00:07Inmate 0729.
00:09Theft.
00:10Fuck you.
00:11I didn't do nothing.
00:13Looks like we'll have to give you a lesson that you'll remember then.
00:18My favorite tie.
00:20The stubborn ones, huh?
00:30Yes, boss.
00:31You lucky bastard.
00:34Your family pulled some strings.
00:38You're out.
00:41Don't say a damn word about what happened in here.
00:44Once you're out, you talk, you die.
00:56Wait for your family here.
01:00Get it.
01:05Family.
01:08I don't have family.
01:10I was the real Ashford heir.
01:14Kidnapped and thrown into an orphanage when I was eight.
01:16And after that...
01:19Caleb took my place.
01:21And they found me when I was 18.
01:33I was stupid enough to believe I had a family who loves me.
01:37But they never wanted me.
01:39Not a single one of them.
01:40Five years ago they approved it.
01:42By sending me to prison.
01:46Ethan, we're here to take you home.
01:50Ethan Ashford.
01:51Guilty of attempted murder.
01:53Ten years in the state prison.
01:55Effective immediately.
01:57Mom.
01:58I don't want to go to prison.
01:59I didn't do it.
02:00I didn't poison Grandpa.
02:02It was Caleb.
02:02I saw him do it.
02:05Stop trying to pin this on Caleb.
02:07But I'm telling the truth.
02:10This is from the lawyer.
02:16All the evidence points to you.
02:19But this is faked.
02:20I swear, I'm telling the truth.
02:22I don't want to go to prison.
02:23Ethan.
02:23Please.
02:24Ethan.
02:25Just serve your time.
02:27I'll wait for you.
02:33No.
02:33No.
02:34No.
02:34No.
02:35Please.
02:35Please.
02:35No.
02:36I don't want to go to prison.
02:38Please.
02:41Ethan, why are you just standing there?
02:44Come on.
02:44Let's go.
02:45Home.
02:46I lost my family a long time ago.
02:50Thank you so much.
03:01Claire.
03:02Claire, you came.
03:03I knew you believed me.
03:06I do believe you, Ethan.
03:10But...
03:11Caleb's health is fragile.
03:14Even a cold could mess him up.
03:16He can't go to jail.
03:16He'll die here.
03:18But you grew up in an orphanage.
03:21You're stronger than him.
03:24You'll survive this.
03:25I know it.
03:27And when you get out, I promise you...
03:29I'll marry you.
03:37Ex-convicts don't deserve a welcoming party like this, huh?
03:41Ethan Ashford!
03:43We showed up out of kindness.
03:45And this is how you treat us?
03:47Kindness?
03:49Thank you, Miss Ashford.
03:52Mrs. Ashford.
03:55I didn't realize that, you know, felons deserve to go back home.
03:59Stop playing the victim.
04:01You poisoned Grandpa's milk.
04:03You put him in a coma.
04:09Therefore, I think he deserves every minute in that cell.
04:15Five years.
04:17And you still refuse to admit...
04:20If these guys didn't sign the release papers, you'd still be in there.
04:24You should be grateful.
04:25Grateful?
04:26Grateful because you all threw me in prison?
04:29Okay, look.
04:30We even prepared your favorite treat.
04:33Pecan pie, alright?
04:34Let's go home.
04:35I have enough allergies.
04:37Caleb.
04:38Pecan pie is Caleb's favorite, not mine.
04:44We were just trying to do something nice.
04:47Ethan!
04:52Claire's trying to help you.
04:53Stop acting like you're worse more than you are.
04:56Stop being so dramatic.
04:58She barely even touched you.
05:02Mom, forget it.
05:04If he can appreciate the favor...
05:08You can walk home.
05:18Grandpa's waiting for me.
05:28There you go.
05:29Caleb, special order from the Michelin chef.
05:32It's too good to me.
05:33And if you don't like it, don't worry.
05:34I'll have them remake it, okay?
05:37You got something there on your chin.
05:38I don't know.
05:38What?
05:40Madam.
05:41Miss.
05:42Ethan is back.
05:45Ethan.
05:47This isn't what it looks like.
05:49It's just...
05:50Caleb can't manage on his own.
05:52He's not mad.
05:52Right, brother?
05:55No, no.
06:00Enjoy your meal.
06:02Ethan, wait.
06:05Claire, don't bother.
06:07He didn't want to come home with us.
06:10So...
06:11Right.
06:12You saw how he was when we picked him up from prison.
06:14He's fine.
06:16You don't need to worry about him.
06:21Claire, I want more steak.
06:23Come on.
06:34They're the real family.
06:36And I'm just...
06:38an extra.
