05:35C'est ce que c'est ce que c'est ce que c'est.
06:17C'est ce que c'est ce que c'est ce que c'est ce que c'est.
06:35Go to your place.
06:37I have the right to eat here.
06:39Same as Brittany.
06:41Refusing me would be unequal treatment.
06:45Brittany's eyes glistened.
06:47No tears yet.
06:48Just the thread of them, perfectly calibrated.
06:53My mother's face softened toward her
06:56Then she turned to me with a different expression entirely
06:58Valentina, she's still not comfortable eating with you
07:01Seeing you upsets her
07:03Can't you just take your plate to your corner, like always?
07:06No, I want to eat here, now
07:08My father hurled his fork
07:10It clattered across the polished wood and hit the floor
07:15Valentina, are you trying to start something?
07:17Right as tension was building in the dining room
07:20The chips behind my parents' and brother's ears
07:23All started sparking with faint electricity at the same time
07:26The new fairness system was about to kick in
07:31I just smiled and counted down in my head
07:34Three
07:35Two
07:42One
07:44Save them, please, save them
07:47His body seized, spine snapping backward
07:50And he hit the floor with a sound that echoed off the vaulted ceiling
07:53The tremors ran through him in waves
07:55My mother dropped a second later
07:57The electricity made a sound like static in wet air
08:02My brother doubled over
08:04Grapping his stomach and rolling on the floor
08:06With foam coming out of his mouth
08:08Dad?
08:10Mom?
08:11Brother?
08:12Brittany rushed forward
08:14The moment her fingers touched our parents
08:16She caught a shock of her own
08:17She was shocked and immediately jerked her hand back
08:20Crying and shouting at the maids and the butchler
08:22Save them!
08:23Please!
08:24Save them!
08:26But the maids all knew what was really going on
08:28For three minutes, no one could do anything but watch
08:36When it stopped, my father clawed his way upright
08:39His face had aged a decade
08:42What the hell did they put in us?
08:44It can't just...
08:45Electrocute us for nothing
08:48Brittany Costello has been served a full dinner at the family table
08:52Valentina Costello has been instructed to eat leftovers in her quarters
08:56This constitutes severe favoritism
08:58System-adminiatured current produces pain without lasting injury
09:02Escalation up to level 10 pain index is authorized when necessary
09:06My father's breath came in ragged gasps
09:08Brittany gave up her place for that girl
09:10She sacrificed plenty
09:12Asking Valina to eat a seply is basic consideration
09:15What kind of broken system punishes consideration?
09:17I'm getting it removed
09:18All interpretive authority belongs to the system
09:21Contract duration, lifetime
09:24No early termination option available
09:26My mother's voice was softer than I'd ever heard it
09:29That punishment just now...
09:31That was level 10, right?
09:33Merely level 5
09:34I watched them absorb this information
09:36Watched the fear settle into their bones
09:39Level 5
09:40Halfway up the scale
09:41Halfway
09:42Something warm and unfamiliar bloomed across my face
09:47This system was going to be magnificent
09:50I'd nearly vomited when a seafood course arrived
09:53My mother gestured weakly at an empty chair
09:56It's just dinner
09:57Sit down
09:58Eat
09:59I took my place at the table
10:01The dining room was still settling from the earlier chaos
10:04When I decided to push further
10:06I looked at the spread in front of me
10:08Lobster bisque
10:09Seared foie gras
10:10A sashimi platter arranged in the shape of a crethanthium
10:13All of it catered to Brittany's palate
10:16I'd like something else
10:18Just a simple salad
10:20Or sautéed greens
10:22My mother's jaw tightened
10:23The chef went home an hour ago
10:26We're not calling him back for a salad
10:27Eat what's on the table
10:28Brittany reached across
10:30And deposited a slice of translucent raw tuna
10:33Onto my plate
10:34The fish glistened under the chandelier
10:37Here sister
10:38This is light
10:39You'll enjoy it
10:41She knew
10:41Last month
10:42At a family dinner
10:43I'd been permitted to attend
10:45I'd nearly vomited
10:46When a seafood course arrived
10:48Brittany had watched me excuse myself
10:50With an expression I couldn't read then
10:51Now I understood
10:53She'd been filing the information away
10:55I pushed the tuna aside
10:56And waited
10:57Three seconds
10:58Two
10:59One
11:02Disparity detected
11:04Enforcement initiated
11:06My mother's chair toppled backward
11:08She hit the floor hard
11:09Her composure shattering along with one of her veneers
11:12Porcelain splinters scuttered across the hardwood
11:17Why? What did I do to deserve this again?
