00:10:51Carol I found out when the two cousins were competing and John started EM
00:10:57John's mother secretly transferred a lot of STM data into EM so it's possible

00:13:55person is blurred in the photo the brooch was clearly taken it's you who
00:14:07seduced my son your parents killed themselves your small company went

00:24:42cooperation John's definitely gonna blame her
00:24:45K's reputation in the industry will be completely tarnished no one will dare
00:24:49cooperate with her mr. Easton I have been working with your company for years
00:25:00and I have never seen an assessment report this terrible is this a joke mr.
00:25:05Russell there must be some kind of misunderstanding the project's been
00:25:09going very smoothly this is so unprofessional it is full of mistakes
00:25:14that report was written by the top lawyer okay so there shouldn't be any
00:25:18issues right Caroline care to explain how do you
00:25:24explain a lack of professionalism I'm sorry I'm afraid this means we can no
00:25:30mr. Russell you can't make that decision what did you just say okay is right
00:25:40Roberts you don't have the qualifications to decide who to
00:25:43cooperate with Robert what are you doing here if I hadn't have come you would
00:25:50have missed out on a great project what does president Lynch mean this is the
00:25:57assessment done by K what you're holding is fake what the assessment is
00:26:03flawless K really is as good as they say impossible I could you say that you knew
00:26:09there was a problem with the assessment file and insisted on giving it to Elena
00:26:14or are you surprised that even with the fake data that you gave me I was able to
00:26:20present a praiseworthy assessment report you're lying I didn't care to
00:26:28explain this
00:26:31that's evidence of you sneaking into my office and switching the documents you
00:26:39tricked me Mary you're fired
00:26:46misunderstanding
00:26:50you
00:27:03you knew Mary was playing tricks why did you let her do something so foolish it
00:27:10raises questions when someone comes at you for no reason
00:27:13we've changed it's hard not to change after everything I've been through along
00:27:30look who's coming
00:27:34that bitch cost me my job I'll never let her off the hook you know there's an
00:27:46opportunity right now for us to get revenge mom was work smooth yesterday I
00:27:57had some trouble but it's all smoothed over now what about dad did he help you
00:28:03Leo I don't want to have to tell you again John is not your father I want dad
00:28:09John would be good I'll think it over carefully now please eat your breakfast
00:28:20mom you got a problem
00:28:24someone is spreading lies about you online trying to harm your reputation
00:28:30I'll deal with this you go get ready for school I saw it photos of Caroline and
00:28:35that man I mean guys
00:28:44are those rumors said online true of course not they're rumors that man
00:28:49richer than me how much money did it give you you know what John he did give
00:28:54me more and he's better in bed than you
00:28:57are you satisfied where do you touch you wasn't here
00:29:06here what made you so promiscuous these last ten years you've got me all wrong
00:29:15what made you so promiscuous these last
00:29:17ten years you got me all wrong John move
00:29:32you're so stupid you can't even see such an obvious trap
00:29:38What's this? You know what to do next, right? Why give it to me? Because compared to others, you're a good candidate to be my dad.
00:29:48You need to win my mom's heart. This is my phone number. You can contact me anytime.
00:30:00Hand over all the evidence to the police and let Mary know there's consequences for spreading rumors.
00:30:06I looked into the transfer in VM Company's database, and I found evidence that your parents were killed.
00:30:13The problem is, the information is at the core of VM, which is nearly impossible to access.
00:30:19You go first. I'll take care of it.
00:30:21No, I'm going with you. You can't do this by yourself. And, handedly, I don't trust John. I think he still has feelings for you.
00:30:29Don't forget, I'm still your boss.
00:30:35Caroline, I want to apologize for my behavior just now. I know you're not that kind of person.
00:30:46Mr. Easton, if there's nothing else, I'd like to get back to work.
00:30:50I've already sent the person who spread those rumors to prison.
00:30:53Would you send your mother to prison for me?
00:30:58Caroline, I'm sincerely trying to apologize.
00:31:01An apology is worthless.
00:31:04I know my behavior was offensive and my attitude towards you was wrong, but I was just angry that you disappeared for ten years.
00:31:12But I've come to realize I can't help but care for you, Caroline.
00:31:16Can we start over?
00:31:18You and your employees have something against me. There isn't the slightest bit of trust, and you want to start over?
00:31:26This is the key to the company's database, which grants you access to all the core files. I'm giving it to you.
00:31:36He actually trusts me with this. Willing to hand over the core of the company to me?
00:31:46You don't have to do this.
