Short filmTranscript
00:00:15From the very first day, the lines were drawn.
00:00:19Wesley Anderson, the undiscuted king of campus, every gross fantasy.
00:00:26And me? Laurie Nielsen? Invisible. Or worse, planet.
00:00:34What is that on her face?
00:00:40If it isn't our celebrity, red-faced Laurie.
00:00:45Well, what's this big show about?
00:00:47Probably to get Wesley's attention.
00:00:49Wesley would never give you a glance in his entire life.
00:00:54Wake up. Someone like you shouldn't even breathe the same air as them.
00:00:58Oh, shut up, Ashley. You know, you're sucked me up, please. Let's just go.
00:01:03Toodles.
00:01:08Don't listen to those harpies.
00:01:11Who says you don't have a shot? Three days.
00:01:14Okay, your shot comes in three days.
00:01:20Jen, this is ridiculous. There's like a million girls out there. I can't kiss all of them.
00:01:24Think of the children that need our help, Wesley. It's for children.
00:01:28Fine. But my lips are awesome. This is my final cover.
00:01:31Ugh. Fine. Cheek. It is.
00:01:34Next.
00:01:47God, it's my turn.
00:02:03Hey, are you okay?
00:02:04Oh, my God. Did you try to worship at his feet? Pathetic.
00:02:09Really? Lori? Did you think that falling in front of him was going to be your big chance?
00:02:22What the hell?
00:02:27From that day, I felt that Lady Luck had finally smiled on me.
00:02:35Mostly, I know him, but I guess I...
00:02:42Cut it out, okay? I can be your boyfriend. You can't tell anybody. Nobody can laugh.
00:02:47I thought that I was the luckiest girl alive. Until that day.
00:02:58He's gonna love this sports watch.
00:03:01Bro, are you seriously in love with the red-faced Lori?
00:03:04I mean, even though you, you know, lost the bet, it's been so long now.
00:03:09And we're about to graduate. Are you really gonna stick it with her?
00:03:14Of course not. Of course not.
00:03:22I'm gonna dump her after we graduate.
00:03:24Paris is way in, brother.
00:03:28So that's how my pathetic story ends.
00:03:33We never saw each other again after that.

00:11:25Are you looking to get fired, you idiot?
00:11:31Hey, are you okay?
00:11:34Wesley, please, let me handle this for you.
00:11:37Why did she give me such a similar billing to lawyer?
00:11:41I have to.
00:11:54Why does he always see me at my worst?
00:11:58Forget it.
00:12:00After tonight, you'll never have to see him again.
00:12:08Could it really be her?
00:12:10After all these years?
00:12:12I'm a dumper after graduation.
00:12:14Bears is way in.
00:12:28Shit!
00:12:32He obviously has the mostof.
00:12:33The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:37The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:49I must be losing my mind.
00:12:51She can't possibly be her.
00:13:10Whoa.
00:13:13What are you doing, Mr.
00:13:14Who are you?
00:13:16What?
00:13:17What is your name?
00:13:20Carol.
00:13:23Have we met before?
00:13:26Um, yeah.
00:13:29At your office?
00:13:30No.
00:13:31Before that.
00:13:33No.
00:13:35How would a nobody like me ever meet someone like you?
00:13:47Look, Mr. Anderson, about your suit.
00:13:49I'm really, really sorry.
00:13:51And I'll pay for it.
00:13:53She's not Lori.
00:13:55What was I expecting?
00:13:58I'm sorry.
00:13:59What?
00:14:01For stopping you and scaring you.
00:14:04So much like...
00:14:09Never mind.
00:14:11Why don't you allow me to drive you home?
00:14:15No.
00:14:17I'll manage.
00:14:21What, on that ankle?
00:14:23I don't think so.
00:14:25Plus, you think you're going to ruin a $5,000 suit and just walk away?
00:14:28Okay?
00:14:29Consider your apology and mine.
00:14:32Let me drive you home.
00:14:48Leslie is lying!
00:14:50No one can take him from me.
00:14:52You're so dead, bitch.
00:15:00Seven years.
00:15:01No trace.
00:15:05Did something...
00:15:06Happen to you?
00:15:12Hey, Lucas.
00:15:13Hey, look.
00:15:14I know you built up a network over the years.
00:15:16I need you to find out everything that happened to Lord Nielsen after graduation.
00:15:20Yeah, everything.
00:15:21Alright, thanks, man.
00:15:26The final shortlist for the executive assistant position, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:33Even same last name.
00:15:36I want her.
00:15:46Hello?
00:15:46Ms. Nielsen, this is Anderson Corporation, HR.
00:15:51Congratulations.
00:15:52You've been selected for the executive assistant position to Mr. Anderson himself.
00:15:57Work for him.
00:15:58After everything that happened, I can't.
00:16:06Lord.
00:16:08Did you not get my text?
00:16:10I told you not to come.
