00:00:00My daughter Effie died of acute pneumonia.

00:00:04I called my husband Grayson frantically, but he never answered.

00:00:13On her funeral day, he stayed with Belle and their illegitimate son.

00:00:18I returned to the empty house and stood by my daughter's toys,

00:00:22filled with guilt and despair.

00:00:24Baby, I'm sorry. Mommy failed to protect you.

00:00:29I hope you will be safe, happy, and truly loved in your next life.

00:00:34Mommy is coming to join you. We will never be apart again.

00:00:38I swallowed sleeping pills and woke up reborn at Effie's birthday party.

00:00:42She was alive.

00:00:47A banquet waiter stepped forward and reminded me to start the cake-cutting ceremony.

00:00:52Mrs. Lancaster, it's time to cut the cake.

00:00:57I looked at my living daughter and rushed over to hold her.

00:01:04Effie! My baby! You're alive! You're really alive!

00:01:12Mommy will never let anything happen to you again. Never.

00:01:19Grayson's face turned dark. He rushed over and grabbed my arm.

00:01:23I was like, I'm sorry.

00:01:24Isolette, what are you doing? Let her go. There are people watching.

00:01:32Let go of me! Don't touch me! Don't you dare touch my daughter!

00:01:39I shook Grayson off hard.

00:01:41He staggered back, angry and shocked, having never seen me resist like this.

00:01:46You're drunk!

00:01:48What on earth are you doing?

00:01:50I ignored him and walked straight onto the stage to pick up the microphone.

00:01:56I will no longer be the lady of the Lancaster house.

00:02:00Belle knows Caden best, because she is his mother.

00:02:04The crowd erupted in an uproar.

00:02:07Bell turned pale, and Grayson froze completely.

00:02:11I put down the microphone,

00:02:17took Effie's hand, and walked toward the gate.

00:02:22Security! Stop them!

00:02:25Don't let them leave!

00:02:33Two strong security guards blocked the door.

00:02:37I awakened my fighting instinct,

00:02:40and took one down instantly.

00:02:45When did you learn these?

00:02:46How much are you hiding from me?

00:02:49You never knew the real me.

00:02:50I pushed open the heavy gate,

00:02:52and took Effie out of the cage that had imprisoned me for five years.

00:02:55Isolette!

00:02:56You will pay for this!

00:02:58Grayson chased into the marble lobby.

00:03:00You humiliated me in public.

00:03:02Go back and apologize, now!

00:03:06I held up the diamond ring on my left hand,

00:03:08the chain he used to imprison me.

00:03:11I'll raise your allowance.

00:03:13Stop this and come home.

00:03:14I twisted off the ring and slammed it hard onto the floor.

00:03:18I want a divorce.

00:03:20Forgot the pre-module agreement?

00:03:22You'll have nothing after divorce!

00:03:25I don't want your money, house, or cars.

00:03:27I only want Effie.

00:03:29Belle hurried over, pretending to be gentle

00:03:31and persuading me not to be impulsive.

00:03:33Isolette, don't be rash.

00:03:35Grayson and I are just friends.

00:03:42Grayson is yours.

00:03:43No returns.

00:03:45Grayson flew into a rage and froze all my credit cards.

00:03:49I called a ride and left.

00:03:58Mommy, where are we going?

00:04:04A real adventure begins now.

00:04:14I took Effie into a ride-hailing car,

00:04:17away from the mansion,

00:04:18towards our own freedom.

00:04:25I used emergency cash hidden for five years,

00:04:29checked her into a budget hotel,

00:04:31leaving no trace.

00:04:34Effie, rest quietly first.

00:04:37Mommy has things to handle.

00:04:40Mommy?

00:04:41There's no daddy here, right?

00:04:44Yes.

00:04:45Only us here.

00:04:48It's safe.

00:04:51Late at night,

00:04:52I logged into my email with a disposable phone.

00:04:55The account was Valkyrie,

00:04:56X7,

00:04:57full of top institute invitations.

00:04:59From today,

00:05:01Isolette is dead.

00:05:02Only Valkyrie lives.

00:05:05Arland Roth,

00:05:06CEO of Roth Airlines,

00:05:08contacted me through a secret channel.

00:05:11Isolette, I know you are Valkyrie.

00:05:15How do you know that name?

00:05:17I need your skills.

00:05:20Your design was stolen by them.

00:05:31I've retired for five years.

00:05:33I don't want to touch engineering again.

00:05:36Phoenix X7 is your prototype.

00:05:38They'll launch it next month.

00:05:42I woke up startled in the hotel early

00:05:44and only calmed down completely

00:05:46when I saw Effie sleeping peacefully.

00:05:50My old phone rang suddenly.

00:05:53Maria, the family maid,

00:05:55begged me anxiously to go back

00:05:57and take care of Kayden.

00:05:58Please come back.

00:06:00Kayden only eats the porridge you make.

00:06:02I am not a maid,

00:06:03not a nanny,

00:06:04and not Mrs. Lancaster.

00:06:06Don't call this number again.

00:06:14Mommy, look at the rocket I drew.

00:06:24Make the angle sharper

00:06:25to break through air resistance.

00:06:33Mommy, I fixed it.

00:06:35I looked at the drawing

00:06:36precisely corrected by my daughter,

00:06:38filled with shock and admiration.

00:06:44My baby, you're a born genius.

00:06:48Far better than I ever imagined.

00:06:50We're going to a new school

00:06:52that sees your light.

00:06:54Mommy, are you really never going back

00:06:56to that cold house?

00:06:59Never again.

00:07:00From now on, it's just us,

00:07:02safe and free.

00:07:10On the way to send Effie to school,

00:07:12I bumped into a man,

00:07:14and engineering drawings scattered

00:07:16all over the ground.

00:07:22The compression ratio is wrong.

00:07:24It will stall at 30,000 feet

00:07:26and can never fly.

00:07:28Arland froze sharply

00:07:30and recognized me at once

00:07:31as the legendary engineer

00:07:33who had disappeared five years ago.

00:07:35Isselton?

00:07:36It's really you.

00:07:38Arland Roth.

00:07:39You're still here!

00:07:41You can fix my engine!

00:07:42I've been in hiding for five years.

00:07:44Come with me.

00:07:46Prove you're still the genius

00:07:47who shocked the industry.

00:07:48Why do you think I'd drop everything

00:07:50to help you?

00:07:51I turned to leave,

00:07:52but Arland held my wrist firmly,

00:07:54sincere.

00:07:55I beg you.

00:07:59This is my company's last hope.

00:08:02I need absolute privacy.

00:08:06It can't affect my daughter.

00:08:09I promise you.

00:08:11All terms are up to you.

00:08:13I looked at the drawing,

00:08:14picked up a pen,

00:08:16and fixed all flaws in the engine

00:08:18in five minutes,

00:08:20saving millions and six months.

00:08:24Next month at the air show,

00:08:26Belle is releasing Phoenix X7?

00:08:29Yes.

00:08:31It's your original design

00:08:33that was stolen years ago.

00:08:37She stole my husband,

00:08:38and now they want to steal

00:08:40my designs and dreams!

00:08:43Join me.

00:08:44I'll help you crush them.

00:08:46I'm in.

00:08:48You really want to fight

00:08:48the entire Lancaster family?

00:08:50My eyes were cold.

00:08:52I would get back everything

00:08:54Grayson and Belle had snatched

00:08:56away from me.

00:08:57I hire you as senior project director,

00:09:00hidden identity,

00:09:01high salary,

00:09:02confidential.

00:09:02I'll prepare the contract

00:09:04right away.

00:09:05It can take an effect tomorrow.

00:09:07The sooner the better.

00:09:10I don't have time

00:09:11for them to react.

00:09:13I updated my encrypted portfolio

00:09:15under the alias Sophia,

00:09:17gradually taking back

00:09:18my professional status.

00:09:19The school nurse called suddenly,

00:09:21anxiously telling me

00:09:22Caden collapsed from a high fever

00:09:24and kept calling for me.

