03:03oh
03:03oh
03:11it's okay my baby
03:13i won't let anyone hurt you
03:35I'd like to see you try and lay a hand on my daughter.
03:41Mom, Dad, how do I look?
03:45Stunning. You could wear the simplest thing and still outshine everyone.
03:52Emily, you look incredible. Did you like the birthday gift I got you?
03:58Of course, Aunt Sharon. I love everything you give me.
04:01Such a sweet little angel. Beautiful, polite. Not like this one. Dumb as a brick.
04:10What? Do you need a personal invitation? Say hello to Emily.
04:20God, she's embarrassing.
04:22Jesus, Sharon. That's your daughter. You treat her like she's your enemy's child.
04:26Oh, please. She's lucky I haven't cut her off already.
04:31Enough. Their birthday party is coming up and you expect her to show up at the party like this?
04:36Emily, sweetheart, take Aunt upstairs. Clean her up. Take care of her.
04:44So, I hear you're handing the company over to Emily. Is that true?
04:51Yes. That's the plan. Why?
04:54Just curious.
04:57Emily is my blood. The 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. If it gets dirty, we clean it.
05:31Your room is incredible. And that dress, it's beautiful. Just like you.
05:38If you wore something elegant, you'd outshine everyone.
05:44Your mom gave me this one. But I want you to have it.
05:47No, really, I can't. It belongs to you. And if my mom catches me wearing your clothes, she'll lose it.
05:54Anna, relax. I've got your back. And your birthday's almost here, too.
05:59Think of it as an early gift.
06:02Thank you, Emily.
06:09Oh, my God! You look amazing!
06:13She looks beautiful. Just missing the right shoes.
06:17These are for you. My birthday present. Put them on.
06:20Oh, Aunt Melanie. Thank you so much. No one's ever been this kind to me. Just you and Emily.
06:36Well, well. Now you're stealing Emily's clothes, too?
06:40Aunt Sharon, stop it. I gave it to her.
06:43You gave it away? Didn't want it anymore? Oh, that's okay. Come on, Emily. I'll take you shopping. Ten new
06:51dresses.
06:51That's not the point. I have more dresses than I can count. And Anna doesn't even have one decent outfit.
06:58She hasn't worn anything new in years.
07:01Dressing trash up in designer clothes? That's just insulting the fabric.
07:06Don't talk about her like that. It's cruel. Cruel? Please. With skin that thick. She barely notices. Take it off.
07:17The dress. The shoes. All of it.
07:19Those shoes were my gift to Anna. Do you really want her walking into her 18th birthday party with nothing
07:25fit to wear?
07:26Why not? Girls like her don't get fairy tales.
07:33Sharon! That's your child. How can you even say something like that?
07:37Oh, please. She's not made of glass. What are you staring at? I told you to take it off.
07:44Still standing there? Fine. I'll do it myself.
07:52Oh, my God. Anna, you're bleeding.
07:54Don't touch her, Emily. She's disgusting.
07:57Look at her. She's shaking in fear.
08:01Come on, sweetheart. Let's go buy you something else.
08:11Anna, your mother hasn't been the same since your father died. I'm so sorry, my love.
08:18Mrs. Saster. I wish... I wish you were my mom.
08:31Mom, I'm sorry. Please, please don't lock me in again.
08:36Mom, should we do something? That sounded really bad. Why is she always so cruel to Anna?
08:43It isn't our place, sweetheart.
08:45Honey, Sharon's gone too far. Shouldn't we step in?
08:50She warned us not to interfere before. Don't worry. She's still her daughter. She wouldn't actually kill her.
09:03Aunt Sharon.
09:04There's my girl.
09:08Jesus, Sharon. What the hell happened to Anna's leg?
09:12She ruined Emily's dress. So she was disciplined.
09:17Blacks don't make a spectacle. Kids heal. She'll live.
09:21Sharon, today is Anna's birthday too. Whatever your excuse, don't touch her again.
09:27Easy. If she acts up, we'll just lock her in the basement.
09:30Exactly. Today belongs to Emily.
09:33She's your daughter, Sharon. Not Emily's servant.
09:37Melanie, I'm just your secretary, remember? So naturally, Anna doesn't belong on Emily's level.
09:44Emily, this is for me. Your gift.
09:49Emily, what happened to your hand? Why is it bandaged? How did you let her get hurt?
