00:02I was hauling my suitcase when I heard the screaming.
00:05Help! I don't know them! Let me go!
00:08I dropped everything and ran.
00:10The van was already moving.
00:12I grabbed the door handle.
00:14Drive! Drive!
00:19Let her go!
00:25Stupid bitch. You want to die?
00:27Sorry. Travis always said I was too rough.
00:34Too big. Built like a trucker.
00:39He was right about one thing. I'm no delicate flower.
00:50It's over. They're all down.
00:52At the police station, every footstep made her press closer into me.
00:57She didn't cry, didn't talk, just held on.
01:01I'm hungry.
01:02I checked my pockets. Six dollars.
01:05I grabbed some eggs, bread, and cheese, borrowed a pan, and made her a grilled cheese with a fried egg.
01:15Eat. I'm not going anywhere.
01:19Her family's on the way.
01:21Don't leave!
01:24Your daddy's coming soon, sweetheart.
01:26Will you come back?
01:29I couldn't make a promise I couldn't keep.
01:32So I pried her little fingers open, one by one, and walked out.
01:37No rent by tomorrow?
01:39No rent by tomorrow? You're out.
01:40Don't make me throw your trash on the street.
01:42I spent three years caring for Travis's paralyzed mother.
01:45Feeding her, washing her, and sleeping in a chair by her bed.
01:49Two weeks ago, the old woman finally passed.
01:51The next day, Travis came home with his first love, threw divorce papers at me, then took a bat to
01:57my food truck.
01:59And now my last six dollars were sitting in a little girl's stomach.
02:03I didn't regret it.
02:07Next morning, I was heading out to look for day labor when...
02:11A line of black SUVs rolled, rolled up and stopped dead in front of me.
02:15The door opened.
02:16A man in a suit stepped out, holding the hand of a little girl.
02:20Miss Ruby?
02:24Hey, Peanut! Remember me?
02:26You said Daddy was coming!
02:28But you didn't come back!
02:31I'm sorry, baby. I had some things to take care of.
02:35Can you come with me now, please?
02:37I had no job, no truck, no money.
02:41Then a sound behind her. Wheels on pavement.
02:44Daddy.
02:47This is Lila's father, Mr. Dante Moretti.
02:51Dante Moretti? His family runs half this city.
02:54A year ago, a car bomb paralyzed his legs.
02:57You saved my daughter.
02:58I just happened to be there.
03:02That's your thank you. Take it.
03:06I didn't chase that van for money.
03:09I would have done it no matter whose kid it was.
03:14Daddy, I'm hungry.
03:19The butler popped open a warmer, fancy pastries, fruit I didn't recognize, the kind of breakfast that costs more than
03:26my rent.
03:28Just a bite, sweetheart.
03:29Just a bite, sweetheart. Please.
03:31She hasn't eaten since last night. We've tried three different chefs.
03:35I want the sandwich.
03:37I want the sandwich.
03:38The one she made me.
03:43I had the butler grab eggs, bread, and cheese.
03:48Ten minutes later, a hot sandwich sat on the table.
03:52Lila didn't move.
03:53She just looked up at me.
03:56Eat. I'm not going anywhere.
03:59She picked it up and ate the whole thing, slowly.
04:03Lila was three when she had her first scare.
04:04She's been terrified of strangers ever since.
04:08Yesterday made it worse.
04:09Right now, you're the only person she'll go near.
04:15Move into the house. Take care of her. Name your price.
04:20So, a live-in nanny?
04:22Whatever you want to call it.
04:24Five thousand a month?
04:26Fifty.
04:29Deal!
04:31The Moretti estate was insane.
04:34The butler walked me around for half the day
04:37before we finally reached Lila's room on the second floor.
04:40He opened the door next to hers.
04:43This is yours, Miss Beck.
04:44I stood in the doorway and couldn't move.
04:47Soft carpet. Big window.
04:49Clean sheets that smelled like nothing.
04:50Not grease. Not bleach. Not the hospital.
04:53The nicest room I'd ever set foot in.
04:56That night, I made Lila grilled cheese and mushroom soup.
04:59Sat on the floor, stacking blocks with her, until she fell asleep.
05:03Then went back to my room.
05:052 AM.
05:06A scream ripped through the hallway.
05:11Get away! Don't touch me!
05:13Bad people! You're all bad people!
05:15The maids tried to get close.
05:17She swung at them with both arms.
05:19Dante's wheelchair appeared in the doorway.
05:21She screamed harder.
05:25I've got you. It's me.
05:28Ms. Ruby! They're coming to get me again!
05:39Don't be scared. I already beat them all up, remember?
05:42One punch each! Smashed! And I spit the propane tank!
05:47What if they come back?
05:49Nobody touches you while I'm here.
05:51She went quiet.
