00:00:03Just like that, I became his secret girlfriend.
00:00:10From the very first day, the lines were drawn.
00:00:14Wesley Anderson, the undisputed king of campus.
00:00:18Every gross fantasy.
00:00:21And me, Laurie Nielsen, invisible.
00:00:25Or worse, planet.
00:00:28What is that on her face?
00:00:35If it isn't our celebrity, red-faced Laurie.
00:00:39Hmm.
00:00:40Well, what's this big show about?
00:00:42Probably to get Wesley's attention.
00:00:44Wesley would never give you a glance in his entire life.
00:00:49Wake up.
00:00:50Someone like you shouldn't even breathe the same air as him.
00:00:53Oh, shut up, Ashley. You know, your son-
00:00:55Nia, please, let's just go.
00:00:58Toodles.
00:01:03Don't listen to those harpies.
00:01:05Who says you don't have a shot?
00:01:07Three days.
00:01:08Okay, your shot comes in three days.
00:01:14Jen, this is ridiculous.
00:01:16There's like a million girls out there.
00:01:17I can't kiss all of them.
00:01:18Think of the children that need our help, Wesley.
00:01:21It's for charity.
00:01:22Fine.
00:01:23But my lips are awful and this is my final military.
00:01:26Ugh.
00:01:27Fine.
00:01:28Cheek it is.
00:01:30Next!
00:01:42God, it's my turn.
00:01:57Hey, are you okay?
00:01:58Oh my God.
00:01:59Did you try to worship at his feet?
00:02:01Pathetic.
00:02:03Really?
00:02:04Really?
00:02:04Lori?
00:02:05Did you think that falling in front of him was going to be your big chance?
00:02:17What the hell?
00:02:22From that day, I felt that Lady Luck had finally smiled on me.
00:02:30Leslie, I know him, but I guess I-
00:02:34Okay, okay.
00:02:37Cut it out, okay?
00:02:39I can be your boyfriend.
00:02:40You can't tell anybody.
00:02:41Nobody can know.
00:02:42I thought that I was the luckiest girl alive.
00:02:47Until that day.
00:02:52He's gonna love this sports watch.
00:02:55Bro, are you serious?
00:02:56He's back.
00:02:58Does he recognize me?
00:03:01Mr. Anderson, I am so sorry.
00:03:03She was here for an interview.
00:03:05I'll escort them out immediately.
00:03:07What am I expecting?
00:03:09Of course he won't recognize me.
00:03:11I'm so sorry.
00:03:13Mr. Anderson, this will not happen again.
00:03:15Cody, we're going.
00:03:16Right now.
00:03:21She's a single mother.
00:03:23Special case.
00:03:25This won't happen again.
00:03:27Why does she seem familiar?
00:03:31Cody, you can't just run off like that.
00:03:33Especially with your heart condition.
00:03:34What if something had happened to you?
00:03:36Mom, was that Dad?
00:03:39He looks just like this.
00:03:42No.
00:03:43See?
00:03:43That wasn't him.
00:03:44That was just someone who looks like him.
00:03:47If he never wanted me, he would never want you.
00:03:52I will protect you from suffering the same humiliation I've endured.
00:03:56Some truths are better left buried.
00:04:00You've vanished since that day.
00:04:02I've been looking for you for seven years.
00:04:06Lori, where are you?
00:04:25Hello?
00:04:26Sorry.
00:04:27The number you dialed is out of service.
00:04:30Ms. Nielsen, this is City General Hospital.
00:04:32The $20,000 fee for the space of cardiac treatment needs to be settled in full by next week.
00:04:38Okay.
00:04:39Uh, sure.
00:04:41I will have the money.
00:04:45I must be seeing things.
00:04:47She couldn't be worried.
00:04:53Come on.
00:05:00What's up?
00:05:05Still wearing that cheap thing, huh?
00:05:07I mean, people are gonna start thinking that the mighty Andersons have gone bankrupt.
00:05:11What do you want, Lucas?
00:05:12You've been back from Paris for, what, a week?
00:05:14Let's celebrate.
00:05:15Alright, I'm throwing you a welcome home party.
00:05:18No, I'm not interested.
00:05:20Oh, come on.
00:05:21Look, I've invited all of our graduation class,
00:05:23including your ex, um...
00:05:25What was her name?
00:05:27Lori...
00:05:28Nielsen?
00:05:31Elysian Bar.
00:05:32Tomorrow night.
00:05:33HR.
00:05:37Would she show up?
00:05:41Hey, Carol.
00:05:42Any, um, plans this weekend?
00:05:44Try and get a coffee or something?
00:05:46Oh, um...
00:05:48Sorry.
00:05:48I'm married.
00:05:52You mean your fake marriage to Eric?
00:05:54Once his grandma passes, you're signing those divorce papers.
00:05:57Why say no to a date?
00:05:58Because I am not here to date, I'm here to make money.
00:06:01For Cody.
00:06:04Private party tonight.
00:06:06Real high rollers.
00:06:07And they've requested special attire.
00:06:09Put these on.
00:06:11I'm not gonna wear that.
00:06:13I thought you needed money.
00:06:14For your son.
00:06:16Either you put this on, or you walk out that door right now.
00:06:32Hurry up.
00:06:32They're here.
00:06:34They're here.
00:07:03Demolition.
00:07:07I heard Wesley came back to take over the Anderson group.
00:07:10I haven't seen this guy in years.
00:07:13Kinda miss him.
00:07:14He was, uh, kinda a campus health group.
00:07:18I wonder if he's still single.
00:07:21Come on.
00:07:21That's none of your concern.
00:07:23Olivia's the only one who matches him.
00:07:26Exactly.
00:07:26You two were meant to be together.
00:07:32Oh.
00:07:33Welcome back, Wesley.
00:07:35I saved you a seat right next to you.
