Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Grace Smith, the court denies your third appeal. The conviction for grand marceny stands.
00:00:07Well, well, well. That's three strikes, Grace. Time to pay the fiddler.
00:00:12Accept your fate.
00:00:14Why did you set me up? How could you do this to me? I'm your daughter.
00:00:18Hey! Stepdaughter. Unflatter yourself.
00:00:21You promised Mom. On her grave you swore that you would take care of me. Why?
00:00:29That's because it was always about the payout, Grace.
00:00:33Sweetheart, how do you think you got that bastard kid in your gut in the first place?
00:00:42That's right. I'm the one who drugged you that night.
00:00:46And I sold to a client that was willing to pay top dollar because you were a virgin.
00:00:51You bastard! You are going to run out!
00:00:54Help! I swore you were going to run out!
00:01:03Control, an inmate's water broke. She's in labor. I need a medic now.
00:01:08Please, she's definitely drinking. Let's get proud.
00:01:11We need to perform in an emergency seat section.
00:01:23Boss, we ran into a dead-end again.
00:01:2910 months. 18 PI firms and you were telling me she just vanished.
00:01:35Sir, with all due respect, all you gave us was that she smelled like lavender? We need something else to
00:01:41go on.
00:01:42Something else.
00:01:44I was drugged that night. It was a blur. I...
00:01:48Ooh...
00:01:51Lavender...
00:01:52Is so toxic.
00:01:54The only thing I remember is that she had a raised scar on her shoulder blade in the shape of
00:02:01a crescent moon.
00:02:01Okay. Update the search parameters.
00:02:05Where are you hiding?
00:02:12Hey, baby.
00:02:14Doctor, where's my baby?
00:02:16I'm sorry, Miss Smith.
00:02:17Stillborn.
00:02:19We couldn't find a heartbeat.
00:02:21No!
00:02:23No!
00:02:26No!
00:02:28No!
00:02:29No!
00:02:31No!
00:02:32I greased the wheel on the doctor.
00:02:34As far as Grace knows, this kid was born dead.
00:02:36You take it.
00:02:37You go find Jared.
00:02:39The man who took Grace's virginity is Jared.
00:02:42The billionaire Jared Cole?
00:02:44Exactly.
00:02:44I was supposed to sell her virginity to somebody else, but I sent her to the wrong room.
00:02:48Next thing you know, Jared's in there, drugged out of his mind.
00:02:50Here we are.
00:02:52That bitch, Grace.
00:02:54She really lucked out.
00:02:56One night with Jared and she lands his heir.
00:02:58But now, all her luck belongs to me.
00:03:00Thanks, Dad.
00:03:01Hey, don't thank me.
00:03:03Pay me, girl.
00:03:04Relax.
00:03:05I'm your real daughter, remember?
00:03:07Once I'm Mrs. Cole, you'll be swimming in cash.
00:03:09So, when can you leave the hospital?
00:03:11Year, maybe?

00:15:22That kiss feels familiar.
00:15:25Just like that night.
00:15:27Oh my god, he's definitely huge down there.
00:15:32Hello, Earth to Grace. That's your boss. Are you insane?
00:15:35I-I-I'm so sorry, boss.
00:15:39I should probably get back to-
00:15:41Uh, my towel.
00:15:44What?
00:15:47Do you, uh, mind giving me my towel back?
00:15:52Yeah.

00:16:22I should go.
00:16:24I should go.
00:16:29I should go.
00:16:29We'll see about that back at the precinct.
00:16:31Hand behind your back.
00:16:32No.
00:16:33No.
00:16:34I'm not going.
00:16:34You framed me years ago, and I'm not going to let you do it again.
00:16:38Grace Smith, you are resisting arrest.
00:16:40Comply now, or I will put you on the ground.
00:16:43Hey!
00:16:47You try that, and you're losing the badge.
00:16:50Grace is right.
00:16:51If you lay a finger without solid evidence, I'm considering that an abuse of power.
00:16:56Call the FBI.
00:16:57What?
00:16:58Wait!
00:17:04We'll review the evidence first.
00:17:06I was just showing the officer where to go.
00:17:09Security protocol.
00:17:15Um, thank you, boss, for believing in me.
00:17:20If the judge had trusted me in the way that he just did, maybe I wouldn't have gone to prison.
00:17:28Then, um, you show me your gratitude.
00:17:31What?
00:17:32Come with me.
00:17:37If you really want to thank me, sit and eat with me.
00:17:41He noticed I was hungry and turned it into me thanking him just to save my pride?
00:17:47He's so powerful.
00:17:48So untouchable.
00:17:50Yet, he's actually kind.
00:18:01Oh, uh, you've got some there.
00:18:06No, actually, you're-
00:18:08That-
00:18:08Did I get it?
00:18:11Let me get it for you.
00:18:12Okay.
00:18:18Who happened here?
00:18:20You smell intoxicating.
00:18:27I-I need to go check on Alex.
00:18:30Hey, whoa.
00:18:34Get a grip, Cole.
00:18:35Why did she feel more like that night than Claire ever did?
00:18:38This is ridiculous.
00:18:40Looks like someone needs a diaper change.
00:18:43My little prince is such a clean freak, isn't he?
00:18:46Okay.
00:18:48Woo!
00:18:50Incoming, little sniper.
00:18:53Put in, buddy.
00:18:55Watching her with Alex.
00:18:56That's the sexiest way a woman can be.
00:18:59There you go.
00:19:00Nice and dry.
00:19:01Back to dreamland.
00:19:02Hey, um, take a shower.
00:19:05I only have my clothes in here, but this should do.
00:19:08I have a board meeting, but make yourself at home.
00:19:16He's incredible, a billionaire, a hands-on dad, and he actually cares about his stuff.
00:19:21His wife must be truly wonderful to deserve a man like that.
00:19:27Okay, King.
00:19:29Stay away.
00:19:34Where is the shirt?
00:19:39Stay away.
00:19:41You idiot.
00:19:43You left it out there.
00:19:46It's what?
00:19:47It's...
00:19:48His?
00:19:50Oh my god.
00:19:52He's definitely...
00:19:54Huge down there.
00:20:06Snap.
00:20:07Out of it, Grace.
00:20:09He's your boss.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:17Grace is here.
00:20:18I'm here.
00:20:19Hey, I'll take care of him, okay?
00:20:21You get dressed, please.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:23Great.
00:20:27Oh my god.
00:20:29Oh my god.
00:20:32Okay.
00:20:39Hey, Grace, Grace.
00:20:41In front of the other
00:20:44Marching forward
00:20:45You
00:20:56I'm dead.
00:20:57I forgot the shirt again.
00:20:59And there's no more towels.
00:21:02Should I ask him for help?
00:21:04No way.
00:21:05He's gonna think I'm trying to seduce him.
00:21:07I'm getting fired 100%.
00:21:11Hey, um...
00:21:12You forgot your shirt.
00:21:20Now that I think about it,
00:21:22I've never seen a scar like that
00:21:24on Claire's shoulder.
00:21:31If you would like to leave a message,
00:21:33please press...
00:21:47Jared called twice?
00:21:49He never calls.
00:21:56Didn't pick up.
00:21:57Must be mad.
00:22:00What am I gonna do?
00:22:03I'll bring him his favorite dessert
00:22:05and apologize.
00:22:10Grace!
00:22:11Grace Smith!
00:22:12Get your ass out here!
00:22:14I'm here, I'm here.
00:22:17You bitch!
00:22:18You don't park your trash cart
00:22:20in the middle of my lobby.
00:22:21You're staining the coal image!
00:22:23First day on the job
00:22:24and she's already screwing up.
00:22:26Felons.
00:22:27They don't belong here.
00:22:28And no, I didn't mean to leave it.
00:22:31I just, I found an inhaler on the floor
00:22:32and I was returning it to its owner
00:22:33before anyone got hurt.
00:22:35Lost and found is at the front desk.
