09:46No, ma'am.
09:47I just fell by accident.
09:58This was a reward I got.
10:00You can have it, ma'am.
10:01I hope it makes you feel better.
10:04Seven years.
10:05The child I raised like a treasure never once asked me,
10:07Are you okay?
10:16What's your name?
10:17My name is Mallory.
10:19Mallory?
10:20Ma'am, I should go back.
10:22I hope you feel better.
10:23Have a good day.
10:25She looks about Liana's age.
10:27This is no time to cry.
10:30I have to find my child.
10:32I have to find my child.
10:37Are you sure Hawthorne will announce Liana's company inheritance at her birthday party next week?
10:42Hawthorne has never liked me, but who cares?
10:45As long as Liana is a Crowley child, that inheritance is hers.
10:48A Crowley child?
10:49As if Leon actually has anything to do with that family.
10:52Maya, we agreed never to talk about that.
10:55I know.
10:56I'm just wondering how much longer I have to wait before I can stand beside you in the open.
11:00It's arranged.
11:01Next week, you'll join as my assistant.
11:04Then you can be by my side openly.
11:06Really?
11:07When have I ever lied to you?
11:12By the way, I took care of the other child.
11:15What child?
11:17You know exactly which one.
11:20I found Byers.
11:22A wealthy couple.
11:24Their son needs healthy organs.
11:25And Mally is a match.
11:28Maya, are you saying...
11:30Arthur!
11:31Wake up!
11:32If Sarah finds out that child exists, what do you think she'll do?
11:34Everything will blow up.
11:35I won't let anyone destroy everything we fought for.
11:38That kid has to disappear.
11:42Fine.
11:43Do it your way.
11:49Mrs. Crowley, this is Janice Verga.
11:53Janice Verga.
11:54Seven years ago, you handled my delivery.
11:56And you helped Maya Loper switch the babies, didn't you?
11:59Mrs. Crowley, I don't know what you're talking about.
12:03Your daughter is about to start at Wharton Corp, isn't she?
12:06Good grades?
12:07She should get in.
12:09But if something unexpected happened, do you think it would still go smoothly?
12:13Please.
12:14No.
12:16Mrs. Crowley, please.
12:17She worked so hard.
12:19Please don't ruin her life.
12:21So you ruined my child instead?
12:23I'm sorry.
12:24My daughter's house diagnosed with that can't then.
12:26I needed money.
12:27I had nowhere to turn.
12:28Maya came to me and said she'd give me $200,000 if I helped her.
12:32So you do know what it means to be a mother?
12:34I only mentioned your daughter's future and you fell apart.
12:37What about me?
12:38Where did you send my child?
12:41Tell me.
12:42Where is my child?
12:44At Hope Haven Foster Center.
12:46It was funded under the Crowley name.
12:48What did you say?
12:49Maya's cousin has been the director there.
12:52The child has been there the whole time.
12:54Over the years, I often brought the girl small things.
12:58This is her photo.
13:00Mrs. Crowley, I can go to prison, but please don't hurt my daughter.
13:07This was a reward I got.
13:09You can have it, ma'am.
13:10I hope it makes you feel better.
13:14She's my child?
13:16Maya told the center to give her special care.
13:19She went hungry half the time.
13:21Her clothes never fit and she was always covered in bruises.
13:24But that kid is a real hard work and so thoughtful, too.
13:29I'm sorry.
13:30Special care, ma'am.
13:33Annie, get the car.
13:34We're going to Hope Haven.
13:35Yes, Mrs. Crowley.
13:44Mallory, these are going to be your new parents.
13:52They don't actually want to adopt me.
13:55What nonsense are you talking about?
13:57The other kids told me they just want to take my heart for their child.
14:01Oh, Mallory, don't listen to those kids.
14:04They're only saying that because they don't want you to leave.
14:07Your new parents are taking you to a better life.
14:10Really?
14:10Of course.
14:11Go on.
14:14Come here, sweetheart.
14:15Come to Mama.
14:20Ms. Reyes, we'll be going now.
14:22Okay.
14:23Take care.
14:25Take care.
14:26Take care.
14:29Take care.
14:30Take care.
14:30Take care.
14:37Mrs. Reyes, someone is here.
14:40It's Mrs. Crowley.
14:43Mrs. Crowley?
14:45What is she doing here?
14:47He hid my child in a facility funded by the Crowley family.
14:50No one would think to look here.
14:52Arthur, you really planned this well.
14:54Annie, run a background check on Marla.
14:56I want it in 30 minutes.
14:57Yes, Mrs. Crowley.
14:59Mrs. Crowley, welcome.
15:01What brings you here today?
15:02I'm looking for someone.
15:03Looking for who?
15:06This child.
15:07Mallory.
15:08She found out?
15:09No.
15:09I have to warn Maya.
15:11Mallory?
15:12Oh, the children have a field trip today.
15:14They should be back in about two hours.
15:15Would you mind waiting?
15:16In an hour, they'll be on the plane.
15:18Too late to stop them.
15:21Okay.
