00:00:01Eight years. It's been eight long years since I last saw my little Ashley.
00:00:08Today's the day I finally get to see my daughter get married.
00:00:13Happy birthday, sweetheart.
00:00:16Thanks, Mom. Your presents are always my favorite.
00:00:19Anyway, today is Ashley's big day and Mom is here with your favorite gifts.
00:00:31Whoa, lady! Stop! Stop!
00:00:34You don't want to try panhandling here and no loitering neither.
00:00:38Do yourself a favor. This is a high-end joint and you clearly don't belong here.
00:00:42So get out before I drag you out.
00:00:47Wait, stop. Hold on a second.
00:00:50Miss Anderson.
00:00:52Ashley.
00:00:57Mom.
00:00:59Can we talk over there?
00:01:05What are you doing here? I told you not to come.
00:01:08Well, I...
00:01:10Every mother wants to see their little girl walk down the aisle.
00:01:14I brought you some of your favorites from home.
00:01:18Strawberry jam.
00:01:20Turkey jerky.
00:01:23And...
00:01:24I needed you this scarf.
00:01:29Are you serious right now? What am I supposed to do with all of these?
00:01:32Do you have any idea who I'm marrying?
00:01:34Oh my God, it smells like a barn.
00:01:40Ashley, I can see you don't want me here.
00:01:44Can I just watch?
00:01:46No, Mom.
00:01:47I told everyone that you were traveling abroad.
00:01:50And you just couldn't make it.
00:01:52Now you just show up out of the blue.
00:01:53How am I even going to explain that?
00:01:58I'm sorry.
00:01:59I didn't know.
00:02:01I thought it would be a nice surprise.
00:02:05Mom, you work too hard.
00:02:08When I grow up, I will take you to the fanciest restaurant.
00:02:11And go on a beach vacation.
00:02:14Thank you, sweetheart.
00:02:16I thought you would be happy to see me.
00:02:20Ashley.
00:02:24Who's this?
00:02:31This...
00:02:31This is my aunt Nancy.
00:02:34She just dropped in.
00:02:36Got it. Welcome.
00:02:38Why don't you just invite your aunt in?
00:02:40Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:02:43Okay.
00:02:44Fine.
00:02:45But don't embarrass me.
00:02:47Remember.
00:02:48Your aunt Nancy.
00:03:03It's magnificent.
00:03:05My little girl is marrying into a whole other world.
00:03:09I hear she has no family attending the wedding.
00:03:12That's so sus.
00:03:14They say she comes from pores.
00:03:16She's probably some country hick who somehow clawed her way into the Anderson family.
00:03:24Well...
00:03:26What are you talking about?
00:03:28Who else?
00:03:29The bride, of course.
00:03:32You can tell by her posture alone that she comes from broke trash.
00:03:36But she acts like she's a goddamn princess.
00:03:39Yeah.
00:03:39Even her mother didn't show up.
00:03:42Either...
00:03:42Ashley...
00:03:43Is ashamed.
00:03:44Or mom abandoned her.
00:03:47Either way...
00:03:48Is alone...
00:03:49Plus...
00:03:50Shit.
00:03:51Ash.
00:03:52None of what you're saying is true.
00:03:55Ashley is...
00:03:56Kind and thoughtful.
00:03:57And she may have a humble background, but she's rich in character.
00:04:03Who are you anyway?
00:04:05You know, usually the janitors don't show up until after the wedding.
00:04:10Look at her clothes.
00:04:12It's...
00:04:12My socks cost more than half a closet.
00:04:17Wait, wait.
00:04:19Don't tell me she's related to the bride.
00:04:21That would be...
00:04:22Yikes.
00:04:24As a matter of fact...
00:04:26Yes.
00:04:27I'm here for Ashley.
00:04:28Ha!
00:04:29I knew it.
00:04:33I almost feel sorry for Ashley.
00:04:35She worked so hard to hide people like you from us.
00:04:41Little princess must be mortified.
00:04:44You're here.
00:04:48Mortified?
00:04:49What am I doing to embarrass her?
00:04:52And what would you know about my bank account?
00:04:56Oh my god, lady.
00:04:57Do I really have to spell it out for you?
00:04:59That sad little outfit of yours wouldn't even hit 50 bucks.
00:05:02What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:06You!
00:05:08What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:11You!
00:05:12You just standing there.
00:05:14Get back to work.
00:05:15Setting tables or whatever it is that you people do.
00:05:19I'll be having a word with your manager about...
00:05:21Hiring better staff.
00:05:23Look at you.
00:05:24Filthy.
00:05:25Ma'am, I'm not part of the staff.
00:05:28Please.
00:05:29You don't expect me to believe that you're on my list.
00:05:32Lucy, actually, yes.
00:05:34She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:36And with you, Lucy, it doesn't look like she belongs here.
00:05:40Shhh.
00:05:43Well, someone's obviously mistaken.
00:05:46Because I went through the guest list myself and Ashley never mentioned somebody like her.
00:05:52Well, maybe you missed it.
00:05:54I don't think so.
00:05:57Who are you really?
00:05:59I think you should leave before I call security.
00:06:03I'm not leaving.
00:06:05I'm here to see Ashley.
00:06:07Ashley.
00:06:08But Ashley didn't put you on the list, did she?
00:06:12Or are you here hoping for a handout?
00:06:15I mean, these gifts of the bride and groom, they're not for guests.
00:06:24All I wanted was to be here for Ashley.
00:06:27Fine.
00:06:28If you want to continue with this madness, then you've just pulled this off yourself, haven't you?
00:06:39Lucy, maybe just let it go.
00:06:41It's your son's big day.
00:06:43You shouldn't be getting your hands dirty.
00:06:44No way.
00:06:46That lady deserved it.
00:06:48Somebody had to teach her this.
00:06:50I'm not here to cause trouble.
00:06:53I'm just here for the ceremony and to bring some gifts for the bride.
00:06:59Really?
00:07:00Let's see what delightful little treasures that you've dragged in here.
00:07:08Incredible.
00:07:11Preserves.
00:07:18Dried meat.
00:07:21Oh, and a scarf that smells like the bottom of a stable.
00:07:35Shall I show you what we do with the trash?
00:07:41Help!
00:07:42What are you doing?
00:07:44Stop!
00:07:45Somebody help me!
00:07:47Please!
00:07:48I told you that I can do what the fuck I love.
00:07:53What the fuck?
00:07:56I'm Ashley's...
00:07:59...mother!
00:08:06Ashley's mother is vacationing in Switzerland.
00:08:10Although my daughter-in-law's family may not be at our level, they are very respectable.
00:08:17And what the hell are you?
00:08:20Did she really say that?
00:08:22Of course.
00:08:24Did you really think you could come waltzing in here and ruin my son's wedding?
00:08:31You're not the first freeloading fraud that I've encountered.
00:08:37Don't worry everyone.
00:08:39This old bag lady, she won't be troubling us much longer.
00:08:44Yeah, kick her ass out.
00:08:45I'm sick of her from the little face.
00:08:58Why are you crazy? Are you gonna murder me in public?
00:09:03Why not? Who'd even notice if you were gone?
00:09:13Mother?
00:09:17Mother?
00:09:21Mother.
00:09:24Ashley, do you know this woman?
00:09:27So why wasn't she on the guest list?
00:09:29That's my...
00:09:32...a distant relative.
00:09:34Aunt Nancy.
00:09:36She dropped by last minute.
00:09:37Yes, we met her at the entrance.
00:09:41I'm...
00:09:43I'm her Aunt Nancy.
00:09:47Your mother's in Switzerland, that's right, isn't it?
