00:00Seven more years.
00:01I have to help Mommy.
00:03No, Anna!
00:05Mommy!
00:06No!
00:08Seven more years.
00:10And I never forgot the sound of her violin.
00:12I'm going to smash her stupid violin into pieces.
00:15No, the violin is special.
00:17It's the only way Daddy can find me.
00:20I know her son anyway.
00:22Is this your violin?
00:24It's my mommy, Christy Ray.
00:26My Christy.
00:28It's your biological daughter.
00:30Daddy! Daddy!
00:32Daddy hates Mommy, right?
00:34That's why she never came back for us.
00:36No, if you don't make Mommy come back,
00:38then you're not my Daddy anymore.
00:40Daddy is so sorry.
00:41I promise I'm going to get Mommy back.
00:43We need to find out where Christy is.
00:45I'll save you, Mommy.
00:47I'll show you what happens to brats like you.
00:49No, don't!
00:50Stop!
00:52Hey.
00:53Can you help Mommy now?
01:24I'm sorry, baby.
01:26I wish I could go back
01:28before we lost everything.
01:30But nothing can change where we are now.
01:35I'll never be that girl again.
01:44Christy Lane, she's really something else.
01:46And she's only 23.
01:48It's a shame she had to drop out of music school.
01:51Money problems.
01:53Money problems.
01:55Money problems.
01:56Money problems.
02:28I love you so much, Henry.
02:31A few more months of working, and I can pay for your surgery.
02:41And then we can build our family with our little girl.
02:53Who are you?
02:55Brandon Shaw.
02:56Heirs for Shaw Entertainment.
02:58Empire.
02:59I'll make this quick.
03:02You sleep with me, and I'll give you all the money that you'll ever need.
03:09You sleep with me, and I'll give you all the money that you'll ever need.
03:15What?
03:16No.
03:17I have a boyfriend, and I can make my own money.
03:26What are you doing?
03:27I am getting what I want.
03:35Help!
03:49Oh, my eyes!
03:51My eyes!
03:53Sir!
03:54My eyes!
03:56Taylor!
03:57I'm a fucking killer!
04:06No, no, no, no.
04:08The Shaw's are kings.
04:10They'll blacklist me from every venue if they find out.
04:17End your relationship with Christy, and I'll fund your cancer treatment.
04:23No, Dad.
04:25I love her.
04:26It's not about love.
04:29It's about your life, Dad.
04:31Have you forgotten what your mother did?
04:33She left you.
04:34For money.
04:36I won't stand another whore ruining my only son.
04:39Christy is nothing like love.
04:43Leave her, and that's final.
04:46No.
04:47Henry has cancer, and I'm keeping him from his best chance of survival.
04:51I don't want the next I see to be in the casket.
05:04I have to leave, Henry.
05:07Henry.
05:17You and the baby doing all right today?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:24How are your glasses?
05:25I haven't told Henry yet.
05:26I dropped out to pay for his bills.
05:29They were great.
05:30I'm all ready for the new orchestra cycle.
05:34Christy.
05:36What happened?
05:39Just blisters from practicing.
05:42Hey, come here.
05:44Sit.
05:48Christy.
05:49I know you love your music so much.
05:51I just wish that you would love yourself.
05:53Once in a while, too.
05:59Henry, with your father's connections, you can be cured.
06:03I will only slow you down.
06:07Henry.
06:10I'm leaving you.
06:12What?
06:13I'm leaving you.
06:15What?
06:16How much longer were you planning on hiding it?
06:19You have cancer.
06:20You're a dead man walking.
06:22Hey.
06:24Don't say that.
06:25Come on.
06:27We can get through this.
06:28Together.
06:29Okay?
06:30No.
06:32Ever since I was a little girl, I lived for the stage.
06:36I want money.
06:38Connections.
06:39Not a disgusting mess who will only drag me down.
06:43What?
06:46Don't touch me.
06:47You sick, broke freak.
06:50Christy.
06:51You can't leave.
06:53What about our daughter?
06:54I can't let him see me cry.
06:56I need to kill any love he has for me.
07:08What are you doing?
07:10Don't come any closer.
07:11This hairpin goes in my stomach.
07:14No!
07:18That's the point.
