00:00:02Inmate 4317289, Evelyn Langley.
00:00:06Visitation approved.
00:00:08Visitor, Lucian Lowell.
00:00:13Um, can I please get a tablecloth?
00:00:18Please, I don't want him to know that I'm pregnant.
00:00:27This necklace means a lot to me.
00:00:30I love you, Evelyn.
00:00:32You are mine.
00:00:35But there's no going back now.
00:00:44Evelyn, it's been five months.
00:00:46I've been counting every single day until you'd let me see you.
00:00:50You don't look good.
00:00:51Are they even taking care of you in here?
00:00:55Listen, I know you were set up.
00:00:57I've hired the best appellate guy in the city.
00:00:59We're going to fight this against you.
00:01:00Lucian, we're done.
00:01:03What?
00:01:05I've said the word.
00:01:07No.
00:01:08No, I don't accept that.
00:01:11I'll wait for you, Evelyn.
00:01:14I'll marry you.
00:01:18I'll marry you.
00:01:24The click of these cuffs is louder than any wedding bells, Lucian.
00:01:30I'm tired, and I have nothing left to give.
00:01:35So you should find someone else.
00:01:37I'm not giving up on you.
00:01:39You said you'd love me for life.
00:01:40You said that we'd have babies, remember?
00:01:43A little one with golden hair like my grandpa.
00:01:56What is this?
00:01:59We had a baby.
00:02:01Once.
00:02:05Not anymore.
00:02:09Two months?
00:02:10What?
00:02:14You killed our baby?
00:02:17You did this just to break up with me?
00:02:23Are you out of your fucking mind, Evelyn?
00:02:25That was our baby.
00:02:27You know how bad I wanted a child.
00:02:30Sir!
00:02:31You're out of line.
00:02:32It's over.
00:02:33Let's go now.
00:02:34Evelyn.
00:02:35Evelyn Langley, I hate you.
00:02:37I hate you.
00:02:38I hate you.
00:02:44Lucian loves you.
00:02:46Since you've been remanded.
00:02:48He's been running all over town, lining up the best council, trying to get your time reduced.
00:02:54Lucian.
00:02:56It's touching, isn't it?
00:02:59The sole heir of the Lowell family falls head over heels for someone like you.
00:03:04But for us, it's a nightmare.
00:03:07When the Lowell name becomes a punchline the second its heir falls for a criminal.
00:03:12No, sir. I was framed.
00:03:14That man tried to force himself on me. I didn't hurt him.
00:03:17Look, I am sorry for what happened to you.
00:03:21I truly am.
00:03:23But that doesn't change the fact about who you are.
00:03:27For my son's reputation.
00:03:29For his future.
00:03:30You need to walk away.
00:03:36And what if I were pregnant?
00:03:38Would I get a second chance?
00:03:41Miss Langley, you will not marry into this family by leveraging a pregnancy.
00:03:45If you were ever to carry Lucian's child, we would take full custody.
00:03:50You would be out of the picture.
00:03:52Because we will never allow a Lowell heir to have a criminal for a mother.
00:03:56That would be a stain on the child.
00:04:00In our own family name.
00:04:05You know how bad I wanted a child.
00:04:08Evelyn.
00:04:09Evelyn Langley, I hate you.
00:04:15I'll wait for you.
00:04:17Evelyn.
00:04:19I'll marry you.
00:04:20No.
00:04:25Nobody is going to take you away from me, okay?
00:04:28Not even your father.
00:04:39Sir, you've been out here for over three hours.
00:04:42Who are you waiting on?
00:04:43Evelyn Langley.
00:04:44Number 4317289.
00:04:46She's scheduled to be released today.
00:04:48Evelyn Langley?
00:04:50She was released for good behavior three months ago.
00:04:52You didn't know?
00:05:00Right.
00:05:02Of course.
00:05:03Evelyn Langley.
00:05:06When you said we were over,
00:05:09you meant it.
00:05:15Good morning, Miss Langley.
00:05:16I'm Louise Morales with Los Angeles County DCFS.
00:05:21Oh, please.
00:05:28Easy.
00:05:29Just breathe.
00:05:30You're okay.
00:05:32Hi, Miss Morales.
00:05:35Miss Langley.
00:05:36Now, our records show that you were released early for good behavior.
00:05:39Now, that's noted.
00:05:40However, we did receive a report alleging that you do not have a steady income and cannot reliably cover rent,
00:05:48which may put your child's welfare at risk.
00:05:51Now, if these conditions aren't met, DCFS will have to initiate temporary protective custody.
00:05:56That report is malicious.
00:05:59I have a job. I...
00:06:01I got the offer today.
00:06:07All right.
00:06:09But, you also have a prior for assault with a deadly weapon on your record.
00:06:13If we observe any indication of violence, we may also detain your child.
00:06:17No, I'm not going to make that mistake again.
00:06:20If I may.
00:06:22And you are?
00:06:23Vance Reed.
00:06:25I'm her neighbor.
00:06:27A U.S. Army veteran served for seven years and honorably discharged.
00:06:31I'll vouch for her character.
00:06:33She's steady, gentle, and all-around good, Mom.
00:06:38All right.
00:06:40Thanks for coming by. Have a good day.
00:06:42You too.
00:06:50My Eric actually got golden hair, just like Lucian's grandpa.
00:06:56Mom, we're not getting split up, right?
00:06:59No, not now, not ever.
00:07:01Okay? I promise.
00:07:06Thank you for the job lead and for backing me up.
00:07:12Of course.
00:07:13I know how much you love this little rascal.
00:07:16I couldn't stand to see you two apart.
00:07:19Thank you. Really.
00:07:21Thanks, Uncle Vance.
00:07:25Come on, let's drop him off at school. I can take you to see my cousin's company.
00:07:30All right, you're all set.
00:07:32Executive assistant to the CEO.
00:07:34The boss is out right now, but you can start tomorrow and we'll go...
00:07:39Oh, boss, you're back.
00:07:49I've hired the best to tell a guy in this.
00:07:51We're going to fight this.
00:07:53You killed our baby.
00:07:54You did this just to break up with me.
00:07:56Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:07:57Evelyn!
00:07:58Let's go.
00:07:58Evelyn, I hate you.
00:08:06Hey.
00:08:08Come on.
00:08:10Introductions.
00:08:16Perfect timing.
00:08:17This is the new assistant I recommended.
00:08:19Evelyn Langley.
00:08:20This is my cousin, Bushy Lowell.
00:08:23Started this company, what, four years ago?
00:08:25I know he looks all stern, but he's really a softy.
00:08:29Almost got himself killed rescuing a puppy when we were kids.
00:08:32Likes his coffee black, bitter as sin.
00:08:34He's got a serious sweet tooth.
00:08:36That's enough.
00:08:38Hey, she's your assistant.
00:08:40I was just telling her your preferences.
00:08:42My preferences?
00:08:44Oh, she knows.
00:08:47Including my size.
00:08:49Every inch.
00:08:50She knows it completely and deeply.
00:08:55Isn't that right, Miss Langley?
00:08:57What?
00:09:00What do you mean she knows it?
