00:00:02My name is Aiden Vandergruth. I'm 10. Today I'm interviewing blind dates for my dad,
00:00:09which means I'm picking my new mom.
00:00:18Good morning, Mr. Whitmore.
00:00:23Remember the deal, buddy? You make the call today. Whoever you like, I marry.
00:00:30Okay, but why do I have to look like I live in a dumpster?
00:00:36Because it's the only way we'll know if they actually have a heart.
00:00:43The first lady took one look at my shirt and walked right out the door.
00:00:51The second one was really pretty.
00:00:54Hey, what do you think you're doing? Ew, you're filthy!
00:00:59But I don't think she liked me. The next one wanted a mansion and a yacht.
00:01:05I don't even know what that is.
00:01:08So, does your daddy even have a yacht?
00:01:11We probably can't afford one.
00:01:14Your dad must be a real loser.
00:01:17You don't need a stepmom, kid. You need a charity.
00:01:24Finding a mom is taking forever.
00:01:35Lou, I said two o'clock and I meant two o'clock.
00:01:41Yeah, I'm at the blind date right now. Five minutes, in and out, then I'm hauling your freight. Relax.
00:01:50All right, let's get this over with. I'm Claire Doyle. I drive a rig.
00:01:55Who the heck are you? The broker said booth six.
00:01:59I'm Aiden Vandergruth. I'm here to do my dad's blind date.
00:02:05You? You're covering for your dad?
00:02:08What is his face wanted by the FBI? He sends a kid to do his dirty work?
00:02:14And look at you.
00:02:18You're a mess, kid. You look like you just rolled around in the mud.
00:02:27Good grief, your toes are hanging out of your shoes.
00:02:33Your dad can't even find the time to get you a new pair of shoes.
00:02:4128. 28 ladies who hate me.
00:02:45Hey, come on now. Try these on.
00:02:53I've never had new shoes before.
00:02:56Bought them for my little girl. 59 bucks, completely wrong size.
00:03:02Store wouldn't take them back, so they've just been taking up space in my cab.
00:03:06Go on. Try them on.
00:03:10What, waiting for a written invitation? Come here.
00:03:20Hey, look at that. Cinderella fit. How's it feel? Squishing your toes at all?
00:03:27What? Do I have something on my face?
00:03:31My mom used to do that for me.
00:03:34Oh, your folks split up or something? Who walked out on who?
00:03:41She died.
00:03:43Oh, buddy. Look, let's get you a drink. My treat.
00:03:5138 dollars for orange juice? What's in it? Liquid gold?
00:03:57Come on, kid.
00:04:00I know a place that doesn't rob people.
00:04:05Better, right?
00:04:07Yeah.
00:04:14Hey! Watch where you're driving, jerk! You almost soaked a kid!
00:04:21Come on, sweetie. Let's go home.
00:04:27Mommy?
00:04:32Catch me in my 18-wheeler and I'll flatten your bumper into a pancake.
00:04:36Morons.
00:04:43Hey, what's wrong? You okay?
00:04:45Claire, will you be my mom?
00:04:49My name is Aiden Vandergruf. I'm 10.
00:04:54Kid, you're picking out a mom like you're picking out produce.
00:04:59I haven't even met your dad.
00:05:02What if he's a total creep?
00:05:04Come on! I'm taking you to meet him right now!
00:05:12Hey, wait!
00:05:14My truck is still parked back there!
00:05:19I've got a home to deliver!
00:05:26Two billion into the Cloud Hebel project.
00:05:28I want ground broken by Tuesday. No excuses.
00:05:31Yes, Mr. Whitworth.
00:05:34Sir, the young master found himself a step-mom.
00:05:37He's bringing her into the lobby right now.
00:05:41They're here already?
00:05:43Quick, take me down there.
00:05:57Whoa, your dad works here?
00:06:02Why has he got you dressed like a street urchin?
00:06:05Wait, is your dad the janitor here?
00:06:09Or like, the night guard?
00:06:13Nope, my dad is...
00:06:15Aiden Vandergruf!
00:06:27Hold the perimeter. Nobody blows Mr. Whitmorm's cover.
00:06:30Nice weather today, huh?
00:06:32Wow, would you look at that?
00:06:33You can practically see your reflection in these floors.
00:06:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:37Why is our boss dressed like a mechanic for a blind date?
00:06:41Has he been watching too much reality TV?
00:06:45You want a gold digger raising the kid?
00:06:47It's a stress test. Now keep your head down.
00:06:53Daddy, why are you wearing that?
00:06:57Just moving some heavy boxes for the big bosses today, buddy. Didn't want to ruin my Sunday best.
00:07:05Daddy, this is my new mom!
00:07:08Nice outfit. You moonlining as a janitor?
00:07:12And don't just claim me, kid. You might not be picky, but I actually have standards.
00:07:1828 interviews, and this is the one he brings home?
00:07:21Fine. Let's see what she's made of.
00:07:24Should we find a place to sit down? Grab a drink?
00:07:28Lead the way.
00:07:38You said grab a drink, and here we are, drinking tap water on a bus bench. Classy.
00:07:44Right on schedule. Here comes the complaints.
00:07:47Not a fan of water? Tell you what, it's payday. Let me go grab us some iced teas.
00:07:54Let's splurge.
00:07:56Sit down. Don't waste your money. Water's fine.
00:08:03With how cheap you're acting, I'm scared you'll make me pay you back the difference for the iced tea.
00:08:09If this date goes south.
00:08:15Sir, she just told you not to spend money on her. That's a first.
00:08:27All right, let's do this properly. I'm Grant Whit- Sir!
00:08:34Whitmore Group. Whitmore Group delivery guy, that's me.
00:08:37Grant the delivery guy. Got it.
00:08:40He doesn't just deliver there. My dad owns the whole building.
00:08:46Whoa, the whole building? That's so cool, bud.
00:08:53Okay, buddy, let's not exaggerate. He means I work all over the building. Every floor, you know,
00:08:59hauling stuff. A guy with my resume isn't exactly sitting in the boardroom. I'm just a guy doing
00:09:04the heavy lifting.
00:09:05Really?
00:09:07Yeah. I'm 35. His mom passed a long time ago. It's just been the two of us. I bust my
00:09:14back from
00:09:15dawn till dusk, pulling about three grand a month. But Aiden says he picked you out to be his new
00:09:20mom.
00:09:22So, you think we could make this work? The three of us?
00:09:27Three grand? A month? In this city? And you've got the nerve to bring up marriage?
00:09:35Three grand? A month? In this city? And you've got the nerve to bring up marriage?
00:09:40Right on cue. The money always does it. Sorry, buddy. Your mom radar's busted this time.
00:09:46Hello? Are you even listening to me?
00:09:51What exactly are you trying to say? That you're not even trying. Wait. What did she just say?
00:09:58I didn't even finish high school. But I drive an 18-wheeler and pull in eight grand a month.
00:10:04I give my girl a good life. And you want to know what actually makes me mad? It's not your
00:10:09paycheck.
00:10:09It's your attitude. We can break our backs for our kids. But they shouldn't have to suffer with us.
00:10:19Look at him. You bring your boy out here in rags? He's got to walk around like that in front
00:10:24of strangers?
