Short filmTranscript
00:00:03When I was 18, I signed a pre-nupical agreement and married Alistair, a man 15 years my senior.
00:00:14Everyone says I'm just a canary he keeps in a penthouse, but only I know how much he has favored
00:00:19me.
00:00:21This ring, which he designed himself, is the proof.
00:00:25And now, we finally have a little angel of our own.
00:00:29I have to tell Alistair the good news. I wonder how happy he'll be.
00:00:33Alistair, are you free right now? There's something I want you to be the first to know.
00:00:37Something's come up on my end.
00:00:39What's so urgent?
00:00:40Victoria's back. She's not doing well, so I need to take care of her first. I'll find you later. Be
00:00:45a good girl.
00:00:46Victoria. The one name he never allowed anyone to mention.
00:01:10You said you were busy today.
00:01:12So this is what you're busy with? Spending time with her?
00:01:16Am I interrupting something?
00:01:18She just got back and isn't doing well. Don't overthink it.
00:01:21Not doing well? Is that an excuse to be intimate with my husband in here?
00:01:26Alistair, you promised me you'd forget her.
00:01:28Chloe. Watch your attitude.
00:01:32I'm your wife. I don't even have the right to ask a question.
00:01:35It's precisely because you are my wife that you should know your place.
00:01:41My place? What about you?
00:01:43Bringing another woman into your office? Is that your idea of knowing your place?
00:01:47Article 32 of the Pre-Hopful Agreement.
00:01:49You are not to interfere with my social life, schedule, or business arrangements.
00:01:53You signed it. Now follow the rules.
00:01:54Alistair, she's young. It's only natural she's being mature.
00:01:58Don't be too hard on her.
00:01:59Not even a single word of explanation?
00:02:01It's not necessary. I gave you a title and a life of dignity,
00:02:04not a license to come here and make a steam.
00:02:06Grow up, little girl. Don't make this any more embarrassing than it already is.
00:02:09Get out.
00:02:17Why the rush?
00:02:18Even a contract wife can feel embarrassed?
00:02:24Get out of my way.
00:02:26Does this look familiar?
00:02:27Alistair designed it himself.
00:02:29The size, the cut, even the curve of the setting.
00:02:32It's identical.
00:02:33The one on your finger is just a fake you bought later to replace it.
00:02:37What exactly are you trying to say?
00:02:38I'm saying you should know your place.
00:02:40So what if you're his wife?
00:02:41You live in his house, spend his money, and trade a contract for a last name.
00:02:45But I'm different.
00:02:46I don't need an appointment to enter his office.
00:02:49I sit on his sofa, and he pours my drinks himself.
00:02:53Alistair, I only have one question.
00:02:55Why is her ring the same as mine?
00:02:57It's just a ring.
00:03:00I designed this ring specifically for you.
00:03:03It's the only one of its kind in the world.
00:03:06After all, you are my one and only.
00:03:10Fine.
00:03:11I understand.
00:03:16What is this?
00:03:23It's just a manuscript for the competition.
00:03:25Don't bother yourself with it.
00:03:27I'll have the driver take you back.
00:03:29No need.
00:03:30I can get back on my own.
00:03:31I haven't had a chance to see her music room yet.
00:03:34See it if you want.
00:03:35You don't have to ask me twice about anything in this house.
00:03:38No problem.
00:03:39I'll send the manuscript over right now.
00:03:45My manuscript!
00:03:51This is my only original copy.
00:03:53I'm so sorry, Chloe.
00:03:55Who knew your music room would be such a mess?
00:03:57My hand slipped, and I spilled it.
00:03:59You won't blame me, will you?
00:04:00What a shame.
00:04:01I heard you were in a rush to submit this.
00:04:05What are you going to do now?
00:04:08Get your foot off it!
00:04:10It's just a pile of paper.
00:04:12Is all this really necessary?
00:04:17Alistair!
00:04:20Alistair, I really didn't mean it.
00:04:21I just wanted to see where she usually practices,
00:04:23but she started snapping at me the moment she got back.
00:04:25I'm a little scared.
00:04:26Victoria, you...
00:04:27Chloe, enough.
00:04:28What did you say?
00:04:29Victoria already said she didn't mean it.
00:04:31Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
00:04:32I wrote every single note of this myself.
00:04:35This is two years of my hard work.
00:04:36Alistair, you know that better than anyone!
00:04:38Hard work?
00:04:39Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:04:41This score?
00:04:42Or the status you've built using it as a prop?
00:04:44A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate?
00:04:49Who are you trying to impress with this wronged woman act?
00:04:52Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the
00:04:57top?
00:04:57I didn't...
00:04:58Am I wrong?
00:04:59Now that Victoria is back, you know your position is shaky,
00:05:02so you're using these tears and your so-called hard work as leverage.
00:05:05At the end of the ale, isn't this whole tantrum just a way to get my attention,
00:05:08to get more money, and to squeeze more out of me?
00:05:10No!
00:05:11You've forgotten!
00:05:11I never married you for your wealth, and I certainly wasn't plotting against the Sterling family!
00:05:16You were the one who begged me to marry you!
00:05:17I admit, I was blinded by you back then.
00:05:19If I could do it all over again, I would never marry a woman as calculating as you.
00:05:23We've been married for two years, and this is how lowly you think of me?
00:05:26What else would I think?
00:05:34Still throwing a tantrum over what happened today?
00:05:36Not throwing a tantrum, I 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.
00:05:43That year you were playing the cello in the snow,
00:05:45your hands were beet red from the cold, yet you refused to stop.
00:05:48I sat in the car watching you for half an hour,
00:05:50and when I got back, I drew this.
00:05:52You still remember?
00:05:53Of course.
00:05:54Chloe, I'm not blind to these things.
00:05:57Then why do you protect her over and over again?
00:05:59Victoria is too deeply tied to the family's projects.
00:06:02I took her side today, not because she's more important than Chloe,
00:06:05but because I had to keep the situation under control.
00:06:07Don't take those words to heart.
00:06:09Is that really all it is?
00:06:10You're too young.
00:06:11There 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.
00:06:21Please come quickly.
00:06:23Something came up at the office.
00:06:25I need to head out, but I'll be back soon.
00:06:27This late?
00:06:28Wait for me.
00:06:29Don't go anywhere.
00:06:33Little one, your father still cares for us.
00:06:35Just wait a little longer.
00:06:39Chloe, Victoria accidentally killed someone with her car.
00:06:42She can't be linked to this case, so you're going to take the fall for her.
00:06:52Chloe, don't be afraid.
00:06:53I'll handle everything.
00:06:54Just sign the papers, and I promise you'll be fine.
00:06:57You want me to take the fall for her killing someone?
00:06:59Alistair, you just said you would protect me.
00:07:01I am protecting you.
00:07:02The press is swarming outside, and the police are already watching us.
00:07:04We have to lock in the statement first so I can get you out of this mess.
00:07:07Don't be difficult.
00:07:08This is the fastest way.
00:07:08The lawyers will arrange your bail.
00:07:10All you have to do is give your thumbprint.
00:07:12So everything you said tonight was just a tactic to play me?
00:07:14The ring, the promises, what did any of it mean?
00:07:17It means you need to be smart right now.
00:07:19Article 33 of the prenuptal agreement.
00:07:21You are required to cooperate with family crisis management.
00:07:24Otherwise, you'll never be able to pay off the penalty in your lifetime.
00:07:27I'm not signing.
00:07:28Chloe, don't push me.
00:07:30Once you leave your print, this all ends tonight.
00:07:36Let go!
00:07:37You're hurting me!
00:07:41Chloe!
00:07:44Chloe, how-
00:07:46Why are you bleeding so much?
00:07:54Alistair, I'm pregnant.
00:07:56It's your baby.
00:07:58Please take me to the hospital.
00:08:00Now is not the time for this.
00:08:02I'm begging you!
00:08:04Please!
00:08:05Please!
00:08:06Sign this, and I'll arrange for the hospital immediately.
00:08:11You still want me to sign?
00:08:13The accident case is already open.
00:08:15Victoria cannot go to prison.
00:08:16Take the fall first, and I'll cover everything.
00:08:19The bail, the lawyers, the hospital.
00:08:21If you don't sign, no one is coming for you tonight.
00:08:24And the hospital won't prioritize you.
00:08:26That's a human life!
00:08:27Not one of your PR crisis!
00:08:29Do you think the feds will just take your word for it?