15:22Please have a seat.
15:23I'll step out to make a call.
15:28What's wrong?
15:30Mallory got adopted.
15:32Isn't that a good thing?
15:34But I heard the people taking her are bad.
15:40Kids, the Mallory you're talking about, is it this girl?
15:43Yeah, that's her.
15:44Where is she now?
15:45She got taken away.
15:47I overheard Mrs. Reless on the phone.
15:49They said they were going to take Mallory's heart and put it in someone else.
16:02Mrs. Crowdy, I've got it.
16:04Marlon Reyes is Maya Lopez's cousin.
16:09Family.
16:14Should I call the police?
16:16Not yet.
16:17I need to get the truth out of her first.
16:23Pick up.
16:24Come on, pick up.
16:35Oh, shit.
16:39Mrs. Crowley?
16:43Mrs. Reyes, I'll ask you one more time.
16:46Where is Mallory?
16:47She went on a field trip.
16:50Tell me, where is my child?
16:52She really went on a field trip.
16:54She'll be back in two hours.
16:57Marlon, start talking.
16:59Mrs. Crowdy, please don't.
17:01She's on the way to Austin Airport.
17:03The flight leaves in less than an hour.
17:05Watch her.
17:06Don't let her contact anyone.
17:07Understood.
17:28This was a reward I got.
17:30You can have it, ma'am.
17:31I hope it makes you feel better.
17:33I'm sorry.
17:34These seven years must have been so hard for you.
17:38I'm sorry I didn't figure it out sooner.
17:45Flight AC 1657 will depart in 50 minutes.
17:49Passengers, please prepare for boarding.
17:52Shit!
17:56Fifteen minutes.
18:06Say.
18:07The couple adopted Mallory to harvest her organs.
18:10Their son was suffering from organ failure and needed a transplant.
18:13And Mallory was a perfect match.
18:15So they're taking her for surgery?
18:16Yes.
18:17Flight AC 1657 starts boarding in 30 minutes.
18:20Got it.
18:26Sarah, I love you.
18:28I promise to take care of you and love you with all I have for the rest of my life.
18:33Will you marry me?
18:34Arthur.
18:36Honey, I will make you the happiest person in the world.
18:41Ma'am, are you okay?
18:42The ambulance is on its way.
18:45Mallory.
18:56Sweetheart, it's time to go.
19:00Has the latest flight to the States taken off?
19:03Ma'am, the latest flight to the States departed five minutes ago.
19:06Would you like me to check the next one?
19:09What?
19:10The next flight is in two hours.
19:12Would you like me to book it for you?
19:19Hello?
19:20Sarah, I'd like you to accompany Leona and me to the charity gala next week.
19:24What does a charity gala have to do with me?
19:27Everyone in our circle will be there.
19:29And with Leona's birthday party next week, you should make an appearance with her beforehand.
19:33Arthur, I don't want to talk about this right now.
19:35I have something to handle.
19:37Bye.
19:37She's usually excited to go out with Leona.
19:40What's with her today?
19:42Book me a ticket to the States.
19:44The earliest flight.
19:45Of course, ma'am.
19:49The couple adopted Mallory to harvest her organs.
19:52Their son was suffering from organ failure and needed a transplant.
19:55And Mallory was a perfect match.
20:00I'm sorry, Mallory.
20:02I'm so sorry.
20:14Ma'am, why are you crying again?
20:19Don't cry.
20:20Have a candy.
20:24Lady, you're hugging too tight.
20:34Mallory, there you are.
20:36Why did you run off?
20:37Move.
20:40No, ma'am.
20:42They're bad people.
20:43Please help me.
20:47Are we really going to kill this little girl?
20:50Phil, we're one step away from saving our son.
20:53Don't get soft now.
20:54Once we land, she goes straight into surgery.
20:57We can't screw this up.
21:00I heard you.
21:02You want to take my heart.
21:04You're bad people.
21:06Stop talking nonsense.
21:08Come with us now.
21:09Who are you?
21:10What do you think you're doing?
21:11I won't let you take her.
21:15Miss Crowley.
21:18You have two choices.
21:20Walk out on your own or leave in handcuffs.
21:27Hold them.
21:28Don't let them contact anyone.
21:30Yes.
21:35Ma'am, you just said you're my mom.
21:38But I don't have a mom.
21:40Are you really my mom?
21:41Yes.
21:42I'm your mom.
21:44Are you going to take something from my body, too?
21:46I'm scared it'll hurt.
21:51You do have a mom, your mom.
21:53I'm sorry.
21:54Mommy came too late.
21:55I will never let anyone take you away again.
22:11Dad.
22:13This is my daughter.
22:23Sweetheart, welcome home.
22:26I'm your grandpa.
22:31Hello.
22:34Hello.
22:40Let's talk inside.
22:43Victoria is waiting for you.
22:52Sarah!
22:57My sweet.
23:00Mom, I'm okay.
23:04Hello.
23:06I'm Victoria, your grandma.
23:08Welcome home.
23:09Hello.
