00:11:00he gets volatile
00:11:01and all that stress
00:11:02your honor
00:11:04the only way that andrew could ever have enough time for his child
00:11:07is if he worked less
00:11:08and it stands to reason that mrs carrington
00:11:11who has been by mr carrington's side throughout the entire tenure of his career
00:11:15should be granted the request of half of his business assets
00:11:19in addition to other items listed
00:11:21this is insane
00:11:22see
00:11:23always choosing business over his own child
00:11:27i will give you time to go over the terms
00:11:31you're not getting half of my company
00:11:33i advise you to examine this document thoroughly
00:11:37it's common for
00:11:39the mother to gain full custody of the children
00:11:42myers get in here
00:11:53schedule is not on my desk
00:11:55you're fired

00:12:09it's
00:12:11in your in file
00:12:12right this way mr caldwell

00:16:41you
00:16:42you
00:16:54I don't know.
00:17:24I don't know.
00:17:54Well, that's a very big book.
00:17:57I can't talk to you because I'm in time out.
00:18:00Ah, makes sense.
00:18:03Why are you in time out?
00:18:05I ask too many questions.
00:18:07Sounds like you're very curious.
00:18:09Dad says that's a good thing, but Mara says I'm annoying.
00:18:14There's nothing wrong with asking questions.
00:18:17Not ever.
00:18:19There isn't?
00:18:20No.
00:18:22Questions are good.
00:18:25But sometimes people don't like questions because they don't like the answers.
00:18:32You talk like the books I like.
00:18:34You smell like a strawberry.
00:18:41You got a little fuzzy right there.
00:18:45Here.
00:18:45You can have it.
00:18:48I'll treasure it.
00:18:49You're late.
00:19:00So are you.
00:19:01Bosses can't be late.
00:19:03Okay, but I'm only slightly late.
00:19:06You're forgiven.
00:19:06Is there someone in my office?
00:19:16This is my office.
00:19:18Just keeping the seat warm for you.
00:19:20Plus, I've got some good news.
00:19:22Caldwell reconsidered the deal.
00:19:24What?
00:19:24How?
00:19:25I told you.
00:19:26We go way back.
00:19:28I renegotiated and smoothed things over.
00:19:32You're welcome.
00:19:33Well, that wasn't your place.
00:19:35You're right.
00:19:37Maybe you should take that brunch meeting with Caldwell instead.
00:19:40Sign those papers personally.
00:19:42Show them who's really in charge.
00:19:44You're being nice.
00:19:46You're never nice.
00:19:48You're my son.
00:19:49And I believe in you.
00:19:51And in money.
00:19:59Phase two initiated.
00:20:05Eric, Eric, are you okay?
00:20:16What's wrong?
00:20:18Tommy.
00:20:19It's okay, baby.
00:20:20Mommy's here.
00:20:21Mommy's here.
00:20:22Took the chalk and drew beautiful pictures all over the unfinished walls.
00:20:31Did you just read that by yourself?
00:20:34Miss Jasper helped a little.
00:20:36But yeah, I did it.
00:20:38That's so good.
00:20:39I'm so proud of you.
00:20:41So can you come home now?
00:20:43You don't have to be mad anymore.
00:20:46No, honey.
00:20:46I'm not mad.
00:20:48I could never be mad at you.
00:20:50But that's why you left.
00:20:51Because I messed up at school?
00:20:54No.
00:20:56No.
00:20:57Okay?
00:20:57Mommy took this job because she's trying to build the type of life that you deserve.
00:21:02Honey, I love you more than anything in this world.
00:21:06I'm doing this for you.
00:21:08Okay.
00:21:09Since I've read so good, can we have pizza for dinner?
00:21:15We'll see when I get home.
00:21:17How about you read for me again?
00:21:21You.
00:21:22Uh, baby, mommy has to go.
00:21:27I love you.
00:21:29Can I help you?
00:21:31How did you...
00:21:32You don't...
00:21:39I'm here to see Andrew.
00:21:43Uh, he's out on a brunch meeting.
00:21:45Oh, so he missed his visitation slot with Leo?
00:21:48Uh, I don't know.
00:21:52I'm only aware of his business schedule.
00:21:56Not a very good assistant, are you?
00:21:59Would you like to leave a message?
00:22:01Yes.
00:22:03Tell him that his soon-to-be ex-wife dropped by.
00:22:09Actually, never mind.
00:22:11I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm gonna call my lawyer, and I'll let her know that he missed his parenting time with Leo.
00:22:28Miss Myers, I told you...
00:22:30Your wife just showed up, okay?
00:22:32You have scheduled time with Leo right now.
00:22:34She's calling her lawyer.
00:22:36Shit.
00:22:37No, no, the Caldwell thing can't wait.
00:22:39You have to decide what's more important.
00:22:41Your job, or your child.
00:22:46Leo, Leo, of course.
00:22:47Always Leo.
00:22:49But if I lose this Caldwell thing, I'll lose my job.
00:22:52The board already wants my head.
00:22:54Get back to your son.
00:22:56I'll handle Caldwell.
00:22:57I know, he's just not gonna reschedule again.
00:23:00I've got it.
00:23:00I'll take the meeting.
00:23:02Okay.
00:23:03Do not let him leave without signing.
00:23:06You can count on me, Mr. Carrington.
00:23:08He missed the visitation window.
00:23:14This is the final straw.
00:23:16You're my lawyer.
00:23:17I want full custody, and I want it in writing by tomorrow afternoon.
00:23:26I turned your frown upside down.
00:23:29We still have ten minutes, so you should go.
00:23:33Forget it.
00:23:33Is it my fault you and Mommy don't live together anymore?
00:23:41No.
00:23:42No, absolutely not.
