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.
00:00:41This is 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. I brought you some
00:01:18of your favorites from home. Strawberry jam, turkey jerky, and I needed you the scarf.
00:01:31Are you serious right now? What am I supposed to do with all of these? Do you have any idea
00:01:35who I'm marrying? Oh, my God. It smells like a barn.
00:01:43Ashley, I can see you don't want me here. Can I just watch? No, Mom. I told everyone that you
00:01:51were
00:01:51traveling abroad. And you just couldn't make it. Now you just show up out of the blue. How
00:01:57am I even going to explain that?
00:02:01I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought it would be a nice surprise.
00:02:08Mom, you work too hard. When I grow up, I will take you to the fanciest restaurant and go on
00:02:15a beach vacation.
00:02:17Thank you, sweetheart. I thought you would be happy to see me.
00:02:23Ashley.
00:02:27Who's this?
00:02:29Uh, this, this is my, um, my Aunt Nancy. She just dropped in.
00:02:39Got it. Welcome. Why don't you just invite your aunt in?
00:02:42Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:02:46Okay, fine. But don't embarrass me. Remember, your aunt, Nancy.
00:03:06It's magnificent. My little girl is marrying into a whole other world.
00:03:13I hear she has no family attending the wedding. That's so sucks.
00:03:17They say she comes from pores. She's probably some country hick who somehow clawed her way
00:03:24into the Anderson family.
00:03:26What are you talking about?
00:03:31Who else? The bride, of course.
00:03:36You can tell by her posture alone that she comes from broke trash.
00:03:39But she acts like she's a goddamn princess.
00:03:42Yeah, even her mother didn't show. Either Ashley is ashamed or mom abandoned her.
00:03:50Either way, it's alone plus shit.
00:03:56None of what you're saying is true. Ashley is kind and thoughtful. And she may have a humble background,
00:04:04but she's rich in character.
00:04:06Who are you anyway? You know, usually the janitors don't show up until after the wedding.
00:04:14Look at her clothes. My socks cost more than all the clothes set.
00:04:21Wait, wait. Don't tell me she's related to the bride. That would be...yikes.
00:04:27As a matter of fact, yes, I'm here for Ashley.
00:04:32I knew it.
00:04:36I almost feel sorry for Ashley. She worked so hard to hide people like you from us.
00:04:45Little princess must be mortified. You're here.
00:04:51Mortified? What am I doing to embarrass her? And what would you know about my bank account?
00:04:59Oh my god, lady. Do I really have to spell it out for you? That 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. You. You just standing there. Get back to work. Setting tables or whatever it is that you people do.
00:05:23You know, I'll be having a word with your manager about hiring better staff. Look at you. Filthy.
00:05:30Ma'am, I'm not part of the staff. Please, you don't expect me to believe that you're on my list.
00:05:36Lucy, actually, yes. She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:41I'm with you, Lucy. It doesn't look like she belongs here.
00:05:47Well, someone's obviously mistaken. Because I went through the guest list myself and Ashley never mentioned somebody like her.
00:05:56Well, maybe you missed it. I don't think so. Who are you really? I think you should leave before I
00:06:05call security.
00:06:08I'm not leaving. I'm here to see Ashley. But Ashley didn't put you on the list, did she? Or are
00:06:18you here hoping for a handout?
00:06:20I mean, these gifts of the bride and groom, they're not for guests.
00:06:28All I wanted was to be here for Ashley.
00:06:31Fine. If you want to continue with this madness, then you just put this on yourself, haven't you?
00:06:44Lucy, maybe just let it go. It's your son's big day. You shouldn't be getting your hands dirty.
00:06:49No way. That lady deserved it. Somebody had to teach her a lesson.
00:06:55I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm just here for the ceremony and to bring some gifts for the bride.
00:07:04Really? Let's see what delightful little treasures that you've dragged in here.
00:07:09I'm not here. Incredible. Preserves.
00:07:22Oh, dried meat.
00:07:27Oh, 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! What are you doing? Stop! Somebody help me, please!
00:07:53I told you, but I can do all the fuck I love.
00:08:01I'm Ashley's mother.
00:08:12Ashley's mother is vacationing in Switzerland.
00:08:16Although my daughter-in-law's family may not be at our level, they are very respectable.
00:08:22And what the hell are you?
00:08:26Did she really say that?
00:08:28Of course.
00:08:30Did you really think you could come waltzing in here and ruin in my son's wedding?
00:08:37You're not the first freeloading fraud that I've encountered.
00:08:42Don't worry, everyone. This old bag lady, she won't be troubling us much longer.
00:08:49Yeah, kick her ass out.
00:08:51I'm sick of her from the little face.
00:09:04Why are you crazy? Are you gonna murder me in public?
00:09:08Why not? Who'd even notice if you were gone?
00:09:19Mother?
00:09:23Mother?
00:09:27Mother.
00:09:30Ashley, do you know this woman?
00:09:33So why wasn't she on the guest list?
00:09:35Uh, that's my, uh, uh, distant relative.
00:09:40Aunt Nancy. Um, she dropped by last minute.
00:09:43Yes, we met her at the entrance.
00:09:48I'm, I'm her Aunt Nancy.
00:09:53Your mother's in Switzerland, that's right, isn't it?
00:09:57Yes, uh, of course.