23:10Hello.
23:11Mrs. Crowley.
23:15Take her to wash up first.
23:17Use Leona's clothes for now.
23:19Yes, Mrs. Crowley.
23:21Sweetheart, go rest and have something to eat first.
23:25Okay.
23:27My child should have grown up with the best of everything.
23:30They stole seven years of that from her.
23:33Baby, give me just a little more time.
23:36Dad.
23:37Mom.
23:38I'm sorry.
23:40I've made you worry all these years.
23:42That doesn't matter right now.
23:43What are you going to do?
23:45I've already gathered some evidence.
23:47The DNA test, asset transfer records, testimony from the foster center.
23:51I'm going to leave him with nothing.
23:52I'll handle the legal side.
23:54The family's legal team is ready whenever you are.
23:56I'll assign people to investigate.
23:57Every piece of evidence must be preserved.
24:03What is her name?
24:05Malorie.
24:06Malorie?
24:07Malorie?
24:08No one at Hope Polar ever bothered to change it.
24:10Then from this day on, her last name is Crowley.
24:13As for her first name...
24:15No.
24:15Her name stays Malorie Crowler.
24:17She was born a Crowler and I want that name back where it belongs.
24:21Good.
24:22Malorie Crowler.
24:25I'll go up and see her first.
24:27Madam.
24:28Sir.
24:29What happened?
24:30I was helping the little girl change and she's covered in marks.
24:34Bruises over bruises.
24:35Some fresh, some old.
24:36What kind of injuries?
24:37Everywhere.
24:38Her arms, her back, her legs.
24:40Some have already scabbed over.
24:42Some are still purple.
24:42This has been going on for a long time.
24:44Those bastards!
24:45Arthur, every scar on her body is going on your bill.
24:49Sarah, breathe.
24:51The doctor is on her way.
24:52We document every injury, every bruise, every damn thing they did to her.
24:56Mom's right.
24:57I'm going upstairs to see her now.
25:01Calvin?
25:02Where's the doctor?
25:03Still on her way, Mr. Crowley.
25:05Wait at the front door.
25:07The second she arrives, bring her in.
25:09Yes, Mr. Crowley.
25:14Okay, where are you two sneaking me off to?
25:17Eyes closed.
25:19Careful, there's a step.
25:20Mommy, I saw you peek.
25:22I didn't.
25:23Mommy kept my eyes closed.
25:26Almost there.
25:29Alright, open your eyes.
25:31Do you like it?
25:33Happy birthday, Mommy.
25:34I bought these with my own allowance.
25:37I love it.
25:38Thank you, baby.
25:39Happy birthday, honey.
25:42I'm so happy.
25:43When I'm with you two, I keep wishing this could be our real life.
25:47No hiding.
25:48No pretending.
25:49Just us.
25:49You are my real life.
25:50Give me one more week.
25:51Once the inheritance is locked in, I'll give you the wedding I should have given you years ago.
25:54Bigger than Sarah's?
25:56Sarah's wedding was politics.
25:58Yours will be love.
25:59Sarah, so what if you're of noble birth?
26:01Your husband isn't truly yours, and neither is your daughter.
26:04You're so pitiful.
26:08All right, presents.
26:09Leona and I spent forever choosing them.
26:12Mm-hmm.
26:15Oh, my God.
26:16This is impossible to find.
26:18You really hunted it down for me?
26:20For you?
26:20Always.
26:21Do you love it?
26:22I do.
26:24Put it on me?
26:25Of course.
26:30How does it look?
26:31Beautiful.
26:33Mommy, you're so pretty.
26:35Look at you, saying all the right things.
26:38Mommy, open mine next.
26:40Mine is better than Dad's.
26:42Is that a challenge, my sweet?
26:44Bring it here.
26:45Let's see.
26:48Right.
26:49Today's Sarah's birthday, too, isn't it?
26:51I would have forgotten if you hadn't said it.
26:53Call her.
26:54Keep it sweet.
26:57Have Sarah feeling neglected.
26:59You're right.
27:00You always see the whole board.
27:09Happy birthday, honey.
27:10Leona, come say happy birthday to your mom.
27:13I don't want to.
27:15Leona, don't be rude.
27:16Go on, honey.
27:17It'll be over in a second.
27:24Happy birthday.
27:34That was barely a sentence.
27:37I don't want to.
27:38Be sweet.
27:39Mommy wants a yacht.
27:41Ask her for it, okay?
27:42Fine.
27:44Good girl.
27:45We're away right now, and shipping a gift back is a hassle.
27:49Let's skip presents this year.
27:51You already have everything, Sarah.
27:53One less gift won't kill you.
27:55Funny.
27:55Buying gifts for his mist with my money never seems to be a hassle.
27:59Nine years of anniversaries, birthdays, every little detail handled by me.
28:04And in their eyes, I was the help with a trust fund.
28:07I should have thrown that devotion in the trash.
28:09Then we're done here.
28:11Wait.
28:12Don't hang up.
28:15Leona wants to talk to you.