07:19No!
07:23You monster.
07:25She's an innocent child.
07:27How could you do this?
07:28It's kinder to end her life than to have her be born in a world with a useless, dying dad.
07:36You don't mean that.
07:40No!
07:41No!
07:42I thought you were useless, baby.
07:43I can date all the rich men I want.
07:45Men who will give me money instead of wasting it.
07:48This is our baby girl!
07:50Too late?
07:53She's already gone.
08:07Kristen!
08:08Tell me you didn't kill our baby girl.
08:11Tell me you didn't kill our baby girl just now!
08:18How could you do this?
08:23How could you do this?
08:25How could you?
08:26How could you do this to us?
08:28Henry!
08:29Henry!
08:34It's raining so hard on the side.
08:37Why don't you stay at my place?
08:39Uh, Miss West.
08:41The only reason I'm dating you is because my father insisted.
08:45I have no interest in you.
08:48I never will.
08:54What the hell?
08:57Some hobo is playing music outside my house.
09:01Wait.
09:03The violin.
09:06I know her son anyway.
09:08Her?
09:09Who's her?
09:10Henry, what are you talking about?
09:12Seven years.
09:14I never forgot the sound of her violin.
09:17Okay.
09:18Change of plans.
09:19We're not going to my house anymore.
09:20I am not going to lose her again.
09:24Stop it!
09:26Stop driving!
09:30Oh!
09:34Push out!
09:35No!
09:36Anna!
09:41Mommy!
09:42No!
09:43No!
09:54Good.
09:55Oh, my God.
09:56It hurts.
10:02It's not, Christy.
10:03But I could have sworn it was the sound of the rose violin.
10:16You stupid brat!
10:17What do you think you're doing in front of my house?
10:19I'm sorry, ma'am.
10:21I was just...
10:21Just scanning people out of their hard-earned cash?
10:24You.
10:25All of you.
10:26Get off my property or I'm calling the cops.
10:32Oh, whoa.
10:33She was just trying to help her sick mother.
10:35Sick?
10:36Get away from me, dirty, infected scum.
10:39Oh!
10:41Oh, stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about.
10:46No, please.
10:47Somebody save me.
10:50Enough!
10:52Don't hurt her.
10:54We don't need a lawsuit.
11:03No!
11:04My violin!
11:05What's wrong?
11:06Can't scan people without this?
11:08Give it back!
11:09I need the violin!
11:10It's the only way I can get money!
11:12Henry, honey, I can break a $20 junk instrument, right?
11:16It won't cost us anything.
11:18And it'll teach that brat a lesson.
11:20Please, mister, tell her to stop!
11:23I'm going to smash her stupid violin into pieces!
11:26No, the violin is special!
11:28It's the only way Daddy can find me!
11:30Please, sir, it's expensive!
11:31It has a rose carving on it!
11:34Could it be Christy's violin?
11:38Could it be Christy's violin?
11:40Really, Henry?
11:41How naive are you?
11:42Look at how darted she is.
11:44She can't even afford proper clothes.
11:46There's no way the violin is real.
11:49Let me see it.
11:50Please, this piece of junk?
11:51It's worth more.
11:53It's a wood chips.
11:58No!
12:00No!
12:01Why violin?
12:03It can't be...
12:06the rose violin.
12:12Daddy?
12:16No!
12:17Why violin?
12:18Why violin?
12:20Why violin?
12:21This little girl.
12:23Why does seeing her in pain hurt me so much?
12:26Let's go, Henry.
12:28There's no way a bad girl has one of the most illustrious violins in the world.
12:32It was fake.
12:33And you know it.
12:35Did anyone see a woman playing the violin earlier?
12:39No, sir.
12:40It was just a little girl.
12:42Guess another wild goose chase.
12:45Here.
12:47Take this.
12:49Money for damages, sir.
12:52Don't think about suing.
12:55Of course it wasn't Christy.
12:57Fate would never be so kind as to bring her back.
13:10Mommy!
13:11Mommy!
13:12Could her mother be?
13:15Me!
13:18Henry, why don't you stay the night?
13:21Your car is so cold.
13:25Whose fault is that?
13:28Leave me alone.
13:30No, it's all over.
13:33The gold heir hates me.
