Short filmTranscript
00:00:04When 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
00:00:20me.
00:00:21This ring, which he designed himself, is the proof.
00:00:25And now, we finally have a little angel of our own.
00:00:30I 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?
00:01:17Am I interrupting something?
00:01:19She just got back and isn't doing well. Don't overthink it.
00:01:22Not 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?
00:01:36It'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?
00:01:48Article 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 rules.
00:01:55Alistair, she's young. It's only natural she's being mature. Don't be too hard on her.
00:02:00Not even a single word of explanation?
00:02:02It's not necessary. I gave you a title and a life of dignity, not a license to come here and
00:02:06make a steam.
00:02:07Grow up, little girl. Don't make this any more embarrassing than it already is.
00:02:10Get out.
00:02:17Why the rush? Even a contract wife can feel embarrassed?
00:02:25Get out of my way.
00:02:26Does this look familiar?
00:02:28Alistair designed it himself. The size, the cut, even the curve of the setting. It's identical.
00:02:34The one on your finger is just a fake you bought later to replace it.
00:02:37What exactly are you trying to say?
00:02:39I'm saying you should know your place.
00:02:40So what if you're his wife?
00:02:42You live in his house, spend his money, and trade a contract for a last name.
00:02:46But I'm different. I don't need an appointment to enter his office.
00:02:50I 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.
00:03:01I designed this ring specifically for you.
00:03:04It's the only one of its kind in the world.
00:03:06After all, you are my one and only.
00:03:11Fine. I understand.
00:03:16What 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.
00:03:32I haven't had a chance to see her music room yet.
00:03:35See it if you want. You don't have to ask me twice about anything in this house.
00:03:39No 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?
00:04:01What a shame.
00:04:02I 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.
00:04:12Is all this really necessary?
00:04:17Alistair!
00:04:20Alistair, I really didn't mean it.
00:04:22I just wanted to see where she usually practices,
00:04:24but she started snapping at me the moment she got back.
00:04:26I'm a little scared.
00:04:27Victoria, you...
00:04:28Chloe, enough.
00:04:29What 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?
00:04:33I wrote every single note of this myself.
00:04:35This is two years of my hard work.
00:04:37Alistair, you know that better than anyone!
00:04:39Hard work?
00:04:40Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:04:42This score, or the status you've built using it as a prop?
00:04:45A student from a common background
00:04:47who managed to crawl into the Sterling family
00:04:49through a marriage certificate?
00:04:50Who are you trying to impress with this wronged woman act?
00:04:53Didn't you approach me in the first place
00:04:55for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the top?
00:04:58I didn't.
00:04:59Am I wrong?
00:05:00Now that Victoria is back,
00:05:01you know your position is shaky,
00:05:02so you're using these tears
00:05:03and your so-called hard work as leverage.
00:05:05At the end of the ale,
00:05:06isn't this whole tantrum
00:05:07just a way to get my attention,
00:05:09to get more money,
00:05:10and to squeeze more out of me?
00:05:11No!
00:05:11You've forgotten!
00:05:12I never married you for your wealth,
00:05:13and I certainly wasn't plotting
00:05:15against 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.
00:05:20If I could do it all over again,
00:05:21I would never marry a woman as calculating as you.
00:05:23We've been married for two years,
00:05:24and this is how lowly you think of me?
00:05:26What else would I think?
00:05:34I'm still throwing a tantrum over what happened today.
00:05:36I'm not throwing a tantrum.
00:05:38I just want to know,
00:05:39what exactly am I to you?
00:05:41You're my wife.
00:05:42I sketched the design for this ring myself.
00:05:44That year you were playing the cello in the snow.
00:05:46Your hands were beet red from the cold,
00:05:47yet you refused to stop.
00:05:48I sat in the car watching you for half an hour,
00:05:50and when I got back,
00:05:51I drew this.
00:05:52You still remember?
00:05:54Of course.
00:05:55Chloe, I'm not blind to these things.
00:05:57Then why do you protect her over and over again?
00:05:59Victoria is too deeply tied to the family's projects.
00:06:03I took her side today,
00:06:04not because she's more important than Chloe,
00:06:05but because I had to keep the situation under control.
00:06:08Don't take those words to heart.
00:06:09Is that really all it is?
00:06:10You're too young.
00:06:12There are many things I don't want you to get mixed up in.
00:06:18Alistair, I hit someone.
00:06:20There's so much blood.
00:06:22Please come quickly.
00:06:24Something came up at the office.
00:06:25I need to head out,
00:06:26but I'll be back soon.
00:06:28This late?
00:06:29Wait for me.
00:06:30Don't go anywhere.
00:06:33Little one,
00:06:34your father still cares for us.
00:06:36Just wait a little longer.
00:06:40Chloe,
00:06:41Victoria accidentally killed someone with her car.
00:06:43She can't be linked to this case,
00:06:44so you're going to take the fall for her.
00:06:52Chloe,
00:06:53don't be afraid.
00:06:54I'll handle everything.
00:06:55Just sign the papers,
00:06:56and 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.
00:07:02The press is swarming outside,
00:07:03and the police are already watching us.
00:07:05We have to lock in the statement first,
00:07:06so I can get you out of this mess.
00:07:07Don't be difficult.
00:07:08This is the fastest way.
00:07:09The lawyers will arrange your bail.
00:07:10All you have to do is give your thumbprint.
00:07:12So everything you said tonight
00:07:13was just a tactic to play me?
00:07:15The ring,
00:07:16the promises,
00:07:16what did any of it mean?
00:07:17It means you need to be smart right now.
00:07:20Article 33 of the prenuptal agreement,
00:07:22you are required to cooperate
00:07:23with family crisis management.
00:07:25Otherwise,
00:07:25you'll never be able to pay off
00:07:26the penalty in your lifetime.
00:07:27I'm not signing.
00:07:29Chloe,
00:07:29don't push me.
00:07:30Once you leave your print,
00:07:31this all ends tonight.
00:07:36Let go!
00:07:37You're hurting me!
00:07:42What?
00:07:45Chloe,
00:07:46why are you bleeding so much?
00:07:55Alistair,
00:07:56I'm pregnant.
00:07:57It's your baby.
00:07:59Please take me to the hospital.
00:08:00Now is not the time for this.
00:08:02I'm begging you.
00:08:05Please.
00:08:06Sign this,
00:08:08and 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.
00:08:17Take the fall first,
00:08:18and I'll cover everything.
00:08:19The bail,
00:08:20the lawyers,
00:08:20the hospital.
00:08:21If you don't sign,
00:08:22no one is coming for you tonight,
00:08:24and the hospital won't prioritize you.
00:08:26That's a human life,
00:08:28not one of your PR crisis.
00:08:30You think the feds
00:08:30will just take your word for it?
00:08:32If you confess,
00:08:33it'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.
00:08:44Chloe, 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 it now.
00:08:50You said you'd never leave me alone.
00:08:53You said you'd never leave me alone.
00:08:53Sign it now.
00:09:00Wait!
00:09:08Alistin,
00:09:09I knew you wouldn't.
00:09:10If you sign it like this,
00:09:11it 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?
00:09:22The confession must be flawless.
00:09:24Nothing can happen to Victoria.
00:09:25I'm bleeding.
00:09:26And you're worried about the paperwork looking pretty?
00:09:29I already have a car waiting downstairs.
00:09:31Once you sign,
00:09:32I'll take you to the hospital immediately.
00:09:33And if I don't sign it?
00:09:35Then you can keep wasting time here tonight.
00:09:37Wait for the feds to arrive,
00:09:39or wait for the baby to mice rape on its own.
00:09:41Your choice.
00:09:44That's your child, too.
00:09:46Sign the papers first.
00:09:52Alistair,
00:09:53you'll pay for this.
00:09:55Sign it.
00:10:04Don't be afraid.
00:10:05I'm calling an ambulance for you right now.
00:10:11Alistair,
00:10:13save the baby first,
00:10:14I beg you.
00:10:15Save 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.
00:10:23You and the baby will be fine.
00:10:24Let's go.
00:10:25Coming through.
00:10:28Come on.
00:10:30Come on.
00:10:31The patient is facing a severe threatened miscarry
00:10:33with significant uterine bleeding.
00:10:34We must operate immediately to stop the hemorrhage.
00:10:36She's in critical condition.
00:10:37Any further delay,
00:10:37we won't be able to save either the mother or the child.
00:10:39These are the prenatal records
00:10:40of the bleeding logs.
00:10:41Sign us now to authorize a combined procedure
00:10:42for surgery and fetal preservation.
00:10:43Mr. Sterling,
00:10:44there is no time.
00:10:44She's losing blood rapidly.
00:10:45She needs to be in the OR right now.
00:10:47Every minute counts.
00:10:48If we wait any longer,
00:10:49the baby is gone,
00:10:50and the mother's life will be at risk, too.
00:10:53Mr. Sterling,
00:10:54Victoria at DUI.
00:10:55If you want your wife to take the fall,
00:10:57it's best she has no recent record of pregnancy.
00:11:00Otherwise...
00:11:00Understood.
00:11:02Hold 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?
00:11:20You're going to kill our own flesh and blood
00:11:21just for Victoria?
00:11:23As long as you take the fall for the accident,
00:11:25we can have other children later.
00:11:28But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.
00:11:30She cannot have a criminal record.
00:11:32Ma'am, please calm down.
00:11:34She's eight weeks pregnant and hemorrhaging.
00:11:36And you want her to confess to a crime?
00:11:40Save your misplaced sense of justice
00:11:42and do as I say,
00:11:43or you'll be kicked out of the medical profession
00:11:45for good by tomorrow.
00:11:52You didn't come here to save me at all.
00:11:54You 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.
00:12:21Alistair,
00:12:23where is my baby?
00:12:25Where is my baby?
00:12:33The baby wasn't meant to be with us.
00:12:35Don't play games with me.
00:12:36Was it an accident,
00:12:37or did you order the doctor to do it?
00:12:42You're still young.
00:12:43Once you've recovered,
00:12:45we'll have other children.
00:12:48Answer me!
00:12:49Victoria's legal team
00:12:50has been working through the night.
00:12:52I've used the Sterling Family Trust
00:12:53to post your $50 million bail.
