00:00:00The surveillance footage that proves your innocence.
00:00:03I found it, but the video has been tempered with.
00:00:07The video is restored.
00:00:08I served five years in prison.
00:00:10My only support in the Foster family personally sent me to the police station.
00:00:14Even if he dies at home today, don't bother with her.
00:00:17You are the curse of the Foster family.
00:00:20I didn't hit and run.
00:00:21He was the one who hit and run and framed me.
00:00:23And I suffered all kinds of humiliation and torture in prison.
00:00:26Between castration and having my legs broken.
00:00:28I chose having my legs broken.
00:00:29Treating an adopted son like a treasure.
00:00:31But discarding the biological son like a worn out shoe.
00:00:34But your biological son asks for 100 and he's a spend thing!
00:00:38I'm number one.
00:00:39I came here today for two things.
00:00:41First, to uncover the truth of the car accident.
00:00:43Second, I'm a...
00:00:45Dis-own-jment paper?
00:00:47You want to sever ties with the Falsters?
00:00:48Because the surveillance has been repaired.
00:00:59I'm number three, four, five, zero, one.
00:01:01Someone has come to see you.
00:01:11The surveillance footage that proves your innocence.
00:01:14I found it.
00:01:17But...
00:01:18The video has been tempered with.
00:01:20I've already asked the technicians to restore the video file.
00:01:22How long will it take?
00:01:24Seven hours.
00:01:27Naomi.
00:01:29Liam.
00:01:30You and I grew up together in the orphanage.
00:01:32You are not my blood, but you are more than family.
00:01:35I thought that the Fosters taking you back would give you a better life.
00:01:39I never expected.
00:01:40Life with the Fosters...
00:01:42Is like hell.
00:01:49Liam.
00:01:50The business plan you asked me to start five years ago has succeeded.
00:01:54Now our company's market value far exceeds the Foster Group.
00:01:58Today is the day you get out of prison.
00:01:59After you prove your innocence, leave the Foster family,
00:02:04and come to the company as chairman.
00:02:08But the Fosters...
00:02:14I have no more lingering attachments left.
00:02:21You're free to go.
00:02:22Stay out of trouble.
00:02:32You're free to go.
00:02:36Liam, come home with me.
00:02:39Serena, my most admired sister once.
00:02:43Happy birthday.
00:02:45A gift for you.
00:02:46Wow.
00:02:47It's the latest game console.
00:02:49Dad, how did you know I really wanted this?
00:02:51Limited edition sneakers.
00:02:53Mom, you love me so much.
00:02:55My favorite watch.
00:02:57Sis, I love you so much.
00:02:58Let's take a family photo together.
00:03:00Sure, come on.
00:03:02I'll take it.
00:03:05Liam, you come too.
00:03:07Come on.
00:03:08One, two, three, cheese.
00:03:10She was once my only warmth in the Foster family.
00:03:13My spiritual pillar.
00:03:16Dad, Mom, I didn't run away after the accident.
00:03:19I don't even know how to drive.
00:03:20Colin, it was definitely Colin.
00:03:23He was the one driving.
00:03:24Shut up!
00:03:26You caused such a big mess.
00:03:28And you still dare to blame Colin?
00:03:30Call the police.
00:03:31We must give the Pearsons an explanation for this.
00:03:34Sis, it really wasn't me.
00:03:36You have to believe me.
00:03:37Please don't call the police.
00:03:39I beg you, sis.
00:03:40Sis, you believe me, right?
00:03:47Sure, Colin.
00:03:48I believe you.
00:03:51Sorry, Liam.
00:03:54My dearest sister, my only support in the Foster family,
00:03:59personally sent me to the police station.
00:04:04Can't you hear me when I'm talking to you?
00:04:06Miss Foster, I'm dirty.
00:04:07I don't want to dirty your car.
00:04:09I'll take a cab myself.
00:04:16Call me Miss Foster?
00:04:18What, are you resenting me?
00:04:19What right do you have to resent me?
00:04:21Now Ethan is still lying in the hospital in a coma.
00:04:24The Pierce's want your life!
00:04:26For these five years,
00:04:27I've been pleading with the Pierce for you.
00:04:29I didn't hit anyone with the car.
00:04:31How many times do I have to say it?
00:04:34I don't want to hear this.
00:04:35I specifically cancelled an internationalational meeting to pick you up.
00:04:40You'd better quit while you're ahead.
00:04:42Get in the car.
00:04:51I'll contact you as soon as there's any progress on the video restoration.
00:04:55So far, everything going well.
00:04:57Only five hours left,
00:04:58until we uncover the truth behind the car crash five years ago.
00:05:04Let's go.
00:05:05Putting on an axe.
00:05:17Now that you're out,
00:05:18Mom and Dad planned a special welcome home dinner for you.
00:05:21Liam, we do care about you.
00:05:23I served five years in prison.
00:05:25Family could visit every three months.
00:05:27I had 20 visit opportunities.
00:05:29Did any of you come?
00:05:31I-
00:05:32I used to write to you.
00:05:34But only got one replying.
00:05:36It was Tom the butler who replied,
00:05:38saying you were accompanying Colin abroad for studies.
00:05:40Liam-
00:05:41It's okay.
00:05:43Rearing outweighs bearing.
00:05:45In your hearts, matters concerning Colin, the adopted son, are far more important than me.
00:05:59What's wrong with your leg?
00:06:03Do you want to be a eunuch or a cripple?
00:06:06Cripple.
00:06:08Cripple.
00:06:10Just sprained.
00:06:12You're not trying to fake illness for sympathy again, are you?
00:06:16Once is enough for the same trick.
00:06:19Did you bring the camera?
00:06:21Colin is entering high school.
00:06:23Take lots of photos for memories.
00:06:24Don't worry, Mom.
00:06:25We have everything already.
00:06:27Dad, Mom, Sis.
00:06:29Liam, what's wrong?
00:06:33My stomach hurts so much.
00:06:35Can you take me to the hospital?
00:06:37Dad, Mom, you go with Colin to the ceremony.
00:06:39I'll take Liam to the hospital.
00:06:41Hey, Sis.
00:06:42The high school transition ceremony.
00:06:44It will happen only once in a lifetime.
00:06:46I want our whole family there.
00:06:50Bro, if you don't want Mom, Dad, and Sis to go to my ceremony, just say it directly.
00:06:56Why pretend be sick?
00:06:59Pretending?
00:07:00I'm just an adopted aunt, son.
00:07:03Brother's your real family.
00:07:04I took away all the love that should have been brothers for these years.
00:07:08What right do I have to ask you to come to my ceremony?
00:07:11I'll go alone.
00:07:16Liam!
00:07:16That's going too far.
00:07:18Pretending to be sick to ruin Colin's ceremony.
00:07:20How could you be so vicious at such a young age?
00:07:23Let's go.
00:07:23Even if he dies at home today, don't bother with her.
00:07:28No.
00:07:29My stomach really hurts.
00:07:32Liam, you'd better reflect on yourself.
00:07:36Sis.
00:07:37Sis, I'm really not lying.
00:07:40Why won't you believe me?
00:07:44When I was on the verge of death, Naomi saved me.
00:07:48I never faked illness.
00:07:52Forget it anyway, you wouldn't believe anything I say.
00:08:01Even my fingerprint was deleted.
00:08:03Looks like the farters really don't welcome me.
00:08:06Don't misunderstand.
00:08:07Colin got a girlfriend, and we ran out of fingerprint storage, so it was deleted.
00:08:13Since you're back, I'll have Tom as it tomorrow.
00:08:23Those belong to Colin!
00:08:25Don't touch.
00:08:25He's a germaphobe.
00:08:26You came back in a hurry.
00:08:28Tom didn't prepare in advance.
00:08:30You can wear these guest slippers for now.
00:08:35It's getting late.
00:08:36Go back to your room, take a shower, and change a suit.
00:08:38I'll wait for you in the banquet hall.
00:08:42Liam, this will always be your home.
00:08:45We will always be your family.
00:08:58This will always be your home.
00:09:00We will always be your family.
00:09:05In the foster family, I don't even have a decent room.
00:09:16I was an orphan, always longing for family and affection.
00:09:21But when the fosters took me back, I realized that so-called home is not a safe haven.
00:09:27The famous foster family of Manhattan never even let me have a full meal.
00:09:32In winter, I had no warm clothes.
00:09:34See?
00:09:35Our good son is excellent.
00:09:37I'm their flesh and blood, but I still pale in comparison to Colin.
00:09:41Ten years with them.
00:09:42In these three years back with the fosters, I learned one truth.
00:09:45Home isn't necessarily a harbor.
00:09:47Let me go!
00:09:48It can also be the source of the storm.
00:09:50Parents can also choose love their own child selectively.
00:09:56Hello, Naomi.
00:09:57The video is restored.
00:09:58I'm heading to the banquet hall.
00:10:00I'll be there in about two hours.
00:10:02Okay, drive safely.
00:10:03Okay.
00:10:10Back then, I was wearing this school uniform when the fosters picked me up from the orphanage.
00:10:16Now, I'll leave the foster family in it, too.
00:10:20Why did you bring Liam here?
00:10:23I just received news that Naomi Sterling, CEO of Sterling Technologies, will be coming.
00:10:28The foster group is having cash flow problems.
00:10:30If we can get Ms. Sterling's investment, the group can turn around the crisis.
00:10:34Do you want Mrs. Staling to know that the fathers have a convict in the family?
00:10:41Dad, he is your biological son after all.
00:10:44Are you going to disown him forever?
00:10:45I don't have a son who hit and run and went to prison!
00:10:50Fine, let him come.
00:10:53As long as he doesn't cause trouble or tarnish our family's reputation, we can accept him, too.
00:11:11Who is he?
00:11:13Why is he dressed like that?
00:11:14It seems to be the foster's eldest son, Liam.
00:11:17He hit and run and was sentenced.
00:11:22Are you dressed like this to remind everyone that you went to prison after high school?
00:11:27You disappoint me so much!
00:11:30Liam, what's wrong with you?
00:11:32Don't you know to wear something decent?
00:11:34Come on, let's go home and change.
00:11:37No need to go back.
00:11:38This is the only clothes I have.
00:11:42You don't have clothes?
00:11:43Can't you go buy some?
