00:00:0016 years. Ever since that lab explosion took my parents, I've been locked in this cage by Caleb Thorne.

00:00:1116 years. Ever since that lab explosion took my parents, I've been locked in this cage by Caleb Thorne.
00:00:18He's my guardian and my secret lover.
00:00:21He said once I got a faculty position at Faircroft, he'd consider being with me.
00:00:26Today's my 24th birthday.
00:00:28I turned down every invitation, ready to give myself to him.
00:00:39Caleb, slow down.
00:00:42Isn't it your little orphan's birthday today?
00:00:45Stay focused. Why bring her up?
00:00:49Heard she turned down every academic offer for you, dead set on getting in your bed.
00:00:54You've kept her in Manhattan for 16 years.
00:00:56Are you actually going to touch that virgin?
00:01:03Just a canary with a mental illness who can't survive without me.
00:01:09I keep her around to clean up the mess from that lab accident years ago.
00:01:12I know. I know the difference between a woman and a pet.
00:01:25Ella, who gave you permission to watch?
00:01:28Go back to your room.
00:01:42Caleb, you promised me.
00:01:46Dressed like this outside my door?
00:01:49You think you're some cheap whore?
00:01:51Today's my 24th birthday.
00:01:53I got the faculty offer from Faircroft.
00:01:55You'd consider us...
00:01:58Like the state of my her own in Hellman.
00:02:00You said once I had it, you'd consider us...
00:02:02I spent millions raising you.
00:02:03And this is how you repay me?
00:02:05With this filthy little scheme?
00:02:07I just love you, Caleb.
00:02:08Love?
00:02:09You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around.
00:02:12You read a few books,
00:02:13and you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
00:02:30Listen up, all of you.
00:02:32Starting tonight,
00:02:33Serena is the lady of this penthouse.
00:02:35What she says, goes.
00:02:38Yes, Mr. Thorne.
00:02:51Professor at Fairchit?
00:02:53Sounds real impressive.
00:02:55That promise?
00:02:56It was all just a game to you, wasn't it?
00:03:01Just a trick to keep a pet entertained.
00:03:04Who knew you'd be stupid enough to believe it?
00:03:10Know your place, Ella.
00:03:12Try this cheap little stunk again,
00:03:14and I'll throw you back to the slumps.
00:03:22Call the family trust.
00:03:24Separate Ella's bills from the family account.
00:03:26She's not part of the Thorne family.
00:03:28Just a pet I keep.
00:03:31Long-term investment.
00:03:33I was just a priced pet to him this whole time.
00:03:38Caleb, why are you still wearing this cheap thing?
00:03:42You're right.
00:03:43Cheap things don't belong on my wrist.
00:03:49That was his 18th birthday gift.
00:03:52I bought it with the money I made from my part-time work.
00:03:55He promised me he'd wear it forever.
00:03:59This Pat Felilip,
00:04:00I bought it at auction just for you.
00:04:02This is what fits your status.
00:04:15What are you still doing here?
00:04:17Take out the trash.
00:04:18You're getting in Serena's way.
00:04:24Caleb, bringing a moody orphan to a place like this?
00:04:27It's like you.
00:04:29It's not like you.
00:04:31A pet needs to see the real world,
00:04:33so she doesn't forget her worth.
00:04:35I don't know what I did wrong.
00:04:37Ever since he met Serena,
00:04:39he's done nothing but humiliate me like this.
00:04:44Polaris!
00:04:45Polaris, that's the graduation gift he promised me.
00:04:48Caleb, this is for me?
00:04:51Polaris means the one and only guide.
00:04:54Only a woman who stands equal to the Thorn family deserves this.
00:05:04Pretty, isn't it, Ella?
00:05:05It's a gift from Caleb.
00:05:07Caleb, you lied to me.
00:05:09Lied to you?
00:05:11You think a faculty offer at Fairtick
00:05:13makes you worthy to stand by my side?
00:05:15You said it was mine.
00:05:17You're just a pet I own.
00:05:19Pets don't get to demand gifts from their masters.
00:05:23Get out.
00:05:24You're ruining the night.
00:05:31Gentlemen, to another successful quarter.
00:05:35Indeed.
00:05:37Though I must say,
00:05:39the real victory is yet to come.
00:05:42Couldn't agree more, Caleb.
00:05:52Ella, the chef made this especially for you.
00:05:56Have a taste.
00:06:00I'm sorry.
00:06:01I can't eat this.
00:06:04What's wrong?
00:06:04Not to your taste?
00:06:07Ready, don't have out-tip that escapes.
00:06:10All the partners are watching, Ella.
00:06:12Refusing your host food at a dinner party is terribly rude.
00:06:16Caleb, you know.
00:06:17I go into an anaphylactic shock if I eat peanuts.
00:06:24Cut the crap and stop making a scene.
00:06:34Caleb.
00:06:35Eat it.
00:06:36Don't make me say it again.
00:06:40He knew how deadly my peanut allergy was.
00:06:44Yet to save his new lover's face,
00:06:46he's forcing me to do this.
00:06:50He's forcing me to do this.
00:07:17Caleb.
00:07:21Oh my God.
00:07:22Caleb.
00:07:22She's terrifying like this. I am scared.
00:07:29Throw her out. Do not let her ruin Serena night.
00:07:48Well, what do we have here?
00:07:50A poor little thing thrown out by someone.
00:07:53You're real pretty.
00:07:55Why don't you keep me company?
00:08:04Ella?
00:08:05What happened to you?
00:08:06Hold on.
00:08:07I am taking you to the hospital right now.
00:08:10Hold on!
00:08:11I am taking you to the hospital right now!
00:08:23You're finally awake. The doctor said you'd be dead if you'd arrive ten minutes later.
00:08:31Where's Caleb? He's your legal guardian. How could he lead you to die in an alley?
00:08:36Sixteen years by his side. I thought I was his treasure.
00:08:39Until last night, I realized I was nothing but trash he could throw away whenever he wanted.
00:08:45Elliot, thank you for saving me.
00:08:47Are you...okay?
00:08:52I'm fine. I just...finally woke up.
00:08:57Caleb Thorne.
00:08:59Caleb Thorne.
00:08:59From today on, I don't love you anymore.
00:09:06Well, look who's here.
00:09:07The stray dog Caleb keeps around.
00:09:09You sure have a hard life, didn't die in the hospital?
00:09:13Well, besides that pretty face, all she's good at is sucking up to people.
00:09:26That's the only thing my parents left me!
00:09:28How dare you use it as a table-coater!
00:09:31Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was just a piece of worthless trash.
00:09:36I wouldn't touch that if I were you.
00:09:38Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:09:39That champagne tower is resting on it.
00:09:41Every bottle here is worth more than your life.
00:09:43Can you afford it if it collapses?
00:09:45That's my parents' memento.
00:09:47Take it out and give it back to me.
00:09:49Memento?
00:09:49It's just a piece of junk.
00:09:51Being a coaster is the only use it has, just like you.
00:09:57This has everything that belongs to me!
00:09:59Give it back to me!
00:10:01You filthy little thing.
00:10:02You really think Caleb kept you around because he cared?
00:10:04He was just bored, keeping a dog for fun.
