01:01The man who runs Howard Group, America's youngest billionaire, and a regular at the NASDAQ opening bell.
01:08Too bad he had the same name as the guy I grew up fighting with.
01:12So every time I heard Lucas, I wanted to gag.
01:16Dad's here!
01:18Let's see who this scam ring's boss really is.
01:21First the legs, then the broad shoulders, narrow waist.
01:25Scam aside, this guy's built.
01:27Then I saw his face.
01:29Oh my god.
01:31He doesn't just share my Arcetade's name.
01:33He is Lucas.
01:37Sorry about this.
01:38They're my wife and son.
01:40Wife?
01:40Son?
01:42Sir, I'm only 18.
01:43Ivy, we've known each other 26 years.
01:45What are you pulling now?
01:472026?
01:49I'd lost Aiton Hill years.
01:52I still thought I was 18, but I was married to my worst enemy with a four-and-a-half
01:56-year-old son.
01:58So what the hell happened to the eight years I lost?
02:01Eight years ago, Lucas was just a gamer idiot who lived to get on my nerves.
02:05I was sure he'd grow up to be a loser.
02:08And now, eight years later, that loser is a billionaire.
02:11Turns out I'm the clown.
02:13We're going home.
02:14A billionaire husband, an adorable son.
02:17In ten minutes, I went from a college kid stressing about morning class to basically winning at life.
02:23Next time you go cheat on me, could you leave our son out of it?
02:26Wait, I cheated on him?
02:29Sweetie, did mommy scare you?
02:31Daddy, mommy smiled at me.
02:33I'm scared.
02:34He was really scared of me.
02:36What had I done to him?
02:40Welcome home, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, Ollie.
02:43A house this big and a $40 million Monet on the wall?
02:47The kid who never put down his game console was really a billionaire?
02:51Not bad.
02:52Used to do nothing but play video games and now look at you.
02:55How long are you going to keep this up?
02:57If I told you I lost my memory and only remember everything up to 18, would you believe me?
03:01You'll make up any excuse to get a divorce.
03:04In less than half a day, I found out I cheated.
03:07And apparently I also tried to force my billionaire husband to divorce me for another man.
03:12We'd spent our whole lives trying to get one over on each other.
03:16How did we end up married?
03:17Is this marriage really that much of a joke to you?
03:21I'm not laughing at that.
03:23My last memory is you swapping my study notes for pig farming for beginner and me falling into a pit
03:29chasing you.
03:30I told him my last memory.
03:32I said I didn't even know who this so-called other man was.
03:36I even promised that if this marriage really couldn't work, we could divorce peacefully.
03:41I didn't realize those two words, peaceful divorce, hit him right where it hurt most.
03:46You wanted to marry me, so I married you.
03:49Now you want to divorce, and I'm supposed to just let you go?
03:52That was when I finally realized it.
03:54I was the one who started this marriage.
03:56Dad, Mom, please don't divorce, okay?
04:00If you two get divorced, I'm never eating steak again.
04:03You've still got sauce on your face, okay?
04:05I promise we're not getting divorced right now.
04:09Right now.
04:10Don't make promises you won't keep.
04:12The same promise made Ollie light up and made Lucas doubt me even more.
04:16I'd promised to stay before, then let them down again and again.
04:20That night, I washed off the makeup and picked out clothes I actually liked.
04:24I was still 26, but I finally felt a little more like myself.
04:30Mom, you look so pretty today.
04:32Don't be scared.
04:33I just want to straighten your clothes.
04:35All I had to do was raise my hand, and he flinched.
04:39Dad, Mom really is different today.
04:41I like her better now.
04:45Henry, look into everyone Ivy's been in contact with lately.
04:47What I didn't know was that even as Ollie started trusting me,
04:50Lucas still believed this amnesia was hiding something else.
04:54Has Lucas been this busy lately?
04:56A week ago, you deleted every work file on Mr. Howard's computer from Mr. Black.
05:01That was over a month of work from Lucas and his whole team.
05:04I wasn't just trying to leave him.
05:05I was helping another man destroy his career.
05:09Who is Mr. Black?
05:10You're pinned contact on WhatsApp.
05:12This wasn't some mutual affair.
05:13I was the one chasing Kane, and the last location I sent him was the same street where I woke
05:19up.
05:20What the hell?
05:21Kane Black?
05:22He was just some classmate my family used to support.
05:25How did I end up betraying my husband and hurting my son for him?
05:29I threw away a billionaire husband for a guy my family supported?
05:33That's not me.
05:34I need to ask my parents what happened to me over those eight years.
05:37Before I turned 18, my parents ran an international trading company.
05:42We weren't as rich as Lucas is now, but I never wanted for anything.
05:46Eight years later, I thought their business would be bigger than ever.
05:49Instead of some mansion in Manhattan, we pulled up to an old apartment building in Queens.
05:55No staff, no garden, not even an elevator.
05:59That's when I realized the last eight years hadn't just changed my marriage.
06:06Dad!
06:07Eight years ago, one little scrape and Dad would badger the doctor for half an hour.
06:11Now he looked at me like I was one huge unpaid debt.
06:15Up close, I finally saw it.
06:18Dad's hair was almost white, and Mom had gotten so thin.
06:21In eight years, life had taken 20 from them.
06:25Are you sick?
06:26What happened to the company?
06:28And our old house?
06:29The company went bankrupt.
06:31Who did this?
06:32You.
06:33Dad covered the cash.
06:35Mom put away the deed.
06:36They thought I'd come for more money for Cain.
06:38We don't have any property left to borrow against.
06:41Our retirement accounts barely cover our living expenses.
06:45If you're here to get money for Cain again, go lie to someone else.
06:48That's when I finally understood.
06:50I emptied my family's savings for Cain and drove us into bankruptcy.
06:54I didn't just hurt Lucas and Ollie.
06:56I dragged my parents down too.
06:58But one person never gave up on me.
07:02Is that really me and Lucas?
07:04Lucas and I used to fight every time we saw each other.
07:07At 18, I couldn't even imagine choosing him.
07:09But mom said that after college, we got married.
07:14Ollie's only a few months old.
07:16It's for you.
07:17I'll take care of Ollie.
07:19You keep dancing.
07:21Lucas knew my dream was to be a professional ballerina.
07:24After Ollie was born, he even cut back at work.
07:27So I really did love him.
07:29And he really put me in Ollie first.
07:32It's all yours.
07:33You're gonna make it.
07:34But not long after Ollie was born,
07:37I gave up ballet,
07:38pushed Lucas away,
07:40company shares,
07:41and my sports car to start his business.
07:43The old me didn't just wreck my parents' lives.
07:46I took everything Lucas gave me
07:48and used it on another man.
07:49Lucas bought this apartment too.
07:51He even wanted to buy back our old house.
07:54I never thought the one cleaning up my mess
07:56after I ruined my parents' lives
07:57would be the husband I betrayed.
07:59I really don't remember any of it.
08:01You really only remember what happened
08:03before you turned 18?
08:05Of course.
08:06If Cain showed up right now,
08:08then kick him out with these ballet legs.
08:11Wait.
08:11Did I already get into New York City ballet?
08:14You don't dance anymore.
08:16Ballet has been my dream since I was four.
08:18I might leave the stage because of an injury,
08:20but for a man, never.
08:22It wasn't just ballet.
08:23The way you dressed, what you ate.
08:26Betraying your husband?
08:27Maybe you fell for someone else.
08:28Blowing the family fortune?
08:30Maybe you lost your mind?
08:32But how does someone change their habits,
08:34tastes, and personality that completely that fast?
08:37None of those choices sounded like me.
08:39I needed to find out what Cain had done to me.
08:42What I didn't know then
08:43was that Lucas had started to wonder
08:45if my amnesia was real.
08:48The old me would have never been so gentle with Ollie
08:50or gone back to see my parents on my own.
08:53But just as Lucas was starting to believe me,
08:56he found out the old me had already booked a ticket to Paris
08:59on the same flight as Cain.
09:01I almost believed her again.
09:03My parents were just starting to trust me again.