00:09:05Because?
00:09:06Because you're a public figure.
00:09:09I did my homework before day one.
00:09:12Ah.
00:09:13See, I told you I'd pick winners.
00:09:15Anyways, let me break it.
00:09:1632, 25, 35.
00:09:20Down the size, aren't you?
00:09:36Um, I'm sorry.
00:09:45I just, I don't think that I'm the right fit for this job.
00:09:48You signed the agreement.
00:09:51There's a liquidated damages clause.
00:09:54You walk, you pay.
00:10:04I misspoke.
00:10:05I'm sorry.
00:10:06I just meant that I was stepping away for a minute.
00:10:09Good.
00:10:10I thought you were quitting
00:10:12before I get a hands-on read of your size.
00:10:20Lucian.
00:10:20You look pleased.
00:10:23What's the good news?
00:10:25Evelyn.
00:10:26You're out.
00:10:28You know my new assistant.
00:10:31Assistant?
00:10:33Well, let me properly introduce you.
00:10:36Your new assistant is family.
00:10:39Evelyn, welcome to my fiance's company.
00:10:42My dear, dear stepsister.
00:10:47Fiance?
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:50Lucian and I are engaged.
00:10:52We were just about to spread the good news.
00:10:54Isn't that right, honey?
00:10:55So while I was rotting in prison for six years,
00:10:59he became my stepsister's fiance,
00:11:01my stepsister.
00:11:03The little sister of the bastard
00:11:04who framed me and got me locked up.
00:11:06What's wrong, Evelyn?
00:11:08Are you nervous?
00:11:09Don't be.
00:11:10Lucian's a good man.
00:11:11He won't judge you just because he's done time.
00:11:15Isn't that right, honey?
00:11:21Yeah.
00:11:22She's been locked up.
00:11:25But she was framed.
00:11:26Besides, she's my girl,
00:11:28so don't be giving her any wrong looks.
00:11:31Miss Langley, I hired you to work, not date.
00:11:34Kindly perform your duties.
00:11:36Brew me a coffee,
00:11:37bring it to my office.
00:11:41And be sure to make one for your boss's fiance.
00:11:45Me.
00:11:46I like mine scalding.
00:11:54I'm sorry for the whole girlfriend thing. I was just...
00:11:57No, I know.
00:11:58I know you were just trying to cover for me,
00:12:00so I wouldn't get singled out, but just don't do that again.
00:12:04When people think you're dating felon, it's...
00:12:06it's not good for you.
00:12:08I'm fine.
00:12:10Come on.
00:12:11I'll go help you make that cup of coffee.
00:12:15Sorry if my cousin spooked you back there.
00:12:17No, it's...
00:12:18I'm fine.
00:12:20Yeah.
00:12:22You know, you didn't know what it used to be like this.
00:12:25Went through a pretty ugly breakup about five, six years ago.
00:12:28Blew up his whole world.
00:12:29Turned him cold and quiet.
00:12:32In fact, it's a bit taboo to even speak of her name in the Lowell family.
00:12:39That taboo sounds more like a shame.
00:12:43Hmm?
00:12:44Well, I...
00:12:45I don't know, I was deployed back then.
00:12:47I don't really know all the details, but...
00:12:49I can tell he's pretty broken up about it still.
00:12:52Really?
00:12:53Yeah, he even named his company after them.
00:12:56L&L Group.
00:12:58L&L.
00:12:59I love you, Evelyn.
00:13:01I want everything I own to carry your name.
00:13:04Evelyn Langley.
00:13:06Lucian Lowell.
00:13:07The L&L Group.
00:13:10Both of our last names for the new company.
00:13:12How does that say it?
00:13:20You are mine.
00:13:29Oh shit.
00:13:31Oh my god, that looks like a second degree burn.
00:13:34I'll go get some burn cream.
00:13:35I'll be right back, okay?
00:13:39Lucian, I'm sorry.
00:13:44I love you.
00:13:47But I can't pull you down with my past.
00:13:50And I can't lose Eric.
00:13:57You burned yourself?
00:14:06You burned yourself?
00:14:11I'm pushing you away because of Vance.
00:14:13Yes, Mr. Lowell, you're standing too close.
00:14:26Too close.
00:14:32Didn't I remind you of what too close used to mean?
00:14:37That's my tongue from every inch of your skin.
00:14:41With you underneath me, shaking, screaming my name.
00:14:46No, don't say another word.
00:14:49Why not?
00:14:50Friend, your precious boyfriend's gonna hear?
00:14:56Good.
00:14:58Because he's gonna hear, and he's gonna see it too.
00:15:06Don't kill my snakes.
00:15:11Do you even know what you're doing?
00:15:14Are you out of your mind?
00:15:15I've been out of my mind for six years.
00:15:19Ever since you said we were dead.
00:15:22Let's get one thing straight, okay?
00:15:25Whatever we were, I am your assistant now.
00:15:29Who the hell wants you as my assistant?
00:15:32I want you as my woman.
00:15:34My wife.
00:15:40Come back to me, Evelyn.
00:15:42What?
00:15:57I want you.
00:16:03Can I give you a shot?
00:16:06No.
00:16:07No.
00:16:08I need you to be cold and this wild thing ain't catchin'
00:16:13Evelyn!
00:16:24Evelyn, I got the burn cream!
00:16:28Lucian.
00:16:34Lucian.
00:16:35What are you doing here?
00:16:36Is Evelyn still in there?
00:16:37She already took the coffee to a client.
00:16:40Oh.
00:16:40I'll just go run it to her.
00:16:41Hold up.
00:16:42Evelyn's my assistant.
00:16:43She's on the clock.
00:16:44I won't interrupt her.
00:16:46Here, give me the cream.
00:16:47I'll make sure she gets it.
00:16:48Okay.
00:16:50It was a bad burn though.
00:16:51Make sure she puts it on right away.
00:16:53I don't want her to get infected.
00:16:55Thanks.
00:16:55Catch up with you later.
00:17:02Lucian.

00:24:40Yeah, I mean, it's after hours.
00:24:43Come on, help me out.
00:24:45I don't want to be the only single guy there.
00:24:49Um, sure.
00:24:51Yeah, of course, I'll be your date.
00:25:00Ah, what's allowed?
00:25:01I need a paternity test to run on these.
00:25:04Let me know if they're father and son.
00:25:05Certainly.
00:25:07Leave it with me.
00:25:10Mister, do you think it looks cool?
00:25:13Is he really not ours?
00:25:17Yeah, looks great.
00:25:21Eric, are you my son?
00:25:25I'm very sorry, Miss Higgs.
00:25:26You're infertile.
00:25:27But you can always consider adoption.
00:25:32Adoption, my ass.
00:25:33Adoption doesn't make me Mrs. Lowell.
00:25:36Only carrying Lucian's heir does.
00:25:41Don't worry, Mr. Lowell.
00:25:43I'll exploit the results.
00:25:45Appreciate it.
00:25:52I know that you're seven figures deep in gambling debt.
00:25:56So, how about you tell me why Lucian Lowell was here?
00:26:00And this one million could be yours.
