Five years ago, she lost everything—her freedom, her child, and the man she loved. Framed, betrayed, and forced out of his life, she could only watch as another woman stole her place and claimed her child as her own.
Now she's back, stronger than ever. When fate brings her face-to-face with a powerful CEO and the little boy who should have been hers, shocking secrets begin to unravel. The child senses a connection no one can explain and boldly declares the truth: "Daddy, this is my real mommy!"
As hidden identities are exposed and old betrayals come to light, a mother's fight to reclaim her child becomes a battle against lies, greed, and family conspiracies. Can true love survive years of deception, or is it already too late?
This emotional short drama features secret babies, mistaken identities, family reunions, revenge, redemption, and a heartwarming CEO romance. Similar storylines in popular mini-dramas often revolve around a mother returning years later to reclaim her stolen child and reveal the truth behind a family conspiracy.

00:04Let's all congratulate Ella Reed on getting into Bell Academy as the top student!
00:12I've had way too much to drink. I should head back or the director will worry.
00:22He's going to kill him at this rate!
00:28No, I can't just do nothing.
00:36What are you doing?!
00:39I already called 911!
00:46Sir? Sir, wake up!
00:49Hey! Sir, don't scare me! Wake up!
00:54Ugh!
00:59This hotel seems to be just across the street?
01:11Sir, are you in shock?
01:14You need mouth to mouth!
01:30Good girl, you saved me. Now, allow me to... serve you.
01:41I'm here!
01:44I'm here!
01:56I'm here!
02:04I was drugged tonight, and my enemies almost finished me off.
02:08You saved me, and I owe you one.
02:22Oh no! I slept with a stranger last night?
02:25It's already morning. I have to rush back to the orphanage.
02:35I'm really sorry, Dean. Last night I...
02:37Ella, your real parents are here to take you home.
02:58I grew up in an orphanage, but I never imagined my real parents are the rich Hales.
03:03Thank you for taking me in.
03:06We only brought you back for Serena.
03:13She ran over and killed a homeless guy last night, and you're gonna take the fall for her.
03:19She ran over and killed a homeless guy last night, and you're gonna take the fall for her.
03:25No! You can't do this!
03:28She's the one who ran someone over, so she should take the blame.
03:33I don't want a family like this!
03:38Stop right there!
03:39You're nothing but gutter trash from the slums!
03:43How dare you talk back to us!
03:51That's the Blackwood family crest pendant.
03:53How'd she get this?
03:54Does she know someone from the Blackwoods?
03:59Everything you have will be mine!
04:01Give it back to me!
04:02You can refuse to help us, but...
04:04Can you just abandon your dear Dean Carter and all the kids in the orphanage?
04:09What do you mean?
04:10It's simple.
04:12If you don't take the fall for Serena, your orphanage closes down forever.
04:17Margaret Carter and those kids will keep their mouths shut forever.
04:31Miss Ella Reed, you're under arrest.
04:34You were speeding last night and killed a homeless man.
04:37I have to keep Dean Carter and the kids safe.
04:39I did it. I'm guilty.
05:03Good evening everyone. I'm Xavier Blackwood.
05:07I'm here looking for the lady who helped me last night.
05:09It was me! I've got your family crest pendant.
05:13I didn't get a good look at her last night, but...
05:15Something about this woman just doesn't feel right.
05:17I can give you a cash check, or I'll hook you up with a job at Blackwood Group.
05:23No.
05:24I don't want any of that.
05:26I want to marry you and be Mrs. Blackwood.
05:31Ella Reed, your confession and paperwork are all done.
05:34You should be heading to prison right now, but there's been a change of plans.
05:39What's wrong?
05:40You're pregnant.
05:41Before you went to prison.
05:49You're pregnant.
05:51Before you went to prison.
05:57That night, when I helped that stranger, we were having a child.
06:04Under federal law, we can't lock up a pregnant woman right away.
06:08The court has changed your sentence to probation with monitoring.
06:12You'll serve your five-year term after you have the baby.
06:15Do you agree?
06:18I agree.
06:23I got out of prison six years later.
06:26But my baby developed severe pneumonia the day he was born, and died from shock.
06:31From now on, I'll face life, all by myself.
06:35I had nowhere to go, and I couldn't face Dean Carter.
06:39So I ended up working odd jobs at a downtown bar.
06:43Fresh roof beer, sir.
06:45Would you like a dozen?
06:53If you come with me tonight, I'll buy all these beers.