00:10:07Now that I'm marrying you to the Thorne family, you're not even worth a dog.
00:10:14What's all this noise about?
00:10:21A cursed child like you can't even hold onto your parents' memento?
00:10:25How dare you think you deserve to stand by Caleb's side?
00:10:28Get out of my way!
00:10:29I'm getting that drive back!
00:10:40Caleb, it hurts!
00:10:42Caleb, I just used a useless hard drive to prop up the table and she tried to kill me!
00:10:48She's jealous I'm marrying you!
00:10:50She wanted me to die in all this glass!
00:10:55I didn't push her!
00:10:56Where's my drive?
00:10:58It's the only thing my parents left me!
00:11:00Ella, stop it!
00:11:02Are you willing to throw your life away for a piece of junk?
00:11:14Caleb, I got it!
00:11:19Ella, you've really disappointed me.
00:11:21His words completely shattered the fantasy I've held for 16 years.
00:11:24I saw him as a god, my only salvation.
00:11:27But in his eyes, I'm not even worth a single tear from Serena.
00:11:33Get her back!
00:11:34It's the only thing they left me!
00:11:36You dared to hurt someone over a worthless piece of junk?
00:11:39Serena is the future lady of the Thorne family.
00:11:41Your viciousness makes me sick.
00:11:45It's the only thing they left me.
00:11:47I knew they were just dying of murder.
00:11:50I knew it was a ay...
00:11:54I knew it was a crime, but I knew it was a crime.
00:11:55They're absolutely all that.
00:11:56It's just as it's happened.
00:11:56Yeah, it's just a crime.
00:11:58I know.
00:11:58Now that this is gone, you will behave yourself.
00:12:00If you pull something like this again, I'll have you sent straight to prison.
00:12:06As you wish, Mr. Thorne.
00:12:10Ella, as Caleb's former mentor, I have to warn you.
00:12:12Project Absolute Zero is an extremely high-risk, one-way research mission.
00:12:16Once you enter the subatomic CRIMO chamber, your biological clock will be frozen in stasis.
00:12:20You could suffer brain death at any time during hibernation.
00:12:23Are you sure you want to do this?
00:12:25Ella, even if you want to get away from Caleb, you don't have to gamble your life on this.
00:12:29There's no other way.
00:12:30He raised me for 16 years, and only the high compensation from Distamets and Parabit Alhwe.
00:12:36This is the only way I can completely cut all glungs with him.
00:12:43If you've made up your mind, this still needs the signature and authorization of your legal guardian to take full
00:12:49effect.
00:12:55The scabs on your hands have barely healed, and you're already here to get in my way again?
00:13:00This is a research project application.
00:13:02I need my guardian's signature.
00:13:04Another garbage grant application, Ella?
00:13:06Can you do anything besides leech off me for money?
00:13:09This is the last time.
00:13:11It better be.
00:13:19Take the money and get out of this penthouse.
00:13:22Once you sign this, disappear from my site for good.
00:13:32Caleb, starting today, I will disappear from your world forever.
00:13:47Miss Bennett, are you sure you want to liquidate all of this?
00:13:50This cart-eating sapphire necklace was custom-made by Mr. Thorne as your birthday gift.
00:13:56Pack everything.
00:13:58I'll take below market value if the funds can be transferred today.
00:14:01Understood.
00:14:02I'll arrange it immediately.
00:14:05I once thought all of this was proof of his affection for me, but it turned out to be nothing
00:14:11but a way to keep me caged.
00:14:14Miss Bennett, as you requested, the full liquidation is complete.
00:14:17From the day you were taken into the Thorne family's custody at age 8 until now.
00:14:21This includes your private school and goal endowments, university tuition, living expenses, medical bills, and even the H.O.O.
00:14:27fees for this Manhattan penthouse.
00:14:28Plus the maximum commercial loan interest over these 16 years.
00:14:31The total is 80 million U.S. dollars.
00:14:35Not a single cent is missing, correct?
00:14:36That's right.
00:14:37But Miss Bennett, are you sure you want to do this?
00:14:39There's no legal obligation for you to pay this back.
00:14:42I don't want to owe him anything.
00:14:45This is almost your entire net worth.
00:14:48It doesn't matter.
00:14:49This money is exactly enough to buy out my 16 years.
00:14:54Use every resource in the lab.
00:14:56I want every single bit of data on this drive recovered.
00:14:59No exceptions.
00:15:00Mr. Thorne, this drive suffered catastrophic physical damage and was submerged in ice water.
00:15:05Even with the most advanced quantum recovery equipment, the success rate is extremely low.
00:15:09I don't want to hear about probabilities.
00:15:11If you can't recover the data, your entire team is out of Manhattan tomorrow.
00:15:17Yes, sir.
00:15:18I'll handle it immediately.
00:15:27Sir, these are the final funding documents for Project Absolute Zero, a joint initiative between the Pentagon and NASA.
00:15:32They require your final confirmation and signature.
00:15:36For routine approvals like this, have the VP sign them from now on.
00:16:08Why is Ella's name on this list?
00:16:11Volunteer 01 for the subatomic Creo Chamber.
00:16:13Sign the highest risk one-way agreement.
00:16:15Waving all rights to their life.
00:16:17There's no way this is Miss Bennett.
00:16:25A death waiver?
00:16:26No, this can't be happening.
00:16:29The number you have dialed is switched off.
00:16:31Cancel all my meetings this afternoon.
00:16:33But sir, we're supposed to finalize the wedding venue this afternoon.
00:16:40Caleb!
00:16:40The designer from Paris is waiting downstairs.
00:16:42Come help me pick from these wedding dresses.
00:16:44Move.
00:16:45I don't have time for this right now.
00:16:47Where are you going?
00:16:49We're sending out the invitations tomorrow.
00:16:51Is there anything more important than our wedding?
00:17:01Check.
00:17:02Immediately access the back-end database of the federal recruitment system and re-verify the identity file for Volunteer 01.
00:17:09Yes, sir.
00:17:10Accessing it now.
00:17:12Sir, it's verified.
00:17:14There was an input error on the document.
00:17:16Volunteer 01 is a Hispanic male.
00:17:20The $100,000 has been wired.
00:17:23Received.
00:17:24Which database do you want to access?
00:17:25Federal recruitment system, Volunteer 01.
00:17:28Wipe the original name, change the gender to male, and plug in a random Hispanic background.
00:17:32Full network coverage in two minutes.
00:17:35Caleb, what could possibly make you ignore our wedding guest list like this?
00:17:38It's nothing.
00:17:40I knew it.
00:17:42She'd never have the guts to sign a one-way death agreement like that.
00:17:54Stop it!
00:17:55Cut the power right now!
00:17:56Her brainwaves are hitting the critical threshold!
00:17:59Terminating desensitization stimuli.
00:18:07Ella, are you out of your mind?
00:18:09Not even specially trained soldiers can handle this level of simulated hibernation pain.
00:18:14I signed the agreement.
00:18:16There's no turning back.
00:18:20Please, all volunteers of the Project Absolute Zero, go to Hall 1.
00:18:25The representative of the largest private capital sponsor is about to give a speech.
00:18:29Sponsor?
