00:00:00Four years.
00:00:01This home was covered in traces of him and traces of Mallory,
00:00:04but there was barely anything left of me.
00:00:11A new city, a new airport,
00:00:13but this time, I didn't care anymore.
00:00:14When I turned my phone back on,
00:00:16a frenzy of notifications flooded in.
00:00:18It's all from Ethan.
00:00:21I was terrified at 30,000 feet.
00:00:24With oxygen masks dangling,
00:00:26I made a silent vow.
00:00:27If I survive and he's there to pick me up,
00:00:30I'm turning down the rocation offer and staying.
00:00:344 a.m., just as I landed,
00:00:37an Instagram notification lit up my phone.
00:00:40My husband had posted a photo of Mallory from behind
00:00:43pulling her suitcase.
00:00:44The caption read,
00:00:46Chauffeur Duty, number 37.
00:00:50Precious Cargo, delivered safe and sound.
00:00:54But when we landed,
00:00:56there were no missed calls, no messages.
00:00:59He went to get Mallory.
00:01:01He remembered all of her flights,
00:01:03but never mine.
00:01:05In our four years of marriage,
00:01:07I had taken 109 flights,
00:01:10and I had taken a cab home 109 times.
00:01:18The worst was a stormy night
00:01:20when a fake rideshare driver wouldn't let go of my suitcase.
00:01:24I hid in the terminal bathroom for half an hour
00:01:26before I finally get an Uber.
00:01:31Kind of a late night to be traveling all by yourself, young lady.
00:01:33Hubby or family couldn't come pick you up?
00:01:35It's fine.
00:01:35It's too late to bother anyone.
00:01:40Yes, never again.
00:01:42My relocation application had been approved,
00:01:45and the divorce pairs were signed.
00:01:47This was the last time I would ever land for him.
00:01:55Mrs. Prescott,
00:01:56your husband got in maybe half an hour ago.
00:01:59Long night for both of you, huh?
00:02:01The neighborhood security guard scanned me through the gate,
00:02:04and I just nodded without saying a word.
00:02:06The elevator took me to the 12th floor.
00:02:09I inserted the key into the lock.
00:02:12The door opened from the inside.
00:02:14Ethan was standing in the entryway,
00:02:16holding a glass of water,
00:02:17his hair completely messy.
00:02:19Oh, you're back.
00:02:20Thought I heard the elevator.
00:02:21Yeah.
00:02:25When'd you land?
00:02:264 a.m.
00:02:27Wait, that early?
00:02:28I thought you'd be home tomorrow.
00:02:31I sent you the message,
00:02:32the flight number,
00:02:33the landing time, everything.
00:02:35Things have just been so crazy busy lately.
00:02:37I must have missed it.
00:02:38Busy with what?
00:02:41Mallory's project ran into some issues,
00:02:43and she was a total wreck.
00:02:44I stayed with her for a while just to talk her down.
00:02:51He took my suitcase,
00:02:52leaned it against the wall,
00:02:53and turned toward the living room.
00:02:57Why didn't you just tell me to come get you?
00:02:59Seriously, I would have come.
00:03:01Weren't you already out picking up Mallory?
00:03:02Well, that's different.
00:03:04Mallory's a young girl,
00:03:04and it's not said to be handling the airport alone
00:03:06in the middle of the night.
00:03:07Plus, she's right on my way back.
00:03:08If you had just given me a heads up,
00:03:09I easily could have picked you up, too.
00:03:12How was the flight, anyway?
00:03:13Pretty smooth?
00:03:15It was fine.
00:03:16Hmm.
00:03:22I walked into the bathroom to wash my hands.
00:03:24On the counter sat a tube of lipstick.
00:03:29A dusty pink, not my shade.
00:03:32Next to it was an unopened pack of cotton pads
00:03:35and a small bottle of makeup remover.
00:03:37Ethan, whose lipstick is this on the counter?
00:03:44Oh, that's Mallory's.
00:03:45She forgot it the last time she came over for dinner.
00:03:47Does she come over a lot?
00:03:49I mean, not that much.
00:03:51Maybe two or three times a week.
00:03:53When you're away on a trip,
00:03:54she usually drops by to help me tidy up the place,
00:03:56cook a meal, stuff like that.
00:03:58Two or three times a week.
00:04:00My trips usually lasted five to seven days,
00:04:03which meant that whenever I wasn't home,
00:04:05Mallory was practically here every single day.
00:04:08Does she have a key to our place?
00:04:15Yeah, I had a spare maid for her.
00:04:18Just in case something happens while you're traveling,
00:04:20someone needs to be able to get into the apartment.
00:04:23Why didn't you bother to mention that to me?
00:04:28What's there to talk about?
00:04:29It's Mallory.
00:04:30She's not some stranger.
00:04:31He said Mallory wasn't a stranger.
00:04:35Then what was I?
00:04:38I dried my hands and walked into the living room.
00:04:41His phone lit up on the coffee table.
00:04:43He picked it up and glanced at the screen.
00:04:46Never start drama.
00:04:48It's not that I didn't want to blow up at him.
00:04:50It's just that making a scene wasn't going to fix anything.
00:04:54Mallory's asking if I can take her to her physical tomorrow.
00:04:56She's terrified about her getting blood drawn.
00:04:58Go.
00:04:59Wait.
00:05:00You don't mind?
00:05:01Why would I mind her?
00:05:03Good.
00:05:03I knew you'd be cool about it.
00:05:06Mallory always says you have the best temper,
00:05:08that you never start drama.
00:05:09He would just call me petty,
00:05:11tell me Mallory was just a friend,
00:05:13and say I was being completely unreasonable.
00:05:22Ethan,
00:05:23what is Mallory's name saved as in your phone?
00:05:26Mal?
00:05:27Why?
00:05:29What about mine?
00:05:30He frowned slightly,
00:05:31clearly confused by the sudden interrogation.
00:05:33He flipped his phone over and looked at the screen.
00:05:36Elise Prescott.
00:05:38Something wrong?
00:05:39Mallory got a cute, intimate nickname.
00:05:41I got my full legal name.
00:05:43No.
00:05:46Then let's get some sleep.
00:05:48You've got heavy bags under your eyes.
00:05:50Oh, by the way,
00:05:52don't touch that paper bag on the kitchen counter.
00:05:54It's a neck pillow I got for Mallory.
00:05:55She has a long-haul flight next week.
00:05:59Last winter,
00:06:00I had explicitly told him
00:06:02that my neck ached terribly
00:06:03during my endless long-haul flights
00:06:05and that I wanted a high-quality neck pillow.
00:06:07He had scoffed at the idea,
00:06:09telling me that planes provided free pillows
00:06:11and that spending money on one
00:06:13was a complete waste of cash.
00:06:15The bedroom door closed,
00:06:17cutting off the light.
00:06:18I sat alone in the crushing dark of the living room,
00:06:21tears finally blurring my vision.
00:06:24I reached into the hidden compartment of my tusk case,
00:06:27pulling out the crisp sheets
00:06:28of the divorce agreement.
00:06:31Just then,
00:06:32a call popped up from the person
00:06:34in charge of the assignment on my phone.
00:06:41Elise,
00:06:42your visa and flight are all set.
00:06:44You leave next Monday.
00:06:45Is everything squared away at home?
00:06:47All set.
00:06:50All set.
00:06:51All set.
00:06:56Hey, I need to hit the hospital today.
00:06:58Can you drive me?
00:06:58The hospital?
00:06:59What's wrong?
00:07:00My ears are messing with me.
00:07:02Ever since the cabin pressure changed
00:07:03on my last flight,
00:07:03my left ear won't stop ringing.
00:07:05Is it bad?
00:07:06I don't know.
00:07:07I need to get it checked out.
00:07:12Okay.
00:07:12I'll drive you.
00:07:13What time is your appointment?
00:07:14Ten.
00:07:15Perfect.
00:07:16I'll head over to Mally's place first
00:07:17to grab a package for her,
00:07:18and I'll be back to pick you up at 9.30.
00:07:23Can you just drop me off first?
00:07:24The delivery guy left a huge box
00:07:26down in her apartment's underground garage.
00:07:28The garage lights are super dim at night,
00:07:30and she's way too scared to go down there
00:07:32and drag it up by herself.
00:07:33Why can't she go during the day?
