00:09:40Emilia, I need you to listen to me
00:09:41You betrayed me, Blake
00:09:43Over the promise of being Alpha
00:09:46You don't understand
00:09:47No, you don't understand
00:09:48I would have never done that to you, ever
00:09:51I was ready to spend the rest of my life with you
00:09:54You don't have a wolf, Emilia
00:09:57I couldn't be with you
00:10:01Get out
00:10:18You did a good thing today, Brittany
00:10:20Thank you, Father
00:10:21Blake is an attractive man, and I wanted him
00:10:23So I thought, why not get him?
00:10:25Emilia was simply an afterthought
00:10:26Did you slip her the pills today?
00:10:29I couldn't, Father
00:10:30She made breakfast, and she didn't leave the table once
00:10:32There was no chance for me to slip it in
00:10:34That was irresponsible of you, Brittany
00:10:35Don't you realize that you could have cost us everything today?
00:10:37She could have shifted from the amount of emotion she was in
00:10:40If I hadn't seen what was going on and shot her with a dart
00:10:42Then she would have
00:10:43I'm sorry, Father
00:10:44I just thought it wouldn't matter
00:10:45Because we have given it to her every day for years
00:10:47I figured that one day would not make a difference
00:10:49You know the truth, Brittany
00:10:50And you know how powerful it is
00:10:51There is a reason we give her that poison every day
00:10:53And you were about to ruin it in the span of a few minutes
00:10:58I don't want anyone overhearing us
00:11:01I know that what's hitting us
00:11:02I know that what did today was horrible
00:11:06Blake
00:11:06Let me finish, please
00:11:08I also know that I am the last person that you want to hear from
00:11:11But I need you to listen to me
00:11:13Safe here, and I cannot tell you more than that
00:11:15But you need to leave
00:11:16I can't leave, Blake
00:11:17This is my home and my family
00:11:19I have nowhere else to go
00:11:20I know you don't trust me anymore
00:11:21But trust that I have your best interests at heart
00:11:23You need to leave
00:11:39You are awake
00:11:40You disgraced us out there
00:11:42What were you thinking?
00:11:43Falling on the floor and crying like a child over a boy
00:11:46Why don't you love me, Father?
00:11:48What are you talking about?
00:11:49You know what I'm talking about
00:11:50Why don't you love me the way you love Brittany?
00:11:52Did I do something wrong?
00:11:53If I did, then I am so sorry
00:11:54But all I want is for you to love me
00:11:59Amelia, you are upset
00:12:00And that is why you are saying all of this
00:12:01The Blake boy is not worth your tears
00:12:03I loved him, Father
00:12:04And Brittany took him from me
00:12:05Listen
00:12:05Listen, I cannot interfere in matters of the heart
00:12:07But I know this is hard for you
00:12:09And that is why I am here to give you an option
00:12:11I have spoken to a neighboring pack of ours
00:12:13The Blake Rock Pack
00:12:14And they are willing to accept you there for college
00:12:17You want to send me away?
00:12:19No, but I don't want to watch you hurting
00:12:21You can leave now
00:12:24I will even help you pack
00:12:28You should leave before Brittany returns
00:12:30Have a nice trip
00:12:48Amelia ran away
00:12:50She stole my car and the money that I kept aside for the renovations
00:12:53As of this moment, she is now a rogue and is to be treated as such
00:12:58Yes, Alpha
00:13:14It's just the girl from before
00:13:16She was stripped of her identity and thrown out of her pack today
00:13:25I don't know who the girl is
00:13:27But as long as she does not cross our borders
00:13:29Then she is not our problem
00:13:31But
00:13:36I knew leaving the pack was a hasty decision
00:13:39But a new pack seemed like the perfect break in exactly what I needed
00:13:44It would give me enough time to heal from the betrayal before going back home
00:13:50How dare you?
00:13:53I have to reject you, Amelia
00:13:54I'm sorry
00:13:56But I am choosing Britain
00:14:03The warning that Blake had given me?
00:14:06Let me finish, please
00:14:07I also know that I am the last person that you want to hear from
00:14:10But I need you to listen to me
00:14:11Safe here
00:14:11And I cannot tell you more than that
00:14:13But you need to leave
00:14:13I can't
00:14:15Ugh!
00:14:15Blake!
00:14:16You're the worst!
00:14:21Ah!
00:14:22Ah!
00:14:22Ah!
00:14:22Ah!
00:14:33You're so pretty
00:14:35I wonder what type of bird you are
00:14:40Come on
00:14:59Here and I cannot tell you more than that, but you need to leave
00:15:04Father, you want me to die, but I live
00:15:10I have spoken to a neighboring pack of ours
00:15:12The Blake Rock Pack
00:15:13And they are willing to accept you there for college
00:15:15Alpha of the Dark Fangs Pack is rumored to be an atrocious monster
00:15:19But I will take my chances at the hand of that monster than at the hands of my family
00:15:31Moon goddess
00:15:33I hope by some miracle I will find the Dark Fangs Park before that happens
00:16:01I'll kill you
00:16:06I'll kill you
00:16:07We'll smell you
00:16:26Whoo!
00:16:27Oh!
00:16:33Yeah chancely
00:16:34Let me know
00:21:05L'alpha est looking for you.
00:21:11L'alpha est looking for me.
00:21:13My name is Clara, by the way.
00:21:16I am going to take you to him.
00:21:18Is he angry with me?
00:21:20For running away at the lake?
00:21:21Did I somehow disrespect him?
00:21:23What are you talking about?
00:21:24How would you have disrespected him?
00:21:26I don't know.
00:21:27I know I shouldn't have crossed the border without a formal arrangement or invite,
00:21:30and I shouldn't have run from him because now it makes me look like a criminal.
00:21:34But I promise that if you let me go right now,
00:21:36I will leave in the morning and never return.
00:21:38I just need to rest for the night.
00:21:49Amelia, you have no reason to be scared of the Alpha,
00:21:52or anyone here for that matter.
00:21:53I assure you that we are of no harm to you.
00:21:55Then why is he looking for me?
00:21:58Why is he asking for me if he doesn't want to punish me?
00:22:00I can't answer that question because I don't know why he is asking for you.
00:22:10Whatever the reason is, I can assure you that we are not your enemy.
00:22:13All the evils you have faced today have come from your own family.
00:22:17What do you know about my family?
00:22:18I only know what you know.
00:22:20They sent those wolves after you and they tried to have you killed.
00:22:22I can only see what my birds show me,
00:22:25and that is all they think is necessary.
00:22:26That was how you knew to help me.
00:22:29Are you sure you don't know anything else?
00:22:31I don't.
00:22:33But you're more than free to ask the Alpha
00:22:35after you complete his request and come with me.
00:22:43After ten minutes, you can see our Alpha.
00:22:49I don't know how you managed to avoid slamming into a tree.
00:22:54I have lived here all my life,
00:22:55but I still can't drive in this forest without an accident.
00:22:58How did you do it?
00:23:01I don't know.
00:23:03I've never driven in a forest before,
00:23:05and I did bump into a few trees,
00:23:06but I guess I just chose to trust my instinct.
00:23:10I guess it is a little good to know
00:23:12that I am not the only one who cannot navigate it properly.
00:23:15What do your instincts tell you now?
00:23:19They say that you're trustworthy
00:23:21and that you're not planning to kill me.
