Transcript

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

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

00:00:14On 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, filled with guilt and despair.

00:00:25Baby, I'm sorry. Mommy failed to protect you.

00:00:30I 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.

00:00:43She was alive.

00:00:48A 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.

00:01:24Isolette, 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. He staggered back, angry and shocked, having never seen me resist like this.

00:01:47You're drunk! What 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.

00:02:01Belle knows Caden best, because she is his mother.

00:02:05The crowd erupted in an uproar. Belle turned pale, and Grayson froze completely.

00:02:12I put down the microphone,

00:02:18hook Effie's hand, and walked toward the gate.

00:02:23Security! Stop them! Don't let them leave!

00:02:34Two 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 this?

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.

00:02:56Isalad!

00:02:56You will pay for this!

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

00:03:01You humiliated me in public!

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

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

00:03:09the chain he used to imprison me.

00:03:12I'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.

00:03:28I only want Effie.

00:03:29Belle hurried over, pretending to be gentle and persuading me not to be impulsive.

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

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

00:03:42Grayson is yours.

00:03:43No returns.

00:03:46Grayson 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?

00:04:05A 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.

00:04:28Checked 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, I logged into my email with a disposable phone.

00:04:55The account was Valkyrie, X7, full of top institute invitations.

00:05:00From today, Isalek is dead.

00:05:03Only Valkyrie lives.

00:05:05Arland Roth, CEO of Roth Airlines,

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

00:05:12Isalek, I know you are Valkyrie.

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

00:05:18I 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.

00:05:39They'll launch it next month.

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

00:05:45and only calmed down completely

00:05:47when 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.

00:06:15Mommy, look at the rocket I drew.

00:06:24Make the angle sharper

00:06:26to 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.

00:06:51We'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,

00:07:15and engineering drawings scattered

00:07:17all 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.

00:07:29Arland 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.

00:07:45Come with me.

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

00:07:47who shocked the industry.

00:07:48Why do you think

00:07:49I'd drop everything to help you?

00:07:51I turned to leave,

00:07:53but Arland held my wrist firmly,

00:07:54sincere.

00:07:56I 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.

00:08:10I promise you.

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

00:08:13I looked at the drawing,

00:08:15picked up a pen,

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

00:08:18in five minutes,

00:08:20saving millions

00:08:21and six months.

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

00:08:26Belle is releasing

00:08:27Phoenix X7.

00:08:30Yes.

00:08:31It's your original design

00:08:33that was stolen years ago.

00:08:37She stole my husband,

00:08:39and now they want to steal

00:08:40my designs and dreams!

00:08:43Join me.

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

00:08:47I'm in.

00:08:48You really want to fight

00:08:49the entire Lancaster family?

00:08:50My eyes were cold.

00:08:52I would get back everything

00:08:54Grayson and Belle

00:08:55had snatched away from me.

00:08:58I hire you as

00:08:59Senior Project Director,

00:09:00Hidden Identity,

00:09:01High Salary,

00:09:02Confidential.

00:09:03I'll prepare the contract

00:09:04right away.

00:09:05It can take an effect

00:09:06tomorrow.

00:09:08The sooner the better.

00:09:10I don't have time

00:09:11for them to react.

00:09:13I updated my

00:09:14encrypted portfolio,

00:09:15under the alias Sophia,

00:09:17gradually taking back

00:09:18my professional status.

00:09:20The school nurse

00:09:21called suddenly,

00:09:22anxiously telling me

00:09:23Caden collapsed

00:09:24from a high fever

00:09:24and kept calling for me.

00:09:26Caden is in critical condition.

00:09:28Calling for you.

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

00:09:29Contact his biological parents.

00:09:31Call 911 in an emergency.

00:09:33Don'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

00:09:49first thing.

00:09:51Isolette,

00:09:51where the hell are you?

00:09:53Come back now!

00:09:54I blocked all numbers,

00:09:56completely cutting off contact

00:09:58with the Lancaster family.

00:10:05Mommy, we don't have to

00:10:06see them anymore.

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

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

00:10:16Late at night,

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

00:10:19She had a 104.2

00:10:21Fahrenheit high fever,

00:10:22the fatal illness

00:10:23from my past life.

00:10:24Effie!

00:10:26Hold on!

00:10:27I had no money

00:10:28and no fever medicine.

00:10:29I had no choice

00:10:30but to call Grayson.

00:10:36Grayson,

00:10:37please answer the phone.

00:10:38Effie is dying!

00:10:41He hung up again and again.

00:10:43The 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

00:10:53with my last bit of cash.

00:10:59Driver!

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,

00:11:06target.

00:11:07Arland rushed to help

00:11:08immediately after hearing

00:11:09the news.

00:11:13Don't worry.

00:11:15I've arraigned the best doctors

00:11:16in the hospital

00:11:17to save her.

00:11:18I waited outside

00:11:19the emergency room

00:11:20all night without sleep.

00:11:22I refused to

00:11:23loo my daughter again.

00:11:24I'll cover all costs.

00:11:27Just stay with her.

00:11:34Thank you, Arland.

00:11:36I will repay

00:11:37this kindness.

00:11:42Effie finally survived

00:11:43and was transferred.

00:11:45Another half hour

00:11:47and we really

00:11:47couldn't save her.

