00:12:48What kind of husband lets his wife walk back to a hotel with weather like this, do you know?
00:13:16Why didn't you answer it?
00:13:29It's none of your business.
00:13:31None of my business.
00:13:33It's been seven years.
00:13:35Not a word.
00:13:36Now you just...
00:13:37You just want to show up happily married?
00:13:39Hmm?
00:13:40Really?
00:13:41Don't you think that I, who was your ex-fiancee, deserves an explanation?
00:13:47If you don't want to see me, I'll go.
00:13:50Let me tell you something.
00:13:51Let me tell you something.
00:13:52My sister died.
00:13:54My football career ended.
00:13:56Not a word from you after you left.
00:13:59Do you have any idea what I have been through?
00:14:02Hmm?
00:14:03Or let me guess.
00:14:05You just didn't care.
00:14:07How could you say that?
00:14:09Do you really think I'm that cold?
00:14:11I don't know.
00:14:12You tell me.
00:14:14He'll hate you until the day he dies.
00:14:23You and your family are dead to us.
00:14:29No.
00:14:30Get the hell out and never come back.
00:14:35Lay me free your life if that helps you sleep.
00:14:37Hmm.
00:14:42Let me out.
00:14:45Why?
00:14:46Because you're scared to be alone with me?
00:14:48Why?
00:14:49You don't want your husband to know that you were with me for five years?
00:14:51That I was the first man that you ever made love to?
00:14:55Shut up!
00:14:56Yeah, did you ever tell him that my tongue has traced every inch of your body?
00:14:59That you would scream my name every time you would come?
00:15:03Has he ever done that to you?
00:15:04Hmm?
00:15:05Has he?
00:15:06What?
00:15:09You're such a bastard.
00:15:23Mother?
00:15:24What are you doing here?
00:15:25I found this in your car.
00:15:28Don't tell me you were with that woman yesterday.
00:15:31It was raining and she needed a ride.
00:15:34Okay, it was a harmless encounter.
00:15:37Have you forgotten?
00:15:39You'd still have a sister if it weren't for that wretched woman.
00:15:43No, I have not forgotten.
00:15:45I heard she's married with a daughter.
00:15:47You've met them.
00:15:48And?
00:15:49You're still not over her.
00:15:52She's never cared about you going after a married woman.
00:15:59You've got no self-respect, have you?
00:16:01Okay.
00:16:04There's no need to worry.
00:16:05She has moved on with a new life and I'm not going to hold on to the past.
00:16:11I've spoken with Jessica.
00:16:14Our families are well matched.
00:16:17Think of the things she can give you.
00:16:20Stability, a family, a wife you can lean on.
00:16:25We'll see.
00:16:34Hey Natalie, I'm glad you could finally make it.
00:16:37The Shadow Group's legendary annual partnership is important, so try and look like you're having a good time.
00:16:44I will do my best to please our biggest client.
00:16:46Come on, let me introduce you to everyone.
00:16:48You're going to want to meet our newest team member.
00:16:51Everyone!
00:16:53This is Natalie, our brilliant new senior attorney.
00:16:57We stole her from the Chicago branch.
00:16:59She is an expert in IPO cases.
00:17:03With her on board, we are in a stronger position to help the Shadow Group go public.
00:17:07Wow, well, a pleasure to meet you Natalie.
00:17:09It sounds like my boss would be eager to meet you.
00:17:11He wants the public offering to go off without me.
00:17:14Well, that's why I'm here.
00:17:16Mr. Hayes, I've been waiting for you.
00:17:32What are you doing here?
00:17:36Do you two already know each other?
00:17:38Yes!
00:17:39No?
00:17:40What about that day seven years ago?
00:17:42In the field?
00:17:44Um, I just moved here from Chicago.
00:17:46Well, you know what?
00:17:48I must be mistaken.
00:17:50Yes, because I was wondering how our newest associate could possibly know you.