00:23:26How are you controlling them?
00:23:32You mean?
00:23:34I'm sorry about that.
00:23:35What was your question?
00:23:37I asked how you were controlling them.
00:23:38The birds, I mean.
00:23:40They do whatever you ask, and they listen to you.
00:23:42How do you do that?
00:23:43You could find out how.
00:23:45But only if you stay.
00:23:48Stay where?
00:23:49Mm-hmm.
00:24:01Here we are.
00:24:02Are you ready?
00:24:13Are you ready?
00:24:16The mother of the three baloney children
00:24:18and a co-sponsor of tonight's Foundation Preview.
00:24:23On the day I signed the divorce papers,
00:24:25I was ordered to leave with nothing.
00:24:28When I walked out of the Crane Estate,
00:24:31I had $26 in my wallet and nowhere safe to go.
00:24:36My phone was nearly dead when a message from an old classmate appeared on the screen,
00:24:40linking to a discreet placement notice.
00:24:42I stopped at the word protection.
00:24:44A roof, a meal, and a place the Crane's could not reach me.
00:24:49It was already more than I had that night.
00:24:50The address led me to the iron gates of an old mansion on Chicago's Gold Coast.
00:24:54Only after the butler opened the door did I learn who had placed the notice.
00:24:58Dante Bellani, the Don of Chicago's oldest Italian crime family.
00:25:01I had only wanted a place to stay.
00:25:03Somehow, I became the legal mother of the three Balichi children.
00:25:07and the contract wife of Dante Bellani himself.
00:25:10You passed last night's interview.
00:25:12You want me to marry you?
00:25:13Now I need to give them someone who can stay.
00:25:15Later, my ex-husband Sebastian Crane stood before me
00:25:18with the same careless arrogance
00:25:21and asked,
00:25:22Do you realize you were wrong now?
00:25:24Before I could answer, the triplet stepped in front of me
00:25:27and little Livia clung to my leg.
00:25:28Her eyes read,
00:25:30My mom wasn't wrong.
00:25:31Her two brothers stood on either side of her,
00:25:33staring Sebastian down.
00:25:35Dante placed one hand at my waist,
00:25:37his voice calm enough to make the air turn cold.
00:25:40Mr. Crane,
00:25:41my wife owes no explanation to a man
00:25:43who lost the right to speak to her.
00:25:45I never imagined a luxury childcare ad
00:25:47would lead me to the most dangerous family in Chicago.
00:25:49The Balundi estate sat behind black iron gates on the Gold Coast.
00:25:53Its family dress worked in black and gold above the entrance.
00:25:56The butler who came to meet me introduced himself as Enzo.
00:25:58I manage this house.
00:25:59His gaze moved over my rain-soaked coat,
00:26:02then to the worn handbag in my hand.
00:26:04I wished I could hide it.
00:26:05Miss Ward,
00:26:06this house does not hire women to decorate a room
00:26:08or charm the dawn.
00:26:10If you enter,
00:26:11the children's needs come first.
00:26:13The household rules second.
00:26:15Your curiosity lasts.
00:26:16Do not ask about locked doors.
00:26:19Do not repeat names you hear.
00:26:21Do not promise the children anything you cannot keep.
00:26:24I tightened my grip on my bag and nodded.
00:26:26I understand.
00:26:28I won't cross any lines.
00:26:30Eight hours earlier,
00:26:31I had signed my divorce papers.
00:26:33Sebastian Crane's lawyer slid the documents across the table.
00:26:36Mrs. Crane,
00:26:37according to the pre-muddle agreement,
00:26:38you have no claim to any Crane family assets
00:26:41and no right to remain in the house.
00:26:43I lowered my eyes to the papers.
00:26:47Is that all?
00:26:47The lawyer hesitated for a moment.
00:26:49Mr. Crane also asked his assistant to pass along a message.
00:26:51I looked up.
00:26:53If she wants to leave,
00:26:54let her leave clean.
00:26:55Sebastian did not even come.
00:26:57I signed my name
00:26:58and walked out of the house I had lived in
00:27:00for three years
00:27:00with twenty-six dollars in my wallet.
00:27:05He led me through the corridor.
00:27:15I knew his face.
00:27:17Dante Balangi,
00:27:18the current Don of the Balangi family.
00:27:20Rumor said he had inherited the family at 17
00:27:22and rebuilt a collapsing old empire
00:27:23through dock unions,
00:27:25private casinos,
00:27:26import companies,
00:27:27and negotiations no newspaper ever printed.
00:27:29His gaze settled on me.
00:27:30She's the applicant.
00:27:31Enzo lowered his head.
00:27:33Yes, Don.
00:27:33Dante handed the rosary to Enzo.
00:27:36Return it to the chapel.
00:27:39The man confessed enough.
00:27:41Then he turned toward the dining room.
00:27:44The room was far more chaotic than I expected.
00:27:47Dinner sat untouched on the long table.
00:27:49A boy of about six sat in front of a chessboard,
00:27:51his face stern.
00:27:52You promised to finish this game with me.
00:27:53Another boy stood beside a chair
00:27:55with a blanket clutched in his arms.
00:27:56His eyes were red with sleep,
00:27:58yet he was still demanding a bedtime story from Dante.
00:28:00The youngest child sat in a high chair,
00:28:03crying so hard her cheeks had gone red.
00:28:05She held a white rabbit toy in one hand,
00:28:08and the bowl in front of her had not been touched.
00:28:11I want heat in another one.
00:28:13Dante stood among all three children,
00:28:14his brow drawn tight.
00:28:15This man could silence a dock union
00:28:17and force rival families to step back.
00:28:19Yet a chessboard, a bedtime story,
00:28:21and a little girl refusing dinner
00:28:22had trapped him beside his own table.
00:28:24Enzo spoke quietly.
00:28:25Don, this ward is here.
00:28:28Both boys looked at me.
00:28:29One studied me with cold attention.
00:28:31The other looked openly annoyed.
00:28:34The little girl buried her face in the rabbit toy
00:28:36and cried harder.
00:28:38Dante turned to me.
00:28:40Hey.
00:28:43Need a hand with anything?
00:28:45Name.
00:28:47Evelyn Ward.
00:28:48He nodded once,
00:28:50then looked at the boys.
00:28:51Mateo.
00:28:52Nico.
00:28:53Upstairs.
00:28:54The game isn't finished.
00:28:55Tomorrow.
00:28:56What about my story?
00:28:58The younger one demanded,
00:28:59clutching his blanket tighter.
00:29:01Two chapters tomorrow.
00:29:03The boys started upstairs
00:29:05with obvious reluctance.
00:29:07At the landing,
00:29:08they stopped
00:29:09and kept watching.
00:29:11Dante bent down,
00:29:12picked up the crying little girl
00:29:13and carried her to me.
00:29:15Loria.
00:29:15His voice dropped.
00:29:17Look at me.
00:29:17Loria lifted her head
00:29:18with a broken sob,
00:29:19tears caught in her lashes.
00:29:21You have to eat tonight.
00:29:22She turned her face away
00:29:23and hid against the rabbit again.
00:29:24Dante stayed silent
00:29:25for a few seconds
00:29:26before turning the child toward me.
00:29:28Get her to eat three bouts
00:29:29and you can stay tonight.