09:55It's a scratch, Sharon. She'll be fine in a day or two. Kids heal. You've said that yourself.
10:00How can you say that so casually? That hand is worth millions. Don't you understand what's at stake?
10:07Enough. You did this. Emily was bleeding because she was cleaning up after you.
10:13Why wasn't a maid doing it? What kind of parent lets their child pick up broken glass?
10:20Emily's responsible. She looks after her own space, and it's a small cut. Anna's hand is wrapped in gauze.
10:26That's different. Anna's built to take it. Don't ever compare them. She's inheriting millions.
10:33Anna's made for scrubbing floors. If her hands get ruined, who cares?
10:38So let me be clear. Your daughter is bleeding, and you don't even flinch.
10:44But my child gets a scratch, and you lose your mind? Sometimes you make it seem like Emily is your
10:50daughter.
10:53Oh, Melanie. We've been best friends forever. I've always treated your daughter like my own, and honestly, let's knock to
11:02a door.
11:02Yeah, let's be real. Anna could never hold a candle to Emily. Emily, sweetheart. You have exactly one responsibility in
11:10life. Enjoy it.
11:13All that dull, dirty work. Carrying things, cleaning. That's Anna's role. That's what she's here for.
11:21You've turned your own daughter into a servant. Let's see how long that smug smile lasts once the truth comes
11:28out.
11:28Oh, Melanie. Did you bring the paperwork for the shares?
11:32I did. And there you go again, ruining my daughter's surprise.
11:36Wait, seriously? Mom, I'm only 18. You're already giving me company shares?
11:41Of course she is, Emily. Darling, you're intelligent. You're stunning. You were born to lead.
11:49I'm so proud of you.
11:51Well, she is my pride and joy. No one compares. And I mean, no one compares to my daughter.
12:00Keep gloating, Melanie. Once Emily gets those shares, I'll drop the real surprise.
12:10Hello, yes. The results are in. I'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. Another one?
12:26Trust me, sweetheart. Soon enough, everything will make sense.
12:31How intriguing. Then I suppose I'll be looking forward to it as well.
12:36Enjoy the moment, Melanie. Your public collapse has been my fantasy for years.
12:41All right, everyone's here. What'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.
13:05It feels 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. My best friend's daughter is turning 18 as well.
13:25Wait, she's not the help? Who sends their kid out dressed like that?
13:29Most of you know Emily's story. Accepted into Harvard Business School at 15, graduated at 17,
13:35already making her mark inside the Astor Group.
13:42So today, I'm making it official. Today, I transfer all of my shares of the Astor Group to Emily.
13:50Happy birthday, sweetheart. You are now the majority shareholder of the Astor Group.
13:55Astor Group. This is my gift to you.
14:02Hey, look at me. You're my daughter, and I don't back losing bets. Remember that ski trip when you were
14:09eight?
14:09Standing at the top, legs shaking, terrified to move. Now look at you. Advanced level, certified.
14:16Tearing through competitions like fear never existed.
14:19That's my girl, brains and beauty.
14:23Clearly, she takes after me.
14:26Mom, I won't let you down. I'll give this everything I have.
14:30Well said, Emily.
14:32Why are you so thrilled? She'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. Aren't you going to give her your gift?
14:45Of course I am. I've prepared something very special for her.
14:55Auntie, don't call me that anymore. My baby. I'm your mother.
15:06Oh my god, Sharon. What the hell do you think you're doing?
15:17A few days ago, I took Anna to the hospital to have her checked. The doctor recognized me.
15:24Turns out, years ago, he was jealous of your money. Your life.
15:30Though he 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. This isn't some trashy reality show.
15:46I'm not joking. Every word I said is true.
15:50Nice story. We raised Emily. There 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?
16:04Her? I fed her. I clothed her. I paid for 18 years of schooling. That's already more than she ever
16:12earned.
16:13Now I'm done with her. I want my daughter back.
16:17Look at her, Sharon Shaw. You stomped the life out of that girl. And now you want applause for being
16:23a 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. That's why I did a DNA test. Joshua will be back with the results
16:39any second now.
16:41You actually went through with a DNA test?
16:45Of course I did. Science doesn't lie. But honestly, I didn't need it.
16:53No. No, no. This can't be right. What the hell is this?
