Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Take it easy. Mr. Harrington, you should slow down.
00:00:22I worked as his assistant for a year, all because I couldn't stop falling for him.
00:00:26I knew his heart still belonged to another woman, but I kept hoping that maybe, someday, he'd finally turn around and see me.
00:00:36Mr. Harrington, I'll go draw you a bath.
00:00:47You...
00:00:50I'll take care of you.
00:00:56I thought my dream had finally come true, until my daughter was born.
00:01:13That's when I realized, no matter how hard you try, you can never thaw a heart made of ice.
00:01:23It's been seven years and I'm still haunted by that night. Every mistake I've made, it all started with that dream.
00:01:32Mommy, did you have a bad dream?
00:01:36No, no sweetheart, I'm fine.
00:01:38Are we really moving out?
00:01:41But, Daddy hugged me tonight. Does that mean he's starting to like me?
00:01:45Sweetheart, your daddy's true love is coming back, so we can't stay here anymore.
00:01:54But, he gave me the stuffed bunny tonight. If he didn't like me, why would he buy me a gift?
00:02:01Should I tell her Richard's only happy because his one true love is coming back from abroad? Or, her gift came from another woman's shadow?
00:02:10Daddy, you're home!
00:02:15Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?
00:02:19How many times must I say this? She is never to call me Dad!
00:02:24I'm sorry Uncle Richard.
00:02:31You don't have to like me, but Amy is your daughter. How could you hurt her like this?
00:02:36You're the one who climbed into my bed and used your pregnancy to trap me into a marriage.
00:02:44Is that your idea of not hurting your daughter?
00:02:48I've already explained it a thousand times. It only happened that night because you were-
00:02:52Enough!
00:02:54I don't want to hear it anymore.
00:02:55It's all my fault.
00:02:57Mommy, I'll go return. Please stop fighting.
00:03:04Who told you you could have this?
00:03:06Tell your daughter to keep her hands off of things that don't belong to her.
00:03:12So that's it. The gift was meant for his true love's daughter all along.
00:03:16Is Amy really that worthless in his eyes?
00:03:21Don't be Amy.
00:03:24Amy, what if we leave Uncle Richard together?
00:03:29Will you come with Mommy?
00:03:31Can we stay?
00:03:32You saved him and let me call him Dad once.
00:03:35He doesn't want us here.
00:03:38Mommy can take you away.
00:03:40Can we give Uncle Richard three more chances?
00:03:43If he really doesn't like us, we'll leave him.
00:03:47We're good.
00:03:51Okay.
00:03:52Richard Arrington, my daughter and I are giving you three more chances.
00:04:01After that, you'll have no place in our home. Ever.
00:04:04Of...
00:04:09Zoe!
00:04:10Are you really quitting the job?
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:14Um...
00:04:15Amy's father is abroad, so I'm taking her to go.
00:04:18Join him.
00:04:19I know it must have been tough raising Amy alone.
00:04:31Zoe! Did you see that?
00:04:33Mr. Harrington, our Iceberg CEO, is bringing someone with him for the first time ever.
00:04:38Evelyn York. She really is stunning.
00:04:48No wonder Richard's never gotten over her all these years.
00:04:52Even when he was drunk, he was still calling her name in my bed.
00:04:56Who is that girl?
00:04:58She looks really close to Mr. Harrington.
00:05:01Could she be the future Mrs. Harrington?
00:05:03Everyone, I'd like to make an announcement.
00:05:07Miss Evelyn York here will be joining us at the company and taking the position as my new personal assistant.
00:05:13Zoe, what are you going to do if she takes your place as his assistant?
00:05:17I'm leaving soon anyways. It's perfect timing for her to show up.
00:05:21I can't believe the Harrington Corp would just parachute someone in like that.
00:05:26Not just someone. She's that one.
00:05:30Wait, isn't Zoe Mr. Harrington's personal assistant?
00:05:35And now Evelyn's here, so what does that mean for Zoe? Will she lose her job?
00:05:40I've been here for years and this is the first time I've ever seen them drop someone in like this.
00:05:45Everyone else started from the bottom and worked their way up.
00:05:48Don't you guys think she looks kind of familiar? Haven't we seen her somewhere before?
00:05:52Wait, isn't she Mr. Harrington's first love?
00:05:55I heard they almost got married once, but she suddenly vanished and Mr. Harrington's been drowning himself in booze over her ever since.
00:06:08Hi, everyone. I'm so excited to be joining the company and becoming part of the Harrington family.
00:06:15I'd really appreciate your guidance as I get settled in.
00:06:21What? Zoe worked herself to the bone bringing in all those big clients to become the CEO's personal assistant.
00:06:29Exactly. Everyone can see how skilled Zoe is. And yet suddenly someone comes along and steals her position. So unfair.
00:06:36I feel so bad for Zoe. Come on, you're near here. Let me show you around.
00:06:41Richard, you've got so much work to do. I don't want to be a burden.
00:06:47Maybe Zoe could show me around?
00:06:51Actually, I've got a lot on my plate right now.
00:07:00Then forget it. Never mind.
00:07:04No, no. Show her around.
00:07:07It won't take too much of your time.
00:07:13Hi.
00:07:14This is the conference room. I've shown you everything you need to see.
00:07:24You get it now, don't you, Zoe?
00:07:28No matter how hard you work, in Richard's heart, I'm the one that matters the most.
00:07:35What? Can't handle the truth?
00:07:38Well, he's just using you for pleasure.
00:07:46One call for me and he flies overseas just to see me.
00:07:50Then I wish you too a lifetime of happiness.
00:07:53For as long as you both shall live.
00:07:57You're saying one thing and doing another.
00:08:01You think I don't see right through you, you two-faced slut.
00:08:05How else do you think you got pregnant?
00:08:11I almost feel sorry for your daughter.
00:08:14She's Richard's blood and yet he treats my daughter like she's his own.
00:08:20Do you know why that is?