00:13:00Alistair,
00:13:01even your way of killing
00:13:02is so refined.
00:13:03I have no patience
00:13:04for your tantrums.
00:13:05Behave yourself.
00:13:06Focus on your recovery.
00:13:07I'm busy lately.
00:13:09Once you're better,
00:13:10head back on your own.
00:13:11No need to let me know.
00:13:13Behave yourself.
00:13:26Oh, you're back.
00:13:28The fabric of this at four
00:13:29is really nice,
00:13:30though the waist is a bit tight.
00:13:35Who gave you permission
00:13:36to wear my clothes?
00:13:37Is there anything in this apartment
00:13:39that actually belongs to you,
00:13:40even that your engagement ring
00:13:41you're wearing?
00:13:42didn't pay for it with his card?
00:13:46Chloe, the doctor said
00:13:47you shouldn't get worked up.
00:13:49Sit down first.
00:13:50Tell
00:13:52to take it off.
00:13:53Alistair, I'm just borrowing it.
00:13:55Does she really have to be so mean?
00:13:59It'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?
00:14:09You've been acting
00:14:09like a total lunaturk lately.
00:14:11Can't you be more sensible?
00:14:12Alistair?
00:14:16He said you looked pathetic last night.
00:14:17Did you know?
00:14:18He complained that your crying
00:14:19was too loud,
00:14:19so he held me in his arms all night.
00:14:21He also said
00:14:22he never forgot about me.
00:14:23You were out of the game
00:14:24from the very beginning.
00:14:26That's very Christian.
00:14:27Christian.
00:14:31Alistair!
00:14:31Help me!
00:14:32Calm down.
00:14:33Put the knife down first.
00:14:35Choose.
00:14:36Choose between us
00:14:37right now!
00:14:38Chloe, what the hell
00:14:39is wrong with you, lady?
00:14:40Be reasonable.
00:14:41I can't be reasonable.
00:14:42Everything changed
00:14:43the moment she came back.
00:14:44Have you forgotten
00:14:45how we lost our baby?
00:14:46Have you forgotten
00:14:47what you promised me?
00:14:48You said you would protect me,
00:14:48but who are you protecting now?
00:14:50Look at me, Alistair!
00:14:51Look at me!
00:14:52Fine.
00:14:53I choose you.
00:14:54Chloe,
00:14:54I choose you.
00:14:56Now let her go
00:14:56and come here.
00:15:05Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:08This is your last warning.
00:15:11Don't you ever touch her?
00:15:33Sign it,
00:15:34and you'll be Mrs. Sterling.
00:15:35It says here
00:15:35that I'm giving up
00:15:36almost all my rights.
00:15:37Don't worry,
00:15:38it's just a formality.
00:15:39Our backgrounds are so different.
00:15:41Without this,
00:15:42my family might not accept you.
00:15:43Listen,
00:15:43this agreement
00:15:44is only to appease the family.
00:15:45My promise to you
00:15:46is right here.
00:15:47I added a handwritten clause.
00:15:48If I ever betray you,
00:15:49or if you feel any unhappiness
00:15:50in this marriage,
00:15:51you can burn it at any time.
00:15:52No lawyers needed,
00:15:52no need to notify me.
00:15:53The moment you burn this agreement,
00:15:54you are free.
00:15:55This is my only true guarantee.
00:16:05You promised.
00:16:06It's over.
00:16:11Brody, it's me.
00:16:13Get me a ticket to Europe
00:16:14for tonight.
00:16:14Sterling.
00:16:14I burned the agreement.
00:16:16Understood.
00:16:17Two hours,
00:16:18the usual spot.
00:16:19Okay.
00:16:27Goodbye, Alistair.
00:16:34It is late.
00:16:35Where do you think you are going?
00:16:37That's none of your business.
00:16:38None of my business?
00:16:39Did you forget the agreement?
00:16:41Wherever you go,
00:16:42you report to me first.
00:16:43The agreement?
00:16:44I burned it.
00:16:44Just now.
00:16:45Alistair,
00:16:46you dare to burn it?
00:16:47That contract is legally binding,
00:16:48Chloe.
00:16:48It is not some toy
00:16:49you can toss into the fire
00:16:50whenever you feel like it.
00:16:51I have put up with enough
00:16:52from you lately.
00:16:52Do not push me.
00:16:53Do you have any idea
00:16:54that agreement is what keeps you,
00:16:55Mrs. Sterling?
00:16:56How the hell am I supposed
00:16:57to protect you
00:16:57when you act like this?
00:16:58I know,
00:16:58but I cannot afford
00:16:59your kind of protection.
00:17:00Did you forget the clause
00:17:01you wrote yourself?
00:17:02You promised that if I was unhappy,
00:17:03I could burn it any time.
00:17:04The second it burned,
00:17:05I was free.
00:17:05That was something I said
00:17:06to make you happy.
00:17:07You think a court
00:17:08will honor that?
00:17:10I promise,
00:17:11once you burn it,
00:17:12you are free.
00:17:13I will not stop you.
00:17:17Chloe!
00:17:21Alistair!
00:17:26Alistair?
00:17:27What happened out here?
00:17:28I thought I heard shouting.
00:17:29Was it Chloe?
00:17:29Is she throwing another tantrum?
00:17:31She ran
00:17:31at that ridiculous recording.
00:17:33A recording?
00:17:33Honey,
00:17:34you cannot seriously be worried.
00:17:35A pre-nap does not vanish
00:17:36because some 20-year-old girl
00:17:38throws it into a fireplace
00:17:39she knows nothing
00:17:39about the law.
00:17:42She is just shaken
00:17:43from the miscarriage
00:17:44and the bail pressure
00:17:45is getting to her.
00:17:45She is trying to scare you.
00:17:47The harder you chase,
00:17:48the more power
00:17:48she thinks she has.
00:17:50Let her cool off.
00:17:51When the money guns out
00:17:52and she has nowhere to go,
00:17:53she will come crawling back.
00:17:55You really think so?
00:17:56Of course.
00:17:57It is just a little girl
00:17:57acting out for attention.
00:17:58We both know it.
00:17:59Besides,
00:18:00every account in her name
00:18:01is tied to your family trust.
00:18:02Without this place,
00:18:03she cannot even afford
00:18:03a hotel room.
00:18:04What matters now
00:18:05is keeping the situation stable.
00:18:06We cannot let the FBI case
00:18:07get complicated
00:18:08because of her emotions.
00:18:10You are right.
00:18:10I am always on your side.
00:18:12Get some rest.
00:18:13You have the legal team tomorrow.
00:18:16Chloe,
00:18:18I will wait for you
00:18:19to come back to me.
00:18:24Your passport and ticket
00:18:25are in the inner pocket.
00:18:27He will not find you.
00:18:29The accounts are wiped.
00:18:30The cameras are covered.
00:18:32You are a ghost now.
00:18:33I handled the airport.
00:18:37We are here.
00:18:38Cargo gate C7.
00:18:40Someone will meet you.
00:18:41Direct flight to Paris.
00:18:43There is some cash inside.
00:18:45When you land,
00:18:45call this number.
00:18:50Chloe,
00:18:51forgive me for being reckless,
00:18:52but I cannot fight this anymore.
00:18:54Will you marry me?
00:18:55Will you be my wife?
00:18:56I am just an ordinary girl.
00:18:59How could I ever be worthy of...
00:19:00Do not ever say that about yourself.
00:19:01To me,
00:19:01you are the most beautiful,
00:19:03purest woman in the world.
00:19:04You deserve everything.
00:19:05It is just a nightgown.
00:19:07Did you really have to come home
00:19:08and turn the whole place
00:19:09into a war zone?
00:19:12Chloe,
00:19:13are you done?
00:19:14Lately,
00:19:15you have been acting
00:19:15like a complete lunatic.
00:19:17Can you please grow up?
00:19:20It is over.
00:19:26Stop thinking about it,
00:19:27Alistair.
00:19:29Chloe needs time
00:19:30to calm down.
00:19:32Get out.
00:19:33What?
00:19:34I said get out.
00:19:36Take off Chloe's nightgown.
00:19:38Do not touch Chloe's things again.
00:19:39It is just a nightgown.
00:19:42Why are you treating Victoria
00:19:43like this because of Chloe?
00:19:44We are the ones who...
00:19:45We are nothing.
00:19:46The woman Alistair loves is Chloe.
00:19:48It was always Chloe.
00:19:49It still is.
00:19:50But Chloe left.
00:19:52Chloe does not give a damn
00:19:53about Alistair.
00:19:54I do.
00:19:55Listen carefully,
00:19:56Victoria.
00:19:57I helped you because of your father,
00:19:58because of those damn business ties.
00:20:00But you have always known
00:20:01where my heart is.
00:20:02Stop doing this.
00:20:03I have done so much for you.
00:20:05Enough.
00:20:06You are tired.
00:20:07Go rest.
00:20:12Three days.
00:20:14Sorry.
00:20:15The number you have dialed
00:20:16is no longer in service.
00:20:24Where the hell did you go?
00:20:26What is that?
00:20:31She actually burned it.
00:20:33It is just a piece of paper.
00:20:35Burning it proves she cares.
00:20:37Cares about what?
00:20:38You.
00:20:38It is a little girl's stunt.
00:20:40The most dramatic way
00:20:41she could think of
00:20:41to get your attention.
00:20:42She thought if she burned
00:20:43the agreement,
00:20:43you would chase after her
00:20:44and prove you cannot live without her.
00:20:46She used a fake ID.
00:20:48Emptied the accounts.
00:20:49So what?
00:20:50Every dime she has
00:20:51eventually leads back
00:20:51to the Sterling Family Trust.
00:20:53Where can she go without you?
00:20:54Sleep on the street?
00:20:54What is she right now?
00:20:55A suspect out on bail?
00:20:57The FBI case is still
00:20:58hanging over her.
00:20:59Besides you,
00:21:00who would dare take her in?
00:21:01The outside world
00:21:02is a hundred times scarier
00:21:03for her than this apartment.
00:21:04Give her time to act out.
00:21:06Once she has suffered enough,
00:21:07she will remember
00:21:08where she belongs.
00:21:09Then she will come back
00:21:10on her own,
00:21:11sweeter than ever.
