00:00:00Doctor, is my mom gonna be okay? I'm sorry Grace, she has a brain hemorrhage. With
00:00:20immediate surgery there is a chance, but it'll cost five hundred thousand.
00:00:28I don't have that kind of money but mom needs me. I'll find a way to get the
00:00:35money. Please just save my mom. I can do that. Grace Miller! Rose, well thank God you
00:00:44two are here. Mom was working at the orphanage when she fainted and it's
00:00:47gonna cost five hundred grand. Five hundred grand? And where are we supposed to get that?
00:00:54Call off the surgery, doc. There's no way we're paying for that.
00:00:58Rose, what are you saying? She's our mom! She adopted us, you can't just-
00:01:03Enforced us to grow up dirt poor. She's a low-life worker, she doesn't deserve to be a mom.
00:01:07If it wasn't for her, we could have been adopted by someone rich!
00:01:10You guys hear yourself. She took us in when we had nothing. She gave us a home. She made
00:01:17sure that we were never hungry and you're just mad at her because she's not rich?
00:01:21Speaking of money, today's mom's paid it.
00:01:25This is mom's. Don't you dare touch it! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No, mom worked hard for that!
00:01:50Should be enough for a new iPhone, though. Mom needs that money for her surgery. You can't just take it!
00:01:54Sure we can, but that old hag's about to die. Her money's ours now.
00:01:58You want money? Pick it up!
00:02:13Consider this our donation to mom's surgery. Or funeral.
00:02:24I'll save you, mom.
00:02:31I'll save you, mom.
00:02:37I can sell blood for money. This is the only way I might be able to save mom.
00:02:49I'll take a seat, guys.
00:03:07Go ahead, take a seat, guys.
00:03:21Look, I've gathered you all here today for a very important announcement.
00:03:24Fifteen years ago, my mother, Mary Miller, disappeared to live a quiet life in a small town.
00:03:29But now, she is returning to take a rightful place as the CEO of the Phoenix Group, ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:36When the CEO has finally returned, Ms. Miller raised her son alone to build Phoenix Group.
00:03:41Now, after fifteen years, she's coming back.
00:03:44Even out of the public eye, she remains a legend. No one can match what she built.
00:03:49See, although my mother's been living in seclusion, we've remained in contact over the years.
00:03:54And she's adopted three children, who I believe will be joining our company very soon.
00:03:59Sir, we can't find your mother. She isn't answering our calls.
00:04:03What? My mother is missing?
00:04:06I want to sell my blood. Please.
00:04:11I have an extremely rare blood type. Type AB negative.
00:04:16You need it, and I need money for my mother's surgery.
00:04:19Please.
00:04:24We are at 400. I have to stop now, or you'll pass out.
00:04:44No, no, no, no. Don't, don't stop. I, I can't do it.
00:04:49I just keep, I just keep, I keep, I keep going.
00:04:53Miss?
00:04:54Miss?
00:04:55Miss?
00:04:56Miss?
00:04:56Miss?
00:04:57Grace, I told you to go home and rest. You just fainted from donating all that blood.
00:05:18I'm fine, doctor. How's my mom?
00:05:21Well, the operation was a success, but Grace, with your mother's condition, we're looking at some very expensive long-term care.
00:05:29Oh, I, I got it, doctor. She's my mom. I won't give up on her.
00:05:35She's very lucky to have you. I'll go work on the list of her medication.
00:05:45You adopted me, mom. You taught me what family was, love is. Don't worry. I'm not going to give up on you. I'm going to make sure you get better.
00:06:04It's been hours. Where is Miss Miller?
00:06:10If Miss Miller says she's returning, then she will find her.
00:06:16When she left 15 years ago,
00:06:18she left her to search for her.
00:06:27She'd never let that happen. Not on the day that she's supposed to return.
00:06:32Something's not right.
00:06:34Do whatever it takes.
00:06:36Flip this city upside down. I don't care, but we're going to find my mother.
00:06:40Yes, sir.
00:06:41Yes, sir.
00:06:49One day at work here will cover three days of mom's medication.
00:06:59Next.
00:07:00Sir, I'm here to work.
00:07:02Please, if there's any opportunity that you have,
00:07:05I would gladly take it.
00:07:06Come on, Grace.
00:07:08Everyone knows you passed out yesterday at the hospital.
00:07:10I can't have you dying on my sight.
00:07:11I'll lose my damn job.
00:07:13No, please, please.
00:07:14I'm begging you.
00:07:15Please, I really need the money.
00:07:17My mom will die without it.
00:07:19But with treatment, I mean,
00:07:21there's a chance that she may wake up.
00:07:24But if I give up,
00:07:25it's over for her.
00:07:26Please.
00:07:26If I catch you slacking off one time,
00:07:30I won't pay you a single penny.
00:07:36Thank you so much.
00:07:37You can trust me.
00:07:38I am a hard worker.
00:07:40Next.
00:07:44Don't worry, Mom.
00:07:45I'll make enough money,
00:07:46and you'll get better.
00:07:47All right, time for lunch.
00:08:08Get back to work as soon as you're finished.
00:08:12Grace.
00:08:15Lucy, what's wrong?
00:08:16You have to get home right now, Grace.
00:08:18Your sister and brother are selling your mom's house.
00:08:27We've turned this whole house upside down.
00:08:31I can't believe the old hag doesn't even have any savings.
00:08:33Whatever.
00:08:33Just forget it.
00:08:34Let's get down to business.
00:08:35We're going to send here to this letter.
00:08:37You see this, Mom?
00:08:39You ruined our life at a better chance
00:08:42with a rich family.
00:08:43Now, with just one little stamp here,
00:08:45you'll give us what we deserve.
00:08:47As if this old hag can cure you.
00:08:49Just get it over with already.
00:08:54What are you doing?
00:08:58Mom.
00:08:59Mom, are you okay?
00:09:05You're trying to steal Mom's house?
00:09:07You can't do that.
00:09:08Mom worked hard for it.
00:09:09Fine.
00:09:11If she doesn't want us to sell it,
00:09:12then we won't.
00:09:13Hmm?
00:09:14Go on.
00:09:15Say it.
00:09:16Say it.
00:09:17Hey, you old hag.
00:09:18Is anyone there?
00:09:19Hello?
00:09:20Can you speak up?
00:09:21Speak up!
00:09:22Get your filthy hands off of her.
00:09:25Be honest.
00:09:26You don't actually give a shit about Mom.
00:09:28You're just putting on a little show,
00:09:30hoping she'll magically wake up
00:09:31and give you everything.
00:09:32That's not true.
00:09:33Oh, poor little Grace trying so hard
00:09:37and your mommy can't even see.
00:09:40If you don't want to take care of Mom,
00:09:42that's fine.
00:09:42I'll do it myself.
00:09:44But I'm not going to let you
00:09:45take anything away from her.
00:09:46Try and stop us.
00:09:47No.
00:09:52Mom?
00:09:56Mom?
00:09:57Your finger's moving.
00:09:58Would you look at that?
00:10:02She's actually losing it.
00:10:06I saw it.
00:10:07Her finger's moving.
00:10:08She's trying to tell us something.
00:10:09Mom's brain is mush.
00:10:11The only thing moving in her head
00:10:12are the worms eating the rest of it out.
00:10:14Ah!
00:10:17Ah!
00:10:18Ah!
00:10:28You stupid bitch.
00:10:32I'm tired of repeating myself.
00:10:34Mom is dying.
00:10:35Dead people don't need a house.
00:10:38You know,
00:10:39William and I just want the best for you,
00:10:41little sis.
00:10:43Say,
00:10:44you and the mayor's son
00:10:45are the same age, right?
