the most interesting thing about Ethan is what he refuses to do.
He's a billionaire. He could clear every bill, buy the school, end every problem in Grace's life in an afternoon.
And he doesn't. He keeps showing up — quietly, at the right moments, offering something small — then leaves before it becomes a rescue.
That's deliberate, and the show lets you wonder. He isn't being coy — he's refusing to make her owe him.
Because the one thing Grace left her marriage to keep was her own decisions. A man who solves her life for her would take that back. So he brings groceries and leaves. He reaches the door and doesn't come in.
The whole romance is built on that restraint.
✨ What worked for me:
- Count how many times he offers, then withdraws.
✨ Bottom line: the most disciplined love interest yet.
would you have accepted the money?

00:09VIP student? Wow, you're actually insane. Tell me, where did you get the money for this school?
00:15You steal it again? Single moms are all the same. No wonder she's always so unstable.
00:23Look at them. Who lets trash like that set foot in our school?
00:25Kids from broken homes always turn out twisted. Son, stay away from her.
00:28I don't want to be friends with the thief. Go back to your trailer pack.
00:33Get out. Don't make me tell you twice.
00:39Yeah, liar. This place isn't for you.
00:42I didn't steal your glove. You just lost it and blamed me. Mommy!
00:54Lily!
01:00She pushed me! She's a monster!
01:03Teach her, Derek. Felt that, brat. Show her who's boss.
01:10This will shut you up.
01:18My name is Grace Bennett. I grew up in a small town in Texas.
01:23Six years ago, I moved to California with a man I loved.
01:30We never got the chance to get married, but he gave me the best thing in my life.
01:35Our daughter, Lily.
01:40Lily's going to love these.
01:41She's wanted to get into fencing for so long.
01:44And now I'm finally giving her gloves as a birthday gift.
01:57Why aren't you guys in uniform?
02:00Oh, our resident country bump-in hasn't heard?
02:02Ethan Callahan, the owner of this factory, is coming in for an inspection.
02:05If I get noticed by him, then bam! I'll be set for life.
02:09Don't even bother trying, Grace.
02:11You're a pathetic single mom working in a factory by day and babysitting at night.
02:15You don't stand a chance.
02:17Just stay out of our way.
02:24Oh, my God.
02:25He's really here?
02:31Stay out of my way, ladies!
02:33This man's all mine!
02:40What the hell is this?
02:42You didn't even bother to look him up?
02:45Mr. Callahan was seriously injured in Afghanistan in his early 20s.
02:48He's disabled now.
02:50God, he probably can't even get it up anymore.
02:53Ew, I bet he's limp as a rock down there.
02:56So you're saying I have to fake orgasms every time just for his money?
02:59No, thanks.
03:01No.
03:02Chloe, wait.
03:02Let's see how pathetic he really is.
03:13Oh, my God.
03:15Let's see this cripple eat shit.
03:17All that money and he still can't even stand on his own.
03:20He looks like he needs help.
03:33Stop staring.
03:35Give him some space.
03:36Let's see this.
03:38Let's see what he looks like.
03:41Oh, my God!
03:47Let's see what he lives in.
03:51Let's see what he likes.
03:51Oh, my God.
03:59He's ...
04:01Oh, my God!
04:05Thanks. I know that wasn't the smoothest entrance.
04:14Ma'am, thank you. That was remarkable.
04:26Wow, Mr. Callahan. That woman was amazing.
04:30Your dad's been pushing you to get married for years. Maybe you should ask her out?
04:34Zip it, Ryan. She could already be married for all we know.
04:39Her? Far from it. Grace is a nanny for the Sullivan family.
04:43Small town Texas girl, single mom, she's barely scratching by.
04:48So a single mom with a kid in tow? That's too much baggage.
04:52She's way below your station, Mr. Callahan.
04:56If she wants to marry me, her kid's not a burden. It's a bonus.
05:03Lily, Mommy got you your dream birthday gift.
05:12Baby, who made you kneel outside in the rain?
05:16God, you're burning up.
05:17Mommy, I didn't steal Kyle's gloves.
05:22But Grandma and Daddy didn't believe me.
05:26They called me a liar and a thief.
05:31Mommy believes you, okay? Mommy believes you.
05:37You're late. Where the hell have you been?
05:40And where's this week's paycheck?
05:41We're not running some kind of redneck charity here, you know?
05:47Who the hell made my daughter kneel outside in the rain?
05:50Grace, calm down. Lily took Kyle's gloves and wouldn't admit it.
