00:00:03Eight years. It's been eight long years since I last saw my little Ashley. Today's the day I
00:00:11finally get to see my daughter get married. Happy birthday, sweetheart. Thanks, Mom. Your presents
00:00:20are always my favorite. Anyway, today is Ashley's big day and Mom is here with your favorite gifts.
00:00:33Whoa, lady, stop. Stop. You don't want to try panhanding here and no loitering neither. Do yourself a favor. This
00:00:41is a high-end joint and you clearly don't belong here. So get out before I drag you out.
00:00:49Wait, stop. Hold on a second. Miss Anderson.
00:00:54Ashley.
00:01:01Mom, can we talk over there?
00:01:07What are you doing here? I told you not to come.
00:01:10Well, I, every mother wants to see their little girl walk down the aisle.
00:01:16I brought you some of your favorites from home.
00:01:20This strawberry jam, turkey jerky,
00:01:26and I needed you this scarf.
00:01:31Are you serious right now? What am I supposed to do with all of these?
00:01:34Do you have any idea who I'm marrying?
00:01:36Oh my God, it smells like a barn.
00:01:43Ashley, I can see you don't want me here.
00:01:47Can I just watch?
00:01:48No, Mom.
00:01:50I told everyone that you were traveling abroad and you just couldn't make it.
00:01:55Now you just show up out of the blue.
00:01:56How am I even going to explain that?
00:02:01I'm sorry. I didn't know.
00:02:04I thought it would be a nice surprise.
00:02:08Mom, you work too hard.
00:02:10When I grow up, I will take you to the fanciest restaurant
00:02:14and go on a beach vacation.
00:02:17Thank you, sweetheart.
00:02:19I thought you would be happy to see me.
00:02:23Ashley.
00:02:27Who's this?
00:02:30Uh...
00:02:33This...
00:02:34This is my, um...
00:02:35My Aunt Nancy.
00:02:36She just dropped in.
00:02:39Got it. Welcome.
00:02:41Why don't you just invite your aunt in?
00:02:42Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:02:46Okay.
00:02:47Fine.
00:02:48But don't embarrass me.
00:02:50Remember,
00:02:51your Aunt Nancy
00:03:06It's magnificent.
00:03:08My little girl is marrying into a whole other world.
00:03:12I hear she has no family attending the wedding.
00:03:16That's so sucks.
00:03:17They say she comes from poor's.
00:03:19She's probably some country hick
00:03:21who somehow
00:03:22clawed her way
00:03:24into the Anderson family.
00:03:27Well...
00:03:29What are you talking about?
00:03:30Who else?
00:03:32The bride, of course.
00:03:36You can tell by her posture alone
00:03:38that she comes from broke trash.
00:03:40But she acts like she's a goddamn princess.
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:43Even her mother didn't show up.
00:03:45Either Ashley is ashamed
00:03:48or Mom abandoned her.
00:03:50Either way,
00:03:52it's a lone plus shit.
00:03:56None of what you're saying is true.
00:03:58Ashley is kind and thoughtful
00:04:01and she may have a humble background
00:04:04but she's rich in character.
00:04:07Who are you anyway?
00:04:08You know,
00:04:09usually the janitors
00:04:10don't show up until after the wedding.
00:04:14Look at her clothes.
00:04:16My socks cost more than half a closet.
00:04:21Wait, wait.
00:04:22Don't tell me she's related to the bride.
00:04:25That would be...
00:04:26Yikes.
00:04:27As a matter of fact,
00:04:29yes,
00:04:30I'm here for Ashley.
00:04:32Ha!
00:04:32I knew it.
00:04:37I almost feel sorry for Ashley.
00:04:39She worked so hard
00:04:41to hide people like you from us.
00:04:45Little princess must be mortified.
00:04:47You're here.
00:04:51Mortified?
00:04:53What am I doing to embarrass her?
00:04:56And what would you know
00:04:57about my bank account?
00:04:59Oh my god, lady.
00:05:00Do I really have to spell it out for you?
00:05:02That sad little outfit of yours
00:05:04wouldn't even hit 50 bucks.
