Transcript

00:00Your daughter has maybe a year. Without payment, we can't keep her on the transplant list.

00:07You'll find yourself a rich old man with one foot in the grave.

00:11Your daughter's insurance won't suit me. What the hell is going on here?

00:16Oh, Mr. Cardon. Mr. Cardon? Mark Cardon, RCU.

00:19Polina! Polina! I couldn't let you have that card tape

00:25I had a serious accident in college too. The accidents are everything. My memories, even my face.

00:33Aren't you my dad? You're Mark, aren't you? The one that mom lost.

00:39Emily and I, we knew each other.

00:42Why don't we stand on the pre-transplant?

00:44This is on me. Marry me.

00:49Mark's got a fiancée.

00:50What fiancée?

00:51What the hell is your problem, Eve? You know what our relationship really is?

00:55I need you to be a good girl for me.

00:58Mark, where are you? I need you! Help! Help!

01:01Don't worry, I'll get you. I'll always look after you. No matter what.

01:05So, does this mean we're all going to live together now? Mom and Dad?

01:10I feel like I've known you for years.

01:12Then don't let me go.

01:22May I have a word?

01:26Yeah, good.

01:33Without a bone marrow transplant, your daughter has maybe a year. If we're lucky.

01:39No, you can't give up on her. She's all I have.

01:42I'm sorry, Emily. Without payment, we can't keep her on the transplant list.

01:45No, this can't be happening. Please.

01:48Maybe try your employer's insurance again. See if there's a way.

02:01Hey, sweetie, how you doing?

02:03It's always the same. Pain and misery.

02:09I was born unlucky. No father. An endless thicket.

02:14So, please.

02:17I'm nothing but a mistake. And a curse.

02:20Selena, stop. No.

02:22Selena!

02:24Selena!

02:26Selena!

02:30Selena!

02:32You okay?

02:33Watch where you're going!

02:35Mom, you're bleeding. I couldn't watch another car take someone I love. Not right now.

02:40What do you mean?

02:43Laura, what do you mean?

02:57Mark, babe. Hurry, I have the most exciting news.

03:00Oh, perfect timing. I'm right around the corner. Yeah, you're gonna love when I got you.

03:06Mark.

03:09Mark!

03:14Wait, it's my boyfriend. I was just on the phone with him.

03:16Wait, sure? Good looking guy?

03:17Yeah.

03:18They just rushed him to the hospital. It didn't look good.

03:31What happened to him?

03:34He vanished. No body. No good guy. Just gone.

03:41Get the baby, Plasmid. You're number four. No delays.

03:44I'll take care of it.

03:51No delays.

03:52I'll take care of it.

03:56Are you blind? You almost just ran straight into the CEO.

04:00Wait, let's need some TLC.

04:03Chop, chop.

04:11Can you believe that bitch Emily almost ran into the CEO?

04:15Oh, it gets better. I just got her request for company insurance. Huge medical bill.

04:22I think it's time we remind her how things work around here.

04:29It is there.

04:34Well, well.

04:40Speak of the devil.

04:46What the hell is wrong with you?

04:49Shut your mouth, you sneaky bitch.

04:51You're spying on our private conversations and you think that you can just sneak on to our company insurance behaving like this?

04:58My daughter, she's sick.

05:00Oh, how tragic.

05:02Give us a moment, William.

05:05You see, Emily, while I take a risk helping out your daughter, I need something in return.

05:14And since you had the nerve to eavesdrop on our private conversation, I need insurance that you'll keep your mouth shut.

05:23The money barely covers her treatment as it is.

05:27Make sure there's no misunderstanding later.

05:31Strip.

05:33You're insane, darling. You'll catch a cold staying wet like this.

05:38So, what'll it be? Your daughter's insurance or your dignity?

05:50No, I won't do it.

05:51Then kiss your daughter's future goodbye.

05:54One phone call and I will have you scrubbing toilets in Jersey.

05:59How long do you think your daughter has left?

06:08Keep going.

06:11Keep going.

06:16What the hell is going on here?

06:17Oh, um, Mr. Cardman, thank God you're here. I... Mr. Cardman?

06:23Mark Cardman? I've seen him.

06:25I've seen who?

06:26Mark Cardman. He shares the same name with my ex-boyfriend, but he looks nothing like him.

06:32Have we met before?

06:34No, sir, I don't think so.

06:36Strange. Something about you.

06:38Sir, this janitor was just caught prostituting herself on company grounds. She was sending nudes to the security guards.

06:45No, that's a lie. She was threatening me and recording me.

06:48It's...

06:52Sir, I'll take Miss Jones to HR for a full investigation now.

06:55You'll be lucky if all you lose is your job.

06:57God.

