00:00:30Surprise, daddy!
00:00:44Shopping for a stepmother is so much easier when they come to you.
00:00:47Which one catches your eye?
00:00:48Come on, Emily.
00:00:49I'm running a corporation.
00:00:50I'm not auditioning for The Bachelor.
00:00:54Okay?
00:00:55So why don't you just call this whole pageant off?
00:00:59Fine.
00:01:00But just so you know, if you insist on living like a hermit, I'll have to cancel school
00:01:04in Oxford.
00:01:05Somebody has to make sure you don't overwork yourself to death.
00:01:09You know, I meant to tell you, and I'm so sorry I didn't, but I'm already married.
00:01:14You're what?
00:01:15I'm married.
00:01:16Tell me.
00:01:17Who is this mystery woman that managed to thaw the great Ethan Carter's heart?
00:01:22Uh, Leo?
00:01:24Betty White, sir.
00:01:26Betty White.
00:01:30Wow, David.
00:01:32Your new apartment is amazing.
00:01:34Shoes!
00:01:35Oh.
00:01:36I've got some shoe covers.
00:01:38I'm tracking dirt inside.
00:01:39David!
00:01:40Thank you, son.
00:01:47Melissa, you must be exhausted growing this little miracle.
00:01:53Um, I brought some fresh produce from my garden.
00:01:56Everything's organic.
00:01:57Filled with nutrients, just what you and the baby need.
00:02:00Thanks, Mom.
00:02:02You know what?
00:02:05You actually look younger than I remembered.
00:02:08Could have charged an extra $20,000 for the marriage.
00:02:12What?
00:02:13What is she talking about?
00:02:15David, you didn't tell her?
00:02:17Tell me what?
00:02:18I found your husband.
00:02:21Mr. Porter, he's quite desperate for a wife, and he's willing to pay $100,000 for the marriage.
00:02:29Marriage?
00:02:30Okay, I'm not remarrying.
00:02:32You don't get to be interested or not.
00:02:35David and I, when we got married, what did your family give me?
00:02:39Absolutely nothing.
00:02:44This baby formula itself costs a hundred grand.
00:02:47This is not for us.
00:02:49This is for your grandson's future.
00:02:51Melissa, stop.
00:02:52Stop, Melissa.
00:02:54Mr. Porter is an alcoholic.
00:02:56He's abusive and dangerous.
00:02:58His last wife ended up in the hospital twice.
00:03:01Shut up, David.
00:03:02Nobody asked for your opinion.
00:03:04Take my side, or I swear you never get to see your baby boy.
00:03:09Stop.
00:03:10Please, stop fighting.
00:03:11Don't blame my son for this, okay?
00:03:14The reason I can't remarry is because I'm already married.
00:03:20What?
00:03:21Yeah.
00:03:22You're married?
00:03:23Yes.
00:03:24To who?
00:03:25Prove it.
00:03:26Where's the certificate?
00:03:27Show me.
00:03:28Show me.
00:03:32We had a deal.
00:03:33You said you'd sign the marriage papers for $10,000.
00:03:36Now you're demanding $50,000?
00:03:38That's extortion.
00:03:39Inflation, supply and demand.
00:03:41Call it whatever the heck you want.
00:03:43If you don't pay, I'm leaving.
00:03:48I can't come up with that kind of money.
00:03:54What am I going to do?
00:03:56I'll marry you.
00:03:57No charge.
00:04:02I'll marry you.
00:04:03No charge.
00:04:12Oh.
00:04:13There you go.
00:04:14There's that.
00:04:18Here.
00:04:19This is a limited edition Patek Philippe worth $700,000.
00:04:23Consider it a wedding gift.
00:04:24$700,000?
00:04:25Yeah.
00:04:26That's insane.
00:04:27There's no way I can accept something that valuable.
00:04:29You can, and you will.
00:04:31Look, I have a board meeting in 20 minutes, so go ahead.
00:04:35Take it.
00:04:38There you go.
00:04:40There you go.
00:04:41I'll be in touch.
00:04:54So you actually went and got married.
00:04:58What now?
00:04:59You're going to bring him and have him in each of us?
00:05:03No.
00:05:04I sold the house.
00:05:06The house that David grew up in.
00:05:09This should be enough to cover the baby's formula and then some.
00:05:17I won't be bothering you anymore.
00:05:19I'll be on my way.
00:05:21Bye, David.
00:05:34The assembly's flight to Oxford just took off.
00:05:37The marriage plan worked.
00:05:40And the surgery?
00:05:41Already scheduled.
00:05:43The doctors estimate a full year for recovery.
00:05:47Should we inform your wife?
00:06:00Mama?
00:06:01Mama?
00:06:04Mama?
00:06:05I love you.
00:06:08I love you.
00:06:10Mom.
00:06:14I don't think we should see each other anymore.
00:06:17For a long time.
00:06:19Melissa gets upset.
00:06:20I don't want to stir anything with her.
00:06:22It's okay, son.
00:06:23I understand.
00:06:27Thanks, Mom.
00:06:34Take care.
00:06:37Okay.
00:07:04Sir, she hasn't responded.
00:07:06I don't think she's coming.
00:07:08Well, seems I read this wrong.
00:07:11She made a choice, so...
00:07:13Let's go.
00:07:29Mom!
00:07:31Help!
00:07:32Help!
00:07:33Call an ambulance!
00:07:36Mom!
00:07:51Sofia!
00:07:52Let me help you!
00:07:53No, you shouldn't be doing that on your own.
00:07:55I'm fine, I'm fine.
00:07:56Just please go back inside.
00:07:58I can't believe David hasn't seen you since the accident.
00:08:02I mean, you sold your house, you moved to the village.
00:08:05It's all for him.
00:08:06And he can't be bothered to call?
00:08:08He's happy.
00:08:09He's living his life.
00:08:10That's all that really matters.
00:08:12What about your husband?
00:08:14He got married a year ago and I haven't even met the man.
00:08:18You know what?
00:08:19After the accident, it was all such a blur.
00:08:21It happened so quickly and I don't even remember what he looks like.
00:08:24I'm late for work.
00:08:25I have to go.
00:08:29So stubborn.
00:08:36Sofie, those windows are a disgrace.
00:08:40Go clean them.
00:08:41No.
00:08:42Are you getting too old for this job?
00:08:45Yes, ma'am.
00:09:06No!
00:09:19Eyes up!
00:09:21Who do you think you are, staring at the chairman like that?
00:09:25Don't even dream of it.
00:09:35I'll marry you.
00:09:36No charge.
00:09:40This is a limited edition Patek Philippe worth $700,000.
00:09:44Yes!
00:10:05The proposal for the Henderson client meeting, Ms. Carter.
00:10:11I got this in Paris.
00:10:13It's a limited edition and my meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:10:16Here you go.
00:10:19Excuse me, if I may.
00:10:23I can mend that for you.
00:10:25It'll be good as new.
00:10:27Okay.
00:10:31Wow.
00:10:33There you are.
00:10:34It's good as new.
00:10:35New?
00:10:36This isn't just a fix, it's an improvement.
00:10:38The embroidery is amazing.
00:10:40I'm glad you like it.
00:10:41Thank you so much.
00:10:42I have to go, but I hope I see you again.
00:10:44Okay.
00:10:45Sure.
00:10:47Bye.
00:10:48Bye.
00:10:50Meeting adjourned.
00:10:52No one has any other questions.
00:10:54That's all.
00:11:00Your quarterly projections are impressive.
00:11:03Clearly, that new school is really paying off.
00:11:06Save it, Dad.
00:11:07I did a little investigating.
00:11:10And I only found one toothbrush in your bathroom,
00:11:13one coffee mug,
00:11:14and zero signs of any feminine touch anywhere.
