00:00:00That was great.

00:00:02Thank you. Hi.

00:00:04Hi.

00:00:16Adam!

00:00:20That was great.

00:00:21Thank you. Hi.

00:00:22Hi.

00:00:25I cannot stand the thought of being apart from you, even for a month.

00:00:28You've been training for this tennis tournament forever.

00:00:31Don't be silly.

00:00:33You sure you can't come with me?

00:00:35You know I can't.

00:00:36I have to stay and work for my tuition.

00:00:39I'll cover it for you.

00:00:40You're sweet, but I can do this.

00:00:43We'll celebrate once you get back from the tournament.

00:00:46Here.

00:00:48I got this for you.

00:00:52You're going to promise me you'll wait for me.

00:00:57I love you.

00:00:58I love you, too.

00:01:11What am I going to do?

00:01:15I was going to go back.

00:01:16Yeah.

00:01:19Dad, stop.

00:01:20Stop.

00:01:20You're pregnant?

00:01:35With Adam's baby?

00:01:37Let me go.

00:01:38Look at you.

00:01:40Small town girl trying to trap Adam with a baby.

00:01:44Get rid of it.

00:01:46My son would never marry someone like you.

00:01:49This is between me and Adam.

00:01:50You have no right to interfere.

00:01:52I'm Adam's mother.

00:01:54And his future means everything to me.

00:01:57Line, being with you will ruin his life.

00:02:00And he'll regret it sooner or later.

00:02:03No, he won't.

00:02:04If he stays with you, he'll be cut off from his family.

00:02:09He'll have to give up his tennis dreams.

00:02:11And marry you and raise a kid.

00:02:12And do you really think your love's going to last?

00:02:21No.

00:02:22If I tell Adam about the baby, he'll quit the tennis tournament for it.

00:02:38But it's his dream.

00:02:40I can't take that away from him.

00:02:43His mom's right.

00:02:44Adam should be chasing his dreams, not be tied down to me.

00:02:52I'll give you my word, Lina.

00:03:07Lina, I love you.

00:03:10I'll come back for you.

00:03:19Lina, what the hell is going on?

00:03:22I haven't even left yet.

00:03:23You're cheating on me with this asshole.

00:03:24This is a joke.

00:03:26No, I just finally figured out my feelings.

00:03:32I promised I'd come back for you.

00:03:34That I'd win the Open and then we would...

00:03:36Why is everything always about you?

00:03:39Your tennis, your trophies, your career.

00:03:41That's all you care about.

00:03:42But Mark, Mark actually cares about me.

00:03:46Lina, I love you.

00:03:50I'm doing this for us.

00:03:52I want to give you the whole world.

00:03:56All you care about is yourself.

00:03:58And you'll only ever be a cocky star.

00:04:02We're done, Adam.

00:04:06That's right, loser.

00:04:08Bye.

00:04:09Now that you've broken up with him, can we start over?

00:04:21No, Mark.

00:04:23Thank you for pretending.

00:04:29Hi, Mark.

00:04:30Um, I want to get back together.

00:04:34What the hell do you mean?

00:04:36You asked me out.

00:04:37I'm sorry, I don't love you.

00:04:41You crazy bitch!

00:04:44Blame me like that.

00:04:46Don't you ever call me again.

00:04:50I'm sorry, Adam.

00:04:52Adam.

00:04:54Adam.

00:04:56Adam.

00:04:57Adam.

00:04:58Adam.

00:04:59Adam.

00:05:00It's the only solution.

00:05:14If I tell Adam.

00:05:15Oh, my bad.

00:05:29Oh, my bad.

00:05:30Oh, my goodness.

00:05:40Oh, that's incredible.

00:05:50Yeah, speaking of tennis, have you seen the news about that celebrity ex of yours?

00:05:57Everyone's saying he's now the most marketable athlete in the country.

00:06:01I spent my memory.

00:06:02I spent my memory.

00:06:03Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam.

00:06:04Adam, Adam, Adam.

00:06:05Adam, Adam.

00:06:06You are the youngest player ever to win the USA Open Tennis Championship.

00:06:09Living the club that made you famous can quite be a short shot.

00:06:13Tim's shirt.

00:06:14What's next for you?

00:06:15Comment.

00:06:16Comment.

00:06:21He did it.

00:06:22Just like he always said he would.

00:06:24What would you say to Adam if you saw him again?

00:06:28I don't know.

00:06:30We've been apart for eight years now.

00:06:37I just know that he can never find out that I have a son with him.

00:06:43Okay.

00:06:45Okay?

00:06:48No way.

00:06:49I mean, he is a superstar tennis player and I am taking out the trash and scrubbing toilets

00:06:56at the tennis courts in LA.

00:06:58Lena, it's been eight years.

00:07:11Where are you?

00:07:13Weakie-weakie.

00:07:14Earth to Lena.

00:07:15I need you to mop the floor and take out the trash.

00:07:30Sorry, Lisa.

00:07:31I will do that right now.

00:07:33Remember, my father is the manager of this club.

00:07:36He runs this whole place.

00:07:38You, on the other hand, are just a pathetic janitor.

00:07:41So, if I were you, I wouldn't talk back.

00:07:44Understand, Lena?

00:07:45Garbage.

00:07:46Now.

00:07:48Whatever you say.

00:07:50Come on!

00:07:51Our new star players do any minute and I need this place spotless.

00:07:55So, don't embarrass me today.

00:07:59New player.

00:08:07Welcome to the Los Angeles Club, Mr. Superstar.

00:08:11Everything starts today, right?

00:08:12Let's do this.

00:08:13You want to check out the new courts?

00:08:14Yeah, let's go.

00:08:15Adam!

00:08:16I'm missing so much.

00:08:17I can't believe you're finally joining our club and then we're getting engaged.

00:08:18Welcome, Adam.

00:08:19We're so happy to have you on our team.

00:08:20Same here.

00:08:21This is my friend Alan.

00:08:22He's going to be training with me at the LA Club as well.

00:08:24I'm excited to be here.

00:08:25Can't wait to win the championship with you guys.

00:08:26Same here.

00:08:27Alan, would you mind coming with me?

00:08:28I'm excited to be here.

00:08:29I'm excited to be here.

00:08:30Can't wait to win the championship with you guys.

00:08:31Same here.

00:08:32Alan, would you mind coming with me?

00:08:33Alan, would you mind coming with me?

00:08:34I'm excited to be here.

00:08:35Can't wait to win the championship with you guys.

00:08:36Same here.

00:08:37Alan, would you mind coming with me?

00:08:38Lisa, could you show me where the bathroom is?

00:08:39This way.

00:08:40I'm so happy to be here.

00:08:41I'm so happy to have you on our team.

00:08:42I'm so happy to have you on our team.

00:08:43Same here.

00:08:44This is my friend Alan.

00:08:45He's going to be training with me at the LA Club as well.

00:08:46I'm excited to be here.

00:08:47Can't wait to win the championship with you guys.

00:08:50Same here.

00:08:51Alan, would you mind coming with me?

00:09:02Lisa, could you show me where the bathroom is?

00:09:05This way.

00:09:06And here's our locker room, where we live with everything that you'll need.

00:09:17I hope you like it.

00:09:20I like it.

00:09:30I like it.

00:09:36I don't know.

00:09:40Oh no, he joined the L.A. club.

00:09:43What's he doing here?

00:09:45Lena?

00:09:53Don't touch him!

00:09:55You're covered in trash.

00:09:56You smell like a corpse.

00:09:57What a joke.

00:09:59It was an accident.

00:10:00Sorry, I was just taking out the trash.

