00:00:00And it's not yours.
00:00:02What? What did you say?
00:00:03No!
00:00:04My boyfriend helped me fight over my father in the nick of time.
00:00:09But he also suffered a serious injury as well.
00:00:13My boyfriend's mother slapped me angrily when she found out.
00:00:16It turned out that my boyfriend had given up his chance to study for a master's degree at Harvard to
00:00:22stay and protect me.
00:00:24Let him go!
00:00:25To avoid dragging my boyfriend down, I lied.
00:00:30And I said that I had cheated on him.
00:00:32And I was pregnant with someone else's child.
00:00:41Mommy, why are we in LA?
00:00:44Well, your sister has a heart condition.
00:00:47And there's some really good doctors here that are gonna make her all day.
00:00:52Don't be scared of me.
00:00:53I'll make sure no one hurts you.
00:00:59Mommy, are you gonna see Dad this time?
00:01:13Welcome to Los Angeles, President Grant.
00:01:18Sir, Mark Strasberg, the CEO of Feedboat, has been requesting a dinner with you.
00:01:22I believe it's to celebrate your article, Forbes.
00:01:268pm will be fine.
00:01:32Mommy, are you gonna see Dad this time?
00:01:35Theodore probably left LA ages ago.
00:01:38Eleanor.
00:01:39Take my hand out of my promises.
00:01:45There goes through the head of the road.
00:01:49Ms. Eleanor Grace, your son dropped this.
00:01:53Oh, thank you so much.
00:01:55He's a little rascal.
00:01:57Can you say thank you to the nice man?
00:01:59Yeah, do you know where Essential Hospital is?
00:02:01Yeah, actually.
00:02:03Mr. Grant.
00:02:04Mr. Grant.
00:02:04Mr. Grant, may we ask what are putting someone on a statue today?
00:02:08Market expansion.
00:02:09I heard you just expand your business in Los Angeles because you're hoping to get back together.
00:02:14There's her first love from college.
00:02:16Excuse me?
00:02:16Could you tell us a little more about that relationship?
00:02:19I want to talk about it.
00:02:21I hope that I never see her again.
00:02:22Mr. Grant, please.
00:02:23Three or two times.
00:02:23One grand, maybe.
00:02:24Mr. Grant.
00:02:25Mr. Grant.
00:02:38Sir, your mother was waiting for us at the hospital.
00:02:41Mr. Grant.
00:02:42Mr. Grant.
00:02:43Mom, I just saw Dad.
00:02:50That guy's got a whole entourage.
00:02:52He must be really important.
00:02:54We have a chance at curing May's condition.
00:02:57If we can arrange a specialist consultation that would cost over $30,000 for every tree.
00:03:19Oh, wow.
00:03:20The famous celebrity brought his mother in here.
00:03:25And they called in all the top doctors in the entire hospital.
00:03:31If only I were that rich, my baby could get the best treatment, too.
00:03:37Mom, don't be sad.
00:03:39Look at me.
00:03:40It's on my big airplane.
00:03:46I'm happy you could come with me to the doctor.
00:03:48But be honest.
00:03:50Are you only in Los Angeles because of that woman?
00:03:53You're still thinking about that woman, aren't you?
00:03:56Pretending you don't care.
00:03:58I didn't even say which woman.
00:04:00You blurted out her name.
00:04:04Theodore, you haven't dated a single girl since you went to college.
00:04:08Five years!
00:04:10Are you planning on staying single forever?
00:04:13When will I get to see you settle down?
00:04:15I've just been busy with work.
00:04:19Mia, the daughter of the real estate tycoon Mr. Jones.
00:04:23She just returned from Europe.
00:04:25She's taken a liking to you.
00:04:27You should give her a chance.
00:04:29Mom, don't worry about me.
00:04:31You don't need more stress right now.
00:04:32I don't want to worry either.
00:04:34But I have a brain tumor!
00:04:36If I don't get grandchildren soon, it may never happen!
00:04:43Dear Lord, hear my prayer.
00:04:47Please give my Theodore the perfect wife and an adorable child.
00:04:51Children even!
00:04:56Oh!
00:04:59Theodore!
00:05:00Look!
00:05:01This little one is your exact double!
00:05:08Sorry!
00:05:10My prayers have been answered!
00:05:12Oh, my grandson!
00:05:14My grandson!
00:05:15Mom, I haven't been with a woman in years.
00:05:17How could that possibly...
00:05:18Run along now.
00:05:22Good.
00:05:23I managed to nab a few hairs from that child's head.
00:05:27Leodore.
00:05:28Come.
00:05:29Closer.
00:05:33A simple paternity test and the truth will be revealed.
00:05:37If he's not your child, so be it.
00:05:40But if he is, you need to find this child and his mother and take responsibility.
00:05:46The results are ready.
00:05:51He really is my son?
00:05:53I knew it!
00:05:56He looks so much like you!
00:05:57It had to be!
00:05:59Thank God!
00:06:00I have a grandson!
00:06:02How is that possible?
00:06:04I never even...
00:06:07Eleanor.
00:06:09I'm pregnant.
00:06:11And it's not yours.
00:06:13Everyone, listen up!
00:06:15Lock down the hospital immediately and identify all boys around five years old and their mother.