11:21I'd asked for something and received it
11:23Catherine Costolo spent four hours overseeing the preparation of Brittany's preferred dishels
11:29She has never once inquired about Validateria's dietary needs or aversions
11:35System records confirm Valentin experiences nausea triggered by raw protein
11:40Penalty assessed at level three
11:42My mother's hands trembled as she pulled herself upright
11:50Without a word
11:51She walked to the kitchen
11:53Twenty minutes later
11:54A plate of stir-fried veggies landed beside my elbow
12:00There
12:01Your greens
12:05Brittany watched her shishishi platter get cleared away
12:08Her expression flittering between fury and disbelief
12:13I ate slowly, savoring every bite
12:16For the first time in this house, I'd asked for something and received it
12:22I stayed at the table and said calmly
12:25I want a proper room
12:26My father's hand paused
12:28The glass halfway to his lips
12:34Excuse me?
12:37I've been sleeping in the utility closet for three months
12:41The ventilation doesn't reach it
12:43There's mold in the corner
12:48I want a bedroom equivalent to Brittany's
12:51I'm asking for what belongs to a family member
12:56That's insane!
12:57My room was designed by a Parisian architect who's been dead for a decade
13:01The furniture is custom
13:02The linens are hand-embroidered
13:05You can't just replicate it
13:07I didn't look at her
13:08I kept my eyes on my parents
13:10If she has it, I should have it
13:14That's the principle, isn't it?
13:18Marcus stepped forward and grabbed me by the collar
13:21Valentina
13:22Enough!
13:25What exactly do you think you're doing?
13:27Are you trying to destroy this family?
13:30You think you're worthy of the same room as Brittany?
13:35I'm asking for what belongs to a family member
13:39If you don't think I'm worthy
13:42Then why did you bring me back in the first place?
13:47Marcus froze
13:48He let go of me and looked at my parents
13:50The silence stretched
13:52And I watched them calculate
13:54The memory of electricity versus the cost of renovation
13:57The inconvenience versus the pain threshold
14:02My mother spoke first
14:06Brittany, let Valentina use your room tonight
14:09Tomorrow I'll have contractors convert the East Guest Suite
14:12Brittany was stunned
14:14What?
14:15My room goes to her?
14:17Then where am I supposed to sleep tonight?
14:20According to the principle of fairness
14:22You should sleep in the storage room I used to stay in
14:28There has to be a way around this system
14:30Brittany broke down
14:32Tears came
14:33But they didn't help
14:35Catherine was stuck
14:39Marcus almost spoke
14:40But the chip behind his ear flashed
14:43And he stopped
14:46My father's face went dark as he announced it
14:52I'll make calls in the morning
14:54There has to be a way around this system
14:57Someone in the governor's office owes me a favor
15:01Hearing my father's words
15:02Brittany stopped crying
15:05When she passed my chair
15:07She leaned close enough that I could smell her perfume
15:12Enjoy it while it lasts
15:15You think a machine can protect you forever?
15:18I met her eyes
15:22My machine might not last forever
15:24But your guardian angel won't even last a day
15:27Oh wait
15:28Not even a minute
15:31Brittany's face twisted with fury
15:33But she forced a fake smile
15:35Sweet dreams in your new room, sister?
15:40Brittany's little gift
15:41A golden cobra
15:45I heard the threat beneath her words
15:52But that was fine
15:54She'd learned soon enough
15:56The only reason she'd ever had peace
15:58Was that I let her
16:02If I were to start a war
16:05Nobody could make me lose
16:08At night
16:09I stepped into Brittany's 15-year-old princess cage
16:12The curtains
16:13Silk
16:14$3,000 per square meter
16:17My clothes
16:18Rags
16:19$10 for 10 pieces
16:22I was about to admire my new room
16:24When something slithered under the door
16:27Brittany's little gift
16:28A golden cobra
16:35I grabbed it
16:38I don't want to hurt you
16:41But you picked the wrong side
16:47Snake!
16:48Why the hell is this snake here?
16:51Outside the room
16:52Brittany and Marcus were snickling with each other
16:57Just wait till you hear her scream
17:00If she wants to take my room
17:01She's gotta pay the price
17:06But they waited and waited
17:07And still no scream came
17:10Marcus finally lost his patience
17:16What the hell is going on?
17:18Let's go check
17:19They crept carefully toward my new room
17:22Pressing their ears against the door crack
17:24Trying to catch any sounds from inside
17:28Suddenly
17:29Brittany felt something ice cold against her heel
17:32She glanced down under the dim hallway light
17:34There
17:35Lying right at her feet
17:36Was the body of a golden snake
17:37Its cold scaly skin
17:39Pressed directly against the bare skin of her heel
17:43Brittany's eyes widened in sheer terror
17:47Snake!
17:48Why the hell is this snake here?
