Short filmTranscript
00:00:03When I was 18, I signed a pre-nupical agreement and married Alistair, a man 15 years my senior.
00:00:14Everyone says I'm just a canary he keeps in a penthouse, but only I know how much he has favored
00:00:19me.
00:00:21This ring, which he designed himself, is the proof.
00:00:25And now, we finally have a little angel of our own.
00:00:29I have to tell Alistair the good news. I wonder how happy he'll be.
00:00:33Alistair, are you free right now? There's something I want you to be the first to know.
00:00:37Something's come up on my end.
00:00:39What's so urgent?
00:00:40Victoria's back. She's not doing well, so I need to take care of her first. I'll find you later. Be
00:00:45a good girl.
00:00:46Victoria. The one name he never allowed anyone to mention.
00:01:10You said you were busy today. So this is what you're busy with? Spending time with her?
00:01:16Am I interrupting something?
00:01:18She just got back and isn't doing well. Don't overthink it.
00:01:22Not doing well? Is that an excuse to be intimate with my husband in here?
00:01:26Alistair, you promised me you'd forget her.
00:01:29Chloe, watch your attitude.
00:01:32I'm your wife. I don't even have the right to ask a question?
00:01:36It's precisely because you are my wife that you should know your place.
00:01:41My place? What about you? Bringing another woman into your office? Is that your idea of knowing your place?
00:01:48Article 32 of the pre-Hopful Agreement. You are not to interfere with my social life, schedule, or business arrangements.
00:01:53You signed it. Now follow the rule.
00:01:55Alistair, she's young. It's only natural she's being mature. Don't be too hard on her.
00:02:00Not even a single word of explanation?
00:02:02It's not necessary. I gave you a title and a life of dignity, not a license to come here and
00:02:06make a steam.
00:02:06Grow up, little girl. Don't make this any more embarrassing than it already is.
00:02:10Get out.
00:02:17Why the rush? Even a contract wife can feel embarrassed?
00:02:24Get out of my way.
00:02:26Does this look familiar?
00:02:28Alistair designed it himself. The size, the cut, even the curve of the setting. It's identical.
00:02:34The one on your finger is just a fake you bought later to replace it.
00:02:37What exactly are you trying to say?
00:02:38I'm saying you should know your place. So what if you're his wife?
00:02:42You live in his house, spend his money, and trade a contract for a last name.
00:02:45But I'm different. I don't need an appointment to enter his office.
00:02:49I sit on his sofa, and he pours my drinks himself.
00:02:53Alistair, Alistair, I only have one question. Why is her ring the same as mine?
00:02:57It's just a ring.
00:03:01I designed this ring specifically for you. It's the only one of its kind in the world.
00:03:06After all, you are my one and only.
00:03:11Fine. I understand.
00:03:16What is this?
00:03:23It's just a manuscript for the competition. Don't bother yourself with it.
00:03:27I'll have the driver take you back.
00:03:29No need. I can get back on my own.
00:03:32I haven't had a chance to see her music room yet.
00:03:34See it if you want. You don't have to ask me twice about anything in this house.
00:03:39No problem. I'll send the manuscript over right now.
00:03:45My manuscript!
00:03:51This is my only original copy.
00:03:53I'm so sorry, Chloe.
00:03:55Who knew your music room would be such a mess?
00:03:57My hand slipped, and I spilled it.
00:03:59You won't blame me, will you?
00:04:01What a shame.
00:04:02I heard you were in a rush to submit this.
00:04:05What are you going to do now?
00:04:08Get your foot off it!
00:04:09What? It's just a pile of paper.
00:04:12Is all this really necessary?
00:04:17Alistair!
00:04:20Alistair, I really didn't mean it.
00:04:21I just wanted to see where she usually practices,
00:04:23but she started snapping at me the moment she got back.
00:04:26I'm a little scared.
00:04:27Victoria, you...
00:04:27Chloe, enough!
00:04:28What did you say?
00:04:29Victoria already said she didn't mean it.
00:04:31Is it really worth making such a scene over nothing?
00:04:33I wrote every single note of this myself.
00:04:35This is two years of my hard work.
00:04:37Alistair, you know that better than anyone!
00:04:38Hard work?
00:04:39Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:04:41This score?
00:04:42Or the status you've built using it as a prop?
00:04:45A student from a common background who managed to crawl into the Sterling family through a marriage certificate?
00:04:50Who are you trying to impress with this wronged woman act?
00:04:53Didn't you approach me in the first place for the money, the status, and the chance to climb to the
00:04:57top?
00:04:58I didn't.
00:04:58Am I wrong?
00:04:59Now that Victoria is back, you know your position is shaky, so you're using these tears and your so-called
00:05:03hard work as leverage.
00:05:05At the end of the ale, isn't this whole tantrum just a way to get my attention, to get more
00:05:09money, and to squeeze more out of me?
00:05:10No!
00:05:11You've forgotten!
00:05:12I never married you for your wealth, and I certainly wasn't plotting against the Sterling family.
00:05:16You were the one who begged me to marry you!
00:05:18I admit, I was blinded by you back then.
00:05:20If I could do it all over again, I would never marry a woman as calculating as you.
00:05:23We've been married for two years, and this is how lowly you think of me?
00:05:26What else would I think?
00:05:34Still throwing a tantrum over what happened today?
00:05:36Not throwing a tantrum, I just want to know, what exactly am I to you?
00:05:41You're my wife.
00:05:42I sketched the design for this ring myself.
00:05:44That year you were playing the cello in the snow, your hands were beat red from the cold, yet you
00:05:47refused to stop.
00:05:48I sat in the car watching you for half an hour, and when I got back, I drew this.
00:05:52You still remember?
00:05:53Of course.
00:05:54Chloe, I'm not blind to these things.
00:05:57Then why do you protect her over and over again?
00:06:00Victoria is too deeply tied to the family's projects.
00:06:02I took her side today, not because she's more important than Chloe, but because I had to keep the situation
00:06:07under control.
00:06:07Don't take those words to heart.
00:06:09Is that really all it is?
00:06:10You're too young.
00:06:11There are many things I don't want you to get mixed up in.
00:06:18Alistair, I hit someone.
00:06:20There's so much blood.
00:06:22Please come quickly.
00:06:24Something came up at the office.
00:06:25I need to head out, but I'll be back soon.
00:06:28This late?
00:06:29Wait for me.
00:06:30Don't go anywhere.
00:06:33Little one, your father still cares for us.
00:06:36Just wait a little longer.
00:06:40Chloe, Victoria accidentally killed someone with her car.
00:06:43She can't be linked to this case.
00:06:44So, you're going to take the fall for her.
00:06:52Chloe, don't be afraid.
00:06:53I'll handle everything.
00:06:55Just sign the papers, and I promise you'll be fine.
00:06:57You want me to take the fall for her killing someone?
00:06:59Alistair, you just said you would protect me!
00:07:01I am protecting you.
00:07:02The press is swarming outside, and the police are already watching us.
00:07:05We have to lock in the statement first so I can get you out of this mess.
00:07:07Don't be difficult.
00:07:08This is the fastest way.
00:07:09The lawyers will arrange your bail.
00:07:10All you have to do is give your thumbprint.
00:07:12So everything you said tonight was just a tactic to play me?
00:07:15The ring, the promises?
00:07:16What did any of it mean?
00:07:17It means you need to be smart right now.
00:07:19Article 33 of the prenuptal agreement, you are required to cooperate with family crisis
00:07:24management.
00:07:24Otherwise, you'll never be able to pay off the penalty in your lifetime.
00:07:27I'm not signing.
00:07:29Chloe, don't push me.
00:07:30Once you leave your print, this all ends tonight.
00:07:36Let go!
00:07:37You're hurting me!
00:07:42What?
00:07:45Chloe, why are you bleeding so much?
00:07:54Alistair, I'm pregnant.
00:07:57It's your baby.
00:07:58Please take me to the hospital.
00:08:00Now is not the time for this.
00:08:02I'm begging you.
00:08:04Please.
00:08:06Sign this, and I'll arrange for the hospital immediately.
00:08:11You still want me to sign?
00:08:13The accident case is already open.
00:08:15Victoria cannot go to prison.
00:08:17Take the fall first, and I'll cover everything.
00:08:19The bail, the lawyers, the hospital.
00:08:21If you don't sign, no one is coming for you tonight.
00:08:24And the hospital won't prioritize you.
00:08:26That's a human life!
00:08:28Not one of your PR crisis!
00:08:29Do you think the feds will just take your word for it?
00:08:32If you confess, it'll only be a few years,
00:08:34and I can reduce your sentence.
00:08:36If you fight it, you won't even make it to bail.
00:08:40You're using the hospital to blackmail me?
00:08:42I'm giving you a way out.
00:08:43Chloe, be good.
00:08:44Just confess first.
00:08:45We'll talk about the baby later.
00:08:47Later?
00:08:48You don't even want him now.
00:08:49You said you'd never leave me alone.
00:08:53Sign it, now.
00:08:59Wait!
00:09:08Alistin, I knew you wouldn't...
00:09:10If you sign it like this, it looks too much like coercion.
00:09:12The police might not accept it.
00:09:16Press your thumbprint, then sign it again.
00:09:18You stopped me!
00:09:20Just for this?
00:09:21The confession must be flawless.
00:09:23Nothing can happen to Victoria.
00:09:24I'm bleeding.
00:09:26And you're worried about the paperwork looking pretty?
00:09:28I already have a car waiting downstairs.
00:09:31Once you sign, I'll take you to the hospital immediately.
00:09:33And if I don't sign it?
00:09:35Then you can keep wasting time here tonight.
00:09:37Wait for the feds to arrive,
00:09:39or wait for the baby to micewake on its own.
00:09:41Your choice.
00:09:44That's your child, too.
00:09:45Sign the papers first.
00:09:52Alistair, you'll pay for this.
00:09:54Sign it.
00:10:04Don't be afraid.
00:10:05I'm calling an ambulance for you right now.
00:10:11Alistair, save the baby first, I beg you.
00:10:14Save the baby.
00:10:17As long as the baby is safe,
00:10:19anything else,
00:10:20I'll agree to anything.
00:10:22Don't worry.
00:10:23You and the baby will be fine.
00:10:24Let's go!
00:10:25Coming through!
00:10:28Come on.
00:10:29Come on.
00:10:31The patient is facing a severe threatened miscarriage,
00:10:33a significant uterine bleeding.
00:10:34We must operate immediately to stop the hemorrhage.