00:06:18Sir, yes sir!
00:06:23Eleanor.
00:06:24Looks like we're about to meet again.
00:06:29Eleanor.
00:06:30Could that be you?
00:06:42Still no interviews.
00:06:45Oh!
00:06:46What the hell?
00:06:47Are you kidding me?
00:06:49Mae.
00:06:49Baby.
00:06:50Hey.
00:06:51Hey, it's okay. It's okay, baby.
00:06:54She'll let me wear her.
00:06:55Is this your little brat?
00:06:57Can't you put her on a leash or something?
00:06:59Are you kidding me right now?
00:07:00You ran into my daughter and you're gonna blame her.
00:07:03Eleanor?
00:07:04Yeah.
00:07:05Then college begins to be friends until I started dating Theodore.
00:07:11Eleanor?
00:07:14How could Theodore choose you over me?
00:07:17My father is a real estate tycoon while your parents are worthless addicts.
00:07:23Get out of my way.
00:07:28Spend five years and you're still dressed like a gutter slut.
00:07:32I see your plan to trap a wealthy man didn't work.
00:07:35And now you're stuck with two fatherless bastards.
00:07:40How dare you speak like that in front of my kids?
00:07:44It's true, right?
00:07:45I mean, tell me.
00:07:46Who's the baby daddy?
00:07:51President Grant, we found the child and his mother.
00:07:54They're at the hospital's main doors.
00:07:57Tell me.
00:07:58Who's the baby daddy?
00:08:00Aww.
00:08:01You got nothing to say now, huh?
00:08:04You know what?
00:08:05You are so lucky that May didn't...
00:08:07Did I tell you?
00:08:08You could leave?
00:08:10What do you want from me, Mia?
00:08:11My shoes cost 80 grand.
00:08:15Your little brat stepped on them.
00:08:18They're ruined.
00:08:20You owe me a new pair.
00:08:22But for old times sake, 30 grand will do.
00:08:25You're being so unreasonable.
00:08:28That's the price.
00:08:29And if you can't pay it, then your daughter can lick them clean.
00:08:38It's okay, baby. It's okay.
00:08:40You're the one who hit my sister first.
00:08:43And instead of saying sorry, you wanted my mom to pay for your shoes.
00:08:47Dare you talk to me like this.
00:08:49I will kick your whiny ass.
00:08:52Those sunglasses make you look like a big frog.
00:09:02I'll shut you up!
00:09:04Not me!
00:09:06Down!
00:09:10Oh my god!
00:09:12Mia, get a hold of yourself!
00:09:14I'm so sorry.
00:09:17So much.
00:09:18No worries, ma'am.
00:09:21The sky whispers secret, soft hello.
00:09:27Eleanor?
00:09:30Eleanor?
00:09:32Eleanor?
00:09:35Some cheap ring from a mountain you climbed?
00:09:40Mommy, who is he?
00:09:42A child.
00:09:44Is that the boy from earlier?
00:09:46Our child.
00:09:47Hey, can you come here?
00:09:51It's not him.
00:09:53I'm so pathetic.
00:09:55After all these years, I'm still fantasizing about a reason to get back together with Eleanor.
00:10:12Theodore, I need to apologize for everything that's their father.
00:10:16I don't want to hear about you and your husband.
00:10:18I just came to pick up Mia.
00:10:20She wants, my mother wants to see her.
00:10:24Things can change so much in five years.
00:10:27Theodore must be with Mia now.
00:10:35Any news?
00:10:36No, ma'am.
00:10:38Well, whoever this woman is, as long as she allows her child to be part of our family, she
00:10:45will be our hero.
00:10:46The matriarch of our home and my personal savior.
00:10:57Mom, I want chicken.
00:11:02Phew.
00:11:03Well, mommy has to save money right now for your sister's surgery, but I could make you
00:11:08your favorite cheesy pasta.
00:11:10Yeah?
00:11:25Come on, let's go home, guys.
00:11:43Wow.
00:11:44Mark really outdid himself inviting you to a place like this.
00:11:48This club is one of his businesses.
00:11:50He chose it for privacy reasons.
00:11:56Eleanor?
00:12:00We're going to make at least three million on this deal.
00:12:02If we stay on President Grant's good side.
00:12:09Hot girl.
00:12:13Are you new here?
00:12:15Yeah.
00:12:17Spend the night with us.
00:12:18We'll look after you.
00:12:20Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:12:23I think that there's a little misunderstanding.
00:12:25I'm not a prostitute.
00:12:30What?
00:12:30Don't be afraid.
00:12:32It's always awkward at first, but it gets easier.
00:12:47You ungrateful bitch.
00:12:49You work in a place like this, dressed like that.
00:12:51You're definitely a hooker.
00:12:53Drop the innocent acts.
00:12:55You're like girls with a little bite in them.
00:12:57The fun part is when they finally stop squirming.
00:13:04Stop.
00:13:10Stop.
00:13:12Who the hell are you?
00:13:14Messing with my business?
00:13:16You got Death Wish Punk?
00:13:34How dare you two speak to Mr. Grant that way.
00:13:37I had to rip both your faces off.
00:13:41Mr. Grant.
00:13:42President.
00:13:47We didn't know she was with you, sir.
00:13:49Please.
