00:03Five years married to Lawrence, and finally, I'm finally carrying our child.
00:11Serafina, happy anniversary, I got you something!
00:17Oh, Vivian, that's so sweet of you, thank you!
00:29Serafina, my sweetheart, do you like my gift for you? Today is the day you die.
00:35What?
00:36Vivian, for past 30 years, I gave you everything. Your job, your apartment, even the dress you're wearing, but why?
00:42Shut up! I never wanted your charity!
00:45Everything you gave me was just you reminding me I wasn't good enough!
00:49The only way I get my life back is if you're gone!
00:53If I'd known that's how you saw it, I'd have given it all to a stranger!
00:56At least they'd say thank you!
00:58Lawrence, help me! Please!
01:06Good work, babe.
01:13You're both in on this! I trusted you most! How could you?
01:20Honey, the saint group is mine, but only once you're gone.
01:26Everything I had, the company, my heart, it was all for you.
01:31I even had the share transfer agreement ready for you as my second gift.
01:35But you, you were waiting for me to die.
01:38I-
01:40I-
01:41I-
01:48Woohoo!
01:51Goodbye, sir.
02:02I'm sorry, sir. This is all we recovered.
02:04Given the crocodiles in the lake, there's not much chance she made it.
02:07I don't think there's anything left to recover.
02:08No!
02:10Serafina!
02:11I should have been there!
02:13I knew how bad her depression was, and I did nothing!
02:16It should have been me!
02:18How could you leave us?
02:21Young, beautiful heiress to a whole empire, and she just throws herself in a lake.
02:26What a tragedy.
02:27Lawrence is absolutely devoted, and look how heartbroken her bestie is.
02:40Lawrence, Vivian, I'm coming for you.
02:51My sister would never kill herself.
03:02Evelyn, I have good news for you. I am pregnant!
03:06No way! That's amazing! Our family finally has an heir!
03:10One twin inherits, one lives off the grid. That's how it works in the Saint family.
03:15If you hadn't chosen school, it would have been you running everything.
03:19And I wouldn't change it. I just want you to be happy, like you always used to be.
03:30Then it's settled. My baby's going to want to meet their auntie.
03:47She was pregnant. She had every reason to live.
03:51You two were the only ones there, and I'm going to prove it.
03:55Everyone, we weren't able to recover Serafina's remains.
03:59In three days, I shall hold a symbolic funeral for her with this dress as her vestment.
04:05I hope you'll come.
04:12I will find out the truth, and I will tear down every lie you've built.
04:20Serafina, best little cash cow I ever had. And now, all yours is mine. Even him.
04:36Serafina! She's back!
04:44Serafina! She's back!
04:47Stop it! She's dead, Vivian! Get a grip!
04:50I saw, I swear! Right there in the window! What if she's haunting us?
04:56We killed her once. We can do it again. Even her ghost.
05:05He's right. I imagined it. That's all.
05:09You're right, babe. Glad you're with me. Tomorrow, the whole Saint family troop shows up.
05:14That's our shot. The company, the estate, it's all ours.
05:26You killed my sister. And now you want everything she built. Not a chance.
05:40If no one else is going to make this right, I'll do it myself.
05:45I never imagined I'd be standing here like this.
05:49But today I stand here to announce the passing of my wife, Serafina Saint.
06:02I watched her grow up. I can't believe it. What happens to the company now?
06:06The Saint name can't collapse because of one woman's weakness. Someone has to step up.
06:13Serafina herself said she was overwhelmed.
06:16Lawrence has been running operations for years. The results speak for themselves.
06:22He's the rightful heir, legally, and by every other measure.
06:26He'll take us into the next century.
06:28No, no. My wife just died. I can't just...
06:32Company needs a leader. Lawrence is the man. I'm backing him.
06:40Well, well. That money wasn't wasted. Now the group is ours.
06:45I second that. Agreed.
06:54I don't.
07:05It's her ghost!
07:07I pushed her in myself. I even had crocodiles in that lake.
07:12Nobody survives that.
07:14Grief on your faces and you're already carving up her estate.
07:17This is the man she loved. The friend she trusted most.
07:22She's alive! Someone must have pulled her out.
07:25She's alive!
07:27I watched my wife go under.
07:29Three days of searching turned up half a dress.
07:31You are not her!
07:34Funny, your pupils just dilated, Lawrence.
07:36In this light, they shouldn't. You know what that means? Fear.
07:40I come back from the dead and you're scared?
07:42What exactly did you do that you didn't want me coming back from?
07:47Why does she feel so... different?
07:50No, you're not her!
07:51You just have her face!
07:53And you're using it...
07:54To steal what's mine!
