00:00:00Okay, we have 45 minutes until our first client arrives.
00:00:10We need to get a move on.
00:00:11Chop, chop.
00:00:12Can you make sure that wine is decanted, please?
00:00:13It's our signature wine and always a favorite.
00:00:14Can we double check that there are no almonds in any of the recipes, please?
00:00:20Jack's client has a severe allergy.
00:00:23Oh, no.
00:00:29Let me handle this, madam.
00:00:30You've got old injuries on your wrist.
00:00:32It's fine.
00:00:33I spent ages working on this dessert.
00:00:34Oh, hello.
00:00:35Hello.
00:00:36God, this is disgusting.
00:00:37It looks like a poop emoji.
00:01:04Your standard is falling.
00:01:07Put your shit together.
00:01:08You've been married now for, what, six years?
00:01:11And you still dress like a maid.
00:01:12You haven't gleaned anything from our style.
00:01:13I never wanted you as a daughter-in-law in the first place.
00:01:19Jack's favorites.
00:01:20I bet you made them yourself, ma'am, because they're amazing.
00:01:25Where is Jack?
00:01:26She's a non-entity.
00:01:27How could she ever fit into our family?
00:01:33Anna is my wife now.
00:01:34Get used to her.
00:01:35I won't let anyone mistreat her.
00:01:36Not even you, Mother.
00:01:37This is our special day.
00:01:38I won't let her ruin it.
00:01:39You make me feel like the luckiest man alive.
00:01:40I'll always be yours.
00:02:07I never imagined that the person you swore to protect me would fall out of love with
00:02:12me.
00:02:21Jack!
00:02:32This is Sophie.
00:02:33She's a talented pianist, and she'll soon be teaching at the Central Music School.
00:02:38We're fortunate she's keen to elevate Lawrence's standing in the music world.
00:02:46Welcome home, Sophie.
00:02:48You look so radiant.
00:02:50And, Anna, you look so doughty.
00:02:56Don't you think so, Jack?
00:02:59This is a wonderful party.
00:03:02Thanks for the invite.
00:03:04You can put this in the cellar.
00:03:06It's rare.
00:03:09Oh, I love shrimp.
00:03:11Anna, would you be a dear and peel one for me?
00:03:14Captain's ruining my piano hands.
00:03:17Thank you, darling.
00:03:21Didn't you hear what Miss Sophie said?
00:03:24Remember, everything you have today is all thanks to us.
00:03:31Lawrence Wright, you're under arrest.
00:03:33Go and slip into something nice.
00:03:46Six years of marriage and humiliation for love?
00:03:51I don't recognize you anymore.
00:03:55You used to be a pianist, too, once.
00:03:58And a damn good one.
00:04:53Everyone says I'm lucky to marry into a rich family.
00:04:57Bullshit.
00:04:59No one even cares about what I want.
00:05:01I'm invisible.
00:05:03I have to host all of their grand parties, but I'm never introduced to the guests.
00:05:08And no one has even remembered that today is my birthday.
00:05:13Not even Jack.
00:05:21It's time for a change.
00:05:32Anna was just a street performer.
00:05:34No comparison to Sophie.
00:05:50Anna's gorgeous.
00:05:52Jack, you've been hiding her, huh?
00:05:59You wore that slutty dress on purpose, didn't you?
00:06:01I'm just following your orders, Jack.
00:06:04Robert seems to like it.
00:06:05Jack, come on.
00:06:07Anna ruined her hand and lost her career to save you.
00:06:12If it weren't for Jack, she'd be still stuck in that cheap apartment.
00:06:17You should be grateful.
00:06:19That accident actually saved your life.
00:06:22Your poor, lamentable life.
00:06:26Anna, you're disrupting the party.
00:06:29Apologize immediately to everyone.
00:06:32Be careful about your next move.
00:06:34Don't think that just because you saved me, I wouldn't consider divorcing you.
00:06:56And you didn't think I might consider divorcing you, Jack?
00:07:01Come on, Robert Moore.
00:07:19Bye-bye.
00:07:23Six years of a miserable marriage.
00:07:26I live only for me.
00:07:36The Santa's only been gone a day, and this whole place is falling apart.
00:07:41What's that damn marketing proposal I was working on?
00:07:53You have always forbidden us handling your business paperwork, sir.
00:07:56Miss Anna always handled that.
00:08:10Oh.
00:08:11Clean this up.
00:08:17It's time I did something about this.
00:08:21Freeze all of Anna's supplementary bank accounts.
00:08:26Let's see how long she can last without me.
00:08:29I've changed the rules.
00:08:30Clean this up.
00:08:34Where did you get all that money from?
00:08:37Did Jack give you a huge settlement?
00:08:39Don't forget, I used to be a pretty well-known pianist.
00:08:42Jack wouldn't part with a single cent.
00:08:44If you had that the whole time, why did you marry that jerk and take all that abuse?
00:08:50I was blind.
00:08:52I didn't love.
00:08:53At least I thought that I was.
00:08:55Not anymore.
00:08:57The money that I have may not be enough for a new house, but at least it's enough for a fresh start.
