00:10:59he doesn't have a mother
00:11:01his life is over
00:11:03do you really think

00:11:07it won't

00:11:12think
00:11:13what that kid is going to do
00:11:18go
00:11:22how are you doing
00:11:25I'm sorry.
00:11:46I didn't mean to yell at you.
00:11:48You're just listening to me.
00:11:51I just can't stand and think.
00:11:55But a mother abandoning their child.
00:12:02Have you ever...
00:12:04Have you ever thought about it from the mother's point of view?
00:12:09What do you mean?
00:12:11I mean, have you ever realized why a mother might do it?
00:12:16There could be many reasons.
00:12:17No.
00:12:19No, Willie.
00:12:21No reason will ever be good enough.
00:12:25If I could find that orphan's mother, I would have them arrested immediately.
00:12:30A mother who disowns their child can never be forgiven.
00:12:45I would know.
00:12:49It happened to me.
00:12:50My mother left me days after I was born without even a name.
00:13:01The priest who found me was named Michael because of the angel.
00:13:04I was lucky enough to be adopted by the Thompsons, but I never forgot about my mother not wanting me.
00:13:16When Jamie came along, we bonded instantly.
00:13:19Target!
00:13:23Jamie was even more determined than I was to deal with his mother.
00:13:26Can you help me with something?
00:13:28Anything.
00:13:29You know that.
00:13:31Good.
00:13:32I want to find my mother.
00:13:35And kill her.
00:13:36Back the fuck up.
00:14:02You know me?
00:14:03I don't know.
00:14:07I don't know.
00:14:11You remember having a son?
00:14:13Do you?
00:14:15I think so.
00:14:17Well, I'm him.
00:14:20You strung out bitch.
00:14:22I want you to apologize to me for leaving me in a fucking cardboard box.
00:14:27In a fucking cutter.
00:14:29I'm sorry.
00:14:31I'm sorry.
00:14:32I was sick.
00:14:33I didn't know what to do.
00:14:36She's useless.
00:14:37Let's go.
00:14:44Excuse me?
00:14:45Do you have any money?
00:14:48I can do anything for you.
00:14:57Hey!
00:15:00Roy can never hear that story.
00:15:02I've spent my entire life trying to understand how a mother could be so horrible.
00:15:13There's no excuse.
00:15:16I really hate mothers who abandon their children that much.
00:15:19Honey.
00:15:31Let's...
00:15:32Let's...
00:15:33Not talk about something...
00:15:37So dark...
00:15:40During our honeymoon, okay?
00:15:41This is supposed to be a very...
00:15:48Very
00:15:49A moment...
00:15:52I've been bound today
00:15:59I'll learn again
00:16:03I'll be yours and you'll mine
00:16:08I'm all safe and bound
00:16:13Every moment and every chance I'll be there
00:16:23With the keys to your heart
00:16:25Every single day I will ask you to say
00:16:33These five lines to your love
00:16:36Honey, I know a way to make our situation better
00:16:56Now I was going to wait until after the honeymoon to tell you this
00:17:00But I think now is the perfect time
00:17:04Tell me what?
00:17:08Well, you know I love you
00:17:10And you love me
00:17:13Yes, of course
00:17:16Good
00:17:18Well, then I think
00:17:20That we should adopt a child immediately
00:17:24Someone
00:17:26Who needs us
00:17:28Someone who deserves a second chance that I come
00:17:30Why now?
00:17:36I mean, we just got married
00:17:37There's no reason to wait
00:17:39I have all the money that we could ever need
00:17:42And this child could have the greatest parents they could ever hope for
00:17:46Maybe we could talk about it in a month
00:17:50You
00:17:51You promised me
00:17:55As my wife
00:17:57To love me
00:17:59And to obey me
00:18:01So I'm telling you
00:18:05We will do this
00:18:07And do it immediately
00:18:08Do you understand, honey?
00:18:14Yes
00:18:15I understand
00:18:17You must be the Thompsons
00:18:33I'm Lisa Bennett
00:18:35It's exciting to have someone of your stature and wealth willing to help one of our orphans
00:18:39No, we're excited to get started
00:18:40Can we see the children now?
00:18:42Right this way
00:18:43Hi
00:18:48Hello
00:18:49Hi
00:18:56Hi there
00:18:57Hello
00:19:05Hello
00:19:06They're great
00:19:10These are excellent
00:19:15Hello there
00:19:23Hello
00:19:24You're very pretty
00:19:26Uh, Lisa said to choose from these ones
00:19:31I think I'd like to get to know this one better
00:19:36What's your name?
00:19:37Sophie
00:19:38Oh
00:19:39A pretty name
00:19:41For a pretty girl
00:19:42Hi there, Sophie
00:19:44Yeah, not this one
00:19:48But
00:19:51She bit me
00:19:52Let's go
00:19:53Don't forget you promised to buy me a new MacBook today
00:20:11This is more important
00:20:17This place is grotesque
00:20:20I mean, I feel bad for the kitties, but
00:20:22Ew
00:20:23Oh, hush
00:20:24You know you're a softie at heart
00:20:26Okay, you got me
00:20:29Show me this kiddo
00:20:30She's over there
00:20:33Hello again
00:20:42Hi
00:20:43This is my best friend, Karen
00:20:46Hi there, sweetheart
00:20:48And I
00:20:52Thought that you might want a best friend, too
00:20:55Now, whatever it costs
00:21:00Thought that you might want a best friend, too
00:21:04Now, whatever it costs
00:21:09I want this adoption approved in a week
00:21:10We can really do it that fast
00:21:13Honey
00:21:14You can do anything with money
00:21:16Now, which boy do you want?
