Short filmTranscript
00:00I found the photo on your phone.
00:03You're having an affair? Really, James?
00:06We've been drifting apart for a while, Alice. You know that.
00:09Fine. I'll sign the divorce papers, you arrogant bastard!
00:14I loved him to death, even in the face of our divorce.
00:18His infidelity with countless women didn't reduce the magnetic attraction I felt towards him.
00:24Yet, what happened afterwards was beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
00:30Alice, you're not pregnant with one baby. You're having four babies.
00:34I'm sorry, did you just say quadruplets?
00:37Yes.
00:41Are you ready to become a mother?
00:42Alice was not sure how she would raise four kids being a single mother,
00:46but she was sure she did not want them to be raised by a man like James.
00:51Yes, I am.
00:52We have a lot of different classes.
00:54But, in a way, this was a good way to rid herself of her ex and move on in life.
00:59This was surely a new happy beginning for her.
01:05Emergency C-section on the third floor, needed! Emergency C-section! On the third floor!
01:12Is she prepped?
01:13Yes.
01:14That's good. All right, here we go.
01:15No, wait.
01:16Okay. It's not going to take too long.
01:19Wait, wait.
01:20It's okay. Thank you.
01:22Wait, wait.
01:23Yeah.
01:27Okay. Hold that. Hold that right there.
01:30It's great. You're doing great.
01:32In the middle of her delivery, one of the doctors put an anesthesia on her leg,
01:36after which she faintly remembered hearing four cries and all memories were blurred.
01:43Wait, who are you? You're not my doctor.
01:45Congratulations, Alice. Both your twins are happy and healthy.
01:49You're mistaken. I had quadruplets. It's four babies.
01:53I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, Alice.
01:55But sadly, the other two children didn't survive the birth.
01:58That's impossible. I heard four different cries.
02:01You heard wrong. Now drop it.
02:04Focus on being a good mother to those two babies who survived.
02:08Alice found the situation suspicious. She could not keep her eyes open.
02:12She felt uneasy and out of control. The doctor was clearly up to something.
02:17Ten years later, she was at the top of her game.
02:20She lived in New York with her twins.
02:22She worked extremely hard to give them the best life.
02:25She made luxury perfumes and studied the biology of scents.
02:29Pack your bags, Alice. You are going to Paris.
02:32Are you serious? I've always wanted to go there.
02:35Extend your trip. Bring the family.
02:38They will be thrilled.
02:40The three of you are going to leave next week. And Alice, have fun.
02:47Hey, guess what, guys? We're going to Paris.
02:49We're going to Paris.
02:50We're going to Paris.
02:52This is awesome. Best mom ever.
02:54We're going to Paris.
02:56It was moments like this that made all the hard work worth it.
02:59She knew her kids were going to love this trip.
03:02But she had no idea what was going to happen in the next week.
03:10Okay, you two wait right here. And we need to check into the Hotel La Rose.
03:14And I need to call Fran to find out where we need to meet her.
03:23Okay, I have my phone. And then I just need to call Fran.
03:27Nate? Jenny? Excuse me.
03:31Do you parle anglais?
03:34Have you seen two kids, about ten years old, blonde hair, brown hair?
03:39Alice panicked.
03:41Alice panicked. She had never been separated from her kids before.
03:45That, too, in a new city where she did not know the language.
03:48Jenny?
03:49Hey.
03:50Fran, have you seen Nate and Jenny?
03:52No. Don't worry. We'll find them. Let's just split up, okay?
03:56Okay.
03:58Nate? Jenny?
04:01Her heart was pacing faster as she searched for her kids everywhere.
04:05When suddenly she saw them sitting in a corner.
04:08There they are, she thought.
04:10Little did she know it was not Nate and Jenny.
04:13Nate, Jenny, do not do that to me again. Not in a foreign country.
04:17She realized there was something different.
04:19The two looked at her very strangely.
04:21Did you guys change clothes? What happened to what you were wearing?
04:25All right. Fran is looking for you, and she is worried sick.
04:29I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you.
04:35Did you hear what I said? I asked who you were.
04:38Yes. I don't believe we know you.