00:09:51Yes, of course.
00:09:53Lying's not going to get you very far in my world.
00:09:56Your niece, my daughter-in-law, isn't going to follow your tall tales.
00:10:05Okay, Auntie?
00:10:18I...
00:10:18I never wanted any of this. I just wanted... to see Ashley happy.
00:10:25Happy? With you here?
00:10:30Well...
00:10:35Maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:44Maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:50She's a man.
00:10:51She's a man.
00:10:51She's a man.
00:10:52She's a man.
00:10:54She's a man.
00:10:56She's a man.
00:10:56She's a man.
00:10:57She's a man.
00:10:57She's a man.
00:10:58She's a man.
00:11:03Mother, she...
00:11:04She really didn't mean to cause a fuss.
00:11:05She just really wanted to see me get married.
00:11:08You're defending this marmalade woman?
00:11:13You know, I call you my daughter-in-law, but it's not official yet.
00:11:20Do you still want to marry my son?
00:11:22Yes, of course, Mother.
00:11:24Good.
00:11:26Then I'll give you one more chance.
00:11:28Sure, Mother. I'll help her leave now.
00:11:31Aunt Nancy, I'm sorry, but you have to...
00:11:33Oh, no, no, no, dear.
00:11:36That's not enough.
00:11:38Go over and slap her in her ugly peasant face.
00:11:43It's that or you can forget about joining our family.
00:11:48Come on, Ashley.
00:11:49Everything's ready.
00:11:50Stop wasting time.
00:11:51Give her a quick slap and let's move on.
00:11:54Ashley.
00:11:56Look at me.
00:12:00What has happened to you?
00:12:02Look.
00:12:05Look at who I am.
00:12:07Shut up.
00:12:08That's enough.
00:12:09I know who you are.
00:12:13Sorry, Mom.
00:12:14This is my future.
00:12:16You wanted me to have everything.
00:12:18So, you just have to forgive me.
00:12:40Get out.
00:12:44I can't believe you'd hit me.
00:12:48How could you?
00:12:50I knew-
00:12:51You're her what?
00:12:53You're just some hillbilly distant relative from the middle of nowhere.
00:12:58Just look at you.
00:13:00That outfit.
00:13:02Standing amongst your betters.
00:13:04If you're not ashamed, we are on your behalf.
00:13:08Amen to that, Mrs. Anderson.
00:13:10You know, if the press catches on to this, it will be all over the feeds tomorrow.
00:13:14A total tabloids candle.
00:13:17Ashley.
00:13:19How could you treat me like this after all these years?
00:13:23It's so pathetic.
00:13:25She's still acting like she matters.
00:13:34Say something.
00:13:36Tell them.
00:13:39Tell them who I am.
00:13:43Mom, I-
00:13:44Yes, Ashley.
00:13:46Yes, I'm here.
00:13:55I'm sorry, Mom.
00:13:57I-
00:13:58I-
00:13:58I can't admit it.
00:14:01I'm getting weary with this charade.
00:14:04Is there going to be a wedding or not?
00:14:06Or shall we just call this whole thing off?
00:14:10Ashley.
00:14:10Come on.
00:14:11This is our big day.
00:14:13Are you siding with my mother or this vagabond?
00:14:16Do you even want to marry me?
00:14:19Of course.
00:14:20I-
00:14:20I-I didn't mean that at all.
00:14:25Shh.
00:14:25Please, just stop.
00:14:28Just tell them you were wrong.
00:14:30And leave quietly.
00:14:32For me.
00:14:34But what-
00:14:35What did I do wrong?
00:14:37I-
00:14:38I just came to see you get married.
00:14:41She's a persistent little bumpkin.
00:14:43I'll give her that.
00:14:44I guess you have to be persistent to survive out in the wilderness.
00:14:49Okay, enough.
00:14:51Just go.
00:14:52I don't want you here.
00:14:54Leave now.
00:14:58I'm sorry.
00:15:00I'm just a poor woman from the countryside.
00:15:05I shouldn't have come.
00:15:09Not bad.
00:15:11Well, since you came all this way, all by uninvited, let me offer you some dessert.
00:15:24I bet you've never seen anything quite this exquisite in your whole miserable life.
00:15:32Bon appetit.
00:15:54Novat.
00:15:55If you came all this way, she may fall, if you're Schwal tutorial aren't a good father, you're
00:16:08Oh, another pair tainted.
00:16:19All right, now get out before you taint this wedding any further.
00:16:27All right, I'll go.
00:16:33Congratulations, Ashley.
00:16:35I hope you have a happy marriage.
00:16:39Of course she'll be happy.
00:16:41She's marrying my son.
00:16:43How could she not?
00:16:45And don't forget your gifts.
00:16:48Yeah, I don't need them.
00:16:50No, it's okay.
00:16:54Well, you must have loved one.
00:17:02But again, I'm not going to die.
00:17:09I'm sorry.
00:17:10But you're not going to die.
00:17:13I'm sorry.
00:17:24Ashley, I only wanted to see you happy.
00:17:28I still hope you will be.
00:17:46Ms. Brooke, our client is waiting up to you.
00:18:08Ma?
00:18:09Ma?
00:18:11It really is you.
00:18:15It's me, Lauren.
00:18:19Look, Lauren, is it really you?
00:18:24Ma was always so kind to me.
00:18:26I mean, she adopted me and raised me as her own.
00:18:30Now you're both my precious girls.
00:18:34Then in college, my birth parents reached out after the hurricane.
00:18:38Everything was so confusing and I was so lost.
00:18:42Now I've got all this money and a new life.
00:18:44But God, I still miss Ma so much.
00:18:48I searched for you for years.
00:18:51I didn't know if you survived the hurricane.
00:18:56What happened?
00:18:58What happened?
00:19:01Mom.
00:19:02I reconnected you with my birth parents.
00:19:06So much has happened.
00:19:08I thought you'd all forgotten about me.
00:19:12Never.
00:19:14Never.
00:19:15Never.
00:19:22Mom.
00:19:23Let's go, Mom.
00:19:39Oh, Lauren, I can't go inside.
00:19:42I don't belong here.
00:19:43I should go.
00:19:44Mom.
00:19:45What are you saying?
00:19:47Your family.
00:19:48My home is your home.
00:19:51Lauren!
00:19:53Who's this?
00:19:57This is my adoptive mother.
00:20:00The woman who raised me.
00:20:02Mom.
00:20:03This is William.
00:20:05He is my-
00:20:06Another mother.
00:20:07Lauren, this is a lot to drop on somebody.
00:20:09How am I supposed to process this?
00:20:12Lauren, what other secrets are you hiding?
00:20:14What else is there?
00:20:16I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:20:17I should go.
00:20:18I'll only be in the way here.
00:20:22No!
00:20:23No, please.
00:20:24Stay.
00:20:25Lauren, I don't want to come between you and your boyfriend.
00:20:28Ma.
00:20:29You are not just an outsider.
00:20:32Okay?
00:20:33Forget him.
00:20:34Let's just go inside.
00:20:38Babe, I wish you told me your mother was coming in advance.
00:20:41Could have gotten a nicer gift.
00:20:43Nancy, I'm William.
00:20:45I'm Lauren's fiancé.
00:20:46Please excuse my behaviour from earlier.
00:20:48Sometimes I can get a little bit anxious.
00:20:50But it's no excuse, okay?
00:20:52Come inside.
00:20:53Take your shoes off.
00:20:54Let's get comfortable.
00:20:55Hopefully you can accept this gift from me as well.
00:21:01Thank you, William.
