Transcript

00:00:00Take it easy. Mr. Harrington, you should slow down.

00:00:21I worked as his assistant for a year, all because I couldn't stop falling for him.

00:00:25I knew his heart still belonged to another woman, but I kept hoping that maybe, someday, he'd finally turn around and see me.

00:00:36Mr. Harrington, I'll go draw you a bath.

00:00:48You...

00:00:49I might now.

00:00:54I'll take care of you.

00:00:55I thought my dream had finally come true, until my daughter was born.

00:01:14That's when I realized, no matter how hard you try, you can never thaw a heart made of ice.

00:01:21It's been seven years, and I'm still haunted by that night.

00:01:28Every mistake I've made, it's all started with that dream.

00:01:34Mommy, did you have a bad dream?

00:01:36No, no, sweetheart. I'm fine.

00:01:38Are we really moving out?

00:01:40But, daddy hugged me tonight. Does that mean he's starting to like me?

00:01:47Sweetheart, your daddy's true love is coming back, so we can't stay here anymore.

00:01:52But, he gave me the stuffed bunny tonight. If he didn't like me, why would he buy me a gift?

00:02:00Should I tell her Richard's only happy because his one true love is coming back from abroad?

00:02:05Or, her gift came from another woman's shadow.

00:02:13Daddy, you're home!

00:02:15Is she too dumb to understand my words, or is he you?

00:02:18How many times must I say this?

00:02:20She is never to call me dad!

00:02:23I'm sorry, Uncle Richard.

00:02:31You don't have to like me, but Amy is your daughter. How could you hurt her like this?

00:02:36You're the one who climbed into my bed, and used your pregnancy to trap me into a marriage.

00:02:43Is that your idea of not hurting your daughter?

00:02:47I've already explained it a thousand times. It only happened that night because you were-

00:02:52Enough!

00:02:53I don't want to hear it anymore.

00:02:54I saw my mom.

00:02:56Mommy, Uncle Richard.

00:02:59Please stop fighting.

00:03:03Who told you you could have this?

00:03:06Tell your daughter to keep her hands off of things that don't belong to her.

00:03:11So that's it.

00:03:12The gift was meant for his true love's daughter all along.

00:03:16Is Amy really that worthless in his eyes?

00:03:20Talk to me, Amy.

00:03:23Amy, what if we leave Uncle Richard together?

00:03:28Will you come with Mommy?

00:03:30He'll be stay.

00:03:32He'll save them and be calling Dad once.

00:03:35He doesn't want us here.

00:03:37Mommy can take you away.

00:03:39Can we give Uncle Richard three more chances?

00:03:43If he really doesn't like us, we'll leave him.

00:03:45We're good.

00:03:47We're good.

00:03:50Okay.

00:03:55Richard Arrington, my daughter and I are giving you three more chances.

00:04:00After that, you'll have no place in our home.

00:04:03Ever.

00:04:03Zoe, are you really quitting the job?

00:04:12Yeah.

00:04:13Um, Amy's father is abroad, so I'm taking her to go join him.

00:04:19I know it must have been tough raising Amy alone.

00:04:21Zoe, did you see that?

00:04:32Mr. Harrington, our Iceberg CEO, is bringing someone with him for the first time ever.

00:04:38Evelyn York, she really is stunning.

00:04:48No wonder Richard's never gotten over her all these years.

00:04:51Even when he was drunk, he was still calling her name in my bed.

00:04:56Who's that girl?

00:04:58She looks really close to Mr. Harrington.

00:05:00Could she be the future Mrs. Harrington?

00:05:03Everyone, I'd like to make an announcement.

00:05:07Miss Evelyn York here will be joining us at the company

00:05:09and taking the position as my new personal assistant.

00:05:12Zoe, what are you going to do if she takes your place as his assistant?

00:05:16I'm leaving soon anyways.

00:05:18It's the perfect timing for her to show up.

00:05:20I can't believe the Harrington Corp would just parachute someone in like that.

00:05:26Not just someone.

00:05:28She's that one.

00:05:28Wait, Mason, Zoe, Mr. Harrington's personal assistant?

00:05:34And now Evelyn's here, so what does that mean for Zoe?

00:05:38Will she lose her job?

00:05:39I've been here for years, and this is the first time I've ever seen them drop someone in like this.