00:18:30I thought the military was keeping this whole thing classified from the public.
00:18:33Come on.
00:18:35Pentagon clearance isn't something just anyone can get.
00:18:53Caleb, why is he here?
00:18:56Sir, these are the advanced volunteers for the subatomic cryopod program.
00:19:01Subject Zero-One is among them.
00:19:03Zero-One?
00:19:04That is my number.
00:19:06He did not just know I signed that death warrant.
00:19:09He is here to make sure I really disappear from his world for good.
00:19:14I am not here to give you cheap sympathy or empty words of comfort.
00:19:19Thorne Global Group has poured $10 billion into Project Absolute Zero.
00:19:23As far as I am concerned, the one-way agreement you signed is nothing more than a high-risk, high
00:19:26-reward investment.
00:19:28Scientific progress always comes with a cost.
00:19:30As long as the data is valuable, every write-off is an acceptable business experience.
00:19:34Sixteen years by his side, and in his eyes, I am nothing more than a set of cold numbers he
00:19:40can write off whenever he wants.
00:19:46Sir, it's Miss Serena Huntington.
00:19:48The Huntington family is pressing for the final maid-of-honor list for the wedding, and security confirmation for the
00:19:53yacht party.
00:20:09Ella, you okay?
00:20:15I'm fine.
00:20:18Caleb, my life is yours to keep.
00:20:21I hope you and your bride have a very happy wedding.
00:20:27Three days.
00:20:28I cut off all her cards.
00:20:29She can't survive without me.
00:20:30She's definitely holed up in that room.
00:20:32I'm crying her eyes out right now.
00:20:34Invalid user.
00:20:35Permissions have been cleared.
00:20:36Ah, that's not possible.
00:20:41You changed the lock code?
00:20:43Ella, you've got some nerve!
00:20:54Ella!
00:20:55Get out here!
00:20:57Quit with this childish game!
00:21:12We're even?
00:21:13Ella?
00:21:14Who the hell gave you permission to be even with me?
00:21:27Sorry.
00:21:28The number you have dialed is switched off.
00:21:34Damn it, Ella.
00:21:35You think you can hide somewhere and I won't find you?
00:21:49Caleb, there you are.
00:21:51Look, Vera sent this over personally.
00:21:53You haven't even tried on your tux yet.
00:21:57Take it off.
00:21:59What?
00:22:00I said, take that disgusting dress off.
00:22:03The wedding's off.
00:22:05Are you insane?
00:22:06Every media outlet in New York is waiting for the ceremony tomorrow.
00:22:10Both our family stocks jumped 10 points off this merger.
00:22:14And you're saying it's off now?
00:22:16Don't make me say it twice.
00:22:17Ella's gone.
00:22:19Until I find her, no one's walking through the doors of the Thorn Estate as my wife.
00:22:27Caleb, you're humiliating me for that little part!
00:22:46Who the hell gave you permission to move anything in here?
00:22:48Where's the owner?
00:22:49Sir, we're just doing our job.
00:22:51Hey man, who are you looking for?
00:22:53Who the hell are you?
00:22:54This house belongs to Ella Bennett.
00:22:56What gives you the right to live here?
00:22:59Chill out!
00:23:00I bought this place through a licensed agency.
00:23:03I'm the legal owner now.
00:23:05Mr. Thorn!
00:23:06Please let go.
00:23:07This is all completely legal.
00:23:09You're the realtor for this property.
00:23:11Who gave you the balls to sell it?
00:23:13It was Mrs. Ella Bennett herself, sir.
00:23:15She came into the office a week ago and signed all the paperwork personally.
00:23:18Her only condition was that we sell it 20% below market value,
00:23:21but the full cash amount had to hit her account within 24 hours.
00:23:46Caleb, does that look straight?
00:23:49Doesn't it feel like home now?
00:23:50The whole of Manhattan can be your home,
00:23:53as long as you stay where I can see you.
00:24:02What else did she sell?
00:24:04Mrs. Bennett also liquidated all the vehicles in her name,
00:24:07as well as her holdings in the Charitable Foundation.
00:24:12Did she say anything else to you?
00:24:14She said...
00:24:17She said she was going away,
00:24:18and everything she needed for the rest of her life.
00:24:20She didn't fit in a single envelope.
00:24:22All the cash she got from the sales went into that check she wrote to you, sir.
00:24:27She's planned this all along.
00:24:28She was planning to leave me this whole time.
00:24:30Track Ella Bennett's location right now.
00:24:32I don't care what it costs.
00:24:34Find her.
00:24:57Caleb, I want to join the research
00:24:59my parents never got to finish
00:25:03I said no
00:25:04remember Ella
00:25:05you don't go anywhere without my permission
00:25:08you stay right here with me
00:25:15Ella, you lied to me
00:25:35research sponsorship
00:25:39I signed my name on this damn thing myself
00:25:50this is a research project application
00:25:52I need my guardian's signature
00:25:54another garbage grant application
00:25:56Ella, can you do anything besides leech off me for money?
00:25:59this is the last time
00:26:02it better be
00:26:10take the money and get out of this penthouse
00:26:12once you sign this
00:26:14disappear from my sight for good
00:26:18Ella, you lied to me
00:26:24mark
00:26:26lock down every subatomic lab in manhattan
00:26:29now
00:26:29sir, the military's already taking control
00:26:31we can't stop them
00:26:40now
00:26:52Elo, get me a glass of water
00:27:00The number you have dialed is not in service.
00:27:18Did you find Ella?
00:27:20No, sir.
00:27:21I spend tens of millions a year on you and your team, and you're telling me you can't find one
00:27:26single person?
00:27:27It's Bennett's data. It's been wiped.
00:27:29Her social security number, bank accounts, medical records, access logs, even her cloud photos.
00:27:35Everything's gone.
00:27:42Ella, you think wiping yourself off the map means I won't find you?
00:27:45I'm gonna hunt you down myself and bring you back.
00:27:54Sir, we've sorted through over 3,000 hours of footage, and we still haven't found any sign of Ms. Bennett.
00:28:00Then sort through 30,000! I don't care if we have to turn over every inch of Manhattan, you will
00:28:05find her!
00:28:08Wait! Rewind three seconds, bottom left corner.
00:28:19I found you. Bad girls get punished, you know.
00:28:26Remember this. In Manhattan, you're nothing but my property. Step out a line, and you get punished.
00:28:37I'll be good, Daddy. I promise.
00:28:46Ella, this little runaway game of yours, it's over.
00:28:49See you first.
00:29:18How many people ok-
00:29:29Ella, get out here and face me!
00:29:34On your knees, hands behind your head.
00:29:36Where's Ella?
00:29:37I need to see Ella Bennett!
00:29:46Ella!
00:29:47Give her back to me!
00:29:49Give me my Ella back!
00:30:00Mr. Thorne, you signed this document last week.
00:30:03Under this agreement, this facility is designated as top secret federal restricted land.
00:30:08You are not authorized to enter.
00:30:10I signed a research sponsorship.
00:30:12My Ella is in there.
00:30:13Let her out!
00:30:14Ella, you get out here right now!
00:30:16How dare you!
00:30:18How dare you sign up for this death trap behind my back!
