00:00:00She's only five.
00:00:01She's had a fever for days, and she even lost her voice.
00:00:05Father, please open the door.
00:00:09Save my little girl.
00:00:16She's only five.
00:00:18She's...
00:00:21Wait, Mom, don't look.
00:00:24What?
00:00:25Father, please open...
00:00:27Father, please open the door.
00:00:31Save my little girl.
00:00:38She's only five.
00:00:40She's had a fever for days, and she even lost her voice.
00:00:44You want to save her life?
00:00:45I'll make sure she has the best doctors,
00:00:48if you hand her over to child services.
00:00:51What?
00:00:52What does that mean?
00:00:53The fact of the matter, Maria,
00:00:55is that you humiliated our family by having a child with a criminal.
00:00:59If you really want what's best for her,
00:01:01come home and restore our family's legacy.
00:01:06What are you doing?
00:01:07My mirror back!
00:01:08My mirror back!
00:01:11Poor thing, look at her.
00:01:13She's barely hanging on.
00:01:15Don't be selfish, Maria.
00:01:17Say yes.
00:01:19Emma!
00:01:27Okay, I'll do it.
00:01:29Just save her.
00:01:36I love you.
00:01:44Mommy, no!
00:01:58Mommy, I have no choice.
00:02:00Remember this scar.
00:02:02Even if they tear us apart,
00:02:03you'll be able to find me again.
00:02:11Webby, what are you doing?
00:02:13Why did you do that?
00:02:16Same scar.
00:02:17So you can find me, too.
00:02:26Girl up strong, sweetie.
00:02:28Will you promote me?
00:02:29I promise I'll find you.
00:02:31I promise I'll find you.
00:02:32I promise I'll find you.
00:02:40Are you really going to use
00:02:41your incomprehensible sign language
00:02:43to show your respect to the president
00:02:45in front of the whole school?
00:02:46Emma, get real.
00:02:47You're a crippled stray with no mom.
00:02:49Who are you trying to impress?
00:02:57Mom, where are you?
00:02:59I miss you.
00:03:01And I need you.
00:03:16Emma, my baby.
00:03:19I've gone from a homeless nobody
00:03:21to the president of the United States.
00:03:23And I've established scholarships
00:03:25for people with disabilities
00:03:26at many schools
00:03:27just to have a chance
00:03:29of finding you.
00:03:49Careful.
00:03:50You okay?
00:03:53Anytime.
00:03:54You understand sign language?
00:03:56I'm your sign language interpreter.
00:04:01Just kidding.
00:04:02Maria, she's my stepmother.
00:04:04And she's been searching
00:04:05for her missing daughter for years.
00:04:06She lost her voice
00:04:07before they even separated.
00:04:08And that's why I grew up learning it.
00:04:10My mom?
00:04:11Is she looking for me, too?
00:04:13Are you the student representative
00:04:15for today?
00:04:15The ceremony is a really big deal.
00:04:17You should really prepare.
00:04:18Make us proud.
00:04:19We'll see you in there.
00:04:21My good sister.
00:04:23I knew I'd find you here.
00:04:29Come with me.
00:04:30We have some things to discuss.
00:04:37Where is my money?
00:04:39I need to buy
00:04:40the latest project drug
00:04:42now.
00:04:43Natalie,
00:04:44you know that all the money
00:04:45from my scholarship
00:04:46and part-time job
00:04:47went to paying off
00:04:47your dad's gambling debt.
00:04:49We barely have enough to live.
00:04:51Just please,
00:04:52stop using drugs.
00:04:58Have you forgotten?
00:04:59Last time you got high,
00:05:00you started a fire.
00:05:01You were burned.
00:05:02You started to hallucinate
00:05:03and started to lose your voice.
00:05:05Shut up.
00:05:06Shut up.
00:05:07Get me my money
00:05:08or I will ask dad
00:05:10to come beat you up.
00:05:12You don't want to spend
00:05:12another night
00:05:13in the Rod and Festwood basement,
00:05:15do you?
00:05:16I really don't have any money.
00:05:18Now,
00:05:19let's welcome
00:05:20our student representative
00:05:21to come on up
00:05:22and meet Madam President.
00:05:31Emma,
00:05:32are you somewhere in this room?
00:05:34Cor.
00:05:36you're here now.
00:05:37How am I supposed to call her?
00:05:39She's mute.
00:05:40What did you say?
00:05:42She's a mute?
00:05:47Just a cripple
00:05:48your own mother
00:05:49didn't even want.
00:05:50Get me the money
00:05:51or I'm gonna ask dad
00:05:53to throw you out
00:05:54and then what?
00:05:55You're gonna sell your body?
00:05:57Your mom was probably
00:05:58a whore too.
00:06:00Don't you dare
00:06:01talk about my mom like that.
00:06:02She don't even remember
00:06:03what she looked like.
00:06:04But all you know,
00:06:06she could be trash.
00:06:07That fever,
00:06:08when I was little,
00:06:10it blurred her face
00:06:11right out of my memory.
00:06:12Is this real crystal?
00:06:18Get me the money
00:06:19or I'm gonna pawn it.
00:06:21No,
00:06:21it's all I have left
00:06:22of my mom.
00:06:23Please,
00:06:24it's not worth anything.
00:06:34I'm warning you,
00:06:35I am crashing hard.
00:06:38Get me the money
00:06:39or I might actually
00:06:41break your neck.
00:06:43Who would care
00:06:44if a mute like her dies anyway?
00:06:59Sweetheart?
00:07:00Are you okay?
00:07:04Damn it.
00:07:05Every time I crash,
00:07:06I can't get a sound out.
00:07:08She's mute.
00:07:09Could it be?
00:07:14Mother,
00:07:15look at this.
00:07:28Is this yours?
00:07:32Is this yours?
00:07:34Yes.
00:07:36May I see your arm?
00:07:37Holy crap,
00:07:38that's President Roosevelt.
00:07:39Why does she want
00:07:40to see my arm?
00:07:47I knew it.
00:07:48I knew it.
00:07:50I knew it.
00:07:52What's happening?
00:07:53Why did the U.S. President
00:07:55suddenly hug me and cry?
00:08:00I made these scars
00:08:01so that we could
00:08:03find each other again.
00:08:04I will never
00:08:05let you suffer again.
00:08:06So the President
00:08:07is that mute loser's mom?
00:08:09And she totally
00:08:11thinks I'm Emma
00:08:12because I can't
00:08:13talk right now.
00:08:14And the scar to match?
00:08:15No wonder
00:08:16she's so sure.
00:08:17With a mom like this,
00:08:19I'll never have to
00:08:20worry about money again.
00:08:22Sweet little Emma,
00:08:23don't blame me.
00:08:24I'm far more deserving
00:08:26of becoming the
00:08:27first daughter
00:08:27of the United States
00:08:28than you.
00:08:29You should just
00:08:30run away
00:08:31with my drunk dad
00:08:32in the ghetto.
00:08:33Will you come
00:08:34home with me?
00:08:35Watch me steal
00:08:36everything that
00:08:37should have been yours.
00:08:40Mom,
00:08:41I've missed you
00:08:42so much.
00:08:43Take me home.
00:08:47Good thing I know
00:08:48sign language
00:08:49from living with Emma
00:08:49all those years.
00:08:51That mute leached
00:08:51off us long enough.
00:08:53Finally,
00:08:54something good
00:08:55comes out of it.
00:08:56I found you.
00:09:04Please,
00:09:05let me through.
00:09:06That's my necklace.
00:09:09Hey, my mom,
00:09:10don't you think
00:09:11we should do
00:09:11a DNA test first?
00:09:13She's your schoolmate.
00:09:15Do you know her?
00:09:15Natalie and I
00:09:16have never really spoken,
00:09:17but you're the president.
00:09:18We should do
00:09:18a DNA test first
00:09:19before the media
00:09:20gets a hold of us.
00:09:21What Ryan is saying
00:09:22does make sense.
00:09:29Ryan,
00:09:30I want you
00:09:30to notify the staff.
00:09:31I want to do
00:09:32a White House dinner
00:09:33telling everyone
00:09:33that my long-lost daughter
00:09:34is back.
00:09:40Let's go home.
00:09:46How strange.
00:09:47My heart aches.
00:09:49Why do I feel like
00:09:50I forgot something
00:09:50precious behind?
00:09:56I can't let her see Emma.
00:09:58Mom,
00:09:59I can't believe
00:10:00I found you.
00:10:01I missed you so much
00:10:02all these years.
00:10:03I'm so sorry.
00:10:05It's my fault.
00:10:06Can you ever
00:10:07forgive me
00:10:08for leaving you alone
00:10:09all these years?
00:10:09I will never
00:10:10let you go again.
00:10:11What am I thinking?
00:10:13My daughter's right here.
00:10:15They're leaving?
00:10:17No, I can't let them
00:10:18take my mom's necklace.
00:10:19Natalie, wait!
00:10:27Natalie, where are you going?
00:10:29If anything happens to you,
00:10:31your dad will kill me.
00:10:32Please, come back
00:10:33and give me my mom's necklace.
00:10:39I'm Maria Roosevelt,
00:10:41President of the United States.
00:10:43Thirteen years ago,
00:10:45I was homeless
00:10:46and my daughter
00:10:47was taken from me.
00:10:48Out of desperation,
00:10:49I burned my own arm
00:10:51so that she would always
00:10:52be able to recognize me.