00:11:50I ran into Grayson

00:11:52gently feeding

00:11:53Caden porridge

00:11:54in 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

00:12:13to act up.

00:12:14Exactly.

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

00:12:24was dying in the ER.

00:12:25You were enjoying

00:12:27enjoying yourselves.

00:12:29Effie is in ward 402.

00:12:32Acute respiratory failure.

00:12:34She nearly died

00:12:36in a taxi last night.

00:12:40You?

00:12:42Why didn't you

00:12:43tell me earlier?

00:12:44I called countless times.

00:12:47You hung up!

00:12:48Turned off your phone!

00:12:55Stayed with your

00:12:56mistress and

00:12:56bastard son.

00:13:01You 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 and

00:13:21wanted to see

00:13:22Effie.

00:13:23We stopped him

00:13:24holdly.

00:13:26You don't deserve

00:13:27to be a father.

00:13:29Isolette!

00:13:30Haven't you

00:13:31caused 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 Effie

00:13:40again,

00:13:40I'll destroy

00:13:41everything you

00:13:42have.

00:13:43I mean

00:13:44every word.

00:13:47Belle turned

00:13:48pale,

00:13:48grabbed

00:13:48Grayson and

00:13:49left.

00:13:50I turned

00:13:51and walked

00:13:52into the

00:13:52ward.

00:13:55Effie

00:13:56was already

00:13:57awake,

00:13:57staring blankly

00:13:59at the

00:13:59ceiling.

00:14:00Mommy,

00:14:01did I do

00:14:01something wrong?

00:14:02Daddy only

00:14:03likes

00:14:04Caden.

00:14:07It's

00:14:08not your

00:14:09fault.

00:14:10Daddy

00:14:10just doesn't

00:14:11know how

00:14:11to cherish

00:14:12you.

00:14:13Caden

00:14:14said I'm

00:14:14illegitimate,

00:14:15a mistake.

00:14:20whoever taught

00:14:21him those

00:14:21words is

00:14:22the mistake.

00:14:24You are a

00:14:25miracle.

00:14:27The nurse

00:14:28said time was

00:14:28up.

00:14:30I stepped out

00:14:31and texted

00:14:32Arlen,

00:14:32send me

00:14:33Skyline Specs,

00:14:35I'll destroy

00:14:35them.

00:14:39Welcome

00:14:40back,

00:14:40Valkyrie.

00:14:48Two days

00:14:49later,

00:14:49Effie was

00:14:50discharged.

00:14:52I drove her

00:14:53back to the

00:14:54penthouse for

00:14:54her things.

00:14:55I chose

00:14:56Saturday morning

00:14:57when Grayson

00:14:58usually took

00:14:58Caden

00:14:59golfing.

00:15:06But when

00:15:06I walked

00:15:07in,

00:15:07they were

00:15:08all in

00:15:08the living

00:15:09room.

00:15:22Just as

00:15:23Effie headed

00:15:24hallway,

00:15:25Caden

00:15:25shouted,

00:15:25Target

00:15:27and shoved

00:15:27the controller.

00:15:31The

00:15:32plane hit

00:36:22normally.

00:36:26The data

00:36:29Good

00:36:29thing I'm

00:36:30your friend,

00:36:32The first

00:36:32round of

00:36:32the space

00:36:33race.

00:36:34I was

00:36:35competing

00:36:36wearing a

00:36:36baseball cap

00:36:37and black

00:36:48of a

00:36:48Martian

00:36:49storm on

00:36:49the base.

00:36:51Skyline's

00:36:51glass dome

00:36:52is completely

00:36:53shattered.

00:36:54Score,

00:37:02Sophia?

00:37:03Go check

00:37:04on Valkyrie.

00:37:07I can't

00:37:08find anything.

00:37:09All the

00:37:10information is

00:37:10encrypted.

00:37:12She must

00:37:13be in this

00:37:14building.

00:37:15Dig

00:37:15through the

00:37:16earth if

00:37:16you have

00:37:16to.

00:37:17Find

00:37:17her.

00:37:20I stood

00:37:21up and

00:37:21took

00:37:21Effie's

00:37:21hand.

00:37:22I walked

00:37:22past

00:37:23Grayson.

00:37:23Mommy,

00:37:24did we

00:37:24win?

00:37:25This is

00:37:26just the

00:37:26beginning.

00:37:27Let them

00:37:28keep

00:37:28guessing.

00:37:31After the

00:37:32big win in

00:37:32the first

00:37:32round of

00:37:33the space

00:37:33race, I

00:37:35checked

00:37:35into a

00:37:35hotel near

00:37:36the convention

00:37:36center with

00:37:37Effie.

00:37:41Late at

00:37:41night, my

00:37:42daughter was

00:37:43fast asleep.

00:37:44Harper sent

00:37:44me the

00:37:45detailed data

00:37:45on K-Tech

00:37:46sensors.

00:37:47To save

00:37:48money, Bell

00:37:49had lowered

00:37:49the safety

00:37:50threshold by

00:37:5040%.

00:37:51The thermal

00:37:52runaway

00:37:53threshold is

00:37:53far below

00:37:54industry

00:37:54standards.

00:37:55In the

00:37:56Martian

00:37:56environment,

00:37:57this system

00:37:57is doomed.

00:37:58Got it.

00:37:59I'm going

00:37:59downstairs to

00:38:00get some

00:38:00coffee.