00:05:44Everyone else started from the bottom and worked their way up.

00:05:47Don't you guys think she looks kind of familiar?

00:05:49Haven't we seen her somewhere before?

00:05:52Wait, isn't she Mr. Harrington's first love?

00:05:55I heard they almost got married once, but she suddenly vanished,

00:06:01and Mr. Harrington's been drowning himself in booze over her ever since.

00:06:07Hi, everyone.

00:06:09I'm so excited to be joining the company and becoming part of the Harrington family.

00:06:15I'd really appreciate your guidance as I get settled in.

00:06:20What?

00:06:22Zoe worked herself to the bone bringing in all those big clients to become the CEO's personal assistant.

00:06:28Exactly.

00:06:29Everyone can see how skilled Zoe is, and yet suddenly someone comes along and steals her position.

00:06:35It's so unfair.

00:06:36I feel so bad for Zoe.

00:06:38Come on.

00:06:39You're near here.

00:06:40Let me show you around.

00:06:41Richard, you've got so much work to do.

00:06:44I don't want to be a burden.

00:06:46Ben, maybe Zoe could show me around?

00:06:56Actually, I've got a lot on my plate right now.

00:07:00Then forget it.

00:07:03Never mind.

00:07:04No, no.

00:07:05Show her around.

00:07:07It won't take too much of your time.

00:07:13Fine.

00:07:16This is the conference room.

00:07:20I've shown you everything you need to see.

00:07:24You get it now, don't you, Zoe?

00:07:27No matter how hard you work, in Richard's heart, I'm the one that matters the most.

00:07:35What?

00:07:37Can't handle the truth?

00:07:38Well, he's just using you for pleasure.

00:07:45One call for me, and he flies overseas just to see me.

00:07:49Then I wish you two a lifetime of happiness.

00:07:52For as long as you both shall live.

00:07:54You're saying one thing and doing another.

00:08:00You think I don't see right through you, you two-faced slut.

00:08:07How else do you think you got pregnant?

00:08:09I almost feel sorry for your daughter.

00:08:13She's Richard's blood, and yet he treats my daughter like she's his own.

00:08:20Do you know why that is?

00:08:21Well, if you're so confident, then why don't you convince Richard to make you his wife?

00:08:28Unless, of course, you're hiding something.

00:08:32What are you so afraid of?

00:08:33What am I afraid of?

00:08:36The one who should be afraid is you.

00:08:46Zoe!

00:08:46Are you okay?

00:09:03I'm fine, Richard.

00:09:10Apologize.

00:09:11I can't believe it took me this long to see how blind you really are.

00:09:18Richard, don't be angry.

00:09:20She didn't mean it.

00:09:21Please, for my sake.

00:09:24The surveillance cameras are on.

00:09:26Why don't you check them before accusing me?

00:09:32Two chances left.

00:09:36Richard, I'm okay.

00:09:38Zoe's probably upset because I took her spot.

00:09:44It was just a slap.

00:09:46Don't start any drama over me.

00:09:48I can't just let this slide.

00:09:50She's already hit you once.

00:09:51Who knows what she'll do next time?

00:09:54I need to teach you a lesson.

00:09:57I'm tired of these little charades.

00:10:00I'm leaving.

00:10:01Excuse me.

00:10:03Zoe!

00:10:04If you walk out those doors, you'll be demoted to a junior assistant.

00:10:11Do whatever you want.

00:10:18Zoe's acting so differently.

00:10:20What's going on with him?

00:10:21What?

00:10:34Is Zoe quitting?

00:10:35Maya, why didn't you tell me Zoe was resigning?

00:10:45Zoe told me not to let Mr. Harrington find out.

00:10:48How did he know?

00:10:50Mr. Harrington, there must be some mistake.

00:10:55Zoe, resign.

00:10:57That's impossible.

00:10:58That's right.

00:11:00She'd never leave me.

00:11:02She loves me too much.

00:11:03Richard, please, don't be so hard on Zoe.

00:11:11Will you come to my place tonight?

00:11:14I want to be with you.

00:11:17Whatever you want.

00:11:17You're so good to me.

00:11:22Spending the night at another woman's place while we're still married?

00:11:26Fine.

00:11:27Soon you'll be free to spend every night with her.

00:11:39Mom!

00:11:40Hey!