00:23:43Well, then why do you guys argue all the time?
00:23:47Well, Mommy and I just have some trouble understanding each other.
00:23:51But we always have.
00:23:52I promise that has nothing to do with you.
00:23:56Mara yells at me a lot.
00:23:58How come she doesn't like me?
00:23:59No, buddy, she loves you.
00:24:02Just in her own way.
00:24:04Even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it.
00:24:06But what if she wins the divorce and I don't see you anymore?
00:24:09Hey, look at me.
00:24:12I'm not going anywhere, Leo.
00:24:14You and I are always gonna be together.
00:24:16Promise?
00:24:17Promise.
00:24:18Mr. Caldwell.
00:24:29A pleasure.
00:24:31So Andrew sends his secretary now?
00:24:36I was promoted to junior executive.
00:24:40Effective this morning.
00:24:42Well, this brunch was scheduled with the CEO.
00:24:45I cleared my whole morning for this.
00:24:47Your meeting was with Andrew Carrington.
00:24:50And he's had some matters arise, hence he's entrusted me as proxy.
00:24:54Well, I don't do deals with middlemen.
00:24:57It's just brunch, Mr. Caldwell.
00:24:59Merely a courtesy, well within my capacity.
00:25:03Well, seemingly not important enough for Mr. Carrington to show up himself.
00:25:07Or send a real executive.
00:25:10Mr. Caldwell.
00:25:11What?
00:25:11I'm real enough to understand you don't have any serious interest in continuing business with us.
00:25:19Good day.
00:25:20Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:25:22Let's not be hasty.
00:25:24No.
00:25:25I don't see any reasons to continue subjecting myself to your rude behavior.
00:25:29Listen, I didn't mean anything by...
00:25:32Let's...
00:25:33Let's discuss this.
00:25:35Have a seat.
00:25:39No.
00:25:42Let's talk numbers.
00:25:47I'll see you later, bud.
00:25:48You know, she's charming.
00:25:50Who?
00:25:52Your new secretary or assistant or whatever she is.
00:25:55She said you were at a brunch meeting.
00:25:58Oh, yeah.
00:25:59Grace.
00:26:00She was just hired.
00:26:01You know, she doesn't seem particularly qualified.
00:26:05Do you owe her a favor or something?
00:26:08She applied.
00:26:09HR approved her.
00:26:11Why?
00:26:18No reason.
00:26:20Just be careful.
00:26:21She's harmless.
00:26:23Perhaps.
00:26:25But I know the way you look at someone when you think no one's watching.
00:26:29What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:31Nothing.
00:26:33There's nothing going on.
00:26:35Just make sure this new secretary doesn't become a liability.
00:26:39Things are hard on Leo, as is.
00:26:48Caldwell didn't sign the agreement.
00:26:52You told me you could handle it.
00:26:53Caldwell didn't sign the original agreement.
00:26:58He signed an even better one.
00:27:00What?
00:27:07This...
00:27:08This is incredible.
00:27:10I mean...
00:27:11You protect our margins and...
00:27:13The 12-month extension?
00:27:14How did you do this?
00:27:15I used your negotiation method from the Linwood acquisition.
00:27:19You've been studying my deals?
00:27:21I wanted to be prepared.
00:27:23Well, we'll need to prep the new contract packet for legal.
00:27:26The long night ahead of us.
00:27:28Well, I can't believe we finished this in one night.
00:27:35Not bad for a secretary.
00:27:37Uh, about that, I may have told Caldwell I was a junior executive.
00:27:44You what?
00:27:44He wouldn't meet with me otherwise.
00:27:46I don't want to make a liar of me now.
00:27:49Well, that's incredibly helpful and ambitious from someone so underqualified.
00:27:52I got the job done.
00:27:54I guess it shows how worthless those qualifications are.
00:27:57Yeah, well, those qualifications are a requirement for the job you want, so...
00:28:01Well, then I guess I just have to go tell Caldwell the truth.
00:28:05Wait.
00:28:09Wait.
00:28:09You're promoted.
00:28:14Now, if you'll excuse me, I...
00:28:16Well, you're a junior executive now.
00:28:19You have a lot more responsibility.
00:28:21You leave when I say you do.
00:28:24But I have to go.
00:28:26Why?
00:28:27You don't have a husband or kids to go home to?
00:28:31You are married.
00:28:33You should go home.
00:28:35It's not a marriage.
00:28:36I go home to 9,000 square feet of solitude.
00:28:40Well, that's a shame.
00:28:42Someone who works as hard as you should have someone to go home to.
00:28:46It's so strange.
00:28:47It's like whenever you're near, everyone else just disappears.
00:28:53We shouldn't.
00:28:54We shouldn't work.
00:28:55We're not doing any more.
00:28:59Don't cheat.
00:29:00I don't want you to get in trouble.
00:29:02It's not cheating if we don't kiss or take our clothes off.
00:29:04You don't have the self-control.
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15Why does it feel like I know exactly how to touch you?
00:29:17Prove it, then.
00:29:23You bitch.
00:29:30Miss Myers.
00:29:32Mr. Carrington.
00:29:33Incredible work today.
00:29:39Expect no less from your best junior executive.
00:29:46You should go.
00:29:49Did I do something wrong?
00:29:50No.
00:29:51No.
00:29:53But if you don't go, I might.
00:29:54I might.
00:29:54I might.
00:29:54I might.
00:29:56You got a little fuzzy right there.
00:30:15Here.
00:30:16You can have it.
00:30:18I'll treasure it.
00:30:19Hello.
00:30:27Hi.
00:30:28Standard DNA relationship test?
00:30:31Yes.
00:30:32Maternal match.
00:30:34Results typically come in in a couple of hours.
