00:04:44oh dear i'm not going there to accompany him
00:04:49i'm going to decide whether he gets harrington's money at all
00:05:00mr cole this must be mrs cole
00:05:04this is luna reed vertex public image consultant for charitable initiatives
00:05:07i see
00:05:08i hear harrington's representative will decide who gets the 50 million dollar matching fund tonight
00:05:12vertex must be confident
00:05:14the harrington's stay private and care about returns
00:05:17they have no reason to choose anyone else
00:05:35who let you in
00:05:37the one who invited me
00:05:58where did you get that badge
00:06:00mr cole
00:06:01mind your words miss cole holds harrington capital's own veto authority tonight
00:06:07serena if you wanted to see how events like this work you could have told us
00:06:10using the wrong title here could be very embarrassing
00:06:18a charity image consultant
00:06:20why is a pianist advising vertex on maternal emergency care
00:06:24i just want to use my influence to help more mothers
00:06:29good
00:06:29then at the project review i hope your influence can explain the service radius
00:06:34the on-call protocol and emergency dispatch committees
00:06:39enough
00:06:40don't bring your jealousy of luna into this
00:06:42tonight is about whether mothers and children make it to the hospital alive
00:06:48if she can't answer those questions
00:06:51it's the entire vertex group that'll be humiliated
00:07:00she's finally back
00:07:02by signing
00:07:03each party pledges that medical transport resources
00:07:07will follow clinical urgency alone
00:07:10free from private orders by donors
00:07:13shareholders
00:07:14or management
00:07:15mr cole
00:07:16why aren't you signing
00:07:21of course i'll sign
00:07:25in another life
00:07:26this was the very promise you broke with your own hands
00:07:34tonight one of three finalists will be chosen to run the north port maternal airlift program with startup funding from
00:07:40harrington
00:07:41first up please welcome vertex group
00:07:50vertex is prepared to donate 10 million dollars to the women's relief association and cover the full cost of operations
00:07:57for the first year
00:07:59before you begin i have a question
00:08:09vertex proposal gives the chairman priority dispatch in special circumstances what exactly qualifies as special
00:08:16commercial operations need flexibility
00:08:18a rescue aircraft needs flexibility between a wife bleeding out and a mistress risking a scar on her hand
00:08:26what the hell are you talking about
00:08:29i'm asking about the rules
00:08:31could a critical patient lose their only chance because the person in charge cares more about someone else
00:08:38that's a fair question
00:08:39emergency resources cannot become anyone's private property
00:08:45mr cole please answer the question directly
00:08:55mr verdicts please answer the question directly
00:09:02of course
00:09:03the mother comes first
00:09:05then put that in an irreservable clause
00:09:07clinical priority
00:09:08no chairman interference
00:09:10but in extreme cases the person in charge must have absolute authority
00:09:14so your answer isn't
00:09:15save the mother first
00:09:18it's
00:09:19save whoever you want to save
00:09:23serena
00:09:24why are you turning a charity project into a trial against us
00:09:27because
00:09:29to the people on that stage this is a gala
00:09:32but to those the aircraft never reaches
00:09:35it's a final goodbye
00:09:39i'm adrian shaw
00:09:41skybridge is our newly developed medical system
00:09:43independent medical dispatch
00:09:45a complete audit trial and no ceo privileges
00:09:47every financial record will remain permanently open and transparent
00:09:52you did this just to undermine me
00:09:56i'm just answering her question with action
00:10:02and now
00:10:03harrington group will announce its initial operating investment you think a badge and a nameplate give you control of harrington's
00:10:08fifty million dollar investment
00:10:09oh dear told you it was fifty million
00:10:11it's one hundred and fifty million dollars
00:10:19harrington is raising its commitment to one hundred and fifty million dollars what are the conditions
00:10:23three conditions
00:10:24first no private dispatch authority for the operating company's ceo
00:10:29second real-time operational data access for hospitals and donors
00:10:32third full disclosure of every related party rescue call from the past two years
00:10:39luna and i are just colleagues don't take this too far
00:10:41you and luna know exactly what your relationship is
00:10:44as long as i'm here you'll never get harrington's investment
00:10:46what gives you the right to speak for harrington
00:10:48miss serena is harrington capital's sole authorized representative
00:10:53he has full veto power tonight
00:10:57she just wants everyone to see that you still care about her