09:06Mom even called Lucas and invited him over for dinner.
09:09She's flying to Paris tonight.
09:11Cain's on the same flight.
09:12Don't trust her anymore.
09:17Tomorrow night's performance in Paris will be my last.
09:20Anna Rossi was the ballerina I idolized growing up.
09:23I always swear that as long as she was still on Ray,
09:26I'd see her perform at least once.
09:27I'd already booked a flight for tonight.
09:29If I left now, I could still make her farewell performance.
09:32Where are you going?
09:33Paris. It's important.
09:34She's still lying to us.
09:35My head was full of my idol's farewell performance.
09:38I had no idea that ticket was never really about ballet.
09:42Cain was already heading to the airport.
09:44He still thought I was following him to Paris,
09:46just like before.
09:49Before I left for the airport,
09:51I came back to the estate for my passport and bag.
09:53I didn't realize that to Ollie,
09:55it looked just like every other time I left.
09:58Mommy, are you leaving us again?
10:02I'm just going to Paris to see a show.
10:04I'll be back soon.
10:05You said that before.
10:07He couldn't even trust me to come back anymore.
10:09Can I go with you?
10:11Never mind.
10:12You don't like Dad.
10:13And I'm his kid, so you don't like me either.
10:17I didn't remember any of it,
10:19but he did.
10:21I wasn't a good mom to you.
10:23That wasn't your fault.
10:24From now on, you can hug me whenever you want.
10:27Okay?
10:28You're coming to Paris with me.
10:30Let's ask Martha to get your passport, okay?
10:33Yay!
10:33Then, Mommy,
10:34do you think you could like Dad again someday?
10:38How did this kid get so good at catching me off guard?
10:42Just like his dad.
10:48Mrs. Howard took Ollie's passport.
10:50They've already left for the airport.
10:52Lucas knew Kane and I were on the same flight.
10:54Then he found out I'd taken Ollie.
10:57Just like that,
10:58all his anger turned into fear of losing his son.
11:01She can go wherever she wants,
11:02but she's not taking Ollie.
11:04Get flight clearance.
11:06I'm going to Paris now.
11:09He was supposed to fly to Paris the next day
11:11to close the Grand Paris Hotel acquisition.
11:16Instead, he couldn't wait a few more hours.
11:18He just wanted his son back
11:19before I disappeared with Ollie for good.
11:21When we land, find Ollie first.
11:24What about Ivy?
11:25Who she wants to be with is her choice.
11:27I was going to Paris for a show.
11:31He thought I was taking Ollie and leaving him.
11:33Welcome to the Grand Paris Hotel.
11:35Here's your key card.
11:43I was waiting for Ollie when Kane found me.
11:46So you really chased me all the way to Paris?
11:49Nice for touching.
11:50I didn't recognize you.
11:53You were begging to see me on WhatsApp.
11:55Now you're pretending you don't know me.
11:56You'll do anything for my attention.
11:58He really thought I'd cross the Atlantic
11:59just to chase him.
12:00Worst part?
12:01The old me probably gave him reason to think that.
12:04I came to Paris for the ballet.
12:06I'm not interested in you.
12:09The Carter family tossed me a few scholarships
12:11to make yourselves look generous
12:13and now you want to humiliate me in public?
12:16If you hated Carter money so much,
12:18why didn't you refuse it?
12:20You begged me to take that money, Ivy.
12:22You were so crazy in love with me,
12:23you lost your mind.
12:24So what right do you have to question me now?
12:29But I'm generous.
12:32Apologize.
12:33Promise you'll behave from now on.
12:35And I might let you stay with me.
12:39When Lucas arrived,
12:40he thought I'd already chosen Kane.
12:50You slapped me?
12:52That slap wasn't just for what he said.
12:56I own 2% of this hotel.
12:58Once the acquisition closes today,
13:00it'll be worth even more.
13:01By then,
13:02even if you beg on your knees,
13:03I still might not see you.
13:05Kane got this far on Carter money
13:07and now he's showing off that tiny stake.
13:10Too bad.
13:10He has no idea what's coming.
13:13Remember this?
13:14You begged me to take it last month.
13:16Don't give me trash like this again.
13:18It'll stain my clothes.
13:19What I throw away,
13:20someone else treats like treasure.
13:22You've got it backwards.
13:24I took out the trash today.
13:25That's how I finally saw
13:26who's actually worth Go Quiet.
13:28I didn't know maybe because
13:29I'd never chosen him
13:30in front of anyone before.
13:31Not like this.
13:32Once the acquisition closes,
13:34your 2% will be bought back
13:36at the original price.
13:37Says who?
13:38Me.
13:39I'm the buyer.
13:40My hotel doesn't welcome anyone
13:42who harasses my wife.
13:43Dad, weren't you getting to Paris tomorrow?
13:47Move the trip up.
13:49Mr. Howard,
13:50the VIP tickets you asked for
13:51to Anna Rossi's farewell performance.
13:53He said he was only here
13:54to buy the hotel,
13:55but he'd already gotten
13:56the three tickets I wanted most.
13:58He could lie with words,
14:00not with this.
14:01So you really only remember
14:03what happened before you were 18?
14:05It was the first time
14:06he didn't just assume I was lying.
14:10To see if I'd really lost my memory,
14:12Lucas tested me.
14:14My locker combo,
14:15our prom theme,
14:16even the date he swapped my notes
14:18with intro to pig evening.
14:20I got everyone right.
14:22When we get back,
14:23you're going to the hospital.
14:25We need to find out
14:26what's really going on.
14:27He didn't say he believed me,
14:29but for a man I'd lied to
14:30over and over,
14:31just looking for another answer
14:33was already a step toward me.
14:35Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?
14:38Of course you can.
14:40Just hearing I'd stay
14:41made him light up like
14:42I'd given him the best gift
14:43in the world.
14:45That's when I realized
14:46all he really wanted
14:47was a mom who wouldn't leave.
14:51Mom, don't go.
14:53I'll be good.
14:55It's okay, baby.
14:56Mommy's right here.
14:57How'd you know that
14:58would calm him down?
15:00He used to have nightmares, too.
15:02My 18-year-old memories
15:03told me how to comfort Lucas,
15:05but not why my own son
15:06kept apologizing in his sleep.
15:08Then Lucas told me
15:09Ollie had been so starved
15:11for security,
15:12he'd even scratched himself
15:13just to make me look at him.
15:15Where was I?
15:17Cain caught a cold.
15:18You flew out to bring him medicine.
15:20My son was hurting himself
15:21just to get my attention,
15:22and I was flying across the country
15:24for another man.
15:25That wasn't my choice now,
15:27but Ollie's scars were still real.
15:29The bed's big enough.
15:30You can sleep here, too.
15:31Just for Ollie.
15:33Don't get any ideas.
15:34That night,
15:34Ollie slept between us,
15:35one hand holding mine,
15:37the other holding Lucas's.
15:38Maybe for the first time in his life,
15:40he had both his mom and dad
15:41beside him.
15:43I thought sharing a bed with Lucas
15:45would be awkward,
15:46but I barely noticed.
15:47He somehow got even hotter
15:48after 18.
15:50Why are you staring at me?
15:52Wow.
15:53You grew up hot and nice.
15:55Tell you what,
15:56we'll sell the cuff clings later,
15:57and I'll split the money with you.
15:59I gave you the money
16:00for those cuff clings.
16:01Great.
16:02I used my husband's money
16:03to buy my crush a gift,
16:04and now I'm offering him
16:05half the dirty money.
16:0626-year-old Ivy
16:07is somehow worse
16:08than 18-year-old Ivy.
16:09Anna's farewell performance
16:10went on as planned.
16:11Watching her dance up there,
16:13I couldn't help mourning
16:14the career I'd already lost.
16:18If I start over now,
16:19is it too late?
16:22If you're done dancing,
16:23we'll turn the dance studio
16:24into a media room
16:25when we get back.
16:27We still have a dance studio?
16:29Don't you dare.
16:30Starting today,
16:31my life is about three things.
