Original subtitles

They're coming for me.

Reject Sebastian's acquisition deal.

If he can't handle that seat, I'll put someone else in it.

Sebastian may have a problem with that.

Then he can say it to my face.

Eleanor, who the hell do you think you are?

Because I run Ashford.

Mrs. Ashford.

The Stirlers will be there tonight.

I know.

Isadora never passes up an opening.

Then let her come.

Ashford, it's been a while.

The Sterlings will do business with anyone.

Aren't you worried that could come back to burn you?

Still charging in head first, I see.

Keep rushing and you're bound to fall.

Then watch closely and see which one of us hits the ground first.

Twenty years, and you haven't changed a bit.

I have.

You just haven't earned the right to see it.

Still too stubborn to admit it.

Those two have been at each other's throats since they were girls.

Ashford and Sterling, oil and water.

Eleanor.

Isadora.

It was you.

Where am I?

That isn't my hand.

My body.

What the hell happened to me?

Who is this?

What the hell is going on?

Three years ago, Eleanor Ashford, head of the Ashford family, was killed when

her car plunged off a cliff late at night.

Three years ago?

Since then, the Sterling Group has steadily increased its stake in the

Ashford Group.

I am dead?

Its holdings have now surpassed 30%.

making it the company's second largest shareholder.

Isadora. Acting Ashford family head Sebastian Ashford has yet to comment.

Three years.

I have been dead for three years?

Isadora.

You'd better have nothing to do with this.

This body won't hold out much longer.

Hey, gorgeous.

Drinking alone is no fun.

Come on, let me keep you company. Get lost.

Quit playing hard to get. You're coming with me.

Don't touch me.

Are you okay?

Isadora.

Same face as ever.

This body can't be more than 18.

Keep buying. Don't stop.

With Eleanor dead, Ashford is already on its last legs.

This is our best chance.

So it was you.

No. If I storm out there now, I'll only look insane.

Stay. Find proof.

Then make my move.

You're awake?

Where am I?

My estate.

You saved me.

Who are you?

You don't know me?

But you still threw yourself into a fight for me?

I saw someone being attacked, that's all.

What's your name?

Mia.

Mia, you saved my life.

That makes you my responsibility.

Responsible for me.

How? Stay here until you've healed.

Mrs. Sterling, there's trouble in the study.

Mia, get some rest.

Go. Take care of it.

The study?

What could be in that study that has her so rattled?

Don't rush.

First, learn the estate's layout.

Isadara, whatever you're hiding, I'll find it.

The study.

It should be at the end of the hall.

Is this it?

Who said you could go near that door?

I took a wrong turn.

You think someone like you belongs here?

Filthy little gutter rat.

You are stinking up the whole place.

Don't touch me. You shoved me? I work for the Strilling family.

I'll teach you some manners for Mrs. Strilling.

A servant dares to go over her employer's head and discipline someone?

The Strilling family certainly has some eye-opening rules.

What the hell is going on here?

Mrs. Strilling, she tried to enter the steady. I stopped her, and she shoved

me!

She shoved you? Yes!

She's an outsider. She has no right- Your side.

Let's hear it.

I took a wrong turn.

She put her hands on me first.

Collect your pay and leave today.

The Stricking family has no use for people who can't follow the rules.

You're still hurt. You shouldn't be wandering around.

I'll walk you back to your room.

What exactly is in there?

Don't touch me.

I've survived worse.

I don't need help walking.

This is my fault.

I never should have let a maid treat you like that.

I looked into you.

You're Mia, an underground fighter.

Work for me as my personal bodyguard.

$50,000 a month.

You start when you're healed.

Like I give a damn about your money.

In your condition, going back to underground fights is a death sentence.

Stay by my side and protect only me.

It suits you better.

Her personal bodyguard?

That puts me closer to her.

It's alright.

We can discuss it later.

Right now, you need to heal.

I don't take charity.

I'll be your bodyguard.

Deal.

Skip the handshake.

Miss Mia, the kitchen made this for you.

Thank you.

Is there something else?

Miss Strayling has a business trip in a week.

You'll need to accompany her as her bodyguard.

All right.

Please focus on your recovery.

Isadora, she's starting to trust me.

Good.

I'll peel back the mask one layer at a time.

Don't be nervous.

Just stay behind me when we get there.

Who are we meeting?

A business partner.

What family is important enough for you to go in person?

Curious?

