Transcript

00:00:00After Granny Esalen passed, they settled the estate.

00:00:04Tyler got almost a million dollars in estate.

00:00:07And I got a pile of her old clothes.

00:00:11Avery, you're 18 now.

00:00:14Ever since Granny Esalen passed, her old clothes have just been sitting in the closet.

00:00:19If you want something to remember her by, take them.

00:00:22Those old coats, old sweaters, and that patched-up jacket Granny left behind?

00:00:27I've been meaning to throw them out.

00:00:28I just never got around to it.

00:00:31If you want them, take them.

00:00:37Avery, that bag of old clothes probably weighs more than all these deeds and titles.

00:00:46I didn't learn where I stood in this family today.

00:00:50I knew when I was six, on Tyler's 10th birthday.

00:00:55Yay!

00:00:56It's your big day.

00:01:00Make a wish, buddy.

00:01:02Happy birthday, Tyler.

00:01:05Happy birthday.

00:01:09Happy birthday, Tyler.

00:01:16Mom, my birthday is next month.

00:01:21Will I get a cake, too?

00:01:23Your birthday and Tyler's are only a month apart.

00:01:26We'll just celebrate together.

00:01:27It's easier that way.

00:01:28But Tyler's birthday is already over.

00:01:32Then wait until Tyler's next birthday.

00:01:34We'll celebrate together then.

00:01:54Every year after that, I never got a cake of my own.

00:01:58Tyler's birthday was a family event.

00:02:00Mine was just something I dealt with alone.

00:02:08Mom, Dad, I want to go to the arcade.

00:02:09Sure, come on, let's go.

00:02:15Until the year I turned 16, I saw my birthday circled in red on the calendar.

00:02:20I thought my mom had finally remembered.

00:02:24So I ran to ask her.

00:02:27Mom, April 18th was circled in red on the calendar.

00:02:32Today's my birthday.

00:02:33So are we doing anything?

00:02:35Oh, that's the day we need to pay Tyler's tutoring fee.

00:02:38$2,000.

00:02:40I circled it because I was afraid I'd forget.

00:02:44Then can I sign up for a math competition prep program, too?

00:02:49The registration fee is $400.

00:02:51Is that okay?

00:02:53$400?

00:02:54Yeah.

00:02:56I made the top 12 on the last exam.

00:02:58I want to push myself a little harder.

00:03:00Push yourself for what?

00:03:01Your grades are already fine.

00:03:03Tyler is the one who needs help.

00:03:05It's not like we have money for every little program.

00:03:07But I really want to.

00:03:08No buts.

00:03:10Tyler needs tutoring because his grades are bad.

00:03:12You don't.

00:03:13We only have so much money.

00:03:15Tyler needs this more right now.

00:03:17He's failing, so he needs help.

00:03:19Your grades are already good.

00:03:21You don't need it.

00:03:22Mom.

00:03:22Ugh.

00:03:23Move.

00:03:23You're in my way.

00:03:27But I was your daughter, too.

00:03:30In Mom's mind, it always made sense.

00:03:32No matter what I said, money was never meant for me.

00:03:36Look at you getting big and strong.

00:03:39Hey, Mom, Dad, I want to go to the arcade.

00:03:41Sure.

00:03:41Let's go.

00:03:42Let's go.

00:03:42Arcade time.

00:03:43Another year passed.

00:03:44My parents threw Tyler another loud, happy birthday party.

00:03:50At 17, I was nothing more than an extra play setting beside the cake.

00:03:56In that house, only one person treated me differently.

00:04:05Granny Evelyn.

00:04:08Avery.

00:04:09Come with Granny.

00:04:17Avery, your mom and dad may have forgotten your birthday, but Granny didn't.

00:04:23Here, take it.

00:04:27Don't blame Dennis and Linda.

00:04:30Dennis is a fool, and Linda, never mind.

00:04:34Granny, I don't blame them.

00:04:35Everything I have will be yours one day.

00:04:43Back then, I didn't understand what Granny meant.

00:04:46What could Granny possibly have that was worth anything?

00:04:50Not until right before Granny passed when she called me to her bedside.

00:04:54Avery, come here.

00:04:59Granny.

00:05:00Granny.

00:05:03Don't be scared.

00:05:07The old clothes in my closet, don't throw them away, no matter what.

00:05:12Keep them.

00:05:13I'll keep them.

00:05:14Remember this.

00:05:16They're for you.

00:05:27Granny?

00:05:29Granny?

00:05:30Granny!

00:05:31Granny!

00:05:32Granny!

00:05:33Granny!

00:05:35Granny!

00:05:35After Granny died, her funeral was painfully small.

00:05:39Dennis stood in front of the memorial service for ten minutes.

00:05:43Tyler took one phone call and left.

00:05:46Linda greeted relatives, laughing and chatting like nothing happened.

00:05:55After Granny was gone, her room was cleared out almost immediately.

00:06:00Anything that could be sold was sold.

00:06:03Anything that could be thrown away was thrown away.

00:06:05Mom!

00:06:15Mom!

00:06:16Mom, I want to keep Granny's clothes.

00:06:17What are you keeping them for?

00:06:20They're just old winter coats and worn-out sweaters.

00:06:23You can't even wear them.

00:06:25I-I just want something to remember her by.

00:06:30Something to remember her by?

00:06:36Fine.

00:06:36If you want to keep them, take them to your room.

00:06:38Just don't leave them in the living room, taking up space.

00:06:55Over the next year, I kept opening my closet, just to smell the moth stoles in Granny's old clothes.

00:07:02It felt like she was still there with me.

00:07:04Until one week before the family asset transfer.

00:07:07I came home from school and saw Tyler bringing a contractor into my room.

00:07:12This wall right here?

00:07:14It's small, but it'll work as a guest room.

00:07:17Add a closet and a full-size bed.

00:07:19What about Avery's stuff?

00:07:20Didn't your parents say she's moving out?

00:07:22Just clear it out.

00:07:23Fine.

00:07:28Oh, you're here.

00:07:30Why didn't you say anything?

00:07:31Good.

00:07:32Then you heard him.

00:07:33The contractor's coming next week, so pack your stuff early.

00:07:37I'm talking to you.

00:07:39You hear me?

00:07:41Yeah.

00:07:42Let's go.

00:07:52On the day they put the family assets in Tyler's name, I was the last one to know.

00:07:56I woke up and saw a stack of documents on the table in the Hart family living room.

00:08:01Dennis, Linda, and Tyler were already sitting there.

00:08:04Your granny is gone, and the estate need to be settled.

00:08:08Tyler has been with us longer.

00:08:10He understands the store, so we're putting everything in his name.

00:08:13The family hardware and building supply store, inventory, and storefront are worth about $320,000.

00:08:20The Riverbend house is worth around $322,000.

00:08:24The old family property is worth about $130,000.

00:08:27And Dennis' four-year-old Toyota Cam is still worth about $22,000.

00:08:31There's another $135,000 in the credit union savings account.

00:08:37All together, that's almost a million dollars in the state.

00:08:41All of it goes to you.

00:08:45For now, work at the store and learn the ropes.

00:08:48In a couple of years, if you want to open your own store, we'll talk about it then.

00:08:54Fine.

00:08:58Avery, you've been keeping granny's old clothes anyway.

00:09:01Take those.

00:09:02Something to remember her by.

00:09:04Yeah.

00:09:05I've wanted to throw those old coats and sweaters away for ages.

00:09:08Didn't you insist on keeping them?

00:09:10Then take them.

00:09:11Avery, that bag of old clothes probably weighs more than all these deeds and titles.

00:09:18Good.

00:09:19Sign here, too, Tyler.

00:09:21Thank you.

00:09:29Pack your things and get out.

00:09:43Avery, once you walk out that door, don't ever say this family gave you nothing.

00:09:49Granny's things count, too.

00:09:52Don't worry, Dennis.

00:09:53I understand perfectly.

00:09:56Good.

00:10:10I used the only $20,400 I had, everything I'd save from part-time jobs in high school,

00:10:16to rent this $700 basement room in a rough neighborhood.

00:10:19I enrolled in online community college courses, worked diner shifts during the day, and studied

00:10:25at night.

00:10:39If granny were still here, she'd never let me stay here all alone.

00:10:48What is this?

00:10:56A credit union passbook?

00:11:04A credit union passbook?

00:11:06$82,500?

00:11:10Granny saved this from her pension checks, grandpa's insurance money, and every dollar she could spare

00:11:16for 18 years.

00:11:18For 18 years.

00:11:18Just a little more.

00:11:20Avery's going to need it one day.

00:11:23When everyone else made me feel like I didn't matter, granny remembered me.

00:11:32All these years, she never forgot it me.

00:11:45There was something hidden in granny's winter coat.

00:11:51What about the other clothes?

00:12:06Nothing.

00:12:18This pocket's been sewn shut.

00:12:33$64 East Side Row House.

00:12:36Five hundred ten square feet.

00:12:41Owner, Avery Hart.

00:12:45Granny actually bought me a house.

00:12:50Back in 2004, I was only two years old.

00:12:53Granny had already made sure I had a way out.

00:13:01If I remember correctly, that whole area is being redeveloped.

00:13:06At about $1610 per square foot, 510 square feet, that's about $310,000, plus the $82,500 in

00:13:18the credit union account.

00:13:20That bag of old clothes granny left me was worth almost $400,000.

00:13:25More than money, it was a way out.

00:13:35Nothing.

00:13:38Nothing.

00:13:40Nothing.

00:13:45This one's sewed shut, too.

00:13:57A letter granny wrote for me.

00:14:00A letter granny wrote for me.

00:14:11Avery, you were 15 when I wrote this letter.

00:14:14I'm not good with fancy words, but some things have to be written down.

00:14:18Ever since you were little, you never liked to cry.

00:14:22Other kids cried when they were hurt.

00:14:24You didn't.

00:14:25You just lowered your head and stayed quiet.

00:14:27And every time granny saw you like that, it broke my heart every time.

00:14:33Dennis is weak.

00:14:35Linda knows exactly what she's doing.

00:14:39And somehow, you're the one who suffered for it.

00:14:44I don't know how much money Dennis and Linda spent on Tyler, but I know exactly how much

00:14:49granny saved for you.

00:14:51Back then, Dennis borrowed $95,000 from me to open the store.

00:14:55That was almost everything I'd saved my whole life, and bought a small east side property

00:14:59in your name.

00:15:03The deed is in your name.

00:15:06Dennis never knew.

