00:00We, uh, Melody, Rachel's friend in high school.
00:06That's what I have to say to Rachel.
00:08A grateful slut.
00:10Never gave me nothing.
00:13Well, I think you're entitled to some overdue compensation.
00:22I can do that for you, if you want.
00:25Of course I want.
00:27How much we talking?
00:28Because of you, Rachel, I lost my man, my job, my status.
00:37Get her out of here.
00:38No!
00:38And worst of all, I had to come back to this miserable dump of a town.
00:45But soon, you'll get what's coming to you.
01:17Do you have a monster nightmare, too?
01:20Uh, uh, no, uh, I can't really sleep until I find my own daughter, so I've just been sending our
01:27description to some of the local stations.
01:31But, uh, shouldn't you be sleeping?
01:35Yeah, but I can't fall asleep without a good night song.
01:39Uh, my mom is asleep.
01:41Uh, why don't we, uh, here, come here.
01:43Uh, why don't we, uh, here, come here.
02:17Don't go yet. Sing to me a little more.
02:22Okay.
02:26Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
02:34If that mockingbird, don't say. Mama's gonna buy you a diamond.
02:53Where is Lily?
03:02I haven't felt a man's touch in seven years. He feels so comforting, so safe.
03:13I don't really know this woman at all, but something about her feels so right.
03:34Hi, um, I'm sorry if I was sleeping in your bed. It's just...
03:40It's your bed.
03:41That's true. It was just, Lily woke up in the middle of the night, and she came and found me
03:46and asked me to sing her lullaby, and I guess, I guess it worked on me.
03:51He's so good to us. I could get used to this.
03:55It's okay. Me and Lily's really taken to you. Can you tell she's been wanting a father figure?
04:01She's so sweet.
04:02Yeah.
04:03It makes her way right into your heart. No one's ever gonna take her from you.
04:12All right, I gotta go to work. So, why don't you take the day and, you know, make yourself at
04:19home?
04:21Yeah. Once Lily is ready, I can head to the office as well.
04:24No. I mean, after what happened yesterday, she really needs her mom, right? Spend some time with her.
04:30Okay.
04:40All right, here you go, baby. Orange juice.
04:45Okay, hold on. I'll be right back.
04:55Dad?
04:59Hello, Rachel. Miss me?
05:03Mom! Lily, run to your room and lock the door.
05:05Who's Lily? My granddaughter?
05:08Stop right now, girl.
05:09No, don't listen to him. Run!
05:11Where are you going?
05:14Grandpa wants me to his grandchild.
05:16The one his horrid daughter kept from him all these years.
05:19You're not my father, and you're not her grandfather, so leave now!
05:22Do you think I could just leave after finally finding you?
05:27Oh, my God.
05:28Oh.
05:29Well, maybe something did come of you after all.
05:33Let me guess. This rich sucker here is a daddy?
05:36No. My boss was kind enough to let us stay here for a couple days. You need to leave!
05:40But she's not keeping up with the bus.
05:42Even better.
05:43That info's going to be worth something to someone.
05:45You need to get out.
05:47I'm not afraid of you anymore.
05:49Well, little girl, you should be.
05:51Now, where's my granddaughter?
05:54Wait, no, no, no, no, no.
06:00Stop!
06:01No, no, no, no.
06:03Don't you dare touch my daughter.
06:05I'm impressed.
06:06You've grown some balls as I've seen you.
06:08Maybe you take after me after all.
06:10I am nothing like you.
06:12Ten grand.
06:13Get me to leave.
06:14You don't have that kind of money.
06:15Steal it from your boss.
06:16I'm already dead.
06:18You know how to.
06:19Watch your mouth.
06:20Okay, the days of me stealing for you are over.
06:22A thief always stays a thief.
06:25Either there's a briefcase full of bills when I come back tomorrow where your nice boss
06:31finds out that you have a coronal record and all of this fancy playing house disappears.