00:07:38Ah, it took you long enough, eh?
00:07:41Still a king, huh?
00:07:42Something that should.
00:07:44Remember in school, everyone wants to date you?
00:07:47Even that weirdo, Laurie Nielsen.
00:07:49No.
00:07:50Oh, please.
00:07:51She was such a clown.
00:07:53Do you remember that day she bumped straight into you?
00:07:56Oh, my God.
00:07:57Classic memory.
00:07:58So, whatever, uh, I remember having her anyways.
00:08:02No one knows.
00:08:04She kinda just vanished after graduation.
00:08:06But who cares?
00:08:08Probably dead in a ditch somewhere.
00:08:12Say that again.
00:08:22I don't know who this big shot is, but if he isn't to be huge, I'm going to kill him.
00:08:27You really don't know?
00:08:28It's from Wesley Anderson, heir to the Anderson group.
00:08:31He's right over there.
00:08:41Hey, where are you going?
00:08:42I can't, I can't.
00:08:44Hey, we need more drinks here.
00:08:45What are you waiting for?
00:08:47Move.
00:08:52For Cody.
00:08:56You don't know what he's doing.
00:08:57I can't see what it's doing.
00:08:58I can't see what the hell is coming to you.
00:08:59I can't see him.
00:09:03I can't see him.
00:09:03But Magic!
00:09:03I can't see him.
00:09:04How long is he...
00:09:07I'll be ready for him.
00:09:08That's all right.
00:09:08I can't see him, right?
00:09:08I can't see him.
00:09:09I can't see him.
00:09:10Oh!
00:09:13That's all right.
00:09:14I can't see him.
00:09:14I can't see him.
00:09:15This guy is too close.
00:09:16This guy is looking good at him.
00:09:21Alright, pal.
00:09:33Those eyes, how can they be so much like hers?
00:09:43Get your hands off of him!
00:09:46Are you looking to get fired, you idiot?
00:09:52Hey, are you okay?
00:09:55Wesley, please, let me handle this for you.
00:09:59Why does she give me such a similar feeling to Louie?
00:10:02I have to know.
00:10:15Why does he always see me at my worst?
00:10:19Forget it.
00:10:21After tonight, you'll never have to see him again.
00:10:29Could it really be her?
00:10:31After all these years?
00:10:33I'm a dumper after graduation.
00:10:35Paris is way in.
00:10:53The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:10:59The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:11:10I must be losing my mind.
00:11:12She can't possibly be her.
00:11:32The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:11:44Have we met before?
00:11:47Um, yeah.
00:11:49At your office?
00:11:50No, before that.
00:11:54No.
00:11:56How would a nobody like me ever meet someone like you?
00:12:07Look, Mr. Anderson, about your suit.
00:12:09I'm really, really sorry, and I'll pay for it.
00:12:14She's not Lori.
00:12:16What was I expecting?
00:12:18I'm sorry.
00:12:20What?
00:12:21For stopping you and scaring you.
00:12:24You're so much like...
00:12:29Never mind.
00:12:32Why don't you allow me to drive you home?
00:12:36No, thank you.
00:12:38I'll manage.
00:12:42What?
00:12:42What, on that ankle?
00:12:43I don't think so.
00:12:45Plus, you think you're gonna ruin a $5,000 suit and just walk away?
00:12:49Consider your apology and mine.
00:12:53Let me drive you home.
00:12:54Does anyone look like I like tomodel?
00:13:00I hardly see a few other things like...
00:13:00But you're at home like you're a dud.
00:13:03I want to shut the door.
00:13:04I am.
00:13:08I'll get you from the Π‘Π΅ΠΉΡΠ°Ρ.
00:13:09Wesslie is mine!
00:13:11No one can take him from me.
00:13:13No one can take him from me.
00:13:13You're so dead, bitch.
00:13:207 years, no trace. Did something happen to you?
00:13:32Hey Lucas, hey look I know you built up a network over the years. I need you to find out
00:13:37everything that happened to Lord Nielsen after graduation.
00:13:39Yeah, everything. Alright, thanks.
00:13:46The final shortlist for the Executive Assistant position, Mr. Anderson.
00:13:54Even same last name. I want her.
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:07Ms. Nielsen? This is Anderson Corporation HR. Congratulations. You've been selected for the Executive Assistant position to Mr. Anderson himself.
00:14:18Work for him. After everything that happened, I can't.
00:14:26Lord, did you not get my text? I told you not to come. It's pouring out.
00:14:32That's date night. I didn't want to miss it.
00:14:36Can you get a picture?
00:14:38Doctor.
00:14:39Doctor goes.
00:14:46Doctor.
00:14:53Doctor.
00:14:54Doctor.
00:14:55Doctor.
00:14:56Doctor.
00:14:57Doctor.
00:15:27Will the Father be
00:15:28here at your next pre-NATO check-up?
00:15:31No, he has no idea.
00:15:33Miss Nielsen,
00:15:34the Father has a right to know.
00:15:36I think you should tell him.
00:15:50Hello?
00:15:52Wesley's phone.
00:15:54I should have known better than to hope.
00:15:56Then I won't humiliate myself again.
00:16:10Smith.
00:16:11What an honor.
00:16:24Hey there, sweetheart.
00:16:27Nice ass.
00:16:33I want her here tomorrow morning
00:16:35at 8 o'clock sharp.
00:16:36Uh, um,
00:16:38I'm afraid that won't be impossible.
00:16:41Why not?
00:16:42She, uh,
00:16:45she declined the offer.
00:16:50Someone actually said no to you.
00:16:53Oh, this is priceless.
00:16:56Her reason?
00:16:57She didn't give a full reason, sir,
00:17:00but she did say.
00:17:03What?
00:17:05She said she'd be an assistant for anyone,
00:17:08just not for you.
