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! Ladies, 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.
00:00:43So get out before I drag you out.
00:00:47Wait, stop. Hold on a second.
00:00:50Miss Anderson.
00:00:53Ashley.
00:00:58Mom.
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.
00:01:24And...
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. Can I just watch?
00:01:46No, Mom.
00:01:47I told everyone that you were traveling abroad and you just couldn't make it.
00:01:52Now you just show up out of the blue.
00:01:54How am I even going to explain that?
00:01:58I'm sorry. I 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 and 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...
00:02:32My Aunt Nancy.
00:02:33She 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,
00:02:48you're 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.
00:03:25Well...
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.
00:03:58And she may have a humble background.
00:04:00But 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 clothes set.
00:04:18Wait, 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, I'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'm having a word with your manager about hiring better staff.
00:05:23Look at you.
00:05:24Filthy.
00:05:25Ma'am, I'm not part of the staff.
00:05:28Please, you don't expect me to believe that you're on my list.
00:05:32Lucy, actually, yes.
00:05:33She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:37And with you, Lucy, it doesn't look like she belongs here.
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.
00:06:08But 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.
00:06:47Somebody had to teach her a lesson.
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.
00:07:22Oh, and a scarf that smells like the bottom of a stable.
00:07:35Shall I show you what we do with the trash?
00:07:40No!
00:07:42What are you doing?
00:07:44Stop!
00:07:45Somebody help me!
00:07:47Please!
00:07:48I told you.
00:07:50But I can do what the fuck I love.
00:07:56I'm Ashley's...
00:07:59Mother!
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?
00:08:23Of 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.
00:08:41She 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?
00:09:01Are you gonna murder me in public?
00:09:03Why not?
00:09:04Who'd even notice if you were gone?
00:09:07Come on!
00:09:13Mother?
00:09:17Mother?
00:09:22Mother.
00:09:24Ashley, do you know this woman?
00:09:27So why wasn't she on the guest list?
00:09:30That's my...
00:09:32A distant relative.
00:09:34Aunt Nancy.
00:09:35She 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?
00:10:06Auntie?
00:10:17I...
00:10:18I...
00:10:19I never wanted any of this.
00:10:21I just wanted...
00:10:23to see Ashley happy.
00:10:25Happy?
00:10:26With you here?
00:10:30Well...
00:10:35Maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:44Maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:49With you...
00:10:50Is she?
00:10:51It's won't.

00:20:44I'm Lauren's fiance

00:20:54Let's get comfortable

00:21:09Yes mom
00:21:10I'm doing well

00:21:14Now that's more like it
00:21:18Come on
00:21:19Let's go inside
00:21:22And chill
00:21:26What a disaster of a wedding you've pulled off
00:21:30Embarrassing
00:21:31Chaotic
00:21:32You're pouring up on your own
00:21:34And you bring in this distant aunt
00:21:36To humiliate me
00:21:38Mother I'm sorry
00:21:40I
00:21:40No sorry doesn't cut it
00:21:42You barely earn anything
00:21:45And you can't even afford a goddamn housekeeper
00:21:48I could have asked my Whitney to help her around the house
00:21:51She'll do it for real cheap
00:21:53And she'll do whatever you want
00:21:55All right
00:21:56But
00:21:57If she doesn't make this place sparkle
00:21:59She 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
00:22:19I should just stay here
00:22:28Hey
00:22:28Don't worry about her
00:22:30This floor
00:22:31It was made for you to walk on
00:22:35Mom
00:22:38You'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
00:22:47Thank you
00:22:48Both
00:22:58Ma
00:22:59You don't need to be nervous
00:23:01This is your home now
00:23:04You can retire
00:23:06Enjoy life
00:23:08Exactly
00:23:09Thank you
00:23:10I
00:23:11I never thought I'd be able to quit working
00:23:13Or much less live like this
00:23:16It's all a little overwhelming to be honest
00:23:19By the way
00:23:20Mom
00:23:20What brought you to the city?
00:23:22I came for Ashley's wedding
00:23:24Oh my god
00:23:25Really?
00:23:27Ashley?
00:23:28Married?
