Original subtitles

Daniel, you may place the ring on Emily's finger.

Mom!

Sweetheart.

You've got the wrong person.

No, I don't.

You just forgot us again.

Hey, sweetheart.

You shouldn't be here.

Move.

She's marrying me today.

Not anymore.

That's impossible.

The first time you forgot we were married, you said the same thing.

If she's really my wife, then how are you standing here about to marry me?

After the fire three years ago, Vera disappeared. The court later declared

her dead. So, legally, you've been dead for three years? Yes. You knew who she

was this whole time?

Mom.

She called me mom.

And for three years, you never told me I had a daughter?

Look at this first.

We really used to live together?

You told me stories every night.

When it thundered, I slept between you two.

And your cooking was really bad.

I just never had the guts to tell you before.

It's too chaotic in here. Let her rest in the room next door for a minute.

No.

Emily, I was just... She just called me mom at my own wedding.

Until I know what the hell is going on, nobody takes her anywhere alone.

Vera?

That's her.

She was at the fire that night.

The police tried to question her afterward.

No verifiable birth record, no continuous identity history, and there

are photos from decades ago with a woman who looks exactly like her.

What are you?

Why are my memories gone?

Because of me. You forgot me because of what I did.

You're admitting it?

Yes.

Why? Because if I hadn't done it that night, you would have died.

You admit you mess with my memory, and you hid my wife and my daughter from me.

So from now on, I trust each of you exactly halfway.

Mom!

You gave me this a long time ago.

What is it open?

Our home.

I'm going alone.

No one's lived there in three years.

Good. At least the apartment won't tell me who I'm supposed to believe.

What about Lily?

I'll take her to Grace.

Who's Grace?

Grandma Grace. She's taking care of me forever.

She's human, and right now she's the one person I trust completely. Keep Lily

safe first.

If you're watching this,

it means I've probably forgotten again.

First thing, Don't be afraid of Vera.

Second thing, don't trust Daniel Cross.

Emily, I had this place sealed after the fire. The second that lock opens, I get

an alert. So you didn't come here for me. You came because you were afraid I'd

find this. Emily, give me the phone.

That video doesn't prove I'm the bad guy.

Funny, I never told you what the video said.

So you did know about this phone. I was the one who sealed this place after you

got out of the hospital three years ago. Why? Because back then you were

terrified to come back here. And the old you left more than one version of the

truth.

Keep Vera away from Lily.

Please. You said both of those things.

Yes. I hid parts of your past. I admit that. Why?

After you woke up, any mention of the fire or Vera sent you into a breakdown.

At first, I honestly thought keeping it from you was protecting you. At first?

Where's Lily?

What?

Oh!

Get back.

How did you get here so fast?

I got the same alert when you opened the apartment.

Emily.

What are you?

You used to know.

And you were never afraid of me.

You're a vampire?

Yes.

Is Lily one too?

No.

Wait, don't chase him.

He was asking about Lily.

I'm calling the police.

Regular cops have no idea what they just saw. So we're supposed to just trust you

again? Enough!

We find Lily first. You can explain the rest on the way. I can get you security.

Tonight I'm not going anywhere with someone who's been lying to me.

You drive.

Because right now, you're the only one who knows where Grace is.

Why did I forget you?

My blood can pull someone back when they're close to death.

But the price is that they lose part of their memory of me.

How much?

The worse the injury, the more they lose.

So three years ago... Three years ago, I only had one choice.

Let you remember me, or let you live. So I forgot you completely.

Almost.

What about you?

Every time you saved me, What did it cost you?

I don't forget anything.

The first time you forgot how we met, then you got scared of me. The last

time, you forgot who I was at all. Every single time, I remember.

Grace?

Grace!

She's breathing.

Lily?

They took her.

Why me?

You know that symbol. Why is everyone after a seven-year-old girl? Because

Lily wasn't chosen at random.

Before they took Lily, they kept asking me one thing. Seven years ago, after you

took her from St. Agnes, where did you hide what was left? Me?

They actually said St. Agnes?

What is St. Agnes? An abandoned church.

