00:00Charlotte, where are you? The wedding ceremony has already started. Everyone's waiting for
00:13you. Why didn't you wake me up? I've been calling you dozens of times all morning. Charlotte,
00:19what's going on? Are you okay? I'll be right there. Dear friends and family, we're gathered
00:40here today to join Andrew Thompson and Charlotte Cooper in holy matrimony. Where have you been?
00:46Is everything okay? There's something I need to tell you. What's wrong, honey? How to be husband
00:58and wife. Tell me everything. Come on, it can't be that bad. Andrew, I slept with someone last night.
01:09You cheated on me on our wedding day? I thought it was you. You disgust me. Go home. Wedding's
01:28canceled. Charlotte, where are you? The wedding ceremony has already started. Everyone's waiting
01:51for you. Why didn't you wake me up? I've been calling you dozens of times all morning. Charlotte,
01:58what's going on? Are you okay? I'll be right there. Dear friends and family, we're gathered
02:19here today to join Andrew Thompson and Charlotte Cooper in holy matrimony. Where have you been?
02:25Is everything okay? There's something I need to tell you. What's wrong, honey? How to be husband
02:37and wife. Tell me everything. Come on, it can't be that bad. Andrew, I slept with someone last
02:47night. You cheated on me on our wedding day? I thought it was you. You disgust me. Go home.
03:09Wedding's canceled. Oh my god, dad, calm down. I swear I didn't know the man last night wasn't
03:24Andrew. Someone had to have set me up. You ruined your engagement, whether it was your fault or not.
03:30You know how bad things are? You might have ruined the business deal with the Thompson's.
03:34I just lost my chance at lifelong happiness, and all you care about is a business deal.
03:39Don't get upset at Charlotte. I mean, she's still your daughter. Enough.
03:43She's disgraced us for the last time. Charlotte, go get your things. Dad, what are you talking about?
03:49Don't call me that. Father-daughter relationship is over as of right now. Go get your things. Go.
03:55Sir, I've reviewed the hotel security cameras, but it looks like someone wiped your floor's footage
04:07in between 11 p.m. and midnight. Are you trying to say that someone tried to set me up?
04:13What about the girl that came to my hotel room last night? We can't confirm if you were the
04:17target, sir. The eldest son of the Thompson family was having his bachelor party at the hotel,
04:22so an escort just came, and it could have been one of them.
04:30Oh, and Charlotte, I forgot to tell you something. It was all me, slut.
04:37Yes, what are you talking about? Honestly, it was too easy. I just found a drunk stranger
04:43at the hotel bar, and then I stole his room card, and then I accidentally sent you to his room.
04:52Oh, I was just wondering if you'd like to play a video game or something.
04:56How could you do this to me?
05:00Because I don't know anything, Drew. I don't know anyone else.
05:08Wait, let me out.
05:13Over the years, I've been abroad until my father suddenly told me to come back half a month ago.
05:18Fortunately, I'm not alone anymore.
05:22Roman, how many times have I told you don't wander off without me?
05:26Sorry, mommy.
05:28It's okay. I'm not trying to scold you. It's just dangerous wandering off without me, okay?
05:33Isn't this your home?
05:36This was my home. It's not anymore. You're my only family. Wherever you are, that's home.
05:42Will we still get to see daddy this time? Then we can finally be a real family.
05:48If only I knew who he is. Let's go.
05:57Excuse me. Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, ma'am. Thank you.
06:04Hey, what are you doing? We've been waiting here forever. You can't just cut in line.
06:07How much you want? You want money? How much you want for the cab? 500 bucks?
06:12Are you serious? You want a thousand?
06:14Here you go. Take the money and just grab it.
06:22Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?
06:25What the hell? Let me go.
06:26Don't disrespect me like that. That's my money.
06:30Daddy.
06:30I'm not your dad, kid. Okay?
06:32Get out of the way. Roman, come on. Let's go.
06:35See you later, dad.
06:36Go, please.
06:40I want you to find out as much as you can about that girl.
06:43Yes, sir.
06:45Hold that cab.
06:57Andrew?
06:58Charlotte. It's been a while.
07:03You've changed a lot. What are you doing here?
07:07Honey, who is it? Oh, my God, Charlotte, you're here.
07:12Good. After all these years, you finally decided to show up.
07:16I missed you so much. Wait, who's the kid?
07:23Oh, you've got to be joking. Don't tell me you got pregnant from that one-night stand.
07:28You gave birth to it? Ew.
07:32Watch it. If you say something like that again, I'll make you wish you were never born.
