00:00 It's funny how mirrors work, reflecting everything you do, imitating it.
00:13 But looks can be deceiving.
00:16 What you see isn't always what you get.
00:28 Nora Summers was just an innocent girl who thought she was just having a passionate night
00:35 with a handsome boy she had just met.
00:42 How dare you sleep with that man!
00:58 Dad, it's not what it looks like!
01:00 You have ruined this family's reputation!
01:03 From today, I only have one daughter.
01:07 And her name...
01:09 Dad! Dad!
01:10 It's not Nora.
01:14 As Nora wept in sadness and confusion, her twin sister Yvonne approached her room.
01:24 Yvonne? My own twin sister?
01:30 Why would you do this to me?
01:32 You did this to yourself.
01:34 I did the best in school.
01:36 I took piano.
01:38 I worked so hard for our parents.
01:42 And still Mom only loves you.
01:45 Her perfect Nora.
01:47 Yvonne! Now they'll see who you really are.
01:51 Yvonne left the room, smiling in victory.
01:57 But as she played back the video, she discovered something shocking.
02:05 As Yvonne looked through the footage, she discovered the guy Nora spent the night with
02:20 was no other than Samuel Blackwood, the son of a multi-billionaire family.
02:28 This can't be.
02:30 Why does she always get the best?
02:39 She's gonna regret this.
02:43 Meanwhile, Nora Summers was facing something else that she didn't expect.
02:51 A positive pregnancy test.
02:55 [Nora breathing heavily]
03:08 Look, I'm sorry.
03:12 I know that I exposed you to the family.
03:16 But now that you're pregnant...
03:20 This is really serious.
03:24 I'll help you keep this a secret.
03:28 Shouldn't I tell the father he's gonna have a baby?
03:33 No, no, no, no.
03:36 Do you know who he is?
03:38 Do you know what kind of attention that'll bring to us?
03:43 To our family?
03:45 Look, we're twins, right?
03:49 I'll just be you for a while.
03:53 You'll figure this out.
03:56 For the next nine months, Yvonne took care of Nora really well,
04:02 making sure she got everything she needed.
04:05 The two grew closer together and created a bond that couldn't be separated
04:12 until Nora gave birth.
04:17 Okay, Nora, breathe, okay?
04:19 [Nora breathing heavily]
04:30 That's it, that's it.
04:31 Okay, push.
04:32 [Nora breathing heavily]
04:36 Okay, again, breathe, breathe.
04:38 Okay, one more, one more big one.
04:40 You got one more big one.
04:41 Push, push, Nora, push!
04:44 She's here, she's here.
04:48 She's here.
04:51 How is she?
04:53 Oh, she's beautiful.
04:55 What are you gonna name her?
04:57 No, no, I've been way too stressed about being pregnant.
05:04 Well, you can think about it and how.
05:08 What do you mean?
05:10 I'm sorry, Nora, but you always get the best, and I'm left with nothing.
05:17 It's not going to be like that anymore.
05:21 Yvonne?
05:22 Yvonne?
05:28 Yvonne!
05:32 Yvonne thought she was leaving Nora to die, but she underestimated a mother's love.
05:39 Little did she know, not only did Nora survive, but that there were two survivors that night.
05:48 Because Nora didn't only have one child, she had twins.
06:02 Sir, we found her, the girl from nine months ago, and we have amazing news.
06:08 She's giving birth to your baby.
06:11 A beautiful baby girl.
06:14 That's amazing.
06:16 I can't believe it.
06:18 All this time I was just looking for the girl, and she has my child?
06:23 Send over a car right away to bring them here.
06:26 I want to meet my family.
06:28 Of course, sir.
06:29 Send someone right away.
06:31 You're welcome.
06:50 Okay.
06:52 Okay, I understand.
06:53 Thanks, Doctor.
06:55 Okay, bye.
06:57 Well, what do you say?
06:59 Nothing.
07:00 Still the same.
