Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My daughter Effie died of acute pneumonia.
00:00:05I called my husband Grayson frantically, but he never answered.
00:00:14On her funeral day, he stayed with Belle and their illegitimate son.
00:00:18I returned to the empty house and stood by my daughter's toys, filled with guilt and despair.
00:00:25Baby, I'm sorry. Mommy failed to protect you.
00:00:30I hope you will be safe, happy, and truly loved in your next life.
00:00:34Mommy is coming to join you. We will never be apart again.
00:00:38I swallowed sleeping pills and woke up reborn at Effie's birthday party.
00:00:43She was alive.
00:00:48A banquet waiter stepped forward and reminded me to start the cake-cutting ceremony.
00:00:52Mrs. Lancaster, it's time to cut the cake.
00:00:57I looked at my living daughter and rushed over to hold her.
00:01:04Effie! My baby! You're alive! You're really alive!
00:01:12Mommy will never let anything happen to you again. Never.
00:01:20Grayson's face turned dark. He rushed over and grabbed my arm.
00:01:25Isolette, what are you doing? Let her go! There are people watching!
00:01:32Let go of me! Don't touch me! Don't you dare touch my daughter!
00:01:39I shook Grayson off hard. He staggered back, angry and shocked, having never seen me resist like this.
00:01:47You're drunk! What on earth are you doing?
00:01:50I ignored him and walked straight onto the stage to pick up the microphone.
00:01:56I will no longer be the lady of the Lancaster house.
00:02:01Belle knows Caden best, because she is his mother.
00:02:05The crowd erupted in an uproar. Belle turned pale, and Grayson froze completely.
00:02:12I put down the microphone,
00:02:18took Effie's hand, and walked toward the gate.
00:02:23Security! Stop them! Don't let them leave!
00:02:34Two strong security guards blocked the door.
00:02:37I awakened my fighting instinct,
00:02:40and took one down instantly.
00:02:45When did you learn this?
00:02:46How much are you hiding from me?
00:02:49You never knew the real me.
00:02:51I pushed open the heavy gate,
00:02:52and took Effie out of the cage that had imprisoned me for five years.
00:02:56Isoled!
00:02:57You will pay for this!
00:02:59Grayson chased into the marble lobby.
00:03:01You humiliated me in public!
00:03:02Go back and apologize, now!
00:03:06I held up the diamond ring on my left hand,
00:03:09the chain he used to imprison me.
00:03:12I'll raise your allowance.
00:03:13Stop this and come home.
00:03:14I twisted off the ring and slammed it hard onto the floor.
00:03:18I want a divorce.
00:03:20Forgot the pre-module agreement?
00:03:22You'll have nothing after divorce!
00:03:25I don't want your money, house, or cars.
00:03:28I only want Effie.
00:03:29Belle hurried over, pretending to be gentle and persuading me not to be impulsive.
00:03:33Isoled! Don't be rash!
00:03:35Grayson and I are just friends!
00:03:42Grayson is yours.
00:03:43No returns.
00:03:46Grayson flew into a rage and froze all my credit cards.
00:03:49I called a ride and left.
00:03:58Mommy, where are we going?
00:04:05A real adventure begins now.
00:04:14I took Effie into a ride-hailing car,
00:04:17away from the mansion,
00:04:18towards our own freedom.
00:04:25I used emergency cash hidden for five years.
00:04:28Checked her into a budget hotel,
00:04:31leaving no trace.
00:04:34Effie, rest quietly first.
00:04:37Mommy has things to handle.
00:04:40Mommy?
00:04:41There's no daddy here, right?
00:04:44Yes.
00:04:45Only us here.
00:04:48It's safe.
00:04:51Late at night, I logged into my email with a disposable phone.
00:04:55The account was Valkyrie, X7, full of top institute invitations.
00:05:00From today, Isolet is dead.
00:05:03Only Valkyrie lives.
00:05:05Arland Roth, CEO of Roth Airlines,
00:05:08contacted me through a secret channel.
00:05:12Isolet, I know you are Valkyrie.
00:05:15How do you know that name?
00:05:18I need your skills.
00:05:20Your design was stolen by them.
00:05:31I've retired for five years.
00:05:33I don't want to touch engineering again.
00:05:36Phoenix X7 is your prototype.
00:05:39They'll launch it next month.
00:05:42I woke up startled in the hotel early
00:05:44and only calmed down completely
00:05:47when I saw Effie sleeping peacefully.
00:05:50My old phone rang suddenly.
00:05:53Maria, the family maid,
00:05:55begged me anxiously to go back
00:05:57and take care of Kayden.
00:05:58Please come back.
00:06:00Kayden only eats the porridge you make.
00:06:02I am not a maid,
00:06:03not a nanny,
00:06:04and not Mrs. Lancaster.
00:06:06Don't call this number again.
00:06:15Mommy, look at the rocket I drew.
00:06:24Make the angle sharper
00:06:26to break through air resistance.