00:17:13Oh, my.
00:17:14I need to meet her.
00:17:26You better back off right now
00:17:27or I will call the cops.
00:17:28Don't be like that, sweetheart.
00:17:30I just want to have some fun.
00:17:35Who's this?
00:17:36Your husband?
00:17:38Actually, that is my husband
00:17:39and he's on his way right now.
00:17:41Kara, are you okay?
00:17:44Let go of me.
00:17:46Kara, where are you?
00:17:51Get off of me.
00:17:52Save the resistance for the bedroom.
00:17:54Fuck off.
00:18:00What's going on here?
00:18:02They're harassing me.
00:18:07Is this how our staff
00:18:09treat our customers?
00:18:11Apologize.
00:18:12What?
00:18:13No, no way.
00:18:14Listen, Miss Smith owns this place.
00:18:17So if she says you're wrong,
00:18:18you apologize.
00:18:20Or
00:18:21you could lose your jaw
00:18:23and that surgery might
00:18:25if you were a little brat.
00:18:30I'm sorry.
00:18:31I don't think that was
00:18:33nearly enough.
00:18:34I did what you asked.
00:18:37Shh.
00:18:53Let me help you get
00:18:54I'm trying, baby.
00:18:59Die, bitch.
00:19:12Get the fuck out.
00:19:20This is unacceptable.
00:19:22We must tighten security.
00:19:23I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:19:24Are you-
00:19:25You can leave, too.
00:19:27Oh, my God.
00:19:30Thank you, Mr. Anderson.
00:19:33What are you doing here?
00:19:34You said your husband
00:19:35was on his way, so...
00:19:39I didn't know that you were the one
00:19:42who was calling.
00:19:43I was just trying to scare them.
00:19:45Where is this husband of yours?
00:19:47Does he always let you handle
00:19:47situations like this alone?
00:19:50He's...
00:19:51working abroad.
00:19:56Oh, my God, your arm.
00:19:58Wait, don't look.
00:20:00You'll get crazy if you see blood.
00:20:07Oh!
00:20:08Oh!
00:20:09Are you okay?
00:20:12Don't look.
00:20:13If the mighty Wesley Anderson
00:20:14faints because of a little blood,
00:20:16then everyone's gonna know your secret.
00:20:23What are you doing?
00:20:24How did you know
00:20:25I got squeamish about blood?
00:20:27Nobody else would cover my eyes like that.
00:20:30Is it you, Lord?
00:20:38I don't know what you're talking about.
00:20:41My son,
00:20:42he gets dizzy when he sees blood,
00:20:44so I guess it's just a force of habit.
00:20:50Why did you refuse the job?
00:20:52I'd be an assistant for anybody except him.
00:20:55Why?
00:20:56Uh, that.
00:20:57Um.
00:20:58Oh.
00:21:03Carol, you need to come home now.
00:21:05Cody collapsed.
00:21:06What?
00:21:07I'll be right there.
00:21:11This is urgent.
00:21:12We've already prioritized him
00:21:13to the highest level.
00:21:14Prep him for surgery.
00:21:15Immediately.
00:21:16We do have a donor heart
00:21:17that matched him,
00:21:18but our lead surgical team
00:21:19is currently in another procedure.
00:21:21We're critically short-staffed.
00:21:23Well, there must be someone else.
00:21:24Please.
00:21:25Get the best cardiac team
00:21:26in here right now.
00:21:27I'll pay for all the expenses.
00:21:28Yes, Mr. Anderson.
00:21:29Right away.
00:21:35Right away.
00:21:37The surgery was a success.
00:21:40Thank you so much.
00:21:45Mr. Anderson,
00:21:46I don't even know how to put into words
00:21:47how grateful I am.
00:21:50My office.
00:21:51Tomorrow morning,
00:21:538 o'clock.
00:21:55Don't be late.
00:22:01All right.
00:22:02You will manage Mr. Anderson's
00:22:04entire schedule.
00:22:07Emails, meetings,
00:22:08even his lunch.
00:22:09Okay?
00:22:11She gets to be that close
00:22:12to Mr. Anderson all day.
00:22:13Just look at that face all day.
00:22:15Lucky.
00:22:17Lucky.
00:22:20Familiarize yourself
00:22:21with our current schedule
00:22:21and this week's agenda.
00:22:23Of course, Mr. Anderson.
00:22:32She's working for him?
00:22:35That social performing bitch.
00:22:40Get her out.
00:22:43I don't care how.
00:22:46Make it look like she messed up.
00:22:52Carol, hi.
00:22:54Mr. Anderson needs his file
00:22:56at home tonight.
00:22:57Just place it on his
00:22:57home office desk.
00:22:59Okay.
00:23:00Of course.
00:23:04Mr. Anderson never lets anyone
00:23:06in his study.
00:23:07Tomorrow,
00:23:08she'll definitely get fired.
00:23:34Oh, my God.
00:23:35I'm...
00:23:36I'm so sorry.
00:23:37I was just dropping this off.
00:23:38I had no idea
00:23:39that you were even home.
00:23:41I...
00:23:42Wesley?
00:23:43Are you ready for our date?
00:23:46God, not her again.
00:23:48Oh!
00:23:51What are you doing?
00:23:52Shh!
00:23:53Wesley, are you here?
00:24:04What the hell?
00:24:06What are you doing?
00:24:08It is that you see it.
00:24:10See yourself out.
00:24:14Okay, she's gone,
00:24:20so your little performance
00:24:21could be over.
00:24:23Get off of me, baby.
00:24:25Mr. Anderson,
00:24:26I'm your assistant.
00:24:28Next time you want to
00:24:28scare off a date,
00:24:29hire someone else.
00:24:30I'm not your prop, okay?
00:24:31Carol, look,
00:24:32it's not like that.
00:24:33Let's just...