00:15:11Dennis' store started making money later, but none of that ever seemed to reach you.

00:15:19So granny left you something of your own.

00:15:26The passbook is inside the left sleeve of the winter coat.

00:15:33You found it, right?

00:15:39Granny!

00:15:40I found them!

00:15:41I found them!

00:15:43Avery, I'm not afraid to die, Avery.

00:15:46I'm only afraid that after I'm gone, no one will love you the way you deserve.

00:15:51Remember this, you don't owe them anything.

00:15:54Live well.

00:15:55Don't shrink yourself for anyone.

00:15:57Granny loves you.

00:15:58I always have.

00:16:00Granny!

00:16:13Granny, I'll listen to you.

00:16:15I'll live well.

00:16:17I won't let anyone hurt me anymore.

00:16:38This is the old east side rue house granny left me.

00:16:42It's already been marked as part of a redevelopment zone.

00:16:45It's tiny and run-down, but it's enough for me to live in.

00:16:55Granny, I get it now.

00:16:58What you left me wasn't just money.

00:17:00It was a home.

00:17:02A home that belongs only to me.

00:17:07I used the money in the credit union passbook to pay back the textbook costs and living expenses

00:17:14I owed from all three years of high school.

00:17:18I didn't touch the rest.

00:17:21I kept studying for my online community college courses.

00:17:26Later, I earned my online associate degree.

00:17:30Then, I got my bookkeeping certificate and QuickBooks certification.

00:17:39I used part of the money from the river community credit union passbook to build my first AI product.

00:17:47And later, I founded LumaCore AI.

00:17:52Thank you all for coming to the launch of LumaCore AI.

00:17:56Happy launch day.

00:18:09Mrs. Hart, here are this month's client growth and revenue reports for LumaCore AI.

00:18:14Please take a look.

00:18:15Okay.

00:18:17Leave it here.

00:18:19I'll call you if there's a problem.

00:18:22Boss.

00:18:25Are you seriously not coming back to your office?

00:18:28You can't just keep hanging around here like a regular receptionist?

00:18:35Isn't that what I have you for?

00:18:37I helped put you through college.

00:18:40Brought you into LumaCore AI to help run things.

00:18:43And now, what?

00:18:46I can't slack off a little.

00:18:48And finally catch my breath.

00:18:50Wow.

00:18:51Must be nice for you to slack off.

00:18:53Meanwhile, poor me is running around the company like a workhorse every single day.

00:18:57Not even one day off.

00:18:59Boss.

00:19:00My dear, wonderful boss.

00:19:02For the love of God, have a little mercy on me.

00:19:06Definitely next time.

00:19:13Boss, does sitting down here really mean that much to you?

00:19:18Back then I used what granny left me to survive, study, and build the first version of LumaCore AI.

00:19:22Now I've built it into an AI company worth shed of D-Wen.

00:19:26But every time a bad Sid, I just won't come sit her be an ordinary employee for a few days.

00:19:31I don't know why, but it makes me feel grounded.

00:19:34Fine.

00:19:35Then you stay here and enjoy being an ordinary employee.

00:19:39I'll go back upstairs and keep working myself to death for you.

00:19:44Go on.

00:19:51Carol?

00:19:52Back when the family split everything up, she chewed Dennis out over the phone.

00:19:55But that was all she did.

00:19:57One phone call couldn't change anything.

00:19:58In the past six years, that family never called me once, except for Carol.

00:20:04Hi, Carol.

00:20:04Avery.

00:20:05Tyler hasn't been doing well lately.

00:20:08Didn't Dennis and Lisa give him almost a million dollars in estate?

00:20:11How is he not doing well?

00:20:12They did, but he sold off half of that family hardware and building supply stop and pulled out about $160

00:20:18,000.

00:20:19Then he opened some trendy bubble tea franchise with a friend and lost most of it.

00:20:24After that, he started trading futures and the losses just kept piling up.

00:20:28That almost million?

00:20:30Gone.

00:20:31And now he owes a lot on top of it.

00:20:34And what does that have to do with me?

00:20:36Avery.

00:20:38Dennis is getting old.

00:20:39He has gout now.

00:20:40He limps when he walks.

00:20:42And you're doing well now, so maybe help Tyler a little.

00:20:47He's still your brother after all.

00:20:49I'm just a regular employee.

00:20:51I don't have that kind of pull.

00:20:52I can't help them.

00:20:53Yeah, I understand.

00:20:54Carol, everything I suffered all these years can't be erased with one line about family.

00:21:00I don't hate them.

00:21:02But I will never forgive them.

00:21:09Hi, welcome to LumaCore AI.

00:21:14Avery.

00:21:15It's mom.

00:21:18Yeah.

00:21:19Avery.

00:21:20Have you been okay all these years?

00:21:22I've been fine.

00:21:26Carol told me you work at this company?

00:21:29Yeah, LumaCore AI.

00:21:32So, Avery, your brother's been having some trouble.

00:21:36He's not doing that family hardware and building supply store anymore.

00:21:40He wants to move in a new direction.

00:21:42But money's tight right now.

00:21:44Cash flow's kind of stuck.

00:21:46I'm not asking for much.

00:21:48Just $3,000 or $4,000.

00:21:50Help him get through this.

00:21:52And once things turn around, he'll pay you right back.

00:21:56Six years ago, when we split the estate, all you gave me was one bag of old clothes.

00:22:02Dennis said, once you walk out that door, don't say I never gave you anything.

00:22:08Avery.

00:22:09Linda, I'm just a cleaner here.

00:22:11After rent, groceries, and transportation, there's barely anything left.

00:22:15I don't have money to help you guys.

00:22:18But if you don't have anything else to say, then leave.

00:22:21I still have work to do.

00:22:24I'll come back in a couple of days.

00:22:33Hi.

00:22:33Feel free to look around if you need anything.

00:22:42Avery, a company this huge must pay pretty well.

00:22:46So what do they give you to mop the floors?

00:22:50What does that have to do with you?

00:22:58So?

00:23:00Is the pay decent or what?

00:23:05Avery, don't ignore me.

00:23:06Told ya.

00:23:07I'm tight on cash.

00:23:08Show me the money.

00:23:10What?

00:23:11Seriously?

00:23:12You don't understand?

00:23:13I need money.

00:23:14I need 10 grand.

00:23:16Yesterday, mom begged me for just $3,000 or $4,000.

00:23:20Now he shows up and suddenly it's 10 grand?

00:23:22I don't have it.

00:23:26You're cleaning at a company this huge?

00:23:29You're telling me you don't even make $10,000 a month?

00:23:32Even if I did, I wouldn't lend it to you.

00:23:35I'm your brother.

00:23:36Your actual brother.

00:23:38Oh, I get it.

00:23:39You're doing better now so you can just watch your own brother struggle?

00:23:44My actual brother got almost a million dollars in estate when the family split everything up.

00:23:49I didn't get a single cent.

00:23:52No, that was dad's decision.

00:23:54What does that have to do with me?

00:23:55Then go borrow it from dad.

00:23:57Avery, you've changed.

00:23:59You never used to be like this.

00:24:01People change.

00:24:02Especially after their own family throws them out with their own two hands.

00:24:06Fine.

00:24:07Then I'm leaving.

00:24:11Wait.

00:24:12No.

00:24:13Something doesn't add up.

00:24:15You can get into a company this huge and you're telling me you don't have money?

00:24:19What does that have to do with you?

00:24:21You'll regret this.

00:24:24I have a feeling this isn't over.

00:24:27They'll probably come back tomorrow.

00:24:34Avery, it's been six years.

00:24:37We haven't sat down as a family in forever.

00:24:39Come have dinner with us today.

00:24:41No.

00:24:43What did you just say?

00:24:44I'm your father.

00:24:46I asked you to dinner and you refuse?

00:24:49Avery, your dad's only trying to be nice.

00:24:52What's wrong with the family having a meal together?

00:24:56Avery, mom and dad came here themselves to take you to dinner.

00:24:59Who do you think you are acting like this?

00:25:02Say what you came to say.

00:25:04I don't have time to play happy family over dinner.

00:25:06Your brother owes some money.

00:25:08A lot of it.

00:25:09You're doing fine now, so help him out.

00:25:11He's your brother.

00:25:12You have to help.

00:25:13How much is it this time?

00:25:17$50,000.

00:25:18First mom asked me for $3,000 or $4,000.

00:25:20Then Tyler wanted $10,000.

00:25:22Now it's $50,000.

00:25:24Maybe get your story straight before you come begging for money.

00:25:26It's $50,000.

00:25:27That's it.

00:25:28We didn't have the full number before.

00:25:30Now we do.

00:25:31And it's $50,000.

00:25:33Stop running your mouth and give me the damn money.

00:25:36I don't have it.

00:25:38Then this job at LumaCore AI.

00:25:40I got this job at LumaCore AI on my own.

00:25:43Avery!

00:25:44I raised you for 18 years!

00:25:49Yeah, Dad.

00:25:50Then do the math.

00:25:52How much did you actually spend on me in those 18 years?

00:25:56You raised me for 18 years, and when the estate everything up, all I got was a bag of old

00:26:01clothes.

00:26:02I walked out with that bag in my hands, and you didn't even look at me.

00:26:05Avery, that's not what happened.

00:26:07We had our reasons.

00:26:10Reasons?

00:26:11I don't know what kind of reasons could make me live in that house.

00:26:13Like some stray you picked up off the street?

00:26:15Tyler got everything he wanted.

00:26:17I had to beg for even one word of care.

00:26:20I was the one they looked down on.

00:26:22I was the one they ignored, and in the end, I was still the one thrown out like trash.

00:26:27So your reasons were just that you never saw me as a person?

00:26:30So what?

00:26:33You have hard blood in your veins.

00:26:35You such an ungrateful daughter!

00:26:37How could you say something like that?

00:26:40Fine.

00:26:41Maybe we were too hard on you.

00:26:44But you don't hold a grudge against your own family forever.

00:26:47Listen to me, Avery.

00:26:48Money can be earned back.

00:26:51Family can't.

00:26:53Right.

00:26:53Now that you're doing well, suddenly you've got a mouth on you.

00:26:56But did you ever think about this?

00:26:58If Mom and Dad hadn't kicked you out back then,

00:27:00would you even be where you are today?

00:27:03Honestly, you should be thanking us.

00:27:05You're right.

00:27:06If you hadn't kicked me out, I never would have learned the truth.

00:27:09There are parents who protect their children,

00:27:11and there are parents who become the lesson.