00:29:30The butler,
00:29:31the maids,
00:29:32the guards,
00:29:33and the two boys on the stairs
00:29:34all looked at me.
00:29:35I looked at the trembling little girl
00:29:36and slowly loosened my crip
00:29:38on the strap of my bag.
00:29:39My divorce papers
00:29:40were still folded
00:29:40at the bottom of it
00:29:42and the $26 in my wallet
00:29:44reminded me
00:29:44that even a dangerous house
00:29:45had more to offer
00:29:46than a rainy street,
00:29:48food,
00:29:48and a door
00:29:49that could close behind me.
00:29:51I set my handbag down
00:29:52by my feet
00:29:52and smoothed my wet coat,
00:29:54Give me a napkin and a pen.
00:29:55When the maid brought
00:29:55the napkin and pen,
00:29:56the dining room was quiet
00:29:57except for Livia's broken sobs.
00:29:59I did not move toward her right away.
00:30:01Dante was still holding her.
00:30:02Her shoulders shook as she cried,
00:30:03but her fingers stayed locked
00:30:05around the white rabbit toy
00:30:06in her arms.
00:30:06I crouched down
00:30:07until my eyes were level with hers.
00:30:09What's its name?
00:30:10Livia looked at me through tears.
00:30:11I nodded toward the rabbit.
00:30:12I mean her.
00:30:13She pulled the toy closer
00:30:14to her chest and whispered,
00:30:15Pearl.
00:30:16Miss Pearl.
00:30:17I nodded.
00:30:17That's a beautiful name.
00:30:18Faint snot came from
00:30:19the staircase land.
00:30:20I did not turn around.
00:30:21Livia stared at me
00:30:22with the wary look
00:30:22of a cornered animal.
00:30:23One of the maids lowered her head.
00:30:25Enzo's expression shifted slightly.
00:30:27Dante's arm tightened around her.
00:30:28Tonight,
00:30:29I only want you to eat dinner.
00:30:30Whether your father likes me
00:30:31is not my job.
00:30:32Lovas crying paused.
00:30:33I drew three small boxes
00:30:35on the napkin.
00:30:35Three bites.
00:30:36After each bite,
00:30:37you mark one box.
00:30:38When all three boxes are full,
00:30:39I leave the table
00:30:40and you decide whether I'm...
00:30:51I heard your stomach.
00:30:52And if you heard your family
00:30:52uh-uh-uh-uh-
00:31:21that the Afternoon
00:32:28The maid answered at once. Enzo stepped forward.
00:32:31Don, I'll have a guest room prepared. Second floor.
00:32:34Dante said. Enzo glanced up. Dante's tone did not change.
00:32:38The room beside the nursery.
00:32:40Enzo lowered his head again.
00:32:41Understood.
00:32:42When I stood, my knees were slightly numb from crouching too long.
00:32:45Before I could reach for my bag, the two boys had already come down from the stairs.
00:32:50Matteo reached me first.
00:32:51He handed me a broken music box with a ballerina on the lid, one of her arms missing.
00:32:56He said. It's broken.
00:32:57I took it from him. I can try.
00:32:59Nico moved more slowly.
00:33:01As he passed me with his blanket in his arms, he muttered.
00:33:05She doesn't like milk too hot.
00:33:06And she doesn't like strangers touching her hair.
00:33:09Then he seemed to regret saying so much and ran back upstairs.
00:33:11Luria was still sitting in the high share, her face streaked with tears.
00:33:14But her eyes stayed on the music box in my hand.
00:33:16Dante came to stand beside me, his gaze falling on the old music box.
00:33:21You handled children's fear well.
00:33:23I just didn't rush to touch her.
00:33:25He looked at me again, more carefully this time.
00:33:27Tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock.
00:33:29My study.
00:33:30At 8 the next morning, Enzo opened the study door for me.
00:33:34Dante sat behind a long table in a black suit,
00:33:36the two documents from last night waiting in front of him.
00:33:39I stopped at the edge of the table.
00:33:40I thought I was here to take care of the children.
00:33:43You passed last night's interview.
00:33:44Dante pushed the papers toward me.
00:33:46Now I need to give them someone who can stay.
00:33:48He spoke with the calm of a man discussing terms, not feelings.
00:33:53The Balani family has enemies watching my children.
00:33:55A regular nanny can't enter the security system,
00:33:58sign medical authorizations,
00:34:00or represent them at school and family events.
00:34:02Livia has seen too many people leave.
00:34:06She needs a mother written into the law.
00:34:08You want me to marry you?
00:34:09I sat down.
00:34:11You want me to marry you?
00:34:12On paper.
00:34:13Where would I live?
00:34:15Second floor.
00:34:16The room you used last night.
00:34:17Mine is on the third.
00:34:18How far do my duties go?
00:34:20Care for the three children.
00:34:21Help them adjust to a normal life.
00:34:22Attend family events as Mrs. Balani when necessary.
00:34:24And marital obligations?
00:34:25Dante turned the contract to one page and tapped a line with his finger.
00:34:28There is no such clause.
00:34:30I read it twice before asking.
00:34:32What about money?
00:34:33A personal operating account will be opened under your name.
00:34:35Household expenses come from the family account.
00:34:37Anything transferred to your private account stays yours.
00:34:40Even if you divorce?
00:34:42Even then.
00:34:43I looked at the contract.
00:34:44I've signed an agreement before.
00:34:46In the end, I walked away with $26.
00:34:48Dante turned to the lawyer.
00:34:49Add a clause.
00:34:51All funds transferred to Evelyn Ward's personal account during the marriage remain her separate property.
00:34:55The Balani family may not reclaim them after divorce.
00:34:58Separation points of this agreement.
00:34:59The lawyer began reviving at once.
00:35:01Dante looked back at me.
00:35:03Caring for children is labor.
00:35:05The Balani family does not take labor for free.
00:35:07The Crane family never called it labor.
00:35:08Then they were poorer than they look.
00:35:09For a moment, I thought of the Crane house,
00:35:11where cooking, cleaning, laundry, and childhood had all become unpaid work once the Nancy was dismissed.
00:35:15On the day of the divorce, they said I had lived off them for three years.
00:35:18I pressed my fingers around the pen.
00:35:20One more thing.
00:35:22If the children don't need me someday, can I leave?
00:35:24Yes.
00:35:25You won't stop me?
00:35:26I'll compensate you according to the agreement.
00:35:29And make sure you're protected.
00:35:32He did not rush me.
00:35:35The contract was dangerous, but its terms were clear.
00:35:37The contract gave me conditions, boundaries, and a way out.
00:35:43At last, I signed.
00:35:49After the lawyer collected the papers,
00:35:51Deontay opened a black velvet box.
00:35:54In-
00:36:05I signed.
00:36:19Open in myIN Harald's fuel.
00:36:19It is very difficult.
00:36:24But I signed.
00:36:27Now, back in my時候, here installed another blankaque.
00:36:28I signed.
00:36:34So that closed.
00:37:04...
00:37:34...
00:37:39...
00:37:43...
00:37:44...
00:37:45...
00:37:46Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:38:16C'est parti.
00:38:47C'est parti.
00:39:19C'est parti.
00:39:47Enzo called.
00:39:48He told me they all left the house.
00:39:50Livia held the repaired music box against her chest.
00:39:53I didn't cry.
00:39:55Dante lowered his eyes to her.
00:39:57I can see that.
