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.
00:00:39Well, what's this big show about?
00:00:41Probably 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.
00:00:54You know, you're sunk me up, please.
00:00:55Let'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 off limits.
00:01:24It's my final military.
00:01:25Ugh.
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-
00:02:33Okay, okay.
00:02:37Cut it out, okay?
00:02:39I can be your boyfriend.
00:02:40If you can't tell anybody, nobody can bow.
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 seriously in love with a red-faced Lori?
00:02:59I mean, even though you, you know, lost the bed, it's been so long now.
00:03:03And we're about to graduate.
00:03:05Are you really gonna stick it with her?
00:03:09Of course not.
00:03:10Of course not.
00:03:17I'm gonna dump her after we graduate.
00:03:19Paris is way in, brother.
00:03:22So that's how my pathetic story ends.
00:03:28We never saw each other again after that.
00:03:34Alright, we will let you know the results of the interview within a week, Mrs. Nielsen.
00:03:40Just call me Carol.
00:03:42Alright.
00:03:43Carol let us.
00:03:45Carol let us.
00:04:07Be careful!
00:04:13I say no to us.
00:04:14Behind me's lies.
00:04:14I digamos to go get concerned about this oficial inside the hospital Multiverse.
00:04:26He's back.
00:04:27Does he recognize me?
00:04:30Mr. Anderson, I am so sorry.
00:04:32She was here for an interview.
00:04:33I'll escort them out immediately.
00:04:36What am I expecting?
00:04:38Of course he won't recognize me.
00:04:40I'm so sorry.
00:04:42Mr. Anderson, this will not happen again.
00:04:44Cody, we're going.
00:04:45Right now.
00:04:50She's a single mother.
00:04:52Special case.
00:04:54This won't happen again.
00:04:56Why does she seem familiar?
00:05:00Cody, you can't just run off like that.
00:05:02Especially with your heart condition.
00:05:03What if something had happened to you?
00:05:05Mom, was that Dad?
00:05:08He looks just like this.
00:05:11No.
00:05:12See, that wasn't him.
00:05:13That was just...
00:05:13Someone who looks like him.
00:05:16He never wanted me.
00:05:18He would never want you.
00:05:21I will protect you
00:05:22from suffering the same humiliation I've endured.
00:05:25Some truths are better left buried.
00:05:29You've vanished since that day.
00:05:31I've been looking for you for seven years.
00:05:36Lori, where are you?
00:05:38Where are you?
00:05:54Hello?
00:05:55Hello?
00:05:56The number you dialed is out of service.
00:05:59Miss Nielsen, this is City General Hospital.
00:06:01The $20,000 fee for the space of cardiac treatment needs to be settled in full by next week.
00:06:07Okay, uh...
00:06:09Sure, I will have the money.
00:06:14I must be seeing things.
00:06:16She couldn't be worried.
00:06:22Come on.
00:06:29What's up?
00:06:34Still wearing that cheap thing, huh?
00:06:36People are going to start thinking that the mighty Andersons have gone bankrupt.
00:06:40What do you want, Lucas?
00:06:41You've been back from Paris for, what, a week?
00:06:43Let's celebrate.
00:06:44All right, I'm throwing you a welcome home party.
00:06:47No, I'm not interested.
00:06:49Oh, come on.
00:06:50Look, I've invited all of our graduation class, including your ex, um...
00:06:55What was her name?
00:06:56Lori Nielsen?
00:07:00Elysium bar.
00:07:01Tomorrow night, 8-sharp.
00:07:06Would she show up?
00:07:10Hey, Carol, any, um, plans this weekend?
00:07:13Try and get a coffee or something?
00:07:15Oh, um, sorry, I'm married.
00:07:21You mean your fake marriage to Eric?
00:07:23Once his grandma passes, you're signing those divorce papers.
00:07:26Why say no to a date?
00:07:27Because I am not here to date, I'm here to make money.
00:07:30For Cody.
00:07:33Private party tonight.
00:07:35Real high rollers.
00:07:36And they've requested special attire.
00:07:38Put these on.
00:07:40I'm not going to wear that.
00:07:42I thought you needed money for your son.
00:07:45Either you put this on, or you walk out that door right now.
00:08:01Hurry up.
00:08:02They're here.
00:08:18Oh my gosh!
00:08:20Get right off, get right off, get right off, get right off, get right off, get right off, get right
00:08:25off...
00:08:30Get off, get off, get off, get off...
00:08:31Demolition
00:08:36I heard Wesley came back to take over the Anderson group.
00:08:39I haven't seen this guy in years.
00:08:42I kinda miss him.
00:08:43He was kinda a campus health group.
00:08:47I wonder if he's still single.
00:08:49Come on, it's none of your concern Olivia is the only one who matches him
00:08:55Exactly you two were meant to be together
00:09:02Welcome back, Wesley. I saved you a seat right next to you. Oh, it took you long enough, okay?
00:09:10Still a king, huh? Something that shit. Remember in school everyone wants to date him. That weirdo Lori
00:09:17news. Oh, please. She was such a clown. Do you remember that day she bumped straight into you?