00:11:01oh luna you misunderstand
00:11:03i'm not here to fight over him
00:11:13i'm here to decide whether he still deserves a seat at this table
00:11:25serena withdraw it now
00:11:29you can demand that your wife obey
00:11:32but you cannot command harrington's special representative
00:11:42this time harrington will not name a winner outright
00:11:48instead we'll fund a 30-day medical airlift trial
00:11:52it will be jointly run by the hospitals
00:11:55an independent dispatch center
00:11:57and skybridge
00:11:58of course
00:12:00vertex may bid again after 30 days
00:12:03provided damien cole gives up all private dispatch authority
00:12:17looks like we'll be working very closely over the next 30 days
00:12:22then i hope you make the most of this opportunity
00:12:40when did you meet adrian
00:12:47not for much longer
00:12:48i think this would make me beg you to step

00:18:41my friends mistook serena for someone else
00:18:44i already told them they were wrong
00:18:47you know
00:18:48i'm not that kind of person
00:18:49right mr cole
00:18:55enough
00:18:56it's not that serious
00:18:58serena make it clear next time
00:19:00after all she was a student you sponsored
00:19:08you said she was one of the students i sponsor right
00:19:11then teaching her some manners is my responsibility too
00:19:17damien
00:19:18serena's just a housewife
00:19:19she's bound to mess up at an event like this
00:19:22i speak several languages i can translate for you
00:19:25why don't i go in with you
00:19:26fine
00:19:29serena
00:19:30i didn't expect to see you again so soon
00:19:33with all these people here you came over just to see me
00:19:38harvard star graduate that year
00:19:39fluence in ten languages
00:19:41i would have been rude not to show up
00:19:44you looked into me
00:19:52you addressed the u.n. at 17
00:19:55harvard still has you on its wall of distinction
00:19:58no digging required
00:19:59none of the time
00:20:18and i see you on the other hand
00:20:29and i have a great name
00:20:32Serena, Andrey's a major player from Ukraine. Knowing a few phrases doesn't make you fluent. One mistake could cost Damien
00:20:39the deal.
00:21:02What did he say?
00:21:05He said he's in.
00:21:08As for who he signs with, that's another story.
00:21:15Damien, I hear Serena's a wonderful pianist. Why not have her play for Mr. Andrey?
00:21:20It shows some real goodwill, just to show we're serious.
00:21:28Luna, the deal is done. Stop making a scene.
00:21:31I'm not making a scene. Serena plays beautifully. As the lady of Vertex, shouldn't she show some sincerity?
00:21:42Or is it Serena actually can't play?
00:22:10Serena, we just closed the deal. If you mess this up, it was all for nothing. You don't have to
00:22:14try this hard to impress me.
00:22:18Let go.
00:22:24Who said this was for you? I play for myself.
00:22:38Don't worry, Damien. This is only the beginning.
00:22:50She can actually play?
00:22:56She speaks Ukrainian, and she plays the piano. Mr. Damien, you're a lucky man.
00:23:01Absolutely. You two are perfect together. That kind of playing you don't forget.
00:23:08You flatter me.
00:23:15Beautiful piece.
00:23:17I hope it's good.
00:23:19It's good.
00:23:20As soon as I get back home, I'll have a contract with you again.
00:23:24Come back home, boy, Korda.
00:23:28I wanted her to embarrass herself, and instead she stole the whole room.
00:23:36All this time, I never knew she could play.
00:23:41Serena!
00:23:49Serena!
00:23:49Serena!
00:23:50Come here!
00:23:52Now!
00:23:59Mom!
00:23:59What are you doing here?
00:24:00If I didn't come, should I just stand by and watch you keep dragging Virx's name through the mud with
00:24:05her?
00:24:08Mom, you've got it wrong. This deal was closed by Serena.
00:24:13Her?
00:24:14A housewife who can't even give you a child, and you expect me to believe she can negotiate business?
00:24:23Oh, Catherine. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe I'm not the problem?
00:24:28How dare you speak to me like that!
00:24:31Mom, Serena didn't mean it like that.
00:24:34We only secured the deal because Serena can speak Ukrainian. That's why Andre agreed. Everyone here saw it.
00:24:40He's right. Her piano performance was remarkable, too.
00:24:44So weird. He actually spoke up for me.
00:24:47A woman who's good for nothing.
00:24:50I don't know why you keep her around.
00:24:58Come on. I'll take you home.
00:25:01Damien's mother wants a grandchild more than anything.
00:25:04Serena can't give her one.
00:25:05Whoever gets pregnant first will become the future lady of the Vertex family.
00:25:10So what if you married into the Vertex family? Just wait and see.
00:25:19I lost my chance with you once. This time, I won't let you go.
00:25:38Damien, it's my birthday. I'm having a little dinner tonight. Can you make it?
00:25:42She's still young. If I skip her birthday, she'll just make a scene again.
