00:02My husband and my best friend, the two people I loved most in this world.
00:13I was falling. I felt myself die. But I'm here.
00:23Emily Carter! Everyone in this school knows I like you. Today in front of everyone I'm saying it.
00:28One day I'm gonna marry you. Be my girl!
00:33Oh my god! The most handsome guy in school is proposing!
00:37I would have said yes in a heartbeat!
00:41That ring, it's the same one. The hands that pushed me, they were his.
00:50Was that a warning? A glimpse of what's coming?
00:54If everything I saw is my future, then I am not walking into it. Not this man. Not this life.
01:02What's wrong, babe? Too shocked to speak?
01:04No.
01:06What did you say?
01:07I said no. I'd rather die than marry you.
01:14She rejected? Is she crazy? She just dumped Brandon in public?
01:19Emily, are you kidding me?
01:20I'm not kidding. Stay away from me.
01:32Opportunity is here.
01:38What was that scene all about? Was it a warning from fate? It felt so real. It scared me.
01:44If I marry Brandon, I'll be deceived by him for ten years. And in the end, he and Chloe will
01:50push me off a building together.
01:53Too bad. Fate showed me everything. I've seen all your cards. Don't think you'll get away with this.
02:00Dad's company. Mom's meth. Chloe's schemes. I remember all of it. In those years, I kept everything going by myself.
02:07Everything I learned.
02:08This time, I'm using it all against them.
02:11Em, are you in there? Are you crazy? Rejecting Brandon in public? Do you know how many girls want to
02:16marry him?
02:17So? Chloe, are you so desperate to get me back with him for my sake or because you want him
02:21for yourself?
02:21What are you talking about? I'm your best friend. Then you better remember what best friend means. Pretending to be
02:27so pure.
02:28Brandon will be mine sooner or later.
02:39Don't trust Brandon! He's lying to you!
02:49Why is the queen sitting next to that weirdo? Ethan, that bookworm nobody pays attention to?
03:01Y-you sat down in the wrong spot?
03:03No, I wanted to sit here.
03:04Everyone's staring. You're Emily Carter. Sitting with me isn't good for your reputation.
03:08I decide what's good for my reputation.
03:11What's this?
03:12Nothing. Just an algorithm. No one understands it.
03:14Recursive optimization? You're working on a data compression model?
03:17Y-you understand this? The whole faculty says I'm wasting my time.
03:20They're wrong. This is gonna be worth a lot of money someday.
03:22Ethan, remember what you're writing today. It's gonna change your life.
03:30Brandon, the video of Emily rejecting you in public is everywhere.
03:33The whole school is laughing at you.
03:35Laughing? You don't get it. She's playing hard to get.
03:37Playing hard to get? She slapped you in the face.
03:40What girl doesn't want me? She just wants me to chase her a little longer, keep her guessing.
03:44Mark my words, within a week, she'll come crawling back to me.
03:47But, she said she'd rather die than marry you.
03:50That doesn't sound like playing hard to get.
03:52Girls always say the opposite of what they mean.
03:54Trust me. I know how they think.
03:56Why is she suddenly hanging out with Ethan?
03:59That loser. She's just using him to make me jealous.
04:04Babe, I don't blame you for what happened yesterday. I know you're under a lot of pressure. Let's start over,
04:09okay?
04:09Start over what?
04:10Us. I forgive you. Everyone makes mistakes.
04:13Brandon, do you even hear yourself?
04:14Come on, babe. I know deep down you still want me.
04:19Brandon?
04:19Yeah.
04:24Oops. My hand slipped.
04:26Emily! Are you crazy? This jacket is expensive!
04:30More expensive than your face?
04:32You'll regret humiliating me like this.
04:34The only thing I regret is wasting one minute talking to you.
04:37I'll pay for this.
04:44Did you hear? Emily didn't reject Brandon because she found herself a rich older guy outside school.
04:49No wonder she doesn't want a student anymore.
04:58You started this rumor, didn't you?
05:00What rumor? I haven't said anything.
05:03Chloe, you better not push me.
05:05Push you how?
05:07People are spreading this on their own. What does it have to do with me?
05:11Emily, your reputation is ruined now. No one's gonna help you.
05:15Reputation? Speaking of reputation.
05:17Everyone thinks Chloe is such a sweet, kind senior, right?
05:20But did you know, last semester, Lily wasn't expelled for cheating at all.
05:27Don't slander me.
05:29Someone tampered with Lily's exam paper.
05:31Then they planted a USB drive full of cheating answers in her bag.
05:34That USB drive, it's still in locker number three in the gym.
05:37The code is Chloe's birthday.
05:38Really?
05:39Let's go check it out!
05:43You...
05:44How do you know that?
05:47A USB drive? There's really a USB drive?
05:50So I can clear my name now, right?
05:52It's real!
05:53It's real!
05:53Right there in the locker with Chloe's birthday code!
05:56Chloe!
05:57I thought you were my best friend!
05:59Why would you do this to me?
06:02It's not me.
06:04This is a setup.
06:10The access logs for the lockers, the times the card was swiped, all matched Chloe's card to complete edits.
06:15You already looked into this?
06:17I saw her targeting you, so I kept an eye out.
06:25This is just the beginning.
06:28This is just the beginning.
06:35The tech innovation competition.
06:37For the team project, I want to team up with you.
06:39Why me?
06:40Everyone thinks I'm some anti-social freak?
06:43Because you can win.
06:45Win?
06:46The teachers say I'm wasting my time on this stuff.
06:48No one believes in me.
06:50They don't understand it.
06:51That doesn't mean it's useless.
06:54Ethan, the way you see the world, it's not like anyone else's.