00:30:25Daddy, I want to restart my parents' project Absolute Zero Research.
00:30:31To finish what they started.
00:30:35That garbage your parents were working on, it's worthless.
00:30:39There's no point to any of it.
00:30:41Daddy, I...
00:30:41I'm warning you.
00:30:42You don't touch that research without my permission.
00:30:44I need to do the math.
00:30:46I need to do the math.
00:30:47Okay, daddy.
00:30:48I'll listen...
00:30:50Get off me!
00:30:53Ella!
00:30:54Look at me!
00:30:55I'm ordering you to turn around!
00:31:08Sir, we pulled Ms. Bennett's file.
00:31:10We had to bypass the board's standard review and use security privileges to get this data.
00:31:24What the hell does citizenship revocation mean?
00:31:27According to the experimental brief we obtained, the program requires volunteers to enter the subatomic cryopod.
00:31:32Once the procedure starts, the volunteer's metabolic functions will drop to a complete stamp still.
00:31:37Legally speaking, she will be declared deceased.
00:31:39Get the jet ready! I will not let her go through with this!
00:31:53The End
00:31:54Caleb, in such a rush to see your little pet, don't forget I'm your fiancé.
00:31:59Get out of my way, Serena. I won't warn you twice.
00:32:03Per the Prienogel Agreement's default close, if you leave right now, Thorn Global Group's stock will plummet faster than you
00:32:09can faddle.
00:32:10My family will pull all funding immediately and that precious business empire of yours will crumble to dust in an
00:32:16instant.
00:32:25Take off! Take off right now!
00:32:29Sir, Houston's been hit by a massive storm.
00:32:33Houston airspace is closed. A no-fly order has been issued. All private routes to and from the space base
00:32:39are cancelled indefinitely.
00:32:42God damn it!
00:32:51Step back, Mr. Thorn. This is federal military restricted property. No entry is permitted.
00:32:56Move! Get Ella Bennett out here right now. I'm her legal guardian.
00:32:59Per the Federal Asset Protection Agreement, Dr. Bennett is now classified as National Scientific Research Property.
00:33:05She has signed on to Project Absolute Zero and no one has the right to interfere.
00:33:10Property! I raised her for 16 years! Everything she is, everything she has is mine!
00:33:16You dare tell me I have no rights?!
00:33:19Remember this! You're my most perfect investment. Everything you are is mine.
00:33:24Caleb, Caleb, I'm yours. I'll never leave you.
00:33:30Daddy, please.
00:33:32Say master.
00:33:34I'll tear this whole facility down if I have to. I'm taking her with me today.
00:33:40You can't take her anymore, Caleb.
00:33:45Elliot, you're just her old college classmate. What makes you think you can stop me? Open this gate and give
00:33:50my girl back.
00:33:52Your girl. She's a brilliant biophysics PhD, not your personal pet to lock away.
00:33:57I'm her sugar daddy. I'm the one who gave her every luxury she's ever had.
00:34:02Without me, she would have died with her parents when she was eight years old.
00:34:05Tell her to get out here and see me!
00:34:07You drove all the way across the country here throwing a fit.
00:34:10Are you here as the daddy who bought her life?
00:34:13Or as a man who lost the only woman he's ever loved?
00:34:17Ohhhh.
00:34:20Next time you dare talk to another man behind my back, this punishment will be the least of your worries.
00:34:27Caleb, what am I to you, really?
00:34:30What is she to you, Caleb?
00:34:32I, I...
00:34:36What is she to you?
00:34:41I...
00:34:42I...
00:34:45Caleb, I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore.
00:34:49I want to stand by your side, in the light.
00:34:53When you get that official offer from the Ivy League...
00:34:55I'll get it! You have to keep your promise!
00:35:00I'm her guardian.
00:35:02I can't just stand by and watch her die.
00:35:05She's already in the near absolute zero subatomic scanning pod.
00:35:08Her vital signs are frozen in stasis.
00:35:11Forever.
00:35:12How could it happen so fast?
00:35:13This is how she's cutting every last tie to you, Caleb.
00:35:16You've lost her.
00:35:18Forever.
00:35:33The agents won't hold him off for long.
00:35:35The base already received a legal notice from Thorn Global Group.
00:35:39This is the last transatlantic flight out tonight.
00:35:42You can still back out of the experiment.
00:35:45You don't have to throw your life away to get back at a madman.
00:35:47Geneva?
00:35:49To go be another socialite in a couture gown there?
00:35:53You can start over.
00:35:54Elliot, my soul died on my 24th birthday.
00:36:01That Creopod...
00:36:03It's the perfect fit for this soulless body of mine.
00:36:11I don't care what you have to do.
00:36:13I want Project Absolute Zero's funding dried up in five minutes.
00:36:16Sir, this is a federal government-backed project.
00:36:19Then buy up every last debt this lab owes.
00:36:22Cut their power.
00:36:24Freeze every single research account.
00:36:26If she wants to lock herself in that freezer, I'll smash it to pieces.
00:36:30No one takes her from me.
00:36:32Not even death.
00:36:38Sir, we ran it all down.
00:36:40Ms. Bennett sold every property, every piece of jewelry you ever gave her, including that vintage Pathé Fear Ape watch.
00:36:50She sold that watch?
00:36:53Yes, sir.
00:36:55She put all the cash from the sales into an anonymous trust in your name.
00:36:59The entire sum has been donated to the families of the victims from the lab explosion at Thorn Global Group.
00:37:0516 years ago.
00:37:07She gave everything back.
00:37:09Every last thing.
00:37:10Used it to sever the final thread between us.
00:37:16Caleb!
00:37:18What the hell is going on?
00:37:19The designer has been waiting for two hours.
00:37:22Where the hell is Ella?
00:37:24She bailed on the bridesmaid fitting.
00:37:26And I look like a fool!
00:37:27You froze her card, so go find her and make her whole train.
00:37:31Dressed?
00:37:32Looking like a fool?
00:37:39Merger?
00:37:40Orders?
00:37:41I threw the only woman I've ever loved into a grave for this meaningless garbage.
00:37:46Let go of me.
00:37:48Your disgusting face isn't worth a single hair on her head.
00:37:55Have you lost your mind?
00:37:56I'm your fiancé.
00:37:57How dare you treat me like this?
00:37:59Get out.
00:38:00The engagement's off.
00:38:01I don't want to see your face ever again.
00:38:05Get the finance team in here.
00:38:07Mr. Thorn, what are you planning?
00:38:09Sell every share in the group.
00:38:10Liquidate every asset to my name.
00:38:12I'm buying the lab.
00:38:14I want full control of that cryopod.
00:38:17You can't run from me, Ella.
00:38:19I told you.
00:38:20Without my permission, even death can't take you away from me.
00:38:30Mr. Thorn, today's proceedings are closed.
00:38:34Only invited scientific delegates and official media are permitted entry.
00:38:38Closed?
00:38:4070% of the liquid helium cooling patents used in Project Absolute Zero belong to Thorn Global Group.
00:38:47I'm here as the lead sponsor and patent holder to inspect my assets.
00:38:53But Dr. Hayes specifically instructed-
00:38:54Listen to me.
00:38:56I don't care what Hayes said.