00:09:26Caden is in critical condition,

00:09:27calling for you.

00:09:28We can't reach Grayson.

00:09:29Contact his biological parents.

00:09:31Call 911 in an emergency.

00:09:32Don't call me again.

00:09:34Mommy, who was that?

00:09:37Wrong number.

00:09:44Grayson rushed to the hospital.

00:09:47Caden woke up

00:09:48asking for my soup first thing.

00:09:50Isolette,

00:09:51where the hell are you?

00:09:52Come back now!

00:09:53I blocked all numbers,

00:09:56completely cutting off contact

00:09:57with the Lancaster family.

00:10:04Mommy,

00:10:05we don't have to see them anymore.

00:10:09As long as you don't want to,

00:10:11we'll never see them.

00:10:15Late at night,

00:10:17Effie's cries woke me up.

00:10:19She had a 104.2 Fahrenheit high fever,

00:10:22the fatal illness from my past life.

00:10:24Effie!

00:10:25Hold on!

00:10:26I had no money

00:10:27and no fever medicine.

00:10:29I had no choice

00:10:30but to call Grayson.

00:10:36Grayson,

00:10:36please answer the phone.

00:10:38Effie is dying!

00:10:40He hung up again and again.

00:10:42The number you dialed

00:10:44is currently switched off.

00:10:45Then turned off his phone,

00:10:47ignoring his daughter's life.

00:10:48I picked up Effie

00:10:49and rushed to stop a car.

00:10:51Rushing to the hospital

00:10:52with my last bit of cash.

00:10:58Driver!

00:10:59Mount Selalai Hospital!

00:11:01Please, hurry!

00:11:02I changed husband

00:11:03in my contacts

00:11:04to one cold word,

00:11:05target.

00:11:07Arland rushed to help

00:11:08immediately after hearing

00:11:09ring the ears.

00:11:13Don't worry.

00:11:14I've arraigned the best doctors

00:11:16in the hospital to save her.

00:11:18I waited outside

00:11:19the emergency room

00:11:20all night without sleep.

00:11:22I refused to lose

00:11:23my daughter again.

00:11:25I'll cover all costs.

00:11:27Just stay with her.

00:11:34Thank you, Arland.

00:11:35I will repay

00:11:37this kindness.

00:11:41Effie finally survived

00:11:43and was transferred.

00:11:45Another half hour

00:11:46and we really

00:11:47couldn't save her.

00:11:50I ran into Grayson

00:11:52gently feeding

00:11:53Caden porridge

00:11:53in the corridor.

00:11:59I sneered.

00:12:00He had ignored

00:12:01his own daughter's

00:12:02critical condition.

00:12:08What are you doing here?

00:12:09Haven't you caused

00:12:10enough trouble?

00:12:11This isn't your place

00:12:12to act up.

00:12:13Exactly.

00:12:15Caden needs peace.

00:12:16Don't come here

00:12:17with bad luck.

00:12:21Bad luck?

00:12:22While my daughter

00:12:23was dying in the ER.

00:12:25You were enjoying

00:12:27yourselves.

00:12:29Effie is in Ward 402.

00:12:32Acute respiratory failure.

00:12:34She nearly died

00:12:35in a taxi last night.

00:12:40You.

00:12:41Why didn't you

00:12:42tell me earlier?

00:12:44I called

00:12:45countless times.

00:12:46You hung up.

00:12:48Turned off your phone.

00:12:50You hung up.

00:12:55Stayed with your

00:12:56mistress and

00:12:56bastard's son.

00:13:00You don't deserve

00:13:02to be her father.

00:13:09I know I was wrong.

00:13:11Please let me

00:13:12see her once.

00:13:19Grayson finally

00:13:20panicked

00:13:21and wanted to see

00:13:21Effie.

00:13:23We stopped him

00:13:23holdly.

00:13:26You don't deserve

00:13:27to be a father.

00:13:29Isolet!

00:13:30Haven't you

00:13:30caused enough

00:13:31trouble?

00:13:32Caden still

00:13:33has a fever.

00:13:36Shut up.

00:13:38If you dare

00:13:39come near

00:13:39Effie again,

00:13:40I'll destroy

00:13:41everything you have.

00:13:43I mean

00:13:44every word.

00:13:46Bell turned pale,

00:13:48grabbed Grayson

00:13:49and left.

00:13:50I turned

00:13:51and walked

00:13:51into the ward.

00:13:55Effie was

00:13:56already awake,

00:13:57staring blankly

00:13:58at the ceiling.

00:14:00Mommy,

00:14:00did I do

00:14:01something wrong?

00:14:02Daddy only

00:14:03likes Caden.

00:14:05Caden.

00:14:07It's not

00:14:08your fault.

00:14:09Daddy just

00:14:10doesn't know

00:14:11how to cherish

00:14:11you.

00:14:13Caden said

00:14:14I'm illegitimate.

00:14:15A mistake.

00:14:20Whoever

00:14:20taught him

00:14:21those words

00:14:22is the mistake.

00:14:23You are

00:14:24a miracle.

00:14:26The nurse

00:14:27said time

00:14:28was up.

00:14:29I stepped

00:14:30out and

00:14:31texted Arlen,

00:14:32send me

00:14:33Skyline

00:14:34specs.

00:14:34I'll destroy

00:14:35them.

00:14:39Welcome

00:14:39back,

00:14:40Valkyrie.

00:14:47Two days

00:14:48later,

00:14:49Effie was

00:14:49discharged.

00:14:52I drove her

00:14:53back to the

00:14:53penthouse for

00:14:54her things.

00:14:55I chose

00:14:56Saturday morning

00:14:57when Grayson

00:14:57usually took

00:14:58Caden

00:14:58golfing.

00:15:05But when

00:15:06I walked

00:15:07in,

00:15:07they were

00:15:08all in

00:15:08the living

00:15:09room.

00:15:11Caden

00:15:11was flying

00:15:12a remote

00:15:13controlled

00:15:14plane.

00:15:16The

00:15:17illegitimate

00:15:18kid is

00:15:18back.

00:15:19Here

00:15:19for things.

00:15:21Effie,

00:15:22go pack.

00:15:22Just as

00:15:23Effie headed

00:15:23to the

00:15:24hallway,

00:15:24Caden

00:15:25shouted,

00:15:25Target

00:15:26practice,

00:15:26and shoved

00:15:27the

00:15:27controller.

00:15:28Target

00:15:29practice.

00:15:31The

00:15:32plane

00:15:32hit Effie's

00:15:33calf.

00:15:34Blood

00:15:35poured

00:15:35out.

00:15:36Hit

00:15:36the

00:15:37target.

00:15:38I

00:15:38went

00:15:39mad.

00:15:40I

00:15:40stomped

00:15:41on the

00:15:41plane and

00:15:43smashed it

00:15:44against the

00:15:44wall.

00:15:50You're

00:15:51crazy.

00:15:52That's

00:15:52$2,000.

00:15:57Your

00:15:58daughter

00:15:58is

00:15:58bleeding

00:15:59and you

00:15:59only care

00:16:00about a

00:16:00toy?

00:16:00Get out

00:16:01of here!

00:16:03I will

00:16:03leave.

00:16:06But if you

00:16:07ever let

00:16:08her get

00:16:09hurt again,

00:16:10I won't

00:16:11stop at

00:16:11toys.

00:16:16This is

00:16:17violence!

00:16:18I'm calling

00:16:18the police!

00:16:22Go ahead.

00:16:24Let the

00:16:25police see

00:16:25your son

00:16:26used a

00:16:26weapon to

00:16:26hurt

00:16:27someone.

00:16:29Grayson

00:16:29charged over

00:16:30furiously,

00:16:31only caring

00:16:31about his

00:16:32son's toy.

00:16:33I crouched

00:16:33in front of

00:16:34Caden and

00:16:35grabbed his

00:16:35wrist tightly.

00:16:37If you

00:16:38ever touch

00:16:38Effie again,

00:16:39I will smash

00:16:40every toy

00:16:41you have.

