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.
00:03:52Let us?
00:03:53Toadie?
00:04:18Toadie!
00:04:20Toadie!
00:04:33He's back. Does he recognize me?
00:04:37Mr. Anderson, I am so sorry. She was here for an interview. I'll escort them out immediately.
00:04:43What am I expecting?
00:04:45Of course he won't recognize me.
00:04:48I'm so sorry. Mr. Anderson, this will not happen again.
00:04:52Cody, we're going. Right now.
00:04:58She's a single mother. Special case. This won't happen again.
00:05:03Why does she seem familiar?
00:05:07Cody, you can't just run off like that. Especially with your heart condition.
00:05:11What if something had happened to you?
00:05:13Mom, was that dad?
00:05:15He looks just like this.
00:05:17No. See? That wasn't him. That was just someone who looks like him.
00:05:23If he never wanted me, he would never want you.
00:05:27I will protect you from suffering the same humiliation I've endured.
00:05:33Some truths are better left buried.
00:05:35You've vanished since that day. I've been looking for you for seven years.
00:05:43Lori, where are you?
00:05:45Hello?
00:05:46Sorry. The number you dialed is out of service.
00:05:51Ms. Nielsen, this is City General Hospital.
00:05:55The $20,000 fee for this phase of cardiac treatment needs to be settled in full by next week.
00:06:01Okay, uh, sure. I will have them in here.
00:06:05I must be seeing things.
00:06:07She can't.
00:06:08She can't.
00:06:09She can't.
00:06:10She can't.
00:06:11She can't.
00:06:12She can't.
00:06:13She can't.
00:06:14She can't.
00:06:15She can't.
00:06:16She can't.
00:06:17She can't.
00:06:18She can't.
00:06:19She can't.
00:06:20She can't.
00:06:21She can't.
00:06:22I must be seeing things.
00:06:24She couldn't be worried.
00:06:37What's up?
00:06:42Still wearing that cheap thing, huh?
00:06:44People are going to start thinking that the mighty Andersons have gone bankrupt.
00:06:47What do you want, Lucas?
00:06:49You've been back from Paris for, what, a week?
00:06:51Let's celebrate.
00:06:52Alright, I'm throwing you a welcome home party.
00:06:55No, I'm not interested.
00:06:56Oh, come on.
00:06:58Look, I've invited all of our graduation class, including your ex, um...
00:07:02What was her name?
00:07:04Lori Nielsen?
00:07:08Elysium Bar.
00:07:09Tomorrow night.
00:07:108-sharp.
00:07:15Would she show up?
00:07:16Hey, Carol.
00:07:17Any, um, plans this weekend?
00:07:18Trying to get a coffee or something?
00:07:19Oh, um, sorry.
00:07:20I'm married.
00:07:21You mean your fake marriage to Eric?
00:07:22Once his grandma passes, you're signing those divorce papers.
00:07:23Why say no to a date?
00:07:24Because I am not here to date.
00:07:25I'm here to make money.
00:07:26Cody.
00:07:27Private party tonight.
00:07:28Real high rollers.
00:07:29And they've requested special attire.
00:07:30Put these on.
00:07:31I'm not gonna wear that.
00:07:32I thought you needed money.
00:07:33For your son.
00:07:34Either you put this on, or you walk out that door right now.
00:08:02That's what we're gonna do.
00:08:03Go ahead.
00:08:04Hurry up.
00:08:05They're here.
00:08:10They're here.
00:08:28Oh my God.
00:08:29Oh my God.
00:08:30High.
00:08:31Demolition
00:08:42I heard Wesley came back to take over the Anderson group.
00:08:49I haven't seen this guy in years.
00:08:51I kind of miss him.
00:08:53He was kind of a campus hub group.
00:08:57I wonder if he's still single.
00:08:59Come on.
00:09:00It's none of your concern.
00:09:01Olivia is the only one who matches him.
00:09:04Exactly.
00:09:05You two were meant to be together.
00:09:12Welcome back, Wesley.
00:09:13I saved you a seat right next to you.
00:09:16It took you long enough.
00:09:19Still with me.
00:09:20Something that shit.
00:09:22Remember in school, everyone wants to date.
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.
00:09:35Classic memory.
00:09:37So, what ever happened to her anyway?
00:09:41No one knows.
00:09:42She kind of just vanished after graduation.
00:09:45But who cares?
00:09:46Probably dead in a ditch somewhere.
