00:11It's okay, my baby. I won't let anyone hurt you.
00:35I'd like to see you try and lay a hand on my daughter.
00:41Mom, Dad, how do I look?
00:45Stunning. You could wear the simplest thing and still outshine everyone.
00:52Emily, you look incredible. Did you like the birthday gift I got you?
00:57Of course, Aunt Sharon. I love everything you give me.
01:01Such a sweet little angel. Beautiful, polite. Not like this one. Dumb as a brick.
01:11Do you need a personal invitation? Say hello to Emily.
01:20God, she's embarrassing.
01:22Jesus, Sharon. That's your daughter. You treat her like she's your enemy's child.
01:26Oh, please. She's lucky I haven't cut her off already.
01:31Enough. Their birthday party is coming up and you expect her to show up at the party like this?
01:36Emily, sweetheart, take Aunt upstairs. Clean her up. Take care of her.
01:45So, I hear you're handing the company over to Emily. Is that true?
01:50Yes, that's the plan. Why?
01:54Just curious. Emily is my blood. The second that ink dries, I'm taking her back.
02:01You really think the girl you've been abusing for 18 years is mine?
02:07I can't wait to watch your world collapse when you finally learn the truth.
02:20I don't want to ruin your carpet.
02:23It's just a carpet, not some museum piece. If it gets dirty, we clean it.
02:30Your room is incredible. And that dress, it's beautiful. Just like you.
02:38If you wore something elegant, you'd outshine everyone.
02:44Your mom gave me this one. But I want you to have it.
02:47No, really, I can't. It belongs to you. And if my mom catches me wearing your clothes, she'll lose it.
02:54Anna, relax. I've got your back. And your birthday's almost here, too. Think of it as an early gift.
03:02Thank you, Emily.
03:09Oh my god! You look amazing!
03:12She looks beautiful. Just missing the right shoes. These are for you. My birthday present. Put them on.
03:21Oh, Aunt Melanie. Thank you so much. No one's ever been this kind to me. Just you and Emily.
03:36Well, well. Now you're stealing Emily's clothes, too?
03:40Aunt Sharon, stop it. I gave it to her.
03:43You gave it away? Didn't want it anymore? Oh, that's okay. Come on, Emily. I'll take you shopping.
03:5010 new dresses. That's not the point. I have more dresses than I can count. And Anna doesn't even have
03:57one decent outfit. She hasn't worn anything new in years. Dressing trash up in designer clothes?
04:04That's just insulting the fabric. Don't talk about her like that. It's cruel.
04:10Cruel? Please. With skin that thick. She barely notices. Take it off. The dress, the shoes, all of it.
04:19Those shoes were my gift to Anna. Do you really want her walking into her 18th birthday party with
04:25nothing fit to wear? Why not? Girls like her don't get fairy tales.
04:33Sharon! That's your child. How can you even say something like that?
04:37Oh, please. She's not made of glass. What are you staring at? I told you to take it off.
04:44Still standing there? Fine. I'll do it myself.
04:52Oh my god, Anna. You're bleeding. Don't touch her, Emily. She's disgusting.
04:57Look at her. She's shaking in fear. Come on, sweetheart. Let's go buy you something else.
05:11Anna. Your mother hasn't been the same since your father died. I'm so sorry, my love.
05:18Mrs. Saster. I wish... I wish you were my mom.
05:31Mom, I'm sorry. Please, please, please don't lock me in again.
05:36Mom, should we do something? That sounded really bad. Why is she always so cruel to Anna?
05:43It isn't our place, sweetheart. Honey, Sharon's gone too far. Shouldn't we step in?
05:51She warned us not to interfere before. Don't worry. She's still her daughter. She wouldn't actually kill her.
06:03She's still her daughter.
06:04Aunt Sharon. There's my girl.
06:08Jesus, Sharon. What the hell happened to Anna's leg?
06:13She ruined Emily's dress. So she was disciplined.
06:17Lacks don't make a spectacle. Kids heal. She'll live.
06:22Sharon, today is Anna's birthday too. Whatever your excuse, don't touch her again.
06:27Easy. If she acts up, we'll just lock her in the basement.
06:30Exactly. Today belongs to Emily.
06:34She's your daughter, Sharon. Not Emily's servant.
06:37Melanie, I'm just your secretary, remember? So naturally, Anna doesn't belong on Emily's level.
