00:00:00KILLED our daughter!

00:00:02Mommy!

00:00:03We've been married for seven years. You know we didn't do this.

00:00:06You drugged me.

00:00:07You have to believe me, I didn't do this.

00:00:09We broke her heart, mocked her, and then sent her straight to jail!

00:00:14It's time for Ethan to find out who I really am.

00:00:17I'm a better woman for him.

00:00:18Not you.

00:00:19Mommy!

00:00:20I'm going to take back my daughter.

00:00:22You were my best friend, bitch!

00:00:25And I'm going to take back my name.

00:00:27It's time they met the one and only Carrington heiress.

00:00:32Who is this secret heiress that gave up this family fortune for seven years?

00:00:37Open your eyes and see exactly who I am.

00:00:40Nicole, you were born a queen.

00:00:43And queens never cry.

00:00:57Mom?

00:00:59Mommy?

00:01:00Mommy?

00:01:01Mommy?

00:01:03Mommy?

00:01:04Mommy!

00:01:07Improve your house to be like evil, you're mine.

00:01:10Drink up, bitch.

00:01:13Oh, Nicole.

00:01:16Always the perfect mother.

00:01:18Now you're just a drink-up.

00:01:20Come on.

00:01:21Always the perfect mother.

00:01:22You're my mother.

00:01:23All you want the dare to be with them.

00:01:24Come on.

00:01:26Now you're just a drunk bitch.

00:01:27Sorry, bestie.

00:01:29Your man's about to get the biggest deal of his life.

00:01:32So now I want him.

00:01:34You left his kid to roast in a car.

00:01:37I wonder what Ethan will think.

00:01:39Ethan?

00:01:40Oh my God.

00:01:41You have to come home right away.

00:01:43Nicole is drunk and she locked Grace in the car

00:01:46and I can't find the key anywhere.

00:01:51No.

00:01:52No.

00:01:56Next night,

00:02:06if you didn't break the car window in time,

00:02:08Grace could have died.

00:02:11Sorry you got hurt.

00:02:13It doesn't matter.

00:02:14As long as Gracie's okay.

00:02:17I still have use of this little brat,

00:02:20but once I become her stepmother,

00:02:22I'll get rid of her.

00:02:24Gracie.

00:02:26Gracie, oh my God.

00:02:27Hey, Mom, he's here.

00:02:28Mom, he's here.

00:02:31How dare you have the fucking audacity

00:02:35to show up here, Nicole.

00:02:37You almost killed our daughter.

00:02:40What?

00:02:41You forgot our daughter in this fucking heat

00:02:44while you were passed out on the couch drunk.

00:02:47No.

00:02:50I didn't.

00:02:51We've been married for seven years.

00:02:53You know that I barely drink.

00:02:54I didn't.

00:02:55No, I went to the grocery store with Grace

00:02:58and then we came home and I mean...

00:03:02It was you.

00:03:05You drugged me.

00:03:07That glass of water that you gave me,

00:03:08that's the last thing I remember.

00:03:09Why would you do that?

00:03:10Nicole,

00:03:11I'm your best friend.

00:03:13I just...

00:03:14I just came by to bring you some documents.

00:03:16That's when I saw Nicole on the couch.

00:03:19I'm crazy in the car.

00:03:21I couldn't find the keys anywhere.

00:03:22I just broke the window.

00:03:24I was to do...

00:03:24You get off of my husband!

00:03:28You're lying.

00:03:29You're a liar.

00:03:31You can see that I'm being set up right now, right?

00:03:34You're right.

00:03:37You're my husband.

00:03:39Why are you believing her over me?

00:03:42Enough.

00:03:43I can smell the alcohol in your breath.

00:03:45Why would Elaine want to frame you?

00:03:47What does she have to gain from this?

00:03:53See?

00:03:54You have nothing to say.

00:03:56Please, Ethan.

00:03:58I love Gracie with my whole heart,

00:04:01with everything that I have.

00:04:02You know me.

00:04:03I would never do something like that.

00:04:05Gracie, I love you, baby.

00:04:07I only believe what I see.

00:04:13I already called the cops, Nicole.

00:04:15I want you to repent in jail

00:04:16and learn your lesson.

00:04:18What you did

00:04:19is not only a crime,

00:04:22but also unforgivable

00:04:23as a mother.

00:04:27You're sending me to jail right now?

00:04:29Away?

00:04:30Away from you and Gracie?

00:04:32Let's go.

00:04:33No.

00:04:34No, you have to listen to me.

00:04:35You have to believe me.

00:04:36I didn't do this.

00:04:36Gracie, baby, I'm right.

00:04:38Gracie, baby.

00:04:41Ethan.

00:04:42Nope.

00:04:47I gave up everything to be with you, Ethan.

00:04:55Was my dad right?

00:04:56Was this

00:04:58was us

00:05:00just a big mistake?

00:05:04It's been a long day.

00:05:05Here, drink this.

00:05:07It'll help you sleep.

00:05:09I'm gonna check on Gracie

00:05:10and then I'll head home.

00:05:11Thanks, Elaine.

00:05:12I don't know what I'd do without you.

00:05:14Hey, you're my boss.

00:05:15Anything for you.

00:05:16Don't sell yourself short.

00:05:18You know me more like family.

00:05:19I don't know what I'm doing.

00:05:26Wait.

00:05:30No, there's no.

00:05:31No, no, no.

00:05:33I'm innocent.

00:05:34I swear.

00:05:35Save it for the judge.

00:05:36Mm-hmm.

00:05:41I stopped talking to my own father

00:05:45because of Ethan.

00:05:46The man who put me behind bars.

00:05:49What should I do?

00:05:55Good afternoon, Miss Erica.

00:05:59Yeah.

00:06:00What?

00:06:02My daughter's in jail?

00:06:04Sarah, get me Damon Hawthorne.

00:06:06He's the best lawyer in L.A.

00:06:07And find out what jail she's in.

00:06:09Now.

00:06:15Mr. Hawthorne,

00:06:21I'm Sarah Sandoval,

00:06:22executive assistant to Max Carrington.

00:06:25It seems Nicole has found her way into prison

00:06:26by way of Mr. Ethan Carter.

00:06:28Had I known your husband was a prick, Nicole,

00:06:30I never would have let you go.

00:06:32Do you think he can help us bring her home?

00:06:35I'm on it.

00:06:41Ethan?

00:06:42Go touch him.

00:06:43Sit your ass down.

00:06:45Ethan.

00:06:49Will you please just pay my bail?

00:06:51Let me go home to Gracie, okay?

00:06:54And come on, you've had time to think about this.

00:06:55You know I didn't do this.

00:06:56What I know, Nicole,

00:06:58is that our daughter almost died

00:07:01because you were passed out on the couch drunk.

00:07:06Tell me how else it happened, huh?

00:07:09Blame.

00:07:10She drugged and she framed me.

00:07:12Stop blaming Elaine.

00:07:17She has been nothing but kind to you

00:07:18all these years.

00:07:20While she and I were slaving away at work,

00:07:22you've been living as this picture-perfect

00:07:24Beverly Hills housewife.

00:07:25You had one job.

00:07:26Take care, Gracie.

00:07:27And you couldn't even do that right.

00:07:29Wow.

00:07:30That's really what you think of me?

00:07:32I don't know.

00:07:36Nicole, I just want to...

00:07:37Why does you bring her in here?

00:07:38I don't know.

00:07:39I don't know.

00:07:40Nicole, I'm really worried about you.

00:07:49Ethan and I both have.

00:07:52I should have known you were a homewrecker.

00:07:55What?

00:07:56I would never do that.

00:07:58Nicole, what did I ever do

00:08:00to make you hate me this much?

00:08:03What happened to you, Nicole?

00:08:04You used to be so kind.

00:08:07So gentle.

00:08:08This past year, you've changed.

