00:00I took your heart
00:02I did things to your only lovers
00:07What we do in the dark
00:12Still don't know my death
00:21You still don't know my death
00:42Good morning, Counselor Hayes
00:44Morning
00:48Done. 84 seconds. Beat my personal best
00:52Wow, that's impressive, Isla
00:55You promised me last Wednesday at 2
00:56That if I finish this, you tell me who my dad really is
00:59Oh, honey, didn't I say he's some kind of superhero, like Iron Man?
01:03You said Spider-Man last time
01:05And before that, he was on Mars looking for an avatar
01:07Mom, my IQ is 160, not 60
01:11Trust Kayla, it's not worth being part of your brain workout
01:23Sir, we found her
01:24The woman who vanished 7 years ago, she's at BMP Ball
01:30And looks like she's got a kid
01:35Get the car ready
01:37I'm going to pick her up myself
01:45Madeline, if you don't bail me out of this gambling mess, those guys are gonna kill me
01:48And Liam
01:49Vivian, I've told you before, gambling won't make you rich
01:52And my money isn't just lying around for you to take
01:54Then what am I supposed to do?
01:56Liam's dad won't lift a fingertip
01:58And now you won't either
01:59Look at me, I'm completely stuck
02:05My cufflink, who gave you the idea to turn it into jewelry?
02:09Chill out
02:10I liked the diamond
02:12Looks good, right?
02:14Vivian, you know that was the only clue from 7 years ago
02:19A clue?
02:20That drunken night?
02:24As a top lawyer, aren't you embarrassed that your daughter's dod is some guy who didn't even leave a name?
02:32Just give it back
02:33Not until you pay off my debt
02:37You!
02:38That belongs to my mother!
02:40You!
02:40Is my brain-slinged happy one!
02:53Oops, Auntie
02:54Even my Rubik's Cube can't stand your style
02:56Mommy, it's back
02:58No manners!
02:59I'll teach you a lesson your mom did!
03:01Enough, Vivian, seriously
03:02Mom, we gotta go, the master cue won't wait
03:06Damn, almost forgot
03:12Vivian, I don't have time for your drama
03:14You!
03:36Oh my god
03:37It's Nicholas Whitmore from Whitmore Capital
03:40His presence, it's terrifying
03:41Yeah
03:42Wow
03:54Sir, let's go
03:56After all that, it's back in my hands
03:58No cash, fine
03:59I'll sell your precious thing to pay off my debt
04:02Mom, can I play with it?
04:03Are you crazy?
04:04This is a diamond, not one of your dumb toys
04:06Let me see it!
04:15I'm sorry
04:16Play all you bounced, sharp marble want
04:18Who am I even gonna sell this to now?
04:21You're insane!
04:22This wasn't even yours!
04:23I'm your mom!
04:33How did the caged heart diamond from the Cuffclin end up here?
04:39It's you?
04:41The guy from the Arston Heritage Hotel Suite
04:44Oh my god
04:45I've been looking for you for seven years
04:50Check it
04:50Make sure it's real
04:56You really think I'd lie?
05:01Don't cry, sweetie
05:02Your dad's here, he's not going anywhere
05:05Daddy?
05:06But my dad is
05:08Want to live well?
05:09Then zip it
05:11Sir, serial number and material check out
05:13It's the real thing
05:16Seven years
05:17She's turned into this mess
05:20Check
05:25The kid stays with the Whitmore's
05:27Take the cash
05:28And leave
05:28One million
05:30Cash?
05:33Being the lady of the Whitmore Estate
05:35That's the real prize
05:37No!
05:38Liam's my world!
05:40Unless you let us live at the estate together
05:42Even a hundred million won't make me give him up
05:46Ethan
05:47Take them to the estate
05:51You're going to give me a new dad?
05:53No
05:53He's always been your dad
05:55Your rich dad
06:05Sir, that's the hottest puzzle for high IQ kids right now
06:08Should we grab a little welcome gift for the young master?
06:10Liam needs something that actually sharpens his mind
06:13Pull over
06:20Mommy!
06:21Mommy!
06:21That's the one!
06:37Let go.
06:40Sorry, sir. First come, first served.
06:45Ethan, handle the payment. Got it.
06:48Uncle, I already put down the deposit. This cube's mine.
