00:00:00Okay, we have 45 minutes until our first client arrives.
00:00:10We need to get a move on.
00:00:11Chop, chop.
00:00:12Can you make sure that wine is decanted, please?
00:00:13It's our signature wine and always a favorite.
00:00:14Can we double check that there are no almonds in any of the recipes, please?
00:00:20Jack's client has a severe allergy.
00:00:23Oh, no.
00:00:29Let me handle this, madam.
00:00:30You've got old injuries on your wrist.
00:00:32It's fine.
00:00:33I spent ages working on this dessert.
00:00:34Oh, hello.
00:00:35Hello.
00:00:36God, this is disgusting.
00:00:37It looks like a poop emoji.
00:01:04Your standard is falling.
00:01:07Put your shit together.
00:01:08You've been married now for, what, six years?
00:01:11And you still dress like a maid.
00:01:12You haven't gleaned anything from our style.
00:01:13I never wanted you as a daughter-in-law in the first place.
00:01:19Jack's favorites.
00:01:20I bet you made them yourself, ma'am, because they're amazing.
00:01:25Where is Jack?
00:01:26She's a non-entity.
00:01:27How could she ever fit into our family?
00:01:33Anna is my wife now.
00:01:34Get used to her.
00:01:35I won't let anyone mistreat her.
00:01:36Not even you, Mother.
00:01:37This is our special day.
00:01:38I won't let her ruin it.
00:01:39You make me feel like the luckiest man alive.
00:01:40I'll always be yours.
00:02:07I never imagined that the person you swore to protect me would fall out of love with
00:02:12me.
00:02:21Jack!
00:02:32This is Sophie.
00:02:33She's a talented pianist, and she'll soon be teaching at the Central Music School.
00:02:38We're fortunate she's keen to elevate Lawrence's standing in the music world.
00:02:46Welcome home, Sophie.
00:02:48You look so radiant.
00:02:50And, Anna, you look so doughty.
00:02:56Don't you think so, Jack?
00:02:59This is a wonderful party.
00:03:02Thanks for the invite.
00:03:04You can put this in the cellar.
00:03:06It's rare.
00:03:09Oh, I love shrimp.
00:03:11Anna, would you be a dear and peel one for me?
00:03:14Captain's ruining my piano hands.
00:03:17Thank you, darling.
00:03:21Didn't you hear what Miss Sophie said?
00:03:24Remember, everything you have today is all thanks to us.
00:03:31Lawrence Wright, you're under arrest.
00:03:33Go and slip into something nice.
00:03:46Six years of marriage and humiliation for love?
00:03:51I don't recognize you anymore.
00:03:55You used to be a pianist, too, once.
00:03:58And a damn good one.
00:04:53Everyone says I'm lucky to marry into a rich family.
00:04:57Bullshit.
00:04:59No one even cares about what I want.
00:05:01I'm invisible.
00:05:03I have to host all of their grand parties, but I'm never introduced to the guests.
00:05:08And no one has even remembered that today is my birthday.
00:05:13Not even Jack.
00:05:21It's time for a change.
00:05:32Anna was just a street performer.
00:05:34No comparison to Sophie.
00:05:50Anna's gorgeous.
00:05:52Jack, you've been hiding her, huh?
00:05:59You wore that slutty dress on purpose, didn't you?
00:06:01I'm just following your orders, Jack.
00:06:04Robert seems to like it.
00:06:05Jack, come on.
00:06:07Anna ruined her hand and lost her career to save you.
00:06:12If it weren't for Jack, she'd be still stuck in that cheap apartment.
00:06:17You should be grateful.
00:06:19That accident actually saved your life.
00:06:22Your poor, lamentable life.
00:06:26Anna, you're disrupting the party.
00:06:29Apologize immediately to everyone.
00:06:32Be careful about your next move.
00:06:34Don't think that just because you saved me, I wouldn't consider divorcing you.
00:06:56And you didn't think I might consider divorcing you, Jack?
00:07:01Come on, Robert Moore.
00:07:19Bye-bye.
00:07:23Six years of a miserable marriage.
00:07:26I live only for me.
00:07:36The Santa's only been gone a day, and this whole place is falling apart.
00:07:41What's that damn marketing proposal I was working on?
00:07:53You have always forbidden us handling your business paperwork, sir.
00:07:56Miss Anna always handled that.
00:08:10Oh.
00:08:11Clean this up.
00:08:17It's time I did something about this.
00:08:21Freeze all of Anna's supplementary bank accounts.
00:08:26Let's see how long she can last without me.
00:08:29I've changed the rules.
00:08:30Clean this up.
00:08:34Where did you get all that money from?
00:08:37Did Jack give you a huge settlement?
00:08:39Don't forget, I used to be a pretty well-known pianist.
00:08:42Jack wouldn't part with a single cent.
00:08:44If you had that the whole time, why did you marry that jerk and take all that abuse?
00:08:50I was blind.
00:08:52I didn't love.
00:08:53At least I thought that I was.
00:08:55Not anymore.
00:08:57The money that I have may not be enough for a new house, but at least it's enough for a fresh start.
00:09:19She should have called me already.
00:09:49You couldn't stay away from me.
00:09:52I'm not going to forgive you that easily.