00:21:03Did you say Lauren's fiancé?
00:21:09Yes, Mom.
00:21:10I'm doing well.
00:21:12You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:21:15Now that's more like it.
00:21:18Come on.
00:21:20Let's go inside.
00:21:22And chill.
00:21:26What a disaster of a wedding you've pulled off.
00:21:30Embarrassing.
00:21:32Chaotic.
00:21:33You're pulling off on your own and you bring in this distant aunt to humiliate me.
00:21:38Mother, I'm sorry.
00:21:40I...
00:21:40Sorry doesn't cut it.
00:21:43You barely earn anything and you can't even afford a goddamn housekeeper.
00:21:48I could ask my wife what they say to help her in the house.
00:21:51She'll do it for real cheap and she'll do whatever you want.
00:21:56Alright.
00:21:56But if she doesn't make this place sparkle, she will not get a penny.
00:22:13My shoes are dirty.
00:22:15My socks have holes in them.
00:22:17I should...
00:22:18I...
00:22:18I should just stay here.
00:22:27Hey.
00:22:28Don't worry about it.
00:22:30This floor...
00:22:31It was made for you to walk on.
00:22:35Mom.
00:22:37You've worked your whole life.
00:22:40You gave me everything.
00:22:41You shouldn't have to feel like a stranger in your own daughter's home.
00:22:48Both.
00:22:58Ma.
00:23:00You don't need to be nervous.
00:23:02This is your home now.
00:23:04You can retire.
00:23:07Enjoy life.
00:23:08Exactly.
00:23:11I never thought I'd be able to quit working or much less live like this.
00:23:16It's all a little overwhelming to be honest.
00:23:19By the way, Mom, what brought you to the city?
00:23:22I came for Ashley's wedding.
00:23:24Oh my God, really?
00:23:27Ashley married?
00:23:29That's Ma's biological daughter.
00:23:31We grew up together.
00:23:32I remember you said you had a sister.
00:23:34You didn't really say much about her.
00:23:36We haven't been in touch in forever.
00:23:38We lost contact after college.
00:23:41Who did she marry?
00:23:43Steven Anderson.
00:23:44Oh, the Andersons.
00:23:46I like them.
00:23:48They have a company with great growing potential.
00:23:50Good for Ashley.
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:55You seem like a good match.
00:24:05Hello?
00:24:06Hey Mom, it's me.
00:24:08Ashley.
00:24:09About earlier.
00:24:11Yeah, um, forget it.
00:24:13Hey, can you come to my house tomorrow?
00:24:15Don't get the wrong idea.
00:24:16We're just really busy with the baby and we need an extra hand.
00:24:19I assume you're not busy, right?
00:24:21Yes.
00:24:22No, yeah, no problem.
00:24:23I'm glad I can help.
00:24:26I can help.
00:24:26See my grandchild.
00:24:28Right?
00:24:29Willow?
00:24:30Yeah, sure.
00:24:31Um, but just so you know we can't pay you a lot.
00:24:34My finances are really tied up right now.
00:24:36I don't need money.
00:24:37Seeing you and my grandchild is more than enough.
00:24:42This means the world to me.
00:24:44Cool.
00:24:45I'll text you the address.
00:24:50Okay, Mom.
00:24:50It's done.
00:24:51Just start with tomorrow.
00:24:53Hmm.
00:24:54Well, she'd better do a good job.
00:24:57Or she'll answer to me.
00:25:01Lauren, I think I have to leave.
00:25:05Ashley needs me.
00:25:07Oh.
00:25:07Is she okay?
00:25:08Well, yes.
00:25:09Um, busy, you know.
00:25:12And I'm gonna go help out over there.
00:25:16Okay.
00:25:17I understand.
00:25:20Please come back soon.
00:25:24I'll send Ashley a gift.
00:25:26Something to help her with her career.
00:25:28We may not be close anymore, but we're still sisters.
00:25:31And I want you both to have the best life possible.
00:25:35Thank you, Lauren.
00:25:47Ashley.
00:25:48Can you not do one thing right for a change?
00:25:51Ashley Muller's right.
00:25:54This wedding costs a fortune.
00:25:56I, um...
00:25:57I called Aunt Nancy.
00:25:59She will cook, clean, whatever.
00:26:01It'll save us a lot of time and energy.
00:26:02A bargain bin relative.
00:26:05Is that the single thing that you can bring to this marriage?
00:26:10Sad.
00:26:12Uh, sorry.
00:26:15Hello?
00:26:17The Brooks group wants to partner with me?
00:26:21I, I get a $5 million commission?
00:26:24What?
00:26:28Mom?
00:26:29Stephen?
00:26:30The Brooks group, they want to work with me and I, I get $5 million.
00:26:34It's a miracle.
00:26:40Well, well, Ashley.
00:26:42I always knew you were a good girl, deep down.
00:26:47The Brooks group, they are the biggest corporation in the city.
00:26:52And this is going to triple our business value.
00:26:57Ashley, baby.
00:26:58I knew you could do it.
00:27:01Tell me, how in the world did you land a deal with the Brooks group?
00:27:05I, honestly, I, I don't know.
00:27:08They, they said there's going to be a banquet next week and we're going to sign the contract there.
00:27:11Oh!
00:27:12I am so proud of you, darling.
00:27:17Oh, um, Aunt Nancy.
00:27:19I'm, I'm coming.
00:27:22Uh, hey.
00:27:25So, remember, you're my Aunt Nancy.
00:27:27If you want to stay here, don't forget that.
00:27:29Got it?
00:27:40Stop right there.
00:27:42Look at your shoes.
00:27:45Covered in mud.
00:27:46You dare to walk in like that?
00:27:54Sorry.
00:27:56Sorry.
00:27:57Now, take off your shoes.
00:28:01Kneel down.
00:28:04And clean every inch that you step.
00:28:08Then you can enter.
00:28:14Mom's right, Aunt Nancy.
00:28:16Just hurry up and clean the floor.
00:28:39That's much more like it.
00:28:41No.
00:28:43No, no, no, no.
00:28:51There's my itty bitty baby.
00:28:55I'll go prepare the floor now.
00:28:59Here.
00:29:00Here.
00:29:00Here.
00:29:01Here.
00:29:01Here.
00:29:02Here.
00:29:03Here.
00:29:06Here.
00:29:19Lillow, Lillow, who is mama's girl?
00:29:28That must be my granddaughter.
00:29:31Oh, sweet child, I'd stay here forever.
00:29:36Just for her.
00:29:42Hello, Lillow.
00:29:44Don't touch my granddaughter.
00:29:47She's my granddaughter, too.
00:29:53Ashley insists you know how to cook.
00:29:57We'll see about that.
00:29:59You know, we keep a very strict inventory around here.
00:30:03What is that?
00:30:04Supposed to mean you?
00:30:07You think I'd steal something?
00:30:09Of course.
00:30:10It's in your nature.
00:30:12I almost don't blame you.
00:30:14But if anything goes missing, I will blame you.
00:30:25If just one is unaccounted for, you will regret it.
00:30:47Who said you could eat with us?
00:30:52I don't understand.
00:30:53How many times do I need to explain it to you, dollard?
00:31:00Look at you, dressed like a beggar.
00:31:04Don't eat somewhere out of my sight.
00:31:06But what is etiquette to sit here?
00:31:09She is a professional nanny.
00:31:13An entirely other breed.
00:31:14We pay top dollar.
00:31:17To have her take care of our children.
00:31:19Do you think you're in the same league?
00:31:21I just...
00:31:21Aunt Nancy, just go eat in the kitchen.
