00:00:11Leo, Lily, slow down!

00:00:18Boss, no cameras. Let's take her.

00:00:22Yeah, let's do it.

00:00:24This is a robbery!

00:00:27You two are really trying to rob me?

00:00:29You heard him.

00:00:30Hand over your money.

00:00:31Give us your money!

00:00:33Leo! Lily, I need help!

00:00:37Lily, Mom's in trouble. Got it. Protect Mom.

00:00:41Why are you yelling? We're in the middle of nowhere. Nobody's coming.

00:00:44Just give us the money.

00:00:49Beat it, kid, or you'll be sorry.

00:00:51You should worry about the one holding the candy.

00:00:55I'm not here to talk to kids.

00:00:57Then talk to my sister.

00:00:59What am I supposed to say to some little brat? Move, or I'm taking that lollipop too.

00:01:04Oh, no. You made Lily mad.

00:01:07Nobody touches my candy.

00:01:20But please, ma'am! I'm sorry!

00:01:22Save your apology. Lily's the one you should be worried about.

00:01:27Lily, please don't hurt me.

00:01:29Mom, can we let them go?

00:01:31Leo, what do you think?

00:01:33My calculations say there's a 79% chance they'll do it again. We should call the police.

00:01:38Good call. Let's do it.

00:01:44Kids, this is our new place.

00:01:47Mom, why are we moving again?

00:01:52Because we're running out of money.

00:01:53Keeping the three of us afloat is hard. We've already spent $34,872 this year.

00:01:59That's a lot. Mom, I'll take care of you when I'm older.

00:02:03You don't have to worry about that. We're just having a rough time right now. We'll get through it together.

00:02:08If you found a job that paid $8,000 a month, we'd be fine.

00:02:14That's a pretty big ask, buddy.

00:02:21Leo, you're the smart one. Think of something. Mom needs help.

00:02:28I know one way. Mom's not going to like it.

00:02:33What way?

00:02:34We find our dad.

00:02:36I thought dad got taken by aliens?

00:02:38That's just what mom tells us.

00:02:41Everything points to him still being alive.

00:02:49Out of everyone in the world, you're the only one who makes my heart race.

00:02:54You're the only woman I love.

00:02:56Six years, and you never called.

00:02:59Did you really believe I was bad luck for you two?

00:03:02Stop thinking about him. We need the money.

00:03:05I'll sell the necklace.

00:03:07Looks like selling this necklace won't be easy either.

00:03:10Leo, Lily, I'm going to the restroom.

00:03:12Stay here. Don't wander off.

00:03:17You!

00:03:18Emma!

00:03:20Small world.

00:03:21I told you to leave the city.

00:03:23What are you doing back here?

00:03:24I did leave.

00:03:25I came back because I had to.

00:03:27Don't tell me that after six years you still haven't become Mrs. Ashford.

00:03:31Watch yourself.

00:03:32Leave again or I'll make you regret coming back.

00:03:35The mall is doing well, Mr. Ashfield.

00:03:37It's our third most profitable subsidiary.

00:03:40Mom couldn't sell the necklace.

00:03:41Think of something, Leo.

00:03:42I've got it.

00:03:43If mom can't sell it, we'll find someone who can afford it.

00:03:47Who?

00:03:48That man.

00:03:49He looks rich.

00:03:52Hold up.

00:03:53We've got something you'll want.

00:03:55Hey, kids.

00:03:56Move along.

00:03:58Let them be.

00:04:00What do you want?

00:04:01We're offering you a deal.

00:04:03A deal?

00:04:04Go on.

00:04:04We have a necklace.

00:04:06It would make a great gift for someone special.

00:04:10I'm not really a necklace guy.

00:04:11You could give it to the woman you love.

00:04:15I have someone I love.

00:04:17I just can't remember who she is.

00:04:20How can you forget someone you love?

00:04:24Because...

00:04:24Leo, Lily.

00:04:27What are you two up to now?

00:04:33Ethan?

00:04:34I don't care what anyone says.

00:04:36I'm marrying Emma.

00:04:38You will not.

00:04:39Marry her and you can forget about taking over this family's business.

00:04:43For Emma, I'd give up everything.

00:04:47I'm sorry.

00:04:48Do we know each other?

00:04:50You don't remember me?

00:04:52Who do you think you are?

00:04:54Why would Ethan remember you?

00:04:56Ethan, women like this don't just show up out of nowhere.

00:04:59She's after your money.

00:05:01My mom isn't after his money.

00:05:02Your mom?

00:05:03Those two are your kids?

00:05:05Yes.

00:05:06And whatever you're thinking, you're wrong.

00:05:08So they're just a couple of bastards from God knows where.

00:05:11We're not bastards!

00:05:12Say that again and I'm going to get mad!

00:05:15Lily, don't!

00:05:17If you have a problem with me, take it up with me.

00:05:19Leave my kids out of it.

00:05:21Look at you.

00:05:22You can barely afford to dress yourselves.

00:05:24Come on, Ethan.

00:05:25They're trying to get money out of you.

00:05:27She's right.

00:05:28We are trying to get money.

00:05:30Mom, wasn't the necklace supposed to be for sale?

00:05:33He looks like he can buy it.

00:05:34He's their father, but he doesn't know it.

00:05:37Asking him to buy a necklace isn't exactly a crime.

00:05:40I have a gemstone necklace for sale.

00:05:42Interested, Mr. Ashfront?

00:05:45Angel's tears.

00:05:49You know this necklace?

00:05:52It looks familiar.

00:05:53I just can't place it.

00:05:55It was worth $300,000.

00:05:56I'll take $100,000 for it.

00:05:58Fine.

00:05:58I'll buy it.

00:06:00$100,000 for a price I just made up?

00:06:02That'll keep us going for a while.

00:06:05Ethan, wait outside.

00:06:05I'll handle this.

00:06:07All right.

00:06:07I'll be outside.

00:06:10Don't waste your time.

00:06:12Ethan lost his memory in the crash.

00:06:14He doesn't remember you.

00:06:15He lost his memory?

00:06:17Everything about you.

00:06:18Convenient, isn't it?

00:06:19He forgot us.

00:06:21All of it.

00:06:23Emma, stop trying to get near him.

00:06:26Ethan is mine.

00:06:27I'm not trying to take him from you.

00:06:30Are you buying it or not?

00:06:31I'll buy it.

00:06:32But you stay away from Ethan.

00:06:34No more showing up.

00:06:35No more games.

00:06:36Understood?

00:06:38Deal.

00:06:41I have a feeling that man might be our dad.

00:06:44How sure are you?

00:06:46Based on mom's reaction, 95%.

00:06:50Take those two kids and leave Brerwood.

00:06:52I'm not asking.

00:06:54That'll cost extra.

00:07:00Six years ago, I drove you out.

00:07:02I can do it again.

00:07:05Now that we have some money,

00:07:07you two are starting preschool next week.

00:07:10Do I really have to?

00:07:12I already taught myself college-level calculus.

00:07:16You may be brilliant,

00:07:17but Lily still needs help keeping up.

00:07:18She's strong enough to be an athlete.

00:07:21She doesn't need calculus.

00:07:24I don't want to be an athlete.

00:07:26I want to use my brain, not my muscles.

00:07:29We're talking about preschool, not your whole future.

00:07:32You're both going.

00:07:34Yes, ma'am!

00:07:37Cole.

00:07:38That woman with the kids at the mall today.

00:07:40Do you know who she is?

00:07:42I've only worked for you for three years, Mr. Rister Ashford.

00:07:45I don't know much about what happened before then.

00:07:47Then find out.

00:07:49I want everything you can get on her.

00:07:52Understood.

00:07:53And look into that necklace, too.

00:07:55Angel's Tears.

00:07:57Mr. Ashford, Angel's Tears was sold at auction six years ago for one million dollars.

00:08:01The buyer was you.

00:08:04I bought it?

00:08:05That's what the records say.

00:08:10Then how did it end up with her?

00:08:14Kids, I've got a job interview today.

00:08:16Stay here and behave.

00:08:18Don't worry, Mom.

00:08:19I'll keep an eye on Lily.

00:08:21Good.

00:08:21I'll see you this afternoon.

00:08:27Go, go, go.

00:08:28We're on a mission.

00:08:29Follow my lead.

00:08:32Mr. Ashford, someone's here to see you.

00:08:34I don't have any appointments today.

00:08:36They knocked out a few security guards and walked right in.

00:08:42Who thinks they can storm into my office?

00:08:47The two kids from yesterday.

00:08:50The kids?

00:08:54What can I do for you two?

00:08:56You have 48 hours to decide if you're going to be our dad.

00:09:01I'm sorry, what?

00:09:04This is for a DNA test.

00:09:07And if I say no?

00:09:08Then you lose us.

00:09:10We'll find another dad.

00:09:12We're not asking.

00:09:14We're telling you.

00:09:18Wait.

00:09:20Cole, how fast can we get the DNA results?

00:09:22Two hours.

00:09:23If we rush it, then rush it.

00:09:27You two can wait here.

00:09:29We can wait.

00:09:30But I'm out of food.

00:09:33Get them some snacks.

00:09:38Go ahead.

00:09:40Leo, should we?

00:09:41If it's free, we eat.

00:09:46Hey, they have cheese sticks.

00:09:47Mom says they cost too much.

00:09:49She never buys them.

00:09:50That flavor's pretty strong.

00:09:52Most people don't like it.

00:09:53You two do?

00:09:56They even like the same weird snacks I do.

00:09:58And the birth marts.

00:10:06You two little bastards again.

00:10:08Where's Emma?

00:10:09Too scared to show up so she sends you instead?

00:10:12Don't talk about our mom like that.

00:10:13Say that again and see what happens.

00:10:16Good thing I still have her number from yesterday.

00:10:22Emma, what is this?

00:10:24Did you send your kids here to scam Ethan?

00:10:26What?

00:10:27Leo and Lily are at Ashford?

00:10:28Those two...

00:10:29They must not find out who their father is.

00:10:33Leo, Lily, what are you doing here?

00:10:35How did you even get here?

00:10:37We came to find our dad.

00:10:39We're leaving.

00:10:40Your dad isn't here.

00:10:42Not so fast.

00:10:43I have a few questions.

00:10:44How old are they?

00:10:49Five.

00:10:52Five.

00:10:53The timing lines up.

00:10:55Where's their father?

00:10:58James, you're not coming through that door.

00:11:00End the pregnancy before you bring any more trouble to my son.

00:11:03I asked you a question.

00:11:04Who's their father?

00:11:05That's none of your business.

00:11:07If it had nothing to do with me,

00:11:08they wouldn't have come here asking for a DNA test.

00:11:11They like the same food I do.

00:11:12They even have the same birthmarks.

00:11:14How do you explain that?

00:11:16It's a coincidence.

00:11:18That's all.

00:11:19Ethan, they looked you up before they came here.

00:11:21The food, the birthmarks,

00:11:23they could have faked all of it.

00:11:24Don't let her fool you.

00:11:26Exactly.

00:11:26It's all fake.

00:11:27We're leaving.

00:11:35You can leave when the results are in.

00:11:38Mr. Ashford, the results are in.

00:11:40There's no biological relationship between you and the children.

00:11:45No biological match?

00:11:47But they are Ethan's kids.

00:11:48Well, maybe this is for the best.

00:11:50Good thing I caught on before she pulled anything.

00:11:54What's that?

00:11:55The kids asked for a DNA test.

00:11:57These are their samples.

00:11:59A DNA test?

00:12:04Dr. Whitman, I need a favor.

00:12:06The result is wrong.

00:12:09How do you know?

00:12:11Fine, I'll explain it once.

00:12:13The left side of the brain handles logic,

00:12:15which shows on the right side of the face.

00:12:17The right side handles emotion,

00:12:18which shows on the left.

00:12:20Compare the two,

00:12:21and you can tell what someone's really feeling.

00:12:25You could have just said she looked happy.

00:12:28I noticed something else.

00:12:29That woman's suspicious.