00:09:59Oh, Jack!
00:10:00What's wrong with you?
00:10:02It's not what you think.
00:10:03I was only going to cover you with a blanket.
00:10:06I'm sorry.
00:10:08I was overreacting.
00:10:11I'll get us some drinks.
00:10:29Hi.
00:10:30Piano lessons.
00:10:32Beautiful.
00:10:33Piano lessons with Anna.
00:10:35Piano lessons.
00:10:37Piano lessons.
00:10:40Aria's performance was amazing.
00:10:43That time in Vienna's Golden Hall, her solo performance turned it into a legend.
00:10:49Such a pity.
00:10:51She's been missing for six years.
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54I mean, no one really knows what she looks like or her real name.
00:10:57I mean, we've been doing this fan meet every year.
00:11:01Maybe she's here with us now.
00:11:32Sorry, do I know you?
00:11:34Uh, no.
00:11:37I'm sorry.
00:11:39I thought you were someone that I knew.
00:11:42The ink hasn't even dried on your divorce papers with my brother and you're already
00:11:46getting wet for a new toy boy.
00:11:48You're Ethan, right?
00:11:50Professor McNeil's assistant.
00:11:52We met at my graduation.
00:11:54May I?
00:11:57You're a pianist.
00:11:59Professor McNeil is looking for a musician to help her with her research project.
00:12:06And scholarship.
00:12:08Would you be interested in an interview?
00:12:11Wait.
00:12:12I'm a graduate at the conservatory.
00:12:15You should consider me.
00:12:17I'm a graduate of the conservatory.
00:12:21Wait.
00:12:22I'm a graduate of the conservatory.
00:12:25You should consider me.
00:12:27Professor McNeil is the most accomplished pianist that I know.
00:12:31What do you say?
00:12:34I'd love to.
00:12:43Jack, that ungrateful bitch Anna must have seduced some teacher to get her an interview
00:12:49with Professor McNeil.
00:12:51I should be on that list too.
00:12:53Even if I have to kill somebody to do it.
00:13:20Don't worry.
00:13:24I'll introduce you to Professor McNeil.
00:13:26Wow.
00:13:27You're pathetic.
00:13:29And that outfit is grotesque, by the way.
00:13:32You think you can buy a spot at the conservatorium?
00:13:35You're ridiculous.
00:13:37It takes years of practice to do what we do.
00:13:40Don't let Anna upset you.
00:13:42She's just a floozy.
00:13:43And Ethan will find out soon enough.
00:13:45Besides, Professor McNeil's waiting for us.
00:13:48Anna.
00:13:56Sorry, ladies.
00:13:58No entry without an invite.
00:14:00Do you know who I am?
00:14:02I'm calling my father.
00:14:03Could that be Aria?
00:14:05I heard she was coming back to study here.
00:14:07I don't think so.
00:14:08She's a wooden-headed idiot with no talent.
00:14:11She'll freeze up there.
00:14:14There's no one here worth considering.
00:14:17Why can't anyone be like her?
00:14:19I once had this student who was incredible.
00:14:22Born for music.
00:14:23I don't think I'm asking too much, am I?
00:14:26After her last performance six years ago,
00:14:29she just disappeared.
00:14:31Not a word, not a sign.
00:14:33You're talking about Aria, aren't you?
00:14:37Talent like her only comes around once.
00:14:41Talent like her only comes around once in a lifetime.
00:14:45I'll never see another talent like that again.
00:14:48Your expectation is way too high.
00:14:55Professor, there's someone here I'd like you to meet.
00:14:59Really?
00:15:11Just like that?
00:15:13You have the audacity to walk in here after what you did?
00:15:17I'm so sorry.
00:15:19You abandoned the piano without a word.
00:15:22You abandoned me without even a thank you.
00:15:26I bet Anna pissed off Professor McNeil.
00:15:30I told you.
00:15:32There's no way she could beat Aria.
00:15:34She's incapable of having a full, happy life.
00:15:37She's just a talentless divorcee striving to be famous.
00:15:41It's pitful.
00:15:47It's not that I didn't want to come and see you.
00:15:50Thank you for everything you did for me.
00:15:52It's just that...
00:15:54I couldn't.
00:16:07Where have you been for the last six years?
00:16:10Why did you vanish?
00:16:12I got injured and I couldn't see a way forward.
00:16:17I married a man, a billionaire.
00:16:21It was a huge mistake.
00:16:24That's all behind me now.
00:16:28I need to find myself again.
00:16:32Professor, music is all I have left.
00:16:36I can't lose that too.
00:16:40Please help me.
00:16:43Please give me one more chance.
00:16:47Alright.
00:16:49You're out of condition.
00:16:52Do you have what it takes to get back?
00:16:58I know a lot of great doctors.
00:17:01We'll make sure we heal your hand.
00:17:03I promise.
00:17:09Sophie has longs back.
00:17:11She's definitely going to get Professor McNeil to take her on as a student.
00:17:20Professor McNeil has decided to not take on any more students.
00:17:24This is all your fault.
00:17:26You malicious bitch.
00:17:28All you care about is yourself and your own miserable dreams.
00:17:33You're my worst nightmare.
00:17:37Don't you dare.
00:17:39I'm sorry.
00:17:41I'm sorry.