00:38:03The

00:38:04VIP lounge

00:38:05was brightly

00:38:05lit.

00:38:06Grayson and

00:38:07Bell were

00:38:07sitting inside

00:38:08with a

00:38:08photographer

00:38:09taking work

00:38:10photos of

00:38:10them.

00:38:12Bell

00:38:12deliberately

00:38:13showed off

00:38:13her diamond

00:38:14ring to

00:38:14the camera,

00:38:15smiling like

00:38:16a victor.

00:38:17Five years

00:38:18ago, this

00:38:18would have

00:38:19crushed me.

00:38:21Now, it

00:38:22just made

00:38:22me sick.

00:38:25I turned

00:38:25to leave

00:38:26with my

00:38:26coffee.

00:38:27Grayson

00:38:28suddenly looked

00:38:28up and

00:38:28locked his

00:38:29eyes on

00:38:29me.

00:38:30Stop.

00:38:32You.

00:38:34I hurried

00:38:35back to my

00:38:36room.

00:38:38Just as I

00:38:38closed the

00:38:39door, my

00:38:42from Grayson.

00:38:45Your

00:38:45mother's

00:38:46birthday is

00:38:46coming up.

00:38:47She hasn't

00:38:48you know?

00:38:50This is

00:38:51your last

00:38:51chance.

00:38:52My blood

00:38:52ran cold.

00:38:53He knew

00:38:54my mother

00:38:54was my

00:38:55only

00:38:55weakness.

00:38:55He was

00:38:56using her

00:38:56to threaten

00:38:57me.

00:38:57I deleted

00:38:58the text

00:38:58and blocked

00:38:59his number.

00:39:01Effie

00:39:01turned over

00:39:01in her

00:39:02sleep,

00:39:02murmuring

00:39:03something.

00:39:05Tomorrow,

00:39:05I'm not

00:39:06just going

00:39:06to win

00:39:06the competition.

00:39:08I'm going

00:39:08to crush

00:39:09the reputation

00:39:10and career

00:39:10you care

00:39:11about most.

00:39:12You won't

00:39:13get another

00:39:13last chance.

00:39:17The second

00:39:18round finals,

00:39:20the convention

00:39:20center was

00:39:21packed.

00:39:22I wore a

00:39:22mask and

00:39:23a baseball

00:39:23cap,

00:39:24using a

00:39:24voice changer

00:39:25to hide

00:39:25my identity.

00:39:27Our base

00:39:28uses the

00:39:32ensuring

00:39:33the safety

00:39:33of every

00:39:34colonist.

00:39:35I waited

00:39:36until she

00:39:36said the

00:39:36word

00:39:37sensor,

00:39:37then I

00:39:38hit enter.

00:39:39Escobar.

00:39:40Ms. Escobar,

00:39:42what is

00:39:42the

00:39:42thermal

00:39:43turnout

00:39:43threshold

00:39:44of the

00:39:44K-TEC

00:39:44sensors?

00:39:46That's

00:39:47a trade

00:39:48secret.

00:39:49A trade

00:39:49secret?

00:39:50Your

00:39:51sensors have

00:39:51a 4%

00:39:52drift rate.

00:39:53In the

00:39:54Martian

00:39:54environment,

00:39:55that means

00:39:55death.

00:39:56On the

00:39:57big screen,

00:39:57the sensor

00:39:58data began

00:39:59to drift.

00:39:59Oxygen

00:40:00concentration

00:40:01errors grew.

00:40:02Temperature

00:40:03went out

00:40:03of control.

00:40:04Plants

00:40:05wilted.

00:40:06The entire

00:40:07system collapsed

00:40:08within three

00:40:08weeks.

00:40:12Ms. Escobar,

00:40:13did you know

00:40:13these sensors

00:40:14were faulty?

00:40:15That's your

00:40:15signature on

00:40:16the purchase

00:40:16contract.

00:40:17Turn off

00:40:18the screen.

00:40:19Turn it

00:40:19off now.

00:40:20I switched

00:40:21to my own

00:40:21design.

00:40:22Honeycomb

00:40:22ecological

00:40:31Perfect score.

00:40:32Without a

00:40:33doubt,

00:40:33perfect score.

00:40:36Grayson stood

00:40:37up and

00:40:37stared intently

00:40:38in my

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

00:40:44to Effie

00:40:44was.

00:40:46It's you.

00:40:48It's actually

00:40:49you.

00:40:49I stood on

00:40:50the podium

00:40:50holding the

00:40:51gold trophy.

00:40:53Effida waved

00:40:54happily to the

00:40:54crowd beside me.

00:40:56The mask

00:40:57hid my face,

00:40:59but 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

00:41:16a 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

00:41:22and glanced

00:41:22at it.

00:41:24I heard your

00:41:25procurement

00:41:26director doesn't

00:41:27even understand

00:41:28what sensor

00:41:28drift rate

00:41:29rate means.

00:41:30I'm not

00:41:31interested in a

00:41:32company like

00:41:32that.

00:41:33What did

00:41:33you say?

00:41:34Say that

00:41:34again!

00:41:42Darren,

00:41:44shut up.

00:41:45I took

00:41:46Effie's hand

00:41:46and walked

00:41:47past him.

00:41:48Effie looked

00:41:48back at him,

00:41:49then turned

00:41:49away and kept

00:41:50walking.

