00:00She is my daughter. You can't just...
00:02Daughter?
00:03I can't get her to say that.
00:05You haven't held her, not a single time,
00:08since the day she was born.
00:10You won't even let her call you Mom.
00:12And he...
00:13locked her in a cage in the middle of a winter,
00:16and her heart almost stopped.
00:17Tell me, where were you?
00:19I didn't know.
00:21You didn't know? Or you didn't care?
00:23When this kid pushed her into a pool,
00:25and her heart almost failed?
00:27Tell me, where were you?
00:30I... I...
00:32All right, baby. Stomach condition.
00:35Nothing. All a lie.
00:38Yet you choose to believe that
00:39instead of your own daughter.
00:41Now tell me that you're her mother,
00:43and she's your daughter.
00:52What the hell's going on here?
00:56Jeez, Liam.
00:57You can't just barge in here.
00:59Have you ever heard of knocking?
01:00I'm your husband.
01:03What the hell's this guy?
01:04No.
01:05Hey, maybe I should bounce.
01:10I don't want to wreck a marriage, you know?
01:12You're not going anywhere.
01:14This house?
01:15It was always meant for you.
01:20So this guy?
01:22This whole place is for him, huh?
01:24If you didn't remind me so much of my Dominic,
01:28I'd, uh, never have me with you.
01:32Don't leave.
01:35Stay.
01:36Please.
01:37I'm pregnant.
01:42Will you marry me?
01:43I'll take care of everything, okay?
01:45The wedding, all of it.
01:47Fine.
01:52Liam, Dominic is back now.
01:54And he is the real man of this house.
01:58You got it?
01:59Guess I was just, uh, keeping the spot warm.
02:04Exactly.
02:06He's the only one I've ever loved.
02:08What about Ella, huh?
02:10I thought for a second, a single second,
02:13what this will do to her.
02:14She's your daughter, not mine.
02:20And she never has been.
02:22What is wrong with you?
02:23Dad, help me.
02:27Ella!
02:30Help.
02:32It's so cold.
02:37Dad, help.
02:40It's so cold.
02:44Stay with me.
02:46Daddy's here, baby.
02:59Ella, what were you doing back there?
03:01I told you to stay in the backyard.
03:04Have you lost your mind?
03:06She has a heart condition.
03:07You have her in a freezing cold garage.
03:09You could have died.
03:10Who left that door open?
03:14I didn't know.
03:15It was the other man.
03:16He told me to get in the case.
03:20I was, we were playing hide and seek.
03:21Save it!
03:22You listen to me.
03:24If anything happens to her, I will kill you.
03:26Enough, Liam.
03:28He said it was an accident.
03:30What more do you want?
03:32Look, Ella is fine.
03:35You're really going to defend him for your own daughter.
03:38Watch your tone, Liam.
03:43Dad, help me, man.
03:45It's cold.
03:46Can I go to my bedroom?
03:48Yeah.
03:55Cass, it was my fault.
03:58Maybe I should apologize to Liam.
04:00Oh.
04:01You didn't do anything wrong.
04:04Don't worry.
04:05Ella will warm up in a few minutes.
04:07Thank you for always believing in me.
04:10And thank you for waiting all those years.
04:13Yeah.
04:20She's so fragile.
04:23Everything I did was for her.
04:26You're the lead researcher on our classified project.
04:30If you leave now, you lose everything.
04:33The results.
04:34The recognition.
04:35You're sure about this.
04:37To really be there for Ella, I had to leave my work at the lab.
04:41But in eight years, Cassandra never cared.
04:43Look how beautiful my baby is.
04:46She looks just like you.
04:47I'm not overly fond of children, and I'm tired.
04:51Take it away.
04:53And I put everything I had into taking care of them both.
05:02Hurry.
05:03I gotta go.
05:08Never tried.
05:09Dad, don't be mad at mom.
05:13I just didn't listen.
05:17She won't even let Ella call her mom.
05:19And now...
05:20Dad, help me.
05:22Take it away.
05:23Because of this Dominic, my daughter almost died.
05:26She's your daughter.
05:28Not mine.
05:30Enough is enough.
05:32Dad, are we really in the morning?
05:37Mom gave me a hug this morning before she left.
05:40Isn't that a good sign?
05:42Ella.
05:44Listen to me.
05:45There's things going on right now that you just don't understand, okay?
05:48So, it's best if we go.
05:51But mom gave me this cute white bunny.
05:54That has to mean something, right?
05:57Look how cute she is.
05:59How do I tell her?
06:00Her mother's hugs and gifts are only because the love of her life is back.
06:06Not because she means it.
