00:00:03Please, doctor, there's gotta be something you can do to save my wife!
00:00:06Sir, with all due respect, the mother has preeclampsia and the cord is around the baby's neck.
00:00:12We cannot do that surgery here.
00:00:15So you need to go find a hospital that can and quick.
00:00:20Hey, wait, wait, wait, no, we need help!
00:00:24Hey, hey, honey, hey, I've got you.
00:00:29We're gonna get help.
00:00:30I'm sorry, Jack.
00:00:32You gotta be done, okay?
00:00:34Don't you say that.
00:00:35I am gonna get you to another hospital, right now.
00:00:39And everything's gonna be okay.
00:00:41We made it here, Jack.
00:00:42It's the only thing that I know, okay?
00:00:47Grace, Grace, Grace!
00:01:03Who are you?
00:01:05Don't you, don't, don't, don't you dare, don't you dare touch her!
00:01:09Grace!
00:01:24Who are you?
00:01:29Where are you taking my wife?
00:01:34I got Carter, right?
00:01:36I can't believe Grace gave up the Mercer name for a low-life plumber like you!
00:01:42You're Richard Mercer.
00:01:43You're my boss.
00:01:45Grace's father.
00:01:48This is my fault.
00:01:50It's all my fault.
00:01:53Save her.
00:01:55Please, I'll do anything.
00:01:57Just save Grace.
00:02:12I'm sorry, Grace.
00:02:14I hope you were meant to live on the highest show.
00:02:17But if it weren't for me, I should have protected you.
00:02:36It's a girl, Don.
00:02:38A little miracle.
00:02:39A new Mercer.
00:02:40Grace's future heir.
00:02:45That's no Mercer.
00:02:49Throw her out with the trash.
00:02:53No!
00:02:54Please!
00:02:55Please!
00:02:55Spare my daughter.
00:02:56Spare her?
00:02:57And who's sparing my daughter?
00:03:00If I hadn't arrived in time and thrown out the best lowbees in the country,
00:03:04Grace would have died on Thanksgiving.
00:03:07Your worthless lowlife.
00:03:09You stole my own fire and dragged her down.
00:03:13Your miserable life.
00:03:14I gave my whole life to Ray's Grace.
00:03:18And you ruined her!
00:03:21I didn't ruin her.
00:03:24I loved her.
00:03:25All you've ever given her is your poverty.
00:03:29In your misery.
00:03:31You dare call that love?
00:03:33You dragged my daughter into hell!
00:03:35I'm gonna do the same to yours!
00:03:39No!
00:03:46No!
00:03:47What are you doing here?
00:03:51Where's my baby?
00:03:52Your bastard died in childbirth, my darling.
00:03:56No, no.
00:03:57That's not possible.
00:03:59Where's Jack?
00:04:00I don't believe you.
00:04:02I wanna hear the truth from him.
00:04:03You almost died here, Grace.
00:04:06I saved you.
00:04:08I did!
00:04:08I won't have you ruin yourself for that man again.
00:04:11So I shut him up.
00:04:14Forever.
00:04:15Murder!
00:04:16There!
00:04:17What people are going to ignore her?
00:04:19When she remembers she's a mercer, she can come home.
00:04:31Jack.
00:04:33I'm sorry.
00:04:35Grace.
00:04:53I can't be your burden anymore.
00:04:58I couldn't protect your crime.
00:05:00But I will protect you.
00:05:05Always.
00:05:12As Mr. Good Cookies, make a wish you could bite.
00:05:19No, thank you.
00:05:21As Mr. Good Cookies, make a wish you could bite.
00:05:28As Mr. Good Cookies, make a wish you could bite.
00:05:34Yeah, right, who would eat this crap?
00:05:36You and a dog.
00:05:43Hey, I'm tired of those.
00:05:45You owe me a buck. Pay up.
00:05:48You're such a loser.
00:05:49Your dad's a crippled, your mom left you,
00:05:52and you will never have a real Thanksgiving.
00:05:57Hey! Hey!
00:05:59What do you think you're doing?
00:06:02Yes, ma'am.
00:06:05It's freezing.
00:06:07Did your dad make you come out here and sell those?
00:06:12Esme!
00:06:15Hey.
00:06:17Honey, are you okay?
00:06:19Why didn't you sneak out of your alert again?
00:06:20Jack Carter,
00:06:22we keep getting complaints about you making your kid come out here and sell cookies.
00:06:25No, it was my idea.
00:06:28I wanted to buy him a new cane for Thanksgiving.
00:06:32This is broken.
00:06:35Baby, I don't need a new cane.
00:06:38Okay?
00:06:39Esme, all I need is for you to be happy.
00:06:43It's all that matters, right?
00:06:45It's keeping them happy.
00:06:46Esme doesn't have a mom.
00:06:49As her dad, she needs to keep her safe.
00:06:52Not just happy.
00:06:54One more serious complaint from the court,
00:06:56and we can take her away from me.
00:06:59And it won't be forgiving as I am.
00:07:02We do have a mom.
00:07:03She just can't be with us right now.
00:07:05But she will.
00:07:07Right, dad?
00:07:10Your mom, she's...
00:07:16She's a superwoman.
00:07:18She's out there saving the world.
00:07:20Fine.
00:07:21And I hope she comes back soon.
00:07:24To save you, too.
00:07:26I'm buying the rest of your cookies.
00:07:32I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving, miss.
00:07:35And go home with your dad.
00:07:45Mom's coming back for Thanksgiving, right?
00:07:48I've never even met her.
00:07:51Well, superwoman's got to help a lot of people on Thanksgiving.
00:07:55But if you ever miss her,
00:07:57all you have to do is just look in the mirror.
00:08:00Okay?
00:08:01And you look just like her.
00:08:02Then she'll recognize me the second she sees me.
00:08:08Let's go home.
00:08:13My money!
00:08:14No, family!
00:08:22Dad!
00:08:32Nine years, Jack.
00:08:34And I still see you in my dreams.
00:08:36Every night.
00:08:38Miss Mercer, your father, he had a heart attack.
00:08:41They've rushed him to the hospital.
00:08:44Grace, you should not have talked back to your father like that.
00:08:47Don Mercer's worked hard to establish an alliance with the Blank family.
00:08:52He only wants what's best for you.
00:08:54He loves you.
00:08:56Loves me.
00:08:57He loves me enough to kill the man I love.
00:09:01Maybe just stay back.
00:09:03Big wave!
00:09:04Watch where you're going!
00:09:06Dad, wake up! Dad, please wake up!
00:09:08Dad, please wake up!
00:09:14Jack, please wake up!
00:09:19Jack, please wake up!
00:09:20Jack, we can't, please, Dad!
00:09:22Jack!
00:09:22What is it?
00:09:23Miss Mercer?
00:09:25Just not Jack.
00:09:27I miss Jack.
00:09:28Jack's been gone nine years.
00:09:30There's no way it can be him.
00:09:32Jack, why did you leave me to face the cold world alone?
00:09:44Dad, please don't leave me.
00:09:46Please.
00:10:02Sir, how's my dad?
00:10:04Oh, um...
00:10:06He's badly hurt.
00:10:07He's still unconscious.
00:10:11Please.
00:10:12He's just all my money.
00:10:14Please save him.
00:10:16Sweetheart.
00:10:18I'm afraid this won't be nearly enough.
00:10:22But the state that he's in...
00:10:24It'll take at least half a million dollars.
00:10:27I'll get it.
00:10:29I swear I'll find the money.
00:10:30Just save him.
00:10:31Please.
00:10:33Esme?
00:10:38Esme?
00:10:39Starting today, we're going to be your new mom and dad.