00:09:59Lying's not going to get you very far in my world.
00:10:02Your niece, my daughter-in-law, isn't going to follow your tall tales.
00:10:11Okay, Auntie?
00:10:24I, I never wanted any of this. I just wanted to see Ashley happy.
00:10:31Happy? With you here?
00:10:39Well, maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:50Maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:56She's a branch of luck.
00:11:09Mother, she, she really didn't mean to cause a fuss.
00:11:12She just really wanted to see me get married.
00:11:14You're defending this marmalade woman?
00:11:20You know, I call you my daughter-in-law, but it's not official yet.
00:11:26Do you still want to marry my son?
00:11:29Yes, of course, mother.
00:11:31Good.
00:11:32Then I'll give you one more chance.
00:11:35Sure, mother. I'll, I'll, I'll have her leave now.
00:11:38Aunt Nancy, I'm sorry, but you have to...
00:11:40Oh, no, no, no, dear. That'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.
00:11:57Stop wasting time. Give 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.
00:12:20This 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 never...
00:12:58You're her what?
00:13:00You're just some hillbilly distant relative from the middle of nowhere.
00:13:05Well, just look at you. That outfit. Standing amongst your bettors.
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.
00:13:26How could you treat me like this after all these years?
00:13:31It's so pathetic. She's still acting like she matters.
00:13:40Say something.
00:13:44Tell 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.
00:14:05I... I can't admit it.
00:14:09I'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. This is our big day.
00:14:20Are you siding with my mother or this vagabond? Do you even want to marry me?
00:14:26Of course. I... I didn't mean that at all.
00:14:33Please, just stop.
00:14:36Just tell them you were wrong. And leave quietly.
00:14:40For me.
00:14:42But what... What did I do wrong? I... I just came to see you get married.
00:14:49She's a persistent little bumpkin. I'll give her that.
00:14:52I guess you have to be persistent to survive out in the wilderness.
00:14:57Okay, enough. Just go. I don't want you here. Leave now.
00:15:05I'm sorry. I'm just a poor woman from the countryside. I shouldn't have called.
00:15:17Not bad. Well, 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. Bon appetit.
00:15:49I'll kill you.
00:15:52I'll kill you.
00:15:57Oh!
00:16:16Oh, another pear tainted.
00:16:27All right, now get out before you taint this wedding any further.
00:16:35All right, I'll go.
00:16:40Congratulations, Ashley.
00:16:43I hope you have a happy marriage.
00:16:47Of course she'll be happy.
00:16:49She'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, I only wanted to see you happy.
00:17:36I still hope you will be.
00:17:54Miss Brooks, our client is waiting up to me.
00:18:16Ma?
00:18:19It really is you.
00:18:23It's me.
00:18:25Lauren.
00:18:29Lauren?
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.
00:18:56I searched for you for years.
00:18:59I didn't know if you survived the hurricane.
00:19:05What happened?
00:19:10Mom, I reconnected with my birth parents.
00:19:14So much has happened.
00:19:17I thought you'd all forgotten about me.
00:19:21Never.
00:19:23Never.
00:19:30Mom, let's go home.
00:19:47Oh, Lauren, I can't go inside.
00:19:50I don't belong here.
00:19:52I should go.
00:19:53Mom, what 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 adopted mother.
00:20:08The woman who raised me.
00:20:11Mom.
00:20:12This is William.
00:20:14He is my-
00:20:15Another 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!
00:20:32No, please.
00:20:33Stay.
00:20:34Lauren, I don't want to come between you and your boyfriend.
00:20:38Ma, you are not just some outsider.
00:20:40Okay?
00:20:41Forget him.
00:20:43Let'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 fiance.
00:20:55Please excuse my behavior from earlier.
00:20:57Sometimes I can get a little bit anxious, but it's no excuse, okay?
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 fiance?
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.
00:21:31And chill.
00:21:35What a disaster of a wedding you've pulled off.
00:21:39Embarrassing.
00:21:40Chaotic.
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.
00:21:50Sorry 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.
00:22:04Right?
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.
00:22:37Hey, don'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.
00:22:56Thank you, both.
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.
00:23:17Exactly.
00:23:20I never thought I'd be able to quit working, 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 Ma's biological daughter we 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.
00:23:54Oh, 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.
00:24:16It's me.
00:24:18Ashley.
00:24:19About earlier.
00:24:21Yeah.
00:24:22Forget it.
00:24:23Hey, 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.
00:24:32No.
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:32No problem.
00:24:33I'm glad I can help.
00:24:36I can see my grandchild, right?
00:24:39Willow?
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:40Sure.
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.
00:24:53Cool.
00:24:55I'll text you the address.
00:25:00Okay, Mom.
00:25:00It'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.
00:25:21And I'm gonna 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.
00:25:41And 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 Muller'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.
00:26:13A bargain bin relative.
00:26:15Is that the single thing that you can bring to this marriage?
00:26:19Sad.
00:26:21Oh, sorry.
00:26:25Hello?
00:26:27The Brooks Group wants to partner with me?
00:26:31I'd get a $5 million commission?
00:26:34What?
00:26:38Mom!
00:26:39Stephen!
00:26:40The Brooks Group, they want to work with me and I'd get $5 million!
00:26:44It's a miracle!
00:26:47Well...
00:26:50Well, well, Leslie!
