00:00:00J'ai décidé de signer tout, tout j'ai demandé, c'était de garder mes deux enfants.
00:00:08Mais dans la courte, il m'a mis tout à l'arrière et m'aimait comme une mère de ma
00:00:12mère.
00:00:12Et puis mes enfants disaient,
00:00:13« Si votre mère et père vivent de l'autre, qui vous aimeriez vivre avec ? »
00:00:17« Mon honneur, peux-je vous dire un secret ?
00:00:19C'est quelque que même ma mère ne connaît.
00:00:30C'est le homme que j'ai marié 10 ans.
00:00:31J'étais encore à la même table.

00:00:43conduit des voitures de voiture,
00:00:45et investit une fortune sur une autre femme.
00:00:47Mais en quelque sorte, une nouvelle robe pour sa femme est trop trop à demander.
00:00:50Je vais prendre le divorce.
00:00:52Je ne veux pas un tenne de lui.
00:00:53Mais mes enfants, je garde les deux.
00:00:57Et où est le conseil pour le respondent ?
00:01:01Je ne suis pas un état.
00:01:03Je suis représenté moi-même.
00:01:05Vous ne pouvez même pas avoir un état.

00:02:35Sous-titrage ST' 501 ?
00:02:46La longest call lasted 43 minutes.
00:02:493-8-7-9 ?
00:02:50That's Michelle.
00:02:52Your Honor.
00:02:52Michelle's a woman.
00:02:53She was my college roommate.
00:02:55She's an attorney.
00:02:56I only called her because I needed advice about the divorce
00:02:58and what might happen with custody.
00:03:00Mrs. Miller, you have an opportunity to respond.
00:03:02Please take your seat.
00:03:04Given her repeated neglect, emotional outbursts and suspected affair,
00:03:08Mrs. Miller is clearly unfit to have custody of these children.
00:03:11No.
00:03:12That's not true.
00:03:13Mr. Anderson owns real estate and multiple vehicles.
00:03:16et sa compagnie est financière.
00:03:18Il a plus que suffisamment de moyens pour permettre aux deux enfants.
00:03:21Nous nous demandons à la Cour de l'adresse de Jaden et Jasper à leur père.
00:03:25Continue de perdre votre temps, Sophia.
00:03:27Le plus élevé que vous avez, le plus élevé que vous trouvez.
00:03:29Je ne fais pas un déjeuner si je sais que je vais gagner.
00:03:31Mrs. Miller, vous pouvez répondre maintenant.
00:03:34Votre Honoré, j'ai accordé à la divorce.
00:03:38Je ne veux pas la maison, les voitures ou le money.
00:03:41Il peut garder tout ça.
00:03:43J'ai only demandé une chose.
00:03:46Laisse mes deux enfants rester avec moi.
00:03:50Mrs. Miller, qu'est-ce que vous pensez que vous êtes capable de soutenir deux enfants ?
00:03:53Vous n'avez pas un travail, n'a pas d'argent, et n'a pas d'argent dans votre nom.
00:03:56Je peux travailler !
00:03:57J'ai l'habitude d'avoir une carrière !
00:03:58Il est le premier qui me fait donner ça.
00:04:00Deux ans de notre mariage, il me dit que les enfants ont besoin de leur mère à la maison,
00:04:03donc je n'ai pas de mon travail à l'institution de recherche.
00:04:06Mrs. Miller, ce comportement que vous présentez maintenant
00:04:08renforces mes clients' concerns de votre instabilité émotionnelle.
00:04:1110 ans, Sophia.
00:04:13C'est combien de temps que j'ai pris pour vous rendre une fille dans une cage.
00:04:15Maintenant, vous ne pouvez pas se couper les mains.
00:04:18Qu'est-ce que vous pensez que vous pouvez me battre ?
00:04:19Charles, vous n'avez jamais aimé ces enfants.
00:04:22La seule raison pour laquelle vous êtes battre pour la protection
00:04:23c'est ce $80 million contract.
00:04:26Je l'ai entendu parler sur le téléphone dans votre état.
00:04:28Vous dites que le cliente s'intéresse à une famille perfecte,
00:04:30vous avez la protection des enfants,
00:04:31vous laissez une autre femme, et le deal est de moi.
00:04:33Vous n'avez pas besoin d'enfants.
00:04:35Vous voulez deux propres pour aider vous à cliquer un deal.
00:04:37Qu'est-ce que vous parlez ?
00:04:38Vous êtes hors de votre tête.
00:04:39Votre Honoré,
00:04:40le responsable est en train de faire des accusés
00:04:42et des attaques personnelles sans un état de données.
00:04:44Nous demandons qu'elle soit instrucée à stopper.
00:04:46M. Miller,
00:04:47contrôle vous-même.
00:04:48Laissez les facts.
00:04:52Charles, j'ai gardé ma tête quand vous trouvez votre mistress
00:04:55dans notre vie.
00:04:56J'ai lancé pour mes enfants.
00:04:57Mais vous pensez que je vais laisser elle prendre ma place
00:04:59comme leur mère ?
00:05:00C'est pas une chance.
00:05:01En déterminant la justice,
00:05:03la Courteur doit considérer les situations de parents
00:05:05ainsi que les enfants.
00:05:07Jaden et Jasper sont 9 ans.
00:05:09Ils sont assez âgés pour expérir leurs sentiments sur le sujet.
00:05:13Je voudrais entendre les enfants moi-même.
00:05:15Ils sont ici ?
00:05:19Jaden, Jasper...
00:05:21Mon...
00:05:26Jaden, Jasper...
00:05:27Jaden, Jasper...
00:05:27Je vais faire ce qu'il suffit pour vous d'aider.
00:05:30Jaden, Jasper...
00:05:31Jaden, Jasper...
00:05:31Je voudrais vous demander quelque chose.
00:05:32Jaden, Jasper, je voudrais vous demander quelque chose.
00:05:32Il n'y a pas besoin d'être nerveux.
00:05:33Juste me dire comment vous vous sentez vraiment.
00:05:35Ok ?
00:05:36Si votre mère et père vivent aparte de maintenant,
00:05:38qui voudrais-vous vivre avec ?
00:05:39Mes enfants.
00:05:40J'ai presque mort de vous bringing dans ce monde.
00:05:42J'ai eu lancé.
00:05:43J'ai eu lancé.
00:05:44J'ai presque pas réussi.
00:05:45J'ai lancé.
00:05:46J'ai eu lancé.
00:05:47Jaden, Jasper, trust me.
00:05:49Je vous donne le meilleur vieux, le meilleur écoles et le meilleur futur possible.
00:05:52Ils sont 9 ans.
00:05:53C'est une chose facile.
00:05:54Avec moi, ils auront tout.
00:05:56Avec vous, ils auront rien.
00:05:57Ils connaissent exactement qui.
00:05:59Ils connaissent qui.
00:05:59J'ai eu lancé encore.
00:06:00La seconde qu'il y a une audience, il met son son père de son père.
00:06:04Happy birthday, Jaden !
00:06:06Happy birthday, Basper !

00:06:38J'ai lancé.
00:06:41J'ai lancé.
00:06:53J'ai lancé.
00:06:54J'ai lancé.
00:07:09J'ai lancé.
00:07:24Il y a la première fois.
00:07:27J'ai lancé.
00:07:30J'ai lancé.
00:07:31J'ai lancé.
00:07:32J'ai été lancé.
00:07:32J'ai tout de suite.
00:07:33J'ai un moment donné.
00:07:34J'ai lancé.
00:07:36Et elle n'est pas Maman.
00:07:37Je l'ai rêvé.
00:07:38J'ai lancé pour toi.
00:07:41J'ai lancé.
00:07:42C'est la femme, elle est à la maison, où est-ce qu'elle serait-ce qu'elle serait-ce
00:07:45qu'elle serait-ce qu'elle serait-ce qu'elle serait-ce qu'elle n'ait pas une partie de
00:07:49ma compagnie
00:07:49Une fois que le divorce est terminé, elle peut aller vivre dans un trou pour tout ce que je veux
00:07:54Qu'est-ce que les enfants ?
00:07:56Les enfants ? Elle peut les prendre et trouver comment les nourrir elle-même
00:07:59Pourquoi la merde je veux qu'elle ? Ils n'ont rien d'un burden
00:08:04Comment la merde ils ont l'impression d'un écran ?
00:08:10Une affaire ? J'ai presque mort de ces enfants dans cette monde
00:08:14Ils sont mes enfants et leurs aussi
00:08:16Qu'est-ce qu'elle fait tant longtemps ?
00:08:19Elle a été en travail toute la journée et toute la nuit
00:08:22Ils sont là, finalement !
00:08:25C'est parti, Mr. Anderson, les enfants, les enfants et les enfants sont bien
00:08:30Merci, docteur
00:08:33Regardez-moi les gens, ils sont tous comme moi
00:08:35C'est incroyable, c'est incroyable
00:08:37Les enfants, avez-vous pensé des noms pour eux ?
00:08:40Jaden pour l'âge, Jasper pour l'âge
00:08:42J'ai été pensé par ça pendant un mois
00:08:44Qu'est-ce que tu penses ?
00:08:45Je les aime, ils sont parfaits
00:08:48Vous jouez le grand-père quand même si vous aidez à votre business
00:08:51Toujours direz-moi comment les parents les aime
00:08:54Mais derrière les doors, ils n'ont rien d'un burden pour toi
00:08:59Charles, tu m'as fait mal
00:09:00C'est vrai, c'est faux
00:09:02Un 9-year-old ne pouvait pas avoir fait tout ça sur sa propre
00:09:26Jaden, quand tu fais cette vidéo ?
00:09:28Jaden, quand tu fais cette vidéo ?
00:09:28Et ce que tu utilises ?
00:09:29Jaden, j'ai pensé des exigences
00:09:31Jaden, j'ai utilisé mon petit appartement
00:09:32Mon petit appartement ?
00:09:34Je ne sais pas qu'il pensait c'est ça
00:09:35Jaden, je fais ça
00:09:38Jaden, j'ai dire mes fr Kensin
00:09:39Jaden, j'ai écris en mouder

00:11:03Your Honor, I want to tell you why Dad was so mean to Mom.
00:11:06Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:12:06They knew all along. I tried so hard to protect them, to keep them from seeing any of this. But
00:12:12they were right there, watching everything through that crack in the door.
00:12:15Your Honor, I have some other things too. They're not recordings. Can I show them to you?
00:12:22Your Honor, this is my diary. I wrote down a lot of the bad things Dad did.
00:12:27March 7th, 2023. Dad didn't come to our parent-teacher conference. Mom did. She'd been crying before she came. Her
00:12:34eyes were all puffy.