00:25:47Serena's family dinner can wait. Don't worry. I'll be there.
00:25:54Sir, you're supposed to be going to the family dinner with Serena.
00:25:57Tell her to go without me. I've got something else to take care of.
00:26:02Ma'am, Mr. Cole said you should go to the family dinner without him. He's not coming.
00:26:06Something else? He's going to Luna's birthday. Of course he is.
00:26:09He's got it. Makes no difference to me whether he's there or not.
00:26:19Damien, this time, I'm going to make you mine.
00:26:23Once I'm carrying your child, Serena won't matter anymore.
00:26:30I'm here.
00:26:39Luna?
00:26:54Serena? I knew you still loved me.
00:26:58Mr. Damien, I'm not Serena. I'm Luna.
00:27:04Why is it you?
00:27:07It's always been me.
00:27:11I just wanted to give you a surprise.
00:27:14Wait.
00:27:16You've always been busy on my birthday.
00:27:18Could you stay with me this year?
00:27:20I said I have plans. Stop bothering me.
00:27:28You don't like it?
00:27:29All those times, I never spent a single one with her.
00:27:33No wonder she's been acting like a completely different person.
00:27:37Luna, enough.
00:27:39I have things to do today. I'm leaving.
00:27:45Serena, I will never let you get away of this.
00:27:58Sir, weren't you supposed to be celebrating Miss Luna's birthday? What happened?
00:28:04We're going to Serena's family dinner.
00:28:06Yes, sir. The car's already downstairs.
00:28:13So, Serena, here alone again?
00:28:16We never see your husband at these family dinners.
00:28:19We were starting to think you were a widow.
00:28:22At least my marriage isn't every weekend.
00:28:27Stop pretending, Serena.
00:28:29Everyone at this table knows Damien would rather be anywhere than beside his wife.
00:28:35Maybe Damien will be here later.
00:28:37Come on. Spare me.
00:28:38Her husband's missing. Her parents are missing.
00:28:41Looks like nobody's lining up to claim Serena today.
00:28:44Oh, come on. Give her a break. She's already sitting here alone.
00:28:48Serena, have you tried calling Damien?
00:28:55You know what? Maybe your parents were lucky.
00:29:00They never had to stand here and watch their daughter become a woman nobody chooses.
00:29:12How dare you?
00:29:14You can insult me. You can question my marriage.
00:29:17But you will never disrespect my parents.
00:29:20Not while I am standing here.
00:29:24You humiliate me in front of everyone.
00:29:26And you think you can just walk away?
00:29:28I should teach you some manners.
00:29:32Enough.
00:29:34You don't get to touch her.
00:29:38Let go.
00:29:45Do you know what your biggest mistake was?
00:29:47You thought my silence meant weakness.
00:29:50It didn't.
00:29:51It was mercy.
00:29:52And you've just run out of it.
00:29:54Follow me.
00:29:55Follow me.
00:29:59Follow me.
00:30:06Oh, Damien, I have to admit.
00:30:08You always know how to impress people.
00:30:13Come on.
00:30:14Let me take you to your seat.
00:30:17I don't know why you're doing this, Damien.
00:30:20But it's too late.
00:30:25Serena?
00:30:30She pushed me away.
00:30:32Is it because she found out I went to Luna's birthday?
00:30:35Is she jealous?
00:30:36I was wrong today.
00:30:38From now on, I'll be there for every one of your birthdays, okay?
00:30:47This time, can you forgive me?
00:31:08Damien, I don't understand what you're trying to do right now.
00:31:12You betrayed me.
00:31:16You broke what we had.
00:31:21And now, you think one simple apology
00:31:25can put everything back the way it was.
00:31:31That's not gonna happen.
00:31:41Serena!
00:31:44What is going on with you, Damien?
00:31:47You're acting like a completely different person.
00:31:49Because I am different.
00:31:52You destroyed everything, Damien.
00:31:54And no matter how many times you say you're sorry,
00:31:56I can never forgive you.
00:32:09I'm your father.
00:32:11Finally home?
00:32:20Wait...
00:32:22Today's the day.
00:32:28Your Aunt Lucy told me what happened at the family dinner
00:32:31Who gave you the nerve to raise your hand against an elder?
00:32:35Maybe you should worry about your sister's mouth
00:32:37Not my nerve
00:32:39Mom
00:32:42Emma, bring me the wine I brought home this morning
00:32:46It's a little nightcap to help you sleep
00:32:50You've both had a long day
00:32:52Drink it and get some rest
00:32:54That's how Damien and I conceived the child I later lost
00:32:56I won't let that tragedy happen again
00:33:01Thanks, Mom
00:33:07Thanks, Mom
00:33:08A wine this good deserves to be enjoyed in private
00:33:11Of course
00:33:12Drink it and get some rest
00:33:19What are you doing?
