00:00:00From the very first day, the lines were drawn.
00:00:19Wesley Anderson, the undisputed king of campus, every gross fantasy, and me, Laurie Nielsen,
00:00:29invisible, or worse, planet.
00:00:34What is that on her face?
00:00:40If it isn't our celebrity, red-faced Laurie.
00:00:44Well, what's this big show about?
00:00:47Probably to get Wesley's attention.
00:00:49Wesley would never give you a glance in his entire life.
00:00:54Wake up. Someone like you shouldn't even breathe the same air as him.
00:00:58Shut up, Ashley. You know, you're sucked me up, please. Let's just go.
00:01:03Toodles.
00:01:08Don't listen to those harpies.
00:01:10Who says you don't have a shot? Three days.
00:01:13Okay, your shot comes in three days.
00:01:15Jen, this is ridiculous. There's like a million girls out there. I can't kiss all of them.
00:01:23Think of the children that need our help, Wesley. It's for Cheney.
00:01:27Fine. But my lips are off limits. It's my final memory.
00:01:30Ugh. Fine. Cheek it is. Next!
00:01:47God, it's my turn.
00:01:49Hey, are you okay?
00:02:03Oh my god, did you try to worship at his feet? Pathetic.
00:02:08Really? Lori? Did you think that falling in front of him was going to be your big chance?
00:02:22What the hell?
00:02:23From that day, I felt that Lady Luck had finally smiled on me.
00:02:35Leslie, I know, but I guess I...
00:02:42Cut it out, okay? I can be your boyfriend.
00:02:45But you can't tell anybody. Nobody can bow.
00:02:47I thought that I was the luckiest girl alive.
00:02:52Until that day.
00:02:58He's gonna love this sports watch.
00:03:01Bro, are you seriously in love with a red-faced Lori?
00:03:04I mean, even though you, you know, lost the bet, it's been so long now.
00:03:09And we're about to graduate. Are you really gonna stick it with her?
00:03:14Of course not. Of course not.
00:03:18I'm gonna dump her after we graduate.
00:03:24Paris is way in, brother.
00:03:28So that's how my pathetic story ends.
00:03:33We never saw each other again after that.
00:03:35All right. We will let you know the results of the interview within a week, Mrs. Nielsen.
00:03:49Just call me Carol.
00:03:51All right. Carol, let us.
00:03:52Do I know this?
00:03:53Do I know?
00:03:55Do you know this?
00:03:56Do you know this?
00:03:57Toadie?
00:04:19Toadie!
00:04:20Toadie!
00:04:21Daddy!
00:04:27Toadie!
00:04:34He's back.
00:04:36Does he recognize me?
00:04:38Mr. Anderson, I am so sorry.
00:04:41She was here for an interview.
00:04:42I'll escort them out immediately.
00:04:45What am I expecting?
00:04:47Of course he won't recognize me.
00:04:49I'm so sorry.
00:04:50Mr. Anderson, this will not happen again.
00:04:53Cody, we're going.
00:04:54Right now.
00:04:57She's a single mother.
00:05:01Special case.
00:05:02This won't happen again.
00:05:04Why does she seem familiar?
00:05:07Cody, you can't just run off like that.
00:05:10Especially with your heart condition.
00:05:12What if something had happened to you?
00:05:13Mom, was that dad?
00:05:16He looks just like this.
00:05:19No.
00:05:20See, that wasn't him.
00:05:21That was just someone who looks like him.
00:05:24He never wanted me.
00:05:26He would never want you.
00:05:29I will protect you from suffering the same humiliation I've endured.
00:05:33Some truths are better left buried.
00:05:38You've vanished since that day.
00:05:40I've been looking for you for seven years.
00:05:43Lori, where are you?
00:05:46Hello?
00:05:47Sorry.
00:05:48The number you dialed is out of service.
00:05:53Ms. Nielsen, this is City General Hospital.
00:05:59The $20,000 fee for this phase of cardiac treatment needs to be settled in full by next week.
00:06:16Okay.
00:06:17Uh, sure.
00:06:18I will have the money.
00:06:23I must be seeing things.
00:06:25She couldn't be worried.
00:06:26I can't be worried.
00:06:27I can't be worried.
00:06:42What's up?
00:06:43Still wearing that cheap thing, huh?
00:06:44I mean people are gonna start thinking that the mighty Andersons have gone bankrupt.
00:06:47Have gone bankrupt. What do you want Lucas you've been back from Paris for what a week? Let's celebrate
00:06:53All right, I'm throwing you a welcome home party. No, I'm not interested. Come on. Look I've invited all of our graduation class including your ex
00:07:04Lori Nielsen
00:07:08Feliz Inbar
00:07:10Would she show up?
00:07:18Hey Carol, any um plans this weekend trying to get a coffee or something? Oh, um, sorry
00:07:29You mean your fake marriage to Eric? Once his grandma passes you're signing those divorce papers
00:07:34Why say no to a date? Because I am not here to date. I'm going to make money
00:07:38Cody
00:07:42Private party tonight real high rollers and they've requested special attire put these on
00:07:48I'm not gonna wear that. I thought you needed money for your son
00:07:53Either you put this on or you walk out that door right now
00:08:09Hurry up, they're here
00:08:14I
00:08:16I
00:08:18I
00:08:20I
00:08:22I
00:08:24I
00:08:26Oh my gosh!
00:08:28Oh my gosh!
00:08:30Hi, hi, hi!
00:08:46I heard Wesley came back to take over the Anderson group.
00:08:48I haven't seen this guy in years.
00:08:50Kinda miss him.
00:08:52He was, uh, kinda a campus half-grove.
00:08:56I wonder if he's still single.
00:08:58Come on.
00:08:59It's none of your concern.
00:09:01Olivia's the only one who matches him.
00:09:03Exactly.
00:09:04You two were meant to be together.
00:09:11Welcome back, Wesley.