00:05:06What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:10You!
00:05:12What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:16You!
00:05:17You just standing there.
00:05:18Get back to work.
00:05:20Setting tables or whatever it is
00:05:21that you people do.
00:05:23I'm having a word with a manager
00:05:25about hiring better staff.
00:05:27Look at you.
00:05:29Filthy.
00:05:30Ma'am, I'm not part of the staff.
00:05:32Please.
00:05:33You don't expect me to believe
00:05:35that you're on my list.
00:05:37Lucy actually, yes.
00:05:38She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:41I'm with you, Lucy.
00:05:42Lucy, it doesn't look like she belongs here.
00:05:44Shh.
00:05:47Well, someone's obviously mistaken.
00:05:50Because I went through the guest list myself
00:05:53and Ashley never mentioned somebody like her.
00:05:56Well, maybe you missed it.
00:05:58I don't think so.
00:06:01Who are you really?
00:06:03I think you should leave before I call security.
00:06:07I'm not leaving.
00:06:10I'm here to see Ashley.
00:06:12But Ashley didn't put you on the list, did she?
00:06:17Or are you here hoping for a handout?
00:06:20I mean, these gifts are for the bride and groom.
00:06:23They're not for guests.
00:06:28All I wanted was to be here for Ashley.
00:06:31Fine.
00:06:32If you want to continue with this madness,
00:06:35then you've just pulled this on yourself, haven't you?
00:06:44Lucy, maybe just let it go.
00:06:46It's your son's big day.
00:06:48You shouldn't be getting your hands dirty.
00:06:50No way.
00:06:51That lady deserved it.
00:06:53Somebody had to teach her a lesson.
00:06:55I'm not here to cause trouble.
00:06:58I'm just here for the ceremony
00:07:00and to bring some gifts for the bride.
00:07:04Really?
00:07:04Let's see what delightful little treasures
00:07:08that you've dragged in here.
00:07:13Incredible.
00:07:16Preserves.
00:07:23Dried meat.
00:07:26Oh, and a scarf that smells like the bottom of a stable.
00:07:40Shall I show you what we do with the trash?
00:07:46No!
00:07:47What are you doing?
00:07:49Stop!
00:07:50Somebody help me, please!
00:07:53I told you
00:07:55that I can do all the fuck my life.
00:08:01I'm Ashley!
00:08:02I'm Ashley!
00:08:10It's a lie!
00:08:12Ashley's mother is vacationing in Switzerland.
00:08:15Although my daughter-in-law's family
00:08:18may not be at our level,
00:08:20they are very respectable.
00:08:23And what the hell are you?
00:08:25Did she really say that?
00:08:28Of course.
00:08:30Did you really think
00:08:31you could come
00:08:32waltzing in here
00:08:34and ruining my son's wedding?
00:08:37You're not the first
00:08:38freeloading fraud
00:08:40that I've encountered.
00:08:42Don't worry, everyone.
00:08:44This old bag lady,
00:08:46she won't be troubling us much longer.
00:08:49Yeah, kick her ass out.
00:08:51I'm sick of her
00:08:52frumboid little face.
00:09:04Why are you crazy?
00:09:06Are you gonna murder me in public?
00:09:09Why not?
00:09:10Who'd even notice
00:09:11if you were gone?
00:09:18Mother?
00:09:23Mother?
00:09:27Mother?
00:09:30Ashley, do you know this woman?
00:09:33So why wasn't she
00:09:34on the guest list?
00:09:35That's my...
00:09:37Uh, a distant relative.
00:09:40Aunt Nancy.
00:09:41Um, she dropped by last minute.
00:09:43Yes, we met her
00:09:45at the entrance.
00:09:47I'm...
00:09:49I'm her Aunt Nancy.
00:09:53Your mother's in Switzerland.
00:09:55That's right, isn't it?
00:09:57Yes, of course.
00:09:59Lying's not going to get you
00:10:00very far in my world.
00:10:02Your niece,
00:10:04my daughter-in-law,
00:10:06isn't going to
00:10:07follow your
00:10:08tall tales.
00:10:10Okay?
00:10:12Auntie?