05:53Just put her in a little timeout. She's fine.
05:56The kids, they bounce back.
05:57My daughter didn't steal anything!
06:09I wish Derek had never met you in that backwards Texas hellhole.
06:13Who used that damn kid of yours to trap you?
06:16Grace, she stole from Kyle and lied to us about him.
06:18What kind of kid does that?
06:20No, I really didn't steal the gloves.
06:23Mommy, am I a burden?
06:25I don't want to make you mad.
06:27Lily, Mommy believes you.
06:30You're not a burden.
06:31You're my whole world.
06:34Gosh, your fever's getting worse.
06:36Don't worry, Mom. Mommy's here.
06:38We're gonna go.
06:48Hey!
06:51Where do you think you're going?
06:52Get out of my way.
06:54Lily's burning up.
06:54I'm taking her to the hospital.
06:56The hospital?
06:57Do you even know what that costs?
06:58Or let me guess, you're gonna beg Derek to pay for it again?
07:00How can you say that?
07:02Lily's his daughter too.
07:03You two aren't even married.
07:06Which means that girl's not a Sullivan.
07:08She gets all that greed and stupidity of hers from you.
07:10It's in your blood!
07:11Lily is a thief!
07:12Lily is a thief!
07:13Get out of here, thief!
07:21Stay right here, baby.
07:34Enjoy your meal!
07:38You lunatic!
07:40So you're flipping tables now, are you?
07:42You've crossed the line this time, Grace.
07:44Six years ago, I followed you here to California.
07:48I dropped out of design school so you could stay in college.
07:52I worked double shifts in factories to pay your tuition and all your family's living expenses!
07:59I gave up my future so you could have yours as a supervisor.
08:02And you still tell everyone I'm just a nanny!
08:05I'm a lawyer, Grace.
08:07After all these years, you're still just a factory worker.
08:09And that's all you're ever going to be!
08:11What?
08:12No!
08:12I was the top of my class design school.
08:14I would have had a career in...
08:19Stupid drawings, all this random junk, this is just a bunch of useless, meaningless crap!
08:24And you, you're just a worthless nobody!
08:27Derek, you're nothing but a leech.
08:30Without me working night and day to cover your bills, your family would have nothing!
08:33They've already squeezed every single thing they could out of me!
08:37Derek, she's lost her mind!
08:41Mommy?
08:43Enough!
08:44I don't have the time to stand here arguing in circles with you.
08:47Get out of my way!
08:49Who the fuck said you could talk to me like that?
09:00Daddy, it's my fault! Don't be mad!
09:03Please don't hit mommy!
09:04Shut up, you little mistake.
09:07You're just as useless as your mom.
09:09You're a whining brat who never should have been born.
09:12Cry all you want, kid.
09:14It won't change what a disappointment you and your worthless mommy are.
09:19Give it back! That's my mommy's gift!
09:21You actually care about a stupid pair of gloves?
09:24That's so lame!
09:30Mommy! My gloves! Please!
09:32Milly!
09:35Milly!
09:39Sweetie!
09:40Sweetie, are you okay?
09:43Mommy?
09:44Mommy, it hurts.
09:48She'll be fine.
09:49She's got tough skin. One little bump won't kill her.
09:53Stop being so damn dramatic!
09:54You are a monster!
10:00I'm done with you and your heartless family.
10:02My daughter and I are leaving!
10:04If you leave, you can forget about me marrying you.
10:07God.
10:09This again.
10:10As if I actually care anymore.
10:12Mommy!
10:13I don't like grandma and daddy.
10:15They hit me.
10:17You're so mean to us.
10:20Mommy, let's go.
10:21I'll protect you now.
10:22I don't want you to get hurt again.
10:31Think carefully, Grace Bennett.
10:33Walk out and you're cutting all ties.
10:35No money, no help, no nothing.
10:38Admit you screwed up and I might, might take you back.
10:42Think about it.
10:44No one wants a single mom and a useless kid.
10:46You're nothing without me.
10:49I'll give you three seconds to start begging.
10:52Three!
10:57Two!
11:06I don't want our daughter to live a life like mine.
11:09She's my daughter too.
11:12I'll love and protect you both always.
11:14I promise.
11:16One!
11:19We want nothing to do with you, Derek.
11:22We're done!
11:23Fine, be that way!
11:25But now you've really pissed me off this time!
11:38By the way, if you hadn't kept nagging to take that stupid photo that day, I would never have bothered
11:43posing next to burdens like you.