00:31:49It's okay.
00:31:51You don't have to do this.
00:31:54It's okay. I've waited ten years. I'm going to wait a little longer.
00:32:07If you must blame someone, blame your mother for killing my parents.
00:32:20This is the contract. Signed between your mother and me.
00:32:24I'm sorry.
00:32:26I'm sorry.
00:32:28I'm sorry.
00:32:30I'm sorry.
00:32:32I'm sorry.
00:32:34I'm sorry.
00:32:36I'm sorry.
00:32:38I'm sorry.
00:32:40I'm sorry.
00:32:42I'm sorry.
00:32:44I'm sorry.
00:32:46I'm sorry.
00:32:47This is the contract. Signed between Rebecca and my parents' company.
00:32:53With a price three times higher, my parents' death wasn't an accident.
00:32:59I know what you want. If you cooperate with me, I promise I'll make sure that John's mother spends the rest of her life in prison.
00:33:08How can I trust you?
00:33:09Because I'm competing with John for the same position of CEO of the STM Corporation, I think we would make great partners.
00:33:18I'll get you an answer soon.
00:33:30John, what are you doing in my house?
00:33:32Mom, I asked him to come over because the light bulb was broken, and he came to fix it.
00:33:39Well, it looks like the light bulb is fixed, so you can leave.
00:33:48Are you okay? You don't look well. Do you need to take a few days off to rest?
00:33:54I'm fine. I would appreciate if you did not come into my home without an invitation.
00:33:59Mom, tomorrow the school is hosting a parent-child activity that requires both parents to be present.
00:34:06Can I invite John?
00:34:08Um, I...
00:34:11Mom, all the other kids have a dad.
00:34:15Of course.
00:34:16You can invite him.
00:34:17Awesome.
00:34:19Well, it's getting late. I'll head home now. I'll see you tomorrow, Leo.
00:34:24See you tomorrow, Dad.
00:34:30I made this for you.
00:34:33Oh, well, it's ugly, but I appreciate it.
00:34:43John, tell me, what should I do?
00:34:49Mom, come look.
00:34:52Oh, okay.
00:34:55The clay figures Dad makes are beautiful.
00:34:57Oh, wow.
00:34:59Here, make one with us.
00:35:02John, if I send your mother to prison, would you still love me?
00:35:12What are you looking at?
00:35:14Do you want to pursue my mom?
00:35:15What's your idea?
00:35:17No woman can refuse a romantic marriage proposal.
00:35:20My mom's birthday is coming up in a few days. Do you understand what I mean?
00:35:25I understand.
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:34Mom, isn't tonight's dinner quite special?
00:35:38Did John do this for me? He still remembers my birthday.
00:35:42Caroline, why are you here?
00:35:45I'm trying to have a nice dinner with my son. Why are you here?
00:35:49Tonight is John and mine's engagement party.
00:35:53This entire candlelight dinner was prepared for me.
00:35:57So everything was just wishful thinking.
00:36:00Why am I still fantasizing about John?
00:36:05Leo, come on. Let's go.
00:36:13Wait for me.
00:36:16Will you take Leo home?
00:36:18What about you?
00:36:21It's time to bring an end to this.
00:36:23Caroline, wait.
00:36:26Look, I don't know what happened to make you leave in such a hurry.
00:36:30But what I want to tell you is,
00:36:32even though you left without saying goodbye for ten years,
00:36:35and even though you have a child with someone else,
00:36:37I find that I cannot stop loving you.
00:36:40So...
00:36:47Will you marry me?
00:36:49Will you marry me?
00:36:54John, do you enjoy playing with my feelings?
00:36:57Dishumiliating me? Accomplish anything for you?
00:37:02I don't understand what you're saying.
00:37:04But my love for you has never changed.
00:37:12The contract ends in one year.
00:37:16Then I'll leave.
00:37:18And we'll just be strangers.
00:37:31Victor, let's meet.
00:37:40It's bad, John.
00:37:42Your mother has been arrested by the police.
00:37:48Wait, why was she arrested?
00:37:50She's been accused of murder.
00:37:52Allegedly, she killed two people from W Company ten years ago.
00:37:56Ten years ago?
00:37:58I've seen the records from those people from Company W.
00:38:01Weren't they killed in an accident?
00:38:03How does this have to do with my mother?
00:38:05She was present at the scene of the crime.
00:38:07The two people that died were Caroline's parents.
00:38:11What?
00:38:13Where is Caroline?
00:38:15I can't reach her over the phone.
00:38:17I found something suspicious.