04:44What is going on? Stop being ridiculous.
04:47One of you needs to tell me what is going on right now.
04:50If you're playing a practical joke on your poor mother,
04:52I will send you right back home, and we'll cancel this whole trip.
04:55The two kids looked at each other and decided to play along
04:58while they figured out what was happening.
05:00Sorry, mother. It was just a joke.
05:04Yes. Just a joke.
05:07Okay. Come on. Let's go find Fran, and please, no more weird jokes, okay?
05:12Alice still had some unsettling feeling, like she was missing something,
05:17while the two kids decided to go with her even though they had never met Alice.
05:23Excuse me. Have you seen two young children?
05:25They've been separated from their mother.
05:27A brown-haired boy and a blonde girl.
05:31Oh, thank you.
05:34Merci. Merci beaucoup.
05:37Les Américains.
05:39Nate! Jenny!
05:41We're here, Fran.
05:42Oh, hi. Wait, I just saw you over...
05:47And you changed your clothes, too. How did you manage that?
05:50What are you talking about, Fran? They've been back there the whole time.
05:54But I just saw them over there.
05:58What is going on with you two?
06:01First you play tricks on me, and now you're playing jokes on Fran?
06:04This is really unlike you.
06:06Just having a little fun is all.
06:09What Alice failed to realize was that these two kids were not Nate and Jenny,
06:13but Matt and Beth, her lost twins.
06:17Let's go, then.
06:21Hey, are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost.
06:26Yeah. Yeah, I was just...
06:28Suddenly she got flashbacks of her delivery.
06:31Could it be possible that her other two kids had survived and they were snatched from her?
06:36Fran, do you remember how I told you I lost two children during childbirth?
06:41Yeah, yeah, of course. So awful. I'm sorry.
06:46But what brings that up?
06:48She stopped herself from saying what she was thinking, or else Fran would think she was crazy.
06:53Nothing. Sorry. I think that long flight just got to my head.
06:57While Alice left with her other two twins, Nate and Jenny waited at the bus stop.
07:02We need to go find Mom. We should go back where we first got separated.
07:06Good idea.
07:08Hold it right there, kids. Your father should be here any minute.
07:11Our who?
07:12Father?
07:15Okay, what is going on?
07:17I don't know.
07:18But look.
07:21It was James, Alice's ex.
07:23Alice had told the two that their father was not a good person and never let them feel his absence.
07:29There you two are.
07:31How dare you run away from home like that?
07:34What do you have to say for yourself?
07:38Matthew, I'm waiting for an answer. Why did you guys run...
07:41Excuse me, sir. Sorry to interrupt here, but I need to get you back to Nanotech Towers.
07:46Tonight?
07:47Zeke, I can't be in a meeting right now. I have dinner with the kids.
07:50Okay, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
07:52Hey, what if we just take Matt and Beth to Nanotech Towers with us?
07:57This was the first time they were seeing their father.
08:00And at first thought he didn't seem that bad to them.
08:03So you guys finally got my attention.
08:05But after this dinner, we're going to talk all about what's happened.
08:08And you know what? You're going to tell me exactly why you ran away from home.
08:12Do you understand?
08:13I'm sure you made a mistake. We're not...
08:15Matthew! I have heard all of your excuses.
08:18No more. I'm your father. That's final.
08:27Is this man really our father?
08:29What if he is?
08:30We should go.
08:31Okay, fine. But tonight, we have to look for Mom.
08:35Jenny and Nate were curious about their dad.
08:38They wanted to know him better.
08:40While Matt and Beth were discussing how their father had told them that Alice died,
08:44shortly after giving birth to them, and someone left them at his doorstep.
08:48If so, then who was the woman with them?
08:53Alice?
08:55Alice, are you listening?
08:57Yeah, sorry.
08:59I just can't get over how strange Nate and Jenny are acting.
09:03It's like they're two completely different kids.
09:07And I can't stop thinking about the day I lost the other two babies.
09:12I think you're getting carried away.
09:14I mean, look at them.
09:18They're Nate and Jenny.
09:20And besides, wouldn't someone else around here be looking for two missing children if they weren't your kids?