00:09:13I saved you a seat right next to you.
00:09:15Aw, it took you long enough, eh?
00:09:18Still a kid, huh?
00:09:20Something else should.
00:09:22Remember in school, everyone wants to date him.
00:09:25Isn't that weirdo Lori Mason?
00:09:27Oh, please.
00:09:29She was such a clown.
00:09:31Do you remember that day she bumped straight into you?
00:09:34Oh my god, classic memory.
00:09:36So, whatever, uh, whatever happened to her anyways?
00:09:40No one knows.
00:09:42She kinda just vanished after graduation.
00:09:44But who cares?
00:09:45Probably dead in a ditch somewhere.
00:09:47Say that again.
00:10:00I don't know who this big shot is, but it appears it's a huge anguish.
00:10:04You really don't know?
00:10:06It's from Wesley Anderson.
00:10:08Heir to the Anderson group.
00:10:10He's right over there.
00:10:11Hey, where are you going?
00:10:20I can't, I can't.
00:10:22Hey, we need more drinks here.
00:10:24What are you waiting for?
00:10:25Move.
00:10:30For Cody.
00:10:41Oh!
00:10:48Oh!
00:10:49Oh!
00:10:50I'm sorry.
00:10:51I'm sorry.
00:10:52I'm sorry.
00:10:53I'm sorry.
00:10:54I'm sorry.
00:10:55Stop.
00:10:56Shh.
00:10:57Those eyes.
00:11:12How can they be so much like hers?
00:11:22Get your hands off of him!
00:11:24Are you looking to get fired, you idiot?
00:11:30Hey, you okay?
00:11:33Wesley, please.
00:11:34Let me handle this for you.
00:11:37Why did she give me such a similar feeling to lure you?
00:11:40I have to.
00:11:41Why does he always see me at my worst?
00:11:57Forget it.
00:11:59After tonight, you'll never have to see him again.
00:12:07Could it really be her?
00:12:09After all these years?
00:12:12I'm a dumper after graduation.
00:12:13Bears is way in.
00:12:14The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:19The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:24The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:33The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:37The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:48I must be losing my mind.
00:12:50She can't possibly be her.
00:13:07What are you doing?
00:13:13Who are you?
00:13:15What?
00:13:16What is your name?
00:13:20Carol.
00:13:23Have we met before?
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:28At your office?
00:13:29No. Before that.
00:13:32No.
00:13:34How would a nobody like me ever meet someone like you?
00:13:46Look, Mr. Anderson, about your suit.
00:13:48I'm really, really sorry and I'll pay for it.
00:13:53She's not Lori.
00:13:54What was I expecting?
00:13:57I'm sorry.
00:13:59What?
00:14:00For stopping you and scaring you.
00:14:03So much like...
00:14:08Never mind.
00:14:11Why don't you allow me to drive you home?
00:14:14No.
00:14:16I'll manage.
00:14:20What, on that ankle?
00:14:22I don't think so.
00:14:24Plus, you think you're gonna ruin a $5,000 suit and just walk away?
00:14:28Consider it your apology.
00:14:30And mine.
00:14:32Let me drive you home.
00:14:33orpp люблю and let you have no other money.
00:14:43Always be loved to go.
00:14:48Wesley is mine!
00:14:50No one can taken for me.
00:14:51Your soodern bitch.
00:14:55How are you?
00:14:56Seven years, no trace. Did something happen to you?
00:15:11Hey Lucas. Hey look, I know you built up a network over the years. I need you to find
00:15:16out everything that happened to Laura Nielsen after graduation. Yeah, everything. Alright,
00:15:25the final shortlist for the executive assistant position, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:33Even same last name. I want her.
00:15:45Hello? Ms. Nielsen, this is Anderson Corporation HR. Congratulations. You've been selected for the
00:15:53executive assistant position to Mr. Anderson himself. Work for him. After everything that happened, I can't.
00:16:05Laura, did you not get my text? I told you not to come. It's pouring out.
00:16:11I'll stay late. I didn't want to miss it.
00:16:15Thank you very much.
00:17:01Will the father be here at your next pre-natal checkup?
00:17:10No, he has no idea.
00:17:12Miss Nielsen, the father has a right to know.
00:17:15I think you should tell him.
00:17:29Hello?
00:17:29Hello? Wesley's phone.
00:17:33I should have known better than to hope.
00:17:36I won't humiliate myself again.
00:17:49Smith.
00:17:50What an honor.
00:18:03Hey there.
00:18:05Sweetheart.
00:18:06Nice ass.
00:18:07I want her here tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp.
00:18:15Uh, um, I'm afraid that won't be impossible.
00:18:20Why not?
00:18:20She, uh, she declined the offer.
00:18:29Someone actually said no to you.
00:18:32Oh, this is priceless.
00:18:35Her reason?
00:18:35She didn't give a full reason, sir, but she did say.
00:18:42What?
00:18:44She said she'd be an assistant for anyone, just not for you.
00:18:49Oh, my.
00:18:54I need to meet her.
00:19:01Oh.
00:19:01You better back off right now, or I will call the cops.
00:19:07Don't be like that, sweetheart.
00:19:09I just want to have some fun.
00:19:14Who's this?
00:19:15Your husband?
00:19:16Actually, that is my husband, and he's on his way right now.
00:19:20Kara, are you okay?
00:19:24Let go of me.
00:19:25Kara, where are you?
00:19:33Get off of me.
00:19:34Save the resistance from the bedroom.
00:19:36Fuck off!
00:19:42What's going on here?
00:19:44They're harassing me.
00:19:46Is this how our staff treat our customers?
00:19:54Apologize.
00:19:55What?
00:19:55No, no way.
00:19:57Listen, Miss Smith owns this place.
00:19:59So if she says you're wrong, you apologize.
00:20:03Or, you could lose your jaw.
00:20:06And that surgery might have you a little cracked.
00:20:13I'm sorry.
