00:00:01Inmate 4317-289, Evelyn Langley.
00:00:06Visitation approved.
00:00:08Visitor, Lucian Lowell.
00:00:13Um, can I please get a tablecloth?
00:00:19Please, I don't want him to know that I'm pregnant.
00:00:27This necklace means a lot to me.
00:00:31I love you, Evelyn. You are mine.
00:00:36But there's no going back now.
00:00:44Evelyn, it's been five months.
00:00:47I've been counting every single day until you'd let me see you.
00:00:50You don't look good. Are 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. We're going to fight this against you.
00:01:01Lucian, we're done.
00:01:03What?
00:01:06I said you were-
00:01:07No.
00:01:08No, I don't accept that.
00:01:11I'll wait for you, Evelyn.
00:01:15I'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.
00:01:36So you should find someone else.
00:01:37I'm not giving up on you.
00:01:39You said you'd love me for life.
00:01:41You said that we'd have babies, remember?
00:01:44A little one with golden hair like my grandpa.
00:01:56What is this?
00:01:59We had a baby.
00:02:02Once.
00:02:05Not anymore.
00:02:09Two months?
00:02:11What?
00:02:15You killed our baby?
00:02:18You did this just to break up with me?
00:02:24Are you out of your fucking mind, Evelyn?
00:02:26That was our baby!
00:02:28You know how bad I wanted a child!
00:02:31Sir!
00:02:32You're out of line, kids, it's over.
00:02:33Let's go, now!
00:02:35Evelyn.
00:02:36Evelyn Langley, I hate you!
00:02:38I hate you!
00:02:45Lucian loves you.
00:02:47Since you've been remanded,
00:02:48he's been running all over town,
00:02:50lining up the best council,
00:02:51trying to get your time reduced.
00:02:56Lucian...
00:02:57It's touching, isn't it?
00:03:00And the soul layer of a low family
00:03:02falls head over heels for...
00:03:03someone like you.
00:03:05But for us, it's a nightmare.
00:03:08When the low name becomes a punchline
00:03:11the second its heir falls for a criminal.
00:03:13No, sir, I was framed.
00:03:15That man tried to force himself on me.
00:03:17I didn't hurt him, I...
00:03:18Look, I am sorry for what happened to you.
00:03:22I truly am.
00:03:24But that doesn't change the fact about who you are.
00:03:27For my son's reputation,
00:03:30for his future,
00:03:31you need to walk away.
00:03:37And what if I were pregnant?
00:03:39Would I get a second chance?
00:03:41Miss Langley,
00:03:43you will not marry into this family
00:03:45by leveraging a pregnancy.
00:03:47If you were ever to carry Lucian's child,
00:03:49we would take full custody.
00:03:51You would be out of the picture.
00:03:53Because we will never allow a low heir
00:03:55to have a criminal for a mother.
00:03:57That would be a stain on the child.
00:04:01And on our family name.
00:04:06You know how bad I wanted a child!
00:04:09Evelyn.
00:04:10Evelyn, I hate you!
00:04:16I'll wait for you.
00:04:18Evelyn.
00:04:20I'll marry you.
00:04:23No.
00:04:26Nobody's gonna take you away from me, okay?
00:04:30Not even your father.
00:04:41Sir, you've been out here for over three hours.
00:04:43Who are you waiting on?
00:04:44Evelyn Langley.
00:04:45Number 4317289.
00:04:48She's scheduled to be released today.
00:04:50Evelyn Langley?
00:04:51She was released for Good Behavior three months ago.
00:04:53You didn't know?
00:05:01Right.
00:05:03Of course.
00:05:05Evelyn Langley.
00:05:07When you said we were over,
00:05:10you meant it.
00:05:16Good morning, Miss Langley.
00:05:18I'm Luis Morales with Los Angeles County DCFS.
00:05:22Oh, please.
00:05:30Luis, just breathe.
00:05:32You're okay.
00:05:34Hi, Miss Morales.
00:05:36Miss Langley.
00:05:37Now, our records show that you were released early for good behavior.
00:05:41Now, that's noted.
00:05:42However, we did receive a report alleging that you do not have a steady income and cannot reliably cover rent,
00:05:49which may put your child's welfare at risk.
00:05:53Now, if these conditions aren't met, DCFS will have to initiate temporary protective custody.
00:05:58That report is malicious.
00:06:00That report is malicious.
00:06:00I have a job.
00:06:01I...
00:06:03I got the offer today.
00:06:09All right.
00:06:11But you also have a prior for assault with a deadly weapon on your record.
00:06:15If we observe any indication of violence, we may also detain your child.
00:06:19No, I'm not going to make that mistake again.
00:06:22If I may.
00:06:24And you are?
00:06:25Vance Reed.
00:06:27I'm her neighbor.
00:06:29The U.S. Army veterans served for seven years and honorably discharged.
00:06:33I'll vouch for her character.
00:06:35She's steady, gentle, and all-around good, Mom.
00:06:40All right.
00:06:42Thanks for coming by.
00:06:43Have a good day.
00:06:43You too.
00:06:52My Eric actually got golden hair, just like Lucian's grandpa.
00:06:57Mom, we're not getting split up, right?
00:07:01No.
00:07:01Not now, not ever.
00:07:03Okay?
00:07:03I promise.
00:07:08Thank you for the job lead and for backing me up.
00:07:13Of course.
00:07:15I know how much you love this little rascal.
00:07:18I couldn't stand to see you to a part.
00:07:21Really.
00:07:22Thanks, Uncle Vance.
00:07:27Come on, let's drop him off at school.
00:07:28I can take you to see my cousin's company.
00:07:32All right.
00:07:32You're all set.
00:07:34Executive assistant to the CEO.
00:07:36The boss is out right now, but you can start tomorrow and we'll go.
00:07:40Oh, boss, you're back.
00:07:51You're back.
00:07:52You're back.
00:07:53I'm going to fight.
00:07:55You killed our baby.
00:07:56You did this just to break up with me?
00:07:58Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:07:59Evelyn!
00:08:00Let's go.
00:08:00Evelyn, I hate you.
00:08:08Hey.
00:08:11Come on, introductions
00:08:18Perfect timing
00:08:19This is the new assistant I recommended
00:08:21Evelyn Langley
00:08:22This is my cousin, Rishi Lowell
00:08:25Started this company four years ago
00:08:27I know he looks all stern
00:08:29But he's really a softie
00:08:31Almost got himself killed rescuing a puppy
00:08:33When we were kids
00:08:34Likes his coffee black, bitter as sand
00:08:37He's got a serious sweet tooth
00:08:38That's enough
00:08:40Hey, she's your assistant
00:08:42I was just telling her your preferences
00:08:44My preferences
00:08:46Oh, she knows
00:08:47Including my size
00:08:50Every inch
00:08:52She knows it completely
00:08:55And deeply
00:08:57Isn't that right, Miss Langley?
00:08:59What?
00:09:02What do you mean she knows?
00:09:04Because
00:09:07Because
00:09:08Because you're a public figure
00:09:12I did my homework
00:09:13Before day one
00:09:15See, I told you I'd pick winners
00:09:18Anyways, let me break it
00:09:1932 and 25, 35
00:09:23Down the size, aren't you?
00:09:38Down the size, aren't you?
00:09:45Um, I'm sorry
00:09:48I just, I don't think that I'm the right fit for this job
00:09:54I just, I don't think that I'm the right fit for this job
00:10:16Hands on
00:10:17Hands on, read
00:10:18I mean your size
00:10:19I don't think that I'm the right fit for this job
00:10:50I don't think that I'm the right fit for this job
00:10:53Lucian and I are engaged
00:10:54We were just about to spread the good news
00:10:57Isn't that right, honey?
