Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Take it easy. Mr. Harrington, you should slow down.
00:00:21I worked as his assistant for a year, all because I couldn't stop falling for him.
00:00:25I knew his heart still belonged to another woman, but I kept hoping that maybe, someday, he'd finally turn around and see me.
00:00:36Mr. Harrington, I'll go draw you a bath.
00:00:48You...
00:00:49I might now.
00:00:54I'll take care of you.
00:00:55I thought my dream had finally come true, until my daughter was born.
00:01:14That's when I realized, no matter how hard you try, you can never thaw a heart made of ice.
00:01:21It's been seven years, and I'm still haunted by that night.
00:01:28Every mistake I've made, it's all started with that dream.
00:01:34Mommy, did you have a bad dream?
00:01:36No, no, sweetheart. I'm fine.
00:01:38Are we really moving out?
00:01:40But, daddy hugged me tonight. Does that mean he's starting to like me?
00:01:47Sweetheart, your daddy's true love is coming back, so we can't stay here anymore.
00:01:52But, he gave me the stuffed bunny tonight. If he didn't like me, why would he buy me a gift?
00:02:00Should I tell her Richard's only happy because his one true love is coming back from abroad?
00:02:05Or, her gift came from another woman's shadow.
00:02:13Daddy, you're home!
00:02:15Is she too dumb to understand my words, or is he you?
00:02:18How many times must I say this?
00:02:20She is never to call me dad!
00:02:23I'm sorry, Uncle Richard.
00:02:31You don't have to like me, but Amy is your daughter. How could you hurt her like this?
00:02:36You're the one who climbed into my bed, and used your pregnancy to trap me into a marriage.
00:02:43Is that your idea of not hurting your daughter?
00:02:47I've already explained it a thousand times. It only happened that night because you were-
00:02:52Enough!
00:02:53I don't want to hear it anymore.
00:02:54I saw my mom.
00:02:56Mommy, Uncle Richard.
00:02:59Please stop fighting.
00:03:03Who told you you could have this?
00:03:06Tell your daughter to keep her hands off of things that don't belong to her.
00:03:11So that's it.
00:03:12The gift was meant for his true love's daughter all along.
00:03:16Is Amy really that worthless in his eyes?
00:03:20Talk to me, Amy.
00:03:23Amy, what if we leave Uncle Richard together?
00:03:28Will you come with Mommy?
00:03:30He'll be stay.
00:03:32He'll save them and be calling Dad once.
00:03:35He doesn't want us here.
00:03:37Mommy can take you away.
00:03:39Can we give Uncle Richard three more chances?
00:03:43If he really doesn't like us, we'll leave him.
00:03:45We're good.
00:03:47We're good.
00:03:50Okay.
00:03:55Richard Arrington, my daughter and I are giving you three more chances.
00:04:00After that, you'll have no place in our home.
00:04:03Ever.
00:04:03Zoe, are you really quitting the job?
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:13Um, Amy's father is abroad, so I'm taking her to go join him.
00:04:19I know it must have been tough raising Amy alone.
00:04:21Zoe, did you see that?
00:04:32Mr. Harrington, our Iceberg CEO, is bringing someone with him for the first time ever.
00:04:38Evelyn York, she really is stunning.
00:04:48No wonder Richard's never gotten over her all these years.
00:04:51Even when he was drunk, he was still calling her name in my bed.
00:04:56Who's that girl?
00:04:58She looks really close to Mr. Harrington.
00:05:00Could she be the future Mrs. Harrington?
00:05:03Everyone, I'd like to make an announcement.
00:05:07Miss Evelyn York here will be joining us at the company
00:05:09and taking the position as my new personal assistant.
00:05:12Zoe, what are you going to do if she takes your place as his assistant?
00:05:16I'm leaving soon anyways.
00:05:18It's the perfect timing for her to show up.
00:05:20I can't believe the Harrington Corp would just parachute someone in like that.
00:05:26Not just someone.
00:05:28She's that one.
00:05:28Wait, Mason, Zoe, Mr. Harrington's personal assistant?
00:05:34And now Evelyn's here, so what does that mean for Zoe?
00:05:38Will she lose her job?
00:05:39I've been here for years, and this is the first time I've ever seen them drop someone in like this.
00:05:44Everyone else started from the bottom and worked their way up.
00:05:47Don't you guys think she looks kind of familiar?
00:05:49Haven't we seen her somewhere before?
00:05:52Wait, isn't she Mr. Harrington's first love?
00:05:55I heard they almost got married once, but she suddenly vanished,
00:06:01and Mr. Harrington's been drowning himself in booze over her ever since.
00:06:07Hi, everyone.
00:06:09I'm so excited to be joining the company and becoming part of the Harrington family.
00:06:15I'd really appreciate your guidance as I get settled in.
00:06:20What?
00:06:22Zoe worked herself to the bone bringing in all those big clients to become the CEO's personal assistant.
00:06:28Exactly.
00:06:29Everyone can see how skilled Zoe is, and yet suddenly someone comes along and steals her position.
00:06:35It's so unfair.
00:06:36I feel so bad for Zoe.
00:06:38Come on.
00:06:39You're near here.
00:06:40Let me show you around.
00:06:41Richard, you've got so much work to do.
00:06:44I don't want to be a burden.
00:06:46Ben, maybe Zoe could show me around?
00:06:56Actually, I've got a lot on my plate right now.
00:07:00Then forget it.
00:07:03Never mind.
00:07:04No, no.
00:07:05Show her around.
00:07:07It won't take too much of your time.
00:07:13Fine.
00:07:16This is the conference room.
00:07:20I've shown you everything you need to see.
00:07:24You get it now, don't you, Zoe?
00:07:27No matter how hard you work, in Richard's heart, I'm the one that matters the most.
00:07:35What?