06:58Sorry.
06:59We don't offer that kind of service here.
07:02You bitch!
07:03How dare you turn me down?!
07:13Mr. Blackwood, I had no idea this girl was yours.
07:20Thank you, sir.
07:27Have... have we met somewhere before?
07:32Sir, you must be mistaken. We've never met.
07:43Then why do I feel like I know your body so well?
07:53Daddy!
08:01Time to go home. It's our puzzle time.
08:06Who is she? Why do I feel so close to her and want her to hold me?
08:11Sure, baby.
08:14But I want to know who brought you to a place like this.
08:19Ella's out of prison already?
08:22How did she end up with Xavier, that bitch?
08:26Sorry, Xavier. The boy missed you so much I had to bring him to you.
08:29Ethan, let's go home!
08:32I want to go home with Daddy, not Serena.
08:36After the paternity test, I told you I'd take care of Ethan.
08:39But I can't marry you like you want.
08:42If you ever use him missing me to bring him to a dump like this again,
08:45you'll be sorry.
08:47How could you do this to me? I saved you back then!
08:49Get out of here.
08:51Or I'll ask the court for a restraining order keeping you away from Ethan.
09:02Wait!
09:04What is it?
09:05Daddy, you said I still need a tutor.
09:11I want her to be my tutor.
09:15That Tramp's the one who got Xavier yelling at me?
09:18She always steals everything from me.
09:21Ethan's just a little ungrateful trapped.
09:25Just you wait.
09:26I'll make you two regret it for the rest of your lives.
09:31Of course.
09:32You get to pick your own tutor.
09:34But we have to ask this lady first, okay?
09:38Hi, Miss. What's your name, please?
09:41I'm Ella Reed.
09:43Just call me Ella.
09:45Ella? Will you be my tutor?
09:52I...
09:53Miss Reed, let me introduce myself.
09:54I'm Xavier Blackwood, founder of Blackwood Group.
09:58I can pay you really well, with room and board included.
10:01All you have to do is take care of Ethan.
10:04Will you take the job?
10:05A job to get me out of this bar?
10:07Of course I'll take it.
10:09I accept.
10:22Ethan, you're such a little genius.
10:25If my baby hadn't gotten sick and passed away,
10:28he'd be just as cute and energetic as Ethan right now.
10:31Ella, I really wish you were my real mom.
10:37This place never felt like home before.
10:43Ethan seems quite attached to you.
10:46Come on. Good night, Xavier.
10:50Brush me off with a good night, huh?
10:52Your eyes betray you, Ella.
10:54They always do.
11:08I could help you more, if you'd let me.
11:19Haven't we met somewhere before?
11:27I... I don't know.
11:29Sorry, I shouldn't have asked something like that.
11:45You feel so familiar to me.
11:48Like we've been close like this before.
11:53Be good.
11:54Don't lose focus.
12:03Xavier and I click so well.
12:05But why does he keep asking if we've met before?
12:09I don't want to be someone's replacement.
12:14Come on, Ella. Quit thinking about it.
12:18You need to take good care of Ethan.
12:21Ella! You ready to go to the supermarket?
12:25Ready!
12:35Ready!
12:43It's him.
12:45That's Xavier Blackwood's son.
12:47Take him.
12:49Who are you?
12:50What are you doing?
12:51I'm calling the police!
13:03Ethan!
13:04Ethan, run!
13:09No!
13:12Either way, the job's done.
13:15Please!
13:16No!
13:26Are you hurt?
13:32Call an ambulance and you hurry, Ethan!
13:43Ethan!
13:45Ethan!
13:45Ethan, hold on!
13:46Please be okay!
13:48Ethan, hold on!
13:50Hold on, Ethan!
13:51Please!
13:56How are you?
13:57How are you?
14:00He'll be okay.
14:13He's got rare type P blood.
14:15We don't have enough in the blood bank.
14:17We need a transfusion right away.
14:19I do!
14:20I have type P blood.
14:21I can donate!
14:22Push yourself!
14:27I've got blood stored for Ethan.
14:28I'll get it here right away.
14:30Okay.
14:30Time is urgent.
14:31Just take my blood first.
14:36Don't worry.
14:37I've already brought in the backup.
14:43Well?
14:44Can my blood go to Ethan first?
14:45I'm sorry, miss.
14:50The pre-op tests show your blood and Ethan's having a normal antibody reaction.
14:57What... what do you mean?
14:59It means you two are blood relatives.