06:57You don't think it's strange?
07:00It's not strange.
07:01It's genius.
07:02No one's ever said that to me before.
07:04People only ever called me a weirdo, a loner.
07:06My foster family couldn't wait to get rid of me.
07:08Then they're all blind.
07:10One day, the same people who laugh at you now will line up just to work with you.
07:17You really believe that?
07:18You barely know me.
07:20I know enough.
07:22I know you stay in this lab till midnight when everyone else has gone home.
07:27I know you solve problems the teachers can't even read.
07:31That's not nothing, Ethan.
07:33That's everything.
07:34Why do you care so much?
07:36You're Emily Carter.
07:37You could team up with... with anyone.
07:40Because I don't want anyone.
07:42I want the one who's going to change everything.
07:45Team up with me.
07:47Trust me.
07:48We can take first place.
07:50But if we lose, everyone will say it's because of me.
07:52They'll drag you down too.
07:53We won't lose.
07:54And even if the whole world doubts you, I won't.
07:58Not ever.
08:02Okay.
08:03I'm in.
08:04Partners.
08:14That nerd.
08:16Wow.
08:17Emily turned you down just to hook up with Ethan?
08:19That's gotta sting.
08:21She's just confused.
08:23She'll come to her senses.
08:24Will she?
08:25Look at them.
08:26She's smiling at him like that.
08:28When was the last time she ever smiled at you?
08:32Brennan, some women just don't know what's good for them.
08:35You've got someone right here who actually understands you.
08:40You're not so.
08:43You're not so.
08:44You're.
08:45Oh, yeah.
08:52That's not good for it.
08:53You're my one and only.
08:53You're my one and only.
08:57You're my one and only.
08:58You're not so quite authentic.
08:59You're my one and only.
09:07You're my one and only.
09:07Touched?
09:10Disgusting.
09:10Emily, what do I have to do to get you back?
09:13Roses, songs, gifts, just name it.
09:16You really want to know?
09:17Yes, tell me!
09:20Disappear from my life.
09:21That's the only thing I want from you.
09:25You'll regret this.
09:26No other guy will ever treat you the way I do.
09:29I'm the most popular guy in this school!
09:31Popular?
09:32That just means more people get to watch you make a fool of yourself.
09:35I'm not coming back.
09:36Get that through your head.
09:47Brandon getting shot down again.
09:49This is the third time this week.
09:58Rejected again?
10:00She wasn't like this before.
10:01She used to love me.
10:02She used to look at me like I was her whole world.
10:03People change, but some people have been right beside you all along and you just never noticed.
10:08Brandon, at least I understand you.
10:10I've always understood you.
10:11Why is she so different now?
10:12It's like she's a completely different person.
10:14Forget her.
10:14Some people just aren't worth chasing.
10:16I'm right here.
10:21Even faster than last time.
10:23Good.
10:23Get together on your own saves me the trouble.
10:26Last life, you two destroyed me together.
10:27This time, you'll destroy each other.
10:39Chloe, there's a case of champagne in the storage room.
10:41Brandon said to have you bring it.
10:43He's waiting inside.
10:45He's looking for me?
10:47Yeah.
10:48He seemed like he really wanted to see you.
10:51Go on.
10:52I knew it.
10:54He's finally giving up on you.
10:55Looks like it.
10:57Don't keep him waiting.
11:01Walk right into it.
11:03Just like you always do.
11:07You wanted to see me?
11:10I didn't call you.
11:12Doesn't matter who called who.
11:14Perfect timing.
11:16No one else around.
11:17I'll keep you company.
11:21Chloe.
11:23You're always here when she's not.
11:26Because I'm the one who actually cares.
11:30Perfect.
11:34You've been setting something up all night.
11:37You noticed?
11:38Hard not to.
11:39You moved Chloe toward the storage room.
11:41You timed it exactly when Brandon was alone and drunk.
11:44You're sharper than people give you credit for.
11:46Emily, you've changed a lot lately.
11:48Calm.
11:49Decisive.
11:50Like you already know how everything's going to play out.
11:52Something like that.
11:53I just woke up early.
11:55Woke up from what?
11:58From a very long, very bad dream.
12:01I don't know what you're going through.
12:03But whatever you're fighting,
12:05I want you to know
12:07you're not alone.
12:09I'm with you.
12:14You don't even know what you're getting into.
12:17I don't need to.
12:18I just need it to be you.
12:26Emily, someone has reported you for cheating on the midterm exam.
12:30This cheat sheet was found under your seat.
12:33The handwriting matches yours.
12:35Emily, I didn't want to believe it either,
12:38but the evidence is all here.
12:40If you admit it, the punishment might be lighter.
12:44Chloe, you're a good actress.
12:46I'm just trying to help you.
12:50Principal, there's definitely something wrong with this cheat sheet.
12:53But the problem isn't me.
12:55First, the handwriting mimics mine,
12:57but the way the A is written is wrong.
12:59I always write in cursive.
13:01Second,
13:01the security footage shows when I handed in my paper,
13:04there was nothing under my desk.
13:05This cheat sheet was planted
13:07after I'd already left.
13:09Then who put it there?
13:17I can answer that.
13:18This is a backup of the classroom security footage.
13:20After the exam ended,
13:21one person was the last to leave
13:23and lingered at Emily's seat for 20 seconds.
13:25Chloe!
13:26It was you?
13:30No!
13:31Emily set me up!
13:32Chloe, why can't you ever win against me?
13:35How do you always know?
13:37How do you see it every single time?
13:40Because I've already seen you lose everything.
13:44Chloe,
13:45you're receiving a formal demerigage.
