00:00:02Inmate 4317289, Evelyn Langley.
00:00:06Visitation approved.
00:00:08Visitor, Lucian Lowell.
00:00:13Um, can I please get a tablecloth?
00:00:18Please, I don't want him to know that I'm pregnant.
00:00:27This necklace means a lot to me.
00:00:30I love you, Evelyn. You are mine.
00:00:35But there's no going back now.
00:00:44Evelyn, it's been five months.
00:00:47I've been counting every single day until you'd let me see you.
00:00:50You don't look good. Are they even taking care of you in here?
00:00:55Listen, I know you were set up.
00:00:57I've hired the best appellate guy in the city.
00:00:59We're going to fight this against you.
00:01:00Lucian Warden.
00:01:03What?
00:01:05I said you were...
00:01:07No.
00:01:08No, I don't accept that.
00:01:11I'll wait for you, Evelyn.
00:01:14I'll marry you.
00:01:24The click of these cuffs is louder than any wedding bells, Lucian.
00:01:30I'm tired.
00:01:33And I have nothing left to give.
00:01:35So you should find someone else.
00:01:37I'm not giving up on you.
00:01:39You said you'd love me for life.
00:01:41You said that we'd have babies, remember?
00:01:43A little one with golden hair like my grandpa.
00:01:46Oh.
00:01:56What is this?
00:01:59We had a baby.
00:02:01Once.
00:02:05Not anymore.
00:02:09Two months?
00:02:11What?
00:02:14You killed our baby?
00:02:18You did this just to break up with me?
00:02:24Are you out of your fucking mind, Evelyn?
00:02:26That was our baby.
00:02:27You know how bad I wanted a child.
00:02:30Sir!
00:02:31You're on the line.
00:02:32It's over.
00:02:33Let's go now.
00:02:35Evelyn.
00:02:36Evelyn Langley.
00:02:37I hate you.
00:02:37I hate you.
00:02:39I hate you.
00:02:44Lucian loves you.
00:02:46Since you've been remanded,
00:02:48he's been running all over town,
00:02:49lining up the best council,
00:02:51trying to get your time reduced.
00:02:55Lucian.
00:02:56It's touching, isn't it?
00:02:59The cellulare of the Lol family
00:03:01falls head over heels for someone like you.
00:03:04But for us, it's a nightmare.
00:03:07When the Lol name becomes a punchline
00:03:10the second its air falls for a criminal.
00:03:13No, sir. I was framed.
00:03:15That man tried to force himself on me.
00:03:17I didn't hurt him.
00:03:18Look, I am sorry for what happened to you.
00:03:21I truly am.
00:03:23But that doesn't change the fact about who you are.
00:03:27For my son's reputation.
00:03:29For his future.
00:03:30You need to walk away.
00:03:36And what if I were pregnant?
00:03:39Would I get a second chance?
00:03:41Miss Langley.
00:03:42You will not marry into this family by leveraging a pregnancy.
00:03:46If you were ever to carry Lucian's child,
00:03:49we would take full custody.
00:03:50You would be out of the picture.
00:03:52Because we will never allow a Lol heir to have a criminal for a mother.
00:03:57That would be a stain on the child.
00:04:00And a family name.
00:04:05You know how bad I wanted a child.
00:04:08Evelyn.
00:04:09Evelyn Langley, I hate you.
00:04:15I'll wait for you.
00:04:17Evelyn.
00:04:19I'll marry you.
00:04:25Nobody's gonna take you away from me, okay?
00:04:29Not even your father.
00:04:40Sir, you've been out here for over three hours.
00:04:42Who are you waiting on?
00:04:43Evelyn Langley.
00:04:44Number 4317289.
00:04:47She's scheduled to be released today.
00:04:49Evelyn Langley?
00:04:50She was released for good behavior three months ago.
00:04:53You didn't know?
00:05:00Right.
00:05:02Of course.
00:05:04Evelyn Langley.
00:05:06When you said we were over,
00:05:09you meant it.
00:05:15Good morning, Miss Langley.
00:05:17I'm Luis Morales with Los Angeles County DCFS.
00:05:21Oh, please.
00:05:28Please, just breathe.
00:05:31You're okay.
00:05:33Hi, Miss Morales.
00:05:35Miss Langley.
00:05:36Now, our records show that you were released early for good behavior.
00:05:40Now, that's noted.
00:05:41However, we did receive a report alleging that you do not have a steady income and cannot reliably cover rent,
00:05:48which may put your child's welfare at risk.
00:05:51Now, if these conditions aren't met, DCFS will have to initiate temporary protective custody.
00:05:57That report is malicious. I have a job. I got the offer today.
00:06:08All right.
00:06:10But you also have a prior for assault with a deadly weapon on your record.
00:06:14If we observe any indication of violence, we may also detain your child.
00:06:18No, I'm not going to make that mistake again.
00:06:21If I may.
00:06:22And you are?
00:06:24Vance Reed.
00:06:26I'm her neighbor.
00:06:27A U.S. Army veteran served for seven years and armedly discharged.
00:06:31I'll vouch for her character.
00:06:33She's steady, gentle, and all-around good, Mom.
00:06:38All right.
00:06:40Thanks for coming by. You have a good day.
00:06:42Yeah, you too.
00:06:50My Eric actually got golden hair, just like Lucien's grandpa.
00:06:56Mom, we're not getting split up right?
00:06:59No, not now, not ever.
00:07:01Okay? I promise.
00:07:06Thank you for the job lead and for backing me out.
00:07:12Of course.
00:07:13I know how much you love this little rascal.
00:07:16I couldn't stand to see you to a part.
00:07:19Thank you, really.
00:07:21Thanks, Uncle Vance.
00:07:25Come on, let's drop him off at school.
00:07:27I can take you to see my cousin's company.
00:07:30All right, you're all set.
00:07:32Executive assistant to the CEO.
00:07:34The boss is out right now, but you can start tomorrow and we'll go...
00:07:39Oh, boss, you're back.
00:07:50I've hired the best to tell a guy in this.
00:07:51We're going to fight this.
00:07:53You killed our baby?
00:07:54You did this just to break up with me?
00:07:56Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:07:57Evelyn!
00:07:58Let's go!
00:07:59Evelyn, I hate you!
00:08:07Hey.
00:08:09Come on.
00:08:11Introductions.
00:08:16Perfect timing.
00:08:17She's the new assistant I've recommended.
00:08:19Evelyn Langley.
00:08:21This is my cousin, Ushi Lowell.
00:08:23Started this company, what, four years ago?
00:08:26I know he looks all stern, but he's really a softie.
00:08:30Almost got himself killed rescuing a puppy when we were kids.
00:08:33Likes his coffee black, bitter as sand.
00:08:35He's got a serious sweet tooth.
00:08:36That's enough.
00:08:38Hey.
00:08:39She's your assistant.
00:08:41I was just telling her your preferences.
00:08:42My preferences.
00:08:44Oh, she knows it.
00:08:47Including my size.
00:08:49Every inch.
00:08:51She knows it completely.
00:08:53And deeply.
00:08:56Isn't that right, Miss Langley?
00:08:58What?
00:09:01What do you mean she knows?
00:09:02Because...
00:09:06Because?
00:09:06Because you're a public figure.
00:09:10I did my homework.
00:09:11Before day one.
00:09:13See, I told you I'd pick winners.
00:09:16Anyways, let me break it down.
00:09:1732 at 25, 35.
00:09:21Down the size, aren't you?
00:09:39Um, I'm sorry.
00:09:46I just, I don't think that I'm the right fit for this job.
00:09:49You signed the agreement.
00:09:52There's a liquidated damages clause.
00:09:55You walk, you pay.
00:10:05I misspoke.
00:10:06I'm sorry.
00:10:07I just meant that I was stepping away for a minute.