00:16:11It's pouring out.
00:16:12It was late.
00:16:13I didn't want to miss it.
00:16:16I don't know.
00:17:06I don't know.
00:17:10No, he has no idea.
00:17:12Miss Nielsen, the father has a right to know.
00:17:16I think you should tell him.
00:17:29Hello?
00:17:31Wesley's phone.
00:17:33I should have known better than to hope.
00:17:36I won't humiliate myself again.
00:17:50Smith.
00:17:50What an honor.
00:18:04Hey there.
00:18:05Sweetheart.
00:18:06Nice ass.
00:18:12I want her here tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp.
00:18:16Uh, um, I'm afraid that won't be impossible.
00:18:20Why not?
00:18:22She, uh, she declined the offer.
00:18:30Someone actually said no to me.
00:18:32Oh, this is priceless.
00:18:35Her reason?
00:18:37She didn't give a full reason, sir, but she did say.
00:18:43What?
00:18:44She said she'd be an assistant for anyone, just not for you.
00:18:52Oh, my.
00:18:54I need to meet her.
00:19:01Oh.
00:19:05You better back off right now or I will call the cops.
00:19:08Don't be like that, sweetheart.
00:19:10I just want to have some fun.
00:19:15Who's this?
00:19:15Your husband?
00:19:17Actually, that is my husband and he's on his way right now.
00:19:20Kara, are you okay?
00:19:24Let go of me.
00:19:26Kara, where are you?
00:19:33Get off of me.
00:19:34Save the resistance for the bedroom.
00:19:36Fuck off!
00:19:42What's going on here?
00:19:44They're harassing me.
00:19:49Is this how our staff treat our customers?
00:19:54Apologize.
00:19:55What?
00:19:56No, no way.
00:19:57Listen, Miss Smith owns this place.
00:20:00So if she says you're wrong, you apologize.
00:20:03Or you could lose your job.
00:20:06And that surgery might have you a little cracked.
00:20:13I'm sorry.
00:20:15I don't think that was nearly enough.
00:20:18I did what you asked.
00:20:37Let me help you get dry, baby.
00:20:43Die, bitch!
00:20:53Get the fuck out!
00:21:01This is unacceptable.
00:21:02We must tighten security.
00:21:04I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:21:05You can leave, too.
00:21:08Oh, my God.
00:21:09Um, thank you, Mr. Morrison.
00:21:13What are you doing here?
00:21:15You said your husband was on his way, so...
00:21:18Uh, I don't know.
00:21:19Um, I didn't know that you were the one who was calling.
00:21:24I was just trying to scare them.
00:21:26Where is this husband of yours?
00:21:27Does he always let you handle situations like this alone?
00:21:31He's working abroad.
00:21:37Oh, my God.
00:21:38Your arm.
00:21:39Wait, uh, don't look.
00:21:41You'll get crazy if you see that.
00:21:48Oh!
00:21:49Oh!
00:21:50Oh!
00:21:50Really?
00:21:53Don't look.
00:21:54If the mighty Wesley Anderson faints because of a little blood,
00:21:57then everyone's going to know your secret.
00:22:04What are you doing?
00:22:05How did you know I got scimmies and bubbling?
00:22:07Nobody else would cover my eyes on you.
00:22:11Is it you, Thor?
00:22:18Uh-huh.
00:22:20I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:22My son, he gets dizzy when he sees blood, so...
00:22:27Because it's just a force of habit.
00:22:31Why did you refuse the job?
00:22:33I'd be an assistant for anybody except him.
00:22:36Why?
00:22:37Uh, that.
00:22:39Um...
00:22:39Oh!
00:22:44Carol, you need to come home now!
00:22:46Cody collapsed!
00:22:47I'll be right there.
00:22:48I'll be right there.
00:22:52This is urgent.
00:22:53We've already prioritized him to the highest level.
00:22:55Prep him for surgery.
00:22:56Immediately.
00:22:57We do have a donor heart that matched him,
00:22:59but our lead surgical team's currently in another procedure.
00:23:02We're critically short-staffed.
00:23:04Well, there must be someone else.
00:23:05Please.
00:23:06Get the best cardiac team in here right now.
00:23:07I'll pay for all the expenses.
00:23:09Yes, Mr. Anderson.
00:23:10Right away.
00:23:18The surgery was a success.
00:23:21Thank you so much.
00:23:26Mr. Anderson, I don't even know how to put into words how grateful I am.
00:23:31My office.
00:23:32Tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock.
00:23:36Don't be late.
00:23:42All right, you will manage Mr. Anderson's entire schedule.
00:23:48Emails, meetings, evening his lunch.
00:23:51She gets to be that close to Mr. Anderson all day.
00:23:54Just look at that face all day.
00:23:56Lucky.
00:24:01Familiarize yourself with our current schedule.
00:24:03And this week's agenda.
