Short filmTranscript
00:00:02Mrs. Chloe, your biological relationship with Rosa Sterling is confirmed. 99.99% match.
00:00:10Also, your foster mother left a message.
00:00:13She said, I'll always love you, but I hope you find your birth parents and have a complete love.
00:00:18Go for me, will you?
00:00:19This was left for you by your foster mother.
00:00:21She said it was the only thing in your blanket the day you arrived at the orphanage.
00:00:27I've already had the best love in the world.
00:00:30If that's what you wanted, I'll go see for myself.
00:00:41Miss me, sweetheart?
00:00:43Found my birth mother. Taking Ella, low-key, no identities.
00:00:47Why not let me come?
00:00:48I need to see first whether they care about me or what's behind me.
00:00:53Mom, just do it. We got your back, me and sis.
00:00:55Mom, anyone touches you, 30 seconds, every headline rewritten.
00:00:58If they don't deserve you, I'm coming to bring you home.
00:01:00Deal.
00:01:08Who let the homeless onto this street?
00:01:14You're the lost daughter?
00:01:16Smelled the money and came running?
00:01:18Say that again? I dare you.
00:01:19Your mom's a stray. You're just the runt of the litter.
00:01:23Put your hand down. I won't say it twice.
00:01:31Who are you? This is a private residence.
00:01:34Look at that outfit. Probably here to beg.
00:01:38Forty years and this is it?
00:01:39Our housekeeper dresses better.
00:01:43My name is Chloe.
00:01:45Forty years ago, left at a Brooklyn orphanage.
00:01:48DNA, 99.99%.
00:01:50This is Sterling.
00:01:52I'm your daughter.
00:02:00Fake.
00:02:01You can get one of these online for 200 bucks.
00:02:04Trying to scam the Sterlings?
00:02:05Get out.
00:02:06Look at those hands.
00:02:08Dishwasher hands.
00:02:09Sterling jeans don't produce that.
00:02:12The report's from a federally accredited lab.
00:02:14Case numbers on file.
00:02:15Well, if you don't want to acknowledge it, that's fine.
00:02:18Sorry to bother you.
00:02:19Let's go, Ella.
00:02:23Wait!
00:02:25This scratch.
00:02:26The only one in the world.
00:02:28I held it every day when I carried you.
00:02:30The class wore it down.
00:02:32I put it in your blanket the day you were born.
00:02:35It's you.
00:02:36It's really you.
00:02:38What does a mother's arms feel like?
00:02:41Mom, careful!
00:02:43She's been God knows where for 40 years.
00:02:47You can't risk catching something.
00:02:48Don't touch her.
00:02:51Victoria has a point.
00:02:53Come in, wash up, change into something fresh.
00:02:56Stay for dinner?
00:02:57Just one meal?
00:02:59Fine.
00:03:00Eat up, sweetheart.
00:03:02Must have been rough out there.
00:03:08Rolled up in a busted Honda, and she's sitting at this table.
00:03:12Great mileage.
00:03:13Eight times less carbon than that modded Range Rover in your garage.
00:03:20Oops.
00:03:21But hey, your kind's used to picking food off the ground, right?
00:03:27The Sterling family's idea of class.
00:03:30Truly eye-opening.
00:03:31If I'm not welcome here, there's no point in staying.
00:03:35Derek, apologize to your sister.
00:03:38Your allowance is cut for three months.
00:03:49Apologize?
00:03:50I will never acknowledge this low-lifest family.
00:03:53My only sister is Victoria.
00:03:54Only her!
00:03:56Derek!
00:03:56The DNA report is black and white.
00:03:59She's a Sterling.
00:04:01Do you want this family torn apart?
00:04:03So it was never about me being your daughter.
00:04:05It's the Sterling name.
00:04:07That's all it ever was, right?
00:04:13Mom!
00:04:14Mom!
00:04:15Mom!
00:04:15Hell's coffee table.
00:04:18Second drawer.
00:04:24Chloe, my heart can't take this kind of shock.
00:04:28Please don't go.
00:04:30There's a charity gala tonight.
00:04:32Just stay and let me look at you a little longer.