00:22:37We don't need a cleaner playing hero.
00:22:40And what the hell are you wearing?
00:22:42Did you just crawl out of a man's bed?
00:22:44No, no, no.
00:22:45It's not like that.
00:22:46Shut up!
00:22:47You think using Master Alex
00:22:49as a stepping stone
00:22:50gives you a free pass
00:22:51to do whatever the hell you want?
00:22:54You're fired!
00:22:58No, I didn't!
00:23:00Didn't what?
00:23:01Then why are you wearing a man's shirt?
00:23:03Where's your uniform?
00:23:04She treats the office like a brothel.
00:23:06Get out, you hooker!
00:23:08Get out, hooker!
00:23:10Get out, you hooker!
00:23:12Get out, hooker!
00:23:13You heard them.
00:23:15You're a stain on this company.
00:23:17I'm firing you for cause.
00:23:20Security!
00:23:25Take this trash out to the curb.
00:23:27No, please.
00:23:28I need this stuff.
00:23:29Hey, hey, hey!
00:23:32Get your hands off her!
00:23:33Get your hands off her!
00:23:36Boss, thank God you're here.
00:23:39Explain.
00:23:40It's her.
00:23:40She abandoned her car in the lobby
00:23:42to sleep with men.
00:23:43For the sake of the company's reputation,
00:23:46I'm removing the cancer.
00:23:47No, that's a lie.
00:23:49I just, I found an asthma inhaler on the ground
00:23:51and I just was returning it to the owner
00:23:53before anything bad happened.
00:23:54Oh, please.
00:23:55Look at her!
00:23:56Out of uniform and wearing a man's shirt?
00:23:59Were you returning that inhaler?
00:24:01Or an aphrodisiac?
00:24:03Boss, she's a gold digger.
00:24:05She's using the coal group
00:24:07as a hunting ground for rich husbands.
00:24:09If we don't cut her loose,
00:24:10we'll look like a joke.
00:24:11Why not?
00:24:12Look, her outfit got ruined.
00:24:16Ruined? Why me?
00:24:21Ruined?
00:24:23Jared?
00:24:26My asthma was acting up.
00:24:27Luckily, this young lady
00:24:29sprinted to find my inhaler.
00:24:30Otherwise,
00:24:31you would be losing a good friend.
00:24:34Is, is this true?
00:24:36Thank you, beautiful lady.
00:24:38You ruined your uniform saving me.
00:24:40I can't want that slide.
00:24:41Here.
00:24:42The Astro Group Black Card.
00:24:49Unlimited access at any of our malls.
00:24:52Buy yourself a new wardrobe.
00:24:53No, no, no.
00:24:54I, I, I didn't do it for a reward or anything.
00:24:56Take it.
00:24:57I don't know who shirt you're wearing,
00:24:59but you saved me.
00:25:01So I'm just returning the favor.
00:25:07It's not necessary.
00:25:09Helping guests is in the job description here at Cole Group.
00:25:12If any of my employees need a reward,
00:25:16the signature comes from me,
00:25:18not from you.
00:25:20Relax, Jared.
00:25:22You reward your employees your way.
00:25:23I thank my savior my way.
00:25:26Why so tense?
00:25:32Alas,
00:25:33did you fall for this little cleaner too?
00:25:38Don't be ridiculous!
00:25:39That's impossible!
00:25:41No, Mr. Astro,
00:25:42please don't joke like that.
00:25:43Mr. Cole
00:25:44has a beautiful wife
00:25:45and son at home.
00:25:47Please don't go on his reputation.
00:25:48Just a fiance.
00:25:49And who knows?
00:25:50Maybe that's why he wants to be my rival.
00:25:52A fiance is still a commitment.
00:25:54They're very much in love.
00:25:56Please don't say anything like that.
00:25:58Relax.
00:25:59It's just a joke.
00:26:00Jared lost his parents in a car crash when he was little.
00:26:03It killed him inside when he saw the other kids with their parents.
00:26:06So he would never let his own child go through that.
00:26:08No wonder he's so attentive to Alex.
00:26:11But hey,
00:26:13I don't have a fiance.
00:26:15And I definitely don't have a child.
00:26:16How about dinner?
00:26:17Listen, Alden,
00:26:18I think your father is waiting for you at the club.
00:26:23Shit.
00:26:24The old man will kill me.
00:26:26I gotta run.
00:26:27What was your name again, cutie?
00:26:29I don't think your father would accept you two dating.
00:26:33So,
00:26:34run along.
00:26:35Right.
00:26:36To him,
00:26:37I'm just a convict.
00:26:38Someone who would ruin anyone's reputation.
00:26:41Jared,
00:26:43you are such a buzzkill.
00:26:52You saved a client and shielded the company name.
00:26:55Good work.
00:26:56I'm authorizing a public accommodation,
00:26:58a $100,000 bonus,
00:27:01and a promotion.
00:27:02Head of executive housekeeping.
00:27:06Thank you, boss.
00:27:08And as for you,
00:27:10inciting a mob
00:27:12against a co-worker
00:27:14in the lobby.
00:27:16Slander.
00:27:16You're demoted.
00:27:18Junior associate.
00:27:19One more strike,
00:27:21you're out of here.
00:27:23Yes, sir.
00:27:24Understood.
00:27:26What are you waiting on?
00:27:27You only have one job now.
00:27:29That's
00:27:29maintain my office.
00:27:31Come with me.
00:27:33Yes, sir.
00:27:36Enjoy it while it lasts, jailbird.
00:27:39I will bury you.
00:27:45I get it.
00:27:46In his eyes,
00:27:47I'm just a convict.
00:27:49Damaged goods.
00:27:50Not good enough for anyone.
00:27:53Look,
00:27:54Alden's marriage
00:27:54was arranged
00:27:56before he was born.
00:27:57If you get involved,
00:27:58you are just a side piece.
00:27:59You will get hurt.
00:28:01Thanks, boss.
00:28:03But
00:28:03Mr. Astor
00:28:04was just being nice
00:28:05because I helped him out.
00:28:06There's nothing going on between us.
00:28:08Why did you let Alden
00:28:09take the credit?
00:28:10Alex
00:28:11was the one
00:28:12that ruined your uniform.
00:28:13Because I wouldn't have bought that.
00:28:16I would have blamed you.
00:28:18I wouldn't have ruined
00:28:19your reputation.
00:28:21Tell the truth next time.
00:28:27She wears her heart
00:28:28on her sleeve.
00:28:29Everything she feels
00:28:30is written on her face.
00:28:32So real.
00:28:33I can't even look away.
00:28:47No, no, no.
00:28:47Don't move.
00:28:49Does it hurt?
00:28:51Not anymore.
00:29:01Boss, I...
00:29:04What is it?
00:29:05Uh, I'll...
00:29:06I'll be...
00:29:06Stay.
00:29:07Speak.
00:29:08Your fiancé
00:29:10is downstairs.
00:29:11She says she feels
00:29:12terrible about
00:29:13missing your call
00:29:14earlier.
00:29:14She's bringing up
00:29:15a peace offering.
00:29:16Your favorite dessert.
00:29:18The fiancé, Alex's mother.
00:29:20I wonder what kind
00:29:21of woman she is.
00:29:22She must be incredible.
00:29:23Okay, let's go.
00:29:28Jared, I'm here.
00:29:33Jared, darling,
00:29:35I come bearing sweets
00:29:36for you.
00:29:37Boss's fiancé.
00:29:38That voice.
00:29:40Why does it sound
00:29:41so familiar?
00:29:53Um, boss, I-I think
00:29:55your fiancé just
00:29:56loved?
00:29:57Ignore it.
00:29:59The boss really
00:30:00got mad just because
00:30:01his fiancé didn't pick up.
00:30:03He must really love her.
00:30:06Grace?
00:30:07Here?
00:30:08How?
00:30:09Dad said he sent
00:30:10her back to the cage.