00:11:42Mom, tomorrow is our open house.

00:11:45Can Daddy come?

00:11:45Seven years of marriage and not once has you come to Amy's school.

00:11:51Why would tomorrow be any different?

00:11:58Amy, I- I-

00:11:59Mom, all my classmates say I don't even have a dad.

00:12:03Let Daddy come just once.

00:12:05Please?

00:12:07Okay.

00:12:08I'll text him.

00:12:12Amy's school has open house tomorrow.

00:12:14Any chance you could come?

00:12:15Mom, is Daddy too busy to come?

00:12:22I don't know, babe.

00:12:24Sorry.

00:12:25I get it.

00:12:25It's okay.

00:12:27Daddy's busy.

00:12:28I understand.

00:12:30Amy.

00:12:31Okay, I'll come.

00:12:35Amy, look.

00:12:36Daddy says I'll come.

00:12:37Yay!

00:12:38Daddy's finally coming to my school for me.

00:12:40Mommy, my teacher said I did really well at school this year, and I get to be class president

00:12:45this semester.

00:12:46Daddy knew.

00:12:47Maybe he'd start liking me, right?

00:12:50Please.

00:12:51Just don't break Amy's heart this time.

00:12:59Mom, Daddy's really here.

00:13:04He really came.

00:13:06Let's go over to Daddy.

00:13:07Daddy.

00:13:12What did you just call me?

00:13:18What did you just call me?

00:13:20Uncle Richard, you're sitting at the wrong desk.

00:13:24Mine's up front.

00:13:25It's the first time Dad actually kept his promise.

00:13:27I feel so happy.

00:13:29This is my seat.

00:13:33Out of the way!

00:13:35This is my dad.

00:13:37So that's it.

00:13:39He came, but not for Amy.

00:13:41He came for Evelyn's daughter.

00:13:44Oh, Lily didn't mean it.

00:13:46I'm sorry.

00:13:48Zoe, you're going to the open house too, right?

00:13:52So, where's her dad?

00:13:54My dad's overseas.

00:13:59It's busy.

00:14:00I didn't want to bother him.

00:14:02Uncle Richard, Mom and I are leaving now.

00:14:05Excuse us.

00:14:08Usually, Amy clings to me no matter what.

00:14:11But today she's pulling away on her own.

00:14:13What's gotten in there?

00:14:20Mom, first you brought that woman to the company and took your spot.

00:14:25And now, he shows up at school for some other kid.

00:14:28Dad only has one more can left.

00:14:30What did I do to deserve this?

00:14:34Why does my daughter have to suffer?

00:14:36And there's nothing I can do to stop it.

00:14:39Welcome, parents.

00:14:40And thank you all for being here today.

00:14:43I'm sure you want to know how your kids are doing, so let's dive right in.

00:14:49Amy, I heard you're doing really well in school, right?

00:14:53Quiet, please.

00:14:54I am thrilled to say that all of our pupils have been studying super hard this semester.

00:15:02However, there is one student who has gone above and beyond, and that is Amy Harrington.

00:15:09Congratulations, Amy.

00:15:12You have been elected as class president.

00:15:20Why did you get to be class president?

00:15:27Amy, would you like to come up here and say something to everyone?

00:15:31I'm sorry, ma'am.

00:15:36I don't really know what to say.

00:15:39Oh, Amy, you just need a little more confidence, but no worries.

00:15:44Let's carry on.

00:15:49Amy, don't worry.

00:15:51Mommy will always be with you.

00:15:54Don't be sad.

00:15:54Hey, what took you so long to get out today?

00:16:03You want to go home together today?

00:16:09By the way, Evelyn's daughter, Lily, she's a transfer student, right?

00:16:14So she never got the chance to run for class president.

00:16:19Amy, do you think maybe you could ask the teacher if she could have the title instead?

00:16:24Of course.

00:16:28Every gift comes with a price.

00:16:30Even this lollipop doesn't come for free.

00:16:36Okay, Uncle Richard.

00:16:37Mom.

00:16:47Richard, help!

00:16:48Lily is sick.

00:16:50Can you come pick us up?

00:16:53Dad!

00:16:54Stay safe.

00:17:07This time, he didn't tell our daughter to call him Uncle.

00:17:11But this would be the last time she'd ever call him Dad.

00:17:15Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.

00:17:34Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.

