00:12Our baby, God, how am I gonna tell him?
00:21You did.
00:24I...
00:47Wait, Charlie, there's something that I need to tell you.
00:50Later.
00:51I'll be there.
00:52I'll be there.
00:53I'll be there.
01:13I'll be there.
01:25Charlie, look.
01:28Termination of contract.
01:29Tonight is the last time.
01:31I'm engaged.
01:33Engaged?
01:34The house is yours.
01:36Black card has no limit, so buy whatever you want.
01:39Was any of it real to you?
01:41It was always transactional.
01:44Don't pretend now.
02:04I hope you'll be happy, Mr. Walton.
02:20A contract?
02:21That's all I ever was to him.
02:23Not a lover.
02:24Just a line item.
02:30Don't worry, little one.
02:32Mama will keep you safe.
02:34Okay?
02:35Always.
02:48Rose!
02:50Coffee!
02:51Black!
03:04Sir, let's read the party this morning.
03:06She declined the card and the villa.
03:09She left this for you.
03:17She's...
03:19She's pregnant?
03:38How dare you, Rosemary!
03:41Sir, she booked an international flight.
03:43It departs at 5 p.m.
03:44Oh, my God.
03:48I'm sorry.
03:49Attention, please!
03:50The flight to Paris is departed at 5 p.m.
03:59Rose, you really...
04:02You're really gone.
04:1518 years, same damn skyline.
04:20This is Rosemary Reed.
04:22Yeah, well, is the evidence package ready?
04:24I'm five minutes out.
04:34Seriously, Mom?
04:36Fresh off a 10-hour flight and you're already in work mode.
04:39Have you ever heard of jet lag?
04:41Yeah, well, this punk's expensive.
04:43Okay, somebody has to pay for him.
04:46Hey, I have to go.
04:47Pay for him.
04:54Give it up.
04:5518 years?
04:56She aborted your child and then ran off to Europe flaunting boy toys.
04:59And you stayed single all that time for that.
05:01That's enough, Janice.
05:04Not marrying her doesn't make you my wife.
05:41Termination of contract.
05:42Tonight is the last time I'm engaged.
05:55Rosemary Reed.
05:56You?
05:58What, you forgot your old sugar daddy already?
06:00It's been 18 years.
06:02What the hell are we doing back here?
06:04Why the hell would that be any of your business?
06:11Tell me, that baby, did you really?
06:21Get off her!
06:24Who the hell are you?
06:29Well, I see you've been well taken care of for after all these years.
06:31Very.
06:32No thanks to past mistakes.
06:35Who's this fossil?
06:36Some flame that fizzled out?
06:38Nobody important, baby.
06:50Mom, wait.
06:52Jimmy, what are you doing here?
06:54You left us in the car.
06:56It's good that I came.
06:58That creep looked ready to pounce.
07:10Hey.
07:12I'm Rosemary Reed, your attorney.
07:14You're safe here.
07:15Let's take our time.
07:16Um, he, um, he assaulted me.
07:24I want to sue.
07:29Charlie Walton?
07:33I never touched her.
07:36I was drugged.
07:37The cameras were conveniently down.
07:38She's fabricating evidence.
07:40Bed photos, audio, payment.
07:46You've put together quite the package.
07:52Little Rose, stay.
07:57Little Rose, stay.
08:16So, that only one I thought I was, was just a rich man's trick.
08:22Rich guy toys with her feelings?
08:24That's perfect deadline bait.
08:26Well done.
08:28Who's her lawyer?
08:33Lily, I promise you, I will fight to win this case.
08:37Some hotshot litigator from overseas.
08:40Never loses a sexual assault case.
08:43Her name's, um, Rosemary Reed.
08:51Rosemary Reed, a shark who devours men in court.
08:55Just flew in yesterday.
08:57She's staying at one of your hotels.
09:07Go ahead.
09:09Go ahead.
09:14Go ahead.
09:16Go ahead.
09:18Go ahead.
09:19Go ahead.
09:20God, you little demon.
09:34Fuck!
09:42No, what the?
09:45Charlie!
09:49You planned this, didn't you?
09:50You came here just to get close to take my case.
09:54This is your revenge.
09:55You psycho, you followed me?
09:57Let go!
09:59That assault case?
10:00You need to drop it.
10:02You've got no idea what you're walking into.
10:04Drop it?
10:05What are you worried I'll expose every mistress,
10:08every woman you've prayed on?