06:59I swear I know you from somewhere.

07:02I don't think so, sir.

07:04Please, call me Mark.

07:19You want me to help?

07:20I can manage.

07:21No, please, let me.

07:27That... that's...

07:28Championship trophy. That's about five. Only time the college team won.

07:32Someone I used to know had the exact same one.

07:34Oh, yeah?

07:37This person with the trophy, what was his name?

07:40Mark.

07:41Mark Cardman?

07:42Yes, sir.

07:44This person with the trophy, what was his name?

07:47Mark.

07:52He, um...

07:53Sir, the board is waiting.

07:55Thanks, Tyler. I'll have HR fast track your insurance.

07:59Thank you. That really means a lot.

08:01Consider it done.

08:04Tyler, find me everything on Emily Adams. Employment history, background, everything.

08:09You got it, boss.

08:14$20,000 for the pre-transplant meds. I can handle it. I have to.

08:30Application denied, Ms. Adams.

08:33Please.

08:34No assets.

08:35My daughter.

08:36No collateral. Income barely above minimum wage.

08:40The math just doesn't work.

08:43Please, I'll take any interest rate. I'll work three jobs. I'll do anything.

08:48Well, there's always the old-fashioned way.

08:50You find yourself a rich old man with one foot in the grave.

08:56Works like a charm.

09:10Jesus, Emily. What were you thinking?

09:13I'm fine.

09:14Not fine. Let me drive you home.

09:17No, that's not necessary.

09:18It's what any decent employer would do.

09:20I have to get to the hospital.

09:21Then I'll drive you there.

09:31Hey, either I help you walk or I carry you.

09:34You don't have to.

09:35I'll walk and it is then.

09:41Are you my dad?

09:46You're Mark, aren't you? The one that mom lost.

09:50I thought maybe.

09:52Yes, I'm Mark.

09:54How'd you know my name?

09:56Sweetheart, this is Mr. Cardman. He's my boss.

10:00It's a different Mark.

10:05Stand back, please.

10:07Stand back, please.

10:09She's coming out. She's coming out.

10:10She's crashing. Get her to the OR, now!

10:13What's happening?

10:17I need to ask. Where do we stand on the pre-transplant?

10:20She hasn't signed off on it yet.

10:23She's stable for now. We have to hurry.

10:26She doesn't have much time.

10:30Why do you need a loan?

10:32The company insurance should cover this.

10:33You're just a janitor, Mr. CEO.

10:35Basic coverage only pays for hospital stays and the prep meds alone are $20,000.

10:40And the transplant? Well, no bank will touch me.

10:43I'm just a single mom and I earn minimum wage and I have no collateral.

10:47This is on me. My company.

10:49Let me make it right.

10:51How?

10:53Marry me.

10:57No, you've already done too much.

10:59Look at your daughter. Let me help, please.

11:02She already thinks I'm her dad.

11:04Why don't we play along, you know? For her sake. A little fiction to give her hope.

11:13Selena, I need to tell you something. I am your father.

11:17I knew it. I knew I was right.

11:20Your mom and I, we lost each other years ago.

11:23But I'm here now and I want to make up for every second I missed.

11:35Congratulations.

11:36I'm finally married to Mark.

11:39Married to Mark? What am I, a stand-in?

11:41No, sorry. My boyfriend from college had the exact same name, but he disappeared after a car accident.

11:47Car accident?

11:48Yeah, we never found him.

11:49Strange. I had a serious accident in college, too.

11:52The accidents are everything. My memories, even my face.

11:58The accidents are everything. My memories, even my face.

12:03My memories, even my face.

12:04Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

12:06It's fine. I'm just going to go clean up in the restroom.

12:25Still watching O'Brien?

12:28Yeah.

12:32Once the insurance kicks in, we can end this. No strings, no demands.

12:37Right.

12:41Oh, it's Anna. I gotta get back to work.

12:43Can you just drop me around the corner? I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

12:57No water to lean on.

13:06Looks like there should be a photo in here.

13:15Didn't expect to see me here, huh?

13:17What the hell were you doing in Mark's car, you fucking whore?

13:21Mark's got a fiancée. If you want to spread your legs during your lunch break, do it somewhere else.

13:26He was just driving me to the hospital. What fiancée?

13:28Don't act stupid. It's annoying.

13:30Now come with me.

13:31What are you doing? Let me go!

13:39Relax, sweetheart. We're just going to teach you a lesson.

13:47Stay away from me!

13:48All right, you can go. Relax. You're just going to have some fun.

13:57Yeah.

14:00Help! Somebody help!

14:02You think that you can just walk into our world getting rides from the CEO?

14:07Well, where is he now?

14:09I wonder. Will he still look at you when you're not so pretty anymore?

