00:00:0016 years. Ever since that lab explosion took my parents, I've been locked in this cage by Caleb Thorne.

00:00:1116 years. Ever since that lab explosion took my parents, I've been locked in this cage by Caleb Thorne.
00:00:18He's my guardian and my secret lover.
00:00:21He said once I got a faculty position at Faircroft, he'd consider being with me.
00:00:26Today's my 24th birthday. I turned down every invitation.
00:00:30Ready to give myself to him.
00:00:40Caleb, slow down.
00:00:42Isn't it your little orphan's birthday today?
00:00:45Stay focused. Why bring her up?
00:00:49Heard she turned down every academic offer for you dead set on getting in your bed.
00:00:54You've kept her in Manhattan for 16 years.
00:00:57You actually gonna touch that virgin?
00:01:02Just a canary with a mental illness who can't survive without me.
00:01:09I keep her around to clean up the mess from that lab accident years ago.
00:01:12I know the difference between a woman and a pet.
00:01:25Ella, who gave you permission to watch?
00:01:28Go back to your room.
00:01:42Caleb, you promised me.
00:01:46Dressed like this outside my door?
00:01:49You think you're some cheap whore?
00:01:51Today's my 24th birthday.
00:01:53I got the faculty offer from Faircroft.
00:01:55You'd consider us...
00:01:57Like the state of my her own in Hellman.
00:02:00You said once I had it, you'd consider us...
00:02:02I spent millions raising you.
00:02:03And this is how you repay me?
00:02:05With this filthy little scheme?
00:02:06I just love you, Caleb.
00:02:08Love?
00:02:09You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around.
00:02:12You read a few books,
00:02:13and you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
00:02:30Listen up, all of you.
00:02:32Starting tonight,
00:02:33Serena is the lady of this penthouse.
00:02:35What she says,
00:02:36goes.
00:02:38Yes, Mr. Thorne.
00:02:39Yes, Mr. Thorne.
00:02:40Yes, Mr. Thorne.
00:02:41Yes, Mr. Thorne.
00:02:50Professor at Fairchit?
00:02:52Sounds real impressive.
00:02:55That promise?
00:02:56It was all just a game to you, wasn't it?
00:03:01Just a trick to keep a pet entertained.
00:03:04Who knew you'd be stupid enough to believe it?
00:03:10Know your place, Ella.
00:03:11Try this cheap little stunk again,
00:03:14and I'll throw you back to the slumps.
00:03:22Call the family trust.
00:03:24Separate Ella's bills from the family account.
00:03:26She's not part of the Thorne family.
00:03:27Just a pet I keep.
00:03:31Long-term investment.
00:03:33I was just a priced pet to him this whole time.
00:03:38Caleb, why are you still wearing this cheap thing?
00:03:42You're right.
00:03:43Cheap things don't belong on my wrist.
00:03:49That was his 18th birthday gift.
00:03:51I bought it with the money I made from my part-time work.
00:03:55He promised me he'd wear it forever.
00:03:59This Pat Felilip, I bought it at auction just for you.
00:04:02This is what fits your status.
00:04:15What are you still doing here?
00:04:17Take out the trash.
00:04:18You're getting in Serena's way.
00:04:24Caleb, bringing a moody orphan to a place like this?
00:04:27It's like you.
00:04:28It's not like you.
00:04:30A pet needs to see the real world,
00:04:32so she doesn't forget her worth.
00:04:35I don't know what I did wrong.
00:04:37Ever since he met Serena,
00:04:39he's done nothing but humiliate me like this.
00:04:44Polaris, that's the graduation gift he promised me.
00:04:48Caleb, this is for me?
00:04:51Polaris means the one and only guide.
00:04:54Only a woman who stands equal to the Thorn family deserves this.
00:05:04Pretty, isn't it, Ella?
00:05:05It's a gift from Caleb.
00:05:07Caleb, you lied to me.
00:05:09Lied to you?
00:05:10You think a faculty offer at Fairtick
00:05:13makes you worthy to stand by my side?
00:05:15You said it was mine.
00:05:17You're just a pet I own.
00:05:19Pets don't get to demand gifts from their masters.
00:05:23Get out.
00:05:24You're ruining the night.
00:05:31Gentlemen, to another successful quarter.
00:05:35Indeed.
00:05:37Though I must say,
00:05:38the real victory is yet to come.
00:05:42Couldn't agree more, Caleb.
00:05:52Ella,
00:05:53the chef made this especially for you.
00:05:56Have a taste.
00:06:00I'm sorry.
00:06:01I can't eat this.
00:06:03What's wrong?
00:06:04Not to your taste?
00:06:07Ready, don't have out-tip that escapes.
00:06:10All the partners are watching, Ella.
00:06:12Refusing your host food at a dinner party is terribly rude.
00:06:16Caleb, you know.
00:06:17I go into an anaphylactic shock if I eat peanuts.
00:06:24Cut the crap and stop making a scene.
00:06:34Caleb.
00:06:35Eat it.
00:06:36Don't make me say it again.
00:06:40He knew how deadly my peanut allergy was.
00:06:43Yet to save his new lover's face,
00:06:46he's forcing me to do this.
00:07:16Caleb.
00:07:21Oh my god, Caleb.
00:07:22She's terrifying like this.
00:07:24I am scared.
00:07:29Throw her out.
00:07:31Do not let her ruin Serena night.
00:07:47Well, what do we have here?
00:07:50A poor little thing thrown out by someone.
00:07:53You're real pretty.
00:07:55Why don't you keep me company?
00:07:57Ah!
00:08:04Ella?
00:08:05What happened to you?
00:08:06Hold on.
00:08:07I am taking you to the hospital right now.
00:08:10Hold on!
00:08:11I am taking you to the hospital right now!
00:08:22You're finally awake.
00:08:24The doctor said you'd be dead if you'd arrived ten minutes later.
00:08:30Where's Caleb?
00:08:31He's your legal guardian.
00:08:33How could he leave you to die in an alley?
00:08:36Sixteen years by his side.
00:08:37I thought I was his treasure.
00:08:39Until last night,
00:08:40I realized I was nothing but trash
00:08:42he could throw away whenever he wanted.
00:08:44Elliot,
00:08:45thank you for saving me.
00:08:47Are you...
00:08:48okay?
00:08:51I'm fine.
00:08:52I just...
00:08:54finally woke up.
00:08:57Caleb Thorne.
00:08:58From today on,
00:09:00I don't love you anymore.
00:09:06Well, look who's here.
00:09:07The stray dog Caleb keeps around.
00:09:09You sure have a hard life,
00:09:10didn't die in the hospital?
00:09:13Well, besides that pretty face,
00:09:15all she's good at is sucking up to people.
00:09:26That's the only thing my parents left me!
00:09:28How dare you use it as a table coder!
00:09:30Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:31I thought it was just a piece of worthless trash.
00:09:36I wouldn't touch that if I were you.
00:09:37Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:09:39That champagne tower is resting on it.
00:09:41Every bottle here is worth more than your life.
00:09:43Can you afford it if it collapses?
00:09:45That's my parents' memento.
00:09:47Take it out and give it back to me.
00:09:48Memento?
00:09:49It's just a piece of junk.
00:09:51Being a coaster is the only use it has,
00:09:53just like you.
00:09:57This has everything that belongs to me!
00:09:59Give it back to me!
00:10:00You filthy little thing.
00:10:02You really think Caleb kept you around
00:10:03because he cared?
00:10:04He was just bored,
00:10:05keeping a dog for fun.
00:10:07Now that I'm marrying you to the Thorne family,
00:10:08you're not even worth a dog.
00:10:14What's all this noise about?
00:10:21A cursed child like you
00:10:22can't even hold onto your parents' memento?
00:10:25How dare you think you deserve
00:10:26to stand by Caleb's side?
00:10:28Get out of my way!
00:10:29I'm getting that drive back!