00:30:36How would you like to be notified?
00:30:37Through email or text?
00:30:38Text is fine.
00:30:40Okay.
00:30:40I just, I need to know.
00:30:48Miss Myers.
00:30:50May I see you in my office, please?
00:30:52Uh, okay.
00:30:53Be right there.
00:30:54We've received an anonymous complaint regarding you and Mr. Carrington.
00:31:06A complaint?
00:31:08Inappropriate behavior involving after-hours proximity and unprofessional conduct.
00:31:15If substantiated, it would be a violation of our non-fraternization policy.
00:31:21It's, it's not what you think, Ms. Gordon.
00:31:23I'm not here to judge.
00:31:25Just advice.
00:31:26Your position has already been elevated.
00:31:29And you've come far quickly.
00:31:31Which makes you vulnerable to allegations.
00:31:36If you go against corporate policy, your job would be compromised.
00:31:41I'd recommend keeping your professional distance from Mr. Carrington.
00:31:45Living forward.
00:31:47Just to be on the safe side.
00:31:51Thank you for letting me know.
00:31:56Good morning, Mr. Junior Executive.
00:31:58Care for something hot to drink?
00:32:00Good morning, Mr. Carrington.
00:32:02You have three voicemails and two messages marked urgent from legal.
00:32:06What?
00:32:07It's the tie, right?
00:32:08I knew it.
00:32:09It's the tie.
00:32:09The legal packets are color-coded by priority.
00:32:12There's a queer coming at 10.
00:32:15Right.
00:32:18Must have misread that situation.
00:32:32Talk to me.
00:32:33I just got a call from Myra's attorney.
00:32:35They receive photos, clear ones, of you and your assistant in close proximity after hours.
00:32:42You've got to be kidding me.
00:32:43They're arguing infidelity and questionable character.
00:32:46They're trying to avoid the custody agreement, Andrew.
00:32:49This is a setup.
00:32:51She planned this.
00:32:52She planted someone in my office building.
00:32:54The setup is probably the hot secretary.
00:32:58She could have been part of their plan from the beginning.
00:33:06Ms. Myers, get in here!
00:33:09We're not supposed to...
00:33:10I want to know why you did it.
00:33:12Did what?
00:33:13Why you seduced me, betrayed me, got photos of me on record and sent them to Myra.
00:33:17What did they promise you?
00:33:18Are you serious?
00:33:20You think I set you up?
00:33:21You played me and it cost me my son!
00:33:24I would never do that.
00:33:25I would never use someone's child as a weapon.
00:33:28Yeah?
00:33:28Then why do they have those photos?
00:33:29I don't know.
00:33:32I can't believe I believed you'd felt something.
00:33:34I didn't fake what I felt in that room.
00:33:36I couldn't.
00:33:37Yeah?
00:33:38And that cheap seduction act?
00:33:39Oh, don't flatter yourself.
00:33:40I didn't have to seduce you.
00:33:42You were already there.
00:33:45You feel what I feel.
00:33:48You know how bad I want you.
00:33:49You're just too scared to admit how bad you want me.
00:33:54Okay.
00:33:56I believe you.
00:33:57I ran in on it with Myra.
00:34:00It doesn't matter.
00:34:01I'm done.
00:34:03We...
00:34:03We didn't even do anything.
00:34:11Send me the photos.
00:34:13Why?
00:34:14Because I told you to.
00:34:15Oh, see?
00:34:24We weren't kissing or even undressed.
00:34:29Is it legally infidelity if we didn't have sex?
00:34:33Technically, no.
00:34:36To my seat at the board?
00:34:37To my company.
00:34:39Back where it belongs.
00:34:39With the photos.
00:34:49The legal threats.
00:34:52They'll crumble.
00:35:01Did his lawyer call?
00:35:02Is that all done?
00:35:03What do you mean he doesn't care about the photos?
00:35:14What do you mean they don't care about the photos?
00:35:16Exactly what I just said!
00:35:18My stupid lawyer says that without proof of sexual liaison,
00:35:21the photos aren't substantial enough to merit infidelity.
00:35:25Call her bluff.
00:35:27Maybe I didn't give enough credit to that son of mine.
00:35:29I guess we'll have to go to plan B.
00:35:34Plan B?
00:35:35The photos won't convince a judge of infidelity.
00:35:38Fine.
00:35:39But we can still leak the photos to the board and create a public scandal.
00:35:44Oh, you are ruthless.
00:35:47But he's your son.
00:35:49All's fair in love and war, my dear.
00:35:52When they see him entangled with his secretary in this prolonged divorce settlement,
00:35:56they'll fear the scandal will go public and create instability.
00:35:59That's when I'll rush to his rescue.
00:36:02And while he's on leave, we'll take over the company.
00:36:05And once we have the company in our control?
00:36:08We can finally be together.
00:36:10Oh.
00:36:11To power.
00:36:12And those strong enough to take it.
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:14Okay, we got you out of hot water for now.
00:36:22But we've got to make sure this sticks.
00:36:24Which means you and Grace can't be alone together ever again.
00:36:29I'll be over my son.
00:36:52I think you're in the wrong room.
00:37:10No.
00:37:11I'm not.
00:37:13We don't have an appointment.
00:37:14Don't act like you don't remember me.
00:37:16I'm not acting anything.
00:37:19Now, if you excuse me...
00:37:20I have proof.
00:37:22DNA test.
00:37:25The child is mine.
00:37:26And I know where he is.
00:37:27Oh, yes.
00:37:34I do remember you now.
00:37:37That poor, confused girl.
00:37:40You were unstable, sedated.
00:37:43The chart-
00:37:43Stop lying.
00:37:45You delivered two babies.