00:10:46Mayor's daughter-in-law
00:10:48sounds awfully nice.
00:10:50What?
00:10:51The mayor's daughter-in-law?
00:10:55After you and the mayor's son
00:10:56tie the knot,
00:10:57we'll send...
00:10:58that to a nursing home
00:11:02far, far away.
00:11:05She takes up too much space here.
00:11:07So there's the bride for my son.
00:11:17Well, son,
00:11:19she's the girl you said you liked, right?
00:11:21A real virgin.
00:11:23Just like me.
00:11:24All the other girls
00:11:25always run away.
00:11:27Not you.
00:11:29You'll be my first.
00:11:31Time to make you mad.
00:11:32No!
00:11:32No!
00:11:33Don't touch me!
00:11:44No!
00:11:44No!
00:11:45Don't touch me!
00:11:46You can't say no to me!
00:11:48My dad owns this town.
00:11:49Nobody says no to me.
00:11:52Look at you,
00:11:52acting so high and mighty.
00:11:55You're still selling your blood,
00:11:56aren't you?
00:11:57Just for a few pennies.
00:11:59We offer you
00:12:00a way out of poverty,
00:12:02and this is the way you repay us.
00:12:04Do you know how rich
00:12:05and powerful the mayor is?
00:12:07Mom's gonna die
00:12:08because you're too proud
00:12:10to spread your legs
00:12:11for the mayor's son.
00:12:12I'm not going to marry him.
00:12:15Don't you see, Grace?
00:12:16William and I
00:12:17are doing this
00:12:18for you and mom.
00:12:19You should be grateful.
00:12:21Half a million,
00:12:22and she's all yours tonight.
00:12:24Steep price for an orphan.
00:12:25I don't care, Dad!
00:12:27You promised me
00:12:27I can have her,
00:12:28and I want her.
00:12:30Give them what they want.
00:12:31If you want a grandson or not,
00:12:33she can work for us.
00:12:34Nice to meet you.
00:12:35Oh!
00:12:40Pleasure doing business with you, sir.
00:12:42My sister's all yours.
00:12:46No, no, no!
00:12:48No, Mom!
00:12:49Mom, please!
00:12:50Don't take me, Mom!
00:13:01No one sells my daughter.
00:13:22Get away from my daughter!
00:13:25Oh, Mom!
00:13:31Thank God you're awake!
00:13:33Don't scare us like that again, okay?
00:13:35I didn't know what to do!
00:13:37Yeah, Mom.
00:13:38We're so happy to have you back.
00:13:40It looks like you know
00:13:42exactly what you're doing.
00:13:48Selling the house.
00:13:49No, Mom, you have the wrong idea.
00:13:52We were selling the house
00:13:53to help pay for your treatment.
00:13:55Treatment?
00:13:56You didn't even want to pay
00:13:57for Mom's surgery.
00:13:58Don't listen to Grace's lies, Mom.
00:14:01William and I have been working
00:14:02day and night
00:14:03to pay for your surgery.
00:14:05No, that's not true.
00:14:06I was selling my blood
00:14:07to pay back...
00:14:08Grace, I know you seduced
00:14:10the mayor's son
00:14:10and are about to marry
00:14:11into a powerful family,
00:14:12but that doesn't mean
00:14:13you can lie to Mom's face.
00:14:15Grace was trying to marry
00:14:16into the mayor's family
00:14:17so she didn't have
00:14:18to take care of you.
00:14:19Rose and I had no choice
00:14:20but to sell the house.
00:14:20Enough!
00:14:22Just because I had
00:14:23my eyes closed
00:14:24doesn't mean that I didn't hear
00:14:26everything you said.
00:14:30And not only were you
00:14:31trying to just sell the house,
00:14:32but you were trying
00:14:33to sell your sister,
00:14:35Grace, as well!
00:14:38Mom, I'm so glad you're awake.
00:14:40I didn't know what else to do.
00:14:43Oh, my sweet daughter.
00:14:45I heard everything.
00:14:47Everything you did
00:14:48to keep me safe
00:14:49to keep me safe.
00:14:50Your mother
00:14:51will make these ingrits
00:14:53pay for what they did to you.
00:14:59This...
00:14:59This is just a silly house.
00:15:03And I would have given it to you
00:15:04without a second thought.
00:15:07But now,
00:15:08after the stunt
00:15:08that you two pulled,
00:15:10you won't get anything.
00:15:14Well, William and I
00:15:22would have considered
00:15:22looking after you
00:15:23if you were even
00:15:24moderately wealthy,
00:15:26but you're just poor.
00:15:28Do you know
00:15:29how goddamn embarrassing
00:15:31it is to call you
00:15:32our mother?
00:15:35Embarrassing?
00:15:36When we were orphans,
00:15:37nobody wanted us.
00:15:39Mom gave us a home.
00:15:40She saved us.
00:15:41saved us?
00:15:44I didn't choose
00:15:45the shitty life
00:15:46she offered us.
00:15:48Poor people
00:15:48shouldn't drag others
00:15:50into their suffering.
00:15:51That's not fair.
00:15:53Take it back.
00:15:56You see this,
00:15:57you old hag?
00:15:58We already have
00:15:59your signature
00:15:59and fingerprint
00:16:00on the inheritance letter.
00:16:02It's too late
00:16:03to stop us now.
00:16:04You're not getting
00:16:06anything from me.
00:16:07Not a single
00:16:08cent.
00:16:12Grace,
00:16:13do you have my phone?
00:16:15Oh, Grace,
00:16:17this is your mom's phone.
00:16:18You can keep it for now.
00:16:19Doctor,
00:16:20this phone is really nice.
00:16:22Are you sure
00:16:22it belongs to my mom?
00:16:23We took it from her pocket
00:16:24right before the surgery.
00:16:26Okay.
00:16:26Miss Miller.
00:16:43Alexander.
00:16:44It's me.
00:16:50My mother was in danger.
00:16:52Thanks to her
00:16:52adopted daughter,
00:16:53Grace,
00:16:53she's safe
00:16:54in a small town.
00:16:55I'm heading over there
00:16:56to bring her back home.
00:16:57Someone who dares
00:16:58to threaten Miss Miller
00:16:59must be insane.
00:17:00Let us come with you, sir.
00:17:01We should all be there
00:17:02to welcome her back.
00:17:03And we'll show
00:17:04those who crossed her
00:17:05who's boss.
00:17:10Sir,
00:17:10I've sent John Smith
00:17:11to check on your mother.
00:17:13Make sure he keeps her safe
00:17:14until I get there.
00:17:15These people are going
00:17:15to regret it
00:17:16for crossing her.
00:17:17Yes, sir.
00:17:17Come to mother.
00:17:19Wait,
00:17:19he has another son?
00:17:21No idea who the guy is.
00:17:22Wonder where she found
00:17:23this guy.
00:17:24Probably fished him
00:17:25out of a dumpster.
00:17:25Bet he's just as pathetic
00:17:27as she is.
00:17:28Another worthless
00:17:29charity case.
00:17:30Stop it.
00:17:32That's your brother
00:17:32you're talking about.
00:17:34Relax,
00:17:35Grace.
00:17:37Soon they'll be
00:17:37on their knees
00:17:38begging for forgiveness.
00:17:40Who do you think
00:17:41you are,
00:17:41you old hag?
00:17:42Some kind of superhero?
00:17:44The mayor
00:17:44is related
00:17:45to Mr. Smith,
00:17:46the man who transformed
00:17:48the Sterling Corp
00:17:49into the Phoenix Group's
00:17:50biggest subsidiary.
00:17:52He can make
00:17:52any person disappear.
00:17:54And guess what?
00:17:56They just called them
00:17:57about Gregory's weddings.
