00:00:03Just like that, I became his secret girlfriend.
00:00:10From the very first day, the lines were drawn.
00:00:14Wesley Anderson.
00:00:16The undisputed king of campus.
00:00:18Every gross fantasy.
00:00:21And me?
00:00:22Lori Nielsen?
00:00:24Invisible.
00:00:25Or worse, planet.
00:00:28What is that on her face?
00:00:35If it isn't our celebrity, red-faced Lori.
00:00:39Hmm.
00:00:39Well, what's this big show about?
00:00:41Probably to get Wesley's attention.
00:00:44Wesley would never give you a glance in his entire life.
00:00:49Wake up.
00:00:50Someone like you shouldn't even breathe the same air as him.
00:00:53Oh, shut up, Ashley.
00:00:54You know, you're son-
00:00:54Yeah, please.
00:00:55Let's just go.
00:00:58Toodles.
00:01:03Don't listen to those harpies.
00:01:05Who says you don't have a shot?
00:01:07Three days.
00:01:08Okay, your shot comes in three days.
00:01:14Jen, this is ridiculous.
00:01:16There's like a million girls out there.
00:01:17I can't kiss all of them.
00:01:18Think of the children that need our help, Wesley.
00:01:21It's for children.
00:01:22Fine.
00:01:23But my lips are off limits.
00:01:24It's my final memory.
00:01:26Ugh.
00:01:27Fine.
00:01:28Cheek it is.
00:01:30Next!
00:01:42God, it's my turn.
00:01:57Hey, are you okay?
00:01:58Oh my God.
00:01:59Did you try to worship at his feet?
00:02:01Pathetic.
00:02:03Really?
00:02:04Really?
00:02:04Lori?
00:02:05Did you think that falling in front of him was going to be your big chance?
00:02:17What the hell?
00:02:22From that day, I felt that Lady Luck had finally smiled on me.
00:02:30Leslie, I know him, but I guess I-
00:02:34Okay, okay.
00:02:37Cut it out, okay?
00:02:39I can be your boyfriend.
00:02:40You can't tell anybody.
00:02:41Nobody can laugh.
00:02:42I thought that I was the luckiest girl alive.
00:02:47Until that day.
00:02:52He's gonna love this sports watch.
00:02:55Bro, are you seriously in love with a red-faced Lori?
00:02:59I mean, even though you, you know, lost the bed, it's been so long now.
00:03:03And we're about to graduate.
00:03:05Are you really gonna stick it with her?
00:03:09Of course not.
00:03:10Of course not.
00:03:17I'm gonna dump her after we graduate.
00:03:19Paris is way in, brother.
00:03:22So that's how my pathetic story ends.
00:03:28We never saw each other again after that.
00:03:35Alright, we will let you know the results of the interview within a week, Mrs. Nielsen.
00:03:40Just call me Carol.
00:03:42Alright.
00:03:43Carol, let us.
00:03:45Oh!
00:03:49Oh!
00:04:07Yes!
00:04:09Cody!
00:04:11Cody!
00:04:25He's back. Does he recognize me?
00:04:30Mr. Anderson, I am so sorry. She was here for an interview. I'll escort them out immediately.
00:04:36What am I expecting? Of course he won't recognize me.
00:04:40I'm so sorry. Mr. Anderson, this will not happen again. Cody, we're going. Right now.
00:04:51She's a single mother. Special case. This won't happen again.
00:04:56Why does she seem familiar?
00:05:00Cody, you can't just run off like that. Especially with your heart condition. What if something had happened to you?
00:05:05Mom, was that Dad? He looks just like this.
00:05:11No. See, that wasn't him. That was just someone who looks like him.
00:05:17He never wanted me. He would never want you.
00:05:21I will protect you from suffering the same humiliation I've endured. Some truths are better left buried.
00:05:30You've vanished since that day.
00:05:32I've been looking for you for seven years.
00:05:36Lori, where are you?
00:05:53Hello?
00:05:55Sorry. The number you dialed is out of service.
00:05:59Ms. Nielsen, this is City General Hospital.
00:06:02The $20,000 fee for this phase of cardiac treatment needs to be settled in full by next week.
00:06:07Okay. Uh...
00:06:09Sure. I will have the money.
00:06:14I must be seeing this.
00:06:16She couldn't be worried.
00:06:21Come on.
00:06:23Come on.
00:06:29What's up?
00:06:34Still wearing that cheap thing, huh?
00:06:36People are going to start thinking that the mighty Andersons have gone bankrupt.
00:06:40What do you want, Lucas?
00:06:41You've been back from Paris for, what, a week?
00:06:43Let's celebrate.