09:25Yes, you're right.
09:27You're right. I'm acting crazy.
09:33Anyway, continue with the itinerary.
09:36So, as I was saying, you have dinner tonight with Sharon at Nanotech Tower.
09:40What? Nanotech?
09:43What's wrong now?
09:45Nanotech was James' company.
09:47She had read about his success online.
09:50He was now a multi-millionaire.
09:52She could not stop thinking about him and their past.
09:55But what were the odds that James would actually be there at the same time?
09:59Nothing's wrong. All good.
10:02On one end, Alice thought she was going crazy.
10:05But James was not even aware that ten years ago, she was going to have quadruplets.
10:10He thought she delivered twins and abandoned them at the hospital.
10:14Which is why he lied to Matt and Beth about the reality.
10:18Nate and Jenny reached Nanotech with their father.
10:21They had never seen such a beautiful view.
10:25Why do you guys look so excited?
10:27You've been here a million times.
10:31Okay, I need you guys on your best behavior.
10:33Okay, me and Zeke need to go over some documents.
10:35We're inquiring a new business venture.
10:37All right? I need to focus.
10:39Yes, Dad.
10:41Dad?
10:43You never call me Dad.
10:45Dad, um, I mean, Dad.
10:48Dad.
10:50Dad.
10:52Dad, um, I mean, Father.
10:54We need a note.
10:56Do you have a girlfriend?
11:00Oh, so you're left-handed now, Beth, hmm?
11:04And for my girlfriend, we both know I've been seeing Willa for some time now, okay?
11:09But that's my business. Not yours.
11:12But what about her real mom? About Alice?
11:14Okay, I have told you guys many times not to talk about your mother.
11:19Okay, she left us years ago, and she passed away not too long after that.
11:22End of story. Got it?
11:24Was James really unaware that Alice had not abandoned her kids at the hospital?
11:29They were snatched from her at birth.
11:34This is Willa now.
11:36I need to take this.
11:38Excuse me.
11:42Jenny and Nate panicked when they saw their mom enter the room.
11:47Look, Jenny. It's Mom.
11:53Hey.
11:55What are you guys doing?
11:57Um, nothing.
11:59Can we be excused to go to the bathroom, please?
12:01I guess.
12:03While Jenny and Nate left for the bathroom, Matt and Beth entered after Alice.
12:07Hey. Isn't this amazing, kids?
12:11Little did Alice know, these two had been there many times, as it was their father's company.
12:16They were worried he would catch him, and the repercussions would be brutal.
12:21Nate and Jenny followed James to hear his conversation with his girlfriend.
12:27Don't you dare go in the house, Willa. Do you hear me?
12:32Don't go in my house.
12:36There you all are.
12:39Hi.
12:42I know.
12:44Oh, my God. Nate and Jenny?
12:46You've grown so much since the last time I saw you both.
12:49Okay. Don't be shy. Give your godmother a hug.
12:53A pleasure to see you, godmother.
12:55My, my. Haven't you grown up to be so proper?
12:58It's a long story. It seems to be a practical joke.
13:03Well, I have to say, I'm surprised you said to dinner here, Fran.
13:06Now to text the company of Alice's ex.
13:09Oh, my God. This is James' company?
13:12It's okay, Fran. You didn't know.
13:14Let's hope we don't run into him, otherwise I'll have to punch him in the face.
13:19Don't listen to your godmother. She's had one too many cocktails.
13:23I haven't ordered yet.
13:26Mother, can we be excused for a moment? We want to take a look around.
13:31All right, but don't wander off too far.
13:33Thanks.
13:40Why was he so angry on the phone?
13:42Why didn't he want his girlfriend to go into the house?
13:44I don't know, but we have to get out of here.
13:49We need to get out of here. If father sees us, he'll be furious.
13:53Mom's going to see us.
13:56What the...
13:58Who are you?
14:01Uh, what is going on?
14:04No, don't mean to call the guards, Willa.
14:07This was the moment Alice saw James after ten whole years.
14:10Her biggest fear, coming face to face with her ex.
14:13Alice?