00:21:20None
00:21:20Is this who you bought the toy for?
00:21:29Because I already told you no
00:21:30Sweetheart
00:21:36I'm so sorry that this isn't for you
00:21:39Oh, my God
00:21:51Oh, my God
00:21:51She's going to be okay
00:22:14What happened?
00:22:16We're honestly not sure, but
00:22:19Her vitals all look normal
00:22:20Maybe she was just exhausted
00:22:23Or so scared she had a panic attack
00:22:27It's also a possibility
00:22:28This is the child I want to adopt
00:22:35Why are you so determined about this girl?
00:22:39You said you wanted to give someone a second chance, right?
00:22:42Well, who better than a little girl who really needs us?
00:22:52And this will make you happy?
00:22:55Yes
00:22:55Fine
00:22:58Can't say no to you
00:23:01I'm going to go call Karen
00:23:05Just hold on one moment
00:23:10I didn't want to concern her, but
00:23:14A fainting spell like this
00:23:17It's not good
00:23:19You should take Sophie in for some real tests
00:23:22As soon as possible
00:23:23This could be serious
00:23:26It
00:23:27Could be something deadly
00:23:30My God
00:23:43I never expected this much
00:23:45The city and the judge also received donations
00:23:47Are we good?
00:23:50Yeah
00:23:50Great
00:23:51Then get Sophie ready
00:23:53We're taking her home tonight
00:23:54Okay
00:23:55I'll bring her things upstairs
00:24:11Here you are, Sophie
00:24:21This is your new home
00:24:23It's so big
00:24:25Well, that just means more places to play hide and seek
00:24:28But that's for tomorrow
00:24:31Now we've got to get you ready for bed
00:24:33What's wrong, Willie?
00:24:52Are you okay?
00:24:52Okay
00:24:52I'll get it
00:25:05You must be my new granddaughter
00:25:13Maybe
00:25:13Yes
00:25:15This is my mother, Evelyn
00:25:18Say hello
00:25:19Hello
00:25:20Now, go play in your room
00:25:22Goodbye
00:25:23Well, this is a moment to celebrate
00:25:28I called you here
00:25:35Because I need to know what happened to my child
00:25:38What do you mean?
00:25:40She just left
00:25:41I mean
00:25:42My actual baby
00:25:44The one with the dove birthmark
00:25:47Why would you bring up that mistake?
00:25:52Because
00:25:53Sophie has the same birthmark
00:25:58Is it possible that
00:25:59Stop it
00:26:00Right now
00:26:01Darling
00:26:11You do realize that
00:26:14You have everything now
00:26:17And it would all
00:26:19Vanish
00:26:20If this little
00:26:22Slip
00:26:23Was to get out
00:26:25So have a drink with me
00:26:28Let's forget this nonsense
00:26:32Okay
00:26:32I think I should tell Michael
00:26:58You are not telling anyone
00:27:01Anything
00:27:03That was just a sedative in your drink
00:27:19But I could have made it poisoned
00:27:21Do you think
00:27:28That I went to
00:27:30All that effort
00:27:32To make you the perfect bride
00:27:34So that you could throw it away
00:27:36Just when you had it all
00:27:38Just when we had everything
00:27:41We've always wanted
00:27:43I made you
00:27:51And I can break you
00:27:53Just as easily
00:27:55If you
00:27:58Accidentally died
00:28:01Michael would still pay for my life
00:28:04As his new daughter's helpful grandmother
00:28:05I care about that
00:28:08More than I care about you
00:28:11Do you understand
00:28:13Do you
00:28:16Fantastic
00:28:19Wonderful seeing you dear
00:28:23Make sure that your new brat
00:28:25Is ready for her first play date
00:28:26With her grandma
00:28:27Play date
00:28:30Who do you think
00:28:32Is going to train the next generation
00:28:33In the right way
00:28:41And that's when he told me
00:28:50How much he hates mothers
00:28:52Who abandon their kids
00:28:53That's a lot for your honeymoon
00:28:55It's such a big deal
00:28:57No honey
00:28:59It's not
00:29:00You're never going to abandon Sophie
00:29:02So you'll never have to worry about it
00:29:04But I did
00:29:07Abandon my child
00:29:08That was your mother
00:29:09Being the cruelest bitch
00:29:11On the planet
00:29:11But I let her
00:29:13No one else knows
00:29:15So it'll never haunt you
00:29:17It might
00:29:20I adopted my own daughter
00:29:24What?
00:29:27What are you talking
00:29:28Jack alert
00:29:30My, my, two beautiful women
00:29:36Right where I want them
00:29:37Why don't you show me
00:29:42A good time right now
00:29:43Are you nuts?