00:38:58Move.
00:39:00Or in five, five minutes, my legal team will file a mandatory injunction to the federal court and cut the
00:39:06power to the entire core facility.
00:39:26Please don't.
00:39:31Good afternoon.
00:39:33Today, Project Absolute Zero officially enters its live testing phase.
00:39:37As the first test subject for the deep cryo hibernation pod, I'd like to deliver my final project briefing here.
00:39:45I chose this project to carry on my parents' legacy in biophysics.
00:39:50The experimental data they left unfinished will be continued by me when I wake.
00:39:57Thank you to NASCA for the equipment support and to my mentor, Dr. Arthur.
00:40:04A special thank you to researcher Elliot Hayes.
00:40:08I never would have made it this far without you.
00:40:12I have cut every last tie to my past.
00:40:15My research and this body belong to the future.
00:40:19Briefing complete.
00:40:25Ella.
00:40:38Mr. Thorne, don't move.
00:40:40This facility is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense.
00:40:46Move.
00:40:47She's mine.
00:40:48You have no right to take her from me.
00:40:50Ella.
00:40:52Look at me.
00:40:53The wedding's off.
00:40:54Don't go in there.
00:41:02Come home with me.
00:41:03Daddy will take you away anything you want.
00:41:06Happy wedding, Daddy.
00:41:11Once this locks in, it's 20 years.
00:41:14Are you sure about this?
00:41:16Start it.
00:41:21Ella!
00:41:29Sir, we found out what happened.
00:41:30The reason the lab was able to push through the experiment despite your freeze order is because someone filed federal
00:41:37approval on their behalf.
00:41:38Who?
00:41:39It was Miss Serena Huntington.
00:41:41She used her family's political connections to greenlight the lab.
00:41:44Roll the cameras.
00:41:47Mr. Thorne is simply suffering from exhaustion from the recent merger.
00:41:50He's resting up well.
00:41:52Our engagement ceremony will proceed as scheduled.
00:41:55Get out.
00:41:56The press is right outside.
00:41:58If you throw a fit now, the group's stock will crash.
00:42:02Let every reporter outside in here.
00:42:04Now.
00:42:07I'm only here to announce two things today.
00:42:15First, the engagement is off.
00:42:17Effective immediately, Thorne Global Group is severing all business ties with the Huntington family.
00:42:22Second, I will be liquidating my entire personal stake in the company, with all proceeds going to the continued research
00:42:30of Project Absolute Zero.
00:42:34Caleb!
00:42:35The default penalties for this manatural breach are astronomical!
00:42:40Save your breath.
00:42:42My legal team submitted all evidence of the Huntington family's offshore fund manipulation to the SEC half an hour ago.
00:42:49The FBI should be raiding your father's office right about now.
00:42:52You can worry about the default penalties when you're paying your family's legal fees.
00:42:55What?
00:42:56Have you lost your mind?
00:42:58You're going to take down two entire conglomerates for that woman?
00:43:01You're the one who locked her in that pod.
00:43:03I locked her in there?
00:43:04Who are you trying to fool with this lovesick act, Caleb?
00:43:07Did I force her to sign that agreement?
00:43:09Was I the one who, in front of all of New York's high society, shoved that peanut butter salad down
00:43:15her throat and watched her choke and go into an anaphylactic shock?
00:43:18You treated her like a dog you could kick around whenever you wanted.
00:43:21You're the one who drove her to this.
00:43:23She'd rather freeze herself solid than look at you ever again.
00:43:27Don't pin this on me, Caleb.
00:43:29You know better than anyone.
00:43:30The person she hates most in this world is you.
00:43:33Get out!
00:43:34All of you!
00:43:35Get out!
00:43:44Mr. Thorne, if we move forward with this liquidation, the 60-year legacy of Thorne Global Gleam will be gone
00:43:51in an instant.
00:43:52This is suicide.
00:43:53I want cash.
00:43:55Nothing else.
00:43:56Have you lost your mind, Caleb?
00:43:57You are going to dissolve the entire conglomerate for this dead-end cryo project?
00:44:01As far as I am concerned, this entire conglomerate is not worth a single breath of liquid nitrogen for her.
00:44:06Liquidate every factory, every patent.
00:44:09I want the cash in my account by sundown.
00:44:13Mr. Thorne, this the sum is enough to buy three space agencies.
00:44:17Effective immediately, Ms. Bennett cryopod is under exclusive monitoring protocols.
00:44:22Exclusive?
00:44:23That means no one gets near her but me.
00:44:25No exceptions.
00:44:26Yes, sir.
00:44:27All personnel, including Dr. Hayes, are prohibited from entering a five-mile radius of the monitoring station without your explicit
00:44:35authorization.
00:44:40See, Ella, I told you, you cannot run from me without my permission.
00:44:48See, Ella, I told you, you cannot run from me without my permission.
00:45:10Ella.
00:45:11Ella.
00:45:17Caleb.
00:45:18It hurts.
00:45:20Be a good girl.
00:45:23I know.
00:45:24Caleb.
00:45:26I only have you.
00:45:28Daddy, please.
00:45:29Don't leave me.
00:45:31Never leave me.
00:45:33I'm sorry.
00:45:35I'm sorry.
00:45:36I'm sorry.
00:45:38I will never leave you.
00:45:40You hear me?
00:45:41Not until the day I die.
00:45:43You are stuck with me.
00:45:45For the rest of your life!
00:45:49It is okay.
00:45:51You sleep.
00:45:52I am not going anywhere.
00:45:55I am right here, waiting for you.
00:46:01I am not going anywhere.
00:46:09I am sure I am.
00:46:09But...
00:46:20They say the snow will bury us all,
00:46:22but I think it's just the beginning.
00:46:30Shit!
00:46:42Open!
00:46:44Goddammit, open!
00:46:48She can't die!
00:47:01You're mine. No one can take you from me.
00:47:08Mr Thorne, this violates every ethical review. Buying the first right of custody over a test subject, it makes her
00:47:16your personal property.
00:47:17My foundation will fund this project in full, indefinitely.
00:47:25On one condition, only I can to wake her up.
00:47:29Even if she's nothing but a corpse, she's my corpse.
00:47:44Mom.
00:47:46Dad.
00:47:49Mom.
00:47:50Dad.
00:47:55Mom
00:47:55Mom
00:47:55Mom
00:47:55Mom
00:47:55Mom
00:47:55Mom
00:47:55Mom
00:48:09Soon, Ella, we'll be together forever soon.
00:48:35Don't you dare run you owe me you'll never pay it off not in this life
00:48:55You don't? Dad?
00:49:25Don't go! Take me with you!
00:49:31Go back, Ella. Finish Project Dusk Homecoming.
00:49:35Clear your name.
00:49:48I'm still here.
00:49:59Ella, I can't hold on much longer.
00:50:22No! You cannot leave me!
00:50:27No! You cannot leave me!
00:50:47Ella Bennett. We did it. Welcome to 20 years later.
00:50:58Elliot. I am here.
00:51:00I want to start new research.
00:51:02I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:51:06I want to start new research.
00:51:08I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:51:37The board wants to see the data by Friday.
00:51:40I'm on it.
