00:11:35you
00:11:38you
00:11:39you
00:11:40you
00:11:40you
00:11:40you
00:11:41I'm sorry
00:11:43I didn't mean to yell at you
00:11:48I just can't stand and think
00:11:55about a mother abandoning their child
00:11:58Have you ever
00:12:03Have you ever thought about it from the mother's point of view?
00:12:09What do you mean?
00:12:12I mean, have you ever realized why a mother might do it?
00:12:16There could be many reasons
00:12:17No
00:12:18No, Willie
00:12:20No reason will ever be good enough
00:12:24If I could find that orphan's mother
00:12:27I would have them arrested immediately
00:12:30A mother who disowns their child can never be forgiven
00:12:45I would know
00:12:48It happened to me
00:12:51My mother left me days after I was born
00:12:58Without even a name
00:13:00The priest who found me was named Michael
00:13:02Because of the angel
00:13:04I was lucky enough to be adopted by the Thompsons
00:13:11But I never forgot about my mother not wanting me
00:13:14When Jamie came along
00:13:17We bonded instantly
00:13:19Target
00:13:20Jamie was even more determined than I was to deal with his mother
00:13:26Can you help me with something?
00:13:29Anything
00:13:29You know that
00:13:30God
00:13:31I want to find my mother
00:13:33And kill her
00:13:36Back the fuck up
00:14:00You know me?
00:14:03No
00:14:04I don't know
00:14:10You remember having a son?
00:14:14Do you?
00:14:15I think so
00:14:17Well
00:14:18I'm him
00:14:19You strung out bitch
00:14:22I want you to apologize to me
00:14:24For leaving me
00:14:25In the fucking cardboard box
00:14:27In the fucking gutter
00:14:28I'm sorry
00:14:30I'm sorry
00:14:32I was sick
00:14:33I didn't know what to do
00:14:35She's useless
00:14:36Let's go
00:14:40Excuse me
00:14:45Do you have any money?
00:14:49I can do anything
00:14:50For you
00:14:52I can never hear that story
00:15:02I've spent my entire life
00:15:07Trying
00:15:08To understand how a mother could be so horrible
00:15:11There's no excuse
00:15:15I really hate mothers who abandon their children that much
00:15:20Honey
00:15:26Honey
00:15:27Let's
00:15:32Let's
00:15:33Not talk about something
00:15:36So dark
00:15:39During our honeymoon
00:15:41Okay?
00:15:44This is supposed to be a very
00:15:46Very
00:15:49Very
00:15:50Very
00:15:51Lamentable
00:15:52I'll stay bound to take
00:15:59All life again
00:16:03Cause yours and yours and mine
00:16:09I'll hold safe and sound.
00:16:18Every moment, every chance I'll be there with the keys to your heart.
00:16:28Every single day I will ask you to say these five lines to your love.
00:16:36Honey, I know a way to make our situation better.
00:16:57I was going to wait until after the honeymoon to tell you this, but I think now is the perfect time.
00:17:04Tell me what?
00:17:08Well, you know I love you.
00:17:12And you love me.
00:17:14Yes, of course.
00:17:18Good.
00:17:18Well, then I think that we should adopt a child immediately.
00:17:26Someone who needs us.
00:17:28Someone who deserves a second chance to die.
00:17:30Why now?
00:17:36I mean, we just got married.
00:17:38There's no reason to wait.
00:17:40I have all the money that we could ever need.
00:17:43And this child could have the greatest parents they could ever hope for.
00:17:46Maybe we could talk about it in a month.
00:17:51You.
00:17:54You promised me as my wife to love me and to obey me.
00:18:01So I'm telling you, we will do this and do it immediately.
00:18:11Do you understand, honey?
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:16I understand.
00:18:17I understand.
00:18:17I understand.
00:18:17I understand.
00:18:31You must be the Thompsons.
00:18:34I'm Lisa Bennett.
00:18:35It's exciting to have someone of your stature and wealth willing to help one of our orphans.
00:18:39No, we're excited to get started.
00:18:41Can we see the children now?
00:18:42Right this way.
00:18:48Hi.
00:18:49Hello.
00:18:56Hi.
00:18:56Hi there.
00:18:57Hi.
00:18:57Hi there.
00:19:01They're great.
00:19:14These are excellent.
00:19:22Hello there.
00:19:23Hello.
00:19:25You're very pretty.
00:19:29We used to set the shoes from these ones.
00:19:31I think I'd like to get to know this one better.
00:19:37What's your name?
00:19:38Sophie.
00:19:39Oh.
00:19:40A pretty name for a pretty girl.
00:19:43Hi there, Sophie.
00:19:44Oh!
00:19:47Yeah.
00:19:47Not this one.
00:19:51But...