00:17:58He should be here
00:17:59at any moment.
00:18:00Mr. Smith,
00:18:01you mean
00:18:02John?
00:18:03Speaking as if
00:18:04she knows him personally.
00:18:05The man controls
00:18:06billions.
00:18:07The nerve
00:18:08on this woman.
00:18:09Let me explain
00:18:10something to you.
00:18:11Phoenix Group
00:18:12isn't just some company.
00:18:14They own
00:18:15everything.
00:18:16their
00:18:17untouchable
00:18:18God.
00:18:21It's just some
00:18:22birdwatching club.
00:18:25Mark my words.
00:18:27You'll
00:18:27when John Smith
00:18:31gets here.
00:18:33He's gonna be
00:18:33trembling
00:18:34in his
00:18:35boots.
00:18:36Mr. Smith
00:18:48has important
00:18:49business to attend to.
00:18:50Starting now,
00:18:51all roads
00:18:52headed to the town
00:18:53are closed off.
00:18:54I heard Mr. Smith
00:18:55has barely been seen
00:18:56in public
00:18:56ever since
00:18:57Miss Miller
00:18:57went into hiding.
00:18:58Wow.
00:18:59If Mr. Smith
00:19:00is going out like this,
00:19:01he must be doing business
00:19:02with a really important person.
00:19:03I never thought
00:19:04I'd ever meet
00:19:05Miss Miller in person.
00:19:06This is a once
00:19:07in a lifetime chance.
00:19:09She's the pride
00:19:10of the city.
00:19:11But sir,
00:19:12we don't even have
00:19:13a photo of her.
00:19:13We don't know
00:19:14what she looks like.
00:19:14I have other matters
00:19:15to attend to
00:19:16in that town anyway.
00:19:17Let's move out.
00:19:18We'll grab the photo later.
00:19:23Wait,
00:19:23you think
00:19:24Mr. Smith
00:19:25will kneel
00:19:26before someone
00:19:26like you?
00:19:28Oh,
00:19:28don't make me laugh.
00:19:31Oh,
00:19:31she's completely
00:19:31delusional.
00:19:33enough.
00:19:35I won't stand here
00:19:36and let you
00:19:37insult my mother
00:19:38like this.
00:19:40Know your place
00:19:41and shut up,
00:19:41you stupid bitch.
00:19:50Lay a hand
00:19:51with my daughter
00:19:52one more time
00:19:53and I'll make sure
00:19:54you don't use
00:19:55that hand again.
00:19:56What's wrong?
00:19:57Our money
00:19:58not good enough
00:19:58for you?
00:20:00Fine.
00:20:01Name your price.
00:20:02Everything has one
00:20:04just like you.
00:20:08Oh,
00:20:08how amusing.
00:20:11You think
00:20:11that you can
00:20:11you can buy
00:20:13me off?
00:20:14I would love
00:20:15to see you try.
00:20:17Hmm.
00:20:20Word is
00:20:21Miss Miller
00:20:21has an adoptive daughter
00:20:23Grace
00:20:23that's been
00:20:23taking care of her.
00:20:24Without her
00:20:25we might not
00:20:26see Miss Miller
00:20:26again.
00:20:27Miss Grace Miller
00:20:27must be
00:20:28someone special.
00:20:29There aren't a lot
00:20:30of daughters
00:20:30like her out there.
00:20:32It's me.
00:20:34Make sure
00:20:35to arrange
00:20:35an exceptional gift
00:20:36for Miss Miller.
00:20:37And prepare
00:20:38something special
00:20:39for Grace Miller.
00:20:40Only the best
00:20:41for the girl
00:20:41that saved Miss Miller.
00:20:45Sir,
00:20:45John Smith
00:20:46should be arriving
00:20:47to town any moment now.
00:20:48The signal there
00:20:49is terrible.
00:20:50I just sent him
00:20:50a photo of Miss Miller.
00:20:51He should be
00:20:52receiving it shortly.
00:20:53Look,
00:20:53my mother likes
00:20:54to keep low profile.
00:20:56So I want you
00:20:56to tell our people
00:20:57to shut down
00:20:57the entire neighborhood.
00:20:58Okay?
00:20:59I don't want anyone
00:20:59seeing my mother.
00:21:00Yes, sir.
00:21:02You think
00:21:02that you can
00:21:03buy me?
00:21:04Well,
00:21:05just look at you
00:21:05wearing those rags
00:21:07living in this
00:21:08filthy place
00:21:09and you have
00:21:10the nerve
00:21:11to reject my son.
00:21:13People like you
00:21:14should be on your knees
00:21:15kissing our feet
00:21:16thanking us
00:21:18for the chance
00:21:19at a better life.
00:21:21Your son
00:21:23is a worthless
00:21:24parasite.
00:21:25that vultures
00:21:27would refuse
00:21:28to eat.
00:21:30How dare you
00:21:32speak that way
00:21:32about my son?
00:21:47I was abandoned
00:21:48as a child.
00:21:50When I was 15 years old,
00:21:52my mom took me in
00:21:53and gave me a home.
00:21:54You may just see her
00:21:56as another nobody
00:21:57working lowly jobs
00:21:59with little money.
00:22:01But to me,
00:22:02she's the greatest mom
00:22:04in the world.
00:22:05She's my everything
00:22:06and I'm not just
00:22:07going to stand here
00:22:08and let you
00:22:09humiliate her.
00:22:10Boo-hoo!
00:22:11I'm in tears.
00:22:13Who cares
00:22:13if we insult
00:22:14this old hag?
00:22:15My husband
00:22:16is the mayor
00:22:17and we can do
00:22:18anything we want
00:22:19as a matter of fact.
00:22:20my son
00:22:21can take you
00:22:22right here
00:22:23and right now
00:22:24if he wants.
00:22:27I'm going to teach
00:22:28my wife some manners.
00:22:30No!
00:22:30No, don't!
00:22:31Stay back!
00:22:31Please!
00:22:32You will all
00:22:33regret this!
00:22:36No!
00:22:36Take that!
00:22:37Please!
00:22:37Holy shit!
00:22:46Is that John Smith?
00:22:48The mayor's got
00:22:49some family problems
00:22:50from what I hear
00:22:51and he's probably
00:22:52just here to
00:22:53help them out.
00:22:58What the hell?
00:22:59No, no, no!
00:22:59Go where?
00:23:00Let me!
00:23:01I could assure you
00:23:03the consequences
00:23:04for spreading
00:23:05unverified rumors
00:23:06in front of
00:23:07Mr. Smith
00:23:08are serious.
00:23:09Mr. Smith
00:23:09please let us go.
00:23:11Please sir,
00:23:11let us go.
00:23:12We had nothing
00:23:12to do with this.
00:23:13You should be
00:23:13talking to that
00:23:14family over there
00:23:15who rejected
00:23:16the mayor's son.
00:23:18You're lying.
00:23:20Who dare reject
00:23:21Gregory Warren?
00:23:22Don't they know
00:23:22he's related
00:23:23to Mr. Smith?
00:23:24We're not lying, sir.
00:23:25You can see
00:23:26for yourself
00:23:27their house
00:23:27is at the end
00:23:28of this road.
00:23:28All right.
00:23:29Looks like
00:23:31I'll have to
00:23:31take care
00:23:31of this myself.
00:23:33Don't let go of me!
00:23:34Stop!
00:23:35Stop!
00:23:43Hit her again,
00:23:44mother!
00:23:44We offer you
00:23:45everything
00:23:46and you choose
00:23:47to stay in this
00:23:47filth?
00:23:48Fine!
00:23:49Stay here
00:23:49and rot!
00:23:51My mother's love
00:23:52means everything
00:23:53to me.