13:47Your parents will be notified immediately.
13:49Emily,
13:50the school clears your name.
13:59I'll walk you home.
14:00You'll get wet.
14:02It's fine.
14:02I'm used to it.
14:04Used to it?
14:05No one ever came to pick me up
14:06with an umbrella.
14:07I've walked home in the rain plenty of times.
14:11Then today,
14:13you don't walk alone.
14:18Ethan,
14:19thank you for helping me today.
14:22At the hearing,
14:23if you hadn't showed up with that evidence...
14:26You don't have to thank me.
14:27I just didn't want to see you get wrongfully accused.
14:29Why?
14:30You barely know me.
14:31You could have stayed out of it.
14:33Because you were the first person who ever looked at me like I mattered.
14:36The least I can do is have your back.
14:47The truth is,
14:48I treated you badly.
14:51Emily.
14:52But we've barely ever spoken.
14:54Let's just say,
14:55I owe you an apology.
14:56A big one.
14:58Emily,
14:58you're talking,
14:59there's a whole history between us that I don't remember.
15:02Maybe there is.
15:04Maybe I just want to do things differently this time.
15:08Different how?
15:10This time,
15:11I see you.
15:18Emily!
15:19You're benching me for this book net!
15:24She told you to stay away from her.
15:27Who do you think you are?
15:29An orphan with no parents?
15:32You think you deserve to stand next to her?
15:34I may have no parents,
15:36but at least I've never forced a girl to be with me.
15:40You...
15:42Brandon,
15:43he's a hundred times better than you.
15:46He's drenched right now just to keep me dry.
15:50You?
15:51You drove here drunk just to humiliate me.
15:54You'll regret this!
15:56Both of you!
15:57My only regret is ever knowing you.
16:04Let's go.
16:05He's not worth standing in the rain for.
16:12Here it comes.
16:13Last life,
16:14this was when Dad signed that contract.
16:16Six months later,
16:17the company was gutted.
16:18Not this time.
16:22Old friend,
16:23sign it.
16:24This is your only chance to save your company.
16:33Dad,
16:33don't sign it.
16:34Emily?
16:34Why are you back?
16:35This is grown-up business.
16:36Clause 7.
16:37If quarterly revenue fails to reach 85% of the target,
16:41Party B has the right to activate the bet agreement.
16:45Dad,
16:45they can raise that target anytime they want.
16:50Clos 12.
16:51Core technology intellectual property will be shared during the cooperation period.
16:56Shared means free.
16:58Three months from now,
17:00your patents will belong to Hayes.
17:05The appendix.
17:06If targets are missed for two consecutive quarters,
17:09controlling interest transfers automatically.
17:12Dad,
17:12this isn't an investment,
17:13it's a trap.
17:14Sign this,
17:15and within six months,
17:16you'll lose the entire company.
17:22Miss Carter,
17:23you're a high school student.
17:24How do you understand corporate trowks like this?
17:26Mr. Hayes,
17:27you probably don't know.
17:28I won first place in a school business competition.
17:32Looks like we won't be signing today.
17:35Carter,
17:35think it over and get back to me.
17:37Smart girl.
17:38But being too smart
17:39isn't always a good thing.
17:42Thanks for the warning.
17:48Emily.
17:50I almost signed this.
17:52How did you-
17:52Dad,
17:53from now on,
17:54let me review any partnership with Hayes before you sign.
18:01First step blocked.
18:03But Hayes won't give up.
18:05He'll find another way to come after us.
18:15Emily,
18:16we have a huge problem.
18:17Someone hacked our financial system.
18:19All our records have been tampered with.
18:23It looks like I've been cooking the books.
18:29Hayes made his move.
18:31What?
18:31He couldn't get the contract signed,
18:33so now he's using dirty tactics.
18:36Manufacturing evidence to accuse you of fraud
18:38and force you to give up the company.
18:39But the data's been altered.
18:41How can I prove my innocence?
18:44Ethan,
18:45I need you.
18:46Come to Carter Industries.
18:48Now.
18:51The hack wasn't clean.
18:53The people they hired aren't that skilled.
18:55Can you trace it back to the source?
18:57Already did.
19:01The IP points to an internal server at Hayes Group.
19:04And that's not all.
19:05I found their hidden accounts,
19:07illegal fund transfers,
19:08tax evasion.
19:09The numbers are huge.
19:12They messed with the wrong people.
19:13This is who you really are.
19:16What?
19:18Nothing.
19:19Can you restore the original data?
19:22Already restoring it?
19:24I've backed up all the tampering records
19:25and the hack traces.
19:26Solid evidence of Hayes attacking us.
19:30Who is this kid?
19:32He's a genius.
19:34A genius everyone overlooked.
19:50What's this?
19:52Drinking alone?
19:55None of your business.
19:57Brandon, we're in the same boat now.
20:01Emily embarrassed you.
20:03She ruined my reputation.
20:06We have the same enemy.
20:08We have the same enemy.
20:13What do you say?
20:19Let's team up.
20:20You help me take down Ethan.
20:22Without that nerd backing her up,
20:23Emily is nothing.
20:24And I'll help you drive Emily back to you.
20:28You think you can beat her?
20:29Remember how badly she destroyed you last time?
20:31I underestimated her last time,
20:33not this time.
20:33I'm going to destroy that loser.
20:35Get him expelled.
20:37Without Ethan,
20:38Emily is a cat without claws.
20:41Go on.
20:42We both want the same thing,
20:44to make Emily Carter regret everything.
20:51Finally together.
20:53Just like last life.
20:55Just three years earlier.
20:57Got it.
20:58Bring it on.
