Transcript

00:00:03When I was 18, I signed a pre-nupable agreement and married Alistair, a man 15 years my senior.

00:00:14Everyone says I'm just a canary he keeps in a penthouse, but only I know how much he has favored

00:00:19me.

00:00:21This ring, which he designed himself, is the proof.

00:00:25And now, we finally have a little angel of our own.

00:00:29I have to tell Alistair the good news. I wonder how happy he'll be.

00:00:33Alistair, are you free right now? There's something I want you to be the first to know.

00:00:37Something's come up on my end.

00:00:39What's so urgent?

00:00:40Victoria's back. She's not doing well, so I need to take care of her first. I'll find you later. Be

00:00:45a good girl.

00:00:46Victoria. The one name he never allowed anyone to mention.

00:01:10You said you were busy today. So this is what you're busy with? Spending time with her?

00:01:16Am I interrupting something?

00:01:18She just got back and isn't doing well. Don't overthink it.

00:01:22Not 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?

00:01:47Article 32 of the pre-Hopful Agreement. You are not to interfere with my social life, schedule, or business arrangements.

00:01:53You signed it. Now follow the 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.

00:02:06Grow 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.

00:02:24Get 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 he bought later to replace it.

00:02:37What exactly are you trying to say?

00:02:38I'm saying you should know your place. So what if you're his wife? You live in his house, spend his

00:02:43money, and trade a contract for a last name.

00:02:45But I'm different. I don't need an appointment to enter his office. I sit on his sofa, and he pours

00:02:52my drinks himself.

00:02:53Alistair, I only have one question. Why is her ring the same as mine?

00:02:57It's just a ring.

00:03:00I designed this ring specifically for you. It's the only one of its kind in the world. After all, you

00:03:08are my one and only.

00:03:10Fine. I understand.

00:03:15What is this?

00:03:23It's just a manuscript for the competition. Don't bother yourself with it.

00:03:27I'll have the driver take you back.

00:03:29No need. I can get back on my own.

00:03:31I haven't had a chance to see her music room yet.

00:03:34See it if you want. You don't have to ask me twice about anything in this house.

00:03:38No problem. I'll send the manuscript over right now.

00:03:45My manuscript!

00:03:51This is my only original copy.

00:03:53I'm so sorry, Chloe. Who knew your music room would be such a mess? My hand slipped, and I spilled

00:03:58it. You won't blame me, will you?

00:04:00What a shame. I heard you were in a rush to submit this. What are you going to do now?

00:04:08Get your foot off it!

00:04:10It's just a pile of paper. Is all this really necessary?

00:04:17Alistair!

00:04:20Alistair, I really didn't mean it. I just wanted to see where she usually practices, but she started snapping at

00:04:25me the moment she got back. I'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. Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?

00:04:33I wrote every single note of this myself. This is two years of my hard work.

00:04:36Alistair, you know that better than anyone!

00:04:39Hard work? Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing? This score, or the status you've built using it as

00:04:44a prop?

00:04:45A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through 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 for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the

00:04:57top?

00:04:58I didn't.

00:04:58Am I wrong? Now that Victoria is back, you know your position is shaky, so you're using these tears and

00:05:03your so-called hard work as leverage.

00:05:05At the end of Yale, isn't this whole tantrum just a way to get my attention, to get more money,

00:05:09and to squeeze more out of me?

00:05:10No! You've forgotten! I never married you for your wealth, and I certainly wasn't plotting against the Sterling family. You

00:05:16were the one who begged me to marry you!

00:05:18I admit, I was blinded by you back then. If I could do it all over again, I would never

00:05:21marry 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, what exactly am I to you?

00:05:41You're my wife. I sketched the design for this ring myself.

00:05:43That year, you were playing the cello in the snow, your hands were beet red from the cold, yet you

00:05:47refused to stop.

00:05:48I sat in the car watching you for half an hour, and when I got back, I drew this.

00:05:52You still remember?

00:05:53Of course. Chloe, I'm not blind to these things.

00:05:57Then why do you protect her over and over again?

00:06:00Victoria is too deeply tied to the family's projects.

00:06:02I took her side today, not because she's more important than Chloe, but because I had to keep the situation

00:06:07under control.

00:06:07Don't take those words to heart.

00:06:09Is that really all it is?

00:06:10You're too young. There are many things I don't want you to get mixed up in.

00:06:18Alistair, I hit someone. There's so much blood. Please come quickly.

00:06:24Something came up at the office. I need to head out, but I'll be back soon.

00:06:28This late?

00:06:29Wait for me. Don't go anywhere.

00:06:33Little one, your father still cares for us. Just wait a little longer.

00:06:40Chloe, Victoria accidentally killed someone with her car. She can't be linked to this case.

00:06:44So, you're gonna take the fall for her.

00:06:52Chloe, don't be afraid. I'll handle everything. Just sign the papers, and I promise you'll be fine.

00:06:57You want me to take the fall for her killing someone?

00:06:59Alistair, you just said you would protect me.

00:07:01I am protecting you. The press is swarming outside, and the police are already watching us.

00:07:05We have to lock in the statement first, so I can get you out of this mess.

00:07:07Don't be difficult. This is the fastest way.

00:07:09The lawyers will arrange your bail. All you have to do is give your thumbprint.

00:07:12So, everything you said tonight was just a tactic to play me?

00:07:15The ring, the promises? What did any of it mean?

00:07:17It means you need to be smart right now.

00:07:19Article 33 of the prenuptal agreement.

00:07:21You are required to cooperate with family crisis management.

00:07:24Otherwise, you'll never be able to pay off the penalty in your lifetime.

00:07:27I'm not signing.

00:07:28Chloe, don't push me. Once you leave your print, this all ends tonight.

00:07:36Let go! You're hurting me!

00:07:42What?

00:07:45Chloe, how... Why are you bleeding so much?

00:07:54Alistair, I'm pregnant.

00:07:57It's your baby.

00:07:58Please take me to the hospital.

00:08:00Now is not the time for this.

00:08:02I'm begging you.

00:08:04Please.

00:08:06Sign this, and I'll arrange for the hospital immediately.

00:08:11You still want me to sign?

00:08:13The accident case is already open.

00:08:15Victoria cannot go to prison.

00:08:17Take the fall first, and I'll cover everything.

00:08:19The bail, the lawyers, the hospital.

00:08:21If you don't sign, no one is coming for you tonight.

00:08:24And the hospital won't prioritize you.

00:08:26That's a human life!

00:08:27Not one of your PR crisis!

00:08:29Do you think the feds will just take your word for it?

00:08:32If you confess, it'll only be a few years,

00:08:34and I can reduce your sentence.

00:08:36If you fight it,

00:08:37you won't even make it to bail.

00:08:40You're using the hospital to blackmail me?

00:08:42I'm giving you a way out.

00:08:43Chloe, be good.

00:08:44Just confess first.

00:08:45We'll talk about the baby later.

00:08:47Later?

00:08:47You don't even want it now.

00:08:49You said you'd never leave me alone.

00:08:52Sign it now.

00:08:59Wait!

00:09:06Wait.

