00:53:56backups will
00:53:56make me
00:53:57lose face.
00:54:00She's
00:54:00really stupid.
00:54:02I walk
00:54:03onto the
00:54:03stage in
00:54:03that red
00:54:04gown.
00:54:05The moment
00:54:06the lights
00:54:07hit me,
00:54:07the hall
00:54:08falls silent.
00:54:09Honored
00:54:10guests,
00:54:10this is my
00:54:11daughter,
00:54:12Brenna
00:54:12Harper.
00:54:14The guests
00:54:15burst into
00:54:16thunderous
00:54:17applause.
00:54:18Then I see
00:54:19Isabella
00:54:19heading toward
00:54:20the stage.
00:54:21Her eyes
00:54:21fixed on
00:54:22me,
00:54:22her expression
00:54:23off.
00:54:24Audrey
00:54:24quietly
00:54:25sticks out
00:54:25the
00:54:25foot.
00:54:27Oh my
00:54:28god,
00:54:28her padded
00:54:28bra fell
00:54:29out.
00:54:30Everyone's
00:54:30eyes are
00:54:30on her.
00:54:31Wasn't
00:54:32she an
00:54:32ACAP
00:54:32before?
00:54:33Brenna.
00:54:35Ethan
00:54:35pulls out
00:54:36a ring
00:54:36box from
00:54:36his pocket.
00:54:37The
00:54:38world's
00:54:38richest
00:54:38man's
00:54:39man is
00:54:39proposing
00:54:39to me
00:54:40in front
00:54:40of all
00:54:41of
00:54:41Shiri.
00:54:41Marry
00:54:42me.
00:54:42The
00:54:43tips of
00:54:43his ears
00:54:43are red,
00:54:44but his
00:54:44eyes hold
00:54:45mine.
00:54:45I don't
00:54:46know why
00:54:46he chose
00:54:46me,
00:54:47but I
00:54:47don't want
00:54:47to refuse.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:50Applause
00:54:50drowns
00:54:51the
00:54:51hall.
00:54:53Rosie
00:54:53stands in
00:54:54the
00:54:54corner,
00:54:55her nails
00:54:56digging into
00:54:57her palms.
00:54:58Denise
00:54:58Wagner,
00:54:59heir to
00:54:59the
00:54:59Wagner
00:55:00family.
00:55:00Do you
00:55:01know why
00:55:01you fell?
00:55:02It was
00:55:03Audrey.
00:55:04She
00:55:04tripped
00:55:05you.
00:55:05I saw
00:55:05everything.
00:55:06Come
00:55:07with me.
00:55:08I'll
00:55:08help you
00:55:09get
00:55:09revenge.
00:55:10His
00:55:10hand
00:55:11lands on
00:55:11Isabella's
00:55:12shoulder.
00:55:12She
00:55:13doesn't
00:55:13push it
00:55:13away.
00:55:15Yes.
00:55:16Mr.
00:55:17Wagner.
00:55:17I'll
00:55:18come
00:55:18with
00:55:18you.
00:55:20Brenna,
00:55:20we've
00:55:21come to
00:55:21apologize.
00:55:22Tomorrow
00:55:22afternoon we'll
00:55:23treat you to
00:55:23drinks at the
00:55:24Imperial Bar.
00:55:25Sylvie and
00:55:25Vivian wear
00:55:26sincere smiles,
00:55:27but their
00:55:28eyes tell a
00:55:28different story.
00:55:30Fine.
00:55:30I'll be
00:55:31there on
00:55:31time.
00:55:33What awaits
00:55:34me at the
00:55:34bar tomorrow
00:55:35won't be
00:55:35just drinks,
00:55:36but I still
00:55:37agreed because
00:55:38I want to
00:55:38see what
00:55:38they've got
00:55:39up their
00:55:39sleeve.
00:55:40The next
00:55:41afternoon at
00:55:42four,
00:55:42I arrive at
00:55:43Imperial Bar.
00:55:44Seven young
00:55:44people are in
00:55:45the private
00:55:45room.
00:55:46Bottles and
00:55:46small packets
00:55:47litter the
00:55:47table,
00:55:48white powder,
00:55:49yellow pills,
00:55:49blue pills.
00:55:50So,
00:55:51you're
00:55:52Brenna?
00:55:53Not bad
00:55:54looking.
00:55:54Nice figure
00:55:55too.
00:55:56I wonder what
00:55:56she's like in
00:55:57bed.
00:55:57Pardon
00:55:58Moreno,
00:55:58the black
00:55:59sheep of
00:55:59the Moreno
00:55:59family,
00:56:00Brandon Vargas,
00:56:01the deputy
00:56:02mayor's son.
00:56:03They look at
00:56:03me like I'm
00:56:04prey.
00:56:05Harlan drops
00:56:06a blue pill
00:56:06into my glass.
00:56:07It fuzzes and
00:56:08dissolves rapidly.
00:56:10Brenna,
00:56:10have a drink.
00:56:12Drink this.
00:56:13And the past
00:56:14is wiped
00:56:15clean.
00:56:15I worked in
00:56:16bars in
00:56:17Norview.
00:56:17I know what
00:56:18that is,
00:56:19addictive.
00:56:20And an overdose
00:56:21causes unconsciousness.
00:56:23Drink up.
00:56:24You'll enjoy it.
00:56:25Two men block the
00:56:26door.
00:56:27Brandon is behind
00:56:28me.
00:56:28Sylvia and Vivian
00:56:29stand beside me
00:56:30smirking.
00:56:31They never came here
00:56:32to apologize.
