Short filmTranscript
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
00:00:19are 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.
00:01:16I brought you some of your favorites from home. Strawberry jam, turkey turkey, and I needed you
00:01:27with this scarf. Are you serious right now? What am I supposed to do with all of these? Do you
00:01:34have any
00:01:34idea who 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?
00:01:48No, Mom.
00:01:50I told everyone that you were traveling abroad and you just couldn't make it.
00:01:54I mean, now you just show up out of the blue. How am 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'm going to take you to the fanciest restaurant and go
00:02:15on a beach vacation.
00:02:17Thank you, sweetheart. I thought you would be happy to see me.
00:02:23Ashley.
00:02:27Who's this?
00:02:33This. 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?
00:02:43Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:02:46Okay, fine. But don't embarrass me. Remember, your aunt, Nancy.
00:03:05It's magnificent. My little girl is marrying into a whole other world.
00:03:12I hear she has no family attending the wedding. That's so sus.
00:03:17They say she comes from poor's.
00:03:19She's probably some country hick who somehow clued her way into the Anderson family.
00:03:28Well, what are you talking about?
00:03:30Who 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 up.
00:03:45Either Ashley is ashamed or mom abandoned her.
00:03:50Either way, it's a low-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, but she's rich in character.
00:04:06Who are you, anyway?
00:04:08You know, usually the janitors don't show up until after the wedding.
00:04:14Look at her clothes.
00:04:16My socks cost more than half the clothes set.
00:04:21Wait, wait. Don't tell me she's related to the bride.
00:04:25That would be... yikes.
00:04:27As a matter of fact, yes, I'm here for Ashley.
00:04:32Ha! I knew it.
00:04:36I almost feel sorry for Ashley.
00:04:39She worked so hard to 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 about 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 wouldn'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?
00:05:15You.
00:05:17You just standing there.
00:05:19Get back to work.
00:05:20Setting tables or whatever it is that you people do.
00:05:23I'm having a word with your manager about 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, you don't expect me to believe that you're on my list.
00:05:37Lucy, actually, yes.
00:05:38She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:41And with you, Lucy, it doesn't look like she belongs here.
00:05:47Well, someone's obviously mistaken.
00:05:50Because I went through the guest list myself and 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 of the bride and groom, they'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, then you've just pulled this off 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.
00:06:52Somebody had to teach her a lesson.
00:06:54I'm not here to cause trouble.
00:06:58I'm just here for the ceremony and to bring some gifts for the bride.
00:07:04Really?
00:07:05Let's see what delightful little treasures that you've dragged in here.
00:07:13Incredible.
00:07:16Preserves.
00:07:23Dried meat.
00:07:26And 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!
00:07:52I told you, but I can do what the fuck I love!
00:08:00I'm Ashley!
00:08:04Mother!
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.
00:08:23And what the hell are you?
00:08:25I don't know.
00:08:26Did she really say that?
00:08:28Of course.
00:08:30Did you really think you could come waltzing in here and ruining my son's wedding?
00:08:37You're not the first freeloading fraud that I've encountered.
00:08:42Don't worry, everyone.
00:08:44This 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?
00:09:06Are 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, a 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?
00:09:56Yes, 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.
00:10:27I just wanted to see Ashley happy.
00:10:31Happy? With you here?
00:10:40Well, maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:10:45Maybe this will cheer everybody up.
00:11:09Mother, she, she wouldn't even need 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.
00:11:32Good. Then I'll give you one more chance.
00:11:35Sure, Mother, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll have her leave now.
00:11:37Aunt 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.
00:11:56Stop wasting time. Give her a quick slap and let's move on.
00:12:02Ashley, look at me.
00:12:06What has happened to you?
00:12:08Look.
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.
00:12:50I can't believe you'd hit me.
00:12:55How could you?
00:12:57I knew you're...
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. That 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 tablered scandal.
00:13:25Ashley?
00:13:26How could you treat me like this after all these years?
00:13:29It's so pathetic.
00:13:32She's still acting like she matters.
00:13:41Say 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...
00:14:05I 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 cool this whole thing off?
00:14:17Ashley, come on.
00:14:18This is our big day.