00:09:25Oh my god, classic memory. So, what ever happened to her anyways? No one knows.
00:09:33She kind of just vanished after graduation. But who cares? Probably dead in a ditch somewhere.
00:09:41Say that again.
00:09:51I don't know who this big shot is, but it appears to be huge and I'm going to kill you.
00:09:56You really don't know? It's from Wesley Anderson, heir to the Anderson group. He's right over there.
00:10:10Hey, where are you going? I can't. I can't.
00:10:13Hey, we need more drinks here. What are you waiting for? Move.
00:10:21For Cody.
00:10:39I'm so sorry.
00:10:43He's gone.
00:10:45He's gone.
00:10:47He's gone.
00:11:02Those eyes, how can they be so much like hers?
00:11:12Get your hands off of him!
00:11:15Are you looking to get fired, you idiot?
00:11:21Hey, you okay?
00:11:22Hi.
00:11:24Wesley, please, let me handle this for you.
00:11:28Why did you give me such a similar feeling to Louie?
00:11:31I have to know.
00:11:44Why does he always see me at my worst?
00:11:48Forget it.
00:11:50After tonight, you'll never have to see him again.
00:11:58Could it really be her? After all these years?
00:12:03I'm a dumper after graduation.
00:12:04Bears is way in.
00:12:22The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:28The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:30The number you are trying to reach is out of service.
00:12:39I must be losing my mind, she can't possibly be her.
00:13:01Whoa! What are you doing? Who are you? What? What is your name? Carol.
00:13:13Have we met before? Yeah. At your office? No, before that. No. How would a nobody like me ever meet
00:13:27someone like you?
00:13:37Look, Mr. Anderson, about your suit, I'm really, really sorry and I'll pay for it.
00:13:43She's not Lori. What was I expecting? I'm sorry. What? For stopping you and scaring you. So much like...
00:13:59Never mind. Why don't you allow me to drive you home? No, thank you. I'll manage.
00:14:11What, on that ankle? I don't think so. Plus, you think you're gonna ruin a $5,000 suit and just
00:14:17walk away?
00:14:18Okay? Consider your apology and mine. Let me drive you home.
00:14:23Let me drive you home. Let me drive you home.
00:14:38Wesley is mine! No one can take him from me. You're so dead, bitch.
00:14:49Seven years. No trace. Did something happen to you?
00:15:02Hey, Lucas. Hey, look, I know you built up a network over the years.
00:15:05I need you to find out everything that happened to Lord Nielsen after graduation.
00:15:09Yeah, everything. All right. Thanks, man.
00:15:16The final shortlist for the executive assistant position, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:23Even same last name.
00:15:26I want her.
00:15:35Hello?
00:15:37Ms. Nielsen? This is Anderson Corporation HR. Congratulations.
00:15:42You've been selected for the executive assistant position to Mr. Anderson himself.
00:15:47Work for him. After everything that happened, I can't.
00:15:56Lord, did you not get my text? I told you not to come. It's pouring out.
00:16:01It was state night. I didn't want to miss it.
00:16:31It was state night.
00:16:32It was state night.
00:16:32It was state night.
00:16:36It was state night.
00:16:56The government is as public as a government government.
00:16:57Will the Father be here at your next prenatal checkup?
00:17:00No, he has no idea.
00:17:02Miss Nielsen, the father has a right to know.
00:17:05I think you should tell him.
00:17:19Hello?
00:17:21Wesley's phone.
00:17:23I should have known better than to hope.
00:17:26I won't humiliate myself again.
00:17:40What an honor.
00:17:53Hey there.
00:17:55Sweetheart.
00:17:56Nice ass.
00:18:02I want her here tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp.
00:18:06Uh, um, I'm afraid that won't be impossible.
00:18:10Why not?
00:18:11She, uh, she declined the offer.
00:18:19Someone actually said no to you.
00:18:22Oh, this is priceless.
00:18:25Her reason?
00:18:27She didn't give a full reason, sir, but she did say.
00:18:32What?
00:18:34She said she'd be an assistant for anyone, just not for you.
00:18:42Oh, my.
00:18:44I need to meet her.
00:18:55You better back off right now or I will call the cops.
00:18:58Don't be like that, sweetheart.
00:18:59I just want to have some fun.
00:19:04Who's this?
00:19:05Your husband?
00:19:07Actually, that is my husband and he's on his way right now.
00:19:10Kara, are you okay?
00:19:14Let go of me.
00:19:16Kara, where are you?
00:19:20Get off of me.
00:19:22Save the resistance for the bedroom.
00:19:24Fuck off!
00:19:30What's going on here?
00:19:31They're harassing me.
00:19:36Is this how our staff treat our customers?
00:19:40Apologize.
00:19:42What?
00:19:42No, no way.
00:19:44Listen, Miss Smith owns this place.
00:19:46So if she says you're wrong, you apologize.
00:19:50Or you could lose your jaw and that's surgery money for a little brat.
00:20:00Sorry.
00:20:01I don't think that was nearly enough.