05:54I hummed the only delibi I knew.
05:56The one the orphanage director used to sing when I was little.
06:01A long time later, she finally fell asleep.
06:05I stepped into the hallway.
06:07Dante was still there.
06:09When they took her, I couldn't protect her.
06:12She blames me for that.
06:13Give her time. She'll come around.
06:16Three armed men. And you took them all by yourself?
06:19I grew up in an orphanage.
06:21Always the biggest kid there.
06:23The others loved to remind me.
06:25Until they found out big means hard to beat.
06:29You went to school?
06:31I finished high school.
06:33College was never an option.
06:35No degree. No office skills.
06:38All I've got is 200 pounds.
06:40And a good frying pan.
06:42I always envied people who got to keep studying.
06:47The next morning, the living room was covered in streamers.
06:51Leela stood in the middle in a little white veil cut from a curtain,
06:54holding a fistful of flowers from the garden.
06:57Miss Ruby? Will you marry Daddy?
07:01Marry who?
07:02If you marry Daddy, you'll be my mommy.
07:05Then you won't disappear like the others, right?
07:13She's been through too much.
07:15Nannies don't last.
07:16They see one nightmare and quit.
07:18She thinks you'll leave too.
07:23Somehow she got it into her head.
07:25That if you marry me, you'll have to stay forever.
07:29I couldn't say no to her.
07:31So I told her yes.
07:33I'd marry you.
07:39A real marriage is out of the question.
07:42Marriage isn't a game.
07:44But to stop Leela's nightmares, I can put on a show.
07:48Half an hour later, we had a wedding in the garden.
07:52Daddy, you have to protect mommy from now on.
07:56Mommy won't leave, right?
07:58I'm not leaving.
08:00Really?
08:02Really.
08:03I knew it was fake.
08:05My throat still burned.
08:08That night, I'd just finished my shower.
08:12When a crash came from the hallway.
08:15Don't move!
08:17Call the butler.
08:19You're already burnt, no time.
08:24Ruby, put me down.
08:26Relax, I've got you.
08:27I carried him to the bathroom, cleaned him up, and carried him back to bed.
08:34Why are you so good at this?
08:35I took care of my ex's mother for three years.
08:38She was paralyzed.
08:40I did the nights.
08:42Why did you divorce?
08:44We grew up in the same orphanage.
08:46After he turned 18, his birth mother found him.
08:49She'd married rich, husband died, left her the money and a broken body.
08:54Then out of nowhere, he asked me to marry him.
08:58And you said yes?
08:59I thought I knew him.
09:01Didn't think twice.
09:03After the wedding, I figured it out.
09:10He just wanted a free nurse.
09:14And when his mother died?
09:17You smell like grease.
09:19And you're too fat to stand next to me in public.
09:26Then he brought home his girlfriend and handed me the papers.
09:31My hands moved on their own.
09:33Old habit.
09:35I used to do this for the old woman.
09:37Every night.
09:38Two presses in, his whole body went stiff.
09:41Movie!
09:42What?
09:44My legs?
09:46I can feel them.
09:50The next morning, we went to the hospital.
09:54Mr. Moretti's legs are recovering much better than expected.
09:57Wait!
09:58He's not actually crippled?
10:00Oh my god, what am I saying?
10:05The explosion damaged the nerves in his lower back.
10:08But the surgery took care of that.
10:10His muscles and bones are fine.
10:12What's keeping him in that chair is psychological.
10:14His brain went through something terrible,
10:16and it still believes his legs can't move.
10:19Then why did he suddenly feel something last night?
10:22Strong physical contact and emotional response
10:24can temporarily break through that kind of block.
10:27What exactly happened last night?
10:36Keep up the rehab.
10:38There's a real chance he walks again.
10:40On the drive back, I couldn't hold it in.
10:44What actually happened a year ago?
10:46With the bomb?
10:49Leela's mother called.
10:50Said something happened to Leela at school.
10:52I went alone.
10:53No guards.
10:54Two minutes on the highway, the car blew.
10:57So it wasn't an accident.
10:59And Leela's mother?
11:01Signed the papers before I was out of the hospital.
11:03Took her money and left the country.
11:05Left Leela behind.
11:06Didn't look back.
11:07I thought of that little face.
11:09The way she grabbed my sleeve and wouldn't let go.
11:12What kind of mother walks away from that?
11:20Back at the estate, Leela was nowhere.
11:23The butler met us at the door, worried.
11:26She woke up this morning and couldn't find either of you.
11:28She won't eat.
11:29Won't talk.
11:30Just lying in bed.
11:38Leela?
11:40Mommy!
11:43I woke up and you were gone.
11:45I thought you left too.
11:47Like her.
11:50I know this feeling.
11:51The empty hallway at the orphanage when the director got sick.