00:10:54The scar.
00:10:55My mom's alive
00:10:57and she's the President
00:10:59of the United States?
00:11:04After a decade of searching,
00:11:06President Maria Roosevelt
00:11:07has been reunited
00:11:08with her long-lost
00:11:09biological daughter.
00:11:11To celebrate the reunion,
00:11:12the President has announced
00:11:14a construction plan
00:11:15to build a brand-new stadium
00:11:16for the school.
00:11:18No, that's not true.
00:11:20Mom, you're mistaken.
00:11:21I'm Emma.
00:11:23I am your daughter.
00:11:29Welcome home,
00:11:30Miss Natalie Roosevelt.
00:11:40Damn, now this is life.
00:11:42I can get used to this.
00:11:45Mom had the chain
00:11:45replaced with gold.
00:11:47Better suits your new status.
00:11:49Will the DNA test results
00:11:50be ready tonight?
00:11:52Yeah, of course.
00:11:53Here.
00:11:54Now, Miss Natalie,
00:11:56let's find your room,
00:11:57get you ready
00:11:57for your new welcome party.
00:11:58Madam President
00:11:59really values this
00:12:00new gathering,
00:12:01so she invited
00:12:01all the most special guests
00:12:03just to see you.
00:12:07So this is the life
00:12:08of a first daughter?
00:12:10I'm the one
00:12:11who deserves this luxury,
00:12:12not that little bitch.
00:12:15What an idiot!
00:12:16How do you even work here?
00:12:18Ugh!
00:12:19Lick my shoe
00:12:20before I tell the...
00:12:21Snap!
00:12:22I forgot I have to be mute.
00:12:32Where's my mom's necklace?
00:12:34Give it back.
00:12:38What are you doing here?
00:12:40Who little, little rat like you in?
00:12:42Ryan got me this job.
00:12:44Your dad came for money again
00:12:45and he threatened to beat me.
00:12:48He's your dad now.
00:12:49You two can go live happily ever after.
00:12:52Come here again
00:12:53and it will be far more
00:12:55than just a slap.
00:12:56Do not interfere
00:12:57with my new life.
00:12:58With my president's mom.
00:13:00You're lying.
00:13:01She's my mom.
00:13:02Oh, so you know now.
00:13:04I'm not going back to that dump.
00:13:06The closet here
00:13:07are bigger than our frickin' house.
00:13:09Trash like you?
00:13:10Don't deserve this.
00:13:12Natalie,
00:13:13the truth will come out.
00:13:14Aren't you scared
00:13:15of the DNA results?
00:13:17You lived in my house
00:13:19for years.
00:13:20But first daughter,
00:13:21your mommy's love,
00:13:23everything will be mine now.
00:13:25Let go.
00:13:26Natalie,
00:13:26you're insane.
00:13:29Stay invisible
00:13:30and go back to the kitchen.
00:13:32Mess up this party
00:13:33and her pretty little face
00:13:36won't be seen again.
00:13:37Got it.
00:13:38That was a present.
00:13:54Emma,
00:13:55why are you so careless?
00:13:57Sweetheart,
00:13:58what happened?
00:13:59It's nothing, Mom.
00:14:00This maid is just
00:14:01a little clumsy.
00:14:04Please take her downstairs
00:14:06to clean up.
00:14:08Mom,
00:14:09I know she's lying.
00:14:10Please,
00:14:11look at me.
00:14:12Mom.
00:14:13There's no way
00:14:14I'm going to let Emma
00:14:15ruin this for me.
00:14:1713 years.
00:14:18I've been looking for my mom.
00:14:19There's no chance
00:14:20I'm letting the girl
00:14:21who bullied me
00:14:22my whole life
00:14:23steal her from me.
00:14:24I need the perfect moment
00:14:25and proof
00:14:26so that I can tell her
00:14:27the truth about myself.
00:14:30Cheers, sweetie.
00:14:35What's wrong?
00:14:36Is everything all right?
00:14:37Mom,
00:14:38I'm right here.
00:14:39But you're so far away.
00:14:45Careful.
00:14:50How did you get
00:14:51the same scar as Natalie?
00:14:58That scar?
00:15:00How did you get
00:15:00that wound?
00:15:03this girl?
00:15:04Why does she feel
00:15:05so familiar?
00:15:07It happened
00:15:08when I was separated
00:15:09from my mom.
00:15:10We did these
00:15:10burn locks together.
00:15:12You're mute as well?
00:15:13And you were also
00:15:14separated from your
00:15:15birth mother?
00:15:18She's lying.
00:15:19I know her.
00:15:20She's my foster father's
00:15:21daughter.
00:15:22Natalie's the liar.
00:15:23She's trying to steal
00:15:24my life.
00:15:25Don't fall for it, mom.
00:15:27She got that scar
00:15:28from selling drugs
00:15:29and she lost her voice
00:15:30doing drugs.
00:15:31My real father left
00:15:32because of drugs.
00:15:33Mom,
00:15:34don't you remember?
00:15:36Only my real daughter
00:15:37knows that story.
00:15:39Stop making things up
00:15:41and turn back
00:15:42while you can.
00:15:43You don't believe her,
00:15:44right?
00:15:47What's wrong?
00:15:49Don't touch her.
00:15:50She has a
00:15:50contagious disease.
00:15:55We grew up together.
00:15:56You know what kind
00:15:57of person I am.
00:15:58My entire life
00:15:59you used me.
00:16:00Your whole family
00:16:01lived off the money
00:16:02from my part-time jobs.
00:16:03I worked day and night
00:16:05to pay back
00:16:05your father's
00:16:06gambling debts
00:16:07because of the strain
00:16:08of my heart condition
00:16:09I almost died.
00:16:11Your ungratefulness
00:16:12is one thing
00:16:12but to smear my name
00:16:14so you can steal
00:16:14my identity
00:16:15is another.
00:16:18Mom,
00:16:18you saw her.
00:16:20She slapped me.
00:16:21My whole childhood
00:16:22she bullied me
00:16:23making up stories
00:16:24so people would
00:16:25believe her.
00:16:26My mother taught
00:16:27me kindness
00:16:28but she also taught
00:16:29me to fight back
00:16:30when bullied.
00:16:30I swear
00:16:31I have never
00:16:32done drugs
00:16:33and I am not
00:16:34sick.
00:16:35That look
00:16:36her stubbornness
00:16:37just like my Emma.
00:16:44Since you both
00:16:44claim that you're
00:16:45telling the truth
00:16:48how did we get
00:16:49the scar?
00:16:54How did we get
00:16:55the scar?
00:16:58It was a piece
00:16:59of firewood.
00:16:59It was snowing.
00:17:01The houses
00:17:01were all decorated
00:17:02with holiday lights
00:17:03for Christmas.
00:17:04It was the worst
00:17:05night of my life.
00:17:12Christmas.
00:17:13The logs.
00:17:15She knows
00:17:15every detail.
00:17:16How my ex-husband
00:17:17left us.
00:17:18The origin of the scar.
00:17:20You remember
00:17:21everything.
00:17:23Is it you?
00:17:25My daughter.
00:17:27Emma.
00:17:28Is that really you?
00:17:31So, she's the real
00:17:32daughter.
00:17:34So, you lied
00:17:35to the president.
00:17:36Who are you?
00:17:38Mom, how can you
00:17:40doubt me?
00:17:41Those are my memories.
00:17:43She only knows
00:17:44because I told her
00:17:45everything while
00:17:45growing up.
00:17:46I never thought
00:17:47she used everything
00:17:48I shared and twisted
00:17:49to use it as evidence
00:17:51against me.
00:17:52Mom, I've looked
00:17:53for you for 13 years.
00:17:55Now that I've
00:17:56finally found you,
00:17:57I won't let her
00:17:58take you away.
00:18:01Fine.
00:18:05If you rather believe
00:18:07her, then what's
00:18:08the point of this?
00:18:09This was a keepsake
00:18:10for your real daughter.
00:18:12Don't you remember?
00:18:13She's right.
00:18:14The fact she still
00:18:15has this necklace
00:18:16is the only definitive
00:18:17proof that Natalie
00:18:17is my daughter.
00:18:19But this maid
00:18:20is so much
00:18:22like my daughter.
00:18:26No, Mom.
00:18:27She stole that
00:18:28necklace from me.
00:18:33You're young.
00:18:34You still have
00:18:35so much life
00:18:36ahead of you.
00:18:37Mom,
00:18:38don't believe me?
00:18:42Back off.
00:18:43Are you trying
00:18:43to hurt a president?
00:18:47If you all
00:18:48want proof,
00:18:50fine.
00:18:50I'll give you proof.
00:18:52I'll give you proof.
00:19:00a real mute
00:19:01doesn't scream
00:19:02even when
00:19:03she's hurt.
00:19:14Go on.
00:19:15Use this.
00:19:16If you can stay silent,
00:19:17then I'll admit to
00:19:18feet.
00:19:33you can speak.
00:19:39How can you speak?
00:19:46It's a miracle.
00:19:48I saw you
00:19:50and I think
00:19:50my voice
00:19:51just got healed.
00:19:54Mom,
00:19:55don't forget
00:19:56our keepsake.
00:19:57It's really me.
00:19:59Mom!
00:20:03We have
00:20:04the DNA test results.
00:20:07This is it.