00:24:05Of course, Mr. Anderson.
00:24:13She's working for him?
00:24:16That social farming bitch.
00:24:21Get her out.
00:24:25I don't care how.
00:24:27Carol, make it look like she messed up.
00:24:33Carol, hi.
00:24:35Mr. Anderson needs a spyla at home tonight.
00:24:38Just place it on his home office desk.
00:24:40Okay.
00:24:41Of course.
00:24:45Mr. Anderson never lets anyone in his study.
00:24:49Tomorrow, she'll definitely get fired.
00:25:16Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:25:18I was just dropping this off.
00:25:20I had no idea that you were at home.
00:25:21I...
00:25:22I...
00:25:23Wesley?
00:25:24Are you ready for our date?
00:25:27God, not her again.
00:25:29Oh!
00:25:32Are you...
00:25:33Shh!
00:25:34Wesley, are you here?
00:25:45What the hell?
00:25:47What are you...
00:25:49It is that you see it.
00:25:51See yourself out.
00:26:00Okay, she's gone, so your little performance can be over.
00:26:04Get off of me, baby.
00:26:06Mr. Anderson, I'm your assistant.
00:26:09Next time you want to scare off a date, hire someone else.
00:26:11I'm not your prop, okay?
00:26:13Carol, look, it's not like that.
00:26:14It was just...
00:26:34What do you think you're doing?
00:26:39What do you think you're doing?
00:26:41I was just putting the files on.
00:26:43Who said you can be in here?
00:26:45Ashley told me to...
00:26:47Enough!
00:26:51I am sorry.
00:26:52Mr. Anderson, it will not happen again.
00:26:59Did you just take a photo of me?
00:27:03Sorry.
00:27:05I know that we're a secret.
00:27:07I wasn't going to show anyone.
00:27:11You don't have to stop mama's, Lori.
00:27:21Carol, look, I...
00:27:41Hey, I tracked down some information about Lori.
00:27:43She was in a terrible car accident,
00:27:45and I heard she was severely injured trying to save her child.
00:27:48A car accident.
00:27:50When?
00:27:51Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:52She has a child.
00:27:54Where are they?
00:27:57Where are they?
00:27:58I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:27:59She dropped off the grid after that.
00:28:01She just vanished.
00:28:03No, I need you to keep looking.
00:28:05Find her whatever it takes.
00:28:12Carol?
00:28:13My office, please.
00:28:19What?
00:28:20She didn't get fired?
00:28:28Carol, listen.
00:28:29About last night...
00:28:32Wesley!
00:28:33Who the hell was that woman at your house last night?
00:28:35Uh, mom, right now's not the best time.
00:28:37Are you seeing someone?
00:28:39Who is she?
00:28:40Who was that woman?
00:28:41Who is she?
00:28:44Right behind you.
00:28:51Uh...
00:28:52No, it's not like that.
00:28:54I'm his assistant.
00:28:55I'm married.
00:28:57I was dropping off a file, that's...
00:28:59Oh.
00:29:00If you heard her, she's my assistant.
00:29:03You can go now, assistant.
00:29:10Wes, don't tell me you're still hung up on the ex-girlfriend from college.
00:29:14The ex-girlfriend.
00:29:14Are you?
00:29:16The ex-girlfriend.
00:29:19Could that mean me?
00:29:21Carol?
00:29:23Um, a moment, please.
00:29:30Actually, mom, yes, I am.
00:29:31There's no other woman besides Lori.
00:29:33Ugh, you're insane.
00:29:35She's been gone, vanished for years.
00:29:36Look, I don't care.
00:29:37I will find her no matter what it takes.
00:29:39You...
00:29:40Mom, look at me.
00:29:41I'm gonna be late for a doctor's appointment.
00:29:43We need to go.
00:29:45I'm not finished.
00:29:46I'm late.
00:29:47Mom, please.
00:29:49We'll continue this.
00:29:58Ugh, with this attitude, I may never get a grandchild.
00:30:00Oh, God knows how much I really want one.
00:30:04Oh, God.
00:30:07Baby, ma'am, you dropped this.
00:30:09Oh, my goodness.
00:30:11This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:16This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:19He had one girlfriend at university, didn't he?
00:30:21I mean, could this boy be their child?
00:30:24Mom, please.
00:30:25There's no way.
00:30:27Wesley would never help with her.
00:30:29There you are.
00:30:30Come on, let's go back to the board.
00:30:35No, these figures are unacceptable.
00:30:48Okay, who eats fries with yogurt?
00:30:50That's disgusting.
00:30:51It's delicious.
00:30:52My secret recipe.
00:30:54Try it.
00:30:55Why did you use yogurt?
00:31:02Yeah, sorry.
00:31:02They were out of ketchup.
00:31:05So, I used yogurt, but if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:31:12So, I used yogurt, but if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:31:16No, it's fine.
00:31:21Sir, could I leave work early today?
