00:00:02Roger, I've secured you a spot in this math competition.
00:00:05With your talent, I'm sure you'll win.
00:00:07Just have your mom pay the $400 registration fee by the deadline.
00:00:20Have some breakfast before school, honey.
00:00:22Mom, where's yours?
00:00:24I already ate earlier, sweetheart.
00:00:44I'm heading to school. Love you, Mom.
00:00:47Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:01:13Linda, please. I just need $400. I'll pay you back next month. I swear.
00:01:19Jesus, Susan. You've got some nerve.
00:01:22Didn't I already tell you not to come begging at my door again?
00:01:25Yeah, Roger's my nephew. But I ain't your personal ATM.
00:01:29Roger's smart, Linda. Really smart.
00:01:31I just... I don't want him growing up with regrets.
00:01:36I got no money. Now get lost!
00:01:39You're pathetic.
00:01:41Got me looking so crazy right now. Your love's got me looking so crazy right now.
00:01:49Got me looking so crazy right now.
00:01:53This is ridiculous.
00:01:54I asked for two guys, not one. I've got customers waiting.
00:02:01Sir, if you're paying, I can do the work.
00:02:05You? This isn't like work. Even men struggle with these crates.
00:02:09I'm stronger than I look. Let me prove it.
00:02:12I'm stronger than I do.
00:02:45I'm stronger than I do. I'm stronger than I do. I'm stronger than I do.
00:02:56Mom! I'm home!
00:03:02Hey, baby. Come here. I got a surprise for you.
00:03:12Where'd you get the money?
00:03:14I got lucky.
00:03:14Big tips at the restaurant today.
00:03:16Mom, your shoulder.
00:03:17You're lying.
00:03:19It's just a little scrape.
00:03:21I'm fine, baby.
00:03:22Really.
00:03:23Now be a good boy.
00:03:24Take the money and go sign up tomorrow, yeah?
00:03:27I swear, Mom.
00:03:29I'm going to make so much money one day.
00:03:31You'll never have to work like this again.
00:03:37I know you will, baby.
00:03:39I know you will.
00:03:40What's the first thing you do once you are the richest person in the world?
00:03:45I want to see Mom.
00:03:56Yo, check this out.
00:03:59Susan's boy, Roger, is on the news.
00:04:01West Dream Corporation just broke the trillion-dollar mark.
00:04:06Young CEO Roger Brown is being hailed as the face of the future.
00:04:10But the real brain behind WD's empire remains a mystery.
00:04:15Roger's really killing it out there.
00:04:16Just a few years out of school and he's already running a major company.
00:04:19Right?
00:04:20Kid came from this little town and shot straight to the top.
00:04:22It's insane.
00:04:24Susan, you raised that boy all on your own after his father passed.
00:04:27That takes real strength.
00:04:28Now it's your turn to relax and enjoy the good life.
00:04:30I couldn't have done it without you guys.
00:04:32If you hadn't helped cover his tuition back then, Roger might have never made it to where
00:04:36he is now.
00:04:37Don't mention it.
00:04:38We've been grinding together for decades.
00:04:40You needed help?
00:04:41We showed up.
00:04:41That's what family's for.
00:04:42And Roger?
00:04:43He didn't waste it.
00:04:44He sure didn't.
00:04:45And I heard he's flying Susan out for his engagement party.
00:04:48An engagement party?
00:04:50That's amazing.
00:04:50I've dreamed about this for so long.
00:04:53It feels like I can finally look his daddy in the eye and say, we did it.
00:04:58Go and represent all of us and take our love with you.
00:05:01And don't forget to pack Roger's favorite hot sauce.
00:05:10Hey baby, can you believe it?
00:05:14Our boys getting engaged, you'd be so proud.
00:05:20You gave me this on our wedding day.
00:05:23It's my most precious thing.
00:05:24But I want to pass it on to Roger's girl.
00:05:27A blessing from both of us.
00:05:37Roger, sorry sweetheart.
00:05:39I should have listened to you.
00:05:41And have your car pick me up.
00:05:43Now I'm lost.
00:05:44It's okay mom.
00:05:45Don't worry.
00:05:47Just find a coffee shop and hang tight.
00:05:49I'm on my way.
00:05:49And hey, Vivian can't wait to meet you.
00:05:52I can't wait to meet her too.
00:05:58Hang tight.
00:05:59I'll be there in no time.
00:06:01Okay, sweetheart.
00:06:07Congrats, boss.
00:06:08Land Westream and your golden.
00:06:10Big raise, big win.
00:06:12Please.
00:06:12My cousin's dating Roger freaking Brown.
00:06:16CEO of Westream?
00:06:17This deal's already sealed.
00:06:25This is a high-end cafe, not a homeless shelter.
00:06:28What is she even doing here?
00:06:31I thought this street had a no homeless policy.
00:06:34Move it, hobo.
00:06:35You're stinking up the whole shop.
00:06:43I'm not homeless.
00:06:44I'm just here waiting for my son.
00:06:46Then go sit in the bathroom.
00:06:51What, you need subtitles?
00:06:53I said, move.
00:06:55I'm really not trying to cause trouble.
00:06:57There just aren't any other seats.
00:07:00People are literally losing their appetite.
00:07:02You should be grateful no one's tossed you out yet.
00:07:04You stink.
00:07:05All right, that's enough.
00:07:06This is a public place.
00:07:07She has every right to sit here.
00:07:08You don't get to treat people like that.
00:07:10Yeah.
00:07:10And we don't smell anything.
00:07:11She's fine.
00:07:12Oh, please.
00:07:13If you're feeling so generous, why don't you let her sit with you?
00:07:16I'm sure she'd love that.
00:07:17Look at her.
00:07:18Dragging around that filthy bag of who knows what.
00:07:20Wow.
00:07:21You look put together on the outside, but damn, what a rotten soul.
00:07:25Who the hell are you calling rotten?
00:07:26I'm just looking out for everyone.
00:07:28Nobody wants to sip a $20 latte with a side of dumpster fumes.
00:07:31It's fine.
00:07:32I'll go.
00:07:36Oh, my God, you old hag.
00:07:38Did you see what you did?
00:07:39I'm so sorry.
00:07:41Get your filthy hands off me.
00:07:44I'm so sorry.
00:07:48Stop right there, you thieving bitch.
00:07:55Thief!
00:07:55Somebody get security.
00:07:57This old lady just stole my bracelet.
00:08:00No, no.
00:08:01You've got it all wrong.
00:08:02I didn't steal anything.
00:08:06Then what's that, huh?
00:08:07You're caught red-handed and still spewing lies?
00:08:09This is mine, I swear.
00:08:11You can't just accuse me like this.
00:08:14Please.
00:08:15That bracelet's custom-made, limited edition.
00:08:18No offense, but she doesn't exactly scream luxury.
00:08:20Looks like a straight-up grab-and-go.
00:08:22You need a private invite just to see it, let alone buy it.
00:08:25And you look like you crawled in from the alley.
00:08:27No way in hell it's yours.
00:08:28Exactly.
00:08:29Even if you saved every dime your whole life, you still wouldn't afford that.
00:08:33Wow.
00:08:34And I actually felt sorry for her.
00:08:36I knew something was off.
00:08:37Bet she scoped out this place because she knew it's full of rich guys.
00:08:40Please don't say that.
00:08:41I didn't steal anything.
00:08:42I swear.
00:08:46Still lying?
00:08:47No.
00:08:48This is mine.
00:08:50My son gave it to me.
00:08:52Your son?
00:08:53What, did he rob a jewelry store?
00:08:55You're a hobo.
00:08:56Your son is probably a street criminal.
00:08:58Either way, that bracelet does not belong to you.
00:09:00Exactly.
00:09:01Probably raised a whole nest of pickpockets at home.
00:09:04Last chance, old hack.
00:09:06Admit it's mine or I'm calling the cops.
00:09:11No!
00:09:12You can't take what's mine!
00:09:15Still yapping?
00:09:16Stay down, you filthy hag!
00:09:23So that's it?
00:09:24Everyone just assumes I stole it?
00:09:26Did anyone actually see me take anything?
00:09:28Or is it just because I'm not walking around in designer heels and cacked in makeup?
00:09:33Since when does being poor make someone a criminal?
00:09:36You want proof?
00:09:37Cool.
00:09:37Let's do proof.
00:09:38Here.
00:09:39Take a good look.
00:09:40Official receipt from the boutique.
00:09:42Picture, serial number, date, price.
00:09:44Right there in black and white.
00:09:46You got yours, Grandma?
00:09:48I do!
00:09:49My son bought it.
00:09:50He has the receipt.
00:09:51I'll call him right now!
00:09:53No.
00:09:54No.
00:09:55It's dead.
00:09:56My phone's dead.
00:09:58This is getting sad.
00:09:59Just call the cops already.