00:38:20A few days ago, Caroline was seen entering the records room alone.
00:38:24Did she tamper with anything?
00:38:26Find Caroline at all costs.
00:38:28Caroline, this time, I'm going to make sure you disappear from the world forever.
00:38:37That's for what you did at the cocktail party.
00:38:39It was you.
00:38:41Why are you doing this?
00:38:43To get rid of you.
00:38:44Once you're dead, John will be mine forever.
00:38:50Oh, I forgot to tell you.
00:38:53You know that evidence you found in the records room?
00:38:57It was fake.
00:38:59I planted it.
00:39:03Why would you do that?
00:39:05I guess since you're going to die anyway, it doesn't really matter if I tell you.
00:39:11Rebecca,
00:39:12Rebecca,
00:39:14you shouldn't kill your mother.
00:39:16She's just a scapegoat.
00:39:22Dad, it's bad. Mom's in trouble.
00:39:26I installed a tracking device on her phone and she's in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts.
00:39:32I think she's been kidnapped.
00:39:35Don't worry, Leo. I'll save your mom.
00:39:38I've been hating the wrong person this whole time.
00:39:42Time for regret now.
00:39:44John's here. We need to get out of here.
00:39:46Wait.
00:39:48There is something I have to do.
00:39:51We're getting a tracker, aren't we?
00:39:58No.
00:40:00Elena, Elena.
00:40:02Elena, let's talk about this.
00:40:04Elena!
00:40:10You're fucking crazy.
00:40:12Tell Caroline.
00:40:20Tell someone I'm a son!
00:40:23Elena, what are you doing here?
00:40:25Is Caroline inside?
00:40:27I checked. There's no one inside.
00:40:33Elena, what are you doing here?
00:40:35Is Caroline inside?
00:40:37I checked. There's no one inside.
00:40:39I need to check inside.
00:40:43Are you okay?
00:40:49John, John, save me!
00:40:53Shit!
00:41:02Are you alright?
00:41:04Let's go.
00:41:13How did she not die in the fire?
00:41:16Caroline, are you alright?
00:41:19That's really none of your business.
00:41:21How is it none of my business?
00:41:23I've been looking for you everywhere and you're here with Victor.
00:41:26Did you also put my mother in prison?
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:33Now would you stop bothering me?
00:41:35You got close to me to use Victor against me.
00:41:38You left me to die in there!
00:41:40You used me!
00:41:42It's because I never left you.
00:41:48Why don't you handle your business?
00:41:50That won't bother you anymore.
00:41:54John, I'm having trouble breathing.
00:41:57Can you stay with me, please?
00:42:00If you're hurt, go see a doctor.
00:42:07Elena was right.
00:42:08The contract you photographed in the records room,
00:42:11it was tampered with.
00:42:13I was reckless.
00:42:15I fell into a trap, used as a pawn.
00:42:18Someone else murdered my parents.
00:42:23Keep an eye on Elena.
00:42:25Let me know.
00:42:27Elena, for the sake of exposing the real murderer,
00:42:32I'll let you live for now.
00:42:34Why would you let that bitch live?
00:42:36Didn't we agree to get rid of her?
00:42:38She's more valuable alive than dead.
00:42:41Besides, if she were dead,
00:42:44would you still help me?
00:42:52Our friendship has always just been a partnership.
00:42:56Don't take it too seriously.
00:43:00John.
00:43:02John.
00:43:04Kiss me.
00:43:06You betrayed me.
00:43:10Hey.
00:43:13First you used me, and then you pushed me away.
00:43:17I'm going to be heartbroken.
00:43:20Thanks for playing along.
00:43:23Don't forget, you're not the real John.
00:43:32No.
00:43:38You wicked woman.
00:43:40I'll definitely let everyone see your true face.
00:43:48Are you better?
00:43:50You're in such a hurry to leave the hospital.
00:43:53Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?
00:43:55Or were you going to see Victor?
00:43:57I understand that I have made mistakes.
00:43:59I will restore your mother's innocence.
00:44:03And when she is released from prison,
00:44:06I will leave EM.
00:44:08Then we don't owe each other anything.
00:44:11Do you really want to leave like this again?
00:44:14John.
00:44:17Let's let each other go.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:33We've been running the case.
00:44:35Did you suffer in prison?
00:44:37You've been working so hard.
00:44:40Prison gave me time to think.
00:44:43I want a grandchild.
00:44:46You two need to get married as soon as possible.
00:44:49Mom.
00:44:51Do you want me to die before I meet my grandchild?