00:39:58Nico added.
00:39:59She only crushed one candy in the car.
00:40:02Lyra immediately tried to step on his shoe.
00:40:05Dante looked from them to me, his voice lowering slightly.
00:40:09Thank you.
00:40:10That night, Dante came to the second floor sitting room with a set of keys.
00:40:15If you're going to take them out again, you need a car that does not announce my name three blocks
00:40:20away.
00:40:23I looked down at the keys.
00:40:25That sounds unusually practical for a Don.
00:40:27You may be the first person in Chicago to accuse me of practicality.
00:40:31The next morning, an old dark green Volvo was parked outside the garage.
00:40:35It looked wildly out of place beside the line of black armored cars.
00:40:40Lyra pressed herself against the window.
00:40:43Pearl says she loves the green one.
00:40:46Dante stood on the steps, watching the children circle the car.
00:40:52I walked over and said quietly.
00:40:55Thank you.
00:40:57The guards will follow when you take them out.
00:40:59I know.
00:41:01If anything happens, call me.
00:41:05I nodded and opened the car door.
00:41:08Lyra climbed in first.
00:41:14Mateo and Nico followed.
00:41:16As the door closed, Dante remained where he was.
00:41:20Watching the three faces in the window.
00:41:22Only then did I understand that he had given me more than a room in a guarded house.
00:41:28He had placed the softest part of his life in my hand.
00:41:32A week after the Volvo appeared, I took the triplets to the preview hall of the Bologna Children's Arts Foundation.
00:41:40Dante's family funded the annual charity auction, and one wall had been reserved for drawings from children across the city.
00:41:46Lorvi's picture of Pearl had been selected.
00:41:49Lorvi stood in front of it, silent and pink-cheeked, while Mateo adjusted the little name card under the frame.
00:41:58Nico grinned.
00:42:00Look!
00:42:01Pearl looks like a bunny princess!
00:42:04I was kneeling to fix the ribbon on Livia's dress, when a familiar voice sounded behind me.
00:42:12Evelyn.
00:42:14My fingers paused.
00:42:16Sebastian Crane stood near the champagne table in a perfectly tailored gray suit, his hair immaculate.
00:42:21Behind him, a young aide held a portfolio, stamped with the Crane Foundation's seal.
00:42:25Only a few weeks had passed since the divorce.
00:42:29He looked untouched by all of it.
00:42:31His gaze moved from my hands at Livia's hem.
00:42:34To the three children around me, a slow smile formed on his face.
00:42:39I almost didn't recognize you.
00:42:42Ivy League graduated.
00:42:45And now you're dressing mafia children for charity photos?
00:42:50Is this really your life now?
00:42:52Livia held Pearl tighter and moved closer to me.
00:42:55Nico's face darkened at once.
00:42:57Mateo said nothing.
00:42:59His eyes moved briefly to Sebastian's aid,
00:43:01then to the security badge on the man's lapelt.
00:43:03I stood and kept my voice steady.
00:43:06Sebastian, move.
00:43:08He gave a low laugh,
00:43:10as if I had said something amusing.
00:43:14Still stubborn.
00:43:15His eyes dropped to the obsidian crest on my crest coat,
00:43:19but recognition did not reach him.
00:43:22I suppose life outside the Crane family
00:43:25has taught you something by now.
00:43:27No matter how much you complained before,
00:43:30at least you were Mrs. Crane.
00:43:33What are you now?
00:43:34A nanny with a borrowed brooch?
00:43:37We're divorced.
00:43:39That doesn't change the fact that you were my wife.
00:43:41Sebastian's voice cooled.
00:43:43When people mention you,
00:43:45they still think of the Crane name.
00:43:47Showing up here as hired help for the Belandis
00:43:49makes me look ridiculous.
00:43:52Nico stepped forward,
00:43:54but Mateo caught him by the sleeve.
00:43:58Livia looked up at me and asked softly,
00:44:01Why is he talking to you like that?
00:44:07Because he's used to it.
00:44:10Sebastian frowned.
00:44:11Evelyn, don't act tough in front of children.
00:44:13You left me because you wanted me to regret it.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:19I admit you surprised me.
00:44:21He raised a hand,
00:44:22reaching for my shoulder the way he used to.
00:44:24I stepped back.
00:44:26His hand stopped in mid-air,
00:44:28and his expression sharpened.
00:44:31Enough.
00:44:32The other women meant nothing.
00:44:37I haven't let anyone move into your room.
00:44:39The position of Mrs. Crane is still empty.
00:44:42How to be brave.
00:44:43I looked at him and felt as if I was looking at a stranger.
00:44:46Once,
00:44:46I had waited for his explanation.
00:44:49I had waited for an apology.
00:44:51Now he stood in front of me,
00:44:53offering the empty place beside him,
00:44:55as if I should be grateful.
00:44:58I'm not interested.
00:45:00Sebastian's eyes darkened.
00:45:02You're not in a position to say that.
00:45:05He lowered his voice.
00:45:06How much money do you have left?
00:45:08Do you really think the Belotti family will treat you as one of their own?
00:45:12Once they're done with you,
00:45:13you won't even have a way back.
00:45:16He glanced at the triplets,
00:45:18his smile turning colder.
00:45:19Taking care of three mafia children, Evelyn.
00:45:23You'll do anything to prove a point.
00:45:25Mario's eyes went completely cold.
00:45:28Nico clenched his teeth.
00:45:29Shut up!
00:45:31This is between adults.
00:45:33Lovia hugged Pearl,
00:45:34her eyes slowly turning red.
00:45:36I drew her behind me.
00:45:38Sebastian, I'm telling you one last time.
00:45:39Move.
00:45:40Instead, he seemed to regain the upper hand.
00:45:42That familiar superiority returned to his voice.
00:45:45Admit you were wrong, Evelyn.
00:45:47Go back and apologize to my mother and my sister,
00:45:50and I may let this ugly little performance end.
00:45:53The noise of the preview hall seemed to pull away.
00:45:56Then Libyan let go of my hand
00:45:57and stepped in front of me with Pearl clutched to her chest.
00:46:01Her small body was trembling,
00:46:03but her voice rang out clearly.
00:46:06Who said she was wrong?
00:46:07After Lovia spoke,
00:46:09the conversations in the hall dropped low.
00:46:11She stood in front of me with Pearl in her arms,
00:46:13her small shoulders still trembling,
00:46:15her red eyes stubborn.
00:46:16Sebastian looked down at her,
00:46:18as if he had only just realized
00:46:20a child had challenged him in public.
00:46:22Little girl,
00:46:23when adults are talking...
00:46:24She wasn't wrong!
00:46:28Lovia cut him off,
00:46:30her voice clearer than before.
00:46:32You can't talk about her like that!
00:46:38Nico immediately stepped beside her,
00:46:40his event brook shirt crumpling in his fist.
00:46:43You heard her!
00:46:44She said you can't!
00:46:50Is this how the Bologna family teaches its children?
00:46:53Matteo moved to my other side
00:46:54and shielded Lovia half a step behind him.
00:46:57He did not rush to argue the way Nico did.
00:46:59He only lifted his eyes to Sebastian's name bag,
00:47:01his voice far too calm for a child.
00:47:04Sebastian Crane,
00:47:07you just insulted a guest
00:47:09of the Balani Foundation
00:47:10at its own preview event.
