00:00:00She's a VIP student here!
00:00:02Tell me, where did you get the money for this school?
00:00:04That country bumpin' single mom?
00:00:06What kind of man would even give her the time of day?
00:00:07Because I got married.
00:00:09My husband is Mr. Callahan.
00:00:11Because everything she said is true.
00:00:13I am Grace Bennett's husband.
00:00:16Callahan? As in the Callahans? The richest family in America?
00:00:20So that was his wife and daughter just now?
00:00:22Oh man, what have I done?
00:00:24I'm donating a fencing center to you.
00:00:25I want her to have the best education you can offer.
00:00:28I promise, your daughter will be well taken care of here.
00:00:31Don't ever let me see them set foot here again.
00:00:33Weird.
00:00:39My name is Grace Bennett.
00:00:41I grew up in a small town in Texas.
00:00:43Six years ago, I moved to California with the man I loved.
00:00:51We never got the chance to get married,
00:00:53but he gave me the best thing in my life.
00:00:55Our daughter, Lily.
00:01:00Lily's gonna love these.
00:01:02She's wanted to get into fencing for so long,
00:01:04and now I'm finally giving her gloves as a birthday gift.
00:01:08Why aren't you guys in uniform?
00:01:11Oh, our resident country bumpin' hasn't heard?
00:01:14Ethan Callahan, the owner of this factory,
00:01:15is coming in for an inspection.
00:01:17If I get noticed by him, then BAM!
00:01:18I'll be set for life!
00:01:21Don't even bother trying, Grace.
00:01:23You're a pathetic single mom working in a factory by day
00:01:25and babysitting at night.
00:01:27You don't stand a chance.
00:01:28Just stay out of our way.
00:01:34Oh, my God!
00:01:35He's really here?
00:01:37I know!
00:01:46What the hell is this?
00:01:48You didn't even bother to look him up?
00:01:51Mr. Callahan was seriously injured in Afghanistan in his early 20s.
00:01:54He's disabled now.
00:01:56God, he probably can't even get it up anymore.
00:02:00Ew!
00:02:02Hey, you're sorry.
00:02:03I have to pay screen.
00:02:08Oh, my God.
00:02:09Let's see this cripple eat shit.
00:02:11All that money, and he still can't even stand on his own.
00:02:14He looks like he needs help.
00:02:27Stop staring!
00:02:29Give him some space!
00:02:59Thanks.
00:03:00I know that wasn't the smoothest entrance.
00:03:08Ma'am, thank you.
00:03:10That was... remarkable.
00:03:20Wow, Mr. Callahan.
00:03:22That woman was amazing.
00:03:24Your dad's been pushing you to get married for years.
00:03:27Maybe you should ask her out?
00:03:28Zip it, Ryan.
00:03:31She could already be married for all we know.
00:03:33Her?
00:03:33Far from it.
00:03:35Grace is a nanny for the Sullivan family.
00:03:37Small town Texas girl, single mom.
00:03:40She's barely scratching by.
00:03:42So a single mom with a kid in tow?
00:03:44That's too much baggage.
00:03:46She's way below your station, Mr. Callahan.
00:03:50If she wants to marry me, her kid's not a burden.
00:03:53It's a bonus.
00:03:56And where's this week's paycheck?
00:03:57We're not running some kind of redneck charity here, you know?
00:04:03Who the hell made my daughter kneel outside in the rain?
00:04:06Grace, calm down.
00:04:07Lily took Kyle's gloves and wouldn't admit it.
00:04:10We just put her in a little timeout.
00:04:11She's fine.
00:04:12You know, kids, they bounce back.
00:04:13My daughter didn't steal anything!
00:04:16Hey!
00:04:17Where do you think you're going?
00:04:18Get out of my way.
00:04:19Lily's burning up.
00:04:20I'm taking her to the hospital.
00:04:21The hospital?
00:04:22Do you even know what that costs?
00:04:24Or let me guess, you're gonna beg Derek to pay for it again?
00:04:26How can you say that?
00:04:27Lily's his daughter too.
00:04:29You two aren't even married.
00:04:31Which means that girl's not a Sullivan.
00:04:33She gets all that greed and stupidity of hers from you.
00:04:36It's in your blood!
00:04:44Enjoy your meal!
00:04:49You lunatic!
00:04:50So you're flipping tables now, are you?
00:04:52You've crossed the line this time, Grace.
00:04:54Six years ago, I followed you here to California.
00:04:58I dropped out of design school so you could stay in college.
00:05:02I worked double shifts in factories to pay your tuition
00:05:06and all your family's living expenses!
00:05:09I gave up my future so you could have yours as a supervisor
00:05:12and you still tell everyone I'm just the nanny!
00:05:15Look in the mirror, Grace.
00:05:17After all these years, you're still just a factory worker.
00:05:19What? No!
00:05:20I was the top of my class design school.
00:05:22I would have had a career in-
00:05:26You mean these stupid drawings?
00:05:28All this random junk?
00:05:29This is just a bunch of useless, meaningless crap!
00:05:32And you?
00:05:32You're just a worthless nobody!
00:05:35Derek?
00:05:36You're nothing but a leech.
00:05:38Without me working night and day to cover your bills,
00:05:40your family would have nothing!
00:05:41They've already squeezed every single thing they could out of me!
00:05:45Derek?
00:05:45She's lost her mind!
00:05:48Enough!
00:05:49I don't have the time to stand here arguing in circles with you.
00:05:51Get out of my way.
00:05:53Hm.
00:05:54She'll be fine.
00:05:55You are a monster!
00:05:57I'm done with you and your heartless family!
00:06:00My daughter and I are leaving!
00:06:01If you leave, you can forget about me marrying you!
00:06:05God.
00:06:07This again.
00:06:08As if I actually care anymore.
00:06:10Think carefully, Grace Bennett!
00:06:12No money!
00:06:12No help!
00:06:13No one wants a single mom and a useless-
00:06:17I don't want our daughter to live a life like mine.
00:06:20She's my daughter too.
00:06:23I'll love and protect you both always.
00:06:25I promise.
00:06:28What?!
00:06:28We want nothing to do with you, Derek!
00:06:31We're done!
00:06:32Fine!
00:06:33Be that way!
00:06:34But now you've really pissed me off this time!
00:06:42By the way, if you hadn't kept nagging to take that photo that day, I would never have bothered posing
00:06:48next to burdens like you.
00:06:52It's always the people you're closest to that hurt you the most.
00:06:57I'm sorry, sweetie. Mommy didn't protect you.
00:07:00I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
00:07:22Mr. Callahan? What are you-
00:07:24Grace Bennett?
00:07:26Will you marry me?
00:07:30Let me be your shield.
00:07:32For you and your daughter.
00:07:34Did you say you want to marry me?
00:07:37Ms. Bennett?
00:07:38I'm Ethan Callahan.
00:07:39CEO of Callahan Group.
00:07:41And I'm...
00:07:42Dead serious about this proposal.
00:07:46But why me?
00:07:48You're a big-shot CEO.
00:07:50And I'm just a warehouse worker.
00:07:52With a kid.
00:07:53I need a wife.
00:07:55And-
00:07:56And you helped me out before.
00:07:59Now, let me return the favor.
00:08:00Let me protect you.
00:08:03I... helped you?
00:08:16Hey, newbie! No slacking!
00:08:28I'm not looking for a fling.
00:08:30I'm looking for a family.
00:08:31Let me give you both the life you deserve.
00:08:36Everything I have will be yours.
00:08:42Lately, my father won't stop pushing me to get married.
00:08:46But I-I-I want someone worth making a life with.
00:08:50So...
00:08:51What do you say we give it a shot?
00:08:59I...
00:08:59Oh.
00:09:03If you're gonna marry my mom, that means you'll be my new daddy.
00:09:08Mommy, I like him.
00:09:10He makes me feel like I'm his family.
00:09:15I-I'd love for us to all be family, but...
00:09:19I come with a bit of baggage.
00:09:23My legs...
00:09:26They're in bad shape.
00:09:28The docs say I might never recover.
