00:00Oliver, please. I need to see her.
00:09After everything you did?
00:12My sister should be in France in a design competition. Instead-
00:17It wasn't me. I swear to you. How could you think I'd harm Annabelle over a competition?
00:23You really want to see her?
00:27Come on.
00:31Look.
00:35Look at what you did to my family.
00:40And you. You have destroyed everything.
00:46Why wasn't it you instead?
00:51Mrs. Blackwood, if I was just there on time, I swear, but I would never-
01:00Still excuses.
01:05Now you are nothing but a murderer.
01:10That's enough, Mom. I can handle this.
01:21Oh, Oliver.
01:25We all know Laura would never intentionally-
01:30Charlotte, stop acting like you care.
01:35Even now you won't admit to what you did.
01:40You're really turning against me because of her?
01:45I've done it before. But now I know exactly who you are.
01:50Oh, Oliver, please don't be too harsh on her.
01:55You better stay tonight.
02:00Maybe facing what you did will finally help you find some remorse.
02:10Laura? Oliver, what's happening?
02:14You two are getting married in a month.
02:18Not anymore.
02:22Mom, you can't be serious. Think of what this will do to both families.
02:27The Montgomery's will survive. As for Laura's side of the family, that's a different story.
02:34Half of Montgomery Corp is legally mine. My mom made sure of that. You can't-
02:40The engagement will continue. With Charlotte.
02:45With Charlotte?
02:50Victoria Quinn's illegitimate daughter?
02:55It doesn't matter.
03:00Oliver, may I have a moment alone with my...
03:05subsistence?
03:10Look at the mighty Laura Montgomery.
03:15Your best friend is dead.
03:20Your dad chose me.
03:25Oliver despises you. And your mom's been gone for what, 15 years?
03:31What's left?
03:36I mean, I still have a sister. But I guess you could destroy that, too.
03:48What are you doing?
03:53Charlotte.
03:59Help! Someone help! Please! Get your hand off me!
04:04I can do whatever I want now.
04:16Tell Harrison I want an airtight manslaughter case.
04:21Whatever it takes. And keep Oliver out of it.
04:29Oliver...
04:34You don't need Laura anymore.
04:39You have me.
04:44Charlotte, get out of my room.
04:49We both know that I am your father.
04:55We both know that I love you more than she ever did.
05:05I said get out of my room, Charlotte. Now.
05:25Ethan, I need my bedroom cleaned. Now.
05:30And I'm sleeping in the guest room.
05:35I want her gone, Eddie.
05:40Permanently.
05:45Consider it done, Miss Montgomery.
05:50Yes, girl. And absolutely don't forget that.
05:55Charlotte Montgomery is finally getting her black hood.
06:00What engagement? Charlotte and Oliver?
06:05Let go of me. Security!
06:10Some crazy woman just grabbed my arm.
06:15Just wait, Annabelle. I'll expose everything they did to us.
06:21Laura?
06:26Mr. Blackwood, did you say something?
06:31Nothing. What were we discussing?
06:36Mrs. Blackwood was asking when you're going to finalize the engagement venue.
06:41What?
06:46Mrs. Blackwood was asking when you're going to finalize the engagement venue with Charlotte Montgomery.
06:51Like I said before, I will marry her.
06:56But sir, your grandmother's will.
07:01She was explicit about the alliance between the families, the inheritance.
07:06Then donate it all. Give it away to charity.
07:11Check on the situation with Laura.
07:16She owes my family a debt that she can never repay.
07:21Laura Montgomery.
07:26Expelled three years ago. Manslaughter conviction.
07:31Academic records expunged. Who's calling?
07:37They've taken everything. My degree, my credentials.
07:49Another junkie wasting my time.
07:54$80,000.
07:59This ring is worth $200,000.
08:04I'm never even letting you in here.
08:09$70,000. Take it or leave.
08:14What if I had this?
08:19$80,000 for both. Do we have a deal?
08:34Investigation of what happened that year.
08:39First payment of $70,000 will be transferred soon.
08:44Sir.
08:49The intel on Laura Montgomery released four days ago.
08:54She's singing here now.
08:59There's talks about her and one of her managers.
09:06Give me all of the information on this manager. Every detail.
09:21She's rejected all the advances so far.
09:26Good. That's good.
09:31She sold her engagement ring.
09:41Leave. Now.
09:46Laura.
09:51Just who I wanted to see. Have a seat.
09:56Come on. Don't be shy. We're all family here.
10:01Speaking of which, do you live by yourself these days?
10:06It's not relevant to my work.
10:11My bad.
10:16I'll get it myself.
10:21What's the rush?
10:26Let go of me.
10:31Someone help!
10:41Oliver.
10:46Mr. Blackwood, I can explain.
10:51Why would I care about someone?
10:56After everything, you're just going to...
11:01You want to do this the easy way or the hard way?