00:44:56I promise.
00:44:59I promise.
00:45:09Caroline.
00:45:11John and I are getting married soon, so
00:45:14you must come and celebrate.
00:45:18Oh, um.
00:45:20Congratulations.
00:45:23Why don't we celebrate tonight?
00:45:25Sure.
00:45:27Great.
00:45:29Let's go.
00:45:36My letter of resignation.
00:45:41I'll put the money for the penalty
00:45:44in your account tomorrow, and I'll leave.
00:45:47For Victor?
00:45:49You'd rather pay the high penalty than be with me?
00:45:51This isn't about him.
00:45:53I told you, once your mother was out of prison, I would go.
00:45:56I don't need the penalty money.
00:45:58John.
00:46:00It's better if we let each other go.
00:46:06You love Elena.
00:46:08I just got an invitation to your wedding.
00:46:13We have to stop torturing each other.
00:46:17Look.
00:46:19Don't blame me for the situation with my mother.
00:46:22But if you want to be with Victor, I won't let you.
00:46:25As long as I don't break the contract,
00:46:27you can't leave.
00:46:32Watch me.
00:46:35No way.
00:46:41Let go!
00:46:51Let's talk.
00:46:58Let's go.
00:47:04These are the documents from the STM and W Corporation project.
00:47:09They might help you find the murderer.
00:47:15What do you mean?
00:47:17I found out that you left John because you suspected me of killing your parents
00:47:21instead of because I told you to.
00:47:24Don't worry.
00:47:26Even without the information that you provided, I was going to leave.
00:47:32There's one other thing I have to ask you.
00:47:36This is a critical time for STM Corporation.
00:47:39Succession.
00:47:41Help John secure the investment for the project with Company S.
00:47:46The STM CEO position is very important to us.
00:47:50Consider it my compensation for the hurt I've caused you.
00:47:59EM's business investment plan report, this time, has been done well.
00:48:04It includes a detailed risk prevention strategy.
00:48:08This time, I'm going to expose your true face, you wicked woman.
00:48:13Let's take a look.
00:48:18This time, I'm going to expose your true face, you wicked woman.
00:48:23Let's take a look.
00:48:26Our friendship seems to be just a partnership.
00:48:30Stop!
00:48:32This is defamation!
00:48:34Turn this off!
00:48:36I didn't expect John's Beyonce to be so unscrupulous.
00:48:39I don't think we'll be doing business.
00:48:42It has been you behind the scenes this whole time!
00:48:47No!
00:48:49This is digital manipulation!
00:48:52This isn't me!
00:48:53Are you still trying to argue at this point?
00:48:55John, John, you have to believe me.
00:48:57It was her.
00:48:59It had to be her. She doesn't want you to get the investment.
00:49:02I had nothing to do with this.
00:49:04I took all of these.
00:49:06You're lying.
00:49:08You little brat! I'm going to kill you!
00:49:13You little brat! I'm going to kill you!
00:49:14I'm going to kill you!
00:49:20And I just thought you were being temperamental.
00:49:23But I didn't expect you to be so malicious.
00:49:25I was blind to be deceived by you for so long.
00:49:30Take that videotape and her to the police.
00:49:34Let her get a taste of prison.
00:49:37No!
00:49:39No! Stop!
00:49:41Caroline, I'm sorry.
00:49:45No, it's okay.
00:49:47Caroline, I want to apologize for all of my past actions.
00:49:53You were just doing what any mother would do.
00:49:57Don't worry, I'll keep my promise.
00:50:00Let me say I'm sorry. Please, come to our home.
00:50:04Yeah, Caroline, please give my mother and I a chance to apologize.
00:50:07Caroline, I want to go.
00:50:11We'll come by tomorrow night.
00:50:16This child looks exactly like John did when he was young.
00:50:20I must find out whose child he is.
00:50:27Try this. It's chocolate cake.
00:50:31Oh, no, no. Um, Leo's allergic to chocolate.
00:50:34Just like me.
00:50:35Just like me?
00:50:37Caroline, is Leo really Ben's child?
00:50:40Uh, yes.
00:50:46Thank you, Grandma.
00:50:48Eat up, eat up, good boy.
00:50:50Well, math geniuses love pizza.
00:50:53So do I.
00:50:55Right, Leo?
00:50:57That's right.
00:50:59If it weren't for Elena, would our ending be different?
00:51:08Congratulations being released on bail.
00:51:11Thank you, Victor.
00:51:13As I told you a long time ago, John doesn't love you.