00:09:32I-I get it if you say no.
00:09:35I'm kind of a mess.
00:09:39A mess.
00:09:41Can't be worse than scraping by,
00:09:44hungry half the time,
00:09:46or getting kicked out in the dead of night
00:09:48by the asshole father of your child.
00:09:59Yes.
00:10:01I'll marry you.
00:10:11I can't believe I'm actually married.
00:10:24Sorry.
00:10:25I didn't mean to-
00:10:28No worries.
00:10:29My legs...
00:10:31They can't feel a thing anyway.
00:10:33I'm going to fix this.
00:10:35I'll get him walking again.
00:10:37I noticed Lily really likes fencing,
00:10:40so I arranged a spot for her in the first grade class
00:10:42at Maplefield Independent School.
00:10:43They'll give the best education to your daughter.
00:10:45Or should I say...
00:10:47Our daughter.
00:10:49Oh my god.
00:10:51Maplefield?
00:10:52One year's tuition is equal to ten years of me and Derek's pay.
00:10:57I couldn't even book a tour the last time I tried.
00:11:02Ready to go home with me?
00:11:03Let's make it our home.
00:11:05For the three of us.
00:11:07Y-yes.
00:11:09Sure, yeah, our home.
00:11:13Grandma!
00:11:14I'm hungry!
00:11:17Vanessa!
00:11:19Did Grace not come back to cook?
00:11:21Ugh, yesterday's clothes are still filthy.
00:11:24She and that little bastard kid,
00:11:26they both just vanished into grain air.
00:11:28Hate to say I told you so,
00:11:30but with an attitude like hers,
00:11:32what can you really expect?
00:11:35When you see her,
00:11:37tell her to cook and do the laundry ASAP.
00:11:39Then make her sit outside for an hour
00:11:41and reflect on what she's done.
00:11:43Gotta rent her in, no matter what it takes.
00:11:46I'll make sure she never runs away again.
00:11:50She's been missing for a full day now, already.
00:11:53What if she doesn't come back?
00:11:54Please.
00:11:55No way she's going back to the sticks.
00:11:57She even asked me about sending Lily to Maplefield.
00:11:59As if that little brat belongs in the best school in California.
00:12:02If anyone deserves to go to Maplefield, it's Kyle.
00:12:05A kid like him needs the best school around.
00:12:07Why can't we send him to Maplefield?
00:12:09It's the cream of the crop.
00:12:10Ma, are you crazy?
00:12:12You can't even get through the front doors of Maplefield
00:12:15without a personal recommendation.
00:12:17We've been on the waiting list forever.
00:12:19Didn't your CEO visit yesterday?
00:12:22Ethan Callahan?
00:12:23Go butter him up.
00:12:24See if he'll give us a recommendation for Kyle.
00:12:27Mr. Callahan's untouchable.
00:12:29I can't even get near him.
00:12:33I'll call again this week and see if we can at least book a school tour.
00:12:43This place is enormous.
00:12:48Lily, your mom said you love fencing.
00:12:51I got these for you.
00:12:55What do you think?
00:12:56Wow, I love them!
00:12:58Oh no, sorry.
00:13:00Here, let me clean you up.
00:13:07Mr. and Mrs. Callahan, welcome.
00:13:09Mr. Miller, good to see you.
00:13:11This is my daughter, Lily.
00:13:13Hi, Mr. Miller.
00:13:14He just claimed her as his daughter.
00:13:19Heard you married a country girl and had a kid with her?
00:13:21Bring him out sometime.
00:13:25Nah, I don't have a wife.
00:13:27Just a nanny at home, nothing more.
00:13:31Derek hit us like we were nothing to him.
00:13:33But Ethan, he's proud of us.
00:13:35Maybe he's the caring husband I deserve.
00:13:38And the loving father Lily's always needed.
00:13:42Alright, everything's set.
00:13:44Want me to show you around?
00:13:45Sure, thanks.
00:13:46Or maybe we could go take a look on our own?
00:13:50You two go explore.
00:13:51I'll finish the paperwork here.
00:14:02Mr. Miller, I'm donating a fencing center to you.
00:14:05Lily loves fencing, but she hasn't been able to receive proper training.
00:14:09I want her to have the best education you can offer.
00:14:11Then we'll make sure she gets it.
00:14:12You really do love your wife and daughter, don't you?
00:14:15Of course.
00:14:17Nothing's more precious to me than my family.
00:14:25Oh my God!
00:14:27This place is so fancy!
00:14:30Vanessa, we have to get Kyle enrolled here.
00:14:32Well, we're only allowed to visit for now.
00:14:34Schools like this don't open doors for just anyone.
00:14:37Hi!
00:14:38Would you happen to be Lily and Mrs. Callahan?
00:14:41I'm Nora Williams, Lily's teacher.
00:14:43Yes, nice to meet you.
00:14:46Is...
00:14:47Is that Grace?
00:14:49Don't bring up that filthy nanny.
00:14:50Even worked her ass off to get a tour here.
00:14:52Security would still shut her out.
00:14:54Wait, Grace?
00:14:55Why is she here?
00:15:04Grace, you ghosted us for days.
00:15:06Where the hell have you been?
00:15:08It's none of your business.
00:15:10Lily, head inside with Mrs. Williams.
00:15:12Don't screw this up.
00:15:13We're here for Kyle, okay?
00:15:15Get your ass home now, and maybe I'll think about marrying you.
00:15:17How'd you sneak in, huh?
00:15:19Hey, you!
00:15:20Get these trespassers out of here!
00:15:22What's happening?
00:15:23Every string I had just to get Kyle a tour here.
00:15:26Get that lunatic of yours in line.
00:15:27Don't let her ruin Kyle's chances for admission.
00:15:29Derek, I'm warning you.
00:15:31Lily's not your daughter anymore.
00:15:33And my daughter is not a thief.
00:15:36She's a VIP student here.
00:15:40VIP student?
00:15:42Wow.
00:15:43You're actually insane.
00:15:45Tell me, where did you get the money for this school?
00:15:47You steal it again?
00:15:50Look at them!
00:15:50Who lets trash like that set foot in our school?
00:15:52Kids from broken homes always turn out twisted.
00:15:54Son, stay away from her!
00:15:55Get out.
00:15:56Don't make me tell you twice.
00:15:59Mr. Callahan, I promise your daughter will be well taken care of here.
00:16:06Mr. Callahan?
00:16:07It's really him?
00:16:08So, that was his wife and daughter just now?
00:16:12What happened?
00:16:13Mr. Callahan, your wife got in a fight at the entrance.
00:16:16Someone's hurting her and your daughter!
00:16:18Get me there.
00:16:19Now!
00:16:20Grace, today it's time you and your miserable child learn your place.
00:16:24Get your filthy hands off my wife and daughter!
00:16:30What the hell is going on here?
00:16:32Mr. Miller, you're just in time.
00:16:34That kid's a lowly thief and her mom's no better.
00:16:36She's a single mom.
00:16:37Who said that?
00:16:40She did!
00:16:42Mr. Callahan, my brother Derek is one of your factory workers.
00:16:46I slaved as your family's nanny for six fucking years.
00:16:50Everything I did was for my daughter and what did you do to her?
00:16:53How the hell does this happen?
00:16:55Parents and kids getting attacked right at the school gates?
00:16:58I have serious questions about Maplefield security.
00:17:00She started it!
00:17:02She was beating her everyone's soul!
00:17:06Yeah.
00:17:06Yeah, that's right.
00:17:07She's the one committing assault!
00:17:11Bullshit!
00:17:12Don't ever let me see them set foot here again.
00:17:14Weird.
00:17:14Why is Mr. Callahan holding Lily like that?
00:17:17It almost looks like she's his own kid.
00:17:21Ma'am, wow.
00:17:22You must be married to a big shot or something.
00:17:26Everyone, this is Mrs. Callahan and her daughter Lily.
00:17:35Callahan?
00:17:35As in the Callahans?
00:17:37The richest family in America?
00:17:39Man, what have I done?
00:17:41I was a total jerk to her and her kid just now.