00:11:45I have no money.
00:11:47You've been back with the foster's for three years.
00:11:49I had finance transfer half a million to your account every month.
00:11:53Eighteen million in three years!
00:11:55Even if you splurged, you couldn't have spent it all, right?
00:11:57What did you spend it on?
00:11:59What else?
00:12:00A disreputable criminal either gambles or buys sex.
00:12:03I truly regret picking you up from the orphanage!
00:12:07You are the curse of the foster family!
00:12:10You must be mistaken!
00:12:11The foster's never gave me a single cent!
00:12:14You're lying!
00:12:15If you don't believe me, call the finance department.
00:12:19Mr. Grant, I asked you to transfer five hundred thousand to every month Liam's account, did you?
00:12:23Miss Foster, the master said that Master Liam came well from the orphanage on no need for money.
00:12:28He told me cancel the monthly of money.
00:12:30And Madam said Master Colin has many expenses at school.
00:12:33She told me to transfer an extra one million to Master Colin each month.
00:12:38Dad, you canceled the transfers to Leah, but did you ever give him any living funds?
00:12:41I didn't.
00:12:42I thought your mother would give him money.
00:12:47I didn't know about this.
00:12:50Liam, how come you never told us you were strapped for cash?
00:12:52Yeah, don't you have a mouth?
00:12:56I did tell you.
00:12:58But you called me a spend within every day!
00:13:04Colin, I heard you rank 10th in grade again.
00:13:08This is one million, a reward for you.
00:13:10Thanks, Dad!
00:13:15Dad?
00:13:18What?
00:13:20Can I have one hundred dollars?
00:13:22I want to buy study materials.
00:13:25Money, money, money!
00:13:27All you think about is money!
00:13:29Are you a spendithal?
00:13:31How did I end up with a child like you?
00:13:33I don't think it's for study materials.
00:13:35It's to go to internet cacks with shady people, right?
00:13:38Colin saw everything.
00:13:40Colin ranked 10th in the monthly exam.
00:13:42What rank did you get?
00:13:44First place.
00:13:46Last place!
00:13:47And how dare you say it!
00:13:48You embarrass me!
00:13:50To an adopted son.
00:13:52Casually reward a million?
00:13:54But your biological son asks for one hundred,
00:13:57and he's a spendthink!
00:13:59Colin has always been in the top ten of his grade!
00:14:02What about you?
00:14:06I'm number one.
00:14:13Mrs. Sterling!
00:14:18Liam, the evidence is all on this USB drive.
00:14:21Five years of prison.
00:14:22I will make the Fousers pay back every bit.
00:14:25To the banquet hall.
00:14:27What did you say?
00:14:29At Brightwood Academy, I've always been the first in grade!
00:14:32Brightwood Academy?
00:14:33Aren't you like Colin, attending Kingsley Preparatory School?
00:14:36Mrs. Foster, I've always attended Brightwood Academy.
00:14:39You didn't know because you never asked about me.
00:14:41Butler Tom knows all the things.
00:14:43Butler.
00:14:45Madam, Master Liam is indeed studying at Brightwood Academy.
00:14:48Brightwood Academy?
00:14:49I heard that Brightwood admits students only based on merit, not family background.
00:14:53Those who get into Brightwood are all geniuses!
00:14:56Yeah.
00:14:57Mr. Foster, Master Liam ranked first every year
00:14:59and was granted early admission to the prestigious Verindian University.
00:15:02If Master Liam hadn't gone to prison, he would have graduated from Verindian by now.
00:15:07You deserve it!
00:15:08It's because you were always antagonizing Colin and making things difficult for him.
00:15:13Why would we care about you?
00:15:15You're just petty.
00:15:16You can't stand us favoring Colin more.
00:15:18Back then you were out early and back late, mixing with shady people.
00:15:22How could we dare give you money?
00:15:23Maybe during that time you picked up bad habits, which led to the hit and run, ending up in prison,
00:15:28ruining your own bright future!
00:15:30Yes, it's been five years.
00:15:32Are you saying all this to make us feel guilty?
00:15:34During that period you were out all the time.
00:15:36We couldn't find you to talk.
00:15:37How were we supposed to know about you?
00:15:39Dad is right.
00:15:40You're always defiant.
00:15:41And who knows what shady characters you were hanging around with,
00:15:44then hit and run, ruining yourself!
00:15:46Mixing with shady people?
00:15:47I was out early and back late just to earn my own tuition and living expenses.
00:15:52I got up at six every morning, delivered fresh milk door to door,
00:15:55and walked a kilometer back to school.
00:15:57To save on lunch, I helped in the cafeteria,
00:15:59and the auntie gave me free toast bread so I could save lunch money.
00:16:03I worked hauling bricks at night.
00:16:05My feet are covered in painful abrasions.
00:16:07I bandaged myself alone, just to keep walking tomorrow.
00:16:10That's why I was out early and back late.
00:16:12Sorry to disappoint you.
00:16:14I wasn't living it up.
00:16:15I was struggling just to survive!
00:16:18Treating an adopted son like a treasure,
00:16:20but discarding the biological son like a worn-out shoe.
00:16:23Is the Foster family crazy?
00:16:24I heard Liam got lost when he was very young.
00:16:27They were frantic looking for him.
00:16:29But after finding him, why did they abuse him like this?
00:16:33I'm sorry, Liam.
00:16:34I didn't know you suffered so much.
00:16:37You must have been under so much stress that year
00:16:39that you accidentally hit someone, right?
00:16:42But it's okay.
00:16:43Five years is nothing.
00:16:45You're out now.
00:16:46Everything can start over.
00:16:48Mom will be with you.
00:16:49I didn't hit and run!
00:16:50How many times do I have to say it?
00:16:53Okay, forget it.
00:16:54You wouldn't believe me anyway.
00:16:56In 40 minutes, you'll all know the truth.
00:16:58Truth?
00:16:59What truth?
00:17:00On such a happy day.
00:17:01Why so awkward?
00:17:04Liam, don't blame me.
00:17:08We're just doing a job.
00:17:09It's your dear brother, Master Colin,
00:17:11who asked me to take care of you.
00:17:19Auntie, Uncle?
00:17:31How long until we reach the banquet hall?
00:17:3330 minutes.
00:17:35Hurry up!
00:17:40Bro!
00:17:41Bro, are you okay?
00:17:42Get away!
00:17:46Liam!
00:17:47Why do you always target Colin?
00:17:53Emily Pears, my ex-fiancée.
00:17:55To win her favor,
00:17:56I used to do everything she asked.
00:18:00But she never looked at me.
00:18:01The one she liked was Colin.
00:18:03She was critically ill,
00:18:05and as soon as my kidney matched hers,
00:18:07I donated mine.
00:18:09But this woman I loved with my life,
00:18:11she identified me to the police
00:18:13as the hit-and-rush driver
00:18:14who severely injured her brother.
00:18:22Miss Pears, please see clearly.
00:18:24He's the one who ran into me.
00:18:26Oh, sorry.
00:18:26I forgot your eyesight isn't great.
00:18:28Otherwise, back then...
00:18:30Why didn't you see clearly
00:18:31who was driving the car
00:18:32that hit your own brother?
00:18:34Brother!
00:18:34Hang in there!
00:18:35The ambulance is coming!
00:18:37It's coming!
00:18:38Emily,
00:18:39please keep it a secret, okay?
00:18:41Don't tell anyone I was driving.
00:18:43You like me, right?
00:18:44Help me!
00:18:50Bro!
00:18:51If you have any complaints,
00:18:53take them out on me!
00:18:54Today is my celebration banquet.
00:18:56Don't hurt Emily!
00:18:58Celebration banquet?
00:18:59Yes.
00:18:59I've been admitted to an Ivy League PhD program.
00:19:02Mom and Dad specially held this banquet
00:19:03to celebrate me.
00:19:05Bro, didn't you know?
00:19:09Didn't you say
00:19:11today is my welcome banquet?
00:19:13So I was just being sentimental?
00:19:15Liam, listen to me, okay?
00:19:16Let everything in the past go.
00:19:19From now on,
00:19:19we can be a family
00:19:20and live hell.
00:19:22Okay?
00:19:24No need.
00:19:25I came here today
00:19:26for two things.
00:19:28First,
00:19:28to uncover the truth
00:19:29of the car accident.
00:19:30Second,
00:19:35Colin!
00:19:37Colin, what's wrong?
00:19:38It's not brother's fault.
00:19:40Maybe when brother
00:19:40pushed me just now,
00:19:41he accidentally hurt me.
00:19:43Liam!
00:19:44Colin is your brother!
00:19:45How could you be so rough?
00:19:47Apologize to your brother
00:19:48now!
00:19:49Such a serious injury.
00:19:51Indeed, very serious.
00:19:52If you don't apply
00:19:53some medicinal jown,
00:19:54it might heal immediately.
00:19:56You!
00:19:57Dad.
00:19:58Dad, it's not brother's fault.
00:19:59It's mine.
00:19:59I grew up with you
00:20:00since childhood.
00:20:02I took away the family love
00:20:03that should have belonged
00:20:03to my brother.
00:20:04Even when he was in prison,
00:20:05you didn't visit him
00:20:06out of consideration
00:20:07for my feelings.
00:20:08His resentment towards me
00:20:09is what I deserve.
00:20:11Apologize to your brother
00:20:12right now!
00:20:13Colin, be a man.
00:20:15Quit putting on that
00:20:16fake, innocent act.
00:20:17I'm embarrassed for you.
00:20:20Bastard!
00:20:21Oh!
00:20:25What?
00:20:29What is this?
00:20:34These injuries,
00:20:36how did you get them?
00:20:38In prison.
00:20:39Beaten, of course.
00:20:40Liam,
00:20:41does it hurt?
00:20:44Mrs. Foster,
00:20:45no need to be so hypocritical.
00:20:47Have you forgotten
00:20:48what you said to me
00:20:49on the day I was imprisoned?
00:20:51Dad!
00:20:52Mom!
00:20:52It wasn't me!
00:20:54I didn't hit anyone!
00:20:55It was Colin!
00:20:56He was the one
00:20:57who hit and run
00:20:58and framed me!
00:20:59Liam, listen to me!
00:21:00Stop framing Colin!