15:02Chances are, you're his real mom.
15:17I'm Ethan's birth mother, but my baby died when I was put in jail.
15:25What about my baby? How is he?
15:29You should be ashamed of yourself, Ella.
15:31You got pregnant out of wedlock and brought shame on this family.
15:36How dare you even ask about that kid?
15:41What exactly happened to him?
15:44He's dead.
15:45He came down with severe pneumonia, went into shock from a high fever and died.
15:56Could my baby still be alive?
15:58Did Serena steal my baby?
16:02Ella is Ethan's biological mother?
16:04That means the woman who saved me that night six years ago was Ella?
16:08That's complete nonsense!
16:10Ethan is my son. I gave birth to him.
16:13How can he possibly be hers?
16:15Xavier, you already took Ethan from me?
16:18Are you going to take away being his mom too?
16:20But the lab results show something off.
16:22Their blood samples have an abnormal antibody reactant.
16:25Shut up! It only proves she's bad luck.
16:27Ella, her blood can't be used for my son.
16:30Xavier, how could you hire someone like her to teach Ethan?
16:34She's a murderer who did time.
16:41She's a murderer who did time.
16:46What? Ella was in prison?
16:48How do you know that?
16:52I...
16:53How I ended up a convicted murderer, you know better than anyone, don't you?
17:00What's really going on here?
17:10Boss, we've rounded up all the extra type P blood bags.
17:21Your baby never died.
17:24You gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
17:28Don't you want to know where he is?
17:31What?
17:32My baby's alive?
17:34Where is he?
17:37You want to know?
17:40Nothing in this world is free.
17:45If you want your baby, you'll have to pay for it.
17:47What do you want?
17:48I want you to...
17:50If I just tell her to stay away from Xavier,
17:53he'll track her down right away with his connections.
17:56I could end up exposed, too.
17:59I need a different plan.
18:01I want you to keep your mouth shut.
18:04Don't you dare tell Xavier about taking the fall for me.
18:10And you owe me a million bucks.
18:14Are you crazy?
18:15How am I supposed to come up with that much money?
18:17That's not my problem.
18:19Beg.
18:19Do whatever you have to.
18:22If I don't get a million bucks in a week,
18:24you'll never find your son.
18:27Fine.
18:32Ella?
18:33What were you two talking about just now?
18:39We...
18:41I have to find out where my baby is.
18:43It's nothing.
18:47I'm sorry, Mr. Blackwood.
18:48I didn't tell you the whole truth
18:50when you hired me to tutor Ethan.
18:53I spent six years in prison because...
18:56It's okay.
18:57I never asked,
18:58and you don't have to tell me.
19:00Everyone's got a past.
19:02And besides, you're great with Ethan.
19:04That's all that matters.
19:06How's Ethan doing?
19:07Did the extra blood bags get delivered?
19:08The doctors operated on him.
19:10He'll be fine soon.
19:11Those kidnappers are useless.
19:14Can't even get rid of that bastard kid.
19:16Thank God he's okay.
19:20I would have never forgiven myself
19:21if something happened to him.
19:23You should be thanking yourself.
19:24You risked your own life to save Ethan.
19:27That bitch putting on that innocent,
19:29pitiful act to seduce Xavier.
19:31Xavier, when can I see Ethan?
19:33I'm so worried about him.
19:35Is that so?
19:38If Ella hadn't just brought him up,
19:40I think he would have forgotten
19:41all about Ethan long ago.
19:42How could I?
19:43He's my own son.
19:44He just went through kidnapping
19:45and a car accident.
19:48Of course I'm worried as his mother.
19:50I just...
19:50No one just said anything about a kidnapping,
19:53and I've kept his injury a total secret.
19:55How did you know
19:56he got kidnapped first
19:59and then had the accident?
20:02How did you know he got kidnapped first
20:04and then had the accident?
20:07I...
20:08I just guessed.
20:10After all,
20:11Ethan's been kidnapped before
20:13for being a Blackwood.
20:15This isn't over.
20:17You better pray
20:18you really had nothing to do with this.
20:19I...
20:20I'll have someone bring you to see Ethan
20:22once he wakes up.
20:23Until then,
20:24he needs to rest.
20:25You may leave now.
20:29A million.
20:30Where am I going to get a million bucks?
20:33Ask Mr. Blackwood
20:34for an advance on my salary?
20:37But I don't make nearly that much.
20:40Ella?
20:41You okay?
20:42You look really pale.
20:43Do you want me to get a doctor?