00:10:13Auntie?
00:10:23I...
00:10:24I never wanted
00:10:26any of this.
00:10:27I just wanted
00:10:28to see Ashley happy.
00:10:31Happy?
00:10:32With you here?
00:10:36Well...
00:10:41Maybe this will cheer
00:10:43everybody up.
00:11:10Mother, she really didn't mean to cause a fuss.
00:11:12She just really wanted to see me get married.
00:11:13You're defending this marmalade woman?
00:11:20You know, I call you my daughter-in-law,
00:11:23but it's not official yet.
00:11:26Do you still want to marry my son?
00:11:29Yes, of course, Mother.
00:11:31Good. Then I'll give you one more chance.
00:11:35Sure, Mother. I'll probably now.
00:11:37Nancy, I'm sorry, but you have to...
00:11:40Oh, no, no, no, dear.
00:11:42That's not enough.
00:11:44Go over and slap her in her ugly peasant face.
00:11:50It's that or you can forget about joining our family.
00:11:54Come on, Ashley. Everything's ready.
00:11:56Stop wasting time.
00:11:58Give her a quick slap and let's move on.
00:12:01Ashley...
00:12:03Look at me.
00:12:06What has happened to you?
00:12:09Look.
00:12:11Look at who I am.
00:12:14Shut up. That's enough.
00:12:16I know who you are.
00:12:19Sorry, Mom. This is my future.
00:12:22You wanted me to have everything.
00:12:25So, you just have to forgive me.
00:12:47Get out.
00:12:51I can't believe you'd hit me.
00:12:55How could you?
00:12:57I knew...
00:12:58You're her what?
00:13:00You're just some hillbilly distant relative from the middle of nowhere.
00:13:05Just look at you.
00:13:07That outfit.
00:13:09Standing amongst your betters.
00:13:11If you're not ashamed, we are on your behalf.
00:13:15Amen to that, Mrs. Anderson.
00:13:17You know, if the press catches on to this, it will be all over the feeds tomorrow.
00:13:21A total tabloid scandal.
00:13:25Ashley...
00:13:27How could you treat me like this after all these years?
00:13:31It's so pathetic.
00:13:32She's still acting like she matters.
00:13:41Say something.
00:13:43Tell them.
00:13:46Tell them.
00:13:47Tell them who I am.
00:13:50Mom, I...
00:13:52Yes, Ashley.
00:13:53Yes, I'm here.
00:14:03I'm sorry, Mom.
00:14:04I...
00:14:05I can't admit it.
00:14:08I'm getting weary with this charade.
00:14:12Is there going to be a wedding or not?
00:14:14Or shall we just call this whole thing off?
00:14:17Ashley, come on.
00:14:19This is our big day.
00:14:20Are you siding with my mother or this...
00:14:22This vagabond?
00:14:23Do you even want to marry me?
00:14:26Of course.
00:14:28I...
00:14:28I didn't mean that at all.
00:14:33Please, just stop.
00:14:36Just tell them you were wrong.
00:14:38And leave quietly.
00:14:40For me.
00:14:42But what...
00:14:43What did I do wrong?
00:14:45I...
00:14:45I just came to see you get married.
00:14:49She's a persistent little bumpkin.
00:14:51I'll give her that.
00:14:52I guess you have to be persistent to survive out in the wilderness.
00:14:56Okay.
00:14:57Enough.
00:14:58Just go.
00:14:59I don't want you here.
00:15:01Leave now.
00:15:05I'm sorry.
00:15:08I'm just a poor woman from the countryside.
00:15:12I shouldn't have come.
00:15:17Not bad.
00:15:18Well, since you came all this way, all by uninvited, let me offer you some dessert.
00:15:32I bet you've never seen anything quite this exquisite in your whole miserable life.
00:15:39Bon Appetit.
00:15:57It's a...
00:15:58Uh...
00:15:59What?
00:16:01Is it gonna happen?
00:16:03Oh, my God.
00:16:04Yes.
00:16:05I don't want you to...
00:16:06I don't want you to.
00:16:11Oh, my God.
00:16:16Oh, another pear tainted.