00:24:53What do you think you're doing?
00:24:57What do you think you're doing?
00:25:00I was just putting the files on...
00:25:02Who said you can be in here?
00:25:04Ashley told me to...
00:25:05Enough!
00:25:10I am sorry.
00:25:11Mr. Anderson,
00:25:12it will not happen again.
00:25:18Did you just take a photo of me?
00:25:22Sorry.
00:25:24I know that we're a secret.
00:25:26I wasn't going to show anyone.
00:25:30You don't have to stay up moments,
00:25:31Laurie.
00:25:40Carol,
00:25:41look back.
00:25:59Hey, I tracked down some information about Laurie.
00:26:01She was in a terrible car accident,
00:26:03and I heard she was severely injured
00:26:05trying to save her child.
00:26:06A car accident?
00:26:08Wait.
00:26:09Wait, wait, wait.
00:26:10She has a child?
00:26:12Where are they?
00:26:15Where are they?
00:26:16I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:26:17She dropped off the grid after that.
00:26:19She just vanished.
00:26:21No,
00:26:21I need you to keep looking.
00:26:23Find her whatever it takes.
00:26:30Carol,
00:26:31my office, please.
00:26:37What?
00:26:38She didn't get fired?
00:26:46Carol,
00:26:47listen.
00:26:47About last night...
00:26:49Wesley!
00:26:51Who the hell was that woman
00:26:52at your house last night?
00:26:53Uh, Mom,
00:26:54right now is not the best time.
00:26:55Are you seeing someone?
00:26:56Who is she?
00:26:57Who was that woman?
00:26:59Who is she?
00:27:01She's right behind you.
00:27:07Uh,
00:27:10no,
00:27:10it's not like that.
00:27:12I'm his assistant.
00:27:13I'm Mary.
00:27:14I was dropping off a file.
00:27:16That's all.
00:27:17You heard her.
00:27:19She's my assistant.
00:27:21You can go now, assistant.
00:27:27Wes,
00:27:28don't tell me you're still hung up
00:27:30on the ex-girlfriend
00:27:31from college.
00:27:31Are you?
00:27:34The ex-girlfriend?
00:27:36Could that mean
00:27:37me?
00:27:38Carol?
00:27:40Um,
00:27:41a moment, please.
00:27:47Actually, Mom,
00:27:48yes, I am.
00:27:49There's no other woman
00:27:50besides Lori.
00:27:51Ugh,
00:27:51you're insane.
00:27:52She's been gone,
00:27:53vanished for years.
00:27:54Look, I don't care.
00:27:55I will find her
00:27:56no matter what it takes.
00:27:57You, Mom,
00:27:58look at me.
00:27:59I'm gonna be late
00:28:00for a doctor's appointment.
00:28:01We need to go.
00:28:03I'm not finished.
00:28:04I'm late.
00:28:04Mom,
00:28:05please.
00:28:06We'll continue this.
00:28:16With his attitude,
00:28:17I may never get a grandchild.
00:28:19God knows
00:28:19how much I really want one.
00:28:22How much?
00:28:25Excuse me, ma'am.
00:28:26You dropped this.
00:28:27Oh, my goodness.
00:28:28This child
00:28:29looked just like
00:28:30Wesley did at his age.
00:28:34This child
00:28:34looked just like
00:28:35Wesley did at his age.
00:28:36He had one girlfriend
00:28:38at university,
00:28:39didn't he?
00:28:39I mean,
00:28:40could this boy
00:28:41be their child?
00:28:42Mom, please.
00:28:43There's no way.
00:28:44Wesley would never
00:28:45help with her.
00:28:47There you are.
00:28:48Come on,
00:28:49let's go back to the ward.
00:28:53No,
00:28:54these figures
00:28:54are unacceptable.
00:29:06Okay,
00:29:06who eats fries
00:29:07with yogurt?
00:29:08That's disgusting.
00:29:09It's delicious.
00:29:10My secret recipe.
00:29:11Try it.
00:29:13Why did you use yogurt?
00:29:19Yeah,
00:29:20sorry,
00:29:20they were out of ketchup.
00:29:22So I used yogurt,
00:29:23but if you don't like it,
00:29:24I can make you
00:29:25a new plate
00:29:25immediately.
00:29:29So I used yogurt,
00:29:31but if you don't like it,
00:29:32I can make you
00:29:32a new plate
00:29:32immediately.
00:29:34No,
00:29:34it's fine.

00:29:39could I leave work
00:29:40early today?

00:29:42discharged from the hospital.
00:29:44Sure.
00:29:45I'll drive you.
00:29:46I'll drive you.
00:29:48I'll drive you.
00:29:54Mom,
00:29:55I forgot my
00:29:55teddy bear in the room.
00:29:57That's okay.
00:29:58I'll go back and get it.
00:29:59Okay.
00:30:00Stay right here.
00:30:01Okay.
00:30:03Wesley,
00:30:04I wish you were my dad.
00:30:05Why do you say that?
00:30:06I like you,
00:30:07and you look very much
00:30:08like him.
00:30:09My dad.
00:30:10Want to see a photo?
00:30:11I can show you.
00:30:12Oh,
00:30:12um,
00:30:14sure.
00:30:15Okay.
00:30:29Don't tell my mom.
00:30:30She said I wanted to talk
00:30:32about my dad with anyone.
00:30:33Okay.
00:30:35Yay!
00:30:38Everything okay?
00:30:40What were we talking about?
00:30:42I was just inviting
00:30:43Uncle Wesley to dinner tonight.
00:30:46Honey,
00:30:47Mr. Anderson is a very busy man,
00:30:49and I'm sure he has pets tonight.
00:30:52Not tonight.
00:30:54Yay!
00:30:59I found the picture.
00:31:01Mom hides it.
00:31:05Mom moved it again.
