00:00I don't want to be here. I want to be with my dad. Why can't I see him?
00:13Jesse, can you please help me with him?
00:14Sorry, it's not like he's going to listen to me.
00:17Ma'am, you need to leave. We just got the plums in and I won't see them bruised.
00:22I'm so sorry. I can calm him down.
00:25Hey, little guy. Want to see something cool?
00:30Whoa, show me how you did that.
00:36I can show you something even cooler.
00:43Wow, you are so good with kids.
00:46Thanks. I'm a nanny, so it's kind of my job.
00:51Do I know you from somewhere?
00:54I don't think so. Maybe you've seen one of my nannying ads. Speaking of which...
00:59I'm currently looking for new clients. So, if you need a little extra help, just give me a call.
01:08Actually, can I talk to you about that now?
01:12Too easy.
01:13I told their running back he couldn't shake me. Like taking flags from a baby.
01:21Yeah, heck of a play. Way to get our offense back out there.
01:25Guys, let's go.
01:29You should play offense, too. Because it's offensive how much of a tomboy you are.
01:33What? Am I lying?
01:35You're the only girl on the field.
01:37Well, Carter seems to be a fan.
01:39That's because he thinks you're a guy.
01:41Besides, Carter's mine.
01:42When I'm on his arm at homecoming dance, we'll be a total power couple.
01:46Like Taylor and Travis.
01:47Only harder.
01:54Heads up.
01:58Nice catch, dork.
02:00Didn't your daddy ever teach you to do anything except look stupid?
02:03I got it. I got it.
02:05Derp.
02:05Derp.
02:05Derp.
02:06Derp.
02:06Derp.
02:07Derp.
02:07Derp.
02:07Derp.
02:08Derp.
02:09Derp.
02:09Derp.
02:09Derp.
02:10Derp.
02:10Thanks again.
02:17Given your stellar reviews, I'm amazed that you were in between clients and actually had
02:22time to be our living nanny.
02:23Must have been fate, I guess.
02:26So, after you get settled in, can you pick up the kids after school?
02:30I've already told them you're starting today.
02:32Jesse's okay with it.
02:36Lenny...
02:36He's not really okay with much of anything these days.
02:40Especially, after his father.
02:47What happened?
02:50Ah, okay, um...
02:52I gotta get this.
02:53You see, this is why I need you so much.
02:54Work is so demanding.
02:56The perfect little house.
03:00The perfect little house.
03:02And the perfect little family.
03:06You don't deserve this.
03:10I'm not trying to pry into your personal life, but whatever is going on is clearly distracting
03:16you.
03:17We need you at 100% for the pediatric hospital fundraiser.
03:21Those kids are dependent on you.
03:23I completely understand.
03:25And now that my kids are being looked after by a new nanny, I'm gonna be laser focused on
03:30my job.
03:31That's what I like to hear.
03:34That's what I like to hear.
03:45Lenny's teacher said this is his second fight this week.
03:48Tell his mother it's an urgent matter and to please have a talk with him.
03:54Don't worry.
03:55I will give her the message.
03:56And I apologize on the family's behalf.
04:01Come on, kids.
04:04Let's go.
04:05God, I hate math homework.
04:09Can we take a break?
04:11You just took a break.
04:13Does your mom let you goof off when you're supposed to be working?
04:16She's never here when we're doing homework.
04:18Of course she isn't.
04:19Yeah, but that's because she works so hard.
04:22She has a really important job with the hospital.
04:24I'm sure.
04:25And that's why I'm here now.
04:32Mom!
04:36Hi.
04:37Oh, I missed you.
04:41I can't take this anymore.
04:42Come on, let's go.
04:43Please!
04:44Nope, now.
04:45Come on.
04:46No!
04:47Have you heard from Dad?
04:49When's he coming back?
04:50Honey, it's not that simple.
04:54Your father's on an extended trip.
04:58Yeah, it must be really important.
05:00But you've got Mom here, and now Brittany, too.
05:04Dad never told me about a trip.
05:07Where is he?
05:08Why are you keeping him from us?
05:10Come on, Lonnie.
05:11Don't be like that.
05:13Let me guess.
05:16The bandage on his arm is from, uh...
05:18A fight at school.
05:20How did I know?
05:22Maybe you can do one of your magic tricks and make their father reappear.
05:31Good night, Lonnie!
05:32You're his father.
05:34Why don't you act like it?
05:38This isn't about me!
05:41It's about our kids!
05:44Please!
05:45Chad!
05:46Please just...
05:48Hello?