00:20:13Well, I don't think that was nearly enough.
00:20:18I did what you asked.
00:20:19Shh.
00:20:32Let me help you get dry, baby.
00:20:39Die, bitch.
00:20:53Get the fuck out!
00:21:00This is unacceptable.
00:21:02We must tighten security.
00:21:03I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:21:04Are you-
00:21:05You can leave, too.
00:21:05Shh.
00:21:08Oh, my God.
00:21:09Um, thank you.
00:21:12Mr. Anderson.
00:21:13What are you doing here?
00:21:14You said your husband was on his way, so.
00:21:17Uh, oh.
00:21:18Uh.
00:21:18Uh, I-I didn't know that you were the one who was calling.
00:21:23I was just trying to scare them.
00:21:25Where is this husband of yours?
00:21:27Does he always let you handle situations like this alone?
00:21:30He's working abroad.
00:21:32Oh, my God.
00:21:37Your arm.
00:21:39Wait, uh, don't look.
00:21:40You'll get crazy if you see it.
00:21:47Oh!
00:21:48Oh!
00:21:48Oh!
00:21:49Oh!
00:21:49Oh!
00:21:49Oh!
00:21:50You're okay.
00:21:50Don't look.
00:21:53If the mighty Wesley Anderson faints because of all the blood, then everyone's going to know
00:21:57hear your secret.
00:22:03What are you doing?
00:22:05How did you know I get screaming from my blood?
00:22:07Nobody else would cover my eyes like that.
00:22:11Is it you, Thor?
00:22:17Um.
00:22:19I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:21My son, he gets dizzy when he sees blood, so.
00:22:25Because it's just a force of habit.
00:22:31Why did you refuse the job?
00:22:33I'd be an assistant for anybody except him.
00:22:36Why?
00:22:36Uh, that.
00:22:37Um.
00:22:39Oh.
00:22:43Carol, you need to come home now.
00:22:46Cody collapsed.
00:22:47What?
00:22:48I'll be right there.
00:22:51Mr. Sturgeon, we've already prioritized him to the highest level.
00:22:55Prep him for surgery.
00:22:56Immediately.
00:22:57We do have a donor heart that matched him, but our lead surgical team's currently in
00:23:00another procedure.
00:23:02We're critically short-staffed.
00:23:03Well, there must be someone else.
00:23:04Please.
00:23:05Get the best cardiac team in here right now.
00:23:07I'll pay for all the expenses.
00:23:09Yes, Mr. Anderson.
00:23:10Right away.
00:23:17The surgery was a success.
00:23:21Thank you so much.
00:23:24Mr. Anderson, I don't even know how to put into words how grateful I am.
00:23:31My office.
00:23:32Tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock.
00:23:35Don't be late.
00:23:36All right.
00:23:43You will manage Mr. Anderson's entire schedule.
00:23:47Emails, meetings, even his lunch.
00:23:50Okay.
00:23:51She gets to be that close to Mr. Anderson all day.
00:23:54Just look at that face all day.
00:23:56Lucky.
00:23:56Familiarize yourself with a current schedule and this week's agenda.
00:24:04Of course, Mr. Anderson.
00:24:06She's working for him.
00:24:16That's a social performing bitch.
00:24:21Get her out.
00:24:24I don't care how.
00:24:27Make it look like she messed up.
00:24:30Hmm.
00:24:33Carol.
00:24:34Hi.
00:24:35Mr. Anderson needs his file at home tonight.
00:24:37Just place it on his home office desk.
00:24:40Okay.
00:24:41Of course.
00:24:44Mr. Anderson never lets anyone in his study.
00:24:47Tomorrow, she'll definitely get fired.
00:25:07Oh my god.
00:25:16I'm so sorry.
00:25:18I was just dropping this off.
00:25:19I had no idea that you were at home.
00:25:23Wesley?
00:25:24Are you ready for our date?
00:25:27God, not her again.
00:25:28Oh.
00:25:32What are you doing?
00:25:33Shh.
00:25:33Wesley, are you here?
00:25:44What the hell?
00:25:46What are you doing?
00:25:49It is as you see it.
00:25:51See yourself out.
00:25:53Ow!
00:25:54Ow!
00:26:00Okay, she's gone so your little performance could be over.
00:26:03Get off of me, baby.
00:26:06Mr. Anderson, I'm your assistant.
00:26:08Next time you want to scare off a date, hire someone else.
00:26:11I'm not your prop, okay?
00:26:12Okay, look.
00:26:13It's not like that.
00:26:13It was just...
00:26:14What do you think you're doing?
00:26:35What do you think you're doing?
00:26:39I was just putting the files on.
00:26:43Who said you can be in here?
00:26:44I...
00:26:44Ashley told me to put...
00:26:46Enough!
00:26:50I am sorry.
00:26:52Mr. Anderson, it will not happen again.
00:26:54Did you just take a photo of me?
00:27:03Sorry.
00:27:05I know that we're a secret.
00:27:07I wasn't going to show anyone.
00:27:11You don't have to stay at moments, Laurie.
00:27:12but I am sorry.
00:27:22I was....
00:27:23I was...
00:27:28Who told me?
00:27:32Here it is for the hospital.
00:27:34Hey, I tracked down some information about Lori.
00:27:43She was in a terrible car accident, and I heard she was severely injured trying to save her child.
00:27:48A car accident?
00:27:49When?
00:27:51Wait, wait, she has a child?
00:27:53Where are they?
00:27:57Where are they?
00:27:58I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:27:59She dropped off the grid after that.
00:28:01She just vanished.
00:28:02No, I need you to keep looking.
00:28:04Find her whatever it takes.
00:28:11Carol, my office, please.
00:28:18What?
00:28:20She didn't get fired?
00:28:27Carol, listen.
00:28:29About last night...
00:28:31Wesley.
00:28:32Who the hell was that woman at your house last night?
00:28:35Mom, right now is not the best time.
