00:00This is Steven.
00:02Hello, Steven.
00:04Who is this?
00:06I have some information regarding Mr. Hopkins' death.
00:08What do you know?
00:10Who is this?
00:12Happy to tell you.
00:14If you're willing to pay for it.
00:16Yes. Of course. Any price.
00:18Next week.
00:20Meet me at Grand Central Station.
00:22How will I find you?
00:24You'll know.
00:26But how?
00:28Pleasure doing business with you.
00:30Especially when it hurts Lisa Hopkins.
00:32Who is this?
00:38Who was the mysterious man on the phone?
00:42What evidence did he have against Lisa Hopkins?
00:44Why did he hate her as much as I did?
00:48It is my birthday for crying out loud.
00:50Unless the two of you are going to tell me
00:52that you're getting a divorce,
00:54I don't want to hear anything.
00:56You're forcing him!
00:58Believe it or not, not everybody marries for money.
01:00Some people marry for love, like us.
01:04One day I'm going to make my loving wife Carrie proud.
01:06But today it was her
01:08hateful grandmother, Lisa's day.
01:10If you want the money,
01:12you kneel and beg for it.
01:14And I'll get it to you.
01:18What?
01:20You heard me.
01:22Kneel. Beg.
01:26Beg.
01:30Please, Lisa.
01:34I know you think I'm worthless.
01:36Maybe I am.
01:38But none of that matters.
01:40Miss Jane is about to die.
01:42And I will do anything I can to help her.
01:44Please help me.
01:46Please.
01:48I'll give you the money.
01:52And you can pay me back
01:54by divorcing my granddaughter.
01:58How dare you interfere in my life!
02:00Someone has to.
02:08We won't let anything happen to Miss Jane.
02:10And I'll go visit her now.
02:12I'm here to see Jane Goodwin, please.
02:14Can I see some ID, please?
02:16Please.
02:22I'm sorry.
02:24I'm afraid she's been moved, sir.
02:26Moved? Where?
02:28She's been moved to another hospital.
02:30I'll write the address down for you.
02:32But I was just told a few hours ago
02:34that she was to have surgery,
02:36not that she was being moved.
02:38Actually, it says that her condition got worse.
02:40And her surgery will now cost
02:42almost three million dollars.
02:44Yes.
02:48But it says
02:50here that the bill has already
02:52been paid in full.
02:54What?
02:56I don't have three million dollars. There's no way.
02:58The benefactor who paid her
03:00medical expenses is the one who had her
03:02moved to the new facility.
03:04But who paid for it?
03:06That's confidential. I'm sorry.
03:08I suggest going to this new hospital
03:10and asking them.
03:12Okay.
03:14Thanks.
03:18Steven.
03:20Don't be afraid, sir.
03:22My name is Sean Drake.
03:24We met before, a long time ago.
03:30I know you.
03:32My parents are dead
03:34because of you.
03:36Sir, please.
03:38You insisted they drive across the country.
03:40They were so concerned with making good time.
03:42They fell asleep at the wheel.
03:44They never even saw that truck that hit them.
03:48I was thrown into an orphanage after that, and that's all your fault.
03:50Why are you here?
03:52Are you stalking me? You've got some nerve.
03:54It's about your family, sir. Your real family.
03:56My real family is dead
03:58because of you. Didn't you hear what I said?
04:00Your grandfather, sir.
04:02He sent me. Excuse me?
04:04My grandfather?
04:06He didn't know what orphanage you were sent to.
04:08He couldn't find you
04:10despite how hard he tried.
04:12It seems the files were lost.
04:14Why now? Why did no one come find me after all these years?
04:16He tried, Steven, for years.
04:18He tried every avenue.
04:20He had a team of experts looking everywhere,
04:22using AI to age your likeness
04:24by 20 years to track you down.
04:26Who is my grandfather, then?
04:28Mr. Winston Gemsworth. He'll be overjoyed to hear the news.
04:30Winston Gemsworth
04:32is my grandfather.
04:34One of the richest men in the world
04:36is my grandfather. He's the one that paid for
04:38Miss Jane's treatment and had her moved to another hospital.
04:40Look, he wants to see you now.
04:42Let's go. He'll explain everything more.
04:54Steven.
04:56Mr. Gemsworth. Oh.
04:58Please don't call me that.
05:00You're my grandson.
05:02Oh.
05:04How long I've looked for you.
05:06All my prayers
05:08have finally been answered.
05:10You look just like your father.
05:12I do?
05:14You do.
05:16Do you, uh, remember him?
05:18No.
05:20And yes.
05:22Nothing makes sense.
05:24I can't remember his face
05:26or mom's.
05:28It's all right, my child.
05:30It was many years ago.
05:32You were quite young.
05:34I'm sorry we left you alone for so long.
05:36Come.
05:38We have much to catch up on.
05:40Winston shared stories about my parents
05:42while I told him about my life.
05:44I couldn't believe I finally had family
05:46of my own.
05:48Have you heard
05:50of the Sterling Group? Of course.
05:52It's impossible not to if you live in New York.
05:54Well, as of this afternoon,
05:56I own it. You do?
05:58Indeed.
06:00And if you accept,
06:02I'd like you to be president.
06:04You want me to be what?
06:06You heard me. Do you accept?
06:08Of course I do.
06:10Great.
06:12Sign here.
06:14You start tomorrow.
06:16Stephen, where are you?
06:18It's a long story, Carrie.
06:20But the good news is,
06:22everything's going to be okay.
06:24What do you mean, everything's going to be okay?
06:26I don't know, but you have to trust me on this.
06:28Everything is taken care of. We're going to be okay.
06:30You, me,
06:32Miss Jane.
06:34It's all going to work out.
06:36I'm right.
06:38It's just so hard to believe.
06:40I'm handling everything. Just give me a few days to get the details worked out,
06:42and I promise I will explain everything.
06:44We will finally be able to live
06:46outside your family's shadow.
06:48Okay.
06:50I trust you.
06:56Okay.
07:08Wait.
07:10What's this?
07:16Lisa Hopkins
07:18was
07:20suspected of hiring a
07:22hitman to take out
07:24her husband.
07:26I could not believe what I was reading.
07:28We were led to believe that Grandpa Hopkins died of natural causes.
07:30But these files held proof that that was not the case.
07:32Here it was in black and white.
07:34Lisa likely killed
07:36her husband to inherit
07:38his fortune.
07:40I have to tell Carrie about this.
07:42Then I realized
07:44I couldn't.
07:46Not until I knew more.
07:48I needed to get the facts straight.
07:50Information like this can ruin a family
07:52and a marriage.
08:02This is Steven.
08:04Hello, Steven.

08:10What do you know?
08:12Who is this?
08:14Happy to tell you.
08:16If you're willing to pay for it.
08:18Yes. Of course.
08:20Mike, meet me at Grand Central Station.
08:22How will I find you?
08:24You'll know.
08:26But how?
08:28Pleasure doing business with you.
