00:00:00Tonight, I will sell my virginity to a man who doesn't love me.
00:00:07Hey, get your ass on that stage right now. The auction is about to start.
00:00:14I don't want to sell my virginity. Not like this. But what other choice do I have?
00:00:24Congratulations. We are thrilled to inform you that you have been selected to audition for our prestigious piano performance program.
00:00:33So what?
00:00:35Your mother is dead. You're 19 now, Shannon. I have no obligation to fund your dreams.
00:00:41Oh, Catherine, please. I'll work extra jobs. I'll do anything. I'm begging you.
00:00:48If you're so desperate for money, there is a shortcut.
00:00:52What shortcut?
00:00:54There's an auction. A private one. To sell your virginity.
00:01:05And now, gentlemen, a truly special offering. An angelic pianist.
00:01:11And yes, she's a virgin.
00:01:16A grand piano at a virgin auction? How absurd.
00:01:22This piece reminds me of her. It was a long time ago.
00:01:35Help! Somebody help! Please! Help me, please!
00:01:44Lucy.
00:01:49Lucy.
00:01:52Lucy.
00:02:03Antonio, what is it?
00:02:05She reminds me of Lucy.
00:02:12A virgin pianist. Now that is a rarity. I want her.
00:02:18Come here, please.
00:02:23Let's start the bidding at $10,000.
00:02:27$11,000.
00:02:28$20,000.
00:02:29$30,000.
00:02:30That guy is a virgin predator. He's preyed on plenty of girls.
00:02:42$1 million.
00:02:45$1 million? Are you serious?
00:02:49I get that you want to have things with Catherine, but this isn't serious.
00:02:53$1 million. Going once. Going twice. Sold to this gentleman.
00:03:00What the fuck? $1 million for her? Is this how you bid at a virgin auction?
00:03:05I outbid you. That's all that matters. Just jump.
00:03:18Sir, the bank just flagged your $1 million transaction. Mr. Lawson is concerned.
00:03:30It's not his concern.
00:03:32Shannon, just get through this, and then you can go after your dream school.
00:03:37Mind your own business, father.
00:03:42Wait, sir, I...
00:03:49Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry.
00:03:54It's okay. Hey, I'm covered.
00:04:02You're a talented pianist. There are better ways to earn what you need.
00:04:07Why sell yourself like this?
00:04:09I'm not selling myself. I'm selling you.
00:04:12You're a talented pianist. There are better ways to earn what you need.
00:04:16Why sell yourself like this?
00:04:18There's no why. I just need the money. And you paid.
00:04:29I'll do whatever you want.
00:04:36You don't have to do anything. Stay for the night. That's enough.
00:04:41What? But you paid. Shouldn't I serve you something?
00:04:48You think you can serve me? You don't even know what you're doing.
00:05:01I know what I should do.
00:05:11You asked for this.
00:05:42I love you.
00:05:49Are you sure this is what you want? Are you sure you can handle it?
00:05:53I can.
00:06:05My virginity taken by a stranger.
00:06:08But it wasn't as terrifying as I thought.
00:06:12Good morning.
00:06:21How dare you go to a virgin auction? We're engaged, Antonio.
00:06:25If my private life bothers you, feel free to end it.
00:06:28Don't tempt me. Imagine what the media would say if I reported this.
00:06:33Then do it. I'm not afraid of another scandal.
00:06:36Stop pretending. You know you need this career just as much as I need you.
00:06:59What's your name?
00:07:01It's Shannon. Shannon Wood.
00:07:05Shannon Wood? This transaction's over. Consider it a night of nothing.
00:07:19I told you not to find me.
00:07:21Mr. Lawson wants me to bring you back, sir.
00:07:23Tell my father I'll be starting a green conservatory tomorrow and that no one, not even him, can change my mind.
00:07:30He's right. It was just a transaction.
00:07:35Hi. I've got my tuition ready.
00:07:38I'd like to schedule an audition at Green Conservatory.
00:08:00I hope that my lucky brooch brings you some good fortune in the competition.
00:08:09Mom, I promise I'll be a pianist like you one day.
00:08:15Then I'll be waiting, sweetheart.
00:08:30I miss you so much, Mom. I'm going to make it. I'll finish what you started.
00:08:37Did you hear? Antonio Lawson's back. He's selecting students for the world competition.
00:08:42You mean Professor Satan? I heard no one can last more than one lesson under him.
00:08:51What the hell are you doing here? I thought my mother refused to pay your tuition.
00:08:57I have my tuition ready, Amelia.
00:08:59Please. Where did you get the money from selling yourself out?
00:09:11I'm really sorry, Shannon. Maybe you should watch where you're going.
00:09:14For the next group, please move to the audition hall.
00:09:26Let's meet our judge panel today. Mr. Juliette, Mr. Martin, and the new Green Professor, renowned pianist Mr. Lawson.
00:09:52It's him.
00:09:57Mr. Lawson, shall we begin? Let's start with introductions.
00:10:05You there. Begin, please.
00:10:07My name is Amelia Barnes. I'm here on behalf of the recommendation of my mother, Catherine Barnes.
00:10:15She's the dean's daughter. I bet you're going to pick her for sure.
00:10:20Ella Chow, freshman, piano program. Spit out the gum before addressing me.
00:10:27Pathetic.
00:10:32Next.
00:10:33Ryan Smith. I'm a transfer senior.
00:10:38A C in piano pedagogy last year. Impressive. Truly.
00:10:45Asshole.
00:10:49That's enough introductions. Let's move on to performances.
00:10:52Mr. Lawson, I think you forgot about me.
00:10:56Shannon Wood, 19, applying under a special treatment fund. You can perform first.
00:11:08Whenever you're ready.
00:11:10Yes, sir.
00:11:12Oh, no. My hand. It hurts.
00:11:28Did you hear that? She sounds terrible.
00:11:35I've come so far. I can't just give up.
00:11:43That's enough.
00:11:45Stop this embarrassing display.
00:12:04That's enough. Stop this embarrassing display.
00:12:08Miss Wood, we can't take you in.
00:12:10Sir, I'm so sorry. Just give me one more chance.
00:12:14There are no apologies on stage. You're wasting everyone's time. Leave.
00:12:20Too bad money can't buy talent or fashion sense.
00:12:29She's so tragic.
00:12:33Pack your shit and go. Green is for talent, not Barnes.
00:12:38Silence!
00:12:41I'd like her to be my student.
00:12:43What?
00:12:45I told you.
00:12:46Are you serious?
00:12:48Quite serious.
00:12:50Despite her mistakes, I still see tremendous potential in Miss Wood.
00:12:56And I think she can surprise us.
00:12:59As she always does.
00:13:09So, coming to Green was your way of threatening me.
00:13:17What? No, that's not...
00:13:20Don't play innocent, Shannon.