00:26:12He asked me to run a DNA test, father and son.
00:26:20Well, when the results arrive, call me first.
00:26:26Not Lucian.
00:26:35Um, Mr. Lowell.
00:26:38I need your signature on these.
00:26:46Dressed up like this, all for Vance's little party tonight?
00:26:52That's my personal business.
00:26:57Looks like I've ruined your dress.
00:27:01I'm sorry, I got your dress all dirty.
00:27:04Fine.
00:27:06Hey.
00:27:07How could it be fine?
00:27:09I've ruined it.
00:27:11I'll make it right.
00:27:13It's two last minutes to buy you a new one.
00:27:16So for now, just wear mine.
00:27:21I'll get you a better one later.
00:27:25That's fine.
00:27:26Thanks.
00:27:27I'll just wash this one and bring it back tomorrow.
00:27:30My boyfriend's downstairs, so...
00:27:32I should go.
00:27:38Boyfriend, huh?
00:27:41No one wears that label but me.
00:27:47Evelyn.
00:27:48Hi.
00:27:48Wow, you're looking stunning.
00:27:51Thanks.
00:27:54That shirt looks a little familiar though.
00:27:57Um, yeah.
00:27:59All dress shirts kind of just look the same.
00:28:02Uh, but we're gonna be late so we should probably go.
00:28:05You're right.
00:28:07After you, my lady.
00:28:12Back seat's safer.
00:28:14What are you-
00:28:19Lucian, what are you doing?
00:28:21It's my cousin's celebration party.
00:28:23Of course I'm going.
00:28:24Isn't that right, Vance?
00:28:28Absolutely.
00:28:29I mean, shit, you haven't had a proper night out in what?
00:28:32Six years?
00:28:33Wanna break that streak celebrating me?
00:28:35Let's go.
00:28:37Alright.
00:28:38Let's go.
00:28:39Drive.
00:28:40He used to live for parties.
00:28:43Four or five a month, like clockwork.
00:28:45And he hasn't even been to one since we broke up.
00:28:48Okay, so we got Jackson, Bob, who else do you want on the list?
00:28:53We've already thrown four parties this month.
00:28:55Why another?
00:28:58We're here.
00:28:59Because...
00:29:00I want everyone to know your mind, Evelyn.
00:29:02And I want the whole world to see it.
00:29:04And I'm with you.
00:29:06I'm the happiest man alive.
00:29:10Alright.
00:29:12We're here.
00:29:27So close, I could almost stop.
00:29:32Here are my boys.
00:29:35Dad!
00:29:37What's going on?
00:29:38It's lying upon me, baby.
00:29:41Alright?
00:29:42Two drinks on you.
00:29:43Drinks on me?
00:29:44Alright.
00:29:44Take it easy, animals.
00:29:45I want to introduce you to Evelyn.
00:29:47Hi.
00:29:50And it's my cousin, Lucy Roe.
00:29:53Get the hair.
00:29:54Yeah, we know, we know.
00:29:55Six years ago?
00:29:57The internet's favorite clown?
00:29:59Mr. Trustfun, lovesick, fell in love with the criminal, right?
00:30:07Look, sorry, man.
00:30:08I'm just curious.
00:30:10How does a guy like you just burn all of his pride away for some woman?
00:30:14And then you start sucking up to those slimy judges and politicians just to try to figure it out?
00:30:20Do what?
00:30:23The whole name becomes a punchline the second its air falls for a criminal.
00:30:29So he carried all that heat because of me?
00:30:33Hey.
00:30:34Take it easy.
00:30:35Come on.
00:30:35We're all ugly crowd over a one night stand who ghosted us before checkout.
00:30:40It's not on him.
00:30:41It's on that slut.
00:30:43He never deserved him in the first place.
00:30:48What happens when he figures out that slut is you?
00:30:52Do you think he'll regret busting his ass recommending you as my assistant?
00:30:57Or just regret ever meeting you at all?
00:31:01Hey.
00:31:03I'm sorry about those clowns.
00:31:05Pool table's open.
00:31:06Say we run a game, okay?
00:31:09You wanna play?
00:31:12Oh, I just, I don't know how to play.
00:31:14Sorry.
00:31:17Let's go and grab one of these.
00:31:19How about you?
00:31:20Let's run it.
00:31:24What's the fun without a little skin in the game?
00:31:27Okay.
00:31:29Mr. Hair.
00:31:30Alright.
00:31:31You call it.
00:31:31What have we been on?
00:31:37Winner gets the kiss, Evelyn.
00:31:41What?
00:31:42Hey, you out of your goddamn mind?
00:31:44She's not some chip on a poker table.
00:31:46What's wrong?
00:31:47You nervous?
00:31:48I thought you said she was your girlfriend, right?
00:31:51What's the matter?
00:31:51You scared that you're not man enough to win your own girl's kiss?
00:31:57Vance, take the bet.
00:31:58We got you.
00:32:00Beat him.
00:32:00Beat him.
00:32:01Beat him.
00:32:02Beat him.
00:32:03Beat him.
00:32:04Beat him.
00:32:05Beat him.
00:32:06Beat him.
00:32:07Beat him.
00:32:08Beat him.
00:32:08Beat him.
00:32:09I'm sorry, but I don't agree to this.
00:32:12I'm not some prize.
00:32:13Is that so?
00:32:17Then I tell Vance the truth.
00:32:19That you're the slut you just trashed.
00:32:24Well, Vance, it looks like your girlfriend doesn't even believe in you.
00:32:27So, you know what?
00:32:29Just...
00:32:29Forget it.
00:32:30Hey, I'm in.
00:32:33Besides, back on base.
00:32:35I used to live at the tables.
00:32:37I ran my unit's tourney, so I'm not losing to you.
00:32:40Oh, yeah?
00:32:41Yeah, that's right.
00:33:00No way!
00:33:02He's running the rack!
00:33:03Holy shit, he just ran the game.
00:33:05That's the little golden boy.
00:33:07I win.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:11Time to claim my prize.
00:33:27All right, enough.
00:33:31Hey!
00:33:33Enough!
00:33:36I'm out of here.
00:33:38Evelyn, let's go.
00:33:41She's not.
00:33:42She's my prize.
00:33:44Come on.
00:33:44Don't tell me you're a sore loser, Vance.
00:33:47I'm not a sore loser.
00:33:48But that was one kiss.
00:33:50You got what you wanted, cuz.
00:33:51Please.
00:33:53That was barely a warm up.
00:34:01My ex is a slut to you.
00:34:03Right?
00:34:04So what does that make this woman who just let me kiss her?
00:34:09That makes her...
00:34:10Shut up!
00:34:11Don't you dare bring Evelyn down to the level of the ex who left you.
00:34:18Take a close look.
00:34:21She fits the same label.
00:34:23You fucking bastard.
00:34:33What are you doing?
00:34:35This is Lucian Lowell, CEO of the L&L Group.
00:34:38I've been assaulted at the Velvet Q.
00:34:40I'm bleeding.
00:34:41You've got one minute to send a squad car down to that door.
00:34:44Or I pull every dollar from the Lowell money from your pet foundations.