00:41:51There was

00:41:52nothing in her

00:41:52eyes, like

00:41:53looking at a

00:41:54stranger.

00:41:56Did you

00:41:56just give him

00:41:57another heart

00:41:57attack?

00:42:00Hold this

00:42:01for me.

00:42:01It's heavy.

00:42:05Of course

00:42:06a gold trophy

00:42:07is heavy.

00:42:08You deserve

00:42:09it.

00:42:09After the

00:42:10competition,

00:42:10Harper told me

00:42:11Grayson's lawyer

00:42:12wanted to meet

00:42:13to discuss

00:42:13asset division.

00:42:15He's been

00:42:15looking at the

00:42:16calendar 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

00:42:21pause the

00:42:21divorce.

00:42:22I was

00:42:23sitting in

00:42:23the conference

00:42:24room.

00:42:24The door

00:42:25opened and

00:42:26Grayson and

00:42:26his lawyer

00:42:27walked in.

00:42:28I know

00:42:28you hate

00:42:29me, but

00:42:30the past

00:42:30five years

00:42:31weren't fake.

00:42:32Effie needs

00:42:33a complete

00:42:33home.

00:42:37Do you

00:42:38want to

00:42:38know why

00:42:38I go by

00:42:39Sophia?

00:42:40Sophia is

00:42:41my real

00:42:41name.

00:42:42Eastole

00:42:42Lancaster,

00:42:43you gave

00:42:44me that

00:43:03the one

00:43:04who tore

00:43:04apart that

00:43:04complete

00:43:05home,

00:43:05not me.

00:43:06Just as

00:43:07we reached

00:43:07an impasse,

00:43:08Belle burst

00:43:09into the

00:43:09law firm.

00:43:11Caden

00:43:12followed behind

00:43:12her,

00:43:13crying with

00:43:14snot all

00:43:14over his

00:43:15face.

00:43:16I want

00:43:18I don't

00:43:25stomach

00:43:25hurts!

00:43:26It hurts

00:43:27so much!

00:43:29Grayson

00:43:29looked at

00:43:30Belle,

00:43:30then at

00:43:31me.

00:43:31His eyes

00:43:32wavered.

00:43:33For the

00:43:33first time,

00:43:34he actually

00:43:35looked uncertain.

00:43:37Let's talk

00:43:37another day.

00:43:41He

00:43:42chooses

00:43:42her every

00:43:43Every

00:43:43single

00:43:44I picked

00:43:44up the

00:43:45diamond ring

00:43:45on the

00:43:45table,

00:43:47the one

00:43:47he bought

00:43:58need it

00:43:58anymore.

00:43:59Never

00:44:05Grayson

00:44:05eventually

00:44:06came back

00:44:06to the

00:44:07law firm

00:55:31Mom,

00:55:32apologize.

00:55:36I'm

00:55:37sorry.

00:55:39I took

00:55:40Effie's

00:55:40hand and

00:55:41walked out

00:55:42of the

00:55:42hall.

00:55:42Behind us

00:55:43were whispering

00:55:44parents and

00:55:45the livid

00:55:45Lancasters.

00:55:47Mommy,

00:55:48why doesn't

00:55:48Grandma like

00:55:49me?

00:55:52Because she

00:55:53doesn't know

00:55:53you.

00:55:54When she gets

00:55:55to know you,

00:55:56she will like

00:55:56you.

00:55:57Really?

00:55:59Really.

00:56:00But not

00:56:01everyone deserves

00:56:02to know you.

00:56:11The next

00:56:11day,

00:56:12Belle ran

00:56:12to the

00:56:13school holding

00:56:13several pieces

00:56:14of paper,

00:56:15claiming they

00:56:15were cheat

00:56:16sheets found

00:56:16under Effie's

00:56:17seat.

00:56:18This is the

00:56:19evidence.

00:56:19She wrote the

00:56:20answers on

00:56:20these papers

00:56:21and brought

00:56:21them into

00:56:22the exam.

00:56:23Mrs. Carson,

00:56:24do you have

00:56:24anything to say?

00:56:25You placed

00:56:26these papers

00:56:26there yourself,

00:56:27didn't you?

00:56:29How dare you

00:56:30falsely accuse

00:56:31me?

00:56:31Fine.

00:56:32Let's call

00:56:33the police.

00:56:34Let them

00:56:34analyze the

00:56:35handwriting and

00:56:36check if your

00:56:36fingerprints are

00:56:37on the papers.

00:56:39You,

00:56:40when you placed

00:56:41them under

00:56:41Effie's seat,

00:56:42you probably

00:56:43weren't wearing

00:56:43gloves.

00:56:48Mommy,

00:56:49didn't you say

00:56:50no one would

00:56:51find out?

00:56:52The whole room

00:56:52fell silent.

00:56:54The principal

00:56:54stared at Belle.

00:56:56Belle stared

00:56:56at Caden.

00:56:57I stared at

00:56:58Caden.

00:56:59Mrs. Escobar,

00:57:00please leave the

00:57:01school with your

00:57:01son.

00:57:02Await the

00:57:02investigation

00:57:03results.

00:57:04No,

00:57:04that's not how

00:57:05it happened.

00:57:06Caden,

00:57:06thank you for

00:57:07telling the

00:57:07truth.