00:12:33Watch your mouth.

00:12:34Don't accuse people without proof.

00:12:36You had a smug micro-expression for 1 25th of a second.

00:12:39According to the bell effect,

00:12:41that means you had the motive and the intent.

00:12:44Micro-expression?

00:12:45Bell effect?

00:12:46You're just a kid.

00:12:47Since when did you get so good at making things up?

00:12:49Enough.

00:12:50The test says there's no biological match.

00:12:52We're leaving.

00:12:53Go ahead.

00:12:54But if you're hiding something,

00:12:56I won't go easy on you.

00:12:57Don't ignore what I said, old man!

00:13:00Old?

00:13:01Since when am I old?

00:13:08One million dollars.

00:13:09Get rid of the woman and the two kids.

00:13:11Make it clean.

00:13:12Half up front.

00:13:13Once it clears, we move.

00:13:17We've got a job.

00:13:18A woman?

00:13:19If she's pretty, can we have some fun first?

00:13:23Absolutely.

00:13:25Make her wish she were dead.

00:13:26Something about this doesn't add up.

00:13:28Look into Emma.

00:13:29I want everything you can find on her.

00:13:30I'll get on it.

00:13:35Emma.

00:13:37This just got interesting.

00:13:42No more looking for your dad.

00:13:44Do it again,

00:13:45and I might just leave you two to fend for yourselves.

00:13:48You can't abandon us.

00:13:49That's against the law.

00:13:50Then why did you tell us dad got taken by aliens?

00:13:53I should have had two houseplants instead.

00:13:59It's okay, Mom.

00:14:00If you don't want Dad,

00:14:01he must have done something awful.

00:14:03I don't get it.

00:14:05You don't have to.

00:14:06If we see him,

00:14:07just hit him.

00:14:08How hard?

00:14:10Hard enough to break a bone.

00:14:13Fine.

00:14:15Remember that.

00:14:16If you see Dad,

00:14:17one broken bone.

00:14:24Who's talking about me?

00:14:28Emma?

00:14:31Nathan?

00:14:32What are you doing here?

00:14:34And who are these two?

00:14:39My little troublemakers.

00:14:40You have kids?

00:14:41Wow.

00:14:42You must be so happy.

00:14:43Mom's not happy.

00:14:44We don't have a dad.

00:14:46You don't?

00:14:47You can sit here if you want.

00:14:49I'd love to.

00:14:51He's cute.

00:14:51He could be our dad.

00:14:52We need more than a pretty face.

00:14:55What are you doing for work these days?

00:14:57I'm looking.

00:14:57You studied advertising, right?

00:15:00Graphic design.

00:15:01But finding a decent job hasn't been easy.

00:15:04Funny you should say that.

00:15:05My agency needs a creative director.

00:15:07A creative director?

00:15:08No, I couldn't run a team.

00:15:10Mom's work has been featured

00:15:12in international fashion magazines.

00:15:14Seriously?

00:15:15You never told me that.

00:15:16I can handle the design work.

00:15:18Managing a whole team is different.

00:15:20Then let me help with the management side.

00:15:22How much does a creative director make?

00:15:26What do you think?

00:15:28Two grand?

00:15:30Try five grand a month, plus project bonuses.

00:15:34My agency isn't exactly small.

00:15:36Mom, you're rich!

00:15:38Mr. Ashford, the investigator got back to us.

00:15:41Emma used to be your girlfriend.

00:15:43My girlfriend?

00:15:45My mother broke us up.

00:15:47And those kids?

00:15:49They might actually be mine.

00:15:51But the DNA test said something still doesn't add up.

00:15:55Remember what that boy said?

00:15:58He seemed to suspect Victoria.

00:16:00He may be right.

00:16:02Victoria's more calculating than she lets on.

00:16:07Where is Emma now?

00:16:08She rented an apartment nearby.

00:16:10Probably at home.

00:16:12Then let's go find her.

00:16:18Mr. Ashford, it's just the two kids.

00:16:20I don't see Emma anywhere.

00:16:21She left them alone?

00:16:22What if something happened?

00:16:24Yeah.

00:16:25That's pretty irresponsible.

00:16:30Leo, we've got company.

00:16:34Let's see what he wants.

00:16:36I've been wondering.

00:16:39Which one of you was born first?

00:16:42That's a sad story.

00:16:44Mom gave birth at home and passed out afterward.

00:16:47She couldn't remember which one of us came first.

00:16:49She went through all that alone?

00:16:52I take back what I said.

00:16:54She's doing an incredible job.

00:16:55You didn't come all this way just to ask our names, did you?

00:17:02I have a feeling we're connected somehow.

00:17:06Then test it again.

00:17:08I'll give you one more chance.

00:17:09Why give him another chance?

00:17:11That nice man from before was way better.

00:17:14What nice man?

00:17:15The one who made us change our minds about having you as our dad.

00:17:19Mom doesn't have to wait around for one man.

00:17:21There are plenty of other options.

00:17:24Who taught you to talk like that?

00:17:25If he really is dad, do we still hit him?

00:17:29For mom?

00:17:29Absolutely.

00:17:30Good.

00:17:31I've been saving that punch.

00:17:34Run the test again.

00:17:36This time I'll be there for every step.

00:17:40The results?

00:17:42The combined probability of paternity is 99.999%.

00:17:47So they're...

00:17:48They're your children.

00:17:51Did you hear that?

00:17:53I have a son and a daughter.

00:17:55Yes, sir.

00:17:56But then why did the first test say no match?

00:17:59According to the bell effect, that means you had the motive and the intent.

00:18:02Leo was right.

00:18:04Victoria tampered with the test.

00:18:18You didn't have to drive me home, Nathan.

00:18:20You're running the biggest account at the agency now.

00:18:22Let me take care of you once in a while.

00:18:24You need a girlfriend.

00:18:25Maybe then you'd finally wash your hair.

00:18:27I would if the woman I wanted actually wanted me back.

00:18:30As for the women who want me, let's not go there.

00:18:33Then do something about it.

00:18:35Nothing happens if you never make a move.

00:18:41Keep your hands off my woman.

00:18:42What the hell is wrong with you?

00:18:43Ethan, have you lost your mind?

00:18:46Who is this guy?

00:18:47No one.

00:18:47I don't want anything to do with him.

00:18:49No one?

00:18:50I'm the father of your children.

00:18:52And where were you when I gave birth?

00:18:55Where were you when I worked every job I could find to raise them?

00:18:58When Lily had a fever and I had to get on my knees and beg for help?

00:19:02You gave me DNA.

00:19:04That's it.

00:19:05You don't get to walk in now and call yourself their father.

00:19:08I didn't know you went through all that.

00:19:10Don't touch me.

00:19:11We're done.

00:19:12If you want to know why, ask your mother and Victoria.

00:19:14After everything they did, there's no way you and I are getting back together.

00:19:18Ashfield, just leave.

00:19:20People get divorced every day, and you two weren't even married.

00:19:22From now on, I'm the one who's here for Emma.

00:19:25Who the hell are you?

00:19:27Someone who knows Emma gets to make her own choices.

00:19:30You don't get to bully your way back into her life just because you shared DNA with the kids.

00:19:35Nathan's right.

00:19:37I get to choose my future.

00:19:38All you bring back are painful memories.

00:19:40You're part of my past now.

00:19:44Then what about the kids?

00:19:45Biology doesn't make you a father.

00:19:47You weren't there.

00:19:48You don't get to take them from me now.

00:19:50We'll see about that.

00:19:51Those children are mine too.

00:19:56I'm sorry.

00:19:57I only grabbed your arm because I needed your help back there.

00:20:00You don't have to apologize.

00:20:01You're the one I've always wanted.

00:20:03Nathan, I'm not worth it.

00:20:04I already have two kids.

00:20:06I know.

00:20:07That doesn't change how I feel about you.

00:20:09And I like Leo and Lily.

00:20:13That was so sweet.

00:20:15I like him.

00:20:16He'd be a good dad.

00:20:20Ethan really needs to learn how to talk to mom.

00:20:22You're thinking of helping him, aren't you?

00:20:24He's still our dad.

00:20:26I'll think about it after he brings me a truckload of snacks.

00:20:29Mr. Ashford, can I say something?

00:20:31Say it.

00:20:32Emma's angry because she spent six years doing everything alone.

00:20:35Being tough with her isn't going to fix that.

00:20:37Then what am I supposed to do?

00:20:39I've got a guide.

00:20:41108 ways to win back the woman you love.

00:20:43Normally we're $100.09, but for you, $40.

00:20:46Give me the book.

00:20:51Rule one.

00:20:52If she says she's right, she's right.

00:20:54If she's wrong, see rule one.

00:20:56This is garbage.

00:20:58You paid for it.

00:20:59At least hear it out.

00:21:00She doesn't just need money.

00:21:02She needs you to show up and stay.

00:21:06That's it.

00:21:07I've got it.

00:21:12They're out here alone again.

00:21:14Emma really leaves them by themselves.

00:21:19Where's your mom?

00:21:21At work.

00:21:22She has to work.

00:21:23Otherwise, who's going to pay for everything?

00:21:26But you need an adult watching you.

00:21:29What if something happens?

00:21:34You're underestimating us.

00:21:35I've been doing chores since I was four.

00:21:38Leo even helps mom manage the bills.

00:21:40When she's sick, we take care of her.

00:21:44Kids shouldn't have to grow up that fast.

00:21:46I should have been there.

00:21:47So why are you here?

00:21:50I'm moving in.

00:21:51I want to be here for you.

00:21:53For good.

00:21:54Because I'm your father.

00:21:55This proves it.

00:21:56You probably can't read it yet, but...

00:21:5899.999%

00:22:00Lily, it's him.

00:22:02You can read that?

00:22:03You don't know anything about us.

00:22:05That doesn't make you our dad.

00:22:07I'm still keeping that punch.

00:22:10We should ask mom first.

00:22:12What does that mean?

00:22:16It means she plans to break your bones if you annoy her.

00:22:20She's just a little brat.

00:22:22Besides, I'm her dad.

00:22:25What did you call me?

00:22:27Call me a brat again.

00:22:29I dare you.

00:22:36Mr. Ashford, this is a little more than we expected.

00:22:41How is she that strong?

00:22:43What exactly did you find out about her?

00:22:45I honestly had no idea she had superpowers.

00:22:47Ethan, Lily already said she doesn't like you.

00:22:51But if you give me something I want, I might be able to tell you how to win her over.

00:22:55See?

00:22:56My son gets it.

00:22:57Name your price.

00:22:59I want my own card linked to your account.

00:23:01What does a kid your age need a credit card for?

00:23:04That's how people get spoiled.

00:23:05Don't let grown-up rules get in the way.

00:23:07You're leaving everything to me someday anyway.

00:23:10This is just an advance on what I'll inherit.

00:23:12That actually makes sense.

00:23:14Cole, get him a black card.

00:23:19This stays between us, okay?

00:23:21Don't tell Mommy.

00:23:23Now, what did Lily say I should do?

00:23:25She said if you don't bring her a whole carload of good food, she won't accept you as her dad.

00:23:31That's it?

00:23:32That's it.

00:23:38Lily, this is a full feast from a five-star hotel.

00:23:41If you help me win your mom back, I'll bring you to sweat as you want.

00:23:44Hm, I'm not that easy to buy.

00:23:47Cole, you got it.

00:23:49Today's spread includes lobster, king crab, oysters, and jumbo shrimp, prime rib, filet

00:23:54mignon, roast beef, barbecue ribs, and fried chicken, truffle fries, stuffed chicken, a

00:23:59seafood tower, caviar, and chocolate souffle.

00:24:01Since you went to all this trouble, I guess I can say yes, just this once.

00:24:05Babies, I'm home.

00:24:09Leo, Lily, why did you let a stranger into our home?

00:24:13I took his money.

00:24:15That means I owe him one.

00:24:16And I ate his food, so now I can't exactly turn on him.

00:24:20Mommy, don't be mad, okay?