00:09:47I don't know who this big shot is, but it appears that he's going to be huge and I'm going to kill him.
00:10:05You really don't know?
00:10:07It's from Wesley Anderson.
00:10:09Heir to the Anderson group.
00:10:10He's right over there.
00:10:11Hey, where are you going?
00:10:21I can't.
00:10:22Hey, we need more drinks here.
00:10:24What are you waiting for?
00:10:26Move.
00:10:30For Cody.
00:10:31I'm sorry.
00:10:52Stop.
00:10:52Stop.
00:10:54Those eyes.
00:11:13How 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, let me handle this for you.
00:11:37Why did she give me such a similar feeling to worry?
00:11:40I have to know.
00:11:42Why does he always see me at my worst?
00:11:56Forget it.
00:11:59After tonight, you'll never have to see him again.
00:12:08Could it really be her after all these years?
00:12:10I'm a dumper after graduation.
00:12:13Bears is way in.
00:12:14The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:32The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:34The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:40The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:42The 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.
00:12:52The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:13:12What are you doing, Mr. Rose?
00:13:14Who are you?
00:13:15What?
00:13:16What is your name?
00:13:20Carol.
00:13:23Have we met before?
00:13:26Um, yeah.
00:13:28At your office?
00:13:29No, before that.
00:13:32No.
00:13:35How would a nobody like me ever meet someone like you?
00:13:45Look, Mr. Anderson, about your suit, I'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?
00:14:15No.
00:14:17I'll manage.
00:14:21What, 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 your apology.
00:14:30And mine.
00:14:32Let me drive you home.
00:14:44No one can take him from me.
00:14:45You're so dead, bitch.
00:14:47Seven years.
00:14:48No trace.
00:14:50Did something happen to you?
00:14:53Hey, Lucas.
00:14:54Hey, Lucas.
00:14:55Hey, look.
00:14:56I know you built up a network over the years.
00:14:57I need you to find out everything that happened to Laura Nielsen after graduation.
00:14:59Yeah, everything.
00:15:00Thanks, man.
00:15:01All right.
00:15:02Thanks, man.
00:15:03The final shortlist for the executive assistant musician, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:04The final shortlist for the executive assistant musician, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:05Even same last name.
00:15:06The final shortlist for the executive assistant musician, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:11Even same last name.
00:15:13I want her.
00:15:14Good.
00:15:15I don't know.
00:15:16I didn't know I didn't know you all.
00:15:17I was in the last chapter.
00:15:18I thought that she was running.
00:15:19I was in the last chapter.
00:15:20I've done it.
00:15:21I got room for the last year.
00:15:22I'm in the last chapter.
00:15:23I wasn't in the last.
00:15:25I, I didn't know this.
00:15:26I?
00:15:27I was in the last chapter.
00:15:28I was sitting here.
00:15:30I was in the last chapter.
00:15:31I was in the last chapter.
00:15:33I didn't know.
00:15:35I was in the last chapter.
00:15:36Hey, Lucas.
00:15:37Hey, Lucas.
00:15:38Hey, look.
00:15:39I know you've built up a network over the years.
00:15:40I need you to find out everything to happen to Laura Nielsen after graduation.
00:15:40Hello?
00:15:46Ms. Nielsen? This is Anderson Corporation HR. Congratulations! You've been selected for the executive assistant position to Mr. Anderson himself.
00:15:57Work for him. After everything that happened, I can't.
00:16:01Lord, 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.
00:16:31I'll stay late.
00:17:01Will the father be here at your next prenatal checkup?
00:17:10No, he has no idea.
00:17:12Ms. Nielsen, the father has a right to know. I think you should tell him.
00:17:17Hello? Wesley's phone.
00:17:31I should have known better than to hope. I won't humiliate myself again.
00:17:38Smith. What an honor.
00:17:51Hey there. Sweetheart. Nice 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.
00:18:19Why not?
00:18:20She, uh, she declined the offer.
00:18:26Someone actually said no to you?
00:18:31Oh, this is priceless.
00:18:34Her reason?
00:18:35She didn't give a full reason, sir, but she did say.
00:18:41What?
00:18:42She said she'd be an assistant for anyone, just not for you.
00:18:49You 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? Your husband?
00:19:17Actually, that is my husband and he's on his way right now.
00:19:19Kara, 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!
00:19:39What's going on here?
00:19:44They're harassing me.
00:19:49Is this how our staff treat our customers?
00:19:53Apologize.