00:51:18And if it wasn't for me posting you bail, you'd be still rotting in jail.
00:51:22I'm gonna make those two pay.
00:51:28I'm gonna make those two pay.
00:51:31Finally, you're coming to your senses.
00:51:33You've been short on money lately, haven't you?
00:51:37I'll tell you what.
00:51:39You do something for me, and I'll give you five million dollars.
00:51:46Cheers.
00:51:48Cheers.
00:51:50John, you're forcing me into this.
00:51:53Caroline.
00:51:55Can you stay?
00:51:57I need you, and I can't be without you.
00:51:59Don't worry.
00:52:01I won't help Victor.
00:52:04I need to find the real murderer of my parents.
00:52:07I don't have time for your matters.
00:52:09I can help you.
00:52:12I can handle it myself.
00:52:16I can help you.
00:52:18I can handle it myself.
00:52:19I can handle it myself.
00:52:23Caroline.
00:52:25Boss.
00:52:27Our R&D data from our ad project has been leaked.
00:52:35How could it have leaked?
00:52:37Do you know what company has access to the data?
00:52:39It's a company run by Victor.
00:52:41But most importantly...
00:52:44Go ahead, say it.
00:52:46Elena.
00:52:47She's the one who killed, and it seems she's the one who held up Victor.
00:52:50Of course Elena is involved in this.
00:52:53Is that a problem?
00:52:55When I was kidnapped, Elena told me that someone else had murdered my parents.
00:53:00And then Victor saved me.
00:53:03It's not a coincidence that they're together now.
00:53:06And if I can remember correctly, Victor was the person behind the scenes on the construction project that STM collaborated on with W Company.
00:53:13There must be some connection.
00:53:14Victor was behind the scenes this whole time.
00:53:17I always thought someone else was in charge of that project.
00:53:21Now it all makes sense.
00:53:23Victor is probably the real murderer of my parents.
00:53:29But why would he do that?
00:53:32If it only had to do with the internal strife of the successors, what does that have to do with my parents?
00:53:42John.
00:53:44Do you like the first big gift I've given you?
00:53:47Get to it.
00:53:52If you're willing to marry me, I'll stop.
00:53:55And I'll tell you all of Victor's company's business secrets.
00:53:59How about that?
00:54:01Elena, your actions are so childish.
00:54:04Trying to threaten me with this?
00:54:06John, you'll regret it.
00:54:11Was that Elena? What did she want?
00:54:12Nothing. She was just trying to manipulate me.
00:54:16I have to stay and find out if Victor is the real murderer of my parents.
00:54:21I'm going to put him in jail and make sure he receives the punishment he deserves.
00:54:25Now, the most important thing is to get the resources.
00:54:29Our R&D project took three years.
00:54:32If we want to find new talent to redevelop, I'm afraid it's too late.
00:54:36I need to think about what to do next.
00:54:38Our company is facing being taken over as it is.
00:54:44You guys forgot about me.
00:54:46Leo?
00:54:48Rebecca, what are you doing here?
00:54:54You guys forgot about me.
00:54:56Leo?
00:54:58Rebecca, what are you doing here?
00:55:00Didn't dad hold an AI competition to find some core R&D personnel for the artificial intelligence project?
00:55:05Leo insisted.
00:55:07He is concerned that EM is in trouble and he wants to help.
00:55:11Leo?
00:55:13Do you really think you can handle the help?
00:55:16I believe in Leo.
00:55:18I believe in myself too.
00:55:20I don't know how you a kid can help.
00:55:23He doesn't have a track. Come on.
00:55:28Leo is already handling things at the R&D center.
00:55:31We can't just sit idly by.
00:55:33What do you mean?
00:55:36I am a shareholder at STM.
00:55:40Here is a key to the data center.
00:55:45Take it and let the truth come to light.
00:55:59We need a resolution from all shareholders sent to the database.
00:56:02Do you have it?
00:56:03You are just an administrator.
00:56:06I am a shareholder.
00:56:08If anything were to happen, I don't think you can take the risk.
00:56:11So step aside.
00:56:26Found it.
00:56:33It turns out there was a problem with the project that collaborated with STM back then.
00:56:38My parents wanted to report the person in charge of embezzling the funds for the project,
00:56:44which led to their silence.
00:56:46Victor destroyed this footage from the scene
00:56:49and lured my mom to the site to make her look like the murderer.
00:56:52What a vicious method.
00:56:54Let go of me.
00:57:00Let go of me.
00:57:01Victor, what are you doing?