00:23:54I'd rather
00:23:54stay in poverty
00:23:55by her side
00:23:56than live in a cage
00:23:57without her.
00:23:59Too bad
00:24:00that's not
00:24:00your decision
00:24:01to make.
00:24:04Too bad
00:24:05that's not
00:24:05your decision
00:24:06to make.
00:24:07Mr. Smith?
00:24:08He actually came.
00:24:09Only the famous
00:24:10John Smith
00:24:11could arrive
00:24:11in such style.
00:24:13Mr. Smith,
00:24:14thank you for coming.
00:24:15What's going on here?
00:24:16You're related
00:24:16to someone like me.
00:24:18Finding your son
00:24:18or wife
00:24:18should be the easiest
00:24:19thing in the world.
00:24:21It's these arrogant
00:24:22fools, sir.
00:24:22They have no idea
00:24:24the privilege
00:24:24they're throwing away.
00:24:26And Mr. Smith,
00:24:27they even had
00:24:28the audacity
00:24:29to threaten you.
00:24:30Said you would
00:24:30tremble before him.
00:24:32What?
00:24:32Someone dare threaten
00:24:34the John Smith?
00:24:35The head of Phoenix
00:24:37Group's most
00:24:37powerful subsidiary?
00:24:39The man that
00:24:40no one
00:24:41crosses.
00:24:42Yes,
00:24:43it's that woman
00:24:43right over there.
00:24:51Hello,
00:24:52John.
00:24:52Why does her voice
00:24:54sound so familiar?

00:24:59CEO,

00:25:03has relinquished
00:25:04full control
00:25:05of the company
00:25:06to her son.
00:25:08Mary,

00:25:10Anything to say
00:25:10at all, Mary,
00:25:11about the transition
00:25:12of power?
00:25:13Ms. Miller.
00:25:14Ms. Miller.
00:25:17Ms. Miller,
00:25:18I owe everything
00:25:19to you.
00:25:20You started
00:25:21Sterling Core
00:25:21and gave me my
00:25:22position.
00:25:23If you're really
00:25:24planning on leaving
00:25:25Phoenix Group,
00:25:25please,
00:25:26at least,
00:25:27let me drive you
00:25:28home.

00:25:31your gratitude,

00:25:33Sterling Group.
00:25:34I'm counting on you.
00:25:40How dare you
00:25:41use Mr. Smith's
00:25:42first name?
00:25:43Keep our boss's
00:25:44name out of your
00:25:44mouth before we're
00:25:45outside.
00:25:45Wait!
00:25:45You keep our boss's
00:25:52name out of your
00:25:52mouth or else I'll-
00:25:53Wait!
00:25:55You.
00:25:56You know who I am.
00:25:57Mr. Smith,
00:25:58listen to this
00:25:59filth trying to
00:26:00pretend she knows
00:26:01you.
00:26:01Yes, I do
00:26:03know you,
00:26:04John.
00:26:05How dare you
00:26:06address Mr. Smith
00:26:07like that?
00:26:08Trash like you
00:26:09should show
00:26:10respect!
00:26:11Mr. Smith,
00:26:12this is just some
00:26:13old woman who
00:26:14works as a chief
00:26:15laborer at the
00:26:15orphanage nearby.
00:26:17A day laborer?
00:26:18I must have
00:26:19mistaken her for
00:26:19someone else.
00:26:20What happened to
00:26:21all your threats?
00:26:22Weren't you just
00:26:23saying how Mr. Smith
00:26:24would tremble and
00:26:25fall to his knees?
00:26:26You said that?
00:26:27I did.
00:26:28Who do you think
00:26:29you are, huh?
00:26:31Don't touch my
00:26:32mom.
00:26:34Oh, you want to
00:26:34be brave too?
00:26:36Huh?
00:26:38Mr. Smith,
00:26:39it's a message
00:26:40for Mr. Miller.
00:26:41It's a photo
00:26:42of Mrs. Miller.
00:26:47It's a photo
00:26:48of Mrs. Miller.
00:26:49You mean
00:26:50Miss Miller?
00:26:51Yeah.
00:26:52She's Phoenix
00:26:52Group's CEO.
00:26:54They say she
00:26:54controls all the
00:26:55city.
00:26:56But she
00:26:56disappeared years
00:26:57ago when she
00:26:58gave control to
00:26:59her son when
00:27:00he turned 18.
00:27:01We could have
00:27:01been living the
00:27:02high life if she
00:27:03had adopted us
00:27:04instead of being
00:27:04stuck with this
00:27:05worthless woman.
00:27:07Mr. Smith,
00:27:08you see,
00:27:08everything's ready
00:27:09for the wedding.
00:27:10If you could just
00:27:11help us convince
00:27:12the bride.
00:27:13Mrs. Miller is
00:27:13here in town
00:27:14somewhere.
00:27:15I have to find
00:27:15and greet her.
00:27:16Can't let this
00:27:17petty situation
00:27:18get in the way.
00:27:19Take her to the
00:27:20church.
00:27:21No, let me...
00:27:25Try to get past
00:27:26me.
00:27:26See how that
00:27:27works.
00:27:33See how that
00:27:35works out for you.
00:27:35Move aside,
00:27:36ma'am.
00:27:36Mr.
00:27:41So, this is how
00:27:49you run Sterling
00:27:49Group now.
00:27:51Torment the weak
00:27:52and throw your
00:27:54weight around?
00:27:54Shut your damn
00:27:55mouth.
00:27:56Stripper, let her
00:27:59mother watch what
00:28:00happens to people who
00:28:01define you.
00:28:03You are making your
00:28:05last mistake.
00:28:06You think I'm scared
00:28:07of some empty
00:28:08threats from an old
00:28:09hag in a wheelchair?
00:28:11What are you gonna
00:28:12do about it?
00:28:13No, no, no,
00:28:15no, no.
00:28:16How could I be so
00:28:44foolish?
00:28:44Miss Miller, the CEO
00:28:46of Phoenix Group, is
00:28:48right in front of my
00:28:48eyes.
00:28:50Mr. Smith is about
00:28:51to teach this old
00:28:52woman a lesson that
00:28:53she should never open
00:28:54her mouth.
00:28:55Just watch.
00:28:56Well, that'll teach
00:28:57you to disrespect
00:28:58someone like Mr.
00:28:59Smith.
00:28:59Crawl on the ground
00:29:00and beg for
00:29:01forgiveness, you
00:29:02pathetic old hag.
00:29:03That's right.
00:29:04Go on and grovel
00:29:06before he destroys
00:29:07you.
00:29:08I have no need to
00:29:09apologize.
00:29:10I meant every word
00:29:11that I said.
00:29:12I said that when
00:29:14John Smith gets
00:29:15here, he will
00:29:16tremble and fall
00:29:17to his knees
00:29:18and that is
00:29:18exactly what
00:29:19will happen.
00:29:22What planet
00:29:23are you even
00:29:24living on?
00:29:25You're not just a
00:29:26beggar.
00:29:26You're a complete
00:29:27lunatic.
00:29:28heck?
00:29:28Oh, my God.
00:29:58Sir, what's the matter?
00:30:02On your knees.
00:30:04But, sir, she's just some...
00:30:05I said on your knees!
00:30:12Are you all deaf?
00:30:14Get on your knees!
00:30:17Mr. Smith, what's this all about?
00:30:19Are you not feeling well?
00:30:21What did this brain-dead bitch do to him?
00:30:24Get him away before whatever's riding in her head spreads!
00:30:27Mr. Smith, what are you doing?
00:30:32I'm warning you.
00:30:33Do not disrespect this woman.
00:30:36She is.
00:30:38She is.
00:30:39She is nothing but a pathetic waste of space.