00:08:22Well, if you're so confident, then why don't you convince Richard to make you his wife?
00:08:28Unless, of course, you're hiding something.
00:08:32What are you so afraid of?
00:08:33What am I afraid of?
00:08:34What am I afraid of?
00:08:36The one who should be afraid is you.
00:08:46Zoe!
00:08:47Are you okay?
00:09:02I'm fine, Richard.
00:09:05Apologize.
00:09:06I can't believe it took me this long to see how blind you really are.
00:09:17Richard, don't be angry. She didn't mean it. Please, for my sake.
00:09:22The surveillance cameras are on. Why don't you check them before accusing me?
00:09:27Two chances left.
00:09:32Richard, I'm okay.
00:09:33Zoe's probably upset because I took her spot. It was just a slap. Don't start any drama over me.
00:09:47I can't just let this slide. She's already hit you once. Who knows what she'll do next time?
00:09:54I need to teach you a lesson.
00:09:57I'm tired of these little charades.
00:09:59I'm leaving.
00:10:01Excuse me.
00:10:03Zoe!
00:10:05If you walk out those doors, you'll be demoted to a junior assistant.
00:10:11Do whatever you want.
00:10:18Zoe's acting so differently. What's going on with him?
00:10:21What? Is Zoe quitting?
00:10:41Maya, why didn't you tell me Zoe was resigning?
00:10:45Zoe told me not to let Mr. Harrington find out. How did he know?
00:10:50Mr. Harrington, there must be some mistake.
00:10:55Zoe, resign. That's impossible.
00:10:59That's right. She'd never leave me. She loves me too much.
00:11:03Richard, please, don't be so hard on Zoe.
00:11:11Will you come to my place tonight? I want to be with you.
00:11:16Whatever you want.
00:11:18You're so good to me.
00:11:21Spending the night at another woman's place while we're still married? Fine.
00:11:27Soon you'll be free to spend every night with her.
00:11:29Spending the night with her.
00:11:39Mom!
00:11:40Amy!
00:11:42Mom, tomorrow is our open house. Can daddy come?
00:11:44Seven years of marriage and not once since you come to Amy's school. Why would tomorrow be any different?
00:11:53I don't even have a dad.
00:11:54I don't even have a dad. I don't even have a dad. I don't even have a dad. Let daddy come just once. Please.
00:12:05Okay. I'll text him.
00:12:08Amy's school has open house tomorrow. Any chance he could come?
00:12:13Any chance he could come?
00:12:14Hmm.
00:12:19Mom, is daddy too busy to come?
00:12:22I don't know, babe. I'm sorry.
00:12:24I get it. It's okay. Daddy's busy. I understand.
00:12:29Amy.
00:12:33Okay. I'll come.
00:12:35Amy, look. Daddy says I'll come.
00:12:37Yay! Daddy's finally coming to my school for me.
00:12:40Mommy, my teacher said I did really well at school this year.
00:12:43And I get to be a class president this semester.
00:12:45If daddy knew, maybe he'd start liking me, right?
00:12:50Please. Just don't break Amy's heart this time.
00:12:58Mom, daddy's really here.
00:13:03He really came.
00:13:05Let's go over to daddy.
00:13:09Daddy!
00:13:11What did you just call me?
00:13:17What did you just call me?
00:13:19Uncle Richard, you're sitting at the wrong desk.
00:13:23Mine's up front. It's the first time dad actually kept his promise.
00:13:26I feel so happy.
00:13:29This is my seat.
00:13:33Out of the way!
00:13:35This is my dad.
00:13:37So that's it. He came, but not for Amy.
00:13:41He came for Evelyn's daughter.
00:13:43Oh, Lily didn't mean it. I'm sorry.
00:13:47Zoe, you're going to the open house too, right?
00:13:51So, where's her dad?
00:13:53That's her dad.
00:13:56My dad's overseas.
00:13:58It's busy. I didn't want to bother him.
00:14:02Uncle Richard, Mom and I are leaving now. Excuse us.
00:14:07Usually, Amy clings to me no matter what.
00:14:10But today she's pulling away on her own.
00:14:11What's gotten into her?
00:14:13Mom, first he brought that woman to the company and took your spot.
00:14:15And now, he shows up at school for some other kid.
00:14:17Dad only has one more chance left.
00:14:19What did I do to deserve this?
00:14:20Why does my daughter have to suffer?
00:14:21And there's nothing I can do to stop it?
00:14:22Welcome, parents.
00:14:23And thank you all for being here today.
00:14:26I'm sure you want to know how your kids are doing, so let's dive right in.
00:14:32Amy, I heard you, too.
00:14:33You're doing really well in school, right?
00:14:34Quiet, please.
00:14:36I am thrilled to say that all of our pupils have been studying super hard this semester.
00:14:39However, there is one student who has gone above and beyond.
00:14:40And that is Amy Harrington.
00:14:42I am thrilled to say that all of our pupils have been studying super hard this semester.
00:15:01However, there is one student who has gone above and beyond.
00:15:05And that is Amy Harrington.
00:15:09Congratulations, Amy.
00:15:11You have been elected as class president.
00:15:19Why did you get to be class president?
00:15:26Amy, would you like to come up here and say something to everyone?
00:15:34I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:15:35I don't really know what to say.
00:15:37Good night.
00:15:38Oh, Amy, you just need a little more confidence.
00:15:41But no worries.
00:15:43Let's carry on.
00:15:48Amy, don't worry.
00:15:50Mommy will always be with you.
00:15:53Be sad.
00:15:54Hey, what took you so long to get out today?
00:16:00You want to go home together today?
00:16:04By the way, Evelyn's daughter, Lily, she's a transfer student, right?
00:16:08So she never got the chance to run for class president.
00:16:09Amy, do you think maybe you could ask the teacher if she could have the title instead?
00:16:22Of course.
00:16:23Every gift comes with a price.
00:16:25Even this lollipop doesn't come for free.