00:11:18When I said I was going to skip school,
00:11:20you claimed you were married.
00:11:22How are you going to stick to that story, Dad?
00:11:26I'm married.
00:11:27I told you I was married.
00:11:28I'm married.
00:11:29Perfect.
00:11:30Let's meet her tonight.
00:11:32Have you seen any of your step-moms?
00:11:34A really busy woman.
00:11:36Tonight's not the night.
00:11:38Then when?
00:11:41Soon.
00:11:42Very soon.
00:11:43I promise.
00:11:54Everything happened so quickly.
00:11:57I'm not sure if I can recognize her face anymore.
00:12:00Your first call to your wife in a year.
00:12:02This is so exciting.
00:12:05Sorry.
00:12:06I'm sorry.
00:12:07I'm sorry.
00:12:08I'm sorry.
00:12:09I'm sorry.
00:12:10I'm sorry.
00:12:11I'm sorry.
00:12:12I'm sorry.
00:12:13I'm sorry.
00:12:14I'm sorry.
00:12:15I'm sorry.
00:12:16I'm sorry.
00:12:17I'm sorry.
00:12:18I'm sorry.
00:12:19I'm sorry.
00:12:20I'm sorry.
00:12:21I'm sorry.
00:12:22I'm sorry.
00:12:23I'm sorry.
00:12:24I'm sorry.
00:12:25I'm sorry.
00:12:26I'm sorry.
00:12:27I'm sorry.
00:12:28I'm sorry.
00:12:29I'm sorry.
00:12:30I'm sorry.
00:12:31I'm sorry.
00:12:32I'm sorry.
00:12:33I'm sorry.
00:12:34I'm sorry.
00:12:35I'm sorry.
00:12:36All done.
00:12:37Company time.
00:12:38You were slacking off earlier and...
00:12:41Now this?
00:12:42You can kiss that performance bonus goodbye.
00:12:44No.
00:12:45No, ma'am.
00:12:46Please.
00:12:47Earlier I was only helping a young woman with her torn sleeve.
00:12:49Enough of the excuses.
00:12:51Remember your place.
00:12:53You're just a cleaning lady.
00:12:54One more slip up and you're out on the street.
00:12:58The only one leaving today is you, Sandra.
00:13:00Mr. Carter.
00:13:02Losing your authority.
00:13:03Threatening employees.
00:13:04It's not leadership.
00:13:05It's cowardice.
00:13:06You're fired.
00:13:08Please.
00:13:09Sir, no.
00:13:10I promise it'll never happen again.
00:13:13Please.
00:13:16Just get out of my sight.
00:13:18Thank you, sir.
00:13:26Thank you, Mr. Carter.
00:13:28What's your name?
00:13:30Sophia Reid, sir.
00:13:33Sophia Reid.
00:13:36It sounds so familiar.
00:13:38Mr. Carter.
00:13:40Everything except for the meeting with your wife.
00:13:42The chairman is married now?
00:13:45I thought he raised his daughter by himself.
00:13:47Prepare some gifts.
00:13:48Yes, sir.
00:13:53He's so thoughtful to his wife.
00:14:00Look at that car.
00:14:01The paint job alone probably costs more than my house.
00:14:04What? Somebody like that isn't here.
00:14:06That can't be good.
00:14:25Gifts for your wife.
00:14:26Sir.
00:14:27Custom Cartier jewelry.
00:14:29The keys to the Mercedes, the BMW and the Porsche.
00:14:32And a limited edition designer watch from Rolex.
00:14:37So this is how she's been living?
00:14:40Put an estate on the list.
00:14:42Yes, sir.
00:14:46Except for my manager, Sandra, she's always breathing down my neck.
00:14:50It's like she just got it out for me or something.
00:14:56Hello?
00:14:57Hi, it's your husband.
00:14:58I'm sorry, who is this?
00:15:00Ethan Carter.
00:15:02Ethan Carter.
00:15:04Is he Ethan Carter?
00:15:07Did you say your name was Carter? I'm sorry.
00:15:10Dinner's ready.
00:15:12Got a little pasta bolognese.
00:15:18She's living with another man?
00:15:25Hello.
00:15:26Looks delicious.
00:15:28Whoever that was just hung up on me.
00:15:30I have no idea that was so rude.
00:15:33She's living with another man?
00:15:35She's cheating on you!
00:15:39Let's go.
00:15:48Anyways, this looks lovely.
00:15:49I know, doesn't it look delicious?
00:15:52You know, he does this for me like four times a week.
00:15:55Are you kidding me?
00:15:56Yep.
00:15:57You've got yourself quite the catch.
00:15:59I know.
00:16:00Hooks, cleans.
00:16:02He does it all.
00:16:04Happy for you.
00:16:05Jealous?
00:16:06Yeah.
00:16:08When are we going to find that mystery man of yours?
00:16:18Forget about him.
00:16:20Okay, you know what I really want to show you?
00:16:22Is my little angel, Henry.
00:16:25Look how cute he is.
00:16:27He's almost one.
00:16:30Get me a divorce lawyer.
00:16:32Hello, Mr. Carter.
00:16:33Good morning, Mr. Carter.
00:16:36The chairman looks upset.
00:16:38Is there trouble in paradise?
00:16:49Henry's birthday is today.
00:16:51It's perfect timing.
00:16:53I can finally give him this.
00:17:12Mom, what are you doing here?
00:17:20I came to see my grandson and give him this bracelet.
00:17:24Get your filthy hands away from my son.
00:17:27You're contaminating him with your disgusting germs.
00:17:30That's enough.
00:17:32Don't you dare defend her.
00:17:34Who even let her in?
00:17:36This is a private party.
00:17:38Melissa, that is hardly any way to address your mother-in-law.
00:17:43Mother, please.
00:17:45After all, it's only natural someone of her station
00:17:50to want to see how the other half lives.
00:17:54Feel free to take some table scraps home.
00:17:57Must be an upgrade from your usual fare.
00:17:59Richard, stop.
00:18:01You know what? I just wanted to see my grandson, but I'll leave.
00:18:05Just don't worry about me.
00:18:06What is this?
00:18:07Real gold.
00:18:09Where did you steal this from?
00:18:11Watson found.
00:18:13No, I did not.
00:18:14Watson!
00:18:16Please, I...
00:18:18This was my own money. I saved it for you.
00:18:20Ugh, save it.
00:18:21You don't even deserve to be called a grandmother.
00:18:25Precisely.
00:18:26You are nothing but a cleaning woman.
00:18:29Remember your place.
00:18:30That's enough.
00:18:31Hey! Watch your tone.
00:18:33This is my uncle's hotel.
00:18:35And we're about to sign a big deal with the Carter's Group today.
00:18:40And he'll finally be a VP.
00:18:41A VP?
00:18:43What do you have to offer?
00:18:48No, I have people for that.
00:18:49That's what my assistant Leo is for.
00:18:51Jim Carter?
00:18:53Yes, so it's Tuesday, 3pm.
00:18:54Can we confirm that now?
00:18:57Great.
00:18:58Okay.
00:18:59Excuse me.
00:19:00Sir.
00:19:01May I say that we are honored by your acquisition, sir.
00:19:05Please, allow me to give you the grand tour.
00:19:08Looking forward to it.
00:19:09Right this way.
00:19:11You should be grateful that we even let you through that door.
00:19:15Liz, if you stop, okay?
00:19:17I'll leave.
00:19:18You let the cleaning woman leave.
00:19:21Isn't that the grandmother?
00:19:23I heard that she's super poor and her son only married into the family for money.
00:19:33Grandmother, huh?
00:19:35You're nothing but a common thief!