14:14Anna, please don't do this. I'm begging now. I'm not so feisty anymore.

14:19Get off me!

14:25Get off me!

14:31Turn that shit off! Who the fuck?

14:38Boss, I didn't see you there.

14:40Touch her again and I'll cut your head off.

14:42But it was Emily. She wanted money.

14:45My wife doesn't need a damn thing from you.

14:47Emily's your wife? How?

14:49Fire her and press charges.

14:51I didn't do anything. I swear.

14:53Emily, say something!

14:55No one touches my wife.

14:57Fuck.

15:17Where are we?

15:18My place. Why don't you ask me for help?

15:20We're going to end this sooner or later, Mark.

15:22No reason to tell the whole world about our marriage.

15:25Couldn't agree more.

15:27Drink?

15:28No, thanks.

15:30Mark's phone?

15:32Which one is you?

15:38Sorry.

15:44What the hell is going on here?

15:46Are you trying to shame me by bringing another woman into our house?

15:51Oh, I can explain.

15:52You! Shut up!

15:53What the hell is your problem, Eve?

15:54You know what our relationship really is.

15:56And is this your way of getting back at me?

15:59I'm still your fiancé!

16:01Your fiancé? What is she talking about?

16:03You're wrong, Eve.

16:04She's just my employee. She was injured and I was helping her with her wounds.

16:07How can you say that?

16:09Was everything a lie?

16:13Yeah, I got into some kind of trouble and Mr. Carman was just helping me out.

16:16Oh.

16:17I knew you wouldn't choose someone like her over me.

16:21I'll do whatever you want. Just don't be mad at me, Mark.

16:24Enough, Eve. We're not alone here.

16:27What are you still doing here? Get out!

16:29Yes, sir.

16:30Let my assistant drive you home.

16:31I'm fine, thank you.

16:36Marry me, Mark.

16:40Did you not hear what I said?

16:41I said I want you to marry me!

16:43We've always just been business.

16:45When the deal's done, I'm calling off the wedding.

16:50Oh, that bitch!

16:51She is not stealing my fiancé!

17:03Locket?

17:04Shit.

17:05The one thing that reminded me of you, Mark.

17:09I can't believe I lost it.

17:14I screwed up. I'm sorry.

17:16Please, let me explain.

17:21I'm sorry.

17:26The thing with Eve...

17:28It's complicated.

17:29That's why I can't go public with our marriage.

17:32I got it. We're just a contract.

17:34Nothing more. And I won't make it a thing.

17:38You left this in my car.

17:40Oh, my God. Thank you.

17:42Should be a photo inside. You and someone else.

17:46Yeah. Someone long ago.

17:49Celine's getting worse. We need to act fast.

17:55She needs a transplant, but there's no match.

17:58Emily's marrow doesn't work.

18:00I can die.

18:02Odds are slim, even with family, not to mention you or...

18:05I'm her father. Let me try.

18:07You really want to do this?

18:09I'll do whatever it takes.

18:12Thank you. I don't know how to repay you.

18:14Thank you so much, Dad.

18:16Everything's going to be okay soon.

18:18All right. Let's get you on the schedule.

18:21Let's hope miracles exist.

18:34What are you doing?

18:37Just pampering my beautiful wife.

18:39She wakes up from her beauty sleep.

18:47I'm sorry. Pretend I'm not here.

18:50Celina's up.

18:52Yeah.

18:53I'll go get Dr. Gray.

18:55Mom, I'm so happy we're finally going to be together as a family.

19:00Not now. She's too happy. I can't let her know the truth.

19:04Hi, Celina. I'm Mr. Mushrooms.

19:06Oh, Mushrooms. I'm allergic.

19:10And we meet.

19:12And we leave.

19:14Sweetheart, I've never seen anybody get puppy eyes from Mushrooms before.

19:17Huh. Weird. I get the same type of allergic reaction, too.

19:21That's how I know you're my dad. No paternity test needed.

19:26Gosh, what if she is my daughter?

19:29Okay, well, I've got to get back to work.

19:31So, see you later?

19:33I guess I'll get going as well.

19:39Emily, did you hear?

19:41Mark is gone. Fired.

19:42Wait, what?

19:43We're the new supervisor.

19:44You're kidding.

19:45I heard the CEO's assistant promoted you.

19:47Did you sleep with him, too?

19:49She's just jealous.

19:51Don't let her get to you.

19:52You deserve this.

19:54I should tell Mark to back up.

19:56This is moving too fast.

20:00Here to thank me?

20:02Eve.

20:03You made your favorite.

20:04I hope we're okay now.

20:06I'll call off the engagement just like you asked.

20:08Thanks.

20:10Um, let's get you cleaned up.