13:41It's all that stupid grass fault.
13:46I know what I heard.
13:48It was the sound of the rose violin.
13:50The question is, where is Christy hiding?
13:56Logan, host a violin contest at the villa this weekend.
14:01Open invitation.
14:04Make the grand prize.
14:07Fifteen million dollars.
14:10Fifteen million, sir?
14:13Christy loved money more than life.
14:15If she's in town, she'll come.
14:23Doctor, is mommy going to be okay?
14:26She's stable for now.
14:28But she's going to need surgery.
14:30It will cost a hundred thousand dollars.
14:32A hundred thousand?
14:34That's a lot of money!
14:36Is my mommy going to die?
14:41Going to die?
14:43We think that the repeated stress over the course of many years
14:47triggered a flare-up of her neurological condition.
14:50She likely ignored the pain,
14:53which caused permanent damage to her nerves
14:56and her hands and her arms and her legs.
15:03That's the third time this week.
15:05You're done!
15:11She worked herself to the bone.
15:14Coupled with the stress of childbirth,
15:16she never recovered.
15:26Spread out.
15:27Bob said he's already a tag around here.
15:30Come on.
15:45I will follow you to the ends of the earth, Christy.
15:49I'll pay you back for what you did tenfold.
15:51Cut out.
15:51Good Tactics!
15:52Come on.
16:02Coupled with the stress of childbirth,
16:04she never recovered.
16:06So it's my fault that mommy's like this.
16:08Oh, no, honey.
16:10It's my fault that Mommy can't play the violin anymore.
16:16If you say Mommy, I'll get the money, I promise.
16:19Anna.
16:22I'll save you, Mommy, no matter what it takes.
16:27Doctor said Mommy got sicker when I was born, so it's my fault.
16:31I have to help Mommy.
16:33Oh, boy.
16:35Let go is.
16:38Oh, my friend.
16:40Yum.
16:48Daddy, why doesn't she have a mom or dad?
16:51Some kids don't have family, sweetie.
16:54Come on, let's go.
16:56You're wrong.
16:58I have a Mommy and a Daddy.
17:00He's just not back yet.
17:02Dear God, please let Daddy come back to us.
17:05Please.
17:05Please, please.
17:09Mommy, this is how much I made tonight.
17:14Ten, five, $120.
17:20That's a lot less than $100,000.
17:24Anna, there's someone very special here to see you.
17:28Is it Daddy?
17:33Daddy?
17:40Anna?
17:44There's $1,000 in years.
17:47Keep it safe.
17:52And here's all my savings.
17:54$3,000.
17:55It's yours.
18:00I don't have any money, but this is my late wife's wedding ring.
18:08She wanted it to go to a good cause.
18:11Use it for your mom.
18:14Thank you so much.
18:19And look what we have here.
18:22And recall, the richest businessman in town is holding the violin competition tomorrow.
18:28The richest businessman in town is holding the violin competition tomorrow.
18:32You could get $15,000,000.
18:35That's modern enough to pay for mommy's surgery.
18:38But I don't have a violin anymore.
18:43You do now.
18:45Mom, it's violin.
18:46You fixed it?
18:48My father's, it sounds like Luke here.
18:50That body was cracked, but totally repairable.
18:52Your dad might not be here, but you're not alone.
18:56We're all here for you, Anna.
18:58Tomorrow, you play your heart out for your mom and dad.
19:03For all of us.
19:13I have to do this for mommy.
19:15Mr. Cole's money will save her.
19:34Everything's so pretty.
19:36There's so much sound.
19:46Ew.
19:46Who is that?
19:48This was supposed to be a child-free event.
19:51I bet she's a thief like every other homeless person.
19:54No!
19:55I'm not a thief.
19:57I came here to play violin for Mr. Cole.
20:02Thief!
20:03Thief!
20:03Thief!
20:05Thief!
20:05Thief!
20:06Thief!
20:06Thief!
20:07Thief!
20:07It's that homeless girl again.
20:09Thief!
20:10Thief!
20:10Thief!
20:10Thief!
20:12Thief!
20:13Thief!
20:13Thief!
20:13Oh no!
20:14It's the me lady who broke my violin!
20:16It's you, little bagger.