06:44Emily, this is for me. Your gift.
06:49Emily, what happened to your hand? Why is it bandaged? How did you let her get hurt?
06:55It's a scratch, Sharon. She'll be fine in a day or two. Kids heal. You've said that yourself.
07:00How can you say that so casually? That hand is worth millions. Don't you understand what's at stake?
07:07Enough. You did this. Emily was bleeding because she was cleaning up after you.
07:14Why wasn't a maid doing it? What kind of parent lets their child pick up broken glass?
07:20Emily's responsible. She looks after her own space, and it's a small cut. Anna's hand is wrapped in gauze.
07:26That's different. Anna's built to take it. Don't ever compare them. She's inheriting millions.
07:34Anna's made for scrubbing floors. If her hands get ruined, who cares?
07:38So let me be clear. Your daughter is bleeding, and you don't even flinch. But my child gets a scratch,
07:46and you lose your mind? Sometimes you make it seem like Emily is your daughter.
07:53Oh, Melanie. We've been best friends forever. I've always treated your daughter like my own,
08:00and honestly, let's knock to a door. Yeah, let's be real. Anna could never hold a candle to Emily.
08:06Emily, sweetheart. You have exactly one responsibility in life. Enjoy it.
08:14All that dull, dirty work. Carrying things, cleaning. That's Anna's role. That's what she's here for.
08:22You've turned your own daughter into a servant. Let's see how long that smug smile lasts once the truth comes
08:28out.
08:28Oh, Melanie. Did you bring the paperwork for the shares?
08:32I did. And there you go again. Ruining my daughter's surprise.
08:37Wait, seriously? Mom, I'm only 18. You're already giving me company shares?
08:41Of course she is, Emily. Darling, you're intelligent. You're stunning. You were born to lead.
08:49I'm so proud of you. Well, she is my pride and joy. No one compares. And I mean, no one
08:58compares to my daughter.
09:00Keep gloating, Melanie. Once Emily gets those shares, I'll drop the real surprise.
09:11Hello. Yes, the results are in. I'll have my brother come collect them.
09:17Aunt Sharon, what results?
09:19Just something special I've been preparing.
09:23A surprise you will never forget. Another one?
09:26Trust me, sweetheart. Soon enough, everything will make sense.
09:31How intriguing. Then I suppose I'll be looking forward to it as well.
09:36Enjoy the moment, Melanie. Your public collapse has been my fantasy for years.
09:42All right. Everyone's here. Let's head inside.
09:49Who's that next to Emily?
09:52Why is she dressed like that?
09:56Is she Emily's maid?
09:59Truth is, I've been grinding your precious princess into the dirt for 18 years.
10:06Feels good watching you finally choke on it.
10:13Thank you all for being here to celebrate my daughter, Emily, on her 18th birthday.
10:19And tonight, we're also acknowledging another milestone. My best friend's daughter is turning 18 as well.
10:25Wait, she's not the help? Who sends their kid out dressed like that?
10:29Most of you know Emily's story. Accepted into Harvard Business School at 15, graduated at 17,
10:36already making her mark inside the Astor Group.
10:42So today, I'm making it official. Today, I transfer all of my shares of the Astor Group to Emily.
10:51Happy birthday, sweetheart. You are now the majority shareholder of the Astor Group.
10:56This is my gift to you.
11:02Hey, look at me. You're my daughter, and I don't back losing bets.
11:08Remember that ski trip when you were eight? Standing at the top, legs shaking, terrified to move.
11:13Now look at you, advanced level, certified, tearing through competitions like fear never existed.
11:19That's my girl, brains and beauty. Clearly she takes after me.
11:25Mom, I won't let you down. I'll give this everything I have.
11:31Well said, Emily.
11:33Why are you so thrilled? She's not even your daughter.
11:36When Joshua comes back with the results, you'll understand exactly why I'm so thrilled.
11:42Sharon, today is Anna's birthday too. Aren't you going to give her your gift?
11:46Of course I am. I've prepared something very special for her.
11:56Auntie, don't call me that anymore. My baby. I'm your mother.
12:13Oh my god, Sharon. What the hell do you think you're doing?
12:17A few days ago, I took Anna to the hospital to have her checked. The doctor recognized me.
12:24Turns out years ago, he was jealous of your money, your life.