It's also where I first saw Lily.

We found her together?

No.

It was you first found her.

You said Lily wasn't chosen at random. What does that mean?

The night she was born, people from three vampire families died.

Because of Lily? I don't know.

That's the answer I've been looking for for seven years. Why was I there? I

don't know.

Seven years ago, you called me out of nowhere in the middle of the night

around 3 a.m. and told me to get to St. Agnes. Emily, what happened?

Don't ask.

Just get us out of here. You never tried to find out who she was?

We did.

No normal birth record, no mother on file, not even a missing infant report.

Then what did Grace mean by what was left?

I don't know either.

You can't go in there alone.

They asked for one person.

They asked to see one person walk in.

You stay outside.

You don't come in unless I give you the signal.

What signal?

If I say, Lily, close your eyes.

Mom!

Stop.

Seven years ago, you took that baby out of here.

But you still hid one thing inside.

Now, bring it out.

Open the door.

What's in there?

Something you yourself concealed.

You know best what it is.

I don't remember.

I really have opened this before.

Keep going.

You can't kill me.

You went through all of this for a reason. This isn't about Lily.

It's because I'm the only one who can open that door.

Lily, close your eyes.

Is Lily okay?

The man who kidnapped Lily, why was he wearing your family's symbol?

The man who kidnapped my daughter, why was he wearing something from the Cross

family?

Because it does belong to the Cross Foundation.

But it's not our family's private crest. It's an old foundation mark.

Researchers, security staff, partner programs, they all used it. So it is

connected to your family?

It's connected to the Foundation.

It does not automatically point to me.

My mother has run the Cross Foundation for years. They did rare disease

research early on. Just disease research?

That's all I know. Then you don't know enough. Starting night, if either of you

gives me half the truth, I'm going to assume the other half is worse.

Grace has to remain under observation at the hospital.

Her home is compromised.

You can't return there. Come stay at my backup apartment.

Lily stays with me tonight.

Mom, Emily?

Momvera?

Your turn.

Taris?

You bit me?

I did.

Once.

Only once.

And it was you who begged me to do it.

I asked a vampire to bite me?

It wasn't for you.

Then who was it for?

Normal wounds heal.

Silver wounds don't.

That time I was badly hurt. You knew human blood could help me recover.

So I let you drink mine?

I said no.

Then what exactly happened?

You yelled at me.

No. You saved me. Now it's my turn. Vera Kane, if you die, I will never forgive

you.

Did I really love you that much? I can tell you how you felt back then.

But now, whether you love me or not, I have no right to answer for you.

But I will not leverage our shared past to pressure you into loving me again.

Seven years ago, you asked me to keep something safe for you.

What? You said if you ever forgot again, I should return this to you.

Everyone keeps saying I found Lily at the church two days later.

Then why two days before that?

Cross Foundation already designated me to receive her. Because you didn't pick

her up at St. Agnes.

You were taking her away from the Cross Foundation.

Why would the Cross Foundation hand an infant over to me?

Because back then you worked there.

Seven years ago you volunteered in the Cross Foundation archives for six

months. I was a nurse at one of their partner clinics.

So we already knew each other?

You handled anonymous pediatric files. In your last month there you started

asking some very strange questions. What kind of questions?

Kids with no birth records, anonymous blood samples, and why certain pediatric

files were never allowed into the hospital system. You never told me any

of this. She didn't tell anyone.

By then, she didn't trust anybody.

What are you drawing?

Where did you see this?

In their car.

Take L-17 back to the SA project.

L-17,

SA project, what is this?

You know.

SA stands for St. Agnes.

St. Agnes project?

That can't be possible.

Why not?

Because my whole life, my mother told me St. Agnes Project never existed.

Grace can't continue caring for Lily right now. Until an emergency temporary

placement is approved, Lily cannot leave hospital services for the time being.

I'm her mother.

Your parental rights were never terminated.

But before the fire three years ago, you and Vera signed a standby guardianship

agreement.

Three years ago, you were critically injured and suffered severe memory loss.

Vera disappeared and was later declared legally dead.