17:50No one heard me scream
17:54But Brittany
17:55She screamed the whole night
17:58Valentina Costello, 71
18:00I knew Brittany wouldn't let it go
18:02So when I walked to the garage the next morning
18:04And found the Bentley's back seat drenched in red paint
18:06I wasn't surprised
18:07Brittany stood by the passenger door
18:09Dressed in pressed linen
18:10Her expression arranged into theatrical regret
18:14Oh no
18:15I was going to offer you a ride
18:17But there's been an accident
18:19Paint everywhere
18:20Such a shame
18:22Marcus tossed me a folding umbrella
18:25Mom and dad both took the other cars
18:28You'll have to walk
18:29He paused, touched the chip behind his ear
18:31And added impatiently
18:33You can take the car home tonight
18:35That balance is out
18:36Walking to school now meant arriving
18:38Soaked in sweat
18:39Walking home tonight
18:41When the temperature dropped
18:43Meant nothing
18:47This wasn't fairness
18:49It was a shell game
18:50I pulled out my phone and tapped a few keys
18:52Soon the system's voice rang out among the three of us
18:55Health assessment
18:56Brittany Costello, 85
18:58Valentina Costello, 71
19:01Resource allocation adjusted
19:03Valentina claims vehicular transport for this trip
19:07Brittany's face dropped
19:10What does that even mean?
19:11Health scores!
19:12System metrics are proprietary and non-negotiable
19:15The words hung in the garage like a verdict
19:18I opened the passenger door
19:21You heard the system
19:23Out
19:24The system has health metrics
19:26How was I supposed to know that?
19:30That's my car
19:33Was
19:36I yanked Brittany out of the car
19:38Shoved her off
19:39Got in
19:39And slammed the door
19:43Brittany ran to Marcus sobbing
19:45But he didn't dare get in my way
19:47He was terrified of the electric shock
19:51Ignoring them
19:52I just signaled the driver
19:55No seats left
19:56Move out
20:00The car pulled away
20:01Leaving Brittany and Marcus
20:03Standing in the garage
20:05Brittany's face contorted
20:06Into something ugly
20:07Beneath her careful makeup
20:09That evening
20:10The shouting reached my new room
20:11From two floors down
20:12Your idea Marcus
20:14I walked four miles
20:15Your idea Marcus
20:19I walked four miles today
20:20Do you know
20:21What that
20:22That kind of heat
20:23Does to a $70 blowout?
20:25Don't put this on me
20:26The system has health metrics
20:27How was I supposed to know that?
20:30My mother sat on the sofa
20:33My father was on the phone
20:35With a lawyer
20:35Do whatever it takes
20:38Get rid of that
20:39Fairness system
20:40Now
20:44The lawyer's response
20:46Came quickly
20:48Sorry
20:48It's a lifetime lock-in
20:50No way out
20:54My father collapsed
20:56Onto the sofa
20:56Staring into nothing
20:58Catherine's tears fell
21:01What now
21:02The system must be wrong
21:03Brittany walked four miles today
21:06How could this be
21:07I closed the door softly
21:11And sat on my new bed
21:13Three nights later
21:15My door slammed open
21:16At two in the morning
21:21Brittany stood in the hallway
21:22Her robe cinched tight
21:24Her face luminous
21:26With something that looked
21:26Almost like joy
21:30Your little winning streak
21:32Ends tomorrow
21:32Father's announcing
21:34The share allocation
21:34For the company
21:35It's going to be based
21:37On academic performance
21:38Marcus and I
21:40Have been top ranked
21:41For years
21:41You?