00:31:07It's okay.
00:31:08We can try again another time.
00:31:11Shh.
00:31:24Oh!
00:31:27Graduation mug.
00:31:28God,
00:31:29it's so cheesy.
00:31:30Please?
00:31:32All right,
00:31:32fine.
00:31:33Fine.
00:31:34You can get whatever you want.
00:31:38Okay.
00:31:39Dinner's ready.
00:31:40Cody,
00:31:40go wash your hands.
00:31:48Who are you,
00:31:49really?
00:31:51Why are you always
00:31:52asking me this question?
00:31:54I'm Carol.
00:31:55Hmm.
00:31:57Why do you have this mug?
00:31:59Because I graduated
00:32:00from that school.
00:32:02It's a souvenir.
00:32:04You went to business school.
00:32:05I don't recall anyone
00:32:06in the class
00:32:07named Carol.
00:32:12No, I went to
00:32:16school languages.
00:32:19It's a really big campus.
00:32:20You probably wouldn't have
00:32:21put in to me.
00:32:23It's all in my resume.
00:32:24You can check,
00:32:25Mr. Anderson.
00:32:31Hey.
00:32:33All right.
00:32:34All right.

00:32:46very generous.

00:33:22I've heard she's
00:33:23Mr. Anderson's
00:33:24secret daughter.
00:33:26What?
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:27Rumor is
00:33:28he's never gotten
00:33:29over some ex-girlfriend
00:33:30from college.
00:33:31That's her kid.
00:33:32He spoils her rotten.
00:33:34Totally daddy's girl.
00:33:37So,
00:33:38the woman
00:33:38on the phone,
00:33:39that was
00:33:40her.
00:33:42The one
00:33:42you never forgot.
00:33:44It was never
00:33:45me.
00:33:47They
00:33:48even have a child
00:33:49together.
00:33:53Hey, Carol,
00:33:54let me drive you home.
00:33:56Uh,
00:33:57no,
00:33:57thank you.
00:33:58Mr. Anderson,
00:33:59I'll manage.
00:34:00Carol,
00:34:00wait.
00:34:06What's wrong?
00:34:07Nothing.
00:34:08It's just
00:34:08my husband.
00:34:14Hey, Carol.
00:34:15Got some great news.
00:34:17I'll be back next week.
00:34:18Oh, that's great.
00:34:20Okay.
00:34:21Yeah,
00:34:21I will.
00:34:22Bye.
00:34:29Is there anything else,
00:34:31Mr. Anderson?
00:34:33No.
00:34:34You can go.
00:34:38What is wrong with me?
00:34:40That felt like
00:34:41jealousy.
00:34:43No way.
00:34:44Lori,
00:34:45where are you?
00:34:47Uh,
00:34:47Wes.
00:34:48I, um,
00:34:50I found her.
00:34:51Oh, yeah?
00:34:53You're gonna have to
00:34:54prepare yourself.
00:34:55It's, um,
00:34:57it's not good.
00:34:58Just say it,
00:34:59Lucas.
00:35:00I'm sorry, man.
00:35:01She's gone.
00:35:02She didn't survive the accident.
00:35:20Wes, man,
00:35:21you have to,
00:35:23you have to move on.
00:35:25Just go, Lucas.
00:35:26You need to be alone.
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:33Wes is still obsessed
00:35:35with finding this girl,
00:35:36Lori,
00:35:37after all this time.
00:35:38That's crazy, right?
00:35:39Mm-hmm.
00:35:42All right,
00:35:42well,
00:35:43I gotta hit the head.
00:35:43Don't forget all the good stuff,
00:35:45I'm gonna go.
00:35:45Sure.
00:35:52Girls,
00:35:53we can't.
00:35:54Let him keep going on like this.
00:35:55That bitch needs to be
00:35:56wiped out completely.
00:35:58How about
00:35:58we let him find her dead?
00:36:01We give him
00:36:02a death certificate.
00:36:04Do it.
00:36:05Make it convincing.
00:36:29Mr. Anderson,
00:36:30it's been weeks.
00:36:31We really can't postpone
00:36:32this board meeting any longer.
00:36:39Oh, God.
00:36:41I've been
00:36:44searched for her for seven years.
00:36:46How can she just be gone?
00:36:50Who?
00:36:51The mother of his secret daughter?
00:36:54God,
00:36:55he really loved her that much.
00:36:58I am
00:36:58I'm so sorry.
00:37:01I mean she wouldn't want to see you like this.
00:37:17You have to shape up, okay?
00:37:19You have a company to run, you have people who depend on you.
00:37:22Lori once did the same thing.
00:37:25Why is she so much like her?
00:37:28Unless...
00:37:29Maybe Lucas was wrong.
00:37:32I'm sorry, here, I'm going to draw you off.
00:37:47Just tell me...
00:37:49Who are you?
00:37:52Mr. Anderson, everyone is waiting for you at the office for this meeting.
00:37:56Am I still lying to myself?
00:37:58I'm such an asshole.
00:38:05My apologies.
00:38:06You're right.
00:38:08I'll get ready.
00:38:13Okay.
00:38:16Carol.
00:38:17Carol, wait.
00:38:19What do you say we grab dinner tonight?
00:38:21As a way of saying thank you for that wake-up call today?
00:38:24Okay.
00:38:28Please don't think everyone's staring.
00:38:31Hey girl.
00:38:36Seems like you have prior plans, Mr. Anderson.
00:38:39So I will just see myself.
00:38:41Wait, wait, wait.
00:38:43What about tomorrow then?
00:38:46Is this your new girlfriend?
00:38:59Oh, um...
00:39:00No.
00:39:00No, sweetie.
00:39:01I'm just your father's assistant.
00:39:03You, no.
00:39:05He's not my dad.
00:39:06He's my uncle.