00:10:43Esme, I know this is sudden, but your dad can't look after you right now.
00:10:48It's okay.
00:10:49Because we're going to help pay to get your dad the care that he needs.
00:10:52No.
00:10:53I don't want your care.
00:10:54I only want my dad.
00:10:56Ow!
00:10:57Esme, stop!
00:11:01That nobody's been dead for nine years.
00:11:05When will you finally forget him?
00:11:07You're the heir.
00:11:09Marry Sebastian Bleak.
00:11:11And then the Mercer name shines on again.
00:11:14I will never marry anyone else.
00:11:17Even if he's dead, I am still his wife.
00:11:20And I always will be.
00:11:30Looks like you're feeling just fine.
00:11:44Ungrateful daughter.
00:11:46Still clinging to that loser's reign.
00:11:49Well, let's see how long you can hold on to it.
00:11:54Help!
00:11:56Esme!
00:12:05Why does this little girl look so familiar?
00:12:08Esme!
00:12:11Please.
00:12:11Please help me.
00:12:15I'm a social worker.
00:12:17That little girl.
00:12:18Her father's been in a car accident.
00:12:20He won't wake up.
00:12:22I've arranged temporary foster care for her, but...
00:12:25Miss, please help me.
00:12:27Please don't let her take me away from my dad.
00:12:30Her father just had an accident.
00:12:33You're already taking her away?
00:12:35But she's still a kid.
00:12:36How can you be so cruel?
00:12:38All right.
00:12:40I'll let her stay.
00:12:41For now.
00:12:45Promise me you won't go anywhere, okay?
00:12:52Hey.
00:12:54Where's your mom?
00:12:55Honey?
00:12:58I don't know.
00:12:59I never even met her.
00:13:06Take this.
00:13:08Use it for your dad.
00:13:09Right?
00:13:10Thank you, Miss.
00:13:12What's your name?
00:13:13I'll pay you back someday.
00:13:15My name is Grace Mercer.
00:13:16And you don't have to pay me back.
00:13:19Okay?
00:13:20You're a good girl.
00:13:22I believe that your dad will get better soon.
00:13:38Happy almost Thanksgiving, Miss.
00:13:40I hope that all your wishes come true.
00:13:44If my daughter were alive, she'd be about your age.
00:13:48But my wish will never come true.
00:13:58Don.
00:14:00Hitting Grace, that's not going to win her back.
00:14:04Oh.
00:14:05So now that I'm dying, you think you can teach me how to live?
00:14:09It's that damn Jack.
00:14:10He's ruined half of Grace's life.
00:14:13I won't let him ruin the rest.
00:14:15You know, I gotta fix her up with a decent husband.
00:14:19Or I'll not rest easy.
00:14:26Sir, you dropped your ring.
00:14:30This little girl.
00:14:32My God.
00:14:34She looks just like Grace at that age.
00:14:37Here you go.
00:14:40No.
00:14:41You keep it.
00:14:46That kid had survived back then.
00:14:49She'd be about her age, right?
00:14:56Tony!
00:14:58Yeah.
00:15:03You gave $12,000 to some kid off the street?
00:15:06You can't do that, Miss Mercer.
00:15:08What if she was scamming you?
00:15:10She reminded me of my little girl.
00:15:13It's been nine years.
00:15:15If you had moved on, you could have had a child of your own by now.
00:15:21My wedding ring.
00:15:23It's gone.
00:15:24Where is it?
00:15:26It's the only thing Jack left me.
00:15:29Dr. Simon, that $12,000 from the little girl has already been pumped into him.
00:15:33He's stable, but he needs more.
00:15:35A lot more.
00:15:39Dad.
00:15:40I know this is not enough, but please give me more time.
00:15:44I'll get more money for my dad.
00:15:47Kiddo, this is not even close.
00:15:55I'm going to take this.
00:15:56Just save him, please.
00:16:00I'm sorry, Esme.
00:16:02I...
00:16:03I can't take this.
00:16:06The hospital is aware of your case.
00:16:09They'll give you more time.
00:16:12Until you can raise half a million dollars,
00:16:16I'll do everything I can to keep your dad alive.
00:16:28If I sell this ring, maybe you can save dad.
00:16:34That's Miss Mercer's ring.
00:16:36Why do you have it?
00:16:38So you did steal it.
00:16:40Give it back now, you thief.
00:16:42I didn't steal it.
00:16:44Someone gave it to me.
00:16:53Celia, what are you doing?
00:16:54She stole your ring, Miss Mercer.
00:16:59Why do you have my ring?
00:17:01I told you not to trust strangers.
00:17:03She's just a little thief.
00:17:05You didn't steal.
00:17:06Then why do you have my ring?
00:17:08I told her.
00:17:09The man gave it to me.
00:17:11Still lying.
00:17:17Don't, Miss Mercer.
00:17:19I know her type.
00:17:21Help her once and she'll push for more.
00:17:24Do not lay your hands on her again.
00:17:26She's just a child, Celia.
00:17:29Sweetie, listen to me.
00:17:31That ring is really important to me, okay?
00:17:34So, why ever you have it, just give it back to me.
00:17:38Then we can forget about the rest.
00:17:42I have to use it to pay for my dad's surgery.
00:17:46He already gave you money.
00:17:47How much more do you want?
00:17:50More $300,000.
00:17:53What did you say?
00:17:59$500,000.
00:18:02I'll give you the ring for $500,000.
00:18:05This is what happens when a kid grows up without a mother.
00:18:08Miss Mercer, for all we know, her dad's fine, and this is just some sob story to bleed you dry.
00:18:12I'm not lying.
00:18:14My dad's room is just right there.
00:18:16Please, just loan me the money.
00:18:20Save him.
00:18:22All right, I have the money, but I'm not going to give it to you.
00:18:27Look at you.
00:18:29I know that you don't have a mother, but now, girls, you're just a kid.
00:18:36Instead of doing good, you're stealing from people, trying to shake people down.
00:18:41If I give you that money, I'm going to ruin you.
00:18:45Please.
00:18:47Loan me the money, and I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:18:50You know, plotting to steal half a million dollars is extortion.
00:18:53I'm going to call the cops.
00:18:54Enough.
00:18:56What good is threatening a child?
00:19:00You said your dad's in that room, right?
00:19:03I'm going to go talk to him about how he's been raising you.
00:19:17Jack.
00:19:25See, I wasn't lying.
00:19:28My dad's really sick.
00:19:31Please, miss.
00:19:32Don't bother him.
00:19:38I'm giving you your way back.
00:19:41Please.
00:19:43It's not his fault.
00:19:45If he had done that earlier, he wouldn't be here.
00:19:52Why does he feel so familiar?
00:19:54I just need to see his face.
00:20:03Grace.
00:20:05Just tell me.
00:20:06Your father just collapsed.
00:20:10Not right now.
00:20:21I'll find a way.
00:20:24I'll race to my...
00:20:25I promise.
00:20:30Cookies, ma'am?
00:20:33Yes.
00:20:34Cookies?
00:20:36Cookies?
00:20:38Watch it.
00:20:44Mom, did you come save us?
00:20:59Okay.
00:21:04My money.
00:21:06Where is it?
00:21:07It's right here.
00:21:09On a cent missing.
00:21:14You got a fever, kiddo?
00:21:15You need rest.
00:21:17But if I can't save enough, then who's going to save my dad?
00:21:22But if you get sicker, no one can save him.
00:21:29This is from the staff.
00:21:31Everyone here feels for the two of you, and we're trying to help.
00:21:38Thank you, doctor.
00:21:40Thank you, everyone.
00:21:42Dr. Simon, Jack Carter's bleeding out.
00:21:44We need you in surgery now.