00:09:19She should have called me already.
00:09:49You couldn't stay away from me.
00:09:52I'm not going to forgive you that easily.
00:09:59Oh, Jack!
00:10:00What's wrong with you?
00:10:02It's not what you think.
00:10:03I was only going to cover you with a blanket.
00:10:06I'm sorry.
00:10:08I was overreacting.
00:10:11I'll get us some drinks.
00:10:29Hi.
00:10:30Piano lessons.
00:10:32Beautiful.
00:10:33Piano lessons with Anna.
00:10:35Piano lessons.
00:10:37Piano lessons.
00:10:40Aria's performance was amazing.
00:10:43That time in Vienna's Golden Hall, her solo performance turned it into a legend.
00:10:49Such a pity.
00:10:51She's been missing for six years.
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54I mean, no one really knows what she looks like or her real name.
00:10:57I mean, we've been doing this fan meet every year.
00:11:01Maybe she's here with us now.
00:11:32Sorry.
00:11:33Do I know you?
00:11:34Uh, no.
00:11:35I'm sorry.
00:11:36I thought you were someone that I knew.
00:11:37The ink hasn't even dried on your divorce papers with my brother and you're already
00:11:38getting wet for a new toy boy.
00:11:39You're Ethan, right?
00:11:40Professor McNeil's assistant.
00:11:41We met at my graduation.
00:11:42May I?
00:11:43You're Ethan.
00:11:44I'm Anna.
00:11:45I'm Anna.
00:11:46I'm Anna.
00:11:47I'm Anna.
00:11:48I'm Anna.
00:11:49I'm Anna.
00:11:50I'm Anna.
00:11:51I'm Anna.
00:11:52I'm Anna.
00:11:53I'm Anna.
00:11:54I'm Anna.
00:11:55I'm Anna.
00:11:56I'm Anna.
00:11:57I'm Anna.
00:11:58I'm Anna.
00:11:59I'm Anna.
00:12:00May I?
00:12:07You're a pianist.
00:12:09Professor McNeil is looking for a musician to help her with her research project.
00:12:16And scholarship.
00:12:17Would you be interested in an interview?
00:12:21Wait.
00:12:22I'm a graduate at the conservatory.
00:12:25You should consider me.
00:12:27Professor McNeil is the most accomplished pianist that I know.
00:12:32What do you say?
00:12:34I'd love to.
00:12:43Jack, that ungrateful bitch Anna must have seduced some teacher to get her an interview
00:12:49with Professor McNeil.
00:12:51I should be on that list too.
00:12:53Even if I have to kill somebody to do it.
00:12:58I should be on that list too.
00:13:23Don't worry.
00:13:24I'll introduce you to Professor McNeil.
00:13:26Wow.
00:13:27You're pathetic.
00:13:29And that outfit is grotesque, by the way.
00:13:32You think you can buy a spot at the conservatorium?
00:13:35You're ridiculous.
00:13:37It takes years of practice to do what we do.
00:13:40Don't let Anna upset you.
00:13:42She's just a floozy.
00:13:43And Ethan will find out soon enough.
00:13:45Besides, Professor McNeil is waiting for us.
00:13:48Anna.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:56Sorry, ladies.
00:13:58No entry without an invite.
00:14:00Do you know who I am?
00:14:02I'm calling my father.
00:14:04Could that be Aria?
00:14:05I heard she was coming back to study here.
00:14:07I don't think so.
00:14:08She's a wooden-headed idiot with no talent.
00:14:11She'll freeze up there.
00:14:16There's no one here worth considering.
00:14:19Why can't anyone be like her?
00:14:21I once had this student who was incredible.
00:14:24Born for music.
00:14:25I don't think I'm asking too much, am I?
00:14:28After her last performance six years ago,
00:14:31she just disappeared.
00:14:33Not a word, not a sign.
00:14:35You're talking about Aria, aren't you?
00:14:39Talent like her only comes around once in a lifetime.
00:14:44I'll never see another talent like that again.
00:14:47Your expectation is way too high.
00:14:52Professor, there's someone here I'd like you to meet.
00:15:09Really?
00:15:10Just like that?
00:15:12You have the audacity to walk in here after what you did?
00:15:17I'm so sorry.
00:15:19You abandoned the piano without a word.
00:15:22You abandoned me without even a thank you.
00:15:27I bet Anna pissed off Professor McNeil.
00:15:31I told you.
00:15:32There's no way she could be Aria.
00:15:34She's incapable of having a full, happy life.
00:15:37She's just a talentless divorcee striving to be famous.
00:15:41It's pitiful.
00:15:43I'm sorry.
00:15:49It's not that I didn't want to come and see you.
00:15:52Thank you for everything you did for me.
00:15:54It's just that...
00:15:56I couldn't.
00:16:09Where have you been for the last six years?
00:16:12Why did you vanish?
00:16:14I got injured and I couldn't see a way forward.
00:16:18I married a man, a billionaire.
00:16:21It was a huge mistake.
00:16:25That's all behind me now.
00:16:28I need to find myself again.
00:16:32Professor Music is all I have left.
00:16:36I can't lose that too.