00:17:44It's okay.
00:17:46Now there's one more person to protect you.
00:17:49Protect us.
00:17:51No.
00:17:51That's not possible.
00:17:53Grace loved me.
00:17:54She wouldn't just walk away.
00:17:55Please.
00:17:56That country bumping single mom.
00:17:58What kind of man would even give her the time of day?
00:18:00No.
00:18:01Grace.
00:18:01I won't let you leave like this.
00:18:03I'll make you crawl back to me and beg.
00:18:05You were mine.
00:18:06You still are.
00:18:10Sir?
00:18:10Sir, are you okay?
00:18:16Hang on.
00:18:16I've got you.
00:18:18Help!
00:18:19Someone help!
00:18:20Is that...
00:18:21Grace?
00:18:22What's she doing with that old man?
00:18:27Move back.
00:18:28What are you doing here?
00:18:29Step away.
00:18:31Looks like Grace really found herself a rich old man.
00:18:35That guy had to be at least 70.
00:18:39With that damn Texas bumper.
00:18:41How dare she cheat on my son.
00:18:44We need to tell Derek right now.
00:18:46She's gonna pay for this.
00:18:53Are you sure you still want to go back to the factory?
00:18:56You know, now that you're my wife, you don't have to work anymore.
00:19:01Yes.
00:19:02I'm sure.
00:19:03I still have some work to do there.
00:19:05Plus they're really busy and they need my help.
00:19:09And maybe when your legs get better, when you don't need me anymore,
00:19:13I'll still need my own job.
00:19:15And a steady paycheck.
00:19:18Don't play dumb.
00:19:19My mom and my sister saw it with their own eyes.
00:19:22I saw it clear as day.
00:19:24That man was over 70.
00:19:26I'll make you pay.
00:19:28For cheating on me.
00:19:29Want to know why I've been away all this time?
00:19:31Because I got married.
00:19:38But I didn't marry an old man.
00:19:40My husband is Mr. Callahan.
00:19:43Ethan Callahan!
00:19:47Oh my god.
00:19:48Has she completely lost it?
00:19:51Seriously?
00:19:52Mary, our CEO?
00:19:53What is she smoking?
00:19:54Did she even hear herself?
00:19:55Please, if that happens, I'm quitting this job and retiring.
00:20:00No, I will hang myself from the factory rafters!
00:20:03Go ahead and hang yourself right now.
00:20:11Because everything she said is true.
00:20:16I am Grace Bennett's husband.
00:20:28My name is Grace Bennett.
00:20:29I grew up in a small town in Texas.
00:20:33Six years ago, I moved to California with the man I loved.
00:20:40We never got the chance to get married, but he gave me the best thing in my life.
00:20:45Our daughter, Lily.
00:20:49Lily's gonna love these.
00:20:51She's wanted to get into fencing for so long.
00:20:53And now I'm finally giving her gloves as a birthday gift.
00:20:57Why aren't you guys in uniform?
00:21:00Oh, our resident country bump-in hasn't heard?
00:21:03Ethan Callahan, the owner of this factory, is coming in for an inspection.
00:21:06If I get noticed by him, then BAM!
00:21:07I'll be set for life!
00:21:10Don't even bother trying, Grace.
00:21:12You're a pathetic single mom working in a factory by day and babysitting at night.
00:21:16You don't stand a chance.
00:21:17Just stay out of our way.
00:21:23Oh my God!
00:21:25He's really here?
00:21:35What the hell is this?
00:21:37You didn't even bother to look him up?
00:21:40Mr. Callahan was seriously injured in Afghanistan in his early 20s.
00:21:44He's disabled now.
00:21:46God, he probably can't even get it up anymore.
00:21:49Ew!
00:21:51Hey, you're sorry, Jeff.
00:21:52You pay a screen.
00:21:57Oh my God.
00:21:58Let's see this cripple eat shit.
00:22:00All that money and he still can't even stand on his own.
00:22:04He looks like he needs help.
00:22:05Help!
00:22:16Stop staring!
00:22:18Give him some space!
00:22:42The sun that's down there.
00:22:46Does he hurt me?
00:22:48Thanks. I know that wasn't the smoothest entrance.
00:22:57Ma'am, thank you.
00:22:59That was remarkable.
00:23:09Wow, Mr. Callahan.
00:23:11That woman was amazing.
00:23:14Your dad's been pushing you to get married for years.
00:23:16Maybe you should ask her out?
00:23:18Zip it, Ryan.
00:23:20She could already be married for all we know.
00:23:22Her? Far from it.
00:23:24Grace is a nanny for the Sullivan family.
00:23:27Small-town Texas girl, single mom.
00:23:29She's barely scratching by.
00:23:31So a single mom with a kid in tow?
00:23:33That's too much baggage.
00:23:35She's way below your station, Mr. Callahan.
00:23:39If she wants to marry me, her kid's not a burden.
00:23:42It's a bonus.
00:23:45And where's this week's paycheck?
00:23:47We're not running some kind of redneck charity here, you know?
00:23:52Who the hell made my daughter kneel outside in the rain?
00:23:55Grace, calm down.
00:23:57Lily took Kyle's gloves and wouldn't admit it.
00:23:59We just put her in a little timeout.
00:24:00She's fine.
00:24:01You know, kids, they bounce back.
00:24:03My daughter didn't steal anything!
00:24:05Hey, where do you think you're going?
00:24:07Get out of my way.
00:24:08Lily's burning up.
00:24:09I'm taking her to the hospital.
00:24:10The hospital?
00:24:12Do you even know what that costs?
00:24:13Or let me guess, you're going to beg Derek to pay for it again?
00:24:15How can you say that?
00:24:17Lily's his daughter, too.
00:24:18You two aren't even married.
00:24:21Which means that girl's not a Sullivan.
00:24:23She gets all that greed and stupidity of hers from you.
00:24:25It's in your blood!
00:24:33Enjoy your meal!
00:24:38You lunatic!
00:24:39So you're flipping tables now, are you?
00:24:41You've crossed the line this time, Grace.
00:24:43Six years ago, I followed you here to California.
00:24:47I dropped out of design school so you could stay in college.
00:24:51I worked double shifts in factories to pay your tuition and all your family's living expenses!
00:24:58I gave up my future so you could have yours as a supervisor.
00:25:01And you still tell everyone I'm just the nanny!
00:25:04Look in the mirror, Grace.
00:25:06After all these years, you're still just a factory worker.
00:25:09What?
00:25:09No!
00:25:09I was the top of my class design school.
00:25:12I would have had a career in...
00:25:15You mean these stupid drawings?
00:25:17All this random junk?
00:25:18This is just a bunch of useless, meaningless crap!
00:25:21And you?
00:25:21You're just a worthless nobody!
00:25:24Derek?
00:25:25You're nothing but a leech.
00:25:27Without me working night and day to cover your bills, your family would have nothing.
00:25:31They've already squeezed every single thing they could out of me.
00:25:34Derek, she's lost her mind.
00:25:37Enough!
00:25:37I don't have the time to stand here arguing in circles with you.
00:25:41Get out of my way.
00:25:43She'll be fine.
00:25:44You are a monster!
00:25:47I'm done with you and your heartless family!
00:25:49My daughter and I are leaving!
00:25:51If you leave, you can forget about me marrying you!
00:25:54God.
00:25:56This again.
00:25:57As if I actually care anymore.
00:25:59Think carefully, Grace Bennett!
00:26:01No money, no help, no one wants a single mom and a useless...
00:26:05I don't want our daughter to live with...
00:26:07I don't want to live a life like mine.
00:26:09She's my daughter too.
00:26:12I'll love and protect you both always.
00:26:14I promise.
00:26:17What?!
00:26:17We want nothing to do with you, Derek!
00:26:20We're done!
00:26:22Fine!
00:26:22Be that way!
00:26:23But now you've really pissed me off this time!
00:26:31By the way, if you hadn't kept nagging to take that photo that day, I would never have bothered posing
00:26:38next to burdens like you.
00:26:41It's always the people you're closest to that hurt you the most.