00:08:32If you confess, it'll only be a few years, and I can reduce your sentence.
00:08:36If you fight it, you won't even make it to bail.
00:08:40You're using the hospital to blackmail me?
00:08:42I'm giving you a way out.
00:08:43Chloe, be good.
00:08:44Just confess first.
00:08:45We'll talk about the baby later.
00:08:47Later?
00:08:48You don't even want him now.
00:08:49You said you'd never leave me alone.
00:08:52Sign it, now.
00:08:59Wait!
00:09:06Wait.
00:09:08Alistin, I knew you wouldn't...
00:09:09If you sign it like this, it looks too much like coercion.
00:09:12The police might not accept it.
00:09:16Press your thumbprint, then sign it again.
00:09:18You stopped me!
00:09:20Just for this!
00:09:21The confession must be flawless.
00:09:23Nothing can happen to Victoria.
00:09:25I'm bleeding.
00:09:26And you're worried about the paperwork looking pretty?
00:09:28I already have a car waiting downstairs.
00:09:30Once you sign, I'll take you to the hospital immediately.
00:09:33And if I don't sign it?
00:09:34Then you can keep wasting time here tonight.
00:09:37Wait for the feds to arrive, or wait for the baby to mice break on its own.
00:09:40Your choice.
00:09:43That's your child, too.
00:09:45Sign the papers first.
00:09:52Alistair.
00:09:53You'll pay for this.
00:09:54Sign it.
00:10:03Don't be afraid.
00:10:05I'm calling an ambulance for you right now.
00:10:11Alistair.
00:10:12Save the baby first, I beg you.
00:10:14Save the baby.
00:10:17As long as the baby is safe, anything else, I'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!
00:10:27Come on.
00:10:29Come on.
00:10:31The patient is facing a severe threat and miscarriage with significant uterine bleeding.
00:10:34We must operate immediately to stop the hemorrhage.
00:10:35She's in critical condition.
00:10:36Any further delay, and we won't be able to save either the mother or the child.
00:10:39These are the prenatal records of the bleeding logs.
00:10:40Sign us now to authorize a combined procedure for surgery and fetal preservation.
00:10:43Mr. Sterling, there is no time.
00:10:44She's losing blood rapidly.
00:10:45She needs to be in the OR right now.
00:10:46Every minute counts.
00:10:47If we wait any longer, the baby is gone, and the mother's life will be at risk too.
00:10:53Mr. Sterling, Victoria at DUI.
00:10:55If you want your wife to take the fall, it's best she has no recent record of pregnancy.
00:10:59Otherwise...
00:11:00Understood.
00:11:01Hold off on the filing.
00:11:03Suspend the surgery.
00:11:04Just stop the bleeding for now.
00:11:05What did you say?
00:11:08For her sake, you're even...
00:11:11abandoning our child?
00:11:18Cancel the surgery?
00:11:19You're going to kill our own flesh and blood just for Victoria?
00:11:22As long as you take the fall for the accident, we can have other children later.
00:11:27But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.
00:11:30She cannot have a criminal record.
00:11:31Ma'am, please calm down.
00:11:33She's eight weeks pregnant and hemorrhaging.
00:11:36And you want her to confess to a crime?
00:11:39Save your misplaced sense of justice and do as I say,
00:11:42or you'll be kicked out of the medical profession for good by tomorrow.
00:11:51You didn't come here to save me at all.
00:11:53You said only today that protect me.
00:11:55Is this what you call protection?
00:11:58Be a good girl and confess.
00:12:00You'll still be my most cherished wife.
00:12:03No.
00:12:04Alistair, I'm begging you.
00:12:08I'm begging you.
00:12:22Alistair, where is my baby?
00:12:32The baby wasn't meant to be with us.
00:12:34Don't play games with me.
00:12:36Was it an accident or did you order the doctor to do it?
00:12:41You're still young.
00:12:43Once you've recovered, we'll have other children.
00:12:47Answer me!
00:12:49Victoria's legal team has been working through the night.
00:12:51I've used the Sterling Family Trust to post your $50 million bail.
00:12:59Alistair, even your way of killing is so refined.
00:13:02I have no patience for your tantrums.
00:13:05Behave yourself.
00:13:06Focus on your recovery.
00:13:07I'm busy lately.
00:13:08Once you're better, head back on your own.
00:13:10No need to let me know.
00:13:12Behave yourself.
00:13:26Oh, you're back.
00:13:27The fabric of this at four is really nice, though the waist is a bit tight.
00:13:35Who gave you permission to wear my clothes?
00:13:37Is there anything in this apartment that actually belongs to you, even that your engagement ring you're wearing?
00:13:42Didn't pay for it with his card?
00:13:46Chloe, the doctor said you shouldn't get worked up.
00:13:48Sit down first.
00:13:50Tell to take it off.
00:13:53Alistair, I'm just borrowing it.
00:13:55Does she really have to be so mean?
00:13:58It's just a pajama.
00:14:00Do you have to start a scene the second you get home?
00:14:07Chloe, have you had enough?
00:14:08You've been acting like a total lunaturk lately.
00:14:10Can't you be more sensible?
00:14:11Alistair?
00:14:15He said you looked pathetic last night.
00:14:17Did you know?
00:14:17He complained that your crying was too loud, so he held me in his arms all night.
00:14:20He also said he never forgot about me.
00:14:23You were out of the game from the very beginning.
00:14:26Well, that's very Christian of you.
00:14:30Alistair!
00:14:31Help me!
00:14:32Calm down.
00:14:33Put the knife down first.
00:14:34Choose.
00:14:35Choose between us right now!
00:14:37Chloe, what the hell is wrong with you lately?
00:14:39Be reasonable.
00:14:40I can't be reasonable.
00:14:42Everything changed the moment she came back.
00:14:44Have you forgotten how we lost our baby?
00:14:46Have you forgotten what you promised me?
00:14:47You said you would protect me, but who are you protecting now?
00:14:50Look at me, Alistair!
00:14:51Look at me!
00:14:51Fine, I choose you.
00:14:53Chloe, I choose you.
00:14:55Now let her go and come here.
00:15:05Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:08This is your last warning.
00:15:11This is your last warning.
00:15:37Don't worry. It's just a formality our backgrounds are so different without this my family might not accept you
00:15:42Listen this agreement is only to appease the family. My promise to you is right here
00:15:46I added a handwritten clause if I ever betray you or if you feel any unhappiness in this marriage
00:15:50You can burn it at any time no lawyers needed no need to notify the moment you burn this agreement.
00:15:54You are free
00:15:54This is my only true guarantee
00:16:05You promised it's over
00:16:11Brody, it's me get me a ticket to Europe for tonight. Sterling. I burned the agreement understood two hours the
00:16:17usual spot. Okay
00:16:26Goodbye, Alistair
00:16:33It is late
00:16:34Where do you think you are going? That's none of your business none of my business
00:16:39Did you forget the agreement wherever you go? You report to me first the agreement? I burned it just now
00:16:45Alistair you dare to burn it
00:16:46That contract is legally binding chloe
00:16:48It is not some toy you can toss into the fire whenever you feel like it
00:16:50I have put up with enough from you lately. Do not push me
00:16:53Do you have any idea that agreement is what keeps you mrs?
00:16:55Sterling how the hell am I supposed to protect you when you act like this?
00:16:57I know but I cannot afford your kind of protection
00:16:59Did you forget the clause you wrote yourself you promised that if I was unhappy I could burn it anytime
00:17:03the second it burned
00:17:04I was free that was something I said to make you happy you think a court will honor that
00:17:10I promise once you burn it you are free. I will not stop you
00:17:16Chloe
00:17:21Alistair
00:17:26Alistair what happened out here? I thought I heard shouting was it chloe? Is she throwing another tantrum?
00:17:30She ran at that ridiculous recording
00:17:32A recording? Honey, you cannot seriously be worried
00:17:35A pre-nap does not vanish because some 20 year old girl throws it into a fireplace. She knows nothing
00:17:39about the law
00:17:41She is just shaken from the miscarriage and the bail pressure is getting to her
00:17:45She is trying to scare you the harder you chase the more power she thinks she has
00:17:49Let her cool off when the money guns out and she has nowhere to go. She will come crawling back
00:17:54You really think so? Of course it is just a little girl acting out for attention
00:17:58We both know it besides every account in her name is tied to your family trust
00:18:01Without this place. She cannot even afford a hotel room. What matters now is keeping the situation stable
00:18:05We cannot let the FBI case get complicated because of her emotions
00:18:09You are right. I am always on your side. Get some rest. You have the legal team tomorrow
00:18:17Chloe I will wait for you to come back to me
00:18:23Your passport and ticket are in the inner pocket
00:18:27He will not find you the accounts are wiped the cameras are covered you are a ghost now. I handled
00:18:33the airport
00:18:37We are here cargo gate c7 someone will meet you direct flight to paris
00:18:43There is some cash inside when you land call this number. Thank you
00:18:50Chloe forgive me for being reckless, but I cannot fight this anymore. Will you marry me?