00:37:47You knew and you let them take him.
00:37:51When Andrew Carrington finds help.
00:37:53Ms. Myers, you have no idea how dangerous these people are.
00:37:58I know exactly what's going on.
00:38:01For the first time in seven years, and you're going to tell me everything.
00:38:05Or I'm going straight to the police.
00:38:11They made me do it.
00:38:13They threatened me with malpractice.
00:38:15If I didn't cooperate, they would have ruined me.
00:38:19I'm sorry you lost a child.
00:38:22I didn't lose him.
00:38:23He was stolen.
00:38:25You're tangling with people that can erase lives, Ms. Myers.
00:38:29If you push too far, they won't just keep the one they have.
00:38:33They'll take Eric, too.
00:38:35Let them try.
00:38:37I will save my sons.
00:38:42Both of them.
00:38:42I will save my sons.
00:38:53Andrew, I need to talk to you.
00:38:55Alone.
00:38:56What?
00:38:56I can't right now.
00:38:58It's important.
00:39:00Well, if you have something you need to say, you can say to me in public, or just email
00:39:03it to me.
00:39:03Please.
00:39:07It's important.
00:39:10Okay.
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:16It's an emergency board meeting now.
00:39:19Do you care to explain the photos?
00:39:25Yeah.
00:39:25My lawyer has already addressed this issue.
00:39:27It doesn't require any further consideration.
00:39:29The board does not concur.
00:39:31As long as my private affairs don't interfere with company business, and there's no reason
00:39:36that we have this board meeting.
00:39:37Unfortunately, it has interfered with company business, Andrew.
00:39:41Someone leaked the photos to the press, and with your divorce still pending, the stock
00:39:45price has already taken a hit.
00:39:47Investors are starting to ask questions.
00:39:49Well, who leaked these photos?
00:39:50Does it matter?
00:39:51We have a duty to protect the company's reputation and image.
00:39:55The idea has been suggested that you step down until your divorce settlement is complete.
00:39:59Yeah, that's not happening.
00:40:00Just a short-term sabbatical until we can conduct an internal investigation.
00:40:05To quell any doubts.
00:40:07Don't you see?
00:40:07This is a smear tactic.
00:40:09My ex-wife has played every single member of this board.
00:40:12Mr. Carrington, we will take that into consideration.
00:40:16I'm calling a vote.
00:40:17All those in favor of Andrew Carrington being temporarily relieved of his position pending
00:40:22the investigation, say aye.
00:40:27Aye.
00:40:29It's a tie?
00:40:32I keep my position.
00:40:33I'm sorry, my boy.
00:40:34Dad?
00:40:36No.
00:40:37Effective immediately.
00:40:38The board has voted to suspend your duties as CEO pending the outcome of the investigation.
00:40:52I heard what happened.
00:40:54I'm so sorry.
00:40:57Don't be.
00:40:57It was inevitable.
00:41:00You don't deserve this.
00:41:03It doesn't matter.
00:41:04It's done.
00:41:05I'm sure you'll figure it out.
00:41:07Why are you being so positive about this?
00:41:10They're gonna terminate you, too.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15Why?
00:41:16It's for my secretary.
00:41:18If I'm not here, they don't need you.
00:41:20I'm a junior executive.
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:23Under me.
00:41:25You're tied to the photos.
00:41:27We're doing a full investigation.
00:41:29Okay.
00:41:30No.
00:41:30It's fine.
00:41:32I'll just use severance pay and find a new job.
00:41:34Severance pay?
00:41:36There's no severance pay.
00:41:37There's no unemployment.
00:41:38It's illegal technicality.
00:41:40We're screwed.
00:41:41I need this job.
00:41:43How can you just sit there and give up?
00:41:45What do you want me to do?
00:41:46I don't have any power anymore.
00:41:51I mean, at least we can be alone together in the same room now.
00:41:58Earlier, you were gonna tell me something.
00:42:02Nothing to concern yourself with.
00:42:06I thought you were someone else.
00:42:07I thought you were someone else.
00:42:10Grace, thank you for sitting with me to discuss Eric's progress.
00:42:21I know he's getting behind again, but he's trying.
00:42:25He's doing his best.
00:42:26He's faltering in three core metrics.
00:42:30How is his tutoring going?
00:42:33Good.
00:42:34It's going well.
00:42:36Really?
00:42:36Are you certain?
00:42:40Oh, Grace.
00:42:43I phoned Miss Jasper when Eric started to regress.
00:42:46I thought I could help with something,
00:42:49and she informed me that Eric actually ceased his tutoring.
00:42:54We had to stop, but just temporarily, I lost my job.
00:42:59Yes, I saw the photos in the news.
00:43:01I'm gonna get a new job soon, or I'll get my old one back, and we will get Eric back on track.
00:43:09You failed to disclose that Eric was no longer receiving special support, which is a breach of the learning plan agreement.
00:43:18I didn't want to admit that I couldn't afford to help my son.
00:43:23Grace, if it were up to me, I would have the school take responsibility for the resources that Eric needs, but that isn't the case.
00:43:35You leave me no choice but to withdraw his enrollment.
00:43:39Please, please don't punish him for my mistake.
00:43:42He's struggling, Grace, and without the appropriate resources, you're doing him more harm than good.
00:43:48And I'm doing everything that I can.
00:43:51I believe that.
00:43:53But this is final.
00:43:55Today is Eric's last day at the school.
00:44:03We've hired an investigator to look into Mr. Carrington.
00:44:06In the meantime, the session has been brought to order to resolve our leadership vacuum.
00:44:11Until the investigation concludes, we need a temporary CEO.
00:44:16Gentlemen, I don't make this offer lightly, but as the former CEO and father to Andrew Carrington, I know this company.
