00:00:00So, finally admit you made a mistake?
00:00:03She didn't make a mistake. My mom is the best.
00:00:08My wife never makes a mistake. The only mistake is you thinking you still matter.
00:00:18Just sign here, Ms. Hayes. Once that's done, the marriage is officially over.
00:00:31The kitchen is still a mess. Get it done first.
00:00:34I've had Oliver all day. I haven't even sat down.
00:00:36Don't make a scene, Emma.
00:00:37Here. It's your up.
00:00:39Four years dating, three years married, seven seconds to walk away.
00:00:45Under the prenuple agreement, you will receive none of the Whitmore's assets.
00:00:50I know.
00:00:53Last chance. Once you walk out, I'm not coming after you.
00:00:58You haven't been home in three months, Julian. You stopped coming after me a long time ago.
00:01:06No home. No job. No one waiting for me.
00:01:14A stepmother? Room and meals provided?
00:01:18I didn't need love. I only needed somewhere to survive.
00:01:25Mr. Moretti is looking for a mother for his child, not a wife for himself.
00:01:29The boss is an attractive man. Don't attain any appropriate ideas.
00:01:34Don't worry. I got divorced eight hours ago. I don't have the energy for another man, let alone interest.
00:01:42That's all you brought?
00:01:44It's everything I have.
00:01:50Who let you in?
00:01:52She's the one for the job, boss.
00:02:01Damien Moretti.
00:02:03Took over his family at 16.
00:02:05They say he's the most dangerous man in New York.
00:02:08You have been studying his picture for a month.
00:02:10If Whitmore and Capital gets into the Moretti circle, we get access to real money, not the kind we play
00:02:16with.
00:02:17Then I remembered.
00:02:19Damien Moretti.
00:02:20The most feared man in New York.
00:02:22Just one bite.
00:02:23That's all I'm asking.
00:02:26The applicant is here.
00:02:28Name?
00:02:30Emma Hayes.
00:02:31Get him to eat.
00:02:32So this was my interview.
00:02:34Fail this, and I'm sleeping on the street tonight.
00:02:43I don't want her. Make her leave. She's evil. They're all evil.
00:02:49I'm not feeding you. I'm feeding Batman.
00:02:52A hero who skips dinner gets weak legs. How is he supposed to fight the bad guys?
00:02:58Oh, Batman wants spinach. Good choice. It makes him stronger.
00:03:04Wait. Is that another little Batman over there?
00:03:07You can share with him. Just a little bit.
00:03:10You want to be strong like Batman, don't you?
00:03:14Why aren't you giving me more? Afraid I'll be stronger than Batman? Bad woman!
00:03:24Will Batman eat with me tomorrow?
00:03:28If you want him to, every day.
00:03:34Your room is ready.
00:03:36I passed.
00:03:38Noah finished his dinner.
00:03:40Batman ate it.
00:03:44Then Batman stays.
00:03:45Three floors.
00:03:47You and the boy are on the second.
00:03:49Mr. Morali's quarters are on the third.
00:03:52Never go to the third floor.
00:03:53The last woman who'd sneak up there to seduce the boss was thrown out of his bedroom window.
00:03:58That won't happen.
00:03:59I'll keep my word.
00:04:00I'll keep my word.
00:04:06You are good with children.
00:04:08You have any of your own?
00:04:10No.
00:04:11I looked after my ex-husband's nephew for two years.
00:04:14That salary is hardly worth leaving the house for.
00:04:16Oliver needs someone.
00:04:18You married into this family.
00:04:20Family comes first.
00:04:21I don't want to give up my job.
00:04:22Just quit.
00:04:23I'll take care of you.
00:04:24You don't need to work.
00:04:29They called it taking care of me.
00:04:31Once I quit, they called me lazy, useless, an unpaid maid with a ring on my finger.
00:04:37I was never a wife.
00:04:38I was just...
00:04:39help.
00:04:40Your file says you are divorced.
00:04:43I am.
00:04:44Only a coward turns his wife into a servant, then blames her for not being elegant enough.
00:04:49I need a mother for Noah.
00:04:50I'm not looking for a woman for myself.
00:04:53A rival family got to him.
00:04:55He fears the outside world and has no friends.
00:04:58I need someone patient who stays.
00:05:00There will be a prenup.
00:05:02Separate finances.
00:05:03Separate bedrooms.
00:05:04You mean marriage?
00:05:09Marriage is the strongest contract.
00:05:12Noah needs a mother who won't just walk away.
00:05:16If it's just about taking care of him, we do not have to make it official.
00:05:21For most people, maybe.
00:05:23For the Morettis, it has to be official.
00:05:27One hundred thousand a month.
00:05:29For whatever you need.
00:05:32If we divorce, do I keep the money?
00:05:35It is yours.
00:05:37Then I'm fine with that.
00:05:39On the bedroom situation, I expect nothing from you.
00:05:43You remain on the second floor.
00:05:46Right.
00:05:47Sleeping arrangements.
00:05:48I do not need anything either.
00:05:50The Whitmore assets stay separate.
00:05:52If you divorce, you leave with nothing.
00:05:54I am not marrying him for money.
00:06:00We will never get divorced.
00:06:04Marriage in high society has always been a contract.
00:06:07Some used it to protect money.
00:06:09Others used it to trap people.
00:06:12Mr. Damien Morelli, do you take Ms. Emma Hayes as your lawful wife?
00:06:17I do.
00:06:20Ms. Emma Hayes?
00:06:23I do.
00:06:25Three days ago, I signed divorce papers.
00:06:28Three days later, I signed a marriage license.
00:06:31Same city, same kind of contract.
00:06:38You don't have to do this.
00:06:39For Noah.
00:06:41Your mother said I would get the Whitman ring after the wedding.
00:06:45That ring is for the woman who represents the family.
00:06:47It's just a ring, Emma.
00:06:49Don't make it into something it's not.
00:07:00I will take good care of him.
00:07:05Hey, sweetheart, what's wrong?
00:07:06Emma, can you read me a bedtime story?
00:07:09You want me to read to you?
00:07:10I can ask Dad to pay you more.
00:07:12If you do not want to, forget it.
00:07:14No extra money.
00:07:16Stories are free.
00:07:22Young Master Noah slept in Ms. Emma's room last night.
00:07:28That's impressive.
00:07:30I'm adding another $50,000 a month.
00:07:33That's too much.
00:07:34It's just a bedtime story.
00:07:35It's nothing.
00:07:36You don't understand.
00:07:38The women before you, they all wanted to get to me.
00:07:41None of them cared about Noah.
00:07:45$50,000.
00:07:47It's not up for negotiation.
00:08:00Dinner's been reheated three times.
00:08:02You want some?
00:08:03I ate out.
00:08:06Why isn't breakfast ready?
00:08:07I was up till two waiting for Julia.
00:08:10We could hire staff, but you do not work.
00:08:13It would be unfair if you did nothing at home.
00:08:16I have lunch meeting.
00:08:17You've got him.
00:08:21I gave everything to that family.
00:08:24No pay.
00:08:25No thanks.
00:08:27Not even a good job.
00:08:30I am not following you.
00:08:32I am protecting you.
00:08:38Then can my little bodyguard hand me the jam?