00:57:03I suspect there are suspicious individuals invading the records
00:57:07attempting to leak out STM's trade secrets.
00:57:12What?
00:57:14As one of the heirs, is there anything wrong with me reviewing the documents?
00:57:17Oh, but of course not.
00:57:19You can investigate as much as you want.
00:57:21That was talking about proof.
00:57:24Without proof, it's defamation.
00:57:27Why in such a hurry?
00:57:29It's just a routine interrogation, right?
00:57:32You're not guilty, are you?
00:57:34Afraid to cooperate with the law?
00:57:36I'm not afraid of anything.
00:57:39I hope you don't regret your actions.
00:57:41Officers, take her out of here.
00:57:46Call Ben. He'll know what to do.
00:57:51Evan, let's go.
00:57:55You know, I would consider that proposal I made on the phone.
00:57:58If you do, I may consider letting Caroline go.
00:58:03Get out of here.
00:58:10Get out of here.
00:58:14Victor is paying the police. We can't let him get away with this.
00:58:19We've got to find a way to get Caroline out of there.
00:58:24Caroline's been arrested. She needs your help.
00:58:26Let's meet up at E.M.
00:58:29Victor's definitely trying to pin everything on Caroline.
00:58:32What we need to do is gather all the evidence we can to prove Caroline's innocence and defend her in court.
00:58:37The only problem is, Victor doesn't leave a trace.
00:58:40Every crime leaves a trace, and Victor won't be an exception.
00:58:44Do you know the relationship between Robert and Caroline?
00:58:47We've been friends for years, but what's that got to do with proving Caroline's innocence?
00:58:50Well, when Elaine framed Caroline for the problematic evaluation report,
00:58:54they were dealing with an executive named Peter.
00:58:57What are you implying?
00:58:59Well, at the time, he and Elaine had a good relationship.
00:59:02Perhaps he could be the breakthrough.
00:59:06I'll call Robert and set up a meeting with you two.
00:59:13If it weren't for Caroline being in prison, I wouldn't consider meeting with you.
00:59:17Go ahead.
00:59:19What do you want to know?
00:59:20There's an executive in your company named Peter.
00:59:23Where is he?
00:59:25After what he and Elaine did, which severely affected the company's interests,
00:59:30I fired him, and he ended up in prison for robbery.
00:59:34Robbery?
00:59:36His mother is severely ill, and after leaving S-Group,
00:59:39he didn't have enough money to pay for his mother's illness.
00:59:42He took the wrong path.
00:59:48Once this is over, I'm planning on proposing to Caroline.
00:59:51I hope you won't stand in the way of that.
01:00:03What do you want with me?
01:00:05Do you know Victor?
01:00:07No. No, I don't know him.
01:00:09You're lying.
01:00:11You know, I know about your mother.
01:00:13Don't worry.
01:00:14I've arranged for the best cardiologist for her.
01:00:17She'll be fine.
01:00:19Alright. So what do you want from me?
01:00:21The trial is tomorrow.
01:00:23I want you to tell the judge everything you know.
01:00:25I'll vouch for you, get you bail, and then arrange a high-paying job for you.
01:00:34Alright. Fine.
01:00:36I'll do it.
01:00:45Caroline.
01:00:51Defendant, the plaintiff hereby declares that you have sold many company secrets.
01:00:57Do you plead guilty?
01:00:59I do not plead guilty, Your Honor. I did not do it.
01:01:02Do you have evidence to prove this?
01:01:04I was involved with the companies that are mentioned in the case,
01:01:09but I have not entered, internally, any of the client offices.
01:01:15How could I have leaked the secrets?
01:01:18When cooperating with EM, you were placed in the internal offices.
01:01:22Not long after, core research from EM's artificial intelligence project was leaked.
01:01:29As a former director of EM and as Victor's current employee,
01:01:34I have reason to suspect that you are the one who leaked the secrets.
01:01:40But I don't have the key to EM's database.
01:01:43You do.
01:01:45Yeah, I got it.
01:01:47Plus, I have video evidence showing you entering the database.
01:01:50So...
01:01:52Wait. Given this evidence is conclusive, I am now...
01:01:55Wait!
01:01:57We have another witness who can prove that Caroline did not release trade secrets.
01:02:04Where is this witness?
01:02:13My name is Peter Russell, and I can prove that Caroline has committed no crimes.
01:02:20What evidence do you have?
01:02:22Victor and Elena have threatened me and my mother to sabotage Caroline in the evaluation meetings.
01:02:31And I overheard Elena plotting to frame Caroline.