00:13:50Spare us just this once.
00:13:52Please.
00:13:57Mr. William.
00:13:59Mr. Miller.
00:14:00You're not retail businesses.
00:14:01I'll remember.
00:14:03None of my companies will ever do business with you again.
00:14:07Perhaps we should alert the American Business Association.
00:14:10Have these two blacklist.
00:14:12Mr. Grant.
00:14:18Come on man!
00:14:20Come on!
00:14:22Are you hurt?
00:14:24Mr. Peter has gotten so influential.
00:14:26I have to be careful not to burden him in my current situation.
00:14:39Does your husband know you work in a place like this?
00:14:48Why are you going dressed like that?
00:14:50Another private room, another man?
00:14:53This is my job.
00:14:55I do this so I can take care of my children.
00:14:58Don't do.
00:14:59Is this the easy life you left me for?
00:15:01Or is your rich husband?
00:15:02He's with Mia now.
00:15:04I would just ruin their happiness.
00:15:06I don't have a husband.
00:15:09I mean, we...
00:15:11We broke up.
00:15:16Years ago.
00:15:18Then stay with me tonight.
00:15:20I'll pay you double.
00:15:34I'm not a prostitute.
00:15:41Then come work for me.
00:15:42I'll pay you double.
00:15:46I don't need your handouts.
00:15:49We don't owe each other anything anymore.
00:15:58Eleanor, I won't let you go that easily.
00:16:02Tom, set up a meeting with HR.
00:16:13And it...

00:25:45I didn't include any roses in Alex's bouquet!
00:25:48How did he get exposed?
00:25:51This isn't mine. I only bought unsaid lip balm.
00:25:58No! This is rose essential oil!
00:26:00Only Miss Jones used that brand.
00:26:03If you're accusing me without proof, I will sue you for slander!
00:26:07Well, I guess the security cameras would show us who did this.
00:26:10Oh, please!
00:26:12Like, they would show you the cameras just because you said so.
00:26:15What if I didn't see the footage?
00:26:21President Grant!
00:26:23Indisputable evidence against Miss Jones.
00:26:25Look what you did to a child!
00:26:27This company can't have someone so heartless, cruel.
00:26:30The branch offices and salary cuts.
00:26:35Theodore, please don't fire me!
00:26:38Think about my brother!
00:26:39He's your best friend!
00:26:40If it wasn't for him, you'd be in handcuffs by now!
00:26:45Sir, the ambulance has arrived.
00:26:52Ma'am, you wait here every day, but you've only met your grandson once.
00:26:56I would know that boy even if he turned into a jellyfish.
00:27:09Theodore!
00:27:10Your mother?
00:27:11The colleague's child was injured on set.
00:27:12I have to go help.
00:27:13I'll visit you later.
00:27:15Outrageous!
00:27:16He ignores his own sh**!
00:27:18And with no father in sight.
00:27:19Probably a bastard.
00:27:21But, that woman looked familiar.
00:27:24Where have I seen her?
00:27:26Ma'am, Dr. Jones will probably be at your room soon.
00:27:29Shall we return?
00:27:31Okay.
00:27:38The EpiPen worked.
00:27:39He's stable.
00:27:40Facial swelling has reduced.
00:27:41He'll be able to eat in a few hours.
00:27:49Wait.
00:27:50Why was I so worried?
00:27:51This is another man's child.
00:27:54Could it be that this child is related to me?
00:28:07The EpiPen.
00:28:11Almost forgot.
00:28:12I promised to check on my mother.
00:28:14I gotta go.
00:28:16Everything?
00:28:17Of course.
00:28:21We have to take it.
00:28:26Just some fluctuations of blood pressure, ma'am.
00:28:29No.
00:28:30No.
00:28:31This is it for me.
00:28:34Mom.
00:28:35Oh, Theodore.
00:28:36Theodore.
00:28:37My only regret is that I never found my grandson.
00:28:42No, no, no.
00:28:42Stay with us.
00:28:43Dr. Jones is America's top neurologist.
00:28:44He'll fix you.
00:28:48He's been having headaches for the past three hours
00:28:50and they just keep getting worse.
00:28:55No, this isn't good.
00:28:58The prolonged oxygen deprivation seems to have caused some brain damage.
00:29:02Doctor, please.
00:29:03He's only five.
00:29:05Any normal treatment will have horrible side effects.
00:29:07Only a skilled doctor like Adam Jones could guarantee a full recovery.
00:29:10Adam Jones.
00:29:12America's top neurosurgeon.
00:29:13He works here, but he's currently unavailable.
00:29:16I believe he's treating a VIP upstairs.
00:29:20We have to talk to him right now.
00:29:22No decent doctor is going to refuse to see my son just because we're poor.
00:29:26No.
00:29:27My son's life is at stake.
00:29:28No.
00:29:30Hi.
00:29:31Is Dr. Jones inside?
00:29:37This is a private ward.
00:29:39No entry.
00:29:40Please.
00:29:41Oh, please.
00:29:42My son is dying, okay?
00:29:43I just need to talk to Dr. Jones for one minute.
00:29:46Please.
00:29:52One minute.
00:29:53Do you know who his patient is?
00:29:55You again?
00:29:57You think my brother would treat your bastard child?