12:30He did something unforgivable. He switched our babies. After years of choking on guilt, he finally told me the truth.
12:40Sharon, jokes have limits. This isn't some trashy reality show.
12:47I'm not joking. Every word I said is true.
12:51Nice story. We raised Emily. There is no universe where she's yours.
12:57You can't just walk in here and claim Emily based on some stranger's confession.
13:01And even if you care about Emily, did you ever stop to think what this does to Anna?
13:05Her? I fed her. I clothed her. I paid for 18 years of schooling. That's already more than she ever
13:12earned.
13:13Now I'm done with her. I want my daughter back.
13:17Look at her, Sharon Shaw. You stomped the life out of that girl. And now you want applause for being
13:24a good mother?
13:25So you're absolutely certain you're standing here in front of everyone claiming Emily is yours?
13:32I knew there would be questions. That's why I did a DNA test. Joshua will be back with the results
13:40any second now.
13:42You actually went through with a DNA test?
13:45Of course I did. Science doesn't lie. But honestly, I didn't need it.
13:53No. No, no. This can't be right. What the hell is this?
13:58I've always known Emily was mine. From the moment she could walk, talk. She gravitated toward me. Blood always knows
14:09blood.
14:10Oh my god. No. No, this isn't happening.
14:14I know it's hard to swallow, Melanie. But the truth doesn't care about your feelings.
14:22So, do you like my surprise, sweetheart?
14:26Do you like my surprise, sweetheart?
14:29Mom.
14:30No, that's not your mother. She borrowed the title. I own it. I'm your real mother.
14:36Jesus Christ, Sharon. The results aren't even here yet. You don't get to just snatch a child like this.
14:43They'll be here any second. I lost 18 years with my daughter. I am not losing another breath.
14:52Tell me, Sharon. Look me in the eye. Are you really that sure Emily is yours?
14:57Sure. I'm the one who switched them. I don't need some lab report to tell me what I already know.
15:04You keep acting like Emily doesn't belong to me. Why? Because Anna wasn't good enough for you?
15:12Hear that? Even your real parents don't want you. You were born disposable.
15:19Enough. I never look down on Anna. Never. This circus helps no one. The DNA results aren't even here yet.
15:26And all you're doing is tearing two children apart.
15:28I understand. Letting go hurts. You look at Anna and don't see the daughter you imagined. But Emily? She's mine.
15:39I'm just taking back what is mine.
15:41Don't listen to her, Melody. We raised Emily. Every straight knee. Every sleepless night. That doesn't vanish because of a
15:50lie and a piece of paper.
15:52We all saw it. Your heart. Your time. Everything. Everything Emily is. That's because of you. You don't just hand
16:02her over to someone like that.
16:05Joshua! You're back. Where is it? Give me the report.
16:09Sharon Shaw. What if it doesn't say what you think it does?
16:13Emily is mine. If you don't believe me, let science shut you up. Joshua? Show them the report.
16:25Emily? You are my real daughter. You have always been mine.
16:33This can't be right. What the hell is this?
16:42Emily's not Sharon's daughter? Then the switch never happened. Our whole plan. Gone.
16:49Look at it. Read it again. You can deny it all you want. Emily is mine.
16:55So do the right thing. Give me back my daughter.
17:00Are you out of your damn mind? That's not how this works. That's not how families work.
17:05Why not? I know you've grown attached, but biology doesn't care about feelings.
17:11I lost 18 years. Years. I can never get back. And all I want is to make it right.
17:20Mrs. Astor, my brother-in-law died working for you. You swore you'd protect my sister and her child.
17:27Now she's standing here asking for her daughter back. What's so unforgivable about that?
17:34Melanie, you're a mother. You know how deep a mother's love cuts. How it refuses to let go.
17:44Exactly. That's why I will never hand my daughter over to someone like you. Because this test is a lie.
17:52It's fake.
17:56Fake? What are you even saying right now?
17:58That's exactly what I'm saying. You really thought you could rip her out of our lives with a forged piece
18:03of paper?
18:04Yes. Yes. That report has to be fake. Sharon, you didn't honestly think you could fool us with a cheap
18:10lie.
18:11Did you? How the hell did that bitch figure it out? Doesn't matter. Fake or not, it has to be
18:16real now.
18:17That's ridiculous. How dare you accuse us of fabricating a DNA report?