00:17:43I'm sorry.
00:17:45I'm sorry.
00:17:48Don't you dare.
00:17:50My hand.
00:17:51How could you hurt her on purpose?
00:17:53Lauren's a pianist.
00:17:55Don't you know how important her hands are?
00:17:57Anna, I know you got scolded by Professor McNeil, but that doesn't mean your whole career is over.
00:18:01Why do you have to be so mean to Lauren?
00:18:03Anna, the artistic world isn't for you anymore.
00:18:07If you beg me now, I might take you for one.
00:18:09Although I'm already having second thoughts.
00:18:11Save your imitation loveliness for someone who cares, Jack.
00:18:14I'm done talking to you.
00:18:16Anna, don't tell me you've stooped to selling your body to get ahead.
00:18:20Some parasites, living off their family's name, think that they can judge real artists.
00:18:28It's laughable.
00:18:43Hello?
00:18:47A full scholarship?
00:18:49I got it.
00:18:50I got it.
00:18:55You jealous bastard.
00:18:57Why can't you be happy for Anna once?
00:19:02Come on, Anna.
00:19:04I'll take you to your accommodation.
00:19:06You're a teaching assistant.
00:19:08Your wages are deplorable.
00:19:10What could you possibly offer Anna?
00:19:16You'll regret this.
00:19:31Aren't apartments usually unfurnished?
00:19:34Professor McNeil has arranged all of this for you.
00:19:37She hopes you'll settle in well.
00:19:40Here.
00:19:44I'm so grateful.
00:19:48After you.
00:19:55Sir, is there anything else that we should provide for Miss Anna?
00:19:59I've already made the necessary arrangements.
00:20:10Mozart.
00:20:12Not a bad way to start.
00:20:14Thank you for everything you've done for me.
00:20:16You're welcome.
00:20:18I forgot to mention.
00:20:20I live just next door, so if you need anything at all, feel free to reach out.
00:20:24You do?
00:20:33My neighbour.
00:20:40Anna.
00:20:54Maybe I misjudged her.
00:21:04Be careful.
00:21:09Seriously?
00:21:10I'm so sorry. I was just trying to make lunch.
00:21:12You're hopeless.
00:21:14You have to learn how to be a better wife, Anna.
00:21:18Your hands were made for piano playing.
00:21:22They just came back from a run.
00:21:24And I remembered that your fridge had soda.
00:21:27I've run out in mine.
00:21:29You know, these are a good source of protein.
00:21:32How are you settling in?
00:21:34Very well, thank you.
00:21:37Is there anything I can do for you?
00:21:42I'm fine.
00:21:52I trust you'll be careful with that.
00:22:07No!
00:22:14Did you call Anna about my heat stroke?
00:22:17Sir, that wasn't heat stroke.
00:22:19You can lie if you like.
00:22:21Anna's a smart girl, though.
00:22:23She's going to work out that something more sinister was going on.
00:22:26And yes, I called her, but she didn't answer her phone.
00:22:37No, sir, sir, sir. Sit.
00:22:48Anna, I knew you still cared about me.
00:22:52I've been thinking about us a lot.
00:22:55And I'm not mad at you anymore.
00:22:57Jack, what are you doing here?
00:23:00We're divorced now.
00:23:02I haven't thought about you in weeks.
00:23:04Get used to it.
00:23:16Anna!
00:23:26So it's taken a bit longer than expected, but there's still hope.
00:23:30With the right surgery, you'll make a full recovery.
00:23:34Thank you so much, Doctor.
00:23:45You've organized this top-tier specialist team for Anna.
00:23:48Why have you kept this information from her?
00:23:51Why?
00:23:53Because affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:23:56We often do things for the ones we truly care about
00:23:59that we wouldn't necessarily do for Anna.
00:24:02That we wouldn't necessarily do.
00:24:32I love you.
00:25:02I love you.
00:25:23I think...
00:25:25it might be love.
00:25:28Well, Anna can't really handle this.
00:25:33She says she's having a stroke.
00:25:37Who knew this could turn into such a goddamn disaster?
00:25:41She definitely told them to not be amenable.
00:25:45I know it, I know it!
00:25:50She wants to ruin our reputation.
00:25:53It's all right, girl.
00:25:55It's all right, girl.
00:25:57Hey, excuse me, I haven't finished talking.
00:26:10So we've got more vegetarians than we thought.
00:26:13We didn't prepare enough dishes.
00:26:15Fuck!
00:26:16Then tell the kitchen to make more food.
00:26:19How difficult can vegetable dishes be?
00:26:21And why do you keep bothering me over every fucking detail?
00:26:24Figure it out!
00:26:33I miss Anna.
00:26:54Jack?
00:27:01Jack.
00:27:03I'm leaving you, Anna.
00:27:06Fuck you!
00:27:09I'm not going anywhere.
00:27:19Anna, don't go in there.
00:27:22What if Jack...
00:27:23I'm just getting the music sheets I left behind.
00:27:25Professor McNeil gave me this incredibly tight deadline.
00:27:28I can't... I can't miss it.
00:27:31I'll be quick.
00:27:53I didn't know you'd come back for me.
00:28:00I didn't know you'd come back for me.
00:28:03Wait for me, Jack. We're done.