00:08:13You have no idea what kind of sacrifices I've made for you.

00:08:18It's Carrington Enterprise.

00:08:20I have to take this.

00:08:23Carrington Enterprise?

00:08:24That's my family's business.

00:08:26Why are they calling Ethan?

00:08:27I fucked your husband last night.

00:08:33Just thought you should know.

00:08:35And you know what Ethan said?

00:08:38He said I was the best he's ever had.

00:08:42You know, I'm a better woman for him.

00:08:45Not you.

00:08:49You took my husband and my daughter from me!

00:08:53You were my best friend, bitch!

00:09:03Here.

00:09:04Drink this.

00:09:05It'll help you sleep.

00:09:11Wait.

00:09:12Do you think

00:09:13I was too harsh

00:09:14on Nicole,

00:09:16the senator to jail?

00:09:16I think

00:09:20we should let the court decide.

00:09:23I love Nicole.

00:09:25But what she did

00:09:26was a crime.

00:09:27Nicole has no money.

00:09:29She can't even afford

00:09:30an attorney.

00:09:33Maybe I should

00:09:34pay her bail

00:09:36and

00:09:37drop the case.

00:09:40I knew this was going to happen.

00:09:43That's why there's always

00:09:44a plan B.

00:09:44Okay.

00:09:46Troy Paul.

00:10:00My jerk.

00:10:07Ward's office.

00:10:20Help.

00:10:21Help.

00:10:23stop it!

00:10:32Neither don't.

00:10:33Let the guards

00:10:34deal with her.

00:10:35Nicole,

00:10:36have you lost

00:10:36your damn mind?

00:10:38Yeah.

00:10:38Yeah,

00:10:40I lost my mind.

00:10:42I married you.

00:10:44The biggest mistake

00:10:45of my life.

00:10:46That's it.

00:11:18said?

00:11:19I'm sorry, boss.

00:11:21I'm sorry, ma'am.

00:11:22Sorry?

00:11:23Why are you

00:11:40the fuck out of my jail.

00:11:41What is happening?

00:11:43Who is this guy?

00:11:44What?

00:11:45Showing your true colors?

00:11:46I mean...

00:11:48No, I just...

00:11:50I want to make sure

00:11:52everyone's following

00:11:52procedure.

00:11:53Or else it would

00:11:54hurt you more otherwise.

00:11:55Drop the act.

00:11:57Aren't you tired

00:11:57of pretending yet?

00:11:59Whoa, step away

00:12:01from my client.

00:12:02She's my wife!

00:12:04You lost that privilege

00:12:05the moment you called

00:12:05the cops on her.

00:12:07Now you're the plaintiff

00:12:08and she's the defendant.

00:12:09And I said,

00:12:10step the fuck

00:12:12away from my client.

00:12:16Nicole,

00:12:17can I please talk to you

00:12:18in private, please?

00:12:20You know what?

00:12:21I'm exercising

00:12:22attorney-client privilege.

00:12:23The only person

00:12:24speaking to Nicole

00:12:25privately

00:12:25is me.

00:12:26Okay.

00:12:29What are you doing

00:12:33here, Damon?

00:12:36How'd you even

00:12:36find out I was

00:12:37in jail?

00:12:38Your father called me.

00:12:43I...

00:12:43I thought he hated me.

00:12:47I broke his heart.

00:12:49Damon,

00:12:49I shouldn't have done that.

00:12:50I regret that.

00:12:51Nicole,

00:12:51you are his daughter.

00:12:53He could never

00:12:53not love you.

00:12:55He's waiting for you.

00:12:56He asked me

00:12:57to bring you home.

00:13:02Please don't cry.

00:13:04I can't stand

00:13:05to see you cry.

00:13:08I don't know

00:13:09how I'm gonna face him

00:13:10again.

00:13:11Damon,

00:13:11I can't.

00:13:12You can.

00:13:13No, I can't.

00:13:13You can,

00:13:14and you will.

00:13:16You were born

00:13:17a queen,

00:13:18Nicole.

00:13:19It's time to take

00:13:20back what's yours.

00:13:24You're right.

00:13:25I can't.

00:13:27You're right.

00:13:32And queens never

00:13:33cry.

00:13:35This marriage

00:13:36was the biggest

00:13:37mistake of my life.

00:13:40I'm going to

00:13:40take back my daughter.

00:13:42I'm going to

00:13:43take back my name.

00:13:44It's time for Ethan

00:13:45to find out

00:13:46who I really am.

00:13:50I'm going to

00:13:57who are these people?

00:14:20What is happening?

00:14:22How is she getting out

00:14:23so soon?

00:14:24How could she even

00:14:25afford all of this?

00:14:34I want a divorce.

00:14:36You what?

00:14:36And I want

00:14:37sole custody

00:14:37of my daughter.

00:14:39She deserves

00:14:40better than you.

00:14:41You have no job,

00:14:42no money.

00:14:43Without me,

00:14:44you have nothing.

00:14:45You think you're

00:14:45going to win

00:14:46just because you

00:14:46are yourself

00:14:46some fancy attorney

00:14:47with my money?

00:14:48You really are

00:14:51my biggest mistake.

00:14:55I'm the snake.

00:14:56I'm the snake.

00:15:18Nicole.

00:15:31My baby girl.

00:15:33Oh, no.

00:15:38You're home now.

00:15:39That's all that matters.

00:15:42I'm so sorry.

00:15:44I shouldn't have

00:15:45told you to go.

00:15:45No, no, no.

00:15:47You were right

00:15:47about Ethan's death.

00:15:49I should never

00:15:49have left you for him.

00:15:50I'm sorry.

00:15:52Ethan Carter.

00:15:54I knew he was trouble.

00:15:56To mend our differences,

00:15:57I was already

00:15:57drafted a $10 billion

00:15:59investment

00:15:59into his company.

00:16:01And then

00:16:02I heard he

00:16:03sent you to prison.

00:16:06Is that why

00:16:06you called him

00:16:07earlier tonight?

00:16:08It's Charington Enterprise.

00:16:10I have to take this.

00:16:11This is unforgivable.

00:16:13Sarah,

00:16:15cancel that contract

00:16:16immediately.

00:16:17Yes, Mr. Carrington.

00:16:18Dad,

00:16:19I got this.

00:16:21I just need to

00:16:22cut ties with Ethan.

00:16:24And I have to

00:16:25get Grace back.

00:16:26Nicole's right,

00:16:27Mr. Carrington.

00:16:28I'll go with her.

00:16:30And I won't let her

00:16:31get hurt.

00:16:31I'll go with her.

00:16:33I'll go with her.

00:16:41I'm basically

00:16:42the lady of this house now.

00:16:44And I will be soon.

00:16:47And Ethan,

00:16:48he'll be my husband.

00:16:52Excellent.

00:16:53I don't know

00:16:54what I would have done

00:16:54with Grace's birthday party

00:16:55if you weren't here.

00:16:57Nicole could never

00:16:57pull this off.

00:16:59She couldn't even

00:17:00take good care

00:17:00of our daughter.

00:17:01Lupe,

00:17:02it's your birthday today.

00:17:03Let's go find Mommy.

00:17:04By the way,

00:17:05do you know

00:17:05where Grace is?

00:17:06She's just in her room.

00:17:07I'll go check on her.

00:17:08Come on.

00:17:11Did I hear you say Mommy?

00:17:17Your Mommy

00:17:18is a criminal

00:17:19and you'll never

00:17:21see her.

00:17:21My Mommy

00:17:22is a good person.

00:17:23I'm taking Lupe

00:17:24to find Mommy.

00:17:25I want Mommy here,

00:17:31my house

00:17:32and I'm going to be

00:17:33your new Mommy.

00:17:34No,

00:17:35You little bastard.

00:17:37What's the name

00:17:39of your toy?

00:17:40Lupe?

00:17:42No, Lupe!