00:08:41Fine.
00:08:42But that is extra bodyguard work.
00:08:45Okay.
00:08:49Sweetheart, wait here.
00:08:50I'll be back in an hour.
00:08:52I'm just going to the doctor.
00:08:54He is afraid you will not come back.
00:08:57His mother left the same way.
00:08:59I will come back.
00:09:00I promise.
00:09:07Young Master Noah, are you going with Mrs. Emma?
00:09:13Thank God.
00:09:15He is finally willing to leave this house.
00:09:21Your depression is getting better.
00:09:23Keep doing what you're doing.
00:09:25Rest.
00:09:25Take it easy.
00:09:26Don't push yourself.
00:09:28I have been sleeping better.
00:09:30Eating on time, too.
00:09:31That's good.
00:09:32Means your environment is changing.
00:09:34Keep taking your medication.
00:09:42Emma, are you sick again?
00:09:44A little.
00:09:45I used to skip meals, so my stomach hurts sometimes.
00:09:49Promise you will not do that anymore.
00:09:56If it hurts, you can have my candy.
00:10:00Dad says candy makes the pain go away.
00:10:03The doctor says I have depression.
00:10:06I can't help it.
00:10:08Stop pretending for attention.
00:10:10A small-town girl.
00:10:11She was never cut out for our life.
00:10:13She's ugly when she cries.
00:10:18I will eat properly, grow up fast, and protect you.
00:10:26Then you better hurry up, my little hero.
00:10:31Mr. Moretti, why are you here?
00:10:36The housekeeper said Noah went out with you.
00:10:39I had to see it for myself.
00:10:40Dad, when I'm with Emma, you don't have to worry.
00:10:46I know.
00:10:48What did the doctor say?
00:10:50I am getting better.
00:10:52Good.
00:10:53Keep it up.
00:10:59Use this.
00:11:00No limit.
00:11:02I cannot take it.
00:11:03You already pay me too much.
00:11:06There's got to be something you want.
00:11:09Could you help me find a used car?
00:11:11Under $5,000.
00:11:12So I can take Noah out without always needing a driver.
00:11:15Take your pick from the garage.
00:11:19The cheapest one in there is $200,000.
00:11:21I'd be too scared to even drive it.
00:11:26This car...
00:11:27$4,800.
00:11:28Right on budget.
00:11:29You actually bought a used car?
00:11:32I had the engine, brakes, tires, and airbags checked.
00:11:36It looks old, but it's safe.
00:11:42I like it.
00:11:43It looks like a regular car.
00:11:48The diagnosis matches the hospital's.
00:11:50The new medication is more stable, but she needs family support.
00:11:54Don't too much pressure on your wife.
00:11:55I'll keep that in mind.
00:11:57Okay.
00:12:00I could never afford this before.
00:12:03Now you can.
00:12:05Because of your money.
00:12:07Because you are Mrs. Moretti.
00:12:15Just look at me.
00:12:17If you are scared, squeeze my hand three times.
00:12:23Are you scared, too?
00:12:24A little.
00:12:26So we do this together.
00:12:37I'm gonna show Dad so he knows I didn't cry.
00:12:41You can be scared.
00:12:42You can cry.
00:12:44Being brave doesn't mean never being afraid.
00:12:51Why do people carry their own things here?
00:12:56Because not everyone has bodyguards.
00:12:59I do not want to carry this.
00:13:02They are moving.
00:13:03My hands are full.
00:13:05Just a few steps.
00:13:07Fine.
00:13:08Just this once.
00:13:10No more lobsters after today.
00:13:19Emma, what is wrong?
00:13:21That is Julian.
00:13:23My ex-husband.
00:13:25Emma?
00:13:32We had been divorced for five weeks, yet the moment I saw him, my stomach still twisted.
00:13:37Emma, what is wrong?
00:13:39Nothing, sweetheart.
00:13:41Stay, stay close to me.
00:13:48Here, you drop these.
00:13:51Julian and I met in college.
00:13:53He came from an elite Wall Street family.
00:13:55He was smart, polished, everyone's idea of the perfect catch.
00:13:59He does not belong here.
00:14:01I'm marrying Emma, whether you like it or not.
00:14:05I'll protect you.
00:14:07Forever.
00:14:09He married me against his family's wishes.
00:14:11Back then, I really thought forever meant forever.
00:14:15Congratulations on officially taking over the company.
00:14:18Now that I'm running Whitmore Capital, things at home need to change.
00:14:22What arrangement?
00:14:24Quit your job.
00:14:25Stay home.
00:14:27Take care of my parents and Victoria's son.
00:14:30But I like my job.
00:14:32Your salary is barely anything.
00:14:34Staying home is the most useful thing you can do for this family.
00:14:37He started deciding if my work mattered, what I should do with my time, what I was worth.
00:14:43Back then, I thought loving someone meant saying yes to everything.
00:14:46Breakfast needs to be earlier.
00:14:48Julian cannot be late because of you.
00:14:50All right, I will remember.
00:14:53Oliver's clothes must be washed separately.
00:14:55His skin is sensitive.
00:14:57Okay.
00:15:08Julian, we have not had dinner together in days.
00:15:11Work is busy.
00:15:12Don't turn everything into a problem.
00:15:14Cooking, laundry, cleaning, caring for the child.
00:15:17It all landed on me.
00:15:19Yet I kept telling myself this was what marriage looked like.
00:15:24My own family never truly loved me, so I did not know what healthy love was supposed to feel like.
00:15:36Julian?
00:15:38What are you doing here?
00:15:41That was the moment everything fell apart.
00:15:49I saw her sitting on your lap.
00:15:51Are you still going to tell me it meant nothing?
00:15:53You stormed into a private club and made a scene.
00:15:56You have already embarrassed me enough.
00:15:58I cried.
00:16:00I begged you, Julian, please.
00:16:02What successful man doesn't have a mistress?
00:16:05You are overreacting.
00:16:07Stop treating one small matter like the end of the world.
00:16:09This is not a small matter.
00:16:10He is my husband.
00:16:12I'm sorry.
00:16:14I saw her sitting on your lap.
00:16:16You have been spoiled.
00:16:19Everyone's always walking on eggshells around you.
00:16:23Where are you going?
00:16:24We will talk when you learn to calm down.
00:16:27My depression kept getting worse.
00:16:30They said I was faking it, just trying to get attention.
00:16:34Stop coutling her.
00:16:35She just has too much time on her hands.
00:16:37She'll come out when she's done crying.
00:16:39There's work to do.
00:16:42In the end, I was the one who filed for divorce.
00:16:46You are just using divorce to threaten me.
00:16:49I am not threatening you.
00:16:52My family is right.
00:16:54I can't let you win this way.
00:16:55I don't want your money or anything from the Whitmans.
00:16:57Give me the papers.
00:17:00Four years together, three years married, over in seven seconds.
00:17:07Emma, you are an Ivy League graduate, and now you are working as a nanny?
00:17:12What were you thinking?
00:17:14None of your business.
00:17:15From the moment you married into the Whitmore family, you carried the Whitmore name.
00:17:20You might want to think about other people for once before you act.
00:17:24We are divorced.
00:17:26I have nothing to do with your family.