00:19:55What? No, 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.
00:20:09I'm sorry.
00:20:14I don't think that was nearly enough.
00:20:18I did what you asked.
00:20:19I'm sorry.
00:20:36Let me help you get dry, baby.
00:20:39Die, bitch!
00:20:51Get the fuck out!
00:20:59This is unacceptable. We must tighten security.
00:21:03I'm so sorry, ma'am. Are you...
00:21:05You can leave too.
00:21:07Oh, my God. Thank you, Mr. Morrison.
00:21:13What are you doing here?
00:21:14You said your husband was on his way, so...
00:21:17Oh, 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.
00:21:33Oh, my God. Your arm.
00:21:37Wait, don't look. You'll get crazy if you see it.
00:21:41Oh, my God.
00:21:45Oh, my God.
00:21:47Oh, my God.
00:21:49I'm okay.
00:21:50Oh, my God.
00:21:51Oh, my God.
00:21:52Don't look.
00:21:53Don't look. If the mighty Wesley Anderson faints because of a little blood, then everyone's gonna know your secret.
00:22:03What are you doing?
00:22:05How did you know I get scrimmaged about 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...
00:22:26Because 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?
00:22:37Ah, that. Um...
00:22:44Carol, you need to come home now! Cody collapsed!
00:22:47What?
00:22:48I'll be right there.
00:22:51This is urgent. We've already prioritized him to the highest level.
00:22:55Prep him for surgery. Immediately.
00:22:57We do have a donor heart that matched him, but our lead surgical team's currently in another procedure.
00:23:02We're critically short-staffed.
00:23:03Well, there must be someone else. Please!
00:23:05Get the best cardiac team in here right now. I'll pay for all the expenses.
00:23:08Yes, Mr. Anderson. Right away.
00:23:18The surgery was a success.
00:23:21Thank you so much.
00:23:26Mr. Anderson, I don't even know how to put into words how grateful I am.
00:23:29My office.
00:23:32Tomorrow morning.
00:23:338 o'clock.
00:23:35Don't be late.
00:23:42Alright, you will manage Mr. Anderson's entire schedule.
00:23:47Emails, meetings, even his lunch.
00:23:49She gets to be that close to Mr. Anderson all day.
00:23:53Just look at that face all day.
00:23:55Lucky.
00:24:00Familiarize yourself with a current schedule.
00:24:02And this week's agenda.
00:24:04Of course, Mr. Anderson.
00:24:05Mr. Anderson.
00:24:13She's working for him?
00:24:16That's a social performing bitch.
00:24:21Get her out.
00:24:25I don't care how.
00:24:27Make it look like she messed up.
00:24:30Who?
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.
00:24:45Mr. Anderson never lets anyone in his study.
00:24:49Tomorrow, she'll definitely get fired.
00:25:00Oh my god, I'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?
00:25:33Wesley, are you here?
00:25:45What the hell?
00:25:47What are you doing?
00:25:49It's as you see it.
00:25:51See yourself out.
00:25:53Ow!
00:25:59Okay, she's gone, so your little performance could be over.
00:26:03Get off of me, baby.
00:26:05Mr. 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?
00:26:12Carol, look, it's not like that.
00:26:13It was just...
00:26:14What do you think you're doing?
00:26:30What do you think you're doing?
00:26:32What do you think you're doing?
00:26:39What do you think you're doing?
00:26:41I was just putting the files on.
00:26:43Who said you can be in here?
00:26:44I...
00:26:45Ashley told me to put...
00:26:46Enough!
00:26:51I am sorry.
00:26:52Mr. Anderson, it will not happen again.
00:26:54Did you just take a photo of me?
00:26:59Did you just take a photo of me?
00:27:03Sorry.
00:27:05I know that we're a secret.
00:27:06I wasn't going to show anyone.
00:27:11You don't have to stay at moments, Laurie.
00:27:12Don't worry.
00:27:21Carol, look at that.
00:27:22What?
00:27:40Hey, I tracked down some information about Laurie.
00:27:42She was in a terrible car accident
00:27:44and I heard she was severely injured
00:27:46trying to save her child.
00:27:47A car accident?
00:27:48When?
00:27:50Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:51She has a child.
00:27:54Where 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...
00:28:02vanished.
00:28:03No, I need you to keep looking.
00:28:05Find her whatever it takes.
00:28:12Carol?
00:28:13My office, please.
00:28:19What?
00:28:20She didn't get fired?