00:21:01Colin grew up by my side.
00:21:03He's my precious child.
00:21:04He mustn't come to any harm.
00:21:06Then what about me?
00:21:07He matters to you,
00:21:08don't I matter?
00:21:09The year you got lost,
00:21:10I nearly went crazy!
00:21:11If Colin hadn't been by my side,
00:21:12I would have been dead inside!
00:21:14Liam,
00:21:15you grew up in an orphanage
00:21:16and are used to hardship.
00:21:17But Colin is different.
00:21:19He's been pampered.
00:21:21If anything bad happened to him,
00:21:23I even wouldn't want to live!
00:21:24Mom!
00:21:25Mom!
00:21:26Me!
00:21:27You once participated
00:21:28in martial arts competitions.
00:21:30How could you have
00:21:31such serious injuries?
00:21:33I think you did it yourself
00:21:34to make us feel sorry and guilty!
00:21:36Yeah,
00:21:37I did practice martial arts
00:21:38at the orphanage.
00:21:38But after coming to the fosters,
00:21:40I barely had enough food to eat
00:21:41or clothes on my back.
00:21:43And I developed
00:21:44severe stomach problems
00:21:45and anemia.
00:21:46My body was already broken
00:21:48long before prison.
00:21:49How?
00:21:50How could this happen?
00:21:51They locked me up
00:21:52with a group of death row inmates.
00:21:54And I suffered all kinds
00:21:55of humiliation
00:21:56and torture in prison.
00:21:57Between disfigurement
00:21:58and being slapped,
00:21:59I chose being slapped.
00:22:00Between being beaten
00:22:01and kneeling,
00:22:01I chose kneeling.
00:22:03Between castration
00:22:04and having my legs broken,
00:22:05I chose having my legs broken!
00:22:06Who?
00:22:07Who told them to do this?
00:22:10You must be relieved
00:22:11in your heart, right?
00:22:13Luckily, it was me
00:22:14sent to prison.
00:22:15Otherwise,
00:22:15these injuries and suffering
00:22:16would have been on
00:22:17your precious adopted son!
00:22:18What do you mean by that?
00:22:20It was you
00:22:20who hit my brother, Ethan!
00:22:22You going to prison
00:22:23is what you deserve!
00:22:24Sure enough,
00:22:26people should stay away
00:22:26from those blinded by love.
00:22:28Your own brother was hit.
00:22:30And for the sake
00:22:30of so-called love,
00:22:31you actually helped
00:22:32the person who left him
00:22:33in such a ventic state?
00:22:35You're also an accomplice
00:22:36in harming your brother!
00:22:37Emily,
00:22:37Emily,
00:22:38lies can't cover the truth.
00:22:41In ten minutes,
00:22:42the truth will be revealed.
00:22:44Miss Sterling,
00:22:45good news.
00:22:45Under pressure
00:22:46from Sterling Technologies,
00:22:48the people who abused
00:22:48Liam in prison
00:22:49have confessed
00:22:50who's behind it.
00:22:50Send people
00:22:51to take statements.
00:22:52The fosters are blind.
00:22:53They won't believe anything
00:22:54unless the evidence
00:22:55is right in front of them.
00:22:56Rest assured,
00:22:56I've already sent people.
00:22:58After this traffic light,
00:22:59we'll be at the banquet hall.
00:23:00It's five minutes left
00:23:01until we meet Liam.
00:23:02Good.
00:23:04Master Liam,
00:23:05what do you mean by that?
00:23:06Could it be that
00:23:07the hit-and-road driver
00:23:08back then was someone else?
00:23:09Could it be
00:23:10Miss Emily for love
00:23:12twisted the truth
00:23:13and helped the real
00:23:14culprit escape?
00:23:15The fosters drama
00:23:17is really entertaining.
00:23:19Bro!
00:23:20It's all my fault!
00:23:21I know
00:23:22you accuse me
00:23:23of hit-and-run
00:23:24because you resent me.
00:23:25It's me!
00:23:26I took away
00:23:27Mom, Dad
00:23:27and Sis's love
00:23:28that should've been
00:23:29yours all these years!
00:23:30It's me!
00:23:31I took away
00:23:32your fiancée, Emily.
00:23:33This is all my fault.
00:23:34If you want to resent someone,
00:23:36resent me.
00:23:37I only beg you,
00:23:39please don't hate
00:23:40Mom and Dad.
00:23:44I'll give them
00:23:45all back to you.
00:23:47Yep!
00:23:48Ah!
00:23:50Ah!
00:23:51Ah!
00:23:52Ah!
00:23:52Ah!
00:23:55Liam!
00:23:55You've gone too far!
00:23:57Colin was going to
00:23:58give Mom and the devil
00:23:59back to you!
00:23:59Why are you still
00:24:00so vicious?
00:24:01My suit.
00:24:03This is the
00:24:03whole couture
00:24:04my sister presented me.
00:24:06Bro,
00:24:06if you're mad at me,
00:24:07just take it out on me.
00:24:09Why did you have to
00:24:09tear up the gift
00:24:10my sister gave me?
00:24:11Used to framing me,
00:24:12aren't you?
00:24:13Not only do you pin
00:24:14a manslaughter charge on me,
00:24:15now you even use
00:24:16a piece of clothing
00:24:17framing me!
00:24:18Enough!
00:24:19Your brother
00:24:20begged you so much
00:24:21and you still
00:24:22won't let it go?
00:24:23Are you gonna throw
00:24:24the entire foster family
00:24:25into chaos?
00:24:26Liam,
00:24:27you and Colin
00:24:28are both my children.
00:24:29One is like the palm,
00:24:29the other the back of the hand.
00:24:31Mom begs you,
00:24:31stop targeting Colin,
00:24:32okay?
00:24:33Are you all blind?
00:24:34I didn't hurt him
00:24:35deliberately!
00:24:36He-
00:24:36He stabbed me
00:24:37with a sharp object!
00:24:40Liam,
00:24:41why are you bleeding?
00:24:42Thanks to your dear brother.
00:24:43I didn't...
00:24:44Sis, believe me.
00:24:45Why does Bro
00:24:46keep framing me?
00:24:47Framing you?
00:24:53Then what is this?
00:25:02Liam's banquet hall
00:25:03is on the third floor.
00:25:08Colin,
00:25:09why did you hide
00:25:10a needle on you?
00:25:11Is the wound
00:25:12on Liam's leg
00:25:12from you?
00:25:13No, I didn't, sis.
00:25:14You have to believe me.
00:25:15How could I do
00:25:15such a thing?
00:25:16It was Bro.
00:25:17He secretly hid the needle
00:25:18in my sleeve
00:25:18to set me up.
00:25:19Your lies are really clumsy.
00:25:21Let me ask you,
00:25:22how could I hide a needle
00:25:23in your sleeve
00:25:24in front of everyone?
00:25:25Say it!
00:25:26Not in the banquet hall,
00:25:27maybe somewhere else.
00:25:29After all,
00:25:29my suit was in Sis' car
00:25:30at that time.
00:25:31Maybe that's around that time.
00:25:33Right.
00:25:34I remember I went
00:25:35to pick up Liam.
00:25:35He kept staring
00:25:36at the gift box
00:25:37I gave Colin.
00:25:38What are you laughing at?
00:25:40For a moment,
00:25:41I even thought
00:25:41you might believe me.
00:25:43But it turned out
00:25:43I was delusional.
00:25:46I had planned
00:25:47to announce
00:25:47the second thing
00:25:48after the truth came out.
00:25:49But it seems
00:25:50there's no need to wait.
00:25:51Truth?
00:25:52What truth?
00:25:54You're being mysterious.
00:25:55What are you talking about?
00:25:56Butler Tom.
00:25:59The things I asked you
00:26:00to prepare
00:26:00before I went to prison,
00:26:01do you have them?
00:26:02I heard you were released today.
00:26:04I thought you might need this,
00:26:04so I brought it.
00:26:09Sign it.
00:26:11Dis-owned-ment papers?
00:26:13You want to sever ties
00:26:14with the Falsters?
00:26:16I've been ready
00:26:17since the day
00:26:17you personally
00:26:18sent me to prison.
00:26:19Liam!
00:26:19You went to prison
00:26:20because of your own
00:26:21hit and run!
00:26:22You can't blame anyone else!
00:26:24Liam,
00:26:25I know I neglected you
00:26:26because of Colin,
00:26:27but you can't resent Colin
00:26:28for it.
00:26:29He's innocent.
00:26:30Innocent or not,
00:26:30we'll know in three minutes!
00:26:31Back then,
00:26:32the surveillance on that road
00:26:34just happened to be broken.
00:26:35But Emily was a witness,
00:26:37and she identified you!
00:26:39Why do you keep hounding me?
00:26:40The surveillance wasn't broken.
00:26:42You deliberately
00:26:43destroyed it.
00:26:44But it doesn't matter
00:26:45because the surveillance
00:26:46has been repaired.
00:26:52Miss Hawthorne,
00:26:55it's Silverthorn Wolfsbane,
00:26:57a slow poison designed
00:26:58to destroy a wolf spirit.
00:26:59The Emberroot Elixir
00:27:00could still save you,
00:27:01but if you take
00:27:02those painkillers instead,
00:27:03you'll have three days
00:27:04at most.
00:27:05Are you sure?
00:27:07I'm sure.
00:27:09The only dose is gone.
00:27:11Leander and my family
00:27:12gave it to Iris.
00:27:13So either way,
00:27:14I'm dying.
00:27:16I was born
00:27:17Viola Hawthorne,
00:27:19first daughter
00:27:19of an old
00:27:20Moonfall bloodline.
00:27:22Blessed with Ira,
00:27:23a pure white wolf
00:27:24favored by the Moon Goddess.
00:27:27My parents adored me.
00:27:30Then,
00:27:30when I was three,
00:27:32they adopted Iris.
00:27:33Little by little,
00:27:34all their love
00:27:36became hers.
00:27:39Years later,
00:27:40I met
00:27:41Leander Greyhound,
00:27:42the day we sealed
00:27:43our mate bond.
00:27:44He swore before
00:27:46the Moon Goddess
00:27:46that he'd love me forever.
00:27:51A year later,
00:27:52we had Theo.
00:27:53He was my whole world.