00:34:48No, Lucian.
00:34:49What?
00:34:50Stop.
00:34:50Are you crazy?
00:34:52Vance is your cousin.
00:34:53He just made the fire department.
00:34:55And now you're gonna ruin him?
00:34:56He ruined me first.
00:34:59The moment you called the woman I love the slut, you ruined me.
00:35:03You dragged the woman I love through the mud.
00:35:06You don't just insult her.
00:35:07You burned down my love.
00:35:09You burned down everything I am.
00:35:12I was defending you, man.
00:35:14Who fucking cares?
00:35:17Right here.
00:35:19This one.
00:35:22No.
00:35:23I'll leave by my own.
00:35:27Classic.
00:35:28Vance.
00:35:30Lucian!
00:35:32Lucian!
00:35:33Please don't do this to Vance!
00:35:39Evelyn?
00:35:40Bitch.
00:35:42Who's she chasing at?
00:35:43Lucian!
00:35:44Lucian?
00:35:47Lucian!
00:35:48Vance was just trying to stand up!
00:35:50Oh, I know exactly who he was standing up for.
00:35:53Of course it's you.
00:35:55His precious girlfriend.
00:35:58What about me, huh?
00:36:00I stood up for the woman I used to call my girlfriend.
00:36:03And suddenly I'm the asshole.
00:36:05You look at me this same.
00:36:07Is I wrong?
00:36:10Is I wrong to love you back then?
00:36:13I'm sorry.
00:36:15This is on me.
00:36:18It's my fault.
00:36:22You want me to let Vance off the hook?
00:36:25Fine.
00:36:28Get it.
00:36:32Oh, you won't do it?
00:36:35I have to pray that your whole girlfriend act is always doing the same.
00:36:38Half-hearted and just better.
00:36:39If you can't even go all in, don't come begging me to save your girlfriend.
00:36:50I'll do it!
00:36:55I'll go with you.
00:37:10I'll go with you.
00:37:11Laura!
00:37:33The DNA report's done.
00:37:37What did you just say?
00:37:39The DNA report's done.
00:37:48What did you just say?
00:37:54I'm sorry.
00:37:55I just...
00:37:55I didn't want Laura to see us and get the wrong idea.
00:37:58She's still your fiancé.
00:38:01After all.
00:38:03Is that so?
00:38:09You know?
00:38:10You know, I just helped you dodge a hell of a boy.
00:38:13How were you planning to thank me for that?
00:38:18I appreciate it.
00:38:19Really, Lucien.
00:38:26I don't run a charity, Evelyn.
00:38:28I do business.
00:38:30If I help you, you pay me back in something real.
00:38:36Same as when you were begging me to get pants off the hook.
00:38:41What do you want?
00:38:43What I want is...
00:39:08Strip.
00:39:09Strip.
00:39:09What?
00:39:10You want me to release Vance, right?
00:39:13Take all of your clothes off, and I won't press charges against him.
00:39:20Won't do it.
00:39:23Then get out of here.
00:39:28Fine.
00:39:29I'll do it.
00:39:31I'll do it.
00:39:35Never add an eye to my mood.
00:39:41So close I could almost have...
00:39:47Always seems just out of reach.
00:39:50Always close but never meet.
00:39:53When all I need to be is close to you.
00:39:58If I don't cross, did I even try?
00:40:02No.
00:40:04No.
00:40:05No.
00:40:09No.
00:40:09No.

00:45:36Eric, Mom, he's home.
00:45:45What are you doing here?
00:45:47Eric, are you okay?
00:45:50Didn't Mommy tell you not to open the door for strangers, honey?
00:45:53Can't believe this bitch, Evelyn, actually had Lucian's kid.
00:45:57Good thing I was able to intercept the news.
00:45:59And Lucian still has no idea.
00:46:01Now it's time for me to get rid of this bitch.
00:46:04Mommy, Auntie says she's your sister.
00:46:07She showed me some pictures of you two together.
00:46:09That's right, Evelyn.
00:46:11I'm your sister, I'm not a stranger.
00:46:14And when the DCFS initiates temporary guardianship,
00:46:17I'm your next of kin to take custody of Eric.
00:46:22No, I don't want you to be my guardian.
00:46:24I want my Mommy.
00:46:25You're bad.
00:46:26Go away!
00:46:28Hey, Eric.
00:46:30Nobody's going to take you away from Mommy, okay?
00:46:37Can we talk?
00:46:39Hmm.
00:46:45What exactly are you trying to pull here?
00:46:48You come at me.
00:46:49Directly.
00:46:51Dear sister, why would I hurt Eric?
00:46:54You're the one with the violent stabbing history.
00:46:57You could just lose control at any moment.
00:47:04Evelyn!
00:47:05What are you doing?
00:47:06I was just stating the facts!
00:47:10Evelyn!
00:47:11Can you just stop it?
00:47:13What the hell are you doing?
00:47:17Listen.
00:47:28Do you think if I sent this to the DCFS
00:47:32that they would initiate temporary guardianship
00:47:35and grant me, your only sister,
00:47:37custody of your son?
00:47:39No, that's slander.
00:47:40You're framing me.
00:47:41There's no way that they're going to believe you.
00:47:43Oh, yeah?
00:47:46You want to test that theory?
00:47:48What's the DCFS hotline again?
00:47:50It's that one...
00:47:51Stop! Stop!
00:47:57As long as you do not take Eric from me.
00:48:00Whatever you want, I will do it.
00:48:04See?
00:48:05It wasn't so hard, no, was it?
00:48:09Leave Lucian's company.
00:48:10Leave his life.
00:48:12And never show your little face again.
00:48:14Fine.
00:48:17I'll...
00:48:17Resign.
00:48:18Tomorrow.
00:48:19Stop!
00:48:21What else do you want?
00:48:23Remember what you told me.
00:48:26Don't test someone who's done time
00:48:29where you come from.
00:48:31People will kill each other
00:48:32over a pack of cigarettes.
00:48:36Bitch!
00:48:38That's what you get
00:48:39for trying to threaten me.
00:48:42I'm...
00:48:44I'm sorry.
00:48:45Sorry?
00:48:48Oh, you really think
00:48:50sorry makes me feel better?
00:48:53That's what you get
00:48:54for trying to scare me.
00:48:56And that!
00:48:58So you know who you're dealing with.
00:49:05Enough!
00:49:07Hey, you okay?
00:49:17You okay?
00:49:19Hey.
00:49:19You sure you're okay?
00:49:20I'm fine.
00:49:31I'm fine.
00:49:33No, it was just a dumb bet
00:49:34between guys.
00:49:35But I sure as hell
00:49:36wasn't gonna stand there
00:49:37and watch him put his mouth on her.
00:49:39But she kissed Evelyn?
00:49:42Fucking over!
00:49:44Hey.
00:49:45I warned you, didn't I?
00:49:47Now I'm being nice.
00:49:48But I won't be so nice next time.
00:49:52You're a whore.
00:49:54You remember what you promised me.
00:49:57Don't look at me.
00:50:03I got you.
00:50:05You're okay?
00:50:10This is probably the worst timing,
00:50:12but...
