00:50:11whoa what the hell dude he's pissed that is not the face of a man who's about to get engaged
00:50:18right he
00:50:19He looks like he's here to throw hands, not throw a party.
00:50:22And why is he rolling up with bodyguards and shit?
00:50:24Man, the Thomas family isn't gonna like this.
00:50:26To be honest though, if I were the West Stream CEO,
00:50:29I'd probably be pulling power moves like that too.
00:50:31Oh, come on, let's not get carried away.
00:50:33The guy's a CEO, not a fucking royal prince.
00:50:35Exactly, he needs to slow his roll.
00:50:37This place is filled with people who rake in just as much as he does.
00:50:44So this is how you greet your elders, huh?
00:50:46With a scowl and a squad of bodyguards?
00:50:49Dad, relax. He probably just rushed over, that's all.
00:50:56Roger, what's wrong? Where's your mom?
00:51:15What the fuck are you doing here?!
00:51:19You crusty old hag, this is an exclusive event, not a soup kitchen.
00:51:25Get the hell out!
00:51:29M-Mr. Brown? What was that for?
00:51:32You tell me.
00:51:35Oh, I get it.
00:51:37This granny must have fed you some sob story, right?
00:51:40Sir, trust me. Everything she told you was a lie.
00:51:42But don't worry, Mr. Brown. I'll put an end to this once and for all.
00:51:54Roger, what the hell has gotten into you? It's just like Jimmy said. This lady's a thief, a worthless street
00:52:00rat. So whatever you're doing, just stop. It's an insult to my parents and everyone else here.
00:52:05A thief? A street rat? As VP of Westream, that's your official assessment?
00:52:09Mr. Brown, I can vouch for Vivian. That woman's a thief.
00:52:21Roger, what the fuck is going on?!
00:52:23Say it again, Lisa. Say it to my face. Who's the thief?
00:52:28Mr. Brown? There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
00:52:33Roger, enough. This place is full of VIP guests. It isn't the time for theatrics.
00:52:38Actually, I think it's the perfect time. Hand me the contract.
00:52:43You're fired.
00:52:45No, Mr. Brown! Please don't do this!
00:52:49After what you did to her, you can forget about ever partnering with Westream Corporation.
00:52:54You! You did this! You set me up! You conizing only woman!
00:52:58If I were you, I'd lower your goddamn finger.
00:53:00I didn't set you up. I didn't have to. You did what you did, and now you're facing the consequences.
00:53:05Roger, are you seriously humiliating my cousin over some binong?
00:53:08This cousin of yours brutalized a defenseless old woman, mocked her, dehumanized her, and accused her of theft with zero
00:53:13proof.
00:53:14Tell me, is that the type of person we should be doing business with?
00:53:17Accused her of theft? We all know that bitch stole my bracelet.
00:53:27Wait, this, this bracelet, you bought it?
00:53:31I bought it for the woman standing next to me. My mother.
00:53:39Roger, her? She's your mom? My future mother-in-law?
00:53:46No.
00:53:47Roger, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I had no clue she was your mother.
00:53:51This is the woman who raised me, fed me, tucked me into bed at night, and you have the nerve
00:53:56to suggest I'm just making all this up to humiliate your cousin?
00:53:59No, no!
00:54:02Roger, that's not what I meant!
00:54:07I'm so sorry, Mr. Brown.
00:54:09I didn't know she was your mother. I was wrong.
00:54:11I should have been more discerning.
00:54:13All I ask is that you give me one more chance.
00:54:16Yes, Mr. Brown!
00:54:17We didn't mean any harm.
00:54:19Just please, please don't ruin us over this.
00:54:25Mrs. Brown.
00:54:27I'm sorry.
00:54:29I didn't mean to disrespect you.
00:54:31Please forgive me.
00:54:33No.
00:54:33You're only apologizing because you found out she's my mother.
00:54:37If she were just a stranger, just another woman on the street,
00:54:39would you still begging for forgiveness like this?
00:54:44That's what I thought.
00:54:46Now get the hell out.
00:54:50Vivian!
00:54:51Please!
00:54:52Say something!
00:54:53This contract is everything to me!
00:54:55I promised my boss I would seal the deal if I go back empty-handed.
00:54:59He'll fire me!
00:55:03Leave, Lisa.
00:55:04We'll talk later.
00:55:09Please, Viv.
00:55:11Please don't do this to me.
00:55:13Just go.