00:29:44We're in a salon
00:29:45Oh, please
00:29:46I'll just buy it out
00:29:47And close it down for the day
00:29:48Done it before
00:29:49Uh, yeah
00:29:52I'm going to pass
00:29:53Because I just got a good look
00:29:54At your crotch
00:29:55And I don't see anything
00:29:56Of mention
00:29:56That wasn't very nice
00:29:59Bad girl
00:30:01Jamie
00:30:06Look at me
00:30:08Babe
00:30:08If I give you a real kiss
00:30:10Will you leave us alone today?
00:30:13A French kiss
00:30:14Fine
00:30:16Come on
00:30:23Now that I had a taste
00:30:32I want the whole meal
00:30:33Not today
00:30:34You have to stay away from Jamie
00:30:45He triggers all my danger signs
00:30:46He should
00:30:47But I can handle him
00:30:49And you have to keep him
00:30:51Away from Sophie too
00:30:52He's dangerous to anyone
00:30:54Period
00:30:55Sophie
00:30:56Are you okay?
00:30:57I didn't get to finish my haircut
00:30:59We'll stop at my favorite place
00:31:01Downtown, okay?
00:31:01Okay
00:31:02Thanks, Mom
00:31:02You want to get some ice cream?
00:31:07Yay!
00:31:08Last one to get to the ice cream shop
00:31:09Only gets vanilla
00:31:10Time to take my favorite granddaughter
00:31:33Out for pizza
00:31:34Pizza?
00:31:35Really?
00:31:36Sure
00:31:36Let's bond over pepperoni
00:31:39I already had dinner planned for tonight
00:31:41Some other time, perhaps
00:31:43Now, now
00:31:43You wouldn't want to disappoint me, would you?
00:31:45Or your daughter
00:31:46You want pizza, don't you?
00:31:48I sure do
00:31:49Please, Mom
00:31:50Who could say no to such a cute face?
00:31:54Get out to my car
00:31:55I'll be out there in a second
00:31:56This is why she needs me
00:32:00If you were strong
00:32:01You would have stopped me
00:32:02But you are weak
00:32:04She needs to know how to deal with people like you
00:32:07You just proved my point
00:32:12Do you know what the greatest thing in the whole wide world a woman can do is?
00:32:25Be a mother?
00:32:26If anyone can be a mother, that's nothing special
00:32:29But only the best women can marry correctly
00:32:34I don't understand
00:32:36If a woman is smart, she will make sure that she finds a man that is wealthy, powerful, and capable of taking care of her in any way
00:32:45Like your mother
00:32:46She's smart
00:32:48So, did she just marry daddy for his money?
00:32:52Not just his money
00:32:54His money and his power
00:32:56That's the sweet spot
00:32:57How was your pizza, honey?
00:33:08You don't love daddy
00:33:08You just love this money
00:33:10I hate you and I never want to speak to you again
00:33:12Step one of her training is complete
00:33:17How can you treat your own daughter like this?
00:33:29Like what?
00:33:30Torture me?
00:33:31And turn my own daughter against me?
00:33:34Are you that selfish?
00:33:36I simply know what I want
00:33:38Then know this
00:33:39You can berate me
00:33:41You can treat me like I'm stupid and useless
00:33:44Honey, you are
00:33:45But understand this
00:33:47Your interference with Sophie ends right now
00:33:51Excuse me
00:33:53Do I need to make myself more clear?
00:33:56Sophie is off limits to you forever
00:33:59Nothing is off limits
00:34:01I haven't worried about limits
00:34:03Since I had your father arrested for domestic violence
00:34:06You told me he left
00:34:08He did leave in a police car
00:34:10And if I could do that to the man of my dreams
00:34:13What could I not do to someone
00:34:15I despise
00:34:17Like you
00:34:18You're a shameless monster
00:34:20Oh, monsters do not exist, honey
00:34:23I'm just a person
00:34:24Unafraid to take what's mine
00:34:27Money
00:34:28Power
00:34:30Your child
00:34:31If I want it
00:34:33I will have it
00:34:35You stand in my way of your peril
00:34:37Because I will not hesitate
00:34:40Your 4 p.m. is here
00:34:47Send him in
00:34:49Michael, nice to meet you
00:34:59Daryl
00:34:59What can I do for you?
00:35:01As you know, I'm a reporter
00:35:03And I want to do a story on you
00:35:05On you, your wife
00:35:07And how the richest couple in town
00:35:09Has adopted a child
00:35:10I think a good news story like that
00:35:12Is something people will really want
00:35:14I love the idea
00:35:15What do you need from me?
00:35:17Access to you and your family
00:35:18To begin with
00:35:19Done
00:35:19And I'd love to interview
00:35:22The biological parents
00:35:23If I could
00:35:23Carefully, of course
00:35:25Well, I unfortunately
00:35:27Don't have any information on that
00:35:28But I can't connect you
00:35:29With Alisa Bennett
00:35:30From the adoption center
00:35:31And she should have that info
00:35:32That would be perfect
00:35:33I'll head over there right now
00:35:35Great
00:35:36Thank you
00:35:38Thank you
00:35:39So you don't have anything at all
00:35:50I've never seen a child
00:35:52With this little info
00:35:53We don't even know
00:35:54Where she was born
00:35:55Or how she got into the system
00:35:56And that's unusual?