00:50:14I'm gonna ask anyways.
00:50:21Will you be my girlfriend?
00:50:28If you mean, just keep
00:50:31pretending in front of Lucien
00:50:33so that he doesn't...
00:50:34No.
00:50:36I'm not talking about
00:50:37putting an act on for Lucien.
00:50:41Damn it, I'm falling for you.
00:50:43Shit, I fell for you
00:50:44the moment you knocked on my door
00:50:45three months ago
00:50:46and you're telling me
00:50:47you're my neighbor
00:50:47holding that fresh-baked tray of cookies.
00:50:52At first, I said
00:50:53it's just because
00:50:54you're fresh out the service
00:50:55and you haven't dated
00:50:56in so long, but...
00:50:57No.
00:51:01I mean, after tonight,
00:51:03I'm watching him kiss you.
00:51:06I can't stand to see you
00:51:08in anyone else's arms.
00:51:09I love you, Evelyn.
00:51:12So,
00:51:14be my girlfriend.
00:51:26Yeah.
00:51:28Will you be my girlfriend?
00:51:33Vance.
00:51:37You're a really great guy.
00:51:40But I can't lie to you.
00:51:45I don't love you.
00:51:49At least not
00:51:50not in the way
00:51:51that you want me to.
00:51:57First time I actually
00:51:58put myself out there
00:51:59for a girl
00:52:00and get shut down
00:52:02on the spot.
00:52:03This one's for the history books.
00:52:05No, really.
00:52:06Thank you so much
00:52:06for everything that you've done
00:52:07for me in the last few months.
00:52:08But as for your cousin's company,
00:52:12L&L Group,
00:52:13I'm not going back there.
00:52:14I'm gonna...
00:52:15I'm gonna resign.
00:52:16And if there's some kind
00:52:17of penalty in the contractor
00:52:19and whatever,
00:52:20I'm gonna pay it.
00:52:20Hey.
00:52:22That's on me.
00:52:25I'm the one
00:52:26who took that stupid bar bet.
00:52:28If I didn't,
00:52:28he wouldn't have forced
00:52:29that kiss on you.
00:52:31So...
00:52:31So, yeah.
00:52:34I don't blame you
00:52:34if you don't want to
00:52:35step foot in that place again.
00:52:37And as far as the penalties,
00:52:39I...
00:52:40I'll take care of it.
00:52:45Thank you, Vance.
00:52:46Don't.
00:52:47I'm the one
00:52:48who drug you
00:52:48into this mess.
00:52:58Wait.
00:53:00You're saying
00:53:00that kid
00:53:01isn't mine?
00:53:02It's
00:53:03just a leaf.
00:53:15You're saying
00:53:18you're saying
00:53:20they're not
00:53:21but not
00:53:22they're effective.
00:53:23They're against
00:53:24you're saying
00:53:25what the war
00:53:25but they're
00:53:27like
00:53:33more
00:53:34You are mine.
00:53:37Goodbye, Lucian.
00:53:47Can I put on some more clothes?
00:53:51The money are the clothes. Your choice.
00:53:58If I don't make money, I'll lose custody of Eric.
00:54:01I can't let that happen.
00:54:05Uh, Evelyn?
00:54:07Bob?
00:54:13Bob, don't do this. I'm your sister.
00:54:16Oh, Laura is my sister.
00:54:19Your mother married my father and you're just the little slut she brought for me.
00:54:26Bitch!
00:54:28If you get any closer, I'll kill you.
00:54:31If you kill me, you'll go to jail.
00:54:34I don't care!
00:54:36I'll do it!
00:54:38If you say so.
00:54:41Help! Is this the police? Please, help me! My stepsister! She's trying to kill me! She has a knife!
00:54:47I'm at the Langley mansion!
00:54:52You know, if you strip naked, get on all fours and beg, I'll call mom.
00:54:58They're not gonna believe me.
00:55:00Try me.
00:55:01I can't believe the cops actually bought his story.
00:55:04Just because of that cut on his hand.
00:55:07What?
00:55:09You don't recognize me, darling sister?
00:55:12You don't recognize me, darling sister?
00:55:18What are you trying to do?
00:55:22You.
00:55:26How dare you hit me?
00:55:29I guess six years in jail wasn't enough to tame you.
00:55:33You little slut.
00:55:35Don't act innocent. You're the one working in a strip club.
00:55:38Let go of me!
00:55:40Or what?
00:55:41My sister Laura is about to marry Lucian.
00:55:44Lol, that means I gotta do whatever I want and he'll protect me.
00:55:48So how about I give you a thousand dollars to fuck you?
00:55:52Just...
00:55:54Bitch!
00:55:55You hit me!
00:55:57Don't you dare!
00:56:12Lucian, this is my brother Bob.
00:56:14Bob, what are you doing?
00:56:16Fighting with Evelyn.
00:56:17This bitch actually kept her word and quit.
00:56:20But who would have thought she's in the gentleman's club and ran into Lucian.
00:56:24Just my luck.
00:56:26Lucian, this waitress is my stepsister.
00:56:29I was just teaching her a lesson.
00:56:34We have no right to teach my assistant.
00:56:37What?
00:56:38How could you let your fiancé hire her without telling him what kind of a person your stepsister really is?
00:56:45I really don't know my assistant very well, do I?
00:56:50Please, enlighten me.
00:56:52She's desperate for money to marry into wealth.
00:56:56She snuck into my bed one night, tried to seduce me, and when I refused she stabbed me!
00:57:01She got sentenced to jail for six years!
00:57:05Six years ago my lawyer asked her mother to testify for you to court, but she refused.
00:57:10Is she protecting your stepbrother?
00:57:13Yes.
00:57:15She really loves my stepfather.
00:57:18Good thing I don't.
00:57:20Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
00:57:26Oh.
00:57:29Hit him.
00:57:34I-
00:57:35What are you waiting for?
00:57:37Hit him.
00:57:38No, I can't. I can't do any more time for this scumbag.
00:57:42From now on, no one else is doing time without my say-so.
00:57:52Evelyn, I have.
00:57:55So sorry about Bob.
00:57:57I don't know what he was thinking.
00:57:59Bringing up the past like that.
00:58:01You've already done your time.
00:58:03Lucian and I were just here for our date.
00:58:05And we didn't know that we'd run into you.
00:58:09We'll have the driver take you home.
00:58:12No, that's fine.
00:58:14I can't leave.
00:58:16I work here now.
00:58:21I'll go try to change your mind.
00:58:28Get out.
00:58:35What the heck?
00:58:36What's going on?
00:58:38Why is he protecting her?
00:58:40Does he still love her?
00:58:41Because if he does, how are you going to become Mrs. Lowell?
00:58:44And how are you going to pay off my gambling deal?
00:58:46Don't rush.
00:58:47Love doesn't matter in a wealthy marriage.
00:58:50But a clean background does.
00:58:52The Lowells will never let somebody with a criminal record
00:58:55marry their one and only heir.
00:58:58The Lowells might care, but Lucian won't.
00:59:01That's why I need one more thing from you.
00:59:03What?