00:23:29That's Ma's biological daughter
00:23:31We grew up together
00:23:32I remember you said you had a sister
00:23:34But you 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
00:23:47They 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, 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
00:24:18And we need an extra hand
00:24:19I assume you're not busy, right?
00:24:21Yes
00:24:22No, yeah
00:24:22No problem
00:24:23I'm glad I can help
00:24:26And I can see my grandchild
00:24:28Right?
00:24:29Willow?
00:24:30Yeah, sure
00:24:31Um, but just so you know
00:24:33We can't pay you a lot
00:24:34My finances are really tied up right now
00:24:36I don't need money
00:24:37I
00:24:37Seeing you and my grandchild
00:24:39Is more than enough
00:24:41Uh, I
00:24:42This means the world to me
00:24:44Cool
00:24:44I'll text you the address
00:24:50Okay mom, it's done
00:24:51Just start with tomorrow
00:24:53Hmm
00:24:54Well, she'd better do a good job
00:24:56Or she'll answer to me
00:25:01Lauren, I
00:25:02I think I have to leave
00:25:04Ashley needs me
00:25:06Oh
00:25:07Is she okay?
00:25:09Well yes
00:25:09Um
00:25:10Busy, you know
00:25:11And I'm
00:25:13I'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
00:25:30But we're still sisters
00:25:31And I want you both to have the best life possible
00:25:34Thank 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
00:25:56I called Aunt Nancy
00:25:58She will cook, clean, whatever
00:26:00It'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
00:26:12Sorry
00:26:15Hello?
00:26:17The Brooks group wants to partner with me?
00:26:21I, I get a five million dollar commission?
00:26:24What?
00:26:28Mom, Stephen
00:26:29The Brooks group, they want to work with me
00:26:32And I, I get five million dollars
00:26:34It's a miracle
00:26:36Well, well, Ashley
00:26:41I always knew you were a good girl
00:26:45Deep down
00:26:48The Brooks group
00:26:49They 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
00:27:01Tell me, how in the world
00:27:02Did you land a deal with the Brooks group?
00:27:05I, honestly, I, I don't know
00:27:07They, they said there's going to be a banquet next week
00:27:10And we're going to sign the contract there
00:27:11Oh, I am so proud of you, darling
00:27:17Oh, um, Aunt Nancy
00:27:19I'm, I'm coming
00:27:21Uh, hey
00:27:25So, remember, you're my Aunt Nancy
00:27:28If you want to stay here, don't forget that, got it?
00:27:40Stop right there
00:27:42Look at your shoes
00:27:44Covered in mud
00:27:46You dare to walk in like that?
00:27:54Sorry, so, sorry
00:27:57Now, take off your shoes
00:28:00Kneel down
00:28:03And clean every inch that you step
00:28:07Then you can enter
00:28:14Mom's right, Aunt Nancy
00:28:16If you just hurry up and clean the floor
00:28:40That's much more like it
00:28:52There's my itty-bitty baby
00:28:55I'll go prepare the pony
00:29:19Window, window, who's mama's girl?
00:29:27That must be my granddaughter
00:29:30Oh, sweet child
00:29:33I'd stay here forever
00:29:36Just for her
00:29:42Hello, Willow
00:29:44Don't touch my grandual top
00:29:46She's my granddaughter, too
00:29:54Ashley insists you know how to cook
00:29:56We'll see about that
00:29:58You know, we keep a very strict inventory around here
00:30:03What is that?
00:30:05Supposed to mean you
00:30:06You think I'd steal something?
00:30:09Of course
00:30:10It's in your nature
00:30:11I almost don't blame you
00:30:14But if anything goes missing
00:30:17I will blame you
00:30:25If just one
00:30:29Is unaccounted for
00:30:31You 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?
00:30:59Dullard
00:31:00Look at you
00:31:01Dressed like a beggar
00:31:03Don't eat somewhere
00:31:04Out of my sight
00:31:06But what is etiquette to sit here?
00:31:10She is a professional nanny
00:31:13An entirely other breed
00:31:14We pay top dollar
00:31:16To have her take care of our children
00:31:18Do 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
00:31:49Ashley?
00:31:51This is...
00:31:52This is a toilet
00:31:53Is that a dog bowl?