00:16:28Alright, now get out before you taint this wedding any further.
00:16:35Alright, I'll go.
00:16:41Congratulations, Ashley.
00:16:44I hope you have a happy marriage.
00:16:47Of course she'll be happy. She's marrying my son.
00:16:51How could she not?
00:16:54And don't forget your gifts.
00:16:56Yeah, I don't need them.
00:17:32Ashley, when I only wanted to see you happy, I still hope you will be.
00:17:54Miss Brooks, our client is waiting up to you.
00:18:16Ma?
00:18:19It really is you.
00:18:23It's me.
00:18:25Lauren.
00:18:27Look, Lauren?
00:18:30Is it really you?
00:18:32Ma was always so kind to me.
00:18:34I mean, she adopted me and raised me as her own.
00:18:39Now you're both my precious girls.
00:18:42Then in college, my birth parents reached out after the hurricane.
00:18:47Everything was so confusing and I was so lost.
00:18:50Now I've got all this money and a new life.
00:18:53But God, I still miss Ma so much.
00:18:57I searched for you for years.
00:18:59I didn't know if you survived the hurricane.
00:19:04What happened?
00:19:06What happened?
00:19:10Ma.
00:19:11I reconnected you with my birth parents.
00:19:14So much has happened.
00:19:17I thought you'd all forgotten about me.
00:19:22Never.
00:19:23Never.
00:19:30Ma.
00:19:32Let's go home.
00:19:47Oh, Lauren.
00:19:48I can't go inside.
00:19:50I don't belong here.
00:19:52I should go.
00:19:52Ma.
00:19:53What are you saying?
00:19:55You're family.
00:19:57My home is your home.
00:20:00Lauren.
00:20:01Who's this?
00:20:06This is my adoptive mother.
00:20:08The woman who raised me.
00:20:10Ma.
00:20:11This is William.
00:20:13He is my-
00:20:14Another mother.
00:20:16Lauren, this is a lot to drop on somebody.
00:20:18How am I supposed to process this?
00:20:21Lauren, what other secrets are you hiding?
00:20:22What else is there?
00:20:25I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:20:26I should go.
00:20:27I'll only be in the way here.
00:20:31No.
00:20:31No, please.
00:20:33Stay.
00:20:34Lauren, I don't want to come between you and your boyfriend.
00:20:37Ma.
00:20:38You are not just an outsider.
00:20:41Okay?
00:20:41Forget him.
00:20:42Let's just go inside.
00:20:47Babe, I wish you told me your mother was coming in advance.
00:20:50Could have gotten a nicer gift.
00:20:52Nancy, I'm William.
00:20:53I'm Lauren's fiancee.
00:20:55Please excuse my behaviour from earlier.
00:20:57Sometimes I can get a little bit anxious.
00:20:59But it's no excuse.
00:21:00Okay?
00:21:01Come inside.
00:21:02Take your shoes off.
00:21:03Let's get comfortable.
00:21:04Hopefully you can accept this gift from me as well.
00:21:10Thank you, William.
00:21:12Did you say Lauren's fiancee?
00:21:18Yes, mom.
00:21:19I'm doing well.
00:21:21You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:21:23Now that's more like it.
00:21:27Come on.
00:21:29Let's go inside.
00:21:30And chill.
00:21:35What a disaster of a wedding you've pulled off.
00:21:39Embarrassing.
00:21:41Chaotic.
00:21:42You're pulling up on your own and you bring in this distant aunt to humiliate me.
00:21:47Mother, I'm sorry.
00:21:49No, sorry doesn't cut it.
00:21:52You barely earn anything and you can't even afford a goddamn housekeeper.
00:21:57I could have asked my aunt Nancy to help her run the house.
00:22:00She'll do it for real cheap and she'll do whatever you want.
00:22:04Alright.
00:22:05But if she doesn't make this place sparkle, she will not get a penny.
00:22:22My shoes are dirty.
00:22:24My socks have holes in them.
00:22:26I should just stay here.
00:22:36Hey.
00:22:38Don't worry about it.
00:22:39This floor, it was made for you to walk home.
