00:04Oh, my love.
00:07We're going to have a baby.
00:19This is going to be the best surprise of his life.
00:36David, you didn't even take a single bite.
00:39Sorry, baby. I'm so nervous I can't even eat.
00:45What's that?
00:47It's a present, but you'll get it after the presentation.
00:52What if I lose?
00:54You are not going to lose.
00:57I believe in you more than anyone.
01:00Today is your day, my genius.
01:03I'm the happiest man in the world. You know that?
01:17Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for.
01:21At last, the winner of this year's Tech Pitch
01:24is the project that captured the hearts of every single one of our investors unanimously.
01:28This is a project that will revolutionize the tech industry.
01:33Something the world has never seen before.
01:36The project receiving a $9 million investment contract.
01:43Our winner...
01:49Lane Tech, David Lane.
02:04I... I don't know what to say.
02:06Just yesterday, I thought this was impossible.
02:08But there's always been one person in my life
02:10who supported me and believed in me more than I believed in myself.
02:13My beautiful girlfriend, Emma Carter.
02:21Today's the happiest day of our lives.
02:37David! Honey!
02:44Oh, sorry.
02:49Yours?
02:50Yes. It's for David.
02:53A surprise after his win.
02:58Security. Detain David Lane's girlfriend.
03:00I'm about to sign a $9 million deal with him.
03:03I need a hungry wolf, not a kid tied down with baggage.
03:14David!
03:16David!
03:18Let me go!
03:25Wait! Wait! What is this?
03:31Let me go!
03:36What's happening? Who are you?
03:40I just wrote your boyfriend a very large check.
03:44David Lane is a genius.
03:46I see guys like him maybe once a decade.
03:48In five years, she'll be a billionaire.
03:51In ten, he'll change the world.
03:54If you let him go.
03:56What?
03:57What do you mean?
03:59Look reality in the eye.
04:02You're a pregnant student.
04:04With no money.
04:05He just landed a $9 million contract today.
04:10Tomorrow, he flies out to San Francisco.
04:13A startup.
04:14Investors.
04:16Where do you fit into all that?
04:18With crying infant in your arms?
04:21You're only going to drag him down, you stupid girl.
04:25But...
04:26He loves me.
04:33$500,000.
04:34Today.
04:36Cash, if you prefer.
04:40I'm not selling my boyfriend.
04:43You're not selling him!
04:44You're helping him!
04:47Or do you want to ruin his life and destroy his dream?
04:50You don't know David.
04:52He would never choose money if it meant losing me or us.
04:56We love each other more than anything.
04:58So I will never agree to your terms.
05:03You idiot!
05:06Do you honestly think you have a choice?
05:09Do you know how easily a pregnancy can just disappear?
05:14For a broke college student with no family?
05:18Yeah, you wouldn't dare.
05:26When there's that much money on the table, nothing stops me.
05:31It hurts.
05:42So, what's your decision?
05:57I told you I'd make you the happiest.
06:00Today is going to be the best day of our lives.
06:09Hey, sweetheart.
06:12I need to tell you something, David.
06:14No, I need to tell you something.
06:17Here, hold these.
06:19Emma, everything came together today.
06:21The contract, the company, our future.
06:26But none of it means a damn thing without you.
06:32Emma Carter, will you marry me?
06:41I...
06:42I...
06:44No.
06:50What?
06:53I don't love you, David.
07:00If this is a joke, it's not funny.
07:03I...
07:04Never loved you.
07:08Emma, stop it.
07:11What's going on?
07:12Did someone hurt you?
07:13Tell me.
07:15I just pitied you.
07:16The poor, genius boy in the dorm with a laptop taped together.
07:20I felt sorry for you.
07:22Everything okay, Emma?
07:26Kevin?
07:28Seriously?
07:29Your ex?
07:32My fiance.
07:34You're lying.
07:38Happy marriage.
07:48Take your money and get lost.
07:56I'm sorry.