00:57:08Even if it

00:57:09wasn't voluntary.

00:57:15After the

00:57:16cheating scandal,

00:57:17Caden was

00:57:18suspended from

00:57:18school.

00:57:22Effie's name

00:57:22was engraved

00:57:23on the school's

00:57:24honor wall.

00:57:25That evening,

00:57:27Grayson was

00:57:28waiting for me

00:57:28downstairs.

00:57:31He looked

00:57:32much older.

00:57:37My mother

00:57:38wants to see

00:57:38Effie.

00:57:40She's sick.

00:57:41The doctor

00:57:42says she has

00:57:42only a few

00:57:43months left.

00:57:47She wants to

00:57:48see Effie one

00:57:48last time.

00:57:52Even if she

00:57:53kneels down and

00:57:53apologize, I'm

00:57:54not sure I would

00:57:55agree.

00:57:58Grayson looked at

00:57:59me, then suddenly

00:58:00knelt down.

00:58:03Please, I've never

00:58:04begged you for

00:58:04anything.

00:58:07This one time, I'm

00:58:09begging you.

00:58:12Stand up.

00:58:13You look

00:58:14ridiculous kneeling

00:58:15here.

00:58:15You agree?

00:58:18I didn't agree.

00:58:26But I'm willing to

00:58:27negotiate.

00:58:30What conditions?

00:58:33First, Belle is

00:58:35not allowed to

00:58:36be at the

00:58:37estate.

00:58:38If she's

00:58:39there, we're

00:58:40not coming.

00:58:44Agreed.

00:58:46Second, Beatrice

00:58:47must apologize to

00:58:48Effie in public.

00:58:50Not a

00:58:51percentory apology.

00:58:53A sincere

00:58:54one.

00:58:56You know she

00:58:57would never-

00:58:57That's your

00:58:58problem.

00:58:59Not mine.

00:59:01Fine.

00:59:02I'll make her

00:59:02apologize.

00:59:03Third, when

00:59:04Effie doesn't

00:59:04want to call you

00:59:05daddy, you are

00:59:06not allowed to

00:59:06force her.

00:59:07She is my

00:59:08daughter!

00:59:08Then ask

00:59:09yourself, when

00:59:09have you ever

00:59:10acted like a

00:59:10father?

00:59:11I agree.

00:59:12All three

00:59:13conditions.

00:59:14I agree.

00:59:16Fine.

00:59:17Saturday at

00:59:18ten in the

00:59:18morning.

00:59:19We'll be

00:59:19there.

00:59:22I closed

00:59:22the door.

00:59:23Effie came out

00:59:24of her room.

00:59:29Effie, do

00:59:30you want to

00:59:30go see

00:59:30grandma?

00:59:32She yelled

00:59:32at me last

00:59:33time, but

00:59:34if she

00:59:35apologizes, I

00:59:36can forgive

00:59:36her.

00:59:41Okay.

00:59:42Then we'll

00:59:43go on

00:59:43Saturday.

00:59:50On the

00:59:51weekend, I

00:59:52took Effie to

00:59:52the Lancaster

00:59:53estate in

00:59:54Hudson Valley.

00:59:56Beatrice sat

00:59:57in a wheelchair,

00:59:58soaking up the

00:59:59sun in the

00:59:59garden.

01:00:01Effie walked

01:00:02up to her.

01:00:03Without a

01:00:04word, she

01:00:05handed her the

01:00:05honor certificate.

01:00:08grandma, you

01:00:10accused me of

01:00:10cheating last

01:00:11time.

01:00:12I forgive

01:00:12you.

01:00:14You

01:00:15forgive me?

01:00:16Yes, because

01:00:18mommy said

01:00:18forgiving others

01:00:19makes one

01:00:20happier.

01:00:21Oh, isn't

01:00:23this Isoleth?

01:00:24You got

01:00:25kicked out by

01:00:26my brother.

01:00:27What are you

01:00:27doing here?

01:00:28Here to

01:00:29freeload or

01:00:30to beg for

01:00:31money?

01:00:32Serafina, watch

01:00:33your words.

01:00:35What?

01:00:35Did I say

01:00:37something wrong?

01:00:38My mommy is

01:00:39an engineer.

01:00:41She's better

01:00:41than you.

01:00:42You can't even

01:00:44read engine and

01:00:44blueprints.

01:00:47What did you

01:00:48say?

01:00:49You little

01:00:49Serafina,

01:00:50enough.

01:00:53My daughter

01:00:54is right.

01:00:55You can't

01:00:56read blueprints

01:00:57and you can't

01:00:59read people's

01:00:59hearts either.

01:01:05At dinner,

01:01:06the long table

01:01:07was set with

01:01:08silverware and

01:01:08crystal glasses.

01:01:10Serafina sat

01:01:10at the head,

01:01:11deliberately not

01:01:12arranging seats

01:01:12for me or

01:01:13Effie.

01:01:15Sorry, the

01:01:16maid probably

01:01:16forgot.

01:01:17You can eat

01:01:18in the kitchen.

01:01:19There's space

01:01:19by the servants

01:01:20area.

01:01:22Get up.

01:01:27What?

01:01:27I said,

01:01:29get up.

01:01:31Who do you

01:01:32think you

01:01:32are?

01:01:33Because I am

01:01:34Effie's guardian.