00:18:55Will you be my wife?
00:18:56I am just an ordinary girl. How could I ever be worthy of-
00:18:59Do not ever say that about yourself. To me, you are the most beautiful purest woman in the world
00:19:03You deserve everything. It is just a nightgown
00:19:06Did you really have to come home and turn the whole place into a war zone?
00:19:11Chloe are you done?
00:19:14Lately you have been acting like a complete lunatic. Can you please grow up?
00:19:19It is over
00:19:26Stop thinking about it, Alistair
00:19:27Chloe needs time
00:19:29To calm down
00:19:32Get out
00:19:32What?
00:19:34I said get out
00:19:35Take off Chloe's nightgown
00:19:37Do not touch Chloe's things again
00:19:39It is just a nightgown
00:19:41Why are you treating Victoria like this because of Chloe?
00:19:44We are the ones who-
00:19:45We are nothing. The woman Alistair loves is Chloe
00:19:47It was always Chloe. It still is
00:19:49But Chloe left. Chloe does not give a damn about Alistair
00:19:54I do
00:19:54Listen carefully, Victoria
00:19:56I helped you because of your father, because of those damn business ties
00:19:59But you have always known where my heart is
00:20:01Stop doing this
00:20:03I have done so much for you
00:20:05Enough!
00:20:06You are tired. Go rest
00:20:12Three days
00:20:14Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service
00:20:23Where the hell did you go?
00:20:25Where the hell did you go?
00:20:26What is that?
00:20:30She actually burned it
00:20:33It is just a piece of paper
00:20:34Burning it proves she cares
00:20:36Cares about what?
00:20:37You
00:20:38It is a little girl's stunt
00:20:39The most dramatic way she could think of to get your attention
00:20:41She thought if she burned the agreement you would chase after her and prove you cannot live without her
00:20:45She used a fake ID
00:20:48Emptied the accounts
00:20:49So what?
00:20:49Every dime she has eventually leads back to the Sterling family trust
00:20:52Where can she go without you? Sleep on the street?
00:20:54What is she right now?
00:20:55A suspect out on bail?
00:20:57The FBI case is still hanging over her
00:20:58Besides you, who would dare take her in?
00:21:01The outside world is a hundred times scarier for her than this apartment
00:21:03Give her time to act out
00:21:05Once she has suffered enough, she will remember where she belongs
00:21:09Then she will come back on her own, sweeter than ever
00:21:12What if she does not come back?
00:21:14Then she never deserved to be Mrs. Sterling
00:21:15A doll too stupid to understand her own position is not worth keeping, is she?
00:21:20Clean this up
00:21:21Of course
00:21:21Fly away little bird, let us see how long you last
00:21:29Were the new spring pieces sent to the wardrobe?
00:21:32Yes sir, everything was delivered to the estate yesterday afternoon
00:21:35As instructed, the sizes and styles followed the previous records exactly
00:21:40Some of the brands Chloe liked changed creative directors this season
00:21:43I reviewed the new collections, there are a few dresses Chloe would like
00:21:46Yes sir, every year you personally review the seasonal catalogs and reserve pieces for Mrs. Sterling
00:21:50For Mrs. Chloe, you have done that for three years
00:21:53Chloe did not take a single thing when Chloe left
00:21:57Perhaps Mrs. Chloe knows you have been waiting for Chloe to come back
00:22:00Waiting for Chloe to come back? No
00:22:03I am just confirming whether Chloe really has the nerve to stay gone forever
00:22:08Sir, the emergency meeting is in two hours, they insist you attend, it is about the Asia market acquisition
00:22:14Tell them I
00:22:15That silhouette looks so familiar
00:22:21Is that you Chloe?
00:22:28Find out
00:22:30Now
00:22:30Sir, confirmed, it is Miss Chloe Sterling
00:22:34She is performing under the stage name Claire Moray now
00:22:36She is the orchestra's newly signed principal cellist
00:22:38Her debut is next Friday at the Music Vi-
00:22:41Three years
00:22:42I had her wardrobe at the estate refreshed every season
00:22:45Those dresses, she never touched a single one
00:22:48Yes sir
00:22:49You have been waiting for her to come back
00:22:51Claire Moray
00:22:53You hid well
00:22:57Cancel the board meeting
00:22:59Or let them talk to an empty chair
00:23:01Right now contact the airport
00:23:03I want the next direct flight to Vienna
00:23:05But sir, the board
00:23:08Do it
00:23:25Sir, rehearsal is closed, no outsiders
00:23:32Move, I am here for Chloe Stingling
00:23:35There is no Chloe Stingling here
00:23:37The woman on Taze is Claire Moray
00:23:39Guest cello soloist for the
00:23:43Festival
00:23:54She never smiled like that
00:24:02See that?
00:24:03She is doing well now
00:24:05She does not need anyone disturbing her
00:24:07Especially you
00:24:09Who the hell are you?
00:24:10Her manager
00:24:10And her friend
00:24:11Leave before rehearsal ends or I call security
00:24:31Chloe
00:24:34We need to talk
00:24:35Now
00:24:36Sorry, give me one minute to deal with old business
00:24:41Have you been with him this whole three years?
00:24:43What does that have to do with you, Mr. Sterling?
00:24:47Listen to me
00:24:47Back then
00:24:48I do not want to hear it
00:24:50I swear
00:24:51I did not know it would
00:24:52If I had known you were pregnant
00:24:53I never would have
00:24:54You knew
00:24:55And you still chose what mattered more to you
00:24:57Your empire
00:24:57Your Victoria
00:24:58Now that the show is over
00:25:00Leave
00:25:01Sir
00:25:01Claire needs to continue rehearse
00:25:03Your disruption is not welcome here
00:25:06She will not even bother to hate me
00:25:25She will not even bother to hate me
00:25:26Tonight's piece is called Ashes
00:25:32Chloria already said she didn't mean it
00:25:33Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
00:25:35I wrote every single note of this myself
00:25:37This is two years of my hard work
00:25:39Allison, you know that better than anyone
00:25:41Hard work?
00:25:44Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:25:46This score
00:25:46Or the status you've built using it as a prop?
00:25:49This is the piece she wrote back then
00:26:08I need to speak with you
00:26:11Chloe
00:26:11I thought you'd never ask
00:26:13That last bar was brilliant
00:26:15Only because your theme gave me something to work
00:26:1730% of sterling group equity
00:26:19Transferred to you unconditionally
00:26:20Sign it and it is yours
00:26:2230%
00:26:23That is astronomical
00:26:24Mr. Sterling is generous
00:26:26The dividends alone must be tens of millions
00:26:28Music
00:26:29To rebirth
00:26:35See that?
00:26:36He just got shut down hard
00:26:3730% of sterling
00:26:38Too bad she does not give a damn
00:26:43You will not even look at it
00:26:51You do not have to accept it
00:26:53Just come home with me
00:26:55Let go
00:26:55I waited for you for three years
00:26:57Every single day I thought about you
00:26:59The confession, Victoria, everything
00:27:00I finally understand it all
00:27:02And?
00:27:03The baby
00:27:04Our baby
00:27:05I never even got the chance to make it right
00:27:07Alistair Sterling
00:27:08Is this your repentance act?
00:27:09Who is the audience?
00:27:11These guests or yourself?
00:27:12It is not an act
00:27:14I am begging you, Chloe
00:27:15Come home
00:27:15Everything I have is yours
00:27:17Sterling group, my life, take all of it
00:27:19Home?
00:27:20Did that place not become yours
00:27:21And Victoria's love nest a long time ago?
00:27:24Did she slept in the bed I slept in?
00:27:25Did you whisper the same sweet lies
00:27:27To her that you whispered to me?
00:27:29Never
00:27:30I never let her into the master bedroom
00:27:31If you think the place is dirty
00:27:33We can burn it down and rebuild it
00:27:36Rebuild what?