00:21:12What if she does not come back?
00:21:14Then she never deserved
00:21:15to be Mrs. Sterling.
00:21:16A doll too stupid
00:21:17to understand her own position
00:21:18is not worth keeping,
00:21:19is she?
00:21:20Clean this up.
00:21:21Of course.
00:21:22Fly away, little bird.
00:21:24Let us see how long you last.
00:21:30Were the new spring pieces
00:21:31sent to the wardrobe?
00:21:33Yes, sir.
00:21:33Everything was delivered
00:21:34to the estate
00:21:35yesterday afternoon.
00:21:36As instructed,
00:21:37the sizes and styles
00:21:38followed the previous records exactly.
00:21:41Some of the brands
00:21:42Chloe liked
00:21:42changed creative directors
00:21:43this season.
00:21:44I reviewed the new collections.
00:21:45There are a few dresses
00:21:46Chloe would like.
00:21:46Yes, sir.
00:21:47Every year you personally
00:21:48review the seasonal catalogs
00:21:49and reserve pieces
00:21:50for Mrs. Sterling
00:21:51for Mrs. Chloe.
00:21:52You have done that
00:21:53for three years.
00:21:54Chloe did not take
00:21:55a single thing
00:21:56when Chloe left.
00:21:57Perhaps,
00:21:58Mrs. Chloe knows
00:21:59you have been waiting
00:21:59for Chloe to come back.
00:22:01Waiting for Chloe
00:22:02to come back?
00:22:03No.
00:22:03I am just confirming
00:22:05whether Chloe really
00:22:06has the nerve
00:22:06to stay gone forever.
00:22:08Sir,
00:22:09the emergency meeting
00:22:10is in two hours.
00:22:11They insist you attend.
00:22:12It is about
00:22:13the Asia market acquisition.
00:22:15Tell them I...
00:22:18that silhouette
00:22:19looks so familiar.
00:22:21Is that you, Chloe?
00:22:29Find out.
00:22:30Now.
00:22:31Sir, confirmed.
00:22:32It is Miss Chloe Sterling.
00:22:34She is performing
00:22:35under the stage name
00:22:36Claire Moray now.
00:22:37She is the orchestra's
00:22:37newly signed principal cellist.
00:22:39Her debut is next Friday
00:22:40at the Music Vi...
00:22:41three years.
00:22:43I had her wardrobe
00:22:44at the estate
00:22:45refreshed every season.
00:22:46Those dresses,
00:22:46she never touched
00:22:47a single one.
00:22:48Yes, sir.
00:22:49You have been
00:22:50waiting for her
00:22:51to come back.
00:22:52Claire Moray,
00:22:53you hid well.
00:22:58Cancel the board meeting
00:23:00or let them talk
00:23:00to an empty chair.
00:23:02Right now,
00:23:02contact the airport.
00:23:04I want the next
00:23:04direct flight to Vienna.
00:23:05But, sir,
00:23:06the board...
00:23:08Do it.
00:23:30Sir, rehearsal is closed.
00:23:32No outsiders.
00:23:33Move.
00:23:34I am here for
00:23:35Chloe Sterling.
00:23:36There is no
00:23:36Chloe Sterling here.
00:23:38The woman on Taze
00:23:39is Claire Moray,
00:23:40guest cello soloist
00:23:41for the...
00:23:43festival.
00:23:55She never smiled
00:23:56like that.
00:24:03See that?
00:24:04She is doing well now.
00:24:05She does not need
00:24:06anyone disturbing her.
00:24:08Especially you.
00:24:09Who the hell are you?
00:24:10Her manager
00:24:11and her friend.
00:24:12Leave before rehearsal ends
00:24:13or I call security.
00:24:32Chloe.
00:24:34We need to talk.
00:24:36Now.
00:24:36Sorry.
00:24:37Give me one minute
00:24:38to deal with old business.
00:24:42Have you been with him
00:24:43this whole three years?
00:24:43What does that have
00:24:44to do with you,
00:24:45Mr. Sterling?
00:24:47Listen to me.
00:24:48Back then...
00:24:49I do not want
00:24:50to hear it.
00:24:51I swear,
00:24:52I did not know
00:24:52it would...
00:24:53If I had known
00:24:53you were pregnant,
00:24:54I never would have...
00:24:55You knew.
00:24:55And you still chose
00:24:56what mattered more to you,
00:24:57your empire,
00:24:58your Victoria.
00:24:59Now that the show
00:25:00is over,
00:25:00leave.
00:25:01Sir,
00:25:02Claire needs to
00:25:03continue rehearse.
00:25:04Your disruption
00:25:04is not welcome here.
00:25:07She will not even
00:25:08bother to hear you.
00:25:26Tonight's piece
00:25:27is called
00:25:27Ashes.
00:25:32Coria already said
00:25:33she didn't mean it.
00:25:34Is it really worth
00:25:34making such a scene
00:25:35over nothing?
00:25:36I wrote every single
00:25:37note of this myself.
00:25:38This is two years
00:25:39of my hard work.
00:25:40Allison,
00:25:41you know that
00:25:41better than anyone.
00:25:42Hard work?
00:25:44Chloe,
00:25:45what are you really
00:25:45afraid of losing?
00:25:46This score
00:25:47or the status
00:25:48of the build
00:25:48using it as a prop?
00:25:50This is the piece
00:25:50she wrote back then.
00:26:08I need to speak
00:26:09with you.
00:26:12Chloe.
00:26:12I thought you'd
00:26:13never ask.
00:26:14That last bar
00:26:14was brilliant.
00:26:16Only because your
00:26:17theme gave me
00:26:17something to work.
00:26:1830% of sterling
00:26:19group equity
00:26:19transferred to you
00:26:20unconditionally,
00:26:21sign it
00:26:21and it is yours.
00:26:2330%
00:26:23that is astronomical.
00:26:25Mr. Sterling
00:26:25is generous.
00:26:26The dividends
00:26:27alone must be
00:26:28tens of millions.
00:26:29Music.
00:26:30To rebirth.
00:26:35See that?
00:26:36He just got
00:26:37shut down hard.
00:26:3830% of sterling.
00:26:38Too bad she does
00:26:39not give a damn.
00:26:43You will not
00:26:44even look at it.
00:26:52You do not have to
00:26:53accept it.
00:26:54Just come home
00:26:55with me.
00:26:55Let go.
00:26:56I waited for you
00:26:57for three years.
00:26:58Every single day
00:26:58I thought about you.
00:26:59The confession,
00:27:00Victoria,
00:27:01everything.
00:27:01I finally understand
00:27:02it all.
00:27:03And?
00:27:03The baby.
00:27:04Our baby.
00:27:05I never even got
00:27:06the chance to make
00:27:07it right.
00:27:07Alistair Sterling,
00:27:08is this your
00:27:09repentance act?
00:27:10Who is the audience?
00:27:11These guests or
00:27:12yourself?
00:27:13It is not an act.
00:27:14I am begging you,
00:27:15Chloe, come home.
00:27:16Everything I have
00:27:17is yours.
00:27:18Sterling group,
00:27:18my life,
00:27:19take all of it.
00:27:20Home?
00:27:20Did that place
00:27:21not become yours
00:27:22and Victoria's
00:27:22love nest a long
00:27:23time ago?
00:27:24Did she slept
00:27:25in the bed I slept
00:27:25in?
00:27:26Did you whisper
00:27:27the same sweet lies
00:27:28to her that you
00:27:28whispered to me?
00:27:29Never.
00:27:30I never let her
00:27:31into the master
00:27:31bedroom.
00:27:32If you think
00:27:33the place is dirty,
00:27:33we can burn it
00:27:34down and rebuild it.
00:27:36Rebuild what?
00:27:38Ashes are ashes,
00:27:39just like our rings
00:27:39in that agreement.
00:27:40Burned.
00:27:41Gone.
00:27:42Never coming back.
00:27:43Then what about me?
00:27:44These three years
00:27:44I have been walking
00:27:45around like a corpse.
00:27:46What the hell
00:27:47am I supposed to do?
00:27:49You?
00:27:50Go back to Wall Street,
00:27:51hold your equity papers
00:27:52tight,
00:27:52take Victoria with you
00:27:53and grow old together.
00:28:07Do not go.
00:28:09Please.
00:28:10Let go.
00:28:10I was wrong.
00:28:12Everything.
00:28:13It started with
00:28:14Victoria's goddamn
00:28:14car accident
00:28:15and I was wrong
00:28:16from that moment.
00:28:17I forged the confession
00:28:18and used the agreement
00:28:19to force you to sign,
00:28:20not because I believed
00:28:21that bullshit.
00:28:22I did it because
00:28:23I was scared.
00:28:24Scared of what?
00:28:25Scared you would see
00:28:26how rotten I was.
00:28:27Scared you would realize
00:28:28I was framing my own
00:28:29wife to save
00:28:29another woman's freedom.
00:28:31Scared you would look
00:28:31down on me,
00:28:32scared you would leave,
00:28:33so I pushed you
00:28:33off the cliff first.
00:28:34Thought that would
00:28:35bind you to me.
00:28:36Guilt,
00:28:36the baby,
00:28:37the debt you owed me,
00:28:38but I destroyed
00:28:39everything with
00:28:40my own hands.
00:28:41The baby,
00:28:42our baby.
00:28:43Are you done?
00:28:44We should go say
00:28:45goodbye to the conductor.
00:28:57I am honored
00:28:58by your invitation.
00:29:01Miss Sterling,
00:29:02congratulations on
00:29:03the huge success
00:29:03of your European tour.
00:29:05Many fans are curious,
00:29:06how did you create
00:29:06a piece as moving
00:29:07as ashes?
00:29:09I think it came
00:29:10from the people
00:29:11who helped me
00:29:12and from things
00:29:13I had no choice
00:29:14but to survive.
00:29:15What experiences?
00:29:16There was a time
00:29:17in my life
00:29:18when I was very
00:29:18closed off.
00:29:20On paper,
00:29:21I had a home.
00:29:22In reality,
00:29:23I was more like
00:29:24a carefully kept
00:29:25possession.
00:29:25You mean
00:29:27your marriage?
