Transcript
00:00:00My life was ruined completely that night.
00:00:03I'd only gone to warn the woman chasing my boyfriend,
00:00:05yet I ended up becoming her prey.
00:00:10Stay still.
00:00:12Didn't you burst into my room, begging me to save you?
00:00:15You are women. We can't do this.
00:00:18Your lips say no, but your body tells a far different story.
00:00:41I'm supposed to be in town, but her lips are so soft, her face so stunning.
00:00:46My body has completely stopped fighting back.
00:00:49I must have lost my mind.
00:00:51Look at me. Know who I am.
00:00:54Please, kiss me.
00:00:55Remember my name. It's Eleanor.
00:00:57Eleanor, kiss me harder.
00:01:00Darling, don't cry and regret it when you wake up tomorrow.
00:01:16Oh my god. What have I done?
00:01:19I lost my virginity to a woman?
00:01:25Psycho. I never want to see you again!
00:01:33Mom, I'm home.
00:01:35Serena! Thank God, we're finally saved!
00:01:38I registered my marriage with Mr. Landon yesterday.
00:01:40He's paid off all our debts.
00:01:41We're moving to his villa in the wealthy neighborhood tomorrow!
00:01:44What?
00:01:45He also has a daughter.
00:01:47Two years older than you.
00:01:48You must get along well with her.
00:01:51Mom, congratulations.
00:01:54Forget last night.
00:01:56Treat it like a ridiculous nightmare.
00:01:59Everything will get better tomorrow.
00:02:04Serena, listen.
00:02:05You have to behave yourself.
00:02:06Don't ruin this for me.
00:02:08This is my chance at happiness, and I've worked too hard for it.
00:02:11I know, Mom.
00:02:13Mom.
00:02:15There you are.
00:02:19Eleanor, come meet your stepmother and your sister.
00:02:37It's her.
00:02:38You want this, don't you?
00:02:42Eleanor, is this your new stepsister?
00:02:44She's wearing some secondhand dress picked up from who knows what slum, reeking of poverty.
00:02:48She can't even hold a cup properly.
00:02:49What a tracky, unkeeled country bumper.
00:02:54Be careful.
00:02:56Nice to meet you.
00:02:57I'm Eleanor.
00:02:58From now on, I'll be your dear elder sister.
00:03:02Oh my God.
00:03:02The rival who's always hacked with my boyfriend is actually my new stepsister?
00:03:05And I slept with her last night.
00:03:12Calm down, Serena.
00:03:14It was pitch black last night.
00:03:16She couldn't have seen your face.
00:03:17Just deny everything.
00:03:18Bury it deep.
00:03:26What are you doing?
00:03:27Get out!
00:03:27Get out!
00:03:28Get out, sweetheart.
00:03:31This is my house.
00:03:33Last night, crying my name underneath me, you were clinging pretty tight.
00:03:39It was all an accident.
00:03:40I was drugged.
00:03:41I didn't know it was you.
00:03:42Now you're my sister.
00:03:44Please, just forget it ever happened.
00:03:46Forget?
00:03:47Serena, look at yourself, shaking like a lost kitten.
00:03:50If my father finds out his precious stepdaughter was moaning under his own daughter last night,
00:03:55how fast do you think he'll throw your broke mother out on the street?
00:04:01No!
00:04:03My mom can't lose this, please!
00:04:07I don't do charity.
00:04:11So, what are you willing to trade?
00:04:14What do you want?
00:04:16What do I want?
00:04:18Don't you already know?
00:04:20Just like that night.
00:04:21Are you insane?
00:04:23This is the bathroom.
00:04:24Someone could walk in any second.
00:04:25I'm running out of patience.
00:04:28Want me to call my father in here right now?
00:04:42I clearly just saw Eleanor follow Serena in there.
00:04:46Eleanor?
00:04:47Are you in there?
00:04:51That filthy little hick.
00:04:53How dare she sink her claws into Eleanor?
00:05:03Stop crying.
00:05:05Unless you want everyone knowing our little secret,
00:05:08I'm more than happy to share.
00:05:10Please, don't let them find out.
00:05:13Then remember this fear.
00:05:14The terror of being exposed.
00:05:17From now on, you come when I call.
00:05:23Call.
00:05:28What am I going to do?
00:05:34Maybe I should just tell Damien everything
00:05:36and end it with him.
00:05:50See, boys?
00:05:51This is my so-called innocent girlfriend.
00:05:53Told you one text would bring her running.
00:05:54Look who won.
00:05:56Not bad looking.
00:05:57Damien owes Miss Chloe 50 grand.
00:05:59Take off your clothes, let us take some photos,
00:06:01and it's all wiped clean.
00:06:05In your dreams!
00:06:08Damien, is that true?
00:06:09You dragged me here to strip for photos
00:06:10to pay off your debt?
00:06:12Drop the innocent act.
00:06:13You think I ever liked a boring prude like you?
00:06:15I only dated you on a dare.
00:06:17They said you were some untouchable nerd.
00:06:19Turns out, you were easy.
00:06:21How could you do this to me?
00:06:23Fine, we're done!
00:06:26I hear your mother just married rich.
00:06:28Play along, or I'll post tonight's photos everywhere.
00:06:30Let's see how long that fancy new family
00:06:31keeps a whore like you!
00:06:37Somebody, please.
00:06:51Let her go.
00:06:57Eleanor, what are you doing here?
00:06:59This is all a misunderstanding.
00:07:07Misunderstanding?
00:07:11She was stalking me!
00:07:12I swear!
00:07:13I have nothing to do with her!
00:07:14Think I don't know you've been dropping my name for clout?
00:07:16Listen up, you worthless piece of shit.
00:07:19One, I don't know you.
00:07:19She's my sister.
00:07:21Two, if you ever touch her again,
00:07:22I will end you.
00:07:23Apologize.
00:07:25Serena!
00:07:25I'm sorry.
00:07:28Louder!