00:30:42She can't even stand on her own two feet.
00:30:45Her brain is riding away, and she doesn't have a penny to her name.
00:30:48Are you seriously going to defend this old witch?
00:30:55Looks like you remember me now, John.
00:30:59Why don't you tell everyone else who I am?
00:31:01Go ahead.
00:31:04Address him as Mr. Smith, you disrespectful old hag.
00:31:08Mr. Smith, we never wanted her as her mother.
00:31:13We've already cut ties with this woman.
00:31:15We don't support her behavior at all.
00:31:18Please, don't punish us for her actions.
00:31:22I understand you're upset, Mr. Smith.
00:31:24Let me remove this worthless woman.
00:31:26Please, all of you.
00:31:34Mr. Smith, why are you protecting her?
00:31:37She's beneath you.
00:31:38Mr. Smith, please.
00:31:40We're family.
00:31:41Family?
00:31:42You're just distant relatives.
00:31:45The only reason I maintain contact with you
00:31:48is because someone told me to never forget where I came from,
00:31:50and that someone is her.
00:31:52She helped me build Sterling Core for nothing.
00:32:03John, return my daughter to me,
00:32:06and we'll discuss your actions later.
00:32:09Yes, Miss Miller.
00:32:09No one will ever hurt you again, okay?
00:32:27Who the hell are you?
00:32:37On behalf of Sterling Core,
00:32:38I formally welcome you back to Phoenix Group.
00:32:42Welcome back, boss.
00:32:45She's the CEO of Phoenix Group?
00:32:53Phoenix Group's CEO?
00:32:55Huh, that's impossible.
00:32:57There must be some mistake.
00:32:58This old hag doesn't even have money.
00:33:00Just look at her.
00:33:01Yeah, the richest CEO in the country wearing bargain bin clothes,
00:33:06working at an orphanage, and living in this dump.
00:33:09Please.
00:33:09Do you even hear yourself?
00:33:11If it wasn't for Miss Miller living a modest life,
00:33:14you'd still be orphans, you ungrateful brats.
00:33:16And you.
00:33:19You must be the adoptive daughter who saved Miss Miller.
00:33:23Don't be afraid.
00:33:25You're Miss Miller's daughter,
00:33:26and the only one who protected her.
00:33:28And now, Sterling Core will protect you.
00:33:30If anyone tries to harm you,
00:33:33they'll pay the price.
00:33:34I just want to stay with my mom and take care of her.
00:33:36Please.
00:33:39Don't let them force me to marry this man.
00:33:45My sweet girl.
00:33:48No way!
00:33:49My parents paid good money for you,
00:33:51so you belong to me now.
00:33:52Your mother can run in a nursing home for all I care.
00:33:55Nobody touches my daughter.
00:33:57John, break his wrist!
00:34:00John, break his wrist!
00:34:03Help!
00:34:06Mr. Smith, please don't do this!
00:34:09Please, he's our only son!
00:34:11Please, he's all we've got!
00:34:13You love your son like I love my daughter,
00:34:16and yet you let him terrorize Grace,
00:34:19and you didn't say anything.
00:34:21And now you want to apologize?
00:34:24It's too late.
00:34:25But your daughter is fine.
00:34:27Do you really have to do this?
00:34:29If I let this go today,
00:34:31then you'll keep terrorizing those weaker than you,
00:34:34like my daughter.
00:34:35So today there will be a lesson
00:34:36for not only your son,
00:34:38but for everyone else.
00:34:40Mark my words.
00:34:43Who do you think you are
00:34:44barking at my parents and brother?
00:34:46Move or I'll end you all!
00:34:51Brittany, my sweet daughter.
00:34:53Thank God you're here.
00:34:55Don't worry, Dad.
00:34:56I've got this under control.
00:34:58Did you forget?
00:35:00My boyfriend is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:35:03So what, young lady?
00:35:06And this is Alexander's mother,
00:35:08Miss Miller,
00:35:09CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:35:11She is not the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:35:14She's a fraud!
00:35:18What are you talking about?
00:35:20Just because you're dating Alexander's lapdog
00:35:22doesn't mean you can run your mouth
00:35:23and spread lies.
00:35:24Lies?
00:35:25I've seen the Phoenix Group CEO
00:35:27with my own two eyes.
00:35:29She got me a present for my birthday.
00:35:40Sean, what's wrong?
00:35:41Today's my girlfriend's birthday
00:35:42and she wants me to invite
00:35:44Miss Mary Miller to her party.
00:35:47What?
00:35:48She's so secluded
00:35:49even her own son can't see her
00:35:51whenever he wants.
00:35:53How do you expect her
00:35:54to agree to meet your girlfriend?
00:35:57Wait.
00:35:59What if you pretend to be her?
00:36:01Nobody even knows
00:36:02what she looks like
00:36:04outside of the board anyway.
00:36:05Pretend to be CEO
00:36:07for my girlfriend's birthday party
00:36:09and I'll get working on that promotion
00:36:10that you've been wanting for years.
00:36:11Oh, yeah?
00:36:16Hmm.
00:36:18Fine.
00:36:19I'll do it.
00:36:21Young lady,
00:36:23I don't know who your family is
00:36:25but you better believe
00:36:26that I could destroy them
00:36:28with one phone call.
00:36:30Everyone here sees
00:36:31that you're just broke
00:36:33and delusional.
00:36:34Cut the act,
00:36:36you widowed hag!
00:36:39Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:36:41I'm going to have my boyfriend
00:36:42expose you for the fraud
00:36:44you really are.
00:36:46I'm on my way.
00:36:59My mother's coming back
00:36:59to the Phoenix group today
00:37:00so I want you guys
00:37:01to get her something
00:37:02absolutely spectacular, okay?
00:37:04It's time to show this city
00:37:06who's really been behind our success.
00:37:08Also, I want you to get
00:37:09something for that girl.
00:37:10The one that she adopted
00:37:11that's been taking care of her.
00:37:13She's my sister now
00:37:14so get her something grand
00:37:15as well.
00:37:19Boss,
00:37:19is everything okay?
00:37:21I need you to do something
00:37:22for me.
00:37:23It's about Brittany.
00:37:24Someone causing
00:37:24your girlfriend trouble?
00:37:26Don't worry,
00:37:27I'll handle it.
00:37:28I'll make them beg for mercy
00:37:29for what they've done.
00:37:31Take her right here.
00:37:32Gotta handle something for Sean.
00:37:34Yes, sir.
00:37:39Hear that?
00:37:40My daughter's boyfriend
00:37:41is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:37:44He's one of Phoenix group's
00:37:45rising stars.
00:37:46You picked the wrong people
00:37:47to mess with.
00:37:48You're done for.
00:37:50Thank God we cut ties
00:37:51with you, you crazy old witch.
00:37:53You almost gave me
00:37:54a heart attack,
00:37:55you old hag.
00:37:56Turns out,
00:37:56you were a fraud all along.
00:37:58You.
00:38:00Who would have thought
00:38:01our daughter
00:38:02would end up dating
00:38:03Alexander's right-hand man?
00:38:06When her boyfriend gets here,
00:38:07we're gonna strip you
00:38:08and your daughter
00:38:09naked and throw you
00:38:10into the streets.
00:38:12Let everyone see
00:38:13how we treat liars
00:38:14like you.
00:38:15I'm afraid you're in
00:38:16for quite a disappointment.
00:38:18Still acting tough?
00:38:20You really are shameless.
00:38:22Mom.
00:38:23John,
00:38:24handle this right now.
00:38:26She's scaring my daughter.
00:38:27Yes, Miss Miller.
00:38:37Back off, John!
00:38:42You're just some
00:38:43low-level manager.