That's when the standby guardianship automatically took effect.

I never signed any giving up custody after losing my memory. This was my old

self's hidden backup plan, made long before I forgot everything.

So after I woke up, I didn't sign Lily over to Grace again? No. You didn't even

know who she was. The court simply continued the standby arrangement you

and Vera had already put in place before the fire. They never forced you to sign

new paperwork.

I woke up with no memory at all.

I didn't even know I had a daughter.

That's my handwriting.

It is.

Emily, Daniel told me what happened to Lily.

How's Grace?

You know Grace?

From years ago.

She worked with the Cross Foundation.

I've arranged all of Grace's follow-up medical care. No need to thank me.

She was just abducted once. The last thing she needs now is another room full

of adults bombarding her with questions.

Stain Agnes Project?

What was it?

A research program that should have been shut down more than 20 years ago. Then

why was Daniel Reyes believing it never existed?

Because sometimes, after a program ends, the safest choice is to make sure the

next generation never learns it existed.

Seven years ago, I loved you, I married you, I raised Lily with you. Then three

years ago, why did I write this warning myself?

Who exactly was I trying to protect?

According to the legal record, Vera Kane has been dead for three years.

Emily Moore's parental rights were never terminated, and there is currently no

evidence that she posed a risk to the child. But your situation is different.

Your death declaration is still in effect. Your birth records can't be

verified, and your social security history has major gaps.

I know.

Until your identity restoration process is complete, this court cannot recognize

you as a legal co-custodial parent.

But she is my mom!

Lily will be temporarily returned to Emily's custody.

Full custodial reevaluation will be conducted once Grace fully recovers.

Pending complete identity verification, Vera is prohibited from unsupervised

contact with the minor. All visits must be supervised by Emily or a court

-appointed adult. This is a temporary safety measure, not a punitive ruling.

I have an empty apartment downtown with full security.

If you're worried your current address is compromised, you can stay there for

now. Why are you helping me? Because Daniel loves you. But whether Daniel is

involved or not, one truth still holds. This child has already suffered enough

from all these adult secrets. Thank you.

But I want to take her somewhere that truly feels like mine. All right.

I'll honor your choice.

But if you want the truth about St. Agnes, I'll pull all the surviving old

files for you.

You're not coming with us?

Not today.

You used to say you'd be back soon, too.

You told me you're a vampire.

But you never told me how many years have you actually lived.

How long have you been out here?

The court said you can't be alone with Lily. It didn't force you to stand

outside my building all night long. I refuse to step inside without

permission. So that makes everything okay?

I only wanted to make sure the lights would turn on safely inside your

apartment this morning.

Mom, Vera!

I saved you breakfast!

I kept my word.

These are all surviving St. Agnes records we can retrieve from seven years

back.

I brought everything we have available.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you what to make of it.

You judge for yourself.

That's awfully convenient.

This is genuinely my first time seeing most of these documents, too.

Vera mentioned this. I called her at around 3 a.m.

Vera told me she didn't arrive at St. Agnes until after I called her.

Then you need to ask her directly.

I've made too many mistakes speaking for other people.

This time, let her answer for herself.

12.47 a.m., you were already inside St. Agnes.

But you said I called you around 3 in the morning.

When did you actually first lay eyes on Lily?

Okay.

This time, no more half-truths.

I was there.

So you lied to me.

I left critical parts out of the story.

You all seem to love that word.

Three young pampires disappeared one after another. I tracked their trail all

the way to St. Agnes. The Cross Foundation?

I still didn't know who stood behind everything back then. What exactly did

you witness inside?

Empty patient rooms, traces of blood, medical equipment that had been

violently ripped out, and a basement section I could not get into. What about

Lily? No. I went in shortly after midnight and left around two, but you

called me after three.

The very first time I actually saw Lily, she was already in your arms.

Then why didn't you ever tell me any of this?

Because you had already lost your memories of me.

I did not wish to drag you back into the vampire-related world all over again. So

you simply made that choice for me.

Daniel decided what parts of my past I was allowed to know. You decided what

information I was permitted to hear, and both of you kept calling it protection.