00:31:24My son is getting discharged from the hospital.
00:31:27Sure.
00:31:28I'll drive you.
00:31:37Mom, I forgot my teddy bear in the room.
00:31:39That's okay.
00:31:40I'll go back and get it.
00:31:41Okay.
00:31:42Stay right here.
00:31:44Okay.
00:31:46Wesley, I wish you were my dad.
00:31:48Why do you say that?
00:31:49I like you, and you look very much like him.
00:31:51My dad.
00:31:52Want to see a photo?
00:31:53I can show you.
00:31:54Oh, um, sure.
00:32:04I...
00:32:07Don't tell my mom.
00:32:13She said I'd rather like to talk about my dad with anyone.
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:18Yay!
00:32:21Everything okay?
00:32:23What were we talking about?
00:32:25I was just inviting Uncle Wesley to dinner tonight.
00:32:29Honey, Mr. Anderson is a very busy man, and I'm sure he has pets tonight.
00:32:34Not tonight.
00:32:37Yay!
00:32:42I found a picture.
00:32:44Mom hides it.
00:32:48Mom moved it again.
00:32:50It's okay.
00:32:51We can try again another time.
00:32:53Shh.
00:33:11Graduation mug.
00:33:12Come on.
00:33:12It's so cheesy.
00:33:14Please?
00:33:15All right.
00:33:16Fine.
00:33:17Fine.
00:33:17You can get whatever you want.
00:33:22Okay.
00:33:22Dinner's ready.
00:33:24Cody, go wash your hands.
00:33:32Who are you, really?
00:33:35Why are you always asking me this question?
00:33:38I'm Carol.
00:33:40Hmm.
00:33:41But why do you have this mug?
00:33:43Because I graduated from that school.
00:33:47It's a souvenir.
00:33:49You went to business school.
00:33:50I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:55You went to business school.
00:33:56I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:59No, I went to school languages.
00:34:03It's a really big campus.
00:34:05You probably wouldn't have run into me.
00:34:07It's all in my resume.
00:34:08You can check, Mr. Anderson.
00:34:16Hey.
00:34:18All right.
00:34:18All right.
00:34:19Whatever you want, sweetheart.
00:34:21Okay.
00:34:23Look, you can clear my schedule tomorrow.
00:34:25And you can take the day off if you want to hang out with Cody.
00:34:28Oh, thank you.
00:34:31It's very generous.
00:34:34All right, sweetie.
00:34:35Pick out anything you want to celebrate you for getting out of the hospital.
00:34:41Ooh.
00:34:43Everyone available, drop what you're doing.
00:34:45All hands on deck in the VIP lounge now.
00:34:56All right, sweetheart.
00:34:58Pick out whatever you want.
00:34:59I will buy you everything.
00:35:01Come here.
00:35:06Lucky little girl.
00:35:08I've heard she's Mr. Anderson's secret daughter.
00:35:11What?
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:13Rumor is he's never gotten over some ex-girlfriend from college.
00:35:17That's her kid.
00:35:18He spoils her rotten.
00:35:20Totally daddy's girl.
00:35:23So the woman on the phone, that was her.
00:35:27The one he never forgot.
00:35:30It was never me.
00:35:33They...
00:35:34They even have a child.
00:35:36Both of them.
00:35:39Hey, Carol, let me drive you home.
00:35:42Uh, no, thank you.
00:35:44Mr. Anderson, I'll manage.
00:35:46Carol, wait.
00:35:53What's wrong?
00:35:55Nothing.
00:35:56It's just my husband.
00:35:59My husband.
00:36:03Hey, Carol.
00:36:04Got some great news.
00:36:06I'll be back next week.
00:36:07Oh, that's great.
00:36:09Okay.
00:36:09Yeah, I will.
00:36:10Bye.
00:36:17Is there anything else, Mr. Anderson?
00:36:22No.
00:36:23You can go.
00:36:27What is wrong with me?
00:36:29That felt like jealousy.
00:36:31No way.
00:36:32Lori, where are you?
00:36:35Ah, Wes.
00:36:37I, um...
00:36:38I found her.
00:36:40Oh, yeah?
00:36:42You're going to have to prepare yourself.
00:36:43It's, um...
00:36:46It's not good.
00:36:47Just say it, Lucas.
00:36:49Sorry, man.
00:36:50She's gone.
00:36:51She didn't survive the accident.
00:37:08Wes, man, you have to...
00:37:11You have to move on.
00:37:14Let's go, Lucas.
00:37:16I'm going to be alone.
00:37:19I'm going to be alone.
00:37:23Wes is still obsessed with finding this girl, Lori, after all this time.
00:37:27That's crazy, right?
00:37:29Mm-hmm.
00:37:31All right.
00:37:32Well, I've got to hit the head.
00:37:33Don't forget all the good stuff, Rhonda.
00:37:34All right.
