00:00:00A $200 million trust fund for a child that's not even born yet? That's crazy.
00:00:05If you two hadn't decided to abuse Iris today, all of this could have been yours.
00:00:12That's an insane amount of wealth. Man, that guy was so close to being the luckiest son-in-law in the world.
00:00:20And him and his mom were just calling her broke.
00:00:23They burned bridges with their super rich in-laws over a little 20 grand.
00:00:27I guess that's what the dude gets for being such a momless boy.
00:00:30If his evil mom had just treated her daughter-in-law with the minimum fair decency, she would have all that money in her pocket right now.
00:00:38It should have been mine. It was all supposed to be mine.
00:00:44Shut up, you old fraud! I was tired of you like two hours ago.
00:00:50And you don't even think about trying to get a penny out of Dorian.
00:00:56Iris, you married me with nothing, now you're leaving with nothing. Isn't that exactly how it should be? Stop painting yourself as a victim.
00:01:03Three years ago I gave you an emerald ring. I want it back, nothing else.
00:01:09An emerald ring?
00:01:11Iris, you gave him that ring. It's the only thing your mother left behind when she passed. You wasted three years of love on this asshole.
00:01:26But after today, I know you'll never let that happen again. You've grown up, Iris.
00:01:35The only place that these cheap fuckers are going is prison.
00:01:41Eric, collect all the broken pieces of the brooch and assess the damages.
00:01:48You hopeless fools. The CEO of the Cartelier made this custom for the chairman of the Aster Dominion.
00:02:03It's the only one of its kind in the world. You know what that means, right?
00:02:06You're gonna be repaying this debt for the rest of your lives!
00:02:09The Aster Dominion? That's the world's number one financial conglomerate.
00:02:13They're worth over 700 billion on the stock market.
00:02:16Isn't there Chairman Algaster? The richest man in the world?
00:02:20Wait, and his daughter's name is Iris too.
00:02:23That must be her. That's Iris Aster. The Aster Iris.
00:02:27That brooch that my father has is worth more than you could make in ten lifetimes.
00:02:37Are you still trying to pass for some hot shot with that plastic fake brooch?
00:02:44You are nothing but a destitute, blood-sucking leech.
00:02:50Actually, it's embarrassing how shameless you are.
00:02:53If I hadn't seen through your facade, you and your fraudster father would still be bleeding my son dry as we speak.
00:03:03Don't worry, baby. Mummy's got it under control.
00:03:08This family makes me sick.
00:03:11They're not going anywhere with that baby.
00:03:16The only place that these cheap fuckers are going is prison.
00:03:22Stay strong, Iris. I can't let them have my baby.
00:03:26The baby's heartbeat is stopped. We need to focus on stabilizing the mother.
00:03:31No, no, baby. Please don't leave me.
00:03:37Please, God, please save my baby.
00:03:54Mom is here. Come back my baby.
00:03:58Are you really part of the Aster Dominion?
00:04:06I'm not just part of it.
00:04:08My father's the chairman of the Aster Dominion and I am his sole heir.
00:04:13And my baby will be my successor.
00:04:16I didn't tell you who I was because I gave up all of it to be with you.
00:04:23And I recently got back in contact with my father to tell him the good news about the baby.
00:04:28I was planning on telling you about my family background.
00:04:32But now I'm glad I didn't.
00:04:34Because you turned out to be a total piece of shit, Dorian.
00:04:40You are not worthy of being my husband, let alone the father of my child.
00:04:45Oh, come on. The fake goods were bad enough.
00:04:50But now you're trying to impersonate the world's richest family?
00:04:54It just keeps getting better and better.
00:04:57So because your tiny little brain can't wrap around this fact, it's fake.
00:05:04Have you got a screw loose?
00:05:06You can't have true love without money.
00:05:09This is real life, not some fairy tale.
00:05:11Now quit stalling and sign the damn disclaimer.
00:05:16Your mom is making my dad.
00:05:18Sign this disclaimer and you are just gonna stand there?
00:05:21Iris, all I've ever asked is that you be sympathetic to my financial constraints
00:05:25and not be wasteful with money.
00:05:27How is that still so hard for you to understand?
00:05:30I can't believe I'm about to sign off on a measly 20,000.
00:05:36Word gets out, I'll be the laughing stock of every boardroom in town.
00:05:42Iris, if this is really the happily ever after you want, I'll do it for you and the baby.
00:05:51You just got my daughter sent to the ICU!
00:06:00I have a mind to kill you right now!
00:06:15What?
00:06:16Stay back!
00:06:18What are you gonna do?
00:06:19Hit me in front of my son?
00:06:24Stay away from my mom.
00:06:25The reason the baby is fighting for its life in the ICU is because Iris was acting all crazy.
00:06:30The baby's heart is starting again.
00:06:43It's a miracle.
00:06:45She's alive!
00:06:46Quick!
00:06:47Go save the baby!
00:06:49She's okay!
00:06:50She's alive!
00:06:53You heartless monster!
00:06:55Your wife and child are in the brink of death in the ICU and instead of worrying about them,
00:06:58you're defending your piece of shit!
00:07:00Mom?
00:07:02What if the baby really dies because of this?
00:07:05Will you not have even the slightest remorse?
00:07:09I'll be happy if the baby dies.
00:07:13Did you just say?
00:07:14That baby would end up just like its mom.
00:07:18Another greedy, lying con artist.
00:07:20Better to just not have it in the first place!
00:07:33Are you prepared to rot in jail for the rest of your lives?
00:07:36Defendants?
00:07:37What are you talking about?
00:07:39Defendants!
00:07:40What the hell kind of scheme are you cooking up now?
00:07:42I'm suing the both of you.
00:07:45For defamation, for destruction of personal property, and for attempted murder.
00:07:49You're suing us!
00:07:51Your scammer dad is trying to distribute counterfeit goods?
00:07:56And we should be suing you!
00:07:58Iris, we were married for three years.
00:08:01We have a child.
00:08:02Do you really want to drag me to court?
00:08:04You really have the nerve to talk about our child.
00:08:06When you sat there while your mother abused me and almost let the baby die!
00:08:10Don't try to push the blame onto my mom.
00:08:13Yeah, she might have a unique way of showing her love for me, but at least she loves me.
00:08:16You're the one who started all this!
00:08:18You insulted her first!
00:08:20Forget it.
00:08:21I'm not gonna waste my breath on a vile woman like you.
00:08:25We're getting divorced. Now.
00:08:26I've been waiting for this day to come.
00:08:33Sign an Instagram.
00:08:35I don't ever want to see you again.
00:08:39You know, you really are as dumb as it gets.
00:08:42Did you even think about the consequences that you would face if these gifts were real?
00:08:46Good God! I've never seen that much hard cash!
00:08:55And with this many cases, it's gotta be, what?
00:08:57Seven or eight million?
00:08:59No way. That's at least 10 mil.
00:09:02This was supposed to be your wedding gift.
00:09:05You mean this 10 million dollars?
00:09:07It was gonna be mine?
00:09:09Open the rest.
00:09:16These are the gifts that are prepared for Iris' baby.
00:09:22That's the pink star, the world's most expensive diamond.
00:09:26Along with Bulgari's classic emerald jewel set.
00:09:30Only the best for my grandchild.
00:09:32Holy shit, the pink star diamond!
00:09:35The jewels in that case are worth almost a hundred million.
00:09:38Those are the deeds to seven mansions, all worth around 70 million dollars.
00:09:43Because seven is Iris' lucky number.
00:09:47This is my grandchild's trust fund, worth over 200 million in assets.
00:09:55I've also arranged for the child to have one million dollars per month until they turn 18.
00:10:06You think you can fake it until you make it?
00:10:09I am going to call headquarters to report you and then I'm going to call the police.
00:10:15You can rot in jail for selling counterfeit goods.
00:10:19Tessa dear, please keep an eye on them for me, will you?
00:10:23We cannot let this family of swindlers escape.
00:10:26They deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
00:10:28The 10 million dollars cash.
00:10:36The 200 million dollar trust fund.
00:10:40All fakes.
00:10:42The jig is up.
00:10:44You're nothing but a couple of low-class crooks.
00:10:48You know what?
00:10:49It's one thing to buy counterfeit goods.
00:10:53But forging currency is a federal offense.
00:10:57I just can't wait for you to waste away in prison with your loser daddy.
00:11:04If anything happens to my daughter, you'd better believe I'll send you both to hell!
00:11:25You think threats from a down and out scammer like you scares us?
00:11:31Plus, your daughter's the one who lost her footing.
00:11:34I swear, if that baby doesn't make it out of there alive, I will make sure that your daughter doesn't either.
00:11:42Iris, stay with me.
00:11:49Iris, the baby is almost here.
00:11:51I need one big push.
00:11:52Let's go!
00:11:59Why is she so crying?
00:12:03Why can't I hear her crying?
00:12:12You almost killed my baby and you were trying to take her from me over my dead body.
00:12:24Iris!