00:06:44Alright, I'm throwing you a welcome home party.
00:06:47No, I'm not interested.
00:06:49Oh, come on.
00:06:50Look, I've invited all of our graduation class, including your ex, um, what was her name?
00:06:56Laurie Nielsen?
00:07:00I'll leave you in bar tomorrow night.
00:07:02Eat sharp.
00:07:07Would she show up?
00:07:10Hey, Carol, any, um, plans this weekend?
00:07:14Try and get a coffee or something?
00:07:15Oh, um, sorry, I'm married.
00:07:21You mean your fake marriage to Eric?
00:07:23Once his grandma passes, you're signing those divorce papers.
00:07:26Why say no to a date?
00:07:27Because I am not here to date, I am here to make money.
00:07:30Cody.
00:07:33We're at a private party tonight.
00:07:35Real high rollers.
00:07:36And they've requested special attire.
00:07:38Put these on.
00:07:40I'm not going to wear that.
00:07:42I thought you needed money for your son.
00:07:45Either you put this on, or you walk out that door right now.
00:08:00Hurry up.
00:08:02They're here.
00:08:04They're here.
00:08:32Demolition.
00:08:32Demolition.
00:08:36I heard Wesley came back to take over the Anderson group.
00:08:39I haven't seen this guy in years.
00:08:42I kind of miss him.
00:08:43He was kind of a campus health group.
00:08:47I wonder if he's still single.
00:08:50Come on.
00:08:50That's none of your concern.
00:08:52Olivia is the only one who matches him.
00:08:55Exactly.
00:08:55You two were meant to be together.
00:09:00Shh.
00:09:01Oh.
00:09:02Welcome back, Wesley.
00:09:04I saved you a seat right next to you.
00:09:07Oh, it took you long enough.
00:09:10Still a king, huh?
00:09:11Something that should be.
00:09:13Remember in school, everyone wants to date him.
00:09:16Even that weirdo, Lori Nilsen.
00:09:18Oh, please.
00:09:20She was such a clown.
00:09:22Do you remember that day she popped straight into you?
00:09:25Oh, my God.
00:09:26Classic memory.
00:09:28So, what ever happened to her anyways?
00:09:31No one knows.
00:09:33She kind of just vanished after graduation.
00:09:35But who cares?
00:09:37Probably dead in a ditch somewhere.
00:09:41Say that again.
00:09:51I don't know who this big shot is, but if he isn't going to be huge, I'm going to kill
00:09:56him.
00:09:56If you really don't know, it's from Wesley Anderson, heir to the Anderson group.
00:10:01He's right over there.
00:10:10Hey, where are you going?
00:10:13Hey, we need more drinks here.
00:10:15What are you waiting for?
00:10:16Move.
00:10:21For Cody.
00:10:38Oh!
00:10:41I'm so sorry.
00:10:43Stop!
00:11:02Those eyes, how can they be so much like hers?
00:11:12Get your hands off of him!
00:11:15Are you looking to get fired, you idiot?
00:11:21Hey, you okay?
00:11:24Wesley, please, let me handle this for you.
00:11:28Why did she give me such a similar feeling to lure you?
00:11:31I have to know.
00:11:44Why does he always see me at my worst?
00:11:48Forget it.
00:11:50After tonight, you'll never have to see him again.
00:11:58Could it really be her?
00:12:00After all these years?
00:12:03I'm a dumper after graduation.
00:12:05Paris is way in.
00:12:22The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:28The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:31The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:39I must be losing my mind.
00:12:41She can't possibly be her.
00:13:01Well, what are you doing?
00:13:04Who are you?
00:13:06What?
00:13:06What is your name?
00:13:10Carol.
00:13:13Have we met before?
00:13:16Yeah.
00:13:18At your office?
00:13:20No. Before that.
00:13:23No.
00:13:25How would a nobody like me ever meet someone like you?
00:13:36Look, Mr. Anderson, about your suit.
00:13:39I'm really, really sorry.
00:13:41And I'll pay for it.
00:13:43She's not Lori.
00:13:45What was I expecting?
00:13:48I'm sorry.
00:13:49What?
00:13:51For stopping you and scaring you.
00:13:54So much like...
00:13:59Never mind.
00:14:01Why don't you allow me to drive you home?
00:14:05No.
00:14:07I'll manage.
00:14:11What, on that ankle?
00:14:13I don't think so.
00:14:14Plus, you think you're gonna ruin a $5,000 suit and just walk away?
00:14:19Consider your apology and mine.
00:14:22Let me drive you home.
00:14:38You're lying.
00:14:39Wesley is lying!
00:14:40No one can take him from me.
