00:00:00Where's Dorian?

00:00:09My baby's coming any second now.

00:00:12Can a husband disappear in a moment like this?

00:00:14He'll be here soon.

00:00:16He's going to get his mom.

00:00:18Seriously, thank you, Anita.

00:00:20For being here.

00:00:22I'm your best friend.

00:00:24I wouldn't miss this for the world.

00:00:28I'm gonna go grab the doctor.

00:00:30I'm gonna go grab the doctor.

00:00:59I'm gonna go grab the doctor.

00:01:05Dad?

00:01:07I'm about to have the baby.

00:01:09What?

00:01:11Virus!

00:01:13What?

00:01:15Are you really walking out on your family?

00:01:18Dad!

00:01:19You were wrong about Dorian, okay?

00:01:22He doesn't care about money!

00:01:24He loves me!

00:01:26And I choose him!

00:01:27Him!

00:01:28If you walk through that gate, you are no longer my daughter!

00:01:34And you'll have nothing to do with the Esther name ever again!

00:01:37Even if you never call me your daughter again, I'm still your dad!

00:01:46And I love you!

00:01:47And I love you, dad!

00:01:51I always will!

00:01:53But I choose him!

00:01:55Because our love is real, dad!

00:01:58And I'm gonna prove it to you!

00:02:00Congratulations, sir.

00:02:16You're gonna be your grandfather.

00:02:17Dorian still rubs me the wrong way.

00:02:25He barely looks like he could take care of a goldfish, let alone a family.

00:02:29Still, Irish chose him.

00:02:32And now they're about to have a baby.

00:02:34Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance.

00:02:39Get the finest gifts money can buy.

00:02:41I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty.

00:02:48Guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris.

00:02:52If not, he'll have me to answer to.

00:03:04Mr. Holland, Mr. Holland, what's wrong?

00:03:16What happened?

00:03:17You sounded like you were having a heart attack.

00:03:19Hurry, I need to get the Baltimore Sierra from the vault.

00:03:22I need it delivered to Miss Esther ASAP.

00:03:24You're giving that away?

00:03:26I just got word that Miss Esther, the richest heiress on earth, is having a baby today.

00:03:30We must congratulate you with a most spectacular gift.

00:03:32If we pulled this off, we could have a partnership with THE ASTRODOMINION.

00:03:37We're talking billions, Jessica!

00:03:39Billions!

00:03:40Now go!

00:03:41Run!

00:03:42Now!

00:03:56A private hospital?

00:04:00Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?

00:04:03She's burning through your money like it grows on trees.

00:04:07Mom, please don't get worked up.

00:04:09The doctor said Iris has placenta previa.

00:04:11It's serious.

00:04:12There's a real risk of bleeding.

00:04:14Oh, Dorian!

00:04:16Your wife's just being dramatic.

00:04:19And who does she think she is?

00:04:20Some royal heiress or something?

00:04:22This is why we're bleeding money.

00:04:24If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today, tomorrow, she's going to want to

00:04:30live in Nanny.

00:04:31And then what?

00:04:32A private chef?

00:04:34A butler?

00:04:35What do I do, Mom?

00:04:36You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?

00:04:39No, not yet.

00:04:41Good.

00:04:41When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead.

00:04:46Okay, Mom.

00:04:47Just remember, no other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does.

00:04:53Oh, my precious baby.

00:04:55Iris, placenta previa is serious.

00:05:01You need to rest and take it easy.

00:05:03We've got you covered around the clock.

00:05:05We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe.

00:05:13Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you.

00:05:16You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise.

00:05:25That's the door in your hair.

00:05:32Look at this room.

00:05:35This isn't a hospital.

00:05:37She's treating labor like it's a spa retreat.

00:05:40Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-laws gave birth at local clinics and it only cost

00:05:47three grand total, but your wife is spending two grand a night.

00:05:54I don't know, Mom.

00:05:56I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby.

00:05:58Oh, Dorian.

00:06:01Don't be stupid.

00:06:03This has nothing to do with the baby.

00:06:06She's flaunting.

00:06:07She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite.

00:06:12I warned you.

00:06:14She is not as sweet as she seems.

00:06:16If you keep letting her burn through your money like this, one day you're going to wake

00:06:22up with nothing left.

00:06:26Then what do I do?

00:06:28Don't worry, my sweet boy.

00:06:31I'm going to handle everything, okay?

00:06:34Okay.

00:06:35Let's go.

00:06:37Tessatorian.

00:06:38What were you guys chatting about out there?

00:06:39Oh, actually, um, the doctor said the bill was due.

00:06:42Do you think you could take care of that?

00:06:45Iris, do you have any idea what all this costs?

00:06:49A room like this runs 50, 60 grand.

00:06:53Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family.

00:06:57Stop blowing through his savings and leave this hospital immediately.

00:07:02Leave the hospital.

00:07:09A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt before the baby's even born.

00:07:14Could you just think about Dorian for once?

00:07:20Tessatorian.

00:07:21I love him.

00:07:23I'm not wasting anyone's money.

00:07:25I chose this hospital because I had placentia previa.

00:07:28I could bleed out.

00:07:29And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency.

00:07:32I'm not here for comfort.

00:07:35I'm here to protect the baby and make sure that they're safe.

00:07:39Dorian, I know how hard you work.

00:07:43Just let me stay one night and just to make sure the baby is stable and then we can transfer, I promise.

00:07:50Son, don't fall for that.

00:07:53We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight.

00:07:56If she drags this out, it's going to be thousands more down the drain.

00:08:00Tessa, this is between my husband and I.

00:08:03Please just give us a moment.

00:08:05I'm his mother.

00:08:06Dorian's opinion is my opinion.

00:08:08Now come on.

00:08:09We are leaving this hospital.

00:08:16Dorian.

00:08:21Dorian.

00:08:22Iris, let's just go to a local clinic.

00:08:28Raising a kid is expensive.

00:08:29We need to save where we can.

00:08:31That's right.

00:08:32We're not the bad guys here.

00:08:34Tons of women give birth at local hospitals.

00:08:37But you are a greedy little leech.

00:08:41And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry.

00:08:44What do you think he is?

00:08:45Your personal ATM?

00:08:47I'm not trying to waste anyone's money.

00:08:50I have a low-lying placenta.

00:08:52And if something goes wrong, the BB could die.

00:08:56Don't go soft on her.

00:08:58Let her play you.

00:08:59Every pregnant woman has complications.

00:09:02Just because it's risky doesn't mean it's going to happen.

00:09:05If you cave now, she will bleed you dry for the rest of your life.

00:09:10You're right, Mom.

00:09:12Thanks for always having my back.

00:09:13I'm here for you.

00:09:17Unlike certain people, I will never let someone make a fool of you.

00:09:23Iris, if you want to stay in this hospital, fine.

00:09:27But you're going to pay for it yourself.

00:09:30I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you waste one more cent of my son's money.

00:09:37No, do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.

00:10:07Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.

00:10:25Dorian, what happened to you?

00:10:28Okay.

00:10:29I'm all about to pay for it.

00:10:30Kai, could you settle the bill with us, please?

00:10:40See?

00:10:41She had the cash all along.

00:10:44Women like her always pretend that they're broke until it's time to spend your money.

00:10:50She doesn't feel the pressure now.

00:10:52She's never going to know what it takes to keep a family afloat.

00:10:56You're right, Mom.

00:10:57You always are.

00:10:57You really are the only person that's truly looking out for me.

00:11:01That's right.

00:11:02My precious baby boy.

00:11:05I'm sorry, ma'am.

00:11:06Your card was declined.

00:11:08You're short about $20,000.

00:11:10If you can't pay, we have to discharge you.

00:11:18This is everything I have left.

00:11:21Is she really broke?

00:11:23It doesn't make any sense.

00:11:24With her three jobs, she should have saved at least $20,000.

00:11:27Yeah, well, that's because I cover all the household bills.

00:11:31And ever since I got pregnant, everything has been going to prenatal stuff.

00:11:34Vitamins, supplements, hospital visits.

00:11:36I mean, it all adds up, Dorian.

00:11:38What on earth has she been through these past three years?

00:11:43Brian, can you just...

00:11:44Please, just consider it alone.

00:11:47Just...

00:11:48I swear, I'll pay you back.

00:11:50Absolutely not.

00:11:52Don't fall for this.

00:11:54Every wife stashes emergency cash.

00:11:58Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?

00:12:00Do you think it's her only one?

00:12:02She's still hiding money.

00:12:04I know she is.

00:12:11Dorian, please.

00:12:12Please, just help me pay the 20 grand.

00:12:14I swear, I'll pay you back.

00:12:17Don't fall for her act.

00:12:19I know what you're playing at.

00:12:21You're trying to squeeze money out of Dorian.

00:12:24And then you're just going to run away without paying a cent.

00:12:28How could you say that?

00:12:32Oh.

00:12:33Okay.

00:12:35Okay, Dorian.

00:12:37I think something's going to happen with the baby.

00:12:39The baby's in trouble.

00:12:40You're not fooling anyone.

00:12:43If you're really so broke,

00:12:45why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?

00:12:49You've already drained him dry.

