03:19oh
03:35I'd like to see you try and lay a hand on my daughter.
03:41Mom, Dad, how do I look?
03:45Stunning.
03:46You could wear the simplest thing and still outshine everyone.
03:52Emily, you look incredible.
03:55Did you like the birthday gift I got you?
03:58Of course, Aunt Sharon.
03:59I love everything you give me.
04:01Such a sweet little angel.
04:04Beautiful, polite.
04:06Not like this one.
04:08Dumb as a brick.
04:11Do you need a personal invitation?
04:13Say hello to Emily.
04:20God, she's embarrassing.
04:22Jesus, Sharon.
04:23That's your daughter.
04:24You treat her like she's your enemy's child.
04:27Oh, please.
04:28She's lucky I haven't cut her off already.
04:31Enough.
04:32Their birthday party is coming up and you expect her to show up at the party like this?
04:36Emily, sweetheart, take on upstairs.
04:39Clean her up.
04:40Take care of her.
04:44So, I hear you're handing the company over to Emily.
04:49Is that true?
04:51Yes, that's the plan.
04:53Why?
04:54Just curious.
04:56Emily is my blood.
04:58The second that ink dries, I'm taking her back.
05:01You really think the girl you've been abusing for 18 years is mine?
05:08I can't wait to watch your world collapse when you finally learn the truth.
05:20I don't want to ruin your carpet.
05:23It's just a carpet, not some museum piece.
05:26If it gets dirty, we clean it.
05:30Your room is incredible.
05:33And that dress, it's beautiful.
05:36Just like you.
05:38If you wore something elegant, you'd outshine everyone.
05:44Your mom gave me this one.
05:46But I want you to have it.
05:48No, really, I can't.
05:49It belongs to you.
05:51If my mom catches me wearing your clothes, she'll lose it.
05:54Anna, relax.
05:55I've got your back.
05:57And your birthday's almost here, too.
06:00Think of it as an early gift.
06:02Thank you, Emily.
06:09Oh, my God.
06:10You look amazing.
06:13She looks beautiful.
06:15Just missing the right shoes.
06:17These are for you, my birthday present.
06:20Put them on.
06:21Oh, Aunt Melanie.
06:23Thank you so much.
06:24No one's ever been this kind to me.
06:27Just you and Emily.
06:36Well, well.
06:37Now you're stealing Emily's clothes, too?
06:40Aunt Sharon, stop it.
06:42I gave it to her.
06:43You gave it away?
06:45Didn't want it anymore?
06:46Oh, that's okay.
06:48Come on, Emily.
06:49I'll take you shopping.
06:50Ten new dresses.
06:52That's not the point.
06:53I have more dresses than I can count.
06:56And Anna doesn't even have one decent outfit.
06:58She hasn't worn anything new in years.
07:01Dressing trash up in designer clothes?
07:04That's just insulting the fabric.
07:07Don't talk about her like that.
07:09It's cruel.
07:10Cruel?
07:11Please.
07:12With skin that thick, she barely notices.
07:16Take it off.
07:17The dress, the shoes, all of it.
07:19Those shoes were my gift to Anna.
07:22Do you really want her walking into her 18th birthday party with nothing fit to wear?
07:26Why not?
07:28Girls like her don't get fairy tales.
07:33Sharon!
07:34That's your child.
07:35How can you even say something like that?
07:37Oh, please.
07:38She's not made of glass.
07:40What are you staring at?
07:42I told you to take it off.
07:44Still standing there?
07:46Fine.
07:47I'll do it myself.
07:52Oh my god.
07:53Anna, you're bleeding.
07:54Don't touch her, Emily.
07:56She's disgusting.
07:57Look at her.
07:58She's shaking in fear.
08:01Come on, sweetheart.
08:02Let's go buy you something else.
08:04Let's go buy you something else.
08:09Anna.
08:12Your mother hasn't been the same since your father died.
08:16I'm so sorry, my love.
08:18Mrs. Saster.
08:20I wish...
08:23I wish you were my mom.
08:30Mom.
08:31I'm sorry.
08:33Please, please, please don't lock me in again.
08:36Mom, should we do something?
08:39That sounded really bad.
08:41Why is she always so cruel to Anna?
08:43It isn't our place, sweetheart.
08:45Honey, Sharon's gone too far.
08:49Shouldn't we step in?
08:50She warned us not to interfere before.
08:53Don't worry.
08:54She's still her daughter.
08:55She wouldn't actually kill her.
09:03Aunt Sharon.
09:04There's my girl.
09:08Jesus, Sharon.
09:10What the hell happened to Anna's leg?
09:12She ruined Emily's dress.
09:15So she was disciplined.
09:17Blacks don't make a spectacle.
09:19Kids heal.
09:20She'll live.
09:21Sharon, today is Anna's birthday, too.
09:24Whatever your excuse, don't touch her again.
