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.
00:26Today, in front of everyone, I'm saying it. One day I'm gonna marry you. Be my girl!
00:33Oh my god! The most handsome guy in school is proposing!
00:38I 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.
00:59Not 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.
01:39What 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.
02:04In those years, I kept everything going by myself. Everything I learned. This 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?
02:22What are you talking about? I'm your best friend.
02:23Then you better remember what best friend means. Pretending to be so pure.
02:28Bran 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 book where nobody pays attention to?
03:02You sat down in the wrong spot? No, I wanted to sit here.
03:05Everyone'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? Nothing. Just an algorithm. No one understands it.
03:14Recursive optimization? You're working on a data compression model?
03:17You understand this? The whole faculty says I'm wasting my time.
03:20They're wrong. This is going to be worth a lot of money someday.
03:22Ethan, remember what you're writing today. It's going to 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. That doesn't sound like playing hard to get.
03:52Girls always say the opposite of what they mean. Trust 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.
04:08Let's start over, okay?
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?
04:20Yeah?
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.
04:37We'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, everyone 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! Right 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?
06:03It'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.
06:26This is just the beginning.
06:35The tech innovation competition.
06:37For the team project, I want to team up with you.
06:40Why me? Everyone thinks I'm some anti-social freak?
06:43Because you can win.
06:45Win? The teachers say I'm wasting my time on this stuff. No one believes in me.
06:49They don't understand it. That doesn't mean it's useless.
06:54Ethan, the way you see the world, it's not like anyone else's.
06:58You don't think it's strange?
07:00It's not strange. It's genius.
07:02No one's ever said that to me before. People 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? You 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. That's everything.
07:34Why do you care so much?
07:36You're Emily Carter. You 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. Trust me. We can take first place.
07:50But if we lose, everyone will say it's because of me. They'll drag you down too.
07:53We won't lose. And even if the whole world doubts you, I won't. Not ever.
08:02Okay. I'm in.
08:04Partners.
08:14That nerd.
08:16Wow. Emily turned you down just to hook up with Ethan? That's gotta sting.
08:21She's just confused. She'll come to her senses.
08:24Will she? Look at them. She's smiling at him like that. When was the last time she ever smiled at
08:30you?
08:32Brannon, some women just don't know what's good for them.
08:36You've got someone right here who actually understands you.
09:01Brannon, stop.
09:04What do you think? Wrote it myself. Just for you. Touched?
09:07What do you think? Wrote it myself. Just for you. Touched?
09:10Disgusting.
09:10Emily, what do I have to do to get you back? Roses? Songs? Gifts? Just name it.
09:16You really wanna know?
09:17Yes! Tell me!
09:20Disappear from my life. That's the only thing I want from you.
09:25You'll regret this. No other guy will ever treat you the way I do.
09:28I'm the most popular guy in this school!
09:31Popular? That just means more people get to watch you make a fool of yourself.
09:35I'm not coming back. Get 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. She used to love me. She used to look at me like I was her
10:03whole 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. I've always understood you.
10:11Why is she so different now? It's like she's a completely different person.
10:14Forget her. Some people just aren't worth chasing. I'm right here.
10:21Even faster than last time. Good. Get together on your own saves me the trouble.
10:26Last life, you two destroyed me together. This time, you'll destroy each other.
10:39Chloe, there's a case of champagne in the storage room. Brandon said to have you bring it. He's waiting inside.
10:45He's looking for me?
10:47Yeah. He seemed like he really wanted to see you. Go on.
10:53I knew it. He's finally giving up on you. Looks like it. Don't keep him waiting.
11:01Walk right into it. Just 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. No one else around. I'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.
11:35You've been setting something up all night.
11:37You noticed?
11:38Hard not to.
11:39You moved Chloe toward the storage room. You 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. Decisive.
11:50Like you already know how everything's gonna play out.
11:52Something like that. I 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.
12:25Emily.
12:26Someone has reported you for cheating on the midterm exam.
12:30This cheat sheet was found under your seat.
12:33The handwriting matches yours.
12:36Emily, I didn't want to believe it either, but 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, but the way the A is written is wrong.
12:59I always write in cursive.
13:01Second, the security footage shows when I handed in my paper there was nothing under my desk.
13:06This cheat sheet was planted after I'd already left.
13:09Then who put it there?