00:31:23I see.
00:31:24I see.
00:31:25I see.
00:31:40I see.
00:31:42I see.
00:31:50I see.
00:31:51I see.
00:31:52It's...
00:31:52It's a toilet.
00:31:54Is that a dog bowl?
00:31:55Sorry.
00:31:56Yeah, there's another guest room.
00:31:57You'll just have to make do.
00:31:58We used to have a puppy in here, but we got rid of it.
00:32:01Mom hated the snot.
00:32:02It shed too much.
00:32:04Really?
00:32:05It made me sleep in a toilet room, cr-crawled up next to it.
00:32:11Toilet bowl?
00:32:13Look, there's really no other room, okay?
00:32:15I mean, if you want to clear more space, you can get rid of the trash.
00:32:18There's some old towels.
00:32:20You can lay those out.
00:32:21There's even water.
00:32:22A dog could survive in here.
00:32:23I don't know what else you need.
00:32:27Ashley?
00:32:28Bring me some grapes.
00:32:29Now!
00:32:30Coming, mother!
00:32:34Oh, and don't forget to close the door.
00:32:36Mom hates the snot.
00:32:41Ashley, what happened to you?
00:32:45How can you do this to me?
00:32:52No!
00:32:54What are you talking about, Billy?
00:32:57You can't break up with me!
00:32:59Well, I don't consent!
00:33:03Oh!
00:33:05Loser!
00:33:08Shut up!
00:33:12Drug you, you piece of shit!
00:33:15What's happening?
00:33:17I heard Willow crying.
00:33:18She sounds scared.
00:33:20It's nothing!
00:33:22What's that?
00:33:26Sleeping pills.
00:33:28Are you drugging Willow?
00:33:29She's...
00:33:29She's just a baby!
00:33:31Give a crap!
00:33:32No!
00:33:33Our love is doing anything!
00:33:34You stupid bitch!
00:33:36No!
00:33:44What's going on in here?
00:33:47Ma'am, she was trying to give sleeping pills to Willow!
00:33:51I didn't, I swear!
00:34:10Please listen to me!
00:34:15I didn't!
00:34:18I didn't!
00:34:18It was her!
00:34:19I was trying to protect Willow!
00:34:22I didn't!
00:34:22Mr. and Mrs. Anderson!
00:34:24You know my credentials!
00:34:26Why would I do this?
00:34:28You disgusting creature!
00:34:31I scold you of your times?
00:34:34And you take it out of my grandchild?
00:34:36No!
00:34:37No!
00:34:38No!
00:34:41Mother!
00:34:42Her arm is bruised!
00:34:44My poor Willow!
00:34:46How could somebody do something like this to you?
00:34:49Call the police!
00:34:49Now!
00:34:52This lady must have done it while I was in the kitchen!
00:34:54That's why Willow started crying!
00:34:56I came in here because I heard her crying!
00:35:00You have to believe me!
00:35:02Liar!
00:35:03I'll strip you down myself and find the evidence!
00:35:06And then I'll hand you over to the police personally!
00:35:11I didn't do it!
00:35:13Leave me alone!
00:35:15You just pushed me!
00:35:17You dare lay a finger on me!
00:35:20Unlike a baby!
00:35:22I can fight back you filthy cunt!
00:35:28Ashley!
00:35:29You know I can never do something like this!
00:35:33Steven!
00:35:33Maybe we should just...
00:35:34Just what?
00:35:35She's fucking trying to murder our child!
00:35:37Are you seriously sliding with her right now?
00:35:39No!
00:35:40Of course not!
00:35:42Aunt Nancy!
00:35:43Just tell the truth!
00:35:45Was it you?
00:35:48Ashley!
00:35:50You don't believe me either!
00:35:52How could I do something like this?
00:35:56I'm Willis Graham!
00:35:58Shut up!
00:35:59You heard her!
00:36:01Shut up!
00:36:02Now take all your clothes off!
00:36:10Hey!
00:36:13I'll do it myself!
00:36:19I'll do it myself!
00:36:39I'm happy now, can I stop?
00:36:43No.
00:36:44Take everything off.
00:36:46Do you need some help?
00:36:47No!
00:36:48No!
00:36:55I would never hurt a child.
00:36:59Aunt Nancy, if you didn't do it, just prove it already.
00:37:02Just take your clothes off.
00:37:04What?
00:37:07You'd have me strip completely.
00:37:13Your own.
00:37:16Okay, I'll do it.
00:37:20I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:33Now, turn around.
00:37:40Definitely not my time.
00:37:44Now do you believe me?
00:37:47This proves nothing.
00:37:49Although, it is rather amusing.
00:37:53Now, admit it.
00:37:54Did you abuse Willow?
00:37:57I did not.
00:37:58Mother, maybe she really didn't do anything.
00:38:01Ashley, why do you even defend her?
00:38:03She hurt her child.
00:38:04Exactly!
00:38:05You'd take the side of a would-be murderer.
00:38:08You can choose.
00:38:10Either her, or this family.
00:38:16Aunt Nancy?
00:38:18Aunt Nancy?
00:38:20Please leave now.
00:38:26Ashley?
00:38:33Please leave now.
00:38:40Ashley?
00:38:42What is this?
00:38:45You think you could steal from us as well?
00:38:52Give that back.
00:38:54Only a few measly bills.
00:38:56Only a broke woman like you would treat this like treasure.
00:39:01Mr. and Mrs. Anderson wouldn't even bother to pick this amount up off the ground.
00:39:05I used such measly bucks to raise two daughters.
00:39:09I was able to give my children a better life out of the country and in the city.
00:39:14I am sure they are glad to be away from you, hillbilly.
00:39:19I earned every cent I made through hard work.
00:39:23You think you're better than me?
00:39:25You think my money is worthless?
00:39:27I made a happy home, earning this much every month.
00:39:32This is a month's income.
00:39:35Beautiful.
00:39:36No one here wants your paltry earnings, so get out.
00:39:42You delusional, impoverished, bitch!
00:39:58Mom?!
00:40:03What is going on here?
00:40:07Who are you people?
00:40:08How dare you treat her like this?!
00:40:12Who are you people?!
00:40:14How dare you treat her like this?!
00:40:17Forget it, Lauren.
00:40:18I just want to leave.
00:40:20Mom, did they hurt you?
00:40:23No, no.
00:40:25They're, they're my employers.
00:40:27That's right.
00:40:28She works for us.
00:40:30Who cares if we gave her a little lesson?
00:40:33And who the hell are you?
00:40:34I'm her daughter.
00:40:35Mom only had me.
00:40:39Mom only had me.
00:40:39Well, and Lauren.
00:40:41But who knows what happened to that poor foster girl.
00:40:44You liar!
00:40:47She's just a kind woman I met in the city.
00:40:50She's been helping me.
00:40:51I told her she reminded me of my daughter.
00:40:56You really like clinging to younger women.
00:41:01No children of your own to scam or did you run them off?
00:41:05Do not speak to her that way.
00:41:08Nancy is my family.
00:41:10She's still trash.
00:41:12The two of you deserve each other.
00:41:14A couple of lying beggars.
00:41:18Beggars!
00:41:20Do you know who I am?
00:41:22We don't care who you are.
00:41:24Ever heard of Brooks Group?
00:41:26The Brooks Group?
00:41:27What, do you clean their toilets or something?
00:41:31Oh, you really have no clue, do you?
00:41:35Sweetheart, I don't feel well.
00:41:38Can we just go home?
00:41:39Of course, Mom.
00:41:40I'll take you home.
00:41:41You, you pathetic little bums.