00:38:44My boyfriend
00:38:45will destroy your career
00:38:46if you touch me!
00:38:49Did you just hit me?
00:38:54Not bad for an old hag.
00:38:56I get it now, John.
00:38:57You're siding with this
00:38:58disgusting little.
00:39:02Oh, did I hurt a nerve?
00:39:06Gets here.
00:39:07I'm going to tell him
00:39:08that you hit me
00:39:09for this old slut.
00:39:11You're dead!
00:39:12You really think
00:39:14your boyfriend
00:39:15is that important
00:39:16to me?
00:39:19He's nothing.
00:39:20But he doesn't even
00:39:21deserve to clean
00:39:22the dirt off my shoes.
00:39:25Nobody insults
00:39:26Mr. Sean Parker
00:39:27and lives to talk about it!
00:39:29Mike?
00:39:30Why are you alone?
00:39:32Where's Sean?
00:39:32Relax, Miss.
00:39:34Sean and Miss Miller
00:39:35have more important matters
00:39:36than dealing with trash.
00:39:37So,
00:39:38who's been causing trouble
00:39:39for my boss's girlfriend?
00:39:41It was this piece
00:39:42of garbage right here.
00:39:44She said that
00:39:45Mr. Sean Parker
00:39:46didn't deserve
00:39:46to clean the dirt
00:39:47off her shoes.
00:39:49And she's pretending
00:39:50to be the CEO
00:39:51of Phoenix Group,
00:39:52Miss Miller!
00:39:55Miss Miller?
00:39:59Miss Miller,
00:40:00old hag.
00:40:02You've got some nerve
00:40:03pretending to be
00:40:04Miss Miller.
00:40:05Open your eyes.
00:40:07She is Miss Miller.
00:40:09Right.
00:40:09And I'm the Queen
00:40:10of England.
00:40:11Tell you what.
00:40:13If she's really
00:40:15the CEO,
00:40:16I'll tattoo fool
00:40:17on my forehead.
00:40:19Nice performance,
00:40:21John.
00:40:21Good thing I met
00:40:22the real CEO
00:40:23at Brittany's birthday party
00:40:24or I might have
00:40:25fallen for your little act.
00:40:26I don't know
00:40:27who you think you met,
00:40:28but that was not
00:40:29the CEO.
00:40:31If my mom
00:40:31really lied,
00:40:32it was to protect me
00:40:33from being forced
00:40:34to marry the mayor
00:40:35son.
00:40:36But if she isn't
00:40:37the CEO of Phoenix Group,
00:40:39then I apologize.
00:40:41Just please,
00:40:42don't hurt my mother.
00:40:45Well,
00:40:46what do we have here?
00:40:47Quite the pretty
00:40:48little thing.
00:40:50Since you're
00:40:50such a good daughter,
00:40:52I'll let this lie.
00:40:54Under one condition.
00:40:58Marry the mayor's son.
00:41:03And I'll forgive
00:41:04your mother's lies.
00:41:05Grace,
00:41:05don't listen to this fool.
00:41:09Mom,
00:41:10I never thought
00:41:12that I would have
00:41:13a real family.
00:41:15And then you adopted me.
00:41:18You gave me everything.
00:41:21Love, protection,
00:41:22a life.
00:41:25I owe you everything.
00:41:28So if...
00:41:28So if...
00:41:29So if marrying
00:41:31the mayor's son
00:41:32will protect you,
00:41:34then I'll do it.
00:41:41Back off
00:41:42while you still can.
00:41:43If you hurt Grace
00:41:44or cross Miss Miller,
00:41:45you'll pay the price.
00:41:47Look at you,
00:41:47John.
00:41:48Completely entangled
00:41:49in this fraud spell.
00:41:51You know what's
00:41:51going to happen today,
00:41:52John?
00:41:53Huh?
00:41:53The real Miss Miller
00:41:55is returning
00:41:56to Phoenix Group.
00:41:57When Alexander finds out
00:41:59you're helping
00:42:00some imposter,
00:42:02you're finished.
00:42:04Miss Miller's returning
00:42:05to Phoenix Group today?
00:42:06With your boyfriend
00:42:08being Mr. Miller's assistant,
00:42:10surely you'll meet
00:42:11Miss Miller.
00:42:12Oh, please,
00:42:14let me come with you.
00:42:15I'd do anything
00:42:17to see Miss Miller.
00:42:18Miss Miller
00:42:19Miss Miller
00:42:19is a very private person.
00:42:22Most employees
00:42:22haven't even seen her.
00:42:24Well,
00:42:25I guess I could
00:42:26let you see her
00:42:26from a distance.
00:42:29Now then,
00:42:31time to deal
00:42:31with our
00:42:32little problem.
00:42:34Can't have these
00:42:35frauds
00:42:36causing trouble
00:42:37on such an important day.
00:42:41You fool!
00:42:42This woman
00:42:43is the real
00:42:43CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:42:45Mr. Miller
00:42:45sent me her photo.
00:42:47It's right here.
00:42:47It's right here.
00:42:55A photo?
00:42:57That can't prove anything.
00:42:58Anyone could fake
00:42:59that using AI.
00:43:00With AI these days,
00:43:01you can make
00:43:02any photo you want.
00:43:04You can't fool us.
00:43:05Look at her.
00:43:06She's just
00:43:07a pathetic nothing.
00:43:09Faking photos
00:43:09to play CEO?
00:43:11God,
00:43:12I've never seen
00:43:13anyone so desperate.
00:43:14What happened
00:43:14to all that talk
00:43:15about honesty
00:43:16and respect
00:43:17as we grew up,
00:43:18Mom?
00:43:19Or does that not apply
00:43:20to an old hag
00:43:20like you?
00:43:22You are
00:43:22good looking
00:43:23for your age.
00:43:26No wonder
00:43:27you've got John
00:43:27wrapped around
00:43:28your finger,
00:43:29you witch.
00:43:30Shut your damn mouth!
00:43:31Stay away from her,
00:43:32you monster!
00:43:33Ah!
00:43:33Ah!
00:43:34Ah!
00:43:34Ah!
00:43:35Ah!
00:43:35Good thing we've got
00:43:38some time on our hands
00:43:39anyway.
00:43:40And broke?
00:43:41Single moms
00:43:42are my favorite kind.
00:43:44Fuck.
00:43:47A feisty one,
00:43:48huh?
00:43:49Just the way I like it.
00:43:50You sure this is
00:44:04the right location?
00:44:06The coordinates
00:44:06let us here, sir.
00:44:07The mayor will know
00:44:08where she is.
00:44:10This is perfect!
00:44:11The mayor's about to see
00:44:12his future son-in-law
00:44:13working right beside
00:44:14the great Alexander Miller.
00:44:16This couldn't be better!
00:44:17Well then,
00:44:18what are we waiting for?
00:44:19Let's go find the mayor!
00:44:20Yes, sir.
00:44:27Um,
00:44:28this is private property,
00:44:29you can't just-
00:44:30That is Alexander Miller
00:44:31of the Phoenix Group
00:44:32that you're speaking to.
00:44:34Where is the mayor?
00:44:35I need him to find my mother.
00:44:38Alexander Miller?
00:44:40It is an honor
00:44:41to meet you.
00:44:42We-
00:44:42this wedding celebration.
00:44:45Wait a second,
00:44:46do you-
00:44:50I saw-
00:44:51I didn't realize the mayor
00:44:55had such great connection.
00:44:56Right?
00:44:57Oh,
00:44:58that old woman
00:44:59will now regret
00:45:00not marrying her daughter
00:45:01into the mayor's family.
00:45:03Can you believe that?
00:45:04That dead, broke vegetable?
00:45:06She acts all high and mighty,
00:45:08but you know what?