00:10:26The only decent thing on him is the pair of sneakers I bought him. Kids have pride, Grant. That little
00:10:33boy has pride.
00:10:35What kind of father lets his son go out in public like that? Oh, man. She's eating you alive, sir.
00:10:45Yikes. Wife is really letting him have it. We're not married. You want him? Take him. Keep walking.
00:11:00Dad, does she hate me? Okay. Maybe I overplayed the broke card. Nobody in their right mind would stay for
00:11:07this.
00:11:13It's her! You two getting in or what?
00:11:18Cleared it with the floor manager. You empty this trailer, you get 300 bucks.
00:11:25All of this? By myself?
00:11:27It's 5,000 pounds. Don't be a baby. Earn the cash and go buy your kids some decent clothes.
00:11:33There's your cut for the haul, Claire. Count it if you want.
00:11:37We're good, Lou. I trust you.
00:11:42Seriously, though, where did you dig this guy up? Looks like he's never worked a day in his life.
00:11:48Been at it all afternoon and barely made a dent. Guy's useless. You tie yourself to a man who can't
00:11:55even lift a box. You're going to be miserable. Should have let me set you up with my guy from
00:12:01the
00:12:01docks. Pulls in 800 a day. Easy. Back up.
00:12:18What is the point of being six foot whatever if you can't even hold a box?
00:12:23Are you even a man? No degree, no muscle, no money. What exactly do you bring to the table?
00:12:32You expect a wife to just suffer through life with you?
00:12:38You talk to me like that. Do you have any idea who I am?
00:12:45Just sit down and catch your breath. I'll do the heavy lifting.
00:12:49You're going to move these? What's the alternative? Wait for you? We'd be here until Christmas.
00:12:55I'm the man here. I should be ticked. So what? You think a Y-Bruman makes you a forklift?
00:13:00You think a woman has to sit around waiting for a guy to carry her weight or pay her bills?
00:13:04News flash. Anything you can haul, I can haul just as well.
00:13:07She really isn't like anyone I've ever met.
00:13:11Let me help.
00:13:18Hey, what happened? Let me see. It's nothing. Just a scratch.
00:13:24Don't do that. You want a bacterial infection? Hold still.
00:13:28Next time you get cut, you clean it properly. Don't just ignore it, okay?
00:13:35Claire, why is your face so red?
00:13:39What? No, it's not. It's just, it's really hot in here.
00:13:42I can fan you if you want.
00:13:45Look at you three. Perfect little family.
00:13:49Good hustle today, buddy. Here's your cut.
00:13:53I'll take that.
00:13:55So that's it. She just wanted the 300 bucks. I guess I really played myself.
00:14:00What? You got a problem with that?
00:14:03No problem. Keep it.
00:14:05Good. Because from now on, I handle our family's money.
00:14:09Sure. Whatever you do.
00:14:12Wait. What did you just say? Our family? Our family. She said our family.
00:14:23What exactly does that mean?
00:14:25It means I'm not after your money, Grant. I know what it looked like last night.
00:14:28I'm not going to pretend it didn't, but I came back this morning, didn't I?
00:14:30I'm standing here. That's me saying I want to see where this goes.
00:14:33With you, with Aiden, all of it.
00:14:40Last night, I was sure she just wanted the 300 bucks.
00:14:42Now she's standing here saying the opposite.
00:14:44And the thing that kills me is, I believe her.
00:14:50You two finally on the same page? Good.
00:14:53Because watching you dance around each other is exhausting.
00:14:56A little extra for the household. Congrats, you two.
00:15:01I appreciate this. Thank you, Lou.
00:15:03Thanks, Lou.
00:15:04Consider it an early wedding gift. Catch you later.
00:15:08Take care.
00:15:12So you're really going to be my mom? I don't have to be the kid without a mom anymore?
00:15:16I don't have much. You sure about this?
00:15:21Who cares? We're just regular people trying to get by. You're a grown man raising a kid on your own.
00:15:27You might be a little rough around the edges, but you show up for him.
00:15:30That's enough for me. As long as you're willing to put in the work, we'll figure the rest out together.
00:15:34She means it. Every woman I've ever known wanted the money, the name, the status. She just wants this.
00:15:41We'll put in the work. Together.
00:15:52All right, enough of that in front of the kid. Tonight, come to my place. I want you to meet
00:15:55my daughter. We'll be there.
00:16:02Is she nice?
00:16:19Don't just sit there. Say hi to Grant.
00:16:22Hey.
00:16:27Hey there. I was in a bit of a rush getting here. Didn't know exactly what you were into.
00:16:31I figured you couldn't go wrong with Barbie. Got this for you. Hope you like it.
00:16:36I already have this one.
00:16:41Oh. Uh.
00:16:43It's okay. You didn't know.
00:16:52Fair enough. That was a total amateur move on my part. My bad.
00:16:57Claire's a saint, and this kid's got a good poker face. Reminds me of someone.
00:17:01Next time I'll do better. Any hints? What are you actually into?
00:17:06I like art stuff. Markers and things.
00:17:10Markers. Got it. I can work with that.
00:17:13She's just a kid. Don't blow your cover trying to be the big shot. Keep it simple. Keep it real.
00:17:23Interesting kid.
00:17:29The ultimate S.A.T. mastery bundle?
00:17:34Exactly. I'd rather put this time into something that actually matters for my future.
00:17:38Maya, honey, we've been over this. You're a kid. You're allowed to just be a kid and play. You don't
00:17:42need to be grinding through textbooks every waking second. Mom, I just want to work really hard so I can
00:17:46take care of you someday. I want you to have a good life. That's all I'm thinking about.
00:17:51Wow. All right. All right. I'll just sit back and let you take care of everything then.
00:17:55You guys make yourselves at home. I'm going to start dinner. Let me give you a hand with that.
00:17:58Not a chance. You sit.
00:18:04Can we play a game now? Yeah, definitely. Let's do timed practice sections.
00:18:26Can we just turn the TV on just for a second? No, you haven't even finished this section. Look at
00:18:32this one. It's basic math and you messed it up. Erase it and do it again. The kid's been a
00:18:36nightmare
00:18:36with tutors since day one. Must have chewed through a hundred of them. Finally, someone who can actually
00:18:42keep her in line. All right. Clear a space. Soup's up. Whoa. The big pieces. Here you go, Maya. Eat
00:18:53up.
00:18:56Of course. Not her own blood. She's always going to play favorites. Did I make a massive mistake
00:19:02bringing her here? And these two monsters are for you, Aiden. You're a growing girl. Yes!
00:19:27You're a growing girl. You're a growing girl. You're a growing girl. You're a growing girl.
00:19:27Thanks, Mom.
00:19:38Ten years I've kept him isolated. I really thought my money was enough. I was wrong.
00:19:48Hello? No, I am not marrying that bald crap. I told you I already found someone. Why would I lie
00:19:52about that?
00:19:53Fine. I'll bring him by tomorrow. You? Tomorrow? My parents' house? We're getting engaged.
00:20:02Come again?
00:20:14Tell me we're ready. Ten million in the wire transfer, the deed to the penthouse in the heights,
00:20:18and three million in custom diamonds. Locked and loaded, sir. You ready to go get your new mom?