00:17:28Divorced or not, you're still my ex-wife.
00:17:30You'll still be connected to me, whether you like it or not.
00:17:34Stop embarrassing me.
00:17:35Use your head for once, instead of letting your feelings run everything.
00:17:40A few weeks out here, you'll miss being my wife.
00:17:44Admit you made a mistake, and I'll consider taking you back.
00:17:47Those other women didn't mean anything.
00:17:50I haven't remarried.
00:17:51The position is still open.
00:17:53All you have to do is swallow your pride and apologize to my mother and sister.
00:17:57Don't save it for me.
00:17:58Give it to someone else.
00:18:00Julian, I'm not interested.
00:18:02Not anymore.
00:18:20Hello?
00:18:21Emma, you pathetic divorcee.
00:18:23My mom wants to talk to you.
00:18:25I had blocked everyone else from the Whitmore family, but never Oliver.
00:18:29Kids cannot choose their parents.
00:18:31Hi, Oliver.
00:18:34Julian said you are working as a nanny now.
00:18:37Do you ever think about anyone but yourself?
00:18:40You are humiliating the entire Whitmore name.
00:18:43What are people supposed to think?
00:18:46Victoria, we're not family anymore.
00:18:48I always said you could never change where you came from.
00:18:51Silk dress, same old trash underneath.
00:19:03I cared for him for two years.
00:19:06You are ugly.
00:19:08The day I left, he stood next to his mother and hurt me the way they had taught him to.
00:19:19I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:19:21Did I scare you?
00:19:22I'm not scared.
00:19:23You can cry for as long as you need.
00:19:25I will wait.
00:19:26It's okay for grown-ups to cry.
00:19:28I won't laugh.
00:19:29Thank you, my little hero.
00:19:32I am done now.
00:19:33Let us go home.
00:19:35Okay.
00:19:36Do we still have to take the lobsters?
00:19:49Emma, if you do not eat, your legs will get weak.
00:19:53I am just tired.
00:19:55You keep eating, sweetheart.
00:19:59She received a call from the Whitmeal family on the way back.
00:20:07Emma, may I come in?
00:20:09Come in.
00:20:15The clothes in your closet, you have not worn a single one.
00:20:18They are too nice.
00:20:19I am not used to things like that.
00:20:21Not your style?
00:20:23It's not the clothes.
00:20:25An expensive gown cannot change where a person comes from.
00:20:29I only wanted to attend the event with Julian.
00:20:32You don't know how to carry yourself in public.
00:20:34You would only embarrass us.
00:20:37Mother is just trying to protect the family name.
00:20:39It's easier if you stay home.
00:20:40One thing I learned from the Whitmells,
00:20:42never force your way into a world above your own.
00:20:45Because getting thrown out hurts a lot more.
00:20:49If they're not your style, I can have a designer make you new ones.
00:20:52Anything you want.
00:20:52There is no need, Mr. Moretti.
00:20:54I'm just at home with Noah.
00:20:55I don't need clothes like that.
00:20:57I heard you ran into your ex-husband today.
00:21:02Whitmore?
00:21:04The man running Whitmore Capital into the ground?
00:21:12Yes, Julian's with Whitmore Capital.
00:21:15Noah said that man upset you.
00:21:18It's in the past.
00:21:22Noah has changed so much since you came here.
00:21:24He eats, he sleeps, and he finally agreed to leave this house.
00:21:30You already pay me more than enough.
00:21:32Taking care of Noah, that's my job.
00:21:34Emma, you can ask me for anything.
00:21:37Say the word, and I'll make it happen.
00:21:42Mr. Moretti, I do not need anything.
00:21:46Then let me say it again.
00:21:48I am the head of the Moretti family.
00:21:50Say the word, and that man won't bother you again.
00:21:52Ever.
00:21:55Do I frighten you?
00:22:04Dad, Emma says spinach makes people strong.
00:22:09Did you eat it?
00:22:10I had two bites.
00:22:12Batman only had one.
00:22:16A man who runs half of New York's hider world doesn't just start coming home early for no reason.
00:22:21Is something going on with the family?
00:22:23Not that I care.
00:22:25It's the paycheck I care about.
00:22:26A hundred and fifty thousand a month.
00:22:32No one wants it.
00:22:34Mr. Moretti, you do not have to come home this early every day.
00:22:38I will take good care of Noah.
00:22:40If you've got work, go.
00:22:42The psychiatrist said you need your family around you.
00:22:45Noah is always with me.
00:22:48Noah and I are your family now.
00:22:50We have a responsibility to be here for you.
00:22:54Truth was, having Noah beside me was already enough.
00:22:58Come on, sweetheart.
00:22:59Story time.
00:23:00Dad still has work to do.
00:23:02Emma.
00:23:05There is a formal event tomorrow night.
00:23:07Everyone is required to bring his wife and child.
00:23:10Will you come with me?
00:23:12Me?
00:23:13Yes.
00:23:13I do not have time to find anyone else.
00:23:16I will pay you separately for coming.
00:23:17A man that handsome couldn't find a date in twenty-four hours?
00:23:21I decided not to overthink it.
00:23:23The money was right here.
00:23:25Of course.
00:23:27But I do not know the social rules of your world.
00:23:30I do not want to embarrass you.
00:23:32May I come with you tonight?
00:23:34No.
00:23:34She does not know how to conduct herself in that kind of setting.
00:23:37I can just stay quiet and stand next to Julian.
00:23:39Your presence alone could embarrass the Whitmore family.
00:23:43Stay home.
00:23:44Mother has a point.
00:23:45The Whitmans used to be wealthy, too, but Julian never took me anywhere.
00:23:50His mother always said I did not know how to behave in public.
00:23:54I'd only embarrass them.
00:23:58All you need to do is stand next to me.
00:24:01Say the word, and I'll shut every gossip in that room up.
00:24:04Miss Emma, you do not need to know those rules.
00:24:07The boss is the rule.
00:24:17Do we really need all these people?
00:24:19Mr. Moretti said every detail must be perfect.
00:24:33Dad, look how beautiful Emma is!
00:24:35Call her mom.
00:24:36Hmm.
00:24:37It is all right.
00:24:37I like being called Emma.
00:24:39Somehow, saying that made me feel much younger.
00:24:46I don't know.
00:24:57Some faces I had seen only in newspapers.
00:24:59Others I couldn't even name, or what they controlled.
00:25:09Mr. Moretti, so glad you could make it tonight.
00:25:11This young gentleman must be Noah.
00:25:14Damien, who is this lovely lady?
00:25:15I'm a friend of Mr. Moretti's.
00:25:17Emma, my wife.
00:25:20Mrs. Moretti, what an honor.
00:25:22Are you ashamed to be my wife?
00:25:24Is that why you cannot even say it?
00:25:26It is not like that.
00:25:28I just didn't want to make you look bad.
00:25:30Only a weak man would ever be ashamed of his wife.
00:25:34I'm going to get a drink.
00:25:41She's not even his girlfriend.
00:25:42He just needed a date.
00:25:47She's not even his girlfriend.
00:25:48He just needed a date.
00:25:49Did Damien not say everyone had to bring a partner?
00:25:56Is that really you?
00:25:58I almost didn't recognize you.