00:27:55Back then,
00:27:56I was his too.
00:27:58I thought I'd finally
00:27:59found a family of my own.
00:28:01Iris made sure I hadn't.
00:28:06Leander,
00:28:07my birthday falls
00:28:08on your bond anniversary
00:28:09with Viola every year
00:28:10and you still choose
00:28:11to spend it with me.
00:28:13What if she gets jealous?
00:28:14I'd hate to come
00:28:15between you two.
00:28:17Let her be upset.
00:28:18Your birthday matters.
00:28:21An anniversary
00:28:22is just a date.
00:28:26Iris has always
00:28:27been our favorite.
00:28:29If she hadn't left
00:28:30to train
00:28:30with another pack,
00:28:31you two should have
00:28:32been together
00:28:32from the start.
00:28:34Aunt Iris,
00:28:35I love you.
00:28:36I wish you were my mum.
00:28:37She's already
00:28:38taken so many things
00:28:39from me.
00:28:40Now she was coming
00:28:41for my mate too.
00:28:53What now, Nox?
00:28:55Why are you fighting me?
00:29:07Leola,
00:29:09thank the goddess
00:29:09you're awake.
00:29:12Didn't I tell you
00:29:13to stay out of trouble
00:29:13at home?
00:29:14You barged in
00:29:15and ruined Iris'
00:29:16birthday party.
00:29:17What are you trying
00:29:18to pull now?
00:29:19Every year,
00:29:20you choose her birthday
00:29:22over our bond anniversary.
00:29:23Tell me the truth,
00:29:24Leander.
00:29:25Has Iris always
00:29:27mattered more
00:29:27than I do?
00:29:30Don't make this
00:29:31about you.
00:29:32Iris was abandoned
00:29:33by her birth family.
00:29:34She needs us
00:29:35more than you do.
00:29:39Enough,
00:29:40Viola.
00:29:41Why do you have
00:29:42to turn everything
00:29:43into a competition
00:29:44with Iris?
00:29:45Mom,
00:29:46I hate you!
00:29:49Why do you always
00:29:51have to make
00:29:51Aunt Iris cry?
00:29:53To them,
00:29:55Iris could do
00:29:56no wrong.
00:29:57And I
00:29:58could do
00:29:59nothing right.
00:30:02Please don't be
00:30:03mad,
00:30:03Leola.
00:30:04This is all
00:30:05my fault.
00:30:07I just
00:30:08won't celebrate
00:30:09my birthday anymore.
00:30:11I don't want you
00:30:12upset
00:30:12because of me.
00:30:22Iris,
00:30:23what's wrong?
00:30:24Mom,
00:30:25Dad,
00:30:26it hurts.
00:30:27It hurts so bad.
00:30:29I think
00:30:29I'm dying.
00:30:33Enough,
00:30:34Knox.
00:30:35Iris is hurt.
00:30:36She's the one
00:30:36who needs me
00:30:37right now.
00:30:43Listen to me,
00:30:44Viola.
00:30:45If anything
00:30:46happens to Iris,
00:30:47you're no
00:30:47daughter of mine.
00:30:49I will never
00:30:50forgive you.
00:30:52I was the one
00:30:53falling apart,
00:30:55but one fake
00:30:56fall from Iris
00:30:57mattered more
00:30:58than anything
00:30:58I could ever
00:30:59suffer.
00:31:04Miss Hawthorne,
00:31:06I need to be
00:31:07honest.
00:31:07You've been
00:31:08poisoned with
00:31:08Silverthorn Wolfsbane
00:31:09for months.
00:31:10It's already
00:31:11damaged your organs
00:31:12and the core
00:31:13of your wolf spirit.
00:31:15At this stage,
00:31:16only the
00:31:17Ember Root Elixir
00:31:17can save you.
00:31:20So I wasn't
00:31:21weak.
00:31:21Someone had been
00:31:22poisoning me.
00:31:29And Leander
00:31:30had the last
00:31:30dose of Ember Root.
00:31:32Would he
00:31:32give it to me?
00:31:37I was Leander's
00:31:38bonded mate.
00:31:39Yet,
00:31:40I'd never seen
00:31:41him this terrified
00:31:42for me.
00:31:43Standing outside
00:31:44Iris' room,
00:31:45he looked like
00:31:45her mate,
00:31:46not mine.
00:31:48And my parents,
00:31:49they didn't even
00:31:50notice I was
00:31:52there.
00:31:55Why are you here?
00:31:58Haven't you
00:31:58done enough?
00:31:59Iris is in
00:32:01there because
00:32:02you shoved
00:32:02her.
00:32:06Leander,
00:32:08give me
00:32:08the Ember Root.
00:32:09What for?
00:32:10I've been
00:32:11poisoned with
00:32:12Silverthorn Wolfsbane.
00:32:14Ira is dying.
00:32:15Without that
00:32:15elixir,
00:32:16we both die.
00:32:39Mom,
00:32:41Dad,
00:32:41Leander,
00:32:42you're here.
00:32:44I was so scared.
00:32:46I'm here.
00:32:48You're safe now.
00:32:50Leander,
00:32:52something's tearing
00:32:53through my wolf.
00:32:54Didn't you buy
00:32:54some Ember Root?
00:32:55Could I
00:32:57have it?
00:32:58Of course.
00:33:00Bring the Ember Root
00:33:01now.
00:33:03Nox,
00:33:04stop fighting me.
00:33:09You're giving her
00:33:10the only dose?
00:33:11Even after I
00:33:12told you
00:33:13it'll kill me?
00:33:14If Viola needs it
00:33:15that badly,
00:33:16then give it to her.
00:33:17I'll manage,
00:33:18even if I don't
00:33:19make it.
00:33:23You disgusting liar.
00:33:25You're really
00:33:25pretending you're dying
00:33:26just to steal
00:33:28Iris' medicine?
00:33:29Enough with
00:33:30the victim act.
00:33:30Iris was fine
00:33:31until you put her
00:33:32in the ER.
00:33:33If she suffers
00:33:34because of you,
00:33:35your life wouldn't
00:33:36begin to make up
00:33:37for it.
00:33:38You're awful,
00:33:39Mom.
00:33:40I wish you
00:33:40weren't my mom.
00:33:42She does look sick.
00:33:44No,
00:33:45she's pulled this
00:33:46before.
00:33:47It's just another act.
00:33:48enough,
00:33:50Viola.
00:33:51Ira is still alive.
00:33:53Don't use your wolf
00:33:54to sell me another lie.
00:33:55The Ember Root
00:33:56is for Iris.
00:34:25Ira is fading.
00:34:28These.
00:34:29But if I don't
00:34:30take these,
00:34:31the pain will tear me apart
00:34:33before the poison does.
00:34:45just a little longer
00:34:47and it'll all be over.
00:34:54Mrs. Hawthorne,
00:34:56those painkillers
00:34:57are burning through
00:34:58what's left of your wolf spirit.
00:34:59You have two days at most.
00:35:01You should tell your family.
00:35:07I understand.
00:35:11When I'm gone,
00:35:12will any of them regret it?
00:35:16I heard.
00:35:17We're choosing
00:35:18a certain day.
00:35:19I'm sorry.
00:35:20I'm sorry.
00:35:22I'm sorry.
00:35:25Here, sweetheart.
00:35:27This one's the sweetest.
00:35:29Thanks, Dad.
00:35:30You always pick
00:35:31the best pieces for me.
00:35:35Such a sweet talker.
00:35:37No wonder your father
00:35:38and I can never say no to you.
00:35:40Yes.
00:35:43Oh, look who's here.
00:35:44Weren't you supposedly dying?
00:35:45Funny how you still have
00:35:46the strength to come bother Iris.
00:35:48Your father and I
00:35:49aren't leaving Iris
00:35:50alone with you again.
00:35:52You're not getting
00:35:52another chance to hurt her.
00:35:55I didn't...
00:35:56Enough.
00:35:57The Hawthorns are one of
00:35:58Moonall's oldest
00:35:59noble blood trines.
00:36:00We have a reputation
00:36:01to upheld.
00:36:03And you?
00:36:05Jealous,
00:36:05bitter,
00:36:06always making scenes.
00:36:08Now you're even
00:36:09faking an illness
00:36:09to steal Iris medicine!
00:36:13I've seen that look
00:36:14a thousand times.
00:36:16Every time I tried
00:36:17to expose her,
00:36:17she'd smile like that.
00:36:19She knew no one
00:36:20would ever believe me.
00:36:26Viola,
00:36:27why did you break
00:36:28Mom's favorite face?
00:36:31Viola,
00:36:32what's wrong with you?
00:36:34I didn't do it!
00:36:35Iris knocked it over!
00:36:36And now you're lying?
00:36:37Iris would never do that.
00:36:39Go stand in the corner.
00:36:40Now!
00:36:49I only had two days left.
00:36:51What was the point
00:36:52of defending myself
00:36:53when I won?
00:36:56Dad,
00:36:57there's something
00:36:57I need to tell you.
00:36:58Iris has always wanted
00:36:59your fur company.
00:37:00Sign it over to her.
00:37:01Consider it your apology
00:37:02for everything
00:37:02you've put her through.
00:37:05Fine.
00:37:06She can have it.
00:37:09You're serious?
00:37:10What's the catch this time?
00:37:12They couldn't believe
00:37:13I'd agreed.
00:37:14Of course,
00:37:15they assumed
00:37:15it was another scheme.
00:37:16For years,
00:37:17Iris had wanted
00:37:18the company
00:37:18I built from nothing.
00:37:20And for years,
00:37:21my parents have tried
00:37:22to make me hand it over.
00:37:24Iris studied finance
00:37:25and business.
00:37:26She needs real experience.
00:37:27Let her run your company.
00:37:29I built that company
00:37:30from the ground up.
00:37:31I'm not handing it over
00:37:32so Iris can practice
00:37:33playing CEO.
00:37:34It's okay.
00:37:36Forget I asked.
00:37:37If Viola doesn't want
00:37:39me near her company,
00:37:40I understand.
00:37:41There you go again.
00:37:43You're the eldest Hawthorne.
00:37:45Yet you can't even
00:37:46do this much
00:37:46for your sister.
00:37:48She only wants a chance
00:37:49to prove herself.