00:37:41Girls, we can't let him keep going on like this.
00:37:45That bitch needs to be wiped out completely.
00:37:49How about we let him find her dead?
00:37:52We give him a death certificate.
00:37:55Do it.
00:37:56Make it convincing.
00:38:20Mr. Anderson?
00:38:25It's been weeks.
00:38:26We really can't postpone this board meeting any longer.
00:38:36Mr. Anderson, what is it?
00:38:40Searched for her for seven years.
00:38:42How could she just be gone?
00:38:46Who?
00:38:47The mother of his secret daughter?
00:38:50Oh, he really loved her that much.
00:38:54I'm so sorry.
00:38:57I mean, she wouldn't want to see me like this.
00:39:00Mm-hmm.
00:39:13You have to shape up, okay?
00:39:15You have a company to run.
00:39:17You have people who depend on you.
00:39:18Lori once did the same thing.
00:39:20Why?
00:39:21Why is she so much like her?
00:39:23Unless, maybe Lucas was wrong.
00:39:28I'm sorry.
00:39:29Here, I'm straight off.
00:39:43I'm sorry.
00:39:44I'm sorry.
00:39:44I'm sorry.
00:39:45I'm sorry.
00:39:49I'm sorry.
00:39:50Mr. Anderson, everyone is waiting for you at the office for this meeting.
00:39:54Am I still lying to myself?
00:39:56I'm such an asshole.
00:40:02My apologies.
00:40:04You're right.
00:40:06I'll get ready.
00:40:15Carol.
00:40:16Carol, wait.
00:40:17Me.
00:40:18What do you say we grab dinner tonight?
00:40:20You know, as a way of saying thank you for that wake-up call today?
00:40:27Please don't get that real stare.
00:40:31Hey, girl.
00:40:37Seems like you have prior plans, Mr. Anderson, so I will just see myself.
00:40:43Wait, wait, wait.
00:40:45What about tomorrow then?
00:40:48Is this your new girlfriend?
00:40:55Oh, um...
00:40:56No, no, sweetie.
00:40:57I'm just your father's assistant.
00:40:59You know, he's not my dad.
00:41:02He's my uncle.
00:41:04This is Sarah, my sister Jennifer's daughter.
00:41:07So, shall we go?
00:41:09We can pick up Cody along the way.
00:41:12Dinner's on me.
00:41:14Yay.
00:41:26That fucking bitch.
00:41:29He actually took her out to dinner.
00:41:31It's my turn.
00:41:45Shh.
00:41:51Wesley, are you falling for Carol?
00:41:59Sarah, we don't have to ask that.
00:42:02I got you, bitch.
00:42:12Did you really think that you belonged at his table?
00:42:16I mean, you're just a piece of trash.
00:42:21Come on, open the door, let me out.
00:42:23Easy there.
00:42:24The phone's just getting started.
00:42:43Now, how does that feel?
00:42:45He's what you get for trying to seduce Wesley.
00:42:48Ladies, strip her.
00:43:03Why is mom taking so long?
00:43:12Mom, mom, are you in there?
00:43:18Shut your mouth, you little brat.
00:43:26Sarah, where did Cody go?
00:43:27He went by his mom.
00:43:30You stay right here, okay?
00:43:34Move, my mom's in there.
00:43:36You misheard, now get lost.
00:43:42You annoying little brat.
00:43:53What's going on?
00:43:55Wesley, I...
00:43:56It was an accident.
00:43:58This little boy was trying to go into the women's restroom.
00:44:01That's all.
00:44:02Cody, are you okay?
00:44:03What's wrong?
00:44:04Mom is crying in the bathroom.
00:44:06She can tell...
00:44:07Shh.
00:44:08Wesley, wait.
00:44:09No, wait.
00:44:12Stop!
00:44:12Mr. Anderson, it's gone.
00:44:13Shut up.
00:44:18I wanted to get away with this.
00:44:20You'll both pay.
00:44:45Oh, sorry, I was checking your temperature.
00:44:51I should go.
00:44:53Wesley, um, thank you for everything.
00:45:12You got feelings for her, bro, for Carol.
00:45:15Yes!
00:45:17Uh, finally, we're moving on.
00:45:19Yeah, but are there real feelings or is it just because she feels familiar?
00:45:24Who cares?
00:45:25Dude, if she makes you feel happy, that's all that matters.
00:45:28Go for it.
00:45:29Maybe she's married to me.
00:45:30She's alive?
00:45:31And she has a kid.
00:45:33Uh, married, huh?
00:45:35Um, have you met her husband yet?
00:45:40No, actually.
00:45:42But I've been to her house and it doesn't really feel like she lives there.
00:45:47I don't know.
00:45:48The whole thing is kind of weird.
00:45:50That is suspicious.
00:45:51But who would lie about having a husband if that's the case?
00:45:55She's definitely hiding something.