00:07:30Serena, I'm sorry.
00:07:31I'm scum.
00:07:32I never should have lied to you.
00:07:34I never should have used you.
00:07:37Don't be scared.
00:07:38I'm taking you home.
00:07:58Sweetheart, are you crying over that scum mag?
00:08:01Eleanor, I'm sorry.
00:08:03Eleanor, I'm sorry.
00:08:03For what?
00:08:05I always thought you were the one chasing Dame,
00:08:07but he was chasing you.
00:08:08Someone put him up to hurting me.
00:08:09I blamed you for nothing.
00:08:10I'm sorry.
00:08:10And?
00:08:13So, those crazy nights,
00:08:15let's just pretend they never happened.
00:08:16We share a last name now.
00:08:18You're my sister.
00:08:19Please, sister.
00:08:20Let me go.
00:08:21But I don't want to be just your sister.
00:08:25Kiss me.
00:08:28No.
00:08:33No.
00:08:33Refuse all you want,
00:08:34but my father and your mother are still awake.
00:08:37I'd be happy to call a family meeting right now.
00:08:39Tell them what we've all ready.
00:08:45Her lips are so soft,
00:08:47and I think I actually like this.
00:08:49God, I'm disgusting.
00:08:54I should be pushing her away.
00:08:56So why does my whole body go weak
00:08:57the moment she touches me?
00:09:00Don't clench so tight.
00:09:02You like it, don't you?
00:09:18Serena, what's wrong?
00:09:19You look awful.
00:09:20I'm fine, Mom.
00:09:21Just didn't sleep well.
00:09:29Last night was absolutely exhausting,
00:09:32wasn't it, Serena?
00:09:34You can't even hold a fork.
00:09:35Serena, your face is bright red.
00:09:38Are you running a fever?
00:09:39I think it's just a bit warm in here.
00:09:45Vivian, time to go.
00:09:46We have a charity luncheon to attend.
00:09:49Mom is so happy now.
00:09:51How could I destroy all that?
00:09:53But if this keeps up,
00:09:56Eleanor is going to drive me insane.
00:10:06That little bitch humiliated me.
00:10:09Just you wait.
00:10:17Last warning.
00:10:19Stay away from her.
00:10:20Next time I won't just break your nose,
00:10:22I'll snap your neck.
00:10:23G-got it.
00:10:24I'm gone.
00:10:37I'm gone.
00:10:41Can't sleep?
00:10:49I just came for some water.
00:10:51What are you doing here?
00:10:53I'm thirsty too.
00:10:56Let me get you a glass.
00:10:59No.
00:10:59You're exactly what I'm thirsty for.
00:11:07And you're sweet.
00:11:10Let go of me.
00:11:15This nightground is sexy.
00:11:18I like it.
00:11:24You seemed to enjoy yourself last night.
00:11:27No, I didn't.
00:11:28Eleanor, stop.
00:11:29This is the kitchen.
00:11:30Someone could walk in any...
00:11:50Eleanor, is that you?
00:11:53Want my father to see this?
00:11:56Please, don't.
00:12:04Still up, Eleanor?
00:12:06Just finished the quarterly reports.
00:12:09Grabbing some water.
00:12:13Take care of yourself.
00:12:15Don't overdo it.
00:12:16Get some rest.
00:12:19You too, father.
00:12:26Good girl.
00:12:27You're adorable.
00:12:30She knows exactly how to mess with me.
00:12:32And I still can't push her away.
00:12:46Well, well.
00:12:47The slum girl's already sporting love bites.
00:12:50Been here, what, a few days?
00:12:51Already spreading your legs?
00:12:57Chloe, this is the Smith house.
00:12:59You don't get to lecture my sister.
00:13:01Get out.
00:13:03Eleanor.
00:13:04We grew up together.
00:13:07You're throwing me out for this gutter rash?
00:13:13That damn bitch.
00:13:15I'll make you pay.
00:13:31Eleanor, have you lost your mind?
00:13:33We're on campus.
00:13:37Allergies.
00:13:38Weak excuse.
00:13:41Let go of me.
00:13:46Now you've got one on both sides.
00:13:48Your little lie just got more convincing.
00:13:58I can't go on like this.
00:13:59I have to get away from her.
00:14:03Miss Chloe was right.
00:14:05There is something twisted between those two.
00:14:07If I can get proof of this incest,
00:14:09I'm gonna be rich.
00:14:14Wonder what Eleanor's doing right now.
00:14:17I've lost my mind.
00:14:18I want to get away from her,
00:14:20so why can't I stop thinking about her?
00:14:21Serena, it's really you.
00:14:23I've been wanting to talk to you ever since the library.
00:14:25It's been a while, Owen.
00:14:27May I have this dance?
00:14:28Owen's a nice guy.
00:14:30Maybe I should try a normal relationship.
00:14:31Might finally help me break free from Eleanor.
00:14:39Oops.
00:14:40Clumsy me.
00:14:41Here.
00:14:42Let me pay for that.
00:14:43$200 for your cheap slum dress.
00:14:46Keep the change.
00:14:46What's your problem?
00:14:49Excuse me.
00:14:50I need to clean this up.
00:15:03Eleanor.
00:15:05It's you.
00:15:19You'd rather let Chloe humiliate you
00:15:21and go out with that guy
00:15:23just to avoid me?
00:15:29I don't want to be your secret plaything forever.
00:15:33This, this isn't normal.
00:15:36Normal?
00:15:38That night at the bar,
00:15:40you kissed me first.
00:15:42You started this.
00:15:43I was drugged that night.
00:15:47The first time, maybe.
00:15:50But the second?
00:15:51The third?
00:15:53Right now,
00:15:54your body's a lot more honest than your mouth.
00:15:59Call him.
00:16:01Right now.
00:16:03Cancel Saturday.
00:16:05No.
00:16:06I can't.
00:16:12Or would you prefer I call Father instead?
00:16:14Let him hear exactly what you sound like under me?