00:09:08Aliston, I knew you wouldn't...

00:09:09If you sign it like this,

00:09:11it looks too much like coercion.

00:09:12The police might not accept it.

00:09:16Press your thumbprint,

00:09:17then sign it again.

00:09:18You stopped me!

00:09:20Just for this?

00:09:21The 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,

00:09:31I'll take you to the hospital immediately.

00:09:33And if I don't sign?

00:09:35Then you can keep wasting time here tonight.

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

00:09:39or wait for the baby to mice scrape on its own.

00:09:41Your 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.

00:10:04Don't be afraid.

00:10:05I'm calling an ambulance for you right now.

00:10:11Alistair,

00:10:12save the baby first,

00:10:13I beg you.

00:10:14Save the baby.

00:10:17As long as the baby is safe,

00:10:19anything else,

00:10:20I'll agree to anything.

00:10:22Don't worry.

00:10:23You and the baby will be fine.

00:10:24Let's go!

00:10:25Coming through!

00:10:28Come on.

00:10:29Come on.

00:10:31The patient is facing a severe threat and miscarriage

00:10:33with significant uterine bleeding.

00:10:34We must operate immediately to stop the hemorrhage.

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

00:10:37Any further delay,

00:10:37and we won't be able to save either the mother or the child.

00:10:39These are the prenatal records of the bleeding logs.

00:10:40Sign this now to authorize a combined procedure for surgery

00:10:42and fetal preservation, Mr. Sterling.

00:10:43There is no time.

00:10:44She's losing blood rapidly.

00:10:45She needs to be in the OR right now.

00:10:46Every minute counts.

00:10:47If we wait any longer,

00:10:49the baby is gone,

00:10:49and the mother's life will be at risk, too.

00:10:53Mr. Sterling,

00:10:54Victoria had DUI.

00:10:55If you want your wife to take the fall,

00:10:57it's best she has no recent record of pregnancy.

00:10:59Otherwise...

00:11:00Understood.

00:11:02Hold off on the filing.

00:11:03Suspend the surgery.

00:11:04Just stop the bleeding for now.

00:11:05What did you say?

00:11:08For her sake,

00:11:09you're even...

00:11:11abandoning our child?

00:11:18Cancel the surgery?

00:11:20You're going to kill our own flesh and blood just for Victoria?

00:11:22Victoria!

00:11:22As long as you take the fall for the accident,

00:11:25we can have other children with her.

00:11:28But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.

00:11:30She cannot have a criminal record.

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

00:11:33She's eight weeks pregnant and hemorrhaging.

00:11:36And you want her to confess to a crime?

00:11:39Save your misplaced sense of justice

00:11:41and do as I say,

00:11:43or you'll be kicked out of the medical profession

00:11:45for good by tomorrow.

00:11:51You didn't come here to save me at all.

00:11:53You said only today that protect me.

00:11:55Is this what you call protection?

00:11:58Be a good girl and confess.

00:12:00You'll still be my most cherished wife.

00:12:03No.

00:12:03Alistair, I'm begging you.

00:12:21Alistair,

00:12:22where is my baby?

00:12:32The baby wasn't meant to be with us.

00:12:34Don't play games with me.

00:12:36Was it an accident,

00:12:37or did you order the doctor to do it?

00:12:41You're still young.

00:12:43Once you've recovered,

00:12:45we'll have other children.

00:12:48Answer me!

00:12:49Victoria's legal team has been working through the night.

00:12:51I've used the Sterling Family Trust

00:12:53to post your $50 million bail.

00:13:00Alistair,

00:13:00even your way of killing is so refined.

00:13:03I have no patience for your tantrums.

00:13:05Behave yourself.

00:13:06Focus on your recovery.

00:13:07I'm busy lately.

00:13:09Once you're better,

00:13:10head back on your own.

00:13:10No need to let me know.

00:13:12Behave yourself.

00:13:26Oh, you're back.

00:13:28The fabric of this at four is really nice,

00:13:30though the waist is a bit tight.

00:13:35Who gave you permission to wear my clothes?

00:13:37Is there anything in this apartment

00:13:39that actually belongs to you,

00:13:40even 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.

00:13:49Sit 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?

00:14:12Alistair?

00:14:15He said you looked pathetic last night.

00:14:17Did you know?

00:14:18He complained that your crying was too loud,

00:14:19so he held me in his arms all night.

00:14:21He also said he never forgot about me.

00:14:23You were out of the game from the very beginning.

00:14:26That's very Christian of you.

00:14:31Alistair!

00:14:31Help me!

00:14:32Calm down.

00:14:33Put the knife down first.

00:14:34Choose.

00:14:36Choose between us right now!

00:14:38Chloe, what the hell is wrong with you lately?

00:14:40Be reasonable.

00:14:41I can't be reasonable.

00:14:42Everything changed the moment she came back.

00:14:44Have you forgotten how we lost our baby?

00:14:46Have you forgotten what you promised me?

00:14:47You said you would protect me,

00:14:48but who are you protecting now?

00:14:50Look at me, Alistair!

00:14:51Look at me!

00:14:52Fine.

00:14:52I choose you.

00:14:53Chloe, I choose you.

00:14:55Now let her go and come here.

00:15:05Don't you ever touch her again.

00:15:08This is your last warning.

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

00:15:32Sign it and you'll be Mrs. Sterling.

00:15:34It says here that I'm giving up almost all my rights.

00:15:37Don't worry, it's just a formality.

00:15:39Our backgrounds are so different.

00:15:41Without this, my family might not accept you.

00:15:43Listen, this agreement is only to appease the family.

00:15:45My promise to you is right here.

00:15:46I added a handwritten clause.

00:15:48If I ever betray you,

00:15:49or if you feel any unhappiness in this marriage,

00:15:50you can burn it at any time.

00:15:51No lawyers needed,

00:15:52no need to notify me.

00:15:53The moment you burn this agreement,

00:15:54you are free.

00:15:55This is my only true guarantee.

00:16:04You promised.

00:16:06It's over.

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

00:16:12Get me a ticket to Europe for tonight.

00:16:14Sterling.

00:16:14I burned the agreement.

00:16:16Understood.

00:16:16Two hours, the usual spot.

00:16:18Okay.

00:16:27Bye, Alistair.

00:16:34It is late.

00:16:35Where do you think you are going?

00:16:36That's none of your business.

00:16:38None of my business?

00:16:39Did you forget the agreement?

00:16:40Wherever you go,

00:16:41you report to me first.

00:16:43The agreement?

00:16:43I burned it.

00:16:44Just 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

00:16:50whenever you feel like it.

00:16:51I have put up with enough from you lately.

00:16:52Do not push me.

00:16:53Do you have any idea that agreement

00:16:54is what keeps you, Mrs. Sterling?

00:16:56How the hell am I supposed to protect you

00:16:57when you act like this?

00:16:58I know, but I cannot afford

00:16:59your kind of protection.

00:17:00Did you forget the clause you wrote yourself?

00:17:01You promised that if I was unhappy,

00:17:03I could burn it any time.

00:17:04The second it burned, I was free.

00:17:05That was something I said to make you happy.