00:06:33Mommy, I fixed it.
00:06:35I looked at the drawing
00:06:36precisely corrected by my daughter,
00:06:38filled with shock and admiration.
00:06:42Oh...
00:06:44My baby!
00:06:46You're a born genius!
00:06:48Far better than I ever imagined!
00:06:50We're going to a new school
00:06:52that sees your light!
00:06:54Mommy,
00:06:55are you really never going back
00:06:56to that cold house?
00:06:59Never again.
00:07:00From now on,
00:07:01it's just us,
00:07:02safe and free.
00:07:10On the way to send Effie to school,
00:07:12I bumped into a man,
00:07:14and engineering drawings scattered
00:07:16all over the ground.
00:07:22The compression ratio is wrong.
00:07:24It will stall at 30,000 feet
00:07:26and can never fly.
00:07:28Arland froze sharply
00:07:30and recognized me at once
00:07:31as the legendary engineer
00:07:33who had disappeared five years ago.
00:07:35Isselton?
00:07:36It's really you.
00:07:38Arland Roth.
00:07:39You're still here!
00:07:41You can fix my engine!
00:07:42I've been in hiding for five years.
00:07:45Come with me.
00:07:46Prove you're still the genius
00:07:47who shocked the industry.
00:07:48Why do you think
00:07:49I'd drop everything to help you?
00:07:51I turned to leave,
00:07:52but Arland held my wrist firmly,
00:07:54sincere.
00:07:56I beg you.
00:07:59This is my company's last hope.
00:08:02I need absolute privacy.
00:08:06It can't affect my daughter.
00:08:10I promise you,
00:08:11all terms are up to you.
00:08:13I updated my encrypted portfolio
00:08:15under the alias Sophia,
00:08:17gradually taking back
00:08:18my professional status.
00:08:19The school nurse called suddenly,
00:08:21anxiously telling me
00:08:22Caden collapsed from a high fever
00:08:24and kept calling for me.
00:08:25Caden is in critical condition,
00:08:27calling for you.
00:08:28We can't reach Grayson.
00:08:29Contact his biological parents.
00:08:31Call 911 in an emergency.
00:08:32Don't call me again.
00:08:34Mommy, who was that?
00:08:37Wrong number.
00:08:43Grayson rushed to the hospital.
00:08:46Caden woke up
00:08:47asking for my soup first thing.
00:08:50Isolette, where the hell are you?
00:08:52Come back now!
00:08:54I blocked all numbers,
00:08:55completely cutting off contact
00:08:57with the Lancaster family.
00:08:59I blocked all numbers,
00:09:04Mommy, we don't have to see them anymore.
00:09:09As long as you don't want to,
00:09:11we'll never see them.
00:09:15I looked at the drawing,
00:09:17picked up a pen,
00:09:18and fixed all flaws in the engine
00:09:21in five minutes,
00:09:22saving millions and six months.
00:09:26Next month at the air show,
00:09:28Belle is releasing Phoenix X7?
00:09:32Yes.
00:09:34It's your original design
00:09:35that was stolen years ago.
00:09:39She stole my husband,
00:09:41and now they want to steal
00:09:42my designs and dreams!
00:09:45Join me.
00:09:46I'll help you crush them.
00:09:49I'm in.
00:09:50You really want to fight
00:09:51the entire Lancaster family?
00:09:53My eyes were cold.
00:09:55I would get back everything
00:09:56Grayson and Belle
00:09:57had snatched away from me.
00:10:00I hire you as
00:10:01senior project director,
00:10:03hidden identity,
00:10:04high salary,
00:10:04confidential.
00:10:05I'll prepare the contract
00:10:07right away.
00:10:07It can take an effect
00:10:08tomorrow.
00:10:10The sooner the better.
00:10:12I don't have time
00:10:13for them to react.
00:10:15Late at night,
00:10:17Effie's cries woke me up.
00:10:18She had a 104.2
00:10:21Fahrenheit high fever,
00:10:22the fatal illness
00:10:23from my past life.
00:10:24Effie!
00:10:25Hold on!
00:10:26I had no money
00:10:27and no fever medicine.
00:10:29I had no choice
00:10:30but to call Grayson.
00:10:35Grayson,
00:10:36please answer the phone.
00:10:38Effie is dying!
00:10:40He hung up again and again.
00:10:42The number you dialed
00:10:44is currently switched off.
00:10:45Then turned off his phone,
00:10:46ignoring his daughter's life.
00:10:48I picked up Effie
00:10:49and rushed to stop a car.
00:10:51Rushing to the hospital
00:10:52with my last bit of cash.
00:10:58Driver!
00:10:59Mount Selalai Hospital!
00:11:01Please!
00:11:01Hurry!
00:11:02I changed husband
00:11:03and my contacts
00:11:04to one cold word,
00:11:05target.
00:11:07Arland rushed to help
00:11:08immediately after hearing
00:11:09the noise.
00:11:13Don't worry.
00:11:14I've arraigned the best doctors
00:11:16in the hospital
00:11:16to save her.
00:11:18I waited outside
00:11:19the emergency room
00:11:20all night without sleep.
00:11:22I refused to
00:11:23loo my daughter again.
00:11:25I'll cover all costs.
00:11:27Just stay with her.
00:11:34Thank you, Arland.
00:11:35And I will repay this kindness.