00:04:35Expired meds right where she can reach there.
00:04:37How many times has she rehearsed this act?
00:04:39I'll stay.
00:04:40But only tonight.
00:04:42Good girl, I knew you had a kind heart.
00:04:44The gala starts at 7.
00:04:45I'll have Victoria take you to pick out a dress.
00:04:48Oh dear, what a shame.
00:04:50The dresses for tonight were booked last week.
00:04:52No extras.
00:04:53Just wear whatever that is.
00:04:54I can't even tell the brand anyway.
00:04:56And sit in the corner.
00:04:57Try not to block the view of the actual guests.
00:05:01Mommy, I can drain her entire bank account in 30 seconds.
00:05:04Not necessary.
00:05:04Clothes don't define people.
00:05:06People define clothes.
00:05:07Let's go.
00:05:10Who's that woman?
00:05:11No gown, but she has more presence than half the people on that stage.
00:05:19My stulk!
00:05:21It's a limited edition!
00:05:22Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:05:26She suddenly stood up and bumped my elbow.
00:05:29Chloe, how could...
00:05:31How could you be so careless?
00:05:35Chloe, what is wrong with you?
00:05:37Can't you behave yourself at an event like this?
00:05:39You disappointed me!
00:05:43So to her, saving face matters more than the truth.
00:05:47And strangers matter more than her own daughter.
00:05:53Dad, someone's been messing with mom tonight.
00:05:55When are you coming to get us?
00:05:56Don't worry, sweetheart.
00:05:57I'm in the middle of a job.
00:05:58I'll fly over first thing tomorrow.
00:06:00Honey, what are you up to?
00:06:02Oh, just working on a car.
00:06:04This shipment's urgent.
00:06:05Gotta pull an all-nighter.
00:06:06You and Ella hang in there.
00:06:07I'll handle things tomorrow.
00:06:11Oh my god, did I hear that right?
00:06:13Your husband's a mechanic?
00:06:15No wonder you can't afford a decent dress.
00:06:17A grease monkey mechanic and his bargain box wife?
00:06:19What a match.
00:06:20How did sterling blood end up with trash like that?
00:06:23He earns his living with his own hands.
00:06:24That's more dignified than living off a family name.
00:06:34My necklace!
00:06:35My $50 million pink diamond necklace is gone!
00:06:38There's a thief!
00:06:39Mom, I had it when I passed that way just now.
00:06:42Now it's gone!
00:06:43It has to be them!
00:06:44The mechanic's daughter stole it.
00:06:46Let's search!
00:06:47Kids from that kind of background, stealing's in their blood!
00:06:51I didn't take that!
00:06:53She planted it!
00:06:54She walked past my chair just now!
00:06:55Caught red-handed and still denying it?
00:06:57Like mother, like daughter.
00:07:00Officer, this girl stole my sister's $50 million necklace.
00:07:04The evidence is undeniable.
00:07:05Lock her up in maximum security.
00:07:09Touch my daughter and you'll regret it.
00:07:11Rosa, you are my birth mother.
00:07:14Say something, now!
00:07:20Chloe, the evidence is right there.
00:07:24Just have the girl admit she made a mistake.
00:07:26I won't let you go empty-handed.
00:07:29I'll send some money to your husband's garage.
00:07:32Think of it as compensation.
00:07:37So that's it.
00:07:39All along, I meant less to her than a piece of jewelry.
00:07:44Chloe, I'll give you one chance.
00:07:47Get on your knees right now.
00:07:49In front of everyone and admit your daughters.
00:07:52A thief.
00:07:54And I might consider dropping the charges.
00:07:57A family of mechanics wouldn't last a day in prison.
00:08:02You are not worthy.
00:08:08What are you waiting for?
00:08:10Cough the brat!
00:08:1150 million in stolen goods.
00:08:13That's 10 years.
00:08:19Mommy, I'm not scared.
00:08:21As long as I'm here, nobody touches you.
00:08:41Mom, what are you waiting for?
00:08:50No!
00:08:58Sorry I'm late
00:09:02Dad
00:09:04Daddy's little genius
00:09:05You've been through enough
00:09:06Who the hell are you?