00:41:57Mom, I'm here.
00:42:03Are you feeling all right?
00:42:04What did they do to you?
00:42:08Just say the word and I'll make them pay.
00:42:10I'm, I'm, I'm okay.
00:42:12Mom, you said you were going to Ashley's to help out.
00:42:15What happened?
00:42:18They hired a nanny for, for Willow, so they didn't need me.
00:42:24And I found another job, but they don't need me either.
00:42:29Why are you putting yourself through this?
00:42:31Why won't you just stay with us?
00:42:33Honey, I've, I've already caused you enough trouble.
00:42:37No, you haven't.
00:42:39We would be honored to have you live with us.
00:42:52I want you to treat yourself.
00:42:55I mean it.
00:42:57Spend as much as you want.
00:43:00There's no limit.
00:43:03Lauren, why are you so good to me?
00:43:06I, I, I'm just your adoptive mother.
00:43:11What are you talking about?
00:43:13You're a Brooks now and you belong with your kind.
00:43:19Listen, if you hadn't taken me in back then, I probably would have starved.
00:43:25Or frozen to death on the streets.
00:43:27And you gave everything, everything you had to me and Ashley.
00:43:33You have no idea how much I've missed you.
00:43:38I love you, Ma.
00:43:39Always.
00:43:42I love you too, Lauren.
00:43:45Good.
00:43:46I'm glad we agreed.
00:43:49Oh, I meant to tell you.
00:43:52Next week, I'm taking you to a banquet.
00:43:55A banquet?
00:43:56No, no, no, I don't, I don't know about that kind of thing.
00:44:00And I, I don't mean to embarrass you.
00:44:05That's impossible.
00:44:07Because the banquet is for you.
00:44:09And if you don't want to stay here, I won't force you.
00:44:13I'm buying you a new house anyway.
00:44:23Lauren, I don't know about this whole house idea.
00:44:27I could just go back to where I'm staying.
00:44:30Ma, it's a gift I'm happy to give.
00:44:33If the roles were reversed, you would do the same.
00:44:37Please accept it.
00:44:43I'm sorry, Ma, I gotta take this call.
00:44:46Don't worry, I have someone waiting to assist you.
00:44:56My manager said Miss Brooke's mother would be coming today.
00:45:00Could this be her?
00:45:01If it is, I have to make a good impression.
00:45:09Good day, Miss. May I help you?
00:45:12I don't really know how to do this.
00:45:14I'd be happy to show you everything on offer.
00:45:17Care to sit?
00:45:18Please, this way.
00:45:20Yeah, please, yeah, have a sit.
00:45:21Yes, yes.
00:45:23Here's some water.
00:45:27Oh, here's our brochure.
00:45:29All our properties are developed by Brooke's group.
00:45:32So, platinum tier quality.
00:45:44Ashley, I am so proud of you.
00:45:48This is the finest collection in the city.
00:45:52After the Brooke's group deal closes,
00:45:54I'll be able to afford the best of the best.
00:46:00Ashley, is that your Aunt Nancy?
00:46:05What is she doing here?
00:46:07Oh, I think it's about time.
00:46:09I stopped being so nice to her.
00:46:12How much is that one?
00:46:14It's only for 1.5 million.
00:46:181.5 million dollars?
00:46:21Yes, and a great value at that.
00:46:24If you're planning to live with your family,
00:46:27I'd recommend Augustine model.
00:46:307,500 square feet, six baths, six bedrooms at 18 million dollars.
00:46:35Oh, that's far more than I need.
00:46:3818 million?
00:46:40That old hag couldn't afford that much in 18 lifetimes.
00:46:45Uh, excuse me, who are you?
00:46:48Lucy Anderson, one of your top clientele.
00:46:52And that woman.
00:46:55Regrettably, she was our maid,
00:46:57and we had to fire her for misconduct.
00:46:59She's a liar.
00:47:00Don't waste any more time on her.
00:47:02That's right.
00:47:03She's a broke nobody.
00:47:04A grifter, cosplaying affluence.
00:47:07Wait, this isn't Miss Brooke's mother?
00:47:09Shit.
00:47:10I've been wasting my time with her.
00:47:13Runcie, what are you doing?
00:47:14Just leave town and go home already.
00:47:17Ashley, do you really hate me so much?
00:47:21Am I such a disgrace to you?
00:47:24What happened to that sweet little girl I used to know?
00:47:30So what?
00:47:31I'm not good enough to even exist in this city?
00:47:35Ashley, why does she care so much about what you think?
00:47:38It's not like she's your mom or something.
00:47:43I don't know what you want from me.
00:47:44I was just being nice to you because you came all the way from the countryside.
00:47:48That's all.
00:47:50Some people, they just walk into the city and they think they belong in the city.
00:47:56The truth is, you're just a country bumkin.
00:48:01And you'll never be like us.
00:48:05You know what?
00:48:06That's right.
00:48:08I'll never be like you.
00:48:10I scrimped and saved my whole life so my family could have something better.
00:48:17You all think I'm poor.
00:48:20But I'm rich.
00:48:22In good memories of my...
00:48:25Of Ashley.
00:48:28Even if she's forgotten.
00:48:32You think I can't afford a home?
00:48:40That three-bedroom, two-bath model?
00:48:43Uh, Rivera model?
00:48:45Yes.
00:48:46I'll take it.
00:48:47Full payment.
00:48:48Now.
00:48:49Of course.
00:48:50I'll grab the weed card and the contract will be right away, okay?
00:48:56Now I'm wondering where you found this obviously fake car.
00:49:00Or maybe you stole it.
00:49:01Give it back!
00:49:02No, no, no, no, no.
00:49:03You want it now?
00:49:04You beg me.
00:49:05No, give it!
00:49:06Whatever you're doing, stop it.
00:49:08Okay, but just embarrass yourself further.
00:49:10I know you don't have that kind of money.
00:49:12You do realize that these properties were developed by the Brooks Group?
00:49:16Elite only begins to describe their clientele.
00:49:21And this fake card isn't gonna work.
00:49:23Shall we now add fraud to your list of crimes?
00:49:28Sorry, Lauren.
00:49:30Just this once, I want to be selfish to prove myself.
00:49:37I want to be selfish to prove myself.
00:49:37Sir.
00:49:39Please rent the card.
00:49:42Of course, miss.
00:49:43Right away.
00:49:44Ashley, there's no way she has that kind of money, right?
00:49:47All set.
00:49:48Please swipe a card.
00:49:49That would be 1.5 million dollars.
00:49:52Go ahead, darling.
00:49:55Swipe it.
00:49:57Mom probably doesn't even have 10 grand, let alone a mil five.
00:50:02What am I doing?
00:50:04This is crazy.
00:50:05No matter what these people say, I can't spend Lauren's money like this.
00:50:101.5 million dollars?
00:50:13I must be out of my mind.
00:50:16Actually, I'm sorry.
00:50:18I can't buy this yet.
00:50:20Seriously?
00:50:22Sorry, my friend.
00:50:23But what the fuck, lady?
00:50:24I knew she was bluffing.
00:50:26It's probably the cheapest listing and she can't even afford it.
00:50:30Enough!
00:50:30Get out of the way.
00:50:31We're here to buy.
00:50:33Show me your most expensive property.
00:50:36Absolutely.
00:50:41Ashley's about to get a huge payout, aren't you?
00:50:45And we could always leverage some funds.
00:50:47Sir, show me the most expensive listing.
00:50:51But that's 18 million.
00:50:53Your point?
00:50:55If you're not willing to contribute to this family, then why did you even marry my son?
00:51:00Ashley, you know Mother's right, as always.