00:10:39Caleb, it hurts!
00:10:41Caleb,
00:10:43I just used a useless hard drive
00:10:45to prop up the table
00:10:46and she tried to kill me.
00:10:48She's jealous I'm marrying you.
00:10:49She wanted me to die in all this glass.
00:10:55I didn't push her.
00:10:56Where's my drive?
00:10:57I'm the only thing my parents left me.
00:11:00Ella, stop it!
00:11:02Are you willing to throw your life away
00:11:03for a piece of junk?
00:11:14Caleb, I got it.
00:11:18Ella, you've really disappointed me.
00:11:20His words completely shattered
00:11:22the fantasy I've held for 16 years.
00:11:24I saw him as a god,
00:11:25my only salvation.
00:11:26But in his eyes,
00:11:28I'm not even worth
00:11:28a single tear from Serena.
00:11:32Get it back!
00:11:34It's the only thing they left me!
00:11:35You dared to hurt someone
00:11:37over a worthless piece of junk?
00:11:38Serena is the future lady
00:11:40of the Thorn family.
00:11:41Your viciousness makes me sick.
00:11:57Now that this is gone,
00:11:59you will behave yourself.
00:12:00If you pull something like this again,
00:12:03I'll have you sent straight to prison.
00:12:05As you wish,
00:12:06Mr. Thorn.
00:12:09Ella,
00:12:10as Caleb's former mentor,
00:12:11I have to warn you,
00:12:12Project Absolute Zero
00:12:13is an extremely high-risk,
00:12:14one-way research mission.
00:12:16Once you enter the subatomic
00:12:17Crimo chamber,
00:12:18your biological clock
00:12:19will be frozen in stasis.
00:12:20You could suffer brain death
00:12:21at any time during hibernation.
00:12:23Are you sure you want to do this?
00:12:24Ella,
00:12:25even if you want to get away
00:12:26from Caleb,
00:12:27you don't have to gamble
00:12:27your life on this.
00:12:29There's no other way.
00:12:30He raised me for 16 years
00:12:32and only the high compensation
00:12:34from Distamets and Parabit Alhwe.
00:12:36This is the only way
00:12:37I can completely cut
00:12:38all glungs with him.
00:12:43If you've made up your mind,
00:12:44this still needs the signature
00:12:46and authorization
00:12:46of your legal guardian
00:12:48to take full effect.
00:12:54The scabs on your hands
00:12:56have barely healed
00:12:56and you're already here
00:12:57to get in my way again.
00:12:59This is a research project application.
00:13:02I need my guardian signature.
00:13:04Another garbage grant application,
00:13:06Ella?
00:13:06Can you do anything
00:13:07besides leech off me for money?
00:13:09This is the last time.
00:13:11It better be.
00:13:19Take the money
00:13:20and get out of this penthouse.
00:13:22Once you sign this,
00:13:24disappear from my site for good.
00:13:31Caleb,
00:13:33starting today,
00:13:34I will disappear
00:13:35from your world forever.
00:13:47Miss Bennett,
00:13:48are you sure you want
00:13:48to liquidate all of this?
00:13:50This cart-eating sapphire necklace
00:13:51was custom made
00:13:52by Mr. Thorne
00:13:53as your birthday gift.
00:13:56Pack everything.
00:13:57I'll take below market value
00:13:59if the funds
00:13:59can be transferred today.
00:14:01Understood.
00:14:01I'll arrange it immediately.
00:14:05I once thought
00:14:06all of this
00:14:06was proof of his affection
00:14:08for me.
00:14:09But it turned out
00:14:10to be nothing
00:14:10but a way
00:14:11to keep me caged.
00:14:14Miss Bennett,
00:14:14as you requested,
00:14:15the full liquidation
00:14:16is complete.
00:14:17From the day
00:14:18you were taken
00:14:18into the Thorne family's
00:14:19custody at age 8
00:14:20until now.
00:14:21This includes
00:14:21your private school
00:14:22and goal endowments,
00:14:23university tuition,
00:14:24living expenses,
00:14:25medical bills,
00:14:26and even the HOO fees
00:14:27for this Manhattan penthouse.
00:14:28Plus the maximum
00:14:29commercial loan interest
00:14:30over these 16 years.
00:14:31The total is
00:14:3280 million U.S. dollars.
00:14:34Not a single cent
00:14:35is missing, correct?
00:14:36That's right.
00:14:37But Miss Bennett,
00:14:37are you sure
00:14:38you want to do this?
00:14:38There's no legal obligation
00:14:39for you to pay this back.
00:14:41I don't want to owe him anything.
00:14:45This is almost
00:14:46your entire net worth.
00:14:47It doesn't matter.
00:14:48This money is exactly enough
00:14:50to buy out my 16 years.
00:14:54Use every resource
00:14:55in the lab.
00:14:56I want every single bit
00:14:57of data on this drive
00:14:58recovered.
00:14:59No exceptions.
00:15:00Mr. Thorne,
00:15:01this drive suffered
00:15:02catastrophic physical damage
00:15:03and was submerged
00:15:04in ice water.
00:15:05Even with the most advanced
00:15:06quantum recovery equipment,
00:15:07the success rate
00:15:08is extremely low.
00:15:09I don't want to hear
00:15:10about probabilities.
00:15:11If you can't recover
00:15:12the data,
00:15:13your entire team
00:15:14is out of Manhattan
00:15:15tomorrow.
00:15:17Yes, sir.
00:15:17I'll handle it immediately.
00:15:27Sir,
00:15:27these are the final
00:15:28funding documents
00:15:29for Project Absolute Zero,
00:15:30a joint initiative
00:15:31between the Pentagon
00:15:31and NASA.
00:15:32They require your final
00:15:33confirmation and signature.
00:15:36For routine approvals
00:15:37like this,
00:15:37have the VP sign them
00:15:38from now on.
00:15:39like this.
00:16:03I, my son,
00:16:04I didn't care about it.
00:16:04it,
00:16:05but it's werent.
00:16:05They're all the way.
00:16:06The next episode
00:16:08I could say,
00:16:08because she's
00:16:08going to be
00:16:09list. Volunteer 01 for the Subatomic Creo Chamber. Sign the highest risk one-way agreement,
00:16:15waiving all rights to their life. There's no way this is Miss Bennett.
00:16:25A death waiver? No, this can't be happening.
00:16:29The number you have dialed is switched off. Cancel all my meetings this afternoon.
00:16:33But sir, we're supposed to finalize the wedding venue this afternoon.
00:16:39Caleb! The designer from Paris is waiting downstairs. Come help me pick from these
00:16:43wedding dresses. Move. I don't have time for this right now.
00:16:47Where are you going? We're sending out the invitations tomorrow.
00:16:50Is there anything more important than our wedding?
00:17:02Check. Immediately access the backend database of the federal recruitment system and re-verify
00:17:07the identity file for Volunteer 01.
00:17:09Yes, sir. Accessing it now.
00:17:12Sir, it's verified. There was an input error on the document. Volunteer 01 is a Hispanic male.
00:17:20The $100,000 has been wired.
00:17:23Received. Which database do you want to access?
00:17:25Federal recruitment system, Volunteer 01. Wipe the original name, change the gender to male,
00:17:30and plug in a random Hispanic background. Full network coverage in two minutes.
00:17:35Caleb, what could possibly make you ignore our wedding guest list like this?
00:17:38It's nothing. I knew it. She'd never have the guts to sign a one-way death agreement like that.
00:17:45I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. She'd never have the guts to sign a one-way death
00:17:54agreement.
00:17:54Stop it! Cut the power right now! Her brainwaves are hitting the critical threshold!
00:17:59Terminating desensitization stimuli.
00:18:07Ella, are you out of your mind? Not even specially trained soldiers can handle this level of
00:18:12simulated hibernation pain. I signed the agreement. There's no turning back.