00:30:10How could she be here
00:30:11with Jared?
00:30:18What the hell, Dad?
00:30:20You said she was
00:30:21going back to prison.
00:30:22Why is she playing
00:30:23house with Jared?
00:30:24Hey, will you relax?
00:30:26Come on, now.
00:30:27Rome wasn't built
00:30:28in a day.
00:30:29Look, if plan A fails,
00:30:31we'll go to plan B.
00:30:32Yeah, man,
00:30:32I'm letting that ride,
00:30:33brother.
00:30:34Yeah, yeah,
00:30:35put it all black.
00:30:36Let's Rome.
00:30:37Let's do it.
00:30:38Dad, are you even
00:30:39listening to me?
00:30:40Do you have any idea
00:30:41what happens
00:30:41if Jared realizes
00:30:42who she is?
00:30:43We lose everything.
00:30:49Dad?
00:30:50Hello?
00:30:52Hello?
00:30:59God,
00:31:00Jared,
00:31:01you scared me.
00:31:02how long have you
00:31:03been standing there?
00:31:04I can't even say
00:31:05goodnight to my son.
00:31:07Oh, well,
00:31:08Amy took him.
00:31:09He was fussing.
00:31:10Fussing?
00:31:11Claire,
00:31:12you're his mother,
00:31:13and I haven't seen you
00:31:14take care of him once.
00:31:16Not once.
00:31:17You know, honestly,
00:31:18the new higher grace
00:31:19is even more of a mother
00:31:20than you are.
00:31:22You're comparing me
00:31:23to a cleaner.
00:31:24She may be the cleaner,
00:31:25but at least she treats
00:31:26my son
00:31:27like her own.
00:31:29You treat him
00:31:29like a burden.
00:31:30If you don't like kids,
00:31:31the door's wide open.
00:31:33Leave.
00:31:33No, no, no, no,
00:31:34don't say that.
00:31:35Jared,
00:31:36don't send me away,
00:31:36please.
00:31:37I'm sorry.
00:31:38I just,
00:31:39I'm jealous,
00:31:40okay?
00:31:41Ever since I moved in,
00:31:43you know,
00:31:44you only care about Alex.
00:31:47You never touch me anymore.
00:31:49I feel like you love him
00:31:50more than you love me.
00:31:53I'll change.
00:31:54I promise.
00:31:59I've never seen a scar
00:32:01like that on Claire's shoulder.
00:32:04Jared,
00:32:05are you finally gonna take me?
00:32:11Finally gonna take me?
00:32:14Where'd you get this scar?
00:32:16Who?
00:32:17That?
00:32:19I fell out of a tree
00:32:20when I was younger.
00:32:21It's ugly, isn't it?
00:32:24No.
00:32:26It's fine.
00:32:27Claire,
00:32:28you're his mother.
00:32:29Take care of Alex.
00:32:34Thank God I did my homework.
00:32:36I copied every mark
00:32:37on Grace's body
00:32:38before I kicked her out.
00:32:40But he's getting suspicious.
00:32:42It's you.
00:32:43I need to get pregnant fast.
00:32:49Yo.
00:32:49Jared,
00:32:50slow down.
00:32:51You hate getting trashed.
00:32:54What's he?
00:32:56Why is it
00:32:57every time I see you
00:32:57I just
00:32:59just want to be near her?
00:33:03Just want to
00:33:05kiss her.
00:33:10What am I? Some hopeless teenager in love?
00:33:16Who is this girl you're talking about?
00:33:18Never mind, man. It's just when I'm drunk because I feel this way, probably, you know?
00:33:27Whatever, dude.
00:33:34Boss?
00:33:44There you are. Some punk just like that night two years ago.
00:34:04It's lavender. It smells nice.
00:34:11Okay, get a room. Yeah. Let's go.
00:34:24A scar. A crystal moon scar.
00:34:31No, boss. I think you're for- you're thinking I'm someone else.
00:34:39What the fuck?
00:34:44Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:34:48Boss, who would throw a cheesecake? Honestly? Who would attack a billionaire with dairy? Look at this. He's breaking out
00:34:58into hives. He's severely allergic to dairy protein. Everyone says they don't know. That's on me. I always black out
00:35:07when I get drunk.
00:35:08Look. I'm pulling that security footage from the club. And when I find out who did this, I will sue
00:35:15them for assault and battery. I'll bankrupt them!
00:35:19Bankrupt? I have twelve dollars in my bank account. If he sues me, I'm going back to prison for life.
00:35:25Um, hip-hop boss? I, um, I finished cleaning the office. Can I be excused?
00:35:32He recognized me, I'm dead.
00:35:35Go.
00:35:48Mr. Oster, um, if you're looking for Jared, he's just-
00:35:52I'm not here for him. I'm here for the cheesecake ninja.
00:35:56Excuse me?
00:35:58You got guts, little cleaner.
00:36:01Rejecting Jared Cole by smashing a dessert he's allergic to into his face? Legendary.
00:36:06Shhh. Shhh. He doesn't know that it was me. He was blackout drunk.
00:36:11Of course he doesn't. Because I paid a fortune for exclusive rights to this photo.
00:36:20Thank you, Alden.
00:36:22Then how about one date? Right now?
00:36:26You say yes, and I delete the photo for good.
00:36:29Just one date?
00:36:31Just one.
00:36:32Okay. Fine.
00:36:39Hi, boss.
00:36:45Grace.
00:36:46Grace seems... scared of you.
00:36:48She's... she's not scared. She's... serious and focused. Like... like everyone here.
00:36:57Yeah.
00:37:00Mr. Oster?
00:37:02Please. Call me Alden.
00:37:05Alden?
00:37:07Looks like her work mode only really works with you.
00:37:13Grace.
00:37:14Do you have amnesia?
00:37:16Or do you choose to ignore my warnings?
00:37:20Whoa. Easy there, Jared.
00:37:22Since when does your employee handbook cover dates?
00:37:25You're her boss, not her dad.
00:37:27Are you dating?
00:37:30No, no, no, definitely not.
00:37:35Mr. Oster, I mean, Alden, had just done me a huge favor and I was just gonna buy him a
00:37:40sandwich to say thank you.
00:37:42Right?
00:37:44Play along or he'll fire me.
00:37:48Right.
00:37:50Just a sandwich.
00:37:53Tell you what, Jared, if you're so concerned about your star employee, why don't you come with us?
00:37:57My treat. You know I don't mind picking up the tab.
00:38:00Unlike you, Alden, I have a job. I have a merger to close.
00:38:05Suit yourself.
00:38:07Come on, cutie.
00:38:14Looks like you need to start looking for a new head of housekeeping.
00:38:18She's gone.
00:38:18Why?
00:38:19That's that Alden Astor playbook.
00:38:22Versus a fancy dinner.
00:38:24Then Cartier.
00:38:25Then a trip to Paris.
00:38:27Even A-list celebrities fall for that routine.
00:38:31She'll be resigning by Monday.
00:38:32Keys.
00:38:33Fox.
00:38:34What about the merger meeting?
00:38:36Cancel it.
00:38:36I gotta go shopping.
00:38:38Alex needs diapers.
00:38:40Let's go.
00:38:40Come on.
00:38:41Father.
00:38:47Coaching my staff?
00:38:48Not on my watch.
00:38:50Don't move.
00:38:50I'll be right back.
00:38:51Gelato?
00:38:52Sure.
00:39:09It's breathtaking.
00:39:10It's half a million dollars.
00:39:12Move along.
00:39:15I know.
00:39:16I was just looking.
00:39:19It's beautiful.
00:39:20Well, we don't do window shopping here.
00:39:22And you look like a stray.
00:39:24You're scaring away the money.
00:39:26So why don't you fuck off?
00:39:33Boss.
00:39:34Mr. Cole, I didn't...
00:39:36Did you just say that my employee was hurting your image?
00:39:40No, I just...
00:39:41There is no company on Earth that is too good for my people.
