00:00and furious at his wife's unnatural calmness.
00:03Ava, say something.
00:07But Ava only pushed the hangover soup toward him,
00:10her face completely devoid of emotion.
00:13What exactly is this supposed to mean?
00:16He was used to her crying and arguing,
00:18not this cold, polite distance.
00:22Used to hate how loud I was, isn't this better?
00:29Just then, the phone on the coffee table buzzed.
00:32It was Lila.
00:33Ava answered the call herself
00:35and held the phone right to Damien's ear.
00:38Damien, I can't breathe.
00:40I can't find my medicine.
00:42Damien stood up on instinct,
00:44ready to rush to Lila's side as always.
00:48Go.
00:50Don't you always go to her first?
00:52Damien froze for a second,
00:54then snatched his coat and stormed out the door.
00:57Alone, Ava walked upstairs.
00:59She hadn't come back for love.
01:01She was here for revenge.
01:03She'd lost her baby, her parents.
01:06Damien had buried all the truth to protect Lila.
01:09She uploaded the recording of tonight's call
01:11as her first piece of evidence.
01:12She thought he was gone,
01:14but she was wrong.
01:18Ava.
01:24Why didn't you stop me?
01:30People change.
01:32Go.
01:32Lila is still waiting for you.
01:36You're doing this just to punish me, aren't you?
01:40You're overthinking it.
01:42The door slammed shut behind him.
01:44He was gone.
01:46Alone, Ava sank into the memory of the night she lost her baby.
01:50Do you really think Damien belongs only to you?
01:54Lila lunged at her.
01:56Ava dodged, but missed a step and slammed her stomach into the railing.
02:01Damien ran over at the noise, but he didn't go to Ava first.
02:04Damien, I'm scared.
02:07Take me to the hospital, please.
02:09Damien.
02:10He took Lila and left, leaving Ava bleeding alone on the stairs.
02:14Her baby was gone.
02:16Back in the present, Ava walked into her walk-in closet.
02:19She ripped their photos was in half and threw them away without hesitation.
02:24The handmade rings from their vacation went next.
02:27She was letting go of every last memory.
02:30She headed straight for Damien's study, searching for evidence of her parents' car crash.
02:35She checked every drawer, every cabinet, every corner.
02:38There was nothing.
02:40Then she found an old backup phone hidden in the back of a drawer.
02:43She slipped it into her pocket.
02:45Her phone buzzed.
02:46Lila had posted a photo on Instagram, bragging that Damien was with her.
02:51Then an anonymous text came in.
02:53It was a photo of her parents' burned car wreck.
02:56See? Even if you know it was me, what can you do about it?
03:02Ava stared at her phone, her eyes growing colder by the second.
03:06You've been looking for so long, and you still haven't found a single thing, right?
03:10Even if I told you to your face that I had it done, what can you do about it?
03:14She quietly took skeep shots and saved everything to her encrypted email.
03:24Stop being so paranoid.
03:25Her words are just spiteful, not proof of murder.
03:28The most laughable moment was the day Ava took the clues to the police.
03:33Lila was with me on the night of the crash.
03:35She is emotionally unstable and unfit to continue.
03:41Ava felt her heart go completely cold.
03:43Her parents were dead.
03:45Her husband stood with the person who killed them.
03:49I will never get justice as long as he protects her.
03:53Not yet.
03:55I have to wait.
03:58Ava pulled the old phone from her pocket.
04:00The battery was still charged.
04:03Still the same password.
04:05A bank transfer to a private investigator.
04:09Damien had launched his own investigation right after the crash.
04:12Ava stayed awake the entire night, one step closer to the truth.
04:20Get ready.
04:21I'll pick you up soon.
04:22For what?
04:23To try on your wedding dress.
04:25I promised you a grand wedding.
04:29Ava closed her eyes.
04:31She could almost see their first wedding.
04:36If you show up at the wedding tomorrow, I'll die to prove a point.