00:20:09The real truth.
00:20:15Let's let science
00:20:16tell us
00:20:16who my real
00:20:17daughter is.
00:20:26Wait,
00:20:26Mom,
00:20:27don't look.
00:20:28What's wrong,
00:20:29Natalie?
00:20:30Scared of the truth?
00:20:32Why was our union
00:20:33determined
00:20:33by a cold
00:20:34piece of paper?
00:20:35I've waited
00:20:36for years
00:20:37for you.
00:20:37I kept
00:20:38the necklace.
00:20:39Does that mean
00:20:40nothing to you?
00:20:41Child,
00:20:41it's not that
00:20:42I don't believe you.
00:20:43It's just
00:20:43that you still
00:20:44need proof.
00:20:45I suffered
00:20:46for years
00:20:47and you still
00:20:48don't recognize
00:20:49your own daughter
00:20:50is standing
00:20:50right here.
00:20:51If this family
00:20:52needs evidence
00:20:54for love,
00:20:55I don't want
00:20:56to come home.
00:20:58Natalie,
00:20:59why are you so
00:20:59afraid of opening it?
00:21:00Are you feeling guilty?
00:21:02Guilty?
00:21:04Yes,
00:21:05I'm guilty.
00:21:07Guilty of being
00:21:08born into filth.
00:21:10My father
00:21:10was drunk.
00:21:12He beat us up.
00:21:14Emma and I
00:21:15grew up in poverty.
00:21:17I'm flawed.
00:21:18I don't deserve
00:21:19to be the
00:21:20president's daughter.
00:21:21But if one of us
00:21:23can escape this hell,
00:21:24let it be Emma.
00:21:25Maybe she'll be
00:21:26kind enough
00:21:27to remember me.
00:21:28After 13 years
00:21:30of abuse
00:21:30from your dad
00:21:31and 13 years
00:21:32of your bullying,
00:21:33I owe you nothing.
00:21:34I should have left
00:21:35a long time ago.
00:21:37If she wants
00:21:38to be your daughter
00:21:39that bad,
00:21:40then please accept her.
00:21:42I'll step aside.
00:21:43Enough.
00:21:44The DNA test results
00:21:45will speak for themselves.
00:21:47Mom,
00:21:47must you really read it?
00:21:49By this time tomorrow,
00:21:50this will be
00:21:50all over the press.
00:21:52Whoever my real daughter is,
00:21:54I'll give her
00:21:55her rightful name
00:21:55and the life
00:21:56she deserves.
00:22:03Natalie,
00:22:04your lies
00:22:04end today.
00:22:08And my real daughter
00:22:09is...
00:22:16Natalie.
00:22:20No,
00:22:21no,
00:22:21this is impossible.
00:22:23You wanted
00:22:23to fight me,
00:22:24Emma?
00:22:25But it looks like
00:22:26you really were born
00:22:27for the gutter.
00:22:31Baby,
00:22:32I found you.
00:22:34I knew it.
00:22:38But how could this happen?
00:22:41I am her daughter.
00:22:42What did Natalie do?
00:22:45I'm so sorry
00:22:46that I ever doubted you.
00:22:47I think I was just so afraid
00:22:49of losing you again.
00:22:50Everyone,
00:22:51I would like to introduce you to
00:22:54Natalie Roosevelt,
00:22:55my only daughter,
00:22:56reunited after 13 years.
00:23:00It's okay, Mom.
00:23:02As long as we're back together,
00:23:03that's all I care about.
00:23:05And now I have my voice back
00:23:06because of you.
00:23:08I'm so sorry.
00:23:09I'm so sorry.
00:23:10I can't even think straight.
00:23:12Ryan,
00:23:13call the medical team
00:23:14to come to have a look
00:23:15at Natalie's throat
00:23:16and her foot.
00:23:17Mom,
00:23:18I am your real daughter.
00:23:19Why can't you recognize me?
00:23:26Today is a day for celebration
00:23:28and I don't like to dwell
00:23:29on unpleasant things.
00:23:32Child,
00:23:33I know you're not a bad person,
00:23:35but you shouldn't go
00:23:36to such extremes.
00:23:37When the doctor arrives,
00:23:38I'm going to have him
00:23:39look at your foot, okay?
00:23:40Mom,
00:23:41you really don't believe me?
00:23:43Next month,
00:23:44my daughter's school
00:23:45will host their basketball finals.
00:23:47I will attend
00:23:48and introduce Natalie
00:23:50formally
00:23:50to the world.
00:23:51Please, everyone,
00:23:52be seated.
00:24:01See how pathetic you are?
00:24:03Even science favors me.
00:24:05How?
00:24:06How did you do it?
00:24:07Do you remember
00:24:08when I snatched your necklace?
00:24:10Your hair simply
00:24:11delivered itself to me.
00:24:13And when Ryan asked
00:24:14for a DNA sample,
00:24:15I simply...
00:24:19Aw.
00:24:19Do you really think
00:24:21a life like this
00:24:23is meant for someone
00:24:23like you?
00:24:25And your precious
00:24:26president, Mom.
00:24:27How stupid is she?
00:24:29She probably
00:24:30slapped her way
00:24:30into office.
00:24:32Don't insult
00:24:33my mom.
00:24:34You mean
00:24:35my mom?
00:24:37She's trash
00:24:38just like you.
00:24:40Whatever.
00:24:41Her money will be mine soon.
00:24:48My heart,
00:24:50the arrhythmia,
00:24:51it's happening again.
00:24:55Help me.
00:24:57Help you?
00:24:59No, no, no,
00:24:59little sis.
00:25:00Just look how happy
00:25:02mom is.
00:25:03If you die,
00:25:05the truth dies with you.
00:25:08I'm not taking
00:25:09any chances.
00:25:12You
00:25:12can go straight
00:25:13to hell.
00:25:15Bye-bye.
00:25:17Bye-bye.
00:25:18Bye-bye.
00:25:19Bye-bye.
00:25:24Ryan,
00:25:25bring in the gifts
00:25:25I've prepared
00:25:26for Natalie.
00:25:28Natalie, sweetheart.
00:25:30These
00:25:31are to the
00:25:32custom Cadillac
00:25:33in the garage
00:25:33so you can
00:25:34drive yourself
00:25:35to school.
00:25:37This
00:25:37has no limit
00:25:38so you can
00:25:39buy yourself
00:25:40whatever you want.
00:25:41After a life
00:25:42of things being so hard,
00:25:43you deserve not
00:25:44to worry about money.
00:25:47And I know
00:25:47it's never going
00:25:48to be enough
00:25:49but I have
00:25:50one more thing
00:25:50for you.
00:25:51Do you remember
00:25:52when you were
00:25:52a little girl
00:25:53and you always
00:25:54dreamt about
00:25:54being a princess?
00:25:57I have wandered
00:25:58for over a decade.
00:25:59I have worked
00:26:00myself to the bone
00:26:01and I'm so happy
00:26:03that I can
00:26:03finally give you
00:26:04the life you deserve.
00:26:11Welcome home,
00:26:12my little princess.
00:26:13From now on,
00:26:14I am no longer
00:26:15some drunk's daughter.
00:26:17I am America's
00:26:18first daughter
00:26:19and I'm never
00:26:20giving this life up.
00:26:22Ever.
00:26:23Mom,
00:26:25maybe in my next life
00:26:26we won't be separated.
00:26:33Emma.
00:26:35Emma.
00:26:36Emma,
00:26:37can you hear me?
00:26:39What happened?
00:26:45Emma.
00:26:46She must have taken
00:26:47something while
00:26:48we were not looking.
00:26:49She always gets like this
00:26:50when she's high.
00:26:51She tries to sober up
00:26:53but she always relapses.
00:26:55Ryan,
00:26:55please help her.
00:26:57Mom.
00:26:57Stay with me.
00:26:58The doctor's coming.
00:26:59Mom,
00:27:00you don't know her
00:27:01like I do.
00:27:01She tries to hide it
00:27:02but this always happens.
00:27:05I mean,
00:27:06she just happens
00:27:07to get sick
00:27:07right after she was
00:27:08caught lying.
00:27:09Right after mom
00:27:10and IU reunited,
00:27:12she happens
00:27:12to get sick.
00:27:14She tried her best
00:27:15just like a president's
00:27:16daughter.
00:27:16She's faking it.
00:27:18What a drama queen.
00:27:19Security got her out.
00:27:21Mom,
00:27:22it hurts.
00:27:23Everything hurts.
00:27:33My foot's still bleeding.
00:27:35Mom,
00:27:36why do you care
00:27:37about my foster sister
00:27:38so much?
00:27:39Do you like her?
00:27:40Sweetie,
00:27:40of course I do.
00:27:41If you like me,
00:27:42you will tell her
00:27:43to leave.
00:27:43She bullied me
00:27:45since a child.
00:27:46I can't bear
00:27:46to see her anymore.
00:27:49Mom,
00:27:50I promise you
00:27:50she is not
00:27:51faking this.
00:27:52This is cardiac
00:27:53arrhythmia
00:27:53and if she doesn't
00:27:54get help soon,
00:27:54she's gonna die.
00:27:55You know this
00:27:56sentence better
00:27:57than anyone,
00:27:57don't you?
00:27:59Emma,
00:27:59stay with me.
00:28:00Stay with me
00:28:01for your mother.
00:28:02The doctor is here.