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 there.
00:27:11Tell me, how in the world did you land a deal with the Brooks Group?
00:27:16Honestly, I don't know.
00:27:18They said there's going to be a banquet next week and we're going to sign the contract there.
00:27:22Oh!
00:27:23I am so proud of you, darling!
00:27:27Oh, Aunt Nancy.
00:27:29I'm coming!
00:27:30She's coming.
00:27:31Sorry.
00:27:34Uh...
00:27:34Hey.
00:27:35So...
00:27:36Remember, you're my Aunt Nancy.
00:27:38If you want to stay here, don't forget that, got it?
00:27:50Stop right there.
00:27:53Look at your shoes.
00:27:55Covered in mud.
00:27:56You dare to walk in like that?
00:28:04Sorry.
00:28:06So sorry.
00:28:08Now, take off your shoes.
00:28:11Kneel down.
00:28:14And clean every inch that you step.
00:28:18Then you can enter.
00:28:25Mom's right, Aunt Nancy.
00:28:26Just hurry up and clean the floor.
00:28:50That's much more like it.
00:29:02There's my itty-bitty baby.
00:29:06I'll go prepare it for me.
00:29:08No!
00:29:09Oh.
00:29:09Oh, no.
00:29:18Oh.
00:29:30Oh, it's my own girl.
00:29:34Oh, no.
00:29:39That must be my granddaughter.
00:29:42Oh, sweet child, I'd stay here forever, just for her.
00:29:53Hello, Willow.
00:29:55Don't touch my Brenda, Willow.
00:29:58She's my granddaughter, too.
00:30:04Ashley insists you know how to cook.
00:30:08We'll see about that.
00:30:10You know, we keep a very strict inventory around here.
00:30:14What is that?
00:30:16Supposed to mean you think I'd steal something?
00:30:20Of course, it's in your nature.
00:30:23I almost don't blame you, but if anything goes missing,
00:30:28I will blame you.
00:30:36If just one is unaccounted for, you will regret it.
00:30:49Thank you, James.
00:30:51So cool.
00:30:58Who said you could eat with us?
00:31:03I... I don't understand.
00:31:05How many times do I need to explain it to you, dollard?
00:31:11Look at you, dressed like a beggar.
00:31:15Don't eat somewhere out of my sight.
00:31:17But what is etiquette to sit here?
00:31:21She is a professional nanny.
00:31:24An entirely other breed.
00:31:26We pay top dollar to have her take care of our children.
00:31:30Do you think you're in the same league?
00:31:32I just...
00:31:33Aunt Nancy, just go eat in the kitchen.
00:31:35I see.
00:31:36I see.
00:32:01Actually, it's a toilet.
00:32:05Is that a dog bowl?
00:32:06Sorry, yeah, there's no other guest room.
00:32:08We'll just have to make do.
00:32:09We used to have a puppy in here, but we got rid of it.
00:32:12Mom hated the smell that it shed too much.
00:32:15Really?
00:32:16It made me sleep in a toilet room,
00:32:19crawled up next to it.
00:32:22Toilet bowl?
00:32:25There's really no other room, okay?
00:32:27I mean, if you want to clear more space,
00:32:29you can get rid of the trash.
00:32:30There's some old towels.
00:32:32You can lay those out.
00:32:33There's even water.
00:32:34A dog could survive in here.
00:32:35I don't know what else you need.
00:32:39Ashley, bring me some grapes.
00:32:41Now.
00:32:42Coming, mother.
00:32:46Oh, and don't forget to close the door.
00:32:48Mom hates the smell.
00:32:53Ashley, what happened to you?
00:32:56How can you do this to me?
00:33:04Oh, what are you talking about, Billy?
00:33:09You can't break up with me.
00:33:11Well, I don't consent.
00:33:15Oh, loser.
00:33:22Drugs, you piece of shit.
00:33:27What's happening?
00:33:29I heard Willow crying.
00:33:30She sounds scared.
00:33:32It's nothing.
00:33:34What's that?
00:33:38Sleeping pills.
00:33:39Are you drugging Willow?
00:33:41She's, she's just a baby.
00:33:43Give a crap.
00:33:44No, I'm not doing anything.
00:33:46You stupid bitch.
00:33:48No.
00:33:56What's going on in here?
00:34:02Ma'am, she was trying to give sleeping pills to Willow.
00:34:05I didn't, I swear.
00:34:07I walked in and...
00:34:11You're trying to hurt my grandchild.
00:34:13What's going on in here?
00:34:16Ashley, your aunt has tried to poison Willow.
00:34:20She's giving sleeping pills to her baby.
00:34:23I didn't.
00:34:25I swear, please listen to me.
00:34:27I, I, I, I didn't, it was her.
00:34:34I was trying to protect Willow.
00:34:37Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, you know my credentials.
00:34:41Why would I do this?
00:34:43You disgusting creature.
00:34:45I scold you a few times, and you take it out of my grandchild.
00:34:51No, no, no.
00:34:56Mother.
00:34:57Her arm is bruised.
00:34:58My poor Willow.
00:35:00How could somebody do something like this to you?
00:35:03Call the police.
00:35:04Now.
00:35:07This lady must have done it while I was in the kitchen.
00:35:09That's why Willow started crying.
00:35:11I came in here because I heard her crying.
00:35:15You have to believe me, liar.