00:24:23Mr. Ashford, I made myself clear.

00:24:26From now on, we go our separate ways.

00:24:27You live your life, I'll live mine.

00:24:29We both move on.

00:24:30Got it?

00:24:31I don't agree.

00:24:32Then we can let the court decide.

00:24:34You've never been a father to them.

00:24:36Who do you think the judge will give custody to?

00:24:37So that's how cold you are.

00:24:39I guess you've already found someone else.

00:24:41I gave you too much credit.

00:24:42If you want to call someone heartless, look into what your family did to me first.

00:24:47If you choose him, go with him.

00:24:49I can always have two more.

00:24:52Mommy, I'm sorry.

00:24:53I fell for the bribe.

00:24:55A breakup isn't the end.

00:24:57It's a fresh start.

00:24:58I'm on your side.

00:25:00There are plenty of dads in the world.

00:25:02If this one doesn't work out, we can find another.

00:25:05It's just a man, Mommy.

00:25:06I'll support whatever you choose.

00:25:10See that, Mr. Ashford?

00:25:12Let go.

00:25:13The longer you drag this out, the worse it gets.

00:25:15I don't care.

00:25:16I brought my luggage.

00:25:17I'm staying here.

00:25:18Mommy, we could use an extra pair of hands around here.

00:25:22Why not keep him as the guy who pays the bills and does the work?

00:25:25I'll keep watch.

00:25:27He won't lay a finger on you.

00:25:29We don't need him.

00:25:31You don't, but we do.

00:25:32I don't want to play by myself, and I don't want people saying we don't have a dad.

00:25:39You handle the housework, the cleaning, and the kids.

00:25:42If you can do that, you can stay and take care of them.

00:25:45If not, you leave.

00:25:46No problem.

00:25:47I'd walk through fire if I had to.

00:25:50One more thing.

00:25:51I get the master bedroom.

00:25:52You stay in the guest room.

00:25:54Don't set foot in my room, or you're out.

00:25:56Fine.

00:25:57No problem.

00:26:06Ethan, sometimes a man has to swallow his pride.

00:26:09Don't take it personally.

00:26:12You can stay, but don't try anything.

00:26:15Watch out for my fist.

00:26:17I must have done something terrible to deserve you, too.

00:26:23Cole, you're in charge of everything at the company.

00:26:25I won't be coming in this month.

00:26:26Mr. Ashford, are you sure that's a good idea?

00:26:29If I say you can handle it, you can handle it.

00:26:32End of story.

00:26:37Anything else you two need?

00:26:38Just ask.

00:26:39Do I start the eggs in cold water or boiling water?

00:26:42How long do they cook?

00:26:43Look it up, now.

00:26:44One second.

00:26:45I'm checking.

00:26:46Got it.

00:26:46Start them in cold water and boil them for eight minutes.

00:26:49Keep the heat low, or the shells will crack.

00:26:51There are 4,380 days until college applications.

00:26:54Wake up and get moving.

00:26:55Our motto is...

00:26:56Work hard now, less when it counts.

00:26:58Go, go, go!

00:27:00They haven't even started kindergarten, and you're already planning for college?

00:27:02You really don't do anything halfway.

00:27:04You don't understand.

00:27:05We don't come from money.

00:27:07If these kids want a real shot, they have to start early.

00:27:10Have you considered that they're Ashfords?

00:27:12They're not exactly starting from the bottom.

00:27:16Interfering with major family decisions, minus one point.

00:27:19Minus one point for what?

00:27:21I thought about it last night.

00:27:22You're on a points system now.

00:27:24Hit 12 points, and you're out of this house.

00:27:26I make the rules.

00:27:27That's seriously how this works?

00:27:28I'm the CEO of a company.

00:27:30If you don't like it, the door's right there.

00:27:34Fine.

00:27:35I'll take it.

00:27:37Be good today.

00:27:39Don't show off what you can do.

00:27:40Don't hurt anyone, and don't go more than three miles from home.

00:27:45Yes, Mommy!

00:27:46Good.

00:27:47Mommy's off to work and makes some money.

00:27:55So this is what life is like for you two?

00:27:57You just do whatever she says?

00:27:58That's not what it is.

00:27:59We just go along with Mommy because it makes her happy.

00:28:02Yeah.

00:28:03Mommy works really hard.

00:28:05We have to be good for her.

00:28:08You two are good kids.

00:28:10Today, I'm going to make sure you have the best day ever.

00:28:14I paid the deposit.

00:28:15Why haven't you done it yet?

00:28:17We've been watching the place.

00:28:19The woman and the kids hardly ever come out together.

00:28:21Then take out the two little kids first.

00:28:23I don't want them alive by tomorrow.

00:28:26You got it.

00:28:27We can move now.

00:28:29Good.

00:28:30I'll be waiting for the good news.

00:28:34Emma, this is what you get for going up against me.

00:28:38Boss, are we doing this?

00:28:39The guys are getting restless.

00:28:42Do it.

00:28:43Take out the kids first.

00:28:45Black Wolf, ram them.

00:28:47Vulture and I will follow.

00:28:48Black Wolf copies.

00:28:49Moving now.

00:28:56Leo, Lily, watch for traffic.

00:29:02Look out!

00:29:05Big mistake.

00:29:07Big mistake.

00:29:19Leo, you okay?

00:29:20Just a little excitement, as long as you're having fun.

00:29:25Boss, is that even human?

00:29:27I have no idea.

00:29:28We picked a fight with the wrong people.

00:29:30Do we keep going?

00:29:31Keep going!

00:29:31Hell no!

00:29:32Drive!

00:29:32We're getting out of here!

00:29:33Yeah!

00:29:35Yeah!

00:29:36Well, I'll be damned.

00:29:37What have you been eating?

00:29:38No wonder your mom lets you two stay on your own.

00:29:41No one can hurt you.

00:29:42You're impressed by her?

00:29:43My abilities are even better.

00:29:45Oh, really?

00:29:46And what exactly can you do?

00:29:47You're not ready for that answer.

00:29:49What does that mean?

00:29:50He means he's good at bragging.

00:29:51What else can you do?

00:29:52Back to the important part.

00:29:54That car was trying to hit us.

00:29:55Someone's coming after us.

00:29:57We need to warn Mommy right now.

00:29:58Right!

00:29:58Protect Mommy at all costs.

00:30:00Leave it to me.

00:30:02Get someone to Emma now.

00:30:03Spare no expense.

00:30:04Move!

00:30:10Emma, I knew you had it in you.

00:30:12The client loved your pitch.

00:30:13Really?

00:30:14It's my first time handling a client this big.

00:30:16I wasn't sure I could pull it off.

00:30:18Trust yourself.

00:30:19You've got real talent.

00:30:21Then I should be thanking you for giving me the chance.

00:30:27Mommy, be careful.

00:30:29Someone tried to hurt us, and they might come after you next.

00:30:32What?

00:30:33You almost got hit?

00:30:34Weren't you with Ethan?

00:30:36Put him on.

00:30:38Ethan, is this how you look after our children?

00:30:44Is your mom always this intense?

00:30:49Emma, the kids are fine.

00:30:51We're worried about you now.

00:30:53I'll be careful.

00:30:54Bring the kids to me.

00:30:59What happened?

00:31:00Someone tried to hurt us.

00:31:01Do you have any idea who would do that?

00:31:03I've been gone for six years.

00:31:04I just came back, and someone's already targeting me.

00:31:07It doesn't take much to guess Victoria's behind it.

00:31:10Don't worry.

00:31:11I'll do everything I can to keep you safe.

00:31:14I appreciate that, Nathan, but sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for you.

00:31:19I'll prove I mean it.

00:31:20I haven't changed since college.

00:31:23What?

00:31:23The job failed?

00:31:24You have no idea what kind of trouble you got me into.

00:31:27Do you even know who you went after?

00:31:28We can't touch them.

00:31:29That's impossible.

00:31:31Emma isn't that powerful.

00:31:32It wasn't the mother.

00:31:33It was the kids.

00:31:34Either way, you're on your own now.

00:31:36The kids?

00:31:37What could two little kids possibly do?

00:31:39None of this makes sense.

00:31:42That's it?

00:31:43They're just kids.

00:31:44I can still use them against her.

00:31:50Mrs. Ashford, there's something you need to know.

00:31:52What is it?

00:31:54Emma is back.

00:31:56And she has two children.

00:31:58That woman has always been shameless.

00:32:01After all these years, I'm not surprised she has children with someone else.

00:32:04But they're five years old.

00:32:07Five?

00:32:08Then they must be Ethan's.

00:32:09Yes.

00:32:10They're Ashford children.

00:32:12Ethan won't leave their side now.

00:32:14Why is he so attached to them?

00:32:16Because Emma won't let him get close to the kids.

00:32:19Those children are Ashford's.

00:32:21I won't leave them with a woman like her.

00:32:23My poor grandchildren.

00:32:25Who knows what they've been put through.

00:32:26Come on.

00:32:27We're bringing them home.

00:32:28Once I get those children away from Emma, she'll have nothing left.

00:32:34Mommy, I missed you so much.

00:32:36I was so scared.

00:32:38I was even more scared.

00:32:40I thought I was going to close my eyes and never open them again.

00:32:44I should have known.

00:32:45These two are little actors.

00:32:47It's okay.

00:32:48As long as we're together, we can get through anything.

00:32:52And you've got me too.

00:32:54I'll help however I can.

00:32:56And what exactly are you doing here?

00:32:58Does everything have to be about you?

00:33:00Emma just said the three of them are a family.

00:33:03It'll be four soon enough.

00:33:07After what happened, you should go home and rest today.

00:33:09The kids come first.

00:33:14But there are still a few things to finish on this proposal.

00:33:16They can wait.

00:33:17Nothing matters more than you and the kids being safe.

00:33:19Nathan, you're really nice.

00:33:21And handsome, too.

00:33:23I think Dad's pretty great, too.

00:33:26Maybe he only stayed away because he had no choice.

00:33:29They say daughters are Daddy's girls.

00:33:32But my son's the sweet one.

00:33:35Mommy!

00:33:36Dad's being mean to me!

00:33:37It's fine.

00:33:39He's only your father biologically.

00:33:41Whether he likes you doesn't matter.

00:33:43Come on.

00:33:44I'll drive you home.

00:33:45Thank you, Nathan.

00:33:49Wait.

00:33:51Since when am I the outsider here?

00:33:57This is Ashford.

00:33:58Those are the children.

00:34:00Look at them.

00:34:01They're beautiful.

00:34:02They look just like Ethan did at that age.

00:34:05Emma!

00:34:07What do you want?

00:34:08And who are you?

00:34:09He's Emma's old flame.

00:34:10One look at them and you can tell there's something going on.

00:34:14Shameless.

00:34:15Don't talk about my mommy like that, you old witch!

00:34:17What did you call me?

00:34:18An old witch.

00:34:20One look at you and I can tell you're mean.

00:34:23They're really Ethan's children?

00:34:24There he is.

00:34:25Ask him.

00:34:27Ethan, are they yours?

00:34:31Look at the way those kids talk.

00:34:33They get it from their mother!

00:34:35Mother!

00:34:37Now I understand why you want nothing to do with the Ashford's.

00:34:40No one should have to live with this.

00:34:42No.

00:34:43You've got it wrong.

00:34:45I was never part of the Ashford family.

00:34:47Ethan and I were never even married.

00:34:49At most, I picked the wrong man to have children with.

00:34:51See?

00:34:52A woman like that could never belong in our family.

00:34:54But those children are Ashford blood.

00:34:56They're coming home with us.

00:35:00Sure.

00:35:01Let's see if you can actually take them.

00:35:04Mommy never leaves us.

00:35:06We never leave mommy.

00:35:07Mess with my mommy and you'll regret it.

00:35:13What are you waiting for?

00:35:14Get the kids into the car.

00:35:17Lily, don't hit them too hard.

00:35:19A few broken bones should do it.

00:35:23Yes, mommy.

00:35:34How is that possible?

00:35:36Is that thing even human?