00:13:24You don't think I know what you're trying to do?
00:13:26Sabotage me?
00:13:28Ruin my career?
00:13:30All because of one night.
00:13:39I didn't come here for you.
00:13:41I didn't even know you were teaching at Green.
00:13:44Still lying to me?
00:13:46I should have known.
00:13:48Someone like you would sell anything for money.
00:13:51What are you even talking about?
00:13:53Tell me. How much did they pay you to get to me?
00:13:56Was it as much as I paid for your virginity?
00:14:00Stop your nonsense.
00:14:04I was only at that auction because I can't pay for my tuition.
00:14:09I'm sorry.
00:14:15I didn't know.
00:14:21I'm sorry.
00:14:23You don't have to apologize.
00:14:26You were right. I'm only here because of you.
00:14:29So, if you want to throw me out, then that's fine.
00:14:33I guess I'm just a pathetic nobody who doesn't belong here.
00:14:36Listen to me.
00:14:38You are not a nobody.
00:14:40You're a talent.
00:14:42That night, when you played, I couldn't take my eyes off you.
00:14:46You don't have to say that just to make me feel better.
00:14:49I'm not. I'm telling you the truth.
00:14:51Are you sure you still want to be my mentor?
00:14:53My background, it feels like a mistake I can't erase.
00:14:57None of that matters to me.
00:14:59You're the only one I want.
00:15:02Well, let's get you a new dress.
00:15:18Well, well, well.
00:15:20Who is this beautiful angel you've brought along?
00:15:26Aren't you the girl from the auction?
00:15:31This is my student, Shannon.
00:15:35We'll be needing a performance dress tailored for her.
00:15:40The girl you bought from the auction is now your student?
00:15:44Antonio, what on earth are you thinking?
00:15:47Let's get started, shall we?
00:15:51All right, angel. Face me and raise your arms.
00:15:57I'll do it.
00:15:59Are you measuring someone yourself?
00:16:02This is new.
00:16:04Arms up.
00:16:1526.
00:16:16You know, you really don't have to go through all this trouble.
00:16:23I don't need a new dress.
00:16:30It's a gift.
00:16:32I won't let a nil-fitting outfit affect your performance.
00:16:35Thank you, sir.
00:16:38Sir.
00:16:40From now on, you can call me Mr. Lawson.
00:16:43Or Antonio, if you prefer.
00:16:4621.
00:16:48I'll make sure to meet your expectations, Mr. Lawson.
00:16:53Let's see what you do tomorrow.
00:16:59What?
00:17:01What?
00:17:03What?
00:17:06What?
00:17:08What?
00:17:10What?
00:17:12What?
00:17:15What?
00:17:17What?
00:17:22She's going to die.
00:17:24It looks like some special-needs trash finally got what she deserves.
00:17:27Everyone knows the truth Shannon. You never belonged here.
00:17:33Wiping it off won't help you earn your place here.
00:17:38Get out of my way.
00:17:40Then just tell everyone the truth.
00:17:42How did you manage to get Mr. Lawson's attention today?
00:17:46Was it your pathetic performance or something else?
00:17:51Leave her alone Amelia. You've taken it too far.
00:17:55Don't be fooled by her, Ryan.
00:17:58She's just like her dead mother.
00:18:01Always using her sobbing little face to claw her way to the top.
00:18:06Don't talk about my mom!
00:18:09How dare you touch me?
00:18:11You bitch!
00:18:18Why don't you ask yourself, Amelia?
00:18:21How is your mom the dean and yet you're still not cut out for Antonio?
00:18:27Get off!
00:18:33You wanted to clean the board.
00:18:35Why don't we use your pathetic face, you miserable...
00:18:38What?
00:18:39Fight! Fight! Fight!
00:18:52Fight! Fight! Fight!
00:18:55Get off!
00:19:02You both get a penalty.
00:19:04What? Mr. Lawson, you cannot do that.
00:19:07Of course I can.
00:19:09Bullying is strictly against the rules.
00:19:11Bullying? She attacked me first. Why are you always giving her special treatment?
00:19:16Shannon earns her place here with her talent.
00:19:19And she doesn't resort to tearing others down to help herself.
00:19:22That performance was not convincing. None of us think that she belongs here.
00:19:26I'll prove my place here, Amelia.
00:19:29I'm going to win first prize in the Chopin competition.
00:19:33And I'll show everyone that Mr. Lawson's faith in me wasn't misplaced.
00:19:41Excuse me.
00:19:46I'm so sorry. Here, let me grab it.
00:19:51Thanks.
00:19:55Are you okay?
00:19:58Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.
00:20:02You're headed to practice with Professor Lawson, right?
00:20:06Be careful around him.
00:20:10He was this world-famous pianist, but...
00:20:14There was this murder scandal.
00:20:19It caused him to get banned from the industry.
00:20:30There was this murder scandal.
00:20:32There was this murder scandal.
00:20:35Be careful around her.
00:20:43Antonio is a prime suspect in a murder case?
00:20:59You're five minutes late.
00:21:01I'm sorry, I was just...
00:21:02Enough talking.
00:21:05Start with piece number two.
00:21:13Your phrasing's off.
00:21:16Relax your wrists.
00:21:18Okay.
00:21:21Continue.
00:21:22I'll try again.
00:21:25Don't rush. Let each note breathe.
00:21:29Feel it settle before moving on to the next.
00:21:34Be careful around her.
00:21:36There was this murder scandal.
00:21:39I'm sorry. I did not mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
00:21:42It's just...
00:21:44It's been years since I've taken on a student.
00:21:47If my teaching style feels overwhelming, just...
00:21:50If my teaching style feels overwhelming, just...
00:21:54Let me know.
00:21:56No.
00:21:59It's not that.
00:22:03I just...
00:22:06It's been a long time...
00:22:08Since someone's taught me like this.
00:22:14Who was the last person?
00:22:16My mom.
00:22:20She died when I was younger.
00:22:34She would be proud of you, Janet.
00:22:38He's such a kind guy.
00:22:40How does someone like him end up in a murder scandal?
00:22:44Continue.
00:22:51Continue.
00:22:59Why her, Antonio?
00:23:01Is it because of that face?
00:23:03The wicked face inherited from her mother?
00:23:13There's no time to waste.
00:23:15I have to work harder if I want to win first prize.
00:23:20I'm sorry.
00:23:30She's so hardworking.
00:23:50All right, class. Let's begin.
00:23:52The scientist uses the physics of sound.
00:23:55Frequencies, overtones, and resonance.
00:24:00Now, what makes music great?
00:24:03Two players can play the same piece.
00:24:05One makes the audience weep, the other just makes noise.
00:24:08The difference between the two is that the sound is different.
00:24:11The sound of music is different.
00:24:13The sound of music is different.