00:16:16No.
00:16:17I'll call.
00:16:18Please.
00:16:29Serena?
00:16:30Serena?
00:16:31Owen, I'm sorry.
00:16:33Saturday, I can't make it.
00:16:37Serena?
00:16:39Are you okay?
00:16:41You sound out of breath.
00:16:43Keep talking.
00:16:44I'm fine.
00:16:46About Saturday?
00:16:47I can't go.
00:16:48Please don't call me again.
00:16:56That's my good girl.
00:17:02Eleanor's too ruthless.
00:17:04There's no escaping her.
00:17:07But can we really keep going like this forever?
00:17:10Of course.
00:17:12Be a good girl and stay by my side.
00:17:16And I'll teach you so much more.
00:17:19I have a tennis match tomorrow.
00:17:21Don't forget to come cheer me on.
00:17:29Miss Chloe,
00:17:31I got the photos.
00:17:54This is who she's meant to be.
00:17:57Radiant.
00:17:58Worshipped.
00:17:59Not tangled up with a stepsister who crawl out of the gutter.
00:18:05Eleanor, you are incredible.
00:18:07Unlike some sewer rat over there,
00:18:09not even worthy of handing you a towel.
00:18:11Back off.
00:18:12Your perfume's making me sick.
00:18:22What are you so smug about?
00:18:23You're nothing.
00:18:24You really think Eleanor actually wants you?
00:18:26You're just her plaything.
00:18:27I'm not smug.
00:18:29Look at you.
00:18:30Your mother slept her way to the top.
00:18:31And you?
00:18:32Getting bent over the bathroom seat by your own sister?
00:18:34Shut your mouth!
00:18:35Don't you dare talk about my mother!
00:18:37Hit a nerve, did I?
00:18:39You're nothing but a parasite.
00:18:40You belong in the gutter where the light never reaches.
00:18:43She's right.
00:18:44Chloe and Eleanor belong in the same world.
00:18:46And me?
00:18:47I'm just her dirty little secret.
00:18:52Why can't I stop thinking about Eleanor?
00:19:16How did you get in here?
00:19:19It's my house.
00:19:20I have the keys.
00:19:28Why did you leave the match halfway?
00:19:38Chloe's right.
00:19:39Why do you care so much what they think?
00:19:41Isn't my affection for you obvious enough?
00:19:43But so many people want you.
00:19:45They're all so dazzling.
00:19:46They fit perfectly at your side.
00:19:47Oh, I get it now.
00:19:48You're jealous, aren't you?
00:19:49No, I'm not.
00:19:56You're jealous, aren't you?
00:19:57I don't believe you.
00:19:59What's that in your hand?
00:20:01A gift.
00:20:02For you.
00:20:07What are you doing?
00:20:09Unwrapping my present.
00:20:13That's...
00:20:14What is that?
00:20:15A reward for being such a good girl lately.
00:20:18Like the color?
00:20:18I thought pink suits that innocent look of yours.
00:20:21I'm not talking about the color!
00:20:22Want to give it a try?
00:20:24Eleanor, stop!
00:20:24I'm not using that!
00:20:36I'm not using that!
00:20:43You...
00:20:44You...
00:20:44You're such a bastard.
00:20:55What do you want?
00:20:56Miss Chloe paid me, sure.
00:20:58But I figure you'd be willing to cock up half a million for these little scandals.
00:21:01Not bad photography?
00:21:03Don't...
00:21:03Don't play games with me!
00:21:04These photos could destroy you both!
00:21:07Tomorrow, three o'clock, North Dock.
00:21:10Bring the negatives in every cloud password.
00:21:12If a single one is missing, you'll find out exactly what happens when you cross me.
00:21:20Get half a million in cash.
00:21:22Bring the team to the North Dock tomorrow.
00:21:24How do you want this handled?
00:21:25Tie him up.
00:21:25I'll deal with him myself in a few days.
00:21:28I want him to remember for the rest of his life what it costs to come after me.
00:21:32Serena, in this world no one gets to threaten you and me.
00:21:36That summer program I mentioned?
00:21:38Signed Serena up.
00:21:39Damien was never a real threat.
00:21:41But I still don't want Serena to see my hand stained with blood.
00:21:44She's too pure.
00:21:45She just needs to stay safe under my wing while I clean up this filth.
00:21:48Then everything will be fine.
00:21:56Working late tonight.
00:21:57Not coming back.
00:21:58Get some sleep.
00:22:01Eleanor hasn't been home in a week.
00:22:03Won't even take my calls.
00:22:04Is she really that busy?
00:22:06Serena!
00:22:07Eleanor signed you up for a summer camp abroad.
00:22:09Two weeks with that tech mentor you love.
00:22:12She really treats you like her own sister.
00:22:15What?
00:22:16You take a look.
00:22:18I'm heading out first.
00:22:24What is Eleanor doing?
00:22:28Is this your way of getting rid of me?
00:22:31Have you already had your fun and now you're throwing me away?
00:22:43The negatives, they're all here.
00:22:46Please just let me go.
00:22:47I'll leave the country.
00:22:48Tonight.
00:22:49Put him on the boat.
00:22:51Dispose of him.
00:22:53Let me go.
00:22:54Get off me.
00:22:58You haven't been home in five days.
00:23:00This camp is so boring.
00:23:02Eleanor.
00:23:03I miss you.
00:23:10Eleanor.
00:23:11I miss you.
00:23:16Go on.
00:23:18Sleep with her.
00:23:19Let's see if Eleanor still wants this slut after that.
00:23:31Owen?
00:23:32What are you doing?
00:23:34Save your breath.
00:23:35No one's around.
00:23:36Your mom slept her way into money.
00:23:38Do the same.
00:23:38One time.
00:23:39I'll pay you.
00:23:40Let go of me!
00:23:41Huh.
00:23:44Ah!
00:23:46Don't act so innocent.
00:23:47Everyone knows you and your mother are nothing but...