00:26:46I'm sorry, sweetie.
00:26:47Mommy didn't protect you.
00:26:49I'm sorry.
00:26:50It's all my fault.
00:27:07I'm sorry.
00:27:08Golara on.
00:27:09All right.
00:27:11Mr. Callahan?
00:27:13What are you...
00:27:14Grace Bennett?
00:27:15Yeah.
00:27:16Will you marry me?
00:27:19Let me be your shield
00:27:21For you and your daughter
00:27:24Did you say you want to marry me?
00:27:26Ms. Bennett
00:27:27I'm Ethan Callahan
00:27:28CEO of Callahan Group
00:27:30And I'm dead serious about this proposal
00:27:35But why me?
00:27:37You're a big shot CEO
00:27:38And I'm just a warehouse worker
00:27:41With a kid
00:27:42I need a wife
00:27:45And you helped me out before
00:27:48Now, let me return the favor
00:27:50Let me protect you
00:27:52I helped you?
00:28:05Hey, newbie!
00:28:06No slacking!
00:28:17I'm not looking for a fling
00:28:18I'm looking for a family
00:28:21Let me give you both the life you deserve
00:28:25Everything I have will be yours
00:28:31Lately, my father won't stop pushing me to get married
00:28:35But I want someone worth making a life with
00:28:39So
00:28:41What do you say we give it a shot?
00:28:48Oh
00:28:52If you're going to marry my mom
00:28:53That means you'll be my new daddy
00:28:58Mommy, I like him
00:28:59He makes me feel like I'm his family
00:29:04I'd love for us to all be family
00:29:06But
00:29:08I come with a bit of baggage
00:29:11My legs
00:29:15They're in bad shape
00:29:17The docs say I might never recover
00:29:21I get it if you say no
00:29:24I'm kind of a mess
00:29:28A mess
00:29:30Can't be worse than scraping by
00:29:33Hungry half the time
00:29:35Or getting kicked out in the dead of night
00:29:37By the asshole father of your child
00:29:48Yes
00:29:50I'll marry you
00:30:00I can't believe I'm actually married
00:30:13Sorry
00:30:15I didn't mean
00:30:17No worries
00:30:19My legs
00:30:19They can't feel a thing anyway
00:30:22I'm going to fix this
00:30:24I'll get him walking again
00:30:25I noticed Lily really likes fencing
00:30:28So I arranged a spot for her in the first grade class at Maplefield Independent School
00:30:32They'll give the best education to your daughter
00:30:34Or should I say
00:30:37Our daughter
00:30:38Oh my god
00:30:40Maplefield?
00:30:42One year's tuition is equal to ten years of me and Derek's pay
00:30:46I couldn't even book a tour the last time I tried
00:30:51Ready to go home with me?
00:30:52Let's make it our home
00:30:54For the three of us
00:30:57Yes
00:30:57Sure
00:30:58Yeah
00:30:59Our home
00:31:02Grandma
00:31:04I'm hungry
00:31:06Vanessa
00:31:08Did Grace not come back to cook?
00:31:10Ugh
00:31:11Yesterday's clothes are still filthy
00:31:13She and that little bastard kid
00:31:15They both just vanished into grain air
00:31:18Hate to say I told you so
00:31:19But with an attitude like hers
00:31:21What can you really expect?
00:31:24When you see her
00:31:25Tell her
00:31:26To cook and do the laundry
00:31:27A-A-SAP
00:31:28Then make her sit outside for an hour
00:31:31And reflect on what she's done
00:31:32Gotta rent her in
00:31:34No matter what it takes
00:31:35I'll make sure she never
00:31:36Runs away again
00:31:39She's been missing for a full day now
00:31:41Already
00:31:42What if she doesn't come back?
00:31:43Oh please
00:31:44No way she's going back to the sticks
00:31:46She even asked me about sending Lily to Maplefield
00:31:48As if that little brat belongs in the best school in California
00:31:51If anyone deserves to go to Maplefield
00:31:53It's Kyle
00:31:54A kid like him needs the best school around
00:31:56Why can't we send him to Maplefield?
00:31:58It's the cream of the crop
00:31:59Ma, are you crazy?
00:32:01You can't even get through the front doors of Maplefield
00:32:04Without a personal recommendation
00:32:05We've been on the waiting list forever
00:32:08Didn't your CEO visit yesterday?
00:32:11Ethan Callahan?
00:32:12Go butter him up
00:32:13See if he'll give us a recommendation for Kyle
00:32:16Mr. Callahan's untouchable
00:32:18I can't even get near him
00:32:22I'll call again this week
00:32:24And see if we can at least book a school tour
00:32:32This place is enormous
00:32:37Lily
00:32:38Your mom said you love fencing
00:32:40I got these for you
00:32:45What do you think?
00:32:46Wow, I love them
00:32:47Oh no, sorry
00:32:49Here, let me clean you up
00:32:56Mr. and Mrs. Callahan, welcome
00:32:58Mr. Miller, good to see you
00:33:00This is my daughter, Lily
00:33:02Hi, Mr. Miller
00:33:04He just claimed her as his daughter
00:33:08Heard you married a country girl and had a kid with her?
00:33:10Bring him out sometime
00:33:14Nah, I don't have a wife
00:33:16Just a nanny at home, nothing more
00:33:20Derek hit us like we were nothing to him
00:33:22But Ethan, he's proud of us
00:33:24Maybe he's the caring husband I deserve
00:33:26And the loving father Lily's always needed
00:33:31Alright, everything's set
00:33:32Want me to show you around?
00:33:34Sure, thanks
00:33:35Or maybe we could go take a look on our own?
00:33:39You two go explore
00:33:40I'll finish the paperwork here
00:33:43Mr. Miller
00:33:52I'm donating a fencing center to you
00:33:54Lily loves fencing
00:33:55But she hasn't been able to receive proper training
00:33:58I want her to have the best education you can offer
00:34:00Then we'll make sure she gets it
00:34:01You really do love your wife and daughter, don't you?
00:34:05Of course, nothing's more precious to me than my family
00:34:14Oh my god
00:34:16This place is so fancy
00:34:19Vanessa, we have to get Kyle enrolled here
00:34:21Well, we're only allowed to visit for now
00:34:23Schools like this don't open doors for just anyone
00:34:26Hi
00:34:28Would you happen to be Lily and Mrs. Callahan?
00:34:30I'm Nora Williams, Lily's teacher
00:34:31Yes, nice to meet you
00:34:35Is...
00:34:36Is that Grace?
00:34:38Don't bring up that filthy nanny
00:34:39Even worked her ass off to get a tour here
00:34:41Security would still shut her out
00:34:43Wait, Grace?
00:34:44Why is she here?
00:34:53Grace, you ghosted us for days
00:34:55Where the hell have you been?
00:34:57It's none of your business
00:34:59Lily, head inside with Mrs. Williams
00:35:01Don't screw this up
00:35:02We're here for Kyle, okay?
00:35:03Get your ass home now
00:35:05And maybe I'll think about marrying you
00:35:06How'd you sneak in, huh?
00:35:08Hey, you!
00:35:09Get these trespassers out of here!
00:35:11What's happening?
00:35:12Every string I had
00:35:13Just to get Kyle a tour here
00:35:15Get that lunatic of yours in line
00:35:16Don't let her ruin Kyle's chances for admission
00:35:18Derek, I'm warning you
00:35:20Lily's not your daughter anymore
00:35:22And my daughter is not a thief
00:35:25She's a VIP student here
00:35:30VIP student?
00:35:31Wow
00:35:32You're actually insane
00:35:34Tell me
00:35:34Where did you get the money for this school?
00:35:37You steal it again?
00:35:39Look at them
00:35:40Who lets trash like that set foot in our school?
00:35:41Kids from broken homes always turn out twisted
00:35:43Son, stay away from her
00:35:44Get out
00:35:46Don't make me tell you twice
00:35:48Mr. Callahan
00:35:49I promise
00:35:50Your daughter will be well taken care of here
00:35:55Mr. Callahan?
00:35:56It's really him?
00:35:58So that was his wife and daughter just now?