00:12:25Iris, calm down!
00:12:26Get off of her, Iris!
00:12:27You're acting like a fucking lunatic!
00:12:31My mom's right.
00:12:32You're not fit to raise my child.
00:12:34With a violent abuser for a mother, the only place this kid's gonna end up is juvie.
00:12:38Iris, you can go wherever you want, but you're leaving the baby with us.
00:12:40I'll consider it compensation for surviving three years of marriage to a broke, scamming psycho like you.
00:12:47My baby is a human being.
00:12:50She is not an object for you to bargain over!
00:12:54Dorian Mates, marrying you was the biggest mistake of my entire life.
00:12:59And I get it.
00:13:01I get what you're doing.
00:13:03You think, because I am poor, that I am easy to push over.
00:13:07You have no idea who you are messing with.
00:13:13That brooch that my father has is worth more than you could ever make.
00:13:18In ten lifetimes.
00:13:21Dorian, please, please just help me pay the 20 grand. I swear, I will pay you back.
00:13:27Don't fall for her act.
00:13:28I know what you're playing at. You're trying to squeeze money out of Dorian.
00:13:34And then you're just gonna run away without paying a cent.
00:13:38How could you say that?
00:13:39How could you say that?
00:13:43Okay.
00:13:45Okay, Dorian.
00:13:47I think something's going to happen with the baby.
00:13:49The baby's in trouble.
00:13:51You're not fooling anyone.
00:13:53If you're really so broke, why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?
00:13:59You've already drained him dry.
00:14:01What more do you want from him?
00:14:04Dorian, Dorian, please, I am begging you. Please just say something.
00:14:08Don't fall for her drama.
00:14:11You have two choices.
00:14:13Either we can transfer her to a cheaper hospital, or she can pay for everything herself.
00:14:18And if she doesn't want to do either, then we don't want the baby anyway.
00:14:22Okay.
00:14:25I'll listen to you, Mom.
00:14:29Why does the emerald on this ring look so fake?
00:14:34Just give it back to me, and I will sign the divorce papers. We will have a clean break.
00:14:39Fine. Whatever.
00:14:41Wait!
00:14:43You gave this ring to my son, which makes it Bates' family property.
00:14:47There's no way we're giving it back to you.
00:14:49Please, Dorian, this is my only request.
00:14:52If you give me back the ring, they will not only sign the divorce papers, I will pay off the mortgage and the car.
00:14:58Please.
00:15:00This is the last thing my mother left.
00:15:06What are you doing?
00:15:08What do you think I'm doing?
00:15:10This is my son's ring, so I will do whatever the hell I want to with it.
00:15:17No!
00:15:22No!
00:15:24Oh, look at you!
00:15:27Going so crazy over this dumb ring.
00:15:30Isn't it just a cheap glass ring?
00:15:33I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it.
00:15:36Only a broke, ignorant skank like you would turn this piece of trash into a rare kind of treasure.
00:15:44I said, just give it back!
00:15:47Oh!
00:15:48Look at you!
00:15:49With all this going crazy, you'd think it was the real deal.
00:15:53I said, give it back.
00:15:56Stay back.
00:15:58Take one more step, and I will smash it to the ground.
00:16:02Did you even think about the consequences that you would face if these gifts were real?
00:16:09That's impossible. It's impossible that they're not fake.
00:16:15Playtime's over, bitch.
00:16:17Dorian already told you to beat it.
00:16:19Now quit stalling and sign the damn divorce papers.
00:16:23The Bates family wants nothing to do with you.
00:16:25I will sign the papers.
00:16:27But you have to give me back what's mine.
00:16:30Give you back what's yours?
00:16:32We have nothing of yours.
00:16:34And not to mention that you've been on unpaid maternity leave for the past two weeks.
00:16:39And Dorian has been covering everything.
00:16:44I already told you.
00:16:46Your money and your baby belong to the Bates family.
00:16:53So if you want to leave, you leave with nothing.
00:16:58So, Dorian, you already know what your wonderful mother thinks of me.
00:17:03What about you?
00:17:05I'm with her. She's only ever done what's best for me.
00:17:08What's best for you is ruining your chance of becoming a billionaire
00:17:12and turning you into a bank-rupt criminal!
00:17:16What? Leave the hospital.
00:17:19A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt before the baby's even born.
00:17:24Could you just think about Dorian for once?
00:17:29Yes, I love him.
00:17:31I'm not wasting anyone's money.
00:17:35I chose this hospital because I had Placentia Previa.
00:17:38I could bleed out.
00:17:39And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency.
00:17:42I'm not here for comfort.
00:17:44I'm here to protect the baby and make sure that they're safe.
00:17:48Dorian, I know how hard you work.
00:17:52Just let me stay one night and just to make sure the baby is stable.
00:17:58And then we can transfer, I promise.
00:17:59Son, don't fall for that.
00:18:02We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight.
00:18:05If she drags this out, it's going to be thousands more down the drain.
00:18:10Tessa, this is between my husband and I.
00:18:12Please just give us a moment.
00:18:14I'm his mother.
00:18:16Dorian's opinion is my opinion.
00:18:17Now, come on.
00:18:18We are leaving this hospital.
00:18:21Ow!
00:18:22Ow!
00:18:25Dorian!
00:18:27I just can't wait for you to waste away in prison with your loser daddy.
00:18:36Yeah, yeah, you're totally right.
00:18:41Just because you say it's fake definitely means it's fake.
00:18:46Dorian, see?
00:18:48This is the woman that you married.
00:18:50Nothing but a cheap scammer who teams up with her father to trick us with shoddy fakes.
00:19:00And now that the cat's out of the bag, they're not even denying it.
00:19:04So this is the real you, Iris?
00:19:07A woman who enlists her father to try and scam her own husband?
00:19:10You never loved me at all, did you?
00:19:12I bet you orchestrated this whole charade just to get your hands on my money.
00:19:17You disgust me, Iris.
00:19:20No, Dorian, you disgust me.
00:19:22God, how did I even end up with a complete fucking idiot?
00:19:26How dare you talk about my son that way?
00:19:29I can't wait until the cops show up and throw your sorry ass in jail.
00:19:36Okay, well, don't get ahead of yourself.
00:19:38When the cops get here, they're gonna ask you to compensate for the bruise that you destroyed.
00:19:43And when they do, don't come begging us for mercy.
00:19:50Ah! Dorian!
00:19:53Iris, let's just go to a local clinic.
00:19:56Raising a kid is expensive. We need to save where we can.
00:19:59That's right.
00:20:01We're not the bad guys here.
00:20:03Tons of women give birth at local hospitals.
00:20:06But you are a greedy little leech.
00:20:10And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry.
00:20:13What do you think he is?
00:20:15Your personal ATM?
00:20:17I'm not trying to waste anyone's money.
00:20:19I have a low-lying placenta.
00:20:21And if something goes wrong, the BB could die.
00:20:24Don't go soft on her.
00:20:27Let her play you.
00:20:29Every pregnant woman has complications.
00:20:31Just because it's risky doesn't mean it's gonna happen.
00:20:34If you cave now, she will bleed you dry for the rest of your life.
00:20:39You're right, Mom.
00:20:41Thanks for always having my back.
00:20:43Mm-hmm.
00:20:45I'm here for you.
00:20:46Like certain people, I will never let someone make a fool of you.
00:20:52Iris, if you want to stay in this hospital, fine.
00:20:56But you're gonna pay for it yourself.
00:20:59I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you waste one more cent of my son's money.
00:21:06Ah!
00:21:08Something's wrong with me.
00:21:10You called the doctor, please.
00:21:11No!
00:21:13Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.
00:21:18Touch my mom and there's more where that came from.
00:21:23Anita?
00:21:24Oh, don't fight them.
00:21:26We're in.
00:21:28Just don't hurt her.
00:21:30I will take out the load.
00:21:32Aw, couldn't win with your words.
00:21:34You had to use your fists, huh?
00:21:36How classy.
00:21:38I'm so sorry, Mom.
00:21:39Are you all right?
00:21:40Oh!
00:21:42I'll be okay.
00:21:44For your sake.
00:21:45You've never been a good daughter-in-law.
00:21:50Your parents didn't even send a dime for the wedding.
00:21:53Do you know that when Mrs. Smith's son got married, her in-laws sent 50 grand cash?
00:22:00And they gave her a brand new Tesla!
00:22:03Not only did you show up with nothing, now you're trying to empty his bank account, too.
00:22:09I'm sorry, baby.
00:22:12You deserve so much better than that.
00:22:15Nurse, you could use it a little bit with this quickly, please.
00:22:22See?
00:22:23Was it that hard?
00:22:25That's what it means to be part of the Bates family.
00:22:28But you're not off the hook yet.
00:22:30What else could you possibly want from me?
00:22:33Well, you're still married to Dorian, so he could be responsible for your debt.
00:22:38But you took out the loan on your own, right?
00:22:41You should be the one to pay it back.
00:22:43So here's what's gonna happen.
