00:00:01Eight years. It's been eight long years since I last saw my little Ashley. Today's the day I finally get
00:00:10to see my daughter get married. Happy birthday, sweetheart.
00:00:16Thanks, Mom. Your presents are always my favorite. Anyway, today is Ashley's big day and Mom is here with your
00:00:25favorite gifts.
00:00:32Whoa, lady, stop. Stop. You don't want to try panhandling here and no loitering neither. Do yourself a favor. This
00:00:39is a high-end joint and you clearly don't belong here. So get out before I drag you out.
00:00:48Wait, stop. Hold on a second.
00:00:50Miss Anderson.
00:00:53Ashley.
00:00:57Ashley.
00:00:58Mom.
00:01:00Can we talk over there?
00:01:05What are you doing here? I told you not to come.
00:01:08Well, I...
00:01:10Every mother wants to see their little girl walk down the aisle.
00:01:14I brought you some of your favorites from home. Strawberry jam. Turkey jerky. And I needed you the scarf.
00:01:29Are you serious right now? What am I supposed to do with all of these? Do you have any idea
00:01:33who I'm marrying?
00:01:34Oh, my God. It smells like a barn.
00:01:40Ashley. I can see you don't want me here. Can I just watch?
00:01:46No, Mom.
00:01:47I told everyone that you were traveling abroad. And you just couldn't make it. Now you just show up out
00:01:53of the blue. How am I even going to explain that?
00:01:58I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought it would be a nice surprise.
00:02:05Mom, you work too hard. When I grow up, I will take you to the fanciest restaurant and go on
00:02:12a beach vacation.
00:02:14Thank you, sweetheart.
00:02:16I thought you would be happy to see me.
00:02:20Ashley.
00:02:24Who's this?
00:02:28Uh...
00:02:30Uh...
00:02:31This...
00:02:31This is my, um...
00:02:33My Aunt Nancy.
00:02:34She just...
00:02:35Dropped in.
00:02:36Got it. Welcome.
00:02:38Why don't you just invite your auntie in?
00:02:40Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:02:43Okay.
00:02:44Fine.
00:02:46But don't embarrass me.
00:02:48Remember...
00:02:48Your Aunt Nancy.
00:03:03It's magnificent.
00:03:05My little girl is marrying into a whole other world.
00:03:10I hear she has no family attending the wedding. That's so sus.
00:03:14They say she comes from poor's.
00:03:16She's probably some country hick who somehow clawed her way into the Anderson family.
00:03:25Well...
00:03:26What are you talking about?
00:03:28Who else?
00:03:29The bride, of course.
00:03:32You can tell by her posture alone that she comes from broke trash.
00:03:36But she acts like she's a goddamn princess.
00:03:39Yeah.
00:03:40Even her mother didn't show up.
00:03:42Either...
00:03:43Ashley...
00:03:44Is ashamed.
00:03:45Or Mom abandoned her.
00:03:47Either way.
00:03:49It's alone plus shit.
00:03:52None of what you're saying is true.
00:03:55Ashley is kind and thoughtful.
00:03:58And she may have a humble background.
00:04:00But she's rich in character.
00:04:03Who are you anyway?
00:04:05Who are you anyway?
00:04:05You know usually the janitors don't show up until after the wedding.
00:04:10Look at her clothes.
00:04:12My socks cost more than all the clothes set.
00:04:18Wait, wait.
00:04:19Don't tell me she's related to the bride.
00:04:21That would be...
00:04:22Yikes.
00:04:24As a matter of fact...
00:04:26Yes, I'm here for Ashley.
00:04:29I knew it.
00:04:33I almost feel sorry for Ashley.
00:04:36She worked so hard to hide people like you from us.
00:04:41Little princess must be mortified.
00:04:44You're here.
00:04:48Mortified?
00:04:49What am I doing to embarrass her?
00:04:53And what would you know about my bank account?
00:04:56Oh my god lady.
00:04:57Do I really have to spell it out for you?
00:04:59That sad little outfit of yours wouldn't even hit 50 bucks.
00:05:03What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:06You!
00:05:08What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:11You!
00:05:12You just standing there.
00:05:14Get back to work.
00:05:15Setting tables or whatever it is that you people do.
00:05:19I'm having a word with your manager about...
00:05:22Hiring better staff.
00:05:23Look at you.
00:05:24Filthy.
00:05:25Ma'am, I'm not part of the staff.
00:05:28Please.
00:05:29You don't expect me to believe that you're on my list.
00:05:32Lucy, actually yes.
00:05:34She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:37I'm with you Lucy.
00:05:38It doesn't look like she belongs here.
00:05:40Shhh.
00:05:43Well, someone's obviously mistaken.
00:05:46Because I went through the guest list myself and Ashley never mentioned somebody like her.
00:05:52Well, maybe you missed it.
00:05:54I don't think so.
00:05:57Who are you really?
00:05:59I think you should leave before I call security.
00:06:03I'm not leaving.
00:06:05I'm here to see Ashley.
00:06:07Ashley.
00:06:08But Ashley didn't put you on the list.
00:06:11Did she?
00:06:12Or are you here hoping for a handout?
00:06:16I mean, these gifts of the bride and groom, they're not for guests.
00:06:24All I wanted was to be here for Ashley.
00:06:27Fine.
00:06:28If you want to continue with this madness, then you just prove this on yourself, haven't you?
00:06:39What?
00:06:40Lucy, maybe just let it go.
00:06:41It's your son's big day.
00:06:43You shouldn't be getting your hands dirty.
00:06:44No way.
00:06:46That lady deserved it.
00:06:48Somebody had to teach her a lesson.
00:06:50I'm not here to cause trouble.
00:06:53I'm just here for the ceremony and to bring some gifts for the bride.
00:06:59Really?
00:07:00Let's see what delightful little treasures that you've dragged in here.
00:07:08Incredible.
00:07:11Preserves.
00:07:17Dried meat.
00:07:21And a scarf that smells like the bottom of a stable.
00:07:35Shall I show you what we do with the trash?