00:35:58Yes
00:35:58Normally we at least have a record
00:36:00Of how the child was found
00:36:01For Sophie
00:36:03We only have her birthday
00:36:04And that's because
00:36:04The doctor examined her
00:36:05And confirmed it
00:36:06Can you dig a bit deeper
00:36:08And see if something's hidden
00:36:09Or lost somewhere?
00:36:11It's against policy
00:36:12The only person
00:36:13Who could sign off on that
00:36:14Is Sophie's biological parents
00:36:15Or Sophie herself
00:36:17When she turns 18
00:36:18There's nothing I can do
00:36:20Then I'll have to do it myself
00:36:23Karen?
00:36:38Oh my god
00:36:39Craig!
00:36:41Yeah, long time
00:36:42I had no idea
00:36:43You were in town
00:36:44I travel all over these days
00:36:46That's what happens
00:36:47When you own the third largest coffee chain
00:36:49In the country
00:36:49To get it?
00:36:51Like my last name?
00:36:54Damn
00:36:54So you're doing well
00:36:56You seem surprised
00:36:57You were just very different
00:37:00When you were dating Lily
00:37:01Yeah
00:37:02Speaking of Lily
00:37:04I actually saw you two
00:37:06A few days ago
00:37:06You were with a little girl
00:37:09About 9 or 10 years old
00:37:11Little girl?
00:37:14Yeah
00:37:15She was with you
00:37:16And you were all laughing
00:37:17Who is she?
00:37:19Huh
00:37:20That's a weird question
00:37:21Why would you ask that?
00:37:23I'm just curious
00:37:24No need to freak out
00:37:25I'm not freaking out
00:37:26What?
00:37:26Who's freaking out?
00:37:28I
00:37:28Why don't you just stay out of our business
00:37:30Okay?
00:37:30I didn't ask you any weird questions
00:37:32Gosh
00:37:32The hell is going on here?
00:37:45Ready to hang out with Aunt Karen?
00:37:47You bet
00:37:47You guys are going to have so much fun
00:37:49I'll get it
00:37:52Well
00:37:54Hello
00:37:54Family in-laws
00:37:56Michael told me
00:37:59That he was on a business trip
00:38:00So
00:38:00He sent me
00:38:02To look after you two
00:38:03And I promised him
00:38:06We'd have a lot of fun together
00:38:07Sorry
00:38:08We're busy this week
00:38:10Well
00:38:11Hello
00:38:11I'm your uncle Jamie
00:38:13It's time to go
00:38:15Head to the car
00:38:16Don't you ever
00:38:19Speak to her again
00:38:21Okay
00:38:22It's time to go
00:38:43Lily, you can't come to the mall today, maybe never again.
00:38:55Call me when you get this.
00:39:02Lily, you can't come to the mall today, maybe never again.
00:39:05Greg is back in town.
00:39:07I just went in to him, and he owns a whole chain of coffee shops, and there's one in the mall.
00:39:11And he was interested in Sophie, and you know I can't lie, so I just ran.
00:39:15And we both know that Sophie's real father can't find out she exists.
00:39:21He's coming this way.
00:39:22I gotta go.
00:39:23Call me when you get this.
00:39:24Lily's got the secret, and I know what it is.
00:39:43Whoa, I'm close.
00:39:49You haven't heard this one?
00:39:50No, I haven't.
00:39:52It'll make you better.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:53Okay, but I'm gonna win.
00:40:00Sophie!
00:40:02Sophie!
00:40:03Sophie, are you okay?
00:40:06Somebody help!
00:40:07Somebody!
00:40:08Somebody!
00:40:08Somebody!
00:40:13Stay calm!
00:40:26You very likely have a concussion.
00:40:28Where's Sophie?
00:40:30Look, you need to remain calm.
00:40:32Remain still.
00:40:34Okay?
00:40:35Is there any pain in your neck?
00:40:36My neck is fine.
00:40:38What about your head?
00:40:39It hurts.
00:40:40Where is my daughter?
00:40:42They're still checking her.
00:40:45I need you to remain calm until they're done, okay?
00:40:49Doctor, let's help her relax.
00:40:52There we go.
00:40:53No, I need to see my daughter.
00:40:55No, I need to see my daughter.
00:41:09No, I need to see my daughter.
00:41:10No, I need to see my daughter.
00:41:11No, I need to see my daughter.
00:41:12Mommy!
00:41:14Oh, baby.
00:41:15I'm so happy to see you.
00:41:19Hey, it's okay.
00:41:21It's okay.
00:41:22How are you?
00:41:26They keep taking me for more tests.
00:41:30What are you talking about?
00:41:33She'll be fine.
00:41:35I brought you a change of clothes.
00:41:37They called me when they couldn't reach Michael.
00:41:40But don't worry, Sophie and I have been having some very lovely conversations, haven't we?
00:41:44She is coming along so very well.