00:17:54Natalie, this is Carl Hayes, founder and CEO of the Shadow Group.
00:18:00This is Natalie Collins.
00:18:03It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hayes.
00:18:07You as well.
00:18:17Why is this tramp here?
00:18:19You ain't trying to steal my man again, are you?
00:18:21Love her!
00:18:22Hi!
00:18:23Jessica!
00:18:24Hi!
00:18:25Hi!
00:18:26Hi, Jessica!
00:18:27What are you doing here?
00:18:28Well, Delia said that you might need some rescuing, so I thought I'd whisk you away.
00:18:31Well, it looks like you two have a ton to talk about, so I'll leave you to it.
00:18:32Okay.
00:18:33Well, you know what, Miss Collins?
00:18:34I actually am going to need you for something.
00:18:35And you, Jessica.
00:18:36My driver will take you home.
00:18:37You!
00:18:38Come with me.
00:18:39Hi.
00:18:40Sit.
00:18:41Take him off.
00:18:42Take him off.
00:19:10Take them off
00:19:13Excuse me your shoes your feet are hurting you I can tell I'm fine
00:19:24You know I can always tell when you're lying because you get a little
00:19:28Funny crease between your eyebrows. Are you really gonna try to play this off for the next three hours?
00:19:33I mean come on. Where's your where's your husband? Doesn't he care about you at all?
00:19:37I
00:19:46Take care of myself
00:20:00Okay, come on
00:20:07Okay
00:20:11You were always so stubborn
00:20:15Do you remember the last time this happened to us?
00:20:17Yeah
00:20:19It was your NFL draft celebration party
00:20:22I wanted to look perfect for the party
00:20:25So I wore those god-awful three inch pommels
00:20:28And then you couldn't walk for like two days after that
00:20:32You were busy with the team, you didn't notice I was gone
00:20:34I noticed
00:20:48You know why'd you come back?
00:20:50What?
00:20:51No no seriously why didn't you just stay away forever like you were dead
00:20:55Of course
00:20:56Because you know seeing you again just it reminds me of everything that my family lost today
00:21:00And you just you just moved on like it was nothing
00:21:02That's not true
00:21:03It's not true really because you went and you got married and you had a kid and you know
00:21:07And you know Matt is gonna get out and he's gonna live the rest of his life
00:21:10But Joanna Joanna is always going to be 19 and I hate
00:21:14I hate
00:21:15I hate
00:21:16How unfair that is
00:21:18You know what?
00:21:19You're right
00:21:20It was Matt's fault for getting involved with the game
00:21:23But it was your family's fault for not disciplining Joanna
00:21:26Not mine
00:21:27I didn't force Joanna to date Matt
00:21:30Her death has nothing to do with me
00:21:32You know what?
00:21:34You have never changed
00:21:36You are still so cold and selfish
00:21:39I hate me all you want
00:21:42I don't care
00:21:43Why do you leave if you're already married?
00:21:50I didn't come back for you
00:21:54You and your mother can live in your hate
00:21:57Okay?
00:21:58Unlike you, I had to start a new life for myself
00:22:10Okay
00:22:11Mommy!
00:22:12Oh, I missed you so much
00:22:16I love you so much for taking care of my baby
00:22:21Of course, I'm his god mom
00:22:22I don't know anything for this cutie
00:22:24So, what do you say kiddo?
00:22:26Let's grab some ice cream and hot dogs
00:22:28And head over to have a picnic at that fancy new park that opened up?
00:22:31Yes!
00:22:32Yes!
00:22:33Let's go!