18:21This is insane. What proof do you have that it's fake?
18:24Don't you dare accuse my brother of fraud. He wouldn't risk prison over something like this.
18:30Exactly. Everyone suddenly wants Emily now. But Anna? Anna is the child my sister raised for 18 years.
18:37You think we'd just throw her away unless we were certain she wasn't ours?
18:42Raised her? That's what you call raising a child? I've seen you strike her.
18:46Your discipline is a nightmare. And that's not even mentioning the nights you locked her away,
18:51starved her, and treated her like she wasn't even human.
18:54I was strict because I cared. Discipline is love. Everything I did was for her own good.
19:00That's enough. If that test is real, a second one will prove it. Yours was done in private,
19:06behind closed doors. So let's do another one. Right here. Right now. In front of everyone.
19:11What do you say, Sharon Shaw? Are you brave enough?
19:15Fine. Run it once. Run it a hundred times. It won't change a thing. Emily is still mine.
19:22Perfect. Then let's go to the hospital. Right now.
19:26No! I object. I don't agree with this.
19:30What's wrong, Joshua? Because right now, you look guilty as hell.
19:34No. I'm thinking about the girls. Another test. It might be too much for them. You know, emotionally.
19:40That's surprisingly considerate. I didn't realize you still had a beating heart in there.
19:46Look, Melanie. If you want to drag Anna through this circus again, fine. But think about Emily.
19:52She's been put through enough already. Look, even if the truth is complicated,
19:57the girls don't have to go anywhere. They can stay with you. Same house, same life. Nothing has to
20:04change. And we're just supposed to pretend none of this ever happened? How exactly do you imagine that
20:09working, Joshua? Oh, I understand now. You're embarrassed. Terrified that Anna might actually
20:17be your daughter. Why wouldn't we be? I don't care whose blood Emily carries. She's the one we raised.
20:24The one we invested our lives in. She's brilliant, driven, going somewhere. And Anna, look at her.
20:31Look at what you turned her into. Maybe I wasn't perfect. Maybe I made mistakes.
20:39But all I want is to hear my real daughter call me. Mom, is that really too much to ask?
20:48Oh, spare us the performance. If this was really about reuniting with your daughter,
20:52you'd have done it quietly, privately. So why today? Why on Emily's birthday? You stormed in
20:58waving that DNA test like a trophy. Looks to me like she just wants a piece of Emily's success.
21:05That's why Anna was so easy to throw away. Honestly, who celebrates a baby switch like
21:09they've won the lottery? That's twisted. So tell me, Sharon, is being Emily's mother
21:14your endgame? Is that all this has ever been about?
21:18What? Have you completely lost your mind? Maybe. Maybe they're not wrong. If the babies
21:24really were switched at birth, maybe they should be returned to where they belong.
21:28You've got to be kidding me. You're seriously going to hand our daughter to a manipulative psychopath
21:34because of one shady DNA report? Of course not. I-
21:38Melanie, oh, I knew you'd see reason. Don't worry. I'll raise Emily properly.
21:43No. I am her father. I won't discard my child because of a lab printout. Mr. Astor,
21:51your wife has already agreed. And DNA doesn't lie. So whether you like it or not, this is happening.
21:58And Mrs. Astor, you've already transferred your shares to Emily. You're not planning to undo that now,
22:04are you? No, the paperwork is complete. Emily is now the largest shareholder of Astor Group.
22:08She's my successor. That's wonderful. I knew it. This was never about the children. This was
22:16always about the company. And what exactly are you going to do about it? Emily runs Astor Group now.
22:22And lucky for us, she's family. Mr. Astor, sorry, Andrew. Got a problem with that? Don't get too
22:29comfortable. My name is still on Emily's birth certificate. As long as I don't consent, no one
22:36is taking her anywhere. Andrew, why are you being so dramatic? The DNA report clearly proves Emily is
22:42my daughter. We can sue. Right now, we're merely extending you a courtesy. Don't go too far. Andrew,
22:51look at your wife. So calm. She built Astor Group from the ground up. And now, it all belongs to
22:58me.
22:59Amy. So why are you upset? Right, Mrs. Astor? That's not quite right, Joshua. She's no longer
23:06the mighty Mrs. Astor. What did you just say? Sharon. Oops. Did I say that out loud? My mistake,
23:14darling. Astor Group, your life's work. Your legacy, it's mine now.