00:30:00Know your place, Eleanor.
00:30:02Mommy, it hurts.
00:30:12Mom, you're all better?
00:30:13Quiet.
00:30:14I heard my grandson.
00:30:31That's impossible.
00:30:32Mom, you're hearing things.
00:30:34Please.
00:30:34Please.
00:30:35I'm not lying, okay?
00:30:36My son is dying.
00:30:37I need to talk to Dr. Jones.
00:30:38No.
00:30:39This is all your fault, Mia.
00:30:41I swear, if you don't let me in that room right now, karma's going to comfort you and
00:30:44all of your future children.
00:30:46Ha!
00:30:47No way.
00:30:48Unlike you peasants, us aristocrats have great medical care.
00:30:52People like you deserve to die.
00:30:55No.
00:30:56Brother!
00:30:57Who are you more afraid of?
00:30:58No.
00:30:59My brother or his patients?
00:31:01Drive her away.
00:31:02Let me go to my grandson.
00:31:04He's outside.
00:31:08Just wait here.
00:31:09He's outside.
00:31:09Go get him for it.
00:31:10I'll come to.
00:31:11I heard someone calling for help.
00:31:12Please, my son needs help.
00:31:14Please!
00:31:15Eleanor.
00:31:18Eleanor.
00:31:21Who gave you permission to abuse a woman with a sick child?
00:31:25She gave us an order.
00:31:27A single mom with an injured child?
00:31:30She can't even pay a medical bill.
00:31:32I took an oath to help people regardless of what's in their bank account.
00:31:35Eleanor.
00:31:35You've gone too far.
00:31:39I'm Dr. Jones.
00:31:40My sister was wrong for treating me like that.
00:31:42Let's get into treatment now.
00:31:46Let's go.
00:31:49I warned you about harassing Eleanor.
00:31:51You're really defending her?
00:31:53After she got pregnant with another man's child and left you five years ago?
00:32:01And never forget.
00:32:04But this is between me and Eleanor.
00:32:08I'm the only one with the right to mess with her.
00:32:16He needs an AB blood transfusion immediately.
00:32:19Okay?
00:32:19But our blood bank is empty.
00:32:21However, we can get a transfer from another hospital.
00:32:24But it might be too late.
00:32:26I have AB blood.
00:32:27Take mine.
00:32:29Oh.
00:32:31Eleanor, he can't receive blood from a parent.
00:32:33There'd be a risk of hemolysis.
00:32:35Theodore has to do it.
00:32:36Uh, no.
00:32:37No.
00:32:37Theodore can't donate.
00:32:38Why?
00:32:39My blood type's a match.
00:32:40That doesn't matter, okay?
00:32:41You just...
00:32:42I can't.
00:32:44Is this child...
00:32:47My grandson?
00:32:48Eleanor, why not?
00:32:50What are you hiding?
00:32:52Mommy, is he my dad?
00:32:53Mom.
00:32:59Um...
00:32:59I just...
00:33:00I meant that...
00:33:04Theodore needs energy to take care of his mom, so it would be a bad idea if he...
00:33:08Meanwhile, I will do everything possible to keep this child stable, okay?
00:33:16Follow me.
00:33:16I need you to sign some papers.
00:33:31Theodore, what do you expect?
00:33:33Eleanor made it clear long ago that it can't be your child.
00:33:36Theodore is just ready to sign the check.
00:33:43Thank goodness that's over.
00:33:51No, no, no, no.
00:33:51I don't want that...
00:33:53No, I don't want...
00:33:54No, no, no, I don't want that seat.
00:33:55Okay, so what about this?
00:34:01Do you like the airplay?
00:34:02Here it comes?
00:34:02No, I don't want...
00:34:03No, I don't...
00:34:04Okay.
00:34:06Hey.
00:34:07Can I give it a shot?
00:34:08Be my guest.
00:34:10Hi.
00:34:11Hey, what's up?
00:34:13You all having a good time?
00:34:14No?
00:34:15How about this?
00:34:15How about we take a little break and you and I can play a game?
00:34:19How's that sound?
00:34:20Yeah?
00:34:22Are these lions?
00:34:24They're weird.
00:34:25So that's out.
00:34:30That's a good roar.
00:34:32You haven't eaten yet?
00:34:37I'm in trouble today.
00:34:39I'm your boss and there's still 30 minutes in the workday.
00:34:43So consider that in order.
00:34:55This is where we had our first date.
00:34:58We sat at that bar.
00:35:00What's wrong?
00:35:04Just thinking about the good old days.
00:35:12I don't remember any good old days.
00:35:17In college, Theodore and I had to work for an entire month just to afford one steak from here.
00:35:23And now, he's the richest man in the world.
00:35:29We'll have the steak with butter sauce, medium rare, and the Spanish seafood rice, but with chicken stock.
00:35:37Consider fish stock, please.
00:35:40She still remembers I don't like fish.
00:35:46I'll go pay the bill.
00:35:53Eleanor?
00:35:56Well, we have the same job, so we make the same salary, which means we both can eat here.
00:36:02My husband's head of security here.
00:36:04He gets an employee discount, so of course I can afford it.
00:36:08You, on the other hand, how can a single mom like you even afford to eat at a place like
00:36:14this?