00:14:42You're so dead, bitch.
00:14:49Seven years.
00:14:51No trace.
00:14:54Did something...
00:14:56...happened to you?
00:15:02Hey, Lucas. Hey, look, I know you built up a network over the years. I need you to find out
00:15:06everything that happened to Lord Nielsen after graduation. Yeah, everything. All right, thanks, man.
00:15:16The final shortlist for the executive assistant position, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:24Even same last name.
00:15:26I want her.
00:15:36Hello?
00:15:37Ms. Nielsen? This is Anderson Corporation HR. Congratulations. You've been selected for the executive assistant position to Mr. Anderson himself.
00:15:47Work for him. After everything that happened, I can't.
00:15:56Lord, did you not get my text? I told you not to come. It's pouring out.
00:16:02That's state night. I didn't want to miss it.
00:16:04I did not go.
00:16:19I did not go.
00:16:21Oh, god.
00:16:57Will the father be here at your next prenatal checkup?
00:17:00No, he has no idea.
00:17:02Miss Nielsen, the father has a right to know.
00:17:06I think you should tell him.
00:17:19Hello?
00:17:21Wesley's phone.
00:17:23I should have known better than to hope.
00:17:26Then I won't humiliate myself again.
00:17:39Smith.
00:17:41What an honor.
00:17:53Hey there, sweetheart.
00:17:56Nice ass.
00:18:02I want her here tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp.
00:18:05Uh, um, I'm afraid that won't be impossible.
00:18:10Why not?
00:18:11She, uh, she declined the offer.
00:18:19Someone actually said no to you.
00:18:22Oh, this is priceless.
00:18:25Her reason?
00:18:27She didn't give a full reason, sir, but she did say.
00:18:32What?
00:18:34She said she'd be an assistant for anyone, just not for you.
00:18:42Oh, my.
00:18:44I need to meet her.
00:18:55You better back off right now or I will call the cops.
00:18:58Don't be like that, sweetheart.
00:19:00I just want to have some fun.
00:19:04Who's this?
00:19:05Your husband?
00:19:07Actually, that is my husband and he's on his way right now.
00:19:10Kara, are you okay?
00:19:14Let go of me.
00:19:16Kara, where are you?
00:19:20Get off of me.
00:19:22Save the resistance for the bedroom.
00:19:23Fuck off!
00:19:30What's going on here?
00:19:31They're harassing me.
00:19:36Is this how our staff treat our customers?
00:19:41Apologize.
00:19:41What?
00:19:42No, no way.
00:19:44Listen, Miss Smith owns this place.
00:19:46So if she says you're wrong, you apologize.
00:19:50Or you could lose your job.
00:19:52And that surgery might be a little brat.
00:20:00Sorry.
00:20:01I don't think that was nearly enough.
00:20:04I did what you asked.
00:20:06Shh.
00:20:07Shh.
00:20:09Shh.
00:20:14Shh.
00:20:15Shh.
00:20:16Shh.
00:20:18Shh.
00:20:19Shh.
00:20:21Shh.
00:20:22Let me help you get dry, baby.
00:20:28Die, bitch.
00:20:42Get the fuck out!
00:20:49This is unacceptable.
00:20:51We must tighten security.
00:20:53I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:20:54Are you-
00:20:54You can leave, too.
00:20:55Shh.
00:20:57Oh, my God.
00:20:58Um, thank you.
00:21:00Mr. Morrison.
00:21:02What are you doing here?
00:21:03You said your husband was on his way, so...
00:21:06I-I didn't know that you were the one who was calling.
00:21:12I was just trying to scare them.
00:21:14Well, where is this husband of yours?
00:21:16Does he always let you handle situations like this alone?
00:21:20He's working abroad.
00:21:25Oh, my God, your arm.
00:21:28Wait, uh, don't look.
00:21:29You'll get crazy if you see blood.
00:21:37Oh, my God, your arm.
00:21:40Wait, uh, don't look.
00:21:42If the mighty Wesley Anderson faints because of a little blood, then everyone's gonna know
00:21:47your secret.
00:21:52What are you doing?
00:21:54How did you know I got squeamish about blood?
00:21:56Nobody else would cover my eyes like that.
00:22:00Is it you, Lord?
00:22:07Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:10My son, he gets dizzy when he sees blood, so...
00:22:15Because it's just a force of habit.
00:22:19Why did you refuse the job?
00:22:22I'd be an assistant for anybody except him.
00:22:25Why?
00:22:25Uh, that.
00:22:27Um, oh.
00:22:33Carol, you need to come home now.
00:22:35Cody collapsed.
00:22:36What?
00:22:37I'll be right there.