01:01:35Because I am

01:01:36Beatrice's

01:01:36invited guest.

01:01:38Because in this

01:01:38family, you have

01:01:39nothing except the

01:01:40Lancaster name.

01:01:45I reached

01:01:45out, took

01:01:46her arm, and

01:01:47pulled her up.

01:01:49She stood up

01:01:50from the chair.

01:01:53Effie, sit

01:01:55here.

01:02:02I lifted

01:02:03Effie onto

01:02:04that seat, then

01:02:05sat down in the

01:02:06chair next to

01:02:07her.

01:02:08This seat

01:02:10belongs to

01:02:11Effie, from

01:02:12now on.

01:02:13Mom!

01:02:14Are you just

01:02:15gonna let her

01:02:16bully me like

01:02:17this?

01:02:18Sit down.

01:02:20Eat.

01:02:22Stop

01:02:23embarrassing

01:02:24yourself.

01:02:25Grayson sat

01:02:26across the

01:02:27table, watching

01:02:27all of this

01:02:28in silence.

01:02:31Mommy, this

01:02:33chair is so

01:02:34tall.

01:02:34You deserve

01:02:35to sit up

01:02:36high.

01:02:37You deserve

01:02:38the best things

01:02:39in the world.

01:02:40After dinner,

01:02:42Beatrice signaled

01:02:42for me to

01:02:43follow her to

01:02:43the study.

01:02:44Grayson tried to

01:02:45come along, but

01:02:46the old woman

01:02:46blocked him with

01:02:47her cane.

01:02:55Open it.

01:02:56I opened the

01:02:56wooden box.

01:02:57Inside were a

01:02:58yellow diary, an

01:02:59emerald brooch, and

01:03:00a photograph.

01:03:00A woman in a

01:03:01flight jacket stood

01:03:02in front of a

01:03:02B-17 bomber.

01:03:04Who is this?

01:03:05Your grandmother.

01:03:07She was a

01:03:08women's air

01:03:09force pilot during

01:03:10World War II.

01:03:12She flew B-17

01:03:14bombers.

01:03:15She was a top

01:03:16navigator and

01:03:17an engineer.

01:03:19I always thought

01:03:20she was just a

01:03:20servant of the

01:03:21Lancaster family.

01:03:22She was in love

01:03:24with Grayson's

01:03:24father, but she

01:03:26refused his

01:03:27proposal because

01:03:28she wouldn't give

01:03:29up her career.

01:03:31The Lancaster

01:03:32family owes her a

01:03:33lot.

01:03:36Grayson suddenly

01:03:37burst in.

01:03:40Mom, are you

01:03:41giving her money?

01:03:46Grayson, you

01:03:47measure everything

01:03:48by money.

01:03:49That's why you'll

01:03:50never know what

01:03:51you've truly lost.

01:03:54What have I

01:03:55lost?

01:03:58You've got a

01:03:58child and can

01:03:59barely afford food.

01:04:01I lost a

01:04:02nightmare.

01:04:06You lost your

01:04:07daughter's heart.

01:04:11The next morning,

01:04:12sunlight filtered

01:04:13through the curtains

01:04:14into the guest room.

01:04:16Effie was already

01:04:16awake, quietly

01:04:18counting the patterns

01:04:19on the carpet.

01:04:25You don't have to

01:04:26say anything if you

01:04:27don't want to.

01:04:28You are the master

01:04:29of your own voice.

01:04:31Okay, mommy.

01:04:36Come here,

01:04:37sweetheart.

01:04:37Let daddy give you

01:04:38a hug.

01:04:39Effie froze

01:04:39instantly, staring

01:04:40at his hands.

01:04:41She remembered being

01:04:42pushed away, being

01:04:43ignored.

01:04:44She screamed and

01:04:44dodged in fear.

01:04:46No!

01:04:46Go away!

01:04:53Your approval rating is

01:04:54too low.

01:04:55She's just cranky from

01:04:57waking up.

01:04:58All kids are like

01:04:58this.

01:05:00She's not having a

01:05:01mood.

01:05:02She recalls what you've

01:05:03done to her.

01:05:07Have some bacon,

01:05:08Effie.

01:05:09Your favorite.

01:05:10She can't eat bacon!

01:05:11Enough!

01:05:13He slammed down

01:05:14his fork and stormed

01:05:17out of the dining

01:05:18room.

01:05:20Saturday dinner.

01:05:21Distant relatives had

01:05:23come to visit

01:05:23Beatrice.

01:05:24Candlelight reflected

01:05:25off crystal glasses.

01:05:27I wore a simple

01:05:28black dress, calm

01:05:29and composed.

01:05:34Oh, divorced and

01:05:36unemployed, still

01:05:37hanging around your

01:05:38ex-husband?

01:05:40Shameless.

01:05:45You have no

01:05:46manners.

01:05:50I turn to leave.

01:05:51Stop right there!

01:05:52Who do you think

01:05:53you are?

01:05:58Respect is earned.

01:06:00You've never earned

01:06:01mine.

01:06:02Sit down!

01:06:03I said sit down!

01:06:09The drama is yours.

01:06:10I'm leaving.

01:06:15Back in the guest

01:06:16room, my phone buzzed

01:06:18with an email from

01:06:19Arland.

01:06:19He was officially

01:06:20hiring me as chief

01:06:21engineer of orbital

01:06:22systems.