00:10:02You're fired.

00:10:06Clean this mess first.

00:10:09Well, I don't work for you anymore, so why should I listen to you?

00:10:13Well, then you can forget about this month's pay.

00:10:24Wait, Lena.

00:10:25Actually, I'm looking for a personal assistant.

00:10:30Somebody to help me get familiar with the club, manage my schedule, run errands.

00:10:36I think you'd be perfect for it.

00:10:39What do you say?

00:10:41You want to be my personal assistant?

00:10:47You want to be my personal assistant?

00:10:49No.

00:10:52I'm sorry, I don't think I can.

00:11:02Bro.

00:11:04You promised we'd come here and win the trophies for the club.

00:11:08And then we'd be Grand Slam champions.

00:11:12Don't tell me you're here just for Lena.

00:11:14Alan.

00:11:15I came for the love of the game, Alan.

00:11:18Don't overthink it.

00:11:19Come on, let's go.

00:11:24Hi!

00:11:26Hi, my sweet boy!

00:11:28Everything okay?

00:11:30Yeah, it's fine.

00:11:31It's just, um...

00:11:33Adam?

00:11:34Daddy?

00:11:35You told him?

00:11:38You told him?

00:11:43You told him?

00:11:45No.

00:11:47Oh, wow.

00:11:48You have no idea how similar Sterling is to his dad.

00:11:51No, buddy.

00:11:52I'm not your dad.

00:11:54My name's Adam.

00:11:55I'm the new player at the club.

00:11:57Oh, my gosh!

00:11:58You're a tennis player?

00:12:00I love tennis.

00:12:01Can you teach me?

00:12:02Sure.

00:12:03Come on.

00:12:06There you go.

00:12:07Alright, another one.

00:12:08Perfect!

00:12:09Perfect.

00:12:10Alright, last one.

00:12:11One more.

00:12:12That's true.

00:12:13Top spin.

00:12:14Mommy!

00:12:17Do you have a son?

00:12:19No, Adam.

00:12:20We have a son.

00:12:21Yes?

00:12:22This is my son Sterling.

00:12:28She left me for Mark.

00:12:30Is Sterling there, kid?

00:12:31Uh, so did you want him to join the club?

00:12:35Yeah.

00:12:36And he's really talented.

00:12:37I'd like to help him achieve his dreams.

00:12:40Yay!

00:12:41Hey, this kid's really talented.

00:12:42I'd like him to be part of our club.

00:12:45Ma'am, your son is talented.

00:12:47I think you should join the club.

00:12:49Alright.

00:12:50Yay!

00:12:51Sterling can join the club!

00:12:52Great!

00:12:53How can you be so calm?

00:12:54If the secret dad of my baby showed up after eight years, I would lose my mind.

00:13:07Oh, yeah, it was crazy.

00:13:09Are you going to tell him?

00:13:12Tell him?

00:13:14Oh, hi, it's so nice to see you.

00:13:16Sorry I didn't tell you that I had your kid when I ditched you.

00:13:19Oh, by the way, thank you so much for getting me fired.

00:13:23You know, I need to find out why he's offering me this assistant job.

00:13:27I don't trust him.

00:13:29Well, I think you should take the job.

00:13:32He's probably still into you.

00:13:34No, no, no, Jenny, this is not the same guy I knew eight years ago, okay?

00:13:38He's a big superstar now, and what am I, hmm?

00:13:43Well, you need the job, and you need the money,

00:13:47so swallow your pride and take the assistant position, okay?

00:13:52And Adam has a right to know that he has a son.

00:13:55You can't keep sterling from his father forever.

00:14:04Lisa?

00:14:06Breaking tomorrow.

00:14:08Come to the court and clear your stuff, and get lost.

00:14:10Woo!

00:14:14That was great.

00:14:45Bye.

00:14:46Adam should be looking at me, not that dirty tramp.

00:14:56I swear, after today, she'll never set foot on this court again.

00:15:05Hey Adam.

00:15:06Here's your new tennis uniform.

00:15:09The other players will be here soon, so don't keep me waiting.

00:15:11I'm just going to take a quick shower and I'll come out and meet everybody.

00:15:18Okay.

00:15:19Seriously?

00:15:26Oops.

00:15:27Sorry, Lena.

00:15:28That was an accident.

00:15:29Sure it was.

00:15:30You should go rinse off.

00:15:31Don't want you stinking up the plants.

00:15:32Why is she so awful?

00:15:33The show's about to start.

00:15:39Hey, Adam was in there taking a shower and Lena walked in.

00:15:46It was like she was trying to secretly film him or something.

00:15:53What?

00:15:54Yeah.

00:15:55Oh my god, why is he in the shower here?

00:16:01Why are you here?

00:16:02You want to tell me what you're doing in the men's room?

00:16:03The men's room?

00:16:04What?

00:16:05Oh my god, did you hear that?

00:16:08We gotta go in there and see what's going on.

00:16:09Here we go, Lena.

00:16:10Don't let us catch you being embarrassing.

00:16:15Can I help you?

00:16:16Is Lena in here?

00:16:18I heard her screaming.

00:16:19Lisa?

00:16:22What?

00:16:23Are you going to tell me what you're doing in the men's room?

00:16:24The men's room?

00:16:25What?

00:16:26Oh my god, did you hear that?

00:16:27We gotta go in there and see what's going on.

00:16:28Here we go, Lena.

00:16:29Don't let us catch you being embarrassing.

00:16:30Can I help you?

00:16:35Is Lena in here?

00:16:36I heard her screaming.

00:16:37Lisa?

00:16:38me. Lisa? I told you that I would meet the team after I showered, and no, Lina's not

00:16:49here. No, I'm certain I heard Lina scream. What are you doing standing here? I heard

00:16:55Lina screaming. She went into the men's bathroom. I'm just trying to take a shower. There's

00:17:00no Lina here. If you guys really want to see me naked, then just come on in, I guess.

00:17:04No, I... Go. You know, if you really wanted to accept my job proposing, you could have

00:17:12just called me instead of dropping in on me like this. Why didn't you tell me you have

00:17:19a son? Why didn't you tell me you have a son? Why didn't you tell me you have a son? Why

00:17:27didn't you tell me you were joining the tennis club I work at? Are you stalking me? Stalking

00:17:31wrong. No, this was a professional choice. I have no idea that you were here. What

00:17:38is that supposed to mean? You don't have a wedding ring on? You're working a dead-end

00:17:42job, you're picking up trash? No. Things didn't work out between you and Mark, did they? That

00:17:48is none of your business. Well, it's okay, Lina. I can tell you don't have to hide it. You should

00:17:57really consider my job proposal. I do need a job, because I still have Sterling to raise.

00:18:04You need the job, and you need the money, so swallow your pride and take the assistant

00:18:08position okay? Fine. I'll accept your job, and I'll do my very best. But you and I will

00:18:20work together as equals. Right? Okay. That's all I want, Lina. Well, then have a wonderful

00:18:33shower. Surprise! What do you think of these engagement rings for us? They look great,

00:18:55so. At that moment, I heard the sound of my heart breaking. Wow! Mommy! I made these cupcakes

00:19:20by myself. Try them! I bet they're delicious. Thank you, my sweet boy. Mr. Taylor, listen,

00:19:32I don't think... Hi, Lina. It's good to hear your voice. I need you to go to the mall for me and pick

00:19:39up a jacket. It's urgent. Okay, can this wait until Monday, please? This is work, Lina. The store

00:19:46owner's expecting you today. So, now get going. Pick up the jacket for me. I'll send the address.