00:35:18I'll strip you down myself and find the evidence,
00:35:21and then I'll hand you over to the police personally.
00:35:26I didn't do it.
00:35:28Leave me alone.
00:35:29You just pushed me.
00:35:32You dare lay a finger on me?
00:35:35Unlike a baby.
00:35:38I can fight back, you filthy cunt.
00:35:43Ashley, you know I could never do something like this, Steven.
00:35:48Maybe we should just...
00:35:50Just what?
00:35:51She's fucking trying to murder our child.
00:35:53Are you seriously sliding with her right now?
00:35:55No, of course not.
00:35:57Aunt Nancy?
00:35:58Just tell the truth.
00:36:00Was it you?
00:36:03Ashley?
00:36:05You don't believe me either.
00:36:08How could I do something like this?
00:36:11I'm Willow's grave.
00:36:13Shut up!
00:36:14You hurt her.
00:36:16Shut up.
00:36:18Now take all your clothes off.
00:36:28I'll do it myself.
00:36:55I'm happy now.
00:36:56Can I stop?
00:36:57No, take everything off.
00:37:01Do you need some help?
00:37:02No, no!
00:37:07No, no!
00:37:11I would never hurt a child.
00:37:15Aunt Nancy, if you didn't do it, just prove it already.
00:37:17Just take your clothes off.
00:37:19What?
00:37:22You'd have me strip completely.
00:37:29You're all in.
00:37:31Okay.
00:37:33I'll do it.
00:37:36I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:50Now, turn around.
00:37:56Definitely not my turn around.
00:38:00Now, do you believe me?
00:38:02This proves nothing.
00:38:04Although, it is rather amusing.
00:38:08Now, admit it.
00:38:10Did you abuse Willow?
00:38:12I did not.
00:38:14Mother, maybe she really didn't do anything.
00:38:17Ashley, why do you even defend her?
00:38:19She hurt her child.
00:38:19Exactly.
00:38:21You take the side of a would-be murderer.
00:38:24You can choose.
00:38:26Either her, or this family.
00:38:32Aunt Nancy?
00:38:36Please leave now.
00:38:42Ashley.
00:38:50Get out, you vile vagabond.
00:38:58What's this?
00:39:01You think you could steal from us as well?
00:39:08Give her back.
00:39:10Only a few measly bills.
00:39:13Only a broke woman like you would treat this like treasure.
00:39:17Mr. and Mrs. Anderson wouldn't even bother to pick this amount up off the ground.
00:39:21I used such measly bucks to raise two daughters.
00:39:25I was able to give my children a better life out of the country and in the city.
00:39:31I am sure they are glad to be away from you, hillbilly.
00:39:35I earned every cent I made through hard work.
00:39:39You think you're better than me?
00:39:41You think my money is worthless?
00:39:44I made a happy home.
00:39:46Earning this much every month.
00:39:49This is a month's income.
00:39:52Beautiful.
00:39:52No one here wants your paltry earnings.
00:39:57So get out.
00:39:59You delusional, impoverished...
00:40:14Mom!
00:40:16Mom?
00:40:20Mommy?
00:40:20What is going on here?
00:40:23Who are you people?
00:40:25How dare you treat her like this?
00:40:29Who are you people?
00:40:30How dare you treat her like this?
00:40:34Forget it, Lauren.
00:40:35I just want to leave.
00:40:37Mom, did they hurt you?
00:40:40No, no, they're my employers.
00:40:44That's right.
00:40:45She works for us.
00:40:47Who cares if we gave her a little lesson?
00:40:49And who the hell are you?
00:40:51I'm her daughter.
00:40:52What?
00:40:54Mom only had me.
00:40:56Well, and Lauren.
00:40:58But who knows what happened to that poor foster girl.
00:41:01You liar.
00:41:03She's just a kind woman I met in the city.
00:41:07She's been helping me.
00:41:08I told her she reminded me of my daughter.
00:41:13You really like clinging to younger women.
00:41:18No children of your own to scam, or did you run them off?
00:41:22Do not speak to her that way.
00:41:24Nancy is my family.
00:41:27She's still trash.
00:41:29The two of you deserve each other.
00:41:31A couple of lying beggars.
00:41:35Oh, beggars.
00:41:37Do you know who I am?
00:41:39We don't care who you are.
00:41:40Ever heard of Brooks' group?
00:41:42The Brooks' group?
00:41:44What?
00:41:44Do you clean their toilets or something?
00:41:47Oh, you really have no clue, do you?
00:41:52Sweetheart, I don't feel well.
00:41:54Can we just go home?
00:41:56Of course, ma.
00:41:57I'll take you home.
00:41:58You pathetic little bums.
00:42:01Bobbies.
00:42:14Ma, I'm here.
00:42:16Oh.
00:42:18Oh.
00:42:19Oh.
00:42:20Oh.
00:42:20Are you feeling all right?
00:42:22What did they do to you?
00:42:25Just say the word, and I'll make them pay.
00:42:27I'm, I'm, I'm okay.
00:42:29Ma, you said you were going to Ashley's to help out.
00:42:33What happened?
00:42:35They hired a nanny for, for Willow, so they didn't need me.
00:42:41And I found another job, but they don't need me either.
00:42:45Why are you putting yourself through this?
00:42:48Why won't you just stay with us?