00:20:04I did what you asked.
00:20:22Let me help you get dry, baby.
00:20:28Die, bitch!
00:20:30Die, bitch!
00:20:32Die, bitch!
00:20:35Die, bitch!
00:20:42Get the fuck out!
00:20:47Die, bitch!
00:20:49This is unacceptable.
00:20:51We must tighten security.
00:20:53I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:20:54Are you...
00:20:54You can leave, too.
00:20:55Shh!
00:20:57Oh, my God.
00:20:59Um...
00:21:00Mr. Anderson.
00:21:02What are you doing here?
00:21:03You said your husband was on his way, so...
00:21:06Uh...
00:21:07Oh, uh...
00:21:09I...
00:21:09I didn't know that you were the one who was calling.
00:21:12I was just trying to scare them.
00:21:14Where is this husband of yours?
00:21:16Does he always let you handle situations like this alone?
00:21:20He's working abroad.
00:21:25Oh, my God.
00:21:26Your arm.
00:21:28Wait, don't look.
00:21:29You'll get crazy if you see blood.
00:21:36Oh!
00:21:37Oh!
00:21:38Oh!
00:21:38Oh!
00:21:39Are you okay?
00:21:40Oh!
00:21:42Oh!
00:21:46Oh!
00:21:52What are you doing?
00:21:53How did you know I could scream it from about blood?
00:21:56Nobody else would cover my eyes like that.
00:22:00Is it you?
00:22:04Or...
00:22:07Uh...
00:22:08I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:10My son, he gets dizzy when he sees blood, so...
00:22:15I guess it's just a force of habit.
00:22:19Why did you refuse the job?
00:22:22I'd be an assistant for anybody except him.
00:22:25Why?
00:22:25Uh, that.
00:22:27Um...
00:22:28Oh!
00:22:32Carol, you need to come home now!
00:22:35Cody collapsed!
00:22:36What?
00:22:36I'll be right there.
00:22:40This is urgent.
00:22:41We've already prioritized him to the highest level.
00:22:44Prep him for surgery.
00:22:45Immediately.
00:22:45We do have a donor heart that matched him, but our lead surgical team is currently in
00:22:49another procedure.
00:22:51We're critically short-staffed.
00:22:52Well, there must be someone else.
00:22:54Please.
00:22:54Get the best cardiac team in here right now.
00:22:56I'll pay for all the expenses.
00:22:58Yes, Mr. Anderson.
00:22:59Right away.
00:23:06The surgery was a success.
00:23:10Thank you so much.
00:23:15Mr. Anderson, I don't even know how to put into words how grateful I am.
00:23:19My office.
00:23:21Tomorrow morning.
00:23:22Eight o'clock.
00:23:24Don't be late.
00:23:30All right.
00:23:32You will manage Mr. Anderson's entire schedule.
00:23:36Emails, meetings, even his lunch.
00:23:40She gets to be that close to Mr. Anderson all day.
00:23:43Just look at that face all day.
00:23:45Lucky.
00:23:49Familiarize yourself by current schedule.
00:23:51And this week's agenda.
00:23:53Of course, Mr. Anderson.
00:24:02She's working for him.
00:24:04That social performing bitch.
00:24:10Get her out.
00:24:13I don't care how.
00:24:16Make it look like she messed up.
00:24:21Harold, hi.
00:24:23Mr. Anderson needs his file at home tonight.
00:24:26Just place it on his home office desk.
00:24:28Okay.
00:24:29Of course.
00:24:33Mr. Anderson never lets anyone in his study.
00:24:37Tomorrow, she'll definitely get fired.
00:25:04Oh my god.
00:25:05I'm so sorry.
00:25:07I was just dropping this off.
00:25:08I had no idea that you were even home.
00:25:11Wesley, are you ready for our date?
00:25:16God, not her again.
00:25:17Oh.
00:25:20What are you doing?
00:25:21Shh.
00:25:22Wesley, are you here?
00:25:33What the hell?
00:25:35What are you doing?
00:25:38It is as you see it.
00:25:40See yourself out.
00:25:48Okay, she's gone, so your little performance can be over.
00:25:53Get off of me.
00:25:54Mr. Anderson, I'm your assistant.
00:25:57Next time you want to scare off a date, hire someone else.
00:25:59I'm not your prop, okay?
00:26:01Okay, look, it's not like that.
00:26:02Let's just...
00:26:23What do you think you're doing?
00:26:27What do you think you're doing?
00:26:30I was just putting the files on.
00:26:31Who said you can be in here?
00:26:34Ashley told me to...
00:26:35Enough!
00:26:39I am sorry.
00:26:40Mr. Anderson, it will not happen again.
00:26:47Did you just take a photo of me?
00:26:52Sorry.
00:26:54I know that we're a secret.
00:26:55I wasn't going to show anyone.
00:26:59You don't have to steal moments, Lori.
00:27:01I don't have to steal, Lori.
00:27:09Carol.
00:27:10I love that.
00:27:28Hey, I tracked down some information about Lori.