00:21:47Jack Carter has been dead for nine years.
00:21:51Grace still can't let him go.
00:21:53I don't know what's gotten into her.
00:22:03Is this your idea of collapsed?
00:22:05If I hadn't said it, you wouldn't have come.
00:22:09Grace, I want you to meet Sebastian Blake.
00:22:11Now, this is the man I've chosen to be your fiancé.
00:22:17As you can see, he's well-bred, he's accomplished.
00:22:20He's a gentleman in every way.
00:22:22Did he forget to mention that I'm over there?
00:22:26Wait.
00:22:29Wait.
00:22:30Miss Mercer.
00:22:32It doesn't matter that you've been married before or that you had a child.
00:22:36If your child were still with you, I'd treat them as my own.
00:22:40To show my sincerity, I brought you a gift.
00:22:51I've sent you flowers, jewelry, everything under the sun.
00:22:56None of it pleased you.
00:22:58Let's skip this guesswork.
00:23:00Take the money, buy yourself what pleases you.
00:23:15Mr. Blake, save this routine for girls who don't know better.
00:23:21Grace, are you blind?
00:23:24Sebastian is everything that that loser wasn't.
00:23:27And he's not six foot under.
00:23:28Are you going to be chained to a corpse?
00:23:30Don't you dare insult him.
00:23:33He is my husband and no one else ever will be.
00:23:39Come on, murderer.
00:23:49You're ignoring me of your mother.
00:23:57Sebastian, I apologize.
00:23:59You should not have seen that.
00:24:01I'll talk some sense into her.
00:24:03I can wait.
00:24:05I've overstepped tonight.
00:24:08I'll take my leave.
00:24:14Unbelievable.
00:24:16Women line up for you.
00:24:17Why keep chasing ice?
00:24:19If it wasn't for the Mercer name and the inheritance, who would bother with a winner?
00:24:24Make way!
00:24:25Make way!
00:24:36Are you blind?
00:24:37You just ran into the Blake air.
00:24:42Dad!
00:24:43You're still running a fever.
00:24:45Let me handle this.
00:24:46I'll take care of your dad.
00:24:48Where do you think you're going?
00:24:49Please move.
00:24:50This patient needs emergency surgery to stop the bleeding.
00:24:52You just slammed into Mr. Sebastian Blake and ruined his shoes.
00:24:58No apology?
00:25:00And you just want to roll out of here?
00:25:02Sir, can you please let us through?
00:25:06My dad's really sick.
00:25:08He's dying.
00:25:09I don't step aside for anyone.
00:25:11And I'm having a lousy day.
00:25:15But, if you clean off my shoe, maybe we'll move.
00:25:20Are you insane?
00:25:22A man's life is worth more than your damn shoes.
00:25:25Worth more?
00:25:27These are limited edition Gucci.
00:25:30They're worth more than your lives.
00:25:32This is a hospital.
00:25:33Human life comes first.
00:25:40Simon Caldwell.
00:25:43You're fired.
00:25:44What?
00:25:45You can't fire me.
00:25:48The Blake family runs every public hospital in this city, including this one.
00:25:55Believe it now?
00:25:58Don't fire Dr. Simon.
00:26:00If you fire him, then no one will save my dad.
00:26:04Oh, pipsqueak, I'll tell you what.
00:26:07I will keep your precious doctor if your dad gets up and wipes my shoes.
00:26:16Sounds fair to me, right?
00:26:20This is ridiculous.
00:26:21He's unconscious.
00:26:22How the hell do you expect him to get up and clean your fucking shoes?
00:26:25Oh, he can't?
00:26:27Oh, maybe his daughter can.
00:26:31She's just a kid.
00:26:32Are you even human?
00:26:33You tell me, doctor.
00:26:43Don't hit Dr. Simon.
00:26:45If I clean your shoes, will you let my dad live?
00:26:50Go ahead.
00:27:11Careful, did your mother ever even teach you how to serve?
00:27:18Watch the shine with all those tears.
00:27:22Pathetic family.
00:27:25Move.
00:27:25Get him to surgery.
00:27:38Shit.
00:27:39God.
00:27:44Close the door.
00:27:45Prep him for surgery.
00:27:48Move.
00:27:50What the hell are you doing?
00:27:52Get out of here!
00:27:54Jack Carter?
00:27:55You're alive?
00:27:56That old bastard Richard lied to me.
00:27:59Enough.
00:28:00Out!
00:28:01You promise?
00:28:02If I clean your shoes, you'd let my dad go.
00:28:05So she's Grace's kid.
00:28:07Father and daughter show up in front of Grace.
00:28:10Mercer fortune slips away.
00:28:12Travis, get him out of here.
00:28:15And spread the word no hospital is to touch him.
00:28:18This is illegal.
00:28:19I'm calling the cops.
00:28:21Go ahead.
00:28:22See if they dare to stop him.
00:28:24You liar.
00:28:25Let my dad go.
00:28:27Oh, you really do look like Grace.
00:28:35Dad!
00:28:36Dad!
00:28:37Dad!
00:28:38Dad!
00:28:48Dad!
00:28:49Pathetic!
00:28:56How much did you spend Thanksgiving together?
00:28:58Somebody help!
00:29:00Help!
00:29:01Please help my dad!
00:29:02Dad!
00:29:04Dad!
00:29:06Dad!
00:29:07Dad!
00:29:08Dad!
00:29:10Dad!
00:29:12Come on mom. You're supposed to be a superwoman.
00:29:16Dad needs you. Please.
00:29:20Hey. Are you okay?
00:29:25Miss. Miss, my dad's dying. Please save him.
00:29:31Honey, I can't just trust you so easily anymore.
00:29:35It's my fault. You should have never taken your ring.
00:29:38And I'm sorry. You're the kindest person I've ever met.
00:29:42Please help my dad. I only have him.
00:29:49Bad people threw my dad out.
00:29:53It's true. He's right here.
00:29:57Please, man.
00:30:00You're just throwing him out like that? It's murder.
00:30:04Sir, can you hear me? Sir.
00:30:17Jack?
00:30:20Jack?
00:30:24Jack?
00:30:25Harry?
00:30:26Wother you?
00:30:27Jack?
00:30:28Carter?
00:30:29The plumber?
00:30:31How have you ever left here?
00:30:33Because I'm Lily Grace Mercer.
00:30:41Okay, Grace. We can't keep doing this. It's too dangerous.
00:30:45Agreed. So we run tonight.
00:30:48It's too dangerous.
00:30:48The plumber?
00:30:51What is it?
00:30:52Hey, I've got you.
00:30:54We'll take you to help.
00:30:55Son?
00:30:56Jack?
00:30:57We've got it.
00:30:58We've got it.
00:31:00I'm leading you.
00:31:01It's the only thing that I know, OK?
00:31:04Grace?
00:31:08Grace?
00:31:09Grace?
00:31:13Jeff?
00:31:16It's really you.
00:31:19Nine years.
00:31:21Where were you if you were alive?
00:31:24Jack, why didn't you come for me?
00:31:28Jack, wake up.
00:31:30Jack, Jack, please wake up.
00:31:32Jack.
00:31:38Miss?
00:31:40Miss?
00:31:42Help!
00:31:48Jack.
00:31:52Jack.
00:31:52Where is he?
00:31:53Jack.
00:31:54Don't be ridiculous.
00:31:55Jack's been dead for nine years.
00:31:58I saw him.
00:32:00I saw him with my own eyes.
00:32:02He's alive.
00:32:04You really are sick.
00:32:06Now listen to me.
00:32:07You need to stay here and rest.
00:32:09For tomorrow you marry Sebastian.
00:32:11That's final.
00:32:13What did you say?
00:32:15You heard me.