06:39Tell your mom not to get clever.
06:41Just do what grandpa says, okay?
06:58He found me.
06:59Everything is ruined.
07:00What am I going to do?
07:02Okay.
07:07Mommy, I don't want the stinky man to come back.
07:10No, no, no, no.
07:11I promise you, Lily, you are never going to see him again.
07:15I have no choice.
07:17I'll have to disappear again.
07:19Thanks, mom.
07:32I don't know where you're going to sleep tomorrow, my child.
07:35And I'm so sorry.
07:37Hey.
07:39I'm too late.
07:41Let's open it.
07:42Help Tucker.
07:44You okay?
07:47Hey.
07:58Hey, hey, easy.
08:00He fainted.
08:02I brought you in here because I didn't want you to wake up, Lily.
08:06I think the stress of what happened to Lily is getting to me.
08:10Is there anything I can do to help?
08:16Maybe just hug me.
08:23Help me.
08:33I learned to walk without a net, to rise before the light is set.
08:42I learned to walk without a net, to rise before the light is set.
09:01With tired hands and steady breath, I choose what still can grow, not break.
09:09I learned to care for fragile things that only live.
09:25I know the language of the ground, the quiet work that makes no sound.
09:32Now, Bert, you're beautifully hired me.
09:35This may be the only moment he and I will ever have together.
09:39I miss him already.
09:40Don't tell me.
09:52Don't tell me.
10:15Eddie, you've been so good to me and Lily, but I don't want to bring all my troubles into
10:20your life.
10:21I don't want to break your heart.
10:24So, goodbye.
10:25Bye.
10:26Bye.
10:57Happy.
10:58Bye.
10:58Buddy, thank you for everything.
11:00But you're just too good for us.
11:02Please forgive me.
11:10Where are you?
11:13Why did you leave?
11:15Bye.
11:19Bye.
11:20Bye.
11:22Bye.
11:32Hank, I left my boss's house. Don't bother looking for me. You're not going to find me.
11:38Hey, come here.
11:40You and I, I'm going to stay at Marge's for a little while.
11:43Just until Mommy can find us a better solution, okay?
11:45Just think of it as a little fun adventure.
11:49It's okay, Mommy. As long as we're together.
11:52Okay. Come here.
11:57But I am sad not to live with Eddie anymore. I wish he was my daddy.
12:04Yeah.
12:09I knew I'd find you here.
12:14I've been looking for you two for days.
12:16Do you know it's against the law to run away from social services?
12:20Grab your bag, child. I'm going to take you to your father's house.
12:23Shh.
12:25Where are you, my little granddaughter?
12:29Leave me alone.
12:31Come here.
12:33No.
12:34Same height?
12:36Same hair color?
12:38Could it be?
12:45Please don't take me here for my mommy?
12:47Come here.
12:48Stop. Stop. Stop.
12:49How old is she?
12:52Take your hands off, my granddaughter.
13:00I said, take your hands off.
13:02I said, take your hands off.
13:02Ma'am, I don't know why you think this girl is your granddaughter, but I am in the middle of
13:07returning her to the custody of her father.
13:08This girl's father is my son.
13:12I'm sure.
13:13Unless you have proof, Lily is coming with me.
13:22Bella Gold, same as the father, Henry Gold.
13:28Ma'am, I am so sorry.
13:31Let me explain.
13:32This girl's mother is a neglectful, abusive street person.
13:36The child's at risk.
13:38She's better off if I take her.
13:42Neglectful?
13:43Abusive?
13:43Ma'am, that's not true.
13:45Well, what are you talking about?
13:47I'm talking about a criminal record.
13:50Injury.
13:50Child exploitation for labor.
13:53That is precisely what neglected.
13:54Look, she's lying.
13:56Okay, Lily is more important to me than myself.
13:57I would never hurt her.
13:59But please, you have to believe me.