00:07:41No!
00:07:42What are you doing?
00:07:44Stop!
00:07:45Somebody help me, please!
00:07:48I told you.
00:07:50But I couldn't do what the fuck I love.
00:07:56I'm Ashley.
00:07:59Mother.
00:08:06Ashley's mother is vacationing in Switzerland.
00:08:10Although my daughter-in-law's family may not be at our level, they are very respectable.
00:08:17What the hell are you?
00:08:20Did she really say that?
00:08:22Of course.
00:08:24Did you really think you could come waltzing in here and ruin my son's wedding?
00:08:31You're not the first freeloading fraud that I've encountered.
00:08:37Don't worry everyone.
00:08:39This old bag lady, she won't be troubling us much longer.
00:08:44Yeah, kick her ass out.
00:08:46I'm sick of help from the little face.
00:08:58Why are you crazy? Are you gonna murder me in public?
00:09:03Why not? Who'd even notice if you were gone?
00:09:13Mother?
00:09:17Mother?
00:09:22Mother?
00:09:24Ashley, do you know this woman?
00:09:27So why wasn't she on the guest list?
00:09:30That's my...
00:09:32A distant relative.
00:09:34Aunt Nancy.
00:09:36She dropped by last minute.
00:09:38Yes, we met her at the entrance.
00:09:41I'm...
00:09:43Hi, Mariette Nancy.
00:09:47Your mother's in Switzerland, that's right, isn't it?
00:09:51Yes, of course.
00:09:53Lying's not going to get you very far in my world.
00:09:57Your niece, my daughter-in-law, isn't going to follow your tall tales.
00:10:05Okay, Auntie?
00:10:18I...
00:10:18I never wanted any of this. I just wanted... to see Ashley happy.
00:10:25Happy? With you here?

00:18:16It's me! Lauren!
00:18:20Lauren? Is it really you?
00:18:24Ma was always so kind to me. I mean, she adopted me and raised me as her own.
00:18:31Now you're both my precious girls.
00:18:34Then in college, my birth parents reached out after the hurricane.
00:18:38Everything was so confusing and I was so lost.
00:18:42Now I've got all this money and a new life, but God, I still miss Ma so much.
00:18:48I searched for you for years!
00:18:51I didn't know if you survived the hurricane.
00:18:56What happened?
00:18:58I fell.
00:18:59I fell.
00:19:02Ma, I reconnected you with my birth parents.
00:19:06So much has happened.
00:19:08I thought you'd all forgotten about me.
00:19:13Never!
00:19:15Never!
00:19:22Mom.
00:19:23Let's go, Mom.
00:19:39Oh, Lauren, I can't go inside. I don't belong here. I should go.
00:19:44Mom! What are you saying?
00:19:46Your family. My home is your home.
00:19:51Lauren!
00:19:53Who's this?
00:19:57This is my adoptive mother.
00:20:00The woman who raised me.
00:20:02Mom.
00:20:03This is William.
00:20:05He is my-
00:20:06Another mother!
00:20:08Lauren, this is a lot to drop on somebody.
00:20:10How am I supposed to process this?
00:20:12Lauren, what other secrets are you hiding?
00:20:14What else is there?
00:20:16I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:20:18I should go.
00:20:19I'll only be in the way here.
00:20:22No!
00:20:23No, please!
00:20:24Stay!
00:20:25Lauren, I don't want to come between you and your boyfriend.
00:20:29Ma, you are not just some outsider.
00:20:32Okay?
00:20:33Forget him!
00:20:34Let's just go inside.
00:20:38Babe, I wish you told me your mother was coming in advance.
00:20:41I could have gotten a nicer gift.
00:20:44Nancy, I'm William. I'm Lauren's fiancé.
00:20:46Please excuse my behaviour from earlier.
00:20:48Sometimes I can get a little bit anxious.
00:20:50But no excuse, okay?
00:20:52Come inside, take your shoes off. Let's get comfortable.
00:20:55Hopefully you can accept this gift from me as well.
00:21:01Thank you, William. Did you say Lauren's fiancé?
00:21:09Yes, Mom. I'm doing well.
00:21:12You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:21:15No, that's more like it.
00:21:19Come on. Let's go inside.
00:21:22And chill.
00:21:26What a disaster of a wedding you've pulled off.
00:21:30Embarrassing.
00:21:32Chaotic.
00:21:33You're pulling up on your own and you bring in this distant aunt to humiliate me.
00:21:39Mother, I'm sorry. I...
00:21:41Sorry doesn't cut it.
00:21:43You barely earn anything and you can't even afford a goddamn housekeeper.
00:21:48I could have asked my wife Nancy to help her around the house.
00:21:52She'll do it for real cheap and she'll do whatever you want.
00:21:56All right.
00:21:57But if she doesn't make this place sparkle, she will not get a penny.
00:22:13My shoes are dirty. My socks have holes in them. I should... I should just stay here.
00:22:28Hey, don't worry about it. This floor, it was made for you to walk on.
00:22:36Mom.
00:22:38You've worked your whole life.
00:22:40You gave me everything.
00:22:42You shouldn't have to feel like a stranger in your own daughter's home.
00:22:45Mom.
00:22:49Both.
00:22:58Mom.
00:23:00You don't need to be nervous.
00:23:02This is your home now.
00:23:05You can retire.
00:23:07Enjoy life.
00:23:08Exactly.
00:23:09Okay.
00:23:11I never thought I'd be able to quit working, much less live like this.
00:23:17It's all a little overwhelming to be honest.
00:23:20By the way, Mom, what brought you to the city?
00:23:22I came for Ashley's wedding.
00:23:24Oh my God, really?
00:23:27Ashley married?
00:23:29That's Mom's biological daughter. We grew up together.
00:23:32I remember you said you had a sister, but you didn't really say much about her.
00:23:36We haven't been in touch in forever. We lost contact after college.
00:23:41Who did she marry?
00:23:43Steven Anderson.
00:23:45Oh, the Andersons. I love them.
00:23:48They have a company with great growing potential. Good for Ashley.
