16:25so you're absolutely certain
16:27you're standing here
16:29in front of everyone
16:30claiming Emily is yours
16:32I knew there would be questions

16:37Joshua will be back with the results any second now
16:41you actually went through with a DNA test?
16:45of course I did

16:54no
16:55no
16:56this can't be right
16:57what the hell is this?
16:59I've always known Emily was mine
17:02from the moment she could walk

17:07blood always knows blood
17:09oh my god

17:52look me in the eye
17:54are you really that sure Emily is yours?
17:58sure
17:58I'm the one who switched them
18:00I don't need some lab report to tell me what I already know
18:03you keep acting like Emily doesn't belong to me
18:07why?
18:09because Anna wasn't good enough for you?
18:12hear that?
18:14even your real parents don't want you
18:16you were born
18:18disposable
18:18enough
18:19I never look down on Anna
18:21never
18:22this circus helps no one
18:23the DNA results aren't even here yet
18:25and all you're doing is tearing two children apart
18:28I understand
18:30letting go
18:31hurts
18:32you look at Anna and don't see the daughter you imagined
18:36but Emily
18:37she's mine
18:39I'm just taking back what is mine
18:41don't listen to her Melanie
18:42we raised Emily
18:44every scraped knee
18:46every sleepless night
18:48that doesn't vanish because of a lie and a piece of paper
18:51we all saw it
18:53your heart
18:54your time
18:55everything
18:59everything Emily is
19:00that's because of you
19:01you don't just hand her over to someone like that
19:05Joshua
19:06you're back
19:07where is it?
19:08give me the report
19:09Sharon Shaw
19:10what if it doesn't say what you think it does?
19:12Emily is mine

19:15let science shut you up
19:17Joshua
19:18show them the report
19:25Emily
19:26you are my real daughter
19:28you have always been mine
19:33this can't be right
19:35what the hell is this?
19:41Emily's not Sharon's daughter?
19:43then the switch never happened
19:45our whole plan
19:47gone
19:49look at it
19:51read it again
19:52you can deny it all you want
19:54Emily is mine
19:55so do the right thing
19:57give me back
19:58my daughter
20:00are you out of your damn mind?
20:01that's not how this works
20:03that's not how families work
20:05why not?
20:06I know you've grown attached
20:08but biology doesn't care about feelings
20:11I lost 18 years
20:14years
20:15I can never get back
20:16and all I want
20:18is to make it right
20:20Mrs. Astor
20:21my brother-in-law died working for you
20:23you swore you'd protect my sister and her child
20:27now she's standing here asking for her daughter back
20:30what's so unforgivable about that?
20:33Melanie
20:35you're a mother
20:37you know how deep a mother's love cuts
20:41how it refuses to let go
20:44exactly
20:45that's why I will never hand my daughter over to someone like you
20:49because this test
20:50is a lie
20:52it's fake
20:55fake?
20:56what are you even saying right now?
20:58that's exactly what I'm saying
21:00you really thought you could rip her out of our lives
21:02with a forged piece of paper?
21:04yes
21:04yes
21:05that report has to be fake
21:06Sharon
21:07you didn't honestly think you could fool us with a cheat
21:10why?
21:11did you?
21:11how the hell did that bitch figure it out?
21:13doesn't matter
21:14fake or not
21:15it has to be real now
21:16that's ridiculous
21:18how dare you accuse us of fabricating a DNA report
21:21this is insane
21:22what proof do you have that it's fake?
21:24don't you dare accuse my brother of fraud
21:27he wouldn't risk prison over something like this
21:30exactly
21:31everyone suddenly wants Emily now
21:33but Anna?
21:34Anna is the child my sister raised for 18 years
21:37you think we'd just throw her away unless we were certain she wasn't ours?
21:42raised her?
21:42that's what you call raising a child?
21:45I've seen you strike her
21:46your discipline is a nightmare
21:48and that's not even mentioning the nights you locked her away
21:51starved her and treated her like she wasn't even human
21:54I was strict because I cared
21:56discipline is love
21:58everything I did was for her own good
22:00that's enough
22:01if that test is real
22:03a second one will prove it
22:04yours was done in private
22:06behind closed doors
22:07so let's do another one
22:08right here
22:09right now
22:10in front of everyone
22:11what do you say Sharon Shaw?
22:13are you brave enough?
22:15fine
22:15run it once
22:16run it a hundred times
22:18it won't change a thing
22:19Emily is still mine
22:22perfect
22:23then let's go to the hospital
22:24right now
22:25no
22:27I object
22:28I don't agree with this
22:30what's wrong Joshua?