00:17:07You think a court will honor that?

00:17:10I promise, once you burn it,

00:17:11you are free.

00:17:12I will not stop you.

00:17:16Chloe!

00:17:21Alistair!

00:17:26What happened out here?

00:17:27I thought I heard shouting.

00:17:29Was it Chloe?

00:17:29Is she throwing another tantrum?

00:17:30She ran at that ridiculous recording.

00:17:32A recording?

00:17:33Honey, you cannot seriously be worried.

00:17:35A pre-nap does not vanish

00:17:36because some 20-year-old girl

00:17:37throws it into a fireplace.

00:17:39She knows nothing about the law.

00:17:42She is just shaken from the miscarriage

00:17:44and the bail pressure is getting to her.

00:17:45She is trying to scare you.

00:17:46The harder you chase,

00:17:48the more power she 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.

00:17:54You really think so?

00:17:55Of course.

00:17:56It is just a little girl

00:17:57acting out for attention.

00:17:58We both know it.

00:17:59Besides, every account in her name

00:18:00is tied to your family trust.

00:18:02Without this place,

00:18:03she cannot even afford a 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.

00:18:09You are right.

00:18:10I am always on your side.

00:18:12Get some rest.

00:18:13You have the legal team tomorrow.

00:18:15Chloe,

00:18:17Chloe,

00:18:17I will wait for you

00:18:18to come back to me.

00:18:24Your passport and ticket

00:18:25are in the inner pocket.

00:18:27He will not find you.

00:18:28The 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.

00:18:44When you land,

00:18:45call this number.

00:18:50Chloe,

00:18:50forgive me for being reckless,

00:18:52but I cannot fight this anymore.

00:18:53Will you marry me?

00:18:55Will you be my wife?

00:18:56I am just an ordinary girl.

00:18:58How 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,

00:19:02purest woman in the world.

00:19:03You deserve everything.

00:19:05It is just a nightmare.

00:19:07Did you really have to come home

00:19:07and turn the whole place

00:19:08into a war zone?

00:19:12Chloe,

00:19:12are you done?

00:19:14Lately,

00:19:14you have been acting

00:19:15like a complete lunatic.

00:19:16Can you please grow up?

00:19:18Chloe!

00:19:19It is over.

00:19:26Stop thinking about it,

00:19:27Alistair.

00:19:28Chloe needs time

00:19:29to calm down.

00:19:32Get out.

00:19:33What?

00:19:34I said get out.

00:19:36Take 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

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.

00:19:51Chloe does not give a damn

00:19:52about Alistair.

00:19:54I do.

00:19:55Listen carefully,

00:19:56Victoria.

00:19:56I helped you because of your father,

00:19:58because of those damn business ties.

00:19:59But 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.

00:20:23Where 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.

00:20:36Cares about what?

00:20:37You.

00:20:38It is a little girl's stunt.

00:20:40The most dramatic way

00:20:40she 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.

00:20:45She used a fake ID.

00:20:48Emptied the accounts.

00:20:49So what?

00:20:49Every dime she has

00:20:50eventually leads back

00:20:51to the Sterling Family Trust.

00:20:52Where can she go without you?

00:20:53Sleep on the street?

00:20:54What is she right now?

00:20:55A suspect out on bail?

00:20:57The FBI case is still

00:20:58hanging over her.

00:20:59Besides you,

00:21:00who would dare take her in?

00:21:01The outside world

00:21:02is a hundred times scarier

00:21:03for her than this apartment.

00:21:04Give her time to act out.

00:21:05Once she has suffered enough,

00:21:07she will remember

00:21:07where 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?

00:21:32Yes, 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.

00:21:39The previous records exactly.

00:21:41Some of the brands

00:21:41Chloe liked

00:21:42changed creative directors

00:21:43this season.

00:21:43I reviewed the new collections.

00:21:45There are a few dresses

00:21:45Chloe would like.

00:21:46Yes, sir.

00:21:47Every year,

00:21:47you personally review

00:21:48the seasonal catalogs

00:21:49and reserve pieces

00:21:50for Mrs. Sterling

00:21:51for Mrs. Chloe.

00:21:52You have done that

00:21:52for three years.

00:21:54Chloe did not take

00:21:55a single thing

00:21:55when Chloe left.

00:21:57Perhaps,

00:21:57Mrs. Chloe knows

00:21:58you have been waiting

00:21:59for Chloe to come back.

00:22:00Waiting for Chloe

00:22:01to come back?

00:22:02No.

00:22:03I am just confirming

00:22:04whether Chloe really

00:22:05has 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.

00:22:14Tell 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,

00:22:32confirmed.

00:22:32It is

00:22:33Miss Chloe Sterling.

00:22:34She is performing

00:22:35under the stage name

00:22:36Claire Moray now.

00:22:36She is the orchestra's

00:22:37newly signed

00:22:38principal cellist.

00:22:38Her debut is next Friday

00:22:40at the Music Vi-

00:22:41Three years.

00:22:42I had her wardrobe

00:22:44at the estate

00:22:44refreshed every season.

00:22:45Those 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.

00:22:57Cancel the board meeting

00:22:59or let them talk

00:23:00to an empty chair.

00:23:01Right now,

00:23:02contact the airport.

00:23:03I want the next

00:23:04direct flight to Vienna.

00:23:05But, sir,

00:23:06the board-

00:23:08do it.

00:23:09Do it.

00:23:30Sir,

00:23:31rehearsal is closed.

00:23:32No outsiders.

00:23:33Move.

00:23:33I am here

00:23:34for Chloe Stingling.

00:23:35There is no

00:23:36Chloe Stingling here.

00:23:38The woman on Taze

00:23:39is Claire Moray,

00:23:39guest cello soloist

00:23:40for 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

00:24:06anyone disturbing her.

00:24:07Especially you.

00:24:08Who the hell are you?

00:24:10Her manager.

00:24:11And her friend.

00:24:12Leave before rehearsal

00:24:13ends or I call security.

00:24:31Chloe.

00:24:34We need to talk.

00:24:35Now.

00:24:36Sorry.

00:24:37Give me one minute

00:24:37to deal with old business.

00:24:41Have you been with him

00:24:42this whole three years?

00:24:43What does that have to do

00:24:44with you,

00:24:45Mr. Stirling?

00:24:47Listen to me.

00:24:48Back then-

00:24:49I do not want to hear it.

00:24:51I swear,

00:24:51I did not know it would-

00:24:52If I had known you were pregnant,

00:24:54I never would have-

00:24:54You 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 is over,

00:25:00leave.

00:25:01Sir,

00:25:02Claire needs to continue rehearse.

00:25:03Your disruption

00:25:04is not welcome here.

00:25:07She will not even bother

00:25:08to hate you anymore.

00:25:26Tonight's piece is called

00:25:27Ashes.

00:25:32Chloria 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?

00:25:35I wrote every single

00:25:36note of this myself.

00:25:37This is two years

00:25:38of my hard work.

00:25:40Allison,

00:25:40you know that better

00:25:41than anyone.

00:25:42Hard work?

00:25:44Chloe,

00:25:44what are you really

00:25:45afraid of losing?