00:16:42And then...

00:16:44And I

00:16:45will come

00:16:45for you.

00:16:52I tore

00:16:53my skirt

00:16:53to

00:16:53bandage

00:16:54Effie,

00:16:55picked her

00:16:56up,

00:16:56and left.

00:16:58The elevator

00:16:59doors closed

00:17:00slowly.

00:17:03I drove

00:17:04straight to

00:17:05Long Island.

00:17:10My mother

00:17:11Ellen

00:17:11opened the

00:17:12door,

00:17:14pale at

00:17:15the bandage.

00:17:23Carson

00:17:24Power is

00:17:24finished.

00:17:25The bank

00:17:26is calling

00:17:26the loan.

00:17:28Suppliers

00:17:29raised prices

00:17:2940%.

00:17:31Mom,

00:17:32don't be

00:17:32afraid.

00:17:36a woman

00:17:37like you

00:17:42Just watch.

00:17:44I picked

00:17:45up the

00:17:45supplier

00:17:46invoice.

00:17:46The company

00:17:47was Bell's

00:17:48mother's

00:17:48shell company.

00:17:51This isn't

00:17:51poor management.

00:17:53Grayson and

00:17:53Bell are

00:17:54working together

00:17:55to short

00:17:55the company.

00:17:56Why would

00:17:57they want

00:17:57to hurt

00:17:58me?

00:17:58To buy

00:17:59your patents

00:18:00at a low

00:18:00price.

00:18:02Mom,

00:18:02give me

00:18:03the books.

00:18:05my fingers

00:18:06flew through

00:18:06the pages

00:18:07confirming

00:18:08their

00:18:08conspiracy.

00:18:15I used

00:18:15my encrypted

00:18:16phone to

00:18:17contact my

00:18:17old friend

00:18:18Saul.

00:18:20Supply my

00:18:21mother's

00:18:21company at

00:18:22cost.

00:18:23Don't tell

00:18:24her it's

00:18:24me.

00:18:28I wrote a

00:18:29$50,000

00:18:29check and

00:18:30pushed it

00:18:31to my

00:18:31mother.

00:18:35Where did

00:18:36you get

00:18:36this money?

00:18:37I earned

00:18:38it.

00:18:39File for

00:18:40bankruptcy

00:18:40protection.

00:18:41Give me

00:18:42six months.

00:18:44Who are

00:18:45you?

00:18:47I'm the

00:18:48one who

00:18:48saves this

00:18:49family.

00:18:50Skyline

00:18:50Headquarters.

00:18:51I wore a

00:18:52second-hand

00:18:53suit, but

00:18:54my presence

00:18:54was commanding.

00:18:59Grayson is

00:18:59not in.

00:19:01I'm not

00:19:02here for

00:19:02him.

00:19:03I pressed

00:19:03the HR

00:19:04floor.

00:19:12The manager

00:19:13made me

00:19:13wait 20

00:19:14minutes.

00:19:16I resigned

00:19:17from all

00:19:18charity board

00:19:18positions.

00:19:20These are

00:19:21just honorary

00:19:22positions.

00:19:23That's why

00:19:24I'm resigning.

00:19:25I'm tired

00:19:26of being

00:19:26his accessory.

00:19:29I walked

00:19:30out with

00:19:30the papers,

00:19:31passing the

00:19:31main conference

00:19:32room.

00:19:37Grayson and

00:19:38Belle were

00:19:38accepting

00:19:38compliments.

00:19:42I took

00:19:43off my

00:19:43visitor badge

00:19:44and tossed

00:19:45it into the

00:19:46trash right

00:19:46in front of

00:19:47him.

00:19:47Bye-bye.

00:19:49Smile while

00:19:50you can.

00:19:50It won't

00:19:51last.

00:19:53At 9pm,

00:19:54Grayson returned

00:19:55to the penthouse.

00:19:56Pitch black,

00:19:57no dinner

00:19:58smell,

00:19:58no Effie's

00:19:59toys.

00:20:01Isolette?

00:20:02Effie?

00:20:03Where is

00:20:04everyone?

00:20:05Where did

00:20:05they all go?

00:20:06He turned

00:20:07on the

00:20:07light.

00:20:08The living

00:20:08room was

00:20:08empty.

00:20:09He rushed

00:20:10into the

00:20:10master bedroom.

00:20:12The bed

00:20:13was made

00:20:13perfectly.

00:20:15On his

00:20:16pillow lay a

00:20:17thick file

00:20:17folder.

00:20:19Next to it,

00:20:20the ring I had

00:20:20smashed on the

00:20:21foyer floor.

00:20:23What's this?

00:20:25Divorce papers?

00:20:26Waving all

00:20:26alimony?

00:20:27Wanting nothing?

00:20:28Just custody

00:20:29of Effie?

00:20:31Is she

00:20:32insane?

00:20:37She must be

00:20:38bluffing.

00:20:38She won't

00:20:39last a week.

00:20:42Freeze all

00:20:43her cards.

00:20:44Let's see how

00:20:44she'll afford

00:20:45groceries.

00:20:47He opened

00:20:48his mobile

00:20:48banking and

00:20:49froze all my

00:20:49cards.

00:20:50Yusole,

00:20:51you'll come

00:20:51crawling back.

00:20:52With a

00:20:52child,

00:20:53where can

00:20:53you even

00:20:53go?

00:20:55You will

00:20:56definitely

00:20:56regret this.

00:20:57He didn't

00:20:58know.

00:20:58I was never

00:20:59coming back.

00:21:00The Jacob

00:21:01Convention

00:21:01Center was

00:21:02packed.

00:21:03The annual

00:21:22The guard

00:21:23immediately

00:21:23let me

00:21:24through.

00:21:24I took

00:21:25off my

00:21:25sunglasses

00:21:26and looked

00:21:26straight at

00:21:27the cameras.

00:21:32That's a

00:21:33fight.

00:21:39Security!

00:21:40Throw her

00:21:40out!

00:21:41Ma'am,

00:21:42her access is

00:21:43full clearance.

00:21:43what?

00:21:45Impossible!

00:21:51What are you

00:21:51doing here?

00:21:55To cause

00:21:56trouble?

00:21:58I'm here to

00:21:59see what you've

00:21:59built.

00:22:02With the

00:22:02design you

00:22:03stole from

00:22:04me.

00:22:05This is

00:22:05Belle's

00:22:06work.

00:22:08Is that

00:22:09so?

00:22:10Then let's

00:22:11watch what

00:22:12she's got.

00:22:13What?

00:22:13The lights

00:22:14dimmed.

00:22:15The curtain

00:22:16opened.

00:22:21A forward

00:22:22swept wing

00:22:23drone appeared.

00:22:29That was

00:22:30my design

00:22:30drawn on a

00:22:31napkin

00:22:31five years

00:22:32ago.

00:22:33They didn't

00:22:33even change

00:22:34the screw

00:22:35position.

00:22:36I spent

00:22:36months

00:22:37refining

00:22:37this design.

00:22:38How did

00:22:39you solve

00:22:39the supersonic

00:22:40aeroclastic

00:22:41diversion

00:22:41problem?

00:22:48Belle froze,

00:22:49looked at

00:22:50Grayson,

00:22:51and had

00:22:51no answer.

00:22:58Trade secret.

00:22:59Can't

00:23:00disclose.

00:23:04She's lying.

00:23:05She doesn't

00:23:06understand a

00:23:06thing.

00:23:08They only

00:23:09stole the

00:23:09shape.

00:23:12Should we

00:23:12expose them?

00:23:14No.

00:23:15Let them

00:23:15fly it.

00:23:17Past Mach

00:23:181.2,

00:23:19the plane

00:23:19will break

00:23:20apart.

00:23:20Let it

00:23:21break apart

00:23:22in front

00:23:23of everyone.

00:23:33The

00:23:33presentation

00:23:34ended.

00:23:35Thunderous

00:23:35applause

00:23:36filled the

00:23:36hall.

00:23:37Belle

00:23:37bowed

00:23:38on stage.