00:19:51She bit me.
00:19:52Let's go.
00:19:53Let's go.
00:19:53Let's go.
00:20:01Don't forget you promised to buy me a new MacBook today.
00:20:16This is more important.
00:20:18Mm-hmm.
00:20:19This place is grotesque.
00:20:21I mean, I feel bad for the kitties, but...
00:20:23Ew.
00:20:24Oh, hush.
00:20:25You know you're a softie at heart.
00:20:26Okay, you got me.
00:20:29Show me this kiddo.
00:20:32She's over there.
00:20:42Hello again.
00:20:43Hi.
00:20:44This is my best friend, Karen.
00:20:47Hi there, sweetheart.
00:20:48And I thought that you might want a best friend, too.
00:20:59Now, whatever it costs...
00:21:01I thought that you might want a best friend, too.
00:21:07Now, whatever it costs, I want this adoption approved in a week.
00:21:11We can really do it that fast?
00:21:14Honey, you can do anything with money.
00:21:17Now, which boy do you want?
00:21:20None.
00:21:26Is this who you bought the toy for?
00:21:29Because I already told you no.
00:21:36Sweetheart, I'm so sorry that this isn't for you.
00:21:40Oh, my God.
00:21:51Oh, my God.
00:22:10She's going to be okay.
00:22:15What happens?
00:22:17We're honestly not sure, but...
00:22:20Her vitals all look normal.
00:22:22Maybe she was just exhausted.
00:22:24Or so scared she had a panic attack.
00:22:27It's also a possibility.
00:22:28This is the child I want to adopt.
00:22:36Why are you so determined about this girl?
00:22:39You said you wanted to give someone a second chance, right?
00:22:43Well, who better than a little girl who really needs us?
00:22:47And this will make you happy?
00:22:55Yes.
00:22:57Fine.
00:23:00I can't say no to you.
00:23:04I'm going to go call Karen.
00:23:05Just hold on one moment.
00:23:13I didn't want to concern her, but a fencing spell like this...
00:23:18It's not good.
00:23:20You should take Sophie in for some real tests as soon as possible.
00:23:25This could be serious.
00:23:26It could be something deadly.
00:23:42My God, I never expected this much.
00:23:46The city and the judge also received donations.
00:23:48Are we good?
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:51Great.
00:23:52Then get Sophie ready.
00:23:53We're taking her home tonight.
00:23:55Okay.
00:23:56I'll bring her things upstairs.
00:24:19Here you are, Sophie.
00:24:22This is your new home.
00:24:24It's so big.
00:24:25Well, that just means more places to play hide-and-seek.
00:24:29But that's for tomorrow.
00:24:31Now we've got to get you ready for bed.
00:24:33What's wrong, Willie?
00:24:39What's wrong, Willie?
00:24:52Are you okay?
00:24:53Okay.
00:24:53I'll get it.
00:25:00I'll get it.
00:25:01You must be my new granddaughter.
00:25:13Maybe.
00:25:13Maybe.
00:25:14I'll get it.
00:25:15Bye.
00:25:16Bye.
00:25:17This is my mother, Evelyn.
00:25:18Say hello.
00:25:19Hello.
00:25:20Now, go play in your room.
00:25:22Goodbye.
00:25:26Well, this is a moment to celebrate.
00:25:28I called you here because I called you here because I need to know what happened to my child.
00:25:39What do you mean?
00:25:40She just left.
00:25:42I mean my actual baby.
00:25:45The one with the dove birthmark.
00:25:47Why would you bring up that mistake?
00:25:52Because Sophie has the same birthmark.
00:25:58Is it possible to...
00:26:00Stop it.
00:26:00Right now.
00:26:01Darling, you do realize that you have everything now, and it would all vanish if this little slip was to get out.
00:26:27So have a drink with me.
00:26:28Let's look at this nonsense, okay?
00:26:43I think I should tell Michael.
00:26:58You're not telling anyone, anything.
00:27:17That was just a sedative in your drink.
00:27:19But I could have made it poisoned.
00:27:21Do you think that I went through all that effort to make you the perfect bride, so that you could throw it away just when you had it all?
00:27:39Just when we had everything we've always wanted?
00:27:43I made you, and I could break you just as easily.
00:27:55If you accidentally died, Michael would still pay for my life as his new daughter's helpful grandmother.
00:28:07I care about that more than I care about you.
00:28:13Do you understand?
00:28:15Do you?
00:28:16Wonderful seeing you, dear.
00:28:23Make sure that your new brat is ready for her first play date with her grandma.
00:28:29Play date?
00:28:31Who do you think is going to train the next generation the right way?
00:28:34And that's when he told me how much he hates mothers who abandon their kids.
00:28:54That's a lot for your honeymoon.