00:27:14So thank you.

00:27:15At 18, you gave me the most painful lesson I've ever had to learn.

00:27:22It's only been six years.

00:27:24How did you turn into this?

00:27:26Where did my sweet, obedient daughter go?

00:27:30You can act cold all you want, but you're still a heart.

00:27:34Last chance, Avery.

00:27:35Are you going to help with the money or not?

00:27:39No.

00:27:42Dad, I'm not that 18-year-old girl.

00:27:45You could just throw out of the house anymore.

00:27:49Avery, don't hold it against your dad.

00:27:52He just has a short temper.

00:27:53That's all.

00:27:56Avery, you really have grown up.

00:27:58I can't discipline you anymore.

00:28:00But you said we didn't raise you?

00:28:02Fine.

00:28:03Then let's settle every cent we spent on you for those 18 years.

00:28:07Right here, right now.

00:28:09Dennis, why are you bringing all that up?

00:28:11We're family.

00:28:12Dad, count it up.

00:28:14Everything she ate, wore, and used growing up came from this family.

00:28:18We need to make it clear today.

00:28:20Fine.

00:28:20Then let's settle the account today.

00:28:24This is everything we spent on you growing up.

00:28:27Tuition, housing, every single expense.

00:28:31I kept track of all of it.

00:28:33$70,000?

00:28:35Did you really spend that much on me?

00:28:37All through elementary school, I wore Tyler's old clothes and hand-on-downs for my cousins.

00:28:43So where exactly did this $200 for clothes go?

00:28:46In middle school and all three years of high school, I went to the cheapest schools you could find.

00:28:52My monthly living allowance was only $20.

00:28:55So out of this $70,000, how much was actually spent on me?

00:29:02Or did you count everything you spend on Tyler under my name too?

00:29:05Stop making things up.

00:29:07Dad kept every single bill.

00:29:09Did you?

00:29:09You're just talking.

00:29:10So whatever you say is supposed to be the truth now?

00:29:13Fine.

00:29:14Do you want bills?

00:29:17I have them too.

00:29:18Ever since I was old enough to remember,

00:29:20I wrote down every penny you spent on me in my notes.

00:29:23Big or small.

00:29:25Even when I switched phones, I never lost them.

00:29:28Other than the years from when I was born to four,

00:29:31because my memory's blurry,

00:29:33I wrote down everything I could remember.

00:29:35Every single thing.

00:29:37Altogether, you spent

00:29:39barely $20,000 on me.

00:29:42Avery, why are you bringing all this up?

00:29:44We're family.

00:29:44Mom, you treat her like family.

00:29:47Does she treat us like family?

00:29:49Look at her.

00:29:49She kept every number this clear.

00:29:51She's been waiting for day to settle the score.

00:29:54Wasn't Dad the one who wanted to settle accounts first?

00:29:56I'm just doing exactly what Dad wanted,

00:29:58making the numbers a little clearer.

00:30:00So what, Avery?

00:30:01What the hell are you trying to say?

00:30:03Your parents owe you.

00:30:04So what now?

00:30:05You want us to get on our knees

00:30:07and beg for your forgiveness?

00:30:08Is that what'll finally make you happy?

00:30:10I don't want an apology.

00:30:12I just want to ask one question

00:30:13for the girl I was before 18.

00:30:15You gave birth to me.

00:30:17But if you weren't going to love me,

00:30:18protect me, or treat me right,

00:30:21why did you have me in the first place?

00:30:23Avery, don't say we didn't love you.

00:30:25We did.

00:30:25But we weren't rich.

00:30:27Working class families don't get to pamper

00:30:29every child like royalty.

00:30:30When money is tight,

00:30:32kids are supposed to understand.

00:30:33Plenty of kids your age went out

00:30:35and worked to help their families.

00:30:36We were just trying to survive,

00:30:38like everyone else.

00:30:39Kids from poor families

00:30:41don't usually whine this much.

00:30:43Tyler was more responsible.

00:30:44So yes, we treated him better.

00:30:47So what?

00:30:48You call that not raising you?

00:30:50Not loving you?

00:30:51If we truly didn't care,

00:30:52we would have given you away

00:30:54the second you came into this world.

00:30:56Exactly.

00:31:00Fine.

00:31:01I get it now.

00:31:03Enough.

00:31:04We've said what needed to be said.

00:31:06Give your brother some money for the emergency.

00:31:08Yeah.

00:31:08Even a few tens of thousands would help.

00:31:12You spent only $20,000 on me in total.

00:31:15I'll wire you $25,000 now.

00:31:18Principal plus interest.

00:31:19But from this day on,

00:31:21I don't owe you anything.

00:31:25You!

00:31:26Avery,

00:31:26what kind of nonsense is that?

00:31:29We're family.

00:31:30Why are you talking like this?

00:31:32Fine.

00:31:32We'll do it your way today.

00:31:34Give your brother $25,000 first,

00:31:36just to help him get through this.

00:31:38When you come around,

00:31:40we'll come back.

00:31:49Seriously, Mom?

00:31:50Did you see Avery's attitude?

00:31:52We asked her for a little money,

00:31:54and she kept dodging,

00:31:55calculating every damn cent.

00:31:57She's grown up.

00:31:59Thinks she has wings now.

00:32:00Won't listen anymore.

00:32:02Stop it,

00:32:02both of you.

00:32:03I gave birth to that girl.

00:32:05No matter how tough she acts,

00:32:07she's still my daughter.

00:32:08Girls like her just need a little coaxing.

00:32:11Say a few nice things,

00:32:13soften her up,

00:32:14and she'll come around.

00:32:15But the two of you charged in like bulls.

00:32:18Mom,

00:32:19$25,000 won't even come close to filling the hole.

00:32:22My girlfriend,

00:32:24Tessa,

00:32:24is about to marry me,

00:32:26and her family wants a $75,000 wedding fund.

00:32:29Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?

00:32:33My health is failing now,

00:32:35and you're buried in debt out there.

00:32:37Without at least a few hundred thousand,

00:32:38we're not getting through this.

00:32:42I just took a look.

00:32:44The company Avery works for seems pretty solid.

00:32:46She said after rent,

00:32:47utilities,

00:32:48food,

00:32:49and everything else,

00:32:49she barely has anything left from her paycheck.

00:32:52But who really knows?

00:32:53We'll just come back a few more times.

00:32:55She won't be able to say no forever.

00:32:57She's our daughter after all.

00:32:59All right, Mom.

00:33:00Whatever you say.

00:33:01Good.

00:33:02Then we'll come back next time.

00:33:14Granny, they came today.

00:33:16Mom,

00:33:17Dad,

00:33:17Tyler,

00:33:18all of them.

00:33:19They wanted $50,000,

00:33:20and I didn't give them a cent.

00:33:22Now I understand what family trauma really is.

00:33:25You can spend years building a life in the sun,

00:33:28but one word from the people who broke you,

00:33:31and suddenly you're cold all over again.

00:33:40Mrs. Hart!

00:33:47What is it?

00:33:48Mrs. Hart,

00:33:49why are your eyes so red?

00:33:51Were you crying?

00:33:52Oh, it's nothing.

00:33:53I just got something in my eye.

00:33:54No way.

00:33:55Mrs. Hart,

00:33:56you definitely cried.

00:33:57Tell me who upset you.

00:33:58I swear I'll hunt them down

00:34:00and beat them up.

00:34:02All right.

00:34:03Come in and tell me what happened.

00:34:13Mrs. Hart,

00:34:14tell me.

00:34:15Come on,

00:34:16tell me.

00:34:16Who made you cry?

00:34:18Anyone who dares mess with you,

00:34:19I, Grace,

00:34:21will find them,

00:34:22beat them black and blue,

00:34:23and make them kneel and apologize.

00:34:25It was my parents

00:34:26and my brother.

00:34:27Wait,

00:34:28your parents?

00:34:29The ones who barely raised you

00:34:30favored Tyler your whole life

00:34:31and treated you like an afterthought?

00:34:32And that spoiled,

00:34:34golden child brother of yours?

00:34:36Yes.

00:34:37I'm going to find them!

00:34:44Don't.

00:34:44I already said everything I needed to say.

00:34:46But it breaks my heart for you,

00:34:48Miss Hart.

00:34:49No.

00:34:50Avery,

00:34:51my parents died when I was young,

00:34:52so I grew up being passed

00:34:53from one kind person to another.

00:34:55It wasn't easy,

00:34:57but at least I knew kindness existed.

00:34:59I met people who cared.

00:35:00I met you.

00:35:01If you hadn't sponsored me through college,

00:35:03I don't even know where I'd be right now.

00:35:05But you're different.

00:35:06You actually have parents,

00:35:07and yet it's like you don't have any at all.

00:35:10It's all behind me now.

00:35:13I didn't have parents who loved me

00:35:14the way they should have,

00:35:15but look at me.

00:35:16I turned out alright,

00:35:17didn't I?

00:35:20You were clawing your way

00:35:22out of your own family's mud pull.

00:35:24You became who you are

00:35:25because you fought for it.

00:35:28No,

00:35:29not fought.

00:35:31You survived it.

00:35:36Exactly.

00:35:37And the me who fought that hard to survive?

00:35:40I'm really doing okay now.

00:35:42I have my own company.

00:35:43I have a friend like you.

00:35:46I can go wherever I want.

00:35:47Okay?

00:35:48The more you say that,

00:35:49the worse I feel.

00:35:50Do you know that?

00:35:52What scares me most

00:35:54is hearing you say you're fine.

00:35:56It means you've stopped expecting

00:35:58anyone to be good to you.

00:35:59You're just used to carrying everything alone.

00:36:02My grace.

00:36:04When did you get this sentimental?

00:36:07Are you dating someone?

00:36:09Do I know him?

00:36:10Oh my God,

00:36:11I'm being serious.

00:36:13I know.

00:36:14That's why I need you to know

00:36:16I really am okay now.

00:36:17Because someone cares about me now.

00:36:21You do.

00:36:23Fine.

00:36:24Since you said that,

00:36:25I'm going to work even harder for you.

00:36:27I'll help you take on

00:36:28every storm that comes your way.

00:36:34You know what?

00:36:35The best thing I ever did in my life

00:36:37was sponsor you.

00:36:41And the luckiest thing that ever happened to me

00:36:43was being sponsored by you.

00:36:46All right.

00:36:47Business.

00:36:48Why did you come looking for me?

00:36:50Oh, right.