07:57My love, I'm sorry.
07:59It's all for our baby.
08:17It's the deal of the decade.
08:18Lane Tech has just closed a $2 billion acquisition of our local tech firm.
08:23Legendary CEO David Lane returns to the States after six years abroad.
08:27Lane becomes one of the youngest billionaires in the country.
08:31Yet, his personal life remains a total mystery.
08:36You idiot!
08:37Why aren't you working?
08:39If I catch you slacking off one more time, you're fired!
08:45I'm sorry.
08:47I'll clean everything right now.
08:49Please don't fire me.
08:51Without this job, I won't be able to feed my son.
09:07He was waiting for you, but his eyes gave up first.
09:11Thank you for helping with my son.
09:15Let's go.
09:16You need to rest, too.
09:33Thank you, Alan.
09:34Alan, is that really your ex?
09:39I'd serve a guy like that tea on my hands and knees.
09:42The future is not something we predict, but something we create.
09:46Hey, do you still love him?
09:52Have you ever thought about seeing him?
09:54No.
09:56Never.
09:57Okay.
09:59But what if you accidentally run into him tomorrow?
10:05I don't know.
10:12The CEO will be here in 20 minutes.
10:15I don't want to see a single speck of dust.
10:18Do you hear me?
10:33What have you done?
10:38I'm sorry.
10:40I didn't mean to.
10:42Shut up and clean it.
10:45These shoes cost more than your life.
10:54Ma'am, the new CEO will arrive in two minutes.
10:57Damn.
10:59Go clean the upper floors.
11:01Now!
11:02And get out of my sight.
11:15No way!
11:22Oh, my God.
11:24He's here.
11:28Oh, my God.
11:29He's even more handsome than in photos.
11:31They say he's the most desirable bachelor of the year.
11:38Mr. Lane.
11:40Welcome.
11:41I'm Victoria Blake, the building manager.
11:43I'm at your service, around the clock.
11:50After you.
12:09Is it really her?
12:18Careful, miss.
12:21Useless!
12:22You were supposed to clean all of this yesterday!
12:25Get out of here!
12:33Mr. Lane, please ignore that.
12:35The help in this building is atrocious.
12:37They're just dirt under our feet.
12:39I do not tolerate that kind of treatment towards my employees.
12:44Of course, Mr. Lane.
12:46My apologies.
12:59Yes, sweetheart.
13:00And we also have a private lounge on the top floor, with an incredible panoramic view.
13:11And personally, I could organize your private schedule.
13:17Excuse me.
13:18I need to step away.
13:26Hey!
13:29Dad!
13:30Dad!
13:32Dad!
13:33Dad!
13:35Dad!
13:37Why?
13:39Why?
13:39Why do you have my eyes?
13:42Why?
13:43Is this your son?
13:47Why?
13:47Excuse me.
13:49Oliver, you can't run around in a business center.
14:05Emma?
14:07Come on, let's go home.
14:09Tell me what happened.
14:13Can you believe it?
14:14He was holding me in his arms.
14:17He looked straight into my eyes.
14:19And he didn't recognize me.
14:21At all.
14:22No way.
14:23Careful, miss.
14:24Miss.
14:27Tomorrow, I'm writing my resignation.
14:29Emma, are you serious?
14:32I can't work there and see him every single day.
14:34I'll lose my mind.
14:44I love you, David.
14:48I'm the happiest man in the world, you know that?
14:51You used to be the center of my life, my whole world.
14:59Excuse me.
15:01But now you have a different family and a child.
15:05Six years.
15:07Six years I tried to forget you.
15:11Why do I still love you, sweetheart?
15:17Be a good boy, sweetie.
15:21Emma, you're three months behind on tuition, and you promised to pay on Friday.
15:25It's Tuesday.
15:26What am I supposed to tell the director?
15:28I know.
15:29I'm sorry.
15:30I'm sorry.
15:30Tomorrow is the last day.