00:09:08A mechanic hiring thugs to crash a sterling estate?
00:09:12Do you have any idea where you are?
00:09:17Which mouth said my wife should kneel?
00:09:20And which hand tried to grab my daughter?
00:09:24You're insane!
00:09:25There are 300 witnesses here!
00:09:27You shoot him, it's murder!
00:09:29Mr. Sterling, maybe you should ask your son
00:09:31How many years he'd get for framing a minor
00:09:32And hiring dirty cops to use tasers
00:09:34I was just joking
00:09:36I put the necklace there myself
00:09:38I didn't mean for it to go this way
00:09:39You put it there yourself?
00:09:41Good
00:09:42Public defamation, clear evidence
00:09:49Touch them again, next bullet goes through your skull
00:09:52That was your choice
00:09:54And I've made mine too
00:10:19How is this possible?
00:10:21Seven banks cutting us off at the same time
00:10:23They're trying to kill us
00:10:26Dad, what the hell is going on?
00:10:27I tried to use my card this morning
00:10:29It's frozen
00:10:29Every credit line is cut
00:10:32Even the backup offshore accounts are locked
00:10:42I've got it!
00:10:43It's the Vance Group
00:10:44We stole that port logistics bid from them last week
00:10:47This is their retaliation
00:10:48The timing is perfect
00:10:49Exactly!
00:10:50It has to be Vance!
00:10:52Their Wall Street connections run deep
00:10:54Coordinating a few banks is nothing for them
00:10:58But that man last night
00:11:00With all those people
00:11:02Could it be connected?
00:11:05Mom, I had people look into him
00:11:07That mechanic runs a dump in the south side
00:11:10Tunes up stolen cars for street punks
00:11:13Those guys last night were just hired thugs from the neighborhood
00:11:16Cheap suits and a smuggled gun to scare people
00:11:18A mechanic cutting our bank credit?
00:11:20Don't be ridiculous
00:11:21This is Vance
00:11:22I'll call their people this afternoon
00:11:24Apply some pressure
00:11:25But business is business
00:11:27Just a coincidence
00:11:28It has to be
00:11:30A mechanic couldn't possibly have that kind of power
00:11:37Relax
00:11:37Just a south side thug
00:11:39Dad said the bank stuff's got nothing to do with him
00:11:42It's the Vance Group
00:11:45But that gun was real
00:11:47He put a bullet through the floor
00:11:48Smuggled piece
00:11:49You can get one for a few grands in the south side
00:11:52If he had any real power he wouldn't be fixing cars
00:11:57A mechanic's wife made me lose face in front of 300 people
00:12:00I'll show her what a real gap looks like
00:12:03Nathan's got a concert here next week
00:12:05His agent owes me a favor
00:12:06I'm bringing him to the estate for a private party
00:12:09I'll invite the whole social rest
00:12:11And then?
00:12:14Then I'll let that mechanic's wife see what a world she'll never touch
00:12:19International superstars
00:12:20Top tier celebrities
00:12:21Millions in jewelry
00:12:22She won't even get through the door
00:12:25Great idea
00:12:26Let the whole city know last night was just a joke from some lowlights
00:12:30The Sterlings aren't someone you mess with
00:12:42A woman named Victoria Sterling reached out through three layers of intermediaries
00:12:47Offered two million for a private party appearance
00:12:49I turned it down but she went up to five
00:12:52Said she could arrange media coverage
00:12:58Sterling, the family that mess with my mom and sister
00:13:01Your mom said not to worry about it but
00:13:05Tell her I'll do it for free
00:13:06No fee, no press, one condition
00:13:09I control my entrance
00:13:10Nathan, your mom said to keep a low profile
00:13:15I am keeping a low profile
00:13:17I'm just going to a party
00:13:24He said yes
00:13:25Nathan actually said yes
00:13:28And he's not charging
00:13:29Oh my god, this is the highlight of my life
00:13:30Bro, Nathan confirmed
00:13:32Free of charge
00:13:35I'm going to show this whole city
00:13:37What Sterling connections really mean
00:13:39And send that mechanic's wife an invitation
00:13:42Let her watch from the corner
00:13:43While I take photos with an international superstar
00:13:47Good
00:13:48Let her see the difference between heaven and earth
00:14:07Oh, you actually showed up
00:14:09I thought the mechanic's wife wouldn't dare leave the house
00:14:11Tonight I'll show you what real high society connections look like
00:14:14Nathan will be here
00:14:15You've heard of him, right?