00:47:13And then you called
00:47:14Balani children ill-mannered.
00:47:17Guests began to slow around them
00:47:19and the men beside Sebastian
00:47:20quietly lost their smiles.
00:47:22He finally understood
00:47:24that this was not
00:47:25the Crane family dinner table,
00:47:26nor a place where he could lecture anyone
00:47:28as he pledged
00:48:16at their first time.
00:48:17I'm so glad that the film
00:48:17was actually going like
00:48:18to explain
00:48:18and that film
00:48:18was getting real
00:48:18so

00:51:55...
00:51:55...
00:51:56...
00:51:56...
00:51:56...
00:51:56...
00:51:56...
00:51:56...
00:51:57...
00:51:57...
00:51:58...
00:51:58...
00:52:08...
00:52:09...
00:52:09...
00:52:09...
00:52:10...
00:52:10...
00:52:10...
00:52:19...
00:52:20...
00:52:22...
00:52:29My dad, Victor, stared at me in pure disappointment.
00:52:32His whole hand was shaking.
00:52:34How did we end up with a monster like you, standing there while your own brother dies?
00:52:38And now you're making up lies?
00:52:40You're a goddamn disgrace.
00:52:42Vanessa's eyes were bright red.
00:52:44She dug through her purse with trembling hands.
00:52:46Then she yanked out a bank card and shoved it into my palm.
00:52:49Ethan, I'm begging you.
00:52:50There's five million on this card.
00:52:52That's enough for you to live on forever.
00:52:53Just go down there now.
00:52:55Bring Jason back.
00:52:56You want money?
00:52:56Fine, take it!
00:52:57You want something else?
00:52:58Just name it!
00:52:59A hot tear fell from her face.
00:53:01It landed on the back of my hand and burned.
00:53:04Burned so badly it felt like it went straight through me.
00:53:07Eight years in prison.
00:53:08She never visited me once.
00:53:09Not one time.
00:53:10And now this was our reunion.
00:53:12She was humbling herself for the same man she once protected by forcing me to confess.
00:53:16And even now, she was still using money to grind what was left of my dignity into the dirt.
00:53:20I didn't want to keep arguing with them.
00:53:22Not anymore.
00:53:22So I swallowed the pain.
00:53:24My hand shook as I pulled a medical report from my pocket.
00:53:26A diagnosis.
00:53:27Severe eardrum perforation.
00:53:29I tried to show it to her.
00:53:30Vanessa didn't even look.
00:53:31She slapped my hand away.
00:53:32The paper flew out.
00:53:34Are you done yet?
00:53:35You're still waving around some stupid piece of paper?
00:53:37Isn't money what you want?
00:53:38Are you doesn't have time for this?
00:53:39Jason doesn't have time for this.
00:53:41Then David charged over.
00:53:42He grabbed my fish table and flipped the whole thing.
00:53:45Fish crashed to the ground.
00:53:46Ice scattered everywhere.
00:53:47Ethan!
00:53:47You murderer!
00:53:49Get the hell out!
00:53:49Don't bring your bad luck onto these docks!
00:53:51If you won't save him today, then don't ever think about coming back here!
00:53:56The crowd joined in at once.
00:53:57People passing by.
00:53:58Everybody.
00:53:59Some even spat at me.
00:54:00Get out, murderer!
00:54:02A piece of trash like you deserves to rot in hell.
00:54:05I looked down.
00:54:07The medical report Vanessa slapped away was lying on the floor.
00:54:09Soaked.
00:54:10Stepped on.
00:54:11And in that moment, the whole thing felt absurd.
00:54:13All I wanted was to live like a normal person.
00:54:16Quietly.
00:54:17Alone.
00:54:18In some forgotten corner.
00:54:19That was it.
00:54:20I was even that too much to ask.
00:54:22Did they really have to push me all the way to death?
00:54:24That feeling.
00:54:25Like the whole world was pointing at me.
00:54:27It crushed the last of my defenses.
00:54:29I didn't want to stay there one more second.
00:54:30I turned and ran.
00:54:31I don't even know how I made it back to my rental.
00:54:34I just remember the voices.
00:54:35People on the street yelling after me.
00:54:37Cursing me.
00:54:38I barely got inside.
00:54:39I hadn't even caught my breath yet.
00:54:40Then my phone started going insane.
00:54:42Alert after alert.
00:54:43Hashtag the murderer who let his brother drown.
00:54:45Hashtag rich family drama.
00:54:47The adopted son versus the real one.
00:54:49Desperate heiress.
00:54:49Begs her prisoner, X, to help.
00:54:52I tapped one of the alerts.
00:54:53It opened straight into Vanessa's live stream.
00:54:54On camera, my mom, Susan, sat there trembling.
00:54:57She was trying to hold back tears.
00:54:59I'm so sorry, everyone.
00:55:00We know we're taking up public attention.
00:55:02But as a mother, I have nowhere else to turn.
00:55:05She covered her mouth and sobbed.
00:55:06It's our fault.
00:55:07We failed to raise him right.
00:55:08Back then, he killed for gold bars.
00:55:10He robbed people.
00:55:11He took a life.
00:55:12He served eight years for it.
00:55:13I thought prison would change him.
00:55:15But I was wrong.
00:55:16He's rotten to the core.
00:55:18Her tears streamed down harder.
00:55:20Now his brother's trapped underwater.
00:55:21His life is hanging by a thread.
00:55:23Ethan could save him.
00:55:24He could.
00:55:25But he just ran away.
00:55:26Victor held her up like she might collapse.
00:55:28Then he turned to the camera.
00:55:29I'm begging everyone to help us.
00:55:31If anyone can bring Ethan back, I'll pay seven figures.
00:55:34The comments exploded.
00:55:35They flooded so fast I could barely read them.
00:55:37Trash like that deserves exposure.
00:55:39I know where he lives.
00:55:40West Side Apartments.
00:55:42This kind of garbage should die.
00:55:44Anyone in Harbor City?
00:55:45Go block him in.
00:55:46Come on, guys.
00:55:47Go teach that freak a lesson.
00:55:48I stared at the screen.
00:55:50My whole body went numb.
00:55:51Then it happened.
00:55:52A violent pounding hit my door.
00:55:54Over and over.
00:55:55Like they were trying to break it down.
00:55:57I barely had time to react.
00:55:58My landlord stormed in first.
00:56:00Behind him was a crowd of people.
00:56:01Phones up.
00:56:02Flashlights on.
00:56:02Cameras shoved in my face.
00:56:04Oh, look at you.
00:56:05You hit it pretty well.
00:56:06A damn killer living in my building?
00:56:09They rushed inside like looters.
00:56:10One man smashed my bowls.
00:56:12Another kicked over my pots.
00:56:13Plates shattered across the floor.
00:56:15Everything I had got torn apart in seconds.
00:56:17I tried to stop them.
00:56:18Two huge men grabbed me instantly.
00:56:20One slammed my head down.
00:56:21The other locked my arms.
00:56:22Hold still.
00:56:23Apologize to the camera.
00:56:24Say it now.
00:56:25Tell them you're trash.
00:56:26You don't deserve to breathe.
00:56:28Humiliation drowned me.
00:56:29It hit like a wave.
00:56:31Someone yanked my hair back.
00:56:32A phone was jammed right in my face.
00:56:34The live comments kept flying by.