00:22:40This is urgent.
00:22:41We've already prioritized him to the highest level.
00:22:44Prep him for surgery.
00:22:45Immediately.
00:22:46We do have a donor heart that matched him, but our lead surgical team's currently in another
00:22:50procedure.
00:22:51We're critically short-staffed.
00:22:52Well, there must be someone else.
00:22:54Please.
00:22:54Get the best cardiac team in here right now.
00:22:56I'll pay for all the expenses.
00:22:58Yes, Mr. Anderson.
00:22:59Right away.
00:23:06The surgery was a success.
00:23:10Thank you so much.
00:23:14Mr. Anderson, I don't even know how to put into words how grateful I am.
00:23:20My office.
00:23:21Tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock.
00:23:24Don't be late.
00:23:31All right, you will manage Mr. Anderson's entire schedule.
00:23:36Emails, meetings, even his lunch.
00:23:39Okay?
00:23:40She gets to be that close to Mr. Anderson all day.
00:23:43Just look at that face all day.
00:23:45Lucky.
00:23:49Familiarize yourself by current schedule and this week's agenda.
00:23:53Of course, Mr. Anderson.
00:24:02She's working for him?
00:24:04That's a social performing bitch.
00:24:10Get her out.
00:24:13I don't care how.
00:24:16Make it look like she messed up.
00:24:22Carol, hi.
00:24:24Mr. Anderson needs a smile at home tonight.
00:24:26Just place it on his home office desk.
00:24:28Okay.
00:24:29Of course.
00:24:33Mr. Anderson never lets anyone in his study.
00:24:37Tomorrow, she'll definitely get fired.
00:25:04Oh my god.
00:25:05I'm so sorry.
00:25:07I was just dropping this off.
00:25:08I had no idea that you were going to be home.
00:25:10I...
00:25:10I...
00:25:12Wesley?
00:25:13Are you ready for our date?
00:25:16God, not her again.
00:25:17Oh!
00:25:20What are you doing?
00:25:21Shh!
00:25:22Wesley, are you here?
00:25:33What the hell?
00:25:36What are you...
00:25:38It is, I should see it.
00:25:40See yourself out.
00:25:42Ow!
00:25:48Okay, she's gone, so your little performance could be over.
00:25:53Get off of me, baby.
00:25:54Mr. Anderson, I'm your assistant.
00:25:57Next time you want to scare off a date, hire someone else.
00:25:59I'm not your prop, okay?
00:26:01Carol, look, it's not like that.
00:26:02Let's just...
00:26:23What do you think you're doing?
00:26:27What do you think you're doing?
00:26:29I was just putting the files on.
00:26:31Who said you can be in here?
00:26:33I...
00:26:34Ashley told me to...
00:26:35Enough!
00:26:39I am sorry.
00:26:40Mr. Anderson, it will not happen again.
00:26:47Did you just take a photo of me?
00:26:51Mr. Anderson, I know that we're a secret.
00:26:55I wasn't going to show anyone.
00:26:59You don't have to steal moments, Lori.
00:27:09Carol, look up.
00:27:28Hey, I tracked down some information about Lori.
00:27:31She was in a terrible car accident,
00:27:33and I heard she was severely injured trying to save her child.
00:27:36A car accident?
00:27:38When?
00:27:39Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:39She has a child?
00:27:41Where are they?
00:27:45Where are they?
00:27:46I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:27:47She dropped off the grid after that.
00:27:49She just vanished.
00:27:51No, I need you to keep looking.
00:27:53Find her whatever it takes.
00:28:00Carol, my office, please.
00:28:06What?
00:28:08She didn't get fired?
00:28:10I need you to keep going.
00:28:16Carol, listen.
00:28:17About last night.
00:28:19Wesley!
00:28:20Who the hell was that woman at your house last night?
00:28:23Mom, right now is not the best time.
00:28:25Are you seeing someone?
00:28:26Who is she?
00:28:27Who was that woman?
00:28:29Who is she?
00:28:31He's right behind you.
00:28:39No, it's not like that. I'm his assistant. I'm Mary.
00:28:44I was dropping off a file. That's all.
00:28:47You heard her. She's my assistant.
00:28:50You can go now, assistant.
00:28:57Wesley, don't tell me you're still hung up on the ex-girlfriend from college.
00:29:01Are you?
00:29:04The ex-girlfriend? Could that mean me?
00:29:08Carol?
00:29:11A moment, please.
00:29:17Actually, Mom, yes, I am. There's no other woman besides Lori.
00:29:20Ugh, you're insane. She's been gone, vanished for years.
00:29:24Look, I don't care. I will find her no matter what it takes.