00:44:24I built it up from the brick-and-mortar operation that my father built before me.
00:44:29I have no ambition other than to protect its legacy.
00:44:33But mark my words, continuity is what is needed right now, not lamenting over my son's many failures.
00:44:40So it's with a heavy heart, but a clear mind, that I nominate myself, Victor J. Carrington, for the role of CEO.
00:44:53Victor Carrington has nominated himself for temporary CEO.
00:44:57Do I have a second?
00:44:58Second.
00:45:00All right.
00:45:01We'll proceed to a vote.
00:45:03Board majority rules?
00:45:04All in favor?
00:45:07Aye.
00:45:07Tie.
00:45:09Tie.
00:45:10Careful now.
00:45:12No vote for me.
00:45:13As you said, this isn't a time for sentiment.
00:45:16Since the vote was a tie, we will move on to other nominations.
00:45:19I didn't get to vote yet.
00:45:23I vote Victor Carrington for temporary CEO.
00:45:28Motion passes.
00:45:30Effective immediately, Victor Carrington will serve as interim CEO, pending the conclusion of the current investigation.
00:45:37What are you doing here?
00:45:54I know.
00:45:55It's after hours.
00:45:56I meant to come earlier.
00:45:57But regardless, I'm just here to apologize.
00:45:59For what?
00:46:00Getting me fired or having HR delay my final paycheck?
00:46:03I didn't authorize.
00:46:04You haven't been paid?
00:46:06I'll have that fixed immediately.
00:46:07I think you don't have that power anymore.
00:46:09I'll find a way.
00:46:10Not soon enough for it to matter, you won't.
00:46:12Here, how much do you need?
00:46:14I don't.
00:46:14I don't want your money.
00:46:16I want the money that I earned.
00:46:17It's just to tide you over.
00:46:18It's still the money you earned.
00:46:19I don't want anything from you.
00:46:21Grace, listen.
00:46:23I didn't just come here to apologize.
00:46:25I had to see you.
00:46:26I can't stop thinking about you.
00:46:29You're always just in my head, like this secret that I forgot.
00:46:32Or, I don't know, maybe I don't understand it.
00:46:35It just feels like I've known you my whole life.
00:46:40Mom, I need to read you the rest of the book.
00:46:42That's why I told you to stay in your room.
00:46:44Leo?
00:46:44This is my son, Eric.
00:46:52Eric, this is Mommy's friend, Andrew.
00:46:57He's your son?
00:46:59We should talk.
00:47:02You don't remember me, but we met years ago randomly at one of your house parties.
00:47:11I'm sorry.
00:47:12Maybe I should have stayed home.
00:47:15Then we would have never met.
00:47:17Then we never would have met.
00:47:19Oh my God, Grace!
00:47:21Oh my God, Grace!
00:47:22I got pregnant.
00:47:37Eric is my son.
00:47:38Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
00:47:39I called and left you a message.
00:47:42Your girlfriend said she'd tell you.
00:47:45Mara?
00:47:47She never told me.
00:47:49She must have deleted the call logs from my phone.
00:47:51But even after you had the baby, I could have helped.
00:47:53Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:54Feeling any better, Ms. Myers?
00:48:03I want to see my sons.
00:48:06Both of them.
00:48:08You're still under a 51-50 hold.
00:48:11Until that's lifted and you're no longer a threat to yourself or the child, we cannot legally release him into your care.
00:48:17I'm not a threat.
00:48:19But my children's father is.
00:48:25Andrew Carrington is from a very powerful family.
00:48:29When he finds out what happened here, what you let someone do to me, what you did to me,
00:48:37I promise you, there will be hell to pay.
00:48:45The more likely outcome is this.
00:48:49You claim to the Carrington family that you had twins.
00:48:52They examined the hospital records, and they discovered no such evidence to support your claim.
00:49:00They do, however, find that there is a real child.
00:49:05That you, the mother, kept a secret from them.
00:49:08We disclose that you have a history of psychiatric instability and violent assault,
00:49:15making it very clear that you were unfit to care for the child.
00:49:20So, they take him from you, and you never see him again.
00:49:27Is that what you want?
00:49:30No.
00:49:32I didn't think so.
00:49:35So, here's your two options.
00:49:38You can admit that there was only one child, so I know you're sane, and I will give you your son.
00:49:43Or you can insist on maintaining this ridiculous delusion of twins.
00:49:49And I'll have no choice but to turn the one child that you do have over to the care of the state.
00:49:59Guess what?
00:50:01Which option?
00:50:02Eric and Leo are twin brothers.
00:50:26They are our children.
00:50:27The DNA test proves it.
00:50:37When I first met Leo, I mistook him for Eric the same way you just mistook Eric for Leo.
00:50:42Still, I couldn't be certain without a test.
00:50:45I had to know.
00:50:46Leo and Eric are my boys.
00:50:48Our boys.
00:50:49You're the mother of my children.
00:50:50I promise I'm going to make this right.
00:50:54Andrew, you have to listen to me.
00:50:57Somehow, Mara stole Leo from me.
00:51:01Mara lied to me.
00:51:02She used Leo to force me into that marriage.
00:51:05That's why she was suspicious of us.
00:51:06She knew we had been together.
00:51:09I'm not going to let her get away with this.
00:51:12You have to be careful.
00:51:13If she stole Leo and she's been living this lie for seven years,
00:51:18what else might she be willing to do?
00:51:22Don't worry.
00:51:23I'm going to protect you and the boys.
00:51:27This ends tonight.
00:51:44We're leaving together.
00:51:50Mara, we need to talk.
00:51:51What is she doing here?
00:51:53She's the mother of my children.
00:51:54Your lies are over, Mara.