00:14:20Are you siding with my mother or this vagabond?
00:14:23Do you even want to marry me?
00:14:26Of course.
00:14:28I didn't mean that at all.
00:14:33Please, just stop.
00:14:36Just tell them you were wrong.
00:14:37And leave quietly.
00:14:40For me.
00:14:42But what...
00:14:43What did I do wrong?
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.
00:14:57Okay.
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 called.
00:15:17Not bad.
00:15:18Well, since you came all this way, all by uninvited,
00:15:24let 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.
00:16:18I'm just going to leave.
00:16:27All right, now get out, before you taint this wedding any further.
00:16:35All right, I'll go.
00:16:41Congratulations, Ashley.
00:16:43I 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, I only wanted to see you happy. I still hope you will be.
00:17:54Miss Brooks, our client is waiting up home.
00:18:17It really is you.
00:18:23It's you, Lauren.
00:18:29Lauren, is it really you?
00:18:32Ma was always so kind to me. I 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.
00:18:46Everything was so confusing and I was so lost.
00:18:50Now I've got all this money and a new life, but God, I still miss Ma so much.
00:18:56I searched for you for years. I didn't know if you survived the hurricane.
00:19:04What happened?
00:19:07Mom, 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, never.
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. My 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.
00:20:11This 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?
00:20:24I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:20:26I should go.
00:20:27I'll only be in the way here.
00:20:30No.
00:20:31No.
00:20:32No, please.
00:20:33Stay.
00:20:34Lauren, I don't want to come between you and your boyfriend.
00:20:37Ma, you are not just some outsider.
00:20:41Okay?
00:20:41Forget him.
00:20:42Let's just go inside.
00:20:47Bye.
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 fiancé.
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, 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 fiancé?
00:21:18Yes, Mom.
00:21:19I'm doing well.
00:21:20You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:21:23No, that's more like it.
00:21:27Come on.
00:21:28Let'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 off on your own and you bring in this distant aunt to humiliate me.
00:21:47Mother, I'm sorry.
00:21:49Sorry doesn't cut it.
00:21:51You barely earn anything and you can't even afford a goddamn housekeeper.
00:21:57I could ask my aunt Nancy to help her around 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.
00:22:26Mom, I 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.
00:23:08Mom, 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 or much less live like this.
00:23:25It'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.
00:23:54Oh, the Andersons.
00:23:56I like 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.
00:24:28We 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.
00:24:54Cool.
00:24:54I'll text you the address.
00:25:00Okay, Mom.
00:25:00It's done.
00:25:01Just start with tomorrow.
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 needs me.
00:25:16Oh.
00:25:17Is she okay?
00:25:18Yes.
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, my mother's right.
00:26:03This wedding costs a fortune.
00:26:06I, um, I 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.
00:26:21Uh, sorry.
00:26:25Hello?
00:26:27The Brooks Group wants to partner with me?
00:26:31I, I get a $5 million commission?
00:26:34What?
00:26:38Mom!
00:26:39Steven!
00:26:40The Brooks Group, they want to work with me and I get $5 million!
00:26:44It's a miracle!
00:26:47Well...
00:26:50Well, 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!
00:27:02And this is going to triple out business value!
00:27:07Ashley, baby, I knew you could be here!
00:27:11Tell me, how in the world did you land a deal with the Brooks Group?
00:27:15I, honestly, I, I don't know!
00:27:18They, they said that 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, um, Aunt Nancy.
00:27:29I'm, I'm coming!
00:27:33Uh, hey.
00:27:35So, remember, you're my Aunt Nancy.
00:27:38If you want to stay here, don't forget that, got it?
00:27:41Shhh!
00:27:50Stop right there!
00:27:52Look at your shoes!
00:27:55Covered in mud!
00:27:56You dare to walk in like that?!
00:27:59Oh!
00:28:02Oh!
00:28:05Sorry.
00:28:06So, sorry.
00:28:08Now, take off your shoes, kneel down, and clean every inch that you stay.
00:28:18Then, you can enter.
00:28:22Oh!
00:28:25Mom's right, Aunt Nancy.
00:28:26Just hurry up and clean the floor.