00:07:37Can't handle the truth?
00:07:38Well, he's just using you for pleasure.
00:07:45One call for me, and he flies overseas just to see me.
00:07:49Then I wish you two a lifetime of happiness.
00:07:52For as long as you both shall live.
00:07:54You're saying one thing and doing another.
00:08:00You think I don't see right through you, you two-faced slut.
00:08:07How else do you think you got pregnant?
00:08:09I almost feel sorry for your daughter.
00:08:13She's Richard's blood, and yet he treats my daughter like she's his own.
00:08:20Do you know why that is?
00:08:21Well, if you're so confident, then why don't you convince Richard to make you his wife?
00:08:28Unless, of course, you're hiding something.
00:08:32What are you so afraid of?
00:08:33What am I afraid of?
00:08:36The one who should be afraid is you.
00:08:46Zoe!
00:08:46Are you okay?
00:09:03I'm fine, Richard.
00:09:10Apologize.
00:09:11I can't believe it took me this long to see how blind you really are.
00:09:18Richard, don't be angry.
00:09:20She didn't mean it.
00:09:21Please, for my sake.
00:09:24The surveillance cameras are on.
00:09:26Why don't you check them before accusing me?
00:09:32Two chances left.
00:09:36Richard, I'm okay.
00:09:38Zoe's probably upset because I took her spot.
00:09:44It was just a slap.
00:09:46Don't start any drama over me.
00:09:48I can't just let this slide.
00:09:50She's already hit you once.
00:09:51Who knows what she'll do next time?
00:09:54I need to teach you a lesson.
00:09:57I'm tired of these little charades.
00:10:00I'm leaving.
00:10:01Excuse me.
00:10:03Zoe!
00:10:04If you walk out those doors, you'll be demoted to a junior assistant.
00:10:11Do whatever you want.
00:10:18Zoe's acting so differently.
00:10:20What's going on with him?
00:10:21What?
00:10:34Is Zoe quitting?
00:10:35Maya, why didn't you tell me Zoe was resigning?
00:10:45Zoe told me not to let Mr. Harrington find out.
00:10:48How did he know?
00:10:50Mr. Harrington, there must be some mistake.
00:10:55Zoe, resign.
00:10:57That's impossible.
00:10:58That's right.
00:11:00She'd never leave me.
00:11:02She loves me too much.
00:11:03Richard, please, don't be so hard on Zoe.
00:11:11Will you come to my place tonight?
00:11:14I want to be with you.
00:11:17Whatever you want.
00:11:17You're so good to me.
00:11:22Spending the night at another woman's place while we're still married?
00:11:26Fine.
00:11:27Soon you'll be free to spend every night with her.
00:11:39Mom!
00:11:40Hey!
00:11:42Mom, tomorrow is our open house.
00:11:45Can Daddy come?
00:11:45Seven years of marriage and not once has you come to Amy's school.
00:11:51Why would tomorrow be any different?
00:11:58Amy, I- I-
00:11:59Mom, all my classmates say I don't even have a dad.
00:12:03Let Daddy come just once.
00:12:05Please?
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08I'll text him.
00:12:12Amy's school has open house tomorrow.
00:12:14Any chance you could come?
00:12:15Mom, is Daddy too busy to come?
00:12:22I don't know, babe.
00:12:24Sorry.
00:12:25I get it.
00:12:25It's okay.
00:12:27Daddy's busy.
00:12:28I understand.
00:12:30Amy.
00:12:31Okay, I'll come.
00:12:35Amy, look.
00:12:36Daddy says I'll come.
00:12:37Yay!
00:12:38Daddy's finally coming to my school for me.
00:12:40Mommy, my teacher said I did really well at school this year, and I get to be class president
00:12:45this semester.
00:12:46Daddy knew.
00:12:47Maybe he'd start liking me, right?
00:12:50Please.
00:12:51Just don't break Amy's heart this time.
00:12:59Mom, Daddy's really here.
00:13:04He really came.
00:13:06Let's go over to Daddy.
00:13:07Daddy.
00:13:12What did you just call me?
00:13:18What did you just call me?
00:13:20Uncle Richard, you're sitting at the wrong desk.
00:13:24Mine's up front.
00:13:25It's the first time Dad actually kept his promise.
00:13:27I feel so happy.
00:13:29This is my seat.
00:13:33Out of the way!
00:13:35This is my dad.
00:13:37So that's it.
00:13:39He came, but not for Amy.
00:13:41He came for Evelyn's daughter.
00:13:44Oh, Lily didn't mean it.
00:13:46I'm sorry.
00:13:48Zoe, you're going to the open house too, right?
00:13:52So, where's her dad?
00:13:54My dad's overseas.
00:13:59It's busy.
00:14:00I didn't want to bother him.
00:14:02Uncle Richard, Mom and I are leaving now.
00:14:05Excuse us.
00:14:08Usually, Amy clings to me no matter what.
00:14:11But today she's pulling away on her own.
00:14:13What's gotten in there?
00:14:20Mom, first you brought that woman to the company and took your spot.
00:14:25And now, he shows up at school for some other kid.
00:14:28Dad only has one more can left.
00:14:30What did I do to deserve this?
00:14:34Why does my daughter have to suffer?
00:14:36And there's nothing I can do to stop it.
00:14:39Welcome, parents.
00:14:40And thank you all for being here today.
00:14:43I'm sure you want to know how your kids are doing, so let's dive right in.
00:14:49Amy, I heard you're doing really well in school, right?
00:14:53Quiet, please.
00:14:54I am thrilled to say that all of our pupils have been studying super hard this semester.
00:15:02However, there is one student who has gone above and beyond, and that is Amy Harrington.
00:15:09Congratulations, Amy.
00:15:12You have been elected as class president.