00:17:45Now,

00:17:45you stay right here

00:17:47or every toy

00:17:48of yours

00:18:21It's so pretty.

00:18:24Ethan,

00:18:24what's the matter?

00:18:26Where's Grace?

00:18:27Oh,

00:18:27I told you

00:18:28she's in her room.

00:18:28I checked on her.

00:18:30You two are a better match.

00:18:32Elaine is a career woman

00:18:32but also takes

00:18:33great care of Grace.

00:18:35Ethan,

00:18:36you should consider

00:18:36making Elaine

00:18:37Grace's new Mommy.

00:18:39Elaine and I

00:18:40just work together.

00:18:41There's nothing

00:18:41between us.

00:18:44Hello, dear.

00:18:45Oh, hi.

00:18:47Ethan,

00:18:47this is my mom.

00:18:49You know,

00:18:49her boyfriend

00:18:50is the chief

00:18:51investing director

00:18:52at the Carrington Group.

00:18:53Mr. Owen wrote.

00:18:54Wait,

00:18:55so the $10 billion

00:18:56contract

00:18:57you owe to Carrington's?

00:18:57Yes.

00:18:58Elaine urged me

00:18:59to pull some strings

00:19:00with Owen.

00:19:02She did that all

00:19:03for you.

00:19:04The Carrington's

00:19:05had decided

00:19:05to invest in Ethan

00:19:07even before

00:19:07my mom got together

00:19:08with that man.

00:19:10But that's not important.

00:19:11I'll do whatever

00:19:12it takes

00:19:12to make you mine,

00:19:13Ethan.

00:19:14Excuse me.

00:19:27nerd to show

00:20:51You know she can't

00:20:52so, do you have

00:20:53any idea

00:20:54how scared she was?

00:20:55I...

00:20:56I'm so sorry.

00:20:58I have no idea

00:20:58how Grace ended up

00:20:59in the pool.

00:21:00She promised

00:21:00she'd stay in her room.

00:21:02Oh my...

00:21:02Nicole!

00:21:04What are you doing?

00:21:05You put my daughter

00:21:06in danger

00:21:08That is not okay!

00:21:09What?

00:21:10Why is she

00:21:11accusing me like this?

00:21:12You need to stop

00:21:13the act.

00:21:14Elaine is making me

00:21:15sick.

00:21:15I'm gonna throw up

00:21:16right now.

00:21:20I'm taking Grace

00:21:21with me today.

00:21:22You're crazy!

00:21:23She's my daughter, too.

00:21:24One more step

00:21:25and I'm gonna call

00:21:26the police

00:21:26and they're gonna send

00:21:27your wet ass

00:21:28back to jail.

00:21:28I'd like to see you

00:21:31try.

00:21:33Ethan Carter!

00:21:41What the hell is this?

00:21:47Divorce papers.

00:21:48Sign it.

00:21:50Also, I am getting

00:21:51full custody of Grace.

00:21:52What?

00:21:54I'm not getting a divorce.

00:21:55Mr. Carter,

00:21:56my client has made

00:21:57her decision.

00:21:57We're informing you

00:21:58of it.

00:21:59Not discussing.

00:22:01I have nothing else

00:22:02to say to you.

00:22:04Don't sign the papers.

00:22:05Fine, we'll take it

00:22:05to court.

00:22:06But I am taking Grace

00:22:07with me right now.

00:22:07I let you leech

00:22:09on to me

00:22:10for seven years!

00:22:12What have you done

00:22:13for me all these years?

00:22:14Who are you

00:22:15to leave me?

00:22:17And who are you

00:22:18to take my daughter

00:22:18away from me?

00:22:20Seven years

00:22:21of marriage

00:22:22and that's seriously

00:22:23what you think of me?

00:22:24Tell me.

00:22:25Am I wrong?

00:22:26Even Elaine,

00:22:27my assistant,

00:22:28did more for this family

00:22:29than you ever did.

00:22:31She helped me

00:22:32secure

00:22:32the billion dollar

00:22:33contract with the

00:22:34Carrington's.

00:22:35Wow.

00:22:35Wow, I really cannot

00:22:37wait for you

00:22:37to understand this.

00:22:39Everything that you

00:22:40have right now,

00:22:40all of it,

00:22:42I gave it to you.

00:22:46I gave it to you.

00:22:49You!

00:22:50You gave me

00:22:51everything I have!

00:22:53How?

00:22:54By cooking?

00:22:56By doing my laundry?

00:22:59By taking care of Grace?

00:23:01I can easily

00:23:02throw some money

00:23:03at service

00:23:04to do all of that

00:23:05for me.

00:23:06I put a roof

00:23:06over your head.

00:23:07What else

00:23:08do you want

00:23:09from me?

00:23:11Stop insulting Nicole

00:23:12or you'll regret it.

00:23:14How dare you hit me?

00:23:21Very well, Nicole.

00:23:22You're leaving me, huh?

00:23:23Spending all my money

00:23:24on some hot shot

00:23:25lawyer against me.

00:23:28Divorcing me?

00:23:29I'll sign it.

00:23:31I can't wait

00:23:32to see what your life

00:23:33looks like without me.

00:23:34soon,

00:23:35I'll have the

00:23:36Carrington contract

00:23:37and you

00:23:38will have nothing.

00:23:44Nicole,

00:23:44you could wash

00:23:46all the dishes,

00:23:47scrub all the toilets

00:23:48for the rest of your life

00:23:50and you won't even

00:23:50make a crumb

00:23:51of what Ethan's

00:23:53going to make.

00:23:54Are you going to have

00:23:54Grace live in the ghetto

00:23:56with you?

00:23:56She's just a kid.

00:23:57Okay, it's just a

00:23:58$10 billion contract.

00:23:59You can stop gloating.

00:24:00Besides, you're not

00:24:01going to get it.

00:24:02Just a $10 billion contract?

00:24:05Did you lose your mind

00:24:06when you were in prison?

00:24:07Do you have any idea

00:24:08how much money that is?

00:24:10When this contract

00:24:11doesn't work out,

00:24:12when, not if,

00:24:14don't come crying

00:24:15to me for my help.

00:24:16You're not going to get any.

00:24:22Wait!

00:24:23I didn't say

00:24:25you could take Grace.

00:24:33Congrats, Mr. Carter.

00:24:34You just lost

00:24:35the one person

00:24:36who will ever love you.

00:24:42Who is that guy?

00:24:43He seems so powerful.

00:24:46I know who that is.

00:24:47That's Damon Hawthorne,

00:24:49the country's best lawyer.

00:24:51What?

00:24:51How can Nicole

00:24:52afford someone like him?

00:24:55Oh, my.

00:24:56That is how

00:24:57she got out of jail

00:24:58so easily.

00:25:00She's sleeping with him.

00:25:01Nicole,

00:25:03how dare you betray me

00:25:04once I signed

00:25:05the Carrington contract.

00:25:07You'll regret meeting me.

00:25:10Grandpa!

00:25:14Oh, it's just

00:25:15my sweet granddaughter, Grace.

00:25:18This is wonderful.

00:25:20My dream has come true.

00:25:21My daughter

00:25:22and my granddaughter

00:25:23have come back.

00:25:25Let's put you down.

00:25:29you can take over

00:25:31Carrington Group

00:25:34Oh!

00:25:37Now?

00:25:38That's right.

00:25:39I've decided to retire

00:25:40and spend more time

00:25:41with my precious

00:25:42granddaughter.

00:26:09Carrington heiress.

00:26:10This is it.

00:26:22The world I belong to.

00:26:25Soon,

00:26:26I'll be one of them.

00:26:53can't thank you enough

00:26:56for getting us

00:26:58You really are

00:26:59the best family

00:27:00Nicole and I

00:27:01can ask for.

00:27:02They're already divorced.

00:27:04Why is he hung up

00:27:05on Nicole?