20:59You two killed me in my last life.
21:03This time,
21:05let's see what you've got.
21:14Ethan cheated?
21:16No way.
21:17Maybe he did.
21:18How could a nobody like she
21:19come up with something that impressive?
21:24Chloe made her move.
21:26Someone planted a piece of code in my project.
21:28It matches a public paper from MIT.
21:29That isn't mine.
21:32I know.
21:33We'll prove it at the hearing.
21:34Ethan,
21:35a section of your submitted code
21:36is identical to a published MIT paper.
21:39How do you explain that?
21:40That code wasn't written by me.
21:42It was planted.
21:46Do you have evidence?
21:49I do.
21:52First,
21:53this is the version history of Ethan's project.
21:55Every change has a timestamp.
21:57The plagiarized code
21:58was inserted from an external IP
22:00two hours before the submission deadline
22:02at a time when Ethan was in class with me.
22:04A dozen students can testify.
22:07Second,
22:08the IP address used to insert the code
22:10traces back to a public computer
22:11in the school library.
22:14And the logon records
22:15from that time period show
22:21someone deliberately tampered
22:22with a contestant's project files
22:24to fabricate plagiaring.
22:25This isn't academic discon,
22:26it's malicious framing.
22:27I extracted the complete operation logs
22:29from the submission system.
22:30Every single tampering action
22:31is documented.
22:33Ethan Cole is cleared of all suspicion.
22:35The school will take serious action
22:37against malicious tampering
22:38with academic systems.
22:44Emily,
22:45every time I'm in trouble,
22:46you show up.
22:48Because you're worth it.
23:03You wanted to see me?
23:07I need to tell you something.
23:09I've been holding it in for too long.
23:13Three years, Emily.
23:14From the first day of freshman year,
23:16when you walked into that classroom,
23:17I couldn't stop watching you.
23:19But you're Emily Carter.
23:20Every guy in school wants you.
23:21And I was nothing.
23:23A nobody.
23:24How could I ever speak up?
23:26I never thought you'd even know my name.
23:28Let alone fight the whole school for me
23:30and stand up for me at that hearing.
23:32I've watched you for three years, Emily.
23:34I never thought you'd even know my name.
23:37Let alone fight for me.
23:46Ethan,
23:48I'm sorry.
23:51What are you sorry for?
23:55Because it took me too long to really see you.
23:57I'm sorry.
23:58Sorry it took me so long to see you.
24:05Not this time.
24:07I won't miss you again.
24:20Ethan, do you know?
24:21You're going to be someone really important someday.
24:24How do you know?
24:26Woman's intuition.
24:28What about you?
24:29What will you become?
24:33Someone who's great.
24:34With you.
24:44No, you can't choose him.
24:46How could you choose him?
24:53Did you see?
24:54Emily and Ethan are together.
24:56They even kissed.
24:58That nerd?
24:59Emily's taste is getting harder to understand.
25:11When did this happen?
25:14Yesterday,
25:15someone took it on the rooftop.
25:29You and that orphan.
25:33Is it true?
25:34Yes.
25:35What's so great about him?
25:37He has nothing.
25:38No money,
25:39no background.
25:39No one respects him.
25:43How am I not better than him?
25:45You want to know?
25:47Tell me.
25:50He has a real heart.
25:55He's loyal.
25:57He never lies.
25:59And you,
26:00everything you pretend to be,
26:02it's all fake.
26:06I really care about you.
26:08Really care?
26:10Brandon,
26:10you never loved me.
26:12You loved owning me.
26:14To you,
26:15I was just a trophy.
26:16Like your fancy cars and watches.
26:22Too bad.
26:23I was never yours.
26:34Emily,
26:35you'll regret this.
26:45Isn't she the one who got written up for framing someone?
26:48She still dares to show her face.
26:50Just pretending,
26:51trying to look like a good person.
27:01You trying to push me down the stairs?
27:03No,
27:04I was trying to catch you.
27:05Catch me?
27:06You pushed me from behind,
27:07that's what you call catching?
27:09You're lying.
27:10No one saw it.
27:11No one saw it?
27:14I pulled the live feed from the stairhole security camera.
27:17Oh my God,
27:18she really tried to push Emily down the stairs?
27:20This is supposed to be a good senior?
27:22She's trying to hurt people.
27:23You've all been fooled by Emily.
27:25She's the fake one.
27:27She's been manipulating all of you.
27:29Chloe,
27:29you've worn that mask long enough.
27:31Time to take it off.
27:34Just like last time.
27:36Pushing me from behind again.
27:45Dear Emily,
27:46if you're reading this,
27:47it means I'm gone.
27:48There's something I have to tell you.
27:51Our family and the Hayes family used to be partners.
27:56But your father's patent,
27:57it was stolen by Mr. Hayes.
27:59He built his entire Hayes group on that technology.
28:03I have the evidence.
28:05I was about to expose him,
28:08but I was afraid.
28:10Afraid he'd come after us.
28:13Emily,
28:13remember this.
28:14Never trust anyone from the Hayes family.
28:19Stole the patent?
28:21Built his empire?
28:23So last life,
28:24the man I married,
28:25Brandon,
28:26his father was the one who killed my mom
28:28and destroyed our family?
28:29I slept next to my enemy's son for 10 years?
28:32So the debt is even bigger than I thought.
28:34Mr. Hayes,
28:34this life,
28:35I'm taking it all back
28:36with interest.
28:41Ethan,
28:41I need you to look into someone for me.
28:43Mr. Hayes,
28:44everything from 20 years ago.
28:46Brandon's dad?
28:47Why him?