20:12I'll change in the break room.

20:25What the hell?

20:27What the hell?

20:30Mark loves these little games.

20:32Just the two of us.

20:35Wait, before you go, make me a coffee.

20:39Not happening.

20:41Do you know who you're speaking to?

20:43I am the second largest shareholder in this company,

20:45and I'm Mark's fiancee.

20:47I could get you fired in an instant.

20:59Bring it to me.

21:05You know, Selena's insurance hasn't been approved yet,

21:08and disrespecting me is not going to help you.

21:11But I'll give you a chance.

21:17You drink this,

21:20and I'll make sure your daughter gets life-saving surgery.

21:28What are you two doing here?

21:35What are you two doing here?

21:37What's going on, Emily?

21:38Why the hell are you wearing my shirt, Eve?

21:40Emily spilled coffee on me.

21:42I guess she's not too fond of me wearing her shirt.

21:45But you were so rough earlier, I got soaked,

21:47so I had to put something on to cover up the mess.

21:50I'm not staying for this.

21:54Emily, wait.

21:56Did you need me for something?

21:58You've done enough making me supervisor, Mark.

22:00I don't need anything else from you.

22:01HR made you supervisor.

22:03That wasn't my call.

22:04You earned it.

22:05No, sorry.

22:06My loan is almost through, and then I can pay you back.

22:08And then we can get a divorce.

22:11I...

22:14Divorce?

22:16Is that really what you want?

22:18You never thought about actually staying with me.

22:21I don't want to be the third wheel in your drama, Mark.

22:24I have bills to pay and a daughter to take care of.

22:27Emily, don't get the wrong idea.

22:29There's nothing going on with Eve.

22:31Please, trust me.

22:33I'll prove it to you.

22:35You'll love this.

22:36You're going to love what I got you.

22:39Oh, perfect timing.

22:41I'm right around the corner.

22:45I feel like I'm remembering something.

22:49Mark, are you okay?

22:51Wait, this necklace?

22:53It looks just like mine.

22:54Mark, what do you remember?

22:56Our client, Mr. Thompson, is waiting for you in the conference room, boss.

23:01I'll see you later.

23:04Get your team to tidy up and take these to the conference room.

23:09Mr. Thompson likes lilies in every room he's having a meeting in.

23:22Bone marrow donation?

23:24Mark's donating bone marrow for that bitch's kid?

23:27No way in hell.

23:28This is his wife.

23:29Mark's not available right now.

23:31We're trying for a baby.

23:33He will not be donating.

23:45So, we've secured a $200 million investment for a new overseas branch.

23:51Sir, what's wrong?

23:54What's wrong?

23:56Lilies?

23:57I said no lilies.

23:59Who the hell brought these in?

24:00Emily did.

24:01What? No, I...

24:02If anything happens to Mr. Thompson, we are suing your company.

24:05Mr. Thompson, we are so sorry.

24:07My fiancé will personally escort you to the hospital.

24:10Sila, prep the car.

24:11We'll get Mr. Thompson to a specialist ASAP.

24:16Did you try to kill our client, Emily?

24:19Anna, you told me to bring the lilies in the room.

24:21Are you really trying to smear, Anna?

24:24Oh, please, I know you two are in on it.

24:26You're trying to blame your incompetence on us?

24:29If you spent less time trying to seduce my fiancé, you could actually do your job.

24:33Emily is always the problem.

24:35We should have thrown her out on the street ages ago.

24:42Jen, you saw me take the lilies out of the room, right?

24:44I saw Emily put the lilies on the table.

24:48I saw Emily put the lilies on the table.

24:52What? Jen, why are you lying?

24:54I'm sorry.

24:56Trying to run away from the mess that you made?

24:58I didn't do anything. Let me talk to Mark.

25:00Mark? Do you really think he cares?

25:03Stop dreaming.

25:04He left me to handle this.

25:05He doesn't give a shit about you.

25:07You ruined everything, Emily.

25:10Because of you, Selena's insurance is cancelled.

25:14Selena's not getting treatment.

25:16What? Please, you can't.

25:18Selena's surgery is happening soon.

25:20Please, you can't do this. You can't.

25:21What? Please, you can't.

25:23Selena's surgery is happening soon.

25:25Please, you can't do this. You can't.

25:27Anna, put your supervisor's head in the bucket.

25:32You are really forcing our hands, Emily.

25:36Let me fucking go.

25:37Let's see how you're going to seduce your boss smelling like piss.

25:40I didn't seduce anyone.

25:41Oh, no? Then how did you get the supervisor position by yourself?

25:44Please, Emily, save us all the time.

25:46Get your head in the bucket.

25:47Please, Emily, save us all the time.

25:49Get your head in the bucket.