00:37:51You're getting more selfish
00:37:52every year.
00:37:54Sometimes I wonder
00:37:55how we raised
00:37:56a daughter like you.
00:38:00You've wanted this
00:38:01for years.
00:38:02Now you have it.
00:38:04You should have done
00:38:05this from the start.
00:38:09You're finally
00:38:10being reasonable.
00:38:11You may have founded
00:38:12the company,
00:38:13but Iris has the talent
00:38:14to turn it into
00:38:15something truly important.
00:38:17Are you sure, Viola?
00:38:18I wouldn't want anyone
00:38:19to say I forced you.
00:38:24I'm sure.
00:38:27I had so little time left.
00:38:32I might as well give them
00:38:33everything they wanted.
00:38:38We'll celebrate tonight.
00:38:40You can join us too, Viola.
00:38:43Why did my own mother
00:38:43only treat me
00:38:44like her daughter
00:38:45when I was giving
00:38:46Iris something?
00:38:47No.
00:38:48I have things
00:38:49to take care of.
00:38:54Something's off.
00:38:56She looks terrible.
00:38:59Dad, you know Viola.
00:39:00Viola, the second we stop
00:39:02paying attention to her
00:39:02she finds another way
00:39:03to get it back.
00:39:05Iris is right.
00:39:07Ignore her.
00:39:08Your company,
00:39:09your family,
00:39:11your mate.
00:39:12I'll take every last thing
00:39:14you have, Viola.
00:39:16Even your life.
00:39:22Daddy, this mushroom soup
00:39:24is so good.
00:39:25Iris likes it too.
00:39:26It'll help strengthen her wolf.
00:39:28We'll bring her some
00:39:29after dinner.
00:39:30I never even knew
00:39:31Leander could cook.
00:39:32I worked, cleaned, cooked,
00:39:34kept this family running.
00:39:36Apparently, he could do it too.
00:39:37Just never for me.
00:39:39And he would only cook
00:39:40for Iris.
00:39:42Mom, why are you back?
00:39:45Good.
00:39:46You're here.
00:39:47There's something
00:39:47we need to discuss.
00:39:49What?
00:39:51Iris has been struggling
00:39:52since the treatment.
00:39:53Your parents think
00:39:54a mate marking ceremony
00:39:54would help stabilize her wolf.
00:39:56So they want me to mark her,
00:39:58to cheer her up
00:39:59and facilitate her recovery.
00:40:02You want to break
00:40:03our sacred bond
00:40:03and mark another she-wolf
00:40:05as your mate?
00:40:06Don't make it sound like that.
00:40:08Iris is family.
00:40:10She's sick.
00:40:11You want her to recover,
00:40:12don't you?
00:40:13Once she's better,
00:40:14I'll remove her mark
00:40:14and restore our bond.
00:40:16You're still my true mate.
00:40:17I'm still Theo's father.
00:40:19Mom,
00:40:19Aunt Iris is miserable.
00:40:21The healer said
00:40:22it could hurt her wolf.
00:40:23Just let Dad do it, please.
00:40:24I gave everything I had
00:40:26to being his mate
00:40:27and Theo's mother.
00:40:28And for Iris,
00:40:30they were willing
00:40:31to throw our bond away
00:40:32without a second thought.
00:40:36Fine.
00:40:37Do it.
00:40:50I knew you'd understand.
00:40:52I already had
00:40:53the mate bond
00:40:54dissolution papers prepared.
00:40:56He'd already prepared
00:40:57the papers.
00:40:58So this wasn't
00:40:59a sudden decision.
00:41:00He'd planned to sever
00:41:01our bond all along.
00:41:02Sign it, Mommy.
00:41:29Shut up!
00:41:33Viola?
00:41:35You...
00:41:37I'm fine.
00:41:39Of course it hurts.
00:41:41Severing a mate bond
00:41:42always does.
00:41:43She'll recover.
00:41:45You severed our bond
00:41:47with your own hands, Leander.
00:41:49Is this what you wanted?
00:41:53Yeah.
00:41:55Viola!
00:41:56Once Iris recovers,
00:41:57I'll end it with her
00:41:58and restore our bond.
00:41:59You know you're the one I love.
00:42:01This is only a temporary mark.
00:42:03Do whatever you want.
00:42:06This is the Viola I remember.
00:42:08Calm.
00:42:09Reasonable.
00:42:10Once Iris is well,
00:42:11I'll make all of this up to you.
00:42:12I'm proud of you, Mom.
00:42:14You're finally being nice
00:42:15to Aunt Iris.
00:42:18So this was all it took
00:42:19to earn their kindness,
00:42:22giving up everything
00:42:23they wanted me to give up.
00:42:36Mom, seriously?
00:42:38You're doing the fainting thing again?
00:42:41Dad and I need to take Aunt Iris her soup.
00:42:43You're making it cold.
00:42:48Stop this, Viola.
00:42:50The bond is gone,
00:42:52but I still care about you.
00:42:54You don't need to fake a collapse
00:42:55just to test me.
00:43:02Severing the bond
00:43:03knocked me unconscious.
00:43:04They didn't call a healer.
00:43:06They didn't even check
00:43:07if I was hurt.
00:43:08They threw cold water
00:43:09in my face.
00:43:15You look fine, Mom.
00:43:17If you're going to fake being sick,
00:43:20at least make it believable.
00:43:23The painkillers hid
00:43:24how sick I really was.
00:43:26They couldn't see
00:43:27what was happening inside me.
00:43:29But I knew
00:43:30I was running out of time.
00:43:32I wasn't faking.
00:43:35I just haven't eaten.
00:43:37If you're going back
00:43:38to the hospital,
00:43:38I'll come.
00:43:41There are still papers
00:43:42I need to sign
00:43:43for the transfer.
00:43:44What's she planning now?
00:43:46Forget it.
00:43:47She already agreed.
00:43:48I'll trust her this once.
00:43:50Fine.
00:43:51Come with us.
00:43:57You came, Viola.
00:43:59Thank you for the company.
00:44:01Don't worry.
00:44:02I'll take very good care
00:44:04of everything you built.
00:44:08This is better for everyone.
00:44:10Iris can run the company
00:44:11and you won't have to work
00:44:13yourself so hard anymore.
00:44:15That's what I thought.
00:44:18So,
00:44:19I'll transfer
00:44:20the company accounts
00:44:21holdings
00:44:22and everything
00:44:24tied to the business
00:44:27to Iris, too.
00:44:29Then,
00:44:30I won't have anything
00:44:31left to manage.
00:44:32All of it?
00:44:34Even the company trust?
00:44:36For years,
00:44:37they called me selfish
00:44:39whenever I refused
00:44:40to give Iris
00:44:41what was mine.
00:44:42Now,
00:44:43I was handing it over
00:44:44willingly
00:44:45and somehow
00:44:47they were shocked.
00:44:48Wasn't this exactly
00:44:49what they'd always wanted?
00:44:51Viola,
00:44:52you're finally acting
00:44:54like a proper
00:44:54older sister.
00:44:56I'm glad you've learned
00:44:57to put Iris first.
00:44:58Exactly.
00:45:00We're family.
00:45:01What's yours
00:45:02was never meant
00:45:02to be kept separate
00:45:03from the rest of us.
00:45:05your mom and I
00:45:06can stop worrying
00:45:07about the two of you.
00:45:08So this was what
00:45:09made them happy?
00:45:10Me disappearing
00:45:11piece by piece
00:45:12until Iris
00:45:13had everything.
00:45:17Mom,
00:45:18you're bleeding!
00:45:24That mark,
00:45:25is her wolf spirit
00:45:26actually fading?
00:45:28No,
00:45:29that's impossible.
00:45:30The healer said
00:45:31a failing wolf
00:45:32would barely be conscious.
00:45:34Viola walked
00:45:35all the way up here.
00:45:36She's fine.
00:45:37Nox,
00:45:38stop it!
00:45:40What now?
00:45:41The air isn't even dry.
00:45:43Why are you bleeding?
00:45:44I'm almost
00:45:45out of time.
00:45:49Mom,
00:45:50Dad,
00:45:52would you miss me
00:45:53if I died?
00:45:56Oh my God,
00:45:57Viola,
00:45:58is that ketchup?
00:46:00You almost had me fooled.
00:46:02Ketchup?
00:46:03Enough,
00:46:04Viola.
00:46:05Don't start another
00:46:06pathetic little performance.
00:46:09Just because we're
00:46:10paying attention
00:46:11to Iris.
00:46:12Your wolf is strong,
00:46:13a nosebleed
00:46:14isn't going to kill you.
00:46:15Stop trying to
00:46:16scare everyone.
00:46:17Ira had been dying
00:46:18for months
00:46:19from the
00:46:19silver-toned wolf plane.
00:46:21They couldn't see
00:46:22her fading
00:46:23and they would
00:46:24never believe me.
00:46:26Dad,
00:46:26don't be so hard
00:46:27on her.
00:46:28Viola used to lie
00:46:29and fake things
00:46:29for attention,
00:46:30sure,
00:46:31but,
00:46:32but I really think
00:46:33she's trying to change.
00:46:34You're the one
00:46:35we should be worried about.
00:46:37That illness nearly
00:46:38drained your wolf's
00:46:39healing ability.
00:46:40Aunt Iris needs us.
00:46:42Please get better soon.
00:46:43That was my answer.
00:46:45Even at the very end,
00:46:46there was no place
00:46:47for me here.
00:46:52Theo,
00:46:53you always say
00:46:54Aunt Iris is the best.
00:46:55Would you rather
00:46:56have her as your mom?
00:46:57If that's what you want,
00:46:59she can be.
00:47:01Really?
00:47:02Really.
00:47:04She can pick you up
00:47:05from school,
00:47:05make your meals,
00:47:07do all the things
00:47:08you wish I'd done better.
00:47:10would that make you
00:47:11happy?
00:47:14Yes!
00:47:15Thank you, Mom!
00:47:16All the best!
00:47:21Mommy!
00:47:24That's my sweet boy.
00:47:25I couldn't remember
00:47:26the last time
00:47:27my son had held
00:47:28my hand like that.
00:47:29The last bit of affection
00:47:31he gave me
00:47:31was his thank you
00:47:33for letting another woman
00:47:35become his mother.