20:18What are you doing here?
20:20Do you even know where you are?
20:23You have no right to be here.
20:27No, I need to win the violin competition to pay for mommy's surgery.
20:34You, with your broken, useless violin, look, you've already dirtied the floor.
20:40Get out, now.
20:44I will clean the floor.
20:51Oh, honey.
20:58I didn't mean to make it dirty.
21:01Please don't make me leave.
21:03I have to save mommy.
21:09Get up, security.
21:11Make her disappear.
21:14Please, I need the money to help mommy.
21:17Help, Mr. Cole, help.
21:28Let me in, please.
21:29I need to save mommy.
21:30I need to play by land.
21:35I'm sorry, mommy.
21:36They won't even let me play.
21:39How am I supposed to save you now?
21:53Mommy, will this really work?
21:55It's okay, baby.
21:56We had to leave daddy when you were still in mommy's belly.
21:58He loves you so much.
22:01He didn't even know me.
22:07He played the violin exactly how I showed you.
22:10I know it's you.
22:11I promise.
22:13And then we'll all be together, right?
22:15All three of us.
22:16Yeah.
22:18We'll all be together.
22:23Even if they won't let me in, I still have mine by then.
22:38Please, daddy.
22:39Please come back.
22:57The violin competition is going great.
22:59Henry has to propose to me after this.
23:02She's good.
23:03But not what I wanted.
23:05Not who I wanted.
23:14That song.
23:17Henry.
23:21Henry, sit down.
23:28That piece.
23:31That's exactly how Kirstie would play it.
23:37Could it actually be her?
23:40Is that Brad trying to one-off me by playing the violin outside?
23:50Please, daddy.
23:51Mommy is sick.
23:53I need you to come back to help mommy, please.
24:05I told you to leave.
24:07I'm sorry.
24:11Too late.
24:12I'm confiscating your instrument.
24:14No, you can't do it.
24:15It's mine.
24:16Mrs. West.
24:17Shut up.
24:18I think this dirty, stupid beggar needs to be taught a music lesson.
24:25Dad, you're getting snapped away and I didn't have.
24:28Hmm.
24:29Will I?
24:31Mrs. West, please.
24:33Mr. Cole will not condone destruction of property.
24:35Only if he sees me.
24:38Breathe a word of this and you're fired.
24:41Yeah.
24:42Thought so.
24:44Please, stop.
24:46Me and my mommy need a violin to win.
24:49You're gonna break it.
24:50That's the plan.
24:52Now, let's see.
24:53How many twists does it take to get to the center of a broken violin?
25:05Stop!
25:09Stop!
25:11Right there.
25:17What's with the violin?
25:18it. She stole it from one of the musicians inside. Is that true? I don't know, sir.
25:27I suppose it could be. I did it. I brought it with me. It's mine. That rose carving.
25:40It's the Rose Violin. This is Christy's Violin. No, it can't be. It just can't be.
25:58Sweetheart, what's your name? I'm Anna. I think you have to play violin for you.
26:04Is this your violin? No, it's not.
26:13It's my mommy's.
26:21Anna, what's your mommy's name?
26:25Christy, Christy Lane.
26:29Lane, my Christy. Could this be my daughter?
26:45DNA test now. Yes, sir.
26:49Oh, good. Henry, you have to do something about this little thief. She's nothing but a stupid fatherless
26:56brat.
27:00fatherless brat. Yeah, she's a street bagger, Henry. She's the lowest of the low.
27:06Regardless of her situation, she is a poor, innocent child.
27:13And this is the coal estate. She doesn't belong. Henry, I'm just doing you a favor. You don't want to
27:20be associated with the likes of her, do you?
27:24I told you. I told you to leave. Why are you still here? Out. Now.
27:32You do not give orders in my house.
27:37Henry, what's wrong with you? She's just a stupid bagger girl.
27:49Henry, why are you fighting with her? I'm supposed to be your fiancée.
27:54Security. Escort her out.
27:57Do you hear that? Mr. Arthur Cole just said they're going to kick you out.
28:04What? Hey, no!
28:07On the contrary, you're the one being kicked out.
28:11No! Let me go! Stop!
28:13Stop!
28:20Anna? Anna?