00:55:20You two.
00:55:21Out.
00:55:22Y-yes, Miss Thomas.
00:55:24Don't move!
00:55:26You're not just walking out of here after all that you did.
00:55:32Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:34I already regret how I treated you.
00:55:36Please.
00:55:37Please show me some mercy.
00:55:43Take this criminal to the police station along with the surveillance footage from my office.
00:55:48Assaulting an elderly woman should land him a nice long vacation behind bars.
00:55:51Yes, sir.
00:55:54Mr. Brown, please.
00:55:56I screwed up.
00:55:57I swear I'll make it right.
00:55:58Get him out of my sight.
00:55:59Mr. Brown!
00:56:00I'm begging you.
00:56:01Whatever you want, I'll do it.
00:56:02Just please don't send me to jail!
00:56:11Mrs. Brown, I can't tell you how sorry I am.
00:56:14This was supposed to be a happy day, and I know things didn't go as planned, but I hope
00:56:18you won't hold it against me.
00:56:21Lucy, bring over the gift.
00:56:25I picked these out for you as a welcome gift.
00:56:27I hope you find them to your liking.
00:56:31Didn't go as planned?
00:56:33You and your cousin put my mother through a day straight from hell.
00:56:38But things just didn't go as planned?
00:56:41Roger, let it go.
00:56:43It was a misunderstanding.
00:56:45Okay?
00:56:45Look at her.
00:56:45She's dressed up so beautifully tonight.
00:56:47All for you.
00:56:48No, it's not for me.
00:56:48It's just for show.
00:56:49Vivian, you looked down on my mom.
00:56:50You called her a street rat.
00:56:51So what does that make me then?
00:56:52The street rat son that she worked day and night to raise by herself?
00:56:56Roger, please.
00:56:58The guests are all waiting.
00:57:00They didn't come here to see us bigger about personal matters like this.
00:57:04Let's just cut the cake and take photos and then we'll talk after, okay?
00:57:14Bring out the cake.
00:57:21Roger, don't be mad, alright?
00:57:23We can sit down and talk it over after everyone leaves.
00:57:26For now, let's just put on a big smile and enjoy our perfect moment.
00:57:31Actually, you know what would make this moment perfect?
00:57:35Showing the guests here every little thing you did to my mother.
00:57:53That pen isn't just expensive.
00:57:55It's the first gift I ever gave Roger.
00:57:58It's irreplaceable.
00:57:59So you better cough it up now before I go ape shit on your ass.
00:58:02I didn't take it.
00:58:06Oh my god.
00:58:07Is that what it looks like?
00:58:09She's torturing her future mother-in-law?
00:58:11This is so much worse than I thought.
00:58:13She really could have hurt her.
00:58:15Wonder Roger lost it.
00:58:16That was my mom.
00:58:18Whoever did that to her would be in the hospital by now.
00:58:21Roger, please.
00:58:23Turn it off.
00:58:25No one was supposed to see this.
00:58:29So now you feel ashamed, huh?
00:58:32Where was this when you were busy trying to drown my mother?
00:58:35Roger, my parents are watching for God's sake.
00:58:37What are you trying to do?
00:58:39Apologize to my mother right now.
00:58:41What?
00:58:41Babe, of course I'll apologize to her later.
00:58:43But I can't stand back and let you publicly humiliate me like this.
00:58:47You heard what I said.
00:58:48Don't make me repeat it.
00:58:50Mrs. Brown, please.
00:58:52Make him turn it off.
00:58:53You're a kind woman.
00:58:55You understand how bad this looks for me and my family, right?
00:59:00Roger, don't you think this has gone far enough?
00:59:03Vivian and I just got off on the wrong foot.
00:59:05That's all.
00:59:06This is your big nay.
00:59:07Let's forget about it and carry on with the party.
00:59:12Mom, you still want me to get engaged to this woman?
00:59:16Vivian and I just got off on the wrong foot.
00:59:18That's all.
00:59:18This is your big day.
00:59:20Let's forget about it and carry on with the party.
00:59:30Roger!
00:59:31What the hell was that?
00:59:33That's argument cake!
00:59:35Not anymore.
00:59:36The engagement's off.
00:59:38What?
00:59:41Enough!
00:59:41Who the hell are you to damage my daughter's reputation like this?
00:59:46If we played a video of your lowest moment in front of everyone, it would probably look just as bad.