00:36:52Lumicore AI is expanding again,

00:36:55so I came to get your signature on the contracts.

00:36:59But I couldn't find you at Lumicore AI,

00:37:02so I figured you must have come back to the old place.

00:37:04But this house is so old.

00:37:06If you'd let them take it for redevelopment back then,

00:37:09you could have gotten a lot of money.

00:37:10Why didn't you let them tear it down?

00:37:14Because this is the home Granny left me.

00:37:16No amount of money matters more than home.

00:37:20Ugh, get off me!

00:37:23Wait, what's your deal today?

00:37:25Tyler, we've been together forever.

00:37:29When are you actually going to marry me?

00:37:31Before, you said you were busy building your career,

00:37:34so I stayed and fought for it with you.

00:37:36But it's been years,

00:37:37and your career still hasn't gone anywhere.

00:37:39Why don't you just marry me first?

00:37:41Baby, come on.

00:37:44It's not that I don't want to marry you.

00:37:45You know, I already poured

00:37:47almost everything I had

00:37:50into that trendy Boba franchise.

00:37:53and I'm still buried in debt.

00:37:55If we get married now,

00:37:59what are we supposed to live on, air?

00:38:03I don't care.

00:38:04You have to marry me,

00:38:06whether you want to or not.

00:38:08Seriously, why are you in such a rush?

00:38:10You think I want to rush you?

00:38:11Tyler, our baby is coming,

00:38:14and you still won't marry me.

00:38:16Are you really going to make me

00:38:18raise your child alone?

00:38:24Are you serious?

00:38:25You're pregnant?

00:38:26Mm-hmm.

00:38:28You're going to be a dad.

00:38:30Your parents are going to be grandparents.

00:38:34Tessie, you're amazing!

00:38:35I'm going to be a dad!

00:38:38Then when are you going to marry me?

00:38:41Getting married isn't cheap, Tessie.

00:38:43The wedding, the apartment,

00:38:44starting a family,

00:38:45it all costs money.

00:38:46I can't come up with that kind of cash overnight.

00:38:50When you had money,

00:38:52I told you to marry me,

00:38:53and you kept dragging your feet.

00:38:55Great, so now you're broke?

00:38:57No, I was just trying to make more money

00:39:00so I could buy you a big villa.

00:39:02Oh, stop with the sweet talk.

00:39:04Hey, don't you have a sister

00:39:06cleaning at Lumacore AI?

00:39:08Can't she help you out?

00:39:12You know what?

00:39:13You're right.

00:39:15If her brother's getting married,

00:39:17Avery should help pay for it.

00:39:18Baby, get some rest.

00:39:21I'll go talk to Mom and Dad.

00:39:22They'll know how to get the money out of her.

00:39:26I'm heading out.

00:39:27Dad!

00:39:28Mom!

00:39:32Good news.

00:39:33I've got amazing news for you.

00:39:35What good news?

00:39:36Did Avery agree to give us the money?

00:39:38No, that's not it.

00:39:39Tess is pregnant.

00:39:41You're going to be grandparents.

00:39:43You're saying Tessa is pregnant?

00:39:45Yeah.

00:39:48Wait, Mom, Dad, aren't you happy?

00:39:52Happy about what?

00:39:53I'm barely holding up as it is.

00:39:55You blew money

00:39:56and still owe people all over town.

00:39:58How are we supposed to pay for a wedding now?

00:40:01Your father's right.

00:40:03This baby came at the wrong time.

00:40:05Look,

00:40:06Avery's cleaning at a big company, right?

00:40:09Make her hand over all the money

00:40:10she's saved these past six years.

00:40:13That should definitely get us to $75,000.

00:40:17Would she really do that?

00:40:19That's your problem, not mine.

00:40:21You're not seriously going to sit back

00:40:23and let Tessa become a single mom, are you?

00:40:26Enough.

00:40:27I get it.

00:40:28You do nothing but cause trouble all day long.

00:40:31Since you were little,

00:40:32you've never given me a single day of peace.

00:40:36Dad, you only figured that out now?

00:40:38Kind of late, don't you think?

00:40:39Anyway, I'm your son.

00:40:41You're responsible for me.

00:40:43All right, all right.

00:40:43Since things are already like this,

00:40:45we have to find a way to fix it.

00:40:46It's time to contact Avery.

00:40:55Who's talking about me?

00:41:00Hello?

00:41:01Hey, Avery.

00:41:04Have you eaten yet?

00:41:05Mom made your favorite apple pie.

00:41:08Are you at LumaCore AI right now?

00:41:10I can bring it over to you.

00:41:12No need.

00:41:13I don't like apple pie.

00:41:15Oh.

00:41:17Then what do you like now?

00:41:19Tell me, and mom will make it for you.

00:41:21I don't like anything.

00:41:24Besides, even if I did,

00:41:25you probably wouldn't know how to make it.

00:41:27Look at you.

00:41:28Just say it, and mom will learn.

00:41:30I promise I'll make it exactly how you like it.

00:41:33If that's all you called to say, then hang up.

00:41:36Family can't be fixed with one meal.

00:41:37The things I desperately wanted as a kid but never got,

00:41:40I don't want them anymore now that I'm grown.

00:41:42Why are you so stubborn?

00:41:44Fine.

00:41:45If you don't want food from me,

00:41:46then what do you want?

00:41:47Just say it, and mom will give it to you.

00:41:49I don't want anything.

00:41:50I'm hanging up.

00:41:53Hey!

00:41:54Hey!

00:41:56I seriously don't get it.

00:41:57Who did Avery get that personality from?

00:41:59Why is she so damn stubborn?

00:42:01Other kids from poor families turn out just fine.

00:42:04Why does she act like her parents are her sworn enemies?

00:42:06Yes, I kicked her out.

00:42:08But wasn't that to toughen her up?

00:42:10What mother actually wants her own kids suffering out there?

00:42:12And look, didn't it work out?

00:42:14She made it into LumaCore AI.

00:42:18If she won't be reasonable, then forget being nice.

00:42:21Heartblood runs through her veins.

00:42:22If sweet talking doesn't work, we force her hand.

00:42:25Dad, we should have done that from the start.

00:42:26Stop talking nonsense.

00:42:28What are you going to do, drag her home and beat her?

00:42:29She's an adult now, Dennis.

00:42:31You can't handle her like you used to.

00:42:33Just listen to me.

00:42:35Nobody wants to look heartless in front of the whole family.

00:42:38You pretend you're sick.

00:42:40We bring the relatives in.

00:42:42And once the pressure is on, Avery will back down.

00:42:46You sure?

00:42:47I'm sure.

00:42:49I told you.

00:42:50Just listen to me.

00:42:53All right, I'm calling Carol now.

00:43:00Avery, Avery!

00:43:02Something terrible happened.

00:43:04Your dad is sick.

00:43:06He needs money right now.

00:43:07He's lying in the hospital, and he may not make it.

00:43:10Come with me.

00:43:11Carol, what does his illness have to do with me?

00:43:13Avery, I know you're mad.

00:43:16And I know they owe you more than they can ever repay.

00:43:19But he's your dad.

00:43:20Blood still means something.

00:43:22You can't just walk away.

00:43:26Avery, I know you've been hurt.

00:43:28I know you've suffered.

00:43:30But this time, he really is sick.

00:43:33Just come to the hospital and see him.

00:43:35You don't have to help with anything.

00:43:37Just see him, please.

00:43:40Fine, Carol.

00:43:42I'll go with you.

00:43:43But let me make one thing very clear.

00:43:45I'm not giving them a single dollar.

00:43:47And I'm not cleaning up their mess.

00:43:49I'm going only out of respect for you.

00:43:50Yes, yes, of course.

00:43:52Just seeing him is enough.

00:43:53Anything is fine, as long as you go.

00:43:55Let's go.

00:43:56Slow down, Carol.

00:44:00Dennis, maybe we really were wrong.

00:44:02When Avery wanted something, we should have said yes.

00:44:05We were just scared she'd become spoiled and reckless.

00:44:09So we raised her with discipline.

00:44:11But now she thinks we favored her brother.

00:44:15And now that you're lying here sick,

00:44:17she refuses to pay for your care.

00:44:21She won't even come see you once.

00:44:23It's our fault.

00:44:25I guess I'm to blame, too.

00:44:26If I had realized Avery thought our parents loved me more,

00:44:30I would have let them give her all the good stuff.

00:44:32Instead.

00:44:36Wow.

00:44:37How can young people be this heartless?

00:44:39Her own father is sick,

00:44:41and she's just going to ignore him?

00:44:43I know.

00:44:44What kind of daughter refuses to pay for her father's medical care?

00:44:47After everything parents do for their kids?

00:44:50She's unbelievable.

00:45:00Avery, you're finally here.

00:45:02Dad owes you an apology.

00:45:05Your mother and I were wrong to raise you the hard way.

00:45:09Please forgive me, okay?

00:45:14Avery, it's my fault.

00:45:15I was stupid.

00:45:17People told me kids raise the hard way,

00:45:19come responsible,

00:45:20and I believe them.

00:45:22I raised you to be so independent.

00:45:25But somehow we became strangers to you.

00:45:29Raising me the hard way?

00:45:31Mom, that means a kid grows up with fewer nice things.

00:45:35It does not mean you throw your own daughter out of the home.

00:45:39You're right, Avery.

00:45:41I was a terrible father.

00:45:42I deserve this!

00:45:44Dad, stop!

00:45:45You only treated Avery that way

00:45:47because you wanted what was best for her.

00:45:50Without that,

00:45:51do you really think she'd be working for some big company now?

00:45:54Avery, just forgive mom and dad, okay?

00:45:57I'm begging you,

00:46:00as your brother...

00:46:01Avery, I know I was wrong.

00:46:03I really do.

00:46:04But your father,

00:46:06your father is sick now.

00:46:08Could you please give us some money for his treatment?

00:46:11We only need $75,000.

00:46:14Just $75,000!

00:46:17I get it now.

00:46:18This whole performance,

00:46:19calling Carol, dragging me here,

00:46:21it was all for $75,000, wasn't it?

00:46:24Avery, they did want money for the treatment.

00:46:26I won't lie to you.

00:46:27But I understand why you're struggling.

00:46:29I won't push you.

00:46:30This has to be your choice.

00:46:36Carol, what happened between me and the hearts

00:46:38isn't something I can just get over.

00:46:41Not in this lifetime.

00:46:43I came here to look, that's all.

00:46:45Whether he's truly sick or faking it,

00:46:47I won't pay.