11:47It's always the people you're closest to have ever even lost.
12:11It's always the people you're closest to have ever even lost.
12:15I'm sorry, sweetie. Mommy didn't protect you.
12:23Mommy, don't cry. I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
12:50Mr. Callahan, what are you?
12:52Grace Bennett, will you marry me?
12:57Let me be your shield for you and your daughter.
13:02Did you say you want to marry me?
13:04Ms. Bennett, I'm Ethan Callahan, CEO of Callahan Group.
13:08And I'm dead serious about this proposal.
13:13But why me?
13:15You're a big-shot CEO.
13:17And I'm just a warehouse worker with a kid.
13:21I need a wife.
13:23And you helped me out before.
13:26Now, let me return the favor.
13:29Let me protect you.
13:30I helped you?
13:55I'm not looking for a flame. I'm looking for a family.
13:58Let me give you both the life you deserve.
14:03Everything I have will be yours.
14:09Think carefully, Grace Bennett!
14:11Walk out, and you're cutting all ties.
14:13No money, no help, no nothing!
14:19Lately, my father won't stop pushing me to get married.
14:24But I want someone worth making a life with.
14:29So, what do you say we give it a shot?
14:40If you're going to marry my mom, that means you'll be my new daddy.
14:46Mommy, I like him.
14:48He makes me feel like I'm his family.
14:52I love for us to all be family, but I come with a bit of baggage.
15:00My legs, they're in bad shape.
15:05The docs say I might never recover.
15:09I get it if you say no.
15:12I'm kind of a mess.
15:17A mess.
15:19It can't be worse than scraping by,
15:22hungry half the time,
15:24or getting kicked out in the dead of night
15:26by the asshole father of your child.
15:37Yes.
15:38I'll marry you.
15:48I can't believe I'm actually married.
15:51I can't believe I'm actually married.
16:02Sorry.
16:03I didn't mean to...
16:06No worries.
16:07My legs,
16:08they can't feel a thing anyway.
16:11I'm going to fix this.
16:13I'll get him walking again.
16:14I noticed Lily really likes fencing,
16:17so I arranged a spot for her in the first grade class
16:20at Maplefield Independent School.
16:21It'll give the best education to your daughter.
16:23Or should I say,
16:25our daughter.
16:27Oh my God.
16:29Maplefield?
16:30One year's tuition is equal to ten years of me and Derek's pay.
16:34I couldn't even book a tour the last time I tried.
16:39You ready to go home with me?
16:41Let's make it our home.
16:43For the three of us.
16:45Yes.
16:46Sure, yeah, our home.
16:50Grandma!
16:52I'm hungry!
16:55Vanessa!
16:56Did Grace not come back to cook?
16:59Ugh, yesterday's clothes are still filthy.
17:02She and that little bastard kid,
17:04they both just vanished into thin air.
17:06Hate to say I told you so,
17:08but with an attitude like hers,
17:10what can we expect?
17:13When you see her,
17:14tell her to cook and do the laundry ASAP.
17:17Then make her sit outside for an hour
17:19and reflect on what she's done.
17:21Gotta rent her in,
17:22no matter what it takes.
17:23I'll make sure she never runs away again.
17:28She's been missing for a full day now,
17:30already.
17:30What if she doesn't come back?
17:32No way she's going back to the sticks.
17:34She even asked me about sending Lily to Maplefield,
17:37as if that little brat belongs
17:38in the best school in California.
17:40If anyone deserves to go to Maplefield,
17:42it's Kyle.
17:42A kid like him needs the best school around.
17:45Why can't we send him to Maplefield?
17:47It's the cream of the crop.
17:48Mom, are you crazy?
17:50You can't even get through the front doors of Maplefield
17:52without a personal recommendation.
17:54We've been on the waiting list forever.
17:57Didn't your CEO visit yesterday?
17:59Ethan Callahan?
18:00Go butter him up.
18:01See if he'll give us a recommendation for Kyle.
18:05Mr. Callahan's untouchable.
18:07I can't even get near him.
18:11I'll call again this week
18:12and see if we can have this book a school tour.
18:21This place is enormous.
18:26Lily, your mom said you love fencing.
18:29I got these for you.
18:33What do you think?
18:34Wow, I love them!
18:39Oh no, sorry.
18:44Here, let me clean you up.
18:59Wait, I can do this.
19:01Besides, we have maids.
19:04You married me so I could help you, right?
19:07So, let me.
19:19God, our touch.
19:21When was the last time
19:23I felt this alive?