21:43She smiled
21:45You've been failing
21:48I sat up slowly
21:50You're certain
21:51My performance
21:52Is worse than yours
21:53But standardized tests
21:55Were different
21:55Of course
21:58She twirled a strand
21:59Of her hair
21:59With her finger
22:00Looking smug
22:03I've seen your transcripts
22:04You're a joke
22:05In the junior class
22:07Without grades
22:08You get nothing
22:11Without shares
22:12You're just a girl
22:13Sleeping in a guest room
22:14That can be taken away
22:15When the system's gone
22:18I reached for my phone
22:19And opened the testing portal
22:21My St. Augustine's grades
22:23Were abysmal
22:24A direct result
22:25Of three years
22:26Of stolen homework
22:27Sabotage labs
22:28And the kind of
22:29Low-grade terror
22:30That made focusing
22:31In class impossible
22:33But standardized tests
22:34Were different
22:35They were administered
22:37Off-site
22:37Proctacted by strangers
22:39Graded by machines
22:40I'd been taking them
22:42Quietly for months
22:43I opened the latest
22:44Score report
22:4599th percentiled
22:47First in the district
22:48I lifted my gaze
22:50To Brittany's
22:51Victorious smirk
22:55I stand by
22:56Father's share decision
22:58Tomorrow was going
22:59To be very interesting
23:02Since Valentina
23:04Doesn't dare to look
23:04I'll open it myself
23:05The share allocation
23:07Hit the company portal
23:08At seven in the morning
23:10Brittany came down
23:11The stairs
23:11Already smiling
23:13Check the portal
23:14Valentina
23:15I think you'll find
23:16The numbers interesting
23:18How dare she
23:19She's a complete loser
23:20Now you know
23:21Don't say that
23:23Valentina is your sister
23:24Catherine walked over
23:26Her tenderness
23:27Laced with falseness
23:28Valentina
23:29Your grades are terrible
23:31So you're bound
23:32To get no shares
23:33But that's okay
23:34You're still my daughter
23:36Go ahead and check
23:38The allocation results
23:39I didn't respond
23:40Instead
23:41I turned to my father
23:45My father gave a light cough
23:49Since Valentina
23:50Doesn't dare to look
23:51I'll open it myself
23:53The equity allocation
23:54Results from the system
23:55Might be harsh
23:56But Valentina
23:57You have to learn
23:58To face them eventually
23:59After all
24:00This is the price
24:01Of not studying hard
24:03After saying this
24:04My father opened
24:05His tablet
24:06But the next second
24:07The color drained
24:08From his face
24:13What the hell is this
24:15Dad you said
24:16I was getting 40%
24:19I didn't need to look
24:23I'd already seen
24:24The notification
24:24On my own phone
24:26Costello Enterprises
24:27Equity restructuring
24:29Valentina Costella
24:3065% controlling interest
24:32Marcus Costello
24:3335%
24:35Brittany Costello
24:350%
24:40That's not possible
24:42Brittany set down her cup
24:44With a clatter
24:45Dad you said
24:47I was getting 40%
24:48You promised me 40%
24:55My father was already dialing
24:57His hands shook
24:59As he pressed the phone
25:00To his ear
25:01Tell me this is a mistake
25:02Tell me someone
25:04In your office
25:05Fat figured the filing
25:07His lawyer's voice
25:08Carried through the speaker
25:09Tinny and panicked
25:11It wasn't us
25:13The system overrode everything
25:15We filed your allocation
25:16And 30 seconds later
25:18This came back
25:19We have no authority
25:20To amend it
25:24How could Valentina be first
25:26This is my company
25:28My shares
25:30My decision
25:31What gives a piece
25:33Of government software
25:34The right
25:34To redistribute my assets
25:36Academic performance metrics
25:38Have been evaluated
25:39The system's voice came
25:42Marcus Costello
25:45Cumulative high school ranking
25:47Fifth
25:48Valentina Costello
25:49Cumulative high school ranking
25:51First
25:52Brittany Costello
25:53Does not meet
25:54The eligibility
25:55Kyoterians
25:56For Costello
25:57Bloodline inheritance
25:58According to the last will
25:59And testament of Giovanni Costello
26:01The family patriarch
26:03Costello assets may only transfer
26:05To blood descendants
26:06Or charitable organizations
26:07The system is bound to enforce this provision
26:10The system is bound to enforce this provision
26:11Brittany's face went white
26:13How could Valentina be first?
26:16She's nothing but a waste
26:17Her grades are worthless
26:19Marcus slammed his fist against the counter
26:22A coffee cup shattered
26:23A coffee cup shattered
26:24This is bullshit
26:25Are we really supposed to let a glitchy system allocate our shares?
26:29The system is clearly malfunctioning
26:31Valentina may be my daughter
26:33But three years ago
26:34She was still a beggar locked in a cage
26:37Fighting stray dogs for scraps
26:38At Catherine's words
26:40The last stray of warm in my face
26:42Dropped to zero
26:44So you finally spoke your mind, Catherine?
26:47I looked at Catherine
26:49Fearless as I exposed
26:50Every layer of her hypocrisy
26:54You keep saying I'm your daughter
26:56But the first time you saw me
26:57In that cage
26:58Ever since
27:00I've been nothing but a stray dog to you
27:08The challenger must post a bond
27:10Of one hundred million dollars
27:12Catherine was caught off guard
27:13By the truth she didn't want to admit
27:15And panic began to show on her face
27:20Valentina, what are you talking about?
27:21You are my daughter
27:22That's an indisputable fact
27:24But you've been far too harsh on Brittany lately
27:28And I had to speak the truth
27:30In order to balance the love I give to both of you
27:35Truth, what if I told you that I got first place?
27:38That's the truth
27:38Catherine froze for a moment
27:40Then let out an uncontrollable laugh
27:44Marcus and Brittany laughed along with her
27:48Cut the crap
27:49You were in a dog cage until 15
27:51You can't have grades like that in three years
27:56The system's wrong
27:57I want a manual review
27:59Challenge accepted
28:00The system will initiate a manual review
28:02But the challenger must post a bond
28:05Of one hundred million dollars
28:06If the challenge is successful
28:08The prior ruling will be reversed
28:11If it fails
28:12The bond goes straight to the national treasury
28:16Wait
28:16A hundred million?