For a family like Sterling, who besides someone on Ashford's level is worth the

trip. Mia, you really don't keep up with business, do you?

Ashford? Please.

They're circling the drain.

Even with me dead, Sebastian wouldn't just hand the company away.

Don't say that.

Ever since Ashford, they've made some questionable decisions.

We're meeting with the Winterborough family.

And it isn't entirely unrelated to Ashford.

Winterborough. The family I was supposed to marry into.

I died before the wedding ever happened.

Winterburn and Sterling are working together.

Did they team up to cause my crash?

Why is my heart pounding?

She's just beautiful.

That's all.

You saved me. Thank you.

It's my job.

I'm sorry. Someone cut us off.

Once we're inside, just stand behind me.

Understood.

Ms. Sterling, please have a seat.

Marcus, it's been a long time.

That useless idiot actually managed to keep Winterburn afloat? The terms are

negotiable. Depends what Miss Sterling is willing to put on the table.

Here it comes.

She'll smile and play nice.

That's how Isadara always closes a deal.

I had no idea Winterburn's employees were this eager to show their...

sincerity.

We haven't finished reading the contract, but your hand is already

wandering.

Is that how the Winterbergs train their people?

You... Marcus, I suggest you retrain your staff.

Starting with where they keep their hands.

What did you just say?

She actually called him out.

We're here to discuss business.

Show some restraint.

You're just a woman. How dare you!

My boss may have patience. I don't. Try me.

Isadora, don't get so smug.

Just be careful you don't become the next Eleanor.

Enough. We're leaving.

What did Marcus mean by that?

What does he know?

She panicked.

Who the hell do the Winterbergs think they are?

They've been relevant for all of two years, and suddenly they think they own

the city.

I'm tired.

That song.

I've loved it for 20 years.

Wouldn't a woman like her listen to classical piano?

What is it?

I didn't expect you to listen to music like this.

I didn't used to like it.

Then I realized how beautiful it was.

Did you?

Your hand.

Let me take care of it. Don't bother. It's a scratch.

I was only worried about you.

Worry about yourself.

What Marcus said. He knows about the crash.

Isadora looked terrified.

Was it really her?

Hello?

Shh.

I can't believe I'm her pillow now.

Miss Mia.

Something else?

A personal bodyguard must remain with Mrs. Sterling around the clock.

Around the clock?

Yes.

What, am I supposed to watch her shower too?

If Mrs. Sterling requires it, yes.

Fine.

Mrs. Sterling is waiting for you.

I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

Give me your hand.

I said I don't need it.

That's an order from your boss.

Next time, don't throw yourself in front of me.

I'm your bodyguard.

That's enough.

Alright.

Go wash up and get some sleep.

Get a grip.

It's an act.

Don't fall for it.

She may have tried to kill you.

Mia?

What? There is a robe on the bed.

Could you bring it to me?

What kind of robe is this?

What a hassle.

Open the door.

Hand it to me.

Put your hand out.

I can't see.

Careful!

Get up.

I'm... I'm sorry.

You... I didn't mean to.

Don't move yet.

My heart, it's pounding.

That's enough!

Dry yourself off.

Get a grip.

She's a suspect.

Stay focused.

The evidence comes first.

You blush so easily.

The conference room is on the left. Wait by the door.

She kept her schedule from three years ago?

Sebastian? She met Sebastian three days before the crash.

What did you and Sebastian talk about?

He's my brother.

Why would he meet with my sworn enemy?

Kay, pull someone's call records from three years ago.

Go ahead.

I found it.

Isadora made her last outgoing call.

Who did she call?

Eleanor Ashford. That call came from her. Why the hell are you investigating

her?

The last call before the crash.

Isadora, what were you trying to tell me?

Where are we going today? You'll know when we get there.

Something's off about her today.

Is there something on my face?

No.

Why do I even care how she feels?

A cemetery?

Miss Sterling, we're here.

Who did you come to see?

My grave.

She came to see me. Does she come every year? Three years.

Isadora. Why are you standing all the way over there?

Come here.

Curious why I came to see her?

Weren't you sworn enemies?

Yes. Everyone thought we hated each other.

We fought for 20 years, and I never even got to say goodbye.

You know, the two of you are a little alike.

She said, I'm like her?

It's unlocked.

The meeting records from three years ago, where are they?

Isidore really did meet Sebastian.

Don't come in.

That look.