00:10:36She's in critical condition.
00:10:37Any further delay,
00:10:37and we won't be able to save either the mother or the child.
00:10:39These are the prenatal records of the bleeding logs.
00:10:40Sign us now to authorize a combined procedure for surgery
00:10:42and fetal preservation.
00:10:43Mr. Stone, there is no time.
00:10:44She's losing blood rapidly.
00:10:45She needs to be in the OR right now.
00:10:47Every minute counts.
00:10:48If we wait any longer,
00:10:49the baby is gone,
00:10:49and the mother's life will be at risk too.
00:10:53Mr. Sterling,
00:10:54Victoria had DUI.
00:10:55If you want your wife to take the fall,
00:10:57it's best she has no recent record of pregnancy.
00:10:59Otherwise...
00:11:00Understood.
00:11:02Hold off on the filing.
00:11:03Suspend the surgery.
00:11:04Just stop the bleeding for now.
00:11:05What did you say?
00:11:08For her sake,
00:11:09you're even...
00:11:11abandoning our child?
00:11:18Cancel the surgery?
00:11:20You're going to kill our own flesh and blood just for Victoria?
00:11:22As long as you take the fall for the accident,
00:11:25we can have other children later.
00:11:28But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.
00:11:30She cannot have a criminal record.
00:11:32Ma'am, please calm down.
00:11:33She's eight weeks pregnant and hemorrhaging.
00:11:36And you want her to confess to a crime?
00:11:39Save your misplaced sense of justice
00:11:41and do as I say,
00:11:43or you'll be kicked out of the medical profession
00:11:45for good by tomorrow.
00:11:51You didn't come here to save me at all.
00:11:53You said only today that protect me.
00:11:55Is this what you call protection?
00:11:58Be a good girl and confess.
00:12:00Alice, you'll still be my most cherished wife.
00:12:03No.
00:12:04Alistair, I'm begging him.
00:12:21Alistair,
00:12:22where is my baby?
00:12:32The baby wasn't meant to be with us.
00:12:35Don't play games with me.
00:12:36Was it an accident,
00:12:37or did you order the doctor to do it?
00:12:41You're still young.
00:12:43Once you've recovered,
00:12:45we'll have other children.
00:12:48Answer me!
00:12:49Victoria's legal team
00:12:50has been working through the night.
00:12:51I've used the Sterling Family Trust
00:12:53to post your $50 million bail.
00:13:00Alistair,
00:13:00even your way of killing is so refined.
00:13:03I have no patience for your tantrums.
00:13:05Behave yourself.
00:13:06Focus on your recovery.
00:13:07I'm busy lately.
00:13:09Once you're better,
00:13:10head back on your own.
00:13:11No need to let me know.
00:13:12Behave yourself.
00:13:16Behave yourself.
00:13:19Behave yourself.
00:13:26Oh, you're back.
00:13:28The fabric of this at four is really nice,
00:13:30though the waist is a bit tight.
00:13:35Who gave you permission to wear my clothes?
00:13:37Is there anything in this apartment
00:13:39that actually belongs to you,
00:13:40even that your engagement ring you're wearing?
00:13:42Didn't pay for it with his card?
00:13:46Chloe, the doctor said
00:13:47you shouldn't get worked up.
00:13:49Sit down first.
00:13:50Tell
00:13:51to take it off.
00:13:53Alistair, I'm just borrowing it.
00:13:55Does she really have to be so mean?
00:13:58It's just a pajama.
00:14:00Do you have to start a scene
00:14:01the second you get home?
00:14:07Chloe, have you had enough?
00:14:08You've been acting like a total lunaturk lately.
00:14:10Can't you be more sensible?
00:14:12Alistair?
00:14:15He said you looked pathetic last night.
00:14:17Did you know?
00:14:18He complained that your crying was too loud,
00:14:19so he held me in his arms all night.
00:14:21He also said he never forgot about me.
00:14:23You were out of the game
00:14:24from the very beginning.
00:14:26That's very Christian of you.
00:14:31Alistair!
00:14:31Help me!
00:14:32Calm down.
00:14:33Put the knife down first.
00:14:34Choose.
00:14:36Choose between us right now!
00:14:38Chloe, what the hell is wrong with you, lady?
00:14:40Be reasonable.
00:14:41I can't be reasonable.
00:14:42Everything changed the moment she came back.
00:14:44Have you forgotten how we lost our baby?
00:14:46Have you forgotten what you promised me?
00:14:47You said you would protect me,
00:14:48but who are you protecting now?
00:14:50Look at me, Alistair!
00:14:51Look at me!
00:14:52Fine.
00:14:52I choose you.
00:14:54Chloe, I choose you.
00:14:55Now let her go and come here.
00:15:05Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:08This is your last warning.
00:15:11Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:13Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:26Don't you ever touch her again.
00:15:33Sign it, and you'll be Mrs. Sterling.
00:15:35It says here that I'm giving up almost all my rights.
00:15:37Don't worry, it's just a formality.
00:15:39Our backgrounds are so different.
00:15:41Without this, my family might not accept you.
00:15:43Listen, this agreement is only to appease the family.
00:15:45My promise to you is right here.
00:15:46I added a handwritten clause.
00:15:48If I ever betray you, or if you feel any unhappiness in this marriage, you can burn it at any
00:15:51time.
00:15:51No lawyers needed, no need to notify me.
00:15:53The moment you burn this agreement, you are free.
00:15:55This is my only true guarantee.
00:16:05You promised, it's over.
00:16:11Brody, it's me.
00:16:12Get me a ticket to Europe for tonight.
00:16:14Sterling.
00:16:14I burned the agreement.
00:16:16Understood.
00:16:17Two hours, the usual spot.
00:16:18Okay.
00:16:27Goodbye, Alistair.
00:16:34It is late.
00:16:35Where do you think you are going?
00:16:36That's none of your business.
00:16:38None of my business?
00:16:39Did you forget the agreement?
00:16:40Wherever you go, you report to me first.
00:16:43The agreement?
00:16:43I burned it.
00:16:44Just now.
00:16:45Alistair, you dare to burn it?
00:16:46That contract is legally binding, Chloe.
00:16:48It is not some toy you can toss into the fire whenever you feel like it.
00:16:51I have put up with enough from you lately.
00:16:52Do not push me.
00:16:53Do you have any idea that agreement is what keeps you, Mrs. Sterling?
00:16:56How the hell am I supposed to protect you when you act like this?
00:16:58I know, but I cannot afford your kind of protection.
00:17:00Did you forget the clause you wrote yourself?
00:17:01You promised that if I was unhappy, I could burn it any time.
00:17:04The second it burned, I was free.
00:17:05That was something I said to make you happy.
00:17:07You think a court will honor that?
00:17:10I promise, once you burn it, you are free.
00:17:12I will not stop you.
00:17:16Chloe!
00:17:21Alistair!
00:17:26Alistair?
00:17:27What happened out here?
00:17:28I thought I heard shouting.
00:17:29Was it Chloe?
00:17:29Is she throwing another tantrum?
00:17:31She ran at that ridiculous recording.
00:17:32A recording?
00:17:33Honey, you cannot seriously be worried.
00:17:35A pre-nap does not vanish because some 20-year-old girl throws it into a fireplace.
00:17:38She knows nothing about the law.
00:17:42She is just shaken from the miscarriage, and the bail pressure is getting to her.
00:17:45She is trying to scare you.
00:17:46The harder you chase, the more power she thinks she has.
00:17:50Let her cool off.
00:17:51When the money guns out and she has nowhere to go, she will come crawling back.
00:17:54You really think so?
00:17:56Of course.
00:17:56It is just a little girl acting out for attention.
00:17:58We both know it.
00:17:59Besides, every account in her name is tied to your family trust.
00:18:02Without this place, she cannot even afford a hotel room.
00:18:04What matters now is keeping the situation stable.
00:18:06We cannot let the FBI case get complicated because of her emotions.
00:18:09You are right.
00:18:10I am always on your side.
00:18:12Get some rest.
00:18:13You have the legal team tomorrow.
00:18:17Chloe, I will wait for you to come back to me.
00:18:24Your passport and ticket are in the inner pocket.
00:18:27He will not find you.
00:18:29The accounts are wiped.
00:18:30The cameras are covered.
00:18:32You are a ghost now.
00:18:33I handled the airport.
00:18:37We are here.
00:18:38Cargo gate C7.
00:18:40Someone will meet you.
00:18:41Direct flight to Paris.
00:18:43There is some cash inside.
00:18:44When you land, call this number.
00:18:50Chloe, forgive me for being reckless.
00:18:52But I cannot fight this anymore.
00:18:54Will you marry me?
00:18:55Will you be my wife?
00:18:56I am just an ordinary girl.
00:18:58How could I ever be worthy of...
00:18:59Chloe, do not ever say that about yourself.
00:19:01To me, you are the most beautiful, purest woman in the world.
00:19:04You deserve everything.
00:19:05It is just a nightgown.
00:19:06Did you really have to come home and turn the whole place into a war zone?
00:19:12Chloe, are you done?
00:19:14Lately, you have been acting like a complete lunatic.
00:19:16Can you please grow up?
00:19:19It is over.
00:19:26Stop thinking about it, Alistair.
00:19:28Chloe needs time to calm down.
00:19:32Get out.
00:19:33What?
00:19:34I said get out.
00:19:36Take off Chloe's nightgown.
00:19:37Do not touch Chloe's things again.
00:19:39It is just a nightgown.
00:19:41Why are you treating Victoria like this because of Chloe?
00:19:44We are the ones who...
00:19:45We are nothing.
00:19:46The woman Alistair loves is Chloe.
00:19:48It was always Chloe.
00:19:49It still is.
00:19:50But Chloe left.
00:19:51Chloe does not give a damn about Alistair.
00:19:54I do.
00:19:55Listen carefully, Victoria.
00:19:57I helped you because of your father.
00:19:58Because of those damn business ties.
00:20:00But you have always known where my heart is.
00:20:02Stop doing this.
00:20:03I have done so much for you.
00:20:05Enough.
00:20:06You are tired.
00:20:07Go rest.
00:20:12Three days.
00:20:14Sorry.
00:20:15The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
00:20:23Where the hell did you go?
00:20:26What is that?
00:20:31She actually burned it.
00:20:33It is just a piece of paper.
00:20:35Burning it proves she cares.
00:20:36Cares about what?
00:20:37You.
00:20:38It is a little girl's stunt.