09:26Easy.
09:27If she acts up, we'll just lock her in the basement.
09:30Exactly.
09:31Today belongs to Emily.
09:33She's your daughter, Sharon.
09:35Not Emily's servant.
09:37Melanie, I'm just your secretary, remember?
09:40So naturally, Anna doesn't belong on Emily's level.
09:44Emily, this is for me.
09:46Your gift.
09:49Emily, what happened to your hand?
09:52Why is it bandaged?
09:53How did you let her get hurt?
09:55It's a scratch, Sharon.
09:56She'll be fine in a day or two.
09:58Kids heal.
09:59You've said that yourself.
10:00How can you say that so casually?
10:03That hand is worth millions.
10:05Don't you understand what's at stake?
10:07Enough.
10:08You did this.
10:10Emily was bleeding because she was cleaning up after you.
10:14Why wasn't a maid doing it?
10:15What kind of parent lets their child pick up broken glass?
10:20Emily's responsible.
10:21She looks after her own space, and it's a small cut.
10:24Anna's hand is wrapped in gauze.
10:27That's different.
10:28Anna's built to take it.
10:30Don't ever compare them.
10:31She's inheriting millions.
10:33Anna's made for scrubbing floors.
10:36If her hands get ruined, who cares?
10:38So let me be clear.
10:40Your daughter is bleeding, and you don't even flinch.
10:44But my child gets a scratch, and you lose your mind?
10:47Sometimes you make it seem like Emily is your daughter.
10:53Oh, Melanie.
10:55We've been best friends forever.
10:57I've always treated your daughter like my own, and honestly, what's milk to a door?
11:02Yeah, let's be real.
11:04Anna could never hold a candle to Emily.
11:06Emily, sweetheart.
11:08You have exactly one responsibility in life.
11:11Enjoy it.
11:13All that dull, dirty work.
11:16Carrying things.
11:17Cleaning.
11:18That's Anna's role.
11:19That's what she's here for.
11:21You've turned your own daughter into a servant.
11:24Let's see how long that smug smile lasts once the truth comes out.
11:28Oh, Melanie.
11:29Did you bring the paperwork for the shares?
11:32I did.
11:32And there you go again, ruining my daughter's surprise.
11:36Wait, seriously?
11:37Mom, I'm only 18.
11:39You're already giving me company shares?
11:41Of course she is, Emily.
11:43Darling, you're intelligent.
11:45You're stunning.
11:46You were born to lead.
11:49I'm so proud of you.
11:51Well, she is my pride and joy.
11:54No one compares.
11:55And I mean, no one compares to my daughter.
12:00Keep gloating, Melanie.
12:02Once Emily gets those shares, I'll drop the real surprise.
12:10Hello.
12:11Yes.
12:12The results are in.
12:13I'll have my brother come collect them.
12:16Aunt Sharon, what results?
12:19Just something special I've been preparing.
12:23A surprise you will never forget.
12:25Another one?
12:26Trust me, sweetheart.
12:28Soon enough, everything will make sense.
12:31How intriguing.
12:33Then I suppose I'll be looking forward to it as well.
12:36Enjoy the moment, Melanie.
12:38Your public collapse has been my fantasy for years.
12:42All right.
12:43Everyone's here.
12:44What's that inside?
12:49Who's that next to Emily?
12:52Why is she dressed like that?
12:55Is she Emily's maid?
12:59Truth is, I've been grinding your precious princess into the dirt for 18 years.
13:06Feels good watching you finally choke on it.
13:12Thank you all for being here to celebrate my daughter, Emily, on her 18th birthday.
13:19And tonight, we're also acknowledging another milestone.
13:22My best friend's daughter is turning 18 as well.
13:25Wait, she's not the help?
13:27Who sends their kid out dressed like that?
13:29Most of you know Emily's story.
13:31Accepted into Harvard Business School at 15.
13:34Graduated at 17.
13:35Already making her mark inside the Astor Group.
13:42So today, I'm making it official.
13:45Today, I transfer all of my shares of the Astor Group to Emily.
13:50Happy birthday, sweetheart.
13:52You are now the majority shareholder of the Astor Group.
13:55This is my gift to you.
14:02Hey, look at me.
14:04You're my daughter.
14:05And I don't back losing bets.
14:07Remember that ski trip when you were 8?
14:09Standing at the top?
14:11Legs shaking, terrified to move.
14:13Now look at you.
14:14Advanced level, certified.
14:16Tearing through competitions like fear never existed.
14:19That's my girl.
14:20Brains and beauty.
14:23Clearly she takes after me.
14:25Mom, I won't let you down.
14:28I'll give this everything I have.
14:30Well said, Emily.
14:32Why are you so thrilled?
14:34She's not even your daughter.
14:36When Joshua comes back with the results, you'll understand exactly why I'm so thrilled.