00:07:34Because she works during the day.
00:07:42And honestly, it's a massive, heavy box.
00:07:44She can't drag that thing up the elevator by herself.
00:07:46Look, it'll only take half an hour.
00:07:47I'll be right back.
00:07:499.30 came and went.
00:07:51Ten o'clock came and went.
00:07:53By 10.15, the hospital app buzzed,
00:07:55alerting me that my appointment
00:07:57had been canceled due to a no-so.
00:07:59I called him.
00:08:00It rang six times before he finally Arlie picked up.
00:08:08Where are you?
00:08:09It's past ten.
00:08:10Hey, sorry.
00:08:11Mally wanted to go shopping
00:08:12after we grabbed the package.
00:08:13She needs a new suitcase
00:08:15and wanted me to help her pick one out.
00:08:16The background noise was loud,
00:08:18sounding like a crowded shopping mallt.
00:08:20I missed my appointment, Ethan.
00:08:21Can't you just reschedule for this afternoon?
00:08:24It's not like it's a medical emergency.
00:08:26You promised to drive me.
00:08:27I know, I know,
00:08:28but I can't really walk out on Malin right now.
00:08:30She's incredibly undecided.
00:08:31If I leave,
00:08:31she's never going to be able to pick anything out.
00:08:35Just go ahead without me.
00:08:36I'll head straight home as soon as I'm done here.
00:08:38Don't bother.
00:08:39He was helping Malini pick out a suitcase
00:08:41while I sat at home waiting for him
00:08:43for an hour and a half,
00:08:44the ringing in my left ear growing deafling.
00:08:46I hung up,
00:08:48called an Uber,
00:08:49and went to the hospital alone.
00:08:53I had to check in again
00:08:54and wait for 40 minutes.
00:08:56After the examination,
00:08:58the doctor's expression turned grim.
00:09:01The eardrum is severely convestuated.
00:09:03When did this start?
00:09:05A week ago,
00:09:06during a flight.
00:09:07Was there severe turbulence?
00:09:08We hit a violent pocket of clear air turbulence.
00:09:10You should have come to the ER right away.
00:09:12You've experienced some mild hearing loss
00:09:13in your left ear.
00:09:14We need to start you on medication
00:09:15and keep a close eye on it.
00:09:16But I'm telling you right now,
00:09:17flying is completely out of the question
00:09:19for the next three months.
00:09:20What if I don't have a choice?
00:09:21It will get worsened.
00:09:22In a worst-case scenario,
00:09:23you're looking at permanent hearing loss.
00:09:25Holding my discharge papers,
00:09:26I walked out of the exam room
00:09:27and sat on a bench in the hallway
00:09:29for a long time.
00:09:30Elise, honey,
00:09:31are you back?
00:09:32How was your flight?
00:09:32I'm back, Mom.
00:09:33Everything was fine.
00:09:34Ethan picked you up, right?
00:09:36Yeah, he did.
00:09:37Good.
00:09:38As long as you two are happy,
00:09:39that's all that matters to me.
00:09:41Mom,
00:09:42the relocation was approved.
00:09:43I leave next week.
00:09:44For how long?
00:09:45A one-year contract.
00:09:47And Ethan is really okay
00:09:48with you going that far away
00:09:49all by yourself?
00:09:51Mom, I'm fine.
00:09:52Don't worry about me.
00:09:55Elise, be honest with me.
00:09:56Is something going on
00:09:57between you and Ethan?
00:09:58When your dad was hospitalized last time,
00:10:01you took a whole week off
00:10:02to take care of him
00:10:03and Ethan didn't even call once.
00:10:04The time dad was hospitalized,
00:10:06I had stayed by his hospital bed
00:10:07for seven days.
00:10:08Ethan hadn't called once,
00:10:09nor had he sent a single text.
00:10:13Hey, Mallory has a terrible cold.
00:10:15I'm at her place
00:10:15making her some ginger soup.
00:10:17My dad is in the hospital.
00:10:18Oh.
00:10:19Oh, is it serious?
00:10:20You should probably stay
00:10:21a few more days then.
00:10:21I've got things covered at home.
00:10:23He had things covered at home.
00:10:24with Mallory.
00:10:29Mom, I'm really fine.
00:10:30Stop them, Corey.
00:10:32I hung up.
00:10:33At three in the afternoon,
00:10:35a text from Ethan
00:10:35flashed on my screen.
00:10:39I stared at the words.
00:10:41Only after he had spent
00:10:43his entire morning
00:10:43catering to Mallory's whims,
00:10:45trailing behind her
00:10:46through department stores,
00:10:47pick out a damn suitcase,
00:10:48did he finally remember
00:10:49to ask about his own wife.
00:10:51nothing major,
00:10:53just need to rest.
00:10:54Good to hear.
00:10:55I'll make dinner tonight.
00:10:57What are you in the mood for?
00:10:59Whatever.
00:11:06Of course,
00:11:07it was always a package deal,
00:11:08wasn't it?
00:11:08Even a simple dinner at home
00:11:09had to involve her.
00:11:12He couldn't even offer
00:11:13to feed his sick wife
00:11:14without inviting
00:11:14his best friend to play house.
00:11:16I didn't bother replying.
00:11:19I put my phone in my pocket,
00:11:21took a deep,
00:11:21steady-izing breath,
00:11:22and dialed another number.
00:11:23Hey, Mr. Vance?
00:11:24About my flight next Monday,
00:11:26is there any way
00:11:26we can move it up to Saturday?
00:11:27Earlier.
00:11:28Sure, we can do that.
00:11:29Are you sure?
00:11:33I was terrified
00:11:34that if he threw me
00:11:34even a shred of kindness,
00:11:36I would hesitate,
00:11:37falter,
00:11:37and unpack my bags
00:11:38all over again.
00:11:39It was just like
00:11:40every single time
00:11:41I landed at that
00:11:41wretched airport.
00:11:42I would always linger
00:11:43an extra pathetic minute
00:11:44at the arrival's gate,
00:11:45scanning the crowd,
00:11:46drowning in a desperate,
00:11:47foolish hope.
00:11:48What if he actually
00:11:49shows up this time?
00:11:53But he never did.
00:11:55And he never would.
00:12:00I'm certain.
00:12:06Hey, Elise!
00:12:07I'm here!
00:12:08Mallory stood at the door,
00:12:09holding a bag of groceries,
00:12:11beaming with a wide smile.
00:12:12Ethan followed closely behind,
00:12:14carrying another bag for her.
00:12:15Mallory said she's taking
00:12:16over the kitchen tonight.
00:12:18You just kick back and relax.
00:12:20I sat on the couch,
00:12:21watching Mallory
00:12:22walked into the kitchen.
00:12:25Elise,
00:12:26did you move the olive oil?
00:12:27It used to be on the second shelf
00:12:28on the left.
00:12:29I reorganized everything last week.
00:12:31Found it.
00:12:32Ethan,
00:12:33can you get the cast iron skillet
00:12:34down for me?
00:12:35Ethan immediately hurried in
00:12:36and laved the heavy pot
00:12:38down from the top cabinet.
00:12:39The two of them moved
00:12:40in perfect synchronization
00:12:42in my kitchen,
00:12:43looking like a couple
00:12:44who had been together
00:12:44for decades.
00:12:45Sitting in the living room,
00:12:47I felt entirely
00:12:47like a house guest.
00:12:49Elise,
00:12:49don't sit all the way over there.
00:12:51Come talk to us.
00:12:55Ethan said your ears
00:12:56are bothering you.
00:12:57Is it bad?
00:12:58No, it's fine.
00:12:59I honestly don't know
00:13:00how you survived
00:13:01flying so much.
00:13:02I could never.
00:13:03Every time I fly,
00:13:04my anxiety goes
00:13:05completely through the roof.
00:13:06like if I don't have
00:13:07someone waiting for me
00:13:07at arrivals,
00:13:08I literally lose my mind.
00:13:09And that was why
00:13:10Ethan had gone 37 times.
00:13:13Elisa,
00:13:13do you always just go
00:13:14to the airport by yourself
00:13:15when you travel?
00:13:15Ethan doesn't drive you?
00:13:17Oh, she's fine on her own.
00:13:18She's way more independent
00:13:19than you.
00:13:19She doesn't need
00:13:20anyone babying her.