00:20:40The most dramatic way she could think of to get your attention.
00:20:42She thought if she burned the agreement, you would chase after her and prove you cannot live without her.
00:20:46She used a fake ID.
00:20:48Emptied the accounts.
00:20:49So what?
00:20:50Every dime she has eventually leads back to the Sterling Family Trust.
00:20:52Where can she go without you?
00:20:53Sleep on the street?
00:20:54What is she right now?
00:20:55A suspect out on bail?
00:20:57The FBI case is still hanging over her.
00:20:59Besides you, who would dare take her in?
00:21:01The outside world is a hundred times scarier for her than this apartment.
00:21:04Give her time to act out.
00:21:05Once she has suffered enough, she will remember where she belongs.
00:21:09Then she will come back on her own, sweeter than ever.
00:21:12What if she does not come back?
00:21:14Then she never deserved to be Mrs. Sterling.
00:21:16A doll too stupid to understand her own position is not worth keeping, is she?
00:21:20Clean this up.
00:21:21Of course.
00:21:22Fly away, little bird.
00:21:24Let us see how long you last.
00:21:30Were the new spring pieces sent to the wardrobe?
00:21:32Yes, sir.
00:21:33Everything was delivered to the estate yesterday afternoon.
00:21:36As instructed, the sizes and styles followed.
00:21:39The previous records exactly.
00:21:41Some of the brands Chloe like changed creative directors this season.
00:21:44I reviewed the new collections.
00:21:45There are a few dresses Chloe would like.
00:21:46Yes, sir.
00:21:47Every year you personally review the seasonal catalogs and reserve pieces for Mrs. Sterling
00:21:51for Mrs. Chloe.
00:21:52You have done that for three years.
00:21:54Chloe did not take a single thing when Chloe left.
00:21:57Perhaps Miss Chloe knows you have been waiting for Chloe to come back.
00:22:01Waiting for Chloe to come back?
00:22:02No.
00:22:03I am just confirming whether Chloe really has the nerve to stay gone forever.
00:22:08Sir, the emergency meeting is in two hours.
00:22:11They insist you attend.
00:22:12It is about the Asia market acquisition.
00:22:14Tell them I...
00:22:18That silhouette looks so familiar.
00:22:21Is that you, Chloe?
00:22:29Find out.
00:22:30Now.
00:22:31Sir.
00:22:32Confirmed.
00:22:32It is Miss Chloe Sterling.
00:22:34She is performing under the stage name Claire Moray now.
00:22:37She is the orchestra's newly signed principal cellist.
00:22:39Her debut is next Friday at the Musick Vi-
00:22:41Three years.
00:22:42I had her wardrobe at the estate refreshed every season.
00:22:46Those dresses, she never touched a single one.
00:22:48Yes, sir.
00:22:49You have been waiting for her to come back.
00:22:52Claire Moray.
00:22:53You hid well.
00:22:58Cancel the board meeting.
00:22:59Or let them talk to an empty chair.
00:23:02Right now, contact the airport.
00:23:03I want the next direct flight to Vienna.
00:23:05But, sir, the board...
00:23:08Do it.
00:23:30Sir, rehearsal is closed.
00:23:32No outsiders.
00:23:33Move.
00:23:33I am here for Chloe Stingling.
00:23:35There is no Chloe Stingling here.
00:23:38The woman on tase is Claire Moray, guest cello soloist for the...
00:23:43Festival.
00:23:44Festival.
00:23:55She never smiled like that.
00:24:02See that?
00:24:03She is doing well now.
00:24:05She does not need anyone disturbing her.
00:24:08Especially you.
00:24:09Who the hell are you?
00:24:10Her manager.
00:24:11And her friend.
00:24:12Leave before rehearsal ends or I call security.
00:24:31Chloe.
00:24:34We need to talk.
00:24:35Now.
00:24:36Sorry.
00:24:37Give me one minute to deal with old business.
00:24:41Have you been with him this whole three years?
00:24:43What does that have to do with you, Mr. Stingling?
00:24:47Listen to me.
00:24:48Back then...
00:24:49I do not want to hear it.
00:24:51I swear, I did not know it would...
00:24:52If I had known you were pregnant, I never would have...
00:24:54You knew.
00:24:55And you still chose what mattered more to you.
00:24:57Your empire.
00:24:58Your Victoria.
00:24:58Now that the show is over, leave.
00:25:01Sir.
00:25:02Claire needs to continue rehearse.
00:25:04Your disruption is not welcome here.
00:25:06She will not even bother me.
00:25:26Tonight's piece is called Ashes.
00:25:33I wrote every single note of this myself.
00:25:37This is two years of my hard work.
00:25:40Allison, you know that better than anyone.
00:25:42Hard work?
00:25:44Chloe, what are you really afraid of losing?
00:25:46This score or the status of you've built using it as a prop?
00:25:49It's just the piece she wrote back then.
00:26:08I need to speak with you.
00:26:11Chloe.
00:26:12I thought you'd never ask.
00:26:13That last bar was brilliant.
00:26:15Only because your theme gave me something to work.
00:26:1830% of Sterling Group Equity.
00:26:19Transferred to you unconditionally.
00:26:21Sign it and it is yours.
00:26:2230%?
00:26:23That is astronomical.
00:26:25Mr. Sterling is generous.
00:26:26The dividends alone must be tens of millions.
00:26:29Music.
00:26:30To rebirth.
00:26:35See that?
00:26:36He just got shut down hard.
00:26:3730% of Sterling.
00:26:38Too bad she does not give a damn.
00:26:43You will not even look at it.
00:26:52You do not have to accept it.
00:26:54Just come home with me.
00:26:55Let go.
00:26:56I waited for you for three years.
00:26:58Every single day I thought about you.
00:26:59The confession, Victoria, everything.
00:27:01I finally understand it all.
00:27:03And?
00:27:03The baby.
00:27:04Our baby.
00:27:05I never even got the chance to make it right.
00:27:07Alistair Sterling, is this your repentance act?
00:27:10Who is the audience?
00:27:11These guests or yourself?
00:27:12It is not an act.
00:27:14I am begging you, Chloe.
00:27:15Come home.
00:27:16Everything I have is yours.
00:27:17Sterling Group, my life.
00:27:19Take all of it.
00:27:19Home?
00:27:20Did that place not become yours and Victoria's love nest a long time ago?
00:27:24Did she slept in the bed I slept in?
00:27:26Did you whisper the same sweet lies to her that you whispered to me?
00:27:29Never.
00:27:30I never let her into the master bedroom.
00:27:32If you think the place is dirty, we can burn it down and rebuild it.
00:27:36Rebuild what?
00:27:37Ashes are ashes, just like our rings in that agreement.
00:27:40Burned.
00:27:41Gone.
00:27:41Never coming back.
00:27:43Then what about me?
00:27:43These three years I have been walking around like a corpse.
00:27:46What the hell am I supposed to do?
00:27:48You?
00:27:50Go back to Wall Street, hold your equity papers tight, take Victoria with you and grow old
00:27:54together.
00:28:07Do not go.
00:28:08Please.
00:28:10Let go.
00:28:10I was wrong.
00:28:12I was wrong.
00:28:12Everything.
00:28:13It started with Victoria's goddamn car accident and I was wrong from that moment.
00:28:16I forged the confession and used the agreement to force you to sign, not because I believed
00:28:21that bullshit.
00:28:22I did it because I was scared.
00:28:24Scared of what?
00:28:25Scared you would see how rotten I was.
00:28:27Scared you would realize I was framing my own wife to save another woman's freedom.
00:28:31Scared you would look down on me.
00:28:32Scared you would leave.
00:28:32So I pushed you off the cliff first.
00:28:34Thought that would bind you to me.
00:28:36Guilt.
00:28:36The baby, the debt you owed me, but I, I destroyed everything with my own hands.
00:28:40The baby, our baby.
00:28:43Are you done?
00:28:44We should go say goodbye to the conductor.
00:28:56I am honored by your invitation.
00:29:01Miss Sterling, congratulations on the huge success of your European tour.
00:29:04Many fans are curious, how did you create a piece as moving as ashes?
00:29:09I think it came from the people who helped me and from things I had no choice but to survive.
00:29:15What experiences?
00:29:16There was a time in my life when I was very closed off.
00:29:20On paper, I had a home.
00:29:22In reality, I was more like a carefully kept possession.
00:29:25You mean your marriage?
00:29:28Yes.
00:29:29A marriage built on enormous equality and lies.
00:29:31I was too young then, naive enough to believe talent and love could bridge anything.
00:29:36Then I was betrayed and I lost my child.
00:29:40That is heartbreaking.
00:29:43I was lucky.
00:29:44After I escaped, I met people in Europe who truly respected art and human dignity.
00:29:49They gave me shelter and a stage and allowed me to live purely for music.
00:29:53So you see that unhappy marriage as the catalyst for your artistic transformation?
00:29:57It is part of my life that cannot be erased.
00:30:00I do not thank that experience, but I thank the woman who crawled out of the rubbles.
00:30:04As for the other person in that marriage...
00:30:10My past, and that name with it, is over.
00:30:13Like a fire that burned itself out, only ashes remain.
00:30:16I will not, and I do not want to, have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again.
00:30:22My life and my music are moving forward.
00:30:24I will not, and I do not want to, have even the slightest connection with anyone from that past again.
00:30:33Promise me we will not be apart for a hundred years.
00:30:36Not a hundred years.
00:30:38Forever, Chloe.
00:30:40Not even the slightest connection.
00:30:43Did we not promise each other?
00:30:45We were supposed to be together forever!
00:30:52Thank you for driving me home, Julian, and thank you for tonight's performance.
00:30:55The honor was mine.
00:30:57Get some rest.
00:30:59Move.
00:30:59Chloe, please.
00:31:01Just five minutes.
00:31:02No, one minute.
00:31:03Let me say one thing.
00:31:05One moment.
00:31:06I was wrong.
00:31:07I know I was wrong.
00:31:08I do not want anything anymore.
00:31:10I will give you everything.
00:31:11Please look at me.
00:31:12Just look at me.
00:31:12Alistair, you are blocking my way.
00:31:15I said move.
00:31:16What?
00:31:17Chloe, I...
00:31:18I said move.
00:31:30Brody Cook, we need to talk.
00:31:32Name your price.
00:31:33Leave Chloe.
00:31:35Whatever resources, connections, channels you have, Sterling Group will double them.
00:31:39Alistair, you still think money fixes everything?