00:17:37Mom, let's get ready to board the plane.

00:17:43Okay, let's go.

00:17:47I wish you happiness.

00:17:49Again, if you are going to Chicago Midway on top of flight 882 for delaying departure at 725, that flight will be departing now to gate number 15, gate number 15.

00:17:59Maya?

00:18:09Zoe, please, you've got to help me.

00:18:13What?

00:18:13What's going on?

00:18:14You remember the project with Mr. Lawrence?

00:18:16We're in the final stages, but now he's heard you're leaving and refuses to sign.

00:18:22If Mr. Harrington finds out about this, I'm finished.

00:18:25Fired.

00:18:26Please.

00:18:27I'm begging you.

00:18:29It's not fair to let someone else take the fall for the mess I left behind.

00:18:34Okay.

00:18:35I'll be back right away.

00:18:36Thank you, Zoe.

00:18:38Thank you so much.

00:18:44Amy, Mommy just has one last thing she has to take care of, okay?

00:18:49We'll leave by tomorrow, I promise.

00:18:52Okay.

00:18:53Okay.

00:18:53Once I wrap things up with Mr. Lawrence and seal the deal, I can finally leave for good.

00:19:09Evelyn?

00:19:11This is my seat.

00:19:13Please move.

00:19:23This desk is closest to Richard.

00:19:26I'm his personal assistant now, so naturally, it belongs to me.

00:19:30Sorry.

00:19:31If you want this seat so badly, you can ask Richard for it.

00:19:35But for now, it's mine.

00:19:38Hate to break it to you, Zoe, but Richard already gave me this spot.

00:19:43He said a junior assistant like you doesn't deserve to sit here.

00:19:49See?

00:19:51Your things are moved over there.

00:19:53You must be boiling with jealousy, aren't you?

00:20:04Look at you.

00:20:06Pathetic.

00:20:07Clinging to your ego, pretending you don't care.

00:20:10Tell me, how did it feel when Richard took my daughter to the open house?

00:20:15That must have broken your heart, didn't it?

00:20:18Drop the act.

00:20:24One tear for me, and Richard gives me whatever I want.

00:20:28Even your daughter's little president title.

00:20:31He handed that over to my Lily without a second thought.

00:20:35So, how did it feel that Richard made your daughter hand over her title to mine?

00:20:42Do you think Richard will still fawn over you once he sees your true colors?

00:20:50Or do you think he'll be disgusted?

00:20:52Like, like he swallowed a fly?

00:20:54You bitch.

00:20:56I'm just saying this to put you in your place.

00:21:00Get the hell out of here with your little brat and never show your face to Richard again.

00:21:06Or I'll make you wish you were never even born.

00:21:09Got it?

00:21:09Yeah.

00:21:13Yeah, I get it.

00:21:15And since you're so fond of leftovers, you can have mine.

00:21:18Keep him.

00:21:19You.

00:21:22Don't think I don't see right through you.

00:21:25You're still hoping Richard cares.

00:21:27Dream on.

00:21:28What do you have that compares to me?

00:21:31I don't give a damn.

00:21:32But here's a warning.

00:21:34What goes around comes around.

00:21:35And one day you might get thrown out like trash.

00:21:38What's going on here?

00:21:50Evelyn.

00:21:53Richard, what are you doing here?

00:21:57When are you going to stop taking on Evelyn?

00:22:03Richard, you're mistaken about Zoe.

00:22:06We were just playing a little game.

00:22:09I just saw what happened.

00:22:11You're far too kind.

00:22:13Always making excuses back.

00:22:15I don't want you two fighting over me.

00:22:18It's all my fault.

00:22:19Maybe I should have just never started working here in the first place.

00:22:24Stop blaming yourself for other people's mistakes.

00:22:28Zoe, do you have something to say?

00:22:30Nothing.

00:22:32Just that you're blind.

00:22:35How dare you talk to me like that?

00:22:37Have I been too kind that you've forgotten your place?

00:22:40Not to mention the audacity of you to hang up on me this morning.

00:22:43Is that how a personal assistant does her job?

00:22:45If it weren't for Evelyn, I would have, cleaning up your mess, I would have lost billions.

00:22:49From now on, you're demoted.

00:22:50Back to being an entry-level employee.

00:22:52So, he probably didn't see my message.