00:28:56It's such a big deal.
00:28:57No, honey, it's not.
00:29:00You're never going to abandon Sophie, so you'll never have to worry about it.
00:29:06But I did abandon my child.
00:29:08That was your mother being the cruelest bitch on the planet.
00:29:12But I let her.
00:29:14No one else knows, so it'll never haunt you.
00:29:19It might.
00:29:22I adopted my own daughter.
00:29:25What?
00:29:27What are you talking about?
00:29:29Jack alert.
00:29:35My, my, two beautiful women right where I want them.
00:29:41Why don't you show me a good time right now?
00:29:43Are you nuts?
00:29:44We're in a salon.
00:29:46Oh, please.
00:29:47I'll just buy it out and close it down for the day.
00:29:48Done it before.
00:29:52Yeah, I'm going to pass because I just got a good look at your crotch.
00:29:55And I don't see anything of mention.
00:29:57That wasn't very nice.
00:30:00Bad girl.
00:30:06Jamie.
00:30:07Forgive me, babe.
00:30:08If I give you a real kiss, will you leave us alone today?
00:30:13A French kiss.
00:30:15Fine.
00:30:16Come on, Rick.
00:30:24Come on, Rick.
00:30:32Now that I had a taste, I want the whole meal.
00:30:34Not today.
00:30:34You have to stay away from Jamie.
00:30:45He triggers all my danger signs.
00:30:47He should.
00:30:48But I can handle him.
00:30:50And you have to keep him away from Sophie, too.
00:30:53He's dangerous to anyone.
00:30:55Period.
00:30:55Sophie, are you okay?
00:30:58I didn't get to finish my haircut.
00:30:59We'll stop at my favorite place downtown, okay?
00:31:01Okay, thanks, Mom.
00:31:05You want to get some ice cream?
00:31:07Yay!
00:31:08Last one to get to the ice cream shop only gets vanilla.
00:31:10Time to take my favorite granddaughter out for pizza.
00:31:35Pizza?
00:31:35Really?
00:31:36Sure.
00:31:37Let's bond over pepperoni.
00:31:39I already had dinner planned for tonight.
00:31:42Some other time, perhaps.
00:31:43Now, now.
00:31:44You wouldn't want to disappoint me, would you?
00:31:45Or your daughter.
00:31:47You want pizza, don't you?
00:31:49I sure do.
00:31:50Please, Mom.
00:31:51Who could say no to such a cute face?
00:31:54Head out to my car.
00:31:55I'll be out there in a second.
00:31:58This is why she needs me.
00:32:00If you were strong, you would have stopped me.
00:32:03But you are weak.
00:32:04Look, she needs to know how to deal with people like you.
00:32:09You just proved my point.
00:32:12Do you know what the greatest thing in the whole wide world a woman could do is?
00:32:25Be a mother?
00:32:26If anyone can be a mother, that's nothing special.
00:32:29But only the best women can marry correctly.
00:32:34I don't understand.
00:32:37If a woman is smart, she will make sure that she finds a man that is wealthy, powerful, and capable of taking care of her in any way.
00:32:45Like your mother.
00:32:47She's smart.
00:32:49So, did she just marry Daddy for his money?
00:32:52Not just his money.
00:32:55His money and his power.
00:32:56That's the sweet spot.
00:33:06How was your pizza, honey?
00:33:08You don't love Daddy.
00:33:09You just love his money.
00:33:10I hate you and I never want to speak to you again.
00:33:15Step one of her training is completed.
00:33:19How can you treat your own daughter like this?
00:33:29Like what?
00:33:30Torture me?
00:33:31And turn my own daughter against me?
00:33:34Are you that selfish?
00:33:36I simply know what I want.
00:33:39Then know this.
00:33:40You can berate me.
00:33:42You can treat me like I'm stupid and useless.
00:33:44Honey, you are.
00:33:46But understand this.
00:33:48Your interference with Sophie ends right now.
00:33:52Excuse me?
00:33:54Do I need to make myself more clear?
00:33:56Sophie is off limits to you forever.
00:33:59Nothing is off limits.
00:34:02I have been worried about limits since I had your father arrested for domestic violence.
00:34:06You told me he left.
00:34:08He did leave in a police car.
00:34:11And if I could do that to the man of my dreams, what could I not do to someone I despise like you?
00:34:18Oh, you're a shameless monster.
00:34:20Oh, monsters do not exist, honey.
00:34:23I'm just a person.
00:34:25Unafraid to take what's mine.
00:34:28Money.
00:34:29Power.
00:34:30Your child.
00:34:32If I want it, I will have it.
00:34:36You stand in my way at your peril because I will not hesitate.
00:34:39Your 4 p.m. is here.
00:34:48Send him in.