00:28:28Carol, listen.
00:28:29About last night.
00:28:31Wesley?
00:28:32Who the hell was that woman at your house last night?
00:28:34Mom, right now is not the best time.
00:28:36Are you seeing someone?
00:28:38Who is she?
00:28:39Who?
00:28:40Where's that woman?
00:28:41Who is she?
00:28:44Right behind you.
00:28:52No, it's not like that.
00:28:53I'm like that.
00:28:53I'm his assistant.
00:28:54I'm married.
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.
00:29:01You can go now, assistant.
00:29:09Wesley, don't tell me you're still hung up on the ex-girlfriend from college.
00:29:13What?
00:29:14Are you?
00:29:17The ex-girlfriend.
00:29:18Could that mean me?
00:29:20Carol?
00:29:23A moment, please.
00:29:30Actually, Mom, yes, I am.
00:29:31There's no other woman besides Lori.
00:29:32Ugh.
00:29:33You're insane.
00:29:34She's been gone.
00:29:35Vanished 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.
00:29:40Look at me.
00:29:41I'm gonna be late for a doctor's appointment.
00:29:43We need to go.
00:29:44I'm not finished.
00:29:45I'm late.
00:29:46Mom, please.
00:29:48We'll continue this.
00:29:57Ugh.
00:29:58With his attitude, I may never get a grandchild.
00:30:00God knows how much I really want one.
00:30:03So come on.
00:30:06Excuse me, ma'am.
00:30:07You dropped this.
00:30:08Oh, my goodness.
00:30:09This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:15This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:18He had one girlfriend at university, didn't he?
00:30:20I mean, could this boy be their child?
00:30:23Mom, please.
00:30:24There's no way.
00:30:25Wesley would never help with her.
00:30:28There you are.
00:30:29Come on, let's go back to the board.
00:30:31No, these figures are unacceptable.
00:30:48Okay, who eats fries with yogurt?
00:30:50That's disgusting.
00:30:51It's delicious.
00:30:52My secret recipe.
00:30:53Try it.
00:30:54Why did you use yogurt?
00:31:01Yeah, sorry.
00:31:02They were out of ketchup.
00:31:04So I used yogurt, but if you don't like it,
00:31:06I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:31:08No, it's fine.
00:31:21Sir, 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.
00:31:29Mom, 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.
00:31:52Wanna see a photo?
00:31:53I can show you.
00:31:54Oh, um, sure.
00:31:57Don't go up to that home.
00:32:09Oh.
00:32:10It's okay.
00:32:11Don't tell my mom.
00:32:13She's never really like to talk about my dad with anyone.
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:17Yay!
00:32:21Everything okay?
00:32:23What were we talking about?
00:32:25I was just inviting Uncle Wesley to dinner tonight.
00:32:27Honey, Mr. Anderson is a very busy man, and I'm sure he has passed tonight.
00:32:34Not tonight.
00:32:36Yay!
00:32:42I found the picture.
00:32:43Mom hides it.
00:32:47Mom moved it again.
00:32:49It's okay.
00:32:50We could try again another time.
00:32:51We could try again another time.
00:33:08Oh!
00:33:11Graduation mug.
00:33:12Come on, it's so cheesy.
00:33:14Please!
00:33:15All right, fine.
00:33:16Fine.
00:33:17You can get whatever you want.
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:22Dinner'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?
00:33:37I'm Carol.
00:33:39Hmm.
00:33:40But why do you have this mug?
00:33:43Because I graduated from that school.
00:33:45It's a souvenir.
00:33:47You went to business school.
00:33:49I 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.
00:33:58No, I went to School of Languages.
00:34:03It's a really big campus.
00:34:04You probably wouldn't have went into me.
00:34:07It's all in my resume.
00:34:08You can check, Mr. Anderson.
00:34:15Hey.
00:34:17All right, all right.
00:34:18Whatever you want, sweetheart.
00:34:20Okay.
00:34:22Look, you can clear my schedule tomorrow.
00:34:24And you can take the day off if you want to hang out with Cody.
00:34:26Oh, um, thank you.
00:34:31Very generous.
00:34:34All right, sweetie.
00:34:35Pick out anything you want to celebrate your freaking 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.
00:34:47All right, sweetheart.
00:34:56Pick out whatever you want.
00:34:58I will buy you everything.
00:35:01Come here.
00:35:06Lucky little girl.
00:35:07I've heard she's Mr. Anderson's secret daughter.