00:56:36I couldn't move.
00:56:36Then the crowd suddenly split apart, making a path.
00:56:39My parents walked in.
00:56:40For one stupid second, I thought they were here to stop this.
00:56:43I was wrong.
00:56:44Victor's face was dark, cold.
00:56:46He handed someone a thick coil of rope.
00:56:47It was so heavy it sagged.
00:56:49He pointed at me through clenched teeth.
00:56:51Please, help me tie him up.
00:56:52If he won't go, then drag him there.
00:56:54I snapped my head up.
00:56:56I stared at him like I didn't know him.
00:56:57Dad, do you even hear yourself?
00:56:59I told you, I can't dive.
00:57:01I'll die.
00:57:01Then I looked at my mother.
00:57:03Mom, do I even matter to you?
00:57:05I'm your son.
00:57:07For Jason, are you really going to force me to death?
00:57:10Susan's eyes were red.
00:57:11For one second, she looked away.
00:57:13Like something inside her shook.
00:57:14But it vanished almost instantly.
00:57:16What came back was ice.
00:57:17Shut up!
00:57:18Jason may not be blood, but he's a thousand times better than you know.
00:57:21Ten thousand!
00:57:22You spent eight years in prison!
00:57:24Who took care of us during those years?
00:57:25Jason did!
00:57:26Who stayed by our side?
00:57:27Jason did!
00:57:28And now he's in trouble.
00:57:29You're his brother.
00:57:30You should be saving him.
00:57:31You're just going to let him die?
00:57:33Can your conscience live with that?
00:57:34My chest felt ripped open.
00:57:36I was already in pieces.
00:57:38But that still hurt so bad I could barely breathe.
00:57:40So that was it.
00:57:41Blood never mattered to them.
00:57:42Not once.
00:57:43To them, I was a stain.
00:57:45Something disposable.
00:57:46Something they could throw away whenever they needed.
00:57:48I'm not going!
00:57:49I didn't kill anyone!
00:57:50The case back then wasn't what you think!
00:57:52Why won't any of you believe me?
00:57:54I fought like hell.
00:57:55Twisting.
00:57:56Kicking.
00:57:56Trying to break free from the rope.
00:57:58But nobody cared what a convicted killer had to say.
00:58:01Not one person.
00:58:02Just when I was about to break.
00:58:03Vanessa walked in.
00:58:04One of her bodyguards handed her something.
00:58:06A stun baton.
00:58:07She took it without blinking.
00:58:08Then she stepped into my room.
00:58:09Her face was cold and hard.
00:58:11Ethan, don't make me do this.
00:58:13For Jason.
00:58:14There is nothing I won't do.
00:58:16She didn't hesitate.
00:58:17She jammed the stun baton straight into my back.
00:58:20A brutal crack of electricity tore through me.
00:58:23My whole body convulsed.
00:58:24Then everything went black.
00:58:26By some miracle, I didn't.
00:58:27I washed up on a deserted island.
00:58:29Passed out there for three full days.
00:58:31Then I was rescued.
00:58:32When I finally got home, Jason ran straight at me.
00:58:34He grabbed me hard.
00:58:35Held on like he'd never let go.
00:58:37And he started crying.
00:58:38Ethan, you're back.
00:58:40This is all my fault.
00:58:41I was useless.
00:58:42If I'd stopped you from making us go down.
00:58:43If I'd just been stronger.
00:58:45Then I wouldn't have only saved Vanessa.
00:58:46And watched you get swept away.
00:58:48So that was it.
00:58:49I finally understood.
00:58:50No wonder my wife had been willing to force me to take the fall.
00:58:53To send me to prison.
00:58:54And to let me die for another man.
00:58:55For ten whole years, she had believed Jason was the one who saved her.
00:58:58In the three days I disappeared, he became her hero.
00:59:01The man who risked everything for her.
00:59:03And me?
00:59:04I became the reckless one.
00:59:05The glory hungry idiot who almost got everybody killed.
00:59:08What a sick joke.
00:59:09My throat was dry and raw.
00:59:11But I still forced the words out.
00:59:12Shouting with everything I had left.
00:59:14I told you!
00:59:15I can't go underwater!
00:59:16My ear can't handle the pressure!
00:59:18If I go down there, my brain could hemorrhage!
00:59:20Do you people want me dead?
00:59:21Vanessa's eyes flickered.
00:59:22Just for a second.
00:59:23A flash of panic.
00:59:25Gone almost instantly.
00:59:26Then Victor charged at me in a rage.
00:59:28He rushed over and kicked me hard.
00:59:30I hit the deck and rolled.
00:59:31Keep lying!
00:59:32Go ahead!
00:59:32Keep pretending!
00:59:33Ethan, you're rotten to the core!
00:59:35At a time like this, you're still faking a disability just to get out of it?
00:59:39Off to the side, my mom collapsed to the deck.
00:59:41Wiping her tears.
00:59:42Sobbing like her heart was ripping apart.
00:59:44Oh God!
00:59:45Jason was an angel!
00:59:47He's always been so sweet!
00:59:49He did everything for us!
00:59:50If we lose him, I can't go on!
00:59:54Then the boat captain, Adam, walked over.
00:59:56He tapped his watch.
00:59:58Ms. Lane, this is where Jason went under.
01:00:00Based on the time, his tank has maybe thirty minutes left.
01:00:03That one sentence shattered whatever reason Vanessa still had.
01:00:06Her pretty face twisted from panic.
01:00:08She spun toward me and screamed,
01:00:10You heard him!
01:00:11Move!
01:00:11Now!
01:00:12Gear him up!
01:00:13I stared at her, and something in me finally went cold.
01:00:16Fine.
01:00:17I'll go.
01:00:18But I have one condition.
01:00:19I want the best deep water gear you've got.
01:00:21If they were really going to shove me into hell,
01:00:24then I was grabbing whatever slim chance I had.
01:00:26No matter how small.
01:00:27If the gear was strong enough, maybe I could survive the pressure.
01:00:30The second I gave in, Vanessa's shoulders dropped.
01:00:32Like she could finally breathe again.
01:00:34She rushed over and grabbed my hand tight.
01:00:36Ethan, I knew it.
01:00:37I knew you still cared.
01:00:39I knew you wouldn't just let him die.
01:00:41Then the next second, guilt flashed across her face.
01:00:44She pointed to a pile of junk in the corner.
01:00:46But there's no other option.
01:00:48This is the only diving gear on the boat.
01:00:50You used to be the best diver in the business.
01:00:52A little problem like this, you can handle it, right?
01:00:55She said it so casually.
01:00:57Like it was nothing.
01:00:59I followed her finger, and my blood went cold.
01:01:02It was an old dive suit.
01:01:03The rubber was cracked in places.
01:01:05The air valve was rusted.
01:01:06That kind of gear should have been scrapped years ago.
01:01:09There was no way it was safe.
01:01:11A chill shot straight up my spine.
01:01:12I yanked my hand away, then backed up in panic.
01:01:15Vanessa, are you out of your mind?
01:01:16You know diving!
01:01:17If I go down in that thing, that's the same as killing me!
01:01:20Adam looked at the suit, too.
01:01:22His face tightened.
01:01:23Mrs. Lane, this gear really is too old.
01:01:26The risk on a forced deep dive is way too high.
01:01:28If something goes wrong...