19:28God, no.
19:44Ethan, you're hard.
19:47No, stop.
19:48No, let me see.
19:49Ethan, this is a good thing, right?
19:51That means you are fencing.
19:52Stop touching me, Grace.
19:54Let me see.
19:54Ethan, if you keep this up,
19:56I can't guarantee I won't.
20:04Oh my God.
20:09Why do I kind of
20:10want to kiss him again?
20:12A real one this time.
20:16Mommy?
20:17Ethan?
20:18What are you doing in there?
20:19Uh, that I...
20:20It's progress.
20:22I should get Lily to bed.
20:24We still have to
20:25take her to school tomorrow.
20:26Good night.
20:37Mr. and Mrs. Callahan,
20:39welcome.
20:40Mr. Miller,
20:40good to see you.
20:41This is my daughter, Lily.
20:43Hi, Mr. Miller.
20:45He just
20:46claimed her as his daughter.
20:49Heard you married a country girl
20:50and had a kid with her?
20:51Bring him out sometime.
20:55Nah, I don't have a wife.
20:57Just a nanny at home,
20:58nothing more.
21:01Derek hit us
21:02like we were nothing to him.
21:03But Ethan,
21:04he's proud of us.
21:05Maybe
21:06he's the caring husband
21:07I deserve.
21:08And a loving father,
21:09Lily's always known.
21:12All right,
21:13everything's set.
21:14Are you going to show you around?
21:15Sure, thanks.
21:17Or maybe we could go
21:18take a look on our own?
21:20You two go explore.
21:21I'll finish the paperwork here.
21:32Mr. Miller,
21:33I'm donating a fencing center to you.
21:35Lily loves fencing,
21:36but she hasn't been able
21:37to receive proper training.
21:39I want her to have
21:40the best education
21:41you can offer.
21:41And we'll make sure
21:42she gets it.
21:43You really do love
21:44your wife and daughter,
21:44don't you?
21:46Of course,
21:47nothing's more precious
21:48for me than my family.
21:56Oh,
21:56my God!
21:57This place is so fancy!
22:00Vanessa,
22:01we have to get Kyle
22:02enrolled here.
22:03Well,
22:03we're only allowed
22:03to visit for now.
22:04Schools like this
22:05don't open yours
22:05for just anyone.
22:07Hi!
22:09Would you happen
22:10to be Lily
22:10and Mrs. Callahan?
22:11I'm Nora Williams,
22:12Lily's teacher.
22:13Yes,
22:14nice to meet you.
22:16Is...
22:17Is that Grace?
22:19Don't bring up
22:20that filthy nanny.
22:20You could work
22:21her ass off here
22:22to learn your security
22:22and still shut her out.
22:24Wait,
22:25Grace?
22:25Why is she here?
22:34Grace,
22:35you ghosted us
22:35for days.
22:36Where the hell
22:37have you been?
22:38It's none of your business.
22:40Lily,
22:41head inside
22:42your business room.
22:46Are you insane?
22:48Do you think
22:48your little brat
22:49can just waltz
22:50into Maplefield?
22:51Don't screw this up.
22:52We're here for Kyle,
22:53okay?
22:54Get your ass home now
22:55and maybe I'll think
22:56about marrying you.
22:57How many times
22:57do I have to say it?
22:58We are over!
23:02Let's go, Lily!
23:05You trashy little hillbillies
23:08with your feet
23:09of a daughter.
23:10How'd you sneak in, huh?
23:12Hey, you!
23:13Get these trespassers
23:14out of here!
23:15What's happening?
23:16Are they
23:17pretending
23:18to be people they're not?
23:19You two wait here.
23:20I'm going to check
23:20with your intel.
23:21Security's on their way.
23:23Get lost
23:23before they drag you
23:24out of here.
23:25Let go of my daughter!
23:27Let go of me!
23:28Mommy, help me!
23:30Lily's a student here!
23:31Let her go
23:32or I will call security!
23:34Shut your trap!
23:35Help me!
23:36I pulled every string
23:37I had
23:38just to get Kyle
23:39a tour here.
23:40Derek,
23:41get that lunatic
23:42of yours in line!
23:43Don't let her ruin
23:44Kyle's chances
23:44for admission!
23:47Don't make a scene.
23:49One more word
23:50and security
23:50will haul us all out.

27:13Show her who's boss!
27:18This will shut you up.
27:26My name is Grace Benin.
27:28I grew up in a small town in Texas.