28:48He stole my family's patent
28:49and he might have killed my mother.
28:51Send me the address.
28:53I'll come over right now.
28:54We're seeing this through together.
29:08Emily,
29:09why are you at the office?
29:10Dad,
29:10you haven't signed this investment contract
29:12with Hayes Group yet,
29:13have you?
29:13I was just about to.
29:15The company's cash flow is almost gone.
29:16They're the only ones willing to invest.
29:18Look at Clause 7,
29:19Clause 12,
29:20and the AndEx bet agreement.
29:21If the company fails to meet targets
29:23for a single quarter,
29:24controlling interest
29:24automatically transfers to Hayes.
29:26Dad,
29:26this is a trap.
29:27They're trying to swallow Carter for nothing.
29:29These...
29:30These claws are buried so deep,
29:31I didn't even notice them.
29:32How does a high school student
29:33understand this stuff?
29:35Dad,
29:35don't sign it.
29:36Give me three days.
29:37I'll find you a new partner.
29:38But the company can't wait that long.
29:40Trust me.
29:41Just this once.
29:56Carter,
29:57Carter,
29:57you found yourself a new backer.
29:58Thanks to my daughter.
30:02Mr. Hayes,
30:03it's been a pleasure working with you.
30:05I hope we'll have more opportunities
30:06in the future.
30:07You're just a kid.
30:09How did you see through
30:10every single trap in my contract?
30:13Maybe I'm smarter than you think.
30:18Interesting.
30:19This girl is not ordinary.
30:32Is the video ready?
30:34Don't worry.
30:35Once she gets on stage,
30:36I'll play it.
30:37After that,
30:38she's finished at this school.
30:48Wow,
30:49Emily looks stunning tonight.
30:50Ethan is so handsome too.
30:52I barely recognized him.
31:01And so it begins.
31:03Once Emily gets on stage,
31:05we'll play that fake video
31:06and destroy her.
31:07Ruin her reputation.
31:08Then let's see
31:09if she still dares
31:10to be with that orphan.
31:14No!
31:15This is impossible!
31:16How did our video
31:17turn into this?
31:20You wanted to destroy me?
31:22First,
31:23ask yourselves
31:23if you're clean.
31:24So it was Brandon and Chloe
31:25trying to hurt Emily
31:26this whole time?
31:28That's disgusting!
31:30This show is over.
31:32This time,
31:34I win.
31:42It's me.
31:43Look into a girl for me.
31:44Emily Carter,
31:45I want to know
31:45who she really is.
31:46An 18-year-old girl
31:47can't be this flawless.
31:48She's hiding something.
31:57Mr. Hayes,
31:58I've been looking into
31:59Emily Carter
31:59for a whole week
32:00like you asked.
32:01And?
32:02On the surface,
32:02she's just an ordinary
32:03high school student.
32:04Clean family background,
32:06no connections.
32:07Ordinary?
32:07She dismantled a contract trap
32:09I spent three years
32:09setting up.
32:10She destroyed my son
32:10and she embarrassed me
32:11in business.
32:12To my face,
32:12that's ordinary?
32:13But her file
32:14is completely clean.
32:15That's exactly
32:16what's suspicious.
32:17How can an 18-year-old girl
32:19be flawless?
32:20I found it strange too.
32:22Actually,
32:24I did notice
32:25one odd thing.
32:26Go on.
32:27She seems to know
32:28exactly what's gonna happen
32:29before it does.
32:31Before it happens?
32:33Three months ago,
32:34she told her father
32:35a certain company
32:36was going to collapse.
32:37Last month,
32:37that company went bankrupt.
32:39Didn't lose a penny.
32:42What else?
32:43And that Chloe girl.
32:44Every move she made,
32:46Emily knew in advance
32:46and shut her down.
32:47This isn't luck.
32:48It's like,
32:49she's already seen
32:50how it ends.
32:51Someone who can predict
32:52the future
32:53either has inside information
32:55or is hiding
32:56a massive secret.
32:57What do you want me to do?
32:58Watch her.
33:00Everything she eats,
33:01everyone she meets,
33:02everything she says,
33:03I want to know it all.
33:05I want to find out
33:05what this girl really is,
33:07human or ghost.
33:09Understood.
33:16It feels like
33:17someone's watching me.
33:24Emily's been investigating you,
33:25a private investigator
33:26working for Mr. Hayes.
33:30He works fast.
33:31But the direction
33:32they're investigating
33:33is strange.
33:34Strange how?
33:35They're not looking
33:36into your background.
33:38They're specifically looking
33:39into why you can
33:40predict everything.
33:42That's exactly the problem.
33:44I'm too perfect.
33:45How can being perfect
33:46be a problem?
33:47Ethan, if someone is right
33:48about everything,
33:49people don't think
33:49they're smart,
33:50they think they're suspicious.
33:51They start questioning everything.
33:53So Hayes is focusing
33:55on that weakness.
33:56Right now,
33:56he probably suspects
33:57insider trading
33:58or even corporate espionage.
34:04Dad?
34:05Emily,
34:05something terrible happened.
34:07Someone reported
34:08our company
34:08for illegally obtaining
34:09business secrets.
34:10Regulators are auditing us.
34:12Most of our accounts
34:13are frozen.
34:14When did this happen?
34:15This morning.
34:16Our partners heard the news.
34:18They're all pulling out.
34:24Dad, stay calm.
34:25Don't sign anything.
34:26I'll be right there.
34:29Hayes made his move?
34:31He's using my weakness
34:32as a knife,
34:33stabbing it right
34:34into my father's company.
34:35What do we do now?
34:38He thinks my weakness
34:39is his weapon.