23:21So tell me, Sharon, is being Emily's mother your endgame? Is that all this has ever been about?
23:27I honestly don't know what you're implying. Melanie, I don't trust her for a second.
23:32None of this smells right. Hey, watch your mouth. This has nothing to do with you.
23:38Oh, now you're trying to silence us too? Real convincing. Melanie, I know I failed Anna.
23:45I know I didn't give her the life she deserved, but none of that changes the truth. She is your
23:52biological daughter. If you could accept her, maybe, or just maybe, her life could finally improve.
23:59Oh, spare me. Is that what this is supposed to be about now? Saving Anna? Or is this just a
24:04convenient way to steal our daughter and sneak your hands into Melanie's company?
24:08Careful. That's a serious accusation. Borderline felony talk. Nobody planned this. Nobody wanted
24:16a baby switch. Melanie, we were best friends. My husband died driving for you. Anna and I worked
24:24for you for 18 years without complaint. How could you even think I'd betray you like this? After my
24:30brother-in-law died, I stepped up. I drove for your family day in, day out for years. Doesn't that
24:38earn any trust at all? I swear to you, Melanie, even if she's my biological daughter, I'll never
24:44let her forget what you've done for her. She'll never forget? Please. The first thing I do is push
24:51you right out of that company. Melanie, you're finished. So all of this, this spectacle,
24:59is really just about switching the girls back? This isn't easy for me either. What choice do we have?
25:06I lost my husband. I lost 18 years with Emily. I can't lose another second.
25:13You're my best friend, Melanie. All I'm asking for is the rest of my life with my real daughter.
25:20Please, don't take that from me. All right. Then let's switch them back. What? Have you completely lost your mind?
25:31Aster Group? Your life's work? Your legacy? It's mine now.
25:36You're tossing these girls' lives around like poker chips. Tell me, are they your daughters or just your next investment?
25:43Don't get sentimental. We're simply reclaiming what was always ours.
25:47Melanie, you raised my daughter for 18 years. It's only fair I return the favor. Look at her. Look at
25:54how well I trained her.
25:55So obedient. She knows exactly where she belongs. Come here. Come here. What are you waiting for? Say it. Call
26:07her mom.
26:08Say it. Call her mom. Stop it. Even if Anna isn't your biological daughter, you've been her mother for 18
26:15years. Don't you feel any guilt humiliating her like this?
26:19Melanie Aster, that broken little thing is yours now. A shattered puppet. And you'll spend the rest of your life
26:27wishing you never had her.
26:30Melanie, if you care that much, why don't you just take her?
26:33You people are monsters, Melanie. Are you really gonna stand there and let them rip apart our family and our
26:40company?
26:40You're smarter than this. Don't let them play you. Whatever happens, do not hand Emily over to them.
26:45Everyone, enough. Calm down. Sharon and Joshua aren't lying.
26:49Emily and Anna were switched at birth. I know. Because I saw it happen.
26:54What? You saw it with your own eyes?
26:59You saw it? Or were you delirious with pain? Hallucinating like a mad woman.
27:04I was delirious, but I wasn't blind. I watched you and Joshua switch my baby with your own hands, knowingly
27:12swapping newborns as a felony.
27:13So tell me, Sharon Shaw. If I turn you both in right now, what do you think happens to this
27:19little scheme of yours?
27:20You're bluffing. Why would I ever switch my daughter with yours? That's insane.
27:25No, what's insane is your hatred for me. You hated that I became CEO while you stayed my secretary, watching
27:32me win. So you struck where it hurt most. You tortured the child you thought was mine. Every bruise, every
27:39humiliation, every time you made her beg. And you made sure I saw it. Tell me I'm wrong.
27:44You... You saw all that? How do you even know what you saw was real?
27:50Melanie, are you out of your damn mind? You knew for years, and you just stood there while that bitch
27:56tortured our daughter for 18 years?
27:59I thought what she was a devote mother. Turns out she's a full-blown sociopath.
28:04You saw us switch the babies and did nothing? Let it happen. Maybe you wanted Anna gone. Maybe you were
28:11ashamed of her. Maybe this was all you're doing.
28:13Listen to yourself. The truth just slipped right out. No, I wanted to see how far you'd go. I wanted
28:21to see what kind of monster you really were.