00:28:12What, a half is not enough?
00:28:14You wanted to marry into this family?
00:28:16Stay here and all this is yours.
00:28:18You're sick.
00:28:20If you really loved me, you would accept my decision to leave you.
00:28:23You're being stalkerish.
00:28:25You consider me a stalker now?
00:28:27I was your husband.
00:28:30What if your hand never heals?
00:28:32Maybe then you'll need me again.
00:28:34Hey!
00:28:37Anna!
00:28:51Anna.
00:29:02You still hung up on her?
00:29:04I should have let her go.
00:29:06Jack, you're awake.
00:29:09The servants let you in?
00:29:11You don't remember?
00:29:13I never left.
00:29:16You were pretty drunk.
00:29:18You kind of hurt my arms.
00:29:24I'm sorry.
00:29:27Guess we got a little rough.
00:29:30Well, how about you make it up to me?
00:29:36Take me to a concert?
00:29:39Take me to a concert?
00:29:45Sure.
00:29:58Anna, you have to look your best tonight.
00:30:00This is definitely a date.
00:30:02Kate, it's not a date.
00:30:04We're just friends.
00:30:06Trust me.
00:30:08I can totally listen to you.
00:30:37So, Anna.
00:30:39You're really with Ethan now?
00:30:41Your taste is getting worse.
00:30:43Actually, her taste has improved since the divorce.
00:30:49Take me home, Ethan.
00:30:56I'm sorry.
00:30:58I'm sorry.
00:31:00I'm sorry.
00:31:02I'm sorry.
00:31:04I'm sorry.
00:31:11Ethan, I'm so sorry for dragging you into my pointless emotional mess.
00:31:16No, forget about it, really.
00:31:19I wanted to help.
00:31:23Ethan, do you see us more than just friends?
00:31:27Sorry. Silly question.
00:31:58Why am I getting caught up in this pathetic love drama all over again?
00:32:04This is crazy.
00:32:27I love you.
00:32:57I love you.
00:33:05I want to enter this year's global piano competition.
00:33:09I think it'll help me find the self I once was.
00:33:13And I'll be right there to support you.
00:33:28Your technique is not at its peak yet.
00:33:31But your emotional depth is on point.
00:33:34Seems like your marriage wasn't entirely a waste.
00:33:40Anna.
00:33:42You're going to be my last research partner.
00:33:46You're going to be my last research partner.
00:33:50You're going to be my last research partner.
00:33:54You're going to be my last research student.
00:33:58I'm retiring.
00:34:11Professor, please give me a chance.
00:34:14I really want to be your student.
00:34:16Can't you make room for me too?
00:34:19And what are you doing here?
00:34:25Professor, don't let her fool you.
00:34:28She's not the rich, professional housewife anymore.
00:34:31Just a talentless freeloader.
00:34:35I'm different.
00:34:36My brother is the chairman of the Brown family.
00:34:39I could bring in steady sponsorship.
00:34:41You're out of line.
00:34:43Scholarships are won by talent.
00:34:45Money's easy to get.
00:34:46You can't buy talent.
00:34:48Professor, please.
00:34:50Take a breath.
00:34:51Leave.
00:34:52You're insulting the professor.
00:34:56What's all this commotion?
00:35:00As Aria, I will personally vouch for Lauren's talent.
00:35:04Professor McNeil, I hope you'll accept her.
00:35:06Although, if you don't think she's up to your standard,
00:35:09I'm going to have to question your thought processes.
00:35:12How dare you?
00:35:13Your attitude and sense of entitlement is bewildering to me.
00:35:17Please leave my classroom.
00:35:19Professor, it's just adding one more student.
00:35:22Please don't turn her away.
00:35:24Well, I only take the most accomplished students.
00:35:29Well, in that case, let's make it a competition.
00:35:33And I'll take the winner as my final student.
00:35:36Isn't Aria Professor McNeil's exceptional talent?
00:35:40Isn't Aria Professor McNeil's ex-student?
00:35:43I bet Lauren will win.
00:35:45Sounds great.
00:35:47We'll see you at the competition.
00:35:51Bye-bye.
00:36:00Terrible.
00:36:02Ethan.
00:36:05You're unaware, aren't you?
00:36:07I'm Aria.
00:36:08I suggest you stop trying to help Anna.
00:36:10You know, with a few words, I can have you fired.
00:36:13I'm sure that's true.
00:36:20So you understand the power of Aria, then.
00:36:23Stop helping Anna, and I can offer you a much more lucrative position.
00:36:30Stop pretending.
00:36:32Your pathetic little tricks aren't fooling anyone.
00:36:35Don't be so sure.
00:36:39Oh.
00:36:44I can't keep relying on others.
00:36:50I have to earn Aria back myself.
00:36:56Anything worth any merit is worth accomplishing on my own.
00:37:03I'll wait for you to confess.
00:37:05Whether you're Aria or not, I'm here for you.
00:37:15Mom, if Jack hadn't divorced her, there's no way Anna would try to compete with me now.
00:37:20We can't let her win.
00:37:22Absolutely not.
00:37:25We need a plan.
00:37:28Anna Brown has the nerve to challenge me.
00:37:31It's incredible to me that she even has the courage to try.