00:16:29Even this lollipop doesn't come for free.
00:16:35Okay, Uncle Richard.
00:16:36Mom.
00:16:46Richard, help!
00:16:47Lily is sick.
00:16:48Can you come pick us up?
00:16:51Dad!
00:17:00Stay safe.
00:17:01This time, you didn't tell our daughter to call him uncle.
00:17:10But this would be the last time she'd ever call him dad.
00:17:14Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.
00:17:33Next time you come home, the night lights won't be on for you.
00:17:39Mom, let's get ready to board the plane.
00:17:41Okay.
00:17:43Let's go.
00:17:46I wish you happiness.
00:17:48Again, if you are going to Chicago Midway, on top-plus flight 832,
00:17:51delay departure at 725, and flight will be departing now at gate number 15.
00:17:57Gate number 15.
00:18:07Maya?
00:18:09Zoe, please, you've gotta help me.
00:18:11What?
00:18:12What's going on?
00:18:13You remember the project with Mr. Lawrence?
00:18:15We're in the final stages, but now he's heard you're leaving and refuses to sign.
00:18:21If Mr. Harrington finds out about this, I'm finished.
00:18:24Fired.
00:18:26Please.
00:18:27I'm begging you.
00:18:29It's not fair to let someone else take the fall for the mess I left behind.
00:18:33Okay.
00:18:34I'll be back right away.
00:18:35Thank you, Zoe.
00:18:36Thank you so much.
00:18:42Amy?
00:18:44Mommy just has one last thing she has to take care of, okay?
00:18:47We'll leave by tomorrow.
00:18:48I promise.
00:18:49Please.
00:18:51Okay.
00:18:56Once I wrap things up with Mr. Lawrence and seal the deal, I can finally leave for good.
00:19:01Evelyn?
00:19:10This is my seat.
00:19:11Please move.
00:19:12This desk is closest to Richard.
00:19:24I'm his personal assistant now, so naturally, it belongs to me.
00:19:29Sorry.
00:19:30If you want this seat so badly, you can ask Richard for it.
00:19:33But for now, it's mine.
00:19:36I hate to break it to you, Zoe, but Richard already gave me this spot.
00:19:42He said a junior assistant like you doesn't deserve to sit here.
00:19:48See?
00:19:50Your things are moved over there.
00:19:52You must be boiling with jealousy, aren't you?
00:20:02Look at you.
00:20:04Pathetic.
00:20:05Clinging to your ego, pretending you don't care.
00:20:09Tell me, how did it feel when Richard took my daughter to the open house?
00:20:14That must have broken your heart, didn't it?
00:20:16Drop the act.
00:20:22One tear for me and Richard gets me whatever I want.
00:20:26Even your daughter's little president title.
00:20:29He handed that over to my Lily without a second thought.
00:20:34So, how did it feel Richard made your daughter hand over her title to mine?
00:20:40Do you think Richard will still fawn over you once he sees your true colors?
00:20:48Or do you think he'll be disgusted?
00:20:50Like, like you swallowed a fly?
00:20:53You bitch.
00:20:55I'm just saying this to put you in your place.
00:20:59Get the hell out of here with your little brat
00:21:01and never show your face to Richard again.
00:21:04Or I'll make you wish you were never even born.
00:21:06Got it?
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:11Yeah, I get it.
00:21:12And since you're so fond of leftovers, you can have mine.
00:21:16Keep him.
00:21:17You.
00:21:20Don't think I don't see right through you.
00:21:23You're still hoping Richard cares.
00:21:25Dream on.
00:21:26What do you have that compares to me?
00:21:29I don't give a damn.
00:21:30But here's a warning.
00:21:32What goes around comes around.
00:21:33And one day you might get thrown out like trash.
00:21:40What's going on here?
00:21:41Evelyn.
00:21:42Richard, what are you doing here?
00:21:43When are you gonna stop picking on Evelyn?
00:21:44Richard, you're mistaken about Zoe.
00:21:45We were just playing a little game.
00:21:46I just saw what happened.
00:21:47You're far too kind.
00:21:48Always making excuses, belle.
00:21:49I don't want you two fighting over me.
00:21:50It's all my fault.
00:21:51Oh, my God.
00:21:52You're right.
00:21:53What are you doing here?
00:21:54I ain't gonna walk in to the other day.
00:21:55I don't want anyone a little bit.
00:21:58when are you gonna stop picking on Evelyn?
00:21:59Richard, you're mistaken about Zoe.
00:22:02We were just playing a little game.
00:22:04We were just playing a little game.
00:22:07I just saw what happened.
00:22:10You're far too kind.
00:22:12Always making excuses back.
00:22:14I don't want you two fighting over me.
00:22:16It's all my fault.
00:22:18Maybe I should have just never started working here
00:22:21in the first place.
00:22:22Stop blaming yourself for other people's mistakes.
00:22:27Zoey, do you have something to say?
00:22:29Nothing, just that you're blind.
00:22:32How dare you talk to me?
00:22:36Have I been too kind that you forgot your place?
00:22:38Not to mention the audacity of you to hang up on me this morning.
00:22:41Is that how a personal assistant does her job?
00:22:43If it weren't for Evelyn, I would have,
00:22:45cleaning up your mess, I would have lost billions.
00:22:48From now on, you're demoted.
00:22:49Back to being an entry-level employee.
00:22:55So, he probably didn't see my message.
00:22:59He must have been busy at work this morning.
00:23:00Richard, Zoey's really good at her job.
00:23:04How can you demote her over something so trivial?
00:23:07Show her mercy and let her stay?
00:23:09No matter how good she is at her job,
00:23:12it won't make up for her vile character.
00:23:15But still, if Zoey gets demoted, I can't help but feel guilty.
00:23:21Don't.
00:23:22If it weren't for you, I would have never seen how truly evil she is.
00:23:27But still...
00:23:28Evelyn, you're always putting everybody else first.
00:23:31Try thinking of yourself for once.