00:34:57Michael, nice to meet you.
00:34:59Daryl, what can I do for you?
00:35:02As you know, I'm a reporter and I want to do a story on you.
00:35:06On you, your wife, and how the richest couple in town has adopted a child.
00:35:10I think a good news story like that is something people will really want.
00:35:14I love the idea.
00:35:16What do you need from me?
00:35:17Access to you and your family to begin with.
00:35:19Done.
00:35:19And I'd love to interview the biological parents, if I could.
00:35:24Carefully, of course.
00:35:26Well, I unfortunately don't have any information on that, but I can't connect you with Elisa Bennett from the Adoption Center, and she should have that info.
00:35:33That would be perfect.
00:35:34I'll head over there right now.
00:35:35Great.
00:35:38So, you don't have anything at all?
00:35:51I've never seen a child with this little info.
00:35:54We don't even know where she was born or how she got into the system.
00:35:57That's unusual?
00:35:58Yes.
00:35:59Normally, we at least have a record of how the child was found.
00:36:02For Sophie, we only have her birthday, and that's because the doctor examined her and confirmed it.
00:36:06Can you dig a bit deeper and see if something's hidden or lost somewhere?
00:36:11It's against policy.
00:36:13The only person who could sign off on that is Sophie's biological parents, or Sophie herself when she turns 18.
00:36:19There's nothing I can do.
00:36:22Then I'll have to do it myself.
00:36:36Karen?
00:36:38Oh, my God.
00:36:40Craig!
00:36:41Yeah, long time.
00:36:42I had no idea you were in town.
00:36:45I travel all over these days.
00:36:47That's what happens when you own the third largest coffee chain in the country.
00:36:50Do you get it?
00:36:51Like, like my last name?
00:36:54Damn.
00:36:55So, you're doing well.
00:36:57You seem surprised.
00:36:57I mean, you were just very different when you were dating Lily.
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:04Speaking of Lily, I actually saw you two a few days ago.
00:37:08You were with a little girl?
00:37:10About nine or ten years old?
00:37:13Little girl?
00:37:14Yeah.
00:37:16She was with you, and you were all laughing?
00:37:18Who is she?
00:37:20Huh.
00:37:20That's a weird question.
00:37:21Why would you ask that?
00:37:23I'm just curious.
00:37:24No need to freak out.
00:37:25I'm not freaking out.
00:37:26What?
00:37:26Who's freaking out?
00:37:28Why don't you just stay out of our business, okay?
00:37:30I didn't ask you any weird questions.
00:37:32Gosh.
00:37:38The hell is going on here?
00:37:45Ready to hang out with Aunt Karen?
00:37:47You bet.
00:37:48You guys are going to have so much fun.
00:37:50I'll get it.
00:37:53Well, hello, family-in-laws.
00:37:57Well, Michael told me that he was on a business trip, so he sent me to look after you two.
00:38:05And I promised him we'd have a lot of fun together.
00:38:08Sorry.
00:38:08We're busy this week.
00:38:10Well, hello.
00:38:12I'm your Uncle Jamie.
00:38:14It's time to go.
00:38:15Head to the car.
00:38:16Don't you ever speak to her again.
00:38:31Don't you ever speak to her again.
00:38:33Lily, you can't come to the mall today.
00:38:54Maybe never again.
00:38:55Call me when you get this.
00:38:56Lily, you can't come to the mall today.
00:39:04Maybe never again.
00:39:05Greg is back in town.
00:39:07I just ran into him, and he owns a whole chain of coffee shops, and there's one in the mall.
00:39:11And he was interested in Sophie, and you know I can't lie, so I just ran.
00:39:15And we both know that Sophie's real father can't find out she exists.
00:39:21He's coming this way.
00:39:22I gotta go.
00:39:23Call me when you get this.
00:39:26Oh, Lily's got the secret, and I know what it is.
00:39:47Whoa, I'm close.
00:39:49You haven't played this one?
00:39:51No, I haven't.
00:39:52It may be better.
00:39:53Okay, but I'm going to win.
00:39:56Sophie!
00:40:02Sophie!
00:40:03Sophie, are you okay?
00:40:06Somebody help!
00:40:08Somebody!
00:40:08Stay gone.
00:40:26You very likely have a concussion.
00:40:28Where's Sophie?
00:40:30Look, you need to remain calm.
00:40:32Remain still.
00:40:34Okay?
00:40:35Is there any pain in your neck?
00:40:36My neck is fine.
00:40:38What about your head?
00:40:39It hurts.
00:40:41Where is my daughter?
00:40:43They're still checking her.
00:40:45I need you to remain calm until they're done, okay?
00:40:49Doctor, let's help her relax.
00:40:52There we go.