00:31:55Sorry, yeah
00:31:56There's no other gastro
00:31:57You'll just have to make do
00:31:58We used to have a puppy in here
00:31:59But we got rid of it
00:32:01Mom hated the smell
00:32:02It shed too much
00:32:04Really?
00:32:05It make me sleep
00:32:06In a toilet room
00:32:07Crawled next to it
00:32:11Toilet bowl?
00:32:13There's really no other room
00:32:14Okay?
00:32:15I mean
00:32:16If you want to clear more space
00:32:17You can get rid of the trash
00:32:18There's small 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 smell
00:32:40Ashley
00:32:42What happened to you?
00:32:45How can you do this to me?
00:32:53What are you talking about, Billy?
00:32:57You can't break up with me
00:32:59Well
00:33:01I don't consent
00:33:05Loser!
00:33:11Drugs you piece of shit
00:33:15What's happening?
00:33:17I heard Willow crying
00:33:18She sounds scared
00:33:19It's nothing
00:33:22What's that?
00:33:26Sleeping pills
00:33:27Are you drugging Willow?
00:33:29She's
00:33:29She's just a baby
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 I walked in and
00:33:56She's trying to hurt my grandchild
00:33:59What's going on in here
00:34:02Ashley your aunt has tried to poison Willow. She's giving sleeping pills to a baby. I
00:34:09Didn't I swear. Please listen to me. I
00:34:16Didn't
00:34:18It was her I was trying to protect Willow
00:34:22Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, you know my credentials. Why would I do this?
00:34:28She disgusting creature. I scold you a few times and you take it out of my grandchild
00:34:36No, no, no, no
00:34:41Mother her arm is bruised
00:34:43My poor Willow
00:34:46How could somebody do something like this to you?
00:34:49Call the police now
00:34:52This lady must have done it while I was in the kitchen. That's why Willow started crying
00:34:56I came in here because I heard her crying. You have to believe me
00:35:01You liar
00:35:03I'll strip you down myself and find the evidence and then I'll hand you over to the police personally
00:35:11I didn't do it. Leave me alone
00:35:15You just push me you dare lay a finger on me
00:35:21Unlike a baby. I can fight back you filthy cunt
00:35:28Actually, you know I could never do something like this even
00:35:33Maybe we should just just what she's fucking trying to murder our child. Are you seriously sliding with her right
00:35:39now?
00:35:39No, of 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 Willow's grave
00:35:58Shut up
00:35:58You hurt her
00:36:00Shut up
00:36:02Now take all your clothes off
00:36:05You hurt me
00:36:11I am it
00:36:14We will die
00:36:19mama
00:36:20She has stabbed her
00:36:32Woman
00:36:33Who wounds
00:36:40I'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!
00:36:51No!
00:36:53No!
00:36:55I would never hurt a child.
00:36:59Aunt Nancy, if you didn't do it, just prove it already.
00:37:02Take your clothes off.
00:37:03What?
00:37:06You'd have me strip completely.
00:37:13Your arm.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:17I'll do it.
00:37:20I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:35Now, turn around.
00:37:40Definitely not my dark home.
00:37:44Now do you believe me?
00:37:46This proves nothing.
00:37:49Although, his father amusing.
00:37:53Now, admit it.
00:37:55Did you abuse Willow?
00:37:57I don't know.
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?
00:38:33Get out, you vile vagabond.
00:38:41What's this?
00:38:49You 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.
00:39:15I 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.
00:39:30Earning this much every month.
00:39:32This is a month's income.
00:39:36The tipple.
00:39:37No one here wants your paltry earnings.
00:39:41So get out, you delusional, impoverished bitch!
00:39:58Ma?
00:40:03What is going on here?
00:40:07Who are you people?
00:40:09Dare you treat her like this?
00:40:12Who are you people?
00:40:14Dare you treat her like this?
00:40:17Forget it, Lauren.
00:40:19I just want to leave.
00:40:21Ma?
00:40:21Did they hurt you?
00:40:23No.
00:40:24No.
00:40:25They're...
00:40:25They'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.
00:40:35What?
00:40:37Mom only had me.
00:40:39Well, and Lauren.
00:40:41But who knows what happened to that poor foster girl.
00:40:45You liar!
00:40:47She's just a kind woman I met in the city.
00:40:50She's been helping me.
00:40:52I 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?
00:41:28Do you clean their toilets or something?