00:32:16The invitations are out.
00:32:18And I'm done indulging you.
00:32:20I'm not marrying anyone.
00:32:22I saw Jack. He's alive.
00:32:25He even had a daughter.
00:32:27He'd be my daughter still.
00:32:30I'm going to find him.
00:32:34Hopeless girl.
00:32:36She'll only cry when she sees the coffin.
00:32:42What did you say?
00:32:50Esme.
00:32:52Miss. Thank you for saving my dad.
00:32:55The surgery is over.
00:32:56He's safe now.
00:32:58Esme, can you tell me where your dad is?
00:33:02I was just going to see him.
00:33:04Let's go together.
00:33:09Jack, you're really alive.
00:33:10Nine years.
00:33:11I thought this day would never come.
00:33:14You think I've aged?
00:33:15Did you build a new life without me?
00:33:18Whatever happens, I'm not letting you disappear again.
00:33:22Jennifer.
00:33:28That's not Jack.
00:33:31What's going on? Where's Jack Carter?
00:33:33This is Jack Carter, ma'am.
00:33:35What?
00:33:39The name is right.
00:33:40But not the man.
00:33:41How's that possible?
00:33:45Esme.
00:33:47The man on the bed.
00:33:48It's not your father, is it?
00:33:50Miss, you're hurting me.
00:33:54I just saw Jack.
00:33:57That's not Jack Carter.
00:34:00I don't understand.
00:34:02The man in that bed has always been my dad.
00:34:07Him?
00:34:09He's your father?
00:34:13No.
00:34:14No, I saw him with my own eyes.
00:34:16I can't be wrong.
00:34:17I can't be wrong.
00:34:20What's so impossible?
00:34:24Plenty of men have the same name.
00:34:27You know, I told you.
00:34:28You're not thinking straight.
00:34:30No, I'm perfectly clear.
00:34:32Take her back.
00:34:33She needs to prepare for her wedding with Sebastian.
00:34:41Sir, will you really save my dad?
00:34:43Of course.
00:34:45Help me.
00:34:46Fool Grace.
00:34:47Make her believe that's not your father.
00:34:50And I will get the greatest doctors in the world until he's well.
00:34:56He did everything you asked.
00:34:58Please don't throw us out.
00:35:01I'd be happier if you died.
00:35:03Just paying for his surgery was more mercy than he deserved.
00:35:10You pumps, you liar!
00:35:14First lesson.
00:35:16Promises are for fools.
00:35:19Real power never answers to them.
00:35:25Leave my dad alone!
00:35:28That donkey!
00:35:30Let go!
00:35:31If you're smart, you'll stand on my side for good.
00:35:35Get him out!
00:35:48Just let us know, Dad.
00:35:51No one's coming.
00:35:53What do we do?
00:35:54What do we do?
00:36:15Listen, kid.
00:36:16He's stable for now.
00:36:18But he still hasn't woke up yet.
00:36:20You can't let your guard down.
00:36:23Here.
00:36:24Give him these.
00:36:25As directed.
00:36:28And try to find some place where he can keep his treatment going.
00:36:34Who can I even ask?
00:36:41Esme, I heard your dad was thrown into the hospital.
00:36:45Without treatment.
00:36:47He may never wake up.
00:36:49You need to come with me this time.
00:36:51No.
00:36:52I found no way to keep treating him.
00:36:54Don't lie to me.
00:36:56You crossed the Blake family.
00:36:58They control every hospital in the city.
00:37:01Who's going to take your dad in now?
00:37:03The couple I found have access to a private hospital.
00:37:07They can treat your dad and look after you.
00:37:11It's the best option you've got.
00:37:14I'll be looked after?
00:37:17Myrtha.
00:37:18I found her.
00:37:19I found my mom.
00:37:23Esme?
00:37:25You know, Superwoman's story your dad said was just something he said to make you feel better.
00:37:31Grace Mercer.
00:37:32She's my mom.
00:37:35The Mercer family.
00:37:38Don't joke about that, Esme.
00:37:41It's true.
00:37:42She's the lady who helped me at the hospital.
00:37:46Then...
00:37:47Why is your mom marrying Sebastian Blake tomorrow?
00:37:56Keep lying to me?
00:37:57And I can't help you at all.
00:37:59Pack a bag, Esme.
00:38:01I need to bring you to the foster family.
00:38:04Please.
00:38:05I'll prove it.
00:38:07Tomorrow.
00:38:08I swear.
00:38:09Please.
00:38:11Fine.
00:38:12You get tomorrow.
00:38:14One day.
00:38:16After that, you're coming with me.
00:38:25I missed out.
00:38:26I believe that old liar at the hospital.
00:38:28I'm pulling this Mercer.
00:38:30Dad, you're awake.
00:38:33You can tell Grace Mercer yourself.
00:38:35I'm not a liar.
00:38:36I'm not a thief.
00:38:50you're awake.
00:38:53You can tell Grace Mercer.
00:38:55Get out of here. Now!
00:38:58Don't hurt my dad!
00:39:02Hey! What's the commotion?
00:39:04The boss is gonna be here any minute.
00:39:06Don't be the guy that ruins his daughter's wedding day.
00:39:08It's not my fault.
00:39:10They won't leave.
00:39:22What now?
00:39:23Two beggars. Pausing a scene.
00:39:29Well, handle it. Don't slow down, Grace's wedding.
00:39:32Understood.
00:39:33Are you ready to go inside, sir?
00:39:37What about him? Can he help us?
00:39:40Don't even think about speaking to the Don.
00:39:43Now leave!
00:39:44Leave!
00:39:45I said get out of here, you little twerp!
00:39:49Enough!
00:39:52Mr. Vassalo, they're stirring up trouble.
00:39:54Boss said to keep him out.
00:39:58It's her.
00:39:59The kid from the hospital who looks like Grace.
00:40:03We don't hurt the sick or children.
00:40:08That's the Mercer code.
00:40:10You don't lay a hand on them.
00:40:12Understood?
00:40:13But boss, they said they're here to see Grace.
00:40:16But who knows what they really want.
00:40:18Me and my father came to thank her for what she did for us at the hospital.
00:40:22Please let us see her.
00:40:23Your father?
00:40:29Jackie Conner.
00:40:33He's your dad.
00:40:35Yeah, he's my dad.
00:40:40Kiddo.
00:40:42How old are you?
00:40:44I'm nine years old.
00:40:50All you've ever given her is your poverty and your misery.
00:40:57You dare call that love?
00:40:58You attract my daughter and die!
00:41:02I'm gonna do the same to yours!
00:41:06No!
00:41:08Stop!
00:41:10Grace gave the life of that child.
00:41:13The child will ruin her life!
00:41:14Richard!
00:41:16It's your rule.
00:41:17We don't harm the old.
00:41:20The sick!
00:41:22The child.
00:41:24It's Mary's child.
00:41:28For God's sake, this is your own grandchild!
00:41:31She's innocent.
00:41:36Let the pauper take her.
00:41:40Let them...
00:41:41Let them vent for themselves.
00:41:44If you show your faces anywhere near, Grace...
00:41:48I'll kill the both of you.
00:41:54Grace.
00:41:55Your husband and daughter are here.
00:41:58Come on.
00:42:00I'll take you to Miss Nursery.
00:42:14All right.
00:42:16This is Miss Mercer's room.
00:42:18It's safer if you wait for her here.
00:42:21So big.
00:42:24Sweetheart, it's her wedding day.
00:42:26So it might be a bit before I find her.
00:42:28You wait here with your dad.
00:42:31Thank you so much, Mr. Brassel, for everything you've done for us.
00:42:35May the three of you be a family again.