00:10:10Good.
00:10:11I thought you were quitting.
00:10:13Before I get a hands-on read of your new size.
00:10:20Lucien.
00:10:21You look pleased.
00:10:23What's the good news?
00:10:26Evelyn.
00:10:27You're out.
00:10:28Oh.
00:10:29You know my new assistant.
00:10:32Assistant.
00:10:34Well, let me properly introduce you.
00:10:37Your new assistant is family.
00:10:39Evelyn, welcome to my fiance's company.
00:10:43My dear, dear stepsister.
00:10:48Fiance.
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:51Lucien and I are engaged.
00:10:52We were just about to spread the good news.
00:10:55Isn't that right, honey?
00:10:56So while I was rotting in prison for six years,
00:10:59he became my stepsister's fiance.
00:11:02My stepsister.
00:11:03The little sister of the bastard who framed me and got me locked up.
00:11:07What's wrong, Evelyn?
00:11:08Are you nervous?
00:11:10Don't be.
00:11:11Lucien's a good man.
00:11:12He won't judge you just because he's done time.
00:11:15Isn't that right, honey?
00:11:22Yeah, she's been locked up.
00:11:25But she was framed.
00:11:27Besides, she's my girl, so don't be giving her any wrong looks.
00:11:31Miss Langley, I hired you to work, not date.
00:11:35Kindly perform your duties.
00:11:37Brew me a coffee.
00:11:38Bring it to my office.
00:11:42And be sure to make one for your boss's fiancee.
00:11:46Me.
00:11:47I like mine scalding.
00:11:55I'm sorry for the whole girlfriend thing.
00:11:57I was just...
00:11:57No, I know.
00:11:59I know you were just trying to cover for me,
00:12:01so I wouldn't get singled out.
00:12:02But just don't do that again.
00:12:04When people think your dating fell in, it's...
00:12:07It's not good for you.
00:12:09I'm fine.
00:12:11Come on.
00:12:12I'll go help you make that cup of coffee.
00:12:16Sorry if my cousin spooked you back there.
00:12:18No, it's...
00:12:19I'm fine.
00:12:20Yeah?
00:12:23You know, you didn't know what it used to be like this.
00:12:25Went through a pretty ugly breakup about five, six years ago.
00:12:29Blew up his whole world.
00:12:30Turned him cold and quiet.
00:12:33In fact, it's a bit taboo to even speak of her name in the Lowell family.
00:12:40A taboo.
00:12:41Sounds more like a shame.
00:12:43Hm?
00:12:44Well, I...
00:12:46I don't know, I was deployed back then,
00:12:48so I don't really know all the details,
00:12:50but I can tell he's pretty broken up about it still.
00:12:53Really?
00:12:54Yeah, he even named his company after them.
00:12:57L&L Group.
00:12:59L&L.
00:13:00I love you, Evelyn.
00:13:02I want everything I own to carry your name.
00:13:05Evelyn Langley.
00:13:07Lucian Lowell.
00:13:08The L&L Group.
00:13:11Both of our last names for the new company.
00:13:13How does that say?
00:13:21You weren't right.
00:13:27You weren't right.
00:13:30Oh, shit.
00:13:31Oh, my God.
00:13:33That looks like a second-degree burn.
00:13:34I'll go get some burn cream.
00:13:36I'll be right back, okay?
00:13:40Lucian, I'm sorry.
00:13:45I love you,
00:13:48but I can't pull you down with my past,
00:13:50and I can't lose Eric.
00:13:57Did you burn yourself?
00:14:06Did you burn?
00:14:12Are you pushing you away because of Vance?
00:14:14Yes.
00:14:15Mr. Lowell, you're standing too close.
00:14:27Too close.
00:14:33Can I remind you of what too close used to mean?
00:14:38That's my tongue from every inch of your skin,
00:14:42with you underneath me.
00:14:44Shaking.
00:14:45Screaming my name.
00:14:48Don't say another word.
00:14:49Why not?
00:14:51Friend, your precious boyfriend's gonna hear?
00:14:57Good.
00:14:59Because he's gonna hear.
00:15:00And he's gonna see it, too.
00:15:07Don't kill us.
00:15:12Do you even know what you're doing?
00:15:15Are you out of your mind?
00:15:16I've been out of my mind for six years.
00:15:20Ever since you said we were different.
00:15:23Let's get one thing straight, okay?
00:15:26Whatever we were,
00:15:28I am your assistant now.
00:15:30Who the hell wants you as my assistant?
00:15:33I want you as my woman.
00:15:36My wife.
00:15:41Come back to me, Evelyn.
00:15:43Come back to me, Evelyn.
00:15:44You should...

00:19:54You're not going to invite me in for some coffee?
00:19:58Um, now's, now's not a good time.
00:20:07Hey, what are you-
00:20:11You're living with Vance now? That's why it's not a good time? It's only been out three months,
00:20:15you already need to get dicked down that bad.
00:20:17My personal life is none of your business.
00:20:21Oh yeah, I don't make it my business.
00:20:30Get out!
00:20:35Mom!
00:20:39Mom!
00:20:40You're back!
00:20:44Mom?
00:20:48Hi!
00:20:50Mom?
00:20:53This is my mom, mister. Are you my mom's friend?
00:20:57That blonde kid.
00:20:59That blonde kid.
00:20:59If she hadn't ended the pregnancy six years ago, our kid would be about this age.
00:21:05Hey kid, how old are you?
00:21:08Hi.
00:21:09Eric!
00:21:11Hey, bud.
00:21:12Dry your hair, man. I don't want you catching the cold.
00:21:17Lucian.
00:21:18Vance.
00:21:20What are you doing here?
00:21:22I-
00:21:23Vance.
00:21:24Could you just take Eric outside for just a minute?
00:21:28Yeah.
00:21:29Sure.
00:21:30Come on, bud.
00:21:31Let's go play catch.
00:21:32I wanna build a Lego.
00:21:34Legos? I love Legos.
00:21:43That boy, Eric.
00:21:46Is he mine?
00:21:50Is that my son?
00:21:51No.
00:21:53As you can see, he's Vance's and mine.
00:21:56Oh, come on, Evelyn.
00:21:57You just pulled that lie out of your ass.
00:21:59When you were inside, Vance was deployed with the Rangers.
00:22:02So when exactly did you two have this baby?
00:22:08Okay, fine. You caught that.
00:22:10Eric isn't Vance's.
00:22:12He's the child that I had with a guard.
00:22:15In prison.
00:22:16No, no. That's a fucking lie.
00:22:18No, stop.
00:22:20Don't do this to me.
00:22:21Why would I lie?
00:22:23You know how it is.
00:22:24When you're inside, you still have to survive.
00:22:26You do things.
00:22:28For money.
00:22:31You sell yourself for money, huh?
00:22:34Why didn't you come to me?
00:22:36I would've given you every damn dollar you wanted.
00:22:39Please, get your hands off me.
00:22:45You don't want me to touch you?
00:22:46Okay.
00:22:49Okay.
00:22:59I already paid.
00:23:01I fuck you now.
00:23:02I have no question.
00:23:08Please, don't do that.
00:23:10No.
00:23:13Why does everyone else get two?
00:23:16And I don't.
00:23:19Why?
00:23:37Mom, we're back!
00:23:38Mom, look! I've been to a Lego spaceship!
00:23:41Please, please.
00:23:43Megan, you just stop.
00:23:49I'll spread your legs for anyone who pays.
00:23:52And now you care about your kids' feelings?
00:24:00Mom, we're back!
00:24:03Mom, look what I made!
00:24:06Oh, wow! That's awesome!
00:24:11Mister, do you think it looks cool?
00:24:18Yeah, looks great. Good job.
00:24:25Hey, you know my buddies are throwing a little party celebrating me getting to the fire department?