00:27:06She's just a

00:27:07worthless housewife.

00:27:08She's just a

00:27:09little girl.

00:27:09She's just a

00:27:10little girl.

00:27:10She's just a

00:27:11little girl.

00:27:11She's just a

00:27:12little girl.

00:27:13She's just a

00:27:13little girl.

00:27:13She's just a

00:27:14little girl.

00:27:15She's just a

00:27:15little girl.

00:27:15She's just a

00:27:16little girl.

00:27:17She's just a

00:27:17little girl.

00:27:17She's just a

00:27:18little girl.

00:27:19She's just a

00:27:19little girl.

00:27:19She's just a

00:27:21She's just a

00:27:21She's just a

00:27:23She's just a

00:27:23She's just a

00:27:25She's just a

00:27:28She's just a

00:27:29little girl.

00:27:30She's just a

00:27:31little girl.

00:27:32Ms. Carrington, the guests are arriving soon.

00:27:49You may head down whenever you're ready.

00:27:52Okay.

00:27:54Let's go.

00:27:56I can't believe this.

00:27:58This party is so luxurious.

00:27:59Of course.

00:28:00Mr. Carrington is the richest man in the country.

00:28:01And he held this grand party to welcome back his sole heiress, who's been away for seven years.

00:28:06You know, I heard Mr. Carrington is announcing her as the new CEO tonight,

00:28:11and she's going to be the one signing the contract with us.

00:28:15Really, Elaine?

00:28:15So your $10 billion business deal, that's settled.

00:28:18That's right.

00:28:19You know, and I heard it from Mr. Rook himself, the chief investing director of the Carrington family.

00:28:25I wonder where this heiress is.

00:28:27You're patient, Ethan.

00:28:28You know, I'm sure Mr. Carrington is preparing a grand entrance for her.

00:28:34But you know, I'm curious, too.

00:28:36Who is this secret heiress that gave up this family fortune for seven years?

00:28:42Seven years?

00:28:44That was how long Nicole and I were married.

00:28:46Well, no matter what, we should toast to your success and that $10 billion contract.

00:28:51Look, it must be the heiress.

00:29:11How could it be her?

00:29:13How the hell did you sneak in here, Nicole?

00:29:26Sneak in?

00:29:28I was escorted in.

00:29:30With respect.

00:29:31You're just here to get Ethan back since he's closing a $10 billion deal.

00:29:36Oh, wow.

00:29:37Ethan bought this fake designer dress.

00:29:40Please, you're just going to embarrass yourself and Ethan.

00:29:43You really think I want Ethan back?

00:29:47Take a look around this room.

00:29:49Every person in there makes Ethan look like nothing.

00:29:54Like this rug.

00:29:55It looks expensive, but it's actually just there to be walked off.

00:29:59Go back to your pathetic housewife life, Nicole.

00:30:01Nicole, this is my first time breaking into real high society.

00:30:06Nicole, if you're here to talk about getting back together,

00:30:10at least wait until I sign the contract with the heiress.

00:30:14Oh, Ethan.

00:30:16You still don't get it.

00:30:18If I leave, this entire event would be over.

00:30:22Oh, sweetheart.

00:30:24Mr. Rook invited us personally to close the $10 billion deal.

00:30:28So just leave now before you embarrass yourself.

00:30:31Or we have to have security kick you out.

00:30:34Oh, no.

00:30:35You mean Owen Rooks?

00:30:36Chief Investment Officer at the Carrington Group.

00:30:38Wow, you even did your homework just to get Ethan back.

00:30:42You know the name of the Carrington's Chief Investment Director.

00:30:44Mm-hmm.

00:30:50Hi.

00:30:51Have Owen Rooks meet me here immediately.

00:30:54If he's not here in one minute.

00:30:56Fire him.

00:30:57Okay.

00:31:01Have Owen Rooks meet me here immediately.

00:31:07If he's not here in one minute.

00:31:09Fire him.

00:31:10Understood.

00:31:11Damon Hawthorne?

00:31:12The famous lawyer and lover of Ethan's ex-wife?

00:31:15What is he doing here?

00:31:16Mr. Hawthorne.

00:31:17I've been looking for you.

00:31:19I hear the heiress, Ms. Carrington, is taking over as CEO of the party.

00:31:22I was hoping you could introduce us beforehand.

00:31:23Oh, what a coincidence, Owen.

00:31:25I actually just called the phone with Ms. Carrington.

00:31:27She wants to see you down in the main hall.

00:31:29And let's see here.

00:31:30You've got 40 seconds before you're fired.

00:31:34I'm on my way.

00:31:35Yeah.

00:31:35Mr. Rook is about to be promoted by the Carringtons.

00:31:41One deal with him could turn someone into a millionaire overnight.

00:31:45Who are you to fire him?

00:31:48One word is all it takes.

00:32:05How dare you sit there?

00:32:09That is reserved for the heiress of the Carrington family.

00:32:12Yes.

00:32:13Move.

00:32:14Move!

00:32:14Out of the way!

00:32:17There's no need to panic, Owen.

00:32:20You don't know a damn thing.

00:32:21Ms. Carrington is the sole heir to this empire.

00:32:24The word is law.

00:32:26Get up.

00:32:27You can't sit there.

00:32:29What the hell do you think you're doing?

00:32:33Ms. Carrington?

00:32:35Ms. Carrington, you're right.

00:32:37Don't let her fool you, Owen.

00:32:39She is just a troublemaker.

00:32:41And you won't believe this.

00:32:42She said that she could fire you.

00:32:45Seriously?

00:32:47Look what you did, Nicole.

00:32:49You're going to pay for your stupid lives.

00:32:51Oh, I can guarantee it, Owen.

00:32:54She just got in here with the help of Mr. Hawthorne.

00:32:57She's his mistress.

00:32:57And she's trying to fool you.

00:33:00We're telling the truth.

00:33:01I swear it, Mr. Rook.

00:33:02Even Ms. Carrington's most trusted staff wouldn't say something like that.

00:33:07Who exactly are you to the Carrington family?

00:33:09She's a nobody.

00:33:10A worthless piece of trash.

00:33:13She was dumped by her husband.

00:33:14And in jail up until last week.

00:33:16She hurt her own daughter and ended up behind bars.

00:33:19And the only reason that she got out is because she's sleeping with Mr. Hawthorne.

00:33:23Ethan, she's making all this mess to get back at you.

00:33:30She wants to ruin your $10 billion deal.

00:33:33Cool.

00:33:34I never thought you'd pull a despicable scheme like this.

00:33:37Why hasn't security thrown this tramp out yet?

00:33:41Get out of that throne now.

00:33:42That is reserved for Ms. Carrington.

00:33:44Owen.

00:33:44Are you really that stupid?

00:33:48Did she just insult Owen Rook?

00:33:54What are you all waiting for?

00:33:56Someone take care of this bitch now.

00:33:58We can't have Ms. Carrington see this.

00:34:00You idiots.

00:34:00Kick her out now.

00:34:02Crawl back into the sewer where you belong, you disgusting fucking rat.

00:34:07Woo.

00:34:08Okay.

00:34:09Owen Rook.

00:34:10Chief Investment Director.

00:34:11And you can't even think for yourself.

00:34:14Pathetic.

00:34:15Do you have any idea how important I am to the Carrington group?

00:34:18I was the head of this billion-dollar contract before you.

00:34:21Who the hell are you?

00:34:23Yeah.

00:34:24Head of investments at the Carrington group.

00:34:27And you're making what?

00:34:28You said billion-dollar deals with a company that lacks integrity.

00:34:33You serious?

00:34:35How dare you touch our contract with your dirty hands?

00:34:38Put it down.

00:34:45Throw her out now!

00:34:48She just threw garbage at me and you two idiots stood there.

00:34:57Get her out of here!

00:34:58Open your eyes, Owen.

00:34:59See exactly who I am.