00:59:51This is an unwarranted attack on the entire Thomas family.
00:59:56Exactly.
00:59:57First you broadcast that footage, then you trash the cake.
01:00:01What kind of man treats his own fiance like this?
01:00:04The question you should be asking is,
01:00:06what kind of family raises their daughter to treat innocent people like that?
01:00:11President Thomas, please don't take this to heart.
01:00:14My son's just a little wound up there.
01:00:17Roger, you don't need to throw away your future over what happened with me.
01:00:22Vivian is my future now.
01:00:23She's my past.
01:00:25And that's set in stone.
01:00:26You arrogant bastard!
01:00:28Think you're some big shot, huh?
01:00:30You're just another wannabe tough guy in a suit!
01:00:34Dad, stop!
01:00:36He's the CEO!
01:00:40Who cares? He still answers to us!
01:00:43You think I'd let my daughter work under someone I didn't control?
01:00:49Vivian, Roger didn't make you the VP of Westream.
01:00:53I did.
01:00:55And that's because I'm a shareholder of the company.
01:00:58Your uncles, Daniel and Cooper, they are too.
01:01:01Wait, wait.
01:01:03Dad, you're a Westream shareholder?
01:01:06So I'm, I'm above all this?
01:01:11Roger, this changes everything.
01:01:17That's right, Vivian.
01:01:19We just closed a joint investment.
01:01:22You don't need to be afraid of Roger.
01:01:24He's just another salaried employee.
01:01:26He has no real power over you.
01:01:29Exactly.
01:01:30Roger's a cheap figurehead.
01:01:31He showed some promise at the start, so we overlooked his humble background.
01:01:35But now?
01:01:36Turns out he's an ungrateful, uncivilized scumbag.
01:01:39Don't waste your time with him, Vivian.
01:01:41You can do so much better.
01:01:43Roger's jeopardizing his marriage and his career because of me.
01:01:46No.
01:01:47I can't let this spiral any further.
01:01:50Mrs. Thomas, please.
01:01:52Don't let this little incident ruin their future together.
01:01:55Roger and Vivian, they're in love with each other.
01:01:58In love?
01:01:59Don't be ridiculous.
01:02:01I'm a shareholder's daughter.
01:02:03Which means a janitor's son like Roger has no business standing anywhere near me.
01:02:07This relationship never should have happened in the first place.
01:02:11My daughter's brilliant and beautiful.
01:02:13Only someone like that mysterious West Dream owner would be worthy her.
01:02:20You know, that's a good point.
01:02:22I've heard our mystery owner is a real heartthrog.
01:02:26Vivian, I'll make sure to introduce you to him when the time's right.
01:02:31Thanks, Uncle Daniel.
01:02:32I'd like that.
01:02:40It's...
01:02:40It's funny, I thought I said it pretty clearly the first time.
01:02:44Apologize to my mother right now.
01:02:47Did you not hear what my dad just said?
01:02:49He's a West Dream shareholder and you're just some piss poor beggar trying to fake it as a businessman.
01:02:54Want me to apologize to your crusty mom over my dead fucking body?
01:02:58And just why should I be so scared of your shareholder dad?
01:03:03Watch it, Roger.
01:03:04Don't make him put you in your place.
01:03:07Right, my place.
01:03:09I suppose it's the perfect time to show you all what that place is.
01:03:25Dad, fire this arrogant prank now!
01:03:29Roger, I'm sick and tired of you disrespecting me in front of my guests.
01:03:33This is your last shot.
01:03:35Give us a public apology or you can pack your damn things and get the hell out of West Dream.
01:03:39Oh, Roger, this is all my fault.
01:03:42Please.
01:03:43I don't want you to lose your job because of me.
01:03:47Mom, nothing is your fault.
01:03:50And don't worry, they don't have the authority to fire me.
01:03:53We don't, do we?
01:03:55This kid really thinks he's untouchable.
01:03:58Between Daniel, Cooper and I, we own over 30% of West Dream.
01:04:02Removing a placeholder CEO like him barely even calls for a meeting.
01:04:06True that.
01:04:07Roger's just some hot-headed chump in a nice suit.
01:04:11Still has no idea how the game works.
01:04:13If you know what's good for you, you'll hurry up and apologize.
01:04:17I'll apologize, I'll do it!
01:04:21No, Mom.
01:04:22You, you raised me, you've already done more than enough.
01:04:26You don't owe a thing to me or to these goons.