00:25:59I've never seen you like this.
00:26:02About the call from my sister, that wasn't my idea.
00:26:05I never told her to do that.
00:26:06She still called.
00:26:08Oliver was on the phone, too.
00:26:09I just said they should teach you a lesson.
00:26:11A wife who acts out needs to be reminded of her place.
00:26:14Julian, we are divorced.
00:26:16You don't get to teach me anything anymore.
00:26:18I never actually planned on letting you go.
00:26:21Apologize to my mother and my sister, and we can fix this.
00:26:24I'm willing to forget everything that happened.
00:26:27Whitmoyer Capital is in trouble right now.
00:26:29I've got enough on my plate.
00:26:31Stop making things harder for me.
00:26:36Stop crying.
00:26:37You know I still love you.
00:26:38He'd tear me down, then pull me back with a little kindness.
00:26:41He kept me trapped in that same cycle for three years.
00:26:46But I'm not the same Emma who married him.
00:26:51Julian, divorce means it's over.
00:26:54I'd rather sleep under a bridge than go back to that family.
00:26:58Give that precious wife position to someone else.
00:27:01I don't want it.
00:27:04Still so stubborn.
00:27:06Apparently you haven't suffered enough.
00:27:08When all of this is over, you will come crawling back to me.
00:27:15We'll talk later, Emma.
00:27:16There's someone important I need to see.
00:27:17Don't get in my way.
00:27:27Mr. Moretti, I'm Julian Whitmer, Whitman Capital.
00:27:30I'd like to discuss the partnership you terminated.
00:27:34For five years, Whitmore Capital handled financial reporting and compliance for every fund under the Morrelli Group.
00:27:40Then you dropped us overnight.
00:27:44If we fell short, tell me where.
00:27:47Whatever you need, we'll fix it.
00:27:51Emma, what do you think?
00:27:53Should I give him a second chance?
00:27:57Emma, what does she have to do with this?
00:27:59Mr. Moretti, you should know she's my ex-wife.
00:28:03I don't know how she got in tonight.
00:28:05Maybe she wants me back.
00:28:07She's just a housewife.
00:28:08She knows nothing about business.
00:28:10You can ignore her.
00:28:13Emma, I'll go with whatever you decide.
00:28:19Mr. Moretti told me not to interfere in his business.
00:28:22I don't want to intrude.
00:28:24Men's business is none of your concern.
00:28:26Still that small-town mentality, isn't it?
00:28:36Then I'll take it that my wife does not approve of working with Whitmore Capital.
00:28:43Julian, the answer is no.
00:28:46No.
00:28:54Julian, you just insulted the boss's wife.
00:28:59She's the only woman who's been seeing it in public in 20 years.
00:29:05Damien's wife?
00:29:07Impossible.
00:29:08She's just a nanny in the Moretti household.
00:29:10Hmm.
00:29:16An expensive gown doesn't change what she is.
00:29:20Fools never listen.
00:29:22Let them destroy themselves.
00:29:43Sold.
00:29:44The collection totals $180 million.
00:29:53Donate it all to the hospital in my wife's name, Emma Moretti.
00:30:15Mrs. Moretti, I'm hosting a private tea next week.
00:30:24Would you join us?
00:30:25Mrs. Moretti, my husband's bidding on a Moretti group project.
00:30:28Could you pass this to the boss?
00:30:41Excuse us.
00:30:42My wife can't drink, so I'll handle hers.
00:30:46All those things get back.
00:30:48No.
00:31:02Thank you for tonight and for Julian.
00:31:08Emma, we are married.
00:31:10Stop thanking me.
00:31:13Only on paper.
00:31:15You didn't have to do any of that.
00:31:26Emma, what if I don't want it only on paper anymore?
00:31:33Mr. Moretti, you're drunk.
00:31:38You're right.
00:31:39I'm sorry.
00:31:39I did have too much.
00:31:48Emma, you're late.
00:31:49We didn't get our story yet.
00:31:52I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:31:53We'll go up right now.
00:32:07I can't put my whole life in the hands of another marriage again.
00:32:20Julian was right about one thing.
00:32:23I shouldn't waste my degree by staying home and pretending everything's fine.
00:32:28Quit your job.
00:32:29Stay home.
00:32:30Take care of my parents and Victoria's son.
00:32:32Under the prenuple agreement, you will receive none of the Whitmore's assets.
00:32:36I'd already lived through a marriage like that.
00:32:40Staying home, giving in every time, and ending up with nothing when he didn't need me anymore.
00:32:45As long as Noah needs me, I have a place here.
00:32:48But when he no longer needs me, what am I then?
00:32:52Emma, bring me a coffee.
00:33:02The estate's first rule, never go to the third floor.
00:33:06The last woman who snuck up there got thrown out the bedroom window.
00:33:11Mr. Moretti, the coffee's ready.
00:33:14Come down and get it.
00:33:15Bring it up.
00:33:20If he tried anything, at least I'll have proof.
00:33:45Come in.
00:34:04Are you really that scared of me?
00:34:07Emma, am I a monster to you?
00:34:15Emma.
00:34:18From now on, you can come to my room whenever you want.
00:34:30From now on, you can come to my room whenever you want.
00:34:54Good morning.
00:35:03You're sick.
00:35:17Sit down.
00:35:19I'll get you some cold medicine.
00:35:30A mafia boss who runs New York is standing in the kitchen, mixing cold medicine for me.
00:35:35A mafia boss was supposed to put poison in a drink, not medicine for a sick woman.
00:35:52Emma, I'm outside the Marechius gates.
00:35:54Come out now or I'll knock on the front door myself.
00:35:57Your choice.
00:36:10Your choice.
00:36:23Emma, how long are you going to keep this up?
00:36:26A woman who carried the Whitefield name is working as someone else's nanny?
00:36:31You might not be ashamed, but I am.
00:36:35Julian, I haven't done anything to you.
00:36:38Don't play dumb.
00:36:39You dressed like that last night just to make me jealous.
00:36:47Fine, I admit it.
00:36:48After you left, I did miss you.
00:36:50A little.
00:36:52Apologize to my mother and sister.
00:36:54We'll get married again.
00:36:55Then you won't be someone else's servant anymore.
00:36:57I didn't do anything wrong.
00:36:59Why should I apologize?
00:37:00You still haven't realized you made a mistake?
00:37:04Looks like you haven't suffered enough yet.
00:37:14Kitchen is still a mess.
00:37:15Get it done first.
00:37:16Don't make a scene, Emma.
00:37:18Here, since you're up.
00:37:30You didn't make a mistake.
00:37:32My mom's the best in the whole world.
00:37:50Kid, what did you just call her?
00:37:52Isn't she your nanny?
00:37:57You're the nanny.
00:37:58Your whole family are nanties.
00:38:02Emma is my mom.
00:38:05My very best mom.
00:38:10You want to be my mom, right?
00:38:14I promise I'll be a good boy.
00:38:23Of course, sweetheart.
00:38:29So that's it.
00:38:30Emma, now I finally get it.
00:38:33You're using this kid to trap Damien.
00:38:37Listen.
00:38:40Damien is not a man you can fool.
00:38:44He's known for being ruthless.