00:33:21Nothing

00:53:28I didn't mean to lie to you
00:53:29Damien really is my boyfriend
00:53:31he and Serena don't love each other
00:53:33Serena is clinging to the title
00:53:34of wife and refusing to divorce him
00:53:36you still should have told us
00:53:37we treated you like a friend
00:53:39and you used us
00:53:52Serena
00:53:54this is all your fault
00:54:03so that's how it is
00:54:06so you can play this game
00:54:07let's see how you like
00:54:09being the center of attention
00:54:12Damien's mother
00:54:13is extremely traditional
00:54:14she found out her daughter-in-law
00:54:15was walking around
00:54:16with another man
00:54:17I wonder what she'd think
00:54:27Serena
00:54:28I was worried
00:54:29you wouldn't want to come back
00:54:30when the dean invites me
00:54:31how could I say no
00:54:32people still talk about
00:54:33what you accomplished here
00:54:34there are a few girls here today
00:54:36who've been dying to meet you
00:54:40sure
00:54:44Serena
00:54:44we've wanted to meet you
00:54:46for so long
00:54:47we've all been wanting
00:54:48to ask you
00:54:49about your project
00:54:50we think it's incredible
00:54:56what did you say
00:54:56to those girls back there
00:54:57their eyes were practically glowing
00:55:01I told them never to give up
00:55:02what they believe in
00:55:03for anyone
00:55:07did you
00:55:12I did
00:55:17what you said last night
00:55:18that you died once
00:55:18I told you
00:55:19I was drunk
00:55:21it didn't sound like it
00:55:22you don't have to tell me now
00:55:25but I want you to know
00:55:28I'm not just trying to find out
00:55:29your secret
00:55:30I just
00:55:31don't want you to carry
00:55:32everything alone
00:55:47looks like she already knows
00:55:49I moved out
00:55:54Serena
00:55:54you have half an hour
00:55:56come back to
00:55:57Vertex Manon
00:55:58immediately
00:56:04something happened
00:56:09I need to go back
00:56:10to Damien's house
00:56:11I'll drive you
00:56:21thank you for driving me here
00:56:23I'll treat you to dinner next time
00:56:24you said it
00:56:25I'll remember
00:56:26it's late
00:56:27I should go inside
00:56:30Serena
00:56:32one day
00:56:33I'll stand beside you openly
00:56:54you still have the nerve to come back
00:56:58do you remember that you are still Damien's wife
00:57:03how could you do something like this
00:57:06so Luna took these photos
00:57:08five more days
00:57:10Vertex will collapse
00:57:12not now
00:57:14I can't lose control
00:57:17mom I was used
00:57:19there is nothing inappropriate between Adrian and me
00:57:23then how do you explain these
00:57:25Adrian has always been Damien's competitor
00:57:30I thought if I could help ease the tension between both sides
00:57:33it would benefit the family business
00:57:36but someone took these photos and twisted the situation
00:57:40fine
00:57:41this ends here
00:57:43but if I see something like this again
00:57:45I won't let it slide
00:57:54Luna
00:57:55so this is how badly you want to become part of this family
00:58:03unfortunately
00:58:06in five days
00:58:08your dream ends
00:58:22Adrian
00:58:23good news

00:58:39I knew this was the right decision
00:58:42an independent operation was the only way
00:58:44this project could truly grow
00:58:48Mr. Shaw
00:58:49this report wouldn't be possible without your help
00:58:52once I finish dealing with everything recently
00:58:54I owe you dinner

00:59:49everything was stable
00:59:52how did this happen
00:59:56Blake
00:59:57tell me the truth
00:59:58we investigated overnight
01:00:00the problems we've been facing
01:00:02they all lead back to the same group of anonymous investors
01:00:06the right behind them is connected to Harrington
01:00:25who gave the order?
01:00:27no direct order found
01:00:30but one of the shell companies
01:00:32the registered address
01:00:33traces back to Harrington
01:00:39connected to Harrington
01:00:41then there's only one way to find out
01:00:46you have the Harrington address, right?
01:00:49yes
01:00:49but without an appointment
01:00:51we won't be able to get in
01:00:53Vertex is already on the edge of collapse
01:00:56do you really think I still care about an appointment?