00:23:50Ah!
00:23:51Ah!
00:23:52Ah!
00:23:53Ah!
00:23:54Ah!
00:23:55Ah!
00:23:55Ah!
00:23:55Ah!
00:23:56Ah!
00:24:09What the hell?
00:24:10Why is Eleanor back now?
00:24:11Ah!
00:24:12Ah!
00:24:14Ah!
00:24:17Ah!
00:24:17Ah!
00:24:17Ah!
00:24:17Who the hell are you?
00:24:23Ah!
00:24:25Ah!
00:24:29Who the fuck are you?
00:24:30Ruining my fu-
00:24:37I'm sorry.
00:24:38I'm late.
00:24:42Tie him up.
00:24:43No!
00:24:44I didn't touch her!
00:24:45She was coming on to me.
00:24:46That's right.
00:24:46She seduced me.
00:24:47I just...
00:24:56Hang him up.
00:24:58No.
00:25:03I'm sorry!
00:25:05Please let me down!
00:25:08Ah!
00:25:14Ah!
00:25:15Ah!
00:25:16Ah!
00:25:27I didn't seduce him.
00:25:28He forced himself on me.
00:25:31I know.
00:25:33I read every message you sent me.
00:25:36Then why didn't you reply?
00:25:42Because someone said she missed me, I wanted to come see for myself.
00:25:47Look at me.
00:25:49Does it hurt?
00:25:56There, now, sweetheart.
00:25:58No one's gonna hurt you.
00:25:59some one.
00:26:22Boss!
00:26:23That crazy bitch Chloe got the backups early.
00:26:25She sent the photos to Mr. Landon.
00:26:27What? Get us back, now!
00:26:31Uncle Landon, Serena is a gold-digging whore.
00:26:34She seduced Eleanor on purpose to get at the family fortune.
00:26:37Eleanor, you fool. Genuine feelings for that girl.
00:26:41If I don't put a stop to this now, the Smith name will be destroyed.
00:26:49Eleanor.
00:26:51What have you done to Serena? You're sisters.
00:26:55Eleanor, my study. Now.
00:26:58As for Serena, Vivian.
00:27:01No one sees her until I decide how to handle this disgrace.
00:27:08I've tolerated your little games, but falling for her, I will not allow it.
00:27:13And I'm disappointed. You couldn't even clean up Damien? Left a trail behind?
00:27:19There was a third party backing Damien. I've already dealt with them. No more photos.
00:27:23Photos don't matter. What matters is your weakness.
00:27:26If you don't want her thrown out on the street alongside Vivian tomorrow,
00:27:29in front of me, you'll tell her the truth.
00:27:31What truth?
00:27:32Tell her it was all just a game.
00:27:33You were playing with her.
00:27:34Failed to do that, and I'll send her somewhere you'll never find her.
00:27:39The stage is set.
00:27:41Remember, Eleanor.
00:27:42Eleanor, if she doesn't hate you, I will make her disappear.
00:27:45The Smith heir cannot have weaknesses.
00:27:54I know what to do, Father.
00:27:59Eleanor loves me.
00:28:01She won't abandon me.
00:28:02I'll be brave.
00:28:04We'll face this together.
00:28:10Eleanor!
00:28:11Did you explain everything?
00:28:12The photos, are they handled?
00:28:14Let's just run away.
00:28:15Take me and Mom, please!
00:28:20Eleanor.
00:28:22Run away?
00:28:23What is this, a fairy tale?
00:28:25You're a student.
00:28:26I'm the heir to the Smith Empire.
00:28:28I'm not throwing away my legacy for a cheap thrill.
00:28:30You said you loved me.
00:28:33I said I liked playing with you.
00:28:35Those photos?
00:28:36I had Damia take them.
00:28:38Why do you think I didn't stop him sooner?
00:28:40The Forbidden Sisters Act was getting stale.
00:28:43I needed to spice things up.
00:28:45You're lying.
00:28:46You saved me at the camp.
00:28:48I was protecting my property.
00:28:50No one touches my toys but me.
00:28:52But now Father knows.
00:28:53And honestly, I'm bored.
00:28:55You break too easily.
00:28:56Here's your severance.
00:28:58Take it and get out.
00:28:59And take your gold-digging mother with you.
00:29:01Don't let me see you again.
00:29:02You disgust me.
00:29:06Look at you.
00:29:07So pathetic.
00:29:18I'm sorry, Serena.
00:29:20If I didn't drive you away, Chloe and Father would destroy you.
00:29:28So, I was the only one who thought it was real.
00:29:33Eleanor, I hate you.
00:29:36I'll hate you for the rest of my life.
00:29:41You have the nerve to cry?
00:29:43Serena, how could you be so shameless?
00:29:47Mom.
00:29:49I've suffered for years.
00:29:51Finally got us into the Smith family.
00:29:53Finally living the good life.
00:29:54And you, you seduce Ellen.
00:29:56Are you trying to destroy my whole life?
00:29:58I didn't seduce her.
00:29:59She was the one.
00:30:00I don't want to hear her.
00:30:03Landon just told leave.
00:30:04If you don't leave, he's throwing me back to the slums.
00:30:08Do you want me to die?
00:30:09You want me picking trash off the street?
00:30:11You ungrateful bitch.
00:30:13Why did I even have you?
00:30:15The ticket is booked.
00:30:166 a.m. tomorrow.
00:30:18This is your last chance, Serena, to actually do something for your mother.
00:30:22Fine.
00:30:23I'll go.
00:30:24I won't ruin your rich life, Mom.
00:30:31Uncle Landon, as you wished, I'm leaving.
00:30:33Please don't blame my mother.
00:30:35The fault is all mine.
00:30:36Eleanor, you were right.
00:30:38It was just a sick game, and I'm done playing.
00:30:41Sick game?
00:30:59Eleanor, look at yourself.
00:31:01All this for a woman?
00:31:03You'd throw away the dignity of the air for her?