00:10:00She's probably done this before.
00:10:02Good idea!
00:10:03And while we're at it, everyone, check your stuff!
00:10:05You think she only swiped from me?
00:10:07She's probably been picking pockets all morning.
00:10:08Who knows what's in that bag of hers?
00:10:14No!
00:10:15I'm just here to see my son.
00:10:18Aw, that's adorable.
00:10:20You missed your calling.
00:10:21You should be in Hollywood.
00:10:23You got a story for everything.
00:10:25Ah!
00:10:26Oh!
00:10:28That's for my son.
00:10:30It's his favorite.
00:10:31Why are you doing this?
00:10:33Well, that explains the smell.
00:10:35Jesus!
00:10:37Ugh.
00:10:38Who the hell eats that kind of junk?
00:10:43It kind of looks like she was just bringing stuff for her kid.
00:10:46I mean, if she came to steal, would she really be lugging around jars of hot sauce?
00:10:52Kind of doesn't add up, yeah?
00:10:54Yeah.
00:11:02Well, well, well.
00:11:04Well, well, well.
00:11:04What do we have here?
00:11:10No, please!
00:11:12Don't touch that!
00:11:18Oh, would you look at that?
00:11:20Still want to play innocent, you lying old hag?
00:11:23That's...
00:11:24That's...
00:11:24That's my wedding necklace.
00:11:26My husband gave it to me before he passed.
00:11:29Please, just give it back.
00:11:30Give me a break.
00:11:31That's the best you've got?
00:11:32A dead husband fairy tale?
00:11:34Try harder.
00:11:35First it's your son buying you designer bracelets.
00:11:37Now it's your dead husband dropping pearls from heaven?
00:11:39Lady, come on.
00:11:40You ain't fooling anybody.
00:11:41You're not some high society queen.
00:11:42You're just trash who can't even look in a mirror.
00:11:45Shit, who keeps something that valuable next to jars of hot sauce?
00:11:48She's a total scam artist.
00:11:50No wonder your husband croaked.
00:11:52God probably got sick of your lying, thieving ass.
00:11:55Better kid's a con, too.
00:11:58Gotta be real proud with a mom like that.
00:12:00I'm not a thief.
00:12:02The necklace, it's not stolen.
00:12:05The biggest pearl, it's engraved with my initial.
00:12:16Please, give it back.
00:12:18It's all I have left of him.
00:12:20So what?
00:12:21It's just an S.
00:12:22Could stand for anything.
00:12:24Sarah, Sophia, slut.
00:12:26Yeah, nice try.
00:12:28Anyone could memorize that detail after stealing it.
00:12:30You know what?
00:12:31Even if it is yours, I'm not giving it back.
00:12:35Ever.
00:12:37No!
00:12:38Give it back!
00:12:50Oh my god.
00:12:51The contract.
00:12:53Boss, that's the big one.
00:12:54It's ruined!
00:13:05You fucking bitch!
00:13:11Do you have any idea what you just destroyed?
00:13:14That deal's worth more than your whole fucking life.
00:13:18Get up!
00:13:20I didn't mean to.
00:13:23You shoved me.
00:13:25I said get up!
00:13:29Or I swear to god, I'll lose it.
00:13:32No!
00:13:34Please!
00:13:35Do it.
00:13:36After what she ruined, this is the least she deserves.
00:14:00We're sorry.
00:14:01The number you have dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:14:07I can't reach my mom.
00:14:08Split up.
00:14:09She's nearby.
00:14:10Right away, boss.
00:14:13I can feel it.
00:14:19Please.
00:14:22Just give me back the necklace.
00:14:23I swear I'm not a thief.
00:14:26Aw, sweetie.
00:14:27You're not in a place to be asking for favors.
00:14:31Hand over the bracelet first.
00:14:34No.
00:14:36Please.
00:14:37Can I have my necklace back?
00:14:45No!
00:14:54That's what you get for stealing, you nasty old bitch.
00:15:06Look at her, like some stray digging through trash.
00:15:10Next time, keep your filthy hands to yourself.
00:15:13You're lucky.
00:15:14We've got bigger fish to fry.
00:15:15We're heading to WD to seal a major deal.
00:15:18Otherwise, you'd be leaving in an ambulance.
00:15:23Wait, did you say WD?
00:15:25You're going to Westream?
00:15:26You know Roger Brown?
00:15:29Wow.
00:15:31A filthy thief like you knows WD?
00:15:33And can even name their CEO?
00:15:35What are you, his laptop?
00:15:38Roger.
00:15:39Roger Brown's my son.
00:15:42I'm going with you to the office.
00:15:44My son will clear this out.
00:15:46That bracelet's mine.
00:15:48And I'm not going anywhere until my name's cleared.
00:15:53Vivian did say Mr. Brown's mom was flying in for the engagement.
00:15:57Could it really be her?
00:15:59You lying psycho.
00:16:02Now you're pretending to be the CEO's mom?
00:16:06Wait!
00:16:10Boss, seriously?
00:16:12You're not buying this, right?
00:16:14There's no way in hell Mr. Brown came from that.
00:16:17He runs a trillion dollar empire.
00:16:20You really think that mess is his mom?
00:16:23Some crusty thief off the street?
00:16:26Roger really is my son.
00:16:27We can go to 2WD right now.
00:16:30He'll tell you himself.
00:16:32Or just call him.
00:16:34He was supposed to pick me up.
00:16:38Roger Brown's on every magazine, every headline.
00:16:41She probably saw him on a damn billboard.
00:16:42She's bluffing.
00:16:43Trying to hustle me.
00:16:49Stealing wasn't enough?
00:16:50Now you're trying to pretend you're the CEO's mom?
00:16:53What kind of psycho-fantasy is that?
00:16:59Some trash like you ought to know your place.
00:17:12Mom.
00:17:16Roger.
00:17:20Oh my god.
00:17:22It's him.
00:17:23That's really Roger Brown.
00:17:25And she...
00:17:26She's really his mom.
00:17:31Mom.
00:17:32What happened?
00:17:34Who did this to you?
00:17:45No, I can't let him know.
00:17:48If Roger finds out, he'll lose it.
00:17:50And tonight's his engagement party.
00:17:52I won't let him ruin something so important over me.
00:17:58I'm fine, honey.
00:17:59It's nothing.
00:18:01Someone in here messed with my mom.
00:18:03Who was it?
00:18:06Mom, tell me.
00:18:07You don't have to be scared.
00:18:09Just say the word and I'll make them pay.
00:18:11It's nothing.
00:18:12I slipped, that's all.
00:18:13The necklace, it broke.
00:18:14And the hot sauce I brought you.
00:18:17I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:18:19Mom!
00:18:20I'm okay.
00:18:22Just...
00:18:22Tired.
00:18:24Can we go home?
00:18:25No.
00:18:44Wait.
00:18:45Boss.
00:18:46That old girl she's getting into a Rolls Royce?
00:18:50You're seeing things.
00:18:52There's no way.
00:18:52A trash like her probably couldn't spell Rolls Royce.
00:19:03Let's go.
00:19:04We're on the clock.
00:19:07We're on the clock.
00:19:17Mom, I've got an important meeting in a bit.
00:19:20Why don't you head up to my office and rest for a bit?
00:19:22Don't worry about me, sweetheart.
00:19:24Go do your thing.
00:19:25I'll be fine.
00:19:33I'll be fine.
00:20:01I'll be fine.
00:20:01Hello.
00:20:02You must be Miss Lisa?
00:20:06That's me.
00:20:08And you are?
00:20:09Name's Jimmy Davis, Assistant Director of Sales here at WD, and I've been dying to meet you.
00:20:14Sounds like someone did their homework, dug up my family ties, too.
00:20:16Well, Assistant Director, technically.
00:20:18But hey, if this deal goes well, who knows?
00:20:20Maybe I finally get that corner office with a little help from someone as well-connected as you.
00:20:24Let's just say I like to know who I'm working with.
00:20:26Come on.
00:20:27Mr. Brown's expecting you.
00:20:54Damn, missed it.
00:20:55We'll just catch the next one.
00:20:56Wouldn't have missed it if that old hag hadn't slowed us down.
00:20:59Bet that contract would be signed by now, too.
00:21:03Ugh.
00:21:04This whole day's cursed.
00:21:05Old hag?
00:21:06What happened?
00:21:07Oh, we just ran into some filthy beaner at the coffee shop.
00:21:10Smelled like she hadn't showered in months.
00:21:13The old rat even had the nerve to steal my bracelet, but luckily I caught her.
00:21:18These bottom feeders really think the world owes them something, always stealing shit right
00:21:22and left.
00:21:23We fired a janitor just yesterday.
00:21:25Caught her trying to make off with a company laptop.
00:21:29What this country needs is a real cleanup.