00:28:37Are you seeing someone?
00:28:38Who is she?
00:28:39Who was that woman?
00:28:41Who is she?
00:28:43Right behind you.
00:28:44No, it's not like that.
00:28:53I'm his assistant.
00:28:55I'm Mary.
00:28:55I was dropping off a file.
00:28:57That's...
00:28:58Oh.
00:28:59You heard her.
00:29:00She's my assistant.
00:29:03You can go now, assistant.
00:29:09Wes, don't tell me you're still hung up on the ex-girlfriend from college.
00:29:13Are you?
00:29:16The ex-girlfriend?
00:29:18Could that mean me?
00:29:20Carol?
00:29:22Um, a moment, please.
00:29:29Actually, Mom, yes, I am.
00:29:31There's no other woman besides Lori.
00:29:32Ugh, you're insane.
00:29:34She's been gone, vanished for years.
00:29:36Look, I don't care.
00:29:37I will find her no matter what it takes.
00:29:39You...
00:29:39Mom, look at me.
00:29:41I'm going to be late for a doctor's appointment.
00:29:43We need to go.
00:29:44I'm not finished.
00:29:46I'm late.
00:29:46Mom, please.
00:29:48We'll continue.
00:29:57Ugh, with his attitude, I may never get a grandchild.
00:30:00God knows how much I really want one.
00:30:07Excuse me, ma'am, you dropped this.
00:30:08Oh, my goodness.
00:30:10This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:15This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:19He had one girlfriend at university.
00:30:20Didn't he?
00:30:21I mean, could this boy be their child?
00:30:24Mom, please.
00:30:25There's no way.
00:30:26Wesley would never help with her.
00:30:29There you are.
00:30:30Come on, let's go back to the board.
00:30:35No, these figures are unacceptable.
00:30:37Okay, who eats fries with yogurt?
00:30:49That's disgusting.
00:30:51It's delicious.
00:30:52It's my secret recipe.
00:30:53Try it.
00:30:55Why did you use yogurt?
00:30:56Yeah, sorry.
00:31:02They were out of ketchup.
00:31:04So I used yogurt, but if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:31:12So I used yogurt, but if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:31:15No, it's fine.
00:31:20Sir, could I leave work early today?
00:31:23My son is getting discharged from the hospital.
00:31:26Sure.
00:31:27I'll drive you.
00:31:28Mom, I forgot my teddy bear in the room.
00:31:39That's okay.
00:31:40I'll go back and get it.
00:31:41Okay.
00:31:42Stay right here.
00:31:43Okay.
00:31:45Wesley, I wish you were my dad.
00:31:47Why do you say that?
00:31:49I like you, and you look very much like him.
00:31:51My dad.
00:31:52Want to see a photo?
00:31:53I can show you.
00:31:54Oh, um, sure.
00:31:56I don't know.
00:32:07I think you left it at home.
00:32:09Oh, it's okay.
00:32:11Don't tell my mom.
00:32:13She said I'm not allowed to talk about my dad with anyone.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:18Yay!
00:32:20Everything okay?
00:32:23What were we talking about?
00:32:25I was just inviting Uncle Wesley to dinner tonight.
00:32:29Honey, Mr. Anderson is a very busy man, and I'm sure he has to pass tonight.
00:32:34Not tonight.
00:32:36Yay!
00:32:42I found a picture.
00:32:44Mom hides it.
00:32:47Mom moved it again.
00:32:50It's okay.
00:32:51We can try again another time.
00:32:53Shh.
00:32:54Oh.
00:33:11Graduation mug.
00:33:12Come on, it's so cheesy.
00:33:13Please?
00:33:15All right, fine.
00:33:16Fine.
00:33:17You can get whatever you want.
00:33:21Okay, dinner's ready.
00:33:23Cody, go wash your hands.
00:33:32Who are you, really?
00:33:35Why are you always asking me this question?
00:33:38I'm Carol.
00:33:40So why do you have this mug?
00:33:43Because I graduated from that school.
00:33:46It's a souvenir.
00:33:48You went to business school.
00:33:50I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:54You went to business school.
00:33:56I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:59No, I went to School of Languages.
00:34:03It's a really big campus.
00:34:04You probably wouldn't have put into me.
00:34:07It's all in my resume. You can check, Mr. Anderson.
00:34:16Hey.
00:34:18Alright, alright.
00:34:19Whatever you want, sweetheart.
00:34:21Okay.
00:34:23Look, you can clear my schedule tomorrow.
00:34:25And you can take the day off if you want to hang out with Carol.
00:34:28Oh, um, thank you.
00:34:30It's very generous.
00:34:33Alright, sweetie.
00:34:35Pick out anything you want.
00:34:36It's a celebration for getting out of the hospital.
00:34:40Ooh.
00:34:42Everyone available, drop what you're doing.
00:34:45All hands on deck in the VIP lounge now.
00:34:47Alright, sweetheart.
00:34:49Pick out whatever you want.
00:34:50I will buy you everything.
00:34:52Come here.
00:34:54Lucky little girl.
00:34:55I've heard she's Mr. Anderson's secret daughter.
00:34:57Huh?
00:34:58Yeah.
00:35:00Rumor is he's never gotten over some ex-girlfriend from college.
00:35:01That's her kid.
00:35:03He spoils her rotten.
00:35:07Totally daddy's girl.
00:35:09So the woman on the phone.
00:35:11That was her.
00:35:13The one he never forgot.
00:35:14It was never.
00:35:16It was never.
00:35:17That's her kid. He spoils her rotten. Totally daddy's girl.
00:35:23So the woman on the phone, that was her.
00:35:27The one you never forgot.
00:35:30It was never me.
00:35:33They even have a child with them.
00:35:39Hey Carol, let me drive you home.
00:35:42Uh, no thank you, Mr. Anderson. I'll manage.
00:35:45Carol, wait.
00:35:52What's wrong?