00:23:53Yeah.
00:23:55You seem like a good match.
00:24:06Hello?
00:24:06Hey Mom, it's me.
00:24:08Ashley.
00:24:10About earlier.
00:24:11Yeah, um, forget it.
00:24:13Hey, can you come to my house tomorrow?
00:24:15Don't get the wrong idea.
00:24:17We're just really busy with the baby and we need an extra hand.
00:24:20I assume you're not busy, right?
00:24:21Yes.
00:24:22No, yeah, no problem.
00:24:24I'm glad I can help.
00:24:26And I can see my grandchild, right?
00:24:29Willow?
00:24:30Yeah, sure.
00:24:31Um, but just so you know we can't pay you a lot.
00:24:34My finances are really tied up right now.
00:24:36I don't need money.
00:24:37I...
00:24:38Seeing you and my grandchild is more than enough.
00:24:41Uh, I...
00:24:42This means the world to me.
00:24:44Cool. I'll text you the address.
00:24:50Okay, Mom, it's done.
00:24:51She'll start with tomorrow.
00:24:53Hmm.
00:24:54Well, she better do a good job.
00:24:57Or she'll answer to me.
00:25:02Lauren, I...
00:25:03I think I have to leave.
00:25:05Ashley needs me.
00:25:06Oh.
00:25:07Is she okay?
00:25:09Well, yes.
00:25:10Um, busy, you know.
00:25:12And I'm...
00:25:13I'm gonna go help out over there.
00:25:16Okay.
00:25:18I understand.
00:25:20Please come back soon.
00:25:24I'll send Ashley a gift.
00:25:26Something to help her with her career.
00:25:28We may not be close anymore, but we're still sisters, and...
00:25:32I want you both to have the best life possible.
00:25:35Thank you, Lauren.
00:25:47Ashley, can you not do one thing right for a change?
00:25:51Ashley's mother's right.
00:25:54This wedding costs a fortune.
00:25:56I, um...
00:25:57I called Aunt Nancy.
00:25:59She will cook, clean, whatever.
00:26:01It'll save us a lot of time and energy.
00:26:03A bargain being relative.
00:26:05Is that the single thing that you can bring to this marriage?
00:26:10Sad.
00:26:12Oh, sorry.
00:26:16Hello?
00:26:17The Brooks Group wants to partner with me?
00:26:21I...
00:26:22I get the $5 million commission?
00:26:25What?
00:26:28Mom!
00:26:29Stephen!
00:26:30The Brooks Group, they want to work with me, and I get $5 million!
00:26:34It's a miracle!
00:26:35Oh!
00:26:37Well...
00:26:40Well, well, Ashley!
00:26:42I always knew you were a good girl.
00:26:45Deep down.
00:26:48The Brooks Group, they are the biggest corporation in the city!
00:26:52And this is going to triple our business value.
00:26:57Ashley, baby, I knew you could do it.
00:27:01Now tell me, how in the world did you land a deal with the Brooks Group?
00:27:05I...
00:27:05Honestly, I...
00:27:07I don't know.
00:27:08They...
00:27:08They said that there's going to be a banquet next week, and we're going to sign the contract there.
00:27:12Oh!
00:27:13I am so proud of you, darling!
00:27:17Oh!
00:27:18Aunt Nancy.
00:27:19I'm coming!
00:27:21Sorry.
00:27:23Uh...
00:27:24Hey.
00:27:25So...
00:27:25Remember, you're my Aunt Nancy.
00:27:28If you want to stay here, don't forget that.
00:27:29Got it?
00:27:32Shhh!
00:27:37Shhh!
00:27:40Stop right there!
00:27:42Look at your shoes!
00:27:45Covered in mud!
00:27:46You dare to walk in like that?
00:27:54Sorry.
00:27:56Sorry.
00:27:57Sorry.
00:27:58Now, take off your shoes, kneel down, and clean every inch that you step.
00:28:08Then, you can enter.
00:28:09No.
00:28:15Mom's right, Aunt Nancy.
00:28:16You just...
00:28:16Hurry up and clean the floor.
00:28:40That's much more like it.
00:28:52There's my itty-bitty baby!
00:28:56I'll go prepare them for me.
00:29:19I'll go outside.
00:29:20There's my itty-bitty baby.
00:29:20No!
00:29:21Who is Mama's girl?
00:29:28That must be my granddaughter.
00:29:31Oh, sweet child, I'd stay here forever, just for her.
00:29:43Hello, Willow.
00:29:45Don't touch my grandolta.
00:29:47She's my granddaughter, too.
00:29:54Ashley insists you know how to cook.
00:29:57We'll see about that.
00:29:59You know, we keep a very strict inventory around here.
00:30:03What is that?
00:30:05Supposed to mean...
00:30:07You think I'd steal something?
00:30:09Of course, it's in your nature.
00:30:12I almost don't blame you, but if anything goes missing, I will blame you.
00:30:25If just one is unaccounted for, you will regret it.
00:30:37What are you doing, people?
00:30:38I think I'm doing something.
00:30:40Subcommanded.
00:30:48Who said you could eat with us?
00:30:52I don't understand.
00:30:54How many times do I need to explain it to you, dollard?
00:31:00Look at you, dressed like a beggar.
00:31:04Don't eat somewhere out of my sight.
00:31:06But what is etiquette to sit here?
00:31:10She is a professional nanny, an entirely other breed.
00:31:15We pay top dollar to have her take care of our children.
00:31:19Do you think you're in the same league?
00:31:21I just...
00:31:22Aunt Nancy, just go eat in the kitchen.
00:31:24I see.
00:31:49Ashley?
00:31:52This is...
00:31:52This is a toilet.
00:31:54Is that a dog bowl?
00:31:55Sorry, yeah, there's another guest room.
00:31:57You'll just have to make do.
00:31:58We used to have a puppy in here, but we got rid of it.
00:32:01Mom hated the snow that it shed too much.
00:32:04Really?
00:32:05They make me sleep in a toilet room crowded next to it.
00:32:11Toilet bowl?