00:27:37Ashes are ashes
00:27:38Just like our rings in that agreement
00:27:40Burned
00:27:40Gone
00:27:41Never coming back
00:27:42Then what about me?
00:27:43These three years
00:27:44I have been walking around like a corpse
00:27:46What the hell am I supposed to do?
00:27:48You?
00:27:49Go back to Wall Street
00:27:50Hold your equity papers tight
00:27:52Take Victoria with you
00:27:53And grow old together
00:28:07Do not go
00:28:08Please
00:28:09Let go
00:28:10I was wrong
00:28:12Everything
00:28:12It started with Victoria's goddamn car accident
00:28:15And I was wrong from that moment
00:28:16I forged the confession
00:28:17And used the agreement to force you to sign
00:28:19Not because I believed that bullshit
00:28:22I did it because I was scared
00:28:23Scared of what?
00:28:25Scared you would see how rotten I was
00:28:26Scared you would realize I was framing my own wife
00:28:28To save another woman's freedom
00:28:30Scared you would look down on me
00:28:31Scared you would leave
00:28:32So I pushed you off the cliff first
00:28:34I thought that would bind you to me
00:28:36Guilt, the baby, the debt you owed me
00:28:37But I destroyed everything with my own hands
00:28:40The baby
00:28:41Our baby
00:28:43Are you done?
00:28:44We should go say goodbye to the conductor
00:28:57I am honored by your invitation
00:29:01Ms. Sterling, congratulations on the huge success of your European tour
00:29:04Many fans are curious
00:29:05How did you create a piece as moving as ashes?
00:29:08Thank you
00:29:09I think it came from the people who helped me
00:29:12And from things I had no choice but to survive
00:29:14What experiences?
00:29:16There was a time in my life when I was very closed off
00:29:20On paper I had a home
00:29:22In reality I was more like a carefully kept possession
00:29:25You mean your marriage?
00:29:28Yes, a marriage built on enormous equality and lies
00:29:32I was too young then
00:29:33Naive enough to believe talent and love could bridge anything
00:29:36Then I was betrayed and I lost my child
00:29:39That is heartbreaking
00:29:42I was lucky
00:29:44After I escaped I met people in Europe who truly respected art and human dignity
00:29:48They gave me shelter and a stage and allowed me to live purely for music
00:29:52So you see that unhappy marriage as the catalyst for your artistic transformation?
00:29:57It is part of my life that cannot be erased
00:29:59I do not thank that experience but I thank the woman who crawled out of the rubbles
00:30:03As for the other person in that marriage
00:30:10My past and that name with it is over
00:30:13Like a fire that burned itself out only ashes remain
00:30:16I will not and I do not want to have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again
00:30:21I will not and I do not want to have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again
00:30:32Promise me we will not be apart for a hundred years
00:30:35Not a hundred years
00:30:38Forever Chloe
00:30:40Not even the slightest connection
00:30:43Did we not promise each other we were supposed to be together forever
00:30:51Thank you for driving me home Julian and thank you for tonight's performance
00:30:55The honor was mine get some rest
00:30:58Move
00:30:59Chloe please just five minutes no one minute let me say one thing
00:31:04One moment
00:31:06I was wrong I know I was wrong I do not want anything anymore I will give you everything
00:31:11Please look at me just look at me
00:31:12Alistair
00:31:13You are blocking my way I said move
00:31:16What Chloe I
00:31:18I said move
00:31:30Brody cook we need to talk name your price
00:31:33Leave Chloe
00:31:35Whatever resources connections channels you have sterling group will double them
00:31:39Alliston sterling you still think money fixes everything
00:31:42She is not safe in her current situation with me she would have the best protection protection
00:31:48Was it not you who left her bleeding and cost her the baby three years ago?
00:31:52Then what does she need that Vanderbilt?
00:31:54What can you give her?
00:31:55Peace respect
00:31:56A place where she does not have to wonder if the man beside her will send her to prison
00:32:00Save it Mr. Staling
00:32:02Your price cannot buy my conscience and it sure as hell cannot buy back for three years
00:32:08He came to see me offered a blank check if I would leave you
00:32:11Oh
00:32:12I blocked every way he can contact me but you need to be careful
00:32:15I'm afraid his next move will be even more unhinged
00:32:17Three years ago
00:32:18He used the law as a chain our child as Albridge and my life to buy another woman's freedom
00:32:22What else can he possibly
00:32:23Your reputation your performance everything you have in Europe
00:32:26I have already lost the most precious thing I had there is nothing left that can scare me
00:32:38Happy anniversary my wife
00:32:47Claire
00:32:48You look pale
00:32:50I am fine I did not sleep well last night
00:32:52Do you need to postpone this afternoon's ensemble rehearsal?
00:32:55What date is it?
00:32:56October 19th
00:32:57Of course
00:32:59Five years ago today we were officially married
00:33:01Why would Alistair send me this now?
00:33:04What the hell is he trying to do?
00:33:06Julian if someone used a day you never wanted to remember to remind you how stupid you used to be
00:33:11What would you do?
00:33:12I would tell myself that day is dead
00:33:14Today is what survived
00:33:15He is such a fool
00:33:16He really thinks this random photo and blessing can patch over my scars
00:33:20You still care about him do you not?
00:33:26I just think he is stupid and I feel sorry for the person I used to be
00:33:31It is over now
00:33:32There is nothing to care about
00:33:37Oh my god those are blue phantom roses
00:33:40They must have been flown in
00:33:44The card is gorgeous
00:33:46My other half of my soul
00:33:47Who brought these in?
00:33:49Did I not say every gift goes through me first?
00:33:51The florist brought them straight to the backstage door
00:33:53They said they were specifically for Claire
00:34:00They are beautiful
00:34:01I bet they are even prettier in real life
00:34:03But I heard they are almost impossible to grow and they bloom for only a moment
00:34:06I guess they were never meant for me
00:34:07Nothing is impossible for the Sterlings
00:34:08Not if you want it
00:34:09Forget it
00:34:10Some things are just not meant to be like it
00:34:12Chloe!
00:34:13Chloe?
00:34:15Are you okay?
00:34:17Give it to me
00:34:18Leave the flowers
00:34:19Put them here
00:34:20They are pretty
00:34:33Chloe, are you sure you're okay?
00:34:35It's just a flower, Brody
00:34:36I'm fine
00:34:36Just drop it, will you?
00:34:40Chloe
00:34:41You are the other half of my soul
00:34:43The missing part of me
00:34:45Only you can make me whole
00:34:46In that moment
00:34:47I thought I had caught every star in the sky
00:34:50The other half of my soul
00:34:57Not 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
00:35:13Before he kissed me for the first time
00:35:15That is exactly what he said
00:35:17My other half of my soul
00:35:18I am getting you time off
00:35:20Go home and really
00:35:21No, I'm in fine
00:35:23You're sure?
00:35:23I am sure
00:35:24The harder he tries to nail me to the past
00:35:26The more I will make him see
00:35:27Those memories cannot hurt me anymore
00:35:29I will not drown in the past
00:35:30Never
00:35:34Miss Sterling, these are the records you requested
00:35:35How bad was she when she was brought in?
00:35:37All of them
00:35:38Extremely bad
00:35:39The patient was already showing
00:35:40Early signs of hemorrhagic shock
00:35:41We recommended immediate surgery
00:35:42It was the only way to try to save both mother and child
00:35:44Why did you not insist?
00:35:46You signed the form
00:35:47You said as long as she could talk in authority
00:35:49To overturn the family's explicit instructions
00:35:50If you had done the surgery with the baby
00:35:52There would at least have been a chance
00:35:53But after you refused
00:35:54That child could not be saved
00:35:55We later found the patient had already been delayed at home
00:35:57For at least more than 40 minutes before she arrived
00:36:00After arrival, waiting for your signature
00:36:01Cost the best intervention window
00:36:03Delayed how long?