00:22:37I cannot believe you and Carl ended up in the same town again after all of these years
00:22:43I know
00:22:44What are you gonna do if he finds out about
00:22:46I mean
00:22:47He's gonna figure out the kid is his
00:22:49All you have to do is look at Patrick to see that he's Carl's
00:22:55He's gonna figure out the kid is his
00:22:56All you have to do is look at Patrick to see that he's Carl's
00:23:00I'll keep him separated
00:23:02I don't want to bring him into me and Carl's to miss the past
00:23:08I'm sorry
00:23:10It's too soon
00:23:12Thank you Mr. Hayes for donating the park to the public
00:23:15You know it's my pleasure, Mayor

00:24:57Well
00:24:58You did look a lot like you
00:24:59If I didn't know any better
00:25:00I'd say you have a secret son
00:25:01Okay
00:25:02Well that's just a coincidence
00:25:03Mommy
00:25:05Daddy gave this to me

00:25:46What?
00:25:50Carl
00:25:51The IPO filings are looking solid
00:25:53Let's make sure everything's in place
00:25:55We don't want any trouble with the SEC
00:25:58Why isn't Natalie Collins in this meeting?
00:26:01She asked for the day off
00:26:03It's Valentine's Day
00:26:04Probably on a hot date
00:26:06Bet she has men lining up too
00:26:10It's Valentine's Day
00:26:11Probably on a hot date
00:26:13Bet she has men lining up too
00:26:17Miss Natalie Collins is the lead on this IPO
00:26:20She does not miss meetings
00:26:22Now if this case is not important to the firm
00:26:24Or Miss Collins
00:26:25I'm more than happy to pull the plug
00:26:27On the entire thing altogether
00:26:29As a partner in this firm I assure you
00:26:31It is our top priority
00:26:33Allow you a candle
00:26:40Thanks for spending the day with me mommy
00:26:43There is nowhere else I'd rather be
00:26:46So what did you wish for?
00:26:47I can't tell you the wish will come true
00:26:50I'm sorry I'm sorry I forgot
00:26:51Yes Kevin?
00:26:52I just got out of a tense meeting with Carl Hayes about the IPO
00:27:04Why weren't you there?
00:27:05I already took care of everything before I left
00:27:08You didn't need me there
00:27:09He's threatening to cancel the project because he thinks that you're not taking it seriously
00:27:14He said what?
00:27:15The firm was considering promoting you to partner next year

00:28:38No thank you
00:28:40I am actually very happy where I am
00:28:42I'm actually here to discuss something with Mr. Hayes
00:28:45Discuss what?
00:28:46You just think you can show up here whenever you want
00:28:49And I'll drop everything
00:28:52This is business
00:28:54Don't make it personal
00:28:56Okay when you missed my meeting
00:28:58And played hooky
00:28:59It became my business
00:29:01I didn't play hooky
00:29:02I assure you I had a legitimate excuse for staying home that day
00:29:05Well your excuses are irrelevant
00:29:06You know you really should go
00:29:07Carl here was just handing the IPO filing over to me
00:29:10So
00:29:12Handing over the IP filing to you?
00:29:14You're seriously going to hand over the IPO case
00:29:16To a firm that has no experience with them?
00:29:19Well I'm sure they'll show up to me
00:29:21Let's make a bet
00:29:23Steve and I will play against each other
00:29:25And whoever makes a hole in one secures the deal
00:29:27What do you think Steve?
00:29:29You know I was the top golfer at this club last year
00:29:32You're not even dressed properly
00:29:33Just hit the ball
00:29:40Woo!
00:29:41If you want to change your mind
00:29:42It's not too late
00:29:48Okay
00:30:00A hole in one!
00:30:01Amazing!
00:30:03How did you do that?
00:30:04I wasn't around to compete last year
00:30:06That's the only reason why you won
00:30:10So?
00:30:11Are you willing to work with me now?
00:30:13The firm?
00:30:14Yes
00:30:15You?
00:30:16No
00:30:17You've got to be kidding me
00:30:18We'll talk in, uh, let's say, hmmm
00:30:21Seven years
00:30:23Don't let what happened between us get in the way of business
00:30:25Now that's exactly what happens when you sleep with a client
00:30:34The word of the client
00:30:35That's weird.