00:23:37What are you waiting for?
00:23:39Apologize to her.
00:23:40Now!
00:23:41Now!
00:23:46Don't you ever get tired of this little act?
00:23:48I know I'm sick of it.
00:23:50Zoey?
00:23:51I know you're angry.
00:23:53Go ahead.
00:23:54Take it out on me.
00:23:55I won't blame you.
00:23:57As long as I'm here, you don't have to bother anymore.
00:24:02But she's Zoey, your assistant.
00:24:06Even if she hits me or curses at me, I won't say a word.
00:24:12Richard, let's pretend this never happened.
00:24:15Show her mercy and let her stay.
00:24:18I already showed her mercy when I allowed her to keep her job.
00:24:27Spare me.
00:24:28I quit.
00:24:29She can take my place.
00:24:33Zoey!
00:24:34You've been here so long.
00:24:36How can you just up and leave like that?
00:24:38If you're really mad at me, go ahead and hit me.
00:24:42She wouldn't dare.
00:24:48She actually hit me?
00:24:51Zoey, are you crazy?
00:24:53How dare you hit her in front of me?
00:25:00Those two slaps were for my daughter.
00:25:03You crushed her pride at the open house.
00:25:06Even forcing her to give up her class president title to your daughter.
00:25:10You brought this on yourself.
00:25:16Zoey!
00:25:18And that slap?
00:25:19That was for myself.
00:25:20You knew he was a married man and you still went after him.
00:25:21Nothing disgusts me more than a home wrecker.
00:25:22Like you.
00:25:23How can you say that about me?
00:25:24Oh, because it's true.
00:25:25You know better than anyone that he was married.
00:25:26And you still invited him over to your place.
00:25:27And you let him sneak into your bed at night.
00:25:31Evelyn, do you not know what shame is?
00:25:32I'm sorry.
00:25:33I'm sorry.
00:25:34I'm sorry.
00:25:35I'm sorry.
00:25:36I'm sorry.
00:25:37I'm sorry.
00:25:38I'm sorry.
00:25:39I'm sorry.
00:25:40I'm sorry.
00:25:41I'm sorry.
00:25:42I'm sorry.
00:25:43I'm sorry.
00:25:44I'm sorry.
00:25:45I'm sorry.
00:25:46Evelyn, do you not know what shame is?
00:25:48It's not true.
00:25:49Richard and I...
00:25:51There's nothing between us.
00:25:53Zoey, I know you hate me.
00:25:55Fine.
00:25:56I'll leave.
00:25:57From now on...
00:25:58Just drop the act.
00:25:59Okay?
00:26:00If you want my leftovers so badly, take them.
00:26:05Be my guest.
00:26:07Just take the trash and keep it.
00:26:10Trash?
00:26:11What trash?
00:26:13Richard, I think there's a misunderstanding between me and Zoey.
00:26:19She barged in out of nowhere, called me a homewrecker, and then...
00:26:25Believe it or not, she said I could keep the trash.
00:26:30And by that she meant...
00:26:33She meant you.
00:26:34Zoey, have I been far too easy on you?
00:26:38Yeah.
00:26:39That's exactly what I thought.
00:26:41That I've been way too easy on you these last seven years.
00:26:44Seven years!
00:26:54Seven wasted years!
00:26:57Richard, running deals, breaking my back for your company, and for what?
00:27:02Zoey, hit me if you want, but please don't hurt Richard.
00:27:07What, do you think landing a few big deals makes you untouchable?
00:27:10That it gives you the right to act this cocky and be that disrespectful?
00:27:14Richard, please.
00:27:16It's my fault she ended up this way.
00:27:18Don't be angry with her.
00:27:20People like her only learn their lessons when you put them in that place.
00:27:26You two make me sick.
00:27:28Those two slaps were totally worth it.
00:27:33Finally, I've pushed you out.
00:27:36Zoey, always so high and mighty.
00:27:39Turns out, you ran straight into a brick wall.
00:27:43Serves you right.
00:27:45Call the project team.
00:27:52Zoey has to go over every point of data by herself.
00:27:57And if she doesn't finish by tonight, then she's out of the company.
00:28:01Mr. Harrington, this project's way too complex, and the database is massive.
00:28:06There's no way Zoey can finish it all tonight.
00:28:09Then make her work through the entire night.
00:28:11She's been slacking off enough as it is already.
00:28:14It's getting late.
00:28:25Zoey's probably still buried in work, learning her lesson.
00:28:33Mr. Harrington?
00:28:35Your coffee, sir?
00:28:37Is Zoey still working?
00:28:39She learned her lesson.
00:28:41Well, actually, she didn't come back here after this afternoon.
00:28:45What did you just say?
00:28:46She didn't return.
00:28:49Do you want me to go look for her?
00:28:52Don't bother.
00:28:54Zoey, playing games with me, huh? Fine. Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:29:06Ready, Amy?
00:29:07Let's go.
00:29:08I'm ready, Mom.
00:29:09From now on, things are gonna get better for us.
00:29:12Right?
00:29:13I promise.
00:29:15I promise.
00:29:24Go.
00:29:25Yeah, just be your son.
00:29:27It doesn't matter if it's good enough.
00:29:32Yes.
00:29:33Call Zoey.
00:29:47Tell her to bring me in a cup of coffee.
00:29:50But...
00:29:51But...
00:29:54Zoey hasn't shown up for work today, either.
00:30:00Zoey's getting colder every day.
00:30:02I have to show her who's the boss.
00:30:04Richard?
00:30:07Come in.
00:30:10Your coffee, exactly the way you like it.
00:30:13Why are you the one bringing me in?
00:30:20Why are you the one bringing you to me?
00:30:23Richard, what's wrong?
00:30:26I'm your personal assistant now.
00:30:27Of course, I'm the one bringing you coffee.
00:30:30Put it down and leave.
00:30:36Richard?
00:30:38I found this amazing new restaurant.