00:31:42She is not safe in her current situation.
00:31:45With me, she would have the best protection.
00:31:47Protection?
00:31:48Was it not you who left her bleeding and cost her the baby three years ago?
00:31:52Then what does she need?
00:31:53That Vanderbilt?
00:31:54What can he give her?
00:31:55Peace?
00:31:56Respect?
00:31:57A place where she does not have to wonder if the man beside her will send her to prison.
00:32:01Save it, Mr. Staling.
00:32:02Your price cannot buy my conscience, and it sure as hell cannot buy back her three years.
00:32:08He came to see me.
00:32:09Offered a blank check if I would leave you.
00:32:11Oh.
00:32:12I blocked every way he can contact me, but you need to be careful.
00:32:15I am afraid his next move will be even more unhinged.
00:32:17Three years ago, he used the law as a chain, our child as Albridge, and my life to buy another
00:32:22woman's freedom.
00:32:22What else can he possibly...
00:32:23Your reputation, your performance, everything you have in Europe.
00:32:26I have already lost the most precious thing I had.
00:32:28There is nothing left in this game.
00:32:38Happy anniversary, my wife.
00:32:47Claire!
00:32:49You look pale.
00:32:50I am fine.
00:32:51I did not sleep well last night.
00:32:52Do you need to postpone this afternoon's ensemble rehearsal?
00:32:55What date is it?
00:32:56October 19th.
00:32:58Of course.
00:32:59Five years ago today, we were officially married.
00:33:02Why would Alistair send me this now?
00:33:04What the hell is he trying to do?
00:33:06Julian, if someone used a day you never wanted to remember to remind you how stupid you used
00:33:11to be, what would you do?
00:33:12I would tell myself that day is dead.
00:33:14Today is what survived.
00:33:15He is such a fool.
00:33:17He really thinks this random photo and blessing can patch over my scars.
00:33:20You still care about him, do you not?
00:33:27I just think he is stupid and I feel sorry for the person I used to be.
00:33:31It is over now.
00:33:32There is nothing to care about.
00:33:38Oh my god, those are blue phantom roses.
00:33:41They must have been flown in.
00:33:44The card is gorgeous.
00:33:46My other half of my soul.
00:33:48Who brought these in?
00:33:49Did I not say every gift goes through me first?
00:33:51The florist brought them straight to the backstage door.
00:33:53They said they were specifically for Claire.
00:34:00They are beautiful.
00:34:01I bet they are even prettier in real life.
00:34:03But I heard they are almost impossible to grow and they bloom for only a moment.
00:34:06I guess they were never meant for me.
00:34:07Nothing is impossible for the Sterlings.
00:34:09Not if you want it.
00:34:10Forget it.
00:34:11Some things are just not meant to be.
00:34:12Chloe!
00:34:13Chloe?
00:34:15Are you okay?
00:34:17Give it to me.
00:34:18Leave the flowers.
00:34:19Put them here.
00:34:20They are pretty.
00:34:33Chloe, are you sure you're okay?
00:34:35It's just a flower, Brody.
00:34:36I'm fine.
00:34:37Just drop it, will you?
00:34:41Chloe, you are the other half of my soul.
00:34:43The missing part of me.
00:34:45Only you can make me whole.
00:34:47In that moment, I thought I had caught every star in the sky.
00:34:50The other half of my soul.
00:34:57I'm not mine.
00:34:59Never meant to be mine.
00:35:05Chloe!
00:35:10Tell me, what happened?
00:35:12In that cafe in New York, before he kissed me for the first time, that is exactly what he said.
00:35:17My other half of my soul.
00:35:19I am getting you time off.
00:35:20Go home and really...
00:35:22No, I'm in fine.
00:35:23You're sure?
00:35:23I am sure.
00:35:25The harder he tries to nail me to the past, the more I will make him see those memories cannot
00:35:28hurt me anymore.
00:35:29I will not drown in the past.
00:35:31Never.
00:35:34Miss Sterling, these are the records you requested.
00:35:36How bad was she when she was brought in?
00:35:38All of them.
00:35:38Extremely bad.
00:35:39The patient was already showing early signs of hemorrhagic shock.
00:35:41We recommended immediate surgery.
00:35:43It was the only way to try to save both mother and child.
00:35:45Why did you not insist?
00:35:46You signed a form.
00:35:47You said as long as she could talk in authority to overturn the family's explicit instructions.
00:35:50If you had done the surgery with the baby, there would at least have been a chance.
00:35:53But after you refused, that child could not be saved.
00:35:56We later found the patient had already been delayed at home for at least more than 40 minutes before she
00:36:00arrived.
00:36:00After arrival, waiting for your signature cost the best intervention window.
00:36:04Delayed how long?
00:36:06Nearly two hours.
00:36:07The records show the hemorrhage became fully controllable after midnight.
00:36:10We later assessed that if she had arrived half an hour later, or if the bleeding had been slightly worse,
00:36:14we might not have saved the mother either.
00:36:17You're that child.
00:36:18It was me.
00:36:19It was all me.
00:36:22I killed Chloe's and my baby with my own hands.
00:36:25All for Victoria.
00:36:30At 10.17 p.m., she started bleeding.
00:36:33At 10.20, I took out the document.
00:36:35I made her sign.
00:36:36Her hands were shaking.
00:36:38She could not write.
00:36:39Blood soaked the paper.
00:36:42At 10.50, she finished signing.
00:36:44I called.
00:36:45Then I waited.
00:36:4747 minutes.
00:36:49After I hung up,
00:36:50I did not call again.
00:36:56Alistair, I'm pregnant.
00:36:59It's your name.
00:37:00Please take me to the hospital.
00:37:02Now is not the time for this.
00:37:04I'm begging you.
00:37:06Please.
00:37:08Sign this,
00:37:09and I'll arrange for the hospital immediately.
00:37:13You still want me to sign?
00:37:15The accident for this is already open.
00:37:17Victoria did not go to prison.
00:37:18Take the fall first,
00:37:20and I'll cover everything.
00:37:21The bail, the lawyers, the hospital.
00:37:23If you don't sign,
00:37:24no one is coming for you tonight,
00:37:26and the hospital won't prioritize you.
00:37:28The doctor said surgery.
00:37:30I said no.
00:37:32Too risky.
00:37:37Cancel the surgery?
00:37:38You're going to kill our own flesh and blood
00:37:40just for Victoria?
00:37:41As long as you take the fall for the accident,
00:37:43we can have other children with you.
00:37:46But Victoria's reputation is vital to her.
00:37:49She cannot have a criminal record.
00:37:52I chose it.
00:37:53No ambulance.
00:37:54No surgery.
00:37:55She had to sign first.
00:38:03Even the fall that sent her to the hospital,
00:38:07that was because of me too.
00:38:09Chloe, don't push me.
00:38:10Once you leave your print,
00:38:11this all ends tonight.
00:38:16Let go!
00:38:17You're hurting me!
00:38:22What?
00:38:24Every step was me.
00:38:26It was her.
00:38:27She was driving.
00:38:29She killed that person.
00:38:31She begged me to save her.
00:38:33Yes, it was her.
00:38:34She drove a wedge between us.
00:38:35She knelt in front of me,
00:38:36saying her career, her name,
00:38:37her future were over.
00:38:38She cried that only Chloe could save her.
00:38:40I'm saying you should know your place.
00:38:42So what if you're his wife?
00:38:43You live in his house,
00:38:44enter his office.
00:38:46I sit on his sofa,
00:38:47and he pours my drinks himself.
00:38:52Exactly.
00:38:53If it were not for Victoria,
00:38:54why would Chloe have been pushed that far?
00:38:56Why would I have forced Chloe?
00:38:57Why would I have lost our baby?
00:38:58That is right.
00:38:59It was all because of her.
00:39:00I need to find her.
00:39:02Now!
00:39:08Mr. Sterling was so easy to fool.
00:39:10One perfectly staged elevator malfunction,
00:39:12one perfectly timed twisted ankle,
00:39:14and he believed I was his destined soulmate.
00:39:17That old money type is arrogant
00:39:18and naive to the bone.
00:39:19I played the independent self-made woman
00:39:21for him all these years for exactly this.
00:39:23Sooner or later,
00:39:24every Sterling group asset
00:39:25will carry the Thorn name.
00:39:27As for the baby,
00:39:29losing that common girl's child
00:39:30was good for me.
00:39:31An heir with ordinary blood
00:39:32would only dilute the Sterling fortune.
00:39:38Alistair?
00:39:39What are you doing here?
00:39:41You have been playing me this whole time.
00:39:43No!
00:39:44I love you!
00:39:45Everything I did was for us!
00:39:47That Chloe never deserved you!
00:39:49She only dragged you...
00:39:50You...
00:39:51You built our beginning on lies.
00:39:54You schemed to tear Chloe and me apart.
00:39:56You...
00:39:57You killed my child!
00:39:59You drove her away!
00:40:00This is all your fault!
00:40:02There has to be a misunderstanding.
00:40:03I can explain...
00:40:05Save your explanation for the feds.
00:40:08You are turning me over to the Bureau?
00:40:20For three years,
00:40:21you used my trust to move assets,
00:40:25forge documents,
00:40:26and frame Chloe.
00:40:29Any one of those could put you
00:40:30in federal prison for decades.
00:40:34Alistair, what...
00:40:35What are you talking about?
00:40:38The Bureau's preliminary evidence list?
00:40:41Your lawyer will receive official notice tomorrow.
00:40:44No!
00:40:45Alistair, you cannot do this to me!
00:40:47I love you!
00:40:48Everything I did was for you!
00:40:50We can explain, we can...
00:40:51Explain?
00:40:52To whom?
00:40:53To the child you helped kill?
00:40:55The baby!
00:40:56The baby was an accident!
00:40:58Chloe's body was weak!
00:41:00An accident?
00:41:02That night,
00:41:02you told me that once Chloe signed,
00:41:05everything would be fine.
00:41:06You said,
00:41:07there was still time.
00:41:09And you believed whatever I said?
00:41:11Alistair, you were the one
00:41:12who did not want to call that ambulance.
00:41:14You were afraid she would back out,
00:41:16afraid she would run,
00:41:18afraid your perfect scapegoat would disappear.
00:41:20You pushed me to delay.
00:41:24You handed her the papers.
00:41:26You set the terms.
00:41:28You forced her to sign.
00:41:30You just do not want to admit
00:41:31that from start to finish,
00:41:32the person who most wanted her
00:41:33to take the fall was you.
