00:27Antivenom
00:30Your parents get bitten and you come to me to suck me dry
00:34Dream on
00:35I watched the red light outside the ER go off
00:38Logan's whole family died because they didn't get the antivenom
00:41Then Rogan actually texted
00:44Your parents bodies can be sent to my company as live test objects for toxicity trials
00:49At least they'd be making a contribution to science
00:52So he thought the dead people were my parents
00:54Alright as you wish I'll deliver them to you myself, intact
01:00Logan, my parents were bitten by the snakes too
01:03Can you give them the antivenom?
01:07Of course my princess
01:10Darling, I want to reward you
01:18Several venomous snakes appeared at the same time in a residential building
01:21And she realized this was no accident
01:24Hello, I'd like to report a crime
01:27Ms. Land, this yellow green rattlesnake is almost extinct in the country
01:30But that didn't stop someone from buying them in bulk on the dark web
01:34The delivery address was a shell company
01:36But the credit card linked to the transaction belongs to Scarlett Reed's father
01:41Scarlett's parents intended to get revenge on a neighbor
01:43They bought the snakes online and released them
01:45Instead they accidentally killed Logan's entire family
01:47They were also bitten, they're still in the hospital recovering
01:50We can't interrogate them yet
01:52Their venom has already been treated
01:54You can interrogate them now
01:55Don't worry, we will find out the truth
01:58And we will get you justice
01:59The cold white fluorescent lights made the morgue a pale white
02:02I placed the divorce agreement under the consent form
02:04Then, I turned around and walked in with walks in his arms
02:06A smug smile on his face
02:07Well, well, you're actually being reasonable today
02:09Finally figured out who runs this house?
02:11I didn't speak, I just handed him the document
02:12Logan didn't even glance at it
02:16Thank you
02:21What are you doing? Stop it!
02:23Logan ignored my protest and kicked his father again
02:26The bodies belong to my company now
02:28You have no say
02:29Back when I begged your father to let you marry me
02:31He stomped me into the ground
02:33He deserved to be poisoned
02:34This time the body tumbled off the gurney
02:35Crashing heavily onto the cold tiled floor
02:40Dad?
02:41He deserved to be poisoned
02:42He deserves to be a live test subject for toxicity trials
02:45I hurried over to steady the gurney
02:47But the moment I drew near, Logan lifted his foot
02:50And kicked his mother's gurney hard
02:52Oh!
02:55And your mother!
02:56Wasn't I good enough to her?
02:58Every time we fought, she told you to divorce me
03:00They are your father and your mother
03:03Not mine!
03:04I froze where I stood
03:05Unable to bear the sight any longer
03:07I couldn't let him keep deserating the bodies
03:08You're lying
03:09Uncle and Auntie were fine at home
03:11My parents were bitten yesterday while hiking
03:13But Uncle and Auntie never even left the house
03:15Are you sure your parents were bitten while hiking?
03:18Of course!
03:19How dare you suspect Scarlet?
03:21Just lift the sheet and see for yourself
03:26There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes
03:29As if resisting something
03:31But also as if being driven by some invisible force
03:39No! No!
03:42A familiar figure appeared at the door
03:46Mrs. Scarlet, you're involved
03:48Please come with us
03:52S-Scarlet
03:53You
03:58Give my parents
03:59A grand funeral
04:01I want them to leave with dignity
04:03A funeral?
04:04Didn't you say they had it coming?
04:06And that their best use was as carvers for dissection?
04:08I already delivered them for you
04:10And now you're changing your mind
04:12What a headache
04:15Are you even human?
04:16My parents are already dead
04:17And you won't even let them rest in peace
04:19So you know it's not human
04:21Funny
04:22That's exactly what you said to me
04:23I'm just returning the favor
04:25Can't take it?
04:27I'm already like this
04:28And you still want to provoke me?
04:30Are you trying to kill me?