00:13:22It wasn't that
00:13:23I didn't need anyone
00:13:24to care.
00:13:26It was that
00:13:26even when I did,
00:13:28no one was listening.
00:13:33Well, that's true.
00:13:34Aline's really is
00:13:35a superwoman.
00:13:36And like me,
00:13:38I honestly don't know
00:13:40how I'd survive
00:13:41without Ethan.
00:13:43Dinner was served,
00:13:45beautifully presented
00:13:46and smelling delicious.
00:13:47Ethan, try the ribs.
00:13:49I made them exactly
00:13:50how you like them,
00:13:51with that extra sweet
00:13:52BBU glaze.
00:13:54So good.
00:13:57Seriously,
00:13:58look at Mally's cooking.
00:13:59If you had half her skills
00:14:00in the kitchen,
00:14:00I wouldn't be stuck
00:14:01eating takeout
00:14:02every single day.
00:14:05He was openly
00:14:06criticizing my cooking
00:14:07right in front of Mallory.
00:14:09While I was away
00:14:10running myself ratty
00:14:11for clients,
00:14:12he was at home
00:14:13enjoying Mallory's
00:14:14home-cooked meals.
00:14:15And now that I was back,
00:14:16I was being compared
00:14:17to her.
00:14:21My bad.
00:14:22Oh, Elise,
00:14:23don't listen to him.
00:14:24Ethan just doesn't
00:14:25have a filter.
00:14:28Midway through the kneel,
00:14:29Mallory pulled out
00:14:30her phone
00:14:30to show me something.
00:14:33Elisa,
00:14:34look.
00:14:36Ethan and I
00:14:36share our live locations
00:14:38so he can always
00:14:38keep an eye on me.
00:14:43One time,
00:14:44my flight was delayed
00:14:45and he noticed
00:14:46my dot hadn't moved,
00:14:47so he called me
00:14:48out of the blue
00:14:49just to check on me.
00:14:50The screen was
00:14:50a map interface.
00:14:52Their two profile icons
00:14:53overlapped perfectly.
00:14:54she shared live locations
00:14:56with my husband.
00:14:57Meanwhile,
00:14:58I had sent him
00:14:58my flight information
00:14:59and he hadn't even
00:15:00bothered to look at it.
00:15:02Elise,
00:15:03do you want to join
00:15:03our circle too?
00:15:05No, thanks.
00:15:06She doesn't need to.
00:15:07She takes perfectly
00:15:08good care of herself.
00:15:09Mallory excused herself
00:15:10to use the restroom.
00:15:12When she returned,
00:15:13she was holding
00:15:13something in her hand.
00:15:14It was a silver bracelet
00:15:15with a tiny airplane charm
00:15:17dangling from it.
00:15:18Ethan,
00:15:19look what I found
00:15:20in the bathroom cabinet.
00:15:21It's so pretty.
00:15:22I recognized
00:15:23that bracelet imminently.
00:15:24It was the first
00:15:25anniversary gift
00:15:26I had given to Ethan.
00:15:27I had designed
00:15:28the airplane charm myself.
00:15:29Its meaning was,
00:15:30with every takeoff,
00:15:31you'll be waiting
00:15:31for my landing.
00:15:32He had worn it
00:15:33for three months
00:15:34before taking it off,
00:15:35claiming it was annoying
00:15:36to wear in the shower.
00:15:37Oh, just an old bracelet.
00:15:38It's not worth anything.
00:15:39If you like it,
00:15:40go ahead and keep it.
00:15:41He gave away
00:15:42our anniversary gift
00:15:43to Mallory.
00:15:46Elaine,
00:15:47do you mind?
00:15:48With every takeoff,
00:15:50you'll be waiting
00:15:50for my landing.
00:15:51How utterly pathetic.
00:15:52I don't mind.
00:15:54Keep it.
00:15:58Ethan,
00:15:59time to wake up.
00:16:00Saturday morning
00:16:01at six o'clock,
00:16:02I set breakfast
00:16:02on the table.
00:16:03White toast,
00:16:04two over-easy eggs,
00:16:05the cheap drip coffee
00:16:06he liked better
00:16:07than the expensive one
00:16:08I had bought him
00:16:08for Christmas.
00:16:09He walked out,
00:16:10rubbing his eyes,
00:16:11and sat down to eat.
00:16:12Why are you up
00:16:13so early today?
00:16:14Couldn't sleep.
00:16:15Mallory texted me
00:16:16last night.
00:16:17She wants to throw
00:16:17a birthday party
00:16:18for me next month.
00:16:18What do you think?
00:16:21His birthday
00:16:21was on the 15th
00:16:22of next month.
00:16:24Last year
00:16:24on his birthday,
00:16:25I had rushed back
00:16:26from a business trip
00:16:26with a cake in hand,
00:16:28only to open the door
00:16:29and find that Mallory
00:16:30had already decorated
00:16:31the place with balloons.
00:16:32Mallory already bought one.
00:16:34Just put yours in the fridge.
00:16:35Seeing the cake
00:16:35in my hands,
00:16:36he had said,
00:16:36Mallory already bought one.
00:16:37Just put yours in the fridge.
00:16:39That cake sat in the fridge
00:16:40for three days
00:16:41before I finally threw it
00:16:42in the trash.
00:16:43Do whatever you want.
00:16:46All right.
00:16:47I'll talk it over
00:16:47with Mallory then.
00:16:49Oh, by the way,
00:16:50she asked me to drive
00:16:51her new car
00:16:51to the dealership
00:16:52for its first
00:16:52maintenance check today.
00:16:54I might be back
00:16:54a bit late this afternoon.
00:16:57Okay.
00:17:01Wow.
00:17:01Why are you being
00:17:02so easygoing today?
00:17:03I'm always easygoing.
00:17:05He smiled,
00:17:06thinking nothing of it,
00:17:07and went back
00:17:08to eating his toast.
00:17:10Ethan.
00:17:13Yeah?
00:17:14If one day
00:17:15I suddenly wasn't
00:17:16around anymore,
00:17:17would you miss me?
00:17:18His fork froze
00:17:20over the egg.
00:17:21What kind of question
00:17:23is that?
00:17:24Just asking.
00:17:27Where else would you go?
00:17:28Stop letting your mind wander.
00:17:30He stood up
00:17:31and put his plate
00:17:32in the sink.
00:17:34I'm heading out.
00:17:37I'll be back
00:17:38right after I help
00:17:38Mallory with her car.
00:17:40He changed his trousers
00:17:41and grabbed his keys.
00:17:43Ethan.
00:17:45What now?
00:17:48Can you please
00:17:49stay home today?
00:17:52Just today?
00:17:56He frowned.
00:17:58Elise,
00:17:59I already made plans
00:17:59with Mallory.
00:18:00I can't just flank on her.
00:18:03Do you actually
00:18:04have something going on?
00:18:09I want you to stay.
00:18:11I want you to sit with me
00:18:12for just one afternoon.
00:18:14I want to tell you
00:18:15that my plane
00:18:16almost crashed
00:18:17and that my ear
00:18:18might never fully recover.
00:18:20I want to tell you
00:18:21that this is the last time
00:18:22we will ever talk
00:18:23face to face.
00:18:24It's nothing.
00:18:25Go ahead.
00:18:27All right.
00:18:27See you later.
00:18:28The front door
00:18:29clicked shut.
00:18:31After the distant chime
00:18:32of the elevator
00:18:33echoed away,
00:18:34the entire apartment
00:18:35fell into absolute silence.
00:18:40I stood up
00:18:41and began to pack.
00:18:46I didn't have many
00:18:47belongings in the closet.
00:18:48Everything fit
00:18:49into just two suitcases.
00:18:52On the bathroomer,
00:18:54only his things
00:18:54and Mallory's ripstick
00:18:55remained.
00:19:01I left the row
00:19:02of strawberry yogurts
00:19:03in the fridge untouched.
00:19:05I picked up the framed
00:19:07wedding photo
00:19:08on the bookshelf,
00:19:09looked at it for a moment,
00:19:10and then placed it back down,
00:19:11face down against the shelf.
00:19:18Finally,
00:19:19I walked into the living room.
00:19:21I spread out the divorce agreement
00:19:23on the coffee table.