00:39:08This is Sarah.
00:39:09My sister Jennifer's daughter.
00:39:12So...
00:39:12Shall we go?
00:39:13We can pick up Cody along the way.
00:39:16Dinner's on me.
00:39:18Yay.
00:39:29That fucking bitch.
00:39:32He actually took her out to dinner.
00:39:35Shh.
00:39:36Shh.
00:39:55Wesley, are you falling for Carol?
00:40:03Sarah, you don't have to ask that.
00:40:12Got you, bitch.
00:40:13Got you, bitch.
00:40:14Did you really think that you belonged at his table?
00:40:17I mean, you're just a piece of trash.
00:40:23Open the door. Let me out.
00:40:24Easy there.
00:40:25The phone's just getting started.
00:40:36Easy there.
00:40:42Now, how does that feel?
00:40:44This is what you get for trying to save Wesley.
00:40:46Ladies, strip her.
00:40:50Let's go!
00:40:52Let's go!
00:40:54No!
00:40:56No!
00:41:06Why is Mom taking so long?
00:41:15Mom?
00:41:16Let me go!
00:41:17Mom? Mom, are you in there?
00:41:21Shut your mouth, you little prat!
00:41:29Sarah, where did Connor go?
00:41:31He went by his mom.
00:41:34You stay right here, okay?
00:41:37Move, my mom's in there!
00:41:39You misheard, now get lost!
00:41:45You annoying little rat!
00:41:55What's going on?
00:41:57Wesley, I...
00:41:58It was an accident.
00:42:00This little boy was trying to go into the women's restroom.
00:42:03That's all.
00:42:04Cody, what's going on? Are you okay? What's wrong?
00:42:06Mom is crying in the bathroom, she doesn't tell...
00:42:09Shh!
00:42:10Wesley, wait! No!
00:42:14Mr. Anderson, it's gone!
00:42:16Shut up!
00:42:21I won't let you get away with this.
00:42:22You'll both pay.
00:42:47Oh, sorry, I was checking your temperature.
00:42:52Uh...
00:42:53I should go.
00:42:56Wesley, um...
00:43:00For everything.
00:43:14Yeah, I have feelings for her, bro.
00:43:16For Carol.
00:43:17Yes!
00:43:19Uh...
00:43:20Finally.
00:43:21We're moving on.
00:43:22Yeah, but are they real feelings, or is it just because she feels familiar?
00:43:26Who cares?
00:43:28Dude, if she makes you feel happy, that's all that matters.
00:43:30Go for it.
00:43:31Maybe she's married to me.
00:43:32She's what?
00:43:33I think she has a kid.
00:43:36Uh...
00:43:36Married, huh?
00:43:38Um...
00:43:39Have you... have you met her husband yet?
00:43:42No, actually.
00:43:44But I've been to her house, and...
00:43:46I just don't really feel like she lives there.
00:43:49I don't know.
00:43:50The whole thing is kind of weird.
00:43:52That is suspicious.
00:43:54But...
00:43:54But who would lie about having a husband?
00:43:56If that's the case...
00:43:57She's definitely hiding something.
00:44:00Actually...
00:44:02I've got a plan.
00:44:16Need a hand?
00:44:18Uh...
00:44:19No!
00:44:19No, you're a guest.
00:44:20Just...
00:44:20Relax.
00:44:21I got this.
00:44:22I don't see a spare light bubble around.
00:44:24You sure you don't need one?
00:44:26Uh...
00:44:28Actually...
00:44:28Yeah.
00:44:30I think they're in the cabinet drawer in the study.
00:44:33Okay.
00:44:34You got it.
00:44:35Thanks.
00:44:43Is that her husband?
00:44:46Uh...
00:44:48Why are you so nervous?
00:44:50What's in there?
00:44:52Uh...
00:44:53Nothing.
00:44:54You do everything yourself?
00:44:55Did your husband ever plan on coming home?
00:44:59He's really...
00:45:00busy...
00:45:01working abroad.
00:45:02Do you even have a husband, Carol?
00:45:05Cause I don't see...
00:45:06any photos of the two of you anywhere.
00:45:10I'm careful.
00:45:18I should get that.
00:45:29I'm home early.
00:45:31Surprise!
00:45:40And this is...
00:45:44Um...
00:45:45This is...
00:45:46Mr. Anderson.
00:45:48My...
00:45:48boss.
00:45:49Eric!
00:45:50Carol's husband.
00:45:51Pleasure to meet you.
00:45:53Would you like to stay for lunch?
00:45:55No.
00:45:56I was just leaving.
00:46:02The transfer came through.
00:46:03I'm based in LA now.
00:46:05Oh, that's...
00:46:05That's great.
00:46:07I'm looking for an apartment, so...
00:46:09I'll move out soon.
00:46:10No rush.
00:46:12Actually, you two can stay as long as you need.
00:46:13Shh.
00:46:23Hey, Carol.
00:46:27Hello?
00:46:29What?
00:46:31I'll be right there.
00:46:42Why'd you start that fight, Cody?
00:46:44They said I didn't have a dad.
00:46:45That, I was lying.
00:46:47Your dad's just working far away.
00:46:49But he's back now, right?
00:46:52Hey, come on.
00:46:53You told me he looked like me.
00:46:54You better look even than he is.
00:46:56No, he's not.
00:46:58What?
00:46:59Eric isn't my real dad.
00:47:02I want to tell you a secret. My mom and Eric are not...
00:47:06Cody!
00:47:09What did I tell you about fighting? It's never okay.
00:47:12He was provoked. That other kid said some cruel things to him.
00:47:17Honey, you know we can't solve problems with our fists.
00:47:27Why don't you guys just talk it out?
00:47:28I think this kid needs to apologize to Cody first before we discuss anything else.
00:47:34My son was just stating a fact. Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:47:42My son was just stating a fact. Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:47:47I am his father. You apologize now.