00:20:26Let's do it.
00:20:31A bricklater? Making three grand a month with a ten-year-old kid? Are you out of your mind?
00:20:36I told you, it's handled. He's coming to propose today. Should be hitting the edge of town right about now.
00:20:43Yeah! A broke brickler! Over my dead bite!
00:20:57Beggars can't be choosers, Claire. The guy owns three coal mines. He pulls in seven figures. You should be kissing
00:21:01the ground he walks on.
00:21:03Plus, if you marry him, Cody gets a management spot at the mine. You gotta think about the family for
00:21:06once, not just yourself.
00:21:07Come on, sis. Take one for the team.
00:21:11I'm done. From now on, Claire Doyle looks out for Claire Doyle and my daughter. I'm not settling for anyone's
00:21:16leftovers ever again.
00:21:17Tell him, Mom!
00:21:17We are trying to secure your future, you ungrateful brat!
00:21:20I hear his fancy car. I don't care. He's not setting one foot past this gate. I'm locking it right
00:21:24now!
00:21:24It's my wedding, Walter. Your permission wasn't on the registry. I'm just giving you a heads up so you don't
00:21:28act surprised.
00:21:28Watch your mouth! I am your father!
00:21:30Stepfather, let's not blur the lines. Please, Walter, let it go. She's a grown woman. Let her make her own
00:21:35choices.
00:21:36Sip it, Margaret! We hand her a millionaire on a silver platter and she throws it away for some guy
00:21:39who lays bricks!
00:21:41A millionaire? You mean Dale Sinclair? The guy's got three hairs left on his head!
00:21:44If we ever got into a fight, I wouldn't even have anything to grab!
00:21:47Take one for the team? I've been taking it for the team my whole life.
00:21:50Walter drilled it into my head since I was ten. I dropped out of high school to pay your tuition.
00:21:53I made two grand a month driving trucks and sent you 800 of it. And what did you get on
00:21:56your SATs, Cody?
00:21:57You bombed it! You're useless!
00:21:58My future? Or Cody's? You picked my first husband too, remember? Promise me the moon? Turned out he was a
00:22:02drunk who gambled away the rent.
00:22:02I barely lasted a year. So yeah, I'm picking my own husband this time.
00:22:04We'll pick better. Probably having Dale that keeps in his ashtray.
00:22:06Don't come crying to us for grocery money when you're living in a trailer.
00:22:09Exactly. Guy probably can't even afford a decent six pack to bring to the door.
00:22:12I bet he's peddling his rusty little tenskier up the dirt road right now, huffing and puffing.
00:22:32What is he doing here?
00:22:35What is he doing here?
00:22:45Dale! Mr. Sinclair, what an absolute honor. To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:22:49I'm here for Claire, making it official today. Vintage McAllen, imported Cuban cigars, a couple of Rolex.
00:22:54Oh, and the main event, a cashier's check for $880,000.
00:22:58Back off. Nobody's selling me today. If you're so desperate for his money, go divorce my brother and marry him
00:23:03yourself.
00:23:04Excuse me? Oh my god! Dale, you are way too generous. A catch like you, Claire would be out of
00:23:10her mind not to marry you even without the cash.
00:23:12Back off. Nobody's selling me today. If you're so desperate for his money, go divorce my brother and marry him
00:23:17yourself. Excuse me?
00:23:19Come on, Claire. I hear you're still out there driving those big rigs. Why work yourself to the bone like
00:23:24a man? Marry me.
00:23:25You can stay home, lounge by the pool, sit mimosas, easy living. And the kid? I'll put her in that
00:23:29$800,000 a year prep school. No more sweating over public school tests. I'm giving you a way out.
00:23:36We don't need your money. Keep it.
00:24:04St. Clair!
00:24:07Get back here! We're not finished!
00:24:17Look, Dale. You've got a great bank account, but I'm just not into the shiny head. Pack up the boxes
00:24:23and hit the road.
00:24:25Plus, you're double booked. The guy I'm actually marrying is showing up today to put a ring on it.
00:24:31Excuse me?
00:24:33Cody! What kind of circus are you running here?
00:24:35Dale, man, I'm sorry. She's just, she's acting out right now.
00:24:42Have you lost your damn mind, Claire? I'm telling you right now, there is no negotiation. You are marrying Mr.
00:24:46Sinclair. You can pack your bags. I'll cut you off completely. You won't be a Doyle anymore.
00:24:49Good! Cut us off. Mom and I don't need a bunch of greedy leeches anyway. I'll get a scholarship and
00:24:53buy her a real house.
00:24:54You little brat! I'll teach you some respect!
00:24:58Stop it! Just let her marry who she wants!
00:25:06You sold her to a gambling attic the first time just to get a payout. You ruined her life once.
00:25:11I won't let you do it again.
00:25:13Shut your mouth!
00:25:16Grab her!
00:25:20Don't you touch her! You put one more hand on her and I swear to God!
00:25:27She is your wife. She defended me. You hit her for that. I will never forgive you for this. Not
00:25:35ever. Not ever.
00:25:43You want to hit my mother? Fine! Nobody walks out of this yard today!
00:25:53Are you crazy? Put that down!
00:25:56Claire, come on. You're being totally unreasonable right now.
00:26:04You beat my mother and you want to talk to me about being reasonable? Bullshit!
00:26:07Get on your knees and apologize to her right now or I swear to God this doesn't end.
00:26:11Apologize to my own wife? Not a chance in hell.
00:26:13Yeah! We didn't even do anything wrong! You're not going to do anything!
00:26:20Not going to apologize, right? Good.
00:26:35You pull a weapon on your own father? You're out of your damn mind!
00:26:45Walter Doyle? My mother swallowed your garbage for 30 years and I am done swallowing it for her.
00:26:51You are going to look her in the eye and apologize. Right now!
00:26:53Claire, come on. Put it down.
00:26:56Claire, please! Drop it! Don't do this!
00:27:02Apologize. Say it to her.
00:27:05The girl's completely snapped. Nope. No way.
00:27:10You bring a psycho like that into the house, you don't wake up in the morning.
00:27:12You folks, you work this out yourselves. I'm out.
00:27:14Dale! Wait!
00:27:18You crazy bitch. You just scared off the only money this trash hope is ever going to see.
00:27:22What kind of man is ever going to want a psychotic, broken down spinster like you?
00:27:26What kind of man is ever going to want a psychotic, broken down spinster like you?
00:27:43I want her.
00:27:54I want her.
00:27:57Look at the cut on that jacket. That's real money.
00:27:59Makes Dale look like a cheap joke, doesn't it?
00:28:02Dressed up like a billionaire. Bet he still hauls bricks for a living.
00:28:05Please. He probably rented the whole get it just to come down here and play the big shot.
00:28:13Mom! Grandma! Grandpa!
00:28:16Oh, look at you. Aren't you sweet?
00:28:19Hold it right there, kid. I'm nobody's grandpa yet.
00:28:23Uncle Cody? Aunt Brittany?
00:28:26Uh, yeah. Hey.
00:28:29Aiden, get over here. Those are the bad guys.
00:28:32Mr. Doyle. Mrs. Hidges. I came here today to formally ask for Claire's hand. I've prepared.