00:28:13She's still alive?
00:28:15It looks like
00:28:16I'll need another
00:28:16way to finish
00:28:17her all for good.
00:28:18Madam President,
00:28:19the patient's
00:28:20arrhythmia
00:28:21was triggered
00:28:22by severe
00:28:22emotional stress.
00:28:23She likely
00:28:24had a high fever
00:28:25as a child
00:28:26without proper
00:28:27treatment,
00:28:28resulting in
00:28:29permanent
00:28:29myocardial damage.
00:28:31A fever?
00:28:32That's exactly
00:28:33what happened
00:28:33to Emma
00:28:33when she was little.
00:28:35Mom,
00:28:35it's me.
00:28:37It's really me.
00:28:38Her medication
00:28:39must be handled
00:28:40very carefully.
00:28:41Many common drugs
00:28:43coercen her condition.
00:28:47Emma,
00:28:47you have to
00:28:48get better soon.
00:28:50Seeing you like this,
00:28:51it hurts me so much.
00:28:53What am I thinking?
00:28:55Natalie is my daughter.
00:28:56The report proved it.
00:28:58Could all of this
00:28:59really be just
00:28:59a coincidence?
00:29:00Maybe she's just
00:29:01another unfortunate child
00:29:02with a similar history.
00:29:04Doctor,
00:29:04would you please
00:29:05check Natalie's
00:29:05vocal cords?
00:29:06That's not necessary, Mom.
00:29:08Oh.
00:29:09Sweetie,
00:29:10do this for Mommy, huh?
00:29:11It'll lose my mind.
00:29:19No significant
00:29:20structural damage
00:29:21to Miss Natalie's
00:29:22vocal cords.
00:29:23Her previous silence
00:29:24was likely functional,
00:29:26caused by fever
00:29:27and psychological trauma.
00:29:29And now,
00:29:31her vocal function
00:29:32appears fully restored.
00:29:33It's a miracle.
00:29:34That's wonderful.
00:29:36That's such wonderful news.
00:29:37Under my daughter
00:29:38Natalie's name,
00:29:39I'm going to establish
00:29:40a charity fund
00:29:41dedicated to helping
00:29:42children with vocal disorders.
00:29:43Mom,
00:29:44that's so kind.
00:29:46You've inspired me.
00:29:48I'm so worried about Emma.
00:29:50She has nowhere to go.
00:29:53Can't she stay here
00:29:54as my personal maid?
00:29:56And I can make sure
00:29:57she gets healthy
00:29:57and sober up.
00:29:58Oh, sweetie.
00:29:59You're so kind.
00:30:01Of course Emma can stay
00:30:02here at the White House.
00:30:03And I'm sure
00:30:03with you watching over her,
00:30:05she's going to feel
00:30:05really safe.
00:30:06Don't worry, Mom.
00:30:07I'll take good care of Emma.
00:30:11Don't fight her.
00:30:12Not now.
00:30:16Natalie,
00:30:17keeping me here
00:30:18will be your downfall.
00:30:28Don't bother struggling,
00:30:30mute girl.
00:30:31I forgot my ashtray.
00:30:33Oh, wait.
00:30:34She's right here.
00:30:37Do you want to try,
00:30:39Oh.
00:30:41How's your first day
00:30:42helping my maid?
00:30:43Because also
00:30:44could you feel
00:30:45that way?
00:30:52How does this sound?
00:30:55A White House maid
00:30:57while stealing
00:30:58White House property
00:31:01accidentally fell
00:31:02down the stairs
00:31:03while she was
00:31:04trying to escape.
00:31:06Sound believable, right?
00:31:08She's actually willing
00:31:10to kill me
00:31:10to steal my identity?
00:31:11This is the White House.
00:31:13Someone will notice.
00:31:15But you probably think
00:31:16that I wouldn't have
00:31:17the guts to do it.
00:31:19I'm first daughter now
00:31:21and you're just a nobody.
00:31:24No one will miss.
00:31:25But I'm not
00:31:26completely heartless,
00:31:27so I'll give you a choice.
00:31:29You leave DC,
00:31:31Mom and me,
00:31:32forever.
00:31:33And I'll spare you alive.
00:31:35I won't go.
00:31:37I just found my mom again.
00:31:39I won't leave her.
00:31:41Don't side and
00:31:42warn you.
00:31:43Take her to the railing.
00:31:46No!
00:31:50No, it can't end like this.
00:31:53Wait.
00:31:54Let her go.
00:31:57Natalie, please.
00:31:58I swear,
00:31:59I'll stay silent.
00:32:00I'll play my role
00:32:01as your maid.
00:32:02Always.
00:32:03I just want to be close
00:32:05to my mom.
00:32:06Mom may look calm,
00:32:07but she's already doubting you.
00:32:09You've slipped up so many times.
00:32:11You didn't know
00:32:12how the scar formed.
00:32:13You aren't mute.
00:32:15You got lucky.
00:32:16But next time...
00:32:17What are you saying?
00:32:19Hate me.
00:32:20I can give you
00:32:21real memories,
00:32:22real details,
00:32:23things only her real daughter
00:32:25would know.
00:32:26Okay.
00:32:28More details.
00:32:29If your story
00:32:30helped me secure
00:32:31my place here,
00:32:32I'll save your pathetic lies.
00:32:35There was a birthday.
00:32:37I remember it clearly.
00:32:40My mom saved for weeks
00:32:42to buy me
00:32:42a small strawberry cake.
00:32:46Strawberry cake.
00:32:48I'll cry about it tomorrow.
00:32:51Here's the deal.
00:32:52You stay my maid
00:32:53and help me become you
00:32:55and you can stay close
00:32:57to your precious mommy.
00:32:59However,
00:33:00if you mess it up,
00:33:02I take out your mom first
00:33:04and then you.
00:33:06Nice talking to you, sis.
00:33:10This isn't over.
00:33:12I need to be patient
00:33:13and wait for the right time
00:33:15to strike.
00:33:22Good morning, Mom.
00:33:24Oh, good morning, sweetie.
00:33:26How did you sleep?
00:33:27So perfect.
00:33:28I feel so safe
00:33:29if you're here now.
00:33:33Mom, look.
00:33:34Do you remember
00:33:35one year for my birthday?
00:33:36You spent weeks saving up.
00:33:38Just so you can buy me
00:33:39a small strawberry cake.
00:33:41Ever since then,
00:33:42they're my favorite fruit.
00:33:44Every time I have them,
00:33:45I think of you.
00:33:48You like strawberries?
00:33:50Yep.
00:33:51But my daughter
00:33:52is severely allergic
00:33:53to strawberries.
00:33:55After she ate that cake,
00:33:56she broke out
00:33:57into terrible hives.
00:33:58That's how I knew
00:33:58she was allergic.
00:34:02Who exactly are you?
00:34:06What will you do now, Natalie?
00:34:11Of course I remember
00:34:12the allergy, Mom,
00:34:13but this morning
00:34:14I saw the cooks
00:34:15prepare strawberries
00:34:16for breakfast.
00:34:17I didn't want them
00:34:17to start over again,
00:34:18so I took some allergy medication.
00:34:20It's true,
00:34:22Madam President.
00:34:23Miss Natalie
00:34:24was only really
00:34:25thinking of you.
00:34:26She quietly
00:34:28asked us
00:34:28to give her her meds.
00:34:30She really didn't want
00:34:31anything to ruin
00:34:32her breakfast with you.
00:34:34Mom,
00:34:35how could you
00:34:36dump me?
00:34:37Was the DNA test
00:34:38not enough for you?
00:34:39You would believe
00:34:40a fuzzy memory.
00:34:41Look for scientific evidence
00:34:42that I'm your real daughter.
00:34:45Sweetheart, I...
00:34:46Fine.
00:34:46If you don't believe me,
00:34:47I'll just go back home
00:34:49to that horrible place.
00:34:50No, no, wait.
00:34:51I'm sorry.
00:34:51This is Mom's fault.
00:34:52Mama was wrong, okay?
00:34:53Please don't leave me.
00:34:54I don't want to lose her again,
00:34:55okay?
00:35:03Oh, my God.
00:35:05The President's
00:35:06kneeling to me?
00:35:09I've been in this job
00:35:10for too long.
00:35:10I'm surrounded
00:35:11by schemes
00:35:12and suspicion.
00:35:14I don't even know
00:35:15how to trust
00:35:15my own daughter.
00:35:16Mom,
00:35:17you love your daughter
00:35:18so deeply,
00:35:19you'd even throw away
00:35:20your dignity.
00:35:21Can't you see
00:35:22the girl in front of you
00:35:22is a total fraud?
00:35:24It's okay, Mom.
00:35:25I forgive you.
00:35:26I wouldn't go anywhere.
00:35:32Miss Natalie,
00:35:33you said you took
00:35:34allergy meds.
00:35:35May I know which one?
00:35:36I should document it
00:35:37for the doctors.
00:35:40Um...
00:35:43just the regular one.
00:35:45Valetin.
00:35:46Valetin?
00:35:47Ryan said you're
00:35:48absolutely forbidden
00:35:49from taking that.
00:35:50That's true.
00:35:51The fever
00:35:52caused permanent damage
00:35:53to her myocardium.
00:35:54Her heart can't handle
00:35:55Valetin.
00:35:55What?
00:35:56You need to call
00:35:57a doctor immediately.