00:28:50That's much more like it.
00:29:00That's much more like it.
00:29:02There's my itty-bitty baby.
00:29:06I'll go prepare it for me.
00:29:30Winnows!
00:29:31Winnows!
00:29:31Winnows!
00:29:32Who is mama's girl?
00:29:34Oh!
00:29:34A toy!
00:29:37There's a toy!
00:29:38That must be my granddaughter.
00:29:42Oh, sweet child, I'd stay here forever, just for her.
00:29:55Don't touch my granddaughter.
00:29:58She's my granddaughter, too.
00:30:04Ashley insists you know how to cook.
00:30:07We'll see about that.
00:30:09You 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.
00:30:21It's in your nature.
00:30:23I almost don't blame you, but if anything goes missing, I will blame you.
00:30:35If just one is unaccounted for, you will regret it.
00:30:58Who said you could eat with us?
00:31:03I 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.
00:32:00Ashley?
00:32:02This is...
00:32:03This is a toilet.
00:32:05Is that a dog bowl?
00:32:06Sorry, yeah, there's not a 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, cr-crawled 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, you can get rid of the trash.
00:32:31There's small towels.
00:32:32You can lay those out.
00:32:33There's even water.
00:32:34Our dog could survive in here.
00:32:35I don't know what else you need.
00:32:39Ashley?
00:32:40Bring me some grapes.
00:32:41Now!
00:32:42Oh, coming, Mother!
00:32:46Oh, and don't forget to close the door.
00:32:48Mom hates the smell.
00:32:52Ashley?
00:32:53Billy, what happened to you?
00:32:56How can you do this to me?
00:33:05What are you talking about, Billy?
00:33:09You can't break up with me.
00:33:11Well, I don't consent.
00:33:17Loser!
00:33:24Drug you, you piece of shit.
00:33:27What's happening? I heard Willow crying. She sounds scared.
00:33:32It's nothing!
00:33:34What's that?
00:33:38Sleeping pills? Are you drugging Willow? She's just a baby!
00:33:43Give it back!
00:33:44No! Our love is doing anything, you stupid bitch!
00:33:56What's going on in here?
00:34:01Ma'am, she was trying to give sleeping pills to Willow.
00:34:05I didn't, I swear. I 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 a baby.
00:34:23I didn't! I swear, please listen to me!
00:34:27I...
00:34:30I didn't...
00:34:32It was her!
00:34:34I was trying to protect Willow!
00:34:37Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, you know my credentials.
00:34:40Why 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! No!
00:34:56Mother! Her arm is bruised!
00:34:58My poor Willow!
00:35:00How could Sally do something like this to you?
00:35:03Call the police! Now!
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, you liar!
00:35:17I'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! Leave me alone!
00:35:30You just pushed me.
00:35:32You dare lay a finger on me?
00:35:35Unlike a baby.
00:35:37I can fight back, you filthy cunt!
00:35:43Ashley, you know I can never do something like this, Steven.
00:35:48Maybe we should just...
00:35:50Just what?
00:35:50She's fucking trying to murder our child.
00:35:53Are you seriously sliding with her right now?
00:35:55No, of course not.
00:35:56Uh...
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.
00:36:07How 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!
00:36:17Now take all your clothes off!
00:36:20I just fell!
00:36:25Stop laughing!
00:36:28I'll do it myself!
00:36:34God, we'll do it again!
00:36:37ah
00:36:38He is multiplied here...
00:36:40...
00:36:54I'm happy now. Can I stop?
00:36:58No. Take everything off.
00:37:01Do you need some help?
00:37:02No! Enough!
00:37:06No! Enough!
00:37:10I 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 your own.
00:37:31Okay. I'll do it.
00:37:36I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:39I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:40I'll do it, Ashley.

00:55:40The property now officially belongs to you
00:55:43and we can begin processing your paperwork.
00:55:46Congratulations.
00:55:51I don't know what to say.
00:55:54I 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.
00:56:15No way Mom knows anyone in the Brooks family.
00:56:18But that woman she met, she's clearly loaded.
00:56:22Who is she?
00:56:24Listen, everybody.
