00:00Thanks, Dad.
00:01Liam, stop it.
00:03You can't just call someone Dad.
00:05Why not? It's him.
00:07Liam!
00:09It's him.
00:10Okay.
00:12To have a baby with a woman,
00:14she has to be at least a little bit attractive.
00:16And, uh, that's not your mom, kid.
00:21The irony is, and that child is sitting with them right now,
00:24but at this moment, neither he nor she knows this.
00:30The night before my wedding,
00:32my world shattered with a knock the next morning.
00:35Natalie!
00:37Nick, can you get the door?
00:39Natalie, are you in there?
00:46Nick?
00:50Whose room is this?
00:54But who's in there?
00:57I can't believe it.
00:59You cheated on me?
01:01The night before our wedding?
01:04Who are you?
01:07No, Nick, wait! Come back!
01:09Today I was supposed to marry Nick.
01:12What the hell, Natalie?
01:14How? How could you do that?
01:16Tom, try to remain calm.
01:18You've brought shame to yourself and our entire family.
01:22But please, it's not my fault.
01:25It's not my fault.
01:27How can you say that?
01:29You cheated on your fiancé the day before your wedding.
01:32Don't you dare say it's not your fault.
01:34God, how did I raise you to do that?
01:37Stop it. Stop it, okay?
01:39I'm sure she can explain what happened.
01:41Cheryl, do not interrupt your father.
01:44He's right.
01:46I always knew Natalie wouldn't grow up to be a decent person.
01:50My stepmother, Rosemary, she's never liked me.
01:54Why'd you do it?
01:56Was that man really better than me?
01:59No.
02:01No, of course not, Nick.
02:04I don't even know who that man was.
02:07I was just... I was really drunk.
02:10And when he came into the room, I thought it was you.
02:15What a load of crap.
02:17I mean, oh my God, do you actually believe that?
02:20He was right.
02:22It was really hard to believe.
02:24Nick, I love you.
02:27No.
02:29No, you don't.
02:36The wedding's off. Nick!
02:38Wait, calm down.
02:40Honey, don't go after him.
02:42You would have done the same.
02:44I need to talk to him.
02:49Cheryl, please help me.
02:51I need to figure this out.
02:53It's not my fault.
02:55Believe me, please.
02:57I believe you, honey. Of course I know you're innocent.
03:00Oh my God, sis, what a nightmare.
03:04Cheating on your fiancé the night before the wedding?
03:07I would have never pegged you for that.
03:09Cheryl, I don't understand.
03:12You set this up?
03:14How?
03:15It's really simple.
03:17You partied hard all day yesterday,
03:19and when you weren't looking,
03:21I put sleeping pills in your drinks.
03:23And then I led you to another room,
03:25and I told you that Nick was waiting for you,
03:27and you didn't even question it.
03:29I don't understand.
03:31Why did you do this to me?
03:34Because I want Nick.
03:37This is a shock.
03:39My stepsister is in love with my fiancé.
03:42I can't stand the thought of you being happy with him,
03:46I would do anything to have him.
03:52Stop it! Let go! You're hurting me!
03:54Girls! What's going on in here?
03:56Natalie, get off her! Are you crazy?
03:59But she... she set me up!
04:05How dare you accuse my daughter?
04:08You are just as vile as your mother was.
04:12But she just confessed to everything,
04:15right before you walked in.
04:17Why are you slandering me?
04:19We're sisters.
04:22Tom, do you hear what your daughter is saying?
04:26From now on, you're no longer my daughter.
04:29What?
04:31What do you mean?
04:33Dad...
04:34You disappointed me twice today.
04:37You're no longer worthy of this family.
04:41Pack your things and get out.
04:47That day, I lost everything.
04:52They kicked me out of the house
04:54and forced me to leave the country.
04:57My father told me I was no longer welcome.
05:01At that time, I was well aware of what I had gotten myself into.
05:06But one question kept nagging at me.
05:09Who was that man I was with that night?
05:12Wait, wait, wait. What did you say?
05:14Is this some sort of a joke?
05:15No, sir.
05:17Look, according to the security cameras,
05:19you were at the bar last night getting drunk
05:21and some girl put something in your wine.
05:23Look, you see that?
05:25Then you gave her your hotel key.
05:27Yeah.
05:29But instead of her, she brought another girl to your room.
05:32But being under the influence of those drugs,
05:35you weren't able to notice the switch.
05:37It looks like she acted according to a precise plan.
05:40So what do we do now?
05:42Now?
05:44Everything needs to be destroyed.
05:48If the media finds out about this,
05:50my company is finished.
05:53And I won't let that happen.
05:54I want you to go down to that hotel.
05:56I want you to destroy every shred of evidence that leads back to this.
06:00Do you understand me?
06:01I'll do that now, sir.
06:03What about the girl who was framed?
06:05Should we find her?
06:06No, no, no, no.
06:10Don't even think about her, okay?
06:12She is not our problem.
06:14Do you understand me?
06:15Just do what I told you.
06:22I just hope I never see her again.
06:26Five years have passed since everything happened.