00:45:09That girl's not even
00:45:10really her daughter.
00:45:11She's adopted.
00:45:13That woman.
00:45:15Is she a single mother
00:45:16to three orphans?
00:45:18That's her,
00:45:19all right.
00:45:19But don't worry,
00:45:20sir, okay?
00:45:21The mayor has this town
00:45:22under control,
00:45:23and you know what?
00:45:24He's gonna teach
00:45:25that old hat.
00:45:26Oh!
00:45:27Oh!
00:45:28What did you just call her?
00:45:30That woman you just insulted
00:45:32is my mother,
00:45:34the CEO of the Phoenix Group.
00:45:37CEO of the Phoenix Group?
00:45:39That can't be.
00:45:41Pick that piece of shit up
00:45:43and have him take us
00:45:44to my mother.
00:45:44Yes, sir.
00:45:50You will regret every word
00:45:52that you said
00:45:52about the Miller family.
00:45:53Once Ms. Miller comes back,
00:45:55her daughter Grace
00:45:56will be a part
00:45:57of the Phoenix family.
00:45:59If you think
00:46:00the mayor's son
00:46:01can marry some of her stature,
00:46:03you're delusional.
00:46:04I want to meet
00:46:05this mayor myself.
00:46:07The audacity
00:46:08to treat Ms. Miller
00:46:09and her daughter like this?
00:46:13Oh, I need to warn the mayor.
00:46:17Just the way I like it.
00:46:21How dare you talk
00:46:22to Ms. Miller like that?
00:46:28Joe, she wants a real man now, John?
00:46:30By the time I'm done with her,
00:46:32she won't be moving
00:46:32that wheelchair anymore.
00:46:34Your problem is with me.
00:46:36Sterling Corp protects her on,
00:46:37and we will die
00:46:38defending our boss.
00:46:43You must be giving John
00:46:44something real special.
00:46:45Why else would he risk
00:46:46everything with Phoenix Group
00:46:47to back up your pathetic lives?
00:46:49You won't live
00:46:50to see another day.
00:46:52Then I better make the most of now.
00:46:58Please, stop!
00:47:00Everyone, stop!
00:47:03What is it?
00:47:04Can't you see we're busy?
00:47:06That woman,
00:47:06you're threatening,
00:47:07she...
00:47:07She's nothing but an old widow.
00:47:16This is our town.
00:47:17We know what we're doing.
00:47:18Right.
00:47:19Especially with Alexander's people
00:47:20on our side.
00:47:22The sky could fall right now,
00:47:24and I'm still going to have my fun
00:47:25with you.
00:47:25Yeah?
00:47:26Well, when it falls,
00:47:29you'll be the first one
00:47:30to crumble.
00:47:31This is Phoenix Group's turf,
00:47:34and I'm Sean Parker's
00:47:35right-hand man.
00:47:36Your precious boss
00:47:37should be on your knees
00:47:38before me.
00:47:38Just because you're
00:47:39some assistant's lap dog,
00:47:42it doesn't mean
00:47:42you're untouchable.
00:47:44Why don't you just
00:47:45make the call?
00:47:46Then we'll see how
00:47:47untouchable you really are.
00:47:50What's wrong?
00:47:51Are you getting nervous?
00:47:52Who could she possibly call?
00:47:54It's not like she has
00:47:55Alexander on speed dial.
00:47:59Let her make the call.
00:48:01I want to see who
00:48:02this pathetic widow
00:48:03runs to for help.
00:48:05Go ahead.
00:48:06Show us these powerful
00:48:07connections of yours.
00:48:10Stop!
00:48:10Don't let her make the call!
00:48:13Stop!
00:48:14Don't let her make the call!
00:48:16Shut your worthless mouth!
00:48:19You have no right
00:48:20to speak here!
00:48:21Afraid of a little phone call?
00:48:23That's Mike
00:48:24from Phoenix Group.
00:48:25No one in the city
00:48:27dares cross him.
00:48:29But, but, but she's...
00:48:30But, but, but...
00:48:32Can't even form a sentence?
00:48:34What, do you think
00:48:35this nobody's gonna call
00:48:36THE Alexander Miller?
00:48:38Not another word.
00:48:39You're wasting our time.
00:48:41I need to get ready
00:48:42to meet the real
00:48:42Miss Miller later
00:48:43when she returns
00:48:44to the company.
00:48:45Brittany's right.
00:48:46We're about to welcome back
00:48:48the great Miss Miller.
00:48:49Nothing's changing that.
00:48:50Don't say I didn't
00:48:52give you a chance.
00:48:54Make your call,
00:48:55you fraud.
00:49:05Who's this?
00:49:07Mother?
00:49:11I can't believe
00:49:14they'd do this.
00:49:15Look, Mom,
00:49:16I got this.
00:49:17Don't worry,
00:49:17don't worry.
00:49:17I'm gonna handle this,
00:49:18okay?
00:49:18I know exactly
00:49:19what to do.
00:49:22So, you're this
00:49:24old hag's emergency contact.

00:50:16Who are you?
00:50:17How the hell
00:50:17do you know
00:50:17my name?
00:50:25The signals
00:50:25are always bad here.
00:50:26We need to get
00:50:27to my mother
00:50:27in five minutes.
00:50:28Let's go.
00:50:28Move.
00:50:28Come on.
00:50:30Yes, sir.
00:50:30Yes, sir.
00:50:33You really had me
00:50:34fooled for a second
00:50:35there.
00:50:36I thought your friend
00:50:37was someone important.
00:50:38Turns out,
00:50:39he's just a coward.
00:50:40Couldn't even speak
00:50:41when he heard my voice.
00:50:42Couldn't say a word.
00:50:44Pathetic.
00:50:45Mike scared him
00:50:45speechless.
00:50:46Not so tough now,
00:50:48are you?
00:50:49You were, uh,
00:50:51clever.
00:50:52I'll give you that.
00:50:55I don't know
00:50:56how you managed
00:50:57to tell that friend
00:50:58of yours my name,
00:50:59but, uh,
00:51:00who cares?
00:51:01He's a spineless coward
00:51:03who can't even talk
00:51:05to me,
00:51:05let alone touch me.
00:51:06Stay away from her!
00:51:07That's right!
00:51:25He grew up in!
00:51:26Filthy slut.
00:51:40You make me sick!
00:51:53It came from over there.
00:51:54Let's go!
00:51:56The mayor's family is finished.
00:52:10Shane, should have been a kill shot.
00:52:15You just burnt your last bridge.
00:52:18You will regret this.
00:52:20I'm just punishing a couple troublemakers.
00:52:22Is that a crime?
00:52:24Shh.
00:52:26Now, it's just you and me.
00:52:29Don't worry.
00:52:30I can treat you better than John ever could.
00:52:32Do you have another nightmare?
00:52:48Yeah.
00:52:49I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:52:51You know I will always be here to protect you, right?
00:52:57I'm so sorry you have to go through that.
00:53:02Mom.
00:53:03This time, I'll protect you.
00:53:06Mom.
00:53:13Mom.
00:53:14It's your fault that we're in this mess.
00:53:17Just marry my brother like a good little girl and we'll let your mother go.
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:22We offered you a better life and this is how you repay us.
00:53:26Some people just need their gratitude beaten into them.
00:53:29Please, I'm begging you.
00:53:32Don't hurt my mom.
00:53:34Let her go and I'll marry Gregory, I swear.
00:53:37Well, that's better.
00:53:41Ew.
00:53:41Ugh.
00:53:42Ugh, you've had your fun.
00:53:52Wrap it up.
00:53:54Such a shame, hmm?
00:53:56I was just getting started.
00:53:57When I'm done with you, you're gonna regret you were ever born.