13:17I can answer that. This is a backup of the classroom security footage.
13:20After the exam ended, one person was the last to leave and lingered at Emily's seat for 20 seconds.
13:25Chloe, it was you!
13:30No! Emily set me up!
13:32Chloe, why can't you ever win against me?
13:35How do you always know? How do you see it every single time?
13:40Because I've already seen you lose everything.
13:44Chloe, you're receiving a formal demerigage. Your parents will be notified immediately.
13:49Emily, the school clears your name.
13:59I'll walk you home.
14:00You'll get wet.
14:02It's fine. I'm used to it.
14:04Used to it?
14:05No one ever came to pick me up with an umbrella.
14:07I've walked home in the rain plenty of times.
14:11Then today, you don't walk alone.
14:19Ethan, thank you for helping me today.
14:22At the hearing, if you hadn't showed up with that evidence...
14:26You don't have to thank me. I just didn't want to see you get wrongfully accused.
14:30Why? You barely know me. You 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, I treated you badly.
14:52But we've barely ever spoken.
14:54Let's just say, I owe you an apology. A big one.
14:58Emily, you're talking there'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!
15:20You're bitching me for this book, Ned!
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, he'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.
15:55You'll regret this!
15:56Both of you!
15:57My only regret is ever knowing you.
16:04Let's go. He's not worth standing in the rain for.
16:12Here it comes.
16:13Last life, this was when Dad signed that contract.
16:16Six months later, the company was gutted.
16:18Not this time.
16:22Old friend, sign it.
16:24This is your only chance to save your company.
16:33Dad, don't sign it!
16:34Emily? Why are you back? This 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, they can raise that target anytime they want.
16:50Clause 12.
16:51Core technology intellectual property will be shared during the cooperation period.
16:56Shared means free.
16:58Three months from now, your patents will belong to Hayes.
17:05The appendix, if targets are missed for two consecutive quarters,
17:09controlling interest transfers automatically.
17:12Dad, this isn't an investment, it's a trap.
17:14Sign this, and within six months, you'll lose the entire company.
17:22Ms. Carter, you're a high school student.
17:24How do you understand corporate trowgs like this?
17:26Mr. Hayes, you 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, think it over and get back to me.
17:37Smart girl.
17:38But being too smart isn't always a good thing.
17:42Thanks for the warning.
17:48Emily.
17:50I almost signed this.
17:52How did you-
17:52Dad, from now on, let 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, we 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?
18:32He couldn't get the contract signed, so now he's using dirty tactics.
18:36Manufacturing evidence to accuse you of fraud and force you to give up the company.
18:39But the data's been altered. How can I prove my innocence?
18:45Ethan, I need you. Come to Carter Industries. Now.
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, illegal fund transfers, tax evasion.
19:09The numbers are huge.
19:12They messed with the wrong people.
19:14This is who you really are.
19:17What?
19:18Nothing.
19:19Can you restore the original data?
19:22Already restoring it?
19:24I've backed up all the tampering records and 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?
19:56None of your business.
19:58Brandon, we're in the same boat now.
20:01Emily embarrassed you.
20:03She ruined my reputation.
20:06We have the same enemy.
20:13What are you saying?
20:19Let's team up.
20:20You help me take down Ethan.
20:22Without that nerd backing her up, Emily 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, not this time.
20:34I'm going to destroy that loser.
20:35Get him expelled.
20:37Without Ethan, Emily is a cat without claws.
20:41Go on.
20:43We 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, let's see what you've got.
21:14Ethan cheated?
21:16No way.
21:17Maybe he did.
21:18How could a nobody like she come 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.
21:35Ethan, a section of your submitted code is 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?
21:50I do.
21:52First, this is the version history of Ethan's project.
21:55Every change has a timestamp.
21:58The plagiarized code was inserted from an external IP two hours before the submission deadline,
22:02at a time when Ethan was in class with me.
22:04A dozen students can testify.
22:07Second, the IP address used to insert the code traces back to a public computer in the school library.
22:14And the logon records from that time period show...
22:21This...
22:21Someone deliberately tampered with a contestant's project files to fabricate plagiaring.
22:25This isn't academic discont, it's malicious framing.
22:27I extracted the complete operation logs from the submission system.
22:31Every single tampering action is documented.
22:33Ethan Cole is cleared of all suspicion.