00:36:05Nearly two hours
00:36:06The records show the hemorrhage became fully controllable after midnight
00:36:10We later assessed that if she had arrived half an hour later
00:36:12Or if the bleeding had been slightly worse
00:36:14We might not have saved the mother either
00:36:16I killed that child
00:36:17It was me
00:36:18It was me
00:36:19It was all me
00:36:21I killed Chloe's and my baby with my own hands
00:36:25All for Victoria
00:36:30At 10.17pm she started bleeding
00:36:33At 10.20 I took out the document
00:36:35I made her sign
00:36:36Her hands were shaking
00:36:37She could not write
00:36:39Blood soaked the paper
00:36:42At 10.50 she finished signing
00:36:44I called
00:36:45Then I waited
00:36:4747 minutes
00:36:48After I hung up
00:36:50I did not call again
00:36:56Alistair
00:36:57I'm pregnant
00:36:58It's your name
00:36:59Please take me to the hospital
00:37:01Now is not the time for this
00:37:03I'm begging you
00:37:06Please
00:37:08Sign this
00:37:09And I'll arrange for the hospital immediately
00:37:12You still want me to sign?
00:37:15The accident
00:37:15This is already over
00:37:16Victoria did not go to prison
00:37:18Take the fall first
00:37:19And I'll cover everything
00:37:20The bail, the lawyers, the hospital
00:37:22If you don't sign
00:37:24No one is coming for you tonight
00:37:25And the hospital won't prioritize you
00:37:28The doctor said surgery
00:37:29I said no
00:37:32Too risky
00:37:36Cancel the surgery?
00:37:38You're going to kill our own flesh and blood
00:37:39Just for Victoria?
00:37:41As long as you take the fall for the accident
00:37:43We can have other children live
00:37:46But Victoria's reputation is vital to her
00:37:48She cannot have a criminal record
00:37:52I chose it
00:37:53No ambulance
00:37:54No surgery
00:37:55She had to sign first
00:38:02Even the fall that sent her to the hospital
00:38:06That was because of me too
00:38:08Chloe, don't push me
00:38:09Once you leave your print
00:38:11This all ends tonight
00:38:16Let go
00:38:17No, you're hurting me
00:38:24Every step was 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
00:38:32Yes, it was her
00:38:34She drove a wedge between us
00:38:35She knelt in front of me
00:38:36Saying her career, her name, her future were over
00:38:38She cried that only Chloe could save her
00:38:40I'm saying you should know your place
00:38:41So what if you're his wife?
00:38:43You live in his house?
00:38:44Enter his office
00:38:45I sit on his sofa
00:38:47And he pours my drinks himself
00:38:51Exactly
00:38:52If it were not for Victoria
00:38:54Why would Chloe have been pushed that far?
00:38:55Why would I have forced Chloe?
00:38:57Why would I have lost our baby?
00:38:58That is right
00:38:59It was all because of her
00:39:00I need to find her
00:39:02Now
00:39:07Mr. Sterling was so easy to fool
00:39:09One perfectly staged elevator malfunction
00:39:12One perfectly timed twisted ankle
00:39:14And he believed I was his destined soulmate
00:39:16That old money type is arrogant and naive to the bone
00:39:19I played the independent self-made woman for him all these years for exactly this
00:39:23Sooner or later, every Sterling group asset will carry the Thorn name
00:39:27As for the baby, losing that common girl's child was good for me
00:39:31An heir with ordinary blood would only dilute the Sterling fortune
00:39:38Alistair?
00:39:39What are you doing here?
00:39:40You have been playing me this whole time
00:39:43No!
00:39:44I love you!
00:39:45Everything you did was for us
00:39:46That Chloe never deserved you
00:39:48She only dragged you
00:39:50You
00:39:51You built our beginning on lies
00:39:53You schemed to tear Chloe and me apart
00:39:56You
00:39:56You killed my child
00:39:58You drove her away
00:40:00This is all your fault
00:40:01There has to be a misunderstanding
00:40:03I can explain
00:40:04Save your explanation for the feds
00:40:07You are turning me over to the bureau?
00:40:19For three years
00:40:21You used my trust to move assets
00:40:24Forge documents
00:40:25And frame Chloe
00:40:28Any one of those could put you in federal prison for decades
00:40:33Alistair, what are you talking about?
00:40:38The bureau's preliminary evidence list
00:40:40Your lawyer will receive official notice tomorrow
00:40:43No!
00:40:44Alistair, you cannot do this to me
00:40:46I love you
00:40:47Everything I did was for you
00:40:49We can explain
00:40:50We can...
00:40:51Explain?
00:40:51To whom?
00:40:53To the child you helped kill?
00:40:55The baby
00:40:55The baby was an accident
00:40:58Chloe's body was weak
00:41:00An accident?
00:41:01That night
00:41:02You told me that once Chloe signed
00:41:04Everything would be fine
00:41:06You said
00:41:07There was still time
00:41:08And you believed whatever I said?
00:41:11Alistair, you were the one who did not want to call that ambulance
00:41:14You were afraid she would back out
00:41:15Afraid she would run
00:41:17Afraid your perfect scapegoat would disappear
00:41:20You pushed me to delay
00:41:24You handed her the papers
00:41:26You set the terms
00:41:27You forced her to sign
00:41:30You just do not want to admit that from start to finish
00:41:32The person who most wanted her to take the fall was you
00:41:34Me?
00:41:35I only said the filthy little thought already sitting in your head
00:41:40Alistair, the person who killed your child was not me
00:41:42It was you
00:41:47Do you know what happened?
00:41:50That night, I came to you crying because I was scared
00:41:54Alistair, help me
00:41:55I hit someone
00:41:56That person...
00:41:58That person is not moving
00:41:59I did not mean to
00:42:01The road was too dark
00:42:03Who was the victim?
00:42:04Any witnesses?
00:42:05I do not know
00:42:07Maybe a homeless man?
00:42:08I think...
00:42:09I do not think anyone saw
00:42:10Victoria, you know what that means
00:42:13Vehicular manslaughter
00:42:14Federal felony
00:42:15Your career, your reputation
00:42:17Everything is over
00:42:18Please
00:42:20I know you have a way
00:42:21You know so many people
00:42:25Are you sure you left no evidence that could be traced back to you?
00:42:28I am sure
00:42:29I already got rid of the car
00:42:31And there are no cameras on that road
00:42:32You need a scapegoat
00:42:35Someone important enough
00:42:36And controllable enough
00:42:39What?
00:42:41Chloe
00:42:42No
00:42:43That is not how it happened
00:42:45Remember now?
00:42:47You said it yourself
00:42:48We need a scapegoat
00:42:50Someone important enough
00:42:52And controllable enough
00:42:53Then you said her name
00:42:57So do not put all of this on me, Alistair
00:42:59You sent your wife to hell with your own hands
00:43:16I can carry it myself
00:43:19It is windy today
00:43:23Coffee after rehearsal?
00:43:24That new place you wanted to try with the chestnut cake?
00:43:27Yeah
00:43:28She smiled
00:43:29In a world without me
00:43:34She is so alive
00:43:43What is it?
00:43:45Nothing
00:43:56Chloe?
00:43:58Yes?
00:43:59There is something I have wanted to say for a long time
00:44:01These three years
00:44:03Watching you rise from the wreckage
00:44:04And walk into the spotlight
00:44:05Has been the greatest honor of my life
00:44:07I admire your talent
00:44:08And I ache for how strong you have had to be
00:44:11If you would let me
00:44:11I want to stand by your side in the future
00:44:14Not only as your patron and friend
00:44:17Would you
00:44:18Give me a chance?
00:44:24Julian, you are my dearest friend
00:44:26And the person I am most grateful to
00:44:28Without you, I would not be who I am today
00:44:31But
00:44:31My heart is a ruin
00:44:33Nothing new grows there
00:44:35And no one deserves to step inside it again
00:44:37I understand
00:44:39Thank you for understanding
00:44:41We can still be friends, right?
00:44:43Of course
00:44:43Let us go try that chestnut cake
00:44:51Sir, the flight departs in 45 minutes
00:44:54We should head to the gate
00:44:55The highly anticipated
00:44:56Voices of Hope charity concert
00:44:58Will be held tonight
00:44:59At City Hall Concert Hall
00:45:00Organizers recently confirmed
00:45:02That the stage build
00:45:03And lighting work
00:45:04Will be handled by local contractor
00:45:06Pinnock Vision
00:45:07Run that contractor
00:45:08Pinnock Vision
00:45:09I want every background check
00:45:10And safety record
00:45:14Found it
00:45:15This company
00:45:16Has three OSHA complaints
00:45:19And last year in Munich
00:45:20There was a serious stage collapse
00:45:22How the hell could they hire them?