00:18:20Please, all volunteers of the Project Absolute Zero, go to Hall 1. The representative
00:18:25of the largest private capital sponsor is about to give a speech.
00:18:29Sponsor? I thought the military was keeping this whole thing classified from the public.
00:18:33Come on. Pentagon clearance isn't something just anyone can get.
00:18:51I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
00:18:53Caleb, why is he here?
00:18:56Sir, these are the advanced volunteers for the Subatomic Cryopod Program. Subject Zero-One is among them.
00:19:03Zero-One? That is my number. He did not just know I signed that death warrant.
00:19:08He is here to make sure I really disappear from his world for good.
00:19:14I am not here to give you cheap sympathy or empty words of comfort.
00:19:19Thorne Global Group has poured $10 billion into Project Absolute Zero.
00:19:22As far as I am concerned, the one-way agreement you signed is nothing more than a high-risk,
00:19:26high-reward investment. Scientific progress always comes with a cost. As long as the data is valuable,
00:19:31every write-off is an acceptable business experience. Sixteen years by his side and in his eyes,
00:19:37I am nothing more than a set of cold numbers he can write off whenever he wants.
00:19:46Sir, it's Miss Serena Huntington. The Huntington family is pressing for the final
00:19:50maid of honor list for the wedding and security confirmation for the Yacht Party.
00:19:53Miss Serena Huntington. The Huntington family is pressing for the final maid of honor list for the final maid of
00:20:08honor.
00:20:08Hello? You okay?
00:20:15I'm fine.
00:20:18Caleb, my life is yours to keep
00:20:20I hope you and your bride have a very happy wedding
00:20:26Three days
00:20:27I cut off all her cards
00:20:29She can't survive without me
00:20:30She's definitely holed up in that room
00:20:32Crying her eyes out right now
00:20:33Indulid user, permissions have been cleared
00:20:36No, that's not possible
00:20:40You changed the lock code?
00:20:42Ella, you've got some nerve
00:20:55Ella, get out here
00:20:56Quit with this childish game
00:21:12We're even?
00:21:13Ella?
00:21:14Who the hell gave you permission to be even with me?
00:21:27Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off
00:21:34Damn it, Ella
00:21:35You think you can hide somewhere and I won't find you?
00:21:48Caleb, there you are
00:21:50Look, Vera sent this over personally
00:21:53You haven't even tried on your tux yet
00:21:57Take it off
00:21:59What?
00:22:00I said take that disgusting dress off
00:22:03The wedding's off
00:22:04The wedding's off
00:22:04Are you insane?
00:22:06Every media outlet in New York is waiting for the ceremony tomorrow
00:22:09Both our family's stocks jumped ten points off this merger
00:22:14And you're saying it's off now?
00:22:16Don't make me say it twice
00:22:17Ella's gone
00:22:19Until I find her
00:22:20Until I find her
00:22:20No one's walking through the doors of the Thorn Estate as my wife
00:22:28Caleb!
00:22:30You're humiliating me for that little part!
00:22:45Who the hell gave you permission to move anything in here?
00:22:48Where's the owner?
00:22:49Sir, we're just doing our job
00:22:50Hey man, who are you looking for?
00:22:53Who the hell are you?
00:22:54This house belongs to Ella Bennett
00:22:56What gives you the right to live here?
00:22:59Chill out!
00:23:00I bought this place through a licensed agency
00:23:02I'm the legal owner now
00:23:04Mr. Thorn!
00:23:06Please let go, this is all completely legal
00:23:09You're the realtor for this property
00:23:10Who gave you the balls to sell it?
00:23:12It was Mrs. Ella Bennett herself, sir
00:23:14She came into the office a week ago
00:23:16And signed all the paperwork personally
00:23:17Her only condition was that we sell it 20% below market value
00:23:21But the full cash amount had to hit her account within 24 hours
00:23:49The whole of Manhattan can be your home
00:23:52As long as you stay where I can see you
00:24:02What else did she sell?
00:24:03Mrs. Bennett also liquidated all the vehicles in her name
00:24:06As well as her holdings in the charitable foundation
00:24:12Did she say anything else to you?
00:24:14She said
00:24:17She said she was going away
00:24:18And everything she needed for the rest of her life
00:24:20Fit in a single envelope
00:24:22All the cash she got from the sales went into that check she wrote to you, sir
00:24:26She's planned this all along
00:24:28She was planning to leave me this whole time
00:24:30Track Ella Bennett's location right now
00:24:32I don't care what it costs
00:24:33Find her
00:24:57Caleb
00:24:57Caleb, I want to join the research my parents never got to finish
00:25:03I said no
00:25:04Remember, Ella?
00:25:05You don't go anywhere without my permission
00:25:07You stay right here with me
00:25:15Ella, you lied to me!
00:25:35Research sponsorship
00:25:39I signed my name on this damn thing myself
00:25:49This is a research project application
00:25:51I need my guardian's signature
00:25:53Another garbage grant application, Ella?
00:25:56Can you do anything besides leech off me for money?
00:25:59This is the last time
00:26:01It better be
00:26:09Take the money and get out of this penthouse
00:26:12Once you sign this
00:26:14Disappear from my sight for good
00:26:18Ella, you lied to me!
00:26:24Mark
00:26:25Lock down every subatomic lab in Manhattan
00:26:28Now
00:26:29Sir, the military's already taken control
00:26:31We can't stop them
00:26:52Ella, give me a glass of water
00:27:00The number you have dialed is not inserted
00:27:17Service
00:27:18Did you find Ella?
00:27:20No, sir
00:27:21I spend tens of millions a year on you and your team
00:27:24And you're telling me you can't find one single person?
00:27:26Ms. Bennett's data
00:27:27It's been wiped
00:27:29Her social security number
00:27:30Bank accounts
00:27:31Medical records
00:27:32Access logs
00:27:33Even her cloud photos
00:27:35Everything's gone
00:27:42Ella, you think wiping yourself off the map means I won't find you?
00:27:45I'm going to hunt you down myself and bring you back
00:27:53Sir
00:27:54Sir
00:27:54We've sorted through over 3,000 hours of footage
00:27:57And we still haven't found any sign of Ms. Bennett
00:28:00Then sort through 30,000
00:28:02I don't care if we have to turn over every inch of Manhattan
00:28:04You will find her
00:28:08Wait
00:28:08Rewind three seconds
00:28:09Bottom left corner
00:28:19Found you
00:28:19Bad girls get punished, you know
00:28:26Remember this
00:28:27In Manhattan, you're nothing but my property
00:28:31Step out a line
00:28:34And you get punished
00:28:36I'll be good, Daddy
00:28:38I promise
00:28:46Ella, this little runaway game of yours
00:28:48It's over
00:29:28Ella, get out here and face me
00:29:33On your knees
00:29:35Hands behind your head
00:29:36Where's Ella?
00:29:37I need to see Ella Bennett
00:29:45Ella!
00:29:47Give her back to me!
00:29:49Give me my Ella back!
00:29:59Mr. Thorne
00:30:00You signed this document last week
00:30:03Under this agreement
00:30:04This facility is designated as
00:30:06Top Secret Federal Restricted Land
00:30:08You are not authorized to enter
00:30:09I signed a research sponsorship
00:30:11My Ella is in there
00:30:13Let her out
00:30:13Ella
00:30:14You get out here right now
00:30:16How dare you
00:30:17How dare you sign up for this death trap
00:30:20Behind my back
00:30:25Daddy
00:30:26I want to restart my parents' project
00:30:29Absolute Zero Research
00:30:30To finish what they started
00:30:35That garbage your parents were working on
00:30:37It's worthless
00:30:39There's no point to any of it
00:30:40Daddy, I
00:30:41I'm warning you
00:30:42You don't touch that research
00:30:43Without my permission
00:30:47Okay, Daddy
00:30:48I'll listen
00:30:50Get off me!
00:30:53Ella!