00:22:44You're gonna sign a simple statement that says that Dorian is not responsible for any of it.
00:22:52Who the hell did you just say?
00:22:55You wanna bring the median on this?
00:22:58Of course! I think it would be best to protect our image.
00:23:00Or it will ruin the company.
00:23:02Fucking idiots!
00:23:03Mr. Holland!
00:23:04Mr. Holland!
00:23:05Why would you do that?
00:23:06I was just trying to protect the company!
00:23:09You deserve this!
00:23:10Mr. Holland!
00:23:13You arrogant asshole!
00:23:16Who the fuck do you think you are hitting my friend like that?
00:23:20Do you even know who she is?
00:23:22This is Sadie Smith, Regional Manager of Cartelier California.
00:23:29She's your friend?
00:23:31And I will smash it to the ground.
00:23:37Dorian, I have done so much for you.
00:23:40I paid for the mortgage and I supported you with your business.
00:23:44When have I ever done you wrong?
00:23:45What more can you ask of me?
00:23:49Quit the whining!
00:23:51You sound like nails on a chalkboard.
00:23:54It's just like a stupid old ring, alright?
00:23:57It is not a stupid old ring!
00:23:59It is an Aster family heirloom!
00:24:01And it is the last thing that my mother left me!
00:24:04And it is...
00:24:06And it is absolutely priceless.
00:24:09Fine. Mom, just give it back.
00:24:11It says a lot about the type of person she is.
00:24:13That she's willing to go this far over some trashy ring.
00:24:16Get the ring!
00:24:17And be careful with it!
00:24:27Here's something to the Bates family!
00:24:30And you're not getting it back!
00:24:41Where's Dorian?
00:24:46My baby is coming any second now.
00:24:49What kind of husband disappears in a moment like this?
00:24:52He'll be here soon.
00:24:54He's going to get his mom.
00:24:56Seriously. Thank you, Anita.
00:24:58For being here.
00:25:00I'm your best friend.
00:25:02I wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:25:05I'm gonna go grab the doctor.
00:25:11I'm gonna go grab the doctor.
00:25:13I'm gonna go grab the doctor.
00:25:15I'm gonna go grab the doctor.
00:25:17I'm gonna go grab the doctor.
00:25:19Chairman Aster.
00:25:20This gift just came in for you.
00:25:22The CEO of Cartelier.
00:25:24It's a custom cheetah brooch.
00:25:26It's the purest ruby.
00:25:28On the planet.
00:25:30Not bad.
00:25:42Dad.
00:25:44I'm about to have the baby.
00:25:46What?
00:25:49Virus!
00:25:51What?
00:25:53Are you really walking out on your family?
00:25:56Dad!
00:25:58You were wrong about Dorian, okay?
00:26:00He doesn't care about money!
00:26:02He loves me!
00:26:04And I choose him!
00:26:06If you walk through that gate, you are no longer my daughter.
00:26:12And you'll have nothing to do with the Aster name ever again!
00:26:19Even if you never call me your daughter, Adrian, I'm still your dad.
00:26:26And I love your dad.
00:26:29I always will.
00:26:31But I choose him.
00:26:33Because our love is real, dad.
00:26:36And I'm gonna prove it to you.
00:26:52Congratulations, sir.
00:26:54You're gonna be your grandfather.
00:26:55You're gonna be your father.
00:26:59Dorian still rubs me the wrong way.
00:27:02He barely looks like he could take care of a goldfish, let alone a family.
00:27:06Still, Iris chose him.
00:27:09And now they're about to have a baby.
00:27:12Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance.
00:27:15Get the finest gifts money can buy.
00:27:19I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty.
00:27:21Guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris.
00:27:29If not,
00:27:31he'll have me to answer to.
00:27:38You crazy old bitch!
00:27:42I'm gonna kill you!
00:27:44Dorian!
00:27:46Baby!
00:27:47Did you see what they did here, Mommy?
00:27:49Your ex-wife hired those gangsters to kill me!
00:27:54I'm gonna call the cops.
00:27:56I'm gonna get you all arrested!
00:27:58Go find the best show you can.
00:28:00We need to get that tear fixed now!
00:28:02Y-yes, sir.
00:28:05They gave you repairs?
00:28:07I'm gonna make you regret it!
00:28:09Look at this room.
00:28:12This isn't a hospital.
00:28:14She's treating labor like it's a spa retreat.
00:28:17Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-laws gave birth at local clinics?
00:28:23And it only cost three grand total.
00:28:27But your wife is spending two grand a night!
00:28:32I don't know, Mom. I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby.
00:28:35Ugh!
00:28:37Oh, Dorian.
00:28:39Don't be stupid.
00:28:41This has nothing to do with the baby.
00:28:43She's flaunting.
00:28:45She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite.
00:28:49I warned you.
00:28:51She is not as sweet as she seems.
00:28:54If you keep letting her burn through your money like this,
00:28:58one day you're gonna wake up with nothing left.
00:29:01Then what do I do?
00:29:05Don't worry, my sweet boy.
00:29:08You're gonna handle everything, okay?
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:12Let's go.
00:29:14Tessa, Dorian.
00:29:15What were you guys chatting about out there?
00:29:16Oh, actually, um, the doctor said the bill was due.
00:29:19Do you think you could take care of that?
00:29:22Iris, do you have any idea what all this costs?
00:29:26A room like this runs 50, 60 grand.
00:29:29Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family.
00:29:34Stop blowing through his savings and leave this hospital immediately.
00:29:42What?
00:29:43So this bitch really is the world's richest, Iris?
00:29:48Damn it.
00:29:50If this keeps going, I'll lose Dorian and everything I've got.
00:29:55Dorian, don't listen to her.
00:29:58Iris lied to you for years about who she really was.
00:30:01She's a manipulative bitch.
00:30:03Even if you two stay married, do you think she'd even give you a cent?
00:30:06Say one more word about my daughter and I'll rip your tongue out!
00:30:11Iris, what do you want to do about this?
00:30:18These two have done enough to lose everything they've ever owned
00:30:22and spend the rest of their lives in prison.
00:30:24Where is it? Let me take a look.
00:30:28Yes, absolutely.
00:30:29Uh, you.
00:30:31You there with the fake brooch.
00:30:34Show it to Mr. Holland immediately.
00:30:36Oh, that fake brooch.
00:30:39Mr. Holland gave it to me himself.
00:30:43Why did you ask him if it's real or not?
00:30:45Mr. Holland, the CEO cartelier.
00:30:50Tessa, everything you see is fake.
00:30:55Why don't we double check?
00:30:58It must have been fake for it to break so easily.
00:31:02Seriously?
00:31:03You're gonna keep making stuff up when the CEO is standing right here in front of you?
00:31:08Sir, please don't take it personally that men like him can't afford the real thing,
00:31:12so they masquerade in fakes.
00:31:15Frankly, I think it damages our image.
00:31:17I have a friend who's a journalist at CBS.
00:31:20If you'd like, I could put in a call to her so that she can bring this whole scandal to the news media.
00:31:25You wanna take this to the media?
00:31:29Mr. Astor.
00:31:31It's an honor. I'm Byron Holland, CEO of Cartelier.
00:31:34I sent over the cheater brooch earlier this morning.
00:31:37Appreciate it.
00:31:39That's the CEO of Cartelier.
00:31:40I've seen him on how magazine covers before.
00:31:44Wow, he's treating that girl's father with such respect.
00:31:47Who is he?
00:31:48If I had to guess, he's the chairman of the Astor Dominion.
00:31:52The richest man on the planet.
00:31:54Oh my god, that tiara is shining.
00:31:56Mr. Astor, I heard your daughter had a gay birth today.
00:31:59I prepared a small gift to celebrate.
00:32:01Oh, thank you. That's very nice.
00:32:03But really, there's no need.
00:32:05Oh no, he just turned down Mr. Holland in front of everyone?
00:32:08Mom, that tiara doesn't look fake to me.
00:32:11What if Iris and her dad are actually the real deal?
00:32:14No, that's impossible.
00:32:16There's no way a bottom feeder like her would be the world's richest heiress.
00:32:21Think about it, Dorian.
00:32:23Why would a rich heiress leave everything behind and work three jobs just to marry a regular guy like you?
00:32:29That tiara must be a fake.
00:32:32Don't fall for it, Dorian.
00:32:34What kind of nonsense is that?
00:32:36You can't just hit her like that. That's assault. You people are the real criminals.
00:32:43Here we go again.
00:32:44You're just like your mom, always pointing fingers, never owning up to anything.
00:32:51Nothing but dead weight.
00:32:53Your mom just trashed someone else's property and you're calling him the criminal for standing up for himself.
00:33:00Mr. Holland, what brings you here?
00:33:04You know her?
00:33:05Uh, no, no, of course not. You may not remember me, but I'm Sadie Smith, regional manager for Cartelier's California branch.
00:33:14In fact, that whole cheetah brooch scandal, I was the one that called it into headquarters.