00:10:59So while I was rotting in prison for six years
00:11:01He became my stepsister's fiancée
00:11:04My stepsister
00:11:05The little sister of the bastard who framed me and got me locked up.
00:11:09What's wrong, Evelyn?
00:11:11Are you nervous?
00:11:12Don't be.
00:11:13Russian's a good man.
00:11:14He won't judge you just because he's done time.
00:11:18Isn't that right, honey?
00:11:24Yeah, she's been locked up.
00:11:28But she was framed.
00:11:29Besides, she's my girl, so don't be giving her any wrong looks.
00:11:34Miss Langley, I hired you to work, not date.
00:11:37Kindly perform your duties.
00:11:39Brew me a coffee, bring it to my office.
00:11:44And be sure to make one for your boss's fiancée.
00:11:48Me.
00:11:49I like mine scalding.
00:11:57I'm sorry for the whole girlfriend thing.
00:11:59I was just...
00:12:00No, I know.
00:12:01I know you were just trying to cover for me, so I wouldn't get singled out.
00:12:05But just don't do that again.
00:12:07When people think you're dating a felon, it's...
00:12:09It's not good for you.
00:12:12I'm fine.
00:12:13Come on.
00:12:14I'll go help you make that cup of coffee.
00:12:18Sorry if my cousin spooked you back there.
00:12:20No, it's...
00:12:21I'm fine.
00:12:23Yeah?
00:12:25You know, you didn't know what it used to be like this.
00:12:28Went through a pretty ugly breakup about five, six years ago.
00:12:31Blew up his whole world.
00:12:32Turned him cold and quiet.
00:12:35In fact, it's a bit taboo to even speak of her name in the Lowell family.
00:12:42A taboo.
00:12:44Sounds more like a shame.
00:12:46Hmm?
00:12:47Well, I...
00:12:48I don't know, I was deployed back then.
00:12:50I don't really know all the details, but...
00:12:53I can tell he's pretty broken up about it still.
00:12:56Really?
00:12:56Yeah, he even named his company after them.
00:12:59L&L Group.
00:13:01L&L.
00:13:03I love you, Evelyn.
00:13:05I want everything I own to carry your name.
00:13:08Evelyn Langley.
00:13:10Lucian Lowell.
00:13:11The L&L Group.
00:13:13Both of our last names for the new company.
00:13:16How does that say it?
00:13:19I can't hold it.
00:13:20I can't hold it.
00:13:24You are mine.
00:13:32Oh, shit.
00:13:33Oh, shit.
00:13:34Oh, my God.
00:13:36That looks like a second-degree burn.
00:13:37I'll go get some burn cream.
00:13:39I'll be right back, okay?
00:13:43Lucian, I'm sorry.
00:13:48I love you.
00:13:50And I can't pull you down with my past.
00:13:53And I can't lose Eric.
00:14:00You burned yourself?
00:14:09Did you run?
00:14:15You're pushing me away because of dance?
00:14:17Yes.
00:14:18Mr. Lowell, you're standing too close.
00:14:30Too close.
00:14:37Too close.
00:14:39Used to mean.
00:14:41That's my tongue.
00:14:43From every inch of your skin.
00:14:45With you underneath me.
00:14:47Shaking.
00:14:48Screaming my name.
00:14:50No.
00:14:51Don't say another word.
00:14:52Why not?
00:14:54Frank, your precious boyfriend's gonna hear?
00:15:00Good.
00:15:02Because he's gonna hear.
00:15:04And he's gonna see.
00:15:15Do you even know what you're doing?
00:15:18Are you out of your mind?
00:15:19I've been out of my mind for six years.
00:15:23Ever since you said we were different.
00:15:26Let's get one thing straight, okay?
00:15:29Whatever we were, I am your assistant now.
00:15:33Who the hell wants you as my assistant?
00:15:36I want you as my woman.
00:15:39My wife.
00:15:44Come back to me, Evelyn.
00:15:47Who the hell wants you to be called and this wild thing?
00:16:17Evelyn!
00:16:28Evelyn, I got the burn cream!
00:16:34Lucian.
00:16:39Lucian, what are you doing here?
00:16:41Is Evelyn still in there?
00:16:42She already took the coffee to a client.
00:16:44Oh, I'll run it to her.
00:16:46Okay, hold up.
00:16:47Evelyn's my assistant and she's on the clock.
00:16:49I'll interrupt her.
00:16:50Here, give me the cream.
00:16:51I'll make sure she gets it.
00:16:53Okay.
00:16:54It was a bad burn though.
00:16:56Make sure she puts it on right away.
00:16:57I don't want her to get infected.
00:16:59Thanks.
00:17:00Catch up with you later.
00:17:07Lucian, there you are.
00:17:11Martin Trent from TL is waiting for you in your office.
00:17:15You're right there.
00:17:25Evelyn.
00:17:31Pack it up, Evelyn.
00:17:33Get your ass out of this company right now.
00:17:35Fresh out of prison and you're already sniffing around Lucian?
00:17:39Please.
00:17:40You think I don't know what game you're playing?
00:17:43Trying to seduce him?
00:17:44What's the matter?
00:17:45You scared I'm back?
00:17:47That makes sense.
00:17:49Six years.
00:17:51And you still haven't managed to become Mrs. Lowell.
00:17:54You bitch.
00:17:57Don't mess with someone who's done time.
00:18:01Where I was, people kill each other over a pack of cigarettes.
00:18:11Don't mess with me again.
00:18:12Unless you want Lucian to know how nasty you really are.
00:18:17Under that sweet little mask of yours.
00:18:24You're trash.
00:18:25You should have spent the rest of your life with Jensen.
00:18:34Evelyn!
00:18:35These are our top client files.
00:18:37Study them.
00:18:38Mr. Lowell's going to quiz you.
00:18:40Thanks.
00:18:54Mr. Lowell, how can I help you?
00:18:57Day's over.
00:18:59I'm driving you home.
00:19:01You can say no, but then I'll carry you through the whole office until you're in my car.
00:19:08Fine.
00:19:16Thank you for the ride, Mr. Lowell.
00:19:19I'll see you tomorrow.
00:19:23Why didn't you call me when you got out?
00:19:32I didn't see the point.
00:19:47I'll see you tomorrow.
00:19:47Lucian.
00:19:49Vance, pick this up for you.
00:19:51Burn cream.
00:19:52I forgot to give it to you earlier.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:55Oh, hold on.
00:19:58You're not going to invite me in for some coffee?
00:20:02Um, now's...
00:20:03Now's not a good time.
00:20:11Hey, what are you...
00:20:15You're living with Vance now?
00:20:16That's why it's not a good time?
00:20:17I've only been out three months.
00:20:19You already need to get dicked down that bad.
00:20:21Ha!
00:20:22My personal life is none of your business.
00:20:25Oh yeah.
00:20:25And I'll make it my business.
00:20:34Get out!
00:20:38Mom!
00:20:43Mom!
00:20:44You're back!
00:20:48Mom?
00:20:53Hi!
00:20:54Mom?
00:20:58This is my mom!
00:20:59Mister!
00:21:00Are you my mom's friend?
00:21:01That blonde kid.
00:21:03If she hadn't ended the pregnancy six years ago,
00:21:06our kid would be about this age.
00:21:09Hey kid, how old are you?
00:21:12Hi!
00:21:13Eric!
00:21:15Hey bud!
00:21:16Dry your hair, man.
00:21:17I don't want you catching the cold.
00:21:21Lucian.
00:21:23Vance.
00:21:24What are you doing here?
00:21:26I...
00:21:27Vance.
00:21:28Could you just take Eric outside for just a minute?
00:21:32Yeah.
00:21:33Sure.
00:21:35Come on bud.
00:21:36Let's go play catch.
00:21:38Legos?
00:21:39I love Legos.
00:21:47That boy Eric.
00:21:50Is he mine?