15:31If we don't have the payment by the end of the day, we're giving his spot to another child.
15:36I'll pay it.
15:36I promise.
15:41What am I going to do?
15:43I can't lose my job.
15:47I will handle everything.
15:49I always do.
15:56I thought you'd be smart enough to disappear.
15:59I'm in a hurry.
16:04Today?
16:08I won't make it.
16:22What the?
16:31What happened?
16:32Nothing.
16:33I'm sorry.
16:36You work for me.
16:37That means your problems are my business.
16:40I need to pay my son's daycare tuition today, and I don't have the money.
16:45I was actually looking for a personal assistant.
16:47The schedule is flexible, and the pay is double.
16:50Tomorrow at 9 is your first day, and today, I'll send you in advance so you can pay the
16:54daycare before 6.
17:00And keep your resignation letter.
17:08Take it.
17:10It's a no-brainer.
17:11It's a disaster, Martin.
17:12A disaster is Oliver getting kicked out of daycare and the mountain of debt you're in.
17:18Plus, being an assistant is obviously way better than being a cleaner.
17:23Mom, what's an assistant?
17:24It's someone who makes really good money.
17:29I don't want to see him every day.
17:31I don't want to get used to his voice, his walk, his smile, all over again.
17:35Six years, Martin.
17:37Six years.
17:38And one day was enough.
17:41Okay.
17:42But what's the alternative?
17:50David, I need to tell you something.
17:56I'm listening.
17:58I'm listening.
17:58I'm not used to accepting help.
18:00I've always done everything myself.
18:02But yesterday, that was unexpected.
18:07Then sign the contract.
18:08And stop thanking me.
18:10It's just business.
18:14Understood.
18:16Your work clothes.
18:17Go change.
18:22We have an investor meeting in an hour.
18:25We need to prep the documents.
18:32Half an hour.
18:33I can make it.
18:36Here are the documents David asked for.
18:39I mean, Mr. Lane.
18:40I'm supposed to meet the investors.
18:44So you're the personal assistant now?
18:47I don't know what you promised him.
18:49But you won't last long here.
18:52Could you tell me exactly who I'm meeting?
18:56Yes, of course.
19:01Oh, Emma!
19:02Couldn't you watch out for the cup?
19:04These are important documents.
19:06With Thiering and Ecumicumus.
19:0820 minutes.
19:09I can still make it.
19:24Single.
19:26So that wasn't her husband?
19:30Allison, come in.
19:34When was Emma Carter's resume last updated?
19:37Mr. Lane, I'm sorry.
19:38The investors are already in the lobby.
19:44Mr. Lane, we're talking about hundreds of millions.
19:47This meeting either opens doors or shuts them forever.
19:50We're interested in the Asian market.
19:52What are your plans for the next quarter?
19:54The strategy is ready.
20:01But the documents will be here in a few minutes.
20:06Come on.
20:07Please, hurry.
20:08Hurry.
20:09Hurry.
20:13Damn it.
20:15He just landed a $9 million contract today.
20:20Tomorrow, he flies out to San Francisco.
20:23A startup.
20:25Investors.
20:27No.
20:28Not him.
20:30Someone was at the door.
20:32I don't like eavesdroppers at meetings of this caliber.
20:35Victoria will go check right now.
20:41Here, take these to David.
20:45No one's out there.
20:51And I went ahead and printed all the necessary materials.
20:54Then let's get down to business.
21:02Where were you?
21:03I'm sorry.
21:04I suddenly felt sick.
21:05I want to thank Victoria for covering for me.
21:11What game are you playing?
21:14Next time, warn me.
21:16Victoria, leave Miss Carter and me alone.
21:20Looks like somebody's in trouble.
21:27I wanted to congratulate you on your first day.
21:33These are my favorite mint macaroons from sweet coffee.
21:37How did you...
21:38I wouldn't forget, Emma.
21:44David.