11:54Sitting alone, terrified she'd never come back.
11:58Mommy went to the hospital with daddy.
12:00From now on, wherever I go, I'll tell you first.
12:04I won't disappear.
12:05I won't leave you.
12:10Really?
12:11Really.
12:15School starts soon.
12:17Will mommy come to the ceremony with me?
12:20Of course I will.
12:21Back in my room, I stared at the clothes on my bed and wanted to cry.
12:26Tomorrow was the school ceremony.
12:28Best private school in the city.
12:31I held up my biggest t-shirt.
12:33Grease stain on the collar.
12:35Faded logo.
12:36A hole under the left arm.
12:38This is the nicest thing I owned.
12:40This is going to be a disaster.
12:45What are you doing?
12:47Trying to figure out how to not embarrass your daughter tomorrow.
12:50It's not going well.
12:54I'll handle it.
12:57An hour later, I regretted everything.
13:01A whole team showed up.
13:03Designers, makeup, hair, nails.
13:07They measured me, then exchanged a look.
13:10I knew that look.
13:11I'd seen it my whole life.
13:14Just say the number.
13:15I won't cry.
13:17They spent the whole afternoon on me.
13:23By dinner, I was in a soft blue dress.
13:25Hair pinned loose.
13:27Feet already killing me.
13:29This is more tiring than running a food truck.
13:32Let me go make Leela dinner.
13:40Mommy, you're so pretty.
13:44Thank you, baby.
13:45You're prettier.
13:47You okay?
13:48Catching a cold?
13:49No.
13:50Wrong pipe.
13:53The next day, we arrived at the school.
13:58Leela?
13:59You're hurting my hand.
14:01Sorry, Mom.
14:03It's okay.
14:04Stay close to me.
14:08The hall was packed with parents, who looked like they'd walked off magazine covers.
14:16I felt every single pair of eyes land on me and do the math.
14:20Shhh.
14:22Some people really don't know how to dress for these events.
14:28And some people never learned when to keep their opinions to themselves.
14:42Well, well.
14:43The Morettos found a new nanny.
14:46A big one this time.
14:53Lina stiffened and hid behind me.
14:55That's enough.
14:57Am I wrong?
14:59The Morettis go through nannies like tissues.
15:02He says it's for the girl.
15:04Who knows what really goes on behind those doors?
15:08Then again, looking at this one.
15:10Maybe he's not so picky after all.
15:15Who the hell are you?
15:16Did you eat shit for breakfast?
15:18That mouth is foul.
15:22You're the help.
15:23Who do you think you're talking to?
15:25Megan.
15:26Do you have any idea who these people are?
15:29You're scared of him.
15:31I'm not.
15:32Everyone knows Dante Moretti got sidelined after that bomb.
15:36His uncle runs the family now.
15:38My brother just signed a hundred million dollar deal with the uncle.
15:41Why would I be scared of a cripple in a wheelchair?
15:51Why would I be scared of a cripple in a wheelchair?
15:54Are you insane?
15:56Whatever happened to him, he's still head of the Moretti family.
16:01Head of what?
16:03Couldn't even keep his own wife.
16:05He's riding on shares and a last name.
16:08Nothing else.
16:10Mrs. Whitmerth, please, this is a school.
16:12The children are present. Let's keep things civil.
16:14My brother donated an entire science wing to this school.
16:17I say what I want.
16:19Who's gonna stop me?
16:22While you're here, don't put that girl in my son's class.
16:28A whole year without a word.
16:30Those gloomy little eyes.
16:33Who knows what's going on in her head?
16:39Leela's face was getting whiter.
16:41She pressed into my back, shaking.
16:59I handed her to Dante.
17:02Then I stepped forward and locked my hand around Megan's jaw.
17:05The laugh died in her throat.
17:07Apologize to my daughter.
17:10Your daughter?
17:12Everyone knows her real mother dumped her years ago.
17:15You're just the help.
17:16A fat nanny playing house.
17:19I said apologize.
17:20In your dreams!
17:22Guards!
17:28Hit her!
17:29Break her legs for all I care!
17:30I'll pay for it!
17:39I'm about to make a mess.
17:41You gonna stop me?
17:48Don't hold back, Ruby.
17:54The first one came at me swinging.
17:56I'm 200 pounds.
17:57Low.
17:58Center of gravity.
17:59Hard to move.
18:00Harder to knock down.
18:03Too slow.
18:04I stepped inside his reach, grabbed his arm, and threw him over my hip.
18:09The second one tried to rush me from behind.
18:13I drove my elbow back into his gut.
18:16He folded.
18:17The third one hesitated.
18:20Smart man.
18:21Not smart enough.
18:24Less than three minutes.
18:25All of them down.
18:30Apologize.
18:32Touch me and I'll have you in court.
18:33I'll put you behind bars!