00:22:46Mom, you've worked your whole life.
00:22:49You gave me everything.
00:22:51You shouldn't have to feel like a stranger in your own daughter's home.
00:22:58Both.
00:23:08Mom, you don't need to be nervous.
00:23:11This is your home now.
00:23:14You can retire.
00:23:16Enjoy life.
00:23:18Exactly.
00:23:20I never thought I'd be able to quit working or much less live like this.
00:23:26It's all a little overwhelming, to be honest.
00:23:29By the way, Mom, what brought you to the city?
00:23:31I came for Ashley's wedding.
00:23:33Oh my God, really?
00:23:36Ashley married?
00:23:38That's Mom's biological daughter.
00:23:40We grew up together.
00:23:41I remember you said you had a sister, but you didn't really say much about her.
00:23:46We haven't been in touch in forever.
00:23:47We lost contact after college.
00:23:50Who did she marry?
00:23:52Steven Anderson.
00:23:53Oh, the Andersons.
00:23:56I love them.
00:23:57They have a company with great growing potential.
00:24:00Good for Ashley.
00:24:02Yeah.
00:24:04You seem like a good match.
00:24:15Hello?
00:24:16Hey, Mom, it's me.
00:24:18Ashley.
00:24:19About earlier.
00:24:21Yeah, forget it.
00:24:22Hey, can you come to my house tomorrow?
00:24:25Don't get the wrong idea.
00:24:26We're just really busy with the baby and we need an extra hand.
00:24:29I assume you're not busy, right?
00:24:31Yes.
00:24:32Yeah, no problem.
00:24:33I'm glad I can help.
00:24:36And I can see my grandchild, right?
00:24:39Willow?
00:24:40Yeah, sure.
00:24:42But just so you know, we can't pay you a lot.
00:24:44My finances are really tied up right now.
00:24:46I don't need money.
00:24:47Seeing you and my grandchild is more than enough.
00:24:52This means the world to me.
00:24:54Cool.
00:24:54I'll text you the address.
00:24:59Hey, Mom, it's done.
00:25:01She'll start with tomorrow.
00:25:03Hmm.
00:25:04Well, she better do a good job or she'll answer to me.
00:25:11Lauren, I think I have to leave.
00:25:14Ashley meets me.
00:25:16Oh.
00:25:17Is she okay?
00:25:18Well, yes.
00:25:19I'm busy, you know.
00:25:22And I'm going to go help out over there.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:27I understand.
00:25:30Please come back soon.
00:25:34I'll send Ashley a gift.
00:25:36Something to help her with her career.
00:25:38We may not be close anymore, but we're still sisters.
00:25:40And I want you both to have the best life possible.
00:25:44Thank you, Lauren.
00:25:57Ashley, can you not do one thing right for a change?
00:26:01Ashley, Mother's right.
00:26:04This wedding costs a fortune.
00:26:06I called Aunt Nancy.
00:26:08She will cook, clean, whatever.
00:26:11It'll save us a lot of time and energy.
00:26:12A bargain bin relative.
00:26:15Is that the single thing that you can bring to this marriage?
00:26:19Sad.
00:26:22Sorry.
00:26:25Hello?
00:26:27The Brooks Group wants to partner with me?
00:26:31A $5 million commission?
00:26:33What?
00:26:38Mom!
00:26:39Steven!
00:26:40The Brooks Group, they want to work with me.
00:26:42And I'd give $5 million.
00:26:44It's a miracle!
00:26:47Well...
00:26:50Well, well, Ashley.
00:26:52I always knew you were a good girl, deep down.
00:26:58The Brooks Group, they are the biggest corporation in the city.
00:27:03And this is going to triple our business value.
00:27:07Ashley, baby, I knew you could be.
00:27:11Tell me, how in the world did you land a deal with the Brooks Group?
00:27:16Honestly, I don't know.

01:11:45You. You were the guest I invited. You were Ashley.
01:11:49You were that woman in the sales office.
01:11:52Were you stalking us too?
01:11:55You see, I told you. These three, they're in it together.
01:11:59The washed-up old hag, the wild little slut and that disgusting gimp.