00:32:13Look, there's really no other room, okay?
00:32:15I mean, if you want to clear more space, you can get rid of the trash.
00:32:19There's some old towels.
00:32:20You can lay those out.
00:32:21There's even water.
00:32:22A dog could survive in here.
00:32:23I don't know what else you need.
00:32:27Ashley?
00:32:28Bring me some grapes.
00:32:29Now!
00:32:30Coming, Mother!
00:32:34Oh, and don't forget to close the door.
00:32:36Mom hated the smoke.
00:32:42Ashley, what happened to you?
00:32:44How can you do this to me?
00:32:53No!
00:32:54What are you talking about, Billy?
00:32:57You can't break up with me!
00:33:00Well...
00:33:01I don't consent!
00:33:05Loser!
00:33:06What?
00:33:08Shut up!
00:33:12Drug you, you piece of shit!
00:33:16What's happening?
00:33:17I heard Willow crying.
00:33:18She sounds scared.
00:33:20It's nothing!
00:33:22What's that?
00:33:26Sleeping pills!
00:33:28Are you drugging Willow?
00:33:29She's...
00:33:30She's just a baby!
00:33:32Give it back!
00:33:33No!
00:33:33I'm not doing anything!
00:33:34You stupid bitch!
00:33:44What's going on in here?
00:33:47Ma'am, she was trying to give sleeping pills to Willow.
00:33:51I didn't, I swear.
00:33:53I walked in and...
00:33:56You trying to hurt my grandchild?
00:33:59What's going on in here?
00:34:02Ashley, your aunt has tried to poison Willow.
00:34:05She's giving sleeping pills to her baby.
00:34:09I didn't!
00:34:10I swear, please listen to me!
00:34:13I...
00:34:16I didn't...
00:34:17It was her!
00:34:20I was trying to protect Willow!
00:34:23Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, you know my credentials.
00:34:26Why would I do this?
00:34:28You disgusting creature!
00:34:31I scold you of your times?
00:34:34And you take it out of my grandchild?
00:34:37No, no, no...
00:34:41Mother!
00:34:42Her arm is bruised!
00:34:44My poor Willow!
00:34:46How could Sally do something like this to you?
00:34:49Call the police! Now!
00:34:52This lady must have done it while I was in the kitchen!
00:34:55That's why Willow started crying!
00:34:57I came in here because I heard her crying.
00:35:00You have to believe me!
00:35:02Liar!
00:35:03I'll strip you down myself and find the evidence.
00:35:06And then I'll hand you over to the police personally!
00:35:11I didn't do it!
00:35:13Leave me alone!
00:35:15You just push me!
00:35:17You dare lay a finger on me!
00:35:21Unlike a baby!
00:35:22I can fight back, you filthy cunt!
00:35:28Actually, you know I can never do something like this, Steven!
00:35:33Maybe we should just...
00:35:35Just what?
00:35:36She's fucking trying to murder our child!
00:35:37Are you seriously sliding with her right now?
00:35:40No, of course not!
00:35:42Aunt Nancy!
00:35:43Just tell the truth!
00:35:45Was it you?
00:35:48Ashley!
00:35:50You don't believe me either!
00:35:53How could I do something like this?
00:35:56I'm Willow's grave!
00:35:58Shut up!
00:35:59You hurt her!
00:36:01Shut up!
00:36:02Now take all your clothes off!
00:36:09I'm fine!
00:36:13I'll do it myself!
00:36:19I'll do it myself!
00:36:40I'm happy now, can I stop?
00:36:43No.
00:36:44Take everything off.
00:36:46Do you need some help?
00:36:47No!
00:36:48No!
00:36:48No!
00:36:51No!
00:36:53No!
00:36:54No!
00:36:55I would never hurt a child.
00:36:59Aunt Nancy, if you didn't do it, just prove it already.
00:37:02Take your clothes off.
00:37:04What?
00:37:06You'd have me strip completely.
00:37:13You're on.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:17I'll do it.
00:37:20I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:24I'll do it.
00:37:28I'll do it.
00:37:30I'll do it.
00:37:31I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:35Now, turn around.
00:37:41Definitely not by default.
00:37:44Now, do you believe me?
00:37:46this proves nothing although his father amusing now admit it did you abuse willow

00:40:12Who are you people?
00:40:14How dare you treat her like this?
00:40:17Forget it, Lauren.
00:40:19I just want to leave.
00:40:21Ma?
00:40:22Did they hurt you?
00:40:23No.
00:40:24No.
00:40:25They're...
00:40:25They're my employers.
00:40:27That's right.
00:40:29She works for us.
00:40:30Who cares if we gave her a little lesson?
00:40:33And who the hell are you?
00:40:34I'm her daughter.
00:40:36What?
00:40:37Mom only had me.
00:40:39Well, and Lauren.
00:40:41But who knows what happened to that poor foster girl?
00:40:45You liar!
00:40:47She's just a kind woman I met in the city.
00:40:51She's been helping me.
00:40:52I told her she reminded me of my daughter.
00:40:56You really like clinging to younger women.
00:41:02No children of your own to scam or did you run them off?
00:41:05Do not speak to her that way.
00:41:08Nancy is my family.
00:41:11She's still trash.
00:41:12The two of you deserve each other.
00:41:14A couple of lying beggars.
00:41:19Beggars!
00:41:20Do you know who I am?
00:41:22We don't care who you are.
00:41:24Ever heard of Brooks Group?
00:41:26The Brooks Group?
00:41:27What?
00:41:28Do you clean their toilets or something?
00:41:31You really have no clue, do you?
00:41:36Sweetheart, I don't feel well.
00:41:38Can we just go home?
00:41:39Of course, Ma.
00:41:40I'll take you home.
00:41:41You.
00:41:42You pathetic little bums.
00:41:57Ma, I'm here.
00:42:03Are you feeling alright?
00:42:05What did they do to you?
00:42:08Just say the word and I'll make them pay.
00:42:10I'm okay.
00:42:12Ma, you said you were going to Ashley's to help out.