00:59:04Well, I need Lucian to get you having sex with Evelyn in public
00:59:10with his very own eyes.
00:59:13I am going to completely destroy her.
00:59:18Are you insane?
00:59:19That is going to ruin me too.
00:59:21I'm your brother.
00:59:22Well, that's right.
00:59:23I trust you, idiot.
00:59:26So, either you become a registered sex offender
00:59:29or you get fed to the Lowell Sharps.
00:59:33Your choice.
00:59:50Lucian, I'm so sorry.
00:59:52She just, she won't have it.
00:59:54I mean, she said that one night here
00:59:57pays more than a month as your secretary.
01:00:00Funny.
01:00:02I'll go see for myself
01:00:03how much a little cocktail waitress makes in one night.
01:00:10My stepsister is working here
01:00:13and Lucian is just really upset about it.
01:00:16Do you think you could help me convince her to leave?
01:00:20Of course.
01:00:21You can't have Mrs. Lewis' sister
01:00:23working in a place like this.
01:00:26I already left your family
01:00:28and Lucian's company.
01:00:31So why can't you just let me go?
01:00:34Because your existence is getting in the way of our fortune.
01:00:42I just saw Evelyn go in here.
01:00:49Evelyn, open the door.
01:00:51Lucian.
01:00:52Lucian, I'm in here.
01:00:53I have waited a long time
01:00:56for Lucian to see
01:00:57just how much of a slut you raised me up.
01:01:01Evelyn, open up.
01:01:06If I smash this into his head,
01:01:08will I go to jail?
01:01:10Will I lose Eric?
01:01:30Evelyn.
01:01:31Lucian.
01:01:34Evelyn.
01:01:38Look at that fine body. I call the next dance.
01:01:42That's Laura's stepsister. I don't think we're going to be able to talk her way up to this one.
01:01:46Better call the family's PR guy.
01:01:48Oh, Evelyn. Why wouldn't you just leave when I asked you to?
01:01:53Evelyn, Lucian doesn't care about prison, but he definitely cares if you've slept with other men.
01:01:59He won't ever want you back after this.
01:02:02This is Lucian Lowell. I'd like to report a crime.
01:02:05Someone just tried to assault my assistant.
01:02:15It was her.
01:02:19Get out of the way!
01:02:29Hey, dude. I will be with the doctor.
01:02:36Can I sleep with you?
01:02:40Please.
01:02:41I'll pay you.
01:02:45Amy.
01:02:46Yeah?
01:02:47Very expensive.
01:02:49Can you afford me?
01:02:53Fuck.
01:03:08Hey, hey. Listen. You've been drugged. I will get a doctor.
01:03:13I feel great.
01:03:14Be part of the way!
01:03:23Please please.
01:03:28Woo!
01:03:41Evelyn, I don't care whose child you had in prison.
01:03:44I don't care about anything that came before me.
01:03:47I just want you with me from now on.
01:03:51All of you.
01:04:06I don't care.
01:04:28This was a mistake.
01:04:31I can't let it turn into something bigger.
01:04:34What are you doing?
01:04:40I'm waiting for the bus to take me home.
01:04:48Plan B?
01:04:52You really don't want a child with me, do you?
01:04:55You'd rather have one with some random convict in jail than risk having a kid with me?
01:05:02I shouldn't have your child.
01:05:04You shouldn't have my child?
01:05:07Then whose child should you have, huh?
01:05:09Vances?
01:05:10You really got around these last six years in jail, didn't you?
01:05:13I mean, do you even know whose kid that is?
01:05:17Don't you dare insult my child.
01:05:22Insult?
01:05:24The biggest insult to that child is having you as a mother.
01:05:31We will never allow a Lowell heir to have a criminal for a mother.
01:05:35That would be a stain on the child.
01:05:38And I have a family name.
01:05:42I'm innocent.
01:05:45If Vance knew your past, you'd really think he'd accept you?
01:05:50Yeah, I would.
01:05:53I don't think I know her past.
01:05:54I knew she did time the moment she stepped on my doorstep.
01:05:58Always talking cautious, fidgeting, checking her pockets, even though she didn't even have any.
01:06:05No, that matters to me.
01:06:07You know what's important?
01:06:08It's your amazing mother.
01:06:11It's your kind and beautiful inside and out.
01:06:14Vance, I...
01:06:15Look, I'm not here to confess my love again.
01:06:19Come on, Evelyn.
01:06:20Let's go home.
01:06:23Eric is worried about you.
01:06:27Okay.
01:06:30You'd best stay away from others.
01:06:32It's for your own good.
01:06:36For my own good, huh?
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:38Is it for my own good or is it for feelings that you just can't admit to yourself?
01:06:43Excuse me.
01:06:44You heard me.
01:06:45You think I'm blind?
01:06:47I know what's going on here.
01:06:49You've been hostile to Evelyn for the jump.
01:06:52And I know why.
01:06:54It's because she did time, just like your ex who ghosted you.
01:06:56And you're taking out on her unfairly.
01:06:59Taking it out on her.
01:07:00Yeah.
01:07:00You think you know all her past?
01:07:04Idiot.
01:07:06Please.
01:07:07Oh, hey.
01:07:08You all right?
01:07:09I think that I might have twisted my ankle.
01:07:12Can you take me home now?
01:07:13Yeah.
01:07:14Let's go.
01:07:18You're mine, Evelyn.
01:07:21Can't save her.
01:07:24Please, sir.
01:07:26Help me save this child.
01:07:28He got hit.
01:07:30Saving my dog.
01:07:32He has to get to a hospital.
01:07:34Please.
01:07:35This kid.
01:07:39This kid.
01:07:40This kid is driving a wedge between me and Evelyn.
01:07:42But my instinct still kicked in, and I took him to surgery.
01:07:51The patient is bleeding out.
01:07:52He needs a blood transfusion immediately.
01:07:54But we don't have enough RH negative blood.
01:07:56He needs a donor.
01:07:57Doctor, I'm RH negative.
01:08:00I can do it.
01:08:01Very well.
01:08:02Get him rent.
01:08:03Come with me.
01:08:07Doctor, I'm Eric's mother.
01:08:10Is he okay?
01:08:11He needs an urgent blood transfusion.
01:08:12We'll already seek in RH negative donor.
01:08:16RH negative.
01:08:18My cousin's RH negative.
01:08:20I'll just give him a call.
01:08:21He's not going to let Eric die.
01:08:22No, no, no.
01:08:23No, you can't.
01:08:23I know you don't like Lucian.
01:08:25Your son's life is on the line.
01:08:27Let's just put that aside for you.
01:08:29It's precisely for Eric's life that I cannot let Lucian do this.
01:08:33Why not?
01:08:34Because...
01:08:35Because what?
01:08:35Tell me.
01:08:37Because he is Eric's father.
01:08:40What?
01:08:40What?
01:08:4299.7% match?
01:08:44Transfusion is not recommended.
01:08:46What does this mean?
01:08:47The patient's immunity is low.
01:08:49Blood from a close relative could be rejected or cause complications.
01:08:53As the child's father, you cannot donate.
01:08:58Father?
01:09:00Me.