00:21:54Is that my son?
00:21:55No.
00:21:58As you can see, he's Vance's and mine.
00:22:00Come on Evelyn.
00:22:02You just pulled that lie out of your ass.
00:22:03When you were inside, Vance was deployed with the Rangers.
00:22:06So when exactly did you two have this baby?
00:22:12Okay fine, you caught that.
00:22:14Eric isn't Vance's.
00:22:17He's the child that I had with a guard.
00:22:20In prison.
00:22:21No, no.
00:22:21That's a fucking lie.
00:22:22No, stop.
00:22:24Don't do this to me.
00:22:25Why would I lie?
00:22:28You know how it is.
00:22:29When you're inside, you still have to survive.
00:22:31You do things.
00:22:32For money.
00:22:35You sell yourself for money, huh?
00:22:39Why didn't you come to me?
00:22:41I would've given you every damn dollar you wanted.
00:22:43Please, get your hands off me.
00:22:49You don't want me to touch you?
00:22:51Okay.
00:23:03I already paid.
00:23:05Now fuck you now.
00:23:11Mission.
00:23:13Please don't do that.
00:23:18Why does everyone else get two?
00:23:21And I don't.
00:23:24Why?
00:23:41Mom, we're back!
00:23:43Mom, look!
00:23:44Up it's a Lego spaceship!
00:23:46Please, please.
00:23:48Amy, you just stop.
00:23:54I'll spread your legs for anyone who pays.
00:23:57And now you care about your kids' feelings?
00:24:05Mom, we're back!
00:24:08Mom, look what I made!
00:24:10Oh, wow!
00:24:12That's awesome!
00:24:16Mister, do you think it looks cool?
00:24:23Yeah.
00:24:24Looks great.
00:24:25Good job.
00:24:30Hey.
00:24:31You know my buddies are throwing a little party celebrating me getting to the fire department?
00:24:35Oh.
00:24:36I was wondering if you want to be my date.
00:24:39Oh.
00:24:39She doesn't have time for that.
00:24:41She's got a full-time job.
00:24:43Your recommendation, remember?
00:24:47Yeah.
00:24:48I mean, it's after hours.
00:24:50Come on.
00:24:51Help me out.
00:24:52I don't want to be the only single guy there.
00:24:56Sure.
00:24:58Yeah, of course.
00:24:59I'll be your date.
00:25:07Ah, Mr. Loud.
00:25:08I need a paternity test to run on these.
00:25:10Let me know if they're father and son.
00:25:12Sadly.
00:25:13Leave it with me.
00:25:17Mister, do you think it looks cool?
00:25:20Is he really not ours?
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25Looks great.
00:25:28Eric, are you my son?
00:25:32I'm very sorry, Miss Hicks.
00:25:34You're infertile.
00:25:35But you can always consider adoption.
00:25:39Adoption, my ass.
00:25:41Adoption doesn't make me Mrs. Lowell.
00:25:43Only carrying Lucian's heir does.
00:25:48Don't worry, Mr. Loud.
00:25:50I'll exploit the results.
00:25:52Appreciate it.
00:26:00I know that you're seven figures deep in gambling debt.
00:26:03So, how about you tell me why Lucian Lowell was here?
00:26:08And this one million could be yours.
00:26:19He asked me to run a DNA test.
00:26:21Father and son.
00:26:25Well.
00:26:28When the results arrive, call me first.
00:26:34Not Lucian.
00:26:42Um, Mr. Lowell.
00:26:45I need your signature on these.
00:26:54Dressed up like this.
00:26:56All for Vance's little party tonight.
00:26:59That's my personal business.
00:27:04Looks like I've ruined your dress.
00:27:08I'm sorry, I got your dress all dirty.
00:27:12Fine.
00:27:13Hey.
00:27:15How could it be fine?
00:27:16I've ruined it.
00:27:18I'll make it right.
00:27:21It's two last minutes to buy you a new one.
00:27:23So for now, just wear mine.
00:27:29I'll get you a better one later.
00:27:31Okay.
00:27:32That's fine.
00:27:34Thanks.
00:27:35I'll just wash this one and bring it back tomorrow.
00:27:37My boyfriend's downstairs.
00:27:39So...
00:27:40I should go.
00:27:46Boyfriend, huh?
00:27:48No one wears that label but me.
00:27:55Evelyn.
00:27:55Hi.
00:27:56Ah, you're looking stunning.
00:27:59Thanks.
00:28:02That shirt looks a little familiar though.
00:28:06Um...
00:28:06Yeah.
00:28:07All dress shirts kind of just look the same.
00:28:10But we're gonna be late so we should probably go.
00:28:13You're right.
00:28:15After you, my lady.
00:28:20Backseat safer.
00:28:22What are you-
00:28:27Lucian, what are you doing?
00:28:29It's my cousin's celebration party.
00:28:31Of course I'm going.
00:28:32Isn't that right, Vance?
00:28:36Absolutely.
00:28:38I mean, shit, you haven't had a proper night out in what?
00:28:40Six years?
00:28:42You wanna break that streak celebrating me?
00:28:43Let's go.
00:28:45Alright.
00:28:46Let's go.
00:28:47Drive.
00:28:49He used to live for parties.
00:28:50Four or five a month, like clockwork.
00:28:53And he hasn't even been to one since we broke up.
00:28:56Okay, so we got Jackson, Bob.
00:28:59Who else do you want on the list?
00:29:01We've already thrown four parties this month.
00:29:04Why another?
00:29:07Because...
00:29:08I want everyone to know your mind, Evelyn.
00:29:10And I want the whole world to see it.
00:29:13And I'm with you.
00:29:14I'm the happiest man alive.
00:29:18Alright.
00:29:20Where?
00:29:39I hear my voice.
00:29:44Oh!
00:29:44Oh!
00:29:46What's going on?
00:29:47It's so beautiful.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:49Pardon me, baby.
00:29:50Alright?
00:29:50Two and three.
00:29:51On you.
00:29:51On me?
00:29:52Alright.
00:29:53Take it easy, animals.
00:29:54I want to introduce you to Evelyn.
00:29:56Hi.
00:29:58And it's my cousin, Lucien Ro.
00:30:01The air.
00:30:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30:03We know, we know.
00:30:04Six years ago, the internet's favorite clown.
00:30:07Mr. Trust fun, lovesick, fell in love with the criminal, right?
00:30:15Look, sorry, man.
00:30:17I'm just curious.
00:30:19How does a guy like you just burn all of his pride away for some woman?
00:30:23And then you start sucking up to those slimy judges and politicians just to try to figure
00:30:28out.
00:30:31The whole name becomes a punchline the second its air falls for a criminal.
00:30:37So he carried all that heat because of me?
00:30:41Hey, take it easy.
00:30:43Come on.
00:30:44We all ugly cried over a one night stand who ghosted us before checkout.
00:30:49It's not on him.
00:30:50It's on that slut.
00:30:51He never deserved him in the first place.
00:30:57What happens when he figures out that slut is you?
00:31:01Do you think he'll regret busting his ass recommending you as my assistant?
00:31:06Or just regret ever meeting you at all?
00:31:10Hey.
00:31:11I'm sorry about those clowns.
00:31:13Pool table's open.
00:31:15Say we run a game.
00:31:16Okay?
00:31:18Wanna play?
00:31:21Oh, I just, I don't know how to play.
00:31:23Sorry.
00:31:26Let's go and grab one of these.
00:31:28How about you?
00:31:29Let's run it.
00:31:33What's the fun without a little skin in the game?
00:31:36Okay.
00:31:38Mr. Air.
00:31:39Alright.
00:31:40You call it.
00:31:40What are we betting on?
00:31:46Winner gets the kiss, Evelyn.
00:31:50What?
00:31:51Hey, you out of your goddamn mind that she's not some chip on a poker table.