00:24:30Oh.
00:24:31I was wondering if you want to be my date.
00:24:34Oh, she doesn't have time for that.
00:24:36She's got a full-time job.
00:24:38Your recommendation, remember?
00:24:42Yeah. I mean, it's after hours.
00:24:45Come on.
00:24:46Help me out. I don't want to be the only single guy there.
00:24:51Um, sure.
00:24:53Yeah, of course. I'll be your date.
00:25:02Ah, what's the matter?
00:25:03I need a paternity test to run on these.
00:25:05Let me know if they're father and son.
00:25:07Certainly.
00:25:08Leave it with me.
00:25:11Mister, do you think it looks cool?
00:25:15Is he really not ours?
00:25:19Yeah, looks great.
00:25:23Eric, are you my son?
00:25:27I'm very sorry, Miss Hicks.
00:25:28You're infernal.
00:25:30But you can always consider adoption.
00:25:34Adoption, my ass.
00:25:36Adoption doesn't make me Mrs. Lowell.
00:25:38Only carrying Lucian's air does.
00:25:43Don't worry, Mr. Lowell.
00:25:45I'll exploit the results.
00:25:47Appreciate it.
00:25:55I know that you're seven figures deep in gambling debt.
00:25:58So, how about you tell me why Lucian Lowell was here?
00:26:02And this one million could be yours.
00:26:14He asked me to run a DNA test, father and son.
00:26:19Oh, well, when the results arrive, call me first.
00:26:28Not Lucian.
00:26:37Um, Mr. Lowell.
00:26:40I need your signature on these.
00:26:49Dressed up like this, all for Vance's little party tonight.
00:26:54That's my personal business.
00:26:59Looks like I've ruined your dress.
00:27:03I'm sorry, I got your dress all dirty.
00:27:06Fine.
00:27:08Hey, how could it be fine?
00:27:11I've ruined it.
00:27:13I'll make it right.
00:27:15It's two last minutes to buy you a new one.
00:27:18So for now, just wear mine.
00:27:23I'll get you a better one later.
00:27:27That's fine.
00:27:28Thanks.
00:27:29I'll just wash this one and bring it back tomorrow.
00:27:32My boyfriend's downstairs, so I should go.
00:27:40Boyfriend, huh?
00:27:43No one wears that label but me.
00:27:49Evelyn.
00:27:50Hi.
00:27:51Wow, you're looking stunning.
00:27:53Thanks.
00:27:56That shirt looks a little familiar, though.
00:27:59Um, yeah.
00:28:02All dress shirts kind of just look the same.
00:28:05But we're going to be late, so we should probably go.
00:28:08You're right.
00:28:09After you, my lady.
00:28:15Backseat safer.
00:28:16What are you...
00:28:22Lucian, what are you doing?
00:28:23It's my cousin's celebration party.
00:28:25Of course I'm going.
00:28:26Isn't that right, Vance?
00:28:31Absolutely.
00:28:32I mean, shit, you haven't had a proper night out in what?
00:28:34Six years?
00:28:36Want to break that streak celebrating me?
00:28:38Let's go.
00:28:39All right.
00:28:40Let's go.
00:28:41Drive.
00:28:43He used to live for parties.
00:28:45Four or five a month, like clockwork.
00:28:47And he hasn't even been to one since we broke up.
00:28:50Okay, so we got Jackson, Bob.
00:28:53Who else do you want on the list?
00:28:55We've already thrown four parties this month.
00:28:58Why another?
00:29:01Because...
00:29:02I want everyone to know your mind, Evelyn.
00:29:05And I want the whole world to see it.
00:29:07And I'm with you.
00:29:08I'm the happiest man alive.
00:29:12All right.
00:29:14We're here.
00:29:33We're here, my boys.
00:29:37Sam!
00:29:38Sam!
00:29:39What's going on?
00:29:41It's so beautiful.
00:29:42Come on, I can pardon me, baby.
00:29:44All right?
00:29:44Two, three.
00:29:45On you.
00:29:45Three, homie.
00:29:46All right.
00:29:47Take it easy, animals.
00:29:48I want to introduce you to Evelyn.
00:29:50Hi.
00:29:52And it's my cousin, Lucien Ro.
00:29:55You bear.
00:29:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:57We know, we know.
00:29:58Six years ago, the internet's favorite clown,
00:30:02Mr. Trust Fun, Lovesick.
00:30:05Fell in love with the criminal, right?
00:30:09Look, sorry, man.
00:30:11I'm just curious.
00:30:12How does a guy like you just burn all of his pride away for some woman?
00:30:17And then you start sucking up to those slimy judges and politicians just to try to spring her out?
00:30:23Two, one, one.
00:30:25The whole name becomes a punchline the second its heir falls for a criminal.
00:30:31So he carried all that heat because of me?
00:30:35Hey, take it easy, man.
00:30:37Come on.
00:30:38We all ugly cried over a one-night stand who ghosted us before checkout.
00:30:43It's not on him.
00:30:44It's on that slut.
00:30:45He never deserved him in the first place.
00:30:51What happens when he figures out that slut is you?
00:30:55Do you think he'll regret busting his ass, recommending you as my assistant?
00:30:59Or just regret ever meeting you at all?
00:31:05Hey, I'm sorry about those clowns.
00:31:07But the pool table's open.
00:31:09Say we run a game, okay?
00:31:12You want to play?
00:31:14Oh, I just, I don't know how to play.
00:31:17Sorry.
00:31:19Let's go and grab one of these.
00:31:22How about you?
00:31:23Let's run it.
00:31:26What's the fun without a little skin in the game?
00:31:30Okay.
00:31:31Mr. Air.
00:31:33Alright.
00:31:33You call it.
00:31:34What are we betting on?
00:31:40Winner gets the kiss, Evelyn.
00:31:43What?
00:31:45Hey, you out of your goddamn mind?
00:31:47She's not some chip on a poker table.
00:31:48What's wrong?
00:31:49You nervous?
00:31:50I thought you said she was your girlfriend, right?
00:31:53What's the matter?
00:31:54Are you scared that you're not man enough to win your own girl's kiss?
00:31:59Vance, take the bet.
00:32:01We got you.
00:32:02Beat him.
00:32:03Beat him.
00:32:04Beat him.
00:32:05Beat him.
00:32:06Beat him.
00:32:07Beat him.
00:32:08Beat him.
00:32:09Beat him.
00:32:09Beat him.
00:32:10Beat him.
00:32:12I'm sorry, but I don't agree to this.
00:32:14I'm not some prize.
00:32:16Is that so?
00:32:19Then I tell Vance the truth.
00:32:21That you're the slut you just trashed.
00:32:26Well, Vance, it looks like your girlfriend doesn't even believe in you.
00:32:30So, you know what?
00:32:31Just forget it.
00:32:32Hey, I'm in.
00:32:35Besides, back on base.
00:32:38I used to live at the tables.
00:32:40Ran my unit's attorney.
00:32:41So I'm not losing to you.
00:32:43You know?
00:32:44Yeah, that's right.
00:33:03No way.
00:33:04He's running the rack.
00:33:06Holy shit.
00:33:06He just ran the game.
00:33:08That's the level golden boy.
00:33:10I win.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:13Time to claim my prize.
00:33:30Alright, enough.
00:33:34Hey.
00:33:35Enough.
00:33:39I'm out of here.
00:33:41Evelyn, let's go.
00:33:43She's not.
00:33:45She's my prize.
00:33:46Come on.
00:33:47Don't tell me you're a sore loser, Vance.
00:33:49I'm not a sore loser.
00:33:51The bet was one kiss.
00:33:52You got what you wanted, cuz.
00:33:54Please.
00:33:56That was barely a warm-up.
00:34:04My ex is a slut to you, right?
00:34:07So what does that make this woman, who just let me kiss her, that makes her...