00:47:39enough, Nox.
00:47:41She's fine.
00:47:42Stop fighting me over her.
00:47:51I don't know
00:47:52where to go.
00:47:53I don't have
00:47:54any strength left.
00:47:57Am I dying?
00:48:00But it's not time yet.
00:48:05Selena?
00:48:08Viola?
00:48:10Viola!
00:48:11Can you hear me?
00:48:18Selena?
00:48:22You came.
00:48:26Selena and I
00:48:27had been friends
00:48:28since college.
00:48:30She never trusted Leander.
00:48:33I refused to listen
00:48:34and we fought so badly.
00:48:37She didn't even come
00:48:38to my mate bond ceremony.
00:48:44Look at you.
00:48:45You can barely breathe.
00:48:48Where the hell
00:48:49is Leander?
00:48:49Leander.
00:48:51You spent years
00:48:52telling me you were happy.
00:48:53Is this what happy
00:48:54looks like?
00:48:56I'm sorry.
00:48:58I didn't know
00:48:58who else to call.
00:49:00You're the only person
00:49:01I still trust.
00:49:02Don't say that.
00:49:03Silverthorne Wolfsbane?
00:49:04How long has this
00:49:05been happening?
00:49:06Why didn't you
00:49:07call me sooner?
00:49:08Why didn't you
00:49:29You left all of this
00:49:30to me?
00:49:31No!
00:49:31I don't want your money!
00:49:33I want you alive!
00:49:34I want you alive!
00:49:36I want you alive!
00:49:38I want you alive!
00:49:38I want you alive!
00:49:47You finally lost,
00:49:48Valiola.
00:49:49Your parents chose me.
00:49:51Your mate chose me.
00:49:53Even your son chose me.
00:49:55Face it.
00:49:56You were never going
00:49:56to matter to them
00:49:57the way I do.
00:49:58That vicious
00:49:59fucking bitch!
00:50:01I spent years
00:50:02trying to expose Iris.
00:50:03All it did was make
00:50:04them trust her more
00:50:05and hate me more.
00:50:06In the end,
00:50:07she didn't have
00:50:07to steal anything.
00:50:08They gave themselves
00:50:09to her.
00:50:15Viola,
00:50:15stay with me.
00:50:17Your mom just texted.
00:50:18Maybe she finally
00:50:19realized something's wrong.
00:50:21Viola,
00:50:22Iris will be taking
00:50:23the master bedroom
00:50:24when she's discharged.
00:50:25Put fresh lilies in there
00:50:26and repaint the walls blue.
00:50:28She likes that color.
00:50:29Move your things
00:50:30to the basement
00:50:31before she comes home.
00:50:31She needs the space.
00:50:37Almost over.
00:50:43Ira was waiting for me.
00:50:46Neither of us
00:50:47had much longer.
00:50:54Now it's my turn.
00:51:02Viola!
00:51:09I always thought
00:51:10I had the perfect husband.
00:51:12Every wife in Maple Grove
00:51:13was envious of me.
00:51:16Until the family doctor
00:51:17who had served our family
00:51:18for ten years
00:51:19told me a secret.
00:51:20Mrs. Sloan,
00:51:22I'm heading out.
00:51:24Dr. Martin,
00:51:24please wait.
00:51:26Dr. Martin,
00:51:26this 1895 Bordeaux
00:51:28is a little token
00:51:28of our appreciation.
00:51:29Thank you for taking care
00:51:30of us these past ten years.
00:51:32This is a gift
00:51:33from me personally.
00:51:34You deserve it.
00:51:36Mrs. Sloan,
00:51:36you've always been
00:51:37so generous to me.
00:51:38You should go down
00:51:39and take a look
00:51:39in that old basement
00:51:40in your backyard,
00:51:41the one your husband
00:51:42never let you enter.
00:51:43How would Martin know
00:51:44about the abandoned basement
00:51:45in the backyard?
00:51:48Claire,
00:51:49this is our new home.
00:51:50The perfect house
00:51:51for my perfect girl.
00:51:53Can I see the basement?
00:51:54I want to turn it
00:51:55into my art studio.
00:51:58There was a problem
00:51:59with the basement
00:52:00during construction,
00:52:01so the entrance
00:52:02was sealed off.
00:52:03Darling,
00:52:04promise me
00:52:05you won't go near it.
00:52:06I don't want you
00:52:07to get hurt.
00:52:08All right,
00:52:09if you say so.
00:52:15I have a merger
00:52:16negotiation tonight.
00:52:17Don't wait up for me.
00:52:18Love you.
00:52:19Edward has important
00:52:20business negotiations
00:52:21like this at least
00:52:22three times a week.
00:52:23For ten years,
00:52:24I never asked questions
00:52:25because a good wife
00:52:26shouldn't doubt
00:52:27her husband's words.
00:52:31But once trust
00:52:32begins to crack,
00:52:33the entire world
00:52:34you see
00:52:35also distorts.
00:52:40It's not abandoned.
00:52:41A table,
00:52:42a chair,
00:52:43a bottle of Macallan.
00:52:44This is clearly
00:52:45a secret office.
00:52:47What did Martin see here
00:52:49that kept him silent
00:52:50for ten years
00:52:51until he finally dared
00:52:53to tell me
00:52:53before retiring?
00:52:57It's still
00:52:58Edward's birthday.
00:53:07Edward?
00:53:09What exactly
00:53:10are you hiding?
00:53:11Villa number six
00:53:12on Lakeside Avenue.
00:53:14A seven-minute drive
00:53:16from here.
00:53:16Worth 15 million dollars?
00:53:18And the owner is
00:53:20Fiona Reed.
00:53:21Who is Fiona Reed?
00:53:25Are these bank statements?
00:53:27One hundred thousand dollars
00:53:29transferred on the
00:53:2915th of every month.
00:53:31And the recipient is...
00:53:36Fiona Reed.
00:53:37Not again.
00:53:44To my beloved Fiona,
00:53:45I can't wait to see you
00:53:47and the baby.
00:53:48So this is the secret
00:53:49locked away in the basement.
00:53:51I've been the perfect wife
00:53:52for ten years.
00:53:53While he has a whole
00:53:54other family
00:53:54less than three miles
00:53:55away from me.
00:53:56A mansion,
00:53:58a child,
00:53:58all of it.
00:54:05Will, it's Claire.
00:54:06I need you to look
00:54:07into someone for me.
00:54:08Fiona Reed.
00:54:09Yes, everything.
00:54:10I want all the information.
00:54:13Edward,
00:54:13you better pray to God
00:54:15Will doesn't find
00:54:15anything on me.
00:54:19My wife, Claire,
00:54:20Claire is my rock.
00:54:21Without her,
00:54:22I wouldn't be where I am today.
00:54:26It's almost two in the morning.
00:54:27You're still awake?
00:54:33What the hell are you doing?
00:54:36I've been waiting
00:54:36for you to come home.
00:54:38Why do you have a gun?
00:54:40What the hell are you thinking?
00:54:42You came home too late.
00:54:43I'm alone here
00:54:44and having a gun
00:54:45makes me feel safer.
00:54:51If I'm home late
00:54:52in the future,
00:54:52go to bed.
00:54:53You don't have to
00:54:53wait up for me.
00:54:54Maple Grove
00:54:55is the safest community
00:54:56in Chicago.
00:54:57You don't need a gun.
00:54:58What about the
00:54:59lakeside neighborhood?
00:55:00It's only a seven-minute
00:55:01drive from here.
00:55:01I hear it's even nicer
00:55:03over there.
00:55:03You don't even like villas.
00:55:05Sloan Realty's cash flow
00:55:06is a little tight this year.
00:55:08We need to be more frugal.
00:55:09Tonight's negotiations
00:55:10were exhausting.
00:55:11I'm going to bed.
00:55:13Don't point that thing
00:55:14at me again.
00:55:15What a performance.
00:55:16Ten years ago,
00:55:17he was a penniless kid
00:55:18who couldn't even afford
00:55:19the $5,000 company
00:55:20registration fee.
00:55:22Now he can lie to his wife
00:55:23without even blinking.
00:55:26Fuck!
00:55:32Claire, run!
00:55:35Mom!
00:55:38Why weren't you here earlier?
00:55:39You killed my mother!
00:55:41Mr. Harrison,
00:55:42you're too late.
00:55:43After that night,
00:55:44I couldn't forgive my father.
00:55:46I gave up everything
00:55:47in the Cartwright family
00:55:48and chose to leave
00:55:48with Edward.
00:55:49I thought he'd always be
00:55:50a man who was willing
00:55:51to die for me.
00:55:52But that's the thing
00:55:53about men.
00:55:53Once you bet everything
00:55:54on them,
00:55:55they think they've already won
00:55:56so they don't have
00:55:57to keep pretending.
00:55:58Mr. Sloan,
00:55:59Sloan Realty's valuation
00:56:00is about to break
00:56:01$10 billion
00:56:03in market value.
00:56:04Tell us,
00:56:05what's the secret
00:56:05to your success?
00:56:06Hard work,
00:56:07instinct,
00:56:07and a little bit of luck.
00:56:09Luck?
00:56:09The first piece of land
00:56:11Sloan Realty ever acquired
00:56:12was something he and I
00:56:13fought for
00:56:14with guns pointed
00:56:15in our faces.
00:56:17Funny how he never mentions
00:56:18that on television.
00:56:19Even if you are a Cartwright,
00:56:20I won't give up
00:56:21that piece of land
00:56:22in the West District.
00:56:32Your hand is shaking.
00:56:34It's my first time
00:56:34using a gun.
00:56:35I'll get used to it.
00:56:36Claire,
00:56:37you're even more ruthless
00:56:38than your father.
00:56:38For the property
00:56:39in the West District,
00:56:40I'll pay 10%
00:56:41above its market value.
00:56:42Sign it and you can walk away
00:56:43with your dignity intact.
00:56:44Refuse,
00:56:45and you won't be able
00:56:46to walk away at all.
00:56:48Kid,
00:56:49you married a woman
00:56:5010 times more ruthless
00:56:51than you.
00:56:52Don't screw this up.
00:56:53I don't intend to.
00:56:55Edward,
00:56:56I turned you
00:56:57from a penniless kid
00:56:58into a real estate tycoon
00:56:59worth billions.