00:35:54Nothing, it's just my husband.
00:36:02Hey Carol, got some great news. I'll be back next week.
00:36:06Oh that's great.
00:36:08Okay, I will. Bye.
00:36:16Is there anything else, Mr. Anderson?
00:36:21No. You can go.
00:36:26What is wrong with me?
00:36:28That felt like jealousy.
00:36:31No way.
00:36:33Lori, where are you?
00:36:35Uh, Wes.
00:36:37I, um...
00:36:38I found her.
00:36:39Oh yeah?
00:36:41You're gonna have to prepare yourself.
00:36:43It's, um...
00:36:45It's not good.
00:36:46Just say it, Lucas.
00:36:48I'm sorry, man. She's gone.
00:36:51She didn't survive the accident.
00:36:52Wes, man, you have to...
00:37:11You have to move on.
00:37:13Just go with us.
00:37:15You're gonna be alone.
00:37:16Wes is still obsessed with finding this girl Lori after all this time.
00:37:27That's crazy, right?
00:37:28Mm-hmm.
00:37:30All right, well, I gotta hit the head.
00:37:32Don't drink all the good stuff, Rhonda.
00:37:33Sure.
00:37:40Girls, we can't let him keep going on like this.
00:37:44That bitch needs to be wiped out completely.
00:37:48How about we let him find her dead?
00:37:52We give him a death certificate.
00:37:54Do it.
00:37:56Make it convincing.
00:38:03Mr. Anderson?
00:38:20Mr. Anderson?
00:38:24It's been weeks, we really can't postpone this board meeting any longer.
00:38:34Oh, God.
00:38:36Mr. Anderson, what is this?
00:38:37Shh!
00:38:39I searched for her for seven years.
00:38:42How could she just be gone?
00:38:45Who?
00:38:47The mother of his secret daughter?
00:38:49God, he really loved her that much.
00:38:53I'm...
00:38:54so sorry.
00:38:56It means she wouldn't want to see me like this.
00:38:59Me.
00:39:03You have to shape up, okay?
00:39:13You have a company to run, you have people who depend on you.
00:39:18Lori once did the same thing.
00:39:21Why is she so much like her?
00:39:23Unless...
00:39:25Maybe Lucas was wrong.
00:39:28I'm sorry.
00:39:29Uh, here, dry off.
00:39:33Just tell me.
00:39:34Who are you?
00:39:36Mr. Anderson, everyone is waiting for you at the office for this meeting.
00:39:40Am I still lying to myself?
00:39:43I'm such an asshole.
00:39:44I know.
00:39:45I know.
00:39:46My apologies.
00:39:47You're right.
00:39:48I'll get ready.
00:39:49Carol.
00:39:50Carol, wait.
00:39:55Me.
00:39:56I'm such an asshole.
00:40:02My apologies.
00:40:04You're right.
00:40:06I'll get ready.
00:40:14Carol.
00:40:16Carol wait.
00:40:18What do you say we grab dinner tonight?
00:40:20As a way of saying thank you for
00:40:22that wake up call today?
00:40:26Please don't leave everyone staring.
00:40:30Let's leave.
00:40:32Hey girl.
00:40:36It seems like you have prior
00:40:38plans Mr. Anderson
00:40:40so I will just see myself.
00:40:42Wait, wait, wait.
00:40:44What about tomorrow then?
00:40:48Is this your new girlfriend?
00:40:50Oh, um.
00:40:52No, no, sweetie.
00:40:54I'm just your father's assistant.
00:40:56You, no.
00:40:58He's not my dad.
00:41:00He's my uncle.
00:41:02This is Sarah.
00:41:04My sister Jennifer's daughter.
00:41:06So, shall we go?
00:41:08We can pick up Cody along the way.
00:41:10Dinner's on me.
00:41:12Yay.
00:41:14Yay.
00:41:26That fucking bitch.
00:41:28He actually took her out to dinner.
00:41:30Shh.
00:41:50Wesley, are you falling for Carol?
00:41:52I'm falling for Carol.
00:41:58Sarah.
00:42:00You don't have to ask that.
00:42:08Got you, bitch.
00:42:12Did you really think that you belonged at his table?
00:42:16I mean, you're just a piece of trash.
00:42:20Come on.
00:42:21Open the door.
00:42:22Let me out.
00:42:23Easy there.
00:42:24The phone's just getting started.
00:42:43Now, how does that feel?
00:42:45This is what you get for trying to seduce Wesley.
00:42:47Ladies, strip her.
00:43:03Why is mom taking so long?
00:43:11Mom?
00:43:12Let me go!
00:43:13Mom?
00:43:14Mom?
00:43:15Are you in there?
00:43:18Shut your mouth, you little brat!
00:43:26Sarah, where did Cody go?
00:43:27He went to find his mom.
00:43:30You stay right here, okay?
00:43:34Move!
00:43:35My mom's in there!
00:43:36You misheard!
00:43:37Now get lost!
00:43:38You annoying little brat!
00:43:39What's going on?
00:43:40You annoying little brat!
00:43:41What's going on?
00:43:42Wesley!
00:43:43I...
00:43:44I...
00:43:45It was an accident.
00:43:46This little boy was trying to go into the women's restroom.
00:43:48That's all.
00:43:49Cody, are you okay?
00:43:50What's wrong?
00:43:51Mom is crying in the bathroom.
00:43:52She didn't tell...
00:43:53Shh!
00:43:54Shh!
00:43:55Wesley, wait!
00:43:56No!
00:43:57Wait!
00:43:58Stop!
00:43:59Mr. Anderson, it's not...
00:44:00Shut up!
00:44:01I won't let you get away with this.
00:44:02You'll both pay.
00:44:03Mom.
00:44:04Mom is crying in the bathroom.
00:44:05She can tell.
00:44:06Shh.
00:44:07Wesley, wait!
00:44:08No!
00:44:09Wait!