00:15:20Why did you get to be class president?
00:15:27Amy, would you like to come up here and say something to everyone?
00:15:31I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:15:36I don't really know what to say.
00:15:39Oh, Amy, you just need a little more confidence, but no worries.
00:15:44Let's carry on.
00:15:49Amy, don't worry.
00:15:51Mommy will always be with you.
00:15:54Don't be sad.
00:15:54Hey, what took you so long to get out today?
00:16:03You want to go home together today?
00:16:09By the way, Evelyn's daughter, Lily, she's a transfer student, right?
00:16:14So she never got the chance to run for class president.
00:16:19Amy, do you think maybe you could ask the teacher if she could have the title instead?
00:16:24Of course.
00:16:28Every gift comes with a price.
00:16:30Even this lollipop doesn't come for free.
00:16:36Okay, Uncle Richard.
00:16:37Mom.
00:16:47Richard, help!
00:16:48Lily is sick.
00:16:50Can you come pick us up?
00:16:53Dad!
00:16:54Stay safe.
00:17:07This time, he didn't tell our daughter to call him Uncle.
00:17:11But this would be the last time she'd ever call him Dad.
00:17:15Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.
00:17:34Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.
00:17:37Mom, let's get ready to board the plane.
00:17:43Okay, let's go.
00:17:47I wish you happiness.
00:17:49Again, if you are going to Chicago Midway on top of flight 882 for delaying departure at 725, that flight will be departing now to gate number 15, gate number 15.
00:17:59Maya?
00:18:09Zoe, please, you've got to help me.
00:18:13What?
00:18:13What's going on?
00:18:14You remember the project with Mr. Lawrence?
00:18:16We're in the final stages, but now he's heard you're leaving and refuses to sign.
00:18:22If Mr. Harrington finds out about this, I'm finished.
00:18:25Fired.
00:18:26Please.
00:18:27I'm begging you.
00:18:29It's not fair to let someone else take the fall for the mess I left behind.
00:18:34Okay.
00:18:35I'll be back right away.
00:18:36Thank you, Zoe.
00:18:38Thank you so much.
00:18:44Amy, Mommy just has one last thing she has to take care of, okay?
00:18:49We'll leave by tomorrow, I promise.
00:18:52Okay.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:53Once I wrap things up with Mr. Lawrence and seal the deal, I can finally leave for good.
00:19:09Evelyn?
00:19:11This is my seat.
00:19:13Please move.
00:19:23This desk is closest to Richard.
00:19:26I'm his personal assistant now, so naturally, it belongs to me.
00:19:30Sorry.
00:19:31If you want this seat so badly, you can ask Richard for it.
00:19:35But for now, it's mine.
00:19:38Hate to break it to you, Zoe, but Richard already gave me this spot.
00:19:43He said a junior assistant like you doesn't deserve to sit here.
00:19:49See?
00:19:51Your things are moved over there.
00:19:53You must be boiling with jealousy, aren't you?
00:20:04Look at you.
00:20:06Pathetic.
00:20:07Clinging to your ego, pretending you don't care.
00:20:10Tell me, how did it feel when Richard took my daughter to the open house?
00:20:15That must have broken your heart, didn't it?
00:20:18Drop the act.
00:20:24One tear for me, and Richard gives me whatever I want.
00:20:28Even your daughter's little president title.
00:20:31He handed that over to my Lily without a second thought.
00:20:35So, how did it feel that Richard made your daughter hand over her title to mine?
00:20:42Do you think Richard will still fawn over you once he sees your true colors?
00:20:50Or do you think he'll be disgusted?
00:20:52Like, like he swallowed a fly?
00:20:54You bitch.
00:20:56I'm just saying this to put you in your place.
00:21:00Get the hell out of here with your little brat and never show your face to Richard again.
00:21:06Or I'll make you wish you were never even born.
00:21:09Got it?
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:13Yeah, I get it.
00:21:15And since you're so fond of leftovers, you can have mine.
00:21:18Keep him.
00:21:19You.
00:21:22Don't think I don't see right through you.
00:21:25You're still hoping Richard cares.
00:21:27Dream on.
00:21:28What do you have that compares to me?
00:21:31I don't give a damn.
00:21:32But here's a warning.
00:21:34What goes around comes around.
00:21:35And one day you might get thrown out like trash.
00:21:38What's going on here?
00:21:50Evelyn.
00:21:53Richard, what are you doing here?
00:21:57When are you going to stop taking on Evelyn?
00:22:03Richard, you're mistaken about Zoe.
00:22:06We were just playing a little game.
00:22:09I just saw what happened.
00:22:11You're far too kind.
00:22:13Always making excuses back.
00:22:15I don't want you two fighting over me.
00:22:18It's all my fault.
00:22:19Maybe I should have just never started working here in the first place.
00:22:24Stop blaming yourself for other people's mistakes.
00:22:28Zoe, do you have something to say?
00:22:30Nothing.
00:22:32Just that you're blind.
00:22:35How dare you talk to me like that?
00:22:37Have I been too kind that you've forgotten your place?
00:22:40Not to mention the audacity of you to hang up on me this morning.
00:22:43Is that how a personal assistant does her job?
00:22:45If it weren't for Evelyn, I would have, cleaning up your mess, I would have lost billions.
00:22:49From now on, you're demoted.
00:22:50Back to being an entry-level employee.
00:22:52So, he probably didn't see my message.
00:23:00He must have been busy at work this morning.
00:23:02Richard, Zoe's really good at her job.
00:23:05How can you demote her over something so trivial?
00:23:08Show her mercy and let her stay?
00:23:11No matter how good she is at her job, it won't make up for her vile character.
00:23:15But, still, if Zoe gets demoted, I can't help but feel guilty.
00:23:23Don't.
00:23:24If it weren't for you, I would have never seen how truly evil she is.