07:36Forget it, babe. Let's go back inside.
07:42Wait. You two are...
07:45Oh, daddy didn't tell you? Andrew and I are engaged. The wedding's this weekend.
07:52Didn't tell you? Andrew and I are engaged. The wedding's this weekend.
07:58Congratulations. You two truly deserve each other.
08:03Is she here?
08:04Yes, daddy. Well, we should get inside before daddy gets mad.
08:10You wouldn't want that, right?
08:19What did you bring in?
08:20Roman is my son. Of course I would take him with me.
08:24She's right, daddy. I mean, that is your grandson over there.
08:30Never accept the bastards as my grandson.
08:33How could you say that? If you weren't going to welcome us, then why call us back here at all?
08:37This weekend is Vanessa and Andrew's engagement party.
08:41I also plan on announcing Vanessa as the new Cooper heir.
08:45I thought you should be here for that.
08:48Not with a child.
08:50Well, the next time something like this happens,
08:52just delete my number and save us both the time.
08:55Goodbye, and hopefully we never see either of you again.
08:58Let's go, Roman.
08:59Charlotte Cooper, 30 years old, eldest daughter of the Cooper family.
09:03Ten years ago, her father, Bruce Cooper, kicked her out of the family
09:07because of some sort of a scandal.
09:10I mean, she's been working as a fashion...
09:12Hold on, hold on. Did you just say that there was a scandal ten years ago?
09:17Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
09:19Did you say that there's a scandal ten years ago?
09:22Yes, sir. The records show here that Charlotte Cooper
09:26Yes, sir. The records show here that Charlotte Cooper
09:29left the country ten years ago following a scandal.
09:32I was exposed to Andrew Thompson's wedding.
09:34How do you see that?
09:36She's been abroad ever since.
09:39You know, there's something familiar about this girl.
09:41Like what?
09:43Nothing.
09:46Thank you, sir.
09:48Keep digging. I want to know what else you can find out about this girl.
09:56Shoot. I forgot to exchange money.
10:02I'm sorry, honey. This is all Mommy has.
10:05Don't worry, Mommy. It's enough.
10:15Mommy, the nice ice cream lady gave me an extra one.
10:20That's so sweet. Did you say thank you?
10:25Excuse me, mister. You dropped your ring.
10:40You dropped your ring.
10:43It's you. Did you steal it, you filthy brat?
10:47Andrew! No, I didn't.
10:49How could you say that? Roman didn't do anything.
10:51He knows it is hard whether he did it or not.
10:54You really have no shame, huh, Charlotte?
10:56Aren't you embarrassed dragging around this stealing bastard with you everywhere?
11:03You say that again, I swear.
11:06Did I call him wrong? I mean, it's true.
11:09He's nothing but a filthy little bastard.
11:13Are you out of your damn mind?
11:16Oh, my God! Barking and biting like a rabid dog.
11:20What kind of parent raises their child like that?
11:22Don't blame the kid. Raised without a father.
11:25No wonder he doesn't have a name.
11:29Honey! Hey. Hi, sweetheart.
11:34You all right? You all right?
11:39Huh? Hey, buddy.
11:41Hi, Daddy. You good?
11:42I'm sorry, guys. I had to take a phone call from the embassy reporter.
11:45Oh, my God. They just keep pestering me for an interview.
11:48Oh, they blow my mind. Did I miss something?
11:51No, honey. They just wanted some money for the bus.
11:56No, guys, I'm so sorry. I don't have any money.
11:59But if you guys need a ride, we can take you for a ride in our new Porsche.
12:07Thank you so much. I'm Charlotte.
12:09I only did that because I don't like seeing kids being pestered.
12:12Okay, but what kind of parent gives their kid only ice cream?
12:16And where's the kid's father?
12:17I mean, what kind of father leaves their kid with someone like you?
12:22Are you serious?
12:33Are you really going to treat somebody like that that just saved your life?
12:36I'm grateful for your help, but no one tells me how to raise my son.
12:39Let's go, Robert.
12:41All right. We'll see him.
12:43Don't worry.
12:44All right.
12:45Stop.
12:52Luckily, I still have one last refuge in this world.
12:59Oh, my God, Charlotte, my sweetheart.
13:02Where have you been?
13:05Hi, I'm Roman.
13:06Hi, Roman, sweetie. So good to see you.
13:09You guys, come on in.
13:10So good to have you back.
13:13You need a wing.
13:14Here you go.
13:15Oh, so how's he doing in school?
13:17Amazing. He's great.
13:19Good.