00:31:55What's wrong?
00:31:56You nervous?
00:31:57I thought you said she was your girlfriend, right?
00:32:00What's the matter?
00:32:01Are you scared that you're not man enough to win your own girl's kiss?
00:32:06Vance, take the bet.
00:32:07We got you.
00:32:08Beat him.
00:32:09Beat him.
00:32:10Beat him.
00:32:11Beat him.
00:32:12Beat him.
00:32:13Beat him.
00:32:14Beat him.
00:32:15Beat him.
00:32:16Beat him.
00:32:16Beat him.
00:32:17Beat him.
00:32:18I'm sorry, but I don't agree to this.
00:32:21I'm not some prize.
00:32:23Is that so?
00:32:26Then I tell Vance the truth.
00:32:28That you're the slut you just trashed.
00:32:33Well, Vance, it looks like your girlfriend doesn't even believe in you.
00:32:36So, you know what?
00:32:37Just forget it.
00:32:39Yeah.
00:32:39Hey, I'm in.
00:32:40God.
00:32:42Besides, back on base.
00:32:44I used to live at the tables.
00:32:46Ran my unit's tourney.
00:32:48So I'm not losing to you.
00:32:49Oh yeah?
00:32:51Yeah, that's right.
00:33:10No way!
00:33:11He's running the rack!
00:33:13Holy shit, he just ran the game.
00:33:14That's the low old golden boy.
00:33:17I win.
00:33:17Yeah.
00:33:20Time to claim my prize.
00:33:37Alright, enough.
00:33:41Hey!
00:33:42Enough!
00:33:46I'm out of here.
00:33:47Evelyn, let's go.
00:33:50She's not.
00:33:52She's my prize.
00:33:53Come on, don't tell me you're a sore loser, Vance.
00:33:56I'm not a sore loser.
00:33:58If that was one kiss, you got what you wanted, cuz.
00:34:01Please.
00:34:02That was barely a warm up.
00:34:05He's my ass.
00:34:07Yeah, he's my son.
00:34:11I'm not a sore loser, Vance.
00:34:11My ex is a slut to you.
00:34:13Right?
00:34:14So what does that make, this woman, who just let me kiss her.
00:34:19Well...
00:34:19That makes her.
00:34:20Shut up!
00:34:21Don't you dare bring Evelyn down to the level of the ex who left you.
00:34:28Take a close look.
00:34:31She fits the same label.
00:34:33You fucking bastard.
00:34:43What are you doing?
00:34:45This is Lucian Lowell, CEO of the L&L Group.
00:34:48I've been assaulted at the Velvet Q.
00:34:50I'm bleeding.
00:34:51You've got one minute to send a squad car down to that door.
00:34:54Or I pull every dollar from the Lowell money from your pet foundations.
00:34:58No, Lucian, what? Stop! Are you crazy?
00:35:02Vance is your cousin!
00:35:03He just made the fire department and now you're gonna ruin him?
00:35:06He ruined me first!
00:35:09The moment you called the woman I love the slut, you ruined me.
00:35:13You dragged the woman I love through the mud.
00:35:16You don't just insult her, you burned down my love.
00:35:19You burned down everything I am.
00:35:22I was defending you, man.
00:35:24Who fucking cares?
00:35:27Right here! This one!
00:35:32No.
00:35:33I'll leave by my own.
00:35:37Classic.
00:35:39Vance!
00:35:40Lucian!
00:35:43Please don't do this to Vance!
00:35:49Evelyn?
00:35:50Bitch.
00:35:52Who's she chasing at?
00:35:53Lucian!
00:35:54Lucian?
00:35:57Lucian!
00:35:58Vance was just trying to stand up!
00:36:00Oh, I know exactly who he was standing up for.
00:36:03Of course it's you.
00:36:05His precious girlfriend.
00:36:08What about me, huh?
00:36:10I stood up for the woman I used to call a migrant woman.
00:36:14And suddenly I'm the asshole?
00:36:16You look at me and say,
00:36:18Is I wrong?
00:36:20Is I wrong to love you back then?
00:36:23I'm sorry.
00:36:25This is on me.
00:36:28It's my fault.
00:36:32You want me to let me help her up?
00:36:36Fine.
00:36:39Get in.
00:36:43Oh, you won't do it?
00:36:45Pass the bread that your whole girlfriend has to always do the same.
00:36:48Half hearted and just fed up.
00:36:50You can't even go all in.
00:36:51Don't come begging me to save your money.
00:37:00I'll do it!
00:37:06I'll go with you.
00:37:09Martine?
00:37:21LUE!
00:37:22No!
00:37:44The DNA report's done.
00:37:48What did you just say?
00:37:56If you keep your head down there any longer, I'd be real happy to take you right now in this
00:38:01car.
00:38:05Sorry, I just didn't want Laura to see us and get the wrong idea.
00:38:09She's still your fiancé, after all.
00:38:14Is that so?
00:38:20You know, I just helped you dodge a hell of a boy.
00:38:24How were you planning to thank me for that?
00:38:28I appreciate it.
00:38:30Really, Lucian.
00:38:36I don't run a charity, Evelyn.
00:38:39I do business.
00:38:40If I help you, you pay me back in something real.
00:38:46Same as when you were begging me to get pants off the hook.
00:38:52What do you want?
00:38:54What I want is...
00:39:19Strip.
00:39:20What?
00:39:21You want me to release Vance, right?
00:39:24Take all of your clothes off, and I won't press charges against him.
00:39:31Won't do it.
00:39:34Then get out of here.
00:39:40Fine.
00:39:41I'll do it.
00:39:45Never add an eye to my...
00:39:52So close I could almost...
00:39:58Always seems just out of reach.
00:40:02Always close, but never meet.
00:40:05When all I need to be is close to you
00:40:35How much do you love Vance that you would do all of this for him?
00:40:44Why did I do wrong for you to punish me like this?
00:40:49You broke up
00:40:51Years ago. I never agreed to it
00:40:55Breakup isn't a business contract. It doesn't require both parties to agree business
00:41:04Okay
00:41:06Let's talk about business
00:41:08Let's talk about what I'm owed
00:41:11Helping you hide from Laura in my car
00:41:14If you refuse, I'll call Laura right now and tell her exactly where you are
00:41:24Kiss me back
00:41:43Lucian open up. Oh my god, your dad's here
00:41:47Lucian open up. Oh my god, your dad's here
00:41:52What are you so afraid of?
00:41:57Exciting, isn't it?
00:41:59You're crazy
00:42:02Let me show you what crazy looks like
00:42:04I want you
00:42:07Right now
00:42:09Lucian, open up
00:42:15We can't, we can't do this
00:42:17Lucian
00:42:18Dammit
00:42:19Dad, it's late. What do you want?
00:42:21Have a drink with my son
00:42:23Open up
00:42:25It's late. I don't want a drink right now
00:42:27I just have to drink by myself
00:42:29Hey look, if you don't open the door
00:42:31I'm just gonna let myself in
00:42:38I can't
00:42:40I can't
00:42:41I can't
00:42:41Sorry
00:42:48Hey Dad
00:42:51You were right here
00:42:53Why didn't you just open up?
00:42:54I was just about to
00:42:56Come on
00:42:58Have a drink with your old man
00:43:09Dad, you don't show up this late just to crack a cold one
00:43:12What's going on?
00:43:13I heard Evelyn's out
00:43:17Look
00:43:18You still can't get over her
00:43:20Make her as your mistress
00:43:21You can give her a child
00:43:23I'll allow it
00:43:24But that child
00:43:25Belongs to the Lowell family
00:43:27Your future wife will raise it
00:43:37What was that?