00:37:34She's gonna make a complete fool of herself.
00:37:37It takes years to be able to do what I do.
00:37:39I can't wait to see her fail.
00:37:41Nobody's better than Aria.
00:38:04This school doesn't need students like you.
00:38:09Go get your master somewhere else.
00:38:14Can someone explain to me what's going on here?
00:38:16Don't play innocent.
00:38:18Aria's exposed you on TV.
00:38:20Aren't you curious why the always secretive Aria suddenly exposed herself so publicly?
00:38:25You're just attention seeking.
00:38:27I believe in Anna's integrity.
00:38:29What are you doing here?
00:38:31Why are you still shutting me out?
00:38:33Call me. I'll handle this.
00:38:35Not everything can be solved with money and power, Jack.
00:38:40Isn't he the CEO of the Brown family?
00:38:42Oh my god, she did use her connections to get ahead.
00:38:50So she's playing both sides now.
00:38:52What about Ethan?
00:38:54It's not fair she gets to go here.
00:39:03I'm sorry.
00:39:05I'm sorry.
00:39:31What's this video supposed to prove, bitch?
00:39:33It could have been edited.
00:39:35Sorry, what?
00:39:37Why don't you play something?
00:39:39Right here, right now.
00:39:41Tomorrow's the competition.
00:39:43I'm not playing anything until then.
00:39:45I'm entitled to more rehearsal time.
00:39:48Ugly scar.
00:39:50Really? You've just noticed that now?
00:39:52I'm used to it.
00:39:54So is everyone that knows me.
00:39:56Aren't you scared?
00:39:58You must know that you won't succeed.
00:40:00Scared?
00:40:02What's there to be scared of?
00:40:04I actually got an interview.
00:40:06You got here on a bribe.
00:40:08You're an amateur.
00:40:10Oh really? How about this then?
00:40:12The loser drops out of school.
00:40:17You brought this on yourself, Anna.
00:40:19I'm sending you straight to hell.
00:40:21And divorcing my brother was a huge mistake.
00:40:26And challenging me was yours.
00:40:33Honey.
00:40:35Just a few more hours
00:40:37and you'll never have to see that exasperating face again.
00:40:41Professor McNeil couldn't make it backstage herself.
00:40:44She didn't want to cause you any unnecessary trouble.
00:40:53Today, I don't want you to feel any less than perfect.
00:40:57I know that you're embarrassed by your scar.
00:41:00But it doesn't define you.
00:41:03When you perform,
00:41:05I want you to feel free and uninhibited.
00:41:08I want you to feel free and uninhibited.
00:41:32Don't forget it was Anna who started this whole rivalry with your sister.
00:41:36You need to pick a side.
00:41:39Anna's injury is because of me.
00:41:42The doctor said it's beyond healing.
00:41:45Laura, go easy on her.
00:41:48Let her lose praise for that.
00:41:50That's not how a fair competition works.
00:41:55Are you insane?
00:42:03Don't worry.
00:42:06I already secured the votes with the judges.
00:42:11She's walked right into my trap.
00:42:13Today's going to be her ultimate downfall.
00:42:30As the rules state,
00:42:32the contestants will choose a piece on the list provided by the judges.
00:42:37Wait.
00:42:39Since the stakes are so high,
00:42:41I suggest a change to the format.
00:42:43A classic piano battle.
00:43:33Was that it?
00:43:35I miss going to the art gallery for this?
00:44:02Oh, no.
00:44:03Lauren is losing.
00:44:05She's going to get kicked out of the school.
00:44:11Well, Anna.
00:44:13Who knew she had it in her?
00:44:15She's even better than before her injury.
00:44:20It makes me want her back even more.
00:44:33I'm so sorry.
00:44:58And the winner is...
00:44:59I protest the result!
00:45:04She's breaking the rules. This duel doesn't count.
00:45:07Improvisation wasn't part of the competition.
00:45:10She's clearly trying to throw her opponent off rhythm.
00:45:13That's a violation. Disqualify her immediately.
00:45:16I disagree.
00:45:18Before Anna started improvising, Lauren had already lost her rhythm.
00:45:23Rules are rules. There's no room for interpretation.
00:45:30Speaking of the rules, Sophie,
00:45:33well, you're the last person who should be making a statement about that.
00:45:42Lauren bribed the judges.
00:45:45I believe that's the real violation.
00:45:48She should be disqualified.
00:45:50Not Anna.
00:45:53I've decided.
00:45:55Anna will be my final protégé.
00:46:00I should have retired long ago,
00:46:03and I trust you'll continue to shine in your musical career.
00:46:30The arts aren't a solitary pursuit.
00:46:34You need to confront your challenges and accept help from those who choose to give it.
00:46:42Don't keep him waiting too long.
00:46:45Anna, despite the fact you tried to ruin my sister's life,
00:46:49I forgive you.
00:46:51Let's leave the past behind us and try again, okay? I love you.
00:46:56Jack, the past is the past.
00:46:59I'll never forget the way you treated me,
00:47:01from the constant belittling to the physical and verbal abuse from both you and your family,
00:47:06to the fact that you never appreciated me or my musical accomplishments.
00:47:13I think I actually hate you.
00:47:26Don't think this win means anything, Anna.