04:40That night, Damien walked out without a word.
04:43He never came back.
04:45Ava put on her wedding dress.
04:46Damien never arrived.
04:48Mr. Cole is already on his way.
04:49Just a few more minutes.
04:53Pick up.
04:55Please pick up.
04:5699 calls.
04:58He didn't answer a single one.
04:59Ava sat waiting for a groom who never showed up.
05:04The groom isn't coming?
05:06What a disgrace.
05:07Poor thing.
05:08Everyone knows he never cared about her.
05:10Standing in her expensive gown, she looked like the joke of New York high society.
05:19Thank you all for coming.
05:21Please enjoy.
05:24On the other end, Damien was still waiting.
05:26Ava, are you listening?
05:28The venue, the dress, the guest list, we can do everything exactly how you want.
05:31No need.
05:33We already had a wedding.
05:34There's no need to waste money and time again.
05:36A brief silence fell over the line.
05:39Damien's voice turned rospy.
05:40He was almost pleading.
05:42Ava, you're still angry, aren't you?
05:44What do you want me to do to make you happy?
05:46If you still care about Lila, I can have her sent abroad right now.
05:50She said nothing.
05:52The silence was her answer.
05:55I'm not angry about Lila.
05:57She's the person you care about most, isn't she?
06:00I understand.
06:01As for the wedding, I really don't have the energy.
06:04All right.
06:05I have things to do.
06:07She hung up.
06:08The pressure on her chest finally eased.
06:11Twenty minutes later, her car pulled up outside the cemetery.
06:15Mom.
06:17Dad.
06:17Dad, I'm here to see you.
06:21I've been away too long.
06:23I'm sorry.
06:25Her parents always stood firmly behind her, no matter what happened.
06:32If there's ever a next time, the Sterling family will not let it go.
06:35Do you understand?
06:37If you ever come near her again, I'll make sure you regret it.
06:40Not long after, the car crash happened.
06:42I'm sorry for your loss.
06:44There were no survivors.
06:45It wasn't an accident.
06:46I know it wasn't.
06:47Every time she got close to the truth, someone severed the clues.
06:51Even Damien took Lila's side.
06:56I'm sorry.
06:58I was too useless.
07:02Just wait a little longer.
07:03I'm back now.
07:04This time, I won't let her get away.
07:16Who's there?
07:17Ava!
07:25Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?
07:31That has nothing to do with you.
07:37After all, when they were alive, they always loved interfering in things that weren't their business, didn't they?
07:53Damien, I was just worried about her.
07:56Why is she treating me like this again?
07:58Ava, that's enough.
08:03My necklace!
08:04I lost my necklace.
08:05That was the last thing my grandmother gave me.
08:09Damien, please.
08:09Please have someone clear the ground and look for it.
08:13Don't you dare.
08:15My parents are buried here.
08:17You don't touch a single inch of this ground.
08:21Call some people over.
08:23Open the ground.
08:28Are you insane?
08:29This is my parents' grave site!
08:32Unless I'm dead, none of you will lay a single finger on them!
08:37Ava, don't do this.
08:39I really just want my necklace back.
08:41Shut up!
08:46Her vision went black.
08:48The last thing she saw was Damien's horrified face as she collapsed.
08:54When Ava woke up, she was back at the villa.
08:57Damien sat by the bed, exhausted.
08:59How do you feel?
09:01You fainted at the cemetery.
09:03The doctor said you need rest.
09:04Why am I here?
09:06I would arrange the wedding.
09:08You just needed to be the bride.
09:10Ava found it deeply ironic.
09:12Lila didn't mean to.
09:13That necklace really is very important to her.
09:16I know.
09:20Damien was caught off guard.
09:21He left.
09:23The door clicked shut.
09:27On the rug beside the bed lay a diamond necklace.
09:31Lila's necklace.
09:33Ava pressed the edge.
09:35The pendant popped open.