00:11:41Effie finally survived
00:11:43and was transferred.
00:11:45Another half hour
00:11:46and we really couldn't save her.
00:11:50I ran into Grayson
00:11:52gently feeding
00:11:52Caden porridge
00:11:53in the corridor.
00:11:58I sneered.
00:12:00He had ignored
00:12:01his own daughter's
00:12:02critical condition.
00:12:07What are you doing here?
00:12:09Haven't you caused
00:12:10enough trouble?
00:12:11This isn't your place
00:12:12to act up.
00:12:13Exactly.
00:12:14Caden needs peace.
00:12:16Don't come here
00:12:17with bad luck.
00:12:21Bad luck
00:12:22while my daughter
00:12:23was dying
00:12:24in the ER.
00:12:25You were enjoying
00:12:26yourselves.
00:12:29Effie is in
00:12:30Ward 402.
00:12:32Acute respiratory
00:12:33failure.
00:12:34She nearly died
00:12:35in a taxi
00:12:36last night.
00:12:40You.
00:12:41Why didn't you
00:12:42tell me earlier?
00:12:44I called
00:12:45countless times.
00:12:47You hung up.
00:12:48Turned off
00:12:48your phone.
00:12:55Stayed with your
00:12:56mistress and
00:12:56bastard's son.
00:13:00You don't deserve
00:13:02to be her father.
00:13:09I know I was wrong.
00:13:11Please let me
00:13:12see her once.
00:13:19Grayson finally
00:13:20panicked and
00:13:21wanted to see
00:13:21Effie.
00:13:23We stopped him
00:13:23holdly.
00:13:26You don't deserve
00:13:27to be a father.
00:13:29Isolette!
00:13:29Haven't you
00:13:30caused enough
00:13:31trouble?
00:13:32Caden still
00:13:33has a fever.
00:13:36Shut up.
00:13:38If you dare
00:13:39come near
00:13:39Effie again,
00:13:40I'll destroy
00:13:41everything you have.
00:13:43I mean
00:13:44every word.
00:13:46Belle turned
00:13:47pale,
00:13:48grabbed Grayson
00:13:48and left.
00:13:50I turned
00:13:51and walked
00:13:51into the ward.
00:13:55Effie was
00:13:56already awake,
00:13:57staring blankly
00:13:58at the ceiling.
00:13:59Mommy,
00:14:00did I do
00:14:01something wrong?
00:14:02Daddy only
00:14:03likes Caden.
00:14:07it's not your fault.
00:14:09Daddy just doesn't
00:14:10know how to
00:14:11cherish you.
00:14:13Caden said
00:14:13I'm illegitimate.
00:14:15A mistake.
00:14:19Whoever taught him
00:14:21those words
00:14:21is the mistake.
00:14:23You are a miracle.
00:14:26The nurse said
00:14:27time was up.
00:14:29I stepped out
00:14:30and texted
00:14:31Arlen.
00:14:32Send me
00:14:33Skyline
00:14:33specs.
00:14:34I'll destroy
00:14:35them.
00:14:38Welcome back,
00:14:40Valkyrie.
00:14:47Two days later,
00:14:49Effie was
00:14:49discharged.
00:14:52I drove her
00:14:53back to the
00:14:53penthouse for
00:14:54her things.
00:14:55I chose
00:14:56Saturday morning
00:14:57when Grayson
00:14:57usually took
00:14:58Caden golfing.
00:15:05But when I
00:15:06walked in,
00:15:07they were all
00:15:08in the living
00:15:08room.
00:15:10Caden was
00:15:11flying a
00:15:12remote-controlled
00:15:13plane.
00:15:16The illegitimate
00:15:18kid is back!
00:15:19Here for
00:15:19things.
00:15:21Effie,
00:15:21go pack.
00:15:22Just as
00:15:23Effie headed
00:15:23to the hallway,
00:15:24Caden shouted,
00:15:25Target practice!
00:15:26and shoved
00:15:27the controller.
00:15:28Target practice!
00:15:31The plane
00:15:32hit Effie's
00:15:33calf.
00:15:34Blood poured
00:15:35out.
00:15:35Hit the
00:15:36target!
00:15:37I went
00:15:38mad.
00:15:39I stomped
00:15:40on the
00:15:40plane and
00:15:43smashed it
00:15:44against the
00:15:44wall.
00:15:50You're
00:15:51crazy!
00:15:52That's
00:15:52$2,000!
00:15:57Your
00:15:57daughter is
00:15:58bleeding
00:15:58bleeding
00:15:59and you
00:15:59only care
00:15:59about a
00:16:00toy?
00:16:00Get out
00:16:00of here!
00:16:02I will
00:16:03leave.
00:16:06But if you
00:16:07ever let
00:16:07her get
00:16:09hurt again,
00:16:10I won't
00:16:11stop at
00:16:11toys.
00:16:16This is
00:16:17violence!
00:16:18I'm calling
00:16:18the police!
00:16:22go ahead.
00:16:24Let the
00:16:24police see
00:16:25your son
00:16:25used a
00:16:26weapon
00:16:26to hurt
00:16:26someone.
00:16:28Grayson
00:16:29charged over
00:16:30furiously,
00:16:31only caring
00:16:31about his
00:16:31son's toy.
00:16:33crouched
00:16:33in front
00:16:33of
00:16:34Caden
00:16:34and grabbed
00:16:35his wrist
00:16:35tightly.
00:16:37If you
00:16:37ever touch
00:16:38Effie
00:16:38again,
00:16:39I will
00:16:40smash
00:16:40every toy
00:16:41you have.
00:16:42And
00:16:42then...
00:16:44And I
00:16:45will come
00:16:45for you.
00:16:51I tore
00:16:52my skirt
00:16:53to
00:16:53bandage
00:16:53Effie.
00:16:55Picked
00:16:56her up
00:16:56and left.
00:16:58The elevator
00:16:59doors closed
00:16:59slowly.
00:17:03I drove
00:17:04straight to
00:17:04Long Island.
00:17:10My
00:17:10mother
00:17:11Ellen
00:17:11opened