22:31because right now
22:32you look guilty as hell
22:34no
22:34I'm thinking about the girls
22:36another test
22:37it might be too much for them
22:39you know
22:39emotionally
22:41that's surprisingly considerate
22:43I didn't realize you still had a beating heart in there
22:46look Melanie
22:47if you want to drag Anna through this circus again fine
22:50but think about Emily
22:52she's been put through enough already
22:54look
22:55even if the truth is
22:57complicated
22:57the girls don't have to go anywhere
22:59they can stay with you
23:01same house
23:02same life
23:03nothing has to change
23:04and we're just supposed to pretend none of this ever happened
23:07how exactly do you imagine that working Joshua?
23:10well I understand now
23:12you are embarrassed
23:14terrified that Anna might actually be your daughter
23:17why wouldn't we be?
23:19I don't care whose blood Emily carries
23:22she's the one we raised
23:24the one we invested our lives in
23:26she's brilliant
23:27driven
23:27going somewhere
23:29and Anna
23:29look at her
23:30look at what you turned her into
23:34maybe I wasn't perfect
23:36maybe
23:36I made mistakes
23:38but all I want
23:40is to hear my real daughter call me
23:44mom
23:45is that really too much to ask?
23:48oh spare us the performance
23:49if this was really about reuniting with your daughter
23:52you'd have done it quietly
23:53privately
23:53so why today?
23:55why on Emily's birthday?
23:56you stormed and waving that DNA test like a trophy
23:59looks to me like
24:00she just wants a piece of Emily's success
24:04that's why Anna was so easy to throw away
24:07honestly who celebrates a baby switch like they've won the lottery?
24:10that's twisted
24:11so tell me Sharon
24:12is being Emily's mother your endgame?
24:14is that all this has ever been about?
24:22I honestly don't know what you're implying
24:26Melanie
24:27I don't trust her for a second
24:30none of this smells right
24:31hey
24:32watch your mouth
24:33this has nothing to do with you
24:35oh
24:35now
24:36you're trying to silence us too?
24:38real convincing
24:39Melanie
24:40I know I failed Anna
24:42I know I didn't give her the life she deserved
24:45but none of that happened
24:46that changes the truth
24:47she is your biological daughter
24:50if you could accept her maybe
24:52just maybe
24:53her life could finally improve
24:56oh spare me
24:57is that what this is supposed to be about now?
25:00saving Anna?
25:01or is this just a convenient way to steal our daughter
25:04and sneak your hands into Melanie's company?
25:06careful
25:06that's a serious accusation
25:08borderline felony talk
25:10nobody planned this
25:12nobody wanted a baby switch
25:14Melanie
25:15we were best friends
25:17my husband died
25:18thriving for you
25:19Anna and I worked for you for 18 years without complaint
25:24how could you even think I'd betray you like this?
25:27after my brother-in-law died
25:29I stepped up
25:30I drove for your family day in day out for years
25:35doesn't that earn any trust at all?
25:37I swear to you Melanie
25:38even if she's my biological daughter
25:40I'll never let her forget what you've done for her
25:44she'll never forget
25:46please
25:47the first thing I'd do is push you right out of that company
25:50Melanie
25:51you're finished
25:52so all of this
25:54this spectacle
25:56is really just about switching the girls back?
25:59this isn't easy for me either
26:01what choice do we have?
26:03I lost my husband
26:05I lost 18 years with Emily
26:07I can't lose another second
26:11you're my best friend Melanie
26:12all I'm asking for is the rest of my life with my real
26:16daughter
26:17please
26:19don't take that from me
26:20alright
26:21then let's switch them back
26:22what?
26:23have you completely lost your mind?
26:28what?
26:28have you completely lost your mind?
26:31maybe
26:32maybe they're not wrong
26:33if the babies really were switched at birth
26:35maybe they should be returned to where they belong
26:37you've gotta be kidding me
26:39you're seriously gonna hand our daughter to a manipulative psychopath
26:43because of one shady DNA report?
26:46of course not
26:47Melanie
26:48oh I knew you'd see reason
26:49don't worry I'll raise Emily properly
26:53no
26:54I am her father
26:56I won't discard my child because of a lab printout
26:59Mr. Astor
27:00your wife has already agreed
27:02and DNA doesn't lie
27:04so whether you like it or not
27:07this is happening
27:07and Mrs. Astor
27:09you've already transferred your shares to Emily
27:11you're not planning to undo that now
27:13are you?
27:14no the paperwork is complete
27:15Emily is now the largest shareholder of Astor Group
27:18she's my successor
27:19that's wonderful
27:20I knew it
27:23this was never about the children
27:24this was always about the company
27:27and what exactly are you going to do about it?