13:21Slow down, child.
13:24OK, I'm going to go outside.
13:26Oh, OK.
13:30Thank you so much for all of this.
13:33Honey, I'm your godmother.
13:35I should be conjuring up glass slippers and pumpkin carriages for you.
13:41Oh, you know what that reminds me?
13:43Wait here a moment.
13:47So I heard about Andrew and Vanessa's engagement party this weekend.
13:52I'd really rather not go.
13:54I think I just want to cut off all contact with them.
13:57Charlotte, living well is the best revenge.
14:01And those who wish ill upon you, that's the right thing.
14:06You know what?
14:07Open the box and give them a sight to behold.
14:15You're going to be beautiful.
14:22Excuse me, ma'am.
14:23May I see your invitation, ma'am?
14:25What invitation?
14:27I'm sorry.
14:29No invitation.
14:30You can't enter.
14:32Listen, I didn't even want to come here tonight.
14:34Your host is the one that invited me.
14:35And if he doesn't see me, it's going to be a big problem for you.
14:39Rules are rules.
14:40No invitation, no entry.
14:46Daddy!
14:47I didn't expect to see you here.
14:49Well, I'm invited.
14:53We forgot our invitation.
14:55Do you think you could help us in?
14:58Of course.
14:59But you're going to have to beg me.
15:06You're going to have to beg me.
15:09OK, please, will you help us get in?
15:14Will you help us get in?
15:16Mr...
15:17Ethan Wright.
15:19Please, Mr. Wright.
15:20Will you help us?
15:22Sure.
15:23But just to be clear, I'm only doing it for the kid.
15:27Of course.
15:32There you go.
15:35I'm sorry, Mr. Wright.
15:37Enjoy.
15:43Pretty dress.
15:46Thank you so much.
15:47And thank you for coming, really.
15:52I heard Galaxy Net Media's CEO, Ethan Wright, is in town.
15:56So I asked someone to send him an invitation.
16:00Do you think he'll come?
16:01Ethan Wright.
16:03I've never heard of him attending private events.
16:06What makes you think an ice king like that
16:08would want to come to our little engagement party?
16:10Is it hard to try?
16:12I mean, think about it.
16:13If he comes today, everyone will look up to us.
16:19That bitch.
16:23Oh, Charlotte.
16:24What a surprise to see you here.
16:27Didn't Daddy tell you not to bring the bastard?
16:30Well, I find your party just as sad and disgusting as you.
16:35That's why I brought some people that don't make me sick to look at.
16:39What are you laughing at?
16:42My apologies.
16:44I've never been to such a quaint little banquet before.
16:49Please, excuse my rudeness.
16:55This dress is a one-of-a-kind designer gown.
16:59Custom made for me in Italy.
17:01My dear sister, if you really didn't have anything suitable to wear for tonight,
17:05you could have borrowed something of mine.
17:08Well, nothing can be as bad as that out-of-season thing you're wearing.
17:12What's under that cloak you're too scared to take off?
17:16I bet it's something even more embarrassing.
17:21Something even more embarrassing.
17:25Not what you expected?
17:32I'm so sorry.
17:34I'm so sorry.
17:35Let me help you.
17:36Stop pulling my body, mean lady.
17:39My limited edition designer shoes.
17:42Get out of here, you little brat.
17:44Andrew, let him go.
17:46Oh, Andrew, don't blame the boy.
17:49After all, his mother is Charlotte.
17:54You know, the woman who slept around before her wedding day.
17:58Let go of the kid.
18:04Who the hell do you think you are?
18:06No one makes you think you can talk to me like that.
18:09Oh, I'm sorry.
18:11I must have not mentioned.
18:13I'm the kid's father.
18:17You can get lost too before I throw you out with him.
18:21What's going on here?
18:25What's going on here?
18:28Daddy, it was Charlotte.
18:29She was telling everyone that-
18:29Enough, enough.
18:31Can't you see we have an esteemed guest here?
18:32Mr. Miller doesn't want to hear this nonsense.
18:35Charlotte, come with me.
18:40Do you want to get some food?
18:45Sure.
18:53Charlotte, this is Starfield's CEO, Mr. Miller.
18:57Starfield's the biggest oil company in our state
18:59and a very important partner.
19:02It's nice to meet you, Mr. Miller.
19:03Nice to meet you too, Charlotte.
19:06You're just undeniably gorgeous, aren't you?
19:10Thank you.
19:12See, I had a feeling you two would be a great match.
19:15Dad, what is this all about?
19:18Behave yourself, Charlotte.