00:35:11What?
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:13Rumor is he's never gotten over some ex-girlfriend from college.
00:35:17That's her kid.
00:35:18He spoils her rotten.
00:35:19Totally daddy's girl.
00:35:21So, the woman on the phone, that was her.
00:35:27The one you never forgot.
00:35:30It was never me.
00:35:32They...
00:35:33They even have a child, both of them.
00:35:39Hey, Carol, let me drive you home.
00:35:42No, thank you, Mr. Anderson.
00:35:44I'll manage.
00:35:45Carol, wait.
00:35:46What's wrong?
00:35:55Nothing.
00:35:55It's just...
00:35:56My husband.
00:36:03Hey, Carol.
00:36:04Got some great news.
00:36:05I'll be back next week.
00:36:06Oh, that's great.
00:36:08Okay.
00:36:09I will.
00:36:10Bye.
00:36:17Is there anything else, Mr. Anderson?
00:36:21No.
00:36:22You can go.
00:36:26What is wrong with me?
00:36:28That felt like jealousy.
00:36:31No way.
00:36:32Lori, where are you?
00:36:35Ah, Wes.
00:36:36I, um...
00:36:38I found her.
00:36:39Oh, yeah?
00:36:41You're gonna have to prepare yourself.
00:36:43It's, um...
00:36:44It's not good.
00:36:46Just say it, Lucas.
00:36:47Shh.
00:36:48I'm sorry, man.
00:36:49She's gone.
00:36:50She didn't survive the accident.
00:37:08Wes, man, you have to...
00:37:11You have to move on.
00:37:13Just go, Lucas.
00:37:15You have to be alone.
00:37:22Wes is still obsessed with finding this girl, Lori, after all of his time.
00:37:27That's crazy, right?
00:37:28Mm-hmm.
00:37:31All right.
00:37:31Well, I gotta hit the head.
00:37:32Don't forget all the good stuff, Rhonda.
00:37:34Sure.
00:37:34All right.
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.
00:37:55Do it.
00:37:56Make it convincing.
00:37:58Mr. Anderson?
00:37:58Yes.
00:37:59It's been weeks.
00:38:12We really can't postpone this board meeting any longer.
00:38:27Oh, my God.
00:38:28Mr. Anderson, what is it?
00:38:29Searched for her for seven years.
00:38:30How could she just be gone?
00:38:31Who?
00:38:32The mother of his secret daughter?
00:38:33God, he really loved her that much.
00:38:35I'm so sorry.
00:38:36It means she wouldn't want to see you like this.
00:38:36No.
00:38:37Me?
00:38:38No.
00:38:39No.
00:38:40No.

00:43:54Wesley!
00:43:55I...
00:43:56It was an accident.
00:43:57This little boy was trying to go into the women's restroom.
00:44:00That's all.
00:44:01Cody, are you okay?
00:44:02What's wrong?

00:44:21Oh, sorry.
00:44:22I was checking your temperature.
00:44:36Uh...
00:44:37I should go.
00:44:38Wesley...
00:44:39Um...
00:44:41For everything.
00:44:42Oh, come on.
00:44:43You're okay.
00:44:44Um...
00:44:45Little guy.
00:44:46No.
00:44:47Uh...
00:44:48I'm sorry.
00:44:49I was checking your temperature.
00:44:51Uh...
00:44:52I should go.
00:44:53Leslie...
00:44:57For everything.
00:45:11Yeah, I have feelings for her, bro.
00:45:13For Carol.
00:45:15Yes!
00:45:17Finally. We're moving on.
00:45:19Yeah, but are they real feelings, or is it just because she feels familiar?
00:45:23Who cares?
00:45:25If she makes you feel happy, that's all that matters.
00:45:27Go for it.
00:45:29Maybe she's married.
00:45:31And she has a kid.
00:45:33Married, huh?
00:45:35Have you met her husband yet?
00:45:39No, actually.
00:45:41But I've been to her house.
00:45:43I just don't really feel like she lives there.
00:45:45I don't know.
00:45:47The whole thing is kind of weird.
00:45:49That is suspicious.
00:45:51But who would lie about having a husband?
00:45:53If that's the case...
00:45:55She's definitely hiding something.
00:45:57Actually...
00:45:59I've got a plan.
00:46:01You need a hand?
00:46:03Uh, no. No, you're a guest. Just relax. I got this.
00:46:07I don't see a spare light bubble around. You sure you don't need one?