00:14:16The one with a billion fans worldwide
00:14:18Is that so?
00:14:19I'm looking forward to it
00:14:22Mommy, big bro's coming
00:14:24You know that, right?
00:14:27I can't stop when your brother's temper is worse than your dad's
00:14:38Nathan's arriving any minute
00:14:39I personally invited him
00:15:02Mr. Nathan
00:15:04Welcome to Sterling
00:15:11Mr. Nathan
00:15:12Welcome to Sterling Estate
00:15:14I'm Victoria
00:15:14I organized this party just for you
00:15:16Right this way
00:15:31Mom
00:15:35Mom
00:15:37Did they mess with you?
00:15:40You look thinner
00:15:41Have you been eating properly?
00:15:44I'm fine
00:15:46Aren't you supposed to be on tour?
00:15:48What are you doing here?
00:15:50The tour can wait
00:15:52But people who mess with my mom
00:15:53They can't
00:15:56Ella told me everything
00:15:58Bro, perfect timing
00:16:00The one in red is the ringleader
00:16:01The one with the K is her accomplice
00:16:06He called her mom?
00:16:08That woman in the corner is Nathan's mother?
00:16:10Oh my god
00:16:11I thought she was a mechanic's wife
00:16:18Nathan called her mom!
00:16:20That woman is Nathan's
00:16:22No!
00:16:23No!
00:16:24No!
00:16:25No!
00:16:26No!
00:16:27No!
00:16:28No!
00:16:32Mom
00:16:33Mother
00:16:34This is impossible
00:16:36How could a mechanic's wife
00:16:38Be an international superstar's mother?
00:16:41This is fake
00:16:42You hired an actor
00:16:51Want me to go live right now
00:16:53And let my billion followers
00:16:54Verify it for you?
00:17:00Mom, the air here is toxic
00:17:01Let me take you and Ella
00:17:02For some late night food
00:17:04These people don't deserve
00:17:05To breathe the same air as you
00:17:07Okay
00:17:08But next time
00:17:09Keep it low, Kai
00:17:09Your manager's gonna have a headache
00:17:12Mark's used to it
00:17:13Let's go, Mom
00:17:14Ella
00:17:14Let's roll
00:17:43Don't be fooled, everyone
00:17:44I just checked Nathan's official profile
00:17:47Born in a Brooklyn slum
00:17:48Discovered bushing at 14
00:17:50Parents listed as unknown
00:17:51That's the carefully crafted underdog story
00:17:54Nathan's team built years ago
00:17:55These idiots can't even see through it
00:17:57Chloe, I've got it all figured out
00:18:00You and your mechanic husband
00:18:02Were just some poor neighbors
00:18:03Who helped Nathan back in the slums, right?
00:18:05He calls you mom out of gratitude
00:18:07And you think that makes you high society?
00:18:09A slum rat playing dress up as a lady?
00:18:16That's what I thought
00:18:17How could a mechanic's wife
00:18:19Give birth to a superstar?
00:18:21She's just some foster mother
00:18:23From the slums
00:18:24Who got lucky with a bowl of soup
00:18:33Mr. Nathan
00:18:34I admire your loyalty
00:18:36But to a family like the Sterlings
00:18:38Old money
00:18:39Four generations
00:18:41Celebrities are just products of marketing
00:18:43Your net worth is pocket chunched to us
00:18:45Is it really worth offending us
00:18:47For a foster mother from the slums?
00:18:51Mom, let me make one call
00:18:53In ten minutes this estate won't exist
00:19:05Plums and actors
00:19:06Is that all you see?