00:54:02Still making threats?
00:54:04An old hag like you should be grateful I even want to touch you.
00:54:07If Brittany hadn't interrupted.
00:54:09We'd be having some real fun right now.
00:54:15Having fun with who?
00:54:33Who is he?
00:54:35That's some entrance.
00:54:36Look at those clothes.
00:54:38Must be connected to the mayor.
00:54:39Oh, my sweet dog.
00:54:53Mom.
00:54:54Is...
00:54:55Is that really Miss Miller?
00:54:58You're not quite the entourage, baby.
00:55:00All this back up, just your little old knee?
00:55:03Brittany, you don't understand.
00:55:05This is, um...
00:55:06Alexander Miller.
00:55:07I-I didn't think you'd come here yourself.
00:55:10Alexander who?
00:55:11Alexander Miller?
00:55:13That's Alexander Miller?
00:55:15Miss Miller's son?
00:55:21Shit.
00:55:22That's Alexander Miller?
00:55:24He's even dreamier in person.
00:55:26Sir, that woman is delusional.
00:55:30She claims she's your mother, the CEO of Phoenix Crew.
00:55:33Sir, it's my son's wedding today.
00:55:37We would be honored if you could attend the reception.
00:55:39Uh, after you meet with the real Miss Miller.
00:55:42It's an honor to meet you, sir.
00:55:44I'm Sean's girlfriend, the mayor's daughter.
00:55:47You can call me Brittany.
00:55:49If you need anything in this town, my family's at your service.
00:55:52Brittany, shut up.
00:55:57What?
00:55:58It's not every day you meet the Alexander Miller.
00:56:01Also, think about it.
00:56:03If Miss Miller comes to my brother's wedding party, too,
00:56:06we'll be the talk of the town.
00:56:08If you want to invite my mother to your party,
00:56:11why don't you ask her yourself?
00:56:12Oh, what a brilliant idea.
00:56:15If you would be so kind as to lead us to her.
00:56:17There's no need for that.
00:56:18My mother is here right now.
00:56:26Where is she?
00:56:31Sir, are you playing some kind of trick on us?
00:56:35I don't see Miss Miller anywhere.
00:56:37I would certainly recognize her if she was in my town.
00:56:40Well, of course you would.
00:56:42Nothing happens here without the mayor knowing about it.
00:56:44Are you suggesting I wouldn't recognize my own mother?
00:56:48If what you're saying is true, when did she come to our town?
00:56:55Fifteen years ago.
00:56:56My mother came here to live in seclusion
00:56:59after she stepped down as the Phoenix CEO.
00:57:03Fifteen years ago?
00:57:05That's not possible.
00:57:06I'm so sorry it took so long, Mother.
00:57:18Come here, my son.
00:57:21You've gotten so old.
00:57:24I missed you.
00:57:27You're a beautiful man now.
00:57:29Phoenix Group CEO?
00:57:40Impossible.
00:57:45She's really Miss Miller?
00:57:47Phoenix Group CEO?
00:57:50There has to be some mistake.
00:57:52She's nothing but a filthy woman who works for the orphanage.
00:57:55That beggar could not possibly be the real Miss Miller.
00:58:02Miss Miller, please excuse my girlfriend's disgraceful behavior.
00:58:09I take full responsibility.
00:58:11Punish me as you see fit.
00:58:12Her adoptive mother is the famous Miss Miller?
00:58:15What have we done?
00:58:23One moment, Mother.
00:58:25Are you Grace?
00:58:28Take care, Mother.
00:58:32Let me handle this.
00:58:36Now it's time for you all to explain yourselves.
00:58:38This is all a misunderstanding.
00:58:52Apologize to my mother.
00:58:53Now.
00:58:57Miss Miller, I beg of you.
00:58:59I'm sorry.
00:59:01I'm so, so sorry.
00:59:02You're only apologizing now because you know who I am.
00:59:05As I said, you would regret being born.
00:59:10Guards, get him out of my sight.
00:59:12Make sure I never see his face in the city again.
00:59:18Sean, if that's the real Miss...
00:59:20Tell her.
00:59:24Tell her she's never really met me.
00:59:27Tell her that I'm the real CEO of Phoenix.
00:59:29Miss Miller, this worthless girl has caused nothing but trouble.
00:59:55I'll kill her myself if you'll forgive me.
00:59:57Someone like you doesn't even deserve to work at the Phoenix Group.
01:00:02Remove him!
01:00:08Miss Miller.
01:00:10We were wrong.
01:00:12We'll never do anything like this again.
01:00:15Please, have mercy.
01:00:18Forgive us just this once.
01:00:19You all tortured people for years.
01:00:24If I was to forgive you,
01:00:26you would go on and continue to hurt innocent people.
01:00:30Take them away.
01:00:31Deal with them accordingly.
01:00:33Take them away!
01:00:34Take them away!
01:00:35No!
01:00:36No!
01:00:36No!
01:00:36No!
01:00:36No!
01:00:43Where do you think you're going?
01:00:45I am not done with you two.
01:00:47What are you planning on doing with these two?
01:00:52You two wanted this house so badly.
01:00:55Burn it down!
01:00:57You don't deserve it.
01:00:58You heard my mother.
01:00:59Burn it down.
01:01:00Now!
01:01:01Yes, sir!
01:01:01Yes, sir!
01:01:01Yes, sir!
01:01:03Yes, sir!
01:01:05Yes, sir!
01:01:15Mother!
01:01:31Mother, please!
01:01:32For your children!
01:01:34All these years in seclusion,
01:01:47I gave you everything,
01:01:49and yet all you wanted was for me to die?
01:01:51You've really shown your true colors.
01:01:55And you know what?
01:01:56Now you never have to call me mother again.
01:01:58And you?
01:02:06You're not off the hook.
01:02:08I'll deal with you later.
01:02:11Yes, Miss Mother.
01:02:17My dear.
01:02:19Somebody very special I want to introduce you to.
01:02:22Grace.
01:02:23This is my son, Alexander.
01:02:25It's an honor to meet you, sir.
01:02:27Please, you're my sister now.
01:02:30There's no need for formalities.
01:02:32Mother, I've arranged a welcome banquet for you at the Cloud Peak Restaurant.
01:02:36What better occasion
01:02:38to introduce my daughter to the whole world,
01:02:42the future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:02:45It's a historical day for the Phoenix Group.
01:02:53The city must know.
01:02:55Our CEO is back.
01:02:57I'll send out the invitations.
01:03:05Is that your boyfriend?
01:03:07The one that was studying abroad?
01:03:08Yes.
01:03:10He promised me when he came back home that he would propose to me.
01:03:15I'm expecting him to pop the question anytime now.
01:03:19That's wonderful.
01:03:20Take the call, but why don't you also invite him to the banquet tonight, okay?
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:25Hi.
01:03:30Cloud Peak Restaurant.
01:03:32Yeah, I can meet you there.
01:03:36There's, um, actually something important I need to tell you.
01:03:39Oh, my God.
01:03:54Oh, my God.
01:04:00Oh, my God.
01:04:08Who's that beautiful young woman?

01:04:29Victoria?
01:04:31Long time no seep.
01:04:38You're there now.
01:04:47But you promised me you'd give me a ring when you came back.
01:04:53Oh, he did get a ring.
01:04:55Just not for you, loser.
01:04:59Shocked to see our son engaged to someone worthy of him.
01:05:02A proper match.
01:05:05At last.
01:05:06Unlike you.
01:05:07And your useless poor mother, who can't possibly help him in his career.
01:05:12That's right.
01:05:14My mother's a secretary at Phoenix Group.
01:05:16And she got Nathan the regional manager position at the company.