00:35:37I'd heard you were super strong.

00:35:39I didn't know you were that good.

00:35:40Oh, it's nothing.

00:35:41I'm basically a local legend.

00:35:44Victoria, am I seeing things?

00:35:46No, you're not.

00:35:46That child is a menace.

00:35:48What are we supposed to do now?

00:35:49She's barely old enough for school and we can't even take the kids back.

00:35:52Don't worry.

00:35:53No matter how wild they are, they still have Ashfield blood.

00:35:56They'll come back to the family eventually.

00:35:58That's right.

00:35:59They're my grandchildren.

00:36:01Ethan, I don't care how you do it.

00:36:02Bring those children back to the Ashman house within a week.

00:36:04Mom, why force this?

00:36:05They're doing fine where they are.

00:36:06Fine.

00:36:06If you don't grow a spine, your children will end up calling some other man their father.

00:36:11Fine.

00:36:12I'll do what I can.

00:36:14Leo, Lily, we're leaving.

00:36:17Stay away from my mommy.

00:36:19I don't play nice.

00:36:26That Emma is unbelievable.

00:36:28She really is a piece of work.

00:36:31The children will come back to the Ashburns.

00:36:34But if they stay with Emma, who knows what kind of people they'll grow into.

00:36:38You're right.

00:36:39I may have to take a different approach.

00:36:41What are you thinking?

00:36:45Tell me something.

00:36:46If their mother were gone, wouldn't the kids have to go to their father?

00:36:50Get rid of the mother and keep the kids?

00:36:52Brilliant.

00:36:54Finally, I can make her do the dirty work for me.

00:36:57Emma won't know what hit her.

00:36:58Nathan, they're home.

00:36:59You can get back to whatever you were doing.

00:37:01Why are you still here?

00:37:04I live here.

00:37:06He only gets the guest room.

00:37:08Mommy doesn't even talk to him.

00:37:12That one stung, huh?

00:37:14Tell me what you want, Lily.

00:37:15I'll make it happen.

00:37:17I want mommy to be happy every day.

00:37:19I don't want her worrying about money just to take care of us.

00:37:24That's a wish I can get behind.

00:37:26He's good.

00:37:27He's using the kids to get to her.

00:37:29Leo, aren't you going to say something for me?

00:37:32Nope.

00:37:32I'm not that easy to buy.

00:37:34Not even for your own dad?

00:37:36Fair competition.

00:37:37I don't play favorites.

00:37:39Rules are rules, but you can still make an exception for family.

00:37:43I don't bend the rules for anyone.

00:37:45Not even you.

00:37:46Okay.

00:37:47Respect.

00:37:54Nathan, we're out of food.

00:37:56Do you want to grab dinner somewhere?

00:37:59Mommy, can we have a picnic?

00:38:01Yes!

00:38:01We can watch the sunset and then look at the stars.

00:38:03What do you think?

00:38:05Let's give them what they want.

00:38:06I'm good with anything.

00:38:08I'll choose the spot.

00:38:09You'll love it.

00:38:14Cole, find me a beautiful picnic spot.

00:38:17Make it feel special.

00:38:18And send over the biggest bouquet you can arrange.

00:38:20Alan, get me a guitar and plenty of food the kids will love.

00:38:23Is this about to get fun?

00:38:24Absolutely.

00:38:25Let's see who wins mommy over.

00:38:27I love watching guys fight over mommy.

00:38:30Give me a minute to change, then we'll go.

00:38:34Well, worth the trip?

00:38:37Yeah.

00:38:38Leo and Lily love this kind of thing.

00:38:41This takes me back to college.

00:38:43Back when everything felt easy.

00:38:46It does feel nice.

00:38:51Want to hear a handsome guy play a song?

00:38:55Whenever you're ready.

00:38:58This one's for someone I've never really forgotten.

00:39:01When the whole world goes quiet, I still hear your name.

00:39:05Every road I take keeps leading me back again.

00:39:08Years may change us, but they won't change what I feel.

00:39:12If you reach for me tonight, I'll know this love is real.

00:39:19I want you!

00:39:22Not bad.

00:39:23You've got my vote.

00:39:28Where are my roses?

00:39:30If they're not here in five minutes, start looking for a new job.

00:39:32Contestant number two, do you have a talent?

00:39:35Me?

00:39:36No, I don't have a talent.

00:39:39Emma, it's been a while since you played.

00:39:41Why don't you give the kids a song?

00:39:42Mommy can play guitar?

00:39:44She worked so hard to take care of us.

00:39:46She never got to show anyone what she could do.

00:39:51Well, okay.

00:39:53Night settles in the city fades away.

00:39:57I hear the old song I forgot to play.

00:40:01Somewhere between the dark and dawn.

00:40:04I find the strength to carry on.

00:40:08That's the Emma I remember.

00:40:09She still has that same spark.

00:40:11I had no idea she could do that.

00:40:13She's incredible.

00:40:17Mommy, you're my favorite person in the world.

00:40:21I want to be gentle like you.

00:40:23I don't want to be tough all the time.

00:40:29Roses?

00:40:29Ethan, that's so predictable.

00:40:33You don't know mommy at all.

00:40:37Ethan, I'm a mother of two.

00:40:39Roses and sweet talk aren't really my thing anymore.

00:40:41I appreciate the gesture, but you shouldn't have spent the money.

00:40:43Give them to someone else.

00:40:46What did I do wrong?

00:40:47I have no idea.

00:40:48Women are impossible to read.

00:40:50Useless.

00:40:50Why do I even keep you around?

00:40:52One guy is playing the nostalgia card.

00:40:54The other one has no game at all.

00:40:56Ethan's losing badly.

00:40:57Mr. Smooth versus Mr. Clunas.

00:41:00Knockout.

00:41:03Hey, you two hungry?

00:41:04We can fire up the grill.

00:41:05Yes, and put extra season on mine.

00:41:18Find out what gets through to Emma.

00:41:19I want options.

00:41:20Lots of them.

00:41:22Mr. Ashford, I'm single.

00:41:24This is way above my pay grade.

00:41:25I don't care.

00:41:26Figure it out.

00:41:36I have eyes on the target.

00:41:38The money's in your account.

00:41:40Ethan Ashfield is there too.

00:41:42Do not hurt him.

00:41:44Mommy, do you like Nathan?

00:41:47Nathan and I were close friends in college.

00:41:50We were happy together.

00:41:51If certain things hadn't happened, maybe...

00:41:55Maybe Lily and I wouldn't be here?

00:41:58That was a long time ago.

00:42:00Some regrets you just have to live with.

00:42:02If you regret it, just fix it.

00:42:05I wish it were that simple.

00:42:07Some things you can fight for.

00:42:09Others just aren't up to you.

00:42:11Mommy, I have to pee.

00:42:13Me too.

00:42:15All right.

00:42:16I'll find you a restroom.

00:42:17I'll come with you.

00:42:18I need to go too.

00:42:21You're coming along for this too?

00:42:22Hey, everybody has to go.

00:42:43I'm calling an ambulance!

00:42:47Mommy, you're worried about him.

00:42:49I am.

00:42:51I don't love him anymore, but I still don't want him to die.

00:42:55Love is messy.

00:42:57Once it gets tangled, it's hard to sort out.

00:42:59Can you stop?

00:43:00If Ethan dies, we won't have a dad.

00:43:04We've all had a rough time.

00:43:06Let's just get through today first.

00:43:08Emma, try not to panic.

00:43:10The injury didn't affect anything vital.

00:43:12Doesn't it strike you as strange?

00:43:14Someone keeps coming after you.

00:43:16Leo, what do you think?

00:43:17From a criminal psychology standpoint, whoever did this has a strong motive.

00:43:22So, who benefits if you disappear?

00:43:25Someone in the Ashford family!

00:43:33The hit went wrong.

00:43:35I think I hit Ethan too.

00:43:36You hit the Ashford air?

00:43:37Get out of town, now!

00:43:39You useless idiot.

00:43:40You couldn't even handle one simple job.

00:43:42How is Ethan?

00:43:43The writer says he pulled back when Ethan stepped in.

00:43:46The injury shouldn't be serious.

00:43:49That woman has brought nothing but trouble to my son.

00:43:52Come on, we're going to the hospital.

00:43:55The surgery went well.

00:43:57He should be able to go home in a few days.

00:43:58Good news!

00:43:59Your dad made it!

00:44:01Were you hoping he wouldn't so you could collect the inheritance?

00:44:05Wait, there's an inheritance?

00:44:06How much?

00:44:07Lily, don't joke about that.

00:44:17You saved me.

00:44:19If you hadn't stepped in, I might not have made it.

00:44:22For you, I'd take the hit every time.

00:44:27You don't have to keep doing this for me.

00:44:29I don't want to owe you more than I already do.

00:44:31You're the college girl who won that design award?

00:44:36You're pretty, but you're not Ashford material.

00:44:39Ma'am, you've got the wrong idea.

00:44:43Ethan and I aren't together.

00:44:44You may not be together, but my son is completely taken with you.

00:44:49I will not allow someone from a family like yours to marry into mine.

00:44:53Don't worry.

00:44:54I'll stay away from Ethan.

00:44:56A family like yours is way out of my league anyway.

00:44:58I don't understand.

00:45:00Why have you kept pushing me away?

00:45:02Because I'm not good enough for you.

00:45:05Get some rest.

00:45:05What do you want to eat?

00:45:06I'll get it for you.

00:45:08Anything.

00:45:08If you're the one getting it, I'll eat it.

00:45:17You weren't hurt that badly.

00:45:19You're right.

00:45:20It's a minor wound.

00:45:21So what?

00:45:22You need to stop chasing after Emma.

00:45:25But I'm the father of her children.

00:45:28You still don't get it.

00:45:30Every time you get close to Emma, she ends up in danger.

00:45:33You won't always be there to save her.

00:45:36You mean someone close to me is trying to hurt her?

00:45:38For a CEO, you're surprisingly slow.

00:45:41It's right in front of you.

00:45:44I'll find out who did this.

00:45:46And if it was someone close to me, I'll make it right with Emma.

00:45:49What if the person behind it is family?

00:45:51What will you choose then?

00:45:53That's impossible.

00:45:54Why would they do this to Emma?

00:45:56Still naive.

00:45:58If you really want Emma to be safe, stay away from her.

00:46:04Ethan, where are you hurt?

00:46:05You scared me to death.

00:46:06I'm fine.

00:46:08It's just a scratch.

00:46:09That woman brings nothing but bad luck.

00:46:12That psychic was right all those years ago.

00:46:15The two of you were never meant to be together.

00:46:17And now look what happened.

00:46:19Mom, do you really still believe that stuff?

00:46:25Butler, find out who had the nerve to attack an Ashford.

00:46:28Yes, ma'am.

00:46:31Or maybe the person asking who did it already knows.

00:46:33You don't get to accuse me like that.

00:46:36Why would I hurt my own son?

00:46:38You weren't the target.

00:46:40Emma was.

00:46:41That's impossible.

00:46:43Why would I waste my time on some nobody like her?

00:46:48I think it's possible.

00:46:49You never wanted Mommy around, and you want to take us away.

00:46:52If she's gone, we go back to the Ashords.

00:46:55That gives you a motive.

00:46:56If that's the motive you were talking about, pretty good.

00:46:59Sweetheart, I'm not some monster.

00:47:02Then let's find whoever did it and clear this up.

00:47:05Fine.

00:47:06Butler, use every resource we have.

00:47:09Find whoever did this, no matter where they're hiding.

00:47:11I noticed something interesting in his expression just now.

00:47:15Maybe he knows more than he's letting on.

00:47:17Leo, I'm an honest man.

00:47:18I wouldn't hurt a fly.

00:47:20Really?

00:47:20I'm not three years old.

00:47:22We're five.

00:47:24This is all because of you!

00:47:26You turned my grandchildren against me!

00:47:28Try anything, and you'll regret it.

00:47:31Ma'am, Ethan is fine.

00:47:34We should leave before this gets worse.