00:25:46This score,

00:25:47or the status you built

00:25:48using it as a prop?

00:25:49It's just a piece

00:25:50she wrote back then.

00:26:08I need to speak with you.

00:26:11Chloe.

00:26:12I thought you'd never ask.

00:26:13That last bar was brilliant.

00:26:15Only because your theme

00:26:17gave me something to work.

00:26:1730% of sterling group equity

00:26:19transferred to you unconditionally,

00:26:21sign it,

00:26:21and it is yours.

00:26:2230%?

00:26:23That is astronomical.

00:26:24Mr. Sterling is generous.

00:26:26The dividends alone

00:26:27must be tens of millions.

00:26:29Music.

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

00:26:39give 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.

00:26:56I waited for you

00:26:56for three years.

00:26:57Every single day

00:26:58I thought about you.

00:26:59The confession,

00:27:00Victoria,

00:27:00everything.

00:27:01I finally understand it all.

00:27:02And?

00:27:03The baby.

00:27:04Our baby.

00:27:05I never even got the chance

00:27:06to make it right.

00:27:07Alistair Sterling,

00:27:08is this your repentance act?

00:27:10Who is the audience?

00:27:11These guests,

00:27:11or yourself?

00:27:12It is not an act.

00:27:14I am begging you,

00:27:15Chloe.

00:27:15Come home.

00:27:16Everything I have is yours.

00:27:17Sterling Group,

00:27:18my life,

00:27:19take all of it.

00:27:19Home?

00:27:20Did that place not become yours

00:27:21and Victoria's love nest

00:27:23a long time ago?

00:27:24Did she slept in the bed

00:27:25I slept in?

00:27:26Did you whisper the same

00:27:27sweet lies to her

00:27:28that you whispered to me?

00:27:29Never.

00:27:30I never let her

00:27:30into the master bedroom.

00:27:32If you think the place is dirty,

00:27:33we can burn it down

00:27:34and rebuild it.

00:27:36Rebuild what?

00:27:37Ashes are ashes,

00:27:38just like our rings

00:27:39in that agreement.

00:27:40Burned.

00:27:41Gone.

00:27:41Never coming back.

00:27:42Then what about me?

00:27:43These three years,

00:27:44I have been walking around

00:27:45like a corpse.

00:27:46What the hell

00:27:46am I supposed to do?

00:27:48You?

00:27:50Go back to Wall Street,

00:27:51hold 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.

00:28:12I was wrong.

00:28:13It started with Victoria's

00:28:14goddamn car accident

00:28:15and I was wrong

00:28:15from that moment.

00:28:16I forged the confession

00:28:18and used the agreement

00:28:19to force you to sign.

00:28:20Not because I believed

00:28:20that bullshit.

00:28:22I did it because

00:28:23I was scared.

00:28:24Scared of what?

00:28:25Scared you would see

00:28:25how rotten I was.

00:28:26Scared you would realize

00:28:27I was framing my own wife

00:28:29to save another woman's freedom.

00:28:30Scared you would look down

00:28:31on me.

00:28:32Scared you would leave.

00:28:32so I pushed you

00:28:33off the cliff first.

00:28:34I thought that would

00:28:35bind you to me.

00:28:36Guilt, the baby,

00:28:37the debt you owed me,

00:28:38but I...

00:28:38I destroyed everything

00:28:39with my own hands.

00:28:40The baby.

00:28:41Our baby.

00:28:43Are you done?

00:28:44We should go say goodbye

00:28:45to the conductor.

00:28:57I am honored

00:28:58by your invitation.

00:29:01Miss Sterling,

00:29:01congratulations on the

00:29:03huge success

00:29:03of your European tour.

00:29:04Many 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

00:29:10who helped me

00:29:11and 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

00:29:17when 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 possession.

00:29:25You mean...

00:29:26your marriage?

00:29:28Yes.

00:29:29A marriage built

00:29:30on enormous equality

00:29:31and lies.

00:29:32I was too young then,

00:29:33naive enough to believe

00:29:34talent and love

00:29:35could bridge anything.

00:29:36Then I was betrayed

00:29:37and I lost my child.

00:29:41That is...

00:29:41heartbreaking.

00:29:42I was lucky.

00:29:44After I escaped,

00:29:45I met people in Europe

00:29:46who truly respected

00:29:47art and human dignity.

00:29:48They gave me shelter

00:29:50and a stage

00:29:50and allowed me

00:29:51to live purely for music.

00:29:53So you see that unhappy marriage

00:29:54as the catalyst

00:29:55for your artistic transformation?

00:29:57It is part of my life

00:29:58that cannot be erased.

00:30:00I do not thank

00:30:00that experience

00:30:01but I thank the woman

00:30:02who crawled out of the rubbles.

00:30:04As for the other person

00:30:05in that marriage...

00:30:10my past

00:30:11and that name with 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 to

00:30:18have even the slightest connection

00:30:20with anyone

00:30:20from 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 to

00:30:27have even the slightest connection

00:30:29with anyone

00:30:29from that past again.

00:30:33Promise me

00:30:33we will not be apart

00:30:34for 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 each other

00:30:45we were supposed

00:30:46to be together forever?

00:30:52Thank you for driving me home, Julian.

00:30:54And thank you

00:30:54for tonight's performance.

00:30:55The honor was mine.

00:30:56Get some rest.

00:30:58Move.

00:30:59Chloe, please.

00:31:01Just five minutes.

00:31:02No, one minute.

00:31:03Let me say one thing.

00:31:04One 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.

00:31:13You are blocking my way.

00:31:15I said move.

00:31:16What?

00:31:17Chloe, I...

00:31:18I said move.

00:31:30Brody Cook.

00:31:31We need to talk.

00:31:32We need to talk.

00:31:32Name your price.

00:31:33Leave Chloe.

00:31:35Whatever resources,

00:31:36connections,

00:31:37channels you have,

00:31:38Sterling Group will double them.

00:31:39Alistair Sterling.

00:31:40You still think money

00:31:41fixes everything?

00:31:42She is not safe

00:31:43in her current situation.

00:31:45With me,

00:31:45she would have

00:31:46the best protection.

00:31:47Protection?

00:31:48Was 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 not

00:31:58have to wonder

00:31:58if the man beside her

00:31:59will send her to prison.

00:32:01Save it,

00:32:01Mr. Sterling.

00:32:02Your price cannot buy

00:32:03my conscience

00:32:04and it sure as hell

00:32:04cannot buy back

00:32:05her three years.

00:32:08He came to see me.

00:32:09Offered a blank check

00:32:10if 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.

00:32:17Three years ago

00:32:18he used the law as a chain,

00:32:19our child as Alvredge,

00:32:21and my life to buy

00:32:21another woman's freedom.

00:32:22What else can he possibly...

00:32:23Your reputation,

00:32:24your 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

00:32:28that can scare me.

00:32:38Happy anniversary,

00:32:39my wife.

00:32:47Claire,

00:32:48you look pale.

00:32:50I am fine.

00:32:51I did not sleep well last night.

00:32:52Do you need to postpone

00:32:53this afternoon's

00:32:54ensemble rehearsal?