00:27:31She was in a terrible car accident, and I heard she was severely injured trying to save her child.
00:27:36A car accident?
00:27:37When?
00:27:39Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:39She has a child?
00:27:41Where are they?
00:27:45Where are they?
00:27:46I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:27:47She dropped off the grid after that.
00:27:49She just vanished.
00:27:50No, I need you to keep looking.
00:27:53Find her whatever it takes.
00:27:59Carol, my office, please.
00:28:06What?
00:28:07She didn't get fired?
00:28:16Carol, listen.
00:28:17About last night.
00:28:19Wesley.
00:28:20Who the hell was that woman at your house last night?
00:28:22Uh, Mom, right now's not the best time.
00:28:24Are you seeing someone?
00:28:26Who is she?
00:28:27Who was that woman?
00:28:29Who is she?
00:28:31Right behind you.
00:28:39No, it's not like that.
00:28:41I'm his assistant.
00:28:42I'm married.
00:28:44I was dropping off a file.
00:28:45That's all.
00:28:47You heard her.
00:28:48She's my assistant.
00:28:50You can go now, assistant.
00:28:57Wesley.
00:28:58Don't tell me you're still hung up on that ex-girlfriend from college.
00:29:01Are you?
00:29:04The ex-girlfriend?
00:29:05Could that mean me?
00:29:08Carol.
00:29:10Um, a moment, please.
00:29:17Actually, Mom, yes, I am.
00:29:19There's no other woman besides Lori.
00:29:20Ugh, you're insane.
00:29:22She's been gone, vanished for years.
00:29:24Look, I don't care.
00:29:25I will find her no matter what it takes.
00:29:26You-
00:29:27Mom, look at me.
00:29:29I'm going to be late for a doctor's appointment.
00:29:31We need to go.
00:29:32I'm not finished.
00:29:33I'm late.
00:29:34Mom, please.
00:29:36We'll continue this.
00:29:45Ugh, with his attitude, I may never get a grandchild.
00:29:48God knows how much I really want one.
00:29:51So, God.
00:29:54Excuse me, ma'am.
00:29:55You dropped this.
00:29:56Oh, my goodness.
00:29:58This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:03This child looked just like Wesley did at his age.
00:30:06He had one girlfriend at university.
00:30:08Didn't he?
00:30:09I mean, could this boy be their child?
00:30:12Mom, please.
00:30:13There's no way.
00:30:14Wesley would never.
00:30:15Not with her.
00:30:17There you are.
00:30:18Come on, let's go back to the ward.
00:30:23No, these figures are unacceptable.
00:30:35Okay, who eats fries with yogurt?
00:30:37That's disgusting.
00:30:38It's delicious.
00:30:40My secret recipe.
00:30:41Try it.
00:30:43Why did you use yogurt?
00:30:49Yeah, sorry.
00:30:50They were out of ketchup.
00:30:52So, I used yogurt.
00:30:53But if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:30:59So, I used yogurt.
00:31:00But if you don't like it, I can make you a new plate immediately.
00:31:03No, it's fine.
00:31:08Sir, could I leave work early today?
00:31:11My son is getting discharged from the hospital.
00:31:14Sure.
00:31:15I'll drive you.
00:31:24Mom, I forgot my teddy bear in the room.
00:31:26That's okay.
00:31:27I'll go back and get it.
00:31:28Okay.
00:31:29Stay right here.
00:31:30Okay.
00:31:33Wesley, I wish you were my dad.
00:31:35Why do you say that?
00:31:36I like you.
00:31:37And you look very much like him.
00:31:38My dad.
00:31:39Want to see a photo?
00:31:40I can show you.
00:31:42Oh, um, sure.
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:59Don't tell my mom.
00:32:00She said I wanted to talk about my dad with anyone.
00:32:03Okay.
00:32:05Yay!
00:32:08Everything okay?
00:32:10What were we talking about?
00:32:12I was just inviting Uncle Wesley to dinner tonight.
00:32:16Honey, Mr. Anderson is a very busy man.
00:32:18And I'm sure he has pets tonight.
00:32:22Not tonight.
00:32:23Yay!
00:32:29I found a picture.
00:32:31Mom hides it.
00:32:35Mom moved it again.
00:32:37It's okay.
00:32:38We can try again another time.
00:32:40Shh.
00:32:54Oh!
00:32:57Graduation mug.
00:32:58God, it's so cheesy.
00:33:00Please?
00:33:01All right, fine.
00:33:03Fine.
00:33:03You can get whatever you want.
00:33:07Okay, dinner's ready. Cody, go wash your hands.
00:33:18Who are you, really?
00:33:20Why are you always asking me this question?
00:33:24I'm Carol.
00:33:26Why do you have this mug?
00:33:28Because I graduated from that school.
00:33:31It's a souvenir.
00:33:33You went to business school. I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:40You went to business school. I don't recall anyone in the class named Carol.
00:33:44No, I went to school languages.
00:33:49It's a really big campus. You probably wouldn't have run into me.
00:33:53It's all in my resume. You can check, Mr. Anderson.
00:34:01Hey.