22:35The school will take serious action against malicious tampering with academic systems.
22:44Emily, every time I'm in trouble, you show up.
22:48Because you're worth it.
23:03You wanted to see me?
23:08I 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, when you walked into that classroom, I couldn't stop watching you.
23:19But you're Emily Carter. Every guy in school wants you.
23:22And 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 and 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.
23:47Ethan...
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.
23:58I'm sorry 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.
24:45You can't choose him.
24:47How 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.
25:32Is it true?
25:34Yes.
25:35What's so great about him?
25:37What's so great about him?
25:37He has nothing.
25:38No money.
25:39No background.
25:40No 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, you never loved me.
26:12You loved owning me.
26:14To you, I was just a trophy.
26:16Like your fancy cars and watches.
26:22Too bad.
26:23I was never yours.
26:34Emily, you'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, trying 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 stair hole 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, you'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, if you're reading this, it 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, it 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, remember this.
28:14Never trust anyone from the Hayes family.
28:19Stole the patent.
28:21Built his empire.
28:23So last life, the man I married, Brandon, his father was the one who killed my mom and destroyed our
28:28family?
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, this life, I'm taking it all back.
28:37With interest.
28:41Ethan, I need you to look into someone for me.
28:43Mr. Hayes, everything from 20 years ago.
28:46Brandon's dad?
28:47Why him?
28:48He stole my family's patent.
28:50And 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, why are you at the office?
29:10Dad, you haven't signed this investment contract with Hayes Group yet, have 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, Clause 12, and the Annex Bet Agreement.
29:21If the company fails to meet targets for a single quarter, controlling interest automatically transfers to Hayes.
29:26Dad, this is a trap.
29:27They're trying to swallow Carter for nothing.
29:28These...
29:30These Clause are buried so deep, I didn't even notice them.
29:32How does a high school student understand this stuff?
29:35Dad, don't sign it.
29:36Give me three days.
29:37I'll find you a new partner.
29:39But the company can't wait that long.
29:40Trust me.
29:41Just this once.
29:56Carter, you found yourself a new backer.
29:58Thanks to my daughter.
30:02Mr. Hayes, it's been a pleasure working with you.
30:05I hope we'll have more opportunities in the future.
30:07You're just a kid.
30:09How did you see through every 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, I'll play it.
30:37After that, she's finished at this school.
30:39I don't know.
30:43I don't know.
30:47I don't know.
30:47I don't know.
30:47I don't know.
30:47I don't know.
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, we'll play that fake video and destroy her.
31:07Ruin her reputation.
31:09Then let's see if she still dares to be with that orphan.
31:14No!
31:15This is impossible!
31:16How did our video turn into this?
31:20You wanted to destroy me?
31:22First, ask yourselves if you're clean.
31:24So it was Brandon and Chloe trying to hurt Emily this whole time?
31:28That's disgusting!
31:30This show is over.
31:32This time, I win.
31:42It's me.
31:43Look into a girl for me.
31:44Emily Carter.
31:45I want to know who she really is.
31:46An 18-year-old girl can't be this flawless.
31:48She's hiding something.
31:57Mr. Hayes, I've been looking into Emily Carter for a whole week, like you asked.
32:01And?
32:02On the surface, she's just an ordinary high school student.
32:04Clean family background.
32:06No connections.
32:07Ordinary.
32:07She dismantled a contract trap I spent three years setting up.
32:10She destroyed my son and she embarrassed me in business.
32:12To my face, that's ordinary?
32:13But her file is completely clean.
32:15That's exactly what's suspicious.
32:17How can an 18-year-old girl be flawless?
32:20I found it strange too.
32:23Actually, I did notice one odd thing.
32:26Go on.
32:27She seems to know exactly what's going to happen before it does.
32:31Before it happens?
32:33Three months ago, she told her father a certain company was going to collapse.
32:37Last month, that company went bankrupt.
32:39Didn't lose a penny.
32:42What else?
32:43And that Chloe girl.
32:44Every move she made, Emily knew in advance and shut her down.
32:47This isn't luck.
32:48It's like she's already seen how it ends.
32:52Someone who can predict the future either has inside information or is hiding a massive secret.
32:57What do you want me to do?
32:59Watch her.
33:00Everything she eats, everyone she meets, everything she says.
33:04I want to know it all.