00:42:50Honey, I've, I've already caused you enough trouble.
00:42:54Oh.
00:42:55No, you haven't.
00:42:56We would be honored to have you live with us.
00:43:09I want you to treat yourself.
00:43:12I mean it.
00:43:15Spend as much as you want.
00:43:17There's no limit.
00:43:20Lauren, why are you so good to me?
00:43:23I, I, I'm just your adoptive mother.
00:43:28What are you talking about?
00:43:30You're a Brooks now, and you belong with your kind.
00:43:37Listen, if you hadn't taken me in back then, I probably would have starved or frozen to death on the
00:43:43streets.
00:43:45And you gave everything, everything you had to me and Ashley.
00:43:51You have no idea how much I've missed you.
00:43:55You have no idea how much I've missed you.
00:43:55I love you.
00:43:56I love you, Ma.
00:43:57Always.
00:43:59I love you too, Lauren.
00:44:02Good.
00:44:03I'm glad we agreed.
00:44:06Oh, I meant to tell you.
00:44:09Next week, I'm taking you to a banquet.
00:44:12A banquet?
00:44:14No, I don't, I don't know about that kind of thing.
00:44:17And I, I'd only embarrass you.
00:44:19Oh, that's impossible.
00:44:24Because the banquet is for you.
00:44:26And if you don't want to stay here, I won't force you.
00:44:30I'm buying you a new house anyway.
00:44:41Lauren, I don't know about this whole house idea.
00:44:45I could just go back to where I'm staying.
00:44:47Ma, it's a gift I'm happy to give.
00:44:51If the roles were reversed, you would do the same.
00:44:54Please accept it.
00:45:01I'm sorry, Ma.
00:45:02I gotta take this call.
00:45:03Don't worry, I have someone waiting to assist you.
00:45:14My manager said Miss Brooke's mother would be coming today.
00:45:17Could this be her?
00:45:19If it is, I have to make a good impression.
00:45:27Good day, Miss.
00:45:28May I help you?
00:45:29I don't really know how to do this.
00:45:32I'd be happy to show you everything on offer.
00:45:35Care to sit?
00:45:35Please, this way.
00:45:37Yeah, please.
00:45:38Yeah, have a sit.
00:45:39Yes, yes.
00:45:41Here's some water.
00:45:45Oh, here's our brochure.
00:45:47All our properties are developed by Brooks Group.
00:45:50So, platinum tier quality.
00:46:01Ashley, I am so proud of you.
00:46:05This is the finest collection in the city.
00:46:10After the Brooks Group deal closes,
00:46:12I'll be able to afford the best of the best.
00:46:18Ashley, is that your Aunt Nancy?
00:46:22What is she doing here?
00:46:25I think it's about time.
00:46:27I stopped being so nice to her.
00:46:30How much is that one?
00:46:32It's only for 1.5 million.
00:46:361.5 million dollars.
00:46:39Yes, and a great value at that.
00:46:42If you're planning to live with your family,
00:46:44I'd recommend Augustine model.
00:46:487,500 square feet, 6 baths, 6 bedrooms at 18 million dollars.
00:46:53That's far more than I need.
00:46:5618 million?
00:46:58That old hag couldn't afford that much in 18 lifetimes.
00:47:03Uh, excuse me, who are you?
00:47:06Lucy Anderson, one of your top clientele.
00:47:10And that woman.
00:47:13Regrettably, she was our maid,
00:47:15and we had to fire her for misconduct.
00:47:17She's a liar.
00:47:18Don't waste any more time on her.
00:47:20That's right.
00:47:21She's a broke nobody.
00:47:22A grifter, cosplaying affluence.
00:47:25Wait, this isn't Miss Brooke's mother?
00:47:27Shit.
00:47:28I've been wasting my time with her.
00:47:30Nancy, what are you doing?
00:47:32Just leave town and go home already.
00:47:35Ashley, do you really hate me so much?
00:47:38Am I such a disgrace to you?
00:47:41What happened to that sweet little girl I used to know?
00:47:49So what?
00:47:50I'm not good enough to even exist in this city?
00:47:53Ashley, why does she care so much about what you think?
00:47:56It's not like she's your mom or something.
00:47:59Yeah.
00:48:01I don't know what you want from me.
00:48:03I was just being nice to you
00:48:05because you came all the way from the countryside.
00:48:07That's all.
00:48:08Some people, they just walk into the city
00:48:12and they think they belong in the city.
00:48:14The truth is, you're just a country bumpkin
00:48:20and you'll never be like us.
00:48:23You know what?
00:48:24That's right.
00:48:26I'll never be like you.
00:48:28I scrimped and saved my whole life
00:48:31so my family could have something better.
00:48:35You all think I'm poor.
00:48:38But I'm rich in good memories of my...
00:48:43of Ashley.
00:48:46Even if she's forgotten.
00:48:50You think I can't afford a home?
00:48:58That three-bedroom, two-bath model?
00:49:02Uh, Rivara model?
00:49:03Yes.
00:49:04I'll take it.
00:49:05Full payment.
00:49:06Now.
00:49:07Of course.
00:49:09I'll grab the weed card
00:49:10and the contract will be right over it, okay?
00:49:15Now, I'm wondering where you found
00:49:16this obviously fake car.
00:49:18Or maybe you stole it.