28:23So what? This was some kind of twisted experiment? You let her abuse our daughter for 18 years just to
28:30prove a point?
28:31Melanie, or are you my mom?
28:34Anna, just breathe, okay? It's not what you think.
28:38Just stop. What? Why did I have to suffer? Just for your stupid grudge?
28:47You've broken my heart, Emily.
28:49Why? Why does everyone choose? Emily? Why did she get everything? Every year, Chanel, grand parties, cakes taller than me,
29:01and I got locked in rooms, starved until I passed out. We were born on the same day, so tell
29:08me, what crime did I commit to deserve this?
29:11You? What makes you think you're even allowed to compare yourself to my daughter? I prayed for the day you
29:17and your precious mother would rot in hell together.
29:20You really surpassed yourself, Sharon.
29:22Don't play innocent now. Emily is disciplined, composed, obedient.
29:28If it weren't for the company, do you really think I'd have left her with you all these years?
29:32Enough. Anna and I are not your dolls to rearrange. Did any of you, for even one second, think about
29:40how we feel?
29:42Everything I did was for you, Emily. You've got everything. Power, success, status, me. You should be thanking me.
29:51Emily, I don't have a real mother. Not if she's messed up like you. You didn't do this for me.
29:58You did it for yourself.
30:00Emily, we did this for your future. We placed you in the Astor family so you'd have the best education,
30:07the best life. And this is the thanks we get? Ungrateful.
30:12And since we're talking about revenge, the most vicious person in this room is Melanie.
30:17He's right! Melanie's actions are worse than Sharon's.
30:21What kind of mother watches her own child get tortured for years and does nothing?
30:28Melanie, Anna is broken. Emily despises you. Be satisfied now?
30:36If none of you wanted me, why did you give birth to me?
30:42Why did I have to suffer? Just for your stupid grudge?
30:47Uh, I...
30:50I called you mom for years, but you're not my mother. So what about me? What about every humiliation? Every
30:59abuse? Every night I cried myself to sleep.
31:04Unbelievable.
31:06I never imagined you could be this cold, Melanie. You stood by while your own daughter was tortured for 18
31:13years.
31:14Honestly, Anna, I almost pity you now. You've been hating the wrong woman this whole time.
31:20No. I hate you. You broke me for your sick, twisted revenge.
31:26Oh, don't be dramatic. Be grateful. I could have also beaten you to death, but I didn't. Look how obedient
31:34you turned out.
31:36Why? Was I punished just because I wasn't born to you? You had to destroy me to prove something?
31:45Exactly. Because you are Melanie's daughter. Every time I saw your face, I felt disgusted.
31:52You hated me that much? Enough to steal my child and torment her?
31:57Yes. Because you had everything. And I lived in your shadow. So I made your daughter suffer. And then I'd
32:05look at my Emily. Smart. Strong. Beautiful. While your daughter flinched at every sound.
32:14And, Mom, is what she's saying true?
32:18Melanie, you watched our own daughter get crushed for 18 years and you said nothing. What kind of mother does
32:24that make you?
32:25If you hated Sharon so much, why didn't you go after her? Why did you just stand there and let
32:31me be destroyed?
32:36If none of you wanted me, why did you give birth to me? I hated Sharon for breaking me into
32:42nothing. I hate you more. I used to pray you were my mom. And you were. And you wanted me
32:50suffer anyway. Why? Why did you do this to me?
33:00Don't come any closer. Anna!
33:08So this is what it's come to, Melanie. Stop pretending already. Having a daughter like this is a stain on
33:15your life. If she dies, you should be relieved.
33:19You will regret this, Sharon. Regret? What should I regret? Not killing her sooner? She dared to hurt Emily today.
33:27This is the punishment she deserves. Keeping her alive is nothing but a waste of resources.
33:32Anna, don't close your eyes. Don't you dare fall asleep. I'm calling 9-1-1 right now. Why? Why?
33:41Anna? Anna? Anna? Anna!
33:45Hurry up! Call 9-1-1 now! Hello? Yes? 9-1-1? Stop! That little bitch pointed a knife at
33:53Emily. This is the punishment she deserves.
33:56You stabbed Anna, Sharon. And now you're blocking me from calling for help. Do you actually want her dead?
34:02Don't be dramatic. That girl is thick-skinned. She won't die so easily. Besides, today she threatened Emily. Tomorrow she
34:11might actually stab her.