00:23:39I stood

00:23:40up.

00:23:40I didn't

00:23:41clap.

00:23:43I just

00:23:43stared

00:23:44coldly

00:23:44at

00:23:44Grayson.

00:23:45You see?

00:23:47This is

00:23:48talent.

00:23:49Better

00:40:38direction.

00:40:39He recognized

00:40:40Effie.

00:40:41He recognized

00:40:42who this

00:40:42strange woman

00:40:43standing next

00:40:43to Effie

00:40:44was.

00:40:46It's you.

00:40:47It's actually

00:40:48you.

00:40:49I stood on

00:40:50the podium

00:40:50holding the

00:40:51gold trophy.

00:40:52Effie waved

00:40:53happily to the

00:40:54crowd beside

00:40:55me.

00:40:56The mask

00:40:57hid my face,

00:40:58but not the

00:40:59light on hers.

00:41:01How is this

00:41:02possible?

00:41:03How could

00:41:04she beat

00:41:04us?

00:41:11Sophia,

00:41:12please wait.

00:41:13What do

00:41:14you want?

00:41:15Skyline needs

00:41:15a talent like

00:41:16you.

00:41:17Triple salary,

00:41:18start Monday.

00:41:19Name your

00:41:19terms.

00:41:20I took the

00:41:21business card

00:41:21and glanced

00:41:22at it.

00:41:24I heard your

00:41:25procurement

00:41:26director doesn't

00:41:27even understand

00:41:27what sensor drift

00:41:28rate rate means.

00:41:30I'm not interested

00:41:31in a company like

00:41:32that.

00:41:33What did you

00:41:33say?

00:41:34Say that again!

00:41:42Darren,

00:41:43shut up.

00:41:44I took

00:41:45Effie's hand

00:41:46and walked

00:41:46past him.

00:41:47Effie looked

00:41:48back at him,

00:41:49then turned

00:41:49away and kept

00:41:50walking.

00:41:51There was

00:41:51nothing in her

00:41:52eyes, like

00:41:53looking at a

00:41:53stranger.

00:41:55Did you just

00:41:56give him another

00:41:57heart attack?

00:42:00Hold this for

00:42:01me.

00:42:01It's heavy.

00:42:05Of course a

00:42:06gold trophy is

00:42:07heavy.

00:42:08You deserve

00:42:08it.

00:42:09After the

00:42:09competition,

00:42:10Harper told me

00:42:11Grayson's lawyer

00:42:12wanted to meet

00:42:12to discuss

00:42:13asset division.

00:42:14He's been

00:42:15looking at the

00:42:15calendar all

00:42:16day.

00:42:17Your wedding

00:42:18anniversary is

00:42:18coming up.

00:42:19He wants to

00:42:20use that as a

00:42:20reason to

00:42:20pause the

00:42:21divorce.

00:42:22I was sitting

00:42:23in the

00:42:23conference room.

00:42:24The door

00:42:25opened and

00:42:26Grayson and

00:42:26his lawyer

00:42:27walked in.

00:42:27I know you

00:42:28hate me, but

00:42:30the past five

00:42:30years weren't

00:42:31fake.

00:42:32Effie needs a

00:42:33complete home.

00:42:37Do you want

00:42:37to know why I

00:42:38go by Sophia?

00:42:40Sophia is my

00:42:41real name.

00:42:42Isla Lancaster.

00:42:43You gave me

00:42:44that name.

00:42:45What do you

00:42:46mean?

00:42:47You took my

00:42:47name, my

00:42:48career, my

00:42:49dignity, piece

00:42:51by piece, and

00:42:53now you tell me

00:42:54you need a

00:42:54complete home?

00:42:58Isolette, I

00:43:03You're the

00:43:03one who tore

00:43:04apart that

00:43:04complete home,

00:43:05not me.

00:43:06Just as we

00:43:06reached an

00:43:07impasse, Belle

00:43:08burst into the

00:43:09law firm.

00:43:11Caden followed

00:43:12behind her, crying

00:43:13with snot all

00:43:14over his face.

00:43:15I want you to

00:43:17come back!

00:43:18I don't want

00:43:19her!

00:43:20I'm dizzy.

00:43:22I can't

00:43:23stand.

00:43:24My stomach

00:43:25hurts.

00:43:26It hurts so

00:43:27much!

00:43:29Grayson looked

00:43:29at Belle, then

00:43:30at me.

00:43:31His eyes

00:43:32wavered.

00:43:33For the first

00:43:33time, he

00:43:34actually looked

00:43:35uncertain.

00:43:37Let's talk

00:43:37another day.

00:43:41He chooses

00:43:42her every

00:43:42single time!

00:43:43Every single

00:43:43time!

00:43:44I picked up

00:43:44the diamond

00:43:45ring on the

00:43:45table.

00:43:46The one he

00:43:47bought me when

00:43:48we got married.

00:43:49I set it down

00:43:50on the table.

00:43:51Please return

00:43:52this to him.

00:43:53Are you sure?

00:43:54This ring is

00:43:55worth $300,000.

00:43:57I don't need

00:43:57it anymore.

00:43:58Never again.

00:44:05Grayson

00:44:05eventually came

00:44:06back to the

00:44:06law firm alone.

00:44:08Only the two

00:44:08of us remained

00:44:09in the office.

00:44:13Sign this.

00:44:14You'll get the

00:44:15house, the

00:44:16trust fund,

00:44:16alimony.

00:44:17You won't have

00:44:18to worry about

00:44:18the future.

00:44:19I didn't look

00:44:19at the agreement.

00:44:21I took an

00:44:22envelope from my

00:44:22bag and placed

00:44:23it face down

00:44:24on the table.

00:44:26Diamond ring,

00:44:27apartment keycard,

00:44:29mansion keys,

00:44:30black card.

00:44:31They're all

00:44:32here.

00:44:35These things

00:44:36are the chains

00:44:37you used to

00:44:37trap me.

00:44:38I'm returning

00:44:39them now.

00:44:43Are you really

00:44:44doing this?

00:44:45I want a divorce.

00:44:46I don't want

00:44:47your money,

00:44:48your house,

00:44:48or anything of

00:44:49yours.

00:44:49I only want

00:44:50Effie.

00:44:51You don't want

00:44:52my money?

00:44:53Who do you

00:44:53think you are?

00:44:54You think you

00:44:55can survive

00:44:55without me?

00:44:56You can't even

00:44:57afford your

00:44:57lawyer's fees!

00:44:58He picked up

00:44:59the phone and

00:44:59called the bank

00:45:00right in front

00:45:01of me.

00:45:01Freeze all

00:45:02subsidiary cards

00:45:03under Isolet's

00:45:04name.

00:45:08You don't even

00:45:09have money for

00:45:10a cab home

00:45:11now.

00:45:14Grayson,

00:45:14your biggest

00:45:15problem is that

00:45:16you think everyone

00:45:17is like you.

00:45:18Measuring

00:45:19everything by

00:45:20money alone.

00:45:26Late at night,

00:45:27I was woken by

00:45:28Effie's cries.

00:45:29She was having

00:45:30a nightmare,

00:45:30kicking and

00:45:31thrashing.

00:45:31Don't hit me!

00:45:32I don't want

00:45:33daddy!

00:45:34Go away!

00:45:35Effie, wake

00:45:35up!

00:45:36Mommy's here!

00:45:37Mommy's right

00:45:38here!

00:45:39Mommy, I had

00:45:40that dream again!

00:45:42The next day,

00:45:42I took her to

00:45:43see a child

00:45:44psychologist.

00:45:45The doctor

00:45:46looked at

00:45:46Effie's drawing.

00:45:47The drawing

00:45:48has you,

00:45:48her,

00:45:49and your

00:45:49house.

00:45:50But daddy

00:45:51is painted

00:45:51as a black

00:45:52blob.

00:45:53And in the

00:45:53corner,

00:45:54it says

00:45:54daddy.

00:45:55What does

00:45:56that mean?