00:23:29But, still.
00:23:30Evelyn, you're always putting everybody else first.
00:23:33Try thinking of yourself at once.
00:23:39What are you waiting for?
00:23:41Apologize to her.
00:23:42Now!
00:23:45Don't you ever get tired of this little act?
00:23:50I know I'm sick of it.
00:23:52Zoe, I know you're angry.
00:23:55Go ahead.
00:23:56Take it out on me.
00:23:58I won't blame you.
00:24:00As long as I'm here, you don't have to bow to me.
00:24:03But, she's Zoe.
00:24:06Your assistant.
00:24:08Even if she hits me or curses at me, I won't say a word.
00:24:13Richard, Richard, let's pretend this never happened.
00:24:17Show her mercy and let her stay.
00:24:23I already showed her mercy when I allowed her to keep her job.
00:24:29Spare me.
00:24:30I quit.
00:24:31She can take my place.
00:24:35Zoe, you've been here so long.
00:24:38How can you just up and leave like that?
00:24:40If you're really mad at me, go ahead and hit me.
00:24:44She wouldn't dare.
00:24:51She actually hit me?
00:24:53Zoe, are you crazy?
00:24:55How dare you hit her in front of me?
00:24:56Those two slaps are for my daughter.
00:25:05You crushed her pride at the open house.
00:25:08Even forcing her to give up her class president title to your daughter.
00:25:13You brought this on yourself.
00:25:18Zoe!
00:25:18Zoe!
00:25:24Zoe!
00:25:25And that slap?
00:25:26That was for myself.
00:25:28You knew he was a married man and you still went after him.
00:25:32Nothing disgusts me more than a homewrecker.
00:25:34Like you.
00:25:37How can you say that about me?
00:25:39Well, because it's true.
00:25:40You know better than anyone that he was married.
00:25:42And you still invited him over to your place.
00:25:46And you let him sneak into your bed at night.
00:25:47Evelyn, do you not know what shame is?
00:25:50It's not true.
00:25:52Richard and I, there's nothing between us.
00:25:55Zoe, I know you hate me.
00:25:57Fine.
00:25:58I'll leave.
00:25:59From now on...
00:26:00I just dropped the act!
00:26:02Okay?
00:26:04If you want my leftovers so badly,
00:26:07take them.
00:26:09Be my guest.
00:26:11Just take the trash and keep it.
00:26:14Trash?
00:26:16What trash?
00:26:18Richard, I think there's a misunderstanding between me and Zoe.
00:26:22She barged in out of nowhere,
00:26:25called me a homewrecker,
00:26:26and then...
00:26:28Believe it or not,
00:26:30she said I could keep the trash.
00:26:33And by that she meant...
00:26:35She meant you.
00:26:36Zoe, have I been far too easy on you?
00:26:38Yeah, that's exactly what I thought.
00:26:43That I've been way too easy on you these last seven years.
00:26:55Seven years.
00:26:57Seven wasted years.
00:27:00Richard, running deals,
00:27:01breaking my back for your company,
00:27:03and for what?
00:27:04Zoe,
00:27:05hit me if you want,
00:27:07but please don't hurt Richard.
00:27:09What, do you think landing a few big deals makes you untouchable?
00:27:12That it gives you the right to act this cocky
00:27:15and be that disrespectful?
00:27:16Richard, please.
00:27:18It's my fault she ended up this way.
00:27:20Don't be angry with her.
00:27:22People like her only learn their lessons
00:27:24when you put them in their place.
00:27:28You two make me sick.
00:27:33Those two slaps were totally worth it.
00:27:36Finally, I've pushed you out.
00:27:39Zoe, always so high and mighty.
00:27:42Turns out,
00:27:43you ran straight into a brick wall.
00:27:46Serves you right.
00:27:52Call the project team.
00:27:55Zoe has to go over every point of data by herself.
00:27:59And if she doesn't finish by tonight,
00:28:01then she's out of the company.
00:28:03Mr. Harrington,
00:28:04this project's way too complex,
00:28:07and the database is massive.
00:28:09There's no way Zoe can finish it all tonight.
00:28:12Then make her work through the entire night.
00:28:14She's been slacking off enough as it is already.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:16It's getting late.
00:28:28Zoe's probably still buried in work,
00:28:30learning her lesson.
00:28:35Mr. Harrington?
00:28:37Your coffee, sir?
00:28:40Is Zoe still working?
00:28:42She learned her lesson.
00:28:43Well, actually,
00:28:45she didn't come back here after this afternoon.
00:28:48What did you just say?
00:28:49She didn't return.
00:28:52Do you want me to go look for her?
00:28:56Don't bother.
00:28:59Zoe, playing games with me, huh?
00:29:01Fine.
00:29:02Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:29:08Ready, Amy?
00:29:10Let's go.
00:29:11I'm ready, Mom.
00:29:12From now on,
00:29:13things are going to get better for us.
00:29:14Right?
00:29:16I promise.
00:29:25Go.
00:29:26I'll just be your son.
00:29:30It doesn't matter as good as you know.
00:29:34I'll just be your son.
00:29:35I'll just be your son.
00:29:37I'll just be your son.
00:29:38I'll just be your son.
00:29:40I'll just be your son.
00:29:41Call Zoe.
00:29:50Tell her to bring me in a cup of coffee.
00:29:55But Zoe hasn't shown up for work today either.
00:30:02Zoe's getting bolder every day.
00:30:04I have to show her who's the boss.
00:30:06Richard?
00:30:09Come in.
00:30:12Your coffee, exactly the way you like it.
00:30:16Why are you the one bringing me in?
00:30:21Why are you the one bringing it to me?
00:30:25Richard, what's wrong?
00:30:27I'm your personal assistant now.