00:49:19Give it back!
00:49:20No, no, no.
00:49:21You want it now?
00:49:23You beg me.
00:49:24No, I have it.
00:49:25Whatever you're doing, stop it.
00:49:26Okay?
00:49:27But just embarrass yourself further.
00:49:28I know you don't have that kind of money.
00:49:30You do realize that these properties were developed by the Brooks Group.
00:49:35Elite only begins to describe their clientele.
00:49:39And this fake card isn't going to work.
00:49:41And this fake card isn't going to work.
00:49:42Shall we now add fraud to your list of crimes?
00:49:46Sorry, Lauren.
00:49:48Just this once, I want to be selfish to prove myself.
00:49:52I want to be selfish to prove myself.
00:49:55Sir?
00:49:57Please run the card.
00:50:00Of course, miss.
00:50:01Right away.
00:50:02Ashley, there's no way she has that kind of money, right?
00:50:05All set.
00:50:06Please swipe a card.
00:50:08That would be $1.5 million.
00:50:11Go ahead, darling.
00:50:13Swipe it.
00:50:16Mom probably doesn't even have 10 grand.
00:50:18Let alone a mil five.
00:50:21What am I doing?
00:50:23This is crazy.
00:50:24No matter what these people say, I can't spend Lauren's money like this.
00:50:29$1.5 million?
00:50:32I must be out of my mind.
00:50:35Actually, I'm sorry.
00:50:37I can't buy this yet.
00:50:39Seriously?
00:50:40Sorry, my friend.
00:50:42But what the fuck, lady?
00:50:43I knew she was bluffing.
00:50:44It's probably the cheapest listing and she can't even afford it.
00:50:49Enough.
00:50:49Get out of the way.
00:50:50We're here to buy.
00:50:51Show me your most expensive property.
00:50:54Absolutely.
00:50:57Don't have the card.
00:51:00Ashley's about to get a huge payout, aren't you?
00:51:03And we're going to leverage some funds.
00:51:07Show me the most expensive listing.
00:51:10But that's $18 million.
00:51:12Oh!
00:51:13Your point?
00:51:14If you're not willing to contribute to this family, then why did you even marry my son?
00:51:18Ashley, you know Mother's right.
00:51:20As always.
00:51:21Of course.
00:51:23I'm sorry.
00:51:24I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:51:26I can't give up on Ashley.
00:51:29Please forgive me.
00:51:31Pardon me, sir.
00:51:32I was here first.
00:51:34The Augustine model, I believe you called it.
00:51:38I'll take it.
00:51:40Charge the card.
00:51:56Come on.
00:51:57Are you kidding me?
00:51:58The card even doesn't work.
00:52:00No, no.
00:52:01That's impossible.
00:52:02There must be money on it.
00:52:03I told you.
00:52:05She has no money.
00:52:06Lady, why don't you just hitchhike your way back to your little farm?
00:52:10You're getting in the way of your bettors.
00:52:13She's not buying the house.
00:52:15We are.
00:52:16But I have one condition.
00:52:19Of course.
00:52:20Whatever you need.
00:52:21She's polluting the air.
00:52:23And if you want our business, slap her.
00:52:27Twice.
00:52:29But Mother, isn't that...
00:52:31You dare defend her again?
00:52:33No.
00:52:34Of course not.
00:52:37Just a moment.
00:52:38Security!
00:52:41Slap this woman hard.
00:52:44Yes, sir.
00:52:45Oh, no, no.
00:52:46I meant for you to slap her, but...
00:52:49Watching these two men do it is quite delightful.
00:52:53I'll allow it.
00:52:54Get your hands off me!
00:53:01Stop!
00:53:04What is the meaning of this?
00:53:07Sorry.
00:53:08Sorry.
00:53:10Look.
00:53:11It's the little tramp accomplice.
00:53:14Excuse me.
00:53:15We're in the middle of the situation here.
00:53:17You can make an appointment if you want to.
00:53:19Don't bother with her.
00:53:21She's a con artist, like the old woman.
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:25They're both loser nobodies.
00:53:28Exactly.
00:53:29Or are you about to claim your son's long-lost heir of the Rockefellers?
00:53:33Or perhaps a Brooks family's second cousin twice removed?
00:53:37Get rid of them now.
00:53:40Just a moment.
00:53:44Hello?
00:53:45There are three individuals causing a scene at the Riverfront Sales Office.
00:53:50Check the security footage to identify them.
00:53:52It's an elderly woman and a couple.
00:53:54They are blacklisted.
00:53:56Do not sell them any property at any price.
00:53:58They're permanently banned.
00:54:01Lady, you're embarrassing yourself.
00:54:04This is my curve.
00:54:05And what I say goes.
00:54:08Escort them out.
00:54:09Now!
00:54:11Ouch!
00:54:12My arm!
00:54:13Hey, Stormtrooper!
00:54:14Let her go!
00:54:15If you harm her, there'll be hell to pay.
00:54:20What on earth is going on in here?
00:54:24Who's creating such a ruckus?
00:54:28Oh, black card.
00:54:32I can't believe that I almost didn't recognize our most VIP clientele.
00:54:38VIP or not, no one should be treated this way.
00:54:54You idiot!
00:54:56You idiot!
00:54:57How did you not see the black card?
00:54:59Sir, please don't be fooled! The card was fake! The card didn't respond! It's a fake!