00:12:52What more do you want from him?

00:12:54Dorian, Dorian, please.

00:12:56I'm begging you.

00:12:57Please just say something.

00:12:59Don't fall for her drama.

00:13:01You have two choices.

00:13:02Either we can transfer her to a cheaper hospital,

00:13:05or she can pay for everything herself.

00:13:07And if she doesn't want to do either,

00:13:11then we don't want the baby anyway.

00:13:14Okay.

00:13:15I'll listen to you, Mom.

00:13:19Okay.

00:13:20I'll listen to you, Mom.

00:13:22Dorian, I gave up my family to be with you.

00:13:25And when you started your business, I supported you.

00:13:28I gave you everything that I have.

00:13:30I mean, I paid for the mortgage and the car payments.

00:13:34I have nothing left.

00:13:36Please save us the sob story.

00:13:39You ruined your own ties with your family.

00:13:42Don't blame Dorian for that.

00:13:44If you want to stay here, then fine.

00:13:47Pay for it yourself.

00:13:48But the Bates family is not paying a single cent.

00:13:56Please, can I just see a doctor of hers?

00:14:01Oh, my God, Iris.

00:14:03Stop acting like the victim.

00:14:05Now it all makes sense.

00:14:07You stayed here to show off.

00:14:08When did you become so shallow?

00:14:11You've become shallow.

00:14:12Well, aren't you?

00:14:14If you were really worried about the baby,

00:14:18why wouldn't you take out a loan?

00:14:19This is 2025.

00:14:21There's apps for that.

00:14:23You want me to take out a highly predatory,

00:14:27a high-interest loan to give birth.

00:14:29Who's going to be your grandchild?

00:14:31I mean, how could you be so heartless?

00:14:33Are you really guilt-tripping me right now?

00:14:37You're the one refusing to pay for your own baby.

00:14:40God, in my day, we didn't need luxury hospitals to give birth.

00:14:44We gave birth at home for free.

00:14:48I don't know what my son saw in a gold digger like you.

00:14:51This is ridiculous.

00:14:53I didn't marry Dorian for the money.

00:14:56Stop lying!

00:14:58If you weren't after our money,

00:15:01why haven't you taken out the loan yet?

00:15:04Quit stalling.

00:15:08That hurts.

00:15:09Bastards!

00:15:13How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!

00:15:20Alone?

00:15:21Are you seriously making Iris take out a loan?

00:15:24Oh my god, Iris.

00:15:26Are you okay?

00:15:29I got you.

00:15:31Okay.

00:15:32What is wrong with you?

00:15:34She's your wife.

00:15:35She's about to give birth.

00:15:36This is a family matter.

00:15:38Stay out of it.

00:15:38Stay out of it?

00:15:40You expect me to watch you and your mom abuse my best friend?

00:15:46Okay.

00:15:48Okay.

00:15:49Nurse.

00:15:50Nurse, please check her.

00:15:51She's in so much pain.

00:15:53Is the baby coming?

00:15:54She's in early labor.

00:15:57Internal bleeding started.

00:15:58We have to admit her now.

00:15:59Sir, you have to pay the hospital bill immediately.

00:16:02You haven't paid the bill yet?

00:16:03That's why you want her to take out a loan?

00:16:06She's about to give birth to your child and you want her to pay by herself?

00:16:10What kind of man does that?

00:16:12Thank God.

00:16:14At least my baby girl has a good friend by her side.

00:16:17Shut your mouth.

00:16:19This has nothing to do with you.

00:16:21Get your shit together.

00:16:23Doctor said she's high risk.

00:16:24This isn't about luxury.

00:16:25It's about survival.

00:16:26She's here to keep herself and the baby alive.

00:16:28What the hell do you know?

00:16:30It's not like you've ever given birth before.

00:16:33Exactly.

00:16:34You're just a loud mouth that thinks that screaming makes you right.

00:16:38You're just like your friend, a gold digger.

00:16:41If you care so much, why don't you pay the damn 20 grand yourself?

00:16:45We're not paying a cent.

00:16:47She can give birth on the floor if she wants.

00:16:51What's the worst that can happen?

00:16:54You two are unbelievable.

00:16:59Touch my mom and there's more where that came from.

00:17:01Even if you are Iris' friend.

00:17:05Touch my mom and there's more where that came from.

00:17:08Anita?

00:17:08Don't fight them.

00:17:09We're in.

00:17:12Just don't hurt her.

00:17:13I will take out the load.

00:17:15Aw, couldn't win with your words.

00:17:18You had to use your fists, huh?

00:17:20How classy.

00:17:21I'm so sorry, mom.

00:17:22Are you all right?

00:17:23Oh.

00:17:24Oh.

00:17:26I'll be okay.

00:17:27For your sake.

00:17:28You've never been a good daughter-in-law.

00:17:33Your parents didn't even send a dime for the wedding.

00:17:37Do you know that when Mrs. Smith's son got married, her in-laws sent 50 grand cash and they gave her a brand new Tesla?

00:17:46Not only did you show up with nothing, now you're trying to empty his bank account, too.

00:17:53I'm sorry, baby.

00:17:55You deserve so much better than that.

00:18:02Nurse, you could use it a little bit with this quickly, please.

00:18:05See?

00:18:07Was it that hard?

00:18:08That's what it means to be part of the Bates family.

00:18:11But you're not off the hook yet.

00:18:13What else could you possibly want from me?

00:18:16Well, you're still married to Dorian, so he could be responsible for your debt.

00:18:21But you took out the loan on your own, right?

00:18:23You should be the one to pay it back.

00:18:25So, here's what's going to happen.

00:18:28You're going to sign a simple statement that says that Dorian is not responsible for any of it.

00:18:36What the hell did you just say?

00:18:38I said, I want you to sign this disclaimer that exempts Dorian from any liability for your debt.

00:18:47No way!

00:18:48I am not just having this baby alone.

00:18:51I mean, this is Dorian's child, too.

00:18:53And more importantly, this child isn't yours.

00:18:56The financial decisions are solely between my husband and I.

00:19:01How dare you raise your voice to me?

00:19:04Do you think you're hot shit just because Dorian knocked you up?

00:19:09You are nothing but a disrespectful little brat speaking to your mother-in-law that way.

00:19:16Iris, seriously, you should treat my mother with more respect.

00:19:19Are you hearing this?

00:19:20I was just standing here, sticking up for you, and then she gives me this attitude.

00:19:25When she pushes the baby out, you're going to need to put your foot down with her.

00:19:32Iris, you've already taken out the loan.

00:19:35So, why are you dragging your feet signing the disclaimer?

00:19:39Sign the damn disclaimer!

00:19:41You two are unbelievable.

00:19:43This baby has your family's DNA.

00:19:47Refusing financial liability is one thing, but putting her health at risk right before birth?

00:19:54It's diabolical.

00:19:56Like my mom said, all pregnancies come with some level of risk, but you don't see every pregnant woman spending a fortune, do you?

00:20:02If Iris wants to stay in this plush-ass hospital, then she can cough up the cash for it.

00:20:07Bastard!

00:20:09Oh!

00:20:10Don't fight them, it's not worth it, okay?

00:20:13Dorian, I will sign the disclaimer.

00:20:17But you have to promise me that you will not tell my dad.

00:20:22I don't want him to worry about me.

00:20:26It took a long time to get him to accept you.

00:20:30And when his baby is born, I just wanted to have a complete meal.

00:20:35What does Iris' dad do?

00:20:37Not sure.

00:20:38I only met him once.

00:20:40Just seemed like your average Joe.

00:20:42So he's just a nobody?

00:20:44Huh.

00:20:46Except Dorian.

00:20:47Who the hell does your father think he is?

00:20:50Some billionaire CEO.

00:20:52He's just a broke-ass bum who didn't even go to his daughter's wedding.

00:20:59He doesn't give a damn about you.

00:21:03Never even loved you anyways.

00:21:16You're already here.

00:21:18Yes, baby.

00:21:20Daddy's here now.

00:21:22If I got here any later, God knows what these two would have done to you.

00:21:30So you're Iris' father.

00:21:33You got here just in time.

00:21:35As her father, I demand that you sign this disclaimer on her behalf.

00:21:41To see you leave my dad out of this.

00:21:46Oh my God, Dorian.

00:21:48Your wife just won't stop yelling at me.

00:21:50Iris, if you can't start showing my mom some basic respect, I'm going to have to stop playing nice.

00:21:55Iris, is this the man you gave up everything for?

00:22:00Dorian is a wonderful man, but his mom is gaslighting.

00:22:04I mean, he can't see how severe the situation is with the baby.

00:22:09Iris, all she's trying to do is help.

00:22:10If she wanted to help, then she wouldn't be here causing a thing!

00:22:14Oh, Mr. Astor, if you're so concerned, why don't you sign the form and take on your daughter's 20 grand of debt?

00:22:26Mr. Astor, don't listen to her.

00:22:29First, she forced Iris to take out a loan with a crazy high interest rate, and now she wants you to pay it back.

00:22:34She's way out of line.

00:22:35Well, Dorian sure as hell isn't going to pay it.

00:22:38Iris' debt has shit to do with him.