00:30:29Of course, I'm the one bringing you coffee.
00:30:31Just put it down and leave.
00:30:38Richard, we found this amazing new restaurant.
00:30:42Tonight we should take Lily and check it out together.
00:30:45I'm busy.
00:30:45But Lily's really excited to get dinner with us.
00:30:52Richard.
00:30:54Richard, are you feeling well?
00:30:56Should we go to the hospital?
00:31:02Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.
00:31:06Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.
00:31:10I wish you happiness.
00:31:20Richard, what's the matter?
00:31:22Trouble at work?
00:31:26Zoe!
00:31:27What's that supposed to mean?
00:31:29Are you out of your mind?
00:31:30Who do you think you are, saying something like that?
00:31:42Your call is being transferred.
00:31:44Please leave your message after the town.
00:31:47But now, Zoe's been gone for just one day and he's already losing it.
00:31:57Your call is being transferred.
00:31:58Richard, don't do that.
00:32:00I'm scared.
00:32:01Mind your own business.
00:32:04I'm leaving.
00:32:07Zoe, I can't have a single moment of peace while you're still alive.
00:32:18Damn it!
00:32:24I know that you're just jealous, Zoe.
00:32:27But throwing a temper tantrum?
00:32:30Fine.
00:32:34Fine.
00:32:35Fine.
00:32:38I'll make it up to you.
00:32:45I need you to pick up a cake and flowers for me now.
00:32:48Zoe.
00:32:58Zoe!
00:32:59I'm home.
00:33:01I'm home.
00:33:04Are you happy now?
00:33:05Enough playing games, Zoe
00:33:14Come down here now
00:33:15Or I'm done playing nice
00:33:17Zoe
00:33:26Zoe
00:33:28My patience is wearing thin
00:33:31She really isn't going back
00:34:01I've hardly ever been there for Amy
00:34:28Let alone playing with her
00:34:31Bye
00:34:45Bye
00:34:47I'll give you ten minutes.
00:35:16Call me back or we're getting a divorce
00:35:19So, he still hasn't realized Amy and I have already left the country
00:35:36Well, well, well
00:35:41You said we
00:35:43Thought you had some backbone
00:35:45But here you are
00:35:47Crawling back to me already
00:35:49So, if you can't even keep up the act, stop pretending
00:35:58First you ran off with Amy, now you're calling me back
00:36:01Pathetic
00:36:02Richard, it's me
00:36:05Why are you calling so late?
00:36:12What's wrong?
00:36:13I had a nightmare
00:36:15I'm scared, could you come keep me company?
00:36:19If you're scared, go find your daughter
00:36:21Let Evelyn keep you company
00:36:23But, Lily's too young
00:36:26I just, I want you here
00:36:28Please?
00:36:30I'm busy, find somebody else
00:36:31You're the only one I know
00:36:33Fine
00:36:35Zoe, you're the one who's pushing me away
00:36:37You brought this on yourself
00:36:38All right
00:36:42I'm coming
00:36:44I'll be waiting
00:36:46Zoe
00:36:54Let's see how you compete with me
00:36:58Hey, kiddo
00:37:11You tired?
00:37:12You want to take a nap?
00:37:14No, not yet
00:37:15Yeah, me neither
00:37:16How about
00:37:19We get a little sweet treat before dinner
00:37:21Great
00:37:22Okay
00:37:23Zoe
00:37:28What's that supposed to mean?
00:37:30Are you out of your mind?
00:37:32Who do you think you are saying something like that?
00:37:35Zoe, I'll give you ten minutes
00:37:36Call me back or we're getting a divorce
00:37:38Ignoring my texts won't do you any good
00:37:42Richard's coming over to see me now
00:37:46Jealous much?
00:37:51If I were you
00:37:52I'd disappear for good
00:37:54Instead of playing hard to get
00:37:55Just to make him chase you
00:37:57I'm his first and only love
00:37:59As long as I'm here
00:38:01You don't stand a chance
00:38:02So just give it up
00:38:04Okay, so what are we ordering?
00:38:15Can we get brownies?
00:38:17Yes, of course we can get brownies
00:38:18Okay, which one do you want?
00:38:19I have to keep making a frosty bit of silly
00:38:36I'll pronounce this love
00:38:37I'm so over this
00:38:40Dad!
00:38:47Stay safe
00:38:48So
00:38:55Zoe's upset just because I left her and Amy behind that day for Evelyn's daughter
00:39:00Evelyn told me Lily was sick
00:39:03So I rushed over to check
00:39:05Turns out she was just hungry and whining for fried chicken
00:39:07Easy
00:39:08Lily
00:39:09Take it slow
00:39:11Richard
00:39:13I'm sorry
00:39:15You were meant to go home with Zoe and Amy
00:39:18And here you are with me and Lily
00:39:20Don't worry
00:39:21I'll apologize to her tomorrow
00:39:24No need
00:39:24I'm happy to help
00:39:26Richard
00:39:26You're my lifesaver
00:39:29If I took Amy out for fried chicken
00:39:32Even just once
00:39:33She'd be over the moon
00:39:36Richard
00:39:41Come in
00:39:45Come in
00:39:46Zoe's got a way better figure than her
00:39:54And yet she'd never wear something so revealing
00:39:57The clients are all here
00:40:02Shareholders too
00:40:03Let's go to the meeting
00:40:05Let's go
00:40:09Oh no
00:40:12The client files
00:40:13My daughter took them yesterday
00:40:15She did scribble all over them
00:40:17Did she?
00:40:20No, it's fine
00:40:21I'm pretty sure I put those files away
00:40:24Hopefully before she got her hands on them
00:40:26What's wrong?