00:55:05You're a fool! That's a Black Prestige card! There's no pen! There's no limit!
00:55:11Regular machines can't even read it!
00:55:13You! You have managed to insult our most VIP clientele!
00:55:20You are FIRED!
00:55:23Please, sir, just...
00:55:29Um...
00:55:32Huh?
00:55:36Uh... Madam...
00:55:38Everything has gone through perfectly.
00:55:41The property now officially belongs to you, and we can begin processing your paperwork.
00:55:46Congratulations!
00:55:51I don't know what to say.
00:55:54Oh my, I don't have to say anything.
00:56:02What just happened?
00:56:04Oh my god...
00:56:06Are they part of the Brooks group?
00:56:13This can't be real. No way mom knows anyone in the Brooks family. But that woman she met, she's clearly
00:56:21loaded.
00:56:21Who is she?
00:56:25Listen, everybody...
00:56:26My Aunt Nancy has never left the countryside before. There is no way she has any connection to the Brooks
00:56:32group.
00:56:33This woman was sleeping on our floor, begging to be our maid and...
00:56:38Yeah, she'll lie about anything.
00:56:40Yeah.
00:56:41Truly, utterly pathetic.
00:56:43You absolutely have zero clue.
00:56:47I try to be patient, but...
00:56:50Shut your bitch mouth.
00:56:53I just know who you are.
00:56:56A low-class four, pretending to be part of this Brooks circle.
00:57:01Well, we're the ones that have signed with the Brooks group.
00:57:04You don't say.
00:57:06Mm-hmm.
00:57:07You're really working with the Brooks group?
00:57:09Of course.
00:57:12I know you wouldn't know what it means to partner with them, but...
00:57:16We're going to be the richest people in the city.
00:57:21Yeah.
00:57:21Even if you somehow could afford this place, you're still much lower than we are.
00:57:28Steven, show them.
00:57:29We're going to buy the second most expensive property on your list.
00:57:34Mother, let's not be hasty.
00:57:36Until I sign, can we really afford to...
00:57:39Silence, child.
00:57:41This old bitch has bought the most expensive property on the list.
00:57:44And now you're telling us that we can't buy the second.
00:57:48Sorry.
00:57:50Let's just...
00:57:51Swipe the card.
00:57:59Uh...
00:58:00Yes, sir.
00:58:01Yes, sir.
00:58:02Understood, sir.
00:58:04I'm afraid I'm unable to sell you this property.
00:58:06Or any other property, for that matter.
00:58:13Wait, what?
00:58:15Why?
00:58:16You're refusing to sell to us.
00:58:19You can't do that.
00:58:20Well, Sue.
00:58:21Well, we are a private business.
00:58:23Therefore, we have the power to choose our own clients.
00:58:26Perhaps you should be asking yourself, who was it that I pissed off?
00:58:31That...
00:58:32That doesn't make any sense.
00:58:33We didn't do anything wrong.
00:58:34My mom is a nobody.
00:58:37My mom is a nobody.
00:58:37Pissing her off doesn't count.
00:58:39Well, that's something that you can contemplate on your own time and somewhere else.
00:58:44Now, get the hell out of here before I have security throw you out.
00:58:49Sell or don't sell, we don't care.
00:58:52But you'll regret it.
00:58:53Once this Brooks Group deal has gone through, you're gonna come begging back to us.
00:59:00Yeah, you all just wait.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:02Let's go.
00:59:04I'm looking forward to seeing how things go with the Brooks Group.
00:59:07And I look forward to shoving the deal down your fucking throat.
00:59:12Wherever you are, I'll find you.
00:59:16I'm seeing you.
00:59:29Hey.
00:59:30What's wrong?
00:59:32I don't know.
00:59:35I feel like Mom's hiding something from me.
00:59:38She's probably just overwhelmed.
00:59:41This is all new to her.
00:59:43And she has been through a lot.
00:59:46You know, maybe when she gets to the banquet and she sees Ashley,
00:59:49and sees the surprise that you planned for her,
00:59:52she'll realize that everything's gonna be okay.
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:56Maybe you're right.
01:00:12If it's not Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, I hear you are working with the Brooks Group now.
01:00:17It's quite impressive.
01:00:18They say this whole banquet isn't your owner, Miss Anderson.
01:00:22Our little Ashley is quite exquisite.
01:00:26No, no, not at all.
01:00:28I am just so grateful to have the opportunity
01:00:30to show the world who the Anderson family is
01:00:32and what we're capable of.
01:00:34Miss Anderson, we hope you'll remember us
01:00:36and we won't forget you.
01:00:38Oh, thank you, thank you.
01:00:39Of course.
01:00:55Oh, Lauren, I really shouldn't be here.
01:00:59I'm not dressed right.
01:01:01I don't belong in a place like this.
01:01:04Mom, you belong here more than anyone else.
01:01:09This banquet is for you.
01:01:14Damn it.
01:01:15It's the office.
01:01:16I have to take this.
01:01:19Mom, go on inside without me, okay?
01:01:22William will be right here.
01:01:23No, no, no, no.
01:01:25I can't go in alone.
01:01:27You'll be fine.
01:01:28You deserve this.
01:01:30You deserve to be seen.
01:01:37I'll be right back.
01:01:50Who's that?