14:41Sharon, today is Anna's birthday too.
14:44Aren't you going to give her your gift?
14:45Of course I am.
14:47I've prepared something very special for her.
14:55Auntie...
14:56Don't call me that anymore.
14:59My baby.
15:01I'm your mother.
15:06My baby.
15:07I'm your mother.
15:13Oh my god, Sharon.
15:15What the hell do you think you're doing?
15:17A few days ago, I took Anna to the hospital to have her checked.
15:22The doctor recognized me.
15:24Turns out years ago, he was jealous of your money.
15:28Your life.
15:29If we did something unforgivable, he switched our babies.
15:35After years of choking on guilt, he finally told me the truth.
15:40Sharon, jokes have limits.
15:44This isn't some trashy reality show.
15:46I'm not joking.
15:48Every word I said is true.
15:50Nice story.
15:51We raised Emily.
15:53There is no universe where she's yours.
15:56You can't just walk in here and claim Emily based on some stranger's confession.
16:01And even if you care about Emily, did you ever stop to think what this does to Anna?
16:05Her?
16:06I fed her.
16:07I clothed her.
16:08I paid for 18 years of schooling.
16:10That's already more than she ever earned.
16:13Now I'm done with her.
16:14I want my daughter back.
16:17Look at her, Sharon Shaw.
16:18You stomped the life out of that girl.
16:21And now you want applause for being a good mother?
16:25So you're absolutely certain you're standing here in front of everyone claiming Emily is yours?
16:32I knew there would be questions.
16:34That's why I did a DNA test.
16:37Joshua will be back with the results any second now.
16:41You actually went through with a DNA test?
16:45Of course I did.
16:46Science doesn't lie.
16:48But honestly, I didn't need it.
16:53No.
16:54No, no.
16:55This can't be right.
16:57What the hell is this?
16:58I've always known Emily was mine.
17:01From the moment she could walk, talk, she gravitated toward me.
17:07Blood always snows blood.
17:09Oh my god.
17:11No.
17:12No, this isn't happening.
17:14I know it's hard to swallow, Melanie.
17:17But the truth doesn't care about your feelings.
17:21So, do you like my surprise, sweetheart?
17:26Do you like my surprise, sweetheart?
17:29Mom.
17:30No, that's not your mother.
17:32She borrowed the title.
17:34I own it.
17:35I'm your real mother.
17:36Jesus Christ, Sharon.
17:37Sharon, the results aren't even here yet.
17:40You don't get to just snatch a child like this.
17:42They'll be here any second.
17:45I lost 18 years with my daughter.
17:48I am not losing another breath.
17:51Tell me, Sharon.
17:53Look me in the eye.
17:54Are you really that sure Emily is yours?
17:57Sure.
17:58I'm the one who switched them.
17:59I don't need some lab report to tell me what I already know.
18:04You keep acting like Emily doesn't belong to me.
18:07Why?
18:08Because Anna wasn't good enough for you?
18:12Hear that?
18:13Even your real parents don't want you.
18:16You were born disposable.
18:19Enough.
18:19I never look down on Anna.
18:21Never.
18:22This circus helps no one.
18:23The DNA results aren't even here yet.
18:25And all you're doing is tearing two children apart.
18:28I understand.
18:30Letting go hurts.
18:32You look at Anna and don't see the daughter you imagined.
18:35But Emily?
18:37She's mine.
18:38I'm just taking back what is mine.
18:41Don't listen to her, Melanie.
18:43We raised Emily.
18:44Every scraped knee.
18:46Every sleepless night.
18:48That doesn't vanish because of a lie and a piece of paper.
18:51We all saw it.
18:53Your heart, your time, everything.
18:59Everything Emily is, that's because of you.
19:01You don't just hand her over to someone like that.
19:05Joshua, you're back.
19:07Where is it?
19:08Give me the report.
19:09Sharon Shaw, what if it doesn't say what you think it does?
19:12Emily is mine.
19:14If you don't believe me, let science shut you up.
19:17Joshua, show them the report.
19:24Emily, you are my real daughter.
19:28You have always been mine.
19:33This can't be right.
19:35What the hell is this?
19:41Emily's not Sharon's daughter?
19:43Then the switch never happened.
19:45Our whole plan, gone.
19:49Look at it.
19:51Read it again.
19:52You can deny it all you want.
19:54Emily is mine.
19:55So do the right thing.
19:57Give me back my daughter.
19:59Are you out of your damn mind?
20:01That's not how this works.
20:03That's not how families work.
20:04Why not?
20:05I know you've grown attached, but biology doesn't care about feelings.
20:11I lost 18 years.
20:13Years.
20:14I can never get back.
20:16And all I want is to make it right.
20:20Mrs. Astor, my brother-in-law died working for you.
20:23You swore you'd protect my sister and her child.
20:27Now she's standing here asking for her daughter back.