05:51Hello?
05:52I'm so sorry!
05:53Penny!
05:54Please, keep going!
05:55I'm so sorry.
05:57Penny!
05:58Please, keep going on.
05:59I'm so sorry!
06:00I'm so sorry!
06:01Penny!
06:02I'm so sorry!
06:03Penny!
06:04I am so sorry.
06:19Penny, please keep your legs still.
06:34Brittany, you are a lifesaver. How is it that you're so good with kids?
06:43So the king said.
06:48Would you get them to shut up?
06:53I had lots of siblings.
06:59Another great sermon.
07:01Thank you. My boss accepts nothing less.
07:05Can I trouble you for a few minutes to go over some monotonous paperwork in the office?
07:10Monotonous paperwork is my specialty.
07:12And you are excellent at it.
07:22Hey, Lenny, are you going to follow us on the weekend?
07:24I heard they're doing archery with, like, real arrows.
07:27Oh, man. I can't.
07:30That is.
07:32On a trip.
07:33I'll be back for a while.
07:35Pretty sure you can go with your mom.
07:37My mom?
07:38But it's called Father and Son Weekend.
07:41Okay, okay. Just trying to help.
07:43Where do you think you're going?
07:53Actually, better question.
07:55Why would he go anywhere looking like that?
07:57Say the dress is for the girls who look good in them.
08:00Have you ever heard of makeup?
08:02I heard what that girl said.
08:07I think she's got some new sins to atone for.
08:12She's lucky she didn't get struck by lightning.
08:17She's not wrong.
08:32I just feel like I don't fit in anywhere.
08:34With anyone.
08:35Hey, I know what you're going through.
08:39Believe it or not, I used to be a grade A outcast.
08:43Sometimes it takes everything in us to just get through the day.
08:49I just want to get home.
09:02Sorry to bother you, but Jessie really wants to go home.
09:06Oh.
09:07Yeah, Lenny probably does too.
09:08It's way past lunch and it's-
09:10Mac and cheese sundae.
09:11Yeah.
09:12He told me.
09:13Twice.
09:14I'm almost done.
09:17Okay, let's get going.
09:36I'll meet you outside.
09:39You wrapped up so fast I didn't have a chance to use the bathroom.
09:42Okay.
10:13Thanks.
10:14Lay him down to the wire on this presentation.
10:15Hey.
10:16Um.
10:17Mom.
10:18Would you be able to help me put on some makeup?
10:20Jess, no.
10:21I've got to get this presentation done ASAP.
10:25You can take whatever you need from my bathroom.
10:26Okay.
10:27Thanks.
10:28Thanks.
10:29I am down to the wire on this presentation.
10:32Hey.
10:33Um.
10:34Mom.
10:35Would you be able to help me put on some makeup?
10:38Jess, no.
10:39I've got to get this presentation done ASAP.
10:40You can take whatever you need from my bathroom.
10:41Okay.
10:42Thanks.
10:43Thanks.
10:44I think I'm gonna take the kids to school in a few minutes.
10:46Great.
10:47You do that.
10:48I have got to get this in the bedroom.
10:53Tell the kids I said bye.
10:54Bye.
10:55For my next trick, I'll make this presentation disappear.
11:22We're halfway there, guys.
11:23Step 8 of my 10-minute miracle makeup machine.
11:24No, no, no.
11:25Now, let's go on to the bronzer.
11:26Okay.
11:27This is where your conjuring comes into play.
11:28Got to go for that sun-kissed glow.
11:29Hey, dork.
11:30You know what you and the pot pie have in common?
11:31You're both chicken.
11:32You're both chicken.
11:33Oh, my God.
11:34Oh, my God.
11:35Oh, my God.
11:36Oh, my God.
11:37Oh, my God.
11:38Oh, my God.
11:39Oh, my God.
11:40Oh, my God.
11:41Oh, my God.
11:42Oh, my God.
11:43Oh, my God.
11:44Oh, my God.
11:45Oh, my God.
11:46Oh, my God.
11:47Oh, my God.
11:48Oh, my God.
11:49Chicken.
11:58Lenny, what were you thinking?
12:00I thought he was hungry.
12:07OMG.
12:08What happened to your face?
12:10Those cheeks.
12:12Those lips.
12:13Those eyes.
12:15Maybe she's more like this.
12:18more like this. Or maybe she's just a freak.
12:29Stupid. Stupid.
12:36Then at this point, I will transition to the presentation for our new pediatric unit.
12:48Sorry, technical difficulties. Let's see here.