00:19:41I'm not a thief!
00:19:42Don't say that.
00:19:43Just ten minutes ago, my bracelet went missing.
00:19:46And then you show up uninvited.
00:19:48What are you talking about?
00:19:49What else could you be if you're doing here?
00:19:53I didn't steal anything, okay?
00:19:54I bought this.
00:19:56Then you wouldn't mind if we check your bag, no?
00:20:00No, what are you doing?
00:20:01Stop!
00:20:02Mom, mom!
00:20:03If you have nothing to hide, maybe you should just let them check.
00:20:06Fine, fine.
00:20:07Just let them watch.
00:20:08It's the heart.
00:20:10Okay, look.
00:20:11Whatever.
00:20:16That's a limited edition Patek Philippe.
00:20:19Only one exists.
00:20:21And it belongs to Chairman Carter.
00:20:25Moving on to Q3.
00:20:26Now, you'll notice that the...
00:20:28Mr. Carter, your wife is here.
00:20:30She's in the banquet hall.
00:20:32She has on the watch you gave her.
00:20:35Uh, if you'll excuse me, can we reschedule?
00:20:37Uh, of course.
00:20:38Something I have to take care of.
00:20:39Okay.
00:20:42What the hell is this?
00:20:45How did you get a watch like this?
00:20:47It's a gift.
00:20:48It was a gift from my husband.
00:20:52Oh, yeah.
00:20:53Your husband.
00:20:55What la-la land do you live in?
00:20:57It's either fake or stolen.
00:20:59Or perhaps she's been helping herself to valuables while cleaning.
00:21:04It was a gift.
00:21:05I got it from my husband.
00:21:08Husband.
00:21:09A cleaner like you have a husband that can afford that.
00:21:14I love how you entertain us and make us laugh all the time.
00:21:23Fake or real, you mean nothing to us.
00:21:26And you don't deserve to be my son's grandmother.
00:21:30Oh, please.
00:21:31Stop humiliating yourself.
00:21:33People like you don't belong in our world.
00:21:38Uh, what else did you steal?
00:21:40Did you have-
00:21:41Toss me!
00:21:42How dare you touch my daughter!
00:21:44Search her!
00:21:45Let's see what else she's hiding!
00:21:47Stop!
00:21:48Hey!
00:21:49Leave me alone!
00:21:50Put your hands off my wife!
00:21:54Please!
00:21:55Hey!
00:21:56Put your hands off my wife!
00:21:58Move.
00:22:02You okay?
00:22:03I'm fine.
00:22:04And who are you exactly?
00:22:05I'm her husband.
00:22:06A chauffeur or a security guard?
00:22:10She's a thief!
00:22:11If you were actually her husband, you can pay for everything that she stole!
00:22:15Accusing and searching her without evidence is illegal.
00:22:19Evidence?
00:22:21A worker like her doesn't wear designer watches.
00:22:24That itself is an evidence.
00:22:27So wealth defines character.
00:22:31Is that your idea of justice?
00:22:32Justice is whatever I say it is.
00:22:36Uncle, perfect timing.
00:22:39Do you see him?
00:22:40He's the general manager of this hotel.
00:22:42And nobody like you should get on your knees.
00:22:45Maybe he'll be merciful.
00:22:48Your arrogance is adorable.
00:22:51Oh, you're going to have to watch your mouth.
00:22:53Do you know the Carter Corporation?
00:22:55The multi-billion dollar conglomerate?
00:22:57Well, they're buying this hotel.
00:23:00And they're going to make me vice president.
00:23:04Oh, that's very interesting.
00:23:07Because of your behavior today, that acquisition is dead.
00:23:14Yeah, that's funny.
00:23:16You?
00:23:17Stop a Carter Corporation deal?
00:23:26Let me tell you something.
00:23:27Mr. Brooks and Chairman Carter himself negotiated this deal.
00:23:31Oh.
00:23:32Well, maybe I should get Mr. Brooks on the phone.
00:23:36Okay.
00:23:37It's funny.
00:23:38I think I have his number.
00:23:39Yeah, right.
00:23:44Mr. Brooks!
00:23:45Hi.
00:23:46I'd like to see you in your banquet hall.
00:23:48ASAP, please.
00:23:52He answered.
00:23:53What now?
00:23:54You're just bored and playing make-believe CEO now?
00:23:59Exactly.
00:24:00If Mr. Brooks actually comes here, I will get on my knees and beg.
00:24:05Mr. Brooks is here.
00:24:09Sir!
00:24:10Perfect timing.
00:24:11This imposter says that he's chairman.
00:24:14You are an absolute fool.
00:24:16This is Chairman Carter.
00:24:19Chairman Carter?
00:24:20Chairman Carter?
00:24:21Your incompetence may have just lost us everything.
00:24:25If this acquisition falls through, you will lose it all.
00:24:28Check the security footage.
00:24:30Prove this woman is innocent.
00:24:31Now!
00:24:32Oh, my.
00:24:34Oh, look what I found.
00:24:36It must have slipped off my wrist earlier today.
00:24:39This is such a silly misunderstanding.
00:24:42Yeah, just an everyday mix-up.
00:24:45Mix-up!
00:24:46You planted evidence to frame an innocent woman!
00:24:50You embarrassed this hotel.
00:24:53Effective immediately, you're fired.
00:24:55And you will face a legal action for damages if this acquisition falls through.
00:25:01Forget the acquisition.
00:25:04I've made my decision.
00:25:05Have a good day.
00:25:06Chairman Carter.
00:25:07Let's go.
00:25:08Please.
00:25:09Please reconsider.
00:25:20Mom, wait.
00:25:25Mom, wait.
00:25:32Is it true?
00:25:33About you and Mr. Carter?
00:25:39Alyssa was wondering if you could maybe forgive her uncle.
00:25:44We are family after all.
00:25:47He's not, he's not my husband.
00:25:51He's just my boss.
00:25:55Of course he is.
00:25:57As if someone like him would marry a small-town nobody.
00:26:03David, let's just go.
00:26:05Let's not waste our precious time on her.
00:26:13Sophia.
00:26:17Hi.
00:26:18Why is it every time I see you, you're being tormented by someone?
00:26:21I guess I'm just not very good at standing up for myself.
00:26:25I'm bleeding.
00:26:34Mr. Carter, you're such a kind boss.
00:26:41Your wife must be so lucky.
00:26:44You wouldn't happen to have a Patek Philippe, would you?
00:26:48Patek Philippe?
00:26:49Is that a puppy?
00:26:53She's not my wife.
00:26:56I should wash this.
00:26:57I'll return it to you.
00:26:59I should get going.
00:27:01Okay.
00:27:02Thanks, Mr. Carter.
00:27:03Of course.
00:27:13Dad, when am I going to meet my new stepmom?
00:27:21You promised.
00:27:22It's not so simple right now.
00:27:25How complicated can it be?
00:27:33Did you two have a fight?
00:27:35Let me guess, she cheated on you?
00:27:43Oh my gosh, she cheated on you?
00:27:47She must be incredible to find someone better than you.
00:27:54Really?
00:27:55Jokes, right?
00:27:58Come on, Dad.
00:27:59You're literally a catch.
00:28:00You're rich, you're handsome, only slightly controlling.
00:28:06There must be some sort of mix-up.
00:28:08If you're really her husband, just talk it out.
00:28:11I've got lots of relationship advice.
00:28:14Lots.
00:28:15You want to hear some?
00:28:17I want relationship advice for my daughter.
00:28:25Sir.
00:28:26Not now, Eden.
00:28:28Sir, this is important.
00:28:37We found that at the hospital.
00:28:39It must have fallen out during your surgery.