16:32Eating, sleeping,
16:33and getting back on strays.
16:35I thought Lucas was just baiting me.
16:37Then he hung back
16:38and called Martha
16:39to redo the dance studio.
16:41That's when I knew
16:42he'd never given up on my dream.
16:46Before we left Paris,
16:47I bought Ollie some clothes
16:48that actually fit a four-year-old.
16:50I missed so much of him growing up.
16:52At 18,
16:53I did not expect kids' clothes
16:55to cost this much.
16:58Why'd you send me so much money?
16:59We sold study guides together
17:01in high school.
17:02Call it your cut.
17:04I did the math.
17:05Unless those study guides
17:06belonged in a museum,
17:07there was no way
17:08they made that kind of money.
17:10But if a billionaire
17:11wants to call it profit,
17:13who am I to argue?
17:14Next time,
17:15be subtler.
17:16For now,
17:16we'll take everything he tried on.
17:19Back in New York,
17:20I realized it wasn't just Kane.
17:22I let everyone around me
17:23use me like an ATM.
17:26Your feet are ruined from dancing.
17:29Don't wear ballet shoes
17:30in front of me again.
17:31I realized I gave up ballet
17:33after all those years
17:34just because Kane hated my feet.
17:37Someone who loves me
17:38wouldn't make me hate my own body,
17:40let alone push me
17:41to give up my dream.
17:42The old me could hand
17:44millions of dollars to strangers,
17:45but I couldn't even leave
17:47my parents a home.
17:48Lucas' money was still there.
17:50I decided to use what was left
17:52to make it right
17:53with the people
17:54who deserved it most.
17:57Mom, Dad, welcome home.
17:59This house is ours now.
18:01Why are you back?
18:02I wanted to surprise my parents,
18:04but the people
18:05who grabbed this place back then
18:06were two distant relatives.
18:08They never finished paying for it,
18:09and now they plan to keep it.
18:13Good thing I came prepared.
18:15They only paid part of the down payment,
18:17and they still owe the rest.
18:19Under the contract,
18:20we can take the house back
18:21and go after them for breach.
18:23If this goes to court,
18:25the damages could exceed
18:26what the house is worth now.
18:27The second they heard
18:28about damages,
18:29they started playing
18:30the family card.
18:31I told them when they
18:32threw my parents out,
18:33family didn't matter then.
18:34It's too late now.
18:36I can't give them back
18:37the eight years I ruined,
18:38but I can give them
18:39this home back.
18:40Stay for dinner tonight.
18:42I'll make your favorite
18:43mushroom soup
18:44and pack some for Lucas too.
18:45Lucas.
18:46The way Dad said Lucas' name
18:48told me everything.
18:49He was there for me then,
18:51and he's still here for us now.
18:54Dad saved you some soup.
18:55Don't drink too much tonight.
18:57The streetlights are out,
18:58so tell Henry to drive slowly.
19:01I didn't know then,
19:03but that tiny bit of concern
19:04was enough to make him
19:05leave dinner early.
19:07I'd spent years not caring
19:08when he came home.
19:10I was so lost in dancing.
19:12I never noticed him at the door.
19:14That night,
19:15Lucas saw the real me again.
19:17No heavy makeup,
19:18no lies.
19:20Oh, God.
19:22Didn't you say
19:23you'd be back later?
19:25You don't want me back?
19:26Lucas came back
19:27with ballet shoes
19:28Anna designed herself,
19:29never sold publicly,
19:30and a card she wrote
19:31just for me.
19:32For Ivy.
19:33I hope one day
19:34you'll become the next me.
19:35My idol's ballet shoes!
19:37Wait, how did you get these?
19:38You didn't steal
19:38Anna's shoes, did you?
19:39She brought them herself.
19:41For those shoes,
19:42Lucas got Anna
19:42to turn back
19:43after she'd already
19:44left Paris.
19:45But he said nothing.
19:47He just told me
19:47to try them on.
19:49But when I saw
19:50the red marks on my feet,
19:51I heard Cain's
19:52disgusted voice again.
19:54You don't think
19:54they're ugly?
19:55These marks are from
19:56all the years
19:57you fought for this.
19:58Why would they be ugly?
19:59One disgusted comment
20:00from Cain
20:01made me give up my dream.
20:02Lucas held the feet
20:03I'd been hiding
20:04and told me
20:05every scar
20:06deserved respect.
20:09I haven't danced
20:10in a while.
20:11My feet gave out.
20:12Then don't push it.
20:14No.
20:14No.
20:18Take it slow.
20:19Your talent's
20:20not going anywhere.
20:21That was when
20:22I realized
20:22rivals didn't explain
20:23what I felt
20:24around Lucas anymore.
20:25But admitting
20:25I liked him
20:26felt even crazier
20:27than admitting
20:27I'd time-traveled.
20:28Dad, I need
20:29to go to the bathroom.
20:30I buried my burning face
20:32and told myself
20:32it wasn't a crush.
20:34He was just too close.
20:35That's all.
20:37The next day,
20:38there was a stranger
20:39in the house.
20:40Cecilia Shaw,
20:41Ollie's child psychologist
20:42for the past two years.
20:43And watching her
20:44with Lucas and Ollie,
20:45I felt like the outsider.
20:47Hi, I'm Ollie's mom.
20:49I know.
20:50We've met before.
20:51Come on.
20:51Let's go wash your hands.
20:53Ollie's trauma is severe.
20:54If you can't give him
20:55stable love,
20:56stay away from him.
20:57Don't hurt him again.
20:59She sounded gentle,
21:00but every word
21:01hit my guilt.
21:02I had no right
21:03to expect Ollie
21:03to accept me overnight.
21:05But no one gets
21:06to use his pain
21:07to push me away.
21:08But the woman
21:09and childhood
21:10in this picture
21:10look happy.
21:11You don't actually
21:12think that's you,
21:13do you?
21:13That's me.
21:14In Ollie's heart,
21:15I've been the one
21:16in your place.
21:17A chill ran down
21:18my spine.
21:19I had no right
21:20to be jealous.
21:21But seeing another woman
21:22in my place
21:23made the threat real
21:24for the first time.
21:26If you really care
21:27about Ollie,
21:28stay away from him.
21:29I'll answer for what I did.
21:30But I'm not handing
21:31my son over
21:32to a child psychologist
21:34who's trying
21:34to come between us.
21:36These pictures
21:37will remind me
21:38what I owe him.
21:39And you don't get
21:40to use your profession
21:41to interfere
21:41with my family again.
21:43Mr. Howard,
21:44I'm just worried
21:45about Ollie.
21:46I never expected
21:47Mrs. Howard
21:47to treat me like this.
21:50I didn't realize
21:51this is how you act
21:51when I'm not around.
21:53I thought he was
21:54blaming me.
21:55Cecilia had been there
21:55for Ollie for so long
21:57and all I'd given them
21:58was disappointment.
21:59I never saw this coming.
22:01I heard every word
22:02you just said.
22:03Whatever Ivy did before,
22:05she's still Ollie's mother
22:05and my wife.
22:07You don't get to tell her
22:08to leave her own child.
22:10I thought Lucas would
22:11judge me like everyone else.
22:13But he didn't ask me
22:14to prove anything.
22:15He just stood by me.
22:17I was only speaking
22:18professionally.
22:18Turning a child
22:19against his mother
22:19is not treatment.
22:20Leave.
22:23You actually believe me?
22:25At our wedding,
22:26I promised I'd stand by you
22:27no matter what.
22:28I didn't forget.
22:30You did.
22:31That's when I realized
22:32this wasn't new.
22:33No matter how badly
22:34I'd hurt him,
22:35he still hadn't let go
22:36of that promise.
22:38I wanted to understand
22:40why Ollie drew
22:40another woman
22:41as his mom
22:42so I could fix
22:43what I'd done.
22:44But what he told me
22:45was not the answer
22:46I expected.
22:48Even if you drew Celia
22:49as your mom,
22:50I wouldn't be upset.
22:51I know I wasn't there
22:53for you before.
22:54But I drew you.