28:18She's missed you, too.
28:22Mommy, I miss you.
28:24Mommy, remember the boat you promised me?
28:27I want a real yacht, one I can take out on the ocean.
28:30When are you buying it?
28:35I'm so tired of being stuck with Sarah every day.
28:38She only says she misses me when she wants something,
28:41and I gave her everything for those three little words.
28:43God, I was naive.
28:44From now on, don't even think about taking anything else from me.
28:49We'll talk when you're back.
28:51Why did she hang up?
28:53That's not Sarah.
28:55If Leona says she misses her, Sarah usually melts.
28:58Why was she so cold?
29:00What's wrong?
29:01Nothing.
29:02Sarah just sounded wrong.
29:03Usually she lingers on the phone with Leona.
29:05Today she cut us off.
29:06Do you think she knows something?
29:07Marlott called me several times, and I missed every call.
29:10What if Hope Haven went sideways?
29:13No one's picking up.
29:16Shit!
29:19What if something actually happened?
29:22I'll try again.
29:22Maybe she's just busy.
29:26Marlott?
29:27Finally, where the hell have you been?
29:29I've been tied up.
29:30What's wrong?
29:31What's wrong?
29:32You blew up my phone, then vanished when I called back.
29:34What the hell is going on?
29:36Oh.
29:36I was in California for a charity event.
29:39Bad reception.
29:40California?
29:41Since when do you just run off to California?
29:43Last minute decision.
29:44It's fine.
29:45Don't worry.
29:46And the center?
29:47The girl?
29:48Nothing went wrong?
29:49Don't worry.
29:50Everything's fine.
29:51I handled it.
29:52Are you sure?
29:54I'm sure.
29:55I have to go.
29:56Bye.
29:57She says she was in California, and the foster center is fine.
30:01California?
30:02Out of nowhere?
30:03She does charity events all the time, doesn't she?
30:06Maybe we're overthinking it.
30:08Maybe.
30:09Well, don't let Sarah get in your head.
30:10She hasn't noticed a thing in seven years.
30:13She's probably pouting because you didn't take her on the trip.
30:17You're right.
30:18Sarah's used to being indulged.
30:19The moment she feels left out, she snulks.
30:21You're nothing like her.
30:22You actually understand me.
30:28Honey, we're back.
30:33Mommy, I missed you.
30:37Why is she still this cold?
30:39She hasn't seen Leona in almost a week.
30:41This isn't the reaction she should be having.
30:43Sarah, Leona's birthday party is in three days.
30:46Your father said he'll announce the heiress there.
30:48Are the venue, guest list, and schedule set?
30:50Do you need me to step in?
30:55It's handled.
30:56Venue, guest list, schedule.
30:58My father speaks.
30:59The papers are signed.
31:00The transfer is announced.
31:01Two hours.
31:01Two hours for an inheritance announcement?
31:04My father approved it.
31:06If you object, talk to him.
31:08Leona, go play in your room.
31:13Sarah, two hours makes this look small.
31:15The board and the press will be there.
31:17Don't you think people will say the Croweys are treating Leona's future like an afterthought?
31:26Leona's future?
31:27When did you ever care about any child who was actually mine?
31:30My father set the schedule.
31:32Take it up with him.
31:33There it is again.
31:35Hawthorne Crowley.
31:36The wall she hides behind.
31:38Am I supposed to stay beneath this family forever?
31:41Fine.
31:42If your father decided it, we'll follow it.
31:44But if we're announcing Leona's rights, the right people need to be in that room.
31:47Don't worry.
31:48Everyone who belongs there will be there.
31:50Sarah, don't forget.
31:51Leona is your daughter.
31:52I know exactly what Leona is to me.
31:59Everyone who belongs there will be there.
32:07Arthur, it's been too long.
32:08You certainly know how to throw a party.
32:10Long time no see.
32:12We had to.
32:12Half of Austin's elite is here tonight.
32:14Sarah, how are you holding up?
32:16Very well.
32:18I hear Croweck Energy has been busy.
32:20A few projects are finally moving.
32:21Sarah, we hardly see you in public anymore.
32:23Children have a way of shrinking your world.
32:26Liera is starting to look just like Arthur.
32:28That's what everyone says.
32:31Who is that?
32:32No idea, but she certainly knows how to make an entrance.
32:34Everyone, this is Maya Lopez, my assistant.
32:37She's been very helpful at the company, so I wanted you all to meet her.
32:40Arthur, Columbia educated and that beautiful?
32:42You do hire well.
32:44You flatter me.
32:45Young, polished, always beside Arthur.
32:47Interesting.
32:48Maya!
32:50Mrs. Lopez, right?
32:51My daughter seems very attached to you.
32:54Leona is a sweet girl.
32:55Maya helped with a few of Leona's enrichment classes.
32:58That's all.
32:58That's all?
33:00Good to know.
33:02Then let's follow each other on Instagram.
33:04Teachers and mothers should stay connected, right?
33:11Mrs. Lopez, your Instagram is spotless.