00:51:43I saw the report.
00:51:48Caleb, I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore.
00:51:52I want to stand by your side, in the light.
00:51:55Today's my 24th birthday.
00:51:57I got the faculty offer from Fairkitch.
00:52:01You said once I had it, you'd consider us...
00:52:05I spent millions raising you.
00:52:07And this is how you repay me?
00:52:09With this filthy little scheme?
00:52:25It's starting.
00:52:47What's wrong with this janitor? Is he sick?
00:52:50He's coughing up blood, looks like.
00:52:56Are you alright? You should go to the infirmary.
00:53:07These hands are only for painting me.
00:53:10Or pleasing me.
00:53:16Daddy, not here.
00:53:19Leave him be, Ella. He's probably scared.
00:53:25Come on, we're going to be late for the meeting.
00:53:28I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:53:36If we plug this set of variables into the absolute zero field,
00:53:40the underlying code logic gets completely rewritten.
00:53:43Ellicott, we were right about the original direction of the deduction.
00:53:47Your intuition is incredible, Ella.
00:53:50Once we fill in this data, we can prove the explosion all those years ago was deliberate sabotage.
00:54:18You bought the entire Alaska experimental base through dozens of shell-comings.
00:54:23companies. You sold off every share of Thorpe Global Group, spent every last dime to keep
00:54:30her life support running? The once untouchable king of Wall Street, now hiding in a janitor's
00:54:35closet mopping her floors? Why are you hiding from her, Caleb? Don't tell her. You spent
00:54:4120 years of your life for this just to be a janitor? Just let her think I'm still in
00:54:49Manhattan, living the high life of Serena. Don't tell her. Look at me now, Elliot. I'll only sicken her like
00:54:58this.
00:55:31Remember this delusion.
00:55:39Who wrote this? The deduction is flawless. I'm a coward. What? Forget it. We'll redo it with our own data.
00:56:08Mrs. Bennett, this is everything left in Mr. Thorne's name. He signed over full control of all of it to
00:56:14you.
00:56:15Everything left? The once king of Wall Street is playing the pity card with this cheap trick now?
00:56:20Sirs, his health is in terrible shape. He only hopes you'll accept this. It's all he has left to give
00:56:24you.
00:56:29Go back and tell him this. He can't buy my forgiveness with money. Never.
00:56:47Serena Huntington?
00:56:50Ella Bennett, 20 whole years. And you haven't aged a day. How the hell is that fair?
00:56:58What happened to the Huntington family princess? Didn't Caleb get you a good stylist?
00:57:05Caleb? You actually thought he married me? Let go of me. You're drunk.
00:57:09The second you stepped into that cryopod, that lunatic tore up the engagement in front of everyone.
00:57:15He burned every bridge with the Huntington family.
00:57:18He sold off every core share of Thornt Global, even mortgaged the Hampton estate.
00:57:22Poured every last cent into that goddamned cryo project.
00:57:25He went bankrupt, ended up half paralyzed, turned into a no-build dog just to keep your vitals going.
00:57:30What are you so proud of, Ella? You think you ever paid him back?
00:57:34Caleb?
00:57:51Mr. Thorne.
00:57:56Mr. Thorne, Ella's attachment to you has gone far beyond normal bounds.
00:58:00This is a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome.
00:58:03I gave her the best of everything Manhattan has to offer.
00:58:06But you have also stripped her of the chance to grow as an independent person.
00:58:09If you do not push her away, cut off this toxic dynamic, she will never be anything more than your
00:58:13accessories.
00:58:14You have to be the villain. You have to shatter every last fantasy she has about you.
00:58:26So that is what this was.
00:58:37That engagement was just a business deal between me and Caleb.
00:58:41He bailed my family out of financial ruin, and I helped him break your heart for good.
00:58:46That peanut butter salad wasn't Caleb's doing.
00:58:49It was all a mistake.
00:59:05Open the archives.
00:59:07Now!
00:59:08You'll regret seeing this, Ella.
00:59:10I said open it!
00:59:11I want to see everything Caleb left behind.
00:59:12All of it!
00:59:24It's not possible.
00:59:26They were all supposed to be gone.
00:59:30Stop it!
00:59:32Open!
00:59:34God damn it!
00:59:36Open!
00:59:39She can't die!
00:59:54Why?
00:59:55Why didn't you let me die 20 years ago?
01:00:04Why did you take away my right to even hate you?
01:00:09I can't do this.
01:00:12I can't do this.
01:00:16Hello?
01:00:26What is this?
01:00:29Trust fund beneficiary change?
01:00:32Manhattan deed?
01:00:3520 years.
01:00:38But that's the day I woke up.
01:00:42Today's my 24th birthday.
01:00:44I got the faculty offer from Fair Kitsch.
01:00:48You said once I had it, you'd consider us.
01:00:52I spent millions raising you.
01:00:54And this is how you repay me?
01:00:55With this filthy little scheme?
01:00:57I just love you, Caleb.
01:00:59Love?
01:01:00You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around.
01:01:02You read a few books,
01:01:03and you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
01:01:11You think these worthless pieces of paper
01:01:14can make up
01:01:16for what you did to me?
01:01:30No.
01:01:32This isn't real.
01:01:38I'll wake you up.
01:01:40I swear I will.
01:01:46I'm sorry, Ella.
01:01:48I spent the gift money on a backup power supply for your pod.
01:01:51Short 3K for maintenance today.
01:01:54Sold the watch.
01:01:55You idiot!
01:01:56You think giving me everything will make me forgive you?
01:02:02Hide well, Daddy.
01:02:04I'm coming for you.
01:02:09Ms. Bennett, sign here.
01:02:12And the experimental base Mr. Thocker owns
01:02:15will be legally transferred to you.
01:02:23Congratulations, Ms. Bennett.
01:02:25You are now the youngest tycoon in New York.
01:02:34Mrs. Bennett, Mr. Thorn told me not to say anything, but I have to.
01:02:38He did not leave because he wanted to.
01:02:40He just, he did not know how to face you, 24 and perfect,
01:02:44with his broken, old, paralyzed body.
01:02:52Genius astrophysist Ella Bennett, who was frozen for 20 years,
01:02:56has announced her return to the public eye.
01:02:58Wall Street sources say she has inherited a mysterious fortune,
01:03:02making her New York Sueist financial palichore.
01:03:04Food is here.
01:03:05Just soup today.
01:03:09Ella Bennett.
01:03:29This is all Daddy has left to give you.
01:03:37Fly free, Kitty.
01:03:39Don't let these rotting bones
01:03:42sully your eyes.
01:03:50It is right here, ma'am.
01:03:52Get lost.
01:04:03Who told you to come here?
01:04:05Get out!
01:04:14Go away.
01:04:17Don't look.
01:04:20Stop it.
01:04:22Where did you think you'd run to, Caleb?
01:04:24You spent 20 years and every last cent to trap me in this body.
01:04:28Now you think you can just walk away?
01:04:30I have nothing left.
01:04:34You still have your life.
01:04:37You're crazy.
01:04:39You've lost your mind.
01:04:45You don't get to die without my permission.
01:04:49Get Mr. Thorne in the car.
01:04:51Gentle.