28:22Anna? Anna? Honey? Hey, Anna? Are you okay? Anna? Call the ambulance. Anna?
28:31Hey, come.
28:37Sir, the DNA test.
28:54Yes, your biological daughter.
28:57I have a granddaughter.
29:00A dear, precious, beautiful granddaughter.
29:04Chrissy, not only did you leave me, you took our daughter away from me.
29:09You hid her from me.
29:10You're the cruelest woman I've ever met.
29:15Is she going to be okay?
29:17I'm sorry, sir. She is severely malnourished.
29:22Poor kid hasn't had anything to eat in days.
29:26Days?
29:27On top of that, she's suffered multiple injuries.
29:32Chrissy, you said you were leaving me to live the high life.
29:37What were you doing all these years?
29:41What did you do to our daughter?
29:44Her dress has holes.
29:47Her shoes barely fit her feet.
29:50Chrissy, how could you let this happen to our perfect little girl?
29:55Do you hate me so much you'd take it out on an innocent child?
30:03Where am I?
30:06Where's mommy?
30:11Is it cold?
30:13Hey.
30:15No, sweetheart.
30:18I'm your dad.
30:23Daddy! Daddy!
30:26Daddy!
30:31You came back.
30:32Just like mommy said.
30:34I missed you so much.
30:36Everybody was mean to me because I didn't have a dad.
30:40Please don't live again.
30:41Please.
30:43Oh.
30:44Oh.
30:45Honey, I am so sorry.
30:48I didn't know that you were out there.
30:51I'm never going to let you go.
30:53Okay?
30:53I promise.
30:55I'll love you.
30:57So much.
31:00And you're my precious granddaughter.
31:02We'll give you the world from now on.
31:06Come on.
31:08Grandpa has something special for you.
31:10Oh.
31:13How about me first?
31:28Welcome home, Ms. Annacole.
31:34Anna, meet your nutritionist, your personal tutor, and your etiquette coach.
31:42What do you mean?
31:45Anna, you are our little princess now.
31:49All these people here, they're here to protect you.
31:52They help you.
31:54That's okay.
31:55I don't want anyone else besides you, Daddy.
32:01Oh.
32:02Sweet, sweet girl.
32:05Let's get you some food.
32:06Yeah!
32:07Yay!
32:08Come on.
32:09Come on.
32:09Come on.
32:11Come on.
32:13Come on.
32:14Whoa!
32:15Is that a real turkey?
32:17I've never seen one before.
32:19Well, what would you like?
32:27I have so much food and a new dress, but Mommy's still at the hospital.
32:33I have to help Mommy first.
32:35What is it, Anna?
32:37Would you like something else?
32:40Daddy, can I ask you for something?
32:44Yeah, sweetheart.
32:46Anything you want.
32:47Can I have $100,000?
32:55Anna.
32:57What do you need $100,000 for?
33:01For Mommy.
33:01She really needs it right now.
33:03So, she hasn't changed.
33:06Even after all these years, she's still a money-hungry, cash-grabbing chick.
33:12I want money.
33:14Connections.
33:16Not a disgusting best who will only drag me down.
33:20I can't believe she'd stoop so low.
33:22She'd use her own daughter as leverage.
33:25Anna, you go back and tell Mommy that she's not getting anything from me.
33:31Not a single cent.
33:33No, Daddy, don't leave me again.
33:36What do you think you're doing?
33:39Here, sweetheart.
33:41If Daddy's too stubborn to give you the money, I'll do it.
33:46Enjoy it?
33:49Grandpa, is this card worth $100,000?
33:53$100,000?
33:55Anna, that could be worth a million if you'd like.
33:58That card has no limit.
34:01You can have whatever you want.
34:03Grandpa, can I have a pen and paper?
34:07Pen and paper?
34:08Paper.
34:20If someone gives you money, you should always pay it back because that's the right thing to do.
34:25Here, Grandpa.
34:32This is what I owe you.
34:34When I grow up, I'll give you the money.
34:37Pinky promise.
34:39I always thought Christy was a gold digger.
34:42But she raised Anna to be a kind and responsible young lady.
34:47No, sweetheart.
34:49You keep this money.
34:51And with your grandfathers...