20:30What's so unforgivable about that?
20:34Melanie, you're a mother.
20:37You know how deep a mother's love cuts.
20:40How it refuses to let go.
20:44Exactly.
20:45That's why I will never hand my daughter over to someone like you.
20:49Because this test is a lie.
20:52It's fake.
20:54Fake?
20:56What are you even saying right now?
20:58That's exactly what I'm saying.
20:59You really thought you could rip her out of our lives with a forged piece of paper?
21:03Yes.
21:04Yes.
21:04That report has to be fake.
21:06Sharon, you didn't honestly think you could fool us with a cheap lie, did you?
21:11How the hell did that bitch figure it out?
21:13Doesn't matter.
21:14Fake or not, it has to be real now.
21:16That's ridiculous.
21:17How dare you accuse us of fabricating a DNA report?
21:20This is insane.
21:22What proof do you have that it's fake?
21:24Don't you dare accuse my brother of fraud.
21:27He wouldn't risk prison over something like this.
21:30Exactly.
21:31Everyone suddenly wants Emily now.
21:32But Anna, Anna is the child my sister raised for 18 years.
21:37You think we'd just throw her away unless we were certain she wasn't ours?
21:41Raised her?
21:42That's what you call raising a child?
21:44I've seen you strike her.
21:46Your discipline is a nightmare.
21:48And that's not even mentioning the nights you locked her away, starved her, and treated her like she wasn't even
21:53human.
21:53I was strict because I cared.
21:57Discipline is love.
21:58Everything I did was for her own good.
22:00That's enough.
22:01If that test is real, a second one will prove it.
22:04Yours was done in private, behind closed doors.
22:06So let's do another one, right here.
22:09Right now, in front of everyone.
22:11What do you say, Sharon Shaw?
22:12Are you brave enough?
22:14Fine.
22:15Run it once.
22:16Run it a hundred times.
22:17It won't change a thing.
22:19Emily is still mine.
22:21Perfect.
22:22Then let's go to the hospital.
22:24Right now.
22:25No!
22:27I object.
22:28I don't agree with this.
22:29What's wrong, Joshua?
22:31Because right now, you look guilty as hell.
22:33No.
22:34I'm thinking about the girls.
22:36Another test?
22:37It might be too much for them.
22:38You know, emotionally.
22:40That's surprisingly considerate.
22:42I didn't realize you still had a beating heart in there.
22:45Look, Melanie.
22:46If you want to drag Anna through this circus again, fine.
22:50But think about Emily.
22:51She's been put through enough already.
22:54Look, even if the truth is complicated, the girls don't have to go anywhere.
22:59They can stay with you.
23:00Same house, same life.
23:02Nothing has to change.
23:04And we're just supposed to pretend none of this ever happened?
23:07How exactly do you imagine that working, Joshua?
23:10Oh, I understand now.
23:12You're embarrassed.
23:14Terrified that Anna might actually be your daughter.
23:17Why wouldn't we be?
23:18I don't care whose blood Emily carries.
23:21She's the one we raised.
23:23The one we invested our lives in.
23:25She's brilliant.
23:26Driven.
23:27Going somewhere.
23:28And Anna?
23:29Look at her.
23:31Look at what you turned her into.
23:34Maybe I wasn't perfect.
23:35Maybe I made mistakes.
23:38But all I want is to hear my real daughter call me.
23:43Mom, is that really too much to ask?
23:47Oh, spare us the performance.
23:49If this was really about reuniting with your daughter, you'd have done it quietly, privately.
23:53So why today?
23:54Why on Emily's birthday?
23:56You stormed in waving that DNA test like a trophy.
23:59Looks to me like she just wants a piece of Emily's success.
24:04That's why Anna was so easy to throw away.
24:07Honestly, who celebrates a baby switch like they've won the lottery?
24:10That's twisted.
24:10So tell me, Sharon, is being Emily's mother your endgame?
24:14Is that all this has ever been about?
24:18So tell me, Sharon, is being Emily's mother your endgame?
24:22Is that all this has ever been about?
24:24I honestly don't know what you're implying.
24:26Melanie, I don't trust her for a second.
24:29None of this smells right.
24:31Hey, watch your mouth.
24:33This has nothing to do with you.
24:34Oh, now you're trying to silence us too?
24:38Real convincing.
24:39Melanie, I know I failed Anna.
24:42I know I didn't give her the life she deserved.
24:45But none of that changes the truth.
24:47She is your biological daughter.
24:50If you could accept her, maybe, or just maybe, her life could finally improve.
24:56Oh, spare me.
24:57Is that what this is supposed to be about now?
24:59Saving Anna?
25:00Or is this just a convenient way to steal our daughter and sneak your hands into Melanie's company?
25:05Careful.
25:06That's a serious accusation.
25:08And borderline felony talk.
25:10Nobody planned this.