00:19:09The Sterling family's arrogance
00:19:11Has paved a beautiful road
00:19:13To your own destruction
00:19:23It's over
00:19:24Mom's serious now
00:19:26The Sterling's good days are numbered
00:19:48Steals my patent
00:19:49And holds a press conference about it
00:19:51That's almost touching
00:19:52For a thief
00:19:56You're sure it's yours?
00:19:57One hundred percent
00:19:59Same core architecture
00:20:00Same variables
00:20:01Even three trap bugs
00:20:02I deliberately left in
00:20:04Their CTO attended an MIT open house
00:20:06Two years ago
00:20:07I did an internal demo that day
00:20:11What's your plan?
00:20:12He's officially announcing it
00:20:14At the tech summit this afternoon
00:20:15I've already looped in the FBI's
00:20:16IP crimes unit
00:20:17They've been building the case
00:20:18For three days
00:20:18It's solid
00:20:19Mom
00:20:20I want to be there
00:20:23Go
00:20:24But remember
00:20:25Stick to the facts
00:20:26Keep your cool
00:20:28Roger that, boss
00:20:36Oh, the mechanic's daughter
00:20:41Is at a tech summit?
00:20:42Do you even know
00:20:43What AI stands for?
00:20:44Try not to dirty the carpet
00:20:45A single square costs more
00:20:46Than your dad makes in a year
00:20:48Go on
00:20:48Show them what real tech looks like
00:20:57This AI neural network patent
00:20:59Is the culmination of three years
00:21:01Of work by my team
00:21:02It will revolutionize
00:21:04Human-machine interaction
00:21:05Sterling Tech will lead
00:21:07The next decade
00:21:08All right
00:21:31You mentioned
00:21:33You
00:21:37Now
00:21:38You
00:21:42Remote. Let me borrow that.
00:21:53These three redundant code blocks are trap markers I deliberately intruded two years ago.
00:21:58They have no functional purpose. They're just tracking beacons for plagiarists.
00:22:02Mr. Patrick, your team copied all three bugs Veritas. Even the variable names are identical.
00:22:13This is forged. You're 16. How could you possibly be an MIT researcher?
00:22:18Dr. Ella is the youngest visiting researcher in MIT's AI lab. She earned her Ph.D. in computer science at
00:22:2414.
00:22:25This is a federal court order for intellectual property franchement investigation.
00:22:29Mr. Patrick, please cooperate.
00:22:36Oh, my God. You're the legendary Dr. Ella, the one who breached the Pentadon's firewall and designed the quantum encryption
00:22:41system for the Vance Group?
00:22:42We've been searching for you for three years. We'd like to hire you as a tech advisor.
00:23:02That girl is obviously a puppet for a rival tech company. The whole family is being used by big capital.
00:23:09How could a mechanic's daughter be a Ph.D.? There's someone pulling strings behind her.
00:23:14Dad, the FBI is here.
00:23:15The FBI can be bought! This is his corporate warfare! Someone's out to destroy the Sterling!
00:23:28This has nothing to do with the Sterling family! This was my decision alone!
00:23:32And I hereby announce my divorce from Victoria Sterling!
00:23:36I won't let the Sterlings drag me down with them!
00:24:02I'm going to let the Sterlingons go back!
00:24:03Patrick's Company assets have frozen. And with them, three of our joint ventures.
00:24:07The banks have an unflows descent from last week's freeze.
00:24:10Dad, how long can we last?
00:24:15Without new capital, two months, max.
00:24:19Two months?
00:24:20What about my credit cards, my car?
00:24:22Now is not the time for that!
00:24:24Let me talk to Chloe.
00:24:27She's my own flesh and blood.
00:24:29If she gets Ellie to drop the suit, Patrick's case won't drag us down.
00:24:35Mom, when you go beg her, remember, she's still just a mechanic's wife.
00:24:39Even if her daughter's got some skills, that doesn't change where she came from.
00:24:43Don't lower yourself too much.
00:24:57Chloe, I know I've wronged you before, but you're my own flesh and blood.
00:25:00That bond can't be broken.
00:25:01The family is in trouble now.
00:25:03Could you have Ella drop the lawsuit?
00:25:06Patrick has already suffered.
00:25:08Why go all the way?
00:25:12Chloe, I'm your mother!