00:46:48I won't help.

00:46:49Girl, what is wrong with you?

00:46:51That's your own father.

00:46:53Not caring while he's sick is bad enough.

00:46:55But talking like that,

00:46:56that's beyond heartless.

00:46:58They raised a daughter all these years,

00:47:00and she turned out this cruel,

00:47:01she won't even help her own sick father.

00:47:04A person like that won't end well.

00:47:10Avery, are you really this heartless?

00:47:12Your dad could die and you still don't care?

00:47:16Avery, I know you hate us.

00:47:18I get it.

00:47:19But dad is innocent in this.

00:47:20He really needs this money for treatment.

00:47:23Please help him.

00:47:24If not for us, then for granny.

00:47:26Please?

00:47:28Enough.

00:47:29Avery has suffered enough.

00:47:31Don't push her.

00:47:32I've made peace with it.

00:47:34I don't need treatment.

00:47:37Avery?

00:47:40Carol, I've seen what I came to see.

00:47:41Let's go.

00:47:43Avery!

00:47:44Mom was wrong.

00:47:46I was really wrong.

00:47:47I've never begged anyone in my life,

00:47:50but I'm begging you today.

00:47:52Please, help your father.

00:47:56Avery, dad really needs that $75,000.

00:47:59Please, just save him, okay?

00:48:06I've had enough.

00:48:07The whole world needs to see

00:48:08what kind of daughter you are.

00:48:10Give your dad the money.

00:48:11or I'm uploading this.

00:48:13Exactly.

00:48:13Record it.

00:48:14Let everyone see

00:48:15how cold-blooded she really is.

00:48:17Expose her.

00:48:19Avery,

00:48:20you work at a big company.

00:48:22You can definitely afford $75,000.

00:48:24Just help dad, please.

00:48:32Okay, since you're all so eager to judge me,

00:48:35let's talk about the 18 years I spent being raised with less.

00:48:42Wait, what's going on?

00:48:44Are they hiding something?

00:48:46Ever since I was little,

00:48:48Tyler slept in the biggest, brightest room.

00:48:51I slept on a small bed in the shadowy one.

00:48:54He got new backpacks.

00:48:55I got whatever he threw away.

00:48:57His birthday was celebrated.

00:48:59Mine were every single year.

00:49:03That was because your birthday

00:49:05and your brothers were close together.

00:49:07Celebrating them together saved money.

00:49:10Saved money?

00:49:12Tyler had terrible grades,

00:49:13and I was at the top of my class.

00:49:15I asked you to sign me up

00:49:17for a math competition,

00:49:18and you refused.

00:49:22Was that about saving money, too?

00:49:26I...

00:49:26Okay.

00:49:28Then answer this.

00:49:30One time when I was a kid,

00:49:32I was sick in bed.

00:49:35I told you,

00:49:36Mom, Dad, I feel so bad.

00:49:38Can you stay with me?

00:49:40Do you remember what you said?

00:49:43You said no.

00:49:44You said girls shouldn't be so fragile.

00:49:47Then Tyler got a tiny scratch on his hand,

00:49:49and you immediately took him to the hospital.

00:49:52I was sick at home all night,

00:49:54burning up.

00:49:56Crying.

00:49:59Throwing up.

00:50:00Begging for you.

00:50:03But neither of you even checked on me.

00:50:10That was...

00:50:11When I turned 18,

00:50:12and you split the inheritance,

00:50:15Tyler got almost $1 million.

00:50:17I got a pile of Granny's old clothes,

00:50:19and you threw me out of the home.

00:50:22I was just 18.

00:50:25I had $20,400

00:50:26from every part-time job I worked in high school.

00:50:31I paid $700 for a broken little room,

00:50:34and lived like I had no home,

00:50:36no family.

00:50:38Like a stray.

00:50:40Enough, Avery.

00:50:41Stop talking.

00:50:43Why should I stop, Dad?

00:50:44You never saw me as human.

00:50:47You didn't love me.

00:50:49You looked down on me.

00:50:51You looked down on me.

00:50:52Disposable,

00:50:53like trash on the curb.

00:50:59And you think you deserve to be called my parents?

00:51:07Avery, don't cry anymore.

00:51:09It's all in the past.

00:51:10Your parents were out of line,

00:51:12and I'm not taking their side today.

00:51:14If they say one more thing about you,

00:51:16I'll shut them down myself.

00:51:18You people are unbelievable.

00:51:20You abused her,

00:51:22abandoned her,

00:51:23and now you think she should pay to save you?

00:51:25Dream on.

00:51:27If you don't know how to be parents,

00:51:29then don't be parents.

00:51:31Raising a child isn't like feeding a dog

00:51:34and expecting it to wag its tail.

00:51:36You think she doesn't know

00:51:38whether you treated her well?

00:51:39It wasn't like that.

00:51:42I'm her mother.

00:51:43How could I not love her?

00:51:46We were just...

00:51:47We were just trying to toughen her up.

00:51:51There's so much more to this.

00:51:52I can't explain it all right now.

00:51:56Yeah, I don't believe her.

00:51:58Avery's been making up stories

00:52:00since she was little.

00:52:01I know every dirty little thing

00:52:03about this family.

00:52:04so don't waste your energy scheming.

00:52:06I don't have money.

00:52:07And if I did,

00:52:08I still wouldn't give it to you.

00:52:11Carol, let's go.

00:52:19Dennis, what's wrong?

00:52:21Don't scare me, Dennis!

00:52:27Dad, what's wrong?

00:52:28Dennis, don't scare me!

00:52:30If you leave us,

00:52:31how am I supposed to live?

00:52:32How is this family supposed to survive?

00:52:35Avery, your father really is sick.

00:52:39Even if we did things wrong before,

00:52:40this is life or death.

00:52:42Avery, please save your dad.

00:52:44I'm begging you.

00:52:45I'm begging you.

00:52:45Avery, if anything happens to dad today,

00:52:48I swear I'll never let you get away with it.

00:52:50Avery, if you want to leave,

00:52:51then go.

00:52:52I'll stay here.

00:52:54I'll ask the relatives for money for his treatment.

00:52:57Your dad will be okay.

00:53:00Carol, I'm not leaving.

00:53:02Since dad is sick,

00:53:03I'll call a doctor

00:53:03and have him checked properly.

00:53:09Doctor, my father says he has chest pain.

00:53:11Could you please examine him?

00:53:22The patient is fine.

00:53:24His pulse is steady,

00:53:25his breathing is normal,

00:53:26and I don't see any other issues.

00:53:27Honestly, he doesn't need to be hospitalized.

00:53:29Who admitted him?

00:53:31Mom, don't tell me you paid someone off

00:53:33to get dad admitted.

00:53:34I didn't.

00:53:37I...

00:53:38How could I do something like that?

00:53:40Dennis was in pain before.

00:53:42You're telling me that's nothing?

00:53:44Sounds to me like you're incompetent.

00:53:46What are you talking about?

00:53:47If you don't believe me,

00:53:48I can have the chief physician examine him.

00:53:51But don't question my medical judgment

00:53:53without evidence.

00:53:55If he isn't sick,

00:53:56he shouldn't be taking up a hospital bed.

00:53:58Wow.

00:53:59They really faked an illness

00:54:00just to squeeze money out of her.

00:54:02Sure looks like it.

00:54:05Since they're not sick,

00:54:07but still want to stay in the hospital,

00:54:08let them stay.

00:54:10Carol, I admit it.

00:54:11I messed up.

00:54:12But we owe money.

00:54:14And Tyler's wedding is coming up.

00:54:16Please help us persuade Avery.

00:54:17I'm begging you.

00:54:20Enough.

00:54:21You created this mess,

00:54:22and you should face the consequences.

00:54:25Stop trying to trick Avery out of her money.

00:54:27You've hurt her again and again.

00:54:30Don't push her anymore.

00:54:32I'm sorry.

00:54:38We're your parents.

00:54:43Parents?

00:54:44Then let me ask you this.

00:54:48Did you ever truly care about me

00:54:50in the past 18 years?

00:54:52Of course I cared.

00:54:54I gave birth to you.

00:54:56How could I not care about you?

00:54:58Since I was little,

00:54:59I wore other people's unwanted old clothes.

00:55:03But Tyler?

00:55:04Designer shoes?

00:55:06Brand new clothes?

00:55:08You bought them for him

00:55:09without even blinking?

00:55:14Even if I wasn't good enough to you back then,

00:55:17that doesn't mean you should cut us off.

00:55:19We're still family.

00:55:22Family?

00:55:23Is that what you called it

00:55:24when Tyler got almost a million dollars

00:55:26in a state and I got a bag of old clothes?

00:55:33When you threw me out,

00:55:34I was only 18.

00:55:36I had no one.

00:55:38No safety net.

00:55:40Did you care?

00:55:42Did you even ask if I was okay?

00:55:46Well,

00:55:47we didn't know you were struggling out there.

00:55:50You never told us.

00:55:54Did I not tell you

00:55:55or did you just never care?

00:55:59In your eyes,

00:56:01it was always Tyler.

00:56:03Only Tyler!

00:56:09Avery,

00:56:10Dad understands now.

00:56:12I made mistakes.

00:56:13I favored your brother

00:56:15and caused you pain.

00:56:16I want to compensate.

00:56:19Can we stop talking about cutting the family off?

00:56:24Avery,

00:56:24I know I failed you.

00:56:26From now on,

00:56:27I promise I won't favor Tyler anymore.

00:56:29I'll make it right.

00:56:31Just forgive your mom one time,

00:56:33please.

00:56:36I have to cut ties with this family.

00:56:38All you've ever brought me is pain,

00:56:41not love.

00:56:43I just want to live my own life in peace.

00:56:49No, you can't!

00:56:50You can't cut us off!

00:56:53Avery,

00:56:53heart blood runs through your veins

00:56:55and you can't change that

00:56:56for the rest of your life.

00:56:59I carried you in my body.

00:57:01I gave you life!

00:57:04Blood or not,

00:57:05I can still cut off all contact with you.

00:57:08I can't keep tolerating your harassment

00:57:10over and over again.

00:57:12If a court orders me to pay family support,

00:57:15I'll pay exactly what the court requires.

00:57:18Not one dollar more.

00:57:21If that means you'll finally stop bothering me,

00:57:23it's worth it.

00:57:25What is that tiny amount

00:57:27the court ordered supposed to do?

00:57:28You're doing this on purpose.

00:57:30You just don't want to support us.