00:31:06Dignity?
00:31:06You drove away the only happiness I've ever known, and you want to lecture me about dignity?
00:31:11She was just a toy.
00:31:12You'll forget her in a few months.
00:31:14Don't worry, Father.
00:31:16From now on, I'll be the perfect heir.
00:31:18But first, certain people are going to pay.
00:31:28Which hand did you use to send those photos?
00:31:32This is just the beginning.
00:31:38Anna, I can't sleep.
00:31:40It's been three days.
00:31:41Is it the merger?
00:31:43Is it the merger?
00:31:43Or the dream again?
00:31:45Anna, I saw her in my dreams again, at the airport, wearing that pink tie.
00:31:49She didn't even look back.
00:31:51She said I disgusted her.
00:31:53Eleanor, you own the entire Smith and Empire now.
00:31:55You've purged everyone who drove her away.
00:31:57Why can't you let go?
00:31:59Because I'm the one who pushed her into the abyss.
00:32:01I didn't just lose her.
00:32:02I killed the only part of myself that was still alive.
00:32:12Eleanor, if you hadn't pushed me away, would you even see this perfect Anna standing before
00:32:18you now?
00:32:19Someone finally worthy of standing by your side?
00:32:38Eleanor, I miss you every single day, too.
00:32:46Please welcome this year's youngest honoree, a trailblazer in PTSD research, Dr. Anna.
00:33:01The reversibility of traumatic memory has been my research focus for the past six years.
00:33:12Hello, Eleanor.
00:33:13It's been a while.
00:33:25Hello.
00:33:35Can I help you?
00:33:37Nice act.
00:33:39No voice changer this time?
00:33:40Or do you prefer that fake voice used in my headphones?
00:33:50I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:33:52Excuse me, I haven't heard.
00:33:57Why won't you admit you're Serena?
00:34:02My name is Anna.
00:34:04My fiancรฉ is waiting.
00:34:06Excuse me.
00:34:15Miss Smith.
00:34:17An honor to meet you.
00:34:18Miss Smith, allow me to introduce my fiancรฉ, William.
00:34:22We collaborated on this project.
00:34:33Anna.
00:34:34Why did you lie and tell her I'm your fiancรฉ?
00:34:39I'm sorry, William.
00:34:40I shouldn't have used you as a shield.
00:34:43No.
00:34:44I'm glad I could help.
00:34:56I'm glad I could help.
00:34:59Miss Smith.
00:35:01Pleasure to meet you.
00:35:02How can I help?
00:35:02Drop the professional tone.
00:35:04You think a new identity means I won't recognize what's mine?
00:35:08My name is Anna.
00:35:09If you continue harassing me, I'll call security.
00:35:12Go ahead.
00:35:13Call them.
00:35:14But before they arrive, shall I read these aloud?
00:35:17Serena.
00:35:18Birth name Serena Moore.
00:35:19Mother Vivian Moore.
00:35:21Left the Smith this home six years ago.
00:35:22Enrolled at Johns Hopkins Psychology the same year.
00:35:25Earned your doctorate as Anna Garcia two years ago.
00:35:29Published three papers on PTSD.
00:35:32And your most successful clinical case study is me.
00:35:38You investigated me.
00:35:40You lied to me for six years.
00:35:43Twice a week, anonymous therapy.
00:35:45Watching me pour my guilt out to a screen like a mad woman.
00:35:48Did you enjoy that?
00:35:49That was my clinical research.
00:35:51Whatever we had, it ended six years ago.
00:35:54Ended?
00:35:54Do you know how I survived these six years?
00:35:56If you hate me so much, why treat me at all?
00:35:59Why not just let me die from insomnia?
00:36:03You were a research subject.
00:36:05Nothing more.
00:36:09Look at me.
00:36:11Do you hate me that much?
00:36:13You'd rather die out there than come back?
00:36:15Toying with me all these years, does it make you proud?
00:36:17I didn't toy with you.
00:36:18You were the one who forced me.
00:36:27Do you know how I've survived these six years every single day?
00:36:30I thought if only I hadn't said those words.
00:36:32You said I was just a toy.
00:36:33You told me to leave.
00:36:34I was protecting you.
00:36:36Chloe was going to hurt you.
00:36:37Father threatened your lives.
00:36:38If I didn't push you away, you'd both be dead.
00:36:42Dr. Anna, your 230 patient is here.
00:36:50Of course, please have the patient wait five minutes.
00:36:54Whatever the truth is, it's too late.
00:36:56I have work.
00:36:57Please leave.
00:37:14Is the car ready?
00:37:16Ready.
00:37:17Hit them.
00:37:21William, are you okay?
00:37:23Yeah, I think so.
00:37:26I'm so sorry.
00:37:27My brakes failed.
00:37:28Oh God, did I nearly hit you?
00:37:30Brakes failed?
00:37:30Are you kidding me?
00:37:31I truly apologize.
00:37:31Here's my card.
00:37:32All damages will be fully compensated.
00:37:35I'm deeply sorry for the shock.
00:37:36Please, let me make this right.
00:37:39Serena, I need to wait for the police report.
00:37:41I'm afraid I can't drive you.
00:37:43Take care of this first.
00:37:44I can grab a cab.
00:37:49Get in.
00:37:51No cabs for three miles around here.
00:37:53You know me, Serena.
00:37:54I always get what I want.
00:38:02Eleanor.
00:38:10You know exactly what I want.
00:38:12It hasn't changed not in six years.
00:38:15I wanted you then and you couldn't escape.
00:38:17I want you now.
00:38:20And you still can.
00:38:33Break off the engagement with William.
00:38:36And if I say no, then I'll just have to keep you here.
00:38:39My way.
00:38:50You're going to imprison me?
00:38:52You left me no choice.
00:38:53I can't let you run away again.
00:38:55Six years.
00:38:57Every day I regret not seizing power sooner.