00:35:58If she doesn't get treatment,
00:35:59she could go
00:35:59into fatal arrhythmia.
00:36:00Go,
00:36:01call the doctors now.
00:36:06I'm totally dead.
00:36:07I'm not allergic.
00:36:08I never took any meds
00:36:10and I have no idea
00:36:10what they're talking about.
00:36:12Oh,
00:36:12I'm screwed.
00:36:17Madam President,
00:36:18the medication
00:36:19could affect Natalie
00:36:20in ways we can't see.
00:36:21Perhaps we should let
00:36:22the doctors run
00:36:23a full examination
00:36:24to be safe?
00:36:25Yeah,
00:36:25and we should confirm
00:36:26if there's any other
00:36:27complications up there
00:36:28other than myocardial damage.
00:36:29Only then can she rest easy.
00:36:31Yeah,
00:36:31that's the best idea.
00:36:32Let's do a full examination.
00:36:34I just found my daughter.
00:36:35I don't want to miss you.
00:36:36A complete exam
00:36:37will prove I'm lying.
00:36:39No way.
00:36:40No.
00:36:40Mom,
00:36:41I'm so scared of doctors.
00:36:42I hate the smell
00:36:44of disinfectant.
00:36:45I don't need any tests.
00:36:46I'm fine,
00:36:47really.
00:36:47But Natalie,
00:36:48this concerns your life.
00:36:50Every second we delay
00:36:51could be dangerous
00:36:51for your health.
00:36:52This isn't up for debate.
00:36:53You need to listen to me.
00:36:55Kevin,
00:36:55please take Miss Natalie
00:36:56to the medical examination room.
00:37:01No!
00:37:08Oh,
00:37:09what do I do?
00:37:09What do I do?
00:37:15Mom,
00:37:16I'll throw stuff in here.
00:37:18I can't breathe.
00:37:19I think I'm having a panic attack.
00:37:21Can I please?
00:37:22Please,
00:37:22just go outside.
00:37:23Five minutes, please.
00:37:24Okay, sure.
00:37:25Yes,
00:37:25just for a minute.
00:37:26Kevin,
00:37:26will you go with her?
00:37:29Emma?
00:37:30You think you won?
00:37:32I'm just going to use the bathroom.
00:37:34Okay.
00:37:35I can't let her get out of this.
00:37:37This exam could prove she's lying.
00:37:41The restroom is just this way.
00:37:44Damn it!
00:37:45Emma?
00:37:48You have myocardial damage as well,
00:37:50don't you?
00:37:51Why don't you have the medical exam as well, huh?
00:37:54Mom,
00:37:55you're worried about me?
00:37:57Then why?
00:37:57Why can't you recognize your own daughter?
00:38:03I want to tell her the truth,
00:38:05but if I do it now,
00:38:06she won't believe me.
00:38:08This could be my chance to prove I'm her daughter.
00:38:11Thank you, Madam President.
00:38:16Ryan,
00:38:17could you please take this to the test center?
00:38:20Don't worry.
00:38:21No matter what the results tell us,
00:38:22we'll get you the best medical attention possible, okay?
00:38:27Are you feeling better, sweetie?
00:38:29Come on,
00:38:30let's start the exam.
00:38:34Try to relax
00:38:35while beginning with a basic heart and lung check.
00:38:38No, Mom,
00:38:39I'm so scared.
00:38:40Oh, sweetie,
00:38:41don't be scared.
00:38:42I'm going to be right here,
00:38:43okay?
00:38:44She's so stubborn.
00:38:46If I didn't need all this,
00:38:47I'd never play along.
00:38:49Doctor?
00:38:50Is that a spot on?
00:38:51Me?
00:38:53I don't feel so good.
00:38:55What is it?
00:38:56What's wrong?
00:38:59She's having an allergic reaction.
00:39:01Allergic?
00:39:02But that's impossible.
00:39:04She's not allergic to strawberries at all.
00:39:10The medicine,
00:39:12it must not have been strong enough.
00:39:13I could only afford the cheap ones.
00:39:21But I mean,
00:39:22they did save my heart,
00:39:24so we have that.
00:39:25Get a repinephrine now.
00:39:28I'm not going to go.
00:39:29I'm going to go for so much.
00:39:31You lost again,
00:39:34skank.
00:39:40You're lying.
00:39:41How did you do it?
00:39:42Tell me.
00:39:43Emma,
00:39:44stop!
00:39:44Help!
00:39:45What are you doing?
00:39:47I have shown you so much generosity,
00:39:49letting you stay near your sister,
00:39:50getting you medical attention,
00:39:52and this is how you repay me,
00:39:53by attacking my daughter?
00:39:54Hasn't she suffered enough?
00:39:56It's not true.
00:39:58Mom,
00:39:58she's acting.
00:39:59She's fooling you.
00:40:00Talk, Emma.
00:40:02Let's talk.
00:40:03Say something.
00:40:05Mom,
00:40:06please calm down.
00:40:07Mom,
00:40:08don't blame Emma.
00:40:09She's just hurting.
00:40:10I mean,
00:40:11we had the exact same backgrounds.
00:40:13We had high fevers.
00:40:14We lost our voices.
00:40:16It must be so difficult
00:40:17to have the short end of the stick.
00:40:19I mean,
00:40:19I have your daughter,
00:40:20and she's just a maid.
00:40:22Of course she's going to be jealous.
00:40:24It's all a natural.
00:40:25I'm not.
00:40:26Emma,
00:40:27I understand your emotions,
00:40:29but if you keep going after Natalie,
00:40:30I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:40:32I will not let anyone harm her.
00:40:33Do you understand?
00:40:35Mom,
00:40:35how could you protect this liar instead of me?
00:40:38Your real daughter.
00:40:39Mom,
00:40:40what matters most now
00:40:41is just confirming their health.
00:40:43Doctor,
00:40:43what do the reports say?
00:40:49Emma Hunter,
00:40:50your tests show chronic myocarditis,
00:40:52her cardiac function
00:40:54is significantly weakened.
00:40:56She must avoid emotional stress.
00:40:59Additionally,
00:41:00she has three old fractures
00:41:01on the left ribs,
00:41:03poorly healed,
00:41:04indicating she never received
00:41:06proper treatment,
00:41:07combined with severe malnutrition
00:41:09and exhaustion.
00:41:11Honestly,
00:41:12it's a miracle you've made it this far.
00:41:15I worked day and night
00:41:17to pay back your father's gambling debts.
00:41:19Because it's a strain
00:41:20of my heart condition,
00:41:21I almost died.
00:41:24So everything
00:41:25that poor girl said
00:41:26was true?
00:41:27That bitch!
00:41:28Using her pathetic life
00:41:30as a weapon?
00:41:31And what about
00:41:32Natalie's report?
00:41:34Mom,
00:41:34please don't look.
00:41:36I've always been so weak.
00:41:37Seeing that
00:41:38will only hurt your heart.
00:41:39You silly girl.
00:41:40It doesn't matter
00:41:41what the report says.
00:41:42You will always be my baby.
00:41:43I just need to know
00:41:45so I can get you
00:41:45the best medical attention
00:41:46possible, okay?
00:41:48I'm done for.
00:41:49I've never had a fever.
00:41:50I don't have myocarditis.
00:41:52One look
00:41:53and it will all be exposed.
00:41:56What the...
00:41:59it's over.
00:42:01Everything
00:42:02is over.
00:42:06What does it say?
00:42:08Madam President,
00:42:09the tests show
00:42:10Natalie does display
00:42:11tests of mild cardio damage.
00:42:14What?
00:42:14Oh my god.
00:42:16My years of drug use
00:42:18and smoking
00:42:18wrecked my heart
00:42:19and lungs?
00:42:20How lucky am I?
00:42:21Even the medical report
00:42:23favors me.
00:42:24Now what, Emma?
00:42:25My poor child.
00:42:26I failed to protect you.
00:42:31Give her the best medication possible.
00:42:32I want her to be
00:42:33fully recovered.
00:42:34The DNA test,
00:42:35the sudden allergy,
00:42:37and now myocardial damage.
00:42:39Everything that should expose her
00:42:40somehow only strengthens
00:42:41her relationship with mom.
00:42:43How?
00:42:46Is this a sign?
00:42:48Am I never meant
00:42:49to reunite with my mom?
00:42:57I don't buy Natalie's story
00:42:58for a second.
00:43:00There's no way
00:43:00all of this is a coincidence.
00:43:13You little liar!
00:43:16I should have known
00:43:16you were up to something.
00:43:18Too bad I found
00:43:19enough to cause the allergy.
00:43:20And that my smoking
00:43:21caused my lungs to fail.
00:43:23Or else you would have
00:43:24gotten away with it.
00:43:25So that's how
00:43:26she manipulated everything?
00:43:27You think you can push me back?
00:43:29As long as I can stay
00:43:31the first daughter
00:43:32of the United States,
00:43:33I will do anything!
00:43:36Don't push me, bitch.
00:43:38I can't say anything.
00:43:39No one will believe me.
00:43:40Not without proof.
00:43:42Mom isn't blind.
00:43:43If I can gather
00:43:44enough evidence
00:43:44then I can show her.
00:43:46I didn't mean it.
00:43:47My memory is so foggy
00:43:49after the fever.
00:43:50I must have forgotten
00:43:51my own allergy.
00:43:52Forgot?
00:43:54You forgot?