00:56:33From the very
00:56:34beginning,
00:56:35this was a trap.
00:56:36I'm not drinking
00:56:36that.
00:56:37Brenna,
00:56:38we kindly came
00:56:39to make amends
00:56:40and you won't
00:56:41even have one
00:56:41drink.
00:56:42You look down
00:56:43on us,
00:56:43don't you?
00:56:44I clench my
00:56:45fists.
00:56:46My heart is
00:56:47racing,
00:56:48but not from
00:56:49fear.
00:56:52It's because
00:56:52it's been a long
00:56:53time since I've
00:56:55been in a fight.
00:56:57Harlan walks up
00:56:58to me with the
00:56:59glass, the blue
00:57:00pill completely
00:57:00dissolved in the
00:57:01wine.
00:57:02Drink it,
00:57:02or I'll pour it
00:57:03down your throat
00:57:04myself.
00:57:04I grab Harlan's
00:57:05jaw and pour the
00:57:06entire glass into
00:57:07his mouth.
00:57:07He chokes and
00:57:08doubles over,
00:57:09his face instantly
00:57:10turning purple.
00:57:11You!
00:57:13Grab her!
00:57:14Brandon lunges
00:57:15from behind.
00:57:16I sidestep and
00:57:17ram my elbow into
00:57:18the bridge of his
00:57:18nose.
00:57:19Blood spurts out.
00:57:20The remaining
00:57:21five rush me at
00:57:22once.
00:57:23I kick over the
00:57:24coffee table,
00:57:25bottles shattering
00:57:26everywhere.
00:57:30Three minutes
00:57:31later, all seven
00:57:33men are on the
00:57:34floor.
00:57:35Ah!
00:57:36My arm is
00:57:36broken!
00:57:37help!
00:57:39I stand amid
00:57:41the wreckage.
00:57:43Anyone else want
00:57:44to challenge me?
00:57:45I turn to leave.
00:57:47Suddenly, a group of
00:57:48men in black appears
00:57:49at the door.
00:57:50The leader wears
00:57:51glasses and a
00:57:52small mustache.
00:57:54Jonas Fowler,
00:57:55manager of this
00:57:56bar.
00:57:57Mr. Fowler!
00:57:58This woman caused a
00:58:00disturbance in the
00:58:00bar.
00:58:01She crippled Harlan
00:58:02man and Brandon!
00:58:03Brandon!
00:58:05Mr. Fowler, please
00:58:07handle this.
00:58:09No need!
00:58:12His suit is
00:58:13immaculate, and his
00:58:14eyes coldly sweep
00:58:15over the people on
00:58:16the floor.
00:58:19bar.
00:58:19How dare you harm my
00:58:21woman in my bar?
00:58:23This bar is yours?
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:26Brenna, you decide
00:58:28how to deal with
00:58:29them.
00:58:29Mr. Mitchell, I was
00:58:31wrong.
00:58:31I didn't know she was
00:58:32your woman.
00:58:34there's a lot you
00:58:35don't know.
00:58:39Harlan.
00:58:40Thiago, what are you
00:58:42doing here?
00:58:42I've waited seven
00:58:44years for this day.
00:58:48Back then, when you
00:58:50and your mother forced
00:58:51my mom out, what did
00:58:53you say?
00:59:00That she was useless?
00:59:02And that she deserved.
00:59:05Stop!
00:59:06Stop!
00:59:06Stop!
00:59:07Stop hitting me!
00:59:08Thiago.
00:59:09Yeah?
00:59:10Just hitting him is
00:59:11boring.
00:59:12Let's make a bet.
00:59:14Harlan, there are
00:59:15card tables on the
00:59:16ninth floor.
00:59:18You bet against me.
00:59:20Lose one round,
00:59:22cut off one finger,
00:59:24pay ten million.
00:59:25Are you insane?
00:59:27Scared?
00:59:30A woman dares to go
00:59:32to the card table
00:59:32against me?
00:59:33I've trained five
00:59:34years in poker,
00:59:35three years in dice.
00:59:37No one can beat me.
00:59:38Brenna, you're going
00:59:38to regret this.
00:59:41Do you even know
00:59:42how to shuffle?
00:59:43Harlan spreads the
00:59:44cards across the table
00:59:45in a perfect flan,
00:59:46flicks his wrist,
00:59:47and the entire deck
00:59:48flips in midair.
00:59:49A ripple of admiration
00:59:50goes through the room.
00:59:52That's skill.
00:59:54Both players,
00:59:55please reveal your cards.
00:59:57I flip over my first card,
01:00:00Ace of Spades.
01:00:01Harlan's smile
01:00:02freezes for a moment.
01:00:03I flip over the second,
01:00:05Ace of Diamonds.
01:00:06His hand starts trembling.
01:00:09I flip over the third,
01:00:11Ace of Hearts.
01:00:13Impossible!
01:00:14You cheated!
01:00:14Harlan,
01:00:16you shuffled this deck
01:00:17yourself.
01:00:18Switch to dice.
01:00:20Lowest score wins.
01:00:22Fine.
01:00:24But the loser
01:00:25cuts off three fingers.
01:00:27With this many witnesses,
01:00:28no one can back out.
01:00:29I pick up the dice cup,
01:00:31give it three light shakes,
01:00:32and set it down.
01:00:35Harlan is still shaking his,
01:00:37his hand nearly a blur.
01:00:40I lift the cup.
01:00:42The six dice are stacked
01:00:43in a perfect column.
01:00:45The one on top
01:00:47is a one.
01:00:50Six ones?