19:19It's all right, Bruce.
19:20No worries.
19:22Charlotte, I got myself a private room upstairs.
19:25Why don't you and I go get some coffee
19:27and get to know you a little better?
19:31Absolutely, Mr. Miller.
19:32Go on, Charlotte.
19:34Mommy, I see this really good cake over there.
19:38Do you want to go try with me?
19:40Mommy, Charlotte, is this your rug or hat?
19:42I can come to your room, Mr. Miller,
19:44as long as my son and my husband approve.
19:50Come on over here.
19:52Excuse me, gentlemen, but I'm afraid I tend to be the jealous type.
19:58As you heard, it looks like my husband isn't okay with it,
20:02so I'll have to decline your offer.
20:05This is a misunderstanding.
20:07She doesn't have a child.
20:08It's just technically just an important little bash.
20:11Dad, stop with the lies.
20:13Everyone here knows Roman is my son.
20:15Stop pretending like he isn't.
20:17What the hell is this?
20:19You're trying to make a fool out of me, huh?
20:20No, no, no.
20:21Joe, look, I would never do that.
20:23You know that.
20:24They're just a couple of hired actors.
20:28She's role-playing.
20:29It's just plain house.
20:30Fuck you, Bruce.
20:32Our deal's off.
20:33Pay your own goddamn debt yourself.
20:38Charlotte, I have had it with you.
20:42This is the last time you embarrass me.
20:45Go, go and apologize to Mr. Miller.
20:46Dad, are you crazy?
20:47Go!
20:50Mr. Wright.
20:54Wouldn't you like for me to get someone to clean up this mess?
20:57Did you just say Mr. Wright?
21:00Who are you, really?
21:01This is Ethan Wright, and he's the top 10 on Forbes Billionaire List,
21:09CEO of GalaxyNet, and, of course, Miss Charlotte Cooper's husband.
21:17My wife here came as a courtesy to enjoy her sister's engagement,
21:22but I'm sure she's not the only one.
21:25My wife here came as a courtesy to enjoy her sister's engagement,
21:30but unfortunately, instead of you thanking her for coming,
21:33you have completely embarrassed both of us
21:36by trying to get her to go to another man's room in front of our son.
21:39Do you care to explain?
21:43Do you care to explain?
21:46Mommy, did he hear that?
21:50I...
21:52Mr. Wright, if I may, I...
21:55obviously was not privy to all the ins and outs of what's happening here,
21:59and somebody didn't tell me they got married,
22:02so there's no way I was going to know that he was your son.
22:06It's impossible. He wasn't even the guy from that...
22:09What? Why don't you finish?
22:11I...
22:12Why don't you tell them how you framed me and ruined my peaceful life?
22:17Spit it out!
22:20Obviously just jealous of our happiness and speaking nonsense.
22:25It's...
22:27Honey?
22:31This is all your fault!
22:33Let's go.
22:39My son-in-law. Your son-in-law.
22:40Son, look, I can't apologize enough,
22:43and I can only hope that you find it in your heart to forgive,
22:47because I didn't know why I...
22:50I...
22:52Yes, you did make a mistake.
22:55You have absolutely embarrassed us.
22:57I do not appreciate how you have treated my family.
23:01Charlotte, let's get out of here.
23:03I mean, leave ourselves the filth.
23:06You're right, honey. Let's go.
23:12I don't like these people.
23:14It's not like I'm a strict thing, sweetheart.
23:21We could be partners and make a lot of money together.
23:32Hold on one sec.
23:33I'm just gonna call room service because I need to find new repairmen.
23:38Oh, um...
23:41What? Do I look weird?
23:45No. No, you... you look, uh...
23:47You look good.
23:58Um...
24:06What? What is it?
24:11Okay, let me ask you a question.
24:13What did they mean about you fooling around about your wedding 10 years ago, hmm?
24:16Ethan, let me go.
24:17Answer my question.
24:21Does he think I'm easy because of what Vanessa said?
24:30I'm sorry.
24:34I didn't mean to do that.
24:41I'm sorry.
24:43I should go.
24:46Okay.
24:50Roman, let's go.
24:55Rome?
24:58Are you here?
25:02Roman, where are you?
25:10Charlotte, I have Roman.
25:12You'll stay with me until you help us seal the deal with Ethan Wright.
25:16What's wrong with you, you monster?
25:18He's your grandson.
25:21Watch your mouth, my good daughter.
25:23Your son's safety is in your hands.
25:25If I were you, I'd start running.
25:28Wait, please let me talk to him first.