01:04:52Don't hurt his legs.
01:04:54Ella Bennett.
01:04:55You can't do this.
01:04:59Don't be scared, Daddy.
01:05:01From today on, I'm the one taking care of you.
01:05:14What the hell is this?
01:05:15You're awake.
01:05:19Get that off.
01:05:21I don't need it.
01:05:29Don't bother fighting it.
01:05:31From now on, I decide everything about you.
01:05:40Ella.
01:05:41Look at me.
01:05:43You don't get to look away in this room.
01:05:47What are you hiding from?
01:05:50No.
01:05:51You can't handle this already?
01:05:54I...
01:05:57Eyes closed.
01:06:01What are you...
01:06:03You didn't actually think I wanted your old broken body, did you, Caleb?
01:06:09Don't touch me.
01:06:11Don't touch me.
01:06:24No.
01:06:34Hello, Caleb.
01:06:35Get out.
01:06:37Should I call the nurse in?
01:06:38No.
01:06:39Wait for me outside.
01:06:41Got it.
01:06:46What are you throwing a fit about?
01:06:49Why did you bring him here?
01:06:52I'm not even dead yet.
01:06:53And you're already rushing to bring another man into our...
01:06:57Home!
01:07:01Are you jealous?
01:07:03I'm not.
01:07:04Be with whoever you want.
01:07:06I don't care.
01:07:12Elliot's staying the night.
01:07:13Remember what you said.
01:07:15And keep quiet.
01:07:33No.
01:07:34She is mine.
01:07:35And mine alone!
01:07:43What?
01:07:44What?
01:07:45I know I am a sinner.
01:07:47All those years ago, I used my power and my money to lure that innocent girl in.
01:07:52I ruined her.
01:07:56But...
01:07:56I cannot bring myself to wish her happiness.
01:08:00I cannot stand to watch her walk away to another man.
01:08:04I want to drag her back into this dark room with me.
01:08:07Even if I am nothing but a broken old man now.
01:08:14Come back.
01:08:21Was that convincing enough for you?
01:08:24Perfect.
01:08:25He is probably losing his mind in there right now.
01:08:31You know he does not have much time left.
01:08:34Why are you torturing him like this?
01:08:36Because torture is the only way he ever taught me to show love.
01:08:40Only when he lets go of that stubborn pride of his can we ever have anything real between us.
01:08:50Mr. Thorne, these are the medical decision-making power and full guardianship documents.
01:08:55Once you sign, every second of the rest of your life, even the right to live or die, will belong
01:09:02to Mrs. Bennet.
01:09:03I'm all yours now.
01:09:05Do whatever you want to get your revenge.
01:09:07I'll take it all.
01:09:09Everyone out.
01:09:20If only you'd surrendered sooner, Daddy.
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:26I surrender.
01:09:33Look, it's the same view we had from the penthouse over Central Park.
01:09:37Time stood still there, just like the 20 years I waited for you.
01:09:55What are you looking at?
01:09:57Daddy, I'm looking at Manhattan.
01:09:59It's so bright at night.
01:10:03Every light in Manhattan will shine for you, baby girl.
01:10:18When Elik looks at you, I want him gone.
01:10:21You can't even stand up on your own.
01:10:24How are you going to make him disappear?
01:10:26I know this body's failing me, but when I see him touch you, it feels like there's a fire burning
01:10:35in my chest.
01:10:38I'm jealous of every man that gets to hold you.
01:10:42Hell, I'm even jealous of the wind outside, because it gets to touch you.
01:10:47So tell me now.
01:10:49Was it worth it?
01:10:51Trading 20 years of your life, and every last cent you had to wake me up?
01:10:56Worth it.
01:10:57I told you, no one takes you from me without my permission.
01:11:05It's still beating.
01:11:08Every beat is a reminder that you're a sinner.
01:11:11Then let this sinner rot in your hell for eternity.
01:11:16Even when it stops beating, you don't get to run.
01:11:20Your ashes are going to sit on my nightstand.
01:11:24You owe me a debt, and you're going to pay it with your soul.
01:11:29You owe me a debt, and you're going to pay it with your soul.
01:11:31My life, my soul, it's all yours.
01:11:50Are you cold?
01:11:52No.
01:11:59You shouldn't have brought me here.
01:12:02Everyone's staring at you carrying a paralyzed old man.
01:12:05Then let them stare.
01:12:07Let them see.
01:12:09When you were 12, I brought you here.
01:12:12You stared at the cotton candy stand for ages.
01:12:15You bought the whole cart, but wouldn't let me have a single bite.
01:12:19I've always been a controlling bastard.
01:12:23It's too late to admit that now.
01:12:30What did the doctor say to you?
01:12:32Why'd you bring me out here today?
01:12:34The doctor said your vitals are stable.
01:12:37Okay, I'll listen to you always.
01:12:40Back then, I always walked ahead, handling business.
01:12:43And I always followed three steps behind you.
01:12:46You don't have to chase my shadow anymore.
01:12:50We're not going anywhere, Caleb.
01:12:58On your 18th birthday, you talked back to me.
01:13:01So I locked you in the penthouse for three days.
01:13:03After that, I sent my assistant here to pick out the biggest pink diamond they had for you.
01:13:08You always tried to shut me up with checks and jewelry.
01:13:11Bought my silence with money.
01:13:13Back then, I didn't know how to keep you.
01:13:17All I knew how to do was the stupidest, most hurtful thing possible.
01:13:22Wait here for me.
01:13:32Ella, get up.
01:13:33Ella, what are you doing?
01:13:35Get up.
01:13:36I'm a broken old man.
01:13:39I can't give you a future.
01:13:41Once you locked me up with your money, now I'm locking your soul up with this ring.
01:13:49You owe me 20 years.
01:13:51You can never pay it back in this lifetime.
01:13:54This ring is a mark.
01:13:56Even when you die, your soul is mine.
01:14:03Caleb, you're my only home.
01:14:13Mr. Thorne, this is the subatomic Decian authorization you requested.
01:14:17Once activated, your remains will be converted into energy particles of specific wavelength,
01:14:21dispersed into the universe.
01:14:34Ella, I'm here.
01:14:36I'm here.
01:14:37The doctor said hearing is the last sense to go when you die.
01:14:41I'll keep talking to you right here until you can't hear me anymore.
01:14:51I trapped you here, and now I'm running away first.
01:14:59You signed the papers.
01:15:00You can't run away.
01:15:04I'm going to become a wavelength now.
01:15:07So when the wind blows, when the snow falls, when you look up at the night sky,
01:15:11that'll be me watching over you.
01:15:15You'll always be with me.
01:15:16No matter what form you take, you'll always be mine.
01:15:18I love you.
01:15:20Caleb loves Ella.
01:15:44May he rest in peace.
01:15:46Goodbye, Caleb.
01:15:48We'll miss you.
01:15:51I love you.
01:15:57Ms. Bennett, the funeral's over.
01:15:59The press is all outside,
01:16:01and the Thorne Global Board is expecting you to show up soon to stabilize the stock price.
01:16:06Let them wait.
01:16:08Your clothes are soaked through.
01:16:09Before he passed, Mr. Thorne told me to take care of you, no matter what.