00:39:45Get it.
00:39:46The exact one.
00:39:56Give me your hand.
00:40:00Her hand fits perfectly in mine.
00:40:03Like it was meant to be held.
00:40:06It fits perfectly.
00:40:10It's yours.
00:40:13No, no, no, no.
00:40:14I can't do this.
00:40:15It's too expensive.
00:40:18You are worth more than this ring.
00:40:21No one can ever look down on you.
00:40:30Checkmate, jailbird.
00:40:32Once Miss Cole sees this, you'll be fired.
00:40:37Grace, stop.
00:40:38Do not read into this.
00:40:40He has a fiance.
00:40:41He just hates seeing his staff bullied.
00:40:47Oh, you want to play, Big Spender?
00:40:50Game on, Jared.
00:40:54Um, boss, I really can't accept this.
00:40:57It's too much.
00:40:58Once she owns the best, she won't be impressed by the rest.
00:41:02And she certainly won't be swayed by Aldo's cheap tricks.
00:41:06It's a bonus for taking care of my son, Alex.
00:41:09Or are you saying that my son is not worth $500,000?
00:41:14No, no, no, no.
00:41:15He's absolutely priceless.
00:41:17It's just...
00:41:17Then keep the ring.
00:41:20Thank you, boss.
00:41:24Attendant, bring me the most expensive necklace in the case.
00:41:27It needs to be $500 large.
00:41:29Star of the South, $550,000.
00:41:34Good.
00:41:37Oh.
00:41:40Stun him.
00:41:42Bill me.
00:41:43No, Alden, I can't.
00:41:45This is...
00:41:46It's too much.
00:41:46Uh-oh.
00:41:47You took Jared's ring for babysitting.
00:41:49You saved my actual life.
00:41:51You think my life's not worth $50,000 more than a baby?
00:41:54That's not fair.
00:41:55You already helped me with the link.
00:41:56This is too much.
00:41:58Take it.
00:41:59Or I send a cheesecake book to Jared.
00:42:01You wouldn't.
00:42:03Try me.
00:42:10Use your words.
00:42:11Keep your hands off of her.
00:42:12We're sharing secrets.
00:42:14Jealous already?
00:42:15Come on, cutie.
00:42:16Looks like a bracelet.
00:42:18Everything.
00:42:19Everything in the store.
00:42:20Wrap up every piece of jewelry.
00:42:22I'm buying the entire inventory.
00:42:23Clark!
00:42:24Wrap up the entire inventory.
00:42:27Everything.
00:42:27Everything in the store.
00:42:29We're buying all the jewelry.
00:42:30Wrap it up.
00:42:30Clark!
00:42:31Wrap up all the clothes.
00:42:32The entire spring collection.
00:42:34Add every shoe.
00:42:36Add every handbag.
00:42:37No!
00:42:40You guys are buying this stuff for me, right?
00:42:43Yes!
00:42:44Then don't I get a say in what I accept?
00:42:46No!
00:42:47No!
00:42:48Fine!
00:42:49Then I reject it all.
00:42:51You can fire me and you can spill the secret.
00:42:53I don't care.
00:42:54I quit.
00:42:56Okay.
00:42:57Okay.
00:42:57You win.
00:42:58You decide.
00:43:00Fine.
00:43:03I'll keep the ring and the necklace and that's it.
00:43:08No, add address.
00:43:09I cannot let my gift be outdone by some trust fund baby's trinket.
00:43:16Excuse me?
00:43:17Trust fund baby?
00:43:19Oh, you heard me.
00:43:20What else do you do besides spend dad's money and ruin the family's name?
00:43:23What else is on your resume?
00:43:25Oh, that is long, Jared.
00:43:28Even for you.
00:43:29That's it.
00:43:30We are done.
00:43:32What?
00:43:33Uh...
00:43:34You see?
00:43:36Unreliable.
00:43:37Volatile.
00:43:38Not dating material.
00:43:39Boss, I know.
00:43:41I was never planning on dating him.
00:43:43Um, Mr. Cole?
00:43:45Uh, shall I...
00:43:46Shall I wrap up everything that you requested?
00:43:49No, thank you.
00:43:50And since Alden left, I should probably return this necklace.
00:43:54Well, I'm afraid Mr. Astor already paid for it.
00:43:56Why are you still talking?
00:43:58Haven't you received your termination papers yet?
00:44:01What?
00:44:01Your manager has slow reflexes, huh?
00:44:03Mr. Cole, my apologies.
00:44:05I was on a call.
00:44:07You!
00:44:07Are you insulting a guest?
00:44:17Oh, back so soon.
00:44:19I realized something halfway to the car.
00:44:21You offended me on purpose so that I'd storm off and leave you alone with beauty.
00:44:26Nice try.
00:44:27Don't you have a merger to close?
00:44:29Busy, of course, but, uh, I thought I'd swing by.
00:44:33Right.
00:44:34Well, spot check this.
00:44:35I'm a trust fund, baby.
00:44:36Which means I have all the time in the world.
00:44:39Something you clearly don't.
00:44:41Come on, cutie.
00:44:43Lunch is waiting.
00:44:44Grace.
00:44:46I actually need your help.
00:44:47It's about Alex.
00:44:49Alex?
00:44:50What's wrong?
00:44:51What happened?
00:44:52Well, he...
00:44:56He lives in the clouds.
00:44:59Nine change in the ground.
00:45:03Coming?
00:45:05Uh, yes, boss.
00:45:14Grace, why won't you just drop it?
00:45:19If you would like to leave a message...
00:45:21Dad, where the hell are you?
00:45:25Pick up!
00:45:27Welcome home, sir.
00:45:29Jared's home.
00:45:39Well done, I'm home, sir.
00:45:42Jared, you're home early!
00:45:44Jared, you're...
00:45:48That silhouette...
00:45:49Why does it look so familiar?
00:45:52Something wrong?
00:45:54Uh, no.
00:45:56Not at all.
00:45:57Let's go.
00:46:01Look, I'm sorry.
00:46:03I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but...
00:46:05Alex refuses to eat formula made by anyone else.
00:46:10I don't know if it's your technique or what, but I...
00:46:13Wanted to make a video to show the magnitudes.
00:46:15Oh, not at all.
00:46:17I'm honored to help.
00:46:19Uh...
00:46:20Is...
00:46:21Framing okay?
00:46:22Perfect.
00:46:23Okay.
00:46:24Uh...
00:46:25Well, first thing, obviously, powder.
00:46:29And then, just the bottle.
00:47:17I'm sorry, I, uh, I should probably learn while filming.
00:47:23Um, yeah.
00:47:28What am I thinking?
00:47:30I actually thought he was going to kiss me.
00:47:33Stupid girl.
00:47:40You almost kissed Grace.
00:47:45Right, so, so first we need to pour the water and then we need to check the temperature.
00:47:54Check the temperature on the back of your hand, ensuring that it's not too hot, not too cold,
00:47:59perfect for Alex.
00:48:08And then, we just add the formula according to the ratio.
00:48:13And then, we're going to shake well.
00:48:21So, the formula doesn't switch to the bottom, or this one.
00:48:35We're going to shake well.
00:48:51You know, bad girls need that too.
00:48:55And then, we're going to shake well.
00:49:29Um, uh, boss, uh, uh, I'll handle it myself.
00:49:34Yeah, uh, well, the tutorial is over, so...
00:49:39Oh!
00:49:40Ew, boy!
00:49:42It's formula, not an aphrodisiac.
00:49:48Her again?
00:49:50Hey, hey, wait!
00:49:55Weird.
00:49:57I feel like I know her.
00:50:14I need to get pregnant tonight.
00:50:15I need Jared's focus on me, not this brat.
00:50:19It just causes a little brain damage.
00:50:21Won't die.
00:50:26Get a grip, Cole.
00:50:29Claire is the mother.
00:50:30Claire is the one from that night, so why can't I get Grace out of my head?