00:41:31You really have no clue, do you?
00:41:35Sweetheart.
00:41:36I don't feel well.
00:41:38Can we just go home?
00:41:39Of course, Ma.
00:41:40I'll take you home.
00:41:41You.
00:41:42You pathetic little bums.
00:41:57I'm here.
00:41:59Oh.
00:42:01Oh.
00:42:02Oh.
00:42:03Oh.
00:42:03Oh.
00:42:03Are you feeling alright?
00:42:04What did they do to you?
00:42:07Oh.
00:42:08Just say the word and I'll make them pay.
00:42:10I-I-I'm okay.
00:42:12Ma.
00:42:13You said you were going to Ashley's to help out.
00:42:15Well.
00:42:15What happened?
00:42:18They hired a nanny for-for Willow so they didn't need me and I found another job.
00:42:26But 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?
00:42:32Honey, I've-I've already caused you enough trouble.
00:42:37Oh.
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.
00:42:58Spend as much as you want.
00:43:00There's no limit.
00:43:03Lauren.
00:43:04Why are you so good to me?
00:43:06I-I'm just your adoptive mother.
00:43:11What are you talking about?
00:43:13You're at Brooks now and you belong with your kind.
00:43:19Listen.
00:43:20If you hadn't taken me in back then, I probably would have starved.
00:43:25I would have frozen to death on the streets.
00:43:27And you gave everything.
00:43:30Everything you had.
00:43:32To me and Ashley, you have no idea how much I've missed you.
00:43:38I love you, Ma.
00:43:40Always.
00:43:42I love you too, Lauren.
00:43:45Good.
00:43:46I'm glad we agree.
00:43:49Oh, I meant to tell you.
00:43:52Next week, I'm taking you to a banquet.
00:43:55A banquet?
00:43:57No, I don't-I don't know about that kind of thing.
00:44:00And I'd-I'd only embarrass you.
00:44:05That's impossible.
00:44:06That's impossible.
00:44:06Because 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.
00:44:44I gotta take this call.
00:44:46Don't worry.
00:44:46I 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.
00:45:21Yeah, 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.
00:45:53After the Brooke's group deal closes, I'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?
00:46:07I think it's about time I 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, I'd recommend...
00:46:307,500 square feet, 6 baths, 6 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.
00:46:46Excuse 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, and we had to fire her for misconduct.
00:46:59She's a liar.
00:47:01Don't waste any more time on her.
00:47:02That's right.
00:47:03She's a broke nobody.
00:47:05A 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.
00:47:12Monty, 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? I'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.
00:47:45I 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.
00:48:16You all think I'm poor.
00:48:19But 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.
00:48:50What?
00:48:50I'll grab the real car 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.
00:49:03You want it now?
00:49:04You beg me.
00:49:05Whatever you're doing, stop it.
00:49:08Okay?
00:49:09But 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?
00:49:17Elite only begins to describe their clientele.
00:49:20And this fake card isn't gonna work.
00:49:24Shall 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.
00:49:37Sir.
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.
00:49:59Let 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.
00:50:21Seriously?
00:50:22Sorry, my friend, but 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?
00:50:44And we can always leverage some funds.
00:50:49Show me the most expensive listing.
00:50:51But that's 18 million.
00:50:54Your 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.
00:51:01As 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.
00:51:15The Augustine model, I believe you called it.
00:51:19I'll take it.
00:51:21Charge the card.
00:51:32Charge the card.
00:51:36Come on.
00:51:38Are you kidding me?
00:51:39The card even doesn't work.
00:51:41No, no.
00:51:42That's impossible.
00:51:43There 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 betters.
00:51:54She's not buying the house.
00:51:56We are.
00:51:57But, I have one condition.
00:52:00Of course. Whatever you need.
00:52:02She's polluting the air.
00:52:05And if you want our business, slap her.
00:52:08Twice.
00:52:10But, Mother, isn't that...
00:52:11You dare defend her again?
00:52:14No. Of course not.
00:52:17Just a moment. Security!
00:52:22Slap this woman hard.
00:52:25Yes, sir.
00:52:27I meant for you to slap her, but...
00:52:30Watching these two men do it is quite delightful.
00:52:34Unallowed.
00:52:35Get your hands off me!