10:10You really believe that crap?
10:12After everything we've been through?
10:14Stop!
10:15Don't say we.
10:16That girl isn't a fool and neither am I.
10:19Not anymore.
10:20So in your eyes,
10:22everything we had was just...
10:24filth?
10:26Well, what is it then?
10:28Playing your on-call whore?
10:30Begging for scraps?
10:33Dignity?
10:34Please.
10:35So that's it then?
10:37How much are they paying you?
10:39Enough of your little boy toy over there?
10:42Is that who you're fucking now?
10:46You bastard!
10:47He's your...
10:5018 damn years, Charlie,
10:52and you're still the same son of a bitch.
10:54I am taking that case.
10:56And I will bury you in court.
10:59See you there.
11:05Rose.
11:08Rose.
11:09Get off of me.
11:11Hold still.
11:27Get the fuck off her!
11:38Please, David, stop!
11:41I don't care what mess you had way long ago, she doesn't want you anymore!
11:45Stay the hell away from her!
11:47Yeah?
11:47Who the hell are you?
11:49Her sugar baby?
11:50Her fuck buddy?
11:57Yeah.
11:58Yeah, I'm a sugar baby.
12:00She paid for my tuition, so it's none of your business, old man.
12:10Does it hurt?
12:12You said...
12:12Put her down!
12:13That's hardly enough!
12:14What we had ended 18 years ago.
12:17What I have with him, you will never come in between.
12:21No one in this world is closer.
12:32Charlie, right now, there's no one closer than us, is there?
12:38Close.
12:53After 18 years...
12:54Don't tell me you've taken the lover who's young enough to be our son.
13:00You bastard!
13:01He's your...
13:23Charlie, they rejected the settlement.
13:25Report date's set next Monday, 9am.
13:27Report date's set next Monday, 9am.
13:30Charlie, they rejected the settlement.
13:32Rose.
13:48Rose.
13:50You can still walk away from this.
13:52Get out of my way, Mr. Defendant.
13:54Harass opposing counsel pre-trial and I'll have security drag you out.
13:57You're really gonna do this?
13:59To me?
13:59It's not about you.
14:01Winning for my client is my job.
14:10Don't!
14:11That's evidence.
14:14Where did you get that necklace?
14:17Forget already?
14:18High-end custom jewelry for your one-night fling.
14:21You were always so generous.
14:23But I never did.
14:24Save it for court.
14:54You may be seated.
14:56Case number 4732.
14:58Lily Austin versus Charlie Walton alleging sexual assault.
15:04Plaintiff counsel, your opening.
15:07The victim cannot testify today due to severe psychological trauma.
15:11I will present her case.
15:13We submit three key pieces of evidence.
15:16First, hotel hallway surveillance from the night in question.
15:25Second, photographs from inside the room.
15:31Finally, audio recordings from that night.
15:34Little Rose.
15:37Stay.
15:41When I pass the bar, maybe I'll defend you in court someday.
15:45What if I'm guilty?
15:48Then I'd sit across the courtroom and stare you down.
15:53Hmm.
15:55I confess.
15:57Beg for my life.
16:13Drunk or not, he ignored her clear lack of consent and assaulted her.
16:22He does retain the right to defend himself.
16:25Mr. Walton, do you have anything to say?
16:33Counselor Reed, what you think you might know might not be the truth.
16:40Your Honor, the defense would like to submit critical new evidence.
16:48We present two exhibits.
16:50The defendant's toxicology report and the complete security footage from that night.
17:01The tox screen shows that Mr. Walton had a high level of a sedative in his system not.
17:13Reveals.
17:14Reveals.
17:27The plaintiff's footage is clearly edited.
17:30And the police are already investigating.
17:33But what about the necklace?
17:35She swore that you gave it to her.
17:38As payment.
17:39That necklace?
17:42Did you ever think to check the back?
17:51This...
17:52This can't be...
17:54I had that made 18 years ago.
17:56For a woman who I thought I would never lose.
18:00July 12th.
18:021987.
18:03Is her birthday.
18:08You really thought I would be cheap enough to give her gift to someone else?
18:28That one.
18:35I had July 12th, 1987 on the back.
18:39It's my girlfriend's birthday.
18:41Lucky girl.
18:42What's her name?
18:44Rose.
18:45Her name is Rose.
18:49Attention please.
18:50The flight to Paris has departed at 5pm.
19:03That necklace was meant for somebody I loved.
