06:21by the door
06:21Susie, a birthday present. Do you like it? Let me put it on for you.
06:28No.
06:40She doesn't seem to like me very much. I just wanted to make her happy.
06:54Donovan, keep her away from my daughter.
07:00Mr. Nightway, I did what you said. I brought Susie a gift.
07:04Are you hurt? I thought you'd learn to behave. Clearly not. Mila is my new assistant. I brought her to
07:10see how you're raising Susie. You can't even tolerate that? Are you still Mrs. Nightway or aren't you?
07:14You bring your mistress to our daughter's birthday party and this is what you want to discuss?
07:19Enough. It's Susie's birthday. Don't make a scene.
07:23Donovan thinks he can always control me using the title of Mrs. Nightly.
07:27He doesn't know that what he bruised today, besides Susie's wrist, was the very last shred of mercy I had
07:34left for him.
07:39Mommy?
07:40I'm here. I'm right here.
07:49Susie's trust fund. Have there been any large withdrawals recently?
07:51Yes. The transfer was approved last night.
07:54Print me a copy. I'll pick it up within the hour.
08:01Ma'am, Mr. Nightly is in a meeting.
08:11What are you doing here? Something happened?
08:14Susie's trust fund. Did you authorize this?
08:17Mr. Nightly, I'm sorry. If it weren't for my penalty fee, you wouldn't have touched that money. I didn't mean
08:21to.
08:22Don't overreact. You humiliated her in front of everyone. She cried for days.
08:26A little compensation to smooth things over. Is that too much to ask?
08:30Don't look so grim. I ordered you some jewelry. Consider it an apology.
08:38Who gave you the right to replace her?
08:39Mila's trending right now. Swap her in, better numbers. We're family. What's yours is mine.
08:44I want to put her out there. You help out. She'll earn that trust money. She'll make it back.
08:48Well, it's, um, quite complex. Kind of like an algorithm in an app.
08:55Get it right!
09:00She's nervous. She'll be ready next time.
09:02She can't even explain the basics, and she's the keynote?
09:05The contract is void. Expect our lawyer's letter tomorrow.
09:07You switch the guest without notifying us. We'll be issuing a public statement.
09:10Damages clause. Read it yourself.
09:12Ma'am, two more. They called it in and sent the papers. They all want out.
09:21Three firms, verbal, written, they're all here.
09:28A hiccup. I'll have someone settle it. Double.
09:32All I had to do was ask, and he handed your studio to me.
09:36If I were you, I'd have left years ago.
09:38You trashed his car, wrecked his events two years, and what did it get you?
09:42You can't even keep his heart.
09:46Yes. I lost it.
09:49Who gave you the nerve to say that to my face?
09:56Mark!
10:01How much longer are you going to do this?
10:03I said I'd pay. Double. Triple. The car. The yacht. Fine.
10:07But now you're hitting people?
10:09You stole my daughter's trust fund. Wrecked my showcase.
10:13Who do you think you are?
10:15Then let's see how far you're willing to go.
10:17Five years in the Knightley family.
10:19Donovan brought me endless humiliation.
10:21But Eleanor gave me my final shred of dignity.
10:24This funeral is the last decency I will ever leave for this absurd castle.
10:29Hello?
10:30The paperwork is nearly done. Five days at most.
10:32The pre-marriage assets. The lawyers have it covered. You and Susie won't lose a thing.
10:34One more thing. The funeral is coming up. The family has to gather.
10:37He treated you like his own daughter while he was alive.
10:38Could you help me one last time?
10:40Yes. I'll help.
10:54Donovan, today is your father's funeral.
10:58Why did you bring her?
10:59I know I shouldn't be here, but I'm pregnant. It's still a Knightley. I want him to pay respects to
11:07his grandfather.
11:09You're not angry?
11:11She's carrying a Knightley. It's only right she came to pay respects.
11:15Have you lost your mind? What about Lark? What about Susie?
11:21Aunty, today belongs to Mr. Knightley. Let's not disturb him.
11:28Eleanor, I'm not feeling well. I'll take Susie home first. I'll leave things here to you.
11:37Mommy, are we going home?
11:41Mm-hmm. We're going home.
11:47Stay in the yard. Don't go past the gate. I'll be in the studio.