00:19:24Three pages of standard white paper,
00:19:27with my signature already inked
00:19:29on the bottom left
00:19:30on the bottom left
00:19:30of the final page.
00:19:31The right side
00:19:32was completely blanky,
00:19:34waiting for his.
00:19:35Next to it,
00:19:36I left a post-it note.
00:19:38The rowcation paperwork
00:19:39is finished,
00:19:40and I'm leaving.
00:19:41Please review the agreement.
00:19:43If you agree,
00:19:44sign it and mail it back
00:19:45to the company's legal department.
00:19:50Pulling my two suitcases,
00:19:52I walked to the entryway.
00:19:53I took one last look
00:19:54at the place I called home.
00:19:56The dent on the couch
00:19:57where he always sat,
00:19:58his sneakers lined up
00:19:59by the shoe rack,
00:20:00and the neck pal
00:20:01embroidered with an M
00:20:02resting on the kitchen counter.
00:20:04Four years.
00:20:05This home was covered
00:20:06in traces of him
00:20:07and traces of Mallory,
00:20:08but there was barely
00:20:08anything left of me.
00:20:10I pulled the door shut gently,
00:20:11leaving it unlocked.
00:20:13Downstairs,
00:20:14the Uber was already waiting.
00:20:15As the car drove out
00:20:16of the neighborhood,
00:20:17I didn't look back.
00:20:18I switched my phone
00:20:18to airplane mode.
00:20:20Three hours later,
00:20:21the plane landed.
00:20:22A new city,
00:20:23a new airport,
00:20:24and no one waiting for me
00:20:25at the arrivals gate.
00:20:26But this time,
00:20:27I didn't care anymore.
00:20:28When I turned my phone back on,
00:20:29a frenzy of notifications
00:20:31flooded in.
00:20:31It's all from Ethan.
00:20:37Are they back?
00:20:39Why me?
00:20:41Why won't they stop?
00:20:47Yeah, it's me.
00:20:58It's okay.
00:21:00Everything's going to be okay.
00:21:13I got it.
00:21:14I'll just head back after this.
00:21:15Thanks, Mia Mia.
00:21:17No problem.
00:21:26My Uber should be here soon.
00:21:47Hey, beautiful.
00:21:49What are you doing here?
00:21:50It's getting late.
00:21:51You should come home with us.
00:21:53No thanks.
00:21:54I'm good here.
00:21:55You should go...
00:21:57Come on.
00:21:58Let's have some fun.
00:22:00I bet that mouth tastes good.
00:22:02Help!
00:22:03Somebody help!
00:22:04Nobody's coming to help.
00:22:06You are ours tonight.
00:22:10Hey!
00:22:21Let her go.
00:22:26They're mine.
00:22:38They're mine.
00:22:40They're mine.
00:22:40You, you saved me. Are you okay? You're bleeding out? Wait! Stay with me!
00:22:54No one has ever seen me like this. You're dead.
00:23:00Stop moving or you'll bleed more.
00:23:09Thanks for saving me back there. I'm a nursing school dropout. You'll survive.
00:23:15What's your name?
00:23:20Better sleep off the pain. I'll find you some antibiotics.
00:23:31Boss!
00:23:40Hope you make it, stranger.
00:23:44Dante Valerius, leader of the Valerius Mafia, denies involvement in the Chicago riot.
00:23:49It's him. The man in the alley. Is he a mafia boss?
00:24:04Sir, we found the mysterious woman.
00:24:13Bring her, now.
00:24:18Dante Valerius is supposed to be dead. Whoever saved him just saved another monster.
00:24:22Yeah, the world's better with one less murderer.
00:24:24A mafia king. A killer. He said he'd kill me if he lived. I need to run.
00:24:32Nice ass, doll.
00:24:41No one touches a Valerius woman.
00:24:44You're Mia Espinosa?
00:24:46Maybe.
00:24:46You're coming with us.
00:24:48Hey, what's going on? Let me go! Let me go!
00:24:57Hello, wife.
00:25:01Wife?
00:25:02Yes, you, Mia.
00:25:05You're going to be my wife.
00:25:08I-I-I thought you brought me here to kill me.
00:25:10No.
00:25:12That's not why you're here.
00:25:17Sign this.
00:25:20It-It's a marriage arrangement?
00:25:23You want me to-
00:25:24Marry me, yes.
00:25:25Why?
00:25:26I'm a nobody, and you're the mafia boss.
00:25:29Are you saying no to a mafia boss?
00:25:41Do you know what happens to people who say no to me?
00:25:47You-You killed them?
00:25:49Exactly.
00:25:52No, open your eyes.
00:25:54Look at me.
00:25:56You want to marry me, yes?
00:25:58I-I-I don't know.
00:26:03You are saying no, but your pupils dilate.
00:26:08Say yes, and be mine.
00:26:17I-I'm not your wife yet.
00:26:21Sign the contract, then.
00:26:23You can have some time to think about it, too.
00:26:25Take it and go home.
00:26:28That's it?
00:26:30You'll let me go?
00:26:31Yes, Mia.
00:26:33Go home.
00:26:34Is this some kind of a trap?
00:26:42Shit, this is a trap.
00:26:51I'll see you at the altar.
00:26:59Never see you this whipped about a woman, brother.
00:27:02Keep eyes on her.
00:27:03I want to know everything she does.
00:27:06Yes, brother.
00:27:09A mafia boss wants me to be his wife?
00:27:12This is ridiculous.
00:27:13Why am I even thinking about this?
00:27:17Good.
00:27:17Food is here.
00:27:23Mia Espinosa needs to talk.
00:27:30Save me, sister.
00:27:32What happened?
00:27:41Palacio, our worst enemy, just parked outside your little lover's apartment.
00:27:50She could be his spy, you know?
00:27:55What?
00:27:56What is going on?
00:27:57Who are you?
00:27:58Name is Franco Palacio.
00:28:00I'm Dante Valerius' worst nightmare.
00:28:04Why are you taking my brother?
00:28:05What do you want from me?
00:28:06Your brother here owes me a lot of money.
00:28:11Please, stop!
00:28:13I was going to take you as a payment.
00:28:16Now I know Valerius is obsessed with you.
00:28:18I have a new plan.
00:28:19I-I don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:21Playing dumb?
00:28:23Let me give you a little motivation.
00:28:28I'm going to carve out your brother's eye.
00:28:30Yes, to what?
00:28:31To marry Dante Valerius and give him an heir.
00:28:41Why do you want me to marry enemy?
00:28:48Dante is untouchable, too clean.
00:28:51But you, you can ruin him.
00:28:53A wife, a baby, you'll be Dante's weakness.
00:28:56That's my weapon.
00:28:59So tell me, little Mia, do I start with his left eye?
00:29:05Think about it, brother.
00:29:06You really believe she saved you by chance?
00:29:09You, the Mafia King of the East Coast?
00:29:13Yes.
00:29:19Where are you going?
00:29:20If she's working for Palacio, I'll make her talk.
00:29:30He's headed your way.
00:29:32Wrap it up soon.
00:29:41Looks like your brother's losing an eye after all.
00:29:44Stop!
00:29:45I'll do it!
00:29:51Good.
00:29:53You have one month to get pregnant.
00:29:55Until then, your brother stays with me, safe and sound.
00:30:02Yesterday, I was just a part-time server.
00:30:05Now I'm part of a Mafia war.
00:30:07Was I really wrong to save Dante three months ago?
00:30:11Are they back?
00:30:14Why me?
00:30:16Why won't they stop?
00:30:32Why does it hurt this much, seeing her cry?
00:30:41Yeah, it's me.
00:30:52It's okay.
00:30:54Everything's going to be okay.
00:31:01I can't ask her about Palacio.
00:31:04Not like this.
00:31:14You're afraid of me?
00:31:17No, I'm not scared.
00:31:27You're my woman, Mia.
00:31:29Your tears belong to me.
00:31:40I haven't agreed to anything.
00:31:42Yet.
00:31:43Are you saying no to me?
00:31:45I need to save my brother.
00:31:47I need to give him a baby.
00:31:49I have no choice.
00:31:53We should talk.
00:31:54It's a contract marriage, right?
00:31:56We should discuss terms.
00:31:58Her lips.
00:32:00I wonder if they taste as soft as they look.
00:32:07Agreed.
00:32:08We should talk.
00:32:13What are you doing?