01:01:02let's go
01:01:10I can't believe
01:01:11it's been so long
01:01:12since I stepped into this house
01:01:14President
01:01:14during all these years
01:01:15the shareholders have been waiting for your return
01:01:17back then
01:01:19I was the one who chose to leave
01:01:22for someone else
01:01:23I turned my back on Harrington
01:01:25and disappointed everyone who believed in me
01:01:31but now
01:01:33it's time to settle this
01:01:43I'm Damien

01:02:34Vertex is really finished
01:02:48we've been standing here since morning
01:02:50the lights are on inside
01:02:51but no one is coming out
01:02:55just wait
01:02:59maybe we should come back tomorrow
01:03:04let's go
01:03:29Damien
01:03:29you're back
01:03:30why are you still here?
01:03:31I told you to leave after finishing your homework
01:03:33the servants told me
01:03:35the servants told me you left early this morning
01:03:36I was worried about you
01:03:39you're carrying everything alone
01:03:41seeing you like this hurts me
01:04:07I'm sorry
01:04:10I'm sorry
01:04:12I'm sorry
01:04:12what am I just waiting here to say
01:04:13Is that you?
01:04:14Yes.
01:04:29Serena...
01:04:30She's still calling her name.
01:04:36Fine.
01:04:37Then I'll take everything that should have been hers.
01:04:59Why are you in my bed?
01:05:03Damien, last night you were drunk.
01:05:05You kept calling Serena's name.
01:05:07You thought I was her.
01:05:10Why?
01:05:10I've loved you for so long.
01:05:14I was willing to do this.
01:05:18If you're going to divorce Serena anyway,
01:05:22let me become your wife.
01:05:26Enough.
01:05:28My wife is only one person.
01:05:32Serena, I will never divorce her.
01:05:36You, leave.
01:05:42Why?!
01:05:43She's leaving you!
01:05:44Why can't you let her go?!
01:05:49I need you to kill someone.
01:05:51Her name is Serena.
01:05:52Money is not a problem.
01:05:54I want her dead.
01:06:01Serena.
01:06:01Serena.
01:06:02Don't blame me.
01:06:04You brought this on yourself.
01:06:05You brought this on yourself.
01:06:15Serena.
01:06:16How did you find me?
01:06:18One of the old servants mentioned seeing you around here.
01:06:21I looked into this building.
01:06:23It's under Adrian's name.
01:06:24Serena, someone like Adrian doesn't do anything without a reason.
01:06:27You need to be careful.
01:06:29This apartment was originally a Vertex property.
01:06:31I transferred it to your name.
01:06:32You can live here for as long as you want.
01:06:34We're almost divorced, so what exactly are you trying to do?
01:06:37I know I was wrong.
01:06:39I hurt you.
01:06:39I came here because I want us to go back to the way we were.
01:06:42I heard you know several investors.
01:06:44If we get back together, you can help Vertex.
01:06:46Introduce me to new investors.
01:06:47We can be like we used to be.
01:06:49Enough.
01:06:51Damien, I'm not getting back together with you.
01:06:53We need to accept that.
01:06:55Why?
01:06:57Because loving you is something that disgusts me now.
01:07:01Keep your card.
01:07:13Serena, wait.
01:07:14Let go.
01:07:17You don't get to stop me anymore.
01:07:41You don't get to stop me anymore.
01:07:46Forget about my personal matters.
01:07:48Find out what Harrington is planning.
01:07:50Yes.
01:07:52Everything is moving according to plan.
01:07:54Vertex partners are losing confidence.
01:07:57Good.
01:07:58Keep pushing.
01:08:00But don't let anyone know Harrington is behind this.
01:08:04Understood.
01:08:11Damien, you thought losing you was the hardest thing I would ever experience.
01:08:17But the hardest thing was losing myself.
01:08:26What do you want?
01:08:28Come somewhere with me.
01:08:29I'm not going.
01:08:30You have to.
01:08:31If you still refuse to change your mind after we get there, I'll never pester you again.
01:08:35I swear.
01:08:49What is all this?
01:08:51It's your birthday party.
01:08:52Do you like it?
01:08:53When we were still a couple, you never arranged anything like this for me.
01:08:57Now Vertex is on the verge of failure, and you suddenly remember my birthday.
01:09:01Unfortunately, it's far too late.
01:09:05It's all right.
01:09:11Serena, happy birthday.
01:09:14I don't want the ring.
01:09:16Then what do you want?
01:09:17Tell me, and I'll give it to you.
01:09:18I want all the property of your family.
01:09:20Will you give it to me?
01:09:22What an outrageous demand.
01:09:25Even if my son agrees to give you everything, do you dare take it?
01:09:29Mom, why are you here?