25:12Nobody wanted a baby switch.
25:14Melanie, we were best friends.
25:16My husband died driving for you.
25:19Anna and I worked for you for 18 years without complaint.
25:24How could you even think I'd betray you like this?
25:26After my brother-in-law died, I stepped up.
25:30I drove for your family day in, day out for years.
25:34Doesn't that earn any trust at all?
25:36I swear to you, Melanie, even if she's my biological daughter, I'll never let her forget what you've done for
25:43her.
25:43She'll never forget, please.
25:46The first thing I'd do is push you right out of that company.
25:50Melanie, you're finished.
25:52So all of this, this spectacle, is really just about switching the girls back?
25:58This isn't easy for me, either.
26:01What choice do we have?
26:03I lost my husband.
26:05I lost 18 years with Emily.
26:07I can't lose another second.
26:10You're my best friend, Melanie.
26:12All I'm asking for is the rest of my life with my real daughter.
26:17Please, don't take that from me.
26:20Alright, then let's switch them back.
26:22What?
26:23Have you completely lost your mind?
26:27What?
26:28Have you completely lost your mind?
26:31Maybe.
26:31Maybe they're not wrong.
26:33If the babies really were switched at birth, maybe they should be returned to where they belong.
26:37You've got to be kidding me.
26:38You're seriously going to hand our daughter to a manipulative psychopath because of one shady DNA report?
26:45Of course not.
26:47Melanie, oh, I knew you'd see reason.
26:49Don't worry, I'll raise Emily properly.
26:52No.
26:54I am her father.
26:56I won't discard my child because of a lab printout.
26:59Mr. Astor, your wife has already agreed.
27:02And DNA doesn't lie.
27:04So, whether you like it or not, this is happening.
27:07And Mrs. Astor, you've already transferred your shares to Emily.
27:11You're not planning to undo that now, are you?
27:14No, the paperwork is complete.
27:15Emily is now the largest shareholder of Astor Group.
27:18She's my successor.
27:19That's wonderful.
27:20I knew it.
27:22This was never about the children.
27:24This was always about the company.
27:27And what exactly are you going to do about it?
27:29Emily runs Astor Group now.
27:31And lucky for us, she's family.
27:33Mr. Astor, sorry, Andrew.
27:36Got a problem with that?
27:38Don't get too comfortable.
27:39My name is still on Emily's birth certificate.
27:42As long as I don't consent, no one is taking her anywhere.
27:46Oh, Andrew, why are you being so dramatic?
27:49The DNA report clearly proves Emily is my daughter.
27:52We can sue.
27:55Right now, we're merely extending you a courtesy.
27:58Don't go too far.
27:59Andrew, look at your wife, so calm.
28:03She built Astor Group from the ground up.
28:05And now, it all belongs to me.
28:08So why are you upset?
28:10Right, Mrs. Astor?
28:12That's not quite right, Joshua.
28:14She's no longer the mighty Mrs. Astor.
28:17What did you just say?
28:19Sharon.
28:20Oops, did I say that out loud?
28:23My mistake, darling.
28:24Astor Group, your life's work, your legacy, it's mine now.
28:30Astor Group, your life's work, your legacy, it's mine now.
28:35You're tossing these girls' lives around like poker chips.
28:38Tell me, are they your daughters or just your next investment?
28:42Don't get sentimental.
28:43We're simply reclaiming what was always ours.
28:46Melanie, you raised my daughter for 18 years.
28:49It's only fair I return the favor.
28:52Look at her.
28:53Look at how well I trained her.
28:55So obedient.
28:56She knows exactly where she belongs.
28:59Come here.
29:00Come here.
29:03What are you waiting for?
29:05Say it.
29:06Call her mom.
29:08Say it.
29:09Call her mom.
29:09Stop it.
29:11Even if Anna isn't your biological daughter, you've been her mother for 18 years.
29:16Don't you feel any guilt humiliating her like this?
29:18Melanie Astor, that broken little thing is yours now.
29:23A shattered puppet.
29:25And you'll spend the rest of your life wishing you never had her.
29:29Melanie, if you care that much, why don't you just take her?
29:33You people are monsters.
29:35Melanie, are you really going to stand there and let them rip apart our family and our company?
29:39You're smarter than this.
29:41Don't let them play you.
29:42Whatever happens, do not hand Emily over to them.
29:44Everyone, enough.
29:46Calm down.
29:46Sharon and Joshua aren't lying.
29:48Emily and Anna were switched at birth.
29:51I know.
29:52Because I saw it happen.
29:54What?
29:55You saw it with your own eyes?
29:58You saw it?
30:00Or were you delirious with pain?
30:02Hallucinating like a mad woman.
30:03I was delirious, but I wasn't blind.
30:06I watched you and Joshua switch my baby with your own hands, knowingly swapping newborns as a felony.