00:44:11Stop!
00:44:12Mr. Anderson, it's not-
00:44:13Shut up!
00:44:18I won't let you get away with this.
00:44:20You'll both pay.
00:44:33Oh, sorry, I was checking your temperature.
00:44:49Uh...
00:44:50I should go.
00:44:52Wesley, um, thank you for everything.
00:45:01Yeah, I have feelings for her, bro.
00:45:13For Carol.
00:45:14Yes!
00:45:15Uh, finally.
00:45:18We're moving on.
00:45:19Yeah, but are there real feelings, or is it just because she feels familiar?
00:45:23Who cares?
00:45:24Dude, if she makes you feel happy, that's all that matters.
00:45:27Go for it.
00:45:28Yeah, but she's married.
00:45:29She's what?
00:45:30And she has a kid.
00:45:32Uh...
00:45:33Married, huh?
00:45:34Um...
00:45:35Have you met her husband yet?
00:45:38No, actually.
00:45:40But I've been to her house, and it doesn't really feel like she lives there.
00:45:45I don't know.
00:45:46The whole thing's kind of weird.
00:45:48That is suspicious.
00:45:50But who would lie about having a husband?
00:45:53If that's the case...
00:45:54She's definitely hiding something.
00:45:55Actually...
00:45:56I've got a plan.
00:45:59I've got a plan.
00:46:00You need a hand?
00:46:02Uh, no.
00:46:03No, you're a guest.
00:46:04Just relax.
00:46:05I got this.
00:46:06I don't see a spare light bubble around.
00:46:07You sure you don't need one?
00:46:08Uh...
00:46:09Actually...
00:46:10Yeah.
00:46:11I think they're in the cabinet drawer in the study.
00:46:12Okay.
00:46:13You got it.
00:46:14Thanks.
00:46:15Is that her husband?
00:46:16Hi.
00:46:17Oh no.
00:46:18Oh no.
00:46:19You're a guest.
00:46:20I can't wait to see.
00:46:21I can't wait to see anything.
00:46:22I can't wait to see.
00:46:23I can't wait to see.
00:46:24Oh no.
00:46:25No, you're a guest.
00:46:26Just relax.
00:46:27I got this.
00:46:28I don't see a spare light bubble around.
00:46:29You sure you don't need one?
00:46:30Um...
00:46:31Actually...
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:33I think they're in the cabinet drawer in the study.
00:46:36Okay.
00:46:37You got it.
00:46:38Thanks.
00:46:39Is that her husband?
00:46:46Why are you so nervous? What's in there?
00:46:49Uh, nothing.
00:46:51You do everything yourself?
00:46:53Does your husband ever plan on coming home?
00:46:56He's really busy working abroad.
00:47:00Do you even have a husband, Carol?
00:47:03Because I don't see any photos of the two of you anywhere.
00:47:06Shh. Be careful.
00:47:15I should get that.
00:47:27I'm home early. Surprise!
00:47:37And this is...
00:47:42Uh, this is...
00:47:44Mr. Anderson, my boss.
00:47:47Eric! Carol's husband. Pleasure to meet you.
00:47:51Would you like to stay for lunch?
00:47:53No, I was just leaving.
00:47:54No, I was just leaving.
00:48:00The transfer came through. I'm based in LA now.
00:48:03Oh, that's... that's great.
00:48:06I'll start looking for an apartment, so I'll move out soon.
00:48:10No rush. Actually, you two can stay as long as you need.
00:48:12Shh.
00:48:22Hey, Carol. Can we talk?
00:48:27Hello?
00:48:29What?
00:48:31I'll be right there.
00:48:32I'll be right there.
00:48:40Why did you start that fight, Cody?
00:48:42They said I didn't have a dad. That, I was lying.
00:48:45Your dad's just working far away.
00:48:47But he's back now, right?
00:48:50Hey, come on. You told me he looked like me.
00:48:52You better look even than he is.
00:48:54No, he's not.
00:48:55What?
00:48:57Eric isn't my real dad.
00:49:00I want to tell you a secret.
00:49:02My mom and Eric are not...
00:49:04Cody!
00:49:07What did I tell you about fighting?
00:49:09It's never okay.
00:49:10He was provoked.
00:49:11That other kid says some cruel things to him.
00:49:14Honey,
00:49:16you know we can't solve problems with our fists.
00:49:24Why don't you guys just talk it out?
00:49:27I think this kid needs to apologize to Cody first,
00:49:29before we discuss anything else.
00:49:31My son was just stating a fact.
00:49:34Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:40My son was just stating a fact.
00:49:43Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:46I am his father.
00:49:48You apologize.
00:49:49Now.
00:49:51Or what?
00:49:53Or you'll deal with the full force of the Anderson Lickleton.
00:49:58Oh God.
00:49:59He is Wesley Anderson.
00:50:02A simple misunderstanding.
00:50:05Apologize to the boy, dear.
00:50:07Honey.
00:50:08Apologize.
00:50:15Hey, Cody.
00:50:17You did a really good job at apologizing to that little boy today.
00:50:21Look guys.
00:50:22Reward.
00:50:23I'll take you to get your favorite toy tomorrow.
00:50:24Yes!
00:50:26Alright.
00:50:27I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
00:50:31Mom.
00:50:32Can I sleep in my dad?
00:50:33What?
00:50:34Uh, um.
00:50:35Oh.
00:50:36You're back.
00:50:38Hey, I made reservations at that Italian place for tomorrow night.
00:50:42Would you want to go?
00:50:44We can't.
00:50:45We have plans with Uncle Wesley tomorrow.
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:48Another time then.
00:50:49Okay, sweetie.
00:50:50Uncle Wesley's on his way.
00:50:51She'll pick out anything you want.
00:50:52Just one thing.
00:50:53Hello?
00:51:03Hi, hi.
00:51:04Yeah.
00:51:05Hi.
00:51:06I was hoping to schedule a consultation to discuss divorce proceedings.