00:51:56He knows you stole Leo from me.
00:51:57Andrew, no.
00:51:58What are you talking about?
00:52:00Leo and Eric are both mine.
00:52:02I have proof right here.
00:52:06Mara, I need to know the truth.
00:52:08Tell me, are both Leo and Eric, who do they belong to?
00:52:12I told you, they're both mine.
00:52:14Grace has DNA testers all saying they're hers.
00:52:16Yeah, yeah, we both have proof.
00:52:19But I have the birth records.
00:52:21You must have had it forged in the hospital.
00:52:23They're the ones who helped her steal my baby.
00:52:27I wasn't going to say anything.
00:52:30Not ever.
00:52:31Because I knew that if you have found out that one of your sons was stolen at birth,
00:52:36it will break your heart.
00:52:38But as fate will have it, the woman who stole your son has reappeared in our lives.
00:52:46And now she wants to steal Leo.
00:52:49And you too.
00:52:50What are you talking about?
00:52:52I'm not trying to steal anything.
00:52:54Andrew, don't listen to her.
00:52:55She's lying.
00:52:56You're the child thief.
00:52:58We were both in the hospital that night.
00:53:00She was sedated under psychiatric hold after having a post-miscarriage breakdown.
00:53:08That's not true.
00:53:09I had twins.
00:53:12After they released her, she snuck into the hospital nursery.
00:53:16And she stole one of the babies.
00:53:18The police looked for months.
00:53:21But she must have left town.
00:53:23Andrew, that's not true.
00:53:26Isn't it?
00:53:27I have proof of her psychiatric records right here.
00:53:35Grace, is this true?
00:53:38Where did you even get this?
00:53:41Andrew, Andrew, please.
00:53:42Grace, is it true?
00:53:44Yes, but I was only in psychiatric holding because she stole my baby.
00:53:48Andrew, you can't possibly believe her.
00:53:50She's insane.
00:53:51Enough, enough.
00:53:52I'm going to have my doctor come in and test both of you.
00:53:59In this house tonight, no one leaves until I find out who the mother of my children is.
00:54:06This is ridiculous.
00:54:08I'm not going to be held hostage in your house.
00:54:10You're not a hostage.
00:54:12But if you leave before that DNA analyst gets here, I'm going to assume you lied about everything.
00:54:16That doesn't make any sense.
00:54:17It's accountability.
00:54:18Oh, and who's going to hold you accountable for holding two women hostage?
00:54:23I've said what I said.
00:54:25The choice is yours.
00:54:27I'll stay.
00:54:30Fine.
00:54:31I'll stay.
00:54:32But I have to run to the restroom.
00:54:34Unless you want to monitor that, too?
00:54:37Yeah.
00:54:38Yeah.
00:54:38Yeah.
00:54:48Hey, it's me.
00:54:55We've got a situation.
00:55:01Tell me everything.
00:55:04Dr. Renner.
00:55:05Thank you for coming.
00:55:06Always happy to assist, Andrew.
00:55:08Everyone, this is Dr. Renner.
00:55:11He's my family physician.
00:55:12I've trusted him my entire life.
00:55:14We'll do a rapid DNA analysis.
00:55:16Buccal swabs.
00:55:18I'll need a sample from the other child later, but for now we'll compare both mother's markers to what I have on file for Leo.
00:55:24Let's do it.
00:55:26These tests, they're not always accurate, especially when rushed.
00:55:31Well, they're just as accurate as the slow ones.
00:55:33These are simply more expensive.
00:55:35Thank you for arranging this so quickly, Dad.
00:55:42I'd do anything for you, my boy.
00:55:44I've double-checked the results.
00:55:48Based on genetic markers taken from Leo's medical file, without a doubt, Mara is the biological mother.
00:55:55But that's, that's not possible.
00:56:03I told you so.
00:56:04Are you certain?
00:56:05The results are clear.
00:56:07Andrew.
00:56:08Andrew.
00:56:09I'm, there must be some kind of mistake.
00:56:11Don't touch me.
00:56:12Please.
00:56:12You manipulated me.
00:56:14You know me.
00:56:15You know I wouldn't do something like this.
00:56:17The only thing that I know is that I'm calling the police.
00:56:25Myers, you're out.
00:56:27What?
00:56:28You need bail.
00:56:28You have some nerve showing up here.
00:56:39I posted your bail.
00:56:41You're free.
00:56:42You are the reason I'm in here in the first place.
00:56:45You let them suspend me, smear me, arrest me, and now, what?
00:56:50You're suddenly my knight in shining armor?
00:56:52I know you're angry, justifiably, but I had to.
00:56:57You had to?
00:56:58You believed her over me.
00:57:01You sat there with your expensive doctor and your silence, and you let them humiliate me.
00:57:09And now they're going to take my son.
00:57:12If I were you, I would make them put me back in that jail.
00:57:16Because if they take Eric from me, I will kill you.
00:57:23I believe you.
00:57:24And I know Mara was lying.
00:57:28What?
00:57:29I've always known.
00:57:31I remember you.
00:57:32I remember that knight.
00:57:34You're the only thing that makes sense to me.
00:57:37Then how could you be with her?
00:57:40When Mara told me she was having a child, we had a DNA test.
00:57:46And it matched me.
00:57:48Leo is my son.
00:57:49And I don't know, I was scared.
00:57:52I wanted to be the father to him, no matter what I felt about Mara.
00:57:57You hurt.
00:57:59I know.
00:58:01I don't forgive you.
00:58:03I'm not asking you to forgive me.
00:58:06I just want to give you the chance of justice that you deserve.
00:58:09What good is justice if it makes me hate you?
00:58:14You are the most important thing.
00:58:18But hopefully this makes you hate me less.