14:01I'm sure an intelligent woman like Mrs. Gold is better than to listen to a criminal.
14:20Sweet child, do you always tell the truth?
14:25I thought so.
14:26So tell me, is it true, all these things that this lady just said?
14:31No, not at all.
14:33Please, I promise, please don't separate me from my mommy.
14:37Please.
14:38I believe you.
14:39Don't worry.
14:42Just a minute.
14:44There are regulations.
14:45There are laws.
14:46I heard my granddaughter.
14:49Now leave this family alone before I tell your superiors to investigate this disgrace.
15:02Ma'am, look, I am grateful that you saved us.
15:07The Lily's not your granddaughter.
15:09My daughter, actually, she is.
15:14And you're the woman who saved my son seven years ago.
15:23But your son wants to take my daughter away from me.
15:27Everything fits, dear.
15:28Now you and my son will get married properly.
15:33It'll be a magnificent wedding.
15:35And of course, Lily will be the flower girl.
15:39And of course, Lily will be the flower girl.
15:39No, no, no.
15:40I can't marry your son.
15:41It's not that simple.
15:42Oh, nonsense.
15:44My son is every woman's dream.
15:47Don't you remember how handsome he is?
15:52And this little one will inherit our empire.
15:57She will have everything.
15:59Safety, power, and the best life you could ever imagine.
16:06You've won the lottery, young lady.
16:10They will never give up Lily.
16:12If I say no, they could take her from me.
16:15If I say yes, they could protect us from Hank.
16:18But all I keep thinking about is Eddie.
16:21So you agree?
16:28So you agree?
16:32I'll make it easy for you.
16:35Let me phone my son.
16:36He's dying to meet the two of you.
16:39You know what?
16:40I need to go to the pharmacy to grab a couple things for Lily.
16:43Come on, baby.
16:44Let's go.
16:45I want to stay with Grandma.
16:48Don't worry, darling.
16:50I'll keep her safe.
16:51Okay.
16:56Lily, will you go play in the kids' area until Mommy gets back?
17:05Son, I found your daughter.
17:07What are you talking about?
17:08Daughter will be here in a minute.
17:10I thought we'd have a video chat.
17:12And I've found her mother, too.
17:15The one you'll finally marry.
17:16Married, Mom.
17:18She abuses my daughter.
17:20Lies and rumors.
17:22She's actually a wonderful woman and I'm not at all neglectful.
17:26The social workers hit...
17:27And she's so beautiful.
17:29No wonder you've been looking for her all these years.
17:32I can't believe she found her.
17:35I wanted this mystery woman for years, but now I know it's just a fantasy.
17:40Rachel's the one I love.
17:41Mom, I can't marry her.
17:43All right.
17:45I'll love somebody else.
17:50What?
17:52Let me get this straight.
17:55First, this woman saves you from freezing to death.
17:59And then you pine after her for seven years, unable to settle down with anybody else because you can't get
18:06her out of your head.
18:06Mom, please.
18:08Then we find out that you have a child with her.
18:11And then I find both of them.
18:13And now you've got cold feet.
18:17I'm so confused.
18:19Everything is happening at once.
18:21The perfect night I had with Eddie.
18:23My evil father finding me.
18:25And now I'm being forced into a wedding with the least father?
18:28You're obviously not ready to be a father.
18:30Mom, that's not fair.
18:31Well, I'm not going to let you, after all these years, disappoint the child that came into our lives.
18:38When you're ready to marry her mother, then you can see her.
18:42Mom.
18:46Oh, there you are.
18:48Well, until I figure out what's going on with my silly son, the two of you can come and live
18:54with me.
18:57And I won't take no for an answer.
19:25Are you calling to let me know that you agree to marry the mother of your daughter?
19:30No, Mom.
19:31Then we have nothing to discuss.
19:33Mom, I'm her father.
19:34I want to see her.
19:34Son, this is a child we're talking about.
19:38You can't just say hi and disappear.