27:30Six years ago,
27:31I moved to California
27:32with the man I loved.
27:38We never got the chance
27:39to get married,
27:40but he gave me
27:41the best son of my life.
27:42Our daughter, Lily.
27:47Lily's gonna love these.
27:49She's wanted to get into fencing
27:50for so long.
27:51And now I'm finally giving her gloves
27:53as a birthday gift.
28:04Why aren't you guys in uniform?
28:07Oh, our resident country bump-in
28:09hasn't heard?
28:10Ethan Callahan,
28:11the owner of this factory,
28:12is coming in for an inspection.
28:13If I get noticed by him,
28:14then bam!
28:14I'll be set for life!
28:17Don't even bother trying, Grace.
28:19You're a pathetic single mom
28:20working in a factory by day
28:21and babysitting at night.
28:23You don't stand a chance.
28:24Just stay out of our way.
28:31Oh, my God.
28:33He's really here?
28:39Stay out of my way, ladies!
28:40This man's all mine!
28:48What the hell is this?
28:49You didn't even bother
28:51to look him up?
28:52Mr. Callahan was seriously injured
28:54in Afghanistan in his early 20s.
28:56He's disabled now.
28:58God, he probably can't even
28:59get it up anymore.
29:01Ew!
29:02I bet he's limp as a rock down there.
29:04So you're saying I have to fake
29:05orgasms every time
29:06just for his money?
29:07No thanks.
29:09No.
29:10Chloe, wait.
29:10Let's see how pathetic
29:11he really is.
29:21Oh, my God.
29:23Let's see this cripple eat shit.
29:24All that money
29:25and he still can't even
29:26stand on his own.
29:28He looks like he needs help.
29:41Stop staring.
29:42Give him some space.
29:43Stop staring.
29:44Give him some space.
30:12Thanks.
30:13I know that wasn't the smoothest entrance.
30:22Ma'am, thank you.
30:24That was remarkable.
30:33Wow, Mr. Tallahan.
30:36That woman was amazing.
30:38Your dad's been pushing you to get married for years.
30:41Maybe you should ask her out?
30:41Zip it, Ryan.
30:44She could already be married for all we know.
30:46Her? Far from it.
30:49Grace is a nanny for the Sullivan family.
30:51Small town Texas girl, single mom.
30:53She's barely scratching by.
30:56So a single mom with a kid in tow?
30:58That's too much baggage.
30:59She's way below your station, Mr. Callahan.
31:03If she wants to marry me, her kid's not a burden.
31:07It's a bonus.
31:11Lily?
31:12Mommy got you your dream birthday gift.
31:20Baby, who made you feel outside of the race?
31:23God, you're burning up.
31:25Mommy, I didn't steal Kyle's gloves.
31:29But Grandma and Daddy didn't believe me.
31:34They called me a liar and a thief.
31:39Mommy believes you, okay?
31:41Mommy believes you.
31:45You're late!
31:46Where the hell have you been?
31:47And where's this week's paycheck?
31:49We're not running some kind of redneck charity here, you know?
31:54Who the hell made my daughter kneel outside in the race?
31:57Grace, calm down.
31:59Lily took Kyle's gloves and wouldn't admit it.
32:01We just put her in a little time-out.
32:02She's fine.
32:03You know, kids, they bounce back.
32:05My daughter didn't steal anything!
32:16I wish Derek had never met you in that backwoods Texas hellhole.
32:20You used that damn kid of yours to trap him.
32:23Grace, she stole from Kyle and lied to us about it.
32:26What kind of kid does that?
32:27No, I really didn't steal the gloves.
32:30Mommy, am I a burden?
32:32I don't want to make you mad.
32:35Lily, Mommy believes you.
32:37You're not a burden.
32:39You're my whole world.
32:42Gosh, your fever's getting worse.
32:44Don't worry, Lily.
32:44Mama's here.
32:46We're gonna go.
32:56Hey!
32:58Where do you think you're going?
33:00Get out of my way.
33:01Lily's burning up.
33:02I'm taking her to the hospital.
33:03The hospital?
33:04Do we even know what that costs?
33:06Or let me guess, you're gonna beg Derek to pay for it again?
33:08How can you say that?
33:09Lily's his daughter, too.
33:11You two aren't even married.
33:13Which means that girl's not a Sullivan.
33:15She gets all that greed and stupidity of hers for you.
33:18It's in your blood!
33:19Lily is a thief!
33:20Lily is a thief!
33:21Get out of here, thief!
33:28Stay right here, baby.