00:34:13Shut up!
00:34:14Don't you dare bring Evelyn down to the level of the ex who left you.
00:34:21Take a close look.
00:34:24She fits the same label.
00:34:26You fucking bastard.
00:34:36What are you doing?
00:34:38This is Lucian Lowell, CEO of the L&L Group.
00:34:41I've been assaulted at the Velvet Q.
00:34:43I'm bleeding.
00:34:44You've got one minute to send a squad car down to that door,
00:34:47while I pull every dollar from the Lowell money from your pet foundations.
00:34:51No, Lucian, what?
00:34:52Stop!
00:34:53Are you crazy?
00:34:55Vance is your cousin.
00:34:56He just made the fire department, and now you're gonna ruin him?
00:34:59He ruined me first!
00:35:02The moment you called the woman I love the slut, you ruined me.
00:35:06You dragged the woman I love through the mud.
00:35:08You don't just insult her, you burn down my love.
00:35:12You burn down everything I am.
00:35:15I was defending you, man.
00:35:16Who fucking cares?
00:35:20Right here!
00:35:22This one!
00:35:25No.
00:35:25I'll leave by my own.
00:35:30I'll leave you in the closet.
00:35:31Vance!
00:35:33Lucian!
00:35:35Lucian!
00:35:36Please don't do this to Vance!
00:35:42Evelyn?
00:35:43Bitch.
00:35:44Who's she chasing at?
00:35:46Lucian!
00:35:47Lucian?
00:35:50Lucian!
00:35:51Vance was just trying to stand up!
00:35:53Oh, I know exactly who he was standing up for.
00:35:56Of course it's you.
00:35:57His precious girlfriend.
00:36:01What about me, huh?
00:36:03I stood up for the woman I used to call my drunk woman.
00:36:06And suddenly I'm the asshole.
00:36:08You looked at me and saved.
00:36:11Was I wrong?
00:36:13Was I wrong to love you back then?
00:36:16I'm sorry.
00:36:18This is on me.
00:36:20It's my fault.
00:36:25You want me to let me dance off the hook?
00:36:29Fine.
00:36:32Get in.
00:36:35Oh, you won't do it?
00:36:38Pass the bread that your whole girlfriend after all in the same.
00:36:41Half-hearted and just get out.
00:36:42You can't even go all in.
00:36:44Don't come begging me to save your world.
00:36:53I'll do it.
00:36:58I'll go with you.
00:37:13Lura!
00:37:14What?
00:37:16Oh, God.
00:37:19Oh, God.
00:37:21Oh, God.
00:37:37The DNA report's done.
00:37:40What did you just say?
00:37:48Keep your head down there any longer.
00:37:51I'd be real happy to take you right now in this car.
00:37:57Sorry, I just didn't want Laura to see us and get the wrong idea.
00:38:01She's still your fiancée, after all.
00:38:06Is that so?
00:38:12You know, I just helped you dodge a hell of a boy.
00:38:16How are you planning to thank me for that?
00:38:21I appreciate it.
00:38:22Really, Lucian.
00:38:28I don't run a charity, Evelyn.
00:38:31I do business.
00:38:33If I help you, you pay me back in something real.
00:38:39Same as when you were begging me to get Vance off the hook.
00:38:44What do you want?
00:38:46What I want is...
00:39:10Strip.
00:39:12What?
00:39:13You want me to release Vance, right?
00:39:16Take all of your clothes off, and I won't press charges against him.
00:39:23We'll do it.
00:39:26Then get out of here.
00:39:31I mean, I'll do it.
00:39:42I mean, I'll do it.
00:39:50Always seems just out of reach.
00:39:53Always close, but never meet.
00:39:57When all I need to be is close to you.
00:40:02If I don't cross, did I even try?
00:40:06No.
00:40:27How much do you love Vance?
00:40:30That you would do all of this for him.
00:40:35What did I do wrong for you to punish me like this?
00:40:41You broke up years ago.
00:40:44I never agreed to it.
00:40:47Breakup isn't a business contract.
00:40:50It doesn't require both parties to agree.
00:40:53Business?
00:40:55Okay.
00:40:58Let's talk about business.
00:41:00Let's talk about what I'm owed.
00:41:02Helping you hide from Laura in my car.
00:41:06If you refuse, I'll call Laura right now and tell her exactly where you are.
00:41:15Kiss me back.
00:41:35Lucian, open up.
00:41:37Oh my god, your dad's here.
00:41:39Lucian, open up.
00:41:41Oh my god, your dad's here.
00:41:44What are you so afraid of?
00:41:49Exciting, isn't it?
00:41:51I'm crazy.
00:41:53Let me show you what crazy looks like.
00:41:56I want you.
00:41:58Wait.
00:42:00Lucian, open up.
00:42:07We can't, we can't do this.
00:42:08Lucian.
00:42:10Dammit.
00:42:11Dad, it's late.
00:42:12What do you want?
00:42:13I have a drink with my son.
00:42:15Open up.
00:42:17It's late.
00:42:17I don't want a drink right now.
00:42:19I just have to drink by myself.
00:42:21Hey, look.
00:42:22If you don't open the door,
00:42:23I'm just going to let myself in.
00:42:30I can't.
00:42:32I can't.
00:42:33Sorry.
00:42:39Hey, dad.
00:42:42You were right here.
00:42:44Why didn't you just open up?
00:42:46I was just about to.
00:42:47Come on.
00:42:49Have a drink with your old man.
00:43:00Dad, you don't show up this late
00:43:02just to crack a cold one.
00:43:03What's going on?
00:43:05I heard Evelyn's out.
00:43:08Look.
00:43:09You still can't get over her.
00:43:11Make her as your mistress.
00:43:13And give her a child.
00:43:14All out.
00:43:15But that child
00:43:16belongs to the Lowell family.
00:43:18your future wife
00:43:20will raise it.
00:43:28What was that?
00:43:30It's nothing.
00:43:31All right?
00:43:31You're hearing things.
00:43:32Bullshit!
00:43:33My hearing's perfect.
00:43:35That sound came from the bathroom.
00:43:37Probably some thief.
00:43:39Been a lot of break-ins here lately.
00:43:42But dad, don't.
00:43:43Jesus.
00:43:43Jesus.
00:43:44Jesus.
00:43:45Jesus.
00:43:47Jesus.
00:43:48Jesus.
00:43:48Jesus.
00:43:48Jesus.
00:43:55Jesus.
00:43:55All right.
00:43:56Since you've clearly seen it,
00:43:57I might as well...
00:44:07Thank god.
00:44:08It's just the first floor.
00:44:11She'd rather jump out a damn window
00:44:13than stay in here with me.
00:44:16How's that possible?
00:44:18I swear I heard something.
00:44:22Maybe my ears really are going.
00:44:24I'm not turning Evelyn into some mistress.
00:44:27The only place she has in my life is as my wife.
00:44:30As far as the Lowell family goes,
00:44:32L&L is big enough to go toe to toe with them.
00:44:35If it comes down to it, I'll fight.
00:44:38Fight?
00:44:39Over one woman?
00:44:41You turn against your own family?
00:44:43No!
00:44:43It's my own family turning against me.
00:45:13It's down.
00:45:17The wind, it blows in change.
00:45:26Bring me calm, your shining light.
00:45:33I don't want to smoke.
00:45:36We'll shove us apart to the...
00:45:40Eric, Mommy's home.
00:45:49What are you doing here?
00:45:51Eric, are you okay?
00:45:53Didn't Mommy tell you not to open the door for strangers, honey?
00:45:56I can't believe this bitch, Evelyn, actually had Lucian's kid.
00:46:00Good thing I was able to intercept the news.
00:46:03And Lucian still has no idea.
00:46:05Now it's time for me to get rid of this bitch.