01:00:51How did you do that?
01:00:53Your turn.
01:00:54Jonas walks over
01:00:55and lifts dice
01:00:56one by one.
01:00:57The first dice,
01:00:59one.
01:00:59The second,
01:01:00one.
01:01:00The third,
01:01:01still one.
01:01:02The fourth,
01:01:03one.
01:01:03The fifth,
01:01:04still one.
01:01:05The six dice,
01:01:06three.
01:01:07No.
01:01:08impossible.
01:01:09Impossible.
01:01:10This can't be.
01:01:12All color has rained
01:01:13from his face.
01:01:14His lips are trembling.
01:01:17And his pants
01:01:18are already wet.
01:01:24Tiago,
01:01:25it's your turn.
01:01:28Tiago picks up the knife.
01:01:31Harlan's right hand
01:01:32is pinned to the table.
01:01:34Five fingers spread apart.
01:01:37He's crying.
01:01:39Tiago,
01:01:40don't,
01:01:41please.
01:01:42I'll give you all my shares.
01:01:44Anything you want.
01:01:52Before you forcibly injected
01:01:54my mother with blue ice,
01:01:56my mother and I begged you.
01:02:01Did you show mercy then?
01:02:05I turn around.
01:02:08A scream rings out behind me.
01:02:12Over a dozen black sedans
01:02:14block the road.
01:02:15Brandon Vargas,
01:02:16his nose still wrapped in bandages,
01:02:19holds an iron rod.
01:02:20Dozens of men in black
01:02:21stand behind him.
01:02:23Mr. Mitchell,
01:02:25let's go one on one.
01:02:31Who do you think you are?
01:02:33How dare you challenge our boss?
01:02:38Jonas punches Brandon
01:02:40in the nose.
01:02:41Blood sprays out again.
01:02:45Then he pulls out his phone.
01:02:50Brandon,
01:02:50take a look at this.
01:02:53It's a photo of Brandon's father
01:02:55in bed with a young woman.
01:03:00The next,
01:03:01a photo of Brandon
01:03:02pinning a girl's shoulder down
01:03:04and burning her
01:03:05with a cigarette butt.
01:03:06What did you?
01:03:10These materials
01:03:10have already been sent
01:03:12to the prosecutor's office.
01:03:14The Vargas family
01:03:16is finished.
01:03:23Rosie opened her walk-in closet door
01:03:26and she froze.
01:03:28Over 50 pieces of clothing,
01:03:30all slashed to shreds.
01:03:32Her favorite M&G cocktail dress,
01:03:34cut straight from the collar
01:03:35to the hem.
01:03:37Who did this?
01:03:39The former housekeeper
01:03:40who was fired
01:03:41is still by her side.
01:03:43It wasn't me.
01:03:45They were fine when I cleaned.
01:03:47Rosie goes over
01:03:48the surveillance footage
01:03:49three times.
01:03:51In the recording,
01:03:52only Rachel
01:03:53entered her room
01:03:54in the afternoon.
01:03:57No one else.
01:04:00Rosie knows it was me.
01:04:04I know she won't find
01:04:06any evidence
01:04:07because I already
01:04:08tampered with the footage.
01:04:11Rosie returns to her room
01:04:13and stares at the shredded fabric.
01:04:15These clothes total
01:04:17several million,
01:04:17but she doesn't care
01:04:19about the money.
01:04:20What enrages her
01:04:21is that I can silently
01:04:22destroy everything she owns.
01:04:25Brenna,
01:04:25this isn't over
01:04:26between us.
01:04:30I know she won't
01:04:31let me go,
01:04:33but she's no match
01:04:34for me.
01:04:36I sit in my room,
01:04:38watching my computer screen.
01:04:39The Murano family's
01:04:41stocks are plummeting.
01:04:42I'm short-sailing.
01:04:44You don't seem surprised
01:04:45at all.
01:04:47I looked into you.
01:04:50Dual Masters
01:04:51from Norview University.
01:04:53Graduated at 18.
01:04:54Your two studios
01:04:55pull in billions
01:04:56every year.
01:04:58Miss Brenna Harper,
01:04:59I've placed the fruit
01:05:00and juice here.
01:05:01Miss Rosie Harper
01:05:02is still checking
01:05:03the surveillance footage.
01:05:04Don't worry.
01:05:05I've already taken care
01:05:07of the footage.
01:05:07She won't find anything.
01:05:10You were the one
01:05:11who ruined Rosie's clothes?
01:05:13She ruined three
01:05:14of my gowns before
01:05:15nearly making me
01:05:16lose face at the banquet
01:05:17and ruined one
01:05:18of my M&G dresses.
01:05:19I just settled
01:05:20things with her.
01:05:22Well done.
01:05:24Rosie and Ernest,
01:05:25they teamed up
01:05:26to make you sign
01:05:26that betting agreement?
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:29If I lose
01:05:30the design competition,
01:05:31I have to give up
01:05:31everything from
01:05:32the Harper family.
01:05:33Rosie even added
01:05:34another condition
01:05:35that I could never
01:05:36work at Harper Group
01:05:37again.
01:05:41How dare they treat
01:05:42you like this?
01:05:42They think they can
01:05:43force me to back down,
01:05:45but they don't know.
01:05:46I never back down.
01:05:53Regardless of the
01:05:54outcome of that bet,
01:05:56I'm marrying you.
01:05:59Not because of
01:06:00the arrangement.
01:06:02Because I want to.
01:06:08Damn it.
01:06:09I can only swallow
01:06:11this loss in silence.
01:06:12Without evidence.