25:53Mark, where are you?

25:56Get the fuck off of her.

26:11How are you feeling?

26:12I'm fine.

26:13What happened to the client?

26:14He's fine. Don't worry.

26:16Linda's fired, Anna's demoted, and Eve's been dealt with.

26:19I won't let them hurt you again.

26:22You've been through hell.

26:24I'll fix this.

26:26Ask for Selena. I'm waiting on the hospital.

26:28If I'm a match, I'll give her my marrow.

26:30And if not, I'll find another way.

26:34I don't know how to repay you.

26:36You don't need to repay me.

26:38Anything for you.

26:39Just rest. I'll take care of everything.

26:47Mark, I don't know how to thank you.

26:59You sure?

27:00I don't know. I haven't fallen for someone in such a long time.

27:04Let me be that someone. I'm here for you.

27:07I don't know, Mark. I care about you.

27:17No worries. When you're ready, I'll be here.

27:27Selena's loan is approved.

27:31Selena's loan is approved.

27:33I gotta get to the hospital. Dr. Green's waiting.

27:35Relax. I told you, I've got everything covered. Trust me.

27:40I gotta take this real quick.

27:42Okay.

27:43Dr. Gray?

27:45I got the money. We can start the application now.

27:48Emily.

27:49Hmm?

27:50We don't have a match for Selena.

27:52What?

27:53What about Mark's?

27:54Mark withdrew.

27:55His wife was concerned about their plans for a child.

27:58A child?

27:59Mark never mentioned kids with me.

28:02Did you really think he was just going to don't hit bone marrow for some random kid?

28:08Not part of your pathetic drama.

28:10What exactly are you playing at?

28:11Mark and I will have a child of our own soon.

28:13And you're just some pathetic little toy he's playing with.

28:16But don't worry, darling. I'll still save Selena.

28:19But first, you have to let me do something to you.

28:23What?

28:24What?

28:25What?

28:26What?

28:27What?

28:28What?

28:29What?

28:30What?

28:38Well, here's the full report, sir.

28:42But there was something else.

28:44What is it?

28:45Well, you want me to look into Emily's past, but it seems like she's erased it.

28:50There's almost nothing.

28:52So what did you find?

28:54She went to school with you, but as soon as you had your accident, she dropped out.

28:58So you're saying I probably knew her.

29:04Perhaps you should just ask her that yourself, sir.

29:07Oh shit, I gotta get back to her.

29:14What the fuck?

29:17Oh, darling, you look terrible.

29:20You didn't think you could just walk away, did you?

29:22Crazy bitch, what did you do?

29:24What did I do?

29:26I'm just taking care of a few things.

29:30Where's Mark? Where's Selena?

29:32Oh, don't worry, I'll take good care of them.

29:35But first, I need you to be a good girl for me.

29:38No, let me go!

29:40Oh, calm down, I'm not gonna kill you.

29:42Just putting you to sleep, and no one will be able to find you while I take that.

29:46What's mine?

29:47No, no, let me go.

29:50No, no, let me go.

29:53Hey, no!

29:55Help, help, help!

29:57Don't tell me you're both dead.

30:02Hey!

30:03Don't worry, I've got you.

30:13Sir, it's been confirmed. Eve orchestrated everything.

30:17We're terminating all contracts with Aeternus.

30:19But, sir, the losses.

30:21I don't care. No one messes with my girl.

30:23Send Eve to New Zealand. I don't want her anywhere near Emily.

30:32Take all the time you need.

30:34I'm fine. Selena's waiting for me. I gotta go home.

30:37Dr. Greig's here with a new treatment plan for Selena.

30:39Meds, care are the best team.

30:41I've got it all covered. I got you two.

30:43I appreciate it, Mark, but we're just in a contract. Nothing more.

30:47This was never just a contract, Emily. You're my wife.

30:50I won't let anyone hurt you again.

30:54I trust you.

31:06What are you doing?

31:13Sleep. I'm here. You're safe now.

31:17I'll always look after you. No matter what.

31:31Selena is stable after treatment.

31:34No need for surgery.

31:37She'll be ready for discharge soon.

31:39That's amazing. Thank you so much, Dr. Greig.

31:41Excuse me.

31:43Excuse me.

31:45Did you hear that, sweetie? You're going home soon.

32:06So, does this mean we're all going to live together now? Mom and Dad?

32:11Yes, sweetheart. And so you get tired of us.

32:14Sweetie, the food here is awful.

32:18Can one of you two get me a burger or something, please?

32:22Yes, I'll imagine.

32:27Stop following me. I'll call the cops.

32:29Emily!

32:31Hey, what's wrong? You okay?

32:33Yeah, it's just wrong number.

32:35Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

32:37You recognize the trophy in my office.