00:51:03Of course, I'm sorry.
00:51:06I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:51:07I can't give up on Ashley.
00:51:10Please forgive me.
00:51:12Pardon me, sir.
00:51:13I was here first.
00:51:16The Augustine model, I believe you called it.
00:51:19I'll take it.
00:51:21Charge the card.
00:51:36Come on.
00:51:38Are you kidding me?
00:51:39The card even doesn't work.
00:51:40No, no.
00:51:41That's impossible.
00:51:42There must be money on it.
00:51:44I told you, she has no money.
00:51:47Lady, why don't you just hitchhike your way back to your little farm?
00:51:51You're getting in the way of your bettors.
00:51:54She's not buying the house.
00:51:56We are.
00:51:57But I have one condition.
00:52:00Of course.
00:52:01Whatever you need.
00:52:02She's polluting the air.
00:52:04And if you want our business, slap her.
00:52:08Twice.
00:52:09But Mother, isn't that...
00:52:11You dare defend her again?
00:52:14No.
00:52:15Of course not.
00:52:18Just a moment.
00:52:19Security!
00:52:22Slap this woman hard.
00:52:25Yes, sir.
00:52:27I meant for you to slap her, bud.
00:52:30Watching these two men do it is quite delightful.
00:52:33I'll allow it.
00:52:35Get your hands off me!
00:52:42Stop!
00:52:44What is the meaning of this?
00:52:47Sorry.
00:52:49Sorry.
00:52:50Look.
00:52:51It's the little tramp accomplice.
00:52:54Excuse me.
00:52:55We're in the middle of the situation here.
00:52:57You can make an appointment if you want to.
00:53:00Don't bother with her.
00:53:01She's a con artist like the old woman.
00:53:04Yeah.
00:53:05They're both loser nobodies.
00:53:08Exactly.
00:53:09Or are you about to claim you're some long-lost heir of the Rockefellers?
00:53:13Or perhaps a Brooks family's second cousin twice removed?
00:53:17Get rid of them now!
00:53:20Just a moment.
00:53:25Hello.
00:53:26There are three individuals causing a scene at the Riverfront sales office.
00:53:30Check the security footage to identify them.
00:53:32It's an elderly woman and a couple.
00:53:35They are blacklisted.
00:53:36Do not sell them any property at any price.
00:53:39They're permanently banned.
00:53:41Lady, you're embarrassing yourself.
00:53:44This is my curve.
00:53:45And what I say goes.
00:53:48Escort them out now!
00:53:51Ouch!
00:53:52My arm!
00:53:53Hey, Stormtrooper!
00:53:55Let her go!
00:53:56If you harm her, there'll be hell to pay.
00:54:01What on earth is going on in here?
00:54:04Who's creating such a ruckus?
00:54:09A black card.
00:54:12I can't believe that I almost didn't recognize our most VIP clientele.
00:54:18VIP or not, no one should be treated this way.
00:54:33You idiot!
00:54:35How did you not see the black card?
00:54:39Sir, please don't be fooled. The card was fake. The card didn't respond. It's a fake.
00:54:45You're a fool!
00:54:47That is a black prestige card. There's no pen. There's no limit.
00:54:51Regular machines can't even read it.
00:54:54You. You have managed to insult our most VIP clientele.
00:55:00You are fired!
00:55:02Sir!
00:55:03Oh, please. Just...
00:55:09Um...
00:55:12Huh?
00:55:16Uh... Madam.
00:55:18Everything has gone through perfectly.
00:55:21The property now officially belongs to you and we can begin processing your paperwork.
00:55:26Congratulations.
00:55:32I don't know what to say.
00:55:34Well, I don't have to say anything.
00:55:42What just happened?
00:55:44Oh my god. Are they part of the Brooks group?
00:55:53This can't be real. No way mom knows anyone in the Brooks family. But that woman she met, she's clearly
00:56:00loaded.
00:56:01Who is she?
00:56:04Listen, everybody. My Aunt Nancy has never left the countryside before. There is no way she has any connection to
00:56:11the Brooks group.
00:56:12This woman was sleeping on our floor, begging to be our maid and...
00:56:17Yeah. She'll lie about anything.
00:56:20Yeah. Truly, utterly pathetic.
00:56:22You absolutely have zero clue. I try to be patient, but...
00:56:29Shut your bitch mouth.
00:56:33I just know who you are. A low-class whore. Pretending to be part of this Brooks circle. We're the
00:56:42ones that have signed with the Brooks group.
00:56:44Don't say. You're really working with the Brooks group.
00:56:49Of course. I know you wouldn't know what it means to partner with them, but we're going to be the
00:56:57richest people in the city.
00:57:00Yeah. Even if you somehow could afford this place, you're still much lower than we are.
00:57:07Steven, show them. We're going to buy the second most expensive property on your list.
00:57:13Mother, let's not be hasty. Until I sign, can we really afford to...
00:57:19Silence, child! This old bitch has bought the most expensive property on the list, and now you're telling us that
00:57:26we can't buy the second.
00:57:29Sorry. Let's just buy it.
00:57:31Swipe the card.
00:57:39Uh, yes, sir. Yes, sir. Understood, sir. I'm afraid I'm unable to sell you this property. Or any other property
00:57:48for that matter.
00:57:52Wait, what? Why?
00:57:54You know, refusing to sell to us.
00:57:58You can't do that. Well, Sue.
00:58:00Well, we are a private business, and therefore we have the power to choose our own clients.
00:58:05Perhaps you should be asking yourself, who was it that I pissed off?
00:58:10What? That doesn't make any sense. We didn't do anything wrong.
00:58:14My mom is a nobody. Pissing her off doesn't count.
00:58:17Well, that's something that you can contemplate on your own time and somewhere else.
00:58:23Now, get the hell out of here before I have security throw you out.
00:58:28Sell or don't sell. We don't care. But you'll regret it.
00:58:33Once this Brooks Group deal has gone through, you're gonna come begging back to us.
00:58:38Yeah, you all just wait. Come on. Let's go.
00:58:42I'm looking forward to seeing how things go with the Brooks Group.
00:58:46And I look forward to shoving the deal down your fucking throat.
00:58:51Wherever you are, I'll find you.
00:59:08Hey, what's wrong?
00:59:10I don't know. I feel like Mom's hiding something from me.
00:59:16She's probably just overwhelmed. This is all new to her. And she has been through a lot.
00:59:24You know, maybe when she gets to the banquet and she sees Ashley,
00:59:27and sees the surprise that you planned for her,
00:59:30she'll realize that everything's gonna be okay.
00:59:32Yeah. Maybe you're right.
00:59:50If it's not, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, I hear you are working with the Brooks Group now. It's quite impressive.
00:59:56They say this whole banquet isn't your owner, Miss Anderson.
01:00:00Our little Ashley is quite exquisite.
01:00:04No, no, not at all. I am just so grateful to have the opportunity to show the world who the
01:00:09Anderson family is and all we're capable of.
01:00:12Miss Anderson, we hope you'll remember us. And we won't forget you.
01:00:16Oh, thank you. Thank you. Of course.
01:00:33Oh, Lauren. I really shouldn't be here. I'm not dressed right. I don't belong in a place like this.
01:00:41Mom, you belong here more than anyone else. This banquet is for you.
01:00:51Damn it. It's the office. I have to take this.
01:00:56Mom, go on inside without me, okay? William will be right here.
01:01:01No, no, no. I can't go in alone.
01:01:04You'll be fine. You deserve this. You deserve to be seen.
01:01:15I'll be right back.
01:01:28Who's that?