00:30:54Look at me!
00:30:55I'm ordering you to turn around!
00:31:07Sir, we pulled Ms. Bennett's file
00:31:09We had to bypass the board's standard review
00:31:11And use security privileges to get this data
00:31:24What the hell does citizenship revocation mean?
00:31:27According to the experimental brief we obtained
00:31:28The program requires volunteers to enter the subatomic cryopod
00:31:32Once the procedure starts
00:31:33The volunteer's metabolic functions will drop to a complete stamp still
00:31:36Legally speaking, she will be declared deceased
00:31:39Get the jet ready!
00:31:41I will not let her go through with this!
00:31:53Caleb, in such a rush to see your little pet
00:31:56Don't forget, I'm your fiancé
00:31:58Get out of my way, Serena
00:32:00I won't warn you twice
00:32:02Per the pre-enodule agreement's default close
00:32:05If you leave right now
00:32:06Thorn Global Group's stock will plummet faster than you can faddle
00:32:10My family will pull all funding immediately
00:32:12And that precious business empire of yours will crumble to dust in an instant
00:32:24Take off!
00:32:26Take off!
00:32:27Right now!
00:32:30Sir, Houston's been hit by a massive storm
00:32:32Houston airspace is closed
00:32:35A no-fly order has been issued
00:32:36All private routes to and from the space base are cancelled indefinitely
00:32:41God damn it!
00:32:50Step back, Mr. Thorne
00:32:52This is federal military restricted property
00:32:54No entry is permitted
00:32:55Move!
00:32:56Get Ella Bennett out here right now
00:32:58I'm her legal guardian
00:32:59Per the Federal Asset Protection Agreement
00:33:01Dr. Bennett is now classified as National Scientific Research Property
00:33:05She has signed on to Project Absolute Zero
00:33:07And no one has the right to interfere
00:33:10Property!
00:33:11I raised her for 16 years
00:33:13Everything she is
00:33:14Everything she has is mine
00:33:16You dare tell me I have no rights?
00:33:18Remember this
00:33:19You're my most perfect investment
00:33:22Everything you are is mine
00:33:24Caleb
00:33:25Caleb
00:33:25I'm yours
00:33:26I'll never leave you
00:33:30Daddy
00:33:31Please
00:33:32Say master
00:33:33I'll tear this whole facility down if I have to
00:33:35I'm taking her with me today
00:33:40You can't take her anymore, Caleb
00:33:44Elliot
00:33:45You're just her old college classmate
00:33:47What makes you think you can stop me?
00:33:48Open this gate
00:33:49And give my girl back
00:33:52Your girl
00:33:53She's a brilliant biophysics PhD
00:33:55Not your personal pet to lock away
00:33:57I'm her sugar daddy
00:33:58I'm the one who gave her every luxury she's ever had
00:34:01Without me, she would have died with her parents when she was 8 years old
00:34:05Tell her to get out here and see me
00:34:07You drove all the way across the country here throwing a fit
00:34:10Are you here as the daddy who bought her life?
00:34:13Or as a man who lost the only woman he's ever loved?
00:34:20Next time you dare talk to another man behind my back
00:34:22This punishment will be the least of your worries
00:34:26Caleb
00:34:27What am I to you, really?
00:34:30What is she to you, Caleb?
00:34:33I...
00:34:36What is she to you?
00:34:40I...
00:34:44Caleb
00:34:46I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore
00:34:49I want to stand by your side
00:34:50In the light
00:34:53When you get that official offer from the Ivy League
00:34:55I'll get it!
00:34:56You have to keep your promise!
00:35:00I'm her guardian
00:35:02I can't just stand by and watch her die
00:35:05She's already in the near absolute zero subatomic scanning pod
00:35:08Her vital signs are frozen in stasis
00:35:10Forever
00:35:12How could it happen so fast?
00:35:13This is how she's cutting every last tie to you, Caleb
00:35:16You've lost her
00:35:17Forever
00:35:32The agents won't hold him off for long
00:35:34The base already received a legal notice from Thorne Global Group
00:35:38This is the last transatlantic flight out tonight
00:35:42You can still back out of the experiment
00:35:44You don't have to throw your life away to get back at a madman
00:35:47Geneva
00:35:49To go be another socialite in a couture gown there?
00:35:52You can start over
00:35:53Elliot
00:35:54My soul died on my 24th birthday
00:36:01That creopod
00:36:03It's the perfect fit for this soulless body of mine
00:36:11I don't care what you have to do
00:36:12I want Project Absolute Zero's funding dried up in five minutes
00:36:16Sir, this is a federal government-backed project
00:36:19Then buy up every last debt this lab owes
00:36:22Cut their power
00:36:23Freeze every single research account
00:36:25If she wants to lock herself in that freezer
00:36:27I'll smash it to pieces
00:36:30No one takes her from me
00:36:32Not even death
00:36:38Sir, we ran it all down
00:36:40Ms. Bennett sold every property
00:36:42Every piece of jewelry you ever gave her
00:36:44Including that vintage Pathé Fear Ape watch
00:36:50She sold that watch?
00:36:53Yes, sir
00:36:55She put all the cash from the sales into an anonymous trust in your name
00:36:58The entire sum has been donated to the families of the victims from the lab explosion at Thorn Global Group
00:37:05Sixteen years ago
00:37:07She gave everything back
00:37:08Every last thing
00:37:09Used it to sever the final thread between us
00:37:16Caleb
00:37:17What the hell is going on?
00:37:19The designer has been waiting for two hours
00:37:22Where the hell is Ella?
00:37:24She bailed on the bridesmaid fitting
00:37:25And I look like a fool
00:37:26You froze her card, so go find her and make her whole train
00:37:30Dress?
00:37:32Looking like a fool?
00:37:39Merger?
00:37:40Orders?
00:37:41I threw the only woman I've ever loved into a grave for this meaningless garbage
00:37:46Let go of me
00:37:47Your disgusting face isn't worth a single hair on her head
00:37:54Have you lost your mind?
00:37:56I'm your fiancé
00:37:57How dare you treat me like this?
00:37:59Get out
00:37:59The engagement's off
00:38:01I don't want to see your face ever again
00:38:05Get the finance team in here
00:38:07Mr. Thorn
00:38:07What are you planning?
00:38:09Sell every share in the group
00:38:10Liquidate every asset to my name
00:38:12I'm buying the lab
00:38:14I want full control of that cryopod
00:38:16You can't run from me, Ella
00:38:19I told you
00:38:20Without my permission
00:38:21Even death can't take you away from me
00:38:25Mr. Thorn
00:38:31Today's proceedings are closed
00:38:33Only invited scientific delegates and official media are permitted entry
00:38:38Closed
00:38:3970% of the liquid helium cooling patents used in Project Absolute Zero belong to Thorn Global Group
00:38:47I'm here as the lead sponsor and patent holder to inspect my assets
00:38:52But Dr. Hayes specifically instructed
00:38:54Listen to me
00:38:56I don't care what Hayes said
00:38:57Move
00:39:00Or in five, five minutes
00:39:01My legal team will file a mandatory injunction to the federal court
00:39:05And cut the power to the entire court facility
00:39:25Please don't
00:39:31Good afternoon
00:39:32Today, Project Absolute Zero officially enters its live testing phase
00:39:37As the first test subject for the deep cryo hibernation pod
00:39:41I'd like to deliver my final project briefing here
00:39:44I chose this project to carry on my parents' legacy in biophysics
00:39:50The experimental data they left unfinished will be continued by me when I wake
00:39:57Thank you to NASCA for the equipment support
00:40:00And to my mentor, Dr. Arthur
00:40:04A special thank you to researcher Elliot Hayes
00:40:07I never would have made it this far without you
00:40:12I have cut every last tie to my past
00:40:15My research and this body belong to the future
00:40:18Briefing complete
00:40:24Ella
00:40:37Mr. Thorne
00:40:39Don't move
00:40:39This facility is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense
00:40:45Move
00:40:46She's mine
00:40:47You have no right to take her from me
00:40:50Ella
00:40:51Look at me
00:40:52The wedding's off
00:40:54Don't go in there
00:41:01Come home with me
00:41:03Daddy will take you away anything you want
00:41:06Happy wedding, Daddy
00:41:11Once this locks in, it's 20 years
00:41:14Are you sure about this?