01:06:14If I bring it to
01:06:15Grandpa,
01:06:15I'll just get
01:06:15another beating.
01:06:21Rosie,
01:06:21you have to help me.
01:06:23My dad's been arrested.
01:06:25The Moreno family's
01:06:26scandals are all
01:06:27over the country.
01:06:29How am I supposed
01:06:30to help you?
01:06:31Aren't you close
01:06:32with the tax bureau chief
01:06:33and the people
01:06:34at the prosecutor's office?
01:06:36Harlan,
01:06:37don't kid yourself.
01:06:38Ethan is targeting
01:06:39at you.
01:06:40You think I can go
01:06:41against the world's
01:06:41richest man?
01:06:43But you said
01:06:43you'd help me
01:06:44deal with Brenna!
01:06:48I never said that.
01:06:55Rosie Harper,
01:06:57you dare play me?
01:07:03I won't let you
01:07:03get away with this.
01:07:06And I won't let
01:07:07Brenna off either.
01:07:08You will pay
01:07:09the price.
01:07:12Brenna,
01:07:13where is Ellie?
01:07:14Just tell me.
01:07:15I told you.
01:07:17I don't know.
01:07:18You stood up for her
01:07:19and scolded me?
01:07:20That proves
01:07:21you've been in contact.
01:07:21Jayceon Russell,
01:07:23the Russell family's
01:07:24playboy.
01:07:25Ellie's ex-boyfriend,
01:07:27Patrick's biological father.
01:07:30Jayceon,
01:07:30did you know
01:07:31that when Ellie left,
01:07:32she was pregnant
01:07:33with your child?
01:07:35I know.
01:07:36Did you know
01:07:36she gave birth
01:07:37alone in Norview,
01:07:38unable to even
01:07:39afford the hospital bill?
01:07:41Did you know
01:07:41she went back
01:07:43to work
01:07:43before her postpartum
01:07:45recovery was even done?
01:07:46You didn't know.
01:07:49You were on vacation
01:07:51with your new girlfriend
01:07:52at the time.
01:07:55I walk into
01:07:56the abandoned factory's
01:07:58operations room,
01:07:59wearing a mask.
01:08:01Dozens of masked technicians
01:08:03sit at computers,
01:08:04data streams flashing
01:08:05rapidly on the screens.
01:08:08King,
01:08:09Black Dragon
01:08:10and physicians are built.
01:08:11The other side
01:08:11is still pressing hard.
01:08:12Code G1569,
01:08:15buy 38 billion.
01:08:17K5879,
01:08:18buy 19.2 billion.
01:08:20My fingers fly
01:08:21across the keyboard.
01:08:23The continuously
01:08:24falling curve
01:08:25at the center
01:08:25of the screen
01:08:26begins to slowly climb.
01:08:29It's rebounding.
01:08:31The market value
01:08:31is coming back.
01:08:33Two hours.
01:08:34I forcibly
01:08:35pulled the stock price.
01:08:36which had been
01:08:37plunging off a cliff
01:08:38back up.
01:08:41King,
01:08:42the client has transferred
01:08:43the remaining payment.
01:08:44Four billion.
01:08:49Mr. Mitchell,
01:08:50King pulled back
01:08:51all 40 billion
01:08:52we'd lost
01:08:52in just two hours.
01:08:55King.
01:08:56A legend that only exists
01:08:58in the Undercity.
01:09:00A shadow
01:09:01in the financial world.
01:09:06No one knows
01:09:07King's real identity.
01:09:08But today,
01:09:09King saved
01:09:10my Black Dragon.
01:09:13I owe this person one.
01:09:18Who the hell are you?
01:09:20Brenna,
01:09:21the Mitchell family
01:09:21formally proposed
01:09:22marriage today.
01:09:23Ethan's father
01:09:24called your dad.
01:09:25They want you
01:09:27and Ethan
01:09:27to marry
01:09:28as soon as possible.
01:09:29What do you think?
01:09:32I don't want
01:09:33to get married.
01:09:34Is it because
01:09:34you don't like
01:09:35Ethan?
01:09:37No.
01:09:39It's that
01:09:40I don't want
01:09:41to get married
01:09:41right now.
01:09:44I just came home
01:09:45and family matters
01:09:47aren't settled yet.
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:49Mom supports
01:09:50your decision.
01:09:51I'll have your dad
01:09:51decline the Mitchells.
01:09:55Do you know
01:09:56how many women
01:09:57in Shiri
01:09:57dream of marrying
01:09:58Ethan?
01:09:59And you actually
01:10:00refuse?
01:10:01Now that you've
01:10:02turned him down,
01:10:03he'll come back
01:10:03to me.
01:10:04When you accepted
01:10:06Ethan's proposal,
01:10:07I thought you
01:10:08actually liked him.
01:10:09Turns out you were
01:10:10just after his
01:10:11money and status.
01:10:12Rosie sits in a
01:10:13corner booth
01:10:14wearing a sun hat,
01:10:15secretly taking
01:10:17photos of Tiago
01:10:18and me having lunch.
01:10:20She angles the
01:10:21camera perfectly.
01:10:22It looks like
01:10:23we're kissing.
01:10:24She sends the
01:10:25photos to Ethan,
01:10:26saying we're on a
01:10:27date that we've
01:10:28gone through an
01:10:28entire bottle of
01:10:30wine, implying
01:10:31we're going to a
01:10:32hotel.
01:10:34Ethan appears at
01:10:35the restaurant
01:10:35entrance.
01:10:36His tie is crooked,
01:10:38fine sweat on his
01:10:39forehead.