27:29Emily runs Astor Group now
27:31and lucky for us
27:32she's family
27:34Mr. Astor
27:35sorry
27:36Andrew
27:36got a problem with that?
27:38don't get too comfortable

27:42as long as I don't consent
27:44no one is taking her anywhere
27:47oh Andrew
27:48why are you being so dramatic?
27:50the DNA report clearly proves Emily is my daughter
27:52we can sue
27:55right now we're merely extending you a courtesy
27:58don't go too far

28:47you raised my daughter for 18 years
28:50it's only fair I return the favor

29:09call her mom
29:10stop it
29:11even if Anna isn't your biological daughter
29:13you've been her mother for 18 years
29:16don't you feel any guilt humiliating her like this?
29:19Melanie Astor
29:21that broken little thing is yours now
29:23a shattered puppet
29:25and you'll spend the rest of your life wishing you never had her
29:29Melanie
29:30if you care that much
29:31why don't you just take her?
29:33you people are monsters
29:35Melanie
29:36are you really gonna stand there and let them rip apart our family and our company?
29:40you're smarter than this
29:41don't let them play you
29:42whatever happens
29:43do not hand Emily over to them
29:45everyone
29:45enough
29:46calm down
29:47Sharon and Joshua aren't lying
29:48Emily and Anna were switched at birth
29:51I know
29:52because I saw it happen
29:54what?
29:56you saw it?
29:57with your own eyes?
29:59you saw it?
30:00or were you delirious with pain?
30:02hallucinating like a mad woman
30:04I was delirious
30:05but I wasn't blind
30:06I watched you and Joshua switch my baby with your own hands
30:11knowingly swapping newborns as a felony
30:13so tell me Sharon Shaw
30:15if I turn you both in right now
30:17what do you think happens to this little scheme of yours?
30:19you're bluffing?
30:20why would I ever switch my daughter with yours?
30:24that's insane
30:24no
30:25what's insane is your hatred for me
30:27you hated that I became CEO while you stayed my secretary
30:31watching me win
30:32so you struck where it hurt most
30:34you tortured the child you thought was mine
30:37every bruise
30:38every humiliation
30:39every time you made her beg
30:40and you made sure I saw it
30:42tell me I'm wrong
30:44you
30:44you saw all that?
30:47how do you even know what you saw was real?
30:50Melanie
30:50are you out of your damn mind?
30:52you knew for years
30:54and you just stood there while that bitch
30:56tortured our daughter for 18 years?
30:59I thought what she was a devote mother
31:01turns out she's a full-blown sociopath
31:03you saw us switch the babies
31:05and did nothing?
31:07let it happen
31:08maybe you wanted Anna gone
31:10maybe you were ashamed of her
31:11maybe this was all you're doing
31:13listen to yourself
31:14the truth just slipped right out
31:16no
31:17I wanted to see how far you'd go
31:20I wanted to see what kind of monster you really were
31:23so what?
31:24this was some kind of twisted experiment?
31:27you let her abuse our daughter for 18 years just to prove a point?
31:31Melanie?
31:32or
31:33are you my mom?
31:34Anna
31:34just
31:35breathe okay?
31:37it's not what you think
31:38just
31:39stop
31:39what?
31:40why did I have to suffer?
31:42just for your stupid grudge?
31:46why did I have to suffer?
31:49just for your stupid grudge?
31:52I
31:53I
31:53I called you mom for years
31:57but you're not my mother
32:00so what about me?
32:01what about every humiliation?
32:04every abuse?
32:06every night I cried myself to sleep
32:09unbelievable
32:09unbelievable
32:10I never imagined you could be this cold Melanie
32:13you stood by while your own daughter was tortured for 18 years
32:19honestly Anna I almost pity you now
32:22you've been hating the wrong woman this whole time
32:24no
32:26I hate you
32:28you broke me for your sick twisted revenge
32:32oh
32:33don't be dramatic
32:34be grateful
32:35I could have also beaten you to death but I didn't
32:38look how obedient you turned out
32:40why?
32:42was I punished just because I wasn't born to you?
32:47you had to destroy me to prove something?
32:51exactly
32:51because you are Melanie's daughter
32:53every time I saw your face I felt disgusted
32:57you hated me that much?
32:59enough to steal my child
33:00and torment her?
33:02yes
33:02because you had everything
33:05and I lived in your shadow
33:07so I made your daughter suffer
33:09and then I'd look at my Emily
33:13smart
33:14strong
33:15beautiful
33:15while your daughter flinched at every sound
33:19mom
33:20is what she's saying true?