00:28:42It's a little worn out, but it still stands.
00:28:46Sophia?
00:28:49What's your name?
00:28:50Sophia Reid, sir.
00:28:54Would it really be her?
00:28:56You don't seem familiar.
00:28:59Clear my schedule.
00:29:00I'm getting out tonight.
00:29:10Leo.
00:29:12Is the chairman feeling unwell?
00:29:14Oh, he's fine.
00:29:16Let's just say he'll be all over his wife tonight.
00:29:23A shodan?
00:29:24He works so hard and takes care of everyone.
00:29:27She doesn't know how lucky she is.
00:29:34The watch.
00:29:35Oh.
00:29:38The watch from the hotel, sir.
00:29:40The one you gave your wife.
00:29:42The value's gone up over a million this past year.
00:29:47She kept it all this time.
00:29:50Maybe I judged her too quickly.
00:29:55Is there a flower shop anywhere around?
00:29:58I know just the place, sir.
00:30:00Driver.
00:30:02Take us to Le Dome Aux Blancs, s'il vous plaît.
00:30:12What?
00:30:13They accused you of stealing?
00:30:15You know what?
00:30:16I am going to go find your son right now.
00:30:19It is not right that David lets you get treated this way.
00:30:22Please, Mr. Carter took care of everything.
00:30:24It's fine, okay?
00:30:27Sorry, guys.
00:30:28I got a little congestion.
00:30:29I got to run out to the pharmacy.
00:30:30I'm feeling awful.
00:30:31Kevin, you can't go out in this cold.
00:30:32You're sick.
00:30:33I'll get your medicine, okay?
00:30:34You just go rest.
00:30:36Please.
00:30:37I'm begging you.
00:30:38Just let it go.
00:30:53Should I come with you, sir?
00:30:55I can handle it, Leo.
00:31:30Hi.
00:31:31Is Sophia Reid here?
00:31:33Yeah.
00:31:35Who's asking?
00:31:36Kevin.
00:31:37Honey.
00:31:38Get back inside before your temperature spikes.
00:31:42Who are you supposed to be?
00:31:44So this is my wife?
00:31:46Legally still married and shacking up with some guy?
00:31:49Buddy, I don't know what your deal is,
00:31:52but you clearly need to get your eyes checked.
00:31:55Okay?
00:31:59Okay.
00:32:14What's going on?
00:32:15Was someone just here?
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17Some grumpy old guy who acted like we owed him $500 million.
00:32:21Wait.
00:32:24These are absolutely beautiful tulips.
00:32:26My favorite.
00:32:30Why would someone just leave them there?
00:32:32That's such a waste.
00:32:33No, no kidding.
00:32:34He's crazy.
00:32:37Get my lawyer on the phone.
00:32:39I want divorce papers drawn up immediately.
00:32:41Divorce?
00:32:42Sir, yesterday, every person...
00:32:45Just do it.
00:32:46It's just that, uh...
00:32:48Your daughter, sir.
00:32:51She's expecting to be your wife.
00:32:53I mean, the restaurant's already booked.
00:33:00What?
00:33:02I'm sorry.
00:33:26Are you serene?
00:33:29A moment.
00:33:32These gifts are for the chairman's wife.
00:33:38What do you think?
00:33:40Wow.
00:33:41This could buy a down payment on a house for me.
00:33:45A down payment?
00:33:47Well, according to my calculations,
00:33:49given the current market rates,
00:33:51you could buy the house.
00:33:54As well as an upgrade to boot.
00:33:56What?
00:33:58Miss Rae,
00:34:00all of this is yours
00:34:03if you agree to be my wife.
00:34:11All of this is yours
00:34:14if you agree to be my wife.
00:34:16Mr. Carter, but you're...
00:34:18You're already married.
00:34:19You're happy with your wife.
00:34:22Well, appearances can be deceiving.
00:34:24Well, every couple has their rough patches, right?
00:34:27You should just talk to her.
00:34:29She betrayed me.
00:34:31Mr. Carter,
00:34:32should I even be hearing this?
00:34:34Will I even have my job after this?
00:34:37Yeah, of course.
00:34:40Not only will you have a job,
00:34:43but you'll have all of this as well.
00:34:47See, it's for my daughter.
00:34:50She won't travel abroad
00:34:52unless she feels I'm taking care of it.
00:34:57Alright, I'll...
00:34:58I'll help you,
00:34:59but I'm not doing it for the gifts.
00:35:01I'm doing it because you've been so kind to me in the past.
00:35:10Right this way.
00:35:23After you.
00:35:27I understand meeting your daughter,
00:35:29but shopping?
00:35:31Well, you're the chairman's wife now.
00:35:33You have to look the part.
00:35:38Oh.
00:35:39I'm not going to take this.
00:35:41Get whatever you want.
00:35:42I'll take care of it when I get back.
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:45Okay?
00:35:46Bye.
00:35:47Bye.
00:35:48Bye.
00:35:49Bye.
00:35:50I'll be back.
00:35:51Okay.
00:35:52Okay?
00:36:11Excuse me.
00:36:12This isn't part of your cleaning route.
00:36:20Here, take it.
00:36:23Now, please leave.
00:36:29I'd like to look at some clothes.
00:36:31Oh, would you?
00:36:32It's nice to have dreams,
00:36:34but really, I didn't call for anything to be cleaned.
00:36:37No, no, I'm here to shop.
00:36:39I just came from work.
00:36:41Don't play naive.
00:36:42People like you come in here just to look,
00:36:45and then ending up taking some freebies.
00:36:49That's no way to treat a customer.
00:36:52A customer?
00:36:54Look at yourself.
00:36:55You are wearing a janitor uniform.
00:36:58You don't belong in here.
00:37:00Look at this.
00:37:01This costs more than you make in a month.
00:37:04Now, take your dirty little ass out.
00:37:06The only thing dirty in this store is your attitude.
00:37:15And who do you think you are?
00:37:16I'm somebody that's about to teach you about class,
00:37:18because clearly, you have none.
00:37:21Mr. Carter!
00:37:22We had no idea you were coming.
00:37:24So is this how you train your staff?
00:37:25Embarrassing customers before they come and have a chance to look around?
00:37:28Apologize.
00:37:29Now.
00:37:31But she doesn't look like our usual clientele.
00:37:34Silence.
00:37:35This is Chairman Carter, our VIP.
00:37:38You're fired.
00:37:39But please, it wasn't my fault.
00:37:42Look at her.
00:37:43She's just some poor cleaner.
00:37:44She doesn't have a presence for our clothes.
00:37:47Well, you're the one who can't see.
00:37:49She could wear anything in the store better than any of your regular customers.
00:37:53Bring out your finest items.
00:37:55Everything she wants, it's on my account.
00:37:58Of course, Mr. Carter.
00:37:59Right this way, madame.
00:38:01Mr. Carter, these clothes must cost a fortune.
00:38:04They do.
00:38:06But you deserve it.
00:38:15Perfect.
00:38:17Absolutely stunning, madame.
00:38:27Wow.
00:38:36Mr. Carter, this dress is made for her.
00:38:40Mr. Carter, this dress is made for her.
00:38:45Breathtaking.
00:38:46This is too much. I don't need any-
00:38:48You need to look like the Chairman's wife.
00:38:51We'll take everything.
00:38:53How much?
00:38:54It's irrelevant.
00:38:55We're just getting started.
00:38:57Next, accessories, jewelry, and the full beauty treatment.
00:39:11Your daughter's suicide, right?
00:39:13Yeah.
00:39:14Do you think she'll like me?
00:39:17She's gonna love you.
00:39:19Just like everyone else.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:24Come on.
00:39:28Are you sure about this?
00:39:29I am positive.