00:36:14Whether I'm working or I'm off the clock, you just won't let up, will you?
00:36:18Call me a working mom, call me a single mom.
00:36:21What do you want from me?
00:36:23Do you have no respect for mothers?
00:36:27Where do you think you're going?
00:36:31Show us the receipt.
00:36:33Yeah, if you don't have a receipt, you're dining and dashing.
00:36:41Look, I don't have the receipt.
00:36:43I knew it.
00:36:45You could never afford to eat at a place this expensive.
00:36:48She's totally trying.
00:36:50I'm not dining and dashing.
00:36:52Somebody else is paying the bill for me.
00:36:55Oh, what a joke.
00:36:57Only millionaires eat here.
00:37:00Who would pay for you?
00:37:01A single mom like you.
00:37:03You really think some rich guy's gonna pay for you?
00:37:06What are you, just here selling yourself?
00:37:09Shut up.
00:37:10I'm telling the truth, okay?
00:37:12You have no right telling me I can't leave.
00:37:17Honey, get over here.
00:37:19We've got a thief trying to leave without paying.
00:37:23I hate gold digging bitches who try to scam high-end restaurants.
00:37:30You're gonna learn your lesson today.
00:37:37You better let me go, or you're gonna regret this.
00:37:41Still trying to talk tough?
00:37:47Look out!
00:37:53Is Mr. Grant the CEO?
00:37:57Who the hell are you?
00:37:59Don't butt in where you don't belong.
00:38:01This is the CEO of Summit Group.
00:38:03My boss.
00:38:05Oh my god, Mr. Grant.
00:38:06What an honor to meet you.
00:38:12You told me she was a dining dasher.
00:38:14I just assumed-
00:38:15You idiot!
00:38:17I could've killed him.
00:38:21I'm so sorry, Mr. Grant.
00:38:22My apologies to you and your friend.
00:38:24Miss, this was all Kay and Tina's fault.
00:38:27Please forgive me.
00:38:28Yeah, they're guilty.
00:38:30But you're not innocent either.
00:38:32You prey on the weak, you've fallen over the strong, you make me sick.
00:38:35Tina, Kay, you're fired!
00:38:38No, no, please.
00:38:40As for you, I'll be filing and complaining as the VIP of this restaurant.
00:38:43Now get out!
00:38:45Mr. Grant, I was wrong.
00:38:46Please don't get me fired.
00:38:48It was really hard to get this job.
00:38:50Mr. Grant, Eleanor, please forgive me.
00:38:52I'll never do it again!
00:38:53I promise!
00:38:54I promise!
00:38:55Please!
00:38:56Are you okay?
00:38:58Oh my god, your neck.
00:39:01It's okay.
00:39:03Let's just get away.
00:39:12You saved me again.
00:39:17You didn't use to say thank you so much.
00:39:21Well, I guess I'm...
00:39:24Surprised.
00:39:25I mean, I would've thought that you'd hate me after everything that happened all those years ago.
00:39:30I do hate you.
00:39:42It's just my butler.
00:39:43Here's the jacket you requested Theod...
00:39:45Oh my goodness, a woman!
00:39:48I'll go change Theodore with a girl before.
00:39:51He doesn't date often.
00:39:53In the past five years, countless women have pursued him, but he's rejected them all.
00:39:59What about Mia Jones?
00:40:01Theodore never liked Miss Jones.
00:40:04So they aren't together?
00:40:06I have been waiting for the day when Theodore would bring a girl home.
00:40:10I've even prepared a gift!
00:40:18What?
00:40:23Oh!
00:40:25No, no.
00:40:26You misunderstood.
00:40:27We don't have this kind of relationship.
00:40:30He's my boss.
00:40:32Donna started dating again.
00:40:37Theodore's first love.
00:40:38A heartless young woman he met in college.
00:40:41Did you know he still cries in his sleep and wakes up calling out her name?
00:40:47Eleanor Grace!
00:40:50I just don't understand how he could still be so deeply devoted to her.
00:40:55Has he really not been in love with any other woman since I left him?
00:40:59You seem like a much better choice than that nasty young woman.
00:41:05Do you happen to know her by chance?
00:41:10What's that noise?
00:41:12Did he fall?
00:41:13I should check.
00:41:15Okay.
00:41:19Might need some help.
00:41:20Why?
00:41:20I thought I heard you fall.
00:41:23Here.
00:41:26Oh!
00:41:31Why are you holding...
00:41:36I love you.
00:41:37I love you.
00:41:40I love you.
00:41:42Ah, your butler gave them to me.
00:41:47Because...
00:41:48Because you don't...
00:41:49You're right.
00:41:54You can see for yourself.
00:41:57I thought you hated me.
00:42:06I do.
00:42:07And this time...
00:42:10I know exactly how I'll get my advantage.
00:42:14I'll keep you by my side forever.
00:42:17Whisper to me.
00:42:20Pull me apart.
00:42:24Write your name across my heart.
00:42:32In the shadows we collide.
00:42:39Lost in ways.
00:42:47Mom?
00:42:49I forgot.
00:42:52Even if Theodore isn't dating Mia, his mother will never let us get back together.
00:42:59Eleanor, wait!
00:43:12Oh!