00:52:41Stop!
00:52:44What is the meaning of this?
00:52:48Sorry.
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.
00:53:10Or 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.
00:53:33It'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, and 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, they'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.
00:54:34You idiot!
00:54:36How did you not see the black card?
00:54:39Sir, please don't be fooled.
00:54:42The card was fake.
00:54:44The card didn't respond.
00:54:45It's a fake.
00:54:45You're a fool!
00:54:47That is a black prestige card.
00:54:49There's no pen.
00:54:50There's no limit.
00:54:51Regular machines can't even read it.
00:54:54You.
00:54:55You have managed to insult our most VIP clientele.
00:55:00You are a fighter!
00:55:03No, please, sir.
00:55:05Just...
00:55:08Uh...
00:55:15Uh...
00:55:16Uh...
00:55:16Uh...
00:55:17Uh...
00:55:17Uh...
00:55:18Everything has gone through perfectly.
00:55:21The property now officially belongs to you and we can begin processing your paperwork.
00:55:27Congratulations!
00:55:31I don't know what to say.
00:55:34I don't know what to say.
00:55:35Well, I don't have to say anything.
00:55:42What just happened?
00:55:44Oh my god.
00:55:46Are they part of the Brooks group?
00:55:52This can't be real.
00:55:55No way mom knows anyone in the Brooks family.
00:55:57But that woman she met...
00:55:59She's clearly loaded.
00:56:02Who is she?
00:56:04Listen, everybody.
00:56:06My Aunt Nancy has never left the countryside before.
00:56:09There is no way she has any connection to the Brooks group.
00:56:12This woman was sleeping on our floor, begging to be our maid and...
00:56:18Yeah. She'll lie about anything.
00:56:20Yeah.
00:56:21Truly, utterly pathetic.
00:56:23You absolutely have zero clue.
00:56:27I try to be patient, but...
00:56:30Shut your bitch mouth.
00:56:33I just know who you are.
00:56:35A low-class whore.
00:56:38Pretending to be part of this Brooks circle.
00:56:41We're the ones that have signed with the Brooks group.
00:56:44You don't say.
00:56:46You're really working with the Brooks group.
00:56:50Of course.
00:56:51I know you wouldn't know what it means to partner with them,
00:56:56but we're going to be the richest people in the city.
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:01Even if you somehow could afford this place,
00:57:05you're still much lower than we are.
00:57:08Steven, show them.
00:57:09We're going to buy the second most expensive property on your list.
00:57:13Mother, let's not be hasty.
00:57:15Until I sign, can we really afford to...
00:57:19Silence, child.
00:57:21This old bitch has bought the most expensive property on the list,
00:57:24and now you're telling us that we can't buy the second.
00:57:28Sorry.
00:57:30Let's just...
00:57:31Swipe the card.
00:57:39Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
00:57:42Understood, sir.
00:57:43I'm afraid I'm unable to sell you this property.
00:57:46Or any other property for that matter.
00:57:52Wait, what?
00:57:54Why?
00:57:55You're refusing to sell to us.
00:57:58You can't do that. Well, Sue.
00:58:00Well, we are a private business,
00:58:02and therefore we have the power to choose our own clients.
00:58:05Perhaps you should be asking yourself,
00:58:07who was it that I pissed off?
00:58:10That's the...
00:58:11That doesn't make any sense.
00:58:12We didn't do anything wrong.
00:58:14My mom is a nobody.
00:58:16Pissing her off doesn't count.
00:58:17Well, that's something that you can contemplate on your own time,
00:58:21and somewhere else.
00:58:23Now, get the hell out of here,
00:58:25before I have security throw you out.
00:58:28Sell or don't sell.
00:58:30We don't care.
00:58:31But you'll regret it.
00:58:32Once this Brooks Group deal has gone through,
00:58:36you're gonna come begging back to us.
00:58:39Yeah, you all just wait.
00:58:40Come 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,
00:58:52I'll find you.
00:58:55Good seeing you.
00:59:07Hey.
00:59:08What's wrong?
00:59:10I don't know.
00:59:13I feel like Mom's hiding something from me.
00:59:16She's probably just overwhelmed.
00:59:19This is all new to her.
00:59:21And she has been through a lot.