22:55I always dream about
22:56a mom who smiles
22:57and hugs me.
22:58You weren't like that
22:59before,
23:00but I always felt
23:01my real mom
23:02should be like
23:02the one in my picture.
23:04And now she's
23:05finally back.
23:06He never stopped
23:07loving me
23:08for what I'd done.
23:09Even when I let him
23:10down most,
23:11he was still waiting
23:12for his real mom
23:13to come back.
23:14But be careful
23:15of Celia.
23:16I think she wants
23:17to be dad's wife.
23:18You picked up
23:19on that too?
23:20End all of
23:20Celia's treatment
23:21with Ollie.
23:22Starting today,
23:23she doesn't go
23:24near my family.
23:25For the first time,
23:26right in front of me,
23:28Lucas included me
23:29in our family again.
23:31Dad used to rush in
23:33when I was in the bathroom.
23:34I didn't want him
23:35bothering you too.
23:36Ollie told me
23:37he used to get
23:38stomach aches a lot,
23:39so Lucas stayed outside
23:40because he was worried.
23:41Turns out this man
23:42isn't just rich and handsome.
23:44He's actually
23:45a pretty decent dad.
23:46Even if we lost everything,
23:48your dad still
23:48wouldn't leave us.
23:49At worst,
23:50he'd go do manual labor.
23:52Could dad do that?
23:55He doesn't look like
23:56he's ever done manual labor,
23:57so yeah,
23:58your dad probably couldn't.
24:02Dad, eat more.
24:03You need your strength.
24:05Why?
24:06Mom said you can't.
24:08I think that's why
24:08she doesn't like you.
24:10I only meant
24:11he wasn't built
24:11for manual labor.
24:13Ollie somehow turned that
24:14into a direct hit
24:15to a grown man's
24:15most fragile pride.
24:18Why'd everyone leave?
24:20Did you sleep well
24:21last night?
24:22Of course.
24:23I even dreamed about
24:24the first time
24:24we slept together.
24:25I had no idea
24:26that to a grown man
24:27that sentence
24:28meant something else entirely.
24:29I didn't realize it then,
24:31but when I said
24:32the first time
24:33we slept together,
24:34Lucas thought I meant
24:35our wedding night.
24:37Then you already know
24:38if I'm any good.
24:40Oh, I know.
24:42You were too scared
24:43of a caterpillar
24:44to sleep in your own tent,
24:45so you climbed in
24:46next to me.
24:48I'm sleeping here tonight.
24:50Why?
24:52Seriously?
24:52Over this?
24:53He was thinking
24:54about our wedding night,
24:55I was dreaming about
24:56some bug-scared
24:5718-year-old version of him.
24:59No wonder he looked
25:00like I'd just betrayed him.
25:01We're going to the hospital.
25:04Because I said
25:05you were scared
25:05of a caterpillar?
25:06Because no normal person
25:08confuses a camping trip
25:09from eight years ago
25:10with our first night together.
25:12Jokes aside,
25:13I wanted answers too.
25:15Why were those
25:16eight years missing?
25:17And why had I
25:18suddenly become
25:18someone else?
25:21There's no sign
25:22of head trauma
25:23or any structural damage
25:24to her brain.
25:25then why could she
25:26only remember things
25:26from before she was 18?
25:28This isn't ordinary amnesia.
25:30That was when Lucas
25:31first realized
25:32my sudden change
25:33and my return to myself
25:35might have been
25:36someone's doing.
25:39To figure out
25:40what happened
25:40to those missing
25:41eight years,
25:41Lucas brought in
25:42New York's top
25:43neurology specialist.
25:45Then he walked in
25:46and I realized it was Ryan
25:48and I realized it was Ryan,
25:48our most useless
25:49old classmate.
25:51Didn't you used to
25:51flunk exams?
25:53Exactly.
25:54That's how I ended up
25:55with patients like you.
25:56If he weren't my doctor,
25:57I would have punched him already.
25:59This doesn't look like
26:00traumatic amnesia.
26:01It looks more like
26:02part of her consciousness
26:03was tampered with
26:04over a long period
26:05then suddenly cut off
26:07after the fall.
26:08It was just a theory
26:10with no proof
26:10but the timing matched
26:12my personality change
26:13exactly.
26:14If someone really
26:15controlled me
26:15for those eight years,
26:17they didn't just
26:17steal my memories.
26:18They used my body
26:20to hurt everyone
26:20who loved me.
26:25Or maybe she just
26:26has a hysteretic personality.
26:27She's using her
26:2818-year-old memories
26:29to get sympathy
26:30so you'll forgive
26:31everything she's done.
26:32Cecilia worked at this
26:33hospital's
26:33Children's Mental Health Center.
26:35Passing by the exam room,
26:37she happened to hear
26:37Ryan's assessment.
26:39My wife's condition
26:40is for the neurologist
26:41to assess.
26:42Stay out of it.
26:43What if she's lying to you?
26:44Then let her lie to me
26:46for the rest of my life.
26:48Lucas's words
26:49threw Cecilia off
26:50and shook me too.
26:52Did he really mean it?
26:54Would he really let me
26:55deceive him for life?
26:57The exam's over.
26:59Let's go pick up Ollie.
27:00You remember
27:01what you promised him, right?
27:02Of course.
27:03What I didn't know
27:04was that Cecilia
27:05had already gone
27:06to Ollie's preschool.
27:08She knew exactly
27:09where to strike.
27:10If she wanted me
27:11to lose this family again,
27:13Lucas wasn't the easiest
27:14one to shake.
27:15Ollie was.
27:17I promised Ollie
27:18I'd pick him up myself.
27:19But my exam ran late,
27:21and by the time
27:21I got there,
27:22Cecilia was already
27:23with him.
27:25Stop waiting.
27:26Your mom's made
27:26that promise before.
27:28When has she ever
27:28actually showed up?
27:30even Benson
27:31was making fun of him,
27:32saying maybe he
27:33didn't even have a mom.
27:34But Ollie stayed there,
27:35eyes red,
27:36telling everyone
27:37I'd promised.
27:38I wasn't going
27:39to let him down again.
27:41Who says I wouldn't?
27:43The second he ran
27:44into my arms,
27:44I got it.
27:45For most kids,
27:47showing up is nothing.
27:48For Ollie,
27:49it meant his mom
27:50loved him.
27:52He said I don't
27:53have a mom.
27:54Then he doesn't
27:55get dessert today.
27:56She said you
27:57weren't coming too.
27:59You're not Ollie's
28:00doctor anymore,
28:01and you're still
28:01telling a four-year-old
28:02his mother doesn't
28:03love him?
28:04I just didn't want
28:04him to be let down
28:05again.
28:06From now on,
28:07you don't go near Ollie
28:08without my permission
28:09or Lucas's.
28:11I can't undo
28:12the fear I caused Ollie,
28:13but I can make sure
28:14the person who kept
28:15feeding it is out
28:16of his life for good.
28:20Mom said we're going
28:21to Grandma and Grandpa's.
28:22If Dad doesn't come,
28:23will he starve
28:24all by himself?
28:25He just forgets
28:26to eat sometimes.
28:27He's not going to starve.
28:28I'm coming.
28:30So for the first time,
28:31I went back to the
28:32Carter family's old house
28:33with my husband
28:34and my son.
28:38That's when I realized
28:39every time I came home,
28:40I upset Dad so badly,
28:42his heart acted up.
28:44Ollie got scared
28:45a few times,
28:46so now he grabs
28:47the heart medication
28:47the second he walks in.
28:49He was only four and a half
28:51and he'd already learned
28:52to protect this family
28:53from me.
28:55Ivy hasn't been picking
28:56on you again lately,
28:57has she?
28:58You're asking the wrong
28:59question.
28:59Ask if she's bullied
29:00him again over Cain.
29:02Can I at least
29:02eat dinner tonight?
29:04My parents could finally
29:05joke about the past
29:06and Ollie wasn't
29:07constantly reading
29:08the room anymore.
29:09For the first time,
29:10the home I'd wrecked
29:11felt alive again.