09:37Inside was a tiny memory card.
09:44I want them silenced forever.
09:47It will be done.
09:48The transfer records matched the crash timeline.
09:51The evidence was complete.
09:55Where is my phone?
10:00I'm sorry, ma'am.
10:01Mr. Cole gave orders.
10:02You cannot leave here before the wedding.
10:07The wedding day.
10:09That will be my final chance.
10:14She gave the bodyguards a calm smile,
10:17turned around,
10:18and walked back upstairs.
10:30The wedding will start soon.
10:32Today is the day.
10:33Everything changes today.
10:36Do you really think marrying him a second time means you win?
10:39Last time I made him abandon you,
10:41this time it will be exactly the same.
10:43Are you done?
10:45Get out when you are.
10:46Don't dirty my space.
10:50The wedding was about to begin.
10:53Ava slipped away,
10:54saying she needed fresh air.
10:59The evidence is out.
11:00Police, lawyers, reporters.
11:04Lila was finished.
11:07What are you doing?
11:10Ava, don't do this!
11:13Not this time.
11:15You won't win.
11:25Save her!
11:26Hurry!
11:27Save her!
11:30Why did you push her?
11:31If anything happens to her,
11:33your life is over!
11:40Lila Hart,
11:42you are suspected of murder for hire,
11:44obstruction of justice,
11:45and destruction of evidence.
11:47You are now formally under arrest.
11:49Lila's world collapsed.
11:54It wasn't me!
11:56I didn't do anything!
11:58Help!
11:59Damien, help me!
12:01Tell them I didn't do it!
12:02Damien lunged at the railing,
12:03ready to throw himself in after Ava.
12:09I'm being framed!
12:11You have to listen to me!
12:17Suspect secured.
12:18Evidence from the necklace has been confiscated.
12:20The wedding Damien had spent so much effort preparing
12:23was utterly ruined.
12:31Was she injured before she went in?
12:34Can she swim?
12:37Damien couldn't answer a single question.
12:43We're listing her as missing at sea.
12:46No body,
12:47no death certificate.
12:49The chances of survival were practically zero.
12:53keep looking.
12:59She's still down there.
13:03For the first time,
13:05he felt true terror.
13:06He was terrified she really wasn't coming back.
13:18Lila refuses to see anyone.
13:20She only has one demand.
13:22She wants to see you.
13:26If it were in the past,
13:27he would have gone the second he heard those words.
13:31Should I arrange it?
13:34But this time,
13:35he only felt an overwhelming sense of disgust.
13:41Not yet.
13:45Bring me the evidence given to the police
13:47and notify the lawyers and head of security.
13:50My study,
13:51half an hour.
13:5620 minutes later,
13:57the desk was covered in files.
14:02Money isn't an issue.
14:04I only have one demand.
14:06That car has to crash.
14:09I want them silenced forever.
14:14I was with her that night.
14:16She couldn't have done it.
14:17He personally submitted a sworn statement.
14:18He thought he was protecting an innocent person.
14:22Those words were full of holes.
14:24But he had never stopped to think.
14:26Darian slammed the intercom.
14:28Five minutes later,
14:29the study was full of people.
14:31You all know the situation with Lila's case.
14:33Now I want every detail of that car crash re-examined.
14:36Old case file,
14:37police report,
14:38crime scene logs,
14:39forensic report.
14:40Do not miss a single thing.
14:43Damien,
14:43if one day you find out Lila has been lying to you the entire time,
14:47will you regret it?
14:48He hadn't answered her then.
14:50Now he knew the answer.
14:52Yes,
14:53but he might never get the chance to tell her.
15:04She left everything.
15:05Those rings.
15:07They had made them together at the beach.
15:08She said she'd keep them until they grew old.
15:16I'm going to keep them until we grow old.
15:30Damien!
15:31Hurry up!
15:31He had once possessed someone who genuinely loved him.