01:04:29But, Roger, these people, they hold your future in the palm of their hands.
01:04:35I just thought I might be able to help.
01:04:38I couldn't care less about who these people are.
01:04:41They mean nothing to me.
01:04:42Alright, then I won't do it for you.
01:04:44I'll apologize on my own behalf.
01:04:52Mr. Thomas, I'm truly sorry for what transpired today.
01:04:57Please don't punish Roger for my mistakes.
01:04:59He can be stubborn sometimes, but he's a good man.
01:05:02A hard worker.
01:05:06God, Roger, I can see why Vivian thought your mother was a thief.
01:05:10She looks like she crawled out of a fucking dumpster.
01:05:13Not to mention, she absolutely reeks.
01:05:16How could anyone not assume she's just some bottom feeder?
01:05:21What did you just say?
01:05:26Did I stutter?
01:05:28Don't tell me you've never noticed that your own mother looks like a grimy, street-side bum.
01:05:44Mom.
01:05:46Stop pouring drinks for these ignorant fools.
01:05:48They don't deserve a shred of our respect.
01:05:55What's your tone, Roger?
01:05:56Who the hell are you calling ignorant?
01:05:58You, that's who.
01:05:59A man so obsessed with flaunting his class that he doesn't realize how classless he really is.
01:06:04Goddamn you, Roger!
01:06:05That's my father you're talking to!
01:06:07I'm well aware.
01:06:09Keep pushing me and next time I'll use my fists instead of words.
01:06:14No!
01:06:17No!
01:06:20No!
01:06:24Roger, sweetheart.
01:06:26You've worked too hard to throw it all away now.
01:06:30Don't let your temper get the best of you, okay?
01:06:32Just be the bigger person and apologize.
01:06:35Too late for that now.
01:06:39I'm contacting Emily.
01:06:40She'll call the board, and Roger will be out as CEO by nightfall.
01:06:44You have my full support.
01:06:45This is exactly the kind of hot-headed nonsense we warned the board about.
01:06:49He's done.
01:06:51Let him see what it feels like to wake up unemployed.
01:06:54Maybe then he'll learn to show some humility.
01:06:59Messaging Emily now.
01:07:01This asshole won't be talking shit anymore when he's out on the streets.
01:07:10Mr. Thomas, please, don't make any decisions you'll regret.
01:07:14I'll apologize for Roger.
01:07:16Just please let him keep his job.
01:07:19Roger, baby.
01:07:21Just swallow your pride and say sorry.
01:07:23You'll be glad you did.
01:07:25Mom, trust me.
01:07:26I'm going to be just fine.
01:07:28This is all my fault.
01:07:30If I hadn't come today, none of this would have happened.
01:07:34No, Mom.
01:07:35I should thank you.
01:07:38You helped me see the Thomases for who they really are.
01:07:41You'll be jobless in ten minutes, Roger.
01:07:44Maybe start updating your resume instead of playing Mr. Tough Guy.
01:07:58Just heard back from Emily.
01:08:03She's arranged for Westream's mystery owner to come here and settle this in person.
01:08:12Once this punk's gone, we'll nominate Vivian as the new CEO.
01:08:16You better believe it.
01:08:17Vivian's young, capable, driven.
01:08:20I guarantee she'll take us to the next level.
01:08:27All of you.
01:08:28And I won't let you down.
01:08:30I'm going to be the best CEO Westream has ever had.
01:08:46Oh, look at him.
01:08:47Still pretending like he has a job.
01:08:49Once my daughter's CEO, she'll clean house.
01:08:51That means everyone who might even think of vouching for Roger is getting sacked.
01:08:55If I were you, I'd be begging Vivian to show a little mercy.
01:08:58Who knows?
01:08:59It might save you from starving.
01:09:00Oh, that must be how you guys became shareholders.
01:09:02By graveling and begging for mercy like spinless cowards.
01:09:05Time's up, Roger.
01:09:06No more running your mouth.
01:09:07You have two options.
01:09:08Publicly apologize to my father or wait for the board members to fucking obliterate you.
01:09:11Please, Vivian.
01:09:12Think about how much you cared for Roger just yesterday.
01:09:14It's not worth ending his career over a fight.
01:09:16If an apology is what you want, then let me do it.
01:09:18I'll get on stage and scream it in front of all the guests if that's what it takes.
01:09:22Well, well.
01:09:23Let's see how sincere she really is.