19:40She needs commitment.
19:42She needs a father in her life.
19:44A real father.
19:45Until you get a grip, you're to stay out of her life.
19:49I won't let you hurt my granddaughter.
20:01Clear.
20:05Has Rachel Flynn called?
20:07No, sir.
20:08She doesn't list any messages.
20:15I don't understand where she went or what scared her off.
20:19She must think that night we spent together was a mistake.
20:23Perhaps my mom is right.
20:24I should let Rachel go.
20:26No, I have a daughter now.
20:32I'm going to slow down.
20:39I hope you like those pancakes.
20:41I love them.
20:42Best pancakes ever.
20:45Do you want to try the pancakes?
20:47No, I'm good.
20:48I'm not hungry.
20:51So have you given the marriage any more thought, dear?
20:55Look, this is all really nice.
20:58But I don't think I can marry your son.
21:00Well, what do you mean?
21:02I don't know anything about him.
21:03Well, what do you want to know?
21:06I don't know if he's a good man.
21:08I don't know if he would be a good father to Lily.
21:09Lily, that's the last thing you should be worrying about.
21:13He's a kind, caring, wonderful man.
21:18Mom, you have to try this.
21:24Lily looks so happy.
21:26She deserves to have her father in her life.
21:29But I'm in love with Eddie.
21:31And I can't go against what my heart wants.
21:37Is there anything else you'd like to know?
21:38I'm not sure.
21:42Well, he's very excited to meet you both.
21:46And he works in real estate, as you know.
21:52Are you okay, Rachel?
21:54Yeah, I'm fine.
21:56Can you excuse me?
21:59Mom?
22:01Mom will be fine.
22:03Call the doctor.
22:07My ultrasound got something.
22:09But I do suggest you come to the office next week
22:13so we can have a better look at the fetus.
22:19Congratulations.
22:37Rachel, you're about to speak to Eddie.
22:40Okay, but you're too late.
22:46Come in.
22:53I have something to tell you.
22:59We're going to be a real family.
23:01You first.
23:02Okay.
23:05First, I just want to say I'm sorry for leaving like that.
23:09But I didn't want you to...
23:10You didn't want me.
23:12And so you bailed.
23:14No, no, no, it's not that.
23:16I need you to know...
23:17Honey, I don't want to know.
23:19All right, you came back here because you feel guilty fine.
23:21But to be honest with you, it's too late.
23:25I'm being married.
23:28What?
23:30To who?
23:32It's a long story.
23:34Congratulations.
23:37Look, I just don't feel guilty, all right?
23:39I guess...
23:42I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
23:44But it was.
23:45Was there something else you wanted to say?
23:48I'm getting married, too.
23:50What?
23:51Then why didn't you say anything?
23:53You don't say anything at all.
23:54You just leave without saying a word.
23:56Eddie!
23:57Look, you don't owe me an explanation, all right?
23:59You don't.
24:00Just do me a favor.
24:02Just go.
24:06Just go.
24:07No, look.
24:08I do need to explain.
24:10Eddie, that night that we spent together, that amazing night...
24:14Well, it couldn't have been that amazing, could it?
24:16Because you left the next morning and you broke my heart.
24:18Look, my father found me at your house.
24:20He's really violent and dangerous, and he threatened us.
24:24You didn't what?
24:26Why didn't you say something to me?
24:28Because you deserve someone like you.
24:30Somebody without a criminal past.
24:32Without a child and debts.
24:35Without an unstable life.
24:37You're wrong, all right?
24:38I deserve you.
24:40I want you.
24:44You know what?
24:44This would have worked out, too.
24:46All we had to do was talk about it.
24:47That's it.
24:47All we had to do was talk.
24:50But now it's too late, you know?
24:53I mean, I'm getting married.
24:56What?
25:05What's this?
25:10Is this what I think it is?
25:13It's yours.
25:16It's ours.