20:44It's nothing.
20:45I'm just a little tired.
20:46I'm sorry I got here so late
20:47and put you through all that.
20:49I'll stay here with Ethan
20:50until he wakes up.
20:51You can come see him then.
20:59Xavier said Ethan's getting better.
21:03I'll sign the loan papers tomorrow.
21:05Then go see him.
21:08Watch out!
21:10You hurt?
21:12No, I'm fine.
21:14Thank you, Xavier.
21:14There's no need to thank me.
21:22There's no need to thank me.
21:32Xavier, slow, slow down.
21:47Kidding, you gonna scratch me now?
21:50I, I didn't.
21:52Real naughty.
21:53Time for a punishment.
21:58Xavier?
21:59Hey, Xavier.
22:02How about you take the lead for once?
22:04Good girl.
22:06Keep going.
22:19You must be Miss Reed.
22:20Yes, it's me.
22:22Is this where I can apply for a large loan?
22:23Yep.
22:24No tricks.
22:25Sign the contract
22:26and we'll give you the cash right now.
22:30Perfect.
22:31With this money,
22:31I'll finally find my baby.
22:40Boss, Miss Reed is inside.
22:50Weird.
22:51Why isn't Ella picking up?
22:53Track Ella's phone.
22:54Yes.
23:01Daddy, is Ella busy?
23:03Did she get hurt saving me so she doesn't want to see me?
23:08Of course not.
23:10Of course not.
23:10Ella cares about you a lot.
23:11She'll come see you soon.
23:13I miss her so much.
23:15It might sound strange, but I can't help feeling like Ella is my real mom.
23:20Why do you say that, Ethan?
23:21I feel so close and familiar with her.
23:24She's nothing like Serena.
23:26I feel that same familiarity with Ella, too.
23:30Could I have mistaken someone else for her that night six years ago?
23:33Boss, Miss Reed's phone is pinging an abandoned garage out in the middle of nowhere.
23:36What?
23:38Why would she go there?
23:44Boss, that abandoned garage is run by a dangerous gang.
23:47They trick people into borrowing money,
23:49then force them to sign fake organ donation forms and sell their organs.
23:53Round up the men now.
23:54We're going after Ella.
23:55Right now.
24:02What are you doing?
24:04Idiot!
24:04You can't even handle a woman.
24:06Grab her now!
24:24Let go of me!
24:30Help!
24:31No!
24:32No!
24:32Someone help!
24:41Let her go!
24:45Don't anybody move!
24:46Come any closer and I'll strangle her!
24:49Xavier!
24:50Don't you dare move!
24:53Name your price.
24:54Any amount.
24:54I'll pay it right away.
24:55Just let her go.
24:56Now!
24:57Get me three million bucks.
24:59And a car.
25:00Now!
25:00Do as he says.
25:10Ella?
25:11Ella?
25:12Toss these creeps to the cops.
25:13I'm taking Ella to the hospital now!
25:16Xavier?
25:17Are you there?
25:19It's Serena.
25:20I don't want to see her.
25:22I'll just fake sleep.
25:24Ethan?
25:25You asleep?
25:31That little bastard Ella had will never get me to be Lady Blackwood.
25:34Should have just let you rot in prison if I'd known.
25:39I'm really Ella's child?
25:45I-I'm really Ella's child?
25:48I only called you my son to get close to Xavier.
25:51You were just my tool to get ahead.
25:59Hello?
26:00It's you?
26:01How dare you call me asking for more cash?
26:03I told you to kidnap that little brat earlier.
26:05And you couldn't even handle a woman and a kid.
26:08If it weren't for you useless losers, I'd have everything I wanted by now!
26:13Serena sent people to kidnap me.
26:16She's not my real mom.
26:17She wants me dead!
26:22What are you doing here?
26:23I-I came to check on Ethan.
26:25I heard he woke up, so-
26:26He needs to rest.
26:26We don't need you here.
26:27Get out.
26:27Just wait till I take out Elle and that will be mine before long.
26:30I'll come back when he's feeling better.
26:31Xavier, it's been so long.
26:32Don't you want to catch up with me?
26:34It seems you never took my warnings to heart.
26:35I'm getting a restraining order right now to keep you away from Ethan.
26:38You come near me again, and I'll make the entire family pay.
26:49Boss, Miss Reed is awake.
27:07Ella, where are you going?
27:08I-I have to go out.
27:09Xavier, please let me out of the hospital!