00:42:52You look like you, Miss Mercer.
00:42:56You can skip the makeup, Miss.
00:42:58Just...
00:42:59Please try to stop crying.
00:43:01Your eyes haven't been dry since yesterday.
00:43:03Yesterday.
00:43:06I've been drowning in tears for nine years.
00:43:12Maybe treat today as a fresh start?
00:43:16A fresh start?
00:43:20My father killed my husband.
00:43:24Oh, the love.
00:43:27He wouldn't even let me see my daughter all this time.
00:43:32He says he wants what's best for me, and yet he's just shoving me at any man who will help
00:43:37him.
00:43:40I don't understand.
00:43:43I can't live.
00:43:45I can't die.
00:43:46I can't even run away.
00:43:49Celia, what kind of fresh start has happened to them?
00:43:55Brass!
00:44:01Dad?
00:44:08Dad?
00:44:09Grace.
00:44:10Dad?
00:44:12Dad?
00:44:23It really is you, Dad.
00:44:27The woman is...
00:44:29Dad?
00:44:31Grace?
00:44:33Mr. Blake, Ms. Mercer hasn't finished her makeup yet.
00:44:36More like she's not ready to marry me.
00:44:40I know it's rushed.
00:44:43Hard on you.
00:44:47But...
00:44:49Here you are.
00:44:51I trained Jack Carter by marrying me.
00:44:55I never agreed to marry you.
00:44:59Look at you.
00:45:02Fire in your eyes.
00:45:04No choices left.
00:45:06But still fighting.
00:45:09God, it almost makes me want to marry you.
00:45:16Who says I don't have a choice?
00:45:18Now that's the grace I adore.
00:45:21Broken, but unbreakable.
00:45:24And guess what?
00:45:25The best is yet to come.
00:45:28What do you mean?
00:45:30Jack Carter and the daughter you thought was dead.
00:45:35They're still alive.
00:45:37I've seen them with my own eyes.
00:45:42What did you say?
00:45:45The man you've always dreamed about is not dead.
00:45:50He's back.
00:45:54Where?
00:45:55Where are they?
00:45:59Marry me, Grace.
00:46:01Say I do.
00:46:02And I'll tell you.
00:46:04Why would I ever trust you?
00:46:07Or die.
00:46:08Take the easy way out.
00:46:09But then you'll never get to see that sweet daughter of yours.
00:46:15Wow, she looks just like you.
00:46:40And take that as a yes.
00:46:46Make it quick.
00:46:47Ceremony's about to start.
00:46:52Darling.
00:46:54I'll be back to collect you later.
00:47:03Jack.
00:47:05Forgive me.
00:47:09Dad?
00:47:10Why do you have a picture of Miss Mercer?
00:47:13You look so young here.
00:47:18I'm gonna go find Miss Mercer and ask her.
00:47:32Miss Mercer.
00:47:35Miss Mercer.
00:47:37Miss Mercer.
00:47:38What are you doing here?
00:47:42I'm sorry.
00:47:43Please forgive me.
00:47:46An old man at the hospital.
00:47:49He said if I tricked you then save my dad.
00:47:52But he broke his promise and got my dad thrown out.
00:47:56Please, please, forgive me.
00:48:00What are you doing with this?
00:48:07How did you get in my room?
00:48:10How do you know my dad?
00:48:12What?
00:48:14The man in the photo.
00:48:15He's my dad.
00:48:17Jack Carter.
00:48:18Stop it.
00:48:19That's me.
00:48:20You already lied to me once.
00:48:22Wasn't that enough?
00:48:24Why won't any of you just leave me alone?
00:48:27If you don't believe me, then I'll bring you to him.
00:48:33Don't you dare touch me.
00:48:36You're a liar.
00:48:43Darling.
00:48:44The ceremony won't wait.
00:48:48The ceremony won't wait.
00:48:51Miss, please.
00:48:52Don't marry him.
00:48:53He's bad.
00:48:54You're hurting me.
00:48:55That's what hurts?
00:48:57You've got no pain yet.
00:49:04Sebastian.
00:49:05Your real pain is yet to come.
00:49:09You can't get hurt in that.
00:49:10Put that dress on.
00:49:17I can't let her marry that man.
00:49:20If she sees Dad, she'll believe me.
00:49:31Oh my god.
00:49:32What is happening?
00:49:34Don Mercer's not even here yet.
00:49:36Are they gonna start without him?
00:49:39They're an hour early.
00:49:44You're a monster.
00:49:48Begin.
00:49:49Do you, Sebastian Blake?
00:49:51Skip that. I do.
00:49:53Grace, do you?
00:49:56Don't forget.
00:49:58I know where Jack is.
00:50:00And your daughter.
00:50:05I...
00:50:07Stop!
00:50:12Don't marry him!
00:50:18Jack.
00:50:21Jack.
00:50:23You're alive.
00:50:26What do you think you're...
00:50:30All of these years, I've waited for you and you never showed up.
00:50:34Grace.
00:50:35Jack.
00:50:36Why won't you talk to me?
00:50:38Do you not want to see me?
00:50:39Of course I want to see you.
00:50:41But I can't wake up.
00:50:43He's been in a coma since the crash.
00:50:45This is my dad.
00:50:47Do you believe me now?
00:50:50If Jack is your father, then you're...
00:50:54Yes.
00:50:55She's your daughter.
00:50:58Our daughter.
00:51:00Your husband is me.
00:51:02Not some half-dead cripple.
00:51:05Are you trying to embarrass me in front of all these people?
00:51:07Wake up.
00:51:08Your wife needs you.
00:51:11Let go of me.
00:51:13Jack is my husband.
00:51:14I'm not marrying you.
00:51:17You're mine.
00:51:31Grace.
00:51:38Grace.
00:51:41Jack.
00:51:42He actually woke up?
00:51:44Dad.
00:51:46You're finally awake.
00:51:48I thought you'd left me forever.
00:51:52My baby.
00:51:54I can never leave.
00:51:57Jack, is...
00:51:59Is she awake?
00:52:02Yes.
00:52:03Grace.
00:52:04She's our...
00:52:05Our daughter.
00:52:07Our princess.
00:52:09Mom?
00:52:11My daughter.
00:52:13You never died.
00:52:16Jack, you're both alive.
00:52:28Get your filthy hands off of my wife!
00:52:34Don't lay a hand on my husband.
00:52:37That is the second time today you've hit me.
00:52:40Both times for him.
00:52:42I guess I've just been...
00:52:44Too polite.
00:52:52She's mine before somebody else tries to make a claim on her.
00:52:57Let go of me.
00:52:58I'm not marrying you.
00:52:59Let go of my mom.
00:53:00Don't touch her.
00:53:02Go to your place, kid.
00:53:06Esme!
00:53:10How dare you lay your hand on a child?
00:53:13So what?
00:53:14She's a bastard.
00:53:15You and I are gonna have our own children.
00:53:18Ones that count.
00:53:21Don't you insult...
00:53:23My daughter.
00:53:25You're actually trying to...
00:53:27Hit me?
00:53:28Cripple?
00:53:29You can hardly...
00:53:31Dad?
00:53:32Dad!
00:53:32Dad!
00:53:35I spared you once at the hospital.
00:53:37I didn't even show up here and try to ruin my wedding.
00:53:39This is our mood.
00:53:43Stop!
00:53:43This is the bastard! Stop!
00:53:46I'll hurt my dad!
00:53:47He's that dirty current!
00:53:48Stop!
00:53:53Soon you'll be gone.
00:53:55I'm worse than I am in you.
00:53:56No choice?
00:53:58No fight.
00:54:06No!
00:54:06No!
00:54:07No!
00:54:09No!