00:31:05You know, I really hate losing to ugly bitches like you, but I kind of like when you fight back, it makes me want to more.
00:31:22Stay away from me.
00:31:23I'll give you ten times what your law firm hates. You just have to open your legs for me, that's all.
00:31:29Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, call, call, call.
00:31:34This is a misunderstanding. One more word from you?
00:31:37I'll finish you. Get out of here.
00:31:42Hey, you okay?
00:31:45Thank you for saving me.
00:31:47My car's over here. Come with me, okay?
00:31:50Come on, get out.
00:31:52Oh no, Patrick's at home.
00:31:57Actually, I can just take an Uber. It's fine.
00:32:04You really can't take me home.
00:32:22Why not?
00:32:24Uh, because my husband. He wouldn't feel comfortable with another man driving me home.
00:32:30Okay, well whoever this guy is who's your husband, yeah, he's doing a really bad job because it seems like I'm always the one that's rescuing you.
00:32:38He's just busy with work.
00:32:41Really? Okay. Well, if you want to keep me as a client, I would stop fighting me on this if I was you.
00:32:52Time to go.
00:32:55Watch your step. Ready?
00:32:57Okay.
00:32:58Okay.
00:32:59Okay.
00:33:00Hmm.
00:33:01Patrick.
00:33:02How would you like to go to the park?
00:33:04Cool.
00:33:05Now.
00:33:06Okay.
00:33:07How would you like to go to the park?
00:33:21Cool.
00:33:22Now.
00:33:36What are you doing?
00:33:37I don't know.
00:33:38I just have like a hunch.
00:33:40Hmm.
00:33:41I don't know.
00:33:42It's weird.
00:33:43It looks like you have no men's clothes around here.
00:33:49Fine.
00:33:50There's no men's clothes in here because I'm not actually married.
00:33:55Oh.
00:33:56Wow.
00:33:57I'm shocked.
00:33:58I don't have to look so smug.
00:34:06Oh, so you do have a piece of men's clothing around here.
00:34:09What's this?
00:34:10Is this my old jersey?
00:34:14Is this my old jersey?
00:34:17That old thing.
00:34:18I completely forgot that it even existed.
00:34:20So you wouldn't care if I just threw it out?
00:34:24It's whatever, right?
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:27Wait, wait.
00:34:29Huh.
00:34:31Come on.
00:34:32You know, I guess you only gave a damn about me when I was throwing touchdowns on the football
00:34:35field.
00:34:36But I'm actually glad that you left because it gave me all the motivation in the world
00:34:40to get back on my feet and become very successful.
00:34:44You act like I abandoned you.
00:34:47Do you not recall why I left?
00:34:49What are you talking about?
00:34:52Okay.
00:34:54You know what?
00:34:55Where's your bathroom?
00:34:56I'll go get you a towel with my...
00:34:58Oh, no.
00:34:59If he goes in there, he's going to see Patrick's toothbrush and bath toys.
00:35:04Um...
00:35:05You should leave.
00:35:08I should leave?
00:35:10I've literally been here for five minutes and you're already pushing me out.
00:35:13Okay.
00:35:14Wait!
00:35:15I really appreciate you bringing me back here.
00:35:21I really do.
00:35:23I'm just not ready to explain everything to you yet.
00:35:27Here.
00:35:28You should take some cookies before you go.
00:35:40Did you make these?
00:35:41Um...
00:35:42I don't remember you being a baker, but...
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:45No.
00:35:46You wouldn't say that if you knew it was your son who made them.
00:35:52Fine.
00:35:53Don't take them then.
00:35:54No, no.
00:35:55Um...
00:35:56No, if you want the box back, you can come to the office tomorrow and we can discuss working
00:36:01together.
00:36:02Fine.
00:36:03Okay.
00:36:04I'll bring the IPO paperwork tomorrow.
00:36:07Uh...
00:36:08Actually...

00:36:49Oh...