00:47:28As long as I have a career, I'll beat you every chance I get.
00:47:32You can count on it.
00:47:38It's time to reclaim my title as aria.
00:47:55Is this a bit too much?
00:47:59I'm not used to wearing something this revealing.
00:48:02Anna.
00:48:04Wow.
00:48:06You look incredible.
00:48:09Don't worry.
00:48:12Tonight,
00:48:14I'm your protector.
00:48:25I love you.
00:48:42You had Lauren bribe the judges, didn't you?
00:48:45The shares are crashing.
00:48:46Dad, I just wanted to win so badly.
00:48:48I needed to protect our family's honor.
00:48:49Oh, stop it, Sophie.
00:48:51Shareholders only care about results.
00:48:55You've let me down.
00:48:58From now on, you're going to cut all ties with Jack and his family.
00:49:01No.
00:49:02Yes, you will.
00:49:04And you'd better win this competition.
00:49:07The legacy of this family is not going to be tarnished any further.
00:49:10I'm sorry.
00:49:23Did you use Professor McNeil's name to get me here?
00:49:25I knew this was the only way to get you to come.
00:49:28Anna.
00:49:30Sophie's family has immense power.
00:49:33This is beyond your creative ability.
00:49:37Listen to me.
00:49:38Let this competition go.
00:49:40I...
00:49:42I can arrange a concert.
00:49:44An album.
00:49:52Miss Sophie,
00:49:54your arias technique is unparalleled.
00:49:59It's...
00:50:01impossible to replicate.
00:50:05Does Anna really think this is a battle of skills?
00:50:07I mean, the rules mean nothing in the face of my family's power.
00:50:10Who controls this game?
00:50:17Jack, you don't control me anymore.
00:50:19I am not your property.
00:50:21I never was.
00:50:28Let's talk about the sponsorship.
00:50:30Here's your choice.
00:50:31Either you revoke Anna's application,
00:50:34or my family will withdraw their financial support.
00:50:43The Luna family is fully backing this competition.
00:50:46We've secured a panel of top-tier pianists
00:50:49in order to make sure the judging is fair.
00:50:54Luna's terms are way more reasonable.
00:50:56No one here disagrees, am I right?
00:51:00You can't be serious!
00:51:04Mr. Luna is incredible.
00:51:06The Luna family's generous contribution will really help Anna.
00:51:15So Ethan's from a wealthy family, too?
00:51:18And he kept it from me!
00:51:23Why?
00:51:24Am I in some rich boy's game again?
00:51:27Always being looked down upon, living pitifully.
00:51:30Always being looked down upon, living pitifully
00:51:33like an invisible person in that kind of family.
00:51:36No, I'll never go back to that life again.
00:51:46No matter how hard she tries, poor thing,
00:51:49she'll never truly fit in with our family.
00:51:57Andy's my tutor, too.
00:51:59This is a catastrophe.
00:52:07Sir, I can't wait to see Miss Anna's face.
00:52:10She'll be so overwhelmed.
00:52:15Anna?
00:52:19Anna?
00:52:29Anna?
00:52:35Any update?
00:52:36Sir, we can't find any record of Miss Anna.
00:52:38She must still be somewhere in the city.
00:52:54Good job.
00:52:55Anna, what is happening?
00:52:58Anna?
00:53:28Anna, your emotions are off.
00:53:30Again.
00:53:41Worse than last time.
00:53:42Worse than last time.
00:53:57Anna!
00:53:58Control the tempo!
00:54:13Your mind is scattered.
00:54:16How do you expect to play perfectly when your heart has all been hit?
00:54:21I don't want to do it anymore.
00:54:23I'm scared.
00:54:36Go home, Mr Luna.
00:54:39We shouldn't see each other again.
00:54:44I didn't mean to hide my family from you.
00:54:48I moved away at a young age to follow my passion,
00:54:51and not the Luna agenda.
00:54:54I didn't think it had anything to do with who I am, or us.
00:54:59I wanted you to fall in love with me for who I am,
00:55:02not who my family is.
00:55:04I can't go back to those days of being hurt and looked down upon.
00:55:10I just want you to leave me alone when I can.
00:55:14Being born into wealth wasn't something that I could choose.
00:55:20I'm not Jack, Anna.
00:55:34I'm not Jack, Anna.
00:55:55The Luna family looks even more fierce than Jack's.
00:55:59I'm certainly not going to be a favourite of Ethan's mother.
00:56:02Welcome, sweetheart.
00:56:04We've so eagerly been waiting to meet you.
00:56:13I knew it.
00:56:15This family is just being polite.
00:56:18They don't want their son to be with a girl like me.
00:56:29No.
00:56:42Anna, we've cut all ties with our long-term business partners.
00:56:47The Brown family?
00:56:50They were never our kind of people.
00:56:53Darling, you must try one of these.
00:56:55Ethan has said that you love them.
00:57:05How are you and Ethan?
00:57:07Are you well?
00:57:10Oh, we're...
00:57:13Ethan and I, we're...
00:57:15Our relationship isn't what you think.
00:57:17We're just friends.
00:57:22Oh, Anna, you must understand.
00:57:24With a womaniser like my son, he has to settle down sometime.
00:57:33Anna, come with me.
00:57:34I want to show you something.