34:13I simply delivered justice. A lesson she'll never forget.
34:17So, in your world, teaching a lesson means punching a knife into someone?
34:23Enough! Stop fighting! Anna is bleeding out! We're taking her to the hospital now!
34:35Doctor, please. How is Anna?
34:38She's lost a dangerous amount of blood. Her body shows years of abuse. Old injuries that were never treated.
34:46We don't know if she'll ever wake up.
34:48Well, I guess that settles it. No more competition for Emily now.
34:52You turned a child into this. A half-dead body on a hospital bed and all you can think about
34:58is the company? Are you even human?
35:01Humanity. Oh, that's rich coming from you, huh?
35:04Why wouldn't it come from me? I didn't stab my own daughter.
35:07What did you just say?
35:08The girl you stabbed tonight? The one you tried to kill? She isn't my daughter, Sharon Shaw. She's yours.
35:17The girl you stabbed tonight? The one you tried to kill? She isn't my daughter, Sharon Shaw. She's yours.
35:24Oh, my God. Have you completely lost your mind?
35:28Sharon, when you switched the babies, you were in such a rush you didn't even bother to really look at
35:35them. At how different they were.
35:37What do you mean?
35:38Oh, please. All newborns look identical. No one can tell them apart.
35:42Then why do you suddenly look so nervous, Joshua?
35:45I'm not nervous.
35:46When Emily was born, I noticed a red birthmark on her wrist.
35:51Before I could even mention it, you had already rushed to swap the babies and had stolen her from me.
35:57A birthmark? No. That's impossible. This can't be right.
36:02A birthmark proves nothing. Melanie, let's be honest. Your daughter's practically a vegetable now. You're desperate. Spinning fantasies. Emily is
36:13my sister's child. DNA tests don't lie.
36:17Oh, I agree. A birthmark alone doesn't prove much. Which is why, while Anna was in surgery, I had the
36:23hospital run another DNA test. The results should be in any second now.
36:28Mrs. Astor, these are the DNA results you requested.
36:34What is this? Is this even real? What the hell is happening? Emily is your daughter? Then Anna is mine.
36:51Wait. Melanie, what on earth is going on here? Mom...
37:00Emily, sweetheart, don't worry. Mama's got this. I'll fix everything.
37:04No. No, this is fake. I'm intelligent. And I'm beautiful. There is absolutely no universe where I gave birth to
37:13that gutter rat.
37:15You read this. Admit it. You're just trying to claw your company back, aren't you?
37:19You're still lying to yourself, even now. Let me guess. The fake DNA test you arranged must have cost a
37:24fortune, huh?
37:26I... I don't know what you're talking about. Sharon, you have to believe me.
37:30Enough. Stop lying, both of you. If you wanted control of the Astor group, you needed Emily tied to yourself
37:36somehow. So you forged the DNA results, didn't you?
37:41It's true. You better not be lying to me. I clearly remember switching the babies that night.
37:49Oh, spare us the drama. Do you honestly think I'd watch my child be stolen and do nothing? I'm a
37:57mother, Sharon. Not an idiot.
38:02You... switched them back so Anna really is mine. No, what have I done?
38:12Anna, baby, open your eyes. I'll handle everything else. I promise you'll spend the rest of your life safe and
38:20at peace.
38:21Anna...
38:23Oh, Anna, my baby girl. I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. Please come back to me. Let me
38:31fix this. Let me make it right.
38:34Are you the patient's legal guardian? We found her body covered in injuries. Some recent, others long healed over multiple
38:42infections.
38:47This is your fault. You planned this. If it weren't for you, I would have never laid a hand on
38:53my own daughter.
38:55You lost your mind. Did I put bruises on her? Did I lock her in rooms, starve her? No, you
39:03did that. Her condition is your work.
39:05Shut up. If you hadn't switched them back, Anna wouldn't be lying in a coma right now.
39:10Wake up, Sharon. For once in your life, take responsibility. Even if Anna were my daughter, so what? She's a
39:16child. She's innocent. Why drag her into your twisted revenge games?
39:21Because I wanted to hurt you. Tormenting your daughter was to see you suffer. That made me happy.
39:28You're sick. And you...
39:30Stop. Get a grip.