00:41:55Lily Thompson.
00:41:56I'm Dr. Emily Cotter.
00:41:58I'm a pediatric doctor.
00:42:01Is my daughter okay?
00:42:02That's what we have been looking into.
00:42:05With her second bar of unconsciousness, they called me to do a more thorough examination.
00:42:10Yeah, she said you did test after test.
00:42:13You scared her badly.
00:42:15Having a young girl pass out twice in a few weeks is equally scary.
00:42:20We had to find out what was happening.
00:42:22I didn't know.
00:42:24You didn't.
00:42:25Please sit down, Mrs. Thomas.
00:42:35What's wrong with Sophie?
00:42:37She is very, very sick.
00:42:40She has bone cancer.
00:42:41Bone cancer?
00:42:47She has tumors growing inside of her because her bone marrow isn't working correctly.
00:42:52How deadly is it?
00:42:53Without immediate intervention, it's fatal.
00:42:58What can we do?
00:43:00We can start her on chemo and radiation, but the best chance she has is to get a bone marrow transplant.
00:43:07Yeah, let's do that.
00:43:10My husband can pay for anything we need.
00:43:12Great, then we'll get her biological parents down here for tests immediately.
00:43:17Why do you need her biological parents?
00:43:20Because they are likely to be her best match.
00:43:23We don't know her parents.
00:43:27Then Sophie goes on a two-year waiting list.
00:43:30She doesn't have that long.
00:43:32You'd better try and find her parents, because otherwise, the daughter is very likely going to die.
00:43:37Chin up.
00:43:46Do not let that book fall for any reason.
00:43:49Even when I turn?
00:43:51Sorry.
00:43:52Never apologize.
00:43:53Do you want to walk like a woman of wealth or not?
00:43:58Sophie, go to your room.
00:43:59What is wrong with you?
00:44:03Sophie has bone cancer.
00:44:05She's going to die unless she gets bone marrow from a parent.
00:44:09Don't you get it from me?
00:44:12Do not, under any circumstances, tell anyone who you are.
00:44:17Ever.
00:44:18Why not?
00:44:21I am your mother.
00:44:23I will get you what you need without anyone being a wiser.
00:44:29Honey, what's wrong?
00:44:34Sophie passed out again.
00:44:37They ran tests and...
00:44:39And...
00:44:39Hey, hey.
00:44:41I'm here now.
00:44:43It's okay.
00:44:44Just take a deep breath.
00:44:48I'm so happy you're back.
00:44:51Sophie's really sick.
00:44:54Tell me everything.
00:44:59I will find Sophie's biological parents.
00:45:09I don't know how.
00:45:10I promise you.
00:45:12I will not let our little girl down.
00:45:13You hear me?
00:45:14I won't.
00:45:16How will you even begin to find them?
00:45:17I can't.
00:45:19But I know somebody who can.
00:45:21Michael's asked me to track down the biological parents.
00:45:29My question to you is this.
00:45:31How could there be no records of her actual birth when we know that she was born on the same day that she ended up at the orphanage?
00:45:38The only way that could happen is if someone in the actual hospital system erased the records by hand.
00:45:47So you're saying if it happened at this hospital, you could do it?
00:45:50Yes.
00:45:51So could any doctor or nurse who has access to whatever hospital where she was born.
00:45:57But there has to be something left.
00:45:58Nothing is lost forever in a digital world.
00:46:00If there is a way, I'm afraid I don't know it.
00:46:04I have patients to attend to, so...
00:46:07Of course.
00:46:09Thank you, doctor.
00:46:18We have to do it again.
00:46:22We said we wouldn't.
00:46:23We don't have a choice.
00:46:24I'll get it.
00:46:34Oh, hello, cutie.
00:46:38What do you want this time?
00:46:42I just want to talk about a certain phone call that your friend Karen made.
00:46:46What call?
00:46:47The one about your secret past and all.
00:46:50Sophie, outside and play.
00:46:53But I don't want...
00:46:54Now.
00:46:54You have one minute to explain yourself.
00:47:00Easy there, you little slut.
00:47:02I'm not the one that had a kid without telling my husband.
00:47:05And then later adopting that kid.
00:47:09And hiding the truth from my dear brother.
00:47:14Are you going to tell him?
00:47:16Not unless you have a more personal option.
00:47:19That'll make me happy.
00:47:20Okay.
00:47:20So what's going to be?
00:47:25How did you find me?
00:47:38How did you find me?
00:47:39You bought them things from half the places at the mall.
00:47:52Called them a favor with a friend at Tiffany's and boom.
00:47:56Here we are.
00:47:57Nice going, detective.
00:47:58Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:48:01Sure.
00:48:02As soon as you tell me what made you so scared when I mentioned that girl the other day.
00:48:06It's none of your business now.
00:48:09What do you mean, now?
00:48:12I'll stick on you every day until you tell me.
00:48:17Fine.
00:48:17That girl's name is Sophie.
00:48:21Lily adopted her.
00:48:22That's it?
00:48:24Lily got married.
00:48:26So the child was the next step.
00:48:27Sure.
00:48:28But Lily adopted her own child.