01:06:23I signed the

01:06:24contract.

01:06:25Mommy, are we

01:06:26moving?

01:06:30Yeah.

01:06:35To a place where

01:06:36no one dares look

01:06:37down on us.

01:06:39Sunday morning, I

01:06:41was packing my

01:06:41luggage.

01:06:42The tablet beside

01:06:43the bed was still

01:06:44lit, open on

01:06:45Orbal Systems'

01:06:46contract page.

01:06:50The door was

01:06:51suddenly pushed

01:06:52open.

01:06:53Grayson walked in

01:06:54with a glass of

01:06:54green detox juice,

01:06:56a stirrer still

01:06:57in it.

01:06:58Drink this.

01:06:59You're emotionally

01:07:00unstable.

01:07:01Hormonal imbalance.

01:07:02I'm not sick.

01:07:04His eyes swept over

01:07:05the tablet.

01:07:06When he saw the

01:07:07name Orbital Systems,

01:07:09his face darkened

01:07:10instantly.

01:07:11Orbital Systems?

01:07:12You're delusional.

01:07:14You haven't touched

01:07:15engineering in five

01:07:16years.

01:07:16At best, you're a

01:07:17coffee fetter.

01:07:18I'm the chief

01:07:19engineer.

01:07:21Five years of just

01:07:22planning parties.

01:07:23You've long forgotten

01:07:23what calculus is.

01:07:25Drink it!

01:07:26I took the cup.

01:07:28He smiled smugly.

01:07:30I turned and walked

01:07:31into the bathroom.

01:07:35I poured the green

01:07:36liquid into the toilet

01:07:37and flushed.

01:07:42I walked back out

01:07:43holding the empty cup.

01:07:45This is detox.

01:07:47Getting rid of all

01:07:48the poison that

01:07:48belongs to you.

01:07:52When you fail at your

01:07:53job and come back

01:07:54crying, don't expect me

01:07:56to go easy on you!

01:07:59Just wait and see.

01:08:01He cursed for a while

01:08:02outside the door,

01:08:03then stormed off.

01:08:05Mommy, why is

01:08:06Daddy shouting?

01:08:07Daddy is just

01:08:08throwing a tantrum

01:08:09like a little kid.

01:08:10Come on, let's go

01:08:11back to our Brooklyn

01:08:12home.

01:08:12Really?

01:08:13Right now?

01:08:14Yes.

01:08:15Right now.

01:08:16I zipped the suitcase

01:08:17as fast as I could,

01:08:20grabbed Effie's

01:08:21coat,

01:08:24and opened the

01:08:25door.

01:08:26But Grayson had

01:08:27never left.

01:08:27He leaned against

01:08:28the doorframe,

01:08:29dangling my car keys

01:08:31from his finger.

01:08:32Going somewhere?

01:08:33Give me back my keys.

01:08:35The driver is off.

01:08:36The mountain roads

01:08:37are dangerous.

01:08:38You're unstable right

01:08:39now.

01:08:39I can't let you drive.

01:08:40Give me back my keys.

01:08:43No.

01:08:45Mommy, what's wrong?

01:08:47Effie was already

01:08:48trembling.

01:08:48I couldn't let her know

01:08:50we were trapped again.

01:08:51It's okay.

01:08:52We're playing a

01:08:53Ford game.

01:08:54Mommy will guard

01:08:54the door.

01:08:55No one gets in

01:08:56tonight.

01:09:02I pressed a heavy

01:09:04armchair against

01:09:04the door handle

01:09:05and stood guard

01:09:06all night.

01:09:16my daughter sobbed

01:09:17in her sleep.

01:09:19No.

01:09:20Don't hit me.

01:09:23Mommy's here.

01:09:26Mommy's here.

01:09:27No one can hit you.

01:09:32Monday morning.

01:09:33I dragged my luggage

01:09:34downstairs.

01:09:36Grayson,

01:09:37dressed in a fine

01:09:38navy suit,

01:09:39ordered the driver

01:09:40to put my bags

01:09:40in the Maybach.

01:09:41I'm driving my own car.

01:09:44No.

01:09:48His phone suddenly rang.

01:09:49The special ringtone.

01:09:51The special ringtone.

01:09:52It was Belle.

01:10:01Sweetheart, don't worry.

01:10:02I'll be right there.

01:10:04Mommy, I'm going to get

01:10:05my culling book.

01:10:08Effie!

01:10:09Watch out!

01:10:11Grayson's leg

01:10:12bumped into Effie.

01:10:13His hand jerked.

01:10:15The scalding hot

01:10:16double espresso

01:10:17spilled all over

01:10:18Effie's arms and legs.

01:10:20Mommy, it hurts!

01:10:21It hurts so much!

01:10:23You ruined my

01:10:25$20,000 suit!

01:10:26Do you know how

01:10:27expensive this suit is?

01:10:28You only care

01:10:29about your clothes,

01:10:31not your own

01:10:31daughter's cries!

01:10:32You monster!

01:10:34Mom,

01:10:35why did you hit me?

01:10:36You deserved it!

01:10:42It's just a little

01:10:44hot water.

01:10:44She'll be fine.

01:10:45Kids heal fast.

01:10:49The keys.

01:10:51Give them to me.

01:10:54No.

01:10:58Give them to her!