00:42:16What happened?
00:42:19They hired a nanny for Willow so they didn't need me and I found another job.
00:42:26But they don't need me either.
00:42:29Why are you putting yourself through this?
00:42:31Why won't you just stay with us?
00:42:33Honey, I've already caused you enough trouble.
00:42:37Oh, no you haven't.
00:42:39We would be honored to have you live with us.
00:42:52I want you to treat yourself.
00:42:55I mean it.
00:42:58Spend as much as you want.
00:43:00There's no limit.
00:43:03Lauren, why are you so good to me?
00:43:06I...
00:43:08I'm just your adoptive mother.
00:43:11What are you talking about?
00:43:13You're a Brooks now and you belong with your kind.
00:43:20Listen, if you hadn't taken me in back then, I probably would have starved or frozen to death on the
00:43:27streets.
00:43:28And you gave everything, everything you had to me and Ashley.
00:43:34You have no idea how much I've missed you.
00:43:38I love you, Ma.
00:43:40Always.
00:43:42I love you too, Lauren.
00:43:45Good.
00:43:46I'm glad we agreed.
00:43:49Oh, I meant to tell you.
00:43:52Next week I'm taking you to a banquet.
00:43:55A banquet?
00:43:57No, I don't know about that kind of thing and I'd only embarrass you.
00:44:05That's impossible because the banquet is for you.
00:44:09And if you don't want to stay here, I won't force you.
00:44:13I'm buying you a new house anyway.
00:44:23Lauren, I don't know about this whole house idea.
00:44:27I could just go back to where I'm staying.
00:44:30Ma, it's a gift I'm happy to give.
00:44:33If the roles were reversed, you would do the same.
00:44:37Please accept it.
00:44:43I'm sorry, Ma.
00:44:44I gotta take this call.
00:44:46Don't worry.
00:44:46I have someone waiting to assist you.
00:44:56My manager said Miss Brooke's mother would be coming today.
00:45:00Could this be her?
00:45:01If it is, I have to make a good impression.
00:45:09Good day, Miss.
00:45:10May I help you?
00:45:12I don't really know how to do this.
00:45:15I'd be happy to show you everything on offer.
00:45:17Care to sit?
00:45:18Please, this way.
00:45:20Yeah, please.
00:45:21Have a sit.
00:45:22Yes, yes.
00:45:23Here's some water.
00:45:27Oh, here's our brochure.
00:45:29All our properties are developed by Brooks Group.
00:45:33So, platinum tier quality.
00:45:44Ashley, I am so proud of you.
00:45:48This is the finest collection in the city.
00:45:53After the Brooks Group deal closes, I'll be able to afford the best of the best.
00:46:01Ashley, is that your Aunt Nancy?
00:46:05What is she doing here?
00:46:07I think it's about time I stopped being so nice to her.
00:46:12How much is that one?
00:46:14It's only for 1.5 million.
00:46:181.5 million dollars?
00:46:21Yes, and a great value at that.
00:46:23Oh, if you're planning to live with your family, I'd recommend Augustine model.
00:46:307,500 square feet, 6 baths, 6 bedrooms at 18 million dollars.
00:46:36Oh, that's far more than I need.
00:46:3818 million?
00:46:40That old hag couldn't afford that much in 18 lifetimes.
00:46:46Excuse me, who are you?
00:46:48Lucy Anderson, one of your top clientele.
00:46:53On that woman.
00:46:55Regrettably, she was our maid, and we had to fire her for misconduct.
00:46:59She's a liar.
00:47:01Don't waste any more time on her.
00:47:02That's right.
00:47:03She's a broke nobody.
00:47:05A grifter, cosplaying affluence.
00:47:07Wait, this isn't Miss Brooks' mother?
00:47:09Shit.
00:47:10I've been wasting my time with her.
00:47:13Auntie, what are you doing?
00:47:14Just leave town and go home already.
00:47:17Ashley, do you really hate me so much?
00:47:20Am I such a disgrace to you?
00:47:24What happened to that sweet little girl I used to know?
00:47:31So what?
00:47:32I'm not good enough to even exist in this city?
00:47:35Ashley, why does she care so much about what you think?
00:47:38It's not like she's your mom or something.
00:47:43I don't know what you want from me.
00:47:45I was just being nice to you because you came all the way from the countryside.
00:47:49That's all.
00:47:50Some people, they just walk into the city and they think they belong in the city.
00:47:56The truth is, you're just a country bumkin and you'll never be like us.
00:48:05You know what?
00:48:06That's right.
00:48:08I'll never be like you.
00:48:10I scrimped and saved my whole life so my family could have something better.
00:48:16You all think I'm poor, but I'm rich in good memories of my...
00:48:25Of Ashley.
00:48:28Even if she's forgotten.
00:48:32You think I can't afford a home?
00:48:40That three-bedroom, two-bath model?
00:48:43Uh, Rivera model?
00:48:45Yes.
00:48:46I'll take it.
00:48:47Full payment.
00:48:48Now.
00:48:49Of course.
00:48:50I'll grab the weed card and the contract will be right away, okay?
00:48:56Now, I'm wondering where you found this obviously fake car.
00:49:00Maybe you stole it.
00:49:01Give it back!
00:49:02No, no, no.
00:49:03You want it now?
00:49:04No.
00:49:05You beg me?
00:49:05No.
00:49:06Whatever you're doing, stop it.
00:49:08Okay?
00:49:09But just embarrass yourself further.
00:49:10I know you don't have that kind of money.
00:49:12You do realize that these properties were developed by the Brooks Group?
00:49:17Elite only begins to describe their clientele.
00:49:21And this fake card isn't gonna work?
00:49:24Shall we now add fraud to your list of crimes?
00:49:28Sorry, Lauren.
00:49:30Just this once, I want to be selfish to prove myself.
00:49:39Sir, please run the card.
00:49:42Of course, miss.
00:49:43Right away.
00:49:44Ashley, there's no way she has that kind of money, right?
00:49:46All set.
00:49:48Please swipe a card.
