Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Eight years. It's been eight long years since I last saw my little Ashley. Today's the day I
00:00:12finally get to see my daughter get married. Happy birthday, sweetheart. Thanks, Mom. Your presents
00:00:20are always my favorite. Anyway, today is Ashley's big day and Mom is here with your favorite gifts.
00:00:34Whoa, lady, stop. Stop. You don't want to try panhanding here and no loitering neither. Do yourself a favor. This
00:00:41is a high-end joint and you clearly don't belong here. So get out before I drag you out.
00:00:50Wait, stop. Hold on a second.
00:00:52Miss Anderson.
00:00:55Ashley.
00:01:01Mom, can we talk over there?
00:01:07What are you doing here? I told you not to come.
00:01:10Well, I, every mother wants to see their little girl walk down the aisle. I brought you some of your
00:01:19favorites from home.
00:01:20This strawberry jam, turkey turkey, and I needed you the scarf.
00:01:31Are you serious right now? What am I supposed to do with all of these? Do you have any idea
00:01:35who I'm marrying?
00:01:37Oh my God, it smells like a barn.
00:01:44Ashley, I can see you. Don't want me here. Can I just watch?
00:01:49No, Mom. I told everyone that you were traveling abroad and you just couldn't make it. Now you just show
00:01:56up out of the blue.
00:01:56How are you? How am I even going to explain that?
00:02:01I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought it would be a nice surprise.
00:02:08Mom, you work too hard. When I grow up, I will take you to the fanciest restaurant and go on
00:02:15a beach vacation.
00:02:17Thank you, sweetheart.
00:02:19I thought you would be happy to see me.
00:02:23Ashley.
00:02:27Who's this?
00:02:33This, this is my, um, my Aunt Nancy. She just dropped in.
00:02:39Got it. Welcome. Why don't you just invite your aunt in?
00:02:43Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:02:46Okay, fine. But don't embarrass me. Remember, your Aunt Nancy.
00:03:06It's magnificent. My little girl is marrying into a whole other world.
00:03:13I hear she has no family attending the wedding. That's so sus.
00:03:16They say she comes from poor's. She's probably some country hick who somehow clawed her way into the Anderson family.
00:03:28Well...
00:03:29What are you talking about?
00:03:31Who else? The bride, of course.
00:03:36You can tell by her posture alone that she comes from broke trash, but she acts like she's a goddamn
00:03:41princess.
00:03:42Yeah, even her mother didn't show. Either Ashley is ashamed, or Mama abandoned her. Either way, it's alone plus shit.
00:03:56None of what you're saying is true. Ashley is kind and thoughtful, and she may have a humble background, but
00:04:05she's rich in character.
00:04:06Who are you, anyway? You know, usually the janitors don't show up until after the wedding.
00:04:14Look at her clothes. My socks cost more than all the clothes set.
00:04:21Wait, wait. Don't tell me she's related to the bride. That would be...yikes.
00:04:28As a matter of fact, yes, I'm here for Ashley.
00:04:32Ha! I knew it.
00:04:37I almost feel sorry for Ashley. She worked so hard to hide people like you from us.
00:04:45The little princess must be mortified. You're here.
00:04:51Mortified? What am I doing to embarrass her?
00:04:56And what would you know about my bank account?
00:04:59Oh my god, lady. Do I really have to spell it out for you? That sad little outfit of yours
00:05:04wouldn't even hit 50 bucks.
00:05:06What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:10You!
00:05:12You!
00:05:13What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:15You! You just standing there. Get back to work. Setting tables or whatever it is that you people do.
00:05:23Not having a word with your manager about hiring better staff. Look at you. Filthy.
00:05:30Ma'am, I'm not part of the staff.
00:05:32Please, you don't expect me to believe that you're on my list.
00:05:36Lucy, actually, yes. She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:41I'm with you, Lucy. It doesn't look like she belongs here.
00:05:47Well, someone's obviously mistaken. Because I went through the guest list myself and Ashley never mentioned somebody like her.
00:05:56Well, maybe you missed it.
00:05:59I don't think so.
00:06:01Who are you really?
00:06:03I think you should leave before I call security.
00:06:08I'm not leaving.
00:06:10I'm here to see Ashley.
00:06:12But Ashley didn't put you on the list, did she?
00:06:17Or are you here hoping for a handout?
00:06:20I mean, these gifts of the bride and groom, they're not for guests.
00:06:28All I wanted was to be here for Ashley.
00:06:31Fine. If you want to continue with this madness, then you just put this on yourself, haven't you?
00:06:44Lucy, maybe just let it go. It's your son's big day. You shouldn't be getting your hands dirty.
00:06:49No way. That lady deserved it. Somebody had to teach her a lesson.
00:06:54I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm just here for the ceremony and to bring some gifts for the bride.
00:07:04Really? Let's see what delightful little treasures that you've dragged in here.
00:07:13Incredible.
00:07:16Preserves.
00:07:22Dried meat.
00:07:27Oh, and a scarf that smells like the bottom of a stable.
00:07:40Shall I show you what we do with the trash?
00:07:47What are you doing? Stop! Somebody help me, please!
00:07:53I told you, but I can do what the fuck I love.
00:08:01I'm Ashley's mother.
00:08:12Ashley's mother is vacationing in Switzerland.
00:08:16Although my daughter-in-law's family may not be at our level, they are very respectable.
00:08:22And what the hell are you?
00:08:25Did she really say that?
00:08:28Of course.
00:08:30Did you really think you could come waltzing in here and ruin my son's wedding?
00:08:37You're not the first freeloading fraud that I've encountered.
00:08:42Don't worry, everyone.
00:08:44This old bad lady, she won't be troubling us much longer.
00:08:49Yeah, kick her ass out.
00:08:51I'm sick of help from the little face.
00:09:04Why are you crazy? Are you gonna murder me in public?
00:09:09Why not? Who'd even notice if you were gone?
00:09:19Mother?
00:09:23Mother?
00:09:28Mother?
00:09:31Ashley, do you know this woman?
00:09:34So why wasn't she on the guest list?
00:09:36Uh, that's my...
00:09:38Uh, a distant relative.
00:09:40Aunt Nancy. Um, she dropped by last minute.
00:09:44Yes, we met her at the entrance.
00:09:47I'm...
00:09:49I'm...
00:09:50I'm her Aunt Nancy.
00:09:54Your mother's in Switzerland, that's right, isn't it?
00:09:57Yes, of course.
00:09:59Lying's not going to get you very far in my world.
00:10:02Your niece, my daughter-in-law, isn't going to follow your tall tales.
00:10:11Okay, Auntie?
00:10:24I...
00:10:25I...
00:10:26I never wanted any of this. I just wanted...
00:10:29to see Ashley happy.