00:24:15The sound of music is different.
00:24:18The difference between the two is feeling.
00:24:21The artist that feels pours their heart, their soul,
00:24:24their breath, their freedom, their hope, their dreams
00:24:26into every note that they play.
00:24:29It's what makes one great.
00:24:30Are you okay?
00:24:31Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired.
00:24:38Now, let's move on to the next theorem.
00:24:41Shannon!
00:24:47Let's get you out of here.
00:24:48I'm taking her to the nurse's office.
00:24:50No, it's not necessary.
00:24:53Mr. Lawson.
00:24:53I got you.
00:24:54I got you.
00:24:56Review today's material.
00:24:58We'll continue the lecture tomorrow.
00:25:02Did the professor just leave in the middle of class?
00:25:06For a student?
00:25:07He's never done that before.
00:25:17Ok.
00:25:32Antonio?
00:25:34It's OK.
00:25:35The nurse asked me to take you home.
00:25:37The medication they gave you has a sedative effect.
00:25:39It'll make you jazzy.
00:25:42I need to make sure you're safe.
00:25:47She's been living like this?
00:26:05This isn't my place as her mentor, but how can I leave her like this?
00:26:14Mom?
00:26:16Mom.
00:26:18Mom.
00:26:20Shh.
00:26:22It's okay.
00:26:24You'll feel better soon.
00:26:26Mom.
00:26:28It's okay.
00:26:30It's okay.
00:26:32It's just a dream.
00:26:34I'm here.
00:26:36Mom.
00:26:38Mom.
00:26:40Mom.
00:26:42It's just a dream.
00:26:45Please.
00:26:47Please don't leave me.
00:26:49Why don't you give me a comforting kiss?
00:26:52Like you always do.
00:27:03Lucy.
00:27:12Mom.
00:27:14Mom.
00:27:16You always kiss my forehead.
00:27:19Not there.
00:27:21Shannon, I am not your mom.
00:27:26No.
00:27:28This is insane.
00:27:30We can't do this.
00:27:32You're my mentor.
00:27:33I'm supposed to...
00:27:34I know I crossed the line, Shannon.
00:27:37But from that first moment at the auction, I...
00:27:39I don't know when these feelings started, but...
00:27:44I'm sorry.
00:27:45I promise this will never happen again.
00:27:46No.
00:27:47No.
00:27:48I...
00:27:50I...
00:27:52I feel the same way.
00:27:58I just don't want to lose you.
00:28:01Like I lost my mom.
00:28:04You won't.
00:28:06Like I lost my mom.
00:28:08You won't lose me.
00:28:35You won't.
00:29:02Antonio.
00:29:03Father needs you.
00:29:04You can't keep dodging this.
00:29:06It's my decision to make.
00:29:07What, you've made your decision?
00:29:09To what, chase some ridiculous musical dream
00:29:12when you marry a random woman to climb up a ladder?
00:29:15Whatever I do is my choice, William.
00:29:17Stay out of it.
00:29:19Antonio.
00:29:20Antonio.
00:29:31Good morning.
00:29:32Good morning.
00:29:35How's my favorite patient feeling?
00:29:38Much better.
00:29:40Thanks to you.
00:29:41You sound even raspier than yesterday.
00:29:44If anyone's to blame, it's you.
00:29:49Fine.
00:29:50And next time I'll just keep my hands to myself.
00:29:53Happy?
00:29:55Yeah.
00:30:03Tell me about your mom.
00:30:06Um...
00:30:09She used to play the piano,
00:30:13which is why I worked so hard to get into green.
00:30:18I want to make her proud.
00:30:20You will, Shannon.
00:30:23I'll make sure of it.
00:30:29Who is it?
00:30:30It's Catherine. Open up.
00:30:33You need to hide. Now.
00:30:40It's Catherine. Open up.
00:30:42You need to hide. Now.
00:30:46Open up.
00:30:50Aunt Catherine.
00:30:51Looks like you recovered.
00:30:54You could have waited for me to open the door.
00:30:57Oh, I don't need an invitation to check on my students when it's urgent.
00:31:01Did Antonio bring you home yesterday?
00:31:03Uh, yeah.
00:31:05He helped me when I fainted.
00:31:07Did you know that he abandoned an entire class just for you?
00:31:11I didn't realize...
00:31:12He's your professor.
00:31:15Stay away from him.
00:31:17Do you understand?
00:31:22I understand.
00:31:25Interesting.
00:31:29These don't look like women's shoes.
00:31:31Um, uh, yeah.
00:31:34They're a friend of mine's from school.
00:31:37Mm-hmm.
00:31:38He asked me to polish them.
00:31:40Just like your mother.
00:31:42Always using little tricks to reel men in.
00:31:47Aunt Catherine, no! I...
00:31:49Aunt Catherine, wait!
00:31:52Wait!
00:32:10Tonight, keep your schedule open.
00:32:13I have something to say to you.
00:32:16What is it?
00:32:17Keep your schedule open.
00:32:19I have something to say to you.
00:32:26Don't be late.
00:32:39Class, don't forget we have an exam next week.
00:32:43Um, do you want to study tomorrow?
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46That sounds great.
00:32:49Shannon.
00:32:51Stay for a moment.
00:32:53I'll see you tomorrow, Ryan.
00:32:59Be careful around him.
00:33:00Be careful around him.
00:33:15Was that supposed to be about me?
00:33:17Am I the one you're supposed to be careful of?
00:33:20I should probably ask him about his scandal now.
00:33:24Professor, I just wanted to...
00:33:31Professor?
00:33:33Sounds a little bit too formal after last night.
00:33:37Antonio?
00:33:41We need to talk.
00:33:48Antonio?
00:33:50We need to talk.
00:33:54Did you know that the entire school is talking about how you left class yesterday for some girl?
00:33:59I was taking care of my student.
00:34:01A student?
00:34:03You can't afford another scandal in your career, Antonio.
00:34:06Did she find out about us?
00:34:13Come to my house for dinner tonight.
00:34:15I have something to say.
00:34:17Doesn't she already have plans with Shannon tonight?
00:34:20What's this about?
00:34:22Don't be late.
00:34:29Is she gone?
00:34:32She is.
00:34:35But you're not going anywhere.
00:34:38What are...
00:34:43Antonio.
00:34:46What if someone sees?
00:34:48Then you'd better be quiet.
00:34:58Antonio?
00:35:26Where are you, Shannon?
00:35:29You look fabulous.
00:35:32I love it. Hi.
00:35:37Antonio?
00:35:44Finally. The whole family is here.
00:35:48Let me make the introduction proper.
00:35:50My fiancé, Antonio.
00:35:53He's Catherine's fiancé?
00:35:55And my niece, Shannon.
00:35:58She's Catherine's niece?
00:36:03Antonio is engaged to my aunt?