00:46:08Mommy, Auntie says she's your sister.
00:46:11She showed me some pictures of you two together.
00:46:13That's right, Evelyn.
00:46:15I'm your sister.
00:46:16I'm not a stranger.
00:46:17And when the DCFS initiates temporary guardianship,
00:46:21I'm your next of kin to take custody of Eric.
00:46:25No!
00:46:26I don't want you to be my guardian.
00:46:28I want my mommy.
00:46:29You're bad.
00:46:30Go away!
00:46:31Hey, Eric.
00:46:34Nobody's gonna take you away from mommy.
00:46:36Okay?
00:46:41Can we talk?
00:46:49What exactly are you trying to pull here?
00:46:51You come at me.
00:46:53Directly.
00:46:54Dear sister, why would I hurt Eric?
00:46:58You're the one with the violent stabbing history.
00:47:01You could just lose control at any moment.
00:47:08Evelyn!
00:47:09What are you doing?
00:47:10I was just stating the facts.
00:47:12What?
00:47:14Evelyn!
00:47:15Can you just stop it?
00:47:17What the hell are you doing?
00:47:21Listen.
00:47:25Evelyn!
00:47:26What are you doing?
00:47:27I was just stating the facts.
00:47:29Evelyn!
00:47:30Can you just stop it?
00:47:32Do you think if I sent this to the DCFS that they would initiate temporary guardianship
00:47:39and grant me, your only sister, custody of your son?
00:47:42No, that's slander.
00:47:44You're framing me.
00:47:45There's no way that they're gonna believe you.
00:47:47Oh.
00:47:48Oh yeah?
00:47:50You wanna test that theory?
00:47:52What's the DCFS hotline again?
00:47:54It's, uh, one...
00:47:55Stop!
00:47:56Stop!
00:48:00As long as you do not take Eric from me.
00:48:04Whatever you want, I will do it.
00:48:07Hmm.
00:48:08See?
00:48:09It wasn't so hard, now was it?
00:48:12Leave Lucian's company.
00:48:14Leave his life and never show your little face again.
00:48:18Fine.
00:48:20I'll resign tomorrow.
00:48:23Stop!
00:48:25What else do you want?
00:48:27Remember what you told me?
00:48:30Don't test someone who's done time.
00:48:33Where you come from.
00:48:35People will kill each other over a pack of cigarettes.
00:48:39Stop!
00:48:40Bitch!
00:48:42That's what you get for trying to threaten me.
00:48:46Wait, ma...
00:48:48I'm sorry.
00:48:50Sorry?
00:48:52Oh, you really think sorry makes me feel better?
00:48:56Yes!
00:48:57That's what you get for trying to scare me and that.
00:49:01So you know who you're dealing with.
00:49:09Enough!
00:49:12Hey.
00:49:13You okay?
00:49:23You sure you're okay?
00:49:24I'm fine.
00:49:27Hey.
00:49:29If you're pissed about what happened at the bar, then hit me.
00:49:31I'm the one who swung on your little fiancee.
00:49:34But don't you dare treat her like a punching bag.
00:49:36No.
00:49:37She's not.
00:49:37No.
00:49:38It was just a dumb bet between guys.
00:49:39But I sure as hell wasn't gonna stand there and watch him put his mouth on her.
00:49:44Lucian kissed Evelyn?
00:49:46Fucking hole!
00:49:48Hey.
00:49:49I warned you, didn't I?
00:49:51Now I'm being nice.
00:49:52But I won't be so nice next time.
00:49:56You're a whore.
00:49:58You remember what you promised me.
00:50:01Fuck.
00:50:05I got you.
00:50:07I got you.
00:50:09You're okay.
00:50:14This is probably the worst timing, but I'm gonna ask anyways.
00:50:25Will you be my girlfriend?
00:50:29Um.
00:50:32Um.
00:50:33If you mean just keep pretending in front of Lucian so that he doesn't-
00:50:40I'm not talking about putting an act on for Lucian.
00:50:45Dammit, I'm falling for you.
00:50:47Shit, I fell for you the moment you knocked on my door three months ago
00:50:50and you're telling me you're my neighbor holding that fresh-baked tray of cookies.
00:50:56At first I said, it's just cause you're fresh out the service and you haven't dated in so long, but...
00:51:02No.
00:51:05I mean, uh, tonight, uh, watching him kiss you, I-
00:51:10I can't stand to see you in anyone else's arms.
00:51:13I love you, Evelyn.
00:51:17So, be my girlfriend.
00:51:28You're my girlfriend.
00:51:30Yeah.
00:51:32You're gonna be my girlfriend.
00:51:37Vance.
00:51:41You're a really great guy.
00:51:44But I can't lie to you.
00:51:49I don't love you.
00:51:53At least not-
00:51:54Not in the way that you want me to.
00:51:57Oh.
00:52:02First time I actually put myself out there for a girl and get shut down on the spot.
00:52:07This one's for the history books.
00:52:09No, really, thank you so much for everything that you've done for me in the last few months.
00:52:13But as for your cousin's company, L&L Group, I'm not going back there.
00:52:18I'm gonna-
00:52:19I'm gonna resign.
00:52:21And if there's some kind of penalty in the contract or whatever, I'm gonna pay it.
00:52:25Hey.
00:52:26That's on me.
00:52:29I'm the one who took that stupid bar bet.
00:52:32If I didn't, he wouldn't force that kiss on you, so...
00:52:36So, yeah.
00:52:38I don't blame you if you don't want to step foot in that place again.
00:52:41And as far as the penalties, I-
00:52:44I'll take care of it.
00:52:49Thank you, Vance.
00:52:50Don't.
00:52:51I'm the one who drug you into this mess.
00:53:03Wait.
00:53:04You're saying that kid isn't mine?
00:53:06It's just a leaf.
00:53:28You're an�e.
00:53:30Lucien.
00:53:40You are mine.
00:53:42Bye, Lucien.
00:53:52Can I put on some more clothes?
00:53:55The money are the clothes.
00:53:57Your choice.
00:54:02If I don't make money, I'll lose custody of Eric.
00:54:05I can't let that happen.
00:54:09Uh, Evelyn?
00:54:11Bob?
00:54:17Bob, don't do this.
00:54:19I'm your sister.
00:54:20Laura is my sister.
00:54:23Your mother married my father, and you're just the little slut she brought for me.
00:54:31Bitch!
00:54:32If you get any closer, I'll kill you.
00:54:36If you kill me, you'll go to jail.
00:54:39I don't care!
00:54:41I'll do it!
00:54:42If you say so.
00:54:46Oh, is this the police?
00:54:47Please, help me.
00:54:49My stepsister.
00:54:50She's trying to kill me.
00:54:51She has a knife.
00:54:52I'm at the Langley Mansion.
00:54:56You know, if you strip naked, get on all fours and beg, I'll call them off.
00:55:02They're not going to believe you.
00:55:04They're not going to believe you.
00:55:04Try me.
00:55:06I can't believe the cops actually bought his story just because of that cut on his hand.
00:55:12What?
00:55:12You don't recognize me, darling sister.
00:55:17You don't recognize me, darling sister.
00:55:22What are you trying to do?
00:55:26You.
00:55:30How dare you hit me?
00:55:33I guess six years in jail wasn't enough to take you.
00:55:38You little slut.
00:55:39Don't act innocent.
00:55:41You're the one working in a strip club.
00:55:43Let go of me.
00:55:44Or what?
00:55:46My sister Laura is about to marry Lucian.
00:55:49Lol, that means I got to do whatever I want and he'll protect me.
00:55:53So how about I give you a thousand dollars to fuck you?
00:55:57Just...
00:55:59Bitch.
00:56:00You hit me right through there.
00:56:16Lucian, this is my brother Bob.
00:56:19Bob, what are you doing?