00:16:39Please help me.
00:16:42Please give me one more chance.
00:16:46Alright.
00:16:48You're out of condition.
00:16:51Do you have what it takes to get back?
00:16:58I know a lot of great doctors.
00:17:00We'll make sure we heal your hand.
00:17:03I promise.
00:17:09Sophie has loans back.
00:17:11She's definitely going to get Professor McNeil to take her on as a student.
00:17:30Professor McNeil has decided to not take on any more students.
00:17:34This is all your fault.
00:17:36You malicious bitch.
00:17:38All you care about is yourself and your own miserable dreams.
00:17:43You're my worst nightmare.
00:17:47Don't you dare!
00:17:49My hand!
00:17:51How could you hurt her on purpose?
00:17:53Lauren's a pianist.
00:17:54Don't you know how important her hands are?
00:17:56Anna, I know you got scolded by Professor McNeil,
00:17:59but that doesn't mean your whole career is over.
00:18:01Why do you have to be so mean to Lauren?
00:18:03Anna, the artistic world isn't for you anymore.
00:18:06If you beg me now, I might take you for one,
00:18:09although I'm already having second thoughts.
00:18:11Save your imitation loveliness for someone who cares, Jack.
00:18:14I'm done talking to you.
00:18:16Oh, Anna, don't tell me you've stooped to selling your body to get ahead.
00:18:20Some parasites, living off their family's name,
00:18:24think that they can judge real artists.
00:18:28It's laughable.
00:18:33Hello?
00:18:36A full scholarship?
00:18:38I got it!
00:18:39I got it!
00:18:44You jealous bastard.
00:18:46Why can't you be happy for Anna, once?
00:18:51Come on, Anna.
00:18:52Let's go.
00:18:53No.
00:18:54No.
00:18:55No.
00:18:56No.
00:18:57No.
00:18:58No.
00:18:59No.
00:19:00No.
00:19:01No.
00:19:02Come on, Anna.
00:19:03I'll take you to your accommodation.
00:19:05You're a teaching assistant.
00:19:07Your wages are deplorable.
00:19:09What could you possibly offer Anna?
00:19:15You'll regret this.
00:19:18Aren't apartments usually unfurnished?
00:19:21Professor McNeil has arranged all of this for you.
00:19:24She hopes you'll settle in well.
00:19:31Oh, I'm so grateful.
00:19:48After you.
00:19:55Sir, is there anything else that we should provide for Miss Anna?
00:19:59I've already made the necessary arrangements.
00:20:11Mozart.
00:20:12Not a bad way to start.
00:20:14Thank you for everything you've done for me.
00:20:16You're welcome.
00:20:17I forgot to mention.
00:20:19I live just next door, so if you need anything at all, feel free to reach out.
00:20:24You do?
00:20:33My neighbor.
00:20:45Maybe I misjudged her.
00:20:55Be careful.
00:21:00Seriously?
00:21:01I'm so sorry.
00:21:02I was just trying to make lunch.
00:21:04You're hopeless.
00:21:05You have to work.
00:21:06You have to work.
00:21:07You have to work.
00:21:08You have to work.
00:21:09You have to work.
00:21:10You have to work.
00:21:11You have to work.
00:21:12You have to work.
00:21:14You have to learn how to be a better wife.
00:21:19Your hands were made for piano playing.
00:21:22They just came back from a run, and I remembered that your fridge had soda.
00:21:27I've run out in mine.
00:21:29You know, these are a good source of protein.
00:21:32How are you settling in?
00:21:34Very well, thank you.
00:21:38Is there anything I can do for you?
00:21:42I'm fine.
00:21:52I trust you'll be careful with that.
00:22:07Somebody call 911!
00:22:12Did you call Anna about my heatstroke?
00:22:15Sir, that wasn't heatstroke.
00:22:17You can lie if you like.
00:22:19Anna's a smart girl, though.
00:22:20She's going to work out that something more sinister was going on.
00:22:24And yes, I called her, but she didn't answer her phone.
00:22:36No, sir, sir, sir.
00:22:38Sit.
00:22:40Sit.
00:22:49Anna, I knew you still cared about me.
00:22:53I've been thinking about us a lot.
00:22:56I'm not mad at you anymore.
00:22:58Jack, what are you doing here?
00:23:01We're divorced now.
00:23:03I haven't thought about you in weeks.
00:23:05Get used to it.
00:23:09Get used to it.
00:23:18Anna!
00:23:27So it's taken a bit longer than expected, but there's still hope.
00:23:31With the right surgery, you'll make a full recovery.
00:23:35Thank you so much, Doctor.
00:23:46You've organized this top-tier specialist team for Anna.
00:23:49Why have you kept this information from her?
00:23:52Why?
00:23:54Because affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:23:57We often do things for the ones we truly care about that we wouldn't necessarily do.
00:24:02We often do things for the ones we truly care about that we wouldn't necessarily do.
00:24:32I love you.
00:25:02I love you.
00:25:23I think it might be love.
00:25:27I think it might be love.

00:27:13I think it might be love.
00:27:15I think it might be love.