Did any one of you ever stop and simply ask what I myself actually wanted? No.

I was terrified of losing you. I once believed as long as you stayed alive,

everything else would not matter. I finally understand now. Being alive is

not nearly everything.

I'm going back to St. Agnes.

Now? I need to know what my past self hid there.

What about Lily? First, we make absolutely certain she is safe.

Stay with Grace tonight, okay?

With Mom Vera?

Yes.

Then don't forget her again.

She's in your care with the social worker posted nearby. I've got her. Go

do what you need to do.

I remember.

It's true. I'm the one who told you to leave Lily. Tell me, why was I so afraid

of you being around Lily?

Don't touch her blood!

Where's Lily?

Grace has her.

Don't let Vera near Lily.

Not right now.

Please. I wasn't scared you were going to hurt Lily.

I was terrified that her blood would kill you.

Even a tiny amount of direct contact can temporarily shut down our supernatural

abilities. If it enters the bloodstream in sufficient quantity... Human-like

responses start to kick in. Body temperature rises, heartbeat returns,

rapid healing stops functioning entirely.

What would happen if there was a larger exposure?

The body might not survive it. It could kill us outright.

The night Lily was born, three vampire family members died.

Was it exposure to her blood? All three of them came into contact with blood

samples matching Lily's source.

But I never got hold of the full story behind those deaths.

Who supplied those blood samples to them in the first place?

That is what I have spent seven years trying to uncover.

So the old me was never forced to pick between the two of you.

She was simply trying to find a way for both of you to stay alive.

Wait a minute. The Cross Foundation assigned Lily this number the very day

she was born, which means they already knew her blood posed a threat to

vampires. Then St. Aegis was never built for treating those children at all.

Emily Moore is starting to recover her St. Agnes memories.

So we can't wait any longer.

What if I never remember what it felt like to love you?

Then don't.

A marriage certificate only proves we were married.

Photos only prove what happened before.

They cannot tell you who you should love right now.

So you don't want me to get my memories back?

I do.

Because that is your life.

Not because I wish to rely on old memories to make me your wife again.

You don't take sugar?

Never have.

I don't remember that.

Maybe your hands remember.

Or maybe I just watched you drink it that way yesterday.

What kind of music do you like? Favorite movie?

Biggest pet peeve? What scares you most?

Is this an interrogation?

Pre-date background check. I know you're a vampire.

I know you've lived a long time.

I know you saved my life.

But I do not know the Vera who is standing in my kitchen right now.

You want to get to know me again? Yeah. Not my former wife. Not Lily's other

mom. Just you.

So you two are dating again?

Lily.

What? You were the one who chased her the first time.

Then let's make it fair this time.

What does that mean?

Tomorrow. Seven o'clock.

Dinner's on me.

Not to commemorate the past.

This is my first.

Child Protective Services has approved Grace to continue as Lily's temporary

backup caregiver.

I'm staying at Grace's tonight. Don't come home at eight.

Why not?

Because that would make it look like you don't like her.

When you first asked me out?

Did I say yes?

No. Good.

Nice to know the old me had standards.

I don't want to copy her.

Who? The old Emily.

If I fall for you tonight, I want to be certain it is the me of right now who is

falling.

What do you hate most?

Hospitals.

Because of the blood?

Because every time the person I love most ends up in one, I lose something.

Ask me something else.

What scares you most?

That's even worse.

Tell me.

Becoming someone you need to run from again.

Emily, look at me.

This is now. You're in a restaurant.

Lily's with Grace. You're safe.

When I used to get scared, did you do this too?

No. What did you do?

I held you.

Why didn't you just now?

Because the you of right now had not said you could. I should head back.

Vera, I really liked you tonight. Tonight, not seven years ago.

Good night.

I'm asking one last time. Do you still want to marry me?

No.

Because of Vera?

No.

Because of you.

Even if Vera had never existed, I still couldn't marry someone who thinks he

gets to decide what I deserve to know.

You knew about Lily.

You knew Vera might be alive.

You knew I had an entire life I couldn't remember. And for three years, you told

me none of it.