00:36:50Well, you're gonna need an appointment to see our CEO.
00:36:53He's very busy.
00:36:54He's my daddy.
00:36:55What?
00:36:56Mr. Hayes has a kid?
00:36:58Since...
00:36:59When?
00:37:00Robin, can you please, um...
00:37:02Daddy, there you are!
00:37:06Hey!
00:37:07Ha!
00:37:08What are you doing here?
00:37:09I just want to say hi, Daddy.
00:37:12Well, you know what?
00:37:14I'm not your daddy.
00:37:16Kid, I'm sorry.
00:37:17But if me and Natalie had a child, you'd probably be around this age.
00:37:24I just want to say thank you for the coin.
00:37:28I loved it.
00:37:29That's why I came here today, to return the favor.
00:37:33Oh, really?
00:37:34Remember, at the park, I wanted to show you the most beautiful woman in the world, my mommy.
00:37:42But I could not find her.
00:37:44But I have her picture with me now.
00:37:47Can I see?
00:37:48Oh!
00:37:49If you put your number in here, I'll send you the picture of my beautiful mommy.
00:38:03Here's Mr. Carl's number.
00:38:15Just said in the photo there.
00:38:20Can you hold this?
00:38:21Yes.
00:38:34You see, buddy, this, um...
00:38:36This is not your mommy.
00:38:38That's a movie star.
00:38:39You know that?
00:38:40But it's just that mommy is really busy.
00:38:43She never has time to take fancy pictures.
00:38:46I swear.
00:38:47She's just as pretty as this lady.
00:38:50I swear.
00:38:51Alright.
00:38:52I, uh...
00:38:53I believe you.

00:39:32Okay.

00:52:56Thank you again for saving me.
00:53:02Listen, no matter what happens between us, I will always be there to protect you.
00:53:08Goodnight.
00:53:26We shouldn't.
00:53:44You might be inside.
00:53:46I... I...
00:53:48Come on, you...
00:53:50Was that from the attack?
00:53:52Hey, it's Hank.
00:53:53No, it's fine.
00:53:54It's fine.
00:53:55Okay, I wouldn't be here if it was now.
00:53:59I never did get to say thank you for saving me that day.
00:54:04Well, you can thank me by letting me inside so we can get to this conversation.
00:54:10I really can't.
00:54:12What are you hiding from me?
00:54:19Mommy, is that you?
00:54:21I'm sorry, did I just... Did I just hear somebody inside say mommy?
00:54:27No.
00:54:28It was just Alexa.
00:54:30Sometimes she says random things when it hears voices.
00:54:33Anyway.
00:54:35Goodnight.
00:54:38Alright.
00:54:40Goodnight.
00:54:41Honey, what are you doing out of bed?
00:54:51Mommy, who are you talking to?
00:54:54Nobody.
00:54:55Why don't you go back to bed?
00:54:57I'll tuck you in.
00:54:58Okay.
00:54:59I'll tuck you in.
00:55:00Okay.
00:55:07Why do you keep rescuing that tramp?
00:55:11So Jessica told you what happened.
00:55:13Hmm.
00:55:14That jealous little fool is holding on to you because she knows you've moved on to Jessica.
00:55:19Can't you see that?
00:55:20Mother, please stay out of my affairs.
00:55:25You've left me with no choice.
00:55:26No choice.
00:55:35Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from my son?
00:55:39Oh, Adelia.
00:55:41Carl and Jessica are engaged and in love.
00:55:45You've done enough damage to my family.
00:55:48Look, you've got it all wrong.
00:55:49I...
00:55:50Carl didn't feel anything for you after the stabbing.
00:55:52Just like he feels nothing now.
00:55:55We're just business partners.
00:55:57If I find out you're lying, I'll make a call to my friends at the DA's office.
00:56:01I'm sure they can dig up more charges on your brother.
00:56:10Carl sent me.
00:56:13Clearly you thought you needed the business.