00:33:18I couldn't have known it was going to cause such a fuss, much less bring you here in person.
00:33:23Cheetah brooch you talk about.
00:33:25Where is it? Let me take a look.
00:33:27Well, must be fake to break that easily.
00:33:41Spit it out.
00:33:43Where did you get the counterfeit brooch?
00:33:46Well, ma'am, your brand custom designed it for me.
00:33:51It's worth over two million dollars.
00:33:52Now that you've destroyed my brooch, how do you plan on compensating me for it?
00:33:59Wow, Grandpa's gone off his rocker.
00:34:02You're just some broke old geezer wearing fake jewelry.
00:34:07What are you talking about, compensation?
00:34:10Let's face facts.
00:34:12I caught you wearing a knockoff of our brand.
00:34:16And parading around here with all this fake currency.
00:34:18I'm going to call headquarters to report you and then I'm calling the police.
00:34:24Our CEO, Mr. Holland, is the richest man in the city.
00:34:28You cross him and you're dead.
00:34:31Who's Mr. Holland again?
00:34:33Sir, Mr. Holland is the one who gifted you the brooch this morning.
00:34:37Give me a break!
00:34:40Mr. Holland is our CEO.
00:34:42He would never in a million years give you such a precious gift.
00:34:48You broke old geezer.
00:34:50Who do you think you are?
00:34:52The richest fucking man on earth?
00:35:12Mr. Holland, Mr. Holland, what's wrong? What happened? You sounded like you were having a heart attack.
00:35:18Hurry, I need to get the Baltimore Sierra from the vault. I need it delivered to Miss Astor ASAP.
00:35:23You're giving that away?
00:35:25I just got word that Miss Astor, the richest heiress on earth, is having a baby today.
00:35:29We must congratulate you with the most spectacular gift.
00:35:31If we pull this off, we could have a partnership with THE Astor Dominion!
00:35:36We're talking billions, Jessica! Billions!
00:35:39Now go! Run! Now!
00:35:40Run! Now!
00:35:57A private hospital? Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?
00:36:03She's burning through your money like it grows on trees.
00:36:06Mom, please don't get worked up.
00:36:08The doctor said Iris has placenta previa.
00:36:10It's serious. There's a real risk of bleeding.
00:36:13Oh, Dorian!
00:36:15Your wife's just being dramatic.
00:36:18And who does she think she is? Some royal heiress or something?
00:36:21This is why we're bleeding money.
00:36:24If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today, tomorrow she's going to want to live in Nanny.
00:36:31And then what? A private chef? A butler?
00:36:33What do I do, Mom?
00:36:36You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?
00:36:38No, not yet.
00:36:40Good. When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead.
00:36:45Okay, Mom.
00:36:46Just remember, no other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does.
00:36:52Oh, this is my precious baby.
00:36:54You...
00:36:57Iris, placenta previa is serious. You need to rest and take it easy.
00:37:02We've got you covered around the clock. We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe.
00:37:09Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you. You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise.
00:37:19Tessa, Dorian, you're here.
00:37:31Come on, rip it up!
00:37:34Dorian, wake up!
00:37:35If you don't, your mom's going to be the death of you.
00:37:38Shut the fuck up.
00:37:40My mom's the only person who's ever loved me for me.
00:37:43She'd never do anything to hurt me.
00:37:44You're just trying to turn me against her.
00:37:46That's what happens when you fuck with the Bates family.
00:37:57Remember, Iris, you brought this on yourself.
00:38:00I just wanted you to save a little money, but you and your dad had to orchestrate this crazy plan to try and scam me?
00:38:05Now you're living with the consequences.
00:38:07Exactly.
00:38:09My son is an absolute catch.
00:38:12A real 10 out of 10.
00:38:14And what do you do?
00:38:15You try to scam him with all those fake goods?
00:38:18You should have been grateful to have a husband like Dorian.
00:38:23I've had enough of your games, Iris.
00:38:26Let's get divorced.
00:38:28Hear that?
00:38:30He wants out.
00:38:31Divorce him.
00:38:32And get the hell away from the Bates family.
00:38:35As you wish.
00:38:36But it's the defendants in this case.
00:38:38Are you prepared to rot in jail for the rest of your lives?
00:38:41So because your tiny little brain can't wrap around this fact, it's fake.
00:38:49Fine.
00:38:51Believe what you want.
00:38:52You're really full of shit.
00:38:53If you really were the world's richest heiress, why would you leave your fortune behind to marry my son?
00:39:04And for such an important occasion, wouldn't the hospital be swarming with gifts?
00:39:09I don't see any A-list celebrities coming here to celebrate the birth of your heir.
00:39:15All that you need to know is that my baby is coming home with me.
00:39:19And that if either of you try to do anything, I will make sure that you both rot in hell.
00:39:23Mr. Holland, you spent eight million on this tiara to win the Sotheby's bid ten years ago.
00:39:34Are you sure you want to give it away?
00:39:37Hurry. I need to get the Pulteward Tiara from the vault.
00:39:40I need it delivered to Miss Astra ASAP.
00:39:43You're giving that away?
00:39:44If we pull this off, we could have a partnership with THE Aster Dominion.
00:39:49We're talking billions, Jessica! Billions!
00:39:52You've still got a lot to learn, Jessica.
00:39:54This is Irish Aster we're talking about.
00:39:56THE heiress to the Aster Dominion.
00:39:59I only found out yesterday she was giving birth.
00:40:02All that matters is that we get this gift delivered to her on time.
00:40:09Sir?
00:40:11Someone's claiming to have found a counterfeit cheetah brooch.
00:40:14I hate it when people bother me with this petty crap.
00:40:17This is what I have a team of lawyers for.
00:40:19Step on it!
00:40:20I need to be the first one to deliver Miss Astra a baby gift!
00:40:26Alone?
00:40:27Are you seriously making Iris take out alone?
00:40:30Oh my god, Iris!
00:40:32Are you okay?
00:40:35I got you.
00:40:37Okay.
00:40:38What is wrong with you?
00:40:40She's your wife! She's about to give birth!
00:40:42This is a family matter. Stay out of it.
00:40:45Stay out of it?
00:40:46You expect me to watch you and your mom abuse my best friend?
00:40:52Okay.
00:40:54Okay.
00:40:56Nurse, nurse, please check her. She's in so much pain.
00:40:59Is the baby coming?
00:41:01She's in early labor.
00:41:03Internal bleeding started.
00:41:04I have to admit her now.
00:41:05Sir, you have to pay the hospital bill immediately.
00:41:07You haven't paid the bill yet?
00:41:09That's why you want her to take out a loan?
00:41:12She's about to give birth to your child and you want her to pay by herself?
00:41:16What kind of man does that?
00:41:17Oh, thank god. At least my baby girl has a good friend by her side.
00:41:23Shut your mouth!
00:41:25This has nothing to do with you.
00:41:27Get your shit together.
00:41:29Doctor said she's high risk. This isn't about luxury. It's about survival.
00:41:32She's here to keep herself and the baby alive.
00:41:35What the hell do you know? It's not like you've ever given birth before.
00:41:37Exactly. You're just a loud mouth that thinks that screaming makes you right.
00:41:44You're just like your friend. A gold digger.
00:41:47If you care so much, why don't you pay the damn 20 grand yourself?
00:41:51We're not paying a cent. She can give birth on the floor if she wants.
00:41:57What's the worst that can happen?
00:42:00You two are unbelievable!
00:42:03Touch my mom and there's more where that came from. Even if you are Iris' friend.
00:42:11Miss Astor, you need to see this.
00:42:17What?
00:42:19It's her ex-husband. Live. Spreading rumours about you.
00:42:22We're married. For three years.
00:42:25But in the end, she and her billionaire father, Alec Astor, kicked me out just because I wasn't rich enough.
00:42:31And the worst part is, they've taken our daughter, Ivy.
00:42:36This is outrageous.
00:42:38I cut Dorian some slack because he's Ivy's father and this is how he repaid me? By slandering me online?
00:42:43It's starting fast.
00:42:45Miss Astor, people are calling for a boycott.
00:42:47And now our company's stock just dropped by 8%.
00:42:51She's your friend?
00:42:53No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:42:57Babe, you gotta back me up on this.
00:42:59But all I did was crush that cheap-ass tiara to prove that it was fake.
00:43:06And now everyone's lashing out at me.
00:43:09Forgive me. Call the cops.
00:43:11I want everything documented.
00:43:13I'm suing all of them.
00:43:15You smashed the tiara?
00:43:16Yes!
00:43:18You idiot!
00:43:19This is our CEO of Cartelier, Mr. Holland. Apologize to him right now.
00:43:25He's Mr. Holland.
00:43:28I just slapped the CEO of Cartelier.
00:43:31You're okay, sweetheart.
00:43:32Looks like the future heiress's favorite person is still her mommy.
00:43:45I'm in favor of giving full custody to the mother.
00:43:49A man who uses his own daughter as a pawn for money shouldn't even be a father.