00:29:27You- Mom, look at me. I'm gonna be late for a doctor's appointment.
00:29:31We need to go. I'm not finished.
00:29:33I'm late. Mom, please.
00:29:36The book continues.
00:29:45Oh, with his attitude, I may never get a grandchild. God knows how much I really want one.
00:29:55Excuse me, ma'am. You dropped this.
00:29:56Oh, my goodness. This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:03This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:06He had one girlfriend at university, didn't he?
00:30:09I mean, could this boy be their child?
00:30:12Mom, please. There's no way. Wesley would never. Not with her.
00:30:17There you are. Come on, let's go back to the ward.
00:30:23No, these figures are unacceptable.
00:30:35Okay, who eats fries with yogurt? That's disgusting.
00:30:39It's delicious. My secret recipe. Try it.
00:30:43Why did you use yogurt?
00:30:49Yeah, sorry. They were out of ketchup.
00:30:52So I used yogurt, but if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:30:59So I used yogurt, but if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:31:03No, it's fine.
00:31:08Sir, could I leave work early today? My son is getting discharged from the hospital.
00:31:14Sure. I'll drive you.
00:31:24Mom, I forgot my teddy bear in the room.
00:31:26That's okay. I'll go back and get it.
00:31:29Okay.
00:31:29Stay right here.
00:31:32Wesley, I wish you were my dad.
00:31:35Why do you say that?
00:31:36I like you, and you look very much like him.
00:31:38My dad.
00:31:39Want to see a photo? I can show you.
00:31:42Oh, um...
00:31:44Sure, okay.
00:31:54Okay.
00:31:55Uncle left it at home.
00:31:56Oh.
00:31:57It's okay.
00:31:59Don't tell my mom.
00:32:00She said I'm not allowed to talk about my dad with anyone.
00:32:03Okay.
00:32:05Yay!
00:32:08Everything okay?
00:32:10What were we talking about?
00:32:12I was just inviting Uncle Wesley to dinner tonight.
00:32:16Honey, Mr. Anderson is a very busy man, and I'm sure he has pets tonight.
00:32:22Not tonight.
00:32:24Yay!
00:32:24Yay!
00:32:29I found a picture.
00:32:31Mom hides it.
00:32:35Mom moved it again.
00:32:37It's okay.
00:32:38We can try again another time.
00:32:41Shh.
00:32:54Oh!
00:32:57Graduation mug.
00:32:58Come on, it's so cheesy.
00:33:00Please?
00:33:01All right, fine.
00:33:03Fine.
00:33:03You can get whatever you want.
00:33:08Okay.
00:33:09Dinner's ready.
00:33:10Cody, go wash your hands.
00:33:18Who are you, really?
00:33:21Why are you always asking me this question?
00:33:24I'm Carol.
00:33:26Why do you have this mug?
00:33:28Because I graduated from that school.
00:33:32It's a souvenir.
00:33:34You went to business school.
00:33:35I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:40You went to business school.
00:33:42I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:44No, I went to school languages.
00:33:47I just...
00:33:49It's a really big campus.
00:33:50You probably wouldn't have put in to me.
00:33:53It's all in my resume.
00:33:54You can check, Mr. Anderson.
00:34:01Hey.
00:34:03All right, all right.
00:34:05Whatever you want, sweetheart.
00:34:06Okay.
00:34:08Look, you can clear my schedule tomorrow.
00:34:10And you can take the day off if you want to hang out with Cody.
00:34:12Oh, um, thank you.
00:34:14It's very generous.
00:34:19All right, sweetie.
00:34:20Pick out anything you want.
00:34:22It's a celebration for getting out of the hospital.
00:34:25Ooh.
00:34:28Everyone available.
00:34:29Drop what you're doing.
00:34:30All hands on deck in the VIP lounge now.
00:34:40All right, sweetheart.
00:34:42Pick out whatever you want.
00:34:43I will buy you everything.
00:34:45Come here.
00:34:50Lucky little girl.
00:34:52I've heard she's Mr. Anderson's secret daughter.
00:34:55Huh?
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:57Rumor is he's never gotten over some ex-girlfriend from college.
00:35:01That's her kid.
00:35:02He spoils her rotten.
00:35:04Totally daddy's girl.
00:35:07So the woman on the phone, that was her.
00:35:11The one you never forgot.
00:35:14It was never me.
00:35:18They even have a child together.
00:35:23Hey, Carol, let me drive you home.
00:35:26Uh, no, thank you, Mr. Anderson.
00:35:29I'll manage.
00:35:30Carol, wait.
00:35:36What's wrong?
00:35:37Nothing.