00:34:03All right, all right. Whatever you want, sweetheart.
00:34:06Okay.
00:34:08Look, you can clear my schedule tomorrow.
00:34:10And you can take the day off if you want to hang out with Carol.
00:34:12Oh, thank you.
00:34:15It's very generous.
00:34:19All right, sweetie.
00:34:20Pick out anything you want.
00:34:22It's a celebration for getting out of the hospital.
00:34:28Everyone available, drop what you're doing.
00:34:30All hands on deck in the VIP lounge now.
00:34:40All right, sweetheart.
00:34:42Pick out whatever you want.
00:34:43All right, I will buy you everything.
00:34:45Come here.
00:34:50Lucky little girl.
00:34:52I've heard she's Mr. Anderson's secret daughter.
00:34:56What?
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:57Rumor is he's never gotten over some ex-girlfriend from college.
00:35:01That's her kid.
00:35:02He spoils her rotten.
00:35:04Totally daddy's girl.
00:35:07So the woman on the phone, that was her.
00:35:11The one he never forgot.
00:35:14It was never me.
00:35:17They even have a child together.
00:35:23Carol, let me drive you home.
00:35:26No, thank you, Mr. Anderson.
00:35:28I'll manage.
00:35:30Carol, wait.
00:35:36What's wrong?
00:35:37Nothing.
00:35:38It's just my husband.
00:35:44Hey, Carol.
00:35:45Got some great news.
00:35:47I'll be back next week.
00:35:48Oh, that's great.
00:35:50Okay.
00:35:51I will.
00:35:52Bye.
00:35:59Is there anything else, Mr. Anderson?
00:36:03No.
00:36:04You can go.
00:36:08What is wrong with me?
00:36:10That felt like jealousy.
00:36:12No way.
00:36:14Lori, where are you?
00:36:17Ah, Wes.
00:36:18I, um, I found her.
00:36:21Oh, yeah?
00:36:23You're gonna have to prepare yourself.
00:36:25It's, um, it's not good.
00:36:28Just say it, Lucas.
00:36:30I'm sorry, man.
00:36:31She's gone.
00:36:32She didn't survive the accident.
00:36:41I'm sorry.
00:36:42I'm sorry.
00:36:42I'm sorry.
00:36:50Wes, man, you have to, you have to move on.
00:36:55Just go, Lucas.
00:36:57You're gonna be alone.
00:36:58Okay.
00:37:03Wes is still obsessed with finding this girl, Lori, after all this time.
00:37:08That's crazy, right?
00:37:09Mm-hmm.
00:37:12All right, well, I gotta hit the head.
00:37:14Don't forget all the good stuff, Mongo.
00:37:15Sure.
00:37:16All right.
00:37:22Girls, we can't let him keep going on like this.
00:37:25That bitch needs to be wiped out completely.
00:37:27How about we let him find her dead?
00:37:31We give him a death certificate.
00:37:34Do it.
00:37:35Make it convincing.
00:37:59Mr. Anderson, it's been weeks.
00:38:01We really can't postpone this board meeting any longer.
00:38:09Mr. Anderson, it's been weeks.
00:38:10Oh, God.
00:38:11Mr. Anderson, it's been weeks.
00:38:14Searched for her for seven years.
00:38:16How can she just be gone?
00:38:20Who?
00:38:21The mother of his secret daughter?
00:38:24God, he really loved her that much.
00:38:28I'm so sorry.
00:38:31I mean, she wouldn't want to see you like this.
00:38:34It's me.
00:38:47You have to shape up, okay?
00:38:49You have a company to run.
00:38:51You have people who depend on you.
00:38:52Lori once did the same thing.
00:38:54I mean, why is she so much like her?
00:38:57Unless, maybe Lucas was wrong.
00:39:02I'm sorry.
00:39:03Here, I'm going to turn you off.
00:39:17I'm sorry.
00:39:18I'm sorry.
00:39:18I'm sorry.
00:39:18I'm sorry.
00:39:18I'm sorry.
00:39:19I'm sorry.
00:39:22Mr. Anderson, everyone is waiting for you at the office for this meeting.
00:39:26Am I still lying to myself?
00:39:29I'm such an asshole.
00:39:35My apologies.
00:39:37You're right.
00:39:38I'll get ready.
00:39:46Carol.
00:39:48Carol, wait.
00:39:49What do you say we grab dinner tonight?
00:39:51You know, as a way of saying thank you for that wake-up call today?
00:39:58Please don't get that real staring.
00:40:01What's this?
00:40:02Hey, girl.
00:40:03Hi, Dad.
00:40:04Hi, Dad.
00:40:06It seems like you have prior plans, Mr. Anderson, so I will just see myself.
00:40:11Wait, wait, wait.
00:40:13What about tomorrow, then?
00:40:16Is this your new girlfriend?
00:40:28Oh, um, no, no, sweetie.
00:40:31I'm just your father's assistant.
00:40:34You know, he's not my dad.
00:40:36He's my uncle.
00:40:38This is Sarah, my sister Jennifer's daughter.