00:50:34Why does my gut tell me she's the one I've been looking for?
00:50:41Jared, I've missed you.
00:50:48I don't think about you.
00:50:54Can't tell me like I think you do.
00:50:57Slowly, fading.
00:51:02Hearts die so soon.
00:51:04Look at what you believe.
00:51:06Yes.
00:51:23Mom, you're rough.
00:51:27Baby, don't stop. I need you.
00:51:32Claire, what the hell are you doing?
00:51:37What the hell is that smell?
00:51:40Why do you have so much perfume on? Are you trying to suffocate my child?
00:51:43Alex is asleep. I put it on because you like it.
00:51:47Sir, sir. Sir, please help.
00:51:51What happened?
00:51:52It's Alex, sir. He won't wake up, but he's vomiting and he's choking.
00:51:56Dammit! Get to the car!
00:52:10My heart. Why does it hurt?
00:52:22Hey. Is my son okay?
00:52:24He made it. Barely.
00:52:27Mr. Cole, we found a high level of sedatives in your system.
00:52:31Somebody fed that baby sleeping pills.
00:52:33A lethal dose.
00:52:34What?
00:52:35It was her. It was that psycho cleaner, Grace.
00:52:38She's a convict, Jared. A criminal.
00:52:41I'm calling 911.
00:52:43I want her locked up forever.
00:52:45No, no. Hey, hey, hey. Stop.
00:52:47Without evidence of slander.
00:52:52Tom, pull up the security footage.
00:52:55Every angle. Every second. Okay?
00:52:59Whoever tried to kill my son is a dead man.
00:53:02Go ahead. Check.
00:53:03I cut all the wires.
00:53:05You won't find jack shit.
00:53:24This?
00:53:26What is this?
00:53:27You cut the wires on the main camera.
00:53:30Smart.
00:53:31You didn't know about the pinhole cameras and the teddy bear.
00:53:35Did you?
00:53:38You poisoned him!
00:53:39Your own flesh and blood!
00:53:41You don't deserve to be his mother!
00:53:43Get out!
00:53:44I don't know about you. Please.
00:53:46Please, I did it for us.
00:53:46I love you so much. It hurts.
00:53:47I just...
00:53:48You never touch me.
00:53:50I just wanted one night where the baby was asleep
00:53:53so we can have one night.
00:53:54I'm only human.
00:53:55I need you.
00:53:56Get this trash out of my house!
00:53:58Come on, you can't.
00:53:59Alex is sick.
00:54:00Without me, he dies.
00:54:02Alex was born with renal dysplasia.
00:54:05His kidneys are failing.
00:54:07He can need a transplant any second.
00:54:08I got tested.
00:54:10I'm a perfect match.
00:54:13Look.
00:54:15I'm the only one who can save him.
00:54:20She's willing to go under the knife to save him.
00:54:22Maybe the sleeping pill wasn't malice.
00:54:25Maybe it was just sheer stupidity.
00:54:28Either way, I can't gamble with Alex's life.
00:54:31Fine.
00:54:33You can stay.
00:54:36But, let's be crystal clear.
00:54:38You are no longer my fiancee.
00:54:42Just Alex's mother.
00:54:44Thank God I used Grace's blood for the test.
00:54:46I'm hiring you a handler to learn how to actually be a mother.
00:54:51One mistake.
00:54:52Just one, and I don't care if you're a match.
00:54:55You're gone!
00:54:57I won't let you down.
00:54:59I'll make you love me again, Jared.
00:55:02Watch me.
00:55:09Morning, little cleaner.
00:55:11Good morning, Alden.
00:55:12I've got a gala tomorrow night.
00:55:15Will you be my date?
00:55:16Um...
00:55:17She's unavailable.
00:55:23Hi, boss.
00:55:25Jared.
00:55:25Perfect timing.
00:55:26I'm in a jam.
00:55:28My dad's birthday gala is tomorrow night,
00:55:29and my event planner just quit to go find herself in Bali.
00:55:33I need a recommendation.
00:55:35Someone...
00:55:35Elite.
00:55:40Boss!
00:55:41Mr. Astor!
00:55:42I have extensive experience in high-end event management.
00:55:46I'm free tomorrow and would be honored to save the day for the Astor family.
00:55:52This is it.
00:55:54I nail the Astor gala, prove I'm better than that felon, and get my title back.
00:55:59Grace.
00:56:01You're running point on the Astor gala.
00:56:04You have full access to the cold group resources.
00:56:07Make it happen.
00:56:10Lily.
00:56:11You're her assistant.
00:56:13Your answer, to her.
00:56:16Yes, boss.
00:56:17I won't let you down.
00:56:20Assistant?
00:56:21To her?
00:56:22I have to take orders from a jailbird?
00:56:35You're a piece of work, Cole.
00:56:37First you say she's too busy to be my date, but then you make her work the party?
00:56:42Make it make sense.
00:56:44Being your arm candy, it's a waste of time.
00:56:48Running the Astor gala, it's a career maker.
00:56:51Does that make sense?
00:56:54Wow, you are really looking out for...
00:56:56You know, if I didn't know about the fiancé and the kid, I'd say you're falling for a career.
00:57:04Wait, really?
00:57:08Falling?
00:57:09For Grace?
00:57:23Here.
00:57:25Let's find if I'll die for me.
00:57:28Hello, Miss Claire.
00:57:30Miss?
00:57:31Who the hell are you calling Miss?
00:57:33I'm Mrs. Cole.
00:57:34Yikes.
00:57:35Never expected the boss's fiancé to be this terrifying.
00:57:38You show me some damn respect or I will have your ass fired so fast!
00:57:43Claire?
00:57:44Jared, baby, I didn't know that you were-
00:57:46Don't ever call Tom again.
00:57:47He is my assistant, not your punching bag.
00:57:53I'm the mother of his child and somehow I rank lower than the staff?!
00:57:58Madam, the parenting coach is waiting in the parlor.
00:58:02Screw it.
00:58:05Hand me my phone.
00:58:17Lily, it's me.
00:58:19Let's get coffee.
00:58:22Grace is a felon, Miss Cole.
00:58:25And trust me, she didn't get promoted for her work ethic.
00:58:28She got it because she used what was between her legs.
00:58:32Tits out.
00:58:33Ass shaking.
00:58:35It's disgusting.
00:58:36So that's it!
00:58:38That's why Jared's being so cold to me.
00:58:40He's keeping a whore in his office.
00:58:42Exactly.
00:58:44Why else would he hand her the Astor Gala?
00:58:47He forced me, a manager, to be her assistant.
00:58:50It's humiliating.
00:58:51You worked your ass off for that title.
00:58:54And I birthed a son.
00:58:55We're not letting some jailbird freak take what's ours.
00:58:59I have a plan.
00:59:01One move and she goes straight back to the cage.
00:59:07I'm listening.
00:59:09Tomorrow is the Astor Gala.
00:59:11VIPs only.
00:59:13Anything goes wrong, she takes the fall.
00:59:17Good.
00:59:19And tomorrow, we burn her down.
00:59:34Boss!
00:59:36Is everything on track?
00:59:38Locked and loaded, I won't let you down.
00:59:41Grace, that's why I got my eye on you.
00:59:43The place looks incredible.
00:59:45Thanks, Alden.
00:59:46And thank you, boss, for trusting me.
00:59:51You ready?
00:59:52It's done.
00:59:53Laugh while you can, bitch.
00:59:55You're about to cry your eyes out.
00:59:59Boss, Mr. Astor, we have a situation.
01:00:03Bad news.
01:00:04The final act, the supermodel Rose, she's a no-show.
01:00:08You're joking?
01:00:09Tell me you're joking.
01:00:12Explain.
01:00:13It's Grace, boss.
01:00:15She has zero experience and refused my help.
01:00:18She completely botched Rose's flight schedule.
01:00:21That's a lie.
01:00:22I checked with her agent three times.