00:39:31Absolutely sure.
00:39:32Okay.
00:39:33Okay.
00:39:34Okay.
00:39:36Okay.
00:39:37Okay.
00:39:38Okay.
00:39:39Absolutely sure.
00:39:44I am positive.
00:39:45Absolutely sure.
00:39:49What's wrong?
00:39:52She recognizes me.
00:39:53She knows I'm the chambermaid at your hotel.
00:39:56You're gonna be perfectly fine.
00:39:58Okay?
00:39:59Trust me.
00:40:00Okay?
00:40:01Nothing's gonna fall apart before you.
00:40:04You're the lady that helped me, right?
00:40:06That's right.
00:40:07You're the one my dad married?
00:40:09Yep.
00:40:11Sofia, right?
00:40:12Yes, Sofia.
00:40:13Sofia Reese.
00:40:14This is wonderful.
00:40:15My dad couldn't have found anyone better or kinder than you.
00:40:19I got you a gift.
00:40:20Oh, wow.
00:40:21This looks...
00:40:22Especially for this occasion.
00:40:23This looks too fancy.
00:40:25No, it's...
00:40:26No problem.
00:40:27Are you sure?
00:40:28I...
00:40:29Welcome to the family.
00:40:31Why don't we go to the table?
00:40:32Yeah, yeah.
00:40:33Okay.
00:40:34Go to the table.
00:40:35Cheers.
00:40:39Ethan, would you like to try some of my steak?
00:40:42Uh, no.
00:40:43I don't eat red meat.
00:40:44Oh.
00:40:45It's fine.
00:40:47Would you like to try some of my...
00:40:51shrimp?
00:40:54Oh, uh, no.
00:40:55I can't.
00:40:56I'm allergic to seafood.
00:40:59You two look like you've never eaten together.
00:41:01Are you sure you're even married?
00:41:03Of course.
00:41:04Of course we're married.
00:41:05We're just a little tired.
00:41:06It was a long day.
00:41:10Mmm.
00:41:12Oh, honey, um...
00:41:14You...
00:41:15You got a little...
00:41:22Is that the handkerchief I gave you?
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:25It is.
00:41:26You kept it.
00:41:27I did.
00:41:29Aw, gross.
00:41:31You two are so cute.
00:41:32Together.
00:41:33Together.
00:41:39Oh, um...
00:41:40Sorry, I just have to take this call.
00:41:42I'll be right back.
00:41:48So?
00:41:49So be right back.
00:41:53I gotta take this.
00:41:54I'm sorry.
00:41:56Be right back.
00:42:00Hello?
00:42:01Mrs. Reed?
00:42:02I'm your husband attorney.
00:42:03Do you have time to discuss the term of your divorce?
00:42:06Divorce?
00:42:10Divorce?
00:42:14No, now's not a good time.
00:42:15Um, can we reschedule?
00:42:18Yeah, thanks.
00:42:19She's stalling again?
00:42:20Fine, I'll just handle it myself.
00:42:27Why is he calling now of all times?
00:42:29Hello?
00:42:30I'm done playing games.
00:42:31We have to finalize this divorce once and for all.
00:42:33And stop acting like children.
00:42:35You want a divorce?
00:42:36Fine, let's get a divorce.
00:42:38Friday, 5 p.m.
00:42:39The courthouse.
00:42:40I expect you'll be there.
00:42:43Okay, he just hung up on me.
00:42:45What a jerk.
00:42:55What happened?
00:42:56One phone call and you two look ready to commit murder.
00:43:00Well, it turns out not all men are as kind and thoughtful as your father.
00:43:05Some are completely impossible.
00:43:09Not all women have Sophia's kindness and grace.
00:43:12That's for sure.
00:43:14Should I leave you two together?
00:43:20Should I leave you two together?
00:43:23Alone?
00:43:24Because the air is getting a little thick.
00:43:27Another wine, please.
00:43:30Cheers.
00:43:31Cheers.
00:43:37Thank you for today, I had a lot of fun.
00:43:40I had a lot of fun too.
00:43:42I'll take care of all these gifts, lavish clothing, you know, until Emily leaves.
00:43:47But I didn't do it for the gifts.
00:43:49No, I know.
00:43:51This is me just here.
00:43:57You live here too?
00:43:58Do you know someone else that lives here?
00:44:01Nobody, just someone that I used to know.
00:44:07Alright, well, goodnight.
00:44:14Goodnight.
00:44:27Ms. Carter.
00:44:29That's Sophia Reed's son, David Bennett.
00:44:31He's a supervisor at Hearts Clothing.
00:44:33His father-in-law owns it.
00:44:35Perfect timing.
00:44:36Let's send them an invitation to the industry summit.
00:44:39Let's give them a chance.
00:44:41It'll make Sophia happy, for her sake.
00:44:43Right away, Ms. Carter.
00:44:46This is it?
00:44:47It's for the Carter Group's premiere event.
00:44:50This isn't just any invitation.
00:44:52It's THE invitation that's going to get us into the big leagues.
00:44:55So, we're going to get rich!
00:44:58Although, didn't we sort of insult Chairman Carter?
00:45:04Forget about that.
00:45:05Emily Carter handpicked David.
00:45:09She obviously sees his potential.
00:45:12David, this is our shot.
00:45:14Don't blow it.
00:45:16Trust me, I won't let it slip away.
00:45:20Better not.
00:45:26This arrangement's amazing.
00:45:28I thought it would add some warmth to the event.
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:32Where'd you get them?
00:45:33I actually grew them in my garden.
00:45:37So thoughtful.
00:45:39Mr. Carter, you're a busy man.
00:45:42I should get back to work.
00:45:55I'm sorry.
00:46:14Look at her.
00:46:15Throwing herself at the Chairman.
00:46:17She's playing with fire.
00:46:26I should really get back to work.
00:46:37Listen up!
00:46:38This summit is make or break.
00:46:41Our VIP guest, Mr. Winchester, is European nobility and is obsessed with music.
00:46:47Chairman Carter personally hired Yolanda to perform.
00:46:50One mistake and we're all finished.
00:46:53Sofia!
00:46:58You are on VIP lounge duty.
00:47:00Do not screw this up.
00:47:07What are we waiting for?
00:47:08Move, people, go!
00:47:11Shoot.
00:47:20Sofia!
00:47:22Drop it.
00:47:23Yes, ma'am.
00:47:24Main hall needs help.
00:47:25Let me just pack up my things.
00:47:26VIP lounge is not your main priority right now.
00:47:28Off you go.
00:47:29Go.
00:47:30Undelayed.
00:47:31Very good.
00:47:32Yes.
00:47:51Yes.
00:48:15When did this get here?
00:48:16I just filled this this morning.
00:48:18This is weird.
00:48:19What's happening?
00:48:29Okay, and right this way.
00:48:31This will be the banquet hall for the night.
00:48:33We've got a great show tonight.
00:48:35I'm very excited about it.
00:48:36A great artist.
00:48:38Ship you.
00:48:42It's an emergency.
00:48:43Yolanda's been rushed to the hospital.
00:48:46What happened?
00:48:47I think she's been poisoned.
00:48:49Okay, excuse me.
00:48:50I have to take care of something.
00:48:52I'll be back soon.
00:49:08Remember.
00:49:10Your best behavior in there.
00:49:11Dad.
00:49:13I know how to act.
00:49:19I can't believe someone poisoned the singer.
00:49:22I heard they used cleaning chemicals from Sophia's supplies.
00:49:24Seems kind of suspicious to me.
00:49:30Your mom ruins everything she touches.
00:49:34Listen to me, David.
00:49:36If she cussed us this deal,
00:49:39I swear, we're done.
00:49:45The bottle was clearly labeled.