00:51:09Just one thing.
00:51:14Hello?
00:51:17Yeah, hi. I was hoping to schedule a consultation to discuss divorce proceedings.
00:51:24Heard that little brat was claustrophobic.
00:51:29Get ready for hell, you little brat!
00:51:32Yeah, thank you so much. Bye.
00:51:35Cody!
00:51:37Cody?
00:51:39Cody?
00:51:42Hey, what's going on?
00:51:44I can't, I can't find Cody.
00:51:45What?
00:51:47Hey, are you looking for your son?
00:51:49Yeah.
00:51:50Apparently there's a kid passed out in the storage room.
00:52:05He's okay.
00:52:06He just fainted from a panic attack.
00:52:10He has claustrophobia.
00:52:12So, you need to avoid getting him into situations that have that trigger.
00:52:19I have that too.
00:52:20Another coincidence?
00:52:21Hey.
00:52:22Oh, baby, you're awake.
00:52:23Are you hungry?
00:52:24Can I have a hot dog?
00:52:25I'll go get you one, buddy, okay?
00:52:27Okay.
00:52:28Carol, I got your favorite tacos.
00:52:29Thanks.
00:52:30I want a hot dog.
00:52:31Mr. Anderson, my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:52:33I want a hot dog.
00:52:34I want a hot dog.
00:52:35I'll go get you one, buddy, okay?
00:52:36Okay.
00:52:38Carol, I got your favorite tacos.
00:52:40Thanks.
00:52:41I want a hot dog.
00:52:42Mr. Anderson, my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:52:48Well, I gotta go.
00:52:50Wesley, I...
00:52:51I'll see you Moe.
00:52:52I want a hot dog.
00:52:57Mr. Anderson, my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:53:02Well...
00:53:04I gotta go.
00:53:06We'll see, I...
00:53:07I'll see you, Mo.
00:53:09I appreciate you, looking after Carol and Cody.
00:53:24But as her husband, I'll handle things from here.
00:53:28Funny.
00:53:29Didn't need to handle it for quite a while now and you're nowhere to be found.
00:53:33From what I hear, you're not even Cody's real father.
00:53:39So what if I'm not Cody's biological father?
00:53:44I'm still Carol's husband.
00:53:46And you, better stay away from my wife.
00:53:49I don't care whose wife she is.
00:53:52Either you make her happy, or I will.
00:54:01Carol, these past few months, I...
00:54:05I know it started as an arrangement,
00:54:07but my feelings...
00:54:16Great.
00:54:17You're home.
00:54:18Carol, there's something I need to tell you, I...
00:54:21Eric, I need to tell you something first.
00:54:24Thank you for helping us when we had nowhere to go.
00:54:28I feel like we have been bothering you for...
00:54:33a while now.
00:54:35Um...
00:54:37Perhaps it's time we get it, of course.
00:54:41Is...
00:54:50Is...
00:54:51Something...
00:54:52Wrong?
00:54:53Is...
00:54:54Now a bad time?
00:54:55No.
00:54:56It's fine.
00:54:57Sure.
00:54:58Sure.
00:55:11Oh, Eric.
00:55:14I'm so sorry.
00:55:15Don't be.
00:55:16Don't be.
00:55:17I just want you to be...
00:55:18Happy.
00:55:19Whenever you're ready, just let me know.
00:55:20I'll sign the papers.
00:55:22We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:25How?
00:55:26After you're ready?
00:55:27I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
00:55:29I'm so sorry.
00:55:30We're moved away from the end of the day.
00:55:32We'll be back, in a few days.
00:55:34We can keep you from now, my degree and love.
00:55:35I'm so sorry.
00:55:36You've sent me from now.
00:55:38When you're ready, just let me know.
00:55:39I'll sign the papers.
00:55:42We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:45Sure.
00:55:46Yeah.
00:55:47Let's go once in a while.
00:55:48You're ready?
00:55:50Yeah, not quite.
00:55:51I don't know.
00:55:52I don't know.
00:55:53Thanksgiving is coming up.
00:56:06Sarah would love it if you and Cody joined us.
00:56:09No pressure, just...
00:56:11Um, that sounds great.
00:56:15We'll be there.
00:56:23She got divorced?
00:56:53Carol, where are you? I need to see you now.
00:56:56Now?
00:56:57Uh, I can come to the office.
00:56:59Look, that's fine. I'll meet you there.
00:57:08Hey, sorry, traffic.
00:57:10Why are you divorced?
00:57:12All due respect, Mr. Anderson, that is my personal business.
00:57:16Why, Carol?
00:57:18Tell me the truth.
00:57:19Uh, fine. Do you want the truth?
00:57:26Eric was my neighbor.
00:57:28And he offered us a place to stay, so I agreed to a paper marriage so he could fulfill his grandmother's dying wish.
00:57:35Satisfied?
00:57:37Okay, well, I do have work to do, so...
00:57:42Carol.
00:57:46Look, I can't keep fighting anymore.
00:57:49Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:57:53Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:58:02I'm so sorry.
00:58:05Look, I know that your heart belongs to someone else.
00:58:11To your past.
00:58:14And I can't share my man with a ghost.
00:58:16You can't force these things, man.
00:58:28Alright, get up.
00:58:30My buddy is throwing a huge party.
00:58:32Let's get wasted,
00:58:34and you'll feel better in the morning.
00:58:36Alright, come on.
00:58:37Let's go.
00:58:39Come on.
00:58:39Oh, Wes.
00:58:47This is George.
00:58:49Alumni of our university.
00:58:51That's me, too.
00:58:52He went to the School of Languages.
00:58:54Oh, you went to the School of Languages?
00:58:55Yeah, man.
00:58:56No, I graduated...
00:58:57God.
00:58:582018?
00:58:59Oh.
00:59:00Oh, good times.
00:59:03Why isn't Carol in the photo?