07:56Her own husband says you're a fraud.
07:58Are you?
08:00Uncle Khan, when I was six, I broke an antique vase at your house.
08:04You bought a replica so I wouldn't get in trouble.
08:06It's still in your study. Second cabinet on the left.
08:11It's our little secret now.
08:13Shh!
08:15Lawrence, 2013, I brought Vivian to the estate.
08:18Our car broke down on the way.
08:20You stopped to help.
08:222015, you climbed over the garden wall just to ask if I'd be your Juliet.
08:26I remember everything.
08:28Anyone still has doubts?
08:33Only Serafina knew those things.
08:35Is she actually...?
08:36Thank God Serafina told me everything.
08:39Then tell me, do you remember how you ended up in that lake?
08:47If you knew what I did, you wouldn't be this calm.
08:51Serafina would never kill herself.
08:53Testing me? I knew this was coming.
08:56End my life?
08:57Darling, what are you talking about?
08:59That day, you and Vivian...
09:00She remembers!
09:03Took me out.
09:05And...
09:05Sorry.
09:06After I hit the water, it's all just... blank.
09:10If he really did it, I have to play Amnesia for now.
09:13Revenge comes later.
09:14Did she actually survive?
09:16But her face?
09:20Aaaaaah!
09:22Real or fake, you're not getting in my way.
09:25I finished her once.
09:26I can finish you.
09:28If Serafina's back, I assume the transfer is off the table then?
09:31Yeah, the heiress is here. One is all we need.
09:33Exactly.
09:35No need for outside hands on this and company.
09:38Right, darling?
09:40Of course.
09:41I'm so happy you're alive.
09:43Come on, let's go home.
09:48I had it. Almost.
09:50Real or not, I'll make you the fake one.
09:55Before we do, I have an announcement.
09:57The stock's been tanking.
09:59Tomorrow, I'm calling a full board meeting at Wall Street HQ.
10:02We're fixing this.
10:03Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
10:10That's not Serafina. The real Serafina would never speak to me like that.
10:16Relax. A fake can never become the real thing.
10:32Mrs. Saint.
10:40Please sit.
10:43My disappearance caused disruption to the company and to all of you.
10:47I'm sorry for that.
10:48But I'm back.
10:50And Saint Group isn't going anywhere.
10:52I'll personally bring us back on track.
10:57Hold on.
10:58We all know three days of searching turned up nothing but a dress.
11:01So why should we just take your word for it?
11:04I'm not handing the company to someone I can't verify.
11:14Sean, you don't want the company in the wrong hands, do you?
11:16Lawrence has confirmed she's a fraud.
11:18I've already sent her hair for DNA test it.
11:20Results come back tomorrow right at the meeting.
11:22Then how would you prove I'm not?
11:25Simple. The Saint Group safe holds everything that matters.
11:28Only the true heir knows the combination.
11:30Not even Lawrence can open it.
11:32Open it and we believe you.
11:37That safe is supposed to be in Switzerland.
11:40He's been planning this a long time.
11:42My poor sister.
11:43If you're really my wife, this should be easy, right?
11:59You're right.
12:01Wrong password.
12:08Fraud!
12:14i'm trying again go ahead wait seraphina never told me there was a second layer
12:25twice give it up you fraud everyone this is a dna comparison between lawrence's sample
12:31and seraphina's medical file no match this woman is not seraphina saint so she's really a fraud
12:38this is identity theft we should call the police right now security's coming save your story for
12:47the cell fraud my wife's funeral was yesterday and someone's already here picking through her estate
12:55you disgraced everything she meant to me get out you don't belong in that chair when the cops get
13:05here you're finished one report and you think that settles it anna come in
13:22this is from the swiss federal institute of forensic gynologics the highest forensic authority in europe
13:27my dna cross-reference against seraphina stored eggs from age 20 99.97 match
13:33the swiss federal institute this can't be faked is she really seraphina
13:44identical twins share the same dna of course it matches
13:55that's not possible i watched her go into that lake so i had that dna report forged myself
14:02she cannot be real fine say the report is real you still can't open the safe the combination is known
14:10only to the true heir you failed twice what does that tell you that means you're not seraphina
14:19lawrence has already paid me i can't switch sides now
14:22exactly a report means nothing if you can't open the safe we're not handing saint group to someone
14:28who doesn't even know the code yes open the safe or we don't recognize you there's a saint group
14:32protocol if a leader's legitimacy is challenged she may invoke a stock pledge verification if i lose
14:39i split half my shares along everyone in this room if i win you each hand over half of yours
14:49any one game half the shares hit this bet and i'm set for life she's already failed twice easy money