00:40:29Uh, nothing
00:40:31I just
00:40:32Didn't get any sleep last night
00:40:34Well
00:40:35Make sure you try to get to bed early tonight
00:40:37I will
00:40:38Richard
00:40:44Long time no see
00:40:46Mr. Anderson
00:40:47Pleasure's always
00:40:48Please
00:40:49I'm really looking forward to our collaboration
00:40:55The whole industry is singing the phrases of the formidable Richard Harrington
00:41:00Young
00:41:01Accomplished
00:41:02And razor sharp
00:41:03Who's this?
00:41:05Isn't Zoe supposed to be here?
00:41:07Don't tell me you found someone even better than her
00:41:10She's on, um
00:41:12Other tasks
00:41:14At the moment
00:41:14I see
00:41:15Over the years
00:41:16Zoe's always been top notch
00:41:18If she weren't your assistant
00:41:20I'd have snatched her up myself
00:41:21Mr. Anderson
00:41:23If you don't mind
00:41:24Let's cut to the chase
00:41:25Let's sign the contract
00:41:28Of course
00:41:28Richard
00:41:35Richard
00:41:35What the hell is this?
00:41:43Lily actually scribbled
00:41:45All over the contract
00:41:46I'm so dead
00:41:48I should have checked
00:41:49Before handing it to Richard
00:41:51Who drew this up?
00:41:54Do you have
00:41:56Any idea what you've just done?
00:41:58Get me Zoe now
00:41:59Zoe, she
00:42:00Mr. Harrington
00:42:02If this is how your company does business
00:42:04Then I don't see any reason to continue with this deal
00:42:06I trusted Hamilton so much
00:42:11And this is how she repays me?
00:42:14I'm sorry, Richard
00:42:15Who are you to barge in here like this?
00:42:18I'm speaking to Mr. Harrington right now
00:42:20Mr. Anderson
00:42:21This is entirely my fault
00:42:22I'll have a revised contract drawn up for you right away
00:42:24And to show how sorry we are
00:42:26I'd like to offer you an additional 3% discount
00:42:28Looks
00:42:29Are just a bonus
00:42:30In an assistant
00:42:32What counts
00:42:33Is competence
00:42:34I see you've really outdone yourself
00:42:38With this extraordinary assistant
00:42:41Mr. Harrington
00:42:42I see you've really outdone yourself
00:42:49With this extraordinary assistant
00:42:52Mr. Harrington
00:42:53I don't get it
00:42:54What was Mr. Harrington thinking?
00:42:56Letting go of Assistant Zoe
00:42:57Just to keep the useless eye candy around?
00:43:00It's absurd
00:43:01Everyone knows Zoe was the one
00:43:03That kept this place running
00:43:04Mr. Harrington
00:43:07I never expected you to humiliate me like this
00:43:11There's no reason for us to continue this partnership
00:43:14Mr. Anderson
00:43:16This is all just one big
00:43:17Misunderstanding
00:43:19Misunderstanding?
00:43:21Come on
00:43:21This just shows you were never serious about working with me
00:43:24You didn't have to tarnish my name just to reject a deal
00:43:27Drawing a picture over my name of a pig
00:43:32Just to insult me?
00:43:33Is this how you treat your partners?
00:43:35We will never work together again
00:43:37What are we going to do now?
00:43:41Mr. Anderson is our biggest client
00:43:43If we lose this partnership
00:43:44We will lose billions
00:43:45Richard
00:43:48I'm sorry
00:43:49I had no idea something like this could happen
00:43:51What do I do?
00:43:52Zoe would never look at me like that
00:44:02She's proud
00:44:03Relentless
00:44:04Always pushing for perfection
00:44:05No matter how tough the job
00:44:07She's never faltered
00:44:08I'm like Evelyn
00:44:10All tears and no backbone
00:44:13Waiting for me to clean up her mess
00:44:15If Zoe were here today
00:44:17None of this would have happened
00:44:18She's sharp
00:44:20Capable
00:44:21And Amy
00:44:22She's a good kid
00:44:23She'd never mess up my documents
00:44:25Bring me Zoe
00:44:26Where the hell is Zoe?
00:44:29Richard, please
00:44:30Just
00:44:30Leave
00:44:33And from now on
00:44:35Stay out
00:44:36Of company business
00:44:37Richard, help me
00:44:38Get out
00:44:38Get ready for dinner tonight
00:44:50You and me
00:44:51And make sure to bring it
00:44:52I'm going off to our show
00:44:59Zoe
00:45:03Let's take Amy out for fried chicken tonight
00:45:08Just the three of us
00:45:09Richard
00:45:30Richard, you need to sign these
00:45:34Just put them down and leave
00:45:36Please
00:45:40Don't be upset
00:45:41What happened today
00:45:42Is entirely my fault
00:45:44I'll make sure Lily behaves next time
00:45:46I promise
00:45:47No more trouble
00:45:48Call me Mr. Harrington
00:45:50During work hours
00:45:50I know I put you in
00:45:52As my personal assistant
00:45:53But there still needs to be boundaries
00:45:54Boundaries
00:45:56Everyone knows
00:45:59I was his first
00:46:00And only true love
00:46:01He completely doted on me
00:46:03Even after he married Zoe
00:46:05It was never out in the open
00:46:07And now
00:46:08He's talking about boundaries
00:46:09Richard
00:46:14Don't you like me anymore?
00:46:17Why are you acting like this now?
00:46:21Evelyn's still in here
00:46:22She's not ready to be my personal assistant
00:46:25Have her transferred to another department
00:46:28Once she finally passes probation
00:46:31Bring her back
00:46:32Richard
00:46:36I know I messed up
00:46:39I swear I won't let it happen again
00:46:43Please
00:46:43Don't do this to me
00:46:46This is a business
00:46:49Not a playground
00:46:51If you can't handle the job
00:46:52You'll be demoted
00:46:53Zoe never once failed
00:46:55She definitely didn't cry in front of me either
00:46:57Fine
00:46:59I understand
00:47:02Zoe
00:47:07Why do you have to make my life
00:47:10A living hell
00:47:10Even when you're gone?