21:45Remember how I used to buy two macarons?
21:48One for you and one for me.
21:51And then I'd always just give you both.
21:58Sorry, I won't keep you.
22:00I can answer it later.
22:02No, I have to go.
22:07Told you you wouldn't last long.
22:09What, already signed your resignation?
22:12I'll sign it tomorrow.
22:20What happened?
22:21Did he fire you?
22:23He remembers me, Martin.
22:27He remembers everything.
22:29Emma!
22:30Then you can tell him the truth!
22:32I thought about it.
22:35But...
22:37Richard...
22:37Richard can't control you forever.
22:40Maybe you're right, Martin.
22:42How old is your son, Emma?
22:44Six?
22:57Martin, I'm at work.
22:58What...
22:59Emma?
22:59The kid has a fever of 101-04.
23:01He's unconscious.
23:02We're on our way to the hospital.
23:04What?
23:05Oh my god, Martin, I'm on my way!
23:08Emma?
23:09Oliver's in the hospital.
23:11David, I have to go.
23:12Stop.
23:13I'll drive you.
23:19How is he?
23:21He's fine.
23:22He's fine.
23:23He's fine.
23:23The fever is down.
23:24It's just a common virus.
23:25Keep him here for a few days and he'll be perfectly fine.
23:28We need to finalize the admission.
23:30The uprut payment for the room is handled at reception downstairs.
23:34I'm going to go to the stairs.
23:36Preferably right now.
23:37Of course.
23:40I'll go down right now.
23:43Don't.
23:46David, you don't have to.
23:47I'm paying, Emma.
23:48Private room, the best doctor, and the absolute best treatment.
23:54Of course.
23:55I'll walk you down to reception.
24:00All right, Oliver Carter.
24:02Date of birth, October 14th.
24:04Age, six years old.
24:06Is that correct?
24:07Tober.
24:08And tech pitch was in April of that same year.
24:12So that's why she left.
24:14Not for money.
24:15Not for pride.
24:18Because of a child.
24:20Mr. Lane, is everything all right?
24:22We just need your signature.
24:24Emma cheated on me.
24:25She had another man's baby.
24:30David, thank you for everything.
24:32I don't even know how to...
24:36The boy is in good hands.
24:38I'm no longer needed here.
24:48He was there that day.
24:55Where did he get all this?
25:02David Lane.
25:03In my club.
25:05Six years ago, you were just some skinny dorm kid, and I was a broke athlete.
25:11Look at us now, huh?
25:12I didn't come here to exchange pleasantries, Kevin.
25:15Straight to business.
25:17I respect that.
25:18Talk, Lane.
25:19Time is money.
25:19And I've...
25:20I've got plenty of both now.
25:23The boy.
25:24Oliver Carter.
25:26Is he your son?
25:27And what do you care about my son, Lane?
25:30So he is yours.
25:33He's mine.
25:34And Emma was my woman.
25:38What, all these years and you still haven't gotten over it?
25:41Understood.
25:41That's all I needed to know.
25:50It's me.
25:51We have a problem.
25:53Lane was just here, asking about the kid.
25:57Spill it.
25:59He showed up on his own, asking about the kid.
26:02I did exactly what you said.
26:03Told him the boy was mine, that Emma was my wife.
26:06And he left.
26:10Good.
26:10Don't worry.
26:11He bought it.
26:13David Lane doesn't buy it, you idiot.
26:16If he came to you, it means he's already digging.
26:19Don't you dare slip up.
26:22I would never.
26:25Everything you have.
26:27This club, that suit, the watch.
26:30I gave it all to you.
26:32One word from me, and you're back to scrubbing sneakers in the locker room.
26:38Understood?
26:39Understood.
26:40The only question is, why did David start digging right now?
26:47He lived over Sears for six years and never brought it up.
26:51But the second he gets back, he starts asking about the boy.
26:55Something tipped him off.
26:57And I'm going to find out what.