01:09:28No, Mom.
01:09:29No.
01:09:30They're the ones who should be doing this, not you.
01:09:32You motherfucker.
01:09:34Sacking you isn't enough.
01:09:35We ought to beat you black and blue.
01:09:48Mrs. Anderson.
01:09:50Why are you alone?
01:09:51I thought you were bringing the chairman.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:54Where is he?
01:09:55Should I go pick him up myself?
01:09:56That won't be necessary.
01:09:58He's already nearby.
01:10:00Thought you were bringing the chairman.
01:10:03Roger, you have to stop being so impulsive.
01:10:07Your future matters more than my dignity.
01:10:09You're wrong, Mom.
01:10:10Nothing matters more than your dignity.
01:10:12Nothing.
01:10:13And plus, I'd be more worried about their future than mine.
01:10:18Don't get too cocky, kid.
01:10:20The whole board's already signed off on your removal.
01:10:23You'll be drowning in your own tears before you know it.
01:10:26Mr. Thomas, the chairman clearly doesn't have much patience for your rambling.
01:10:31Why don't you just cut to the chase?
01:10:38Great.
01:10:39Then let's make it official.
01:10:41Mrs. Anderson, please promptly inform the board that we, the shareholder present in the room,
01:10:46have agreed to remove Roger Brown as CEO of Westream.
01:10:50Vivian Thomas will be appointed in his place.
01:10:53That's right.
01:10:54The vote is unanimous.
01:11:01There's no need to pass this on to the board.
01:11:03The chairman rejects your decision.
01:11:05Excuse me?
01:11:07Emily, the chairman's not even here.
01:11:09How the hell would you know what he thinks about it?
01:11:12Would you like to confirm it yourself, Mr. Chairman?
01:11:19What do you mean, Mr. Chairman?
01:11:24You still don't get it?
01:11:28It's me.
01:11:29I'm the chairman.
01:11:37This is hilarious.
01:11:38Roger can't even tell the difference between a CEO and an owner.
01:11:42Is anyone going to break the news to him?
01:11:44Kid's delusional.
01:11:45Must have hit his head or something.
01:11:47Roger, I get it.
01:11:48We backed you into a corner and now you're scared.
01:11:51But this?
01:11:53Really?
01:11:54Did you forget that Emily's met the real boss?
01:11:57You can't just lie to her face and get away with it.
01:12:01Mr. Brown isn't lying.
01:12:04He's the owner of Westream.
01:12:11Three years ago, Mr. Brown acquired over 60% of Westream's shares as a private investor.
01:12:17To avoid scrutiny, he chose to remain anonymous and face the public as company's CEO.
01:12:23Sweet mother of God, he really is the owner.
01:12:27It's all over.
01:12:28No, no, this is fake.
01:12:30This has to be fake.
01:12:31He paid you off, didn't he?
01:12:32You're covering for him.
01:12:34Don't think I won't call the police and have you arrested for fraud.
01:12:37Please, call them and have them look into it.
01:12:40That'll only confirm Mr. Brown's identity faster.
01:12:57Now remind me, what was this board meeting supposed to be about?
01:13:06What a silly misunderstanding this all was, Mr. Brown.
01:13:10No hard feelings, right?
01:13:11Why don't we carry on with the engagement party?
01:13:14Your lovely mother came all this way for your special day.
01:13:17We wouldn't want to disappoint her.
01:13:19You can go fuck yourself.
01:13:22Roger, you little...
01:13:23Vivian, watch your mouth.
01:13:25That's your boss you're talking to.
01:13:27Shit.
01:13:28Okay, he's really the boss.
01:13:30I have to shift the game plan to saving my career.
01:13:33The good thing is, Roger and I have real feelings for each other.
01:13:37Maybe Mom's right.
01:13:38If I apologize fast enough, I can still salvage this.
01:13:41Please, please don't call off our engagement.
01:13:43Please don't call off our engagement.
01:13:45I'll be good to your mom.
01:13:46I'll take care of her like she's my own.
01:13:51Never seen anyone switch sides that fast.
01:13:55Impressive.
01:13:57Too bad it doesn't matter.
01:13:59Mrs. Brown!
01:14:01Please talk to him!
01:14:03Don't let him throw away what we had!
01:14:06I'll never love anyone but him!
01:14:10Then tell me this.
01:14:12Do you really want to marry my son?