00:12:35Jaden, do you think Dad's coming? Don't you remember? Dad never comes to our parent-teacher conferences. What about Mom?
00:12:41Mom will come. She always does.
00:12:43I'm sorry, boys. Mommy's late.
00:12:45Mom, why were you crying?
00:12:47I wasn't crying. I just got something in my eye. Come on, let's go and see.
00:12:51That morning, I bed him for an hour. Just to come to one parent-teacher conference. But he...
00:12:57There's a parent-teacher conference this Friday. Could you come just this once? The boys really want you there.
00:13:01I'm busy. I've got a company to run. Not everyone gets to sit around at home all day like you.
00:13:04I don't just sit around. I take care of the boys.
00:13:06That's your job. I pay for you and those boys. The least you can do is take care of the
00:13:08house. Stop bothering me with this crap.
00:13:10But they need their dad.
00:13:11They need their dad? Then tell them their dad is out making money. I don't have time to play house
00:13:14with them.
00:13:14Keep nagging me and you won't see another dime for household expenses.
00:13:17Your Honor, these are just ordinary family matters. None of this proves anything. Sit down. Go on.
00:13:27Okay, Your Honor. I'll read the next one.
00:13:32May 2nd, 2023. Dad took us to the amusement park, but he was on the phone the whole time.
00:13:37He was gone for a long time. Jasper fell down, and when Dad came back, he yelled at Mom and
00:13:42Jasper.
00:13:45Mom, where's Dad? Where did he go?
00:13:47Daddy has some work to take care of. We can have fun on our own for now, okay?
00:13:53Dad!
00:13:54Jasper! Are you okay? Does it hurt?
00:13:56Jasper, don't run. Slow down.
00:13:59Why are you running around like that? You're old enough to know better than to fall like that.
00:14:04I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I should have been watching him more closely.
00:14:08You call yourself a mother? You can't even watch your own kid. What the hell do you do all day?
00:14:11It's not Mom's fault. Jasper was running because he wanted to see you.
00:14:15Jaden, you're just like your mother. Always talking back.
00:14:18The boys had begged him for six months to take them to that amusement park.
00:14:22I thought at least they'd have a good time, but instead...
00:14:25Sophia's damned. Always taking her side against me.
00:14:29Your Honor, I'll read the third one now.
00:14:34August 19th, 2023. I heard Mom crying in the kitchen that night.
00:14:38She was trying to be really quiet. I got up because I wanted to hug her, but Jasper stopped me.
00:14:42He said if we went in, Mom would just pretend to have been crying.
00:14:44They knew. They even knew when I was pretending not to cry. I really thought I'd hidden it from you.
00:14:51Could you send me some money? My stomach really hurts. I think I need to go to the hospital.
00:14:55Is money all you ever think about? You think it's easy for me to earn it?
00:14:58It really hurts. I can't take it anymore.
00:15:00If you've got enough strength to call me, you're not dying.
00:15:03Take some painkillers. Stop bothering me with every little problem.
00:15:09Your Honor, please look.
00:15:12I filled three notebooks in total. This is the third one.
00:15:14The other two, I left at my friend's grandma's house. I was afraid Dad would find them.
00:15:20Your Honor, everything my brother said is true. I have something to say, too.
00:15:26Mom bought me this lucky bracelet. One time, I got really sick, but Dad had a meeting and wouldn't take
00:15:31care of me.
00:15:33Mom, I don't feel good.
00:15:37He's burning up. 104 degrees. Jaden, go get your dad. Hurry.
00:15:41Okay.
00:15:42What the hell is going on in the middle of the night? Can't anyone let me get some sleep?
00:15:45Jasper's fever is 104. Please, can you drive us to the hospital?
00:15:48Why the hell do I have to drive you? Take him yourself. I've got a contract to sign first thing
00:15:52tomorrow morning.
00:15:55It's okay, Basper. Mommy's taking you out to the hospital right now.
00:16:02Mom was really scared after I got sick, so she bought these lucky bracelets, one for me and one for
00:16:06Jaden.
00:16:06Mom said they'd keep us safe and healthy.
00:16:09Mom carried Jasper to the hospital all by herself that night. Later, she told me that if they'd gotten there
00:16:13any later, Jasper could have been in real danger.
00:16:16To him, that contract mattered more than his own son's life. My hands were shaking the whole way there.
00:16:22I was terrified something would happen to Jasper before we even made it to the hospital.
00:16:26Your Honor, Dad didn't just leave me when I was sick. When Mom got sick, he brought another woman into
00:16:31our house.
00:16:32Jasper, stop making things up. Did your mother tell you to say that? Did she?
00:16:37Mr. Anderson, sit down and let the boy finish.
00:16:45Last December, Mom was in the hospital with appendicitis. Dad didn't go see her the night she had surgery. He
00:16:50said he was busy.
00:16:52But he brought another woman home. She came to our house. She sat in the living room and drank out
00:16:57of Mom's mug.
00:16:58She walked around the house in Mom's slippers. They were pink with a little bunny on them.
00:17:02Then she went into Mom's bedroom. She slept in Mom's bed.
00:17:07Jasper, that woman was just...
00:17:09Mr. Anderson, do not interrupt. Sit down.
00:17:13That night, I cried. Jaden did too. But we were too scared to leave our room.
00:17:19We didn't want that woman to hear us. And we were even more scared Dad would find out we were
00:17:23awake.
00:17:24I was lying in a hospital bed after surgery, while you brought another woman into our home and put her
00:17:29in my bed.
00:17:30Our boys were hiding in their room, crying, too scared to make a sound.
00:17:34She left later that night. The next day, Dad said something to us.
00:17:42He said, don't you dare tell your mother what happened last night.
00:17:48You threatened your own children just to cover for your mistress?
00:17:51Charles, what kind of monster are you?
00:17:55Is there a video of this?
00:17:57Yes. There's a folder on the flash drive called night. It's in there.
00:18:06Here, baby. Have a sip.
00:18:16That's for you too strong. You're going to get me drunk.
00:18:24Charles, you let that woman wear my slippers, drink from my mug, sleep in my bed. You're disgusting.
00:18:31Those slippers? They were on sale for $29.99. I went back to look at them three times.
00:18:37But I could never bring myself to spend the money.
00:18:40Meat, vegetables, eggs, milk. That's everything. I should still be under budget.
00:18:46Mom, look. These bunny slippers are so cute. They'd look great on you.
00:18:51I already have slippers. I don't need new ones.
00:18:54Mom, your old pair is falling apart. What if you trip? Please, just get these.
00:18:59Okay. Thank you, sweethearts. I'll get them.
00:19:03And that mug? Jaden gave it to me for Mother's Day last year.
00:19:09Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
00:19:13Thank you, Jaden. Where did you get the money for this?
00:19:16I saved my allowance for a whole month. Do you like it, Mom?
00:19:21I love it. I really do.
00:19:25That mug was a Mother's Day gift from my son.
00:19:28I treasured it, and you let your mistress use it like it was hers.
00:19:32Charles, you make me and our boys sick.
00:19:35Mr. Anderson, is there anything you'd like to say?
00:19:40I, I, well...
00:19:43Your Honor, my client needs time to review and verify this evidence.
00:19:46We request a brief recess.
00:19:49Fifteen minute recess.
00:19:50God, that was more exhausting than running a 10K.
00:19:54Mom!
00:19:56Mom!
00:19:57Don't be scared. Mommy's right here.
00:20:00Can we, can we please never go back there?
00:20:02I don't want to go back to that house.
00:20:04I don't want it anymore.
00:20:05Okay.
00:20:07We won't go back.
00:20:08Never again.
00:20:13Jaden, come here.
00:20:15Mom.
00:20:17You're the best mom in the whole world.
00:20:20It doesn't matter what anyone else says.
00:20:22What Jasper and I say, that's what matters.
00:20:25Mom, don't cry.
00:20:28Okay.
00:20:29I won't.
00:20:30For the past three years, every time you cried, I wrote it down in my diary.
00:20:34I was scared that one day, you wouldn't be able to take it anymore and you'd leave.
00:20:38And if I didn't have any proof, I wouldn't be able to help you.
00:20:42I was scared Dad would keep hurting you forever.
00:20:45I'm sorry.
00:20:47All this time, I thought I was protecting you.
00:20:49But for three years, the two of you were the ones trying to protect me.
00:20:53You were just little boys carrying all of this for me.
00:20:56I failed you as your mother.
00:20:59Mom, you didn't fail us.
00:21:01You're the best mom in the whole world.
00:21:02It's been three years.
00:21:04I filled three whole notebooks.
00:21:05My little boy, he started when he was only six.
00:21:08In those tiny notebooks, with his crooked little handwriting,
00:21:11he wrote down every single day his mother cried.
00:21:13August 19th, 23.
00:21:15I heard mom crying quietly in the kitchen.
00:21:17I got up to give her a hug, but Jasper stopped me.
00:21:20He said if we went in, mom would just pretend she wasn't crying.
00:21:23When he didn't know how to spell something, he'd draw a little picture instead.
00:21:26A little person with a sad face.
00:21:29Three years.
00:21:30Three notebooks.
00:21:32Page after page after page.
00:21:35Jaden, when did you start making those recordings?
00:21:39Last year, around the holidays.
00:21:42One day, dad was gone all day.
00:21:44Then he came home that night and started yelling at you.
00:21:46Look at you.
00:21:47You don't even bother doing your hair or changing your clothes.
00:21:50I'm embarrassed to be seen with you.
00:21:51You can't keep the house in order and you can't even take care of the kids.
00:21:54What are you good for besides spending my money?
00:21:57You're useless.
00:21:58Completely useless.
00:21:59At least a damn dog would wag its tail when I fed it.
00:22:02You're worse than a dog.
00:22:05Jaden, where are we going?
00:22:07Shh.
00:22:08Just follow me.
00:22:11Just follow me.
00:22:12What the hell are you crying about?
00:22:14Did I say anything that wasn't true?
00:22:16Jaden, what are you doing?
00:22:18Dad might hear us.
00:22:19Looking for a phone.
00:22:20We have to help mom.
00:22:22Watch the door.
00:22:23If dad comes, cough so I'll know.
00:22:24Okay, hurry.
00:22:26Found it.
00:22:27Let's go.
00:22:31Jaden, what do you need that for?
00:22:33To record things.
00:22:34Dad keeps hurting mom.
00:22:35They said on TV that if you go to court, you need proof.
00:22:38How to record audio on an iPhone.
00:22:39Do you know how to record?
00:22:41We learned how to search for stuff in computer class.
00:22:44How to record audio on an iPhone.
00:22:45There.
00:22:46You found it.
00:22:47Let's try it.