00:56:15Yikes.
00:56:17What can I help you with, Jessica?
00:56:19We need you to draft a prenup.
00:56:22I can't believe him.
00:56:23Asking me to draft up their prenup?
00:56:26Is this his way of getting back at me?
00:56:29I can't believe him.
00:56:33That's nice.
00:56:34Yes.
00:56:37Adelia,
00:56:39Carl's been seeing Natalie every day.
00:56:42Should I just step aside and let them be together?
00:56:44Absolutely not!
00:56:47You're exactly the kind of girl I want my son to be with.
00:56:50I'll handle it.
00:56:55Joanna.
00:56:56No, no.
00:56:57Adelia, Adelia.
00:56:58That's not...
00:56:59That's not Joanna.
00:57:00Don't you remember?
00:57:01Joanna died because of that bitch Natalie.
00:57:04You okay?
00:57:05What's going on?
00:57:06Oh my god.
00:57:07Are you...
00:57:08Help!
00:57:09Help!
00:57:10Somebody help!
00:57:12It's okay.
00:57:13You're gonna be okay.
00:57:19What the hell happened?
00:57:20Just rest.
00:57:21Okay.
00:57:22She saw a girl that looked like Joanna and she just...
00:57:25She just ran after her, okay?
00:57:27You know, ever since Natalie returned, your mother's mental health has been getting worse.
00:57:32I think you should end things with her.
00:57:35You know, your mother wants me in your life now.
00:57:37Well, let me tell you something.
00:57:39Natalie is the one that I love, so I think you should stay out of it because you're the one that's turning my mother away from her.
00:57:47Out of all the women in the world, she's still the one you choose?
00:57:51Has she killed your sister?
00:57:54Or did you forget that?
00:57:55Okay, mother.
00:57:56You alright?
00:57:57Let's calm down.
00:57:59Why should I?
00:58:01My son has lost his mind over some slu-
00:58:06Okay, mother.
00:58:08Alright.
00:58:09Look at me.
00:58:10Relax.
00:58:11Get out.
00:58:12Because you can't have both of us. It's either me or her.
00:58:17Okay, hey.
00:58:19Relax.
00:58:20Alright, yeah, Joanna is gone, but I'm still with Natalie. Nothing has changed.
00:58:24If it wasn't for her, you could have saved your sister.
00:58:28Yeah?
00:58:29Well, you know what? Joanna fell in with the wrong crowd.
00:58:32You and I did nothing to stop her.
00:58:33None of that was Natalie.
00:58:35We failed Joanna, not Natalie.
00:58:37How dare you?
00:58:38And you know what? I have spent the last seven years protecting my happiness for you.
00:58:44Not anymore. You can contact me when you're ready to accept Natalie.
00:59:08Okay.
00:59:24Okay.
00:59:26What?
00:59:27Hi.
00:59:29Oh my...
00:59:30Why are you?!
00:59:31What do you want?!
00:59:32Hey, listen!
00:59:33I will never give up on you, okay? On me, on you, ever. I promise, no matter what.
00:59:44Okay, uh, there we go. Remind me of your assistant's name. You can be his problem.
00:59:55Okay.
00:59:59No. What do you want from me?
01:00:02No. My fiancée.
01:00:12Tell your fiancée I'm not interested in your guys' prenup, okay?
01:00:18What prenup?
01:00:19The one Jessica said you wanted!
01:00:21Who said I wanted a prenup with her?
01:00:26Don't do this.
01:00:32Hey. There's never been anyone that I've ever thought about. You are the only one.
01:00:47Just one more night.
01:00:49Patrick's about to wake up. He can't see Carl in my bed.
01:00:59Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
01:01:17Why? What's wrong? Shhh.
01:01:19Shh!
01:01:20Come in.
01:01:21For what?
01:01:22Get up!
01:01:23Why?
01:01:24Where do I have to go?
01:01:25Come on.