00:45:57She has

00:45:57severe

00:45:57abandonment

00:45:58fears.

00:45:58She doesn't

00:45:59hate her

00:45:59father.

00:46:00She's afraid

00:46:00to trust

00:46:00him again.

00:46:01But her

00:46:02talent,

00:46:02that's her

00:46:02weapon to

00:46:03rebuild her

00:46:03confidence.

00:46:04This math

00:46:04problem is

00:46:05middle school

00:46:06level.

00:46:06She already

00:46:06solved it in

00:46:07her head.

00:46:07She's only

00:46:08five.

00:46:09St.

00:46:09Jeed's

00:46:10gifted

00:46:10program.

00:46:10I'm going

00:46:11to send

00:46:11her there.

00:46:12Caden

00:46:12goes to

00:46:12that

00:46:13school

00:46:13too.

00:46:13But he

00:46:14doesn't

00:46:14qualify for

00:46:15the gifted

00:46:15program.

00:46:16I know.

00:46:17She'll use

00:46:18her talent to

00:46:18defeat the

00:46:19boy who

00:46:19bullied her.

00:46:20Effie's school

00:46:20application required

00:46:21her birth certificate

00:46:22and vaccination

00:46:23records.

00:46:24These documents

00:46:24were locked in

00:46:25the penthouse

00:46:25safe.

00:46:26I timed it

00:46:27carefully.

00:46:28Wednesday at

00:46:28two in the

00:46:28afternoon.

00:46:29Grayson was

00:46:30at work.

00:46:30Belle was at

00:46:31the hair salon.

00:46:32Caden was at

00:46:32school.

00:46:33But the door lock

00:46:33code had

00:46:34changed.

00:46:35I crouched by

00:46:35the door and

00:46:36took out my

00:46:36toolkit.

00:46:41The door opened.

00:46:43The smell of

00:46:44perfume in the

00:46:44apartment almost

00:46:45made me vomit it.

00:46:46Belle had

00:46:46sprayed her

00:46:47scent all

00:46:48over the

00:46:48entire place.

00:46:49Isolid's

00:46:50back!

00:46:50Help!

00:46:51Shut up.

00:46:52I'm here to

00:46:53get something.

00:46:54Then I'm

00:46:54leaving.

00:46:55Mommy!

00:46:56Help!

00:46:57Isolid?

00:46:59What are you

00:46:59doing here?

00:47:00Getting

00:47:01Effie's birth

00:47:01certificate.

00:47:03You broke

00:47:04into my

00:47:05home.

00:47:05Stealing

00:47:06documents.

00:47:07This isn't

00:47:07stealing.

00:47:09This is

00:47:09mine.

00:47:10He rushed

00:47:11at me.

00:47:12I blocked

00:47:12him and ran

00:47:13out the

00:47:13door.

00:47:13As the

00:47:14elevator doors

00:47:15closed, I

00:47:15saw Grayson

00:47:16holding a

00:47:17crying Caden,

00:47:18looking completely

00:47:19defeated.

00:47:20Back home, I

00:47:22couldn't shake

00:47:22the feeling that

00:47:23something was

00:47:23off.

00:47:24Why did

00:47:25Grayson come

00:47:25home suddenly?

00:47:26Why wasn't

00:47:27Caden at

00:47:27school?

00:47:28I opened the

00:47:29apartment's

00:47:29smart home

00:47:30system.

00:47:30I had built

00:47:31that system

00:47:32myself years

00:47:32ago.

00:47:33Grayson had

00:47:34forgotten to

00:47:34remove my

00:47:34administrator access.

00:47:36The access

00:47:36logs showed

00:47:37Belle's

00:47:38fingerprint at

00:47:39two in the

00:47:39morning, two

00:47:41people's body

00:47:41temperature data in

00:47:42the master bedroom

00:47:43at three in the

00:47:44morning.

00:47:47Caden, tear up

00:47:48Effie's drawings.

00:47:49This room is yours

00:47:50from now on.

00:47:51My hands were

00:47:52shaking, not from

00:47:53fear, from

00:47:54disgust.

00:47:55She slept in my

00:47:56bed, ate with my

00:47:57utensils, and tore up

00:47:58my daughter's drawings.

00:47:59Harper, help me file

00:48:01an emergency

00:48:02injection.

00:48:02I want everyone to

00:48:03know she moved

00:48:04into my home

00:48:04before the

00:48:05divorce was

00:48:05even fatalized.

00:48:07This isn't just

00:48:08evidence of

00:48:08cheating.

00:48:09This is

00:48:09psychological abuse

00:48:10against you during

00:48:11your marriage.

00:48:14Can we win?

00:48:15Yes.

00:48:24On the day of the

00:48:25gifted program

00:48:26interview, I

00:48:27dressed Effie in

00:48:27her favorite little

00:48:28blue dress and

00:48:29tied her hair in

00:48:30two ponytails.

00:48:32Mommy, I'm

00:48:33nervous.

00:48:34You don't need to

00:48:35be nervous.

00:48:36You're the smartest

00:48:37kid here.

00:48:38The entrance of

00:48:38St. Jed's was

00:48:39lined with luxury

00:48:40cars.

00:48:41Belle was sitting

00:48:42in the waiting

00:48:43area with

00:48:43Caden.

00:48:45Oh, here to

00:48:46try your luck?

00:48:46The gifted program

00:48:48isn't for just

00:48:48anyone.

00:48:50Effie didn't

00:48:51look at her.

00:48:51She walked

00:48:52straight into

00:48:52the exam room.

00:48:54Caden tried to

00:48:55follow, but the

00:48:55teacher stopped

00:48:56him.

00:48:57Effie was in

00:48:58the exam room

00:48:58for 40 minutes.

00:48:59When she came

00:49:00out, Caden

00:49:01suddenly lunged

00:49:02at her, grabbed

00:49:03the math workbook

00:49:04from her hands, and

00:49:05threw it into the

00:49:06fountain.

00:49:09Caden, if you

00:49:10touch her again, I'll

00:49:12make sure your

00:49:12mother never sets

00:49:13foot in this

00:49:13school for the

00:49:14rest of her

00:49:14life.

00:49:15You dare

00:49:15threaten my

00:49:16son?

00:49:16I'm telling

00:49:17you.

00:49:17From today

00:49:18on, Effie

00:49:19goes to this

00:49:19school.

00:49:20If your son

00:49:20ever bullies

00:49:21her again, I'll

00:49:22make you and

00:49:23your mother's

00:49:23shell company

00:49:23disappear together.

00:49:25Belle's face

00:49:26turned white.

00:49:27She opened

00:49:28her mouth, but

00:49:28no words came

00:49:29out.

00:49:34Mommy, let's

00:49:35go.

00:49:36Okay, let's

00:49:38go.

00:49:42After the

00:49:43gifted program

00:49:43interview, I

00:49:44thought that was

00:49:45the end of it.

00:49:46But the next

00:49:46day, a set of

00:49:47photos appeared on

00:49:48social media.

00:49:49The photos showed

00:49:50Effie standing by

00:49:51the fountain with

00:49:52Kaiden crying next

00:49:53to her.

00:49:53The caption read,

00:49:55Ex-wife's daughter

00:49:56bullies an

00:49:56innocent child.

00:50:03Did you see

00:50:04it?

00:50:04The comments

00:50:05are all

00:50:05attacking Effie.

00:50:08No.

00:50:09Then don't

00:50:09look.

00:50:09I've already

00:50:10got the legal

00:50:11team on it.

00:50:12I hung up and

00:50:13saw Effie standing

00:50:14in the kitchen

00:50:14doorway.

00:50:15She was holding

00:50:16the rocket

00:50:16drawing she had

00:50:17made.

00:50:18Her eyes read,

00:50:20Mommy, are

00:50:21they saying bad

00:50:22things about me

00:50:23again?

00:50:25What they say

00:50:26doesn't matter.

00:50:27You know who

00:50:28you are, and

00:50:29I know.

00:50:30That's enough.