01:01:30Before he could finish, Vanessa's face went cold.
01:01:32She cut him off without hesitation.
01:01:34At a time like this, who the hell cares about that?
01:01:36Get over here!
01:01:37Put it on him!
01:01:39A few bodyguards rushed me at once.
01:01:40They slammed me onto the deck, pinned me down hard.
01:01:43In the struggle, someone stomped down.
01:01:44My hearing aid flew off.
01:01:46It cracked apart, then got crushed under a shoe.
01:01:48Shattered.
01:01:49The one thing that had stayed with me for years.
01:01:51Gone.
01:01:52In the end, they forced the suit onto my body anyway.
01:01:55And Vanessa strapped a heavy industrial weight belt around my waist.
01:01:58Sixty pounds of lead, enough to make sure I sank.
01:02:00Then they shoved me toward the edge of the boat.
01:02:02In that last, desperate moment, I turned and looked back at this family.
01:02:05Victor stood there with his arms crossed.
01:02:07Coldly.
01:02:08Like none of it had anything to do with him.
01:02:09There wasn't one shred of pity in his eyes.
01:02:12Not for his own son.
01:02:13And my mother, Susan?
01:02:15She had her hands clasped tight, eyes shut, praying into empty air.
01:02:18Her lips trembled as she whispered,
01:02:20Please.
01:02:21Please let him be safe.
01:02:23Please, God, let Jason come back, okay?
01:02:26At a moment like this, with my life hanging by a thread, she was praying for him.
01:02:30For Jason.
01:02:31Not her own flesh and blood.
01:02:33It was grotesque.
01:02:34It was pathetic.
01:02:35It was almost funny.
01:02:36Then suddenly, a huge force slammed into my chest.
01:02:39Someone shoved me.
01:02:40Heart.
01:02:40The second the deck vanished under my feet.
01:02:42Ethan!
01:02:42If you bring Jason back, we'll get married right away.
01:02:45I'll be right here waiting for you.
01:02:47Then the ocean swallowed me whole.
01:02:49The freezing water wrapped around my body instantly.
01:02:51The weight belt dragged me down.
01:02:52Fast.
01:02:53Way too fast.
01:02:54Straight into the deep.
01:02:55The pressure hit my ears like a sledgehammer.
01:02:57My right eardrum was already hanging by a thread.
01:02:59Now it tore.
01:03:01A dull ripping burst exploded inside my head, like a balloon popping in my skull.
01:03:05Pain.
01:03:06Blinding pain.
01:03:07So much pain, my whole body seized up.
01:03:09I opened my mouth to scream.
01:03:10A mouthful of seawater rushed in instead.
01:03:12My lungs felt like giant hands were crushing them.
01:03:14My vision turned red.
01:03:15Then darker.
01:03:16Then worse.
01:03:17My mind started slipping away.
01:03:18And just when I was drowning.
01:03:19Just when the dark was closing over me.
01:03:21Just when I gave up trying to live.
01:03:23A pair of soft hands reached for me.
01:03:24Fast.
01:03:25Strong.
01:03:25And grabbed me.
01:03:26Susan pressed a hand to her chest.
01:03:28Her face was pale.
01:03:29She leaned against the railing.
01:03:30Her eyes stayed locked on the water.
01:03:32Victor had his hands behind his back.
01:03:34He kept pacing.
01:03:35Back and forth.
01:03:36Jason will be fine.
01:03:38He's lucky.
01:03:39He has to be okay.
01:03:41Ethan was a diving champion.
01:03:42He'll bring Jason back up.
01:03:44She kept saying it over and over.
01:03:45Like if she said it enough, it would come true.
01:03:48Like it could calm the fear inside her.
01:03:49But her fingers were shaking.
01:03:51And that gave her away.
01:03:52Then suddenly.
01:03:53A sharp alarm shattered the dead silence.
01:03:55A coast guard boat was speeding toward them.
01:03:57Fast.
01:03:58A few officers jumped onto the deck.
01:04:00The man in front scanned everyone with hard, sharp eyes.
01:04:02I'm Owen with the Harbor City Coast Guard.
01:04:05Who's in charge here?
01:04:06Victor hurried over at once.
01:04:07He pulled out a business card and handed it over.
01:04:09We're with Cole Group.
01:04:11My son went missing while diving.
01:04:13We came out here to look for him ourselves.
01:04:16Owen took the card.
01:04:18Rescue?
01:04:18Then he looked them over coldly.
01:04:20We pulled him out three hours ago.
01:04:25The whole deck went dead silent.
01:04:27Then Owen pulled up footage from his body cam.
01:04:28He opened a video and held it up.
01:04:29Three hours ago, during patrol, we recovered a man from the water.
01:04:33It was Jason Cole.
01:04:35We tried contacting his family.
01:04:37No answer.
01:04:39Never thought you came all the way out here.
01:04:41There's no signal.
01:04:42The doctor on board examined him.
01:04:43He'd been exposed to a marine toxin.
01:04:45A sea barrier.
01:04:46A kind of sea slug.
01:04:47That toxin can trigger severe hallucinations.
01:04:49In serious cases, it can be fatal.
01:04:50He might have touched one while diving.
01:04:52He's already been taken to the hospital.
01:04:54He's been stabilized for now.
01:04:55The second they heard Jason was alive, my parents and Vanessa lit up with joy.
01:04:58Like they had all just been handed their lives back.
01:05:00And not one of them cared about the word hallucinations.
01:05:03Not one.
01:05:04Victor nearly started crying on the spot.
01:05:06He was so excited he could barely stand still.
01:05:08I knew it!
01:05:09I knew Jason was blessed!
01:05:10He's always had luck on his side!
01:05:13Vanessa, did you hear that?
01:05:15Jason's okay!
01:05:16We have money.
01:05:17As long as he's still breathing, we can save him.
01:05:20We'll spend whatever it takes.
01:05:21Vanessa finally let out a long breath.
01:05:23A smile of pure relief broke across her face.
01:05:25Like she had just survived a nightmare.
01:05:27Then the smile froze.
01:05:28Right there on her face.
01:05:29Because suddenly she remembered.
01:05:31Half an hour ago she had shoved her ex-husband into the ocean.
01:05:33With her own hands.
01:05:34Forced him down there.
01:05:35To save Jason.
01:05:36He is lying in a hospital now.
01:05:37A lie.
01:05:37So where was Ethan?
01:05:39I had already been underwater for over thirty minutes.
01:05:41And there was still no sign of me.
01:05:42Not even a trace.
01:05:43A terrible thought started rising in her mind.
01:05:45But before she could think it through,
01:05:46Owen took a file from one of his officers.
01:05:48His expression turned strange.
01:05:50Cold.
01:05:50Sharp.
01:05:51Almost mocking.
01:05:52Then he looked straight at them and spoke again.
01:05:55Well.
01:05:56If you're his family.
01:05:57That actually makes this easier.
01:05:59He opened the document.
01:06:00Then announced it on the spot.
01:06:02As of this moment.
01:06:03Jason Cole is in custody.
01:06:04He is suspected of stealing protected underwater artifacts.
01:06:08And suspected of murder.
01:06:11That landed like a thunderclap.
01:06:13The next.
01:06:13They were dragged straight into the dirt.
01:06:15The smile on my dad's face froze.
01:06:16Then his whole face turned dark.
01:06:18Pointed right at Owen.