00:41:16Start it
00:41:21Ella
00:41:21Ella
00:41:28Sir, we found out what happened
00:41:30The reason the lab was able to push through the experiment despite your freeze order
00:41:34Is because someone filed federal approval on their behalf
00:41:38Who?
00:41:39It was Miss Serena Huntington
00:41:40She used her family's political connections to greenlight the lab
00:41:44Roll the cameras
00:41:46Mr. Thorne is simply suffering from exhaustion from the recent merger
00:41:50He's resting up well
00:41:51Our engagement ceremony will proceed as scheduled
00:41:55Get out
00:41:56The press is right outside
00:41:57If you throw a fit now
00:41:59The group's stock will crash
00:42:02Let every reporter outside in here
00:42:04Now
00:42:06I'm only here to announce two things today
00:42:15First, the engagement is off
00:42:17Effective immediately
00:42:18Thorne Global Group is severing all business ties with the Huntington family
00:42:22Second, I will be liquidating my entire personal stake in the company
00:42:26With all proceeds going to the continued research of Project Absolute Zero
00:42:34Caleb
00:42:34The default penalties for this manateral breach are astronomical
00:42:40Save your breath
00:42:42My legal team submitted all evidence of the Huntington family's offshore fund manipulation to the SEC half an hour ago
00:42:48The FBI should be raiding your father's office right about now
00:42:51You can worry about the default penalties when you're paying your family's legal fees
00:42:55Have you lost your mind?
00:42:57You're gonna take down two entire conglomerates for that woman?
00:43:01You're the one who locked her in that pod
00:43:03I locked her in there?
00:43:04Who are you trying to fool with this lovesick act, Caleb?
00:43:07Did I force her to sign that agreement?
00:43:09Was I the one who, in front of all of New York's high society
00:43:13shoved that peanut butter salad down her throat
00:43:15and watched her choke and go into an anaphylactic shock?
00:43:18You treated her like a dog you could kick around whenever you wanted
00:43:21You're the one who drove her to this
00:43:23She'd rather freeze herself solid than look at you ever again
00:43:27Don't pin this on me, Caleb
00:43:28You know better than anyone
00:43:30The person she hates most in this world is you
00:43:33Get out!
00:43:34All of you!
00:43:35Get out!
00:43:44Mr. Thorne, if we move forward with this liquidation
00:43:47The 60-year legacy of Thorne Global Gleam will be gone in an instant
00:43:51This is suicide!
00:43:53I want cash
00:43:54Nothing else
00:43:55Have you lost your mind, Caleb?
00:43:57You are gonna dissolve the entire conglomerate for this dead-end cryo project?
00:44:00As far as I am concerned, this entire conglomerate is not worth a single breath of liquid nitrogen for her
00:44:06Liquidate every factory, every patent
00:44:08I want the cash in my account by sundown
00:44:13Mr. Thorne, this the sum is enough to buy three space agencies
00:44:17Effective immediately, Ms. Bennett cryopod is under exclusive monitoring protocols
00:44:21Exclusive?
00:44:22That means no one gets near her but me
00:44:24No exceptions
00:44:26Yes, sir
00:44:26All personnel, including Dr. Hayes
00:44:30Are prohibited from entering a five-mile radius of the monitoring station
00:44:33Without your explicit authorization
00:44:40See, Ella
00:44:42I told you
00:44:44You cannot run from me without my permission
00:45:09Ella
00:45:16Caleb
00:45:17It hurts
00:45:19Be a good girl
00:45:22I know
00:45:24Caleb
00:45:25I only have you
00:45:27Daddy, please
00:45:28Don't leave me
00:45:30Never leave me
00:45:37I will never leave you
00:45:40You hear me
00:45:41Not until the day I die
00:45:43You are stuck with me
00:45:45For the rest of your life
00:45:49It is okay
00:45:50You sleep
00:45:52I am not going anywhere
00:45:55I am right here
00:45:57Waiting for you
00:46:20They say the snow will bury us all
00:46:22But I think it's just the beginning
00:46:30Shit
00:46:41Open
00:46:44Goddammit, open
00:46:47She can't die
00:47:00You're mine
00:47:01You're mine
00:47:02No one can take you from me
00:47:08Mr. Thorne
00:47:09This violates every ethical review
00:47:12Buying the first right of custody over a test subject
00:47:15It makes her your personal property
00:47:17My foundation will fund this project in full, indefinitely
00:47:25On one condition
00:47:26Only I can wake her up
00:47:29Even if she's nothing but a corpse
00:47:31She's my corpse

00:48:43Caleb.
00:48:52Caleb.
00:48:56Dad.
00:49:25Don't go, take me with you!
00:49:31Go back Ella, finish Project Dusk Homecoming, clear your name.
00:49:48I'm still here.
00:49:59Ella, I can't hold on much longer.
00:50:22No!
00:50:24You cannot leave me!
00:50:47Ella Bennett.
00:50:48We did it.
00:50:50Welcome to 20 years later.
00:50:58Elliot.
00:50:59I am here.
00:51:00I want to start new research.
00:51:02I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:51:06I want to start new research.
00:51:08I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:51:37The board wants to see the data by Friday.
00:51:39I'm on it.
00:51:43I saw the report.
00:51:47Caleb.
00:51:48I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore.
00:51:51I want to stand by your side, in the light.
00:51:55Today's my 24th birthday.
00:51:57I got the faculty offer from Fairkitch.
00:52:01You said once I had it, you'd consider us...
00:52:05I spent millions raising you.
00:52:07And this is how you repay me?
00:52:08With this filthy little scheme?
00:52:24I spent millions raising you.
00:52:46And this is how you repay me.
00:52:47What's wrong with this janitor?
00:52:49Is he sick?
00:52:50He's coughing up blood, looks like.
00:52:56Are you alright?
00:52:57Are you alright?
00:52:58You should go to the infirmary.
00:53:07These hands are only for painting me.
00:53:10Or pleasing me.
00:53:16Daddy.
00:53:17Not here.
00:53:18Leave him be, Ella.
00:53:20He's probably scared.
00:53:25Come on, we're gonna be late for the meeting.
00:53:28I'm so sorry.
00:53:30I'm so sorry.
00:53:31I'm so sorry.
00:53:36I'm so sorry.
00:53:36If we plug this set of variables into the absolute zero field,
00:53:40the underlying code logic it gets completely rewritten.
00:53:43Ellicott, we were right about the original direction of the deduction.
00:53:47Your intuition is incredible, Ella.
00:53:49Once we fill in this data,
00:53:51we can prove the explosion all those years ago was deliberate sabotage.
00:54:19You bought the entire Alaska experimental base through dozens of shell companies.
00:54:25You sold off every share of Thorpe Global Group,
00:54:28spent every last dime to keep her life support running.
00:54:31The once untouchable king of Wall Street.
00:54:33Now hiding in a janitor's closet, mopping her floors.
00:54:37Why are you hiding from her, Caleb?
00:54:39Don't tell her.
00:54:40You spent 20 years of your life for this, just to be a janitor?
00:54:47Just let her think I'm still in Manhattan,
00:54:50living the high life with Serena.
00:54:52Please.
00:54:53Don't tell her.
00:54:54Look at me now, Elliot.
00:54:56I'll only sicken her like this.
00:55:15don't tell her to be,
00:55:31Remember this deletion.
00:55:38Who wrote this?
00:55:40The deduction is flawless.
00:55:42I'm a coward.