00:47:37Fine.

00:47:39I've had enough of looking at her.

00:47:42Don't get too comfortable, Emma.

00:47:44Those children are coming back to the Ashens.

00:47:50You've been hurt.

00:47:52Have some soup.

00:47:53It's easy on your stomach.

00:47:59Have you been keeping your distance because of my mother?

00:48:03There's no future for us.

00:48:05For everyone's sake, let's just stay friends.

00:48:07But I'm the father of your children!

00:48:09So what?

00:48:10Millions of couples split up every year.

00:48:12Having kids together doesn't mean we have to get back together.

00:48:15Ethan, please, let me go.

00:48:17Mommy's upset.

00:48:18I want to hit somebody.

00:48:19Mommy, calm down.

00:48:21Lily's about to lose it.

00:48:22If you love her, let her go.

00:48:24Stop making this harder for her.

00:48:30Why?

00:48:32Why won't she let me try?

00:48:37Hey, Lily.

00:48:38Is your mommy up?

00:48:39No.

00:48:40Mommy's sick.

00:48:43What happened?

00:48:44She was fine yesterday.

00:48:45Maybe somebody hurt her feelings.

00:48:47Feelings get hurt pretty easily.

00:48:51Nathan, I'm sorry.

00:48:53I'm not feeling great today.

00:48:54Could you take the kids for a while?

00:48:56What's wrong?

00:48:57Do you want me to take you to a doctor?

00:48:59No.

00:49:00I just need to sleep.

00:49:02I'll feel better after I rest.

00:49:08All right.

00:49:09You two are with me today.

00:49:10Where do you want to go?

00:49:11The bookstore.

00:49:12The gym.

00:49:14Done.

00:49:15We'll do both.

00:49:22Bookstore first or the gym first?

00:49:26Neither.

00:49:27We're finding the person who attacked mommy.

00:49:30How are we supposed to do that?

00:49:33Give me a computer with internet access.

00:49:35We'll handle the rest.

00:49:37Don't worry.

00:49:38We're professionals.

00:49:45This is my computer.

00:49:46Go ahead.

00:49:48I've sent the details to one of my contacts.

00:49:51He'll help us find the attacker.

00:49:53You have an adult contact who can do this?

00:49:55He's an older guy.

00:49:57Leo got him to help.

00:49:59How did he manage that?

00:50:00Leo can be very persuasive.

00:50:03His people are already looking into it.

00:50:05We'll hear something soon.

00:50:07Does your mommy know about any of this?

00:50:09No.

00:50:09It would only worry her.

00:50:11And mommy would ground Leo forever if she found out.

00:50:15So Emma has no idea how much you two are hiding from her.

00:50:18You can't tell mommy.

00:50:20Promise?

00:50:21Promise.

00:50:26Is this how you treat guests?

00:50:29What's wrong with it?

00:50:30If you want to get close to mommy, you need to win us over.

00:50:34Bring desserts.

00:50:35Lots of them.

00:50:37Right.

00:50:37I'll fix that.

00:50:41Mr. Reed.

00:50:42Someone is here to see the children.

00:50:44He says he has information for Leo.

00:50:45For you?

00:50:46Let him in.

00:50:48The hit was posted on a dark web network.

00:50:51The hitman goes by 10-08-3.

00:50:53He's hiding in a nearby city.

00:50:55He tried to hurt mommy.

00:50:56He's going to regret that.

00:50:57He's low level.

00:50:58He didn't have access to any information about you.

00:51:00I don't care about the middleman.

00:51:01Who paid for it?

00:51:03We normally keep client identities confidential.

00:51:05But my boss said we can make an exception for you.

00:51:08The order came from the Ashford family's head butler.

00:51:11I knew it!

00:51:12That's all I needed.

00:51:14Tell your boss I owe him one.

00:51:15Thanks.

00:51:16Thanks.

00:51:18What do we do now?

00:51:19Do we tell mommy?

00:51:21We do.

00:51:21But we're not telling her ourselves.

00:51:25I'll tell her.

00:51:33Mommy, we had so much fun today.

00:51:37Nathan, thanks for helping me today.

00:51:39Of course.

00:51:40Are you feeling better?

00:51:41Much better after a nap.

00:51:43Good.

00:51:43There's something you need to know.

00:51:48We found the attacker.

00:51:49He was a professional hired through an anonymous network.

00:51:52The order came from the Ashford family's head butler.

00:51:54What?

00:51:55Why would he do that?

00:51:57Because if you were gone, the children could be taken back to the Ashfords without a fight.

00:52:04That's monstrous.

00:52:06Sooner or later, Ethan has to choose between you and his mother.

00:52:10If he sides with her, you'll never be safe around the Asholds.

00:52:16That's why I gave up on ever marrying into a rich family.

00:52:18If it weren't for the kids, I'd have nothing to do with Ethan or the Asholds.

00:52:23What are you going to do?

00:52:26What can I do?

00:52:28I can't take on the Ashfords by myself.

00:52:30I'll take the kids somewhere else once things settle down.

00:52:37Emma, I know a way to get Ethan to leave you alone.

00:52:42What way?

00:52:44Marry me.

00:52:47Uh-oh.

00:52:48Mommy might get married.

00:52:50I support whatever makes Mommy happy.

00:52:52I'll get used to having a steplad.

00:52:54If Mommy's happy, I'm okay.

00:52:56Emma, I fell for you in college and I never really stopped.

00:52:59Even now, one smile from you still gets me.

00:53:02If you'll have me, I want a life with you, Leo and Lily.

00:53:07Leo and Lily?

00:53:09But I'm...

00:53:09No buts.

00:53:10Even if you're carrying Ethan's twins, you're not coming through that door.

00:53:14End the pregnancy before you bring any more trouble to my son.

00:53:18Ethan and I were never going to have a happy ending.

00:53:20But Leo and Lily need a father in their lives.

00:53:27I've kept this ring around my neck for five years, waiting for the day I could put it on your

00:53:31finger.

00:53:32Nathan.

00:53:35I'll bet a whole pack of snacks Mommy says yes.

00:53:38No bet.

00:53:39Three, two, one.

00:53:41If you're willing to love Leo and Lily as your own, then yes.

00:53:43I'll marry you.

00:53:49Mrs. Ashford, my father found two bottles of rare vintage whiskey at an auction.

00:53:54I brought one for you.

00:53:55That was thoughtful, Victoria.

00:53:57Something's wrong.

00:53:58You look upset.

00:54:00Don't ask.

00:54:02Emma has pushed me too far.

00:54:04What did she do?

00:54:05She was supposed to disappear.

00:54:07Instead, Ethan took the hit for her.

00:54:09Ethan was hurt?

00:54:10Where is he?

00:54:11Use this chance to stay by his side.

00:54:13Maybe he'll finally see what you can offer him.

00:54:15And you'll become my daughter-in-law.

00:54:17I'll do everything I can.

00:54:21Ethan.

00:54:22I'm sorry I didn't hear sooner.

00:54:23What happened to you?

00:54:24Save the act.

00:54:25Were you involved in the attacks on Emma?

00:54:27Why would I hurt her?

00:54:28She doesn't even compares to me.

00:54:29I'll get to the bottom of this.

00:54:30And when I do, I'll know exactly who was behind it.

00:54:32It wasn't me.

00:54:34You're accusing me after everything I've done for you.

00:54:39Ethan, Mommy found her happy ending.

00:54:42You should find yours too.

00:54:44Her happy ending?

00:54:45What does that mean?

00:54:47Wait.

00:54:48No.

00:54:50Ethan, where are you going?

00:54:52To find my happy ending.

00:55:01Nathan can cook.

00:55:03We're going to eat well.

00:55:04He's already better than Ethan.

00:55:06If Nathan lives with us, would either of you mind?

00:55:09I don't mind.

00:55:10Then nobody can say we don't have a dad anymore.

00:55:15What difference does it make?

00:55:16With the Ashfords being such a mess,

00:55:18I guess I'm not becoming a trust fund kid after all.

00:55:22I was hoping to inherit and do nothing.

00:55:24Who says I can't make you one?

00:55:25I'll work hard.

00:55:26Don't encourage him.

00:55:27When he turns 18, he's on his own.

00:55:29What about me?

00:55:31You get support until you're old enough to leave home.

00:55:34Yes!

00:55:35Mommy's the best!

00:55:37Being a boy is rough.

00:55:41Nathan Reed, do you enjoy inserting yourself into other people's lives?

00:55:44You're wrong.

00:55:45I've loved Emma for a long time.

00:55:46I just got here too late.

00:55:47You want to be my children's stepmother?

00:55:49You think you're good enough for that?

00:55:51That isn't your decision to make.

00:55:53Your things.

00:55:54I said yes to Nathan.

00:55:56Please don't come back here and interfere with our lives.

00:55:59I want to see Leo and Lily.

00:56:00You'll see them once a week.

00:56:02The rest of the time, leave us alone.

00:56:07Mr. Ashfield.

00:56:08I'm fine.

00:56:09It just hurts.

00:56:16Those two kids have to go.

00:56:17Otherwise, Ethan will never come back to me.

00:56:20Dr. Morgan, I heard your lab studies people with unusual abilities.

00:56:23I happen to know a little girl with incredible strength.

00:56:26Yes.

00:56:27I'll send you the information now.

00:56:29Mommy, when are you and Nathan getting married?

00:56:32Ask Nathan.

00:56:33I'd like to keep it simple.

00:56:35Simple?

00:56:36No.

00:56:36You deserve a beautiful wedding.

00:56:38You do deserve it, Mommy.

00:56:40A wedding is just a ceremony.

00:56:42What matters is that we're safe, happy, and together.

00:56:44Will we get a little brother or sister?

00:56:47That depends on Nathan.

00:56:48Then we'll have to work on that.

00:56:50Would you rather have a little brother or a little sister?

00:56:52A brother.

00:56:53If it's a sister, I'd feel bad picking on her.

00:56:56All right.

00:56:58We'll try for a little sister.

00:57:02Dr. Morgan, compound seven is ready.

00:57:05It makes the test subject five times stronger and three times faster.

00:57:08Good.

00:57:09But five times stronger still isn't enough.

00:57:12That's the absolute limit of what we've been able to achieve.

00:57:15No.

00:57:16I just received a report about a little girl who threw a car several dozen yards.

00:57:20That's the ability we've been looking for.

00:57:22A child with extraordinary abilities?

00:57:23Exactly.

00:57:24Her DNA could be priceless.

00:57:26Contact the Vanguard team, send them to Briarwood, and bring her back.

00:57:30Understood.

00:57:36The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout.

00:57:41You got your movie.

00:57:42Now you two are going straight to bed when we get home.

00:57:45Don't worry.

00:57:47We won't get in the way.

00:57:57Please tell me those aren't more hit men.

00:58:00They picked the wrong family.

00:58:01Lily, get ready.

00:58:03Lily, get ready.

00:58:08Yes, Mommy.

00:58:09Should we get out there?

00:58:10Stay in the car.

00:58:11It's safer.

00:58:16That's her.

00:58:16The little girl in the picture.

00:58:17Take her.

00:58:18Move.

00:58:21Who are you, people?

00:58:23The Vanguard.

00:58:24Elite operatives.

00:58:26So, you're the ones who came for me?

00:58:28That's right.

00:58:29Come quietly, kid.

00:58:31Or you'll regret it.

00:58:32I'm not the one who's going to regret this.

00:58:35What does that mean?

00:58:36It means I'm about to put you all on the ground.

00:58:38Get her!

00:58:43Dr. Morgan, she's even stronger than the report said.

00:58:45Perfect.

00:58:46She's exactly what we've been searching for.

00:58:48Mara, use Compound 3.

00:58:50Right away.

00:58:56Lily, watch out!

00:58:58What is that?

00:58:58It smells kind of nice.

00:59:00Don't breathe it in!

00:59:00What did you figure out?

00:59:02They came prepared.

00:59:03They never planned to fight us head on.

00:59:05Why are there stars everywhere?