00:22:48Test.
00:22:50Test.
00:22:51It works.
00:22:53From now on, whenever dad hurts mom or does something bad, we record it.
00:22:57Okay, from now on, we'll protect mom.
00:22:59Jasper and I spent an hour figuring it out.
00:23:01That's how we learned to record things.
00:23:04What about the tablet?
00:23:05How did you get that video?
00:23:09What about the tablet?
00:23:10How did you get that video?
00:23:12The tablet belongs to Jasper.
00:23:13His school gave it to him for homework.
00:23:16That night, Jasper heard something going on in the living room.
00:23:19He woke me up.
00:23:20And I told him to get the tablet so we could record it.
00:23:23That frumpy wife of yours?
00:23:25She's really not home?
00:23:26She's in the hospital.
00:23:27Just had her appendix out.
00:23:29The anesthesia hasn't even worn off yet.
00:23:31She's not going to ruin our fun tonight.
00:23:36Jaden, wake up.
00:23:38Hmm, is mom home?
00:23:40Dad brought a woman home.
00:23:43What?
00:23:45Come on.
00:23:46We need to record them.
00:23:49Jaden, use this.
00:23:50The video will be clearer.
00:23:52It'll be better proof to protect mom.
00:23:54Let's go.
00:23:55Come on, baby.
00:23:57Have a sip.
00:23:59No.
00:24:00I want you to give it to me with your mouth.
00:24:06You two.
00:24:07Why didn't you tell me?
00:24:10My babies.
00:24:12You did all of this for me?
00:24:14Why didn't you tell me?
00:24:16Because you would have cried if you knew.
00:24:18Mom, you were sick then.
00:24:20You'd just had surgery.
00:24:22Crying would have made it hurt even more.
00:24:25Even if you knew you didn't have proof yet, and you couldn't stand up to dad on your own, you
00:24:30would have just cried.
00:24:31We didn't want you crying for nothing.
00:24:33But weren't you scared?
00:24:35What if he'd caught you?
00:24:36We were scared.
00:24:38But we were more scared you'd keep crying.
00:24:40Mom, Jaden said we had to get enough proof before we told you right.
00:24:44The recordings, the diaries, the video.
00:24:46We wanted enough proof to stop him once and for all.
00:24:49They're only nine, and they've been gathering evidence for me.
00:24:53What kind of mother lets her children grow up this fast?
00:24:56Mom, you always used to say,
00:24:57For you and Jasper, there's nothing I can't endure.
00:25:00Now it's our turn.
00:25:01For you, there's nothing Jasper and I won't do.
00:25:06Jaden.
00:25:08Jasper.
00:25:11Mom, we still have lots more proof.
00:25:13Don't be scared.
00:25:14We'll help you win in court, and we'll make sure dad can't hurt you anymore.
00:25:17We're gonna win.
00:25:18Yes.
00:25:20We're going to win.
00:25:23Jaden.
00:25:24Jaden, listen to me.
00:25:25Those things, they're not what you think.
00:25:28Stay away from us.
00:25:29Jaden, I know I was wrong.
00:25:31I'll change.
00:25:32I promise.
00:25:34Just give me a chance, okay?
00:25:36Your lawyer's waiting for you.
00:25:37Mom, we're going to help you win this case.
00:25:40We will.
00:25:45Mom, trust Judge Harrison.
00:25:48We're not going to lose.
00:25:50Okay.
00:25:51I trust the law.
00:25:57Mr. Anderson, take a look at this.
00:26:02Court is back in session.
00:26:06Your Honor, we object to the admissibility of all audio and video recordings submitted by the respondent.
00:26:12Any recordings made without the other party's consent must be carefully reviewed before they can be admitted as evidence.
00:26:17And more importantly, these recordings were made by two nine-year-old children.
00:26:21We have reasonable grounds to believe that Sophia Miller directed them behind the scenes, if not orchestrated the entire thing
00:26:26herself.
00:26:27Mrs. Miller used her own minor children as tools to secretly monitor my client for months.
00:26:32That conduct alone represents a serious breach of trust within this family.
00:26:35And it only reinforces what my client stated in his petition, that Mrs. Miller is not a fit mother.
00:26:41How does that make any sense?
00:26:43The boys saw what your client was doing with their own eyes.
00:26:45How does that suddenly mean I manipulated them?
00:26:48In addition, we request that Betty Sullivan, the Anderson family's former nanny, be called to testify regarding Mrs. Miller's day
00:26:54-to-day care of the children.
00:26:55You submitted Mrs. Sullivan's written statement before the recess.
00:26:58You're now asking to have her testify in court?
00:27:01Yes, Your Honor.
00:27:02Very well.
00:27:03Call the witness.
00:27:11Betty, how long did you work as a nanny for the Anderson family?
00:27:14A little over three years.
00:27:16I started when the boys were six.
00:27:18During that time, how involved was Mrs. Miller in the children's day-to-day care?
00:27:21Mrs. Miller went out a lot and left the boys with me.
00:27:24Sometimes she'd come home really late.
00:27:26There were nights when the boys were already asleep and she still wasn't back.
00:27:29And she had a bad temper.
00:27:32Sometimes she'd smash things and scream right in front of the boys.
00:27:36They'd get so scared they'd cry.
00:27:37Three and a half years.
00:27:39She worked in my home for three and a half years and I treated her like family.
00:27:43I always paid her on time.
00:27:45I never forgot to get her gifts.
00:27:47When she got sick, I took her to the hospital.
00:27:50I stayed with her all day through registration, waiting, and picking up her medication.
00:27:56And this is how she repays me?
00:27:58Lying about me like this?
00:28:00Saying I smashed things and screamed in front of my own children?
00:28:04Your Honor, that's not true.
00:28:06When I went out, it was to buy groceries, take the boys where they needed to go, or see a
00:28:10doctor.
00:28:11And I wasn't the one smashing things.
00:28:13Your Honor, can I play another recording?
00:28:16Don't tell me this kid has even more evidence.
00:28:19Play it.
00:28:22January 8th.
00:28:23Ten days before Charles filed for divorce.
00:28:26Did you bring it?
00:28:27Mr. Anderson, are you sure about this?
00:28:30Mr. Anderson, are you sure about this?
00:28:33Just write what I told you.
00:28:35Say she neglects the kids, she's emotionally unstable, and she's always going out and leaving them behind.
00:28:39Once it's done, I'll wire you a million.
00:28:40But Mrs. Miller, she's always been good to me.
00:28:43That's her problem.
00:28:44I'm the one paying you, so you do what I tell you.
00:28:46Doesn't your daughter want to go to grad school?
00:28:48A million is enough to put her through grad school three times over.
00:28:51If you want the money, quit stalling and write.
00:28:54Fine.
00:28:55What do you want me to write?
00:28:56I'll send it to you.
00:28:57Just copy it word for word.
00:28:59Your Honor, the recording has ended.
00:29:02I, I, Your Honor, I, Your Honor, we, we need time to look into this further.
00:29:11Jayden, do you have any other evidence you'd like to submit?
00:29:18Yes.
00:29:21I heard Dad on the phone saying he was going to transfer company money to someone named Lydia.
00:29:25I found this in the trash.
00:29:29My son, at an age when other kids should be watching cartoons,
00:29:32he was outside his father's study copying down account numbers,
00:29:36all so that one day he could help his mom in court.
00:29:39Is this a three or an eight?
00:29:40An eight.
00:29:41Dad said he was transferring eight million to an account under Lydia's name.
00:29:43And what does Building 6, Unit 1202 refer to?
00:29:46An apartment.
00:29:47I heard Dad say on the phone, put it in your name.
00:29:50It has nothing to do with me.
00:29:51Your Honor, he's nine years old.
00:29:53He hears a few numbers and suddenly that's evidence?
00:29:55He doesn't even know what a bank account number is.
00:29:57Sophia must have coached him to memorize all of this.
00:30:00Your Honor, these are nothing more than a child's personal notes.
00:30:03They have no evidential value and we ask the court to disregard them.
00:30:06Your Honor, Jaden would never lie.
00:30:09Charles, he's your son too.
00:30:10How could you say that about him?
00:30:12Sophia, you're using your own son as a weapon against me.
00:30:14You taught him to throw around a few numbers and accuse me of something I didn't do?
00:30:18You're insane.
00:30:20She really thinks some kid with a scrap of paper can take me down?
00:30:24Pathetic.
00:30:25Sophia, if you're going to manufacture evidence, at least teach him how to do it right.
00:30:30Jaden, what do we do now?
00:30:36Your Honor, I'm Michelle Schmidt, counsel for Sophia Miller.
00:30:39My apologies for being late.
00:30:40I just finished obtaining the bank records.
00:30:43Your Honor, she's my college roommate, the suspicious person Charles' attorney claimed
00:30:48I was constantly talking to.
00:30:50I didn't want to drag her into my mess, so I came here alone.
00:30:53But she still showed up, right when I needed her most.
00:30:56Mrs. Miller previously stated that she was representing herself.
00:30:59I was retained it on an emergency basis.
00:31:02And you have evidence to submit?
00:31:05I do.
00:31:05And there's more than one piece.
00:31:09When Michelle found out I was planning to face this divorce hearing alone,
00:31:12she spent 15 minutes tearing into me last night.
00:31:14You're going to court alone?
00:31:16Without a lawyer?
00:31:17Have you lost your mind?
00:31:18I didn't want to bother you.
00:31:19You're already so busy with work.
00:31:21Bother me?
00:31:21How many years have we known each other?
00:31:23Do you even consider me your friend?
00:31:24Michelle, I really don't want to...
00:31:25I've already asked so much of you over the years.
00:31:27Sophia, listen to me.
00:31:28That man lied to you for 10 years and made you give up 10 years of your life.
00:31:31But you have never been a burden.
00:31:33But... but...
00:31:34No buts.
00:31:34Look at you.
00:31:35An old coat, a beat-up phone,
00:31:37and you can't even afford an attorney.
00:31:38What happened to the brilliant life sciences student
00:31:40who used to be top of her class at university?
00:31:42I never wanted my life to turn out like this.
00:31:44You gave up your career for him.
00:31:45You had his children.
00:31:46You sacrificed everything for that family.
00:31:48And what did he do?
00:31:49He got himself a mistress,
00:31:51hid your money,
00:31:51and now he's trying to take your children too?
00:31:53I'm going with you tomorrow.
00:31:54I'll handle the evidence.
00:31:55And don't argue with me.
00:31:56This isn't up for discussion.
00:31:58Michelle, thank you.
00:31:59You were number one in your entire department, Sophia.
00:32:02Professor Helen Quinn considered you her most promising student.
00:32:04You buried all that talent for that man.