00:47:12Looks like I have to take you out
00:47:14No matter what
00:47:34Number 59
00:47:37Thank you
00:47:42I didn't even know what Amy liked
00:47:44So I just
00:47:45Grabbed a little bit of everything
00:47:46Figured this way
00:47:48I can see which one she prefers
00:47:49Amy
00:48:01I brought you some fried chicken, honey
00:48:03Come down and try it
00:48:04These are Amy's drawings
00:48:20Of her and Zoe
00:48:21There isn't a single one of me in it
00:48:24Uncle Richard
00:48:38Will you be my model?
00:48:40I don't have time for this
00:48:42Zoe
00:49:00Where did you take Amy?
00:49:03Amy
00:49:03I thought leaving Richard would break me
00:49:11That I'd be drowning in heartbreak
00:49:13But the truth is
00:49:14The moment I finally walked away
00:49:16Not wasting my life waiting for someone who never loved me to come home
00:49:21I felt lighter than ever
00:49:23Like I could finally breathe
00:49:25No more dragging myself out of bed in the early morning to make him breakfast
00:49:36No more choking down his cold cutting words
00:49:39Turns out
00:49:41Life without Richard feels pretty damn good
00:49:45Good day
00:49:46You look at that
00:49:46Goodé
00:49:46Good job, high five
00:49:58Come in here
00:50:07Come here
00:50:09Mom, we should have left Uncle Richard sooner.
00:50:19Richard never let Amy go to places like this.
00:50:22Said amusement parks were a waste of time.
00:50:25But now, I just want her to have fun.
00:50:29I'm going to give her back every bit of happiness he took away.
00:50:33Is it good?
00:50:34Yeah, really good.
00:50:35Cheers.
00:50:36Woo!
00:50:39Woo!
00:51:09Mr. Herrington!
00:51:23Bad news.
00:51:24What is it?
00:51:25Spit it out.
00:51:26The project Zoe's been handling?
00:51:28The client pulled out.
00:51:30They're canceling the deal.
00:51:31The whole thing's stuck.
00:51:33Then go find Zoe and have her handle it.
00:51:35Don't bother me with this.
00:51:37But, Mr. Herrington, call Zoe and bring her in and have her fix it.
00:51:43Let's see what excuse you'll find if you don't.
00:51:48Forget it.
00:51:49Call Zoe and have her come directly to my office.
00:51:52I want her to handle this personally.
00:51:55But, Mr. Herrington, Zoe's already resigned.
00:52:00We haven't been able to reach her since.
00:52:06Resigned?
00:52:07Who approved this?
00:52:08And why wasn't I informed?
00:52:11She...
00:52:12She said her husband works abroad.
00:52:15She's taken her daughter Amy to go join him.
00:52:17She put in her resignation.
00:52:19Why was I kept in the dark about something this important?
00:52:22Because you already demoted her to an entry-level position.
00:52:26By company policy,
00:52:28entry-level employees don't need your approval to resign.
00:52:31That's why no one informs you.
00:52:32Mr. Herrington, wait!
00:52:34What should we do now?
00:52:39Excuse me, sir.
00:52:41School's out.
00:52:42The kids have left already.
00:52:44Um, may I ask who you are?
00:52:47I'm here for Amy.
00:52:48Has she been coming to classes recently?
00:52:50Oh!
00:52:51Now I remember.
00:52:52You're Amy's dad.
00:52:54The one who walked right past his own wife and child
00:52:57and then went on to pretend he was someone else's father
00:53:00at Open House.
00:53:02Fuck, Amy, she's...
00:53:03Amy is one of the kindest and brightest kids I have ever taught.
00:53:09Everyone adores her.
00:53:10But, um...
00:53:12Since Open House, rumors have been spreading like wildfire.
00:53:16And Amy's been suffering.
00:53:18A lot.
00:53:19What rumors?
00:53:20Look, that's all nonsense.
00:53:22I have nothing to do with Lily's mother.
00:53:25Lily is not my daughter.
00:53:26Why are you telling me this now?
00:53:29Amy's already withdrawn from school.
00:53:31And left with her mother.
00:53:33When?
00:53:34The day after Open House.
00:53:36Maybe I've been too harsh on them.
00:53:39Daddy, you're home!
00:53:41Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?
00:53:44How many times must I say this?
00:53:46She is never to call me Dad!
00:53:49I'm sorry I'm going to drive to you.
00:53:53You don't have to like me.
00:53:55But Amy is your daughter.
00:53:56How could you hurt her like this?
00:53:59Look, if you really want to help your wife and kid,
00:54:02go find them.
00:54:02Here's their new address.
00:54:18So what do you want Mommy to make you for dinner tonight?
00:54:21Pasta.
00:54:22Ooh, good idea.
00:54:23I love pasta.
00:54:25Finally I found you.
00:54:27Zoe, we need to talk.
00:54:28Uncle Richard.
00:54:32He came after me?
00:54:34This is crazy.
00:54:36Come inside.
00:54:37I don't want to make a scene out here.
00:54:45So, you ran off with Amy
00:54:47and skipped the country just to get my attention.
00:54:51Now you have it.
00:54:52You happy?
00:54:54Can we go home now?
00:54:56Home?
00:54:57This?
00:54:58Is my home.
00:55:00Now please leave.
00:55:02Richard.
00:55:03Richard, stop it.
00:55:05Don't you get it?
00:55:06Amy and I are done with you.
00:55:08And we never want to see you again.
00:55:10Quit the ass.
00:55:11Alright?
00:55:11We've been together for seven years.
00:55:14So I'll cut you some slack.