00:21:33Someone should be sending these low-class leeches as far away as possible.
00:21:38All they're good for is dragging down society and driving up crime rates.
00:21:43Right?
00:21:44I feel gross just breathing the same air as them.
00:21:49All right, enough talk about those riffraff.
00:21:52Let's go close this deal.
00:22:03Mr. Brown, the meeting's about to start.
00:22:05Right.
00:22:06On my way.
00:22:09Just hang out here and relax, okay?
00:22:10I'll be back right after this meeting.
00:22:12Do what you need to do, sweetheart.
00:22:14Don't worry about me.
00:22:15By the way, where's Vivian?
00:22:18I thought I'd get to meet her today.
00:22:19Oh, she's drowning in last-minute prep for the engagement party.
00:22:22And she's got a meeting later, too.
00:22:24But as soon as we're both free, I'm bringing her up to meet you.
00:22:26Well, you two workaholics really are made for each other.
00:22:29Go on, then.
00:22:32My boy.
00:22:33Even on his engagement day, he's still working his tail off.
00:22:37And he found himself a fiancé who's just like him.
00:22:40I just know they'll build a beautiful life together.
00:22:55Mr. Brown, your guests have arrived.
00:22:59Good morning, Mr. Brown.
00:23:01I'm Lisa Smith, sales manager at 3CF.
00:23:05Move it, hobo.
00:23:06You're syncing up the whole shop.
00:23:09Cease!
00:23:10Somebody get security!
00:23:12This old lady just stole my bracelet!
00:23:14I'm so sorry we're late, Mr. Brown.
00:23:17I hope we haven't upset you.
00:23:18Yes, sir, we...
00:23:23You two!
00:23:24This is Roger Brown's office.
00:23:26That's his chair.
00:23:28And she...
00:23:28She's sitting in it.
00:23:30Oh, God.
00:23:30Is she really his mother?
00:23:32I'm dead!
00:23:33I'm sorry.
00:23:33I didn't know.
00:23:34I had no idea you were telling the truth!
00:23:37Boss, why are you apologizing to her?
00:23:39She's just some filthy thief.
00:23:41Shh!
00:23:42That's Mr. Brown's mother, you idiot!
00:23:43How else would she be sitting in his office?
00:23:48Oh, my God.
00:23:50She wasn't lying.
00:23:55I'm sorry.
00:23:56I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:24:03Ma'am, it was all just a misunderstanding, really.
00:24:06This deal with WD, it means everything to me.
00:24:10I'll make it up to you however you want.
00:24:12Just please don't let this affect the contract.
00:24:15Yes, absolutely.
00:24:17We're very sorry for how we behaved earlier.
00:24:19There, it's fine.
00:24:21If you're working with Raj's partners, and I know he sees his partners as friends, I won't
00:24:27say anything to him.
00:24:28Oh, that's wonderful.
00:24:30Thank you, ma'am.
00:24:32Pardon me, Ms. Smith, but I think you've got the wrong person.
00:24:35This woman here isn't the CEO's mother.
00:24:37Mr. Brown's mom got lost on her way over.
00:24:39She's not even here yet.
00:24:40What?
00:24:41Really?
00:24:42Yes, and plus, just look at this broke, wrinkled woman.
00:24:47What a sorry sight.
00:24:49Roger Brown would never let his mother walk in here looking like a damn stray dog.
00:24:54That's right.
00:24:55Roger's mom is here to attend his engagement party.
00:24:58Sure, maybe she'd prefer to stay low-key, but there's no way she'd show up looking like
00:25:02some soggy gutter rat.
00:25:04Unbelievable.
00:25:05What's your deal?
00:25:06You crusty old leech.
00:25:08You stalking us now or something?
00:25:10Mr. Davis, this is her, that filthy thief who stole my bracelet at the cafe, and now
00:25:16she's snuck into the Westream headquarters.
00:25:19What?
00:25:22Nasty old bitch.
00:25:24Mrs. Smith here is the cousin of Westream's VP.
00:25:28You really thought you could mess with her and get away with it?
00:25:30Someone ought to put you in your place.
00:25:32I didn't steal anything, sir, and I really am Roger's mother.
00:25:39They're putting up a front, huh?
00:25:41You think you can just strut in here and slap a fake name on yourself?
00:25:44Who the hell are you anyways?
00:25:46Trash like you never should have gotten past security.
00:25:49No, no, no, no, please.
00:25:55See?
00:25:57Roger brought me here.
00:25:58I'm his mother, I swear.
00:26:01Again with the lies?
00:26:03I've never seen such a shameless bullshitter in my life.
00:26:07Answer me!
00:26:08What the fuck are you doing in Mr. Brown's office?
00:26:13I'm telling the truth.
00:26:15I didn't do anything wrong.
00:26:17Oh, I know.
00:26:18She's here to steal.
00:26:20What else would a serial thief be doing in the CEO's office?
00:26:23Oh, exactly.
00:26:25She's just in here snooping around for his valuables.
00:26:28No, no, I'm not.
00:26:30I was just resting here while Roger's in a meeting.
00:26:34Wait, now I remember.
00:26:35You're the janitor we fired yesterday for stealing that laptop, aren't you?
00:26:39You're mad you got sacked, so now you're back to rob us blind!
00:26:42Don't go easy on her, Mr. Davis.
00:26:44Stealing my bracelet's one thing, but laying her hands on company property?
00:26:48That's on a whole different level.
00:26:49What a golden opportunity.
00:26:51If I catch her stealing from the CEO's office,
00:26:53that promotion's practically mine.
00:27:06Hand the stolen goods over.
00:27:08Now!
00:27:09I didn't steal anything.
00:27:12And I'm not that janitor you're talking about.
00:27:15Yeah, right.
00:27:16You poor folk are all the same.
00:27:18Get fired one day, come crawling back the next.
00:27:21Thought you'd make off with some loot?
00:27:23Not with me around, you won't.
00:27:24Please, why don't you believe me?
00:27:26Stupid old cow really almost had me fooled earlier,
00:27:30and to think I fucking apologized to her.
00:27:33I'm not walking away until this bitch gets eviscerated.
00:27:37Mr. Davis, women like her aren't just shitty employees.
00:27:41They're treacherous scammers who lie and cheat their way to life.
00:27:46You need to knock her down a peg.
00:27:48Damn straight.
00:27:49People like her are rotten from birth.
00:27:52They're the lowest form of humanity.
00:27:54So we might as well treat them like it.
00:27:58I didn't...
00:27:59I didn't steal anything!
00:28:02And no one's born rotten.
00:28:04They just get corrupted by violent, immoral people like you.
00:28:09You think you're in a position to lecture us?
00:28:11You don't know shit about how the world works!
00:28:14I'm Roger's mother.
00:28:16I tried to tell you...
00:28:18Jesus, you're a broken fucking record!
00:28:19Fine!
00:28:20If you can't keep the CEO's name out that dirty belt of yours,
00:28:23I'll just have to shut it!
00:28:41Disguising herself as the CEO's family just to get a free lunch?
00:28:45She should have known this could only end one way.
00:28:48Seriously, we're hip to your tricks, you pathetic liar.
00:28:53You still the boss's mom now?
00:28:56Yeah, that's what I thought you'd fucking see.
00:29:01I'm finally meeting Roger's mom later today.
00:29:04What do you think would make the best gift?
00:29:06Well, I'm sure Mr. Brown's mother is a very distinguished, worldly woman.
00:29:11You should go with something high-end.
00:29:13Something befitting for a woman of her stature that also shows your sincerity.
00:29:18Good call.
00:29:20Ooh, these vintage earrings are nice, but do they feel a little too old-fashioned?
00:29:28Don't overthink it, Mrs. Thomas.
00:29:29She's gonna love whatever you give her.
00:29:31How can I not overthink this?
00:29:33Lucy, you only get one first impression.
00:29:36If I want to lock down Roger, winning his mom over is the first step.
00:29:39Ma'am, you're already his fiancé.
00:29:42I'm pretty sure you have him locked down already.
00:29:44That's where you're wrong, Lucy.
00:29:45The competition never ends.
00:29:48If you don't stay one step ahead, you lose.
00:29:51Learn that early, and someday you'll be the one giving orders.
00:29:55Wrap these earrings up for me.
00:30:06Really?
00:30:07You can't even handle this one simple task?
00:30:10I'm sorry.
00:30:12Fuck you.
00:30:19Babe, listen.
00:30:20I had another meeting come up last minute, so I'm gonna be late to my appointment with
00:30:24your cousin, Lisa.
00:30:26Can you meet with her and sign the contract for me?
00:30:28Of course, sweetheart.
00:30:29Anything you need.
00:30:30And hey, I finished all the prep for tonight's engagement party.
00:30:34I really hope your mom has a good time.
00:30:36Don't worry.
00:30:37She's gonna love it.