00:56:26My Aunt Nancy has never left the countryside before.
00:56:29There is no way she has any connection to the Brooks Group.
00:56:32This woman was sleeping on our floor, begging to be our maid and...
00:56:38Yeah, she'll lie about anything.
00:56:40Truly, utterly pathetic.
00:56:43You absolutely have zero clue.
00:56:46I tried to be patient, but...
00:56:50Shut your bitch mouth.
00:56:53I just know who you are.
00:56:56A low-class four,
00:56:58pretending 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.
00:57:10Of course.
00:57:11I 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.
00:57:20Yeah, even if you somehow could afford this place, you're still much lower than we are.
00:57:27Stephen, 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!
00:57:40This old bitch has bought the most expensive property on the list, and now you're telling
00:57:45us that we can't buy the second.
00:57:48Sorry.
00:57:50Let's just buy it.
00:57:52Swipe the card.
00:57:59Uh, uh, yes, sir.
00:58:00Uh, yes, sir.
00:58:02Understood, sir.
00:58:04I'm afraid I'm unable to sell you this property, or any other property for that matter.
00:58:13Wait, what?
00:58:15Why?
00:58:16You know, we're refusing to sell to... to us.
00:58:19You can't do that.
00:58:20Well, sue!
00:58:20Well, we are a private business, and therefore we have the power to choose our own clients.
00:58:26Perhaps you should be asking yourself, who was it that I pissed off?
00:58:31What's the... that doesn't make any sense.
00:58:33We didn't do anything wrong.
00:58:35My 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.
00:58:48Sell or don't sell, we don't care.
00:58:52But you'll regret it.
00:58:54Once this Brooks Group deal has gone through, you're gonna come begging back to us.
00:58:59Yeah, you all just wait.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:02Let's go.
00:59:03I'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, what's wrong?
00:59:32I don't know.
00:59:34I 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 going to be okay.
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:56Maybe you're right.
01:00:12If it's not, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson,
01:00:14I 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 to show the world
01:00:31who the Anderson family is and 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.
01:00:39Of course.
01:00:55Oh, Lauren, I really shouldn't be here.
01:00:59I'm not dressed right.
01:01:00I don't belong in a place like this.
01:01:04Mom, you belong here more than anyone else.
01:01:08This banquet is for you.
01:01:13Damn it.
01:01:15It's the office.
01:01:16I have to take this.
01:01:18Mom, 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?
01:01:51I don't know.
01:01:52Never saw her before.
01:01:55She's here?
01:01:57Stop.
01:01:58That old bag has no shame.
01:02:00She's beyond belief.
01:02:05Nancy.
01:02:09Well, hello there.
01:02:11You look a little thirsty.
01:02:12Allow me.
01:02:13Oh, crazy.
01:02:33I'd love you.
01:02:37legislators have women.
01:02:38Oh, she said.
01:02:40room. Oh, she
01:02:41said. Oh, she
01:02:43was so close. I was so
01:02:43looking for money. Yeah, I
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.
01:02:58No, no, 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.
01:03:38I'm not a maid.
01:03:43I'm not a maid.
01:03:45Enough.
01:03:47I was invited.
01:03:49My Miss Brooks herself.
01:03:52She's my daughter.
01:03:55My adopted daughter.
01:04:01You really are crazy.
01:04:03You're totally delusional.
01:04:09You're Miss Brooks's mother.
01:04:13Then I must be her biological mother.
01:04:16Oh, my God.
01:04:17Does that make us 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.
01:04:38This woman is dangerous.
01:04:41She's not just vain.
01:04:42She is vicious.
01:04:44She tried to kill my granddaughter.
01:04:56That's not true.
01:04:59It wasn't me.
01:05:02Shh.
01:05:09Oh, no.
01:05:11My bracelet.
01:05:12It's gone.
01:05:14It was on my wrist earlier.
01:05:19You.
01:05:21You have always been a thief and a fraud.
01:05:25Ladies and gentlemen,
01:05:26check your bags and your jewellery.
01:05:29Someone here has got sticky fingers.
01:05:32She's lying.
01:05:34I'm not a thief.
01:05:43Oops.