00:36:01What happened?
00:36:02Mr. Callahan
00:36:03Your wife got in a fight at the entrance
00:36:05Someone's hurting her and your daughter
00:36:07Get me there
00:36:08Now
00:36:09Grace
00:36:10Today it's time you and your miserable child learn your place
00:36:13It's your filthy hands off my wife and daughter
00:36:19What the hell is going on here?
00:36:21Mr. Miller, you're just in time
00:36:23That kid's a lowly thief and her mom's no better
00:36:25She's a single mom
00:36:26Who said that?
00:36:29She did
00:36:30Mr. Callahan
00:36:32My brother Derek is one of your factory workers
00:36:35I slaved as your family's nanny for six fucking years
00:36:38Everything I did was for my daughter
00:36:40And what did you do to her?
00:36:42How the hell does this happen?
00:36:44Parents and kids getting attacked right at the school gates?
00:36:47I have serious questions about Maplefield security
00:36:49She started it
00:36:51She was beating her
00:36:52Everyone saw
00:36:55Yeah, yeah, that's right
00:36:56She's the one committing assault
00:37:00Bullshit
00:37:01Don't ever let me see them set foot here again
00:37:03Weird
00:37:04Why is Mr. Callahan holding Lily like that?
00:37:06It almost looks like she's his own kid
00:37:10Ma'am, wow
00:37:11You must be married to a big shot or something
00:37:15Everyone, this is Mrs. Callahan and her daughter Lily
00:37:19Oh, how is it?
00:37:22Callahan?
00:37:24Callahan?
00:37:25As in the Callahans?
00:37:26The richest family in America?
00:37:28Oh man, what have I done?
00:37:30I was a total jerk to her and her kid just now
00:37:33It's okay
00:37:35Now there's one more person to protect you
00:37:38Protect us
00:37:40No, that's not possible
00:37:41Grace loved me
00:37:43She wouldn't just walk away
00:37:44Please, that country bumping single mom
00:37:47What kind of man would even give her the time of day?
00:37:49No, Grace, I won't let you leave like this
00:37:52I'll make you crawl back to me and beg
00:37:54You were mine
00:37:55And you still are
00:37:59Sir?
00:38:00Sir, are you okay?
00:38:05Hang on, I've got you
00:38:08Help! Someone help!
00:38:09Is that Grace?
00:38:11What's she doing with that old man?
00:38:16Move back
00:38:17What are you doing here? Step away
00:38:20Looks like Grace really found herself a rich old man
00:38:24That guy had to be at least 70
00:38:28That damn Texas bumper
00:38:30How dare she cheat on my son?
00:38:33We need to tell Derek right now
00:38:34She's gonna pay for this
00:38:43Are you sure you still want to go back to the factory?
00:38:45You know, now that you're my wife
00:38:48You don't have to work anymore
00:38:51Yes, I'm sure
00:38:52I still have some work to do there
00:38:53Plus they're really busy and they need my help
00:38:58And maybe when your legs get better
00:39:00When you don't need me anymore
00:39:02I'll still need my own job
00:39:03And a steady paycheck
00:39:07Don't play dumb
00:39:08My mom and my sister saw it with their own eyes
00:39:11I saw it clear as day
00:39:13That man was over 70
00:39:14I'll make you pay
00:39:16For cheating on me
00:39:18Want to know why I've been away all this time?
00:39:20Because I got married
00:39:26But I didn't marry an old man
00:39:29My husband is Mr. Callahan
00:39:32Ethan Callahan
00:39:36Oh my god
00:39:37Has she completely lost it?
00:39:40Seriously
00:39:40Marry our CEO?
00:39:42What is she smoking?
00:39:43Did she even hear herself?
00:39:44Please
00:39:45If that happens
00:39:46I'm quitting this job and retiring
00:39:49No
00:39:50I will hang myself from the factory rafters
00:39:52Go ahead
00:39:54And hang yourself right now
00:40:00Because everything she said
00:40:02Is true
00:40:05I am Grace Bennett's husband
00:40:12All these years
00:40:13He's been funneling the company's money
00:40:15And the family's money
00:40:16Out here
00:40:17Bit by bit
00:40:18To keep his second home
00:40:20Grace!
00:40:21You're shameless!
00:40:22An old relative lent this house to Thomas temporarily
00:40:25John Miller
00:40:26Three months wages
00:40:28Two kids waiting on winter coats
00:40:29Sam Wilson
00:40:30Sick wife
00:40:31No food left in the house
00:40:32Peter Brown
00:40:33Still can't afford the cost of his mother's funeral
00:40:35You hear that?
00:40:36Your workers can barely survive
00:40:38All because of your bad decisions
00:40:40This house is only borrowed
00:40:45From now on everything belongs to the new management
00:40:48The sawmills
00:40:49Timberland
00:40:50Dock contracts
00:40:51And railroad tie supply rights
00:40:53Thomas Bennett
00:40:54You're finally nothing now
00:40:59Ma'am
00:41:00Does this mean we'll get our back pay now?
00:41:05Oh
00:41:05A transfer of ownership is complicated business
00:41:08Until the books are sorted out
00:41:10The wages will have to wait
00:41:11Wait!
00:41:12You work for us now
00:41:14Think twice before you run your mouth
00:41:19Work for you?
00:41:20Over my dead body!
00:41:23Don't you dare!
00:41:24I'm a lady!
00:41:25I'm Miss Bennett!
00:41:26You're no lady!
00:41:27You're just that viper's little bastard!
00:41:31Get out you bastards!
00:41:33Boss, I don't know what to say
00:41:35Alright
00:41:37You all got paid
00:41:38Go on, all of you
00:41:39Don't keep your families waiting
00:41:41Mr. Bennett
00:41:42The gala is about to start
00:41:43The car is waiting outside
00:41:44No!
00:41:46Sum it up
00:41:47Yes, nice guys
00:41:49I'll get it
00:41:50Oh!
00:41:50That's what I have to say
00:41:53Boss
00:41:55What an honor
00:41:56It's not every day you come down to inspect the mill
00:41:58You didn't hear?
00:42:00Boss is here because he's marrying Grace Whitmore
00:42:02Grace Whitmore?
00:42:03The prettiest girl in town?
00:42:06Well now
00:42:08Congratulations, boss
00:42:10Thank you
00:42:23Darling, are you all finished?
00:42:24I've been longing to see you since this morning
00:42:26I've missed you too, my love
00:42:34You've stalled us three months already
00:42:36Pay us today!
00:42:38I can't even buy flour for my family!
00:42:43Stay calm, everyone
00:42:45Mr. Bennett's going through the books
00:42:47He'll make this right
00:42:48Pay us!
00:42:48Pay us!
00:42:50Pay us!
00:42:51Pay us!
00:42:53Sir, I just got word from the doctor
00:42:55Your mother's been diagnosed with stomach cancer
00:42:57She needs treatment right away
00:42:59It'll cost at least $400,000
00:43:02What?
00:43:12Send the treatment money first
00:43:14There's only a few thousand dollars left in the company accounts
00:43:17Impossible!
00:43:18There were 8 million last month
00:43:20And it's not just the cash
00:43:21The lumber receipts we kept at Victor's dock warehouse are gone too
00:43:24Without them, we can't even claim that timber
00:43:29Who has access to that money?
00:43:31Besides you and your wife?
00:43:33Only Richard, Clara, and Julian
00:43:37They're my family
00:43:39They'll help me get to the truth
00:43:52Richard
00:43:53You kids are all in town?
00:43:55Good timing
00:43:56There's serious trouble at the company
00:43:58No
00:44:00Sign the sawmill and the timberland over to us
00:44:03And the trouble outside takes care of itself
00:44:06What?
00:44:08You're old
00:44:09And you're soft
00:44:09A worker cries poor
00:44:11You give him a raises
00:44:12A dealer stiffs you
00:44:13You give him more time
00:44:14You will ruin Bennett timber
00:44:17You're at that mill all day
00:44:18You always stink of sawdust and machine oil
00:44:21Everyone at the club laughs at us
00:44:23For having a crude country yunker for a father
00:44:27Clara
00:44:28Father
00:44:30You're leaving us the company sooner or later anyway
00:44:32Step aside now
00:44:33Have a nice quiet retirement
00:44:34Why work yourself to the bone?