29:15Lucas,
29:15when you were ten,
29:16you were this much
29:17shorter than me.
29:18Am I taller than you now?
29:20The height marks
29:21on the wall
29:21stopped at ten.
29:22The man in front of me
29:23had grown tall enough
29:24to pin me in completely.
29:26One more inch
29:26and we'd be kissing
29:27and I didn't want to move.
29:29Just when I finally
29:30worked up the nerve
29:31to lean in,
29:36Ivy, I'm downstairs.
29:37Come out and see me.
29:38I know you still
29:39can't let me go.
29:40Quit playing hard to get.
29:41I'm out of patience.
29:43Lucas, where are you going?
29:44Cain's call killed the kiss.
29:47Lucas didn't answer me.
29:48He stormed downstairs
29:49like he was ready
29:50to kill somebody.
29:51That's when I found out
29:52I'd once threatened Lucas
29:53with my life
29:54to protect Cain.
30:07If you touch him,
30:08I'll run into traffic
30:09and get myself killed.
30:12That threat still
30:13had Lucas trapped.
30:14Even now,
30:15he wouldn't risk my life again.
30:17My dad had another
30:18heart attack.
30:19My mom told me
30:20to end this marriage.
30:21Everyone thought
30:22if Cain snapped his fingers,
30:23I'd go right back to him.
30:25If you still can't
30:26let Cain go,
30:27stop putting Lucas
30:28through this.
30:29I didn't come down here
30:30to go with Cain.
30:32I came to make sure
30:33he never comes back.
30:35Life's been rough
30:36without me, huh?
30:38Apologize,
30:39and I might give you
30:39another chance.
30:41I was about to
30:42give you one, too.
30:44What?
30:44A chance to disappear
30:46right now.
30:47In that moment,
30:48every dollar he stole,
30:50every dream he ruined,
30:51and every person he hurt
30:51over those eight years
30:52went into that broom.
30:53Ivy, are you insane?
30:54No, I'm finally awake.
30:57Grandpa, do you still
30:58need your heart medication?
30:59Not right now.
31:01Where are you?
31:02My parents finally believed
31:03I'd really let Cain go,
31:05but the one person
31:06who needed to hear it
31:07had already left,
31:08believing the worst.
31:14Lucas wouldn't answer
31:15his phone,
31:16so I brought him
31:17dinner my dad made.
31:19weren't you going to see Cain?
31:21I was.
31:22To send him packing.
31:23Not very gently.
31:25Eat first.
31:26My handsome, rich,
31:27ridiculously nice husband
31:29matters a lot more
31:30than that narcissist.
31:31I'm not great
31:31at talking people down,
31:33but Lucas wasn't as hard
31:34to win over as I thought.
31:37Wait.
31:38Isn't this the trophy
31:40I threw out back in school?
31:44When I was 18,
31:45I won the ballet competition.
31:49I was too afraid
31:50to ask him,
31:51so I acted like
31:52that win meant nothing to me.
32:01How is this here?
32:03I picked it up.
32:04And you've kept it
32:05all these years?
32:06It matches the office.
32:13He said it like
32:14it was nothing,
32:15but the trophy
32:16was spotless.
32:19The next day,
32:20I tracked down
32:21our old classmate Ryan
32:22to find out
32:23what Lucas said to Sophie.
32:31Ryan told me
32:32Sophie repeated
32:33the rumor to Lucas
32:34on purpose,
32:35trying to make him
32:36believe I'd bought my title.
32:38But Lucas didn't comfort her.
32:40He called her out.
32:42You don't have any proof,
32:43so why do you still
32:44believe Ivy?
32:45Because I know her.
32:46She'd rather lose
32:47than win like that.
32:48No matter what,
32:49I'll always believe her.
32:51So it wasn't just
32:52the trophy he gave back.
32:53he gave me back
32:54the dignity
32:55those rumors crushed.
32:56And suddenly,
32:57I needed to see Lucas
32:58and ask why he trusted me
33:00that completely.
33:01Because you trusted me
33:02like that first.
33:05Lucas told me
33:06that when he was a kid,
33:07his stepmother
33:08hid some money
33:09and framed him
33:10for stealing it.
33:11When everyone
33:12pressured him
33:12to confess,
33:13I used my own allowance
33:14and pretended the missing money
33:16had been found.
33:19I thought I'd fooled everyone,
33:21but he knew right away
33:22I was the only one
33:24who folded bills like that.
33:26You knew there'd never be proof,
33:28so you covered it yourself
33:30instead of letting them blame me.
33:32Because even if you did something bad,
33:34you'd do it out in the open,
33:36not behind someone's back.
33:39Since that day,
33:41no matter what anyone says,
33:42I'll believe you first.
33:43I finally got it.
33:45He didn't keep choosing
33:46to trust me
33:47just because we were married.
33:48I stood by him
33:50when everyone doubted him,
33:51and after that,
33:52he never stopped
33:53standing by me.
33:55Memory,
33:56relief,
33:57whatever it was,
33:58it was all there
33:59between us.
34:00We were finally
34:01about to kiss.
34:03Mom,
34:04Dad,
34:04I got presents
34:05for all of us.
34:06Perfect.
34:07The mood was right,
34:08the distance was right,
34:09my heart was pounding,
34:10and then our four-and-a-half-year-old
34:12showed up right on cue.
34:15I'd promised Ollie
34:16we'd take him
34:16to the amusement park
34:17with Lucas this weekend.
34:19To make it feel
34:20like a real family date,
34:21he secretly got us
34:22three matching
34:23cartoon t-shirts.
34:24Can we all wear
34:25matching shirts today?
34:27That's childish.
34:29He said it was childish,
34:30but he changed faster
34:32than Ollie and me.
34:33Then Henry brought
34:34over his schedule,
34:35and Lucas cancelled
34:36everything at a glance.
34:39Today's for Ollie.
34:41Just me?
34:41For both of you.
34:43When Lucas was little,
34:44he threw up
34:45all the way home
34:46after a roller coaster.
34:48Eight years later,
34:49he's taller and richer,
34:51still not any braver.
34:54I just ate too much
34:55for breakfast.
34:56I don't know about
34:57their father-son bond,
34:58but they definitely inherited
34:59the roller coaster sickness.
35:02You three look so happy.
35:04Mind if I put this photo
35:05up at the booth?
35:07In that picture,
35:08we didn't look like
35:09a broken couple
35:10or strangers starting over,
35:12just two ordinary people
35:13on a date with their kid.
35:16You like it?
35:18Of course.
35:19I look gorgeous in it.
35:21As for the man
35:22in the picture,
35:23I wasn't telling him yet
35:24that he looked pretty good
35:25smiling at me too.
35:27That's Ollie.
35:28He and that woman
35:29bullied me at preschool
35:30last time.
35:31She's so young.
35:32No way she's his mom.
35:33She's probably
35:34his dad's mistress.
35:43I was helping Ollie
35:45pick out water guns
35:45for the big water fight
35:46when Benson's mom
35:47deliberately soaked him.
35:53I didn't even think.
35:56I just moved
35:57to protect Ollie.
35:58Didn't you say
35:59you had a mom?
36:01You say you a mom.
36:03Rich guys swapping
36:04girlfriends is normal.
36:09My son had only
36:10just started believing
36:11he had a real family.
36:16Here are the water guns
36:17you picked out.
36:20No.
36:21We want those too.
36:27They picked on Ollie.
36:34Now apologize to Ollie.
36:38Who the hell
36:39do you think you are?
36:43That woman is not
36:44his mother!
36:49She is my mom's.
36:52You have three seconds
36:53to apologize.
36:54Is list.
36:56Do you even know
36:57who my husband is?
37:00Three.
37:03Just wait till my husband
37:05gets here.
37:05You're dead.
37:07Two.
37:09One.
37:16When Lucas got there,
37:17Benson's mom
37:18didn't back off.
37:19She called me
37:20his mistress
37:20in front of everyone
37:21and said we were
37:22faking it as a family.
37:24Then people started
37:25whispering that I
37:26looked too young
37:26to be Ollie's real mom.