00:32:15To take you somewhere to talk.
00:32:16Don't worry.
00:32:17You'll be safe.
00:32:21I don't know why, but he feels safe.
00:32:28You ready to negotiate a marriage contract with me?
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32Let's do this.
00:32:34Read carefully.
00:32:40Once you leave this room, there's no turning back.
00:32:50If you have any concerns, we'll discuss such.
00:32:53The contract doesn't mention sleeping arrangement.
00:32:57Sleeping arrangement?
00:32:59Yeah, I mean, we're getting married, and it's natural that we...
00:33:10It's natural we fuck.
00:33:14Do you want me to fuck you?
00:33:19God, he's dangerous.
00:33:21And too hot.
00:33:23But I need this.
00:33:24I need to get pregnant to save my brother.
00:33:29I mean...
00:33:32That's what husbands and wives do?
00:33:37But we're not real husband and wife.
00:33:39It's a business.
00:33:41A contract.
00:33:42You...
00:33:43You are...
00:33:44attractive and rich.
00:33:46Any woman would want you...
00:33:47You think I'm attractive?
00:33:49Yes.
00:33:50Are you lying to me?
00:33:51No.
00:33:52No way he knows.
00:33:53He's just messing with my head.
00:33:55I need to with...
00:33:57Let's see how attractive you think I am.
00:34:15You'll be begging me for mercy.
00:34:17What the hell?
00:34:18You ungrateful bastard!
00:34:20You dare humiliate me?
00:34:22You really think you're someone now?
00:34:24Someone's gonna change everything?
00:34:30Welcome aboard flight 233 to New York City.
00:34:33Wi-Fi is now available.
00:34:34We wish you a pleasant journey.
00:34:37Sir, your fiance received her PhD from Harvard today.
00:34:40As requested, we've secured her a partner track offer at ThroneTech.
00:34:43Her celebration dinner's all set.
00:34:44It starts once you land.
00:34:45Noted.
00:34:46Good work, Adam.
00:34:47Also, Anya Throne from ThroneTech has been quietly courting us for investment.
00:34:51Send me the deck.
00:35:01Parker, just tell my grandma I'd rather die than marry John Caldwell.
00:35:04Boss, the Caldwells are our best shot at the titan.
00:35:07It's a trillion dollar powerhouse.
00:35:09Your grandma sees this marriage as the golden ticket.
00:35:11We can't afford to say no.
00:35:13I'm not marrying a notorious playboy to save my company.
00:35:16I'll handle it on my own.
00:35:18The Caldwell family has already surpassed us in market share.
00:35:21unless you marry someone else first.
00:35:24Marry someone else?
00:35:30Uh, that button calls the crew.
00:35:33Oh, thanks.
00:35:38First time flying first class?
00:35:41Yeah.
00:35:42I'm used to something a bit different.
00:35:46Your champagne, sir.
00:35:49You prevented a global farming and a nuclear war.
00:35:52My country owes its survival to you.
00:35:55To peace.
00:36:03What did you do in Africa?
00:36:06Just some volunteer stuff, built shelters, took care of kids.
00:36:10Oh wow, that's pretty cool.
00:36:13He probably didn't make a cent doing that, but the way he talks about it, like it mattered,
00:36:19he's unlike any other man I've ever met.
00:36:22I'm Anya, by the way.
00:36:24Arthur.
00:36:27Well, Arthur, this might sound totally insane, but...
00:36:33Would you mind doing me a favor?
00:36:35What favor?
00:36:36Let me introduce myself properly.
00:36:39I'm the CEO of ThroneTech, the heiress to Throne's fortune.
00:36:42I own five properties and two private estates.
00:36:45Annual income, one billion dollars.
00:36:48And...
00:36:50I want you to be my husband.
00:36:54What?
00:36:54I mean, a fake marriage.
00:36:56Just for a year.
00:36:58I need someone to play my husband, and you just feel like the right man for me.
00:37:03Is that a joke?
00:37:04I'm serious.
00:37:05You can trust me.
00:37:06Google me.
00:37:07You'll see that I have no scandals.
00:37:08No addictions.
00:37:09Nothing shady in my past.
00:37:11If you agree, we can sign the paperwork today.
00:37:14And...
00:37:14I'll offer a hundred thousand a month,
00:37:16plus a waterfront conned in Midtown.
00:37:18In your name only.
00:37:21Tempting.
00:37:22But you have picked the wrong man.
00:37:25Already taken.
00:37:26I'm flying back to get married.
00:37:29Oh.
00:37:30I did not see that coming.
00:37:32I...
00:37:32Sorry.
00:37:35So that is it.
00:37:36Guess I just have to suck it up.
00:37:39You do not seem that helpless to me.
00:37:41Hm?
00:37:45Your AI subsidiary, underthrown tech?
00:37:48It has got potential.
00:37:50The Titan group will be interested.
00:37:52But if that is your pitch deck, to win them over, you are toast.
00:37:58Really?
00:37:59You might be a nice guy, but you don't know a thing about how the business world works.
00:38:06We might not be getting married, but I can still help you.
00:38:09Hey, what are you doing?
00:38:10I'm fixing your pitch.
00:38:11You're asking for a hundred million?
00:38:14Try a hundred billion.
00:38:15Excuse me?
00:38:17What?
00:38:19There.
00:38:20Done.
00:38:22What the hell did you just do?
00:38:24You sent that?
00:38:25You actually sent it?
00:38:27You were under-saying yourself.
00:38:28You hijacked my pitch!
00:38:30Do you have any idea what you've just done?
00:38:32I saved your pitch.
00:38:35Saved?
00:38:36You've ruined it!
00:38:46Did you just touch me?
00:38:49It was an accident.
00:38:51Turbulity.
00:38:52I was trying to help.
00:38:53Oh, you've done enough to help!
00:38:57Sir?
00:38:57Ma'am?
00:38:58Is everything alright?
00:38:59We're good.
00:39:00She just scored a hundred billion dollar investment.
00:39:02She's a bit emotional.
00:39:05Emotional?
00:39:07Well, congratulations.
00:39:10Trust me.
00:39:12The Titan Group doesn't go for small gains.
00:39:14Asking for a hundred million?
00:39:15That's an insult.
00:39:17A hundred billion?
00:39:17That's where the conversation starts.
00:39:20You want to win them over?
00:39:21You need to think bigger.
00:39:24Did you seriously just say that?
00:39:26You're welcome.
00:39:27Great!
00:39:27First you messed with my file.
00:39:29Then you humiliated me in public?
00:39:31Congratulations!
00:39:31You're officially the most infuriating man I've ever met!
00:39:34Lucky we're not getting married, huh?
00:39:37This isn't over.
00:39:51Help her land a billion dollar deal?
00:39:53And not even a thank you?
00:39:55Please.
00:39:56Serena would never.
00:40:00Five years apart.
00:40:02She must be surprised when he sees me.
00:40:05You sure about this?
00:40:07Africa's far.
00:40:07It's not just a trip.
00:40:09I'm going to change the world, Serena.
00:40:11You always knew that was the dream.
00:40:16One more thing before I go.
00:40:28Serena Lee, will you marry me?
00:40:31Yes.
00:40:41Let's get married when I get back.
00:40:46A two million dollar necklace.
00:40:48The perfect gift for her big day.
00:40:50I hope she'll like it.
00:41:00My girl, look at this.
00:41:01An entire party just for you.
00:41:04Throne tech doesn't do this for just anyone.
00:41:06We've officially made it.
00:41:08It's just the beginning, Mom.
00:41:09You know, my dream is to become someone like Anya Throne.
00:41:12The CEO.
00:41:13But she's a mystery.
00:41:15Never appears in public.
00:41:21Assuming I'll meet her today.
00:41:28After all these years of my funding, Serena's finally made it.
00:41:33A PhD.
00:41:34Partner at Throne Tech.
00:41:36Time to let her know that I'm the CEO of Titan Group.
00:41:40And start our sweet life.
00:41:49Is that Arthur?
00:41:50Isn't he begging for life abroad?
00:41:52What the hell is he doing here?
00:41:58Serena, congratulations.
00:42:01Arthur?
00:42:04I heard about the offer.
00:42:05Thought I'd surprise you.
00:42:07Why are you here?
00:42:08I flew back.
00:42:10For you.
00:42:11Let me guess.