00:43:18Eleanor Grace.
00:43:19You shameless tramp!
00:43:21You are truly despicable!
00:43:24I don't know what you're talking about.
00:43:26Oh, don't lie to me.
00:43:27I heard him call your name on the phone last night.
00:43:30We all know you were born into poverty and raised by addicts.
00:43:34You clearly share the same corrupt morals as them.
00:43:38And your two bastard children.
00:43:42Shut up.
00:43:43Mia, you have tried to kill my son multiple times now.
00:43:47And if you think I'm going to get away with that, then you are absolutely mistaken.
00:43:50Oh, Eleanor! Eleanor, you've gone too far!
00:43:52Get this woman out of here!
00:43:55Immediately!
00:43:58Wait.
00:44:02Wait.
00:44:06Theodore, she has crossed the line.
00:44:09She just, uh...
00:44:10Mia, I seem to recall that you were fired.
00:44:12I need to cause a scene.
00:44:14Besides, you're still recovering.
00:44:16You shouldn't have left the hospital.
00:44:18Mia, take Miss Grant to the conference room.
00:44:20Make sure she lies down.
00:44:24God.
00:44:27This is my mother's fault.
00:44:29I'll explain her situation to her.
00:44:32You don't have to explain anything.
00:44:35I have to get back to work.
00:44:48Theodore, you need to find your son quickly and marry his mother.
00:44:54I forbid you from having any further contact with Eleanor!
00:44:58Theodore has a kid?
00:44:59Ted?
00:45:01Yes, a boy.
00:45:03That's all I know.
00:45:05Huh.
00:45:06He has sandy blonde hair, hazel eyes, a mole on his chin.
00:45:11Last time I saw him, he was wearing a green shirt and khaki shorts.
00:45:19Yes, Mia, if you see a boy like this, you have to tell me.
00:45:23Oh, how I wish I could see my grandson.
00:45:28Mia?
00:45:31Nothing.
00:45:32Daddy!
00:45:33Is there a child out there looking for their daddy?
00:45:36Yes, I heard that too.
00:45:38No, that's just Eleanor's son, Alex.
00:45:41That little bastard calls any man he sees daddy.
00:45:45Definitely not the child you're looking for.
00:45:48Eleanor's son?
00:45:50Oh.
00:45:51You mean that illegitimate kid she had with some random loser?
00:45:59Eleanor's son?
00:46:01Oh.
00:46:03You mean that illegitimate kid she had with some random loser?
00:46:09Quiet, you little bastard!
00:46:15Oh, wait.
00:46:17It's another person's kid.
00:46:19What difference does it make?
00:46:21What's the big deal?
00:46:22Hurry up and think about how we are going to find my grandson.
00:46:28Come on.
00:46:38Help!
00:46:39Let me go!
00:46:40Let me go!
00:46:41Let me go!
00:46:42Help!
00:46:43Let me go!
00:46:45You beat me, you brat!
00:46:50Oh my god.
00:46:52Oh my god.
00:46:57Me too.
00:46:58I didn't want this to happen.
00:47:03Bia?
00:47:07Son!
00:47:09My grandson!
00:47:12My grandson!
00:47:20Who are the parents?
00:47:22Uh, but I'm the boy's father.
00:47:24I don't know about the mother though.
00:47:26Mother's prison.
00:47:27Oh!
00:47:28Oh my poor grandson!
00:47:30Oh god!
00:47:31Mia, what the hell is going on?
00:47:33Why are you with this boy in the stairwell?
00:47:34You know him.
00:47:35You know who his mother is.
00:47:36Mia, tell me the truth.
00:47:39I...
00:47:40I...
00:47:41I...
00:47:43That's right.
00:47:45I am the mother of this child.
00:48:00A great frog, he wanted to show it to you so he went to find you.
00:48:07Come on.
00:48:09Come on.
00:48:34Alex?
00:48:36Alex?
00:48:38Alex?
00:48:39Alex?
00:48:40What's going on?
00:48:41My son's missing.
00:48:43Come on.
00:48:46I'm this child's mother.
00:48:48Mia...
00:48:49How is that possible?
00:48:51We've never even...
00:48:52You just forgot.
00:48:53It was five years ago, the night Eleanor rejected your proposal.
00:48:59You just forgot.
00:49:01It was five years ago.
00:49:03The night Eleanor rejected your proposal.
00:49:10Eleanor.
00:49:12I'll make you regret this.
00:49:15I'm almost...
00:49:31I won't...elp...
00:49:32I'll
00:49:33If... I'll
00:49:35make you
00:49:35regret it. It's not...
00:49:35I'm not...

00:54:16Hi.
00:54:18Hi, sweetie.
00:54:19Hi.
00:54:21Hi.
00:54:27Thank you so much for looking after me today.
00:54:29Oh, no problem.
00:54:31It's my day off.
00:54:32I didn't have much going on anyway.
00:54:34Any news about Alex?
00:54:39I didn't find a private investigator.
00:54:42I just haven't been able to scrape together the fee.
00:54:47My God.
00:54:49Did you actually buy that dress?
00:54:52Oh, no.
00:54:54It was a gift from Mr. Grant.
00:54:56You wanted me to understand the brand's aesthetic.
00:55:00That is the most expensive dress from our women's line, Trada.