00:19:52Adam, I...

00:19:54Some weekend.

00:20:06Mommy! Look at that dress. You have to be so beautiful in it.

00:20:10Oh, thank you, sweetheart. I can't afford a new dress right now, but it is so pretty.

00:20:19Would you please get your dirty little hands off that...

00:20:26Oh, now you've gotten the dress dirty. You're gonna pay for that.

00:20:30I'm sorry. You startled my son. It was an accident.

00:20:34Excuse me? This is daycare or social services. So, you're gonna have to take responsibility for your actions.

00:20:41Okay. Yeah, well, take responsibility. How much is the dress?

00:20:45Fifteen thousand dollars.

00:20:48What?

00:20:50Sir, I don't have fifteen thousand dollars. Can we please come up with some sort of agreement or something?

00:20:55No, no, no, no, no. You destroyed it. You pay for it.

00:21:02You're not gonna get the dress.

00:21:09Fine.

00:21:14I'll pay for the damaged dress. How much?

00:21:18Fifteen thousand dollars.

00:21:21No, Adam.

00:21:23What's going on here?

00:21:24Oh, my dear, Mr. Adam. What a surprise. How can I assist you?

00:21:31This mean man was bullying us.

00:21:34No.

00:21:34How appalling.

00:21:36No.

00:21:36You're fired.

00:21:41Here's a hundred thousand dollars.

00:21:44Pack up the damaged dress as well as, what do you think?

00:21:49That one and that one. Send them to my place.

00:21:52It's my pleasure. Absolutely.

00:21:56Thank you, Mr. Taylor.

00:21:57You're welcome, buddy.

00:22:01Pretty rough day for my assistant, huh?

00:22:03Don't worry. I'll cover all this.

00:22:06Sorry.

00:22:06I'm your biggest fan. Can I take a picture?

00:22:09Sure. Yeah, of course.

00:22:14Jenny, I can't do this. I haven't been to a party in ages. Plus, I have sterling to take care of.

00:22:20Come on, Lina. You're 27 and you're not taking care of your own needs. And what's going on with Adam?

00:22:26We are so over.

00:22:27We are so over.

00:22:29Well, then it's even more important to go out. I'll be waiting for you at the party, Lina. Don't miss it.

00:22:36Hey, don't hang up on me, Jenny.

00:22:37Oh, my God. Why do you always do this to me?

00:22:45Hey, man. Stop dwelling on all forgotten college memories. No point. Come on. Let me get you a drink.

00:22:53I'm good, my mom.

00:22:54Don't tell me you're still hung up on Lina. You're engaged to Lisa.

00:22:58It's killing me, man. I mean, she had a kid with Mark and she didn't tell me until I found out today when I met the kid myself.

00:23:03That sucks.

00:23:04All right. It's time to chill out. Your fiancée, Lisa, is coming.

00:23:13Hey, Adam.

00:23:14Hey, Lisa.

00:23:15Let's have some fun tonight.

00:23:16Oh, man. Is that Lina?

00:23:20Come on, Jenny. You convinced me to come and then you're a no-show.

00:23:23Oh, great.

00:23:29Hey, nice to meet you.

00:23:32Hi.

00:23:34Hey, check out Lina.

00:23:37She's dancing with a weirdo.

00:23:39A bit embarrassing, huh?

00:23:41Uh-huh.

00:23:42Dude, seriously?

00:23:43It doesn't bother you at all?

00:23:45Why would it?

00:23:46It's got to be the ugliest, funniest dance I've ever seen in my life.

00:23:51Hey, Adam.

00:23:51Forget that goofy dance that we did.

00:23:54Tonight, I'll make it worth your life.

00:23:57Lisa, you are gorgeous, but I'm just not in the mood.

00:24:02Baby, come on.

00:24:04Tonight, I'm yours.

00:24:05And you're mine.

00:24:06Oh, oh.

00:24:19Hey, don't touch her.

00:24:25Oh, you're Adam Taylor.

00:24:29Dude, I'm so sorry.

00:24:30I did not realize she was yours.

00:24:32Try it again and watch what happens.

00:24:34Yeah, I heard.

00:24:35You're loud and clear.

00:24:37I'll just leave.

00:24:40Aren't you going to say something smart about how you're a hero and you saved the day?

00:24:46My lines are way better than that.

00:24:48Besides, no time.

00:24:52A Sterling Mark's son.

00:24:53Does it matter to you?

00:24:58You're marrying Lisa.

00:25:01How did you know?

00:25:02Congratulations.

00:25:08Stay away from my fiance.

00:25:09You'd rather focus on that lowlife than look at me, right?

00:25:18Don't you ever do that to her again.

00:25:29Don't you cry.

00:25:31Nina, don't you dare cry.

00:25:35One second.

00:25:36Nina, are you in here?

00:25:38Nina, are you in here?

00:25:44Yeah.

00:25:48Okay.

00:25:52You all right?

00:25:56Yes, Adam.

00:25:57I'm fine.

00:25:59You want to tell me what's really been going on the past eight years?

00:26:01Why'd you really break up with me?

00:26:05A small-town girl trying to trap Adam with a baby.

00:26:09Well, get rid of it.

00:26:11My son would never marry someone like you.

00:26:15Even though Sterling is Adam's son, I can't tell him because he's engaged to Lisa.

00:26:23Why are you bringing this up?

00:26:24Are you so mad that I dumped you?

00:26:27Somebody's following themselves.

00:26:29You cheated on me with your ex right in front of me.

00:26:32If you can't admit that, then you're weaker than I thought you were.

00:26:35You know, you really don't know me at all.

00:26:37Didn't you move on?

00:26:39Aren't you engaged to Lisa?

00:26:41It's not what you think.

00:26:42It's my mom's idea.

00:26:43I don't love her before you go.

00:26:49What are you doing?

00:26:52Put this on.

00:26:53You'll look silly if you walk out looking like that.

00:26:56Well, turn around while I change.

00:27:02You know, I really appreciate you offering me this job so that I can care for Sterling.

00:27:07But if we're going to be working together, I really think that we should just keep this professional.

00:27:15You know?

00:27:18Is that what you want?

00:27:20Then I'm alright with that.

00:27:28How long has Mark been gone?

00:27:31Is she really raising her son alone?

00:27:37Hey, I need you guys to handle something for me.

00:27:54Lena, you're not going to steal my fiance.

00:27:56He's mine.

00:27:58All mine.

00:28:05Hey, hey, hey!

00:28:07Look at you looking like a little cute puppy dog.

00:28:09That's cool.

00:28:10I like doggy style anyways.

00:28:12You guys need to leave.

00:28:12The court is closed.

00:28:14No problem.

00:28:15Let me get a kiss before I leave.

00:28:17Leave me alone.

00:28:19Hey, let me ask you this first, sweetie.

00:28:21Hey.

00:28:21Do you really work for that famous tennis player guy?

00:28:24Or are you just his little hooker?

00:28:26If you don't get out of here, I'll call the police.

00:28:28Oh, come on, honey.

00:28:29Don't be like that.

00:28:30Hey!

00:28:31What's going on here?

00:28:32Oh, hey.

00:28:33I was just trying to get a tennis ball out of your assistant's fat ass.

00:28:36But it looks like it was stuck.

00:28:38Are you sure about that?

00:28:39Absolutely.

00:28:42Watch your mouth.

00:28:44Calm down, bro.

00:28:45We're just playing.

00:28:46Oh, really?

00:28:51You want to play around, too?

00:28:53Lima's not your plaything.

00:28:54She's my assistant.

00:28:55She'll be treated with respect.