01:00:25Grace, the fact is, Rose isn't here.
01:00:28This is a disaster.
01:00:30The finale is Rose in my father's design.
01:00:32If that dress doesn't walk, he'll skin me alive.
01:00:35Found a replacement with Rose's exact measurements.
01:00:38Now, impossible.
01:00:39Sir, Rose is unique.
01:00:44I can't find those proportions in ten minutes.
01:00:46I'm dead.
01:00:47I actually ruined my dad's birthday.
01:00:50Checkmate.
01:00:52Let's see who saves you now, jailbird.
01:00:54Jared or Alden.
01:00:57Spoiler, neither.
01:01:10Grace, you're filling in.
01:01:14Put on the dress.
01:01:15What?
01:01:16No, I really couldn't.
01:01:19Exactly, boss.
01:01:21Grace is a felon, not a model.
01:01:23She's never walked a runway in her life.
01:01:25And Rose has the body of a goddess.
01:01:29Grace, she'll look like a potato sack in that dress.
01:01:34She's right.
01:01:35The dress was custom-made for a supermodel.
01:01:38It probably wouldn't even zip up.
01:01:41Hey.
01:01:43Look at Alden.
01:01:44If this show bombs, his dad will cut him.
01:01:47He'll lose his inheritance, everything.
01:01:49Is that what you want?
01:01:51Trust me.
01:01:53You got this, okay?
01:01:54I got your back.
01:01:56Okay.
01:01:57I'll do it.
01:02:04Alden, where is my muse?
01:02:06You promised me a showstopper.
01:02:08A tribute to my design dreams.
01:02:11For my birthday.
01:02:13Why am I staring at an empty stage?
01:02:16She's coming.
01:02:17Dad, just...
01:02:18Dramatic effect.
01:02:19What?
01:02:21Dude.
01:02:22Are you sure Grace can pull this off?
01:02:25It's been 20 minutes.
01:02:26She probably ripped the dress and is too scared to come out.
01:02:29I'm dead.
01:02:30The finale's ruined.
01:02:33Dad's gonna write me out of the will before dessert.
01:02:43What the fuck?
01:02:51What the fuck?
01:03:05What the fuck?
01:03:15That's Grace?
01:03:16She's wearing a sample size zero like it was painted on her.
01:03:29How did you know that that dress would fit?
01:03:32Unless you saw her out of that uniform.
01:03:38Hey, you have a fiancé.
01:03:42God, she was a knockout.
01:03:45I still think the old man would object if I chased her now.
01:03:51Excellent work, son.
01:03:52You pulled it off.
01:03:54As long as you're happy, I'm happy.
01:03:57Love you, Dad.
01:04:24So, boss, did I pass?
01:04:27Grace, victim immediately, you are no longer my head of housekeeping.
01:04:35Um, am I fired?
01:04:38Promoted.
01:04:39From now on, you are my new executive secretary.
01:04:42You handled all events.
01:04:48Grace, you didn't just save the show.
01:04:51You saved my life.
01:04:56Consider this a token of my undying gratitude.
01:05:02One million dollars?
01:05:04Alton, no, this is too much.
01:05:06I can't accept this.
01:05:07Take it.
01:05:08It's a small price to pay for his inheritance.
01:05:12Exactly.
01:05:13Pocket change.
01:05:15Besides, you look devastating tonight.
01:05:19Let me buy you a drink to celebrate.
01:05:21A proper date.
01:05:23She's busy.
01:05:26Seriously, Jared?
01:05:28You have a fiancé and a kid at home.
01:05:30Stop blocking my shot.
01:05:33Let the single people find love.
01:05:36Come on, cutie.
01:05:38Tonight, we drink until we drop.
01:05:53That was your master plan?
01:05:55To make her the star of the night?
01:05:57She didn't go back to prison.
01:05:58She got a standing ovation.
01:06:00I didn't know!
01:06:01Who knew she had a model's body under those rags?
01:06:05Wait.
01:06:06How did the boss know that dress would fit her?
01:06:10Unless...
01:06:10Shut your mouth.
01:06:13Dad.
01:06:14Dad!
01:06:15Where the hell have you been?
01:06:17Why is Grace still walking around free?
01:06:19Do you have any idea how close I've been to getting kicked out?
01:06:23Relax, sweetheart.
01:06:24I'm working on it.
01:06:25But listen,
01:06:26Grace costs money,
01:06:27so I'm going to need you to send me about another 20,000.
01:06:31Are you kidding me?
01:06:32I already gave you a million dollars.
01:06:35You gambled it away, didn't you?
01:06:37I have a system.
01:06:39Shut up.
01:06:40Listen to me.
01:06:42You're not getting another dime until Grace is back behind bars.
01:06:46Otherwise,
01:06:47we both lose everything.
01:06:48Get it done.
01:06:53I have a plan.
01:06:55Permanent solution.
01:06:56But I need you to open the door.
01:07:04This is what we want, did you?
01:07:07Drinking is boring.
01:07:08Let's raise the stakes.
01:07:11What stakes?
01:07:13Truth or dare.
01:07:19Truth or dare?
01:07:24Truth.
01:07:25Okay.
01:07:28The big question.
01:07:31Grace.
01:07:33Who do you love?
01:07:36Love?
01:07:41Come to the cold room.
01:07:43I trust you.
01:07:44If you lay a finger without solid evidence,
01:07:47I'm considering that an abuse of power.
01:07:49Call the FBI.
01:07:50Oh my god.
01:07:52He's definitely huge down there.
01:07:55The person I love?
01:07:59Spit it.
01:08:00Who is it?
01:08:05It's...
01:08:07Come on.
01:08:08Spit it out.
01:08:10Who's the lucky guy?
01:08:12Do you want to know who?
01:08:14No.
01:08:15Hmm.
01:08:17And I switch.
01:08:18I choose dare.
01:08:19Okay.
01:08:20Dare.
01:08:21I like dare.
01:08:30That's the ice cube.
01:08:31Mouth to mouth.
01:08:33No defense.
01:08:35What?
01:08:39Go get it.
01:08:46Jared?
01:08:47Party's over.
01:08:48What the hell?
01:08:49I'm taking her home.
01:08:52Oh my God.
01:09:01Ah!
01:09:07Ah!
01:09:10Oh!
01:09:11Oh!
01:09:11Ah!
01:09:12Ah!
01:09:14Ah!
01:09:14Ah!
01:09:16Ah!
01:09:17Ah!
01:09:17Ah!
01:09:18Oh!
01:09:21Ah!
01:09:47What, boss, why, why, why are you here?
01:09:50Scared now?
01:09:51Five minutes ago you were trying to rip my shirt off with your teeth to count the abs.
01:09:57I was drunk.
01:09:59I would never sexually harass my employer.
01:10:03What if I warned you to sexually harass me?
01:10:06Boss, don't joke like that.
01:10:08I'm not joking.
01:10:09You have a fiancé.
01:10:11What if I didn't?
01:10:12Boss, you're a good father and a good man, which means that you are a loyal fiancé.
01:10:23Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't open the door.
01:10:27Don't go.
01:10:29Bust him.
01:10:30Look, it's late.
01:10:31It's not safe out there.
01:10:33Stay here.
01:10:34You take the bad and all, you change and go.
01:10:42Look at me.
01:10:44Scrubbing floors on the night shift because that convict got me busted down with a pay cut.
01:10:48I swear to God, I'm gonna...
01:11:03Check your inbox, Miss Cole.
01:11:05You're not gonna believe this.
01:11:11Grace!
01:11:12You dirty homewrecker!
01:11:14Madam, madam, please, please, I have something to tell you!
01:11:17Shut up!
01:11:19You useless old hag, get out of my sight!
01:11:22Whoa!
01:11:22Hey, hey!
01:11:23Yes, sir.
01:11:24Apologize, now!
01:11:25No, sir, it's okay.
01:11:27Apologize to her, Claire.
01:11:29Apologize?