11:55Ma'am! Susie is gone!
11:56What do you mean, gone? Wasn't she in the yard?
11:59She was! I just stepped inside for a moment. I've looked everywhere. This was all I found. By the swing!
12:03Lark Hawthorne, you're in my way. Your child is in my way, too. You all deserve to die.
12:08For years, my only defense was a tracking chip sewn into the soles of Susie's shoes.
12:12Ma'am, the signal's at the abandoned dock on the outskirts. Convoy arriving in two minutes.
12:16I'm going ahead. Follow me. Call the police. Stay on the phone. Don't let anyone in.
12:23Dig up everything on Mila. Nightclub photos, fake credentials, videos. Release it all.
12:28The headlines.
12:29Buy every headline within 24 hours. Make sure she can never recover.
12:32Yes. Right away.
12:40Susie!
13:00It's done.
13:01Was it you?
13:03You leak it all that?
13:04I told you no one could replace you.
13:07Why stoop to this?
13:08She's pregnant. Do you have any idea how fragile a pregnant woman is?
13:11This afternoon, your daughter was taken. She nearly drowned. Did you know that?
13:16Susie, is she okay? I'll look into it. But this has nothing to do with Mila.
13:21Lark Hawthorne, you're in my way. Your child is in my way, too. You all deserve to die.
13:26That's not my voice. It's fake. Ruining my reputation wasn't enough. Now you're saying I tried to hurt Susie?
13:33How could I possibly hurt her? Do you want me and my baby to die?
13:40You're trying to destroy her.
13:41He holds on to that woman as if guarding his last shred of dignity.
13:46It's fine. Soon, I will personally shatter his dignity into pieces, too.
13:55Tell her. Mila's unstable and the baby's at risk. No matter what, the child is still a nightly.
14:03Calm her down. I might give her a title. Let her cool off. It doesn't affect her.
14:11The papers are all done and sent to the airport. Susie's custody is included.
14:15Thank you, Eleanor.
14:16Take care on the way.
14:23Mommy, are we going home?
14:26Hmm. Home.
14:29Where's Daddy?
14:30Daddy's busy. We'll go first.
14:33I left behind all the golden luxury in this place, along with the Mrs. Knightley I had been for five
14:39years.
14:40What's inside this worn luggage is my only true life.
14:44Mommy, what about the sparkly ones?
14:47Those belong to Mrs. Knightley. We don't need them anymore.
14:57Mrs. Knightley Sr. arranged this. The divorce and custody papers are all here. Please confirm and take them with you.
15:04Tell her I got it.
15:07Mommy, are we riding the big airplane?
15:09Yes. The big airplane. We're going somewhere far away.
15:13Will it be cold?
15:15No. Mommy's here.
15:17The city lights and five full years of suffocation are shrinking into invisible dots beneath my feet.
15:24Donovan, you always thought I could never leave you. Soon you will return to that empty mansion.
15:28I wish you a peaceful rest in the ruins of your own making.
15:36I was so scared. Our baby almost.
15:39It's fine now.
15:43What are you thinking about?
15:45Talk.
15:46Mr. Knightleyan, Miss Hawthorne has authorized the sale of Cloudwater Manor. A buyer is coming today for inspection. Could you
15:51assist with the handover?
15:52Who gave her permission to sell?
15:53The title is solely in Miss Hawthorne's name. She has every right to dispose of it.
15:58Donovan, what's wrong?
16:00Selling the house?
16:05Where is she?
16:06Sir, the missus left with Susie several days ago. She said she had something to take care of.
16:10Where did she go?
16:11She didn't say.
16:13Very well.
16:18Come on. I'm getting you discharged.
16:21You'll stay with me?
16:23Hmm.
16:30Knighted, what are you brooding about? Worried your wife's going to storm in and make a scene? Relax, we'll hold
16:35the door for you.
16:39She wouldn't dare. Looks like she finally learned her lesson. Figured out that making a scene gets her nowhere. Can't
16:44spoil women. Mila here is so much more agreeable.
16:49When you've had enough, come home. Don't wait for me to beg.
16:56Mom, what is it? I'm kind of busy.
16:58Busy? Busy parading that little trit around? Come home. Now.
17:15Mom, what'd you call me back for? Whose gossip is it this time?