00:48:34Yeah, but that kid's like 10.
00:48:36She was dating me then.
00:48:40Exactly.
00:48:42Sophie's my child.
00:48:44Karen, are you ready to cry?
00:48:48What did you do?
00:48:53You got something to tell me?
00:48:55Hi, Greg.
00:48:58Karen, I'll meet you in the car.
00:49:08I'm so sorry.
00:49:10I never meant for you to hear it this way.
00:49:13Just tell me what happened.
00:49:15We got pregnant.
00:49:16But then Evelyn made me break up with you.
00:49:20That's why you threw me out?
00:49:22Evelyn said that if you found out about the baby, she would steal her the minute she was born.
00:49:27You could have told me at any point in the last 10 years.
00:49:31I know.
00:49:32And then you adopted her to hide it.
00:49:34No.
00:49:35I adopted her by accident.
00:49:37I don't believe you.
00:49:38I want to be a part of her life now.
00:49:42It's the only thing I care about.
00:49:44It's not that easy.
00:49:46Yes, it is.
00:49:48I've lost 10 years with her.
00:49:50I can't just let you see her.
00:49:54Either I get to be her real father, or I blow this all up right now.
00:49:59What are you doing?
00:50:03Michael Thompson, please?
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:06I have a message about his daughter.
00:50:13Okay.
00:50:14You can see her.
00:50:15Just give me 24 hours to prepare Sophie and tell Michael.
00:50:1924 hours.
00:50:22Just go home, and I'll call you tomorrow and tell you when to come.
00:50:29You better call.
00:50:31I will.
00:50:38You deserve better.
00:50:47Right now?
00:50:49What?
00:51:18Right now?
00:51:18What?
00:51:18Right now?
00:51:19Right now?
00:51:19Right now?
00:51:19I wasn't sure how to tell you about Sophie, Greg.
00:51:25Thanks to Karen, that's all taken care of.
00:51:28And it makes your wonderful decision easier.
00:51:33See, Sophie's very sick.
00:51:36And she needs your bone marrow.
00:51:37You can be an amazing father.
00:51:39Do the turn.
00:51:41Willingly.
00:51:43In return, you'll get a million dollars.
00:51:47All you have to do is sign an NDA saying that you won't speak to anyone in Sophie's life, including Sophie, ever.
00:51:56Or.
00:52:02I could put you in a medically induced coma.
00:52:09Harvest your marrow.
00:52:11And then my granddaughter is dead for you.
00:52:17What do you say, Greg?
00:52:22Dear.
00:52:25Help! Somebody help!
00:52:26Help!
00:52:27Help!
00:52:28Help!
00:52:29Oh, no.
00:52:32Idiot.
00:52:38Jamie.
00:52:39Could you meet me for a quick chat?
00:52:42You'll be worth your while.
00:52:43Michael, I have some news.
00:52:50A drop of a dose victim just came into the hospital in a coma.
00:52:54We're going to do more tests, but his blood suggests that he might be a great donor for Sophie.
00:53:00I'll let you know, A$APA.
00:53:01So, you're his only next of kin, Mr. Smith?
00:53:16That is correct, doctor.
00:53:18You give permission for us to test.
00:53:20Oh, yes.
00:53:21My brother always believed in helping others.
00:53:23He would say yes.
00:53:25If he could.
00:53:27Then, let's get to it.
00:53:28Do you really think this guy will be a match?
00:53:40If he's not, we'll keep looking until we find someone who is.
00:53:43And Daryl is a fantastic investigative reporter.
00:53:47We'll find Sophie's parents.
00:53:48I know him.
00:53:50I sort of hope he does.
00:53:51Mommy, Daddy, watch me!
00:53:54Look, I can fly!
00:53:55That's amazing, Sophie.
00:53:58Are you okay, honey?
00:54:02I don't feel so good.
00:54:12We need to take her to the hospital.
00:54:15Now!
00:54:15Dr. Carney needs to see us.
00:54:39Why isn't Sophie woken back up?
00:54:40We have two problems that have converged.
00:54:44First, Sophie's getting worse by the day.
00:54:47If we don't find her a sufficient donor in the next week, it will be too late.
00:54:51Well, what about the potential donor?
00:54:52Well, that's the second problem.
00:54:54He's close, almost like a family member.
00:54:57But he's not close enough.
00:55:03What do we need to do?
00:55:04We really need to find Sophie's mother.
00:55:07No one else will be an effective donor.
00:55:11Dr. Carter, will you excuse us?
00:55:13Of course.
00:55:15Michael, I need to tell you something.
00:55:18There's something you need to know.
00:55:19Hello?
00:55:33Hello?
00:55:34It's Lisa.
00:55:35I hacked into the adoption database for the last time I might add.
00:55:38It shows that a woman dropped Sophie off wrapped in a blanket with your hospital's logo on it.
00:55:43It was the only footage from the security cameras.
00:55:45Those logos were only used in the fourth floor word, I think.
00:55:59Just a moment.
00:56:04That's interesting.
00:56:06What?
00:56:08I'll call you back.
00:56:09Mr. Renaud, I have a piece of information for you.