00:43:54I support Miss Astor.
00:43:57We support Miss Astor!
00:43:59We support Miss Astor!
00:44:01We support Miss Astor!
00:44:03Order.
00:44:04I'll now announce the verdict.
00:44:07Full custody will go to...
00:44:14He's not a father. He's a selfish leech who only cares about money.
00:44:17What the hell do you two know?
00:44:19This is clearly all her fault.
00:44:20If she told me her real identity earlier, none of this would have happened.
00:44:24I tried to tell you at the hospital, but you didn't listen and suddenly this is my fault now.
00:44:28I... you're...
00:44:30Warner.
00:44:32Mr. Bates, I've heard more than enough to back the defendant's claims.
00:44:36If all you've got are excuses and attitude, I'm ready to make my ruling.
00:44:40Your Honor, please.
00:44:41I'm still Ivy's biological father. Doesn't her opinion matter?
00:44:43Just trust her. We'll see. She loves me more than anyone.
00:44:47Don't take her.
00:44:49Don't take her.
00:44:57Biological dad or not, she's scared out of her mind.
00:45:00That guy's just a money-hungry leech.
00:45:13These fucking assholes.
00:45:14Don't they know I was the son-in-law of the world's richest man?
00:45:19Yesterday, Iris Astor, the newly appointed CEO of the Astor Dominion, celebrated her daughter's first birthday, renting out the entire Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.
00:45:30Cameras spotted Miss Astor in fully head-to-toe designer with her baby Ivy in her arms.
00:45:34The young heiress is set to inherit one of the world's largest private fortunes.
00:45:39Wait.
00:45:41Why didn't I think of this sooner?
00:45:43It works or not, I'm still Ivy's dad.
00:45:45I'm still Ivy's dad.
00:45:55Hello.
00:45:57Some of you may have heard of Iris Astor, the new CEO of the Astor Dominion.
00:46:02I'm her ex-husband.
00:46:03What happened?
00:46:06Dad?
00:46:08You're already here?
00:46:10Yes, baby.
00:46:12Daddy's here now.
00:46:17If I got here any later, God knows what these two would have done to you.
00:46:23So, you're Iris' father.
00:46:26You got here just in time.
00:46:28As her father, I demand that you sign this disclaimer on her behalf.
00:46:36Does you leave my dad out of this?
00:46:39Oh my God, Dorian!
00:46:41Your wife just won't stop yelling at me!
00:46:43Iris, if you can't start showing my mom some basic respect, I'm gonna have to stop playing nice.
00:46:47Iris, is this the man you gave up everything for?
00:46:53Dorian is a wonderful man.
00:46:55But his mom is gaslighting.
00:46:57I mean, he can't see how severe the situation is with the baby.
00:47:01Iris! All she's trying to do is help.
00:47:03If she wanted to help, then she wouldn't be here causing a scene!
00:47:09Oh, Mr. Astor.
00:47:10If you're so concerned, why don't you sign the form and take on your daughter's 20 grand of debt?
00:47:18Mr. Astor, don't listen to her.
00:47:21First, she forced Iris to take out a loan with a crazy high interest rate, and now she wants you to pay it back.
00:47:26She's way out of line.
00:47:28Well, Dorian sure as hell isn't gonna pay it!
00:47:31Iris' debt has shit to do with him!
00:47:34I'm just trying for everyone to stop ganging up on my boy.
00:47:36Anita, keep digging your nose into our family's business, and I'll have security drag your ass out.
00:47:47Iris, is this the true love you threw your whole life away for?
00:47:56And we are gonna be living happily ever after, even if we have absolutely nothing.
00:48:02Because our love is real, Dad.
00:48:05And I'm gonna prove it to you.
00:48:15I swear to God, you're pure evil.
00:48:19All you've been doing since the second you got here is abuse and humiliate Iris.
00:48:26And you, hopeless, cowardly, shit-for-brains mama's boy.
00:48:34I bet your mommy still wipes your ass every time you go potty.
00:48:39Now look what you've done.
00:48:40You've destroyed her mother's family heirloom.
00:48:43You're monsters in human form.
00:48:46Absolutely disgusting filth.
00:48:50You shut the fuck up.
00:48:53One more word out of you and I'm gonna make you get on all fours, lick my shoes, and beg for forgiveness.
00:49:00Did you just hit me?
00:49:03Nobody hits me!
00:49:06You wanna go, Grandpa?
00:49:10Let's go!
00:49:12Hands off my mom, Iris!
00:49:14Oh!
00:49:16Baby!
00:49:17You were a scumbag!
00:49:19You destroyed the only thing that my mother gave me.
00:49:22And I swear on her name that I will make you both pay!
00:49:25I am calling the cops.
00:49:30You two are getting locked up.
00:49:45Mr. Astor.
00:49:51Dorian, they're ganging up on me!
00:49:53They're trying to beat up your poor old mother.
00:49:56Iris, I was blind to marry someone like you.
00:50:00No, Dorian, I was the blind one.
00:50:02I was the one who abandoned my family for a scumbag like you!
00:50:06You know, I really thought that you were different!
00:50:09I thought that you were a good man!
00:50:12A man who didn't care about money!
00:50:15A man who truly loved me!
00:50:17But it turns out,
00:50:18you are the type of man who abandoned their own child over $20,000
00:50:24and let their mother manipulate my mother into signing a stupid agreement!
00:50:30Iris, you took out the loan yourself!
00:50:34Give me one good reason why my son should be responsible for your debt!
00:50:38Honestly!
00:50:41I've never seen anyone so shameless!
00:50:44You know, my Dorian was a real catch back then!
00:50:48And out of all the girls he could have chosen,
00:50:52he ended up with a useless wife like you!
00:50:56A broke-ass bitch who couldn't even afford to pay for the wedding!
00:51:00You know, since you've married my son, you've done nothing for our family!
00:51:06I mean, you could barely afford the mortgage and car payments!
00:51:10You only forked out a few thousand dollars when Dorian was trying to start his own business!
00:51:15And now, you are trying to bleed him dry!
00:51:19This blank covers the mortgage and the car payments,
00:51:22and she gave him money to start a business?
00:51:24That sounds like enough to me!
00:51:25I mean, what do they want from her?
00:51:27They're clearly the ones we encourage dry!
00:51:30If I had a wife like that, I'd be looking to drink!
00:51:32Right?
00:51:33That guy's mom looks super controlling!
00:51:35She's probably trying to drive a wench between her son and his wife!
00:51:38What the hell do you idiots know?!
00:51:40I'm just trying to protect my son's interests!
00:51:43You don't know shit!
00:51:44Unlike some moms, mine actually cares about me!
00:51:47So shut up and stay out of our business!
00:51:49And you!
00:51:51You didn't even send a dime when Dorian and Iris got married!
00:51:54And now, you show up empty-handed again today!
00:52:00Who says I came empty-handed?
00:52:09Plaintiff Dorian Bates, you are suing Iris Astor for deprivation of custody of your daughter Ivy Astor!
00:52:15You want to modify the custody agreement, is that correct, sir?
00:52:19Yes, Your Honor!
00:52:21She took my daughter away on the basis of having a wealthier family!
00:52:24And now, she's forcing me to pay back a hundred million dollars in debt!
00:52:28Oh!
00:52:32Order in the court! This is not a talk show!
00:52:35Defendant, do you have any evidence to counter his claims?
00:52:38Thank you, Your Honor!
00:52:41Mr. Bates is lying!
00:52:43I have here the divorce agreement that he forced me to sign the day that I gave birth!
00:52:47He left me in Ivy!
00:52:49I believe that a father who files for divorce the same day that their daughter enters this world, does not deserve any custody!
00:52:56I never thought it'd end up like this!
00:53:07Iris and her father, they've used their power to ruin my life!
00:53:12They took my daughter away before I even got to hold her!
00:53:16And now, they're forcing me to pay hundreds of millions in debt!
00:53:20I can't afford!
00:53:22They even had my mom thrown in prison!
00:53:23I'm not doing this to hurt anybody!
00:53:26I just want to see my little girl again!
00:53:28I don't have any power!
00:53:29I don't have money!
00:53:31All I can do is speak the truth!
00:53:34And hope somebody out there hears me!
00:53:36Please!
00:53:38Help me get my daughter back!
00:53:40Miss Astor!
00:53:42Fords are furious!
00:53:43They're demanding you to fix this immediately!
00:53:50What the hell do you want?
00:53:51I hate to break it to you!
00:53:54But while you were praying for my daughter's downfall, our baby's death, God sent her back to me!
00:54:02She survived!
00:54:06And after today, you will never see her again!
00:54:09Iris, thank God!
00:54:12How are you feeling?
00:54:14I'm alright!
00:54:18She almost didn't make it, but...
00:54:20She's a fighter!
00:54:22She helped!
00:54:23She's a fighter!
00:54:27That baby belongs to the Bates family!
00:54:30If my son hadn't been working his ass off to support your pathetic, broke ass, you wouldn't have even been able to afford a basic hospital!