00:55:44What?
00:55:45Forget it. We'll redo it with our own data.
00:56:28We'll redo it with our own data.
00:56:31He can't buy my forgiveness with money.
00:56:34Never.
00:56:46Serena Huntington?
00:56:50Ella Bennett.
00:56:52Twenty whole years.
00:56:53And you haven't aged a day.
00:56:56How the hell is that fair?
00:56:58What happened to the Huntington family princess?
00:57:01Didn't Caleb get you a good stylist?
00:57:04Caleb?
00:57:05You actually thought he married me?
00:57:07Let go of me. You're drunk.
00:57:09The second you stepped into that cryopod,
00:57:11that lunatic tore up the engagement in front of everyone.
00:57:15He burned every bridge with the Huntington family.
00:57:18He sold off every core share of Thornt Global,
00:57:20even mortgaged the Hampton estate,
00:57:22poured every last cent into that goddamned cryo project.
00:57:25He went bankrupt,
00:57:26ended up half paralyzed,
00:57:27turned into a no-bill dog
00:57:28just to keep your vitals going.
00:57:30What are you so proud of, Ella?
00:57:32You think you ever paid him back?
00:57:33Caleb?
00:57:51Mr. Thorne.
00:57:56Mr. Thorne,
00:57:57Ella's attachment to you has gone far beyond normal bounds.
00:57:59This is a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome.
00:58:02I gave her the best of everything Manhattan has to offer.
00:58:05But you have also stripped her of the chance to grow as an independent person.
00:58:09If you do not push her away,
00:58:10cut off this toxic dynamic,
00:58:12she will never be anything more than your accessories.
00:58:14You have to be the villain.
00:58:15You have to shatter every last fantasy she has about you.
00:58:25So that is what this was?
00:58:34Caleb Thorne.
00:58:36That engagement was just a business deal between me and Caleb.
00:58:40He bailed my family out of financial ruin,
00:58:43and I helped him break your heart for good.
00:58:46That peanut butter salad wasn't Caleb's doing.
00:58:49It was all a mistake.
00:59:05Open the archives.
00:59:07Now!
00:59:08You'll regret seeing this, Ella.
00:59:09I said open it!
00:59:10I want to see everything Caleb left behind.
00:59:12All of it!
00:59:17All of it!
00:59:23It's not possible.
00:59:26They were all supposed to be gone.
00:59:30Stop it!
00:59:32Open!
00:59:34God damn it, open!
00:59:38She can't die!
00:59:41She can't die!
00:59:54Why?
00:59:56Why didn't you let me die 20 years ago?
01:00:04Why did you take away my right to even hate you?
01:00:09I can't do this.
01:00:11I can't do this.
01:00:15Hello?
01:00:27What is this?
01:00:29Trust fund beneficiary change?
01:00:32Manhattan deed?
01:00:3420 years.
01:00:37But that's the day I woke up.
01:00:41Today's my 24th birthday.
01:00:43I got the faculty offer from Fair Kitsch.
01:00:47You said once I had it, you'd consider us.
01:00:52I spent millions raising you.
01:00:54And this is how you repay me?
01:00:55With this filthy little scheme?
01:00:57I just love you, Caleb.
01:00:58Love?
01:00:59You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around.
01:01:02You read a few books,
01:01:03and you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
01:01:11You think these worthless pieces of paper can make up for what you did to me?
01:01:30No.
01:01:31This isn't real.
01:01:37I'll wake you up.
01:01:39I swear I will.
01:01:46I'm sorry, Ella.
01:01:48I spent the gift money on a backup power supply for your pod.
01:01:51Short 3K for maintenance today.
01:01:53Sold the watch.
01:01:55You idiot!
01:01:56You think giving me everything will make me forgive you?
01:02:02Hide well, Daddy.
01:02:03Daddy, I'm coming for you.
01:02:09Ms. Bennett, sign here,
01:02:12and the experimental base Mr. Thocker owns will be legally transferred to you.
01:02:23Congratulations, Ms. Bennett.
01:02:25You are now the youngest tycoon in New York.
01:02:34Mrs. Bennett,
01:02:35Mr. Thorn told me not to say anything,
01:02:37but I have to.
01:02:38He did not leave because he wanted to.
01:02:40He just,
01:02:40he did not know how to face you,
01:02:4224 and perfect,
01:02:44with his broken,
01:02:45old,
01:02:45paralyzed body.
01:02:52Genius astrophysicist Ella Bennett,
01:02:54who was frozen for 20 years,
01:02:55has announced her return to the public eye.
01:02:58Wall Street sources say
01:02:59she has inherited a mysterious fortune,
01:03:01making her New York Sueist financial palichore.
01:03:04Food is here.
01:03:05Just soup today.
01:03:09Ella Bennett.
01:03:28This is all Daddy has left to give you.
01:03:37Fly free, kitty.
01:03:38Don't let these rotting bones
01:03:41sully your eyes.
01:03:50It is right here, ma'am.
01:03:52Get lost.
01:04:02Who told you to come here?
01:04:05Get out!
01:04:06Get out!
01:04:14Go away.
01:04:17Don't look.
01:04:20Stop it.
01:04:22Where did you think you'd run to, Caleb?
01:04:24You spent 20 years and every last cent
01:04:26to trap me in this body.
01:04:28Now you think you can just walk away?
01:04:30I have nothing left.
01:04:33You still have your life.
01:04:37You're crazy.
01:04:39You've lost your mind.
01:04:45You don't get to die without my permission.
01:04:49Get Mr. Thorne in the car.
01:04:51Gentle.
01:04:52Don't hurt his legs.
01:04:53Ella Bennett.
01:04:55You can't do this.
01:04:58Don't be scared, Daddy.
01:05:00From today on, I'm the one taking care of you.
01:05:13What the hell is this?
01:05:15You're awake.
01:05:19Get that off.
01:05:21I don't need it.
01:05:29Don't bother fighting it.
01:05:31From now on, I decide everything about you.
01:05:41Look at me.
01:05:43You don't get to look away in this room.
01:05:47What are you hiding from?
01:05:49No.
01:05:51You can't handle this already?
01:05:54Aye.
01:05:57Eyes closed.
01:06:01What are you...
01:06:03You didn't actually think I wanted your old, broken body, did you, Caleb?
01:06:09Don't touch me.
01:06:24No.
01:06:34Hello, Caleb.
01:06:35Get out.
01:06:37Should I call the nurse in?
01:06:38No.
01:06:39Wait for me outside.
01:06:41Got it.
01:06:46What are you throwing a fit about?
01:06:49Why did you bring him here?
01:06:51I'm not even dead yet,
01:06:53and you're already rushing to bring another man into our home!
01:07:01Are you jealous?
01:07:03I'm not.
01:07:04Be with whoever you want.
01:07:05I don't care.
01:07:12Elliot's staying the night.
01:07:13Remember what you said,
01:07:14and keep quiet.
01:07:32No, she is mine,
01:07:35and mine alone!
01:07:44God, I know I am a sinner.
01:07:46All those years ago,
01:07:48I used my power and my money to lure that innocent girl in.
01:07:52I ruined her.
01:07:55But I cannot bring myself to wish her happiness.
01:08:00I cannot stand to watch her walk away to another man.
01:08:03I want to drag her back into this dark room with me,
01:08:07even if I am nothing but a broken old man now.
01:08:14Come back.
01:08:18Come back.
01:08:40Come back.
01:08:41Was that convincing enough for you?
01:08:43Mr. Thorne,
01:08:51Mr. Thorne,
01:08:51these are the medical decision-making power and full guardianship documents.
01:08:55Once you sign,
01:08:56every second of the rest of your life,
01:08:58even the right to live or die,
01:09:01will belong to Mrs. Bennet.
01:09:03I'm all yours now.
01:09:05Do whatever you want to get your revenge.
01:09:07I'll take it all.
