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

01:18:43Aria's performance is just dynamic and precise.
01:18:45Aria's performance is just dynamic and precise.
01:18:51It's impossible.
01:18:53How can anyone mimic it so perfectly,
01:18:55Unless she is Aria.
01:18:57Unless she is Aria.
01:19:39It can't possibly be Aria!
01:20:09Aria cannot be replicated!
01:20:16You must have had someone else plan it for you!
01:20:19Oh my god, it's Anna!
01:20:23She is the real Aria!
01:20:29I am Aria, yes.
01:20:32I wrote this piece in the last few months.
01:20:34It's a reflection of my life over the past six years.
01:20:37From being downtrodden, rejected, and betrayed.
01:20:42It was writing that healed me.
01:20:44I hope my music has moved you in the way that I intended.
01:20:47May we all stay true to ourselves and be the masters of our own destinies.
01:20:58You knew Aria's true identity, didn't you?
01:21:08So you took Anna's title, desperate to win her ex-husband's heart.
01:21:12How dare you open to the sea the public?
01:21:15Do you really think your family's influence can shield you?
01:21:19How much clout do you think the Loomis family has?
01:21:28Anna, please forgive us.
01:21:35I'm ashamed of myself.
01:21:38I wasn't there for you when you needed me.
01:21:41I am responsible for your misery.
01:21:45I was an asshole.
01:21:48It's all my fault.
01:21:50I mistook you, a precious gem, for something far less.
01:21:54Please, for the sake of our past, give us a chance to make things right.
01:21:59Come back.
01:22:01Anna, I was manipulated into hurting you.
01:22:05If I had trusted you more, now I can see it clearly.
01:22:09You were the one who was always there for us.
01:22:14These hardships have helped me to grow, both mentally and physically.
01:22:19I no longer need your approval.
01:22:23I no longer need your approval or your apology.
01:22:28I wish you well, but we will no longer be in each other's lives.
01:22:48There you are.
01:22:51I'm having a lot of thinking and...
01:22:56I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:23:02Will you marry me?
01:23:21The End
01:23:45Anna, are you ready to begin the rest of our lives?
01:23:51It's all the same to me!
01:24:00I don't want to die yet!
01:24:05I want to stay alive!