17:19Donovan.
17:20Do you even know where Lark and Susie are right now?
17:23Where else? She took the kid and ran off to SILP. Sold a house. Went radio silent. I've seen this
17:28routine before.
17:29Relax. Once she's done sulking, she'll come crawling back. She can't live without me.
17:36Throwing a tantrum? Donovan Knightley!
17:40You still think she's throwing a tantrum? Open your eyes!
17:43She's not sulking. She's done with you. For good.
17:50Divorce? She thinks she can threaten me with this?
17:57This can't be real.
18:04Do you understand now? She's not trying to exhort you. She simply doesn't want you anymore.
18:10The hell she can! Take my daughter and walk away? Not a chance!
18:14She wants to play this game? Fine, I'll play! Let's see how long she can hide!
18:20Find them. Use every resource. Turn the world up sound if you have to. Bring Lark and Susie back to
18:24me. Now!
18:25Yes, sir. Initiating immediately.
18:31You might find her.
18:33But you'll never find her willing to come back.
18:40I need the most thorough forensic analysis on a recording, the one from Susie's abduction a few days ago, as
18:45fast as possible.
18:54Talk.
18:55Mr. Knightway, the preliminary result on that recording is in. The likelihood of fabrication is low.
19:01Say that again.
19:02Fabrication likelihood, low. Voice print and ambient noise patterns are consistent. Full report will be delivered shortly.
19:13Mr. Knightway, Ms. Vance is awake. She's been crying non-stop. Asking to see you, says her stomach hurts.
19:20Sir, there are discrepancies in Ms. Vance's prenatal records. Her primary physician's account received a large, hard-to-tracks payment.
19:27Also, during the period she was seeing you, she maintained close contact with multiple other men. Files are ready whenever
19:32you want them.
19:36Donovan, you finally came. I...
19:46The recording is real. Mila, what else do you have to say?
19:50No, that's fake. It's Lark who set me up. She's been trying to get rid of me.
19:55She set you up? What about the fake pregnancy? Sleeping around, was that her doing too?
20:00Donovan, let me explain. The baby...
20:02Stop using a child to lie to me. Listen carefully. Everything you've done, you will pay back every single thing.
20:10From today, the entertainment industry, this city, there will be, I know, place left for you. Better pray I don't
20:14find something worse.
20:24Donovan has returned to that empty house. The lights are on, but the warmth is gone.
20:28In the past, Susie and I sat under those very lights, for a thousand dark nights. Waiting for him. This
20:35time, it's his turn to guard the silence.
20:38As for us, goodbye, Donovan.
20:42Sir, we're searching everywhere. For now, there's still no location.
20:53Mommy, are we there?
21:13You've worked so hard, Lark.
21:23You've worked so hard, Lark.
21:34Princess, let's go back to the palace.
21:40Hands free. Just keep up.
21:45Rest if you're tired. Ten minutes to home.
21:50Mommy, do they have ice cream here?
21:52They do. Grandma makes hers even sweeter than the shop. Shh, don't tell her I spoiled the surprise.
22:05You're back. It's all right now. You're back.
22:08Thinner.
22:15Reporting, sir. Mission accomplished. Two princesses delivered safely. Awaiting further orders.
22:20Always the clown. Smart mouth. Dad. Mom. We're home. Come in. Come in. It's cold out here. Dinner's ready. All
22:30your favorites.
22:31Wash your hands first. Table's not waiting.
22:44Oh.
22:46Take your time, sweetheart. No rush.
22:49Grandma, it's yummy.
22:56Now that's my sister. If only...
23:00Forget all that garbage. Do whatever you want. Money, people.
23:02Just say the word. I've got you.
23:06Lark, come help me tidy up the attic. There are some things of yours up there.
23:21Just like yesterday. You were so beautiful back then. If I hadn't gotten so sick all of a sudden.
23:26If it weren't for Eleanor, she donated part of her liver. I might have...
23:30Your father and I both tried to stop you. Especially Julian. He was the first to object.
23:33Said that nightly boy was too much of a player. Couldn't settle down. But we couldn't talk you out of
23:36it.
23:36You've been through so much. If I'd known it would turn out like this, I would rather...
23:40Mom, stop. It's not your fault. I made my own choices. And I have Susie. I don't regret it.