30:12So tell me, Sharon Shaw, if I turn you both in right now, what do you think happens to this
30:18little scheme of yours?
30:19You're bluffing.
30:20Why would I ever switch my daughter with yours?
30:23That's insane.
30:24No, what's insane is your hatred for me.
30:27You hated that I became CEO while you stayed my secretary, watching me win.
30:31So you struck where it hurt most.
30:34You tortured the child you thought was mine.
30:36Every bruise, every humiliation, every time you made her beg.
30:40And you made sure I saw it.
30:42Tell me I'm wrong.
30:43You...
30:44You saw all that?
30:46How do you even know what you saw was real?
30:49Melanie, are you out of your damn mind?
30:52You knew for years, and you just stood there while that bitch torturing our daughter for 18 years?
30:58I thought what she was a devote mother.
31:01Turns out she's a full-blown sociopath.
31:03You saw us switch the babies and did nothing?
31:06Let it happen.
31:08Maybe you wanted Anagon.
31:09Maybe you were ashamed of her.
31:11Maybe this was all you're doing.
31:13Listen to yourself.
31:14The truth just slipped right out.
31:16No, I wanted to see how far you'd go.
31:19I wanted to see what kind of monster you really were.
31:22So what?
31:23This was some kind of twisted experiment?
31:26You let her abuse our daughter for 18 years just to prove a point?
31:30Melanie?
31:31Or are you my mom?
31:33Anna?
31:34Just breathe, okay?
31:36It's not what you think.
31:38Just stop!
31:39Why...
31:39Why did I have to suffer?
31:41Just for your stupid grudge?
31:46Why did I have to suffer?
31:48Just for your stupid grudge?
31:51Uh, I...
31:54I called you mom for years, but you're not my mother.
31:59So what about me?
32:01What about every humiliation?
32:03Every abuse?
32:05Every night I cried myself to the sleeve.
32:08Unbelievable.
32:10I never imagined you could be this cold, Melanie.
32:13You stood by while your own daughter was tortured for 18 years.
32:18Honestly, Anna, I almost pity you now.
32:21You've been hating the wrong woman this whole time.
32:24No.
32:25I hate you.
32:27You broke me for your sick, twisted revenge.
32:31Oh, don't be dramatic.
32:33Be grateful.
32:35I could have also beaten you to death, but I didn't.
32:37Look how obedient you turned out.
32:40Why?
32:41Was I punished just because I wasn't born to you?
32:46You had to destroy me to prove something?
32:50Exactly.
32:51Because you are Melanie's daughter.
32:53Every time I saw your face, I felt disgusted.
32:57You hated me that much?
32:58Enough to steal my child and torment her?
33:01Yes.
33:02Because you had everything.
33:05And I lived in your shadow.
33:07So I made your daughter suffer.
33:09And then I'd look at my Emily.
33:12And then I'd look at my Emily.
33:12Smart.
33:13Strong.
33:14Beautiful.
33:16While your daughter flinched at every sound.
33:18Mom.
33:19Is what she's saying true?
33:22Melanie.
33:23You watched our own daughter get crushed for 18 years and you said nothing.
33:27What kind of mother does that make you?
33:29If you hated Sharon so much, why didn't you go after her?
33:33Why did you just stand there and let me be destroyed?
33:40You've broken my heart.
33:42Emily.
33:43Why?
33:44Why does everyone choose?
33:47Emily.
33:48Why did she get everything?
33:50Every year.
33:51Chanel.
33:52Grand parties.
33:53Cake's taller than me.
33:54And I got locked in room.
33:57Starved until I passed out.
33:59We were born on the same day.
34:01So tell me.
34:02What crime did I commit to deserve this?
34:04You.
34:05What makes you think you're even allowed to compare yourself to my daughter?
34:09I prayed for the day you and your precious mother would rot in hell together.
34:13You really surpassed yourself, Sharon.
34:16Don't play innocent now.
34:18Emily is disciplined.
34:19Composed.
34:21Obedient.
34:21If it weren't for the company, do you really think I'd have left her with you all these years?
34:26Enough.
34:27Enough.
34:27Anna and I are not your dolls to rearrange.
34:30Did any of you for even one second think about how we feel?
34:35Everything I did was for you, Emily.
34:39You've got everything.
34:40Power, success, status, me.
34:43You should be thanking me.
34:45I don't have a real mother.
34:47Not if she's messed up like you.
34:49You didn't do this for me.
34:51You did it for yourself.
34:54Emily.
34:55We did this for your future.
34:57We placed you in the Astor family so you'd have the best education, the best life.
35:02And this is the thanks we get?
35:04Ungrateful.
35:05And since we're talking about revenge, the most vicious person in this room is Melanie.
35:11He's right.
35:12Melanie's actions are worse than Sharon's.
35:14What kind of mother watches her own child get tortured for years and does nothing?
35:21Melanie.