You couldn't handle it back then.

So you just kept handling my life for me?

At first, I really did think I was protecting you.

And later?

Later, I fell in love with the Emily who only trusted me.

I became too afraid to show you the whole truth after that.

You didn't save me from my past.

You just edited my life.

You filed these?

No.

I did ask my mother to help arrange your medical care.

But these applications?

Someone used my internal foundation account, filed them under my name, and

got everyone approved.

Who could do that?

I'm gonna find out

Where's

Lily?

At Grace's Daniel and I are over

Are you okay?

That's it?

You just ended a relationship that was supposed to end in marriage I don't

think that's something to celebrate

Lily has a whole box of new ones.

I know.

Did the old me give her this one?

Yes.

So you can't bring yourself to throw it away?

Because Lily still likes it?

Why?

Don't.

Why?

Don't make yourself love me now just because the old you did. I didn't

remember anything just now.

No old dates, no wedding, no first kiss. Right now, I just wanted to kiss you.

Vera, can I kiss you now?

Did you kiss Vera yesterday?

Who told you that?

Nobody.

You've been smiling all morning.

Adults are exhausting.

About last night?

I don't regret it.

But don't get the wrong idea.

About what?

I'm not ready to be your wife again.

I'm only deciding whether I want to keep dating you.

Then I'll work hard to pass probation.

We'll see.

Someone used my internal account to file medical, housing, and risk management

requests for Emily after the fire. She needed help.

That is not what I asked.

Why did they use my identity?

Who's VK?

This record is three years old.

L17 is Lily, VK is Vera.

You told me St. Agnes Project never existed.

But three years ago, the Foundation already knew Lily and Vera couldn't have

direct blood contact.

Then I have one last question.

If the St. Agnes Project was supposedly destroyed years ago, where did you get

these three-year-old safety records from?

You said St. Agnes was gone. Then where did this three-year-old record come

from?

Because St. Agnes never truly shut down.

What does that mean? The physical building closed.

Human research was ordered to stop.

But not every incident report, sample, or safety record was destroyed.

Then why did you raise me to believe it never existed?

Because I didn't want you anywhere near it.

More protection?

What is the L-tans for?

Liminal.

Liminal? Between two biological states.

In rare cases, certain human blood can temporarily suppress some of a vampire's

immortal traits.

Seventeen. So there were sixteen before her?

At least sixteen records.

Sixteen people?

I said records.

Not everyone attached to those numbers survived.

She had a number the day she was born, which means they didn't discover she was

special later.

They were monitoring Hannah the whole time.

H. Reid?

You know her?

Not me.

You did.

Seven years ago, you asked me to look into that name.

Open it.

Are you sure?

Whatever's in there I get to decide whether I see it

I

had all of this ready before I ever rescued her

This isn't a diagnostic test.

A newborn couldn't survive that much.

So the old me knew.

If this collection began, Lily might not live.

I even planned for what happened if I failed.

That sounds like you.

Was I always this reckless?

Worse.

If anyone ever hears this, please, don't let them touch my daughter.

I really did take her?

Keep going.

I didn't call you until 12 minutes later. She is not L-17.

Her name is Lily.

They said her blood was important, that she could save a lot of people, but they

kept taking more and more of it.

Every time, they said it was just one more test. I don't know what they really

want. I only know I have to get her out.

This belonged to Hannah.

You knew her? I took care of her. Seven years ago. I was a nurse at the clinic

partnered with the Ross Foundation.

Hannah was placed into their medical system while she was pregnant.

Back then, Emily was in charge of organizing anonymous case files.

You were the one who noticed first.

Her paper records didn't match the digital logs at all.

So that's how I found you? You crossed the line with your questions.

What happened next?

At first, I told you nothing.

Until I learned they planned to transfer Hannah and the baby over to St. Agnes.

Cheers. Then I arranged for you one secret meeting with her.

Why did Lily end up with that kind of blood?

Hannah was attacked by a vampire while pregnant.

Venom altered her body.