00:57:33What can the court possibly order you to pay?

00:57:36A few hundred dollars?

00:57:38How are we supposed to live on that?

00:57:41You're trying to drive us to our deaths!

00:57:44Avery, you're seriously cruel.

00:57:46You're treating us like beggars.

00:57:48I told you the truth.

00:57:51What can a few hundred bucks do

00:57:53if you really want out of this family,

00:57:55then give us two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

00:57:58and we'll leave you alone.

00:58:01Now you're telling me a few hundred dollars isn't enough?

00:58:05Then why didn't you say that

00:58:06when I lived at school in high school

00:58:08and you only gave me a hundred dollars a month?

00:58:11And what about Tyler?

00:58:14You gave him a thousand bucks a month

00:58:16as spending money

00:58:17and you never complained once.

00:58:21but when it came to me

00:58:23suddenly everything was too much.

00:58:26We were both your children.

00:58:28Why did you treat us so differently?

00:58:29Why?

00:58:30Tyler isn't the same as you!

00:58:33Why?

00:58:35Why is he precious in your eyes

00:58:37while I deserve to be mistreated?

00:58:43I've said everything I needed to say.

00:58:48From now on,

00:58:49I, Avery,

00:58:50sever my relationship with the hearts.

00:58:52We are finished.

00:59:00What are we supposed to do now?

00:59:03Avery's cutting ties with us

00:59:04and she's only giving us

00:59:05a few hundred bucks a month

00:59:07for living expenses.

00:59:09Is that enough to pay off our debt?

00:59:11Is that enough to survive?

00:59:13No!

00:59:13I'm going back to ask her for more money.

00:59:16Tyler,

00:59:17don't chase her.

00:59:19Tyler,

00:59:20don't chase her.

00:59:21Mom,

00:59:22what are you doing?

00:59:24Are you seriously feeling sorry for her now?

00:59:26What nonsense are you talking about?

00:59:29Even if you chase her down right now,

00:59:31she still won't give us money.

00:59:35Mom,

00:59:36I get it.

00:59:37You just don't want to help me anymore,

00:59:38do you?

00:59:39You're giving up on me.

00:59:41I'm your own son!

00:59:44Fine,

00:59:44don't help me.

00:59:45I'll walk out right now

00:59:47and let those debt collectors

00:59:48beat me to death.

00:59:49Happy now?

00:59:51Still not saying anything?

00:59:53Fine!

00:59:54I'll go die right now!

00:59:57Maybe we should sell the house.

01:00:01That way we can pay off Tyler's debt

01:00:03and still keep some money to live on.

01:00:10I had the attorney draft

01:00:12the no contact agreement you asked for.

01:00:14Take a look.

01:00:15If everything looks good,

01:00:16you can sign it.

01:00:21It's done.

01:00:24It's done.

01:00:25It's done.

01:00:25Also,

01:00:26your parents put the old family house up for sale

01:00:28to cover Tyler's debts.

01:00:43sold it?

01:00:45For how much?

01:00:47$550,000.

01:00:48At first,

01:00:49the buyer said they planned to tear the house down

01:00:52and your parents refused.

01:00:54Then the buyer added another $35,000

01:00:58and they agreed.

01:01:00They're going to tear it down?

01:01:03Granny lived there for most of her life.

01:01:05All our memories are in that house.

01:01:08It can't be torn down.

01:01:09Yes,

01:01:10they're supposed to sign the contract tomorrow.

01:01:12Grace,

01:01:13I need you to step in

01:01:14and buy that house for me.

01:01:15Pay extra if necessary.

01:01:18Got it.

01:01:21Now that the agreement is finalized,

01:01:24this is a $750,000 cashier's check.

01:01:28Full payment for the house,

01:01:30all at once.

01:01:33Thank God.

01:01:34Now the debt collectors

01:01:36won't be breathing down our necks anymore.

01:01:41Yeah, Mom,

01:01:42this is perfect.

01:01:45It's done.

01:01:54Avery?

01:01:55Why are you here?

01:01:56You said you were done with this family.

01:01:58So what do you want now?

01:02:00You don't belong here anymore.

01:02:01The house has been sold

01:02:03and that money is mine.

01:02:04It has nothing to do with you.

01:02:06Leave.

01:02:07I just heard you were selling the house.

01:02:08So I came to take a look.

01:02:10That's all.

01:02:11There's nothing for you to look at.

01:02:13The house is sold

01:02:14and we have the money.

01:02:15Stay out of our business and go.

01:02:17Since you already know

01:02:19the house has been sold,

01:02:20stop standing here like an eyesoul

01:02:22and leave.

01:02:23We're moving out

01:02:24in a couple of days anyway.

01:02:25This house has nothing to do

01:02:26with you anymore.

01:02:28Where are Granny's things?

01:02:31Are they still here?

01:02:33All that trash was thrown out ages ago.

01:02:35Where did you throw them?

01:02:37Didn't the contract say

01:02:38the layout of the house

01:02:39couldn't be changed?

01:02:43The house has already been sold.

01:02:46It has nothing to do with you.

01:02:48I can throw out whatever I want.

01:02:50Do I need to report to you now?

01:02:52Avery, you've gone too far.

01:02:54How do you know

01:02:54what the contract says?

01:02:56You're talking nonsense.

01:02:57Leave now

01:02:58or I'll call the police.

01:03:01I'm not talking nonsense.

01:03:02I know because I'm the one

01:03:04who bought this house.

01:03:06No way.

01:03:07You clean floors for a living.

01:03:09Where did you get $750,000?

01:03:12You'd never earn that much

01:03:13in a lifetime.

01:03:14There's no way

01:03:15you bought this house.

01:03:16Exactly.

01:03:17Stop lying to us, Avery.

01:03:19Where would you get

01:03:20that much money

01:03:21to buy a house?

01:03:22Quit trying to fool me

01:03:23and mom and dad, okay?

01:03:25You bought this place?

01:03:27How could you possibly

01:03:28have that kind of cash?

01:03:30What kind of dirty business

01:03:31are you involved in?

01:03:32She's not lying.

01:03:34This house was indeed

01:03:36purchased by her.

01:03:37Stop covering for her.

01:03:39Do you think

01:03:40I don't know

01:03:40she works as a cleaner?

01:03:41She sweeps floors

01:03:42for a living.

01:03:43Where would she get

01:03:44$750,000?

01:03:46They must be

01:03:47in this together.

01:03:48It's impossible.

01:03:50She is the CEO

01:03:51of Lumacore AI,

01:03:52the company

01:03:53that's about to go public.

01:03:54Have you really

01:03:55never looked into it?

01:03:57How is that possible?

01:03:59Weren't you working

01:04:00as a cleaner?

01:04:01How did you become

01:04:01someone who runs

01:04:02a company?

01:04:03How did we not

01:04:04know any of this?

01:04:05Avery, why did you

01:04:06lie to our faces?

01:04:07Why did you let us

01:04:08believe you were

01:04:08just cleaning floors?

01:04:10I never lied.

01:04:11You simply never

01:04:12cared enough

01:04:13to know the truth.

01:04:14You didn't care

01:04:15what kind of life

01:04:15I had.

01:04:16From beginning to end,

01:04:17Tyler was the only

01:04:18child you saw.

01:04:22Fine.

01:04:23Whatever you do

01:04:23for a living,

01:04:24this actually works out.

01:04:26The house is saved,

01:04:27we have the money,

01:04:28and now we can

01:04:29pay off Tyler's debts

01:04:30and finally move

01:04:31forward with the wedding.

01:04:33When did I ever say

01:04:34I was giving the house

01:04:35back to you?

01:04:37What, are you planning

01:04:38to kick us out?

01:04:41This house is mine now.

01:04:43I have every right

01:04:44to ask you

01:04:46to move out.

01:04:50Aren't you a CEO now?

01:04:51You're that rich,

01:04:52so why can't you

01:04:53help us?

01:04:54How can you be

01:04:54this cruel?

01:04:56We're your parents.

01:04:58Yeah, Avery,

01:04:59I'm your brother.

01:04:59Please,

01:05:00just help me out.

01:05:02I swear,

01:05:03from now on,

01:05:04I'll treat you right.

01:05:08That's enough.

01:05:09You have no right

01:05:10to ask her for anything.

01:05:13Why do you think

01:05:14my money

01:05:16automatically belongs

01:05:17to you?

01:05:17Because we're

01:05:18your parents.

01:05:19We're family.

01:05:21If you have money,

01:05:22of course you

01:05:22should help us.

01:05:24Family?

01:05:26When you threw me

01:05:27out of the house

01:05:28back then,

01:05:28did it ever cross

01:05:30your mind

01:05:30that I was

01:05:31your daughter?

01:05:32Then we won't

01:05:33play favorites anymore.

01:05:35Your father and I

01:05:35promise we'll treat

01:05:36you and Tyler

01:05:37the same from now on.

01:05:38Stop being angry,

01:05:39okay?

01:05:42Now that everything

01:05:43is falling apart,

01:05:44you finally know

01:05:45how to cry.

01:05:46Too late.

01:05:48I bought this house

01:05:49only to protect

01:05:50Granny's belongings.

01:05:51As for you,

01:05:52you have nothing

01:05:52to do with me.

01:05:54I said we're not

01:05:55moving out!

01:05:56This house is

01:05:57ours to stay in now

01:05:59and nobody's

01:06:00kicking us out.

01:06:02If you refuse to leave,

01:06:03I'll bring people in

01:06:04to remove your things

01:06:05for you.

01:06:06And when I do,

01:06:08don't blame me

01:06:09for being ruthless.

01:06:13Fine.

01:06:15Fine, if you really

01:06:16dare to do this,

01:06:17I'll die right here

01:06:18in front of you today!

01:06:19Do you know

01:06:20how much I suffered

01:06:21just to bring you

01:06:22into this world?

01:06:23I gave birth to you,

01:06:25raised you,

01:06:26and now you're

01:06:26this cold?

01:06:27This cruel?

01:06:28Avery, can you really

01:06:29just stand there

01:06:30and watch your own

01:06:30mother die?

01:06:31Do whatever you want.

01:06:33It has nothing

01:06:33to do with me.

01:06:34I'll say this

01:06:35one last time.

01:06:36Stop harassing me.

01:06:38I want them legally

01:06:39barred from contacting me

01:06:40and I have zero

01:06:41obligation to help

01:06:42any of you.

01:06:43Avery, don't push me

01:06:44too far.