01:12:04All here to stir up trouble.
01:12:07Uh-oh. That's Lauren Brooks.
01:12:09My God. And you heard what that woman just called her?
01:12:13I don't think they're actually enormous, Brooks.
01:12:18What is wrong with you people? They're all fake.
01:12:23Call the police, Steven.
01:12:34How dare you publicly humiliate Ms. Brooks.
01:12:38Ms. Brooks?
01:12:40Ms. Brooks?
01:12:43Ashley Morgan?
01:12:44Yeah, that's me.
01:12:46I can't believe it.
01:12:49You really don't recognize me?
01:12:53I don't know.
01:12:54Look at me.
01:12:55You stand here mocking her, humiliating her, shoving her around in public, and yet you feel nothing.
01:13:06I know you really want this contract, Ashley, but I don't want to give it to you anymore.
01:13:12No, you can't do that, Ms. Brooks.
01:13:17I am so stupid.
01:13:19I mean, Ms. Brooks, of course they recognize you.
01:13:22I mean, everyone knows your family.
01:13:25Enough!
01:13:26Ms. Brooks, we were wrong.
01:13:28We see that now.
01:13:30Please have some mercy.
01:13:31We didn't mean any harm.
01:13:33Let us make it up to you, all right?
01:13:38Don't play innocent with me.
01:13:40I heard every word you said to Nancy.
01:13:44And I'm sure you all said and did worse when you were alone with her.
01:13:48Ms. Brooks, I'm sorry.
01:13:49I can see we got off on the wrong foot.
01:13:51Look, we know we messed up, but the project, that's business, right?
01:13:56Forget the contract.
01:13:58Forget business.
01:14:00What about family?
01:14:02Why are you saying this to me?
01:14:04I'll tell you.
01:14:06But first, answer me this.

01:14:17Who is that woman?
01:14:21Say it, Ashley Morgan.
01:14:24Right here, in front of everyone.
01:14:28Tell everyone who this woman really is.
01:14:34Say it, Ashley.
01:14:36Who is she?
01:14:41Miss Brooks.
01:14:44I don't know what you're talking about.
01:14:47But it should have nothing to do with our contract.
01:14:51We're professionals.
01:14:56I...
01:14:57I can't handle this anymore.
01:15:00I shouldn't be here.
01:15:01I wasn't made for this...
01:15:04big city life.
01:15:06I've never been anything but worthless.
01:15:10You can't let them treat you like this.
01:15:12You are not what they say.
01:15:15You're the most precious person I've ever known.
01:15:19Miss Brooks, please just let her leave.
01:15:21Don't allow her to ruin the evening.
01:15:25Our evening?
01:15:27Is that all you care about?
01:15:29The contract?
01:15:30Money?
01:15:31Miss Brooks, I'm sorry, but I...
01:15:34Ashley, you kicked Nancy out of your wedding.
01:15:38You humiliated her while buying a house.
01:15:41And now you just stand here watching as your mother-in-law bullies and abuses her.
01:15:49Not even a stranger deserves to be treated like this.
01:15:52But she's not a stranger, is she?
01:15:56Tell me.
01:15:58Who took care of you when you were sick?
01:16:01Who stayed up with you when you had a nightmare?
01:16:06Who gave up everything?
01:16:09Everything!
01:16:10To give you a better life.
01:16:14She's not some random woman.
01:16:16She's not even your aunt.
01:16:19She's the reason you exist.
01:16:21So why is it so hard to admit that she is your mother?
01:16:29She's Mrs. Anderson's mother?
01:16:32Her mother was right there and she refused to acknowledge her.
01:16:36And she even humiliated her in public.
01:16:40How terrible.
01:16:41How do you know that?
01:16:47Wait.
01:16:53Oh my god.
01:16:57Oh, Laura.
01:16:59She's your mother, Ashley?
01:17:01You told me that she was traveling the world.
01:17:04That she wasn't even in the country.
01:17:07You told me that she was just a distant aunt.
01:17:11Ashley, you lied to us?
01:17:13Your mother is just a dirty old woman?
01:17:16Ashley, this woman raised you.