00:10:32Happy with you here.
00:10:37Well...
00:10:42Maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:53I will go, what do you want to do?
00:11:00I'll do it.
00:11:00Good.
00:11:01I'm a little girl.
00:11:02Good.
00:11:11I'm a little girl.
00:11:13Mm-hmm.
00:11:15You're defending this marmalade woman.
00:11:20You know, I call you my daughter-in-law,
00:11:23but it's not official yet.
00:11:27Do you still want to marry my son?
00:11:29Yes, of course, Mother.
00:11:31Good.
00:11:32Then I'll give you one more chance.
00:11:35Sure, Mother. I'll upper leave now.
00:11:38Nancy, I'm sorry, but you have to...
00:11:40Oh, no, no, no, dear.
00:11:43That's not enough.
00:11:45Go over and slap her in her ugly peasant face.
00:11:50It's that, or you can forget about joining our family.
00:11:55Come on, Ashley. Everything's ready.
00:11:57Stop wasting time.
00:11:58Give her a quick slap and let's move on.
00:12:01Ashley.
00:12:03Look at me.
00:12:07What has happened to you?
00:12:09Look.
00:12:12Look at who I am.
00:12:14Shut up.
00:12:15That's enough.
00:12:16I know who you are.
00:12:19Sorry, Mom.
00:12:21This is my future.
00:12:22You wanted me to have everything.
00:12:25So you just have to forgive me.
00:12:47I can't believe you'd hit me.
00:12:55How could you?
00:12:58I knew you're a what?
00:13:00You're just some hillbilly distant relative from the middle of nowhere.
00:13:06Just look at you, that outfit.
00:13:09Standing amongst your betters.
00:13:12If you're not ashamed, we are on your behalf.
00:13:16Amen to that, Mrs. Anderson.
00:13:18You know, if the press catches on to this, it will be all over the feeds tomorrow.
00:13:21A total tabloid's candle.
00:13:26Ashley, how could you treat me like this after all these years?
00:13:31It's so pathetic. She's still acting like she matters.
00:13:41Say something.
00:13:44Tell them.
00:13:47Tell them who I am.
00:13:50Mom, I...
00:13:52Yes, Ashley.
00:13:54Yes, I'm here.
00:14:03I'm sorry, Mom.
00:14:05I... I can't admit it.
00:14:09I'm getting weary with this charade.
00:14:12Is there going to be a wedding or not?
00:14:14Or should we just call this whole thing off?
00:14:18Ashley, come on.
00:14:19This is our big day.
00:14:20Are you siding with my mother or this...
00:14:22This vagabond?
00:14:24Do you even want to marry me?
00:14:26Of course.
00:14:28I... I... I didn't mean that at all.
00:14:33Please, just stop.
00:14:36Just tell them you were wrong.
00:14:38And leave quietly.
00:14:40For me.
00:14:42But what...
00:14:43What did I do wrong?
00:14:45I... I just came to see you get married.
00:14:49She's a persistent little bumpkin.
00:14:51I'll give her that.
00:14:52I guess you have to be persistent to survive out in the wilderness.
00:14:57Okay. Enough.
00:14:58Just go.
00:15:00I don't want you here.
00:15:02Leave now.
00:15:06I'm sorry.
00:15:08I'm just a poor woman from the countryside.
00:15:13I shouldn't have called.
00:15:17Not bad.
00:15:19Well, since you came all this way, all by uninvited,
00:15:24let me offer you some dessert.
00:15:32I bet you've never seen anything quite this exquisite in your whole miserable life.
00:15:40Bon appetit.
00:16:03Oh my...
00:16:05Oh my god.
00:16:07Oh my god.
00:16:07Oh my god.
00:16:17Oh, another pair tainted.
00:16:28Alright, now get out before you taint this wedding any further.
00:16:36Alright, I ll go.
00:16:42Congratulations Ashley.
00:16:44I hope you have a happy marriage.
00:16:48Of course she ll be happy.
00:16:50She s marrying my son.
00:16:52How could she not?
00:16:54And don t forget your gifts.
00:16:57Yeah, I don t need them.
00:16:58Hey.
00:16:59Hey.
00:17:00Hey.
00:17:00Ha, ha, ha.
00:17:32Ashley, I only wanted to see you happy.
00:17:37I still hope you will be.
00:17:54Ms. Brooke, our client is waiting up to you.
00:18:16Ma?
00:18:19It really is you.
00:18:24It's me, Lauren.
00:18:28Look, Lauren, is it really you?
00:18:33Ma was always so kind to me.
00:18:36I mean, she adopted me and raised me as her own.
00:18:40Now you're both my precious girls.
00:18:43Then in college, my birth parents reached out
00:18:45after the hurricane.
00:18:47Everything was so confusing, and I was so lost.
00:18:51Now I've got all this money and a new life,
00:18:53but God, I still miss Ma so much.
00:18:57I searched for you for years.
00:19:00I didn't know if you survived the hurricane.
00:19:05What happened?
00:19:07How?
00:19:11Ma, I reconnected with my birth parents.
00:19:15So much has happened.
00:19:18I thought you'd all forgotten about me.
00:19:21Never.
00:19:24Never.
00:19:31Ma, let's go home.
00:19:48Oh, Lauren, I can't go inside.
00:19:50I don't belong here.
00:19:52I should go.
00:19:53Ma, what are you saying?
00:19:56You're family.
00:19:57My home is your home.
00:20:01Lauren!
00:20:02Who's this?
00:20:07This is my adoptive mother.
00:20:09The woman who raised me.
00:20:11Mom.
00:20:12This is William.
00:20:14He is my-
00:20:15Another mother.
00:20:17Lauren, this is a lot to drop on somebody.
00:20:19How am I supposed to process this?
00:20:21Lauren, what other secrets are you hiding?
00:20:23What else is there?
00:20:25I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:20:27I should go.
00:20:28I'll only be in the way here.
00:20:32No!
00:20:33No, please.
00:20:34Stay.
00:20:35Lauren, I don't want to come between you and your boyfriend.
00:20:38Ma, you are not just some outsider.
00:20:42Okay?
00:20:43Forget him.
00:20:44Let's just go inside.
00:20:46Bye.
00:20:48Babe, I wish you told me your mother was coming in advance.
00:20:51Could have gotten a nicer gift.
00:20:53Nancy, I'm William.
00:20:55I'm Lauren's fiance.
00:20:56Please excuse my behaviour from earlier.
00:20:58Sometimes I can get a little bit anxious.
00:21:00But no excuse, okay?
00:21:02Come inside.
00:21:03Take your shoes off.
00:21:04Let's get comfortable.
00:21:05Hopefully you can accept this gift from me as well.
00:21:11Thank you, William.
00:21:12Did you say Lauren's fiance?