00:59:09Lily!

00:59:10Baby, stay with me!

00:59:11Who the hell are you?

00:59:13Hand over the children, and you walk away.

00:59:15Not a chance.

00:59:16You'll have to get through me first.

00:59:18You should have moved.

00:59:21Nathan!

00:59:25Take the children.

00:59:26Mommy!

00:59:27Help!

00:59:28No!

00:59:28Leave my children alone!

00:59:31Emma, I'm sorry.

00:59:33I won't get to grow old with you after all.

00:59:36No!

00:59:37Stay with me!

00:59:38Don't you dare close your eyes!

00:59:44It was worth it.

00:59:49No!

00:59:56Lily, wake up!

00:59:57Come on!

00:59:58That sedative could drop an elephant.

01:00:00She won't wake up for two days.

01:00:03You don't know Lily very well.

01:00:06Lily, wake up!

01:00:07I'm about to eat all the chicken nuggets Mommy made.

01:00:10Put down my nuggets!

01:00:13See?

01:00:14Told you.

01:00:15What?

01:00:16That's impossible.

01:00:17Get the restraints!

01:00:19You tied me up?

01:00:21I'm going to make you regret that!

01:00:24Go, Lily!

01:00:25Take them down!

01:00:28Go!

01:00:47You attacked us from behind.

01:00:49That's not fair.

01:00:50Why did you take us?

01:00:51Start talking.

01:00:53Research.

01:00:54Scientific research.

01:00:56We're trying to help humanity.

01:00:58That's not research.

01:00:59You kidnapped us.

01:01:02Told you he was bad.

01:01:03Dad.

01:01:05Yeah.

01:01:06Definitely guilty.

01:01:09Get him!

01:01:11Nathan Reed didn't make it.

01:01:12I'm so sorry.

01:01:13Our special investigations unit will find who did this and bring your children home.

01:01:20Emma, I have good news.

01:01:22Your children have been found.

01:01:23Our team is bringing them back now.

01:01:25Leo and Lily are coming back?

01:01:28Mommy, I missed you.

01:01:29You have no idea how close that was.

01:01:31Where's Nathan?

01:01:37Nathan had to go somewhere very far away.

01:01:39I'll always remember him.

01:01:42He'll always be my hope.

01:02:09Let's go home.

01:02:10No one is ever going to separate us again.

01:02:16I heard about Nathan.

01:02:17I'm sorry.

01:02:18You don't have to go through this alone.

01:02:19I'll handle it.

01:02:19You don't need to worry about me.

01:02:20I'm just trying to be there for you and the kids.

01:02:22That's kind of you.

01:02:23But we should keep our distance.

01:02:25Mommy, I'm hungry.

01:02:28Wash up.

01:02:29We'll go get something to eat.

01:02:31Mommy feels different.

01:02:32Yeah.

01:02:33She's got a scary look now.

01:02:34Oh no.

01:02:35Mommy's ready to fight back.

01:02:37Go, Mommy.

01:02:38Don't let anyone stand in your way.

01:02:40Nathan is gone.

01:02:41How are we supposed to keep the company running?

01:02:42We still have contracts to fulfill.

01:02:44The clients won't stop calling.

01:02:45Are we about to lose the company?

01:02:46This company is not going under.

01:02:48I'll finish what Nathan started and make this company stronger.

01:02:51You?

01:02:52What makes you qualified?

01:02:53Sleeping your way to the top?

01:02:54And how do we know Nathan's death had nothing to do with you?

01:02:57After Nathan proposed, he transferred shares to me.

01:03:00I'm now the company's largest shareholder.

01:03:03If anyone has a problem with that, you can resign today.

01:03:09Mommy, are you taking over Nathan's company?

01:03:12I am.

01:03:13I won't let everything he built go to waste.

01:03:16I could help you.

01:03:18How?

01:03:18One call from me and plenty of powerful people will be lining up to work with you.

01:03:24That's enough.

01:03:25Go read your book while Mommy gets to work.

01:03:27Mommy still doesn't believe us.

01:03:29You did tell her to keep everything secret.

01:03:31Fine.

01:03:32No more hiding it.

01:03:33We're kind of a big deal.

01:03:35Then prove it.

01:03:36I need a hundred dollars for chicken nuggets.

01:03:40Fine.

01:03:41I'll make a call.

01:03:44So you took over this little company.

01:03:47A few dozen employees?

01:03:50Even my smallest regional office is bigger than this.

01:03:53Did you need something?

01:03:55We don't do business with the Vale Group.

01:03:57I'm here to give you a warning.

01:03:59Leave Briarwood or I'll shut this company down before the hour is over.

01:04:02And your dead fiancé would turn in his grave watching you lose everything he built.

01:04:08Are you really going to push this that far?

01:04:12Don't worry, Mommy.

01:04:13No one is shutting you down.

01:04:15You again.

01:04:16Once your mother goes broke, you two can sleep on the street.

01:04:20You should stop threatening my mom.

01:04:22The Vale Group might be the one going under.

01:04:26That's adorable.

01:04:27You think a company this small can take on mine?

01:04:30She's making fun of you.

01:04:32Relax.

01:04:33The people I called should be here any minute.

01:04:37Enough.

01:04:38I've put up with you for too long.

01:04:40If you had anything to do with Nathan's death, I'll take you down with me if I have to.

01:04:45That's a threat?

01:04:46What exactly do you have?

01:04:48She has me.

01:04:52Bring out the documents.

01:04:54Ms. Bennett, whichever company you choose to run, Ashford Holdings is prepared to invest five million dollars in it.

01:05:00I appreciate the offer, but I'm not taking your money.

01:05:04Ethan, see?

01:05:05She doesn't know what's good for her.

01:05:08Enough.

01:05:09You're a big reason things between Emma and me got this bad.

01:05:12Ethan, you've got it wrong.

01:05:14I was only following your mother's wishes.

01:05:18Emma, there's a crowd outside.

01:05:20They're all...

01:05:20They're all what?

01:05:23They're some of the biggest names in business.

01:05:30These are some very big names.

01:05:33Victor Hale, the region's biggest private investor, is with them.

01:05:37Why would they come here?

01:05:40Good afternoon.

01:05:41I'm Emma Bennett.

01:05:42Who are you here to see?

01:05:43Mrs. Bennett?

01:05:45That's not who we were told to meet.

01:05:46Who were you told to meet?

01:05:47A contact from the Meridian Development Fund called us.

01:05:50We were told to be here within 15 minutes and meet Mr. Bennett.

01:05:53Then why are we meeting Ms. Bennett?

01:05:57Move aside.

01:05:59The Mr. Bennett you're looking for is right here.

01:06:03You're looking at him.

01:06:06Leo, don't start.

01:06:08Go back inside.

01:06:09Mommy, he's not joking!

01:06:10I need to confirm something.

01:06:15So it really is you.

01:06:16I can't believe you're the famous Mr. Bennett.

01:06:19Mr. Bennett, I'm Victor Hale.

01:06:20I'd like to put $40 million into your mother's company.

01:06:23I'll match it if you'll let me in.

01:06:24So will I.

01:06:25Count me in.

01:06:26Someone explain what's going on.

01:06:28Right now.

01:06:29Mr. Ashford, your $5 million investment is starting to look pretty small.

01:06:35My son is something else.

01:06:37That can't be right.

01:06:38Why is every major investor in the region backing Emma?

01:06:41It's true, Mommy.

01:06:43Leo went online without telling you,

01:06:45and before we knew it, all these big sides were backing him.

01:06:50Wow.

01:06:52Leo, that's kind of incredible.

01:06:56A minute ago, you said you could shut this company down in an hour.

01:07:00Still feeling confident?

01:07:03Emma, I was angry.

01:07:04You know I didn't mean it.

01:07:05Don't hold it against me.

01:07:06She threatened to shut down Miss Bennett's company?

01:07:08That's a bold move for someone who wants to keep doing business around here.

01:07:11She said Mommy's company was nothing next to the Vale Group.

01:07:15She called it Tiny.

01:07:17The Vale Group?

01:07:18That's not exactly a company we need to be afraid of.

01:07:22Then let's show our support for Leo.

01:07:25Start selling our Val positions.

01:07:29I'm in.

01:07:33Emma, please.

01:07:34We know each other.

01:07:36Don't destroy my family's company over this.

01:07:39When you barged into my office and told me to leave Briarwood,

01:07:43did you ever think about giving me a break?

01:07:45Ethan, say something.

01:07:47Please.

01:07:48You brought this on yourself.

01:07:49You asked whether a tiny company could take on yours.

01:07:53Now you know the answer.

01:07:54It can.

01:07:55Are we actually about to make it big?

01:07:57Good thing I never handed my resignation.

01:07:59Stick with Miss Bennett.

01:08:00She's going places.

01:08:08Hi, Dad.

01:08:09What did you do?

01:08:10People are selling our stock.

01:08:11And they're blaming you.

01:08:13Get back here.

01:08:13Now.

01:08:14Dad, calm down.

01:08:15I can explain.

01:08:18Fine, Emma.

01:08:20You win this round.

01:08:22But if the Vale Group goes under,

01:08:23I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life.

01:08:31Thank you all for standing with us.

01:08:33Please, come in.

01:08:35If Mommy says come in, then come in.

01:08:38Of course, Leo.

01:08:39After you.

01:08:41If you ever speak with someone at the Meridian Development Fund,

01:08:45would you put in a good word for us?

01:08:50Mr. Ashford, getting the twins back to the Ashfords just got a lot harder.

01:08:54I thought I'd be the one opening doors for them.

01:08:57Turns out I'm the one trying to keep up.

01:08:59Still, Leo is my son.

01:09:05Whatever helps you sleep at night.

01:09:07Tell me what else you've been hiding from me.

01:09:09Nothing, Major.

01:09:10I took an IQ test and scored 150.

01:09:13Then people kept challenging me online.

01:09:16I beat every single one of them.

01:09:18You scored 150?

01:09:20That's what they told me.

01:09:22Apparently, it was a wreck for that test.

01:09:24So that's where all those people came from.

01:09:26Fine.

01:09:27Put your hands down.

01:09:28I'm not punishing you today.

01:09:29Yes!

01:09:30Mommy wins!

01:09:31Since you're so good at this,

01:09:32can you find out who was behind that overseas biotech lab?

01:09:35Sure.

01:09:36I'll have someone look into it.

01:09:38I need to know who's behind Nathan's death.

01:09:40I want the truth.

01:09:42And whoever did it needs to pay.

01:09:44Yes, ma'am.

01:09:46You're sure the region's biggest players

01:09:48are showing my grandson that much respect?

01:09:51Yes, ma'am.

01:09:52It's hard to believe.

01:09:53My good boy.

01:09:55With him on our side,

01:09:57the Ashburns could become

01:09:58one of the biggest names in business.

01:10:00Victoria's family is taking a beating in the market.

01:10:03She's asking for help.

01:10:03Should I let her in?

01:10:05If this had happened before, I would have.

01:10:08But the Valas are barely standing now.

01:10:10There's no reason to see her.

01:10:11Understood.

01:10:12I'll send her away.

01:10:16Leo, Lily, come on.

01:10:18You're coming to the office with me.

01:10:19Mommy, I want to sleep in today.

01:10:22I don't want to go.

01:10:23If Leo's staying, I'm staying too.

01:10:26I have to protect him.

01:10:27Fine.

01:10:28Stay home and behave.

01:10:29No wandering off.

01:10:34Ethan, you can come get us now.

01:10:36Keep it quiet.

01:10:44Where are we going?

01:10:47I want to look into your mom's past.

01:10:49You mean you want to look into it.

01:10:50You're right.

01:10:51I had a car accident and I lost a lot of my memories.

01:10:54I don't remember what happened between your mom and me.

01:10:57That's rough.

01:10:59Maybe it was just fate.

01:11:03I had someone look into it.

01:11:05This used to be the neighborhood where your mom grew up.

01:11:08But there aren't any houses here.

01:11:10Some of them were torn down.