00:28:36Let's skip the polite garbage. You want my daughter? We do things a certain way around here.
00:28:39It's 50,000 for the dowry, plus another 20,000 to help my boy build a new house. 70 grand
00:28:43total.
00:28:43Unbelievable.
00:28:44We brought 8 million in the trunk and these idiots are holding around walk right back out for 70 grand.
00:28:47So, just 70,000? That's all you want?
00:28:52Dad, you're pushing it. A construction worker doesn't have 700 grand.
00:28:54You already scared off the factory manager. If this guy walks, we get nothing.
00:28:57I'll tell you what. I'm in a freedening mood today. Let's call it a family discount. Half
00:29:00a million flat. A discount? He's auctioning off his own kid.
00:29:03Did it before, too. Sold her to that deadbeat drunk for 100 grand the first time around.
00:29:06Now he wants five times that?
00:29:07For a divorced woman with baggage? She ain't worth half a million.
00:29:10Boss, these people are absolute vultures. We're not actually indulging this, are we?
00:29:15I'm Marion Claire. Whatever she wants to do, we do.
00:29:20Walter Doyle! Half a million dollars? Are you out of your mind? She's your daughter,
00:29:24not a piece of livestock. I put a roof over her head for 20 years. I'm collecting my return on
00:29:29investment.
00:29:32It's fine, Mom. Let him have it. Pay the man.
00:29:36Unbelievable. Rewarding these parasites here.
00:29:39Put the plastic away. That's too much effort. I got this.
00:29:50Five bucks. That's what I'm worth to you? Fine. I'm buying myself back.
00:30:10Five dollars? What the hell is this supposed to mean?
00:30:13It means I'm done. I've bled for this family since I was a kid. Five bucks? That's my buyout. As
00:30:17of right
00:30:17now, I don't owe you a single cent and we are no longer family.
00:30:19Too ungrateful, little brat. I put a roof over your head. I raised you.
00:30:23Save it. You didn't raise me. Every dime you had went straight to Cody. The only person in this house
00:30:27who ever gave a damn about me was Mom. She washed my clothes, she cooked my meals, she slipped me
00:30:31whatever
00:30:31spare chain she could hide from you. You? You treated the stray dogs in the alley better than you ever
00:30:35treated me. And I'm not just cutting ties. I'm taking my mother. She's coming to live with me.
00:30:39Her days of being your unpaid servant and walking on eggshells around you are over. Let's go, Mom.
00:30:43Mom? Boss, she does not take prisoners. Told you I had good taste. Let's go.
00:30:53Dad, wait. If Mom leaves, who's going to cook dinner tonight? Let the country bumpkin throw
00:30:59her a little tantrum. She doesn't have a dime to her name. Don't worry about it, Cody. She'll be back
00:31:04by dinner.
00:31:08Wait right here, Mom. I'll go pull the rig around. No need. We're taking this one. Whose is that?
00:31:16A Rolls? That's a half million dollar car. It's mine. I'll explain later. Just get in.
00:31:25Hold it right there! Alright, you've had your little tantrum. Now get back inside and start dinner.
00:31:29Yeah, Mom. Dad's practically begging. Don't push it. Besides, what kind of life are you going to have
00:31:33with this broke brick waiter? That car's a rental, honey. I can smell the hertz on it.
00:31:35Exactly. You guys are going to be eating breadcrumbs by Tuesday.
00:31:37Listen to me very carefully. She's with us now. I'm going to give them a life you can't even
00:31:41comprehend. Stay out of our way. You?! Please! You haul boxes for minimum wage and you've
00:31:46got three mouths to feed now. You'll be living in a cardboard box!
00:31:49Enough of this garbage. Get in the house, now!
00:31:54Go back yourself. I'm done.
00:32:03So who's cooking tonight?
00:32:08Dad. I think she actually left.
00:32:11Great going, Walter. You just had to push her. Now who's making dinner?
00:32:16Who's making it?! You are! Get in the kitchen!
00:32:19Excuse me? I don't cook! Cody, tell him!
00:32:23I should have asked you first. Dragging my mom into this. Are you furious?
00:32:28Furious about what? Your family is my family, Claire.
00:32:32That's five mouths to feed now. I'm going to have to pick up double chips at the yard just to
00:32:36keep
00:32:36the lights on. You won't have to worry anymore.
00:32:39What does that mean? Where are we even going? We're going to our new home.
00:32:44Don't cry, Grandma. We're safe now. I'm not sad, sweetheart. It's just 30 years. It's the first time I feel
00:32:50like I can actually breathe.
00:32:51When I get bigger, I'm going to make a million dollars. I'll buy you the biggest house in the world,
00:32:55Grandma. Nobody will ever yell at you again. You're a good girl, Maya. Aiden, honey,
00:33:00is your dad's place going to fit all of us? I don't want to crowd you. I can always find
00:33:04a friend's couch
00:33:04for a few weeks. Trust me, Grandma. We've got room.
00:33:18Grandma, this is home now.
00:33:21Mom, Maya, you made it. Let's get you inside.
00:33:25Grant, honey, where did Claire go? She was in the car when we left. I didn't see her get out.
00:33:31Right. About that. Frank, are you serious? Eight grand for one run? Yes, I'll take it. Thank you.
00:33:37Just bagged a massive long haul. Two thousand miles, eight thousand bucks. I need to go load
00:33:41the rig right now. Grant, pull over. Claire, wait. You don't have to kill yourself driving
00:33:47trucks anymore. I'm actually- Babe, we've got a whole house of people depending on us now.
00:33:51If I don't hustle, how are we going to feed them? I'll only be gone a few days. Just take
00:33:54good care
00:33:54of my mom and Maya for me, okay? Hey, be careful out there. Always.
00:34:03Let's head inside and get settled. Grant, did you actually buy this place?
00:34:13Mr. Whitmerd, everything is prepared as you requested.
00:34:21Welcome home, Margaret. You and Maya can finally relax. This is all yours now.
00:34:26But Claire always said you loaded boxes at a warehouse, and yet the butler just called
00:34:30you Mr. Whitmore like you own the whole county, which I'm starting to think you do.
00:34:32Grandma, please, look at him. You're not a mover. You're the boss, aren't you?
00:34:36That obvious, huh? I guess the butler already did the introduction for me.
00:34:39I don't just study math all day. I watch TV. The undercover billionaire stepdad is a classic trope.
00:34:44A boss? Wait, so you make, what, $10,000 a month?
00:34:48Let's just say I can keep the lights on for us. Mom still thinks we're completely broke.
00:34:51She's out there hauling freight right now, so when are you telling Mom the truth?
00:34:54As soon as she finishes this run, I'll come clean. Until then, just let yourselves be spoiled.
00:35:03Welcome home, madam.
00:35:13Gotta make enough for the family. Time to roll.
00:35:22Doyle, you're putting us in an awkward position. Can't you just sit down and have a proper meal?
00:35:26A dollar's a dollar, Mac. You guys want to waste time at a diner, go ahead. I'm on the clock.
00:35:31You're putting us in an awkward position. Can't you just sit down and have a proper meal?
00:35:35Got mouths to feed. I push through a few more of these long hauls. My mom and my kid can
00:35:39actually
00:35:39breathe for a minute. Well done, girl. Two days since I called. Hope Mom's holding up okay with everything.