00:32:55What date is it?

00:32:56October 19th.

00:32:58Of course.

00:32:59Five years ago today

00:33:00we were officially married.

00:33:02Why would Alistair

00:33:03send me this now?

00:33:04What the hell

00:33:04is he trying to do?

00:33:06Julian,

00:33:07if someone used a day

00:33:08you never wanted to remember

00:33:09to remind you

00:33:10how stupid you used to be,

00:33:11what would you do?

00:33:12I would tell myself

00:33:13that day is dead.

00:33:14Today is what survived.

00:33:15He is such a fool.

00:33:17He really thinks

00:33:17this random photo

00:33:18and blessing

00:33:19can patch over my scars.

00:33:20You still care about him,

00:33:21do you not?

00:33:27I just think he is stupid

00:33:28and I feel sorry

00:33:29for the person

00:33:30I used to be.

00:33:31It is over now.

00:33:32There 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

00:33:50through me first?

00:33:51The florist brought them

00:33:52straight to the backstage door.

00:33:53They said they were

00:33:53specifically 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

00:34:03they are almost impossible

00:34:04to grow

00:34:05and they bloom

00:34:05for only a moment.

00:34:06I guess they were

00:34:06never meant for me.

00:34:07Nothing is impossible

00:34:08for the Sterlings.

00:34:09Not if you want it.

00:34:10Forget it.

00:34:10Some things

00:34:11are just not meant to be like.

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

00:34:34you're okay?

00:34:35It's just a flower, Brody.

00:34:36I'm fine.

00:34:37Just drop it, will you?

00:34:40Chloe, you are

00:34:42the other half 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.

00:34:57Not 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,

00:35:14before he kissed me

00:35:15for the first time,

00:35:15that is exactly

00:35:16what he said.

00:35:17My other half of my soul.

00:35:18I am getting you time off.

00:35:20Go home and really...

00:35:22No, I'm in fine.

00:35:23You're sure?

00:35:24I am sure.

00:35:25The harder he tries

00:35:25to nail me to the past,

00:35:26the more I will make him see

00:35:27those memories

00:35:28cannot hurt me anymore.

00:35:29I will not drown in the past.

00:35:31Never.

00:35:34Miss Sterling,

00:35:35these are the records

00:35:35you requested.

00:35:36How bad was she

00:35:37when she was brought in?

00:35:38All of them.

00:35:38Extremely bad.

00:35:39The patient was already

00:35:40showing early signs

00:35:40of hemorrhagic shock.

00:35:41We recommended

00:35:42immediate surgery.

00:35:43It was the only way

00:35:43to try to save

00:35:44both mother and child.

00:35:44Why did you not insist?

00:35:46When you signed the form,

00:35:47you said as long as

00:35:48she could talk in authority

00:35:49to overturn the family's

00:35:50explicit instructions.

00:35:50If you had done

00:35:51the surgery,

00:35:52the baby...

00:35:52There would at least

00:35:53have been a chance,

00:35:53but after you refused,

00:35:54that child could not be saved.

00:35:55We later found the patient

00:35:56had 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

00:36:02cost the best

00:36:02intervention 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

00:36:12or if the bleeding

00:36:13had been slightly worse,

00:36:14we might not have

00:36:15saved the mother either.

00:36:17I killed that child.

00:36:18It was me.

00:36:19It was all me.

00:36:21I killed Chloe's

00:36:23and my baby

00:36:24with my own hands,

00:36:25all for Victoria.

00:36:30At 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.

00:36:36Her hands were shaking.

00:36:38She could not write.

00:36:39Blood soaked the paper.

00:36:42At 10.50,

00:36:43she finished signing.

00:36:44I called.

00:36:45Then I waited.

00:36:4747 minutes.

00:36:49After I hung up,

00:36:50I did not call again.

00:36:56Alistair,

00:36:57I'm pregnant.

00:36:59It's your name.

00:37:00Please take me

00:37:01to the hospital.

00:37:02Now is not the time

00:37:03for 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

00:37:11immediately.

00:37:13You still want me

00:37:14to sign?

00:37:15The accident

00:37:15for this is already open.

00:37:17Victoria did not go to prison.

00:37:18Take the fall first,

00:37:20and I'll cover everything.

00:37:21The bail,

00:37:21the lawyers,

00:37:22the hospital.

00:37:23If you don't sign,

00:37:24no one is coming

00:37:25for you tonight,

00:37:26and the hospital

00:37:27won't prioritize you.

00:37:28The doctor said surgery.

00:37:30I said no.

00:37:32Too 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,

00:37:43we can have other children

00:37:44with us.

00:37:46But Victoria's reputation

00:37:47is vital to her.

00:37:49She cannot have

00:37:49a criminal record.

00:37:52I chose it.

00:37:53No ambulance,

00:37:54no surgery.

00:37:55She had to sign first.

00:38:03Even the fall

00:38:04that sent her

00:38:04to the hospital,

00:38:07that was because

00:38:07of me, too.

00:38:09Chloe,

00:38:09don't push me.

00:38:10Once you leave your print,

00:38:11this all ends tonight.

00:38:16Let go!

00:38:17You're hurting me!

00:38:22What?

00:38:24Every step

00:38:25was me.

00:38:26It was her.

00:38:27She was driving.

00:38:29She killed that person.

00:38:31She begged me

00:38:32to save her.

00:38:33Yes!

00:38:33It was her!

00:38:34She drove a wedge

00:38:35between us.

00:38:35She nailed in front of me

00:38:36saying her career,

00:38:37her name,

00:38:37her future were over.

00:38:38She cried that only

00:38:39Chloe could 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,

00:38:44enter his office.

00:38:46I sit on his sofa,

00:38:47and he pours

00:38:48my drinks himself.

00:38:52Exactly.

00:38:52If it were not

00:38:53for Victoria,

00:38:54why would Chloe

00:38:54have been pushed that far?

00:38:56Why would I have

00:38:56forced Chloe?

00:38:57Why would I have

00:38:57lost 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!

00:39:08Mr. Sterling was

00:39:09so easy to fool.

00:39:10One perfectly staged

00:39:11elevator malfunction,

00:39:12one perfectly timed

00:39:13twisted ankle,

00:39:14and he believed

00:39:15I was his destined

00:39:16soulmate.

00:39:17That old money type

00:39:17is arrogant

00:39:18and naive to the bone.

00:39:19I played the independent

00:39:20self-made woman

00:39:21for him all these years

00:39:22for exactly this.

00:39:23Sooner or later,

00:39:24every Sterling group asset

00:39:25will carry the Thorn name.

00:39:27As for the baby,

00:39:29losing that common

00:39:29girl's child

00:39:30was good for me.

00:39:31An heir with ordinary

00:39:32blood would 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.

00:39:43No!

00:39:44I love you!

00:39:45Everything I did

00:39:46was for us!

00:39:47That Chloe never deserved you!

00:39:48She only dragged you...

00:39:50You.

00:39:51You built our beginning

00:39:52on lies.

00:39:53You schemed to tear

00:39:55Chloe and me apart.

00:39:56You...