00:41:35Me?
00:41:36I only said the filthy little thought
00:41:37already sitting in your head.
00:41:40Alistair, the person who killed your child
00:41:42was not me.
00:41:43It was you.
00:41:48Do you know what happened?
00:41:50That night,
00:41:51I came to you crying
00:41:52because I was scared.
00:41:54Alistair, help me.
00:41:55I hit someone.
00:41:57That person,
00:41:58that person is not moving.
00:42:00I did not mean to.
00:42:01The road was too dark.
00:42:03Who was the victim?
00:42:04Any witnesses?
00:42:06I do not know.
00:42:07Maybe a homeless man?
00:42:09I think,
00:42:09I do not think anyone saw.
00:42:11Victoria,
00:42:11you know what that means.
00:42:13Vehicular manslaughter,
00:42:15a federal felony,
00:42:16your career,
00:42:16your reputation,
00:42:17everything is over.
00:42:19Please.
00:42:20I know you have a way.
00:42:22You know so many people.
00:42:26Are you sure you left no evidence
00:42:27that can be traced back to you?
00:42:29I am sure.
00:42:30I already got rid of the car
00:42:31and there are no cameras on that road.
00:42:33You need a scapegoat.
00:42:35Someone important enough
00:42:36and controllable enough.
00:42:39What?
00:42:41Chloe.
00:42:43No.
00:42:43That is not how it happened.
00:42:46Remember now?
00:42:47You said it yourself.
00:42:49We need a scapegoat.
00:42:51Someone important enough
00:42:52and controllable enough.
00:42:54Then you said her name.
00:42:57So do not put all of this
00:42:58on me, Alistair.
00:43:00You sent your wife
00:43:01to hell with your own hands.
00:43:17I can carry it myself.
00:43:19It is windy today.
00:43:23Coffee after rehearsal?
00:43:25That new place you wanted to try
00:43:26with the chestnut cake?
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:29She smiled.
00:43:30In a world without me,
00:43:34she is so alive.
00:43:44What is it?
00:43:45Nothing.
00:43:56Chloe?
00:43:59Yes?
00:44:00There is something
00:44:00I have wanted to say
00:44:01for a long time.
00:44:02These three years,
00:44:03watching you rise from the wreckage
00:44:04and walk into the spotlight
00:44:05has been the greatest honor
00:44:06of my life.
00:44:07I admire your talent
00:44:08and I ache for how strong
00:44:10you have had to be.
00:44:11If you would let me,
00:44:12I want to stand by your side
00:44:14in the future,
00:44:14not only as your patron and friend.
00:44:17I want to stand by your side.
00:44:17Would you give me a chance?
00:44:24Julian, you are my dearest friend
00:44:27and the person I am most grateful to.
00:44:29Without you,
00:44:29I would not be who I am today.
00:44:31But my heart is a ruin.
00:44:34Nothing new grows there
00:44:35and no one deserves
00:44:36to step inside it again.
00:44:37I understand.
00:44:39Thank you for understanding.
00:44:41We can still be friends, right?
00:44:43Of course.
00:44:44Let us go try that chestnut cake.
00:44:52Sir, the flight departs
00:44:53in 45 minutes.
00:44:54We should head to the gate.
00:44:55The highly anticipated
00:44:56Voices of Hope charity concert
00:44:58will be held tonight
00:44:59at City Hall Concert Hall.
00:45:01Organizers recently confirmed
00:45:02that the stage build
00:45:03and lighting work
00:45:04will be handled
00:45:05by local contractor
00:45:06Pinnock Vision
00:45:07Run that contractor.
00:45:08Pinnock Vision.
00:45:09I want every background check
00:45:10and safety record.
00:45:14Found it.
00:45:16This company
00:45:17has three OSHA complaints
00:45:19and last year in Munich
00:45:20there was a serious stage collapse.
00:45:23How the hell could they hire me?
00:45:31Cancel the flight.
00:45:33But the meeting,
00:45:34cancel it now.
00:45:36Yes.
00:45:37I will handle it right away.
00:45:39She is still that little girl
00:45:40who needs someone
00:45:41watching over her.
00:45:43Without me,
00:45:43she cannot even protect herself.
00:45:45Chloe,
00:45:46please do not let
00:45:46anything happen to you.
00:45:59Chloe!
00:46:00Move!
00:46:01It is dangerous!
00:46:03No!
00:46:19Oh my god, call an ambulance!
00:46:23Are you, are you okay?
00:46:26Are you insane?
00:46:29As long as you are okay.
00:46:34Your arm?
00:46:37Just a scratch.
00:46:40Claire, are you hurt?
00:46:45Why are you here?
00:46:46You again?
00:46:47The contractor's records were bad.
00:46:50I found out, but
00:46:52I was half a step too late.
00:46:58Wipe it.
00:46:59Wipe it.
00:46:59Your hand.
00:47:08As long as you are safe.
00:47:10I asked about your injury.
00:47:12Surface wound.
00:47:13I will not die.
00:47:16About the chandelier,
00:47:18by the time I found the records,
00:47:19it was too late.
00:47:20I could only...
00:47:21run...
00:47:22You do not need to explain.
00:47:24I said thank you.
00:47:26That is all.
00:47:34Chloe.
00:47:35I got all the hospital records.
00:47:38That night,
00:47:39you were bleeding so much,
00:47:41lying on the floor,
00:47:42begging me.
00:47:44I held the papers
00:47:45and waited for you to sign.
00:47:46I waited 47 minutes.
00:47:49The doctor said I signed a consent
00:47:51for bleeding control,
00:47:53not surgical authorization.
00:47:56The baby's heartbeat
00:47:57stopped at minute 35.
00:48:01I delayed him to death.
00:48:03Shut up!
00:48:04What is the point of saying this now?
00:48:07There is no point.
00:48:09None at all.
00:48:13I just wanted Chloe to know
00:48:15Alistair found out everything.
00:48:18Victoria, the accident,
00:48:19and Alistair's own choices.
00:48:22Alistair was the source.
00:48:23My existence is the source
00:48:24of all your pain.
00:48:25Every time I come near you,
00:48:26you remember blood,
00:48:27you remember the child
00:48:28who never got to be born,
00:48:29you remember how filthy I am.
00:48:31So?
00:48:31So I disappear.
00:48:32It is the only thing
00:48:33I can still do for you.
00:48:35Alistair!
00:48:47Promise me we will not be apart
00:48:49for a hundred years.
00:48:51Not a hundred years.
00:48:54Forever, Chloe.
00:48:56Forever.
00:48:59Chloe, forgive me
00:49:00for being reckless,
00:49:01but I cannot fight this anymore.
00:49:03Will you marry me?
00:49:04Will you be my wife?
00:49:05I am just an ordinary girl.
00:49:07How could I ever be worthy of...
00:49:09Do not ever say that
00:49:09about yourself.
00:49:10To me,
00:49:10you are the most beautiful,
00:49:11purest woman in the world.
00:49:13You deserve everything.
00:49:18Alistair.
00:49:20Good.
00:49:21Go.
00:49:27It is over.
00:49:31Sir, please reconsider.
00:49:32These assets are to
00:49:33shake the entire industry,
00:49:34especially the Family Fund
00:49:35and Kurglutra
00:49:36and years of your life's work.
00:49:37I know.
00:49:37This is not just wealth.
00:49:38It is all your power
00:49:40and protection.
00:49:41Once you sign,
00:49:42there is no going back.
00:49:43Begin.
00:49:48The irreversible trust
00:49:49naming Miss Chloe Stangling
00:49:50as sole beneficiary
00:49:51is now officially in effect.
00:49:53It covers all equity,
00:49:55real estate,
00:49:56liquid assets,
00:49:56liquid assets,
00:49:57and family fund interests
00:49:58under your name.
00:49:59This is the copy.
00:50:00According to the terms,
00:50:01the trustee will notify the beneficiary
00:50:04at the appropriate time.
00:50:06She does not have to know.
00:50:08But you may leave.
00:50:23Chloe, this is the only thing
00:50:25I can still give you.
00:50:41Claire!
00:50:42Your playing was so beautiful!
00:50:44I want to be a cellist
00:50:46like you someday!
00:50:50Thank you, sweetheart.
00:50:51I love them.
00:50:53When you bowed just now,
00:50:54you kept looking over there.
00:50:56Was your music for someone
00:50:57who sat there?
00:50:58Like in a story?
00:51:00No.
00:51:03I don't know.
00:51:05I don't know.
00:51:05I don't know.
00:51:05I don't know.
00:51:05I don't know.
00:51:13It really is all over.
00:51:22Chloe, this arrived anonymously
00:51:23this morning.
00:51:24It is a family trust beneficiary transfer
00:51:28worth hundreds of billions.
00:51:30You are named the sole beneficiary.
00:51:36It is Alistair.
00:51:37Tell them I refuse.
00:51:39Chloe, do you understand
00:51:40what this means?
00:51:41An astronomical fortune
00:51:44and...
00:51:44in a way...
00:51:46In a way?
00:51:47Compensation?
00:51:48Or charity?
00:51:49Brody, I do not need it.
00:51:52Putting a price tag
00:51:53on a life with...
00:51:54Putting a price tag
00:51:55on a life with money?
00:51:57Alistair, you really
00:51:58have not changed.
00:51:59Send it back untouched.
00:52:01I do not need anything
00:52:02from him
00:52:03and I do not need
00:52:04to leave him any message.
00:52:17Who happens to tell her?
00:52:20How dare they?
00:52:22Right.
00:52:23Even the last thing
00:52:24she does not want it.
00:52:28Sir, we have news
00:52:29from the federal side.
00:52:30Miss Victoria
00:52:30has been released on bail.
00:52:32I am worried she...
00:52:32No, Chloe may be in danger.
00:53:00Chloe, what happened?
00:53:02What was that?
00:53:03Nothing.
00:53:03Just an old photo.
00:53:10This is not a prank, Chloe.
00:53:12This is dangerous.
00:53:14You cannot be alone.
00:53:15I am taking you home.
00:53:16I am fine.
00:53:18You have been busy lately
00:53:19and I have already
00:53:20caused you enough trouble.
00:53:22Call me if anything happens.
00:53:25I will.
00:53:29I will.
00:53:56Do not move.
00:53:58We only want your hand.
00:54:05How much did Victoria pay you?
00:54:07I will double it.
00:54:09Save it, Mrs. Sterling.