00:22:41I'm just trying for everyone to stop ganging up on my boy.

00:22:45Anita, keep digging your nose into our family's business, and I'll have security drag your ass out.

00:22:55Iris, is this the true love you threw your whole life away for?

00:23:03And we are going to be living happily ever after, even if we have absolutely nothing.

00:23:11Because our love is real, Dad, and I'm going to prove it to you.

00:23:21Have you got a screw loose?

00:23:23You can't have true love without money.

00:23:26This is real life, not some fairy tale.

00:23:28Now quit stalling and sign the damn disclaimer.

00:23:33Your mom is making my dad sign this disclaimer and you are just going to stand there?

00:23:39Iris, all I've ever asked is that you be sympathetic to my financial constraints and not be wasteful with money.

00:23:44How is that still so hard for you to understand?

00:23:47I can't believe I'm about to sign off on a measly $20,000.

00:23:52If the word gets out, I'll be the laughingstock of every boardroom in town.

00:24:00Iris, if this is really the happily ever after you want, I'll do it for you and the baby.

00:24:08Let's do this contract, Nolan Boyd.

00:24:32I gave you an out.

00:24:42This is how you react?

00:24:44You are leaving this hospital right now.

00:24:47I don't care where that baby is born,

00:24:49but it sure as hell is not going to be here.

00:24:52Shut up!

00:24:56This baby is between Dory and I,

00:24:59so stop getting it between us!

00:25:01You are a monstrous disgrace of a woman.

00:25:07What did you just call me?

00:25:09A disgrace.

00:25:11Dorian, I stood up for you through everything.

00:25:17When you wanted to chase your dreams and start your business,

00:25:22I gave you all of my savings,

00:25:24and now I swallow my pride,

00:25:30and I take out this predatory loan,

00:25:33well, because you don't even want to pay for the birth of your own child.

00:25:39And now you're asking my dad to sign this bullshit disclaimer!

00:25:45Dorian, you should be ashamed of yourself.

00:25:50Iris, I was not trying to...

00:25:52Dorian, don't fall for her act.

00:25:54She is just a spoiled, materialistic snob

00:26:00who insists on giving birth in the most expensive hospital.

00:26:04You're right, Mom.

00:26:05Iris, stop acting like the victim.

00:26:09You chose this place to show off,

00:26:12trying to make yourself look rich and important.

00:26:14Look, if you don't want to sign the disclaimer, fine,

00:26:18but don't expect any help from me when the baby comes.

00:26:21So...

00:26:24that you would hurt your back on your baby...

00:26:28because of money.

00:26:31Okay.

00:26:33Bye.

00:26:33And I will raise this baby on my own.

00:26:44Dorian...

00:26:45I want a divorce.

00:26:54Oh!

00:26:55Please.

00:26:56Oh!

00:26:57Oh!

00:26:58Oh!

00:26:59Oh!

00:27:00Oh!

00:27:01Oh!

00:27:02Oh!

00:27:03Oh!

00:27:06Iris.

00:27:08Iris.

00:27:09Stop.

00:27:10What do you mean you want a divorce?

00:27:11Do you not love me anymore?

00:27:15I feel like I should be asking you if you ever really loved me.

00:27:18Dorian, what were you doing in there

00:27:20when your control freak of a mother was harassing me,

00:27:22enforcing my dad to sign the disclaimer?

00:27:25I told you not to talk about my mom like that.

00:27:27All she's trying to do is help.

00:27:28Well, if that is what you think, then,

00:27:30you should just live with your mom for the rest of your life.

00:27:32Iris.

00:27:33Iris.

00:27:34Have you ever actually looked in the mirror?

00:27:36You're trash.

00:27:37And trash doesn't get to talk to my son like that.

00:27:43Touch me with your filthy hands.

00:27:45Oh!

00:27:46Dorian!

00:27:47First, she was just spouting threats at me.

00:27:50And now, she's actually flat-out assaulting me.

00:27:54You're a complete psycho.

00:27:56Iris, did you just push my mom?

00:27:59I mean, you're acting like a fucking lunatic.

00:28:02You're just gonna pin this on me because I'm psycho?

00:28:05Iris.

00:28:06I gave you sound financial advice out of the kindness of my own heart.

00:28:13And instead of being grateful, you attack me.

00:28:16Is that not exactly what a psycho would do?

00:28:20No.

00:28:21It's not.

00:28:23What is this?

00:28:24What is this?

00:28:28You bitch!

00:28:30How dare you fucking hit me?

00:28:32I'm gonna fucking kill you!

00:28:34Touch my daughter again and you're dead!

00:28:38Dorian, they're ganging up on me.

00:28:45They're trying to beat up your poor old mother.

00:28:48Iris, I was blind to marry someone like you.

00:28:51No, Dorian.

00:28:52I was the blind one.

00:28:53I was the one who abandoned my family for a scumbag like you!

00:28:58You know, I really thought that you were different.

00:29:01I thought that you were a good man.

00:29:04A man who didn't care about money.

00:29:07A man who truly loved me.

00:29:09But it turns out, you were the type of man who abandoned their own child over $20,000

00:29:16and let their mother manipulate my father into signing a stupid agreement!

00:29:22Iris, you took out the loan yourself.

00:29:26Give me one good reason why my son should be responsible for your debt!

00:29:31Honestly, I've never seen anyone so shameless.

00:29:36You know, my Dorian was a real catch back then.

00:29:40And out of all the girls he could have chosen, he ended up with a useless wife like you.

00:29:48A broke ass bitch who couldn't even afford to pay for the wedding.

00:29:53You know, since you've married my son, you've done nothing for our family.

00:29:58I mean, you could barely afford the mortgage and car payments.

00:30:02You only forked out a few thousand dollars when Dorian was trying to start his own business.

00:30:07And now, you are trying to bleed him dry.

00:30:11This wife covers the mortgage and the car payments,

00:30:14and she gave him money to start a business.

00:30:16That sounds like enough to me.

00:30:17I mean, what do they want from her?

00:30:19They're clearly the ones bleeding her to dry.

00:30:21If I had a wife like that, I'd be living the dream.

00:30:24Right?

00:30:25That guy's mom looks super controlling.

00:30:26She's probably trying to drive a wedge between her son and his wife.

00:30:29What the hell do you idiots know?

00:30:32I'm just trying to protect my son's interests.

00:30:34You don't know shit.

00:30:36Unlike some moms, mine actually cares about me.

00:30:39So shut up and stay out of our business.

00:30:41And you.

00:30:42You didn't even send a dime when Dorian and Iris got married.

00:30:47And now, you show up empty-handed again today.

00:30:51Who says I came empty-handed?

00:30:58Who says I came empty-handed?

00:31:00Oh, please.

00:31:02Look at these fake designer clothes.

00:31:05So, uh, my clothes are fake now?

00:31:08No shit, they are.

00:31:10Cartelier is a Parisian jewelry brand,

00:31:15and you are wearing a blatant counterfeit of their cheetah brooch,

00:31:20their most iconic item.

00:31:22If everything that you were wearing were legit,

00:31:25your outfit would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:31:28If you really had the means to afford top-of-the-line stuff,

00:31:33why would Iris leave her family and work three jobs just to support herself?

00:31:41My baby girl, you've been through so much these last few years.

00:31:47Shut up!

00:31:49Ugh!

00:31:50Don't yell at me, you shrew!

00:31:53Dorian and I get to decide where and when that baby gets born.

00:31:59Looks like the only way to get you two to shut up is to bring out my gifts.

00:32:08Eric, bring the gifts in.

00:32:14Now.

00:32:15You are still keeping up that act?

00:32:19We're here, boss.

00:32:21Did you hire a group of actors?

00:32:36Did you really think that we were gonna fall for this?

00:32:40Iris, this entire thing started just because I wanted you to save a little money.

00:32:44Are you seriously blowing it this far out of proportion?

00:32:46No, no, no, sweetie.

00:32:48Leave it.

00:32:49I'm actually dying to see what luxury gifts this 20 grand in debt broke old bum brought with him.

00:32:59Good God! I've never seen that much hard cash.

00:33:16And with this many cases, it's gotta be, what, seven or eight million?

00:33:20No way. That's at least ten mil.

00:33:23This was supposed to be your wedding gift.

00:33:26You mean this ten million dollars? If it's gonna be mine?

00:33:30Open the rest.

00:33:32These are the gifts I've prepared for Iris's baby.

00:33:43That's the pink star, the world's most expensive diamond.

00:33:47Along with Bulgari's classic emerald jewel set.

00:33:51Only the best for my grandchild.

00:33:53Holy shit, the pink star diamond.

00:33:56The jewels in that case are worth almost a hundred million.

00:34:00Those are the deeds to seven mansions.

00:34:03All worth around 70 million dollars.

00:34:06Because seven is Iris' lucky number.

00:34:09This is my grandchild's trust fund.

00:34:13Worth over 200 million in assets.

00:34:16I've also arranged for the child to have one million dollars per month until they turn 18.

00:34:28200 million dollar trust fund for a child that's not even born yet? That's crazy.

00:34:33If you two hadn't decided to abuse Iris today, all of this could have been yours.

00:34:40That's an insane amount of wealth.