00:39:56You killed my child!

00:39:59You drove her away!

00:40:00This is all your fault!

00:40:02There has to be

00:40:02a misunderstanding.

00:40:03I can explain...

00:40:04Save your explanation

00:40:05for the feds.

00:40:07You are turning me

00:40:09over to the Bureau?

00:40:20For three years,

00:40:21you used my trust

00:40:23to move assets,

00:40:24forge documents,

00:40:26and frame Chloe.

00:40:28Any one of those

00:40:29could put you

00:40:30in federal prison

00:40:31for decades.

00:40:34Alistair,

00:40:34what are you talking about?

00:40:38The Bureau's

00:40:39preliminary evidence list.

00:40:41Your lawyer will receive

00:40:42official notice tomorrow.

00:40:44No!

00:40:44Alistair,

00:40:45you cannot do this to me!

00:40:46I love you!

00:40:48Everything I did

00:40:49was for you!

00:40:50We can explain!

00:40:51We can...

00:40:51Explain?

00:40:52To whom?

00:40:53To the child

00:40:53you helped kill?

00:40:55The baby!

00:40:56The baby was an accident!

00:40:58Chloe's body was weak!

00:41:00An accident?

00:41:02That night,

00:41:03you told me

00:41:03that once Chloe signed,

00:41:05everything would be fine.

00:41:06You said,

00:41:07there was still time.

00:41:09And you believed

00:41:09whatever I said?

00:41:11Alistair,

00:41:11you were the one

00:41:12who did not want

00:41:12to call that ambulance.

00:41:14You were afraid

00:41:15she would back out,

00:41:16afraid she would run,

00:41:18afraid your perfect

00:41:18scapegoat would disappear.

00:41:21You pushed me to delay.

00:41:24You handed her the papers.

00:41:26You set the terms.

00:41:28You forced her to sign.

00:41:30You just do not want

00:41:31to admit that

00:41:31from start to finish,

00:41:32the person who most

00:41:33wanted her to take

00:41:33the fall was you.

00:41:34Me?

00:41:36I only said

00:41:36the filthy little thought

00:41:37already sitting in your head.

00:41:40Alistair,

00:41:41the person who killed

00:41:41your child was not me.

00:41:43It was you.

00:41:47Do you know what happened?

00:41:50That night,

00:41:51I came to you crying

00:41:52because I was scared.

00:41:54Alistair, help me!

00:41:55I hit someone!

00:41:57That person,

00:41:58that person is not moving!

00:42:00I did not mean to!

00:42:01The road was too dark!

00:42:03Who was the victim?

00:42:04Any witnesses?

00:42:06I do not know.

00:42:07Maybe a homeless man?

00:42:08I think...

00:42:09I do not think anyone saw.

00:42:11Victoria,

00:42:11you know what that means.

00:42:13Vehicular manslaughter,

00:42:15a federal felony,

00:42:16your career,

00:42:16your reputation,

00:42:17everything is over.

00:42:19Please.

00:42:20I know you have a way.

00:42:21You know so many people.

00:42:25Are you sure you left no evidence

00:42:27that could be traced back to you?

00:42:29I am sure.

00:42:29I already got rid of the car

00:42:31and there are no cameras

00:42:32on that road.

00:42:33We need a scapegoat.

00:42:35Someone important enough

00:42:36and controllable enough.

00:42:40What?

00:42:41Chloe.

00:42:42No.

00:42:43That 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

00:42:58on me, Alistair.

00:43:00You sent your wife

00:43:01to hell with your own hands.

00:43:16I can carry it myself.

00:43:19It is windy today.

00:43:23Coffee after rehearsal?

00:43:25That new place you wanted to try

00:43:26with the chestnut cake?

00:43:27Yeah.

00:43:29She smiled.

00:43:30In a world without me,

00:43:34she is so alive.

00:43:44What is it?

00:43:45Nothing.

00:43:56Chloe.

00:43:59Yes?

00:43:59There is something I have wanted

00:44:01to say for a long time.

00:44:02These three years,

00:44:03watching you rise from the wreckage

00:44:04and walk into the spotlight

00:44:05has been the greatest honor

00:44:06of my life.

00:44:07I admire your talent

00:44:08and 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

00:44:13in the future,

00:44:14not only as your patron

00:44:15and friend.

00:44:17Did you...

00:44:18give me a chance?

00:44:24Julian, you are my dearest friend

00:44:27and the person I am most grateful to.

00:44:29Without you,

00:44:29I would not be who I am today.

00:44:31But my heart is a ruin.

00:44:34Nothing new grows there

00:44:35and no one deserves to step inside it again.

00:44:38I understand.

00:44:39Thank you for understanding.

00:44:41We can still be friends, right?

00:44:42Of course.

00:44:44Let us go try that chestnut cake.

00:44:52Sir, 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.

00:45:01Organizers recently confirmed

00:45:02that the stage build

00:45:03and lighting work

00:45:04will be handled by local contractor

00:45:06Pinnacle Vision.

00:45:07Run that contractor.

00:45:08Pinnacle Vision,

00:45:09I want every background check

00:45:10and safety record.

00:45:14Found it.

00:45:16This company

00:45:17has 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?

00:45:31Cancel the flight.

00:45:33But the 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

00:45:40who needs someone watching over her.

00:45:43Without me,

00:45:43she cannot even protect herself.

00:45:45Chloe,

00:45:46please do not let anything happen to you.

00:45:58Chloe,

00:46:00move!

00:46:01It is dangerous!

00:46:03No!

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!

00:46:40Are you hurt?

00:46:44Why 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.

00:47:08As long as you are safe.

00:47:10I 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,

00:47:19it was too late.

00:47:20I could only...

00:47:22run...

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.

00:47:47I waited 47 minutes.

00:47:49The doctor said I signed a consent

00:47:51for 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.

00:48:02Shut up!

00:48:05What is the point

00:48:06of saying this now?

00:48:07There is no point.

00:48:09None at all.

00:48:13I just wanted Chloe

00:48:15to know Alistair

00:48:15found out everything.

00:48:17Victoria,

00:48:18the accident,

00:48:19and...

00:48:20Alistair's own choices.

00:48:22Alistair was the source.

00:48:23My existence

00:48:23is 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.

00:48:30So?

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

00:48:48we will not be apart

00:48:48for a hundred years.

00:48:51Not a hundred years.

00:48:53Forever, Chloe.

00:48:56Forever.

00:48:59Chloe, forgive me

00:48:59for being reckless,

00:49:01but I cannot fight

00:49:02this 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.

00:49:07How could I ever be worthy of...

00:49:08Do not ever say that

00:49:09about yourself.

00:49:10To me,

00:49:10you are the most beautiful,

00:49:11purest woman in the world.

00:49:12You deserve everything.

00:49:18Alistair.

00:49:20Good.

00:49:21Go.

00:49:22Go.

00:49:25Go.

00:49:26Go.

00:49:26It is over.

00:49:31Sir, please reconsider.

00:49:32These assets are to shake

00:49:33the entire industry,

00:49:34especially the family fund

00:49:35and Kurgutra

00:49:36and years of your life's work.