33:22Melanie
33:24you watched our own daughter get crushed for 18 years
33:27and you said nothing
33:28what kind of mother does that make you?
33:30if you hated Sharon so much
33:32why didn't you go after her?
33:34why did you just stand there and let me be destroyed?
33:41you've broken my heart
33:43Emily
33:44why?
33:45why does everyone choose?
33:48Emily
33:48why did she get everything?
33:51every year
33:51Chanel
33:53ramparties
33:54cakes taller than me
33:55and I
33:56got locked in rooms
33:57starved
33:58until I passed out
33:59we were born on the same day
34:02so tell me
34:02what crime did I commit to deserve this?
34:05you
34:05what makes you think you're even allowed to compare yourself to my
34:09daughter?
34:10I prayed for the day you and your precious mother would rot in hell together
34:14you really surpassed yourself Sharon
34:16don't play innocent now
34:18Emily is disciplined
34:20composed
34:21obedient
34:22if it weren't for the company
34:24do you really think I'd have left her with you all these years?
34:27enough
34:28Anna and I are not your dolls to rearrange
34:31did any of you for even one second think about how we feel?
34:36everything I did was for you, Emily
34:40you've got everything
34:41power, success, status, me
34:43you should be thanking me
34:45I don't have a real mother
34:47not if she's messed up like you
34:50you didn't do this for me
34:52you did it for yourself
34:55Emily
34:55we did this for your future
34:57we placed you in the Astor family so you'd have the best education
35:01the best life
35:02and this is the thanks we get?
35:05ungrateful
35:06and since we're talking about revenge
35:08the most vicious person in this room is Melanie
35:11he's right
35:12Melanie's actions are worse than Sharon's
35:15what kind of mother watches her own child get tortured for years
35:20and does nothing
35:22Melanie
35:23Anna is broken
35:25Emily despises you
35:28are you satisfied now?
35:30if none of you wanted me
35:31why did you give birth to me?
35:35if none of you wanted me
35:37why did you give birth to me?
35:39I hated Sharon for breaking me into nothing
35:43I hate you more
35:44I used to pray you were my mom
35:47and you were
35:48and you wanted me suffer anyway
35:51why?
35:52why did you do this to me?
36:00don't come any closer
36:02Anna!
36:08so this is what it's come to Melanie
36:10stop pretending already
36:12having a daughter like this
36:13is a stain on your life
36:16if she dies
36:17you should be relieved
36:18you will regret this Sharon
36:21regret?
36:22what should I regret?
36:23not killing her sooner?
36:25she dared to hurt Emily today
36:26this is the punishment she deserves
36:28keeping her alive is nothing but a waste of resources
36:32Anna?
36:33don't close your eyes
36:34don't you dare fall asleep
36:35I'm calling 9-1-1 right now
36:38why?
36:40why?
36:41Anna?
36:42Anna?
36:42Anna!
36:45hurry up!
36:46call 9-1-1 now!
36:48hello?
36:48yes? 9-1-1?
36:50stop!
36:50that little bitch pointed a knife at Emily
36:53this is the punishment she deserves
36:56you stabbed Anna Sharon
36:58and now you're blocking me from calling for help
37:00do you actually want her dead?
37:02don't be dramatic
37:03that girl is thick skinned
37:06she won't die so easily
37:08besides today she threatened Emily
37:10tomorrow she might actually stab her
37:12I simply delivered justice
37:14a lesson she'll never forget
37:17so in your world
37:19teaching a lesson means
37:20punching a knife into someone?
37:22enough!
37:23stop fighting!
37:24Anna is bleeding out!
37:26we're taking her to the hospital now!
37:35doctor!
37:36please!
37:37how is Anna?
37:38she's lost a dangerous amount of blood
37:40her body shows years of abuse
37:42old injuries that were never treated
37:46we don't know if she'll ever wake up
37:48well I guess that settles it
37:49no more competition for Emily now
37:52you turned a child into this
37:54a half dead body on a hospital bed
37:56and all you can think about is the company?
37:58are you even human?
38:00humanity
38:01oh that's rich coming from you
38:03why wouldn't it come from me?
38:05I didn't stab my own daughter
38:06what did you just say?
38:08the girl you stabbed tonight
38:10the one you tried to kill
38:11she isn't my daughter Sharon Shaw
38:13she's yours
38:16the girl you stabbed tonight
38:18the one you tried to kill
38:19she isn't my daughter Sharon Shaw
38:22she's yours
38:23oh my god
38:25have you completely lost your mind?
38:27Sharon
38:28when you switched the babies
38:30you were in such a rush
38:32you didn't even bother to really look at them
38:34at how different they were
38:37what do you mean?