00:35:38It's just my husband.
00:35:44Hey, Carol.
00:35:45Got some great news.
00:35:47I'll be back next week.
00:35:48Oh, that's great.
00:35:50Okay.
00:35:51I will.
00:35:52Bye.
00:35:59Is there anything else, Mr. Anderson?
00:36:03No.
00:36:04You can go.
00:36:08What is wrong with me?
00:36:10That felt like jealousy.
00:36:13No way.
00:36:14Lori, where are you?
00:36:17Uh, Wes.
00:36:18I, um...
00:36:20I found her.
00:36:21Oh, yeah?
00:36:23You're gonna have to prepare yourself.
00:36:25It's, um...
00:36:27It's not good.
00:36:28Just say it, Lucas.
00:36:30I'm sorry, man. She's gone.
00:36:32She didn't survive the accident.
00:36:50I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:36:50Wess, man, you have to...
00:36:52You have to move on.
00:36:55I'll just go, Lucas.
00:36:57You're gonna be alone.
00:36:58Okay.
00:37:03Wes is still obsessed with finding this girl Lori after all this time.
00:37:08That's crazy, right?
00:37:09Mm-hmm.
00:37:11All right. Well, I gotta hit the head. Don't drink all the good stuff, Rhonda.
00:37:15Sure.
00:37:22Girls, we can't let him keep going on like this.
00:37:25That bitch needs to be wiped out completely.
00:37:28How about we let him find her dead?
00:37:31We give him a death certificate.
00:37:34Do it. Make it convincing.
00:37:59Mr. Anderson, it's been weeks. We really can't postpone this board meeting any longer.
00:38:11Mr. Anderson, what is that?
00:38:14Searched for her for seven years.
00:38:16How could she just be gone?
00:38:20Who?
00:38:21The mother of his secret daughter?
00:38:24He really loved her that much.
00:38:28I'm so sorry.
00:38:31It means she wouldn't want to see you like this.
00:38:47You have to shape up, okay?
00:38:49You have a company to run. You have people who depend on you.
00:38:52Lori once did the same thing. Why is she so much like her?
00:38:57Unless, maybe Lucas was wrong.
00:39:02I'm sorry. I hear it. Turn off.
00:39:17Just tell me, who are you?
00:39:22Mr. Anderson, everyone is waiting for you at the office for this meeting.
00:39:26Am I still lying to myself?
00:39:29I'm such an asshole.
00:39:35My apologies.
00:39:37You're right.
00:39:38I'll get ready.
00:39:44I'll get ready.
00:39:46Carol.
00:39:48Carol, wait.
00:39:49What do you say we grab dinner tonight?
00:39:51As a way of saying thank you for that wake-up call today?
00:39:58Please don't get that real staring.
00:40:01Wesley!
00:40:02Hey, girl.
00:40:06It seems like you have prior plans, Mr. Anderson, so I will just see myself.
00:40:11Wait, wait, wait.
00:40:13What about tomorrow, then?
00:40:16Is this your new girlfriend?
00:40:28Oh, um, no, no, sweetie. I'm just your father's assistant.
00:40:34You, no, he's not my dad. He's my uncle.
00:40:38This is Sarah, my sister Jennifer's daughter.
00:40:41So, shall we go?
00:40:43We can pick up Cody along the way.
00:40:45Dinner's on me.
00:40:48Yay.
00:41:00That fucking bitch.
00:41:03He actually took her out to dinner.
00:41:06Shh.
00:41:25Wesley, are you falling for Carol?
00:41:34Sarah, you don't have to ask that.
00:41:42Got you, bitch.
00:41:44Did you really think that you belonged at his table?
00:41:48I mean, you're just a piece of trash.
00:41:53Look, open the door. Let me out.
00:41:55Easy there. The phone's just getting started.
00:42:06Easy there.
00:42:12Now, how does that feel?
00:42:14This is what you get for trying to save Wesley.
00:42:17Ladies, strip her.
00:42:37Why is mom taking so long?
00:42:45Mom?
00:42:46Let me go!
00:42:47Mom?
00:42:48Mom, are you in there?
00:42:52Shut your mouth, you little prat.
00:43:00Sarah, where did Cody go?
00:43:01He went to find his mom.
00:43:04You stay right here, okay?
00:43:08Move! My mom's in there!
00:43:10You misheard! Now get lost!
00:43:16You annoying little rat!
00:43:25What's going on?
00:43:27Wesley, I...
00:43:29It was an accident.
00:43:30This little boy was trying to go into the women's restroom.
00:43:34That's all.
00:43:35Cody, are you okay?
00:43:36What's wrong?