33:14No friends, no photos, no life.
33:17How unusual.
33:18I don't use social media much.
33:20Work keeps me busy and I never have much to post.
33:22Maya is private.
33:23She doesn't put her life online.
33:25Private.
33:25Of course.
33:28Mrs. Crowley.
33:29Mrs. Crowley.
33:32Thank you all for coming today.
33:34Mom.
33:34Dad.
33:35Sarah.
33:38Arthur.
33:39Is this the assistant you've been spending company money on?
33:42Yes.
33:42Maya Lopez, my new assistant.
33:44Where did you find her?
33:45Columbia graduate.
33:46Very capable.
33:47She helps with my schedule and sometimes with Leona's schoolwork.
33:50A seven-year-old's homework requires an executive assistant now?
33:53Sarah can't take care of her own child?
33:56Sarah has an Ivy League doctorate.
33:58She can handle second-grade worksheets.
34:01But apparently you needed a young Columbia graduate for that.
34:05You're really quite generous, aren't you?
34:08I didn't think it through.
34:09No, you didn't.
34:11And don't confuse access with talent.
34:13You sit where you sit because you married my daughter.
34:16Without Sarah, you wouldn't be in this room.
34:18Once I have the Crowler fortune in my hands, I'll make every one of them choke on that arrogance.
34:25Dad, you may have embarrassed Ms. Lopez.
34:27She's young, beautiful, Columbia educated, and apparently indispensable.
34:32With such a beautiful woman by his side, Arthur might not even need me anymore in the future.
34:37Don't you think so, Arthur?
34:38Sarah, don't be ridiculous.
34:39If Maya makes you uncomfortable, I'll ask her to leave.
34:42No.
34:42She came for Leona's birthday.
34:44We wouldn't want to be rude.
34:45Dad, what's the starting monthly pay for an assistant with no real experience?
34:49A little over $3,000.
34:50Then make hers four.
34:52Consider it a family charity project.
34:54Fine.
34:55If that's what you want.
34:57Enjoy your little performance, Sarah.
34:59One day, everything here is going to be mine.
35:05Blueberry?
35:06I hate blueberry.
35:07I want cherry cake.
35:08Blueberry was always Sarah's favorite.
35:10It's my birthday.
35:11I want cherry.
35:12Cherry!
35:12Grandpa, you always take my side.
35:15Mommy and Grandma are being mean.
35:17Liana, Sarah loved blueberry cake.
35:19But after you were born, she stopped buying it for seven years.
35:21Do you know why?
35:21Because you didn't like it.
35:23He used to spoil Liana rotten.
35:24Why is he suddenly keeping score?
35:28I don't want blueberry.
35:31I hate it.
35:32I don't want Grandma either.
35:34You're all mean.
35:36Hawthorne and Victoria feel different tonight.
35:39I want cherry.
35:41Change it.
35:41What if they change their minds?
35:43Liana's inheritance is still safe, right?
35:46But who else do they have?
35:48Liana is the only heir.
35:50The board papers are signed.
35:51Tonight is just theater.
35:53Okay.
35:55Don't cry.
35:56It's just cake.
35:57Daddy will buy you a cherry cake later.
35:59The biggest one they have.
36:01Really?
36:02Have I ever broken a promise to you?
36:04Mr. Crowder, the inheritance documents are ready for your final review.
36:09All right.
36:10Excuse me, everyone.
36:11I'm going to give the documents one final look.
36:13I'll be right back.
36:14Arthur, be useful.
36:16Entertain the guests.
36:17Of course.
36:18Take your time.
36:23Leona is a sharp little girl.
36:26She'll go far.
36:27With Arthur guiding her, I'm sure she will.
36:29You're too kind.
36:31She's spirited, that's all.
36:32She kept us busy as a toddler.
37:03Spirited is good.
37:04Leona is awkward.
37:05Leona is just very attached to me.
37:08She gets upset when I'm out of sight.
37:14Leona really is attached to Miss Lopez.
37:16I've never seen her take to anyone that quickly.
37:19Miss Lopez must have a gift with children.
37:21You're very kind.
37:23I just treat Leona with patience.
37:25Children know who truly cares about them.
37:27Maya has helped with Leona a lot.
37:28Naturally, Leona likes her.
37:31Leona, do you like Maya?
37:32Yes, I do.
37:35Enough.
37:36Why are you measuring yourself against an assistant?
37:38Everyone knows you're my wife.
37:41Thank you for waiting.
37:42Now I'll announce the future heiress of Crowley Energy.
37:45Finally.
37:46Nine years of smiling for these people.
37:48And it all comes down to this.
37:50Say Leona's name, old man.
37:52Then everything Sarah was born with becomes mine.
37:55Only I deserve all of this.
37:56The Crowley family's fortune, their connections, all of it will be mine.
38:00All the years of disdain they've shown me, I'll make every single one of you pay it back.
38:04So what if you just have a good birth?
38:06Once I get all of this, you'll still be on your knees begging me.
38:12Crowley Energy will pass to...
38:15Come on.
