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.

00:08:59Wait!

00:09:07Wait.

00:09:08Alistin, I 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.

00:09:19You 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

00:09:27the paperwork looking pretty?

00:09:28I already have a car

00:09:30waiting 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

00:09:36wasting time here tonight.

00:09:37Wait for the feds to arrive,

00:09:39or wait for the baby

00:09:40to 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

00:10:06for 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

00:10:32a severe threatened miscarriage

00:10:33with significant uterine bleeding.

00:10:34We must operate immediately

00:10:35to stop the hemorrhage.

00:10:36She's in critical condition.

00:10:37Any further delay,

00:10:38and we won't be able to save

00:10:38either 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

00:10:41a combined procedure for surgery

00:10:42and 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

00:10:51will be at risk, too.

00:10:53Mr. Sterling,

00:10:55Victoria at DUI.

00:10:56If you want your wife

00:10:56to take the fall,

00:10:57it's best she has no recent

00:10:58record 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?

00:11:19Cancel the surgery?

00:11:20You're gonna kill

00:11:20our own flesh and blood

00:11:21just for Victoria?

00:11:23As long as you take

00:11:24the fall for the accident,

00:11:25we can have other children later.

00:11:28But Victoria's reputation

00:11:29is vital to her.

00:11:30She cannot have

00:11:31a criminal record.

00:11:32Ma'am, please calm down.

00:11:34She's eight weeks pregnant

00:11:35and hemorrhaging.

00:11:36And you want her

00:11:37to confess to a crime?

00:11:40Save your misplaced

00:11:41sense of justice

00:11:42and do as I say,

00:11:43or you'll be kicked out

00:11:44of the medical profession

00:11:45for good by tomorrow.

00:11:52You didn't come here

00:11:53to save me at all.

00:11:54You said only today

00:11:54that protect me.

00:11:55Is this what you call

00:11:56protection?

00:11:58Be a good girl

00:11:59and confess.

00:12:01You'll still be

00:12:01my most cherished wife.

00:12:03No.

00:12:05Alistair,

00:12:05I'm begging you.

00:12:20Alistair,

00:12:22where is my baby?

00:12:33The baby wasn't meant

00:12:34to be with us.

00:12:35Don't play games

00:12:36with me.

00:12:36Was it an accident

00:12:37or did you order

00:12:38the 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

00:12:51through the night.

00:12:52I've used

00:12:52the Sterling Family Trust

00:12:53to post your

00:12:54$50 million bail.

00:13:00Alistair,

00:13:01even your way

00:13:01of 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.

00:13:08I'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

00:13:29at four is really nice,

00:13:30though the waist

00:13:30is a bit tight.

00:13:35Who gave you permission

00:13:36to wear my clothes?

00:13:37Is there anything

00:13:38in 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

00:13:43with his card?

00:13:46Chloe,

00:13:47the 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,

00:13:54I'm just borrowing it.

00:13:55Does she really

00:13:56have to be so mean?

00:13:59It's just a pajama.

00:14:01Do you have to start

00:14:01a scene the second

00:14:02you get home?

00:14:07Chloe,

00:14:08have 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

00:14:17pathetic last night.

00:14:17Did you know?

00:14:18He complained

00:14:18that your crying

00:14:19was too loud,

00:14:19so he held me

00:14:20in 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

00:14:27Christian of you.

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,

00:14:38what the hell

00:14:39is wrong with you,

00:14:40lady?

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

00:14:48protect me,

00:14:48but who are you

00:14:49protecting now?

00:14:50Look at me,

00:14:51Alistair!

00:14:51Look at me!

00:14:52Fine.

00:14:53I choose you.

00:14:54Chloe,

00:14:55I choose you.

00:14:56Now let her go

00:14:56and come here.

00:15:05Don't you ever

00:15:06touch her again.

00:15:08This is your last warning.

00:15:11I don't want to touch her.

00:15:33Sign it and you'll be

00:15:34Mrs. 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

00:15:40are so different.

00:15:41Without this,

00:15:42my family might not

00:15:42accept you.

00:15:43Listen,

00:15:43this agreement

00:15:44is only to appease

00:15:45the family.

00:15:45My promise to you

00:15:46is right here.

00:15:47I added a handwritten

00:15:47clause.

00:15:48If I ever betray you

00:15:49or if you feel

00:15:49any unhappiness

00:15:50in this marriage,

00:15:51you can burn it

00:15:51at any time.

00:15:52No lawyers needed,

00:15:52no need to notify me.

00:15:53The moment you burn

00:15:54this agreement,

00:15:54you are free.

00:15:55This is my only

00:15:56true guarantee.

00:16:05You promised.

00:16:06It's over.

00:16:11Brody, it's me.

00:16:13Get me a ticket

00:16:13to Europe for 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

00:16:36you are going?

00:16:37That's none of your business.

00:16:38None of my business?

00:16:39Did you forget

00:16:40the agreement?

00:16:41Wherever you go,

00:16:42you report to me first.

00:16:43The agreement?

00:16:43I burned it.

00:16:44Just now.

00:16:45Alistair,

00:16:46you dare to burn it?

00:16:47That contract

00:16:47is 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

00:16:52enough from you lately.

00:16:52Do not push me.

00:16:53Do you have any idea

00:16:54that agreement

00:16:54is 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

00:17:01the clause you wrote yourself?

00:17:02You promised that

00:17:02if I was unhappy,

00:17:03I could burn it anytime.

00:17:04The second it burned,

00:17:05I was free.

00:17:05That was something

00:17:06I said to 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.

00:17:33Recording?

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

00:18:04a 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

00:19:57because of your father,

00:19:58because of those

00:19:59damn 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

00:20:45live 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

00:20:58is still hanging 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!

00:46:20Oh 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.

00:53:40Ah!

00:53:53Ha!

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?

00:54:36How 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 from three years ago.

00:55:14I 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.

00:55:42Doctor, how is he?

00:55:52The 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.

00:56:41Why?

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.

00:57:12Wake 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.

00:57:24I cannot forget when the doctor told me the baby was gone, your signature was at the bottom

00:57:27of that document.

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.

00:57:36The 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

00:57:46stand 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.

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

00:58:26fraud.

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,

01:02:19the other can be their blood bank, right?

01:02:20I'm not saying lovely things, but yes,

01:02:23I will protect you any way I can.

01:02:27Chloe was here.

01:02:29Was Chloe not the donor?

01:02:31Was 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...

01:09:17How 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.

01:22:35This is better.

01:22:42Who are you?

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.

01:23:09Thank you. I just got to New York.

01:23:11Your cufflinks, they are beautiful.

01:23:28That wrong way. We both went the wrong way.