01:17:19You gave her all for you.
01:17:23Provided a home full of love.
01:17:27And you denied her.
01:17:30Like she was nothing.
01:17:32Ungrateful brat.
01:17:34If she would betray her mother like that,
01:17:37how could anyone ever trust her?
01:17:39Honestly, I feel bad for that poor woman.
01:17:42All right.
01:17:43You all asked for this.
01:17:58That's...
01:18:00I'm sorry.
01:18:03I'm sorry.
01:18:05Oh, sorry! I literally...
01:18:08Please, please give me another chance!
01:18:11We were wrong! We were very wrong!
01:18:15We are decent people, really!
01:18:18I promise, from now on, I'm gonna treat Nancy with the most utter respect!
01:18:25I'm not the one you should be kneeling to.
01:18:41Oops. Accidents.
01:18:44Stephen! Stephen!
01:18:49Stephen! Now!
01:18:50Stephen!
01:18:52Leave me out of this. Stephen! Stephen!
01:18:55I didn't ask for this. It didn't do anything.
01:18:58Stephen!
01:19:00But you did ask for this, you son of a bitch.
01:19:18Oh...
01:19:20Mommy...
01:19:21I... I know I fucked up.
01:19:27I just got caught up in all of this.
01:19:30And it's been so hard.
01:19:34I was blind. I see that now. I was just awful.
01:19:41It could change for you. And for Willow. Don't forget your granddaughter.
01:19:48Mother...
01:19:50I didn't know it was yours.
01:19:53I promise, from now on, I'll treat you... I'll treat you like my own mother.
01:19:59See?
01:20:01Oh...
01:20:02What a mile ride!
01:20:06You know what it's like for women of our age.
01:20:09We have to keep our appearances.
01:20:11Come on...
01:20:13Let's not dwell in the past.
01:20:15Let's be friends, dear.
01:20:19Whatever you decide, Mom.
01:20:22I'm with you.
01:20:23You know what I'm with you.
01:20:53source of shame for you and that's a hard thing for a mother to accept.
01:21:08Yes, I come from the countryside
01:21:13and yes, I've led a humble life
01:21:20which some might consider poor. Since I've come to town, I've been harassed, mistreated, lied to, and lied about.
01:21:40Ashley, I can see how I've embarrassed you. I'm not the kind of mother you want. She is.
01:21:48I've made peace with that and I'll be okay, really. But from now on,
01:21:59you are not my daughter.
01:22:08No. Mom, please don't do that.
01:22:14No. Mom, please don't do that.
01:22:18Please, please wait.
01:22:23Ashley Anderson and the entire Anderson family are blacklisted from Brooks Group's projects.
01:22:30I'll personally ensure every one of our partners know, no one works with you ever again.
01:22:38Furthermore, I will have my lawyer investigate all that you did to my mother and you will be held
01:22:45accountable to the full extent of the law.
01:22:50But of course, I will be left.
01:23:04I will be right.
01:23:06I will be right back.
01:23:17But I will only be left behind me.
01:23:24Mom, let's go home.
01:23:48This was your favorite. Try it. I used your recipe.
01:23:53Should we go to the gardens this afternoon? I remember you said you wanted to plant some roses.
01:24:00Thank you. Both. You know, being here with you, it's more than I could ever ask for.
01:24:26Let's have a seat. Here we go. Let's have a seat.
01:24:35Here we go.
01:24:37Hi there, honey.
01:24:41Do you know this lady in your room? Is she like your mom?
01:24:45Of course not. My mom's on vacation in Europe.
01:24:48No, I'm not Willow. I am right here.
01:24:51You're mistaken, ma'am. I've never seen you before in my life.
01:24:54Okay, let's go in this case. Let's go to the coffee shop. Just have some bread.
01:25:03Madam, isn't that your daughter, Miss Anderson? Would you like to go say hello?
01:25:08No need. I only have one daughter. Now let's go home.
01:25:18And we'll be back in the house on my way.
01:25:21We'll be back in the house.
01:25:22In the house with us.
01:25:27I was just getting back in the house.
01:25:28You're not here.