23:45But you.
23:52Rather what? See? Who actually knows a deadbeat when she sees one?
23:56Stop picking on your sister.
23:58Ow! I'm just helping mom educate my little sister. You gotta learn to listen. Especially to your big brother.
24:15Lark, I just wanted to come see you. And see this place. It's good. As long as I can work.
24:23Lark, there's something I've been thinking about for a long time. I think it's time I told you.
24:40Julian is not your biological brother. And he's not your father's either.
24:45He was adopted. Back then my health was fragile. I couldn't conceive. Both sets of grandparents kept
24:53pushing us. We found him at the orphanage. That boy was stubborn, fierce, eyes like thorns.
24:59But the moment I saw him, I just knew he belonged with us. I can't explain it. I just knew.
25:02He keeps so much inside. Buried deep. But how he's been with you, your father and I was blood sister.
25:06Watched it all. He's in all these years. He's still been every inch the brother he chose to be.
25:27If you get hurt, come home. I've got you.
25:33Just closed a big one. We're celebrating tonight. Mom, you're coming. I found this new private kitchen.
25:37Impossible to get in, but I pulled it off. What's going on? Mom doing the nostalgia tear
25:45junker again? Don't make my number one girl cry. Her tear code is way over this week.
25:50Alright, you two talk. I'll leave you to it.
25:55The great composer is stuck. Look at those furrowed brows. What's eating you? Existential art crisis?
26:02Or do you hate the curtains I picked? Nothing beats a good meal. Come on, Maestro.
26:08Buy your hardworking agent dinner and don't next time me. I keep a tab.
26:27No, thank you. Don't thank me if you starve. I'm the one explaining. Hawthorne priority asset found unconscious. I don't
26:36want to see that headline.
26:41Client gave them. Waste not to use them. Strictly business. I've already figured out the expense report.
26:48Business?
26:49Fine. Half business. The other half. I wanted to see you smile. Just once. Quote is low.
26:54Surrender! I didn't do anything. Dry air. Static, you know?
27:02Head back. Or another lap. Coffee. Dessert. I can be bribed.
27:06Back. Susie has an early morning tomorrow. Copy that. Driver mode activated.
27:12I've red-lacked the contract regician. Tomorrow you just focus on the music, skip the legal jargon.
27:18Someone tried using your name as a gimmick. I already cut it.
27:20You've been busy enough today.
27:21Busy with your studio stuff doesn't count as busy. Everything else does.
27:30If you ever feel I'm too close, just say so. I can pull back. I really can.
27:35I don't find it annoying. Just don't rush me.
27:39No rushing. Order received.
27:47Drink. Don't forget again. When you forget, I remember.
27:53Come in.
28:03Hiding here for some peace and quiet?
28:11Something you need?
28:13Where's Susie? I'm here to see my daughter.
28:18She's at kindergarten.
28:19Lark, are you done playing? This little running away act, you think it's fun? You think moving
28:24cities means I can't find you? Donovan, you've got it wrong. The divorce papers are signed. We have
28:27nothing between us anymore. Want to see Susie? Scheduled visits. This is my workplace. You're not
28:34welcome here. Nothing between us? You think signing a paper means you can just walk away from me?
28:39Name your terms. You and the kid come back. What do you want? The house? The trust? The title? Don't
28:45test my patience.
28:47Lark, you done? Susie gets out soon. Mom wants us to...
28:53Mr. Nightwy, gracing this little place with your presence. Here for my sister? We're delivering your
28:57little name your terms pitch. I'm here for Lark and Susie. What happens between husband and wife is
29:02none of your business. Husband and wife? Are you sleep mocking or just delusional? What does my
29:08sister still have to do with you? The divorce papers, the ink is dry. Julian, I've been polite
29:13out of respect. You're her brother. My family affairs are none of your damn business. Listen
29:17carefully. I watched Lark grow up. You swore you'd protect her and what happened? You let that woman
29:21walk all over her. You nearly got Susie killed and now you want to talk family business with me? That
29:23was an accident. Mila, don't say that name again. Get out of her sight. Stay away and stop harassing
29:27Susie. Julian Hottenton, who the hell do you think you are? Who gave you the right to order
29:32me around? Seeing my daughter's my right. This punch for Lark and Susie. From now on,
29:43they're under my protection. Show your face again and I'll be here every single time.