00:43:38It's nothing
00:43:39Alright, you're hearing things
00:43:40Bullshit
00:43:41My hearing's perfect
00:43:43That sound gave me the bathroom
00:43:45Probably some thief
00:43:48Been a lot of break-ins here lately
00:43:50But Dad, don't
00:43:51Jeez
00:44:04Alright, since you've clearly seen it
00:44:05I might as well
00:44:16Thank God
00:44:17It's just the first floor
00:44:20She'd rather jump out a damn window
00:44:22Than stay in here with me
00:44:24How's that possible?
00:44:27I swear I heard something
00:44:31Maybe my ears really are going
00:44:33I'm not turning Evelyn into some mistress
00:44:36The only place she has in my life
00:44:37Is as my wife
00:44:38As far as the Lowell family goes
00:44:40L&L is big enough to go toe to toe with them
00:44:43If it comes down to it
00:44:45I'll fight
00:44:47Fight?
00:44:48Over one woman?
00:44:50You turn against your own family
00:44:52No!
00:44:53It's my own family turning against me
00:44:56Hello!
00:44:573.
00:44:571.
00:45:002.
00:45:063.
00:45:134.
00:45:135.
00:45:135.
00:45:206.
00:45:247.
00:45:258.
00:45:268.
00:45:27The wind, it blows in change
00:45:35Bring me calm
00:45:39Your shining light
00:45:42Will show us apart
00:45:48To fall
00:45:49Eric, mommy's home!
00:45:58What are you doing here?
00:46:00Eric, are you okay?
00:46:03Didn't mommy tell you not to open the door for strangers, honey?
00:46:06Can't believe this bitch, Evelyn, actually had Lucian's kid
00:46:09Good thing I was able to intercept the news
00:46:12And Lucian still has no idea
00:46:14Now it's time for me to get rid of this bitch
00:46:17Mommy, Auntie says she's your sister
00:46:20She showed me some pictures of you two together
00:46:22That's right, Evelyn
00:46:24I'm your sister, I'm not a stranger
00:46:26And when the DCFS initiates temporary guardianship
00:46:30I'm your next of kin to take custody of Eric
00:46:34No, I don't want you to be my guardian
00:46:37I want my mommy
00:46:38You're bad
00:46:39Go away!
00:46:41Hey, Eric
00:46:43Nobody's gonna take you away from mommy, okay?
00:46:50Can we talk?
00:46:52Hmm
00:46:59What exactly are you trying to pull here?
00:47:01You come at me directly
00:47:04Dear sister, why would I hurt Eric?
00:47:07You're the one with the violent stabbing history
00:47:11You could just lose control at any moment
00:47:18Evelyn!
00:47:19What are you doing?
00:47:20I was just stating the facts!
00:47:22What?
00:47:23Evelyn!
00:47:24Can you just stop it?
00:47:26What the hell are you doing?
00:47:30Listen
00:47:35Evelyn!
00:47:35What are you doing?
00:47:36I was just stating the facts!
00:47:39Evelyn!
00:47:39Evelyn!
00:47:40Can you just stop it?
00:47:41Evelyn!
00:47:42Do you think if I sent this to the DCFS that they would initiate temporary guardianship
00:47:48and grant me, your only sister, custody of your son?
00:47:52No, that's slander
00:47:53You're framing me!
00:47:55There's no way that they're gonna believe you
00:47:56Huh
00:47:57Oh yeah?
00:47:59You wanna test that theory?
00:48:01What's the DCFS hotline again?
00:48:03It's that one
00:48:04Stop!
00:48:05Stop!
00:48:10As long as you do not take Eric from me
00:48:14Whatever you want, I will do it
00:48:17See?
00:48:19It wasn't so hard, no was it?
00:48:22Leave Lucian's company
00:48:24Leave his life
00:48:25and never show your little face again
00:48:28Fine
00:48:30I'll resign
00:48:31tomorrow
00:48:33Stop
00:48:34What else do you want?
00:48:37Remember what you told me
00:48:40Don't test someone who's done time
00:48:42Where you come from
00:48:44People will kill each other over a pack of cigarettes
00:48:49Stop!
00:48:50Bitch!
00:48:52That's what you get for trying to threaten me
00:48:57I'm sorry
00:48:59Sorry?
00:49:02Oh!
00:49:03You really think sorry makes me feel better?
00:49:05Fuck!
00:49:07That's what you get for trying to scare me
00:49:10And that
00:49:11So you know who you're dealing with
00:49:19Enough!
00:49:22Hey
00:49:22You okay?
00:49:31You sure you're okay?
00:49:34I'm fine
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:38If you're pissed about what happened at the bar then hit me!
00:49:41I'm the one who swung on your little fiancé!
00:49:43But don't you dare treat her like a punching bag!
00:49:46No, she's not
00:49:47No, it was just a dumb bet between guys
00:49:49But I sure as hell wasn't gonna stand there and watch him put his mouth on her
00:49:54Lucian kissed Evelyn?
00:49:56Fucking over!
00:49:58Hey!
00:49:59I warned you, didn't I?
00:50:01Now I'm being nice
00:50:02But I won't be so nice next time
00:50:06You're a whore
00:50:08You remember what you promised me
00:50:11Don't look at her
00:50:17Don't look at her
00:50:18I got you
00:50:19You're okay?
00:50:20Yeah
00:50:24This is probably the worst timing but
00:50:28I'm gonna ask anyways
00:50:34Alice
00:50:35Will you be my girlfriend?
00:50:40Um
00:50:42Um
00:50:43If you mean just keep
00:50:46Pretending in front of Lucian so that he doesn't
00:50:48No
00:50:50I'm not talking about putting an act on for Lucian
00:50:55Dammit, I'm falling for you
00:50:57Shit, I fell for you the moment you knocked on my door three months ago
00:51:00And you're telling me you're my neighbor holding that fresh-baked tray of cookies
00:51:06At first I said, it's just cause you're fresh out the service
00:51:09And you haven't dated in so long, but
00:51:12No
00:51:12I mean, after tonight, I'm watching him kiss you
00:51:19I can't stand to see you in anyone else's arms
00:51:24I love you, Evelyn
00:51:25So
00:51:28Be my girlfriend
00:51:40Yeah?
00:51:42Will you be my girlfriend?
00:51:48Vance
00:51:52You're a really great guy
00:51:54But I can't lie to you
00:51:59I don't love you
00:52:03At least not
00:52:05Not in the way that you want me to
00:52:12I don't know
00:52:12First time I actually put myself out there for a girl
00:52:15And get shut down on the spot
00:52:18This one's for the history books
00:52:19No, really thank you so much for everything that you've done for me in the last few months
00:52:23But as for your cousin's company
00:52:26L&L group, I'm not going back there
00:52:28I'm gonna
00:52:30I'm gonna resign
00:52:31And if there's some kind of penalty in the contractor and whatever, I'm gonna pay it
00:52:35Hey, that's on me
00:52:40I'm the one who took that stupid bar bet
00:52:42If I didn't, he wouldn't have forced that kiss on you, so
00:52:46So yeah
00:52:48I don't blame you if you don't want to step foot in that place again
00:52:52And as far as the penalties, I
00:52:55I'll take care of it
00:53:00Thank you Vance
00:53:01Don't
00:53:02I'm the one who drug you into this mess
00:53:13Wait
00:53:14You're saying that kid isn't mine?
00:53:17It's just a leaf
00:53:30You don't recognize me, darling sister
00:53:36What are you trying to do?
00:53:40You
00:53:44How dare you hit me?
00:53:47I guess six years in jail wasn't enough to take you
00:53:51You little slut
00:53:53Don't act innocent, you're the one working in a strip club
00:53:56Let go of me
00:53:57Or what?
00:53:59My sister Laura is about to marry Lucian
00:54:02Lol, that means I gotta do whatever I want and he'll protect me
00:54:06So how about I give you a thousand dollars to fuck you?
00:54:10Just
00:54:12Bitch!