25:18And I'm gonna keep the baby.
25:21I'm gonna try.
25:22And you can be a part of its life if you want, of course.
25:28I do, but...
25:31I don't understand.
25:32Why would you marry somebody else if you're pregnant with my child?
25:35I'm gonna marry Lily's father.
25:37Or else I'm afraid that he's gonna take Lily away from me.
25:43Rachel, I promise you with everything that I love,
25:45I will not let that happen.
25:47All right?
25:48If he comes after you, I'll get the best lawyers you can get.
25:51If he tries something, I'll crush him.
25:54What are you actually saying?
25:56What I'm saying is we have to stop letting other people dictate our lives.
25:59Right?
25:59Do you trust me?
26:00I do.
26:01I do, but you're also getting married.
26:03I want to marry you, Rachel Flynn.
26:13Will you marry me?
26:15Are you really?
26:17Yeah.
26:20Of course I'll marry you.
26:32I need the quartet by three and the flowers by three.
26:36And remember, I only want lilies.
26:41Emma, why don't you sit down?
26:43We have something important to talk about.
26:46I'll have to call off the wedding.
26:48I'll have to cancel it.
26:52I am literally in the middle of arranging your dream wedding for tomorrow.
26:58What possible reason could you have for not going through with it?
27:03You're going to be a grandmother.
27:05Again.
27:08This changes nothing.
27:10I don't know who you went and got pregnant, but...
27:14This woman has been raising your daughter alone for almost seven years.
27:19You want me to spend the rest of my life with someone I don't want to be with?
27:23Hey, stop being dramatic, all right?
27:26Yeah, can you?
27:32Son, you follow your heart.
27:36Then at least meet the woman who is the mother of your child.
27:42Apologize and promise her your unending support.
27:47Okay.
27:48I will.
27:51Greg, call the mother of my child.
27:53Set up a meeting for tomorrow, right now.
28:03Are you sure she's coming?
28:12Hello?
28:15Oh, my goodness.
28:16Um, all right.
28:17Yeah, yeah, we're on the way.
28:19Okay.
28:19Hey, we got to go.
28:21Hey, get a pen and paper.
28:27Thank you, brother.
28:50I can't wait to find out why Eddie set up this meeting here.
28:53He's so romantic.
28:55Maybe he's better whisk me away on a pre-wedding honeymoon.
29:01Oh, hi.
29:02Um, let me get...
29:04Sorry, I believe Mr. Gold has left this for you.
29:08Oh.
29:12I'm truly sorry to do this, but I cannot marry you.
29:16I've promised to finance the raising of our child.
29:19Be there any way you need.
29:21There's someone else I need to marry.
29:23I hope you understand.
29:25Eddie, go.
29:36Oh, thank you.
29:37I'm okay.
29:38You're okay?
29:39I'm sorry.
29:40Anything I did?
29:41No, everything's fine.
29:42It's just low blood sugar.
29:47Eddie, I don't need you to help me with our child.
29:50I'll manage.
29:51I'll be marrying Lily's father, and I don't want to hear from you anymore.
29:57Honey?
29:58Everything okay?
30:00I just got guilt.
30:02Oh, sweetie.
30:03That's horrible.
30:07All is not lost.
30:09We haven't actually canceled the wedding to the mother of your daughter yet.
30:16And after all, you have this sweet child who really needs you.
30:20A beautiful, wonderful woman who's agreed to marry you.
30:25Trust your mother.
30:28You'll be happy with her.
30:44This is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen in my whole life.
30:49You'll be like Cinderella at the bar.
30:52Or actually, like Elsa.
30:55Yes, it's beautiful.
30:58My dear, this pendant has been passed down through my family for generations.
31:05We call it the jewel of undying love.
31:08Oh my goodness, that's too much.
31:10No.
31:10I insist.
31:12We're family now.
31:15And family doesn't keep score.
31:24Come on, Mom.