18:38Cancel every deal between the Morettis and Whitmore Construction.
18:40And audit every dollar they've donated to this school.
18:43Mr. Moretto.
18:45It was all her mouth.
18:46Please!
18:46One more chance!
18:50Nice performance.
18:51Who in the family even listens to you anymore?
18:54My brother's contract was signed by your uncle!
18:57You think you can just cancel it?
18:58You think you can just cancel it?
19:02Brother, perfect timing.
19:04Let me tell you.
19:05Megan!
19:05Who the hell did you piss off?
19:08The Morettis just sent formal notice!
19:11The contract is dead and they're launching a fraud investigation on our materials!
19:24Impossible.
19:25Uncle Morelli signed it himself.
19:27He just called me personally!
19:29Said you crossed someone he won't protect you from!
19:34Whitmore Construction.
19:35Just got blacklisted by the family.
19:38You were pushed out!
19:40You were supposed to be done!
19:42My uncle signs what I tell him to sign.
19:44Where did you get the idea that I was out?
19:46We'll apologize right now!
19:48Please, have mercy!
19:50All this fuss over a little-
19:54One more word I don't like and you'll never close this mouth again.
20:00Sorry.
20:02Louder!
20:03Lila Morelli!
20:04I'm sorry!
20:05I shouldn't have let my son bully you!
20:08Mommy!
20:09You're safe.
20:10Mommy and Daddy are right here.
20:12From today, no Whitmore sets foot on this campus.
20:15Not as a parent, donor, or anything else.
20:17The boy is out too.
20:19Or I withdraw every dollar we gave this school.
20:21Done.
20:22Immediately.
20:22Mr. Morelli, the boy is innocent!
20:25The kid learns from the parents.
20:27Blame yourselves.
20:31Megan's husband grabbed her by the arm and dragged her outside.
20:38This isn't over.
20:43We're just letting them walk?
20:44What if she comes after Lila?
20:49Their accounts are frozen.
20:51Her brother and husband are both under investigation.
20:54They won't risk it.
20:56But I'm putting more men on the school.
20:58And on Lila.
21:01However, Megan lost control.
21:06Word spread quickly about what had just happened.
21:14Ruby?
21:18Just saw the video.
21:19Almost didn't recognize you.
21:21A few days out and you're already dressed up.
21:23Playing nanny for rich people?
21:29Come on!
21:30I only smashed the truck to teach you a lesson.
21:34You think it's easy?
21:35Being married to a woman your size?
21:38Just say sorry.
21:39I'll take you back.
21:41I didn't do anything wrong.
21:44Why would I apologize?
21:46You let my mother die on your watch.
21:49That's not your fault!
21:51I'm being nice here, Ruby.
21:53I'll even set you up with a real shop.
21:55No more food trucks.
21:57All you have to do is drop the attitude, drop the weight, and come home.
22:03Where's your precious girlfriend?
22:05That's nothing. She's sick.
22:08I'm just helping out.
22:10The wife spot is still yours.
22:12We're done, Travis.
22:13You mean nothing to me now.
22:16You ungrateful!
22:19Take your filthy hand off my wife.
22:26Ruby, this is your new husband?
22:31You hired a guy in a wheelchair?
22:33To play your man?
22:37How much did that cost?
22:39You didn't even have rent money last week.
22:41What the hell are you talking about?
22:43A few days after the divorce and you're already dragging around a kid and a man in a wheelchair pretending
22:49to be a family?
22:52What, no real man would take a woman your size?
22:55This is pathetic, Ruby.
22:57Without me, all you could get is a cripple?
23:00You're the cripple! Your brain is the crippled one!
23:04You little-
23:07Ruby can carry a propane tank.
23:09She can carry me.
23:10Who the hell says she's useless?
23:12Is that supposed to be a compliment?
23:15Watch your mouth.
23:17You're speaking to Dante Moretti, head of the Moretti family.
23:23Moretti?
23:29Dirty.
23:29Mr. Morelli, my mistake. Didn't recognize you.
23:33But this woman, she's my wife.
23:35We had a fight, she ran off.
23:37I'm just here to take her home.
23:38Liar! She's my mommy!
23:40She's daddy's wife, not yours!
23:42What did you just call her?!
23:44When did you have a kid this big?!
23:46Did you cheat on me?!
23:49Travis, is your brain actually broken?
23:52No. Impossible!
23:54You were crazy about me!
23:56You never cheat!
23:57You-
23:58You're really someone's stepmother now?
24:01Ruby is my wife,
24:02and Leela's mother.
24:04Impossible!
24:05We just got divorced!
24:07Who would marry you?!
24:08I spent three years looking at that body,
24:10and I barely survived.
24:12You're making this up!
24:13This whole circus is just to piss me off!
24:16Travis, who do you think you are?