00:34:42Man, that guy was so close to being the luckiest son-in-law in the world.

00:34:47And him and his mom were just calling her broke.

00:34:50They burned bridges with their super rich in-laws over a little 20 grand.

00:34:54I guess that's what the dude gets for being such a momma's.

00:34:57If his evil mom had just treated her daughter-in-law with the minimum fair decency,

00:35:03she would have all that money in her pocket right now.

00:35:05It should have been mine.

00:35:07It was all supposed to be mine.

00:35:12You didn't speak a single word in Iris' defense today.

00:35:16If you just stood up for your wife, this could have all belonged to you.

00:35:21You're supposed to be my daughter's husband, my grandchild's father.

00:35:26But you just stood there while your crazy mother tormented Iris and put the baby at risk.

00:35:34You are a goddamn coward!

00:35:39Mom, look what you've done. This is all your fault.

00:35:42Dorian, don't be rash. Think about it.

00:35:46If Iris really was filthy rich, why would she need to take out a loan?

00:35:52Why would she need to work three jobs just to pay for the wedding?

00:35:58No!

00:35:59No!

00:36:00We're getting played.

00:36:01Iris and her father are putting on an act.

00:36:09Oh! Stay back!

00:36:11Don't take one more step!

00:36:14What?

00:36:15You're gonna beat up an old lady in front of all these witnesses?

00:36:19You stole from me, okay?

00:36:22The thief doesn't get to play the victim.

00:36:26You actually had me there, old man.

00:36:30For a second.

00:36:31I actually thought that you were rich.

00:36:34But look what we have here.

00:36:36A fake Cartelier brote.

00:36:39Is it fake?

00:36:40Fake as they come.

00:36:42My best friend is Cartelier California's regional manager.

00:36:47You see, Cartelier cheetah brooches have red ruby eyes and black diamond bodies.

00:36:57But yours has white diamonds.

00:37:00It's nothing but a shoddy knockoff.

00:37:05And if this is fake, then all those other luxury gifts are fake as well.

00:37:16Wait, Mom, so you're saying the cash, jewelry, even the trust fund? They're all fake?

00:37:21Don't be silly, Dorian.

00:37:23If he really had money, why would he be wearing a fake brooch?

00:37:31That's enough.

00:37:32My best friend, Sadie, is Cartelier California's regional manager.

00:37:37I'll just give her a call.

00:37:39Tell her to come down here to prove that this is a fake.

00:37:44Sadie?

00:37:45It's me.

00:37:46I have someone here with a blatant fake Cartelier brooch.

00:37:51I need you to come down here to prove that it's a counterfeit.

00:38:03Well, the craftsmanship on this brooch is impeccable, I must say.

00:38:09However, we don't make cheetah brooches with a white diamond.

00:38:14Tessa, this is counterfeit.

00:38:18Tell me where you got it so that I can trace it back to its source.

00:38:21Where do you think?

00:38:24From Iris' wannabe rich daddy over there.

00:38:29And get this, he also showed up with several million dollars in cash, property, deeds, jewelry.

00:38:37I mean, can you believe this guy?

00:38:39Well, I'll be damned.

00:38:45I can't believe the nerve of them to try and pull a fast one on you like this.

00:38:50I can confidently say that all of this stuff you see here, everything, it's all fake.

00:38:58Fake, you say?

00:39:00Then let's double check.

00:39:09Well, must be fake to break that easily.

00:39:13Spit it out.

00:39:15Where did you get the counterfeit brooch?

00:39:30Well, ma'am, your brand custom designed it for me.

00:39:36It's worth over two million dollars.

00:39:38Now that you've destroyed my brooch, how do you plan on compensating me for it?

00:39:45Wow, Grandpa's gone off his rocker.

00:39:48You're just some broke old geezer wearing fake jewelry.

00:39:52What are you talking about, compensation?

00:39:55Let's face facts.

00:39:56I caught you wearing a knockoff of our brand.

00:40:01And parading around here with all this fake currency.

00:40:04I'm going to call headquarters to report you, and then I'm calling the police.

00:40:09Our CEO, Mr. Holland, is the richest man in the city.

00:40:13You cross him, and you're dead.

00:40:17Who's Mr. Holland again?

00:40:19Sir, Mr. Holland is the one who gifted you the brooch this morning.

00:40:23Give me a break!

00:40:25Mr. Holland is our CEO.

00:40:28He would never in a million years give you such a precious gift, you broke old geezer.

00:40:35Who do you think you are?

00:40:38The richest fucking man on earth?

00:40:42You think you can fake it until you make it?

00:40:46I am going to call headquarters to report you, and then I'm going to call the police.

00:40:51You can rot in jail for selling counterfeit goods.

00:40:56Tessa, dear?

00:40:57Please, keep an eye on them for me, will you?

00:40:59We cannot let this family of swindlers escape.

00:41:02They deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

00:41:05The $10 million cash.

00:41:13The $200 million trust fund.

00:41:17All fakes.

00:41:19The jig is up.

00:41:20You're nothing but a couple of low-class crooks.

00:41:25You know what?

00:41:26It's one thing to buy counterfeit goods, but forging currency is a federal offence.

00:41:34I just can't wait for you to waste away in prison with your looser daddy.

00:41:41Yeah, yeah, you're totally right.

00:41:54Just because you say it's fake definitely means it's fake.

00:41:59Dorian, see? This is the woman that you married.

00:42:05Nothing but a cheap scammer who teams up with her father to trick us with shoddy fakes.

00:42:14And now that the cat's out of the bag, they're not even denying it.

00:42:18So this is the real you, Iris?

00:42:21A woman who enlists her father to try and scam her own husband?

00:42:24You never loved me at all, did you?

00:42:26I bet you orchestrated this whole charade just to get your hands on my money.

00:42:32You disgust me, Iris.

00:42:34No, Dorian, you disgust me.

00:42:36God, how did I even end up with a complete fucking idiot?

00:42:40How dare you talk about my son that way?

00:42:44I can't wait until the cops show up and throw your sorry ass in jail.

00:42:50Okay, well, don't get ahead of yourself.

00:42:51When the cops get here, they're gonna ask you to compensate for the bruise that you destroyed.

00:42:56And when they do, don't come begging us for mercy.

00:43:02Iris, I believed you back then.

00:43:04I thought you left your family because you love me.

00:43:07Turns out, you're actually just a shameless fraud this whole time.

00:43:10Dorian, can you just, please, just use your frickin' brain for once.

00:43:15You do not have anything that is worth stealing in the first place.

00:43:20I was the one that covered all of our household bills and expenses.

00:43:24I was the one that covered our mortgage and our car, everything.

00:43:27Actually, you know what?

00:43:30I'm done. I am tired and I am exhausted and I really do not want to deal with you right now.

00:43:38Actually, you know what?

00:43:40Starting today, Dorian, you mean nothing to me and to my child.

00:43:47Let's go, Dad.

00:43:48Hey! Stop right there!

00:43:51You can get divorced, but this baby belongs to our family and it's not going anywhere.

00:43:58You out of your mind, let me go!

00:44:03Iris!

00:44:11Iris!

00:44:12Oh, my God!

00:44:13Oh, my God!

00:44:14Dr. Checker, please!

00:44:15Please!

00:44:16Oh, my God!

00:44:17Oh, my God!

00:44:18Oh, my God!

00:44:19Oh, my God!

00:44:24Oh, my God!

00:44:25Oh, my God!

00:44:26Oh, my God!

00:44:28Oh, my God!

00:44:37If anything happens to my daughter, you'd better believe!

00:44:43I'll send you both to hell!

00:44:46You think threats from a down-and-out scammer like you scares us?

00:44:50Plus, your daughter's the one who lost her footing.

00:44:53I swear, if that baby doesn't make it out of there alive,

00:44:58I will make sure that your daughter doesn't either.

00:45:06Iris, stay with me.

00:45:09Iris, the baby is almost here.

00:45:11I need one big push.

00:45:12Let's go.

00:45:13Why is she so quiet?

00:45:22Why can't I hear her cry?

00:45:34The baby's heartbeat has stopped.

00:45:36We need to focus on stabilizing the mother.

00:45:40No, no, baby.

00:45:42Oh, please don't leave me.

00:45:59Please, God, please save my baby.

00:46:01Mom is here.

00:46:03Come back, my baby.

00:46:05You just got my daughter sent to the ICU.

00:46:16I have no mind to kill you right now.

00:46:18Look, stay back.

00:46:21What are you going to do?

00:46:22Hit me in front of my son?

00:46:26Stay away from my mom.

00:46:28Mom, the reason the baby is fighting for its life in the ICU is because Iris was acting all crazy.

00:46:42The baby's heart has started again.

00:46:45It's a miracle.

00:46:47She's alive.

00:46:48Quick, go save the baby.

00:46:50She's okay.

00:46:51She's alive.

00:46:52She's alive.

00:46:53You heartless monster.

00:46:56Your wife and child are in the brink of death in the ICU, and instead of worrying about them, you're defending your piece of shit.

00:47:03Mom, what if the baby really dies because of this?

00:47:07Will you not have even the slightest remorse?

00:47:11I'll be happy if the baby dies.