01:09:02I'm that child's father.
01:09:03Sir, you brought him here yourself and didn't realize he was your child?
01:09:08I...
01:09:10I didn't know.
01:09:21Lisa, put out a public call for RH negative blood donors.
01:09:25Offer $100,000.
01:09:27Actually, offer a million dollars.
01:09:34Everyone, you lied to me.
01:09:36How could you?
01:09:40My son.
01:09:43I have a son.
01:09:46How are you going to explain this?
01:09:53This is crazy.
01:09:55I have to call him.
01:09:57No, you cannot tell Lucian.
01:09:58No, you cannot tell Lucian.
01:10:02Eric is his son.
01:10:06I'm Lucian's ex-girlfriend.
01:10:08What?
01:10:09The taboo topic in the Lowell family.
01:10:13Huh.
01:10:14Makes perfect sense.
01:10:16No wonder why he acted all weird when he started showing up.
01:10:19Why he made that bet.
01:10:21So you're the one that broke his heart and soul.
01:10:24But why?
01:10:25Why keep it a secret?
01:10:27Why have him hate you?
01:10:30Because his father, Robert Lowell, told me that my criminal record was a stain on the Lowell family.
01:10:36And that if I were to have Lucian's child, that child would be taken away from me and raised by
01:10:41them.
01:10:41And I would rather that Lucian hate me than have Eric taken away from me.
01:10:48So please just don't tell him.
01:10:50I'm begging you.
01:10:52I won't.
01:10:54I understand.
01:10:55I understand.
01:10:59I don't agree.
01:11:03Lucian.
01:11:05How long were you standing there?
01:11:07Long enough to hear everything.
01:11:09I heard that Eric is my son.
01:11:12And that you're trying to deprive me of my rights as his father.
01:11:18I've got some nerve, by the way.
01:11:20I didn't have a choice.
01:11:23I can't lose Eric.
01:11:25He's my entire world.
01:11:27What about me?
01:11:28Am I disposable?
01:11:30You have your mother.
01:11:32You have your father.
01:11:33You have your family.
01:11:35All I have is Eric.
01:11:38I can't lose him.
01:11:40You've got me.
01:11:42You'll always have me.
01:11:44Alright?
01:11:45Trust me.
01:11:46I'll protect you.
01:11:49No one has taken Eric from you.
01:11:51Not my father.
01:11:52Not anyone else from my family.
01:11:54Okay?
01:11:56Okay.
01:11:57Okay.
01:11:58What about if your father or your family tries to take Eric?
01:12:03Are you going to stand up in court?
01:12:05If you do, the entire world is going to know that Eric's mother is a criminal.
01:12:11And he's going to be ridiculed.
01:12:13I can't.
01:12:14I don't want that.
01:12:18I just want him to grow up in peace.
01:12:22I don't want him to be bullied because of me.
01:12:26I know it's so selfish.
01:12:27But I cannot lose him.
01:12:31I can't.
01:12:32I can't.
01:12:35Please.
01:12:37Leave us.
01:12:38Leave Eric.
01:12:40Don't stand up to the rules.
01:12:45Just don't drag us into this mess.
01:12:47Please.
01:12:51Okay.
01:12:54I'll do what you say.
01:12:57I'll leave you.
01:12:59Leave Eric.
01:13:00I'll marry someone else.
01:13:16I'll marry someone else.
01:13:19I'll marry someone else.
01:13:40Please come out.
01:13:43Who asked you to afford my paternity test results?
01:13:46Tell me now or I'll kill you.
01:13:48It was Flora, your fiancée, that she paid me two billion dollars and asked me to notify her of the
01:13:54results.
01:13:55She really is something.
01:13:57Before you take the stand, you better stay somewhere safe.
01:14:03Guards! Take them.
01:14:18Lucian, I heard you had Laura's brother sent to jail.
01:14:22Yes.
01:14:24We're already formally engaged in the Langley's.
01:14:27We're gonna marry Laura in a month.
01:14:28I hope you can withdraw your lawsuit to avoid tarnishing our image.
01:14:32Why didn't you ask the Langley family to drop Evelyn's charges six years ago?
01:14:36That was entirely different.
01:14:38That matter had been settled on.
01:14:40Is that so?
01:14:42Do you really think I'm better off marrying someone like Laura over Evelyn?
01:14:46At least Laura hasn't been to jail.
01:14:51Okay.
01:14:54I'll marry Laura next month.
01:14:56But on one condition.
01:14:58That she can bear me a child.
01:15:06Dear father,
01:15:08even though Laura's never been to jail,
01:15:11you'll see how easily she can stroll your precious family on her.
01:15:17Really?
01:15:18Really, Mr. Lowell?
01:15:19Did Lucian really agree to marry me next month?
01:15:24Of course I can produce a Lowell heir.
01:15:28Did you hear that, Mom?
01:15:30I am gonna marry Lucian by the end of next month.
01:15:33Yeah.
01:15:34I also heard you promise the Lowell family an heir.
01:15:39Aren't you infertile?
01:15:40How are you gonna do that?
01:15:41Maybe I can't give birth, but...
01:15:44I have another child in mind.
01:15:50Are you serious?
01:15:52Lucian will kill me if I do.
01:15:54No, he won't.
01:15:55Besides,
01:15:56once I get custody of the Lowell heir,
01:15:59it won't matter who the biological mother is,
01:16:02because I'll be the legal mother of the Lowell heir.
01:16:05And if they got you out of jail this time,
01:16:08definitely do it again.
01:16:09Just to protect their name.
01:16:10Plus,
01:16:12once I marry Lucian,
01:16:13I can help you clear all of your gambling debts.
01:16:17Deal.
01:16:20Okay, honey.
01:16:21So Mom has to go to work,
01:16:22and Uncle Vance is gonna take you to school,
01:16:24and then Mommy's gonna pick you up
01:16:26and get you ice cream, alright?
01:16:27Okay, Mommy.
01:16:30Vance, thank you so much for helping out with him, really.
01:16:34I don't know what I would do without you.
01:16:37I'm happy to help.
01:16:40Alright, bud.
01:16:41Time to go to school.
01:16:42Say goodbye to Mommy.
01:16:44Bye-bye, Mommy.
01:16:45Bye-bye.
01:16:47Bye, have fun.
01:16:56Evelyn?
01:17:00Eric,
01:17:01your mother has been missing for 24 hours.
01:17:03Okay, so for your safety,
01:17:05we're gonna have you stay with your Auntie Laura.
01:17:07She'll be your temporary guardian
01:17:08until we find your mother.
01:17:10Uncle Vance, save me!
01:17:12Mommy isn't missing!
01:17:13She was taken by the bad guys!
01:17:15Okay, bye.
01:17:16Let's go.
01:17:17Vance,
01:17:18you should know that Eric's aunt
01:17:20is the best candidate for temporary guardianship.
01:17:23I know, but...
01:17:24If nobody has any objections,
01:17:26I'll take the kid.
01:17:27Give me your hand, bud.
01:17:31Eric!
01:17:33Eric!
01:17:34No!
01:17:37Don't worry.
01:17:38I'll take good care of you.