00:40:41So, shall we go?
00:40:43We can pick up Cody along the way.
00:40:45Dinner's on me.
00:40:48Yay.
00:40:59That fucking bitch.
00:41:02He actually took her out to dinner.
00:41:05Shh.
00:41:07Shh.
00:41:25Weston, are you falling for Carol?
00:41:34Sarah, you don't have to ask that.
00:41:42Got you, bitch.
00:41:44Did you really think that you belonged at his table?
00:41:47I mean, you're just a piece of trash.
00:41:53Open the door.
00:41:54Let me out.
00:41:55Easy there.
00:41:56The phone's just getting started.
00:42:12Now, how does that feel?
00:42:14This is what you get for trying to save Wesley.
00:42:17Ladies, strip her.
00:42:21Let's go!
00:42:22Let's go!
00:42:37Why is mom taking me so long?
00:42:45Mom?
00:42:46Let me go!
00:42:47Mom?
00:42:48Mom, are you in there?
00:42:52Shut your mouth, you little brat.
00:43:00Sarah, where did Cody go?
00:43:01He went by as well.
00:43:04We stay right here, okay?
00:43:08Move!
00:43:09My mom's in there.
00:43:10You misheard.
00:43:11Now get lost.
00:43:16You annoying little brat.
00:43:25What's going on?
00:43:28Wesley, I...
00:43:29It was an accident.
00:43:30This little boy was trying to go into the women's restroom.
00:43:34That's all.
00:43:35Cody, are you okay?
00:43:36What's wrong?
00:43:37Mom is crying in the bathroom.
00:43:38She can tell...
00:43:41Wesley, wait!
00:43:42No!
00:43:42Wait!
00:43:45Mr. Eggerson, it's gone.
00:43:46Shut up!
00:43:51I won't let you get away with this.
00:43:53You'll both pay.
00:44:18No, I'm sorry.
00:44:19I was checking your temperature.
00:44:23I should go.
00:44:28Wesley, thank you for everything.
00:44:44I think I have feelings for her, bro.
00:44:46For Carol.
00:44:47Yes!
00:44:50Uh, finally.
00:44:51We're moving on.
00:44:52Yeah, but are there real feelings, or is it just because she feels familiar?
00:44:57Who cares?
00:44:58Dude, if she makes you feel happy, that's all that matters.
00:45:00Go for it.
00:45:01Maybe she's married to me.
00:45:03She's what?
00:45:04And she has a kid.
00:45:06Married, huh?
00:45:09Um...
00:45:09Have you met her husband yet?
00:45:12No, actually.
00:45:14But I've been to her house, and it doesn't really feel like she lives there.
00:45:19I don't know.
00:45:20The whole thing is kind of weird.
00:45:22That is suspicious.
00:45:24But who would lie about having a husband?
00:45:26If that's the case...
00:45:28She's definitely hiding something.
00:45:32Actually, I've got a plan.
00:45:47You need a hand?
00:45:48Uh, no.
00:45:49No, you're a guest.
00:45:50Just relax.
00:45:51I got this.
00:45:53I don't see a spare light bulb around.
00:45:55You sure you don't need one?
00:45:57Um...
00:45:58Actually, yeah.
00:46:00I think they're in the cabinet drawer in the study.
00:46:04Okay.
00:46:04You got it.
00:46:05Thanks.
00:46:14Is that her husband?
00:46:17Hi.
00:46:19Why are you so nervous?
00:46:20What's in there?
00:46:22Uh, nothing.
00:46:24You do everything yourself?
00:46:26Did your husband never plan on coming home?
00:46:29He's really busy working abroad.
00:46:33Do you even have a husband, Carol?
00:46:36Because I don't see any photos of the two of you anywhere.
00:46:39Shh.
00:46:41Careful.
00:46:48I should get that.
00:47:00I'm home early.
00:47:01Surprise.
00:47:10And this is...
00:47:15Um, this is...
00:47:17Mr. Anderson, my boss.
00:47:20Eric, Carol's husband.
00:47:22Pleasure to meet you.
00:47:23Would you like to stay for lunch?
00:47:26No, I was just leaving.
00:47:32The transfer came through.
00:47:34I'm based in L.A. now.
00:47:35Oh, that's...
00:47:36That's great.
00:47:38I'm looking for an apartment, so I'll move out soon.
00:47:41No rush.
00:47:42Actually, you two can stay as long as you need.
00:47:44Shh.
00:47:53Hey, Carol.
00:47:58Hello?
00:48:00What?
00:48:01I'll be right there.
00:48:12Why'd you start that fight, Cody?
00:48:14They said I didn't have a dad.
00:48:16That, I was lying.
00:48:18Your dad's just working far away.
00:48:20But he's back now, right?
00:48:23Hey, come on.
00:48:24You told me he looked like me.
00:48:25You better look than he is.
00:48:27No, he's not.
00:48:28What?
00:48:30Eric isn't my real dad.
00:48:32I want to tell you a secret.
00:48:34My mom and Eric are not...
00:48:37Cody.
00:48:39What did I tell you about fighting?