00:43:56Do you think
00:43:57I am stupid?
00:43:58You are just
00:43:59unwanted trash.
00:44:01A curse!
00:44:02If you wanted
00:44:03your mom to be happy
00:44:04you would leave.
00:44:08Look at you.
00:44:10You look like
00:44:10a pathetic little worm.
00:44:12No one will believe
00:44:13you're the first daughter.
00:44:15Now that I think about it
00:44:17you look a little bit
00:44:19too much like your mom.
00:44:22Let's change that.
00:44:26How about
00:44:27we melt
00:44:28that pretty
00:44:29little face
00:44:30right off?
00:44:37Natalie, you're insane.
00:44:39This is the White House.
00:44:41Natalie, you're insane.
00:44:43This is the White House.
00:44:44If you do this
00:44:45someone will investigate.
00:44:46Not if they don't
00:44:47find the body.
00:44:49And please.
00:44:58Are you in there?
00:45:00Are you in there?
00:45:04Baby?
00:45:05What happened?
00:45:09This...
00:45:11It was her!
00:45:12She's trying to hurt me!
00:45:16Emma, that's it.
00:45:17Natalie gave you
00:45:18another chance
00:45:19and this is how
00:45:19you treat her?
00:45:20Why do you
00:45:20insist on hurting
00:45:21my daughter?
00:45:26No, Madam President.
00:45:27It wasn't me.
00:45:28Natalie,
00:45:29she was the one who...
00:45:31It hurts so much.
00:45:32I'm scared.
00:45:34Pack your things.
00:45:35You're leaving
00:45:35the White House tonight.
00:45:37She's bleeding.
00:45:39Why do I feel
00:45:39so heartbroken
00:45:40when I see
00:45:41Emma get hurt?
00:45:42What happened
00:45:43to your head?
00:45:45Mom, forget about her.
00:45:47Look what she did
00:45:47to me.
00:45:48Can you please
00:45:49take me to the doctor?
00:45:50Ryan?
00:45:52Take Emma
00:45:53to have her head
00:45:53looked at.
00:45:55And...
00:45:55Until we find out
00:45:57exactly what happened,
00:45:58until we know
00:45:59what the truth is,
00:46:00Emma stays.
00:46:04Let me see.
00:46:05I can't believe this.
00:46:07I'm burned
00:46:08and still that old
00:46:09hag isn't buying it?
00:46:10What the hell
00:46:11is it going to take?
00:46:17She's on to me.
00:46:18I need to finish Emma
00:46:20before Maria
00:46:21realized the truth.
00:46:23Listen, loser.
00:46:25Just because
00:46:25Mom went soft on you,
00:46:27don't think you're good.
00:46:28Your little strawberry
00:46:29stunt almost blew my cover.
00:46:31It's going to cost you.
00:46:33What?
00:46:33What do you want?
00:46:35Just a little favor
00:46:36and all will be forgiven.
00:46:38Back alley of the school,
00:46:405 p.m.
00:46:41You'll meet someone
00:46:41who will hand you
00:46:43a little party gift.
00:46:44If you think
00:46:45I'm harsh now,
00:46:47you know how I get
00:46:48when I hit my withdrawal.
00:46:50No.
00:46:50I won't buy drugs for you.
00:46:52Oh, you...
00:46:53You won't?
00:46:54Remember when I
00:46:55stabbed you in the back
00:46:57with scissors
00:46:58or when I choked
00:47:00you in your sleeve?
00:47:02What happens
00:47:03if my withdrawal hits
00:47:04and your sweet little mommy
00:47:06is right next to me?
00:47:07The White House
00:47:08might be secure.
00:47:09But a loving daughter
00:47:10was finally reunited
00:47:12with her mom.
00:47:13They'll never suspect a thing.
00:47:155 p.m.
00:47:17Back alley.
00:47:18Don't be late.
00:47:38Oh my god.
00:47:40I actually broke the law.
00:47:42If I get caught,
00:47:43I'm screwed.
00:47:48Hey, nerd.
00:47:49Bring back our ball
00:47:51to our locker room
00:47:52for us,
00:47:53will ya?
00:47:57Just ignore them.
00:47:59They'll just get Natalie
00:48:00to retaliate.
00:48:01You dumbass.
00:48:03What's with the attitude?
00:48:04Who do you think
00:48:04you're giving that
00:48:05sourpuss look to?
00:48:06Don't touch her.
00:48:07Cassie,
00:48:08she reeks
00:48:08of cheap,
00:48:09bad energy.
00:48:15Let's see
00:48:16who saves you
00:48:17this time.
00:48:28Emma?
00:48:53Oh god.
00:48:55Oh god.
00:49:01Sorry, I didn't know
00:49:03someone was inside.
00:49:04I was just
00:49:05returning the ball.
00:49:17It's those cheerleaders.
00:49:19They're just
00:49:19messing with me again.
00:49:20and I'm sorry
00:49:21you got dragged
00:49:22into this.
00:49:24Dragged in?
00:49:27Pretty sure
00:49:28they're doing me
00:49:28a favor.
00:49:29What do you mean?
00:49:32Anyway,
00:49:33back to business.
00:49:35so tell me
00:49:36what really happened
00:49:37between you
00:49:38and Natalie
00:49:38yesterday.
00:49:40If I told you
00:49:41the truth,
00:49:43you wouldn't
00:49:44believe me.
00:49:46Emma,
00:49:47look at me.
00:49:48I'll always
00:49:49believe you.
00:49:50You can tell me.
00:49:54The truth is...
00:49:55Principal Cooper,
00:49:56I just saw someone
00:49:57bring drugs
00:49:58into the locker room.
00:49:59What?
00:49:59Dare to do drugs
00:50:00in my locker room?
00:50:03What do we do?
00:50:07Now,
00:50:07I'm gonna count
00:50:08to three.
00:50:09It was Emma.
00:50:10I saw her running
00:50:11in here frantically.
00:50:12She was carrying
00:50:13something very suspicious.
00:50:14It's definitely drugs.
00:50:15We all saw it.
00:50:16Drugs?
00:50:17She's been acting
00:50:17so weird lately.
00:50:19Must be the cravings
00:50:20kicking in.
00:50:20Emma,
00:50:21you're screwed.
00:50:23Once mom hears
00:50:24that you're doing
00:50:24drugs at school,
00:50:25she'll throw you
00:50:26out for good.
00:50:38Oh, God.
00:50:39What's Ryan doing?
00:50:54What the...
00:50:55Ryan Roosevelt?
00:50:57Principal Cooper,
00:50:59is there a problem?
00:51:00Me and my girlfriend,
00:51:01we were just enjoying
00:51:02a moment alone.
00:51:02Ryan?
00:51:04What the hell
00:51:05is he doing here?
00:51:06No,
00:51:06I can't mess with him.
00:51:08He's the president's
00:51:09adopted son.
00:51:10What if he says
00:51:10something to that bitch?
00:51:11Ryan,
00:51:12you're the captain
00:51:13of the team.
00:51:14You above all people
00:51:15know that the locker room
00:51:16is for training,
00:51:17not for making out.
00:51:20What a good example.
00:51:21You're right.
00:51:22My bad.
00:51:23We'll leave immediately.
00:51:24Can we get some privacy,
00:51:25please?
00:51:25My girlfriend.
00:51:26She's shy.
00:51:28Oh, no, no, no.
00:51:30No one is leaving.
00:51:32That's her.
00:51:33I saw her bring the drugs in.
00:51:34Ryan is just a pawn
00:51:36for her scheme.
00:51:37Natalie,
00:51:38drugs are a very
00:51:39serious accusation.
00:51:40Are you sure?
00:51:42I don't smell marijuana
00:51:44or any illegal substance
00:51:45for that matter.
00:51:46I stake my name on this.
00:51:48My girlfriend,
00:51:49she would never touch drugs.
00:51:50This seems something
00:51:51more up your alley, Natalie.
00:51:53Um,
00:51:54fine.
00:51:55You don't believe me?
00:51:56Check her bag.
00:51:57You have no authority
00:51:58to search her.
00:52:06Move!
00:52:12Is that the moon?
00:52:27A main costume?
00:52:30You two really are freaky, huh?
00:52:32Bringing your kinky uniforms
00:52:34to school.
00:52:35Who knew she was so spicy?
00:52:37She acts so innocent.
00:52:40Enough.
00:52:41This is her outfit
00:52:42for a part-time job
00:52:43I got her at the White House.
00:52:44You can confirm that,
00:52:45right, Natalie?
00:52:46No, I saw it.
00:52:48I saw it.
00:52:49I know I did.
00:52:50It has to be in here.
00:52:51What?
00:52:55Where is it?
00:52:56Where did you hide it?
00:53:00If Mom ever found out,
00:53:01she'd be so disappointed.
00:53:06Natalie!
00:53:07You're harassing a classmate
00:53:09and invading her privacy.
00:53:12You think you can yell at me?
00:53:15I am the president's daughter.
00:53:18You are just a lousy high school principal.
00:53:21One call for me
00:53:22and you're fired.
00:53:24She may be the president,
00:53:26but she's still your mother.
00:53:28Shall we call her
00:53:29and let her resolve this personally?
00:53:35I am...
00:53:37As this school's principal,
00:53:39Natalie,
00:53:40I hereby relieve you
00:53:41of your duties
00:53:42as cheerleading captain
00:53:43effective immediately.