00:28:57Now get out of here!

00:28:58Come on, homie.

00:28:59Let's go.

00:29:04Well, I take back what I said before.

00:29:06What did you say?

00:29:08About you being weak.

00:29:09You just sit up to those punks.

00:29:11That was pretty amazing.

00:29:13Well, Adam, I told you.

00:29:15You really don't know me at all.

00:29:17Well, I do know one thing about you.

00:29:19Oh, yeah?

00:29:20You're stubborn as hell.

00:29:24You haven't changed in eight years.

00:29:27I love that about you.

00:29:30You can let me help you with your hand.

00:29:33You always carry Band-Aids around with you in your pocket?

00:29:36Oh, uh, once you have a kid, you kind of become a walk-in first aid kid.

00:29:42How do you take care of Sterling all by yourself?

00:29:45Is your mom help?

00:29:46She actually passed away before I graduated.

00:29:50Be not.

00:29:51I'm so sorry.

00:29:53It's okay.

00:29:55I have Jannie.

00:29:56I mean, she's been so helpful.

00:29:58She's like a sister to me, you know?

00:30:00And you joined the pro circuit.

00:30:05Got everything you wanted, right?

00:30:07Not everything I wanted.

00:30:10Adam!

00:30:24My dad's looking for you.

00:30:27We gotta go.

00:30:30I gotta go.

00:30:33Mm-hmm.

00:30:35Thanks for the Band-Aid.

00:30:37Yeah, I need anything.

00:30:42Mark!

00:30:43Adam!

00:30:43What's up, man?

00:30:47Well, Adam, I told you.

00:30:49You really don't know me at all.

00:30:51If you won't tell me the whole story, I'll find out myself.

00:30:54I'm glad you made it home in one piece, Lena.

00:31:03I'm your biggest fan, man.

00:31:11Want a drink?

00:31:12No.

00:31:13Good.

00:31:13So, uh, what brings you here today, buddy?

00:31:17I'm here to talk about Lena.

00:31:19What's the little witch up to these days, huh?

00:31:21Oh, and look, don't get mad.

00:31:23Like, I know she dumped you for me, but honestly, you dodged a major bullet.

00:31:27Doesn't sound like things ended well between you two.

00:31:29Ended?

00:31:30You never even started.

00:31:33Five minutes after you left, she dumped me.

00:31:35She's crazy, man.

00:31:36But you know what?

00:31:38Let's forget about that shit.

00:31:41So Sterling isn't yours.

00:31:42Who the hell is Sterling?

00:31:48Sterling?

00:31:49Lena's eight-year-old son?

00:31:52If Sterling isn't Mark's son, then who's his father?

00:31:55Why would I care?

00:31:56The kid's not mine.

00:31:57Lena always hated my guts.

00:31:59And as for the kid, who knows what that bitch hooked up like?

00:32:03What did you just say?

00:32:04Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:32:05Calm down.

00:32:09Don't tell me you're still into her.

00:32:12Man, you know what I really want?

00:32:17I really want to see if Lena's body is still as hot as it was.

00:32:21Maybe I should call her.

00:32:25You and Lena are bored nuts!

00:32:28You are perfect for each other!

00:32:36Hey, gorgeous.

00:32:38Long time no see.

00:32:40What are you guys still doing here?

00:32:42Police!

00:32:44Look!

00:32:44Get her, quick!

00:32:48Sterling isn't Mark's son.

00:32:51Why didn't Lena tell me?

00:32:59Shut up!

00:33:00You ain't going nowhere!

00:33:03You messed up the wrong person.

00:33:04Run!

00:33:14Run!

00:33:21I haven't.

00:33:23You alright?

00:33:25I'm fine.

00:33:28Look, I'm going to figure out who's behind this.

00:33:29But until then, you can't be going out after dark.

00:33:31I'm worried about you.

00:33:33I'm alright.

00:33:35I think Lisa is behind this.

00:33:37I just...

00:33:37I just feel like...

00:33:39Hey, wait, wait, wait.

00:33:42I'm going to take you home.

00:33:45I thought we were going to just keep this professional.

00:33:48Tell I won't tell.

00:33:49You're nice to know.

00:33:50Well, thank you for saving me.

00:34:06Again.

00:34:07Anytime.

00:34:08I can do anything for you.

00:34:12Look, you know that you and Mark never got back together eight years ago.

00:34:15So tell me, is Sterling mine?

00:34:19Mommy!

00:34:21Hey, buddy.

00:34:24Hey, Uncle Adam, why are you here?

00:34:26Well, your mom was having some car problems, so I gave her a ride home.

00:34:29Is it serious?

00:34:31How come the car has issues?

00:34:32Is it a big deal?

00:34:34No, no, no.

00:34:35It's not a big deal.

00:34:36I think.

00:34:37Well, Adam can go home now.

00:34:43But I think Adam can stay for dinner.

00:34:46By the way, I'm Jenny, Lena's best friend.

00:34:49Nice to meet you.

00:34:51You know, I actually heard that Adam is very, very busy tonight, right?

00:34:56So he can't stay for dinner.

00:34:58Actually, not busy at all. Dinner sounds great.

00:35:01You can't escape, Lena.

00:35:03Not until you tell me the truth.

00:35:04Mommy, say yes. You always say you need more friends.

00:35:09Right?

00:35:10Sweetie, why don't you show Adam in?

00:35:13Yay!

00:35:17He looks just like you.

00:35:20He looks just like you, too, Adam.

00:35:29Uncle Adam, what's your favorite color?

00:35:32Black. What's yours?

00:35:33Oh, mine is blue, but black's my second favorite color.

00:35:38Why are you always around?

00:35:40Do you work with my mom?

00:35:41Are you friends?

00:35:42Baby, let's not ask too many questions, okay?

00:35:46It's okay.

00:35:48Your mom and I are old friends.

00:35:49And yeah, she works for me now.

00:35:51When I grow up, I'm going to be a tennis player.

00:35:54Maybe even better than you.

00:35:57I bet you will.

00:35:58I wonder where you get your talent from.

00:36:01It's not your mom.

00:36:03She could never hit a ball.

00:36:05Maybe from my dad.

00:36:07Sorry, I gotta go.

00:36:20My brother keeps texting me.

00:36:22Bye, sweet pie.

00:36:23Good night.

00:36:24Pull yourself together, Lena.

00:36:29Either tell Adam that Sterling is his son now,

00:36:32or kick him out of the house before he realizes he's Sterling's father himself.

00:36:38You okay?

00:36:39You okay?

00:36:39Yes.

00:36:41Yes.

00:36:43It's just that Sterling needs to go to bed.

00:36:47Um, so you should go home.

00:36:52I don't want him to go home.

00:36:53I want him to read me a bedtime story.

00:36:57I'd love to, if it's okay with your mom.

00:37:04I'd love to, if it's okay with your mom.

00:37:06Please, can you make him stay for a bedtime story?

00:37:09Okay.

00:37:11One story.

00:37:17And now you are home, cried his mother happily.

00:37:21And they all agreed there was no place better than home.

00:37:26Thea.

00:37:38I know what you want, and I can't give that to you right now, okay?

00:37:47How would you know what I want?

00:37:50Eight years ago you said I'd forget about you.

00:37:53Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about you, Lena.

00:37:58So?

00:37:59You used to think I was immature and a jerk, and all I cared about was tennis.

00:38:07It was never like that.

00:38:08I care about you, Lena.

00:38:09I care about you, Lena.

00:38:13Why are you telling me this?

00:38:15Aren't you engaged to Lisa?