Doctors gave experimental blood treatment trying to save her. Did it

work? Temporarily for Hannah, but treatment crossed the placenta. Lily was

exposed too. Newborn screening showed her blood could suppress vampire

abilities. That's why she became L17.

They didn't create the condition.

They only discovered it existed and decided the child belonged to their

project. They told me she could save so many people.

But not one of them ever asked whether she wanted to.

If you're still willing to help me, save my daughter first.

The old me was completely insane.

Yes. That's around when I fell completely in love with you. Because I

falsified a child transfer? I've always had terrible taste in women. Lily, that

was the name your birth mother gave you.

Is she dead?

Is it because of me? Mom Vera gets hurt. Other people die. My birth mom died too.

Does everyone get hurt whenever I bleed?

Mom Vera, don't!

Lily, it's just a tiny cut.

But you get sick.

All of you get hurt because of me.

Can you hear me?

Yeah. Then that's enough.

Your blood being different doesn't mean you did something wrong.

But it hurts you.

So does silver. So does fire.

That is a terrible comparison.

Living for a hundred years doesn't mean I'm good with kids.

Liar. You used to comfort me every day.

Baby, your blood isn't what did something wrong.

It's those people who thought they had the right to take it from you.

You don't owe anybody anything.

You do not have to let anyone touch your body just to save other people.

What are you?

Close the door.

I used to be like Vera.

A vampire?

Yes.

The earliest L-series could not fully turn a vampire human. It only damaged

parts of our immortal have theology.

What did it turn you into?

I gained a heartbeat, normal body temperature, age like ordinary humans,

and I could bear children.

What about me?

Completely human.

You carry no vampire traits.

You don't require L-series treatments.

What happens if you stop receiving L-series?

My organs start failing.

Circulation shuts down.

And then I die.

Wait, what?

They already drew Lily's blood once, shortly after she was born.

Was that for the final collection?

No. Just newborn screen baseline volume.

To confirm she qualified as an L-series subject?

Yes. And they split that sample. One archive copy stored centrally, multiple

research Alcians preserved.

This is all that's left.

I do not have much time remaining.

Seven years.

It comes full circle.

Two adults, one minor target.

We move once the lights go low.

Lock your bedroom door if you hear anything strange.

Call out immediately.

I remember.

We have company outside.

Get Lily to the back room.

You belong back at St. Agri's.

Lily!

What happened?

Where is Lily?

A man broke in and took her.

It was Caleb Shaw.

Caleb? He retired from security detail years ago.

He was at the fire three years ago.

I looked into him.

He got there before the fire department.

I've never been able to dig up any information on him.

He really was there 20 minutes earlier.

Who sent him that night?

Key entries are redacted.

He's heading straight for the old site.

They want to run final collection on her.

If they complete that procedure, Lily may not survive it.

Thera? Seven years ago, I made you a promise.

No matter what happened, at least let Lily have one mom alive home. I know. I

made another decision for you.

You're going to be furious.

This time you should be angry.

She went inside.

Vera's worst habit is that every time she tries to save me, she pushes me away

first. Not this time.

I knew you'd come.

So did Eleanor.

I didn't say yes.

It was only a small diagnostic sample.

But I didn't say you could.

The old sample is too weak now.

So you took more from me?

What's that?

A test.

You're waiting for them?

Mom, Vera!

This is what no one has managed to complete in 32 years.

A full vampire conversion trial.

If you survive, I'll know the final step works.

My terms.

You're not in a position to make demands.

I am.

You need me alive to take it.

Use me for the trial. Stop touching Lily now. Until you know the result, you do

not take another drop of blood from her. If it works, I'll still need a full

treatment dose. That's later. Right now, she said no. You respect this no first.

No!

Her blood.

She said no.

My body.

This time, I am the one saying yes.

The stable window is real.

Mom, Vera!

Prepare phase two.

L-17?

I want my dose.

You broke our deal!

Police are still several minutes out.

We can't wait that long.

No!

We had a deal.

The trial worked.

Now I need my treatment.

No. I said no!

I'll handle him.

Are you sure?

This is an old cross facility.

There's still one thing I can do with this name.

You've spent years helping her lock other people behind doors.