00:23:00He must have been busy at work this morning.

00:23:02Richard, Zoe's really good at her job.

00:23:05How can you demote her over something so trivial?

00:23:08Show her mercy and let her stay?

00:23:11No matter how good she is at her job, it won't make up for her vile character.

00:23:15But, still, if Zoe gets demoted, I can't help but feel guilty.

00:23:23Don't.

00:23:24If it weren't for you, I would have never seen how truly evil she is.

00:23:29But, still.

00:23:30Evelyn, you're always putting everybody else first.

00:23:33Try thinking of yourself at once.

00:23:39What are you waiting for?

00:23:41Apologize to her.

00:23:42Now!

00:23:45Don't you ever get tired of this little act?

00:23:50I know I'm sick of it.

00:23:52Zoe, I know you're angry.

00:23:55Go ahead.

00:23:56Take it out on me.

00:23:58I won't blame you.

00:24:00As long as I'm here, you don't have to bow to me.

00:24:03But, she's Zoe.

00:24:06Your assistant.

00:24:08Even if she hits me or curses at me, I won't say a word.

00:24:13Richard, Richard, let's pretend this never happened.

00:24:17Show her mercy and let her stay.

00:24:23I already showed her mercy when I allowed her to keep her job.

00:24:29Spare me.

00:24:30I quit.

00:24:31She can take my place.

00:24:35Zoe, you've been here so long.

00:24:38How can you just up and leave like that?

00:24:40If you're really mad at me, go ahead and hit me.

00:24:44She wouldn't dare.

00:24:51She actually hit me?

00:24:53Zoe, are you crazy?

00:24:55How dare you hit her in front of me?

00:24:56Those two slaps are for my daughter.

00:25:05You crushed her pride at the open house.

00:25:08Even forcing her to give up her class president title to your daughter.

00:25:13You brought this on yourself.

00:25:18Zoe!

00:25:24Zoe!

00:25:25And that slap?

00:25:26That was for myself.

00:25:28You knew he was a married man and you still went after him.

00:25:32Nothing disgusts me more than a homewrecker.

00:25:34Like you.

00:25:37How can you say that about me?

00:25:39Well, because it's true.

00:25:40You know better than anyone that he was married.

00:25:42And you still invited him over to your place.

00:25:46And you let him sneak into your bed at night.

00:25:47Evelyn, do you not know what shame is?

00:25:50It's not true.

00:25:52Richard and I, there's nothing between us.

00:25:55Zoe, I know you hate me.

00:25:57Fine.

00:25:58I'll leave.

00:25:59From now on...

00:26:00I just dropped the act!

00:26:02Okay?

00:26:04If you want my leftovers so badly,

00:26:07take them.

00:26:09Be my guest.

00:26:11Just take the trash and keep it.

00:26:14Trash?

00:26:16What trash?

00:26:18Richard, I think there's a misunderstanding between me and Zoe.

00:26:22She barged in out of nowhere,

00:26:25called me a homewrecker,

00:26:26and then...

00:26:28Believe it or not,

00:26:30she said I could keep the trash.

00:26:33And by that she meant...

00:26:35She meant you.

00:26:36Zoe, have I been far too easy on you?

00:26:38Yeah, that's exactly what I thought.

00:26:43That I've been way too easy on you these last seven years.

00:26:55Seven years.

00:26:57Seven wasted years.

00:27:00Richard, running deals,

00:27:01breaking my back for your company,

00:27:03and for what?

00:27:04Zoe,

00:27:05hit me if you want,

00:27:07but please don't hurt Richard.

00:27:09What, do you think landing a few big deals makes you untouchable?

00:27:12That it gives you the right to act this cocky

00:27:15and be that disrespectful?

00:27:16Richard, please.

00:27:18It's my fault she ended up this way.

00:27:20Don't be angry with her.

00:27:22People like her only learn their lessons

00:27:24when you put them in their place.

00:27:28You two make me sick.

00:27:33Those two slaps were totally worth it.

00:27:36Finally, I've pushed you out.

00:27:39Zoe, always so high and mighty.

00:27:42Turns out,

00:27:43you ran straight into a brick wall.

00:27:46Serves you right.

00:27:52Call the project team.

00:27:55Zoe has to go over every point of data by herself.

00:27:59And if she doesn't finish by tonight,

00:28:01then she's out of the company.