00:18:29check and
00:18:30pushed it

00:18:51I

00:18:52suit,
00:18:53but my
00:18:53presence
00:18:54was
00:18:54commanding.
00:18:58Grayson
00:18:59is not
00:18:59in.
00:19:01I'm not
00:19:02here for
00:19:02him.
00:19:02I pressed
00:19:03the HR
00:19:03floor.
00:19:11The
00:19:12manager
00:19:12made me
00:19:13wait
00:19:1320
00:19:13minutes.

00:19:17charity
00:19:18board
00:19:18positions.
00:19:20These
00:19:20are just
00:19:21honorary
00:19:21positions.
00:19:22That's
00:19:23why I'm
00:19:23resigning.
00:19:24I'm
00:19:25tired of
00:19:26being his
00:19:26accessory.
00:19:28I walked
00:19:29out with
00:19:30the papers,
00:19:30passing the
00:19:31main conference
00:19:32room.
00:19:36Grayson and
00:19:37Belle were
00:19:38accepting
00:19:38compliments.
00:19:41I took
00:19:42off my
00:19:43visitor badge
00:19:43trash and
00:19:44tossed it
00:19:45into the
00:19:45trash right
00:19:46in front
00:19:46of him.
00:19:47Bye-bye.
00:19:48Smile while
00:19:49you can.
00:19:50It won't
00:19:51last.
00:19:52At 9pm,
00:19:54Grayson
00:19:54returned to
00:19:54the penthouse.
00:19:56Pitch

00:20:03Where is
00:20:04everyone?
00:20:04Where did
00:20:05they all
00:20:05go?
00:20:06He turned
00:20:06on the
00:20:07light.
00:20:07The living
00:20:08room was
00:20:08empty.
00:20:09He rushed
00:20:09into the
00:20:10master
00:20:10bedroom.
00:20:12The bed
00:20:13was made
00:20:13perfectly.
00:20:15On his
00:20:16pillow lay
00:20:16a thick
00:20:17file folder.
00:20:18Next to
00:20:19it, the
00:20:19ring I had
00:20:20smashed on
00:20:20the foyer
00:20:21floor.
00:20:22What's

00:20:28Just custody
00:20:29of Effie?
00:20:30Is she
00:20:31insane?
00:20:36She must
00:20:37be bluffing.
00:20:38She won't
00:20:39last a
00:20:39week.
00:20:42Freeze all
00:20:43her cards.
00:20:44Let's see
00:20:44how she'll
00:20:44afford
00:20:44groceries.
00:20:46He opened
00:20:47his mobile
00:20:48banking and
00:20:48froze all
00:20:49my cards.
00:20:50You
00:20:50soleil,
00:20:50you'll
00:20:50come crawling
00:20:51back.
00:20:51With a
00:20:52child,
00:20:52where can
00:20:53you even
00:20:53go?
00:20:55You will
00:20:56definitely
00:20:56regret this.
00:20:57He didn't
00:20:57know.
00:20:58I was never
00:20:58coming back.
00:21:00The Jacob
00:21:00Convention
00:21:01Center was
00:21:02packed.
00:21:02The annual
00:21:03air show.
00:21:09I was
00:21:10here.
00:21:15Invitation
00:21:16only.
00:21:16No entry.
00:21:18I showed
00:21:19Roth Airlines
00:21:19VIP card.
00:21:21The guard
00:21:22immediately let
00:21:23me through.
00:21:24I took off
00:21:25my sunglasses
00:21:25and looked
00:21:26straight at
00:21:26the cameras.
00:21:32that's a
00:21:33fight.
00:21:38Security,
00:21:39throw her
00:21:40out!
00:21:41Ma'am, her
00:21:42access is full
00:21:42clearance.
00:21:43What?
00:21:45Impossible!
00:21:50What are
00:21:51you doing
00:21:51here?
00:21:54To cause
00:21:55trouble?
00:21:57I'm here
00:21:58to see what
00:21:58you've built.
00:22:01With the
00:22:02design you
00:22:03stole from
00:22:03me.
00:22:04This is
00:22:05Belle's
00:22:05work.
00:22:08Is that
00:22:09so?
00:22:10Then let's
00:22:11watch what
00:22:11she's got.
00:22:13The lights
00:22:13dimmed.
00:22:14The curtain
00:22:15opened.
00:22:20A forward
00:22:22swept wing
00:22:22drone appeared.
00:22:28That was
00:22:29my design
00:22:30drawn on
00:22:30a napkin
00:22:31five years
00:22:31ago.
00:22:32They didn't
00:22:33even change
00:22:34the screw
00:22:34position.
00:22:35I spent
00:22:36months refining
00:22:37this design.
00:22:38How did
00:22:38you solve
00:22:38the supersonic
00:22:39aeroclastic
00:22:40diversion
00:22:41problem?
00:22:48Belle froze,
00:22:49looked at
00:22:49Grayson,
00:22:50and had
00:22:50no answer.
00:22:57Trade
00:22:58secret.
00:22:59Can't
00:22:59disclose.
00:23:03She's lying.
00:23:04She doesn't
00:23:05understand a
00:23:06thing.
00:23:07They only
00:23:08stole the
00:23:09shape.
00:23:11Should we
00:23:12expose them?
00:23:13No.
00:23:14Let them
00:23:15fly it.
00:23:16Past Mach
00:23:171.2,
00:23:18the plane
00:23:18will break
00:23:19apart.
00:23:20Let it
00:23:21break apart
00:23:21in front of
00:23:22everyone.
00:23:32The
00:23:33presentation
00:23:33ended.
00:23:34Thunderous
00:23:35applause
00:23:35filled the
00:23:35hall.
00:23:36Belle bowed
00:23:37on stage.
00:23:38I stood
00:23:39up.
00:23:40I didn't
00:23:41clap.
00:23:42I just
00:23:43stared coldly
00:23:44at Grayson.
00:23:45You see?
00:23:46This is
00:23:47Belle's
00:23:47talent.
00:23:48Better
00:23:48than you.
00:23:50See
00:23:50what?
00:23:51She
00:23:51can't
00:23:51even
00:23:51explain
00:23:52her
00:23:52own
00:23:52design.
00:23:53You're
00:23:53just
00:23:54jealous.
00:23:55Jealous
00:23:55of a

00:24:05it.
00:24:05Are

00:24:08Not

00:24:14You're
00:24:15crazy.
00:24:15Remember
00:24:16my
00:24:16words.
00:24:27At
00:24:28the banquet,
00:24:29Kayden
00:24:29showed off
00:24:30the