06:55How much do you want?
06:57Excuse me?
06:58You take the cash, I get the toy.
07:00Sir, did nobody ever tell you money doesn't buy everything?
07:04That's right.
07:06Ten thousand.
07:08Not enough? Fifty thousand.
07:11You can donate all the money you can't spend, but this toy, we're not selling.
07:25And I call you Rose.
07:28Cause you're sweet like a flower.
07:34That's it.
07:46Don't blame it on the kids, don't blame it on the kids, kids.
07:53Don't blame it on the kids.
08:09You scoundrel!
08:11You scoundrel!
08:17Sir, stealing a toy in broad daylight and snatching my mom's first kiss?
08:23She still has a first kiss at your age?
08:25A queen's first kiss gets refreshed every night, you wouldn't get it.
08:29Huh, interesting.
08:31And what are you planning?
08:32The cube's ours, and you're paying for emotional damages.
08:35No, Isla, we don't need...
08:37Well, if the queen's guardian angel insists, check.
08:45Mom, it's two hundred thousand!
08:47Ooh.
08:49Two hundred thousand?
08:51Not bad.
08:52Keep your filthy money.
08:53We don't need it.
08:55Isla, let's go.
08:56Miss!
08:57What are you doing?
09:01Goodbye, Mr. Rogue Billionaire.
09:03Whoa.
09:04What is she even saying?
09:05Farewell, little mischief angel.
09:12This mother-daughter duo, quite the pair.
09:18Mom, even after losing two hundred grand, I still feel a little sad.
09:23Sweetie, remember, money's earned, not handed out.
09:26Freebies usually come with strings attached.
09:32Where are you going?
09:34As you can see, we're moving.
09:38To where?
09:39Naturally, the fanciest address in town.
09:43You've never even heard of it.
09:45We're going to find rich daddy!
09:48Zip it!
09:53What?
09:55You're really going back to that violence?
10:04Yeah.
10:06See?
10:07Perfect timing.
10:08Just trying to ease your burden.
10:14Isla, go to your room.
10:16Okay, Mom.
10:21Viviana, what are you thinking?
10:23Derek's a gambler, a drunk, and violent.
10:25Last time he almost broke your ribs!
10:27He begged me!
10:28Even threatened himself!
10:29Liam needs his dad!
10:31I want to give him another shot!
10:36Derek's rotten to the core.
10:37If you actually care about Liam, you'd leave him here.
10:40He's different now.
10:42He's making big money.
10:44All those bad habits?
10:45Gone.
10:46Look at these!
10:47Still not learning your lesson?
10:49Enough!
10:50Madeline, do you really think I should just live off you forever, taking orders?
10:54Don't act like you're some saint!
11:00So that's what you think of me.
11:02Go ahead.
11:03Good luck playing high society lady.
11:07Wait!
11:08Oh?
11:09My cute little nephew can't bear to leave Auntie?
11:15Aunt Viviana, for all these days, from rent to Liam's school, you owe Mom $83,000.
11:22Please settle up.
11:23Madeline, you really raised a smart kid.
11:29Is this enough?
11:30From today on, we don't contact each other again.
11:36Bye, nerdy twin bales!
11:42Welcome home, Miss Vivian and young master.
11:48Hey you, come change my shoes.
11:55What's all the yelling?
11:56One stomp won't kill you.
11:58One stomp won't kill you!
12:03You too.
12:04From now on, call me Mrs.
12:07Yes, ma'am.
12:08Is this the example you're setting?
12:14Nicholas, I just didn't want them disrespecting us, mother and son.
12:18The Whitmalls don't need unrefined women.
12:20You're no missus either.
12:22Take her to the study.
12:23Let her think about her behavior.
12:25Keep her away from the kid for now.
12:35That woman's not fit to be a mother.
12:37I need full custody.
12:38No compromises.
12:40Sir, I've narrowed it down to the city's top litigation lawyers.
12:43Take a look.
12:49Madeline Hayes, civil rights and family law specialist.
12:53Divorce cases, 100% win rate.
12:55She's the hottest young attorney right now.
12:58Her?
13:11You lawyer!
13:12You ruined my life!
13:13My kid doesn't even know me!
13:15I'm gonna make you pay!
13:16Your wife suffered severe abuse.