00:57:52I love you.
00:58:10Ethan, that was you?
00:58:14Anna, your music inspired Ethan when he was suffering from depression.
00:58:18No matter what happens between you two,
00:58:21you will always be part of my family.
00:58:26Such a short-sighted family.
00:58:28How could they let a beautiful gem like you go unnoticed for so long?
00:58:32Promise me that you will never let family drama hold you back.
00:58:37You have so much talent.
00:58:40Don't waste it.
00:58:41Promise me you deserve more.
00:58:51The Luna family just had a press conference.
00:58:53They're cutting ties with us.
00:58:56Our partners are pulling out, and the funding is about to dry up.
00:59:05Damn that Anna!
00:59:06How dare she seduce a man to get what she wants?
00:59:08Again!
00:59:10Jack, you're lucky to be rid of her.
00:59:12She's nothing but a goddamn whore.
00:59:16This is on me.
00:59:17You all pushed her away.
00:59:19Now get out!
00:59:20All of you!
00:59:38Here.
00:59:39This is all my savings.
00:59:41I want you to have it.
00:59:44I don't have much, but I want to contribute.
00:59:50Here.
01:00:20Here.
01:00:38Jack's favorite coffee.
01:00:39Colombian single origin.
01:00:44Grind should be medium fine.
01:00:51With a water to coffee ratio of 1.15.
01:01:03Brewed at 197 degrees Fahrenheit.
01:01:07For spring and fall business dinners, he prefers silk ties with subtle patterns.
01:01:13For summer outdoor events, a simple cotton twill tie works well with casual suits.
01:01:29What have I done?
01:01:32How could I have been so blind?
01:01:37I took it for granted.
01:01:40I took it for granted.
01:02:02I don't care how you do it, but you need to spread a rumor that Anna hired a bunch of trolls to attack me online.
01:02:07I mean it.
01:02:08We're going to make her drop out of this competition.
01:02:11You'll see.
01:02:16What the hell's going on with all this online drama?
01:02:18You need to control the online narrative.
01:02:20Oh, we've tried.
01:02:21But the Lunar family is shielding Anna.
01:02:24Every move we make is being blocked.
01:02:27Now, you created this mess.
01:02:30You fix it.
01:02:31Fix it.
01:02:38Anna ruined your sister's career.
01:02:40Why are you still defending her?
01:02:43No, this whole mess started with Lauren.
01:02:46It weren't for you and her pushing her.
01:02:49Ungrateful idiot.
01:02:50I tried everything to help you.
01:02:52I risked my entire career to help your dumb sister.
01:02:56I thought eventually you might appreciate me.
01:03:00Sophie, I do.
01:03:02I appreciate what you've done for me.
01:03:04Jack, help me.
01:03:06Just this once.
01:03:07Use the Brown family to get those negative comments removed.
01:03:12Sophie.
01:03:14How did you get so selfish?
01:03:17Anna never asked for anything in return.
01:03:20She just gave and gave and we pushed her away.
01:03:24And we won't help you.
01:03:26Because Anna's suffered enough.
01:03:29Besides, the Brown family is done.
01:03:33We're about to get banged.
01:03:37Just forget about your precious Anna.
01:03:39She means nothing to us.
01:03:43We can't lose.
01:03:58Anna, I need a clear answer.
01:04:02Do you see a future for us?
01:04:09If I feel fireworks, I'm yours.
01:04:28Anna.
01:04:45Anna really gave in that easily?
01:04:49Maybe it was destiny.
01:04:51I planned the fireworks in advance.
01:04:53You wouldn't believe it, but in that moment,
01:04:55I felt like the luckiest man in the world.
01:04:58Accidents.
01:04:59Fireworks will melt a girl's heart every time.
01:05:03What about the Brown family?
01:05:05How are you planning to deal with them?
01:05:08They haven't paid for what they did.
01:05:10Yet.
01:05:12But I think now it's time they do.
01:05:19I'm in hell.
01:05:21Hey.
01:05:25No, that was Mom's.
01:05:29Mom.
01:05:31Sophie's so kind.
01:05:34If I ask her for help,
01:05:36there's no way she'll say no.
01:05:47Sophie, please.
01:05:48I want to work for Professor McNeil.
01:05:51You promised I'd be the best pianist in the family.
01:05:55One, two, three.
01:05:58One, two, three.
01:06:02Yeah.
01:06:07Even if you were some kind of genius,
01:06:09your reputation's already ruined.
01:06:11Sophie, we used to be best friends.
01:06:13Please help the Brown family.
01:06:15We just want a small favor.
01:06:17You two are such self-seeking leeches.
01:06:20Get out of my house.
01:06:23Get out of my house.
01:06:24Fuck you.
01:06:26Fuck you.
01:06:27Fuck you.
01:06:51Why is it so cold?
01:06:53The servants are gone.
01:06:55What?
01:06:58I realized that Sophie used me as a pawn to get to Jack.
01:07:05How could I be so stupid, Mom?
01:07:08I miss Anna.
01:07:12Really?
01:07:22Your rhythm is perfect.
01:07:23A little too perfect, actually.
01:07:25I look forward to relax.
01:07:27I think if you find the emotion in the piece,
01:07:29you'll connect to it a lot more.