00:28:03Mr. Harrington,

00:28:04this project's way too complex,

00:28:07and the database is massive.

00:28:09There's no way Zoe can finish it all tonight.

00:28:12Then make her work through the entire night.

00:28:14She's been slacking off enough as it is already.

00:28:16Okay.

00:28:16It's getting late.

00:28:28Zoe's probably still buried in work,

00:28:30learning her lesson.

00:28:35Mr. Harrington?

00:28:37Your coffee, sir?

00:28:40Is Zoe still working?

00:28:42She learned her lesson.

00:28:43Well, actually,

00:28:45she didn't come back here after this afternoon.

00:28:48What did you just say?

00:28:49She didn't return.

00:28:52Do you want me to go look for her?

00:28:56Don't bother.

00:28:59Zoe, playing games with me, huh?

00:29:01Fine.

00:29:02Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

00:29:08Ready, Amy?

00:29:10Let's go.

00:29:11I'm ready, Mom.

00:29:12From now on,

00:29:13things are going to get better for us.

00:29:14Right?

00:29:16I promise.

00:29:25Go.

00:29:26I'll just be your son.

00:29:30It doesn't matter as good as you know.

00:29:34I'll just be your son.

00:29:35I'll just be your son.

00:29:37I'll just be your son.

00:29:38I'll just be your son.

00:29:40I'll just be your son.

00:29:41Call Zoe.

00:29:50Tell her to bring me in a cup of coffee.

00:29:55But Zoe hasn't shown up for work today either.

00:30:02Zoe's getting bolder every day.

00:30:04I have to show her who's the boss.

00:30:06Richard?

00:30:09Come in.

00:30:12Your coffee, exactly the way you like it.

00:30:16Why are you the one bringing me in?

00:30:21Why are you the one bringing it to me?

00:30:25Richard, what's wrong?

00:30:27I'm your personal assistant now.

00:30:29Of course, I'm the one bringing you coffee.

00:30:31Just put it down and leave.

00:30:38Richard, we found this amazing new restaurant.

00:30:42Tonight we should take Lily and check it out together.

00:30:45I'm busy.

00:30:45But Lily's really excited to get dinner with us.

00:30:52Richard.

00:30:54Richard, are you feeling well?

00:30:56Should we go to the hospital?

00:31:02Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.

00:31:06Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.

00:31:10I wish you happiness.

00:31:20Richard, what's the matter?

00:31:22Trouble at work?

00:31:26Zoe!

00:31:27What's that supposed to mean?

00:31:29Are you out of your mind?

00:31:30Who do you think you are, saying something like that?

00:31:42Your call is being transferred.

00:31:44Please leave your message after the town.

00:31:47But now, Zoe's been gone for just one day and he's already losing it.

00:31:57Your call is being transferred.

00:31:58Richard, don't do that.

00:32:00I'm scared.

00:32:01Mind your own business.

00:32:04I'm leaving.

00:32:07Zoe, I can't have a single moment of peace while you're still alive.

00:32:18Damn it!

00:32:24I know that you're just jealous, Zoe.

00:32:27But throwing a temper tantrum?

00:32:30Fine.

00:32:34Fine.

00:32:38I'll make it up to you.

00:32:45I need you to pick up a cake and flowers for me now.

00:50:12Mom, we should have left Uncle Richard sooner.

00:50:19Richard never let Amy go to places like this.

00:50:22He said amusement parks were a waste of time.

00:50:25But now, I just want her to have fun.

00:50:29I'm going to give her back every bit of happiness he took away.

00:50:33Is it good?

00:50:34Yeah, really good.

00:50:35Cheers.

00:50:42Cheers.

00:51:12Mr. Harrington, bad news.

00:51:24What is it?

00:51:25Spit it out.

00:51:26The project Zoe's been handling.

00:51:28The client pulled out.

00:51:30They're canceling the deal.

00:51:31The whole thing's stuck.

00:51:33Then go find Zoe and have her handle it.

00:51:35Don't bother me with this.

00:51:37But, Mr. Harrington, call Zoe and bring her in and have her fix it.

00:51:42Let's see what excuse you'll find if you don't.

00:51:48Forget it.

00:51:49Call Zoe and have her come directly to my office.

00:51:53I want her to handle this personally.