00:32:06I... I was such a fool.
00:32:09Tomorrow, you walk into that courtroom with your head held high,
00:32:11and you show everyone that Sophia Miller is done letting people walk all over her.
00:32:18These are bank records for accounts held by the petitioner, Charles Anderson,
00:32:21obtained from two commercial banks.
00:32:23I also have the city's property registration records.
00:32:27Here, take a good look.
00:32:29According to the bank records,
00:32:30between June 23 and 2024,
00:32:32Charles Anderson made seven SEP transfers from his business and personal accounts
00:32:35to accounts held by a woman named Nadine Lydia,
00:32:38totaling $86 million.
00:32:40That includes a single transfer of $3.2 million,
00:32:42separate 17-3, labeled consulting to fee.
00:32:44Property records also show that on October 8, 23,
00:32:47Unit 1202, Building 6, Victoria Gardens,
00:32:49was transferred to Lydia's name for $3.86 million.
00:32:52Building 6, Unit 1202.
00:32:54Jayden, you got it right?
00:32:56Yeah.
00:32:56The funds used to purchase that property
00:32:58came directly from a business account controlled by Charles Anderson.
00:33:01During the marriage,
00:33:02Charles transferred more than $12 million in marital assets to Lydia,
00:33:05the woman he was having an affair with.
00:33:06$12 million.
00:33:07I nearly died giving him children.
00:33:09I gave him my youth,
00:33:11became his maid,
00:33:11and let him treat me like a punching bag.
00:33:13And this is what I got in return.
00:33:15He took our money and handed it all to another woman.
00:33:18So now,
00:33:19I'm fighting for my children and my share of everything.
00:33:22And I'm not backing down.
00:33:25This evidence proves one thing.
00:33:27Charles Anderson is the one who should forfeit his claim to the marital assets.
00:33:31I earned that money.
00:33:32I can do whatever the hell I want with it.
00:33:33Mr. Anderson, order.
00:33:35Charles, when you spent $3.86 million buying your mistress a home,
00:33:39did it ever occur to you that some of that money belonged to me too?
00:33:42Spare me the victim act, Sophia.
00:33:43You've lived off me for 10 years without working a single day.
00:33:46What makes you think you're entitled to my money?
00:33:47When you made me quit my job,
00:33:48you said the boys need their mother at home.
00:33:50Now you're throwing it in my face that I haven't worked in 10 years.
00:33:52So what was I to you?
00:33:53A free nanny?
00:33:54Someone to have your children?
00:33:55Don't stand there and put on an act.
00:33:57When you were handing your mistress $8 million,
00:33:58I was taking care of your mother and helping our boys with their homework.
00:34:01Who exactly was I putting on an act for?
00:34:02The law says I have a claim to what we built during our marriage.
00:34:05And whatever you secretly gave her, I'm taking my share back.
00:34:07Mr. Anderson, how do you explain these bank records?
00:34:10Those were legitimate business transactions.
00:34:12Legitimate business payments don't go straight into someone's personal account.
00:34:14Lydia was neither your employee nor a business partner at the time.
00:34:17Lydia's last employer was H Properties, Charles Anderson's company.
00:34:21She worked there as the general manager's assistant.
00:34:24Lydia left the company in May 2023.
00:34:28That very same month, she received the first large transfer from Charles.
00:34:33Charles, you wanted the wife who gave you two children
00:34:34and devoted 10 years of her life to your family to walk away with nothing,
00:34:37while you handed another woman $12 million?
00:34:38Do you have any conscience at all?
00:34:4110 years of planning.
00:34:43And in the end, my own son is the one who brought me down.
00:34:47My client will need additional time to review the allegations
00:34:50concerning the transfer of marital assets.
00:34:51Until then, we reserve the right to challenge those claims.
00:34:54Do you have any other witnesses to call?
00:34:57No, Your Honor.
00:34:58Given the volume of newly submitted evidence,
00:35:00the court will review the relevance and admissibility
00:35:01of the audio and video recordings as a whole.
00:35:03The court will also investigate the allegations
00:35:05that the potential concealed or transferred marial assets during the marriage.
00:35:09And one more matter.
00:35:11Ms. Sullivan,
00:35:13knowingly providing false testimony can have serious legal consequences.
00:35:17This court may refer the matter to the appropriate authorities.
00:35:20Knowingly providing false testimony can have serious legal consequences.
00:35:23This court may refer the matter to the appropriate authorities.
00:35:26Three years I treated you like family.
00:35:28And for a million dollars you were willing to destroy me?
00:35:30Whatever happens to you now, you brought it on yourself.
00:35:33Your Honor, please.
00:35:35I didn't mean for this to happen.
00:35:36Mr. Anderson said, he said nothing would happen.
00:35:38He told me.
00:35:39You can explain that to the authorities if necessary.
00:35:43Thank you.
00:35:43This court will recess for another 15 minutes.
00:35:49Only parties to the case and their attorneys may enter during the hearing.
00:35:51I'm the petitioner's mother.
00:35:53You still can't go in.
00:35:54Let me through.
00:35:56That's Charles' mother, isn't it?
00:35:58She's dressed like she's headed to a red carpet premiere.
00:36:00She's worn some version of that outfit to every formal occasion
00:36:03since the day I married into the Anderson family.
00:36:05She's new money trying way too hard to pass for old money.
00:36:07And she still looks down on everyone else.
00:36:09I got a taste of that 10 years ago.
00:36:11Mom, this is my girlfriend, Sophia.
00:36:13It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Anderson.
00:36:15Pretty enough, I suppose.
00:36:17Your posture could use some work.
00:36:18The Andersons are a respected family in this city.
00:36:21Charles is our only son, so one day he'll inherit the family business.
00:36:24And you?
00:36:25What's your educational background?
00:36:27I have a master's in life sciences from A University.
00:36:29A master's?
00:36:30I suppose that's acceptable.
00:36:31The least accomplished women before you had doctorates.
00:36:34I'm not quite sure what he sees in you.
00:36:35What does your family do?
00:36:37I don't have a family.
00:36:38I grew up an orphan.
00:36:40All right, that's enough.
00:36:43I understand.
00:36:44You're lucky Charles chose you.
00:36:45Once you're married, good care of your husband,
00:36:47give him children, and keep the household in order.
00:36:51The Anderson family certainly doesn't need whatever little salary you'd bring home.
00:36:55Sophia!
00:36:56You dragged your problems with Charles into court and humiliated this entire family.
00:36:59Go tell the judge this was all your fault.
00:37:02Put an end to this nonsense and take the boys home!
00:37:09Jaden and Jasper have been so brave.
00:37:11It's time for their mom to be brave, too.
00:37:12Sophia, whatever Charles has done, he's still their father.
00:37:15If you insist on blowing this whole thing up, you'll be the one who pays for it in the end.
00:37:18Oh, really?
00:37:19You don't have a job or any income.
00:37:21How exactly are you going to support two children?
00:37:23Just who do you think you are?
00:37:24The Anderson family has connections all over this city.
00:37:27You...
00:37:27Grandma, your son is the one who said he didn't want us.
00:37:30Jaden, of course your father wants you.
00:37:32Don't believe everything your mother tells you.
00:37:35There's a recording of Charles saying he doesn't want the boys.
00:37:38There's video of him bringing another woman into our home.
00:37:41There's a recording of him offering our nanny a million dollars to lie for him.
00:37:44And there are bank records showing he transferred over eight million to that woman.
00:37:50The judge has heard all of it.
00:37:52He's seen all of it.
00:37:53What?
00:37:54What recording?
00:37:55What video?
00:37:56You're lying!
00:37:57Mom isn't lying.
00:37:58You can ask your son yourself.
00:38:00But the bailiff said you can't go in.
00:38:02Penelope!
00:38:03You go!
00:38:04Go find your brother!
00:38:06Excuse me, could I...
00:38:07The petitioner's sister can't go in either.
00:38:10Sophia, who the hell do you think you are going up against the Anderson family?
00:38:15If you don't stop this right now, I swear I'll make you regret it!
00:38:21The Anderson family and I are already finished.
00:38:24This is all you're doing, you bitch!
00:38:26You put those boys up to this!
00:38:27You set Charles up!
00:38:28You!
00:38:29For ten years, I swallowed every insult, cried every tear, and put up with everything for
00:38:33my boys.
00:38:34But we're done putting up with it.
00:38:36They had the courage to do what I couldn't.
00:38:38So I have no excuse to be afraid anymore.
00:38:40Sophia, you've poisoned my grandsons against their own father.
00:38:44I guess rotten mothers really do raise rotten sons.
00:38:47Grandma, Dad's a grown-up.
00:38:49If he's the one doing bad things, why are you blaming Mom for how she raised us?
00:38:53Grandma, Dad failed as a father.
00:38:55If he turned out this way, doesn't that mean you failed as a mother too?
00:38:59That's right, boys.
00:39:01You!
00:39:02He's your father!
00:39:03How can you...
00:39:04I know he's our dad.
00:39:05He just never acted like one.
00:39:07He said we were in the way.
00:39:08He said we were annoying.
00:39:10He even said Mom could take us and starve.
00:39:12Does that sound like a dad to you?
00:39:14Yes!
00:39:15That's exactly right!
00:39:16Thank God you boys didn't learn from your father.
00:39:18Otherwise, this family really would be rotten to the core.
00:39:21You!
00:39:22All of you!
00:39:23Mom, please, just stop.
00:39:26All parties in council.
00:39:27Court is back in session.
00:39:29Come on, boys.
00:39:31Sophia, don't get too cocky.
00:39:33I hired the best lawyer money can buy for my son.
00:39:36By the time he's done with you, you'll have nothing left!
00:39:41Look, the Andersons brought in another lawyer.
00:39:43Oh, let's see what he's got.
00:39:45Your Honor, I'm Edward Bennett, additional counsel for the petitioner.
00:39:48Given the new developments in this case, we'd like to revise our position on the relief requested.
00:39:52In what respect?
00:39:54With regard to custody, the court should not base its decisions solely on one parent's misconduct.
00:39:58The petitioner holds a clear advantage in terms of financial stability.
00:40:01Mrs. Miller has been unemployed for the past 10 years.
00:40:04She owns no home, has no vehicle, has no stable source of income, and has been out of the workforce
00:40:10for a decade.
00:40:11It's not that I couldn't earn my own money.
00:40:13Someone made sure I never got the chance.
00:40:15After 10 years as a stay-at-home mother, how can she guarantee these children the standard of living and
00:40:20education they need?
00:40:21How is she supposed to handle a financial emergency?
00:40:24According to this city's 2023 family court report, in comparable cases, the parent with greater financial resources was awarded custody
00:40:3173% of the time.