06:29From the moment my family kicked me out until now,
06:32we haven't spoken to each other.
06:34But yesterday morning, my father called and said I had to come back.
06:38He didn't give me a reason.
06:40He just said it was urgent.
06:42And that's why we're here.
06:44Me and...
06:45Come on, Mom. The plane is going to leave without us.
06:48So what? We'll walk.
06:50It's only a couple thousand miles.
06:53It builds character, right?
06:55I found out I was pregnant with Liam after leaving the country.
06:59Despite being alone, I chose to keep him.
07:02He never knew his real father, but that was about to change.
07:06Here are your tickets.
07:11First class?
07:12Yes, so right there.
07:14Okay, seriously? First class for a kid?
07:17What is this, a plane or a daycare?
07:19I'm sorry.
07:22Never mind.
07:23Hey, Mike, exchange those tickets.
07:25I don't pay for expensive tickets to listen to some kid scream for six hours.
07:28My son is well-behaved.
07:30Well-behaved? Unlike some adults.
07:33Oh, yeah, because most three-year-olds are known for their good behavior.
07:37Actually, I'm four.
07:39Oh, really? Oh, wow.
07:42That's worse.
07:43Watch your tone with my child.
07:46Do you see the absurdity of the situation?
07:50At that moment, neither he nor I recognized each other at all,
07:54even though we had spent the night together five years ago.
07:58Are there any other flights today?
08:00Knowing this one fact about our night, it becomes 100% clear...
08:05Daddy?
08:07Liam.
08:08Daddy?
08:09...that this man, who is now cursing at my son, is his real father.
08:15What's the truth?
08:16Mom, it's the same mark as mine.
08:19Okay, yeah, no, that's a coincidence.
08:21Don't make a big deal of it, kid.
08:23Why'd you leave Mom and me?
08:25Liam, that's enough.
08:27I see what's going on here.
08:29Do you really think you're the first woman to parade a kid in front of me
08:32and have him say, oh, you're my father?
08:34That's pathetic.
08:36All you care about is my money.
08:38I didn't bring anyone to you.
08:40You're delusional.
08:42Okay, so he did this all on his own, huh?
08:45You know, I actually feel sorry for him.
08:49How would you even think about bringing a kid into this world
08:53with no hope of a stable family, huh?
08:55Look at this, Mike, look who we got here.
08:57Mother of the year.
09:03How dare you speak to me and my son like this?
09:06What gives you the right?
09:08You think because you're rich, you're better than me?
09:12Well, you're not.
09:14Come on, Liam.
09:16No woman had ever put Bryce in his place before.
09:20They were all infatuated by his strength and authority.
09:24At that moment, he was challenged for the first time.
09:28You okay?
09:30Oh, yeah. I'm good.
09:32There is another flight out of here.
09:34Should we take it?
09:35And he liked it.
09:37Oh, no, we're going with them.
09:39Are you sure?
09:43But a few hours later, none of this mattered.
09:46I finally returned to my hometown.
09:49My father didn't tell me why he invited me.
09:52Hey, Natalie, finally, we've been waiting for you.
09:55But soon I understood why.
09:59My stepsister and my ex-fiancé are getting married.
10:04And they had to come pick me up from the airport?
10:14Hey, mister, you dropped this.
10:18Did it drop or did you pull it?
10:20You're so young and you're already stealing.
10:23We are your parents.
10:25Liam would never take something from someone.
10:28He was just giving you back your wallet.
10:31Unless this is one of your ugly schemes.
10:34You fraud.
10:36Is this your son?
10:38Oh, my God.
10:40I can't believe it.
10:42Wait.
10:43Don't tell me you cheated on Nick.
10:45Had him after.
10:47That's just pathetic.
10:49You're raising him on your own.
10:51It's no wonder he's picking pockets.
10:54And that's what happens when you get pregnant on a whim.
10:58It was all very painful to hear.
11:00I couldn't believe that my stepsister and ex-fiancé,
11:04who had once sworn that he loved me,
11:06could now say such things.
11:09At that moment, I could not hold myself back.
11:14If you say that again, you'll get a second one.
11:18That goes for you, too, skank.
11:21How dare you?
11:22Do you think just because you're a woman I won't do anything to you?
11:27Don't touch my mom.
11:30What's wrong with you, kid? That hurt.
11:32You guys are bad people.
11:34It's your mom's fault that you have to grow up without a father.
11:37And you're calling us bad?
11:40Great parenting skills.
11:42Hey, sweetie.
11:44There you are.
11:46We were looking for you everywhere.
11:47I was getting worried.
11:49Dad!
11:50Hey, little man.
11:53Did you decide on lunch?
11:55Yes, darling.
11:56Liam wants pizza.
11:58How about Mario's?
12:00That's a great idea.
12:02Hey, Mike. Can I get the car?
12:03Right away.
12:04Thanks.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:10Who are you?
12:13These friends of yours, sweetie?
12:15No. I don't know them.
12:17They were just asking for money for a taxi.
12:20Do you have any?
12:22No.
12:24Not for them.
12:26Sorry.