00:25:14How can you watch your own family go bankrupt?
00:25:17Your brother is young.
00:25:18Victoria is divorced.
00:25:20What will become of them?
00:25:21Can't you do this for the sake of the family?
00:25:26Rosa, your tears don't work on me anymore.
00:25:31You wanted my child to confess so you could save face.
00:25:37That's when you cut the ties yourself.
00:25:48Patent infringement is a federal case.
00:25:50I can't drop it, and I won't.
00:25:55Rosa, please leave.
00:26:01Mom, stop begging.
00:26:03Since the whole family are just pawns for big money, don't blame me for playing rough.
00:26:08I'll hit up the real sound gangs, smash that garage to pieces.
00:26:12Let's see them act tough then.
00:26:25Liam, Derek might try something with your garage.
00:26:29Good.
00:26:30I've been wanting to see who'd be stupid enough to come to my turf.
00:26:43Sterling's kids paying half a mil to trash this dump and drag out whoever's inside.
00:26:47Break his legs.
00:26:48Let's move, boys.
00:26:52Let's move, boys.
00:26:52Let's move, boys.
00:26:53Let's move, boys.
00:26:57Let's move, boys.
00:27:18You're here?
00:27:19I've been waiting.
00:27:26But, boss, we didn't know this was your turf.
00:27:29The Sterling's paid us 50 grand.
00:27:32We're just hired hands.
00:27:34Which Sterling?
00:27:35Derek, the one with the cane.
00:27:37He said this was just a dump, just a smash and grab.
00:27:40Boss, please, we didn't know.
00:27:42Go back and tell Derek Sterling one thing.
00:27:45His life is mine to take when I feel like it.
00:27:47My patience is running thin.
00:27:51The leader, break his right hand.
00:27:53The rest, dump them at Sterling's front gate.
00:28:00You'll be dumped at the Sterling estate gate.
00:28:14Honey, it's done.
00:28:16Derek sent a few dozen guys with pipes.
00:28:18Anyone hurt?
00:28:20Just the leader's hand.
00:28:21The rest went back in one piece.
00:28:23Don't worry, I kept it measured.
00:28:24Liam, they still don't know who you really are.
00:28:27They'll find out soon enough.
00:28:29Chloe, I gave them a chance.
00:28:30Next time, I won't be this polite.
00:28:55Sir, madam, it's the young master.
00:28:59Derek!
00:29:00Derek, my boy, your legs!
00:29:02Howard, call an ambulance!
00:29:04Now!
00:29:05Dad, that garage, it's full of weapons.
00:29:08Armored cars, dozens of guns aimed at us.
00:29:11He dared to break my son's legs!
00:29:17Howard, who is that man, really?
00:29:18He's not just some mechanic.
00:29:20He's just some lowlife who latched onto the mob.
00:29:23Weapons, armored cars, those belong to the mafia.
00:29:26He's just a lookout.
00:29:27But Derek's legs!
00:29:28The Sterlings have run this state for four generations!
00:29:32We have people in politics, business, law, everywhere.
00:29:36I refuse to believe some gangsters errand boy can take us down.
00:29:44Howard, old friend.
00:29:45Calling this late, what's the matter?
00:29:47Jim, I need a favor.
00:29:48There's a man named Liam, runs a garage in the south side.
00:29:50He's got illegal weapons, hired thugs to assault my son, broke his legs.
00:29:54I need you to use every connection you have to shut him down.
00:29:57Revoke his license, freeze his accounts, put him away.
00:29:59No problem, just a mechanic.
00:30:00Give me his full name, I'll have people on it tomorrow.
00:30:03His name's Liam.
00:30:05Full name is Liam.
00:30:09Jim?
00:30:10You still there?
00:30:12Howard.
00:30:13That Liam you mentioned?
00:30:15The one with the south side garage?
00:30:18Yeah, that's him.
00:30:19What about it?
00:30:22Howard, take my advice.
00:30:24Stay away from that man.
00:30:27Don't investigate him.
00:30:28Don't speak his name.
00:30:30Act like you've never heard of him.
00:30:32I can't help you.
00:30:33Nobody can.