00:56:21Fighting with Evelyn.
00:56:22This bitch actually kept her word and quit.
00:56:24But who would have thought she's in the gentleman's club and ran into Lucian.
00:56:28Just my luck.
00:56:30Lucian, this waitress.
00:56:32Is my stepsister.
00:56:34I was just teaching her a lesson.
00:56:38We have no right to teach my assistant.
00:56:41What?
00:56:43How could you let your fiancé hire her without telling him what kind of a person your stepsister really is?
00:56:49I really don't know my assistant very well, do I?
00:56:54Please, enlighten me.
00:56:57She's desperate for money.
00:56:59To marry into wealth.
00:57:01She snuck into my bed one night, tried to seduce me, and when I refused, she stabbed me.
00:57:05She got sentenced to jail for six years.
00:57:10Six years ago, my lawyer asked her mother to testify for you to court, but she refused.
00:57:14Is she protecting your stepbrother?
00:57:18Yes.
00:57:19She really loves my stepfather.
00:57:22Good thing I don't.
00:57:34Hit him.
00:57:40What are you waiting for?
00:57:42Hit him!
00:57:42I can't do any more time for this scumbag.
00:57:47From now on, no one else is doing time without my say-so.
00:57:57Evelyn, I have.
00:57:59So sorry about Bob.
00:58:01I don't know what he was thinking.
00:58:03Bringing up the past like that.
00:58:06You've already done your time.
00:58:08Lucian and I were just here for our date.
00:58:10We didn't know that we'd run into you.
00:58:14We'll have the driver take you home.
00:58:16No, that's fine.
00:58:19I can't leave.
00:58:21I work here now.
00:58:26I'll go try to change your mind.
00:58:33Get out.
00:58:40What the heck?
00:58:41What's going on?
00:58:43Why is he protecting her?
00:58:44Does he still love her?
00:58:46Because if he does, how are you going to become Mrs. Lowell?
00:58:48And how are you going to pay off my gambling deal?
00:58:51Don't rush.
00:58:52Love doesn't matter in a wealthy marriage, but a clean background does.
00:58:57The Lowells will never let somebody with a criminal record marry their one and only heir.
00:59:03The Lowells might care, but Lucian won't.
00:59:06That's why I need one more thing from you.
00:59:08What?
00:59:09Well, I need Lucian to get you having sex with Evelyn in public with his very own eyes.
00:59:18I am going to completely destroy her.
00:59:23Are you insane?
00:59:24That is going to ruin me too.
00:59:25I'm your brother.
00:59:27Well, that's right.
00:59:28I trust you, idiot.
00:59:29So, either you become a registered sex offender, or you get fed to the Lowell Sharks.
00:59:37Your choice.
00:59:41Wah!
00:59:42Wah!
00:59:55Lucian, I'm so sorry.
00:59:57She just...
00:59:58She won't have it.
00:59:59I mean, she said that one night here pays more than a month as your secretary.
01:00:05Funny.
01:00:07I'll go see for myself how much a little cocktail waitress makes in one night.
01:00:15My stepsister is working here, and Lucian is just really upset about it.
01:00:21Do you think you could help me convince her to leave?
01:00:25Of course.
01:00:26We can't have Mrs. Lewis' sister working in a place like this.
01:00:31I've already left your family and Lucian's company, so why can't you just let me go?
01:00:39Because your existence is getting in the way of our fortune.
01:00:47I just saw Evelyn go in here.
01:00:54Evelyn, open the door.
01:00:56No!
01:00:56Oh, Lucian!
01:00:57Lucian, I'm in here!
01:00:59I have waited a long time for Lucian to see just how much of a slut you really are.
01:01:06Evelyn, open up!
01:01:11If I smash this into his head, will I go to jail?
01:01:14Will I lose Eric?
01:01:20Will I lose Eric?
01:01:35Evelyn!
01:01:40Evelyn!
01:01:43Look at that fine body.
01:01:45I call the next dance.
01:01:47That's Laura's stepsister.
01:01:48I don't think we're going to be able to talk her way into this one.
01:01:51Better call the family's PR9.
01:01:53Evelyn!
01:01:54Why wouldn't you just leave when I asked you to?
01:01:58Evelyn, Lucian doesn't care about prison, but he definitely cares if you've slept with other men.
01:02:04He won't ever want you back after this.
01:02:07This is Lucian Lowell.
01:02:09I'd like to report a crime.
01:02:10Someone just tried to assault my assistant.
01:02:20It was her!
01:02:24Get out of the way!
01:02:34Be good.
01:02:36I regret the doctor.
01:02:42Can I sleep with you?
01:02:44Please.
01:02:46I'll pay you.
01:02:49Amy.
01:02:51Very expensive.
01:02:54Can you afford me?
01:02:58Fuck.
01:03:00What else?
01:03:13Hey.
01:03:14Hey.
01:03:14Listen.
01:03:15You've been drugged.
01:03:17I will get a doctor.
01:03:19You'll agree.
01:03:19I'm angry.
01:03:28My spirit.
01:03:33I'm hungry.
01:03:34I'm hungry.
01:03:38I'm hungry.
01:03:40I'm hungry.
01:03:40I'm hungry.
01:03:40Don't fall out and need a break.
01:03:42Thanks, friend.
01:03:46I'm hungry.
01:03:49I'm hungry.
01:03:49I don't care about anything that came before me.
01:03:52I just want you with me from now on.
01:03:56All of you.
01:04:34This was a mistake.
01:04:37You can't let it turn into something bigger.
01:04:40What are you doing?
01:04:45I'm...
01:04:49I'm waiting for the bus to take me home.
01:04:54Plan B?
01:04:57You really don't want a child with me, do you?
01:05:00You'd rather have one with some random convict in jail than risk having a kid with me?
01:05:08I shouldn't have your child.
01:05:10You shouldn't have my child?
01:05:12Then whose child should you have, huh?
01:05:15Vances?
01:05:16You really got around these last six years in jail, didn't you?
01:05:19I mean, do you even know whose kid that is?
01:05:22Don't you dare insult my child.
01:05:28Insult?
01:05:29The biggest insult to that child is having a nice mother.
01:05:36We will never allow a Lowell heir to have a criminal for a mother.
01:05:40That would be a stain on the child.
01:05:43That would be a stain on the child and on her family name.
01:05:47I'm innocent.
01:05:51If Vance knew your past, you really think he'd accept you?
01:05:55Yeah, I would.
01:05:58You don't think I know her past.
01:06:00I knew she did, time the moment she stepped on my doorstep.
01:06:04Always talking cautious, fidgeting, checking her pockets, even though she didn't even have any.
01:06:10No, that matters to me.
01:06:12You know what's important?
01:06:14It's your amazing mother.
01:06:16It's your kind and beautiful inside and out.
01:06:19Vance, I...
01:06:20Look, I'm not here to confess my love again.
01:06:24Come on, Evelyn.
01:06:26Let's go home.
01:06:29Eric is worried about you.
01:06:33Okay.
01:06:36You'd best stay away from everything else.
01:06:38For your own good.
01:06:41For my own good, huh?
01:06:43Yeah.
01:06:44Is it for my own good or is it for feelings that you just can't admit to yourself?
01:06:49Excuse me.
01:06:50You heard me.
01:06:51You think I'm blind?
01:06:53I know what's going on here.
01:06:55You've been hostile to Evelyn for the jump.
01:06:58And I know why.
01:06:59It's because she did time, just like your ex who ghosted you.
01:07:02And you're taking out on her unfairly.
01:07:04Taking it out on her?
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07You think you know all her past?
01:07:10Idiot.
01:07:12Keys.
01:07:13Ow!
01:07:13Oh, hey.
01:07:14You all right?
01:07:15Um, I think that I might have twisted my ankle.
01:07:17Can you take me home now?