33:05I want to find out what this girl really is.
33:07Human or ghost.
33:09Understood.
33:16It feels like someone's watching me.
33:24Emily's been investigating you, a private investigator working for Mr. Hayes.
33:30He works fast.
33:32But the direction they're investigating is strange.
33:34Strange how?
33:35They're not looking into your background.
33:38They're specifically looking into why you can predict everything.
33:42That's exactly the problem.
33:44I'm too perfect.
33:46How can being perfect be a problem?
33:47Ethan, if someone is right about everything, people don't think they're smart.
33:50They think they're suspicious.
33:51They start questioning everything.
33:53So Hayes is focusing on that weakness.
33:56Right now he probably suspects insider trading.
33:58Or even corporate espionage.
34:04Dad?
34:05Emily, something terrible happened.
34:07Someone reported our company for illegally obtaining business secrets.
34:10Regulators are auditing us.
34:12Most of our accounts are frozen.
34:14When did this happen?
34:15This morning.
34:17Our 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.
34:30Hayes made his move?
34:31He's using my weakness as a knife.
34:33Stabbing it right into my father's company.
34:35What do we do now?
34:38He thinks my weakness is his weapon.
34:40I'll show him that a weakness can also cut his throat.
34:49Dad!
34:50Are you okay?
34:52I'm fine.
34:53Just an old condition acting up.
34:55I know about the accounts.
34:57Don't worry about it.
34:59Let me handle it.
35:00Most of the accounts are frozen.
35:01Our partners are gone.
35:02The company won't survive the month.
35:04I said let me handle it.
35:05Emily, let me ask you something.
35:07Honestly.
35:08This whole mess.
35:09Is it because you crossed Hayes?
35:12Dad.
35:12Is it?
35:15I'm sorry.
35:17I dragged you into this.
35:19Don't say that.
35:20It's me who couldn't protect this family.
35:24Dad, 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 for a very, very long time.
35:37You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
35:39I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll think I'm crazy.
35:42I don't need to know your secret.
35:44But...
35:44All I need to know is, you're not fighting this war alone.
35:49Hayes wants to destroy your family.
35:51Then we'll tear him down together.
35:54Why are you so good to me?
35:57Because you were the first person who ever treated me like a human being.
36:09Did you find anything?
36:11I traced back that patent you mentioned in your mother's letter.
36:13I found the original registration records from 20 years ago.
36:17Was the real inventor your father?
36:19It was your father.
36:20But not only your father.
36:22There's another name on the original partnership list.
36:30Cole?
36:31Who's that?
36:33That's...
36:34my last name.
36:35What did you say?
36:38Emily, it's my last name.
36:40Cole.
36:41Look.
36:42The Cole family went bankrupt overnight 20 years ago.
36:46The whole family died in an accident.
36:49Only one baby was sent to an orphanage.
36:51That baby...
36:52Was me.
36:53So you're not just some ordinary orphan?
36:56You're the only surviving heir of the Cole family?
37:00When Hayes stole that patent back then, he didn't just destroy your family.
37:04To cover his tracks, he wiped out the entire Cole family too.
37:08Ethan, calm down.
37:10Tell me.
37:11Do you think fate brought us together for a reason?
37:13The person who killed your mother also destroyed my entire family.
37:16So this isn't just my battle?
37:17This is blood debt.
37:19Both our families.
37:20Emily, I'm with you.
37:20We're gonna take back every last bit of what they owe us.
37:29From now on, we fight this war together.
37:31Hayes is coming at us from two sides, digging into my secret on one hand, strangling my father's company on
37:35the other.
37:36If we stay on defense, he'll wear us down.
37:38Then let's stop waiting.
37:39Go on the offensive.
37:41How?
37:42Before he figures out your secret, we take him down first.
37:45His weak spot is stealing that patent and covering up two families' deaths.
37:49But that was 20 years ago.
37:50He's probably destroyed all the evidence by now.
37:52Leave the evidence to me.
37:54I'm a Cole.
37:55I have both the right and the ability to dig up what he buried 20 years ago.
38:00Then I'll handle the money and connections.
38:01First I stabilize my father's company, then I'll start pushing back.
38:04Are you sure you can handle it?
38:07Hayes isn't a small-time player.
38:10I've already died once.
38:12What do I have to be afraid of?
38:13So it's settled.