00:30:37All right, then.
00:30:39See you in a bit, Mr. Busy B.
00:30:44Mr. Brown, here are the briefing materials for your next meeting.
00:30:48Sir, the finance world is buzzing with news again today.
00:30:51Everyone's dying to know who's really behind Westream.
00:30:54I was thinking, maybe it's time you finally let the cat out the bag.
00:30:57At the very least, it would drive up sales and bring more publicity to new products.
00:31:01Emily, you know me.
00:31:03I want this company judged by the quality of its products, not by who owns it.
00:31:08That's why I stay out of the spotlight.
00:31:09Sir, I know you started out as the hardworking CEO who was always in the trenches with the
00:31:14rest of the staff, but you bought Westream outright three years ago.
00:31:18People deserve to know, especially people inside the company.
00:31:21Come on.
00:31:21My title doesn't matter to our employees.
00:31:23The one person who deserves to know is Vivian.
00:31:25I'll tell her tonight.
00:31:26Now that we're getting married, there should be no secrets between us.
00:31:29She's going to be florbed when she hears the news.
00:31:35Just hope she doesn't pass out on me.
00:31:45Talk.
00:31:46What the hell did you steal?
00:31:48You're not walking out of this room until you hand it over.
00:31:52Yeah, I can understand a cheap old hag like you taking my bracelet.
00:31:56But stealing from a trillion dollar corporation?
00:32:00That's not a game you want to play.
00:32:02I didn't steal anything.
00:32:04Fucking hell.
00:32:06She must really love getting beaten.
00:32:17Stop!
00:32:25What the hell are you all doing in Roger's office?
00:32:41I'm sorry, Miss Thomas.
00:32:47Vivian!
00:32:48What's going on in here?
00:32:49We caught that fucking bean all snooping around in here, that's what.
00:32:52Mr. Davis was just getting her to hand over what she stole.
00:32:55That's right, ma'am.
00:32:56She's that thieving janitor we fired yesterday.
00:32:59She just snuck back in, probably trying to rob the place to get back at us.
00:33:02I was just in the middle of interrogating her.
00:33:12Don't let her dirty up Roger's office.
00:33:14Understood, ma'am.
00:33:17Vivian, it's me, Roger's mother.
00:33:29You?
00:33:30You're Roger's mother?
00:33:31Yes.
00:33:32He showed me your picture.
00:33:33I recognized you right away.
00:33:38Holy shit.
00:33:40Is she actually the boss's mom?
00:33:42But wait.
00:33:44Miss Thomas doesn't look too convinced.
00:33:46Maybe that old hag's just bluffing again.
00:33:49God, is she for real?
00:33:51Fuck.
00:33:51Whatever, Mr. Davis is the one that smacked her around anyways.
00:33:55If it gets messy, I'll just dump the blame on him.
00:33:57Vivian, please.
00:33:59Talk to them for me.
00:34:01Tell them I'm not a thief.
00:34:02I've never stolen anything in my life.
00:34:06Hold on a second.
00:34:09Hold on a second.
00:34:10You said you saw a photo of me.
00:34:11So which one was it then?
00:34:13It was one from you and Roger's vacation last month.
00:34:17You were standing on the beach.
00:34:19Well, that tracks.
00:34:20We spent a few days at an island resort last month.
00:34:23I'm sorry.
00:34:24I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:34:26I didn't know.
00:34:26I can't believe I thought you were an intruder.
00:34:28A thief.
00:34:29God, I'm a first class fool.
00:34:31Oh, God.
00:34:32I've really done it now.
00:34:33No, wait.
00:34:34I'm not going down like this.
00:34:35I cannot lose this fucking contract.
00:34:38Vivian, please.
00:34:39It's the CEO's office, you know?
00:34:41I was just being careful.
00:34:43I never meant to offend anyone.
00:34:44Just don't hold it against me, okay?
00:34:46Here, I'll apologize to her right now.
00:34:48Not yet.
00:34:54If you really saw my photo, then tell me, what color dress was I wearing?
00:34:59I think it was blue.
00:35:02I can't remember exactly, but I saw it.
00:35:05I swear, Roger sent it to me.
00:35:11Was it this one?
00:35:14Yes.
00:35:15Yes.
00:35:15The one he sent me looked just like that, right?
00:35:18It was a white dress.
00:35:19Of course.
00:35:21You're not Roger's mother.
00:35:24You're lying.
00:35:25That photo was taken by the paparazzi.
00:35:27Why would Roger send you that instead of one of the hundreds of selfies of us on his phone?
00:35:32You just saw it in a tabloid and tried to use it as evidence that you know me.
00:35:35That's it.
00:35:36Tell me who the hell you really are.
00:35:37No, the one he sent me.
00:35:39It wasn't that exact photo.
00:35:41I think Roger took it himself.
00:35:44Here, I have it saved.
00:35:53Quit pretending.
00:35:55A woman like you, you don't even have the right to utter Roger's name, let alone call yourself his mother.
00:36:01Please, I'm his mother.
00:36:03What do I have to do to make you believe me?
00:36:06Shut it.
00:36:07Look at yourself.
00:36:08If you're going to say you're the CEO's mom, at least dress like it.
00:36:12One more word about my fiancé or his mom and I'll have security drag you out by your fucking hair.
00:36:22Brody old hag.
00:36:24First you steal company property and now you're trying to impersonate the CEO's mother?
00:36:29No.
00:36:30Please just listen to me.
00:36:32Worthless fucking fossil.
00:36:34If it wasn't for you, I'd have my contract signed by now.
00:36:38Mrs. Thomas, how do you suggest we handle this piece of human filthy?
00:36:41Vivian, trespassing in the CEO's office is a serious offense.
00:36:45She needs to be punished accordingly.
00:36:46Exactly.
00:36:47Just scavenging around for cash is one thing.
00:36:49But what if she gets her hands on some confidential corporate intel?
00:36:52That's a federal crime.
00:36:54I told you I didn't take anything.
00:36:57Roger will clear this out.
00:36:59Just let me go, Gim.
00:37:01She's trying to escape.
00:37:02Stop her!
00:37:04Making a run for it, are we?
00:37:06You're not going anywhere, Grandma.
00:37:08Let me go.
00:37:09I'm just going to see my son.
00:37:16There!
00:37:17Now she'll finally shut up.
00:37:21Want me to search her?
00:37:22See what she's trying to run off with?
00:37:24Not here.
00:37:25Roger would be none too pleased if we made a mess of his office.
00:37:27Have security take her out and tell them to strip her down if they have to.
00:37:31Security!
00:37:33Yes, sir.
00:37:35Take this filthy hag downstairs and search every inch of her.
00:37:38And if she's trying to smuggle anything out, make sure she pays for it.
00:37:46Wait!
00:37:47Cover her face.
00:37:48I don't want her seeing anything else in the building.
00:37:50For all we know, she's here to spy on us and leak secrets to our competitors.
00:37:54Great call, ma'am.
00:37:55You're the VP for a reason.
00:37:58Go with them.
00:37:59If they find anything, update me immediately.
00:38:01Also, keep this whole thing on the down low.
00:38:04Roger's mom will be here soon and we don't want anything sourning her arrival.
00:38:08Understood.
00:38:18Stop.
00:38:21What's this all about?
00:38:23Oh, Mr. Brown.
00:38:24This is part of a workplace security drill.
00:38:27Just a simulation exercise, sir.
00:38:29Drill director!
00:38:34Who's under the bag?
00:38:35Oh, just someone we hired.
00:38:37We're using a professional actor to roleplay an intruder for the drill.
00:38:41You know, to make it more realistic.
00:38:44Realism's fine, but don't go too rough on that actor.
00:38:46I don't want anyone getting hurt.
00:38:47Of course, sir.
00:38:48We're being careful.
00:39:04Mr. Brown, wait.
00:39:06The bag's filthy.
00:39:07You shouldn't touch it.
00:39:08Then why the hell is it over someone's head?
00:39:10I don't care if it's just a drill.
00:39:11You can't treat people like garbage.
00:39:15Take it off.
00:39:16Sir, sir.
00:39:17She asked for it.
00:39:18Said it'd help her get into the role.
00:39:20We paid her extra.
00:39:21She wanted to go all in.
00:39:24If that's what she asked for, then fine.
00:39:26But don't push it.
00:39:33Move.
00:39:34Now.
00:39:40Better keep quiet, you dried up bitch.
00:39:43One more sound and I'll shut you up for good.
00:39:54Hold it right there.
00:40:00I forgot to ask about Vivian.
00:40:02Everything good on her end?
00:40:03Yes, sir.
00:40:04She's handling the contract signing of 3CF right now.
00:40:07And once that's done, she'll head straight to the engagement party.
00:40:10The venue's all set up and ready to go.
00:40:11Good.
00:40:17Vivian, today has been nothing but chaos.