13:18Under California law, intentionally hurting a spouse is a felony.
13:21Prison time was already the law's mercy.
13:25Leave.
13:26Now.
13:27Or I call the cops.
13:28Call the cops?
13:29Hell no!
13:40Hayes.
13:41Your life's really something else.
14:03What are you doing?
14:05What are you doing?
14:13I just saved you.
14:14How are you gonna think of me?
14:19Thanks.
14:20Now let me out.
14:22Open your mind till I'm deep inside.
14:25You're not even curious why I brought you here?
14:28I don't want to know.
14:29Open it!
14:30I hear you're the city's top divorce lawyer.
14:33Custody cases, 100% win rate.
14:36Custody cases, 100% win rate.
14:37You want a divorce?
14:40Tulsa.
14:42I've never been married.
14:43I want full custody.
14:44And I want her gone.
14:48You can't take a mother's right to raise her child.
14:50I won't take this case.
14:53Even for seven figures?
14:55Money won't tempt me.
14:57And that's not all.
14:58Win this case, and you'll be Whitmore Capital's exclusive legal counsel.
15:02Whitmore Capital?
15:03Oh, right.
15:04Introductions.
15:05Nicholas Whitmore, CEO of Whitmore Capital.
15:08Big time tycoon.
15:09Impressive.
15:10Not interested in corporate drama.
15:11Let me out!
15:14That acid-throwing thug earlier was just a warning.
15:17Today it's you.
15:19Next time, what if it's Isla?
15:22I can protect you.
15:24Completely.
15:27Fine.
15:29Deal.
15:31See you tomorrow.
15:34Madeline.
15:41Mr. Nicholas, sorry.
15:42Today's meeting's over.
15:44My daughter's sick.
15:45Attorney Hayes, we haven't finished going over the contract.
15:47Get her home.
15:50Boss, you usually can't stand personal stuff interrupting work.
15:54But with Hayes, you just let it slide.
15:56Mind your own business.
16:12Madeline, did I just misread the elevator?
16:14This is Wiltform Capital's legal hub, not a daycare.
16:17Sorry, Margaret.
16:18I know it's not standard, but my daughter's running a fever.
16:20If you've got to drag your kid around, maybe just stay home and be a full-time mom.
16:25Being a mother doesn't take away my career.
16:27Isla's quiet and I guarantee my work won't suffer.
16:30You treating this office like your living room?
16:32This isn't-
16:32Not welcome for who?
16:35Boss.
16:36The new lawyer brought her kid.
16:39I thought it might bother you.
16:41She's quieter than you.
16:43Margaret, go grab this month's paycheck from HR.
16:46You're done here.
16:49No!
16:50Boss, I was joking!
16:52I even brought her the caviar mousse with gold leaf we got this morning.
16:55Thanks.
16:56Stop.
16:56My daughter has heredinary areobloma HAE.
16:59She's extremely allergic to metals and certain proteins.
17:02Boss.
17:03That's the exact same condition your family has.
17:06Right.
17:07Affects only one in 50,000 worldwide.
17:09Really?
17:11What a coincidence.
17:13Let's not dwell on the illness.
17:15We need to head out and handle your custody case.
17:20Go get Liam.
17:22Yes, sir.
17:25Is Isis okay being home alone?
17:26Don't worry.
17:28She inherited my strength 100%.
17:31Madeline?
17:32Here.
17:33She can't see me.
17:43Let me out!
17:44What are you...
17:45What are you...
17:54Mom!
17:55The cufflink's gone!
17:57What?
17:57Don't panic.
17:58I'll find it.
18:02Something lost?
18:03My daughter's father's only keepsake.
18:06The heart in a cage diamond cufflink.
18:08Heart in a cage?
18:10Only one set exists.
18:11In my hands.
18:13What your ex had?
18:14Cheek knockoff.
18:15Fake or not.
18:16It's all she's got.
18:17My sister must have taken it!
18:22What?
18:26What?
18:27What?
18:28What?
18:28What?
18:30What?
18:30What?
18:31What?
18:32What?
18:32What?
18:32What?
18:38What?
18:40What?
18:41What?
18:43What?
18:43What?
18:43What?
18:44What?
18:44What?
18:44What?
18:44What?
18:45What?