32:39Are we at the same school?

32:42Are we at the same school?

32:44Um...

32:47No, I didn't go to college.

32:49I can't let Mark know. Not about my past. All that shame.

32:54You can tell me anything, Emily. I won't judge.

32:59Hey, watch out.

33:02Hey, I promised Selena I'd look after Emily.

33:06Don't push me away, please.

33:09Please.

33:18Wow. Did you make all this?

33:21No.

33:23I've never really felt love before. Until I met you.

33:27I don't know. I might not deserve your love.

33:31Loving you feels right.

33:33It's like something's telling me you're the one.

33:40You want to rate my cooking?

33:44This is amazing.

33:46I'm glad you like it.

33:48From now on, I can be your private chef every single day.

33:53I would love that. Really.

34:03I feel like I've known you for years.

34:06I feel like I've known you for years.

34:15Then don't let me go.

34:20This feels so right.

34:25Emily?

34:37What the hell did I do last night?

34:42Oh, I didn't mean to. I...

34:45You're running already? What for last night?

34:48I'm not running. I gotta work.

34:50Emily, they'll survive if you're late for work for one day.

34:53I really gotta go.

34:55Well, I'm your husband. Don't I at least deserve a good morning kiss?

35:02There. You happy now?

35:05I really gotta go. I'll be late.

35:07I'll drive you. I can't let my wife leave my side.

35:20Look who finally decided to show up to work.

35:25Watch your mouth, Anna. You're demoted.

35:28Start talking to your superior with some respect.

35:31I'm Eve's cousin. What do you think Mr. Cardamon's gonna do? Fire me?

35:35Well, what if I do?

35:37Boss! What... What are you saying?

35:41Boss Emily, again, you're out. I don't care who your cousin is.

35:44Here at Cardamon Enterprises, we treat everyone the same.

35:47But hold on. I won't hear an apology now, do I?

35:52I'm sorry, Mr. Cardamon.

35:54No. Not to me. To her.

35:58I'm sorry, Emily, for dropping the copy and accusing you.

36:05It's fine, Anna. Just don't do it again.

36:07You're here for your work, not who you're related to.

36:10And Emily, well, she's my...

36:15And Emily, well, she's my...

36:18Consider yourself warned.

36:21Why won't you let me go public?

36:23If you did, no one would dare mess with you. I'd give you and Selina everything.

36:26I can take care of Selina myself.

36:28We agreed to keep it simple, remember?

36:30Unless I don't want to get dragged into your mess with Eve.

36:32I get it, but it still hurts.

36:34You're making things way harder than they need to be.

36:40Happy now?

36:42Happy now?

36:57Eighteen months. Happy?

36:58Who told you to drive like that? Forget your bonus this month.

37:01Sorry, it's only the hurry.

37:12Look at home, sweetie.

37:16How's the house? If it's too small, we can find a bigger one tomorrow.

37:19This place is like a castle. I love it.

37:21Go check out your room. I'll sleep beside you tonight. I miss our late night chats.

37:25I'm off to bed. I think Dad needs you a little more than I do.

37:29Maybe I'll get a little sister soon.

37:32Dad, do you have any pics from when you were young?

37:34I'm going to see if I got any of your elite CEO jeans.

37:37You actually look more like me.

37:39No, look at this jaw and this face. It's total Cardman material.

37:45Mom, that's literally me.

37:47Oh my God, you really do look like him.

37:50It's kind of scary, actually.

37:52You know what? I'm going to bed.

37:54Okay.

37:55That's literally me.

37:57Oh my God, you really do look like him.

38:00It's kind of scary, actually.

38:03Oh, um, I can get it.

38:06Selena, do you mind grabbing the phone?

38:08Yeah.

38:17Damn, Em, you're looking good. Miss me?

38:22Wow. You really leveled up, Mom.

38:26Heard you found yourself a rich guy.

38:28What do you want?

38:29Just here to see my daughter. He's not here, is he?

38:31Does he know about, you know, us?

38:34There is no us. Get the hell out.

38:38Hey, wait here. I'm going to go check on your mom.

38:41Don't be that way. Unless you want to pay me to disappear.

38:46Wait, that's Mom and Dad when they were young.

38:49This doesn't feel right.

38:51Oh, here he comes. The rich guy.

38:56You know Selena's my daughter, right?

38:58He's lying. Selena isn't his. Dad?

39:01You were born at Queen Valley Hospital.

39:03I was there. I named you.

39:05You've got a birthmark, right?

39:06He's just screwing with us.

39:08Patty doesn't even know about it.

39:10Sir, you need to get the fuck out of my head.

39:12Patty doesn't even know about it.

39:14Sir, you need to get the fuck out of my house.