00:40:19What do you say we call Roger over and have him sign before anything else comes up?
00:40:24No need for that.
00:40:25Roger already put me in charge of this deal.
00:40:27I came here to sign on his behalf.
00:40:29Really?
00:40:30Oh my god, thank you!
00:40:34Not bad, Lisa.
00:40:35Your work's improving.
00:40:36At this rate, 3CF will be promoting you in no time.
00:40:39Well, hey, I'll have you to thank for giving me my big break.
00:40:42This contract is huge for me.
00:40:45Let me grab a pen.
00:40:47You're all invited to the engagement party tonight.
00:40:49Roger's mom is coming to town for the first time, and I'm sure she would love to meet you.
00:40:53Miss Thomas, thank you.
00:40:54It's truly an honor.
00:40:55This contract's just the beginning.
00:40:57I'll be relying on you and Lisa to stay on top of things from here on out.
00:41:00Absolutely, Mayhem.
00:41:01You can count on us.
00:41:13What kind of pen is it?
00:41:15It's diamond-stettled.
00:41:17I had it custom-made for his birthday.
00:41:19He always keeps it here.
00:41:20Diamond-stettled?
00:41:21Shit, that's gotta be worth like five figures.
00:41:26Wait...
00:41:26Do you think...
00:41:29That thief!
00:41:30I knew she was up to no good.
00:41:32You two hold tight.
00:41:33I'll bring her back here right now.
00:41:36Look what the cat dragged in, Mrs. Thomas.
00:41:45Did Roger clear everything up?
00:41:48Did he tell you who I am?
00:41:50You thieving hag!
00:41:52You think we don't know why you came here?
00:41:53Hand over the damn pen!
00:41:54What?
00:41:55What pen?
00:42:00Cut the act, Grandma.
00:42:01You stole the CEO's diamond-stretched pen, a birthday gift to Mr. Brown from the vice
00:42:05president herself.
00:42:07That thing's priceless.
00:42:08I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:09I promise you, I've never even seen that pen.
00:42:12You lying sack of shit!
00:42:14We were gonna use that pen to sign my fucking contract!
00:42:16Hand it over!
00:42:17I don't have it.
00:42:18Please, this is all a mistake.
00:42:20No, I didn't take Roger's pen!
00:42:21You've got this all wrong!
00:42:23Hold her down.
00:42:27Of all the things to steal, you picked my most precious gift to Roger?
00:42:31You'll be lucky to walk out of here alive.
00:42:33Stop!
00:42:34Why are you doing this?
00:42:35Why won't any of you believe me?
00:42:37Are you kidding?
00:42:39Everything about you literally screams, I'm a thief!
00:42:42Quit your whining and hand over Mr. Brown's pen.
00:42:45Maybe then we'll let you out in one piece.
00:42:50I don't have it.
00:42:52I swear to God, I don't have it.
00:42:56Stubborn old bitch!
00:42:57You think we're just fucking around here?
00:42:59Get me a bucket of water!
00:43:01Now!
00:43:06Lift her up.
00:43:13That pen isn't just expensive.
00:43:15It's the first gift I ever gave Roger.
00:43:17It's irreplaceable.
00:43:19So you better cough it up now before I go ape shit on your ass.
00:43:22I didn't take it.
00:43:32Hey, babe.
00:43:34Hey, just checking in.
00:43:35How's the contract signing going?
00:43:37All good so far.
00:43:38We'll be done any minute now.
00:43:42Roger, you have to save me.
00:43:47Is that mom?
00:43:51What was that?
00:43:52Oh, that sound?
00:43:53I was just changing the water in your vase, that's all.
00:43:57I could have sworn I just heard someone crying out for help.
00:44:04You must be overworked, babe.
00:44:07Maybe squeeze in a nap this afternoon, okay?
00:44:19Yeah, we'll see.
00:44:20Anyways, feel free to sweeten the deal with Lisa, as long as it's within reason, of course.
00:44:25You know, seeing as she's your cousin and all.
00:44:26That's so generous of you.
00:44:28She'll be thrilled.
00:44:29Roger, you're the best.
00:44:31Don't mention it.
00:44:36Wrinkly old bitch, you almost fucked this up for all of us.
00:44:39Get it through your head.
00:44:40No one's gonna save you.
00:44:42Give us that damn pen right now, or I'll dunk your head again.
00:44:45And this time, you won't come back up.
00:44:49Are you fucking kidding me?
00:44:51I didn't steal.
00:44:52I'm not a thief.
00:44:56I've got the pen.
00:44:58Mr. Brown used it this morning to sign the quarterly records.
00:45:02He handed it to me right after.
00:45:06Oh, well, that explains it.
00:45:08I was afraid Roger lost it or something.
00:45:12Good to see you, Miss Anderson.
00:45:14Who is this lady?
00:45:15Why are you guys acting all weird around her?
00:45:19That's Emily Anderson, Roger's personal assistant.
00:45:22I know, not the highest position,
00:45:23but she's the only one in this entire building
00:45:25that knows who really owns the company.
00:45:36What's all this?
00:45:39And why are you all in the CEO's office?
00:45:41We're in the middle of catching a thief, Mrs. Anderson.
00:45:44This woman here snuck into Roger's office
00:45:46and tried to make off with some loot.
00:45:49That's not true.
00:45:51I'm not a thief.
00:45:53Shut the fuck up.
00:45:54You guys got proof?
00:45:56Um, not yet, but...
00:45:59Then nothing's confirmed.
00:46:01Listen, Weststream has a security team.
00:46:04People whose job it is to deal with matters like this.
00:46:11This is the CEO's office, not a torture chamber.
00:46:14Yes, of course.
00:46:16Oh, by the way, Mr. Brown asked me to finalize the 3CF deal.
00:46:19We were just about to sign the contract.
00:46:20Yes, Miss Anderson.
00:46:22I'm Lisa Smith, the sales manager over at 3CF.
00:46:24We're here today to lock in the partnership.
00:46:28Mr. Brown's meeting should be wrapping up any minute.
00:46:30I suggest you all head to the banquet hall and wait for him there.
00:46:33Perfect.
00:46:34We'll bring the contract and sign it in the banquet hall.
00:46:36Escort her out.
00:46:37And give me a full report once they investigate her.
00:46:39Yes, ma'am.
00:46:41And get someone to clean up this mess.
00:46:43I want this room spotless.
00:46:44Yes, certainly.
00:46:49Let's go.
00:46:51Ma'am, we're going to need to take you in for questioning.
00:46:57What the hell are you doing to my mother?
00:47:05Sir, she was just...
00:47:07She's my mother!
00:47:19Mom, what the hell happened to you?
00:47:23Roger, I don't want to go to the party anymore.
00:47:26Can you just take me home?
00:47:30Did someone hurt you?
00:47:36Who did this?
00:47:40It was the vice president, sir.
00:47:43Vivian did this to her?
00:47:45But why?
00:47:46Vivian's cousin Lisa.
00:47:48She said your mom was a thief.
00:47:51I thought your fiancé would be warm, kind.
00:47:54But she's awful, Roger.
00:47:56I tried to tell her who I was, but she wouldn't listen.
00:47:59Un-fucking-believable.
00:48:01Tell Emily to prepare the car.
00:48:03We're going to the banquet now.
00:48:05Yes, sir.
00:48:28Boss, this engagement party is off the chain.
00:48:32Half the city's big names are here.
00:48:34Well, yeah, that's a given.
00:48:36Roger Brown's a rising star in the business world,
00:48:38and Vivian's parents are heavyweight investors in their own right.
00:48:42This isn't just some party, Jessica.
00:48:44It could shake up the whole damn stock market.
00:48:53Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas.
00:48:55Roger's a real catch.
00:48:56Vivian's done well for herself.
00:48:58I couldn't care less about his money or status.
00:49:01What matters is that my daughter's happy.
00:49:03Spoken like a true girl, Dad.
00:49:05You've always been her biggest supporter.
00:49:07Miss Thomas is here!
00:49:26Vivian, you look like a queen.
00:49:32Thank you all so much for being here on this special day.
00:49:35And please, enjoy the food and drinks.
00:49:37The ceremony will begin shortly.
00:49:43Mom, Dad, I'm so glad you could make it.
00:49:47We wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:49:49You look stunning.
00:49:50That's just because of the necklace I picked out for her.
00:49:54You like it, sweetheart?
00:49:57It's perfect, Dad.
00:50:00Ladies and gentlemen,
00:50:02Mr. Roger Brown has arrived.
00:50:22Whoa, what the hell?
00:50:24Dude, he's pissed.
00:50:25That is not the face of a man who's about to get engaged.
00:50:29Right?
00:50:29He looks like he's here to throw hands, not throw a party.
00:50:32And why is he rolling up with bodyguards and shit?