38:15Shoulder to shoulder, no one backs down.
38:18Whoever backs down is a coward.
38:21Last life, I died alone under that building.
38:24No one pulled me back.
38:27This life, fate gave me a second chance and sent Ethan to me.
38:31Mr. Hayes, you owe two families their lives.
38:35Time to pay up.
38:37This time,
38:39you're the one who won't be able to sleep.
38:46Brandon, we've lost to Emily every single time.
38:48Don't you have any ideas?
38:50Ideas?
38:51My father's company got hit back by hers.
38:53He's barely keeping himself afloat.
38:54What about what we agreed on?
38:56After we successed, your family was supposed to help mine get those business resources.
38:59In case you haven't noticed, we're both sinking and you're still worried about your cut.
39:03What do you mean by that?
39:05It means this deal is dead. Stop bothering me.
39:09So I helped you go after Emily for nothing?
39:13Chloe, who do you think you are?
39:15If my father actually turns this around, you'll be the first person he drops.
39:24Oh, dumped?
39:26Are you following me?
39:27Didn't need to. I knew all along, people like Brandon use you and toss you aside.
39:31What do you know?
39:32I know the Hayes family never planned to give your... your family any resources.
39:37You were nothing but a pawn from the very beginning.
39:40Stop trying to drive a wedge.
39:43Driving a wedge?
39:44I didn't put those words in Brandon's mouth. You'll be the first person he drops. I heard them myself.
39:49You have more dirt on Mr. Hayes' illegal activities than anyone.
39:52Give it to me, and I can guarantee your safety.
39:55Keep following Brandon, and when his ship sinks, he'll drag you down with him.
40:02Why would you think I'd help you?
40:04I don't think you'll help me. I think you'll do whatever it takes to save yourself.
40:11I'll give you the dirt.
40:13Just like last time. In the end, you always tear each other apart.
40:21Chloe is a fool. She gave Emily my black accounts. The intel is solid. Emily has quite a lot of
40:27dirt on you now.
40:28Have you found out that girl's secret yet?
40:31Not yet. She's too cautious. No way to get a handle on her.
40:34Can't get to her secret? Then go after her people.
40:39What do you mean?
40:40Isn't she the devoted daughter? Bring me her father.
40:43Let's see which she chooses. The evidence, or her father's life.
40:47Mr. Hayes, kidnapping is a serious crime.
40:49I told you to do it, so do it! I've poured too much into this.
40:52I'm not losing my empire to some little girl.
41:00My dad's not answering. He's never like this.
41:05Hello?
41:06Emily Carter, I have your father.
41:12Hayes! If you lay a finger on him!
41:15If you want him alive, here's what you do.
41:17First, hand over all the black accounts.
41:20Second, tell me how you know about things before they happen.
41:25You wanna know?
41:27Fine.
41:28But first, I need to see that my father is alive.
41:31Smart. Tomorrow night, 10 o'clock.
41:33The Old Pier warehouse.
41:35Bring the evidence, and we make the trade.
41:37Call the cops, and you can say goodbye to your father.
41:41He took your father?
41:43Yeah. Tomorrow night, 10 o'clock. The Old Pier.
41:46It's a trap. He never planned to let your father go.
41:48I know. So we're setting a trap of our own.
41:51Tell me.
41:52I'll go to the negotiation, keep him busy.
41:54You find where they're keeping my father, and get him out.
41:57That's too dangerous. What if he hurts you?
41:59Ethan.
42:00In my last life, my father died at the hands of someone like this.
42:04I'm not letting that happen again.
42:15Where is he?
42:16Right here. Still alive.
42:18Do you have the evidence?
42:19The black accounts are here.
42:22Let my father go first.
42:25Give me the evidence first.
42:29Do you think I'm stupid?
42:30The moment you get it, you'll kill both of us.
42:33Smart.
42:34Unfortunately, smart people don't live very long.
42:37Then tell me.
42:39How did I find out about all your dirty secrets?
42:42You want to know, don't you?
42:44Talk.
42:45This is a long story.
42:47I know everything you've done these past 20 years.
42:50The patent.
42:51The deaths.
42:52Was my mother killed by you too?
42:55You know too much.
42:58Exactly why you don't dare kill me.
43:00I've already backed everything up.
43:02Boss! Someone hacked the security system!
43:07Mr. Carter, I'm here to save you.