24:18Worth faking a whole marriage over?
24:21My husband is smarter, stronger, and more powerful than you will ever be.
24:25You're not fit to shine his shoes.
24:28Stop flattering yourself.
24:30Fine! Fine!
24:31A fat piece of trash like you, the second he gets bored, he'll toss you out!
24:35Don't come crawling back to me crying!
24:44Mommy, you won't go back to that scary man, right?
24:48This man who used to torment me looks so pathetic now.
24:51And my baby, only I can protect her.
25:01No, baby. Mommy's not going anywhere.
25:05Mr. Moretti, thank you for today.
25:07But we're only pretending, for Leela.
25:11You don't have to say those things, just to cover for me.
25:15A minute ago I was your husband.
25:16Now I'm Mr. Moretti again.
25:18Oh my God, why is his gaze so intense?
25:21Why is my heart beating so fast?
25:23I didn't say those things, to cover for you.
25:27This marriage was never a game to me.
25:29And I'm tired of pretending it is.
25:32Was he confessing to me just now?
25:35No, Ruby, don't overthink it!
25:37You're just a nanny!
25:41That laugh, low and soft, is something I've never heard from him before.
25:47The next morning, the sun was shining bright.
25:51Good morning, Leela!
25:52Today, every child gets to introduce their family.
25:59You don't have to talk, if you don't want to.
26:03Mommy will be right outside the window, the whole time.
26:08No matter what happens, I'll always be right here by your side, my little angel.
26:24Why isn't she saying anything?
26:26Maybe she's mute.
26:32My name is Leela Moretti.
26:34I have a daddy, and a mommy.
26:36My mommy cooks for me, and she beats up bad guys!
26:44When she hugs me, nothing scary can get in.
26:48She told me, even if I don't talk much, I'm still her best girl!
26:54I love my mommy and daddy!
26:56My baby!
26:58You really did it!
27:00You finally conquered your fear.
27:04Bye, teacher!
27:06Daddy, look! That's us!
27:10I'm keeping this forever.
27:16His eyes.
27:17Why do they make me feel so safe, yet so in danger?
27:23Like a giant net, completely enveloping me.
27:33One more step, you've got this.
27:41You're... kind of heavy.
27:43Didn't you say I was light?
27:48Sorry.
27:49It's fine.
27:51Not like I haven't carried you before.
27:54That comfortable with my body already?
27:56Careful, Mrs. Morelle. People will talk.
27:58Train by yourself!
28:01Sir, Serena's back in the country.
28:06Serena?
28:07Who's that?
28:10Dante.
28:11It's been a while.
28:13Where is our daughter?
28:15Who are you?
28:18Ruby.
28:20My wife.
28:21This is what you replaced me with?
28:23I leave for a year, and your standards drop this far?
28:27No marriage certificate?
28:28No figure?
28:29And you call yourself Mrs. Morenti?
28:33Mr. Moretti, before returning to the country, Ms. Cross filed for custody of Leela.
28:39Court records show no legal marriage between you and Ms. Beck.
28:45Leela, you see your mother and you can't even say hello?
28:51This olden still can't act right.
28:53Don't scare her!
28:55I'm disciplining my daughter.
28:57Since when does a fat nanny get a say?
29:00Mr. Moretti is physically limited.
29:02The woman living in the household has no legal status.
29:06Mrs. Cross has grounds for full custody.
29:08You signed away custody yourself in the divorce.
29:14I was ill.
29:15I had to go abroad to recover.
29:18I'm better now.
29:20It's time I took my daughter home.
29:23Something is wrong.
29:24This is definitely not that simple.
29:26Appearing right now of all times, this treacherous woman doesn't just want her daughter.
29:31She must have another sinister plot.
29:35Next month, the trust under Lila's name is up for guardian review.
29:41It clicked. She didn't come back for Lila. She came back for the money.
29:46Lila, come home with mommy.
29:48Don't you miss me?
29:50You can see me every day.
29:52No! Don't take me somewhere strange!
29:57She's not going anywhere! Stop pushing her!
30:00You hit me?
30:02You really think playing mommy for a few weeks makes you her mother?
30:08I am Lila's birth mother.
30:10You're just the temp.
30:11A fat girl with no ring and no name?
30:14You're not even his legal wife.
30:16What right do you have to fight me for my daughter?
30:20I might not have a ring, but I protect her.
30:23Something you traded for a trust fund.
30:25Guards, throw her out.
30:28Get your hands off me! You can't do this!
30:30I have lawyers! I'll see you in court, Dante!
30:33And you, you fat pig, enjoy playing house while it lasts!
30:43After Serena left, Lila refused to let go of me.
30:46Mommy! Mommy, don't let her take me!
30:49Mommy's not leaving. Nobody's taking you. I'm right here.