00:35:03Now, am I going to have to fire you or are you going to resign?

00:35:06You crazy bitch!

00:35:07Have you lost your damn mind when you were in that prison?

00:35:12You think tearing up some paper is going to cancel a ten-billion-dollar deal?

00:35:16Pulling a stunt like this at such a classy event?

00:35:20How dare you?

00:35:21And insulting the very man who invited us here?

00:35:24You ought to be a shame.

00:35:25Wrong.

00:35:26This entire event had nothing to do with this idiot.

00:35:29You're all here because I allowed it.

00:35:32Oh, really?

00:35:34If you're so powerful, then how did you end up in prison?

00:35:38Cool.

00:35:39Have you really lost your goddamn mind because I sent you to jail?

00:35:41You called me an idiot?

00:35:43Fine.

00:35:44I'll teach you a lesson myself.

00:35:45I'd like to see you try.

00:35:53Mr. Hawthorne, you got here just in time.

00:35:56This lunatic crashed the event and tore up our contract.

00:36:01Please, you need to make sure she gets arrested.

00:36:05See how angry Mr. Hawthorne is?

00:36:07You're done, you arrogant little...

00:36:10Watch your mouth, Owen.

00:36:11Mr. Hawthorne, my mother and I just told you that woman is Mr. Hawthorne's mistress,

00:36:20and that is why he's siding with her.

00:36:22Mr. Hawthorne, you can't keep defending this woman.

00:36:26I know you're the most powerful attorney in the country, but you still work for the Carringtons.

00:36:30She ruined the gala and tore up our $10 billion contract.

00:36:34We all saw it.

00:36:35Stop protecting this bitch, or Ms. Carrington will not forgive you when she arrives.

00:36:42That's right.

00:36:43She should be crippled and thrown out, so every lowlife maggot like her will learn their place.

00:36:49I see.

00:36:49This whole event, it's a mess.

00:36:52Somebody's got to take the blame for it.

00:36:55Mm-hmm.

00:36:58Agreed.

00:36:59Nicole, still keeping up the act.

00:37:05You know, after Ethan divorced you, you should have crawled into a gutter with your daughter and died.

00:37:11But no.

00:37:12Instead, you come here and you make a fool out of yourself.

00:37:17You heard Mr. Hawthorne.

00:37:18Break her legs and toss her out of here.

00:37:21Huh.

00:37:25Mr. Hawthorne.

00:37:26Oh, Elaine.

00:37:30Are you looking at him?

00:37:33These bodyguards don't take orders from him.

00:37:39What?

00:37:40What the hell?

00:37:41Wait, what?

00:37:41Oh!

00:37:42Oh!

00:37:43Oh!

00:37:44Oh!

00:37:47Mr. Hawthorne, what the hell is going on?

00:37:50Owen, are you blind or just stupid?

00:37:53Every single security officer here takes orders from one person and one person only.

00:37:59The rightful heiress to the Carrington Group.

00:38:04That is impossible.

00:38:08Is she really Miss Carrington?

00:38:10The rightful heiress to the Carrington Group.

00:38:15What?

00:38:16Is she really Miss Carrington?

00:38:18Ah, Owen.

00:38:20Brain's finally working, huh?

00:38:22Unfortunately, though, it is too late.

00:38:24Owen Rook, you're fired.

00:38:26No.

00:38:29No, you can't.

00:38:30Of course she can.

00:38:31Besides, did you really think that you could get away with taking bribes as the chief financial

00:38:36director?

00:38:38This Kate Lopez alone paid you nearly $50 million, didn't she?

00:38:43We have all the proof.

00:38:45Financial records, offshore transfers.

00:38:48You're not just fired.

00:38:50You'll also be facing fraud charges.

00:38:53I hope you like prisons.

00:38:54You'll be staying there a very long time.

00:38:57Wait.

00:38:58What about our $10 billion deal?

00:39:00What do you think?

00:39:02Of course it's void.

00:39:04I told you, Ethan.

00:39:07Everything that you have, I gave it to you.

00:39:12No.

00:39:12This isn't happening.

00:39:13You are not Miss Carrington.

00:39:15Your last name might be Carrington, but she's my ex-wife.

00:39:18We were married for seven years.

00:39:20She was just walked in jail just last week.

00:39:23And now, she's the heiress of the richest family in the country?

00:39:28This is all a scam!

00:39:30You are not fooling us with this nonsense.

00:39:33She is nothing but a fraud, fresh out of prison.

00:39:37And she's trying to sleep her way to the top, you fucking little slut.

00:39:41There is no way you are Miss Carrington.

00:39:44But the security team did say they only answer to the Carrington heiress.

00:39:48That's because my dear ex-wife here cheated on me and spread her legs to Mr. Hawthorne.

00:39:55They have been working together to ruin my deal with the Carringtons.

00:39:59Oh.

00:40:00So that's what this is about.

00:40:02What now, Nicole?

00:40:03So, just admit that you did all of this to get me back, and I might forgive you.

00:40:15You filthy bastard.

00:40:27Mr. Carrington.

00:40:30How dare you insult my daughter?

00:40:33How dare you insult my daughter?

00:40:37I didn't, sir.

00:40:38My daughter, Nicole Carrington, sacrificed her entire family fortune to support your businesses,

00:40:44to protect your fragile ego.

00:40:47She gave you your sweet daughter, Grace.

00:40:51How did you repay her?

00:40:54You sided with a lying viper, sent her to prison, and insulted her at her own family banquet.

00:41:03I was going to give you that $10 million contract, because my daughter loved you.

00:41:14But now, you get nothing!

00:41:17Oh, my God, so she is Ms. Carrington, the billionaire heiress.

00:41:24It's all ruined.

00:41:26I humiliated the heiress to the country's wealthiest family.

00:41:30I'm finished.

00:41:31You get nothing!

00:41:33You get nothing!

00:41:38Dad, Dad, hey, you should go rest, okay?

00:41:41I got this.

00:41:43How can this be?

00:41:43My dear child, you have been wronged.

00:41:50Ladies and gentlemen, I announced that my daughter, Nicole Carrington, is the sole heiress

00:41:56of the billions of dollars in the Carrington fortune, and is the new CEO of the Carrington Group.

00:42:03Now, please, everyone, raise your glasses, and help us celebrate this moment.

00:42:14To Ms. Carrington!

00:42:15Oh, and then those people are really too shameless.

00:42:29Shameless?

00:42:29I can't believe they'd humiliate the heiress like that.

00:42:32They're done in California.

00:42:34No.

00:42:35In this country.

00:42:36Off of me!

00:42:45Off, bitch.

00:42:45Off me.

00:42:48No, I won't leave like this.

00:42:50I want my $10 billion for...

00:42:52Stop it, you crazy bitch!

00:42:53I will never work for Carrington Corp again.

00:42:56I want my $50 billion back now!

00:42:59No way!

00:42:59This is all your fault.

00:43:00If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have lost my job.

00:43:03You're fucking crazy!

00:43:04I wish I'd never met you!

00:43:06How could Nicole be the heiress to the Carrington Group?

00:43:12You just dumped her!

00:43:14She is a filthy little sewer rat!

00:43:20Don't touch me.

00:43:22Leave me alone.

00:43:23Ethan, where are you going?

00:43:25What about the $10 billion contract?

00:43:29Ah!

00:43:36I'll let you leech on to me for seven years!

00:43:40Who are you to leave me?

00:43:42And who are you to take my daughter away from me?

00:43:44Who is this secret heiress?

00:43:47Now, I'm sure Mr. Carrington is preparing a grand entrance for her.

00:43:51Who is this secret heiress that willingly gave up this family fortune for seven years?

00:43:57Why would she do that?

00:43:58Congrats, Mr. Carter.

00:44:00You just lost the one person who will ever love you.