37:29Babe,
37:30she says I'm your mistress.
37:31I guess I look too young
37:32to have a four and a half
37:33year old son.
37:34Then make sure
37:34she remembers it.
37:35You're my wife
37:36and Mrs. Howard
37:37of Howard Group.
37:38The second she heard
37:39Howard Group,
37:40everything changed.
37:41Her husband's company
37:42was just one of
37:43Lucas's smallest suppliers.
37:44The woman who'd been
37:45lecturing me
37:46suddenly called it
37:47a misunderstanding
37:47between kids.
37:49Mr. Howard,
37:49I really didn't know
37:50she was your wife.
37:51So if she wasn't,
37:52that would make it okay
37:53to humiliate her
37:54and a child?
37:54Better yet,
37:56her husband's company
37:56had several irregular entries
37:58so Howard Group suspended
37:59the partnership
38:00and sent the records
38:01to an independent auditor.
38:02She tried to use
38:03his status to crush me
38:04and got her own
38:05family business
38:06audited instead.
38:07Ollie, please ask
38:08your mom and dad
38:09to forgive me.
38:10I heard your apology
38:11but you still owe us
38:12for the water.
38:14This time,
38:14Ollie didn't run and hide.
38:16He knew his mom and dad
38:17were behind him
38:18and he finally stood up
38:19for himself.
38:21Lucas told me to change
38:23out of my wet clothes
38:24and went to get me
38:25a hot drink.
38:26After I changed,
38:29I sat alone on a bench
38:30outside the locker room
38:31and waited for him.
38:33You've been making a scene
38:34this whole time
38:35just to get my attention.
38:36Then Kane showed up again,
38:38spouting narcissistic nonsense.
38:40And just my luck,
38:41Lucas came back
38:42with my drink
38:42and saw him standing
38:43right in front of me.
38:45Divorce Lucas.
38:46I'll marry you.
38:48Divorce Lucas.
38:50I'll marry you.
38:52Lucas came back
38:53right as Kane said it.
38:54He didn't confront him.
38:56He just set down
38:57the hot drink he'd bought me
38:58and walked away.
39:00Kane hadn't suddenly
39:01fallen for me.
39:02He thought I was just
39:03playing hard to get
39:04and he'd come to use me
39:05to steal Howard Group's
39:06bid proposal.
39:08Get me the bid proposal
39:09and I'll let you marry
39:10into the Black family.
39:11So you want me
39:12to betray my husband,
39:13steal trade secrets,
39:15and thank you
39:15for marrying me?
39:19The old you
39:19would have done anything
39:20for me.
39:21Then live in the past.
39:22Right now,
39:23I just want you
39:23the hell away from me.
39:25I turned him down.
39:26I made it clear
39:27I'd never hurt Lucas
39:28for anyone again.
39:29But after Kane left,
39:31I saw a drink
39:32still steaming
39:32by the bench.
39:33It was Lucas' thermut.
39:35He'd been there.
39:36He heard Kane propose,
39:37but not me
39:38turning him down.
39:40I called Lucas
39:41the whole way back,
39:42but he never answered.
39:43I found him in the study,
39:44drinking alone,
39:45rubbing his wedding ring
39:46over and over.
39:50The floor's cold.
39:52He thought I was
39:53leaving again,
39:53and he was still worried
39:54I'd get cold.
39:55That's when I got it.
39:56He wasn't refusing
39:57to trust the woman
39:58I'd become.
39:59He just couldn't believe
40:00I'd really stay.
40:02You've been wearing
40:03our wedding ring
40:03this whole time?
40:05Yeah.
40:06What about mine?
40:08You threw it away
40:09four years ago.
40:10One sentence
40:11brought back a past
40:12I'd forgotten
40:12and never had
40:13the courage to face.
40:14Lucas told me
40:15that four years ago
40:16I threw divorce papers
40:17in his face
40:18and took off
40:19my wedding ring.
40:22Let's get divorced.
40:24No.
40:25Lucas took my hand
40:26and reminded me
40:27of the vows we made
40:28with those rings.
40:29He thought what we'd
40:30been through
40:30might make me think twice.
40:33If this ring is supposed
40:34to mean something,
40:34I don't want it.
40:37I sat in Kane's car
40:38and watched Lucas
40:39dive for that ring
40:40again and again.
40:41I didn't even
40:42open the door.
40:43I wasn't just
40:43throwing away a ring.
40:44I was throwing
40:45away his family.
40:48I finally admitted
40:49it to Lucas.
40:51I've been running
40:52from those eight years.
40:53I may not remember
40:54them, but I can't
40:55pretend the damage
40:56wasn't mine.
40:59If I ever turn
41:00back into that person
41:00and hurt you
41:01and Ollie again,
41:02you have to send me
41:03away.
41:04So you're still
41:05planning to leave?
41:06I'm just scared.
41:07You wanted to marry me,
41:08so I married you.
41:09You wanted to leave,
41:10so I waited.
41:10Now you're back
41:11and you're already
41:12deciding how the
41:13next time ends.
41:15Ivy,
41:16you don't get to decide
41:18for everyone else
41:19whether they love you
41:19or give up on you.
41:21I thought asking him
41:22to send me away
41:23would protect this family,
41:24but to someone I'd
41:25already abandoned
41:26so many times,
41:27it only meant I was
41:28ready to leave again.
41:30Sorry,
41:31I'll go to Ollie's room.
41:34Don't go.
41:35I didn't want to
41:36explain anymore,
41:37and I couldn't leave
41:38Lucas waiting alone.
41:39In that moment,
41:40I finally admitted it.
41:4218-year-old Ivy Carter
41:43had fallen for the
41:44Lucas in front of me.
41:45I wanted his kiss,
41:47his arms around me,
41:48and I wanted to stay
41:50in the home I'd once
41:51thrown away with my
41:51own hands.
41:55I found out later
41:56Lucas wasn't drunk
41:57that night.
41:58He remembered every
41:59kiss,
42:00and he remembered
42:01pulling this ring out
42:01of that freezing fountain.
42:04I hope this time
42:05you really choose me.
42:07When I woke up,
42:09Lucas had put the ring
42:10he found in the fountain
42:11back on my finger.
42:13Four years ago,
42:14he couldn't stop Ivy Carter
42:15from throwing it away.
42:16Last night,
42:1818-year-old me
42:18asked him to stay.
42:22So the one who begged
42:23me to stay last night
42:24is sneaking off now?
42:26I'm just hungry.
42:27And calling my name
42:28all night?
42:29That was hunger too?
42:31Turns out marrying
42:32my old rival
42:32didn't make him
42:33any less insufferable.
42:35Worse,
42:36by the next morning,
42:37the whole estate
42:37knew Mr. Howard
42:38had finally stopped
42:39sleeping alone.
42:40Mom,
42:41were you sick yesterday?
42:43No,
42:44your dad was.
42:46Yeah,
42:47I need to get
42:48my strength back.
42:49I was starting to think
42:51asking him to stay
42:52last night
42:52was the most impulsive
42:53thing 18-year-old
42:54Mai had done
42:55since landing
42:56eight years
42:56in the future.
42:59Mr. Howard,
43:00your father needs you
43:01at the Howard family
43:02mansion right away.
43:05There's a problem
43:06with the bid proposal.
43:08Lucas and his father
43:09had always been at odds.
43:11He wanted me
43:12to stay home,
43:12but his stepmother
43:13specifically asked me
43:14to come along,
43:15like the whole thing
43:16was aimed at me.
43:18Lucas' stepmother
43:18was suddenly so nice,
43:20she even made
43:21the tea herself.
43:22and that bitter
43:23herbal smell,
43:25I just caught it
43:26on Cain.
43:28It's tea from my hometown.
43:30Barely anyone
43:30in New York
43:31drinks it.
43:33Her hometown
43:34was the same place
43:34Cain used to live.
43:36Lucas' stepmother
43:37and the man
43:37who ruined my life,
43:39somehow,
43:39they were connected
43:40and nobody knew.