30:56The lawyers say her case is weak.
30:59She abandoned custody for years.
31:01But she'll use the gap in our status.
31:04That could matter in court.
31:07Let's get the license. For real.
31:09What?
31:10I know it's sudden. I know I'm not.
31:14I know a woman like me isn't...
31:18What people picture next to a man like you.
31:24But Lila is a good kid and I won't let anyone hurt her.
31:27You're a good father and I won't let them take her from you.
31:35If it's just for the case, I have other ways.
31:39I won't use Lila to trap you in another marriage.
31:43Of course. Why would a mafia boss want a real marriage with a 200 pound cook?
31:47It was a stupid idea.
31:51But I do want to marry you.
31:54Mr. Moretti, what are you...
31:55I know it's been short.
31:57But I know you spent your last $6 on my daughter when you had nothing.
32:02I know you never once looked at this chair and saw less of a man.
32:07I know every man you've been with made you feel like you took up too much space.
32:11And I know you pretend this is just a job, but you already love everyone in this house.
32:16Ruby, I don't want to marry you for Lila.
32:18I want to marry you because before you walked in, this place had guards and guns and money.
32:23But it wasn't a home.
32:25You made it one.
32:31I've been married before.
32:32I don't trust it anymore.
32:34I know. I can wait.
32:36We don't have to get the license.
32:37I'll handle Lila's case another way.
32:39Whenever you decide I'm worth it, you tell me.
32:42In my last marriage, everything I did was expected.
32:45Nobody noticed. Nobody cared.
32:47This is the first time anyone told me they'd been watching.
32:50That it all counted.
32:53The next day.
32:55I'd expected it to be too small.
32:57Every ring I'd ever tried on was too small.
32:59The world wasn't built for hands like mine.
33:02It fits perfectly.
33:04Not tight.
33:05Like someone had measured me while I wasn't looking.
33:09I gazed at the ring on my finger for a long while.
33:12Before finally making up my mind.
33:17You sure?
33:20Not really.
33:21But I want to try.
33:23Not just for Lila.
33:24I think I don't want to let you go either.
33:28Sir, please sign here.
33:29We went straight to the marriage registry office.
33:38Mommy and Daddy have the real paper now, right?
33:41Mommy's really never leaving, right?
33:44That's right.
33:45Never.
33:50Boss, the three who grabbed Lila talked.
33:53Someone paid them.
33:54The money moved through layers of offshore accounts.
33:56Shell company after shell company.
33:58At the end of the trail, a name.
34:00A company that once belonged to Serena's family.
34:03Serena was behind the kidnapping?
34:05The account isn't in her name directly.
34:07Not enough to prove she ordered it.
34:09Not yet.
34:12But before we could uncover the truth, Serena beat us to it.
34:16My mother was sick for years.
34:19Ruby took care of her.
34:20But right after my mother died, she forced the divorce.
34:24And instantly ran straight to Mr. Moretti.
34:27I don't want to make accusations, but my mother's death has a lot of unanswered questions.
34:32He's lying.
34:33Travis never once visited his dying mother.
34:35How can he do this?
34:36Don't watch. It's all garbage.
34:39They're lying, Dante. All of it.
34:41Travis didn't even pay for her medicine.
34:44I don't care if they come after me.
34:45I'm used to Travis treating me like dirt.
34:48But I can't drag you and Lila into this mess.
34:50The media is attacking the Moretti name because of me.
34:53Look at me, Ruby.
34:54You are my wife.
34:56The wife of Dante Moretti.
34:58I know you are strong.
35:00I know you don't need protecting most of the time.
35:02But today, let me.
35:05Let your husband handle this.
35:07Will they, will they take mommy away?
35:09No, baby. No. Mommy isn't going anywhere.
35:12I promised you, remember?
35:14Daddy won't let anyone touch mommy.
35:16Whoever tries, will pay.
35:20That night, Dante made one phone call.
35:23Release the Hound.
35:24All the files we dug up.
35:26The hospital records, the visitor logs, the bank statements.
35:30Let the world see how the victim really treated his dying mother.
35:34Understood, boss. What about media outlets?
35:36Every outlet that ran the story about my wife today.
35:39I want them visited.
35:40Tonight.
35:46The next day.
35:48They know the truth.
35:49Everyone knows now.
35:51Thank you, Dante. You saved me.
35:53Mrs. Morelli, in this family, we don't say thank you.
35:56We protect our own.
35:57Daddy, Mommy, we don't split up.
36:00Listen to our daughter.
36:01Listen to Leela.
36:02Mr. Moretti!
36:04She's a 200 pound street food cook with no background.
36:07She doesn't exactly match a man of your status.
36:10Is this marriage even real?
36:12Or is it a PR stunt?
36:17My wife weighs 200 pounds.