I've never seen it on her face before.

What's behind that?

Miss Mia.

Mrs. Stirling is leaving.

Got it.

I'll come back.

Mr. Stirling.

It's been a long time. Mr. Winterborough.

Three years, and you're still buying Ashford stock.

It's just business.

You really can't let Eleanor go, can you?

Mr. Winterburl, your fiancée has been dead for three years.

Yet you wasted no time trying to seize her shares.

Those shares belong to me. I'm here to discuss the Ashford shares you own.

Bring me a serious offer, or there's nothing to discuss.

Excuse me.

It's been a long time.

Two-faced bastard.

Why is he after Ashford stock?

Was he involved in the crash?

You and Mrs. Ashford?

What about us?

Did you really hate each other?

We fought from the time we were 15 until we were 35.

Until the day she died, I never... Forget it.

Why am I telling you this?

You miss her, don't you?

You're awfully interested in what she meant to me tell me or don't

Too many

questions I almost gave myself away Eleanor

how can someone be so much like you?

Did you find anything?

Something's off about Winterburn.

Go on. The week before the crash, he drove out to the edge of town every day.

What's out there? A chop shop.

They'll modify any car for cash and never ask who owns it.

I'm coming to you.

Wait.

What else? What were you to Eleanor?

I used to work for her.

A trusted aide?

Don't ask questions that don't concern you.

It's the same serial number as the car I drove.

Marcus Winterborn.

It wasn't Isadora.

Then what part did she play in the crash?

Marcus carried it out.

But why did he want me dead?

Who gained the most from my death?

Sebastian, the acting head of the family.

Sebastian's office should be on the second floor of the East Wing.

Miss Ashford?

Miss Ashford?

You've mistaken me for someone else.

I'm sorry.

Your silhouette.

And the way you climb a wall.

It's exactly like Miss Ashford. She always kept her hands in her pockets,

too.

Her right shoulder sat a little lower than her left.

Yours does, too.

A coincidence?

Perhaps.

It's late.

You should go home.

He almost recognized me.

Someone in this house still remembers me.

You're still here? I'm here on Miss Sterling's orders.

You work for the Sterlings?

I need to ask you a few things.

About Miss Ashford? Yes.

The first thing Sebastian did after Mrs. Ashford died wasn't arranging her

funeral.

Then what was it?

The funeral was set for three days later.

That very day he sealed her private office.

He sealed the office?

Then tore it apart like he was desperate to find something.

He found nothing.

He flew into a rage and smashed the vase on her desk.

Of course he found nothing.

It was never in the office.

After that he started restructuring the company.

He wanted to erase every trace of Mrs. Ashford, but he never had what it takes.

And now the company is in his hands.

God help us. That idiot has destroyed the company I built with my own hands.

You seem very invested in the Ashford family.

I'm only gathering information for Mrs. Sterling.

The thing Sebastian's looking for... I know exactly what it is.

And he'll never get his hands on it.

Where did you go?

Out for some air.

Get some rest.

I will.

The chain of evidence is almost complete.

Come in.

You don't look well.

You brought me tea yourself?

You've been exhausted lately.

Drink it and get a good night's sleep.

Thank you.

Finish it, then go to bed early.

Wait.

What is it?

Why are you buying Ashford shares?

Do you hate her that much?

Who said I hated her?

If she doesn't

hate Eleanor, then why buy the shares?

Why visit the cemetery?

Maybe I was wrong from the very beginning.

What if she wasn't buying the shares to destroy Ashford?

Isadora, whose side are you really on?

The meeting will last an hour.

Wait outside for me.

Isadora left her phone.

Three days after the crash, I spoke to him today.

He refuses to stop.

How am I supposed to protect her?

Protect her?

Who is he?

Who was Isodanus talking to?

Who was she trying to protect?

Eleanor? Isadora. What exactly were you... What are you looking at?

Did you find what you were looking for?

I... This is how you repay my trust?

Leave.

What? I don't need you anymore.

Isadora, get out!

Mia, don't make me say it a third time.

Mia, why would you do this to me?

Why does this hurt so much?

The chop shop owner has been acting strange.

What's strange?

Shut down the shop.

Won't see anyone.

Won't answer his phone.

And he's nowhere to be found.

He hiding?

Stay on him. Wherever he goes, whoever he meets, I want to know.

Who is it? Miss Mia, it's Rosalind.

How did you find me here?