12:27Nick and Cheryl couldn't believe it.
12:30Let's go get some pizza.
12:32From raising an illegitimate child to having a rich husband abroad,
12:36I'll never forget their faces.
12:39Thanks for your help.
12:40Yeah, those two are mean.
12:42I just didn't like what they were saying, that's all.
12:44Yeah, thanks, Dad.
12:46Liam, stop it.
12:48You can't just call someone Dad.
12:50Why not? It's him.
12:51Liam.
12:53It's him.
12:54Okay.
12:56To have a baby with a woman,
12:58she has to be at least a little bit attractive.
13:00And that's not your mom, kid.
13:06Stop the car.
13:08Stop the car, please.
13:11What?
13:13Are you mad at me now?
13:15Come on, Liam.
13:17The second time a woman put Bryce in his place,
13:21and both times, it was me.
13:26What the hell is this?
13:28It's for the ride.
13:29Thanks for your help.
13:31I hope I never see you again.
13:34There.
13:35Mike, did you see that?
13:37Crazy.
13:40Let's go.
13:42When we got out of Bryce's car,
13:44we didn't go to my father's mansion.
13:47We took a taxi to another place.
13:51Natalie, is that really him?
13:53Granny.
13:55I missed you so much.
13:57I'm so sorry.
13:59Natalie, I missed you so much.
14:03How much you must have endured.
14:06Turn your time away.
14:10Hello, sweetie.
14:12What's your name?
14:13Hi, I'm Liam.
14:15Come inside.
14:16Come in.
14:17You must be exhausted after your trip.
14:19Is it going through her brain?
14:21Where did it go?
14:23Of course, my grandmother was happy to see me.
14:26And she was just infatuated with Liam.
14:29She fell in love with him at first sight.
14:33A woman of her experience knew what to ask a person
14:37and what not to ask.
14:39That's why she didn't ask me where my son came from.
14:43Returning to the place of my childhood filled me with joy.
14:48Nothing could tarnish this idyllic feeling.
14:52Well, almost nothing.
14:57Hey again, sis.
14:59We knew we'd find you here.
15:01I don't think we have anything else to talk about.
15:04Please just leave me alone.
15:07Hold on.
15:11Look, we didn't exactly plan on coming here.
15:13Yeah, Daddy asked us to come and he wants to see you right away.
15:18But, of course, it's your call.
15:22On the way to the family mansion, none of us said a word.
15:27The house seemed to be the same as it was five years ago.
15:31But the people in it had changed.
15:37I couldn't look into their eyes anymore.
15:42Natalie, how are you?
15:45How is your flight?
15:47Are you hungry?
15:49Are you hungry?
15:50Say that.
15:51I know you don't like me.
15:53Is that a way to talk to your mother?
16:00Stepmother.
16:02Hi, Dad.
16:06I sent you out of the country to think about your behavior.
16:10Instead, you brought back a b****.
16:14Hi, I'm Liam.
16:16You will never be a Davidson.
16:18Daddy, calm down, okay?
16:20Don't be so angry.
16:22The kid is not the one to blame.
16:24Besides, he's your grandson.
16:27Of course she emphasized the word grandson.
16:31She knew that word would make my father even angrier.
16:34Don't you dare call him that!
16:36When they threw me out, I struggled to make ends meet.
16:40They never called once.
16:42Now they want to reject the one person who cares about me?
16:46Liam is my son.
16:49I don't care if you accept him or not.
16:52I only came back because you called me.
16:55I'll go to the engagement party.
16:58But I'm leaving as soon as it's over.
17:01You're expected at the wedding.
17:04But not with him.
17:06I forbid you to embarrass our family once again.
17:09After the wedding is over, you can leave once again.
17:13Fine.
17:15If that's what you want, Dad.
17:17At that moment, I felt nothing but disgust.
17:23It was great seeing you all.
17:25I wanted to leave the house I lived in for 20 years
17:28and return to my grandmother's.
17:30But as I made my exit...
17:32Natalie, wait!
17:33I was intercepted.
17:35What do you want?
17:37Did you come out here to insult me even more?
17:40Look, I gotta ask you something.
17:43You told me yesterday about Cheryl's...
17:45another ugly scheme.
17:47What? Seriously?
17:50I mean, what gives you the right to say that about her?
17:53You were the one that tried to deceive me behind my back.
17:56Are you done?
17:57Listen to me.
17:59Never bring up what happened back then.
18:01It was a setup.
18:03And you just walked away without asking a single question.
18:07After all those years together, you didn't trust me.
18:11During this time here, Nick hasn't taken his eyes off Liam.
18:15He clearly couldn't stop thinking about the man who was with me yesterday.
18:20So go be with Cheryl now.
18:23You both deserve each other.
18:26Wait, hold on, hold on.
18:28What do you mean you were set up?
18:30Natalie, answer me. What do you mean you were set up?
18:33Should Natalie tell Nick that Chloe is the one who separated them five years ago?
18:37Will Nick leave Chloe and return to Natalie?
18:40What will happen when Bryce finds out that Liam is his son?
18:43Will he accept Natalie and Liam?