00:36:06Does that make him my uncle by law?
00:36:10Why the stunned face, Antonio?
00:36:13You're Shannon's aunt?
00:36:16Her guardian, technically.
00:36:19After her mother passed.
00:36:21How could I abandon her?
00:36:22Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
00:36:24Why does it matter?
00:36:26You're her professor.
00:36:28Knowing this wouldn't change anything.
00:36:33Oh, come on.
00:36:35Dinner's waiting.
00:36:37This can't be real.
00:36:53To our dear Shannon.
00:36:55Finally home where she belongs.
00:36:59Is that wine?
00:37:02Amelia, why don't you get your cousin some juice instead?
00:37:08Sure, Mom.
00:37:17Here you are.
00:37:41Oh, my God. I'm so, so sorry.
00:37:44Are you all right?
00:37:46I'm fine.
00:37:48Always so protective of his niece.
00:37:51What a gentleman.
00:37:53Antonio, darling.
00:37:55Why don't you go change first?
00:38:00Second floor. Five minutes.
00:38:06Why does he care about her so much?
00:38:18Antonio.
00:38:23Why didn't you tell me Catherine is your aunt?
00:38:26You're questioning me?
00:38:28You didn't tell me you were engaged to her.
00:38:31That's not the point.
00:38:33Why did you sell yourself?
00:38:35You could have asked for money from Catherine instead of...
00:38:37You're her fiancé.
00:38:39Why are you buying someone's virginity if you're so moral?
00:38:41It's not like that.
00:38:43Catherine and I, we...
00:38:45We're not really engaged.
00:38:47Please.
00:38:53What are you doing?
00:39:00Antonio, are you in there?
00:39:03Don't move.
00:39:12What are you doing?
00:39:14Antonio, are you in there?
00:39:15Don't move.
00:39:24Catherine, what are you doing here?
00:39:33I brought you a fresh shirt.
00:39:35Just leave it there. I'm taking a shower.
00:39:38You've been so protective of Shannon lately.
00:39:41Well, she is family, isn't she?
00:39:43Really?
00:39:46I figured your sudden kindness has something more to do with her mother.
00:39:52What are you getting at?
00:39:54Don't act so clueless, Antonio.
00:39:56Everyone remembers the scandal.
00:39:59You killed your last girlfriend, didn't you?
00:40:05Poor Lucy.
00:40:07Shannon's mother.
00:40:13So, tell me, Antonio.
00:40:15How does it feel to look at the same face?
00:40:20Guilt?
00:40:22Or maybe something more...
00:40:24primal?
00:40:26That's enough, Catherine. Get out!
00:40:29Just remember us.
00:40:31We're family.
00:40:33We're family.
00:40:35We're family.
00:40:37We're family.
00:40:39We're family.
00:40:41We're family.
00:40:43You owe your comeback to me, Antonio.
00:40:45You owe your comeback to me.
00:40:47Don't ruin your presentation, girl.
00:40:55Hey.
00:40:57You killed my mom?
00:40:59No, Shannon. It's not true.
00:41:01But she just said that you did.
00:41:03The rumors weren't true. I didn't.
00:41:05Don't...
00:41:07I don't want to hear another lie.
00:41:14I just saw her run out of the house.
00:41:16What happened?
00:41:18It's none of your business.
00:41:32Shannon.
00:41:34Shannon.
00:41:36Hey.
00:41:38It's late.
00:41:40Let me take you home.
00:41:41I don't want your help.
00:41:43Just leave me alone.
00:41:45I know this is overwhelming.
00:41:47Don't you want to know the truth about your parents?
00:41:54Fine. Let's talk.
00:42:08What was my fault?
00:42:10What was my mother to you?
00:42:13Did you kill her?
00:42:15How could you think I could do such a thing?
00:42:17After everything we've been through.
00:42:19Why shouldn't I?
00:42:21You slept with me.
00:42:23You're engaged to my aunt.
00:42:25And now you're only with me because of my mom.
00:42:27Is there anything you wouldn't do?
00:42:40Who's the man on the right?
00:42:42That's your father.
00:42:44Oscar.
00:42:48He met your mom while they were in college.
00:42:51Then we fell in love.
00:42:55Oscar was like a brother to me.
00:42:57But...
00:43:01He was seriously ill when he passed away when you were four.
00:43:10And...
00:43:13What happened to my mom?
00:43:15Struggled.
00:43:17I tried my best to help her through that time.
00:43:19But...
00:43:21People misinterpreted everything.
00:43:31Hey Antonio.
00:43:33Shopping with your girlfriend?
00:43:34It was hard pretending that nothing had changed.
00:43:38And Lucy, she...
00:43:41She was grieving.
00:43:44I tried my best to be there for her.
00:43:46For Oscar's sake.
00:43:51I never meant for things to get complicated.
00:43:54She wasn't your girlfriend?
00:43:59She was.
00:44:01She was.
00:44:03Then what happened the night she died?
00:44:11Then what happened the night she died?
00:44:19It was an accident.
00:44:23We were driving home from a performance.
00:44:27The road was slick.
00:44:28The road was slick.
00:44:33I just couldn't stop the car.
00:44:36The police said...
00:44:38That the brake cable had been cut.
00:44:42It was sabotaged.
00:44:44But they never found out who did it.
00:44:59Please...
00:45:01Help!
00:45:03Somebody help!
00:45:05Help me!
00:45:07Help!
00:45:09In the media, they said that I planned the accident.
00:45:13And I was...
00:45:17I was just too overwhelmed to stop the rumors.
00:45:20They continue.
00:45:22To this day.
00:45:24So you fell in love with me.
00:45:28Was that just some...
00:45:30Sick way of trying to ease the guilt about my mom?
00:45:50Do you only care for me because I remind you of my mom?
00:45:55Is that why you...
00:45:57Took me in as your student?
00:46:00I didn't.
00:46:02But I...
00:46:05But it's more than my career this time.
00:46:08I'm sorry.
00:46:10I'm sorry.
00:46:12I'm sorry.
00:46:14I'm sorry.
00:46:16I'm sorry.
00:46:17I'm sorry.
00:46:19If you want to get back to your music and reclaim your reputation...
00:46:23You'll have to engage me.
00:46:25If I don't?
00:46:31You don't have a choice.
00:46:34Your fame's gone.
00:46:36It's ruined.
00:46:39I'm the only one who would hire you.
00:46:44I can't let rumors consume you too.
00:46:48You're right.
00:46:50Everything I did was because of your mom.
00:46:53I see her in you.
00:46:54So I chose you to be my student.
00:46:57And that's why I bought...
00:46:59Your first night.
00:47:00You're lying.
00:47:01Believe what you want.
00:47:03But from now on we're only going to be known as student and teacher.
00:47:07Or...
00:47:09Your aunt's fiancé.