00:40:54No, I need to see my daughter.
00:40:55I need you to remain calm until they're done.
00:41:11Mommy!
00:41:12Oh, baby.
00:41:16I'm so happy to see you.
00:41:19Hey, it's okay.
00:41:21It's okay.
00:41:22How are you?
00:41:26They keep taking me for more tests.
00:41:30What are you talking about?
00:41:33She'll be fine.
00:41:35I brought you a change of clothes.
00:41:37They called me when they couldn't reach Michael.
00:41:40But don't worry, Sophie and I have been having some very lovely conversations, haven't we?
00:41:44She is coming along so very well.
00:41:55Lily Thompson.
00:41:56I'm Dr. Emily Cotter.
00:41:58I'm a pediatric doctor.
00:42:01Is my daughter okay?
00:42:03That's what we had been looking into.
00:42:05With her second bar of unconsciousness, they called me to do a more thorough examination.
00:42:10Yeah, she said you did test after test.
00:42:13You scared her badly.
00:42:15Having a young girl pass out twice in a few weeks is equally scary.
00:42:20We had to find out what was happening.
00:42:23I didn't know.
00:42:24Lily, please sit down, Mrs. Thompson.
00:42:35What's wrong with Sophie?
00:42:37She is very, very sick.
00:42:40She has bone cancer.
00:42:41Bone cancer?
00:42:47She has tumors growing inside of her because her bone marrow isn't working correctly.
00:42:52How deadly is it?
00:42:54Without immediate intervention, it's fatal.
00:42:58What can we do?
00:43:00We can start her on chemo and radiation, but the best chance she has is to get a bone marrow transplant.
00:43:07Yeah, let's do that.
00:43:10My husband can pay for anything we need.
00:43:12Great.
00:43:13Then we'll get her biological parents down here for tests immediately.
00:43:17Why do you need her biological parents?
00:43:20Because they are likely to be her best match.
00:43:23We don't know her parents.
00:43:27Then Sophie goes on a two-year waiting list.
00:43:30She doesn't have that long.
00:43:32You'd better try and find her parents, because otherwise, the daughters, they were likely going to die.
00:43:37Do not let that book fall for any reason.
00:43:49Even when I turn?
00:43:51Sorry.
00:43:52Never apologize.
00:43:53Do you want to walk like a woman of wealth or not?
00:43:58Sophie, go to your room.
00:43:59What is wrong with you?
00:44:03Sophie has bone cancer.
00:44:05She's going to die unless she gets bone marrow from a parent.
00:44:09Don't you get it from me?
00:44:13Do not, under any circumstances, tell anyone who you are.
00:44:17Ever.
00:44:18Why not?
00:44:21I am your mother.
00:44:23I will get you what you need without anyone being the wise.
00:44:29Honey, what's wrong?
00:44:34Sophie passed out again.
00:44:37They ran tests and...
00:44:39And...
00:44:40Hey, hey.
00:44:41I'm here now.
00:44:43It's okay.
00:44:44Just take a deep breath.
00:44:48I'm so happy you're back.
00:44:51Sophie's really sick.
00:44:54Tell me everything.
00:44:59I will find Sophie's biological parents.
00:45:09I don't know how.
00:45:10I promise you.
00:45:12I will not let our little girl down.
00:45:14You hear me?
00:45:15I won't.
00:45:16How will you even begin to find them?
00:45:18I can't.
00:45:19But I know somebody who can.
00:45:21Michael's asked me to track down the biological parents.
00:45:29My question to you is this.
00:45:31How could there be no records of her actual birth when we know that she was born on the same day that she ended up at the orphanage?
00:45:38The only way that could happen is if someone in the actual hospital system erased the records by hand.
00:45:47So you're saying if it happened at this hospital, you could do it?
00:45:50Yes.
00:45:51So could any doctor or nurse who has access to whatever hospital where she was born.
00:45:57But there has to be something left.
00:45:58Nothing is lost forever in a digital world.
00:46:00If there is a way, I'm afraid I don't know it.
00:46:04I have patients to attend to, so...
00:46:07Of course.
00:46:09Thank you, doctor.
00:46:18We have to do it again.
00:46:22We said we wouldn't.
00:46:23We don't have a choice.
00:46:24I'll get it.
00:46:34Oh, hello, cutie.
00:46:38What do you want this time?
00:46:42I just want to talk about a certain phone call that your friend Karen made.
00:46:46What call?
00:46:47The one about your secret past and all.
00:46:50Sophie, outside and play.
00:46:53But I don't want...
00:46:54Now.
00:46:54You have one minute to explain yourself.
00:47:00Easy there, you little slut.
00:47:02I'm not the one that had a kid without telling my husband.
00:47:05And then later adopting that kid.