36:19And every single ounce of it is worth more than every man in this room put together.
36:23She is kind, she is fierce, and she is the most honest person I've ever met.
36:28My only regret in this life is that I didn't marry her sooner.
36:34Now, get off my property.
36:39My life is ruined!
36:41Everyone is calling me a monster!
36:43Dante exposed everything!
36:45My bank accounts are frozen!
36:47I can't even buy a cup of coffee!
36:49Relax, you pathetic loser.
36:51Relax! Your stupid PR plan failed!
36:54That fat pig is living in a mansion, and I'm practically a criminal!
36:58Once Dante goes down, your fat little ex-wife's fairy tale is over.
37:02She'll come running back to you.
37:04Where else is she gonna go?
37:06She's nothing without him.
37:07How?
37:08Dante is untouchable.
37:10He just crushed the entire media in one night!
37:12Dante's weakness isn't his money.
37:14It's the brat.
37:15And I know exactly when to strike.
37:19Please!
37:20Let me in! I need to see Mr. Moretti!
37:22I have information! Please!
37:25My brother's company is finished.
37:27Account's frozen.
37:28My family name is in the dirt.
37:30You destroyed us, Mr. Moretti!
37:32You messed with my daughter and my wife.
37:35You're lucky you still have your tongue.
37:36It wasn't my idea! I swear to God!
37:40I thought she could save my family!
37:42She is your ex-wife, Serena.
37:44She had connections.
37:45She had the Moretti name.
37:46She told me to push the girl.
37:47Make Leela look unstable!
37:48She said if I helped her get custody, she would fund my brother's business.
37:53She used me! All of it was her!
37:57Keep pushing the girl. Use the other kids to isolate her.
38:01The more unstable she looks, the more she cries and screams, the easier it is to tell the court Dante
38:07can't handle her.
38:08I need her broken, Megan. That's how I get the trust fund.
38:13Serena, I am going to tear her apart piece by piece.
38:21Boss, we traced the calls to Serena's former assistant.
38:25Once we broke into the assistant's offshore accounts, everything unraveled.
38:30Show me.
38:32Three years ago, Serena's family was bleeding money.
38:34She was in massive debt, but she couldn't let you find out.
38:37So, she staged a payout.
38:39A payout? How?
38:41She had her assistant hire men to take Leela.
38:43They took her to an empty rental outside the city.
38:46The plan was simple.
38:47Leela disappears.
38:48You panic.
38:49Pay the massive ransom.
38:50And the money gets funneled back to Serena's accounts.
38:54Then they meritoriously find her.
38:56Oh my god.
38:57But the contact man got scared of the Moretti name and ran.
39:01Leela was left completely alone in that abandoned house.
39:06She was just a baby.
39:08She was terrified.
39:10That's why she wouldn't speak.
39:14I always thought it was a rival family.
39:16I hunted down three different syndicates trying to avenge her.
39:20Never.
39:21Never her own mother.
39:22I let that monster sleep in my bed.
39:25We will make her pay, Dante.
39:26For every tear Leela set.
39:31Boss.
39:32There's more.
39:33The three men Serena hired to grab Leela off the street that day.
39:37They were paid from the exact same shell company.
39:39Her plan is to take Leela out of the country.
39:42She wants to claim custody as the birth mother and seize absolute control of the Moretti Trust Fund.
39:48Wait.
39:49Boss.
39:49The shell company.
39:50I ran a full history check.
39:52The day before your car bombing a year ago, the mechanic who last serviced your brakes received a $500,000
39:57deposit from the exact same account.
39:59The bomb.
40:00The bomb.
40:01The bomb that paralyzed you.
40:02It was Serena too?
40:05She wanted me dead.
40:07She wanted Leela.
40:08She wanted the Trust Fund.
40:10All of it.
40:11Send every unit we have.
40:13I want Serena dragged here by her hair.
40:15But the bad news came first.
40:25Mr. Moretti.
40:26Please, you have to listen to me.
40:28A woman came with an emergency court order and one man claiming to be officers.
40:32They took Leela!
40:33Trace her watch.
40:34Now!
40:35Mommy!
40:35Help me!
40:36Where is the location, Ping?
40:38It stopped at an abandoned nightclub in the industrial district.
40:41I'm going.
40:43Ruby.
40:44Stop.
40:45We don't know how many armed men are in there.
40:47Serena's a psychopath.
40:48You stay here where it's safe.
40:49I will bring our daughter back.
40:51I swear it.
40:51Dante.
40:52That is my daughter too.
40:54I'm not sitting in a mansion while she is crying in the dark.
41:02Then we go together.
41:04Let's show them what happens when they mess with us.
41:12Ruby.
41:13Ruby.
41:14Knew you'd show.
41:16Let her go.
41:17She's my daughter.