00:30:40Tonight we should take Lily and check it out together.
00:30:43I'm busy.
00:30:46But...
00:30:47Lily's really excited to get dinner with us.
00:30:51Richard...
00:30:53Richard, are you feeling well?
00:30:54Should we go to the hospital?
00:31:01Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.
00:31:05Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.
00:31:08I wish you happiness.
00:31:18Richard, what's the matter?
00:31:20Trouble at work?
00:31:24Zoey!
00:31:25What's this supposed to mean?
00:31:27Are you out of your mind?
00:31:28Who do you think you are saying something like that?
00:31:38Your call is being transferred.
00:31:42Please leave your message after the tone.
00:31:43He's leaving notes.
00:31:45But now...
00:31:46Zoe's been gone for just one day and he's already losing it.
00:31:54Your call is being transferred.
00:31:56Richard, don't do that. I'm scared!
00:31:59Mind your own business.
00:32:00I'm leaving
00:32:02Zoe
00:32:05I can't have a single moment of peace
00:32:08While you're still alive
00:32:10Damn it
00:32:17I know that you're just jealous
00:32:24Zoe
00:32:24But throwing a temper tantrum
00:32:26Fine
00:32:32Fine
00:32:33I'll make it up to you
00:32:36I need you to pick up a cake and flowers for me now
00:32:56Zoe
00:32:57I'm home
00:32:59Are you happy now?
00:33:09Enough playing games, Zoe
00:33:11Come down here now
00:33:13Or I'm done playing nice
00:33:15Zoe
00:33:24Zoe
00:33:24Zoe
00:33:26My patience is wearing thin
00:33:28She really isn't going back
00:33:39She really isn't going back
00:33:39For me
00:33:51I'll make it up to you
00:33:53It's going back to you
00:33:55I'm going back to you
00:33:57Can't?
00:33:58I know
00:33:59It's going back
00:34:00I'll make it up to you
00:34:00I'm having this
00:34:02I'm having this
00:34:04Oh, no
00:34:04I'm having this
00:34:04I'm having this
00:34:06I've hardly ever been there for Amy, let alone playing with her.
00:34:36I've hardly ever been there for a long time.
00:34:46I've hardly ever been there for a long time.
00:34:52I've hardly ever been there for a long time.
00:34:58Zoe, I'll give you ten minutes.
00:35:14Call me back, or we're getting a divorce.
00:35:28So, he still hasn't realized Amy and I have already left the country.
00:35:36Well, well, well.
00:35:39You said me.
00:35:41Thought you had some backbone.
00:35:43But here you are, crawling back to me already.
00:35:52So, if you can't even keep up the act, stop pretending.
00:35:55First you ran off with Amy, now you're calling me back?
00:35:58Pathetic.
00:35:59Richard, it's me.
00:36:07Why are you calling so late?
00:36:09What's wrong?
00:36:10I had a nightmare.
00:36:12I'm scared.
00:36:13Could you come keep me company?
00:36:16If you're scared, go find your daughter.
00:36:18Let Evelyn keep you company.
00:36:20But, Lily's too young.
00:36:23I just, I want you here.
00:36:26Please?
00:36:27I'm busy.
00:36:28Find somebody else.
00:36:29You're the only one I know.
00:36:31Fine.
00:36:32Zoe, you're the one who's pushing me away.
00:36:34You brought this on yourself.
00:36:39Alright.
00:36:40I'm coming.
00:36:42I'll be waiting.
00:36:43Zoe.
00:36:44Let's see how you compete with me.
00:36:50Huh?
00:36:51Hey, kiddo.
00:36:52You tired?
00:36:53You want to take a nap?
00:36:54No, not yet.
00:36:55Yeah, me neither.
00:36:56How about we get a little sweet treat before dinner?
00:36:57Great.
00:36:58Okay.
00:36:59Zoe, what's that supposed to mean?
00:37:15Are you out of your mind?
00:37:17Who are you?
00:37:20to be. Zoe, what's that supposed to mean? Are you out of your mind? Who do you think
00:37:29you are saying something like that? Zoe, I'll give you ten minutes. Call me back or we're
00:37:34getting a divorce. Ignoring my texts won't do you any good. Richard's coming over to
00:37:42see me now. Jealous much? If I were you, I'd disappear for good instead of playing hard
00:37:51to get just to make him chase you. I'm his first and only love. As long as I'm here, you
00:37:58don't stand a chance. So just give it up.
00:38:00Okay, so what are we ordering? Can we get brownies? Yes, of course we can get brownies.
00:38:15Okay, which one do you want?
00:38:16I have to keep making a fuss of the silly open house stuff. I'm so over this.
00:38:39Dad!
00:38:44Stay safe.
00:38:46So, Zoe's upset just because I left her and Amy behind that day for Evelyn's daughter?
00:38:57Evelyn told me Lily was sick, so I rushed over to check. Turns out she was just hungry and
00:39:02whining for fried chicken.
00:39:03Easy. Lily, take it slow.
00:39:09Richard, I'm sorry. You were meant to go home with Zoe and Amy and here you are with me
00:39:15and Lily. Don't worry. I'll apologize to her tomorrow.
00:39:19No, no. I'm happy to help.
00:39:21Richard, you're my lifesaver.
00:39:24If I took Amy out for fried chicken even just once, she'd be over the moon.
00:39:32Richard?
00:39:37Come in.
00:39:41Come in.
00:39:42Zoe's got a way better figure than her, and yet she'd never wear something so revealing.
00:39:53The clients are all here. Shareholders too. Let's go to the meeting.
00:40:01The client files. My daughter took them yesterday. She did scribble all over them, did she?
00:40:13No, it's fine. I'm pretty sure I put those files away. Hopefully before she got her hands
00:40:20on them. What's wrong?
00:40:25Uh, nothing. I just didn't get any sleep last night.
00:40:30Well, make sure you try to get to bed early tonight then.
00:40:33I will.
00:40:39Richard! Long time no see.