06:48Five years gone, Ethan.
06:50Do you really think there was a spot in this house for you still?
07:00Grandpa?
07:03Grandpa?
07:03Grandpa, I'm here.
07:04I'm sorry.
07:05I should have protected you.
07:07I...
07:07Miss me, brother?
07:15Caleb?
07:17Why are you here?
07:19To congratulate you.
07:21Early release.
07:23But you do have some nerve showing your face to Grandpa again.
07:28You know, he is the way he is because of you.
07:33Shut up.
07:34You know damn well I poisoned him.
07:52Strange.
07:54What was Caleb doing here?
08:13Grandpa!
08:14Grandpa!
08:14Somebody call 911!
08:16Daddy?
08:18Grandpa.
08:19Oh my God.
08:20You monster!
08:22Yeah.
08:24Why did you poison Danny?
08:26Oh yeah.
08:28I poisoned him.
08:30So what?
08:32I mean, they believe me.
08:34That's why they threw your ass in prison five years ago.
08:39Grandpa treated you like his own.
08:41How could you do that to him?
08:42Because the moment that you came back,
08:45that old bastard forgot that I existed.
08:49So I had to get rid of him.
08:53Shame.
08:54Now he's thrived.
08:55You think you'll get lucky next time when I do it to him again?
08:59This is not a piece of shit.
09:02What's going on in here?
09:10What's going on in here?
09:11Are you okay?
09:12Are you okay?
09:15Unbelievable.
09:17You get out of prison and the first thing you do is attack Caleb?
09:22No, no, no, no.
09:23He threw himself at me.
09:24Huh?
09:27We let you out early because Caleb begged for your mercy.
09:31And this is what you do to repay him?
09:33You're still the same selfish brat that you always were.
09:36Mom, you want me to thank him?
09:39Caleb, you're going to tell everybody right now what you just said to me.
09:53I deserve it.
09:56I have the life that you should have been living.
09:59It hit me.
10:00I deserve every single hit, Ethan, please.
10:02Caleb, stop.
10:04It's not your fault.
10:07If I leave the house, will you forgive me then, Ethan?
10:11Fine.
10:12Fine.
10:14I'll leave.
10:17I'll leave.
10:26He's making it up!
10:28We looked past the fact that you poisoned Grandpa.
10:32We signed for your early release.
10:34And you're still acting like the victim?
10:39All they care about is Caleb.
10:41Me?
10:42I'm just nothing.
10:56Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up.
10:58It broke my leg.
10:59Please, Mom, you gotta help me!
11:07Please!
11:11Ethan, stop lying.
11:13Stay there and learn your lesson.
11:14You're not getting bailed out.
11:15Mom, they're coming!
11:16Please, Mom, they're gonna kill me!
11:18Mom, please help me!
11:19Please, please!
11:22Mom, Caleb's hurt!
11:24Oh, my God.
11:25Mom, they're coming!
11:26Oh, my...
11:27Mom!
11:28I'm going to kill him!
11:29Help me.
11:36No!
11:37No!
11:38No!
11:39No!
11:40No!
11:40No!
11:40No!
11:40No!
11:41No, please!
11:43No, no, no!
11:46No!
11:48No!
11:48No!
11:49No!
11:49Don't leave me!
12:16What now, Ethan?
12:20Still looking for drama?
12:21Come on, baby, let's get you a doctor.
12:42Family is a-
12:48Ethan, you live here?
12:50This is a storage room.
12:55Yeah, well, I don't deserve anything more than a storage closet.
13:02Alright, pick any room you want.
13:08How about this one?
13:09Uh, no.
13:10No, that's Caleb's old playroom.
13:13All his memories are in there.
13:17Okay, uh...
13:19Then this one right here.
13:20Absolutely not.
13:21That's Caleb's study.
13:22He needs a quiet.
13:23And if he gets bad grades,
13:25you think you're worth that?
13:28You know what?
13:29You know what?
13:29Forget it.
13:29Henry, find him somewhere to sleep.
13:31Dismissed you.
13:33And don't touch Caleb's things.
13:43Oh, boy.
13:45I'm sorry.
13:47This is a-
13:48It's fine, Henry.
13:50Okay?
13:50I've been in smaller spaces.
13:53And the, uh...
13:56Orphanage wasn't much better.
13:59Well, you deserve a lot better.
14:01I can speak with Mr. Ashford.
14:03No, no, no, no.
14:05Okay, I don't want to worry Grandpa.
14:07And I definitely don't want to trouble the others.
14:18Your mom and sister just let that happen?
14:23Claire, please.
14:24What do you want?
14:25Ethan, I'm your fiancee.