00:47:15Did you just say?

00:47:16That baby would end up just like its mom.

00:47:20Another greedy, lying con artist.

00:47:23Better to just not have it in the first place.

00:47:35I hate to break it to you, but while you were praying for my daughter's downfall, our baby's death, God sent her back to me.

00:47:44She survived.

00:47:49And after today, you will never see her again.

00:47:54Iris, thank God.

00:47:56How are you feeling?

00:47:58I'm all right.

00:48:01She almost just made it, but she's a fighter.

00:48:06She held on.

00:48:10That baby belongs to the Bates family.

00:48:14If my son had him been working his ass off to support your pathetic, broke ass, you wouldn't have even been able to afford a basic hospital.

00:48:26Go ahead.

00:48:28Divorce my son.

00:48:30But that baby is not going anywhere with you.

00:48:35Like it or not, that thing is coming home with us.

00:48:38What are you doing?

00:48:53You almost killed my baby, and you were trying to take her from me?

00:48:58Over my dead body.

00:49:03Iris, Iris, calm down.

00:49:04Get off of her, Iris.

00:49:05You're acting like a fucking lunatic.

00:49:09My mom's right.

00:49:11You're not fit to raise my child.

00:49:12With a violent abuser for a mother, the only place this kid's going to end up is juvie.

00:49:16Iris, you can go wherever you want, but you're leaving the baby with us.

00:49:19I'll consider it compensation for surviving three years of marriage to a broke, scamming psycho like you.

00:49:24My baby is a human being.

00:49:28She is not an object for you to bargain over.

00:49:33Dorian means marrying you was the biggest mistake of my entire life, and I get it.

00:49:39I get what you're doing.

00:49:41You think because I am poor that I am easy to push over.

00:49:47You have no idea who you are messing with.

00:49:52That brooch that my father has is worth more than you could ever make in ten lifetimes.

00:50:00That brooch that my father has is worth more than you could make in ten lifetimes.

00:50:07Are you still trying to pass for some hot shot with that plastic fake brooch?

00:50:13You are nothing but a destitute, blood-sucking leech.

00:50:19Actually, it's embarrassing how shameless you are.

00:50:23If I hadn't seen through your facade, you and your fraudster father would still be bleeding my son dry as we speak.

00:50:33Don't worry, baby.

00:50:36Mommy's got it under control.

00:50:38This family makes me sick.

00:50:40They're not going anywhere with that baby.

00:50:46The only place that these cheap fuckers are going is prison.

00:50:52Stay strong, Iris.

00:50:53I can't let them have my baby.

00:50:56The only place that these cheap fuckers are going is prison.

00:51:01Eric, collect all the broken pieces of the brooch and assess the damages.

00:51:08You hopeless fools.

00:51:18The CEO of the Cartelier made this custom for the chairman of the Aster Dominion.

00:51:24It's the only one of its kind in the world.

00:51:25You know what that means, right?

00:51:27You're going to be repaying this debt for the rest of your lives.

00:51:30The Aster Dominion?

00:51:32That's the world's number one financial conglomerate.

00:51:34They're worth over 700 billion on the stock market.

00:51:37Isn't there Chairman Alagaster?

00:51:39The richest man in the world?

00:51:41Wait, and his daughter's name is Iris, too.

00:51:44That must be her.

00:51:45That's Iris Aster.

00:51:46The Aster Iris.

00:51:51Are you really part of the Aster Dominion?

00:51:53I'm not just part of it.

00:51:56My father's the chairman of the Aster Dominion, and I am his sole heir.

00:52:00And my baby will be my successor.

00:52:03I didn't tell you who I was because I gave up all of it to be with you.

00:52:10And I recently got back in contact with my father to tell him the good news about the baby.

00:52:16I was planning on telling you about my family background.

00:52:20But now I'm glad I didn't.

00:52:22Because you turned out to be a total piece of shit, Dorian.

00:52:27But you are not worthy of being my husband, let alone the father of my child.

00:52:33Oh, come on.

00:52:35The fake goods were bad enough.

00:52:37But now you're trying to impersonate the world's richest family?

00:52:42It just keeps getting better and better.

00:52:45So because your tiny little brain can't wrap around this fact, it's fake.

00:52:49So because your tiny little brain can't wrap around this fact, it's fake.

00:52:57Fine.

00:52:58Believe what you want.

00:53:00You're really full of shit.

00:53:03If you really were the world's richest heiress,

00:53:07why would you leave your fortune behind to marry my son?

00:53:12And for such an important occasion, wouldn't the hospital be swarming with gifts?

00:53:17I don't see any A-list celebrities coming here to celebrate the birth of your heir.

00:53:23All that you need to know is that my baby is coming home with me.

00:53:27And that if either of you try to do anything, I will make sure that you both rot in hell.

00:53:36Mr. Holland, you spent $8 million on this tiara to win the Sotheby's bid ten years ago.

00:53:42Are you sure you want to give it away?

00:53:44Hurry. I need to get the Pulteward Sierra from the vault.

00:53:48I need it delivered to Miss Astor ASAP.

00:53:50You're giving that away?

00:53:52If we pull this off, we could have a partnership with the Astor Dominion.

00:53:57We're talking billions, Jessica. Billions!

00:54:00You've still got a lot to learn, Jessica.

00:54:02There's this Irish Astor we're talking about.

00:54:04The heiress to the Astor Dominion.

00:54:07I only found out yesterday she was giving birth.

00:54:09All that matters is that we get this gift delivered to her on time.

00:54:17Sir?

00:54:19Someone's claiming to have found a counterfeit cheetah brooch.

00:54:22I hate it when people bother me with this petty crap.

00:54:25This is what I have a team of lawyers for.

00:54:27Step on it!

00:54:27I need to be the first one to deliver Miss Astor a baby gift!

00:54:30No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:54:33You're just a filthy skank.

00:54:36You're not even fit to shine my shoes.

00:54:39And you think you can make me burn in hell?

00:54:42Oh, no.

00:54:43Enough of your bullshit!

00:54:45I'm going to teach you a lesson now!

00:54:48You've got some nerve trying to mess with the Bates family.

00:55:18But guess what?

00:55:20It's not going to work.

00:55:23Come on, Dawn.

00:55:24Come on, Dorian.

00:55:25Come on down.

00:55:27Rip up this fake Monopoly money.

00:55:30Show them what happens when you mess with the Bates family.

00:55:34Dorian, I will give you one final warning.

00:55:40Don't join your mother's temper tantrum.

00:55:42If you do, I promise it will be the end of you.

00:55:49Bullshit.

00:55:50Your empty threats don't scare us.

00:55:54Don't let that bitch deceive you.

00:55:57You don't tear up the cash right now.

00:56:01She's just going to keep scamming me.

00:56:02Come on.

00:56:06Listen to Mommy.

00:56:08Tear it up.

00:56:09Rip it up.

00:56:10Come on.

00:56:11Do it.

00:56:13Rip it up.

00:56:17Come on!

00:56:18Rip it up!

00:56:20Dorian, wake up.

00:56:22If you don't, your mom's going to be the death of you.

00:56:25Shut the fuck up.

00:56:26My mom's the only person who's ever loved me for me.

00:56:29She'd never do anything to hurt me.

00:56:30You're just trying to turn me against her.

00:56:38That's what happens when you fuck with the Bates family.

00:56:43Remember, Iris, you brought this on yourself.

00:56:46I just wanted you to save a little money,

00:56:47but you and your dad had to orchestrate this crazy plan to try and scam me?

00:56:51Now you're living with the consequences.

00:56:53Exactly.

00:56:54My son is an absolute catch.

00:56:58A real 10 out of 10.

00:57:00And what do you do?

00:57:01You try to scam him with all those fake goods?

00:57:04You should have been grateful to have a husband like Dorian.

00:57:09I've had enough of your games, Iris.

00:57:11Let's get divorced.

00:57:14Hear that?

00:57:15He wants out.

00:57:17Divorce him and get the hell away from the Bates family.

00:57:21As you wish.

00:57:22But it's the defendants in this case.

00:57:24Are you prepared to be brought in jail for the rest of your lives?

00:57:30Are you prepared to be brought in jail for the rest of your lives?

00:57:34Defendants?

00:57:35What are you talking about?

00:57:36Defendants?

00:57:37What the hell kind of scheme are you cooking up now?

00:57:39I'm suing the both of you for defamation, for destruction of personal property, and for attempted murder.

00:57:46You're suing us.

00:57:48Your scammer dad is trying to distribute counterfeit goods?

00:57:53And we should be suing you.

00:57:55Iris, we were married for three years.

00:57:58We have a child.

00:57:59Do you really want to drag me to court?

00:58:00You really have the nerve to talk about our child when you sat there while your mother abused me and almost let the baby die.

00:58:08Don't try to push the blame onto my mom.

00:58:10Yeah, she might have a unique way of showing her love for me, but at least she loves me.

00:58:14You're the one who started all this.

00:58:15You insulted her first.

00:58:17Forget it.

00:58:18I'm not going to waste my breath on a vile woman like you.

00:58:22We're getting divorced.

00:58:23Now.

00:58:24Now.