00:44:37So you took all the company's money and receipts?
00:44:41You're right
00:44:42I gave you the best house
00:44:45Sent you to the best schools
00:44:47I loved you like my own
00:44:49Your mother's in the city on business
00:44:52If she knew you were treating me like this
00:44:55It would break her heart
00:45:02Break her heart?
00:45:05Over you?
00:45:08Think it over
00:45:09Those workers outside are losing their patience
00:45:26My god
00:45:27They're going to wreck the saw table
00:45:44God almighty, what are you doing?
00:45:46That table goes
00:45:47The whole mill is finished
00:45:48No pay, no mill
00:45:50We'll tear it down
00:45:51My family's had no bread for two days
00:45:53No one cares if we live or die
00:46:02Stop
00:46:04Yeah, stop
00:46:08Well, look who's here
00:46:10The great philanthropist Thomas Bennett
00:46:12Tired of your fancy cigars?
00:46:15Stop
00:46:16That saw is our only chance to save the mill
00:46:21To hell with your mill
00:46:22My family's got nothing to eat
00:46:24What about us?
00:46:27You black-hearted crook
00:46:29If you love that table so much
00:46:30Climb up and go down with it
00:46:32Sorry, James
00:46:33Wish
00:46:34Wish
00:46:35This is our fucking wrist now
00:46:52Mr. Bennett, my god
00:46:54Get off of them
00:46:56You almost died
00:46:59I'd give my life to save this mill
00:47:02Hundreds of families depend on it
00:47:04We don't want to do this, Mr. Bennett
00:47:06But it's been three months
00:47:07My landlord's at my door every day
00:47:09Asking for rent money
00:47:11Since my husband died in the woods
00:47:13My paycheck's the only thing keeping my kids alive
00:47:18Now my little girl's sick
00:47:20And I can't even afford a doctor
00:47:23I haven't been able to afford a single sack of coal for three months
00:47:28My mother has to sleep under all her old rags for warmth
00:47:33You live in a big house and own a fancy carriage
00:47:36Of course you'd have no idea how we're scraping by
00:47:39We just want our wages
00:47:41Yes
00:47:42Give us our money
00:47:44Yes
00:47:49You're right
00:47:49You did the work, but you didn't get paid
00:47:52It's my fault, no matter what
00:47:55I know how much these paychecks matter
00:47:58They put bread on your table
00:48:00Pay for your children's doctors
00:48:01And buy the firewood that gets your parents through winter
00:48:04They're how your families survive
00:48:07Then why haven't you paid us?
00:48:12The company's funds were transferred
00:48:15All the lumber receipts are gone
00:48:16There isn't a cent left in the accounts
00:48:19Bennett Timber owes you all
00:48:21And I won't run from this debt
00:48:24I won't let you work for nothing
00:48:27I'll sell my house, my carriage, and all my valuables
00:48:31Even my family's timberland
00:48:33And I will put every last cent in your hands
00:48:37We're supposed to believe that?
00:48:39I'm not asking you to trust me right now
00:48:41Please, just give me one more day
00:48:49Mr. Bennett!
00:48:52I failed you
00:48:54So now, I'm begging you
00:48:56One day, by the end of tomorrow, I'll make this right
00:49:04We won our wages!
00:49:06Your apologies won't put bread on our tables
00:49:08I'm already two months behind on rent
00:49:10I can't wait another day
00:49:11Pay us now! Pay us now!
00:49:19Henry, you've been at this mill for 15 years
00:49:21When the blade took your hand two winters ago
00:49:23I made you a promise
00:49:24As long as Bennett Timber stands
00:49:26Your family will never go hungry
00:49:29Mary, you lost your husband to an accident in the woods
00:49:32Since then, you've raised three children on your own
00:49:35And never missed a single day of work
00:49:37Last winter, when I heard your youngest had no shoes
00:49:40I bought two pairs for each of your children
00:49:44And George, Peter, Andrew
00:49:48I remember every last thing you gave to this mill
00:49:52You never failed this company
00:49:53It is I, Thomas Bennett, who's failed you
00:49:56I'm not asking for forgiveness
00:49:58Just one day, that's all
00:50:01I'll sell my house, my carriage, all my valuables
00:50:04And I'll pay your wages first thing
00:50:07I've worked for Mr. Bennett for 15 years
00:50:09He's never shorted me a single demi
00:50:13After my husband's accident, he kept paying his wages for six months
00:50:18And during last year's blizzard, he gave us firewood to keep our family warm
00:50:22But what if we give him another day and he runs?
00:50:25I'll trust him one more time
00:50:27So will I
00:50:32Everyone, go home for now
00:50:33We'll meet back here this time tomorrow and hear Mr. Bennett out
00:50:38Thank you, all of you
00:50:48You're really selling the house and the carriage?
00:50:51Where will you and Mrs. Bennett live?
00:50:54If the workers don't get paid today, their children could go hungry tonight
00:50:57I have to save them first
00:51:06Get this to my wife in the city right away
00:51:08Tell her to sell the house, the carriage, and every piece of jewellery and art we own
00:51:13All of it?
00:51:14All of it
00:51:16I've explained everything in the letter
00:51:23President Walker, this is the man you've been looking for
00:51:34Thomas Bennett, that's him
00:51:36Fifteen years and I've finally found you, my long-lost partner
00:51:41Bring the car around
00:51:43Tell our lawyers, bank rep and guards
00:51:45We'll leave for Bennett Timber in ten minutes
00:51:47But you're meeting with the chairman of the State Railroad Commission at three
00:51:51He can reschedule
00:51:58I'll see you soon, my business partner
00:52:04All eight million from Bennett Timber's accounts has been transferred
00:52:07And the lumber receipts are in our names now
00:52:10Thomas won't be able to pull anything out
00:52:13Didn't think he'd hand you the company's most important accounts so fast
00:52:16In a matter of days, you've taken his life's work
00:52:18What a fool
00:52:19All it took was calling him dad
00:52:21And suddenly he'd do anything for me
00:52:23He still thinks mother's gonna bail him out
00:52:26He's probably sitting in that shabby little office right now
00:52:29Waiting for the whole family to come save him
00:52:34He always said trusting family is the foundation of good business
00:52:37Turns out his trust was worth a cool eight million
00:52:40That's his fatal flaw
00:52:41He thinks everyone's as saintly as he is
00:52:44What time for St. Thomas to pay
00:52:46Still, Bennett Timber's just an empty shell now
00:52:49We've got the money and the timber
00:52:50Why do we even want those old sawmills?
00:52:52Because all you took was the cash
00:52:54The real value is Bennett Timber's decades of hard-earned reputation
00:52:58Its vast timberland and its long-term port contracts
00:53:02Meaning
00:53:03The Walker Group is hunting for a long-term lumber supplier and a port partner
00:53:07Whoever holds Bennett Timber gets a seat at Walker's table
00:53:10The Walker Group?
00:53:12That name's always in the headlines
00:53:14But President Walker's never shown his face in public
00:53:17They say he's a young, handsome gentleman
00:53:19Every banker and railroad baron in the city is desperate to win his favor
00:53:22If I use Bennett Timber to get close to him
00:53:25The entire city elite will have to answer to me
00:53:41Mr. Walker, welcome to our city
00:53:46Mr. Walker, your improved derricks brought three dead oil fields back to life
00:53:51Even the banks back east want to invest now
00:53:53Partner with us and we'll give your oil and equipment top priority on the rails
00:54:08First of all
00:54:10I'm no mister
00:54:12Second, I'm not here to talk business
00:54:14I came here to find someone
00:54:21Mother, the doctor has told me everything
00:54:24I know my body
00:54:26I'm worried about you
00:54:27It's only been a few days and you've gone so much grayer
00:54:32Trouble at the company?
00:54:33Or those three children?