00:21:19Yes, Mom.
00:21:20I'm doing well.
00:21:22You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:21:25Now that's more like it.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:30Let's go inside.
00:21:32And chill.
00:21:36What a disaster of a wedding you've pulled off.
00:21:40Embarrassing.
00:21:42Chaotic.
00:21:43You're pulling off on your own and you bring in this distant aunt to humiliate me.
00:21:49Mother, I'm sorry.
00:21:50I...
00:21:51Sorry doesn't cut it.
00:21:53You barely earn anything and you can't even afford a goddamn housekeeper.
00:21:58Pa.
00:21:58I...
00:21:58I could, uh...
00:21:59Ask my mutiny to help her around the house.
00:22:01She'll do it for wheelchair and she'll do whatever you want.
00:22:06Alright?
00:22:07But...
00:22:07If she doesn't make this place sparkle, she will not get a penny.
00:22:23My shoes are dirty.
00:22:25My socks have holes in them.
00:22:27I...
00:22:28I...
00:22:29I should just stay here.
00:22:38Hey, don't worry about it.
00:22:41This floor...
00:22:42it was made for you to walk on.
00:22:46Ma.
00:22:48You've worked your whole life.
00:22:51You gave me everything.
00:22:53You shouldn't have to feel like a stranger in your own daughter's home.
00:22:59Rose.
00:23:10Ma, you don't need to be nervous.
00:23:13This is your home now.
00:23:15You can retire.
00:23:18Enjoy life.
00:23:19Exactly.
00:23:22I never thought I'd be able to quit working,
00:23:24much less live like this.
00:23:27It's all a little overwhelming, to be honest.
00:23:30By the way, Ma, what brought you to the city?
00:23:33I came for Ashley's wedding.
00:23:35Oh my God, really?
00:23:38Ashley married?
00:23:40That's Ma's biological daughter.
00:23:42We grew up together.
00:23:43I remember you said you had a sister,
00:23:45but you didn't really say much about her.
00:23:47We haven't been in touch in forever.
00:23:49We lost contact after college.
00:23:52Who did she marry?
00:23:54Steven Anderson.
00:23:55Oh, the Andersons.
00:23:57I like them.
00:23:59They have a company with great growing potential.
00:24:01Good for Ashley.
00:24:03Yeah.
00:24:06You seem like a good match.
00:24:17Hello?
00:24:18Hey, Mom.
00:24:18It's me.
00:24:20Ashley.
00:24:21About earlier.
00:24:23Yeah.
00:24:23Forget it.
00:24:25Hey, can you come to my house tomorrow?
00:24:27Don't get the wrong idea.
00:24:28We're just really busy with the baby,
00:24:30and we need an extra hand.
00:24:31I assume you're not busy, right?
00:24:33Yes.
00:24:33No.
00:24:34Yeah.
00:24:34No problem.
00:24:35I'm glad I can help.
00:24:37And I can see my grandchild.
00:24:40Right?
00:24:40Willow?
00:24:41Yeah.
00:24:42Sure.
00:24:43But just so you know we can't pay you a lot,
00:24:45my finances are really tied up right now.
00:24:47I don't need money.
00:24:49Seeing you and my grandchild is more than enough.
00:24:53This means the world to me.
00:24:56Cool.
00:24:56I'll text you the address.
00:25:01Okay, Mom.
00:25:02It's done.
00:25:03She'll start with tomorrow.
00:25:06Well, she better do a good job, or she'll answer to me.
00:25:13Lauren, I think I have to leave.
00:25:16Ashley meets me.
00:25:18Oh.
00:25:19Is she okay?
00:25:20Well, yes.
00:25:21I'm busy, you know.
00:25:23And I'm gonna go help out over there.
00:25:28Okay.
00:25:29I understand.
00:25:32Please come back soon.
00:25:35I'll send Ashley a gift.
00:25:38Something to help her with her career.
00:25:40We may not be close anymore, but we're still sisters,
00:25:42and I want you both to have the best life possible.
00:25:46Thank you, Lauren.
00:25:59Ashley.
00:25:59Ashley, can you not do one thing right for a change?
00:26:03Ashley Mother's right.
00:26:05This wedding costs a fortune.
00:26:07I, um, I called Aunt Nancy.
00:26:10She will cook, clean, whatever.
00:26:12It'll save us a lot of time and energy.
00:26:14A bargain being relative.
00:26:17Is that the single thing that you can bring to this marriage?
00:26:21Sad.
00:26:24Sorry.
00:26:27Hello?
00:26:29The Brooks group wants to partner with me?
00:26:32I, I get a $5 million commission?
00:26:36What?
00:26:40Ma, Stephen, the Brooks group, they want to work with me,
00:26:44and I get $5 million.
00:26:46It's a miracle.
00:26:48Well.
00:26:52Well, well, Ashley.
00:26:54I always knew you were a good girl, deep down.
00:27:00The Brooks group, they are the biggest corporation in the city.
00:27:04And this is going to triple our business value.
00:27:09Ashley, baby, I knew you could be.
00:27:13Oh, tell me, how in the world did you land a deal with the Brooks group?
00:27:17I, honestly, I, I don't know.
00:27:20They, they said there's going to be a banquet next week,
00:27:22and we're going to sign the contract there.
00:27:24Oh!
00:27:25I am so proud of you, darling!
00:27:29Oh, um, Aunt Nancy.
00:27:31I'm, I'm coming.
00:27:33Uh, hey.
00:27:37So, remember, you're my Aunt Nancy.
00:27:40If you want to stay here, don't forget that.
00:27:41Got it?
00:27:43Shh.
00:27:45Step on the door.
00:27:52Stop right there.
00:27:54Look at your shoes.
00:27:57Covered in mud.
00:27:58You dare to walk in like that?
00:28:06Sorry, stop, sorry.
00:28:10Now, take off your shoes, kneel down,
00:28:15and clean every inch that you step.
00:28:20Then you can enter.
00:28:27Mom's right, Annie Nancy.
00:28:28Just hurry up and clean the floor.
00:28:52That's much more like it.
00:29:04There's my itty-bitty baby.
00:29:08I'll go prepare the formula.
00:29:10I love you.
00:29:10I love you.
00:29:13I love you.
00:29:40I love you.
00:29:43I love you.
00:29:46I love you.
00:29:55I love you.
00:30:08I love you.
00:30:12I love you.
00:30:12I love you.
00:30:13I love you.
00:30:29I love you.
00:30:34I love you.
00:30:39I love you.
00:30:42I love you.
00:30:49I love you.
00:30:53I love you.
00:31:05I love you.
00:31:11to you, dollard. Look at you, dressed like a beggar. Don't eat somewhere out of my sight.