00:51:56But, Mr. Harrington, Zoe's already resigned.

00:52:00We haven't been able to reach her since.

00:52:06Resigned?

00:52:07Who approved this and why wasn't I informed?

00:52:11She said her husband works abroad.

00:52:15She's taken her daughter, Amy, to go join him.

00:52:17She put in her resignation.

00:52:19Why was I kept in the dark about something this important?

00:52:22Because you already demoted her to an entry-level position.

00:52:26By company policy, entry-level employees don't need your approval to resign.

00:52:31That's why no one informs you.

00:52:32Mr. Harrington, wait!

00:52:34What should we do now?

00:52:40Excuse me, sir.

00:52:41School's out.

00:52:42The kids have left already.

00:52:44Um, may I ask who you are?

00:52:47I'm here for Amy.

00:52:48I should be coming to classes recently.

00:52:49Oh, now I remember.

00:52:52You're Amy's dad.

00:52:54The one who walked right past his own wife and child and then went on to pretend he was

00:52:59someone else's father at Open House.

00:53:02Fuck, Amy, she's...

00:53:04Amy is one of the kindest and brightest kids I have ever taught.

00:53:09Everyone adores her.

00:53:10But, um, since Open House, rumors have been spreading like wildfire.

00:53:16And Amy's been suffering a lot.

00:53:19What rumors?

00:53:20Look, that's all nonsense.

00:53:22I have nothing to do with Lily's mother.

00:53:25Lily is not my daughter.

00:53:27Why are you telling me this now?

00:53:29Amy's already withdrawn from school and left with her mother.

00:53:33When?

00:53:34The day after Open House.

00:53:36Maybe I've been too harsh on them.

00:53:39Daddy, you're home!

00:53:41Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?

00:53:44How many times must I say this?

00:53:46She is never to call me dad.

00:53:50I'm sorry, Uncle Richard.

00:53:53You don't have to like me.

00:53:55But Amy is your daughter.

00:53:56How could you hurt her like this?

00:53:59Look, if you really want to help your wife and kid, go find them.

00:54:05Here's their new address.

00:54:07So what do you want Mommy to make you for dinner tonight?

00:54:21Pasta.

00:54:22Ooh, good idea.

00:54:23I love pasta.

00:54:25Finally, I found you.

00:54:27Zoe, we need to talk.

00:54:30Uncle Richard.

00:54:31He came after me?

00:54:34This is crazy.

00:54:36Come inside.

00:54:37I don't want to make a scene out here.

00:54:45So, you ran off with Amy and skipped the country just to get my attention.

00:54:51Now you have it.

00:54:52You happy?

00:54:54Can we go home now?

00:54:56Home?

00:54:57This is my home.

00:54:59Now please leave.

00:55:02Richard.

00:55:03Richard, stop it.

00:55:05Don't you get it?

00:55:06Amy and I are done with you.

00:55:08And we never want to see you again.

00:55:10Quit the ass.

00:55:11All right?

00:55:11We've been together for seven years.

00:55:14So I'll cut you some slack.

00:55:16Come home now.

00:55:18And I'll pretend none of this ever happened.

00:55:23Zoe.

00:55:23Are you out of your mind?

00:55:25My mind's never been clear.

00:55:27I am done wasting my life on a cocky jerk like you.

00:55:32Let's get a divorce.

00:55:34Divorce?

00:55:37We're never getting a divorce.

00:55:39Not now.

00:55:40Not ever.

00:55:41Why not?

00:55:42Isn't Evelyn the one that you've always loved?

00:55:45Divorce me.

00:55:46And you can finally be with her and live out the fantasy you've been chasing.

00:55:50All right, enough.

00:55:51All right.

00:55:52I get that you're jealous.

00:55:54Come home with me.

00:55:56And I promise I'll never see her again.

00:56:04Here.

00:56:06Divorce papers.

00:56:07Already signed.

00:56:08What the hell are you doing?

00:56:28I don't care what you signed.

00:56:30We're not getting a divorce, Zoe.

00:56:33And you're never going to leave me.

00:56:36Not now.

00:56:37Not ever.

00:56:40So.

00:56:41So now you can't let me go?

00:56:44What?

00:56:45Are you in love with me?

00:56:47Shut up.

00:56:49God.

00:56:50Roger.

00:56:51You really are in love with me.