00:54:36The company's accounts have been drained
00:54:38The lumber receipts are all gone
00:54:40The workers are demanding pay outside the mill and I can't even give them what they're owed
00:54:45Then, don't worry about me
00:54:47Get through the crisis in front of you first
00:54:50Mother, it's stomach cancer
00:54:51The doctor says you need surgery as soon as possible
00:54:54I'm so sorry
00:54:56I'm your son and I can't even afford the treatment you need
00:54:59Mother
00:55:01I've failed you
00:55:03Nonsense
00:55:05Your workers have wives, children, aging parents
00:55:09Their families rely on their paychecks
00:55:12Go do what you have to do
00:55:15I've already asked Grace to sell the house, the carriage, and the art in the city
00:55:20She'll take care of it
00:55:21I know she will
00:55:23Thomas
00:55:24I've never trusted Grace
00:55:26She'd been married three times before she met you
00:55:30Each husband richer than the last
00:55:32Now that your fortune is gone
00:55:34What makes you think she'll stay?
00:55:36Mr. Bennett
00:55:37An urgent letter has just arrived from Mrs. Bennett
00:55:40Grace has raised the money
00:55:45Only $200,000?
00:55:47Dearest Thomas
00:55:48The buyers learned we're desperate for cash
00:55:51So they shorted us
00:55:52I had to take a $200,000 deposit for now
00:55:56So the workers wouldn't be kept waiting
00:55:59The check is enclosed
00:56:01I'll keep working on the rest
00:56:05Our house
00:56:06The carriage
00:56:07The art collections
00:56:09They're worth at least $8 million
00:56:11And she only got $200,000?
00:56:14Mr. Bennett
00:56:15Perhaps you should review the accounts in the city yourself
00:56:17Leaving everything to your wife
00:56:19Grace would never betray me
00:56:23She took that price because she knew the workers couldn't wait
00:56:27She raised $200,000 in one day
00:56:30She did everything she could
00:56:32But we're still $5 million short
00:56:42I have $200,000 I've saved over the years
00:56:46Take it
00:56:51No
00:56:52You need that money for your surgery
00:56:54I can't take it
00:56:55You're my son
00:56:57How could I stand by when you're in trouble?
00:56:59But this money would save your life
00:57:01If those workers don't get paid
00:57:02Their families can't get by
00:57:04Take it
00:57:05Put food on their tables first
00:57:07Even with Grace's $200,000 and yours
00:57:09The workers' rages are still more than $4 million short
00:57:12Then find another way
00:57:13You've been in business your whole life
00:57:15And helped so many people
00:57:17Someone will lend you a hand
00:57:18But it's $4 million
00:57:21Now the company's in trouble
00:57:22No bank will lend us that kind of money
00:57:26There's one person I can think of
00:57:29Who?
00:57:30Victor Crane
00:57:32We came to America together
00:57:34And now he controls the city's dock
00:57:36Warehouses
00:57:36And freight business
00:57:38$4 million should be well within his reach
00:57:45Mr. Crane
00:57:46Mr. Thomas Bennett would like to see you
00:57:48Send him in
00:57:48He's an old friend
00:57:50I can't keep him waiting
00:57:56Well
00:57:56Look who it is
00:57:57The great Thomas Bennett himself
00:58:02What brings you to my little company today?
00:58:08Victor
00:58:09It's been a long time
00:58:11It has
00:58:13Back then
00:58:13You were busy running your woodlands and sawmills
00:58:16Rubbing elbows with bankers and big merchants
00:58:18Of course you wouldn't have time for an old friend
00:58:21Hauling freight and minding warehouses
00:58:23I never forgot you
00:58:24Well then, I'm honored
00:58:26Come
00:58:26Set that cane aside
00:58:28And let your old friend help you
00:58:39Oh dear
00:58:40Thomas
00:58:42I didn't mean to
00:58:44I'm
00:58:45I'm fine
00:58:46I had no idea
00:58:47You can't even stand on your own now?
00:58:53I got hurt in an accident at the mill a few years back
00:58:55Oh
00:58:57What a shame
00:59:03Victor
00:59:04Could you give me a hand?
00:59:08Oh
00:59:08Then just say what you came to say on all fours
00:59:11Stop beating around the Bosch
00:59:12I don't have time for chit chat
00:59:23Victor
00:59:24Victor
00:59:25I'd like to borrow four million dollars
00:59:26My workers are still waiting on their wages
00:59:29I promise I'll pay it back in a month
00:59:32Principle and interest
00:59:33Four million?
00:59:35That's pocket change to me
00:59:37You'll lend it to me?
00:59:40I can
00:59:43But only if you crawl over here and beg on your knees
00:59:55Victor, you're joking, right?
00:59:57I'll pay you back the four million within a month
00:59:59Whatever interest you name
01:00:00We came to America together
01:00:02We've known each other for years
01:00:05I really am in trouble, Victor
01:00:06And I'm hoping you can help me
01:00:07Help you
01:00:11Thomas
01:00:12Do you think you're still that big shot lumber baron
01:00:14That your word is law?
01:00:15I never thought that
01:00:18We both came here with nothing
01:00:21You made your fortune a few years before I did
01:00:23And suddenly you were lecturing me
01:00:24Telling me how to live
01:00:26As if you always knew better
01:00:28I never looked down on you
01:00:29Oh, really?
01:00:31Did you forget the first time I came to you for money?
01:00:36Thomas!
01:00:38Please, lend me 500
01:00:40I'll go back in there
01:00:41And win it all back
01:00:45Here's 50
01:00:47Enough for three days food and lodging
01:00:48I'm sorry, my friend
01:00:50But I won't stand by and watch you throw your life away
01:00:59Thomas
01:01:00The party's about to start
01:01:05Remember?
01:01:06You shoved $50 at me like I was some beggar
01:01:09I really wanted to help
01:01:10If it happened again, I'd do the same thing
01:01:12Exactly what I hate about you
01:01:13You're always right
01:01:15Always noble
01:01:15St. Thomas
01:01:16You had the mills
01:01:18The name
01:01:18And everyone's respect
01:01:19Even the woman I wanted
01:01:21She married you
01:01:22The past has nothing to do with what I'm asking for today
01:01:25Oh, it has everything to do with this
01:01:26I begged you once
01:01:28Today, at last
01:01:30It's your turn to beg me
01:01:32If you don't
01:01:34Your workers won't get paid
01:01:36Tonight, their families will go hungry
01:01:38By winter, their children will have no shoes
01:01:41And their parents will freeze to death
01:01:44You keep calling them your responsibility
01:01:46So, prove it
01:01:49Get on your knees
01:01:50That's all it takes to save them
01:01:53Or is that pride of yours worth more than their lives?
01:01:57If I kneel
01:01:58If I kneel
01:01:59You'll lend me the $4 million
01:02:16Wait
01:02:19Grace
01:02:22Victor, is this how you treat an old friend?
01:02:25Have you forgotten how he helped you?
01:02:34Whatever he owes, I'll cover it this time
01:02:38Walk away from the tables, Victor
01:02:40Stop gambling your life away
01:02:46Mr. Bennett, you've paid his bail in full
01:02:48But next time we catch him smuggling, no one can save him
01:02:54Victor!
01:02:55You can make good money running a warehouse or freight
01:02:57Why in God's name are you smuggling?
01:02:58Oh, save it!
01:02:59I'm out of cash
01:02:59If I don't smuggle, the company goes under tomorrow
01:03:01A businessman lives and dies by his reputation
01:03:03Keep breaking the law
01:03:04And no one will ever do business with you again
01:03:11I'm finished
01:03:12I can't pay what I owe
01:03:14They'll lock me up
01:03:18Draw money from my account
01:03:19Help him save the warehouse
01:03:21Yes, sir
01:03:30Your old friend
01:03:33Bailed you out
01:03:36And put up the money to save your warehouse
01:03:38Now you hate him because he saw you at your lowest?
01:03:42Grace
01:03:43That's right
01:03:44So you waited 15 years
01:03:47For him to get old and crippled
01:03:50So you can watch him lose everything he built?