00:54:13You hit me
00:54:15Right through there
00:54:30Lucian
00:54:30This is my brother Bob
00:54:32Bob, what are you doing?
00:54:34Fighting with Evelyn
00:54:36This bitch actually kept her word and quit
00:54:38But who would have thought she's in the gentleman's club and ran into Lucian
00:54:41Just my luck
00:54:44Lucian, this waitress is my stepsister
00:54:47I was just teaching her a lesson
00:54:52We have no right to teach my assistant
00:54:55What?
00:54:55What?
00:54:56How could you let your fiancé hire her without telling him what kind of a person your stepsister really is?
00:55:03I really don't know my assistant very well, do I?
00:55:08Please enlighten me
00:55:10She's desperate for money to marry into wealth
00:55:14She snuck into my bed one night, tried to seduce me and when I refused she stabbed me
00:55:19She got sentenced to jail for six years
00:55:23Six years ago my lawyer asked her mother to testify for you to court
00:55:26But she refused
00:55:28Was she protecting your stepbrother?
00:55:32Yes
00:55:33She really loves my stepfather
00:55:36Good thing I don't
00:55:48Hit him
00:55:52I
00:55:54What are you waiting for?
00:55:55Hit him
00:55:56No I can't
00:55:57I can't do any more time for this scumbag
00:56:01From now on
00:56:02No one else is doing time without my say-so
00:56:05Oh
00:56:11Evelyn I have
00:56:13So sorry about Bob
00:56:15I don't know what he was thinking
00:56:17Bringing up the past like that
00:56:20You've already done your time
00:56:22Lucian and I were just here for our date
00:56:24We didn't know that we'd run into you
00:56:28We'll have the driver take you home
00:56:30No that's fine
00:56:33I can't leave
00:56:34I work here now
00:56:40I'll go try to change your mind
00:56:47Get out
00:56:54What the heck? What's going on?
00:56:56Why is he protecting her?
00:56:58Does he still love her?
00:57:00Because if he does how are you going to become Mrs. Lowell
00:57:03And how are you going to pay off my gambling debt?
00:57:05Don't rush
00:57:06Love doesn't matter in a wealthy marriage
00:57:09But a clean background does
00:57:10The Lowells will never let somebody with a criminal record
00:57:14Marry their one and only heir
00:57:17The Lowells might care but Lucian won't
00:57:20That's why I need one more thing from you
00:57:22What?
00:57:23Well
00:57:25I need Lucian to get you having sex with Evelyn in public
00:57:29With his very own eyes
00:57:32I am going to completely destroy her
00:57:36Are you insane?
00:57:38That is going to ruin me too
00:57:40I'm your brother
00:57:42Or you get fed to the Lowell Sharks
00:57:45Your choice
00:58:03Lucian, I'm so sorry
00:58:04She just...
00:58:05She won't have it
00:58:07I mean, she said that one night here pays more than a month as your secretary
00:58:13Funny
00:58:15I'll go see for myself
00:58:16How much a little cocktail waitress makes in one night
00:58:23My stepsister is working here
00:58:25And Lucian is just really upset about it
00:58:29Do you think you could help me convince her to leave?
00:58:32Of course
00:58:34You can't have Mrs. Lewis's sister working in a place like this
00:58:39I already left your family
00:58:41And Lucian's company
00:58:43So why can't you just let me go?
00:58:47Because
00:58:48Your existence is getting in the way
00:58:50Of our fortune
00:58:54I just saw Evelyn go in here
00:59:05I have waited a long time for Lucian to see just how much of a slut you raised me off
00:59:14Evelyn, open up
00:59:19If I smash this into his head
00:59:20Will I go to jail?
00:59:23Will I lose Eric?
00:59:50Look at that fine body
00:59:53I call the next dance.
00:59:55That's Laura's stepsister. I don't think we're gonna be able to talk her way onto this one.
00:59:59Better call the family's pee, aren't I?
01:00:01Oh, Evelyn! Why wouldn't you just leave when I asked you to?
01:00:06Evelyn, Lucian doesn't care about prison, but he definitely cares if you've slept with other men.
01:00:12He won't ever want you back after this.
01:00:15This is Lucian Low. I'd like to report a crime.
01:00:18Someone's trying to assault my assistant.
01:00:28It was her.
01:00:32Get out of the way!
01:00:35Mom, will you?
01:00:42Be good. I will greet the doctor.
01:00:50Can I sleep with you?
01:00:52Please.
01:00:54I'll pay you.
01:00:58Amy.
01:00:59Very expensive.
01:01:02Can you afford me?
01:01:06Fuck.
01:01:08What?
01:01:21Hey, hey, listen.
01:01:23You've been drugged.
01:01:24I will get a doctor.
01:01:27I feel great.
01:01:35I'm scared.
01:01:38Don't look at me.
01:01:42You've been drugged.
01:01:46I'll be.
01:01:47You're over.
01:01:49You're over.
01:01:51You're over.
01:01:52You're over.
01:01:52You're over.
01:01:53You're over.
01:01:54I feel it's a challenge.
01:01:55Really?
01:01:55Everyone's trying to learn them all at the time,
01:01:55I don't care about anything that came before me.
01:02:00I don't care about anyone who is at the same time before me.
01:02:03All of you.
01:02:42This was a mistake.
01:02:45You can't let it turn into something bigger.
01:02:48What are you doing?
01:02:54I'm just...
01:02:58I'm waiting for the bus to take me home.
01:03:02Plan B?
01:03:06You really don't want a child with me, do you?
01:03:08You'd rather have one with some random convict in jail than risk having a kid with me?
01:03:16I shouldn't have your child.
01:03:18You shouldn't have my child?
01:03:21Then whose child should you have, huh?
01:03:23Vances?
01:03:24You really got around these last six years in jail, didn't you?
01:03:27I mean, do you even know whose kid that is?
01:03:31Don't you dare insult my child.
01:03:36Insult?
01:03:38The biggest insult to that child is having a mother's mother.
01:03:45We will never allow a Lowell heir to have a criminal for a mother.
01:03:49That would be a stain on the child and a family name.
01:03:56I'm innocent.
01:03:59If Vance knew your past, would you really think he'd accept you?
01:04:04Yeah, I would.
01:04:07I don't think I know her past.
01:04:09I knew she did, Tom, the moment she stepped on my doorstep.
01:04:12Always talking cautious, fidgeting, checking her pockets, even though she didn't even have any.
01:04:17I mean, not that matters to me.
01:04:21You know what's important?
01:04:22It's your amazing mother.
01:04:25It's your kind and beautiful inside and out.
01:04:28Vance, I...
01:04:29Look, I'm not here to confess my love again.
01:04:33Come on, Evelyn.
01:04:35Let's go home.
01:04:37Eric is worried about you.
01:04:42Okay.
01:04:44You'd best stay away from everything else.
01:04:47For your own good.
01:04:50For my own good, huh?
01:04:51Yeah.
01:04:53Is it for my own good or is it for feelings that you just can't admit to yourself?
01:04:58Excuse me.
01:04:59You heard me.
01:05:00You think I'm blind?
01:05:02I know what's going on here.
01:05:03You've been hostile to Evelyn for the jump.
01:05:07And I know why.
01:05:08It's because she did time, just like your ex who ghosted you, and you're taking out on her unfairly.
01:05:13Taking it out on her?
01:05:15Yeah.
01:05:16You think you know all her past?
01:05:19Idiot.
01:05:21Cheese.
01:05:21Ow!
01:05:22Oh, hey.
01:05:23You all right?
01:05:24Um, I think that I might have twisted my ankle.
01:05:26Can you take me home now?
01:05:28Yeah.
01:05:28Let's go.
01:05:33You're mine, Evelyn.
01:05:35That's safe.
01:05:38Please, sir.