27:11You've just been through a terrible shock.
27:13The doctor says you need to rest.
27:15Whatever it is, I can handle it for you.
27:17If Xavier finds out I had a kid before, will he still treat me this well?
27:21Will he still let me stay and be Ethan's tutor?
27:24Ella, you don't trust me very much, do you?
27:28Is there something you can't tell me?
27:31It's just personal.
27:33Personal?
27:36Tell me, what's so personal that you'd sell your own organs just to get a million bucks?
27:43How did you find out?
27:44You're still worrying about this?
27:47Do you have any idea how close I came to losing you today?
27:51I'm sorry, Xavier.
27:53Now tell me, what exactly were you going to do?
28:00Money.
28:01I want the money.
28:02If you can give me a million bucks, I'll do anything!
28:13Money.
28:14Money.
28:14I need the money.
28:17If you can give me a million bucks, I'll do anything.
28:22Listen, you know I'd help you with anything.
28:28But you shouldn't have risked your life like this.
28:31I...
28:31That million bucks almost got you killed.
28:34Or would you have said the same thing to any other man?
28:44If he could give you a million bucks, you'd do anything for him too, wouldn't you?
28:48No, it's not like that.
28:56Yeah?
28:57Then prove it to me.
28:59Xavier, don't do this.
29:00We...
29:00The million bucks you want, I'll have it ready for you.
29:03Now keep your promise.
29:06If this is what you want, then I'll do as you wish.
29:18Xavier.
29:20Xavier.
29:20It hurts.
29:21Please slow down.
29:27You always know just how to melt my heart.
29:34Make Xavier my money.
29:38Is that really all you have to say to me?
29:40I...
29:41I just...
29:50If you have nothing else to say, here's the million you wanted.
29:52Plus all your pay for taking care of Ethan these days.
30:04Are you sending me away?
30:07You're never honest with me.
30:09I guess you don't want to be around someone who makes you this uncomfortable, right?
30:17It doesn't matter.
30:18Right now, I just need to find my child.
30:27Why do I go crazy and act so unlike myself whenever it's about Ella?
30:36Daddy, where's Ella?
30:38She has her own stuff to deal with.
30:41What stuff?
30:42Daddy, you have to bring Ella here.
30:45I've got something important to tell both of you.
30:47Ethan's just like me.
30:49He can't bear to be without Ella either.
30:50But in her heart, I'm guessing we two don't really mean anything at all.
30:54Enough, Ethan.
30:56Stop being silly.
30:57Ella isn't coming back.
30:59She's leaving for good.
31:00Why does she have to go?
31:02How could she leave me?
31:04Why can't she?
31:06Ella is my real mom!
31:10What did you say, Ethan?
31:12I get how much you love Ella, but your birth mother is Serena.
31:15No!
31:16I pretended to sleep when Serena showed up.
31:19And I heard her on the phone.
31:22I'm Ella's kid.
31:24And she's out to get revenge on her!
31:32I'm Ella's kid.
31:34And she's trying to hurt her!
31:37She's the one who had me kidnapped last time.
31:42So Ella's also from the Hale family.
31:44She just never went back.
31:46And all this time, Serena's been enjoying everything that should be hers.
31:50Daddy, I'm telling the truth.
31:52Please don't let mom leave.
32:00Ella, I'm so sorry.
32:01I was wrong.
32:02I should have recognized you earlier.
32:04Ella.
32:05Now, track Ella's phone right now.
32:13Where are you?
32:15I've got the money.
32:16I'm coming to you.
32:17Fine.
32:17You'll definitely get to see your son.
32:27Typical of you.
32:28Ella Reed.
32:29How did you come up with all this money?
32:31Let me guess.
32:32Did you sell yourself at a bar?
32:34Or did you go beg Xavier for it?
32:41Xavier can't stand gold diggers the most.
32:44Once you asked him for cash, he'll never care about you again.
32:47So what?
32:47Take these million bucks and tell me right now.
32:50Where is my child?
32:54You fool.
32:56Your child has been right by your side this whole time.
33:00What did you say?
33:02Your child is Ethan Blackwood.
33:07Your child is Ethan Blackwood.
33:12Ethan is my child?
33:17Ella, I really wish you were my real mom.
33:23No wonder.
33:25No wonder he's always been so close to me.
33:28We're mother and son.
33:30So the guy from that night six years ago was Xavier, wasn't he?
33:34Ella, wait.
33:36Please.
33:37I'm sorry for being so arrogant.