01:02:37And I have her home recording.
01:02:39What is this?
01:02:41This is AI! This is fake!
01:02:44Plus, he's a criminal! He can't be trusted!
01:02:46All videos presented in this court are original and have been tested for authenticity.
01:02:50I hereby declare the defendant is not guilty. Release her!
01:02:55Wonderful work!
01:02:57Caroline!
01:02:59Go to hell!
01:03:01Ben!
01:03:07Ben?
01:03:09Ben, stay with me! Ben!
01:03:13Ben!
01:03:14Ben!
01:03:19Ben!
01:03:22Ben!
01:03:24Ben! No! Ben!
01:03:27No!
01:03:30No!
01:03:40Ben, you are a hero.
01:03:45Uncle Ben, you are a good man. I'll see you in heaven.
01:03:54Ben, rest assured, your death will not be in vain.
01:04:00I will punish them with the law.
01:04:04Leo has already broken through the core problem of AI.
01:04:08It's time to let Victor taste the pain of losing a loved one.
01:04:12It's time to let Victor taste the pain of losing everything.
01:04:23The licensing should be done in about a week.
01:04:26One second.
01:04:28What's the matter? Why do you feel so flustered?
01:04:31John has enlisted the help of a master's in mathematical algorithms.
01:04:34He has already broken through to the key research and development of artificial intelligence.
01:04:37I mean, our stock price has plummeted to the critical point.
01:04:39And he's already here with the authorities to investigate the company.
01:04:42Thank God. I thought it was something serious.
01:04:44I already transferred all the funds. They won't be able to find anything.
01:04:47Well, they also found evidence of you murdering an employee to embezzle that project fund years ago.
01:04:52I'll call you right back.
01:04:54Boss, you should flee now.
01:04:57Did you do what I told you?
01:04:59The doctor's been paid. I mean, the files are ready.
01:05:10They must have gotten wind of it and fled early.
01:05:14He'll be caught soon.
01:05:18Hey, Doc. Do you have it?
01:05:23This is all I can do for you.
01:05:25If they find out, I could lose my job.
01:05:40Leo?
01:05:49Leo?
01:05:51Leo?
01:05:54He's not here.
01:06:01If you want Leo to live, come to the warehouse on the outskirts.
01:06:06What happened?
01:06:08Victor has taken Leo.
01:06:10What?
01:06:12Don't worry. I'll get him back.
01:06:15I'm coming with you.
01:06:19It's here.
01:06:21Let's do this.
01:06:24No! Leo!
01:06:26Hey!
01:06:29Victor, please.
01:06:32I'll do anything you want.
01:06:34I'll do anything you want.
01:06:36Don't hurt Leo.
01:06:38It's mesmerizing seeing you in pain.
01:06:41Victor, take it out on me.
01:06:43Don't hurt Leo.
01:06:45John, you were always better at everything since we were little kids.
01:06:50Even Elena likes you.
01:06:52Why?
01:06:55You have everything.
01:06:57And then at the end, I've got nothing?
01:07:00Victor, calm down.
01:07:01Calm down.
01:07:03Let's just talk this through.
01:07:05No, no, no. There's no going back.
01:07:08See, you made my life miserable.
01:07:10Now, it's my turn to make yours miserable.
01:07:14You can lose everything.
01:07:20It's my turn to make yours miserable.
01:07:22You can lose everything.
01:07:24Victor, Victor, please!
01:07:26Don't do anything impulsive.
01:07:28Elena is using you.
01:07:30She's exploiting your love.
01:07:32Victor, no.
01:07:34Victor, do you want the CEO position to STM?
01:07:37If you put down the gun, I will step down.
01:07:40Stop fucking lying to me!
01:07:42You think I'm going to believe your lies?
01:07:47I'm going to give you two choices.
01:07:49Shut up!
01:07:52Either you kill Caroline,
01:07:55or I'm going to kill your son.
01:07:58You only get to save one.
01:08:01What are you saying?
01:08:03My kid?
01:08:05You didn't know Leo was your son?
01:08:07How fucking pathetic is that?
01:08:09Caroline, is this true?
01:08:11Is he really my son?
01:08:13You've been deceived too, haven't you?
01:08:15It doesn't feel good, does it?
01:08:17To be the one who's the fool, now does it?
01:08:19Yes, yes, Leo is your son.
01:08:22Please, you have to choose Leo.
01:08:24Save him, he's too young.
01:08:26Please, no!
01:08:28Since you won't make a choice,
01:08:30I'll make it for you.