35:23Melanie, Anna is broken.
35:25Emily despises you.
35:27Be satisfied now?
35:29If none of you wanted me, why did you give birth to me?
35:35If none of you wanted me, why did you give birth to me?
35:39I hated Sharon for breaking me into nothing.
35:42I hate you more.
35:44I used to pray you were my mom.
35:47And you were.
35:48And you wanted me to suffer anyway.
35:50Why?
35:51Why did you do this to me?
35:59Don't come any closer.
36:01Anna.
36:07So this is what it's come to, Melanie.
36:10Stop pretending already.
36:11Having a daughter like this is a stain on your life.
36:15If she dies, you should be relieved.
36:18You will regret this, Sharon.
36:20Regret?
36:21What should I regret?
36:23Not killing her sooner?
36:24She dared to hurt Emily today.
36:26This is the punishment she deserves.
36:28Keeping her alive is nothing but a waste of resources.
36:32Anna, don't close your eyes.
36:34Don't you dare fall asleep.
36:35I'm calling 911 right now.
36:38Why?
36:39Why?
36:40Anna?
36:41Anna?
36:42Anna!
36:44Hurry up.
36:45Call 911 now.
36:46Hello?
36:47Yes?
36:48911?
36:49Stop.
36:50That little bitch pointed a knife at Emily.
36:52This is the punishment she deserves.
36:55You stabbed Anna, Sharon.
36:57And now you're blocking me from calling for help.
36:59Do you actually want her dead?
37:01Don't be dramatic.
37:02That girl is thick-skinned.
37:05She won't die so easily.
37:07Besides, today she threatened Emily.
37:09Tomorrow she might actually stab her.
37:11I simply delivered justice.
37:13A lesson she'll never forget.
37:16So, in your world, teaching a lesson means punching a knife into someone?
37:21Enough!
37:22Stop fighting!
37:23Anna is bleeding out!
37:25We're taking her to the hospital now!
37:34Now!
37:34Doctor!
37:35Please!
37:36How is Anna?
37:37She's lost a dangerous amount of blood.
37:40Her body shows years of abuse.
37:42Old injuries that were never treated.
37:45We don't know if she'll ever wake up.
37:47Well, I guess that settles it.
37:49No more competition for Emily now.
37:51You turned a child into this.
37:53A half-dead body on a hospital bed and all you can think about is the company?
37:58Are you even human?
38:00Humanity?
38:00You're all that's rich coming from you, huh?
38:02Why wouldn't it come from me?
38:04I didn't stab my own daughter.
38:06What did you just say?
38:07The girl you stabbed tonight, the one you tried to kill, she isn't my daughter, Sharon Shaw.
38:13She's yours.
38:15The girl you stabbed tonight, the one you tried to kill, she isn't my daughter, Sharon Shaw.
38:21She's yours.
38:22Oh, my God.
38:24Have you completely lost your mind?
38:26Sharon, when you switched the babies, you were in such a rush, you didn't even bother to really look at
38:33them.
38:34At how different they were.
38:36What do you mean?
38:37Oh, please.
38:38All newborns look identical.
38:40No one can tell them apart.
38:41Then why do you suddenly look so nervous, Joshua?
38:43I'm not nervous.
38:45When Emily was born, I noticed a red birthmark on her wrist.
38:50Before I could even mention it, you had already rushed to swap the babies and had stolen her from me.
38:56A birthmark?
38:57No.
38:58That's...
38:59No, that's impossible.
39:00This can't be right.
39:01A birthmark proves nothing.
39:03Melanie, let's be honest.
39:05Your daughter's practically a vegetable now.
39:08You're desperate, spinning fantasies.
39:11Emily is my sister's child.
39:13DNA tests don't lie.
39:15Oh, I agree.
39:16A birthmark alone doesn't prove much.
39:19Which is why, while Anna was in surgery, I had the hospital run another DNA test.
39:24The results should be in any second now.
39:27Mrs. Astor, these are the DNA results you requested.
39:33What is this?
39:34Is this even real?
39:35What the hell is happening?
39:37Emily is your daughter?
39:39Then Anna is mine?
39:42What is this?
39:44Is this even real?
39:46What the hell is happening?
39:48Emily is your daughter?
39:50Then Anna is mine?
39:53Wait.
39:54Melanie.
39:56What on earth is going on here?
39:57Mom.
39:58Emily.
39:59Sweetheart.
40:00Don't worry.
40:00Mama's got this.
40:02I'll fix everything.
40:03No.
40:04No, this is fake.
40:06I'm intelligent.
40:07And I'm beautiful.
40:08There is absolutely no universe where I gave birth to that gutter rat.
40:13You read this.
40:14Admit it.
40:15You're just trying to claw your company back, aren't you?
40:17You're still lying to yourself, even now.
40:20Let me guess.
40:21The fake DNA test you arranged must have cost a fortune, huh?