06:08You just have to trust me, okay?
06:09But I want to stay.
06:11I want to call her mommy.
06:14Ella, she doesn't want us around.
06:17It's just the way it is.
06:19What if we give mom three more chances?
06:23And if she doesn't like us anymore, then we should leave forever.
06:26I promise.
06:30Three more chances.
06:34That's it.
06:35Liam, we've landed a highly classified project, military.
06:50I can't reveal many details now, but I need you back.
06:53You're the only one I can trust to lead this.
06:56How long do you think that'll take?
06:57Ten years.
07:00You and your daughter will have to be completely cut off from the outside world for the entire duration.
07:06Security concerns.
07:07Okay?
07:08I have to think about it.
07:14Cassandra, you get three more chances.
07:17After that, we are gone for good.
07:20Click save, and that's all there is to it.
07:25Dominic, you are really smart.
07:29You're just a really good teacher.
07:38What are you guys doing in my office?
07:42Dominic is my new assistant, and you are not going to give him any trouble.
07:47Got it?
07:49Liam, looks like we'll be working close to Cassandra now.
07:54Should be interesting.
07:55What is wrong with you?
08:11If you don't want me here, just say so.
08:13I mean, you don't have to get all physical.
08:15Dominic is here because I want him here.
08:18You got a problem?
08:19Take it up with me.
08:20Now apologize.
08:22You want me to apologize?
08:25Cass, forget it.
08:27If he doesn't want to apologize, maybe I can have his office instead.
08:31You are so forgiving.
08:33God.
08:36You hurt him.
08:37Pack up your things.
08:38This is his office now.
08:40Seriously.
08:42For an assistant.
08:43I am the CEO, and I said give it to him.
08:46Don't think you can question me.
08:49You should be grateful he even wants your office.
08:51No, don't make things harder than they need to be.
08:54This place is already contaminated, so if he wants it, you can have it.
09:08This is just the beginning, Liam.
09:10I'm going to take everything.
09:12Your office, your woman, and much more.
09:16This is garbage, Liam.
09:25You bust your ass for years, so what?
09:27Some pretty boy can take your office and just waltz in you?
09:32Without you, this company would be nothing.
09:34You've been way too good to Cassandra.
09:36You think you can sleep your way to the top?
09:41Mess with people's marriages?
09:42You need to get the hell out of here right now, before we throw you out.
09:46I know you're mad I took your office, but you shouldn't be spreading rumors about me saying I slept my way up here.
10:01Liam, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I could never have believed you would have stooped this look.
10:07Using your position to turn people against a new employee?
10:10You mean exactly like he did?
10:13This is my fault.
10:15I shouldn't have taken this office.
10:17Now I'm causing trouble between you two.
10:19I'll leave the company now.
10:23You're not going anywhere.
10:26We haven't done anything wrong.
10:29Nothing wrong.
10:30You brought this guy into our house.
10:32I mean, you prayed to him around the office.
10:34You even locked our daughter in a cage just to spend more time with him.
10:38That's your purse.
10:39No, nothing wrong.
10:40It's really great.
10:44Shut your mouth!
10:48He just hit me in front of everybody.
10:51A friend?
10:52From this moment on, you are no longer my assistant.
10:56I am promoting Dominic.
10:58Dominic is exceptionally capable.
11:01If anyone dares to give him trouble, you'll be fired.
11:08Am I clear?
11:11You're going to regret this.
11:13Oh, my.
11:21Cassandra, we were married eight years.
11:25You couldn't spare me even a shred of dignity.
11:28The entire time.
11:29From now on, I am done helping you.
11:32Daddy!
11:33Hey, sweetie.
11:36I came here to pick you up for more.
11:38Mom, I picked you up in my room.
11:43What happened?
11:44Are you hurt?
11:46I just bumped into something, okay?
11:52It was Mom, wasn't it?
11:54Don't worry about me.
11:55Only two more chances.
11:56Tomorrow's the Christmas charity sale.
12:00You're still coming with me, right?
12:03I wouldn't miss it for the world, okay?
12:07Come on.
12:11Hey, Mom.
12:15Sorry.
12:16Uh, do you have time to come to the Christmas charity sale with me today?
12:20Christmas charity sale?
12:22Yeah.
12:23Can you come with me?
12:24It'll be fun.
12:25Um, I've got work today.
12:31Maybe next time.
12:33Okay.
12:37Sandra, wait.
12:39Sign this.
12:40Sign this.
12:40If Mom could come, too, then the other kids wouldn't make fun of me for not having a mom.
13:03Hey, Ella.
13:04Hey, Ella, don't cry like your mom's just busy, okay?