00:54:41Go ahead!
00:54:44Divorce my son!
00:54:46But that baby is not going anywhere with you!
00:54:51Like it or not, that thing is coming home with us!
00:54:54What, what, what, what are, what are you doing?
00:55:04Oh!
00:55:06Oh!
00:55:08Dorian, I want a divorce!
00:55:10I want a divorce!
00:55:31Iris!
00:55:33Iris!
00:55:34Stop!
00:55:35What do you mean you want a divorce?
00:55:36Do you not love me anymore?
00:55:37I mean, I feel like I should be asking me, will you ever really love me?
00:55:43Dorian, what were you doing in there when your control freak of a mother was harassing me?
00:55:47Enforcing my dad to sign the disclaimer!
00:55:50I told you not to talk about my mom like that!
00:55:52All she's trying to do is help!
00:55:54Well, if that is what you think, then you should just live with your mom for the rest of your life!
00:55:58Iris, have you ever actually looked in the mirror?
00:56:02You're trash!
00:56:03And trash doesn't get to talk to my son like that!
00:56:09Touch me with your filthy hands!
00:56:11Oh!
00:56:12Dorian!
00:56:13First, she was just spouting threats at me!
00:56:16And now, she's actually flat out assaulting me!
00:56:20You're a complete psycho!
00:56:22Iris, did you just push my mom?
00:56:25I mean, you're acting like a fucking lunatic!
00:56:27You're just gonna pin this on me because I'm psycho?!
00:56:30Iris!
00:56:32I gave you sound financial advice out of the kindness of my own heart!
00:56:38And instead of being grateful, you attack me!
00:56:41Is that not exactly what a psycho would do?!
00:56:44No!
00:56:46It's not!
00:56:48Look at this!
00:56:52You bitch!
00:56:54How dare you fucking hit me!
00:56:57I'm gonna fucking kill you!
00:56:59Touch my daughter again and you're dead!
00:57:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:57:08You're just a...
00:57:10A filthy skank!
00:57:11You're not even fit to shine my shoes!
00:57:14And you think you can make me burn in hell?!
00:57:17Oh, no!
00:57:19Enough of your bullshit!
00:57:21I'm gonna teach you a lesson now!
00:57:22A lesson now!
00:57:48You know, your stupidity cost you every single cent you could have got from the Astro Force.
00:57:53Dad, we'll let the lawyers and the cops handle the rest of this.
00:57:57I want every single cent reimbursed from the tiara.
00:58:00As for Dorian, I won't be pressing charges.
00:58:03For the child's sake.
00:58:05But he will be spending the rest of his life paying back the debt that he owes.
00:58:08As for Tessa, if she can't pay back the money that she owes,
00:58:13that she will spend the rest of her life rotting in jail.
00:58:16What she deserves for trying to kill my child.
00:58:18I will kill my child.
00:58:22Iris!
00:58:23Officers, we'll let you take it from here.
00:58:25No, no, no!
00:58:26No!
00:58:27No!
00:58:28No!
00:58:29No!
00:58:30No!
00:58:31No!
00:58:33No!
00:58:34No!
00:58:35No!
00:58:36No!
00:58:37No!
00:58:38No!
00:58:39No!
00:58:40No!
00:58:41No!
00:58:42No!
00:58:43No!
00:58:44No!
00:58:45No!
00:58:46No!
00:58:47No!
00:58:48No!
00:58:49No!
00:58:50I'm theMAN Trust.
00:58:51오 one!
00:58:52Yes!
00:58:53And today, Iris Astor, rightful heir to the Astor dominion,
00:58:54has officially returned!
00:58:57Thank you all for the warm welcome.
00:59:06Starting today, I will be stepping in as the new CEO for the Aster Dominion.
00:59:10So, can we start our first meeting?
00:59:16I believe that a father who files for divorce the same day that their daughter enters this world does not deserve any custody.
00:59:23Only because she lied to me first, Your Honor.
00:59:26She hid her real identity and pretended to be from a poor family.
00:59:29If I'd known she was the heiress to the wealthiest family in the world, I never would have left.
00:59:33Sir, you're saying it's perfectly fine to divorce your wife if she's poor.
00:59:38No, no, Your Honor, that's not what I'm saying.
00:59:41As for the debt, Ms. Aster, can you provide any evidence in your defense?
00:59:46Yes, Your Honor.
00:59:47My father brought gifts for my daughter the day that I gave birth to her worth over $100 million.
00:59:52As you can see here, my ex-husband and his mother.
00:59:57They destroyed absolutely everything.
01:00:00Show them what it means to fuck with the Bates family.
01:00:04I simply want compensation in a fair and legal manner.
01:00:07Wow, this guy's shameless.
01:00:10He asked for a divorce the day his wife gave birth, trashed all his daughter's gifts, and now he has the audacity to blame her for causing all this mess?
01:00:18The way they treated her, it's a miracle she didn't lose the baby.
01:00:21Honestly, the Aster heiress is smart not to let him have custody.
01:00:24He's not a father, he's a selfish leech who only cares about money.
01:00:28Okay, I'll listen to you, Mom.
01:00:34Dorian, I gave up my family to be with you.
01:00:37And when you started your business, I supported you.
01:00:39I gave you everything that I have.
01:00:43I mean, I paid for the mortgage and the car payments.
01:00:46I have nothing left.
01:00:47Please, save us the sob story.
01:00:51You ruined your own ties with your family.
01:00:53Don't blame Dorian for that.
01:00:55If you want to stay here, then fine.
01:00:59Pay for it yourself.
01:01:00But the Bates family is not paying a single cent.
01:01:07Dorian, it hurts.
01:01:09Please, can I just see a doctor of hers?
01:01:13Oh my God, Iris, stop acting like the victim.
01:01:15Now it all makes sense.
01:01:18You stayed here to show off.
01:01:20When did you become so shallow?
01:01:22You think I'm shallow.
01:01:24Well, aren't you?
01:01:26If you were really worried about the baby,
01:01:29why wouldn't you take out a loan?
01:01:31This is 2025.
01:01:33There's apps for that.
01:01:34You want me to take out a highly predatory,
01:01:38a high interest loan to give birth.
01:01:40Who's going to be your grandchild?
01:01:42I mean, how could you be so heartless?
01:01:44Are you really guilt-tripping me right now?
01:01:48You're the one refusing to pay for your own baby.
01:01:52God, in my day, we didn't need luxury hospitals to give birth.
01:01:56We gave birth at home for free.
01:01:59I don't know what my son saw in a gold digger like you.
01:02:03This is ridiculous.
01:02:05I didn't marry Dorian for the money.
01:02:07Stop lying!
01:02:09If you weren't after our money,
01:02:12why haven't you taken out the loan yet?
01:02:15Quit stalling!
01:02:16D'oran!
01:02:20D'oran!
01:02:24Bastards!
01:02:25How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!
01:02:28What the hell do you want?
01:02:31Come on, Iris.
01:02:33We were married for three years.
01:02:34Don't act like I'm some stranger now.
01:02:36I know you still care.
01:02:37I just, uh, I don't want Ivy growing up without her dad.
01:02:40All right?
01:02:41I promise.
01:02:42This time, I'll do whatever you say.
01:02:44I won't listen to anyone else.
01:02:45Dorian, I cut you some slack, and this is how you repay me?
01:02:47This isn't a threat, Iris.
01:02:49I'm doing this because I love you.
01:02:51If you're willing to take me back, marry me again,
01:02:53then I'll take the videos down.
01:02:55Shut down all the rumors.
01:02:56I swear, your stock won't drop another cent.
01:02:59Wow.
01:03:00You know, you just burned the last bit of mercy that I had left for you.
01:03:05Fine.
01:03:05I will see you in court.
01:03:07I'm gonna make sure the entire world knows exactly who you are.
01:03:13Ungrateful bitch.
01:03:15I'm still Ivy's biological father.
01:03:19You had your chance, Iris.
01:03:21Now, I'm gonna destroy you.
01:03:26Eric, I need you to go get a lawyer.
01:03:28I'm gonna be suing Dorian for defamation and for federal securities laws.
01:03:31Miss Astor, you will win in court, no doubt.
01:03:34The damage to your reputation, I don't think it can be undone.
01:03:38Wait.
01:03:39What if we take him on one of those reality courtroom shows?
01:03:43We lay it all out there for the whole country to see.
01:03:45Set the record straight.
01:03:47I like that idea.
01:03:48And if we're gonna do this,
01:03:49we're gonna make sure we do it so the whole world sees exactly who he is.
01:03:52And we are not gonna hold back.
01:03:54What kind of nonsense is that?
01:04:02And a CEO, please!
01:04:05More like a deadbeat actor they hired off the street.
01:04:09You really think they're faking it?
01:04:10Of course they are, Dorian.
01:04:14Look, you're lucky that you're divorcing her.
01:04:17Not only did she show up with all those knockoff goods, she brought in a group of cheap actors to back her up.