00:45:31Cancel the flight
00:45:32But
00:45:33The meeting
00:45:34Cancel it
00:45:34Now
00:45:35Yes
00:45:36I will handle it right away
00:45:38She is still that little girl
00:45:40Who needs someone watching over her
00:45:42Without me
00:45:43She cannot even protect herself
00:45:44Chloe
00:45:45Please do not let anything happen to you
00:45:59Chloe
00:46:00Move
00:46:01It is dangerous
00:46:03No
00:46:19Oh 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
00:46:39Claire
00:46:40Are you hurt?
00:46:44Why are you here?
00:46:46You again?
00:46:47The contractor's records were bad
00:46:49I found out but
00:46:52I was half a step too late
00:46:57Wipe it
00:46:58Your hand
00:47:08As long as you are safe
00:47:09I asked about your injury
00:47:12Surface wound
00:47:13I will not die
00:47:16About the chandelier
00:47:17By the time I found the records
00:47:18It was too late
00:47:20I could only
00:47:21Run
00:47:22You do not need to explain
00:47:24I said thank you
00:47:26That is all
00:47:34Chloe
00:47:35I got all the hospital records
00:47:37That night
00:47:39You were bleeding so much
00:47:41Lying on the floor
00:47:42Begging me
00:47:43I held the papers
00:47:45And waited for you to sign
00:47:46I waited 47 minutes
00:47:49The doctor said I signed a consent
00:47:51For bleeding control
00:47:52Not surgical authorization
00:47:55The baby's heartbeat
00:47:57Stopped at minute 35
00:48:01I delayed him to death
00:48:02Shut up
00:48:04What is the point of saying this now?
00:48:07There is no point
00:48:09None at all
00:48:13I just wanted Chloe to know Alistair found out everything
00:48:17Victoria, the accident
00:48:18And Alistair's own choices
00:48:21Alistair was the source
00:48:23My existence is the source of 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
00:48:28You remember how filthy I am
00:48:30So?
00:48:31So I disappear
00:48:31It is the only thing
00:48:33I can still do for you
00:48:34Alice
00:48:47Promise me we will not be apart
00:48:48For a hundred years
00:48:51Not a hundred years
00:48:53Forever, Chloe
00:48:56Forever
00:48:58Chloe, forgive me for being reckless
00:49:01But I cannot fight this anymore
00:49:02Will you marry me?
00:49:04Will you be my wife?
00:49:05I am just an ordinary girl
00:49:07How could I ever be worthy of...
00:49:08Do not ever say that about yourself
00:49:09To me, you are the most beautiful, purest woman in the world
00:49:12You deserve everything
00:49:18Alistair
00:49:20Good
00:49:20Go
00:49:26It is over
00:49:31Sir, please reconsider
00:49:32These assets are to shake the entire industry
00:49:34Especially the family fund and Kurgutra
00:49:35And years of your life's work
00:49:36I know
00:49:37This is not just wealth
00:49:38It is all your power and protection
00:49:40Once you sign, there is no going back
00:49:43Begin
00:49:47The irreversible trust naming Miss Chloe Stangling as sole beneficiary
00:49:51Is now officially in effect
00:49:53It covers all equity, real estate, liquid assets, liquid assets and family fund interests under your name
00:49:59This is the copy
00:50:00According to the terms, the trustee will notify the beneficiary at the appropriate time
00:50:06She does not need to know
00:50:08But you may leave
00:50:23Chloe, this is the only thing
00:50:25I can still give you
00:50:34Thank you
00:50:40Claire, your playing was so beautiful
00:50:44I want to be a cellist like you someday
00:50:49Thank you sweetheart
00:50:51I love them
00:50:52When you bowed just now, you kept looking over there
00:50:55Was your music for someone who sat there?
00:50:58Like in a story?
00:51:09No
00:51:09My music is only for me
00:51:11He did not come
00:51:13I should have known
00:51:14It really is all over
00:51:21Chloe, this arrived anonymously this morning
00:51:24It is a family trust beneficiary transfer worth hundreds of billions
00:51:30You are named the sole beneficiary
00:51:36It is Alistair
00:51:37Tell them I refuse
00:51:39Chloe, do you understand what this means?
00:51:41An astronomical fortune
00:51:43And in a way
00:51:45In a way
00:51:47Compensation
00:51:47Or charity
00:51:48Brody, I do not need it
00:51:52Putting a price tag on a life with money
00:51:54Putting a price tag on a life with money
00:51:56Alistair, you really have not changed
00:51:59Send it back untouched
00:52:01I do not need anything from him
00:52:03And I do not need to leave him any message
00:52:17Who happened to tell her
00:52:19How dare they
00:52:22Right
00:52:22Even the last thing
00:52:24She does not want it
00:52:27Sir, we have news from the federal side
00:52:29Miss Victoria has been released on bail
00:52:31I am worried she will be
00:52:32No, Chloe may be in danger
00:53:00Chloe, what happened?
00:53:01What was that?
00:53:02Nothing
00:53:03Just an old photo
00:53:09This is not a prank, Chloe
00:53:12This is dangerous
00:53:14You cannot be alone
00:53:15I am taking you home
00:53:16I am fine
00:53:17You have been busy lately
00:53:18And I have already caused you enough trouble
00:53:21Call me if anything happens
00:53:26I will
00:53:26I am fine
00:53:27I am fine
00:53:50You have to be home
00:53:56Do not move. We only want your hand.
00:54:04How much did Victoria pay you? I will double it!
00:54:09Save it, Mrs. Sterling. We get paid to do a job, and we follow rules.
00:54:23Alistair!
00:54:26Stop!
00:54:31Alistair, you said you would disappear from my world. Why did you come back?
00:54:36How did this happen? Do not scare me like this.
00:54:40You are safe. Thank God you are safe.
00:55:02I need to report a crime. South parking lot of the Vienna concert hall. Armed assault, attempted intentional injury, the
00:55:08suspect is restrained.
00:55:09Also, this involves cross-border crime and a federal felony scapegoating case in New York from three years ago. I
00:55:14have the full chain of evidence.
00:55:18Watch him. Do not let anyone near him.
00:55:31Chloe is going to be okay.
00:55:42Doctor, how is he?
00:55:51The patient has lost too much blood. His blood pressure is barely detectable. He needs an emergency transfusion, but...
00:55:58But what?
00:56:01He is RH negative. The blood bank has no supply. His condition is critical, and we must find a matching
00:56:07donor immediately. We have contacted every nearby hospital and blood center, but...
00:56:12Take mine.
00:56:14What? Do you hear yourself? You are going to save him? The man who nearly destroyed you?
00:56:21Anonymous, do not record my name. Draw the blood, and I leave immediately. If you agree, I will sign now.
00:56:30All right. Please sign the confidentiality agreement and consent form here. She really signed it.
00:56:41Why? He pushed you into hell and made you lose everything. Have you forgotten the baby?
00:56:48I am not saving him. I just... do not want to owe him a life. Three years ago, he gave
00:56:54me a home, then destroyed me with his own hands. Now I give him my blood back. From this moment
00:56:58on, we owe each other nothing.
00:57:02The stab wound is deep, and he lost a lot of blood. We saved him, but whether he wakes up,
00:57:07and when, depends on his will and recovery. The next 24 hours are critical.
00:57:11Wake up. You think taking that knife and bleeding like this makes us even? You think because you are lying
00:57:16here, I can forget my child? Forget every time you abandoned me for Victoria?
00:57:20I cannot forget. I cannot forget when the doctor told me the baby was gone, your signature was at the
00:57:26bottom of that document. So cold. So quick.
00:57:30What is this? You lying here? Repentance? Atonement? It is too late.
00:57:34My child is not coming back. The Chloe who once believed you in that practice room is not coming back
00:57:39either.
00:57:39Wake up. Wake up. Look at me. I want you to see with your own eyes that without you, without
00:57:44the sterling name, I can still stand at 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. You still owe me too much.
00:57:59You have to wake up.
00:58:02Alistairn, you heard me. You are awake, are you not? Alistairn!
00:58:09Direct flight to Zurich. Leaves in two hours. The studio and apartment there are ready.
00:58:15News just came from the States. Victoria's extradition is complete. She is being flown back this afternoon under escort.
00:58:21Federal felony?
00:58:22Multiple charges, including attempted murder, cross-border murder for here, and financial fraud.
00:58:26With stacked sentences, she is never getting out.
00:58:29Got it.
00:58:30That is your reaction? She almost ruined your life.
00:58:33It takes energy. I do not have any left, and I do not want to waste it here.