34:40I'll show him
34:41that a weakness
34:41can also cut his throat.
34:49Dad,
34:50are you okay?
34:52I'm fine.
34:53Just an old condition
34:54acting up.
34:55I know about the accounts.
34:57Don't worry about it.
34:58Let me handle it.
35:00Most of the accounts
35:00are frozen.
35:01Our partners are gone.
35:02The company won't survive
35:03the month.
35:04I said let me handle it.
35:05Emily, let me ask you something.
35:07Honestly,
35:07this whole mess,
35:08is it because you crossed Hayes?
35:12Dad.
35:12Is it?
35:14I'm sorry.
35:17I dragged you into this.
35:19Don't say that.
35:20It's me who couldn't
35:21protect this family.
35:23Dad, trust me.
35:25I'm gonna make this right.
35:32Don't carry this alone.
35:33Ethan, I have a secret.
35:35I've been hiding it
35:35for a very, very long time.
35:37You don't have to tell me
35:38if you don't want to.
35:39I'm afraid if I tell you,
35:40you'll think I'm crazy.
35:42I don't need to know
35:42your secret.
35:43But?
35:44All I need to know is
35:46you're not fighting
35:47this war alone.
35:49Hayes wants to destroy
35:50your family.
35:51Then we'll tear him
35:52down together.
35:54Why are you so good to me?
35:56Because you were
35:57the first person
35:58who ever treated me
35:59like a human being.
36:09Did you find anything?
36:10I traced back that patent
36:12you mentioned
36:12in your mother's letter.
36:13I found the original
36:14registration records
36:15from 20 years ago.
36:17Was the real inventor
36:18your father?
36:19It was your father.
36:20But not only your father.
36:22There's another name
36:23on the original
36:24partnership list.
36:30Cole?
36:31Who's that?
36:32That's my last name.
36:35What did you say?
36:38Emily, it's my last name.
36:40Cole.
36:41Look, the Cole family
36:43went bankrupt overnight
36:4420 years ago.
36:46The whole family
36:47died in an accident.
36:48Only one baby
36:49was sent to an orphanage.
36:50That baby
36:52was me.
36:53So you're not just
36:54some ordinary orphan?
36:55You're the only surviving
36:57hair of the Cole family?
37:00When Hayes stole
37:01that patent back then,
37:02he didn't just destroy
37:03your family.
37:04To cover his tracks,
37:06he wiped out
37:06the entire Cole family too.
37:08Ethan,
37:09calm down.
37:10Tell me,
37:10do you think fate
37:11brought us together
37:12for a reason?
37:13The person who killed
37:13your mother
37:14also destroyed
37:15my entire family.
37:15So this isn't just
37:16my battle?
37:17This is blood debt.
37:18Both our families.
37:20Emily, I'm with you.
37:20We're going to take back
37:21every last bit
37:22of what they owe us.
37:29From now on,
37:29we fight this war together.
37:31Hayes is coming at us
37:32from two sides,
37:32digging into my secret
37:33on one hand,
37:34strangling my father's
37:35company on the other.
37:36If we stay on defense,
37:37he'll wear us down.
37:38Then let's stop waiting.
37:39Go on the offensive.
37:41How?
37:42Before he figures out
37:43your secret,
37:43we take him down first.
37:45His weak spot
37:46is stealing that patent
37:47and covering up
37:48two families' deaths.
37:49But that was 20 years ago.
37:50He's probably destroyed
37:51all the evidence by now.
37:52Leave the evidence to me.
37:54I'm a Cole.
37:55I have both the right
37:56and the ability
37:57to dig up what he buried
37:5920 years ago.
37:59Then I'll handle
38:00the money and connections.
38:01First I stabilize
38:02my father's company,
38:03then I'll start pushing back.
38:05Are you sure
38:06you can handle it?
38:07Hayes isn't a
38:08small-time player.
38:09I've already died once.
38:12What do I have
38:12to be afraid of?
38:13So it's settled.
38:14Shoulder to shoulder,
38:15no one backs down.
38:17Whoever backs down
38:19is a coward.
38:21Last life,
38:22I died alone
38:23under that building.
38:24No one pulled me back.
38:26This life,
38:28fate gave me
38:28a second chance
38:29and sent Ethan to me.
38:32Mr. Hayes,
38:32you owe two families
38:33their lives.
38:35Time to pay up.
38:37This time,
38:39you're the one
38:40who won't be able to sleep.
38:46Brandon,
38:46we've lost to Emily
38:47every single time.
38:48Don't you have any ideas?
38:50Ideas?
38:50My father's company
38:51got hit back by hers.
38:53He's barely keeping
38:53himself afloat.
38:54What about what
38:55we agreed on?
38:56After we successed,
38:57your family was supposed
38:58to help mine
38:58get those business resources.
39:00In case you haven't noticed,
39:01we're both sinking
39:01and you're still worried
39:02about your cut?
39:03What do you mean by that?
39:05It means this deal
39:06is dead.
39:07Stop bothering me.
39:09So I helped you
39:10go after Emily
39:11for nothing?
39:13Chloe,
39:14who do you think
39:14you are?
39:15If my father
39:16actually turns this around,
39:17you'll be the first
39:18person he drops.
39:24Oh, dumped?
39:26Are you following me?
39:26Didn't need to.
39:27I knew all along
39:28people like Brandon
39:29use you
39:30and toss you aside.
39:31What do you know?
39:32I know the Hayes family
39:33never planned to give
39:34your family any resources.
39:37You were nothing but a pawn
39:39from the very beginning.
39:40Stop trying to drive a wedge.
39:43Driving a wedge?