00:31:20But what is etiquette to sit here? She is a professional nanny, an entirely other breed.
00:31:29We pay top dollar to have her take care of our children. Do you think you're in the same league?
00:31:34I just...
00:31:35Aunt Nancy, just go eat in the kitchen. I see.
00:32:03Ashley, this is, this is a toilet. Is that a toilet?
00:32:09Sorry, yeah, there's no other guest room. You'll just have to make do.
00:32:12We used to have a puppy in here, but we got rid of it.
00:32:15Mom hated the smell that it shed too much.
00:32:18Really, it make me sleep in a toilet room, crawled up next to it.
00:32:25Toilet bowl?
00:32:28There's really no other room, okay? I mean, if you want to clear more space,
00:32:32you can get rid of the trash. There's some little towels. You can lay those out.
00:32:35There's even water. A dog could survive in here. I don't know what else you need.
00:32:42Ashley, bring me some grapes. Now!
00:32:44Oh, coming, mother!
00:32:48Oh, and don't forget to close the door. Mom hates the smell.
00:32:56Ashley, what happened to you?
00:32:58What happened to you? How can you do this to me?
00:33:08No! What are you talking about, Billy?
00:33:11You can't break up with me! Well, I don't consent!
00:33:19Loser!
00:33:26Drug you, you piece of shit.
00:33:30What's happening? I heard Willow crying. She sounds scared.
00:33:34It's nothing.
00:33:37What's that?
00:33:40Sleeping pills. Are you drugging Willow? She's...
00:33:44She's just a baby!
00:33:46Give it back!
00:33:47No, I wasn't doing anything! You're just a bitch!
00:33:59What's going on in here?
00:34:02Ma'am, she was trying to give sleeping pills to Willow!
00:34:06I didn't, I swear! I walked in and...
00:34:11You're trying to hurt my grandchild!
00:34:14What's going on in here?
00:34:17Ashley, your aunt has tried to poison Willow!
00:34:20She's giving sleeping pills to a baby!
00:34:24I didn't! I swear, please listen to me!
00:34:28I don't!
00:34:30I didn't!
00:34:33It was her! I was trying to protect Willow!
00:34:38Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, you know my credentials! Why would I do this?
00:34:43You disgusting creature! I scold you a few times, and you take it out of my grandchild?
00:34:56Mother! Her arm is bruised!
00:34:59My poor Willow!
00:35:01How could Sally do something like this to you?
00:35:04Call the police!
00:35:05Now!
00:35:07This lady must have done it while I was in the kitchen!
00:35:10That's why Willow started crying!
00:35:12I came in here because I heard her crying!
00:35:15You have to believe me, liar!
00:35:18I'll strip you down myself and find the evidence, and then I'll hand you over to the police personally!
00:35:27I didn't do it! Leave me alone!
00:35:31You just push me? You dare lay a finger on me? Unlike a baby? I can fight back, you filthy
00:35:41cunt!
00:35:44Actually, you know I could never do something like this, Steven. Maybe we should just...
00:35:51Just what?
00:35:51She's fucking trying to find our child! Are you seriously sitting with her right now?
00:35:56No, of course not!
00:35:58Aunt Nancy, just tell the truth! Was it you?
00:36:04Ashley! You don't believe me either! How could I do something like this? I'm Willow's grave!
00:36:14Shut up!
00:36:15You hurt her! Shut up! Now, take all your clothes off!
00:36:26Fine!
00:36:30I'll do it myself!
00:36:56I'm happy now! Can I stop?
00:37:00I'm happy now! Can I stop?
00:37:01I'll take everything off! Do you need some help?
00:37:03No! No!
00:37:08No! No!
00:37:12I would never hurt a child!
00:37:16Aunt Nancy, if you didn't do it, just prove it already! Just take your clothes off!
00:37:21What?
00:37:23You'd have me strip completely!
00:37:30Your own!
00:37:33Okay, I'll do it!
00:37:37I'll do it, Ashley!
00:37:48I'll do it, Ashley!
00:37:51Now, turn around!
00:37:57Definitely not my dog, huh?
00:38:01Now, do you believe me?
00:38:04This proves nothing!
00:38:06Although, it is rather amusing!
00:38:10Now, admit it!
00:38:12Did you abuse Willow?
00:38:14I did not!
00:38:15Mother, maybe she really didn't do anything!
00:38:18Ashley, why do you even defend her? She hurt her child!
00:38:21Exactly! You'd take the side of a would-be murderer!
00:38:25You can choose!
00:38:27Either her, or this family!
00:38:34Aunt Nancy?
00:38:37Please leave now!
00:38:44Ashley!
00:38:50Get out, you vile vagabond!
00:38:59What's this?
00:39:02You think you could steal from us as well?
00:39:10Don't give that back!
00:39:11Only a few measly bills!
00:39:14Only a broke woman like you would treat this like treasure!
00:39:18Mr. and Mrs. Anderson wouldn't even bother to pick this amount up off the ground!
00:39:22I used such measly bucks to raise two daughters!
00:39:26I was able to give my children a better life out of the country and in the city!
00:39:32I am sure they are glad to be away from you, hillbilly!
00:39:36I earned every cent I made through hard work!
00:39:41You think you're better than me?
00:39:43You think my money is worthless?
00:39:45I made a happy home!
00:39:48Earning this much every month!
00:39:50This is a month's income!
00:39:53Beautiful!
00:39:54No one here wants your paltry earnings!
00:39:59So get out!
00:40:00You delusional, impoverished, bitch!
00:40:15Mum?
00:40:21What is going on here?
00:40:25Who are you people?
00:40:26How dare you treat her like this?
00:40:30Who are you people?
00:40:32How dare you treat her like this?
00:40:35Forget it, Lauren. I just want to leave.
00:40:39Ma? Did they hurt you?
00:40:41No. No. They're... they're my employers.
00:40:45That's right. She works for us.
00:40:48Who cares if we gave her a little lesson?
00:40:51And who the hell are you?
00:40:52I'm her daughter.
00:40:53What? Mum only had me.
00:40:57Well, and Lauren. But who knows what happened to that poor foster girl.
00:41:03You liar!
00:41:05She's just a kind woman I met in the city. She's been helping me. I told her she reminded me
00:41:11of my daughter.
00:41:14You really like clinging to younger women.
00:41:19No children of your own to scam or did you run them off?
00:41:23Do not speak to her that way.
00:41:26Nancy is my family.
00:41:28She's still trash.
00:41:30The two of you deserve each other. A couple of lying beggars.
00:41:37Beggars!
00:41:38Do you know who I am?
00:41:40I don't care who you are.
00:41:42Ever heard of Brooks Group?
00:41:44The Brooks Group?
00:41:45What? Do you clean their toilets or something?
00:41:49You really have no clue, do you?