01:06:45I'm warning you,

01:06:46if you won't help me,

01:06:48I'll make your life

01:06:49hell, every single day.

01:06:52Shut your mouth!

01:06:53Let me make this clear.

01:06:54If Miss Hart

01:06:55doesn't want to help you,

01:06:56nobody can force her.

01:06:58Keep causing trouble

01:07:00and we'll call the cops.

01:07:02Then you'll really

01:07:03be screwed.

01:07:04I'll have Granny's

01:07:05things restored

01:07:05exactly the way

01:07:06they were.

01:07:06As for all of you,

01:07:08pack up and get out.

01:07:16Mom,

01:07:17my money's gone.

01:07:18It's over.

01:07:19It's all over.

01:07:21Mom,

01:07:22how am I supposed

01:07:22to get married now,

01:07:23huh?

01:07:24Tyler, you...

01:07:26What are we supposed

01:07:28to do now?

01:07:29The house is gone.

01:07:30The money's gone.

01:07:32How are we supposed

01:07:33to survive after this?

01:07:37Tyler,

01:07:38what have you done?

01:07:45Avery went way too far!

01:07:47She even changed the locks.

01:07:49She's not leaving us

01:07:50any way out!

01:07:52How did we raise

01:07:53such a heartless daughter?

01:07:57She kicked us out.

01:07:59Now we don't even

01:08:00have a place to stay.

01:08:02How are we supposed

01:08:03to live now?

01:08:04This is all

01:08:05Avery's fault!

01:08:06If she just helped us,

01:08:08would we be in this mess?

01:08:10No.

01:08:12She did this on purpose.

01:08:13She wants to watch us suffer.

01:08:17Carol!

01:08:17Thank God you're here!

01:08:20Avery...

01:08:21Avery kicked us out.

01:08:22She bought the house,

01:08:24changed the locks,

01:08:25and now we don't even

01:08:26have a roof over our heads.

01:08:28Aunt Carol!

01:08:29Avery is the CEO

01:08:30of Heart Group.

01:08:31She's loaded.

01:08:32But not only

01:08:33did she refuse

01:08:34to help us,

01:08:35she kicked us out.

01:08:37She won't even

01:08:37let us stay in the house.

01:08:39She doesn't care

01:08:39about family at all!

01:08:46Avery's grown up now.

01:08:48Avery thinks

01:08:48she's too good

01:08:49for us now.

01:08:50She doesn't see us

01:08:50as family anymore.

01:08:51She pushed us

01:08:52into a corner.

01:08:53Now we're gonna

01:08:54end up on the streets!

01:08:57Don't just stand here

01:08:58blaming Avery.

01:08:59Tell me something.

01:09:00Why would she

01:09:01go this far?

01:09:02Are you really saying

01:09:04none of you

01:09:04did anything wrong?

01:09:07Carol!

01:09:09What did we do wrong?

01:09:10Tell me.

01:09:10We just wanted her

01:09:11to help the family

01:09:12a little.

01:09:13Help Tyler

01:09:14pay off some debt.

01:09:15Help with his wedding.

01:09:16But she wouldn't do it.

01:09:18She's just heartless!

01:09:19No, Carol, listen.

01:09:20We know we messed up.

01:09:22We do.

01:09:23But she still

01:09:24didn't have to go

01:09:24this far.

01:09:26That's it?

01:09:27You say you were wrong

01:09:28and suddenly

01:09:29everything's forgiven?

01:09:31Avery's heart

01:09:31didn't turn cold

01:09:32overnight.

01:09:33You hurt her

01:09:34again and again.

01:09:35That's why she's

01:09:35treating you

01:09:36like this now.

01:09:37If you really

01:09:38know you were wrong,

01:09:39then reflect

01:09:40on yourselves.

01:09:41Stop standing here

01:09:42complaining about her.

01:09:45Carol, you're right.

01:09:47We were wrong.

01:09:49We really know

01:09:50we were wrong.

01:09:51From now on,

01:09:52we won't play

01:09:52favorites anymore.

01:09:55Please, put in

01:09:56a good word for us

01:09:56with Avery.

01:09:57She only listens

01:09:58to you now.

01:10:01You were wrong.

01:10:03But we're still family.

01:10:05I can't just watch

01:10:06you end up on the street.

01:10:08Here's what we'll do.

01:10:10In a few days,

01:10:11it'll be Evelyn's

01:10:12memorial anniversary.

01:10:13I'll talk to Avery

01:10:14for you then.

01:10:16Thank you, Carol.

01:10:17Thank you.

01:10:19Don't celebrate yet.

01:10:22I'm helping you

01:10:24because we're family.

01:10:25But if you still

01:10:26refuse to change,

01:10:28I won't clean up

01:10:29your mess ever again.

01:10:34Granny,

01:10:35I came to see you.

01:10:38I saved your house.

01:10:42Everything's still the same.

01:10:44clothes you asked me

01:10:45to keep,

01:10:45I washed them clean.

01:10:47Just like when

01:10:48you were still here.

01:10:50Avery,

01:10:51you're here so early.

01:10:55Mom.

01:10:59Carol,

01:11:00I just wanted to come early

01:11:01and spend some time

01:11:02with Granny.

01:11:03I know.

01:11:04Today is your Granny's

01:11:04memorial day.

01:11:05Your parents,

01:11:06they'll be coming too.

01:11:08If they come,

01:11:09they come.

01:11:10Granny is Granny.

01:11:11They're them.

01:11:14Avery,

01:11:14I know you've been hurt.

01:11:15I really do.

01:11:16But when they get here,

01:11:17don't clash with your father,

01:11:19okay?

01:11:19Just light some candles

01:11:20for your Granny.

01:11:21Have a simple family meal.

01:11:22For Granny's sake,

01:11:23let's just sit down

01:11:24together as a family.

01:11:25I won't start anything

01:11:26with them.

01:11:27Don't worry, Carol.

01:11:28Good.

01:11:28That's good.

01:11:29I'll go pick them up then.

01:11:30You stay here with Granny

01:11:31for a while.

01:11:32And don't be too sad, honey.

01:11:37Avery,

01:11:38eat more.

01:11:39You've gotten so thin lately.

01:11:41Don't just bury yourself

01:11:42in work.

01:11:43Take care of yourself.

01:11:44Thank you, Carol.

01:11:46Avery.

01:11:52Avery,

01:11:52you're the CEO

01:11:53of Heart Group now.

01:11:54You must be making

01:11:54serious money, huh?

01:11:56I do fine.

01:11:57Fine?

01:11:58You barely finished

01:11:59high school?

01:12:00No background,

01:12:01no connections,

01:12:02and somehow you built

01:12:03a company this big?

01:12:04Where'd all that money

01:12:05come from?

01:12:05I earned it myself.

01:12:06Earned it yourself?

01:12:08You left home at 18

01:12:09with, what,

01:12:10$2,400?

01:12:11If you said you barely

01:12:12opened some little store,

01:12:13maybe I'd buy it.

01:12:14But a company this big?

01:12:15Where did the money

01:12:16really come from?

01:12:17Tyler!

01:12:18How much I make

01:12:19or how I make it

01:12:20is none of your business.

01:12:22Or maybe you just

01:12:23can't explain it.

01:12:24Tell me, Avery,

01:12:24did you steal Granny's money?

01:12:26Tyler!

01:12:27What the hell

01:12:28are you talking about?

01:12:29Avery would never

01:12:30steal from your Granny.

01:12:31I'm talking nonsense?

01:12:33Carol, think about it.

01:12:34She left home at 18

01:12:35with only a few thousand dollars?

01:12:37Six years later,

01:12:38she magically becomes

01:12:38the CEO of Lumicore AI?

01:12:40If that money wasn't stolen,

01:12:42then where did it come from?

01:12:44Huh?

01:12:44It had to be dirty!

01:12:49I'm saying it right here,

01:12:50right now.

01:12:51Her money is dirty.

01:12:53Either she stole

01:12:53Granny's retirement savings

01:12:55or she did something

01:12:55shady to get it.

01:12:57Avery is capable.

01:12:58She knows how to work hard.

01:13:00Of course she could make money.

01:13:01Then make her explain it.

01:13:03Make her explain it clearly.

01:13:05Fine.

01:13:06Since you asked,

01:13:07I'll make everything clear

01:13:08in front of everyone.

01:13:09Tyler, you said

01:13:09I stole Granny's money.

01:13:11Then let me ask you this.

01:13:12Where did the startup money

01:13:13for Dad's hardware store

01:13:14come from?

01:13:15Isn't it obvious?

01:13:16Dad earned it himself.

01:13:18He worked day and night,

01:13:19saved every penny

01:13:20and built it from nothing.

01:13:22About $95,000.

01:13:25Back in 2004,

01:13:26Dad wanted to open

01:13:27that hardware store,

01:13:28but he didn't have enough money.

01:13:30so he borrowed

01:13:30about $95,000

01:13:31from Granny.

01:13:33You didn't know that?

01:13:36I knew about it.

01:13:38Mom told me back then.

01:13:39Dad, you borrowed money

01:13:40from Granny

01:13:41to open that store.

01:13:42And over the years,

01:13:43that business kept growing.

01:13:44How many times over

01:13:45did it multiply?

01:13:47I didn't have a choice

01:13:48back then.

01:13:48I needed the money badly.

01:13:50I thought once I had money,

01:13:52I'd pay Mom back.

01:13:53By the time the estate

01:13:54were divided,

01:13:55the store,

01:13:56the house,

01:13:56the cars,

01:13:57and the savings

01:13:58add up to almost

01:13:58a million dollars.

01:14:00And inside that

01:14:01almost million dollars

01:14:02was Granny's

01:14:03original $95,000.

01:14:05Did you ever pay her back?

01:14:11He didn't.

01:14:13Mom told me

01:14:14while she was still alive.

01:14:15My brother never paid her back.

01:14:17Carol,

01:14:17that's not true.

01:14:18Back then,

01:14:19the family had so much

01:14:20going on.

01:14:21We were trying to build a life

01:14:23and we just forgot.

01:14:25You built your life

01:14:25with Granny's money.

01:14:27And after Granny died,

01:14:29you threw her old clothes

01:14:30at your own daughter

01:14:31like they were trash.

01:14:32Do you even know

01:14:33what Granny left

01:14:34inside those clothes?

01:14:39This is Granny's

01:14:40credit union passbook.

01:14:42Starting the year

01:14:43I was born,

01:14:44she used her retirement money

01:14:46to deposit a little

01:14:47every month.