00:43:37Mom is crying in the bathroom.
00:43:38She can tell...
00:43:39Shh!
00:43:41Wesley, wait!
00:43:42No! Wait!
00:43:44Shit!
00:43:45Mr. Anderson, it's gone!
00:43:46Shut up!
00:43:51I won't let you get away with this.
00:43:53You'll both pay.
00:44:18I'm sorry. I was checking your temperature.
00:44:23Uh...
00:44:23I'm sorry. I was checking your temperature.
00:44:24I should go.
00:44:26Wesley...
00:44:28Um...
00:44:31For everything.
00:44:45Yeah, I have feelings for her, bro. For Carol.
00:44:48Yes!
00:44:50Uh...
00:44:50Finally.
00:44:51We're moving on.
00:44:52Yeah, but are they real feelings, or is it just because she feels familiar?
00:44:57Who cares?
00:44:58Who cares?
00:44:58Dude, if she makes you feel happy, that's all that matters.
00:45:00Go for it.
00:45:01Maybe she's married to me.
00:45:03She's what?
00:45:04And she has a kid.
00:45:06Uh...
00:45:06Married, huh?
00:45:08Um...
00:45:09Have you... have you met her husband yet?
00:45:13No, actually.
00:45:14But I've been to her house, and...
00:45:17I just don't really feel like she lives there.
00:45:19I don't know.
00:45:20The whole thing is kind of weird.
00:45:23That is suspicious.
00:45:24But... but who would lie about having a husband?
00:45:27If that's the case...
00:45:28She's definitely hiding something.
00:45:31Actually...
00:45:32I've got a plan.
00:45:47Need a hand?
00:45:48Uh, no! No, you're a guest. Just relax, I got this.
00:45:53I don't see a spare light bubble around. You sure you don't need one?
00:45:57Uh...
00:45:58Actually...
00:45:59Yeah.
00:46:00I think they're in the cabinet drawer in the study.
00:46:04Okay, you got it.
00:46:05Thanks.
00:46:14Is that her husband?
00:46:17Hi.
00:46:19Why are you so nervous?
00:46:20What's in there?
00:46:23Uh... nothing.
00:46:24Can you do everything yourself?
00:46:26Did your husband never plan on coming home?
00:46:29He's really... busy... working abroad.
00:46:33Do you even have a husband, Carol?
00:46:36Because I don't see...
00:46:37any photos of the two of you anywhere.
00:46:40Shh...
00:46:41Careful.
00:46:47I should get that.
00:46:59I'm home early.
00:47:01Surprise!
00:47:10And this is...
00:47:15Mr. Anderson.
00:47:19My... boss.
00:47:20Eric!
00:47:21Carol's husband.
00:47:22Pleasure to meet you.
00:47:23Would you like to stay for lunch?
00:47:26No, I was just leaving.
00:47:32The transfer came through.
00:47:34I'm based in LA now.
00:47:35Oh, that's...
00:47:36That's great.
00:47:38I'm looking for an apartment, so...
00:47:40I'll move out soon.
00:47:41No rush.
00:47:42Actually, you two can stay as long as you need.
00:47:54Hey, Carol.
00:47:58Hello?
00:48:00What?
00:48:02I'll be right there.
00:48:12Why did you start that fight, Cody?
00:48:14They said I didn't have a dad.
00:48:16That, I was lying.
00:48:18Your dad's just working far away.
00:48:20But he's back now, right?
00:48:23Hey, come on.
00:48:24You told me he looked like me.
00:48:25I'm better looking than he is.
00:48:27No, he's not.
00:48:28What?
00:48:30Eric isn't my real dad.
00:48:33I want to tell you a secret.
00:48:34My mom and Eric are not...
00:48:37Cody!
00:48:39What did I tell you about fighting?
00:48:41It's never okay.
00:48:43He was provoked.
00:48:44That other kid said some cruel things to him.
00:48:47Honey.
00:48:48You know we can't solve problems with our fists.
00:48:57Why don't you guys just talk it out?
00:48:59I think this kid needs to apologize to Cody first.
00:49:02Before we discuss anything else.
00:49:04My son was just steady.
00:49:06A fact.
00:49:07Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:12My son was just steady.
00:49:15A fact.
00:49:16Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:18I am his father.
00:49:20You apologize.
00:49:22Now.
00:49:24Or what?
00:49:25Or you'll deal with the full force of the Anderson Mingleton.
00:49:30Oh God.
00:49:31He is Wesley Anderson.
00:49:34A simple misunderstanding.
00:49:37Apologize to the boy, dear.
00:49:39Honey.
00:49:40Apologize.
00:49:48Hey Cody.