00:24:52I
00:24:53stepped
00:24:53in front
00:24:54of
00:24:54Grayson.
00:24:57Effie
00:24:58didn't
00:24:58cry,
00:24:59but her
00:25:00eyes
00:25:00were
00:25:00red.
00:25:03move
00:25:03aside.
00:25:05Don't
00:25:05make a
00:25:06scene.
00:25:06Remember
00:25:07this
00:25:07moment.
00:25:08This is
00:25:08the last
00:25:09time your

00:40:13That's

00:40:16Turn off
00:40:17the screen.
00:40:18Turn it

00:40:19I

00:40:34Grayson stood
00:40:35up and stared
00:40:36intently in my
00:40:37direction.
00:40:37He recognized
00:40:39Effie.
00:40:39He recognized
00:40:40who this
00:40:41strange woman
00:40:41standing next
00:40:42to Effie
00:40:42was.
00:40:45It's
00:40:45you.
00:40:46It's
00:40:47actually
00:40:47you.
00:40:48I stood
00:40:48on the
00:40:48podium
00:40:49holding the
00:40:50gold
00:40:50trophy.
00:40:51Effie
00:40:51waved
00:40:52happily to
00:40:53the crowd
00:40:53beside me.
00:40:55The
00:40:55mask hid
00:40:56my face,
00:40:57but not
00:40:58the light
00:40:58on hers.
00:41:00How is
00:41:00this
00:41:00possible?
00:41:01How could
00:41:02she beat
00:41:03us?
00:41:10Sofia,
00:41:11please
00:41:11wait.
00:41:12What do
00:41:12you want?
00:41:13Skyline needs
00:41:14a talent
00:41:15like you.
00:41:16Triple salary,
00:41:17start Monday.
00:41:17Name your
00:41:18terms.
00:41:19I took the
00:41:19business card
00:41:20and glanced
00:41:21at it.
00:41:23I heard
00:41:24your procurement
00:41:24director doesn't
00:41:25even understand
00:41:26what sensor
00:41:27drift rate
00:41:27rate means.
00:41:29I'm not
00:41:29interested in a
00:41:30company like
00:41:31that.
00:41:31What did
00:41:32you say?
00:41:32Say that
00:41:33again!
00:41:41Darren,
00:41:42shut up.
00:41:43I took
00:41:44Effie's hand
00:41:45and walked
00:41:45past him.
00:41:46Effie looked
00:41:47back at him,
00:41:47then turned
00:41:48away and
00:41:48kept walking.
00:41:49There was
00:41:50nothing in her
00:41:51eyes, like
00:41:51looking at a
00:41:52stranger.
00:41:54Did you
00:41:55just give him
00:41:55another heart
00:41:56attack?
00:41:59Hold this
00:41:59for me.
00:42:00It's heavy.
00:42:04Of course
00:42:05a gold
00:42:05trophy is
00:42:06heavy.
00:42:06You deserve
00:42:07it.
00:42:07After the
00:42:08competition,
00:42:09Harper told
00:42:10me Grayson's
00:42:10lawyer wanted
00:42:11to meet to
00:42:11discuss asset
00:42:12division.
00:42:13He's been
00:42:14looking at
00:42:14the calendar
00:42:14all day.
00:42:15Your wedding
00:42:16anniversary is
00:42:17coming up.
00:42:17He wants to
00:42:18use that as a
00:42:19reason to
00:42:19pause the
00:42:19divorce.
00:42:21I was
00:42:21sitting in
00:42:22the conference
00:42:22room.
00:42:23The door
00:42:23opened and
00:42:24Grayson and
00:42:25his lawyer
00:42:25walked in.
00:42:26I know
00:42:27you hate
00:42:27me, but
00:42:28the past
00:42:29five years
00:42:29weren't fake.
00:42:31Effie needs
00:42:31a complete
00:42:32home.
00:42:35Do you
00:42:36want to
00:42:36know why
00:42:37I go by
00:42:37Sophia?
00:42:38Sophia is
00:42:39my real
00:42:40name.
00:42:40Isla Lancaster.
00:42:42You gave me
00:42:42that name.
00:42:44What do you
00:42:45mean?
00:42:45You took
00:42:46my name,
00:42:47my career,
00:42:48my dignity,
00:42:49piece by
00:42:50piece, and
00:42:52now you tell
00:42:52me you need
00:42:53a complete
00:42:53home?
00:42:56Isla,
00:42:58I...
00:43:01You're the
00:43:02one who
00:43:02tore apart
00:43:03that complete
00:43:03home, not
00:43:04me.
00:43:04Just as we
00:43:05reached an
00:43:05impasse,
00:43:06Belle burst
00:43:07into the
00:43:07law firm.
00:43:09Caden
00:43:10followed behind
00:43:11her, crying
00:43:12with snot all
00:43:12over his
00:43:13face.
00:43:14I want
00:43:15you to
00:43:15come back!
00:43:16I don't
00:43:17want her!
00:43:19I'm
00:43:20dizzy.
00:43:20I can't
00:43:21stand.
00:43:23My stomach
00:43:23hurts.
00:43:24It hurts
00:43:25so much.
00:43:27Grayson
00:43:28looked at
00:43:28Belle, then
00:43:29at me.
00:43:30His eyes
00:43:30wavered.
00:43:31For the
00:43:32first time, he
00:43:33actually looked
00:43:34uncertain.
00:43:35Let's talk
00:43:36another day.
00:43:39He chooses
00:43:40her every
00:43:41single time,
00:43:41every single
00:43:42time!
00:43:42I picked
00:43:43up the
00:43:43diamond ring
00:43:43on the
00:43:44table, the
00:43:45one he
00:43:46bought me
00:43:46when we
00:43:46got married.
00:43:48I set
00:43:49it down
00:43:49on the
00:43:49table.
00:43:50Please
00:43:50return this
00:43:51to him.
00:43:51Are you
00:43:52sure?
00:43:53This ring
00:43:54is worth
00:43:54$300,000.
00:43:56I don't
00:43:56need it
00:43:56anymore.
00:43:57Never
00:43:57again.
00:44:03Grayson
00:44:04eventually
00:44:04came back
00:44:05to the
00:44:05law firm
00:44:05alone.
00:44:06Only the
00:44:07two of
00:44:07us remained
00:44:08in the
00:44:08office.
00:44:12Sign
00:44:12this.
00:44:13You'll
00:44:13get the
00:44:14house,
00:44:14the
00:44:14trust fund,
00:44:15alimony.
00:44:16You won't
00:44:16have to
00:44:16worry about
00:44:17the future.
00:44:17I didn't
00:44:18look at
00:44:18the
00:44:18agreement.
00:44:19I took
00:44:20an envelope
00:44:20from my
00:44:21bag and
00:44:21placed it
00:44:22face down
00:44:22on the
00:44:22table.
00:44:24Diamond ring,
00:44:26apartment key
00:44:26card,
00:44:27mansion keys,
00:44:29black card,
00:44:30they're all
00:44:31here.
00:44:34These things
00:44:35are the
00:44:35chains you
00:44:35used to
00:44:36trap me.
00:44:37I'm
00:44:37returning
00:44:37them now.
00:44:42Are you
00:44:42really doing
00:44:43this?
00:44:43I want a
00:44:44divorce.
00:44:45I don't
00:44:46want your
00:44:46money,
00:44:46your house,
00:44:47or anything
00:44:47of yours.
00:44:48I only
00:44:49want Effie.
00:44:50You don't
00:44:50want my
00:44:51money?
00:44:51Who do
00:44:52you think
00:44:52you are?
00:44:53You think
00:44:53you can
00:44:53survive
00:44:54without me?
00:44:54You can't
00:44:55even afford
00:44:56your lawyer's
00:44:56fees!
00:44:57He picked
00:44:57up the
00:44:57phone and
00:44:58called the
00:44:58bank right
00:44:59in front
00:44:59of me.
00:45:00Freeze
00:45:00all
00:45:01subsidiary
00:45:01cards under
00:45:02Isolette's
00:45:03name.
00:45:07You don't
00:45:08even have
00:45:08money for
00:45:09a cab
00:45:09home now.
00:45:12Grayson,
00:45:13your biggest
00:45:14problem is
00:45:14that you
00:45:15think everyone
00:45:15is like
00:45:16you.
00:45:17Measuring
00:45:17everything by
00:45:18money alone.
00:45:24Late at
00:45:25night,
00:45:26I was
00:45:26woken by
00:45:26Effie's
00:45:27cries.
00:45:27She was
00:45:28having a
00:45:28nightmare,
00:45:29kicking and
00:45:29thrashing.
00:45:30Don't
00:45:30hit me!
00:45:31I don't
00:45:31want
00:45:32daddy!
00:45:33Effie!
00:45:34Wake up!
00:45:35Mommy's