00:41:53Sweetheart, I don't feel well. Can we just go home?
00:41:57Of course, Ma. I'll take you home.
00:42:00You pathetic little bums.
00:42:16Ma, I'm here.
00:42:21Are you feeling all right?
00:42:23What did they do to you?
00:42:26Just say the word and I'll make them pay.
00:42:28I'm okay.
00:42:30Ma, you said you were going to Ashley's to help out.
00:42:34What happened?
00:42:37They hired a nanny for Willow, so they didn't need me.
00:42:42And I found another job, but they don't need me either.
00:42:47Why are you putting yourself through this?
00:42:50Why won't you just stay with us?
00:42:51I mean, I've already caused you enough trouble.
00:42:56No, you haven't.
00:42:58We would be honored to have you live with us.
00:43:11I want you to treat yourself.
00:43:13I mean it.
00:43:15I mean it.
00:43:16Spend as much as you want.
00:43:19There's no limit.
00:43:21Lauren, why are you so good to me?
00:43:25I...
00:43:27I'm just your adoptive mother.
00:43:30What are you talking about?
00:43:32You're a brooks now, and you belong with your kind.
00:43:37Listen.
00:43:39If you hadn't taken me in back then, I probably would have starved.
00:43:43Or frozen to death on the streets.
00:43:46And you gave everything, everything you had to me and Ashley.
00:43:52You have no idea how much I've missed you.
00:43:56I love you, Ma.
00:43:58Always.
00:44:01I love you too, Lauren.
00:44:03Good.
00:44:04I'm glad we agree.
00:44:08Oh, I meant to tell you.
00:44:10Next week, I'm taking you to a banquet.
00:44:14A banquet?
00:44:15No, I don't know about that kind of thing.
00:44:18And I'd only embarrass you.
00:44:23That's impossible.
00:44:25Because the banquet is for you.
00:44:27And if you don't want to stay here, I won't force you.
00:44:31I'm buying you a new house anyway.
00:44:42Lauren, I don't know about this whole house idea.
00:44:46I could just go back to where I'm staying.
00:44:49Ma, it's a gift I'm happy to give.
00:44:52If the roles were reversed, you would do the same.
00:44:56Please accept it.
00:45:02I'm sorry, Ma.
00:45:03I gotta take this call.
00:45:05Don't worry.
00:45:05I have someone waiting to assist you.
00:45:15My manager said Miss Brooke's mother would be coming today.
00:45:19Could this be her?
00:45:20If it is, I have to make a good impression.
00:45:28Good day, Miss.
00:45:29May I help you?
00:45:31I don't really know how to do this.
00:45:33I'd be happy to show you everything on offer.
00:45:36Care to sit?
00:45:37Please, this way.
00:45:39Yeah, please.
00:45:40Yeah, have a sit.
00:45:40Yes, yes.
00:45:42Here's some water.
00:45:47Oh, here's our brochure.
00:45:48All our properties are developed by Brooks Group, so platinum tier quality.
00:46:03Ashley, I am so proud of you.
00:46:07This is the finest collection in the city.
00:46:12After the Brooks Group deal closes, I'll be able to afford the best of the best.
00:46:20Ashley, is that your Aunt Nancy?
00:46:24What is she doing here?
00:46:26I think it's about time I stopped being so nice to her.
00:46:32How much is that one?
00:46:34It's only for 1.5 million.
00:46:381.5 million dollars?
00:46:40Yes, and a great value at that.
00:46:44If you're planning to live with your family,
00:46:46I'd recommend Augustine model.
00:46:497,500 square feet, six baths, six bedrooms at 18 million dollars.
00:46:55Oh, that's far more than I need.
00:46:5818 million?
00:46:59That old hag couldn't afford that much in 18 lifetimes.
00:47:05Excuse me, who are you?
00:47:08Lucy Anderson, one of your top clientele.
00:47:12And that woman.
00:47:14Regrettably, she was our maid and we had to fire her for misconduct.
00:47:19She's a liar.
00:47:20Don't waste any more time on her.
00:47:22That's right.
00:47:23She's a broke nobody.
00:47:24A grifter cosplaying affluence.
00:47:26Wait, this isn't Miss Brooke's mother?
00:47:29Shit.
00:47:30I've been wasting my time with her.
00:47:32Monty, what are you doing?
00:47:34Just leave town and go home already.
00:47:37Ashley, do you really hate me so much?
00:47:40Am I such a disgrace to you?
00:47:43What happened to that sweet little girl I used to know?
00:47:51So what, I'm not good enough to even exist in this city?
00:47:55Ashley, why does she care so much about what you think?
00:47:58It's not like she's your mom or something.
00:48:03I don't know what you want from me.
00:48:05I was just being nice to you because you came all the way from the countryside.
00:48:09That's all.
00:48:10Some people, they just walk into the city and they think they belong in the city.
00:48:16The truth is, you're just a country bumkin and you'll never be like us.
00:48:25You know what, that's right.
00:48:28I'll never be like you.
00:48:30I scrimped and saved my whole life so my family could have something better.
00:48:37You all think I'm poor, but I'm rich in good memories of my, of Ashley.
00:48:48Even if she's forgotten.
00:48:52You think I can't afford a home?
00:49:00That three-bedroom, two-bath model?
00:49:03Uh, Rivera model, yes.
00:49:06I'll take it. Full payment, now.
00:49:09Of course, what? I'll grab the red card and the contract will be right away, okay?
00:49:16Now, I'm wondering where you found this obviously fake car.
00:49:19Or maybe you stole it.
00:49:21Give it back!
00:49:22No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:49:23You want it now?
00:49:24You beg me.
00:49:25No, never.
00:49:26Whatever you're doing, stop it, okay?
00:49:29But just embarrass yourself further.
00:49:30I know you don't have that kind of money.
00:49:32You do realize that these properties were developed by the Brooks Group?
00:49:37Elite only begins to describe their clientele.
00:49:41And this fake card isn't gonna work.
00:49:44Shall we now add fraud to your list of crimes?
00:49:48I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:49:50Just this once, I want to be selfish to prove myself.
00:49:58Sir, please rent the card.
00:50:02Of course, miss, right away.
00:50:04Ashley, there's no way she has that kind of money, right?
00:50:07All set.
00:50:08Please swipe a card.
00:50:10That would be 1.5 million dollars.
00:50:13Go ahead, darling.
00:50:15Swipe it.
00:50:17Mom probably doesn't even have 10 grand, let alone a mil five.
00:50:23What am I doing?
00:50:24This is crazy.
00:50:26No matter what these people say, I can't spend Lauren's money like this.
00:50:311.5 million dollars?
00:50:33I must be out of my mind.
00:50:37Actually, I'm sorry.
00:50:38I can't buy this yet.