00:58:24Eric!
00:58:26How did you get in here?
00:58:27I made sure Eric was safe once I knew Mara was dangerous.
00:58:30No one will ever try to take him away from you.
00:58:35Ever.
00:58:36Mom, are you okay?
00:58:38Yes.
00:58:39Hey, Eric.
00:58:43You don't have to be shy.
00:58:45This is Mommy's friend, remember?
00:58:48From the office.
00:58:52You remember how you asked about your dad?
00:58:56This is him.
00:58:57This is your dad.
00:59:04You look like me.
00:59:07I was just thinking that about you.
00:59:09Do you like comic books?
00:59:11Of course I do.
00:59:13Truth be told, I have a bunch that I need to read and I need help.
00:59:16I'm not very good at that.
00:59:18Okay, we'll put a remedy on that.
00:59:20For now we can just look at the pictures.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:25Eric, I'm going to need to borrow your mom for a little bit.
00:59:28Is that okay?
00:59:30We have some business to attend to.
00:59:39Come out.
00:59:41We know you're in here.
00:59:44Mr. Carrington.
00:59:46Ms. Myers.
00:59:47I'm afraid I'm...
00:59:48Leaving town?
00:59:50Yeah, it looks like it.
00:59:51Where are you going, doctor?
00:59:52I have a medical retreat.
00:59:56It's a conference for continued education.
00:59:58It's very standard.
01:00:00You forged documents.
01:00:02You manipulated hospital records.
01:00:05You ran DNA tests through private channels that don't even exist.
01:00:09That's felony, fraud, and malpractice.
01:00:14Why?
01:00:15Why did you help Mara?
01:00:17What did she have on you?
01:00:25Don't be so weak.
01:00:27Just do what I say.
01:00:28But this child, Andrew, will have to marry me.
01:00:37Mara is my daughter.
01:00:40You're Mara's mother?
01:00:41I knew she'd never amount to anything.
01:00:44I wanted her to be a doctor like me.
01:00:46But she's just lazy in most regards.
01:00:49Except for being unscrupulous.
01:00:52I can confirm that.
01:00:53When you first came in to confirm your pregnancy,
01:00:56and she disclosed who the father was,
01:00:58I called my daughter since she was dating Andrew.
01:01:03We were broken up.
01:01:05Mara was furious.
01:01:07But then when she found out you were having twins,
01:01:09she devised this plot to steal one of them.
01:01:13And to trick Andrew.
01:01:15That's why she said she was going on vacation.
01:01:17So I wouldn't see she wasn't actually pregnant.
01:01:21I survived your deceit.
01:01:24And your vile cruelty.
01:01:26And now you're going to have to answer for it.
01:01:29About the originals.
01:01:31We've got all we need.
01:01:33Destroying me isn't going to change anything.
01:01:35Yes, it will.
01:01:37You'll never have the chance to hurt anyone.
01:01:40Ever again.
01:01:42Your Honor, we're mending our demands
01:01:44in the light of new actions
01:01:45perpetrated by Mr. Carrington.
01:01:48In addition to full custody of Leo Carrington,
01:01:50we're appealing for an expansion of asset division.
01:01:54On what grounds?
01:01:55My husband held me hostage.
01:01:56He locked me in the house for hours
01:01:58with an unhinged and documented psychopath.
01:02:01And now with my...
01:02:04Sorry.
01:02:06My second child's still missing.
01:02:11All the emotional trauma,
01:02:13all the abuse,
01:02:14I want compensation and support for both boys.
01:02:17And full custody.
01:02:19With respect, Your Honor, may I respond?
01:02:22Proceed.
01:02:23Everything she just said was a lie.
01:02:24I never held her hostage
01:02:26and I never prevented her from leaving my house.
01:02:29He threatened to take away my child
01:02:30if I left, Your Honor.
01:02:32Your child?
01:02:34Of course.
01:02:35Leo is my child.
01:02:36And so is the other little angel.
01:02:42Your Honor,
01:02:43I have the original medical files
01:02:45from the hospital,
01:02:46signed affidavits,
01:02:47and a court-certified DNA test
01:02:49proving I am the biological mother
01:02:52of both children.
01:02:54Is this documentation before the court?
01:02:56Yes, Your Honor.
01:02:57This morning.
01:02:59Mrs. Carrington,
01:03:00do you have any explanation for this?
01:03:04Forged medical files?
01:03:05Fraudulent DNA tests?
01:03:08Mrs. Carrington,
01:03:08you are being charged with perjury,
01:03:11blackmail,
01:03:12document forgery,
01:03:13and kidnapping.
01:03:15You will face a separate criminal trial.
01:03:17This divorce settlement is dismissed
01:03:19pending complete annulment.
01:03:20This court is adjourned.
01:03:21No, I'm...
01:03:22You can't do this to me.
01:03:24Bailiff?
01:03:25No!
01:03:26Take Mrs. Carrington into custody.
01:03:30The second child?
01:03:32Perfectly safe.
01:03:33And with his real family.
01:03:36As many of you know,
01:03:38my son's recent personal scandals
01:03:40have greatly compromised
01:03:42this company's image.
01:03:44The ongoing suspension,
01:03:46the internal ethics investigation,
01:03:48and the instability following his divorce.
01:03:50I think it's time we move to secure
01:03:53long-term executive leadership.
01:03:55Therefore,
01:03:57I formally propose a vote
01:03:58to instate myself,
01:04:01Victor J. Carrington,
01:04:02as the permanent CEO
01:04:04of Carrington Holdings.
01:04:06Andrew, you're not supposed to be here.
01:04:10You're still under...
01:04:11Suspension?
01:04:12Yeah.
01:04:13Not anymore.