00:53:45No, no, principal.
00:53:46Enough!
00:53:47Dismissed.
00:53:47Everyone, get out!
00:53:50Oh, you are so dead.
00:53:53I'm gonna...
00:53:57Are you okay?
00:54:00I...
00:54:01I should go.
00:54:03How about a review of that kiss?
00:54:07Hey, my basketball finals next week.
00:54:10You better come see me, okay?
00:54:14She's so cute.
00:54:23What is going on?
00:54:28Emma, you've really let us down.
00:54:41Emma Hunter,
00:54:42were you actually doing drugs?
00:54:44No, madam president, please.
00:54:46There's more to the video.
00:54:48I didn't do any drug deal.
00:54:50Don't lie to me.
00:54:51You were caught red-handed
00:54:52on this video.
00:54:53Why were you even speaking to that guy?
00:54:54He's a drug dealer.
00:54:57Natalie asked me to.
00:55:00Are you still gonna lie
00:55:01at this point
00:55:02and try to put the blame on me?
00:55:05Mom, I'm so sorry.
00:55:07I brought her into this house.
00:55:09I didn't know how far
00:55:10she would go to fed
00:55:11her drug fetish
00:55:12and then you're still
00:55:12trying to frame me.
00:55:15You were caught on video, Emma.
00:55:17What else is there to say?
00:55:18Look, I gave you a chance.
00:55:20I know that you were troubled,
00:55:21but this is the White House
00:55:22and I have a reputation to uphold.
00:55:24She thinks I'm troubled?
00:55:26Please, trust me.
00:55:27I can prove...
00:55:39I can't bear to look at her.
00:55:41Natalie, take care of this.
00:55:43Make sure she packs her things
00:55:44and leaves.
00:55:45I'll take care of it, Mom.
00:55:47Don't worry.
00:55:51You heard her.
00:55:53I'm in charge now.
00:55:54And this time,
00:55:55I'm not gonna leave
00:55:56any loose ends.
00:55:59You are a ticking time bomb.
00:56:02I'm gonna stash you somewhere.
00:56:04No one will find you.
00:56:10Please, trust me.
00:56:12I can prove...
00:56:13Emma, what is it about that child?
00:56:16I can't get her out of my head.
00:56:18Come in.
00:56:21Mom, I saw the Leica still on,
00:56:24so I heated up some work for you.
00:56:25It's great for sleeping.
00:56:27Is Emma gone?
00:56:28Are you still thinking about her?
00:56:30I worry about her, too,
00:56:31but she brought it on herself, Mom.
00:56:34The longer she would have stayed,
00:56:35the worse it would have gotten.
00:56:36And what would the press say?
00:56:38The president's maid got caught dealing?
00:56:40Don't think about her, okay?
00:56:42I mean, just drink this.
00:56:43Get some rest.
00:56:55Natalie, I'm severely allergic to milk.
00:56:57I can't even have a single drop.
00:57:00Are you trying to kill me?
00:57:08Damn it!
00:57:09Another trap?
00:57:10Is she serious?
00:57:14Mom, I'm so sorry.
00:57:17I...
00:57:17I can't believe I forgot.
00:57:19When you were little,
00:57:21you used to brew me herbal tea every night.
00:57:23First the strawberries,
00:57:24and now this.
00:57:25I just don't understand
00:57:26how some of your memories are so clear,
00:57:28and then some are so off.
00:57:31I didn't mean it.
00:57:32My memory is so foggy after the fever.
00:57:34I must have forgotten my own allergy.
00:57:37My memory is so spotted.
00:57:39After I woke up,
00:57:41the doctors thought I wasn't gonna make it.
00:57:43I've forgotten so many things.
00:57:46I've forgotten the name of the candy store,
00:57:49and the first amusement park you took me to.
00:57:52I've forgotten your scent when you helped me.
00:57:56I'm so sorry.
00:57:57I hope it's hurt you.
00:58:04Emma.
00:58:09I know I'm a bad daughter,
00:58:11but I promise I'll remember.
00:58:14Don't cry.
00:58:15It's my fault.
00:58:17I shouldn't have tested you.
00:58:19that the fever hurt you badly.
00:58:22So if you forget,
00:58:24you forget.
00:58:25It's okay.
00:58:26I will tell you all of those stories myself.
00:58:29Okay?
00:58:30I'm so sorry.
00:58:31Just please don't leave me.
00:58:34You're all I have.
00:58:36You're sweet girl.
00:58:38Why would I ever leave you?
00:58:41Close call.
00:58:43I need to squeeze more memories out of Emma,
00:58:45and fast.
00:58:46Why can't I fully believe her?
00:58:57Oh,
00:59:03did you have a nice little nap?
00:59:05It's time to get up and get to work.
00:59:10Water.
00:59:11I need water.
00:59:13Water?
00:59:14You need water?
00:59:15I'll get you water.
00:59:16If you trade me a memory.
00:59:19Besides milk,
00:59:20what is mom allergic to?
00:59:32Seems like you need a wake-up call.
00:59:48Let it!
00:59:49Talk!
00:59:51Tell me,
00:59:52what sweet little game did you and your mom play when you were little?
00:59:58Tell me or I'm going to crush your damn foot!
01:00:01Say it!
01:00:01Hide and seek.
01:00:04Okay.
01:00:04And when she was angry,
01:00:06how did she punish you?
01:00:08What?
01:00:10Tell me!
01:00:11I need to know everything if I'm going to be you.
01:00:14She would never punish me.
01:00:17She would never punish me.
01:00:18She just helped me.
01:00:22Fine!
01:00:23Who cares?
01:00:23I'm the one she loves now.
01:00:25You are just a pathetic little stand-in.
01:00:30Try not to die.
01:00:32I'm going to need you for later.
01:00:38The kick-off ceremony is scheduled to set.
01:00:41Did you hear?
01:00:43I'm going to enter with mom.
01:00:44And she's going to tell the whole world
01:00:47that I'm her only daughter.
01:00:59Night, night, sweet little sister.
01:01:04I won't die here.
01:01:06I can't let her win.
01:01:12Natalie, where's Emma?
01:01:14I've been searching for her for three days and her phone is off.
01:01:16Wow, he actually does care about her.
01:01:19How pathetic.
01:01:22Why so anxious?
01:01:24Didn't they tell you she got found out by mom
01:01:26for doing drugs and she got kicked out?
01:01:29What's that, big bro?
01:01:30You still obsessed with that new junkie?
01:01:33Listen, she is not a junkie.
01:01:36You were the last one to see her
01:01:37and mom said that you made sure that she was out.
01:01:39Too bad, Ryan.
01:01:40Even with her right behind that door,
01:01:42you'll never see her again.
01:01:44I'm mom's only daughter now.
01:01:46And now that I won't need to act scared of you anymore.
01:01:52Talk, Natalie.
01:01:53Tell me where you've taken her.
01:02:06Not my problem.
01:02:09She can go around wherever she wants.
01:02:11And you?
01:02:13Stop bothering me.
01:02:14You're not going anywhere
01:02:15until you tell me where you've taken her.
01:02:17Let go!
01:02:18You're not even a real son.
01:02:20You're just a foster loser.
01:02:23I am the president's real daughter.
01:02:26Ryan, I'm here.
01:02:36Emma.
01:02:36It's probably just a rat.
01:02:39I'll get someone to exterminate it later.
01:02:46I told you, Ryan.
01:02:48Emma got kicked out because she was using.
01:02:51If you're trying to look for her,
01:02:53go to the bad side of town.
01:02:58But you better hurry.
01:02:59She might overdose.
01:03:03Emma, if you're in there,
01:03:05we'll get you out.
01:03:06And we'll expose the truth
01:03:07before mother announces Natalie
01:03:09the kickoff ceremony.
01:03:13Good morning, mom.
01:03:15Good morning, brother.
01:03:16Good morning, sweetie.
01:03:17Mom, I can't wait for the kickoff ceremony.
01:03:19I'm going to wear this custom set.
01:03:21All the cameras are going to be on me.
01:03:27Oh, isn't someone feeling particularly sweet today?
01:03:34Mom, I can't wait.
01:03:35Finally, the whole world
01:03:37will know I'm your daughter.
01:03:38I've waited over a decade for this moment.
01:03:40Our first public appearance.
01:03:42So why does something feel off?
01:03:46Come on.
01:03:51Time for another test.
01:04:01Come on, come on, come on.
01:04:03Sample received money analysis.
01:04:06Results in 60 minutes.
01:04:10Let's look at the little girl hasn't died yet.
01:04:13Shame.
01:04:14That'd be too easy.
01:04:16Yeah, can you really believe
01:04:17someone would come save her?
01:04:18Pathetic.
01:04:19Good thing Natalie has us checking
01:04:21every day.
01:04:28I knew it.
01:04:29It was Natalie you kidnapped, Emma.
01:04:41Emma!
01:04:52Are you okay?
01:04:55Ryan, I knew you'd come for me.
01:04:58Those monsters, how could they do this to you?
01:05:00I need to take you to a doctor right now.
01:05:02No.
01:05:03We have to stop Natalie
01:05:04before the ceremony announcement.
01:05:14Roosevelt, hi.
01:05:16It's the moment we've all been waiting for
01:05:18in the annual homecoming game.
01:05:20Hey, where's Ryan?
01:05:22She's our shooting guard.