00:46:23Uh...
00:46:25Actually, yeah.
00:46:27I think they're in the cabinet drawer in the study.
00:46:31Okay, you got it.
00:46:33Thanks.
00:46:41Is that her husband?
00:46:43Oh my god.
00:46:45Hi.
00:46:46Why are you so nervous?
00:46:47What's in there?
00:46:49Uh, nothing.
00:46:51You do everything yourself?
00:46:53Does your husband ever plan on coming home?
00:46:55He's really busy working abroad.
00:46:59Do you even have a husband, Carol?
00:47:03Because I don't see any photos of the two of you anywhere.
00:47:07Take care of me.
00:47:15I should get that.
00:47:27I'm home early.
00:47:29Surprise!
00:47:31And this is...
00:47:41Uh, this is...
00:47:43Mr. Anderson.
00:47:45My boss.
00:47:47Eric!
00:47:48Carol's husband.
00:47:49Pleasure to meet you.
00:47:51Would you like to stay for lunch?
00:47:53No, I was just leaving.
00:47:55The transfer came through.
00:47:57I'm based in L.A. now.
00:47:59Oh, that's...
00:48:01That's great.
00:48:03I'll start looking for an apartment.
00:48:05So, I'll move out soon.
00:48:07No rush.
00:48:09Actually, you two can stay as long as you need.
00:48:11Hey, Carol.
00:48:13Can we talk?
00:48:15No, no, no.
00:48:17No, no, no.
00:48:19No, no, no.
00:48:21No, no, no.
00:48:23Hey, Carol.
00:48:24Can we talk?
00:48:28Hello?
00:48:31What?
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.
00:48:43That, 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.
00:48:51You 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?
00:49:08It's never okay.
00:49:10He was provoked.
00:49:11That other kid says some cruel things to him.
00:49:14Honey,
00:49:15you know we can't solve problems with our fists.
00:49:25Why 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.
00:49:32My son was just stating a fact.
00:49:35Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:36I am his father.
00:49:37You apologize.
00:49:38Now.
00:49:39Or what?
00:49:40Or you'll deal with the full force of the Anderson Ligleton.
00:49:42Oh God.
00:49:43He is Wesley Anderson.
00:49:44A simple misunderstanding.
00:49:45Apologize to the boy, dear.
00:49:46Honey,
00:49:47Apologize.
00:49:48Apologize.
00:49:49Apologize.
00:49:50Hey, Cody.
00:49:51You did a really good job at apologizing.
00:49:52Apologize.
00:49:53Apologize.
00:49:54Now.
00:49:55Or what?
00:49:56Or you'll deal with the full force of the Anderson Ligleton.
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.
00:50:16You did a really good job at apologizing to that little boy today.
00:50:21Look, as a reward,
00:50:22I'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?
00:50:37What?
00:50:38Uh, um.
00:50:40Oh.
00:50:41You're back.
00:50:42Hey,
00:50:43I made reservations at that Italian place for tomorrow night.
00:50:45Would you want to go?
00:50:48We can't.
00:50:49We have plans with Uncle Wesley tomorrow.
00:50:54Of course.
00:50:55Another time, then.
00:51:04Okay, sweetie.
00:51:05Uncle Wesley's on his way.
00:51:06She'll pick out anything you want.
00:51:08Just one thing.
00:51:09One thing.
00:51:14Hello?
00:51:18Yeah, hi.
00:51:19I was hoping to schedule a consultation to discuss divorce proceedings.
00:51:25Heard that little brat was claustrophobic.
00:51:27Get ready for hell.
00:51:30You little brat.
00:51:32Yeah, thank you so much.
00:51:33Bye.
00:51:35Cody!
00:51:37Cody?
00:51:39Cody?
00:51:40Cody?
00:51:43Hey, what's going on?
00:51:45I can't, I can't find Cody.
00:51:46What?
00:51:48Hey, are you looking for your son?
00:51:49Yeah.
00:51:50Apparently there's a kid passed out in the storage room.
00:52:06He's okay.
00:52:08He just fainted from a panic attack.
00:52:11He has claustrophobia.
00:52:12So, you need to avoid getting him into situations that have that trigger.
00:52:19I have that too.
00:52:21Another coincidence?
00:52:26Hey.
00:52:28Oh, baby, you're awake.
00:52:31Are you hungry?
00:52:33Can I have a hot dog?
00:52:37I'll go get you one, buddy, okay?