01:14:15Or do you want to marry the man who owns 60% of this company?
01:14:24If you're going to beg my mom, at least make it convincing.
01:14:35Mrs. Brown, I'm so...
01:14:41Stop embarrassing yourself, Vivian.
01:14:44Just looking at you makes my skin crawl.
01:14:47Roger, please.
01:14:48Let's just pretend this never happened.
01:14:50I didn't want you to get fired.
01:14:52It was all my dad!
01:14:54Ah, yes.
01:14:54Your dad.
01:14:57You must be very proud of the monster you raised, Sam.
01:15:01Vivian Thomas,
01:15:03you're fired.
01:15:04And you can forget about ever working at Westream again.
01:15:07No!
01:15:08Roger, please, no!
01:15:10Dad, do something!
01:15:12I gave everything to this company!
01:15:14I can't go down like this!
01:15:16Mr. Brown,
01:15:17I realize you're the majority owner,
01:15:19but I'm still a shareholder.
01:15:20You and I, we should be working together.
01:15:24And, sir,
01:15:26you can't just dismiss High's high-level employees
01:15:28without consulting me first.
01:15:29It's reckless.
01:15:30You think you still have a say in this company?
01:15:32I can snatch away your measly little share
01:15:34with the flick of a wrist.
01:15:36Cool it, buddy.
01:15:38We're not gonna hand over our shares
01:15:39just because you ask.
01:15:42Whoa, whoa, Sam,
01:15:43don't drag me into this, man.
01:15:44If push comes to shove,
01:15:45I'm siding with Mr. Brown.
01:15:47Yeah!
01:15:48You're the one who started all this!
01:15:50Mr. Brown, I'm sorry.
01:15:51I was misled.
01:15:52I let my judgment slip.
01:15:54It won't happen again.
01:15:58You filthy, rotten bastard!
01:16:02You two want a second chance?
01:16:04Fine.
01:16:08But your daughter abused my mother,
01:16:10and that means your whole family's going to pay.
01:16:17Just say the word, Mr. Brown.
01:16:21Sam sure runs his mouth a lot
01:16:22for a guy who has nothing worth saying.
01:16:24Let's see if he keeps jabbering
01:16:26after he gets a few teeth knocked out.
01:16:30Yes, sir.
01:16:43Either you help him out,
01:16:45or you're next in line.
01:16:49Mr. Brown, please tell them to stop!
01:16:52They're going to kill my husband!
01:16:57Funny.
01:16:58Your daughter didn't seem too worried
01:17:00about killing my mom
01:17:01when she was dunking her head underwater.
01:17:07Mr. Brown, I'm begging you.
01:17:10That's the father of the woman you once loved.
01:17:14Please spare him.
01:17:17He's also the father of the woman
01:17:18who nearly murdered my mother.
01:17:20I guess that didn't occur to you.
01:17:22Fine.
01:17:23I admit it.
01:17:25I'll fess up to everything I did.
01:17:27I'll tell everyone.
01:17:30That's the first real thing you've said all day.
01:17:36All right, then.
01:17:37Start talking.
01:17:38I...
01:17:39I accused her of stealing.
01:17:42I dunked her head into a bucket of water.
01:17:47I nearly killed her.
01:18:00No, I'm not as cruel as you.
01:18:01Do it yourself.
01:18:11Roger, that's enough.
01:18:13Let them go.
01:18:18No, I'm not stopping.
01:18:20Until they suffer just as much
01:18:22as you did.
01:18:23Look,
01:18:24I know you want to protect me,
01:18:26but if you keep fighting hate with hate,
01:18:28you're no better than they are.
01:18:30You've already made things right.
01:18:32Now, let's take the high road
01:18:34and walk away from this.
01:18:39Enough!
01:18:51You can go.
01:18:52You're lucky my mother has such a kind heart.
01:18:55Thank you, Mrs. Brown.
01:18:57Thank you, Mrs. Brown.
01:19:14Mom.
01:19:17I'm sorry.
01:19:20I was so busy chasing Seth
01:19:22that I went missing when you needed me most.
01:19:26But I promise,
01:19:28from now on,
01:19:29I'll make time.
01:19:30I'll be more present.
01:19:32You'll never have to deal with things
01:19:33on your own again.
01:19:42You've always made me proud, Roger.
01:19:45I don't blame you for any of this.
01:19:49Come on.
01:19:50Let's go home.
01:19:52Let's go home.