01:11:30You want me to apologize?
01:11:32Guys, I'm the one who deserves an apology.
01:11:36You're out here banging the cleaner?
01:11:38And do you think you can lecture me about manners?
01:11:42Nothing happened.
01:11:43Don't you dare smear her name!
01:11:46You're protecting her.
01:11:47You're siding with a convict.
01:11:50Jared, I am Alex's mother.
01:11:53Why aren't you protecting me?
01:11:54I gave you a pass after that night.
01:11:56I gave you a second chance for our son.
01:11:58But it turns out you're not a mother.
01:12:00You don't even want to be!
01:12:02That's not true.
01:12:03I'm trying.
01:12:04Oh, you're trying?
01:12:05After you fed Alex sleeping pills, I wrote it off as stupidity.
01:12:09Since then, have you attended one parenting class?
01:12:12A single fucking one?
01:12:14I will, I promise, okay?
01:12:16Just give me another chance.
01:12:18No!
01:12:19I'm done.
01:12:20I don't love you, Claire.
01:12:22I can't love you.
01:12:25I'll give you a settlement.
01:12:27Villas, cash, a storefront.
01:12:30Take it tonight and leave.
01:12:33What about Alex's kidneys?
01:12:34I'm the only one.
01:12:37I'm his lifeline.
01:12:38You think you're the only match in the entire world?
01:12:42I have the resources of Call Group.
01:12:45I will find a donor I don't need.
01:12:50So that's it?
01:12:51You dump me for her, for Grace?
01:12:54She's a convict, Jared.
01:12:56How is she better than me?
01:13:00Where's the convict?
01:13:03So what?
01:13:05People change.
01:13:07You know, she is twice the woman that you will ever be.
01:13:10She would never drug a child.
01:13:14Get out of my house, Claire Smith.
01:13:15Now!
01:13:16No!
01:13:17Sir!
01:13:18Sir!
01:13:19Please listen.
01:13:20The crib is empty.
01:13:21Master Alex is missing.
01:13:23What did you say?
01:13:24Boss!
01:13:25Who took him?
01:13:26Do you have a name?
01:13:27I swear to God, whoever laid a hand on my son, I will bury him!
01:13:31We do.
01:13:32But you're not going to like it.
01:13:37It's her!
01:13:38That psycho bitch stole my baby!
01:13:40I'll kill her!
01:13:41Stop!
01:13:42Stop!
01:13:42This is impossible!
01:13:43I was just with her an hour ago.
01:13:44She couldn't have made it here by now.
01:13:45Look at the screen!
01:13:46That's her face!
01:13:47Why are you still defending her?
01:13:49She stole our son!
01:13:52No!
01:13:53Hey!
01:13:53Amy!
01:13:54Watch her!
01:13:55I'm going to get Grace!
01:14:02Grace!
01:14:03Grace?
01:14:04Are you in the room?
01:14:06Yeah.
01:14:06I'm just in bed.
01:14:07Why?
01:14:08Stay there!
01:14:09I'm coming to get you!
01:14:18Alex!
01:14:20I got Alex!
01:14:23Please please don't hurt him!
01:14:24Shhh!
01:14:25I won't hurt him!
01:14:26Yet!
01:14:27But if you open your mouth to the cops or Jared Cole, I will slit his throat!
01:14:35Okay, okay!
01:14:36I'm coming!
01:14:37I'm coming!
01:14:37I'm coming!
01:14:37I won't tell us all this!
01:14:38Just don't hurt him!
01:14:45Grace!
01:14:46Grace!
01:14:46Open up!
01:14:47It's me!
01:14:48Grace!
01:14:49I didn't mean to tell anyone I'm Chris Alex!
01:14:54Ready?
01:14:57It's me!
01:14:58It's me!
01:14:59Uh, sir?
01:15:01If you're looking for the lady here, she's gone.
01:15:03Left in a hurry.
01:15:04What?
01:15:04What?
01:15:06Boss!
01:15:07We found Master Alex!
01:15:10Alex!
01:15:11I caught him Jared!
01:15:13I brought our baby home!
01:15:14Thank God!
01:15:15Hey!
01:15:15Come here!
01:15:16Come here!
01:15:20Who took him?
01:15:23It was her.
01:15:25She did it.
01:15:28Explain!
01:15:29Now!
01:15:31Sir, you called me!
01:15:33You told me to bring Master Alex to the hospital immediately!
01:15:41No, I never made this call!
01:15:44I was with Grace!
01:15:48If you took Alex and...
01:15:50Why was Grace on the security footage?
01:15:52It was dark.
01:15:54From the side, maybe they look alike.
01:15:56Call the tech team!
01:15:57Frame by frame!
01:15:58I want to make sure it's not a deep fake.
01:16:01Jared, no!
01:16:02Where are you going?
01:16:03We just got our baby back!
01:16:05None of this adds up.
01:16:07The call, the footage...
01:16:08This is a setup.
01:16:10Grace is in trouble.
01:16:11You're paranoid!
01:16:12Just forget about her!
01:16:13Stay with your family!
01:16:14I can't.
01:16:19Where's Alex?
01:16:21Oh, forget that brat, sweetheart!
01:16:23You've got bigger problems.
01:16:25You've got bigger problems.
01:16:28What do you mean?
01:16:29Use your head!
01:16:30Who would be stupid enough to kidnap Jared Cole's kid?
01:16:34That's suicide!
01:16:36There was never a baby.
01:16:37It was Babe.
01:16:39You swallowed the hook.
01:16:41Well, the client wanted you dead.
01:16:43But I figured...
01:16:44Why waste good merchandise?
01:16:46You're gonna stay alive to be my personal...
01:16:50No, no.
01:16:51No, no.
01:16:52Get away from me!
01:17:02Please, they're...
01:17:03They're coming.
01:17:04They're gonna come.
01:17:05Oh, dream on.
01:17:06See, we're off the map.
01:17:09No one is coming...
01:17:10For you.
01:17:11You...
01:17:12You...
01:17:13Belong to me.
01:17:23Mr. Cole?
01:17:25No!
01:17:25Ah!
01:17:28Hey, Alex, are you okay?
01:17:30You okay?
01:17:31Boss, you came quite ahead of me.
01:17:33Respectfully.
01:17:34No, no, no, no.
01:17:46Boss?
01:17:48Keep digging.
01:17:49I want a name by noon.
01:17:52Hey, hey.
01:17:54You're awake.
01:17:56Is your head...
01:17:57Are you dizzy?
01:17:58No.
01:18:00Wait, Alex.
01:18:01Is Alex okay?
01:18:03He's fine.
01:18:06He's safe at home, but...
01:18:07We need to talk about you.
01:18:09You...
01:18:10You walked into a trap alone.
01:18:12You didn't even tell me.
01:18:14Did you have a death wish?
01:18:17It wasn't a death wish.
01:18:18It was insurance.
01:18:20I'm still on parole?
01:18:21I knew it the second that I walked out of the safe zone.
01:18:24Police would be alerted.
01:18:26I just...
01:18:28The text said that Alex was in danger.
01:18:30I couldn't wait.
01:18:33You idiot.
01:18:35You absolute reckless idiot.
01:18:38Don't ever do that again, okay?
01:18:41I can't stand to lose you.
01:18:43Boss, I...
01:18:44When I saw you on that ground, something inside of me broke.
01:18:51I realized that I can't lose you, Grace.
01:19:03Miss Smith.
01:19:04Good.
01:19:05You're awake.
01:19:06We need to discuss something.
01:19:08In treating your injuries, we noticed that you are a perfect HLA match for Alex Cole.
01:19:15More importantly, genetic testing shows direct lineage and 99.9% probability of maternity.
01:19:25Miss Smith, Alex Cole is your biological son.
01:19:28What?
01:19:30No, that's impossible.
01:19:34My baby died at birth.
01:19:37Biology indicates the baby is yours.
01:19:40Do you want me to call the police if there's been a kidnapping?