01:08:44Leo!
01:08:46Leo, are you alright?
01:08:52Come here, come here.
01:08:54John?
01:08:56John, are you okay?
01:09:04He's got too much blood.
01:09:06He's gone.
01:09:12He needs to go to a hospital.
01:09:14Now!
01:09:18He'll be fine.
01:09:20He's lucky.
01:09:21Oh, it's going to get rid of us.
01:09:23This is all my fault.
01:09:25If I hadn't asked for revenge,
01:09:27none of this would have happened.
01:09:29You can't blame yourself.
01:09:31You blame Victor.
01:09:36Who's the family of the patient?
01:09:38I am.
01:09:40The patient's in critical condition
01:09:42and needs a family member's signature immediately.
01:09:44I'll sign.
01:09:46We'll do our best.
01:09:51We were able to remove the bullet from the patient
01:09:53after he'd been moved to the general ward.
01:09:56Oh, thank you, Doctor.
01:10:07John.
01:10:13I hope to God that you wake up soon.
01:10:16Leo can't die.
01:10:17I hope to God that you wake up soon.
01:10:20Leo can't be with that father.
01:10:33You have to eat something.
01:10:35You can't eat anything all day.
01:10:37I can't eat.
01:10:39John hates eating like this.
01:10:41I'll wait for him to wake up.
01:10:43He's awake?
01:10:48John?
01:10:50John, you're awake!
01:10:53How's Leo?
01:10:55Oh, Leo.
01:10:57Leo's okay.
01:10:59He's a little bit scared,
01:11:01but it's nothing serious.
01:11:03I want to get you and Leo a home.
01:11:05Would you like that?
01:11:09I want to get you and Leo a home.
01:11:10I want to get you and Leo a home.
01:11:12Would you like that?
01:11:14John!
01:11:16John!
01:11:18I have fantastic news.
01:11:20Leo is your son.
01:11:22Here's the paternity papers.
01:11:24I already know that.
01:11:26You knew he was your son?
01:11:29How could you not tell me something so important?
01:11:33I just found out myself, Mom.
01:11:36Leo,
01:11:38let's give them some space, okay?
01:11:40Okay.
01:11:46You're okay, right?
01:11:50Well, since you now have a son,
01:11:53why not propose to his mother?
01:11:56I was going to propose until you barged in.
01:12:00Oh.
01:12:06I was going to propose until you barged in.
01:12:08Oh.
01:12:11Well, carry on.
01:12:19Rebecca, it's getting late.
01:12:21I'll take care of John for the night.
01:12:31Caroline,
01:12:33you still haven't answered my question from earlier.
01:12:35I can't.
01:12:37Why?
01:12:39You can see Leo all you want.
01:12:41That's your right.
01:12:44But I can't marry you.
01:12:46Did I do something wrong?
01:12:48If I did, just tell me and I can change.
01:12:51There are some things I can forgive.
01:12:54But there are others that I can never forget.
01:12:57John, we've...
01:12:59Mom, why would you accept Dad's proposal?
01:13:02Are you still mad at me?
01:13:03Leo.
01:13:05Are you still mad at him?
01:13:07Leo, this is an adult conversation.
01:13:10Mommy can handle this.
01:13:13Grandma will take you back home.
01:13:15Rebecca, do you mind taking Leo back?
01:13:20I need to have a serious talk with John.
01:13:31Ten years ago,
01:13:34I left for two reasons.
01:13:37The first reason
01:13:39was that I mistook your mother
01:13:41as the murderer of my parents.
01:13:45And the other reason...
01:13:47Why wouldn't you want to marry me?
01:13:50Your mother told me
01:13:52that Elena was your fiancé.
01:13:55I saw you and Elena in the bedroom together.
01:13:59I knew you had feelings for her.
01:14:02I've never slept with Elena.
01:14:04I've only ever been with you.
01:14:06But I saw the man in the bedroom.
01:14:08It was clearly you.
01:14:13I was planning your proposal
01:14:15at that time.
01:14:17See?
01:14:20Look.
01:14:22You must have seen Victor.
01:14:24He likes to impersonate me.
01:14:25So they've been plotting this
01:14:27since the beginning.
01:14:29I always thought it was you.
01:14:32So...
01:14:36Caroline,
01:14:39will you marry me now?
01:14:43Mom, just say yes.
01:14:44Mom, just say yes.
01:15:14Yes!
01:15:29Yes!
01:15:30Yes!
01:15:43Mom and Dad,
01:15:46Merry Christmas.