00:52:39Hey.
00:52:41Carol, I got your favorite tacos.
00:52:51Thanks.
00:52:52I want a hot dog.
00:52:57Mr. Anderson, my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:53:03Well, I gotta go.
00:53:06Wesley, I...
00:53:07I'll see you, Mo.
00:53:21I appreciate you looking after Carol and Cody.
00:53:26But as her husband, I'll handle things from here.
00:53:29Funny.
00:53:30Didn't mean 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.
00:53:41So what if I'm not Cody's biological father?
00:53:45I'm still Carol's husband.
00:53:47And you better stay away from my wife.
00:53:50I don't care whose wife she is.
00:53:52Either you make her happy or I will.
00:53:54Or I will.
00:54:02Carol?
00:54:03These past few months, I...
00:54:05I know it started as an arrangement.
00:54:08But my feelings...
00:54:09Great.
00:54:10You're home.
00:54:11Carol?
00:54:12There's something I need to tell you.
00:54:13I...
00:54:14Eric, I need to tell you something first.
00:54:15Thank you for helping us when we had nowhere to go.
00:54:17I feel like we have been bothering you for a while now.
00:54:19Um...
00:54:20Perhaps it's time we get a divorce.
00:54:22It's...
00:54:23It's...
00:54:24It's...
00:54:25It's...
00:54:26It's...
00:54:28It's...
00:54:29It's...
00:54:30It's-
00:54:42Is-
00:54:43...
00:54:51Something...
00:54:52Wrong?
00:54:53Is now a bad time?
00:54:54Is it a bad time?
00:54:56No. It's fine.
00:54:58Sure.
00:55:10Oh, Eric.
00:55:14I'm so sorry.
00:55:20Don't be.
00:55:22I just want you to be happy.
00:55:25Whenever you're ready, just let me know.
00:55:27I'll sign the papers.
00:55:33We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:52Thanksgiving is coming up.
00:56:06Sarah would love it if you and Cody joined us.
00:56:10No pressure.
00:56:11That sounds great.
00:56:15We'll be there.
00:56:17We'll be here.
00:56:42She got divorced?
00:56:53Carol.
00:56:54Where 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?
00:57:12With all due respect, Mr. Anderson, that is my personal business.
00:57:16Why, Carol?
00:57:18Tell me the truth.
00:57:20Uh, fine. Do you want the truth?
00:57:26Eric was my neighbor,
00:57:28and he offered us a place to stay,
00:57:30so I agreed to a paper marriage
00:57:32so he could fulfill his grandmother's dying wish.
00:57:35Satisfied?
00:57:37Okay, well, I do have work to do, so...
00:57:40Carol.
00:57:46Look, I can't keep fighting you anymore.
00:57:50Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:57:53Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:57:55I'm so sorry.
00:58:05Look, I know that your heart belongs to someone else.
00:58:11To your past.
00:58:13And I can't share my man as it goes.
00:58:25You can't force these things, man.
00:58:29Alright, get up.
00:58:31My buddy is throwing a huge party.
00:58:33Let's get wasted, and you'll feel better in the morning.
00:58:37Come on.
00:58:38Let's go.
00:58:39Come on.
00:58:45Oh, Wes!
00:58:46This 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?
00:59:01Good times.
00:59:04Why 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.
00:59:14Definitely not.
00:59:29Why did you lie to me?
00:59:31What are you talking about?
00:59:32School of Languages, that was a lie, right?
00:59:34I don't know why you're saying that.
00:59:39Then explain this.
00:59:45Who 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...
00:59:56Why?
00:59:58What are you hiding?
01:00:00Tell me.
01:00:01I can't.
01:00:03And if you must know, then I quit.
01:00:05You can consider this my resignation.
01:00:08No.
01:00:09Don't quit.
01:00:10Just...
01:00:12I won't ask anymore.
01:00:15Whatever your secrets are, whatever your past is,
01:00:17whatever you're ready, just tell me.
01:00:21I'll wait, no matter how long it takes.
01:00:32See you later.
01:00:33Look, Sarah.
01:00:34I brought you a new friend for Thanksgiving.
01:00:40Cody, you're here.
01:00:42What are you doing here?
01:00:43I was invited.
01:00:44Oh, right.
01:00:45The help.
01:00:46Perfect.
01:00:47I was actually thirsty.
01:00:48So how about you go get me a drink?
01:00:49Actually, that's not my duty today.
01:00:50I am here as a friend.