01:07:19Yeah.
01:07:19Let's go.
01:07:23You're mine, Evelyn.
01:07:26Can't escape.
01:07:30Please, sir.
01:07:32Help me save this child.
01:07:34He got hit.
01:07:36Saving my dog.
01:07:37He has to get to a hospital.
01:07:39Please.
01:07:41This kid.
01:07:45This kid is driving a wedge between me and Evelyn.
01:07:48But my instinct still kicked in, and I took him to surgery.
01:07:56The patient is bleeding out.
01:07:58He needs a blood transfusion immediately.
01:08:00But we don't have enough RH negative blood.
01:08:02He needs a donor.
01:08:03Doctor, I'm RH negative.
01:08:05I can do it.
01:08:07Very well.
01:08:08Get him prepped.
01:08:09Come with me.
01:08:13Doctor, I'm Eric's mother.
01:08:15Is he okay?
01:08:16He needs an urgent blood transfusion.
01:08:18We'll already seek an RH negative donor.
01:08:22RH negative.
01:08:24My cousin's RH negative.
01:08:26I'll just give him a call.
01:08:27He's not going to let Eric die.
01:08:28No, no, no.
01:08:28No, you can't.
01:08:29I know you don't like Lucian.
01:08:31Your son's life is on the line.
01:08:33Let's just put that aside for you.
01:08:34It's precisely for Eric's life that I cannot let Lucian do this.
01:08:38Why not?
01:08:40Because...
01:08:40Because what?
01:08:41Tell me.
01:08:43Because he is Eric's father.
01:08:45What?
01:08:46What?
01:08:4799.7% match.
01:08:50Transfusion is not recommended.
01:08:52What does this mean?
01:08:53The patient's immunity is low.
01:08:55Blood from a close relative could be rejected or cause complications.
01:08:58As the child's father, you cannot donate.
01:09:04Father?
01:09:06Me?
01:09:07I'm that child's father.
01:09:09Sir, you brought him here yourself and didn't realize he was your child?
01:09:14I...
01:09:16I didn't know.
01:09:27Lisa, put out a public call for RH negative blood donors.
01:09:31Offer $100,000.
01:09:33Actually, offer a million dollars.
01:09:40Evelyn, you lied to me.
01:09:42How could you?
01:09:46My son.
01:09:49I have a son.
01:09:52How are you going to explain this?
01:09:59This is crazy.
01:10:01I have to call him.
01:10:02No, you cannot tell Lucian.
01:10:04No, you cannot tell Lucian.
01:10:08Eric is his son.
01:10:11I'm Lucian's ex-girlfriend.
01:10:14What?
01:10:15The taboo topic in the Lowell family.
01:10:20Makes perfect sense.
01:10:22No wonder why he acted all weird when he started showing up.
01:10:25Why he made that bet.
01:10:27So you're the one that broke his heart and soul.
01:10:30But why?
01:10:31Why keep it a secret?
01:10:33Why have him hate you?
01:10:36Because his father, Robert Lowell, told me that my criminal record was a stain on the Lowell family.
01:10:42And that if I were to have Lucian's child, that child would be taken away from me and raised by
01:10:47them.
01:10:47And I would rather that Lucian hate me than...
01:10:51have Eric taken away from me.
01:10:54So please, just don't tell him.
01:10:56I'm begging you.
01:10:58I won't.
01:11:00I understand.
01:11:05I don't agree.
01:11:09Lucian.
01:11:11How long were you standing there?
01:11:13Long enough to hear everything.
01:11:16I heard that Eric is my son.
01:11:18And that you're trying to deprive me of my rights as his father.
01:11:24I've got some nerve, by the way.
01:11:26I didn't have a choice.
01:11:29I can't lose Eric.
01:11:31He's my entire world.
01:11:33But what about me?
01:11:34Am I disposable?
01:11:36You have your mother.
01:11:38You have your father.
01:11:39You have your family.
01:11:41All I have is Eric.
01:11:44I can't lose him.
01:11:46You've got me.
01:11:48You'll always have me.
01:11:50All right?
01:11:51Trust me.
01:11:53I'll protect you.
01:11:55No one has taken Eric from you.
01:11:57Not my father.
01:11:58Not anyone else from my family.
01:12:00Okay?
01:12:04What about if your father or your family tries to take Eric?
01:12:09Are you going to stand up in court?
01:12:11If you do, the entire world is going to know that Eric's mother is a criminal.
01:12:17He's going to be ridiculed.
01:12:19I can't.
01:12:20I don't want that.
01:12:24I just want him to grow up in peace.
01:12:28I don't want him to be bullied because of me.
01:12:32I know it's so selfish.
01:12:33But I cannot lose him.
01:12:37I can't.
01:12:42Please.
01:12:43Leave us.
01:12:45Leave Eric.
01:12:46Don't stand up to the rules.
01:12:51Just don't drag us into this mess.
01:12:53Please.
01:13:00I'll do what we'll say.
01:13:03I'll leave you.
01:13:05Leave Eric.
01:13:06I'll marry someone else.
01:13:09I'll be right back.
01:13:11I'll be right back.
01:13:13Leave.
01:13:36I'll be right back.
01:13:49Who asked you to afford my maternity test results?
01:13:52Tell me now or I'll kill you.
01:13:54It was Laura, your fiancée.
01:13:56She paid me $2 billion and asked me to notify her of the results.
01:14:01She really is something.
01:14:04Before you take the stand, you better stay somewhere safe.
01:14:07Oh!
01:14:09Guards!
01:14:10Take them.
01:14:24Lucian, I heard you had Laura's brother sent to jail.
01:14:28Yes.
01:14:30We're already formally engaged, the ladies.
01:14:33You're going to marry Laura in a month.
01:14:35I hope you can withdraw your lawsuit to avoid tarnishing our image.
01:14:39Why didn't you ask the Langley family to drop Evelyn's charges six years ago?
01:14:42That was entirely different.
01:14:45That matter had been settled on.
01:14:47Is that so?
01:14:48Do you really think I'm better off marrying someone like Laura or Evelyn?
01:14:53At least Laura hasn't been to jail.
01:14:57Okay.
01:15:00I'll marry Laura next month.
01:15:02But on one condition.
01:15:05That she can bear me a child.
01:15:13Dear father, even though Laura's never been to jail, you'll see how easily she can destroy
01:15:19your precious family on her.
01:15:24Really?
01:15:24Really, Mr. Lowell, did Lucian really agree to marry me next month?
01:15:30Of course I can produce a Lowell heir.
01:15:35Did you hear that, Bob?
01:15:36I am going to marry Lucian by the end of next month.
01:15:40Yeah.
01:15:41I also heard you promise the Lowell family an heir.
01:15:45Aren't you infertile?
01:15:47How are you going to do that?
01:15:48Maybe I can't give birth, but I have another child in mind.
01:15:56Are you serious?
01:15:59Lucian will kill me if I do.
01:16:01No, he won't.
01:16:01Besides, once I get custody of the Lowell heir, it won't matter who the biological mother
01:16:08is, because I'll be the legal mother of the Lowell heir.
01:16:12And if they got you out of jail this time, definitely do it again, just to protect their
01:16:16name.
01:16:17Plus, on side of my Lucian, I can help you clear all of your gambling debts.
01:16:24Deal.
01:16:27Okay, honey.
01:16:28So, Mom has to go to work, and Uncle Vance is going to take you to school, and then Mommy's
01:16:31going to pick you up and get you ice cream, all right?
01:16:33Okay, Mommy.
01:16:37Vance, thank you so much for helping out with him, really.
01:16:41I don't know what I would do without you.
01:16:43I'm happy to help.
01:16:47All right, bud.
01:16:48Time to go to school.
01:16:49Say goodbye to Mommy.
01:16:50Bye-bye, Mommy.