Miss Sterling has barely eaten in three days.

What does that have to do with me?

She told me to leave.

She won't say it, but I know she misses you.

Miss Sterling has dismissed people before. None of them ever made her this

angry.

Angry? Miss Sterling has never bowed to anyone in her life.

Miss Mia, if you care about her at all, don't walk away for good.

Every Wednesday afternoon, the cemetery.

She hasn't missed a single week in three years.

Isadora, is this hatred?

Or is it something else?

What happened?

Miss Sterling collapsed.

Call a doctor. Her fever is so high she's delirious.

She won't let anyone near her.

She only called out one name.

Yours.

I'm on my way.

Dr. Claire is inside.

I prescribed medication.

She refuses to take it.

Give it to me.

You're awake?

Don't leave.

She's calling my name in her sleep.

I'm right here.

Isadora, what am I to you?

You came back.

You're awake.

Thank you for taking care of me It's what a bodyguard is supposed to do

I'm hungry come downstairs and eat with me

This

can't go on I need to know what's behind that wall

This time, I'm getting a good look.

The first time I saw her, she glared at me. A business forum.

She was speaking on stage.

She didn't blink once while she spoke.

I watched the whole thing.

Her silhouette in the boxing ring. Her hand signing a contract.

Checking her watch at the airport.

Smiling at a birthday party.

Every one of these was taken in secret.

Twenty years worth.

All taken without me knowing.

Age 20. Our first photo together.

What?

Isadora, the thing you hid for 20 years?

I finally saw it.

That day you told me, I had a beautiful smile.

I never forgot it.

More than ten years.

You remembered all this time.

Three years.

Three years!

You came every single year!

No one left to fight me. That loneliness on your face.

You two are a little alike.

And I never looked back.

Not once.

Don't leave.

It all fits.

I finally understand everything.

She's back.

I can't make it back to my room in time.

Pull yourself together Isadora...

Stop thinking about her.

Focus on the crash.

Who is it?

Do you need something?

You took care of me all night. You barely slept.

Thank you.

You made this yourself?

I tried it. It tastes fine.

That's nothing to brag about.

You look prettier smiling than scrowling.

I wasn't smiling.

Finish it, then get some sleep.

Okay. You should get some rest, too.

What I feel for her it isn't hate anymore No

solve the crash then get the hell out

I

Heard you found the chop shop owner He's dead

when last night in his own shop

How did he die?

They torched the whole building and made it look like an electrical fire.

The trail just went cold.

This is the record of the last call he made.

The number is encrypted.

I traced the tower.

The call came from near the Winterbury estate.

They're destroying evidence.

They know someone's investigating.

Then we need to move faster.

I turned the light off before I left.

My dear Mia.

Aren't you going to explain yourself?

You owe me some kind of explanation.

Eleanor sponsored me.

Sponsored you?

She donated money for years.

Without her, I would have died on the street a long time ago.

No wonder you're so much like her.

If you grew up watching her, I suppose it makes sense.

I have another lead.

What lead?

The ER nurse from three years ago.

She still has the original records.

Who are you?

I work for the Sterling family.

I don't know anything.

You still have the original record.

I wouldn't hand it over even if Mrs. Sterling came herself.

If I give it to you, they'll kill me.

You know what happened to that man from the chop shop, don't you?

Morning

Come in.

Take it.

I have spent years terrified because of this thing.

It is time the truth came out.

The Stirring family will keep you safe.

You have my word.

There is something you need to know.

Mrs. Ashford's wasn't the only car brought in that night.

There was another car?

Whose?

A black car with no plates was brought in that same night.

The driver was injured.

Seven stitches in his forehead.

What about the registration information?

Someone picked him up, first thing the next morning.

Every field on his registration plate was blank.

What did the person who took him look like?

I couldn't see clearly.

But when the man arrived, I heard the driver address him.

What did he call him?

Mr. Winterbrun.

Marcus's driver was at the crash site three years ago.

If I call her now, what do I even say?

First, find out why Marcus was there.

That car, was it parked here before?

They've been following me since I went to see the nurse.

Just a tale.

I lost them, but now they know I'm investigating.

You're back.

The nurse's original record?

Look here.

I'm not surprised.

Marcus has spent years trying to buy my Ashfield shares.

Sebastian too. It was both of them.

Marcus is making an announcement at next week's annual business gala.

What announcement?

A merger between Ashford and Winterbourne.