28:20What are you waiting for?
28:22Brittany is crying
28:23That was no small amount
28:25It was all they had left
28:28Giovanni wavered
28:29Brittany suddenly burst into tears
28:36Dad, Mom
28:37Forget it
28:38I'm not your real daughter
28:39I don't fit in here
28:40I don't deserve anything
28:43Stop challenging it
28:44I'll accept the result
28:50Her tears erased the last shred of doubt
28:53In Giovanni and Catherine
28:55Catherine pulled Brittany into her arms
29:01Sweetheart, of course you're my daughter
29:03You're the one I've raised and loved for 18 years
29:07She turned to Giovanni
29:08Her voice hardening with resolve
29:13What are you waiting for?
29:15Brittany is crying
29:16We're her parents
29:17We have to stand up for her
29:21Giovanni nodded
29:22His decision made
29:24System
29:24One hundred million on the line
29:26Challenger grades
29:28Verify
29:29Move
29:29Got it
29:31Freezing the Challenger's assets worth one hundred million dollars
29:35Initiating manual verification mode
29:37As the fairness system's voice faded
29:41A live feed appeared on the main screen
29:45Seated in the frame were official examiners
29:48From the government education authority
29:50We have accepted the invitation
29:53From the government's fairness system
29:56To uphold its credibility
29:58We will broadcast this process live
30:00And publicly disclosure Valentina's test scores
30:03Within minutes
30:05The live stream viewership crossed 10 million
30:09On screen
30:11The officials were pulling up my exam papers
30:13They would soon display my standardized test scores
30:16Subject by subject
30:22Just then Catherine walked over to me
30:24Valentina just apologize
30:27You couldn't have scored that high
30:29Admit to the system that you cheated
30:32When this is over
30:33There will still be a place for you and our family
30:37I looked at Catherine
30:38Wearing that magnanimous expression
30:40And I couldn't bring myself to laugh
30:43You're wrong
30:45If anyone owes an apology
30:46It's all of you
30:49Valentina
30:50Your family finally belongs to me completely
30:56Catherine's expression completely frozen
30:58Mom
30:59Don't you see?
31:00She's still daydreaming
31:01Trying to use some system loophole
31:03To steal the company's shares
31:05But now that the manual review is underway
31:07And the officials are personally handling it
31:09There's no room for fraud
31:11Her little scheme has fallen through
31:16Catherine let out a disappointed sigh
31:19Valentina
31:20If I'd known you had such malicious intentions
31:21I never should have brought you back
31:25Valenta
31:25Once this fairness system messes over
31:28Get back in your cage
31:29Go be a stray dog
31:31The Costello family has no place for you
31:34I didn't feel sad
31:35In fact
31:36I should thank the fairness system
31:38For tearing away the fake masks
31:40They'd been wearing all these years
31:43Brittany smiled smugly
31:45Her triumphant look seemed to say
31:48Valentina
31:48Your family finally belongs to me completely
31:51I paid no attention to her self-satisfaction
31:55Right at that moment
31:56The officials on the Halonic screen
31:58Wrapped up their review
32:02The truth was coming
32:05She came from nowhere
32:08How could she?
32:09School confirms
32:10The scores of Valentina Costello
32:13Including proacted standardized tests
32:16Are consistent with top-tlee performance
32:19When the verification results came out
32:21The color drained from Giovanni's face
32:23Along with his hundred million dollars
32:26It's real
32:28How is that even possible?
32:31Catherine collapsed onto the sofa
32:34Marcus stared
32:36Wide-eyed
32:37Unable to get a word out
32:39Only Britain screamed at the screen
32:43Standardized tests!
32:44What standardized tests?
32:46The ones administered by the state board
32:48Off-campus pro-tarring
32:50She's ranked first in the district
32:52Brittany's composure cracked
32:58That's not possible!
33:00She came from nowhere!
33:02How could she?
33:03You want to know?