01:16:14He's dead.
01:16:16You don't have to follow his orders anymore.
01:16:20But...
01:16:21Take the umbrella and leave.
01:16:32You think dying means I can't find you anymore?
01:16:59I can't believe it.
01:17:01How did you...
01:17:28How did you...
01:17:31I could be locked up in a penthouse in Manhattan, a pet that only survived by clinging to me?
01:17:35If pushing you away was the only way to save you, I would be the devil a thousand times over.
01:17:45Go finish the work your parents started.
01:17:48Go finish the work your parents started.
01:17:49That is where your soul belongs.
01:17:51Do not look back.
01:17:53I will be with you back.
01:17:55I will be with you always, in the subatomic particles, forever by your side.
01:18:01The letter was written in code, a language only the two of them could understand.
01:18:05It was a desperate plea for help, a last ditch effort to save the woman he loved.
01:18:13I just...
01:18:15I can't do this alone.
01:18:28This is your fourth all-nighter in a row.
01:18:30I've put all of Caleb's secret funding and unpublished patents up as collateral for this project.
01:18:34The money's burning fast.
01:18:36We need results before the board stages of co.
01:18:37The subatomic noise data collected over those 20 years in Krypta is massive.
01:18:41Reverse engineering the logical flaws in the explosion 16 years ago is going to take a long time to compute.
01:18:45We keep missing 0.02% on the critical value for the high-energy particle stabilization experiment.
01:18:51That's the exact same number my parents got stuck on 16 years ago.
01:18:54There's a flaw in the base logic.
01:18:56Go sleep in the lounge for two hours.
01:18:58I'll watch the data.
01:19:00No.
01:19:01This is my work.
01:19:03You go cross-check the fluctuation frequency on the B-group perimeter.
01:19:06I'll build the core model.
01:19:08Got it.
01:19:08Call me if anything comes up.
01:19:23My god.
01:19:25Project Lazarus.
01:19:27It's happening.
01:19:34You look I'm gonna did to say it.
01:19:36It were not due for Angini and Sol's his just to have a the commander.
01:19:40Enough, Ella.
01:19:42Look at yourself.
01:19:43Are you trying to avenge your parents or join them in death?
01:19:53I am not trying to die.
01:19:55I found something.
01:19:59This is a reconstruction of the final 10 seconds of my parents' experiment 16 years ago.
01:20:05Someone manually implanted a catastrophic code into the base system, which caused the explosion.
01:20:12So this was not a scientific accident.
01:20:14It was murder?
01:20:15It was.
01:20:17Did Mr. Thorne, did he know about this?
01:20:22If he was the mastermind, he never would have saved me.
01:20:25But he definitely knew something.
01:20:27Where are you going?
01:20:29To find the truth.
01:20:38Physical restoration is complete.
01:20:41This is the last communication record pulled from the wreckage of the backup server from 16 years ago.
01:20:46Play it.
01:20:47If they won't sell the tech, then we make it disappear with the genius couple.
01:20:52Clean it up.
01:20:53No loose ends.
01:20:56So that's what happened.
01:20:58What?
01:20:59What?
01:20:59All these years, Caleb thought it was a flaw in his lab system that killed my parents indirectly.
01:21:06Arthur didn't just kill my parents.
01:21:08He used it to make Caleb live with guilt for the rest of his life.
01:21:11Oh my God, that's it.
01:21:15I'm not letting him get away with this.
01:21:21You're moving in for the takedown?
01:21:23Yeah.
01:21:24I'm going to make him pay back every cent of this 40-year blood debt with interest.
01:21:29Seal all the original evidence and code.
01:21:33Max out the encryption level.
01:21:42Today, on behalf of Thornt Industries, I am proud to unveil this groundbreaking particle stabilization technology to the world.
01:21:54Before you steal someone's life's work, Mr. Sterling, shouldn't you check if the rightful heir is still alive?
01:21:59Security, get her out of here.
01:22:03If they won't sell the tech, then we make it disappear with the genius couple.
01:22:07Clean it up.
01:22:08No loose ends.
01:22:09Sixteen years ago, you hacked into my parents' lab, stole their algorithm, and implanted a catastrophic code into the base
01:22:17system.
01:22:18You locked the backup cooling valves, causing that irreversible explosion.
01:22:23Ridiculous!
01:22:23A fake simulation and a docked audio clip won't convict me!
01:22:27The encrypted transfer pads for your stolen data, the offshore account flows for your stock shortage.
01:22:32Federal prosecutors already have all of it.
01:22:40You think taking me down will bring Thorne Global back from the dead?
01:22:50Arthur Sterling, everything you lost today is just the interest.
01:23:06It's over, Ella.
01:23:12Let's go.
01:23:21The Thorne Global Board voted unanimously.
01:23:24The Caleb Thorne Research Fund, named after Mr. Thorne, will officially launch tomorrow.
01:23:28The Science and Technology Museum has cleared the central exhibition hall.
01:23:45For Caleb, who saw the beauty in the broken.
01:23:49And for us, who are finally ready to remember.
01:24:01Arthur's been transferred to a maximum security prison, no bail.
01:24:04Thorne Global's stock is up five points today.
01:24:10Everything's back on track now.
01:24:12Ella, it's time for you to start your life over.
01:24:13This is my life now.
01:24:15You know what I mean.
01:24:17Ella, Caleb's gone.
01:24:19He's subatomic particles in the universe now.
01:24:21If you'll let me...
01:24:22As long as his wavelength is still out there, he's not gone.
01:24:41Ella, put your coat on.
01:24:47Your health belongs to me.
01:24:49Don't catch a cold.
01:24:50I'm not cold anymore, Daddy.
01:24:53Once you locked me in that penthouse, controlling me with your love.
01:24:59This time, I'm the one locking you up in my signal.
01:25:09He kept transmitting this frequency into deep space for the entire 20 years I was frozen.
01:25:16Trying to find a singularity in the universe.
01:25:20To fold time back on itself.
01:25:26Daddy, what are you looking at?
01:25:30At time.
01:25:31If time could be folded, so many things could be undone.
01:25:48Caleb, what exactly did you want me to hear?
01:25:53Is the agreement ready?
01:25:55Mr. Thorne, once you sign this, she will be entirely in your custody.
01:25:59But if you do this, she will hate you for the rest of her life.
01:26:03She has to hate me.
01:26:05Only if she hates me will she stay far away from the experiment my parents worked on.
01:26:09I can't let Arthur kill her too.
01:26:12Lock her up.
01:26:14Even if she thinks I'm a monster, at least she'll be alive.
01:26:26I heard you, Caleb.
01:26:37System, disengage the biosecurity lock.
01:26:40Force sync my consciousness frequency to the subatomic target.
01:26:43Warning, force synchronization will result in brain death.
01:26:48Do you wish to proceed?
01:26:51Proceed.
01:26:58Daddy.
01:27:04Daddy, don't go.
01:27:08I'm not going anywhere.
01:27:20Caleb, I'm coming for you.
01:27:23I'm coming for you.
01:27:25I'm coming for you.
01:27:27I'm coming for you.
01:27:32There's nothing I fear.
01:27:36And I know that I'm...
01:27:39I'm coming for you.