A merger?

They call it a merger.

It's a takeover.

He's going to announce a takeover of the company I built with my own hands.

Sebastian agreed to this?

He signed a letter of intent.

They'll make it official at next week's gala.

Who the hell gave him the right?

Because he's the acting head now.

And because no one can find Eleanor's will.

That fool doesn't get to decide Ashford's future.

There will be a crowd tonight.

Sebastian will be there. Marcus too.

Stay close to me.

Those earrings.

What about them?

Nothing. Let's go.

I donated those earrings to a charity auction.

So this is where they ended up.

It's been a long time. You're looking well.

Miss Sterling, beautiful as ever.

You're too kind, sir.

Sebastian, my dear brother.

Ashfield will do right by all of you.

Keep it together.

Don't worry.

Mrs. Sterling.

Mr. Winterborn.

I hope I can count on your support for tonight's merger.

How gracious of you to ask, Mr. Winterbro.

Excuse me.

What is it?

Tonight won't stay peaceful for long.

Miss Sterling.

It's been a long time.

Mr. Ashford.

You've been buying Ashford shares for years.

When will you have enough?

As long as people sell, I'll buy.

Fair enough.

But your obsession with those shares does make people wonder.

People who read too much into things usually have something to hide.

Let's see if you're still this composed after tonight's gala.

I look forward to it.

Someone is investigating Ellador's crash.

You're here to blame me?

Which one of us said she has to disappear three years ago?

You hired the man who tampered with her car.

We do it tonight.

When the lights go out, everyone in our way goes silent for good.

We're in the same boat, Marcus.

Neither of us gets to jump ship first.

Something's wrong with that man.

What is Marcus setting up?

Tonight is going to get ugly.

You okay?

I shouldn't have come tonight.

But Marcus is announcing the merger.

I had to be here.

I won't let him swallow Eleanor's company right in front of everyone.

Why?

Get behind me.

Don't move. Get down!

Who sent you?

What are you so afraid of?

We're going to the hospital.

Now!

It was him.

I don't need a hospital.

It's a scratch.

Shut up.

Drive.

I told you, it's nothing.

If it hurts, say so.

Are you crying?

No.

Stop shaking.

I'm the one who got hurt.

Why the hell did you take that hit for me?

He had a knife.

Do you have a death wish?

She's cursing me out, but her hands won't stop shaking.

Isadora, what the hell am I supposed to do with you?

I can walk by myself.

Shut up and move.

Sit down.

It's not deep, but you'll need a few stitches.

Keep it dry for three days.

Stitches come out in seven.

Got it who gave you permission to put yourself between me and that knife. I'm

your bodyguard That's not what I asked two inches to the side and that blade

would have severed your artery

Next time

you decide to take a blade for someone Remember you only have

one life

And that someone might give a damn if you lose it.

When I lunged in front of her, I wasn't

thinking. I'm her bodyguard.

All I could think was, I can't let her get hurt.

How's the wound?

It's fine.

She didn't sleep at all last night.

I'm Eleanor Ashford, head of the Ashford family.

I've spent my entire life dealing with men, so how can... How can one woman

make my heart pound like this?

I don't believe it.

I don't believe I'm attracted to women.

It's because she saved me.

It's gratitude.

Nothing more.

That excuse.

Even I don't believe it.

Why are you standing so far away?

Better visibility.

I can spot threats from farther out.

Miss Sterling, the meeting starts in ten minutes.

You are acting strange today.

Stop!

What?

You are avoiding me.

No, I am not.

You stood ten feet behind me all day.

You used to stay within two feet. It is not like I can tell her. You make my

heart race.

If you don't want to tell me, don't.

Just don't avoid me.

Mrs. Sterling went to the cemetery again last night.

What did she go there for this time?

Eleanor.

Have you lost your damn mind?

You fought her for 20 years.

She was your sworn enemy.

You're hurt.

That knife was two inches away from...

Don't leave.

When did the way I look at her start to change?

My heart isn't racing because I'm nervous.

The investigation comes first.

I can't let these feelings cloud my judgment.

I came back for revenge, not to fall in love.

Not yet.

Why are you sitting so far away?

The light is better over here.

Turn around.

What is it?

You're still avoiding me.

I'm not.

At dinner, you sat at the opposite end of the table.

You used to sit beside me.

Are you nervous?

Come with me tomorrow afternoon.

She hasn't said a single word all day.