00:57:01But don't forget,
00:57:02I can also leave you
00:57:03with less than nothing.
00:57:06Cheers.
00:57:09Next week is my mother's
00:57:1060th birthday,
00:57:11and we're not throwing
00:57:12a private party this year.
00:57:13Instead,
00:57:14we're throwing a charity gala
00:57:15at Maple Grove Country Club.
00:57:16Please oversee
00:57:17to the arrangements in advance.
00:57:19Will do.
00:57:20And don't make it
00:57:21as cheap as last time.
00:57:22The guest list needs
00:57:23to include every prominent
00:57:24figure in Chicago,
00:57:25and the auction items
00:57:26have to be top tier.
00:57:27Don't disappoint me.
00:57:29Yes, I know.
00:57:31I'm going to New York
00:57:32on business tonight.
00:57:33I'll be gone for three days.
00:57:35Don't wait up for me.
00:57:37Okay.
00:57:38New York?
00:57:39From Maple Grove
00:57:40to the Lakeside Villa,
00:57:41it's only a seven-minute drive.
00:57:47Claire,
00:57:48I have my findings.
00:57:49You better come
00:57:49see them yourself.
00:57:55You're even more efficient
00:57:57than I remember.
00:58:00When it comes to you,
00:58:01you're always my top priority.
00:58:03Fiona Reed,
00:58:0426 years old.
00:58:05Former executive assistant
00:58:06at Sloan Realty.
00:58:07She left three years ago.
00:58:09She currently lives
00:58:09at Lakeside Villa No. 6,
00:58:11Gold Coast,
00:58:12and is currently unemployed.
00:58:13She owns a white Porsche Cayenne
00:58:15and another luxury Lakeside Villa,
00:58:16all purchased within the past six months.
00:58:18For the past three years,
00:58:20she's received a reoccurring payment
00:58:21of $100,000 every month,
00:58:23all transferred from
00:58:25Edward's private offshore account.
00:58:27And she's eight months pregnant.
00:58:29It's a boy.
00:58:31That's impossible.
00:58:32Edward's practically infertile.
00:58:34That's why we haven't had children
00:58:35in our ten years of marriage.
00:58:36Dr. Martin once suggested IVF,
00:58:38but Edward said the egg retrieval needle
00:58:39would be too painful
00:58:40and he couldn't bear to see me suffer.
00:58:43He said we could still be a happy
00:58:45and fulfilled family without children.
00:58:47So it wasn't because
00:58:48he couldn't bear to see me suffer.
00:58:49He just didn't want to have a child with me.
00:58:55You don't look much like a lawyer right now.
00:58:57That's because I never intended
00:58:58to be just your lawyer.
00:59:00The first time you walked into this law firm
00:59:0211 years ago,
00:59:03I fell in love with you.
00:59:05Unfortunately,
00:59:06the timing never seemed to work out for us.
00:59:11This is the cup you used
00:59:12the first time you came to the firm.
00:59:14I've kept it for 11 years.
00:59:15I took it with me every time I moved
00:59:17and never let anyone else touch it.
00:59:20I told myself that as long as you were happy,
00:59:23I'd be by your side as your lawyer
00:59:24for the rest of my life.
00:59:25And I'd always there whenever you needed me,
00:59:27in a strictly professional manner, of course.
00:59:29But I know Edward doesn't make you happy.
00:59:31So, Claire,
00:59:33I won't be your lawyer this time.
00:59:35Marry me.
00:59:37Will, I came here to get a divorce,
00:59:39not pick up a new husband.
00:59:41I know.
00:59:42Right now,
00:59:43there's only one thing on my mind.
00:59:44Getting back every single thing
00:59:46Edward took from me
00:59:46down to the last penny.
00:59:48Okay.
00:59:49I'll help you.
00:59:50Do this for me first.
00:59:52Find out the entire ownership structure
00:59:54of Sloan Realty
00:59:55and every private account Edward has hidden.
00:59:57Find out exactly how much marital property
00:59:59he's transferred over the past 10 years.
01:00:01Dig up every last bit of dirt.
01:00:02Give me 72 hours
01:00:04and I'll give you what you want.
01:00:07Will, between us,
01:00:08this shouldn't be anything more
01:00:09than a strict lawyer-client relationship, okay?
01:00:11I'll be your best divorce lawyer.
01:00:13And this time,
01:00:14I am not backing down.
01:00:19Claire, do you see them?
01:00:28Crystal clear.
01:00:29They go on dates like this
01:00:30at least two or three times a week.
01:00:32Fiona Reed's prenatal yoga class
01:00:34is only five kilometers from your house.
01:00:36They really aren't even trying to hide it.
01:00:37What do they take me for?
01:00:38Some idiot who'd never figure it out?
01:00:40I'll be at your office in 15 minutes.
01:00:46You're calmer than I expected.
01:00:48I'm too old to scream my feelings out.
01:00:51Get to the point.
01:00:52Your husband has kept a lot more secrets
01:00:54than I thought.
01:00:55On paper, Edward owns 48% of Sloan Realty.
01:00:58But through these two Cayman off-store accounts,
01:01:00he actually controls 78% of the company.
01:01:02The legal representative is...
01:01:10Nathan, Edward's old college classmate.
01:01:12A puppet who handles the signatures and paperwork,
01:01:14Edward is the sole beneficial owner.
01:01:16Over the past three years,
01:01:17he's used fake contracts
01:01:18to move $30 million into offshore hidden accounts,
01:01:20splitting the money across six banks.
01:01:22And get this,
01:01:23two of them are under Fiona Reed's name.
01:01:25What about the real estate?
01:01:26How many assets does he own
01:01:27that I don't know about?
01:01:28Three properties,
01:01:29the Hamptons, Aspen,
01:01:30and downtown Chicago,
01:01:30all were refinanced last year
01:01:32and no one knows where the cash went.
01:01:33And besides the Lakeside Villa,
01:01:34Fiona Reed also owns
01:01:35these two storefront properties.
01:01:36She paid for them in cash six months ago.
01:01:38The marital assets he's transferred
01:01:39behind my back over these 10 years
01:01:40are worth at least $200 million.
01:01:42While all I have in my name
01:01:43is the right to live in that house
01:01:44that I don't even own the title to.
01:01:48Edward really thought of every way
01:01:49to scam you out of your money.
01:01:52And it gets even worse.
01:01:53Last month,
01:01:54he hired the most expensive family lawyer in Chicago
01:01:56to draft his own divorce agreement.
01:01:59Due to irreconcilable differences
01:02:01and the wife's inability to bear children,
01:02:03both parties have voluntarily agreed
01:02:05to dissolve the marriage.
01:02:06The wife waivers all marital property
01:02:08while the husband,
01:02:09out of humanitarian concern,
01:02:11will provide the wife
01:02:11with a one-time payment of $300,000.
01:02:15Unable to bear children?
01:02:16Only $300,000?
01:02:18I gave that man $5 million
01:02:19to start his business.
01:02:21He's had it all planned out.
01:02:22Once Fiona gives birth
01:02:23and the asset transfers are complete,
01:02:25he'll hand you this agreement,
01:02:26throw you out with a $300,000 check,
01:02:28and then marry Fiona openly and legally.
01:02:29When is Fiona due?
01:02:30The 15th of next month.
01:02:32What are you going to do?
01:02:35Edward plans to flaunt his perfect life
01:02:36to all of Chicago
01:02:37at next week's charity gala.
01:02:39So I'm going to give him
01:02:40the perfect gift.
01:02:41Ten years ago,
01:02:43when I married Edward Sloan,
01:02:44everyone said I was crazy.
01:02:48Cartwright Industries ranks
01:02:49among the top three companies
01:02:50in the country.
01:02:51You are my only daughter,
01:02:52and you will inherit
01:02:52everything I have.
01:02:53If you marry that broke boy,
01:02:55I won't give you a single penny.
01:02:57Edward isn't some broke boy.
01:02:58He just hasn't gotten his start yet.
01:03:00He can't even get past
01:03:01the starting line,
01:03:02yet you forked over $5 million
01:03:03to him already.
01:03:04Claire,
01:03:05if I'd arrived three minutes
01:03:06later that night,
01:03:07you'd have died in that warehouse.
01:03:09He didn't save you.
01:03:11He's the one who put you in danger.
01:03:13Edward rushed into that warehouse
01:03:14and was pinned to the ground
01:03:16and beaten
01:03:17until he had two broken ribs.
01:03:18And where were you, huh?
01:03:20Waiting for the police
01:03:21to secure the scene.
01:03:22Secure the scene!
01:03:23That was my mother,
01:03:25your wife,
01:03:26and she died because of you.
01:03:28You killed her!
01:03:32I don't need the Cartwright name.
01:03:35I'll use my new name
01:03:37to build something of my own.
01:03:40Claire,
01:03:41I promise you,
01:03:42I'll give you a perfect home
01:03:44in the future.
01:03:45Marry me.
01:03:46I believed in him.
01:03:47I bet everything I had on him
01:03:49in exchange for
01:03:51one promise.
01:03:54Even on the day
01:03:55Sloan Properties went public,
01:03:57I gave up my chance
01:03:58to take the stage,
01:04:00content to be the perfect wife
01:04:02standing in his shadow.
01:04:05Now he really does
01:04:06have the whole world
01:04:07eating out of the palm
01:04:07of his hand,
01:04:08but now,
01:04:10there's no place
01:04:11for me in it.
01:04:12Dad, it's me.
01:04:14I want to come home.
01:04:19Ma'am,
01:04:20do you have an appointment?
01:04:21No,
01:04:21but I believe
01:04:22Mr. Harrison Cartwright
01:04:23will be willing to see me.
01:04:24May I ask who you are?
01:04:26Claire Cartwright.
01:04:31Look who finally decided
01:04:32to come home.
01:04:34There's the 34% stake
01:04:36your mother left you,
01:04:37plus my 41%.
01:04:39Sign here,
01:04:40and Cartwright Industries
01:04:41is yours.
01:04:43Dad, I'm sorry.
01:04:45All these years,
01:04:46I've regretted every day
01:04:47that I arrived
01:04:48too late that day.
01:04:49So if you hate me,
01:04:50I can't blame you.