00:44:02Ladies and gentlemen, I want to announce that my daughter, Nicole Carrington, is the sole heiress of the billions of dollars in the Carrington fortune, and is the CEO of the Carrington Group.

00:44:14My ex-wife is the heiress to the richest family in the country.

00:44:22Wait.

00:44:23There's still a time.

00:44:25We have Grace, our daughter.

00:44:31I can't believe Ms. Carrington is coming to inside the office today.

00:44:34I mean, you were called in two hours early just to greet her.

00:44:37Can you imagine?

00:44:38If we play our cards right with someone like her, we can get promoted faster.

00:44:43Wait a minute.

00:44:44Is that Ethan's ex-wife?

00:44:46I heard she became some rich guy's mistress.

00:44:50Well, you're a door-dasher now.

00:44:53Guess spreading your legs only got you this far.

00:44:55Oh.

00:44:56Here.

00:44:57Hand these to me first and go get some more.

00:45:00Come on.

00:45:01Are you deaf?

00:45:03Take it and hurry up.

00:45:04We're waiting for Ms. Carrington, bitch.

00:45:05Don't ruin this for us.

00:45:10Well, I've got a meeting.

00:45:12Hey, what the hell are you doing?

00:45:13Uh, it's not right there.

00:45:17Check out the suit.

00:45:18TaylorMade.

00:45:19Cost me $10,000.

00:45:21Do you think Nicole will like it?

00:45:24What are you talking about?

00:45:25Did you forget that she acquired your company?

00:45:27Why are you so happy?

00:45:30Apologies for being late, everybody.

00:45:33What in the hell are you doing here?

00:45:36We're sorry, Ethan.

00:45:37We tried to stop this bitch.

00:45:38You know, we did not mean to let us serve our meeting with Ms. Carrington.

00:45:41Ethan, deal with this.

00:45:42How can you let your convict ex-wife in our meeting room?

00:45:45To avoid any further misunderstandings, please listen up, for I really, really hate repeating myself.

00:45:52I am Nicole Carrington, Carrington Group's newly appointed CEO, and I've acquired 51% of the Carter Group's shares.

00:45:58So starting today, I am your boss.

00:46:01Got it?

00:46:01Ethan, I need to go talk to Nicole.

00:46:10What do you want, Elaine?

00:46:11Why do you think Nicole bought your company?

00:46:13She's trying to get revenge on us.

00:46:16Revenge?

00:46:17I know Nicole.

00:46:18She wouldn't do that.

00:46:19Are you insane?

00:46:21You think for a second that she would forgive you after everything that we did to her?

00:46:26Hurting Grace and humiliating her?

00:46:29Or did you just forget all that?

00:46:31Nicole has a kind heart.

00:46:32Grace almost arrived at the birthday party.

00:46:34That was our fault.

00:46:35I'll apologize to Nicole, and she'll forgive me.

00:46:38I know.

00:46:39Ethan, are you naive or just stupid?

00:46:43You broke her heart, mocked her, and then sent her straight to jail when I was framing her for drinking and hurting Grace.

00:46:51Wait.

00:46:52What do you mean, framed her?

00:46:56It was you.

00:46:58You framed her!

00:47:00Nicole never drank!

00:47:01You were the one that locked my daughter in the car and almost killed her!

00:47:04It was you who got me the billion dollar deal!

00:47:06It was you all wrong!

00:47:07Please, just let me go.

00:47:09What?

00:47:11You know, why are you caring so much about this now?

00:47:16You knew that she never drank.

00:47:19She defended herself, and that did not stop you from sending her straight to jail, did it?

00:47:24And now, all of a sudden, you want to play the role of the caring husband?

00:47:28Nicole wouldn't have divorced me if it was a misunderstanding.

00:47:32What did you do?

00:47:34So what, I may have done something.

00:47:36I just showed her a photo of you and me kissing.

00:47:39What are you talking about?

00:47:41I never did anything with you.

00:47:47How'd you get the smoke out?

00:47:52Well, I could tell you were still hung up on that bitch, so I drugged you.

00:47:56I've always trusted you.

00:48:02You were Nicole's best friend.

00:48:03Why do this to me?

00:48:05To us?

00:48:06You ruined my family!

00:48:08Because I am so much better than her!

00:48:11And I knew you were about to sign that big contract, so of course I wanted a piece of that.

00:48:16But, you know, Nicole has everything!

00:48:20She has the money!

00:48:22And the family!

00:48:23And I was just an assistant!

00:48:26No!

00:48:27No!

00:48:28You are out of your minor lane!

00:48:29Security!

00:48:31Get this crazy woman out of here!

00:48:32I never want to see you again!

00:48:35Get up!

00:48:37Just hands off!

00:48:39Oh!

00:48:40Get up!

00:48:42No!

00:48:42So, uh, what are you even thinking for lunch today?

00:48:46I don't know.

00:48:46I actually haven't really thought about it yet.

00:48:47Nicole!

00:48:48I know the truth now.

00:48:49It was Elaine.

00:48:50She tricked me.

00:48:52She...

00:48:53She fooled us all.

00:48:54Wow!

00:48:55All right!

00:48:55You caught on!

00:48:56Congratulations!

00:48:58Nicole, please.

00:49:00I need to talk to you about something.

00:49:01Mr. Carter, I'm her lawyer.

00:49:03You can talk to me.

00:49:08I'll talk to her whenever I'd like to.

00:49:11She's my wife.

00:49:12No.

00:49:13You guys got divorced, remember?

00:49:14She's still the mother of my daughter, Grace.

00:49:17Which we need to talk about, by the way.

00:49:19Nicole, I'll resolve this matter with Mr. Carter.

00:49:21Nicole, he doesn't have a say.

00:49:22I am more than qualified to handle this.

00:49:26What are these two doing?

00:49:29Nicole!

00:49:32Too slow, Damon.

00:49:34Uh, it's cash only.

00:49:36Sorry.

00:49:36Okay, don't mind them.

00:49:38Here you go.

00:49:38Thanks.

00:49:40Nicole, can I please have a moment with you for Grace?

00:49:48Damon, could you wait outside?

00:49:49Okay.

00:49:51Be right out there.

00:49:56Okay.

00:49:57Ethan, what about Grace did you want to talk about?

00:50:01Why did you hide your identity from me all these years?

00:50:04Okay, what does this have to do with our daughter?

00:50:05Everything!

00:50:06If you didn't hide your identity, I wouldn't have misunderstood you.

00:50:09And Grace, you should have lived in a complete loving home.

00:50:12No, no, no, no.

00:50:12What tore us apart was not my identity.

00:50:15It was your betrayal and shamelessness.

00:50:18You get that, right?

00:50:19I didn't betray you.

00:50:21It was that redhead bitch Elaine.

00:50:22She tricked me.

00:50:24Nothing, you know, happened between us.

00:50:26You're the only woman I've ever loved.

00:50:28Please, give me a chance to prove it to you.

00:50:31Okay, since we're not talking about our daughter, I'm leaving.

00:50:34I made a mistake.

00:50:36I hurt you.

00:50:37I broke your heart.

00:50:38I called you a parasite.

00:50:39But I now know how much you sacrifice for our family.

00:50:43Mmm, do you?

00:50:45I love you.

00:50:46And I mean it.

00:50:51One more chance.

00:50:53Grace is only five.

00:50:55I'm sure you want to grow up with a father, right?

00:51:01You're back at my feet because...

00:51:04Because you truly believe what you did was wrong.

00:51:08Not because of my family name.

00:51:10All that money and fortune.

00:51:14Of course.

00:51:16I never wanted us to end, Nicole.

00:51:19I don't even care about money.

00:51:21I can even transfer all my accounts and shares to you

00:51:25if that's what it's going to take to prove my love to you.

00:51:27You know, it's really tough to believe a word that you say.

00:51:32When I was framed,

00:51:35when I was beaten

00:51:36in that prison,

00:51:38when you

00:51:39threw me away,

00:51:41I didn't see any love

00:51:44in you then.