00:49:46This makes no sense.
00:49:48Are we still making excuses?
00:49:51Somebody could have died.
00:49:54Do you have any idea how much the venue spent on that singer?
00:50:01How much the venue spent on that singer?
00:50:04How are you going to fix this?
00:50:06Are we having a bit of trouble here?
00:50:09Mr. Wichester, let me show you to the lounge first.
00:50:12Did you know this building was built in the 1800s?
00:50:14Even good tech is similar to that.
00:50:17Leo, can we arrange another performance?
00:50:19Sir, we're ten minutes from curtain call.
00:50:21Even if we find someone, we'll never get them here in time.
00:50:25Mr. Carter, let me do it.
00:50:28You?
00:50:29What can you possibly do?
00:50:31I am so tired of being on the hook for your blunders.
00:50:41If she thinks she can do it.
00:50:45I trust her.
00:50:51Stage is yours.
00:50:58If she thinks she can do it.
00:51:02I trust her.
00:51:08Stage is yours.
00:51:15Mom, what are you thinking?
00:51:17This is much bigger than you realize.
00:51:19You can't just wing it.
00:51:21You better not screw this up.
00:51:23Ms. Carter invited us personally.
00:51:25This is our shot.
00:51:27I swear, if you embarrass us, I think I'm going to have a heart attack.
00:51:32You don't have to worry.
00:51:34I used to perform all the time when I was young.
00:51:36Some might even say I missed my calling.
00:51:38Wait, what? You're going to sing?
00:51:40Please.
00:51:41This is a high-end setting.
00:51:43Not some small town community theater.
00:51:46Mom, listen to her.
00:51:48You're going to humiliate yourself and us.
00:51:50You know what?
00:51:54You know what?
00:51:55The chairman believes in me.
00:51:57Why can't my son do the same?
00:51:59No!
00:52:10Your singer must be some kind of a diva.
00:52:12Just a few moments.
00:52:14She'll be starting soon.
00:52:16Time's up. The cleaning lady failed.
00:52:18Surprise!
00:52:20All that work landing this client down the drain.
00:52:25That woman only knows how to screw things up.
00:52:28You've been coming home to a cold house.
00:52:30I've been waking up alone.
00:52:32We keep picking fights and we lash out.
00:52:34But I just want to let it go.
00:52:36But I just want to let it go.
00:52:38But I just want to let it go.
00:52:40But I just want to let it go.
00:52:42But I just want to let it go.
00:52:44But I just want to let it go.
00:52:46But I just want to let it go.
00:52:48But I just want to let it go.
00:52:50But I just want to let it go.
00:52:52But I just want to let it go.
00:52:54But I just want to let it go.
00:52:57missed her car.
00:53:04Magnificent
00:53:07Missed her car?
00:53:09Can that really be so key?
00:53:11She looks immaculate!
00:53:15I love the timbre of her voice.
00:53:17That is the voice of an angel.
00:53:26Yeah, yeah. She cleans up nice, but that doesn't mean that...
00:53:31Just shut up for a moment.
00:53:56So I give you my heart.
00:54:26Leo, my heart, it's racing. Please.
00:54:41I'm sorry.
00:54:51Perhaps we could discuss this further over supper this evening.
00:54:55I know this French place you would not believe.
00:55:00That's very kind of you.
00:55:01Speaking of duty, your performance tonight was outstanding.
00:55:05The company would like to show its appreciation and give you a bonus.
00:55:10Say $200,000.
00:55:13Mr. Carter, are you serious?
00:55:16Completely serious.
00:55:18$200,000? Mr. Carter, you can't be serious.
00:55:22Completely serious.
00:55:24Thank you so much. I'm going to work twice as hard now.
00:55:28I should change out of this into my cleaning clothes.
00:55:30Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:55:41Did you get the security footage?
00:55:43Well, it's just as I suspected, sir.
00:55:46Sandra orchestrated the whole thing.
00:55:51Mr. Carter, please, let me explain.
00:55:54You poisoned someone, you framed a colleague, you're fired.
00:55:57And all the financial damages tonight, you're responsible for.
00:56:01Get her out of here.
00:56:02Yes, boss.
00:56:03My only...
00:56:13Mom, that was incredible. I didn't know you could sing like that.
00:56:17My son, I'm so happy you were here for it.
00:56:19Don't get too excited.
00:56:22Lightning doesn't strike twice.
00:56:24At the end of the day, a cleaning lady with a borrowed dress is still just a cleaning lady.
00:56:33One lucky performance doesn't change who you are.
00:56:36Once this deal closes tonight, we will join the real elite group.
00:56:43Sounds like we should be reconsidering this deal after all.
00:56:48And who the hell are you, exactly?
00:56:51David, are you just going to stand there while they treat your mother like dirt?
00:56:56Listen, you should really be minding your own business, you foolish girl.
00:57:02No wonder. They're so bold, they don't even know who they're insulting.
00:57:07Allow me to enlighten you.
00:57:08This is my stepmother. And yes, defending her is absolutely my business.
00:57:14Oh, this is rich. Playing dress up, claiming a cleaning lady as mommy.
00:57:21How?
00:57:22That's a bad tip.
00:57:32She slapped me!
00:57:34All that noise was giving me a headache.
00:57:36How dare you!
00:57:37How dare you talk to my family this way!
00:57:39And who the hell do you think you are? The Queen of England?
00:57:42Even better. I'm Emily Carter, and this is my company.
00:57:48Carter. As in THE daughter of Ethan Carter?
00:57:53Exactly. Now apologize to my mom.
00:57:58Nice try.
00:58:00I already admit it, that Carter is just her boss.
00:58:03So, your little act ain't fooling nobody.
00:58:08Emily, I really think we should just...
00:58:10It's okay, mom. I understand why you're trying to protect us.
00:58:13But you don't have to do that anymore.
00:58:15And these people aren't worth the effort.
00:58:18These are such ridiculous lies. We are all special guests of Ms. Carter's.
00:58:24So just one word...
00:58:25One word and what?
00:58:26Please do enlighten me.
00:58:28Just wait and see.
00:58:46Lucas, come to the lobby now.
00:58:50On my way.
00:58:52Lucas is Ms. Carter's personal assistant.
00:58:55He will sort this out.
00:58:57And I hope you're ready for what's about to happen.
00:59:00Mom, why don't we take a seat?
00:59:02The real show's about to begin.
00:59:04Hey, you won't be swallowing for long.
00:59:11Seems to be an emergency.
00:59:13This impostor is claiming that she's Emily Carter.
00:59:17Have a cicada.
00:59:21Can I see the invitation?
00:59:22Mom?
00:59:24Yes, of course. It's right here.
00:59:32Ma'am?
00:59:37Consider your invitation revoked.
00:59:40Nobody threatens my mother.
00:59:46The deal.
00:59:47David, do something. Who took your mom?
00:59:49I...
00:59:50You wouldn't mind if I helped you clean up a little, would you?
00:59:54Uh, sure. That would be wonderful.
00:59:57Great.
00:59:58Then let's start by taking out the trash.
01:00:00Please, Ms. Carter. We apologize.
01:00:03Mom, please!
01:00:05He attacked Emily!
01:00:07Don't worry about David.
01:00:09He needs this wake-up call.
01:00:11I'll make sure they go easy on him.
01:00:14Besides, we're family. You've got me now.
01:00:21Emily, you're a good person and I...
01:00:26I feel awful about this. There's something I need to tell you.
01:00:31I'm not actually...
01:00:34I'm not actually your father's wife. We're not married.
01:00:40I'm not actually your father's wife. We're not married.
01:00:44And the truth is, he asked me to pretend to be his wife
01:00:49so that you would feel better about going off to Europe.