01:10:40He rushed straight
01:10:40here.
01:10:41But he hasn't come
01:10:43to interrogate me.
01:10:44The moment he sees
01:10:45me, he exhale
01:10:46with relief.
01:10:53Who is he?
01:10:54Why are you with
01:10:55him?
01:10:56Mr. Mitchell,
01:10:57Brenna and I have
01:10:58a purely professional
01:10:59relationship.
01:11:00Karen suddenly
01:11:00bursts into the
01:11:01restaurant and lunges
01:11:02for Tiago, but
01:11:04Ethan strikes first.
01:11:05His fist smashes
01:11:06into Harlan's face,
01:11:08sending him flying.
01:11:09A tooth flies out
01:11:11and bounces off
01:11:12the floor tiles.
01:11:15Brenna, you
01:11:17destroyed the
01:11:17Moreno family!
01:11:20Ethan, what
01:11:22Harlan said is
01:11:22true!
01:11:23Brenna is using
01:11:24you to destroy the
01:11:25Moreno family!
01:11:26Ethan doesn't look
01:11:27at her.
01:11:28He only looks at
01:11:29me.
01:11:31Brenna, I'll only
01:11:32listen to you.
01:11:34Ethan pulls me out
01:11:35of the restaurant and
01:11:36pushes me into the
01:11:37passenger seat.
01:11:40The moment the door
01:11:41locks, I see the
01:11:42emotion in his eyes.
01:11:43Not anger, but fear.
01:11:47We're going to
01:11:48register our marriage
01:11:49right now.
01:11:51Once it's done,
01:11:52you're legally my
01:11:53wife.
01:11:53No one will dare
01:11:54touch you again.
01:11:58Ethan, stop the
01:11:59car.
01:11:59No.
01:12:00It's not that I don't
01:12:01want to marry you.
01:12:02I don't think the
01:12:03timing is right.
01:12:05You promised me
01:12:06you wouldn't force me.
01:12:09Ethan grips the
01:12:10steering wheel.
01:12:13He eases off the
01:12:14accelerator and the
01:12:16car pulls to the
01:12:17side of the road.
01:12:18Brenna, I won't let
01:12:20anyone hurt you.
01:12:22But you have to
01:12:22promise me to.
01:12:24No matter what
01:12:25happens, don't take
01:12:26off that ring.
01:12:29All right.
01:12:34Rosie, I'm
01:12:36finished.
01:12:36The Moreno family
01:12:37has completely
01:12:38collapsed.
01:12:40The prosecutor's
01:12:41office is after me.
01:12:44What are you doing
01:12:46here?
01:12:47If anyone sees you
01:12:48with me, I'm
01:12:49finished too.
01:12:53You have to
01:12:54help me.
01:12:54I know you're
01:12:55connected to the
01:12:56underworld in
01:12:56Shire.
01:12:57Help me find
01:12:59someone to take
01:13:00out Brenna and
01:13:01Tiago.
01:13:03Why should I
01:13:04help you?
01:13:05You're in love
01:13:06with Ethan.
01:13:09Once Brenna is
01:13:10dead, he'll be
01:13:12yours.
01:13:15How many men
01:13:16can you get?
01:13:18Jay's gang was
01:13:18broken up by the
01:13:19police, but his
01:13:20most ruthless men
01:13:21are still around.
01:13:23Fifty of them.
01:13:24If you pay, they'll
01:13:25even take on the
01:13:26military.
01:13:32I'll provide the
01:13:33money, but I have
01:13:35one condition.
01:13:37I want Brenna to
01:13:38disappear completely.
01:13:39Eleven at night,
01:13:40Tiago and I step out
01:13:41of the elevator.
01:13:43All the lights in the
01:13:45parking garage suddenly
01:13:46go out.
01:13:46Something's wrong.
01:13:47Don't turn on your
01:13:48phone light.
01:13:49Footsteps.
01:13:50At least thirty men
01:13:51closing in from all
01:13:52directions.
01:13:54That's the bitch.
01:13:55She snapped my
01:13:56arm last time.
01:13:57Guys, beat her
01:13:58to death.
01:13:59The lights come on.
01:14:00Thirty burly men are
01:14:01holding steel pipes
01:14:02and machetes in front
01:14:04of me.
01:14:04I set down my
01:14:05backpack and flex
01:14:07my wrists.
01:14:08You take the left
01:14:09and I'll take the
01:14:10right.
01:14:12Race you?
01:14:14I bet a midnight
01:14:15snack.
01:14:25Jay lies on the
01:14:26ground, his right
01:14:27leg bent at an
01:14:28horrible angle.
01:14:30Thirty men, not a
01:14:31single one can still
01:14:32stand.
01:14:33My heel presses on
01:14:34his chest.
01:14:35He can't breathe.
01:14:37Who sent you?
01:14:41Rosie Harper and
01:14:43Harlan Morano.
01:14:45They put up two
01:14:46million for your
01:14:47head.
01:14:49I get home and
01:14:51open my laptop.
01:14:52The garage's
01:14:53surveillance footage
01:14:54recorded everything.
01:14:55I download the video
01:14:57and then edit it
01:14:58frame by frame.
01:14:59In the footage,
01:15:00the garage lights
01:15:01stay on the whole
01:15:02time.
01:15:02No ambush.
01:15:04No fight.
01:15:05Just Thiago and
01:15:06me walking out of
01:15:07the elevator, getting
01:15:09into the car, and
01:15:10leaving.
01:15:11Rosie, you want
01:15:12surveillance footage as
01:15:13evidence?