40:25I don't know what you're talking about.
40:27Sharon, you have to believe me.
40:28Enough.
40:29Stop lying, both of you.
40:31If you wanted control of the Astor group, you needed Emily tied to yourself somehow.
40:35So you forged the DNA results, didn't you?
40:39It's true.
40:41You better not be lying to me.
40:45I clearly remember switching the babies that night.
40:48Oh, spare us the drama.
40:50Do you honestly think I'd watch my child be stolen and do nothing?
40:55I'm a mother, Sharon.
40:57Not an idiot.
40:59You switched them back so Anna really is mine.
41:05Oh, what have I done?
41:10Anna, baby, open your eyes.
41:13I'll handle everything else.
41:15I promise you'll spend the rest of your life safe and at peace.
41:20Anna.
41:21Oh, Anna, my baby girl.
41:23I'm sorry.
41:25I didn't know it was you.
41:27Please come back to me.
41:29Let me fix this.
41:31Let me make it right.
41:33Are you the patient's legal guardian?
41:35We found her body covered in injuries.
41:37Some recent.
41:38Others long healed over.
41:40Multiple infections.
41:46This is your fault.
41:47You planned this.
41:49If it weren't for you, I would have never laid a hand on my own daughter.
41:54You've lost your mind.
41:56Did I put bruises on her?
41:57Did I lock her in rooms?
41:59Starve her?
42:00No.
42:01You did that.
42:02Her condition is your work.
42:04Shut up.
42:04If you hadn't switched them back, Anna wouldn't be lying in a coma right now.
42:08Wake up, Sharon.
42:09For once in your life, take responsibility.
42:11Even if Anna were my daughter, so what?
42:14She's a child.
42:15She's innocent.
42:16Why drag her into your twisted revenge games?
42:20Because I wanted to hurt you.
42:22Tormenting your daughter was to see you suffer.
42:25That made me happy.
42:26You're sick.
42:27And you...
42:28Stop.
42:29Get a grip.
42:31Why the hell did you lie to me?
42:33You stood there and watched me stab my own daughter?
42:37Your own niece?
42:38I did it for you.
42:40She may never wake up, but the company still matters.
42:43We can't bring Anna back.
42:45But the business, we can rebuild from this.
42:49Melanie, you ruined my daughter.
42:51So now you owe me.
42:54Hand over the Aster Group as compensation.
42:58Hand over the Aster Group as compensation.
43:01Sharon, you've completely lost your damn mind.
43:04You stabbed your own daughter.
43:06You put her in that bed.
43:07Why on earth should we compensate you?
43:09Melanie, you knew the children hadn't been switched at birth.
43:13And you kept that truth buried for 18 years.
43:16We have every reason to believe you did it out of spite.
43:19You don't get to wash your hands of Anna's condition.
43:22Exactly.
43:23Every time I punished Anna, you were right there, watching.
43:26You didn't stop me.
43:28You wanted this.
43:29You wanted her dead.
43:30Oh, spare us.
43:32Every time we tried to stop you, you snapped at us.
43:35And every time we intervened, you tormented her worse.
43:39Hand over the Aster Group.
43:40Now, or I'll expose you.
43:43I'll tell the world how you destroyed my daughter's life.
43:45You'll be remembered as a monster.
43:49Expose me?
43:50After all the sick, twisted things you've done,
43:53you still think I'd let you walk away?
43:55Sharon Shaw, Joshua Shaw, you are both under arrest on charges including infant abduction,
44:01child abuse, and attempted murder.
44:05Melanie, you called the police on us?
44:07Of course.
44:09Crimes have consequences.
44:13You can't do this.
44:15Let go of me.
44:16Sharon, if you'd known this day was coming,
44:17you might have thought twice before becoming this person.
44:20Sharon Shaw, you destroyed your daughter with your own hands.
44:23Now spend the rest of your life behind bars trying to make up for it.
44:32It's been a year.
44:33The monsters are gone.
44:35You're safe now.
44:37Please wake up.
44:47Emily, happy birthday.
44:50Mom!
44:52Anna has woken up!
44:55Oh.
44:57Anna, thank God.
44:59You're awake.
45:01How do you feel?
45:02Aunt Melanie, thanks for caring for me this entire year.
45:06I heard every single thing you said.
45:08I'm so sorry for misunderstanding you.
45:11Oh, honey.
45:12I'm the one who failed to protect you.
45:14I should be asking for forgiveness.
45:17You and Emily, born on the same day.
45:20In my heart, you've always been daughters.
45:23Can Emily really be my sister?
45:26Anna, I have always considered you my sister.
45:30Then, can I call you Mom?
45:33Of course, sweetheart.
45:34If that's what you want.
45:38We are family now.
45:41And nothing and no one will ever hurt you again.
45:48You and Emily, born on the same day.
45:51You