00:45:36Mommy's

00:45:38Mommy,
00:45:39I had
00:45:39that
00:45:39dream
00:45:39again!
00:45:40The
00:45:40next
00:45:40day,
00:45:41I took
00:45:41her to
00:45:41see a
00:45:42child
00:45:42psychologist.
00:45:43The
00:45:44doctor
00:45:44looked at
00:45:44Effie's
00:45:45drawing.
00:45:45The
00:45:46drawing
00:45:46has
00:45:46you,
00:45:47her,
00:45:47and
00:45:47your
00:45:48house.
00:45:48But
00:45:49daddy
00:45:49is
00:45:49painted
00:45:50as a
00:45:50black
00:45:50blob.
00:45:51And
00:45:51in
00:45:52the
00:45:52corner
00:45:52it
00:45:52says
00:45:52daddy.
00:45:54What
00:45:54does

00:45:55She
00:45:55has
00:45:55severe
00:45:56abandonment
00:45:56fears.
00:45:57She
00:45:57doesn't
00:45:57hate
00:45:57her
00:45:57father.
00:45:58She's
00:45:58afraid
00:45:58to
00:45:58trust
00:45:59him
00:45:59again.
00:45:59But

00:46:13qualify
00:46:13for
00:46:13the

00:46:14program.

00:52:04checked
00:52:04Effie's
00:52:05solution
00:52:05steps.
00:52:06Every
00:52:07single
00:52:07step
00:52:08was
00:52:08correct.
00:52:12On

00:52:22But

00:52:25Caden,

00:52:27You're the

00:52:32test
00:52:32papers
00:52:33were

00:52:34Effie
00:52:34scanned
00:52:34the
00:52:35questions,
00:52:35then
00:52:36started
00:52:36writing.
00:52:37Her
00:52:37hand
00:52:38barely
00:52:38stopped.
00:52:40An

00:52:50Who

00:53:00No

00:53:04threw

00:53:09The

00:53:11little
00:53:11hard,

00:53:13two
00:53:13different
00:53:14ways.
00:53:15Two
00:53:15ways?
00:53:17Yes!
00:53:18The
00:53:18first
00:53:18way
00:53:18took
00:53:19five
00:53:19minutes.

00:53:20way
00:53:21only
00:53:21took
00:53:21two.