00:51:45I made a mistake.

00:51:47But I can right my wrongs

00:51:50on love.

00:51:51Please.

00:51:52Please.

00:51:57Nicole!

00:52:01Cold.

00:52:02Right?

00:52:02How's that feel?

00:52:03Does it hurt?

00:52:04You may be able to get rid of the stain.

00:52:06Ethan,

00:52:06but are you ever going to actually forget that feeling?

00:52:09That humiliation?

00:52:10No.

00:52:11Right?

00:52:12Cool.

00:52:13I will make you come back to me.

00:52:16Mark my words.

00:52:19If I want something,

00:52:21I'll get it.

00:52:21As long as we have a tie,

00:52:23you'll come back to my side.

00:52:24Okay.

00:52:25What do you two want?

00:52:32Hmm?

00:52:32Sorry I didn't bring any coffee for you today.

00:52:34Oh, you misunderstood, Miss Carrington.

00:52:36We're just delivering a message for Ethan.

00:52:38He would like to see you in the conference room.

00:52:40Okay.

00:52:49You're here.

00:52:50You're here.

00:52:50What is going on?

00:52:55Don't try to be this serious.

00:52:56I do not have time for this right now, okay?

00:52:57Don't worry.

00:52:57This is a workplace.

00:53:00I'm not going to do anything bad.

00:53:12Nicole.

00:53:13Hmm?

00:53:13I know you didn't trust me when I said I'm willing to give up all my money just to win you back.

00:53:22So here it is.

00:53:23Every cent I have for you.

00:53:27Wow.

00:53:28I made a mistake.

00:53:40I hurt you.

00:53:41Mm-hmm.

00:53:42I abandoned you.

00:53:46All my cars are here on the table.

00:53:49All I ask is to have another chance to win you back.

00:53:54All your money.

00:53:55That is all of your cards on the table?

00:53:59Please.

00:54:00Nicole.

00:54:02I know you don't understand.

00:54:04I was sick of being poor.

00:54:07Being a nobody.

00:54:09So money was important to me.

00:54:13But for you, I'm willing to give it all up.

00:54:17Can we start over?

00:54:19Think about what we've been through.

00:54:21Think about grace.

00:54:22I think we both know that this is not near enough money to make me forgive you.

00:54:29Looks like you are trying to start a fire.

00:54:34So you feel it too, huh?

00:54:36The passion?

00:54:37I feel it.

00:54:38Definitely.

00:54:40What do you say we make this more exciting?

00:54:43Isn't that a little too much?

00:54:47No.

00:54:50Come on.

00:54:52We used to do this all the time, didn't we?

00:54:54We used to be young and wild.

00:54:58Fun.

00:54:59Hot.

00:55:00Yeah.

00:55:00Hot.

00:55:01Yeah.

00:55:02Feel my forgiveness?

00:55:04Oh.

00:55:04Mm-hmm.

00:55:07Earn it.

00:55:07I'll do whatever you want, baby.

00:55:11All right.

00:55:12Oh, yeah.

00:55:13Oh, you already know.

00:55:15I'm rather relaxed.

00:55:17Oh, yeah.

00:55:19This is what I'm talking about.

00:55:20Oh, wow.

00:55:21You need to take charge, yeah?

00:55:23Yeah, yeah.

00:55:24David's good sucking, huh?

00:55:26Mm-hmm.

00:55:27Oh, honey.

00:55:29Nicole.

00:55:30Nicole.

00:55:31Nicole.

00:55:32Nicole.

00:55:37Nicole.

00:55:38Nicole.

00:55:39Nicole.

00:55:40Nicole.

00:55:43I thought we had a meeting right now.

00:55:46Yeah.

00:55:46Yeah, we do.

00:55:47You guys can go ahead and head in.

00:55:48I just kind of grab something.

00:55:59Oh, fuck.

00:56:03Oh.

00:56:03Oh, shit.

00:56:04Oh, shit.

00:56:05Oh, shit.

00:56:06Oh, shit.

00:56:07Oh, shit.

00:56:07Fuck! What are you looking at? Everybody out! Get out! Wait, wait, wait, wait, fuck! I need the key. I need the fucking key. Damon! Damon, I need the key! Damon, I need the key!

00:56:26He didn't try anything, did he? No, look, God, no. I'm always on my guard around him. Mr. Attorney, my ex-husband just harassed me in my workplace. Would you mind calling the police, filing a report for me? I am on it, Ms. CEO. Thank you!

00:56:56Mark! Ethan Carter, you're under arrest for workplace sexual harassment. What? You're coming with us. I've never had sexual assault on anybody, officer. This is a mistake! Save it for the jury. Take your money, take your money. There's money on the table. Money for enough of all three of you. Listen, I have money. Lots of money. I thought you forgave me, Nicole.

00:57:21No, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Betrayed and sent to prison by the person you want to love most. How's it feel?

00:57:28I can't go to prison. People will make fun of Grace if I go to prison. They'll say both of her parents are cause!

00:57:33Grace is strong and brave, unlike you. Selfish coward.

00:57:39Hey, don't move.

00:57:43I'll protect Grace. Don't you worry.

00:57:46Let's go.

00:57:47Let's go.

00:57:51Let's go.

00:57:52Absolutely.

00:57:53Ew.

00:57:54Oh, I'm in a good mood. I'm in the best mood, actually. You know what? It's been cited. You have to stick with me until it hits the spot.

00:58:04I will be here until the end.

00:58:07Hmm. Deal.

00:58:09Am I just the biggest idiot? You know, I left my dad, my only family, for seven years.

00:58:19For what? Hmm? For some selfish bastard who sent me to prison. To prison. He did that. You know? He didn't even bet an eye. He didn't care. I don't know how I'm supposed to face my dad again. I'm stupid, but...

00:58:35Nicole, you're back now. That's all that matters.

00:58:40Thank you. I'm really glad that you're still my friend after all the years.

00:58:46Of course.

00:58:48So, enough about that. What's new with you? Hmm? Anybody special in your life?

00:58:57No. I'm single. The girl I loved left and married some asshole seven years ago.

00:59:05Seven years?

00:59:06Nope.

00:59:07What? Come on! But you're such a good-looking guy. How could you do that?

00:59:12Oh, man. I guess we've both been going through it, huh?

00:59:15Oh, it's not so bad. I mean, she's back now. I think I might have a shot.

00:59:22Wait. Could it be?

00:59:27Oh, I think I'm a little drunk.

00:59:32Oh, careful.

00:59:37I think you've had too much.

00:59:41Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm a little drunk.

00:59:46I should probably head home, but it's just... it's far, you know?

00:59:51Oh. No, you just sleep in my bed. I'll take the couch. It's fine, really.

00:59:56Okay. Maybe I got it wrong.

01:00:02Hmm. Such a shame. Such a cute boy.

01:00:18This notebook. Why does it look so familiar?

01:00:23This is my college notebook.

01:00:38What is this?

01:00:39David, give it back. I'm serious. I'm not playing. Give it back.

01:00:42Lawyers in suits are sick. What? I hope I can kiss a hot sexy lawyer someday.

01:00:47What? Why can't I kiss a hot sexy lawyer someday?

01:00:51I mean, how many guys do you want to kiss?

01:00:53What?

01:00:54Is this why all your professors are having you redo all your papers?

01:00:57No.

01:00:58That's it. That's it. I'm confiscating this.

01:01:01No, you're what?

01:01:02I'm confiscating this. It's mine.

01:01:03It's mine.

01:01:04You're a jerk. Give it back, David. David.

01:01:06What are you doing? You scared me.

01:01:22I just came to get my pajamas and get dressed. Didn't expect you to be reading through my stuff.

01:01:27Okay, I'm sorry. I think you mean my stuff. That's my notebook from college. Actually, give it back to me. Give it back.