00:29:28Yes,
00:29:29a marriage built
00:29:30on enormous
00:29:31equality and lies.
00:29:32I was too young
00:29:33then,
00:29:34naive enough
00:29:34to believe talent
00:29:35and love
00:29:35could bridge anything.
00:29:36then I was
00:29:37betrayed
00:29:37and I lost
00:29:38my child.
00:29:40That is
00:29:42heartbreaking.
00:29:43I was lucky.
00:29:44After I escaped,
00:29:45I met people
00:29:46in Europe
00:29:46who truly respected
00:29:47art and human dignity.
00:29:49They gave me shelter
00:29:50and a stage
00:29:51and allowed me
00:29:52to live purely
00:29:52for music.
00:29:53So you see
00:29:54that unhappy marriage
00:29:55as the catalyst
00:29:55for your artistic
00:29:56transformation?
00:29:57It is part of my life
00:29:58that cannot be erased.
00:30:00I do not thank
00:30:01that experience,
00:30:01but I thank the woman
00:30:03who crawled out
00:30:03of the rubbles.
00:30:04As for the other
00:30:05person in that marriage,
00:30:10my past
00:30:11and that name
00:30:12with it
00:30:12is over.
00:30:13Like a fire
00:30:14that burned itself out,
00:30:15only ashes remain.
00:30:16I will not
00:30:17and I do not want
00:30:18to have even
00:30:19the slightest connection
00:30:20with anyone
00:30:21from that past again.
00:30:22My life
00:30:23and my music
00:30:23are moving forward.
00:30:24I will not
00:30:25and I do not want
00:30:27to have even
00:30:28the slightest connection
00:30:29with anyone
00:30:30from that past again.
00:30:33Promise me
00:30:34we will not be apart
00:30:35for a hundred years.
00:30:36Not a hundred years.
00:30:38Forever, Chloe.
00:30:40Not even
00:30:41the slightest connection.
00:30:43Did we not promise
00:30:45each other
00:30:45we were supposed
00:30:46to be together
00:30:47forever?
00:30:48Forever.
00:30:52Thank you for driving
00:30:53me home, Julian.
00:30:54And thank you
00:30:54for tonight's performance.
00:30:56The honor was mine.
00:30:57Get some rest.
00:30:59Move.
00:31:00Chloe, please.
00:31:01Just five minutes.
00:31:02No, one minute.
00:31:03Let me say one thing.
00:31:05One moment.
00:31:06I was wrong.
00:31:07I know I was wrong.
00:31:08I do not want
00:31:09anything anymore.
00:31:10I will give you everything.
00:31:11Please look at me.
00:31:12Just look at me.
00:31:13Alistair,
00:31:14you are blocking my way.
00:31:15I said move.
00:31:17What?
00:31:17Chloe, I...
00:31:18I said move.
00:31:30Brody Cook,
00:31:31we need to talk.
00:31:32Name your price.
00:31:34Leave Chloe.
00:31:35Whatever resources,
00:31:36connections,
00:31:37channels you have,
00:31:38Sterling Group
00:31:38will double them.
00:31:39Alistair,
00:31:40you still think
00:31:41money fixes everything?
00:31:42She is not safe
00:31:43in her current situation.
00:31:45With me,
00:31:46she would have
00:31:46the best protection.
00:31:47Protection?
00:31:49Was it not you
00:31:49who left her bleeding
00:31:50and cost her the baby
00:31:51three years ago?
00:31:52Then what does she need?
00:31:53That Vanderbilt?
00:31:54What can you give her?
00:31:55Peace?
00:31:56Respect?
00:31:57A place where she does
00:31:58not have to wonder
00:31:59if the man beside her
00:32:00will send her to prison.
00:32:01Save it, Mr. Staling.
00:32:02Your price cannot buy
00:32:04my conscience
00:32:04and it sure as hell
00:32:05cannot buy back
00:32:05her three years.
00:32:08He came to see me.
00:32:10Offered a blank check
00:32:11if I would leave you.
00:32:11Oh.
00:32:12I blocked every way
00:32:13he can contact me
00:32:14but you need to be careful.
00:32:15I'm afraid his next move
00:32:16will be even more unhinged.
00:32:18Three years ago,
00:32:18he used the law as a chain,
00:32:20our child as Albridge,
00:32:21and my life to buy
00:32:22another woman's freedom.
00:32:23What else can he possibly do?
00:32:24Your reputation,
00:32:25your performance,
00:32:25everything you have in Europe.
00:32:26I have already lost
00:32:27the most precious thing I had.
00:32:28There is nothing left
00:32:29in this game.
00:32:38Happy anniversary,
00:32:39my wife.
00:32:47Claire,
00:32:49you look pale.
00:32:50I am fine.
00:32:51I did not sleep well last night.
00:32:53Do you need to postpone
00:32:53this afternoon's ensemble rehearsal?
00:32:55What date is it?
00:32:57October 19th.
00:32:58Of course.
00:32:59Five years ago today,
00:33:01we were officially married.
00:33:02Why would Alistair send me this now?
00:33:04What the hell is he trying to do?
00:33:07Julian,
00:33:07if someone used a day
00:33:08you never wanted to remember
00:33:09to remind you how stupid
00:33:11you used to be,
00:33:12what would you do?
00:33:13I would tell myself
00:33:13that day is dead.
00:33:14Today is what survived.
00:33:16He is such a fool.
00:33:17He really thinks
00:33:18this random photo
00:33:18and blessing
00:33:19can patch over my scars.
00:33:21You still care about him,
00:33:21do you not?
00:33:27I just think
00:33:28he is stupid
00:33:29and I feel sorry
00:33:29for the person
00:33:30I used to be.
00:33:31It is over now.
00:33:33There is nothing
00:33:33to care about.
00:33:38Oh my God,
00:33:39those are blue
00:33:40phantom roses.
00:33:41They must have been
00:33:42flown in.
00:33:44The card is gorgeous.
00:33:46My other half
00:33:47of my soul.
00:33:48Who brought these in?
00:33:49Did I not say
00:33:50every gift goes
00:33:51through me first?
00:33:51The florist brought them
00:33:52straight to the backstage door.
00:33:53They said they were
00:33:54specifically for Claire.
00:34:00They are beautiful.
00:34:01I bet they are
00:34:02even prettier in real life.
00:34:03But I heard
00:34:04they are almost impossible
00:34:05to grow
00:34:05and they bloom
00:34:05for only a moment.
00:34:06I guess they were
00:34:07never meant for me.
00:34:08Nothing is impossible
00:34:08to disturb us.
00:34:09Not if you want it.
00:34:10Forget it.
00:34:11Some things
00:34:11are just not meant to be.
00:34:13Chloe!
00:34:14Chloe?
00:34:15Are you okay?
00:34:17Give it to me.
00:34:18Leave the flowers.
00:34:20Put them here.
00:34:20They are pretty.
00:34:33Chloe, are you sure
00:34:34you're okay?
00:34:35It's just a flower, Brody.
00:34:36I'm fine.
00:34:37Just drop it,
00:34:38will you?
00:34:40Chloe,
00:34:41you are the other
00:34:42half of my soul.
00:34:43The missing part of me.
00:34:45Only you can make me whole.
00:34:47In that moment,
00:34:48I thought I had caught
00:34:49every star in the sky.
00:34:50The other half of my soul.
00:34:58Not mine.
00:34:59Never meant to be mine.
00:35:05Chloe!
00:35:10Tell me,
00:35:11what happened?
00:35:12In that cafe in New York,
00:35:14before he kissed me
00:35:15for the first time,
00:35:16that is exactly
00:35:16what he said.
00:35:17My other half of my soul.
00:35:19I am getting you time off.
00:35:21Go home and really...
00:35:22No, I'm in fine.
00:35:23You're sure?
00:35:24I am sure.
00:35:25The harder he tries
00:35:26to nail me to the past,
00:35:27the more I will make him see
00:35:28those memories
00:35:28cannot hurt me anymore.
00:35:30I will not drown in the past.
00:35:31Never.
00:35:34Mr. Sterling,
00:35:35these are the records
00:35:36you requested.
00:35:36How bad was she
00:35:37when she was brought in?
00:35:38All of them.
00:35:39Extremely bad.
00:35:39The patient was already
00:35:40showing early signs
00:35:41of hemorrhagic shock.
00:35:42We recommended
00:35:42immediate surgery.
00:35:43It was the only way
00:35:43to try to save
00:35:44both mother and child.
00:35:45Why did you not insist?
00:35:47You signed a form.
00:35:48You said as long as
00:35:48she could talk in authority
00:35:49to overturn the family's
00:35:50explicit instructions.
00:35:51If you had done
00:35:51the surgery with a baby,
00:35:52there would at least
00:35:53have been a chance,
00:35:54but after you refused,
00:35:54that child could not be saved.
00:35:56We later found the patient
00:35:57had already been delayed
00:35:57at home for at least
00:35:58more than 40 minutes
00:35:59before she arrived.
00:36:00After arrival,
00:36:01waiting for your signature
00:36:02across the best
00:36:03intervention window.
00:36:04Delayed how long?
00:36:06Nearly two hours.
00:36:07The records show
00:36:08the hemorrhage
00:36:08became fully controllable
00:36:09after midnight.
00:36:10We later assessed
00:36:11that if she had arrived
00:36:12half an hour later
00:36:13or if the bleeding
00:36:13had been slightly worse,
00:36:14we might not have
00:36:15saved the mother either.
00:36:17You're that child.
00:36:18It was me.
00:36:19It was all me.
00:36:22I killed Chloe's
00:36:23and my baby
00:36:24with my own hands,
00:36:26all for Victoria.
00:36:31At 10.17 p.m.,
00:36:32she started bleeding.
00:36:33At 10.20,
00:36:34I took out the document.
00:36:35I made her sign.
00:36:37Her hands were shaking.
00:36:38She could not write.
00:36:40Blood soaked the paper.
00:36:42At 10.50,
00:36:43she finished signing.
00:36:44I called.
00:36:46Then I waited.
00:36:4847 minutes.
00:36:49After I hung up,
00:36:50I did not call again.
00:36:57Alistair,
00:36:58I'm pregnant.
00:36:59It's your name.