33:42Enjoy your meal!
33:46You lunatic!
33:47So you're flipping tables now, are you?
33:49You've crossed the line this time, Grace.
33:51Six years ago, I followed you here in California.
33:55I dropped out of design school so you could stay in college.
33:59I worked double shifts in factories to pay your tuition and all your family's living expenses.
34:07I gave up my future so you could have yours as a supervisor, and you still tell everyone I'm just
34:12the nanny.
34:12Look in the mirror, Grace.
34:14After all these years, you're still just a factory worker, and that's all you're ever going to be.
34:19What?
34:19No!
34:20I was the top of my class design school.
34:22I would have had a career in...
34:26You mean these stupid drawings?
34:27All this random junk?
34:29This is just a bunch of useless, meaningless crap!
34:31And you?
34:32You're just a worthless nobody!
34:34Derek?
34:36You're nothing but a leech.
34:37Without me working night and day to cover your bills, your family would have nothing.
34:41They've already squeezed every single thing they could out of me.
34:44Derek?
34:45She's lost her mind!
34:51Enough!
34:52I don't have the time to stand here arguing in circles with you.
34:55Get out of my way.
34:57Who the fuck said you could talk to me like that?
35:08Daddy, it's my fault! Don't be mad!
35:10Please don't hit Mommy!
35:12Please don't hit Mommy!
35:12Shut up, you little mistake.
35:14You're just as useless as your mom.
35:16You're a whining brat who never should have been born.
35:20Cry all you want, kid.
35:21It won't change what a disappointment of you and your worthless Mommy are.
35:27Give it back! That's my Mommy's gift!
35:29You actually care about a stupid pair of gloves?
35:31That's so lame!
35:37Mommy!
35:38My gloves!
35:40Please!
35:40Lily!
35:46Sweetie?
35:48Sweetie, are you okay?
35:50Mommy?
35:52Mommy, it hurts.
35:53Please!
35:55She'll be fine.
35:57She's got tough skin.
35:58One little bump won't kill her.
36:00Stop being so damn dramatic!
36:02You are a monster!
36:07I'm done with you and your heartless family!
36:10My daughter and I are leaving!
36:11If you leave, you can forget about me marrying you!
36:16This again.
36:18As if I actually care anymore.
36:20Mommy!
36:21I don't like Grandma and Daddy!
36:23They hit me!
36:24They're so mean to us!
36:27Mommy, let's go!
36:29I'll protect you now!
36:30I don't want you to get hurt again!
36:32Let's go!
36:38Think carefully, Grace Bennett!
36:40Walk out!
36:41And you're cutting all ties!
36:43No money, no help, no nothing!
36:46Admit you screwed up, and I might, might take you back!
36:50Think about it!
36:51No one wants a single mom and a useless kid!
36:54You're nothing without me!
36:56I'll give you three seconds to start begging!
37:00Three!
37:01No!
37:01No!
37:02No!
37:02No!
37:02No!
37:02No!
37:02No!
37:09Two!
37:14I don't want our daughter to live a life like mine!
37:17She's my daughter, too.
37:19I'll love and protect you both, always.
37:21I promise.
37:24One!
37:27We want nothing to do with you, Derek!
37:29We're done!
37:31Fine!
37:31Be that way!
37:32But now you've really pissed me off this time!
37:45By the way, if you hadn't kept nagging to take that stupid photo that day,
37:50I would never have bothered posing next to burdens like you.
37:55It's always the people closest to you that act the most.
38:23I'm sorry, sweetie.
38:24Mommy didn't protect you.
38:28I'm sorry, sweetie.
38:29Mommy didn't protect you.
38:30Mommy, don't cry.
38:32I'm sorry.
38:34It's all my fault.
38:57Mr. Callahan?
38:58What are you...
38:59Grace Bennett.
39:01Will you marry me?
39:04Let me be your shield
39:07for you and your daughter.
39:09Did you say you want to marry me?
39:12Miss Bennett,
39:13I'm Ethan Callahan,
39:14CEO of Callahan Group.
39:16And I'm dead serious about this proposal.
39:21But why me?
39:22You're a big-shot CEO.
39:25And I'm just a warehouse worker
39:26with a kid.
39:27I need a wife.
39:31And you helped me out before.
39:34Now, let me return the favor.
39:36Let me protect you.
39:38I helped you?
40:03I'm not looking for a fling.
40:04I'm looking for a family.
40:06Let me give you both the life you deserve.
40:10Everything I have will be yours.