13:09She didn't mean it.
13:10It's okay.
13:12As long as I have you, I'm fine.
13:15Don't be by your side always, okay?
13:19I love you so much.
13:22Shh.
13:22Let's go play.
13:23Okay.
13:23Ella.
13:30Ella.
13:31Ella.
13:31Is just her dad again this year?
13:38Do we even have a mom?
13:41We've never seen her.
13:43I don't think she even exists.
13:45If she did, no way she'd miss every single Christmas Eve.
13:49I have a mom.
13:51She's just really busy with work.
13:54She doesn't have time.
13:57A real mom will make time for Christmas.
14:01Is your mom really busier than the present?
14:04Come on!
14:05Exactly. Stop making excuses.
14:09Our daughter is seven years old.
14:12You haven't came to a single one of her events.
14:14Not even for Christmas.
14:16Is your heart made of stone, Cassandra?
14:28Look! There he is!
14:32Look! She's right there!
14:41I think she'd really be here to spend time with Ella.
14:50Oh, good to see you.
14:52Hi, how are you?
14:53She doesn't have time for our daughter, but she has plenty of time for her lover's kit. Go figure.
15:01You're definitely desperate for a mom.
15:04The ladies, obviously James' mom.
15:08They just moved into the neighborhood.
15:10Calling someone else's mom, your mom?
15:12That's hilarious.
15:14She is my mom.
15:17Oh, yeah?
15:18Prove it!
15:19Prove it!
15:23Mommy!
15:23What are you two doing here?
15:34They come every year.
15:35You would know that if you bothered showing up.
15:39Mommy?
15:40Mommy?
15:41How many times have I told you not to call me that?
15:47But I just thought I...
15:50Back off! She's my mommy, not yours!
15:52Dad!
16:00Help!
16:13Mommy, I didn't mean to.
16:20It's okay, James.
16:21Look, you're pulling her out already.
16:26You're okay.
16:27I'm scared of me.
16:28I'm scared of me.
16:29Okay, okay.
16:30Come on.
16:34Oh, there you go.
16:34Okay, come on.
16:35Okay, come on.
16:42He didn't mean for that to happen.
16:44He pushed her!
16:45And you're gonna take his side over your own daughter!
16:47Liam, it was an accident!
16:49Ella!
16:51She wasn't watching her step!
16:53You have to be kidding me!
16:54You're blaming her for not watching her step!
16:56Maybe if you had taught her a little about swimming, this could have all been avoided.
17:00Dad, it hurt so bad.
17:04Okay.
17:04Okay.
17:04Look, she didn't ask me, okay?
17:06Should I hang on?
17:08I should check on her.
17:12I should check on her.
17:13No, she just swallowed a little water.
17:16She'll be fine.
17:18The sale's about to start.
17:20Come on, let's get our stuff set up.
17:22You promised it would be my mom today.
17:25Don't leave me and dad.
17:27Of course, mom didn't forget.
17:30Come on.
17:34That little bastard would be better off just dying.
17:37Oh, baby.
17:44Hey, daddy should have been there to protect you.
17:47It's not good.
17:49The drowning in stress triggered acute heart failure.
17:52She needs a transplant.
17:54You need to find a donor fast.
17:57I promise I'll find you a new heart, no matter what it takes.
18:06So blessed to take my baby to his first Christmas charity sale.
18:11Grow up strong, sweetheart.
18:13So let's say, Cassandra, you don't hate kids.
18:17You just hate ours.
18:18Dad, is mom, is she going to be someone else's mom now?
18:29Doesn't she want me anymore?
18:31How can you do this, Cassandra?
18:33You made your own daughter watch you give away every job of love that was hers
18:39into a stranger's kid.
18:42Christmas is in two days.
18:44That's her final chance.
18:46If she still likes it, we should go.
18:52Sorry, we changed our donation decision.
18:56The match doesn't meet our requirements.
18:58We're afraid it won't work.
19:00Best of luck.
19:01Ella, I am so sorry.
19:09I'm so, so sorry.
19:12You did it.
19:23Give me for my daughter a heart.
19:28Thank you so much.
19:30Oh my god.
19:32Hey, you're going to be okay.
19:35Daddy's got you okay.
19:37You're going to be all right.
19:46Cass, I overheard Liam on the call.
19:48He's selling the whole company.
19:50He's giving everything to our biggest competitor.
19:55Your bastard daughter?
19:57She's not making it out of here alive, Liam.
20:02Mr. Harris, I can't thank you enough.
20:06Truly.
20:07My little girl, she's gone so fast.
20:10You know, if her heart can help another child stay here and she's still here.