00:55:16Come home now.
00:55:18And I'll pretend none of this ever happened.
00:55:23Zoe!
00:55:24Are you out of your mind?
00:55:25My mind's never been clear.
00:55:27I am done wasting my life on a cocky jerk like you.
00:55:32Let's get a divorce.
00:55:34Divorce?
00:55:37We're never getting a divorce.
00:55:39Not now.
00:55:40Not ever.
00:55:41Why not?
00:55:42Isn't Evelyn the one that you've always loved?
00:55:45Divorce me.
00:55:46And you can finally beat with her.
00:55:48And live out the fantasy you've been chasing.
00:55:50Alright, enough.
00:55:51Alright.
00:55:52I get that you're jealous.
00:55:54Come home with me.
00:55:56And I promise I'll never see her again.
00:56:04Here.
00:56:05Divorce papers.
00:56:07Already signed.
00:56:26What the hell are you doing?
00:56:27I don't care what you signed.
00:56:30We're not getting a divorce, Zoe.
00:56:33And you're never going to leave me.
00:56:36Not now.
00:56:37Not ever.
00:56:39So.
00:56:40So.
00:56:41So now you can't let me go?
00:56:44What?
00:56:45Are you in love with me?
00:56:47Shut up.
00:56:47Oh.
00:56:49God.
00:56:50Roger.
00:56:52You really are in love with me.
00:56:57So it's true then.
00:57:00You do have feelings for me.
00:57:06Don't touch me.
00:57:08You make me sick.
00:57:09Are you crazy?
00:57:11I thought you were...
00:57:12That I was madly in love with you.
00:57:14Damn right I was.
00:57:19I gave you everything.
00:57:22But I'm not your pet.
00:57:25Richard.
00:57:26You took my love and you trampled all over it.
00:57:30And what?
00:57:31You think after everything that you've done,
00:57:34that just saying I love you would ever pull me back.
00:57:37And what makes you think that after everything you've done,
00:57:43I'm done with you.
00:57:45And I'm never going back.
00:57:54If you won't come back for me,
00:57:56then what about for our daughter?
00:57:59You really think that she's going to want to call you father after all of this?
00:58:06That doesn't matter.
00:58:08You're never going to have custody of her.
00:58:12If you leave now,
00:58:14you'll never see her again.
00:58:17Didn't really think that there now, did you?
00:58:19You disgust me!
00:58:26You don't even care about her!
00:58:28And now you want to think about taking her away from me?
00:58:33Of course I care.
00:58:35She's my daughter too.
00:58:37And I will get the best lawyer
00:58:39in the entire world
00:58:42to make sure that you can never
00:58:44run off with her again.
00:58:47You bastard!
00:58:48Come on with me, Zoe.
00:58:55I'll treat you right.
00:58:57We can be a family again.
00:58:59I promise I'll treat you right.
00:59:01Come on now, Zoe.
00:59:04You don't want your daughter to grow up
00:59:05without a mother in her, do you?
00:59:07Do you?
00:59:09Please don't touch my mom, Uncle Richard.
00:59:14What if you just call me Amy?
00:59:16Amy, Amy, I'm your dad.
00:59:20Mom, don't worry about me.
00:59:23Don't come back with Uncle Richard.
00:59:25I can take care of myself.
00:59:27I can't take care of myself.
00:59:41Fine.
00:59:43I'll come back with you.
00:59:45That's about it.
00:59:46This time,
00:59:47I'll make it right.
00:59:49I promise.
00:59:58Amy,
00:59:58no matter what happens,
01:00:01I'll always be here for you.
01:00:03It's been two weeks since I came back.
01:00:22He hasn't called Evelyn once,
01:00:24and he even fired her.
01:00:26Honey.
01:00:33I'm home.
01:00:35Is it for you?
01:00:38It's too late, Richard.
01:00:40Stop wasting your time.
01:00:41Don't like these?
01:00:50Fine.
01:00:52What about these?
01:00:55Not to your taste either.
01:00:57Well,
01:00:58just tell me what you like,
01:01:00and I'll have my assistant go and pick them up.
01:01:02What I want
01:01:03is to stay as far away from you as possible.
01:01:06Didn't I tell you to stop calling me?
01:01:26Richard,
01:01:27Evelyn tried to commit suicide.
01:01:29She cut her wrist because you won't come to see her.
01:01:32Come over to the hospital.
01:01:34Please.
01:01:36All right.
01:01:37I'm coming.
01:01:42Zoe,
01:01:42you bitch.
01:01:45I should have finished you off when I had the chance.
01:01:51But it doesn't matter now.
01:01:53Richard's coming.
01:01:56At the end of the day,
01:01:58it's me he loves the most.
01:02:02Richard,
01:02:03you're here.
01:02:04I'm sorry.
01:02:09I didn't mean to take my own life.
01:02:12I just,
01:02:13I missed you
01:02:14so much.
01:02:18Thank God you came.
01:02:20I knew.
01:02:21I knew you still cared.
01:02:22Look,
01:02:22I'm here to give you one final warning.
01:02:25Either you stop pestering me,
01:02:27or I'll have you sent over sex.
01:02:30Richard,
01:02:31you used to love me so much,
01:02:33remember?

01:02:41not a venomous snake,
01:02:43like you are now.
01:02:44What are you trying to say?
01:02:52Pathetic tricks.
01:02:54Time and time again.
01:02:57First you framed Zoe,
01:02:58now you're faking a suicide
01:03:00just to get my attention?
01:03:03Did you really think
01:03:03I wouldn't see right through you?
01:03:04Let me get this straight.
01:03:07The only woman I love is Zoe.
01:03:15You make me sick.
01:03:32Zoe!
01:03:33Go to hell.
01:03:41If I can't have Richard,
01:03:43no one can.