41:18What's the problem?
41:19I will go with you!
41:20Mommy, help!
41:24Stay down, Travis.
41:36Mommy!
41:38I'm fine.
41:44Mommy!
41:46Bravo, Ruby.
41:48Ruby.
41:48But why are you fighting so hard for her?
41:50She's not even Dante's.
41:52What?
41:55Years ago, I got Dante drunk and told him we'd slept together.
42:02Then I picked up a baby from a welfare home and faked the birth papers.
42:06He believed every word and married me.
42:08I needed a child to hold on to the Moretti money.
42:11Who the kid actually was never mattered.
42:13I'm not daddy's daughter?
42:16Of course not.
42:17My genes and Dante's would never produce something this pathetic.
42:26Mommy!
42:28Behind you!
42:37Your legs!
42:39Disappointed?
42:41Ruby.
42:42You're not protecting this family alone anymore.
42:45Dante!
42:52That's for Lila!
42:53That's for every nightmare!
42:55That's for calling her pathetic!
42:58And that's for thinking you could take my daughter from me.
43:02I'm 200 pounds and I'm her mother.
43:05You never stood a chance.
43:08You wanted to know my right?
43:11This is my right.
43:15Daddy.
43:17I'm not your daughter.
43:21It wasn't long before the test results came back.
43:27Where are you going, baby?
43:29I'm not daddy's real kid.
43:32I can't stay here anymore.
43:39Who told you you're not my kid?
43:41She said nobody wanted me.
43:44That I was just picked up from somewhere.
43:47The first time you got sick, I held you in the hospital all night.
43:52Didn't sleep once.
43:54The first time you called me daddy, I smiled so hard I couldn't sleep either.
43:59Your first day of school, I was the one who walked you in.
44:04Blood only tells you where you came from.
44:06It doesn't get to decide whose daughter you are.
44:09Do you still want me?
44:11Daddy will always want you.
44:12Always.
44:22That night, Lila finally slept in her own bed.
44:25No screaming.
44:26No nightmares.
44:26Just sleep.
44:28Ruby.
44:29Mr. Moretti, we don't say thank you.
44:33You learn fast.
44:35A few months later, the adoption papers were officially signed.
44:38When are you having the real wedding?
44:41We're already married, silly.
44:43I knew that first one was fake.
44:46You tricked me!
44:47Daddy owes mommy a real one.
44:54Ruby, will you marry me one more time?
44:57This time, not for Lila.
44:59Not for the case.
45:01Not for anyone else.
45:03Just for me.
45:04Marry him!
45:06Yes!
45:07Yes!
45:13The day before the wedding, Dante gave me two gifts.
45:18Dante...
45:19This truck, it's huge.
45:21Brand new.
45:22Bigger and cleaner than the one Travis smashed.
45:29You remembered?
45:31You remembered what I said.
45:33You said the thing you envied most was people who got to keep studying.
45:37What you missed, you can take back.
45:39Truck, shop, school, whatever you want.
45:42I will give you everything.
45:44The wedding was small.
45:46The people who mattered.
45:52Mommy! Daddy!
45:58Mommy!
46:05This time, let me walk to you.
46:08Mommy!
46:08Mommy!
46:10Mommy!
46:10Mommy!
46:13A year later, my restaurant opened.
46:16I named it $6 because every story begins with $6.
46:19And at night, I'd head to school for class, then come home and finish up my homework.
46:33DANTE!
46:34DANTE!
46:34Put me down!
46:35Your legs!
46:36Can't let my wife do all the heavy lifting.
46:38Forever.
46:40DANTE.
46:42Hmm.
46:43Am I getting lighter?
46:45Or are you getting stronger?
46:48Maybe a little lighter.
46:49All that running between the kitchen and the classroom.
46:52Really? I didn't even notice!
46:54Do you think I'll keep losing?
46:55Maybe I'll end up looking like a supermodel.
46:57Long legs, cheekbones, walking around and...
47:01You don't need to be a supermodel.
47:03I love you exactly like this.
47:05Like what? 200 pounds and smelling like garlic?
47:08198 actually.
47:10And yes.
47:14Lila was doing well.
47:18I want to thank my mommy and daddy.
47:22Daddy told me it's okay to walk slow as long as you keep going.
47:27Mommy told me if you really can't walk, just carry daddy home.
47:35That last part was you.
47:37I told her she could lean on family.
47:38Same idea.
47:49Mommy, will you still carry daddy?
47:52Probably not needed anymore.
47:55Doesn't mean we can't.
47:57Mommy can carry a propane tank.
47:59And she can carry daddy.
48:01Strongest mommy in the world!
48:06Daddy, mommy, let's go home!
48:08Daddy, move the dog.
48:10Baby, let's go home!
48:12You can take a step up!
48:13I'm hungry!