00:38:59If I dealt with Damien at the moment I met him,
00:39:01if I'd taken control of the company earlier,
00:39:03would you still have disappeared?
00:39:04That's all in the past!
00:39:07Is it?
00:39:08Then why treat me anonymously?
00:39:10Why not just let me die?
00:39:12Because you still love me, don't you?
00:39:22Let go of me.
00:39:30Have you lost your mind?
00:39:32Yes.
00:39:33I lost my mind a long time ago.
00:39:42Your body's always been honest.
00:39:45Tell me, in these six years,
00:39:47has anyone else touched you?
00:39:49I know they haven't.
00:39:51Because you're mine.
00:39:52I'll give you one week
00:39:53to decide whether you want to be with me again.
00:39:57There's food in the fridge.
00:39:58Your room is the first door on the left upstairs.
00:40:01Clothes in the closet.
00:40:02The housekeeper comes twice a day.
00:40:03Use the land phone if you need to call anyone.
00:40:05I'm not cutting you off from the outside world.
00:40:08But you will never walk out of this house.
00:40:13Eleanor.
00:40:13The best hunters always appear as prey.
00:40:20This time.
00:40:22You're going to beg to be my prey.
00:40:40Be a good girl and stay by by my side.
00:40:45Serena.
00:40:47You say you don't care about me.
00:40:49But you kept this all along.
00:40:50What do you really want?
00:41:16Eleanor?
00:41:18Eleanor?
00:41:22I'm dreaming about you again.
00:41:25Eleanor, I've missed you so much.
00:41:29If this is a dream, let me sleep a little longer.
00:41:35All these years you were gone.
00:41:37Did you dream of me too?
00:41:51I'm not letting you leave again.
00:41:54This time, even if the whole world crumbles, you stay by my side.
00:41:59Uh, wait!
00:42:01Sorry, I was half as asleep. I thought...
00:42:08Why can you accept me in your dreams but not in reality?
00:42:12Serena, there were so many misunderstandings back then.
00:42:15Why won't you let me explain?
00:42:18I'm sorry.
00:42:25You never need to apologize to me.
00:42:31There's a banquet tonight.
00:42:33A good chance to get you some fresh air.
00:42:36Why?
00:42:37I thought you weren't letting me leave this house.
00:42:40Probably because I can never truly be cruel to you.
00:42:45A driver will pick you up later.
00:42:47See you tonight.
00:42:55Eleanor, I'm not the girl you remember anymore.
00:42:58Will you still like me?
00:42:59The way I am now?
00:43:18Well, well, if it isn't the little slut who got kicked out of the Smith family, got the nerve to
00:43:23show your face again?
00:43:24Long time.
00:43:26Your hand's nearly crippled and you're still coming at me?
00:43:29You little bitch!
00:43:30This is all your fault!
00:43:31If you hadn't seduced Eleanor, she never would have hated me!
00:43:33My family never would have been ruined!
00:43:35It's all because of you!
00:43:36Are you saying Eleanor destroyed your family's business for me?
00:43:41What's there to be proud of?
00:43:42So what if she did?
00:43:44She still threw you away!
00:43:46You're nothing but a disposable toy!
00:44:01You bitch!
00:44:02I'll kill you!
00:44:06Chloe!
00:44:07Bob!
00:44:07Where the hell did you come from, you filthy slut?
00:44:09How dare you lay a hand on my wife?
00:44:11Get this whore out of here!
00:44:13No!
00:44:13Have her stripped naked and thrown out!
00:44:15You filthy slut!
00:44:16I'll teach you a lesson!
00:44:22Who are you throwing out?
00:44:34Who did you say you were going to teach a lesson?
00:44:44Miss Smith!
00:44:45A myth misunderstanding.
00:44:47All a misunderstanding.
00:44:50You bitch!
00:44:52Apologize to Miss Smith right now!
00:44:57Was my last punishment not enough?
00:44:59How dare you show your face in front of her again?
00:45:02Miss Smith!
00:45:03I've been far too lenient!
00:45:05I'll take her away right now!
00:45:06She won't bother you again, I swear!
00:45:09Do you have any idea who she is?
00:45:10The head of the Smith Empire.
00:45:12You stupid woman!
00:45:13I worked for months to get into this event, and you've ruined it!
00:45:16I'll break your legs when we get home.
00:45:20The little girl's grown up, yes.
00:45:23I'm not the girl who cried at a single harsh word and ran away.
00:45:27Now I'm...
00:45:27Miss Smith, finally managed to catch you.
00:45:30I was hoping we could talk about the overseas acquisition.
00:45:32Go ahead.
00:45:33I'll wait.
00:45:34Wait for me in the VIP lounge upstairs.
00:45:36I'll come find you when I'm done.
00:45:50Serena?
00:45:59What is this supposed to mean?
00:46:01You like it?
00:46:02A reward from me.
00:46:05All these years I was gone, you took over the Smith Empire, destroyed Chloe's family.
00:46:11Today I realized you did so much more than I ever knew, and I just kept hiding from you.
00:46:24I am sorry.
00:46:28I never need to apologize all of this.
00:46:30What if I told you I'm very different from the Serena in your memories?
00:46:34Would that make you sad?
00:46:37What does it matter?
00:46:38You'll always be my Serena.
00:46:40You always said my body was honest.
00:46:42What about yours?
00:46:43My body's telling me it wants you.
00:46:47Really?
00:46:50Really?
00:47:17Good morning.
00:47:19Good morning.
00:47:28Last night.
00:47:30Last night you were incredible.
00:47:39So are you my prey or my hunter?
00:47:46What do you think?
00:47:56Serena!
00:47:57You're finally back!
00:47:58When I heard you were back in the country, I've been looking everywhere for you!
00:48:05How did you find this place?
00:48:09It's okay, Eleanor.
00:48:10I can handle this.
00:48:15So, what do you want?
00:48:17Serena, sweetheart, please, leave Eleanor.
00:48:24Why?