00:45:57I don't know.
00:45:58Actually, I've got a plan.
00:46:14You need a hand?
00:46:16Uh, no.
00:46:17No, you're a guest.
00:46:18Just relax, I got this.
00:46:20I don't see a spare light bubble around.
00:46:22You sure you don't need one?
00:46:25Uh, actually, yeah.
00:46:28I think they're in the cabinet drawer in the study.
00:46:31Okay, you got it.
00:46:33Thanks.
00:46:41Is that her husband?
00:46:46Why are you so nervous?
00:46:47What's in there?
00:46:50Uh, nothing.
00:46:52Can you do everything yourself?
00:46:53Does your husband never plan on coming home?
00:46:56He's really busy working a lot.
00:47:00Do you even have a husband, Carol?
00:47:03Because I don't see any photos of the two of you anywhere.
00:47:08Carol.
00:47:16I should get that.
00:47:27I'm home early.
00:47:29Surprise!
00:47:38And this is...
00:47:42Uh, this is...
00:47:44Mr. Anderson.
00:47:46My boss.
00:47:47Eric!
00:47:48Carol's husband.
00:47:50Pleasure to meet you.
00:47:51Would you like to stay for lunch?
00:47:54No, I was just leaving.
00:48:00The transfer came through.
00:48:02I'm based in L.A. now.
00:48:04Oh, that's...
00:48:05That's great.
00:48:07I'll start looking for an apartment, so I'll move out soon.
00:48:10No rush.
00:48:11Actually, you two can stay as long as you need.
00:48:22Hey, Carol.
00:48:24Can we talk?
00:48:28Hello?
00:48:30What?
00:48:32I'll be right there.
00:48:42I'll be right there.
00:48:44I'll be right there.
00:48:47He'll be right there.
00:48:51I'm leaving.
00:48:51What are you doing?
00:48:55I can't see.
00:48:56What?
00:48:57Eric isn't my real dad.
00:49:00I want to tell you a secret.
00:49:02My mom and Eric are not...
00:49:04Cody.
00:49:07What did I tell you about fighting?
00:49:09It's never okay.
00:49:10He was provoked.
00:49:12That other kid says some cool things to him.
00:49:16Honey, you know we can't solve problems with our fists.
00:49:25Why don't you guys just talk it out?
00:49:27I think this kid needs to apologize to Cody first.
00:49:30Before we discuss anything else.
00:49:32My son was just stating a fact.
00:49:35Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:40My son was just stating a fact.
00:49:44Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:46I am his father.
00:49:48You will apologize.
00:49:50Now.
00:49:51Or what?
00:49:53Or you'll deal with the full force of the Anderson Lincolnton.
00:49:57Oh god.
00:49:59He is Wesley Anderson.
00:50:02A simple misunderstanding.
00:50:05Apologize to the boy, dear.
00:50:07Honey, apologize.
00:50:15Hey, Cody.
00:50:17You did a really good job at apologizing to that little boy today.
00:50:22Look, as a reward, I'll take you to get your favorite toy tomorrow.
00:50:25Yes!
00:50:27All right.
00:50:27I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
00:50:31Mom, can I sleep in my dad?
00:50:38What?
00:50:39Uh, um...
00:50:40Oh.
00:50:41You're back.
00:50:42Hey, I made reservations at that Italian place for tomorrow night.
00:50:46Would you want to go?
00:50:49We can't.
00:50:50We have plans with Uncle Wesley tomorrow.
00:50:54Of course.
00:50:55Another time, then.
00:51:05Okay, sweetie.
00:51:06Uncle Wesley's on his way.
00:51:07She'll pick out anything you want.
00:51:09Just pick one thing.
00:51:11Okay.
00:51:14Hello?
00:51:15Hello?
00:51:17Yeah.
00:51:18Yeah, hi.
00:51:19I was hoping to schedule a consultation to discuss divorce proceedings.
00:51:25Heard that little brat was claustrophobic.
00:51:29Get ready for hell, you little brat.
00:51:32Yeah, thank you so much.
00:51:34Bye.
00:51:36Cody!
00:51:37Cody?
00:51:40Cody?
00:51:40Cody?
00:51:43Hey, what's going on?
00:51:45I can't even go to him.
00:51:46What?
00:51:48Hey, are you looking for your son?
00:51:49Yeah.
00:51:50Apparently, there's a kid passed out of the storage room.
00:52:06He's okay.
00:52:08He just fainted from a panic attack.
00:52:10He has claustrophobia.
00:52:12So, you need to avoid getting him into situations that have that trigger.
00:52:19I have that, too.
00:52:20Another coincidence?
00:52:26Hey.
00:52:28Oh, baby.
00:52:29How are we?
00:52:31Are you hungry?
00:52:32Can I have a hot dog?
00:52:37I'll go get you one, buddy, okay?
00:52:42Carol, I got your favorite tacos.