07:04 Samantha's still not talking, and he says something probably happened to her.
07:10 It's going to be okay.
07:11 Okay?
07:12 We're going to figure it out.
07:13 We're going to get through this.
07:16 I think I'm going to take him to the park.
07:32 Okay, Samantha, go on now.
07:34 Don't go too far, but have fun.
07:45 Hey, what's up?
07:47 Hey, I'm just here at the park with my little peach.
07:50 How are things?
07:51 Just working on things here.
07:53 I had to clear my head after the appointment.
07:58 Yeah, I think maybe we should try and do these things more as a family.
08:01 Maybe it would help.
08:05 Yeah, I'm going to have to call you back.
08:07 I think she's run off.
08:08 Hey, what's going on?
08:20 Samantha?
08:22 Where are you?
08:29 Samantha?
08:30 Mommy?
08:32 Where's your dad?
08:34 Samantha, there you are.
08:36 I've never heard her speak before.
08:38 This is so weird.
08:41 I'm glad she's finally speaking, but thank you so much for finding my girl.
08:46 I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch your name.
08:51 Nora was lost for words.
08:53 Her daughter and the love of her life were there in front of her after all this time.
09:00 She didn't know what to say.
09:04 Christine.
09:06 The name's Christine.
09:16 It was hard to believe how old she had become.
09:20 It had been nearly a decade, and yet it felt as if yesterday Nora had lost her.
09:31 Christine, I can't thank you enough.
09:33 I had a camera last time.
09:34 She said anything to anyone, so.
09:36 Why's that?
09:38 Well, doctors diagnosed her as mute, but for years they said there was nothing wrong with her.
09:42 Maybe something missing.
09:44 Emotional trauma, or she just never really wanted to speak.
09:50 That's interesting.
09:52 Samantha, it's not polite to stare.
09:54 No, no, it's okay.
09:56 Here, I have something for you.
10:00 What's this for?
10:02 Well, seeing as she only spoke once, I wouldn't quite say that she's cured.
10:06 But I can help.
10:07 I work with children and their struggles.
10:09 I could accommodate for some type of speech therapy.
10:13 Yes.
10:17 It seems like someone likes the idea.
10:19 Well, listen, I'll have to run it by the way first, but it seems like a step in the right direction.
10:25 Let's get out of here.
10:29 And just like that, she was one step closer to being reunited.
10:40 Did you find her?
10:41 She spoke.
10:42 She said "Mommy."
10:43 She ran off and she bumped into some woman and she said "Mommy."
10:54 Is this exciting?
10:56 Yes, of course.
10:58 Did you find out who this woman was?
11:01 Some lady named Christine.
11:03 The best part is she offered to help her with her speaking problems.
11:06 That's great.
11:08 Well, I'd love to meet her sometime.
11:11 Great.
11:12 I'll try and arrange something.
11:21 Look, as much as I want to help my daughter, it's...
11:25 What you're asking for is unreasonable.
11:27 I can't kick Yvonne out of the house every time you're around.
11:30 She's my wife.
11:32 Look, I just don't want her to interfere with Samantha's learning.
11:36 Yeah, but asking her to leave when you're around is too much.
11:40 You saw what she did last time.
11:42 She yelled at me and she kicked me out of the house.
11:45 I understand.
11:46 But there has to be another way.
11:48 What other way?
11:50 Well, how about if I give you my word, I promise you that she won't interfere anymore?
11:55 And what if she does?
11:59 I've given you my word.
12:03 I'll think about it.
12:16 You don't recognize me, do you?
12:19 Excuse me?
12:20 Oh, you must be Yvonne Blackwood.
12:24 I thought you might not recognize me, but I recognize you.
12:28 Because of the way Mr. Blackwood described you.
12:32 I'm Yvonne Summers.
12:33 I decided to keep my last name.
12:36 Nice to meet you, Miss...
12:39 Christine.
12:40 Christine Bailey.