01:09:08Everyone out.
01:09:20If only you'd surrendered sooner, Daddy.
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:26I surrender.
01:09:32Look.
01:09:33It's the same view we had from the penthouse over Central Park.
01:09:37Time stood still there.
01:09:38Just like the 20 years I waited for you.
01:09:54What are you looking at?
01:09:57Daddy, I'm looking at Manhattan.
01:09:58It's so bright at night.
01:10:03Every light in Manhattan will shine for you, baby girl.
01:10:18When Elik looks at you, I want him gone.
01:10:21You can't even stand up on your own.
01:10:23How are you going to make him disappear?
01:10:26I know this body's failing me.
01:10:30But when I see him touch you,
01:10:32it feels like there's a fire burning in my chest.
01:10:38I'm jealous of every man that gets to hold you.
01:10:42Hell, I'm even jealous of the wind outside
01:10:44because it gets to touch you.
01:10:47So tell me now,
01:10:49was it worth it?
01:10:51Trading 20 years of your life
01:10:53And every last cent you had to wake me up?
01:10:56Worth it.
01:10:57I told you,
01:10:58no one takes you from me without my permission.
01:11:05It's still beating.
01:11:08Every beat is a reminder that you're a sinner.
01:11:10Then let this sinner
01:11:12rot in your hell for eternity.
01:11:16Even when it stops beating,
01:11:18you don't get to run.
01:11:20Your ashes are going to sit on my nightstand.
01:11:24You owe me a debt,
01:11:25and you're going to pay it with your soul.
01:11:29Okay.
01:11:31My life,
01:11:32my soul,
01:11:33it's all yours.
01:11:35It's all yours.
01:11:50Are you cold?
01:11:52No.
01:11:59You shouldn't have brought me here.
01:12:02Everyone's staring at you
01:12:03carrying a paralyzed old man.
01:12:05Then let them stare.
01:12:06Let them see.
01:12:09When you were 12,
01:12:10I brought you here.
01:12:11You stared at the cotton candy stand for ages.
01:12:15You bought the whole cart,
01:12:17but wouldn't let me have a single bite.
01:12:19I've always been a controlling bastard.
01:12:23It's too late to admit that now.
01:12:30What did the doctor say to you?
01:12:32Why'd you bring me out here today?
01:12:34The doctor said your vitals are stable.
01:12:37Okay.
01:12:38I'll listen to you always.
01:12:39Back then,
01:12:40I always walked ahead,
01:12:42handling business.
01:12:43And I always followed three steps behind you.
01:12:46You don't have to chase my shadow anymore.
01:12:50You're not going anywhere, Caleb.
01:12:58On your 18th birthday,
01:12:59you talked back to me.
01:13:00So I locked you in the penthouse for three days.
01:13:03After that,
01:13:04I sent my assistant here to pick out
01:13:05the biggest pink diamond they had for you.
01:13:08You always tried to shut me up with checks and jewelry.
01:13:11Bought my silence with money.
01:13:13Back then,
01:13:14I didn't know how to keep you.
01:13:17All I knew how to do
01:13:18was the stupidest,
01:13:19most hurtful thing possible.
01:13:22Wait here for me.
01:13:31Ella, get up.
01:13:33Ella,
01:13:34what are you doing?
01:13:35Get up.
01:13:36I'm a broken old man.
01:13:39I can't give you a future.
01:13:41Once you locked me up with your money,
01:13:43now I'm locking your soul up with this ring.
01:13:48You owe me 20 years.
01:13:51You can never pay it back in this lifetime.
01:13:54This ring is a mark.
01:13:56Even when you die,
01:13:57your soul is mine.
01:14:03Caleb,
01:14:04you're my only home.
01:14:13Mr. Thorne,
01:14:14this is the subatomic Decian authorization
01:14:15you requested.
01:14:17Once activated,
01:14:18your remains will be converted
01:14:19into energy particles
01:14:20of specific wavelength
01:14:21dispersed into the universe.
01:14:31Ella.
01:14:34I'm here.
01:14:36The doctor said
01:14:37hearing is the last sense
01:14:39to go when you die.
01:14:41I'll keep talking to you
01:14:43right here
01:14:44until you can't hear me anymore.
01:14:50I trapped you here
01:14:52and now I'm running away first.
01:14:58You signed the papers.
01:15:00You can't run away.
01:15:04I'm going to become
01:15:05a wavelength now.
01:15:06So when the wind blows,
01:15:08when the snow falls,
01:15:09when you look up
01:15:09at the night sky,
01:15:11that'll be me
01:15:12watching over you.
01:15:14You'll always be with me
01:15:16no matter what form you take.
01:15:17You'll always be mine.
01:15:19I love you.
01:15:21Caleb loves Ella.
01:15:44may he rest in peace.
01:15:46Goodbye, Caleb.
01:15:48we'll miss you.
01:15:51I love you.
01:15:57Ms. Bennett,
01:15:58the funeral's over.
01:15:59The press is all outside
01:16:01and the Thorn Global Board
01:16:02is expecting you to show up soon
01:16:04to stabilize the stock price.
01:16:06Let them wait.
01:16:07Your clothes are soaked through.
01:16:09Before he passed,
01:16:11Mr. Thorn told me
01:16:12to take care of you
01:16:13no matter what.
01:16:14He's dead.
01:16:16You don't have to follow
01:16:17his orders anymore.
01:16:20But...
01:16:21Take the umbrella and leave.
01:16:32You think dying means
01:16:33I can't find you anymore?
01:16:59I can't believe it.
01:17:01How did you...
01:17:14Ella,
01:17:15if you are reading this,
01:17:17I am dead
01:17:18and you are awake.
01:17:20That night at the dinner party,
01:17:21watching you choke
01:17:22and collapse,
01:17:23that was the worst mistake
01:17:24of my life.
01:17:25But I do not regret it.
01:17:27You had the same fire
01:17:28in your eyes
01:17:28as your parents.
01:17:29You did not deserve
01:17:30to be locked up
01:17:31in a penthouse in Manhattan,
01:17:32a pet that only survived
01:17:34by clinging to me.
01:17:35If pushing you away
01:17:36was the only way
01:17:37to save you,
01:17:38I would be the devil
01:17:40a thousand times over.
01:17:45Go finish the work
01:17:47your parents started.
01:17:48That is where
01:17:49your soul belongs.
01:17:51Do not look back.
01:17:52Jack, I will be with you always
01:17:55in the subatomic particles
01:17:57forever by your side.
01:18:00The letter was written in code,
01:18:02a language only the two of them
01:18:04could understand.
01:18:05It was a desperate plea
01:18:07for help,
01:18:08a last-ditch effort
01:18:09to save the woman he loved.
01:18:13I just...
01:18:15I can't do this alone.
01:18:28This is your fourth
01:18:29all-nighter in a row.
01:18:30I've put all of Caleb's
01:18:31secret funding
01:18:32and unpublished patents
01:18:33up as collateral
01:18:33for this project.
01:18:34The money's burning fast.
01:18:35We need results
01:18:36before the board stages a co.
01:18:37The subatomic noise data
01:18:38collected over those
01:18:3920 years in crypto
01:18:40is massive.
01:18:41Reverse engineering
01:18:42the logical flaws
01:18:42in the explosion 16 years ago
01:18:44is going to take
01:18:44a long time to compute.
01:18:45We keep missing 0.02%
01:18:47on the critical value
01:18:48for the high-energy
01:18:49particle stabilization experiment.
01:18:51That's the exact same number
01:18:52my parents got stuck
01:18:53on 16 years ago.
01:18:54There's a flaw
01:18:55in the base logic.
01:18:56Go sleep in the lounge
01:18:57for two hours.
01:18:58I'll watch the data.
01:19:00No.
01:19:01This is my work.
01:19:03You go cross-check
01:19:03the fluctuation frequency
01:19:05on the B-group perimeter.