00:38:46If he finds out you're using his son,
00:38:49he'll destroy you.
00:39:06Mr. Whitmore,
00:39:07this is the last time you insult my wife.
00:39:13It's also the reason I canceled our partnership.
00:39:18Originally, I was going to tell the other firms
00:39:19this was a private matter,
00:39:21that they could keep doing business with Whitmore Capital.
00:39:25After what happened today,
00:39:27I don't see any reason to protect your company
00:39:29from the consequences.
00:39:37Wife?
00:39:38Who's your wife?
00:39:40Are you really that confused,
00:39:42or do you just believe what you want to believe?
00:39:46Emma is my wife
00:39:47and the mother of my son.
00:39:51Mother of God!
00:39:58My wife never makes a mistake.
00:40:01Even if she is,
00:40:02she's still right.
00:40:05The only mistake
00:40:07is you
00:40:10thinking you still have any say
00:40:12in her life.
00:40:15Get him out of here.
00:40:24If this man ever bothers my wife again,
00:40:27drag him away.
00:40:50Where have you been all day?
00:40:52I didn't see you once.
00:40:53Don't ask.
00:40:59Dad sent me to school.
00:41:04You started school?
00:41:05Dad said he didn't want you
00:41:07working so hard every day.
00:41:13He also said
00:41:14he wanted some time alone with you.
00:41:21Why does he need time alone with me?
00:41:27Dad said he has to make you fall in love with him.
00:41:30Otherwise,
00:41:31you might leave us.
00:41:36Go downstairs.
00:41:38Time to eat.
00:41:38Don't bother Mom.
00:41:41Mom,
00:41:41I'll come back and keep you party later.
00:41:48Feeling any better?
00:41:51Much better.
00:41:52And
00:41:54thank you for what you did out there.
00:41:59But please don't sacrifice your business for me.
00:42:03I'm really not worth that.
00:42:07An expensive gown cannot change where a person comes from.
00:42:12Mother is just trying to protect the family name.
00:42:14It's easier if you stay home.
00:42:17Not worth what?
00:42:20Not worth what you did for me out there.
00:42:23Emma.
00:42:24I've told you before.
00:42:26You're my wife.
00:42:28Protecting you is my responsibility.
00:42:32Stop calling this a fake marriage.
00:42:37Emma.
00:42:39I want a real marriage.
00:42:48Emma.
00:42:50I want a real marriage.
00:42:55What do you mean?
00:42:56A real marriage?
00:42:57Not for Noah.
00:42:58Not for the contract.
00:43:00Not so you can keep living here.
00:43:03I want you to be my wife.
00:43:09But we've only known each other for such a short time.
00:43:12Time doesn't mean real.
00:43:14Your last marriage proved that.
00:43:16I'm sorry.
00:43:18It's okay.
00:43:19You're right.
00:43:21Damien.
00:43:23I don't dislike you.
00:43:27The opposite, actually.
00:43:29That's why I'm scared.
00:43:30Scared of what?
00:43:32Scared of trusting a man again.
00:43:34Scared that one day I'll actually let myself call this place home,
00:43:38call you and Noah my family,
00:43:39and then watch it all disappear.
00:43:43It took me so long just to get out of my last marriage.
00:43:47I don't know if I can love anyone again.
00:43:49Then don't know.
00:43:52Don't know.
00:43:53Don't know today.
00:43:55Think about it tomorrow.
00:43:56Don't know tomorrow.
00:43:57Think about it next month.
00:43:59I'm not going to make you answer.
00:44:02You're willing to wait?
00:44:05I can wait.
00:44:10Sir, are you sure you want to revise this?
00:44:13Not revise it.
00:44:14Remove the marriage term.
00:44:15Remove the clause requiring her to care for Noah.
00:44:18Remove the repayment clause if she leaves early.
00:44:21She should be able to leave anytime she wants.
00:44:23Then this contract offers you almost no protection.
00:44:27I don't need protection.
00:44:28Drop a new version.
00:44:30Her personal accounts, career, income, assets,
00:44:32all completely separate from the Moretzie family.
00:44:35Got it.
00:44:36And don't tell her I gave her a way out.
00:44:41Why not?
00:44:41Because I want her to stay one day because she wants to.
00:44:44Not because she has no other choice.
00:44:56Dad.
00:44:58Yeah?
00:44:59Did you succeed yesterday?
00:45:04Eat your breakfast.
00:45:06So you didn't.
00:45:09Noah.
00:45:10Dad said he had to make you fall in love with him.
00:45:15Noah.
00:45:17I'm just helping.
00:45:20Mom.
00:45:21Why don't you just say yes?
00:45:25Adult things aren't that simple.
00:45:28Why?
00:45:31Because...
00:45:31Because Mom has the right to take her time.
00:45:37No one gets to decide for her.
00:45:41Then I'll ask every day.
00:45:44No.
00:45:45Every two days?
00:45:48Eat your breakfast.
00:45:57Another contract?
00:45:59Read it first.
00:46:06Why isn't the clause about caring for Nolan here anymore?
00:46:09Because you shouldn't be taking care of him because a contract tells you to.
00:46:14And the monthly allowance?
00:46:16Still there.
00:46:18Why?
00:46:20Because that's what we agreed on from the beginning.
00:46:22And if I stop taking care of Noah?
00:46:25It's still yours.
00:46:28It says here I can end this marriage anytime, and I don't have to give anything back.
00:46:34That's right.
00:46:35You're not scared I'll take the money and run?
00:46:37I am.
00:46:38I am.
00:46:43So I'll have to find a way to make you not want to.
00:46:45You've been talking differently lately.
00:46:48I know.
00:46:50You don't have to sign it today.
00:46:53Why?
00:46:54Because you shouldn't need a contract to prove you can leave.
00:46:58If you want to go, the gate is always open.
00:47:01Julian once told me that if I left, I'd have nothing.
00:47:05While Damien just handed me the key and said I could leave anytime.
00:47:11And somehow, that makes it even harder to walk away.
00:47:25Come in.
00:47:30You're looking for work?
00:47:32I know the contract doesn't require me to work, but I want to start over.
00:47:36Why are you so nervous?
00:47:38Because Julian didn't like me working.
00:47:41He said my salary was too low.
00:47:44It wasn't worth it.
00:47:46After I quit, they said I just spent money and couldn't support myself.
00:47:50The day I left, I had only $36.
00:47:55I don't want to go through that again.
00:47:57So you want to work?
00:47:59Yes.
00:48:00Then do it.
00:48:03That's it?
00:48:05What else?
00:48:06You don't think it's strange, Mrs. Moretti going out to work?
00:48:11Mrs. Moretti can do whatever she wants.
00:48:13What if people think it's embarrassing?
00:48:17Let them come to me.
00:48:22What do you want to do?
00:48:23I studied social policy and project management.
00:48:26I'd like to work for a children's charity or a foundation.
00:48:28Do you want my help?
00:48:31I'd rather not use your name.
00:48:34Okay.
00:48:42Sir, shall I reach out to the foundations in New York?
00:48:45No.
00:48:46Nothing at all?
00:48:47She said not to use my name.
00:48:49But if she hits walls?
00:48:51Then let her.
00:48:54If I don't even let her fail, how am I any different from her ex-husband?