34:53No, no, no.
34:55She's not getting a cent from us.
34:58Logan, freeze our accounts.
35:00Nothing comes out without my okay.
35:02Effective immediately.
35:03How dare you?
35:05Daddy, why can't you help me?
35:07Mommy really needs your help.
35:10Don't you dare bring up your mother again.
35:12She made you beg for food on the streets.
35:15That is not love.
35:17That is cruelty.
35:19She doesn't deserve someone like you from now on.
35:22You are my daughter.
35:24Your mother is dead to us.
35:29No, don't say that.
35:30Mommy's not bad.
35:32Mommy loves me so much.
35:34Shh.
35:36No.
35:37Come here, sweetheart.
35:38Come here.
35:39Shh.
35:40Look what you did to my precious granddaughter.
35:44Pull off.
35:45Out!
35:49Grandpa, Daddy hates Mommy, right?
35:52That's why he never came back for us.
35:55No.
35:56Now, you listen to Grandpa.
35:59Your Daddy does not hate Mom.
36:01In fact, it's just the opposite.
36:04He loves her so much.
36:06He doesn't know what to do now that she's back.
36:13Christy, how could you be so heartless?
36:16You're not getting anything from me.
36:33Oh, come on.
36:41Not you, too.
36:43Christy Lane, the violin prodigy.
36:46Every guy who hears her play ends up asking her out.
36:53Hi.
36:57Um.
36:59Henry Cole.
37:04Christy Lane.
37:05Yeah.
37:08Hi.
37:15Oh, yeah.
37:17Let's go.
37:18Let's go.
37:21Let's go.
37:42God damn cow.
37:44Oh, God damn cow.
37:47Oh, God damn cow.
37:59Please leave your message after the tone.
38:02You wanted money, right?
38:05Well, I have it now.
38:07A hundred thousand, a million, ten million, whatever it is.
38:11I'll give it to you.
38:12Just stop hiding behind our daughter.
38:18Look me in the eye and beg for yourself.
38:24She won't answer.
38:27Seven years.
38:30She never picked up.
38:33Maybe she's finally living her dream.
38:36Performing on stage.
38:38Living the high life.
38:49Christy, if you hadn't left back then, we would have been the perfect family.
38:55Now I have all the money in the world.
38:58But you're the only thing I can't buy.
39:02Okay.
39:12Sir?
39:13Hey, it's Anna.
39:15She's gone.
39:22What happened?
39:26Where's Anna?
39:28I went to her room this morning and she was gone.
39:31All that was left was this note.
39:35Dear Daddy, I'm going back to Mommy.
39:37If you don't like her, then I don't like you.
39:40I have the best mommy in the world.
39:43She changed out of her new clothes.
39:45She left the house in her rags.
39:48I told you!
39:51If you were just giving her the money, she'd still be here now.
39:55Are we really so poor that we can't let $100,000 go?
39:59Your stubbornness has cost you your own daughter, Henry.
40:03This isn't my fault.
40:04I don't know what lies Christy planted in Anna's head to make her go back to her.
40:08To a woman that made her beg for food on the streets.
40:11I...
40:12Alert the authorities.
40:13We need to find out where Christy is.
40:15Yes, sir.
40:19Sir, she's at the hospital.
40:22The hospital.
40:24The hospital.
40:27Let's go!
40:28We're bringing my granddaughter back home!
40:31Go, go.
40:35I'm sorry, Mommy.
40:37I found Daddy.
40:39But he hates us.
40:40He wouldn't even let us use Grandpa's credit card to save you.
40:47But it's okay.
40:49I don't play the violin until we have enough money to pay for your surgery.
41:00Ugh, I can't believe I twisted my ankle.
41:03If it weren't for that stupid violin, Brad, Henry and Arthur would have never kicked me out.
41:09Wait, that's her.
41:11What is she doing here?
41:14What are you doing here?
41:17My mommy is sick.
41:18I was just taking her outside.
41:20She's still in her rags.
41:22That means Henry and Arthur didn't give her anything.
41:25I knew it.
41:27She was a fraud.
41:28Um, can I go now, ma'am?
41:31Wait.
41:32She's still in her rags.
41:32She's still in her rags.
41:33She's still in her rags.