00:47:09And hiding the truth from my dear brother.
00:47:14Are you going to tell him?
00:47:16Not unless you have a more personal option.
00:47:19That'll make me happy.
00:47:20So what's going to be?
00:47:25What's going to be?
00:47:25How did you find me?
00:47:34How did you find me?
00:47:49You've gotten things from half the places at the mall.
00:47:51I called him a favor with a friend at Tiffany's and boom.
00:47:55Here we are.
00:47:57Nice going, detective.
00:47:58Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:48:01Sure.
00:48:02As soon as you tell me what made you so scared when I mentioned that girl the other day.
00:48:06It's none of your business now.
00:48:07It's none of your business now.
00:48:09What do you mean, now?
00:48:12I'll stick on you every day until you tell me.
00:48:17Fine.
00:48:18That girl's name is Sophie.
00:48:21Lily adopted her.
00:48:22That's it?
00:48:24Lily got married.
00:48:26So the child was the next step.
00:48:27Sure, but Lily adopted her own child.
00:48:32Yeah, but that kid's like 10.
00:48:36She was dating me then.
00:48:40Exactly.
00:48:42Sophie's my child?
00:48:44Karen, are you ready to go?
00:48:48What did you do?
00:48:53You got something to tell me?
00:48:55Hi, Greg.
00:48:58Karen, I'll meet you in the car.
00:48:59Okay.
00:49:02I'm so sorry.
00:49:10I never meant for you to hear it this way.
00:49:13Just tell me what happened.
00:49:15We got pregnant.
00:49:17But then Evelyn made me break up with you.
00:49:20That's why you threw me out?
00:49:22Evelyn said that if you found out about the baby, she would steal her the minute she was born.
00:49:26You could have told me at any point in the last 10 years.
00:49:31I know.
00:49:31And then you adopted her to hide it.
00:49:34No.
00:49:35I adopted her by accident.
00:49:37I don't believe you.
00:49:39I want to be a part of her life now.
00:49:42It's the only thing I care about.
00:49:44It's not that easy.
00:49:46Yes, it is.
00:49:48I've lost 10 years with her.
00:49:50I can't just let you see her.
00:49:53Either I get to be her real father, or I blow this all up right now.
00:50:02What are you doing?
00:50:03Michael Thompson, please?
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:06I have a message about his daughter.
00:50:07I have a message about her.
00:50:08I have a message about her.
00:50:09I have a message about her.
00:50:10I have a message about her.
00:50:11I have a message about her.
00:50:12Okay.
00:50:13You can see her.
00:50:15Just give me 24 hours to prepare Sophie and tell Michael.
00:50:2024 hours?
00:50:22Just go home, and I'll call you tomorrow and tell you when to come.
00:50:26You better call.
00:50:31I will.
00:50:38You deserved better.
00:50:47I know.
00:50:56I wasn't sure how to tell you about Sophie, Greg.
00:51:24Thanks to Karen, that's all taken care of.
00:51:28And it makes your wonderful decision easier.
00:51:33See, Sophie's very sick, and she needs your bone marrow.
00:51:37You can be an amazing father to do the care, willingly.
00:51:43In return, you'll get a million dollars.
00:51:47All you have to do is sign an NDA saying that you won't speak to anyone in Sophie's life,
00:51:52including Sophie, ever.
00:51:54I could put you in a medically induced coma.
00:52:09Harvest your marrow, and then when my granddaughter is dead, for you.
00:52:13What do you say, Greg?
00:52:22Yeah.
00:52:25Help!
00:52:25Somebody help!
00:52:26Help!
00:52:27Help!
00:52:28Help!
00:52:29Oh, no.
00:52:32Idiot.
00:52:32Jamie, could you meet me for a quick chat?
00:52:42You'll be worth your while.
00:52:43Michael, I have some news.
00:52:50A drop of a dose victim just came into the hospital in a coma.
00:52:54We're going to do more tests, but his blood suggests that he might be a great donor for Sophie.
00:53:00I'll let you know, A$AP.
00:53:01So, you're his only next-of-kin, Mr. Smith?
00:53:16That is correct, doctor.
00:53:18You give permission for us to test.
00:53:20Oh, yes.
00:53:21My brother always believed in helping others.
00:53:23He would say yes, if he could.
00:53:25Then, let's get to it.
00:53:37Do you really think this guy will be a match?
00:53:40If he's not, we'll keep looking until we find someone who is.
00:53:43And Daryl is a fantastic investigative reporter.
00:53:47Go find Sophie's parents.
00:53:48I know him.
00:53:50I sort of hope he does.
00:53:51Mommy, Daddy, watch me!
00:53:54Look, I can fly!
00:53:55That's amazing, Sophie.
00:54:00Are you okay, honey?