00:55:05And it's a limited edition.
00:55:08Even secondhand it would go for over $20,000.
00:55:12Mr. Grant must really like you.
00:55:22This dress is so valuable.
00:55:24If I sell it, I could afford to hire a private investigator.
00:55:38Hi.
00:55:39I would like to sell this Trada dress.
00:55:42It's only been worn once.
00:55:44Ugh.
00:55:45She's dressed so shabbily that brought such an expensive dress.
00:55:48Did she steal it?
00:55:50Um, sure.
00:55:52I can take it.
00:55:53Um, as far as the price, I can offer you $100.
00:55:58Only $100?
00:56:02You're ripping me off.
00:56:04This is a limited edition dress.
00:56:05I mean, it's worth at least $20,000.
00:56:08Okay, business is business and I have to make...
00:56:12Uh, so you wasted my time talking to you and now you don't want to sell it to me?
00:56:18Are you messing with me?
00:56:19You lowballed me.
00:56:21A hundred dollars.
00:56:23Take it or leave it.
00:56:26Security!
00:56:28Whoa!
00:56:29Please, listen.
00:56:30My son is missing, okay?
00:56:31I really need this money.
00:56:32Please.
00:56:33What do I care if your son lives or dies?
00:56:36Take the money...
00:56:39...and get out.
00:56:41No, you're the one who needs to leave.
00:56:48Oh, Mr. Grant!
00:56:53Three years ago, you told me you owed sick parents and a child to support.
00:56:56You cried.
00:56:58Shady.
00:56:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Grant.
00:57:01I'm not shady.
00:57:03This dress is a fake.
00:57:05How dare you accuse this woman?
00:57:08Mr. Grant gave her that dress himself.
00:57:11I had no idea.
00:57:14This has been a complete misunderstanding.
00:57:17I just...
00:57:18You know what?
00:57:19I...
00:57:21I will give you the money, okay?
00:57:23How about...
00:57:24$25,000?
00:57:26No, you know what?
00:57:27$30,000.
00:57:28Furthermore, I'll be stripping you of your right to buy or sell any Trotta merchandise.
00:57:32You guys...
00:57:33Take down the sign off side.
00:57:46I...
00:57:48Fucked.
00:57:50I'm dead.
00:57:51Fucked.
00:57:59I'm sick of your thank yous, Eleanor.
00:58:02I thought you changed, but you haven't.
00:58:03I bought you that dress as a gift and you just threw it away.
00:58:06Just like the crystal pendant I gave you.
00:58:08It's the symbol of our love.
00:58:09You think I wanted this?
00:58:11I had no choice.
00:58:13I need the money to save my child.
00:58:15If you needed money, I could have given it to you.
00:58:17Why didn't you ever ask me for help?
00:58:19Why didn't I ask you for help?
00:58:21It's been five years.
00:58:23Everything has changed.
00:58:24You had...
00:58:25Mia!
00:58:25You had a child alive of your own!
00:58:37Even if Mia has the baby, I'm not going to marry her.
00:58:41I only love you.
00:58:44But what does that make us?
00:58:47Just secret lovers hiding in the shadows?
00:58:56Eleanor, thank you so much for coming in to help us tonight.
00:58:59God, this banquet was such short notice.
00:59:02Jesus.
00:59:03I heard about your little boy going missing.
00:59:07It's...
00:59:07It's awful.
00:59:08I...
00:59:09My condolences.
00:59:10I appreciate you coming in all the same.
00:59:13I spent all my money on mace treatment, so I still need money.

00:59:36A five-year-old boy.
00:59:40Eleanor, it turns out your little brat really is Theodore's.
00:59:44But soon he'll be mine too.

01:03:21Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:03:25Congratulations, Mrs. Grant. You finally found your grandson.
01:03:29A lovely grandson and a gracious daughter-in-law. You really hit the jackpot.
01:03:38Mrs. Grant?
01:03:39Mia, shouldn't you be upstairs with Colin?
01:03:42Someone is trying to ruin your grandson's welcome party and your family's reputation.
01:03:47What? Who would dare?
01:03:50Our favorite crack house skank, Elevore.
01:03:59Invitation.
01:04:02Oh, that makes sense.
01:04:04And I'm doing this for my children.
01:04:06And I'm doing this for my grandson.
01:04:10You're a server. Who told you to put a tray on the floor?
01:04:14You'll get all the guests sick with dirty shit like this.
01:04:18There's nothing on it.
01:04:19But it doesn't matter if it's empty. It's still your mistake.
01:04:23Where's your manager?
01:04:25Mrs. Grant wants to file a complaint.
01:04:27Yes.
01:04:28And if he doesn't fire you, I will refuse to pay for today's service.
01:04:32I've never understood why you hate me so much.
01:04:35All I have ever done is everything that you ask of me.
01:04:39Your presence is destroying my son's life, you bitch.
01:05:01The doctor said Colin was in...
01:05:08Tom, bring me some activated charcoal immediately.
01:05:11Tom, bring me some cool stuff.
01:05:41Both.
01:05:42I apologize, Mrs. Grant. I assure you that Eleanor will clean this up.
01:05:46We're the Guests of Honors. You're the help.
01:05:57Why is there green dye in your hair?