04:31Eleanor doesn't answer
04:33She turns and leaves the ward
04:34She no longer felt any attachment to this home
04:37Yet the instant she opened the safe in Logan's study
04:39Her fingers paused
04:40Eric Land
04:41Look sis, this is what science is for
04:44Can't bring back the dead
04:46But it can help fewer living people die
04:47Mom, let me continue Eric's legacy
04:50I'll make his research benefit the whole world
04:54This isn't entrepreneurship
04:56This is thief
04:57Eric, this time your sister won't let you be wronged
05:00What they stole
05:01I'll take back with my own hands
05:05Whatever he owes you
05:06I'll make him pay back double
05:06Eleanor
05:07I've thought a lot
05:08I'm sorry
05:10For the sake of what we had
05:12Scarlet fooled me
05:12Can you give me one more chance?
05:14From the second you insulted me to per Scarlet
05:17You became a dead man to me
05:18We're getting divorced
05:19Touch me again
05:19And I'm calling the cops
05:21Ha! I knew it
05:23You're the one pulling the strings behind this
05:24You made Logan sue my parents didn't you?
05:26You toxic bitch!
05:27I'm here as a witness
05:28For justice for the people who died
05:30No way!
05:31Not a single one of your family is innocent
05:35You killed my parents
05:37I'll make you pay with blood
05:39Does the defense have anything further to state?
05:44Logan, I'm pregnant
05:47Court is now back in session
05:49Your Honor, given the defendant Scarlet Reed's current physical condition
05:52Early pregnancy, emotional instability
05:54The defense requests a postponement and a reconsideration
05:57May I say a few words?
05:58The witness may speak
05:591. Under state law, pregnancy is not a legal ground for bail
06:03The defendant is charged with involuntary manslaughter resulting in multiple deaths
06:08And aiding in the concealment of a crime, both are non-bailable felonies
06:112. Pregnancy is not an illness
06:14If she can present a pregnancy test in court, she can stand trial in court
06:18If the defendant is ultimately convicted, any child born while she is incarcerated shall under state law
06:24Be automatically transferred to a social service agency for foster placement
06:29You will give birth to this child in prison
06:33And within 24 hours, hours
06:35You will watch him get taken away
06:40Does the defense have anything further?
06:43Finally, everything is over
06:45And everyone will have to pay for what they have done
06:47Next, it's Logan's turn
06:50We were still married at the time
06:52That money was marital property
06:53Half of it was mine
06:54Logan, desperate to make up for his mistakes, handed over all the transfer records
06:58My brother, Eric Land, had been a world-renowned toxigen his entire life to the study of snake antivenoms
07:04Five years ago, he died in a lab accident
07:06He left behind years of unpublished research
07:09Broad-spectrum antivenom
07:1191.3% success rate in animal trials
07:13Sis, it's almost there
07:15Soon we'll be able to save lives
07:26You're going to destroy me? The company is my life's work
07:29Your life's work? That was the research results my brother paid for with his life
07:32You stole a dead man's work to fund your mistress and now you want to talk to me about hard
07:36work?
07:37How... how much do you know?
07:39A hell of a lot more than you think
07:40The investigation is already on its way
07:42The evidence of Thorn Biotech's unauthorized human trials
07:45Will come to light soon
07:47Logan, you stole my brother's work
07:50You spent my family's money
07:52You killed your own family
07:55All of this, you did it to yourself
07:59The defendant's Mr. and Mrs. Reed
08:01Guilty as charged
08:03Sentenced to life imprisonment
08:05The defendant, Scarlett Reed
08:07Guilty of aiding in the concealment of a crime
08:10Sentenced to five years in prison
08:12And ordered to pay back $3 million
08:14Regarding the case of Land v. Thorn Biotech
08:17The defendant, Logan Thorn
08:19Constituting intellectual property theft and business fraud
08:21Guilty as charged
08:22The defendant is ordered to pay the plaintiff
08:24All illegal profits plus punitive damages totaling $12 million
08:28All assets frozen and ordered to be liquidated
08:30The investigation was clear
08:32Scarlett's parents bought venomous snakes to get revenge on a neighbor
08:35They accidentally killed Logan's family
08:37And Scarlett deleted my emergency messages so her parents could get the anti-venom first
08:47James
08:48Yeah
08:49Thank you
08:55The lab was buzzing with researchers hard at work
08:58Eleanor outside the glass door, watching it all