00:47:14I fucking hate you!
00:47:18I'm sorry, Shannon.
00:47:33Are they talking about me?
00:47:34Are they talking about me?
00:47:45Your talents are just as invisible as their buckets, Shannon.
00:47:49Did you hear the good news?
00:47:50Your mentor left you because you're nothing.
00:47:53She thought her pretty little face would make her a prodigy.
00:47:56Truth is...
00:47:57She's just a whore!
00:47:59Hey, smile for the camera, little whore.
00:48:05Anyone else want to play this game?
00:48:12Did you alright?
00:48:16Would someone like to explain to me what the hell is going on here?
00:48:20It's because you dropped her as a mentee.
00:48:22So that means you can bully her?
00:48:25How about this?
00:48:26You...
00:48:28And everyone else involved...
00:48:30Gets put on probation.
00:48:35Ahem!
00:48:40What's going on here?
00:48:41Mom, Mr. Lawson is punishing the entire class and it's because of her.
00:48:45A student no one wants!
00:48:48Speaking of this, since you don't want to be Shannon's mentor anymore,
00:48:52I'm going to have to ask you a few questions.
00:48:55First of all...
00:48:57What's going on here?
00:48:58Mom, Mr. Lawson is punishing the entire class and it's because of her.
00:49:02Since you don't want to be Shannon's mentor anymore,
00:49:05I've already found you a new one.
00:49:08No.
00:49:09I'm not mentoring anyone.
00:49:11What?
00:49:13Let me clarify.
00:49:14I stepped down because of my own issues.
00:49:17Not Shannon's.
00:49:18I've been out of active teaching for years.
00:49:20I'm still getting my bearings.
00:49:22I'm unfit to guide anyone.
00:49:23You're ruining your reputation.
00:49:28So be it.
00:49:29I've arranged for Shannon to work with Mr. Martin.
00:49:38Shannon, glad to see you again.
00:49:40I'll be your mentor from now on.
00:49:45Martin is a highly respected mentor and he will guide her well.
00:49:50I hear she's a...
00:49:52a bit of a challenge.
00:49:55But I'm sure I can handle it.
00:49:58She's not a challenge.
00:49:59She's one of the most talented...
00:50:00Antonio!
00:50:02She's not your responsibility anymore, is she?
00:50:08No, I suppose not.
00:50:11She's not your responsibility anymore.
00:50:14I'm not your responsibility anymore.
00:50:16No, I suppose not.
00:50:19All right, folks.
00:50:20Let's get back to work.
00:50:35From now on, Antonio and I are nothing more than student and teacher.
00:50:47Tears won't fix your mistakes.
00:51:00Sorry.
00:51:03I'll continue.
00:51:17You're so...
00:51:20passionate.
00:51:22Sir...
00:51:23That's good.
00:51:24I...
00:51:26I think we should just continue the lesson.
00:51:37Antonio's not the only one...
00:51:40who sees your potential.
00:51:41He sees your potential.
00:51:46You don't have to cry over him.
00:51:48He's nothing.
00:51:53Please.
00:51:54Please.
00:51:55Can you stop?
00:51:57Please.
00:52:00I've seen the way he looks at you.
00:52:05You seduced him.
00:52:07Didn't you?
00:52:11If he can have you...
00:52:15why can't I?
00:52:23Stay away from me!
00:52:25Oh, so brave now.
00:52:28Why don't you come over...
00:52:30and let Daddy take a look at your little hand?
00:52:32Get out!
00:52:33Out!
00:52:40Stop!
00:52:41Please!
00:52:42Please!
00:52:43Get your hands off her!
00:52:51Don't you dare touch her.
00:52:53Ever!
00:52:58Get out!
00:53:04Stop!
00:53:05Please!
00:53:06Please!
00:53:07Get your hands off her!
00:53:14Don't you dare touch her.
00:53:16Ever!
00:53:19Off me!
00:53:20If I see you near her again...
00:53:22I'll rip your tongue out with my bare hands.
00:53:24Do you understand me?
00:53:28Get out!
00:53:34Get out!
00:53:42Let me see.
00:53:48I'm sorry.
00:53:50This shouldn't have happened.
00:53:52It's none of your business.
00:53:54You're not my teacher anymore.
00:53:56But I promised you.
00:53:58I promised to protect you.
00:53:59Remember?
00:54:00So you think you're a hero now?
00:54:03You want to save whenever it suits you?
00:54:05I'm not trying to use you to...
00:54:07to fix anything, Shannon.
00:54:09Then why?
00:54:11Why are you doing this?
00:54:13Do you think I'm your fucking possession?
00:54:16Like you're the one man that can actually touch me?
00:54:20Oh, fucking hell.
00:54:34This feels so great
00:54:38But still it's so new
00:54:42I'm so glad I met someone like you
00:54:48No.
00:54:49Antonio, we can't.
00:54:51We can't.
00:54:59Martin just quit in a huff.
00:55:01Care to explain what's going on here?
00:55:03Ask Martin.
00:55:05He just ran out of here like a coward after you harassed Shannon.
00:55:08That's some serious claim, Antonio.
00:55:11Do you have any proof?
00:55:14It's true.
00:55:16He tried to...
00:55:17You don't need to explain anymore.
00:55:19I need to be reinstated as Shannon's mentor.
00:55:22I need to be reinstated as Shannon's mentor.
00:55:25I need to be reinstated as Shannon's mentor.
00:55:28I need to be reinstated as Shannon's mentor.
00:55:31I need to be reinstated as Shannon's mentor.
00:55:34And you expect me to agree to that?
00:55:37If you don't, I will tell everyone exactly what just happened in this classroom.
00:55:42Are you threatening me?
00:55:45No.
00:55:47We both know that a scandal would harm this school, right?
00:55:55Fine.
00:55:57But don't you ever forget, Antonio.
00:56:00You're mine.
00:56:02You made a promise when we got engaged and you will act like the fiancé I expect from this arrangement.
00:56:08Let's go.
00:56:16Just like her mother.
00:56:19If she thinks she can lure Antonio away from me,
00:56:23she's sadly mistaken.
00:56:31That's enough, Professor.
00:56:34I can take it from here.
00:56:36What did you just call me?
00:56:39You called me Professor.
00:56:41Yes, Professor.
00:56:44I think we should keep it professional.
00:56:47You're engaged to Catherine and I have no intention of being a mistress.
00:56:52I'm not with her, Shannon.
00:56:54Well, everyone knows you're engaged, so...
00:56:56And you guys have a deal, don't you?
00:56:59It's not like that.
00:57:02Shannon.
00:57:06I don't want to hurt you.
00:57:09Then you should keep your distance.
00:57:14Hello.
00:57:26Hello.
00:57:27Hello.
00:57:54An angel.
00:57:55Standing all alone.