43:10Everyone freeze!
43:11Anyone moves, I shoot!
43:15Mr. Hayes, you owe the Cole family their lives.
43:18Today, it's time to settle.
43:19Cole? You're from the Cole family?
43:21It was you.
43:23You saved me and my daughter.
43:31You think you've won?
43:33Kidnapping, murder, the evidence is solid.
43:34You're not getting out of this.
43:35I admit defeat.
43:37But there's one thing I'll never understand, even in death.
43:40What?
43:42How could an 18-year-old girl like you calculate every single move I made like you'd already seen the
43:46ending?
43:47I'll find out the truth, even if it's the last thing I do.
43:58What are you thinking about?
44:00What Hayes said at the end.
44:02He's just a sore loser.
44:04No.
44:05He was right.
44:07Ethan, I really have seen the ending before.
44:10Are you about to tell me that secret you've been hiding for so long?
44:13I'm afraid you'll look at me like I'm crazy.
44:16Emily, we've been through so much together.
44:18I've protected you.
44:19You've saved me.
44:21And you still don't trust me?
44:22It's not that I don't trust you.
44:24It's that this is too unbelievable.
44:28Then don't tell me.
44:30But I want you to remember one thing.
44:32What?
44:34No matter who you are, no matter what you've been through, the person I love is the you standing in
44:39front of me right now.
44:41The past won't scare me away.
44:43Do you know I've been waiting for those words for a very, very long time.
44:48I'll say them to you every day from now on.
45:07This is where I died in my last life.
45:10The woman who was lied to by her husband, betrayed by her best friend and pushed to her death with
45:14nothing but hatred.
45:15I've gotten her revenge.
45:17So stop haunting me.
45:19You don't have to be afraid anymore.
45:20You don't have to hate anymore.
45:22From now on, this 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, I'm only looking forward.
45:38No looking back?
45:39No looking back.
45:44Ethan.
45:45Yeah?
45:46Hayes is in prison, but the empire he spent 20 years building is 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, did you stay up all night watching over me?
46:07I was worried after you went to that building last night.
46:10I'm okay.
46:11Really.
46:11I'm okay now.
46:13How'd it feel?
46:14Saying goodbye to the past?
46:16Like a ten year weight was lifted off my shoulders.
46:19Now it's Hayes' turn to feel the weight.
46:21He's in prison, but the Hayes group is still running.
46:24The board is still holding things together for him.
46:26As long as his empire stands, he can always make a comeback and come after us again.
46:30So this time, it's not enough to just put him in prison.
46:35What do you want to do?
46:37I want everything he built to crumble in front of everyone.
46:41Completely, publicly, humiliatingly.
46:43Yes.
46:44Just like he destroyed our families back then.
46:46Then we need something that can strike a fatal blow.
46:49Chloe's black accounts.
46:51Plus what you found about the Cole family massacre.
46:54And my mother's letter.
46:56Put them together.
46:57And we have a bomb big enough to level the entire Hayes empire.
47:03Then let's start.
47:05This time we're on the offensive.
47:09The black accounts are organized.
47:1220 years of tax evasion, bribery, money laundering.
47:15It's all here.
47:16What about the original patent documents?
47:19I recovered them.
47:20The original registration shows your father and my father as the primary inventors.
47:24Hayes' name isn't even on it.
47:25Then how did he build his fortune?
47:27Forged documents.
47:28He stole the patent and claimed it as his own.
47:30The entire Hayes group was built on stolen property.
47:33Add my mother's letter.
47:34It proves he was silencing witnesses 20 years ago.
47:37The chain of evidence is complete.
47:39I could hack into their systems right now and crash their stock price overnight.
47:44No.
47:45Why not?
47:47Hacking is revenge in the shadows.
47:50That's not what I want.
47:53What do you want?
47:55I want to tear off his mask in front of everyone.
47:58I want his shareholders, the media, the whole world to see that the Hayes empire was built on the blood
48:02of two families.
48:04You mean the shareholders meeting?
48:07Next week is Hayes group's annual shareholders meeting.
48:10But Hayes is in prison.
48:11Will they even hold it?
48:12The board has to.
48:13If they cancel, the stock price will collapse immediately.
48:15It's their last chance to save face and our stage.
48:18You want to detonate this bomb in front of all the shareholders?