00:54:11We get paid to do a job
00:54:12and we follow rules.
00:54:31Alistair, you said you would disappear from my world.
00:54:34Why did you come back?
00:54:36How did this happen?
00:54:38Do not scare me like this.
00:54:40You are safe.
00:54:42Thank God.
00:54:43You are safe.
00:54:56Are you okay?
00:54:58Did they hurt your hand?
00:55:02I need to report a crime.
00:55:04South parking lot of the Vienna Concert Hall.
00:55:06Armed assault.
00:55:07Attempted intentional injury.
00:55:08The suspect is restrained.
00:55:10Also, this involves cross-border crime
00:55:11and a federal felony state voting case
00:55:13in New York from three years ago.
00:55:14I have the full chain of evidence.
00:55:18Watch him.
00:55:19Do not let anyone near him.
00:55:31Chloe, he is going to be okay.
00:55:44Doctor, how is he?
00:55:51The patient has lost too much blood.
00:55:53His blood pressure is barely detectable.
00:55:56He needs an emergency transfusion, but...
00:55:59But what?
00:56:01He is RH negative.
00:56:03The blood bank has no supply.
00:56:05His condition is critical
00:56:06and we must find a matching donor immediately.
00:56:08We have contacted every nearby hospital
00:56:10and blood center, but...
00:56:12Take mine.
00:56:14What?
00:56:15Do you hear yourself?
00:56:17You are going to save him?
00:56:19The man who nearly destroyed you?
00:56:22Anonymous.
00:56:22Do not record my name.
00:56:24Draw the blood
00:56:25and I leave immediately.
00:56:27If you agree,
00:56:28I will sign now.
00:56:30All right.
00:56:31Please sign the confidentiality agreement
00:56:33and consent form here.
00:56:35She really signed it.
00:56:41Why?
00:56:42He pushed you into hell
00:56:43and made you lose everything.
00:56:45Have you forgotten the baby?
00:56:48I am not saving him.
00:56:50I just...
00:56:51do not want to owe him a life.
00:56:53Three years ago,
00:56:54he gave me a home,
00:56:54then destroyed me with his own hands.
00:56:56Now I give him my blood back.
00:56:57From this moment on,
00:56:58we owe each other nothing.
00:57:02The stab wound is deep
00:57:04and he lost a lot of blood.
00:57:05We saved him,
00:57:06but whether he wakes up
00:57:07and when
00:57:07depends on his will and recovery.
00:57:09The next 24 hours are critical.
00:57:11Wake up.
00:57:12You think taking that knife
00:57:13and bleeding like this
00:57:14makes us even?
00:57:15You think because you are lying here
00:57:17I can forget my child?
00:57:18Forget every time you abandoned me
00:57:19for Victoria?
00:57:21I cannot forget.
00:57:22I cannot forget
00:57:23when the doctor told me
00:57:24the baby was gone,
00:57:25your signature was at the bottom
00:57:27of that document.
00:57:28So cold.
00:57:29So quick.
00:57:30What is this?
00:57:31You lying here?
00:57:32Repentance?
00:57:33Atonement?
00:57:34It is too late.
00:57:35My child is not coming back.
00:57:36The Chloe who once believed you
00:57:38in that practice room
00:57:38is not coming back either.
00:57:40Wake up.
00:57:41Look at me.
00:57:42I want you to see
00:57:43with your own eyes
00:57:43that without you,
00:57:44without the sterling name,
00:57:45I can still stand at the very top.
00:57:47I want you alive,
00:57:48fully awake,
00:57:49and remembering
00:57:50what you lost forever.
00:57:51Do not just die like this.
00:57:53You still owe me too much.
00:57:59You have to wake up.
00:58:02Alliston, you heard me.
00:58:04You are awake, are you not?
00:58:05Alliston!
00:58:09Direct flight to Zurich.
00:58:11Leaves in two hours.
00:58:11The studio and apartment
00:58:12there are ready.
00:58:15News just came from the States.
00:58:17Victoria's extradition is complete.
00:58:19She is being flown back
00:58:20this afternoon under escort.
00:58:21Federal felony?
00:58:22Multiple charges,
00:58:23including attempted murder,
00:58:25cross-border murder for here,
00:58:26and financial fraud.
00:58:27With stacked sentences,
00:58:28she is never getting out.
00:58:29Got it.
00:58:30That is your reaction?
00:58:32She almost ruined your life.
00:58:33It takes energy.
00:58:33I do not have any left,
00:58:35and I do not want to waste it here.
00:58:41You could even say that.
00:58:44I saved myself.
00:58:46From now on,
00:58:47I owe them nothing.
00:59:10Chloe, darling.
00:59:12What time is it?
00:59:13When did you change the bedroom?
00:59:15No.
00:59:16This is a hospital.
00:59:18Why am I in a hospital?
00:59:22Mr. Sterling,
00:59:23please do not move.
00:59:25I am fine.
00:59:27Where is Chloe?
00:59:28Where am I?
00:59:29Mr. Sterling,
00:59:30this is the ICU.
00:59:31You were stabbed
00:59:31and have been unconscious
00:59:32for four days.
00:59:33No.
00:59:34I clearly remember us
00:59:35watching the city lights
00:59:36on the rooftop last night.
00:59:38Sir,
00:59:39you need to lie down.
00:59:40You had internal bleeding
00:59:41and just came out of surgery.
00:59:43You need complete bed rest.
00:59:45Miss Chloe Sterling
00:59:46is not here.
00:59:47Not here?
00:59:48Where did she go?
00:59:49I heard she went to Zurich.
00:59:53Zurich?
00:59:54For work?
00:59:55Why did I not know?
00:59:58I do not know the details.
01:00:00I only heard she left.
01:00:01Maybe it is just
01:00:02a last-minute performance.
01:00:04Or she did not tell me
01:00:05because she wanted
01:00:06to surprise me.
01:00:08When is she coming back?
01:00:09I really do don't know.
01:00:11No.
01:00:12What is this feeling?
01:00:14It feels like I lost her.
01:00:15What the hell happened?
01:00:21Victoria already said
01:00:22she didn't mean it.
01:00:23Is it really worth
01:00:24making such a scene over now?
01:00:25I wrote every single note
01:00:26of this myself.
01:00:27This is two years
01:00:28of my hard work.
01:00:29Allison,
01:00:30you know that better
01:00:30than anyone.
01:00:31Hard work?
01:00:33Chloe,
01:00:34what are you really
01:00:34afraid of losing?
01:00:35This score
01:00:36or the status you built
01:00:38using it as a prop?
01:00:38A student
01:00:39from a common background
01:00:40who managed to crawl
01:00:41into the Sterling family
01:00:42through a marriage certificate.
01:00:44Who are you trying
01:00:45to impress
01:00:45with this wrong woman?
01:00:48Didn't you approach me
01:00:49in the first place
01:00:50for the money,
01:00:51the status,
01:00:52and the chance
01:00:52of climbing to the top?
01:00:57Cancel this surgery?
01:00:58You're going to kill
01:00:59our own flesh and blood
01:01:00just for Victoria?
01:01:01As long as you
01:01:02take the fall for the accident,
01:01:04we can have other children
01:01:04in the end.
01:01:07Why are these memories
01:01:08flooding my head?
01:01:10Where is Chloe?
01:01:12What...
01:01:12What did I do to her?
01:01:14Okay, okay, okay.
01:01:15Mr. Sterling,
01:01:16please calm down
01:01:18and stop thinking so hard.
01:01:19You need rest right now.
01:01:21You cannot get this agitated.
01:01:23Tell me,
01:01:24were those real?
01:01:26Did I...
01:01:26Did I do that to her?
01:01:28I...
01:01:28Please lie down first.
01:01:30I will get the doctor.
01:01:40The wound is healing well.
01:01:42No sign of infection.
01:01:44But the blood loss
01:01:45left you very weak.
01:01:46You need time to recover.
01:01:47Blood loss?
01:01:48Yes.
01:01:49When you were admitted,
01:01:50your condition was critical.
01:01:51Acute massive bleeding,
01:01:52hemogyme at a dangerous level.
01:01:54We performed
01:01:54an emergency transfusion.
01:01:55You were lucky.
01:01:56Someone volunteered
01:01:57to donate blood
01:01:58and saved your life.
01:01:59Who?
01:02:00I am sorry, Mr. Sterling.
01:02:02The donor signed
01:02:03a strict confidentiality agreement.
01:02:05We are not authorized
01:02:06to disclose that.
01:02:10Allison, look!
01:02:11We have the same blood type.
01:02:12What are the odds?
01:02:13It is rare.
01:02:14The odds
01:02:15feel like fate.
01:02:16So if anything ever happens
01:02:17to either of us,
01:02:18the other can be
01:02:19their blood bank, right?
01:02:20I do not say unlucky things,
01:02:21but yes,
01:02:22I will protect you
01:02:23any way I can.
01:02:27Chloe was here.
01:02:28Was Chloe not
01:02:30the donor?
01:02:31Was it Chloe?
01:02:31I cannot answer questions
01:02:32about visitors.
01:02:33You need rest.
01:02:36Tell me!
01:02:37Mr. Sterling,
01:02:38please calm down.
01:02:39Any information
01:02:40about the donor
01:02:41is legally protected.
01:02:49Mr. Sterling.
01:02:51There is an update
01:02:52on Ms. Thorne.
01:02:53The extradition process
01:02:54is complete.
01:02:55She was put on a flight
01:02:56back to New York
01:02:56under police escort
01:02:57this morning.
01:02:58What?
01:02:59Three days ago,
01:03:00the day after your surgery.
01:03:01Also,
01:03:02Chloe.
01:03:03The afternoon
01:03:04after Alistair's surgery
01:03:04ended and Alistair
01:03:05was confirmed out of danger,
01:03:06Chloe boarded a flight
01:03:07and left
01:03:07destination Zurich.
01:03:09Mr. Brody Cookup,
01:03:10Chloe's manager,
01:03:10Pumbrick,
01:03:10released her leg
01:03:11of Chloe's Odo tour schedule.
01:03:12That afternoon?
01:03:13Yes.
01:03:15Flight records show
01:03:16takeoff at 4.15 p.m.
01:03:17She gave blood
01:03:18and left
01:03:19without looking back.
01:03:21Should I
01:03:21contact Mrs. Sterling
01:03:23or try to obtain
01:03:24the details of her tour?
01:03:25No.
01:03:26She was right to leave.