This lake.

Why did you bring me here?

Take it.

It's the photo from the wall in your study.

Turn it over.

I've never told anyone this, but I want you to know I've loved Eleanor for

years. She never knew.

After she died, I thought I'd never meet anyone who made me feel that way again.

But I'm telling you now because you're not her.

You're you, Mia.

Isidona, what are you... Go ahead.

We've got trouble.

Sebastian knows you're investigating him.

His men are already on their way to find you.

Get in.

Careful. There are two cars.

Hold on.

I didn't know you could drive like that.

You made it down a road that narrow before I took over the company?

I wanted to be a race car driver.

That road was nothing.

Get inside. Don't use your real name.

Go ahead. Mia, I just got word. Sebastian will petition the court this

afternoon to freeze every Ashburn asset.

What?

What happened? Sebastian will freeze all assets and transfer as much money as

possible. He wants to bleed Ashburn dry before the truth comes out.

Once we submit the evidence, how soon can we get a hearing?

Next Wednesday at the earliest.

We don't have that kind of time.

Sebastian couldn't find the share certificates, so now he plans to move

the money in secret.

I have to act before the shareholders' meeting.

I know where the document he's been searching for is hidden.

Eleanor told you even that?

She suspected Sebastian long ago and gave me secret instructions.

Why does that sound wrong?

It's in the study at the Ashford estate.

Sebastian's men are outside looking for me.

We need to move faster.

Let's go.

For the first time, we were fighting on the same side.

Mrs. Sterling.

Help us.

Come in.

He's already searched the room.

Is that it?

It's still here.

Eleanor's signature.

And the notary seal.

If anything happens to me, all decision-making authority over

Ashford... Sebastian is back!

Move.

Follow me.

out of time.

Do you have it?

Yes.

I'll hold him off.

You two take the hidden passage.

No!

Go! Now!

We cannot let him destroy Ashburn.

Who are you, really?

What do you mean?

You said Eleanor sponsored you.

But you knew where she hid the most important thing she owned.

You know how she organized her books, and the way you searched that study.

It was exactly like her.

I won't ask who you are.

I'll ask you one thing.

Are you investigating this for her, or for yourself?

If there is any change to Ashford's assets, control of everything will pass

to Isadora Sterling.

She is the only person I trust.

Sebastian is an idiot.

Marcus can't even keep his own family in order.

In 20 years, she never once pulled anything underhanded behind my back.

Choosing her was the best decision I could make.

There are things I can't tell you yet.

Then don't.

But remember this.

Whoever you are, I'm on your side.

Miss Sterling, this is a private Ashford meeting.

I know.

But I have something the shareholders need to see.

Security!

Are you sure this is the moment you want to call security?

Ladies and gentlemen.

This is a codicil to Eleanor Ashford added to her will before her death. That

document is a forgery!

Then what about this?

If there is any change to Ashford's assets, control of everything will pass

to Isadora Stirling.

She is the only person I trust.

You claim the document is invalid.

Then why have you spent three years searching for it?

I... Because you know that once this document becomes public, every dollar

you embezzled and every financial record you falsified over the past three years

will come to light.

Sebastian,

is that true?

Mr. Ashford, don't leave.

What gives you the right to stop me?

A court summons.

Suspected embezzlement of company assets and falsification of financial records.

Isera! Eleanor! You fucking bitches!

Exhibit 1.

A record of Marcus Winterbrun transferring $500,000 to a chop shop

outside the city three years ago.

Exhibit 2. The chop shop owner's death report.

A fire staged to look like an electrical error.

Exhibit 3, the ER nurse's original record. The night of the crash, Mr.

Winterborn picked up the driver of a second unregistered vehicle.

Three pieces of evidence, all pointing to the same man.

Your Honor, all of this evidence is circumstantial.

A bank transfer does not prove its purpose.

The shop owner's death cannot be tied directly to my client, and the nurse's

record is nothing more than a hazy, three-year-old memory.

He's twisting everything.

None of this proves my client tampered with that vehicle.

All that evidence, and he's still saying it means nothing?

One look at his face tells you everything.

You won't escape this time.

This court is adjourned.

A ruling will be issued at a later date.

Marcus is finished.

Sebastian too.

I finally know the truth about the crash.

Then why do I feel so empty?

Thank you.

It's all over.

Yeah.

What will you do now?

I don't know.