00:58:24I've been waiting for this day to come.

00:58:31Sign an Instagram.

00:58:32I don't ever want to see you again.

00:58:36You know, you really are as dumb as it gets.

00:58:39Did you even think about the consequences that you would face if these gifts were real?

00:58:48Did you even think about the consequences that you would face if these gifts were real?

00:58:54That's impossible.

00:58:56It's impossible that they're not fake.

00:58:59Playtime's over, bitch.

00:59:01Dorian already told you to beat it.

00:59:03Now quit stalling and sign the damn divorce papers.

00:59:07The Bates family wants nothing to do with you.

00:59:09I will sign the papers.

00:59:11But you have to give me back what's mine.

00:59:14Give you back what's yours?

00:59:16We have nothing of yours.

00:59:17And not to mention that you've been on unpaid maternity leave for the past two weeks.

00:59:24And Dorian has been covering everything.

00:59:28I already told you.

00:59:30Your money and your baby belong to the Bates family.

00:59:35So if you want to leave, you leave with nothing.

00:59:43So, Dorian, you already know what your wonderful mother thinks of me.

00:59:48What about you?

00:59:49I'm with her.

00:59:50She's only ever done what's best for me.

00:59:51What's best for you is ruining your chance of becoming a billionaire and turning you into a bank-ropped criminal.

01:00:01Shut up, you old fraud.

01:00:04I was tired of you like two hours ago.

01:00:07And you don't even think about trying to get a penny out of Dorian.

01:00:13Iris, you married me with nothing.

01:00:15Now you're leaving with nothing.

01:00:16Isn't that exactly how it should be?

01:00:18Stop painting yourself as a victim.

01:00:19Three years ago, I gave you an emerald ring.

01:00:23I want it back.

01:00:24Nothing else.

01:00:26An emerald ring?

01:00:30Iris, you gave him that ring?

01:00:33It's the only thing your mother left behind when she passed.

01:00:37You wasted three years of love on this asshole.

01:00:44But after today, I know you'll never let that happen again.

01:00:48You've grown up, Iris.

01:00:50Why does the emerald on this ring look so fake?

01:00:57Just give it back to me, and I will sign the divorce papers.

01:01:00We will have a clean break.

01:01:02Fine.

01:01:03Whatever.

01:01:03Wait!

01:01:05You gave this ring to my son, which makes it Bates' family property.

01:01:10There's no way we're giving it back to you.

01:01:12Please, Dorian, this is my only request.

01:01:15If you give me back the ring, they'll not only sign the divorce papers, I will pay off the mortgage and the car.

01:01:22Please.

01:01:23This is the last thing my mother left.

01:01:27What are you doing?

01:01:29What do you think I'm doing?

01:01:30This is my son's ring, so I will do whatever the hell I want to with it.

01:01:39No!

01:01:44No!

01:01:45Oh, look at you!

01:01:49Going so crazy over this dumb ring.

01:01:52Isn't it just a cheap glass ring?

01:01:55I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it.

01:01:58Only a broke, ignorant skank like you would turn this piece of trash into a rare kind of treasure.

01:02:07I said just give it back!

01:02:09Well, look at you!

01:02:11With all this going crazy, you'd think it was the real deal.

01:02:15I said give it back.

01:02:18Stay back.

01:02:19Take one more step, and I will smash it to the ground.

01:02:27And I will smash it to the ground.

01:02:31Dorian, I have done so much for you.

01:02:34I paid for the mortgage, and I supported you with your business.

01:02:38When have I ever done you wrong?

01:02:40What more can you ask?

01:02:41Quit the whining.

01:02:45You sound like nails on a chalkboard.

01:02:47It's just like a stupid old ring, all right?

01:02:51It is not a stupid old ring.

01:02:53It is an Aster family heirloom.

01:02:55And it is the last thing that my mother left me.

01:02:58And it is...

01:02:59And it is absolutely priceless.

01:03:03Fine.

01:03:04Mom, just give it back.

01:03:05It says a lot about the type of person she is, that she's willing to go this far over some trashy ring.

01:03:10Get the ring!

01:03:11And be careful with it!

01:03:12Give something to the Bates family, and you're not getting it back.

01:03:27I swear to God, you're pure evil.

01:03:38All you've been doing since the second you got here is abuse and humiliate Iris.

01:03:43And you, hopeless, cowardly, shit-for-brain's mama's boy.

01:03:52I bet your mommy still wipes her ass every time you go potty.

01:03:57Now look what you've done.

01:03:59You've destroyed her mother's Ellie or Lou.

01:04:02You're monsters in human form.

01:04:04You're absolutely disgusting filth.

01:04:09You shut the fuck up.

01:04:12One more word out of you, and I'm going to make you get on all fours, lick my shoes, and beg for forgiveness.

01:04:18Did you just hit me?

01:04:22Nobody hits me.

01:04:26You want to go, Grandpa?

01:04:29Let's go.

01:04:30Hands off my mom, Iris.

01:04:32Oh, baby!

01:04:35You are a scumbag!

01:04:37You destroyed the only thing that my mother gave me.

01:04:39And I swear on her name that I will make you both pay!

01:04:45I am calling a cross.

01:04:48You two are getting locked up.

01:05:02Mr. Astor.

01:05:09Mr. Astor.

01:05:11It's an honor.

01:05:12I'm Byron Holland, CEO of Cartel Year.

01:05:15I sent over the cheetah brooch earlier this morning.

01:05:17Appreciate it.

01:05:18That's the CEO of Cartel Year.

01:05:21I've seen him on all magazine covers before.

01:05:25Wow, he's treating that girl small with such respect.

01:05:27Who is he?

01:05:28If I had to guess, he's the chairman of the Astor Dominion.

01:05:32The richest man on the planet.

01:05:33Oh my god, that tiara is shining.

01:05:36Mr. Astor, I heard your daughter had a gay birth today.

01:05:39I prepared a small gift to celebrate.

01:05:42Oh, thank you.

01:05:43That's very nice.

01:05:44But really, there's no meaning.

01:05:46Oh no.

01:05:46He just turned down Mr. Holland in front of everyone?

01:05:49Mom, that tiara doesn't look fake to me.

01:05:52What if Iris and her dad are actually the real deal?

01:05:54No, that's impossible.

01:05:57There's no way a bottom feeder like her would be the world's richest heiress.

01:06:01Think about it, Dorian.

01:06:04Why would a rich heiress leave everything behind and work three jobs just to marry a regular guy like you?

01:06:11That tiara must be a fake.

01:06:13Don't fall for it, Dorian.

01:06:15What kind of nonsense is that?

01:06:18What kind of nonsense is that?

01:06:22And a CEO, please.

01:06:25More like a deadbeat actor they hired off the street.

01:06:29Mom, you really think they're faking it?

01:06:31Yes.

01:06:32Of course they are, Dorian.

01:06:35Look, you're lucky that you're divorcing her.

01:06:37Not only did she show up with all those knockoff goods, she brought in a group of cheap actors to back her up.

01:06:46Are you kidding me?

01:06:47This is the Baltimore tiara.

01:06:49I dropped eight million at Sotheby's on it, and I have a certificate to prove it.

01:06:53Oh, yeah.

01:06:55And how do we know the certificate's not fake?

01:06:58I mean, if you can forge currency and impersonate the CEO of Cartelier, faking a paper's nothing.

01:07:07You're insane.

01:07:08Everything you say is nonsense.

01:07:10I'm insane?

01:07:12You're the one pissing me off.

01:07:15I'm going to fuck you up.

01:07:19You crazy old bitch.

01:07:30I'm going to kill you.

01:07:31Dorian, baby, did you see what they did here, mommy?

01:07:36Your ex-wife hired those gangsters to kill me.

01:07:41I'm going to call the cops.

01:07:43I'm going to get you all arrested.

01:07:45Go find the best show you can.

01:07:47We need to get that tiara fixed now.

01:07:49Y-yes, sir.

01:07:52They can't be repaired?

01:07:54I'm going to make you regret it.

01:07:58You can't just hit her like that.

01:08:02That's assault.

01:08:03You people are the real criminals.

01:08:04Here we go again.

01:08:06You're just like your mom.

01:08:07Always pointing fingers, never owning up to anything.

01:08:11Nothing but dead weight.

01:08:14Your mom just trashed someone else's property,

01:08:17and you're calling him the criminal for standing up for himself.

01:08:21Mr. Holland, what brings you here?

01:08:24You know her?

01:08:26Uh, no, no, of course not.

01:08:28You may not remember me, but I'm Sadie Smith,

01:08:31regional manager for Cartelier's California branch.

01:08:34In fact, that whole cheetah brooch scandal,

01:08:36I was the one that called it into headquarters.

01:08:39I couldn't have known it was going to cause such a fuss,

01:08:41much less bring you here in person.

01:08:44Cheetah brooch you talk about.

01:08:45Where is it?

01:08:47Let me take a look.

01:08:49Where is it?

01:08:51Let me take a look.

01:08:52Yes, absolutely.

01:08:53Uh, you.

01:08:54You there with the fake brooch.

01:08:56Show it to Mr. Holland immediately.

01:08:58Oh, that fake brooch.