00:40:42Mr. Anderson. Pleasure's always.
00:40:44I'm really looking forward to our collaboration. The whole industry is singing the phrases
00:40:54of the formidable Richard Harrington. Young, accomplished, and razor sharp.
00:40:59Who's this? Isn't Zoe supposed to be here?
00:41:02Don't tell me you found someone even better than her.
00:41:05She's on, um, other tasks at the moment.
00:41:09I see. Over the years, Zoe's always been top-notch.
00:41:13If she weren't your assistant, I'd have snatched her up myself.
00:41:16No.
00:41:17Mr. Anderson, if you don't mind, let's cut to the chase, though.
00:41:21Let's sign the contract.
00:41:23Of course.
00:41:29Richard, what the hell is this?
00:41:31Lily actually scribbled all over the contract?
00:41:42I'm so dead. I should have checked before handing it to Richard.
00:41:48Who drew this off?
00:41:50Do you have any idea what you've just done?
00:41:53Get me Zoe now.
00:41:54Zoe, she...
00:41:55Mr. Harrington, if this is how your company does business, then I don't see any reason
00:42:01to continue with this deal.
00:42:03I trusted Hamilton so much, and this is how she repays me?
00:42:09I'm sorry, Richard. I...
00:42:11Who are you to barge in here like this?
00:42:13I'm speaking to Mr. Harrington right now.
00:42:15Mr. Anderson, this is entirely my fault.
00:42:17I'll have a revised contract drawn up for you right away, and to show how sorry we are,
00:42:21I'd like to offer you an additional 3% discount.
00:42:23Looks are just a bonus in an assistant.
00:42:27What counts is competence.
00:42:30I see you've really outdone yourself with this extraordinary assistant, Mr. Harrington.
00:42:38I don't get it.
00:42:50What was Mr. Harrington thinking?
00:42:52Letting go of Assistant Zoe just to keep the useless eye candy around?
00:42:56Ugh.
00:42:57It's absurd.
00:42:58Everyone knows Zoe was the one that kept this place running.
00:43:02Mr. Harrington, I never expected you to humiliate me like this.
00:43:07There's no reason for us to continue this partnership.
00:43:10Mr. Anderson, this is all just one big, I'm...
00:43:14Misunderstanding.
00:43:15Misunderstanding?
00:43:16Come on.
00:43:17This just shows you were never serious about working with me.
00:43:20You didn't have to tarnish my name just to reject a deal.
00:43:23Drawing a picture over my name of a pig just to insult me?
00:43:29Is this how you treat your partners?
00:43:31We will never work together again.
00:43:33What are we gonna do now?
00:43:36Mr. Anderson is our biggest client.
00:43:39If we lose this partnership, we will lose billions.
00:43:43Richard, I'm sorry.
00:43:44I had no idea something like this could happen.
00:43:47What do I do?
00:43:48Zoe would never look at me like that.
00:43:57She's proud, relentless, always pushing for perfection.
00:44:01No matter how tough the job, she's never faltered.
00:44:04Unlike Alice, all tears and no backbone, waiting for me to clean up her mess.
00:44:11If Zoe were here today, none of this would have happened.
00:44:14She's sharp, capable, and Amy, she's a good kid.
00:44:19She'd never mess up my documents.
00:44:21Bring me Zoe.
00:44:22Where the hell is Zoe?
00:44:24Richard, please.
00:44:26Leave.
00:44:28And from now on, stay out of company business.
00:44:32Richard, help me.
00:44:33Get up!
00:44:35Get ready for dinner tonight.
00:44:45You and me.
00:44:46And make sure to bring it.
00:44:48I'm going off too harsh, Cheryl.
00:44:54Zoe, let's take Amy out for fried chicken tonight.
00:45:03Just the three of us.
00:45:06Richard.
00:45:26Richard, you need to sign these.
00:45:30Just put them down and leave.
00:45:31Please, don't be upset.
00:45:36Just said, what happened today is entirely my fault.
00:45:40I'll make sure Lily behaves next time, I promise.
00:45:43No more trouble.
00:45:44Call me Mr. Harrington during work hours.
00:45:46I know I put you in as my personal assistant,
00:45:48but there still needs to be boundaries.
00:45:50Boundaries?
00:45:52Everyone knows I was his first and only true love.
00:45:57He completely doted on me.
00:45:59Even after he married Zoe, it was never out in the open.
00:46:02And now, he's talking about boundaries?
00:46:05Richard, don't you like me anymore?
00:46:12Why are you acting like this now?
00:46:15Evelyn's still in me.
00:46:18She's not ready to be my personal assistant.
00:46:20Have her transferred to another department.
00:46:23Once she finally passes probation, bring her back.
00:46:31Richard, I know I messed up.
00:46:35I swear I won't let it happen again.
00:46:38Please, don't do this to me.
00:46:43This is a business, not a playground.
00:46:46If you can't handle the job, you'll be demoted.
00:46:49Zoe never once failed me.
00:46:50She definitely didn't cry in front of me either.
00:46:53Fine.
00:46:55I understand.
00:47:01Zoe, why do you have to make my life a living hell even when you're gone?
00:47:07Looks like I have to take you out no matter what.
00:47:29Number 59?
00:47:38I didn't even know what Amy liked, so I just grabbed a little bit of everything.
00:47:42Figured this way, I can see which one she prefers.
00:47:44Amy, I brought you some fried chicken, honey.
00:47:59Come down and try it.
00:48:01These are Amy's drawings of her and Zoe.
00:48:18There isn't a single one of me in it.
00:48:20Uncle Richard, will you be my model?
00:48:36I don't have time for this.
00:48:39Zoe, where did you take Amy?
00:48:58I thought leaving Richard would break me, but I'd be drowning in heartbreak.
00:49:08But the truth is, the moment I finally walked away, not wasting my life waiting for someone
00:49:14who never loved me to come home, I felt lighter than ever.
00:49:19Like I could finally breathe.