01:03:29Court the crime,
01:03:30testify,
01:03:31donate blood,
01:03:32leave.
01:03:32Every step
01:03:33was calculated.
01:03:34Clean.
01:03:34She thinks even
01:03:35hating me
01:03:36is a waste.
01:03:41It was her.
01:03:43David.
01:03:44The person
01:03:45who gave me blood
01:03:45had to be her.
01:03:46The blood bank
01:03:47record is anonymous.
01:03:49We cannot confirm.
01:03:49I can feel it.
01:03:51My body
01:03:52knows her blood.
01:03:53No one but Chloe.
01:03:57Call her manager's number.
01:03:58Now.
01:03:59The doctor said
01:04:00you need complete rest
01:04:01and must avoid
01:04:02emotional stress.
01:04:03Call.
01:04:05Brody Cook speaking.
01:04:06Who is this?
01:04:07Mr. Cook,
01:04:08hello,
01:04:08this is David,
01:04:08Mr. Sterling's assistant.
01:04:09Mr. Sterling would like
01:04:10to speak with Mrs. Sterling.
01:04:11Ms. Claire Moreo
01:04:12is in intensive tour
01:04:13rehearsal in Zurich.
01:04:14Her schedule is full.
01:04:15She is not accepting
01:04:16any non-performance
01:04:16related call.
01:04:17Tell her it is me.
01:04:19Tell her I know
01:04:19it was her.
01:04:20That bag of blood,
01:04:21I know she gave it.
01:04:23If it is not business,
01:04:24do not disturb her.
01:04:25She has cut off
01:04:26even the chance
01:04:27for me to say thank you.
01:04:29I'm sorry.
01:04:30You think even
01:04:30hating me is a waste,
01:04:31do you?
01:04:32Even letting me
01:04:33confirm this debt
01:04:34feels like another
01:04:35form of harassment.
01:04:47Do not go.
01:04:49Move.
01:04:51Mr. Sterling,
01:04:52you need to be back
01:04:52at the hospital.
01:04:53I have heard enough
01:04:54from doctors.
01:04:55I'm not going anywhere.
01:04:56Brody,
01:04:57go confirm boarding.
01:04:59Chloe...
01:04:59Go!
01:05:02Let me
01:05:03stay by your side
01:05:05just this once.
01:05:07On what grounds?
01:05:08I...
01:05:10I paid back
01:05:11your blood.
01:05:12I saved your life.
01:05:13We are even.
01:05:15We are not.
01:05:16We never will be.
01:05:17Let go.
01:05:18I checked the flights.
01:05:19I know your next stop
01:05:20is Paris.
01:05:21Let me go with you.
01:05:22I will watch from far away.
01:05:23I swear I will not bother you.
01:05:24Alistair,
01:05:24listen carefully.
01:05:25You keep saying
01:05:26you want to protect me.
01:05:28But when my manuscript
01:05:28was destroyed,
01:05:29what did you do?
01:05:30When my baby was gone,
01:05:31what did you do?
01:05:32I...
01:05:33And now you want
01:05:34to stay by my side?
01:05:35Too late.
01:05:37Way too late.
01:05:39Do not follow me again.
01:05:41I want none of your guilt,
01:05:43none of your repentance.
01:05:44Then what do you want?
01:05:45Tell me!
01:05:48I will give you everything.
01:05:50The company,
01:05:51the shares,
01:05:51all of it.
01:05:54Chloe!
01:05:57I want you to disappear forever.
01:06:01Do not go.
01:06:02Please.
01:06:03Give me one chance,
01:06:05even if it is only
01:06:06to watch you from a distance.
01:06:09A chance.
01:06:10Three years ago,
01:06:11when I was bleeding,
01:06:12who gave me a chance?
01:06:13I...
01:06:13When I miscarried it,
01:06:15lying in that hospital bed,
01:06:16listening to lawyers
01:06:17read charges
01:06:18for crimes,
01:06:18I jetted it.
01:06:19I never committed.
01:06:21Who gave me a chance?
01:06:22I know I was wrong.
01:06:24I will spend the rest of my life...
01:06:25I do not want
01:06:26the rest of your life.
01:06:27Alistair.
01:06:28I just was want my peace.
01:06:29Chloe!
01:06:30What about our child?
01:06:31Can that be settled too?
01:06:33He never belonged to us.
01:06:35He belonged only to the me
01:06:37who lost him
01:06:38before he ever got
01:06:39to see the sun.
01:06:48Chloe!
01:06:49Sir, are you alright?
01:06:50Let me take you to...
01:06:53No, no.
01:06:54Chloe.
01:06:55Chloe.
01:07:04Sir, you are awake.
01:07:07You have been unconscious
01:07:08for five days.
01:07:10The doctor said
01:07:10your last unauthorized discharge
01:07:12seriously worsened the wound.
01:07:14You cannot keep doing this.
01:07:16You must rest.
01:07:17Where is Chloe now?
01:07:19Mrs. Sterling's tour team
01:07:20returns to the council.
01:07:21Vienna, Vienna, Vienna this afternoon.
01:07:24Sir!
01:07:24Get the car.
01:07:25Now.
01:07:26But your body...
01:07:27I said, now!
01:07:33Chloe!
01:07:34Why?
01:07:35Sir, backstage is not open to the public.
01:07:37Please wait for me for a moment.
01:07:42I have been looking for you.
01:07:44I was wrong.
01:07:45I will spend everything to atone.
01:07:47Your everything burned to ash
01:07:49three years ago.
01:07:50Everything I have now
01:07:51I earn myself,
01:07:52including my peace.
01:07:54So he can give you peace?
01:07:56Mrs. Sterling needs to prepare
01:07:57for her performance.
01:07:58Please leave.
01:07:59You let him touch your score.
01:08:01You let him stand beside you.
01:08:03And what am I?
01:08:11The blood?
01:08:12Chloe.
01:08:13Wait.
01:08:14The blood that saved my life?
01:08:16Was it yours?
01:08:20Yes.
01:08:21Why?
01:08:22You hate me.
01:08:23To repay a debt.
01:08:25What?
01:08:25Three years ago,
01:08:26you signed a paper
01:08:27and traded my life for hers.
01:08:29Now I repay you once.
01:08:31Blood for blood.
01:08:32Nothing owed.
01:08:33No.
01:08:34It is not a debt.
01:08:35I owe you
01:08:36and I can never repay it.
01:08:37It is a debt.
01:08:38It is paid.
01:08:39From now on,
01:08:40your blood,
01:08:41your wounds,
01:08:42whether you live or die,
01:08:43none of it has anything
01:08:44to do with me.
01:08:45I'm not gonna let you do this.
01:08:47Get the hell away from me!
01:08:49Let us go in.
01:09:09Oh, no.
01:09:10What is it?
01:09:12God, no.
01:09:13That is impossible.
01:09:15This...
01:09:16How could this string...
01:09:17I checked it yesterday.
01:09:19It was fine.
01:09:20And Chloe are always so careful.
01:09:22Accidents happen.
01:09:23It is not a big deal.
01:09:25Where are the spare strings?
01:09:26Did you bring an extra string?
01:09:29Here, here.
01:09:30I packed an extra set on purpose.
01:09:32It is staged in Aaliyah
01:09:32and then...
01:09:33When that...
01:09:34This...
01:09:35This is impossible.
01:09:36I kept it in the humidity patch.
01:09:38Do not panic.
01:09:40I will ask when the new cello arrives.
01:09:44What?
01:09:45The car broke down?
01:09:46Did you not guarantee
01:09:47it would be on time
01:09:48tomorrow morning at the earliest?
01:09:49Shit!
01:09:50I contacted a friend in Berlin.
01:09:51His workshop has strings
01:09:53in the same gauge,
01:09:54but driving them here
01:09:54will take at least four hours.
01:09:56Not enough time.
01:09:58Rehearsal is in two hours
01:09:59and the concert is tonight.
01:10:01Why now?
01:10:02Damn it!
01:10:12Claire's string snapped.
01:10:13The spare is oxidized, too.
01:10:15The new cello is still on the road
01:10:17and they cannot reach the maker.
01:10:18Wait.
01:10:19Whose string broke?
01:10:20Claire's?
01:10:21Sir.
01:10:22Backstage matters
01:10:22are not disclosed
01:10:23to unrelated people.
01:10:27Now tell me exactly what happened.
01:10:28It is Mrs. Claire,
01:10:30the principal cellist.
01:10:31Her main strings slapped
01:10:32during pre-show check.
01:10:33The spare is oxidized
01:10:35and unusable
01:10:36and the emergency replacement cello
01:10:38is delayed.
01:10:39It is bad.
01:10:40It is Chloe.
01:10:42Of course.
01:10:42She is still the little girl
01:10:44who needs my shelter.
01:10:46Only under my wing
01:10:47can she play safely.
01:10:48It is me.
01:10:49Use every resource.
01:10:51Find top-tier gut cello strings
01:10:52that can reach the Vienna Musikheim
01:10:54within two hours.
01:10:55Send a private jet to Berlin,
01:10:56then transfer by helicopter
01:10:58directly to the Musikheim Plaza.
01:11:00I want those strings
01:11:01in her hands
01:11:01before the concert starts.
01:11:06Chloe, do not panic.
01:11:08I already got the strings...
01:11:16The string...
01:11:17Did it not snap?
01:11:18It did.
01:11:19I sent a plane.
01:11:20The strings should be here.
01:11:21No need.
01:11:21I contacted the Luthori's workshop.
01:11:23They sent top strings
01:11:24by special car
01:11:24and brought an extra cello
01:11:25for trial use.
01:11:26When did you contact them?
01:11:28When I found the broken string.
01:11:29Brody made a few calls.
01:11:30Julian confirmed
01:11:31the workshop inventory.
01:11:32The car arrived 40 minutes ago.
01:11:33Good.
01:11:34As long as it is solved.
01:11:35Alistair,
01:11:36three years ago
01:11:36I lay in the hospital
01:11:37waiting for a consent form
01:11:38with your signature.
01:11:39Your signing was risky
01:11:39and you had to wait
01:11:40for the lawyers.
01:11:41Now one cello string breaks
01:11:42and you can immediately
01:11:43mobilize planes,
01:11:44clear logistics,
01:11:45and make an entire system
01:11:46move for you.
01:11:47Your help only appears
01:11:48when you think
01:11:48it is safe and convenient.
01:11:50My life and death,
01:11:51my career,
01:11:51had to run on your schedule.
01:11:52This time is different.