39:32Why the hell did you lie to me? You stood there and watched me stab my own daughter, your own
39:39niece.
39:40I did it for you. She may never wake up, but the company still matters. We can't bring Anna back.
39:47But the business, we can rebuild from this.
39:50Melanie, you ruined my daughter. So now you owe me. Hand over the Aster Group as compensation.
39:59Hand over the Aster Group as compensation.
40:03Sharon, you've completely lost your damn mind. You stabbed your own daughter. You put her in that bed. Why on
40:09earth should we compensate you?
40:11Melanie, you knew the children hadn't been switched at birth. And you kept that truth buried for 18 years. We
40:17have every reason to believe you did it out of spite. You don't get to wash your hands of Anna's
40:23condition.
40:23Exactly. Every time I punished Anna, you were right there, watching. You didn't stop me. You wanted this. You wanted
40:31her dead.
40:32Oh, spare us. Every time we tried to stop you, you snapped at us. And every time we intervened, you
40:39tormented her worse.
40:40Hand over the Aster Group. Now, or I'll expose you. I'll tell the world how you destroyed my daughter's life.
40:47You'll be remembered as a monster.
40:50Expose me? After all the sick, twisted things you've done? You still think I'd let you walk away?
40:57Sharon Shaw. Joshua Shaw. You are both under arrest on charges including infant abduction, child abuse, and attempted murder.
41:06Melanie, you called the police on us?
41:09Of course. Crimes have consequences.
41:15You can't do this. Let go of me.
41:17Sharon, if you'd known this day was coming, you might have thought twice before becoming this person.
41:21Sharon Shaw, you destroyed your daughter with your own hands. Now spend the rest of your life behind bars trying
41:27to make up for it.
41:33It's been a year. The monsters are gone. You're safe now. Please wake up.
41:47Emily.
41:49Happy birthday.
41:52Mom!
41:53Anna has woken up!
41:57Oh...
41:59Anna, thank God.
42:01You're awake. How do you feel?
42:04Aunt Melanie, thanks for caring for me this entire year. I heard every single thing you said. I'm so sorry
42:11for misunderstanding you.
42:12Oh, honey. I'm the one who failed to protect you. I should be asking for forgiveness. You and Emily, born
42:20on the same day. In my heart, you've always been daughters.
42:24Can... Emily really be my sister?
42:27Anna, I have always considered you my sister.
42:32Then...
42:32Can I call you mom?
42:35Of course, sweetheart. If that's what you want.
42:40We are family now. And nothing and no one will ever hurt you again.
43:04Sharon's at labor. Where the hell are you? I'm on my way. I had to take Mrs. Astor to the
43:08hospital first.
43:09Unbelievable. What a loyal driver. You care more about them than your own family.
43:23Sharon?
43:30Deep breath.
43:33Three, two, one...
43:36Push!
43:37Oh, my gosh!
43:39Oh!
43:41Oh!
43:42Oh!
43:45Congratulations. It's a baby girl.
43:48Oh, my baby girl.
43:51Hey.
43:53My sweet girl.
43:57Oh, Sharon.
43:59I don't think your husband knows you're here. He left to get you after dropping us off.
44:03You should call him and tell him the good news.
44:08Ma'am, I'm afraid I have some terrible news.
44:12Your husband was in a serious car accident.
44:15He didn't survive. I'm so sorry.
44:17Oh, my God!
44:19How could this happen to me?
44:22Your husband died while working for us.
44:25I can't bring him back, but I will make this right.
44:28You're my best friend.
44:30I promise. You and your baby will have a wonderful life.
44:35Babe, let's buy the house next door and give it to Sharon.
44:38We'll be neighbors. We'll raise our girls together. Like sisters.
44:41Thank you, Melanie.
44:53Wait, wait. Are you sure about this, Sharon? What if Melanie finds out?
44:58She won't. She's out cold.
45:02That smug bitch.
45:04She's not smarter, not prettier. Just lucky.
45:08Born with a silver spoon so far up her ass and she calls it talent.
45:14CEO? Please.
45:17And then she makes me her secretary like it's a charity.
45:20My husband only had to play chauffeur and finish her.
45:24But that idiot drove her to the hospital first and died before the job was done.
45:30So I'll do it slowly.
45:32She'll raise my daughter like royalty.
45:35I'll raise hers in hell.
45:37She'll pay for everything.