39:16You know she's a con artist, right?

39:18Leave.

39:22This isn't over.

39:25I'm taking my daughter back.

39:28I'm so sorry. I didn't think my ex would show up.

39:31I don't buy any of this bullshit.

39:33So that walking red flag is my biological dad?

39:36Wow. Tragic.

39:38At least that explains my trust issues.

39:40I didn't marry for love. I had no choice.

39:42My boyfriend disappeared after I got pregnant and I dropped out and kept the baby.

39:46You know how I feel about that.

39:48I'm so sorry. I didn't think my ex would show up.

39:51I don't buy any of this bullshit.

39:53So that walking red flag is my biological dad?

39:55I got pregnant and I dropped out and kept the baby.

39:57You don't have to explain. I get it.

39:59William was my neighbor and he took me to the hospital.

40:01Selena has a blood disorder and William claimed to be a sailor.

40:04Said we should fake the marriage for her insurance.

40:07But then he drank too much and got violent and that's why I left him.

40:14Whatever happens, you're here now. I got you.

40:17I never wanted you to know any of this.

40:19Whatever happens, you're here now. I got you.

40:22I never wanted you to know any of this.

40:24It's not your fault. You did what you had to for Selena.

40:27You two are safe now.

40:29And you're my daughter, Selena.

40:31And I'll love you as much as I love your mom.

40:43Shop away, ladies. Everything's sold out.

40:47Shop away, ladies. Everything's on me.

40:49We don't need anything.

40:51Try the newest collection.

40:52Oh my God, seriously?

40:54It's like a movie. I'm practically a princess.

40:56Of course, my princess.

41:07Selena?

41:08Morning, Mom.

41:09What are you doing here?

41:10Shouldn't you be resting?

41:11That's what I could intern.

41:13I'm totally fine, Mom.

41:14Just don't let anyone know that your phone is busted, right?

41:16We don't need that kind of attention.

41:18Who's that?

41:19That's Emily's daughter, Selena.

41:21Emily struck the CEO.

41:22She almost got me fired.

41:24Now she's bringing her daughter here, disrespecting you.

41:27Don't go back to work, Anna.

41:30Fresh pastries for my girl.

41:33Thanks, Dad.

41:35Take it easy, okay?

41:36If you feel sick, go home.

41:37Your mom will get mad at me.

41:38I'm fine. I'm not a kid.

41:40I'll be a CEO or whatever. I got this.

41:45First Emily, now her brat too?

41:48No wonder Mark's cutting me off.

42:15Who the hell did this?

42:17What's going on here?

42:19Looks like there's no room for you here.

42:21Just like your mother.

42:23What is wrong with you?

42:25Well, everyone's listening, sweetheart.

42:27Why don't you tell them how you actually got this job?

42:33Well, everyone's listening, sweetheart.

42:35Why don't you tell them how you actually got this job?

42:38Everyone's listening, sweetheart.

42:40Why don't you tell them how you actually got this job?

42:47Hey! Hey!

42:48Get your hands off of her!

42:49Shouldn't you be in New Zealand, Eve?

42:51What the hell are you doing here?

42:52Just stopping a little mother-daughter scam operation.

42:55Duh!

42:58Stop!

43:00Hey, back off!

43:04Stay away from her!

43:06What are you waiting for?

43:08Get your cameras out!

43:09Let's get a live stream going!

43:12Stop it!

43:13Enough!

43:15Back to work now!

43:19Back to work now!

43:23Wait, I'm Eve's cousin.

43:24I don't give a damn who you're related to.

43:26You're fired.

43:27Anyone who messes with Selina and Emily will pay.

43:30Take her away.

43:31What? No, wait!

43:33Guys, come on!

43:35Mark, they were provoking me.

43:37You're banned from every Cartman property.

43:39No more deals.

43:40No more contracts.

43:41No more year.

43:42You can't do that.

43:44My team runs the core tech.

43:46The clients will never stand for it.

43:47You'll lose billions.

43:50What has she done to you?

43:52I have had your back from the beginning.

43:54Stay the fuck away from my wife and daughter.

44:01Your wife?

44:02Emily's my wife.

44:03Selina's my daughter.

44:04Touch them again and you'll regret it.

44:06Anyone else want to try?

44:11Let's go.

44:12You're going to regret this.

44:14You all will.

44:23This is on me.

44:24I should have been watching out for you.

44:26Even at the office.

44:27What do you say we take a trip?

44:28Get away from all this.

44:29Europe, anywhere you want.

44:31Selina, how is she? Is she really okay?

44:33She's tougher than you think.

44:34Tyler took her to say goodbye to a friend.

44:36She'll be back soon.

44:37Speak of the devil, they're probably back now.