43:44I never touched
43:45the tea.
43:47Then my stepmother
43:49brought up
43:49how I used to beg her
43:50to talk Lucas
43:51into a divorce
43:52and kept hinting
43:53Cain was the better choice.
43:55Ivy,
43:56I really am thinking
43:57of what's best for you.
43:59Lucas may come from money,
44:00but he's every bit
44:01as calculating
44:02as his father.
44:03I already wasted my life
44:05on a Howard man.
44:06I won't watch you
44:07do the same.
44:08You're young
44:09and beautiful.
44:11Why stay with a husband
44:12that cold?
44:13She acted like she cared,
44:15but every word
44:16was tearing Lucas down
44:17and pushing me
44:19to leave him for Cain.
44:21Cain's young,
44:22ambitious,
44:23and he knows
44:24how to love a woman
44:25better than Lucas does.
44:27Weren't you obsessed
44:27with him before?
44:29You seem to know Cain
44:31better than I do.
44:33I just don't want
44:34to see you make
44:34the same mistake I did.
44:37Don't worry.
44:38I'm not like you.
44:39I would never betray
44:40my husband
44:41for an outsider.
44:42Ivy,
44:43even if you hate me.
44:45You can't push me.
44:47No cameras,
44:48no witnesses.
44:49She was counting
44:50on my old reputation.
44:52A few tears,
44:53and everyone would assume
44:54I did it.
44:55Ivy,
44:55how much more
44:56are you going to tear
44:57this family apart?
44:58What she didn't know
45:00was that Ollie likes
45:01using his toy
45:01to record sounds
45:03whenever he comes
45:04to the family mansion.
45:05It caught everything
45:06that just happened.
45:10Lucas may come
45:11from money,
45:12but he's every bit
45:13as calculating
45:14as his father.
45:15Cain knows
45:16how to love a woman
45:17better than Lucas does.
45:18The toy caught
45:19more than her fake fall.
45:21It recorded
45:21every insult
45:22towards Lucas,
45:23every word meant
45:24to push us into divorce.
45:26That's when they
45:26finally saw it.
45:28She never meant well.
45:32So who owes Ivy
45:33an apology now?
45:36Maybe the pushing
45:37can be explained.
45:38What about leaking
45:39Howard Group's
45:40reserve bid?
45:40She met Cain
45:41at the amusement park
45:42yesterday,
45:43and today it was leaked.
45:44How long are you
45:44going to keep trusting her?
45:46One accusation
45:47had barely been cleared
45:48when another hit me.
45:49And this time,
45:50it wasn't just words.
45:52It was a trade secret
45:53that could cost Howard Group
45:54hundreds of millions
45:55of dollars.
45:56I didn't even know
45:57what the bid was for.
45:59How could I have leaked
46:00the reserve bid?
46:01You could have waited
46:02till Lucas was asleep
46:03and taken it
46:04from his computer.
46:05She never left
46:05my sight last night.
46:07One sentence cleared
46:08my name and told
46:08the whole Howard family
46:09I saw the same
46:10unsaved number
46:11over and over
46:12on her phone
46:12and I wanted
46:13to test a theory.
46:15Exactly what we did
46:16last night.
46:18Then take Ivy
46:19in for questioning.
46:22You're under suspicion
46:23for leaking trade secrets.
46:25Come with us.
46:26Lucas had planted
46:27a different hidden marker
46:28in every bid file.
46:29Cain got the one
46:30from Mr. Howard's set
46:31and only his stepmother
46:32had free access
46:33to the study.
46:34The same hometown tea,
46:36the way she defended
46:37Cain for no reason,
46:38and that bid file
46:40ending up
46:40in his hands
46:42all said one thing.
46:44They definitely
46:44weren't just acquainted.
46:46Then I saw the same
46:47unsaved number
46:48over and over
46:49on her phone
46:50and I wanted to
46:51test a theory.
46:52Mom, did it work?
46:53One word blew open
46:55the secret
46:55they'd hidden for years.
46:57Lucas' stepmother
46:58was Cain's biological mother
46:59and he'd been using her
47:01from the start
47:01to steal everything
47:02from Lucas.
47:04Mr. Howard,
47:06Cain already bought
47:06a piece of undevelopable land
47:08using the false reserve bid.
47:11If he wants to steal,
47:12let it cost him.
47:13At last,
47:14his father saw it.
47:16The son he'd doubted
47:17for years
47:17was the one protecting
47:19the Howard family
47:19all along.
47:21You owe Lucas
47:21an apology.
47:23I'm sorry.
47:25So this is what
47:26it feels like
47:27to have someone
47:28stand up for me.
47:29When he was at
47:30his most helpless,
47:31he remembered
47:32the one time
47:33I trusted him.
47:34And after all these years,
47:36I was finally
47:37back by his side.
47:39Later,
47:39I found out
47:40Ollie was worried.
47:41One of my ballet partners
47:43would steal me.
47:44So he told Lucas
47:45to win me over
47:46with his body.
47:48Lucas called it
47:49childish,
47:49then took off
47:50his shirt
47:51and started doing
47:52pull-ups that night.
47:57I just came in
47:58for a bottle of water
47:59and found a billionaire
48:00pretending not to show off
48:02abs he'd clearly
48:03been working on
48:03for this exact moment.
48:05Keep going.
48:06I'm not done looking.
48:08If you want a trainer,
48:10I'm available.
48:11I thought you'd hire me
48:12some young,
48:13hot trainer instead.
48:14Howard Group
48:15doesn't have the budget
48:16for that.
48:16That bottle had just
48:17touched my lips,
48:19watching him drink from it
48:20like it was nothing.
48:21My attention drifted
48:23from his abs
48:24to the slow bob
48:25of his throat.
48:26How'd you get this scar?
48:28Before Ollie was born,
48:30I almost fell down
48:31the stairs.
48:32Lucas shielded me
48:34and a broken banister
48:35went through his shoulder.
48:36I lost that memory.
48:38The scar didn't.
48:39We had so many
48:40good moments
48:41and I can't remember
48:42a single one.
48:45Don't cry.
48:46It doesn't matter
48:47if you don't remember.
48:48We'll make new memories.
48:50One a day,
48:51365 a year.
48:53Someday the new memories
48:54will outnumber
48:55the ones you lost.
48:56I used to be desperate
48:57to know what happened
48:58in those eight years.
49:00But in that moment,
49:01I understood.
49:03What mattered more
49:04than getting the past back
49:06was the long future
49:07we still had ahead of us.
49:11Ollie was gone
49:12at summer camp
49:12for a week.
49:14When he came back,
49:15he stopped reaching for me.
49:18The nightmare started again,
49:20like the safety we'd built
49:21was being chipped away.
49:24Who did this to you?
49:26I was bad.
49:27No four-year-old
49:28says that on his own.
49:30When I checked
49:30the camp roster,
49:31I found Cecilia,
49:32the woman Lucas drove off,
49:34back under a new identity
49:35as the camp counselor.
49:37I told you to stay away
49:39from my son.
49:43I'm just worried
49:44about Ollie.
49:45Mrs. Howard,
49:46why do you keep stopping him
49:46from getting treatment?
49:48She called abuse treatment
49:49and a mother's rage
49:50a breakdown.
49:51The crowd didn't know
49:52any of that.
49:59Who said you could
50:00lay a hand on my wife?
50:02Mr. Howard,
50:03maybe you should hear
50:04what Ollie said himself first.
50:07When mommy drinks,
50:09she hits me
50:10and cuts my hand
50:12with a knife.
50:13That was Ollie's voice.
50:15Cecilia didn't just hurt him.
50:18She made him blame me
50:19for all of it.
50:20He's always been afraid
50:21of his mother.
50:22I only helped him
50:23tell the truth.
50:26An unverified recording
50:28proves nothing.
50:29How long are you
50:30going to keep protecting her?
50:31I won't let anyone
50:32condemn my wife.
50:33Lucas had been fooled before,
50:34but this time,
50:36he didn't ask me
50:37to prove I was innocent.
50:39He shielded me first.