00:48:24Your sisters.
00:48:26This is incest.
00:48:27No one will ever bless this.
00:48:29And Landon will never allow it!
00:48:30So six years ago, this is what you thought too, isn't it?
00:48:37After everything I've done, people still keep trying to tear us apart.
00:48:41Is Serena going to be swayed by her again?
00:48:43You called me shameless.
00:48:45Told me to leave.
00:48:47That's what you really thought.
00:48:49No.
00:48:50No, I didn't want to.
00:48:53It was Landon.
00:48:55He threatened me.
00:48:57He said if you didn't leave, I'd have to go and pay back all the money.
00:49:02I had nothing.
00:49:03I didn't know what to do.
00:49:05Serena, these six years, I've thought about you every single day.
00:49:10Every day I've hated myself for being so weak.
00:49:14Enough.
00:49:18You sacrificed your own daughter for money.
00:49:23What gives you the right to stand here and say you missed her?
00:49:26No, I was doing it for her own good!
00:49:28You keep saying it was for her own good, but did you ever ask what she wanted?
00:49:32Did you ever ask how she survived these six years?
00:49:37Six years ago, I was weak.
00:49:39I couldn't protect her.
00:49:40That's why she left.
00:49:42But now, I'm never letting go again.
00:49:48Mom, this time, I'm not letting go of her hand either.
00:49:53Do you have any idea how hard this is going to be?
00:49:56Landon will never agree.
00:49:57Loving her is enough.
00:49:59I don't need anyone's permission.
00:50:04Fine, I hope you're ready for the fallout.
00:50:13Serena, I'm sorry.
00:50:22It's okay.
00:50:23I'm here.
00:50:29What the hell did you just say?
00:50:30Boss, Chloe leaked intimate photos of you and Serena to three major media outlets.
00:50:34They're spreading online.
00:50:34Our stock is in free fall.
00:50:35Kill it.
00:50:36Whatever it costs.
00:50:43What's going on?
00:50:44Our relationship has been exposed.
00:50:51What's so funny?
00:50:53Look at you.
00:50:54All these years, and you're still terrified of anyone finding out.
00:50:58That's not it.
00:50:59I'm not afraid of people knowing.
00:51:00I'm afraid of you getting hurt.
00:51:02Eleanor, from the moment I fell in love with you, I stopped caring what anyone else thinks.
00:51:07The only thing I care about is you.
00:51:13Fine.
00:51:14I'm calling a press conference.
00:51:15I'm announcing our relationship publicly.
00:51:17No.
00:51:17It's too dangerous right now.
00:51:19Six years ago, I was a coward.
00:51:21I watched you leave and did nothing.
00:51:23This time, I'm not backing down.
00:51:28Okay.
00:51:29I'll stand with you.
00:51:35Miss Smith, are the rumors about you and your stepsister true?
00:51:38As the Smith heir, did you force her or did she seduce you for the family fortune?
00:51:42Does your father know about this?
00:51:44Is this a case of family incest?
00:51:48She didn't seduce me.
00:51:50Serena and I are in a loving relationship.
00:51:52She's not my sister.
00:51:54We share no blood.
00:51:55She is the woman I love.
00:51:57Six years ago, we were too young.
00:51:59My cowardly let her vanish from this city.
00:52:01Everyone called our love a mistake.
00:52:03But now I finally understand.
00:52:05Loving her is not a sin.
00:52:07No one has the right to judge us.
00:52:09You can report this.
00:52:10You can curse my name.
00:52:12You can dig up my past.
00:52:13But I will not back down again.
00:52:16Serena, we can finally be together.
00:52:19Out in the open.
00:52:21This time, I won't back down either.
00:52:36Have you lost your mind?
00:52:37Spouting that nonsense in front of reporters.
00:52:40The entire business world is laughing at us.
00:52:42They're laughing at you.
00:52:44Not me.
00:52:45I've already buried the media coverage.
00:52:47But hear me clearly.
00:52:48If you so much as breathe near that woman again,
00:52:51I'll erase her from existence.
00:52:52I got rid of her once before.
00:52:54This time, I'll make sure...
00:52:55If you lay a single finger on her,
00:52:58I will take everything from you.
00:53:00Are you threatening me?
00:53:01No.
00:53:03I'm stating a fact.
00:53:20You fought with your father again?
00:53:22I should have fought him to the end six years ago.
00:53:27This time,
00:53:30no one is taking you away from me.
00:53:33Miss Smith,
00:53:34the press conference results were unexpected.
00:53:36Despite the controversy,
00:53:37support is stronger than we anticipated.
00:53:39Online polls show 87% of respondents
00:53:41believe this is a private matter,
00:53:42not something to be condemned.
00:53:44Love shouldn't be hankled by gender or status.
00:53:45Mr. Landing explicitly stated this morning
00:53:47that he does not approve of the relationship.
00:53:49He even implied Miss Moore has ulterior motives.
00:53:52Ignore him.
00:53:53Keep shaping public opinions.
00:53:55Legal letters to every negative report.
00:53:57Sue every outlet that reposted the photos.
00:53:59All of them?
00:54:00That could be hundreds of outlets?
00:54:02Is that a problem?
00:54:03No, ma'am.
00:54:03Right away.
00:54:06Boss,
00:54:07the European Division's facing a hostile makeover.
00:54:09Core data leaked.
00:54:10They want you in London immediately.
00:54:13Why isn't she picking up?
00:54:19Boss,
00:54:19the jet's ready.
00:54:20Wheels up in two hours.
00:54:21London's all set.
00:54:22Sweetheart,
00:54:23trouble overseas.
00:54:24I need to fly out.
00:54:25Take care of yourself.
00:54:26Don't read the news.
00:54:27Wait for me.
00:54:28Oh, God.
00:54:43Dr. Garcia,
00:54:44a moment,
00:54:45please.
00:54:47Go ahead.
00:54:49You and your stepsister,
00:54:50the Smith Airness,
00:54:51everyone knows.