14:29I care about you.
14:31I always have.
14:38Ethan, you've thinned out so much.
14:42It breaks my heart.
14:45This is all my fault.
14:47Maybe if I'd stop them,
14:48then you never would have had to go to jail.
14:50Claire, none of that's on you.
15:07Ethan, I am so sorry.
15:10I promise I'll never let you suffer again once we get married.
15:15Claire.
15:25Before that, um...
15:27Would you donate one of your legs to Caleb?
15:31Would you donate one of your legs to Caleb?
15:35What did you just say?
15:37You saw it yourself.
15:39Caleb's leg is necrotic.
15:40He'll never dance again.
15:41Caleb?
15:42But what about what I want?
15:43Ethan, listen.
15:45It's like transplants are advanced now.
15:47You don't need to worry about anything.
15:49Once you give Caleb your leg,
15:50then you and I will get married,
15:52and I'll take care of you forever.
15:55Oh, my God.
15:56You took me back home.
15:58You rushed me home just so that you could give my leg to Caleb.
16:01No, Ethan, listen.
16:04Caleb's a dancer.
16:06Dancing is his dream.
16:07If he loses his leg, he'll never dance again.
16:09I mean, you would lose one leg,
16:11but he would lose his entire dream.
16:13No, I got it, okay?
16:14His dream, yes.
16:15But it's just for one thing.
16:18I don't have a leg to give, Claire.
16:21What is that supposed to mean?
16:23Ethan, please.
16:24For me.
16:25Donate your leg to Caleb.
16:37Caleb, are you okay?
16:39The doctor said he needs a limb transplant ASAP.
16:42If we don't do it soon, he might never walk again.
16:46Hey, Claire.
16:49Don't push my brother.
16:50If I never dance again, I just gotta learn to live with it.
16:54Caleb, you're too kind.
16:57Ethan, Caleb's condition is getting worse.
16:59I'm begging you, please.
17:02Donate your leg to him.
17:04I'm fine.
17:05It is my fault anyways.
17:07I stole Ethan's position in this family years ago.
17:10How could I ask him to sacrifice a leg for me?
17:15Don't worry.
17:16I'll find a way to fix your leg, no matter what.
17:22Ethan, think you can say no?
17:24That leg?
17:26I'm taking it.
17:34I'm taking it.
17:39Caleb didn't want this one, so we figured that maybe we want to have it.
17:55Mom, Vivian, Claire.
17:58This is the first gift you gave me.
18:00I'll treasure it forever.
18:03Ethan, you idiot.
18:04You stupid, pathetic idiot.
18:15Ethan, I got into a car accident.
18:17I'm at St. Martin Hospital.
18:18I'm scared.
18:19Can you come?
18:20Claire, don't move, okay?
18:21I'm gonna be right there.
18:23Why is mom calling?
18:25She only calls when there's trouble.
18:28Claire's my priority.
18:30Claire!
18:32Claire, are you okay?
18:34Why did you ignore my phone calls, huh?
18:39If Caleb's treatment gets delayed because of you, I'm sending you back to prison.
18:47Claire, you lied to me?
18:49Ethan, Caleb's situation got worse.
18:51He needs a transplant now, so...
18:54So what?
18:55Claire, you lied, so I would come...
18:57Caleb!
18:57You want my leg?
18:59Not a chance.
19:00You ungrateful brat!
19:02Caleb is your brother!
19:03How would you not want to give a leg to him?
19:05We are family!
19:07Does one leg really mean more to you than blood?
19:09Family?
19:10Guys, when did you ever treat me like family?
19:13I mean, suddenly Caleb needs help, and then I matter?
19:17Vivian, you don't think that's a little bit ridiculous?
19:20Mom!
19:23Vivian!
19:24My legs!
19:24Help!
19:25Help me!
19:26Please, Claire!
19:26Help me!
19:28Ethan, please!
19:29If we don't do this now, he's gonna lose his leg forever!
19:32Claire, all you care about right now...
19:35is Caleb's leg.
19:37But what about me?
19:38You want me crawling around for the rest of my life?
19:40Caleb's legs are for dancing,
19:42and yours are just for...
19:44getting around, so...
19:45Don't pretend they're the same.
19:46Yes!
19:47You could still walk with the prosthetic.
19:49But if Caleb loses his leg, then...
19:52his future is gone.
19:54Can't you sacrifice for him?
19:56Sacrifice?
19:57I'm worth nothing compared to Caleb to you all.
19:59You all...
20:01haven't...
20:02once...
20:03asked me what I wanted,
20:04but I'm gonna tell you right now...
20:06I'm not giving...
20:07Caleb...