01:17:52Guys, look, I'm gonna give you this chance.
01:17:54Evelyn's been kidnapped.
01:17:55I know.
01:17:56I've already tracked down the kidnapper.
01:17:58I know you love her.
01:17:59I can't be with you.
01:18:00Let me correct you.
01:18:01She loves me too.
01:18:03Enough drinking.
01:18:04The loser will be shark baited.
01:18:06Oh, don't worry.
01:18:07In a place like this,
01:18:08she can't run off.
01:18:09Drink.
01:18:10Drink up.
01:18:27Lucian.
01:18:28Fist.
01:18:29You almost...
01:18:30Shh...
01:18:32The guards on side are passed out.
01:18:34He'll come to you in a minute.
01:18:35Listen to me now.
01:18:36Do you know who kidnapped you?
01:18:41It was Bob.
01:18:43I overheard him instructing them.
01:18:45Do you know why you kidnapped you?
01:18:48I guess my presence is just an eyesore to them or something.
01:18:52No.
01:18:54They want to take what you treasure most.
01:18:56Maura isn't able to have children around.
01:18:59So, she wants to take yours.
01:19:02No, she can't!
01:19:07Do you trust me?
01:19:13Next, I need you to answer these questions truthfully.
01:19:17Is Eric my son?
01:19:22Evie, I need you to tell me the truth so I can help you.
01:19:25Is Eric my son?
01:19:29Yes.
01:19:31Bob was the one who put you in jail six years ago, wasn't he?
01:19:37Yes.
01:19:40Do you love me?
01:19:42Yes.
01:19:47I knew it.
01:19:49I knew you loved me.
01:19:50Somebody tell me...
01:19:54Where is there to...
01:19:58Okay.
01:19:59I have a plan to stop Laura from making Eric.
01:20:02I need you to be brave.
01:20:04Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do anything for Eric.
01:20:07Listen.
01:20:08You have to.
01:20:23Laura.
01:20:24You're the one who kidnapped me?
01:20:26Why?
01:20:27Oh, let me count the reasons.
01:20:31Hey, you like my dress?
01:20:35You designed it six years ago for your wedding with Lucien.
01:20:38And now it's mine.
01:20:40Oh, look at this.
01:20:42Mommy isn't missing. She was taken by the bad guy.
01:20:46What did you do to my son?
01:20:49Give me back my son!
01:20:51Evelyn, your son is fine.
01:20:52Well, he's my son now, actually.
01:20:55He is the Lowell heir, after all.
01:20:59Oh, and look.
01:21:06It's your favorite church, Evelyn.
01:21:08I remember hearing you tell Lucien that you wanted to get married there.
01:21:12And now it's mine.
01:21:18Wait.
01:21:19You overheard.
01:21:21Six years ago our relationship was a secret.
01:21:24So how did you know, Laura?
01:21:26Oh!
01:21:28Now you're right.
01:21:29I accidentally walked by one of your dates.
01:21:33Otherwise I wouldn't have known that a broke bitch like you could actually be with the Lowell heir.
01:21:41So you've been in love with Lucien this entire time?
01:21:44No.
01:21:44No, not so much Lucien as I am in love with the powerful Lowell family.
01:21:49Their kind of wealth is something that my family would never be able to obtain on their own.
01:21:54And I want the best life for myself.
01:21:59Do you know why you went to jail six years ago, Evelyn?
01:22:03It's because you were the one thing in my life that was keeping me from my best life.
01:22:11So when Bob set me up six years ago, that was your idea?
01:22:16Well, of course.
01:22:17Bob's a moron, but at least he's useful.
01:22:20So he helped me put you in jail six years ago, and today he's going to take the fall for
01:22:24your murder.
01:22:25Are you insane?
01:22:27You've gone too far, Laura. That's your brother.
01:22:30Too far?
01:22:32Everybody has the right to pursue their own happiness, right?
01:22:36Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the bride.
01:22:43Watch closely, my dear sister, while I marry the man that you so love.
01:22:51You're gonna pay for this, Laura.
01:22:53Pay what? The price for being a part of the wealthiest family?
01:22:59Oh, oh, and I almost forgot.
01:23:01So when that door closes, all of the oxygen in here will cease.
01:23:06So you have about two hours to survive, give or take.
01:23:09And while that happens, you get to watch while I marry Lucien.
01:23:14Or I'm gonna take your man and your child.
01:23:19And guess what?
01:23:20Spoiler.
01:23:21Bob's the killer.
01:23:23Laura!
01:23:24Laura!
01:23:25Laura!
01:23:29Where is the bride?
01:23:31So when Bob set me up six years ago, that was your idea?
01:23:35What is that sound?
01:23:37Well, of course.
01:23:38Bob's a moron, but at least he's useful.
01:23:41Oh my goodness, is that Evelyn Langley, the missing girl?
01:23:45What is she doing there?
01:23:49You peasants.
01:23:51Never seen such a luxurious wife.
01:23:55I guess what?
01:23:56Spoiler.
01:23:57Bob's the killer.
01:23:59Turn it off.
01:24:00Turn it off!
01:24:01No.
01:24:01No.
01:24:06Lushu, this is all just a big misunderstanding.
01:24:10Uh...
01:24:11Let's please continue with the wedding.
01:24:18Lushu...
01:24:30I'm sorry.
01:24:33I regret everything.
01:24:35I thought that I could let you go.
01:24:37And that I could just wish you well.
01:24:39But I can't watch you marry another woman.
01:24:42Because you're mine.
01:24:44And you can only marry me.
01:24:46Because I love you.
01:24:48But I love you so much.
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52Good girl.
01:24:53You did great.
01:25:10It's like what you all do.
01:25:10Good girl.
01:25:11Good girl.
01:25:25Vance, get the footage from the store room and use it to sue Laura for framing Evelyn
01:25:29six years ago.
01:25:30No, no, no.
01:25:31And for kidnapping and attempted murder.
01:25:33No.
01:25:35Evelyn, we were just joking.
01:25:37I was just joking.
01:25:38You have to believe me, Lucien.
01:25:40We were just playing hide-and-go-seek by Evelyn.
01:25:46Save it for the jury, Laura.
01:25:50Bob, my brother, you can convince Lucien that I was just kidding.
01:25:56Right, Bob?
01:25:58I'm just a moron.
01:25:59Remember your stink goat for murder?
01:26:05Robert, you once said that I was a perfect match for Lucien.
01:26:10I...
01:26:11The Lowell family does not need a rich daughter-in-law, but a clean record.
01:26:16You framed your stepsister that had her sent to prison for six years just to steal her fiancé.
01:26:22Then, you kidnapped her and tried to murder her.
01:26:25It was broadcast worldwide.
01:26:28You're going away for a long time.
01:26:32No!
01:26:32No!
01:26:33No!
01:26:34No!
01:26:35No!
01:26:35No!
01:26:36No!
01:26:42I love you.
01:26:44I love you so much.
01:26:48I'll follow you in
01:26:52To the frontier of sin
01:26:56On our way now
01:26:59Any day now
01:27:03I'll follow you in
01:27:09To your touch on