16:58I've always known Emily was mine. From the moment she could walk, talk, she gravitated toward me. Blood always snows
17:08blood.
17:09Oh my god. No. No, this isn't happening.
17:14I know it's hard to swallow, Melanie. But 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. She borrowed the title. I own it. I'm your real mother.
17:36Jesus Christ, Sharon. The results aren't even here yet. You don't get to just snatch a child like this.
17:42They'll be here any second. I lost 18 years with my daughter. I am not losing another breath.
17:51Tell me, Sharon. Look me in the eye. Are you really that sure Emily is yours?
17:57Sure. I'm the one who switched them. I don't need some lab report to tell me what I already know.
18:03You keep acting like Emily doesn't belong to me. Why? Because Anna wasn't good enough for you?
18:12Hear that? Even your real parents don't want you. You were born disposable.
18:18Enough. I never look down on Anna. Never. This circus helps no one. The DNA results aren't even here yet,
18:25and all you're doing is tearing two children apart.
18:28I understand. Letting go hurts. You look at Anna and don't see the daughter you imagined.
18:35But Emily? She's mine. I'm just taking back what is mine.
18:41Don't listen to her, Melanie. We raised Emily every scraped knee, every sleepless night.
18:48That doesn't vanish because of a lie and a piece of paper.
18:51We all saw it. Your heart, your time, everything.
18:59Everything Emily is, that's because of you. You don't just hand her over to someone like that.
19:05Joshua! You're back. Where is it? Give me the report.
19:08Sharon Shaw, what if it doesn't say what you think it does?
19:12Emily is mine. If you don't believe me, let science shut you up. Joshua, show them the report.
19:25Emily, you are my real daughter. You have always been mine.
19:33This can't be right. What the hell is this?
19:41Emily's not Sharon's daughter? Then the switch never happened. Our whole plan, gone.
19:49Look at it. Read it again. You can deny it all you want. Emily is mine. So do the right
19:56thing.
19:57Give me back my daughter. Are you out of your damn mind? That's not how this works. That's not how
20:03families work.
20:04Why not? I know you've grown attached, but biology doesn't care about feelings.
20:11I lost 18 years. Years. I can never get back. And all I want is to make it right.
20:19Mrs. Astor, my brother-in-law died working for you. You swore you'd protect my sister and her child. Now
20:28she's standing here asking for her daughter back. What's so unforgivable about that?
20:32Melanie, you're a mother. You know how deep a mother's love cuts. How it refuses to let go.
20:44Exactly. That's why I will never hand my daughter over to someone like you. Because this test is a lie.
20:52It's fake.
20:54Fake? What are you even saying right now?
20:58That's exactly what I'm saying. You really thought you could rip her out of our lives with a forged piece
21:02of paper?
21:04Yes. Yes. That report has to be fake. Sharon, you didn't honestly think you could fool us with a cheap
21:10lie, did you?
21:11How the hell did that bitch figure it out? Doesn't matter. Fake or not, it has to be real now.
21:16That's ridiculous. How dare you accuse us of fabricating a DNA report?
21:20This is insane. What proof do you have that it's fake? Don't you dare accuse my brother of fraud. He
21:27wouldn't risk prison over something like this.
21:30Exactly. Everyone suddenly wants Emily now. But Anna? Anna is the child my sister raised for 18 years. You think
21:37we'd just throw her away unless we were certain she wasn't ours?
21:41Raised her? That's what you call raising a child? I've seen you strike her. Your discipline is a nightmare.
21:47And that's not even mentioning the nights you locked her away, starved her, and treated her like she wasn't even
21:53human.
21:54I was strict because I cared. Discipline is love. Everything I did was for her own good.
22:00That's enough. If that test is real, a second one will prove it. Yours was done in private, behind closed
22:06doors. So let's do another one. Right here. Right now. In front of everyone.
22:11What do you say, Sharon Shaw? Are you brave enough?
22:14Fine. Run it once. Run it a hundred times. It won't change a thing. Emily is still mine.
22:21Perfect. Then let's go to the hospital. Right now.
22:25No! I object. I don't agree with this.
22:29What's wrong, Joshua? Because right now you look guilty as hell.
22:33No. I'm thinking about the girls. Another test. It might be too much for them. You know, emotionally.
22:40That's surprisingly considerate. I didn't realize you still had a beating heart in there.