20:08my leg!
20:09Not today!
20:10Not ever!
20:11Get here!
20:14Whoa, hey!
20:15Hey, what are you doing?
20:18Ow!
20:22Get off me!
20:24I told you, Ethan,
20:26one way...
20:26or another...
20:27that leg is mine!
20:29You...
20:31ungrateful bastard!
20:32You are having that surgery today,
20:34whether you want to or not.
20:36I am getting that leg!
20:39Stop!
20:42Stop!
20:46Let go of my grandson!
20:48Let go of my grandson!
20:49My poor boy!
20:51Let Grandma see.
20:52Hey, Grandma.
20:53Okay, and I promise...
20:55I never did anything to hurt Grandpa.
20:57I've always believed you.
21:00I should've come sooner to stop them.
21:04As long as I'm alive,
21:05none of you touches my grandson again!
21:08Grandma!
21:08Ethan is a liar!
21:10You can't believe him!
21:11Mom, Vivian's right.
21:13I know exactly who Ethan is.
21:16Caleb's sitting there, dying!
21:17All he needs is a leg,
21:18and Ethan is so fucking selfish,
21:21you won't give him a leg!
21:23Grandma, Caleb's adopted,
21:25but he's still your grandson!
21:27You can't keep choosing Ethan over him!
21:29It seems like you're the ones taking favorites.
21:33All you care is about Caleb's leg!
21:35Never mind ruining, destroying,
21:37eating Ethan's life to do it!
21:40I'm not letting you lay a finger on him!
21:43Damn old witch!
21:44Why don't you have to show up now,
21:45and ruin everything?
21:47Ow!
21:50Ms. Ashford, Ms. Ashford,
21:52Caleb's condition is worsening.
21:53We need to move on this quickly.
21:55Mom, Vivian and Claire,
21:57I'm so scared,
21:58I don't want to lose my leg!
22:00I don't care what happens.
22:02That leg is coming off you
22:04and going onto Caleb.
22:05Mom's right.
22:06Ethan will donate that leg,
22:09like it or not.
22:10Ethan,
22:11please donate your leg to Caleb.
22:12I'll take care of you afterwards,
22:13I promise.
22:16We need him as quickly to save his leg.
22:18I can't.
22:19I can't lose my legs.
22:20If I can't dance anymore,
22:22I'd rather die.
22:24No, Caleb!
22:25Stop!
22:26Guard!
22:26Take Grandma out,
22:29and strap Ethan down.
22:31We're not doing that transplant.
22:33You wouldn't dare!
22:35Grandma!
22:36Ethan!
22:37Run!
22:37Run now!
22:38Grandma!
22:39Mom!
22:42Ahh!
22:44Ahhh!
22:50Umm!
23:09Uhh!
23:09What poor boy do monsters want from him?
23:14Grandma, are you hurt?
23:18It's okay, Grandma.
23:20None of it matters.
23:21I never cared about my leg.
23:27Ethan, your leg.
23:30How did this happen?
23:33Now?
23:35Now you care.
23:38After all my time in prison.
23:40You lost your leg in prison?
23:42Why didn't you tell any of us?
23:44I did!
23:46Do you have any idea how many times that I called?
23:48How many times that I prayed that somebody,
23:51somebody from this family would come and save me?
23:55But no.
23:57That was a foolish thought.
23:59Because in your eyes,
24:00the only thing that you've ever cared about
24:03was Caleb.
24:06Ethan,
24:08if we had known...
24:13This is all my fault.
24:14If I had just defended you,
24:16then he never would have gone to prison in the first place.
24:20Now you regret it?
24:21What's the point?
24:21I'm already ruined.
24:24It's all too late.
24:27Fine.
24:28We made mistakes.
24:31Because the innocent act.
24:33All of this is because of you.
24:38Had you not poisoned Grandpa
24:40and sent him into a coma,
24:42we wouldn't have had to send you to prison.
24:44So everything happening is all your fault.
24:50It's all my fault.
24:52I should have left the moment that Ethan came home.
24:55I shouldn't have believed that Mom or Claire loved me.
25:00If I die,
25:02if I die,
25:02maybe,
25:03maybe then he'll finally forgive me.
25:05Caleb,
25:05don't say that.
25:06We'll make sure you dance again,
25:07okay?
25:11Dad,
25:13Ethan only has one good leg.
25:16You know,

25:22Margaret,

25:25He's already lost one leg
25:27and you still want to carve off the other?
25:30Mom,
25:30Ethan's been home for this whole entire time
25:32and none of us ever noticed
25:33there was anything wrong with his legs.
25:36Caleb's a dancer.
25:37Okay?