33:39Don't get there.
33:40Just don't get hurt, please.
33:43Exactly.
33:44The guy you saved that night?
33:46It's Xavier Blackwood.
33:49He handed you his family crest pendant.
33:52And you, you idiot, didn't even know what it was worth.
33:56So you took my pendant and you took my place.
34:02Exactly.
34:03But I never thought Xavier would never marry me no matter what.
34:07It's all your fault.
34:08As soon as you're dead, I'll be Mrs. Blackwood.
34:12What are you trying to do?
34:14Someone.
34:26Let go of me, Serena!
34:28If you kill me, Xavier will never let you get away with this!
34:34I know full well you asked him for cash and had a huge fight with him.
34:38My guy at the hospital already told me everything.
34:47He's not coming for you.
34:49Drink this and go straight to hell.
34:52Xavier, Ethan, I'm sorry.
34:57I'll see you in heaven.
35:01Serena!
35:02Let go of my Ella!
35:05Serena, get your hands off my Ella!
35:10Xavier?
35:12How the hell did you find us?
35:16Xavier?
35:18Don't be scared, Ella.
35:19I'm here.
35:21I'm getting you out of this.
35:22I promise.
35:24Xavier, why is that Trank the only one you ever see?
35:26I'm the Hale heiress.
35:27I'm the one who deserves you.
35:28I never loved you.
35:30And your jealousy sure as hell doesn't give you the right to hurt Ella!
35:34So what?
35:35She's mine right now.
35:36I can end her whenever I want.
35:48Don't touch her!
35:50Why do you care so damn much?
35:52Just because you two hooked up?
35:54Enough.
35:55I'm done going back and forth with you.
35:57What's it going to take for you to let Ella go?
36:00Let her go?
36:01And who's going to let me off the hook?
36:04Nobody ever gave a damn about me!
36:06No!
36:08Xavier, have you already forgotten how greedy and money-hungry this woman is?
36:12How could you fall for her?
36:14How could you let her raise our child?
36:17You're still trying to lie to me?
36:19I already know.
36:20Ethan isn't yours.
36:22He's Ella's.
36:23That's impossible.
36:25Xavier, you saw the paternity test yourself!
36:27Ethan told me myself.
36:33Ethan told me himself.
36:36Ethan told you he's not my kid?
36:38That's insane!
36:39I swear to God I went through hell to bring that child into this world!
36:43Really?
36:44You seem to have forgotten what you said when you went to the hospital to get rid of Ethan.
36:48That little bastard Ella had will never get me to be Lady Blackwood!
36:52Should have just let you rot in prison if I'd known!
36:54I only called you my son to get close to Xavier.
36:58You were just my tool to get ahead.
37:06Hello?
37:07It's you?
37:08How dare you call me asking for more cash?
37:10I told you to kidnap that little brat earlier!
37:12And you couldn't even handle a woman and a kid!
37:15If it weren't for you useless losers, I'd have everything I wanted by now!
37:20But Ethan wasn't asleep.
37:22He heard every word.
37:24And now, so do I.
37:26I'm gonna make you pay for everything you've done, Serena.
37:30Make me pay?
37:32Then I'll drag this bitch to hell first!
37:34No, don't!
37:35Just calm down!
37:36Whatever you want, we can talk about it!
37:38Fine, you want her alive so badly?
37:42Then marry me.
37:50Fine, you want her alive so badly?
37:55Then marry me.
37:57Make me Mrs. Blackwood today, and Ella lives.
38:02Simple as that.
38:04Call your assistant right now.
38:06Have him post an announcement on the Blackwood family's official page.
38:10Tell the whole world we're getting married!
38:17Hurry up, or I slit her throat right here!
38:31Move in.
38:33Move in?
38:33What are you-
38:34Oh, my leg!
38:36Oh, God, my leg!
38:38No!
38:39No!
38:40No!
38:41No!
38:42No!
38:45No!
38:47Xavier, I thought I'd never see you and Ethan again.
38:51I'm sorry, baby.
38:52I'm so sorry.
38:54I was stupid, and I got here too late.
38:58You must have been so scared.
39:01I'm never leaving you again.
39:08Okay, Ella.
39:10Tell me, you're never leaving me again either, right?
39:18Ella?
39:20Ella, wake up!
39:21Ella, what's wrong?
39:22What's wrong?
39:24Ella?
39:25Ella, wake up!
39:26What's happening?
39:36By the time we barged in,
39:40I'd already forced some of the poison down her throat!