00:57:59Sorry, I have to go.
00:58:01You don't remember me, do you?
00:58:06We've met before.
00:58:10The auction house?
00:58:17We've met before.
00:58:21The auction house?
00:58:26I think you're mistaken.
00:58:29Oh, I would never forget a face that left such an impression.
00:58:34Pity though, you were taken by someone else.
00:58:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:58:41Stay with me.
00:58:44And I'll offer you more than that auction ever could.
00:58:49Let me go.
00:58:51Let go of me.
00:58:55Hey!
00:58:57I suggest you leave her alone.
00:59:00Is this how you treat a selected candidate?
00:59:06Seriously.
00:59:08She's a candidate of the Chopin competition.
00:59:11Her.
00:59:13Selling herself up in a virgin auction,
00:59:16and she's Green's prize peoness candidate?
00:59:19She sold herself in the virgin auction?
00:59:23I mean, what is Green really thinking?
00:59:26Well, no wonder you paid your tuition so quickly.
00:59:33You sold your first night in bed for that?
00:59:36No, it's...
00:59:40How dare you use the Green name to join the competition?
00:59:45You're shaming us all. Whore.
00:59:48Never entered a hall with that slutty face.
00:59:51It's disgusting.
00:59:53Stop.
00:59:55Perfect timing.
01:00:00Who gave you the nerve to shame her right in front of me?
01:00:06Who gave you the nerve to shame her right in front of me?
01:00:15She doesn't need to sell herself for money.
01:00:18I'm funding her tuition.
01:00:22You? Fascinating.
01:00:26You know, I've always been curious about you, Antonio.
01:00:29You're not even a pianist anymore.
01:00:32So what's your claim to this kind of money?
01:00:35I don't need to justify my finances to you.
01:00:37Don't need to or can't?
01:00:40I mean, we all know you couldn't get hired after the scandal.
01:00:44So where exactly does your money come from?
01:00:46I heard he's the one who killed his girlfriend.
01:00:49And now he's funding some girl?
01:00:52I mean, where did he get that kind of money?
01:00:57I believe I can answer that.
01:01:06Antonio here is the heir to Lawson Enterprises.
01:01:11And as for the money to fund his protégé's education,
01:01:16it's a small fraction compared to what he controls.
01:01:20Wait, what?
01:01:22You're the heir of the Lawson Enterprises?
01:01:25The Lawson family.
01:01:27They own half of Europe's wealth and he's teaching here?
01:01:32That's possible.
01:01:34And a Lawson heir would never buy a virgin.
01:01:37Shut up!
01:01:38He would never buy a virgin.
01:01:40Shut your mouth, Josh!
01:01:45You will respect my student.
01:01:47Or I'll make sure you regret it.
01:01:49As for your behavior,
01:01:51insulting a student and tarnishing the Greens' reputation,
01:01:55you're not welcome here.
01:01:57Mr. Lawson, please.
01:01:59Listen to me.
01:02:01I'm so sorry.
01:02:03Let me explain this.
01:02:05Come on, let's get out of here.
01:02:08Wait, I need to talk to you.
01:02:10Not now.
01:02:12It doesn't matter.
01:02:14You should talk to your brother.
01:02:16No, you matter more.
01:02:18How could you, Antonio?
01:02:20How could you hide your identity from me?
01:02:23You wouldn't have given up on me if you knew, would you, Catherine?
01:02:28Someone like him backing her?
01:02:32Shannon's guaranteed to take the top prize.
01:02:35With the Lawson name alone,
01:02:38she's gonna crush the competition.
01:02:40Mom, what do we do now?
01:02:42I'll make sure she doesn't win.
01:02:45No matter who stands behind her.
01:02:52You just bought me this dress,
01:02:55and now it's ruined.
01:02:58It's just a dress, Shannon.
01:03:01Hey, we can buy another one.
01:03:02Why can't you just tell me who you are?
01:03:05First, you're engaged to my aunt,
01:03:08and now you're the heir to Lawson Enterprises?
01:03:13After the scandal,
01:03:15I had no choice but to hide who I really am.
01:03:18Hey.
01:03:20That's enough.
01:03:22Look at how your so-called dream of music has destroyed you.
01:03:25People are calling you a murderer.
01:03:28Your reputation's ruined.
01:03:29Your girlfriend's dead.
01:03:33What's your point?
01:03:35Father sent me.
01:03:37Come back.
01:03:39Take your responsibility as the heir.
01:03:41No, William.
01:03:43I'm not a Lawson anymore.
01:03:46And maybe this is the only way I won't ruin your precious reputation.
01:03:53Then die with your music.
01:03:55Catherine, she...
01:03:58She offered me my only way out.
01:04:02A position at Green,
01:04:04if I agreed to marry her.
01:04:07So how did you end up at the auction?
01:04:16So how did you end up at the auction?
01:04:20At first,
01:04:21I did use you
01:04:23to escape her.
01:04:25I won't deny it.
01:04:27But Shannon,
01:04:29somewhere along the way,
01:04:31I can't lie to myself anymore.
01:04:35I fell in love with you.
01:04:38I'm sorry,
01:04:40but no matter your feelings for me,
01:04:43you're my aunt's fiancé.
01:04:45I can't.
01:04:47You're right.
01:04:48Perhaps it's better if we just keep our distance.
01:04:51That way it won't cause you more pain.
01:04:55Then let's do it.
01:05:08Your intuition was right.
01:05:13You're talking to me.
01:05:15I'm talking to you.
01:05:17Antonio
01:05:19was the one who bought Shannon at the auction.
01:05:23I knew it!
01:05:25Antonio Shannon.
01:05:27Neither of you will get away with it.
01:05:29Let me know when you're ready to take the next steps.
01:05:34I will.
01:05:47I will.
01:06:11Right on time.
01:06:13What do you want?
01:06:15It's not about what we want.
01:06:17It's about what you're going to do.
01:06:21No! No!
01:06:23Please! Please stop!
01:06:25No! Help!
01:06:27Abandon line!
01:06:29Damn it, Shannon!
01:06:38Please let me go!
01:06:40I'm good.
01:06:42I'm going to make sure
01:06:44that those pretty little fingers
01:06:46never touch a piano again.
01:06:48Say goodbye to your dreams, princess!
01:06:50Let her go!
01:06:53Let her go!
01:06:55Who are you? Her hero?
01:06:57Let's find out.
01:06:59Get her.
01:07:13No!
01:07:24Help!
01:07:28Antonio!
01:07:30Stop!
01:07:32This isn't over.
01:07:35Are you okay?
01:07:37Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay?
01:07:39Yeah, I just...
01:07:41They're never going to hurt you again.
01:07:43No, we'll find you.
01:07:45Whoever you are.
01:07:49Why did you meet them alone, Shannon?