00:35:53Ma'am, your daughter is calling.
00:36:01Hey, sweetie.
00:36:04Who is this?
00:36:07It's your mother, sweetheart.
00:36:09Mom, why are you dressed like that? Where are you right now?
00:36:14Oh, just home.
00:36:17Grant? Grant Whitmore? The guy who hauls boxes for three grand a month? He got you a mansion with a
00:36:21staff?
00:36:22Mom, are you being scammed right now? Oh, stop it. It's your husband. He set all this up.
00:36:26A few days ago, I was still scrubbing floors for Walter out in the country. I've never seen a house
00:36:30like this, Claire. We've got maids, honey. Maids. You walked out on Walter just a few days ago. What,
00:36:34did Grant win the lottery while I wasn't looking? Why would I lie? I texted you the address. Just finish
00:36:39your route and come see for yourself. Now, let me go. My neck massage is starting. Mom, wait, don't hang...
00:36:43There is no way that was real.
00:36:50This, this is the address.
00:36:55Okay, either Grant hit the lottery or something's very wrong.
00:37:02Skyline Estates? Mom definitely copy pasted the wrong zip code.
00:37:11Hey, done with your route? Grant, listen. Mom sent me an address for the new place. I'm sitting
00:37:15outside something called Skyline Estates. There are literal fountains out here. Tell me she made a typo.
00:37:19No typo. Just go up and knock. I'll be home soon to explain everything, okay? See you in a bit.
00:37:26Are they pranking me? Whatever. Let's just get this over with.
00:37:34Can I help you? I'm looking for my mom. Your mom? Yeah. Margaret Hicks and my daughter,
00:37:41Maya Doyle. Are they inside? Oh, yes, ma'am. Let me go get them. No way. They're actually in there?
00:37:48I asked
00:37:49Grant to keep an eye on them and he stashed them in a mansion. What did he do? Rob a
00:37:52bank? Hit the Powerball?
00:37:54Mom's here. Oh, good. You found it.
00:38:01What? Why are you dressed like that? What are you wearing? Oh, it's my uniform, sweetie. Your
00:38:08uniform? Yeah. We actually asked if we could help out around the place. We didn't want to just sit
00:38:13here doing nothing. Housekeeping, dusting, that sort of thing. Let me get this straight. You're
00:38:17living in a multi-million dollar mansion and you volunteered to scrub the floors? Then what's she
00:38:21wearing? I'm the study buddy. Aiden asked me herself. I get to read with the young lady of the house
00:38:25during my break. She's actually really sweet. Hey, we don't pay you to stand around chatting.
00:38:30Hurry up. And you get back to the study room. Right away, ma'am. Sorry.
00:38:36Hey, you made it. You want hot pot tonight? Oh, wait. I've been out there hauling freight for
00:38:41weeks, breaking my back. And I come home to find my mom and my daughter running around in uniforms in
00:38:46your house. Did you even try to stop them? You've got 10 minutes. Start talking.
00:38:50They insisted. I told them they didn't have to. Your mom said she'd go crazy just sitting around
00:38:53and Maya latched onto Aiden the first day. Nine minutes.
00:38:59Maya, help me out. Your mom gets back tomorrow. Do I go with the diamond ring or the necklace?
00:39:03If you want to keep the dad title, you won't buy a single thing. Wait, why?
00:39:07My mom despises liars. If she finds out you've been faking this whole poor guy routine,
00:39:11you're dead meat. I need to save. Fast. Sweetheart, don't be mad at him. I was just going
00:39:16stragrazy at home. Figured I'd pick up a few shifts, help out with the groceries. Exactly. And I'm just
00:39:19here for the academics. Tutoring rich kids is basically my hobby. Grant's been working himself
00:39:23to the bone, Claire. Taking every delivery job he can get, sweating through his shirts just to save
00:39:26up a few bucks. Save up? Save up for what? I'm the one keeping the lights on.
00:39:35To buy you this.
00:39:40You, you bought this for me? We kind of skipped the whole wedding part.
00:39:43You still deserve the rock. Grant, what were you thinking? We can't afford this kind of luxury.
00:39:49Okay, I'm not gonna lie. It looks incredible. How much was it?
00:39:54It wasn't bad. Two grand. Two grand? Are you out of your mind? That's a fortune!
00:40:00If I told her it was 20 million, she'd literally skin me alive. Yeah, for my own survival,
00:40:04the billionaire secret stays in the vault. You're an idiot, but you're my idiot.
00:40:09Don't mention it. Whatever you want, I'll get it for you.
00:40:12Dad! I cleared out the recycling for the whole block!
00:40:15Oh my God! You sent the poor kid out to dig through the trash?
00:40:18We are taking this bit way too far. Hey, hey, it's honest work. As long as we all
00:40:22pull our weight and stick together, this family is gonna be just fine.
00:40:26You're right. We're gonna make it work.
00:40:31Oh, thank God, Mr. Grant Whitmore. Please, sir, I'm begging you. Just give Starlight Group
00:40:35one chance to partner with you. You called him? Grant Whitmore? Look, Claire, I'm kind of a legend
00:40:44in the freight game. Independent contractor, basically the CEO of Lifting Heavy Things.
00:40:47The CEO of Lifting, right. So what was that partnership he was just begging you for?
00:40:51Oh, that? He's got a massive warehouse clear out, needs the best back in the business,
00:40:54had to track me down personally. He drove a luxury sedan all the way out here just to hire one
00:40:57guy to
00:40:58move boxes? I'm very efficient. Five-star rating. Anyway, you go warm up the truck, I'll lock down
00:41:02the logistics with Mr. Bank right here. Exactly. So, Mr. Whitmore, we have an agreement on the
00:41:06heavy lifting? You got it. We'll talk boxes tomorrow.
00:41:16I just locked a partnership with Whitmore Group? Hell yes!
00:41:20That shoe box you're renting barely fits a twin bed. Just pack your stuff and bring the kid here.
00:41:24It's a dump, but it beats sleeping on top of each other. I'd like that.
00:41:30Mom, your phone's going off. Ryan Ashford? My dad? What the hell does he want from me now?
00:41:39What do you want? Put Maya on. I didn't call to hear your voice.
00:41:43Feelings mutual. Maya, it's your father.
00:41:50Hi, Dad. Okay, I'll think about it.
00:41:58Hey, what did he say? Nothing. He's getting married. He wants me at the wedding. The absolute
00:42:03nerve of that man. Spent years drinking his paychecks and gambling away the rent never gave
00:42:05a damn about this girl. Now he wants her playing prop at his shiny new wedding? Look at me. Do
00:42:09you
00:42:09want to go? No. You sure? Because if you want to go, I'm taking you. We'll walk right in there
00:42:15and see
00:42:15exactly what kind of trash life your deadbeat dad is living these days. Okay. Good. Get back to your homework.
00:42:29Well, well. If it isn't my lovely ex-wife, Claire, did you get lost on your way to the trailer
00:42:36pack?