01:01:36Ow! Um...

01:01:40I guess I need this more than you.

01:01:42Okay, just go get your PJs so you can go, alright?

01:01:46Well, now that I'm here, do you think I count as a hot, ripped, sexy lawyer?

01:02:06Yeah, yeah. Of course you do.

01:02:09Then don't you want to kiss me?

01:02:16Then don't you want to kiss me?

01:02:29God, you drive me crazy.

01:02:46Fuck.

01:02:53Was I beaten up yesterday?

01:02:59Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I slept with my best friend.

01:03:01That's my best friend.

01:03:15No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, stop it, stop it, Nicole, stop it.

01:03:31Oh, I gotta admit, he is really hot.

01:03:57I left early for work. I had a meeting.

01:04:01Think you can run away from me that easily, Miss Nicole Carrington?

01:04:13Okay, it's been days and I haven't heard from Damon.

01:04:15Is he embarrassed?

01:04:17Miss Carrington, you're still home?

01:04:19Today's the parent-teacher event at Grace's school.

01:04:22What?

01:04:23No, Grace never told me anything about that.

01:04:25Her teachers didn't either.

01:04:26We need to hurry.

01:04:27You can't join the family show.

01:04:31You don't even have a dad.

01:04:33I do have a dad.

01:04:35You don't even have a dad.

01:04:37I do have a dad.

01:04:39You liar.

01:04:41I've never seen your dad.

01:04:43That's right.

01:04:45Hey, what are you two twerps saying to my daughter?

01:04:47Daddy.

01:04:49I apologize to her now.

01:04:51Sorry.

01:04:52Sorry, I was mean.

01:04:59Thank you, Uncle Damon.

01:05:00Did you rehearse for the show at home?

01:05:01Of course.

01:05:02I take Princess's orders very seriously.

01:05:13All right.

01:05:14You guys ready?

01:05:15One, two, three.

01:05:17Oh, I'm coming home.

01:05:22I'm coming home to you.

01:05:27Oh, I'm coming home.

01:05:32I'm coming home to you.

01:05:47Oh, well, if Mommy's here, why don't we make it a family photo?

01:06:02Oh, we're not a family photo.

01:06:03Mommy, hurry up.

01:06:04Okay.

01:06:05Okay.

01:06:08Hey.

01:06:09Say cheese.

01:06:10Cheese.

01:06:15Mommy, you go first.

01:06:16I have to talk to Uncle Damon about something.

01:06:19What?

01:06:20No, when did you guys get so close?

01:06:22That's a secret between Uncle Damon and me.

01:06:24Yeah.

01:06:25I'll send her inside as soon as we're done.

01:06:27Just don't worry.

01:06:28Now go.

01:06:29Oh, I'm going.

01:06:30Uncle Damon, you want to go on a date with my mommy, right?

01:06:40I know you love my mommy.

01:06:42I want to help you out.

01:06:43I don't just want to go on a date with your mommy.

01:06:47If it's okay with you, may I have the honor of being your dad, Grace?

01:06:51Uncle Damon, I really, really want you to be my dad.

01:06:57Mommy's birthday is this weekend.

01:06:59And I know this is her birthday wish, too.

01:07:02Well, then I'll just have to ask Miss Grace for help with Miss Carrington.

01:07:07I think I swear.

01:07:17You gotta get that.

01:07:19Happy birthday, Mommy.

01:07:20What did you wish for?

01:07:21I just wish for you to be happy and healthy.

01:07:24That's all Mommy ever wanted.

01:07:25You're the best Mommy ever.

01:07:26Thank you!

01:07:28Where are we going?

01:07:29Just follow me, Mommy.

01:07:30I have a surprise gift for you.

01:07:31What?

01:07:32Okay.

01:07:33Follow me, Mommy.

01:07:34Oh, Grace.

01:07:35Did you do all this?

01:07:36Yes, Mommy.

01:07:37Oh, it's beautiful.

01:07:39Wow.

01:07:40Now close your eyes and I'll tell you what the surprise gift is.

01:07:44Close my eyes?

01:07:45Okay.

01:07:46Eyes are closed.

01:07:47What's going on?

01:07:48What now?

01:07:49I want to invite Mommy to a dance.

01:07:50You want me to dance with you with my eyes closed?

01:07:51That's right.

01:07:52I'll leave you.

01:07:53Okay.

01:07:54All right.

01:07:55Okay.

01:07:56Okay.

01:07:57Where are we going?

01:07:58Okay.

01:07:59Okay.

01:08:00Okay.

01:08:01Where are we going?

01:08:02Okay.

01:08:03Okay.

01:08:04Okay.

01:08:05Where are we going?

01:08:06Okay.

01:08:07Okay.

01:08:08Okay.

01:08:09Okay.

01:08:10Okay.

01:08:11Okay.

01:08:12Okay.

01:08:13Okay.

01:08:14Okay.

01:08:15Okay.

01:08:16Okay.

01:08:17Okay.

01:08:19Okay.

01:08:22Let's see who is.

01:08:29together.

01:08:34Everybody has a chance.

01:08:35Happy birthday, Nicole!

01:08:38So.

01:08:39What is all this?

01:08:40Can I explain it?

01:08:41Well, I mean, you never explain that right away.

01:08:44I know.

01:08:45I'm sorry.

01:08:47I just.

01:08:49I just found out that someone had feelings for me, and I didn't really know how to react.

01:08:56Why? Did you not like that, somebody?

01:09:00No, no, no, no, of course I do. I just...

01:09:04I don't think it's weird for two best friends to feel more than that.

01:09:09From the moment I met you, Nicole, I knew I never wanted to just be friends.

01:09:16From the moment you met me?

01:09:18Yeah.

01:09:18Damon, we've been friends since we were kids. You never said anything.

01:09:23I know, and I think about it every day, Nicole.

01:09:27I just... I think about when we were young, and I was such an idiot.

01:09:31I never took the leap, and...

01:09:34Maybe if I had, we could have spent the last seven years together.

01:09:41So you're asking for my hand now?

01:09:44Yeah, yeah, I am.

01:09:45But I know your marriage just ended, and how deeply hurt you are.

01:09:51And it's not my place to tell you how or when to get over that pain.

01:09:57I just... I need you to know... there's no one else from me but you.

01:10:05There's no one else from me but you.

01:10:10I... I just realized... did you become a lawyer because of me?

01:10:18What?

01:10:19What?

01:10:20Wait, give it back, give it back, give it back.

01:10:22I'm going to kiss a hot, sexy lawyer?

01:10:24This again?

01:10:27Yeah.

01:10:28Hey, I...

01:10:29Your dream was to kiss a hot, sexy lawyer.

01:10:32What was I supposed to do?

01:10:33I was just a nerd.

01:10:35Who changes their whole career path based on a silly joke?

01:10:39Who does that?

01:10:41Well, it doesn't matter what I've become in this life.

01:10:46One thing's never changed.

01:10:50I'm all yours.

01:10:52I always have been.

01:10:54I always will be.

01:10:55After that night...

01:11:09I've thought about this moment for a long, long time.

01:11:17And?

01:11:20And.

01:11:22I love you too.

01:11:25I love you too.

01:11:55I love you too.

01:11:56I love you too.

01:11:57I love you too.

01:11:58I love you too.

01:11:59I love you too.

01:12:00I love you too.

01:12:01I love you too.

01:12:02I love you too.

01:12:03I love you too.

01:12:04I love you too.

01:12:05I love you too.

01:12:06I love you too.

01:12:07I love you too.

01:12:08I love you too.

01:12:09I love you too.

01:12:10I love you too.

01:12:11I love you too.

01:12:12I love you too.

01:12:13I love you too.

01:12:14I love you too.

01:12:15I love you too.

01:12:16I love you too.

01:12:17I love you too.

01:12:18I love you too.

01:12:19I love you too.