00:27:17I think it might be love.
00:27:19Anna, don't go in there.
00:27:21I mean, what if Jack...
00:27:23I'm just getting the music sheets I left behind.
00:27:25Professor McNeil gave me this incredibly tight deadline.
00:27:27I can't... I can't miss it.
00:27:31I'll be quick.
00:27:49I knew you'd come back for me.
00:27:59I knew you'd come back for me.
00:28:01Away from me, Jack. We're done.
00:28:09What I have is not enough?
00:28:11You wanted to marry into this family?
00:28:13Stay here and all this is yours.
00:28:15You're sick.
00:28:17this is yours. You're sick. If you really loved me, you would accept my decision to
00:28:22leave you. You're being stalkerish. You consider me a stalker now? I was your husband.
00:28:30What if your hand never heals? Maybe then you'll need me again.
00:28:34Hey! Anna!
00:28:38You still hung up on her? I should have let her go.
00:29:05Jack, you're awake.
00:29:09Servants let you in? You don't remember? I never left.
00:29:18You were pretty drunk. You kind of hurt my arms.
00:29:27I'm sorry. I guess we got a little rough.
00:29:31Well, how about you make it up to me? Take me to a concert?
00:29:45Sure.
00:29:49Anna, you have to look your best tonight. This is definitely a date.
00:30:03Kate, it's not a date. We're just friends. Trust me. I can tell he's into you.
00:30:19So, Anna,
00:30:50you're really with Ethan now? Your taste is getting worse.
00:30:54Actually, her taste has improved since the divorce.
00:31:00Take me home, Ethan.
00:31:10Ethan, I'm so sorry for dragging you into my pointless emotional mess.
00:31:15No, forget about it, really. I wanted to help.
00:31:22Ethan, do you see us more than just friends?
00:31:26Sorry. Silly question.
00:31:56Why am I getting caught up in this pathetic love drama all over again?
00:32:11This is crazy.
00:32:26So,
00:32:56I want to enter this year's global piano competition.
00:33:08I think it'll help me find the self I once was.
00:33:13And I'll be right there to support you.
00:33:26So,
00:33:40your technique is not at its peak yet, but your emotional depth is on point.
00:33:47Seems like your marriage wasn't entirely a waste.
00:33:50Anna, you're going to be my last research student. I'm retiring.
00:34:10Professor, please give me a chance. I really want to be your student.
00:34:14Can't you make room for me too?
00:34:20And what are you doing here?
00:34:27Professor, don't let her fool you. She's not the rich, professional housewife anymore.
00:34:34Just a talentless freeloader.
00:34:37I'm different. My brother is the chairman of the Brown family.
00:34:42I could bring in steady sponsorship.
00:34:44You're out of line. Scholarships are won by talent.
00:34:47Money's easy to get. You can't buy talent.
00:34:51Professor, please take a breath.
00:34:55Leave. You're insulting the professor.
00:35:00What's all this commotion?
00:35:04As Aria, I will personally vouch for Lauren's talent.
00:35:08Professor MacNeil, I hope you'll accept her.
00:35:10Although, if you don't think she's up to your standard,
00:35:12I'm going to have to question your thought processes.
00:35:15How dare you? Your attitude and sense of entitlement is bewildering to me.
00:35:20Please leave my classroom.
00:35:23Professor, it's just adding one more student. Please don't turn her away.
00:35:28Well, I only take the most accomplished students.
00:35:32Well, in that case, let's make it a competition.
00:35:36And I'll take the winner as my final student.
00:35:40Isn't Aria Professor MacNeil's ex-student?
00:35:42I bet Lauren will win.
00:35:45Sounds great. We'll see you at the competition.
00:35:51Bye-bye.
00:36:02Ethan.
00:36:05You're unaware, aren't you? I'm Aria.
00:36:08I suggest you stop trying to help Anna.
00:36:10You know, with a few words I can have you fired.
00:36:13I'm sure that's true.
00:36:15So you understand the power of Aria, then.
00:36:23Stop helping Anna, and I can offer you a much more lucrative position.
00:36:30Stop pretending. Your pathetic little tricks aren't fooling anyone.
00:36:35Don't be so sure.
00:36:37I can't keep relying on others.
00:36:43I have to earn Aria back myself.
00:36:48Anything worth any merit is worth accomplishing on my own.
00:36:55I'll wait for you to confess, whether it's to me, or to Aria.
00:37:01I'll wait for you to confess, whether it's to me, or to Aria.
00:37:05Whether you're Aria or not, I'm here for you.
00:37:16Mom, if Jack hadn't divorced her,
00:37:18there's no way Anna would try to compete with me now.
00:37:21We can't let her win. Absolutely not.
00:37:26We need a plan.
00:37:28Anna Brown has the nerve to challenge me.
00:37:31It's incredulous to me that she even has the courage to try.
00:37:34She's gonna make a complete fool of herself.
00:37:37It takes years to be able to do what I do.
00:37:39I can't wait to see her fail.
00:37:41Nobody's better than Aria.
00:37:44So,
00:38:04this school doesn't need students like you.
00:38:08Go get your master somewhere else.