00:40:33That's data.
00:40:34Your Honor, not a motion.
00:40:35Counsel for the respondent?
00:40:37You may respond.
00:40:39You said she's been out of the workforce for 10 years.
00:40:42So let me ask you this.
00:40:44Who made Sophia leave the workforce in the first place?
00:40:47Your client, Charles.
00:40:48In the second year of their marriage, he repeatedly pressured Sophia to quit her job and stay home with the
00:40:53kids.
00:40:54His reason?
00:40:55The children need their mother.
00:40:56And now, 10 years later, not only does he refuse to take care of his own children, he turns around
00:41:02and uses the very sacrifice he demanded of her against her,
00:41:05claiming that because she has no job and no income, she's somehow unfit to raise them.
00:41:10He made his wife give up her career, and now he's using the fact that she gave it up to
00:41:14take her children away?
00:41:17This is a courtroom, not a stage.
00:41:19The law deals in facts, not emotion.
00:41:22And the facts are these.
00:41:23Over the past 10 years, the defendant has had zero income, zero assets in her name, and zero employment record.
00:41:30Three zeros.
00:41:31How does the defense explain that?
00:41:33You can dress it up however you like, Michelle.
00:41:35The numbers don't lie.
00:41:36A mother with zero income, zero assets, and zero employment history can't even support herself.
00:41:42How is she supposed to support two children?
00:41:45Three zeros?
00:41:46Then let me tell you who put those zeros there.
00:41:49Your client.
00:41:50He funneled money to his mistress, put property in her name, and left his wife with nothing.
00:41:56Your Honor, this isn't about Sophia being incapable of supporting herself.
00:42:01She was deliberately denied the chance to do so.
00:42:04She didn't simply choose not to work.
00:42:06She was pushed out of the workforce.
00:42:09Even if everything you just said is true, it doesn't change the past.
00:42:12The question before this court is who can give these children a better future.
00:42:17Love doesn't put food on the table.
00:42:20We can provide evidence showing that the plaintiff's company is projected to generate substantial profits over the next three years.
00:42:27He can provide these children with the best education, health care, and living conditions.
00:42:31As for the defendant, after the divorce, she'll have no choice but to rent.
00:42:36And if she can't find a job, she may not even be able to afford that.
00:42:39Is she going to drag two children from place to place with nowhere to call home?
00:42:43I'd rather rent a place with my kids than have them live under that bastard's roof, walking on eggshells around
00:42:49their stepmother every single day.
00:42:51Your Honor, Sophia holds a master's degree in molecular biology from the Institute of Life Sciences at A University.
00:42:57Her academic advisor, Professor Helen Quinn, is one of the country's leading experts in the field.
00:43:02My client is more than capable of supporting her two children.
00:43:05And since you're so interested in statistics, over the past three years, 96% of master's graduates from A University's
00:43:12Institute of Life Sciences have found employment, with an average monthly salary of $30,000.
00:43:16There's also a major shortage of qualified professionals in the field.
00:43:19Would you like to look up those numbers, too?
00:43:21Even if she was qualified 10 years ago, she's been out of the field for a decade.
00:43:26Her skills are obsolete.
00:43:27Employers care about what you've done in the last three years, not a paper you published 10 years ago.
00:43:33If you're so confident, show this court a single job offer.
00:43:37Until she has one, none of that means anything.
00:43:41There's no law that says a parent needs a job lined up before they can seek custody.
00:43:44Your Honor, I'd like to say something.
00:43:46You may proceed.
00:43:47I just received these three job offers.
00:43:49This one is from A University's Institute of Life Sciences, a principal investigator position, with an after-tax annual salary
00:43:55of $2 million.
00:43:57That salary is more than enough to support me and both of my children.
00:44:02Your Honor, I didn't suddenly become capable today.
00:44:05Ten years ago, I earned my master's at A University's Institute of Life Sciences and published research in leading academic
00:44:10journals.
00:44:11Ten years later, I'm still the same person.
00:44:14I don't need to prove how impressive I am.
00:44:16I just need to prove that with me, my boys will have food on the table, clothes on their backs,
00:44:20a good education, and the chance to grow up with dignity.
00:44:23This offer pays me more in one year than your client gave me for household expenses over the entire ten
00:44:28years of our marriage.
00:44:29So tell me, which is it?
00:44:30Was I incapable of earning money, or did someone make sure I never got the chance?
00:44:34These documents will be admitted into evidence.
00:44:36I also want to address the court's preliminary review of the audio recordings submitted this morning.
00:44:42After a preliminary review of the audio evidence submitted this morning, the court finds that the recordings were made independently
00:44:48by the two minor children out of a genuine concern for their own safety.
00:44:52They've been quietly standing up for me for three years.
00:44:55Now it's my turn to stand up for them.
00:44:58The recordings contain evidence relevant to allegations of domestic violence and marital misconduct.
00:45:03No evidence has been presented to suggest that the recordings were altered or fabricated.
00:45:07The court will therefore admit them into evidence.
00:45:09Damn it.
00:45:10This judge isn't buying any of this.
00:45:12If those recordings are admitted, we don't have a case.
00:45:14As for the plaintiff's transfer of marital assets to a third party, Lydia, the bank records and property records submitted
00:45:20by the defense have also been preeminarily verified.
00:45:22I looked Judge Harrison up online.
00:45:24He's been a family court judge for 14 years, and he has a solid reputation.
00:45:27I trust him to make a fair ruling.
00:45:29The court therefore finds that during the marriage, the plaintiff transferred and concealed marital asset.
00:45:33Charles, is there anything else you wish to add?
00:45:38Charles, is there anything else you wish to add?
00:45:40Jaden, Jasper, Dad, Dad knows he was wrong.
00:45:44Jaden.
00:45:44Don't say my name.
00:45:45You were never good to us.
00:45:46You called Mom that woman.
00:45:47You shoved her into the corner of the table and made her bleed.
00:45:50You even let that horrible woman wear Mom's favorite slippers.
00:45:53You let her use the mug we gave Mom.
00:45:55You're not a good dad at all.
00:45:56Jaden's right.
00:45:57Whenever we needed you, you were never there.
00:45:59I just want to stay with Mom now.
00:46:01I don't want to live with you.
00:46:03Charles, look at you now.
00:46:04I gave 10 years of my life to this family, and I gave my boys 10 years of love and
00:46:08care.
00:46:09That's why they're standing up for me today.
00:46:11But you treated your own children like tools to get what you wanted, so of course you ended up with
00:46:15nothing.
00:46:15Now it's time to repay everything you've owed me for the past 10 years.
00:46:18Based on the statements of both parties, the evidence presented and examined before this court, and the clearly expressed wishes
00:46:24of the two minor children, the court hereby enters the following judgment.
00:46:29The court hereby enters the following judgment.
00:46:31First, the marriage between the plaintiff Charles Anderson and the defendant Sophia Miller is here high dissolved.
00:46:3610 years, and it's finally over.
00:46:38Starting today, I'm no longer Mrs. Anderson.
00:46:40I'm Sophia Miller.
00:46:41And more importantly, I'm Jaden and Jasper's mom.
00:46:43Second, primary custody of Jaden and Jasper is awarded to the defendant Sophia Miller.
00:46:47The plaintiff Charles Anderson shall pay $12,000 per month in child support until both children reach the age of
00:46:5218.
00:46:53My boys, they're finally staying with me.
00:46:55I didn't take them away from him. They made their own choice. They chose me.
00:47:00Third, given the plaintiff's misconduct during the marriage, including his transfer of marial assets to a third party, the marital
00:47:05estate shall be divided unequally in accordance with the law.
00:47:07The plaintiff shall pay the defendant $6 million as her share of the marial estate in a lump sum within
00:47:1230 days after this judgment takes effect.
00:47:17Sophia, you deserve this.
00:47:18$6 million.
00:47:19Ten years of my youth, my tears, my dignity.
00:47:22The law finally gave back what he took from me.
00:47:25Fourth, due to the substantial amount of marital assets the plaintiff is suspected of concealing and transferring, the court will
00:47:30refer the relevant evidence to law enforcement for further investigation.
00:47:35Jaden, Jasper!
00:47:37Mom! Mom! We won! We don't have to go back there!
00:47:41You're not going back. I'll never make either of you go back to that place that never felt like a
00:47:44home again.
00:47:45Those two boys of yours, they're something special.
00:47:48They fought this battle for their mom.
00:47:50They've been carrying all of this for three years.
00:47:53Today, they can finally put it down.
00:47:56Mr. Anderson, we should go.
00:48:04Jaden, do you really hate your dad that much?
00:48:08Dad was wrong. I know that now. I really do.
00:48:11Jasper and I waited for you for nine years.
00:48:13We waited for you to come home for dinner.
00:48:15We waited for you to show up at parent-teacher conferences.
00:48:17We waited for you to hug us.
00:48:18Then I realized you weren't busy.
00:48:20You just didn't want to be there.
00:48:21So go back to your home.
00:48:22Mom, Jasper, and I are going back to ours.
00:48:25Mom, let's go.
00:48:29Sophia, you bitch!
00:48:31How dare you take my grandsons away from me?
00:48:37Sophia, you bitch!
00:48:39How dare you take my grandsons away from me?
00:48:41They made their own choice.
00:48:42You turned them against us!
00:48:44You poisoned their minds!
00:48:45Grandma, nobody told us what to think.
00:48:47We have eyes.
00:48:48We saw what happened.
00:48:49We have ears.
00:48:50We heard what he said.
00:48:51You, you're nine years old.
00:48:53What could you possibly understand?
00:48:54Your mother put you up to this.
00:48:55The only things I've taught my boys are to be honest, kind, and brave.
00:48:59Unlike you, I didn't raise my son to lie, cheat on his wife, and hide marital assets.
00:49:03Who the hell do you think you are, Sophia?
00:49:05You think you can take my grandsons away from this family?
00:49:08I'm their mother.
00:49:10I can take better care of them than your son ever could.
00:49:13And I love them more than he ever has.
00:49:15You think this is over just because the court ruled in your favor?
00:49:17We'll appeal.
00:49:18We'll drag this through every court we can.
00:49:21You're an orphan with no job and no money.
00:49:24How long do you think you can afford to fight the Anderson family?
00:49:27Your son secretly transferred $12 million in marital assets, and the court is already looking into it.
00:49:31And you want to appeal?
00:49:32On what grounds?
00:49:33You're not even a party to this case.
00:49:35You?
00:49:35Who the hell are you?
00:49:36This is Anderson family business!
00:49:37She's my attorney, and after ten years, she's also the closest thing I've had to family.
00:49:42Someone who isn't related to me by blood, but still chose to stand up for me.