00:49:28No more dragging myself out of bed in the early morning to make him breakfast.
00:49:32No more choking down his cold, cutting words.
00:49:36It turns out, life without Richard feels pretty damn good.
00:49:41I'm so good at that!
00:49:42I'm so good at that!
00:49:44I'm so good at that!
00:49:48I love you, too!
00:49:50Whooo!
00:49:50Coming in!
00:49:51Come here!
00:49:52Come here!
00:49:53Come on.
00:49:54Hi, everybody!
00:49:55We're waiting for you.
00:49:56Come here.
00:49:57Come here!
00:49:58I'm so good at that!
00:49:59We're waiting for you.
00:50:00Come here!
00:50:01Come here!
00:50:02Come here!
00:50:03Come here!
00:50:03Mom, we should have left Uncle Richard sooner.
00:50:15Richard never let Amy go to places like this.
00:50:18He said amusement parks were a waste of time.
00:50:21But now, I just want her to have fun.
00:50:25I'm going to give her back every bit of happiness he took away.
00:50:29Is it good?
00:50:30Yeah, really good.
00:50:31Cheers.
00:50:32Woo!
00:50:33Woo!
00:51:03Mr. Hanks, bad news.
00:51:21What is it?
00:51:21Spit it out.
00:51:22The project Zoe's been handling.
00:51:24The client pulled out.
00:51:26They're canceling the deal.
00:51:27The whole thing's stuck.
00:51:29Then go find Zoe and have her handle it.
00:51:31Don't bother me with this.
00:51:33But, Mr. Harrington, call Zoe and bring her in and have her fix it.
00:51:39Let's see what excuse you'll find if you don't.
00:51:44Forget it.
00:51:45Call Zoe and have her come directly to my office.
00:51:48I want her to handle this personally.
00:51:52But, Mr. Harrington, Zoe's already resigned.
00:51:56We haven't been able to reach her since.
00:51:58Resigned?
00:52:03Who approved this?
00:52:04And why wasn't I informed?
00:52:07She said her husband works abroad.
00:52:11She's taken her daughter, Amy, to go join him.
00:52:13She put in her resignation.
00:52:15Why was I kept in the dark about something this important?
00:52:18Because you already demoted her to an entry-level position.
00:52:22By company policy, entry-level employees don't need your approval to resign.
00:52:26That's why no one informs you.
00:52:28Mr. Harrington, wait!
00:52:30What should we do now?
00:52:36Excuse me, sir.
00:52:37School's out.
00:52:38The kids have left already.
00:52:40Um, may I ask who you are?
00:52:43I'm here for Amy.
00:52:44Has she been coming to classes recently?
00:52:46Oh, now I remember you're Amy's dad.
00:52:50The one who walked right past his own wife and child and then went on to pretend he was someone else's father at Open House.
00:52:58Fuck, Amy, she's...
00:53:00Amy is one of the kindest and brightest kids I have ever taught.
00:53:04But, um, since Open House, rumors have been spreading like wildfire.
00:53:12And Amy's been suffering a lot.
00:53:15What rumors?
00:53:16Look, that's all nonsense.
00:53:17I have nothing to do with Lily's mother.
00:53:21Lily is not my daughter.
00:53:22Why are you telling me this now?
00:53:25Amy's already withdrawn from school and left with her mother.
00:53:29When?
00:53:30The day after Open House.
00:53:31Maybe I've been too harsh on them.
00:53:35Daddy, you're home!
00:53:37Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?
00:53:40How many times must I say this?
00:53:42She is never to call me dad.
00:53:46I'm sorry, you're going to be kidding me.
00:53:49You don't have to like me.
00:53:51But Amy is your daughter.
00:53:52How could you hurt her like this?
00:53:55Look, if you really want to help your wife and kid, go find them.
00:53:59Open up.
00:54:00Open up.
00:54:02Here's their new address.
00:54:15So what do you want Mommy to make you for dinner tonight?
00:54:17Pasta.
00:54:18Ooh, good idea.
00:54:19I love pasta.
00:54:21Finally, I found you.
00:54:23Zoe, we need to talk.
00:54:26Uncle Richard.
00:54:29He came after me?
00:54:30Amy, this is crazy.
00:54:32Come inside.
00:54:33I don't want to make a scene out here.
00:54:41So, you ran off with Amy and skipped the country just to get my attention.
00:54:47Now you have it.
00:54:48You happy?
00:54:50Can we go home now?
00:54:52Home?
00:54:53This is my home.
00:54:56Now please leave.
00:54:59Richard.
00:55:00Richard, stop it.
00:55:01Don't you get it?
00:55:02Amy and I are done with you.
00:55:04And we never want to see you again.
00:55:06Quit the act.
00:55:07All right?
00:55:08We've been together for seven years.
00:55:10So I'll cut you some slack.
00:55:13Come home now.
00:55:14And I'll pretend none of this ever happened.
00:55:19Zoe!
00:55:20Are you out of your mind?
00:55:21My mind's never been clear.
00:55:23I am done wasting my life on a cocky jerk like you.
00:55:29Let's get a divorce.
00:55:30Divorce?
00:55:33We're never getting a divorce.
00:55:35Not now.
00:55:36Not ever.
00:55:37Why not?
00:55:38Isn't Evelyn the one that you've always loved?
00:55:41Divorce me.
00:55:42And you can finally meet with her.
00:55:44And live out the fantasy you've been chasing.
00:55:46All right, enough.
00:55:47All right.
00:55:48I get that you're jealous.
00:55:50Come home with me.
00:55:52And I promise I'll never see her again.
00:56:01Here.
00:56:02Divorce papers.
00:56:04Already signed.
00:56:18What the hell are you doing?
00:56:24I don't care what you signed.
00:56:26We're not getting a divorce, Zoe.
00:56:28And you're never going to leave me.
00:56:32Not now.
00:56:33Not ever.
00:56:35So.
00:56:36Oh.