01:07:31The penis touches me.
01:07:36If Anna were here, things wouldn't have went so wrong.
01:07:40There was a time our family almost went bankrupt,
01:07:43and she was there for us.
01:07:45She has always been there for us.
01:07:48Why did I trust that bitch Sophie?
01:07:52I hate to admit it, but I miss Anna, too.
01:07:59Hey, I've already called the doctor.
01:08:02Don't worry.
01:08:03Your blood pressure results are completely normal.
01:08:06Thank you, dear.
01:08:17We've got to get her back.
01:08:22Anna.
01:08:23I didn't know all the things that Sophie did to hurt you.
01:08:26I'm sorry.
01:08:28But I was a victim, too.
01:08:30Our marriage was destroyed.
01:08:32Jack, you can't blame Sophie for everything.
01:08:35We don't really share the same values in life.
01:08:37You've always put me second to your business.
01:08:39You've never truly appreciated me.
01:08:41I'm sorry.
01:08:42I'm sorry.
01:08:43I'm sorry.
01:08:44I'm sorry.
01:08:45I'm sorry.
01:08:46I'm sorry.
01:08:47I'm sorry.
01:08:48I'm sorry.
01:08:49You've always put me second to your business.
01:08:50You've never truly appreciated me.
01:08:52You're the reason we got divorced.
01:08:54Well, don't think Ethan is a saint.
01:08:56He's a Luna.
01:08:58He's put the Brown family on the verge of bankruptcy.
01:09:01Open your eyes, Anna.
01:09:04He doesn't really love you.
01:09:06Stop it.
01:09:07You need to start taking responsibility for your own failings.
01:09:10Fine.
01:09:12Then, even if I go bankrupt, I'll fight to get you back in my life.
01:09:16Leave me alone, Jack.
01:09:18Do I need to get a restraining order?
01:09:33Is what Jack said true? Are you really bankrupting their business?
01:09:38I'm going to tear down the privileges that they are most proud of.
01:09:43Ethan, can you please leave Jack's family to their own fate?
01:09:49You still have feelings for him, don't you?
01:09:58We were married for six years. Of course there's still going to be some residual feelings there.
01:10:03But it's not what you think. I don't care about him anymore.
01:10:18Be careful. The Luna family has deployed extra security recently.
01:10:48When Chopin was 19, he fell in love with a classmate. His first love. But he was too
01:11:15shy to confess. So he poured all of his emotions into this piece.
01:11:22If ever I was to confess to someone, this is the piece I choose.
01:11:38I've started my new life. I've moved on.
01:11:41Um, people in my past will have to figure out their own lives.
01:11:48I guess I'm just jealous of the past you had with him.
01:12:00I wish I'd known the confident 20-year-old you.
01:12:05No, I'm 26, not 60. Besides, age is just a number.
01:12:15You have my present and my future.
01:12:34So
01:12:55Professor.
01:12:57How come Anna's competition piece is the same as Sophie's?
01:13:11Sophie is just trying to distract you. She's a snake.
01:13:16Then I'll change my piece. Catch her off guard. But isn't that risky? Time is precious.
01:13:22Switching at the last minute? Professor, please trust me.
01:13:52So,
01:14:01what's going on? Is this some magic trick arranged by the organizers?
01:14:10You're not as calm as you pretend. Too bad.
01:14:12Your little tricks won't shake the fact that I'm Aria in everyone's eyes and not you.
01:14:42So
01:15:12do
01:15:42me.
01:15:57Aria's performance is just dynamic and precise.
01:16:03It's impossible. How can anyone mimic it so perfectly unless she is Aria?
01:16:33So
01:17:04do.
01:17:17It can't possibly be Aria.
01:17:25Aria cannot be replicated. You must have had someone else play it for you.
01:17:28Oh my god, it's Anna! She is the real Aria!
01:17:40I am Aria, yes. I wrote this piece in the last few months. It's a reflection of my
01:17:46life over the past six years from being downtrodden, rejected, and betrayed.
01:17:53It was writing that healed me. I hope my music has moved you in the way that I intended.
01:17:58May we all stay true to ourselves and be the masters of our own destiny.
01:18:16You knew Aria's true identity, didn't you? So you took Anna's title,
01:18:21desperate to win her ex-husband's heart. How dare you open to the sea republic?
01:18:27Do you really think your family's influence can shield you?
01:18:30How much clout do you think the Luna's family has?
01:18:40Anna, please forgive us.
01:18:45I'm ashamed of myself. I wasn't there for you when you needed me. I am responsible for you.
01:18:56I wasn't asked. It's all my fault. I mistook you, a precious gem, for something far less.
01:19:04Please, for the sake of our past, give us a chance to make things right. Come back.
01:19:11Anna, I was manipulated into hurting you. If I had trusted you more,
01:19:17now I can see it clearly. You were the one who was always there for us.
01:19:23These hardships have helped me to grow, both mentally and physically.
01:19:28I no longer need your approval or your apology.
01:19:33I wish you well, but we will no longer be in each other's lives.
01:19:53Anna, there you are. I've been doing a lot of thinking and
01:20:02I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:20:09Will you marry me?
01:20:22Anna, are you ready to begin the journey of your life with me?
01:20:52For the rest of our lives?