00:38:13Can someone explain to me what's going on here?
00:38:16Don't play innocent. Aria's exposed you on TV.
00:38:19Aren't you curious why the always secretive Aria suddenly exposed herself so publicly?
00:38:25You're just attention seeking.
00:38:27I believe in Anna's integrity.
00:38:29What are you doing here?
00:38:30Why are you still shutting me out? Why not call me? I'll handle this.
00:38:35Not everything can be solved with money and power, Jack.
00:38:39Isn't he the CEO of the Brown family?
00:38:42Oh my god, she did use her connections to get ahead.
00:38:50So she's playing both sides now.
00:38:52What about Ethan? It's not fair she gets to go here.
00:39:13So,
00:39:31what's this video supposed to prove, bitch? It could have been edited.
00:39:35Sorry, what?
00:39:38Why don't you play something right here, right now.
00:39:41Tomorrow is the competition. I'm not playing anything until then.
00:39:45I'm entitled to more rehearsal time.
00:39:49Ugly scar.
00:39:51Really? You've just noticed that now?
00:39:53I'm used to it. So is everyone that knows me.
00:39:57Aren't you scared? You must know that you won't succeed.
00:40:01Scared? What's there to be scared of?
00:40:04I actually got an interview. You got here on a bribe.
00:40:07You're an amateur.
00:40:08Oh really? How about this then? The loser drops out of school.
00:40:16You brought this on yourself, Anna. I'm sending you straight to hell.
00:40:21And divorcing my brother was a huge mistake.
00:40:26And challenging me was yours.
00:40:29Honey, just a few more hours and you'll never have to see that exasperating face again.
00:40:36Professor McNeil couldn't make it backstage herself.
00:40:39She didn't want to cause you any unnecessary trouble.
00:40:49Today, I don't want you to feel any less than perfect.
00:40:53I know that you're embarrassed by your scar, but it doesn't define you.
00:40:59When you perform, I want you to feel free and uninhibited.
00:41:22Don't forget it was Anna who started this whole rivalry with your sister.
00:41:37You need to pick a side.
00:41:40Anna's injury is because of me. The doctor said it's beyond healing.
00:41:46Laura, go easy on her. Let her lose gracefully.
00:41:50That's not how a fair competition works.
00:41:56Are you insane?
00:42:04Don't worry. I already secured the votes with the judges.
00:42:10She's walked right into my trap. Today's gonna be her ultimate downfall.
00:42:20As the rules state, the contestants will choose a piece on the list provided by the judges.
00:42:36Wait. Since the stakes are so high, I suggest a change to the format. A classic piano battle.
00:43:20So,
00:43:41was that it? I miss going to the art gallery for this?
00:43:49Oh, no. Lauren is losing. She's going to get kicked out of the school.
00:44:11Well, Anna, who knew she had it in her? She's even better than before her injury.
00:44:19It makes me want her back even more.
00:44:50And the winner is...
00:45:04She's breaking the rules. This duel doesn't count.
00:45:07Improvisation wasn't part of the competition. She's clearly trying to throw her opponent
00:45:12off rhythm. That's a violation. Disqualify her immediately.
00:45:16I disagree. Before Anna started improvising, Lauren had already lost her rhythm.
00:45:23Rules are rules. There's no room for interpretation.
00:45:31Speaking of the rules, Sophie, while you're the last person,
00:45:34you should be making a statement about that.
00:45:37Lauren bribed the judges. I believe that's the real violation. She should be disqualified,
00:45:50not Anna. I've decided Anna will be my final protege.
00:46:00I should have retired long ago, and I trust you'll continue to shine in your musical career.
00:46:07The arts aren't a solitary pursuit. You need to confront your challenges and accept
00:46:36get to help from those who choose to give it.
00:46:42Don't keep him waiting too long.
00:46:45Anna, despite the fact you tried to ruin my sister's life,
00:46:49I forgive you.
00:46:51Let's leave the past behind us and try again, okay?
00:46:53I love you.
00:46:58Jack, the past is the past.
00:47:01I'll never forget the way you treated me,
00:47:02from the constant belittling to the physical
00:47:05and verbal abuse from both you and your family.
00:47:07The fact that you never appreciated me
00:47:09or my musical accomplishments.
00:47:14I think I actually hate you.
00:47:16Don't think this win means anything, Anna.
00:47:35As long as I have a career,
00:47:36I'll beat you every chance I get.
00:47:39You can count on it.
00:47:40It's time to reclaim my title as Ariel.
00:47:55Is this a bit too much?
00:47:59I'm not used to wearing something this revealing.
00:48:02Anna, wow, you look incredible.
00:48:09Don't worry.
00:48:10Tonight, I'm your protector.
00:48:41You had Lauren bribe the judges, didn't you?
00:48:45The shares are crashing.
00:48:46Dad, I just wanted to win so badly.
00:48:48I needed to protect our family's honor.
00:48:49Oh, stop it, Sophie.
00:48:51Shareholders only care about results.
00:48:54And you've let me down.
00:48:58From now on, you're gonna cut all ties
00:49:00with Jack and his family.