01:05:45Accident.
01:05:47Let's take a look inside your bag.
01:06:02You can't help yourself, can you?
01:06:05Gaze upon this damnable wretch and curse her.
01:06:15Please.
01:06:17Why are you doing this to me?
01:06:19Don't try to play the victim.
01:06:22Everyone here saw it with their own eyes.
01:06:26Ashley, your aunt is the worst.
01:06:28It's not true.
01:06:30I didn't do it.
01:06:31Ashley, you have to believe me.
01:06:35You just came here to ruin Ashley's big moment.
01:06:40Do you really think she's going to defend you now?
01:06:42Mom's right.
01:06:44I swear.
01:06:45If you run things with Miss Brooks and cost me this deal,
01:06:47I will never forgive you.
01:06:49Ashley, do you think I'm a thief to me?
01:06:51Stop talking.
01:06:53You are so selfish.
01:06:55Why do you have to come and crash the most important day of my life?
01:06:58Leave me alone.
01:07:01Maybe I should teach you a lesson on behalf of Miss Brooks.
01:07:04I'm sure she'd love to see it.
01:07:09Stephen, hold her down.
01:07:11Stop!
01:07:12Don't do this!
01:07:14You enjoy being a thief so much.
01:07:18I'll give you the thief's mark.
01:07:20I miss you so much as well.
01:07:23Ashley, please help me!
01:07:31Enough!
01:07:35Enough!
01:07:42Nancy, I'm sorry I'm late.
01:07:44Don't worry, I'm here now, okay?
01:07:46William, I made a mess.
01:07:49It's okay.
01:07:50Who's that?
01:07:51That suit's so expensive.
01:07:53Probably Miss Brooks' guest.
01:07:56Now it all makes sense.
01:07:58I wondered why she was so emboldened today.
01:08:01But she's found herself a sugar daddy.
01:08:04Or should I say a sugar son?
01:08:07Yeah, she's old enough to be his mom.
01:08:10These people are monsters.
01:08:12Nancy's enjoyed so much.
01:08:14It's unforgivable.
01:08:26Oh, Jay, you hate me.
01:08:33Are you out of your mind?
01:08:39What the fuck, man?
01:08:41You people are deranged.
01:08:42None of you deserve to be here.
01:08:50How dare you!
01:08:52Do you know who I am?
01:08:54Oh, I know exactly who you are.
01:08:58You're the people that have been abusing Nancy this whole time.
01:09:02So what?
01:09:04People like her?
01:09:05She's a nobody.
01:09:07Pathetic.
01:09:07People like her deserve to be stepped on.
01:09:10That's what they're there for.
01:09:13Miss Empire, we're the guests of Miss Brooks.
01:09:15You don't want to fuck with us!
01:09:16Yeah, I don't care who you are or what your relationship is with my...
01:09:21With her.
01:09:22I suggest you leave.
01:09:23Well, since none of you have any remorse, we won't go easy on you.
01:09:28You're threatening us.
01:09:30Do you know the power of the Brooks family?
01:09:33We are Miss Brooks' guest of honor.
01:09:39Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks has finalized the project agreement.
01:09:43Here's your contract.
01:09:44It just needs your signature.
01:09:45See?
01:09:47I warned you.
01:09:48I told you to leave.
01:09:49And now you're fucked.
01:09:53Sorry, Mom.
01:09:54But this contract means everything to me.
01:09:59Cancel the deal and cut ties with the entire family.
01:10:04Immediately.
01:10:07Uh, sir, this wasn't Miss Brooks' directive.
01:10:10I can't override her decision.
01:10:12I'm sorry.
01:10:14What happened?
01:10:16Don't have quite the pull you thought you had?
01:10:19Welcome to reality, boy.
01:10:23We already understand.
01:10:24No one fucked with us, got it?
01:10:30Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks made an inspired choice in you.
01:10:34You're truly impressive.
01:10:36I'm still so young.
01:10:44I think you owe me an apology.
01:10:52Don't touch me.
01:10:53Don't touch you.
01:10:54Or what?
01:11:03Nancy!
01:11:05Nancy!
01:11:07Nancy!
01:11:08Nancy!