00:54:02I don't feel so good.
00:54:12We need to take her to the hospital.
00:54:14Now!
00:54:22Dr. Carter needs to see us.
00:54:25Why isn't Sophie woken back up?
00:54:41We have two problems that have converged.
00:54:44First, Sophie's getting worse by the day.
00:54:47If we don't find her a sufficient donor in the next week, it will be too late.
00:54:51Well, what about the potential donor?
00:54:52Well, that's the second problem.
00:54:54He's close, almost like a family member.
00:54:57But he's not close enough.
00:55:03What do we need to do?
00:55:04We really need to find Sophie's mother.
00:55:07No one else will be an effective donor.
00:55:09Dr. Carter, will you excuse us?
00:55:13Of course.
00:55:15Michael, I need to tell you something.
00:55:18There's something you need to know.
00:55:19Hello?
00:55:33It's Lisa.
00:55:35I hacked into the adoption database for the last time I might add.
00:55:38It shows that a woman dropped Sophie off wrapped in a blanket with your hospital's logo on it.
00:55:43It was the only footage from the security cameras.
00:55:45Those logos were only used in the fourth wall word, I think.
00:55:59Just a moment.
00:56:04That's interesting.
00:56:06What?
00:56:07I'll call you back.
00:56:09Mr. Renaud, I have a piece of information for you.
00:56:19Sophie's birth happened at my hospital and it was paid for by someone named Evelyn.
00:56:27What a story this is going to be.
00:56:37I have something to tell you.
00:56:41Okay.
00:56:43I haven't been entirely truthful about my past before we met.
00:56:50Truthful.
00:56:52Well then, let's start being truthful.
00:56:55I was in love once before to a man named Greg.
00:57:09Greg.
00:57:12Do you still love him?
00:57:14Hmm?
00:57:17You're not.
00:57:18No.
00:57:19You're not having an affair with him, are you?
00:57:22What?
00:57:23No.
00:57:25Good.
00:57:26Then this might be great news for you.
00:57:35Is everything okay?
00:57:40Sophie's your actual fucking door?
00:57:47Sophie's your actual fucking door?
00:57:49You had a child with him?
00:57:56Yes, but let me explain.
00:57:57And you abandoned her!
00:57:59No, it's not like that.
00:58:00Did you abandon her, yes or no?
00:58:05It wasn't entirely me's fault.
00:58:13Evelyn?
00:58:13I take it.
00:58:14I take it you had some part of this?
00:58:16Yes.
00:58:19I helped put the child in an orphanage.
00:58:23Oh, only because I really wanted to forget about the whole thing.
00:58:27Forget?
00:58:29You wanted to forget about your daughter?
00:58:32You know what?
00:58:37Yeah.
00:58:38Okay, fine.
00:58:40I'm gonna make all your dreams come true.
00:58:42Forget about Sophie.
00:58:44Because you're never, ever gonna see her again.
00:58:46Everyone, I want you to go to Sophie's room, bring security, and make sure Lily doesn't get anywhere near her.
00:58:57Also, I'm gonna call the judge and get a restraining order.
00:58:59Lily, Lily, Hastings.
00:59:13You know what?
00:59:15Yeah.
00:59:16I know exactly what to do with you.
00:59:20Jamie.
00:59:21Yes?
00:59:23I want you to come on over here.
00:59:25And make sure that truthful Lily here, and make sure she doesn't escape.
00:59:29And, brother, do whatever you need.
00:59:35Did you just say, whatever?
00:59:39You hurt me.
00:59:49Karen, you have to get to Sophie right now.
00:59:52She's safe in the hospital.
00:59:54She's safer with you.
00:59:56Michael knows.
00:59:57And he's gonna cut me off from her forever.
00:59:58On my way.
01:00:01Well, your secret's out.
01:00:02You're a broken woman, and my brother wants nothing to do with you.
01:00:06We will work it out.
01:00:07Oh, you don't know the hatred my brother has for women like you.
01:00:13Now, I can do anything I want.
01:00:17Again.
01:00:18Please, stop.
01:00:20You know, maybe I'll keep you in one of my basement rooms, treat you like my little plaything.
01:00:23That is, until I get bored of you.
01:00:26Oh, don't worry.
01:00:28Sophie's gonna forget about you soon enough.
01:00:30And then, she'll underloved me.
01:00:33Oh, my God.
01:00:34Please stay away from me.
01:01:01Turns out you're just a cheap slut.
01:01:04People will hear you.
01:01:06So what?
01:01:07Michael protects me no matter what I do.
01:01:10Not for hurting you.
01:01:13For anything.
01:01:17I wanted you the moment I laid eyes on you.
01:01:20So that's exactly what I'm gonna get.
01:01:23We're gonna have so much fun together.