01:09:02Mr. Holland gave it to me himself.

01:09:04Why did you ask him if it's real or not?

01:09:07Mr. Holland, the CEO of Cartelier.

01:09:10Tessa, everything you see is fake.

01:09:16Why don't we double check?

01:09:18It must have been fake for it to break so easily.

01:09:23Seriously?

01:09:24You're going to keep making stuff up

01:09:26when the CEO is standing right here in front of you?

01:09:29Sir, please don't take it personally

01:09:31that men like him can't afford the real thing,

01:09:34so they masquerade in fakes.

01:09:35Frankly, I think it damages our image.

01:09:37I have a friend who's a journalist at CBS.

01:09:41If you'd like, I could put in a call to her

01:09:43so that she can bring this whole scandal

01:09:44to the news media.

01:09:46You want to take this to the media?

01:09:50You want to bring the media in on this?

01:09:52Of course.

01:09:53I think it would be best to protect our image.

01:09:55Or it will ruin the company.

01:09:56Fucking idiots!

01:09:58Mr. Holland!

01:09:59Why would you do that?

01:10:01I was just trying to protect the company.

01:10:03Because you deserve this.

01:10:04Mr. Holland!

01:10:08You arrogant asshole!

01:10:11Who the fuck do you think you are

01:10:13hitting my friend like that?

01:10:15Do you even know who she is?

01:10:17This is Sadie Smith,

01:10:19regional manager of Cartelier, California.

01:10:25She's your friend?

01:10:29She's your friend?

01:10:30No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:10:35Babe, you got back me up on this.

01:10:38Oh, what?

01:10:39All I did was crush that cheap-ass tiara

01:10:42to prove that it was fake.

01:10:44And now everyone's lashing out at me.

01:10:46The hippie!

01:10:47Call the cops!

01:10:48I want everything documented.

01:10:50I'm suing all of them!

01:10:52You smashed the tiara?

01:10:54Yes!

01:10:54You idiot!

01:10:56This is our CEO of Cartelier,

01:10:59Mr. Holland.

01:11:01Apologize to him right now!

01:11:03He's Mr. Holland.

01:11:06I just slapped the CEO of Cartelier.

01:11:10I just slapped the CEO of Cartelier.

01:11:14You didn't just hit me.

01:11:16You destroyed the gift I brought from this virus.

01:11:20It's not just any tiara.

01:11:22It's Baltimore tiara.

01:11:23A cultural relic.

01:11:25I paid millions for

01:11:27and some of these.

01:11:28The highest bids.

01:11:30Something you would never afford,

01:11:32even if you sold everything you own.

01:11:34If you're the CEO of Cartelier,

01:11:37and you brought a present

01:11:39for Iris Astor?

01:11:42No way.

01:11:44You morons.

01:11:46You two still don't understand.

01:11:47That man that you mocked

01:11:50for wearing a fake brooch

01:11:52is Alec Astor,

01:11:54chairman of the Astor Dominion,

01:11:57the richest man on Earth,

01:11:59with a net worth of over $700 billion.

01:12:04And this is Miss Iris Astor,

01:12:07his only daughter,

01:12:09sole heir to his entire empire.

01:12:12Mr. Astor,

01:12:13you're the world's richest man.

01:12:14That means I could have been

01:12:16son-in-law

01:12:16of the wealthiest man in the world.

01:12:18I would have this whole fortune.

01:12:20It could be mine.

01:12:23So this bitch really is

01:12:25the world's richest heirs?

01:12:28Damn it.

01:12:29If this keeps going,

01:12:31I'll lose Dorian

01:12:32and everything I've got.

01:12:35Dorian,

01:12:35don't listen to her.

01:12:37Iris lied to you for years

01:12:39about who she really was.

01:12:40She's a manipulative bitch.

01:12:42Even if you two stay married,

01:12:44do you think she'd even give you a cent?

01:12:47Say one more word about my daughter

01:12:50and I'll rip your tongue out!

01:12:51But did she...

01:12:52Iris,

01:12:56what do you want to do about this?

01:12:58These two have done enough

01:12:59to lose everything they've ever owned

01:13:02and spend the rest of their lives in prison.

01:13:04I promise.

01:13:14I promise.

01:13:15Please.

01:13:16We're family, right?

01:13:17Yes.

01:13:19I promise.

01:13:20Dorian and I didn't really mean to hurt you.

01:13:23We didn't actually know who you were.

01:13:25After three years together,

01:13:27you think you could find it in your heart

01:13:29to just let this go?

01:13:30How dare you kid-trip

01:13:34a disaster.

01:13:37Didn't you say that you hated me?

01:13:39That you never wanted to see me, I guess?

01:13:44Iris.

01:13:44Iris, baby.

01:13:45Iris.

01:13:46This is all my fault.

01:13:48I know I messed up and I'm sorry.

01:13:49Really.

01:13:51You used to love me.

01:13:52Doesn't that still mean anything?

01:13:53Are you really gonna let me go to jail?

01:13:55Or put our daughter?

01:13:57She needs to see her dad.

01:13:58I swear.

01:13:59I will never listen to another word my mom says.

01:14:03From now on, I will only listen to you.

01:14:05You almost got our baby killed

01:14:07because you couldn't stand up to your own mother.

01:14:09And you have the nerve to ask that of me?

01:14:12You're a bastard, Dorian.

01:14:16We're done.

01:14:19Marrying you

01:14:20was the worst mistake that I ever made

01:14:23in my entire life.

01:14:24You know, your stupidity cost you

01:14:34every single cent you could have got

01:14:35from the Astor fortune.

01:14:37Dad, we'll let the lawyers and the cops

01:14:39handle the rest of this.

01:14:41I want every single cent

01:14:42reimbursed from the tiara.

01:14:44As for Dorian,

01:14:46I won't be pressing charges

01:14:47for the child's sake.

01:14:49But he will be spending the rest of his life

01:14:50paying back the debt that he owes.

01:14:53As for Tessa,

01:14:54if she can't pay back the money that she owes,

01:14:57that she will spend the rest of her life

01:14:59rotting in jail.

01:15:01What she deserves for trying to kill my child.

01:15:03Please, Iris.

01:15:07Officers, we'll let you take it from here.

01:15:09No, no, no.

01:15:10No.

01:15:11No.

01:15:12No.

01:15:12No, don't take me.

01:15:14No.

01:15:17Iris, congrats on making it out of hell.

01:15:23Let's go home.

01:15:26Thank you all for coming.

01:15:27I've called this meeting to share some good news.

01:15:30As of today, Iris Aster,

01:15:33rightful heir to the Aster Dominion,

01:15:36has officially returned.

01:15:48Thank you all for the warm welcome.

01:15:50Starting today,

01:15:51I will be stepping in as the new CEO

01:15:53for the Aster Dominion.

01:15:54So,

01:15:56shall we start our first meeting?

01:16:00These fucking assholes.

01:16:11Don't they know I was the son-in-law

01:16:12of the world's richest man?

01:16:15Yesterday,

01:16:16Iris Aster,

01:16:17the newly appointed CEO

01:16:18of the Aster Dominion,

01:16:20celebrated her daughter's first birthday,

01:16:22renting out the entire Four Seasons

01:16:24in Beverly Hills.

01:16:25Cameras spotted Miss Aster

01:16:27and fully head-to-toe designer

01:16:28with her baby Ivy in her arms.

01:16:30The young heiress is set to inherit

01:16:32one of the world's largest private fortunes.

01:16:35Wait.

01:16:36Why didn't I think of this sooner?

01:16:39You're worse or not,

01:16:40I'm still Ivy's dad.

01:16:41Okay.

01:16:51Hello.

01:16:51Some of you may have heard of Iris Aster,

01:16:54the new CEO of the Aster Dominion.

01:16:57I'm her ex-husband.

01:17:01Miss Aster,

01:17:05you need to see this.

01:17:06What?

01:17:07It's her ex-husband,

01:17:08live,

01:17:09spreading rumors about you.

01:17:11We're married

01:17:11for three years.

01:17:14But in the end,

01:17:15she and her billionaire father,

01:17:17Alec Aster,

01:17:18kicked me out

01:17:19just because I wasn't rich enough.

01:17:21And the worst part is,

01:17:22they've taken our daughter,

01:17:25Ivy.

01:17:25This is outrageous.

01:17:27I cut Dorian some slack

01:17:28because he's Ivy's father

01:17:29and this is how he repaid me?

01:17:31By slandering me online?

01:17:33It's spreading fast.

01:17:34Miss Aster,

01:17:35people are calling for a boycott.

01:17:36And now our company's stock

01:17:37just dropped by 8%.

01:17:39I never thought it'd end up like this.

01:17:50Iris and her father,

01:17:53they've used their power

01:17:54to ruin my life.

01:17:55They took my daughter away

01:17:56before I even got the altar.

01:17:58And now they're forcing me to pay

01:18:01hundreds of millions in debt

01:18:03I can't afford.

01:18:05They even had my mom

01:18:06thrown in prison.

01:18:08I'm not doing this

01:18:08to hurt anybody.

01:18:09I just want to see

01:18:10my little girl again.

01:18:11I don't have any power.

01:18:13I don't have money.