31:26Try on the dress.
31:27I can't wait anymore.
31:28Okay.
31:30Okay.
31:32Okay.
31:38Hey.
31:38Take a seat.
31:39Bye.
31:54Bye.
31:57Bye.
31:59Bye.
32:00I don't know.
32:33Honey! Remember me? I'm your mommy's friend.
32:37You're a bad, disgusting woman who did bad things to my mom.
32:42Oh, your mom adores me. You can trust me.
32:46No, I don't believe you.
32:49Help!
32:57Okay, honey, what do we think?
33:00Lily?
33:08Hey there, pumpkin. It's daddy.
33:11You've got one hour to bring a million bucks to the grove behind the industrial park.
33:17If you don't, or if you tell anyone, little Lily here dies.
33:22Rachel, stay focused. Do what you need to do to save your daughter. There's no choice. But how do I
33:29get that much money?
33:41Lily?
33:45Lily?
33:46One more move?
33:47The kid's dead meat!
33:58Oh, for heaven's sake, where is she?
34:11One more move?
34:13The kid's dead meat!
34:15No, please let her go!
34:16Moody first!
34:23What the hell is this?
34:25This isn't cash!
34:26Shut the hell up, idiot. It looks valuable.
34:28No, it is. It's worth a fortune. Okay, look it up. It's called the Jewel of Undying Love. You take
34:34that, and then you let my daughter go.
34:36Okay.
34:37Okay. We'll take the jewels.
34:39Okay.
34:40And we'll take the girl, too. And if you're telling the truth, we'll let her go. But if not...
34:49No, no, no! Stop right there!
34:54Stop right there!
34:57Stop right there!
35:00This old woman thinks she can stop us?
35:04What? You're gonna chase us with your walker?
35:09Get me the police.
35:11Rachel?
35:13Eddie?
35:14Uh-uh!
35:16Just stay right where you are!
35:17If you don't want to die today, I suggest you put that knife down.
35:20Is that any way to talk to your father-in-law, big guy?
35:24Ah!
35:30I have nothing to do with this, please!
35:32That crazy man, he kidnapped me!
35:36You fucking bitch!
35:38Mommy!
35:42You fucking bitch!
35:43Mommy!
35:47Mommy!
35:48I am...
35:52Oh my God, I am so confused.
35:56Are you Lily's mother?
35:57Yeah!
35:59Wait...
36:00You know Rachel and Lily, sir?
36:03Eddie!
36:05It's been you the whole time?
36:13Scar...
36:16It's always been you.
36:17Oh, it's you.
36:19It's always been you.
36:21Wait, so she's the woman you're in love with?
36:28Wait...
36:28You're my dad?
36:31Yes, Lily, Eddie is your dad.
36:34Daddy!
36:38You know, from the moment I first saw you, I knew we were supposed to be together.
36:42You see, son, I told you you'd want to marry her.
36:46Your mother is always right.
37:02Mom!
37:02Dad!
37:03How do you like my dad?
37:04Oh, that's stunning, sweetheart.
37:06You look just like your mother.
37:09Well, do you call me?
37:11See you soon!
37:16Well...
37:17What do you say we get married?
37:19I'd love that.
37:20Yeah?
37:20Mm-hmm.
37:21But first...
37:23May I kiss you?
37:25Yeah, I guess one kiss wouldn't hurt.
37:30I'm not receiving when you look at me.
37:33I'm finally letting myself be known.
37:36I didn't know I had room for more.
37:40I don't have to stand alone anymore.
37:43I'm not receiving...
37:59Layla, listen.
38:01If you decide to terminate this pregnancy based on your condition,
38:04you may become infertile.
38:07Think about it.
38:20The father of this bastard child!
38:34I...
38:35I don't know.
38:37You don't know?
38:41Take her to the doctors.
38:44To get an abortion!
38:46No!
38:47I won't!
38:48I already lost my mother and I won't...