01:05:41Help me save this child.
01:05:43He got hit.
01:05:45Saving my dog.
01:05:46He has to get to a hospital.
01:05:48Please.
01:05:50This kid.
01:05:54This kid is driving a wedge between me and Evelyn.
01:05:57But my instinct still kicked in, and I took him to surgery.
01:06:06The patient is bleeding out.
01:06:07He needs a blood transfusion immediately.
01:06:09But we don't have enough RH negative blood.
01:06:11He needs a donor.
01:06:12Doctor, I'm RH negative.
01:06:15I can do it.
01:06:16Very well.
01:06:17Get him ripped.
01:06:18Come with me.
01:06:23Doctor, I'm Eric's mother.
01:06:24Is he okay?
01:06:25He needs an urgent blood transfusion.
01:06:27We'll already seek an RH negative donor.
01:06:31RH negative.
01:06:33My cousin's RH negative.
01:06:35I'll just give him a call.
01:06:36He's not going to let Eric die.
01:06:37No, no, no.
01:06:37No, you can't.
01:06:38I know you don't like Lucian.
01:06:40Your son's life is on the line.
01:06:42Let's just put that aside for you.
01:06:43It's precisely for Eric's life that I cannot let Lucian do this.
01:06:47Why not?
01:06:49Because.
01:06:49Because what?
01:06:50Tell me.
01:06:52Because he is Eric's father.
01:06:55What?
01:06:56What?
01:06:5799.7% match.
01:06:59Transfusion is not recommended.
01:07:01What does this mean?
01:07:02The patient's immunity is low.
01:07:04Blood from a close relative could be rejected or cause complications.
01:07:08As the child's father, you cannot donate.
01:07:13Father?
01:07:15Me.
01:07:17I'm that child's father.
01:07:18Sir, you brought him here yourself and didn't realize he was your child?
01:07:23I.
01:07:26I didn't know.
01:07:36Lisa, put out a public call for RH negative blood donors.
01:07:40Offer $100,000.
01:07:42Actually, offer a million dollars.
01:07:50Everyone, you lied to me.
01:07:52How could you?
01:07:55My son.
01:07:58I have a son.
01:08:01How are you going to explain this?
01:08:09This is crazy.
01:08:10I have to call him.
01:08:12No, you cannot tell Lucian.
01:08:14No, you cannot tell Lucian.
01:08:17Eric is his son.
01:08:21I'm Lucian's ex-girlfriend.
01:08:23What?
01:08:25The taboo topic in the Lowell family.
01:08:29Makes perfect sense.
01:08:32I wonder why he acted all weird when he started showing up.
01:08:35Why he made that bet.
01:08:37So you're the one that broke his heart and soul.
01:08:39But why?
01:08:40Why keep it a secret?
01:08:42Why have him hate you?
01:08:45Because his father, Robert Lowell, told me that my criminal record was a stain on the Lowell family.
01:08:52And that if I were to have Lucian's child, that child would be taken away from me and raised by
01:08:56them.
01:08:57And I would rather that Lucian hate me than have Eric taken away from me.
01:09:03So please just don't tell him.
01:09:06I'm begging you.
01:09:08I won't.
01:09:09I understand.
01:09:20Lucian, how long were you standing there?
01:09:23Long enough to hear everything.
01:09:25I heard that Eric is my son.
01:09:28And that you're trying to deprive me of my rights as his father.
01:09:34I've got some nerve, by the way.
01:09:36I didn't have a choice.
01:09:39I can't lose Eric.
01:09:41He's my entire world.
01:09:43What about me?
01:09:44Am I disposable?
01:09:46You have your mother.
01:09:48You have your father.
01:09:49You have your family.
01:09:50All I have is Eric.
01:09:53Eric, I can't lose him.
01:09:56You've got me.
01:09:58You'll always have me.
01:10:00All right?
01:10:01Trust me.
01:10:02I'll protect you.
01:10:05No one has taken Eric from you.
01:10:07Not my father.
01:10:08Not anyone else from my family, okay?
01:10:14What about if your father or your family tries to take Eric?
01:10:19Are you going to stand up in court?
01:10:21If you do, the entire world is going to know that Eric's mother is a criminal.
01:10:27He's going to be ridiculed.
01:10:29I can't.
01:10:30I don't want that.
01:10:34I just want him to grow up in peace.
01:10:38I don't want him to be bullied because of me.
01:10:42I know it's so selfish, but I cannot lose him.
01:10:47I can't.
01:10:52Please.
01:10:53Leave us.
01:10:55Leave Eric.
01:10:56Don't stand up to the rules.
01:11:01Just don't drag us into this mess, please.
01:11:07Okay.
01:11:10I'll do what I'm saying.
01:11:13I'll leave you.
01:11:15Leave Eric.
01:11:16I'll marry someone else.
01:11:18I don't know.
01:11:59Who asked you to afford my paternity test results?
01:12:03Tell me now or I'll kill you.
01:12:04It was Laura, your fiancée.
01:12:06She paid me $2 billion and asked me to notify her of the results.
01:12:12She really is something.
01:12:14Before you take the stand, you better stay somewhere safe.
01:12:18Whoa!
01:12:19Guards!
01:12:20Take them.
01:12:34Lucian, I heard you had Laura's brother sent to jail.
01:12:38Yes.
01:12:40We're already formally engaged to the Langley's.
01:12:43You're going to marry Laura in a month.
01:12:45I hope you can withdraw your lawsuit to avoid tarnishing our image.
01:12:49Why didn't you ask the Langley family to drop Evelyn's charges six years ago?
01:12:53That was entirely different.
01:12:55That matter had been settled on.
01:12:57Is that so?
01:12:58Do you really think I'm better off marrying someone like Laura or Revelyn?
01:13:03At least Laura hasn't been to jail.
01:13:08Okay.
01:13:10I'll marry Laura next month.
01:13:13But on one condition.
01:13:15That she can bear me a child.
01:13:23Dear father, even though Laura's never been to jail, you'll see how easily she can destroy
01:13:30your precious family order.
01:13:34Really?
01:13:35Really, Mr. Lowell, did Lucian really agree to marry me next month?
01:13:41Of course I can produce a Lowell heir.
01:13:45Did you hear that, Mom?
01:13:47I am going to marry Lucian by the end of next month.
01:13:50Yeah.
01:13:51I also heard you promise the Lowell family an heir.
01:13:56Aren't you infertile?
01:13:57How are you going to do that?
01:13:58Maybe I can't give birth, but I have another child in mind.
01:14:07Are you serious?
01:14:09Lucian will kill me if I do.
01:14:11No, he won't.
01:14:12Besides, once I get custody of the Lowell heir, it won't matter who the biological mother is
01:14:19because I'll be the legal mother of the Lowell heir.
01:14:23And if they got you out of jail this time, definitely do it again.
01:14:26Just to protect their name.
01:14:28Plus, on side of my Lucian, I can help you clear all of your gifts and debts.
01:14:35Deal.
01:14:38Okay, honey.
01:14:39So, Mom has to go to work, and Uncle Vance is going to take you to school, and then Mommy's
01:14:42going to pick you up and get you ice cream, all right?
01:14:44Okay, Mommy.
01:14:48Vance, thank you so much for helping out with him, really.
01:14:51I don't know what I would do without you.
01:14:54I'm happy to help.
01:14:58All right, bud.
01:14:59Time to go to school.
01:15:00Say goodbye to Mommy.
01:15:01Bye-bye, Mommy.
01:15:02Bye-bye.
01:15:04Bye, have fun.
01:15:09What?
01:15:10Woo!
01:15:10Woo!
01:15:13Evelyn?
01:15:17Eric, your mother has been missing for 24 hours.
01:15:21Okay, so for your safety, we're going to have you stay with your Auntie Laura.
01:15:24She'll be your temporary guardian until we find your mother.