00:50:35Man, the Thomas family isn't going to like this.
00:50:37To be honest, though,
00:50:38if I were the West Stream CEO,
00:50:40I'd probably be pulling power moves like that, too.
00:50:42Oh, come on.
00:50:42Let's not get carried away.
00:50:43The guy's a CEO, not a fucking royal prince.
00:50:46Exactly.
00:50:46He needs to slow his roll.
00:50:48This place is filled with people
00:50:49who rake in just as much as he does.
00:50:55So this is how you greet your elders, huh?
00:50:57With a scowl and a squad of bodyguards?
00:50:59Dad, relax.
00:51:01He probably just rushed over, that's all.
00:51:06Roger, what's wrong?
00:51:08Where's your mom?
00:51:26What the fuck are you doing here?
00:51:30You crusty old hag.
00:51:33This is an exclusive event,
00:51:34not a soup kitchen.
00:51:36Get the hell out!
00:51:40Mr. Brown?
00:51:42What was that for?
00:51:43You tell me.
00:51:46Oh, I get it.
00:51:48This granny must have fed you some sob story, right?
00:51:51Sir, trust me.
00:51:52Everything she told you was a lie.
00:51:54But don't worry, Mr. Brown.
00:51:55I'll put an end to this once and for all.
00:52:06Roger, what the hell has gotten into you?
00:52:08It's just like Jimmy said.
00:52:09This lady's a thief, a worthless street rat.
00:52:12So whatever you're doing, just stop.
00:52:14It's an insult to my parents and everyone else here.
00:52:16A thief?
00:52:17A street rat?
00:52:17As VP of Westream, that's your official assessment?
00:52:20Mr. Brown, I can vouch for Vivian.
00:52:23That woman's a thief.
00:52:33Roger, what the fuck is going on?
00:52:35Say it again, Lisa.
00:52:36Say it to my face.
00:52:38Who's the thief?
00:52:40Mr. Brown?
00:52:42There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
00:52:45Roger, enough.
00:52:46This place is full of VIP guests.
00:52:47It isn't the time for theatrics.
00:52:49Actually, I think it's the perfect time.
00:52:50Hand me the contract.
00:52:55You're fired.
00:52:56No, Mr. Brown.
00:52:58Please don't do this.
00:53:00After what you did to her,
00:53:01you can forget about ever partnering with Westream Corporation.
00:53:05You.
00:53:06You did this.
00:53:07You set me up.
00:53:08You cognizing holding...
00:53:09If I were you, I'd lower your goddamn finger.
00:53:11I didn't set you up.
00:53:12I didn't have to.
00:53:13You did what you did, and now you're facing the consequences.
00:53:16Roger, are you seriously humiliating my cousin over some binong?
00:53:20This cousin of yours brutalized a defenseless old woman,
00:53:22mocked her, dehumanized her,
00:53:23and accused her of theft with zero proof.
00:53:25Tell me, is that the type of person we should be doing business with?
00:53:29Accused her of theft?
00:53:30We all know that bitch stole my bracelet.
00:53:39Wait, this, this bracelet, you bought it?
00:53:42I bought it for the woman standing next to me, my mother.
00:53:50Roger, her?
00:53:53She's your mom?
00:53:54My future mother-in-law?
00:53:59Roger, I'm sorry.
00:54:00I didn't know.
00:54:01I had no clue she was your mother.
00:54:02This is the woman who raised me, fed me, tucked me into bed at night.
00:54:07And you have the nerve to suggest I'm just making all this up to humiliate your cousin?
00:54:11No, no.
00:54:13Roger, that's not what I meant.
00:54:18I'm so sorry, Mr. Brown.
00:54:20I didn't know she was your mother.
00:54:22I was wrong.
00:54:23I should have been more discerning.
00:54:25All I ask is that you give me one more chance.
00:54:28Yes, Mr. Brown.
00:54:29We didn't mean any harm.
00:54:30Just please, please don't ruin us over this.
00:54:37Mrs. Brown, I'm sorry.
00:54:40I didn't mean to disrespect you.
00:54:42Please forgive me.
00:54:44No.
00:54:45You're only apologizing because you found out she's my mother.
00:54:48If she were just a stranger, just another woman on the street, would you still begging for forgiveness like this?
00:54:56That's what I thought.
00:54:57Now get the hell out.
00:55:02Vivian, please, say something.
00:55:04This contract is everything to me.
00:55:07I promised my boss I would seal the deal if I go back empty-handed.
00:55:11He'll fire me.
00:55:14Leave, Lisa.
00:55:15We'll talk later.
00:55:21Please, Viv.
00:55:22Please don't do this to me.
00:55:25Just go.
00:55:31You too.
00:55:32Out.
00:55:33Yes, Miss Thomas.
00:55:36Don't move.
00:55:37You're not just walking out of here after all that you did.
00:55:43Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:45I already regret how I treated you.
00:55:48Please, please show me some mercy.
00:55:55Take this criminal to the police station along with the surveillance footage from my office.
00:55:59Assaulting an elderly woman should land him a nice long vacation behind bars.
00:56:03Yes, sir.
00:56:06Mr. Brown, please.
00:56:08I screwed up.
00:56:09I swear I'll make it right.
00:56:10Get him out of my sight.
00:56:11Mr. Brown, I'm begging you.
00:56:13Whatever you want, I'll do it.
00:56:14Just please don't send me to jail.
00:56:23Mrs. Brown, I can't tell you how sorry I am.
00:56:26This was supposed to be a happy day, and I know things didn't go as planned, but I hope
00:56:30you won't hold it against me.
00:56:33Lucy, bring over the gift.
00:56:37I picked these out for you as a welcome gift.
00:56:39I hope you find them to your liking.
00:56:42Didn't go as planned?
00:56:45You and your cousin put my mother through a day straight from hell.
00:56:50But things just didn't go as planned?
00:56:53Roger, let it go.
00:56:55It was a misunderstanding.
00:56:56Okay, look at her.
00:56:57She's dressed up so beautifully tonight.
00:56:59All for you.
00:56:59No, it's not for me.
00:57:00It's just for show.
00:57:01Vivian, you looked down on my mom.
00:57:02You called her a street rat.
00:57:03So what does that make me then?
00:57:04The street rat son that she worked day and night to raise by herself?
00:57:08Roger, please.
00:57:10The guests are all waiting.
00:57:12They didn't come here to see us bigger about personal matters like this.
00:57:16Let's just cut the cake and take photos, and then we'll talk after, okay?
00:57:26Bring out the cake.
00:57:32Roger, don't be mad, all right?
00:57:35We can sit down and talk it over after everyone leaves.
00:57:38For now, let's just put on a big smile and enjoy our perfect moment.
00:57:43Actually, you know what would make this moment perfect?
00:57:47Showing the guests here every little thing you did to my mother.
00:58:05That pen isn't just expensive.
00:58:07It's the first gift I ever gave Roger.
00:58:10It's irreplaceable.
00:58:11So you better cock it up now before I go ape shit on your ass.
00:58:14I didn't take it.
00:58:18Oh, my God.
00:58:19Is that what it looks like?
00:58:21She's torturing her future mother-in-law?
00:58:23This is so much worse than I thought.
00:58:25She really could have hurt her.
00:58:27Wonder Roger lost it.
00:58:28That was my mom.
00:58:29Whoever did that to her would be in the hospital by now.
00:58:33Roger, please.
00:58:35Turn it off.
00:58:37No one was supposed to see this.
00:58:41So now you feel ashamed, huh?
00:58:44Where was this when you were busy trying to drown my mother?
00:58:47Roger, my parents are watching, for God's sake.
00:58:49What are you trying to do?
00:58:51Apologize to my mother right now.
00:58:53What?
00:58:53Babe, of course I'll apologize to her later.
00:58:55But I can't stand back and let you publicly humiliate me like this.
00:58:59You heard what I said.
00:59:00Don't make me repeat it.
00:59:02Mrs. Brown, please.
00:59:04Make him turn it off.
00:59:05You're a kind woman.
00:59:07You understand how bad this looks for me and my family, right?
00:59:12Roger, don't you think this has gone far enough?
00:59:15Vivian and I just got off on the wrong foot.
00:59:17That's all.
00:59:18This is your big nay.
00:59:19Let's forget about it and carry on with the party.
00:59:24Mom, you still want me to get engaged to this woman?
00:59:28Vivian and I just got off on the wrong foot.
00:59:30That's all.
00:59:30This is your big day.
00:59:32Let's forget about it and carry on with the party.
00:59:42Roger, what the hell was that?
00:59:45That's already been changed.
00:59:47Not anymore.
00:59:48The engagement's off.
00:59:50What?
00:59:53Enough!
00:59:54Who the hell are you to damage my daughter's reputation like this?
00:59:58If we played a video of your lowest moment in front of everyone,
01:00:01it would probably look just as bad.