00:49:01No.
00:49:02Yes, you will.
00:49:04And you'd better win this competition.
00:49:07The legacy of this family's not going
00:49:09to be tarnished any further.
00:49:22Did you use Professor McNeil's name to get me here?
00:49:25I knew this was the only way to get you to come.
00:49:28Anna, Sophie's family has immense power.
00:49:32This is beyond your creative ability.
00:49:35Listen to me.
00:49:37Let this competition go.
00:49:39I can arrange a concert tour, an album.
00:49:45I can arrange a concert tour, an album.
00:49:48I can arrange a concert tour, an album.
00:49:51Ms. Sophie, your arias technique is unparalleled.
00:49:54Ms. Sophie, your arias technique is unparalleled.
00:49:57It's impossible to replicate.
00:49:59It's impossible to replicate.
00:50:05Does Anna really think this is a battle of skills?
00:50:08I mean, the rules mean nothing
00:50:09in the face of my family's power.
00:50:11Controls this game.
00:50:17Jack, you don't control me anymore.
00:50:20I am not your property.
00:50:22I never was.
00:50:28Let's talk about the sponsorship.
00:50:30Here's your choice.
00:50:32Either you revoke Anna's application
00:50:34or my family will withdraw their financial support.
00:50:43The Luna family is fully backing this competition.
00:50:46We've secured a panel of top tier pianists
00:50:49in order to make sure the judging is fair.
00:50:54Luna's terms are way more reasonable.
00:50:56No one here disagrees, am I right?
00:51:00You can't be serious.
00:51:05Mr. Luna is incredible.
00:51:07The Luna family's generous contribution
00:51:09will really help Anna.
00:51:16So Ethan's from a wealthy family too?
00:51:19And he kept it from me.
00:51:24Why?
00:51:25Am I in some rich boy's game again?
00:51:28Always being looked down upon,
00:51:29living pitifully like an invisible person.
00:51:32Living pitifully like an invisible person
00:51:34in that kind of family.
00:51:36No, I'll never go back to that life again.
00:51:46No matter how hard she tries, poor thing,
00:51:49she'll never truly fit in with our family.
00:51:57Andy's my tutor too.
00:51:59This is a catastrophe.
00:52:03Sir, I can't wait to see Miss Anna's face.
00:52:06She'll be so overwhelmed.
00:52:11Anna?
00:52:15Anna?
00:52:33Any update?
00:52:35Sir, we can't find any record of Miss Anna.
00:52:37She must still be somewhere in the city.
00:52:53Good job.
00:52:54Anna, what is happening?
00:53:02Anna?
00:53:28Anna, your emotions are off.
00:53:30Again.
00:53:33Again.
00:53:42Worse than last time.
00:53:57Anna, control the tempo.
00:54:02Anna?
00:54:14Your mind is scattered.
00:54:16How do you expect to play perfectly
00:54:18when your heart is all beat?
00:54:21I don't want to do it anymore.
00:54:23I'm scared.
00:54:33Go home, Mr. Luna.
00:54:38We shouldn't see each other again.
00:54:43I didn't mean to hide my family from you.
00:54:46I moved away at a young age to follow my passion
00:54:49and not the Luna agenda.
00:54:52I didn't think it had anything to do with who I am
00:54:55or us.
00:54:57I wanted you to follow your passion.
00:55:01I wanted you to fall in love with me for who I am,
00:55:04not who my family is.
00:55:07I can't go back to those days of being hurt
00:55:10and looked down upon.
00:55:13I just want you to leave me alone when I can.
00:55:17Being born into wealth wasn't something that I could choose.
00:55:23I'm not Jack, Anna.
00:55:30I'm not Jack, Anna.
00:55:55The Luna family looks even more fierce than Jack's.
00:56:01I'm certainly not going to be a favorite of Ethan's mother.
00:56:05Welcome, sweetheart.
00:56:07We've so eagerly been waiting to meet you.
00:56:16I knew it.
00:56:18This family is just being polite.
00:56:21They don't want their son to be with a girl like me.
00:56:31I'm sorry.
00:56:43Anna, we've cut all ties with our long-term business partners.
00:56:48The Brown family?
00:56:51They were never our kind of people.
00:56:55Darling, you must try one of these.
00:56:57Ethan has said that you love them.
00:57:07How are you and Ethan?
00:57:09Are you well?
00:57:12Oh, we're...
00:57:15Ethan and I, we're...
00:57:17Our relationship isn't what you think.
00:57:19We're just friends.
00:57:21Oh, Anna, you must understand.
00:57:23With a womaniser like my son, he has to settle down sometime.
00:57:32Anna, come with me.
00:57:34I want to show you something.
00:57:51I love you.
00:58:09Ethan, that was you?
00:58:13Anna, your music inspired Ethan when he was suffering from depression.
00:58:17No matter what happens between you two,
00:58:20you will always be part of my family.
00:58:25Such a short-sighted family.
00:58:27How could they let a beautiful gem like you go unnoticed for so long?
00:58:32Promise me that you will never let family drama hold you back.
00:58:37You have so much talent.
00:58:39Don't waste it. Promise me.