00:52:51Thanks.
00:52:52I want a hot dog.
00:52:57Mr. Anderson, my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:53:04Well, I gotta go.
00:53:07Wesley, I...
00:53:07I'll see him out.
00:53:21I appreciate you looking after Carol and Cody.
00:53:26But as her husband, I'll handle things from here.
00:53:29Funny.
00:53:30Didn't need to handle it for quite a while now, and you're nowhere to be found.
00:53:34From what I hear, you're not even Cody's real father.
00:53:42So what if I'm not Cody's biological father?
00:53:44I'm still Carol's husband, and you better stay away from my wife.
00:53:50I don't care whose wife she is.
00:53:53Either you make her happy, or I will.
00:54:02Carol, these past few months, I...
00:54:05I know it started as an arrangement, but my feelings...
00:54:16Great.
00:54:17You're home.
00:54:19Carol, there's something I need to tell you.
00:54:21I...
00:54:22Eric, I need to tell you something first.
00:54:24Thank you for helping us when we had nowhere to go.
00:54:30I feel like we have been bothering you for...
00:54:34a while now.
00:54:36Um...
00:54:39Perhaps it's time we get a divorce.
00:54:51Is...
00:54:52Something...
00:54:53Wrong?
00:54:54Is now a bad time?
00:54:56No.
00:54:57It's fine.
00:54:59Sure.
00:55:11Oh, Eric.
00:55:14I'm so sorry.
00:55:20Don't be.
00:55:22I just want you to be...
00:55:23happy.
00:55:25Whenever you're ready, just let me know.
00:55:27I'll sign the papers.
00:55:33We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:37Thanksgiving.
00:55:37I love you.
00:55:37I love you.
00:55:39I love you.
00:55:47I love you.
00:55:58I love you.
00:56:00It's nice.
00:56:00I love you.
00:56:05Thanksgiving is coming up.
00:56:06Sarah would love it if you and Cody joined us.
00:56:10No pressure, just...
00:56:11Um, that sounds great.
00:56:15We'll be there.
00:56:42She got divorced.
00:56:53Carol, where are you?
00:56:55I need to see you now.
00:56:57Now?
00:56:58Uh, I can come to the office.
00:57:00Look, that's fine.
00:57:01I'll meet you there.
00:57:08Hey, sorry.
00:57:10Why are you divorced?
00:57:13With all due respect, Mr. Anderson,
00:57:14that is my personal business.
00:57:17Why, Carol?
00:57:19Tell me the truth.
00:57:21Uh, fine.
00:57:23Do you want the truth?
00:57:26Eric was my neighbor.
00:57:28And he offered us a place to stay,
00:57:31so I agreed to a paper marriage
00:57:33so he could fulfill his grandmother's dying wish.
00:57:36Satisfied?
00:57:38Okay.
00:57:39Well, I do have work to do, so...
00:57:43Carol.
00:57:46Look, I can't keep fighting you anymore.
00:57:50Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:57:54Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:58:03I'm so sorry.
00:58:06Look, I know that your heart belongs to someone else.
00:58:11To your past.
00:58:15And I can't share my man as a ghost.
00:58:25You can't force these things, man.
00:58:29All right.
00:58:30Get up.
00:58:31My buddy is throwing a huge party.
00:58:33All right.
00:58:33Let's get wasted,
00:58:35and you'll feel better in the morning.
00:58:36All right.
00:58:37Come on.
00:58:38Let's go.
00:58:39Come on.
00:58:45Oh, Wes.
00:58:48This is George.
00:58:50Alumni of our university.
00:58:51That's me, too.
00:58:52He went to the School of Languages.
00:58:54Oh, you went to the School of Languages?
00:58:56Yeah, man.
00:58:56No, I graduated...
00:58:57God.
00:58:592018?
00:58:59Oh.
00:59:01Oh, good times.
00:59:04Why isn't Carol in the photo?
00:59:07Do you know a Carol Nielsen, by chance?
00:59:10She might have been in your class.
00:59:11Nielsen.
00:59:13Nah, man.
00:59:14Definitely not.
00:59:29Why did you lie to me?
00:59:31What are you talking about?
00:59:33School of Languages.
00:59:33That was a lie, right?
00:59:35I don't know why you're saying that.
00:59:40Explain this.
00:59:45Who are you, Carol?
00:59:46Really?
00:59:50Okay, I'm...
00:59:52Wes, I'm really sorry.
00:59:53I didn't lie to you.
00:59:55I just...
00:59:56Why?
00:59:58What are you hiding?
01:00:00Tell me.
01:00:01I can't.
01:00:03And if you must know, then I quit.
01:00:05You can consider this my resignation.
01:00:08No.
01:00:09Don't quiz.
01:00:11Just...
01:00:13I won't ask anymore.
01:00:15Whatever your secrets are, whatever your past is, I guess.
01:00:19Whatever you're ready, just tell me.