19:05Lily stole it that night.
19:07I can live with a ruined name.
19:09I can even live with false allegations.
19:11But what I can live with is the woman I loved.
19:14Believing I could do this.
19:25Having considered the facts and the evidence presented.
19:30The inconsistencies in the plaintiff's case.
19:33The tempered footage.
19:35The exculpatory toxicology report.
19:39The court has reached a verdict.
19:42I find the defendant.
19:44Mr. Charlie Walton.
19:56Charlie.
20:12Wait.
20:13I need to talk to you.
20:20Wait!
20:39Get in.
20:57Don't mess up my car.
21:07Back there.
21:09I'm sorry.
21:10No need.
21:10That necklace.
21:13Why my birthday?
21:34I was young.
21:36Stupid.
21:39I thought by keeping my little pet bird happy it would fix everything.
21:43Pathetic, isn't it?
21:44But in court?
21:47You said it was for someone you loved.
21:59You're home.
22:00You still didn't answer me.
22:02Were you serious back there?
22:06That was a performance for the judge.
22:10Worked on you too, huh?
22:11Huh.
22:14What's wrong?
22:16Feeling nostalgic about missing your spot as my old whore?
22:19You vile bastard.
22:33What's wrong?
22:34Tough in court but tongue-tied now?
22:36I hit an urn, didn't I?
22:37Enough, okay?
22:38You won!
22:39Stop humiliating me!
22:43Whoa!
22:44Get out of my house!
22:54He lives here?
22:56That is none of your business.
22:58So that's why?
23:00That's why 18 years ago you had our baby killed?
23:03So you could play house with your fucking boy toy?
23:07Get out!
23:09Now!
23:10You want me to get out?
23:21Stop!
23:22Okay, you're insane!
23:23Let me go!
23:24Does that punk kid make you feel good?
23:26Does he make you beg for mercy like you used to?
23:31No!
23:31Charlie, stop!
23:32Stop!
23:35Get off her!
23:39Wait, no, Damien, stop!
23:43That's it!
23:43I'm calling the cops!
23:45Go ahead!
23:46I can use another win!
23:48You didn't say anything, stop!
23:49It's okay!
23:50I'm okay!
23:51Okay!
23:51He assaulted you!
23:56Get out!
23:57This is our house!
23:58You don't belong here!
23:59Our home?
24:01Are you really gonna let this punk kid mooch off you for the rest of his life?
24:18And it seems like he still doesn't know the kids as his son.
24:21And it seems like he still doesn't know the kids as his son.
24:41I want you to notify Daven Law and tell them to terminate all ties with Rosemary Reed.
24:46Mm-hmm!
24:48No!
24:50I want you to blacklist her!
24:54Industry-wide!
24:55I want her to leave the city!
25:20I want her to leave the city!
25:24It happens.
25:25Okay?
25:25It's a competitive field.
25:27Don't worry about it.
25:27Mom, stop!
25:28I know how hard you worked to get that partnership.
25:31Was it him?
25:32Charlie!
25:33He wouldn't do that.
25:35You still trust him after everything he just did?
25:39Where are you going?
25:41Relax, Mom.
25:42You won't let me hit him anyway.
25:44He already thinks we have a thing going on.
25:46Right.
25:47All I gotta do is play the part.
25:50Messing with him now, that's overkill.
25:53Then you...
25:54Just taking a drive.
26:08Daven Law?
26:09Mind giving me your office address?
26:15Sir, appointments only.
26:17Why did you fire Rosemary Reed?
26:20So, I see.
26:22Reed sent you.
26:24Well, she pissed off Charlie Walton.
26:26And now no firm in this country is ever going to hire her.
26:29We call it risk management.
26:34You're vultures!
26:36Slandering!
26:37Blacklisting!
26:38You're not lawyers.
26:39You're cowards!
26:41What the hell is this circus?!
26:46Oh, well, well.
26:49If it isn't Rosemary's bastard.
26:52Did she send you here to throw a little tantrum?
26:55Who the hell are you?
26:57And watch your mouth.
26:58I'm the client who told them to dump her.
27:00When I speak, they jump.
27:03You did this?
27:04Why?
27:04Why?
27:06Because your mother is the whore of the legal circuit.
27:09She sleeps her way to clients, then complains and cries when it doesn't go her way.
27:14It's honestly really pathetic.
27:16Say that again.
27:18Fine.
27:18Your mother is the whore of the legal circuit.