01:04:14My divorce settlement
01:04:15was finalized this morning.
01:04:18I retain all personal
01:04:19and financial stake
01:04:20in Carrington Holdings.
01:04:21The ethics committee
01:04:23is still reviewing your...
01:04:24No, they're not.
01:04:25All internal investigations
01:04:26have been formally dismissed
01:04:27by the legal department.
01:04:29Grace Myers is the biological mother
01:04:31of both of my children.
01:04:33She's not a scandal.
01:04:35She's not a subordinate.
01:04:36She's my family.
01:04:38And any further challenges
01:04:40to my leadership
01:04:40will be met
01:04:41with a full legal retaliation
01:04:44for both defamation
01:04:45and conspiracy.
01:04:47My boy.
01:04:48I'm so proud of you.
01:04:52I underestimated you, truly.
01:04:55You handled this brilliantly.
01:04:57Yeah, save it.
01:04:58What?
01:04:59Everyone,
01:05:01this is Dr. Renner.
01:05:04He's the one who falsely claimed
01:05:06that Mara was the mother of Leo.
01:05:09Dr. Renner has something
01:05:10he'd like to share.
01:05:11The results were falsified.
01:05:13I was instructed by
01:05:14Victor Carrington
01:05:16to produce an outcome
01:05:17that would ensure
01:05:18Andrew's downfall
01:05:19so that Victor
01:05:20could take control
01:05:21of the company.
01:05:22I altered
01:05:23the maternal markers
01:05:25and
01:05:26I deeply regret
01:05:28what I have done.
01:05:32These are photographs
01:05:34taken over the course
01:05:35of several months.
01:05:36They show Victor
01:05:37and Mara
01:05:38meeting in private,
01:05:40traveling together,
01:05:41and exchanging documents.
01:05:44They were colluding.
01:05:46Victor backed Mara's custody claims,
01:05:48staged scandals,
01:05:49and undermined Andrew
01:05:50to retake control
01:05:52of this company.
01:05:54Based on the testimony
01:05:55and visual evidence,
01:05:57I am placing Victor Carrington
01:05:59on immediate suspension
01:06:00from the board
01:06:01pending further legal investigation.
01:06:04You are to have
01:06:05no further access
01:06:06to company files,
01:06:07assets,
01:06:08or personnel.
01:06:09I'll see you in court,
01:06:10old man.
01:06:11Mr. Carrington,
01:06:12you're reinstated.
01:06:15Effective immediately.
01:06:17Congratulations, CEO.
01:06:24Eric's progress
01:06:25has been nothing
01:06:26short of remarkable.
01:06:28He just needed
01:06:29a little push.
01:06:30We were thinking
01:06:31the same thing.
01:06:32I thought
01:06:33with a little structure,
01:06:35a reading specialist,
01:06:37and the right support,
01:06:38he would be able
01:06:40to keep up with the students
01:06:41in his class.
01:06:43But
01:06:43that
01:06:44isn't the case?
01:06:46No.
01:06:47With the right support,
01:06:49Eric is now
01:06:50at the top of his class.
01:06:52That is,
01:06:53that is so wonderful.
01:06:55I'm so grateful
01:06:56that you allowed Eric
01:06:57to rejoin the class.
01:06:58It's what I've been wanting
01:07:00the whole time.
01:07:01It's clear
01:07:02this is where Eric belongs.
01:07:04Good news?
01:07:11She said he's doing great.
01:07:13Better than expected.
01:07:15How did you get the school
01:07:16to take him back
01:07:16so effortlessly?
01:07:18Uh,
01:07:18I mean,
01:07:19like I told you,
01:07:20a little endowment
01:07:21goes a long way.
01:07:24You didn't have to do that.
01:07:25I know.
01:07:26Miss Williams
01:07:27would have taken him back
01:07:28based on those
01:07:28improvements alone.
01:07:30But I wanted to donate.
01:07:32There will be
01:07:32other kids like Eric,
01:07:34who just need
01:07:34a little help.
01:07:36And they deserve it.
01:07:38You nervous?
01:07:41I love it all.
01:07:43I mean,
01:07:43it's a,
01:07:44it's a big day.
01:07:46It's a new beginning
01:07:47for us.
01:07:48It's gonna be great.
01:07:50And there he goes.
01:07:57Leo!
01:07:58Eric!
01:08:01This still feels surreal.
01:08:03They knew instantly.
01:08:04It's when?
01:08:05It's when?
01:08:05Are you sure
01:08:06about us
01:08:07living together
01:08:08and all four of us?
01:08:12I've never been more sure
01:08:13of anything
01:08:14in my entire life.
01:08:22Andrew!
01:08:22I feel like I missed
01:08:24the entire first part.
01:08:25But now's our chance
01:08:27to have it all back.
01:08:29I don't want to miss
01:08:30another second of life
01:08:31without you and Eric,
01:08:32can I?
01:08:33So,
01:08:34Grace Myers,
01:08:34will you marry me?
01:08:36Yes!
01:08:37Absolutely yes!
01:08:38Oh,
01:08:42one more thing.
01:08:46There's a position
01:08:48open at my company.
01:08:50If you want it,
01:08:51executive level,
01:08:53higher pay,
01:08:54flexible hours.
01:08:55We have more money than we could ever spend.
01:09:01We two boys are together.
01:09:04And I have the man of my dreams.
01:09:08I have everything I could ever want.
01:09:10And more.
01:09:13But I still might take that job just to keep you on your toes.
01:09:17Whatever you say, Mrs. Carrington.
01:09:25And no one sets my body on fire.
01:09:32And no one gives me shit like you.
01:09:38Oh, no one does it, baby.
01:09:43Oh, no one does it, baby.