00:54:52I'm curious,
00:54:52what gives a person trapped
00:54:54in an infectious relationship
00:54:55the right to stand here
00:54:56and lecture us on psychological health?
00:54:58A psychologist is supposed to be objective,
00:55:00detached.
00:55:01Look at you.
00:55:02You can't even get your own shit together
00:55:03and you want to treat patients?
00:55:04Someone like this
00:55:05has no right to stand on this stage.
00:55:22Dr. Garcia,
00:55:23for your safety,
00:55:23let us escort you out this way.
00:55:27Thank you,
00:55:27but I can handle this myself.
00:55:36I respect the question.
00:55:37You say my relationship is pathological.
00:55:39So let me ask everyone here,
00:55:41what exactly is healthy love?
00:55:43Is it only healthy if it's straight?
00:55:45Only valid if you come
00:55:46from the same background?
00:55:48Who gets to draw that line?
00:55:49These are six years
00:55:50of my clinical data.
00:55:52Out of 3,700 PTSD patients,
00:55:5460% were too afraid to seek help,
00:55:56silenced by stigma and prejudice.
00:55:58Love and trauma
00:55:59share one fundamental truth.
00:56:00Neither can heal
00:56:01until it's truly see seen.
00:56:02Love knows no borders.
00:56:03You've all heard
00:56:04guarding its owner's grave
00:56:05for 10 years,
00:56:05refusing to leave.
00:56:06Is that dog's love pathological?
00:56:08I've never taught a single patient
00:56:09how to become normal.
00:56:10I tell them your feelings are real.
00:56:12Your pain owes no one an explanation.
00:56:14And your love,
00:56:15your love deserves respect.
00:56:18I stand with Dr. Garcia.
00:56:24Sir, you're not a student
00:56:25of this department.
00:56:25Come with us, please.
00:56:34Serena.
00:56:36William, what brings you here?
00:56:38I just need to talk to you
00:56:40about something.
00:56:41What is it?
00:56:43Just now,
00:56:45someone filed a review request
00:56:46with the Psychology Association.
00:56:48They're targeting your personal life.
00:56:49This could impact your career.
00:56:51So?
00:56:57If you want to get past this review,
00:56:59you could marry me.
00:57:07Not a real marriage,
00:57:08in name only.
00:57:09It'd make the review
00:57:10a hell of a lot easier.
00:57:11I know you love Eleanor.
00:57:12I just want to help.
00:57:13William,
00:57:13you're a good man.
00:57:15But I can't accept.
00:57:16Why not?
00:57:16This is your best option.
00:57:17I can shield you
00:57:18from all the negative press.
00:57:19Because it would be
00:57:19deeply unfair to you.
00:57:21And a betrayal to Eleanor.
00:57:23You're always putting
00:57:23everyone else first.
00:57:24Never wanting to be
00:57:25a burden on anyone.
00:57:26It's more than that.
00:57:27I'm doing this for my own good.
00:57:28What do you mean?
00:57:29Because now I finally get it.
00:57:31Hiding solves nothing.
00:57:32If you want something,
00:57:33you face it head on.
00:57:34So this time,
00:57:35I'm not running.
00:57:43Five days, Eleanor.
00:57:45When are you coming back?
00:57:46I'd say I missed you
00:57:47and you'd be there now.
00:58:05Who's there?
00:58:18Eleanor!
00:58:20Hey, sweetheart.
00:58:23I'm back.
00:58:30Hey, look at me.
00:58:32I'm fine.
00:58:33The blood, most of it anyway.
00:58:35Not mine.
00:58:36What the hell happened?
00:58:38On the way back,
00:58:40rivals set a trap.
00:58:45Does it hurt?
00:58:48Don't cry.
00:58:50Just a scratch.
00:58:58So you do care.
00:59:00Scared you to tears, huh?
00:59:02I've always cared from six years ago
00:59:04right up to this second
00:59:05every single day.
00:59:06Eleanor,
00:59:07you were in love with me
00:59:08from the very beginning,
00:59:09weren't you?
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:10From the first moment I saw you,
00:59:12my heart was yours.
00:59:13But somehow,
00:59:14all I ever do is make you cry.
00:59:16I'm sorry.
00:59:16No.
00:59:17Don't apologize.
00:59:17You're back.
00:59:18That's all that matters.
00:59:19I promise.
00:59:20From now on,
00:59:20only smiles.
00:59:21Trust me.
00:59:22Soon everything gets settled
00:59:24for good.
00:59:29From now on,
00:59:31we face everything together.
00:59:33No more going it alone.
00:59:35I can't lose you.
00:59:38Okay.
00:59:46This seat was always meant for you.
00:59:48I knew it the first time
00:59:49you walked into my study,
00:59:50ten years old,
00:59:51helping me sort files.
00:59:53Didn't I always say so?
00:59:55You won.
00:59:56The company is yours.
00:59:58Before your mother died,
01:00:00she said you'd be
01:00:01ten times more ruthless than me.
01:00:03She was right.
01:00:05But I never imagined
01:00:07you'd destroy me
01:00:09for her.
01:00:10Father,
01:00:11you still don't get it.
01:00:13It's not that I can't let you go.
01:00:14It's that you wouldn't
01:00:15stop pushing me.
01:00:16Serena,
01:00:17she's my line in the sand.
01:00:18I went easy on you before
01:00:19because I thought
01:00:20you'd finally come around.
01:00:21You can take the company,
01:00:22take back your power,
01:00:23but you never should have
01:00:23gone after her.
01:00:27I will never give her up.
01:00:29Not ever.
01:00:37I will never give her up.
01:00:38I will never give her up.
01:00:39I will never give her up.
01:00:40I will never give her up.
01:00:40I will never give her up.
01:00:40I will never give her up.
01:00:40I will never give her up.
01:00:41I will never give her up.
01:00:41I will never give her up.
01:00:41I will never give her up.