00:50:32Mommy, I got

00:50:34into the gifted

00:50:35program.

00:50:36Really?

00:50:40First place.

00:50:47My baby, I'm

00:50:49so proud of

00:50:50you.

00:50:54In Effie's

00:50:55first week at

00:50:55the gifted

00:50:56program, the

00:50:57school held the

00:50:58Math Olympia

00:50:59Selection Test.

00:51:00It was the

00:51:01most important

00:51:02math competition

00:51:03in the city.

00:51:04I heard Effie

00:51:05talking to herself

00:51:06in the living

00:51:06room.

00:51:08this problem

00:51:10use Uhler's

00:51:12formula, then

00:51:16substitution for

00:51:17the integral

00:51:18here.

00:51:23I walked out

00:51:24and saw her

00:51:25writing on the

00:51:26whiteboard.

00:51:26That problem

00:51:28was high school

00:51:28competition level.

00:51:30She was only

00:51:31five.

00:51:33Mommy, I think

00:51:34I solved it.

00:51:39My phone buzzed

00:51:40with an incoming

00:51:41call.

00:51:41I picked it

00:51:42up.

00:51:45Don't let Effie

00:51:46take the

00:51:46Math Olympian.

00:51:47She'll get

00:51:48crushed.

00:51:50Caden has been

00:51:51studying math

00:51:51since he was

00:51:52three.

00:51:53He's definitely

00:51:54getting first

00:51:54place this time.

00:51:56Thanks for the

00:51:56concern.

00:51:58But my daughter

00:51:59doesn't need

00:51:59your pity.

00:52:04I turned off

00:52:05my phone and

00:52:06checked Effie's

00:52:07solution steps.

00:52:08Every single

00:52:09step was

00:52:10correct.

00:52:13On the day

00:52:14of the Math

00:52:15Olympiad, I

00:52:16sat in the

00:52:17last row of

00:52:18the audience.

00:52:19Effie sat in

00:52:20the exam hall,

00:52:21her small body

00:52:22almost hidden by

00:52:23the desk.

00:52:24But she sat

00:52:25up straight.

00:52:27Caden, don't be

00:52:28nervous.

00:52:29You're the best.

00:52:33The test papers

00:52:35were handed

00:52:35out.

00:52:36Effie scanned

00:52:36the questions,

00:52:37then started

00:52:38writing.

00:52:39Her hand

00:52:39barely stopped.

00:52:42An hour

00:52:43later, Effie

00:52:44raised her hand

00:52:45to submit her

00:52:46paper.

00:52:46The proctor

00:52:47stared at her

00:52:48test in shock,

00:52:49almost unable

00:52:50to believe it.

00:52:51Who is that

00:52:52little girl?

00:52:53Why did she

00:52:54submit so fast?

00:52:55I hear she's

00:52:56once a Lancaster.

00:53:00That housewife's

00:53:01daughter?

00:53:02No way.

00:53:03Effie walked

00:53:04out of the

00:53:05exam hall and

00:53:06threw herself

00:53:07into my arms.

00:53:10How did you

00:53:11do?

00:53:11The bonus

00:53:12question was

00:53:13a little hard,

00:53:14but I solved

00:53:15it two different

00:53:16ways.

00:53:17Two ways?

00:53:19Yes!

00:53:20The first

00:53:20way took

00:53:21five minutes.

00:53:22The second

00:53:22way only

00:53:23took two.

00:53:33On results

00:53:34day, the

00:53:35school hall

00:53:36was packed

00:53:36with parents.

00:53:38Effie and

00:53:38Caden stood

00:53:39next to the

00:53:39podium, waiting

00:53:40for the scores.

00:53:41Caden scored

00:53:4285, third

00:53:44in the school!

00:53:45On the big

00:53:45screen, the

00:53:47first place

00:53:47name appeared.

00:53:48Effie Carson,

00:53:50perfect score.

00:53:59Grayson's mother,

00:54:00Batrice, instantly

00:54:01exploded.

00:54:03This is

00:54:04impossible!

00:54:05This child has

00:54:07only been in

00:54:08school for a

00:54:09week!

00:54:09How could she

00:54:10get a perfect

00:54:11score?

00:54:12She must have

00:54:13cheated!

00:54:16She must have

00:54:19score.

00:54:19Mrs. Lancaster,

00:54:20you are

00:54:21questioning my

00:54:21daughter's

00:54:22score.

00:54:23Please provide

00:54:24evidence.

00:54:25Evidence?

00:54:26A five-year-old

00:54:27getting a perfect

00:54:28score on the

00:54:29math Olympion?

00:54:30That is the

00:54:31evidence!

00:54:33I turned on my

00:54:34phone's live stream

00:54:35and pointed the

00:54:36camera at Beatrice.

00:54:37Let everyone hear

00:54:38how Mrs.

00:54:39Lance does

00:54:40slander a

00:54:40five-year-old

00:54:41girl.

00:54:42You!

00:54:43Put that

00:54:44thing away!

00:54:46Didn't you want

00:54:47everyone to know?

00:54:48Then let's see

00:54:49how they react.

00:54:51The live stream

00:54:53viewership exuded

00:54:54500,000.

00:54:56The comments

00:54:57exploded.

00:54:58Mom!

00:54:59Shut up!

00:55:06You're telling

00:55:07me to shut

00:55:08up?

00:55:09I am your

00:55:10mother!

00:55:11I'm telling

00:55:11you to shut

00:55:12up!

00:55:12Now!

00:55:14Grayson's

00:55:15voice was

00:55:15shaking.

00:55:16He wasn't

00:55:17defending me.

00:55:18He was

00:55:18defending the

00:55:18stock price.

00:55:20I turned

00:55:21off the

00:55:21live stream

00:55:22and walked

00:55:22up to

00:55:23Beatrice.

00:55:24You owe

00:55:25Effie an

00:55:26apology.

00:55:29I...

00:55:32Apologize.

00:55:34Mom.

00:55:35Apologize.

00:55:39I'm sorry.

00:55:42I took

00:55:43Effie's hand

00:55:44and walked

00:55:44out of the

00:55:45hall.

00:55:45Behind us

00:55:46were whispering

00:55:47parents and

00:55:48the livid

00:55:48Lancasters.

00:55:50Mommy,

00:55:51why doesn't

00:55:51Grandma like

00:55:52me?

00:55:55Because she

00:55:56doesn't know

00:55:56you.

00:55:57When she gets

00:55:58to know you,

00:55:58she will like

00:55:59you.

00:56:00Really?

00:56:02Really.

00:56:03But not

00:56:04everyone deserves

00:56:04to know you.

00:56:13The next day,

00:56:15Belle ran to the

00:56:15school holding

00:56:16several pieces of

00:56:17paper, claiming

00:56:18they were cheat

00:56:19sheets found under

00:56:19Effie's seat.

00:56:21This is the

00:56:21evidence.

00:56:22She wrote the

00:56:23answers on these

00:56:23papers and brought

00:56:24them into the

00:56:25exam.

00:56:25Mrs. Carson,

00:56:26do you have

00:56:27anything to say?

00:56:28You placed these

00:56:29papers there

00:56:29yourself, didn't

00:56:30you?

00:56:31How dare you

00:56:33falsely accuse

00:56:33me?

00:56:34Fine.

00:56:35Let's call the

00:56:36police.

00:56:36Let them analyze

00:56:37the handwriting and

00:56:38check if your

00:56:39fingerprints are on

00:56:40the papers.

00:56:41You.

00:56:42When you placed

00:56:44them under

00:56:44Effie's seat,

00:56:45you probably

00:56:46weren't wearing

00:56:46gloves.

00:56:51Mommy,

00:56:52didn't you say

00:56:53no one would

00:56:54find out?

00:56:55The whole room

00:56:55fell silent.

00:56:56The principal

00:56:57stared at Belle.

00:56:58Belle stared at

00:56:59Kayden.

00:57:00I stared at

00:57:01Kayden.

00:57:02Mrs. Escobar,

00:57:03please leave the

00:57:04school with your

00:57:04son.