01:09:35You're still hanging around, even when the divorce is on the table.
01:09:39Mom, we're not getting divorced.
01:09:41We've been married for three years.
01:09:43What has she ever done for this family?
01:09:45How dare she ask for our assets?
01:09:48The Verge family doesn't need a useless daughter-in-law like you.
01:09:53Fine by me.
01:09:57I've already signed it.
01:09:59If you can get your son to sign it, too, we can get divorced right this minute.
01:10:04Serena.
01:10:07Sign it!
01:10:08Sign it now!
01:10:13The lawyers believe she may own a stake in the North Harbor operating company.
01:10:17Mom, I'm not signing this.
01:10:19If you sign now, we can still request a review of the marital assets.
01:10:23But if you wait finishes restructuring everything, you'll get nothing.
01:10:31But...
01:10:32But what?
01:10:33Do you want this entire family to go bankrupt?
01:10:35Sign it!
01:10:40It's done.
01:10:41You two are history.
01:10:43So I think it's time we talk about that 50% cut from everything you've got.
01:10:50Did you forget?
01:10:52When I married into this family, you made me sign an agreement stating that I would leave
01:10:55with nothing.
01:10:56That agreement works both ways.
01:10:58You don't get a single dollar from me.
01:11:00But since you're both so desperate for money, consider this charity.
01:11:07Everything between us ends here.
01:11:10It's time to say goodbye to the past.
01:11:21Relax.
01:11:23You took the money, and we'll make sure she never shows her face in front of you again.
01:11:35Sir, something's happened.
01:11:38Miss Serena has been kidnapped.
01:11:43What?
01:11:45Where is she?
01:11:46Our people tracked her to an abandoned warehouse outside the city.
01:11:49The kidnappers are repeat offenders.
01:11:51They're known to be extremely violent.
01:11:58All of you move.
01:12:00Now.
01:12:09Who hired you?
01:12:14Does it matter?
01:12:16Someone paid for your life.
01:12:18You're not walking out of here today.
01:12:23If you kill me, you'll regret it.
01:12:28You're the one who should be worried about regret.
01:12:37It was Luna, wasn't it?
01:12:41Pretty clever.
01:12:47Shame that doesn't come with a survival plan.
01:12:57Wait!
01:13:02Let me go, and I'll pay you ten times what she offered.
01:13:07Ten times?
01:13:08If you kill me, you only get the remaining payment.
01:13:11Let me go, and I guarantee you'll never have to worry about money again.
01:13:17Ten times is tempting.
01:13:19But a woman like you?
01:13:22I think I'll have a little fun first.
01:13:28Get your hands off me!
01:13:38You're so dead!
01:13:49Serena!
01:13:50Serena!
01:14:06Deal with him.
01:14:07Yes, sir.
01:14:24Damien.
01:14:25Damien.
01:14:28Did you find her?
01:14:30Where's Serena?
01:14:32Serena!
01:14:33Serena!
01:14:35Where's Serena?
01:14:37Where's Serena?
01:14:39Where's Serena?
01:14:48This was all they found at the scene.
01:14:59How could this happen?
01:15:01How...
01:15:10No injuries.
01:15:11She's just shaken up.
01:15:12Give her some quiet time, and she'll be fine.
01:15:19I heard from Blake.
01:15:20Damien knows you were kidnapped.
01:15:21He's searching the entire city for you.
01:15:25Do you want to see him?
01:15:28No.
01:15:31Adrian, I need you to do something for me.
01:15:33Name it.
01:15:34Announce it to the public.
01:15:35I'm dead.
01:15:36I want to see their true colors.
01:15:38Once they think I'm gone.
01:15:40Luna.
01:15:41My revenge wasn't even on the table yet.
01:15:43And you came for my life first.
01:15:46Fine.
01:15:49Then I don't need to hold back anymore.
01:15:51Let the whole world think I'm dead.
01:15:54Let's see if you dare show up to my funeral and laugh.
01:16:00All right.
01:16:02I'll take care of it.
01:16:05Sir.
01:16:07The news is already out.
01:16:09What news?
01:16:11News of Serena's death.
01:16:13Who spread it?
01:16:14Have no idea.
01:16:15But it's everywhere now.
01:16:16Is she really dead?
01:16:23It's all my fault.
01:16:24If I hadn't made that choice, she never would have left.
01:16:26No one would have targeted her.
01:16:27She wouldn't have.
01:16:29Have you found out who hired them?
01:16:31The kidnappers haven't talked.
01:16:33But we uncovered something else.
01:16:35What?
01:16:36The person who donated a kidney to you was your wife.