50:43A child's voice
50:44can be manipulated
50:44with drugs and hypnosis.
50:46If you want the truth,
50:47ask the person who did it.
50:49What are you talking about?
50:51Ryan had suspected
50:52Cecilia for a long time.
50:54She'd been using therapy
50:55to control Ollie,
50:57so he turned her own method
50:58against her
50:59and stopped her from lying.
51:01Who hurt Ollie's hand?
51:03I did.
51:04And that recording?
51:06I made him say that, too.
51:08But Ryan's next question
51:09wasn't about Ollie.
51:11A few years ago,
51:12Ivy changed completely.
51:13Was that you're doing, too?
51:15Of course.
51:17What did you do to Ivy?
51:21Kane told me
51:22to get close to her.
51:23I used drugs
51:24to lower her guard,
51:25then long-term hypnosis
51:27to make her believe
51:28only Kane was worth loving.
51:29They didn't change me overnight.
51:31They kept twisting my judgment,
51:33making me depend on Kane,
51:34and turning me against
51:35my husband, son, parents,
51:36and ballet
51:37until I ruined my own life.
51:40Then why did she suddenly
51:42snap out of it?
51:43After she fell that day,
51:45the conditioning she'd been under
51:46for years was broken.
51:47and that's why she went back
51:49to who she was at 18.
51:51I finally understood
51:52that cold, unhinged version
51:54of Ivy Carter
51:55didn't come out of nowhere.
51:57But being controlled
51:59explains what happened to me.
52:01It doesn't erase
52:02what Lucas, Ollie,
52:03and my parents went through.
52:07What about Ollie?
52:09Kane told me
52:10to destroy his sense of safety,
52:11then make everyone
52:12believe Ivy was the kind of mother
52:14who would hurt her own child.
52:17Why?
52:18Because Kane wanted
52:19your whole family
52:20to suffer forever.
52:21He wanted the Howard family,
52:23and he wanted to prove
52:24your so-called love
52:25could be broken.
52:26The full recording,
52:28the drug records,
52:29and Ollie's injuries
52:30were enough
52:30to put Cecilia on trial.
52:32Kane was identified
52:34as the mastermind
52:35in the police investigation.
52:40Ollie,
52:40none of that was your fault.
52:44Do you still want me, Mommy?
52:46No matter what they made you say,
52:48you're my son.
52:50Kane stole eight years from me,
52:52then came for my son.
52:53The law will make him pay.
52:55But before the police find him,
52:57there's one thing
52:57I need to settle
52:58with him myself.
52:59Kane tried to run.
53:02Lucas' men stopped him
53:03before he could leave New York.
53:06After what he did to my family,
53:08to my mind,
53:09and to Ollie,
53:10I wasn't about to settle
53:12for reading his regret
53:13in an interrogation transcript.
53:14Ivy,
53:16everything you have
53:17is just because
53:17you were born rich.
53:18So my family paying
53:20for your education
53:20was somehow our crime?
53:23You people just love
53:24playing savior.
53:25Even now,
53:26he blamed all his cruelty
53:28on being poor,
53:29like suffering once
53:30gave him the right
53:31to dump twice as much pain
53:33on innocent people.
53:34Being poor
53:35doesn't make you evil.
53:36Money doesn't make you
53:37noble, either.
53:39Here's the difference.
53:41We try to build a better life
53:42for ourselves
53:43and our families.
53:45You just want to drag
53:46everyone down with you.
53:47Without Lucas,
53:49you're nothing.
53:50Wrong.
53:51Even without my family,
53:53my marriage,
53:54or money,
53:54I'm still Ivy Carter.
53:57Take away everything
53:57you stole?
53:58What are you then?
54:02I thought getting revenge
54:03myself would feel good,
54:04but face to face with him,
54:06all I wanted
54:07was to go home.
54:08Ollie was waiting
54:09for me to turn out
54:10his light,
54:11and Lucas had promised
54:12to practice with me.
54:14Not the face.
54:15The police still need
54:16to identify him.
54:18She said,
54:19not the face.
54:19Everything else
54:20is fair game.
54:22That was the last time
54:24Cain was ever
54:25part of my life.
54:26The next time
54:27I heard his name,
54:29he and Cecilia
54:30were both waiting
54:31for the law
54:32to catch up with them.
54:35After Cain was dealt with,
54:37I found my way
54:38back to the stage.
54:40At 18,
54:41I thought losing
54:42eight years
54:43meant losing my dream,
54:44but my body remembered,
54:46and the people
54:47who loved me
54:47helped me start again.
54:49This year's
54:49International Ballet
54:50Competition gold medal
54:52goes to Ivy Carter.
54:54This time,
54:55no one said
54:56I bought the trophy.
54:57My parents were there.
54:59Ollie was cheering
55:00louder than anyone,
55:02and Lucas looked at me
55:04the same way
55:05he had when he kept
55:06that old trophy.
55:11Mom,
55:12do I just have
55:13no talent for dancing?
55:14You're pretty talented
55:15at attacking your partner.
55:18My turn.
55:24When did you learn that?
55:25My wife's a ballerina.
55:27I can't let her dance
55:28with someone else
55:29every time.
55:30After Ollie was born,
55:31he stayed home with him
55:33so I could keep dancing.
55:34and now he learned
55:35every step
55:36just so he could
55:38stand beside me.
55:41In that kiss,
55:43a memory that had been
55:44buried under hypnosis
55:45for years
55:46came rushing back.
55:49Lucas,
55:50I remember now.
55:52Thanks for sitting here.
55:53At our college
55:53graduation party,
55:54Lucas got surrounded
55:55by girls and,
55:57just like when we were kids,
55:58secretly texted me
55:59for help.
56:01Sorry,
56:01he has a girlfriend.
56:04They're gone.
56:05You can let go now.
56:06What'd you put for the last
56:07multiple choice math question?
56:09D.
56:09What if it's wrong?
56:11If it's wrong,
56:11I'll marry you.
56:12Happy?
56:13That question only had
56:14A, B, and C.
56:15That's when I got it.
56:16The rescue text,
56:18the terrace,
56:18the math question.
56:20Lucas set the whole thing up
56:21because he was too scared
56:22to ask me himself.
56:23You said it.
56:24No takebacks.
56:26Whoever backs out
56:27is a puppy.
56:29Deal.
56:30So our marriage
56:31wasn't some family arrangement
56:32or a reckless impulse.
56:34It was two idiots
56:35who'd spent years
56:36fighting their feelings
56:37and turned a joke
56:38into forever.
56:40So technically,
56:41I proposed to you first?
56:42That's right.
56:43But this time,
56:45it's my turn.
56:4918-year-old Ivy chose me.
56:5126-year-old Ivy forgot us.
56:54Now you know what life
56:55with me looks like.
56:56Ivy Carter,
56:58would you choose me again?
57:01When I woke up,
57:02I thought I'd been dropped
57:03into another woman's marriage,
57:04child, and mess.
57:06Now I know better.
57:07It wasn't a stranger's life.
57:09It was eight years
57:10stolen from me.
57:12I can't undo all that hurt.
57:15But I can hold my son again,
57:16protect my parents,
57:18and tell the man
57:19who waited all these years
57:20that his wait
57:21wasn't for nothing.
57:22If the woman I was
57:23chose to marry you,
57:24then she already knew.
57:26And so do I.
57:28I'm making the same choice.
57:30Lucas, I do.
57:35No taking it back this time.
57:37Whoever backs out is a puppy.
57:43Mom, do you still hate Dad?
57:45Of course I do.
57:47He hogged most of the bed
57:48last night.
57:49Not exactly.
57:50You rolled right
57:51into my arms last night.
57:55A year ago,
57:56I was 18,
57:58thrown eight years
57:59into the future.
58:05I still bicker with Lucas.
58:07Ollie still catches me off guard.
58:16But I finally got back
58:18to walk my dream,
58:20my family,
58:21and love.
58:23Mom, look at the camera!
58:26If this is the price
58:28of those lost eight years,
58:29I'll stay right here forever.
58:31I'll stay right here forever.