00:48:58Okay.
00:49:06Miss Hayes, your qualifications are excellent.
00:49:09But there's a gap of nearly three years in your resume.
00:49:15I left the workforce after I got married.
00:49:17What did you do during those three years?
00:49:20I took care of the family and a child.
00:49:24Took care of your own child?
00:49:26No.
00:49:31Honestly, you've been out too long.
00:49:33I'm sorry.
00:49:37I understand.
00:49:40Thank you for seeing me.
00:49:48The old me would have believed them.
00:49:53Three years out, I'm worthless now.
00:50:01Hello?
00:50:02How's the interview?
00:50:05I didn't get it.
00:50:06When's the next one?
00:50:08You're not going to comfort me?
00:50:10Need me to?
00:50:12I don't know.
00:50:14You got rejected by one place, not the whole world.
00:50:17So, when's the next one?
00:50:21Friday.
00:50:22Good.
00:50:24Damien, thank you.
00:50:26Didn't I tell you to stop thanking me?
00:50:28Then I'll hang up.
00:50:29Come home for dinner.
00:50:31Okay.
00:50:33Okay.
00:50:56What are you doing here?
00:50:58Interview.
00:51:01Interview?
00:51:02You're Mrs. Morelli now.
00:51:03Still need a job?
00:51:05Yes.
00:51:06Damien can't even support you?
00:51:09That's not what this is about.
00:51:11Emma.
00:51:12Still love causing yourself trouble, don't you?
00:51:15I asked you to quit so you could have an easier life.
00:51:18And then your whole family told me every day that I ate your food, lived in your house,
00:51:22so I had no right to complain.
00:51:25I work now because I want to, and because I'm never putting my ability to survive in any
00:51:29husband's hands again.
00:51:31And including Damien?
00:51:32Including anyone.
00:51:39You weren't like this before.
00:51:41No.
00:51:41The old me was so broken, she couldn't say anything but okay.
00:51:46So thank you for reminding me never to go back to that.
00:51:52Julian, we've lost two more institutional clients.
00:51:55Why?
00:51:56They heard Morelli Group terminated the partnership.
00:51:59They think our compliance standards are compromised.
00:52:01It's just a personal dispute.
00:52:02The market doesn't see it that way.
00:52:04If we don't secure new funding this quarter, we're in trouble.
00:52:08Then find one.
00:52:11There's one fund that reached out.
00:52:13Who?
00:52:14A private investment fund under the Marcel family.
00:52:23This is all that woman's fault.
00:52:25If she hadn't gotten her hooks into Damien, the Moretti Group never would have dropped us.
00:52:31Enough.
00:52:34Who are you scrapping at?
00:52:37From now on, no one goes after Emma.
00:52:40Not one of you.
00:52:41You're still defending her?
00:52:42I'm protecting the company.
00:52:44Every time you humiliate her, Damien cuts off another road for Whitmore Capital.
00:52:49So we're supposed to kiss up to that small-town woman now?
00:52:54She's Mrs. Moretti now.
00:52:58Whether you like it or not, that's the reality.
00:53:05Mr. Whitfer.
00:53:07Mr. Marcel.
00:53:09I heard you need money.
00:53:10This is a business financing discussion, not a rescue.
00:53:14Of course.
00:53:16500 million revolving credit it.
00:53:18Enough to get you through this round.
00:53:22What's the catch?
00:53:25Help me get a read on a family.
00:53:27Which one?
00:53:29The Moretti.
00:53:31I'm not helping you go after Damien.
00:53:33I'm not asking you to hurt anyone.
00:53:35Just schedules, events, vehicles, and when the boy leaves the estate.
00:53:40Noah?
00:53:42Your ex-wife seems quite fond of him.
00:53:47Relax.
00:53:48It's just business.
00:53:50Sign it.
00:53:51Your company survives.
00:53:52Don't.
00:53:53And three months from now, the Whitmore name only appears in bankruptcy notices.
00:54:04Why are you targeting the Morettis?
00:54:0620 years ago, New York wasn't Damien's alone.
00:54:10Then he drove the Marcel family out of Manhattan.
00:54:13I just want back what's mine.
00:54:15That's between you and him.
00:54:17Now it's between you and me, too.
00:54:20Damien cut off your biggest client because of Emma.
00:54:23You're really going to watch your ex-wife use your company as a stepping stone?
00:54:28I'm not asking for trade secrets.
00:54:30Just basic information.
00:54:32I won't touch Emma.
00:54:34Of course not.
00:54:36You still love her, don't you?
00:54:38That's none of your business.
00:54:40Then this is even simpler.
00:54:41Once Damien falls, you save your company and can bring her back.
00:54:53Mom, did you get it?
00:54:55I don't know yet.
00:54:57Are you going out again tomorrow?
00:54:59If I don't get it, then yes.
00:55:02Every day?
00:55:03Sweetheart, I go to work and I come home.
00:55:06Really?
00:55:09Really.
00:55:12Will you still read me stories when you come back?
00:55:17Yes.
00:55:18Will you still eat dinner with me?
00:55:21Yes.
00:55:23Will you still live here?
00:55:30Yes.
00:55:31At least for now.
00:55:32I'll come back every day.
00:55:35Yes.
00:55:42Someone's been looking into the security cameras and roads near Noah's school.
00:55:47Who?
00:55:49Haven't identified yet.
00:55:51Increased security.
00:55:52Should I tell Mrs. Morelli?
00:55:55Not yet.
00:55:57Sir, if this is connected to the Marcells, then she definitely doesn't need to know.
00:56:03Ms. Hayes, we reviewed your revised project proposal.
00:56:06Despite the gap in your resume, your understanding of childhood trauma and family support is very real.
00:56:14We'd like to offer you a three-month trial period.
00:56:19Project Coordination Manager.
00:56:21The salary won't match your current lifestyle.
00:56:25That's fine.
00:56:26When can you start?
00:56:28Tomorrow.
00:56:33You actually got a job?
00:56:35Yeah, I actually got a job.
00:56:38Congratulations.
00:56:40That's it?
00:56:41How many do you need?
00:56:43At least pretend to be surprised.
00:56:45I always knew you would find one.
00:56:50Want to celebrate?
00:56:52Nothing too expensive.
00:56:55Dinner?
00:56:56Pizza!
00:56:58Okay.
00:57:08What time are you coming back?
00:57:115.30.
00:57:12What if your boss makes you stay late?
00:57:15Then I'll call you.
00:57:17What if you forget?
00:57:19I won't.
00:57:22What if you meet a kid you like better?
00:57:25Better.
00:57:27Noah.
00:57:31There are a lot of kids where you work.
00:57:34What if they're better behaved than me?
00:57:36The kids I work with are people I help.
00:57:39You're different.
00:57:41How?
00:57:43You're my family.
00:57:46So I'm your favorite?
00:57:48You can't compare things like that.
00:57:50That means me.
00:57:57I'll drive you.
00:57:59No need.
00:58:00I have a car.
00:58:01First day.
00:58:03So?
00:58:05Is it strange for a husband to drive his wife to work?
00:58:09Don't you have work?
00:58:11I do.
00:58:12I can be late.
00:58:13Fine.
00:58:22What's wrong?