I'm Eleanor, not Mia. I haven't thought about it.

You could stay here.

I... I want you to stay.

She said she wants me to stay.

Mia.

I never finished what I was telling you by the lake.

I can't tell her who I am.

If I tell her, how will she look at me?

I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

The way she walks.

Always keeping her hands in her pockets.

The way she stepped in front of that knife without hesitating.

The way she searched the study.

All the pieces.

They fit together.

What's wrong?

You're too much like Eleanor.

No.

You're exactly like her. What are you talking about?

Even the way you looked at me when we first met was exactly the way she did.

Who are you?

Are you sure you want to know?

I'm Eleanor Ashford.

I died in that crash three years ago.

Then I woke up in this body.

And you brought me home.

I came to you because, at first, I thought you were the killer.

I needed the truth. I needed proof.

After all this time investigating you, I finally realized you weren't the killer.

You were protecting my company all along.

Visiting my grave.

I saw the wall in your study.

I know you... I

should have known.

I'm sorry.

You stood right in front of me all this time.

And I didn't recognize you.

I'm the one who owes you an apology.

For 20 years, every time you challenged me, I thought you hated me.

Every time you beat me in business, I

held it against you.

All those years, and I never saw the truth.

Not once.

You don't owe me an apology.

I do.

These words, I love you, are 20 years late.

I don't need you to owe me anything.

I only need you here.

My sworn enemy of 20 years.

Now she's lying beside me.

Morning.

Why are you awake so early?

Come back to sleep.

No one is to go upstairs this morning.

What are you smiling at?

Rosalind put the whole estate on lockdown.

This feels so good.

We're just like any other couple.

Isn't that Miss Sterling?

Who's the woman with her?

Never seen her before.

Would you please get off my desk?

No?

Put it down and leave.

What are you doing?

What's for dinner?

Can you act normal for once?

No. I have 20 years to make up for.

Are you cooking dinner or stocking a bunker?

I need all of this to cook.

You need potato sticks to cook?

Everyone is watching.

So what?

I'm holding my girlfriend.

You and your girlfriend make a lovely couple.

Thank you.

I think so too.

Why are you staring at me?

Because you look beautiful doing anything.

My former sworn enemy is

cooking for me now.

We first came here 23 years ago.

You were 15.

You remember?

I just didn't know you liked me back then.

Back then, all you knew how to do was fight me.

Because I thought you hated me.

Now I know the truth.

I'll never hurt you like that again.

The woman I love most is finally by my side.

We'll come here often.

All right.

You hate me that much?

Did you ask yourself that when you killed me?

Sebastian Ashford, on the combined convictions of murder, embezzlement, and

corporate fraud.

This court sentences you to 30 years in prison.

Marcus Winterborn, for your role in the same crimes, this court sentences you to

20 years in prison.

It's over.

Yes, it's finally over.

Starting today, no one will ever come after us again.

Don't move What

exactly are you trying to do? Nothing at all

What

about your files?

Forget the files You're pretty strong No

one is going to disturb us tonight

What are you looking at you're wearing my shirt your clothes smell like you

You're in my way

the eggs are going to burn

Take

your time with breakfast.

I won't be making lunch.

What do you think she's suggesting we eat?

Anything but burnt eggs.

Then I'll have my dessert first.

I don't know how we're already here.

Why do I need to learn boxing?

Self-defense.

What if someone comes at you with a knife again and I'm not there? I can't

lose you again.

Straighten your back. Lower your center of gravity.

Punch.

Are you throwing a punch or petting the air?

Harder. Drive from your hips.

Again.

Oh!

Did I hurt you?

I was faking it.

You taught me to box just so you could do that?

No.

The boxing lesson was real.

So was the kiss.

What are you looking at?

How many years you spent taking secret pictures of me?

This was the family banquet.

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me then?

That day you said you hated standing beside me.

I was too stubborn to admit the truth.

I'm right here beside you.

From now on, we'll take every photo

together.

Promise? I promise.

After 20 years, that photo wall no longer tells the story of a love she

carried alone.

What happens now?

What do you mean?

You have the face of an 18 year old. I'm 38.

What will people say?

Let them say whatever the hell they want.

I'm Eleanor Ashford.

I spent 20 years fighting you.

Only to fight my way right to your side.

And I want to spend every day I have left with you.

I died once and came back.

I lost everything.

And somehow found everything.

From now on, I'll be here.

Every single day.