27:22Anyone can have her.
27:23Honestly, she's filthy.
27:25I will kill you!
27:26Help!
27:27Help!
27:29Help!
27:30How dare you!
27:31What are you doing there?
27:32Grab him!
27:39Enough!
27:49Charlie!
27:50Thank God you're here!
27:52Reed's little boy toy came in here and just assaulted me!
27:55Shouldn't you be at home letting her pay your bills?
27:57Rose!
27:57You really want to say that?
27:59Because of your case!
28:00My ma-
28:02Rose!
28:03Got fired!
28:04I came for answers!
28:05Oh quit playing the hero!
28:08He's just a gold digger!
28:10Probably was sent here by that whore!
28:11You vicious!
28:13Cut!
28:18Don't move!
28:20I don't get it.
28:21What does she even see in you?
28:23Youth.
28:25Obedience.
28:26Absolutely no identity.
28:29Just the perfect little bed warmer.
28:31I bet he loves servicing her.
28:33I'll kill you!
28:38Here's the thing.
28:40You can either apologize to me or you're gonna rot in a cell for the rest of your life for
28:46assault.
28:47Go to hell!
28:53You dirty little filthy mutt!
28:55Get away from him!
29:08Are you insane letting them brutalize a kid?
29:11He threw the first punch.
29:14Whoa whoa!
29:1618 years!
29:17Hello again, bitch!
29:22She's twisting it Charlie!
29:24I mean her little boy toy came in here and just assaulted me!
29:27He's a criminal!
29:32So protected.
29:34Even if he started it?
29:35Even if he attacked us?
29:37Damien would never cause a problem for no-
29:39Enough!
29:40Is he your lover or your son?
29:42I've got him on destruction of property, assault and vandalism.
29:46He's going to jail.
29:48Damien?
29:50What did you do?
29:51Yeah, I hit him but they screwed us first!
29:53And after everything you've given this job, I-
29:55I'll take responsibility, okay?
29:58Punish me!
29:59Not him!
29:59No, you don't have to beg for me.
30:01I-I own what I did.
30:02Why?
30:03Every damn time you choose him.
30:08Take him downtown.
30:10Assault, vandalism, trespassing.
30:12He's going to jail.
30:17No.
30:19No.
30:20Touching.
30:21Mother and the son.
30:23Even after all this time, you still make me sick.
30:26But this time, you're not taking Charlie away from me.
30:32No!
30:47Oh, come on! She's making it!
30:49Genesis, that's enough!
30:54Put it down, you bastard!
30:56Take him to holding. I'll deal with him later.
30:58No! No! If you hurt her, I'll kill you!
31:20Is she that desperate? Some college kid?
31:25Living with him?
31:32Sir, these days relationships are all about being close.
31:35So if you win a shot, you gotta be there.
31:39What, are you giving me lessons now?
31:40No, I wouldn't dare.
31:42It's just that our legal department is short of corporate counsel.
31:46Someone senior,
31:48who understands corporate law,
31:50understands high-stakes negotiations,
31:53who knows us,
31:56seems like a perfect fit.
32:12I don't know.
32:13Damien.
32:15The wrath of me?
32:15Where is he?
32:16First word's out of your mouth.
32:17He really is a priority, isn't he?
32:20What have he done?
32:21You can't hurt him!
32:22Is he really worth this much?
32:25Where is he?
32:27He...
32:29Holding cell.
32:31Police are underway.
32:32Destruction of property. Vandalism. Assault.
32:37That's a misdemeanor at best.
32:39But you know that, don't you?
32:40Counselor Reed.
32:41Let him go.
32:42Okay, whatever you want, take it out on me.
32:44So easy to sacrifice.
32:47Fine.
32:50Sign it and he walks.
32:53Are you blackmailing me?
32:56Call it opportunity.
32:59You are radioactive in this country.
33:02I'm offering you a lifeline.
33:03Opportunity. Your future.
33:05His future.
33:07Pretty good deal, don't you think?
33:11What do you want?
33:13A puppet?
33:15A mistress?
33:17Was humiliating me 18 years ago not enough?
33:20I don't want to humiliate you.
33:22But if the police get to him,
33:24that record follows you.
33:26University career.
33:27He's gone.
33:30You keep choosing him.
33:33Begging for him.
33:34Are you willing to give yourself to me?
33:36For him?
33:37No, no.
33:37No, no.
33:40You're not lying in her room.