00:54:01This

00:54:23Evidence?
00:54:24A
00:54:24five-year-old

00:54:28That
00:54:29is
00:54:29the
00:54:29evidence!
00:54:31I
00:54:31turned
00:54:32on my
00:54:32phone's
00:54:32live stream
00:54:33and pointed
00:54:33the camera
00:54:34at
00:54:34Beatrice.
00:54:35Let
00:54:36everyone
00:54:36hear how
00:54:37Mrs.
00:54:37Lancaster
00:54:38slander
00:54:38a
00:54:38five-year-old
00:54:39girl.
00:54:40You
00:54:40put that
00:54:42thing
00:54:42away!
00:54:44Didn't
00:54:44you want
00:54:45everyone
00:54:45to know?
00:54:46Then
00:54:46let's
00:54:47see how
00:54:47they
00:54:47react.
00:54:49The
00:54:50live
00:54:50stream
00:54:51viewership
00:54:51exuded
00:54:52500,000.
00:54:53The
00:54:54comments
00:54:55exploded.
00:54:56Mom!
00:54:57Shut

00:55:04You're

00:55:07I am

00:55:09I'm
00:55:09telling you
00:55:09to shut
00:55:10up!
00:55:10Now!
00:55:12Grayson's
00:55:13voice was
00:55:13shaking.
00:55:14He wasn't
00:55:15defending me,
00:55:16he was
00:55:16defending the
00:55:16stock price.
00:55:18I turned
00:55:19off the
00:55:19live stream
00:55:20and walked
00:55:20up to
00:55:21Beatrice.
00:55:22You
00:55:23owe
00:55:23Effie
00:55:24an
00:55:24apology.
00:55:26I
00:55:30apologize.
00:55:32Mom,
00:55:33apologize.
00:55:37I'm
00:55:37sorry.
00:55:40I took
00:55:41Effie's
00:55:41hand and
00:55:42walked out
00:55:42of the
00:55:43hall.
00:55:43Behind
00:55:44us were
00:55:44whispering
00:55:45parents and
00:55:46the livid
00:55:46Lancasters.
00:55:48mommy,
00:55:49why doesn't
00:55:49grandma like
00:55:50me?
00:55:53Because she
00:55:54doesn't know
00:55:54you.
00:55:55When she gets
00:55:56to know you,
00:55:56she will like
00:55:57you.
00:55:58Really?
00:56:00Really.
00:56:01but not
00:56:02everyone
00:56:02deserves
00:56:02to know
00:56:03you.
00:56:11The next
00:56:12day,
00:56:13Belle ran
00:56:13to the
00:56:13school,
00:56:14holding
00:56:14several
00:56:14pieces
00:56:15of
00:56:15paper,
00:56:16claiming
00:56:16they were
00:56:16cheat sheets
00:56:17found under
00:56:17Effie's
00:56:18seat.
00:56:19This is
00:56:19the evidence.
00:56:20She wrote
00:56:21the answers
00:56:21on these
00:56:21papers and
00:56:22brought them
00:56:22into the
00:56:23exam.
00:56:23Mrs. Carson,
00:56:24do you have
00:56:25anything to
00:56:26say?
00:56:26You placed
00:56:27these papers
00:56:27there yourself,
00:56:28didn't you?
00:56:29How dare
00:56:30you falsely
00:56:31accuse me?
00:56:32Fine,
00:56:33let's call
00:56:33the police.
00:56:35Let them
00:56:35analyze the
00:56:36handwriting and
00:56:36check if your
00:56:37fingerprints are
00:56:37on the
00:56:38papers.
00:56:39You,
00:56:40when you
00:56:41placed them
00:56:42under
00:56:42Effie's
00:56:42seat,
00:56:43you probably
00:56:44weren't
00:56:44wearing gloves.
00:56:49Mommy,
00:56:50didn't you
00:56:51say no one
00:56:52would find
00:56:52out?
00:56:52The whole
00:56:53room fell
00:56:53silent.
00:56:54The
00:56:55principal
00:56:55stared at
00:56:56Belle.
00:56:56Belle
00:56:57stared at
00:56:57Kaden.
00:56:58I stared
00:56:59at
00:56:59Kaden.
00:57:00Mrs. Escobar,
00:57:01please leave
00:57:01the school
00:57:02with your
00:57:02son.
00:57:03Await the
00:57:03investigation
00:57:04results.
00:57:05No,
00:57:05that's not
00:57:06how it
00:57:06happened.
00:57:07Kaden,
00:57:07thank you
00:57:07for telling
00:57:08the truth,
00:57:09even if
00:57:10it wasn't
00:57:10voluntary.
00:57:16After the
00:57:17cheating scandal,
00:57:18Kaden was
00:57:18suspended
00:57:19from school.
00:57:22Effie's
00:57:23name was
00:57:23engraved on
00:57:24the school's
00:57:24honor wall.
00:57:26That
00:57:26evening,
00:57:27Grayson was
00:57:28waiting for
00:57:29me downstairs.
00:57:32He looked
00:57:33much older.
00:57:38My mother
00:57:39wants to see
00:57:39Effie.
00:57:41She's sick.
00:57:42The doctor
00:57:42says she has
00:57:43only a few
00:57:43months left.
00:57:47She wants
00:57:48to see Effie
00:57:49one last time.
00:57:52Even if
00:57:53she kneels
00:57:54down and
00:57:54apologize,
00:57:54I'm not
00:57:55sure I
00:57:56would agree.
00:57:59Grayson
00:57:59looked at
00:58:00me,
00:58:00then suddenly
00:58:01knelt down.
00:58:03Please,
00:58:04I've never
00:58:05begged you
00:58:05for anything.
00:58:08This one
00:58:08time,
00:58:09I'm begging
00:58:10you.
00:58:13Stand up.
00:58:14You look
00:58:15ridiculous
00:58:15kneeling here.
00:58:16You agree?
00:58:19I didn't
00:58:20agree.
00:58:27But I'm
00:58:27willing to
00:58:28negotiate.
00:58:31What
00:58:32conditions?
00:58:34First,
00:58:35Belle is
00:58:36not allowed
00:58:37to be
00:58:37at the
00:58:38estate.
00:58:39If she's
00:58:39there,
00:58:40we're not
00:58:41coming.
00:58:45Agreed.
00:58:46Second,
00:58:47Beatrice
00:58:48must apologize
00:58:49to Effie
00:58:49in public.
00:58:51Not a
00:58:51percentory
00:58:52apology.
00:58:54A
00:58:54sincere
00:58:55one.
00:58:57You know
00:58:57she would
00:58:58never...
00:58:58That's your
00:58:58problem.
00:59:00Not mine.
00:59:02Fine.
00:59:02I'll make
00:59:03her apologize.
00:59:04Third,
00:59:04when Effie
00:59:05doesn't want
00:59:05to call you
00:59:05daddy,
00:59:06you are not
00:59:07allowed to
00:59:07force her.
00:59:08She is
00:59:08my daughter!
00:59:09Then ask
00:59:09yourself,
00:59:10when have
00:59:10you ever
00:59:10acted like
00:59:11a father?
00:59:12I agree.
00:59:13All three
00:59:13conditions.
00:59:14I agree.
00:59:16Fine.
00:59:18Saturday
00:59:18at 10
00:59:18in the
00:59:19morning.
00:59:19We'll
00:59:19be
00:59:20there.
00:59:22I
00:59:23closed the
00:59:23door.
00:59:24Effie
00:59:24came out
00:59:25of her
00:59:25room.
00:59:30Effie,
00:59:30do you
00:59:31want to
00:59:31go see
00:59:31grandma?
00:59:32She
00:59:33yelled
00:59:33at me
00:59:33last
00:59:34time,
00:59:34but if
00:59:35she
00:59:35apologizes,
00:59:36I can
00:59:37forgive
00:59:37her.
00:59:42Okay.
00:59:43Then we'll
00:59:43go on
00:59:44Saturday.
00:59:51On the
00:59:52weekend,
00:59:52I took
00:59:53Effie to
00:59:53the
00:59:53Lancaster
00:59:54estate
00:59:54in
00:59:54Hudson
00:59:55Valley.
00:59:57Beatrice
00:59:57sat in
00:59:58a
00:59:58wheelchair,
00:59:59soaking up
00:59:59the sun
01:00:00in the
01:00:00garden.
01:00:02Effie
01:00:02walked up
01:00:03to her.
01:00:04Without
01:00:04a word,
01:00:05she handed
01:00:06her the
01:00:06honor
01:00:06certificate.
01:00:09Grandma,