27:03Richard Morgan returns to the city.
27:06I thought he just dropped by that meeting.
27:08But he's back for good.
27:10And now he'll be around David constantly.
27:13It's time to tell David everything.
27:18Good morning.
27:20I brought your coffee.
27:24Bring me the Shoal documents.
27:26Everything else goes through my secretary.
27:27Okay.
27:31Is everything all right?
27:33Yeah.
27:34I need to run to the clinic to see my son.
27:36An hour.
27:37Max.
27:38Of course, Emma.
27:39I'll make sure David gets all the files he needs.
27:45The doctor says you get to go home tomorrow.
27:48See how strong my big boy is?
27:50Uh-huh.
27:53And here are your favorite grapes.
27:56Whoa.
27:57Who do we have here?
28:00That's me.
28:01And that's the man from the lobby.
28:06It's beautiful, sweetie.
28:09But why did you write Daddy?
28:13Because I want him to be my Daddy.
28:16Everyone at preschool has a Daddy.
28:23What am I supposed to tell you, sweetie?
28:25You should head to work, Emma.
28:27I'll keep an eye on Oliver.
28:29Don't worry.
28:32Miss Carter, I'm glad you're still here.
28:34There are a few additional expenses that weren't included in the initial billing.
28:39The boy had to be put on a specialized course of antibiotics.
28:43I'll pay it by the end of the week.
28:53What are you doing?
28:56You don't work here anymore.
28:59What's going on?
29:01I found this on her desk.
29:07Well, I understand.
29:08Go ahead, Emma.
29:09Running away is what you do best.
29:13That's an old letter.
29:15David, I covered for Emma as long as I could, but let's face facts.
29:18Ditching work, blowing deadlines, missing files.
29:21We can't keep operating like this.
29:23She has a point.
29:24David, I need this job, and you know it.
29:27I need the money for Oliver.
29:29If you hadn't walked out back then,
29:32you'd never have to beg for money a day in your life.
29:35You can't change the past, David.
29:38But I need this job today.
29:41David, if this is uncomfortable, I can handle the termination.
29:48Have the soul report on my desk by tomorrow.
29:52I am going to destroy you, Emma.
29:54Maybe not today, but I will.
30:08If only I hadn't left back then.
30:12If you had just told me the truth,
30:14I would have raised that child as my own, Emma.
30:18David.
30:25How did I get here?
30:28I brought you home, Emma.
30:30David, I wanted to...
30:31Good night, Emma.
30:32Good night, Mr. Lane.
30:34I need to pay the remaining balance on Oliver Carter's account.
30:38The account is actually paid in full.
30:40The antibiotics were included.
30:41Paid?
30:42By who?
30:43It was covered under the name David Lane.
30:50Here's the soul report.
30:52We have the investor corporate party tonight.
30:55I'll expect you there at seven.
30:56But I can't.
30:57I need to get home to my son.
30:59How is Oliver?
31:01He's home.
31:02He's doing fine.
31:04For helping with the hospital bills.
31:07Victoria will give you your assignment for the party.
31:16Hi, this is David Lane.
31:18We spoke this morning regarding Oliver Carter.
31:21Do you perform paternity tests?
31:25The Q3 projections need to be on my desk by 8 a.m. tomorrow.
31:28And don't bother me with trivial questions.
31:31Check the inventory, glasses, champagne, decor.
31:34And once the event starts, you are to make sure we don't run out of anything.
31:38Victoria, I have severe claustrophobia.
31:41I can't stay in a storage room for long.
31:46Not my problem.
31:55Are you blind?
31:57We are running out of champagne.
32:00I'll go get some.
32:12Oh, no.
32:22Let me out!
32:24Somebody help!
32:29Finally out of the way.
32:34Sorry to interrupt.
32:36David, the partner from Berlin, wants to meet you personally.
32:39I'll catch up with him later.
32:59Emma?
33:14It's okay, sweetheart.