00:49:49That would be 1.5 million dollars.
00:49:52Go ahead, darling.
00:49:55Swipe it.
00:49:57Mom probably doesn't even have 10 grand, let alone a mil five.
00:50:02What am I doing?
00:50:04This is crazy.
00:50:06No matter what these people say, I can't spend Lauren's money like this.
00:50:111.5 million dollars?
00:50:13I must be out of my mind.
00:50:17Actually, I'm sorry.
00:50:18I can't buy this yet.
00:50:21Seriously?
00:50:22Sorry, my friend, but what the fuck, lady?
00:50:24I knew she was bluffing.
00:50:26It's probably the cheapest listing and she can't even afford it.
00:50:30Enough!
00:50:31Get out of the way.
00:50:31We're here to buy.
00:50:33Show me your most expensive property.
00:50:36Absolutely.
00:50:38I don't have an account, right?
00:50:41Ashley's about to get a huge payout, aren't you?
00:50:45And we can always leverage some funds.
00:50:49Show me the most expensive listing.
00:50:52But that's 18 million.
00:50:54Your point?
00:50:55If you're not willing to contribute to this family, then why did you even marry my son?
00:51:00Ashley, you know Mother's right, as always.
00:51:03Of course, I'm sorry.
00:51:06I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:51:08I can't give up on Ashley.
00:51:10Please forgive me.
00:51:12Pardon me, sir.
00:51:13I was here first.
00:51:16The Augustine model, I believe you called it.
00:51:19I'll take it.
00:51:21Charge the card.
00:51:37Come on, are you kidding me?
00:51:39The card even doesn't work.
00:51:41No, no.
00:51:42That's impossible.
00:51:43There must be money on it.
00:51:44I told you, she has no money.
00:51:47Lady, why don't you just hitchhike your way back to your little farm?
00:51:51You're getting in the way of your betters.
00:51:54She's not buying the house.
00:51:56We are.
00:51:57But I have one condition.
00:52:00Of course.
00:52:01Whatever you need.
00:52:02She's polluting the air.
00:52:05And if you want our business, slap her.
00:52:08Twice.
00:52:09But, Mother, isn't that...
00:52:12You dare defend her again?
00:52:14No.
00:52:15Of course not.
00:52:18Just a moment.
00:52:19Security!
00:52:22Slap this woman hard.
00:52:25Yes, sir.
00:52:26Oh, no, no, no.
00:52:27I meant for you to slap her, but...
00:52:30Watching these two men do it is quite delightful.
00:52:34I'll allow it.
00:52:35Get your hands off me!
00:52:42Stop!
00:52:44What is the meaning of this?
00:52:48Sorry.
00:52:49Sorry.
00:52:50Look.
00:52:51It's the little tramp accomplice.
00:52:54Excuse me.
00:52:55We're in the middle of the situation here.
00:52:58You can make an appointment if you want to.
00:52:59Don't bother with her.
00:53:01She's a con artist, like the old woman.
00:53:04Yeah.
00:53:05They're both loser nobodies.
00:53:08Exactly.
00:53:10Or are you about to claim you're some long-lost heir of the Rockefellers?
00:53:13Or perhaps a Brooks family's second cousin twice removed?
00:53:18Get rid of them now!
00:53:20Just a moment.
00:53:25Hello?
00:53:26There are three individuals causing a scene at the Riverfront sales office.
00:53:30Check the security footage to identify them.
00:53:33It's an elderly woman and a couple.
00:53:35They are blacklisted.
00:53:36Do not sell them any property at any price.
00:53:39They're permanently banned.
00:53:41Lady, you're embarrassing yourself.
00:53:44This is my curve, and what I say goes.
00:53:48Escort them out.
00:53:50Now!
00:53:51Ouch!
00:53:52My arm!
00:53:54Hey, Stormtrooper!
00:53:55Let her go!
00:53:56If you harm her, they'll be hell to pay.
00:54:01What on earth is going on in here?
00:54:04Who's creating such a ruckus?
00:54:09A black card.
00:54:12I can't believe that I almost didn't recognize our most VIP clientele.
00:54:18VIP or not, no one should be treated this way.
00:54:35You idiot!
00:54:36How did you not see the black card?
00:54:39Sir, please don't be fooled.
00:54:42The card was fake.
00:54:44The card is gone.
00:54:45It's a fake.
00:54:46You're a fool!
00:54:47That is a black prestige card.
00:54:49There's no pen.
00:54:50There's no limit.
00:54:51Regular machines can't even read it!
00:54:54You.
00:54:55You have managed to insult our most VIP clientele.
00:55:00You are fired!
00:55:03Oh, please.
00:55:06Just...
00:55:10Um...
00:55:10Man.
00:55:14Huh?
00:55:16Uh...
00:55:17Madam.
00:55:19Everything has gone through perfectly.
00:55:21The property now officially belongs to you,
00:55:24and we can begin processing your paperwork.
00:55:27Congratulations!
00:55:31I don't know what to say.
00:55:34Well, I don't have to say anything.
00:55:42What just happened?
00:55:45Oh, my God.
00:55:46Are they part of the Brooks group?
00:55:53This can't be real.
00:55:55No way Mom knows anyone in the Brooks family.
00:55:58But that woman she met...
00:56:00She's clearly loaded.
00:56:01Who is she?
00:56:04Listen, everybody.
00:56:05Shh.
00:56:06My Aunt Nancy has never left the countryside before.
00:56:09There is no way she has any connection to the Brooks group.
00:56:12This woman was sleeping on our floor, begging to be our maid and...
00:56:18She'll lie about anything.
00:56:20Truly, utterly pathetic.
00:56:23You absolutely have zero clue.
00:56:27I try to be patient, but...
00:56:30Shut your bitch mouth.
00:56:33I just know who you are.
00:56:36A low-class whore, pretending to be part of this Brooks circle.
00:56:41We're the ones that have signed with the Brooks group.
00:56:44You don't say.
00:56:46You're really working with the Brooks group.
00:56:50Of course.
00:56:51I know you wouldn't know what it means to partner with them, but...