01:00:21I'll wait, no matter how long it takes.
01:00:32See you.
01:00:48Look, Sarah.
01:00:50I brought you a new friend for Thanksgiving.
01:00:54Cody, you're here.
01:01:01What are you doing here?
01:01:04I was invited.
01:01:06Oh, right.
01:01:08The help.
01:01:10Perfect.
01:01:11I was actually thirsty, so how about you go get me a drink?
01:01:14Actually, that's not my duty today.
01:01:16I am here as a guest.
01:01:19How dare you talk to me like that?
01:01:23Security!
01:01:25Remove her!
01:01:30I'd like to see the truck.
01:01:35The only one caught on a scene who's at risk of being removed is you, Olivia.
01:01:45Why don't you guys go make some Thanksgiving cards, okay?
01:01:59That's the same boy from the hospital.
01:02:01Wes has an almost identical mole on his palm, too.
01:02:04Oh, such beautiful cards.
01:02:09Oh, honey, you actually have a leaf in your hair.
01:02:13Get a paternity test done.
01:02:20I have your results.
01:02:23Oh, it's negative.
01:02:27He's not the father.
01:02:29Seems like we're overthinking it.
01:02:31We really need to focus on finding a suitable match for Wesley.
01:02:35So, perhaps, Olivia is still our best bet.
01:02:45That little brat really is his son.
01:02:49How?
01:02:51Here, take this.
01:02:53Change it.
01:02:55Make it stay negative.
01:03:03I want to know everything about Carol Nielsen.
01:03:07Dig deeper.
01:03:14She's in Wesley's bed.
01:03:31Wes, perhaps you should consider getting to know Olivia a bit better.
01:03:35You know, this union is the best for both of our families.
01:03:39No, Mom, we've been over this.
01:03:41I'm not marrying her.
01:03:42Why won't you even give it a try?
01:03:45Look, because I'm in love with Carol, okay?
01:03:47That's my final answer.
01:03:51That wretched bitch.
01:03:58Lori?
01:04:00Lori Nielsen.
01:04:03Quite unexpected.
01:04:05I don't know what you're talking about.
01:04:07You know, I thought it was odd.
01:04:11You vanished all those years ago after that accident.
01:04:14Turns out you were just having your face fixed,
01:04:17got that ugly birthmark removed,
01:04:19and had your name changed.
01:04:24What do you want?
01:04:26Simple.
01:04:27Take your son and leave this city.
01:04:31Go to hell.
01:04:33Going somewhere?
01:04:35Maybe to pick up your son?
01:04:39I wouldn't bother.
01:04:41I already did.
01:04:44I already did.
01:04:57What are you doing?
01:04:58Let him go.
01:04:59If you hurt him,
01:05:01I will destroy you.
01:05:03Lori, Lori, Lori.
01:05:06All I want is for you to stop seeing Wesley.
01:05:10Just imagine how disgusted he'll be
01:05:12when he finds out that
01:05:13the ugly freak he secretly pities
01:05:15had his bastard child.
01:05:21Don't you hurt him!
01:05:23Fine.
01:05:25Then beg on your knees.
01:05:38Please.
01:05:39He's just a child.
01:05:42Leave my mom alone!
01:05:56We got Cody!
01:05:59I swear to Iran prison
01:06:01for the rest of your life.
01:06:08I swear to Iran prison
01:06:14the boy's RH negative.
01:06:16Our supplies are depleted.
01:06:18We need blood now.
01:06:19I'll do it.
01:06:20Take mine.
01:06:21No, you can't.
01:06:22You're his father.
01:06:26That's impossible.
01:06:28The results from the paternity test
01:06:30came back negative.
01:06:31Hey, wait.
01:06:32What's going on here?
01:06:33I want the truth.
01:06:34Tell me everything.
01:06:37She made me do it.
01:06:39She paid me to change the results.
01:06:43I'll settle a score with you
01:06:44once and for all.
01:06:47The blood supply is here.
01:06:52Lori, it's really you?
01:06:53Why?
01:06:55Why didn't you tell me?
01:06:56Why did you just leave?
01:06:58It was that day in the locker room.
01:07:00I heard you.
01:07:02You said it was just a bet
01:07:03that you were going to dump me
01:07:04after graduation.
01:07:07I called you
01:07:08and a woman's voice answered
01:07:09so I wasn't going to stay
01:07:11humiliate myself any further.
01:07:13That was my sister.
01:07:16Lori,
01:07:17I'm an idiot.
01:07:19I was trying to save face
01:07:20with my friends.
01:07:22Little did I know
01:07:22I was making the biggest mistake
01:07:24of my entire life.
01:07:29He's stable.
01:07:30He's going to be okay.
01:07:36Lori, can you please forgive me?
01:07:39Give me a chance to make it right.
01:07:40Well, it's my name.
01:07:59I'm going to stay