00:56:19Sophie's birth happened at my hospital and it was paid for by someone named Evelyn.
00:56:32What a story this is going to be.
00:56:35I have something to tell you.
00:56:41Okay.
00:56:43I haven't been entirely truthful about my past before we met.
00:56:50Truthful.
00:56:52Well then, let's start being truthful.
00:56:56I was in love once before to a man named Greg.
00:57:00Greg.
00:57:12Do you still love him?
00:57:14Hmm?
00:57:17You're not.
00:57:18No.
00:57:19You're not having an affair with him.
00:57:21Are you?
00:57:22What?
00:57:23No.
00:57:25Good.
00:57:26Then this might be great news for you.
00:57:28Okay.
00:57:30Is everything okay?
00:57:40Sophie's your actual fucking daughter?
00:57:47Sophie's your actual fucking daughter?
00:57:53You had a child with him?
00:57:56Yes, but let me explain.
00:57:57And you abandoned her.
00:57:59No, it's not like that.
00:58:00Did you abandon her?
00:58:02Yes or no?
00:58:05It wasn't entirely me, it's fault.
00:58:13Evelyn?
00:58:14I take it you had some part of this?
00:58:17Yes.
00:58:18I helped put the child in an orphanage.
00:58:23Only because I really just wanted to forget about the whole thing.
00:58:27Forget?
00:58:30You wanted to forget about your daughter?
00:58:35You know what?
00:58:37Yeah.
00:58:38Okay, fine.
00:58:39I'm going to make all your dreams come true.
00:58:41Forget about Sophie.
00:58:44Because you're never, ever going to see her again.
00:58:50Everyone, I want you to go to Sophie's room, bring security, and make sure Willie doesn't get anywhere near her.
00:58:57Also, I'm going to call the judge and get a restraining order.
00:59:04Willie, Willie, hastings.
00:59:05I want you to come on over here and make sure that Truthful Lily here, and make sure she doesn't escape.
00:59:29And, brother, do whatever you need.
00:59:35Did you just say, whatever?
00:59:39You hurt me.
00:59:49Karen, you have to get to Sophie right now.
00:59:52She's in the hospital.
00:59:54She's safer with you.
00:59:56Michael knows.
00:59:57And he's going to cut me off from her forever.
00:59:59On my way.
01:00:01Well, your secret's out.
01:00:02You're a broken woman, and my brother wants nothing to do with you.
01:00:06We will work it out.
01:00:07Oh, you don't know the hatred my brother has for women like you.
01:00:13Now, I can do anything I want.
01:00:17Again.
01:00:18Please, stop.
01:00:20You know, maybe I'll keep you in one of my basement rooms, treat you like my little plaything.
01:00:23That is, until I get bored of you.
01:00:26Oh, don't worry.
01:00:27Sophie, Sophie's going to forget about you soon enough.
01:00:31And then, she'll end the love me.
01:00:33Oh, is that kind of such a fucking person?
01:00:56Such a prude.
01:00:57Please, stay away from me.
01:01:01Turns out you're just a cheap slut.
01:01:05People will hear you.
01:01:06So what?
01:01:07Michael protects me, no matter what I do.
01:01:10Not for hurting me.
01:01:15For anything.
01:01:18I wanted you the moment I laid eyes on you.
01:01:20So that's exactly what I'm going to get.
01:01:24We're going to have so much fun together.
01:01:26I never forgot the moment she pulled this on me.
01:01:45So when I saw her purse, I just, I just grabbed it.
01:01:50I'm glad you've taken it.
01:01:52Me too.
01:01:53I don't ever want to lose you again.
01:02:14You won't ever again.
01:02:39We can't stay here.
01:02:41Someone must have hurt the shots.
01:02:42Good point.
01:02:44We have to get to Sophie.
01:02:45Either way.
01:02:50How did you even get here?
01:02:52It's a long story.
01:02:53Your name is Greg Benedetti.
01:03:07And you're Sophie's father, right?
01:03:09I knew your supposed brother looked familiar.
01:03:14How did you know who I was?
01:03:15Your bone marrow was a close enough match to get me looking into who you really were.
01:03:20And fortunately for you, you have a donor's bracelet in case if you can't speak or you're in a coma.
01:03:26Once I knew who you were, I just realized that coma had been induced.
01:03:30It meant I couldn't do it.
01:03:32Okay, now, slowly, get up.
01:03:36Slowly.
01:03:39All right.
01:03:40Do you have any idea where Sophie could have gone?
01:03:43She's just vanished from her room.
01:03:45I've never even met her.
01:03:46Oh, you better find someone who knows.
01:03:49I just saw Sophie's latest blood work, and she has only a day or two left.
01:03:52I can't believe my mother would stoop so low as to put you in a coma.
01:04:00It seems completely on brand to me.
01:04:02Well, we have to figure out where Karen put Sophie before she or my husband figure it out.
01:04:07Otherwise, I'll never see her again.
01:04:10I think we have our answer.
01:04:13That looks like Karen's handiwork, all right?
01:04:22Sorry, I thought you were Michael.
01:04:33Where's Sophie?
01:04:34Lily, we have a problem.