00:58:42You deserve more.
00:58:51The Luna family just had a press conference.
00:58:53They're cutting ties with us.
00:58:56Our partners are pulling out, and the funding is about to dry up.
00:59:04Damn that Anna!
00:59:06How dare she seduce a man to get what she wants?
00:59:08Again!
00:59:10Jack, you're lucky to be rid of her.
00:59:12She's nothing but a goddamn whore.
00:59:16This is on me.
00:59:17You all pushed her away.
00:59:19Now get out!
00:59:20All of you!
00:59:38Here.
00:59:39This is all my savings.
00:59:41I want you to have it.
00:59:44I don't have much, but I want to contribute.
00:59:49Here.
01:00:19Here.
01:00:38Jack's favorite coffee.
01:00:39Colombian single origin.
01:00:44Grind should be medium fine.
01:00:50With a water to coffee ratio of 1.15.
01:01:02Brewed at 197 degrees Fahrenheit.
01:01:06For spring and fall business dinners, he prefers silk ties with subtle patterns.
01:01:11For summer outdoor events, a simple cotton twill tie works well with casual suits.
01:01:26What have I done?
01:01:30How could I have been so blind?
01:01:34I'm so stupid.
01:01:36How could I have been so blind?
01:01:40I took it for granted.
01:02:02I don't care how you do it,
01:02:04I'm going to spread a rumor that Anna hired a bunch of trolls to attack me online.
01:02:07I mean it.
01:02:09We're going to make her drop out of this competition.
01:02:11You'll see.
01:02:16What the hell's going on with all this online drama?
01:02:18You need to control the online narrative.
01:02:20Oh, we've tried.
01:02:22But the Lunar family is shielding Anna.
01:02:24Every move we make is being blocked.
01:02:27Now, you created this mess, you fix it.
01:02:31Fix it.
01:02:35Anna ruined your sister's career.
01:02:37Why are you still defending her?
01:02:39No, this whole mess started with Lauren.
01:02:42It weren't for you and her pushing her.
01:02:45Ungrateful idiot.
01:02:47I tried everything to help you.
01:02:49I risked my entire career to help your dumb sister.
01:02:52I thought eventually you might appreciate me.
01:02:57Sophie, I do.
01:02:59I appreciate what you've done for me.
01:03:01I do.
01:03:02I appreciate what you've done for me.
01:03:04Jack, will you help me just this once?
01:03:07Use the ground family resources and get those negative comments removed.
01:03:12Sophie, how did you get so selfish?
01:03:17Anna never asked for anything in return.
01:03:20She just gave and gave and we pushed her away.
01:03:24And we won't help you.
01:03:26Because Anna's suffered enough.
01:03:31Besides, the ground family's done.
01:03:35We're about to go bankrupt.
01:03:39Just forget about your precious Anna.
01:03:41She means nothing to us.
01:03:45We can't lose.
01:03:47We can't lose.
01:03:58Anna, I need a clear answer.
01:04:01Do you see a future for us?
01:04:09If I feel fireworks, I'm yours.
01:04:18If I feel fireworks, I'm yours.
01:04:22If I feel fireworks, I'm yours.
01:04:44Anna really gave in that easily?
01:04:48Maybe it was destiny.
01:04:50I planned the fireworks in advance.
01:04:52You wouldn't believe it, but in that moment, I felt like the luckiest man in the world.
01:04:57What a coincidence.
01:04:59Fireworks will melt a girl's heart every time.
01:05:03What about the brown family?
01:05:05How are you planning to deal with them?
01:05:08They haven't paid for what they did, yet.
01:05:12But I think now it's time they do.
01:05:15I'm in hell.
01:05:17Hey.
01:05:21No, that was Mom's.
01:05:27Sophie's so kind.
01:05:30What if I ask for her help?
01:05:32There's no way she'll say no.
01:05:45Sophie, please. I want to work for Professor McNeil.
01:05:49You promised I'd be the best pianist in your family.
01:06:08Even if you were some kind of genius, your reputation's already ruined.
01:06:12Sophie, we used to be best friends.
01:06:14Please help the brown family. We just want a small favor.
01:06:18You two are such self-seeking leeches.
01:06:21Get out of my house.
01:06:22Fuck you.
01:06:24Fuck you.
01:06:42Why is it so cold?
01:06:53The servants are gone.
01:06:55What?
01:06:58I realized that Sophie used me as a pawn to get to Jack.
01:07:05How could I be so stupid, Mom?
01:07:08I miss Anna.
01:07:12Me too.
01:07:21Your rhythm is perfect.
01:07:23A little too perfect, actually.
01:07:25I think you'd afford to relax.
01:07:27I think if you find the emotion in the piece, you'll connect to it a lot more.
01:07:31The penis touches me.
01:07:36If Anna were here, things wouldn't have went so wrong.
01:07:40There was a time our family almost went bankrupt,
01:07:43and she was there for us.
01:07:45She has always been there for us.
01:07:48Why did I trust that bitch Sophie?
01:07:52I hate to admit it, but I miss Anna too.
01:07:59Hey, I've already called the doctor.