48:21Yes.
48:22Let his 20-year empire turn to ash.
48:24In front of everyone.
48:37What are you doing here?
48:42My father's in prison.
48:44The company's falling apart.
48:46I have nothing left now, Emily.
48:48Your father brought this on himself.
48:50I loved you.
48:51I really did love you.
48:54Did you?
48:56Why, Ethan?
48:57He's an orphan!
48:58What does he have that I don't?
49:02Do you want the truth?
49:04Tell me!
49:05You don't know what love is.
49:07All you know is owning.
49:09How can you say I don't-
49:10In your eyes, I was no different from your fancy cars.
49:14Your watches.
49:16Your trophies.
49:17Something to show off.
49:19You never cared what I wanted.
49:21You only cared whether other people envied you for having me.
49:25That's not true.
49:27You know in your heart whether it's true or not.
49:31Don't you have any feelings for what we had?
49:34Brandon, let 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.
49:55Oh.
50:05Emily, I gave you all the black accounts.
50:07I helped you, didn't I?
50:07Can't we call it even now?
50:10Even?
50:10Yeah, I switched sides and helped you take down Haze.
50:12That counts for something, right?
50:13Did you switch sides to help me?
50:15Or because you were afraid Brandon would dump you and wanted to save yourself?
50:18I-
50:18You've only ever cared about yourself.
50:20From beginning to end.
50:22So what?
50:22I still handed over the evidence.
50:25You can't bite the hand that fed you!
50:27Bite the hand that fed me?
50:29Chloe, let's get the facts straight.
50:32Framing Lily to get her expelled.
50:34Faking the cheat sheet to frame me.
50:35Pushing me at the stairway.
50:36Which of those had anything to do with Haze?
50:38You-
50:38You did all of that yourself.
50:40It has nothing to do with the black accounts.
50:42The police have all the evidence.
50:43Chloe Bennett, you're under arrest for false accusation and assault.
50:47Please come with us.
50:47Emily, I helped you!
50:49How could you do this to me?
50:50You helped yourself.
50:51You never helped me.
50:53You'll get what's coming to you!
50:54What's coming to me?
50:56Chloe, every tear you're crying today was planted by your own hands.
51:07Please rest assured shareholders.
51:09Mr. Haze's situation is just a misunderstanding.
51:11The group is operating normally.
51:14The stock price will not be affected.
51:18Who are you?
51:19This is a shareholders meeting.
51:21Outsiders are not welcome.
51:22I'm not an outsider.
51:24My name is Cole.
51:25Cole?
51:26The Cole family that went bankrupt 20 years ago?
51:28Yes.
51:29Specifically, I'm the only survivor of the Cole family.
51:31The family that Mr. Haze had wiped out.
51:35You're lying!
51:36Do you have proof?
51:37I have the evidence right here.
51:38This is the original patent registration from 20 years ago.
51:41The primary and Drenders are the Carter and Cole families.
51:44Haze's name isn't on it.
51:45The entire Haze group was built on stolen technology.
51:49This is 20 years of Mr. Haze's tax evasion and money laundering records.
51:54For you.
51:57And there's more.
51:58He stole the patent.
51:59Afraid of being exposed, he massacred the entire Cole family and he murdered my mother.
52:03Sherders, every single share you hold is stained with the blood of two families.
52:06I want to sell my shares immediately!
52:07He can't be involved with this company!
52:08No one must be held accountable!
52:10Mr. Haze, everything you stole, lied for, and took by Porsche for 20 years.
52:15Today, on behalf of two families, I give it back to you.
52:19With nothing left.
52:21From today on, the name Haze is finished.
52:29Miss Carter, after Haze's case came to light, we reopened several old cases from 20 years ago.
52:35What did you find?
52:36Your mother's death back then might not have been as simple as illness.
52:39What do you mean?
52:40The medical examiner reviewed the original records.
52:43There are signs of tampering.
52:44Tampered by who?
52:45We're still investigating.
52:46But one thing is clear.
52:47Your mother filed an anonymous report against Haze for patent thief before she died.
52:51And after she reported it?
52:52Three days later, she died of a sudden illness.
52:54Same month as the Cole family massacre.
52:56So my mother was silenced by Haze.
52:59Mr. Haze has confessed.
53:00The murder charge stands.
53:02Your mother and my parents died by the same hand.