00:50:41Seriously?
00:50:42Sorry, my friend.
00:50:43But what the fuck, lady?
00:50:45I knew she was bluffing.
00:50:46It's probably the cheapest listing and she can't even afford it.
00:50:50Enough!
00:50:51Get out of the way.
00:50:52We're here to buy.
00:50:53Show me your most expensive property.
00:50:56Absolutely.
00:50:58You don't have the kind of money.
00:51:02Ashley's about to get a huge payout, aren't you?
00:51:05And we can always leverage some funds.
00:51:09Show me the most expensive listing.
00:51:12But that's 18 million.
00:51:14Your point?
00:51:15If you're not willing to contribute to this family, then why did you even marry my son?
00:51:20Ashley, you know Mother's right, as always.
00:51:22Of course, I'm sorry.
00:51:26I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:51:28I can't give up on Ashley.
00:51:31Please forgive me.
00:51:33Pardon me, sir.
00:51:34I was here first.
00:51:36The Augustine model, I believe you called it.
00:51:40I'll take it.
00:51:42Charge the card.
00:51:57Come on.
00:51:59Are you kidding me?
00:52:00The card even doesn't work.
00:52:02No, no.
00:52:03That's impossible.
00:52:04There must be money on it.
00:52:05I told you she has no money.
00:52:08Lady, why don't you just hitchhike your way back to your little farm?
00:52:12You're getting in the way of your bettors.
00:52:15She's not buying the house.
00:52:17We are.
00:52:18But I have one condition.
00:52:21Of course, whatever you need.
00:52:23She's polluting the air.
00:52:25And if you want our business, slap her.
00:52:29Twice.
00:52:31But Mother, isn't that...
00:52:32You dare defend her again?
00:52:35No, of course not.
00:52:38Just a moment.
00:52:40Security!
00:52:43Slap this woman hard.
00:52:46Yes, sir.
00:52:48I meant for you to slap her, but watching these two men do it is quite delightful.
00:52:55I'll allow it.
00:52:56Get your hands off me!
00:53:02Stop!
00:53:06What is the meaning of this?
00:53:12Look, it's the little tramp accomplice.
00:53:16Excuse me.
00:53:17We're in the middle of the situation here.
00:53:19You can make an appointment if you want to.
00:53:21Don't bother with her.
00:53:22She's a con artist, like the old woman.
00:53:25Yeah.
00:53:26They're both loser nobodies.
00:53:30Exactly.
00:53:31Or are you about to claim you're some long-lost heir of the Rockefellers?
00:53:35Or perhaps a Brooks family second cousin twice removed?
00:53:39Get rid of them now.
00:53:42Just a moment.
00:53:46Hello?
00:53:47There are three individuals causing a scene at the Riverfront sales office.
00:53:52Check the security footage to identify them.
00:53:54It's an elderly woman and a couple.
00:53:56They are blacklisted.
00:53:58Do not sell them any property at any price.
00:54:00They're permanently banned.
00:54:03Lady, you're embarrassing yourself.
00:54:06This is my curve.
00:54:07And what I say goes.
00:54:10Escort them out now!
00:54:13Ouch!
00:54:14My arm!
00:54:15Hey, Stormtrooper!
00:54:16Let her go!
00:54:17If you harm her, there'll be hell to pay.
00:54:22What on earth is going on in here?
00:54:26Who's creating such a ruckus?
00:54:30A black card.
00:54:34I can't believe that I almost didn't recognize our most VIP clientele.
00:54:40VIP or not, no one should be treated this way.
00:54:56You idiot!
00:54:58How did you not see the black card?
00:55:01Sir, please don't be fooled.
00:55:04The card was fake.
00:55:06They cut it in his paw.
00:55:07It's a fake.
00:55:08You're a fool!
00:55:09That is a black prestige card.
00:55:11There's no pen.
00:55:12There's no limit.
00:55:13And regular machines can't even read it.
00:55:15You.
00:55:17You have managed to insult our most VIP clientele.
00:55:22You are fired!
00:55:25Oh, please.
00:55:26Just, just, just.
00:55:30Um, man.
00:55:36Huh?
00:55:37Uh, madam.
00:55:40Everything has gone through perfectly.
00:55:43The property now officially belongs to you, and we can begin processing your paperwork.
00:55:49Congratulations.
00:55:53I don't know what to say.
00:55:56I don't know what to say.
00:55:57I don't have to say anything.
00:56:04What just happened?
00:56:06I don't know what to say.
00:56:07Oh my god.
00:56:08Are they part of the Brooks group?
00:56:15This can't be real.
00:56:17No way mom knows anyone in the Brooks family.
00:56:20But that woman she met, she's clearly loaded.
00:56:24Who is she?
00:56:26Listen, everybody.
00:56:28My Aunt Nancy has never left the countryside before.
00:56:32There is no way she has any connection to the Brooks group.
00:56:35This woman was sleeping on our floor, begging to be our maid, and...
00:56:40No, she'll lie about anything.
00:56:43Truly, utterly, pathetic.
00:56:46You absolutely have zero clue.
00:56:49I tried to be patient, but...
00:56:53Shut your bitch mouth.
00:56:56I just know who you are.
00:56:58A low-class whore, pretending to be part of this Brooks circle.
00:57:04We're the ones that have signed with the Brooks group.
00:57:07You don't say.
00:57:09You're really working with the Brooks group.
00:57:12Of course.
00:57:14I know you wouldn't know what it means to partner with them, but...
00:57:19We're going to be the richest people in the city.
00:57:23Yeah, even if you somehow could afford this place,
00:57:27you're still much lower than we are.
00:57:30Steven, show them.
00:57:32We're going to buy the second most expensive property on your list.
00:57:36Mother, let's not be hasty.
00:57:38Until I sign, can we really afford to...
00:57:42Silence, child!
00:57:43This old bitch has bought the most expensive property on the list,
00:57:47and now you're telling us that we can't buy the second?
00:57:51Sorry.
00:57:52Let's just...
00:57:54Swipe the card.
00:58:01Uh, yes, sir.
00:58:05Understood, sir.
00:58:06I'm afraid I'm unable to sell you this property.
00:58:09Or any other property for that matter.
00:58:15Wait, what?
00:58:17Why?
00:58:18You are refusing to sell to us.
00:58:21You can't do that.
00:58:22We'll sue.
00:58:23Well, we are a private business, therefore we have the power to choose our own clients.
00:58:28Perhaps you should be asking yourself, who was it that I pissed off?
00:58:34That doesn't make any sense.
00:58:35We didn't do anything wrong.
00:58:37My mom is a nobody.
00:58:39Pissing her off doesn't count.
00:58:41Well, that's something that you can contemplate on your own time and somewhere else.