01:07:52Why would you put yourself in danger like that?
01:08:00They said they'd expose us.
01:08:02And I thought that if I did what they asked,
01:08:06then I could keep you safe.
01:08:07You should have told me.
01:08:09We could have figured this out together.
01:08:11I couldn't.
01:08:13You fought so hard for your career.
01:08:16I didn't want you to lose it again.
01:08:18I'd rather lose it all.
01:08:20I don't care anymore.
01:08:31Antonio,
01:08:33you should know
01:08:35that it wasn't your fault.
01:08:37It wasn't my choice to be at the auction.
01:08:40What do you mean?
01:08:42Catherine.
01:08:44She said it was the only way that I could secure my tuition.
01:08:46She's your aunt.
01:08:48How could she force you into doing this?
01:08:51I'm going to make her explain.
01:08:53No!
01:08:55Antonio, please.
01:08:57Don't make it worse.
01:08:59How can you always be so kind?
01:09:04You brazen little bitch!
01:09:05You think you can seduce my fiancé right on my nose?
01:09:12That's enough, Catherine.
01:09:14Don't you dare deny it, Antonio.
01:09:16I saw it with my own eyes how she's been seducing you.
01:09:20She didn't seduce me.
01:09:22It's me.
01:09:24I love her.
01:09:26You have got to be kidding me.
01:09:28After everything I've done for you,
01:09:30and now you tell me you love this whore?
01:09:32Hey, don't you speak to her that way.
01:09:33You coerced her into a virgin auction.
01:09:36How could you do that to your own niece?
01:09:38Because she's just like her mom, who used you.
01:09:41Haven't you seen that?
01:09:43That's enough.
01:09:45Let's cut ties, Catherine.
01:09:47What, you think you can just walk away from me?
01:09:50Fine.
01:09:52Then you can quit your career for good.
01:09:54I don't care.
01:09:57You won't control me anymore.
01:09:59And I won't let you hurt Shannon either.
01:10:02You will regret this.
01:10:09Shannon, you'll be done soon enough.
01:10:12Just like your mother.
01:10:22I need Catherine Barnes reinvestigated.
01:10:24Miss Barnes?
01:10:26Yeah.
01:10:28Check the link to Lucy's accident.
01:10:29Understood.
01:10:35Antonio.
01:10:38You're awake.
01:10:40Come on, dinner's almost ready.
01:10:45Do you always look so serious when you cook?
01:10:48Only when I have someone special to impress.
01:10:51Let me help with the eggs.
01:10:52It's too gentle.
01:10:54Here.
01:10:57Like that?
01:10:59Just like that.
01:11:09You know, I never thought I'd have a moment like this.
01:11:12And now we're here.
01:11:14Just us.
01:11:17Just the two of us.
01:11:20Just us.
01:11:23Just us.
01:11:42Looks like the professor's got himself a sweetheart.
01:11:46Let's see how far this story goes.
01:11:49Yeah.
01:12:01No.
01:12:03Shannon?
01:12:04Hi.
01:12:05Are you okay?
01:12:06I'm fine. I just, um...
01:12:08Can I come in?
01:12:09Yeah.
01:12:11You shouldn't be doing this alone.
01:12:13Not with your hand like that.
01:12:20You don't have to.
01:12:24You're my responsibility now.
01:12:27Besides, I like taking care of you.
01:12:33Done.
01:12:38Oh, no.
01:12:39Your shirt's all wet.
01:12:44I know.
01:12:49I know.
01:13:06Let me help you.
01:13:08Hey.
01:13:09That's cute.
01:13:10But come on.
01:13:11I can do it myself.
01:13:14Okay.
01:13:15So.
01:13:16Today, you're going to get some rest.
01:13:18And.
01:13:19Don't go near water with this hand.
01:13:22Yes, sir.
01:13:29We regret to inform you that your participation in the upcoming competition has been revoked.
01:13:40They took away my spot.
01:13:43Okay. Hey. Hey.
01:13:44Look at me.
01:13:46I'm not going to let this happen.
01:13:48Okay?
01:13:59Antonio.
01:14:00We need you to explain your little...
01:14:03Affair.
01:14:04She has nothing to do with this.
01:14:06You can't disqualify her because of me.
01:14:08She violated the rules the moment she got involved with you.
01:14:11A professor.
01:14:12A professor.
01:14:13And you crossed every line there is.
01:14:16Tell me what you want, Catherine.
01:14:18End this charade.
01:14:19It's simple.
01:14:21You have a choice.
01:14:22Either she goes.
01:14:24Or you do.
01:14:25Well.
01:14:26Let's see who you're really going to pick.
01:14:29You want to get rid of one of us?
01:14:32It'll be me.
01:14:36Even if you walk away, she won't get her spot back.
01:14:39That's nonsense.
01:14:41She's being punished for something she didn't even do.
01:14:43Rules are rules.
01:14:45She broke them and she will face the consequences.
01:14:48You and I both know this is not about the rules.
01:14:51You've hated her from the start.
01:14:53How dare you speak to the dean like that, Antonio?
01:14:56Who do you think you are? King of the school?
01:14:59What if he is?
01:15:03William.
01:15:04You have no grounds to interfere in the school's operations.
01:15:08Do I?
01:15:09You should check your phone.
01:15:12What?
01:15:13You bought half the school?
01:15:16So I guess I do have the right.
01:15:18Don't I?
01:15:19And I will not stand by while you try to undermine a talented student like Shannon Wood.
01:15:23And if any of you try to push her out of the competition,
01:15:26you'll be forced to leave your positions immediately.
01:15:35Father is livid, Antonio.
01:15:38Father is livid, Antonio.
01:15:40First a murder, and now you're having a fling with a student?
01:15:44Just get to the point, William.
01:15:46Yeah, I wonder.
01:15:47Do you love this girl?
01:15:49I love her.
01:15:51And I'll sacrifice anything for her.
01:15:53That enough?
01:15:54Okay.
01:15:56Here's the deal.
01:15:58We were able to get Shannon back in the competition.
01:16:01But it comes at a price.
01:16:04What price?
01:16:05After the competition, you will return to the family fold.
01:16:10And you will never touch music or come back to the States again.
01:16:16If it means Shannon gets a chance, I'll do it.
01:16:24I...
01:16:26I didn't think you'd go this far for her.
01:16:30Antonio.
01:16:32Is everything okay?
01:16:34Everything's fine.
01:16:35You're back in the competition.
01:16:37Now, focus on what's important.
01:16:40Win that first prize.
01:16:44But how did you...
01:16:45It doesn't matter.
01:16:47Just give it your all, Shannon.
01:16:49That's all I ask.
01:16:54It's the first time I saw him care this much.
01:16:57She must mean a lot to you, Antonio.
01:16:59Discovering it all up for her.
01:17:02How could you always choose Shannon and her mother over me?