39:44It's kicking in right now!
39:50Ella's never waking up again.
39:55The antidote!
39:56Damn it!
39:56You've got to have an antidote!
39:58Oh, I do.
40:00Same deal as before.
40:01Marry me!
40:03Announce to the world that I'm Mrs. Blackwood,
40:05and it's yours!
40:10Take her back to the family compound.
40:12Get her to talk, whatever it takes.
40:13Yes, sir.
40:17Ella, I won't let anything happen to you.
40:27How is she?
40:28We've administered our most advanced serums
40:30and detox treatments on Miss Reed.
40:32But she's still not out of danger.
40:34Ideally, we need the exact antidote
40:36for the specific toxin.
40:37That would be critical for her recovery.
40:39Understood.
40:42He said, Xavier, no.
40:44Don't, don't leave me.
40:47Don't be afraid.
40:48I'm right here, Ella.
40:52Daddy!
40:53What happened to Mommy?
40:58Daddy!
40:59What happened to Mommy?
41:01Daddy, is Mom sick?
41:03Is it bad?
41:07Why won't she wake up?
41:17Mommy, please wake up.
41:21I'm right here.
41:27She's going to be fine.
41:30She just needs rest.
41:32Don't worry.
41:34Daddy's going to make sure
41:35Mom gets better real soon.
41:38Then I'll stay with her, too.
41:41She'll get better faster that way.
41:43She will.
41:47I'll stay with her, too.
41:48Boss, there's something you need to know.
41:52Stay here and keep an eye on Mom for me, okay?
41:57Daddy's got to handle something.
42:02Did you get anything out of Serena?
42:04Where's the antidote?
42:06And back then,
42:08how did she swap the baby?
42:11Who helped her pull that off?
42:14Serena Hale won't say a word.
42:20I'm not answering
42:22a single one of your questions.
42:25Miss Hale,
42:27I'd strongly suggest you cooperate.
42:30Trust me,
42:30you don't want to see
42:32what the Blackwoods are capable of.
42:35You're just Blackwood lapdogs.
42:38Don't you dare bark at me.
42:40I'll talk,
42:41but only to Xavier.
42:43You!
42:45If I'm right,
42:46the Hale family's already come knocking,
42:49haven't they?
42:50Drag your feet all you want,
42:52but I can't promise
42:54my parents won't call the cops.
43:00Call the cops?
43:02With everything Serena's done?
43:04She doesn't even know
43:06how many years she's facing.
43:09And she's threatening us?
43:11The Hales did show up
43:13and try to pressure us,
43:15so...
43:17I'll go see her myself.
43:24I'll go see her myself.
43:27I don't care how tight
43:28she keeps her mouth shut.
43:30I'll pry it open.
43:39Xavier.
43:40Xavier.
43:41Xavier.
43:41I want to see Xavier.
43:50Xavier.
43:51You finally came.
43:54Where's the antidote?
43:55You came all this way?
43:57Just for the antidote?
43:58All those years by your side,
44:00everything I did for you,
44:01you didn't even see any of it?
44:03Don't test my patience.
44:04Where's the antidote?
44:05Talk.
44:06Now.
44:08Not once.
44:10I've been turning you down
44:11from day one,
44:12and you know that better
44:13than anyone.
44:13I don't believe that!
44:15What does Ella have
44:17that I don't?
44:18I'm prettier!
44:19I'm more capable!
44:21I'm the Hale heiress!
44:22Why would you?
44:24Why would you?
44:25Why would you?
44:26Are you really
44:27a Hale heiress, though?
44:30Still lying to yourself
44:31even now?
44:33What's that supposed to mean?
44:35The truth about you
44:36and Ella's identities
44:38is not a secret anymore.
44:40If anyone's the real
44:42Hale aniress,
44:43it's Ella.
44:46Not you.
44:47Why?
44:48Why does every bit of happiness
44:50in this world
44:50belong to Ella?
44:52The Hale name,
44:53it was all supposed
44:54to be mine!
44:55Enough!
44:58Save the pity party
44:59for the judge.
45:02Now tell me
45:03where the antidote is.
45:08Fine, I'll tell you.
45:14There is no antidote.
45:25What did you say?
45:28I wanted that bitch dead!
45:32Why would I bother
45:33making an antidote?
45:35There never was one.
45:37That's impossible.
45:40Tell me the truth
45:41right now!
45:42Name your price.
45:44Anything but marriage.