01:11:12The park was built in their place.

01:11:14Excuse me.

01:11:15Did you know a woman named Emma Bennett?

01:11:17She grew up around here.

01:11:19Emma?

01:11:20Of course.

01:11:21She went to school with my daughter.

01:11:23Sweet kid.

01:11:24Always had a kind word for everyone.

01:11:27Poor thing.

01:11:27She had just gotten into college when she lost both her parents.

01:11:31I don't know how she managed after that.

01:11:35Can't believe mommy went through all that.

01:11:38Hey, sweetheart.

01:11:40Why are you crying?

01:11:42The woman you were talking about is my mommy.

01:11:46Her kids are already this big?

01:11:48Then how do we find out more about her?

01:11:50My daughter went to school with her.

01:11:52I can give you her number.

01:11:54She'll remember more than we do.

01:11:56So, which handsome guy called me?

01:11:59That would be me.

01:12:02I knew it the second I saw you.

01:12:04You look just like Emma.

01:12:06I'm Maya, one of your mom's old classmates.

01:12:09You can call me Aunt Maya.

01:12:10Maya is fine.

01:12:12Aunt Maya makes you sound old.

01:12:15You're a charmer.

01:12:17All right, what do you want to know?

01:12:18What was mommy like back then?

01:12:20Your mom had a rough time.

01:12:22In college, a rich kid kept chasing her,

01:12:25even though she didn't feel the same way.

01:12:27Then she ended up pregnant with you two.

01:12:29What happened after that?

01:12:31His family looked down on her

01:12:32because she didn't come from money.

01:12:33They threw her out.

01:12:34Later, I heard she went overseas to work.

01:12:36That rich kid sounds awful.

01:12:38Was his last name Ashford?

01:12:40That's right.

01:12:41Ethan Ashford.

01:12:43That would be me.

01:12:44You're Ethan Ashford?

01:12:46Don't think your money scares me.

01:12:48I'm about to find something to hit you with

01:12:50for what you put Emma through.

01:12:51Maya, you've got it wrong.

01:12:52I was in a car accident and lost my memory.

01:12:54If I'd remembered her,

01:12:55I never would have let her walk away.

01:12:56Wait.

01:12:58Seriously?

01:12:59This sounds like a soap opera.

01:13:00It's always amnesia

01:13:01or somebody waking up in the wrong bed.

01:13:04It really happened.

01:13:05I know how it sounds.

01:13:09Fine.

01:13:10I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

01:13:12For now.

01:13:14Maya, I need to ask you something.

01:13:16Did Emma really not love me back then?

01:13:18She didn't.

01:13:19She told me back then

01:13:20that marrying into money

01:13:21was never her dream.

01:13:23You kept chasing her

01:13:24until she finally gave you a chance.

01:13:25So I was the only one in love.

01:13:27See?

01:13:28We really were an accident.

01:13:30Don't say that.

01:13:32I love mommy even more now.

01:13:34With you two in her life,

01:13:35I'm sure Emma's happy now.

01:13:37We're going to make sure

01:13:38she's the happiest woman in the world.

01:13:41I will too.

01:13:45Wait.

01:13:46Don't get out yet.

01:13:48What's wrong?

01:13:50Mommy's almost home.

01:13:52Her face says she's here to hurt mommy.

01:13:54Then what are we waiting for?

01:13:56Protect mommy at all costs.

01:14:01Emma Bennett, you ruined the Vale family.

01:14:03Today you're going to pay for it.

01:14:05Victoria, you've tried to hurt me more than once

01:14:07and look where that got you.

01:14:08Spare me the moral lesson.

01:14:09I don't believe in karma.

01:14:11Dr. Morgan, come out.

01:14:12Looks like your luck ran out, Ms. Bennett.

01:14:14We meet again.

01:14:16You.

01:14:17What do you want?

01:14:17We take you and your daughter

01:14:18will come with us willingly.

01:14:19You're using me to get to Lily.

01:14:21That's exactly what we're doing.

01:14:22And if you resist,

01:14:23I'll make sure you regret every second of it.

01:14:25I can have men do things to you

01:14:26that you won't be able to forget.

01:14:28She's asking for it.

01:14:29Let the men teach her a lesson

01:14:30she'll never forget.

01:14:31You really think Lily

01:14:33will let you touch me?

01:14:34Last time we underestimated her.

01:14:36These four have been enhanced.

01:14:37They're faster and stronger

01:14:39than normal people.

01:14:44I can't let them put Lily in danger.

01:14:47I'd rather die

01:14:47than let you use my daughter against me.

01:14:50Leo, Lily,

01:14:52I'm sorry.

01:14:54Nathan,

01:14:55I'll see you soon.

01:14:56I'm going to protect Mommy.

01:14:58Wait, those four are fast.

01:14:59Too fast for you to fight head on.

01:15:00I don't care how fast they are.

01:15:01I'm still going to hit them.

01:15:02Listen to Leo.

01:15:02They want Emma.

01:15:03If you stay out of sight,

01:15:03she has a better chance.

01:15:04Then what do we do?

01:15:05Leo, you're the one

01:15:06who sees things other people miss.

01:15:07Find us a weakness.

01:15:09Give me one minute.

01:15:12Lily has the strength.

01:15:13They have the speed.

01:15:14Slow them down

01:15:15and she can win.

01:15:16I've got it.

01:15:17Listen carefully.

01:15:18Take her.

01:15:21One more step

01:15:22and I do this.

01:15:23You will not use me

01:15:24to get to my daughter.

01:15:25Mommy, don't be scared.

01:15:26We're here.

01:15:33You're cornered.

01:15:33And you're still putting on a show.

01:15:35Take them down.

01:15:40You think those little extinguishers

01:15:42are going to stop us?

01:15:43Try us.

01:15:50Those were enhanced operatives.

01:15:52How did you beat all four of them?

01:15:54It's basic science.

01:15:55If they can't see,

01:15:56they can't use their speed.

01:15:57You're pretty smart.

01:15:58I believe in science now.

01:15:59Dr. Morgan, what do we do?

01:16:01We run, you idiot!

01:16:03Oh!

01:16:08Lily, thank God you were here.

01:16:10I helped too!

01:16:11You both did.

01:16:12I'm so proud of you.

01:16:14Fine.

01:16:15Mom's always right.

01:16:19I'll deal with them.

01:16:20They're going to answer

01:16:21for what they did.

01:16:27Go wash up

01:16:28and get all that dirt off.

01:16:31What happened before

01:16:32was my fault.

01:16:33From now on,

01:16:34I want to do whatever I can

01:16:34to make it right.

01:16:35You don't have to.

01:16:37Leo and Lily

01:16:37are enough for me.

01:16:40Then I'll keep

01:16:41protecting you anyway.

01:16:43I'm not asking you to.

01:16:44Do what you want.

01:16:51You said you wanted

01:16:52to sleep in.

01:16:53You said you'd stay home

01:16:54and protect each other.

01:16:55Then you sneaked out

01:16:55and lied to me.

01:16:56Mommy, I didn't mean to.

01:16:58I swear, Mommy!

01:16:59I had a good reason!

01:17:01Stop swearing!

01:17:02You've made so many promises,

01:17:04I'm starting to lose track.

01:17:07Okay, go ahead.

01:17:09I won't complain.

01:17:11You're getting older,

01:17:11so I'm not going to hit you.

01:17:13But you need to

01:17:14un-understand thing.

01:17:15A relationship

01:17:16isn't just about two people.

01:17:18The Ashfords hurt me

01:17:19too deeply.

01:17:20Ethan and I

01:17:20can't be together.

01:17:22Because of his mother?

01:17:24Partly.

01:17:25She and I

01:17:26will never be family.

01:17:27If you choose

01:17:28the Ashfords,

01:17:29you lose me.

01:17:30I'm on Mommy's side.

01:17:33How about I get back

01:17:35at them

01:17:35from a Mommy

01:17:36and bankrupt

01:17:36Ashford Holly Saints?

01:17:42That kid is 99% attitude.

01:17:44It's not the worst idea.

01:17:45Once the Ashfords go broke,

01:17:47maybe they'll finally

01:17:47stop looking down

01:17:48on everyone.

01:17:49No, we're still family.

01:17:50We should try to work this out,

01:17:51not make things worse.

01:17:53If I stabbed you

01:17:54and apologized afterward,

01:17:55would you just forgive me?

01:17:58That's not what I meant.

01:18:00Some things have to be

01:18:01faced eventually.

01:18:03Like what?

01:18:05Like sitting down

01:18:05with my mother

01:18:06and talking this out.

01:18:09Leo,

01:18:10what did your contact find?

01:18:12I'm checking now.

01:18:15You found something?

01:18:17Mommy,

01:18:18promise you won't

01:18:19get too upset.

01:18:20Just tell me.

01:18:21I'm ready.

01:18:22My contact says

01:18:23Victoria and Grandma

01:18:25ordered the attacks.

01:18:27They both wanted you gone.

01:18:33That can't be true.

01:18:34Why would my mother do this?

01:18:36You said you wanted

01:18:36to talk to your mother.

01:18:37Fine, I'll go.

01:18:38Are you going there

01:18:38to get revenge?

01:18:40If I hired someone

01:18:41to kill her,

01:18:41I'd be no better

01:18:42than they are.

01:18:43I just want the truth

01:18:44and for them to answer

01:18:44for what they did.

01:18:46They may have covered

01:18:47their tracks.

01:18:47There may not be anything

01:18:48that points directly to them.

01:18:49I know.

01:18:50That's why I'm willing

01:18:51to sit down with her.

01:18:53All right.

01:18:55I'll set it up.

01:18:57They're late.

01:18:58Do they have no respect

01:18:59for anyone else's time?

01:19:00If seeing the children

01:19:01is what it takes,

01:19:02it may be worth waiting.

01:19:03Today,

01:19:04I'm bringing my grandchildren home.

01:19:05I'll give up

01:19:05whatever I have to.

01:19:06Give her the right offer

01:19:07and she'll give in.

01:19:08People who come from nothing

01:19:09will always have a price.

01:19:14There are my precious grandchildren.

01:19:16Come here and let Grandma see you.

01:19:26Emma, did you teach them

01:19:27to act like this?

01:19:28Would it matter if I did?

01:19:30You'd blame me either way.

01:19:31You see what kind of woman

01:19:32you chose?

01:19:33Mom, let's talk

01:19:34without attacking each other.

01:19:36The children have no manners

01:19:37and somehow that's my fault?

01:19:40Leo, Lily, say hello.

01:19:42The wicked witch.

01:19:43The old witch.

01:19:48Look at them.

01:19:49Mom, my own grandchildren

01:19:51have been turned against me.

01:19:52You get what you give.

01:19:53You're mean to Mommy,

01:19:54so of course we don't like you.

01:19:59When was I ever cruel to her?

01:20:12You threw Mommy out

01:20:13when she was pregnant with us.

01:20:15You told her to disappear.

01:20:16Then you hired someone to kill her

01:20:18so you could take us.

01:20:19You did all that

01:20:20and you're still acting offended?

01:20:23That woman brought trouble to my son.

01:20:25A psychic told me she would ruin him.

01:20:27And where is your proof

01:20:28that I hired anyone?

01:20:30You want proof?

01:20:32Hitman 1083.

01:20:34Ring a bell?

01:20:35Are you trying to start a war

01:20:36with the Ashford's?

01:20:38I've been sitting here quietly.

01:20:40How did that become my fault too?

01:20:43The attacks in the overseas biotech lab

01:20:45all lead back to you and Victoria.

01:20:47Victoria manipulated me.

01:20:48I didn't know the whole story.

01:20:49The evidence is right in front of you.

01:20:52No one's talking about

01:20:53sending you to prison today.

01:20:54Stop making excuses.

01:20:58Don't mistake my restraint for weakness.

01:21:01I've spent decades

01:21:02building connections in this city.

01:21:03You don't get to push me around.

01:21:04Save it.

01:21:05I'm not the same woman

01:21:06I was back then.