00:42:37Babe, who is this? Allow me to introduce my beautiful wife, Sloane. And Sloane, this is
00:42:42Claire, the tomboy and ex I told you about. Oh, the truck driver. Wow. You really went all out for
00:42:47a wedding, didn't you? Love the casual look. I didn't send you an invite, Claire. Figured seeing
00:42:51me upgrade to someone this gorgeous would just be too hard on you. Didn't want you getting jealous.
00:42:55Don't flatter yourself, Ryan. You aren't the only one who moved on. I just got remarried myself.
00:42:58The only reason I stepped foot in this circus is because my daughter wanted to come.
00:43:02Dad? Well, look at you. You've gotten so tall, Maya. Hang on a second. Here. Daddy got you a special
00:43:09present. I don't even like cars, but he actually got me something. He still cares.
00:43:14Thank you, Dad. Hey, why does she have my old junk? I threw that in the trash.
00:43:26Hey, buddy. It's okay. You know what, Maya? You didn't even like this clunky old thing anyway,
00:43:30right? Tell you what. Daddy will get you the brand new model next week. We'll just let him keep this
00:43:32one. But you said you went to the store and picked it out just for me.
00:43:35I did. And your brother, Tansy, barely even touched the box. It's basically brand new.
00:43:42Unbelievable. For a second there, I actually thought you were trying to be a real father today,
00:43:45but you're just palling off his hand-me-down trash on your own kid. Oh, please. She should be grateful
00:43:48she's getting anything. I hear that new guy you're dragging around hauls boxes for a living. A toy
00:43:51like this is what half-ford it. Beggars can't be choosers, Claire. What my husband makes is none of
00:43:54your business. But you, Ryan, you abandon your actual flesh and blood just to play daddy to a kid,
00:43:58what, he takes your last name and father of the year? And you think you can toss my daughter his
00:44:00garbage like it's charity? Keep your voice down, Claire. Watch your mouth. Oh, I haven't even started.
00:44:04You should be on your knees thanking me it's your wedding day or I'd air out exactly-
00:44:07You're just gonna stand there? He's terrorizing your daughter and you do nothing.
00:44:11Careful, buddy. Don't hurt your foot on that junk. Daddy promises. From now on,
00:44:15even your garbage stays yours. Nobody else gets it. My daddy buys me whatever I want. You don't even
00:44:19have one. Mr. Whitfield, are you absolutely sure you shouldn't be at that wedding with him?
00:44:25She's facing her biological father today. It's not my place to intrude. But the guy's a piece of work.
00:44:30He treats that little girl like dirt. You don't understand how blood works,
00:44:33Dean. It leaves a mark. No matter how much he fails her, in her heart, he's still the man
00:44:37who gave her life. Nobody gets to just umberide that. Not even me. Oh, don't look so sour.
00:44:41The boy's just telling the truth. Poor little orphan. You think that new guy your mom dragged in
00:44:45actually cares about you? You're not his blood. Give it a month and he'll kick you out to beg on
00:44:49the
00:44:49street. You're right. I shouldn't hit a child. Are you out of your mind? You just hit me? Talk to
00:44:56my kid
00:44:57like that again. See what I do. Are you just gonna stand there? Do something about this psycho!
00:45:04What is wrong with you, Claire? Always with the hands. You're completely uncraned. Kicking you to
00:45:08the curb was the best move I ever made. Best move you made? Let's get the history straight,
00:45:12Ryan. You were drowning in poker debt, bleeding my paychecks dried. You didn't leave. I threw your
00:45:18deadbeat ass out. Wait, he was broke? I thought he was old money. You're lying! Shut your mouth
00:45:26and apologize to my wife right now! I'll apologize the second you two apologize to Maya. In her dreams!
00:45:34You laid hands on me, Claire. You're gonna pay for this. Whoa, watch out! That's the VIP reserve from the
00:45:42penthouse! It's a six million dollar bottle! Mom! What is wrong with you, Claire? You just wrecked
00:45:57the hotel's entire display. Hey, buddy, how much was that thing anyway? Six million dollars.
00:46:08Six million? What's in it? Unicorn tears? For grape juice? Right this way, Mr. Ellenston. Your 82 Lafotte
00:46:16is perfectly secure. We're having it brought up to your private suite now.
00:46:21My wine. This is your idea of perfectly secure? Mr. Ellenston, please, I am so sorry. If you'll just
00:46:28head up to the suite, I swear I will handle this immediately. Find out! Who did this?
00:46:34Her! She knocked the whole tray over. We all saw it! Exactly. It was all her. My mom didn't do
00:46:41it.
00:46:41She was pushed. Security, pull the footage. Now.
00:46:49Security, pull the overhead feed to this tablet right now.
00:46:55Wait, what? That's not how this is supposed to work. Oh, come on. Is that really necessary?
00:47:00Those lenses are always blurry anyway. You have 50 eyewitnesses right here who saw her smash it.
00:47:04Exactly. Don't waste Mr. Elliston's time with technical difficulties. We all know who did it.
00:47:09I think we have time for a quick movie.
00:47:11What? You think I'm some brain-dead soap opera villain who refuses to look at the actual evidence?
00:47:16Play the tape.
00:47:26Crystal clear. You tripped the waiter. She hit the rack. Shared liability.
00:47:30Three million dollars each. Six million total. We take wire transfers.
00:47:37Congratulations. You played yourself.
00:47:39300,000 is insane. Come on. There has to be some kind of discount for a miser standing like this.
00:47:45Big talker suddenly lost his wallet. Swipe the card, Ryan. We're getting bored.
00:47:49Shut your mouth, Claire. You think this is funny? You're on the hook for the exact same amount.
00:47:54So? I'll pay the second you do. Worst case, we share a cell.
00:47:58I am done negotiating. You pay right now, or I dial 911 and the police can explain the bill to
00:48:04you.
00:48:04No. No cops. I got it. Here.
00:48:10Transaction approved. 300,000 cleared.
00:48:15You actually had that kind of cash sitting around?
00:48:20Damn right I do. Since I dumped you, I've actually been able to build real wealth.
00:48:24300,000? I'll make that back in a year.
00:48:27Your turn, sweetheart. Let's see you match it.
00:48:31How will you be settling your 300,000? Card or wire?
00:48:44You said you'd pay if we paid, Claire. We just cleared our tab. Time to pony up.
00:48:48Just give me a second.
00:48:5142 bucks. Right. Let me just pull three million dollars out of thin air.
00:48:54What's the holder? We don't have all day for you to count your pennies.
00:48:58You know what? I'm tapping out.
00:49:01Grant, it's mom. You need to get here right now.
00:49:07I can't pay it. Take me to jail.
00:49:09Mom, no!
00:49:14Hey, look at me. While I'm in there, you do your homework, okay? Make sure you actually eat your
00:49:18dinner. I'll do my time and come right back to you. Be good.
00:49:31Grant, what are you doing here?
00:49:36You were really gonna let them haul you off to jail before calling your own husband?
00:49:41Thank God someone in this family knows how to use a phone.
00:49:45This is the new guy. Look at him. He's got less in his pockets than you do, Claire. What's a
00:49:50guy in
00:49:50a dirty shirt gonna do to save you? You'd be surprised what I can do. Grant, stop. The wine we
00:49:56broke, it's three million dollars. I said I've got it. Who owns the bottle? Mr. Victor Ellenson,
00:50:03of Star Group. Star Group. Perfect. Where is he? The VIP room down the hall.