01:11:53It is the same.
01:11:54You always want to solve
01:11:55my problems your way,
01:11:56then you tell me
01:11:56how much you sacrifice.
01:11:57But I do not need it anymore.
01:11:59My problems are mine to solve.
01:12:01My way,
01:12:02on my time.
01:12:06These headlines,
01:12:08they will ruin her performance.
01:12:10What will she think of me?
01:12:11Sir, Mr. Brody Cook
01:12:12has just notified the press.
01:12:13Ms. Chloe is holding
01:12:14a press conference
01:12:15right up ahead.
01:12:15Ms. Chloe and Mr. Alistair
01:12:17Stellar ended their marriage
01:12:19three years ago.
01:12:20Now and in the future,
01:12:22there is no legal connection
01:12:23between them
01:12:24nor any private relations.
01:12:26Mr. Brody,
01:12:27I photographed Mr. Sterling
01:12:28here two mornings ago
01:12:29and wandering
01:12:29and he had contact
01:12:30with Ms. Chloe.
01:12:30Does this mean Mr. Sterling
01:12:31is trying to win her back?
01:12:32Mr. Sterling's actions
01:12:33are his personal choice.
01:12:34Ms. Chloe's position
01:12:35has been made clear
01:12:36in the statement.
01:12:37Her life and career
01:12:38are centered on music.
01:12:39My team is fully capable
01:12:41of handling
01:12:41every performance matter.
01:12:42Any outside
01:12:43uninvited involvement
01:12:44is unnecessary
01:12:45and unwelcome.
01:12:46As for the rest,
01:12:47private grievances
01:12:47are not worth
01:12:48public resources.
01:12:49My music will speak
01:12:50for itself.
01:12:51That is the end
01:12:52of the statement.
01:12:53Please focus
01:12:54on tonight's performance.
01:13:08Chloe!
01:13:10I know you can hear me!
01:13:15I saw the press conference.
01:13:17You said we were even.
01:13:19But how can I be even?
01:13:20The baby is gone
01:13:21because I signed.
01:13:23You almost died
01:13:24on that operating table
01:13:25because I stopped
01:13:25the doctors.
01:13:26I cannot repay those debts.
01:13:29You, you will not even
01:13:31give me your hate anymore.
01:13:33You treat me like
01:13:35some irrelevant stranger.
01:13:42Then tell me!
01:13:43How do I pay it back?
01:13:45Do you want this life?
01:13:49No.
01:13:52Just like this glass of water.
01:13:56Once it is poured out,
01:13:57I will not pick it back up.
01:14:00You could kneel
01:14:01until you die
01:14:02and it will not bring
01:14:03that child back.
01:14:04It will not bring back
01:14:05the me who trusted you
01:14:06three years ago.
01:14:23You should be gone now.
01:14:28You should be gone now.
01:14:47You should go to the hospital.
01:14:50I just do not want
01:14:51tomorrow's headline to say
01:14:52former Wall Street Kaidan
01:14:54bleeds to death
01:14:55outside ex-wife's apartment.
01:14:57So to you,
01:14:58I am just a nuisance?
01:15:00Noise.
01:15:01I hate unnecessary noise.
01:15:03I checked the medical records
01:15:04from back then.
01:15:04Every minute,
01:15:05I remember
01:15:05when the doctor
01:15:06recommended surgery.
01:15:07I checked my watch
01:15:07three times.
01:15:08I was calculating risk,
01:15:09time,
01:15:10and legal consequences.
01:15:11I know.
01:15:11I know exactly
01:15:12how long you calculated.
01:15:13You do not know what I...
01:15:13Long enough for me
01:15:14to lose half my blood
01:15:15and long enough
01:15:15for an eight-week
01:15:16Ambrose heartbeat
01:15:16to stop forever.
01:15:17Those fragments
01:15:18from back then
01:15:19replay in my head
01:15:20every day.
01:15:21Then let them
01:15:22keep playing.
01:15:22That is your business.
01:15:23But do not die, dear.
01:15:25Get up.
01:15:25I will call a car
01:15:26to take you to the hospital.
01:15:27I am not going.
01:15:29Keep yourself.
01:15:30Wait!
01:15:38My sins
01:15:40can only be washed
01:15:42clean with blood.
01:15:43Is this
01:15:44enough?
01:15:45Put the knife down.
01:15:50Tell me
01:15:53how much blood
01:15:54is enough?
01:15:56Is this life
01:15:58enough to pay?
01:15:59Your life
01:16:00has no value
01:16:01to me now.
01:16:02Then what has value?
01:16:03Tell me.
01:16:04What can I still give?
01:16:05I want nothing.
01:16:08Especially nothing
01:16:09from you.
01:16:10Then watch me die.
01:16:12You are forcing me again.
01:16:14No.
01:16:15This time
01:16:15I choose it myself.
01:16:17You just watch.
01:16:19Take it as
01:16:20a late offering.
01:16:22Let go.
01:16:24Let me.
01:16:25I said let go!
01:16:33Your blood cannot
01:16:34wash anything clean.
01:16:35It will only
01:16:36stay in this street.
01:16:37Then what?
01:16:38What the hell
01:16:39am I supposed to do?
01:16:44At the very least,
01:16:46you should not be
01:16:47kneeling here
01:16:48trying to die.
01:16:56stop!
01:16:59Stop it.
01:17:02Is it enough?
01:17:04Is this life
01:17:05enough to pay?
01:17:08Put the knife down.
01:17:10Say it first.
01:17:11Is it enough?
01:17:12I said put the knife down!
01:17:15The baby is not
01:17:16coming back.
01:17:18You could bleed yourself
01:17:19dry and he still
01:17:20would not come back.
01:17:21When I was lying
01:17:22on the operating table
01:17:23waiting for your signature,
01:17:25he was already gone.
01:17:27What you are doing now
01:17:28has no meaning.
01:17:30None of it has
01:17:31any meaning anymore.
01:17:34We are even.
01:17:36I forgive you.
01:17:39What did you say?
01:17:45I forgive you.
01:17:46No.
01:17:48Chloe, do not
01:17:49do not forgive me.
01:17:51I do not deserve it.
01:17:52It is not for you.
01:17:53It is for me.
01:17:55I have to move forward.
01:17:56Move forward.
01:17:57Good.
01:17:59You go.
01:18:00Do not look back.
01:18:02But do not forgive me.
01:18:03Please.
01:18:04The baby will not
01:18:05come back.
01:18:06The blood I lost
01:18:07cannot be returned.
01:18:09None of this helps.
01:18:10I know.
01:18:11I know it does not help.
01:18:13But I do not
01:18:13hate you anymore.
01:18:15Hate is exhausting.
01:18:16From now on,
01:18:17we are even.
01:18:19Even.
01:18:20Okay.
01:18:21Even.
01:18:22Never see me again.
01:18:24Chloe.
01:18:25Live well.
01:18:32Mr. Sterling.
01:18:35Mr. Sterling.
01:18:37Hold on.
01:18:39I am calling an ambulance
01:18:40right now.
01:18:41Chiloui.
01:18:42What?
01:18:44Chiloui.
01:18:54Sir, you are awake.
01:18:56The doctor said
01:18:56you lost too much blood,
01:18:57but thank God
01:18:58you have been unconscious
01:18:59for two days.
01:19:01Miss Chloe, she...
01:19:01David.
01:19:02Yes, sir.
01:19:03I will not go
01:19:04looking for her again.
01:19:06She said we are even.
01:19:08I should let go.
01:19:23Ashes should look like ashes.
01:19:29They adjusted the sound post overnight.
01:19:32Want to try it?
01:19:36It is quiet.
01:19:38More reliable than people.
01:19:45Time to go stage.
01:20:10The strings will never
01:20:11tremble for lies again.
01:20:13This first note
01:20:14is both a funeral
01:20:15and a rebirth.
01:20:15Every accident
01:20:17is the echo
01:20:17of a golden cage
01:20:18shattering.
01:20:19What he destroyed
01:20:20was never just a child.
01:20:21My blood
01:20:22ever so lost.
01:20:24It all burns
01:20:25inside this night.
01:20:27There is no place
01:20:28to breathe in the ashes.
01:20:33There is no going back.
01:20:38Look, Alistair.
01:20:39Without you,
01:20:40I still stand in the light
01:20:42and this light
01:20:42will never shine from you.
01:20:45Am I imagining it?
01:20:48I think I saw Alistair.
01:20:55I think I saw Alistair.
01:21:04Claire,
01:21:05these flowers are for you.
01:21:06Who asked you to bring them?
01:21:08I brought them myself.
01:21:11I brought them myself.
01:21:11White lilies of the valley.
01:21:13We had a pot
01:21:13on the balcony
01:21:14of the New York apartment.
01:21:15It died.
01:21:18They are beautiful.
01:21:19I will keep them.
01:21:20From a fan?
01:21:22Let me check them.
01:21:23No need.
01:21:24You know who sent them.
01:21:26I do.
01:21:27Then why accept them?
01:21:28The flowers are innocent.
01:21:31The person who sent them
01:21:32has nothing to do with me.
01:21:35Sir,
01:21:36she accepted them.
01:21:37She said they were beautiful.
01:21:39Thank you, little angel.
01:21:42This is your reward.
01:21:43Go buy yourself some candy.
01:21:45Thank you, sir.
01:21:56Mr. Sterling,
01:21:57at the current rate
01:21:58of progression,
01:21:59a conservative estimate
01:22:00gives you
01:22:00about three months.
01:22:02Understood.
01:22:06Mr. Sterling,
01:22:07the will you requested
01:22:08has been drafted
01:22:08according to your final wishes.
01:22:09Under the terms,
01:22:10all assets under your name,
01:22:11after taxes and fees,
01:22:12will be transferred
01:22:13to the anonymous donor X account
01:22:14and ultimately donated
01:22:15to the Global Fund
01:22:16for Women Artists.
01:22:17No individual beneficiary
01:22:18is named.
01:22:22The process is complete.
01:22:24I will hold the original.
01:22:25Mr. Sterling,
01:22:26please take care.
01:22:35This is better.
01:22:59Excuse me, sir.
01:23:01Could you tell me,
01:23:02is this the right direction
01:23:04to the Julie Hart School?
01:23:05Wrong side.
01:23:06Across the platform.
01:23:09I just got to New York.
01:23:11Your cuff links.
01:23:13They are beautiful.
01:23:27It's that wrong way.
01:23:30We both went the wrong way.
01:23:32You