01:01:51Dunno.
01:01:52Never saw her before.
01:01:55She's here?
01:01:57Stuck.
01:01:58That old bag has no shame.
01:02:00She's beyond belief.
01:02:05Then see.
01:02:09Well, hello there.
01:02:10You look a little thirsty.
01:02:12Allow me.
01:02:35You look a little thirsty.
01:02:40Allow me.
01:02:46You think everything about me is cheap, don't you?
01:02:50As a matter of fact, I do.
01:02:53You could be dressed head to toe in Prada and you'd still be cheap underneath.
01:02:57No.
01:02:58No.
01:02:59No.
01:02:59No, not cheap.
01:03:00What?
01:03:03Do you even know what kind of an event this is?
01:03:08Stop following me.
01:03:10Go away.
01:03:11Who even is she?
01:03:13Doesn't look like someone Miss Brooks would invite.
01:03:16Who is she?
01:03:17She's just a maid we hired to clean floors and toilets.
01:03:22God knows how she's snuck in here.
01:03:24I am not a maid.
01:03:27Oh, that's right.
01:03:29Silly me, I forgot.
01:03:30We fired you.
01:03:32Now you're just an unemployed beggar that dresses up to make herself feel more important.
01:03:45Enough.
01:03:47I was invited.
01:03:49My Miss Brooks herself.
01:03:52She's my daughter.
01:03:56My adopted daughter.
01:04:01You really are crazy.
01:04:03You're totally delusional.
01:04:10You're Miss Brooks's mother.
01:04:13Then I must be her biological mother.
01:04:16Oh my God.
01:04:17Does that make her sisters?
01:04:21Is she for real?
01:04:23Dude, I know, right?
01:04:24She's nuts.
01:04:25Like someone that poor would even be allowed to adopt anyone.
01:04:29I know, right?
01:04:30I didn't even know Miss Brooks was adopted.
01:04:33That lady's either a liar or a loony.
01:04:36You people need to understand.
01:04:37This woman is dangerous.
01:04:41She's not just vain.
01:04:43She is vicious.
01:04:45She tried to kill my granddaughter.
01:04:56That's not true.
01:04:59It wasn't me.
01:05:10No.
01:05:11My bracelet.
01:05:13It's gone.
01:05:14It was on my wrist earlier.

01:18:42Oops. Accidents.
01:18:44Stephen! Stephen!
01:18:49Stephen!
01:18:51Leave me out of this.
01:18:53Stephen! Stephen!
01:18:55I didn't ask for this.
01:18:57It didn't do anything.
01:18:58Stephen!
01:19:00But you did ask for this.
01:19:03You son of a bitch.
01:19:19Oh, mommy.
01:19:23I know I fucked up.
01:19:27I just got caught up in all of this.
01:19:31It's been so hard.
01:19:34I was fine.
01:19:36I see that now.
01:19:38I was just awful.
01:19:41It could change for you.
01:19:43And for Willow.
01:19:44Don'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 like my own mother.
01:19:58Let me see.
01:20:00Oh.
01:20:03What a wild ride.
01:20:06You know what it's like for women of our age.
01:20:09We have to keep our appearances.
01:20:12Come on.
01:20:13Let's not dwell it past.
01:20:16Let's be friends, dear.
01:20:20Whatever you just say, mom.
01:20:22I'm with you.
01:20:23Let's be friends now.
01:20:23Let's be friends, dear.
01:20:28Let's be friends, dear.
01:20:50Ashley, I can see I've been a source of shame for you, and that's a hard thing for a mother
01:21:00to accept.
01:21:07Yes, I come from the countryside, and yes, I've led a humble life, which some might consider
01:21:22poor. 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
01:21:47is. I've made peace with that, and I'll be okay, really. But from now on, you are not my daughter.
01:22:07No. Mom, please don't do that. No. Mom, please don't do that. Please, 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.
01:22:37Furthermore, I will have my lawyer investigate all that you did to my mother, and you will
01:22:45be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
01:22:51No.
01:23:03This can't be real. We're finished. We're ruined.
01:23:08Stupid girl. This is all your fault. Destroy the family. I will kill you.
01:23:24Mom. Let's go home.
01:23:32No.
01:23:35No.
01:23:37No.
01:23:39No.
01:23:40No.
01:23:41No.
01:23:41Oh, no.
01:23:48This was your favorite. Try it. Use 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
01:24:27let's have a seat
01:24:29Good job.
01:24:30Let's have a seat.
01:24:36Perfect. Good job.
01:24:37Good job, honey.
01:24:41Do you know this lady, Willow?
01:24:43Is she like your mom?
01:24:45Of course not. My mom's on vacation.
01:24:47In Europe. No, I'm not, Willow.
01:24:50I am right here.
01:24:51You're mistaken, ma'am. I've never seen you before in my life.
01:24:54Yeah, let's go in this case. Let's go to the coffee shop.
01:24:56Just have some break.
01:25:03Madam, isn't that your daughter Miss Anderson?
01:25:06Would you like to go say hello?
01:25:08No need. I only have one daughter.
01:25:11Now let's go home.
01:25:26Nothing.
01:25:27What's your daughter Miss Anderson?
01:25:28We can go home, baby, and go up her head
01:25:29We are always a daughter Miss Anderson.
01:25:29We're not a daughter, baby.