00:50:14Give me a minute. I'll be right back.
00:50:18As if the CEO of Star Group is going to give a day laborer the time of day.
00:50:22Let him dig his own grave. I can't wait to see how this plays out.
00:50:27He's been in there way too long. Why hasn't he come out?
00:50:30Take a breath, Mom. It's just three guys. Grant's probably wrapping it up right now.
00:50:35Wrapping it up? Please. He's probably on his hands and knees in there begging them not to break his legs.
00:50:41That's the reality of being broke, Claire. When you can't afford the check, you pay with your dignity.
00:50:47Oh, hell no. You can push me around all you want, but nobody humiliates my man.
00:50:52Please, gentlemen. Three million is impossible. I don't have a dime to my name. Have mercy!
00:51:04Mom?
00:51:05Oh, we are not missing this. Come on.
00:51:14Grant! I'm getting you out of here!
00:51:17Grant, I got you. Hang on. What the hell is going on in here?
00:51:19Hey, nothing crazy. Just having a little heart-to-heart with the guys. Turns out they're incredibly reasonable.
00:51:23They decided to waive the damages entirely. Isn't that right, gentlemen?
00:51:25Absolutely. Mr. Whitmore here. He really put things in perspective for me. Opened my eyes. I pull in eight figures
00:51:29a year,
00:51:29throwing a tantrum over three million. It's embarrassing. Completely petty of me.
00:51:32One hundred percent. Ms. Doyles, we are so incredibly sorry for the misunderstanding.
00:51:35Are you kidding me? She gets a free pass? What about the three million we just wired you?
00:51:39Yeah, Craig, since everybody's in such a forgiving mood today, we'll just take our refund now.
00:51:44A refund? Right. Of course.
00:51:48Not a chance in hell. A refund? Not a chance. Consider that three million an educational expense.
00:51:54Maybe it'll teach your wife to keep her hands to herself.
00:51:56Are you kidding me? Why do they get a free pass?
00:51:59Shut your mouth! You want them to come after us for the full six million? Drop it!
00:52:03Everything's settled. Let's get out of here.
00:52:05I'll be damned. Guess some of these corporate guys actually have a conscience.
00:52:08Just wipe three million off the board like it was nothing.
00:52:10Maya, wait!
00:52:11Ryan Ashford? What the hell do you want now?
00:52:13I just want a minute with my girl. Maya, honey, listen to me.
00:52:15Next time I see you, I'll buy you that brand new toy you wanted. The really expensive one, okay?
00:52:19I don't play with toys anymore. And I already have a dad now. He gets me whatever I need.
00:52:24Keep your money for your new baby. I don't want it.
00:52:26Let's go home, Dad.
00:52:28You got it. Let's go.
00:52:30You ghosted her for her entire childhood, Ryan. Nobody waits around forever. Not even your own flesh and blood.
00:52:35She's gone. Way too close. We were about five seconds away from getting blacklisted by the entire Whitmore group.
00:52:42You're telling me, why the hell does a guy who owns half the industry dress like a day laborer?
00:52:45Must be some kind of weird role play thing with the wife.
00:52:52Hey, back there in the room. Did you really mean it when you called me Dad?
00:52:57Well, yeah. You're my dad, aren't you?
00:53:01Yes!
00:53:03You've been a father for ten years. Try to play it cool.
00:53:05You don't get it. A decade with a boy is one thing. A little girl calling me Dad. A whole
00:53:10new ball game.
00:53:12Dad? Can you buy me something?
00:53:14Anything. Name your price, kiddo. The sky's the limit.
00:53:17Ten full sets of the state standardized prep exams. The thick ones with the answer keys in the back.
00:53:22Uh, what?
00:53:24Your mom didn't show up again, Aiden. Are you sure you even have one?
00:53:30Aiden!
00:53:32Mom! My mom is here! Mom!
00:53:36Finished my route early. Figured I'd come grab ya.
00:53:41Delivery for you.
00:53:42No way! Dad never lets me eat stuff from the street carts. He says it's a health code violation.
00:53:47Please. A little street dirt builds the immune system. Try it. It's pure sugar.
00:53:55Aiden? Is that your mom?
00:53:57Yep. She drove her truck straight from work to get me. And she bought me this.
00:54:04Place looks like a literal palace. What do they even teach you in there? How to be royalties?
00:54:08Half those words are in Latin. Who reads Latin anymore?
00:54:11Dad says it's an exclusive academy for the global elite.
00:54:16The global elite, huh? Tell your dad to lay off the sci-fi movies.
00:54:21Claire? Claire Doyle? Oh my god, is that really you?
00:54:28Diane Sullivan? It's been what, ten years? You look exactly the, well, you look exactly the same.
00:54:36Wait, your kid goes here? Claire, this is an elite academy. Base tuition alone is two million dollars a
00:54:43year. A dock worker doesn't, I mean, that doesn't, how is that possible? Who's actually paying for this?
00:54:49Wait, two million? Base. Add in the meal plans, the equestrian fees, the mandatory annual fund,
00:54:54you're looking at over three million dollars a year.
00:54:56Three million?!
00:54:59Okay, Diane, very funny. You trying to scare the blue calls, girl? Is this a joke?
00:55:03Three million dollars. What kind of school costs three million dollars? My husband and I couldn't make that
00:55:08kind of money if we worked for eight lifetimes. Eight lifetimes, Diane!
00:55:17Hey, you're back late. I saved you some-
00:55:19Three million dollars.
00:55:22What?
00:55:23Three million dollars, Grant. A year. That's what Aiden's school costs.
00:55:28I ran into an old friend at the gates today. She knows the place. I know about the roles.
00:55:33I've seen Skyline Estates. I've been telling myself there was some explanation I wasn't ready to ask
00:55:38for, but three million a year for a school? I need you to say it out loud, right now.
00:55:43Claire, sit down. Don't tell me to sit down. Say it!
00:55:50The school belongs to me. The car is mine. The estate is mine. All of it. I knew something was
00:55:57off. I just didn't want to believe how far off it was. I hid the daily reality of it because
00:56:02I had to
00:56:02know if someone could love me and Aiden for nothing. Just us. My world is full of people
00:56:08chasing the Whitmore name. You still lied. Every single day. You watched me haul 200-pound crates in
00:56:17the freezing rain. You let me budget groceries down to the penny so I could buy you new work boots
00:56:22and
00:56:22the whole time. I thought we were building something real from the dirt up. I thought
00:56:27we were in this together. We are. Mommy, don't hit him. Daddy didn't mean to be bad. He just wanted
00:56:34a real mommy for me. The other ladies only liked his big cars and his money. He really did carry
00:56:41those
00:56:41heavy boxes with you. His hands bled for a whole week. He said it was worth it because you bought
00:56:47him
00:56:48a band-aid. You carried cargo for 12 hours a day, knowing what was waiting for you at Skyline Estates,
00:56:55knowing what that car cost. I would have carried them for the rest of my life if it meant keeping
00:57:00you.