45:50Hand over the antidote
45:52and I'll let everything slide.
45:54There isn't one.
45:57Go interrogate the guy
45:59who made the poison
46:00if you don't believe me.
46:03Xavier,
46:03you've always been
46:04so untouchable.
46:06Too proud to lower
46:07that head of yours
46:08for anyone.
46:11And now look at you
46:12panicking like this.
46:14God,
46:14I love it.
46:17Boss,
46:17the Hales are here!
46:18They're right at our door!
46:20Mom and Dad
46:21are here to save me!
46:28I don't care what the Hales
46:29have to say.
46:30No deals.
46:31Get Serena to the police station.
46:33Now.
46:34No!
46:35I'm not going to jail!
46:36You can't do this!
46:39No!
46:40No!
46:42No!
46:49Miss Reed is still in a coma.
46:52There are residual toxins
46:53in her system.
46:54We've pulled every
46:55Blackwood resource available
46:57and brought in
46:57toxicology experts
46:58from around the world.
47:03We need you
47:04to develop an antidote
47:05as fast as possible.
47:10Mr. Blackwood,
47:11if you don't mind me asking,
47:13what is Miss Reed to you?
47:19She's
47:19my
47:21wife.
47:24She's my wife.
47:25Miss Reed
47:27is
47:27your wife?
47:29So please
47:30do everything
47:31you can
47:33for my wife.
47:39Hey, Mom.
47:40It's really nice
47:41outside today.
47:43I just got home
47:44from school.
47:45I'm getting used
47:46to it now.
47:47Mommy?
47:48Mom,
47:49are you waking up?
47:53Mommy?
47:53Mommy?
47:56Mommy?
47:59Ella, please
48:00wake up.
48:02Ethan and I,
48:03we need you.
48:16Ella,
48:17Ella,
48:17when are you
48:17coming back?
48:20I miss you.
48:23Sneaking drinks
48:24in the middle
48:24of the night again?
48:26You'll make yourself
48:27sick, you know.
48:30Ella?
48:31You're back?
48:33What,
48:33don't recognize me?
48:34Are you gonna fire me,
48:35Mr. Blackwood?
48:53Since when did you
48:54become such a
48:55wood-hepper,
48:55Mr. Blackwood?
48:57Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
49:03Ella,
49:04I've missed you so much.
49:07Ethan misses you too.
49:10I know.
49:11You've had it so rough,
49:12Xavier,
49:12I'm sorry.
49:16It was all my fault.
49:18I was stupid,
49:19arrogant,
49:21full of myself.
49:22I put you through
49:23so much pain.
49:26I regret everything.
49:28I swear to God.
49:30I'll never doubt you again,
49:31never throw those ugly words
49:32at you again.
49:33I trust you,
49:34protect you,
49:35till my last breath.
49:36Never leave me again.
49:38Promise?
49:39I promise.
49:48Ella.
49:55Ella, you're so beautiful.
50:06Xavier, I love you.
50:08Ella, I love you too.
50:13Daddy, wake up!
50:20Daddy, wake up!
50:24Ethan.
50:25Daddy, are you okay?
50:26Looks like you fell asleep
50:28on the couch all night.
50:29You kept calling mom's name.
50:30Was it just a dream?
50:31Ella didn't come back to me.
50:33Daddy, are you alright?
50:37This is Xavier.
50:38What?
50:46Miss Reed's condition
50:47took a sharp turn this morning.
50:48Her vitals are unstable.
50:50she's in the emergency room
50:51she's in the emergency room right now.
50:52The antidote.
50:53Is it ready?
50:54We have one dose.
50:56It's experimental.
50:57We can't guarantee it'll work,
50:58so we're hesitant to...
50:59Use it on Ella.
51:02But it hasn't been through
51:03clinical trials.
51:05The consequences
51:05could be irreversible.
51:06It's the only option we've got.
51:08I'm not letting any chance
51:08slip away.
51:10We'll do our best,
51:11Mr. Blackwood.
51:17Ella, you're coming back to me.
51:18I know it.
51:21Mommy.
51:22We've administered the antidote.
51:24If she wakes up before tonight,
51:25it worked.
51:26If she doesn't...
51:36Daddy, mom's gonna wake up, right?
51:40She will.
51:41She has to.
51:44Ella, you wouldn't leave
51:45the two of us behind
51:46and go to heaven alone,
51:47would you?
51:49Daddy!
51:50Her fingers moved!
51:58Of course.
52:00I'd never leave you two.