00:56:57We're going to be the richest people in the city.
00:57:01Yeah, even if you somehow could afford this place, you're still much lower than we are.
00:57:08Steven, show them.
00:57:09We're going to buy the second most expensive property on your list.
00:57:14Mother, let's not be hasty.
00:57:16Until I sign, can we really afford to...
00:57:19Silence, child!
00:57:21This old bitch has bought the most expensive property on the list,
00:57:24and now you're telling us that we can't buy the second?
00:57:28Sorry.
00:57:30Let's just find out.
00:57:32Swipe the card.
00:57:39Uh, yes, sir.
00:57:41Yes, sir.
00:57:42Understood, sir.
00:57:44I'm afraid I'm unable to sell you this property.
00:57:46Or any other property for that matter.
00:57:52Wait, what? Why?
00:57:55You are refusing to sell to us.
00:57:58You can't do that. Well, sue!
00:58:00Well, we are a private business, and therefore we have the power to choose our own clients.
00:58:05Perhaps you should be asking yourself, who was it that I pissed off?
00:58:11That doesn't make any sense. We didn't do anything wrong.
00:58:14My mom is a nobody. Pissing her off doesn't count.
00:58:18Well, that's something that you can contemplate on your own time and somewhere else.
00:58:22What?
00:58:36What?
00:58:37What?
00:58:38What?
00:58:43What?
00:58:47What?
00:58:51What?
00:58:52What?
00:58:52Oh my god.
00:58:52What?
00:58:56I'm seeing you.
00:59:08Hey, what's wrong?
00:59:10I don't know.
00:59:13I feel like Mom's hiding something from me.
00:59:16She's probably just overwhelmed.
00:59:19This is all new to her.
00:59:21And she has been through a lot.
00:59:24You know, maybe when she gets to the banquet and she sees Ashley and sees the surprise
00:59:29that you planned for her, she'll realize that everything's going to be okay.
00:59:33Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:59:50If it's not, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, I hear you are working with the Brooks Group now.
00:59:55It's quite impressive.
00:59:57They say this whole banquet isn't your owner, Miss Anderson.
01:00:00Our little Ashley is quite exquisite.
01:00:04No, no, not at all.
01:00:06I am just so grateful to have the opportunity to show the world who the Anderson family is
01:00:11and what we're capable of.
01:00:12Miss Anderson, we hope you'll remember us and we won't forget you.
01:00:16Oh, thank you.
01:00:18Of course.
01:00:33Oh, Lauren, I really shouldn't be here.
01:00:37I'm not dressed right.
01:00:38I don't belong in a place like this.
01:00:41Mom, you belong here more than anyone else.
01:00:46This banquet is for you.
01:00:51Damn it.
01:00:53It's the office.
01:00:54I have to take this.
01:00:57Mom, go on inside without me, okay?
01:01:00William will be right here.
01:01:01No, no, no, no.
01:01:03I can't go in alone.
01:01:05You'll be fine.
01:01:06You deserve this.
01:01:07You deserve to be seen.
01:01:15I'll be right back.
01:01:28Who's that?
01:01:29Dunno.
01:01:30Never saw her before.
01:01:33She's here?
01:01:34Stuck.

01:11:28You see, I told you.
01:11:30These three, they're in it together.
01:11:33The washed up old hag, the wild little slut and that disgusting gimp.
01:11:38All here to stir up trouble.
01:11:40Uh-oh.
01:11:42That's Lauren Brooks.
01:11:43My God.
01:11:45And you heard what that woman just called her?
01:11:47I don't think they're actually enormous.
01:11:52What is wrong with you people?
01:11:55They're all fake.
01:11:56Call the police, Stephen.
01:12:08How dare you publicly humiliate Ms. Brooks?
01:12:12Ms. Brooks?
01:12:16Ashley Morgan?
01:12:17Yeah, that's me.
01:12:20I can't believe it.
01:12:22You really don't recognize me?
01:12:26I don't know.
01:12:28Look at me.
01:12:29You stand here mocking her, humiliating her, shoving her around in public, and yet you feel nothing.
01:12:39I know you really want this contract, Ashley, but I don't want to give it to you anymore.
01:12:45No, you can't do that, Ms. Brooks.
01:12:51I am so stupid.
01:12:53I mean, Ms. Brooks, of course they recognize you.
01:12:55I mean, everyone knows your family.
01:12:59Enough!
01:13:00Ms. Brooks, we were wrong.
01:13:02We see that now.
01:13:03Please have some mercy.
01:13:05We didn't mean any harm.
01:13:06Let us make it up to you, all right?
01:13:12Don't play innocent with me.
01:13:14I heard every word you said to Nancy.
01:13:17And I'm sure you all said and did worse when you were alone with her.
01:13:21Ms. Brooks, I'm sorry.
01:13:23I can see we got off on the wrong foot.
01:13:24Look, we know we messed up, but the project, that's business, right?
01:13:29Forget the contract.
01:13:31Forget business.
01:13:32What about family?
01:13:35Why are you saying this to me?
01:13:37I'll tell you.
01:13:39But first, answer me this.
01:13:44Who is she?
01:13:50Who is that woman?
01:13:54Say it, Ashley Morgan.
01:13:57Right here, in front of everyone.
01:14:00Tell everyone who this woman really is.
01:14:07Say it, Ashley.
01:14:09Who is she?
01:14:13Ms. Brooks, I don't know what you're talking about,
01:14:20but it should have nothing to do with our contract.
01:14:24We're professionals.
01:14:29I, I, I can't handle this anymore.
01:14:32I shouldn't be here.
01:14:34I wasn't made for this big city life.
01:14:39I've never been anything but worthless.
01:14:42You can't let them treat you like this.
01:14:45You are not what they say.
01:14:48You're the most precious person I've ever known.
01:14:51Ms. Brooks, please just let her leave.
01:14:54Don't allow her to ruin the evening.
01:14:58Our evening?
01:15:00Is that all you care about?
01:15:01The contract?
01:15:03Money?