01:00:53I, um, I actually have a husband.
01:01:00I'm not actually your father's wife. We're not married.
01:01:04And the truth is, he asked me to pretend to be his wife
01:01:09so that you would feel better about going off to Europe.
01:01:14No way. I don't believe it.
01:01:17The way Dad looks at you.
01:01:20Like, if you're the most important person in the world.
01:01:24Well, your dad needs glasses. He can't see me.
01:01:28And the way you look at him. It's not that subtle either.
01:01:32I'm blind as a bat. I mean, is your father handsome? I wouldn't even know.
01:01:37Very funny.
01:01:40Okay. Prove it. Call your real husband right now.
01:01:47Okay. I'll do that. Just give me a minute. I'll be right back.
01:01:52Okay.
01:02:04Hi Lucy. Hey Sophia. Everything okay?
01:02:07I need to ask you a favor. I need to borrow your husband for a little performance.
01:02:11Right now? Yes. Right away.
01:02:15Thanks.
01:02:18Sophia. Hi. May I give you a ride?
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:25Come on.
01:02:30I should go. It's been so long.
01:02:39She really is married.
01:02:43Daddy? You lied to me?
01:02:46Get in the car.
01:02:53So it was all for Tim? You don't have any feelings for her?
01:02:57Who said anything about feelings?
01:02:59Well, you looked ready to murder her husband.
01:03:02Because he just seems so inadequate. That he can't even do ten push-ups.
01:03:08I'd bet on that too. But Dad, he's her husband, not her bodyguard.
01:03:13In that car? I mean, come on. A minivan? Can he do better than that?
01:03:20Oh. I see. You're just trying to sweep in and save her yourself.
01:03:24Exactly. No. That's not what I meant.
01:03:30Dad. I understand this is a ploy to trick me, but...
01:03:35Don't mess with her marriage just because you refuse to get married.
01:03:41You're right. You're right. You're right.
01:03:46You're right. You're right. You're always right.
01:03:50What is wrong with me?
01:03:53No doctor in the world can answer that one, Dad.
01:03:56Don't push it.
01:03:59Don't push it.
01:04:09Hey, so what are you looking for?
01:04:11Oh, hey there.
01:04:13Le Maison. Forty percent off. It's the least I could do. It's really good. You should try it.
01:04:17Le Maison? Fancy. What's a special occasion?
01:04:22I owe you. You let me borrow your husband earlier. Plus, it's your wedding anniversary tomorrow.
01:04:28We don't celebrate anymore. We should all go together.
01:04:32I can't. I have to finalize my divorce tomorrow. And I can't even find the marriage certificate.
01:04:37Your marriage is so weird. Two meetings. One to get hitched and one to split up.
01:04:44It's for the best. There were never any real feelings involved.
01:04:48Well, thank you for these.
01:04:50No problem.
01:04:53Five p.m., he said. So much for that.
01:05:01Can we go any faster, please?
01:05:04We're almost there, sir.
01:05:11Dad, that's Sophia's husband with another woman. He's cheating on her.
01:05:16Okay, change of plans. Take me to Le Maison.
01:05:21Yes, sir.
01:05:29What? Now you want to reschedule?
01:05:33All right.
01:05:46It's beautiful.
01:05:58You. Yeah, you.
01:06:09What dare you cheat on Sophia?
01:06:11Sophia? She knows I'm here. She recommended this place.
01:06:13She knows?
01:06:14She won. She won.
01:06:16What are you talking about? We're family. I'm close with both sisters.
01:06:20Both sisters?
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:27She deserves better than you.
01:06:36Oh, my God. Kevin, what happened?
01:06:39I don't know.
01:06:41Hey, tall boy, pick on someone your own size.
01:06:45Are you okay?
01:06:49Dad, we're bleeding money. The factory's going down. Do something.
01:06:53Really, Melissa? This is your mess.
01:06:56You just had to antagonize your mother-in-law and the entire Carter family, didn't you?
01:07:01What? How are you pinning everything on me? If you hadn't...
01:07:05Maybe this isn't such a disaster after all.
01:07:07Just wait, wait, wait. You two, listen. Think about this.
01:07:11We are now connected to the Carters by marriage.
01:07:14Once word gets out...
01:07:21Every bank in town will be throwing money at us.
01:07:25Exactly.
01:07:27And a little birdie told me that it's the cleaning lady's birthday soon.
01:07:32We are going to throw her a party and invite the chairman.
01:07:38But why will she come? She hates us.
01:07:41Because we have something she can't resist.
01:07:44What are you talking about?
01:07:46Oh, God, you two.
01:07:48Her precious grandson, Henry.
01:07:50Hello?
01:07:51Mom, it's Henry. He called. He's not home.
01:07:56Mom, he called you too?
01:07:58David, what's going on?
01:08:00I don't know. Let's go find out.
01:08:03Okay.
01:08:04Mom, it's Henry. He called. He's not home.
01:08:07Mom, he called you too?
01:08:09David, what's going on?
01:08:10I don't know. Let's go find out.
01:08:13Okay.
01:08:23Surprise!
01:08:24Happy birthday, Mom.
01:08:27What's going on? Where's my grandson? Is Henry sick or not?
01:08:32No, he's fine. We just wanted to surprise you.
01:08:37Mrs. Carter, let me introduce some colleagues.
01:08:40Mr. Brown, Mr. Collins, this is Ethan Carter's new wife.
01:08:44Alicia, Mrs. Carter, it's an honor.
01:08:47This is not... There's been some sort of mistake. I'm not who you think I am.
01:08:50No need to be modest. We all know how the Carters dote on you, don't we?
01:08:56If Henry's not sick, I should be going.
01:08:59Mom, it's your special day. We have to celebrate.
01:09:06You know what? You should move in with us. We'll take such good care of you.
01:09:10We'll finally be a big, happy family.
01:09:14Please, let go of me.
01:09:16No. Not until you say yes.
01:09:30Happy birthday!
01:09:33Perfect. One question, though. Where's your husband?
01:09:37Surely Mr. Carter's coming to celebrate.
01:09:43Stop staring at it and go. You know the hearts, they're vultures. They'll eat her alive.
01:09:49You told me we shouldn't meddle in other people's lives.
01:09:51That was before. Her husband is off celebrating with someone else.
01:09:55This isn't meddling, it's rescuing.
01:10:04Mr. Carter won't be joining us today. Nonsense.
01:10:07What kind of husband misses his wife's birthday? Call him.
01:10:12Now.
01:10:14He's not coming. Because he's not really her husband.
01:10:20What are you talking about?
01:10:23What are you talking about?
01:10:25She's a fraud. I heard everything. Carter only pretended to marry her to get his daughter to study abroad.
01:10:34It was fake. They played us for fools.
01:10:37You lied to us?
01:10:39I told you repeatedly I was in his wife. You wouldn't listen.
01:10:45Of course.
01:10:53Fine.
01:10:54Sophia Reed, are you trying to humiliate me in front of everyone?
01:11:00Get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness.
01:11:04Or else, I'm divorcing your son.
01:11:08Then divorce me.
01:11:10What did you just say?
01:11:12You said divorce me.
01:11:14I did not.
01:11:16Are you crazy? She's nothing. She's a janitor.
01:11:21I understand where we're going under.
01:11:23But we're still worth millions of dollars.
01:11:26Without me, you're nobody.
01:11:29That's what I've been saying to myself.
01:11:31I don't need you to be somebody.
01:11:34And I don't need to watch you abuse my mother to stay successful.
01:11:39She doesn't realize that.
01:11:41That's what it means to be a human being. Just to climb the social ladder.
01:11:45David.
01:11:46Mom.