00:58:46Now, get the hell out of here before I have security throw you out.
00:58:51Sell or don't sell, we don't care.
00:58:54But you'll regret it.
00:58:56Once this Brooks Group deal has gone through, you're going to come begging back to us.
00:59:02You all just wait.
00:59:03Come on, let's go.
00:59:06I'm looking forward to seeing how things go with the Brooks Group.
00:59:09And I look forward to shoving the deal down your fucking throat.
00:59:14Wherever you are, I'll find you.
00:59:19I'm seeing you.
00:59:32Hey, what's wrong?
00:59:34I don't know.
00:59:37I feel like mom's hiding something from me.
00:59:40She's probably just overwhelmed.
00:59:43This is all new to her.
00:59:45And she has been through a lot.
00:59:48You know, maybe when she gets to the banquet and she sees Ashley,
00:59:51and sees the surprise that you planned for her,
00:59:54she'll realize that everything's going to be okay.
00:59:56Yeah.
00:59:58Maybe you're right.
01:00:14If it's not, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, I hear you are working with the Brooks Group now.
01:00:19It's quite impressive.
01:00:20They say this whole banquet isn't your owner, Miss Anderson.
01:00:24Our little Ashley is quite exquisite.
01:00:28No, no, not at all.
01:00:29I am just so grateful to have the opportunity to show the world who the Anderson family is and
01:00:35what we're capable of.
01:00:36Miss Anderson, we hope you'll remember us and we won't forget you.
01:00:40Oh, thank you. Thank you. Of course.
01:00:58Oh, Lauren, I really shouldn't be here. I'm not dressed right. I don't belong in a place like this.
01:01:06Mom, you belong here more than anyone else. This banquet is for you.
01:01:16Damn it.
01:01:17It's the office. I have to take this.
01:01:21Mom, go on inside without me, okay? William will be right here.
01:01:26No, no, no, no. I can't go in alone.
01:01:29You'll be fine. You deserve this. You deserve to be seen.
01:01:39I'll be right back.
01:01:53Who's that?
01:01:54I don't know. Never saw her before.
01:01:58She's here?
01:01:59Stop her. That old bag has no shame.
01:02:02She's beyond belief.
01:02:08Lindsay.
01:02:12Well, hello there. You look a little thirsty. Allow me.
01:02:17We'll have to enter these mutants 매 trois strikes as one who has tried to trade with him.
01:02:32I see.
01:02:36Me.
01:02:38I see.
01:02:40YouTubers, I'll be right back.
01:02:44Happy years, I've got like to do what kind of downtime have you.
01:02:45Listen to her over the world right now.
01:02:49You think everything about me is cheap, don't you?
01:02:53As a matter of fact, I do.
01:02:56You could be dressed head to toe in Prada and you'd still be cheap underneath.
01:03:01No, no, not cheap.
01:03:03What?
01:03:06Do you even know what kind of an event this is?
01:03:11Stop following me.
01:03:13Go away.
01:03:13Who even is she?
01:03:16Doesn't look like someone Miss Brooks would invite.
01:03:19Who is she?
01:03:20She's just a maid we hired to clean floors and toilets.
01:03:25God knows how she's snuck in here.
01:03:27I am not a maid.
01:03:30Oh, that's right.
01:03:32Silly me, I forgot.
01:03:33We fired you.
01:03:35Now you're just an unemployed beggar that dresses up to make herself feel more important.

01:08:57Oh, I know exactly who you are. You're the people that have been abusing Nancy this whole time.
01:09:05So what? People like her? She's a nobody. Pathetic.
01:09:10People like her deserve to be stepped on. That's what they're there for.
01:09:16Miss Empire, we do guests of Miss Brooks. You don't want to fuck with us.
01:09:20Yeah, I don't care who you are or what your relationship is with my...
01:09:24With her. I suggest you leave.
01:09:27Well, since none of you have any remorse, we won't go easy on you.
01:09:31You're threatening us. Do you know the power of the Brooks family?
01:09:36We are Miss Brooks's guest of honor.
01:09:42Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks has finalized the project agreement.
01:09:46Here's your contract. It just needs your signature.
01:09:49See? I warned you. I told you to leave. And now you're fucked.
01:09:56Sorry, Mom. But this contract means everything to me.
01:10:02Cancel the deal and cut ties with the entire family. Immediately.
01:10:10Uh, sir, this wasn't Miss Brooks' directive. I can't override her decision. I'm sorry.
01:10:18What happened? Don't have quite the pull you thought you had?
01:10:23Welcome to reality, boy.
01:10:26We already understand. No one fucked with us, got it?
01:10:33Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks made an inspired choice in you.
01:10:37You're truly impressive. I'm still so young.
01:10:47I think you owe me an apology.
01:10:55Don't touch me.
01:10:57Don't touch you? Or what?
01:11:06Nancy?
01:11:09Ugh!
01:11:27Uh...
01:11:36Who did this?
01:11:48You.
01:11:49You're the guest I invited.
01:11:51You're Ashley.
01:11:53You're that woman from the sales office.
01:11:56Are you stalking us too?
01:11:58You see, I told you.
01:12:00These three, they're in it together.
01:12:03The washed up old hag, the wild little slut and that disgusting gimp.
01:12:08All here to stir up trouble.
01:12:10Uh-oh.
01:12:11That's Lauren Brooks.
01:12:13My God.
01:12:14And you heard what that woman just called her?
01:12:17I don't think they actually know Miss Brooks.
01:12:22What is wrong with you people?
01:12:25They're all fake.
01:12:26Call the police, Stephen.
01:12:38How dare you publicly humiliate Miss Brooks.
01:12:41Miss Brooks?
01:12:46Ashley Morgan?
01:12:48Yeah, that's me.
01:12:50I can't believe it.
01:12:51You really don't recognize me?
01:12:56I don't know.
01:12:58Look at me.
01:12:59You stand here mocking her, humiliating her, shoving her around in public, and yet you feel nothing.
01:13:10I know you really want this contract, Ashley, but I don't want to give it to you anymore.
01:13:15No, you can't do that, Miss Brooks.
01:13:18Oh, wait.
01:13:21I am so stupid.
01:13:23I mean, Miss Brooks, of course they recognize you.
01:13:26I mean, everyone knows your family.
01:13:29Enough!
01:13:30Miss Brooks, we were wrong.
01:13:32We see that now.
01:13:33Please have some mercy.
01:13:35We didn't mean any harm.
01:13:37Let us make it up to you, all right?
01:13:42Don't play innocent with me.
01:13:44I heard every word you said to Nancy.
01:13:47And I'm sure you all said and did worse when you were alone with her.
01:13:51Miss Brooks, I'm sorry.
01:13:53I can see we got off on the wrong foot.