00:49:49You did a really good job at apologizing to that little boy today.
00:49:53But as a reward, I'll take you to get your favorite toy tomorrow.
00:49:57Yes!
00:49:59Alright.
00:49:59I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
00:50:03Mom.
00:50:04Can Wesley be my dad?
00:50:10What?
00:50:10Uh, um.
00:50:12Oh.
00:50:13You're back.
00:50:15Hey, I made reservations at that Italian place for tomorrow night.
00:50:18Would you want to go?
00:50:20We can't.
00:50:21We have plans with Uncle Wesley tomorrow.
00:50:25Of course.
00:50:27Another time then.
00:50:37Okay, sweetie.
00:50:38Uncle Wesley is on his way.
00:50:39She'll pick out anything you want.
00:50:40Just pick one thing.
00:50:43Okay.
00:50:46Hello?
00:50:49Yeah, hi.
00:50:50I was hoping to schedule a consultation to discuss divorce proceedings.
00:50:56I heard that little brat was claustrophobic.
00:51:01Get ready for hell.
00:51:03You little brat.
00:51:04Yeah, thank you so much.
00:51:06Bye.
00:51:07Cody!
00:51:09Cody?
00:51:12Cody?
00:51:14Hey, what's going on?
00:51:16I can't, I can't find Cody.
00:51:17What?
00:51:19Hey, are you looking for your son?
00:51:21Yeah.
00:51:22Apparently there's a kid passed out in the storage room.
00:51:38He's okay.
00:51:39He just fainted from a panic attack.
00:51:42He has claustrophobia.
00:51:44So, you need to avoid getting him into situations that have that trigger.
00:51:51I have that too.
00:51:52Another coincidence?
00:51:58Hey.
00:52:00I'll be be here awake.
00:52:02Are you hungry?
00:52:04Can I have a hot dog?
00:52:08I'll go get you one, buddy, okay?
00:52:11Hey.
00:52:14Carol, I got your favorite tacos.
00:52:23Thanks.
00:52:24I want a hot dog.
00:52:29Mr. Anderson, my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:52:36Well, I gotta go.
00:52:39Wesley, I...
00:52:39I'll see him out.
00:52:53I appreciate you looking after Carol and Cody.
00:52:58But as her husband, I'll handle things from here.
00:53:01Funny.
00:53:02Didn't need to handle it for quite a while now and you're nowhere to be found.
00:53:05From what I hear, you're not even Cody's real father.
00:53:13So what if I'm not Cody's biological father?
00:53:16I'm still Carol's husband.
00:53:18And you.
00:53:20Better stay away from my wife.
00:53:22I don't care whose wife she is.
00:53:24Either you make her happy, or I will.
00:53:27No.
00:53:34Carol?
00:53:35This past few months, I...
00:53:37I know it started as an arrangement.
00:53:39But my feelings...
00:53:48Great.
00:53:49You're home.
00:53:51Carol, there's something I need to tell you, I...
00:53:53Eric, I need to tell you something first.
00:53:56Thank you for helping us when we had nowhere to go.
00:54:01I feel like we have been bothering you for...
00:54:06a while now.
00:54:09Um...
00:54:11Perhaps it's time we get a divorce.
00:54:22Is...
00:54:23Something...
00:54:25Wrong?
00:54:25Is now a bad time?
00:54:28No.
00:54:29It's fine.
00:54:30Sure.
00:54:31I'm sorry.
00:54:42Oh Eric...
00:54:46I'm so sorry.
00:54:48Shhhhhhh...
00:54:51Don't be.
00:54:53I just want you to be...
00:54:55Happy.
00:54:57Whenever you're ready, just let me know. I'll sign the papers.
00:55:03Thank you. We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:35Thanksgiving is coming up. Sarah would love it if you and Cody joined us. No pressure, just...
00:55:42Um, that sounds great. We'll be there.
00:56:12She got divorced.
00:56:24Carol, where are you? I need to see you now.
00:56:28Now? Uh, I can come to the office.
00:56:30Look, that's fine. I'll meet you there.
00:56:39Hey, sorry, traffic.
00:56:40Why are you divorced?
00:56:43With all due respect, Mr. Anderson, that is my personal business.
00:56:47Why, Carol? Tell me the truth.
00:56:51Uh, fine. Do you want the truth?
00:56:56Eric was my neighbor.
00:56:58And he offered us a place to stay, so I agreed to a paper marriage so he could fulfill his
00:57:04grandmother's dying wish.
00:57:06Satisfied?
00:57:08Okay, well, I do have work to do, so...
00:57:13Carol.
00:57:17Look, I can't keep fighting you anymore.