00:48:41It's never okay.
00:48:43He was provoked.
00:48:44That other kid says some cruel things to him.
00:48:48Honey, you know we can't solve problems with our fists.
00:48:57Why don't you guys just talk it out?
00:48:59I think this kid needs to apologize to Cody first.
00:49:02Before we discuss anything else.
00:49:04My son was just stating a fact.
00:49:07Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:12My son was just stating a fact.
00:49:16Everyone knows he doesn't have a father.
00:49:17I am his father.
00:49:20You will apologize.
00:49:22Now.
00:49:24Or what?
00:49:25Or you'll deal with the full force of being Anderson Ligleton.
00:49:30Oh God.
00:49:31He is Wesley Anderson.
00:49:34I see for misunderstanding.
00:49:37Apologize to the boy, dear.
00:49:39Honey, apologize.
00:49:47Hey, Cody.
00:49:49You did a really good job at apologizing to that little boy today.
00:49:53But as a reward, I'll take you to get your favorite toy tomorrow.
00:49:57Yes!
00:49:59Alright.
00:49:59I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
00:50:03Mom, can I sleep in my dad?
00:50:06Shh.
00:50:14Hey, I made reservations at that Italian place for tomorrow night.
00:50:18Would you want to go?
00:50:20We can't.
00:50:21We have plans with Uncle Wetsu tomorrow.
00:50:25Of course.
00:50:27Another time then.
00:50:29Ooh.
00:50:37Okay, sweetie.
00:50:38Uncle Wetsu's on his way.
00:50:39She'll pick out anything you want.
00:50:40Just one thing.
00:50:43Okay.
00:50:46Hello?
00:50:49Yeah, hi.
00:50:50I was hoping to schedule a consultation to discuss divorce proceedings.
00:50:56Heard that little brat was claustrophobic.
00:51:01Get ready for hell, you little brat.
00:51:04Yeah, thank you so much.
00:51:06Bye.
00:51:07Cody!
00:51:09Cody?
00:51:12Cody?
00:51:14Hey, what's going on?
00:51:16I can't, I can't find Cody.
00:51:17What?
00:51:19Hey, are you looking for your son?
00:51:21Yeah.
00:51:22Apparently there's a kid passed out in the storage room.
00:51:38He's okay.
00:51:39He just fainted from a panic attack.
00:51:42He has claustrophobia.
00:51:44So,
00:51:45you need to avoid getting him into situations that have that trigger.
00:51:51I have that too.
00:51:52Another coincidence?
00:51:58Hey.
00:52:00Oh, baby, I'm awake.
00:52:02Are you hungry?
00:52:04Can I have a hot dog?
00:52:08I'll go get you one, buddy, okay?
00:52:11Okay.
00:52:13Carol, I got your favorite tacos.
00:52:23Thanks.
00:52:24I want a hot dog.
00:52:29Mr. Anderson,
00:52:30my wife and I owe you a big one.
00:52:35Well,
00:52:36I gotta go.
00:52:38Wesley, I...
00:52:39I'll see you, Mo.
00:52:53I appreciate you
00:52:54looking after Carol and Cody,
00:52:57but as her husband,
00:52:59I'll handle things from here.
00:53:01Funny.
00:53:01Didn't need to handle it for quite a while now
00:53:04and you're nowhere to be found.
00:53:05From what I hear,
00:53:07you're not even Cody's real father.
00:53:13So what if I'm not Cody's biological father?
00:53:16I'm still Carol's husband.
00:53:18And you.
00:53:20Better stay away from my wife.
00:53:22I don't care whose wife she is.
00:53:24Either you make her happy,
00:53:26or I will.
00:53:34I don't care.
00:53:35Carol?
00:53:36This past few months,
00:53:37I...
00:53:37I know it started as an arrangement,
00:53:39but my feelings...
00:53:48Great.
00:53:49You're home.
00:53:51Carol,
00:53:52there's something I need to tell you.
00:53:53I...
00:53:53Eric,
00:53:54I need to tell you something first.
00:53:56Thank you for helping us when we had nowhere to go.
00:54:01I feel like we have been bothering you for a while now.
00:54:11Perhaps it's time we get it, of course.
00:54:22Is something wrong? Is now a bad time?
00:54:28No, it's fine. Sure.
00:54:43Oh, Eric. I'm so sorry.
00:54:51Don't be. I just want you to be happy.
00:54:57Whenever you're ready, just let me know. I'll sign the papers.
00:55:03Thank you. We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:22We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:30We'll move out in a few days.
00:55:34Thanksgiving is coming up.
00:55:37Sarah would love it if you and Cody joined us.
00:55:40No pressure, just...
00:55:42Um, that's...
00:55:43Sounds great.
00:55:45We'll be there.
00:56:13She got divorced.
00:56:23Carol.
00:56:25Where are you? I need to see you now.
00:56:27Now?
00:56:28Uh, I can come to the office.
00:56:30Look, that's fine. I'll meet you there.
00:56:39Hey, sorry, traffic.
00:56:40Why are you divorced?