01:13:54Look, we know we messed up, but the project, that's business, right?
01:13:59Forget the contract.
01:14:01Forget business.
01:14:03What about family?
01:14:05Why are you saying this to me?
01:14:08I'll tell you.
01:14:09But first, answer me this.
01:14:15Who is she?
01:14:21Who is that woman?
01:14:24Say it, Ashley Morgan.
01:14:28Right here, in front of everyone.
01:14:31Tell everyone who this woman really is.
01:14:38Say it, Ashley.
01:14:40Who is she?
01:14:44Miss Brooks, I don't know what you're talking about,
01:14:50but it should have nothing to do with our contract.
01:14:55We're professionals.
01:15:00I...
01:15:01I can't handle this anymore.
01:15:04I shouldn't be here.
01:15:05I wasn't made for this big city life.
01:15:10I've never been anything but worthless.
01:15:13Miss Brooks, you can't let them treat you like this.
01:15:16You are not what they say.
01:15:18You're the most precious person I've ever known.
01:15:22Miss Brooks, please just let her leave.
01:15:25Don't allow her to ruin the evening.
01:15:29Our evening?
01:15:31Is that all you care about?
01:15:32The contract?
01:15:34Money?
01:15:35Miss Brooks, I'm sorry, but I...
01:15:37Ashley, you kicked Nancy out of your wedding.
01:15:42You humiliated her while buying a house.
01:15:45And now you just stand here watching
01:15:48as your mother-in-law bullies and abuses her.
01:15:52Not even a stranger deserves to be treated like this.
01:15:56But she's not a stranger, is she?
01:16:00Tell me.
01:16:02Who took care of you when you were sick?
01:16:05Who stayed up with you when you had a nightmare?
01:16:09Who gave up everything?
01:16:12Everything, everything to give you a better life.
01:16:17She's not some random woman.
01:16:20She's not even your aunt.
01:16:22She's the reason you exist.
01:16:25So why is it so hard to admit that she is your mother?
01:16:33She's Mrs. Anderson's mother?
01:16:35Her mother was right there?
01:16:37And she refused to acknowledge her?
01:16:40And she even humiliated her in public.
01:16:43How terrible.
01:16:45How do you know that?
01:16:50Wait.
01:16:56Oh my God.
01:17:00You're Lauren.
01:17:03She's your mother, Ashley?
01:17:05You told me that she was traveling the world.
01:17:08That she wasn't even in the country.
01:17:11You told me that she was just a distant aunt.
01:17:15Ashley, you lied to us.
01:17:17Your mother is just a dirty old woman.
01:17:19Ashley, this woman raised you.
01:17:23Gave her all for you.
01:17:27Provided a home full of love.
01:17:30And you denied her.
01:17:34Like she was nothing.
01:17:36Ungrateful brat.
01:17:37If she would betray her mother like that,
01:17:40how could anyone ever trust her?
01:17:42Honestly.
01:17:43I feel bad for that poor woman.
01:17:46Alright.
01:17:47You all asked for this.
01:18:07I feel so sorry.
01:18:09I feel so sorry.
01:18:10I feel so sorry.
01:18:12Please, please give me another chance.
01:18:14Please, we were wrong.
01:18:17We were very wrong.
01:18:19We were decent people.
01:18:21Really?
01:18:22I promise.
01:18:23From now on,
01:18:24I'm going to treat Nancy with the most utter respect.
01:18:29I'm not the one you should be kneeling to.
01:18:44Oops.
01:18:46Accidents.
01:18:52Stephen!
01:18:53Now, help me!
01:18:55Leave me out of this.
01:18:56Stephen!
01:18:58Stephen!
01:18:59I didn't ask for this.
01:19:00I didn't do anything.
01:19:02Stephen!
01:19:04But you did ask for this.
01:19:06You son of a bitch.
01:19:23Oh, mommy.
01:19:27I know I fucked up.
01:19:31I'm just going to cut up in all of this.
01:19:33It's been so hard.
01:19:38It's been so hard.
01:19:39I was fine.
01:19:40I see that now.
01:19:41I was just awful.
01:19:44It could change for you.
01:19:47And for Willow.
01:19:48Don't forget your granddaughter.
01:19:50Mother.
01:19:51Mother.
01:19:53Mother.
01:19:54I didn't know it was yours.
01:19:56I promise from now on, I'll treat you like my own mother.
01:20:01Mother.
01:20:02Mother.
01:20:04Mother.
01:20:06What a mild ride.
01:20:10You know what it's like for women of our age.
01:20:13We have to keep up appearances.
01:20:16Come on.
01:20:17Let's not dwell in the past.
01:20:19Let's be friends, dear.
01:20:23Whatever you just say, mom.
01:20:26I'm with you.
01:20:54Ashley, I can see I've been a source of shame for you, and that's a hard thing for a mother
01:21:04to accept.
01:21:12Yes, I come from the countryside, and yes, I've led a humble life, which some might consider
01:21:26poor, since I've come to town, I've been harassed, mistreated, lied to, and lied about.
01:21:43Ashley, I can see how I've embarrassed you.
01:21:47I'm not the kind of mother you want.
01:21:50She is.
01:21:51I've made peace with that, and I'll be okay.
01:21:57But from now on, you are not my daughter.
01:22:11No.
01:22:12Mom, please don't do that.
01:22:17No.
01:22:18Mom, please don't do that.
01:22:21Please, please wait.
01:22:27Ashley Anderson and the entire Anderson family are blacklisted from Brooke's group's projects.
01:22:35I'll personally ensure every one of our partners know no one works with you ever again.
01:22:42Furthermore, I will have my lawyer investigate all that you did to my mother, and you will be held accountable
01:22:50to the full extent of the law.
01:22:54No.
01:23:06I'll be okay.
01:23:08No.
01:23:09No.
01:23:15No.
01:23:17I will kill you!
01:23:28Ma, let's go home.
01:23:52This was your favourite. Try it. I used your recipe.
01:23:57Should we go to the gardens this afternoon? I remember you said you wanted to plant some roses.
01:24:04Thank you. Both. You know, being here with you, it's more than I could ever ask for.
01:24:30Let's go.
01:24:32There's so many flowers here.
01:24:33Let's just get out of here.
01:24:35Here we go.
01:24:37Here we go.
01:24:42Do you know this lady, Willow? Is she like your mom?
01:24:50Of course not. My mom's on vacation in Europe.
01:24:52No, I'm not Willow. I am right here.
01:24:55You're mistaken, ma'am. I've never seen you before in my life.
01:24:58Okay, let's go in this case. Let's go to the coffee shop. Just have some drink.
01:25:07Madam, isn't that your daughter Miss Anderson? Would you like to go say hello?
01:25:12No need. I only have one daughter. Now let's go home.