00:37:00Please take me to the hospital.
00:37:02Now is not the time for this.
00:37:04I'm begging you.
00:37:06Please.
00:37:08Sign this
00:37:09and I'll arrange
00:37:10for the hospital immediately.
00:37:13You still want me to sign?
00:37:15The accident for this
00:37:16is all a rope.
00:37:17Victoria did not go to prison.
00:37:19Take the fall first
00:37:20and I'll cover everything.
00:37:21The bail,
00:37:22the lawyers,
00:37:22the hospital.
00:37:23If you don't sign,
00:37:24no one is coming for you tonight
00:37:26and the hospital
00:37:27won't prioritize you.
00:37:28The doctor said surgery.
00:37:30I said no.
00:37:33Too risky.
00:37:37Cancel the surgery?
00:37:38You're going to kill
00:37:39our own flesh and blood
00:37:40just for Victoria?
00:37:41As long as you take
00:37:42the fall for the accident,
00:37:44we can have other children.
00:37:46But Victoria's reputation
00:37:48is vital to her.
00:37:49She cannot have
00:37:50a criminal record.
00:37:52I chose it.
00:37:53No ambulance,
00:37:54no surgery.
00:37:56She had to sign first.
00:38:03Even the fall
00:38:04that sent her to the hospital,
00:38:07that was because of me too.
00:38:09Chloe,
00:38:09don't push me.
00:38:10Once you leave your print,
00:38:11this all ends tonight.
00:38:17Let go!
00:38:18You're hurting me!
00:38:24Every step
00:38:26was me.
00:38:26It was her.
00:38:27She was driving.
00:38:29She killed that person.
00:38:31She begged me to save her.
00:38:33Yes,
00:38:34it was her.
00:38:34She drove a wedge between us.
00:38:36She nailed in front of me
00:38:36saying her career,
00:38:37her name,
00:38:38her future were over.
00:38:39She cried that only Chloe
00:38:39could save her.
00:38:40I'm saying you should
00:38:41know your place.
00:38:42So what if you're his wife?
00:38:43You live in his house,
00:38:45enter his office.
00:38:46I sit on his sofa,
00:38:47and he pours my drinks himself.
00:38:52Exactly.
00:38:53If it were not for Victoria,
00:38:54why would Chloe
00:38:55have been pushed that far?
00:38:56Why would I have forced Chloe?
00:38:57Why would I have lost our baby?
00:38:59That is right.
00:38:59It was all because of her.
00:39:01I need to find her.
00:39:02Now!
00:39:08Mr. Sterling was so easy to fool.
00:39:10One perfectly staged elevator malfunction,
00:39:13one perfectly timed twisted ankle,
00:39:14and he believed I was his destined soulmate.
00:39:17That old money type is arrogant
00:39:18and naive to the bone.
00:39:20I played the independent self-made woman
00:39:21for him all these years
00:39:22for exactly this.
00:39:24Sooner or later,
00:39:24every Sterling group asset
00:39:25will carry the Thorn name.
00:39:28As for the baby,
00:39:29losing that common girl's child
00:39:30was good for me.
00:39:31an heir with ordinary blood
00:39:33would only dilute
00:39:33the Sterling fortune.
00:39:38Alistair?
00:39:39What are you doing here?
00:39:41You have been playing me
00:39:42this whole time.
00:39:44No!
00:39:45I love you.
00:39:45Everything you did was for us.
00:39:47That Chloe never deserved you.
00:39:49She only dragged you...
00:39:50You.
00:39:51You built our beginning on lies.
00:39:54You schemed to tear Chloe and me apart.
00:39:56You...
00:39:57You killed my child!
00:39:59You drove her away!
00:40:00This is all your fault!
00:40:02There has to be a misunderstanding.
00:40:04I can explain...
00:40:05Save your explanation for the Feds.
00:40:08You are turning me over to the Bureau?
00:40:20For three years,
00:40:22you used my trust to move assets,
00:40:25forge documents,
00:40:26and frame Chloe.
00:40:29Any one of those
00:40:30could put you in federal prison
00:40:31for decades.
00:40:34Alistair,
00:40:35what are you talking about?
00:40:39The Bureau's preliminary evidence list?
00:40:41Your lawyer will receive
00:40:42official notice tomorrow.
00:40:44No!
00:40:45Alistair,
00:40:46you cannot do this to me!
00:40:47I love you!
00:40:48Everything I did was for you!
00:40:50We can explain!
00:40:51We can...
00:40:51Explain?
00:40:52To whom?
00:40:53To the child you helped kill?
00:40:55The baby!
00:40:56The baby was an accident!
00:40:59Chloe's body was weak!
00:41:00An accident?
00:41:02That night,
00:41:03you told me that once Chloe signed,
00:41:05everything would be fine.
00:41:06You said,
00:41:07there was still time.
00:41:09And you believed whatever I said?
00:41:11Alistair,
00:41:12you were the one
00:41:12who did not want to call that ambulance.
00:41:14You were afraid she would back out,
00:41:16afraid she would run,
00:41:18afraid your perfect scapegoat
00:41:19would disappear.
00:41:21You pushed me to delay.
00:41:24You handed her the papers.
00:41:27You set the terms.
00:41:28You forced her to sign.
00:41:30You just do not want to admit
00:41:31that from start to finish,
00:41:32the person who most wanted her
00:41:33to take the fall was you.
00:41:35Me?
00:41:36I only said the filthy little thought
00:41:38already sitting in your head.
00:41:40Alistair,
00:41:41the person who killed your child
00:41:42was not me.
00:41:43It was you.
00:41:48Do you know what happened?
00:41:50That night,
00:41:51I came to you crying
00:41:52because I was scared.
00:41:54Alistair,
00:41:55help me!
00:41:56I hit someone!
00:41:57That person,
00:41:58that person is not moving!
00:42:00I did not mean to.
00:42:02The road was too dark.
00:42:04Who was the victim?
00:42:05Any witnesses?
00:42:06I do not know.
00:42:08Maybe a homeless man?
00:42:09I think,
00:42:09I do not think anyone saw.
00:42:11Victoria,
00:42:11you know what that means.
00:42:13Vehicular manslaughter,
00:42:15federal felony,
00:42:16your career,
00:42:17your reputation,
00:42:18everything is over.
00:42:19Please.
00:42:20I know you have a way.
00:42:22You know so many people.
00:42:26Are you sure you left no evidence
00:42:27that can be traced back to you?
00:42:29I am sure.
00:42:30I already got rid of the car,
00:42:31and there are no cameras on that road.
00:42:33You need a scapegoat.
00:42:35Someone important enough,
00:42:37and controllable enough.
00:42:40What?
00:42:42Chloe.
00:42:43No.
00:42:44That is not how it happened.
00:42:46Remember now?
00:42:47You said it yourself.
00:42:49We need a scapegoat.
00:42:51Someone important enough,
00:42:52and controllable enough.
00:42:54Then you said her name.
00:42:57So do not put all of this on me, Alistair.
00:43:00You sent your wife to hell
00:43:02with your own hands.
00:43:17I can carry it myself.
00:43:19It is windy today.
00:43:23Coffee after rehearsal?
00:43:25That new place you wanted to try
00:43:26with the chestnut cake?
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:29She smiled.
00:43:31In a world without me,
00:43:35she is so alive.
00:43:44What is it?
00:43:45Nothing.
00:43:56Chloe.
00:43:59Yes?
00:44:00There is something I have wanted to say
00:44:01for a long time.
00:44:02These three years,
00:44:03watching you rise from the wreckage
00:44:05and walk into the spotlight
00:44:06has been the greatest honor of my life.
00:44:07I admire your talent,
00:44:09and I ache for how strong
00:44:10you have had to be.
00:44:11If you would let me,
00:44:12I want to stand by your side
00:44:14in the future,
00:44:14not only as your patron and friend.
00:44:18Would you...
00:44:19give me a chance?
00:44:20Give me a chance?
00:44:25Julian,
00:44:26you are my dearest friend
00:44:27and the person I am most grateful to.
00:44:29Without you,
00:44:30I would not be who I am today.
00:44:31But,
00:44:32my heart is a ruin.
00:44:34Nothing new grows there,
00:44:36and no one deserves
00:44:36to step inside it again.
00:44:38I understand.
00:44:39Thank you for understanding.
00:44:41We can still be friends, right?
00:44:43Of course.
00:44:44Let us go try that chestnut cake.
00:44:52Sir,
00:44:53the flight departs in 45 minutes.
00:44:54We should head to the gate.
00:44:55The highly anticipated
00:44:57Voices of Hope charity concert
00:44:58will be held tonight
00:44:59at City Hall Concert Hall.
00:45:01Organizers recently confirmed
00:45:03that the stage build
00:45:04and lighting work
00:45:05will be handled
00:45:05by local contractor
00:45:06Pinnock Vision.
00:45:07Run that contractor.
00:45:09Pinnock Vision,
00:45:09I want every background check
00:45:10and safety record.
00:45:15Found it.
00:45:16This company
00:45:17has three OSHA complaints,
00:45:19and last year in Munich
00:45:21there was a serious stage collapse.
00:45:23How the hell could they hire them?
00:45:32Cancel the flight.
00:45:33But,
00:45:34the meeting.
00:45:34Cancel it.
00:45:35Now.
00:45:36Yes.
00:45:37I will handle it right away.
00:45:39She is still that little girl
00:45:41who needs someone
00:45:41watching over her.
00:45:43Without me,
00:45:44she cannot even protect herself.
00:45:46Chloe,
00:45:46please do not let
00:45:47anything happen to you.
00:45:59Chloe!
00:46:01Move!
00:46:01It is dangerous!
00:46:03No!
00:46:05No!
00:46:05No!
00:46:20Oh my God!
00:46:21Call an ambulance!
00:46:23Are you...
00:46:24Are you okay?
00:46:26Are you insane?
00:46:29As long as you are okay.
00:46:34Your arm.
00:46:37Just a scratch.
00:46:40Claire!
00:46:41Are you hurt?
00:46:45Why are you here?
00:46:46You again?
00:46:47The contractor's records were bad.
00:46:50I found out,
00:46:51but...
00:46:52I was half a step too late.
00:46:58Wipe it.