01:17:07Gonna have to kill you, Shannon.
01:17:09Just like what happened to your mom.
01:17:30Okay, Mom.
01:17:32Now it's showtime.
01:17:42What is my father doing here?
01:18:00Not tonight.
01:18:04Shannon!
01:18:09Antonio!
01:18:14Antonio!
01:18:17Are you...
01:18:19Are you all right?
01:18:21Antonio, why would you do that?
01:18:23Just go.
01:18:24Finish.
01:18:25No!
01:18:26I can't leave you like this!
01:18:28Shannon.
01:18:30Play.
01:18:31For both of us.
01:18:35And your mom.
01:18:40Miss, you need to leave!
01:18:42No!
01:18:43Shannon.
01:18:44You can do this.
01:18:45Antonio!
01:18:46You can do this.
01:18:50Antonio!
01:18:52Antonio!
01:18:53Shannon.
01:18:59Touching.
01:19:01Isn't it?
01:19:02Your knight in shining armor.
01:19:04Too bad he won't be saving you anymore.
01:19:07What do you mean?
01:19:09Antonio.
01:19:10Ever the romantic.
01:19:12Sacrificed himself for you.
01:19:15He gave up his career, his freedom.
01:19:17Everything all to bargain for your spot in the competition.
01:19:21What?
01:19:22No.
01:19:23He didn't.
01:19:24And next to perform is Shannon Wood.
01:19:27Just give up.
01:19:29You can't win.
01:19:32Play.
01:19:33For both of us.
01:19:35And your mom.
01:19:37You're wrong.
01:19:40I will.
01:19:48And next to perform is Shannon Wood.
01:19:53You're wrong.
01:20:01Play.
01:20:03For both of us.

01:20:28And your mom.
01:20:29You're wrong.
01:20:30Play.

01:20:32And your mom.
01:20:33You're wrong.
01:20:34Play.
01:20:35For both of us.
01:20:36And your mom.
01:20:37You're wrong.
01:20:38Play.

01:20:40And your mom.
01:20:41You're wrong.
01:20:42Play.

01:20:52And your mom.
01:20:53You're wrong.

01:21:08And your mom.
01:21:09You're wrong.
01:21:10Play.

01:21:16And your mom.
01:21:17You're wrong.
01:21:18Play.
01:21:19For both of us.
01:21:20And the first prize goes to Shannon Wood.
01:21:28Let's hear the winner's story.
01:21:34This award isn't just for me tonight.
01:21:38It's for my mom and for my mentor, Antonio Lawson.
01:21:44Antonio saved my life tonight.
01:21:49And now he's lying injured in a hospital because of it.
01:21:53If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be standing here right now.
01:21:56Antonio believed in me when no one else did.
01:22:00He gave up everything to give me a chance.
01:22:03He always says that music has the power to change hearts.
01:22:07I hope that tonight, my music did just that.
01:22:29No.
01:22:30Wait.
01:22:32Please.
01:22:33Let me see him.
01:22:39Antonio.
01:22:40You liar.
01:22:44Why did you sacrifice everything for me?
01:22:48Antonio, I love you.
01:22:51Please don't leave me.
01:22:58You should really leave that poor man in peace, Shannon.
01:23:07And if you're going to confess, you should do it to the right man.
01:23:12You scared me half to death, you idiot.
01:23:15Yeah.
01:23:17Had I heard about your performance, your mother would be proud.
01:23:21Are you proud?
01:23:28More than you'll ever know.
01:23:35Yeah.
01:23:37Sir, we found Josh Lowe.
01:23:39He has confessed his crime with Catherine to orchestrating Lucy's accident and attempting to harm Shannon.
01:23:45What is it?
01:23:47There's something you need to know about your mother's tragedy.
01:23:56Why, Catherine?
01:23:58Why did you kill my mom?
01:24:00She was your sister.
01:24:01She stopped being my sister the moment she stole my man.
01:24:05Antonio was supposed to be mine.
01:24:07I was never Lucy's.
01:24:09And I can never love someone as heartless as you, not for a single moment.
01:24:12Of course you couldn't.
01:24:14That's why I had Josh plant the rumors.
01:24:17Destroy your career.
01:24:19I needed you to fall straight into my hands.
01:24:22But even after everything I did, you still chose her.
01:24:25That bitch and her freaking mother.
01:24:28My love for Shannon has nothing to do with Lucy.
01:24:31I love her.
01:24:35You'll never belong with him.
01:24:38His family would never accept someone like you.
01:24:42That's enough, Catherine.
01:24:44You know I'm right, Antonio.
01:24:46The moment you leave for Europe, it'll all be over.
01:24:51You have no right to speak for our family, Catherine Barnes.
01:25:02If my son stands by her, then so will I.
01:25:06Father, I...
01:25:07Let me finish.
01:25:09I always thought that you cared more for your music than for your family.
01:25:14But I was wrong.
01:25:16Today I saw a man who was willing to give up everything he loved for someone else.
01:25:22Showing true responsibility.
01:25:24Thank you, father.
01:25:26You can't be serious.
01:25:29This girl is a whore.
01:25:31She's nothing but a whore.
01:25:33You've caused enough pain.
01:25:36They have my support, and nothing you can say will change that.
01:25:41Then you'll do nothing but face the consequences for your crimes.
01:25:45Officer, take her away.
01:25:48No, Antonio, you can't do this to me!
01:25:51You can't do this to me!
01:25:54Get your ass off me!
01:25:56Antonio!
01:26:02Hey.
01:26:04It's over now, Shannon.
01:26:20Mom. Dad.
01:26:24Justice has been served.
01:26:27And...
01:26:30I became the pianist you'd always dreamed I'd be.
01:26:40They'd be so proud of you.
01:26:49I miss them so much.
01:26:52But you're not alone anymore, Shannon.
01:26:59I understand now why you gave me that brooch, Lucy.
01:27:02You wanted me to protect her.
01:27:04To guide her, right?
01:27:07I'll keep my promise.
01:27:10I'll take care of Shannon for as long as I live.
01:27:15So please...
01:27:17Rest in peace.
01:27:30You are the star of my life, Shannon.
01:27:33Is this your graduation surprise?
01:27:37It's a little more than that.
01:27:44Shannon Wood, from the moment we met,
01:27:48you reminded me of how much I love you.
01:27:51I love you too, Shannon.
01:27:54Shannon Wood, from the moment we met,
01:27:58you reminded me of everything I never knew I needed.
01:28:01Your mother entrusted you to this world.
01:28:03And now, I want to be the one entrusted with your heart.
01:28:09Will you marry me?
01:28:12Yes! Yes, Antonio!
01:28:17You have made this
01:28:20the most unforgettable night of my life.
01:28:23This is only the beginning, my dear wife.