00:49:46Charles!
00:49:47Get out here!
00:49:48Your mother is being attacked, and you're still sitting in there doing nothing?
00:49:55Charles!
00:49:56Look at that bitch!
00:49:57She's taking both of your sons away!
00:49:59Do something!
00:50:00Mom, just stop.
00:50:02What did you say?
00:50:03The judge already ruled.
00:50:04Both boys are going with her.
00:50:06And you can stand there and say that?
00:50:08I told you to fight for them, and this is what you call fighting?
00:50:11You let some woman with no family walk all over you?
00:50:14You've humiliated the entire Anderson family!
00:50:17Mom, just go home.
00:50:18Sophia!
00:50:19Don't think winning one case makes you untouchable.
00:50:21The Anderson family isn't done with you.
00:50:23Threaten me one more time.
00:50:24Go ahead.
00:50:25I'll report you for making threats.
00:50:28Grandma, if you keep this up, I'll give Judge Harrison a recording of this, too.
00:50:32Grandma, Dad chose another woman and hurt Mom.
00:50:35We're not going back.
00:50:35Mrs. Anderson, keep making threats, and you could end up in custody yourself.
00:50:40Want to go keep your son company?
00:50:42At least you'd get a family reunion.
00:50:43Mom, please stop.
00:50:45Let's just go.
00:50:46Shut up!
00:50:47You're useless!
00:50:48Your brother is getting torn apart, and you don't even have the guts to stand up for him!
00:50:52Sophia, you just wait.
00:50:53The Anderson family will appeal this as far as we have to.
00:50:57You won't see a dime.
00:50:58You and those two breaks can go sleep on the street.
00:51:02If the court-ordered payment isn't made within 30 days after the judgment takes effect,
00:51:06we'll freeze all your company's accounts, properties, and vehicles.
00:51:09So tell me, Mrs. Anderson, who's going to end up on the street then?
00:51:13Come on, boys.
00:51:13Let's go.
00:51:16It's gone.
00:51:17I've lost everything.
00:51:19What a mess.
00:51:20We had a family, and now it's all fallen apart.
00:51:23Ten years.
00:51:24I think this is the first time the sun has actually felt warm and the air has felt this good.
00:51:28Don't breathe too deep.
00:51:29I can still smell your ex-mother-in-law's perfume from here.
00:51:31It's enough to choke you.
00:51:33Can you not ruin the moment?
00:51:34Sophia, congratulations.
00:51:36You got your life back.
00:51:37Mom, I'm hungry.
00:51:39What do you want to eat?
00:51:40Chinese food, and I want something spicy.
00:51:43Since when can you handle spicy food?
00:51:44Then, can I just have a little spicy?
00:51:47That's what you said last time.
00:51:48And what happened?
00:51:49You drank a whole liter of milk and sat there with your tongue hanging out like a puppy.
00:51:52You're the puppy.
00:51:53You drank two liters, and you stole my Coke.
00:51:56Oh, my God.
00:51:57There they are.
00:51:58Actual nine-year-olds.
00:52:00Who were those two little grown-ups testifying in court earlier?
00:52:03These are my boys.
00:52:04They argue.
00:52:05They whine.
00:52:06They drive each other crazy.
00:52:07And when their mom needed them, they stood up in court like two brave little witnesses
00:52:12and protected me.
00:52:13All right, all right.
00:52:14Enough fighting.
00:52:15Come on.
00:52:16Let's go get Chinese food.
00:52:21That old hag and her two little brats are finally gone.
00:52:24This house, all of it.
00:52:26It's mine now.
00:52:26What the hell are you doing?
00:52:27You're divorced.
00:52:28Why keep all this garbage around?
00:52:29I lost the case.
00:52:31She got custody of both boys.
00:52:33You lost?
00:52:34Isn't that a good thing?
00:52:34If you're worried about that deal, we can borrow my brother's kids for a while and keep
00:52:38up appearances.
00:52:39You were always complaining that those two were in the way anyway.
00:52:42Now they're Sophia's problem.
00:52:43Isn't that what you wanted?
00:52:45Then someday, I'll give you a child.
00:52:47One that's ours.
00:52:48They found out about the money I transferred.
00:52:51The court ordered me to pay Sophia six million dollars.
00:52:53What?
00:52:54You said you had everything taken care of.
00:52:56You said you hired the best lawyers money could buy.
00:52:58How the hell did this happen?
00:52:59I lost.
00:53:01That's it.
00:53:01What about our place?
00:53:02The apartment at Victoria Gardens?
00:53:03They found that too.
00:53:05So what?
00:53:05It's in my name.
00:53:06What the hell does Sophia have to do with it?
00:53:08They traced the money I used to buy it.
00:53:10The court found that the funds involved marital assets.
00:53:13So after all that, you lost the case, you owe her six million, and now we might lose
00:53:17the apartment too?
00:53:17What the hell are you good for?
00:53:19Shut up.
00:53:20You're useless.
00:53:22I must have been out of my mind to waste all this time on you.
00:53:24I need to sell that apartment fast.
00:53:26That bitch isn't getting a dime out of it.
00:53:32Mine.
00:53:33Not anymore.
00:53:34Hey, you've already had five pieces.
00:53:36Six.
00:53:36Stop fighting.
00:53:37Here, eat this.
00:53:38Here, take this and stop stealing mine.
00:53:40Slow down.
00:53:41Nobody's taking your food.
00:53:43Michelle, pinch me.
00:53:44Why?
00:53:45I need to make sure I'm not dreaming.
00:53:47Ow.
00:53:48Well, it hurts, so wake.
00:53:49But don't get too comfortable yet.
00:53:50This isn't completely over.
00:53:51Leave enforcement of the judgment to me.
00:53:53I'll handle the paperwork.
00:53:54If Charles thinks he can hide assets to avoid paying you, he's got another thing coming.
00:53:58What about the false evidence and Betty's testimony?
00:54:00Everything related to that has been turned over to the proper authorities.
00:54:03Whether they open an investigation and where it goes from there is up to them.
00:54:05Is dad going to jail?
00:54:07That's for the authorities and the courts to decide, sweetheart.
00:54:10Not us.
00:54:10For now, you three can stay at my place and stop worrying about everything else.
00:54:14Okay.
00:54:15Sophia, you're free now.
00:54:16Go back to research if that's what you want.
00:54:18Date again someday if you feel like it.
00:54:19Live your life however you damn well please.
00:54:21Nobody gets to tell you no anymore.
00:54:23I just want the judgment enforced without any more surprises.
00:54:26Leave it to me.
00:54:27Tomorrow I'll come with you to get your things.
00:54:29Okay.
00:54:32Hello, Mr. Thompson.
00:54:33Mr. Anderson, we've looked into the situation.
00:54:35That happy, stable marriage you sold us is currently falling apart in divorce court.
00:54:39Integrity matters to us.
00:54:40If you were willing to lie to us about something this fundamental,
00:54:42why would we trust you with an $80 million contract?
00:54:45Please, let me explain.
00:54:46I do have a family.
00:54:47I have children.
00:54:48You deliberately concealed your divorce and presented yourself as a devoted husband and father.
00:54:51Now we know that wasn't true.
00:54:53We don't do business with people we can't trust.
00:54:55The deal is off.
00:54:56Permanently.
00:54:57No.
00:54:58The contract.
00:54:59It's gone.
00:55:01Everything's gone.
00:55:04Sophia, please, don't go through with the divorce.
00:55:06I can't lose you.
00:55:07I can't lose the boys.
00:55:08Let go of me.
00:55:09No, I know I was wrong.
00:55:10I know that now.
00:55:11Please, can't we just start over?
00:55:12You don't care about losing me.
00:55:13You care about losing $6 million in that $80 million contract.
00:55:16Wow, Charles.
00:55:17Where was this performance when we were in court?
00:55:20Sophia, I swear I'll change.
00:55:21I'll never yell at you again.
00:55:22I'll never insult you again.
00:55:23I'll give you $30,000 a month.
00:55:24No, $50,000.
00:55:25More if you want.
00:55:26Just, please, you and the boys, stay.
00:55:28No.
00:55:29You'll pay exactly what the court ordered, not a penny more.
00:55:33Jaden, Daddy was wrong.
00:55:34Please, tell your mom to come back.
00:55:36Stay away from us.
00:55:38Mom doesn't want to see you, and she definitely doesn't want you touching her.
00:55:41Jasper, you're starting second grade soon, right?
00:55:44I swear, from now on, I'll come to every parent-teacher conference.
00:55:47I'll never miss another one.
00:55:48I'll spend time with you every day, okay?
00:55:50Jaden and I are going into fourth grade.
00:55:54I...
00:55:54I'm sorry.
00:55:56Dad got it wrong.
00:55:57Enough, Charles.
00:55:58We're not here to listen to this.
00:56:00We're here to get our things.
00:56:04Charles, what are you doing?
00:56:07Sophia, if you won't take me back, I'll die right here in front of you.
00:56:13I'm recording this.
00:56:14Keep threatening me like this, and I'll take this video straight to the court and ask for a protective order.
00:56:17I'll also ask the judge to reconsider your visitation rights.
00:56:20What did you just say?
00:56:21You wouldn't dare.
00:56:21You're holding a broken bottle and threatening to hurt yourself in front of Sophia and your own children.
00:56:25You really think a judge is going to watch this and decide you're safe to be alone with those boys?
00:56:30Everything I did, I did for this family.
00:56:33Do you have any idea how exhausted I was?
00:56:35You're the one who tore this family apart.
00:56:38Jaden, Jasper, let's go upstairs and pack your things.
00:56:40Jaden, don't go.
00:56:42Please don't go.
00:56:43Just pack enough clothes for now.
00:56:45Leave the rest of this junk.
00:56:46We'll get you new stuff later.
00:56:48Okay.
00:56:50Jaden, Jasper, pack your school books and supplies.
00:56:52Okay.
00:56:57Jaden, I gave you that.
00:56:59It used to be your favorite.
00:57:01You don't want it anymore?
00:57:03Mom begged you for six months before you finally bought it.
00:57:06Don't you remember what you said back then?
00:57:11The two kids just want a doll.
00:57:14Could you buy one for them?
00:57:15Why the hell do they need another toy?
00:57:17I already spend enough money supporting you and those two kids.
00:57:20All their friends have one.
00:57:22They've been asking for one forever.
00:57:24Are you fucking kidding me with this again?
00:57:26You think it's easy making all this money?
00:57:29Just this once.
00:57:31Please.
00:57:31Take it out of the household budget.
00:57:34Now get the hell out of here and stop bothering me.
00:57:37Jaden, does Dad not love us?