40:16Think carefully, Grace Bennett.
40:18Walk out, and you're cutting all ties.
40:21No money, no help, no nothing.
40:27Lately, my father won't stop pushing me to get married.
40:31But I want someone worth making a life with.
40:37So, what do you say we give it a shot?
40:48If you're going to marry my mom,
40:50that means you'll be my new daddy.
40:54Mommy, I like him.
40:55He makes me feel like I'm his family.
41:00I'd love for us to all be family, but
41:04I come with a bit of baggage.
41:08My legs,
41:11they're in bad shape.
41:13Docs say I might never recover.
41:17I get it if you say no.
41:20I'm kind of a mess.
41:24A mess.
41:26Can't be worse than scraping by,
41:29hungry half the time,
41:31or getting kicked out in the dead of night
41:33by the asshole father of your child.
41:45Yes, I'll marry you.
41:56I can't believe I'm actually married.
42:09Sorry.
42:11I didn't mean to.
42:13No worries.
42:15My legs,
42:16they can't feel a thing anyway.
42:18I'm going to fix this.
42:20I'll get him walking again.
42:22I noticed Lily really likes fencing,
42:24so I arranged a spot for her
42:26in a first grade class
42:27at Maplefield Independent School.
42:29He'll give the best education to your daughter.
42:31Or should I say,
42:33our daughter.
42:34Oh my God.
42:36Maplefield?
42:38One year's tuition
42:39is equal to ten years
42:40of me and Derek's pay.
42:42I couldn't even book a tour
42:43the last time I tried.
42:47Ready to go home with me?
42:49Let's make it our home.
42:50For the great ones.
42:53Yes.
42:54Sure, yeah.
42:55Our home.
42:58Grandma, I'm hungry.
43:02Vanessa!
43:04Did Grace not come back to cook?
43:06Ugh, yesterday's clothes are still filthy.
43:09She and that little bastard kid,
43:11they both just vanished into thin air.
43:14Hate to say I told you so,
43:15but with an attitude like hers,
43:17what can you really expect?
43:20When you see her,
43:22tell her to cook and do the laundry ASAP.
43:25Then make her sit outside for an hour
43:27and reflect on what she's done.
43:29Gotta rent her in,
43:30no matter what it takes.
43:31I'll make sure she never runs away again.
43:35She's been missing her for a full day now,
43:37already.
43:38What if she doesn't come back?
43:39Oh, please.
43:40No way she's going back to the sticks.
43:42She even asked me about sending Lily to Maplefield,
43:44as if that little brat belongs
43:46in the best school in California.
43:47If anyone deserves to go to Maplefield,
43:49it's Kyle.
43:50A kid like him needs the best school around.
43:52Why can't we send him to Maplefield?
43:54It's the cream of the crop.
43:56Ma, are you crazy?
43:57You can't even get through
43:58the front doors of Maplefield
44:00without a personal recommendation.
44:02We've been on the waiting list forever.
44:04Didn't your CEO visit yesterday?
44:07Ethan Callahan?
44:08Go butter him up.
44:09See if he'll give us a recommendation for Kyle.
44:12Mr. Callahan's untouchable.
44:14I can't even get near him.
44:18I'll call again this week
44:20and see if we can at least book a school tour.
44:28This place is enormous.
44:33Lily, your mom said you love fencing.
44:36I got these for you.
44:41What do you think?
44:42Wow, I love them!
44:46Oh no, sorry.
44:51Here, let me, let me clean.
45:06Wait, I can do this.
45:09Besides, when you leave, we have maids.
45:12You married me so I could help you, right?
45:15So, let me?
45:27God, your touch.
45:28When was the last time I felt this alive?
45:35God, no.
45:45I, I...
45:52Ethan, you're hard.
45:54No, no, stop.
45:55No, let me see.
45:56Ethan, this is a good thing, right?
45:58That means you are progressing.
46:00Stop touching me, Grace.
46:01Let me see, Ethan.
46:03If you keep this up, I can't guarantee I...
46:12Oh my god.
46:17Why do I kind of want to kiss him again?
46:20A real one this time.
46:22Grace.
46:24Mommy?
46:24Ethan?
46:25What are you doing in there?
46:27Uh, that I...
46:28It's progress.
46:30I should get Lily to bed.
46:32We, we still have to take her to school tomorrow.
46:34Good night.
46:45Mr. and Mrs. Callahan, welcome.
46:47Mr. Miller, good to see you.
46:49This is my daughter, Lily.
46:51Hi, Mr. Miller.