01:06:20What the hell are you talking about?
01:06:22Stealing artifacts?
01:06:23Murder?
01:06:23Our company practically built this town.
01:06:26My son Jason is one of the most well-known philanthropists.
01:06:28He's still lying in a hospital bed.
01:06:30And you people dare dump this kind of filth on him?
01:06:33My mom rushed up too.
01:06:34She tried to shove Owen.
01:06:35That's right.
01:06:36Do you even know how many schools Jason has donated to?
01:06:39He won't even hurt a fly.
01:06:41How could he possibly steal anything?
01:06:44How could he kill anyone?
01:06:46Vanessa stepped up too.
01:06:47Putting on that cold, untouchable CEO act.
01:06:50Officer, watch what you say.
01:06:51You can't just throw accusations around.
01:06:53I'm the chair of Lane Group.
01:06:55Jason is my husband.
01:06:57If you try to set him up with fake charges,
01:06:59one phone call and your career is over.
01:07:02They were shouting.
01:07:03Threatening.
01:07:04But Owen only got colder.
01:07:05He didn't argue.
01:07:06He just tapped open another video.
01:07:08Jason scrambled backward from empty air.
01:07:10Like something horrifying was standing right in front of him.
01:07:13His whole body was shaking violently.
01:07:14His face was twisted with pure terror.
01:07:18He had been down dozens of feet underwater when the toxin hit.
01:07:20The hallucinations were strong.
01:07:22Don't come over here.
01:07:23Ah!
01:07:24Don't come near me.
01:07:25Zach, I know I messed up.
01:07:26Don't kill me.
01:07:27My parents went white.
01:07:28Their lips trembled.
01:07:29Their eyes stayed glued to the screen.
01:07:31I got greedy.
01:07:33I never should have cut your arrows.
01:07:35I'm so sorry.
01:07:36I'll do whatever it takes to make it right.
01:07:38No, no, don't take me with you.
01:07:40He started smashing his forehead against the deck.
01:07:42Over and over.
01:07:46Then all at once, the fear vanished.
01:07:48His face changed, turned vicious.
01:07:49A grin spread across it, twisted, like a demon laughing.
01:07:52He gestured into the empty air and cackled.
01:07:55Ethan, you idiot!
01:07:56You never saw this coming, did you?
01:07:58That idiot, Vanessa.
01:08:00She actually thought I was the one who saved her.
01:08:02All I did was show her a little scar.
01:08:03And she fell for me completely.
01:08:05She played those two old fans like a fettle.
01:08:07She got me into that house.
01:08:08My dad forced his neck straight, still trying to fight it.
01:08:11I just played the victim.
01:08:12And they treated me like a king while they threw you away.
01:08:15Sent your pathetic ass to rot.
01:08:17Ha ha ha ha!
01:08:18God, that felt damn good.
01:08:19You can rot in prison forever.
01:08:20Everything from the coals and everything from the lanes will be mine!
01:08:24Dead silence.
01:08:25Only Jason's crazed laughter kept echoing from the video.
01:08:28Across the deck, Vanessa stumbled back two steps.
01:08:30She almost fell right there on the deck.
01:08:32That was their precious son.
01:08:33Her precious husband.
01:08:34The man they defended like he was gold.
01:08:37And now he was on video.
01:08:38Grinning like a devil.
01:08:39Mocking them for being fools.
01:08:41No.
01:08:42That's impossible.
01:08:43You said...
01:08:45He was poisoned.
01:08:48He was hallucinating.
01:08:49He was talking nonsense.
01:08:51Exactly.
01:08:52That's all this is.
01:08:54He was hallucinating.
01:08:56He didn't know what he was saying.
01:08:57Yes!
01:09:00It was the toxin!
01:09:02That sea salt toxin made him ramble!
01:09:04Owen's voice turned firm.
01:09:05I figured that's what you'd say.
01:09:07Which is exactly why we move fast.
01:09:09This involves a major attempted murder case.
01:09:12So we already formed an investigation team.
01:09:15And verified everything he said.
01:09:18Then Owen pulled out another stack of documents.
01:09:21We found that the statements Ethan gave after his arrest eight years ago did not match the physical evidence from
01:09:27the scene.
01:09:28And there's more.
01:09:30Ethan's defense attorney turned on him at trial.
01:09:32The day before the trial, a large payment hit his account.
01:09:37We traced the source.
01:09:38It came from one of your offshore accounts, Vanessa.
01:09:40Vanessa's face went white.
01:09:42And Jason's private account received multiple large wire transfers after the incident that year.
01:09:47The source was hidden.
01:09:48But we now have strong reason to believe that money came from selling stolen artifacts.
01:09:51We believe the case was not what it seemed.
01:09:53Please cooperate with the investigation.
01:09:55You're coming with us.
01:09:56The Coast Guard officers were just about to move in.
01:09:58Then Adam finally broke.
01:10:00He swallowed hard.
01:10:01Then stammered out.
01:10:03Officer.
01:10:04Wait.
01:10:06This still isn't over.
01:10:08Ethan.
01:10:09Ethan Cole!
01:10:11He's still down there.
01:10:12He never came back up.
01:10:15What did you just say?
01:10:17Owen whipped around.
01:10:18His eyes widened instantly.
01:10:21There's still someone underwater?
01:10:23Adam's legs nearly gave out.
01:10:24He started spilling everything.
01:10:26About half an hour ago,
01:10:28Ms. Lane pushed Ethan into the water.
01:10:30He said his ear was injured.
01:10:32Said he couldn't handle the pressure.
01:10:33But Ms. Lane insisted.
01:10:35She forced him to go down.
01:10:37And now,
01:10:38he still hasn't surfaced.
01:10:40Three days later,
01:10:41Harbor City Hospital.
01:10:42Jason finally woke up.
01:10:44His body was still weak.
01:10:45He twitched his fingers.
01:10:47Then realized the bed was surrounded.
01:10:49Mom.
01:10:49Dad.
01:10:50Vanessa.
01:10:51And several police officers in uniform.
01:10:53A flash of joy hit him.
01:10:54With all these people here,
01:10:55they had to be worried sick about him.
01:10:56He quickly changed his expression.
01:10:58Forced tears into his eyes.
01:10:59Then weakly reached for Susan's hand.
01:11:01Dad.
01:11:02Dad.
01:11:04Vanessa.
01:11:05I was so scared.
01:11:06I had the worst nightmare.
01:11:08I dreamed I was trapped underwater.
01:11:11I thought I'd never see you again.
01:11:13Before,
01:11:14that would have worked.
01:11:15Susan would have rushed over already.
01:11:17She would have held him.
01:11:18Cried over him.
01:11:18But today,
01:11:19the room was terrifyingly quiet.
01:11:21No one spoke.
01:11:22Only the monitor kept beeping.
01:11:23Steady.
01:11:24Cold.
01:11:24Jason's hand hung there in midair.
01:11:26Awkward.
01:11:27Stiff.
01:11:27That was when he realized something was wrong.
01:11:29Victor wasn't fussing over him.
01:11:31The man who had always spoiled him
01:11:32was standing at the foot of the bed.
01:11:33His face was...
01:11:34Black with rage.
01:11:35And the way he looked at Jason now,
01:11:37there was no warmth left.
01:11:38No love.
01:11:39Dad?
01:11:40What's wrong?