12:42 Nice to meet you, Miss Bailey.
12:45 So, tell me, what is it that got my daughter talking?
12:49 All of the doctors said there was no cure for her speech impediment.
12:53 What do you have that these doctors don't?
12:56 The truth.
13:03 The truth.
13:07 Sorry, I don't follow.
13:09 Well, Miss Summers...
13:11 Oh, please, call me Yvonne.
13:13 Yvonne, the truth is what your child has isn't a medical condition.
13:18 What she has is selective speech vocalization.
13:23 It's involuntary and it's usually related to trauma.
13:27 But there's a fix.
13:29 How do you know all of this?
13:32 I have a little one of my own with a similar condition.
13:37 It took us a while to figure out what was going on, but--
13:40 That's amazing.
13:41 I can't wait for you to get started with Samantha.
13:45 Oh, I can't help you.
13:50 What do you mean?
13:52 What's the point of you being here?
13:54 Just because it worked on my son doesn't mean it's going to work on your daughter.
13:58 I'm not an expert.
13:59 You're the only one who has figured it out.
14:02 Doctors have completely given up.
14:04 You're our only hope.
14:07 We'll pay you whatever you want.
14:09 It's not about the money.
14:12 What if it doesn't work?
14:13 I'm not asking that it works.
14:15 I'm asking that you try.
14:18 Please, Yvonne.
14:19 You're a parent.
14:21 This is my only child.
14:22 She means the world to Samuel and I.
14:25 And what happens if it doesn't work?
14:27 Then we try another method.
14:31 Please, I am begging you.
14:35 Okay.
14:36 Okay, I'll do it.
14:39 On one condition.
14:44 That condition is that I can bring my son.
14:48 This will help Samantha learn faster and hopefully get her talking quicker.
14:55 Of course.
14:57 Your son is welcome in our home any time.
15:00 And please, think of my daughter as your daughter.
15:04 My daughter?
15:06 Like, feel free to try any techniques with her.
15:09 Spend as much time with her as you need.
15:11 Right, of course.
15:13 You have no idea how grateful I am that we found you.
15:19 I can't wait until you start teaching my daughter.
15:23 You mean my daughter.
15:25 Right, of course.
15:33 You were able to get her to say yes just like that?
15:36 Of course.
15:38 But it took a lot of convincing.
15:40 Well, I'm glad you were able to convince her.
15:42 Yeah, it wasn't easy.
15:44 She's also asking for way too much money.
15:46 I mean, anything our daughter needs.
15:49 But she's asking more than what most of the specialists in this country ask for.
15:53 I say that we try it out, and if it works, we negotiate her down to 50%.
16:00 Yvonne, that's terrible.
16:02 No, we have the money.
16:04 We don't need to play games like this.
16:06 But she's not even--
16:07 I don't know. We'll pay her what we agreed to pay her.
16:20 I don't understand.
16:22 Why are you here if you're not working with her directly?
16:26 It's important for me to understand Samantha's surroundings.
16:30 What she does on a day-to-day basis.
16:33 Who she interacts with.
16:35 What her environment's like.
16:37 What does that have to do with figuring out why she isn't able to talk?
16:42 It's not that Samantha's not able to talk.
16:46 It's that she doesn't want to talk.
16:49 And I need to figure out why.
16:51 Are you suggesting that we're the reason our daughter doesn't want to talk?
16:55 I'm not saying that at all.
16:57 That is incredibly disrespectful.
16:59 You are a con artist. Get out of my house.
17:02 Yvonne, I--
17:03 I said get out!
17:20 You kicked out our only hope?
17:22 The only hope we had at getting our daughter to speak?
17:26 She's a con artist.
17:29 She's not going to help.
17:31 I can help our daughter.
17:32 What are you talking about?
17:34 We tried everything. Everything.
17:36 And you kicked her out on day one.
17:38 No, I get a bad feeling from her.
17:42 Look, I understand.