00:30:40Howard, what did the governor say?
00:30:46Who the hell is he?
00:30:59Chloe, I know you're in there.
00:31:01I'm your mother.
00:31:02You can't do this to me.
00:31:03Chloe, open the door.
00:31:05Let me see my daughter.
00:31:06Ma'am, you're not on the visitor list.
00:31:08Please leave.
00:31:09I'm Chloe's biological mother.
00:31:12Blood can't be denied.
00:31:15What right do you have to stop me?
00:31:18Chloe, come out.
00:31:20Your mother is begging you.
00:31:26Mom, the one outside is back.
00:31:28Want me to have security let the dogs out?
00:31:30Ignore her.
00:31:31She'll leave when she's tired.
00:31:34Let me in.
00:31:35I have to see her.
00:31:44Madam, please let me see Chloe.
00:31:47I'm her birth mother.
00:31:48She can't treat me like this.
00:31:49I gave birth to her.
00:31:51I raised.
00:31:57So you're the sterling woman.
00:32:00You gave birth to Chloe and abandoned her for 40 years.
00:32:04Now that your family's bankrupt, you suddenly remember you have a daughter?
00:32:09You know about me?
00:32:12I know every wrong my granddaughter-in-law has suffered.
00:32:15You let her be publicly humiliated at your banquet.
00:32:18You forced her daughter to confess to a crime she didn't commit.
00:32:22You chose to save face instead of saving your own child.
00:32:26You think I don't know?
00:32:28I was under pressure too.
00:32:30Victoria was...
00:32:35So what if you gave birth to her?
00:32:38You didn't raise her.
00:32:39You didn't torture.
00:32:41And when she came back, you used her and humiliated her.
00:32:47A woman who would force her own daughter to her knees for the sake of appearance.
00:32:53You don't deserve to call yourself a mother.
00:32:56Drag this woman out.
00:32:58She is not to come within a kilometer of Vance Estate again.
00:33:01If she does, break her legs and toss her out.
00:33:03Chloe!
00:33:04Chloe, can you hear me?
00:33:06I'm your mother!
00:33:12Mom, cry hard.
00:33:14Keep the agreement high so the camera gets it clear.
00:33:17Key words.
00:33:19In Gret, abandoned baby, asset thiefed, the internet eats that up.
00:33:23Isn't this going too far?
00:33:25She put Patrick in prison.
00:33:27She broke Derek's legs.
00:33:29She ruined my marriage.
00:33:30Too far?
00:33:31She deserves it.
00:33:33We're live.
00:33:34Cry!
00:33:36I am a mother, abandoned by her own daughter.
00:33:40Forty years ago, family circumstances forced me to give her away.
00:33:44Now she's come back to reunite.
00:33:46But to steal the family fortune, the signet disagreement is forged.
00:33:51She illegally seized our family's assets.
00:34:01As a member of this family, I've decided to formally sue Chloe on behalf of the Sterlicks.
00:34:07We will not let evil win.
00:34:10Mom, give me 30 seconds and I'll wipe this live stream and all her social accounts off the internet.
00:34:15Five more minutes and I'll leak her bank records, call Clydes, everything!
00:34:21Not yet.
00:34:22But the whole internet is trashing you!
00:34:25The comments!
00:34:28Let them climb to the highest peak.
00:34:30The higher they go, the harder they fall.
00:34:33If we stop them now, they'll just play victim.
00:34:35Let them spread their lies to the whole world, then when the truth comes out, it'll be a total wipeout.
00:34:47Your father should have things ready on his end.
00:34:49Mom, we held number one for six hours.
00:34:52Over 300 million views.
00:34:55Chloe's name is Mud now.
00:34:56She'll never recover.
00:34:58Give it another two days of public outtry, then we file the lawsuit.
00:35:02Even if she has ten lawyers.
00:35:08Mrs. Rosa, stop dreaming.
00:35:10Open it.
00:35:11And see what your beloved husband and adoptive daughter really are.
00:35:30Victoria, you're not my daughter?
00:35:37Over 20 years ago, Howard Sterling fathered Victoria with another woman.