01:16:52Bye-bye.
01:16:53Bye.
01:16:54Have fun.
01:17:02Eveline?
01:17:06Eric, your mother has been missing for 24 hours.
01:17:10Okay, so for your safety, we're going to have you stay with your Auntie Laura.
01:17:13She'll be your temporary guardian until we find your mother.
01:17:17Uncle Vance, save me!
01:17:18Mommy isn't missing!
01:17:20She was taken by the bad guys!
01:17:21Okay, bye.
01:17:23Let's go.
01:17:24Vance, you should know that Eric's aunt is the best candidate for temporary guardianship.
01:17:29I know, but...
01:17:31If nobody has any objections, I'll take the kid.
01:17:34Give me your hand, bud.
01:17:38Eric!
01:17:39Eric!
01:17:40No!
01:17:43Don't worry.
01:17:44I'll take good care of you.
01:17:59Look, I'm going to give you this chance.
01:18:01Everyone's been kidnapped.
01:18:02I know.
01:18:02I've already tracked down the kidnap.
01:18:04I know you love her.
01:18:06I can't be with you.
01:18:07Let me correct you.
01:18:08She loves me, too.
01:18:10Enough drinking.
01:18:11You lose her, we'll be shark-baked.
01:18:12Oh, don't worry.
01:18:13In a place like this, she can't run off.
01:18:16Drink.
01:18:16Drink up.
01:18:34Lucian!
01:18:35You...
01:18:36Shh!
01:18:37Shh!
01:18:38The content side are passed out.
01:18:41They'll come to you in a minute.
01:18:42Listen to me now.
01:18:43Do you know who kidnapped you?
01:18:47It was Bob.
01:18:49I overheard him instructing them.
01:18:52Do you know why you kidnapped you?
01:18:55I guess my presence is just an eyesore to them or something.
01:18:59No.
01:19:00They want to take what you treasure most.
01:19:03Maura isn't able to have children alone.
01:19:06So, she wants to take yours.
01:19:09No, she can't!
01:19:10Shh!
01:19:11Shh!
01:19:11Shh!
01:19:12Shh!
01:19:13Do you trust me?
01:19:16Do you trust me?
01:19:20Next, I need you to answer these questions truthfully.
01:19:24Is Eric my son?
01:19:29Edie, I need you to tell me the truth so I can help you.
01:19:32Is Eric my son?
01:19:36Yes.
01:19:38Yes.
01:19:39Bob was the one who put you in jail six years ago, wasn't he?
01:19:43Yes.
01:19:45Yes.
01:19:47Do you love me?
01:19:48Yes.
01:19:51Do you love me?
01:19:54I knew it.
01:19:56I knew you loved me.
01:20:06Okay. I have a plan to stop Laura from taking Eric.
01:20:09I need you to be brave.
01:20:11Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do anything for Eric.
01:20:15Listen. You have to.
01:20:30Laura, you're the one who kidnapped me?
01:20:33Why?
01:20:35Let me count the reasons.
01:20:38Hey, you like my dress?
01:20:42You designed it six years ago for your wedding with Lucien.
01:20:45And now it's mine.
01:20:47Oh, look at this.
01:20:49Mommy isn't missing. She was taken by the bad guy.
01:20:53Why?
01:20:53What did you do to my son?
01:20:55Give me back my son!
01:20:57Evelyn, your son is fine.
01:20:59Well, he's my son now, actually.
01:21:02He is the Lowell heir, after all.
01:21:06Oh, and look.
01:21:13It's your favorite church, Evelyn.
01:21:15I remember hearing you tell Lucien that you wanted to get married there.
01:21:19And now it's mine.
01:21:25Wait.
01:21:26You overheard.
01:21:28Six years ago our relationship was a secret.
01:21:31So how did you know, Laura?
01:21:34Oh!
01:21:35Yeah, you're right.
01:21:36I accidentally walked by one of your dates.
01:21:40Otherwise I wouldn't have known that a broke bitch like you could actually be with the Lowell heir.
01:21:48So you've been in love with Lucien this entire time?
01:21:51No.
01:21:51No, not so much Lucien as I am in love with the powerful Lowell family.
01:21:56Their kind of wealth is something that my family would never be able to obtain on their own.
01:22:01And I want the best life for myself.
01:22:06Do you know why you went to jail six years ago, Evelyn?
01:22:10It's because you were the one thing in my life that was keeping me from my best life.
01:22:18So when Bob set me up six years ago, that was your idea?
01:22:23Well, of course.
01:22:24Bob's a moron, but at least he's useful.
01:22:27So he helped me put you in jail six years ago and today he's going to take the fall for
01:22:31your murder.
01:22:32Are you insane?
01:22:34You've gone too far, Laura. That's your brother.
01:22:37Too far?
01:22:39Everybody has the right to pursue their own happiness, right?
01:22:43Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the bride.
01:22:51Watch closely, my dear sister, while I marry the man that you so love.
01:22:58You're gonna pay for this, Laura.
01:23:00Pay what? The price for being a part of the wealthiest family?
01:23:06Oh, oh, and I almost forgot.
01:23:09So when that door closes, all of the oxygen in here will cease.
01:23:13So you have about two hours to survive, give or take.
01:23:16And while that happens, you get to watch while I marry Lucien.
01:23:21Or I'm gonna take your man and your child.
01:23:26And guess what?
01:23:27Spoiler.
01:23:28Bob's the killer.
01:23:30Laura!
01:23:31Laura!
01:23:36Where is the bride?
01:23:39So when Bob set me up six years ago, that was your idea?
01:23:42What is that sound?
01:23:44Well, of course.
01:23:46Bob's a moron, but at least he's useful.
01:23:48Oh my goodness, is that Evelyn Langley, the missing girl?
01:23:52What is she doing there?
01:23:56You peasants.
01:23:58Never seen such a luxurious wedding.
01:24:02I guess what?
01:24:03Spoiler.
01:24:04Bob's the killer.
01:24:06Turn it off.
01:24:07Turn it off!
01:24:14Lucy, this is all just a big misunderstanding.
01:24:18Let's please continue with the wedding.
01:24:29Evie!
01:24:37I'm sorry.
01:24:40I regret everything.
01:24:42I thought that I could let you go.
01:24:45And that I could just wish you well.
01:24:47But I can't watch you marry another woman.
01:24:49Because you're mine.
01:24:51And you can only marry me.
01:24:53Because I love you.
01:24:55And I love you so much.
01:24:58I know.
01:24:58Good girl.
01:25:00You did great.
01:25:29Good girl.
01:25:32Vance.
01:25:33Get the footage from the storeroom.
01:25:34And use it to sue Laura for framing Evelyn six years ago.
01:25:38No, no, no.
01:25:38And for kidnapping and attempted murder.
01:25:42Evelyn, we were just joking.
01:25:44I was joking.
01:25:45You have to believe me, Lucian.
01:25:47You were just playing hide and go seek.
01:25:50Right.
01:25:51Evelyn?
01:25:53Save it for the jury.
01:25:55Laura.
01:25:57Bob.
01:25:58My brother.
01:25:59You can convince Lucian that I was just kidding.
01:26:03Right, Bob?
01:26:04I'm just a moron.
01:26:06Remember your snake goat for murder?
01:26:12Robert.
01:26:13You once said that I was the perfect match for Lucian.
01:26:18I...
01:26:18The Lowell family does not need a rich daughter-in-law, but a clean record.
01:26:23You framed your stepsister that had her sent to prison for six years just to steal her fiancé.
01:26:29Then you kidnapped her and tried to murder her.
01:26:33It was broadcast worldwide.
01:26:35You're going away for a long time.
01:26:39No.
01:26:40No.
01:26:49I love you.
01:26:51I love you so much.
01:27:10And I'll follow you in just a touch on me.