00:38:17I mean, what do you want from me, Adam?

00:38:19I just want to talk.

00:38:26Do you really think that leaving me was the right choice?

00:38:29If he stays with you, he'll be cut off from this family.

00:38:36He'll have to give up his tennis dreams, and marry you, and raise a kid.

00:38:42Do you really think your love's gonna last?

00:38:45Yes.

00:38:48I think it was the right choice, and it was the very best thing I've ever done.

00:38:53I should probably leave.

00:38:55I'm really tired.

00:38:57Ugh, this woman.

00:38:59Ugh, this man.

00:39:01Okay.

00:39:04I think that's what you really want.

00:39:10I mean, she said it's the best thing that she's ever done.

00:39:13She can't be serious, right?

00:39:15I mean, I'm famous now.

00:39:19She's the one that gave up on us.

00:39:22She won't even give me an explanation.

00:39:25I know you're only here, man.

00:39:26But you still love her.

00:39:32I know you're only here, man.

00:39:34But you still love her.

00:39:35And she still loves you.

00:39:37Wait, did you just say she loves me?

00:39:40How do you know?

00:39:41Because of the way she looks at you.

00:39:43Seems like she still likes you.

00:39:46I've got an idea.

00:39:53You know, I basically kicked him out.

00:39:56I don't know.

00:39:57Jenny, my heart is a mess.

00:39:58I kind of wanted him to stay.

00:40:00Call him back right now and ask him to come back.

00:40:03No, I can't do that.

00:40:12I'll call you back.

00:40:14I had car problems.

00:40:17Car problems?

00:40:18What happened?

00:40:19The, um, the, uh, the carburetor, uh, it wouldn't start.

00:40:24I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm kind of, kind of stuck here.

00:40:27Did you call an Uber?

00:40:28My phone died.

00:40:30Okay, uh, I, I will, I will call you once.

00:40:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:40:34That, that, I couldn't possibly let you pay for me.

00:40:36That, that's ridiculous.

00:40:37Uh, pay me back or give me a raise, I don't know.

00:40:44I can't make that kind of decision right now.

00:40:47It's late and I am exhausted.

00:40:51Uh-huh.

00:40:53Um.

00:40:54Can I stay the night?

00:40:55I just need the couch.

00:40:57Please.

00:40:57Adam.

00:40:58Lisa.

00:41:00Lena, you will be so good to go.

00:41:03Tomorrow I might even wake up early and make a pancake.

00:41:05We're friends.

00:41:09Can't a friend crash for the night?

00:41:11He's back.

00:41:12And I can't push him away this time.

00:41:15Maybe I'll, um, tell him tomorrow morning.

00:41:18You can stay.

00:41:20Don't bring the house down.

00:41:22Shouldn't be too hard.

00:41:25I'm on a night down.

00:41:27Ugh, that smile.

00:41:29Why does it still get to me?

00:41:31Yes, Vegas was the plan.

00:41:36It didn't work out that way.

00:41:37I was actually in, uh, I was in London for Wimbledon.

00:41:41And I was only with my mom.

00:41:43So it was not the best 21st birthday.

00:41:44Stay with me now.

00:41:46Whoa, with your mom.

00:41:47Yeah, not great.

00:41:50Ugh.

00:41:52You know, seeing you with Mark, it broke me.

00:41:55I'm sorry.

00:41:58Um, I thought you'd move on quickly.

00:42:02I don't know.

00:42:03Move on?

00:42:03Yeah.

00:42:04You have no idea how deeply I felt about you.

00:42:10You know, I...

00:42:12I had this elaborate plan to, uh, to make you pay for what you did.

00:42:17And since I saw you, all I can think about is how I want to be close to you.

00:42:29Man, we're drunk.

00:42:33We're colleagues.

00:42:35You're engaged.

00:42:38It's you, man.

00:42:40It's only ever been here.

00:42:41I wish I could be with him.

00:43:00I'm gonna win her back.

00:43:04See?

00:43:05Just like this.

00:43:07Perfect.

00:43:08Awesome!

00:43:08These are gonna look great.

00:43:12We are almost done.

00:43:14Here we go.

00:43:16And the finishing touch.

00:43:19Hey!

00:43:21I can do it, too!

00:43:27Oops.

00:43:27You're a mess.

00:43:28It's okay.

00:43:29I like it.

00:43:33We're colleagues.

00:43:34You're engaged.

00:43:38It's you, Lena.

00:43:40It's only ever been you.

00:43:44Oh!

00:43:45Sterling?

00:43:46What are you guys doing?

00:43:47Making waffles with Uncle Adam.

00:43:54Really?

00:43:56Are they ready?

00:43:57Try one.

00:43:58We put lots of love in it.

00:44:00And your favorite, strawberries.

00:44:01Are they ready?

00:44:07Delicious.

00:44:08Of course they are.

00:44:09It's Sterling Hell.

00:44:11He's a great kid.

00:44:12He'll never find out about him.

00:44:15Okay.

00:44:16Well, I am going to go get changed.

00:44:20And you two clean up, please.

00:44:22We'll eat together.

00:44:23Yeah?

00:44:24Okay.

00:44:31Sterling.

00:44:34You have the same dimple as Uncle Adam.

00:44:38Yeah.

00:44:39I like it.

00:44:40Do you?

00:44:42Yeah.

00:44:48I'm sorry, buddy.

00:44:49I gotta go.

00:44:53I heard the door.

00:44:54Did Adam leave?

00:44:55Yeah, he did.

00:44:57Why?

00:44:58Why?

00:45:01I can't wait any longer.

00:45:02I mean, maybe he needs a moment alone, but I have to tell him the truth.

00:45:14Let me get this straight.

00:45:15You think Sterling's your son?

00:45:17But you didn't say anything to Lena and just left.

00:45:20So you didn't say anything and just let him go?

00:45:24Yeah, there's gotta be some emergency going on.

00:45:28I don't know what to do, man.

00:45:29I mean, Sterling is sitting right there, so I can't confront Lena in front of him.

00:45:34Why wouldn't she just tell me?

00:45:35Why didn't you say anything?

00:45:37You had a chance to tell him the truth.

00:45:41Only Lena can answer that.

00:45:43You gotta sit down and talk to her.

00:45:45Enough, Lena.

00:45:46You have to tell him the truth.

00:45:49I know.

00:45:49I understand that.

00:45:55Adam?

00:45:59Okay.

00:46:01Yeah, I'll meet you there.

00:46:13I have something to tell you.

00:46:17It's time.

00:46:19What do you mean?

00:46:20You don't think I know anything, do you?

00:46:25Tennis isn't the only thing I think about.

00:46:28And I'm not stupid.

00:46:31I get it.

00:46:33Don't you think it's weird that Sterling called me dad when he first met me?

00:46:37That he loves tennis?

00:46:40That he has that dimple on his cheek when he smiled?

00:46:43You know that.

00:46:47Well, you don't know what happened.

00:46:50Lena.

00:46:52Please.

00:46:53Just tell me the truth.

00:46:54That's all I want.

00:47:04Sterling is your son.

00:47:10Sterling is your son.

00:47:11Shut up.

00:47:15How could you, a bitch, possibly give birth to Adam's child?

00:47:19Lisa, what are you doing here?

00:47:20She's a bitch.

00:47:22And that kid couldn't possibly be yours.

00:47:24It's got to be from some other man.

00:47:26Bitch, how dare you steal my fiance?

00:47:28Lisa, I was with Adam before he even knew you.

00:47:32He's the father of my son.

00:47:35Aren't you just his fiance for the fame and the money?