Now it is your turn.

Mom!

Did she touch you again?

Not yet.

Okay, then we're leaving now. I only need one treatment.

She already said no.

You know what happens to me without it. I do, but that doesn't mean she owes you

her body. You said you wanted to be human.

then learn one thing humans are supposed to understand.

What? When someone says no, you stop.

I already said no.

She needs a doctor.

Vera?

The strangest thing right now is her vital signs are entirely those of an

ordinary human being.

As for why, I don't have a medical explanation.

Caleb is in police custody.

The fire door kept him contained until tactical units broke through.

What about Eleanor?

Another floor, under constant police guard.

We have Caleb's old St. Agam's employment files, his dispatch records

from the fire three years ago, Archeid Foundation server logs, and documents

proving the St. Aegis project was restarted. We also hold the full

evidence chain of Lily's abduction, physical proof of involuntary blood

draws, and complete forensic materials from the underground medical site.

I used to think that if I was safer than Vera, you'd choose me in the end. Now I

realize you were never a choice anyone else got to make.

Daniel. Don't comfort me.

This is the first thing I've gotten right.

Let me finish what I owe to justice.

Lily? She's safe.

Why is this thing so loud?

Welcome to being human.

It's really gone.

Looks like it.

There's one more thing.

I know.

You know what? I made another decision for you. I said we'd go in together, and

then I went in alone anyway. I'm sorry.

Next time you want to save me, ask first.

What if you say no? Then you stop.

Okay. Did any of our old memories come back? But I remember our first new date.

I remember kissing you again. Those are already enough for me to fall for you.

Can I come in? Yeah. Mom, Vera, you really have a heartbeat now. Welcome

back.

All physical evidence and witness statements are ready.

Eleanor Cross will stand formal criminal trial.

Will she try to claim coercion or frame up?

Caleb has given full sworn testimony.

Combined with server logs and on-site lab hardware evidence, the chain of

proof is complete.

She spent decades chasing immortality.

Now she is going to face justice.

I only need a tiny sample of L-17 blood. Get it for me. Just a small amount.

There will be no more experiments.

Lily will never be your test subject again.

I built decades of research.

All I wanted was to beat death itself.

Instead, you chose to beat other people.

That is why you are here.

When the trial is over, what do you want to do?

Just live.

No more running, no more experiments.

Just us three.

Are we going to be a real family forever?

The defendant may make her final statement.

I only wanted to survive.

Your Honor, the evidence before this court proves beyond reasonable doubt.

Conspiracy to abduct a minor, unlawful human experimentation, arson to destroy

criminal evidence.

Each of these acts traces directly back to Eleanor Cross.

The jury may now retire to deliberate.

Eleanor Cross on counts of conspiracy to commit abduction, reckless endangerment,

institutional fraud, and conspiracy to conduct unlawful human experimenting.

You are found guilty, sentenced to life-term imprisonment.

The past can never be erased, but we can build our own future.

Can we go home now?

Yes, we are going home.

Mom, Emily.

Is this wedding actually going to finish this time?

As long as you don't run in yelling mom in the middle of the ceremony.

Too late. I have been calling you that for eight years.

to inherit the old Emily's marriage.

She loved you seven years ago. I believe that.

But that was her choice.

This past year, I got to know you again.

I dated you again. I fell for you again. And now, this is my choice. I want to

propose to you and marry you all over again.

What if I need time to think?

Then I will wait. No, I mean, yes.

Very, very yes.

Do I still get to be the flower girl?

No.

This time you get a bigger job.

You will walk both of your moms down the aisle.

Can I?

What about you?

Yes.

Wait!

Okay, now we are ready.

Do you really still remember nothing of the old days?

I remember one thing.

I really want to kiss you right now.

Finally.

Just one tiny sample.

It can keep me alive.

There will be no more exploitation of a child's body.

That chapter is closed forever.

All of my decades-long research wasted.

Your research was built on other people's suffering.

It deserves to end.

Just a little sample, just a little longer to live.

The ghosts of the past can never fully disappear.

But we get to choose what comes next.
