00:00♪♪
00:01I need you to know something.
00:03♪♪
00:05What happened before...
00:08the girl who did that, I don't even recognize.
00:11The story totally revolves around Sophie,
00:14and we've always said that she's the investigator,
00:16but she's also the investigation.
00:18Like, who was she, really?
00:20When we first meet Sophie,
00:21she's in quite a vulnerable state.
00:24She's had to be placed under a conservatorship
00:28by her husband, James.
00:29She's trying to do the right thing.
00:31I know, but I'm better now.
00:33James hasn't said an awful lot about the accident to her.
00:37For him, it's a chance
00:39for their whole relationship to start fresh.
00:42To have a lead character who really doesn't know who she is
00:45and who really has to go on the journey of rediscovery,
00:48it makes her incredibly easy to identify with.
00:50Sophie appears to be this very demure,
00:53traditional, good wife,
00:54but something about that rings hollow to her
00:57from the beginning.
00:58Stepping into the outside world
01:00raises more questions than answers
01:02in terms of what she's been led to believe her life was.
01:06Sophie.
01:07I'm sorry, do I know you?
01:09We need to talk.
01:11To be stripped of the pieces of your past
01:13that make you who you are,
01:14and then to be told who you are by people around you,
01:17that becomes really interesting.
01:19Sophie's an incredibly complex, compelling character,
01:23and what unfolds in this show
01:24is unlike anything audiences have seen before.
01:28Action.
01:29Tell me who you are, right now.
01:32Gugu is a spectacular actress,
01:34and in this role, she has a challenge
01:36of not just being the Sophie that we meet in the pilot,
01:39but being all the different versions of Sophie.
01:42Gugu plays the character in such an engaging way.
01:44The character's so sympathetic
01:46because in a very sort of real way,
01:48it pulls apart what happens
01:50if you're not who you really are.
01:52There are depths to her that will go places
01:54that I think are really gonna surprise people.
01:57People are going to be really asking the question,
01:59what would you do in Sophie's situation
02:01if you really didn't know any of your own secrets?
02:04I hope people really enjoy the ride.