00:58:40You could even save him.
00:58:44I saved myself. From now on, I owe them nothing.
00:59:10Chloe, darling. What time is it?
00:59:13When did you change the bedroom like this?
00:59:15No. This is a hospital.
00:59:18Why am I in a hospital?
00:59:22Mr. Sterling, please do not move.
00:59:25I am fine. Where is Chloe? Where am I?
00:59:29Mr. Sterling, this is the ICU. You were stabbed and have been unconscious for four days.
00:59:33No. I clearly remember us watching the city lights on the rooftop last night.
00:59:38Sir, you need to lie down. You had internal bleeding and just came out of surgery.
00:59:43You need complete bed rest.
00:59:45Ms. Chloe Sterling is not here.
00:59:46Not here? Where did she go?
00:59:49I heard she went to Zurich.
00:59:53Zurich? For work? Why did I not know?
00:59:58I do not know the details. I only heard she left.
01:00:01Maybe it is just a last minute performance.
01:00:04Or she did not tell me because she wanted to surprise me.
01:00:08When is she coming back?
01:00:09I really do not know.
01:00:11No. What is this feeling? It feels like I lost her. What the hell happened?
01:00:21Victoria already said she didn't mean it. Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
01:00:25I wrote every single note of this myself. This is two years of my hard work.
01:00:29Allison, you know that better than anyone.
01:00:31Hard work?
01:00:33Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing? This score? Or the status you built using it as a prop?
01:00:38A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate.
01:00:44Who are you trying to impress with this wrong woman act?
01:00:47Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the
01:00:53top?
01:00:57Cancel this surgery? You're going to kill our own flustered bludges 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? Where is Chloe? What did I do to her?
01:01:13Okay, okay, okay. Mr. Sterling, please calm down and stop thinking so hard.
01:01:19You need rest right now. You cannot get this agitated.
01:01:23Tell me, were those real? Did I do that to her?
01:01:28I... Please lie down first. I will get the doctor.
01:01:40The wound is healing well. No sign of infection.
01:01:43But the blood loss left you very weak. You need time to recover.
01:01:47Blood loss?
01:01:48Yes. When you were admitted, your condition was critical.
01:01:51Acute massive bleeding, hemogym at a dangerous level. We performed an emergency transfusion.
01:01:55You were lucky. Someone volunteered to donate blood and saved your life.
01:01:59Who?
01:02:00I am sorry, Mr. Sterling. The donor signed a strict confidentiality agreement.
01:02:04We are not authorized to disclose that.
01:02:10Alistin, look! We have the same blood type. What are the odds?
01:02:13It is rare. The odds feel like fate.
01:02:16So if anything ever happens to either of us, the other can be their blood bank, right?
01:02:20I do not say unlucky things, but yes, I will protect you any way I can.
01:02:27Chloe was here. Was Chloe not? The donor, was it Chloe?
01:02:31I cannot answer questions about visitors. You need rest.
01:02:36Tell me!
01:02:37Mr. Sterling, please calm down. Any information about the donor is legally protected.
01:02:48Mr. Sterling.
01:02:51There is an update on Ms. Thorne. The extradition process is complete. She was put on a flight back to
01:02:56New York under police escort this morning.
01:02:58When?
01:02:58Three days ago. The day after your surgery.
01:03:01Also, Chloe.
01:03:03The afternoon after Alistair's surgery ended and Alistair was confirmed out of danger, Chloe boarded a flight and left. Destination
01:03:08Zurich.
01:03:09Mr. Brody Cookup, Chloe's manager, Pumbrick, released her leg of Chloe's Odo tour schedule.
01:03:12That afternoon?
01:03:13Yes. Flight records show takeoff at 4.15 p.m. She gave blood and left without looking back.
01:03:21Should I contact Mrs. Sterling or try to obtain the details of her tour?
01:03:25No. She was right to leave.
01:03:29Report the crime, testify, donate blood, leave. Every step was calculated. Clean. She 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.
01:03:46The blood bank record is anonymous. We cannot confirm...
01:03:49I can feel it.
01:03:51My body knows her blood. No one but Chloe.
01:03:56Call 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. Who is this?
01:04:07Mr. Cook, hello. This is David, Mr. Sterling's assistant. Mr. Sterling would like to speak with Mrs. Sterling.
01:04:11Miss Claire Moreo is in intensive tour rehearsal in Zurich. Her schedule is full. She is not accepting any non
01:04:16-performance related call.
01:04:17Tell her it is me. Tell her I know it was her. That bag of blood. I know she gave
01:04:22it.
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. You think even hating me is a waste, do you?
01:04:31Even letting me confirm this debt feels like another form of harassment.
01:04:46Do not go.
01:04:49Move.
01:04:50Mr. Sterling, you need to be back at the hospital. I have heard enough from doctors. I'm not going anywhere.
01:04:56Brody, go confirm boarding.
01:04:58Chloe...
01:04:59Go!
01:05:00Go!
01:05:02Let me stay by your side. Just this once.
01:05:06On what grounds?
01:05:08I...
01:05:10I paid back your blood. I saved your life. We are even.
01:05:14We are not. We never will be.
01:05:17Let go.
01:05:18I checked the flights. I know your next stop is Paris. Let me go with you. I will watch from
01:05:22far away. I swear I will not bother you.
01:05:24Alistair, listen carefully. You keep saying you want to protect me.
01:05:27But when my manuscript was destroyed, what did you do? When my baby was gone, what did you do?
01:05:32I...
01:05:32And now you want to stay by my side? Too late. Way too late.
01:05:39Do not follow me again. I want none of your guilt, none of your repentance.
01:05:43Then what do you want? Tell me!
01:05:48I will give you everything. The company, the shares, all of it.
01:05:54Chloe!
01:05:56I want you to disappear forever.
01:06:01Do not go. Please. Give me one chance, even if it is only to watch you from a distance.
01:06:08A chance. Three 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 i-jetives, I never
01:06:20committed.
01:06:21Who gave me a chance?
01:06:22I know I was wrong. I will spend the rest of my life.
01:06:25I do not want the rest of your life, Alistair. I just must want my peace.
01:06:29Chloe! What about our child? Can 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.
01:06:47Chloe!
01:06:49Sir, are you alright? Let me take you to...
01:06:53No, no, Chloe.
01:07:04Sir, you are awake. You 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. You must rest.
01:07:17Where is Chloe now?
01:07:19Mrs. Sterling's tour team returns to the council.
01:07:21Vienna, Vienna this afternoon.
01:07:23Sir!
01:07:24Get the car. Now.
01:07:26But 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.
01:07:37Sir, 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. I was wrong. I will spend everything to atone.
01:07:47You're everything burned to ash three years ago.
01:07:50Everything I have now I earn myself, including my peace.
01:07:53So he can give you peace?
01:07:56Mrs. Sterling needs to prepare for her performance. Please leave.
01:07:59You let him touch your score.
01:08:01You let him stand beside you.
01:08:03Then what am I?
01:08:11The blood?
01:08:12Chloe, wait.
01:08:14The blood that saved my life?
01:08:16Was it yours?
01:08:20Yes.
01:08:21Why? You hate me.
01:08:23To repay a debt.
01:08:24What?
01:08:25Three years ago, you signed a paper and traded my life for hers.
01:08:29Now I repay you once.
01:08:30Blood for blood. Nothing owed.
01:08:33No. It is not a debt.
01:08:35I owe you and I can never repay it.
01:08:36It is a debt. It is paid.
01:08:39From now on, your blood, your wounds, whether you live or die, none of it has anything to do with
01:08:44me.
01:08:45I'm not going to let you do this.
01:08:47Get the hell away from me!
01:08:49Let us go in.
01:09:09Oh no!
01:09:10What is it?
01:09:11God, no.
01:09:13That is impossible.
01:09:15This...
01:09:16How could this string...
01:09:17I checked it yesterday. It was fine.
01:09:20And Chloe are always so careful.
01:09:22Accidents happen. It is not a big deal.
01:09:24Where are the spare strings?
01:09:26Did you bring an extra string?
01:09:29Here, here. I packed an extra set on purpose.
01:09:31It is staged in a Leon and...
01:09:33When that...
01:09:34This...
01:09:34This is impossible.
01:09:36I kept it in the humidity, Pash.
01:09:38Do not panic.
01:09:40I will ask when the new cello arrives.
01:09:44What? The car broke down?
01:09:46Did you not guarantee it would be on time tomorrow morning at the earliest?