01:16:41Luna told me it was her.
01:16:42She lied to me?
01:16:43Yes.
01:16:44And there's more.
01:16:46Every time your stomach condition flared up at the office,
01:16:49Mrs. Harrington had lunch delivered to you.
01:16:51Luna turned it away at the door every single time.
01:16:55Your secretary was only willing to admit it today.
01:16:57I threw away someone who loved me that much.
01:17:03I want Serena to have the grandest funeral possible.
01:17:06Sir.
01:17:06When she was alive, all I ever gave her was pain.
01:17:09This time, I'll let her leave with the dignity she deserved.
01:17:11It is the least I owe her.
01:17:13The news of your death has spread everywhere.
01:17:16Damien is arranging an elaborate funeral.
01:17:18It appears he's genuinely shaken.
01:17:19What about Luna?
01:17:20She believes you're dead.
01:17:22She's been making her move, trying to secure her place beside Damien.
01:17:26But there's something else.
01:17:27Vertex's cross-de-Gaulc clause have been triggered.
01:17:29The board has authorized Harrington to participate in the restructuring.
01:17:32Once the court confirms the liquidation, we'll be able to take control of its core assets.
01:17:36Follow the legal process.
01:17:37The maternal air transfer program remains independent.
01:17:39It is not to be folded into the acquisition.
01:17:41Understood.
01:17:42We also have Luna's call records, payment transfers, and a witness.
01:17:45The evidence is complete.
01:17:46We can have her arrested any time.
01:17:47What's the rush?
01:17:48Let her enjoy the spotlight one last time, at my funeral.
01:17:58Who's the woman standing next to Damien?
01:18:00I heard she was a student Serena once sponsored.
01:18:03Maybe she came to pay her respects.
01:18:05Serena, I invited everyone I could.
01:18:09Wherever you are, I hope you can finally rest in peace.
01:18:16Serena, I'm sorry.
01:18:17I should never have taken credit for everything you did for Damien.
01:18:20If you can forgive me, I'll do anything.
01:18:23Anything?
01:18:31You're supposed to be dead.
01:18:35I'm sorry.
01:18:38If I were, wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted?
01:18:41I don't know what you're talking about.
01:18:45Serena, I knew you couldn't just leave me like that.
01:18:50If you were alive, why didn't you come back sooner?
01:18:52Why wait until your own funeral to make a seat?
01:18:55Damien lives this, loves you so much.
01:18:58And you faked your death just to deceive him.
01:19:02That's cruel.
01:19:03I'm cruel?
01:19:04Then what do you call hiring someone to kill me?
01:19:08I don't know what you're talking about.
01:19:11You don't know?
01:19:14Then explain these.
01:19:20It was you?
01:19:21Damien, she's framing me.
01:19:22Enough!
01:19:23You're the one who crossed the line, and now you're trying to blame someone else?
01:19:28Whether it's a setup or the truth, we're about to find out.
01:19:42Tell everyone exactly what you know.
01:19:47It was her!
01:19:48She offered me a million dollars to kill you!
01:19:50That's not true!
01:19:51I don't even know him!
01:19:52How could I possibly afford to hire a killer?
01:19:54You were the one paying my tuition!
01:19:57She's lying!
01:19:58She called me herself and told me to kill Serena.
01:20:01I recorded the whole thing.
01:20:06Serena just left the party.
01:20:07This is your chance.
01:20:08Make sure she doesn't walk away alive.
01:20:10Otherwise, you won't see a cent of the remaining 500,000.
01:20:16I can't believe this.
01:20:18I was blind to ever trust you.
01:20:21Damien, please let me explain!
01:20:23That recording is fake!
01:20:24Serena set this whole thing up to frame me!
01:20:27Get away from me!
01:20:29Damien, you have to believe me!
01:20:31Serena is lying!
01:20:32She's trying to take everything away from me!
01:20:40Is there something you want to say?
01:20:47Serena, I'm sorry.
01:20:48I was a fool.
01:20:50Luna deceived me.
01:20:54Come back to me.
01:20:55From now on, we can...
01:20:56I already signed the divorce papers.
01:20:58Whatever we were, it's over.
01:21:00Since everyone is here, let me make this perfectly clear.
01:21:03Damien and I were legally divorced two weeks ago.
01:21:06From this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other.
01:21:09I always believed you truly loved my son, so it was all an act?
01:21:13You're nothing but a liar!
01:21:15Mom, don't...
01:21:15Wake up!
01:21:16If it weren't for you, Harrington would have invested in us.
01:21:20And Verdix would have secured the air medical transfer contract!