22:45Look, Melanie. If you want to drag Anna through this circus again, fine.
22:49But think about Emily. She's been put through enough already.
22:54Look, even if the truth is complicated, the girls don't have to go anywhere. They can stay with you.
23:00Same house. Same life. Nothing has to change.
23:04And we're just supposed to pretend none of this ever happened? How exactly do you imagine that working, Joshua?
23:10I understand now. You're embarrassed. Terrified that Anna might actually be your daughter.
23:17Why wouldn't we be? I don't care whose blood Emily carries. She's the one we raised. The one we invested
23:24our lives in.
23:25She's brilliant, driven, going somewhere. And Anna, look at her. Look at what you turned her into.
23:34Maybe I wasn't perfect. Maybe I made mistakes. But all I want is to hear my real daughter call me,
23:44Mom.
23:45Is that really too much to ask?
23:47Oh, spare us the performance. If this was really about reuniting with your daughter, you'd have done it quietly, privately.
23:53So why today? Why on Emily's birthday? You stormed and waving that DNA test like a trophy.
23:59Looks to me like she just wants a piece of Emily's success. That's why Anna was so easy to throw
24:06away.
24:07Honestly, who celebrates a baby switch like they've won the lottery? That's twisted.
24:10So tell me, Sharon. Is being Emily's mother your endgame? Is that all this has ever been about?
24:22I honestly don't know what you're implying.
24:26Melanie, I don't trust her for a second. None of this smells right.
24:31Hey, watch your mouth. This has nothing to do with you.
24:35Oh, now you're trying to silence us too? Real convincing.
24:39Melanie, I know I failed Anna. I know I didn't give her the life she deserved.
24:45But none of that changes the truth. She is your biological daughter. If you could accept her, maybe, or just
24:52maybe, her life could finally improve.
24:56Oh, spare me. Is that what this is supposed to be about now? Saving Anna? Or is this just a
25:01convenient way to steal our daughter and sneak your hands into Melanie's company?
25:05Careful. That's a serious accusation. Borderline felony talk. Nobody planned this. Nobody wanted a baby switch.
25:14Melanie, we were best friends. My husband died driving for you. Anna and I worked for you for 18 years
25:22without complaint. How could you even think I'd betray you like this?
25:26After my brother-in-law died, I stepped up. I 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. The first thing I do is push you right out of that company. Melanie, you're finished.
25:51So all of this, this spectacle, is really just about switching the girls back?
25:58This isn't easy for me, either. What choice do we have? I lost my husband. I lost 18 years with
26:06Emily.
26:07I can't lose another second. You're my best friend, Melanie. All I'm asking for is the rest of my life
26:15with my real daughter. Please, don't take that from me.
26:20Alright. Then let's switch them back.
26:22What? Have you completely lost your mind?
26:28What? Have you completely lost your mind?
26:31Maybe. Maybe they're not wrong. If the babies really were switched at birth, maybe they should be returned to where
26:36they belong.
26:37You've gotta be kidding me. You're seriously gonna hand our daughter to a manipulative psychopath because of one shady DNA
26:45report?
26:45Of course not. I-
26:47Melanie, I knew you'd see reason. Don't worry. I'll raise Emily properly.
26:52No. I am her father. I won't discard my child because of a lab printout.
26:59Mr. Astor, your wife has already agreed. And DNA doesn't lie. So, whether you like it or not, this is
27:06happening.
27:07And Mrs. Astor, you've already transferred your shares to Emily. You're not planning to undo that now, are you?
27:14No. The paperwork is complete. Emily is now the largest shareholder of Astor Group. She's my successor.
27:19That's wonderful. I knew it.
27:22This was never about the children. This was always about the company.
27:26And what exactly are you going to do about it? Emily runs Astor Group now. And lucky for us, she's
27:33family.
27:34Mr. Astor, sorry, Andrew. Got a problem with that?
27:38Don't get too comfortable. My name is still on Emily's birth certificate. As long as I don't consent, no one
27:45is taking her anywhere.
27:46Oh, Andrew, why are you being so dramatic?
27:49The DNA report clearly proves Emily is my daughter. We can sue. Right now, we're merely extending you a courtesy.
27:58Don't go too far.
27:59Andrew, look at your wife. So calm. She built Astor Group from the ground up. And now, it all belongs
28:07to me. So why are you upset? Right, Mrs. Astor?