00:56:43All due respect, Mr. Anderson, that is my personal business.
00:56:47Why, Carol?
00:56:49Tell me the truth.
00:56:52Uh...
00:56:52Fine. Do you want the truth?
00:56:56Eric was my neighbor.
00:56:58And he offered us a place to stay, so...
00:57:01I agreed to a paper marriage so he could fulfill his grandmother's dying wish.
00:57:06Satisfied?
00:57:08Okay. Well, I do have work to do, so...
00:57:13Carol.
00:57:17Look, I can't keep fighting you anymore.
00:57:20Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:57:24Carol, I'm in love with you.
00:57:33I'm so sorry.
00:57:36Look, I know that your heart belongs to someone else.
00:57:41To your past.
00:57:45And I can't share my man with a ghost.
00:57:52And I can't share my man with a ghost.
00:57:55You can't force these things, man.
00:57:59Alright. Get up.
00:58:01My buddy is throwing a huge party.
00:58:03Alright.
00:58:03Let's get wasted.
00:58:05And you'll feel better in the morning.
00:58:07Come on.
00:58:08Let's go.
00:58:09Come on.
00:58:15Oh, Wes!
00:58:18This is George.
00:58:20Alumni of our university.
00:58:21He went to the School of Languages.
00:58:24Oh, you went to the School of Languages?
00:58:26Yeah, man. No, I graduated...
00:58:28God.
00:58:292018?
00:58:31Good times.
00:58:34Why is Carol in the photo?
00:58:37Do you know Carol Nielsen, by chance?
00:58:40She might have been in the class.
00:58:41Nielsen.
00:58:43Nah, man. Definitely not.
00:58:58Why did you lie to me?
00:59:00What are you talking about?
00:59:01School of Languages. That was a lie.
00:59:03I don't know why you're saying that.
00:59:05Then explain this.
00:59:10Who are you, Carol?
00:59:11Really?
00:59:13Okay, I'm...
00:59:14Wes, I'm really sorry.
00:59:15I did lie to you.
00:59:17I just...
00:59:17Why?
00:59:18What are you hiding?
00:59:19Tell me.
00:59:20I can't.
00:59:21And if you must know, then I quit.
00:59:23You can consider this my resignation.
00:59:26No.
00:59:27Don't quit.
00:59:28Just don't ask anymore.
00:59:31Whatever your secrets are,
00:59:32whatever your past is.
00:59:35Whenever you're ready, just tell me.
00:59:37I'll wait.
00:59:38No matter how long it takes.
00:59:40Thanks.
00:59:45See you.
00:59:55See you.
01:00:06Cody, you're here.
01:00:14What are you doing here?
01:00:17I was invited.
01:00:19Oh, right.
01:00:20The help.
01:00:22Perfect. I was actually thirsty,
01:00:24so how about you go get me a drink?
01:00:26Actually, that's not my duty today.
01:00:28I am here as a guest.
01:00:30How dare you talk to me like that?
01:00:33Security!
01:00:34Ready?
01:00:36Remove her.
01:00:41I'd like to see them try.
01:00:46The only one caught on a scene who is at risk of being removed is you, Olivia.
01:00:56Why don't you guys go make some thanksgiving cards, okay?
01:01:10That's the same boy from the hospital.
01:01:12Wes has an almost identical mole on his palm, too.
01:01:15Oh, such beautiful cards.
01:01:19Oh, honey, you actually have a leaf in your hair.
01:01:23Here.
01:01:24Get a patrione test done.
01:01:32I have your results.
01:01:36Oh!
01:01:37It's negative!
01:01:39He's not the father!
01:01:41Seems we were overthinking it.
01:01:43We really need to focus on finding a suitable match for Wesley.
01:01:48So, perhaps...
01:01:50Olivia is still our best bet.
01:01:57Oh, that little brat really is his son.
01:02:00How?
01:02:02Here.
01:02:03Take this.
01:02:05Change it.
01:02:06Make it stay negative.
01:02:14I want to know everything about Carol Nielsen.
01:02:18dig deeper.
01:02:26She's in Wesley's bed.
01:02:43I want to know this.
01:02:47You're the best for the family, this one.
01:02:48You know this union is the best for both of our families.
01:02:51No, mom we've been over this. I'm not marrying her. Why won't you even give it a try?
01:02:57Look because I'm in love with Carol. Okay, that's my final answer.
01:03:02That wretched bitch
01:03:08Lori?
01:03:10Lori Nielsen
01:03:14Quite unexpected. I don't know what you're talking about. You know, I thought it was odd
01:03:21You vanished all those years ago after that accident. Turns out you were just having your face fixed
01:03:27Got that ugly birthmark moved and had your name changed
01:03:35What do you want?
01:03:37Simple

01:03:44Going somewhere
01:03:46Maybe to pick up your son
01:03:50I wouldn't bother. I already did
01:04:08What are you doing? Let him go!
01:04:10What are you doing? Let him go!
01:04:11If you hurt him, I will destroy you!
01:04:14Lori, Lori, Lori
01:04:16Lori