01:00:51I'm here as a friend.
01:00:53I'm here as a friend.
01:00:54I'm here as a friend.
01:00:55I'm here as a friend.
01:00:56I'm here as a friend.
01:00:57Look, Sarah.
01:00:58I brought you a new friend for Thanksgiving.
01:00:59I brought you a new friend for Thanksgiving.
01:01:01Cody, you're here.
01:01:02What are you doing here?
01:01:05I was invited.
01:01:06Oh, right.
01:01:08The help.
01:01:10Perfect.
01:01:11I was actually thirsty.
01:01:12So how about you go get me a drink?
01:01:13Actually, that's not my duty today.
01:01:16I am here as a guest.
01:01:19How dare you talk to me like that?
01:01:22Security!
01:01:25Remove her.
01:01:26I'd like to see the truck.
01:01:35The only one caught on a scene who is at risk of being removed is you, Olivia.
01:01:45Why don't you kids go make some thanksgiving cards, okay?
01:01:56That's the same boy from the hospital.
01:02:01Wes has an almost identical mole on his palm, too.
01:02:06Such beautiful cards.
01:02:09Oh, honey.
01:02:10You actually have a leaf in your hair.
01:02:13Get a paternity test done.
01:02:20I have your results.
01:02:21My father.
01:02:25It's negative.
01:02:27He's not the father.
01:02:28Seems like we're overthinking it.
01:02:31We really need to focus on finding a suitable match for Wesley.
01:02:35So, perhaps, Olivia is still our best bet.
01:02:45That little brat really is his son.
01:02:47How?
01:02:51Here.
01:02:52Take this.
01:02:54Change it.
01:02:55Make it stay negative.
01:02:56Okay.
01:03:03I want to know everything about Carol Nielsen.
01:03:07Dig deeper.
01:03:08Keep her.
01:03:15She's in Wesley's bed.
01:03:31Wes.
01:03:32I think she 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.
01:03:42Why won't you even give it a try?
01:03:45Look, because I'm in love with Carol.
01:03:47Okay? That's my final answer.
01:03:51That wretched bitch.
01:03:58Lori?
01:04:00Lori 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,
01:04:19and had your name changed.
01:04:20What do you want?
01:04:25Simple.
01:04:27Take your son,
01:04:29and leave this city.
01:04:31Go to hell.
01:04:33Going somewhere?
01:04:35Maybe to pick up your son?
01:04:40I wouldn't bother.
01:04:42I already did.
01:04:50What are you doing?
01:05:00If you hurt him, I will destroy you.
01:05:03Lori, Lori, Lori.
01:05:06All I want is for you to stop seeing Wesley.
01:05:10Just imagine how disgusted he'll be when he finds out that
01:05:13the ugly freak he secretly pities had his bastard child.
01:05:21Don't you hurt him!
01:05:23Fine.
01:05:25Then beg on your knees.
01:05:26Please.
01:05:39He's just a child.
01:05:42Leave my mom alone!
01:05:56We got Cody!
01:05:59I swore to Iran prison for the rest of your life!
01:06:14The boys are age negative.
01:06:16Our supplies are depleted.
01:06:18We need blood now.
01:06:19I'll do it. Take mine.
01:06:21You can't.
01:06:22You're his father.
01:06:26That's impossible.
01:06:28The results from the paternity test came back negative.
01:06:31Hey, wait. What's going on here?
01:06:33I want the truth. Tell me everything.
01:06:37She made me do it.
01:06:39She paid me to change the results.
01:06:42I'll settle a score with you once and for all.
01:06:47The blood supply is here.
01:06:52Lori, it's really you?
01:06:54Why?
01:06:55Why didn't you tell me? Why did you just leave?
01:06:57It was that day in the locker room.
01:07:00I heard you.
01:07:02You said it was just a bet that you were going to dump me after graduation.
01:07:07I called you and a woman's voice answered, so I wasn't going to stay...
01:07:11humiliate myself any further.
01:07:14That was my sister.
01:07:16Lori, I'm an idiot.
01:07:18I was trying to save face with my friends.
01:07:22Little did I know I was making the biggest mistake of my entire life.
01:07:29He's stable.
01:07:30He's going to be okay.
01:07:36Lori, can you please forgive me?
01:07:37Give me a chance...
01:07:39Give me a chance to make it right.
01:07:40Here we go.
01:07:41Thank you, guys.
01:07:49Thank you very much for watching.