53:0620 years.
53:07Today, the truth finally comes out.
53:09My condolences.
53:10This time, he won't escape a single charge.
53:13Mom, the person who hurt you, I put him away.
53:16The peaton is back.
53:17The company is safe.
53:18I've cleared your name.
53:20All these 20 years of injustice.
53:22Rest easy now.
53:26Auntie, my parents were killed by the same man.
53:29From now on, I'll take care of Emily for you.
53:34You hear that?
53:35She definitely trusts you.
53:37Then I better keep my word.
53:46The Haze Group liquidation is complete.
53:48The Cole family assets are back under your name.
53:51I talked to your father.
53:52The two companies are merging.
53:55Merging?
53:56Carter and Cole.
53:57The two families Haze tore apart 20 years ago.
54:00Now they're coming back together.
54:01Does my father know?
54:03He knows.
54:04He was so happy he couldn't sleep.
54:05He's more excited than I am.
54:07What about you?
54:08The revenge is complete.
54:10The truth is out.
54:11What do you want next?
54:13A few peaceful days.
54:14No scheming.
54:15No looking over my shoulder.
54:16Just a good night's sleep.
54:17Then, can you count me in?
54:19Ethan, what are you-
54:20Everyone at school thought you were some untouchable goddess.
54:22But no one really saw you.
54:24You were the first person who ever saw me.
54:26When I had nothing.
54:27When everyone treated me like a freak.
54:28You called me a genius.
54:30Don't say anymore-
54:31You pulled me out of the darkness.
54:32Let me spend this life paying that light back to you.
54:35Do you know who you remind me of right now kneeling like this?
54:38Who?
54:39The person I rejected in front of everyone.
54:42So this time, will you reject me?
54:47This time, I say yes.
54:55Please welcome today's stars, Emily and Ethan!
55:04Emily!
55:06Brandon, what are you doing here?
55:07My father's in prison.
55:09My family is ruined.
55:10All because of you!
55:12Your father did this to himself.
55:13She had nothing to do with it.
55:14Get out!
55:15Why do you two get to be fine while I have nothing left?
55:17Calm down.
55:18Calm down?!
55:19I can't!
55:21You're insane!
55:22Ethan!
55:25My father sent me!
55:27He said even if he's in prison, he won't let you be happy!
55:30Inciting violence, another charge.
55:32Are you okay?
55:33Don't scare me.
55:34I'm fine.
55:35I'm just a fall.
55:36Why did you take that from me?
55:38I told you.
55:39You're not alone.
55:40In my last life, no one came to save me.
55:42In this life, it was you.
55:48Ethan, how are you feeling?
55:49Much better, sir.
55:50Just need a few days of rest.
55:51Good boy.
55:51You risked your life to protect my daughter.
55:53I'll remember this for the rest of my life.
55:54You're too kind, sir.
55:55Not at all.
55:56From today on, your family.
55:57I give this engagement my full blessing.
55:59Dad, are you officially recruiting him?
56:02Of course!
56:03A son-in-law like him is hard to find.
56:08Are they all sentenced?
56:09Yes.
56:10Hayes got life.
56:10Brandon got in sedation.
56:12Chloe got false accusation and assault.
56:13None of them got away.
56:14It's really over.
56:15Yes.
56:16Every debt has been paid.
56:19Then there's only one thing left.
56:21What?
56:23The wedding.
56:24You're still injured.
56:25Then I'll recover quickly.
56:27You rest up.
56:28Once you're back on your feet, we'll do it.
56:30Deal.
56:37If I had to choose again, I'd still reject the wrong person and choose him.
56:59Take good care of her.
57:01For my whole life.
57:02Ethan, do you take Emily to be your wife for better or for worse?
57:05To love and to cherish till death do you part?
57:07I do.
57:08From the day she saw me, I was already hers.
57:10Emily, do you take Ethan to be your husband?
57:12I do.
57:13You know, you once rejected your future husband in front of everyone.
57:16I remember.
57:17Do you regret it?
57:18No.
57:18The person I rejected was the wrong one.
57:20And the right one?
57:21The right one's been standing in front of me all I've had to see him before.
57:23Can you see him now?
57:24Yes.
57:24This time I chose right.
57:25Next life.
57:26And the life after that.
57:27Every life I'll choose you.
57:29From this life to this next.