00:47:53Or what?
00:47:54Or you'll deal with the full force of being Anderson Ligleton.
00:47:59Oh, God. He is Wesley Anderson.
00:48:03I see for misunderstanding.
00:48:06Apologize to the boy, dear. Honey, apologize.
00:48:17Hey, Cody. You did a really good job at apologizing to that little boy today.
00:48:23But as a reward, I'll take you to get your favorite toy tomorrow.
00:48:26Yes!
00:48:28Alright, I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
00:48:32Mom, can Wesley be my dad?
00:48:39What? Uh, um...
00:48:41Oh, you're back.
00:48:44Hey, I made reservations at that Italian place for tomorrow night.
00:48:48Would you want to go?
00:48:50We can't. We have plans with Uncle Wesley tomorrow.
00:48:55Of course. Another time then.
00:49:06Okay, sweetie. Uncle Wesley's on his way. She'll pick out anything you want. Just pick one thing.
00:49:15Hello?
00:49:16What?
00:49:18Yeah, hi. I was hoping to schedule a consultation to discuss divorce proceedings.
00:49:26Heard that little brat was claustrophobic.
00:49:30Get ready for hell, you little brat.
00:49:33Yeah, thank you so much. Bye.
00:49:37Cody!
00:49:38Cody?
00:49:41Cody?
00:49:44Hey, what's going on?
00:49:45I can't, I can't find Cody.
00:49:47What?
00:49:49Hey, are you looking for your son?
00:49:50Yeah.
00:49:51Apparently there's a kid passed out in the storage room.
00:50:07He's okay.
00:50:09He just fainted from a panic attack.
00:50:12He has claustrophobia.
00:50:14So, you need to avoid getting him into situations that have that trigger.
00:50:20I have that too.
00:50:22Another coincidence?
00:50:27Hi.
00:50:29Oh, baby, you're awake.
00:50:32Are you hungry?
00:50:33Can I have a hot dog?
00:50:38I'll go get you one buddy, okay?
00:50:40Hey.
00:50:43Carol, I got your favorite tacos.
00:50:52Thanks.
00:50:53I want a hot dog.
00:50:58Mr. Anderson, my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:51:05Well, I gotta go.
00:51:08Wesley, I-
00:51:09I'll see you, Mo.
00:51:22I appreciate you, looking after Carol and Cody, but as her husband, I'll handle things from here.
00:51:30Funny.
00:51:31Didn't need to handle it for quite a while now and you're nowhere to be found.
00:51:35From what I hear, you're not even Cody's real father.
00:51:43So what if I'm not Cody's biological father?
00:51:45I'm still Carol's husband.
00:51:48And you better stay away from my wife.
00:51:51I don't care whose wife she is.
00:51:53Either you make her happy, or I will.
00:51:56I will.
00:52:03Carol.
00:52:04This past few months, I-
00:52:06I know it started as an arrangement, but my feelings...
00:52:18Great. You're home. Carol, there's something I need to tell you. I...
00:52:23Eric, I need to tell you something first. Thank you for helping us when we had nowhere to go.
00:52:31I feel like we have been bothering you for a while now.
00:52:40And perhaps it's time we get it, of course.
00:52:52Is... something wrong? Is now a bad time?
00:52:57No. It's fine. Sure.
00:53:12Oh, Eric. I'm so sorry.
00:53:20Don't be. I just want you to be happy. Whenever you're ready, just let me know. I'll sign the papers.
00:53:32Thank you. We'll move out in a few days.
00:54:04Thanksgiving is coming up.
00:54:05Sarah would love it if you and Cody joined us.
00:54:09No pressure. Just...
00:54:11Um, that sounds great.
00:54:14We'll be there.
00:54:41She got divorced.
00:54:53Where are you? I need to see you now.
00:54:57Now? I can come to the office.
00:54:59Look, that's fine. I'll meet you there.
00:55:08Hey, sorry, traffic.
00:55:09Why are you divorced?
00:55:12With all due respect, Mr. Anderson, that is my personal business.
00:55:16Why, Carol? Tell me the truth.
00:55:20Uh, fine. You want the truth?
00:55:25Eric was my neighbor, and he offered us a place to stay,
00:55:29so I agreed to a paper marriage so he could fulfill his grandmother's dying wish.
00:55:35Satisfied?
00:55:37Okay, well, I do have work to do, so...
00:55:42Carol.
00:55:46Look, I can't keep fighting you anymore.
00:55:49Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:55:53Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:56:02I'm so sorry.
00:56:05Look, I know that your heart belongs to someone else.
00:56:10To your past.
00:56:14And I can't share my man as a ghost.
00:56:24You can't force these things, man.
00:56:28Alright, get up.
00:56:30My buddy is throwing a huge party.
00:56:32Let's get wasted, and you'll feel better in the morning.
00:56:35Alright, come on.
00:56:37Let's go.
00:56:38Come on.
00:56:44Oh, Wes!
00:56:45Oh, man.
00:56:47This is George.
00:56:49Alumni of our university.
00:56:50That's me, too.
00:56:51He went to the School of Languages.
00:56:53Oh, you went to the School of Languages?
00:56:55Yeah, man.
00:56:55No, I graduated...
00:56:57God.
00:56:582018?
00:56:58Oof.
00:57:00Good times.
00:57:03Why isn't Carol in the photo?
00:57:06Do you know a Carol Nielsen, by chance?
00:57:09She might have been in your class.
00:57:10Nielsen.
00:57:12Nah, man.
00:57:13Definitely not.
00:57:27Why did you lie to me?
00:57:29What are you talking about?
00:57:30School of Languages.
00:57:31That was a lie.
00:57:32I don't know why you're saying that.
00:57:33Then explain this.
00:57:39Who are you, Carol?