01:15:14I'll give it to you.
01:15:16It's just that what
01:15:17you get won't be
01:15:18quite what you
01:15:19expected.
01:15:20Hiring people to
01:15:21commit murder, that's
01:15:22a serious charge.
01:15:26But you have no
01:15:27alibi, because you
01:15:29don't even know what
01:15:29happened tonight.
01:15:32Are you ready?
01:15:33Brenna, come look!
01:15:35I specially ordered
01:15:36this car for you.
01:15:37Deep blue SUV, smart
01:15:40voice start, bullet
01:15:41proof glass.
01:15:42Do you like it?
01:15:43I love it.
01:15:44Thanks, Mom.
01:15:48Giselle!
01:15:49This car is gorgeous!
01:15:50Can I...
01:15:51Rosie, this is for
01:15:53Brenna.
01:15:53Brenna doesn't even
01:15:54have a driver's license.
01:15:55She can't drive.
01:15:56Let me use it for now.
01:15:59Rosie pulls open the
01:16:00driver's door and sits
01:16:01inside.
01:16:02She adjusts the seat,
01:16:04strokes the steering
01:16:04wheel, a look of
01:16:05complete entitlements on
01:16:07her face.
01:16:07I'm taking it, then!
01:16:08Thanks, Giselle!
01:16:10Thanks, Brenna!
01:16:18Rosie drives my car
01:16:19onto the road, but she
01:16:21doesn't know that the
01:16:22brakes on this car have
01:16:23been tampered with.
01:16:24Not to kill her.
01:16:27Just to teach her a
01:16:28lesson.
01:16:30Red light.
01:16:31She hits the brakes.
01:16:33No response.
01:16:35Again.
01:16:36Still nothing.
01:16:37A large truck is
01:16:39crossing the intersection.
01:16:40She yanks the steering
01:16:41wheel hard.
01:16:43Front of the car
01:16:44avoids the truck, but
01:16:45the sky slams into the
01:16:47guardrail.
01:16:50Rosie, how are you?
01:16:53Ernst, it was Brenna.
01:16:56This car was ordered
01:16:57for her.
01:16:58She must have tampered
01:16:59with the brakes.
01:17:00How do you know it was
01:17:01her?
01:17:02She hates me!
01:17:10Brenna, did you tamper
01:17:11with Rosie's brakes?
01:17:14What evidence do you
01:17:16have?
01:17:17You studied mechanical
01:17:18engineering.
01:17:19Making a car lose its
01:17:20brakes is easier than
01:17:21eating a meal for you.
01:17:22I look at Ernst.
01:17:23His eyes are full of
01:17:24anger and disappointment.
01:17:26He doesn't care that
01:17:27Rosie hired people to
01:17:28kill me.
01:17:29He only cares that
01:17:30Rosie...
01:17:32He never sees me as
01:17:34his sister.
01:17:35Ernst!
01:17:39I was with Brenna the
01:17:40whole time we looked
01:17:41at that car.
01:17:42She never even touched
01:17:43the steering wheel.
01:17:45But...
01:17:46Do you believe your
01:17:46mother or that cousin
01:17:48of yours who lies
01:17:49through her teeth?
01:17:50I'm sorry.
01:17:52I checked the
01:17:52surveillance footage.
01:17:54Mom was telling
01:17:54the truth.
01:17:55Save your apology.
01:17:57Just now you look like
01:17:58you wanted to tear
01:17:59your own sister apart.
01:18:01Mr. Mitchell,
01:18:02Harlan is already
01:18:03on the wanted list.
01:18:04Both the prosecutor's
01:18:05office and the police
01:18:06are after him.
01:18:07Not enough.
01:18:09Last time he hired
01:18:11people to go after
01:18:11Brenna, this time he
01:18:12teamed up with Rosie.
01:18:15Find him.
01:18:17And break one of
01:18:18his legs.
01:18:19Understood.
01:18:22Harlan rummages
01:18:23through the basement
01:18:24and finds Tiago's
01:18:25mother's belongings.
01:18:27A diary, a necklace,
01:18:29a bracelet.
01:18:31If you call the cops,
01:18:33I'll burn everything.
01:18:34What do you want?
01:18:36The abandoned sports
01:18:37field next to the old
01:18:38school.
01:18:40Tonight at ten,
01:18:42bring Brenna.
01:18:43Just the two of you.
01:18:48If you call the cops,
01:18:49I'll burn everything.
01:18:51I'll be there.
01:18:53You wait.
01:18:56I know it's a trap,
01:18:57but my mother's
01:18:58belongings,
01:18:59I have to get them
01:19:00back.
01:19:00Harlan and Jay have
01:19:01fifty men lying in
01:19:03ambush around the field.
01:19:04They think I'll be
01:19:05scared.
01:19:06But Tiago and I
01:19:08stand side by side
01:19:09in the middle of the
01:19:09field.
01:19:11The moment the
01:19:12gunshots ring out,
01:19:13we roll into the
01:19:14bushes.
01:19:15The grass here is
01:19:16waist high.
01:19:17We hide in the
01:19:18shadows.
01:19:19Each time someone
01:19:21approaches, we
01:19:22silently take them
01:19:23out.
01:19:23Half an hour later,
01:19:25Jay only has about
01:19:26ten men left.
01:19:28Dozens of fully-armed
01:19:30police officers and
01:19:31snipers pour in from
01:19:32all directions.
01:19:34Neville stands beside
01:19:35the police carts.
01:19:36Phone in hand.
01:19:38Ethan called them.