00:57:43He doesn't love us.
00:57:44And he doesn't love Mom either.
00:57:47Don't.
00:57:48Don't hurt Mom.
00:57:49Mom?
00:57:50May 10th.
00:57:51Mom asked Dad to buy us a doll.
00:57:54Dad yelled at Mom.
00:57:56Mom cried.
00:57:57I'm going to protect Mom.
00:57:58I won't let anyone hurt her anymore.
00:58:02That's when I started keeping a diary.
00:58:04I wrote down every time Mom cried.
00:58:07And every awful thing you said to her.
00:58:09Three years.
00:58:10He's been writing all of this down for me since he was six?
00:58:13Jaden, I was under a lot of pressure at work back then.
00:58:16I had a temper.
00:58:17I...
00:58:18I didn't mean any of it.
00:58:21You two wait for me in the living room.
00:58:23Mommy just needs to grab a few things from the bedroom.
00:58:26Then we'll leave.
00:58:36Ten years of marriage.
00:58:38And this is all I have to pack.
00:58:39Ten years and this cheap bastard couldn't even buy his wife decent clothes.
00:58:43Sophia.
00:58:44Can't you just...
00:58:45No.
00:58:47I wore this thing for ten years.
00:58:49I can have it back.
00:58:51Hang on to it, Mr. Anderson.
00:58:53Even a pawn shop probably wouldn't take that thing.
00:58:55Then again, I guess the ring and its owner have that in common.
00:58:58Let's go.
00:59:03Sophia.
00:59:04Ten years of marriage.
00:59:05And you're really going to be this heartless?
00:59:07You were all alone when I met you.
00:59:09Have you forgotten who gave you a family?
00:59:11That's exactly why I fell for your lies.
00:59:13I was an orphan who wanted a family so badly, I believed every word you said.
00:59:17And because I had no family of my own,
00:59:19the Andersons walked all over me for ten whole years.
00:59:22For the boys.
00:59:24For the sake of keeping this family together.
00:59:26Can't you just give in for once?
00:59:27If it weren't for the boys, I wouldn't have stayed for a single day.
00:59:30You pushed two nine-year-old kids to the point where they had to make recordings,
00:59:33keep diaries, and collect evidence.
00:59:35Even they found the courage to stand up for themselves.
00:59:37If a few empty promises from you are enough to make me come calling back,
00:59:40then I don't deserve to call myself their mother.
00:59:41I just, Lydia fooled me.
00:59:43Please, can't you forgive me just this once?
00:59:45Save it, Charles.
00:59:45Don't make me say what I really think of you in front of the kids.
00:59:47You don't deserve to be forgiven.
00:59:49Mom, let's go.
00:59:50Mom, what about these pictures?
00:59:53You don't deserve to be in this family picture.
00:59:56Jaden, Jasper, Michelle, let's go.
01:00:11What are you looking at?
01:00:12Lydia's trying to sell the place at Victoria Gardens.
01:00:15She dropped the price 10%, listed at $3.48 million.
01:00:20She's getting desperate.
01:00:21I need to move faster on getting a court order to stop her from unloading that property.
01:00:25Exactly.
01:00:25We can't let her move the asset before the court can act.
01:00:27I'll push for emergency relief and make sure she can't transfer the property.
01:00:31Lee's the agent handling the listing.
01:00:32I've referred several clients to her before.
01:00:34I'll ask her to keep an eye on it and let me know the second Lydia tries to close a
01:00:37deal.
01:00:38There's the Sophia I remember.
01:00:39Looks like that brilliant brain of yours is finding me back online.
01:00:41Damn right.
01:00:42I'm not letting them get away with what they did.
01:00:44Sooner or later, they'll have to face the consequences.
01:00:46Take a look around.
01:00:46The natural light is amazing and all the furniture and appliances are practically brand new.
01:00:50I haven't even lived here six months.
01:00:51Not bad.
01:00:52I could see myself buying it.
01:00:53I'm leaving the country soon, so I need the full $3.48 paid at closing.
01:00:56That's fine.
01:00:57Let's see the contract.
01:00:58Great.
01:00:59Lee, get the paperwork.
01:01:01Stop.
01:01:02Don't sign that.
01:01:05Ma'am, don't sign that contract.
01:01:07This property was purchased with marital funds, and the money Charles used to buy it is already
01:01:11under investigation.
01:01:12That's right.
01:01:12If you sign now, you could be walking straight into a disputed transaction.
01:01:15Wait.
01:01:15What exactly is going on?
01:01:16Is there a problem with the title?
01:01:18Don't listen to her.
01:01:18She's crazy.
01:01:19She's just jealous of me, so she's been harassing me nonstop.
01:01:21This property is completely clean.
01:01:22I'm the only owner on the title.
01:01:24Lydia, what are we supposed to do here?
01:01:25Ma'am, I'm an attorney.
01:01:27The fact that the property is titled in Lydia's name doesn't necessarily settle the issue.
01:01:30The funds used to purchase it are already being disputed in court, and we're seeking
01:01:33an order to prevent the property from being sold or transferred.
01:01:35If you pay $3.48 million today and the court blocks the transfer, you could end up trapped
01:01:39in a legal mess.
01:01:40Are you sure that's a risk you want to take?
01:01:41What?
01:01:42The court could block the sale?
01:01:43She's bluffing.
01:01:43Don't let her scare you.
01:01:44My lawyer already looked everything over.
01:01:45This property is completely legal.
01:01:46Lydia, say something.
01:01:47Maybe you should clear this up with me first.
01:01:49Then we can talk about the sale.
01:01:50Fine.
01:01:50I'll sell it to you for $3 million.
01:01:52You won't find a deal like that anywhere else.
01:01:53If I weren't in such a hurry to leave the country, I'd never sell it this cheap.
01:01:57This is the court filing concerning the property, and I've already requested emergency relief
01:02:01to stop any sale or transfer while the disputed funds are being reviewed.
01:02:04So, ma'am, do you still want to buy it?
01:02:09Miss Hayes, I'm no longer interested in your property.
01:02:12Wait, don't go.
01:02:12I'll knock another $100,000 off.
01:02:14Half a million.
01:02:14We can close today.
01:02:15Do you think I'm an idiot?
01:02:16I'm not putting millions into a property that's tied up in a court dispute.
01:02:18Get your legal mess sorted out before you try selling it to someone else.
01:02:21Sophia, you bitch.
01:02:22You did this on purpose, didn't you?
01:02:24You're trying to destroy me.
01:02:26Lydia, you've been living in a home bought with marital money,
01:02:28wearing dresses my ex-heaven paid for,
01:02:30and rubbing it in my face for months.
01:02:32And now you're accusing me of destroying you?
01:02:34He bought those things for me because he wanted to.
01:02:36It's not my fault you couldn't keep your own husband interested.
01:02:39I don't need you judging my worth.
01:02:41At least every dollar I spend is mine to spend.
01:02:43Charles is about to answer for what he's done,
01:02:45and sooner or later, so will you.
01:02:49Actually, I'd say sooner.
01:02:50Lydia Hayes, I'm here to enforce a court order of seizing this property.
01:02:54What? Why?
01:02:55What right do you have to seize my house?
01:02:57This property is tied to Charles Anderson's embezzlement case.
01:02:59It's believed to have been purchased with illegally obtained funds.
01:03:02The court has ordered it seized.
01:03:04Charles Anderson's embezzlement case?
01:03:06I saw that on the news.
01:03:07It's been everywhere.
01:03:08Wait, she's the mistress?
01:03:09So she helped him move marital assets,
01:03:11and now they're seizing the house?
01:03:13Serves her right.
01:03:14I don't care if God himself shows up.
01:03:16Nobody is taking my house.
01:03:19Still trying to obstruct justice?
01:03:21Fine.
01:03:22Today I'm making sure justice gets done.
01:03:24Quick, record this!
01:03:25Put her all over social media and let everyone see what she did.
01:03:28Stop! Stop filming me!
01:03:29Anyone who keeps recording me, I'll sue you for invasion of privacy!
01:03:32What was that?
01:03:33You're gonna sue them?
01:03:35Funny, because I've got several wealthy men's wives who are lining up to sue you.
01:03:39Charles wasn't the only man you took money from, was he, Lydia?
01:03:41That's bullshit!
01:03:43I'll sue you for defamation!
01:03:45Leo, one house.
01:03:46Mark, one BMW.
01:03:48Jay, one commercial property.
01:03:50Stop reading that!
01:03:51Shut the hell up!
01:03:52Want me to call their wives too?
01:03:54I'm sure they'd love to hear where their husband's money went.
01:03:56And I'd be more than happy to represent them and help them recover every dollar they're legally entitled to.
01:04:01And I'd be happy to tell them exactly what I learned about fighting to get their assets back.
01:04:05You think you won?
01:04:06You're just some washed up old woman nobody wants.
01:04:09Your own husband would rather go to prison than stay with you.
01:04:13Get your facts straight.
01:04:14I left him.
01:04:14He didn't leave me.
01:04:15As for you, let's see who still wants you when all of this is over.
01:04:18Damn right!
01:04:18She had it coming!
01:04:19You reap what you sow.
01:04:20That's what happens when you build your life on someone else's marriage.
01:04:22Nice work!
01:04:26Let's go.
01:04:27One more second around her and I'm gonna be sick.
01:04:30Oh, Sophia.
01:04:32If you'd had this much fight in you ten years ago,
01:04:35my boys saved me.
01:04:37And they finally opened my eyes.
01:04:40All right, all right.
01:04:41Next step, we collect what your cheating ex owes you.
01:04:46And then I'm buying us a big house.
01:04:51You still have the nerve to sit there?
01:04:53Get those boys, get the money back.
01:04:54Don't give that bitch a single cent.
01:04:56Mom, the court already ruled.
01:04:58You're useless.
01:04:59You lost the case, you lost your children,
01:05:00and now you're letting a woman walk all over you?
01:05:02I begged her.
01:05:03I got down on my knees and begged her.
01:05:04It didn't work.
01:05:05Nothing worked.
01:05:06Those boys are Andersons.
01:05:07They belong with this family.
01:05:08Not with some woman who doesn't even have a family of her own.
01:05:10What the hell was I supposed to do?
01:05:11I even held a broken bottle to my own throat.
01:05:13If I push this any further,
01:05:14she'll use that video to ask for a protective order
01:05:16and have the court restrict my visitation.
01:05:17Those boys,
01:05:19they're the future of the Anderson family.
01:05:21Dad, please stop.
01:05:22Just take it easy.
01:05:24Breathe slowly.
01:05:25Look what you've done to your father.
01:05:26This family finally had twin boys,
01:05:28and you let that woman take both of them away.