01:03:53That's right
01:03:54And you dangle those workers' livelihoods over the man who saved you twice
01:03:59To force him to crawl at your feet?
01:04:04Exactly
01:04:05I can hardly wait to see it
01:04:07Victor
01:04:08You really are an ungrateful, wicked, hopeless son of a bitch
01:04:13Grace, never mind all that
01:04:15Tell me, how much more were you able to raise?
01:04:23I happen to have a weakness for bad boys
01:04:26Grace?
01:04:27What the hell?
01:04:30What the hell?
01:04:32From what I've dug up
01:04:33Grace has been moving Thomas' assets into Victor's accounts all along
01:04:37She and Victor have been colluding for a long time
01:04:41Drive faster
01:04:43We need to get there as soon as possible
01:04:48Oh, Thomas, that look on your face is priceless
01:04:52Don't worry, your eyes aren't lying
01:04:53Victor and I, we've been together a long time
01:04:56Grace
01:04:57You
01:05:02I'm a man of my word
01:05:04Get on your knees and I'll sign the check right now
01:05:06No, I still have some dignity left
01:05:10Sorry to trouble you, good day
01:05:13I treated you well for 15 years
01:05:15Why are you doing this?
01:05:18Because you're finished
01:05:19You can't get back up
01:05:23Let me get up, we'll talk face to face
01:05:25Face to face
01:05:25With your height, your stature, you'll always stand ahead above me
01:05:29I want your children to see you in all your glory
01:05:36From now on, I'm only calling him Dad
01:05:37At least he won't keep me in some sawdust-covered backwater dump
01:05:40That's right, Dad promised everything you were too stingy for, he'll give us all of it
01:05:46You, you'd call him Father?
01:05:48One more thing
01:05:49Moving the company's money and the receipts
01:05:52Mr. Victor taught us exactly how to gut Bennett timber
01:05:54So it was him
01:05:56I just pointed the way
01:05:58It was your three fine children who handed me everything you had with their own hands
01:06:04Don't blame them
01:06:05This was all my idea to begin with
01:06:07You had them steal my money?
01:06:10How can you call it stealing?
01:06:12Isn't a man supposed to provide for his family?
01:06:14I just taught them to take what's rightfully theirs
01:06:16So you've been lying to me?
01:06:20For fifteen years?
01:06:22I married you because you were the richest lumberman around
01:06:24I thought I'd live in the grandest house in the city
01:06:27And go to the finest balls
01:06:28Instead I was stuck in the country with you
01:06:30Breathing sawdust and machine oil
01:06:32I've been so sick of you, that sawmill and your filthy workers
01:06:37The heartwarming family reunion's over
01:06:39Now, let's talk business
01:06:40Sign here
01:06:41Hand me the sawmills, the timberland
01:06:43And every dock contract
01:06:44Then this four million dollar check is yours
01:06:46Never
01:06:47Bennett timber is my life's work
01:06:50If you don't sign, your workers will never see their wages
01:06:52Their children will go hungry
01:06:54Their old folks will freeze to death
01:06:56Oh great, Mr. Bennett
01:06:57Is your company more important than their lives?
01:06:59You're using the workers' livelihoods to force my hand
01:07:02Yes, and you have no other choice
01:07:04I won't sign
01:07:05That's not up to you
01:07:09I'm sick of him
01:07:10Always acting holier than thou
01:07:11A dinosaur like him deserves to be left behind
01:07:14You carry his name
01:07:16You squander his fortune
01:07:18And now you kick him when he's down
01:07:20Mr. Walker, the children are young
01:07:22Please, forgive their bluteness
01:07:24I'm Owen Mercer
01:07:25Secretary to the President of the Walker Group
01:07:27President Walker sent me to find Mr. Bennett
01:07:29Who knew this is how you treat your own father?
01:07:31It's his own damn fault
01:07:32He's a failure
01:07:38We're taking him to the hospital
01:07:40I'm his wife, I have to go with him
01:07:43Save it, Mr. Bennett
01:07:45Hold on
01:07:48Idiots!
01:07:49You defend the Walker Group
01:07:50He's just a secretary
01:07:52He's not President Walker
01:07:54This is our turf
01:07:55Where does he get off strutting around like that?
01:07:57How does Thomas even have an ally at the Walker Group?
01:07:59Gala is in three days
01:08:03I have to have Bennett timber before then
01:08:05Harriet Walker
01:08:06You may have forgotten we've met before
01:08:13Perhaps you're mistaken
01:08:14A lady as striking as you
01:08:16I'd certainly remember you
01:08:17I'm not mistaken
01:08:18You were my first mentor
01:08:20You taught me how to build my own business
01:08:22Now you're in trouble
01:08:23I've come to help
01:08:29Fifty million?
01:08:32Good heavens, Miss
01:08:33Fifty million
01:08:34Enough to cover your workers' wages
01:08:36And your mother's cancer treatment
01:08:37And
01:08:37Buy a stake in Bennett timber
01:08:39In the Walker Group's name
01:08:40Then inject one billion
01:08:42Under my personal name
01:08:44Boss
01:08:45Bennett timber's cash flow has collapsed
01:08:47It's on the brink of bankruptcy
01:08:49Your investment will go straight down the drain
01:08:51You think I've lost my head
01:08:52Over a debt of gratitude?
01:08:54No
01:08:54Let me tell you
01:08:55This will be the single best investment
01:08:58Of my career
01:08:59Any company run by Thomas Bennett
01:09:01Is destined to become the finest in the world
01:09:05Understood
01:09:05Tell me
01:09:06Who provided for you all these years
01:09:08Sent you to the finest schools
01:09:09Your wish was his command
01:09:10Thomas really loved you as his own
01:09:12Not this again
01:09:13He cheated
01:09:14He stiffed the workers
01:09:15He ran the company into the ground
01:09:16He's not our father
01:09:17Clara, what about you?
01:09:19Thomas doted on you most of all
01:09:22Dresses, carriages, jewels
01:09:23He could never say no to you
01:09:25You sure know how to act loyal
01:09:27When I offered to make you my assistant
01:09:29You wouldn't even look at me
01:09:30So
01:09:31You prefer old men?
01:09:32You watch your mouth
01:09:34All these years
01:09:35He's been funneling the company's money
01:09:37And the family's money
01:09:38Out here
01:09:38Bit by bit
01:09:40To keep his second home
01:09:41Grace, you're shameless
01:09:43An old relative lent this house
01:09:45To Thomas temporarily
01:09:47John Miller
01:09:48Three months wages
01:09:49Two kids waiting on winter coats
01:09:50Sam Wilson
01:09:51Sick wife
01:09:52No food left in the house
01:09:53Peter Brown
01:09:54Still can't afford the cost of his mother's funeral
01:09:56You hear that?
01:09:57Your workers can barely survive
01:09:59All because of your bad decisions
01:10:01This house is only borrowed
01:10:06From now on
01:10:07Everything belongs to the new management
01:10:09The sawmills
01:10:10Timberland
01:10:11Dock contracts
01:10:12And railroad tie supply rights
01:10:14Thomas Bennett
01:10:16You're finally nothing now
01:10:20Ma'am
01:10:21Does this mean we'll get our back pay now?
01:10:26Oh
01:10:26A transfer of ownership is complicated business
01:10:29Until the books are sorted out
01:10:31The wages will have to wait
01:10:32Wait!
01:10:34You work for us now
01:10:35Think twice before you run your mouth
01:10:40Work for you?
01:10:41Over my dead body!
01:10:44Don't you dare!
01:10:46I'm a lady
01:10:46I'm Miss Bennett
01:10:47You're no lady
01:10:48You're just that
01:10:49Viper's little bastard
01:10:51Get out!
01:10:52Get out you bastards!
01:10:54Boss, I don't know what to say
01:10:57Alright
01:10:58You all got paid
01:10:59Go on, all of you
01:11:00Don't keep your families waiting
01:11:02Mr. Bennett
01:11:03The gala is about to start
01:11:04The car is waiting outside
01:11:05You
01:11:05You
01:11:05I feel like you're