01:19:45Let me see that file.
01:19:48I'll leave you to process this.
01:19:54Exactly.
01:19:55It's...
01:19:56It's the kidney donor report I released worldwide for Alex's.
01:19:59But...
01:20:00Clara is listed as the mother.
01:20:03No, wait.
01:20:04I...
01:20:04I...
01:20:04I never had her tested.
01:20:06I...
01:20:07I never checked if she was actually the mother.
01:20:09I...
01:20:09I just assumed that she was...
01:20:11Boss.
01:20:13Security footage was doctored.
01:20:15And...
01:20:16We found a paper trail of payments.
01:20:19They all lead back to the same person.
01:20:24Bob Smith.
01:20:27Bob Smith?
01:20:29Do you know him?
01:20:31Know him.
01:20:33He's my stepfather.
01:20:35Him and his daughter framed me and sent me to prison.
01:20:39Daughter?
01:20:41Your step-sister, Clara Smith.
01:20:45Is this her?
01:20:47Is this...
01:20:48Clara Smith?
01:20:50Y...
01:20:50Yes.
01:20:51Why do you have a photo of her?
01:20:54She's my fiance.
01:20:56She's the one that claims to be Alex's mother.
01:20:59What?
01:21:00Two years ago,
01:21:02I was drugged by a rival.
01:21:03I was out of my mind.
01:21:05Clara found me.
01:21:07She told me she gave me her virginity to save my life.
01:21:11And Alex was born.
01:21:14But...
01:21:15That's a lie.
01:21:16Clara lost her virginity in middle school.
01:21:20Two years ago.
01:21:21Bob...
01:21:22Bob dropped to me.
01:21:24He...
01:21:24He said that he was selling my first night.
01:21:27To pay off his gambling debts.
01:21:31Two years ago.
01:21:33The TK Hotel.
01:21:36Who, 8...
01:21:3788?
01:21:39How...
01:21:40How do you know the hotel room?
01:21:44It was you.
01:21:46It was you.
01:21:50Bob...
01:21:51Bob sold you.
01:21:52He put you in my bed and then...
01:21:54He framed you to get you out of the way.
01:21:57Then he replaced you with Clara in order to give...
01:22:01All the life that you were supposed to have.
01:22:05You're the one I've been looking for all these years.
01:22:07Please...
01:22:10Please...
01:22:11I love you.
01:22:17Claire, they...
01:22:17They stole yours from my...
01:22:20They stole my son.
01:22:23They're gonna pay.
01:22:26I'll ruin them.
01:22:28No. I want to do it myself.
01:22:33What do you have in mind?
01:22:35They did all of this for the cool name. For the money.
01:22:40For the status. So let's give it to them.
01:22:44Let's raise them up so high that when they fall they shudder.
01:22:55I'm sorry Alex. I just can't lose the fortune.
01:23:01I just can't.
01:23:08What? You're gonna marry me?
01:23:10You are the mother of my son after all. Let's get married.
01:23:14Oh my dear. Finally. Finally you came to your senses. I'm so happy.
01:23:19I want a big wedding. Let's invite your family and friends.
01:23:22Of course.
01:23:23I love you Jared.
01:23:28Look at this.
01:23:30This is what real power smells like.
01:23:32Pure opulence.
01:23:33Ah my sweet girl.
01:23:35You know every lie. Every bribe.
01:23:38It's all worth it.
01:23:39Once I say I do I'm Mrs. Cole.
01:23:41Half this empire is mine by law.
01:23:43You want cash daddy?
01:23:45You can swim in it.
01:23:47That's my girl.
01:23:50You sure about Grace?
01:23:52Is she really done?
01:23:55I saw the photo of myself.
01:23:57Single shot.
01:23:58Clean.
01:24:00She nothing but worm food.
01:24:01Good.
01:24:04It's a shame really.
01:24:06You know I didn't want her to die.
01:24:09But she stood in my way.
01:24:10She chose this.
01:24:12Hey. You should thank her.
01:24:13If it wasn't for her virginity, you'd have no backstory.
01:24:17If it wasn't for her womb, you'd have no heir.
01:24:19You know what?
01:24:20We should toast her.
01:24:22To Grace.
01:24:24Thanks for the body parts baby.
01:24:26To Grace.
01:24:27Thanks for the life.
01:24:30Are you thanking me early?
01:24:39Are you thanking me early?
01:24:42Grace?
01:24:44You're supposed to be dead.
01:24:46Oh.
01:24:46And miss the main event?
01:24:48If I was dead, who would prove that Alex is my son?
01:24:50And who would send you monsters to prison?
01:24:54Prison?
01:24:56Son?
01:24:57You're delusional.
01:24:58This is my wedding.
01:25:00Get out.
01:25:01Before my husband throws you out in the street.
01:25:03Like the trash you are.
01:25:05Get out?
01:25:07You can't have a wedding without the real bride.
01:25:10No, I said get out!
01:25:11You're ruining my moment.
01:25:13Ladies and gentlemen.
01:25:14The groom.
01:25:17Jared.
01:25:18Look.
01:25:19This cleaner is crashing our wedding.
01:25:21Have her thrown out.
01:25:23Don't worry.
01:25:24Anyone who has ever harmed my bride will be punished severely.
01:25:30Hey, Jared.
01:25:31Jared.
01:25:31Look.
01:25:32I'm entrusting you with my precious daughter.
01:25:34You're gonna take care of her.
01:25:41This is my bride.
01:25:43The only one.
01:25:45Are you insane?
01:25:47She's a criminal.
01:25:48If you marry her, you take the company stock.
01:25:51You destroy the Cole family name.
01:25:53The name is safe.
01:25:55Grace is innocent.
01:25:56The only criminals here are you two.
01:26:00Smile, Claire.
01:26:02You're live.
01:26:03Every word you and Bob just said was a confession.
01:26:10The doctored security tapes.
01:26:12The voice spoof that you used to trick the maid.
01:26:16The wire transfer sent to the hitman to kill Grace.
01:26:20And the frame job from a year ago.
01:26:23All the receipts are there.
01:26:24Security!
01:26:25Take them!
01:26:26I want them buried under the jail.
01:26:29No!
01:26:30You said we were getting married!
01:26:31You liar!
01:26:33Shut up!
01:26:34You and your father are liars.
01:26:36You stole my freedom.
01:26:38You stole my son.
01:26:40And now you want to steal my love in my entire life.
01:26:42You two are parasites.
01:26:45Don't waste your breath on these two.
01:26:47Spend the rest of their lives behind bars thinking about what they've done.
01:26:51No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.
01:26:53Jared, please, I can't go to prison.
01:26:54Grace, Sissy, we're blood.
01:26:57Remember?
01:26:57Remember?
01:26:58Dad, he was the one who did it.
01:27:00He made me.
01:27:01He made me pretend that I'm a victim too.
01:27:03No, I just...
01:27:03You lying little witch!
01:27:05You're the one that begged me to hire the hitman because you were afraid that Jared was going
01:27:09to find out the truth.
01:27:10Look, I'm a victim here, alright?
01:27:12Claire's the one that did all of this!
01:27:14Save your performances for the judge.
01:27:16No!
01:27:17No!
01:27:21Hey.
01:27:22It's finally over.
01:27:25It's okay.
01:27:26The nightmare's gone.
01:27:27Tom?
01:27:33What?
01:27:36Lavender.
01:27:38The scent from that night.
01:27:40The scent that has haunted me for two years.
01:27:43I had this commissioned the next morning.
01:27:47Grace,
01:27:48I have searched for you for so long.
01:27:51Will you marry me?
01:27:56Mel!
01:27:57Alex, watch out!
01:27:59Alex!
01:28:00Alex!
01:28:01He wanted you.
01:28:05Look at him.
01:28:07I think the boss approves.
01:28:09Marry me.
01:28:10Yes.
01:28:11A thousand times yes.
01:28:13I want you.