00:54:10Who thought you can spill blood on my property?
00:54:16I wasn't gonna kill him...
00:54:18Yet.
00:54:19This cripple and his little brat dared to crash my wedding?
00:54:23What, am I supposed to have him seated at the head table?
00:54:25I'm not that generous, Don Mercy.
00:54:29Jack Carter?
00:54:31Well, you just won't stay buried, will you?
00:54:37I should never have spared you and the girl at the hospital.
00:54:41You saw them at the hospital and you didn't tell me?
00:54:46You made me think that I was crazy!
00:54:48I wouldn't change a thing.
00:54:51This ends...
00:54:52today.
00:54:59No!
00:55:00No!
00:55:00No!
00:55:01Stop!
00:55:02Please don't hurt my dad!
00:55:05Stop.
00:55:06Don't kill Jack.
00:55:08I'll do it.
00:55:10I'll marry Sebastian.
00:55:17Good.
00:55:18Do it now in front of this cripple.
00:55:20So we'll give up for good.
00:55:22This!
00:55:23No!
00:55:24No!
00:55:25Forgive me.
00:55:27I can't let you die.
00:55:34I...
00:55:36Grace Mercer...
00:55:37take Sebastian Blake...
00:55:39to be my husband.
00:55:49It's done.
00:55:51Let him go.
00:55:54You're right.
00:55:58Because he's useless now.
00:56:01Dad!
00:56:07No, no, no, no, no!
00:56:11He's telling me.
00:56:13Help!
00:56:14Somebody help!
00:56:17Bye.
00:56:19Bye.
00:56:22It's okay.
00:56:23Mom's here.
00:56:27Miss Mercer?
00:56:30Jack.
00:56:31How is he?
00:56:33Don Mercer took him.
00:56:35Nobody knows if he's...
00:56:36alive or not.
00:56:39He can't just leave me like this.
00:56:41Until I see him body,
00:56:43I won't believe he's gone.
00:56:46There's one more thing.
00:56:47The maternity test,
00:56:49it came back conclusive.
00:56:51Esme is your daughter.
00:57:01When did you do this?
00:57:07So...
00:57:07Do you not believe me?
00:57:10Do you not believe I was really your daughter?
00:57:16You call me...
00:57:17A liar.
00:57:19A thief.
00:57:21Even though my dad told you the truth.
00:57:25I lost my dad,
00:57:26and I never heard him wrong.
00:57:27Don't worry.
00:57:28I'll be used to being alone.
00:57:33I'm sorry.
00:57:35I know that I failed you.
00:57:37I wasn't there when you were growing up.
00:57:39I'm sorry.
00:57:39But listen to me.
00:57:42I'm gonna make up for it, okay?
00:57:44Whatever you need,
00:57:45whatever you dream,
00:57:47I'll give it to you.
00:57:49I only have one wish.
00:57:52It's Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad.
00:57:56Together.
00:58:02I'm not leaving you again.
00:58:04I'm gonna find your dad.
00:58:07That's a promise.
00:58:12Mom.
00:58:14Mom.
00:58:16This man.
00:58:19Here.
00:58:22I love you.
00:58:28Don't marry him.
00:58:31Grace.
00:58:33Grace.
00:58:38I'm not dead.
00:58:39You saved me.
00:58:41Don Mercer pulled his shot.
00:58:43It's the only reason why you're still breathing.
00:58:45Mr. Vassar.
00:58:47When you're feeling better,
00:58:49take this and leave the city.
00:58:51Don't come back.
00:58:52What?
00:58:57Where are Grace and Esme?
00:58:59Don't go near them again.
00:59:00You were talking about my wife and my daughter.
00:59:06If you want me gone, you tell me why.
00:59:09You tell me what I'm leaving them for.
00:59:11Jack, remember why you walked away nine years ago.
00:59:14It wasn't fear.
00:59:15You're not a coward.
00:59:17In that delivery room, you learned the truth.
00:59:19Love wasn't enough.
00:59:20Money saved her life, not you.
00:59:24But in the end,
00:59:27you left because you loved her.
00:59:35You're right.
00:59:38I wasn't enough.
00:59:43I couldn't give them the life that they deserved.
00:59:48Don wrecked your leg.
00:59:50But you still worked yourself to the bone,
00:59:53raising that girl alone.
00:59:56You even built this with your own hands.
00:59:58So don't you ever say you weren't enough,
01:00:01making her feel loved,
01:00:02giving her everything you had.
01:00:04That's worth more than any Mercer money.
01:00:11Look.
01:00:13You're a father now.
01:00:17So maybe you can understand why
01:00:20the dawn came down so hard on you back then.
01:00:24You know what's best for a child.
01:00:28All right.
01:00:31I'll leave.
01:00:37I want two things.
01:00:41When danger comes,
01:00:43you call me first.
01:00:48And when Esme is old enough,
01:00:50she hears the truth.
01:00:53My name.
01:00:55What happened?
01:00:59And that I loved her mother.
01:01:02I'm sorry, Jack.
01:01:05You can never come back.
01:01:07It's too dangerous.
01:01:08If trouble comes up,
01:01:09I'll be on guard.
01:01:11And I'll see it off.
01:01:12And in time,
01:01:13as Esme gets older,
01:01:15I'm sure the truth will find her.
01:01:16I get it.
01:01:18I get it.
01:01:19I sure saw it.
01:01:20If Esme is safe with grace.
01:01:23And staying away keeps them safe.
01:01:30That's enough for me.
01:01:39Anything you want to explain?
01:01:42I did this to keep the bloodline intact.
01:01:46And Sebastian agreed you can raise her with him.
01:01:49What more do you want?
01:01:50She's my daughter.
01:01:52Mine.
01:01:53I don't need your permission.
01:01:55And you told me she was dead.
01:01:57And you still haven't told me where you've taken Jack.
01:01:59What, do you want me to thank you?
01:02:02I only ever did this.
01:02:05To do what's best for you.
01:02:07I don't need your thanks.
01:02:09Maybe just a little.
01:02:11Maturity.
01:02:12How am I supposed to hand the family over to you?
01:02:15Why was I born into this family?
01:02:17Rules.
01:02:19Duties.
01:02:20Since I was a kid.
01:02:22I haven't had one happy day.
01:02:24Jack made me feel alive.
01:02:27And you killed him.
01:02:29Over and over again.
01:02:31If mom were here.
01:02:35She would understand me.
01:02:37She would stand by me.
01:02:40Don't bring her into this.
01:02:42I'm a mother now.
01:02:43And I'm telling you this.
01:02:45I will not let my child grow up without a whole family.
01:02:49I will find Jack.
01:02:51Dead or alive.
01:02:52And when I do, you will answer for all of your lies.
01:02:56All of your sins.
01:03:09Maria.
01:03:11My love.
01:03:15How can I wake our daughter?
01:03:20How can I keep her from hating me to my grave?
01:03:41No, no pills. I don't trust them. I'm tired not dying.
01:03:45Don, these are for strength. Take one now. Take another one later tonight.
01:03:50You'll be steady by the end of the week.
01:03:53You can lead this family again.
01:03:56Shouldn't that come from the doctor?
01:03:58What are they?
01:03:59They're experimental.
01:04:03Your doctor is cautious.
01:04:06I'm invested.
01:04:08I want the best for this family.
01:04:09And that's to get you back on your feet.
01:04:19Do it for the family.
01:04:22Do it for Grace.
01:04:34Don's been setting dresses all day.
01:04:36He wants everybody to see how much he values his granddaughter.
01:04:38So now he knows Esme is his granddaughter.
01:04:43Esme, do you like any of these?
01:04:53Baby, do you miss your dad?
01:04:55Every year I asked dad when you were coming back.