01:05:23We are honored to welcome
01:05:25a very special guest
01:05:26to speak at today's championship match.
01:05:28Please welcome
01:05:29the President of the United States,
01:05:31Maria Roosevelt.
01:05:37And now,
01:05:38President Roosevelt
01:05:39has a very important announcement to make.
01:05:43This is what you've been waiting for.
01:05:47This is it.
01:05:48My moment.
01:05:50After this,
01:05:50the whole world will know my name.
01:05:52Thank you for that welcome, Roosevelt High.
01:05:55I stand here today,
01:05:56not just as your president,
01:05:58but as a proud lover.
01:05:59As many of you know,
01:06:00I was recently reunited
01:06:01with my long-lost daughter.
01:06:03And she is a student
01:06:05right here
01:06:06at this very school.
01:06:09That silhouette
01:06:10looks like Emma.
01:06:12That's impossible.
01:06:13She can't be here.
01:06:14Everything okay, sweetie?
01:06:16Oh, everything's okay.
01:06:17Keep going.
01:06:17I want the world to know
01:06:19that I'm your daughter.
01:06:20It is my great honor
01:06:21to introduce to you
01:06:23my daughter.
01:06:26Is that...
01:06:28Emma?
01:06:31Madam President,
01:06:32Natalie is not your daughter.
01:06:34She's a vicious fraud.
01:06:42Emma, what are you saying?
01:06:44Emma,
01:06:45you know you're jealous of me,
01:06:46but you ruined such a critical event.
01:06:48How could you?
01:06:51She did this to me.
01:06:53She's been using me
01:06:54to feed her memories
01:06:55because I am your real daughter.
01:06:57She doesn't know
01:06:58what you're allergic to
01:06:59or what foods you love most.
01:07:02She doesn't know
01:07:03anything about you.
01:07:05That's because of the fever.
01:07:07My memories got ruined.
01:07:09She's clearly unstable.
01:07:11Just because we kicked her out,
01:07:12she wants revenge.
01:07:14Get Emma out of here.
01:07:15I can't take this right now.
01:07:16All right, Emma.
01:07:17Let's go.
01:07:19Mom,
01:07:20please trust me.
01:07:21The new DNA results
01:07:23are coming out any minute.
01:07:25You ordered another DNA test.
01:07:27Yes,
01:07:28and the results are in.
01:07:32This time,
01:07:33I took the samples myself.
01:07:35No tampering
01:07:36and no mistakes.
01:07:42Excuse me.
01:07:45If anyone still has any doubts,
01:07:47let the evidence speak for itself.
01:07:57This is the second DNA test,
01:07:59personally supervised by myself,
01:08:01with Dr. Rayner handling
01:08:02every step of the procedure.
01:08:03The samples were taken
01:08:04from Natalie Hunter's hair
01:08:05and the blood of the president.
01:08:09The sawpust got swapped.
01:08:11That doesn't prove
01:08:12that I'm not her daughter.
01:08:13Oh, really?
01:08:14Then how about this?
01:08:19You faked your strawberry allergy.
01:08:21You're allergic to strawberries, Natalie.
01:08:23You're allergic to nuts.
01:08:24And here,
01:08:25you forced Emma
01:08:26to meet with your dealer
01:08:27to buy drugs for you.
01:08:29Fake!
01:08:29This is all fake!
01:08:31It's clearly eye-generated!
01:08:37I knew it!
01:08:38Look!
01:08:39They're holding hands!
01:08:40They're clearly
01:08:41in all this together.
01:08:43Mom,
01:08:44look,
01:08:44she's so disgusting.
01:08:46She's clearly seduced your son,
01:08:48so he can turn on us.
01:08:50Not everyone
01:08:51is as filthy as you.
01:08:53Natalie,
01:08:53are you really going to
01:08:54keep being this unreasonable?
01:08:55You claim that you lost your voice
01:08:57because of the fever,
01:08:58yet the latest medical reports
01:08:59show that your vocal cords
01:09:00are absolutely fine.
01:09:02Also,
01:09:03how could you not remember
01:09:04your mother's milk allergy?
01:09:05Do you really expect us
01:09:06to believe that you lost your memory
01:09:07because of a fever?
01:09:09Do not sneer my name
01:09:10with those fake AI videos
01:09:12just so you can climb
01:09:13the social ladder?
01:09:14Enough,
01:09:15all of you.
01:09:16This was supposed to be
01:09:17a beautiful,
01:09:18emotional day,
01:09:18and now it's ruined.
01:09:20Let's finish this,
01:09:21this drama backstage.
01:09:23Mom.
01:09:26Natalie,
01:09:27what's wrong?
01:09:28Madam President,
01:09:29if you don't want anything
01:09:30to happen to her,
01:09:31you need to listen to me.
01:09:33Ryan,
01:09:34what did you do to my daughter?
01:09:35If you want her saved,
01:09:37you're going to have to hear me out.
01:09:39I have the antidote
01:09:40right here,
01:09:41but I'm not going to
01:09:42hand it over to you
01:09:43until you hear the truth.
01:09:44And if you refuse,
01:09:46I'm going to destroy it
01:09:47and she's going to die.
01:09:54Mom,
01:09:55please help me.
01:09:56Ryan,
01:09:56don't be an idiot.
01:09:57Give her the antidote.
01:09:58Please,
01:09:58trust me.
01:09:59I know you love your daughter
01:10:00and you can take these videos
01:10:02for verification at any point.
01:10:03Right now,
01:10:04I need you to think clearly
01:10:06the exact placement of the screen.
01:10:10Someone call the doctor now!
01:10:11Why would you do something like this?
01:10:13Even if she's not my daughter,
01:10:14you are not a killer.
01:10:16Call the doctor now!
01:10:21Her heart rate is unstable.
01:10:23She needs immediate intervention.
01:10:24I have to do something.
01:10:25Please save her.
01:10:28Madam President,
01:10:30her liver function is failing.
01:10:31This looks like a synthetic toxin.
01:10:34Please help!
01:10:36It hurts so bad.
01:10:38What toxin?
01:10:38Can we treat it?
01:10:39We can,
01:10:40but we will need to perform
01:10:41an emergency blood transfusion.
01:10:44The types have to match.
01:10:46Take my blood.
01:10:47Quickly!
01:10:48Shit!
01:10:49I'm not the blood type.
01:10:50If they really do do a transfer,
01:10:52I could really die.
01:10:53You can't use mama's blood.
01:10:55She's elderly.
01:10:56I mean,
01:10:58she's the president.
01:10:59Her blood is too valuable.
01:11:00Her help is a national...
01:11:05We don't have any time.
01:11:07Take my blood.
01:11:07Please take it now.
01:11:14No need to argue.
01:11:15Anyway,
01:11:16a biological mother
01:11:17cannot donate blood
01:11:18to her own child.
01:11:19And what do we do?
01:11:21Please save me.
01:11:23I can't breathe.
01:11:26The type AB negative
01:11:27is the rarest of them all.
01:11:29It will take hours
01:11:30to cover this much.
01:11:32But please help.
01:11:33I don't want to die.
01:11:34This toxin
01:11:35causes complete liver failure
01:11:36within 10 minutes.
01:11:37Without AB negative blood,
01:11:39she won't survive.
01:11:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:11:42I'm afraid
01:11:43there's nothing
01:11:44we can do to save her.
01:11:47Okay, okay, okay.
01:11:49I'm not AB negative.
01:11:50I know.
01:11:51I'm not the president's daughter.
01:11:52I admit it.
01:11:53Now, please,
01:11:54just give me the blood transfusion.
01:11:55I don't want to die.
01:11:57What did you just say?
01:12:03What did you just say?
01:12:05Give me the honor of it.
01:12:06I admit to everything, okay?
01:12:07I stole the necklace.
01:12:09I swapped the DNA test.
01:12:10I admit everything.
01:12:11Just give it to me.
01:12:12I don't want to die.
01:12:13What did you say?
01:12:15Say it again.
01:12:15Oh, shut up, idiots.
01:12:18Of course,
01:12:19I'm not your real daughter.
01:12:20I saw an opportunity
01:12:21and I took it.
01:12:22Are you happy now?
01:12:24Give me the antidote.
01:12:25Or give me the blood transfusion.
01:12:28Gotcha.
01:12:29Cute.
01:12:30Mom was on to you
01:12:31from the very start.
01:12:32We set up this entire situation,
01:12:34Chester.
01:12:35Hear you confess.
01:12:38You set me up.
01:12:39Did you really think
01:12:40you could fool the president?
01:12:42I might have been blinded
01:12:43by motherly love,
01:12:44but I would never be fooled
01:12:45by your cheap tricks.
01:12:46Oh, and by the way,
01:12:49it's a relaxative.
01:12:51What did she just say?
01:12:52Indeed.
01:12:53If you are with roots
01:12:54and electrolytes,
01:12:55we'll fix it.
01:12:57Good performance, old friend.
01:12:58You, you tricked me!
01:13:01Take her away.
01:13:02No, no, no, no.
01:13:04I curse you!
01:13:05This is not the last
01:13:06you'll think of me!
01:13:07you
01:13:07You, you, you, you, you, you, you.
01:13:07Oh, yes, you, you, you.
01:13:07Ooh, yes.
01:13:09Oh, boy.
01:13:09Hey, that's okay!
01:13:09I'll do it.