00:59:24You know, maybe when she gets to the banquet,
00:59:26and 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.
00:59:33Yeah.
00:59:34Maybe you're right.
00:59:50If it's not, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson,
00:59:53I hear you are working with the Brooks Group now.
00:59:55Quite 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.
01:00:05I am just so grateful to have the opportunity to show the world
01:00:09who the Anderson family is and all we're capable of.
01:00:12Miss Anderson, we hope you'll remember us.
01:00:14And we won't forget you.
01:00:16Oh, thank you, thank you. Of course.
01:00:27Miss Anderson.
01:00:28Miss Anderson.
01:00:28Miss Anderson.
01:00:31Miss Anderson.
01:00:32Miss Anderson.
01:00:33Oh, Lauren.
01:00:34I really shouldn't be here.
01:00:37I'm not dressed right.
01:00:38I don't belong in a place like this.
01:00:41Mom.
01:00:42You belong here more than anyone else.
01:00:46This banquet is for you.
01:00:48No.
01:00:51Damn it.
01:00:52It's the office.
01:00:54I have to take this.
01:00:56Mom.
01:00:57Go on inside without me, okay?
01:00:59William will be right here.
01:01:01No, no, no, no.
01:01:03I can't go in alone.
01:01:05You'll be fine.
01:01:06You deserve this.
01:01:07You deserve to be seen.
01:01:15I'll be right back.
01:01:24I'll be right back.
01:01:28Who's that?
01:01:29Dunno.
01:01:30Never saw her before.
01:01:33She's here?
01:01:35Stoker.
01:01:36That old bag has no shame.
01:01:37She's beyond belief.
01:01:43Nancy.
01:01:46Well, hello there.
01:01:48You look a little thirsty.
01:01:50Allow me.
01:02:07I'm sorry.
01:02:23You think everything about me is cheap, don't you?
01:02:28As a matter of fact, I do.
01:02:30You could be dressed head to toe in Prada and you'd still be cheap underneath.
01:02:35No.
01:02:36No, 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.
01:03:06Silly 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.
01:03:17Mom.
01:03:23Enough.
01:03:24I was invited.
01:03:26By 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.
01:03:46You're Miss Brooks's mother.
01:03:50Then I must be her biological mother.
01:03:53Oh my God.
01:03:54Does that make us sisters?
01:03:58Is she for real?
01:04:00Dude, I know, right?
01:04:01She's not.
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.
01:04:22She 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. You have always been a thief and a fraud. Ladies and gentlemen, check your bags and
01:05:05your jewellery. Someone here has got sticky fingers. She's lying. I'm not a thief. Oops.
01:05:23Accident. Let's take a look inside your bag.
01:05:39You can't help yourself, can you? Gaze upon this damnable wretch and curse her!
01:05:51Please. Why are you doing this to me? Don't try to play the victim. Everyone here
01:05:59saw it with their own eyes. Ashley, your aunt is the worst. It's not true. I didn't do it.
01:06:08Ashley, you have to believe me. You just came here to ruin Ashley's big moment.
01:06:16Do you really think she's going to defend you now? Mom's right. I swear. If you run things with
01:06:22Miss Brooks and cost me this deal, I will never forgive you. Ashley, do you think I'm a thief to
01:06:27me?
01:06:28Stop talking. You are so selfish. Why do you have to come and crash the most important day of my
01:06:33life?
01:06:34Leave me alone. Maybe I should teach you a lesson on behalf of Miss Brooks. I sure she'd love to
01:06:42see it.
01:06:45Stephen, hold her down. Stop! Don't do this. You enjoy being a thief so much. I'll give you the thief's
01:06:56mark.
01:06:56And this is what I'm doing. I'm in charge as well. Ashley, please help me!
01:07:10Enough! Enough!
01:07:17Nancy, I'm sorry I'm late. Don't worry, I'm here now, okay? William, I made a mess.
01:07:24It's okay. Who's that? That's so, so expensive. Probably Miss Brooks' guest.
01:07:31Now it all makes sense. I wondered why she was so emboldened today. But she's found herself a sugar
01:07:38daddy. Or should I say a sugar son? Yeah, she's old enough to be his mom. These people are monsters.
01:07:47Nazis enjoyed so much. It's unforgivable.