01:21:08So here's the choice.

01:21:09The Ashford survive

01:21:10or they go bankrupt.

01:21:12You decide.

01:21:13You want to bankrupt the Ashford?

01:21:15That's a bold claim.

01:21:17Mom, they can do it.

01:21:18They brought the Veil Group down.

01:21:20The company is finished.

01:21:22They were the ones

01:21:22who took down the Veil Group?

01:21:24That's impossible.

01:21:28The market's still open.

01:21:29Want me to make

01:21:30Ashford Holyings drop next?

01:21:31Leo, don't.

01:21:32I believe you can do it.

01:21:36Ms. Bennett,

01:21:37you offered two choices.

01:21:39What exactly are your terms?

01:21:40Transfer all of the Ashford family's

01:21:42assets and shares

01:21:43to Leo and Lily.

01:21:44Do that

01:21:45and the Ashford stay afloat.

01:21:47Refuse

01:21:47and they go under.

01:21:48There it is.

01:21:49You finally showed

01:21:50what you really want.

01:21:51What's wrong with that?

01:21:52We'd inherit it eventually anyway.

01:21:53This just makes it happen sooner.

01:21:54You ungrateful child.

01:21:57You'd turn on your own family.

01:21:58That's too much.

01:21:59Mrs. Ashfield is still alive.

01:22:00You think I'm being unfair?

01:22:01Then here's another condition.

01:22:03You step away from the family business,

01:22:04take responsibility

01:22:05for what you did

01:22:06and spend the rest of your life

01:22:07making amends for Nathan's death.

01:22:09You're vicious.

01:22:12I gave you a chance

01:22:13to make things right

01:22:14and you call me cruel?

01:22:15Then we're done here.

01:22:16I don't care.

01:22:16I refuse.

01:22:17Absolutely not.

01:22:22Then let the Ashfords go under.

01:22:24With your skills, Leo,

01:22:26we don't need their money.

01:22:28Mommy taught me

01:22:29money isn't everything.

01:22:31Nice answer.

01:22:32You get an extra nugget tonight.

01:22:35You're too kind.

01:22:36Mom, stop digging your heels in.

01:22:38If this continues,

01:22:39the Ashfords will end up

01:22:40like the Veil Group

01:22:41with nothing left.

01:22:44Why are you taking her side?

01:22:46That accident must have

01:22:47damaged your brain.

01:22:48I've spent decades

01:22:49building power and connections.

01:22:51I'm not losing to a woman

01:22:52who's brought nothing

01:22:53but bad luck to this family.

01:22:56Then watch what happens.

01:22:58I hope you don't regret your choice.

01:23:00Emma, don't do this in anger.

01:23:01Am I angry?

01:23:02I've been giving your family

01:23:03chances to make this right.

01:23:05She refused every one.

01:23:07Mom.

01:23:08There will be no compromise.

01:23:09If they want to fight,

01:23:10they'll get one.

01:23:14Butler, contact Walter.

01:23:15If he could read her

01:23:16fortune years ago,

01:23:17maybe he knows how to stop her now.

01:23:19Yes, ma'am.

01:23:19I'll arrange it.

01:23:20Walter, what is that woman

01:23:21doing to my son?

01:23:22He's completely under her spell.

01:23:24She latched on to

01:23:25the Ashford family's luck

01:23:26when she carried

01:23:27Ethan's children.

01:23:28The more the family prospers,

01:23:30the stronger she gets.

01:23:32That explains why

01:23:33everything around her

01:23:33keeps going her way.

01:23:35How do I stop it?

01:23:36That depends on how serious

01:23:37you are about

01:23:38protecting the family.

01:23:39If you can save the Ashfords,

01:23:40I'll pay you $1 million.

01:23:42I know people who can

01:23:43make problems disappear

01:23:45if the price is right.

01:23:46How much?

01:23:47$3 million.

01:23:49Fine.

01:23:49If it gets rid of Emma,

01:23:50it's worth it.

01:24:00Call Marcus.

01:24:01I need 10 performers

01:24:02who can put on a convincing scare.

01:24:04200 a day,

01:24:05this is a big job.

01:24:06You're brilliant, Walter.

01:24:07One story

01:24:08and you walk away

01:24:08with millions.

01:24:09Mrs. Ashford is sharp

01:24:10in business,

01:24:11but the moment

01:24:11something sounds mysterious,

01:24:12she stops thinking.

01:24:14Why wouldn't I

01:24:14take advantage of that?

01:24:16What's the plan?

01:24:17The usual.

01:24:18Make Emma's family

01:24:19think the whole area

01:24:20is dangerous.

01:24:20The farther they run,

01:24:21the better.

01:24:23Young lady,

01:24:24I can see trouble

01:24:25hanging over you.

01:24:26Something bad is coming.

01:24:28Move along

01:24:29or I'll make sure

01:24:29something bad happens to you.

01:24:31I'm only telling you

01:24:33what I see.

01:24:33I'm not asking for a dime.

01:24:35Why be rude?

01:24:36Go sell your axe

01:24:37somewhere else.

01:24:38My son has an IQ

01:24:39of 100 IQ of 150

01:24:40and he can spot a scam

01:24:42from a mile away.

01:24:43Fine.

01:24:43Some people refuse

01:24:45good advice.

01:24:45Don't say I didn't warn you.

01:24:48When that woman walks by,

01:24:49rush her.

01:24:50Accus her of sleeping

01:24:51with your husband

01:24:52and make a scene.

01:24:53That's more than

01:24:54we signed up for.

01:24:55We want extra.

01:24:56Do it well

01:24:56and I'll double your pay.

01:25:00That's her!

01:25:01She slept with my husband!

01:25:03Get her!

01:25:03Shameless homewrecker!

01:25:04Tear her clothes off

01:25:05and let everyone

01:25:06see what she is!

01:25:07Everybody look!

01:25:07We caught a homewrecker!

01:25:20Please stop!

01:25:21We were paid to do this!

01:25:23We were only the first group.

01:25:25More people are coming

01:25:26to dump filth all over you.

01:25:29And some guys are supposed

01:25:31to drag you out

01:25:32to a cemetery

01:25:32and scare you.

01:25:34Mommy, this is easy.

01:25:35That old man

01:25:36set the whole thing up.

01:25:38Lily, go get him.

01:25:40He can't be far.

01:25:41Yes, Mommy!

01:25:44That girl is terrifying.

01:25:45We made a mistake.

01:25:46We should have checked

01:25:47who we were dealing with.

01:25:48What do we do now?

01:25:49Run!

01:25:50Now!

01:25:52You tried to hurt my mommy.

01:25:54Now you're going

01:25:55to regret it.

01:25:57Please, we didn't mean

01:25:58any harm.

01:25:59We were paid to do it.

01:26:00Mrs. Ashford paid you,

01:26:01didn't she?

01:26:01Yes.

01:26:02Yes, she did.

01:26:03You saw right through me.

01:26:04Mommy, it's time

01:26:06to make our move.

01:26:07Go ahead, Leo.

01:26:11Start the plan.

01:26:12Hit Ashford Holdings

01:26:13from every angle.

01:26:14I want them bankrupt

01:26:15by tomorrow.

01:26:16Ethan, get back

01:26:17to the Ashton estate

01:26:18within 30 minutes.

01:26:19I've got something

01:26:19you need to see.

01:26:24Walter, what happened

01:26:25to you?

01:26:26Emma, how dare you

01:26:28treat him like this?

01:26:29Enough.

01:26:30Tell her yourself.

01:26:31It was my fault.

01:26:32I made up the story

01:26:33about Emma bringing

01:26:34bad luck years ago

01:26:35because I wanted

01:26:35to take your money.

01:26:36I was never

01:26:37a real psychic.

01:26:38You said you were

01:26:38a real psychic

01:26:39and you're nothing

01:26:40but a con man?

01:26:41Mom, you heard him.

01:26:42You were wrong

01:26:43about Emma.

01:26:43That man manipulated you.

01:26:46You bastard!

01:26:47You ruined me!

01:26:50Emma, I was wrong.

01:26:51I let my anger

01:26:52cloud my judgment.

01:26:53For the children's sake,

01:26:55can't we put the past

01:26:56behind us?

01:26:56Put the past behind us?

01:26:58No.

01:26:59You're too late.

01:27:00What does that mean?

01:27:02I gave you two choices.

01:27:04You chose to attack me again.

01:27:06If Leo and Lily

01:27:07hadn't been able

01:27:08to protect me,

01:27:08you would have

01:27:09destroyed my life.

01:27:10So no,

01:27:11I don't accept

01:27:12your apology.

01:27:13Don't push your luck.

01:27:15This failed,

01:27:16but I still have plenty

01:27:17of ways to make

01:27:18your life miserable.

01:27:19Leo, show her

01:27:20what you can do.

01:27:23Why is this taking

01:27:24so long?

01:27:25I want Ashford

01:27:26holding stock

01:27:27in free vol

01:27:28within three minutes.

01:27:30Who do you think

01:27:31you are?

01:27:31Some kind of

01:27:32finance mogul?

01:27:34What?

01:27:35How is that possible?

01:27:36Mrs. Ashford,

01:27:37the stock is crashing.

01:27:38It's in free fall.

01:27:39What?

01:27:40It's real.

01:27:41All of it is real.

01:27:44That's only the beginning.

01:27:46The family businesses

01:27:47will be bought out.

01:27:48Shareholders

01:27:49will turn on you.

01:27:50Once the company

01:27:51can't pay its debts,

01:27:52the banks

01:27:53will seize what's left.

01:27:54Even this house

01:27:55will be gone.

01:27:56You cruel little brat.

01:27:58You have Ashford

01:27:59blood in you.

01:28:01My name is Bennett.

01:28:03I'm not an Ashford.

01:28:05A family takes care of you.

01:28:07If they don't,

01:28:08they don't get to

01:28:09call themselves family.

01:28:11Look at you.

01:28:11That was actually deep.

01:28:13Of course it was.

01:28:16Emma, please.

01:28:18Don't destroy the Ashherms.

01:28:20When I was pregnant

01:28:21and sleeping on the street,

01:28:22did you ever spare me?

01:28:23When I came back

01:28:24to Briarwood

01:28:25and someone tried to kill me,

01:28:26did you spared me then?

01:28:28Even after I gave you a choice,

01:28:30you still tried

01:28:30to have me killed.

01:28:32So why should I spare you now?

01:28:35I was wrong.

01:28:36I wasn't thinking straight.

01:28:38I thought I was

01:28:39protecting the family.

01:28:40So protecting the family

01:28:42meant sacrificing me?

01:28:43I'm a person,

01:28:44not some pet or servant

01:28:46you can command.

01:28:47Why should I forgive you?

01:28:48Stop them.

01:28:49The Ashfords

01:28:50can't go under.

01:28:51I'll transfer everything

01:28:52to the children.

01:28:53It's too late.

01:28:55I'll ask them

01:28:55whether they even

01:28:56want Ashfield money.

01:29:00I don't want it.

01:29:01Home is wherever

01:29:02Mommy is.

01:29:02That's what family is.

01:29:03It's not just about blood

01:29:05when it's convenient for you.

01:29:06Come on.

01:29:07You're both Bennets.

01:29:08You always will be.

01:29:09It's over.

01:29:11I did this to myself.

01:29:16I'm not the Ashford heir anymore.

01:29:18Do I have a chance

01:29:19to win you back now?

01:29:20We'll see.

01:29:21Show me.

01:29:22Ethan, have some backbone.

01:29:23You can't just give up now.

01:29:25If you want to win Mommy over,

01:29:26you'll have to win me over first.

01:29:28Ten chicken nuggets a day

01:29:30and I might consider

01:29:31switching sides.

01:29:33I'll work for it.

01:29:35I'll earn my way

01:29:36into this family.

01:29:37Are you two getting in

01:29:38or are you planning

01:29:39to eat dinner without me?

01:29:40Coming, Mommy!

01:29:43You're all right.

01:29:43I can't wait.

01:29:45You're all right.