01:09:49Shit!
01:09:49I contacted a friend in Berlin.
01:09:51His workshop has strings in the same gauge, but driving them here will take at least four hours.
01:09:56Not enough time.
01:09:58Rehearsal is in two hours, and the concert is tonight.
01:10:01Why now?
01:10:01Damn it!
01:10:12Claire's string snapped.
01:10:13The spare is oxidized, too.
01:10:15The new cello is still on the road, and they cannot reach the maker.
01:10:18Wait.
01:10:19Whose string broke?
01:10:20Claire's?
01:10:21Sir.
01:10:21Backstage matters are not disclosed to unrelated people.
01:10:26Now tell me exactly what happened.
01:10:28It is Mrs. Claire, the principal cellist.
01:10:30Her main strings slapped during pre-show check.
01:10:33The spare is oxidized and unusable, and the emergency replacement cello is delayed.
01:10:39It is bad.
01:10:40It is Chloe, of course.
01:10:42She is still the little girl who needs my shelter.
01:10:45Only under my wing can she play safely.
01:10:48It is me.
01:10:49Use every resource.
01:10:50Find top-tier gut cello strings that can reach the Vienna Musikheim within two hours.
01:10:54Send 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.
01:11:06Chloe, do not panic.
01:11:07I already got the strings.
01:11:15The 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?
01:11:27When I found the broken string.
01:11:29Brody made a few calls.
01:11:30Julian confirmed the workshop inventory.
01:11:32The car arrived 40 minutes ago.
01:11:33Good.
01:11:34As long as it is solved.
01:11:35Alistair.
01:11:35Three years ago, I lay in the hospital waiting for a consent form with your signature.
01:11:38Your 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
01:11:46you.
01:11:47Your help only appears when you think it is safe and convenient.
01:11:49My life and death, my career, had to run on your schedule.
01:11:52This time is different.
01:11:53It 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.
01:12:06These headlines, they will ruin her performance.
01:12:09What will she think of me?
01:12:11Sir, Mr. Brody Cooks just notified the press.
01:12:13Miss Chloe is holding a press conference right up ahead.
01:12:15Miss 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.
01:12:26Mr. Brody, I photographed Mr. Sterling here two mornings ago in Wandering, and he had contact with Miss Chloe.
01:12:30Does this mean Mr. Sterling's trying to win her back?
01:12:31Mr. Sterling's actions are his personal choice.
01:12:34Miss Chloe's position has been made clear in the statement.
01:12:37Her life and career are centered on music.
01:12:39My team is fully capable of handling every performance matter.
01:12:42Any 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.
01:13:09Chloe, I know you can hear me!
01:13:15I saw the press conference.
01:13:17You said we were even.
01:13:19But how can I be even?
01:13:20The baby is gone because I signed.
01:13:22You 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...
01:13:35some irrelevant stranger.
01:13:41Then 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.
01:13:55Once it is poured out, I will not pick it back up.
01:14:00You 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.
01:14:24You should be gone now.
01:14:46You should go to the hospital.
01:14:50I just do not want tomorrow's headline to say
01:14:52former 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.
01:15:04Every minute, I remember.
01:15:05When 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 what I...
01:15:13Long 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,
01:15:19we play in my head every day.
01:15:20Then let them keep playing.
01:15:22That is your business.
01:15:23But do not die here.
01:15:24Get up.
01:15:25I will call a car to take you to the hospital.
01:15:27I am not going.
01:15:29Shoot yourself.
01:15:30Wait!
01:15:38My sins can only be washed clean with blood.
01:15:43Is this enough?
01:15:45Put the knife down.
01:15:50Tell me, how much blood is enough?
01:15:56Is this life enough to pay?
01:15:58Your life has no value to me now.
01:16:01Then what has value?
01:16:03Tell me, what can I still give you?
01:16:05I want nothing.
01:16:07Especially nothing from you.
01:16:10Then watch me die.
01:16:11You are forcing me again.
01:16:13No.
01:16:14This time I choose it myself.
01:16:17You just watch.
01:16:19Take it as a late offering.
01:16:22Let go.
01:16:23Let me.
01:16:25I said let go!
01:16:33Your blood cannot wash anything clean.
01:16:35It will only stay in this street.
01:16:37Then what?
01:16:38What the hell am I supposed to do?
01:16:44At the very least, you should not be kneeling here trying to die.
01:16:56Stop!
01:16:59Stop!
01:17:00Stop it.
01:17:02Is it enough?
01:17:03Is this life enough to pay?
01:17:08Put the knife down.
01:17:09Say it first.
01:17:10Is it enough?
01:17:11I said put the knife down!
01:17:15The baby is not coming back.
01:17:17You could bleed yourself dry and he still would not come back.
01:17:21When I was lying on the operating table waiting for your signature,
01:17:24he was already gone.
01:17:26What 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.
01:17:39What did you say?
01:17:45I forgive you.
01:17:46No.
01:17:48Chloe, do not.
01:17:49Do not forgive me.
01:17:50I do not deserve it.
01:17:52It is not for you.
01:17:53It is for me.
01:17:55I have to move forward.
01:17:56Move forward.
01:17:57Good.
01:17:59You go.
01:18:00Do not look back.
01:18:01But do not forgive me.
01:18:03Please.
01:18:04The baby will not come back.
01:18:06The blood I lost cannot be returned.
01:18:08None 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.
01:18:18Even.
01:18:20Okay.
01:18:21Even.
01:18:22Never see me again.
01:18:23Chloe.
01:18:25Live well.
01:18:32Mr. Sterling.
01:18:35Mr. Sterling.
01:18:37Hold on.
01:18:38I am calling an ambulance right now.
01:18:41Chiloe.
01:18:42What?
01:18:43Chiloe.
01:18:54Sir, you are awake.
01:18:55The doctor said you lost too much blood, but thank God.
01:18:58You have been unconscious for two days.
01:19:00Miss Chloe, she...
01:19:01David.
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 let go.
01:19:23Ashes should look like ashes.
01:19:29They adjusted the sound post overnight.
01:19:31Want to try it?
01:19:36It is quiet.
01:19:38More reliable than people.
01:19:45Time to go stage.
01:19:47Time to go stage.
01:20:10The strings will never tremble for lies again.
01:20:12This first note is both a funeral and a reeling.
01:20:16Every accent is the echo of a golden cage shattering.
01:20:19What he destroyed was never just a cello.
01:20:21My blood, everything I lost.
01:20:23It all burns inside this melody.
01:20:27There is no place to breathe in the ashes.
01:20:33There is no burning back.
01:20:38Look, Alistair.
01:20:39Without you, I still stand in the light.
01:20:42And this light will never shine for you.
01:20:45Can I imagine it?
01:20:48I think I saw Alistair.
01:21:04Claire, these flowers are for you.
01:21:06Who asked you to bring them?
01:21:08I...
01:21:08I brought them myself.
01:21:10White lilies of the valley.
01:21:12Finally, we had a pot on the balcony of the New York apartment.
01:21:15It died.
01:21:17They are beautiful.
01:21:19I will keep them.
01:21:20From a fan?
01:21:21Let me check them.
01:21:23No need.
01:21:24You know who sent them.
01:21:25I do.
01:21:27Then why accept them?
01:21:28The flowers are innocent.
01:21:30The 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.
01:21:41This is your reward.
01:21:43Go buy yourself some candy.
01:21:45Thank you, sir.
01:21:56Mr. Sterling, at the current rate of progression,
01:21:58a 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.
01:22:09Under the terms, all assets under your name,
01:22:11after 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.
01:22:25Mr. Sterling, please take care.
01:22:35Now, this is better.
01:22:39Oh, Chloe.
01:22:59Excuse me, sir.
01:23:01Could you tell me, is this the right direction to the Julie Hart School?
01:23:05Wrong side.
01:23:06Wrong side.
01:23:06Across the platform.
01:23:09I just got to New York.
01:23:12Your cufflinks.
01:23:13They are beautiful.
01:23:27It's not the wrong way.
01:23:30We both went the wrong way.
01:23:34We both went the wrong way.
01:23:36We both went the wrong way.
01:23:38We both went the wrong way.
01:23:38We both went the wrong way.
01:23:38We both went the wrong way.
01:23:39We both went the wrong way.
01:23:39We both went the wrong way.
01:23:39We both went the wrong way.
01:23:40We both went the wrong way.
01:23:41You