01:00:03This is an unwarranted attack on the entire Thomas family.
01:00:08Exactly.
01:00:09First you broadcast that footage, then you trash the cake.
01:00:13What kind of man treats his own fiancé like this?
01:00:16The question you should be asking is,
01:00:18what kind of family raises their daughter to treat innocent people like that?
01:00:23Mrs. Thomas, please don't take this to heart.
01:00:26My son's just a little wound up there.
01:00:29Roger, you don't need to throw away your future over what happened with me.
01:00:34Vivian isn't my future now.
01:00:35She's my past.
01:00:37And that's set in stone.
01:00:39You arrogant bastard!
01:00:41Think you're some big shot, huh?
01:00:43You're just another wannabe tough guy in a suit!
01:00:47Dad, stop!
01:00:48He's the CEO!
01:00:52Who cares?
01:00:53He still answers to us!
01:00:55You think I'd let my daughter work under someone I didn't control?
01:01:01Vivian, Roger didn't make you the VP of Westream.
01:01:05I did.
01:01:07And that's because I'm a shareholder of the company.
01:01:10Your uncles, Daniel and Cooper, they are too.
01:01:13Wait, wait.
01:01:15Dad, you're a Westream shareholder?
01:01:18So I'm, I'm above all this?
01:01:23Roger, this changes everything.
01:01:29That's right, Vivian.
01:01:31We just closed a joint investment.
01:01:34You don't need to be afraid of Roger.
01:01:36He's just another salaried employee.
01:01:38He has no real power over you.
01:01:41Exactly.
01:01:42Roger's a cheap figurehead.
01:01:44He showed some promise at the start, so we overlooked his humble background.
01:01:47But now, turns out he's an ungrateful, uncivilized scumbag.
01:01:51Don't waste your time with him, Vivian.
01:01:53You can do so much better.
01:01:55Roger's jeopardizing his marriage and his career because of me.
01:01:59No.
01:01:59I can't let this spiral any further.
01:02:01Mother, Mrs. Thomas, please, don't let this little incident ruin their future together.
01:02:07Roger and Vivian, they're in love with each other.
01:02:10In love?
01:02:11Don't be ridiculous.
01:02:13I'm a shareholder's daughter, which means a janitor's son like Roger has no business standing anywhere near me.
01:02:20This relationship never should have happened in the first place.
01:02:23My daughter's brilliant and beautiful.
01:02:26Only someone like that mysterious West Stream owner would be worthy her.
01:02:32You know, that's a good point.
01:02:35I've heard our mystery owner is a real heartthrog.
01:02:38Vivian, I'll make sure to introduce you to him when the time's right.
01:02:43Thanks, Uncle Daniel.
01:02:44I'd like that.
01:02:53It's funny.
01:02:54I thought I said it pretty clearly the first time.
01:02:56Apologize to my mother right now.
01:02:59Did you not hear what my dad just said?
01:03:01He's a West Stream shareholder, and you're just some piss-poor beggar trying to fake it as a businessman.
01:03:06Want me to apologize to your crusty mom over my dead fucking body?
01:03:10And just why should I be so scared of your shareholder dad?
01:03:15Watch it, Roger.
01:03:16Don't make him put you in your place.
01:03:19Right, my place.
01:03:20I suppose it's the perfect time to show you all what that place is.
01:03:37Dad!
01:03:38Fire this arrogant prank now!
01:03:42Roger, I'm sick and tired of you disrespecting me in front of my guests!
01:03:46This is your last shot.
01:03:47Give us a public apology, or you can pack your damn things and get the hell out of West Stream!
01:03:52Oh, Roger, this is all my fault.
01:03:54Please.
01:03:56I don't want you to lose your job because of me.
01:04:00Mom, nothing is your fault.
01:04:02And don't worry.
01:04:04They don't have the authority to fire me.
01:04:06We don't, do we?
01:04:07Oh, my God.
01:04:08This kid really thinks he's untouchable.
01:04:11Between Daniel, Cooper, and I, we own over 30% of West Stream.
01:04:14We're moving a placeholder CEO like him barely even calls for a meeting.
01:04:18True that.
01:04:20Roger's just some hot-headed chump in a nice suit.
01:04:24Still has no idea how the game works.
01:04:26If you know what's good for you, you'll hurry up and apologize.
01:04:30I'll apologize.
01:04:31I'll do it!
01:04:34No, Mom.
01:04:35You, you raised me.
01:04:37You've already done more than enough.
01:04:38You don't owe a thing to me or to these goons.
01:04:41But, Roger, these people, they hold your future in the palm of their hands.
01:04:48I just thought I might be able to help.
01:04:51I couldn't care less about who these people are.
01:04:54They mean nothing to me.
01:04:55All right, then I won't do it for you.
01:04:57I'll apologize on my own behalf.
01:05:05Mr. Thomas, I'm truly sorry for what transpired today.
01:05:10Please don't punish Roger for my mistakes.
01:05:12He can be stubborn sometimes, but he's a good man.
01:05:15A hard worker.
01:05:19God, Roger, I can see why Vivian thought your mother was a thief.
01:05:23She looks like she crawled out of a fucking dumpster.
01:05:26Not to mention, she absolutely reeks.
01:05:28How could anyone not assume she's just some bottom feeder?
01:05:34What did you just say?
01:05:40Did I stutter?
01:05:41Don't tell me you've never noticed that your own mother looks like a grimy street-side bum.
01:05:58Mom, stop pouring drinks for these ignorant fools.
01:06:01They don't deserve a shred of our respect.
01:06:08What's your tone, Roger?
01:06:09Who the hell are you calling ignorant?
01:06:11You, that's who.
01:06:12A man so obsessed with flonking his class that he doesn't realize how classless he really is.
01:06:17God damn you, Roger!
01:06:19That's my father you're talking to!
01:06:21I'm well aware.
01:06:22Keep pushing me and next time I'll use my fists instead of words.
01:06:38Roger, sweetheart.
01:06:40You've worked too hard to throw it all away now.
01:06:43Don't let your temper get the best of you, okay?
01:06:46Just be the bigger person and apologize.
01:06:48Too late for that now.
01:06:52I'm contacting Emily.
01:06:54She'll call the board, and Roger will be out as CEO by nightfall.
01:06:57You have my full support.
01:06:59This is exactly the kind of hot-headed nonsense we warned the board about.
01:07:02He's done.
01:07:04Let him see what it feels like to wake up unemployed.
01:07:07Maybe then he'll learn to show some humility.
01:07:13Messaging Emily now.
01:07:14This asshole won't be talking shit anymore when he's out on the streets.
01:07:23Mr. Thomas, please, don't make any decisions you'll regret.
01:07:27I'll apologize for Roger.
01:07:29Just please let him keep his job.
01:07:33Roger, baby.
01:07:34Just swallow your pride and say sorry.
01:07:37You'll be glad you did.
01:07:38Mom, trust me.
01:07:39I'm going to be just fine.
01:07:41This is all my fault.
01:07:43If I hadn't come today, none of this would have happened.
01:07:47No, Mom.
01:07:48I should thank you.
01:07:51You helped me see the Thomases for who they really are.
01:07:54You'll be jobless in ten minutes, Roger.
01:07:57Maybe start updating your resume instead of playing Mr. Tough Guy.
01:08:11Just heard back from Emily.
01:08:14Emily.
01:08:16She's arranged for Westream's mystery owner to come here and settle this in person.
01:08:25Once this punk's gone, we'll nominate Vivian as the new CEO.
01:08:29You better believe it.
01:08:30Vivian's young, capable, driven.
01:08:33I guarantee she'll take us to the next level.
01:08:40Thank you, all of you, and I won't let you down.
01:08:43I'm going to be the best CEO Westream has ever had.
01:08:59Oh, look at him.
01:09:00Still pretending like he has a job.
01:09:02Once my daughter's CEO, she'll clean house.
01:09:05That means everyone who might even think of vouching for Roger is getting sacked.
01:09:09If I were you, I'd be begging Vivian to show a little mercy.
01:09:12Who knows?
01:09:12It might save you from starving.
01:09:14Oh, that must be how you guys became shareholders.
01:09:16By graveling and begging for mercy like spinless cowards.
01:09:19Time's up, Roger.
01:09:20No more running your mouth.
01:09:20You have two options.
01:09:21Publicly apologize to my father or wait for the board members to fucking obliterate you.
01:09:25Please, Vivian.
01:09:26Think about how much you cared for Roger just yesterday.
01:09:28It's not worth ending his career over a fight.
01:09:30If an apology is what you want, then let me do it.
01:09:32I'll get on stage and scream it in front of all the guests if that's what it takes.
01:09:35Well, well.
01:09:37Let's see how sincere she really is.
01:09:42No, Mom.
01:09:43No.