38:16Say Leona.
38:18My daughter, Sarah Crowley.
38:29Wait.
38:30Sarah?
38:31I thought Leona was the heir.
38:32You hired an assistant to take care of Leona, didn't you?
38:35That frees Sarah to return to the company where she belongs.
38:38But this was settled.
38:40You can't just rewrite it in front of everyone.
38:44Rewrite what?
38:45Leona is my daughter.
38:46My assets will be hers someday.
38:48Why does it matter whether she gets them today?
38:50But the inheritance documents were signed.
38:52You can't treat a corporate succession like a seating chart.
38:55Miss Lopez.
38:56Crowley family decisions are made by Crowlers, not assistants.
38:59I can change at any time if I want.
39:01Besides, you're an outsider.
39:02You have no right to meddle in my family's affairs.
39:05I'm Leona's biological mother.
39:07The mistress of the Crowley family will be me.
39:09An outsider like you getting so worked up, anyone wouldn't know better and might think
39:12you're actually Leona's mother.
39:19Sarah, what the hell is that supposed to mean?
39:22You changed the heiress without warning.
39:24Did you even think about Leona?
39:26Leona is seven.
39:27She can wait.
39:28You, on the other hand, seem oddly desperate.
39:37It's Leona's birthday.
39:38Let's not turn this into a board fight.
39:40Let her cut the cake.
39:41Yes, cut the cake.
39:54I wish I could have a different mom.
39:58I want to stay with Mommy Maya forever.
40:08Oh, what was that?
40:12Kids say things.
40:14Surely she didn't mean it.
40:15Leona, enough.
40:17Stop talking.
40:19She's naughty and rambling.
40:21Don't take it seriously.
40:22Leona, go cut the cake with your parents.
40:25Yes, yes.
40:25Cake fixes everything.
40:29Go get your mom.
40:30We are cutting the cake as a family.
40:35Mommy Maya, come cut the cake with me.
40:41Leona, stop it.
40:43Sarah, she's been around Maya too much lately.
40:45She's confused.
40:46Don't make this bigger than it is.
40:48Right.
40:48Children don't understand what they're saying.
40:50Sarah, let it go.
40:52It's a party.
40:53Sweetheart, don't call me that.
40:55Your mother might feel hurt.
40:58Leona, do you want Maya to be your mother?
41:02All right.
41:04Then I hope you get exactly what you asked for.
41:09Sarah, don't be absurd.
41:10Everyone knows Leona has one mother, and it's she's a child.
41:13Don't punish her for a sentence.
41:15I'm not punishing her.
41:18I'm respecting her.
41:20If she wants another mother, I won't stand in her way.
41:26Can someone please talk to her?
41:28How ridiculous.
41:30Leona made a childish wish.
41:31That's all.
41:32Sarah is not a child.
41:34If this is her decision, her mother and I support it.
41:38It's Leona's birthday.
41:40Let the birthday girl have what she wants.
41:43Exactly.
41:44Leona's happiness is what matters tonight, isn't it?
41:47But Dad, she was just throwing a tantrum.
41:50Sarah is...
41:51I hate this house!
41:52I hate all of you!
41:54I don't want to be here!
42:02Sarah, we need to speak privately.
42:04What has gotten into you?
42:06Ever since Chicago, you've been punishing everyone.
42:09First the inheritance, now a child's birthday wish.
42:12Is this because I didn't take you to Chicago?
42:14You're blowing up our family over a trip?
42:16You were never this petty!
42:20Sarah, this isn't you.
42:21No, this is exactly me.
42:23Really? Well, I didn't take you to Chicago this time.
42:26And you're upset about it.
42:27I get it.
42:28If you're angry at me, be angry at me.
42:30Don't take it out on a seven-year-old.
42:31Do you have any idea how much of an impact the things you just said will have on her?
42:34Taking it out on her?
42:36Arthur, you really think too little of me.
42:38I'm just going along with her wishes.
42:40Whoever she wants to call Mommy, I'll let her call.
42:42What did I do wrong?
42:43This... this isn't reason!
42:45This is you setting fire to our home!
42:47Relax.
42:48I haven't even given you your surprise yet.
42:58That's mine!
42:59Don't touch my things!
43:08Who said you could touch my stuff?
43:11Why did you take my doll?
43:13Who are you?
43:13Who are you?
43:14This is my house.
43:15That's my doll.
43:16Why are you in my toy room?
43:17It's not yours.
43:18Mommy gave it to me this morning.
43:19I don't care.
43:20In this house, if I want it, it's mine.
43:22No.
43:23I can't cause trouble for Mom.
43:24And if I say you can't play here, you can't.
43:27Mommy and my grandparents said I could.
43:29This is my house.
43:31My rules.
43:32If I say no, you don't get to stay.
43:34Where'd you get those clothes?
43:36Why are they the same as mine?
43:38Mommy dressed me.
43:39Liar!
43:40My mom had those made for me!
43:42Who are you?
43:43Who are you?
43:43Who are you?
43:45Who are you?