00:58:25Nothing.
00:58:37I don't have a job.
00:58:39I don't have my own money.
00:58:41If I leave him, I don't know how I'll raise my kids.
00:58:48I used to think I was nothing without a husband, too.
00:58:51It took me a long time to realize being scared doesn't mean you're not capable.
00:58:56Someone just made you go too long without proving it.
00:59:00Start with the first step.
00:59:03Mom's 15 minutes late.
00:59:06Traffic.
00:59:06She said 5.30.
00:59:08People are late sometimes.
00:59:10Mom also said she was just going out once.
00:59:14Who are you talking about?
00:59:16The other mom.
00:59:21I'm home.
00:59:26What's wrong?
00:59:27You were late.
00:59:31I'm sorry.
00:59:32There's a kid today who needed me to stay a little longer.
00:59:35Next time you have to tell me.
00:59:38Okay.
00:59:42He's afraid you wouldn't come back.
00:59:44Let's set a new rule, then.
00:59:46Whenever I'm late, I'll call you first.
00:59:49No matter what.
00:59:51Pinky promise.
01:00:01You're going out?
01:00:03We're going out.
01:00:05We?
01:00:07Date.
01:00:11You said you didn't know how to start a real marriage.
01:00:13I looked it up.
01:00:15Looked up what?
01:00:17How normal people date.
01:00:24Are you sure this is safe?
01:00:28Eight men outside.
01:00:30I knew it.
01:00:31You wanted me to be normal.
01:00:33I tried.
01:00:39Why did you never remarry?
01:00:41Wasn't interested.
01:00:43You never liked anyone in all those years?
01:00:45No.
01:00:46What about now?
01:00:48You really want me to spell it out?
01:00:53No.
01:00:54No.
01:01:12I'm sorry.
01:01:14Don't apologize.
01:01:15I just...
01:01:16I know.
01:01:16Whenever you're ready, we'll try again.
01:01:36Noah?
01:01:38Don't!
01:01:39What happened?
01:01:39Close the door!
01:01:40Close it!
01:01:43They're here.
01:01:45They're here again.
01:01:50Mom's here.
01:01:52They're going to take me.
01:01:55Who?
01:01:56Tell Mommy.
01:01:57Who?
01:01:58The black car.
01:02:00Like before.
01:02:03We've notified security, but the vehicle was gone by the time we checked.
01:02:07What happened before?
01:02:11Noah kept saying they're here again.
01:02:13Who are they?
01:02:16The Marcells.
01:02:18You never mention it.
01:02:19When he was two and a half, someone took him from the nanny.
01:02:23He was missing for four hours.
01:02:26They didn't hurt him.
01:02:27Just locked him in a warehouse alone.
01:02:29It was a message from the Marcells.
01:02:31That's why he was scared to go outside.
01:02:33Yes.
01:02:38I thought they'd never come back.
01:02:46Starting now, I want every Marcell operation in New York listed.
01:02:50Warehouses, bars, transport routes, every single one.
01:02:54Sir, you moving on them?
01:02:57They came after my son.
01:02:59That's the line.
01:03:03No.
01:03:04You shouldn't be here.
01:03:06Are you going to kill people?
01:03:08This is family business.
01:03:10Noah is my family, too.
01:03:12Today, he saw a car and hid under a desk, shaking.
01:03:15If you go start a war with men tonight, everyone in New York will be talking about the Marcells shootout
01:03:21by tomorrow.
01:03:21You think that will make Noah feel safer?
01:03:23They won't stop.
01:03:25Then find evidence.
01:03:27Find out who went near his school.
01:03:31Protecting Noah isn't about putting more guns near him.
01:03:38Everyone out.
01:03:42No one has ever stopped me like that.
01:03:44Are you angry?
01:03:46A little.
01:03:48Are you still listening to me?
01:03:50Yes.
01:03:53Yes.
01:03:54Because you're right.
01:03:56And you said Noah is your family.
01:03:59Of course he is.
01:04:07License plate's fake, but we tracked the car's route from two days ago.
01:04:12Whitmore Capital?
01:04:13Keep going.
01:04:19Julian.
01:04:21Might not be him.
01:04:26You're defending him?
01:04:28I'm going by the evidence.
01:04:31If he's involved, I'll handle it.
01:04:35Who let you to contact the Marcells?
01:04:38I thought you approved it.
01:04:40I approved business documents.
01:04:42They asked for public event schedules for the Moretti Boys School.
01:04:45I thought it fell under basic scheduling information.
01:04:47From now on, not a single piece of information about that child goes to anyone.
01:04:51But Marcells already released the funds.
01:04:54I said...
01:04:55Nothing.
01:05:11Ma'am, there's a woman at the door.
01:05:13Who's she looking for?
01:05:14The young master.
01:05:16The young master.
01:05:21Noah.
01:05:25Baby.
01:05:27Who are you?
01:05:29I'm your mom.
01:05:35Who let you in?
01:05:37Six years.
01:05:38And that's the first thing you say to me?
01:05:41Get out.
01:05:42I'm Noah's mother.
01:05:44No, you're not.
01:05:45I gave birth to him!
01:05:47Mom!
01:05:54What did he just call you?
01:05:57You don't get to ask that.
01:05:59Damien?
01:06:00I came back for my son.
01:06:06She really is Noah's biological mother?
01:06:09Yes.
01:06:10Why did she leave?
01:06:12After Noah was born, the Marcells were threatening me.
01:06:15She got scared.
01:06:16When Noah was a little over a year old, she said she was going out to get something.
01:06:20She never came back.
01:06:22Did you look for her?
01:06:24Yes.
01:06:25Later, she had a lawyer send a letter.
01:06:27She didn't want Noah, and she didn't want the Moretti name.
01:06:30What about the kidnapping?
01:06:31That happened after she left.
01:06:35He kept crying for his mother.
01:06:37I couldn't tell a two-year-old that his mother left on her own.
01:06:45You're the woman from the contract?
01:06:48What?
01:06:49Damien married a woman to take care of Noah.
01:06:52New York talks.
01:06:54That's between us.
01:06:55Don't misunderstand.
01:06:56I'm not here to take your husband.
01:06:58I'm here for my son.
01:06:59Noah isn't something you take.
01:07:01At least I'm his real mother.
01:07:05You just happened to be there when he was vulnerable.
01:07:07When he grows up, he'll know who his mother really is.
01:07:18Is that woman still here today?
01:07:23She's at a hotel.
01:07:25Why does she say she's my mom?
01:07:29Because she gave birth to you.
01:07:32Then why doesn't she know me?
01:07:36She doesn't know I don't like carrots.
01:07:39She doesn't know I need the nightlight to sleep.
01:07:42A mom should know those things.
01:07:44You know.
01:07:46Mrs. Vail believes Mr. Moretti's household has a history of exposure to danger.
01:07:51Furthermore, Ms. Hayes, who currently cares for Noah, entered the marriage through a contractual arrangement.
01:07:56We also have Ms. Hayes' medical records confirming long-term mental health...
01:08:00You had her investigated?
01:08:01For my son.
01:08:02I need to know who's sleeping in the room next to his.
01:08:06Damien.
01:08:08A depressed woman who entered the Moretti house through a contract?