01:09:44They're the ones who should be doing this, not you.
01:09:45You motherfucker.
01:09:47Sacking you isn't enough.
01:09:48We ought to beat you black and blue.
01:10:02Mrs. Anderson.
01:10:03Why are you alone?
01:10:04I thought you were bringing the chairman.
01:10:07Yes.
01:10:07Where is he?
01:10:08Should I go pick him up myself?
01:10:10That won't be necessary.
01:10:11He's already nearby.
01:10:14Thought you were bringing the chairman.
01:10:17Roger, you have to stop being so impulsive.
01:10:20Your future matters more than my dignity.
01:10:22You're wrong, Mom.
01:10:24Nothing matters more than your dignity.
01:10:26Nothing.
01:10:27And plus, I'd be more worried about their future than mine.
01:10:31Don't get too cocky, kid.
01:10:34The whole board's already signed off on your removal.
01:10:37You'll be drowning in your own tears before you know it.
01:10:40Mr. Thomas, the chairman clearly doesn't have much patience for your rambling.
01:10:45Why don't you just cut to the chase?
01:10:52Great.
01:10:53Then let's make it official.
01:10:55Mrs. Anderson, please promptly inform the board that we, the shareholder present in the room,
01:10:59have agreed to remove Roger Brown as CEO of West Dream.
01:11:03Vivian Thomas will be appointed in his place.
01:11:06That's right.
01:11:07The vote is unanimous.
01:11:14There's no need to pass this on to the board.
01:11:16The chairman rejects your decision.
01:11:19Excuse me?
01:11:20Emily, the chairman's not even here.
01:11:22How the hell would you know what he thinks about it?
01:11:26Would you like to confirm it yourself, Mr. Chairman?
01:11:32What do you mean, Mr. Chairman?
01:11:37You still don't get it?
01:11:41It's me.
01:11:43I'm the chairman.
01:11:50This is hilarious.
01:11:52Roger can't even tell the difference between a CEO and an owner.
01:11:56Is anyone going to break the news to him?
01:11:58Kid's delusional.
01:11:59Must have hit his head or something.
01:12:01Roger, I get it.
01:12:02We backed you into a corner and now you're scared.
01:12:05But this?
01:12:06Really?
01:12:08Did you forget that Emily's met the real boss?
01:12:11You can't just lie to her face and get away with it.
01:12:15Mr. Brown isn't lying.
01:12:18He's the owner of Westream.
01:12:25Three years ago, Mr. Brown acquired over 60% of Westream's shares as a private investor.
01:12:31To avoid scrutiny, he chose to remain anonymous and face the public as company's CEO.
01:12:37Sweet mother of God, he really is the owner.
01:12:41It's all over.
01:12:42No, no.
01:12:43This is fake.
01:12:44This has to be fake.
01:12:45He paid you off, didn't he?
01:12:46You're covering for him.
01:12:48Don't think I won't call the police and have you arrested for fraud.
01:12:51Please, call them and have them look into it.
01:12:54That'll only confirm Mr. Brown's identity faster.
01:13:10Now remind me, what was this board meeting supposed to be about?
01:13:20What a silly misunderstanding this all was, Mr. Brown.
01:13:24No hard feelings, right?
01:13:26Why don't we carry on with the engagement party?
01:13:28Your lovely mother came all this way for your special day.
01:13:31We wouldn't want to disappoint her.
01:13:33You can go fuck yourself.
01:13:36Roger, you little...
01:13:37Vivian, watch your mouth.
01:13:39That's your boss you're talking to.
01:13:41Shit.
01:13:42Okay, he's really the boss.
01:13:44I have to shift the game plan to saving my career.
01:13:47The good thing is, Roger and I have real feelings for each other.
01:13:50Maybe mom's right.
01:13:51If I apologize fast enough, I can still salvage this.
01:13:55Please don't call off our engagement.
01:13:57Please don't call off our engagement.
01:13:59I'll be good to your mom.
01:14:00I'll take care of her like she's my own.
01:14:05Never seen anyone switch sides that fast.
01:14:09Impressive.
01:14:11Too bad it doesn't matter.
01:14:13Mrs. Brown!
01:14:15Please talk to him.
01:14:17Don't let him throw away what we had.
01:14:20I'll never love anyone but him.
01:14:24Then tell me this.
01:14:26Do you really want to marry my son?
01:14:29Or do you want to marry the man who owns 60% of this company?
01:14:38If you're going to beg my mom, at least make it convincing.
01:14:49Mrs. Brown, I'm so...
01:14:54I'm so...
01:14:55Stop embarrassing yourself, Vivian.
01:14:58Just looking at you makes my skin crawl.
01:15:01Roger, please.
01:15:02Let's just pretend this never happened.
01:15:04I didn't want you to get fired.
01:15:06It was all my dad.
01:15:08Ah, yes.
01:15:08Your dad.
01:15:11You must be very proud of the monster you raised, Sam.
01:15:15Vivian Thomas,
01:15:17you're fired.
01:15:18And you can forget about ever working at West Stream again.
01:15:21No.
01:15:22Roger, please, no.
01:15:24Dad, do something.
01:15:26I gave everything to this company.
01:15:28I can't go down like this.
01:15:30Mr. Brown,
01:15:31I realize you're the majority owner,
01:15:33but I'm still a shareholder.
01:15:34You and I,
01:15:35we should be working together.
01:15:38And, sir,
01:15:40you can't just dismiss
01:15:41High's high-level employees
01:15:42without consulting me first.
01:15:43It's reckless.
01:15:44You think you still have a say in this company?
01:15:46I can snatch away your measly little share
01:15:48with the flick of a wrist.
01:15:50Cool it, buddy.
01:15:52We're not going to hand over our shares
01:15:54just because you ask.
01:15:56Whoa, whoa.
01:15:57Sam, don't drag me into this, man.
01:15:58If push comes to shove,
01:15:59I'm siding with Mr. Brown.
01:16:01Yeah!
01:16:02You're the one who started all this!
01:16:04Mr. Brown, I'm sorry.
01:16:05I was misled.
01:16:06I let my judgment slip.
01:16:08It won't happen again.
01:16:11You filthy, rotten bastards!
01:16:16You two want a second chance?
01:16:18Fine.
01:16:22But your daughter abused my mother.
01:16:25And that means
01:16:26your whole family's going to pay.
01:16:31Just say the word, Mr. Brown.
01:16:35Sam sure runs his mouth a lot
01:16:36for a guy who has nothing worth saying.
01:16:39Let's see if he keeps jabbering
01:16:40after he gets a few teeth knocked out.
01:16:44Yes, sir.
01:16:57Either you help him out
01:16:59or you're next in line.
01:17:04Mr. Brown, please tell them to stop!
01:17:07They're going to kill my husband!
01:17:09Friend!
01:17:11Funny.
01:17:12Your daughter didn't seem too worried
01:17:14about killing my mom
01:17:16when she was dunking her head underwater.
01:17:21Mr. Brown, I'm begging you.
01:17:24That's the father of the woman
01:17:26you once loved.
01:17:29Please spare him.
01:17:30He's also the father of the woman
01:17:32who nearly murdered my mother.
01:17:34I guess that didn't occur to you.
01:17:37Fine!
01:17:37I admit it!
01:17:39I'll fess up to everything I did!
01:17:41I'll tell everyone!
01:17:44That's the first real thing
01:17:46you've said all day.
01:17:50All right, then.
01:17:51Start talking.
01:17:52I...
01:17:53I accused her of stealing.
01:17:56I dunked her head
01:17:57into a bucket of water.
01:18:02I nearly killed her.
01:18:14No, I'm not as cruel as you.
01:18:15Do it yourself.
01:18:25Roger, that's enough.
01:18:27Let them go.
01:18:32No, I'm not stopping.
01:18:34Until they suffered
01:18:35just as much as you did.
01:18:37Look,
01:18:38I know you want to protect me,
01:18:40but if you keep fighting hate with hate,
01:18:42you're no better than they are.
01:18:45You've already made things right,
01:18:46now let's take the high road
01:18:48and walk away from this.
01:18:53Enough!
01:19:05You can go.
01:19:06You're lucky my mother
01:19:07has such a kind heart.
01:19:09Thank you, Mrs. Brown.
01:19:13Thank you, Mrs. Brown.
01:19:28Mom.
01:19:31I'm sorry.
01:19:34I was so busy chasing zest
01:19:36that I went missing
01:19:37when you needed me most.
01:19:41But I promise,
01:19:42from now on,
01:19:43I'll make time.
01:19:44I'll be more present.
01:19:46You'll never have to deal with things
01:19:48on your own again.
01:19:56You've always made me proud, Roger.
01:20:00I don't blame you for any of this.
01:20:03Come on.
01:20:04Let's go home.
01:20:05Let's go home.
01:20:08Let's go home.