00:57:07Are you guys done? My ribs are getting flattened. And does this mean I don't have to go on any
00:57:13more
00:57:13terrible blind dates for you? Yeah, kid. Your max-making days are officially over. Claire,
00:57:19there's one more thing. And it's not about the money. What now? You own the moon too? It's about
00:57:25Aiden. His birth mother was a Vandergruf, the eldest daughter of the main bloodline. She died the night
00:57:31he was born. Vandergruf? Wait, like the guys who own half the real estate on the coast? Yes. And for
00:57:3710 years,
00:57:37they've been hunting for their only blood heir. I built the Whitmore empire to be a wall between
00:57:42him and them. I went off the grid, played the dock worker to keep us completely off their radar.
00:57:47But they found you anyway. The text I just got. They're initiating formal custody proceedings.
00:57:52But it's not Brett Vandergruf pulling the strings. Brett is a lapdog. Then who?
00:57:56Margaret Vandergruf. The matriarch. She operates entirely in the shadows. She's holding
00:58:01Brate's family shares hostage, forcing him to do the dirty work and rip Aiden out of my house.
00:58:05I hid to give my son a normal life. But if Margaret thinks she can use her leverage to take
00:58:10what's
00:58:10mine, I will tear the Vandergruf family down to the studs. Clara. Listen to me, Whitmore.
00:58:15I didn't marry a billionaire for the cash. I don't care about your bank accounts. But this is my kid
00:58:20now too. And if some shadow dwelling rich lady thinks she can steal him, I'll drive my 18 wheeler
00:58:26straight through her front gates. Grant. You have exactly three seconds to get off my property
00:58:40before I break your legs. It wasn't my idea. I didn't want to come here. I swear to God.
00:58:47It's Margaret. It wasn't me. I didn't want to come here. It's Margaret.
00:58:52You have three seconds to give me a name before I break your jaw. One.
00:58:56Margaret. It's Margaret Vandergruf.
00:59:00She froze my accounts. She dug up the offshore discrepancies from five years ago and threatened
00:59:04to take my branch's equity to zero. I had no choice. She doesn't give a damn about family
00:59:08bloodlines or bringing the boy home. Then what does she want?
00:59:11The inheritance rights. If she gets legal custody of Aiden, she controls his proxy vote. She'll use
00:59:15his shares to trigger a total asset restructure and gut the rest of the family.
00:59:19It's a hostile takeover disguised as a custody suit.
00:59:23The dummy accounts are all in there. I'm dead if she finds out I came here.
00:59:31Let him go. Get inside.
00:59:37Shell Companies. She's been bleeding the Vandergrifts of Pivites dry for months to build a war chest.
00:59:42If she gets Aiden's proxy, she legalizes the theft.
00:59:44She's moving capital on paper. But you can't fake the physical supply chain at this volume.
00:59:49Hundreds of millions then. I drove freight for 10 years. If Margaret is shifting hundreds of
00:59:53millions in assets to dummy corps, the actual inventory has to move too. Otherwise, the IRS
00:59:57obeites the empty warehouses and she goes to federal prison. You think she left a paper trail on the
01:00:01road? I know she did. Three years ago, Vandergruf Logistics had a massive routing anomaly on the East
01:00:05Coast. Cash under the table, no questions asked. I kept copies of every digital manifest I ever hauled.
01:00:14If she was moving ghost inventory, the wait stations and port authorities won't match.
01:00:22Got it. A class A freight manifest. 50 containers routed to a shell facility in Delaware,
01:00:28goods that should have cleared customs, but the port registry is blank. Someone bypassed the port
01:00:31authority and signed for the transfer manually. Who? The signature is just one letter. It's G.
01:00:43G. As in Grant. 50 containers, bypassed customs, shipped straight to a shell company in Delaware.
01:00:50And signed for by someone with enough power to make the port authority look the other way.
01:00:53You want to tell me something, Grant? Look at the authorization code. 044.
01:00:59What does that mean? It's a Vandergruf executive override. I haven't had access to that tier of
01:01:03their network in 10 years. But you know who does? Margaret. She didn't just smuggle family assets
01:01:10to line her own pockets. She forged my initial. If the feds ever audited this warehouse, the paper
01:01:15trail points straight to me. She gets the money, I get the prison sentence. She thought she covered
01:01:20all her bases. Too bad she didn't know my network keeps offline hard copies of every class A run.
01:01:27She wants to play dirty for your kid? Let's show her what a real truck driver can do.
01:01:30I print every single page. It's time for a family reunion.
01:01:39I called a family hearing, Grant. Why did you bring the hired help?
01:01:43We don't let the staff track mud on the Persian rugs.
01:01:46Mud washes out. Not sure what you're going to do about that personality of yours, though.
01:01:51You have a lot of nerve for a woman who hauls freight for a living.
01:01:54Aiden, darling, come here. Look at this house. Look at the art on the walls.
01:02:00You are a Vandergruth. You have royal blood in your veins. You belong in high society. Not riding shotgun
01:02:07in a diesel truck with a woman who buys her clothes at a gas station. At your feet. Come to
01:02:13your real
01:02:13family. You'll have trust funds, private jets, the entire world at your feet.
01:02:24You have a lot of money and you smell like expensive perfume. Exactly, sweetheart.
01:02:29But it gives me a headache. You didn't buy me my light up sneakers.
01:02:35She drives a big truck to pick me up from school every day. She makes sure I eat my vegetables
01:02:40even when
01:02:41I don't want to. She doesn't care about my blood. She's my mom and I'm not going anywhere with you.
01:02:54How incredibly pathetic. Brett, call the legal team right now. We are filing for emergency custody.
01:02:59I'll have this truck driving trash thrown in a cell for kidnapping by morning.
01:03:03Brett! Did you hear me? Call them!
01:03:06No.
01:03:07Excuse me?
01:03:09The inheritance or your freedom. Pick one, Margaret Vandergrift.
01:03:15Aiden, I'm your family. You belong with us, not with some truck driver.
01:03:18She's my mom. You're just a lady who yells a lot.
01:03:22It's over. Sign the relinquation. I already gave them the rest of the files.
01:03:26You sold me out?
01:03:27I stopped digging my own grave.
01:03:37I'm stepping down from the subsidiary. I'm done with the games, Grant.
01:03:40Keep your shares, Brett. Just stay out of the driver's seat.
01:03:43Understood.
01:03:45Let's make this official for the record. This is Claire and my wife and Aiden's mother.
01:03:51Anyone who has a problem with that can leave their key card on the table.
01:03:54Don't mess this up. You step on my shoes, I'm putting hot sauce in your juice box.
01:03:58You're my sister now. You have to be nice to me.
01:04:02Keep dreaming, Squirt. Let's go.
01:04:07You okay?
01:04:09Better than okay. Though I still think we overpaid for the flowers.
01:04:12I'll write it off as a business expense.
01:04:16You know what Margaret Vandergrift never understood? I didn't need her money,
01:04:20her boardrooms, or her approval. I fought for my kid and I fought for this family.
01:04:25I'd do it again tomorrow without blinking.
01:04:27I know. That's why I'm standing here.
01:04:29Good answer. Now put the ring on before I change my mind.
01:04:32I'm not really tried.
01:04:32Come on?
01:04:32Come onー니.
01:04:33Vibh!
01:04:34Come on!
01:04:34Come on!
01:04:35Come on!