01:08:02How dare you hate me?
01:08:09Are you out of your mind?
01:08:14The fuck, man? You people are deranged.
01:08:18None of you deserve to be here.
01:08:24How dare you? Do you know who I am?
01:08:29Oh, I know exactly who you are. You're the people that have been abusing Nancy this whole time.
01:08:36Oh, so what? People like her? She's a nobody. Pathetic. People like her deserve to be stepped on.
01:08:45That's what they're there for.
01:08:47Miss Empire, we do guests of Miss Brooks. You don't want to fuck with us.
01:08:51Yeah, I don't care who you are or what your relationship is with my...
01:08:55With her. I 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. Do you know the power of the Brooks family? We are Miss Brooks' guest of honor.
01:09:13Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks has finalized the project agreement. Here's your contract. It just needs your signature.
01:09:21See? I warned you. I told you to leave. And now you're fucked.
01:09:28Sorry, Mom. But this contract means everything to me.
01:09:34Cancel the deal and cut ties with the entire family. Immediately.
01:09:41Uh, sir, this wasn't Miss Brooks' directive. I can't override her decision. I'm sorry.
01:09:47Oh, what happened? Don't have quite the pull you thought you had? Welcome 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. I'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? Or what?
01:10:30Don't touch me.
01:10:38Nancy!
01:10:42I'm sorry.
01:11:05Who did this?
01:11:18You. You're the guest I invited.
01:11:21You're Ashley.
01:11:23You're that woman in the sales office.
01:11:26Are 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 little
01:11:36slut, and that disgusting gimp. All here to stir up trouble.
01:11:40Oh, oh. That's Lauren Brooks.
01:11:43My god. And you heard what the woman just called her?
01:11:47I don't think they actually know Miss Brooks.
01:11:52What is wrong with you people? They're all fake. Call the police, Steven.
01:12:08How dare you publicly humiliate Miss Brooks.
01:12:11Miss Brooks?
01:12:16Ashley Morgan?
01:12:17Yeah, that's me.
01:12:20I can't believe it.
01:12:22You really don't recognize me?
01:12:25Shh.
01:12:26I don't know.
01:12:28Look at me.
01:12:28You 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, Miss Brooks.
01:12:50I am so stupid. I mean, Miss Brooks, of course they recognize you. I mean, everyone knows your family.
01:12:58Enough!
01:13:00Miss Brooks, we were wrong. We see that now.
01:13:03Please have some mercy. We didn't mean any harm. Let us make it up to you, all right?
01:13:11Don't play innocent with me. I heard every word you said to Nancy. And I'm sure you all said and
01:13:19did worse
01:13:19when you were alone with her. Miss 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?
01:13:55Say it, Ashley Morgan.
01:13:58Right here, in front of everyone.
01:14:01Tell everyone who this woman really is.
01:14:07Say it, Ashley. Who is she?
01:14:14Miss Brooks.
01:14:17I don't know what you're talking about, but it should have nothing to do with our contract.
01:14:24We're professionals.
01:14:30I can't handle this anymore. I shouldn't be here. I 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. You're not what they say.
01:14:47You're the most precious person I've ever known.
01:14:51Miss Brooks, please just let her leave.
01:14:54Don't allow her to ruin the evening.
01:14:58Our evening? Is that all you care about?
01:15:01The contract? Money?
01:15:04I'm sorry, but I...
01:15:06Ashley, you kicked Nancy out of your wedding.
01:15:11You 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?
01:15:29Tell me.
01:15:31Who 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! To 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.
01:15:54So 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.
01:16:06And 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?
01:16:48Ashley, this woman raised you.
01:16:52Gave her all for you.
01:16:55Provided a home full of love.
01:16:59And 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.
01:17:14All right.
01:17:16You all asked for this.
01:17:36I feel so sorry.
01:17:38I literally had to.
01:17:40Please, please give me another chance.
01:17:43Miss Bruce.
01:17:44We were wrong.
01:17:45We were very wrong.
01:17:48We were decent people.
01:17:50Really.
01:17:51I promise.
01:17:51From now on, I'm gonna treat Nancy with the most utter respect.
01:17:57I'm not the one you should be kneeling to.
01:18:06I'm not the one you should.
01:18:12Oops.