00:57:05Await the

00:57:05investigation results.

00:57:07No, that's

00:57:08not how it

00:57:08happened.

00:57:09Kayden, thank

00:57:09you for telling

00:57:10the truth.

00:57:11Even if it

00:57:12wasn't voluntary.

00:57:18After the

00:57:19cheating scandal,

00:57:20Kayden was

00:57:21suspended from

00:57:21school.

00:57:24Effie's name

00:57:25was engraved

00:57:26on the school's

00:57:27honor wall.

00:57:28That evening,

00:57:30Grayson was

00:57:30waiting for me

00:57:31downstairs.

00:57:34He looked

00:57:35much older.

00:57:40My mother

00:57:41wants to see

00:57:41Effie.

00:57:43She's sick.

00:57:44The doctor

00:57:45says she has

00:57:45only a few

00:57:46months left.

00:57:50She wants to

00:57:50see Effie

00:57:51one last time.

00:57:55I don't know

00:57:55if she kneels

00:57:56down and

00:57:56apologize.

00:57:57I'm not sure

00:57:57I would agree.

00:58:01Grayson looked

00:58:01at me,

00:58:02then suddenly

00:58:03knelt down.

00:58:05Please,

00:58:06I've never

00:58:07begged you

00:58:07for anything.

00:58:10This one time,

00:58:11I'm begging

00:58:12you.

00:58:15Stand up.

00:58:16You look

00:58:17ridiculous kneeling

00:58:18here.

00:58:18You agree?

00:58:21I didn't

00:58:22agree.

00:58:29But I'm

00:58:30willing to

00:58:30negotiate.

00:58:33What

00:58:34conditions?

00:58:36First,

00:58:37Belle is not

00:58:38allowed to be

00:58:39at the

00:58:40estate.

00:58:41If she's

00:58:42there,

00:58:42we're not

00:58:43coming.

00:58:47Agreed.

00:58:48Second,

00:58:50Beatrice must

00:58:50apologize to

00:58:51Effie in

00:58:52public.

00:58:53Not a

00:58:54percentory

00:58:54apology.

00:58:56A sincere

00:58:57one.

00:58:59You know

00:58:59she would

00:59:00never...

00:59:00That's your

00:59:01problem.

00:59:02Not mine.

00:59:04Fine.

00:59:05I'll make her

00:59:05apologize.

00:59:06Third,

00:59:06when Effie

00:59:07doesn't want

00:59:07to call you

00:59:08daddy,

00:59:08you are not

00:59:09allowed to

00:59:09force her.

00:59:10She is my

00:59:11daughter!

00:59:11Then ask

00:59:12yourself,

00:59:12when have

00:59:12you ever

00:59:13acted like

00:59:13a father?

00:59:14I agree.

00:59:15All three

00:59:16conditions.

00:59:16I agree.

00:59:18Fine.

00:59:20Saturday at

00:59:20ten in the

00:59:21morning.

00:59:21We'll be

00:59:22there.

00:59:24I closed

00:59:25the door.

00:59:26Effie came

00:59:27out of her

00:59:27room.

00:59:32Effie,

00:59:32do you

00:59:33want to go

00:59:33see grandma?

00:59:34She yelled

00:59:35at me last

00:59:36time,

00:59:37but if she

00:59:37apologizes,

00:59:39I can

00:59:39forgive her.

00:59:44Okay.

00:59:44Then we'll

00:59:45go on

00:59:46Saturday.

00:59:53On the

00:59:54weekend,

00:59:54I took

00:59:55Effie to

00:59:55the Lancaster

00:59:56estate in

00:59:56Hudson Valley.

00:59:59Beatrice sat

01:00:00in a wheelchair,

01:00:01soaking up the

01:00:02sun in the

01:00:02garden.

01:00:04Effie walked

01:00:05up to her.

01:00:06Without a

01:00:07word, she

01:00:08handed her the

01:00:08honor certificate.

01:00:11grandma, you

01:00:13accused me of

01:00:13cheating last

01:00:14time.

01:00:15I forgive

01:00:15you.

01:00:17You

01:00:17forgive me?

01:00:19Yes, because

01:00:20mommy said

01:00:21forgiving others

01:00:22makes one

01:00:22happier.

01:00:24Oh, isn't

01:00:25this

01:00:26Isoleth?

01:00:27You got

01:00:28kicked out by

01:00:28my brother.

01:00:29What are you

01:00:30doing here?

01:00:31Here to

01:00:32freeload?

01:00:32Or to beg

01:00:33for money?

01:00:34Serafina,

01:00:36watch your

01:00:36words.

01:00:38What?

01:00:39Did I say

01:00:40something wrong?

01:00:41My mommy is

01:00:42an engineer.

01:00:43She's better

01:00:44than you.

01:00:45You can't

01:00:46even read

01:00:47engine and

01:00:47blueprints.

01:00:50What did

01:00:51you say?

01:00:51You little

01:00:52Serafina,

01:00:53enough.

01:00:56My daughter

01:00:56is right.

01:00:58You can't

01:00:59read blueprints.

01:01:00And you

01:01:01can't read

01:01:02people's

01:01:02hearts either.

01:01:08At dinner,

01:01:09the long

01:01:10table was

01:01:10set with

01:01:10silverware and

01:01:11crystal glasses.

01:01:12Serafina sat

01:01:13at the head,

01:01:14deliberately not

01:01:14arranging seats

01:01:15for me or

01:01:16Effie.

01:01:18Sorry, the

01:01:19maid probably

01:01:19forgot.

01:01:20You can eat

01:01:21in the kitchen.

01:01:21There's space

01:01:22placed by

01:01:22the

01:01:22servants

01:01:22area.

01:01:25Get up.

01:01:29What?

01:01:30I said,

01:01:32get up.

01:01:34Who do you

01:01:35think you

01:01:35are?

01:01:36Because I

01:01:36am Effie's

01:01:37guardian.

01:01:38Because I

01:01:38am Beatrice's

01:01:39invited guest.

01:01:40Because in

01:01:41this family,

01:01:42you have

01:01:42nothing except

01:01:43the Lancaster

01:01:43name.

01:01:47I reached

01:01:48out, took

01:01:49her arm,

01:01:50and pulled

01:01:50her up.

01:01:51She stood

01:01:52up from the

01:01:53chair.

01:01:56Effie, sit

01:01:58here.

01:02:05I lifted

01:02:06up.

01:02:06Effie onto

01:02:07that seat,

01:02:07then sat

01:02:09down in the

01:02:09chair next

01:02:09to her.

01:02:11This seat

01:02:12belongs to

01:02:14Effie from

01:02:15now on.

01:02:16Mom!

01:02:17Are you just

01:02:18gonna let her

01:02:19bully me like

01:02:19this?

01:02:21Sit down.

01:02:23Eat.

01:02:25Stop

01:02:26embarrassing

01:02:26yourself.

01:02:28Grayson sat

01:02:29across the

01:02:29table, watching

01:02:30all of this

01:02:31in silence.

01:02:34Mommy, this

01:02:35chair is so

01:02:36tall.

01:02:37You deserve

01:02:38to sit up

01:02:39high.

01:02:40You deserve

01:02:41the best

01:02:42things in

01:02:42the world.

01:02:43After dinner,

01:02:44Beatrice signaled

01:02:45for me to

01:02:46follow her to

01:02:46the study.

01:02:47Grayson tried

01:02:48to come

01:02:48along, but

01:02:48the old

01:02:49woman blocked

01:02:49him with

01:02:50her cane.

01:02:57Open it.

01:02:58I opened

01:02:59the wooden

01:02:59box.

01:03:00Inside were

01:03:00a yellow

01:03:01diary, an

01:03:01emerald

01:03:02brooch, and

01:03:02a photograph.

01:03:03A woman

01:03:04in a flight

01:03:04jacket stood

01:03:05in front of

01:03:05a B-17

01:03:06bomber.

01:03:07Who is

01:03:07this?

01:03:08Your

01:03:09grandmother.