00:46:59Your hand.
00:47:09As long as you are safe.
00:47:10I asked about your injury.
00:47:12Surface wound.
00:47:13I will not die.
00:47:17About the chandelier,
00:47:18by the time I found the records,
00:47:19it was too late.
00:47:20I could only...
00:47:22Run.
00:47:22You do not need to explain.
00:47:25I said thank you.
00:47:26That is all.
00:47:34Chloe.
00:47:36I got all the hospital records.
00:47:38That night,
00:47:39you were bleeding so much,
00:47:41lying on the floor,
00:47:42begging me.
00:47:44I held the papers
00:47:45and waited for you to sign.
00:47:47I waited 47 minutes.
00:47:49The doctor said I signed a consent
00:47:52for bleeding control,
00:47:53not surgical authorization.
00:47:56The baby's heartbeat
00:47:57stopped at minute 35.
00:48:01I delayed him to death.
00:48:03Shut up!
00:48:05What is the point of saying this now?
00:48:07There is no point.
00:48:09None at all.
00:48:14I just wanted Chloe to know
00:48:15Alistair found out everything.
00:48:18Victoria,
00:48:18the accident,
00:48:19and
00:48:20Alistair's own choices.
00:48:22Alistair was the source.
00:48:23My existence is the source
00:48:24of all your pain.
00:48:25Every time I come near you,
00:48:26you remember blood,
00:48:27you remember the child
00:48:28who never got to be born,
00:48:29you remember how filthy I am.
00:48:31So?
00:48:31So I disappear.
00:48:32It is the only thing
00:48:33I can still do for you.
00:48:35Alistair!
00:48:47Promise me we will not be apart
00:48:49for a hundred years.
00:48:51Not a hundred years.
00:48:54Forever, Chloe.
00:48:56Forever.
00:48:59Chloe, forgive me for being reckless,
00:49:01but I cannot fight this anymore.
00:49:03Will you marry me?
00:49:04Will you be my wife?
00:49:05I...
00:49:06I am just an ordinary girl.
00:49:08How could I ever be worthy of...
00:49:09Do not ever say that about yourself.
00:49:10To me,
00:49:11you are the most beautiful,
00:49:12purest woman in the world.
00:49:13You deserve everything.
00:49:18Alistair.
00:49:20Good.
00:49:21Go.
00:49:27It is over.
00:49:31Sir, please reconsider.
00:49:33These assets are to shape
00:49:34the entire industry,
00:49:34especially the family fund
00:49:35and Kurgutran years of your life.
00:49:37I know.
00:49:37This is not just wealth.
00:49:39It is all your power and protection.
00:49:41Once you sign,
00:49:42there is no going back.
00:49:43Begin.
00:49:48The irreversible trust
00:49:49naming Miss Chloe Stangling
00:49:51as sole beneficiary
00:49:52is now officially in effect.
00:49:54It covers all equity,
00:49:55real estate,
00:49:56liquid assets,
00:49:57liquid assets,
00:49:57and family fund interests
00:49:58under your name.
00:50:00This is the copy.
00:50:01According to the terms,
00:50:02the trustee will notify
00:50:03the beneficiary
00:50:04at the appropriate time.
00:50:06She does not need to know.
00:50:08But you may leave.
00:50:24Chloe, this is the only thing
00:50:25I can still give you.
00:50:41Claire!
00:50:42Your playing was so beautiful!
00:50:45I want to be a cellist
00:50:46like you someday!
00:50:50Thank you, sweetheart.
00:50:52I love them.
00:50:53When you bowed just now,
00:50:54you kept looking over there.
00:50:56Was your music for someone
00:50:57who sat there?
00:50:58Like in a story?
00:51:10No, my music is only for me.
00:51:12He did not come.
00:51:13I should have known.
00:51:14It really is all over.
00:51:22Chloe, this arrived anonymously this morning.
00:51:24It is a family trust beneficiary transfer
00:51:29worth hundreds of billions.
00:51:30You are named the sole beneficiary.
00:51:36It is Alistair.
00:51:38Tell them I refuse.
00:51:39Chloe, do you understand what this means?
00:51:42An astronomical fortune and...
00:51:45In a way...
00:51:46In a way?
00:51:47Compensation?
00:51:48Or charity?
00:51:49Brody, I do not need it.
00:51:52Putting a price tag on a life with...
00:51:54Putting a price tag on a life with money?
00:51:57Alistair, you really have not changed.
00:52:00Send it back untouched.
00:52:02I do not need anything from him,
00:52:03and I do not need to leave him any message.
00:52:17Who about them, Seller?
00:52:20How dare they?
00:52:22Right.
00:52:23Even the last thing,
00:52:25she does not want it.
00:52:28Sir, we have news from the federal side.
00:52:30Miss Victoria has been released on bail.
00:52:32I am worried she will...
00:52:32No, Chloe may be in danger.
00:53:00Chloe, what happened?
00:53:02What was that?
00:53:03Nothing.
00:53:04Just an old photo.
00:53:10This is not a prank, Chloe.
00:53:12This is dangerous.
00:53:14You cannot be alone.
00:53:15I am taking you home.
00:53:17I am fine.
00:53:18You have been busy lately,
00:53:19and I have already caused you enough trouble.
00:53:22Call me if anything happens.
00:53:26I will.
00:53:28The following time on bail.
00:53:29Oh, God.
00:53:31I am fine.
00:53:57Do not move.
00:53:59We only want your hand.
00:54:05How much did Victoria pay you?
00:54:07I will double it.
00:54:09Save it, Mrs. Sterling.
00:54:11We get paid to do a job, and we follow rules.
00:54:24Alistair.
00:54:27Stop!
00:54:31Alistair, you said you would disappear from my world.
00:54:35Why did you come back?
00:54:37How did this happen?
00:54:38Do not scare me like this.
00:54:40You are safe.
00:54:42Thank God you are safe.
00:54:56Are you okay?
00:54:58Did they hurt your hand?
00:55:03I need to report a crime.
00:55:04South parking lot of the Vienna Concert Hall.
00:55:06Armed assault.
00:55:07Attempted intentional injury.
00:55:09The suspect is restrained.
00:55:10Also, this involves cross-border crime and a federal felony state voting case in New York
00:55:14from three years ago.
00:55:15I have the full chain of evidence.
00:55:18Watch him.
00:55:19Do not let anyone near him.
00:55:31Chloe is going to be okay.
00:55:43Doctor, how is he?
00:55:51The patient has lost too much blood.
00:55:54His blood pressure is barely detectable.
00:55:56He needs an emergency transfusion, but...
00:55:59But what?
00:56:01He is RH negative.
00:56:03The blood bank has no supply.
00:56:05His condition is critical, and we must find a matching donor immediately.
00:56:08We have contacted every nearby hospital and blood center, but...
00:56:12Take mine.
00:56:15What?
00:56:16Do you hear yourself?
00:56:17You are going to save him?
00:56:19The man who nearly destroyed you?
00:56:22Anonymous.
00:56:23Do not record my name.
00:56:25Draw the blood, and I leave immediately.
00:56:27If you agree, I will sign now.
00:56:30All right.
00:56:31Please sign the confidentiality agreement and consent form here.
00:56:36She really signed it.
00:56:42Why?
00:56:42He pushed you into hell and made you lose everything!
00:56:45Have you forgotten the baby?
00:56:48I am not saving him.
00:56:50I just...
00:56:51do not want to owe him a life.
00:56:53Three years ago, he gave me a home, then destroyed me with his own hands.
00:56:56Now I give him my blood back.
00:56:57From this moment on, we owe each other nothing.
00:57:03The stab wound is deep, and he lost a lot of blood.
00:57:05We saved him, but whether he wakes up, and when, depends on his will and recovery.
00:57:09The next 24 hours are critical.
00:57:11Wake up.
00:57:12You think taking that knife and bleeding like this makes us even?
00:57:15You think because you are lying here, I can forget my child?
00:57:18Forget every time you abandoned me for Victoria?
00:57:21I cannot forget.
00:57:22I cannot forget when the doctor told me the baby was gone, your signature was at the bottom of that
00:57:27document.
00:57:28So cold.
00:57:29So quick.
00:57:31What is this?
00:57:31You lying here?
00:57:33Repentance?
00:57:33Atonement?
00:57:34It is too late.
00:57:35My child is not coming back.
00:57:37The Chloe who once believed you in that practice room is not coming back either.
00:57:40Wake up.
00:57:41Look at me.
00:57:42I want you to see with your own eyes that without you, without the sterling name, I can still stand
00:57:46at the very top.
00:57:47I want you alive, fully awake, and remembering what you lost forever.
00:57:51Do not just die like this.
00:57:54You still owe me too much.
00:57:59You have to wake up.
00:58:03Alliston, you heard me.
00:58:04You are awake, are you not?
00:58:06Alliston!
00:58:09Direct flight to Zurich.
00:58:11Leaves in two hours.
00:58:12The studio and apartment there are ready.
00:58:15News just came from the States.
00:58:17Victoria's extradition is complete.
00:58:19She is being flown back this afternoon under escort.
00:58:22Federal felony?
00:58:23Multiple charges, including attempted murder, cross-border murder for here, and financial fraud.
00:58:27With stacked sentences, she is never getting out.
00:58:30Got it.
00:58:30That is your reaction?
00:58:32She almost ruined your life and-
00:58:33Hate takes energy.
00:58:34I do not have any left, and I do not want to waste it here.
00:58:41You could even say that.
00:58:45I saved myself.
00:58:46From now on, I owe them nothing.
00:59:10Chloe, darling.
00:59:12What time is it?
00:59:13When did you change the bedroom?
00:59:15No.
00:59:16This is a hospital.
00:59:19Why am I in a hospital?
00:59:23Mr. Sterling, please do not move.
00:59:26I am fine.
00:59:27Where is Chloe?
00:59:28Where am I?
00:59:29Mr. Sterling, this is the ICU.
00:59:31You were stabbed and have been unconscious for four days.
00:59:33No.
00:59:34I clearly remember us watching the city lights on the rooftop last night.
00:59:38Sir, you need to lie down.
00:59:40You had internal bleeding and just came out of surgery.
00:59:43You need complete bed rest.