12:57Where's the presentation? I don't know what happened.
13:02I do. You're still not focused on your job.
13:05And we can't have this happening during such a crucial time for the hospital.
13:12One more mistake and the board will have no choice but to replace you.
13:18What are you hiding in here?
13:22Maybe I couldn't have been a baseball player.
13:24Christmas presents would have been nice.
13:27Family. What I always wanted but could never have.
13:31Because of you.
13:32Hello?
13:33I have an obligation to ensure the safety of all the students in this school.
13:37If Lenny has one more physical confrontation, I have no choice but to expel him.
13:38Make sure his mother is aware.
13:39I have an obligation to ensure the safety of all the students in this school.
13:43If Lenny has one more physical confrontation, I have no choice but to expel him.
13:44Make sure his mother is aware.
13:45I have an obligation to ensure the safety of all the students in this school.
13:58If Lenny has one more physical confrontation, I have no choice but to expel him.
14:02Make sure his mother is aware.
14:04Lenny, I think you can guess what she said in there.
14:15Okay.
14:16You've both clearly had a rough day, so why don't we go out and get ice cream?
14:21So, what's the plan for the homecoming dance?
14:28The plan is I just don't go.
14:30I'll just look like a freak and get laughed at.
14:32Don't talk like that.
14:34Maybe I could persuade your mom to let me give you a wardrobe refresh.
14:39Really?
14:40And you'll teach me how to do my makeup?
14:42Yep.
14:43You'll be the hit of the...
14:45Homecoming dance.
14:46It's coming up this weekend.
14:48Unfortunately, our volunteer who was handling refreshments had to pull out.
14:52So, can anyone here take their place?
15:04Sure.
15:05I can handle the refreshments.
15:07I got nothing but time.
15:10Okay.
15:11See?
15:12It's all about the contours.
15:13Now I get it.
15:15I think you're missing your calling doing YouTube tutorials.
15:17Thank you for showing me all this stuff.
15:21I've always wanted a sister.
15:23Yeah, me too.
15:24Or at least one who acted like one.
15:26I'd love to spend time with mom, but she's always so busy.
15:30Especially since she kicked dad out.
15:32At least, I think that's what happened.
15:34She won't tell me the full story.
15:36Interesting.
15:38Well, anyway, let's go get you some new threads.
15:41Okay.
15:42Oh, Jessie.
15:43You look amazing.
15:44Sorry.
15:45You'd better go wash it off before it ruins your bargain bin clothes.
15:48Carter, before I was interrupted, I was coming to ask you to the homecoming dance.
15:54Yeah, absolutely.
15:55I'll go with you.
15:56I just dropped Lenny off at the church event.
15:57Um...
15:58You know, maybe, since it's a parent-child thing, you should make an agreement.
15:59I'm sorry.
16:00You'd better go wash it off before it ruins your bargain bin clothes.
16:03Um...
16:04Carter, before I was interrupted, I was coming to ask you to the homecoming dance.
16:09Yeah.
16:10Absolutely.
16:11I'll go with you.
16:20I just dropped Lenny off at the church event.
16:23Um...
16:24You know, maybe, since it's a parent-child thing, you should make an appearance.
16:29It'd be a nice surprise.
16:31You could really use one.
16:33Yeah, you're right.
16:35I just finished redoing my presentation, so...
16:40I'll see you soon.
16:54I'd like to tell you the story of a woman named Andrea, the respected CEO of a pediatric hospital,
17:00who abandoned her own daughter.
17:02Now that's the presentation.
17:12Surprise!
17:13Ma?
17:15Why are you here?
17:16Andrea, I need to have a word with you immediately.
17:19Three thousand dollars is missing from the safe, the one that you were accounting for.
17:23Why even dad here?
17:24He could fix everything.
17:25Andrea.
17:26Why won't you tell me where dad is?
17:27I just wanna know what's going on.
17:28I miss him so much.
17:30I know.
17:31She's not doing right by you at all.
17:33But look, I know what you're going through.
17:35There's things that I want answers about too.
17:36And I have waited all my life.
17:38And I have waited all my life.
17:39tell me what dad is.
17:41I just want to know what's going on.
17:44I miss him
17:45so much. I know.
17:48She's not doing
17:49right by you at all.
17:51But look, I know what you're going through.
17:55There's things
17:55that I want answers about
17:57too. And I have waited
17:59all my life.
18:09May you go, sweetie?
18:35Hey, anyone tell you
18:39how cute you look in our disco ball lights?
18:42Really?