25:29Wait.
25:32Hello?
25:47Ryan, where is Ethan? I need to see him right now.
25:59I'm constantly repeating myself.
26:01I feel like a broken record.
26:04Ethan?
26:05Ethan, are you listening to me?
26:08Yeah, yeah.
26:09Then what did I say?
26:11That it's time to find a wife.
26:14And then I need to start thinking of an American family, but, well, I'm not.
26:18Exactly.
26:20Listen, I know you're busy, so I found some nice girls for you.
26:27Ethan, Ms. Charlotte Cooper is insisting on seeing you.
26:32She's at the front door right now.
26:36I'll be right back.
26:44Well, looks like I may actually have a daughter-in-law soon.
26:53It's time.
26:57Hi, I'm so sorry to bother you, but I really need your help.
26:59Okay, calm down.
27:00What happened?
27:01My father took Roman.
27:02You're the only person who can help me.
27:04What were his terms?
27:05You just have to pick the Coopers as your business partners.
27:08I'm sorry, but I've run out of all other options.
27:10Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you like this again.
27:13What's in it for me?
27:15I mean, listen, just because I've helped you out a couple times,
27:18it doesn't make me some automatic wish-granted genie, okay?
27:22Even genies take some sort of payment.
27:27What do you want to pay me?
27:29Whatever it takes.
27:32That you and your father are putting together?
27:33What, you're trying to bait me into believing there's some kid
27:36being held hostage?
27:37What, you just gained my sympathy?
27:39What do you mean?
27:40Listen, I've seen these dirty tricks happen way too many times.
27:44If your father wants to cut a deal with me,
27:46he can make me a deal that's going to impress me.
27:48Otherwise, no fucking deal.
27:51You really think that little of me?
27:54Fine, thanks for nothing.
28:02What's wrong?
28:03Nothing.
28:04Alfred, what's the problem?
28:07I'm just concerned.
28:09That you may regret your actions if, later, you find out
28:14you misjudged our love for this Cooper.
28:23Brian?
28:24Hello, Ethan.
28:25I need you to figure out if Roman's really being held hostage.
28:28Figure out if this is a trap set by the Coopers.
28:32Great.
28:39Daddy, are you sure this is safe?
28:41I mean, Ethan Wright's a very powerful man.
28:44He'll probably find that place easily.
28:47Don't worry, I've got my best men keeping watch.
28:49Plus, it's offshore.
28:51It's not as easy as you think.
28:52Offshore?
29:10Did you hear something?
29:12Relax, Dad.
29:13You're probably just on edge.
29:14Plus, our new locks won't let anyone get past the combo.
29:19You know, I bet Ethan Wright isn't even with Charlotte,
29:21or he'd be here by now.
29:24That bitch is probably on a show.
29:26Who knows what she offered him in return.
29:30Their relationship might be more complicated than it seems,
29:33but you might be able to take advantage of that.
29:40What?
29:42The men are on the move?
29:46Whose men?
29:47Ethan?
29:48There's no way.
29:49He made it very clear that he wasn't interested in helping.
29:53Well, put the order out and move the little bastard.
29:56Do it now.
29:57That doesn't sound good.
29:59If they move Roman, I bet they'll up the security.
30:02Then it'll be even harder to track him down.
30:05No, I have to go now.
30:09I'll see you later.
30:20Sweet daughter.
30:22Still up to your dirty little tricks, I see.
30:24You're not my father.
30:25You're a monster.
30:26Give me my son back.
30:30All this time, you haven't changed.
30:32You still have a bit of a temper, huh?
30:35Well, it's your hot shot husband that should be here begging to make a deal with me.
30:40I've already tried to convince him.
30:41There's nothing else I can do.
30:44He refused?
30:47I knew you weren't his wife.
30:51Oh my god, how dare you try to act like some what?
30:54High and mighty wife.
30:55Oh, you're going to cry?
31:05Hmm.
31:06Well, sweet child.
31:09Here now is your opportunity to make things right.
31:13Remember Mr. Miller?
31:14I know you do.
31:15He's quite fond of you.
31:17Why don't you two marry?
31:19And you can play your part in our family business.
31:24If you like him so much, why don't you marry him?
31:27Won't that be better for your family business?
31:30You keep saying no to me, and I won't be able to guarantee
31:33the safety of your little brat!
31:41Sir, our men have confirmed.
31:44Roman Cooper, he was kidnapped by his grandfather.
31:47He was last spotted at Andrew and Vanessa's engagement party.
31:51Could I really have misjudged you then?