15:35But he chose wrong every single time.
15:39Damien,
15:40Klein has results.
15:41Minutes later,
15:42the entire investigation team had gathered.
15:45The final recipient of the funds was confirmed.
15:47A man named Mason Reed,
15:49DUI,
15:50assault record.
15:51He had stayed near Lila's hotel before the crash.
15:56Foster filled the gap in Lila's itinerary from that night.
15:58She left your side for nearly two hours.
16:00She didn't go to the hospital.
16:01She didn't go home.
16:02She went to meet Mason Reed.
16:03The day after the crash,
16:04she contacted the exact same number.
16:06Her medical records were mostly backdated.
16:08She was never severe enough to actually need him to rush over every time.
16:27Damien, you finally came.
16:30They're forcing me to confess.
16:33I wasn't in my right mind.
16:35I've been having episodes.
16:38Get me out of here first, okay?
16:40I was shaking all night.
16:42Go talk to the lawyers.
16:43Arrange bail for me.
16:45Once I'm out,
16:46I'll explain everything to you slowly.
16:49Damien finally raised his eyes to look at her.
16:52Explain what?
16:56Explain how you paid someone to temper with Ava's parents' car,
16:58or how you falsified your medical records and lied to me for all these years.
17:06You can't possibly believe these lies.
17:08It's not like that.
17:10Ava hates me.
17:11She must have prepared all this to frame me.
17:14The audio is your voice.
17:16The transfers came from your account.
17:18Hotel surveillance, location records, clinic files.
17:20I've checked them all.
17:22Lila, how long are you going to keep lying to me?
17:27Even if I did do it, so what?
17:29Didn't you make your choice a long time ago?
17:31You personally testified for me.
17:33You suppressed the case.
17:34Without you, Ava would never have reached this point.
17:39You can't abandon me!
17:40My father saved your family!
17:42The Cole family owes us a life!
17:43You have no right to abandon me!
17:45I owe your father.
17:45I don't owe you.
17:46And I definitely do not owe the two lives of Ava's parents.
17:49Ah!
17:50That afternoon, the news broke.
17:54After Lila's case entered the prosecution phase, the outside world assumed everything
17:58was over.
17:59She's been missing for so long.
18:01The chances of survival are incredibly low.
18:03You need to handle what comes next.
18:05But Damien couldn't hear a word of it.
18:08He didn't stop searching.
18:10A private clinic in Maine, the day after the wedding, an anonymous female patient, seawater
18:17infection, contusion on her right ribs, scrapes on her arm.
18:20She didn't use her real name, she used her mother's maiden name.
18:23Surveillance from a nearby hotel captured a woman.
18:25Her build looked very much like hers.
18:27She only stayed two nights, then rented a car and drove north.
18:30After that, the trail goes cold.
18:32But the hotel owner remembered her.
18:34She looked incredibly weak, and she asked where she could buy tickets to Iceland.
18:39The place he had tracked her down to bring her back.
18:42Quiet peace.
18:44A coastal town in northern Maine.
18:45Someone saw her.
18:48Damien recognized her in an instant.
18:51She didn't die.
18:52She was really still alive.
18:56The flower shop owner said she's been coming around, always alone.
19:01Very quiet.
19:02Every time she takes an extra bouquet of white ones.
19:09Book a flight.
19:10Now?
19:12This time, no matter if she wants to see me or not, I have to confirm she's alive.
19:17Even if it cost him everything.
19:25Two days before, she hired an old boat owner.
19:29Wait in the blind spot.
19:30Five minutes only.
19:31Jumping wasn't just about sending Leela to prison.
19:34It was to force Damien to watch her die.
19:46She finally closed her eyes and completely lost consciousness.
19:52When she woke up again, she was no longer in New York.
19:55You're in Maine.
19:56The seawater didn't freeze you to death.
19:58The rib is only concrued, not broken.
20:00The name on the registration form wasn't her real name.