01:19:06I'll build the core model.
01:19:07Got it.
01:19:08Call me if anything comes up.
01:19:23My god.
01:19:25Project Lazarus.
01:19:27It's happening.
01:19:34You look
01:19:34I'm gonna did to say it.
01:19:36It were not
01:19:37do frang to any
01:19:37in Sol's
01:19:38his just to have
01:19:39a the commander.
01:19:40Enough, Ella.
01:19:41Look at yourself.
01:19:43Are you trying
01:19:43to avenge your parents
01:19:44or join them in death?
01:19:53I am not trying to die.
01:19:55I found something.
01:19:58This is a reconstruction
01:20:00of the final 10 seconds
01:20:01of my parents' experiment
01:20:0316 years ago.
01:20:04Someone manually implanted
01:20:06a catastrophic code
01:20:08into the base system
01:20:09which caused the explosion.
01:20:11So this was not
01:20:13a scientific accident.
01:20:14It was murder?
01:20:15It was.
01:20:17Did Mr. Thorne
01:20:18did he know about this?
01:20:21If he was the mastermind
01:20:23he never would have saved me.
01:20:24But he definitely
01:20:25knew something.
01:20:26Where are you going?
01:20:29To find the truth.
01:20:38Physical restoration
01:20:39is complete.
01:20:41This is the last
01:20:42communication record
01:20:43pulled from the wreckage
01:20:44of the backup server
01:20:45from 16 years ago.
01:20:46Play it.
01:20:47If they won't sell
01:20:48the tech
01:20:48then we make it
01:20:49disappear with
01:20:50the genius couple.
01:20:52Clean it up.
01:20:53No loose ends.
01:20:56So that's what happened.
01:20:58What?
01:20:59All these years
01:21:00Caleb thought
01:21:01it was a flaw
01:21:01in his lab system
01:21:02that killed my parents
01:21:03indirectly.
01:21:06Arthur didn't just
01:21:06kill my parents.
01:21:08He used it
01:21:09to make Caleb live
01:21:09with guilt
01:21:10for the rest of his life.
01:21:11Oh my God.
01:21:13That's it.
01:21:15I'm not letting him
01:21:16get away with this.
01:21:21You're moving in
01:21:21for the takedown?
01:21:22Yeah.
01:21:23I'm going to make him
01:21:24pay back every cent
01:21:26of this 40 year
01:21:26blood debt
01:21:27with interest.
01:21:28seal all the
01:21:30original evidence
01:21:31and code.
01:21:33Max out the
01:21:34encryption level.
01:21:42Today,
01:21:43on behalf of
01:21:44Thornt Industries,
01:21:45I am proud to unveil
01:21:47this groundbreaking
01:21:48particle stabilization
01:21:49technology to the world.
01:21:54Before you steal
01:21:55someone's life's work,
01:21:56Mr. Sterling,
01:21:57shouldn't you check
01:21:57if the rightful heir
01:21:58is still alive?
01:21:59Security,
01:22:00get her out of here.
01:22:02If they won't sell
01:22:03the tech,
01:22:04then we make it disappear
01:22:05with the genius couple.
01:22:07Clean it up,
01:22:08no loose ends.
01:22:0916 years ago,
01:22:11you hacked into
01:22:12my parents' lab,
01:22:13stole their algorithm,
01:22:15and implanted
01:22:15a catastrophic code
01:22:17into the base system.
01:22:18You locked the
01:22:18backup cooling valves,
01:22:20causing that
01:22:20irreversible explosion.
01:22:22Ridiculous!
01:22:23A fake simulation
01:22:24and a docked audio
01:22:25clip won't convict me!
01:22:27The encrypted
01:22:27transfer pads
01:22:28for your stolen data,
01:22:29the offshore account
01:22:31flows for your
01:22:31stock shortage,
01:22:32federal prosecutors
01:22:33already have all of it.
01:22:40You think taking me down
01:22:41will bring
01:22:41Thorne Global
01:22:42back from the dead?
01:22:49Arthur Sterling,
01:22:51everything you lost
01:22:53today
01:22:53is just the interest.
01:23:06It's over,
01:23:07Ella.
01:23:12Let's go.
01:23:21The Thorne Global
01:23:22Board voted unanimously.
01:23:23The Caleb Thorne
01:23:24Research Fund,
01:23:25named after Mr. Thorne,
01:23:27will officially
01:23:27launch tomorrow.
01:23:28The Science and
01:23:29Technology Museum
01:23:29has cleared
01:23:30the Central Exhibition
01:23:31Hall.
01:23:34Send these
01:23:35over there.
01:23:45For Caleb,
01:23:47who saw the beauty
01:23:48in the broken.
01:23:49And for us,
01:23:50who are finally
01:23:51ready to remember.
01:24:00Arthur has been
01:24:01transferred to a
01:24:02maximum security prison,
01:24:03no bail.
01:24:04Thorne Global's
01:24:04stock is up
01:24:05five points today.
01:24:09Everything's
01:24:10back on track now.
01:24:11Ella, it's time
01:24:12for you to start
01:24:12your life over.
01:24:13This is my life
01:24:14now.
01:24:14You know
01:24:15what I mean.
01:24:16Ella,
01:24:17Caleb's gone.
01:24:19He's subatomic
01:24:20particles in the
01:24:20universe now.
01:24:21If you'll let me...
01:24:22As long as his
01:24:23wavelength is still
01:24:24out there,
01:24:24he's not gone.
01:24:41Ella, put your coat
01:24:43on.
01:24:47Your health
01:24:48belongs to me.
01:24:49Don't catch a cold.
01:24:50I'm not cold
01:24:51anymore, Daddy.
01:24:53once you locked
01:24:54me in that penthouse,
01:24:56controlling me
01:24:57with your love.
01:24:59This time,
01:25:00I'm the one
01:25:01locking you up
01:25:02in my signal.
01:25:09He kept
01:25:10transmitting this
01:25:11frequency into
01:25:12deep space
01:25:12for the entire
01:25:13twenty years
01:25:14I was frozen,
01:25:16trying to find
01:25:17a singularity
01:25:18in the universe,
01:25:20to fold time
01:25:21back on itself.
01:25:26Daddy,
01:25:27what are you
01:25:27looking at?
01:25:30At time.
01:25:31If time
01:25:32could be folded,
01:25:33so many things
01:25:34could be undone.
01:25:48Caleb,
01:25:49what exactly
01:25:49did you want
01:25:50me to hear?
01:25:53Is the agreement
01:25:54ready?
01:25:55Mr. Thorne,
01:25:56once you sign this,
01:25:57she will be entirely
01:25:58in your custody,
01:25:59but if you do this,
01:26:00she will hate you
01:26:01for the rest of her life.
01:26:03She has to hate me.
01:26:04Only if she hates me
01:26:06will she stay far away
01:26:07from the experiment
01:26:07my parents worked on.
01:26:09I can't let Arthur
01:26:10kill her, too.
01:26:12Lock her up.
01:26:13Even if she thinks
01:26:14I'm a monster,
01:26:15at least she'll be alive.
01:26:26I heard you,
01:26:28Caleb.
01:26:36Daddy.
01:26:37disengage the
01:26:38biosecurity lock.
01:26:40Force sync
01:26:40my consciousness
01:26:41frequency
01:26:42to the subatomic target.
01:26:44Warning.
01:26:45Force synchronization
01:26:46will result
01:26:46in brain death.
01:26:48Do you wish
01:26:48to proceed?
01:26:51Proceed.
01:26:58Daddy.
01:26:59Daddy.
01:27:04Daddy.
01:27:06Don't go.
01:27:08I'm not going anywhere.
01:27:11I'm not going anywhere.
01:27:20Caleb.
01:27:21I'm coming for you.
01:27:31There's nothing
01:27:34I'll be
01:27:35if I know
01:27:37that's mine.
01:27:39You