00:57:40Really?
00:57:42Okay, I'm...
00:57:43Wes, I'm really sorry.
00:57:44I did lie to you.
00:57:46I just...
00:57:46Why?
00:57:47What are you hiding?
00:57:48Tell me.
00:57:49I can't.
00:57:50And if you must know, then I quit.
00:57:52You can consider this my resignation.
00:57:55No.
00:57:56Don't quit.
00:57:57Just don't ask anymore.
00:58:00Whatever your secrets are.
00:58:01Whatever your past desires.
00:58:04Whatever you're ready, just tell me.
00:58:06I'll wait.
00:58:07No matter how long it takes.
00:58:07No matter how long it takes.
00:58:14See you later.
00:58:17See you later.
00:58:25See you later.
00:58:30See you later.
00:58:35Cody, you're here.
00:58:43What are you doing here?
00:58:46I was invited.
00:58:47Oh, right. The help.
00:58:51Perfect. I was actually thirsty, so how about you go get me a drink?
00:58:55Actually, that's not my duty today.
00:58:57I am here as a guest.
00:58:59How dare you talk to me like that?
00:59:03Security?
00:59:05Remove her.
00:59:10I'd like to see the truck.
00:59:15The only one caught on a scene who is at risk of being removed is you, Olivia.
00:59:25Why don't you guys go make some thanksgiving cards, okay?
00:59:39That's the same boy from the hospital.
00:59:41Wes has an almost identical mole on his palm, too.
00:59:44Oh, such beautiful cards.
00:59:48Oh, honey, you actually have a leaf in your hair.
00:59:53Get a paternity test done.
01:00:01I have your results.
01:00:03Ah!
01:00:04Oh!
01:00:06It's negative!
01:00:08He's not the father!
01:00:10Seems we were overthinking it.
01:00:12We really need to focus on finding a suitable match for Wesley.
01:00:16So, perhaps, Olivia is still our best bet.
01:00:26That little brat really kills his son.
01:00:30Wow!
01:00:30Make it stay negative.
01:00:32Okay.
01:00:38I want to know everything about Carol Nielsen.
01:00:42Dig deeper.
01:00:50She's in Wesley's bed.
01:01:00The End
01:01:01The End
01:01:11Wes.
01:01:12Perhaps you should consider getting to know Olivia a bit better.
01:01:16You know this union is the best for both our families.
01:01:20Mom, we've been over this.
01:01:21I'm not marrying her.
01:01:22Why won't you even give it a try?
01:01:25Look, because I'm in love with Carol.
01:01:27Okay?
01:01:28That's my final answer.
01:01:30That wretched bitch.
01:01:37Lori?
01:01:39Lori Nielsen?
01:01:42Quite unexpected.
01:01:44I don't know what you're talking about.
01:01:46You know, I thought it was odd.
01:01:50You vanished all those years ago after that accident.
01:01:54Turns out you were just having your face fixed,
01:01:56got that ugly birthmark removed,
01:01:58and had your name changed.
01:02:04What do you want?
01:02:05Simple.
01:02:07Take your son and leave the city.
01:02:11Go to hell.
01:02:13Going somewhere?
01:02:15Maybe to pick up your son?
01:02:19I wouldn't bother.
01:02:21I already did.
01:02:36What are you doing?
01:02:37Let him go.
01:02:39If you hurt him,
01:02:41I will destroy you.
01:02:43Lori, Lori, Lori.
01:02:45All I want is for you to stop saying Wesley.
01:02:50Just imagine how disgusted he'll be
01:02:52when he finds out that
01:02:53the ugly freak he secretly pities
01:02:55had his bastard child.
01:03:00Don't you cry.
01:03:01Fuck.
01:03:03Then beg on your knees.
01:03:14Please.
01:03:14He's just a child.
01:03:16Leave my mom alone!
01:03:18Oh.
01:03:18Oh.
01:03:20Oh.
01:03:21Oh.
01:03:22Oh.
01:03:23Oh.
01:03:23Oh.
01:03:25Oh.
01:03:25Oh.
01:03:31Oh my god.
01:03:32Cody!
01:03:34Let's go to Iran prison
01:03:36for the rest of your life.
01:03:49The boys are H-negative.
01:03:50Our supplies are depleted.
01:03:53We need blood now.
01:03:54I'll do it.
01:03:55Take mine.
01:03:56No, you can't.
01:03:57You're his fault.
01:04:06That's impossible.
01:04:07The results from the paternity test
01:04:09came back negative.
01:04:10Hey, wait.
01:04:11What's going on here?
01:04:12I want the truth.
01:04:13Tell me everything.
01:04:16She made me do it.
01:04:18She paid me to change the results.
01:04:22I'll settle a score with you
01:04:23once and for all.
01:04:26The blood supply is here.
01:04:31Lori, it's really you?
01:04:32Why?
01:04:34Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:35Why did you just leave?
01:04:37It was that day in the locker room.
01:04:39I heard you.
01:04:40You said it was just a bet
01:04:41that you were going to dump me
01:04:42after graduation.
01:04:45I called you
01:04:46and a woman's voice answered
01:04:47so I wasn't going to stay
01:04:50humiliate myself any further.
01:04:52That was my sister.
01:04:54Lori,
01:04:55I'm an idiot.
01:04:57I was trying to save face
01:04:58with my friends.
01:04:59Little did I know
01:05:00I was making the biggest mistake
01:05:01of my entire life.
01:05:06He's stable.
01:05:08He's going to be okay.
01:05:13Lori, can you please forgive me?
01:05:16Give me a chance
01:05:17to make it right.
01:05:18Take care.
01:05:19Bye.
01:05:19Bye.
01:05:22Bye.
01:05:25Bye.
01:05:28Bye.
01:05:31Bye.
01:05:31Bye.
01:05:33Amen.