00:56:57So it's true then.

00:57:00You do have feelings for me.

00:57:07Don't touch me.

00:57:08You make me sick.

00:57:09Are you crazy?

00:57:11I thought you were.

00:57:12That I was madly in love with you.

00:57:17Damn right I was.

00:57:19I give you everything.

00:57:21But I'm not your pet.

00:57:25Richard.

00:57:26You took my love and you trampled all over it.

00:57:30And what?

00:57:31You think after everything that you've done.

00:57:34That just saying I love you would ever pull me back.

00:57:38And what makes you think that after everything you've done.

00:57:44I'm done with you.

00:57:46And I'm never going back.

00:57:51If you won't come back for me.

00:57:58Then what about for our daughter?

00:57:59You really think that she's going to want to call you father after all of this?

00:58:06That doesn't matter.

00:58:08You're never going to have custody of her.

00:58:09If you leave now, you'll never see her again.

00:58:17You didn't really think that very now, did you?

00:58:19Well, you disgust me.

00:58:25You don't even care about her.

00:58:28And now you want to think about taking her away from me?

00:58:33Of course I care.

00:58:35She's my daughter too.

00:58:36And I will get the best lawyer in the entire world to make sure that you can never run off with her again.

00:58:47You bastard!

00:58:48Come on with me, Zoe.

00:58:56I'll treat you right.

00:58:57We can be a family again.

00:58:59I promise I'll treat you right.

00:59:01Come on now, Zoe.

00:59:04You don't want your daughter to grow up without a mother in her, do you?

00:59:07Do you?

00:59:07Please don't touch my mom, Uncle Richard.

00:59:14What is...

00:59:15Did you just call me Amy?

00:59:17Amy, I'm your dad.

00:59:20Mom, don't worry about me.

00:59:23Don't come back with Uncle Richard.

00:59:25I can take care of myself.

00:59:37Fine.

00:59:43I'll come back with you.

00:59:45That's about it.

00:59:46This time, I'll make it right.

00:59:55I promise.

00:59:58Amy, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you.

01:00:07It's been two weeks since I came back.

01:00:22He hasn't called Evelyn once, and he even fired her.

01:00:30Honey.

01:00:33I'm home.

01:00:35Is it for you?

01:00:38It's too late, Richard.

01:00:40Stop wasting your time.

01:00:47Don't like these?

01:00:50Fine.

01:00:52What about these?

01:00:55Not to your taste, either.

01:00:57Well, just tell me what you like,

01:01:00and I'll have my assistant go and pick them up.

01:01:02What I want is to stay as far away from you as possible.

01:01:07Didn't I tell you to stop calling me?

01:01:26Richard, Evelyn tried to commit suicide.

01:01:29She cut her wrist because you won't come to see her.

01:01:32Come over to the hospital.

01:01:34Please.

01:01:36All right.

01:01:37I'm coming.

01:01:38Zoe, you bitch.

01:01:44I should have finished you off when I had the chance.

01:01:51But it doesn't matter now.

01:01:53Richard's coming.

01:01:56At the end of the day, it's me he loves the most.

01:01:59Richard, you're here.

01:02:08I'm sorry.

01:02:09I didn't mean to take my own life.

01:02:12I just...

01:02:13I missed you so much.

01:02:18Thank God you came.

01:02:20I knew.

01:02:21I knew you still cared.

01:02:22Look, I'm here to give you one final warning.

01:02:25Either you stop pestering me,

01:02:27or I'll have you sent over six.

01:02:30Richard!

01:02:31You used to love me so much, remember?

01:02:33Didn't you even risk your own life to save me once?

01:02:36Love you?

01:02:37The woman I love was kind.

01:02:41Not a venomous snake.

01:02:44Like you are now.

01:02:46What are you trying to say?

01:02:52Pathetic tricks.

01:02:54Time and time again.

01:02:57First you framed Zoe,

01:02:58now you're faking a suicide just to get my attention?

01:03:03Did you really think I wouldn't see right through you?

01:03:04Let me get this straight.

01:03:07The only woman I love is Zoe.

01:03:15You make me sick.

01:03:32Zoe!

01:03:33You bitch!

01:03:34I'll make you pay.

01:03:40Go to hell.

01:03:41If I can't have Richard,

01:03:43no one can.

01:03:44So, Amy,