43:47Who are you?
43:52Thank you all for coming to Leona's birthday.
43:55Since we're gathered here, I have a special gift for my husband.
43:59What gift?
44:00Before he opens it, I'd like to tell you a story.
44:02The story everyone thought they knew about Arthur and me.
44:05A Crowley Morris love story.
44:06Now that's worth hearing.
44:08We don't often get Sarah Crowley telling personal stories.
44:11Nine years ago, we were students.
44:13Arthur wasn't an executive.
44:14He was a broke young student with hardly any moneyed his name,
44:17scraping by from one day to the next.
44:18He told me he fell for me the moment he saw me.
44:21Then he chased me like I was the only thing he wanted.
44:23Where did you disappear to?
44:26Do you like it?
44:27I went to half the city looking for it.
44:30Once, when I was sick in the hospital,
44:32he rushed to me and was hit by a car on the way.
44:37Sarah, are you okay?
44:38I'm almost there.
44:39I'm so sad.
44:52Sarah, are you alright?
44:54Why didn't you tell me you were sick?
44:56I'm coming.
44:57He was injured,
44:58and still all he cared about was me.
45:00I thought that was love.
45:03My parents didn't agree.
45:05Sarah, he isn't the man for you.
45:07We won't approve this marriage.
45:09I want him.
45:10In this lifetime,
45:12I choose only him.
45:13No matter what any of you say.
45:15To prove himself,
45:16Arthur stood outside our estate
45:18for three days and three nights.
45:21Mr. and Mrs. Crowdy,
45:22I love Sarah.
45:24I will spend my life taking care of her.
45:26Please give me a chance.
45:28Eventually, my father gave in.
45:30Arthur and I married,
45:31then Leona came into our lives.
45:33So today,
45:33I want to thank my husband for nine years
45:35and for the home I thought we had.
45:38And I have a special gift for him and Leona.
45:43Sarah, you poor fool.
45:45The cold expression earlier
45:47was just setting the stage.
45:49Alright.
45:49Giving such a generous gift
45:50in front of all these people
45:51is her way of saving Mace.
45:53Nine years have passed,
45:54and she's still so easy to appease.
45:56You didn't have to do this.
45:57I know I upset you earlier,
45:58but I also know you love me and Leona
46:00more than anything.
46:01Really?
46:01Then guess what I brought you.
46:02I promise you'll remember it forever.
46:05Mommy, remember the boat you promised me?
46:07I want a real yacht,
46:08one I can take out on the ocean.
46:10When are you buying it?
46:11Is it the yacht Leona wanted?
46:12You actually bought it?
46:14Half right.
46:14It does involve Leona.
46:16Miss Crowley and Mr. Morris
46:17always look like the perfect couple.
46:18Exactly.
46:19She has poured herself
46:20into that husband and child.
46:21I knew it.
46:23You could never really
46:24turn your back on us, sir.
46:26Don't get sentimental yet.
46:27Bring it in.
46:36Take that off.
46:37You're not allowed to dress like me.
46:41Mommy gave it to me.
46:42Liar!
46:43My mommy had that made for me.
46:45Take it off.
46:46Now!
46:47Leona,
46:48Miss Crowder brought this girl home.
46:50Why don't we go back for cake?
46:51I said take those clothes off her
46:52and throw her out.
46:53If you don't,
46:54I'll have Dad fire you.
46:55Leona,
46:56I can't do that.
46:56Fine.
46:57Don't listen.
46:58You'll regret it.
47:07You always make everything
47:08so thoughtful.
47:09But you know,
47:10we don't need grand gestures.
47:11You and Leona are enough for me.
47:13Save the husband of the year speech.
47:15I've waited a long time
47:16to give you this.
47:16I want to see your face
47:17when you open it.
47:27A dud to cumin envelope?
47:29Is this the yacht certificate
47:31Leona wanted?
47:32She made quite a ceremony out of it.
47:34Open it.
47:38What is this?
47:39Do you like it?
47:40Since it's already in your hands,
47:41read it for everyone.
47:43Sarah,
47:43what are you doing?
47:44This is Leona's birthday.
47:45Don't pull some stunt
47:46in front of all these people.
47:46A stunt?
47:48Look at me, Arthur.
47:50Read.
47:57Since Mr. Morris
47:59seems to have lost his voice,
48:00I'll read it myself.
48:02The DNA report
48:03excludes Sarah Crowdy
48:04and Leona Morris
48:05as biological mother and child.
48:07In plain winged wish,
48:09Leona Morris
48:09is not my daughter.
48:16Oh my god,
48:17what did she just say?
48:19If Sarah isn't
48:19Leona's mother,
48:20then who is?
48:21Wait,
48:22no,
48:22is it her?
48:23No,
48:24absolutely not.
48:25That report is fake.
48:27Leona is your daughter.
48:29You gave birth to her,
48:30Sarah,
48:30Sarah,
48:30you know that.
48:32Then explain why
48:33the hospital record
48:33from that day
48:34doesn't match
48:35Leona's birth certificate.