00:56:37So now you can't let me go?
00:56:40What?
00:56:41Are you in love with me?
00:56:43Shut up.
00:56:43Oh.
00:56:45God.
00:56:46Roger.
00:56:47You really are in love with me.
00:56:53So it's true then.
00:56:56You do have feelings for me.
00:57:02Don't touch me.
00:57:04You make me sick.
00:57:05Are you crazy?
00:57:07I thought you were.
00:57:08That I was madly in love with you.
00:57:13Damn right I was.
00:57:15I gave you everything.
00:57:17But I'm not your pet.
00:57:21Richard.
00:57:22You took my love and you trampled all over it.
00:57:26And what?
00:57:27You think after everything that you've done.
00:57:30That just saying I love you would ever pull me back.
00:57:34And what makes you think that after everything you've done.
00:57:38I'm done with you.
00:57:39I'm done with you.
00:57:41And I'm never going back.
00:57:49If you won't come back for me.
00:57:54Then what about for our daughter?
00:57:55You really think that she's going to want to call you father after all of this?
00:58:02That doesn't matter.
00:58:04You're never going to have custody of her.
00:58:08If you leave now, you'll never see her again.
00:58:12You didn't really think that there now, did you?
00:58:20Well, you disgust me!
00:58:22You don't even care about her!
00:58:24And now you want to think about taking her away from me?
00:58:26Of course I care.
00:58:31She's my daughter, too.
00:58:33And I will get the best lawyer in the entire world
00:58:37to make sure that you can never run off with her again.
00:58:43You bastard!
00:58:44Come on with me, Zoe.
00:58:51I'll treat you right.
00:58:53We can be a family again.
00:58:55I promise I'll treat you right.
00:58:56Come on now, Zoe.
00:59:00You don't want your daughter to grow up without a mother in her, do you?
00:59:03Do you?
00:59:05Please don't touch my mom, Uncle Richard.
00:59:10What if you just called me Amy?
00:59:12Amy, I'm your dad.
00:59:16Mom, don't worry about me.
00:59:19Don't come back with Uncle Richard.
00:59:21I can take care of myself.
00:59:37Bye.
00:59:39I'll come back with you.
00:59:41That's better.
00:59:42This time, I'll make it right.
00:59:51I promise.
00:59:53Amy, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you.
00:59:59I'll always be here for you.
00:59:59It's been two weeks since I came back.
01:00:18He hasn't called Evelyn once, and he even fired her.
01:00:22I'll always be here for you.
01:00:27Honey.
01:00:29I'm home.
01:00:31I'll use it for you.
01:00:32It's too late.
01:00:33It's too late, Richard.
01:00:35It's too late.
01:00:35It's too late, Richard.
01:00:35Stop wasting your time.
01:00:37I'll be here for you.
01:00:38I'll be here for you.
01:00:43I'll be here for you.
01:00:43Don't like these?
01:00:46Fine.
01:00:48What about these?
01:00:51Not to your taste either.
01:00:53Well, just tell me what you like,
01:00:56and I'll have my assistant go and pick them up.
01:00:58What I want is to stay as far away from you as possible.
01:01:03Didn't I tell you to stop calling me?
01:01:22Richard, Evelyn tried to commit suicide.
01:01:25She cut her wrist because you won't come to see her.
01:01:28Come over to the hospital.
01:01:30Please.
01:01:30All right.
01:01:33I'm coming.
01:01:37Zoe, you bitch.
01:01:41I should have finished you off when I had the chance.
01:01:47But it doesn't matter now.
01:01:49Richard's coming.
01:01:52At the end of the day, it's me he loves the most.
01:01:58Richard, you're here.
01:02:00I'm sorry.
01:02:05I didn't mean to take my own life.
01:02:08I just, I miss you so much.
01:02:14Thank God you came.
01:02:16I knew.
01:02:17I knew you still cared.
01:02:18Look, I'm here to give you one final warning.
01:02:21Either you stop pestering me, or I'll have you sent over sex.
01:02:24Richard, you used to love me so much, remember, didn't you even risk your own life to save me once?
01:02:32Love you?
01:02:33Love you?
01:02:34The woman I loved was kind.
01:02:37Not a venomous snake.
01:02:39Like you are now.
01:02:40What are you trying to say?
01:02:48Pathetic tricks.
01:02:50Time and time again.
01:02:53First you framed Zoe, now you're faking a suicide just to get my attention?
01:02:58What do you really think I wouldn't see right through you?
01:03:02Let me get this straight.
01:03:03The only woman I love is Zoe.
01:03:06You're going to be sick.
01:03:12Zoe, you bitch!
01:03:31I'll make you pay.
01:03:35Go to hell.
01:03:37If I can't have Richard, no one can.
01:03:40So, Amy, how was your day at school?
01:03:42Watch out!
01:03:58Go, yes!
01:04:00Richard, stay with me!
01:04:02Oh my God, somebody help!
01:04:04Zoe, you still have feelings for me.
01:04:07Dad, please, no goodness me.
01:04:10I'll go to Dave, please.
01:04:13Follow me.
01:04:16You're copying Dad again.
01:04:20If only I could turn back to him.
01:04:25We could be a family again.
01:04:32Richard!
01:04:33Richard, we've come to see you again.
01:04:40Evelyn has been sentenced.
01:04:42She'll spend the rest of her life in jail.
01:04:44Justice has been soon.
01:04:48And we're doing just the night.
01:04:51Daddy, I got elected class president again.
01:04:55Are you proud of me?
01:04:55Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, it's okay.
01:04:58Daddy, it's okay.
01:04:59I forgive you.
01:05:01And just so you know, my new dad takes really good care of me and Mommy.
01:05:10We'll come see her again soon.
01:05:15Daddy!
01:05:16Daddy!
01:05:20Okay?
01:05:21Come on, let's go.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Let's go.
01:05:29Let's go.
01:05:30Let's go.
01:05:34Let's go.