01:01:26Please.
01:01:27Okay.
01:01:28I don't know why you have to leave.
01:01:29It's not like we're having an affair.
01:01:30I'm sorry.
01:01:31Oh.
01:01:32Oh.
01:01:33Oh.
01:01:34Oh.
01:01:35Oh.
01:01:36Oh.
01:01:37Oh.
01:01:38Oh.
01:01:39Oh.
01:01:40Oh.
01:01:41Oh.
01:01:42Oh.
01:01:43Oh.
01:01:44Oh.
01:01:45Oh.
01:01:46Oh.
01:01:47Oh.
01:01:48Oh.
01:01:49Oh.
01:01:55Mommy.
01:01:56I dreamed that you were talking to someone again.
01:02:00What?
01:02:01No.
01:02:02It was the delivery man.
01:02:06One of Mommy's friends got you a late birthday present.
01:02:13What does this pattern mean?
01:02:14Well.
01:02:15This right here.
01:02:16Is a Mobius ring.
01:02:17It's when two people who start off in the same place go around alone.
01:02:26Then end up together again at the beginning.
01:02:27Oh.
01:02:28Oh.
01:02:29Oh.
01:02:30Oh.
01:02:31Oh.
01:02:32Oh.
01:02:33Oh.
01:02:34Oh.
01:02:35Oh.
01:02:36Oh.
01:02:37Oh.
01:02:38Oh.
01:02:39Oh.
01:02:40Oh.
01:02:41Are you crazy?
01:03:04I'm just going after what I want.
01:03:13Where are your gifts?
01:03:15Let me tell you something.
01:03:21I handpicked every single one of those gifts for you.
01:03:25You were drunk last night Carl.
01:03:26It doesn't mean anything.
01:03:28Yes it does.
01:03:29How is it?
01:03:30Living with Jessica by the way.
01:03:32Who told you that?
01:03:33Because we are not living together.
01:03:35And we are definitely not engaged.
01:03:37Yeah right.
01:03:39Are you jealous?
01:03:42As if.
01:03:44Your mom would never allow us to be together anyway.
01:03:46Absolutely no one will stop me from being with you.
01:03:50Not even my mother.
01:03:52She will come around.
01:03:55I promise.
01:03:57Once you settle things with Odelia,
01:03:59I'll finally tell you what I've been keeping from you.
01:04:02We failed Joanna.
01:04:09Not Natalie.
01:04:10How dare you.
01:04:11And you know what?
01:04:12I have spent the last seven years protecting my happiness for you.
01:04:16Not anymore.
01:04:18Baby.
01:04:19If only I paid more attention to you back then.
01:04:23Maybe you'd still be here.
01:04:25It's okay man.
01:04:50It's okay mom.
01:04:53She understands.
01:04:56I'm so sorry.
01:04:58I've been such a terrible mother.
01:05:01I've cost you so much pain.
01:05:04Mom.
01:05:07All of this is in the past.
01:05:09Okay?
01:05:10And Joanna would not want you to live the rest of your life in regret.
01:05:14Hey Carl.
01:05:20My mom wants to apologize.
01:05:23She invited us to dinner so just let me know when you're off work.
01:05:26Really?
01:05:27Odelia's ready to accept us?
01:05:30Beep, beep, beep, beep.
01:05:44Carl belongs to me.
01:05:47It's time to do what I should have done a long time ago.
01:05:52Mommy, you're awake.
01:06:04Mommy.
01:06:06What are you?
01:06:12What do you want?
01:06:13If it's money, I can pay.
01:06:15She doesn't want your money.
01:06:18She wants you and your kid out of the way.
01:06:24I'll tell you in the morning so you can die knowing who did this to you.
01:06:31Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
01:06:39Hey, listen, I've been expecting Natalie for over an hour now.
01:06:44Did she leave work?
01:06:45She did leave the office, but that was a few hours ago.
01:06:56Henry, hey, listen, Natalie is missing.