01:04:25Are you kidding me?
01:04:27This is the Baltimore tiara.
01:04:28I dropped eight million at Sotheby's on it.
01:04:31And I have the certificate to prove it.
01:04:33Oh, yeah.
01:04:34And how do we know the certificate's not fake?
01:04:37I mean, if you can forge currency and impersonate the CEO of Cartelier,
01:04:45faking a paper's nothing.
01:04:47You're insane.
01:04:48Everything you say is nonsense.
01:04:49I'm insane?
01:04:52You're the one pissing me off.
01:04:55I'm gonna fuck you up.
01:05:02No.
01:05:05Through this contract, Nolan Boyd.
01:05:11I gave you an out.
01:05:18This is how you react?
01:05:20You are leaving this hospital right now.
01:05:22I don't care where that baby is born, but it sure as hell is not gonna be here.
01:05:28Shut up!
01:05:32This baby is between Dorian and I, so stop getting in between us!
01:05:37You are a monstrous disgrace of a woman.
01:05:42What did you just call me?
01:05:45A disgrace.
01:05:45Dorian, I stood up for you through everything!
01:05:52When you wanted to chase your dreams and start your business,
01:05:57I gave you all of my savings,
01:06:00and now I swallow my pride,
01:06:06and I take out this predatory loan.
01:06:09Well, because you don't even want to pay for the birth of your own child!
01:06:16Now you're asking my dad to sign this bullshit disclaimer!
01:06:21Dorian,
01:06:22you should be ashamed of yourself.
01:06:26Iris, I was not trying to-
01:06:28Dorian, don't fall for her act.
01:06:30She is just a spoiled, materialistic snob who insists on giving birth in the most expensive hospital.
01:06:40You're right, Mom.
01:06:41Iris,
01:06:42stop acting like the victim.
01:06:45You chose this place to show off.
01:06:48Trying to make yourself look rich and important.
01:06:50Look, if you don't want to sign the disclaimer, fine.
01:06:54But don't expect any help from me when the baby comes.
01:06:56So,
01:06:58you would hurt your back on your baby
01:07:01because of money.
01:07:07Okay.
01:07:08Fine.
01:07:11Then I will raise this baby on my own.
01:07:13I just slapped the CEO of Cartelier.
01:07:22You didn't just hit me.
01:07:24You destroyed the gift I brought from this Iris.
01:07:28It's not just any tiara.
01:07:30It's a Baltimore tiara.
01:07:31A cultural relic.
01:07:33I paid millions for at Sotheby's.
01:07:36The highest bid.
01:07:38Something you would never afford,
01:07:40even if you sold everything you own.
01:07:41If you're the CEO of Cartelier,
01:07:45and you brought a present
01:07:47for Iris Aster?
01:07:50No way.
01:07:52You morons.
01:07:54You two still don't understand.
01:07:56That man that you mocked
01:07:58for wearing a fake brooch
01:08:00is Alec Aster,
01:08:02chairman of the Aster Dominion,
01:08:04the richest man on Earth
01:08:07with a net worth
01:08:09of over 700 billion.
01:08:12And this
01:08:13is Miss Iris Aster,
01:08:15his only daughter,
01:08:17sole heir to his entire empire.
01:08:20Mr. Aster,
01:08:21you're the world's richest man.
01:08:22That means
01:08:22I could have been son-in-law
01:08:24to the wealthiest man in the world.
01:08:26I would have this whole fortune.
01:08:28It could be mine.
01:08:29You've got some nerve
01:08:34trying to mess
01:08:35with the Bates family.
01:08:38But guess what?
01:08:39It's not gonna work.
01:08:42Come on, Dillon.
01:08:43Come on, Dorian.
01:08:44Come on down.
01:08:46Rip up this fake
01:08:47Monopoly money.
01:08:49Show them what happens
01:08:50when you mess
01:08:51with the Bates family.
01:08:53Dorian,
01:08:54I will give you
01:08:56one final warning.
01:08:57Don't join
01:09:00your mother's temper tantrum.
01:09:02If you do,
01:09:04I promise
01:09:05it will be
01:09:06the end of you.
01:09:08Bullshit.
01:09:09Your empty threats
01:09:10don't scare us.
01:09:13Don't let that bitch
01:09:14deceive you.
01:09:16You don't tear up
01:09:17the cash right now.
01:09:19She's just gonna
01:09:20keep scamming you.
01:09:24Come on.
01:09:25Listen to Mommy.
01:09:27Tear it up.
01:09:28Rip it up.
01:09:29Come on.
01:09:30Do it.
01:09:32Rip it up.
01:09:36Full custody
01:09:37will go to
01:09:39the defendant,
01:09:42Miss Iris Aster.
01:09:43What?
01:09:44No.
01:09:45This is rigged.
01:09:46She paid you all off.
01:09:47I want an appeal.
01:09:48Either give me my daughter
01:09:49or pay me alimony.
01:09:50Felix!
01:09:53Hey, hey, stop.
01:09:56Iris!
01:09:57You still haven't
01:09:58paid me any alimony
01:09:59since we got divorced.
01:10:00That's illegal.
01:10:01Did you forget, Dorian?
01:10:02You were the one
01:10:02that forced me
01:10:03to sign the divorce papers.
01:10:04You clearly stated
01:10:05that you wanted
01:10:06nothing to do
01:10:07with my assets
01:10:08or my debt.
01:10:09Any fortune
01:10:10you pushed away
01:10:11is on you.
01:10:12No, that can't be.
01:10:13It can't be like this.
01:10:14Please, we're family, right?
01:10:27I promise,
01:10:29Dorian and I
01:10:29didn't really mean to hurt you.
01:10:31We didn't actually know
01:10:32who you were
01:10:33after three years together.
01:10:35Do you think you can find it
01:10:36in your heart
01:10:37to just let this go?
01:10:40How dare you kid trip
01:10:43Miss Aster.
01:10:45Didn't you say
01:10:46that you hated me?
01:10:47That you never wanted
01:10:48to see me again?
01:10:52Iris, Iris, baby.
01:10:54Iris.
01:10:55This is all my fault.
01:10:56I know I messed up
01:10:57and I'm sorry.
01:10:58Really.
01:10:59You used to love me.
01:11:00Doesn't that still mean anything?
01:11:02Are you really gonna
01:11:02let me go to jail?
01:11:04Or put our daughter?
01:11:05She needs to see her dad.
01:11:06I swear.
01:11:08I will never listen
01:11:09to another word
01:11:10my mom says.
01:11:11From now on,
01:11:12I will only listen to you.
01:11:13You almost got
01:11:14our baby killed
01:11:15because you couldn't
01:11:16stand up to your own mother.
01:11:18And you have the nerve
01:11:19to ask that of me?
01:11:21You're a bastard,
01:11:22Dorian.
01:11:25We're done.
01:11:27Marrying you
01:11:28was the worst mistake
01:11:30that I ever made
01:11:31in my entire life.
01:11:32Wait, mom.
01:11:41So you're saying
01:11:41the cash, jewelry,
01:11:42even the trust fund?
01:11:43They're all fake?
01:11:44Don't be silly, Dorian.
01:11:47If he really had money,
01:11:49why would he be wearing
01:11:51a fake brooch?
01:11:54That's enough.
01:11:55My best friend, Sadie,
01:11:57is Cartelier, California's,
01:11:59regional manager.
01:12:01I'll just give her a call,
01:12:02tell her to come down here
01:12:04to prove that this is a fake.
01:12:07Sadie, it's me.
01:12:10I have someone here
01:12:11with a blatant fake
01:12:13Cartelier brooch.
01:12:15I need you to come down here
01:12:17to prove that it's a counterfeit.
01:12:20Well, the craftsmanship
01:12:29on this brooch
01:12:31is impeccable, I must say.
01:12:33However, we don't make
01:12:35cheetah brooches
01:12:36with a white diamond.
01:12:38Tessa, this is counterfeit.
01:12:42Tell me where you got it
01:12:43so that I can trace it
01:12:44back to its source.
01:12:45Where do you think?
01:12:47From Iris' wannabe rich daddy
01:12:51over there.
01:12:53And, get this,
01:12:54he also showed up
01:12:56with several million dollars
01:12:58in cash,
01:12:59property, deeds, jewelry.
01:13:01I mean, can you believe
01:13:02this guy?
01:13:04Well, I'll be damned.
01:13:08I can't believe the nerve
01:13:10of them to try and pull
01:13:11a fast one on you
01:13:13like this.
01:13:13I can confidently say
01:13:15that all of this stuff
01:13:17you see here,
01:13:18everything,
01:13:20it's all fake.
01:13:23Fake, you say?
01:13:28Then let's double check.
01:13:37Iris, I believed you back then.
01:13:39I thought you left your family
01:13:40because you love me.
01:13:42Turns out,
01:13:42you're actually just
01:13:43a shameless fraud
01:13:43this whole time.
01:13:44Dorian, can you just,
01:13:46please, just use your
01:13:48freaking brain for once.