00:59:07Do you know a Carol Nielsen, by chance?
00:59:09She might have been in the class.
00:59:10Nielsen.
00:59:13Nah, man.
00:59:13Definitely not.
00:59:14Why did you lie to me?
00:59:31What are you talking about?
00:59:32School of Languages.
00:59:33That was a lie, right?
00:59:35I don't know why you're saying that.
00:59:39Then explain this.
00:59:40Who are you, Carol?
00:59:46Really?
00:59:49Okay, I'm...
00:59:52Wes, I'm really sorry.
00:59:53I did lie to you.
00:59:54I just...
00:59:55Why?
00:59:57What are you hiding?
00:59:59Tell me.
01:00:00I can't.
01:00:02And if you must know, then I quit.
01:00:05You can consider this my resignation.
01:00:07No.
01:00:09I'll quit.
01:00:10I just...
01:00:10I won't ask anymore.
01:00:15Whatever your secrets are, whatever your past is, I just...
01:00:19Whatever you're ready, just tell me.
01:00:21I'll wait.
01:00:22No matter how long it takes.
01:00:32See you later.
01:00:32See you later.
01:00:32See you later.
01:00:34See you later.
01:00:36See you later.
01:00:38See you later.
01:00:39See you later.
01:00:48Look, Sarah.
01:00:49I brought you a new friend for Thanksgiving.
01:00:51Hi!
01:00:53Cody, you're here!
01:01:01What are you doing here?
01:01:03I was invited.
01:01:05Oh, right.
01:01:07The help!
01:01:09Perfect. I was actually thirsty,
01:01:11so how about you go get me a drink?
01:01:13Actually, that's not my duty today.
01:01:15I am here as a guest.
01:01:17How dare you talk to me like that?
01:01:21Security?
01:01:23Remove her!
01:01:29I'd like to see the truck.
01:01:33The only one caught on a scene
01:01:35who is at risk of being removed
01:01:37is you, Olivia.
01:01:43Why don't you guys go make some thanks-saving cards, okay?
01:01:51That's the same boy from the hospital.
01:02:01Wes has an almost identical mole on his palm, too.
01:02:05Such beautiful cards.
01:02:07Oh, honey.
01:02:09You actually have a leaf in your hair.
01:02:11Get a maturity test done.
01:02:19I have your results.
01:02:21Ah!
01:02:23Oh!
01:02:24It's negative!
01:02:25He's not the father!
01:02:27Seems like we're overthinking it.
01:02:29We really need to focus on finding a suitable match for Wesley.
01:02:35So, perhaps...
01:02:37Olivia is still our best bet.
01:02:39That little brat really is his son.
01:02:47How?
01:02:49Here.
01:02:51Take this.
01:02:53Change it.
01:02:54Make it stay negative.
01:02:55Okay.
01:03:03I want to know everything about Carol Nielsen.
01:03:05Dig deeper.
01:03:07She's in Wesley's bed.
01:03:15Wes,
01:03:17perhaps you should consider getting to know Olivia a bit better.
01:03:21Wes, perhaps you should consider getting to know Olivia a bit better.
01:03:35You know this union is the best for both of our families.
01:03:39No, Mom, we've been over this.
01:03:40I'm not marrying her.
01:03:41Why won't you even give it a try?
01:03:45Look because I'm in love with Carol, okay?
01:03:47That's my final answer.
01:03:51You wretched bitch.
01:03:57Lori?
01:03:59Lori Nielsen?
01:04:02Quite unexpected.
01:04:04I don't know what you're talking about.
01:04:06You know, I thought it was odd.
01:04:10You vanished all those years ago after that accident.
01:04:14Turns out you were just having your face fixed,
01:04:17got that ugly birthmark removed,
01:04:18and had your name changed.
01:04:23What do you want?
01:04:25Simple.
01:04:26Take your son and leave the city.
01:04:30Go to hell.
01:04:32Going somewhere?
01:04:34Maybe to pick up your son?
01:04:37I wouldn't bother.
01:04:40I already did.
01:04:42What are you doing?
01:04:43If you hurt him, I will destroy you.
01:04:50Lori, Lori, Lori.
01:05:05All I want is for you to stop seeing Wesley.
01:05:09Just imagine how disgusted he'll be when he finds out that the ugly freak he secretly pities had his bastard child.
01:05:20Don't you hurt him!
01:05:22Fine.
01:05:23Then beg on your knees.
01:05:26Please, he's just a child.
01:05:41Leave my mom alone!
01:05:43Oh my god, Cody!
01:05:59I swore to Iran prison for the rest of your life.
01:06:06The boys are age negative.
01:06:15Our supplies are depleted.
01:06:18We need blood now.
01:06:19I'll do it.
01:06:20Take mine.
01:06:21No, you can't.
01:06:22You're his father.
01:06:23That's impossible.
01:06:27The results from the paternity test came back negative.
01:06:30Hey, wait.
01:06:31What's going on here?
01:06:32I want the truth.
01:06:33Tell me everything.
01:06:34She made me do it.
01:06:39She paid me to change the results.
01:06:41No.
01:06:42I'll settle a score with you once and for all.
01:06:47The blood supply is here.
01:06:51Lori, it's really you?
01:06:53Why?
01:06:54Why didn't you tell me?
01:06:55Why did you just leave?
01:06:57It was that day in the locker room.
01:07:00I heard you.
01:07:01You said it was just a bet that you were going to dump me after graduation.
01:07:06I called you and a woman's voice answered, so I wasn't going to stay humiliate myself
01:07:12any further.
01:07:13That was my sister.
01:07:15Lori, I'm an idiot.
01:07:18I was trying to save face with my friends.
01:07:21Little did I know I was making the biggest mistake of my entire life.
01:07:28He's stable.
01:07:29He's going to be okay.
01:07:35Lori, can you please forgive me?
01:07:37Give me a chance to make it right.
01:07:39Give me a chance to make it right.