26:02and I'll take care of you
26:03for the rest of your life,
26:04okay?
26:04Who the hell says you get to take care of him?
26:07You're not laying a finger on him.
26:10Let him go!
26:15Hey,
26:16Grandma!
26:20Grandma!
26:22Fine,
26:23you guys all want my fucking leg?

26:33Yeah!
26:37Take it!
26:52Ethan,
26:53your leg!
26:54Are you happy?
26:59Ethan,
27:01what happened to your leg?
27:04You really don't know?
27:06Five years I spent in prison,
27:09treated like a dog.
27:12If I ever resisted,
27:15if I ever snapped my legs.
27:17Ah!
27:20Ah!
27:21Ah!
27:22Ah!
27:23Five years begging
27:24that somebody,
27:26somebody in this family
27:27would save me,
27:28but
27:30did any of you care
27:31that I was rotting in prison?
27:34Ethan,
27:35why didn't you tell us?
27:36We wouldn't have pushed
27:37for you to donate your leg
27:38to Caleb had we known.
27:40Yeah,
27:40Vivian's right.
27:41Okay,
27:42the only reason this happened
27:43is because Caleb's situation
27:45is so serious.
27:46I mean,
27:47none of this would have happened.
27:48We,
27:48we didn't...
27:49please just cut the crap,
27:50okay?
27:52You took me out of prison
27:53for one reason
27:54and one reason only,
27:56my leg.
27:57So please,
27:58just tell everybody the truth.
27:59If you didn't know
28:00I didn't have any legs,
28:01then you never would have
28:02pulled me out of prison.
28:05Ethan,
28:05you misunderstood.
28:07You and Caleb
28:08both matter to us.
28:10Really?
28:11So,
28:12if I was in Caleb's shoes,
28:13then,
28:14then you'd treat me this...
28:15Sir,
28:15and Claire,
28:16enough.
28:17If Ethan wants to paint us
28:18as the villains,
28:19so be it.
28:20We need to focus
28:21on getting him a leg.
28:24You're all worrying
28:25about Caleb's leg.
28:27Who's worrying about Ethan?
28:29He's the real Ashford.
28:32Mother,
28:32he's been back from prison
28:33this whole time
28:34and none of us ever noticed
28:35he had a problem
28:36with his legs.
28:37He'll be fine.
28:39Caleb's a dancer,
28:41okay?
28:41He needs his legs.
28:43Ethan will be fine.
28:44We'll take care of him.
28:44My own mother
28:46and my own sister,
28:47they cray harder
28:49over a foster kid's
28:50scratched knee
28:50than their real son
28:51losing both his damn legs.
28:53You guys all call me heartless
28:55when the real devil
28:56is right there!
28:58He's just lying in the bed
29:00and you guys are babying him.
29:02I don't understand
29:04the words you're saying
29:05right now.
29:06Grandpa treated me
29:07like his own.
29:08Why would I ever
29:08want to hurt him?
29:10Ethan,
29:11Caleb grew up
29:12in our family
29:12and Grandpa adored him.
29:14He had no reason
29:15to hurt Grandpa.
29:16Wait,
29:16but when I was in prison
29:17you said that you believed me.
29:19I do believe you,
29:20Ethan.
29:22Why are you defending him now?
29:26Why do you think
29:26she's saying that?
29:27She's trying to be kind.
29:29She's trying to comfort you.
29:31Ethan,
29:32I said I believed you
29:33because you were hurting.
29:34But you were the one...
29:41You want me to help you
29:42frame Caleb?
29:44So you think
29:45I'm framing Caleb?
29:46As long as that old man
29:48stays in a coma,
29:49the blame sticks to you
29:51forever.
29:53Mr. Ashford,
29:56your grandson
29:57has suffered so much.
29:59When will you wake
30:00to defend him again?
30:16Henry.
30:18Ethan,
30:18what happened to Grandpa
30:20was five years ago.
30:21When are you going to stop
30:22blaming Caleb for everything?
30:24Stop twisting things.
30:26He didn't do anything wrong.
30:29He's your brother.
30:30I'm not twisting things.
30:32And when are you going to
30:33stop blindly worshipping him
30:35and forgetting the difference
30:36between right and wrong?
30:38Caleb grew up
30:39under our house
30:40kind and polished.
30:43But you?
30:44You crawled
30:45out of an orphanage
30:46with nothing.
30:48How dare you
30:49put yourself on par
30:50with Caleb?
30:51You're the reason
30:52that I was even
30:54in the orphanage.
30:56You failed me
30:57as a mother.
30:58I tried to
31:00Let's do it again.
31:00Let's do it again.