28:11That's not quite right, Joshua. She's no longer the mighty Mrs. Astor.
28:17What did you just say? Sharon!
28:20Oops! Did I say that out loud?
28:23My mistake, darling. Astor 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. Tell me, are they your daughters or just your next investment?
28:42Don't get sentimental. We're simply reclaiming what was always ours.
28:46Melanie, you raised my daughter for 18 years. It's only fair I return the favor. Look at her. Look at
28:53how well I trained her.
28:55So obedient. She knows exactly where she belongs. Come here. Come here.
29:03What are you waiting for? Say it. Call her mom. Say it. Call her mom.
29:10Stop it. Even if Anna isn't your biological daughter, you've been her mother for 18 years. Don't you feel any
29:17guilt humiliating her like this?
29:19Melanie Astor, that broken little thing is yours now. A shattered puppet. And you'll spend the rest of your life
29:26wishing you never had her.
29:29Melanie, if you care that much, why don't you just take her?
29:33You people are monsters. Melanie, are you really gonna stand there and let them rip apart our family and our
29:39company?
29:39You're smarter than this. Don't let them play you. Whatever happens, do not hand Emily over to them.
29:44Everyone, enough. Calm down. Sharon and Joshua aren't lying. Emily and Anna were switched at birth. I know. Because I
29:53saw it happen.
29:53What? You saw it with your own eyes?
29:58You saw it? Or were you delirious with pain? Hallucinating like a mad woman.
30:03I was delirious. But I wasn't blind. I watched you and Joshua switch my baby with your own hands, knowingly
30:11swapping 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. Why would I ever switch my daughter with yours? That's insane.
30:24No, what's insane is your hatred for me. You hated that I became CEO while you stayed my secretary, watching
30:31me win. So you struck where it hurt most. You tortured the child you thought was mine.
30:36Every bruise. Every humiliation. Every time you made her beg. And you made sure I saw it. Tell me I'm
30:43wrong.
30:43You... you saw all that? How do you even know what you saw was real?
30:49Melanie, are you out of your damn mind? You knew for years, and you just stood there while that bitch
30:55tortured our daughter for 18 years?
30:58I thought what she was a devote mother. Turns out she's a full-blown sociopath.
31:03You saw us switch the babies and did nothing? Let it happen. Maybe you wanted Anna gone. Maybe you were
31:10ashamed of her. Maybe this was all you're doing.
31:12Listen to yourself. The truth just slipped right out. No, I wanted to see how far you'd go. I wanted
31:20to see what kind of monster you really were.
31:22So what? This was some kind of twisted experiment? You let her abuse our daughter for 18 years just to
31:29prove a point?
31:30Melanie, or are you my mom?
31:33Anna, just breathe, okay? It's not what you think.
31:38Just stop! Why... why did I have to suffer? Just for your stupid grudge?
31:46Why did I have to suffer? Just for your stupid grudge?
31:51Anna, I...
31:54I called you mom for years, but you're not my mother. So what about me? What about every humiliation? Every
32:04abuse? Every night I cried myself to the sleeve.
32:08Unbelievable.
32:10I never imagined you could be this cold, Melanie. You stood by while your own daughter was tortured for 18
32:17years.
32:18Honestly, Anna, I almost pity you now. You've been hating the wrong woman this whole time.
32:24No. I hate you. You broke me for your sick, twisted revenge.
32:31Oh, don't be dramatic. Be grateful. I could have also beaten you to death, but I didn't. Look how obedient
32:38you turned out.
32:40Why? Was I punished just because I wasn't born to you?
32:44What? You had to destroy me to prove something?
32:50Exactly. Because you are Melanie's daughter. Every time I saw your face, I felt disgusted.
32:57You hated me that much? Enough to steal my child and torment her?
33:01Yes. Because you had everything. And I lived in your shadow. So I made your daughter suffer. And then I'd
33:10look at my Emily. Smart. Strong. Beautiful. While your daughter flinched at every sound.
33:18Mom. Is what she's saying true?
33:22Melanie. You watched our own daughter get crushed for 18 years and you said nothing. What kind of mother does
33:29that make you?
33:29If you hated Sharon so much, why didn't you go after her? Why did you just stand there and let
33:35me be destroyed?
33:40You've broken my heart, Emily.
