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

01:05:59no thanks
01:06:00no
01:06:01chloe wait
01:06:02let's see how pathetic he really is
01:06:13oh my god

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