20:03It was her mother's maiden name.
20:05From this moment on, the woman she had been in New York was dead.
20:08On the third day, the doctor warned her someone was asking around.
20:12Ava paid in cash, changed into an old sweater, and left.
20:18The wind is strong.
20:20Looking the way you do, you shouldn't be standing outside for long.
20:23Who are you?
20:24Ethan Rose.
20:25The man who lent you the boat knows me.
20:28Ava understood instantly.
20:29The old boat owner must have used his connections to ensure her safe passage.
20:36Thanks.
20:39Put it on.
20:40You don't look like you can survive another trip to the clinic.
20:43Looking at the jacket, which still carried his body heat,
20:46Ava didn't refuse for the first time.
20:48My car is over there.
20:49If you don't have a place to go, I can drive you into town.
20:52All right.
20:58This is a friend's empty place.
21:00It's a bit old, but quiet enough.
21:06The heating is old.
21:07I'll have someone look at it later.
21:08Get some rest.
21:10She drifted into an exhausted sleep.
21:14By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside.
21:19Medicine, bread, and hot soup.
21:22The doctor said nothing cold for the next few days.
21:25Early the next morning, Ava was woken up by the freezing temperature.
21:28The heating had indeed gone out.
21:33Why are you here?
21:34The heating broke.
21:36Go back inside.
21:37It's cold.
21:39By the time she came out again, the warmth had already returned to the room.
21:44Ethan stood up, dusting off his hands.
21:47It's fixed.
21:49Ava.
21:50My name.
21:51I'm Ava.
21:55Ava.
22:03I can do it myself.
22:05You can.
22:06But not today.
22:09That night, a massive rainstorm hit the coast.
22:12Ava woke from a nightmare in a cold sweat.
22:15Hot water.
22:16Drink a little.
22:17You'll feel better.
22:19If you want to stay quiet, stay quiet.
22:21No one here will force you to explain your past.
22:25She stopped checking the news in New York entirely.
22:28Same as yesterday.
22:29That marriage, that wedding, Damien, it all felt like it had been left behind in the sea.
22:34Ethan still came by, sometimes food, sometimes fixing the eaves.
22:38Other times, just a bag of firewood left by the door.
22:43That scandal over in New York is getting crazy.
22:47That missing bride...
22:50Ethan placed cash on the counter.
22:52He picked up the bags and guided Ava out of the supermarket.
22:57You didn't have to do that.
22:59Do what?
23:02Block the conversation for me.
23:04If you don't want to hear it, I'll make him shut up.
23:14The people here, they don't seem to pry into other people's business.
23:18People by the sea are like that.
23:19The wind and waves are loud enough.
23:21No one has the energy to care about what secrets you brought ashore.
23:26On the night of a heavy storm, the small town suddenly lost power.
23:31I figured your place would lose power.
23:38Ethan, why are you so good to me?
23:40I know you don't want to talk about the past, that's fine.
23:42I can wait.
23:43But when you're ready to start over, remember to consider me first.
23:47She wasn't sure what her own heart had yet.
23:49But that night, she realized she hadn't thought about Damien in a very long time.
24:01You're alive.
24:03Ava, I finally found you.
24:07Why are you hiding from me?
24:10Why wouldn't you even tell me you were alive?
24:12Ava, I've handed all the evidence to the police.
24:15Leela is going to pay.
24:16I know the crash wasn't an accident.
24:17I know she lied to me.
24:18I know how many stupid mistakes I made.
24:20Come back with me.
24:22This time, I promise I won't let anyone hurt you ever again.
24:26Go back for what?
24:27To continue being your wife?
24:29To live in that villa and pretend nothing ever happened?
24:31It won't be pretending.
24:33I will make it up to you.
24:36Damien, you still don't understand.
24:37I didn't jump just to send Leela to prison.
24:40I jumped to leave you too.
24:43When I lost the baby, you weren't on my side.