33:43Why? Why does everyone choose? Emily? Why did she get everything? Every year, Chanel, grand parties, cakes taller than me,
33:54and I got locked in rooms. Starved until I passed out. We were born on the same day. So tell
34:01me, what crime did I commit to deserve this?
34:04You? What makes you think you're even allowed to compare yourself to my daughter? I prayed for the day you
34:10and your precious mother would rot in hell together.
34:13You really surpassed yourself, Sharon. Don't play innocent now. Emily is disciplined. Composed. Obedient. If it weren't for the company,
34:23do you really think I'd have left her with you all these years?
34:26Enough. Anna and I are not your dolls to rearrange. Did any of you, for even one second, think about
34:34how we feel?
34:35Everything I did was for you, Emily. You've got everything. Power, success, status, me. You should be thanking me.
34:45Emily, I don't have a real mother. Not if she's messed up like you. You didn't do this for me.
34:51You did it for yourself.
34:54Emily, we did this for your future. We placed you in the Astor family so you'd have the best education,
35:01the best life. And this is the thanks we get? Ungrateful.
35:05And since we're talking about revenge, the most vicious person in this room is Melanie. He's right! Melanie's actions are
35:13worse than Sharon's.
35:15What kind of mother watches her own child get tortured for years and does nothing?
35:22Melanie, Anna is broken. Emily despises you. Be satisfied now?
35:29If none of you wanted me, why did you give birth to me? If none of you wanted me, why
35:37did you give birth to me? I hated Sharon for breaking me into nothing. I hate you more!
35:44I used to pray you were my mom, and you were, and you wanted me suffer anyway. Why? Why did
35:52you do this to me?
35:59Don't come any closer! Anna!
36:07So this is what it's come to, Melanie. Stop pretending already. Having a daughter like this is a stain on
36:14your life. If she dies, you should be relieved.
36:18You will regret this, Sharon. Regret? What should I regret? Not killing her sooner? She dared to hurt Emily today.
36:26This is the punishment she deserves. Keeping her alive is nothing but a waste of resources.
36:32Anna, don't close your eyes. Don't you dare fall asleep. I'm calling 9-1-1 right now.
36:37Why? Why?
36:40Anna? Anna? Anna?
36:44Anna?
36:44Hurry up! Call 9-1-1 now! Hello? Yes? 9-1-1?
36:49Stop! That little bitch pointed a knife at Emily. This is the punishment she deserves.
36:55You stabbed Anna, Sharon. And now you're blocking me from calling for help? Do you actually want her dead?
37:01Be dramatic. That girl is thick-skinned. She won't die so easily.
37:07Besides, today she threatened Emily. Tomorrow she might actually stab her. I simply delivered justice. A lesson she'll never forget.
37:16So, in your world, teaching a lesson means punching a knife into someone?
37:21Enough! Stop fighting! Anna is bleeding out! We're taking her to the hospital now!
37:34Doctor! Please! How is Anna?
37:37She's lost a dangerous amount of blood. Her body shows years of abuse. Old injuries that were never treated. We
37:46don't know if she'll ever wake up.
37:47Well, I guess that settles it. No more competition for Emily now.
37:51You turned a child into this. A half-dead body on a hospital bed and all you can think about
37:56is the company? Are you even human?
38:00Humanity? Oh, that's rich coming from you, huh?
38:02Why wouldn't it come from me? I 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. She's yours.
38:22Oh, my God. Have 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. At how different they were.
38:36What do you mean?
38:37Oh, please. All newborns look identical. No 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. Before I could even mention it, you had
38:52already rushed to swap the babies and had stolen her from me.
38:56A birthmark? No. That's impossible. This can't be right.
39:01A birthmark proves nothing. Melanie, let's be honest. Your daughter's practically a vegetable now. You're desperate, spinning fantasies. Emily is
39:12my sister's child. DNA tests don't lie.
39:15Oh, I agree. A birthmark alone doesn't prove much. Which is why, while Anna was in surgery, I had the
39:22hospital run another DNA test. The results should be in any second now.
39:27Mrs. Astor, these are the DNA results you requested.
39:32What is this? Is this even real? What the hell is happening? Emily is your daughter? Then Anna is mine.
39:54Wait. Melanie, what on earth is going on here?
39:57Mom.