01:01:34I never forgot the moment she pulled this on me.
01:01:44So when I saw her purse, I just grabbed it.
01:01:49I'm glad you took it.
01:01:51Me too.
01:01:55I don't ever want to lose you again.
01:02:11I don't ever want to lose you again.
01:02:15You won't.
01:02:16Ever.
01:02:17Again.
01:02:18We can't stay here.
01:02:19Someone must have hurt the shots.
01:02:21Good point.
01:02:22We have to get to Sophie.
01:02:23Either way.
01:02:24Either way.
01:02:25How did you even get here?
01:02:27It's a long story.
01:02:28It's a long story.
01:02:51here. It's a long story. Your name is Greg Benedetti. And you're so his father, right?
01:03:10I knew your supposed brother looked familiar. How did you know who I was? Your bone marrow
01:03:16was a close enough match to get me looking into who they really were. And fortunately
01:03:20for you, you have a donor's bracelet in case if you can't speak or you're in a coma.
01:03:26Once I knew who you were, I just realized that coma had been induced meant I couldn't do it.
01:03:33Okay. Now slowly get up slowly.
01:03:39All right. Do you have any idea where Sophie could have gone? She's just vanished from her room.
01:03:45I've never even met her. Oh, you better find someone who knows.
01:03:48I just saw Soda Slater's blood work and she has only a day or two left.
01:03:56I can't believe my mother would stoop so low.
01:04:00Seems completely on brand to me.
01:04:02Well, we have to figure out where Karen put Sophie before she or my husband figure it out.
01:04:07Otherwise, I'll never see her again.
01:04:10I think we have an answer.
01:04:14Looks like Karen's handiwork, all right.
01:04:16Sorry, I thought you were Michael.
01:04:33Where's Sophie?
01:04:34Lily, we have a problem.
01:04:35She's dying right now.
01:04:52Get this going to the ICU now.
01:04:54She needs a donor right now. Do we have one?
01:05:07Yes, I'm her real mother. Test me.
01:05:10I'll ask you how that happened later. Right now, let's get you tested.
01:05:13Don't let that woman near my daughter.
01:05:18Nonsense. She's going to save her life, Mr. Thompson.
01:05:21I don't care.
01:05:22She abandoned Sophie and she won't hurt her again.
01:05:24What she's doing right now, it will be helping.
01:05:27There's no helping the damage that's caused by abandoning your own child.
01:05:31But I'll make sure there's no damage caused further.
01:05:35Sit.
01:05:35Sit.
01:05:38Now.
01:05:51Michael, we need Lily's bone marrow, but that's all we need.
01:05:58I can make sure we get what we need from her without Lily being able to hurt anyone ever again.
01:06:04How?
01:06:05We tell everyone she's been crazy for years and have her committed.
01:06:12We get her bone marrow and then keep her dosed up forever in a battered room.
01:06:19Evelyn, I don't want to walk Lily up.
01:06:22I want to make sure she never sees Sophie again.
01:06:26But if your marrow will save her, you'll give it to her.
01:06:31And then you'll walk away forever.
01:06:33Understood?
01:06:35You say that no mother should abandon their child, but then you try to force me to leave her forever.
01:06:51And you...
01:06:51You weren't the reason I lost my daughter in the first place.
01:06:57If you hadn't threatened to kill Greg if I didn't give you my child, I never would have lost her.
01:07:03What?
01:07:04Is that true?
01:07:05Is that true?
01:07:08You're the reason that all this happened?
01:07:10Lily is making up stories.
01:07:12Clearly, you can see that.
01:07:14I think she believes me.
01:07:15I think she believes me, mother.
01:07:19So what if I did?
01:07:20I was just trying to make sure she was the proper wife for a man of yourself.
01:07:24It was you.
01:07:25You made your daughter who was 10 years with her own.
01:07:33I'll give you the count of three to get the fuck out of this hospital.
01:07:36One.
01:07:37Two.
01:07:50Please.
01:07:52Save our daughter.
01:07:54We'll figure out the rest of her.
01:07:55Let's do it.
01:08:25Okay.
01:08:26If you're a partner so...
01:08:26let's do it.
01:08:28Then, it's a pleasure in a row so you could have made a ward.
01:08:30That's the thing.
01:08:31I would say it's aRPG-Dadores.
01:08:32You don't have to be a kid.
01:08:34I don't look at her.
01:08:35You never think I should be a kid.
01:08:36You just want to be a kid.
01:08:37You don't have to be an kid.
01:08:45You just want to be a kid.
01:08:46You're the one who wants to be a kid.
01:08:49You just want to be an kid.
01:08:51I'll be a kid.
01:08:52Give me an kid.
01:08:54You just want to be a kid.