33:09I'll tell you exactly
33:11How a stray dog crawled out of that cage
33:15And crawled her way to the top of the whole district
33:18In three years
33:20So I studied
33:21Every time
33:23Before the screen
33:25The live stream audience
33:26Had hit over a hundred million
33:27I didn't hold back
33:29I told them everything
33:33I am the long-lost biological daughter
33:35Of the Costello family
33:36From day one back in this house
33:38I was put in a five-square-meter storage room
33:41With three boxes of Brittany's old textbooks
33:43They said I smelled like bird shit
33:45And dog fur
33:47As long as Brittany
33:48Their adopted daughter was home
33:49I wasn't allowed out
33:52So 23 hours a day
33:53I was locked in there
33:56All I could do was read
33:58Eventually I memorized every book in that room
34:02And they let me go to school
34:06But Brittany made sure everyone knew
34:08I used to eat with dogs
34:09And carry their diseases
34:10So no one at school
34:12Ever talked to me
34:15No friends
34:16No distractions
34:16Just studying
34:20Birthday banquets
34:21I wasn't there
34:22Family vacations
34:23I wasn't invited
34:25Shopping
34:26Spa trips
34:27Afternoon tea
34:28I was never part of it
34:29So I studied
34:30Every time
34:32For three years
34:33I didn't waste a single hour
34:35My scores went from zero
34:36To full marks
34:37To number one
34:39In the district
34:40I looked at the Costello family's
34:43Stiff dark faces
34:44And smiled
34:45That's how I became
34:46A straight-A student
34:48You get it now?
34:49They were electrocuted again
34:51For a full three minutes
34:54Now it wasn't just
34:55The Costello family
34:56Who understood
34:57The 103 million viewers
34:59Watching the live stream
35:00Understood too
35:01What the hell is wrong
35:04With these people?
35:05Are they even parents?
35:07This is straight-up abuse
35:09Their stock should tank to zero
35:12That bitch Brittany
35:14She deserves to rot in hell
35:19The whole Costello family
35:21Can burn in a fire
35:22The curses poured through the screen
35:24Almost shattering their eardrums
35:26The whole Costello family
35:29That bitch
35:30Catherine and Giovanni
35:31Covered their ears
35:32She deserves to rot in hell
35:33Marcus and Brittany
35:34Let out hysterical screams
35:41Then Catherine, Giovanni
35:43And Marky
35:44Were instantly engulped
35:45In electric bars
35:46They were electrocuted again
35:48For a full three minutes
35:50Three minutes later
35:51The screen went dark
35:53The fairness system's voice
35:55Rang out again
35:56Mr. Costello
35:58Your 100 million dollars
36:00Have been forfeited
36:01To the treasury
36:02And your shares
36:03Have been fully allocated
36:05Any questions?
36:06Giovanni struggled to his feet
36:08His voice trembling and weak
36:11This is a family misunderstanding
36:13I request to revoke
36:15The share distribution
36:17This is my own money
36:18I want to cancel this decision
36:20Return of shares
36:21Requires unanimous consent
36:22From all recipients
36:24Do all parties agree
36:26To reverse the allocation?
36:28Yes!
36:29I agree!
36:32Fine
36:32Whatever
36:34Agreed
36:36They all turned to look at me
36:43No, I don't agree
36:46The electricity
36:47Caught him mid-stride
36:49My mother crossed to my side
36:53She took my hand
36:54With a tenderness
36:55I'd never felt
36:56From her before
36:56Valentina
36:58Sweetheart
36:59You're a smart girl
37:00You understand
37:01That your father
37:01Spent 30 years
37:02Building this company
37:03These shares
37:04Aren't a toy
37:05They're leverage
37:06Relationships
37:07People's livelihoods
37:08Letting the system
37:09Restribute them
37:10Like poker chips
37:10Would destroy
37:11Everything he's worked for
37:12My father nodded vigorously
37:14Seizing the thread
37:15Exactly
37:15You're too young
37:16To manage this kind
37:17Of responsibility
37:18Sign the shares back
37:19We'll set up a trust for you
37:20Something fair
37:20Something that protects
37:21Your interests
37:22But the company
37:23Needs to stay
37:23Where it belongs
37:24I withdrew my hand
37:25From my mother's grip
37:26The system's allocation
37:27Seems perfectly reasonable
37:28To me
37:29Marcus gets a third
37:30I get the rest
37:31Brittany gets
37:32What she's entitled to
37:34I met Britain's eyes
37:35And said
37:37Nothing
37:40My father lunged
37:42He didn't make it
37:43Two steps
37:44The electricity
37:45Caught him mid-stride
37:47And dropped him
37:48Onto the marble floor
37:49Convulsing
37:50My mother stood frozen
37:52Her expression
37:52Caught between fury
37:53And terror
37:54She couldn't touch him
37:56Couldn't help him
37:58Could only watch
37:59As the current
37:59Ran its course
38:06She turned to me
38:07With a smile
38:08So forced
38:09It looked surgical
38:13Let's be reasonable
38:14Family disputes
38:16Shouldn't be settled
38:16By machines
38:17We're your parents
38:18We love you
38:19You ungrateful
38:21What, bitch
38:22Say it
38:23The word love
38:24Landed like a counterfeit bill
38:26When you bound us
38:26To this system
38:27You told me it was
38:28To ensure Brittany
38:29Wasn't mistreated
38:29But she was never
38:31The one being mistreated
38:32She was the one doing it