01:06:00What? No, I dyed it. It's none of your business.
01:06:05No, no, no, no. That's the paint that I gave to my kids.
01:06:10You kidnapped my son.
01:06:11Bullshit! I have a son of my own. Why would I want to take your son?
01:06:17Why would I want to take your son?
01:06:22Eleanor, not only did you pull your panties down for Theodore, now fucking whore!
01:06:29Get her out of here!
01:06:30No, no! No, Mia!
01:06:33Mia, you're a mother. You're a mother, too. You know what it's like when someone hurts your kid.
01:06:39Why are you doing this to me?
01:06:41Wait a minute.
01:06:44Your son is nothing like my grandson.
01:06:48Who knows what kind of addict fathered your bastard?
01:06:52Mommy!
01:06:55Mommy!
01:06:58Oh, my God!
01:07:02Oh, my God!
01:07:06Oh, my God! You're okay!
01:07:08What? No, no!
01:07:11You friend!
01:07:13What are you doing, you bitch?
01:07:19She's my mom.
01:07:20Don't bully my mom.
01:07:23What?
01:07:25So, May and Alex, they're both of our kids, right, Eleanor?
01:07:31May?
01:07:33I have a granddaughter, too?
01:07:36Oh, my God!
01:07:39Mia!
01:07:42What have you done?!
01:07:49I...
01:07:52That is for throwing my son in the pool, so he almost drowned.
01:07:57That is for abducting my son!
01:08:01Stop!
01:08:04No!
01:08:11That slap is for deceiving me!
01:08:14Heartless goddamn bitch!
01:08:16Uh, Theodore!
01:08:19Theodore, uh, please, I didn't mean to lie.
01:08:22I had a good reason.
01:08:24Tell them to the police.
01:08:26No!
01:08:27Please forgive me for my brother's sake!
01:08:29No!
01:08:30Please!
01:08:31Forgive me!
01:08:34Eleanor, if Alex and May are kids this whole time,
01:08:38why didn't you tell me all these years?
01:08:43Mommy, I don't feel good.
01:08:49Alex?
01:08:51Oh, my God, he's burning up.
01:08:53He's okay, baby.
01:08:54I'm gonna get you to a hospital.
01:08:57Wait, Eleanor, I'll take you there.
01:08:59Come on.
01:08:59Let's go.
01:09:00Let's go.
01:09:01Let's go.
01:09:06Let's go.
01:09:07Let's go.
01:09:14Let's go.
01:09:16Somebody's been hit.
01:09:20Eleanor!
01:09:22Eleanor.
01:09:23Eleanor.
01:09:25All right.
01:09:27Don't.
01:09:28Don't.
01:09:29Don't.
01:09:31No.
01:09:33No.
01:09:34No.
01:09:34No.
01:09:38I never want to
01:09:39There's been an accident outside of the Phoenix Hotel
01:09:42Please then help
01:09:43Oh my god Theodore
01:09:47I'm sorry
01:09:48I'm so sorry
01:09:50I never stopped loving you
01:09:52I'm sorry
01:09:53The happiness I wanted
01:09:55You had already given me
01:09:57It was nothing but to stay by your side forever
01:10:01I was foolish
01:10:02I believed your mother
01:10:04And I thought that letting go was love
01:10:06But now I know
01:10:08The only prize for letting go
01:10:10Is regret
01:10:12If I had another chance
01:10:14I wouldn't have let you go
01:10:31Doctor how is it?
01:10:33Mr. Grant
01:10:36We did everything we could
01:10:39No
01:10:40No
01:10:41No
01:10:43Oh my god
01:10:46This shit
01:10:47It's all your fault
01:10:49You killed my son
01:10:54Peter didn't die because of me
01:10:57He died because of you
01:10:58You tried to control his life
01:11:00His choices
01:11:02His goddamn love life
01:11:03Shut your fucking mouth
01:11:05Why should I?
01:11:07You caused five years of pain
01:11:11Of heartbreaking loneliness
01:11:13Because of you
01:11:14My children grew up without a father
01:11:18Because of you
01:11:19Peter got hurt
01:11:20And I regret
01:11:25Every heartless thing that I said to him
01:11:27And I should have never let him go
01:11:29And I'm sorry
01:11:32Oh my god I'm so sorry
01:11:33I'm sorry
01:11:43Eleanor
01:11:44Eleanor
01:11:46Eleanor
01:12:03Eleanor
01:12:04Mom
01:12:06I know you love me
01:12:07And you just want me to be safe and happy
01:12:09But
01:12:10I can't be happy unless I follow my heart
01:12:14If I get hurt protecting Eleanor
01:12:15Or if I go great worrying about our children
01:12:17Those are choices I'll gladly make
01:12:19Eleanor's always been my only love
01:12:21Oh
01:12:23Eleanor
01:12:24I'm so sorry
01:12:26I promise from now on
01:12:28I will respect all of your decisions
01:12:31Thanks mom
01:12:35Third time
01:12:38I hope it's the last time
01:12:43I'm sorry I still don't have a ring but
01:12:48Will you spend the rest of your life with me Eleanor?
01:12:51Yes
01:12:52I will
01:13:03You're the reason
01:13:07I keep it in snooze just to stay next to me