01:01:29Dunno. Never saw her before.
01:01:33She's here? Stalker. That old bag has no shame.
01:01:38She's beyond belief.
01:01:43Nancy.
01:01:46Well, hello there. You look a little thirsty. Allow me.
01:02:06I'm sorry.
01:02:10I'm sorry.
01:02:23You think everything about me is cheap, don't you?
01:02:28As a matter of fact, I do. You could be dressed head to toe in Prada and you'd still be
01:02:34cheap underneath.
01:02:34No. No, not cheap.
01:02:37What?
01:02:40Do you even know what kind of an event this is?
01:02:45Stop following me.
01:02:47Go away.
01:02:48Who even is she?
01:02:50Doesn't look like someone Miss Brooks would invite.
01:02:53Who is she?
01:02:54She's just a maid we hired to clean floors and toilets.
01:02:59God knows how she's snuck in here.
01:03:01I am not a maid.
01:03:04Oh, that's right. Silly me, I forgot.
01:03:08We fired you.
01:03:09Now you're just an unemployed beggar that dresses up to make herself feel more important.
01:03:16Mom.
01:03:22Enough.
01:03:24I was invited.
01:03:26My Miss Brooks herself.
01:03:29She's my daughter!
01:03:33My adopted daughter.
01:03:37You really are crazy.
01:03:40You're totally delusional.
01:03:45Sorry, you're Miss Brooks's mother, then I must be her biological mother.
01:03:53Oh my god, does that make us sisters?
01:03:58Is she for real?
01:04:00Dude, I know, right?
01:04:01She's nuts.
01:04:02Like someone that poor would even be allowed to adopt anyone?
01:04:06I know, right?
01:04:07I didn't even know Miss Brooks was adopted.
01:04:09That lady's either a liar or a loony.
01:04:13You people need to understand.
01:04:15This woman is dangerous.
01:04:18She's not just vain.
01:04:19She is vicious.
01:04:21She tried to kill my granddaughter.
01:04:33That's not true.
01:04:36It wasn't me.
01:04:47No!
01:04:48My bracelet!
01:04:49It's gone!
01:04:51It was on my wrist earlier!
01:04:56You.
01:04:58You have always been a thief and a fraud.
01:05:01Ladies and gentlemen, check your bags and your jewellery.
01:05:06Someone here has got sticky fingers.
01:05:09She's lying.
01:05:11I'm not a thief!
01:05:20Oops.
01:05:22Accident.
01:05:23Let's take a look inside your bag.
01:05:35Let's take a look inside your bag.
01:05:39You can't help yourself, can you?
01:05:42Gaze upon this damnable wretch and curse her!
01:05:51Please!
01:05:53Why are you doing this to me?
01:05:56Don't try to play the victim.
01:05:58Everyone here saw it with their own eyes.
01:06:02Ashley, your aunt is the worst.
01:06:04It's not true.
01:06:06I didn't do it.
01:06:08Ashley, you have to believe me.
01:06:11You just came here to ruin Ashley's big moment.
01:06:16Do you really think she's going to defend you now?
01:06:18Mom's right.
01:06:20I swear, if you run things with Miss Brooks and cost me this deal, I will never forgive you.
01:06:25Ashley, do you think I'm a thief, Tim?
01:06:27Stop talking!
01:06:29You are so selfish!
01:06:31Why do you have to come and crash the most important day of my life?
01:06:34Leave.
01:06:35Me.
01:06:36Alone.
01:06:37Maybe I should teach you a lesson on behalf of Miss Brooks.
01:06:41I'm sure she'd love to see it.
01:06:45Steven, hold her down!
01:06:47Stop!
01:06:48Don't do this!
01:06:50You enjoy being a thief so much.
01:06:54I'll give you the thief's mark.
01:06:56I'm just a little bit more.
01:06:58I'm in trouble as well.
01:06:59Ashley, please help me!
01:07:07Enough!
01:07:11Enough!
01:07:17Nancy, I'm sorry I'm late.
01:07:19Don't worry, I'm here now, okay?
01:07:22William, I made a mess.
01:07:24It's okay.
01:07:25Who's that?
01:07:26That suit's so expensive.
01:07:28Probably Miss Brooks' guest.
01:07:31Now it all makes sense.
01:07:33I wondered why she was so emboldened today.
01:07:36But she's found herself a sugar daddy.
01:07:39Or should I say, a sugar son!
01:07:42Yeah, she's old enough to be his mum.
01:07:45These people are monsters.
01:07:47Nazis enjoyed so much.
01:07:49It's unforgivable.
01:08:01How dare you hate me!
01:08:14The fuck man?
01:08:16You people are deranged.
01:08:18None of you deserve to be here.
01:08:24How dare you!
01:08:26Do you know who I am?
01:08:29Oh.
01:08:30I know exactly who you are.
01:08:32You're the people that have been abusing Nancy this whole time.
01:08:35Oh.
01:08:37So what?
01:08:38People like her?
01:08:40She's a nobody.
01:08:41Pathetic.
01:08:42People like her deserve to be stepped on.
01:08:45That's what they're there for.
01:08:47Miss Empire.
01:08:48We're the guests of Miss Brooks.
01:08:50You don't wanna fuck with us!
01:08:51Yeah, I don't care who you are or what your relationship is with my-
01:08:55With her.
01:08:56I suggest you leave.
01:08:58Well, since none of you have any remorse, we won't go easy on you.
01:09:03You're threatening us.
01:09:04Do you know the power of the Brooks family?
01:09:07We are Miss Brooks' guest of honor.
01:09:10Mom!
01:09:13Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks has finalized the project agreement.
01:09:17Here's your contract.
01:09:19It just needs your signature.
01:09:20See?
01:09:21I warned you.
01:09:23I told you to leave.
01:09:24And now you're fucked.
01:09:28Sorry, Mom.
01:09:29But this contract means everything to me.
01:09:34Cancel the deal and cut ties with the entire family.
01:09:39Immediately.
01:09:41Uh, sir, this was Miss Brooks' directive.
01:09:45I-I can't override her decision.
01:09:47I'm sorry.
01:09:48What happened?
01:09:50Don't have quite the pull you thought you had?
01:09:53Welcome to reality, boy.
01:09:57We already understand no one fucked with us, got it?
01:10:04Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks made an inspired choice in you.
01:10:08You're truly impressive.
01:10:10I'm still so young.
01:10:18I think you owe me an apology.
01:10:26Don't touch me.
01:10:27Don't touch you?
01:10:29Or what?
01:10:30Nancy!
01:10:31What?
01:10:31Tsk!
01:10:32Tsk!
01:10:34Tsk!
01:10:38Nancy!
01:10:39Uh!
01:10:42Ah!
01:10:44Ah!
01:10:46Ah!
01:11:05Who did this?
01:11:18You. You're the guest I invited. You're Ashley. You're that woman in the sales office.
01:11:26Were you stalking us too?
01:11:28You see, I told you. These three, they're in it together. The washed up old hag, the wild
01:11:35little slut and that disgusting gimp. All here to stir up trouble.
01:11:40Uh oh. That's Lorem Proofs.
01:11:43Oh my god. And you heard what that woman just called her?
01:11:47I don't think they actually know Ms. Brooks.
01:11:52What is wrong with you people? They're all fake. Call the police Steven.
01:12:08How dare you publicly humiliate Ms. Brooks.
01:12:11Ms. Brooks.
01:12:16Ashley Morgan?
01:12:17Yeah, that's me.
01:12:20I can't believe it. You really don't recognize me?
01:12:24Shhh. I don't know.