39:58Emily, sweetheart, don't worry. Mama's got this. I'll fix everything.
40:03No. No, this is fake. I'm intelligent. And I'm beautiful. There is absolutely no universe where I gave birth to
40:12that gutter rat. You've read this. Admit it. You're just trying to claw your company back, aren't you?
40:17You're still lying to yourself, even now. Let me guess. The fake DNA test you arranged must have cost a
40:23fortune, huh?
40:25I... I don't know what you're talking about. Sharon, you have to believe me.
40:28Enough. Stop lying, both of you. If you wanted control of the Astor Group, you needed Emily tied to yourself
40:34somehow. So you forged the DNA results, didn't you?
40:40True. True. You better not be lying to me. I clearly remember switching the babies that night.
40:48Oh, spare us the drama. Do you honestly think I'd watch my child be stolen and do nothing? I'm a
40:56mother, Sharon. Not an idiot.
41:00You... Switched them back so Anna really is mine. Now, what have I done?
41:10Anna, baby, open your eyes. I'll handle everything else. I promise you'll spend the rest of your life safe and
41:19at peace.
41:20Anna... Oh, Anna, my baby girl. I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you.
41:28Please come back to me. Let me fix this. Let me make it right.
41:33Are you the patient's legal guardian? We found her body covered in injuries. Some recent. Others long healed over. Multiple
41:41infections.
41:46This is your fault. You planned this. If it weren't for you, I would have never laid a hand on
41:51my own daughter.
41:54You lost your mind. Did I put bruises on her? Did I lock her in rooms? Starve her? No. You
42:01did that. Her condition is your work.
42:04Shut up. If you hadn't switched them back, Anna wouldn't be lying in a coma right now.
42:08Wake up, Sharon. For once in your life, take responsibility. Even if Anna were my daughter, so what? She's a
42:14child. She's innocent. Why drag her into your twisted revenge games?
42:20Because I wanted to hurt you. Tormenting your daughter was to see you suffer. That made me happy.
42:26You're sick. And you...
42:28Stop. Get a grip.
42:31Why the hell did you lie to me? You stood there and watched me stab my own daughter? Your own
42:38niece?
42:38I did it for you. She may never wake up, but the company still matters. We can't bring Anna back.
42:45But the business, we can rebuild from this.
42:49Melanie, you ruined my daughter. So now you owe me. Hand over the Aster Group as compensation.
42:58Hand over the Aster Group as compensation.
43:01Sharon, you've completely lost your damn mind. You stabbed your own daughter. You put her in that bed. Why on
43:08earth should we compensate you?
43:09Melanie, you knew the children hadn't been switched at birth. And you kept that truth buried for 18 years. We
43:16have every reason to believe you did it out of spite. You don't get to wash your hands of Anna's
43:21condition.
43:22Exactly. Every time I punished Anna, you were right there, watching. You didn't stop me. You wanted this. You wanted
43:30her dead.
43:30Oh, spare us. Every time we tried to stop you, you snapped at us. And every time we intervened, you
43:37tormented her worse.
43:39Hand over the Aster Group. Now, or I'll expose you. I'll tell the world how you destroyed my daughter's life.
43:45You'll be remembered as a monster.
43:49Expose me? After all the sick, twisted things you've done? You still think I'd let you walk away?
43:55Sharon Shaw. Joshua Shaw. You are both under arrest on charges including infant abduction, child abuse, and attempted murder.
44:05Melanie, you called the police on us?
44:07Of course. Crimes have consequences.
44:13You can't do this! Let go of me!
44:16Sharon, if you'd known this day was coming, you 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.
44:31It's been a year. The monsters are gone. You're safe now. Please wake up.
44:46Emily. Happy birthday.
44:50Mom! Anna has woken up!
44:54Oh. Anna, thank God. You're awake. How do you feel?
45:02Aunt Melanie, thanks for caring for me this entire year. I heard every single thing you said. I'm so sorry
45:09for misunderstanding you.
45:11Oh, honey. I'm the one who failed to protect you. I should be asking for forgiveness. You and Emily, born
45:18on the same day. In my heart, you've always been daughters.
45:22Can Emily really be my sister? Anna, I have always considered you my sister. Then, can I call you mom?
45:33Of course, sweetheart. If that's what you want.
45:38We are family now. And nothing and no one will ever hurt you again.