33:15It's okay.
33:15I've got you.
33:16I'm right here.
33:21Why did you come in here?
33:22You're terrified of small spaces.
33:23Come on.
33:23Let's get you out of here.
33:29David.
33:30What is going on here?
33:32Emma!
33:33I've been looking everywhere for you!
33:39Hauling champagne from a supply closet isn't my assistant's job, Victoria.
33:42There is a room full of investors upstairs.
33:44And now they are entirely your problem.
33:46David, I thought we were...
33:48I'm taking Miss Carter home.
33:50Of course.
33:51I'll take care of everything.
33:56You think you can just walk away?
33:58You'll regret this.
34:06Oliver!
34:07You're the guy from the lobby!
34:10That's me.
34:11My name's David.
34:13David, will you read me a bedtime story?
34:17Well, if it's okay with your mom.
34:23Set a course for bed, Captain.
34:34Why did the dragon stay all alone?
34:38Because once, he was left behind.
34:42So he locked his heart away, making sure no one could ever get in again.
34:46Did he lose the key?
34:48He did.
34:51I'll find it.
35:01He fell asleep fast.
35:03He's cute when he sleeps.
35:11David, can I pour you some wine?
35:15Oh!
35:19I apologize.
35:20This is your home, your family.
35:22I had no right to cross that line.
35:23Whoa, hold on.
35:24You think that I'm...
35:25with her?
35:29Honey, I'd rather sleep with you than a woman.
35:33Emma's my best friend.
35:34We'd split the rent, and I'd help watch the kid.
35:38You're less.
35:39Sorry.
35:41This whole time, I thought you were married.
35:52Don't.
35:53Because if you do, I won't be able to let you go.
35:57What if I never let you go?
36:02Good night, David.
36:04Good night, David.
36:09Good night, David.
36:19The cleaning lady.
36:21He chose the cleaning lady.
36:24Latex's largest investor regains control over deals.
36:28David is protecting her,
36:29which means I need someone higher up than David.
36:39Tomorrow's my birthday party.
36:41I invited everybody from daycare.
36:44Of course, sweetie.
36:46It's going to be perfect.
36:53Hi, I'm calling about the party room reservation for tomorrow.
36:56You sure to the card.
36:57You want to know where you're here?
36:58What do you mean canceled?
37:00I put down a deposit.
37:02Welcome to Playground Adventures,
37:04the perfect place for your child's birthday party.
37:06We refunded your deposit.
37:08The room was bought out for tomorrow.
37:10One client.
37:12The entire day.
37:13But how?
37:14Who?
37:15I'm not at liberty to say.
37:17Just a very persistent client.
37:22I have 20 kids coming tomorrow and nowhere to take them.
37:28We'll throw a wonderful party right here.
37:3130 kids in a two-bedroom apartment.
37:34At least I managed to get the cake ordered.
37:38Mom, will you you read to me?
37:43I called David from your phone while you were asleep.
37:48Oliver, why would you do that?
37:51Invited him to my party.
37:53He said, I'll be there, Captain.
37:59Oh my God.
38:03Sweetie, what really matters is that we...
38:08You came!
38:19How did you do all this?
38:21I know what it feels like to have your birthday taken away.
38:24I never had a single one growing up.
38:28I promise I'll pay you back for all this.
38:31You don't have to.
38:32Just let me be here.
38:38I made a wish!
38:39You can't tell anyone, or it won't come true.
38:43I wished for David to be my dad!
38:57He wished for a dad.
38:58He's just a little boy.
39:01Everyone else at daycare has a dad, and he doesn't...
39:03And he doesn't.
39:04Why, Emma?
39:06Thank you for today.
39:09Really.
39:11You made him the happiest kid in the world.
39:13But that doesn't mean you can just walk in and out of our lives whenever you feel like it.
39:17What if I don't want it to be whenever?
39:20You have no idea what you're getting into.
39:23Then explain it to me.