38:33I ate leftovers
38:35While she had private chefs
38:37I sweated in a closet
38:39While she slept
38:40In a custom designed suite
38:42Her friends
38:43Poisoned my food
38:44And destroyed my coursework
38:46And when I begged you
38:47To help me
38:48You called me a liar
38:51I looked at my mother
38:55That's not love
38:56That's not even neglect
38:58That's complicity
39:00You wanted the system
39:01Now you have it
39:03Learn the rules, adult
39:06My father dragged himself
39:08Into a chair
39:08His breathing ragged
39:10You ungrateful
39:11What, bitch
39:13Say it
39:13The system's listening
39:19He swallowed the word
39:20The effort looked painful
39:22No one had anything
39:23To say after that
39:27I went upstairs to pack
39:28And moved out
39:31After that live scream
39:32Videos of Brittany's
39:34Long-term bullying
39:35At school were exposed
39:36And it even came out
39:37That she had bribed
39:38School officials
39:39And bought exam answers
39:42The Costello family's
39:43Situation went from
39:44Bad to worse
39:45Their stock price plummeted
39:50I saw them again
39:51In a video online
39:53In the video
39:54Brittany stood at
39:55The company entrance
39:56Her hair unwashed
39:57And her clothes wrinkled
39:58She was screaming at markets
39:59You have shares
40:00You have 35%
40:01You can't just let me starve
40:04You've been alone out here
40:05I've been so worried
40:08I'm not your bank
40:10You're not even a Costello
40:12You're a charity case
40:13That overstayed her welcome
40:14You used to love me
40:16You said I was your real sister
40:18I was wrong
40:20He shoved her
40:20Not hard enough to hurt
40:22Just hard enough to make her stumble
40:23Backward off the step
40:24Brittany landed on the gravel
40:26Her palms scraping against the stones
40:28My mother appeared in the doorway
40:30Her face drawn and exhausted
40:33Marcus don't
40:34She's still your
40:35What sister
40:36She's nothing
40:37She's the reason the company is tanking
40:39The reason we're bleeding contracts
40:40The reason everyone in this city
40:42Thinks we're monsters
40:43She's not family
40:45She's a liability
40:46Brittany stayed on the ground
40:48Her face turned away from the camera
40:50The video cut off
40:52I stopped looking at them
40:56I started researching universities
40:59Somewhere far from here
41:02The doorbell rang suddenly
41:03I walked over and opened the door
41:07Catherine was standing outside
41:09Valentina
41:10Sweetheart
41:12You've been alone out here
41:13I've been so worried
41:15She reached for me
41:16I stepped back
41:19What do you want, Catherine?
41:21Marcus told you to stop giving Brittany money
41:24The name landed like a slap
41:28She'd always been mom to me
41:30Even when she didn't deserve it
41:32Calling her Catherine was a declaration
41:36I watched her register it
41:38She recovered quickly
41:40I want you to come home
41:42This situation has gone on long enough
41:46We've made changes
41:47Your father and I want to make things right
41:51What kind of changes?
41:53Everything
41:53Whatever you want
41:55Your room is still there
41:57The real one
41:58Not the utility closet
41:59We can eat together
42:01We can be a family
42:02She took a breath
42:05We miss you
42:06The words were perfectly chosen
42:09If I were still the girl
42:10Who'd arrived at their house
42:12With desperate hope
42:13I might have believed them
42:15But that girl was dead
42:17I'd buried her myself
42:21You're having money problems
42:23My mother's expression flickered
42:25That's not the company's bleeding contracts
42:28Marcus told you to stop giving Brittany money
42:31The shares I hold are worth less every quarter
42:34But they're still worth something
42:36And you need liquidity
42:38I don't know what you're...
42:40You've never come looking for me before
42:41Not once
42:42The only thing that's changed is the balance sheet
42:44So stop with the lies
42:46Nobody's buying it
42:48I woke to the smell of mildew and cigarette smoke
42:51My mother's composure cracked
42:53Just a hairline fracture
42:55But I saw it
42:57It's not just the money
42:58Your father, he's not well
43:01The stress has been...
43:02He needs to see you
43:03We both do
43:04Whatever you think of us, Valentina
43:07We're still your parents
43:08I looked at her quietly
43:09Weighing my words before speaking
43:12Wait here
43:13I need to get my things
43:17Your things
43:18You're coming home
43:19I'm coming to see him, that's all
43:23The moment I turned around
43:25She pulled the syringe from her purse
43:29The needle went into my neck
43:33Ice spread through my veins
43:35And then the world tilted sideways
43:41I woke to the smell of mildew and cigarette smoke
43:45My wrists were bound with zip ties
43:47The plastic cutting into my skin
43:50I was on a concrete floor
43:52In what looked like an abandoned rental unit
43:54Water-stained ceiling
43:56Boarded windows
43:57A single bulb swinging overhead
44:01Standing over me
44:02Her face split by a grin
44:04Was Brittany
44:07Welcome back, sister
44:10Turns out
44:11They were planning to sell me off for cash
44:15She kicked me in the ribs
44:17Did you think I'd just let you win?