00:49:37I know.

00:49:37This is not just wealth.

00:49:39It is all your power

00:49:40and protection.

00:49:41Once you sign,

00:49:41there is no going back.

00:49:43Begin.

00:49:48The irreversible trust

00:49:49naming Miss Chloe Stangling

00:49:50as sole beneficiary

00:49:51is now officially in effect.

00:49:53It covers all equity,

00:49:55real estate,

00:49:56liquid assets,

00:49:56liquid assets

00:49:57and family fund interests

00:49:59This is the copy.

00:50:00According 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.

00:50:23Chloe, this is the only thing

00:50:25I can still give you.

00:50:41Claire, your playing

00:50:43was so beautiful.

00:50:44I want to be a cellist

00:50:46like you someday.

00:50:50Thank you, sweetheart.

00:50:51I love them.

00:50:53When you bowed just now,

00:50:54you kept looking over there.

00:50:56Was your music

00:50:57for someone who sat there?

00:50:58Like in a story?

00:51:09No, 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

00:51:23anonymously this morning.

00:51:24It is a family trust

00:51:27beneficiary transfer

00:51:28worth hundreds of billions.

00:51:30You are named

00:51:31the sole beneficiary.

00:51:36It is Alistair.

00:51:37Tell them I refuse.

00:51:39Chloe, do you understand

00:51:40what this means?

00:51:41An astronomical fortune

00:51:43and in 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

00:51:53on a life with...

00:51:54Putting a price tag

00:51:55on a life with money?

00:51:56Alistair, you really

00:51:58have not changed.

00:51:59Send it back untouched.

00:52:01I do not need anything

00:52:02from him

00:52:03and I do not need

00:52:04to leave him any message.

00:52:17Who happened to tell her?

00:52:19How dare they?

00:52:22Right.

00:52:23Even the last thing,

00:52:24she does not want it.

00:52:28Sir, we have news

00:52:29from the Federal side.

00:52:30Miss Victoria

00:52:30has been released on bail.

00:52:31I am worried she will...

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.

00:53:10This is not a prank, Chloe.

00:53:12This is dangerous.

00:53:14You cannot be alone.

00:53:15I am taking you home.

00:53:16I am fine.

00:53:17You have been busy lately

00:53:19and I have already

00:53:20caused you enough trouble.

00:53:22Call me if anything happens.

00:53:26I will.

00:53:26I am fine.

00:53:27I am fine.

00:53:31I am fine.

00:53:57Do not move.

00:53:58We only want your hand.

00:54:05How much did Victoria pay you?

00:54:06I will double it!

00:54:09Save it, Mrs. Sterling.

00:54:10We 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.

00:54:34Why did you come back?

00:54:36How did this happen?

00:54:38Do not scare me like this.

00:54:40You are safe.

00:54:41Thank God, you are safe.

00:54:56Are you okay?

00:54:57Did they hurt your hand?

00:55:02I need to report a crime.

00:55:04South parking lot of the Vienna Concert Hall.

00:55:06Armed assault.

00:55:07Attempted intentional injury.

00:55:08The suspect is restrained.

00:55:10Also, this involves cross-border crime and a federal felony scapegoating case in New York

00:55:13from 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.

00:55:33Chloe is going to be okay.

00:55:42Doctor, how is he?

00:55:51The patient has lost too much blood.

00:55:53His 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.

00:56:04His 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.

00:56:14What?

00:56:15Do you hear yourself?

00:56:17You are going to save him?

00:56:19The man who nearly destroyed you?

00:56:21Anonymous.

00:56:22Do not record my name.

00:56:24Draw the blood, and I leave immediately.

00:56:27If you agree, I will sign now.

00:56:30All right.

00:56:30Please sign the confidentiality agreement and consent form here.

00:56:35She 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.

00:57:02The stab wound is deep, and he lost a lot of blood.

00:57:05We saved him, but whether he wakes up, and when, depends on his will and recovery.

00:57:09The next 24 hours are critical.

00:57:11Wake up.

00:57:12You think taking that knife and bleeding like this makes us even?

00:57:15You think because you are lying here, I can forget my child?

00:57:18Forget every time you abandoned me for Victoria?

00:57:21I cannot forget.

00:57:22I cannot forget when the doctor told me the baby was gone, your signature was at the bottom

00:57:26of that document.

00:57:28So cold.

00:57:29So quick.

00:57:30What is this, you lying here?

00:57:32Repentance?

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

00:57:45stand 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.

00:57:53You still owe me too much.

00:57:59You have to wake up.

00:58:02Alistairn, you heard me.

00:58:04You are awake, are you not?

00:58:05Alistairn!

00:58:09Direct flight to Zurich.

00:58:11Leaves in two hours.

00:58:11The 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.

00:58:21Federal felony?

00:58:22Multiple charges, including attempted murder, cross-border murder for here, and financial

00:58:26fraud.

00:58:27With stacked sentences, she is never getting out.

00:58:29Got it.

00:58:30That is your reaction?

00:58:31She almost ruined your life and-

00:58:33Kate takes energy.

00:58:33I do not have any left, and I do not want to waste it here.

00:58:41You could even save her.

00:58:44I saved myself.

00:58:46From 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.

00:59:16This is a hospital.

00:59:18Why am I in a hospital?

00:59:22Mr. Sterling, please do not move.

00:59:25I 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?

01:00:09I really do not know.

01:00:11No.

01:00:12What is this feeling?

01:00:13It feels like I lost her.

01:00:15What the hell happened?

01:00:16What the hell happened?

01:00:21Victoria already said she 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.

01:00:29Allison, you know that better than anyone.

01:00:31Hard work?

01:00:33Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?

01:00:35This score?

01:00:36Or the status you built using it as a prop?

01:00:38A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate.

01:00:44Who are you trying to impress with this wrong woman addict?

01:00:48Didn'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?

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 axis, we can have other children in here.

01:01:07Why are these memories flooding my head?

01:01:10Where is Chloe?

01:01:11Chloe, what 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...

01:01:28Please lie down first.

01:01:30I will get the doctor.

01:01:40The wound is healing well.

01:01:42No sign of infection.

01:01:44But the blood loss left you very weak.

01:01:46You need time to recover.

01:01:47Blood loss?

01:01:48Yes.

01:01:49When you were admitted, your condition was critical.

01:01:51Acute massive bleeding, hemogyme at a dangerous level.

01:01:53We performed an emergency transfusion.

01:01:55You were lucky.

01:01:56Someone volunteered to donate blood and saved your life.

01:01:59Who?

01:02:00I am sorry, Mr. Sterling.

01:02:02The donor signed a strict confidentiality agreement.

01:02:04We are not authorized to disclose that.

01:02:10Allison, look!

01:02:11We have the same blood type.

01:02:12What are the odds?

01:02:13It is rare.

01:02:14The odds feel like fate.

01:02:16So if anything ever happens to either of us, the other can be their blood bank, right?

01:02:20I do not say unlucky things, but yes, I will protect you any way I can.

01:02:27Chloe was here.

01:02:28Was Chloe not the donor?

01:02:30Was it Chloe?