17:44 Samantha called her mommy before you.
17:46 I get it.
17:48 But we need to take baby steps and we need our daughter to talk.
17:53 Okay, so what are we going to do?
17:57 I'll call her and see if she's willing to come back.
18:00 Maybe you can offer her more money.
18:03 How about you let me handle it?
18:04 You sure?
18:06 Yes.
18:07 Please just stay out of it.
18:20 I'm surprised you called.
18:22 Look, I have to apologize for the--for the both of us.
18:27 I think Yvonne was out of line and she misunderstood the situation.
18:32 You don't say.
18:36 I hate to leave things how we did, you know, all so suddenly.
18:40 In my business, when you see potential, you make a leap of faith and you go for it.
18:44 Maybe you should chat with Yvonne again.
18:47 You know, maybe we both started off on the wrong foot and can try to work things out.
18:52 Let's arrange another day for you to come by and we can forget the other day even happened.
18:57 Okay, sounds good.
19:14 I don't want to keep doing this, Yvonne.
19:17 Doing what?
19:19 Not trying to make cover-ups, not trying to talk people back into our lives.
19:25 We're trying to have a normal life here.
19:28 You said you wanted me to stay out of it.
19:31 After you almost gave up our only chance at helping our daughter.
19:35 I said that I was willing to try.
19:38 Do you even care?
19:39 Do you think I don't?
19:42 Listen, she's going to give us another chance.
19:45 I want you to try.
19:48 I'll try.
19:50 Great.
19:51 I'll let her know.
20:03 Samuel.
20:05 Did you give it some thought?
20:08 I did.
20:09 Did you?
20:11 Did I what?
20:14 Since we last spoke, did you give any more thought to what Yvonne said?
20:20 Listen, I am just trying to help and I don't think that she's doing what's best for your family.
20:31 What do you mean?
20:34 She's just jealous that Samantha only talks when she's not around and she's manipulating everybody to be the bad guy.
20:45 Well, I personally can't see that happening.
20:49 I know.
20:51 But it adds up.
20:55 You just met me and all of this crazy stuff is happening in your life.
21:01 This just seems like more than a coincidence and she's frustrated.
21:07 I'll talk to her some more about it, but as I said before, she isn't going to interfere.
21:11 There's one more thing.
21:13 What is it?
21:14 Samantha.
21:17 She said something else.
21:25 Samantha?
21:27 Listen to me, sweetie.
21:29 I'm listening.
21:32 I know you've had a tough time with things, but you've had it pretty fortunate growing up in this big, beautiful house.
21:41 You've had everything you could ever want.
21:46 I just don't understand.
21:51 I want to help you.
21:53 I am your mother.
21:54 I've only ever wanted what's best for you.
21:58 I just wish...
22:00 I wish you could just tell me what's wrong.
22:05 [Muffled]
22:08 Samantha?
22:09 [Muffled]
22:14 You're dead.
22:27 What do you mean you don't want me to interfere?
22:29 She is my daughter.
22:31 Our daughter.
22:33 And she isn't talking right now.
22:34 We need her to speak.
22:36 And Christine's our only hope with that.
22:38 And you already pushed her away once.
22:40 I didn't mean that.
22:42 I was just emotional.
22:45 She is my daughter.
22:47 I am her mom.
22:49 Why won't she call me mom?
22:51 Ron, this isn't the time to get emotional.
22:54 It's the time to be smart.
22:56 Let's just let this woman try and help Samantha.
22:59 Please.
23:01 I know you want this as much as I do.
23:03 I do.
23:05 But at what cost?
23:07 I'm going to lose my daughter.
23:09 What?
23:10 You're not going to lose her.
23:12 How do you know?
23:14 Because it doesn't matter who she calls mommy.
23:16 She's our daughter.
23:21 Let's just try this again.
23:23 Properly.
23:25 Okay.
23:27 Only for you.
23:29 [Silence]