00:42:13You heard about her throne offer, the salary, and you decided to claw your way back?
00:42:19What?
00:42:20Don't act surprised.
00:42:21Five years you vanished.
00:42:23The second she makes partner, you show up with discount flowers and a name that means nothing.
00:42:29You shouldn't have come, Arthur.
00:42:31This whatever we were, it's over.
00:42:33Let's break up.
00:42:34But we spent seven years building towards this.
00:42:38We are supposed to get married.
00:42:40You said you loved me.
00:42:41You thought Serena would love you?
00:42:43Don't be absurd.
00:42:44My daughter has a PhD.
00:42:46She's the youngest partner at Throne Tech, pulling in 30 million a year.
00:42:49And you?
00:42:50You vanished to Africa and worked there as a builder.
00:42:53Do you really think that makes you worthy of her?
00:42:56My mom is right.
00:42:57We belong to different worlds now.
00:42:59I can't marry someone like you.
00:43:01No.
00:43:14Someone like me?
00:43:16Look around.
00:43:17This is the party Throne Tech threw for me.
00:43:20These people?
00:43:21Legacy investors.
00:43:23Real powers.
00:43:24And you think I could introduce them to an embarrassment as my fiancé?
00:43:29I'm an embarrassment?
00:43:34So that's what this did to you.
00:43:37One job offer from Throne Tech.
00:43:40And you think you're out of my league.
00:43:43Did you know, Serena?
00:43:45To me, Throne Tech is just a small fish.
00:43:49You arrogant little cockroach.
00:43:51How dare you look down on the top firm in this country?
00:43:54You want to know why Throne Tech gave you that offer?
00:43:56Because someone vouched for you.
00:43:58Someone they'd never dare ignore.
00:44:01And that someone...
00:44:03was me.
00:44:07I'm sorry, what?
00:44:10Confirmed?
00:44:10Are you sure?
00:44:13Madam, you're not going to believe this.
00:44:14The Titan Group just approved a direct investment in us.
00:44:19They what?
00:44:22One hundred billion dollars.
00:44:25What?
00:44:25It's Mr. Storm's move.
00:44:27You know the ghost chairman who runs the Titan Group?
00:44:30It's his first formal return to the States.
00:44:32And we're his first target.
00:44:33We got it.
00:44:34A hundred billion.
00:44:38There.
00:44:39Done.
00:44:40He was right.
00:44:43It's one hundred billion.
00:44:47Parker.
00:44:49Find him.
00:44:50Find who?
00:44:51The man who sit next to me on the Nairobi flight.
00:44:55Arthur.
00:44:56I don't care what it takes.
00:44:58Find him.
00:44:59Understood.
00:45:01But...
00:45:02What do you want with him?
00:45:04I'm going to marry him.
00:45:05Wait.
00:45:06What?
00:45:07I've never seen an incredible man like him before.
00:45:10He is the one I want.
00:45:12You self-importance little shit.
00:45:14Who the hell do you think you are?
00:45:16I get it, Arthur.
00:45:17You're not upset about the breakup.
00:45:19You're just pissed off at all the money you poured into me.
00:45:22Just name your number.
00:45:23I'll pay you off.
00:45:24And then we're done.
00:45:25For good.
00:45:26Is that what you think?
00:45:28That I'm here chasing the money I gave you?
00:45:30Let's settle up.
00:45:31How about...
00:45:32A hundred grand?
00:45:33Two hundred thousand?
00:45:35Serena.
00:45:36Three hundred thousand dollars.
00:45:37That's more than you've ever seen.
00:45:38Three hundred thousand dollars.
00:45:40That's more than you've ever seen.
00:45:42You still think I came here for money?
00:45:43Take it and get out of here.
00:45:45My daughter should have dumped you ages ago.
00:45:47You've got no house, no car, no savings.
00:45:50You can't even get a decent job.
00:45:52You're a lost cause.
00:45:53Is that what you think of me?
00:45:54For the sake of our seven years together,
00:45:56don't embarrass yourself even more.
00:45:58Just take the money and leave.
00:45:59My daughter's done with you.
00:46:01Can't you get that through your thick head?
00:46:05He's not worth your time.
00:46:09Oh, where's Victor?
00:46:11Didn't he say he was coming tonight?
00:46:13Yeah, said he had something to handle first.
00:46:16Should be here soon.
00:46:17Victor?
00:46:18Victor, son of James West, vice chair of Throne Tech.
00:46:23Practically next in line after Anya Throne.
00:46:28Only someone like him is a match for my daughter.
00:46:31Rich, charming, well-educated.
00:46:35And you?
00:46:35You're a penniless dropout.
00:46:37You're just a misstep she should have never taken.
00:46:40Arthur, Victor's on his way.
00:46:42You should leave.
00:46:45Trust me, you don't want to be here when he walks in.
00:46:49Because the moment you see him, you'll be ashamed of yourself.
00:46:53Now I see it.
00:46:55You didn't just break up with me because of the job.
00:46:58It was because of him.
00:46:59Victor.
00:47:00At least with him, I can build something bigger.
00:47:03Really?
00:47:04And you're so sure I couldn't help you build something better than anything he could?
00:47:09You?
00:47:10Please.
00:47:12So, you actually think you're better than me?
00:47:26Victor, my love, you're here.
00:47:30Let me guess.
00:47:31You're Arthur?
00:47:33Serena's ex-boyfriend?
00:47:34You look exactly how I pictured.
00:47:36Cheap suit.
00:47:38Basic face.
00:47:39Still clinging to the woman who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:47:44Oh, don't mind him.
00:47:46He never deserved to be with Serena.
00:47:48Just a pathetic shadow tagging along.
00:47:51So, you seriously thought you could compete with me?
00:47:55I'm Victor West, son of James West, vice chair of Throne Tech.
00:48:00And you?
00:48:01You're not even worth the dirt under my shoes.
00:48:03You're right.
00:48:04Because unlike you, I don't need to cling to daddy's title to matter.
00:48:08Excuse me?
00:48:08A piece of trash like you, dares to talk back?
00:48:12Get out.
00:48:13Now, before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:48:17Exactly.
00:48:18This is a ceremony for elites, not beggars.
00:48:23What the hell is going on here?
00:48:25Victor, is everything all right?
00:48:28Why don't you ask him?
00:48:29He got dumped by Serena, and now he's crashing her party.
00:48:34Dr. Lee is our new partner, handpicked by Ms. Throne herself.
00:48:38Whatever this is, you're way out of line.
00:48:40Exactly.
00:48:41Look around.
00:48:42These aren't just normal guests, Mr. Cooper.
00:48:45This is Throne Tech's A-team.
00:48:48Top executives, professionals, the people who run this city.
00:48:51And then there's him.
00:48:53Some college dropout who thinks moving bricks and nannying kids in Africa is a career.
00:48:59I was running a charity.
00:49:00Oh? So that's what we're calling unemployment now?
00:49:04Charity?
00:49:05Boy, just say you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:49:09We all know why he's here. Groveling to my daughter, hoping she will drag him out of the gutter.
00:49:14So he wants to be a kept man and fails. Pathetic.
00:49:17An all-time loser dumped by his genius girlfriend. He should have seen that coming.
00:49:23You hear that? This is reality.
00:49:25My daughter? A PhD, a future partner, a successful, stunning woman.
00:49:30You? Just the mud on her heels.
00:49:43Now crawl back to the shack you came from. Your fairy tale is over!
00:49:48Arthur, a man can be broke or uneducated. But delusional? That's where I draw the line.
00:49:54No matter what you tell yourself, I would never marry you.
00:49:59Funny. You want to know my biggest mistake, Serena? Believing in you.
00:50:03Seven years of unconditional support, wiring money whenever you need to pay rent or tuition.
00:50:07I made you. And this is how you repay me?
00:50:10Don't twist it. I didn't force you to do any of this.
00:50:12I don't need to twist anything.
00:50:15I bank-raid your PhD, helped land your offer at ThroneTech. And you dropped me the second you made it
00:50:22upstairs.
00:50:24Don't credit yourself for my achievement. I earned all these by myself. I'm smart. I worked hard.
00:50:30I could have made it with or without you.
00:50:32No. You won't. You'll never know what you've lost. I bought this for you.
00:50:43But you don't deserve it.
00:50:48We're done.