39:44I didn't put those words
39:45in Brandon's mouth.
39:46You'll be the first person
39:47he drops.
39:47I heard them myself.
39:48You have more dirt
39:49on Mr. Hayes'
39:50illegal activities
39:51than anyone.
39:52Give it to me
39:53and I can guarantee
39:54your safety.
39:55Keep following Brandon
39:56and when his ship sinks,
39:58he'll drag you down with him.
40:02Why would you think
40:03I'd help you?
40:04I don't think you'll help me.
40:05I think you'll do
40:06whatever it takes
40:06to save yourself.
40:11I'll give you the dirt.
40:13Just like last time,
40:15in the end,
40:15you always tear
40:16each other apart.
40:21Chloe is a fool.
40:22She gave Emily
40:23my black accounts.
40:25The intel is solid.
40:26Emily has quite a lot
40:27of dirt on you now.
40:28Have you found out
40:29that girl's secret yet?
40:31Not yet.
40:32She's too cautious.
40:33No way to get a handle
40:34on her.
40:34Can't get to her secret?
40:36Then go after her people.
40:38What do you mean?
40:40Isn't she the devoted
40:41daughter?
40:41Bring me her father.
40:43Let's see which she chooses.
40:45The evidence
40:46or her father's life.
40:47Mr. Hayes,
40:48kidnapping is a serious crime.
40:49I told you to do it,
40:50so do it!
40:51I've poured too much
40:52into this.
40:52I'm not losing my empire
40:53to some little girl.
41:00My dad's not answering.
41:01He's never like this.
41:05Hello?
41:06Emily Carter,
41:07I have your father.
41:12Hayes!
41:13If you lay a finger on him!
41:14If you want him alive,
41:16here's what you do.
41:17First,
41:18hand over all the black accounts.
41:20Second,
41:21tell me how you know
41:22about things
41:22before they happen.
41:25You want to know?
41:27Fine.
41:28But first,
41:29I need to see
41:30that my father is alive.
41:31Smart.
41:31Tomorrow night,
41:3210 o'clock,
41:33the old pier warehouse.
41:34Bring the evidence
41:35and we make the trade.
41:37Call the cops
41:38and you can say goodbye
41:39to your father.
41:41He took your father?
41:43Yeah.
41:44Tomorrow night,
41:4510 o'clock,
41:45the old pier.
41:46It's a trap.
41:47He never planned
41:47to let your father go.
41:48I know.
41:49So we're setting
41:50a trap of our own.
41:51Tell me.
41:52I'll go to the negotiation,
41:54keep him busy.
41:54You find where
41:55they're keeping my father
41:56and get him out.
41:57That's too dangerous.
41:58What if he hurts you?
41:59Ethan.
42:00In my last life,
42:01my father died
42:02at the hands
42:03of someone like this.
42:04I'm not letting
42:04that happen again.
42:15Where is he?
42:16Right here.
42:17Still alive.
42:18Do you have the evidence?
42:19The black accounts
42:20are here.
42:22Let my father
42:23go first.
42:25Give me the evidence
42:26first.
42:29Do you think
42:29I'm stupid?
42:30The moment you get it,
42:31you'll kill both of us.
42:33Smart.
42:34Unfortunately,
42:35smart people
42:36don't live very long.
42:37Then tell me.
42:39How did I find out
42:40about all your
42:41dirty secrets?
42:41You want to know,
42:42don't you?
42:44Talk.
42:44This is a long story.
42:47I know everything
42:48you've done
42:48these past 20 years.
42:50The patent.
42:51The deaths.
42:52Was my mother
42:53killed by you too?
42:55You know too much.
42:58Exactly why
42:58you don't dare kill me.
43:00I've already
43:01backed everything up.
43:02Boss!
43:02Someone hacked
43:03the security system!
43:07Mr. Carter,
43:08I'm here to save you.
43:10Everyone freeze!
43:11Anyone moves,
43:12I shoot!
43:14Mr. Hayes,
43:15you owe the Cole family
43:16their lives.
43:17Today,
43:18it's time to settle.
43:19Cole?
43:20You're from the Cole family?
43:21It was you.
43:22You saved me
43:23and my daughter.
43:31You think you've won?
43:33Kidnapping,
43:33murder,
43:33the evidence is solid.
43:34You're not getting
43:35out of this.
43:35I admit defeat.
43:37But there's one thing
43:38I'll never understand,
43:39even in death.
43:40What?
43:42How could an 18-year-old
43:43girl like you
43:44calculate every single
43:45move I made
43:45like you'd already
43:46seen the ending?
43:47I'll find out the truth,
43:48even if it's the last
43:49thing I do.
43:58What are you thinking about?
44:00What Hayes said
44:01at the end.
44:02He's just a sore loser.
44:04No.
44:05He was right.
44:07Ethan,
44:07I really have
44:08seen the ending before.
44:10Are you about to tell me
44:11that secret you've been
44:11hiding for so long?
44:13I'm afraid you'll
44:14look at me like I'm crazy.
44:16Emily,
44:16we've been through
44:17so much together.
44:18I've protected you.
44:19You've saved me.
44:21And you still
44:21don't trust me?
44:22It's not that
44:23I don't trust you.
44:24It's that this
44:25is too unbelievable.
44:28Then don't tell me.
44:30But I want you
44:31to remember one thing.
44:32What?
44:34No matter who you are,
44:35no matter what
44:36you've been through,
44:37the person I love
44:38is the you
44:39standing in front
44:39of me right now.
44:41The past
44:41won't scare me away.
44:43Do you know
44:44I've been waiting
44:44for those words
44:45for a very,
44:46very long time.