01:19:45Sorry I'm late.
01:19:48No, the timing is
01:19:49perfect.
01:19:52I later learned that
01:19:53Ellie was falsely
01:19:54accused of plagiarism
01:19:56in Norview.
01:19:57They claimed she
01:19:58plagiarized her own
01:20:00design.
01:20:01And the client that
01:20:02was originally hers
01:20:03has already signed
01:20:04with them.
01:20:05She'd rather lose the
01:20:06lawsuit than owe
01:20:07Jaycee on anything.
01:20:10Yet if she loses,
01:20:12her brand will belong
01:20:14to the plagiarist.
01:20:17How will she support
01:20:19Patrick?
01:20:20I have to help Ellie.
01:20:26But how?
01:20:30Rosie Harper, you are
01:20:33suspected of hiring
01:20:33people to commit murder.
01:20:35Please cooperate with
01:20:36our investigation.
01:20:38What are you doing?
01:20:39This is the Harper
01:20:40family.
01:20:41Don't touch me!
01:20:45I let them in.
01:20:48Giselle?
01:20:50How could you do this?
01:20:52You hired people
01:20:53to kill my daughter.
01:20:57From today on,
01:20:59you are no longer
01:21:00a Harper.
01:21:06Your things have been
01:21:07packed and are
01:21:07outside the door.
01:21:08When you come out
01:21:09of the police station,
01:21:10go direct to your own
01:21:11home.
01:21:11Don't step through
01:21:12this door again.
01:21:13Mr. Harper,
01:21:14you can't do this!
01:21:15You watched Rosie grow up!
01:21:17You're fired as well.
01:21:21Your wages have been
01:21:22settled.
01:21:22Leave with her.
01:21:38Leave with her.
01:21:40Ernst!
01:21:41You came to get me!
01:21:44I didn't come to take
01:21:45you home.
01:21:48Mom and Dad said
01:21:50you can't come back.
01:21:51Then what are you
01:21:52here for?
01:21:53To gloat?
01:21:55I'm here to tell you,
01:21:57stop going after
01:21:58Brenna.
01:21:59You can't beat her.
01:22:02And you can't beat
01:22:03Ethan either.
01:22:04You got bail this time
01:22:05because the evidence
01:22:06is insufficient.
01:22:07But if happens again,
01:22:09I won't help you
01:22:10anymore.
01:22:13Are you done?
01:22:15Yes.
01:22:18You'll regret this.
01:22:20The Harper family,
01:22:21the Mitchell family,
01:22:22Brenna,
01:22:23every single one of you
01:22:25will regret this.
01:22:28Ernst carries his
01:22:29suitcase out the
01:22:30main house gate.
01:22:31Mom stands on the
01:22:33steps and doesn't
01:22:33stop him.
01:22:34Dad is at the
01:22:35window,
01:22:36not even parting
01:22:36the curtains to
01:22:37look at him.
01:22:41Ernst,
01:22:42I wasn't going to
01:22:43persuade you.
01:22:45I just wanted to
01:22:46tell you,
01:22:47you're always my
01:22:48brother.
01:22:49He turns around
01:22:50and looks at me.
01:22:51The morning light
01:22:52shines from behind
01:22:53him.
01:22:54Brenna,
01:22:55I'm sorry.
01:22:57I owe you an
01:22:57apology.
01:22:58Today is the
01:23:00design competition
01:23:01results announcement
01:23:02day.
01:23:03Isabella walks in
01:23:04arm in arm with
01:23:05Dennyus Wagner.
01:23:06Denise is the
01:23:07heir of the
01:23:07Wagner family,
01:23:09lecherous and
01:23:10arrogant.
01:23:14Brenna,
01:23:15how dare you
01:23:16show up?
01:23:17You never even
01:23:18finished elementary
01:23:18school.
01:23:19Who knows which
01:23:20ghost designer you
01:23:21hired to draw those
01:23:21drafts?
01:23:24You picked on my
01:23:25woman and that
01:23:26doesn't sit right
01:23:27with me.
01:23:28I'm giving you a
01:23:29chance to apologize.
01:23:31If you don't,
01:23:32the Harper family's
01:23:33design competition
01:23:34might not go ahead
01:23:35as planned.
01:23:36I don't reply.
01:23:37I smash my fist
01:23:39into Dennis'
01:23:39nose.
01:23:41The moment the
01:23:41blood sprays out,
01:23:43Isabella screams,
01:23:44you.
01:23:48Ethan walks into
01:23:50the lobby just in
01:23:50time and kicks
01:23:51Dennis away.
01:23:54Security, throw
01:23:55this man out.
01:23:57Security drags
01:23:59Dennis out.
01:24:00Isabella hesitates
01:24:01for a moment but
01:24:02follows him out.
01:24:06Brenna, I'm sure
01:24:08you'll take first
01:24:09place today.
01:24:10You've won so many
01:24:12international awards.
01:24:13These competitors,
01:24:14how could any of
01:24:15them compare to
01:24:16you?
01:24:17The winner must
01:24:19have been decided
01:24:20in advance.
01:24:21She's the Harper
01:24:21family's daughter.
01:24:22We're just here
01:24:23to make up the
01:24:23numbers.
01:24:25I look at
01:24:26Rosie's gentle,
01:24:27smiling face.
01:24:28Every word of her
01:24:29praise is meant to
01:24:30draw hatred toward
01:24:31me.
01:24:32Rosie, do you
01:24:33really think I'll
01:24:34be intimidated by
01:24:35others' skepticism?