01:04:36She's dying right now.
01:04:52Get this girl into the ICU now.
01:05:05She needs a donor right now.
01:05:06Do we have one?
01:05:07Yes.
01:05:08I'm her real mother.
01:05:09Test me.
01:05:11I'll ask you how that happened later.
01:05:12Right now, let's get you tested.
01:05:15Don't let that woman near my daughter.
01:05:19Nonsense.
01:05:19She's going to save her life, Mr. Thompson.
01:05:21I don't care.
01:05:22She abandoned Sophie, and she won't hurt her again.
01:05:25What she's doing right now, she will be helping.
01:05:27There's no helping the damage that's caused by abandoning your own child.
01:05:31But I'll make sure there's no damage caused further.
01:05:35Sit.
01:05:38Now.
01:05:38Michael, we need Lily's bone marrow, but that's all we need.
01:05:58I can make sure we get what we need from her without Lily being able to hurt anyone ever again.
01:06:04How?
01:06:04We tell everyone she's been crazy for years and have her committed.
01:06:12We get her bone marrow and then keep her dosed up forever in a padded room.
01:06:17Evelyn, I don't want to walk Lily up.
01:06:21I want to make sure she never sees Sophie again.
01:06:26But if your marrow will save her, you'll give it to her.
01:06:30And then you'll walk away forever.
01:06:33Understood?
01:06:39Understood?
01:06:39You say that no mother should abandon their child, but then you try to force me to leave her forever.
01:06:51And you...
01:06:52You weren't the reason I lost my daughter in the first place.
01:06:57If you hadn't threatened to kill Greg if I didn't give you my child, I never would have lost her.
01:07:03What?
01:07:06Is...
01:07:06Is that true?
01:07:08You're the reason that all this happened?
01:07:10Lily is making up stories.
01:07:12Clearly, you can see that.
01:07:15And she believes me, mother.
01:07:19So what if I did?
01:07:20I was just trying to make sure she was the proper wife for a man of your sex.
01:07:24It was you!
01:07:25You made your daughter, who was ten years with her own.
01:07:33I'll give you the count of three to get the fuck out of this hospital.
01:07:37One.
01:07:38Two.
01:07:50Please.
01:07:52Just save our daughter.
01:07:54We'll figure out the rest of her.
01:07:55Let's do it.
01:08:09Let's do it.
01:08:09Let's do it.
01:08:11Let's do it.
01:08:11Let's do it.
01:08:12Let's do it.
01:08:13Let's do it.
01:08:13Let's do it.
01:08:13Let's do it.
01:08:14Let's do it.
01:08:14Let's do it.
01:08:14Let's do it.
01:08:15Let's do it.
01:08:15Let's do it.
01:08:15Let's do it.
01:08:16Let's do it.
01:08:16Let's do it.
01:08:17Let's do it.
01:08:17Let's do it.
01:08:17Let's do it.
01:08:18Let's do it.
01:08:19Let's do it.
01:08:19Let's do it.
01:08:20Let's do it.
01:08:21Let's do it.
01:08:22Let's do it.
01:08:23Let's do it.
01:08:24Let's do it.
01:08:25Let's do it.
01:08:26Let's do it.
01:08:27Let's do it.
01:08:28Let's do it.
01:08:29Let's do it.
01:09:00The transplant looks good.
01:09:13It's going to take some time to see how well it works, but the match is perfect.
01:09:17I'm sure it's going to make Sophie much better.
01:09:20Thank you, Dr. Carter.
01:09:21My pleasure.
01:09:28Our daughter's going to be okay.
01:09:30I can't believe how good that sounds.
01:09:51I never hope for any of this to happen.
01:09:54I know.
01:09:55I'm just glad that Sophie has her parents back.
01:09:59Her real parents.
01:10:03You're a good man, Michael.
01:10:06Sophie and I both know that.
01:10:08You'll find someone new.
01:10:16Someone better than me.
01:10:19Really, no one's as good as you.
01:10:21Especially at being a mother.
01:10:23I also, I want to apologize for how I treated you.
01:10:30You showed me that there are reasons why a mother would give up a child.
01:10:34So thank you for that.
01:10:35Tonight, I want to finish the tale of the woman who adopted her past.
01:10:47To the parents and their child, life is much simpler.
01:10:51Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:11:05Thanks, Daddy, too.
01:11:06For the wicked, punishment came swiftly.
01:11:12Evelyn Hastings, you're under arrest for the murder of Jamie Thompson.
01:11:17What?
01:11:18No, no, there's a mistake.
01:11:20No, I didn't even fire the gun.
01:11:21No, no, I wasn't.
01:11:22I wasn't even there.
01:11:22Get off.
01:11:23Don't touch me.
01:11:24Stop it.
01:11:25Best of all, this tale ends as all good fairy tales do.
01:11:32I can't believe after all this time, I get to say this again.
01:11:37I love you, Lily.
01:11:39I love you, too.
01:11:40And I love the both of you.
01:11:41They lived happily ever after.
01:11:46For Shorts, I'm Daryl Grinnellt.
01:11:49Good night.
01:11:50Good night.
01:12:11I love you, too.