00:50:51Oh, please. You think a fake diamond necklace could buy my daughter's heart?
00:50:55How much did you spend on this trash? $20? $50?
00:51:00Babe, tell them how much the necklace I bought you is worth.
00:51:04$70 grand.
00:51:06My gift for you was auctioned for $2 million. But you throw it away for him and his second-rate
00:51:11jewels.
00:51:12I'm so tired of your bullshit! You need a wake-up call!
00:51:24He's lost it! He attacked my boyfriend! Security! Get him out!
00:51:28That's enough, young man. Dr. Lee's an asset to ThroneTech, and this is her party.
00:51:34She says you're out. You're out! Now get lost!
00:51:41We found Arthur, madam.
00:51:44Where?
00:51:44He's inside Throne HQ, at Dr. Lee's welcome party. Sounds like things are getting ugly.
00:51:51Dr. Lee?
00:51:53Quick, head to the company now.
00:51:56Yes, madam.
00:51:58What are you waiting for, sucker? Doors that way.
00:52:01Just leave, Arthur, before this gets worse for you.
00:52:03Worse?
00:52:05How?
00:52:06Because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:52:09You want to be a laughing stock? Fine.
00:52:11But don't expect me to save you when this all blows up in your face.
00:52:15Save me? That's rich. You don't have that power. You never did.
00:52:19You mess with me, you mess with the Throne family.
00:52:22Pisans like you can't afford the price.
00:52:24Final warning. Walk out on your own, or I'll have security drag you out.
00:52:28Go ahead. Call your guards. But let's be clear. I walked into this building because I have every
00:52:33right to be here. And none of you has the power to push me out. Not even Anya Throne herself.
00:52:40Faster! I don't care what it takes. Get me to him, now!
00:52:43Yes, madam.
00:52:47Do you have any idea what the name Anya Throne means?
00:52:50Wow. You're even dumber than I thought. You just insulted the woman who built this empire.
00:52:55Even my father wouldn't dare challenge her. But you? You're so done.
00:53:00So, in your world, Anya Throne might be an untouchable goddess. But in mine, she's just a woman with some
00:53:07talent. I'd be more worried if I were you. Because you tried to put a hand on me, she might
00:53:12have a
00:53:12bigger problem with you. You must have a death wish.
00:53:15Arthur, I get that the breakup hurt. But now, you're spiraling. Disrespecting Lady Throne like that?
00:53:21I was actually going to get you a janitor job here. But after this, you're not even worth that.
00:53:26You were going to recommend me for a janitor position?
00:53:29Do you know how competitive it is just to work here? You should be grateful. Even our security
00:53:35guards have degrees. And you didn't even finish years.
00:53:39I don't need a degree to prove myself. My achievement speaks for itself. That's how real business works.
00:53:45Clearly, it's beyond your imagination.
00:53:47You're talking nonsense again. After everything happens today,
00:53:50there's no place for you in ThroneTech. You blew your only chance to fix your sore life.
00:53:54I never needed your recommendation. And as for whether ThroneTech has a place for me,
00:54:01why don't you go ask Anya Thorn yourself?
00:54:14Where is Arthur? Conference hall. It's tense. From what I heard,
00:54:19he and Serena Lee were involved. She dumped him.
00:54:22They broke up? Well, that saves me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancé.
00:54:30What's your goal here, Arthur? Seriously? Trying to crash and burn in public? I'll tell
00:54:36you what it is. He couldn't have you. So now he wants to drag you down with him.
00:54:41Ugh. Pathetic ex-revenge. Such a petty man. Don't worry, Serena. I've got you.
00:54:48Victor's father is the vice chair. With their support, whatever stunt he's pulling ends.
00:54:54Trust me. Once Lady Throne shows up, he's got maybe five minutes left.
00:54:59I can't believe how dumb you are, Arthur. No wonder you achieved nothing in our seven years together.
00:55:05I wasted so much time on you. Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:55:12Was it? Because when the truth comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:55:25What? Lady Throne just arrived? Lady Throne. She came straight from the airport. She's in the lobby now.
00:55:32Wait. She actually came? Oh my god! She came to support Serena! You hear that?
00:55:39Anya Throne is here for my daughter! My daughter is the future of Throne Tech!
00:55:45This is it. We need to take out this human trash before Lady Throne arrives. He's literally
00:55:52making the room smell cheap. Hear that, dumbass? Throne Tech doesn't take in strays.
00:56:00Get out while you still have legs to walk on.
00:56:07Here's your last chance. Half a million dollars. Half a million? You're flattering him!
00:56:13It's worth it to keep him from ruining my night. Take the money, Arthur. Disappear.
00:56:19That's more than you'll see in ten lifetimes. Be smart, take it, and vanish.
00:56:26You talk a lot about power, Serena.
00:56:35But when you learn who I am...
00:56:49You'll be begging me for mercy.
00:56:51What the hell?! You ungrateful bastard?! You dare humiliate me?!
00:56:56You really think you're someone now?! Someone's gonna change everything?!
00:57:04Then, make your little announcement. But if it's bullshit, you'll be crawling out of here, kissing every shoe in this
00:57:13room.
00:57:13Oh, come on. This low-status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone's shoes here.
00:57:28He's my husband.
00:57:32Is that status high enough for you?
00:57:39Who said I came alone?
00:57:43Wow. You really went all out on this. You even chartered the whole plane.
00:57:46So, die.
00:57:51I'm the warden. I do as I please.
00:57:56That face. It's almost a shame to defeat you.
00:58:03That face.
00:58:13Bang.
00:58:18Master never gets bored of these little escape games, does he?
00:58:22Poison in the wine?
00:58:24If my implants didn't neutralize toxins, you might have actually walked out of here.
00:58:28You really are a monster. But it wasn't poison.
00:58:32Then what?
00:58:33Just a little mood answer for a man like you.
00:58:39A real man doesn't need that. I'm a married man.
00:58:42Tricked into it, sure, but that just means cosplay's my limit.
00:58:46No way! You're stopping already?! What, are you gay?!
00:58:50An S rank with over a hundred K synergy? And she lost?
00:58:54Perfect. Guess we wait till next month's game to try again.
00:59:01You're obviously powerful. So why pretend to be an F rank?
00:59:05Every scanner I've ever taken says my synergy's an eight.
00:59:09Impossible. F rake synergy doesn't hit like that. S rake breaks a million.
00:59:14That strike of yours, it matched Carl himself, the SSS rake legend. What on earth is he hiding?
00:59:33Edward, get out here! Now!
00:59:37Relax. I'll drag him out myself.
00:59:40Edward, come out or I'll tear this dump apart!
00:59:45How dare you!
00:59:51Watch your tone. Strike a private prison breaks the rules, Lilia.
00:59:56How dare you call Lady Lilia by her name, you trash!
00:59:59What should he call her then? Wife?
01:00:01I'm not your wife, Edward. I'm up for promotion in Legion X, and I need resources.
01:00:05You cut my funding. Do you know how much this is costing me?!
01:00:07Your future? You begged me for that Legion X position. Swore you'd marry me?
01:00:11You took the credit and vanished the day before the ceremony. Left me challenged, right in front of the whole
01:00:15city.
01:00:17Where's the bride? The ceremony's already running late.
01:00:21Miss Lilia.
01:00:22She's gone. Left this data log.
01:00:25Thanks for the X-Legion spot, Edward. That's all I needed. The wedding's off. I meant for something bigger.
01:00:31It means the bride ran away on the wedding night?!
01:00:33Edward only had 8% synergy. Total F-rank trash. Money was the only reason he ever got close to
01:00:39her.
01:00:39An F-rank like you thinks he can marry an S-rank genius?
01:00:43Enough!
01:00:51Brother, I can explain-
01:00:53Don't. Call me brother. You've shamed this family. From today on, you're exiled.
01:00:58Go to the far north, be a prison warden, and don't ever come back.
01:01:04Everything I am, I owe to you. And you have the nerve to come here and demand answers from me.
01:01:09Don't play the victim. I never wanted this. I'm here to end it. Then sign it.
01:01:15You've been rotting in this frozen hell for years. After the divorce, I want half your assets.
01:01:25Lillia, do I look like a pus over to you?
01:01:27So what if you are? She's Legion X now. Battalion Commander. And you? Nobody. The Gustav name won't lift a
01:01:35finger for you.