01:04:51I just hate seeing you hurt.
01:04:55Since you left me,
01:04:57Cartwright's orders
01:04:57have kept Sloan Properties
01:04:59suppliers in business,
01:05:01and its bank loans afloat.
01:05:02Without me backing him
01:05:04from behind the scenes,
01:05:05his company wouldn't have
01:05:05made it past its third year.
01:05:07Why didn't you tell me?
01:05:08The way you looked
01:05:09at him back then,
01:05:09it was like you were
01:05:10looking at a hero.
01:05:11How could I tell you?
01:05:14Now that you've finally
01:05:14woken up from your fantasies,
01:05:16do you need me to step in?
01:05:17No.
01:05:18I'll fight this battle myself.
01:05:21Your mother used this pen
01:05:22to sign her very first contract.
01:05:24Sign it,
01:05:25and go fight your battle.
01:05:27Edward,
01:05:28five days from now,
01:05:29I want you to watch
01:05:30everything you've built
01:05:32crumble and fall
01:05:33in front of everyone.
01:05:39Get me a black coffee.
01:05:45Good morning, Victoria.
01:05:46I didn't know
01:05:46you were coming today.
01:05:50Of course I'm coming.
01:05:51My charity gala
01:05:52is in three days.
01:05:54I need to make sure
01:05:55you haven't messed it up.
01:05:58You didn't send the invitations
01:05:59to the wrong people,
01:06:00did you?
01:06:01Last time you left Tiffany
01:06:02off the guest list,
01:06:03it took me two months
01:06:04to stop her from making
01:06:05snide remarks about it.
01:06:06Your coffee still tastes like shit.
01:06:08All the invitations
01:06:09have been sent out,
01:06:10and the auction catalog
01:06:11and menus have been sent
01:06:12to your email.
01:06:20Add one more seat
01:06:21to the head table.
01:06:22Edward has an important
01:06:23friend attending.
01:06:24She'll be sitting beside me.
01:06:25Oh, what important friend?
01:06:28And my old friends,
01:06:30Patricia, Marilyn,
01:06:31and Barbara.
01:06:32Put them all towards
01:06:33the head of the table,
01:06:34seated according
01:06:34to their status.
01:06:35Don't get it wrong.
01:06:36Mrs. Patricia said last time
01:06:38that she didn't want
01:06:38to sit near the door.
01:06:40Then leave her
01:06:41to another seat.
01:06:42Do I really have
01:06:42to teach you everything?
01:06:43You've been a housewife
01:06:44for ten years,
01:06:45and you still don't know
01:06:46how to arrange
01:06:46a simple seating chart?
01:06:48Claire,
01:06:49my mother rarely
01:06:50makes requests.
01:06:52Just do what she says.
01:06:54Of course.
01:06:55I'll take care
01:06:56of everything, Victoria.
01:07:01It's a work call.
01:07:02You two continue.
01:07:03Everything's ready.
01:07:04I'll come pick you up
01:07:05myself on the night
01:07:06of the gala.
01:07:06This jewelry supplier
01:07:08isn't good enough.
01:07:09I want Harry Winston.
01:07:10I don't care how
01:07:10you negotiate it.
01:07:11My charity gala
01:07:12cannot look shabby
01:07:13compared to Patricia's
01:07:14last year.
01:07:16Are you listening?
01:07:18I heard you.
01:07:20Good.
01:07:21Don't piss me off.
01:07:22Edward,
01:07:23walk your mother
01:07:23to the door.
01:07:27On the night
01:07:27of the gala,
01:07:28remember to have
01:07:29Fiona sit beside me.
01:07:30I want everyone
01:07:31to see the true future
01:07:32of the Sloan family.
01:07:34Yes, ma'am.
01:07:35Looks like Fiona Reed
01:07:37will be attending
01:07:37the gala too.
01:07:39Then I'll make sure
01:07:40to give her
01:07:40a proper welcome.
01:07:46You go in first.
01:07:47I need to pick
01:07:48someone up.
01:07:52The private room
01:07:53upstairs is ready
01:07:53and all the materials
01:07:55are in place.
01:07:57The projector
01:07:57is already connected
01:07:58to the ballroom screen.
01:07:59You can start
01:07:59whenever you're ready.
01:08:01But there's bad news.
01:08:02Edward is signing
01:08:03a share transfer agreement
01:08:04with Fiona tonight.
01:08:06As soon as the gala ends,
01:08:07he's taking her
01:08:08to the lawyer's office.
01:08:09Why?
01:08:11Fiona's due date
01:08:11has been moved up.
01:08:13The doctor says
01:08:14she could go into labor
01:08:15at any time this week.
01:08:16So she wants to get
01:08:17the Sloan property
01:08:18shares ahead of time.
01:08:19She can't wait any longer.
01:08:21Poor dear.
01:08:22She'll be waiting
01:08:23for the rest of her life.
01:08:28Victoria,
01:08:29only you could pull off
01:08:30a charity gala
01:08:31this lavish.
01:08:32Everyone at Maple Grove
01:08:33just talking about you.
01:08:35Edward arranged
01:08:35everything himself.
01:08:36That's just like him.
01:08:38He always knows
01:08:38how to make his mother happy.
01:08:41Claire,
01:08:42you look
01:08:43all right tonight.
01:08:44It's your night.
01:08:46I don't want to
01:08:47outshine you.
01:08:48This dress is really chic.
01:08:51Valentino?
01:08:52Yes.
01:08:53I've never seen
01:08:54this style before.
01:08:55Is it a custom piece?
01:08:57Of course it's custom made.
01:08:59When you're spending
01:09:00Edward's money,
01:09:00your taste naturally
01:09:01can't be bad.
01:09:02It's a shame, though,
01:09:03that after ten years
01:09:04of marriage,
01:09:04you still haven't
01:09:05given him an heir.
01:09:06I really don't understand
01:09:08why Edward insisted
01:09:09on marrying her
01:09:10in the first place.
01:09:12Claire!
01:09:13Oh my God,
01:09:14you look gorgeous tonight.
01:09:16I almost thought
01:09:16this was your birthday party.
01:09:18Tiffany,
01:09:19you always know
01:09:19how to flatter me.
01:09:20I mean every word.
01:09:25Nathan's here.
01:09:26Where is Edward?
01:09:27Why isn't he here yet?
01:09:29He's gone to pick up a friend.
01:09:30He'll be here soon.
01:09:32What kind of friend
01:09:34needs him to pick her up
01:09:35personally?
01:09:36Oh, right.
01:09:37There is one
01:09:38very important friend.
01:09:39The show is about to begin.
01:09:41Edward must have gone
01:09:42to pick up Fiona.
01:09:44Can you just...
01:09:44Can you stop telling me
01:09:45to shut up all the time?
01:09:46I've been waiting
01:09:47three years for this drama.
01:09:49Go ahead and laugh.
01:09:50Once everyone is here,
01:09:52it's time to settle the score.
01:10:01Fiona!
01:10:02Darling!
01:10:03Be careful.
01:10:04You're expecting.
01:10:06You need to take things slowly.
01:10:08Happy birthday, Victoria.
01:10:10I have this diamond necklace
01:10:11custom made for you.
01:10:13I hope you like it.
01:10:17As long as it's for you,
01:10:19I'll love it.
01:10:20But that baby you're carrying
01:10:21is the best birthday present
01:10:23you could give me.
01:10:25Who's this pregnant lady?
01:10:26Mrs. Sloan's mistress.
01:10:28Oh, my God.
01:10:30Mrs. Sloan is right there.
01:10:32We're in for a good show today.
01:10:38Get over here.
01:10:40The party is about to begin.
01:10:45Miss Reed, welcome.
01:10:47I'll make sure you're
01:10:48well taken care of tonight.
01:10:50No need to trouble yourself,
01:10:51Mrs. Sloan.
01:10:53Edward will take care of me.
01:10:58Everything's good to go.
01:10:59You can start whenever you're ready.
01:11:00What are we doing?
01:11:10What is this?
01:11:12That's the Tears of Sorrow crown
01:11:14worn by Queen Mary
01:11:15in the 18th century.
01:11:17And it's actually tonight's
01:11:18grand finale auction item.
01:11:22Everyone,
01:11:23the Tears of Sorrow
01:11:24isn't tonight's auction item.
01:11:26It's a birthday gift
01:11:26I'm giving to my mother.
01:11:27Victoria.
01:11:30Mom,
01:11:31you deserve the best.
01:11:34Mom,
01:11:35come up here
01:11:35and let me put the crown
01:11:37on you myself.
01:11:39Go ahead and laugh.
01:11:41The bigger this gala gets,
01:11:43the more people there will be
01:11:45to watch you make fools
01:11:46of yourselves later.
01:11:57Now this is how the first lady
01:11:59of the Sloan family
01:12:00should look.
01:12:02Fiona,
01:12:03come up here.
01:12:05Mom,
01:12:06this isn't appropriate.
01:12:17The show is fire.
01:12:19On behalf of the Sloan family,
01:12:21I want to give this
01:12:22Tears of Sorrow crown
01:12:23to Fiona
01:12:24and to the child
01:12:25she's carrying.
01:12:26This child will be
01:12:28the Sloan family's
01:12:30only heir.
01:12:33Oh my God.
01:12:34Is she serious right now?
01:12:36Has Victoria lost her mind?
01:12:38Claire is sitting right there.
01:12:40I heard Claire can't have children
01:12:42and refuses to use a surrogate.
01:12:43This is karma,
01:12:44but this is just
01:12:45too disrespectful.
01:12:47Look at Claire's expression.
01:12:48I told you should be
01:12:49thrown out eventually.
01:12:51Honey,
01:12:52keep your voice down.
01:12:56Do you want me to step in?
01:12:58Not yet.
01:12:59The real show
01:13:00hasn't started yet.
01:13:01Thank you,
01:13:02Victoria.
01:13:03Thank you,
01:13:04Edward.
01:13:06I'll treasure this crown
01:13:07and I'll take good care
01:13:09of the baby I'm carrying.
01:13:11Claire,
01:13:12want me to go
01:13:13touch up your makeup?
01:13:14Otherwise,
01:13:14it'll be embarrassing
01:13:15when you go up there
01:13:16and can't outshine Fiona.