01:14:47She did that for 18

01:14:49straight years.

01:14:50Account holder,

01:14:51Avery Hart.

01:14:53Balance,

01:14:54$82,500.

01:14:56This savings ledger

01:14:57was sewn into

01:14:58the sleeve lining

01:14:59of Granny's

01:14:59old winter coat

01:15:00and you handed it to me

01:15:02like it was garbage.

01:15:0464 East Old Street,

01:15:07450 square feet.

01:15:08Owner,

01:15:09Avery Hart.

01:15:10This is the deed.

01:15:11Granny bought it

01:15:12with money she secretly saved.

01:15:15Granny bought it

01:15:16for $52,000

01:15:17back in 2006.

01:15:18Now it's valued

01:15:19at almost $310,000.

01:15:22She hid this

01:15:23in the vest pocket.

01:15:24No, no,

01:15:24that's not right.

01:15:25Why the hell

01:15:25would Granny

01:15:26buy you a house?

01:15:28I'm not done.

01:15:31There's one last thing.

01:15:38This is Granny's handwritten letter.

01:15:40It was in the pocket

01:15:41of that maroon cardigan.

01:15:44I'll read a few lines

01:15:45so everyone can hear it.

01:15:46Avery,

01:15:48your father is foolish.

01:15:50Your mother is calculating.

01:15:51And when a calculating person

01:15:54marries a foolish one,

01:15:55the one who suffers

01:15:56is you.

01:15:58Your father borrowed

01:15:58about $95,000

01:16:00from me to open his store.

01:16:02I gave it to him.

01:16:03That was the last

01:16:04of my savings.

01:16:05But I kept about

01:16:06$52,000 aside

01:16:08and secretly

01:16:09bought this house.

01:16:11Your father never knew.

01:16:13The deed is in your name.

01:16:14They raised you

01:16:15for 18 years.

01:16:16But for 18 years,

01:16:18they denied you fairness.

01:16:19You don't need to argue

01:16:21that debt with anyone.

01:16:22Just know it in your heart.

01:16:25This is all Granny

01:16:26could give you.

01:16:27I take this.

01:16:28Hold on to it.

01:16:30Live well.

01:16:32Don't let anyone

01:16:33make you small.

01:16:34Granny loves you.

01:16:36Mom!

01:16:41You threw Granny's things

01:16:43at me like they were trash.

01:16:45Granny sewed

01:16:46the most valuable things

01:16:47she had into

01:16:49to the old clothes

01:16:49you looked down on.

01:16:51What you threw away

01:16:52was Granny.

01:16:53And what I picked back up

01:16:55was Granny too.

01:17:00That was left by my mother

01:17:01for the Hart family.

01:17:02It belongs to all of us.

01:17:04You can't just keep it

01:17:05all for yourself.

01:17:08Whose name is on this

01:17:09credit union passbook?

01:17:10Avery Hart.

01:17:12And whose name is on the deed?

01:17:14Avery Hart.

01:17:16Who did Granny

01:17:17write that letter too?

01:17:19Avery Hart.

01:17:20Is your name Avery Hart?

01:17:24That still isn't right.

01:17:26Granny's inheritance

01:17:27should be shared

01:17:27by all her grandchildren.

01:17:29I'm her real grandson.

01:17:31I'm the one carrying

01:17:32the Hart family name.

01:17:33Why the hell

01:17:33don't I get a share?

01:17:35If you think it's unfair,

01:17:37take me to court.

01:17:42This is Granny's

01:17:43notarized will.

01:17:44It was done

01:17:45three years ago.

01:17:46The credit union passbook

01:17:47was already in my name

01:17:48while Granny was alive.

01:17:50The deed was in my name too.

01:17:52This notifies will

01:17:53confirms who legally

01:17:55owns everything.

01:17:59Go ahead and sue me.

01:18:01The court will follow

01:18:02the notarized will.

01:18:04You really think

01:18:05you can win?

01:18:05You knew all along.

01:18:07You kept quiet on purpose.

01:18:09You wanted to sit back

01:18:10and watch us make fools

01:18:11of ourselves, didn't you?

01:18:13Yes.

01:18:14I knew it six years ago.

01:18:16But I didn't hide it on purpose.

01:18:18I just didn't owe you

01:18:19an explanation.

01:18:20Back when the estate

01:18:21were divided,

01:18:22you gave me one bag

01:18:23of old clothes.

01:18:24You never asked

01:18:25if I wanted it.

01:18:26Whatever I found

01:18:27inside those clothes,

01:18:28I had no reason

01:18:28to tell you.

01:18:30Granny left it to me.

01:18:32It had nothing

01:18:32to do with you.

01:18:33Just like that

01:18:34almost a million dollars

01:18:35in estate mom and dad

01:18:37gave you

01:18:37had nothing to do with me.

01:18:39She's not wrong.

01:18:40Avery is right.

01:18:42Back then,

01:18:43when the estate

01:18:43were divided,

01:18:44you two gave

01:18:44everything valuable

01:18:45to Tyler.

01:18:46Avery got nothing.

01:18:48All she took

01:18:48was that one bag

01:18:49of old clothes.

01:18:50Did you conveniently

01:18:51forget that?

01:18:52Carol,

01:18:53that's not what happened.

01:18:54We were swamped

01:18:55with work back then.

01:18:57We just forgot

01:18:58for a moment.

01:18:59I forgot?

01:19:00Something that important?

01:19:01And you forgot?

01:19:03Mom knew you wouldn't

01:19:04leave Avery anything.

01:19:05So she left

01:19:06something herself.

01:19:07She was protecting

01:19:09Avery from you.

01:19:10And you, Tyler.

01:19:11Back then,

01:19:12when the assets

01:19:13were divided,

01:19:13who said,

01:19:14just give her

01:19:14those old rags

01:19:15so she'll stop

01:19:16hanging around?

01:19:17You said that,

01:19:18didn't you?

01:19:19Yeah.

01:19:20Then you were right.

01:19:22She took the clothes.

01:19:24She left.

01:19:25And now that you've

01:19:26blown through

01:19:26almost a million dollars,

01:19:28you're turning around

01:19:29and asking her for money?

01:19:30Where is your shame?

01:19:33I'll say this

01:19:34one last time.

01:19:35Tyler's money,

01:19:36Tyler's debt,

01:19:37Tyler's business,

01:19:38none of it has

01:19:39anything to do with me.

01:19:40As for mom

01:19:41and dad's retirement,

01:19:43I'll contribute my share

01:19:44under my own rules.

01:19:47That is my responsibility

01:19:48as your daughter,

01:19:49but not one dollar more.

01:19:51As for this

01:19:52so-called family account,

01:19:54you never made a deposit

01:19:55for 18 years.

01:19:56The balance is zero,

01:19:58so don't come to me

01:19:59trying to make

01:19:59a withdrawal now.

01:20:01Carol, I'm leaving.

01:20:05If your granny

01:20:06could see you now,

01:20:07she'd be so proud.

01:20:30Avery, after you left that day,

01:20:31that dinner completely fell apart.

01:20:33I expected that.

01:20:35they'd never believe

01:20:36they did anything wrong.

01:20:38And those tears,

01:20:39they weren't real remorse.

01:20:41Your father can't even

01:20:42look the relatives

01:20:43in the eye now.

01:20:44He used to be the loudest one

01:20:46at every family gathering.

01:20:48Now, the second he sees

01:20:50a relative,

01:20:51he turns around and hides.

01:20:54they chose this road themselves.

01:20:57Back then,

01:20:59they favored Tyler

01:21:00and treated me

01:21:01like something

01:21:01they could cash in.

01:21:02Everything happening now,

01:21:04they end it.

01:21:09Your mother spent her whole life

01:21:10trying to look strong.

01:21:12The one thing she can't stand

01:21:13is people saying

01:21:14she's a bad person.

01:21:18And now,

01:21:19every relative

01:21:19in the family knows

01:21:20Granny had been wary

01:21:22of Linda

01:21:23even before she died.

01:21:27Carol,

01:21:27I just don't get it.

01:21:30When Mom was alive,

01:21:31I took care of her

01:21:32the best I could.

01:21:33I cooked for her,

01:21:35washed her clothes,

01:21:36took care of everything.

01:21:38But she secretly

01:21:39saved money for Avery

01:21:40behind my back.

01:21:42Did she look down

01:21:43on me all along?

01:21:45Mom didn't look down

01:21:46on you.

01:21:46She just couldn't stand

01:21:48the way you treated Avery.

01:21:49How did I treat Avery?

01:21:51Was I bad for her?

01:21:52I fed her,

01:21:54clothed her,

01:21:55I didn't even make her

01:21:55do chores.

01:21:58So why does she

01:21:59hate us so much?

01:22:04Linda,

01:22:05raising a child

01:22:06isn't just giving her food.

01:22:08Did you ever truly

01:22:09care about Avery?

01:22:12As for your brother,

01:22:13he's no better.

01:22:14Tessa ended the pregnancy

01:22:16and dumped him.

01:22:17He couldn't accept it.

01:22:19He wanted to make

01:22:20a quick crumb back,

01:22:21so he took out

01:22:22a payday loan

01:22:23with terrifying interest.

01:22:24Now he doesn't

01:22:25even come home.

01:22:29He lost everything.

01:22:35Where's Tyler?

01:22:37Tell him to pay up.

01:22:38Keep dragging this out

01:22:39and we won't be

01:22:40so nice next time.

01:22:41We really don't have

01:22:42the money right now.

01:22:44Please,

01:22:44just give us

01:22:45a little more time.

01:22:47That ungrateful son!

01:22:50How did we raise

01:22:51such a useless,

01:22:52heartless thing?

01:22:55Dennis!

01:22:57Dennis!

01:22:58Are you okay?

01:22:59Your father

01:22:59was rushed

01:22:59to the hospital.

01:23:00The family

01:23:01couldn't even

01:23:02scrape together

01:23:02enough for the

01:23:03hospital bills.

01:23:04I ended up

01:23:04covering part of it.

01:23:06Your mother

01:23:07stays at the

01:23:07hospital every day

01:23:08now.

01:23:08And Tyler,

01:23:09no one can

01:23:10even find him.

01:23:12Carol,

01:23:13these are the

01:23:13consequences

01:23:13they deserve.

01:23:15I won't go soft

01:23:17and I won't let

01:23:17them drag me

01:23:18back down again.

01:23:21their case.

01:23:23them.

01:23:26I don't hate

01:23:28don't?