00:35:41To let his illegitimate daughter inherit the family fortune, he forged adoption papers and
00:35:46abandoned your biological girl, Chloe, at a Brooklyn orphanage.
00:35:49This is the orphanage intake record with Howard's signature.
00:36:03Howard, he lied to me for over 20 years.
00:36:07And you?
00:36:09You knew from the start?
00:36:11You knew you weren't my daughter, and you helped your father lie to me?
00:36:16I didn't know.
00:36:17I swear.
00:36:18Dad told me...
00:36:19Shut up!
00:36:19You and your father conspired against me my whole life!
00:36:23And me?
00:36:24I just destroyed my own daughter's reputation in front of the entire internet!
00:36:29Dad, daughter, I was deceived!
00:36:34Victoria isn't my daughter!
00:36:36She's Howard's illegitimate child!
00:36:40He abandoned you!
00:36:41It was him!
00:36:42I didn't know all these years.
00:36:44I was wrong!
00:36:45Please forgive me!
00:36:46Rosa, you are truly pathetic.
00:36:48Deceived by the man beside you for over two decades, and you couldn't even recognize your own child.
00:36:52Yes, I was blind, but now I know!
00:36:54I'll make it up to you!
00:36:55But Rosa, when you smeared me online for that illegitimate daughter, when you forced my child to her knees,
00:37:02when you publicly humiliated me in front of 300 people,
00:37:05did it ever cross your mind that maybe, just maybe, I really was your own flesh and blood?
00:37:10You didn't think about it.
00:37:12Because to you, saving face mattered more than truth.
00:37:14Profit mattered more than blood.
00:37:16Even knowing the truth now, your choices back then wouldn't have been any different.
00:37:20You've lost any right to call yourself my mother.
00:37:23Forever.
00:37:24Goodbye.
00:37:44Howard Sterling!
00:37:45Rosa, now's not the time for drama.
00:37:47Liam's people have frozen all our offshore accounts.
00:37:50We have to leave tonight!
00:37:51Look at this!
00:37:52You threw my own daughter into the slums!
00:37:55You put your bastard in her place!
00:37:57Over 20 years you lied to me for over 20 years!
00:38:03So what?
00:38:05What difference does it make now?
00:38:11Since you know everything, let's drop the act.
00:38:15Rosa, why do you think I married you?
00:38:17The sterling bloodline.
00:38:19The connections.
00:38:21The assets.
00:38:23That's all I needed.
00:38:25As for you, you were just free childcare for Victoria and a maid to run the house.
00:38:32Mom, oh wait, what should I call you now?
00:38:34Aunt Rosa?
00:38:35Thanks for paving my road so perfectly all these years.
00:38:38The best schools, the most expensive clothes, the most allowance.
00:38:42All given so willingly.
00:38:44Oh, and the best part?
00:38:45You helped me cyber bully your own daughter.
00:38:48Aunt Rosa, you're the most useful tool I've ever had.
00:39:08Die!
00:39:16You're...
00:39:18Insane.
00:39:23Where are you running you stole my daughter's place for over 20 years give her back to me
00:39:41Beg me and Chloe begged you. What did you do?
00:39:46You made her kneel

00:51:49of the Vance Empire
00:51:51Someone's causing chaos on your turf. They stole my money destroyed my men godfather

00:52:19From this moment on anyone who so much as looks at her with disrespect. I will end their entire bloodline
00:52:34Impossible he must be the godfather's body double the real godfather can't be like this
00:52:39Yes
00:52:40You can't possibly be the godfather the godfather is the architect of the global underground order

00:52:49How could he hold a woman's train?
00:52:51You're a stand-in the real godfather
00:52:56I just happen to personally maintain my wife's armored car every screw every plate of armor it all goes through
00:53:02my hands
00:53:02That's the only way I trust it for her and that makes me a mechanic
00:53:06But a godfather wouldn't hold a woman's train
00:53:12As for holding her train, that is my highest honor as her husband
00:53:39Godfather mercy. I didn't know she was your lady. The sterlings deceived me. They told me you were just a
00:53:43mechanic
00:53:44I was blind. Please godfather have mercy