01:15:04Ms. Brooks, I'm sorry, but I...
01:15:06Ashley, you kicked Nancy out of your wedding.
01:15:11You humiliated her while buying a house.
01:15:15And now you just stand here watching
01:15:18as your mother-in-law bullies and abuses her.
01:15:22Not even a stranger deserves to be treated like this.
01:15:25But she's not a stranger, is she?
01:15:28Tell me, who took care of you when you were sick?
01:15:34Who stayed up with you when you had a nightmare?
01:15:38Who gave up everything?
01:15:42Everything to give you a better life?
01:15:47She's not some random woman.
01:15:49She's not even your aunt.
01:15:52She's the reason you exist.
01:15:53So why is it so hard to admit that she is your mother?
01:16:01She's Mrs. Anderson's mother?
01:16:04Her mother was right there.
01:16:06And she refused to acknowledge her.
01:16:09And she even humiliated her in public.
01:16:12How terrible.
01:16:14How do you know that?
01:16:19Wait.
01:16:25Oh, my God.
01:16:29You're Lauren.
01:16:32She's your mother, Ashley?
01:16:34You told me that she was traveling the world.
01:16:37That she wasn't even in the country.
01:16:40You told me that she was just a distant aunt.
01:16:44Ashley, you lied to us.
01:16:45Your mother is just a dirty old woman.
01:16:47Ashley, this woman raised you.
01:16:52Gave her all for you.
01:16:55Provided a home full of love.
01:16:59And you denied her.
01:17:03Like she was nothing.
01:17:04Ungrateful brat.
01:17:06If she would betray her mother like that,
01:17:09how could anyone ever trust her?
01:17:11Honestly, I feel bad for that poor woman.
01:17:14All right.
01:17:16You all asked for this.
01:17:30I'm so sorry.
01:17:32Lauren.
01:17:34I'm so sorry.
01:17:36I'm so sorry.
01:17:38I need you, Julia.
01:17:40Please, please, give me another chance.
01:17:43Miss Ruth, we were wrong.
01:17:45We were very wrong.
01:17:48We are decent people.
01:17:50Really.
01:17:51I promise.
01:17:52From now on,
01:17:53I'm going to treat Nancy with the most utter respect.
01:17:57I'm not the one you should be kneeling to.
01:18:13Oops.
01:18:14Accidents.
01:18:15Steve!
01:18:20Steve, I can help me!
01:18:23Leave me out of this.
01:18:24Steve, I...
01:18:26Steve!
01:18:27I didn't ask for this.
01:18:28It didn't do anything.
01:18:30Steve, I didn't ask for this.
01:18:34You son of a bitch.
01:18:49But...
01:18:50Oh...
01:18:52Mommy...
01:18:55I know I fucked up.
01:18:59I just got cut off in all of this.
01:19:02It's been so hard.
01:19:06I don't know.
01:19:08I didn't see that now.
01:19:09I was just...
01:19:12Oh...
01:19:12It could change for you.
01:19:15And for Willow.
01:19:16Don't forget your granddaughter.
01:19:19Mother.
01:19:22I didn't know it was yours.
01:19:24I promise.
01:19:26From now on, I'll treat you.
01:19:27I'll treat you like my own mother.
01:19:29Mother.
01:19:30See?
01:19:32Oh...
01:19:34What a wild ride.
01:19:37Oh...
01:19:38You know what it's like for women of our age.
01:19:41We have to keep our appearances.
01:19:44Come on.
01:19:45Let's not dwell it past.
01:19:47Let's be friends, dear.
01:19:51Whatever you decide, Mom.
01:19:53I'm with you.
01:19:55I'm with you.
01:20:20Ashley...
01:20:22I can see I've been a source of shame for you.
01:20:25you. That's a hard thing for a mother to accept. Yes, I come from the
01:20:41countryside. And yes, I've led a humble life which some might consider poor since
01:20:55I've come to town. I've been harassed, mistreated, lied to, and lied about.
01:21:11Ashley, I can see how I've embarrassed you. I'm not the kind of mother you want.
01:21:17She is. I've made peace with that. And I'll be okay, really. But from now on...
01:21:31You are not my daughter.
01:21:38No. Mom, please don't do that. No. Mom, please don't do that. Please, please wait.
01:21:54Ashley Anderson and the entire Anderson family are blacklisted from Brooks Group's projects.
01:22:01I'll personally ensure every one of our partners know, no one works with you ever again.
01:22:08Furthermore, I will have my lawyer investigate all that you did to my mother,
01:22:14and you will be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
01:22:21I will have my lawyer.
01:22:33This can't be real. We're finished.
01:22:37Ruin.
01:22:38Stupid girl. This is your fault.
01:22:42Destroy the family.
01:22:44I will kill you.
01:22:45Do you!
01:22:46Ah!
01:22:49Ah!
01:22:55Ah!
01:22:56Mom, let's go home.
01:23:03Ah!
01:23:08Ah!
01:23:11Ah!
01:23:12Ah!
01:23:13Ah!
01:23:18This was your favorite. Try it. I used your recipe.
01:23:23Should we go to the gardens this afternoon? I remember you said you wanted to plant some roses.
01:23:30Thank you. Both. You know, being here with you, it's more than I could ever ask for.
01:23:39Ask you?
01:23:40Shit.
01:23:42Mmm.
01:23:56Let's have a sip.
01:23:59Let's have a sip.
01:23:59Let's have a sip.
01:24:03Okay.
01:24:05Okay.
01:24:06Perfect. Be sure.
01:24:07Okay, honey.
01:24:11Do you know this lady, Willow? Is she like your mom?
01:24:16Of course not. My mom's on vacation in Europe.
01:24:18No, I'm not Willow. I am right here.
01:24:21You're mistaken, ma'am. I've never seen you before in my life.
01:24:24Yeah, let's go in this case. Let's go to the coffee shop. Just have some bread.
01:24:34Madam, isn't that your daughter, Miss Anderson? Would you like to go say hello?
01:24:38No need. I only have one daughter. Now let's go home.