01:03:10She was

01:03:11a women's

01:03:11air force

01:03:12pilot during

01:03:12World War

01:03:13II.

01:03:15She flew

01:03:16B-17

01:03:17bombers.

01:03:18She was

01:03:19a top

01:03:19navigator

01:03:20and an

01:03:20engineer.

01:03:22I always

01:03:22thought she

01:03:23was just

01:03:23a servant

01:03:23of the

01:03:24Lancaster

01:03:24family.

01:03:25She was

01:03:26in love

01:03:26with

01:03:27Grayson's

01:03:27father, but

01:03:29she refused

01:03:30his proposal

01:03:30because she

01:03:31wouldn't give

01:03:32up her

01:03:32career.

01:03:33The

01:03:34Lancaster

01:03:35family owes

01:03:35her a lot.

01:03:39Grayson

01:03:39suddenly burst

01:03:40in.

01:03:42Mom, are

01:03:44you giving

01:03:44her money?

01:03:49Grayson, we

01:03:50measure everything

01:03:51by money.

01:03:52that's why

01:03:53you'll never

01:03:53know what

01:03:54you've truly

01:03:54lost.

01:03:57What have

01:03:58I lost?

01:04:00You've got a

01:04:01child and can

01:04:02barely afford

01:04:02food.

01:04:04I lost a

01:04:05nightmare.

01:04:09You lost

01:04:10your daughter's

01:04:11heart.

01:04:14The next

01:04:14morning, sunlight

01:04:16filtered through

01:04:16the curtains

01:04:17into the

01:04:17guest room.

01:04:18Effie was

01:04:19already awake,

01:04:20quietly counting

01:04:21the patterns

01:04:21on the

01:04:22carpet.

01:04:28You don't

01:04:29have to say

01:04:29anything if you

01:04:30don't want to.

01:04:31You are the

01:04:32master of your

01:04:32own voice.

01:04:34Okay,

01:04:34mommy.

01:04:35Mommy.

01:04:39Come here,

01:04:39sweetheart.

01:04:40Let daddy give

01:04:41you a hug.

01:04:41Effie froze

01:04:42instantly,

01:04:43staring at his

01:04:43hands.

01:04:44She remembered

01:04:45being pushed

01:04:45away, being

01:04:46ignored.

01:04:46She screamed

01:04:47and dodged

01:04:48in fear.

01:04:48No, go

01:04:49away!

01:04:50Go away!

01:04:55Your approval

01:04:56rating is too

01:04:57low.

01:04:58She's just

01:04:59cranky from

01:04:59waking up.

01:05:00All kids are

01:05:01like this.

01:05:02She's not

01:05:03having a mood.

01:05:04She recalls

01:05:05what you've

01:05:06done to her.

01:05:10Have some

01:05:11bacon, Effie.

01:05:11Your favorite.

01:05:12She can't

01:05:13eat bacon!

01:05:14Enough!

01:05:15He slammed

01:05:16down his fork

01:05:19and stormed

01:05:20out of the

01:05:20dining room.

01:05:22Saturday

01:05:23dinner.

01:05:24Distant

01:05:25relatives had

01:05:25come to visit

01:05:26Beatrice.

01:05:27Candlelight

01:05:28reflected off

01:05:28crystal glasses.

01:05:30I wore a

01:05:30simple black

01:05:31dress, calm

01:05:32and composed.

01:05:37Oh, divorced

01:05:38and unemployed,

01:05:40still hanging

01:05:40around your

01:05:41ex-husband?

01:05:43Shameless.

01:05:48You have no

01:05:49manners.

01:05:52I turned

01:05:53to leave.

01:05:54Stop right

01:05:55there!

01:05:55Who do you

01:05:56think you

01:05:56are?

01:06:01respect is

01:06:02earned.

01:06:03You've never

01:06:04earned mine.

01:06:05Sit down!

01:06:06I said

01:06:06sit down!

01:06:11The drama

01:06:12is yours.

01:06:13I'm leaving.

01:06:18Back in the

01:06:19guest room,

01:06:20my phone buzzed

01:06:21with an email

01:06:21from Arland.

01:06:22He was

01:06:22officially hiring

01:06:23me as chief

01:06:24engineer of

01:06:25orbital systems.

01:06:26I signed

01:06:27the contract.

01:06:27Mommy,

01:06:28are we

01:06:28moving?

01:06:33Yeah.

01:06:37To a place

01:06:38where no one

01:06:39dares look

01:06:40down on us.

01:06:42Sunday morning,

01:06:43I was packing

01:06:44my luggage.

01:06:45The tablet

01:06:46beside the bed

01:06:47was still lit,

01:06:48open on

01:06:48Orbal Systems'

01:06:49contract page.

01:06:53The door

01:06:54was suddenly

01:06:54pushed open.

01:06:55Grayson walked

01:06:56in with a

01:06:57glass of

01:06:57green detox

01:06:58juice,

01:06:59a stirrer

01:06:59still in it.

01:07:00Drink this.

01:07:01You're emotionally

01:07:02unstable,

01:07:03hormonal

01:07:04imbalance.

01:07:05I'm not

01:07:06sick.

01:07:06His eyes

01:07:07swept over

01:07:08the tablet.

01:07:09When he

01:07:10saw the

01:07:10name

01:07:10Orbital Systems,

01:07:12his face

01:07:12darkened

01:07:13instantly.

01:07:14Orbital Systems?

01:07:15You're

01:07:16delusional.

01:07:17You haven't

01:07:17touched

01:07:17engineering

01:07:18in five

01:07:18years.

01:07:19At best,

01:07:20you're a

01:07:20coffee fetter.

01:07:21I'm the

01:07:22chief

01:07:22engineer.

01:07:23Five years

01:07:26You've

01:07:26long

01:07:26forgotten

01:07:26what

01:07:26calculus

01:07:27Drink

01:07:28it!

01:07:29I took

01:07:30the cup.

01:07:31He smiled

01:07:32smugly.

01:07:33I turned

01:07:34and walked

01:07:34into the

01:07:34bathroom.

01:07:37I poured

01:07:38the green

01:07:39liquid into

01:07:39the toilet

01:07:40and flushed.

01:07:45I walked

01:07:46back out

01:07:46holding the

01:07:47empty cup.

01:07:48This is

01:07:48detox.

01:07:50Getting

01:07:50rid of all

01:07:51the poison

01:08:00you!

01:08:01Just

01:08:02wait and

01:08:02see.

01:08:04He

01:08:04cursed for

01:08:05a while

01:08:05outside the

01:08:05door,

01:08:06then stormed

01:08:06off.

01:08:07Mommy,

01:08:08why is

01:08:09Daddy

01:08:10Daddy

01:08:11throwing a

01:08:11tantrum

01:08:17Yes,

01:08:19I

01:08:19suitcase

01:08:20as fast

01:08:20as I

01:08:21could,

01:08:23grabbed

01:08:23Effie's

01:08:24coat,

01:08:27and opened

01:08:28the door.

01:08:28But

01:08:29Grayson had

01:08:29never left.

01:08:30He leaned

01:08:31against the

01:08:31doorframe,

01:08:32dangling my

01:08:33car keys from

01:08:34his finger.

01:08:35Going

01:08:35somewhere?

01:08:36Give me

01:08:37back my

01:08:37keys.

01:08:38The

01:08:38driver is

01:08:39off.

01:08:39The

01:08:39mountain

01:08:39roads are

01:08:40dangerous.

01:08:40You're

01:08:41unstable

01:08:41right now.

01:08:42I

01:08:42can't let

01:08:42you

01:08:43Give

01:08:46No.

01:08:47Mommy,

01:08:48what's

01:08:48wrong?

01:08:50Effie

01:08:51I

01:08:52couldn't

01:08:58No one

01:09:05I

01:09:06pressed a

01:09:07against the

01:09:07door handle

01:09:51suddenly

01:09:52rang.

01:09:53The

01:09:53ringtone.

01:09:54It was

01:09:55Belle.