44:39Hey.

44:40Boss, we got attacked.

44:41Selina's gone.

44:42What?

44:45Well, find her.

44:46I'm on my way.

44:47No. No, no, no.

44:48This is my fault she's still recovering.

44:49I don't know what to do.

44:50Emily, listen to me.

44:51Stay here.

44:52Do not leave the house.

44:53I'll bring her back, I promise.

44:54But I need you to be safe.

44:55Promise me.

45:00Hello?

45:01I sent the location.

45:02Come alone or you'll only get her dead body.

45:06Oh my God.

45:08Mark, I'm sorry.

45:09I owe you more than I can ever repay you.

45:12No matter what happens, I love you.

45:15Emily.

45:20Selina, oh my God.

45:21Are you okay?

45:22It's gonna be okay.

45:23It's okay.

45:26Anna?

45:27Why?

45:30Anna?

45:32Why?

45:33Who else would want to deal with somebody as worthless as you?

45:36Do you really think that mines can keep you?

45:38Do you really think that killing me will fix your pathetic life?

45:41No, not just killing me.

45:43Selina too.

45:46Consider it a posthumous deal.

45:54Emily and I,

45:57we knew each other.

46:03You should have stayed in your lane.

46:04It's too late now.

46:17Emily.

46:23I'm fine, I'm fine.

46:24Selina, get Selina.

46:27It's okay, it's okay.

46:29Mom behind you.

46:30I'm taking you with me, you bitch.

46:41Mark.

46:43Will you please go with me?

46:49You messed up so much, Mark.

46:51Please wake up.

46:53I need you.

46:54I won't let anything keep us apart again.

46:56Mark.

47:00You're awake.

47:01I'll go get Dr. Gray.

47:02Emily, wait.

47:05I remember.

47:07What?

47:0820 years ago,

47:10you had good news.

47:12I never made it.

47:13The accident took everything.

47:16My memories.

47:18My face.

47:19Oh my god, it's really you?

47:21All this time?

47:23I thought I lost you.

47:24My family sent me to Switzerland for reconstructive surgery.

47:28By the time I recovered,

47:30I couldn't remember anything.

47:32I never thought fate would bring me back to you.

47:36Hand me my coat.

47:50All this time.

47:52It's really you.

47:53It's really you.

47:54It's always been you.

48:00All this time.

48:02It's really you.

48:03It's always been you.

48:04I'm so sorry.

48:05I should have been here.

48:07I never should have left you alone.

48:08That's okay.

48:10You're here now.

48:11That's all that matters.

48:12Where's Selene?

48:13Is she okay?

48:14Yeah, she's next door.

48:15She's shaking,

48:16but the doctors are keeping her for observation.

48:18Let's go see her.

48:19Yeah.

48:24You again.

48:25What the hell are you on now?

48:26Just thought you'd like to know the truth.

48:27She's been lying to you this whole time.

48:29After your money,

48:30she's playing you for a fool.

48:34She ain't yours, buddy.

48:35This proves it.

48:36Selene is not yours.

48:41Selene is not yours.

48:43This is a lie.

48:44This file is fake.

48:45William,

48:46tell the truth.

48:47You know I like it when you're feisty with me.

48:50Hey, let go of me.

48:53No, Mark!

48:55Haven't you done enough to ruin him?

48:56Nurse!

48:57Doctor, please!

48:58Save my fiancé!

49:14Dr. Grey?

49:15What's happening?

49:19Her condition is deteriorating.

49:20She needs a bone marrow transplant.

49:22Fast.

49:23Please, I'll do anything.

49:24Just save her.

49:25We need a marrow transplant first.

49:27We'll call you once we find one.

49:40Leave me the call.

49:41Selene will see.

49:44You again.

49:45Give it back.

49:48You married a billionaire

49:49and this is all that you got?

49:52I want all your cash.

49:53It's for Selene's treatment.

49:54Give it back.

49:55Still taking care of that little bastard.

49:56Why don't you just let her die?

50:01Give me that.

50:02You got that fire in you, huh?

50:04You like that.

50:05You want to work off your debt now?

50:07Let go of me!

50:10Selene's rich.

50:11Help!

50:15Sorry I'm late.

50:20It's over.

50:22Then you'll come and live.

50:25Get off!

50:27He's in custody too

50:28for orchestrating Selene's kidnapping.

50:29William isn't Selene's father.

50:31I know.

50:32I never bought that bullshit.

50:33And even if Selene isn't mine,

50:34I'll still love the both of you.

50:35Always.

50:37You must be worried about Selene.

50:38I'll take you to the hospital.

50:41Mr. Cardman,

50:42I have great news.

50:43Your bone marrow

50:44is a perfect match for Selene.