48:38Have you lost your mind?
48:40It's our daughter's birthday
48:41and you're waving
48:42forged papers around
48:43like party fairs?
48:44Have you ever considered
48:45how Lieschia feels?
48:47What?
48:47You think tearing it up
48:48makes it disappear?
48:49I've got more.
48:50As many as you want.
48:52Miss Crowdy,
48:52please,
48:53there has to be
48:54a misunderstanding.
48:55I don't know where
48:56you got this,
48:56but humiliating everyone
48:57at a child's birthday party
48:59won't make it true.
49:06How kind of you
49:08to worry about
49:08everyone's dignity,
49:09Miss Lopez.
49:10Especially since
49:11I haven't even started with you.
49:13Mrs. Crowdery,
49:14I didn't mean...
49:15You meant I should
49:16stay quiet,
49:17keep smiling,
49:19keep playing mother
49:19to a child
49:20you put in my arms.
49:21Arthur got his gift.
49:23Now it's your turn.
49:26This one is yours,
49:27Miss Lopez.
49:28Aren't you going
49:29to open it,
49:30Mrs. Lopez?
49:30You know what's inside
49:32better than I do.
49:33I...
49:34I don't know
49:35what you're talking about.
49:36You don't?
49:37That's strange.
49:38You were so involved.
49:40Maybe this will help.
49:42Leona's real mother,
49:44Maya Lopez.
49:47Oh!
49:49Oh!
49:59Give me that!
50:00Give me that!
50:02Arthur.
50:03You thought I wouldn't
50:04find out?
50:07Sarah, listen to me.
50:10Everyone here tonight
50:11is successful
50:12in their own right,
50:13and many of you
50:14have watched
50:14Leona grow up.
50:15But this report
50:16in my hand
50:17says it plainly.
50:18All this time,
50:19her biological mother
50:20was standing beside
50:21my husband,
50:22pretending to be
50:23his assistant.
50:25Arthur,
50:26Sarah loved you.
50:27The Crowers gave you
50:29everything.
50:29How could you do this?
50:31We all thought
50:32you were respectable.
50:33God, what a fraud.
50:35And you,
50:36being the mistress
50:37and standing here
50:37smiling in Sarah's house?
50:40Shameless!
50:47Sarah,
50:48you want out
50:49of this marriage?
50:50So you're trying
50:51to burn me down
50:52with it?
50:54Don't listen to her!
50:55The report is fake!
50:57She wants a divorce
50:58without giving up assets?
51:00And she doesn't want
51:01the company
51:01passing to Leona!
51:03This is a setup!
51:04She's been planning it!
51:07Miss Crow,
51:08understand you
51:08don't like seeing me
51:09near Arthur.
51:10But accusing me
51:11of this?
51:11How am I supposed
51:12to survive
51:13this kind of slander?
51:15Slander?
51:16That's rich.
51:22Then let's move
51:23to the photographs.
51:30That's not an assistant.
51:32That's his mistress.
51:34Some people
51:34really can act.
51:35I can't believe it.
51:44Arthur,
51:45if I'm inventing this,
51:46explain the photos.
51:48Did I also drag you
51:49into her hotel bed?
51:52It's not what
51:53it looks like.
51:54The angles
51:55are misleading.
51:56We were talking
51:56about Leona's lessons.
52:01Leona's lessons?
52:02In a hotel room?
52:04Half dressed?
52:06Sarah,
52:06I made a mistake.
52:08Every man makes it.
52:10The Crowley family
52:11lifted you
52:12to where you are today.
52:13And this is how
52:14you repay us?
52:16By keeping another
52:17woman on the side?
52:19You switched my baby!
52:21You stole seven years
52:22from me and my daughter.
52:25You let my daughter
52:26disappear into
52:27foster's care
52:28while Maya's child
52:29grew up in my nursery!
52:31And now,
52:32you want to stand there
52:33and call yourself
52:34the victim?
52:42I'm sorry
52:42you all had to
52:43witness this.
52:44But there are debts
52:46that can't be settled
52:47in private.
52:48These are Arthur's
52:49transfers to Maya
52:50over the last nine years.
52:51A few thousand at first,
52:53then tens of thousands,
52:54then hundreds of thousands,
52:56then millions.
52:59Our marital assets
53:01bought her houses
53:02and cars.
53:04The jewelry,
53:06bags,
53:06and clothes
53:07I thought were mine?
53:09Counterfeits.
53:10The originals
53:10went to Maya Lopez.
53:13Arthur,
53:14are you even human?
53:15The Crowles
53:15gave you a life!
53:16Used their money
53:17to finance your mistress?
53:19That's not a man.
53:20That's a parasite.
53:21And you have the nerve
53:22to cry?
53:24Sarah Crowley,
53:26money doesn't
53:26make you God.
53:28Arthur and I
53:28were together
53:29before you ever
53:30showed up.
53:31What we had
53:32was real.
53:33You don't get
53:34to rewrite that
53:34because you bought
53:35a marriage!
53:36Ah!