01:08:13You really think a judge would choose her over Noah's biological mother?
01:08:24Mom!
01:08:25Read to me!
01:08:27Let Dad read today, okay?
01:08:30Why?
01:08:31Mom has work.
01:08:32You read even when you had work before.
01:08:35I'm a little tired today.
01:08:46You've been pulling away from Noah.
01:08:48I haven't.
01:08:50You have.
01:08:52Celeste is back.
01:08:54So what?
01:08:55She's his mother.
01:08:57And?
01:08:58So I shouldn't let Noah get more attached to me.
01:09:01Emma.
01:09:02If the court gives her custody, if Noah has to leave one day,
01:09:05the more I act like his mother now, the harder it'll be for him.
01:09:09You're doing it again.
01:09:11Deciding what's best for everyone.
01:09:13I just...
01:09:14Did Noah say he doesn't want you?
01:09:18No.
01:09:19Did I say I don't want you?
01:09:22No.
01:09:23Then why are you the one pushing yourself out?
01:09:26No.
01:09:44You're leaving?
01:09:46Sweetheart?
01:09:47You're leaving me too?
01:09:49No!
01:09:50You said you'd come back!
01:09:52You said you wouldn't leave!
01:09:53Noah, listen to me!
01:09:55Liar!
01:09:56Mom's all lies!
01:09:57The other mom said she was going out, and she never came back!
01:10:02You're packing too!
01:10:04I'm sorry.
01:10:06Mom was wrong.
01:10:09Don't go.
01:10:10I'm not going.
01:10:12Really?
01:10:14Really.
01:10:15I'm your mom.
01:10:17Not because of a contract.
01:10:19Not because your dad pays me.
01:10:20Because I love you.
01:10:22That's why I'm not going to disappear on you.
01:10:24Then open the suitcase.
01:10:42Miss Hayes, have you been diagnosed with severe depression?
01:10:44Is it appropriate for someone with your condition to care for a four-year-old?
01:10:48Is it true you entered the Moretti family through a contractual marriage for money?
01:10:54Are you on psychiatric medication?
01:10:56Why have your medical records been kept private?
01:10:59Enough!
01:10:59Back off!
01:11:07We can offer you a temporary leave of absence.
01:11:11Because of my illness.
01:11:13Because of the media pressure.
01:11:14If I take time off, they'll say, see, she's really unstable.
01:11:19It took me so long to admit I needed help.
01:11:22Now they're using the fact that I got help as proof that I don't deserve to be a mother.
01:11:29We're investigating the leak.
01:11:30But the media moves fast.
01:11:32Shut it down.
01:11:33All of it.
01:11:34Sir, that could make it look like the Moretti family is suppressing the story.
01:11:38The most effective approach would be for Mrs. Moretti to address it herself.
01:11:42She doesn't owe anyone an explanation.
01:11:44But I want to say something.
01:11:50This time, I want to speak for myself.
01:12:03Mrs. Hayes, do you admit to having a long-term depression?
01:12:06Yes.
01:12:10I've had depression.
01:12:12I still see a doctor regularly.
01:12:15Some mornings I wake up feeling terrible.
01:12:17Some nights I need medication to sleep.
01:12:22But being sick doesn't mean you're not allowed to work.
01:12:25It doesn't mean you're not allowed to be a wife or a mother.
01:12:30What made me worse was never admitting I was sick.
01:12:33What made me worse was being told that my pain was fake and my tears were just for attention.
01:12:42If anyone is going through what I went through, I want to tell you this.
01:12:45There's no shame in seeing a doctor.
01:12:48There's no shame in leaving someone who hurts you.
01:12:51And there's no shame in starting over.
01:13:02Did I say too much?
01:13:04Not enough.
01:13:07What?
01:13:08You should have told them you're the bravest woman I've ever met.
01:13:14Next time, you won't need me to say it.
01:13:17You said it yourself.
01:13:19Perfectly.
01:13:24Our website traffic went up ten times overnight.
01:13:27New donations have already exceeded the last six months.
01:13:31A lot of people said it was because of what you said yesterday.
01:13:35The board voted to end your probation period.
01:13:38End?
01:13:39You're permanent.
01:13:40Starting today.
01:13:41And we want you to lead the new family trauma support program.
01:13:47Mom's on TV.
01:13:49You watched it?
01:13:51I didn't understand all of it, but my teacher said you were brave.
01:13:55I already knew that.
01:13:59Dad, when are you going to win Mom over?
01:14:02Noah!
01:14:04It's been a long time.
01:14:07I'm working on it.
01:14:10Too slow.
01:14:19Celeste hasn't been living alone in Europe all these years.
01:14:24For the past six years, she's received regular payments from an offshore company.
01:14:29Which company?
01:14:30The ultimate beneficiary traces back to the Marcel family.
01:14:36She's been connected to the Marcells this whole time?
01:14:39Financially, at least.
01:14:46So her coming back for custody, it was also arranged by the Marcells?
01:14:50Most likely.
01:14:53Why would she help the family that threatened her own child?
01:14:56Money.
01:14:59I don't believe a mother would do that just for money.
01:15:01Not everyone who gives birth knows how to love.
01:15:06You're not Noah's biological mother.
01:15:08But you're the one who got him to eat.
01:15:10To go outside.
01:15:12To sleep without nightmares.
01:15:16Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you don't belong because of blood.
01:15:24Explain.
01:15:25These are personal income records.
01:15:27From the Marcells?
01:15:29If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have survived.
01:15:32They kidnapped your son.
01:15:34That happened later!
01:15:37What do you mean?
01:15:41Keep going.
01:15:43They threatened me to leave you back then.
01:15:46I was scared.
01:15:47So I left.
01:15:48How long did the threatens last?
01:15:53Six months?
01:15:58A year?
01:16:02And why are you still taking their money six years later?
01:16:05Because I've already lost six years.
01:16:07I lost everything!
01:16:09They said if I came back and got custody of Noah,
01:16:12they'd give me 50 million dollars!
01:16:15So you didn't come back for your son.
01:16:19You came back just for money.
01:16:21Again.
01:16:29Noah?
01:16:30When you left me, did I cry?
01:16:35Dad said I cried a lot back then.
01:16:39Baby, I didn't have a choice back then.
01:16:41When I was crying, where were you?
01:16:44I...
01:16:45I don't remember you.
01:16:49I only remember Mom.
01:16:54Noah, I'm your real mother.
01:16:58You're the one who gave birth to me.
01:17:00But Emma is the one who comes home every day.
01:17:11Mom.
01:17:13Yeah?
01:17:14If I used to like her, would you be mad?
01:17:18Of course not.
01:17:20What if I want to see her someday?
01:17:23I wouldn't be mad either.
01:17:26Why?
01:17:27Because loving someone isn't about keeping them from anyone else.
01:17:30For this moment, she was saying what was possible to do with your dreams?
01:17:32She's the last day.
01:17:33How am I born now?
01:17:33She said anything to me for you.
01:17:33So why do you make my man?
01:17:33But she was the one who gets more of the talent.
01:17:34What would you like him when seeing her?
01:17:35So what makes her?
01:17:36See you the first part.
01:17:36No.
01:17:36I love you.
01:17:36You