01:11:47You gave me everything.
01:11:49What did they give you?
01:11:51You one time handmade Melissa a blanket because she mentioned it once that she liked it more.
01:11:57Or you took care of her mom in the hospital like she was your own blood.
01:12:00She did that because she is poor.
01:12:06Manual labor is all she has to offer.
01:12:09That's not labor. It's love.
01:12:11She gave you everything and you gave her nothing.
01:12:15I'll never let you treat her like that again.
01:12:17It's my mother.
01:12:20Mom, when I was dying, you took me to every hospital.
01:12:24Even though they said I couldn't be healed until you found a cure.
01:12:27You worked to the bone to get me through college.
01:12:29When I got married, you sold the house.
01:12:33And then when you should have retired, you went to the city and cleaned floors for strangers.
01:12:40David, don't blame yourself.
01:12:44It was my fault.
01:12:45I wanted to give you more. I wanted to give you everything.
01:12:48Mom, you gave me everything.
01:12:52I will never let anyone treat you like this again.
01:12:55Yeah, yeah. Have your touching moments.
01:12:59David, once you divorce me, you'll never work in this industry again.
01:13:05Then fire me, Melissa. I don't care.
01:13:11Then fire me, Melissa. I don't care.
01:13:14I'm a hard worker. I can take care of my mother and myself.
01:13:21Anything is that easy and that simple.
01:13:25Why did you think I made you sign all those contracts?
01:13:29So I can put you in jail whenever I want to and whenever you leave me.
01:13:34You can't do this. Please, don't hurt my son.
01:13:37And what exactly can a cleaning lady do to stop me?
01:13:41What power do you have here?
01:13:43I'll do anything. Please, just leave him alone.
01:13:46Mom, no. No. I'd rather go to prison and watch you beg to these people.
01:13:58Now it's time for you to finally learn your place once and for all.
01:14:13Are you okay?
01:14:20What are you, monsters? You should be begging her for forgiveness.
01:14:23Mr. Carter actually showed up.
01:14:25They're so finished.
01:14:27Mr. Carter, we understand now. Sophia isn't actually your wife.
01:14:33You're right. She isn't my wife.
01:14:38She's my soulmate.
01:14:41And you think you can treat her like this without any repercussions?
01:14:45This is clearly a family matter.
01:14:48We should probably go.
01:14:51Mr. Carter, please. We can make this right.
01:14:55Did they do this to you?
01:14:57It's nothing.
01:15:00Leo?
01:15:04Why don't you heat up this pot of coffee and return the favor?
01:15:11No, no, no. Oh, my God.
01:15:14No, please.
01:15:15I don't have the strength.
01:15:17Well, you're lucky she's a kind woman.
01:15:19Put the word out.
01:15:21No one in my company will do business with the Harts. Ever!
01:15:35Um, I think I'm just gonna go.
01:15:39I'll contact you later, Mom.
01:15:41David, you're leaving after everything you just said about seeing?
01:15:48Um, I'll leave you two to it.
01:15:51Okay.
01:15:55Ethan, I can't thank you enough for what you did for me back in there.
01:16:02I meant everything I said. Every single word.
01:16:07My first wife, she passed away a long time ago.
01:16:13And since then, it's just been Emily and I.
01:16:18But that marriage a year ago was just to give Emily peace of mind so she would go back to school.
01:16:26That first marriage, it wasn't real.
01:16:31And I've already filed for divorce.
01:16:36Listen, Sophia.
01:16:40I'm not the kind of person who plays with people's hearts.
01:16:43What I feel for you is real.
01:16:46I want us to bow to life together.
01:16:48I just want to be completely open and honest with you.
01:16:53A year ago, I had heart surgery.
01:16:56And, Leo, we've...
01:17:01Here are all my financial information. Everything you need to know about me.
01:17:06I guess the question now is, do you feel the same?
01:17:09No, Ethan. I...
01:17:12I just need more time. I still have some things I need to sort out.
01:17:31I'm sorry.
01:17:35Get your hands off my wife!
01:17:36Using your authority? Threatening employees?
01:17:38I'm not leadership of the Towers. You're fired.
01:17:42What's your name?
01:17:47I trust you.
01:17:49This stage is yours.
01:17:52I feel sorry.
01:17:53I've done everything I said.
01:17:55Every single word.
01:18:01Wow.
01:18:17I'm here.
01:18:18Excuse me.
01:18:20I'm wearing a blue dress with white stripes.
01:18:23Where are you?
01:18:24I'm wearing a grey and blue suit with brown shoes.
01:18:28Where are you?
01:18:42It's you.
01:18:44It can't be you.
01:18:51It can't be you.
01:18:54Oh my god. I can't believe this.
01:18:57I can't either.
01:18:58If I would have known the woman I married was the same woman I fell in love with,
01:19:02I would have never let you go.
01:19:04This is crazy.
01:19:06No more misunderstandings, okay?
01:19:09Just us. Together.
01:19:11Okay.
01:19:12Good for you?
01:19:13Yeah.
01:19:14Yeah?
01:19:15Oh, Ethan. I thought I was coming here ending a marriage of convenience.
01:19:19But I've spent weeks just watching you,
01:19:22seeing how kind you are to everyone,
01:19:25and how much you love your daughter.
01:19:28It turns out I'm the luckiest woman in the whole world.
01:19:35Are you sure you can deal with me being a little egotistical and narcissistic?
01:19:40Yes, of course.
01:19:41They love birds.
01:19:42Some of us are actually trying to get divorced.
01:19:44Who wants to see a bird?
01:19:46Some of us are actually trying to get divorced.
01:19:48Who wants to see all this?
01:19:52Well, we have a change of plans.
01:19:55We're going to renew our marriage certificate instead.
01:19:59Yes, I think.
01:20:00Let's go.
01:20:05Let's go.
01:20:12It's official.
01:20:13Yeah.
01:20:17Sophia!
01:20:22What the heck is going on?
01:20:24You were going to get divorced. Who is this?
01:20:26It's a long story, but it turns out the guy I wanted to marry is the guy I wanted to divorce.
01:20:33And so I don't have to get divorced because the divorce is off.
01:20:38I just want to marry him.
01:20:43I know you.
01:20:45Yeah, he's my boss.
01:20:47And my husband, Ethan Carter.
01:20:51Have you two met?
01:20:54Lucy!
01:20:55He's the one!
01:20:56He's the guy who beat me up at the restaurant!
01:20:58What?
01:20:59Excuse me?
01:21:01Kevin, I am so sorry.
01:21:04It was a huge misunderstanding.
01:21:07I apologize.
01:21:09Apologize?
01:21:10You apologize?
01:21:12But you think that's enough?
01:21:14You can't go around just punching whoever you want, Mr. Big Shot CEO.
01:21:19You're absolutely right.
01:21:21And I want to make it up to you.
01:21:23Up to you both.
01:21:26So when Sophia and I move in together, I'm buying the villa next door.
01:21:32I'm buying the villa next door.
01:21:34For you.
01:21:37Wow.
01:21:38Wow.
01:21:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:21:41That's...
01:21:42I knew I liked this one from the start.
01:21:45He is a keeper.
01:21:48You know what?
01:21:49Don't even worry about my husband.
01:21:51He is a tough guy.
01:21:55Well, welcome to the family!
01:22:00Come on up!
01:22:01Come on!
01:22:02You're in.
01:22:03We have tuna salad.
01:22:05Do you like tuna salad?
01:22:06Sure.
01:22:07I make a mean egg salad, too.
01:22:09I make potato salad.
01:22:10Do you like that?
01:22:11I mean, you're a tall guy.
01:22:12You need a lot of food.
01:22:13He's such a big boy.