46:52He just claimed her as his daughter.
46:57Heard you married a country girl and had a kid with her?
46:59Bring him out sometime.
47:03Nah, I don't have a wife.
47:05Just a nanny at home, nothing more.
47:09Derek hit us like we were nothing to him.
47:11But Ethan, he's proud of us.
47:13Maybe he's the caring husband I deserve.
47:16And the loving father, Lily, is always in peace.
47:20All right, everything's set.
47:22Want me to show you around?
47:23Sure, thanks.
47:24Or maybe we could go take a look on our own?
47:28You two go explore.
47:29I'll finish the paperwork here.
47:40Mr. Miller, I'm donating a fencing center to you.
47:43Lily loves fencing, but she hasn't been able to receive proper training.
47:47I want her to have the best education you can offer.
47:49And we'll make sure she gets it.
47:50You really do love your wife and daughter, don't you?
47:53Of course, nothing's more precious to me than my family.
48:03Oh, my God!
48:05This place is so fancy!
48:08Vanessa, we have to get Kyle enrolled here.
48:10But we're only allowed to visit for now.
48:12Schools like this don't have a divorce for just anyone.
48:15Hi!
48:16Would you happen to be Lily and Mrs. Callahan?
48:19I'm Nora Williams, Lily's teacher.
48:21Yes, nice to meet you.
48:24Is...
48:25Is that Grace?
48:26Don't bring up that filthy name.
48:28You even worked her ass off to get a tour near security and still shut her out.
48:32Wait, Grace?
48:33Why is she here?
48:42Grace, you ghosted us for days.
48:44Where the hell have you been?
48:46It's none of your business.
48:48Lily, head inside with Mrs. Lily.
48:53Are you insane?
48:55Do you think your little brat can just waltz into Maplefield?
48:59Don't screw this up.
49:00We're here for Kyle, okay?
49:01Get your ass home now.
49:03Maybe I'll think about Mary.
49:04How many times do I have to say it?
49:06We are over.
49:09Let's go, Lily.
49:13Crashy little hillbilly.
49:15With your thief of a daughter.
49:18How'd you sneak in, huh?
49:20Hey, you!
49:20Get these trespassers out of here!
49:22Shh, what's happening?
49:23Are they pretending to be people they're not?
49:26You two wait here.
49:27I'm going to check this out.
49:29Security's on their way.
49:30Get lost before they drag you out of here.
49:32Let go of my daughter!
49:34Let go of me!
49:36Mommy, help me!
49:37Lily's a student here!
49:39Let her go, or I will call security!
49:41Shut your trap!
49:43I'm sorry!
49:44I took every string I had just to give Kyle a tour here.
49:48Derek, get that lunatic of yours in line.
49:50Don't let her ruin Kyle's chances for admission.
49:55Don't make a scene.
49:56One more word and security will haul us all out.
50:00Mommy!
50:01Help!
50:03Mommy!
50:08Derek, I'm warning you.
50:10Lily's not your daughter anymore!
50:12And my daughter is not a thief.
50:15She's a VIP student here.
50:19She's a VIP student.
50:25Wow, you're actually insane.
50:27Tell me, where did you get the money for this school?
50:30You steal it again?
50:32Single moms are all the same.
50:35No wonder she's always so unstable.
50:38Look at them.
50:39Who lets trash like that set foot in our school?
50:40Kids from broken homes always turn out twisted.
50:42Son, stay away from her!
50:43I don't want to be friends with the thief.
50:45Go back to your trailer pack.
50:48Get out.
50:49Don't make me tell you twice.
50:54Yeah, liar.
50:55This place isn't for you.
50:57I didn't steal your glove.
50:58You just lost it and blamed me.
51:01Mommy!
51:15She pushed me!
51:16She's a monster!
51:18Teach her, Derek!
51:19Belt that, brat!
51:20Show her who's boss!
51:25This will shut you up.
51:28Mr. Callahan, I promise your daughter will be well taken care of here.
51:36Mr. Callahan, it's really him?
51:38So, that was his wife and daughter just now?
51:41What happened?
51:42Mr. Callahan, your wife got in a fight at the entrance.
51:46Someone's hurting her and your daughter.
51:47Get me there.
51:49Now.
51:50Somebody help!
51:52Save us!
51:55Grace, today is time for a whole history of your child.
51:58Learn your place.
51:59Mommy!
52:00Let go of my mommy!
52:02Let go of my mommy!
52:07Get your filthy hands off my wife and daughter!