29:47It's fine now. Come on, let's go get Susie.
29:56Susie, do you miss Daddy? Daddy misses you so much. The child can't take calls right now.
30:00Please don't call again. Send it all back. I've already told the kindergarten no one picks
30:05her up except designated family, including him. Mommy, why doesn't Daddy live with us?
30:09Why'd we send the toys back? He said he misses me. You have Mommy, Grandma, and Uncle with
30:15you. You're still happy, right? Mm-hmm, but sometimes I miss Daddy too.
30:23Black. Tomorrow, 3 p.m., Stillward Cafe. To talk. Only business.
30:57Lark, I've been thinking a lot these past few days. Before,
31:00I was blind. Selfish. I hurt you and I hurt this family. The Mila thing. The recording.
31:08The fake pregnancy. I looked into all of it. An apology can't undo it, but believe me,
31:13my feelings for you never changed. There's no one else beside you now. Give me a chance
31:18to win you back. Give Susie a complete family. The trust, the house, your name on everything.
31:23Just say the word. Donovan, you've got a few things wrong. First, I'm not here to listen to
31:35your confessions, and I'm not here to give you a chance. Everything between us, over. Not a cold
31:41war. Not playing hard to get. Over. Second, I'm doing just fine. I don't need you to make it up
31:47to me.
31:49Without you, Susie and I are better off. A complete family doesn't mean your last name,
31:54third. Who told you there's no one beside me? You're used to arranging my answers for me.
31:59Starting today, don't bother. I'll honor Susie's visitation schedule. Beyond that,
32:05no more gifts, no more calling the house, and don't show up at my studio again.
32:09Lark, calm down. A child needs her father. You also- A child needs safety. Did you ever provide that
32:16in the hospital hallway when she was terrified?
32:24Done talking? It's windy. I'll put on a jacket.
32:29Julian! You two- Your siblings! How can you- Siblings can't sit like this! Take your hand
32:38off her- Your siblings!
32:45Siblings? Donovan, who told you we were siblings? Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not.
32:51I was always the childhood companion her family arranged. Watched her grow up, protected her,
32:57waited for her. Clean. Faithful. From start to finish, she was the only one I ever saw.
33:02No exceptions like yours. So, the one by her side now is me. Do you understand?
33:23Susie, daddy's here to take you home.
33:31Susie, come here. Daddy'll buy you the newest doll. Get your favorite ice cream. Okay? Don't
33:36you miss daddy? No. I want uncle and mommy.
33:42Listen! I'm your father! Look at me! Donovan's scaring the child. Back off. Who the hell are
33:48you? What right do you have holding my daughter? You're an outside- Susie! Look at him! He's
33:54the bad man trying to steal your mommy! You can't go with him! Lark! Move! I need my
34:01daughter to see what this man really is! Do you hear me? Daddy bad! I hate daddy! You
34:08yelled at uncle! You scared Susie! You're a bad daddy! I'm not going with you! I like
34:14uncle. Uncle tells stories. Uncle plays with me. He never yells at me. Susie.
34:33Miss Hawthorne, we'd like to use your name as a publicity angle. After all, the nightly
34:37topic volume- Then forget it. When the score's done, credit
34:39it. Composer, Lark Hawthorne. That's enough. No other terms.
34:44Oh, Susie. Uncle, look! Birdie! Hmm. Fly's steadier than my company's stock.
35:10You're back? Wash your hands. Tonight you're eating what I cooked. No complaints. Even
35:15if you complain, there's no second option. When did you learn to cook? Figured it out
35:19myself years ago abroad. If it's bad, I'll fix it next time. If it's good, keep it in your
35:25heart. Don't hand out awards. Go look at your score. I've got this. Creators don't
35:34wash dishes. House rule. Lark. Donovan transferred the remaining assets to Susie. After that,
35:41he's going somewhere remote to teach. Says it's his way of making amends. He asked me
35:45to pass on an apology and hopes you and Susie are both well. Thank you in his night way.
35:49Take care. What happened? Nothing. Donovan left some assets for Susie. She deserves
35:56it. And you? What do you want to do next? This is fine for now.