11:06This is really how low you'd go for a paycheck?
11:11How long are you going to punish me?
11:16Three years, Oliver? Three years?
11:21Playing the victim doesn't suit you, Mom.
11:26You have no idea what I've been through.
11:31Every struggle, every humiliation, it's all because of you.
11:36Mr. Linden is requesting private company.
11:41You know my rule. There's no private meetings.
11:46He's a whale.
11:51Laura, don't be stupid.
11:56Don't worry, sweetheart.
12:01I'll make it worth your while.
12:06I don't recall giving you permission to touch what's mine.
12:11Blackwood.
12:16I am so sorry. I didn't realize.
12:21Take it.
12:26You have 24 hours to liquidate your assets and get out of my face.
12:41The George Corp merger is moving forward.
12:46His holdings, his debts, and his weaknesses.
12:51Consider it done.
12:56Oh, wait.
13:16Take me to Crescent.
13:21Sometimes you have to face your ghosts.
13:26I'm sorry.
13:31I'm sorry.
13:36I'm sorry.
13:41Sometimes you have to face your ghosts.
13:46Bring me Jack Warner now.
13:51And make sure the cameras in 405 are working.
13:56It is time for a show.
14:01Poor Jack.
14:06So chasing what you can't have.
14:11Whatever you need.
14:16I need you to remind Laura of her place.
14:21Room 405, do not disappear.
14:26You'll never guess who Jack's auditioning in 405.
14:31Looks like our resident ice queen's about to melt.
14:36What did you just say?
14:41Nothing.
14:46Tell me now.
14:51Get off.
14:56This is a private party.
15:01Hey.
15:06Are you okay?
15:11It's me.
15:16I got you.
15:21Do you think this changes anything?
15:26Get me Victoria now.
15:31It is time for plan B.
15:36Hey.
15:41Let me take care of you.
15:46Everyone thinks I'm a murderer.
15:51I don't.
15:56You're the only one.
16:01Something just isn't right about Annabelle's death.
16:06It wasn't an accident.
16:11It wasn't an accident and I can feel that.
16:16And my mom's estate, I should be fighting for it.
16:21But I'm too weak.
16:26I can't do anything right.
16:31You don't have to do this alone.
16:37There's a gap in your education history.
16:42No published portfolio.
16:47My work speaks for itself.
17:00I thought you might like this.
17:05You are such a thoughtful girl.
17:10Unlike my son who hasn't visited me for days.
17:15You still have me.
17:20I wouldn't want to force anything.
17:25If Oliver doesn't have any feelings for me.
17:30Don't say that.
17:35I heard Laura is working at Blackwood.
17:40That murderous little...
17:45Don't upset yourself.
17:50I will handle it.
17:55Oh my God, Oliver.
18:00Call, call.
18:05Hello, we need somebody in Blackwood Court parking lot.
18:10He's just been stabbed.
18:15Oliver, you're going to be okay.
18:20I'm so glad you're awake.
18:25She cried the whole way here, couldn't even speak.
18:30I'm already done.
18:35Discharge timeline?
18:40Week minimum, three months for recovery.
18:45You're awake.
18:50How bad is it?
18:55It's nothing.
19:00Why did you save me?
19:05You're my maid until I recover.
19:10I can't leave until the job's done.
19:15You're insane.
19:20I made you soup.
19:25When you're feeling better, we can go to that one Italian restaurant on East 23rd.
19:30I remember that one.
19:35Just drink the soup.
19:40I need to go.
19:45Go where? You're my caretaker now.
19:50Your only job is to take care of me.
19:55Right, your servant.
20:01Oliver!
20:06Mother, what are you doing here?
20:11You vicious little snake.
20:16You killed my daughter and now you're after my son?
20:21What did we do to deserve this?
20:27Funny, your son seemed pretty well...
20:32Please, leave.
20:37Mom, I can explain everything, it's not...
20:42Look at them, Oliver.
20:47This one killed your sister.
20:52Now choose.
20:57But if you pick this murder, do not ever call me mom again.
21:02Please, this isn't about you, mom.
21:07No, we need an answer today.
21:12I'll attend the engagement party next month.
21:17And you...
21:22Shameless whore!
21:27Mrs. Blackwood, please, don't upset yourself.
21:32You're the one that's been wronged here.
21:37But all I want is for Oliver to be happy.
21:42You're the daughter I deserve.
21:52Congratulations on passing the interview.
21:57Please report to Blackwood Corporation tomorrow at 9am.
22:02I'm going to uncover the truth about Annabelle.
22:07Sir, about Lord Montgomery's hiring...
22:12Should we terminate it?
22:17That was my decision.
22:22Have her come in at noon.
22:27Mr. Blackwood, I...
22:42What is this?
22:47My last meal before execution.
22:52I'm not fully recovered yet.
22:57Yes, the great Oliver Blackwood needs to be spoon-fed.