01:24:44actually, Miss Brenna Harper
01:24:46didn't grow up in the Harper
01:24:47family.
01:24:48She grew up in the
01:24:49Barrett family.
01:24:50My family knows her best.
01:24:52She never even finished her
01:24:53elementary school.
01:24:54Her dual master's degrees
01:24:56and international awards,
01:24:57all fake.
01:25:01How is that possible?
01:25:03Didn't Harper Group say
01:25:04she graduated from MIT?
01:25:07You've all been fooled.
01:25:11Excuse me, I'm Tommy McCoy,
01:25:13head of Knight Studio.
01:25:14Every certificate of
01:25:15Brenna's was archived by our
01:25:17studio.
01:25:18The scanned copies of these
01:25:19certificates are now
01:25:20displayed on the main screen.
01:25:24You, you're her people.
01:25:26Of course you'd speak up
01:25:27for her.
01:25:28Miss Barrett, you claim
01:25:29Brenna never even finished
01:25:30elementary school.
01:25:31Then how do you explain
01:25:33that at the age of ten
01:25:34she designed an entire set
01:25:36of auto parts blueprints
01:25:37for the Barrett group?
01:25:38Those blueprints are still
01:25:40in the Barrett group's
01:25:41archives.
01:25:45Shall I pull them up
01:25:46for everyone to see?
01:25:48The entire hall falls silent.
01:25:50Those who were whispering
01:25:51moments ago are now staring
01:25:53at the certificates
01:25:54on the big screen.
01:25:56Isabella's face goes red.
01:25:57She's probably forgotten.
01:25:59The very reason the Barretts
01:26:00could expand their business
01:26:01was because of the
01:26:02designs I drew.
01:26:04Now using this to attack me
01:26:05will only make everyone
01:26:06realize the Barretts not
01:26:08only abused their
01:26:09adoptive daughter,
01:26:10they also plagiarized
01:26:12the work of a ten-year-old
01:26:13child.
01:26:15Next is the anonymous
01:26:17voting segment.
01:26:18All shortlisted works,
01:26:20will be displayed
01:26:21only by entry number,
01:26:22not author name.
01:26:24Every designer
01:26:25and judge present
01:26:26has one vote.
01:26:28Voting is closed.
01:26:30The work currently ranked
01:26:31first is
01:26:32entry 132.
01:26:35Rosie almost jumps up.
01:26:40But I see Tommy
01:26:41step forward.
01:26:42I object.
01:26:43Entry 132 is plagiarized.
01:26:45This design is the award-winning
01:26:47work of our studio's
01:26:48lead engineer
01:26:49at the Norview
01:26:50International Golden
01:26:51Wrench Award
01:26:51four years ago.
01:26:53Every single line,
01:26:54every single piece of data
01:26:55is identical to the original.
01:27:03Please provide evidence.
01:27:05Tommy opens his laptop
01:27:07and connects it
01:27:08to the main screen.
01:27:09He pulls up the
01:27:09Golden Wrench Award records,
01:27:11the original design draft
01:27:13creation timestamps,
01:27:14and the date stamps
01:27:15on every layer of backup.
01:27:28Confirmed.
01:27:29Entry 132 is identical
01:27:31to the Golden Wrench
01:27:32award-winning work.
01:27:34This entry
01:27:35is disqualified.
01:27:38According to the rules,
01:27:40after disqualifying
01:27:41entry 132,
01:27:42first place
01:27:43shifts to
01:27:43entry 133.
01:27:45Congratulations
01:27:46to Brenna Harper!
01:27:52The entire hall
01:27:53erupts
01:27:54in thunderous applause.
01:27:55I walk onto the stage
01:27:56and receive the trophy.
01:27:58Rosie sits in the audience,
01:28:00her face
01:28:00as white as paper.
01:28:01Now announcing
01:28:02the author's names.
01:28:04First place,
01:28:04Brenna Harper.
01:28:06Second place,
01:28:07Night Studio Team.
01:28:10Harper Group
01:28:11will offer the winners
01:28:12lucrative high-end
01:28:14automotive design contracts.
01:28:27According to the agreement,
01:28:29Ernst resigns
01:28:30as CEO of Harper Group
01:28:31and his 5% shares
01:28:32are transferred to Brenna.
01:28:33Rosie's half-percent shares
01:28:34in her name
01:28:35are also transferred
01:28:36to Brenna.
01:28:36Ernst places
01:28:37the signed
01:28:38share transfer agreement
01:28:39on the table.
01:28:41Brenna,
01:28:42I'm sorry.
01:28:43These shares
01:28:43are what you deserve.
01:28:45Rosie stares
01:28:46at the agreement
01:28:47and refuses to sign.
01:28:48I won't sign.
01:28:51You have to sign
01:28:52whether you want to
01:28:53or not.
01:28:53This agreement
01:28:54is legally binding.
01:28:55If you don't sign,
01:28:57we'll resolve it in court.
01:28:58Rosie picks up the pen,
01:28:59her hand shaking,
01:29:00but she signs anyway.
01:29:02After Ernst steps down,
01:29:03Dalton will serve
01:29:04as interim CEO.
01:29:05Brenna,
01:29:05you are the youngest
01:29:06but most outstanding child
01:29:07in our family.
01:29:08Grandpa is proud of you.
01:29:09My daughter suffered
01:29:10outside for 20 years.
01:29:12She has finally returned
01:29:14to where she was meant to be.
01:29:15I look down
01:29:16at the transfer agreement.
01:29:18It bears Ernst's signature,
01:29:20Rosie's signature,
01:29:21Grandpa's seal,