01:02:31I cannot answer questions about visitors.

01:02:33You 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, there is an update on Ms. Thorne.

01:02:53The extradition process is complete.

01:02:55She was put on a flight back to New 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,

01:03:06Chloe boarded a flight and left destination Zurich.

01:03:09Mr. Brody Cookup, Chloe's manager, Pumbrick released her leg of Chloe's Odo tour schedule.

01:03:12That afternoon?

01:03:13Yes.

01:03:14Flight records show takeoff at 4.15pm.

01:03:17She 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.

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.

01:03:34She 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.

01:03:48We cannot confirm.

01:03:49I can feel it.

01:03:51My body knows her blood.

01:03:53No 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.

01:04:06Who is this?

01:04:07Mr. Cook, hello.

01:04:08This is David, Mr. Sterling's assistant.

01:04:09Mr. Sterling would like to speak with Mrs. Sterling.

01:04:11Ms. 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.

01:04:20That bag of blood.

01:04:21I 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.

01:04:46Do 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.

01:04:54I'm not going anywhere.

01:04:56Brody, 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.

01:05:13We are even.

01:05:14We 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.

01:05:25You keep saying you want to protect me.

01:05:27But when my manuscript was destroyed, what did you do?

01:05:30When my baby was gone, what did you do?

01:05:32I...

01:05:33And now you want to stay by my side?

01:05:35Too late.

01:05:37Way too late.

01:05:39Do 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.

01:06:02Please.

01:06:03Give 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 recharges for crimes

01:06:18I jetives, I never committed.

01:06:21Who gave me a chance?

01:06:22I know I was wrong.

01:06:24I 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?

01:06:31Can 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?

01:06:50Let me take you to...

01:06:53No, no.

01:06:55Chloe...

01:07:04Sir, you are awake.

01:07:06You 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.

01:07:17Where 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.

01:07:25Now.

01:07:26But your body...

01:07:27I said, now!

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.

01:07:45I 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.

01:08:01You let him stand beside you.

01:08:03Then what am I?

01:08:11The blood?

01:08:12Chloe.

01:08:13Wait.

01:08:14The blood that saved my life?

01:08:16Was 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.

01:08:33It is not a debt.

01:08:35I owe you and I can never repay it.

01:08:37It is a debt.

01:08:37It is paid.

01:08:39From now on, your blood, your wounds.

01:08:42Whether you live or die.

01:08:43None of it has anything to do with me.

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.

01:08:53Let us go in.

01:09:09Oh, no.

01:09:10What is it?

01:09:12God, no.

01:09:13That is impossible.

01:09:15This...

01:09:16How could this string...

01:09:17I checked it yesterday.

01:09:19It was fine.

01:09:20And Chloe are always so careful.

01:09:22Accidents happen.

01:09:23It is not a big deal.

01:09:24Where are the spare strings?

01:09:26Did you bring an extra string?

01:09:29Here, here.

01:09:30I packed an extra set on purpose.

01:09:32It is stanchionalee and then...

01:09:33When that...

01:09:34This...

01:09:35This 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?

01:09:45The car broke down?

01:09:46Did you not guarantee it would be on time tomorrow morning at the earliest?

01:09:49Shit!

01:09:50I contacted a friend in Berlin.

01:09:51His workshop has strings in the same gauge, but driving them here will take at least four

01:09:55hours.

01:09:56Not enough time.

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.

01:10:13The 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.

01:10:22Backstage matters are not disclosed to unrelated people.

01:10:26Now tell me exactly what happened.

01:10:28It is Mrs. Claire, the principal cellist.

01:10:31Her main string slapped her in 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.

01:10:41Of 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.

01:10:55Send 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.

01:11:06Chloe, 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.

01:11:30Julian 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, three years ago I lay in the hospital waiting for a consent form 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.

01:11:53It is the same.

01:11:54You always want to solve my problems your way.

01:11:56Then you tell me how much you sacrificed.

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, a photograph of Mr. Sterling here two mornings ago in Wandering, and he had contact with Miss Chloe.

01:12:30Does this mean Mr. Sterling is trying to win her back?

01:12:32Mr. 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.

01:13:08Chloe!

01:13:10I 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 some 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.

01:14:23You should be gone now.

01:14:47You should go to the hospital.

01:14:50I just do not want tomorrow's headline to say

01:14:52former 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 check 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 why 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 replay in my head every day.

01:15:21Then let them keep playing.

01:15:22That 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.

01:15:27I am not going.

01:15:29Treat 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?

01:15:59Your 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.

01:16:12You 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.

01:16:23Let 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.

01:17:02I said put the knife down!

01:17:03Is this life enough to pay?

01:17:08Put the knife down.

01:17:09Say it first.

01:17:11Is it enough?

01:17:12I 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,

01:17:25he 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.

01:17:39What did you say?

01:17:45I forgive you.

01:17:46No.

01:17:48Chloe, do not.

01:17:49Do not forgive me.

01:17:51I do not deserve it.

01:17:52It is not for you.

01:17:53It is for me.

01:17:55I have to move forward.

01:17:56Move forward.

01:17:57Good.

01:17:59You go.

01:18:00Do not look back.

01:18:02But do not forgive me.

01:18:03Please.

01:18:03The 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.

01:18:23Chloe.

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.

01:18:41Chiloui.

01:18:42What?

01:18:44Chiloui.

01:18:54Sir, you are awake.

01:18:56The 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...

01:19:09Let go.

01:19:23Ashes should look like ashes.

01:19:29They adjusted the sound post overnight.

01:19:32Want to try it?

01:19:36It is quiet.

01:19:38More reliable than people.

01:19:45Time to go stage.

01:20:10The strings will never tremble to the lies again.

01:20:13This first note is both a funeral and a relook.

01:20:15Every 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 prove in the ashes.

01:20:33There is no going back.

01:20:38Look, Alistair.

01:20:39Without you, I still stand in the light.

01:20:42Without you, I still stand in the light.

01:20:42And this light will never shine for you.

01:20:45Am I imagining 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...

01:21:09I brought them myself.

01:21:11White lilies of the valley.

01:21:12We had a pot on the balcony of the New York apartment.

01:21:15It died.

01:21:18They are beautiful.

01:21:19I will keep them.

01:21:20From a fan?

01:21:22Let me check them.

01:21:23No need.

01:21:24You 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.

01:21:43Go buy yourself some candy.

01:21:45Thank you, sir.

01:21:56Mr. Sterling, at the current rate of progression, a 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, after taxes and fees, will be transferred to the anonymous donor X

01:22:14account,

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.

01:22:27Mr. Sterling, please take care.

01:22:59Excuse me, sir.

01:23:01Could you tell me, is this the right direction to the Julie Hart School?

01:23:05Wrong side.

01:23:06Across the platform.

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

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

01:23:28It's not the wrong way.

01:23:30We both went the wrong way.

01:23:33I was blown away.

01:23:36He's blown away.

01:23:37He's blown away.

01:23:38I was oh, I'm lost.

01:23:38I'm dead.

01:23:40Am there.

01:23:40He's been a bad story in the movie.

01:23:41I don't care.