38:38oh please
38:39all newborns look identical
38:40no one can tell them apart
38:42then why do you suddenly look so nervous Joshua?
38:44I'm not nervous
38:45when Emily was born
38:47I noticed a red birthmark on her wrist
38:50before I could even mention it
38:52you had already rushed to swap the babies
38:55and had stolen her from me
38:56a birthmark
38:58no
38:58that's
38:59no that's impossible
39:01this can't be right
39:02a birthmark proves nothing
39:03Melanie
39:04let's be honest
39:06your daughter's practically a vegetable now
39:08you're desperate
39:10spinning fantasies
39:12Emily is my sister's child
39:14DNA tests
39:15don't lie
39:16oh I agree
39:17a birthmark alone doesn't prove much
39:19which is why
39:21while Anna was in surgery
39:22I had the hospital run another DNA test
39:25the results should be in any second now
39:28Mrs. Astor
39:29these are the DNA results you requested
39:34what is this?
39:35is this even real?
39:36what the hell is happening?
39:38Emily is your daughter?
39:40then Anna is mine
39:43wait
39:45Melanie
39:45what on earth is going on here?
39:46what the hell is happening?
39:49Emily is your daughter?
39:51then
39:52Anna is mine
39:54wait
39:55Melanie
39:56what on earth is going on here?
39:59mom
39:59Emily
40:00sweetheart
40:00don't worry
40:01mom's got this
40:02I'll fix everything
40:04no
40:04no this is fake
40:06I'm intelligent
40:07and I'm beautiful
40:09there is absolutely no universe where I can do it
40:12I gave birth to that
40:13gutter rat
40:14you rigged this
40:15admit it
40:16you're just trying to claw your company back aren't you?
40:19you're still lying to yourself even now
40:20let me guess
40:21the fake DNA test you arranged must have cost a fortune huh?
40:26I
40:26I don't know what you're talking about
40:27Sharon
40:28you have to believe me
40:29enough
40:30stop lying
40:31both of you
40:31if you wanted control of the Astor group
40:34you needed Emily tied to yourself somehow
40:36so you forged the DNA results didn't you?
40:40true
40:42you better not be lying to me
40:46I clearly remember switching the babies that night
40:49oh
40:49spare us the drama
40:51do you honestly think I'd watch my child be stolen and do nothing?
40:56I'm a mother Sharon
40:58not an idiot
41:00you
41:02switched them back so Anna really is mine
41:05no
41:06what have I done?
41:11Anna
41:12baby
41:12open your eyes
41:13I'll handle everything else
41:16I promise you'll spend the rest of your life safe and at peace
41:20Anna
41:22oh Anna my baby girl
41:24I'm sorry
41:25I didn't know it was you
41:28please come back to me
41:30let me fix this
41:31let me make it right
41:34are you the patient's legal guardian?
41:36we found her body covered in injuries
41:38some recent
41:39others long healed over
41:41multiple infections
41:47this is your fault
41:48you planned this
41:49if it weren't for you
41:50I would have never laid a hand on my own daughter
41:55you lost your mind
41:56did I put bruises on her?
41:58did I lock her in rooms?
42:00starve her?
42:01no
42:02you did that
42:03her condition is your work
42:04shut up
42:05if you hadn't switched them back
42:07Anna wouldn't be lying in a coma right now
42:09wake up Sharon
42:10for once in your life
42:11take responsibility
42:13even if Anna were my daughter
42:14so what?
42:15she's a child
42:16she's innocent
42:18why drag her into your twisted revenge games?
42:21because I wanted to hurt you
42:23tormenting your daughter was to see you suffer
42:26that made me happy
42:27you're sick
42:28and you
42:29stop
42:31get a grip
42:31why the hell did you lie to me?
42:34you stood there and watched me stab my own daughter
42:37your own niece
42:39I did it for you
42:40she may never wake up
42:42but the company still matters
42:44we can't bring Anna back
42:46but the business
42:47we can rebuild from this
42:49Melanie, you ruined my daughter
42:52so now you owe me
42:54hand over the Aster Group
42:56as compensation
42:59hand over the Aster Group
43:01as compensation
43:02Sharon
43:03you've completely lost your damn mind
43:05you stabbed your own daughter
43:07you put her in that bed
43:08why on earth should we compensate you?
43:10Melanie, you knew the children hadn't been switched at birth
43:13and you kept that truth buried for 18 years
43:16we have every reason to believe you did it out of spite
43:19you don't get to wash your hands of Anna's condition
43:23exactly
43:24every time I punished Anna
43:25you were right there