01:08:02Don't worry. Your blood pressure results are completely normal.
01:08:06Oh, thank you, dear.
01:08:11Oh.
01:08:16We've got to get her back.
01:08:30Anna, I didn't know all the things that Sophie did to hurt you.
01:08:35I'm sorry.
01:08:37But I was a victim too.
01:08:39Our marriage was destroyed.
01:08:41Jack, you can't blame Sophie for everything.
01:08:44We don't really share the same values in life.
01:08:46You've always put me second to your business.
01:08:49You've never truly appreciated me.
01:08:51You're the reason we got divorced.
01:08:53Well, don't think Ethan is a saint.
01:08:55He's a looner.
01:08:56He's put the Brown family on the verge of bankruptcy.
01:08:59Open your eyes, Anna.
01:09:02He doesn't really love you.
01:09:04Stop it.
01:09:06Stop it.
01:09:07You need to start taking responsibility for your own failings.
01:09:10Fine.
01:09:12Even if I go bankrupt, I'll fight to get you back in my life.
01:09:16Leave me alone, Jack.
01:09:18Do I need to get a restraining order?
01:09:20Is what Jack said true?
01:09:35Are you really bankrupting their business?
01:09:37I'm going to tear down the privileges that they are most proud of.
01:09:42Ethan, can you please leave Jack's family to their own fate?
01:09:50You still have feelings for him, don't you?
01:09:58We were married for six years.
01:10:00Of course there's still going to be some residual feelings there.
01:10:04But it's not what you think.
01:10:06I don't care about him anymore.
01:10:19Be careful.
01:10:49When Chopin was 19, he fell in love with a classmate.
01:11:12His first love.
01:11:14But he was too shy to confess.
01:11:17So he poured all of his emotions into this piece.
01:11:22If ever I was to confess to someone, this is the piece I'd choose.
01:11:38I've started my new life.
01:11:40I've moved on.
01:11:43People in my past will have to figure out their own lives.
01:11:49I guess I'm just jealous of the past you had with him.
01:12:01I wish I'd known that confident 20-year-old you.
01:12:06Ethan, I'm 26, not 60.
01:12:10Age is just a number.
01:12:16You have my present and my future.
01:12:40Professor.
01:13:02How come Anna's competition piece is the same as Sophie's?
01:13:11Sophie is just trying to distract you.
01:13:13She's a snake.
01:13:16Then I'll change my piece.
01:13:18Catch her off guard.
01:13:20But isn't that risky?
01:13:21Time is precious.
01:13:23Switching at the last minute?
01:13:25Professor, please trust me.
01:13:55What's going on?
01:14:03Is this some magic trick arranged by the organizers?
01:14:10You're not as calm as you pretend.
01:14:12Too bad.
01:14:14This won't shake the fact that I'm Aria in everyone's eyes, and not you.
01:14:45Applause.
01:15:08Applause.
01:15:36Aria's performance is just dynamic and precise.
01:16:06Impossible.
01:16:07How can anyone mimic it so perfectly?
01:16:11Unless she is Aria.
01:16:35Applause.
01:17:03Applause.
01:17:18It can't possibly be Aria.
01:17:25Aria cannot be replicated.
01:17:27You must have had someone else play it for you.
01:17:32Oh my god, it's Anna!
01:17:34She is the real Aria!
01:17:40I am Aria, yes.
01:17:43I wrote this piece in the last few months.
01:17:45It's a reflection of my life over the past six years.
01:17:48From being downtrodden, rejected, and betrayed.
01:17:53It was writing that healed me.
01:17:55I hope my music has moved you in the way that I intended.
01:17:59Let us all stay true to ourselves and be the masters of our own destiny.
01:18:05Applause.
01:18:16You knew Aria's true identity, didn't you?
01:18:19So you took Anna's side of it, desperate to win her ex-husband's heart.
01:18:24How dare you open to deceive the public?
01:18:27You really think your family's influence can shield you?
01:18:30How much clout do you think the Loomis family has?
01:18:40Anna, please forgive us.
01:18:45I'm ashamed of myself.
01:18:47I wasn't there for you when you needed me.
01:18:50I am responsible for your loss.
01:18:55I wasn't asked.
01:18:57It's all my fault.
01:18:59I mistook you, a precious gem, for something far less.
01:19:03Please, for the sake of our past, give us a chance to make things right.
01:19:09Come back.
01:19:11Anna, I was manipulated into hurting you.
01:19:15If I had trusted you more, now I can see it clearly.
01:19:19You were the one who was always there for us.
01:19:25These hardships have helped me to grow, both mentally and physically.
01:19:30I no longer need your approval or your apology.
01:19:35I wish you well, but we will no longer be in each other's lives.
01:19:54There you are.
01:19:57I've been doing a lot of thinking and...
01:20:02I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:20:09Will you marry me?
01:20:24Will you marry me?
01:20:26Will you marry me?
01:20:50Anna, are you ready to begin the rest of our lives?
01:20:56Yes.
01:21:26I love you.
01:21:56I love you.
01:22:26I love you.
01:22:56I love you.
01:23:26I love you.