01:05:30Then what the hell do you expect me to do?
01:05:33Do you want me to die?
01:05:34Charles Anderson,
01:05:35you're under arrest on suspicion of embezzling company funds,
01:05:39financial fraud, and witness tampering.
01:05:41We have a warrant for your arrest.
01:05:45Arrest me?
01:05:48What right do you have to arrest my son?
01:05:50Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?
01:05:51Let him go!
01:05:52Ma'am, step back.
01:05:53Interfere with this arrest again,
01:05:54and you'll be coming with us.
01:05:55Mom!
01:05:56Stop!
01:05:56Please!
01:05:57Sophia!
01:05:58You bitch!
01:05:59You destroyed the Anderson family!
01:06:03Dad!
01:06:04Dad, what's wrong?
01:06:06Dad!
01:06:06Wake up!
01:06:07Somebody call an ambulance!
01:06:09Look,
01:06:10Charles got arrested.
01:06:11It's blowing up all over social media.
01:06:13Oh.
01:06:13That's it?
01:06:14Oh?
01:06:15You're not excited?
01:06:15You don't want to celebrate?
01:06:16Pop open a bottle of wine?
01:06:18I used to think that when the day finally came
01:06:19and I saw him get what he deserved,
01:06:21I'd laugh.
01:06:22I'd drink.
01:06:22I'd drag you onto the dance floor and dance all night.
01:06:24But now that it's actually happened,
01:06:26it doesn't feel like anything.
01:06:27Whether he goes to prison or goes bankrupt,
01:06:29it won't give me those ten years back.
01:06:30I already gave him the best years of my life.
01:06:32But those ten years weren't for nothing.
01:06:33You got the two greatest boys in the world out of them.
01:06:35From today on,
01:06:36every second of your life belongs to you.
01:06:38You're right.
01:06:39So from now on,
01:06:40the boys and I are finally going to start our new life.
01:06:44What are you doing here?
01:06:45If you're here to cause trouble,
01:06:47we're calling the police.
01:06:47I'm not here to cause trouble.
01:06:49I heard Sophia had moved into a new place,
01:06:50so I just wanted to stop by.
01:06:52It's okay, Michelle.
01:06:52Let her in.
01:06:55Sophia, congratulations.
01:06:56Have a seat.
01:06:58You're not here to plead Charles' case, are you?
01:07:00Because if you are, don't bother.
01:07:02No, no, that's not why I'm here.
01:07:04Charles brought this on himself.
01:07:05After everything he did to Sophia and the boys,
01:07:07even as his sister, I can't defend him.
01:07:09He needs to answer for what he did.
01:07:11Whatever consequences he faces,
01:07:13he brought them on himself.
01:07:14Well, look at that.
01:07:15An Anderson who actually has some sense.
01:07:17Actually, there is something else I wanted to ask.
01:07:21Sophia, my dad, he's getting older,
01:07:23and his health has been getting worse.
01:07:25He really misses the boys.
01:07:26Would you consider letting Jaden and Jasper
01:07:28visit their grandpa once in a while?
01:07:29That's their decision.
01:07:30I'm not going to make it for them.
01:07:32No, maybe when I'm older.
01:07:36Okay, then we'll leave it up to you, boys.
01:07:38I won't bother you anymore.
01:07:40Sophia, I'm sorry.
01:07:42For everything this family put you through
01:07:43these past ten years, it's in the past now.
01:07:45Yeah, you deserve a better life.
01:07:49Never thought she'd be the most decent
01:07:50Anderson of the bunch.
01:07:56Everyone, I'd like you to meet Sophia Miller,
01:07:59our new senior research scientist.
01:08:01Sophia studied here ten years ago,
01:08:03and she was one of the most promising students
01:08:04I've ever mentored.
01:08:05Hi, everyone.
01:08:06I'm Sophia.
01:08:07It's great to meet you all.
01:08:08I'm really looking forward to working with you.
01:08:11Sophia, I've read those two papers you published
01:08:13in top journals back in grad school.
01:08:14They were way ahead of their time.
01:08:16Absolutely.
01:08:17We've been looking forward to having you back.
01:08:19What kind of wife spends all day holed up in a lab?
01:08:21What are you doing?
01:08:22That's my lab coat.
01:08:23Starting tomorrow, you're done.
01:08:24Quit the lab and stay home with the kids.
01:08:26Charles, I published two papers in top journals
01:08:28during grad school.
01:08:29Professor Quinn said I had real potential.
01:08:31I don't want to throw this opportunity away.
01:08:32What opportunity?
01:08:33I gave you a home.
01:08:34I made you Mrs. Anderson.
01:08:35Your job now is to take care of the kids in this house.
01:08:37I can work and take care of the boys.
01:08:38I can do both.
01:08:39I promise.
01:08:40Fine.
01:08:40Don't quit.
01:08:41I'll send the boys to my parents' estate
01:08:43and let my mother raise them.
01:08:44The Andersons can afford all the nannies we need.
01:08:46But once they're there,
01:08:48don't expect to see them again.
01:08:49Please, don't take my children away from me.
01:08:52Sophia, just do what I'm asking.
01:08:54I'm doing this for our family.
01:08:55Why does a wife and mother need a career in research?
01:08:58Put that energy into your family where it belonged.
01:09:00I finally understand now.
01:09:02Charles didn't marry me because he loved me.
01:09:03He married an orphan because I had no one to turn to.
01:09:06He knew I'd be easy to control.
01:09:07For ten years,
01:09:08he treated me like I was only there to give him children.
01:09:10He trapped me in that marriage.
01:09:11He never wanted a wife.
01:09:12He wanted someone he could control.
01:09:14And now,
01:09:15I've finally found myself again.
01:09:17Welcome back, Sophia.
01:09:19This is where you belong.
01:09:22Sophia, I've got some huge news.
01:09:24Oh, what is it?
01:09:25Remember those other married men Lydia was involved with?
01:09:27Their wives hired me to trace the assets
01:09:29their husbands secretly moved
01:09:30and see what they can recover.
01:09:33Congratulations.
01:09:34Sounds like you're about to make a fortune in legal fees.
01:09:36Damn right.
01:09:37They've actually started working together,
01:09:39and you were the one who inspired them.
01:09:41They're going after the husbands who betrayed them
01:09:43and fighting to recover
01:09:44whatever they're legally entitled to.
01:09:46Good.
01:09:47I hope they get what they're owed
01:09:49and then move on with their lives.
01:09:51Jasper,
01:09:52what is this vocabulary homework?
01:09:53You seriously don't know what fickle means?
01:09:55Sure I do.
01:09:56It means you find someone else you like
01:09:57and you don't live with them.
01:09:58What kind of definition is that?
01:09:59That's not what it means.
01:10:00Well,
01:10:02that's what dad did.
01:10:03And he's a bad guy.
01:10:04Shh.
01:10:05Don't let mom hear you.
01:10:07Just,
01:10:08don't talk about dad anymore, okay?
01:10:10What Charles did to them
01:10:11isn't something that's going to disappear overnight.
01:10:14But they're dealing with all that pain on their own.
01:10:17They hide it from me
01:10:18because they don't want me to be sad.
01:10:19Don't worry.
01:10:20Those two boys of yours
01:10:21are stronger than you think.
01:10:22If I had a choice,
01:10:23I wish they didn't have to grow up so fast.
01:10:25I wish they could just be
01:10:25carefree kids a little longer.
01:10:27Here,
01:10:27I'll help you with this one.
01:10:28And next time,
01:10:29don't just make up your own definition.
01:10:31Then,
01:10:31Jaden,
01:10:32what does fickle actually mean?
01:10:33It's
01:10:33when someone used to love someone,
01:10:35but then their feelings change.
01:10:36But why do people's feelings change?
01:10:39I never thought a nine-year-old
01:10:40could see straight to the heart of it.
01:10:42They've seen what a bad example looks like.
01:10:46That's why they know what a good one should be.
01:10:48Maybe,
01:10:48like on TV,
01:10:50they think they'll find someone better.
01:10:51Oh,
01:10:51okay.
01:10:52Then I'm not watching TV anymore.
01:10:54Let's just do the next question.
01:10:57Jaden,
01:10:58you're not going to change like that,
01:10:59are you?
01:11:00never.
01:11:01I'm your big brother.
01:11:02I'll always protect you and mom.
01:11:04And hear that?
01:11:05Those boys know exactly what matters.
01:11:07Yeah,
01:11:07better than I did.
01:11:08Jaden,
01:11:09Jasper,
01:11:10almost done with your homework.
01:11:11I'll cut up some fruit for you when you're finished.
01:11:13Almost.
01:11:14I want watermelon.
01:11:15You got it.
01:11:19Jaden,
01:11:20you're still keeping a diary?
01:11:21Mom,
01:11:21this one's new.
01:11:22Oh,
01:11:22what did you write?
01:11:23Can mommy see?
01:11:25Jaden,
01:11:26thank you.
01:11:27Mom,
01:11:27Jasper and I will always be here for you.
01:11:29We'll protect you.
01:11:30And I'll always be here for you and Jasper.
01:11:32I'll love and protect both of you no matter what.
01:11:33Mom?
01:11:36Jasper,
01:11:36what's wrong?
01:11:37Mom,
01:11:37I want to sleep with you tonight.
01:11:39You're nine years old and you still want to sleep with mom?
01:11:42I don't care.
01:11:43I'm sleeping with mom tonight.
01:11:45Okay,
01:11:45okay.
01:11:45You can sleep with me.
01:11:47Jaden,
01:11:47you come too?
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:51Mom?
01:11:51Hmm?
01:11:52In every life after this one,
01:11:54can you still be our mom?
01:11:56They said something like this when they were six.
01:11:59Mom,
01:12:00we met you up in heaven before we were born.
01:12:02Oh,
01:12:02really?
01:12:03There were tons of kids lined up,
01:12:04picking their moms.
01:12:05Jasper and I both wanted you.
01:12:07And then we started fighting over you.
01:12:09Neither of us would give up.
01:12:10Then,
01:12:10it ended in a tie.
01:12:12And somebody said,
01:12:13then why don't you both pick her to be your mom?
01:12:15They were only six.
01:12:16Maybe it was just a beautiful dream.
01:12:17But I'd rather believe that some people are simply meant to find each other.
01:12:20Thank you God for giving me these two incredible boys.
01:12:23I couldn't ask for anything more.
01:12:25Jaden,
01:12:26Jasper,
01:12:26time to sleep.
01:12:27Tomorrow's a brand new day.
01:12:29Mom,
01:12:29I love you.
01:12:30Mom,
01:12:31I love you too.
01:12:33Mommy loves you both too,
01:12:34more than anything in the world.