01:11:00The old woman

01:11:01grabbed a porcelain bowl

01:11:02and smashed it

01:11:03at his feet.

01:11:04He flinched

01:11:05and reluctantly

01:11:06handed over the keys.

01:11:10First,

01:11:11go to the school

01:11:12and apologize to Belle.

01:11:13You embarrassed her

01:11:15before.

01:11:16I froze completely.

01:11:18My daughter

01:11:18had second degree burns

01:11:20and he wanted me

01:11:21to apologize

01:11:21to his mistress first.

01:11:26Effie,

01:11:27let's go.

01:11:28I picked up Effie

01:11:29and ran out the door.

01:11:33Mommy,

01:11:35I don't like daddy.

01:11:36Daddy.

01:11:38I want a new daddy.

01:11:41We are done with him.

01:11:43Completely.

01:11:49The nearest burn unit

01:11:50was past St. Jude's School.

01:11:53Just as I neared

01:11:54the school gate,

01:11:55Grayson's Maybach

01:11:56suddenly cut in front of me,

01:11:58blocking the road.

01:12:10Apologize to Belle.

01:12:11She's waiting

01:12:11right at the school gate.

01:12:15I looked out the window.

01:12:17Belle stood dressed up

01:12:18among a group of mothers.

01:12:20A smug smile

01:12:21on her face.

01:12:25Stop her!

01:12:27Don't let her get away!

01:12:28I threw the car

01:12:29into reverse,

01:12:30then slammed it

01:12:31into drive

01:12:31and cranked the wheel.

01:12:33The car mounted

01:12:34the sidewalk

01:12:34and brushed past Belle.

01:12:40She's trying to kill me!

01:12:43Help!

01:12:44Freeze all subsidiary cards

01:12:45under Isolay's name.

01:12:47All of them!

01:12:48Ma'am,

01:12:48the registration fee

01:12:49is $500.

01:12:50Your card was declined.

01:12:53Try this one.

01:13:06I carried Effie

01:13:08into the treatment room.

01:13:10My daughter

01:13:11was already asleep.

01:13:13Her arms

01:13:13wrapped in thick bandages.

01:13:16Tuesday morning,

01:13:17I left Effie

01:13:18with Harper

01:13:18and took a taxi

01:13:19to the Orbital Systems

01:13:20building,

01:13:21dressed in a floral dress.

01:13:22My presence

01:13:23was fully unleashed.

01:13:32Oh,

01:13:32here to beg?

01:13:34Applying for a janitor job?

01:13:37You don't even belong

01:13:38in the lobby.

01:13:39Get out!

01:13:40I ignored them

01:13:41and walked on.

01:13:43I told you to stop!

01:13:45Did you hear me?

01:13:47Duran reached for my arm.

01:13:49I sidestepped

01:13:50and grabbed his wrist,

01:13:51twisting it.

01:13:55He bent over in pain.

01:14:01Don't touch me.

01:14:04You're violent!

01:14:05I'm calling the police!

01:14:09I took out my

01:14:10black executive access card.

01:14:14A beep

01:14:15and the elevator

01:14:16doors opened.

01:14:26Enjoy your time

01:14:27in the lobby.

01:14:38Arlen waited for me

01:14:39outside the elevator.

01:14:40Please.

01:14:46Welcome back,

01:14:47Chief Engineer.

01:14:50He led me

01:14:51to a large glass office.

01:14:53The title etched

01:14:54on the door read

01:14:55Chief Engineer.

01:14:58I reached out

01:14:59and touched the glass.

01:15:01This was not a dream.

01:15:04Downstairs

01:15:05in the conference room,

01:15:07Bell was giving

01:15:08an atrocious presentation.

01:15:10She recited

01:15:11empty slogans

01:15:12over a PowerPoint

01:15:13filled with

01:15:13space station stock photos.

01:15:17We only recognize

01:15:19physics,

01:15:20not empty poetry.

01:15:22Presentation over.

01:15:30she broke down crying

01:15:32and called Grayson.

01:15:35He was dealing

01:15:35with school drama

01:15:36and was swayed

01:15:37by her tears.

01:15:43Buy her a researcher

01:15:44position at the institute.

01:15:46Donate enough

01:15:47that Professor Nelson

01:15:48can't refuse.

01:15:50Arlen told me

01:15:50about Grayson's plan.

01:15:59Grayson is going

01:16:00to buy her

01:16:00a position

01:16:01at the institute.

01:16:02It'll ruin

01:16:03the institute's reputation.

01:16:06Let him buy it.

01:16:08Professor Nelson

01:16:09hates frauders

01:16:10more than anything.

01:16:11once Bell

01:16:12gets in

01:16:13she'll regret it

01:16:14later.

01:16:16You knew this

01:16:17would happen

01:16:18all along?

01:16:20I knew.

01:16:26Outside the window,

01:16:27the New York skyline

01:16:29glittered in the sunlight.

01:16:32I picked up my pen

01:16:33and wrote two words

01:16:34in the corner

01:16:34of the blueprint.

01:16:35Game over.

01:16:38Effie said she's

01:16:38coming to the office

01:16:39to find you.

01:16:40I'll take her

01:16:40for ice cream.

01:16:42Tell her mommy

01:16:43is waiting for her.

01:16:44A new life

01:16:45is waiting for her.