01:04:58This year, you came back.
01:05:00And now dad's gone.
01:05:03Maybe the other kids were right.
01:05:05Maybe I'll never have a real Thanksgiving.
01:05:09Don't listen to that.
01:05:10I'm still looking for your dad.
01:05:12I won't stop.
01:05:13What if dad dies?
01:05:15Everyone say he won't make it.
01:05:18Mom, is dad gonna die?
01:05:22Don't believe a word you said.
01:05:26Your dad's a fighter.
01:05:28And I will tear the world apart before I let him die.
01:05:31Okay?
01:05:32Lying to kids is not a good look, Grace.
01:05:35Jack Carter is as good as dead.
01:05:39He was shot in front of everyone.
01:05:42Stop feeding her false hope.
01:05:43A mother should be teaching her children to face reality.
01:05:46You don't get to teach me lessons.
01:05:48Who do you think you are?
01:05:50Your husband.
01:05:52Which makes me Esme's new dad.
01:05:55Esme, darling.
01:05:57I bought you a gift.
01:05:58Can you guess what it is?
01:06:01Here.
01:06:06A tiara.
01:06:10I don't want your gifts.
01:06:14I only want my real dad.
01:06:17Tomorrow is the Thanksgiving charity auction.
01:06:20I'll announce Esme as the face of my Hopewell Foundation.
01:06:26Make sure she's dressed beautifully.
01:06:31The Don signed off on this?
01:06:33The Don handed everything for the auction over to Sebastian.
01:06:37What?
01:06:37I don't know how Sebastian talked him into it.
01:06:39First Sebastian taught him into taking this miracle medication.
01:06:42And now this.
01:06:54I'm the heir.
01:06:56How the hell do I not have access?
01:06:58This is on me.
01:06:59I've been distracted.
01:07:01Sebastian slips right in.
01:07:04Then this means more.
01:07:06And this time I won't lose.
01:07:08What should we do, Miss Mercer?
01:07:11First we need to look at the pills that Sebastian's been giving my father.
01:07:14Find out what they really are.
01:07:17I know a doctor who will help.
01:07:27I know a doctor who can relax my children.
01:07:30That's bad.
01:07:31The doctor will help you.
01:07:31The doctor will help you.
01:07:31Two children will help you.
01:07:40They will help you.
01:07:47The doctor will help me.
01:07:51Esme, you didn't get to take anything with you, it's okay, it's okay, I'll have better
01:08:17clothes, better toys, a better future.
01:08:52You eat well, baby girl, don't be too picky, make sure you tell mom you can't eat peanuts,
01:09:06it's okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I'm just a plumber, and you deserved so much more.
01:09:39Jack, you're leaving, like this, with nothing?
01:09:46Yeah, it's uh, it's just me now, so, traveling light.
01:10:22I'm sorry.
01:10:24I, this was Esme's only wish, to make this real, and we're so close.
01:10:36No, maybe it was never possible.
01:10:44You know, if I'd never met Grace, you wouldn't have us be hurting like this.
01:10:52Don't say that.
01:10:54Love isn't the mistake.
01:10:57We can't fix everything, but don't you want to try, one more time?
01:11:05Martha, come on.
01:11:07I...
01:11:08I...
01:11:08Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
01:11:10The charity auction.
01:11:13I could sneak you in as a cleaner.
01:11:16Just to be in the same room, as close as Esme's wish can get.
01:11:37Uncle Tony, how long are you gonna keep hiding from me?
01:11:40Grace, you gotta stop coming around.
01:11:42I don't know where Jack is, and I'm not gonna help you find him.
01:11:45I'm not here about Jack.
01:11:46I'm here about the family.
01:11:47I need your help.
01:11:50It's bleeding us dry.
01:11:53A hundred million dollars for a charity auction?
01:11:55I checked the books.
01:11:57It's already a cipher in family books.
01:12:00Dean.
01:12:01No, I knew he was scum.
01:12:03I'm going to Don Mercer right now.
01:12:05No.
01:12:07No.
01:12:08He's blinded by Sebastian.
01:12:09He won't believe you, and he won't believe me.
01:12:11We have to expose him before the auction begins.
01:12:15Save the Mercer family from this stage.
01:12:17Not behind closed doors.
01:12:26Richard.
01:12:33It's time for your meds.
01:12:36I hope...
01:12:38Thanks, Sebastian, I feel...
01:12:41And now it will.
01:12:43In fact, I feel god-awful.
01:12:46Maybe later.
01:12:48These'll help.
01:12:50We got that auction tomorrow.
01:12:56Alright.
01:13:01One more show of strength, Frank.
01:13:04I think I have that in me.
01:13:07I think I have that in me.
01:13:12And tomorrow, at the auction?
01:13:18I name you successor.
01:13:23I announce your succession.
01:13:25And the Mercer family.
01:13:28And the Mercer legacy.
01:13:30And the Mercer legacy.
01:13:31Will be yours.
01:13:40Yes.
01:13:50Mom, when can we get away from that bad guy?
01:13:55Don't be scared of Sebastian, okay?
01:13:59I'll protect you and our family.
01:14:02Tonight, everyone will see what he really is.
01:14:05He's going to face the consequences.
01:14:12Dr. Simon!
01:14:13Esme, hey!
01:14:15It's been a while.
01:14:17How's your dad?
01:14:20I don't know where he is.
01:14:23What did you find?
01:14:25That special heart medication looks fine on the label,
01:14:30but I noticed traces of a slow-acting toxin.
01:14:36Long-term cognitive decline,
01:14:39then paralysis and death.
01:14:43So he isn't curing my father.
01:14:45He's poisoning him.
01:14:47I pulled at the thread.
01:14:50It's not his first time.
01:14:55Every case I could document,
01:14:57every falsified medical incident,
01:15:00every abuse of authority,
01:15:04it's all here.
01:15:22What kind of half-assed job is this?
01:15:26I'm sorry.
01:15:28A crippled janitor?
01:15:30On a night like this?
01:15:31You're an eyesore.
01:15:33You even know how to do your job?
01:15:36Get out of here!
01:15:38Travis.
01:15:40What do you think you're doing?
01:15:42Ma'am, I'm sorry the janitor was being useless and mouthy.
01:15:47I was just tossing him out of here.
01:15:49I'm sorry for causing trouble.
01:15:51I'll leave quietly.
01:15:52It's Thanksgiving and he's here working
01:15:54instead of with his family.
01:15:56Cut him some slack.
01:16:02That way?
01:16:05Jack.
01:16:06That's how my dad walks.
01:16:08I knew it.
01:16:09Kid, your dad is my boss.
01:16:13Sebastian Mercer.
01:16:15Not some limping janitor.
01:16:18Wait.
01:16:21Wait.
01:16:23Don't mind, Travis.
01:16:25You can keep working.
01:16:33Christmas.
01:16:36Christmas.
01:16:37My special cookie.
01:16:38Make a wish and take a bite.
01:16:40Happy Thanksgiving, sir.
01:16:43It's your other side.
01:16:45Go on, take it.
01:16:55Thanks.
01:17:00You look just like my dad.
01:17:02I wish you were him.
01:17:04I'm sorry.
01:17:05She just misses her father.
01:17:08We have more cookies to give out.
01:17:10We can get back to work.
01:17:12Travis, door duty.
01:17:14Me?
01:17:14But...
01:17:15Sebastian can throw his last name around all he wants,
01:17:18but you, your justice assistant.
01:17:21You can swallow a little pride.
01:17:22Come on.
01:17:38Grace.
01:17:41Just hearing your voice keeps me alive.
01:17:45Grace.
01:17:50Grace.
01:17:52Just hearing your voice keeps me alive.