01:13:50You do not have anything
01:13:51that is worth stealing
01:13:53in the first place.
01:13:54I was the one that covered
01:13:56all of our household bills
01:13:57and expenses.
01:13:58I was the one that covered
01:13:59our mortgage
01:14:00and our car.
01:14:01Everything.
01:14:02You know what?
01:14:04I'm done.
01:14:05I am tired
01:14:07and I am exhausted
01:14:09and I really do not
01:14:10want to deal with you
01:14:11right now.
01:14:12Actually, you know what?
01:14:14Starting today, Dorian,
01:14:16you mean nothing to me
01:14:18and to my child.
01:14:21Let's go, Dad.
01:14:23Hey!
01:14:24Stop right there!
01:14:26You can get divorced,
01:14:27but this baby
01:14:28belongs to our family
01:14:30and it's not going
01:14:31anywhere.
01:14:33You out of your mind,
01:14:34let me go!
01:14:34Ah!
01:14:38Iris!
01:14:46Oh, my God!
01:14:47Watch your checker!
01:14:48Please!
01:14:49Please!
01:14:49Let's go, Dad.
01:15:19Elsie Iris first, you wait here.
01:15:26Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.
01:15:32Dorian, what happened to you?
01:15:34Okay, I'm about to pay for it.
01:15:42Hi, could you settle the bill with us, please?
01:15:46See? She had the cash all along.
01:15:51Women like her always pretend that they're broke until it's time to spend your money.
01:15:57She doesn't feel the pressure now.
01:15:59She's never gonna know what it takes to keep a family afloat.
01:16:03You're right, Mom. You always are.
01:16:05You really are the only person that's truly looking out for me.
01:16:08That's right. My precious baby boy.
01:16:11I'm sorry, ma'am. Your card was declined.
01:16:15You're short about $20,000.
01:16:18If you can't pay, we have to discharge you.
01:16:26This is everything I have left.
01:16:28She really broke.
01:16:30Doesn't make any sense.
01:16:32With her three jobs, she should have saved at least 20 grand.
01:16:35Yeah, well that's because I cover all the household bills.
01:16:38And ever since I got pregnant, everything has been going to prenatal stuff.
01:16:41Vitamins, supplements, hospital visits. I mean, it all adds up, Dorian.
01:16:45What on earth has she been through these past three years?
01:16:49Frank, you just...
01:16:52Please just consider it alone. Just...
01:16:55I swear I'll put you back.
01:16:57Absolutely not.
01:16:59Don't fall for this.
01:17:00Every wife stashes emergency cash.
01:17:04Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?
01:17:07Do you think it's her only one?
01:17:09She's still hiding money. I know she is.
01:17:18I'm refiling for divorce.
01:17:19You can file for whatever you want, Dorian, but I recommend getting a lawyer.
01:17:23I'm suing you for defamation and for violating federal securities laws.
01:17:28Thanks to you, the Astrodominion has lost over 10 billion in market value.
01:17:32Which you will pay off in prison.
01:17:34Iris, my baby, please.
01:17:36Don't do this.
01:17:37It would be heartless to let our daughter grow up without her father.
01:17:40A greedy, selfish father would ruin our daughter.
01:17:45She'd be better off with one.
01:17:47Right, Dorian?
01:17:49That baby would end up just like its mom.
01:17:51Another greedy, lying con artist.
01:17:53Better to just not have it in the first place.
01:17:58Get off me.
01:18:01Everything's going to be different now, Ivy.
01:18:04Mommy Carlos is a brand new start.
01:18:28Who says I came empty handed?
01:18:31Oh, please.
01:18:33Look at these fake designer clothes.
01:18:36So, uh, my clothes are fake now?
01:18:39No shit they are.
01:18:41Cartelier is a Parisian jewelry brand, and you are wearing a blatant counterfeit of their cheetah brooch.
01:18:51Their most iconic item.
01:18:53If everything that you were wearing were legit, your outfit would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
01:18:59If you really had the means to afford top of the line stuff, why would Iris leave her family and work three jobs just to support herself?
01:19:12My baby girl, you've been through so much these last few years.
01:19:18Shut up!
01:19:20Ugh!
01:19:21Don't yell at me, you shrew!
01:19:24Dorian and I get to decide where and when that baby gets born.
01:19:30Looks like the only way to get you two to shut up is to bring out my gifts.
01:19:43Eric, bring the gifts in.
01:19:46Now.
01:19:47You are still keeping up that act?
01:19:51We're here, boss.
01:20:04Did you hire a group of actors?
01:20:08Did you really think that we were gonna fall for this?
01:20:11Iris, this entire thing started just because I wanted you to save a little money.
01:20:15Are you seriously blowing it this far out of proportion?
01:20:17No, no, no, sweetie.
01:20:19Leave it.
01:20:20I'm actually dying to see what luxury gifts this 20 grand in debt broke old bum brought with him.
01:20:41You didn't speak a single word in Iris' defense today.
01:20:47If you just stood up for your wife, this could have all belonged to you.
01:20:51You're supposed to be my daughter's husband, my grandchild's father.
01:20:56But you just stood there while your crazy mother tormented Iris and put the baby at risk.
01:21:05You are a goddamn coward!
01:21:09Mom, look what you've done. This is all your fault.
01:21:13Dorian, don't be rash. Think about it.
01:21:17If Iris really was filthy rich, why would she need to take out a loan?
01:21:23Why would she need to work three jobs just to pay for the wedding?
01:21:29No. We're getting played.
01:21:32Iris and her father are putting on an act.
01:21:36Oh, stay back!
01:21:42Don't take one more step.
01:21:45What? You're gonna beat up an old lady in front of all these witnesses?
01:21:50You stole from me, okay?
01:21:53The thief doesn't get to play the victim.
01:21:57You actually had me there, old man.
01:22:01For a second.
01:22:02I actually thought that you were rich.
01:22:05But look what we have here.
01:22:07A fake Cartelier brooch.
01:22:10It's a fake?
01:22:11As fake as they come.
01:22:13My best friend is Cartelier California's regional manager.
01:22:18You see, Cartelier cheetah brooches have red ruby eyes and black diamond bodies.
01:22:28But yours has white diamonds.
01:22:31It's nothing but a shoddy knockoff.
01:22:35And if this is fake, then all those other luxury gifts are fake as well.
01:22:42I said I want you to sign this disclaimer that exempts Dorian from any liability for your debt.
01:22:54No way! I am not just having this baby alone. I mean, this is Dorian's child too!
01:23:00And more importantly, this child isn't yours!
01:23:03The financial decisions are solely between my husband and I.
01:23:08How dare you raise your voice to me?
01:23:12Do you think you're hot shit just cause Dorian knocked you up?
01:23:16You are nothing but a disrespectful little brat speaking to your mother-in-law that way.
01:23:22Iris, seriously, you should treat my mother with more respect.
01:23:26Are you hearing this? I was just standing here sticking up for you and then she gives me this attitude.
01:23:32Once she pushes the baby out, you're gonna need to put your foot down with her.
01:23:38Iris, you've already taken out the loan. So why are you dragging your feet signing the disclaimer?
01:23:47Sign the damn disclaimer!
01:23:49You two are unbelievable. This baby has your family's DNA.
01:23:54Refusing financial liability is one thing, but putting her health at risk right before birth? It's diabolical.
01:24:03Like my mom said, all pregnancies come with some level of risk, but you don't see every pregnant woman spending a fortune, do you?
01:24:10If Iris wants to stay in this plush-ass hospital, then she can cough up the cash for it.
01:24:15Bastard!
01:24:17Oh! Don't fight them, it's not worth it, okay?
01:24:21Dorian, I will sign the disclaimer.
01:24:25But you have to promise me that you will not tell my dad.
01:24:30I don't want him to worry about me.
01:24:33It took a long time to get him to accept you.
01:24:37And with his baby, he's born. I just wanted to have a complete family.
01:24:43What does Iris' dad do?
01:24:45Not sure. I only met him once. Just seemed like your average Joe.
01:24:49So he's just a nobody?
01:24:52Huh.
01:24:53Except Dorian.
01:24:55Who the hell does your father think he is?
01:24:58Some billionaire CEO.
01:25:00He's just a broke-ass bum who didn't even go to his daughter's wedding.
01:25:06He doesn't give a damn about you.
01:25:10He never even loved you anyways.
01:25:12He doesn't give any.
01:25:14But I get to the end of this thing anyway.
01:25:16I don't even love you anyway.
01:25:17Bye.
01:25:19Bye.
01:25:20Bye.
01:25:21Bye.
01:25:23Bye.
01:25:24Bye.
01:25:25Bye.
01:25:26Bye.
01:25:27Bye.
01:25:29Bye.
01:25:30Bye.
01:25:31Bye.
01:25:33Bye.
01:25:34Bye.
01:25:35Bye.
01:25:37Bye.
01:25:38Bye.
01:25:39Bye.
01:25:40Bye.
01:25:41Bye.