00:47:37No, Adam, don't listen to her.

00:47:40I love you.

00:47:41Don't you like me too?

00:47:44I told you, it's just a casual thing for me.

00:47:46We wouldn't have even been engaged if it weren't for my mother.

00:47:48We could have been friends.

00:47:49No, Adam, we're in love.

00:47:51It's because of her that you don't love me anymore, right?

00:47:54How naive.

00:47:54Lisa, Adam never loved you.

00:47:57I, the only reason I left him was for his career.

00:48:02What?

00:48:04You left me for my career?

00:48:08I'm sorry, Adam.

00:48:10I just wanted you to succeed so badly, and we were too different at that time.

00:48:14I was pregnant.

00:48:16I didn't want to hold you back.

00:48:17I had to lie to you.

00:48:19So you never loved Mark, never?

00:48:21Of course not.

00:48:22I love you, Adam.

00:48:25Bitch, get away from my fiancée.

00:48:31Stop it, Lisa.

00:48:38Stop it, Lisa.

00:48:39I'm your fiancée, and she's trying to ruin us.

00:48:43I love Lena.

00:48:44I've always loved Lena.

00:48:48Lisa, I've had enough of you.

00:48:51Bitch!

00:48:52Stay away from my fiancée!

00:48:55I hate you!

00:48:56I hate you!

00:48:58Stop, Lisa.

00:48:59I'm not going to let you hurt Lena.

00:49:01Why do you always offend Lena?

00:49:04Lisa, we're done.

00:49:06And I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to see you hurt Lena anymore because I love her.

00:49:10You understand me?

00:49:11No, I don't want to cancel the engagement.

00:49:15Please!

00:49:16Please!

00:49:16Lisa, we're done.

00:49:17You hurt my words.

00:49:19No.

00:49:20No, I love you!

00:49:22Don't you dare hurt Lena or Sterling, and I'll make sure you regret it.

00:49:27I'm so sorry that I let her hurt you, then.

00:49:53It's okay.

00:49:57She always hated me, and I knew once she found out I was her fiancée's ex, she'd never let it go.

00:50:03It's my fault.

00:50:11I think we should give each other another chance.

00:50:14Chance for what?

00:50:16To fall in love again.

00:50:18Really?

00:50:21You mean that?

00:50:22I love you, Lena.

00:50:27I love you.

00:50:29I love you.

00:50:31I love you.

00:50:41I love you.

00:50:50I love you too, let me have you again

00:51:20Mommy!

00:51:31Oh, my baby boy, look, Uncle Adam came to see you

00:51:35Yes, Sterling, I got you a gift, I hope you like it

00:51:38Oh, this is my favorite, thank you so much, Uncle Adam

00:51:44You're welcome, buddy

00:51:50Mommy, Uncle Adam says he wants to invite us to participate together in a competition

00:52:01That's wonderful

00:52:02This weekend, I think you've all should come

00:52:07Sterling, we get to meet everybody, I think you'd enjoy it

00:52:10I'd love that, Mommy, can we go?

00:52:12Of course, sweetie

00:52:13Jenny, you were invited too

00:52:16Oh, me too?

00:52:18Of course, thank you so much for helping Lena with Sterling

00:52:21And my buddy Alan is looking forward to seeing you very much

00:52:25Jackie, could it be that Alan likes you?

00:52:29Stop kidding, we're just friends

00:52:31Yes, friends

00:52:34Lena, I will never allow you to steal my pranks

00:52:42I'm the million dollar celebrity wife

00:52:44Oh, this is amazing

00:52:58I can't wait to watch the match

00:52:59Me too

00:53:01Gosh, oh my God, it's so funny

00:53:05This is awesome

00:53:13Jenny, look at the tree

00:53:17It's so funny

00:53:19Jane and Tex, they're almost here

00:53:34Well, you two are getting pretty close, huh?

00:53:38Absolutely, man

00:53:39Here they are, come on

00:53:43I'm so glad you came here

00:53:47It's our pleasure

00:53:48Come on in, have a seat and relax

00:53:50How dare you show up to my fiancée's match

00:53:59I won't let this slide

00:54:00What do you want, Lisa?

00:54:02What do you want, Lisa?

00:54:08Get out of here, you little whore

00:54:10I won't let you seduce my fiancée

00:54:12Adam invited us, and he doesn't want you to be his fiancée anymore

00:54:17You

00:54:21Adam

00:54:22Good luck

00:54:25Today we'll be cheering you on

00:54:26If anybody gives you or Sterling any trouble, you let me know, I'll handle it

00:54:30I'm sure we'll be just fine

00:54:33You just focus on your match

00:54:36Hey, Adam

00:54:39Good luck with your match

00:54:41Thanks

00:54:41Hey, what if I join you at the interview after the match?

00:54:45Why would you do that?

00:54:48Because we're engaged, and we're gonna get married, and we should go public

00:54:52We're not getting married, and no, we're not engaged anymore, Lisa

00:54:56Adam, I love you

00:54:58No

00:54:59Lisa, you don't love me

00:55:01You love my money, and my status

00:55:04So stop deluding yourself, please

00:55:06No

00:55:08Oh

00:55:10We are live here today at the championship match

00:55:25All eyes are on Adam, star player of the day

00:55:28Absolutely

00:55:29He's been in incredible form today, controlling the match from the start

00:55:33Adam

00:55:35Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam

00:55:40Woo! Adam, we're so proud of you!

00:55:43Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam

00:55:484-0

00:55:49Nick's got nothing on our superstar Adam

00:55:51Incredible, just incredible

00:55:54Ryan, man

00:55:55Everyone System

00:55:57Wish it to be a big deal

00:55:59No

00:56:00Look at all

00:56:01Hilfman, baby

00:56:02None

00:56:0312-0

00:56:04No

00:56:05Look at it

00:56:06No

00:56:07Because it's not good

00:56:08No

00:56:10No

00:56:11It's not good

00:56:12No

00:56:13No

00:56:14No

00:56:15No

00:56:16No

00:56:17No

00:56:18No

00:56:19No

00:56:20No

00:56:21No

00:56:22No

00:56:23Rumor has it, Adam may be more than just a star player today.

00:56:27There's speculation involving a mystery son in the audience.

00:56:33Mommy?

00:56:34Hello?

00:56:35Is Uncle Adam my dad?

00:56:37But you told me my dad was gone.

00:56:41Sweetie, I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth.

00:56:44Adam is your dad.

00:56:46I finally have a dad!

00:56:49Go, Daddy!

00:56:51Adam, fight!

00:56:53Adam!

00:57:02Adam!

00:57:03Adam's injury is your fault.

00:57:05Get out with your illegitimate son.

00:57:07Sterling, cover your ears and close your eyes super tight, okay?

00:57:13You did this, didn't you?

00:57:15So what if I did?

00:57:16How dare you bring Sterling into this?

00:57:18This is my life, my personal business.

00:57:20No, Adam belongs with me, not some broke-ass nobody like you.

00:57:24You stole my chance to tell Sterling about his dad.

00:57:27Aw, tough luck, bitch.

00:57:30Security!

00:57:31Get them out, please.

00:57:33Bye, and don't ever come back here again.

00:57:35I'm sorry, sweetie, I'm so sorry.

00:57:41This isn't on you, Lena.

00:57:43Lisa's just awful.

00:57:45She's pure evil.

00:57:46She exposed Sterling's identity to the public, and then she blocked me from seeing Adam.

00:57:52I'm so worried about his injury.

00:57:53Lena, Adam's injury might be serious.

00:57:57You need to see him right now.

00:57:58What?