01:06:59I'm going to need you to make some calls.
01:07:00Also, I'm going to need the surveillance footage from her office from the last few hours.
01:07:04Can you do that?
01:07:05Yeah, I'm going to need to know exactly where Natalie's at.
01:07:19Yeah.
01:07:20Boss, no one's seen Natalie.
01:07:22All the office surveillance footage for the last few hours has been wiped clean.
01:07:26Yes, hello, Police Chief Garcia.
01:07:34Listen, this is Carl Hayes.
01:07:36I'm going to need a big favor from you, and I'm going to need it right now.
01:07:40no one's seen.
01:07:45Hopefully that's a little Valый that won't be playing so hard to understand.
01:07:48I know that you need an election of their offices all day long, my identity athlete become together all day long.
01:07:52Please help me.
01:07:53Hey, what!
01:07:54Please help me.
01:07:55You've spoken with two hospitals.
01:07:56Cheers!
01:07:57Watching longearsien!
01:07:58I tell you that they've been following me.
01:07:59A agency Jahan is trying to plan to take miles away from your path,
01:08:04Do you?
01:08:04Do you?
01:08:06Yes.
01:08:07I tell you that you....
01:08:08That's the necklace I gave Natalie.
01:08:15Patrick is my son.
01:08:24What? Where the hell did that come from, kid?
01:08:32Alright, let's deal with you first, shall we?
01:08:38Let go of me! You have no rent!
01:08:40Actually, we traced a recent $100,000 payment from you to the kidnapper here.
01:08:45You said no one was going to notice if she's gone. Now the whole city's hunting for her!
01:08:50Odelia, please, this is all just a big misunderstanding, okay? I don't even know the man!
01:08:55Get her out of my sight!
01:08:57Yes, ma'am. Let's go, Missy.
01:08:59No, no, please! It must be!
01:09:08Daddy, I knew you would come to save us!
01:09:18He looks just like Carl when Carl was his age.
01:09:23He's really my son, isn't he?
01:09:35I was gonna tell you the day you proposed.
01:09:38Mommy, Daddy, we're finding your family now!
01:09:48I'm so sorry for everything I put you through over the years.
01:09:59Natalie, please accept these gifts.
01:10:03A title deed to two villas, a Maserati key, and some custom jewelry.
01:10:22Odelia, you didn't have to do all this!
01:10:26I can't believe I left you to raise Patrick alone for seven years.
01:10:34It was me.
01:10:36I was the one who drove Natalie away.
01:10:39Mom, what are you saying?
01:10:40When you were in the hospital after the stabbing, I told her that you didn't want to see her again.
01:10:47I thought you hated me.
01:10:52And I thought that you abandoned me and never wanted to see me again.
01:10:57I'll never come between the two of you again.
01:11:02I forgive you.
01:11:07As a mother, I can only imagine how the death of Joanna affected you.
01:11:13These are for you.
01:11:20I hope you like them.
01:11:22Thanks, Grandma.
01:11:30From now on, you'll have everything you could ever want.
01:11:34And all the love in the world.
01:11:36You're the one who's in the world.
01:11:59I'm so cute.
01:12:01I'm so excited.
01:12:03Where are they?
01:12:22What's going on?
01:12:25Oh, you'll see.
01:12:33Natalie, my love, this wedding has been a long time coming.
01:12:48Mommy!
01:12:50Can I get this?
01:12:58A momentous ring.
01:13:13Just like you always wanted.
01:13:17Truly beloved, we are gathered in this beautiful setting to celebrate a union of two souls.
01:13:27They have endured great hardship, but their love has survived.
01:13:37Better late than never.
01:13:40And from now on, it's you and me.
01:13:45Always and firm.
01:13:48Yeah.
01:13:49Mm-hmm .
01:13:50Yeah.
01:13:51Yeah.
01:13:52Mm-hmm .
01:13:53Mm-hmm .