18:43Whoa. Yo, what's
18:45up with your teeth? Huh?
18:51Yikes. Looks like you learned how to put a dress
18:53on, just not how to brush your teeth.
19:05I just wanted
19:15one moment where everything would be okay.
19:18But my mom ruins everything.
19:20How could she mess something up
19:21as easy as juice?
19:31Honey!
19:32Are you okay?
19:33Honey? No, I'm really not
19:35thanks to you.
19:40I don't know
19:41what to do.
19:44Both my kids hate me.
19:46They seem to be upset
19:47because of their dad.
19:49Why not let them see him?
19:53Brittany,
19:54you've been such a blessing to me.
19:57I should tell you
19:58the truth.
20:00I'm not keeping him
20:02from them.
20:05He abandoned us.
20:08He never wanted to be a father.
20:10Not now.
20:11Not then.
20:14What do you mean?
20:19You see,
20:20not long after my husband and I
20:23started dating,
20:24I got pregnant.
20:25I got pregnant.
20:26I was scared.
20:28Of course.
20:29I mean,
20:30we were both still
20:31kids ourselves.
20:33But with Chad,
20:35there was more.
20:37He could never accept it.
20:41We were already
20:42barely making ends meet
20:44and with a baby on the way.
20:46He said we weren't ready
20:48to be parents
20:49and he pressured me
20:50to give our baby
20:51up for adoption.
20:53I refused.
20:56But then,
20:58Chad found a family
20:59who could offer
21:00our baby a good life.
21:02Much better than
21:03we could offer her.
21:06It was
21:06the hardest thing
21:10I've ever had to do.
21:13I gave her up.
21:15I know
21:16it's terrible,
21:18but it was the best
21:18that I could do
21:19for her.
21:21After we got married,
21:23eventually Jesse
21:24and Lenny came.
21:28And I hoped
21:29that Chad
21:30would change.
21:30but he never
21:33wanted to be a father.
21:35He ran out on us
21:36and he took
21:37our entire life's savings.
21:40That's why
21:41I have to work
21:42so much.
21:43I am doing
21:44my best,
21:46but it never
21:47seems to make
21:48things right.
21:52So,
21:53you never wanted
21:55to abandon
21:55your daughter?
21:57Of course not.
21:58I think about her
22:00every day.
22:01I wish I could
22:02see her.
22:03I wish I could
22:04tell her I love her.
22:06Every single week
22:08since she's been born,
22:09I have been writing
22:10her a letter
22:11in my journal
22:12just in case
22:13I could find her
22:14one day.
22:15she never
22:28stopped thinking
22:28about me.
22:36Uh,
22:37hi,
22:37Andrea.
22:39Hey, Brittany.
22:40I'm sorry again
22:41about last night.
22:42That was a lot
22:43to unload on you.
22:45Uh,
22:45it's no problem.
22:46I just wanted
22:47to let you know
22:47that I will be
22:48giving my presentation
22:49soon at the fundraiser,
22:50so I'll be
22:51turning off my phone.
22:53Tell the kids
22:53I'll be home
22:53as soon as I can.
22:55Sure thing.
23:01Wait.
23:02The presentation.
23:04Why are you
23:05driving so fast?
23:06We have to get
23:07to your mom's fundraiser.
23:08I don't want to go
23:09to some boring work,
23:10Dean.
23:10You need to support
23:11your mom.
23:11Why?
23:12She doesn't support us.
23:13She's trying her best.
23:14Believe me.
23:15So,
23:16without further ado,
23:17let me share with you
23:19the new plans
23:20for the pediatric wing.
23:23Wait!
23:26Your file's corrupted.
23:27Don't open it.
23:28I have a clean copy
23:28on this flash drive here.
23:30Okay.
23:35One moment.
23:38All good.
23:39As I was saying,
23:46the presentation
23:47was a hit.
23:48Thank you for
23:49whatever it is
23:50you did to my computer.
23:51I'd do anything for you
23:53now that I know the truth.
23:55Hey,
23:55I don't want to tell
23:57the kids about...
23:58No, sorry.
24:00I meant something else.
24:04How old would your daughter
24:06be by now?
24:07She'd be 27.
24:12Why?
24:14I'm 27.
24:16I don't understand.
24:19That little girl
24:20grew up in
24:22that perfect home
24:24that you gave her.
24:25Only,
24:26it wasn't
24:26perfect for long.
24:28she ended up
24:31in an orphanage
24:32alone,
24:34growing resentful,
24:36blaming her mother
24:37for abandoning her.
24:40At least until