01:17:53Seeing you with your mom, knowing you're safe.
01:17:56That's all I needed.
01:18:02Jack Carter?
01:18:06Mr. Frisola, I'm not here for both of them.
01:18:09I just needed one more look.
01:18:11And tonight, Jack, if you stay, you'll ruin everything for her, for Esme, for yourself.
01:18:21Go.
01:18:22Now.
01:18:25Are Grace and Esme in danger?
01:18:29Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:32My name is Sebastian Mercer, and tonight is about the rebirth of this family.
01:18:41Sebastian Mercer?
01:18:44A plague throwing away his name for hers.
01:18:47For the auction of yours.
01:18:49Mercer's are worth more than the Blakes.
01:18:51Word is that Don Mercer is going to call him his heir tonight.
01:18:55For the first time.
01:18:56That's true.
01:18:56The name change paid off.
01:18:58Please join me in welcoming the future of the Mercer family legacy.
01:19:05And my daughter, Esme Mercer.
01:19:21Esme, don't be shy.
01:19:23Come on out.
01:19:24Daddy's out here.
01:19:25My dad's name is Jack Carter, and he's the only dad I'll ever have.
01:19:30What the hell?
01:19:31Where is she?
01:19:33Where's Grace?
01:19:34Grace?
01:19:46Take your real name back, Sebastian Blake.
01:19:49You'll never be a Mercer.
01:19:55Take your real name back, Sebastian Blake.
01:19:58You'll never be a Mercer.
01:20:01See?
01:20:05Excuse me.
01:20:08Grace.
01:20:09Grace, I know you've had your face in the books.
01:20:12I'm the head of this family now.
01:20:15You and that little brat of yours will not live until tomorrow.
01:20:21Do you think that slapping on my last name, hijacking our systems, and psyching our assets
01:20:27meets your boss?
01:20:28Don Mercer never named you the heir.
01:20:30I am the successor.
01:20:32So you can either walk away or crawl later.
01:20:38I apologize, ladies and gentlemen.
01:20:40My wife is not feeling well.
01:20:43She's not going to be able to participate in the evening tonight, but I'll just take her
01:20:47to get some rest.
01:20:50Dr. Simon?
01:20:52Miss Grace is perfectly fine.
01:20:55What's next, Sebastian?
01:20:57Another forged chart?
01:21:00The Blake heir who runs every hospital here isn't saving lives.
01:21:07He's ending them.
01:21:15Oh my god.
01:21:16These case files say he's staged malpractice.
01:21:19People die.
01:21:20And organ trafficking?
01:21:22Look.
01:21:22Blake's money is behind all these farmers.
01:21:25The toxins are getting into private clinic.
01:21:27Even Don Mercer was dosed.
01:21:29Sebastian Blake, you're a murderer.
01:21:34Don't buy any of this.
01:21:36It's all a fabrication.
01:21:38It's convenient, isn't it?
01:21:40If I were in jail, there'd be no one to share.
01:21:44The Mercer inheritance.
01:21:45Nice try, Grace.
01:21:47Travis.
01:21:55Don Mercer.
01:21:56I'm worried to transfer all his shares to me.
01:21:59Added to what I already have.
01:22:01That gives me 51%.
01:22:05Grace.
01:22:06Sweetheart.
01:22:08Listen to your husband stand down.
01:22:13You can't do it.
01:22:14That doesn't count.
01:22:16Do you want to piss off the head of the Mercer family right now?
01:22:22I'm not dead yet.
01:22:32No one raises their voice, my daughter.
01:22:35Not here.
01:22:36Not ever.
01:22:53You haven't called me that for a long time.
01:22:57Sebastian!
01:22:58When you begged to marry my daughter, I knew you didn't love each other.
01:23:04They were pushed for it.
01:23:06Because families don't marry for love.
01:23:08They marry for leverage.
01:23:10That's how it's always been.
01:23:12But I did not expect you to bring us down into the filth!
01:23:17You sucked us dry.
01:23:20You almost killed me.
01:23:21If you wanted to kill me, you'd use the Mercer's as your cash wash.
01:23:30And Esme, you planned to use my granddaughter as the face of your fake foundation.
01:23:37You made orphans pay for your schemes.
01:23:42And you wanted my granddaughter to be your boss.
01:23:48Just die off!
01:23:50Oh, man!
01:23:54Drop the gun.
01:23:56From now on, I'm the Mercer family.
01:24:01Think, Jack.
01:24:02Don't let him win.
01:24:08There.
01:24:13Grace.
01:24:15Did you hate this old man?
01:24:18Did you forget about when he killed Jack Carter?
01:24:23What?
01:24:24Is this a funeral that stayed used to you and now you're daddy's little girl again?
01:24:28You're so pathetic!
01:24:36Come on.
01:24:38Turn, damn it.
01:24:49You do not talk to my daughter like that.
01:24:54And also, Jack Carter is alive.
01:24:59Jack's...
01:25:00Jack's alive.
01:25:01I drove him away again.
01:25:03I didn't want you living in poverty.
01:25:06I was wrong, Grace.
01:25:08I was so wrong.
01:25:10My pride almost ruined your life.
01:25:13But when this is all over,
01:25:16I'll bring Jack back myself.
01:25:18Don't come on, boss.
01:25:20I should have given you my blessing nine years ago.
01:25:23We wouldn't have suffered all these years.
01:25:29I'll tell you what.
01:25:31I will host your wedding myself.
01:25:42I will host your wedding myself.
01:25:44If you live that long.
01:25:46He said it's...
01:25:48It's night.
01:26:00What the hell?
01:26:21Get off me.
01:26:23What a lawyer.
01:26:24I'm innocent.
01:26:25He tried to kill me with that chandelier.
01:26:28Looks like self-defense to me.
01:26:29Okay, now move it.
01:26:33Are you okay?
01:26:34I'm okay.
01:26:35Are you scared?
01:26:36No.
01:26:41Grace!
01:26:44Dad!
01:26:45Dad!
01:27:02I got the chandelier down at time, didn't I?
01:27:03I got the chandelier down at time, didn't I?
01:27:15I got the chandelier down at time, didn't I?
01:27:16To save your dad from me, Sean.
01:27:21Don't wait.
01:27:23I can't.
01:27:25He loves you.
01:27:27Yeah.
01:27:27And he would do anything for you.
01:27:29The same as I would do anything for Esme.
01:27:35I heard him.
01:27:37He finally said yes to us.
01:27:48Don't ever leave me again.
01:27:52Three of us.
01:27:54No more good pies.
01:27:56Okay.
01:27:59Okay.
01:28:00Yeah.
01:28:05Yeah.
01:28:26Nice money.
01:28:27Yes, dad.
01:28:34So what?
01:28:35We can't afford staff anymore?
01:28:37It's Thanksgiving.
01:28:39The staff should pay their families, too.
01:28:41She's right.
01:28:43Jesus.
01:28:46Hey.
01:28:48What?
01:28:49Why didn't you let me come and get you?
01:28:51I'm fine.
01:28:53You're all so busy.
01:28:54If I don't pitch in, I'll feel useless.
01:28:57I don't want to see.
01:29:05Hey.
01:29:09We missed Thanksgiving last year.
01:29:13This time, we're all together.
01:29:16Let's eat.
01:29:17This is the happiest day of my life.
01:29:20I finally get Thanksgiving with mom and dad.
01:29:23Grandpa's getting stronger.
01:29:25Mr. Vasello says I might have a baby brother, or maybe a sister.
01:29:28Why not both?
01:29:30I can't wait for next year with everyone here again.
01:29:35My wish came true.
01:29:36Now I wish for everyone else to have a happy Thanksgiving, too.