24:45When my parents died, you still weren't on my side.
24:48Even at the cemetery, you chose her.
24:51And now you're telling me you know you were wrong.
24:54But I don't want it anymore.
25:05Who is he?
25:08You don't need to know.
25:12Is he the reason you refused to come back with me?
25:14It has nothing to do with him.
25:16It's because I don't want to look back.
25:18You want to make it up to me?
25:19Fine.
25:20Sign the papers and give me a divorce.
25:23You should go.
25:24I'll have my lawyer send the divorce papers to you.
25:28But what Ava didn't expect was that Damien wouldn't leave.
25:31He stayed in the small town.
25:33Daytimes outside the flower shop.
25:35Nights at the crossroad by the sea.
25:37As if she might eventually soften if he just waited a little longer.
25:41But Ava never went out to see him once.
25:44On the evening of the third day, he finally caught Ava as she left the flower shop alone.
25:48Ava, let's talk.
25:54I thought I made myself clear the other day.
25:58I know you won't forgive me this quickly.
26:00But Ava, at least give me a chance to make amends.
26:02Lila's case is in prosecution.
26:04I've handed everything over.
26:05Come back with me.
26:06Once we're back in New York, you can treat me however you want.
26:08If you want an apology, if you want compensation, whatever I owe you, I'll pay it all back.
26:12Damien, you still don't understand.
26:14My pain was never just about Lila.
26:15It was because every single time, you chose her.
26:17After my parents died, you still chose her.
26:19You were willing to order people to dig up my parents' resting place just for her necklace.
26:24What if I had believed you back then?
26:29But you didn't.
26:32So is there really no chance for us at all?
26:35I don't hate you anymore.
26:38But I won't ever love you again.
26:44Sign them.
26:44If you actually have a snur of guilt left, don't drag this out any longer.
26:53As long as you sign, the process will move forward very quickly.
26:57He had once spent so much effort trying to keep Ava by his side.
27:01And now, she was personally severing their relationship for good.
27:05He stared at the signature line for a long time.
27:08But he simply couldn't bring himself to put pen to paper dot as long as he didn't sign.
27:14There was still one layer of legal connection.
27:22He remembered Ava used to stand beside him just like that.
27:28It was his own fault.
27:30He was the one who had slowly thrown her away.
27:33Are the papers signed?
27:36Do you really have to do this?
27:42Ava, if I sign, will you never see me again?
27:46Damien, this is far enough.
28:02Can I hug you one last time?
28:04No.
28:06From now on, don't come looking for me again.
28:19Lila's sentencing eventually came down.
28:22Heavy sentence.
28:23But when Ava heard it, she barely felt a thing.
28:27The people and events that had once trapped her were finally, thoroughly left in the past.
28:32Ethan didn't rush her.
28:33After the divorce, he continued to appear in her life exactly as he had before.
28:38Ava knew very clearly that Ethan was not Damien.
28:40Damien always made her wait, made her understand, made her compromise.
28:43But Ethan never demanded she do anything.
28:45He just stood quietly by her side, letting her choose.
28:48Ethan brought Ava to the very end of the pier.
28:57What about now?
29:00Now, are you willing to seriously consider me?
29:05He had never said beautiful, flowery things.
29:09But everything he did told her.
29:11She didn't have to carry it all alone anymore.
29:16Alright.
29:22You're the one who agreed first this time.
29:25No backing out later.
29:27I won't.
29:29The sea wind blew past them.
29:30But it wasn't cold at all.
29:32A few days later, at sunset, Ethan was already waiting at the door.
29:35Holding dinner and a newly replaced door lock.
29:38Ava walked over, taking the items from his hands.
29:40And now, she had finally chose a man who would never make her cry.
29:44I didn't last time.
29:44I haven't seen it.
29:44I wanted you to.
29:44But in the night, video land was around the room.
29:44At the heat they live or
29:44Was there feeling sorta mar depressed.