00:59:45Miss Chloe Sterling is not here.
00:59:47Not here?
00:59:48Where did she go?
00:59:49I heard she went to Zurich.
00:59:53Zurich?
00:59:54For work?
00:59:55Why did I not know?
00:59:58I do not know the details.
01:00:00I only heard she left.
01:00:01Maybe it is just a last minute performance.
01:00:04Or she did not tell me because she wanted to surprise me.
01:00:08When is she coming back?
01:00:10I really do not know.
01:00:12No.
01:00:12What is this feeling?
01:00:14It feels like I lost her.
01:00:15What the hell happened?
01:00:16What the hell happened?
01:00:21I mean, choreo artist actually didn't mean it.
01:00:23Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
01:00:25I wrote every single note of this myself.
01:00:27This is two years of my hard work.
01:00:30Alistair, you know that better than anyone.
01:00:32Hard work?
01:00:34Chloe, what are you really afraid of using?
01:00:36This score?
01:00:37Or the status you built using it as a prop?
01:00:39A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the sterling family through a marriage search of a
01:00:44kid.
01:00:44Who are you trying to impress with this wrong woman?
01:00:48Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance of finding the top?
01:00:57Cancel this surgery?
01:00:58You're going to kill our own flesh and blood just for Victoria?
01:01:01As long as you take the fall for the accident, we can have other children.
01:01:07Why are these memories flooding my head?
01:01:10Where is Chloe?
01:01:12What did I do to her?
01:01:14Okay, okay, okay.
01:01:15Mr. Sterling, please calm down and stop thinking so hard.
01:01:19You need rest right now.
01:01:21You cannot get this agitated.
01:01:23Tell me, were those real?
01:01:26Did I do that to her?
01:01:28I...
01:01:29Please lie down first, I will get the doctor.
01:01:41The wound is healing well, no sign of infection.
01:01:44But the blood loss left you very weak.
01:01:46You need time to recover.
01:01:48Blood loss?
01:01:48Yes.
01:01:49When you were admitted, your condition was critical.
01:01:51Acute massive bleeding, hemogyme at a dangerous level.
01:01:54We performed an emergency transfusion.
01:01:56You were lucky.
01:01:57Someone volunteered to donate blood.
01:01:59And saved your life.
01:02:00Who?
01:02:00I am sorry, Mr. Sterling.
01:02:02The donor signed a strict confidentiality agreement.
01:02:05We are not authorized to disclose that.
01:02:10Allison, look!
01:02:11We have the same blood type.
01:02:12What are the odds?
01:02:13It is rare.
01:02:14The odds feel like fate.
01:02:16So if anything ever happens to either of us, the other can be their blood bank, right?
01:02:20I do not say I'm lucky things, but yes, I will protect you any way I can.
01:02:27Chloe was here.
01:02:29Was Chloe not?
01:02:30The donor, was it Chloe?
01:02:31I cannot answer questions about visitors.
01:02:34You need rest.
01:02:36Tell me!
01:02:37Mr. Sterling, please calm down.
01:02:39Any information about the donor is legally protected.
01:02:49Mr. Sterling.
01:02:52There is an update on Ms. Thorne.
01:02:54The extradition process is complete.
01:02:55She was put on a flight back to New York under police escort this morning.
01:02:58What?
01:02:59Three days ago.
01:03:00The day after your surgery.
01:03:01Also, Chloe.
01:03:03The afternoon after Alistair's surgery ended and Alistair was confirmed out of danger,
01:03:06Chloe boarded a flight and left to destination Zurich.
01:03:09Mr. Brody Cookup, Chloe's manager, Pumbrick released her leg of Chloe's Odo tour schedule.
01:03:12That afternoon?
01:03:14Yes.
01:03:15Flight records show takeoff at 4.15pm.
01:03:18She gave blood and left without looking back.
01:03:21Should I contact Mrs. Sterling or try to obtain the details of her tour?
01:03:26No.
01:03:26She was right to leave.
01:03:29Court the crime, testify, donate blood, leave.
01:03:32Every step was calculated.
01:03:34Clean.
01:03:35She thinks even hating me is a waste.
01:03:41It was her.
01:03:43David, the person who gave me blood had to be her.
01:03:47The blood bank record is anonymous.
01:03:49We cannot confirm.
01:03:50I can feel it.
01:03:51My body knows her blood.
01:03:54No one but Chloe.
01:03:57Call her manager's number.
01:03:58Now.
01:03:59The doctor said you need complete rest and must avoid emotional stress.
01:04:03Call.
01:04:05Brody Cook speaking.
01:04:07Who is this?
01:04:07Mr. Cook, hello.
01:04:08This is David, Mr. Sterling's assistant.
01:04:10Mr. Sterling would like to speak with Mrs. Sterling.
01:04:12Ms. Claire Moreo is in intensive tour rehearsal in Zurich.
01:04:14Her schedule is full.
01:04:15She is not accepting any non-performance related call.
01:04:17Tell her it is me.
01:04:19Tell her I know it was her.
01:04:21That bag of blood.
01:04:22I know she gave it.
01:04:23If it is not business, do not disturb her.
01:04:25She has cut off even the chance for me to say thank you.
01:04:29I'm sorry.
01:04:30You think even hating me is a waste, do you?
01:04:32Even letting me confirm this debt feels like another form of harassment.
01:04:47Do not go.
01:04:49Move.
01:04:51Mr. Sterling, you need to be back at the hospital.
01:04:53I have heard enough from doctors.
01:04:55I'm not going anywhere.
01:04:57Brody, go confirm boarding.
01:04:59Chloe.
01:04:59Go.
01:05:02Let me stay by your side.
01:05:05Just this once.
01:05:07On what grounds?
01:05:08I...
01:05:10I paid back your blood.
01:05:12I saved your life.
01:05:14We are even.
01:05:15We are not.
01:05:16We never will be.
01:05:17Let go.
01:05:18I checked the flights.
01:05:19I know your next stop is Paris.
01:05:21Let me go with you.
01:05:22I will watch from far away.
01:05:23I swear I will not bother you.
01:05:24Alistair, listen carefully.
01:05:26You keep saying you want to protect me.
01:05:28But when my manuscript was destroyed, what did you do?
01:05:30When my baby was gone, what did you do?
01:05:33And now you want to stay by my side?
01:05:35Too late.
01:05:37Way too late.
01:05:40Do not follow me again.
01:05:41I want none of your guilt, none of your repentance.
01:05:44Then what do you want?
01:05:45Tell me!
01:05:48I will give you everything.
01:05:50The company, the shares, all of it.
01:05:54Chloe!
01:05:57I want you to disappear forever.
01:06:01Do not go.
01:06:03Please.
01:06:04Give me one chance, even if it is only to watch you from a distance.
01:06:09A chance.
01:06:10Three years ago when I was bleeding, who gave me a chance?
01:06:13When I miscarried it, lying in that hospital bed, listening to lawyers read charges for crimes
01:06:18I jetted, I never committed.
01:06:21Who gave me a chance?
01:06:22I know I was wrong.
01:06:23I will spend the rest of my life.
01:06:25I do not want the rest of your life, Alistair.
01:06:28I just want my peace.
01:06:29Chloe!
01:06:30What about our child?
01:06:32Can that be settled too?
01:06:33He never belonged to us.
01:06:35He belonged only to the me who lost him before he ever got to see the sun.
01:06:48Chloe!
01:06:49Sir, are you alright?
01:06:51Let me take you to...
01:06:53No, no, no, Chloe.
01:07:04Sir, you are awake.
01:07:07You have been unconscious for five days.
01:07:09The doctor said your last unauthorized discharge seriously worsened the wound.
01:07:14You cannot keep doing this.
01:07:16You must rest.
01:07:18Where is Chloe now?
01:07:19Mrs. Sterling's tour team returns to the council.
01:07:22Vienna, Vienna this afternoon.
01:07:24Sir!
01:07:24Get the car.
01:07:26Now.
01:07:27Put your body...
01:07:27I said, now.
01:07:29Now.
01:07:33Chloe!
01:07:34Why?
01:07:35Sir, the backstage is not open to the public.
01:07:37Please wait for me for a moment.
01:07:42I have been looking for you.
01:07:44I was wrong.
01:07:46I will spend everything to atone.
01:07:47Your everything burned to ash three years ago.
01:07:50Everything I have now I earn myself, including my peace.
01:07:54So he can give you peace?
01:07:56Mrs. Sterling needs to prepare for her performance.
01:07:58Please leave.
01:07:59You let him touch your score.
01:08:02You let him stand beside you.
01:08:03Then what am I?
01:08:11The blood?
01:08:12Chloe.
01:08:14Wait.
01:08:15The blood that saved my life?
01:08:17Was it yours?
01:08:20Yes.
01:08:21Why?
01:08:22You hate me.
01:08:23To repay a debt.
01:08:25What?
01:08:25Three years ago, you signed a paper and traded my life for hers.
01:08:29Now I repay you once.
01:08:31Blood for blood.
01:08:32Nothing owed.
01:08:33No.
01:08:34It is not a debt.
01:08:35I owe you and I can never repay it.
01:08:37It is a debt.
01:08:38It is paid.
01:08:39From now on, your blood, your wounds, whether you live or die, none of it has anything to
01:08:44do with me.
01:08:46I'm not going to let you do this.
01:08:48Get the hell away from me.
01:08:49Let us go in.
01:09:09Oh, no.
01:09:10Oh, no.
01:09:10What is it?
01:09:12God, no.
01:09:14That is impossible.
01:09:16This...
01:09:16This...
01:09:17How could this string...
01:09:18I checked it yesterday.
01:09:19It was fine.
01:09:20And Chloe are always so careful.
01:09:23Accidents happen.
01:09:24It is not a big deal.
01:09:25Where are the spare strings?
01:09:26Did you bring an extra string?
01:09:56Here, here.
01:09:58Rehearsal is in two hours, and the concert is tonight.
01:10:01Why now?
01:10:02Damn it.
01:10:12Claire's string snapped.
01:10:14The spare is oxidized, too.
01:10:16The new cello is still on the road, and they cannot reach the maker.
01:10:19Wait.
01:10:19Whose string broke?
01:10:20Claire's?