44:48I'll say them
44:48to you every day
44:49from now on.
45:07This is where I died
45:08in my last life.
45:10The woman
45:10who was lied to
45:11by her husband,
45:12betrayed by her best friend,
45:13and pushed to her death
45:14with nothing but hatred.
45:15I've gotten her revenge.
45:17So stop haunting me.
45:18You don't have to be afraid anymore.
45:20You don't have to hate anymore.
45:22From now on,
45:23this is my life.
45:25I'm the one in control.
45:26I'm gonna live it well,
45:28better than anyone.
45:30Are you done?
45:31I'm done.
45:32I said goodbye to the past.
45:34What about the future?
45:36From now on,
45:37I'm only looking forward.
45:38No looking back?
45:39No looking back.
45:43Ethan.
45:45Yeah?
45:46Hayes is in prison,
45:47but the empire
45:48he spent 20 years building
45:49is still standing.
45:50This isn't over.
45:52I know.
45:53So now it's our turn.
45:55Time to finish this.
45:56Tear down everything he built.
45:58Uproot it all.
46:05Ethan,
46:05did you stay up all night
46:06watching over me?
46:07I was worried after you
46:09went to that building last night.
46:10I'm okay.
46:11Really.
46:11I'm okay now.
46:13How'd it feel?
46:13Saying goodbye to the past?
46:16Like a ten-year wait
46:17was lifted off my shoulders.
46:19Now it's Hayes' turn
46:20to feel the wait.
46:21He's in prison,
46:22but the Hayes group
46:23is still running.
46:23The board is still
46:24holding things together for him.
46:25As long as his empire stands,
46:27he can always make a comeback
46:28and come after us again.
46:30So this time,
46:31it's not enough
46:31to just put him in prison?
46:35What do you want to do?
46:37I want everything he built
46:38to crumble
46:39in front of everyone.
46:41Completely, publicly,
46:43humiliatingly?
46:43Yes.
46:44Just like he destroyed
46:45our families back then.
46:46Then we need something
46:47that can strike a fatal blow.
46:49Chloe's black accounts,
46:51plus what you found
46:52about the Cole family massacre,
46:54and my mother's letter.
46:56Put them together,
46:57and we have a bomb
46:59big enough to level
47:00the entire Hayes empire.
47:03Then let's start.
47:05This time,
47:05we're on the offensive.
47:09The black accounts
47:10are organized.
47:12Twenty years of tax evasion,
47:13bribery,
47:14money laundering,
47:15it's all here.
47:16What about the original
47:17patent documents?
47:19I recovered them.
47:20The original registration
47:21shows your father
47:22and my father
47:23as the primary inventors.
47:24Hayes' name isn't even on it.
47:25Then how did he build
47:26his fortune?
47:27Forged documents.
47:28He stole the patent
47:29and claimed it as his own.
47:30The entire Hayes group
47:31was built on stolen property.
47:32Add my mother's letter.
47:33It proves he was
47:34silencing witnesses
47:35twenty years ago.
47:37The chain of evidence
47:38is complete.
47:39I could hack into
47:40their systems right now
47:41and crash their stock price
47:42overnight.
47:44No.
47:45Why not?
47:47Hacking is revenge
47:48in the shadows.
47:50That's not what I want.
47:53What do you want?
47:55I want to tear off
47:56his mask
47:56in front of everyone.
47:57I want his shareholders,
47:59the media,
47:59the whole world
48:00to see that the Hayes empire
48:01was built on the blood
48:02of two families.
48:04You mean
48:05the shareholders meeting?
48:07Next week is Hayes group's
48:08annual shareholders meeting.
48:10But Hayes is in prison.
48:11Will they even hold it?
48:12The board has to.
48:13If they cancel,
48:14the stock price
48:14will collapse immediately.
48:15It's their last chance
48:16to save face
48:17and our stage.
48:18You want to detonate
48:19this bomb in front
48:20of all the shareholders?
48:21Yes.
48:22Let his 20-year empire
48:23turn to ash
48:23in front of everyone.
48:36What are you doing here?
48:42My father's in prison.
48:44The company's falling apart.
48:45I have nothing left now, Emily.
48:48Your father brought this
48:49on himself.
48:50I loved you.
48:51I really did love you.
48:55Did you?
48:56Why, Ethan?
48:57He's an orphan!
48:58What does he have
48:59that I don't?
49:02Do you want the truth?
49:04Tell me!
49:05You don't know
49:05what love is.
49:07All you know
49:08is owning.
49:09How can you say
49:10I don't...
49:10In your eyes,
49:11I was no different
49:13from your fancy cars,
49:14your watches,
49:16your trophies,
49:17something to show off.
49:19You never cared
49:20what I wanted.
49:21You only cared
49:22whether other people
49:23envied you
49:23for having me.
49:25That's not true.
49:27You know in your heart
49:28whether it's true or not.
49:31Don't you have
49:32any feelings
49:32for what we had?
49:34Brandon,
49:35let me tell you a secret.
49:36I was never yours.
49:38Not in this life,
49:39not in any life.
49:44Wake up.
49:45You didn't lose to Ethan.
49:47You lost to yourself.
49:53I was never yours.
49:54Not in this life,
49:58semblance.
50:05Emily,
50:05I gave you
50:06all the black accounts.

50:07Can't we call it even now?
50:10Even?
50:10Yeah,
50:11I switched sides
50:11and helped you take down
50:12Hayes.
50:12That counts for something, right?
50:13Did you switch sides
50:14to help me or because you were afraid brandon would dump you and wanted to save yourself
50:18you've only ever cared about yourself from beginning to end so what i still handed over