01:11:09Nancy!
01:11:11Nancy!
01:11:12Nancy!
01:11:13Nancy!
01:11:17Nancy!
01:11:32Who did this?
01:11:44You.
01:11:46You're the guest I invited.
01:11:48You're Ashley.
01:11:49You're that woman in the sales office.
01:11:53Were you stalking us too?
01:11:54You see, I told you.
01:11:56These 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.
01:12:08That's Lorim Brooks.
01:12:09My God.
01:12:11And you heard what that woman just called her?
01:12:13I don't think they're actually enormous brugs.
01:12:18What is wrong with you people?
01:12:21They're all fake.
01:12:23Call the police, Stephen.
01:12:34How dare you publicly humiliate Ms. Brooks?
01:12:38Ms. Brooks?
01:12:42Ashley Morgan?
01:12:44Yeah, that's me.
01:12:47I 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.
01:13:11No, you can't do that, Ms. Brooks.
01:13:15Oh, wait.
01:13:16I...
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.
01:13:41I 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.
01:14:11Who is she?
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, I don't know what you're talking about, but it should have nothing to do with
01:14:50our contract.
01:14:51We're professionals.
01:14:57I can't handle this anymore.
01:15:00I shouldn't be here.
01:15:01I wasn't made for this big 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're 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...
01:15:33Ashley, 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?
01:16:05Who gave up everything?
01:16:09Everything to 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.
01:16:33And 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?
01:16:46Wait.
01:16:53Oh my God.
01:16:56You're Lauren.
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.
01:17:17This woman raised you.
01:17:20Gave her all for you.
01:17:23Provided a home full of love.
01:17:26And you denied her like she was nothing.
01:17:32Ungrateful brat.
01:17:34If she would betray her mother like that, how 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.
01:17:54Please.
01:18:00Miss Ruth.
01:18:01Miss Ruth.
01:18:02Miss Ruth.
01:18:04I'm so sorry.
01:18:06I hate you, Julia.
01:18:08Please, please give me another chance.
01:18:10Miss Ruth.
01:18:12We were wrong.
01:18:13We were very wrong, we're 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.
01:18:40Oops! Accidents!
01:18:44Stephen! Stephen!
01:18:49Stephen, help me!
01:18:51Leave me out of this!
01:18:53Stephen! Stephen!
01:18:54I didn't ask for this!
01:18:56It didn't do anything!
01:18:58Stephen!
01:19:00But you did ask for this, you son of a bitch!
01:19:19Oh...
01:19:21Mommy...
01:19:21I...
01:19:23I know I fucked up!
01:19:26I...
01:19:27I'm just gonna cut up in all of this!
01:19:30And it's been so hard!
01:19:34I was blind! I see that now!
01:19:38I was just...
01:19:41I could change for you!
01:19:43And for Willow!
01:19:44And 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...
01:19:56I'll treat you like my own mother!
01:19:59See...
01:20:02What 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 in the past!
01:20:16Let's be friends, dear!
01:20:17Yeah...
01:20:19Whatever you decide, Mom...
01:20:22I'm with you!
01:20:23I am!
01:20:25Thank you!
01:20:25I am...
01:20:25I'm with you!
01:20:39Scriptures!
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. Yes, 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 is. I've made
01:21:48peace 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.
01:22:12No. 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,
01:22:43and you will be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
01:22:51No.
01:23:02This can't be real. We're finished.
01:23:07We're all in.
01:23:08Stupid girl.
01:23:10This is all your fault.
01:23:12Destroy the family.
01:23:13I will kill you.
01:23:15Ah!
01:23:24Mom, let's go home.
01:23:32Ah!
01:23:38Ah!
01:23:39Ah!
01:23:40Ah!
01:23:42Ah!
01:23:42Ah!
01:23:43Ah!
01:23:43Ah!
01:23:48This was your favourite. 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.
01:24:08I used your soup. I used my coffee.
01:24:29I used my coffee.
01:24:30It's cold.
01:24:31It's cold.
01:24:33It's cold.
01:24:35It's cold.
01:24:37Hi there, 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 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.
01:24:56Just have some bread.
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.