01:21:24You and that man worked together to destroy Vertex.
01:21:27What did this family ever do to deserve this?
01:21:29I remember now.
01:21:30Serena rejected Vex's proposal at the charity gala.
01:21:32That's why they lost the medical contract.
01:21:34I heard the program is operating independently now.
01:21:36Divorced Damien, now she's planning to run off with her lover.
01:21:38That's cold.
01:21:40Hear that?
01:21:41Let Vertex back into the project, and I might still help you save your reputation.
01:21:45Otherwise, I'll make sure you're publicly ruined.
01:21:48Catherine, I married your son.
01:21:50I don't think my reputation could possibly sink any lower than that.
01:22:03Ma'am, she is not someone you get to lay a hand on.
01:22:07Who the hell are you to interfere in my family's business?
01:22:10What are you doing here?
01:22:13If I hadn't come, they would have kept trying to bully you.
01:22:16No one gets to bully me anymore.
01:22:18So this is why you're acting so bold today.
01:22:21You've been with Adrian all along!
01:22:23So this is who you've always believed I was?
01:22:25Damien, I thought Luna had simply blinded you.
01:22:29Now I see the truth.
01:22:30You're exactly like your mother.
01:22:32Selfish, stupid, incapable of seeing anything beyond yourselves.
01:22:36You seduced Adrian like some cheap whore.
01:22:40Who do you think you are?
01:22:41What gives you the right to do whatever you want here?
01:22:44Because of who she is.
01:22:46And she is someone you cannot afford to cross.
01:22:50Grant, what are you doing here?
01:22:52Madam President, my apologies for being late.
01:22:57President?
01:22:58What are you talking about?
01:22:59Serena is just a housewife.
01:23:01You must have the wrong person.
01:23:02I have served the president of Harrington for years.
01:23:04I assure you I know her face better than anyone.
01:23:06No.
01:23:07That's impossible.
01:23:08You were with me for years, and you never told me who you were.
01:23:11This has to be fake!
01:23:12You're staging this!
01:23:13Exactly!
01:23:14Serena couldn't possibly be the head of Harrington.
01:23:16Her lover arranged this whole performance just to humiliate us.
01:23:19You really do have to learn everything the hard way.
01:23:22As of this morning, Vertex Group has officially entered bankruptcy.
01:23:26This is the court-approved liquidation statement.
01:23:29Effective today, Vertex no longer belongs to the Harrington family's debtors, or to you.
01:23:33It has been acquired by our president.
01:23:36What?
01:23:38Damien, what is happening?
01:23:39Is Serena really the head of Harrington?
01:23:44Serena, this is all just a misunderstanding.
01:23:47After all these years with my son, you wouldn't completely destroy us, would you?
01:23:50We're still family.
01:23:51Please, give Vertex back to Damien's.
01:23:54Family?
01:23:56Catherine, was there ever a single moment when you truly treated me like family?
01:23:59Don't worry.
01:24:01Everything you did to me, I will return in full.
01:24:04Even if it leaves you with nothing, I won't stop.
01:24:16It's over.
01:24:17I've lost everything.
01:24:30Thank you for being here today.
01:24:34You said you'd take me out to dinner.
01:24:36Is that offer still on the table?
01:24:40Do you like me?
01:24:42So, you figured it out?
01:24:48Hello, Mr. Shaw.
01:24:51Let's get to know each other all over again.
01:24:54Serena Harrington, head of the Harrington family.
01:24:59Adrian Shaw, a man who's been waiting for you.
01:25:03Waiting for me?
01:25:04For a long time.
01:25:06Waiting for you to be free.
01:25:08And waiting for you to choose me because you wanted to.
01:25:32Welcome, everyone, to the Harrington family press conference.
01:25:38And I will lead the Harrington family into a new chapter.
01:25:42As of today, I am officially returning as president of Harrington.
01:25:49Ms. Harrington, congratulations on your return to Harrington Group.
01:25:53Over the past year, the public has watched everything you've been through.
01:25:57Some people question whether you could come back from everything that happened.
01:26:04If you had to sum up this chapter of your life in one sentence, what would you say?
01:26:12I used to think that finding someone who me was the answer to everything.
01:26:16But I was wrong.
01:26:18A woman's life should never be defined by whether someone chooses her.
01:26:22Your life begins the moment you choose yourself.
01:26:25I've had to make a, you know, a woman's life for her.
01:26:25That's fascinating.
01:26:26I don't know.
01:26:27And I want to use the mother.
01:26:30See you next time.
01:26:30Bye.
01:26:31Bye.
01:26:33Bye.