09:00Her expression was complex, a mix of relief and nostalgia
09:03Her brother's researchers had
09:05Eleanor, if Eric knew his work was back on the right path, he'd be proud
09:09Eleanor didn't answer
09:10She thought of the last time she saw her brother
09:14Look sis, this is what science is for
09:17It can't bring back the dead, but it can help fewer living people die
09:20I just did what I could
09:22That's enough
09:24Most people, won't even do what they can
09:27Later, it was said that Logan went to Las Vegas
09:30He dreamed of getting rich overnight and making a comeback
09:33But he was no longer the tech wunderkind he once was
09:36He gambled away the last of his savings
09:38Ran up a huge gambling debt
09:40Debt collectors came knocking
09:41They took one of his kidneys
09:43No one came to claim his body
09:45That once glamorous man ended up with no one to see him off
09:49Scarlett gave birth to Logan's child inside the prison medical center
09:52The baby was handed over to social services by law
09:55Later, she killed herself with a sharpened toothbrush
09:58When guards found her, she lay in blood
10:00Clutching the newborn's photo
10:05Mrs. Land, there's a visitor here
10:06He says he's a lawyer introduced by Detective James Hawk
10:10Here to discuss international patent registration
10:13Send him in
10:15The lawyer couldn't make it at the last minute
10:17So I had to come myself
10:19And while I'm here, I wanted to see how that woman
10:22With the surgeon's steady hands when signing death certificates
10:24Is doing these days
10:25Eleanor looked at him and the sunflowers
10:27She couldn't help but smile
10:29It was the first time in months that she had smiled from the heart
10:32The sunflowers gleamed golden in the sunlight
10:34James watched Eleanor smiling
10:36And there was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes
10:39Not bad, just busy
10:40I just funded three new projects
10:42And I have to go to Switzerland for a toxicology conference
10:46Switzerland? What a coincidence
10:47I happen to have some vacation time coming up
10:50I hear the Alps are beautiful this time of year
10:52Detective James Hawk
10:54Are you asking me out?
10:57And if I said yes?
10:59Then I might consider it
11:02Then I'll wait for your good news
11:04After James left, I thought about it carefully
11:06It was time to move on
11:08The sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the sunflowers on my desk
11:12Golden, like a brand new beginning
11:15Eleanor didn't say yes to James directly
11:16Not because she didn't want to
11:18But because she needed time
11:20Her past marriage had taught her that hasty decisions often lead to long-term pain
11:25Go, you deserve a break
11:27Don't worry about the foundation
11:29We've got it covered
11:30Eleanor took out her younger brother's old photos
11:32The last one was taken a week before he passed away
11:35Sister look, this direction is right
11:38Your sister is going to Switzerland
11:39This time not for anyone else, for myself
11:42James had sent her travel guides to Switzerland
11:44Mountains, lakes, small towns
11:46You can go anywhere you want
11:49In the chat log, their conversation had taken on of lightness and smiles
11:54I've seen the worst of human nature and the best
11:58But people like you, who can go through so much and still stand up and keep moving forward, there aren't
12:03many
12:06Eleanor
12:07Hmm?
12:08You don't have to carry everything alone
12:10I know you're strong
12:13But, being strong doesn't mean you can't lean on anyone
12:17You can lean on me
12:19The alpine sunset took its time
12:22As if it understood
12:25The road ahead, she would no longer walk it alone
12:28By then, thousands of people will be saved because of this
12:31This isn't just your brother's wish
12:34It's also your own achievement
12:35I just did what I could
12:37That's enough, James continued to work at the police station
12:41But their paths crossed more and more often
12:43Sometimes he came to the foundation to see her, bringing a cup of coffee
12:47Sometimes she went to the restaurant near his palatine to wait for him to get off hearts
12:51This was not just ordinary friendship
12:53Eric was right
12:54Help fewer living people die
12:56The meaning of science is to help fewer living people die
12:59And the meaning of love
13:02Has probably helped the ones who are worth it live well
13:04Come in!
13:06Not busy today?
13:07You know I don't like wasting time
13:09Not in business, and certainly not with you
13:11I'm asking you to marry me
13:13So, Miss Eleanor, what's your answer?
13:19I do
13:20To be continued...
13:20To be continued...