01:12:28Look at me. You stand here mocking her, humiliating her, shoving her around in public and yet you feel nothing.
01:12:39I know you really want this contract, Ashley, but I don't want to give it to you anymore.
01:12:45No, you can't do that Ms. Brooks.
01:12:48Oh wait, I...
01:12:51I am so stupid. I mean, Ms. Brooks, of course they recognize you. I mean, everyone knows your family.
01:12:58Enough!
01:13:00Ms. Brooks, we were wrong. We see that now. Please have some mercy. We didn't mean any harm. Let us
01:13:07make it up to you, alright?
01:13:11Don't play innocent with me. I heard every word you said to Nancy.
01:13:17And I'm sure you all said and did worse when you were alone with her.
01:13:21Ms. Brooks, I'm sorry. I can see we got off on the wrong foot.
01:13:24Look, we know we messed up, but the project, that's business, right?
01:13:29Forget the contract. Forget business. What about family?
01:13:35Why are you saying this to me?
01:13:37I'll tell you. But first, answer me this.
01:13:44Who is she?
01:13:50Who is that woman?
01:13:54Say it, Ashley Morgan.
01:13:57Right here, in front of everyone.
01:14:01Tell everyone who this woman really is.
01:14:07Say it, Ashley. Who is she?
01:14:14Ms. Brooks.
01:14:17I don't know what you're talking about.
01:14:20But it should have nothing to do with our contract.
01:14:24We're professionals.
01:14:29I... I can't handle this anymore.
01:14:33I shouldn't be here.
01:14:34I wasn't made for this big city life.
01:14:39I've never been anything but worthless.
01:14:43You can't let them treat you like this.
01:14:45You're not what they say.
01:14:47You're the most precious person I've ever known.
01:14:51Ms. Brooks, please just let her leave.
01:14:54Don't allow her to ruin the evening.
01:14:58Our evening?
01:15:00Is that all you care about?
01:15:01The contract?
01:15:03Money?
01:15:04Ms. Brooks, I'm sorry, but I...
01:15:06Ashley, you kicked Nancy out of your wedding.
01:15:10You humiliated her while buying a house.
01:15:14And now you just stand here watching as your mother-in-law bullies and abuses her.
01:15:21Not even a stranger deserves to be treated like this.
01:15:25But she's not a stranger, is she?
01:15:28Tell me.
01:15:30Who took care of you when you were sick?
01:15:34Who stayed up with you when you had a nightmare?
01:15:38Who gave up everything?
01:15:41Everything!
01:15:42To give you a better life.
01:15:46She's not some random woman.
01:15:49She's not even your aunt.
01:15:51She's the reason you exist.
01:15:53So why is it so hard to admit that she is your mother?
01:16:01She's Mrs. Anderson's mother?
01:16:04Her mother was right there and she refused to acknowledge her.
01:16:09And she even humiliated her in public.
01:16:12How terrible.
01:16:13How do you know that?
01:16:19Wait.
01:16:25Oh my god.
01:16:28You're Lauren?
01:16:32She's your mother, Ashley?
01:16:34You told me that she was traveling the world.
01:16:37That she wasn't even in the country.
01:16:39You told me that she was just a distant aunt.
01:16:43Ashley, you lied to us?
01:16:45Your mother is just a dirty old woman?
01:16:47Ashley, this woman raised you.
01:16:52Gave her all for you.
01:16:55Provided a home full of love.
01:16:58And you denied her.
01:17:02Like she was nothing.
01:17:04Ungrateful brat.
01:17:06If she would betray her mother like that.
01:17:09How could anyone ever trust her?
01:17:11Honestly.
01:17:12I feel bad for that poor woman.
01:17:14Alright.
01:17:16You all asked for this.
01:17:22Yes.
01:17:28I feel bad for her.
01:17:35I feel sorry.
01:17:38I'm sorry.
01:17:38I'm sorry.
01:17:39I'm so sorry.
01:17:40Please, please give me another chance.
01:17:43Miss Bruce, we were wrong.
01:17:45We were very wrong.
01:17:48We are decent people, really.
01:17:51I promise, from now on,
01:17:53I'm gonna treat Nancy with the most utter respect.
01:17:57I'm not the one you should be kneeling to.
01:18:13Oops. Accidents.
01:18:15Stephen!
01:18:19Stephen!
01:18:20Stephen!
01:18:21Help me!
01:18:23Leave me out of this.
01:18:25Stephen!
01:18:27I didn't ask for this.
01:18:28I didn't do anything.
01:18:30Stephen!
01:18:31But you did ask for this.
01:18:34You son of a bitch.
01:18:52Mommy...
01:18:55I know I fucked up.
01:18:59I've just cut up in all of this...
01:19:02It's finished all over.
01:19:06I was playing it.
01:19:08I see that now.
01:19:09I was trying to stop.
01:19:12It could change for you and for Willow and your granddaughter.
01:19:21Mother, I didn't know it was yours.
01:19:24I promise from now on I'll treat you like my own mother.
01:19:34What a wild ride.
01:19:38You know what it's like for women of our age.
01:19:41We have to keep our appearances.
01:19:44Come on, let's not dwell in the past.
01:19:47Let's be friends, dear.
01:19:51Whatever you decide, Mum.
01:19:54I'm with you.
01:20:21Ashley, I can see I've been a source of shame for you.
01:20:27And that's a hard thing for a mother to accept.
01:20:39Yes, I come from the countryside.
01:20:44And yes, I've led a humble life, which some might consider poor.
01:20:54Since I've come to town, I've been harassed, mistreated, lied to, and lied about.
01:21:11Ashley, I can see how I've embarrassed you.
01:21:14I'm not the kind of mother you want.
01:21:17She is.
01:21:18I've made peace with that.
01:21:21And I'll be okay, really.
01:21:24But from now on, you are not my daughter.
01:21:38No.
01:21:40Mom, please don't do that.
01:21:43No.
01:21:45Mom, please don't do that.
01:21:47Mom, please, please wait.
01:21:54Ashley Anderson and the entire Anderson family are blacklisted from Brooks Group's projects.
01:22:01I'll personally ensure every one of our partners know, no one works with you ever again.
01:22:08Furthermore, I will have my lawyer investigate all that you did to my mother.
01:22:14And you will be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
01:22:21No.
01:22:33This can't be real.
01:22:35We're finished.
01:22:37Ruiz.
01:22:38Stupid girl.
01:22:40This is your fault.
01:22:42Destroy the family!
01:22:44I will kill you!
01:22:46I will kill you!
01:22:55Mom, let's go home.
01:23:18This was your favourite.
01:23:20Try it.
01:23:21I used your recipe.
01:23:23Should we go to the gardens this afternoon?
01:23:24I remember you said you wanted to plant some roses.
01:23:31Both.
01:23:32You know, being here with you, it's more than I could ever ask for.
01:23:38Here.
01:23:56Let's have a sip.
01:24:06Good job.
01:24:07Good job.
01:24:11Do you know this lady, Willow?
01:24:13Is she like your mom?
01:24:15Of course not.
01:24:16My mom's on vacation in Europe.
01:24:18No, I'm not Willow.
01:24:20I am right here.
01:24:21You're mistaken, ma'am.
01:24:22I've never seen you before in my life.
01:24:24Yeah, let's go in this case.
01:24:25Let's go to the coffee shop.
01:24:26Just have some break.
01:24:33Madam, isn't that your daughter Miss Anderson?
01:24:36Would you like to go say hello?
01:24:38No need.
01:24:39I only have one daughter.
01:24:41Now let's go home.
01:24:59If you're my mother.