00:58:06Lena, are you all right?

00:58:09Where's Sterling?

00:58:10Adam, it's me.

00:58:12Don't worry.

00:58:13I'm here for you.

00:58:15What are you doing here?

00:58:16Where's Lena?

00:58:17Forget about her.

00:58:19She caused your injury and caused you the championship.

00:58:22I sent her home.

00:58:24Who gave you the right to do that?

00:58:25My knee.

00:58:29Adam, you should rest.

00:58:31Stop thinking about that woman.

00:58:33Adam, Adam, I'm so sorry.

00:58:36I should have been here so long ago.

00:58:37It's okay.

00:58:38I'm glad to see you.

00:58:40You are the reason that Adam is injured.

00:58:42If you hadn't exposed Sterling's secret.

00:58:44You did that, Lisa?

00:58:46Adam, please.

00:58:46I can explain.

00:58:48Get out.

00:58:48I never want to see you again.

00:58:51Stop being such nonsense.

00:58:52No, no, no, Adam, please.

00:58:55Knee, no, no.

00:58:57Excuse me, ladies.

00:58:59The patient needs some rest.

00:59:02Please, no more commotion.

00:59:05I'm sorry, Mr. Taylor, but based on our diagnosis, your knee.

00:59:10What about my knee?

00:59:12Please brace yourself.

00:59:14As a renowned tennis player, I can only imagine that this must be very difficult,

00:59:18but it appears that your knee will never really fully recover.

00:59:22No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:59:31This isn't happening.

00:59:34Sorry, sir.

00:59:35It's true.

00:59:37Can he still play tennis?

00:59:38Can he still be a tennis star?

00:59:40Tell me.

00:59:41I'm very sorry to tell you, but you will never play tennis again.

00:59:46But if we undergo aggressive rehabilitation, is there hope?

00:59:49I'm a certified sports rehabilitation specialist.

00:59:52I can help.

00:59:53We can hold that.

00:59:55It's highly unlikely, but perhaps.

01:00:00It's all.

01:00:03No, Adam can't stop being a tennis champion.

01:00:06What about our engagement?

01:00:08I'm supposed to be a tennis star's wife.

01:00:11This can't be happening.

01:00:13Will you stop?

01:00:14You are only thinking about yourself.

01:00:16You don't even love Adam.

01:00:17Yeah, both of you.

01:00:21No, I'm not marrying a disabled man.

01:00:24The engagement's off.

01:00:27Shut up and get out.

01:00:30I'm sorry.

01:00:32You'll be okay.

01:00:33I promise.

01:00:34I am going to help you through your rehab.

01:00:38You should leave, too.

01:00:41I'm just a cripple now.

01:00:43Not a tennis player.

01:00:45And I never will be again.

01:00:47No.

01:00:48No, Adam.

01:00:49We're going to get better.

01:00:51And I'm going to be there with you every step of the way.

01:00:54And then I'm going to marry you.

01:01:00Really?

01:01:04Of course.

01:01:07I love you.

01:01:09I love you so much.

01:01:10And we're going to get through this together.

01:01:14Okay?

01:01:15The doctor said there's no hope for a full recovery.

01:01:18Well, then it'll take a miracle.

01:01:24Okay.

01:01:24Let's get you used to this.

01:01:30Lena!

01:01:31I already warned you to stay away from my son.

01:01:35You're really nothing but bad luck.

01:01:37What are you talking about, Mom?

01:01:39And tell me now, did you have something to do with her breaking up with me eight years ago?

01:01:43Adam, I made a difficult decision.

01:01:45I asked Lena to leave and asked her to consider giving up the pregnancy because I believed it was what was best for you.

01:01:52You are destroying me!

01:01:53You took away the love of my life and almost cost me my son!

01:01:56Adam, calm down.

01:01:58Your mom just came to see you.

01:01:59I'll go.

01:02:00No.

01:02:01You're not going anywhere.

01:02:04You're not hiding from my mother anymore.

01:02:06I'm marrying Lena.

01:02:09And I'm keeping my promise.

01:02:11I won't allow it.

01:02:12You're married to Lisa.

01:02:14And how is it that you're just coming up with this now?

01:02:16Is she pressuring you?

01:02:18I'm not engaged to Lisa anymore.

01:02:19She just called it off.

01:02:21Turns out she didn't want to be married to a cripple.

01:02:23What?

01:02:25But Lena, on the other hand, is willing to stick by me through it all.

01:02:31I can help him with his rehabilitation.

01:02:34You just have to trust me, please.

01:02:38If you truly think you can help Adam recover, then I won't interfere.

01:03:00This place is amazing.

01:03:02It's like a palace.

01:03:04I love it.

01:03:05I'm glad you do.

01:03:07Lena, I trust you with Adam's care.

01:03:10And I'm sorry for everything that happened before.

01:03:14It's all in the past now.

01:03:16Let's just focus on Adam's recovery.

01:03:19I've arranged for you a room on the first floor with a maid and a house doctor, so you can call them for anything.

01:03:31Adam's recovery is in your hands now.

01:03:34It's good to see you two getting along.

01:03:44I saw you kept our photos.

01:03:48Such great memories.

01:03:50Yeah.

01:03:51I just couldn't let them go.

01:03:53I threw them all in the trash, but I regretted it immediately.

01:03:58I didn't want to lose them like I lost you.

01:04:01I'm so sorry, Adam.

01:04:03Um, I'll go get you some ice for your knee, okay?

01:04:11It's right back.

01:04:20Dammit!

01:04:20Oh, um, here, let me manage this.

01:04:29It's fine, it's just a scratch.

01:04:31Please, don't make a fuss.

01:04:33What am I?

01:04:34Am I not doing enough?

01:04:36No, Lena, you're amazing.

01:04:38I, look at me.

01:04:41I've gone from tennis superstar to stuck in this wheelchair.

01:04:45It is just temporary.

01:04:46And you are going to be back on that court, I promise you.

01:04:49I can't do the simplest things.

01:04:50I have no self-confidence.

01:04:52Well, we're going to work together to build it up.

01:04:54I'm a professional sports therapist now, okay?

01:04:58Just trust me.

01:05:01Former tennis superstar Adam,

01:05:03sidelined by a race mishap,

01:05:04may never return to the courts.

01:05:08Don't listen to that.

01:05:09No.

01:05:10Okay, you can do this.

01:05:11Just get out.

01:05:11Leave me alone.

01:05:12I can do this by myself.

01:05:14Adam, please.

01:05:15It will only hurt more if you push us away.

01:05:17I'm already hurting, Lena.

01:05:19So stop pitying me and just get out.

01:05:27You're only marrying me out of pity, right?

01:05:30No, Adam.

01:05:31I love you no matter what.

01:05:33You love me.

01:05:35Look at me.

01:05:37I'm disabled.

01:05:38I'm stuck in this wheelchair for the rest of my life.

01:05:40I'm never going to play tennis again.

01:05:42I'm, I'm gone.

01:05:43How could you possibly love me?

01:05:45I don't know.

01:05:47Maybe there's someone else who could help Adam.

01:05:57I'm back.

01:05:58Mommy!

01:06:01Is Daddy okay?

01:06:03I miss him.

01:06:04Baby, if Daddy needs you, will you help him?

01:06:09Of course.

01:06:10I'll help Daddy.

01:06:12Good boy.

01:06:13I just know you will be Dad's little angel, and once he sees you, he will be so inspired

01:06:18to get better.

01:06:19It's so good to see my Sterling.

01:06:33Daddy, I miss you.