01:15:28Uncle Vance, save me!
01:15:29Mommy isn't missing!
01:15:31She was taken by the bad guys!
01:15:32Okay, bye.
01:15:34Let's go.
01:15:34Vance, you should know that Eric's aunt is the best candidate for temporary guardianship.
01:15:40I know, but...
01:15:42If nobody has any objections, I'll take the kid.
01:15:45Give me your hand, bud.
01:15:49Eric!
01:15:50Eric!
01:15:51No!
01:15:54Don't worry.
01:15:56I'll take good care of you.
01:16:10Guys, look, I'm going to give you this chance.
01:16:12Evelyn's been kidnapped.
01:16:13I know.
01:16:14I've already tracked down the kidnap.
01:16:15I know you love her.
01:16:17I can't be with you.
01:16:18Let me correct you.
01:16:19She loves me, too.
01:16:21Enough drinking.
01:16:22If you lose her, we'll be shark bait.
01:16:23Oh, don't worry.
01:16:24In a place like this, she can't run off.
01:16:27Drink.
01:16:28Drink up.
01:16:29Ah!
01:16:45Lucian!
01:16:47Shh!
01:16:49The goddamn insider passed out.
01:16:52They'll come to you in a minute.
01:16:53Listen to me now.
01:16:55Do you know who kidnapped you?
01:16:56No.
01:16:58It was Bob.
01:17:01I overheard him instructing them.
01:17:03Do you know why you kidnapped you?
01:17:06I guess my presence is just an eyesore to them or something.
01:17:11No.
01:17:12They want to take what you treasure most.
01:17:14Laura isn't able to have children alone.
01:17:17So, she wants to take yours.
01:17:20No, she can't!
01:17:25Do you trust me?
01:17:31Next, I need you to answer these questions truthfully.
01:17:35Is Eric my son?
01:17:41Evie, I need you to tell me the truth so I can help you.
01:17:44Is Eric my son?
01:17:48Yes.
01:17:50Bob was the one who put you in jail six years ago, wasn't he?
01:17:55Bob was the one who put you in jail six years ago.
01:17:58Do you love me?
01:18:00Yes.
01:18:06I knew it.
01:18:07I knew you loved me.
01:18:17Okay.
01:18:18I have a plan to stop Laura from making Eric.
01:18:20I need you to be brave.
01:18:22Yeah, I'll do it.
01:18:24I'll do anything for Eric.
01:18:25Listen.
01:18:27You have to.
01:18:41Laura?
01:18:42You're the one who kidnapped me?
01:18:44Why?
01:18:46Oh.
01:18:47Let me count the reasons.
01:18:49Hey.
01:18:50You like my dress?
01:18:53You designed it six years ago for your wedding with Lucien.
01:18:57And now it's mine.
01:18:58Oh, look at this.
01:19:01Mommy, is he missing?
01:19:03She was saved by the bad guy.
01:19:05What did you do to my son?
01:19:07Give me back my son.
01:19:09Evelyn, your son is fine.
01:19:11Well, he's my son now, actually.
01:19:14He is the Lowell heir, after all.
01:19:17Oh, and look.
01:19:25It's your favorite church, Evelyn.
01:19:27I remember hearing you tell Lucien that you wanted to get married there.
01:19:31And now it's mine.
01:19:37Wait.
01:19:38You overheard.
01:19:40Six years ago, our relationship was a secret.
01:19:43So how did you know, Laura?
01:19:45Oh.
01:19:47Now you're right.
01:19:48I accidentally walked by one of your dates.
01:19:52Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that a broke bitch like you could actually be with the Lowell heir.
01:20:00So you've been in love with Lucien this entire time?
01:20:03No.
01:20:03No, not so much Lucien as I am in love with the powerful Lowell family.
01:20:08Their kind of wealth is something that my family would never be able to obtain on their own.
01:20:13And I want the best life for myself.
01:20:18Do you know why you went to jail six years ago, Evelyn?
01:20:22It's because you were the one thing in my life that was keeping me from my best life.
01:20:30So when Bob set me up six years ago, that was your idea?
01:20:35Well, of course.
01:20:36Bob's a moron, but at least he's useful.
01:20:39So he helped me put you in jail six years ago, and today he's going to take the fall for
01:20:43your murder.
01:20:45Are you insane?
01:20:46You've gone too far, Laura.
01:20:47That's your brother.
01:20:49Too far?
01:20:51Everybody has the right to pursue their own happiness, right?
01:20:55Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the bride.
01:21:03Watch closely, my dear sister, while I marry the man that you so love.
01:21:10You're going to pay for this, Laura.
01:21:13Pay what?
01:21:13The price for being a part of the wealthiest family?
01:21:18Oh, oh, and I almost forgot.
01:21:21So when that door closes, all of the oxygen in here will cease.
01:21:25So you have about two hours to survive, give or take.
01:21:29And while that happens, you get to watch while I marry the shin.
01:21:33Laura, I'm going to take your man and your child.
01:21:38I guess what?
01:21:39Spoiler.
01:21:41Bob's the killer.
01:21:42Laura.
01:21:43Laura.
01:21:45Laura!
01:21:48Where is the bride?
01:21:51So when Bob set me up six years ago, that was your idea?
01:21:55What is that sound?
01:21:56Well, of course.
01:21:58Bob's a moron, but at least he's useful.
01:22:01Oh, my goodness.
01:22:02Is that Evelyn Langley, the missing girl?
01:22:05What does she do there?
01:22:09You peasants.
01:22:11Never seen such a luxurious life.
01:22:14I guess what?
01:22:15Spoiler.
01:22:16Bob's the killer.
01:22:18Turn it off.
01:22:20Turn it off!
01:22:25Lucy, this is all just a big misunderstanding.
01:22:30Let's please continue with the wedding.
01:22:41Evelyn.
01:22:50I'm sorry.
01:22:53I regret everything.
01:22:55I thought that I could let you go.
01:22:57And then I could just wish you well.
01:22:59But I can't watch you marry another woman.
01:23:02Because you're mine.
01:23:03And you can only marry me.
01:23:06Because I love you.
01:23:07I love you so much.
01:23:10I know.
01:23:12Good girl.
01:23:13You did great.
01:23:16You did great.
01:23:22You did great.
01:23:24you did great.
01:23:35Bye.
01:23:36Bye.
01:23:36Bye.
01:23:37Bye.
01:23:40Bye.
01:23:41Bye.
01:23:44Bye.
01:23:44Parker.
01:23:44Vance, get the footage from the storeroom,
01:23:47then use it to sue Laura for framed Eveline six years ago.
01:23:50No, no, no.
01:23:51And for kidnapping and attempted murder.
01:23:55Evelyn, we were just joking. I was just joking.
01:23:58You have to believe me, Lucian.
01:24:00We were just playing hide-and-go-seek.
01:24:03Evelyn?
01:24:06Save it for the jury, Laura.
01:24:10Bob!
01:24:11My brother!
01:24:12You can convince Lucian that I was just kidding.
01:24:16Right, Bob?
01:24:18I'm just a moron.
01:24:19Remember?
01:24:20Your scapegoat for murder?
01:24:24Robert!
01:24:26You once said that I was the perfect match for Lucian.
01:24:31The Lowell family does not need a rich daughter-in-law,
01:24:34but a clean record.
01:24:36You framed your stepsister that had her sent to prison for six years
01:24:40just to steal her fiancé.
01:24:42Then, you kidnapped her and tried to murder her.
01:24:46It was broadcast worldwide.
01:24:48You're going away for a long time.
01:24:52No, no, no!
01:24:54No, no, no!
01:25:02I love you.
01:25:04I love you so much.
01:25:06I love you so much.
01:25:17You don't.
01:25:19I love you.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:29You don't.
01:25:31But I don't.