44:19The system monitors behavior it can detect
44:22This place isn't on any grid
44:24And it can't do anything if you're already dead
44:27That's the loophole genius
44:29My mother stepped out of the shadows
44:31She'd stop pretending now
44:33No tears
44:34No pleading
44:35Just cold assessment
44:37Don't mark her face
44:39The buyer will be here soon
44:41And he's paying for undamaged merchandise
44:44Buyer
44:45Turns out
44:46They were planning to sell me off for cash
44:49My father appeared in the doorway
44:50A cigarette dangling from his lips
44:53You should have signed the shares back
44:56We gave you a chance
45:00No!
45:02You never gave me anything!
45:05Just then, the doorbell rang
45:09My father crushed his cigarette under his steel
45:12And moved toward the door
45:13My mother smoothed her skirt
45:15Brittany stepped back
45:17Her face alight with anticipation
45:19The door swung open
45:20The man who filled the doorframe
45:22Was built like a side of beef
45:23Broad shoulders gone soft
45:25A gut that strained against his suit jacket
45:27A face potted and cratered
45:29Like the surface of a bad road
45:31Mr. Kowalski
45:32Right on time
45:37This is the girl
45:41Kowalski turned the crop over in his hands
45:44My father gestured toward me
45:46Like a mare day
45:47Presenting the wine list
45:48My daughter
45:52Valentina
45:53Underage
45:56Untouched
45:56Kowalski stepped closer
45:59Frowning
46:04She's banged up
46:08Surface damage
46:09Nothing permanent
46:11My father pulled a riding crop from his belt
46:16Consider it a bonus
46:18I understand you appreciate
46:21Spirited merchandise
46:23Kowalski turned the crop over in his hands
46:25Smiled
46:26His teeth were uneven and too white
46:35They filed out
46:37Brittany paused at the threshold
46:39Looking back at me with an expression that wasn't quite satisfaction
46:44Something hungrier
46:45This wasn't just about money for her
46:47This was about watching me suffer
46:49Have fun sister
46:54She closed the door
46:55The bolt clicked
46:58Your little machine doesn't know where you are
47:01Kowalski stood between me and the exit
47:04He took his time with the crop
47:06Slapping it lightly against his pawn
47:08College girls are my favorite
47:12All that education
47:13And none of them know what to do with a real man
47:16There was no fear on my face
47:18Just a warning
47:19Do you know what's coming for you?
47:24You mean that system?
47:26He knelt beside me
47:27Close enough that I could smell the onions on his breath
47:30Your father explained everything
47:32This place is off-grid
47:34Your little machine doesn't know where you are
47:37He ran the cup down my cheek
47:39And even if it did
47:40By the time anyone gets here
47:42You'll be long gone
47:44And I'll be a respectable businessman
47:46With an airtight alibi
47:54That's so
47:57He blinked
47:58And I ripped through the zip ties
47:59With my bare hands and stood up
48:02How the hell?
48:04I didn't say a word
48:06Just wrapped my hand around his throat
48:08Like I did to those stray dogs years ago
48:11Before he could react
48:12I drove my fist into his eye
48:20Wrong side, pal
48:23Tell them this was a misunderstanding
48:25The police surrounded the place within minutes
48:30The scene in the hallway was chaos
48:32My father in handcuffs
48:34Still bargaining
48:35My mother weeping but dry-eyed
48:38The performance hollow even now
48:40Marcus
48:41Stone-faced and silent
48:46Brittany struggling against her restraints
48:49Shrieking about lawyers and lawsuits
48:51And how this was all my fault
48:55They never saw it coming
48:58In that rental
48:59Before I opened the door for Catherine
49:01I'd already dialed 911
49:05My mother caught my eye as I passed
49:11Valentina
49:13Sweetheart
49:14Tell them this was a misunderstanding
49:16Tell them we're family
49:19I stopped walking
49:23For a long moment
49:24I just looked at her
49:26This woman who'd given birth to me
49:28Lost me
49:29Found me
49:30And never once treated me
49:32As anything but an obstacle
49:37Her face was haggard
49:38Her makeup smeared
49:40Her eyes full of fear
49:44Catherine, you really think
49:45I'd turn my back on you
49:47Back in that rental?
49:49What do you mean?
49:52This whole thing was bait
49:53To make you all show your hand
49:57Idiots
49:57You
49:58To make you
49:59A chance to remind her