01:01:36He's in such a remote place, he definitely doesn't know about Charles and me.
01:01:39But a man stuck in a women's prison for so long, rumors are everywhere. It's only right that I divorce
01:01:44him.
01:01:46Edward! What are you doing?!
01:01:48What am I doing? You think a greedy, heartless snake like you gets to talk about divorce and walk away
01:01:53with my money?
01:01:55Victor. If anyone's filing, it's me. And you'll be paying back every single credit I ever put into you.
01:02:00You!
01:02:02You!
01:02:06You knew about this the whole time?
01:02:08You think I'd let this stay buried? One upload to Legion X's inspection database, and your command vanishes.
01:02:14Overwhelm the data! Divorce me! My battalion's command key is yours!
01:02:22Lillia, you're giving that to him?! That's our entire battalion's operational authority! For free! Why?!
01:02:28That's not your concern. Know your place. In the field. You answer to me.
01:02:34If your little dog's so hungry for it, feed it to him. You ungrateful piece of trash! I'll defeat you
01:02:40myself!
01:02:44Edward!
01:02:48Would you look at that? Still stamped with my family's serial code.
01:02:53Don't worry! Trash like him doesn't have the sink rate to even ignite that blade!
01:03:09Easy now. Look at you.
01:03:13You're shaking. My sink rate's an eight. No way I could power up something like this.
01:03:19You!
01:03:23Wait. Maybe I really did see things. There's no way that trash could-
01:03:32Got it.
01:03:35After I've made enough money off yours, I'll pay you back. Clean break. We're even.
01:03:43But Lillia-
01:03:44Stop talking! This was your idea anyway. Don't blame me.
01:03:46There's a mission from HQ. Edward. Unlike a useless parasite like you, we live in completely different worlds. Move!
01:03:52Hurry up! Let's go!
01:03:58Yeah, we really are from different worlds. I don't work under anyone. That's the difference.
01:04:03Congratulations. That's one less headache.
01:04:05Ugh. I was actually trying to be useless on purpose. You and Rebecca think I'm trash, so I could just
01:04:10coast through life. Why not?
01:04:11Only I know the truth. The young ally's mechanical sink rate was never eight. It's infinity.
01:04:18The undisputable ally of machines.
01:04:23You little bastard. Living too comfortably, aren't you?
01:04:27Not bad, Grandpa.
01:04:29I know you've been avoiding the Lillia marriage fraud case. Just to dodge responsibility. You really think I'd let you
01:04:35get away with that, kid?
01:04:39Who's this? She's... pretty.
01:04:41You just said it yourself. The current president of the Quinn Group in Derry. Your new fiancé.
01:04:49No way. Are you kidding me? I just got rid of a female battalion, Chimancher. And now you hand me
01:04:55a female CEO?
01:04:57You ruined my peaceful life!
01:05:00No way.
01:05:08Master, why aren't we taking our own airship? The Gustav family jet's far more comfortable than this.
01:05:13If you want every inmit back at Blackwater to know we're gone, by all means, take the family airship. Make
01:05:18a scene.
01:05:19My brother pulled every competent guard the day I took this post. Just to twist the knife.
01:05:24The only reason they haven't torn the place apart is because they still remember who I am.
01:05:29Forced into a blind date. Should have kept Lillia around a bit longer. At least she was a buffer.
01:05:34Angelina Quinn. CEO. Pretty face, sure. But way too stiff. Nothing like playing assassination games with the girls back in
01:05:41prison. Now that's more like it.
01:05:42Something to drink, sir. We have the standard selection, of course. But also a rather special champagne blend.
01:05:49Is the service on this airline always so...attentive?
01:05:53Only for passengers as handsome as you.
01:05:55Orange juice, please. Way to defeat the mood. Champagne, please.
01:05:59Excellent taste.
01:06:00Well, when a beautiful woman makes it special, I've got to see what the fuss is about.
01:06:04That's weird. Why am I so tired all of...
01:06:08Huh. Something in the drink, I take it?
01:06:10You know the answer to that!
01:06:12Just thinking I miss this kind of fun. You're recreating the scene for me. How thoughtful.
01:06:17Someone told me to give you a message. Crawl back to that miserable prison of yours. Or this plane becomes
01:06:23your grave.
01:06:25With skills like yours, I don't think you're the one to watch.
01:06:30Who said I came alone?
01:06:34Wow. You really went all out on this. You even chartered the whole plane.
01:06:38So, die.
01:06:53That all you got?
01:07:01Isn't that the Quinn Group CEO? What's she doing here?
01:07:03She's even better looking in person than in the hollows.
01:07:06Prison job. No private airship. Flying commercial.
01:07:09Good off name or not, he's practically disowned. Hopefully he knows when to back off.
01:07:13Just go back where you came from.
01:07:18What's all that racket?
01:07:20Guess I'm getting old. Sleep comes easy. Master, are you all right?
01:07:25What could possibly be wrong with me?
01:07:27Your file says you're F rank. Single digit synergy. So why are you this strong?
01:07:30Curiosity is a dangerous thing. Tell me who sent you. Maybe I'll let you walk.
01:07:35We have standards.
01:07:38Forget it. We're almost there. I'll let the government forces sort you out.
01:07:42I told you. We have standards.
01:07:51Look, news just broke. Flight X to Durley energy burst mid-air. No survivors!
01:08:04Dead. Just like that?
01:08:09Isn't that Pete Claude's private transport? The richest man in Durley? What's he doing here himself?
01:08:13Who's important enough for Pete to play shoker?
01:08:16If I were the richest woman alive, my family's cash flow wouldn't be choking and I wouldn't be stuck in
01:08:20this absurd arranged marriage.
01:08:25Dairy's burning up. Pete here yet? Over there. I told him to keep it low key.
01:08:29You weren't exactly subtle getting us out of that explosion either. No one saw.
01:08:34Who the hell is this hick? You think you can just climb in here? Get out!
01:08:38You ungrateful wretch! Get out of my sight!
01:08:45Master Edward! My deepest apologies! I failed to train my staff properly. I deserve this!
01:08:50All right. All right. Just drive. I've told you a hundred times. Keep a low profile.
01:08:54Yes! Yes! Of course!
01:08:59Master, if you show up dressed like that, won't it reflect poorly on the old man?
01:09:03I'm already doing him a favor by showing up besides. You ever hear that saying?
01:09:06With great power comes great responsibility. No need to look too powerful.
01:09:14Dad! That blind date you set up! Edward! His plane went down! He's already...
01:09:19Dead.
01:09:20Hello. My name is Edward. Didn't startle you, did I?
01:09:24Edward? No. I thought you...
01:09:27Overslept? Missed the flight. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have had the pleasure.
01:09:31Oh. I see.
01:09:33Don't just stand there. We've been waiting ages. Forgive her. Angelina's a bit slow sometimes.
01:09:41Slow's good. Means she's steady. Unlike some people.
01:09:47This is what you bring on your first visit?
01:09:49Is something wrong, Auntie? I heard the old man enjoys a good vintage, so...
01:09:53You're trying to pass off some mystery bottle on us?
01:09:59Auntie, it's a vintage Roman A. Conte. I had someone pull it from one of the old Earth Earth climate
01:10:03vaults.
01:10:04You think I can't tell? This cheap counterfeit can't be real. Grandfather values his collection above all else. If he
01:10:09gets hurt, the whole family will pay.
01:10:11Honestly, this came from Pete. Should be legitimate.
01:10:13Pete? The richest man in Durley? You work at Blackwater Prison in the far north. How would you possibly know
01:10:20him?
01:10:20They really did their homework. Wouldn't be surprised if this guy hired the welcoming committee on the plane.
01:10:26Great. He's vain and blind. Now Wesley gets to watch us all squirm.
01:10:32Wesley! Darling! You shouldn't have!
01:10:35Flowers for the radiant Angelina. Uncle George, a vintage Charles Shaw from the old world, specially procured for the old
01:10:44man.
01:10:44Well, real or not, Edward meant well.
01:10:47Uncle George, drinking counterfeit wine is bad for the system. You know my collection. I know world vintage better than
01:10:52anyone.
01:10:54Romone comp…
01:10:55Oh my god!
01:10:58He's playing.
01:10:59Grazie a tutti.