01:18:15All I can do

01:18:15is speak the truth

01:18:17and hope somebody

01:18:18out there hears me.

01:18:20Please,

01:18:21help me get my daughter back.

01:18:24Miss Aster,

01:18:25the boards are furious.

01:18:26They're demanding you

01:18:27to fix this immediately.

01:18:33What the hell do you want?

01:18:36What the hell do you want?

01:18:38Come on, Iris.

01:18:39We were married for three years.

01:18:41Don't act like I'm some stranger now.

01:18:43I know you still care.

01:18:44I just, uh,

01:18:45I don't want Ivy

01:18:46growing up without her dad.

01:18:47All right?

01:18:47I promise.

01:18:48This time,

01:18:49I'll do whatever you say.

01:18:50I won't listen to anyone else.

01:18:52Dorian,

01:18:52I cut you some slack

01:18:53and this is how you were paid me?

01:18:54This isn't a threat, Iris.

01:18:55I'm doing this

01:18:56because I love you.

01:18:57If you're willing to take me back,

01:18:59marry me again,

01:19:00then I'll take the videos down.

01:19:01Shut down all the rumors.

01:19:02I swear

01:19:03your stock

01:19:04won't drop another cent.

01:19:05Wow.

01:19:07You know,

01:19:07you just burned

01:19:08the last bit of mercy

01:19:09that I had left for you.

01:19:11Fine.

01:19:12I will see you in court.

01:19:14I'm gonna make sure

01:19:15the entire world

01:19:16knows exactly

01:19:16who you are.

01:19:20Ungrateful bitch.

01:19:21I'm still Ivy's

01:19:22biological father.

01:19:25You had your chance, Iris.

01:19:28Now,

01:19:28I'm gonna destroy you.

01:19:32Eric,

01:19:33I need you to go get a lawyer.

01:19:34I'm gonna be suing Dorian

01:19:35for defamation

01:19:36and for federal security's loss.

01:19:37Miss Astor,

01:19:39you will win in court,

01:19:40no doubt.

01:19:41The damage to your reputation,

01:19:42I don't think it can be undone.

01:19:45Wait,

01:19:46what if we take him

01:19:47on one of those

01:19:47reality courtroom shows?

01:19:49We lay it all out there

01:19:50for the whole country to see.

01:19:52We'll set the record straight.

01:19:53I like that idea.

01:19:55And if we're gonna do this,

01:19:55we're gonna make sure

01:19:56we do it

01:19:56so the whole world

01:19:57sees exactly who he is.

01:19:59And we are not gonna hold back.

01:20:08Plaintiff Dorian Bates,

01:20:09you are suing Iris Astor

01:20:11for deprivation of custody

01:20:13of your daughter, Ivy Astor.

01:20:14You want to modify

01:20:15the custody agreement.

01:20:16Is that correct, sir?

01:20:18Yes, Your Honor.

01:20:19She took my daughter away

01:20:21on the basis

01:20:21of having a wealthier family.

01:20:23And now,

01:20:23she's forcing me to pay back

01:20:24a hundred million dollars in debt.

01:20:26Order in the court.

01:20:32This is not a talk show.

01:20:34Defendant,

01:20:35do you have any evidence

01:20:36to counter his claims?

01:20:37Thank you, Your Honor.

01:20:40Mr. Bates is lying.

01:20:42I have here the divorce agreement

01:20:43that he forced me to sign

01:20:44the day that I gave birth.

01:20:46He left me in Ivy.

01:20:48I believe that a father

01:20:49who files for divorce

01:20:50the same day

01:20:51that their daughter

01:20:52enters this world

01:20:53does not deserve any custody.

01:20:54I believe that a father

01:20:57who files for divorce

01:20:58the same day

01:20:59that their daughter

01:21:00enters this world

01:21:01does not deserve any custody.

01:21:03Only because she lied

01:21:04to me first,

01:21:05Your Honor.

01:21:06She hid her real identity

01:21:07and pretended to be

01:21:08from a poor family.

01:21:09If I'd known she was

01:21:10the heiress

01:21:10to the wealthiest family

01:21:11in the world,

01:21:12I never would have left.

01:21:13Sir is saying

01:21:14it's perfectly fine

01:21:15to divorce your wife

01:21:16if she's poor.

01:21:18No, no, no.

01:21:19Your Honor,

01:21:19that's not what I'm saying.

01:21:21As for the debt,

01:21:22Miss Astor,

01:21:23can you provide any evidence

01:21:24in your defense?

01:21:25Yes, Your Honor.

01:21:27My father brought gifts

01:21:28for my daughter

01:21:29the day that I gave birth

01:21:31to her worth

01:21:31over $100 million.

01:21:32As you can see here,

01:21:35my ex-husband

01:21:36and his mother.

01:21:37They destroyed

01:21:38absolutely everything.

01:21:40Show them what it means

01:21:41to fuck with the Bates family.

01:21:45I simply want compensation

01:21:46in a fair and legal man.

01:21:48Wow.

01:21:48This guy's shameless.

01:21:50He asked for a divorce

01:21:51the day his wife gave birth,

01:21:53trashed all his daughter's gifts,

01:21:54and now he has the audacity

01:21:56to blame her

01:21:56for causing all this mess?

01:21:58The way they treated her,

01:21:59it's a miracle

01:21:59she didn't lose the baby.

01:22:01Honestly,

01:22:01the Astor heiress

01:22:02is smart not to let him

01:22:03have custody.

01:22:04He's not a father,

01:22:05he's a selfish leech

01:22:06who only cares about money.

01:22:10He's not a father,

01:22:11he's a selfish leech

01:22:13who only cares about money.

01:22:14What the hell

01:22:15do you two know?

01:22:16This is clearly all her fault.

01:22:18If she told me

01:22:18her real identity earlier,

01:22:19none of this would have happened.

01:22:21I tried to tell you

01:22:21at the hospital,

01:22:22but you didn't listen,

01:22:23and suddenly this is my fault now?

01:22:25I...

01:22:25You're...

01:22:26Warner?

01:22:28Mr. Bates,

01:22:29I've heard more than enough

01:22:30to back the defendant's claims.

01:22:32If all you've got

01:22:33are excuses and attitude,

01:22:35I'm ready to make my ruling.

01:22:36Your Honor, please,

01:22:37I'm still Ivy's biological father.

01:22:39Doesn't her opinion matter?

01:22:40Just trust her.

01:22:41We'll see.

01:22:41She loves me more than anyone.

01:22:44There we go.

01:22:46Biological dad or not,

01:22:55she's scared out of her mind.

01:22:57That guy's just a money-hungry leech.

01:23:11You're okay, sweetheart.

01:23:12Looks like the future heiress's

01:23:14favorite person

01:23:14is still her mommy.

01:23:17I'm in favor of giving

01:23:18full custody to the mother.

01:23:19A man who uses his own daughter

01:23:21as a pawn for money

01:23:23shouldn't even be a father.

01:23:25I support Miss Astor.

01:23:27We support Miss Astor.

01:23:30We support Miss Astor.

01:23:32We support Miss Astor.

01:23:34Order.

01:23:35I'll now announce the verdict.

01:23:38Full custody will go to...

01:23:40full custody will go to the defendant,

01:23:51Miss Iris Astor.

01:23:52What?

01:23:53No.

01:23:54This is rigged.

01:23:55She paid you all off.

01:23:56I want an appeal.

01:23:57Either give me my daughter

01:23:58or pay me alimony.

01:24:02Bayless!

01:24:04Hey, hey, stop.

01:24:05Iris!

01:24:06You still haven't paid me any alimony

01:24:08since we got divorced.

01:24:09That's illegal.

01:24:10Did you forget, Dorian?

01:24:11You were the one that forced me

01:24:12to sign the divorce papers.

01:24:14You clearly stated

01:24:14that you wanted nothing to do

01:24:16with my assets

01:24:17or my debt.

01:24:18No.

01:24:19Any fortune you pushed away

01:24:20is on you.

01:24:21No, that can't be.

01:24:22It can't be like this.

01:24:26I'm refiling for divorce.

01:24:28You can file for whatever you want,

01:24:29Dorian,

01:24:30but I recommend getting a lawyer.

01:24:32I'm suing you

01:24:33for defamation

01:24:34and for violating

01:24:35federal security's loss.

01:24:36Thanks to you,

01:24:37the Astro Dominion

01:24:38has lost over $10 billion

01:24:39in market value,

01:24:41which you will pay off

01:24:42in prison.

01:24:42Iris,

01:24:43my baby,

01:24:44please,

01:24:44don't do this.

01:24:46It would be heartless

01:24:46to let our daughter

01:24:47grow up without her father.

01:24:48A greedy,

01:24:49selfish father

01:24:51would ruin

01:24:53our daughter.

01:24:54She'd be better off

01:24:55with one.

01:24:56Right, Dorian?

01:24:57That baby would end up

01:24:58just like its mom.

01:25:00Another greedy,

01:25:01lying con artist.

01:25:02Better to just not have it

01:25:03in the first place.

01:25:10Everything's going to be

01:25:11different now, Ivy.

01:25:13Mommy got us

01:25:14a brand new start.