01:10:21Sir.
01:10:22Backstage matters are not disclosed to unrelated people.
01:10:27Now tell me exactly what happened.
01:10:29It is Mrs. Claire, the principal cellist.
01:10:31Her main strings slapped during pre-show check.
01:10:34The spare is oxidized and unusable, and the emergency replacement cello is delayed.
01:10:39It is bad.
01:10:41It is Chloe.
01:10:42Of course.
01:10:43She is still the little girl who needs my shelter.
01:10:46Only under my wing can she play safely.
01:10:48It is me.
01:10:49Use every resource.
01:10:51Find top-tier gut cello strings that can reach the Vienna Musikheims within two hours.
01:10:55Send a private jet to Berlin, then transfer by helicopter directly to the Musikheim Plaza.
01:10:59I want those strings in her hands before the concert starts.
01:11:07Chloe, do not panic.
01:11:08I already got the strings.
01:11:16The string, did it not snap?
01:11:18It did.
01:11:19I sent a plane.
01:11:20The string should be here.
01:11:21No need.
01:11:21I contacted the Luthori's workshop.
01:11:23They sent top strings by special car and brought an extra cello for trial use.
01:11:26When did you contact them?
01:11:28When I found the broken string.
01:11:29Brody made a few calls.
01:11:31Julian confirmed the workshop inventory.
01:11:32The car arrived 40 minutes ago.
01:11:34Good.
01:11:34As long as it is solved.
01:11:35Alistair.
01:11:36Three years ago, I lay in the hospital waiting for a consent call with your signature.
01:11:39Your signing was risky, and you had to wait for the lawyers.
01:11:41Now one cello string breaks, and you can immediately mobilize planes, clear logistics, and make an entire system move for
01:11:47you.
01:11:47Your help only appears when you think it is safe and convenient.
01:11:50My life and death, my career, had to run on your schedule.
01:11:52This time is different.
01:11:54It is the same.
01:11:54You always want to solve my problems your way, then you tell me how much you sacrifice.
01:11:57But I do not need it anymore.
01:11:59My problems are mine to solve.
01:12:01My way, on my time.
01:12:07These headlines, they will ruin her performance.
01:12:10What will she think of me?
01:12:11Sir, Mr. Brody Cooks just notified the press.
01:12:13Ms. Chloe is holding a press conference right up ahead.
01:12:16Ms. Chloe and Mr. Alistair Stellar ended their marriage three years ago.
01:12:20Now and in the future, there is no legal connection between them, nor any private relationship.
01:12:27Mr. Brody, I photographed Mr. Sterling here two mornings ago in Wandering, and he had contact with Ms. Chloe.
01:12:31Does this mean Mr. Sterling's trying to win her back?
01:12:32Mr. Sterling's actions are his personal choice.
01:12:35Ms. Chloe's position has been made clear in the statement.
01:12:37Her life and career are centered on music.
01:12:40My team is fully capable of handling every performance matter.
01:12:43Any outside uninvited involvement is unnecessary and unwelcome.
01:12:46As for the rest, private grievances are not worth public resources.
01:12:49My music will speak for itself.
01:12:51That is the end of the statement.
01:12:53Please focus on tonight's performance.
01:13:10Chloe, I know you can hear me!
01:13:15I saw the press conference.
01:13:18You said we were even.
01:13:19But how can I be even?
01:13:21The baby is gone because I signed.
01:13:23You almost died on that operating table because I stopped the doctors.
01:13:26I cannot repay those debts.
01:13:29You, you will not even give me your hate anymore.
01:13:33You treat me like some irrelevant stranger.
01:13:42Then tell me!
01:13:43How do I pay it back?
01:13:45Do you want this life?
01:13:49No.
01:13:52Just like this glass of water.
01:13:56Once it is poured out, I will not pick it back up.
01:14:01You could kneel until you die, and it will not bring that child back.
01:14:04It will not bring back the me who trusted you three years ago.
01:14:25You should be gone now.
01:14:47You should go to the hospital.
01:14:50I just do not want tomorrow's headline to say
01:14:53former Wall Street Kaidan bleeds to death outside ex-wife's apartment.
01:14:57So to you, I am just a nuisance?
01:15:00Noise.
01:15:01I hate unnecessary noise.
01:15:03I checked the medical records from back then.
01:15:05Every minute, I remember.
01:15:06When the doctor recommended surgery, I checked my watch three times.
01:15:08I was calculating risk, time, and legal consequences.
01:15:11I know.
01:15:11I know exactly how long you calculated.
01:15:13You do not know why I...
01:15:14Long enough for me to lose half my blood,
01:15:15and long enough for an eight-week Ambrose heartbeat to stop forever.
01:15:17Those fragments from back then,
01:15:19you play in my head every day.
01:15:21Then let them keep playing.
01:15:23That is your business.
01:15:23But do not die, dear.
01:15:25Get up.
01:15:25I will call a car to take you to the hospital.
01:15:28I am not going.
01:15:29Shoot yourself.
01:15:30Wait!
01:15:39My sins can only be washed clean with blood.
01:15:43Is this enough?
01:15:46Put the knife down.
01:15:51Tell me, how much blood is enough?
01:15:56Is this life enough to pay?
01:15:59Your life has no value to me now.
01:16:02Then what has value?
01:16:04Tell me, what can I still give?
01:16:06I want nothing.
01:16:08Especially nothing from you.
01:16:10Then watch me die.
01:16:12You are forcing me again.
01:16:14No.
01:16:15This time I choose it myself.
01:16:17You just watch.
01:16:19Take it as a late offering.
01:16:22Let go.
01:16:24Let me.
01:16:25I said let go!
01:16:34Your blood cannot wash anything clean.
01:16:36It will only stay in this street.
01:16:37Then what?
01:16:39What the hell am I supposed to do?
01:16:44At the very least,
01:16:46you should not be kneeling here trying to die.
01:17:08I said put the knife down!
01:17:12I said put the knife down!
01:17:15The baby is not coming back.
01:17:18You could bleed yourself dry,
01:17:19and he still would not come back.
01:17:21When I was lying on the operating table waiting for your signature,
01:17:25he was already gone.
01:17:27What you are doing now has no meaning.
01:17:30None of it has any meaning anymore.
01:17:34We are even.
01:17:36I forgive you.
01:17:40I forgive you.
01:17:40What did you say?
01:17:45I forgive you.
01:17:47No.
01:17:48Chloe, do not.
01:17:49Do not forgive me.
01:17:51I do not deserve it.
01:17:52It is not for you.
01:17:53It is for me.
01:17:55I have to move forward.
01:17:57Move forward.
01:17:58Good.
01:17:59You go.
01:18:00Do not look back.
01:18:02But do not forgive me.
01:18:03Please.
01:18:04The baby will not come back.
01:18:06The blood I lost cannot be returned.
01:18:09None of this helps.
01:18:10I know.
01:18:11I know it does not help.
01:18:13But I do not hate you anymore.
01:18:15Hate is exhausting.
01:18:16From now on, we are even.
01:18:19Even.
01:18:20Okay.
01:18:21Even.
01:18:22Never see me again.
01:18:24Chloe, live well.
01:18:33Mr. Sterling!
01:18:36Mr. Sterling!
01:18:38Hold on.
01:18:39I am calling an ambulance right now.
01:18:41Chloe.
01:18:42What?
01:18:44Chloe.
01:18:54Sir, you are awake.
01:18:56The doctor said you lost too much blood, but thank God.
01:18:59You have been unconscious for two days.
01:19:01Miss Chloe, she...
01:19:02David.
01:19:02Yes, sir.
01:19:03I will not go looking for her again.
01:19:06She said we are even.
01:19:08I should...
01:19:09let go.
01:19:24Ashes should look like ashes.
01:19:30They adjusted the sound post overnight.
01:19:32Want to try it?
01:19:37It is quiet.
01:19:39More reliable than people.
01:19:46Time to go stage.
01:19:49Time to go stage.
01:20:10The strings will never tremble for my life.
01:20:13This first note is both a funeral and a rebirth.
01:20:15Every accident is the echo of a golden cage shadowing.
01:20:19What he destroyed was never just a child.
01:20:21My blood, everything I lost.
01:20:24It all burns inside the smile.
01:20:27There is no place to breathe in the ashes.
01:20:34There is no going back.
01:20:38Look, Alistair.
01:20:40Without you, I still stand in the light.
01:20:42And this light will never shine for me.
01:20:46Can I imagine?
01:20:49I think I saw Alistair.
01:21:04Claire, these flowers are for you.
01:21:07Who asked you to bring them?
01:21:08I...
01:21:09I brought them myself.
01:21:11White lilies of the valley.
01:21:12Finally, we had a pot on the balcony of the New York apartment.
01:21:16It died.
01:21:18They are beautiful.
01:21:19I will keep them.
01:21:21From a fan?
01:21:22Let me check them.
01:21:23No need.
01:21:25You know who sent them.
01:21:26I do.
01:21:27Then why accept them?
01:21:28The flowers are innocent.
01:21:31The person who sent them has nothing to do with me.
01:21:35Sir, she accepted them.
01:21:37She said they were beautiful.
01:21:39Thank you, little angel.
01:21:42This is your reward.
01:21:44Go buy yourself some candy.
01:21:46Thank you, sir.
01:21:56Mr. Sterling, at the current rate of progression,
01:21:59a conservative estimate gives you about three months.
01:22:02Understood.
01:22:06Mr. Sterling, the will you requested has been drafted according to your final wishes.
01:22:10Under the terms, all assets under your name,
01:22:12after taxes and fees, will be transferred to the anonymous donor X account
01:22:14and ultimately donated to the Global Fund for Women Artists.
01:22:17No individual beneficiary is named.
01:22:22The process is complete.
01:22:24I will hold the original.
01:22:26Mr. Sterling, please take care.
01:22:59Excuse me, sir.
01:23:01Could you tell me, is this the right direction to the Julie Hart School?
01:23:06Wrong side, across the platform
01:23:08Thank you, I just got to New York
01:23:11Your cufflinks, they are beautiful
01:23:28It's the wrong way
01:23:30We both went the wrong way
01:23:32All right
01:23:39All right
01:23:40Allś
01:23:41You