01:06:39Sunday morning,
01:06:41I was packing

01:06:42The tablet beside
01:06:44the bed was still
01:06:45lit, open on
01:06:45Orbal Systems
01:06:46contract page.
01:06:51The door was
01:06:52suddenly pushed

01:07:09his face

01:07:27I took

01:07:36liquid into
01:07:37the toilet
01:07:37and flushed.
01:07:42I walked
01:07:43back out
01:07:44holding the
01:07:44empty cup.
01:07:45This is
01:07:46detox.
01:07:47getting
01:07:48rid of
01:07:48all the
01:07:48poison
01:07:49that
01:07:49belongs
01:07:49to
01:07:49you.
01:07:53When you
01:07:53fail at
01:07:54your job

01:07:55back crying,
01:07:56don't expect

01:07:57easy on
01:07:58you!
01:07:59Just wait
01:08:00and see.
01:08:01He cursed
01:08:02for a while
01:08:02outside the
01:08:03door,
01:08:03then stormed
01:08:04off.
01:08:05Mommy,
01:08:06why is
01:08:06Daddy
01:08:06shouting?
01:08:08Daddy is
01:08:08just throwing
01:08:09a tantrum
01:08:09like a
01:08:10little kid.
01:08:11Come on,
01:08:11let's go
01:08:11back to our
01:08:12Brooklyn home.
01:08:13Really?
01:08:13Right
01:08:13now?
01:08:14Yes,
01:08:15right now.
01:08:16I zipped
01:08:17the suitcase
01:08:17as fast
01:08:18as I
01:08:18could,
01:08:20grabbed
01:08:21Effie's
01:08:21coat,
01:08:24and opened
01:08:25the door.
01:08:26But
01:08:26Grayson had
01:08:27never left.
01:08:28He leaned
01:08:28against the
01:08:29doorframe,
01:08:30dangling my
01:08:30car keys from
01:08:31his finger.
01:08:32Going
01:08:33somewhere?
01:08:34Give me
01:08:34back my
01:08:34keys.
01:08:35The driver
01:08:36is off.
01:08:37The mountain
01:08:37roads are
01:08:37dangerous.
01:08:38You're
01:08:38unstable right
01:08:39now.
01:08:39I can't
01:08:39let you

01:08:40Give

01:08:44No.
01:08:45Mommy,
01:08:46what's
01:08:46wrong?
01:08:47Effie
01:08:47was already
01:08:48trembling.
01:08:49I couldn't
01:08:49let her
01:08:50know we
01:08:50were trapped
01:08:50again.
01:08:51It's
01:08:51okay.
01:08:52We're
01:08:52playing a

01:08:55the door.
01:08:56No one
01:08:56gets in

01:09:03I pressed
01:09:04a heavy
01:09:04armchair
01:09:04against the
01:09:05door handle
01:09:05and stood

01:09:36Grayson,
01:09:37dressed in

01:09:48His phone

01:09:50The special

01:09:52It was