20:16Yeah, I appreciate that.
20:21You son of a bitch!
20:26You're selling company secrets?
20:29What happened to you?
20:31Where is your conscience?
20:32What the hell are you talking about?
20:35Look, there must be some kind of misinformation.
20:38Save it!
20:40I know exactly what you two are scheming.
20:45Are you out of your mind?
20:47You apologize to me right now or I'm going to call the cops.
20:52Go ahead.
20:53Maybe they'll lock you both up in a cell where you belong.
20:56Mr. Harris, please, don't do this.
21:00You've lost your mind.
21:01What the hell are you doing?
21:02He's going to save our daughter.
21:03She's dying.
21:04Oh, stop.
21:06Stop using Ella as some emotional crutch.
21:10I am done falling for your manipulative behaviors.
21:15You're the mother.
21:16The little girl needs my daughter's heart.
21:19I'm sorry, Liam.
21:20I cannot give my little girl's heart to a family like this.
21:24No, Mr. Harris, please, I can explain.
21:26Please, just...
21:27Oh, God.
21:28Do you know what you just did?
21:29You just killed Ella.
21:31He was going to save her and you fucking ruined it.
21:35Oh, God.
21:41Mr. Langford, Ella's heart rate is crashing.
21:43Cardiac arrest.
21:44Get here now.
21:45Oh, there you are.
21:47Mr. Langford.
21:48I'm so sorry.
21:49I'm sorry to say your daughter's fading.
21:53Her will to fight is almost gone.
21:55It's Christmas.
21:57If her mother were here,
21:59it might be enough to bring her back.
22:01I'm so sorry.
22:14Thank you for spending today with us.
22:17Merry Christmas, Cassandra.
22:20Merry Christmas, Dominic.
22:21Cassandra, we are leaving, okay?
22:26Elle's in the ER.
22:27She is dying.
22:28They're trying to save her.
22:29Come on.
22:29What?
22:31What happened?
22:35Oh, my stomach.
22:37Cass, it's bad.
22:39Your ulcer.
22:40I'll get your pills.
22:40Cassandra, we are leaving now.
22:44Let go!
22:46If I don't get his medication right now,
22:49he could be in danger.
22:51Cassandra, your daughter is in the ER.
22:54She is asking for you.
22:56You are the only person who could save her.
22:58I am begging you.
22:59Please come with me.
23:05Please.
23:08I get it, Liam.
23:08You hate me, but weaponizing your own daughter?
23:11You're her father.
23:14How sick do you have to be?
23:20I can't do this anymore.
23:24Using Ella to guilt trip me every time you want attention?
23:30I am done with your manipulative bullshit.
23:33It's not manipulative bullshit!
23:35Are you really picking this guy over your daughter's health?
23:37I mean, really?
23:39You want the truth?
23:40Yes.
23:42I am.
23:45Now get out.
23:46I have a Christmas dinner to finish.
23:50We are done.
23:55Pathetic.
23:56He doesn't have the balls to divorce me.
23:59He'll come crawling back in three days.
24:01Like he always does.
24:03Hold on, baby.
24:04I'll get your medicine.
24:05Okay.
24:10I'll get it.
24:14Her mother didn't come.
24:16She's been holding on to that bunny this whole time.
24:22Oh, baby.
24:22Hey.
24:24Just hold on, okay?
24:25Daddy's here.
24:27Look, I promise from now on every Christmas, we'll just be you and I, okay?
24:30Mom gave me this cute white bunny.
24:36That, that has to mean something, right?
24:39Look how cute she is.
24:42If mom could come too, then the other kids wouldn't make fun of me for not having a mom.
24:48She's dead.
24:50How many times have I told you not to call me that?
24:53Maybe next time.
25:03Ella.
25:04Hold on, hold on, okay?
25:08Why does my heart...
25:11What's happening?
25:12Ella?
25:17Cassandra, we are leaving, okay?
25:28Ella's in the ER.
25:28She is dying.
25:30You're trying to save her.
25:30Come on.
25:31Ella?
25:42Pick up.
25:43Pick up.
25:43Liam, please.
25:50What if Ella?
25:53I have to get to the hospital.
26:01Please, a little girl, Ella Langford, which she admitted today.
26:09No Ella Langford in our system.
26:10See, I told you.
26:12He made it all up just to ruin our Christmas.
26:16No.
26:18Something's wrong.
26:19I can feel it.
26:22We've got to be at home.
26:34You want the truth?
26:35Yes.
26:37I am.
26:39Now get out.
26:41I have a Christmas dinner to finish.
26:51Three changes, Cassandra.