01:06:35It's so good to hear you call me that, but I'm sorry that you got to see me like this,

01:06:39buddy.

01:06:39No.

01:06:40Daddy, you're my hero.

01:06:42I'm proud of you.

01:06:43You encouraged me to be a tennis player, so I practice every day.

01:06:47Good boy.

01:06:48But I want Daddy's support.

01:06:50I want to be like Daddy, so Daddy, let's get healthy together.

01:06:54Do they think I'm a hero, Sterling?

01:06:56Of course.

01:06:57You're always a hero.

01:06:59A big hero.

01:07:00Mom, I keep on trying to be your hero.

01:07:02I won't let you down.

01:07:03I believe in you, Daddy.

01:07:07You know, I'm so sorry for the way I treated you.

01:07:11There's no excuse.

01:07:13You and my mom have been so helpful to me.

01:07:14I'm sorry that I never should have given up.

01:07:18It's okay.

01:07:20I'm just happy to see you back on the right track.

01:07:23Oh.

01:07:25I think your mom wants to say hi.

01:07:28Hey, son.

01:07:30I'm so thrilled to hear this.

01:07:32I'm just so proud of you, Adam.

01:07:34And as long as you face it,

01:07:36Lena, Sterling, and I will be here for you.

01:07:39I love you, son.

01:07:44I love you, son.

01:08:02I love you.

01:08:04Three.

01:08:07Come on, Daddy, you can do it.

01:08:09You're doing great. You're almost there.

01:08:12Awesome, Daddy. One more step.

01:08:14You're amazing.

01:08:16Here.

01:08:17I want to try the last step by myself.

01:08:20Okay.

01:08:21I'll be right here.

01:08:30Time.

01:08:34I did it.

01:08:38I'm up.

01:08:39Maybe I did it. I can walk by myself.

01:08:41It's a miracle.

01:08:43Daddy can walk.

01:08:44Yes, buddy. I can walk.

01:08:47I love you both so much.

01:08:49I love you.

01:09:01Can I tennis star Adam really walk again?

01:09:03We're about to find out.

01:09:05After his detrimental injury, if he can walk again, it'll be the comeback of all comebacks in tennis history.

01:09:12That's right. Everyone's waiting on Adam Taylor.

01:09:16I guess sports stars have their own timing.

01:09:18Let's hang tight and see.

01:09:19If Adam recovers, I'll marry him.

01:09:22The tennis superstar's wife must be me.

01:09:25Adam, over here.

01:09:26Look over here. Adam. Adam.

01:09:28It is great to see you all again.

01:09:31I'm happy to inform you that your favorite tennis player is officially back.

01:09:37Mr. Taylor, can you share your recovery experience?

01:09:43It'll inspire many young tennis players.

01:09:45Sure.

01:09:49When I first had my injury, I went through a long period of self-doubt, depression, and struggle.

01:09:56With that diagnosis, I really wasn't sure that I was ever going to walk, let alone play tennis again.

01:10:04But my family, they helped me through it.

01:10:08With their support, their encouragement, their love, I finally stood up again.

01:10:14That's a heartwarming and inspiring story.

01:10:16Is your family here today?

01:10:18Yes.

01:10:19She's right here.

01:10:20Yes.

01:10:26I am Adam's fiance.

01:10:27We're getting married next month.

01:10:29It's an honor.

01:10:32What the hell?

01:10:33This is Lena Cameron.

01:10:35The love of my life.

01:10:37And the mother of my son.

01:10:39She's been my rock through all this.

01:10:41And I love her very much.

01:10:44I love you too.

01:10:47I'm Adam's fiance.

01:10:49This bitch is trying to steal my spot as the superstar's wife.

01:10:53No, we're not engaged anymore.

01:10:55Lisa, we never should have been in the first place.

01:10:56You remember when I got hurt and couldn't provide the fame and security that you wanted?

01:11:00You up and walked away?

01:11:02No.

01:11:03No, it's just been a misunderstanding.

01:11:05Stop trying to explain, Lisa.

01:11:07You hurt my son.

01:11:08You hurt Adam.

01:11:09All you care about is fame and money.

01:11:12Shut up.

01:11:12You're so jealous of me that you had to go and seduce my fiance.

01:11:16Please believe me.

01:11:17I love you.

01:11:19There's been a misunderstanding.

01:11:21There's only one woman for me.

01:11:23And it's Lena, not you.

01:11:24Your family will never approve of you two.

01:11:32Stop!

01:11:32Silly girl.

01:11:39Trying to drive Lena away to try to get back with Adam.

01:11:43No, it's not like that, Mrs. Taylor.

01:11:45I was just trying to discipline this awful woman.

01:11:48You're not taking her side, are you?

01:11:50Let's set something straight, Lisa.

01:11:52You agreed to call off the engagement.

01:11:55Tending the engagement was the right thing for both of us.

01:11:58No, I was just angry.

01:11:59I didn't mean it.

01:12:00I would never accept a daughter-in-law that abandoned my son in his time of need.

01:12:06Let's just keep it civil, give a little respect, and stop making a scene.

01:12:11What?

01:12:14Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present Lena as my son Adam's wife.

01:12:22Her kindness and loyalty has truly moved me, especially since she raised my grandson,

01:12:31Darling, alone.

01:12:33She deserves this commitment.

01:12:38And I'd like to address one more thing.

01:12:40Lisa?

01:12:41You tried to kidnap Lena, and you deliberately revealed Sterling's identity to the world.

01:12:47And for that, you'll pay for the consequences.

01:12:51What?

01:12:53You were as random as I was dating.

01:12:54I can explain.

01:12:55It was a good thing.

01:12:58Just to make it official.

01:13:04Lena, my love, will you marry me?

01:13:09Yes.

01:13:10How long have you been carrying this around?

01:13:18Well, I don't know.

01:13:19Maybe eight years.

01:13:21I knew in college.

01:13:22I wanted to be with you.

01:13:24It was a bit small, but I didn't mean my millions yet.

01:13:29You can upgrade to one's partner.

01:13:30You were perfect, Adam Taylor.

01:13:32You were perfect, Adam Taylor.

01:13:33You were perfect, Adam Taylor.

01:13:55Mommy, you're the prettiest bad bride in the world.

01:13:59Thank you, Friar.

01:14:01Thank you, Janie.

01:14:03You and Adam are finally getting married.

01:14:07I'm sure he's been waiting for this day, too.

01:14:09You're going to be happy forever, Lena.

01:14:12Janie, you're like family to me.

01:14:14Always taking care of Sterling and I.

01:14:16I'm so happy you're here.

01:14:18I can't wait to see Adam's face when he sees you.

01:14:21Let's go.

01:14:22We can't keep your prince tennis waiting.

01:14:25Mommy, let's go.

01:14:28Let's go.

01:14:30Let's go.

01:14:45Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.

01:14:49It is! It is! It is!

01:14:57Lena, I'm so proud to be your husband.

01:15:01And I welcome you into my life, making this one.

01:15:05And I promise to treat you as my equal partner for the rest of my life.

01:15:13I love you.

01:15:19I love you too, Adam.

01:15:25And thank you so much for bringing Sterling into my life.

01:15:30He's such a gift. And I'll cherish you both.

01:15:34I know that you will make a great husband and a wonderful father.

01:15:39I'm so grateful that you're back in my life.

01:15:42I can't live without you, my Dennis Prince.

01:15:49Holly, Daddy, I love you.

01:15:53We love you too, buddy.

01:16:05Congratulations, Danny.

01:16:07Congratulations, Alan.

01:16:09Let's take a group photo.

01:16:11Looks perfect.