23:02Eat all of it.
23:07I can't.
23:12You promised me, Oliver.
23:17And now there are rumors everywhere.
23:22Laura...
23:27Yeah, she's pregnant.
23:32What does that have to do with you?
23:37I'm the father.
23:42I found something out about Annabelle. Meet me in the parking lot at 4pm.
23:47Okay, I'll see you there.
23:57Hey.
24:02What did you find out?
24:07The gang involved in Annabelle's assault? Not random.
24:12Instantly wealthy.
24:17I'm working on it.
24:22But everything has a connection.
24:27But one thing still never made sense. Why was Oliver so convinced I was involved?
24:32They found your sketchbook in one of the houses.
24:37My sketchbook? I mean, only a few people had access.
24:42Classmates, house staff, Annabelle, and him.
24:47Let's start with the others first.
24:52I got it. You worry about yourself. Both of you.
24:57I'm fine, Pierce. Really.
25:07Get your hands off me.
25:12Look at what you've become.
25:17I never hurt Annabelle. You know that.
25:22You think being with Pierce Seymour makes you untouchable?
25:27Try again.
25:32So you kiss me like this?
25:37Have you guys ever... Yes. We're together.
25:42Okay? I need to go to work.
25:55Ethan, I need the last three years of Laura's life now!
26:03Every incident links back to one person. Charlotte.
26:08Exactly. But Annabelle's attack? It's still unclear.
26:13You must be exhausted. The offer to join my corps still stands.
26:18I need to stay at Blackwood. But dinner later?
26:23Alright, fine. Dinner later.
26:28What are you doing here?
26:33We need to talk. Alone.
26:38He stays. What happened in prison?
26:43Laura, I... Does it matter now? Just let it go.
26:48Laura.
26:58You still love him?
27:03I'm sorry. I've been using you.
27:08I know.
27:13I'm okay with that.
27:18Here. I got you something.
27:28Pierce, this is... Your mother's secret will.
27:33She must have sensed something wasn't right back then, but you were too young.
27:38According to this, you own 32% of Montgomery Corporation shares.
27:43Thank you. Thank you for everything.
27:48I'm happy to do it. Always.
27:54Montgomery has been declining for years.
27:59I can't let them ruin my mom's legacy or risk it falling into the hands of my father and his mistress.
28:04My door's always open.
28:09If you need anything.
28:14Montgomery Corp?
28:19She's going back?
28:24Ethan, I need you to help me invest 5% of the shares at Montgomery Corp.
28:29Sir, I wouldn't advise investing in Montgomery Corp at this time.
28:34Just do it!
28:44Do you have an appointment?
28:49No, but you can call Mr. Montgomery for me.
28:54If you want to see Mr. Montgomery, look at yourself.
28:59Do you have eyes in your head at all?
29:04This is Laura Montgomery. Montgomery as in Montgomery Corporation.
29:09Oliver, what are you doing here?
29:14Mr. Blackwood, I...
29:19Your only job is to make sure you recognize your boss.
29:24Have fun job hunting.
29:29Ms. Montgomery, I'm so sorry. Mr. Blackwood, another chance, please.
29:34Are you really going to face Charles Montgomery right now?
29:39Just get out of my way.
29:44What are you trying to do? Take back Montgomery Corporation?
29:49Those people are vultures. They'll eat you alive.
29:54It's none of your business.
29:59Laura!
30:04Come to my office. Let me take a proper look at you.
30:09Where have you been?
30:14That bastard brother of mine has blocked everything.
30:19He even declared Charlotte as his only daughter.
30:24And I'm going to take back everything she stole.
30:29That's good. You're back. Whatever you need, just ask.
30:34And Janet, I want to take over Montgomery.
30:39Montgomery's a mess. Looks good on the outside. It's rotting on the inside.
30:44And with Blackwood gone, it's dead meat.
30:49But I understand. Just let me know what you need.
30:54Actually, I need you to call a shareholders meeting.
30:59In your name.
31:04Let's go in public.
31:09I'm here for business, not you.
31:14Did you hear what I said?
31:19You really need to think things through before jumping in.
31:24Laura, you already have a target on your back. You need to open your eyes to the real game here.
31:29Laura, don't risk what little you have for something you're pretty bad at.
31:34Janet?
31:39Why the sudden meeting?
31:44Right. Some of us have places to be.
31:49This company has been going downhill because of leeches like you.
31:54Janet, why is it so critical you had to bypass the chairman to call this meeting?
31:59Well, now that we're all here, I think it's time to vote for a new chairman.
32:05Aunt Janet is speaking for me.
32:10When did you get back? Why didn't you come see your daddy first?
32:15Really? I thought you only had one daughter, Charlotte Montgomery.
32:20Sweetheart, I had to just secure that alliance with the Blackwood family. That's all.
32:25Daddy still loves you?
32:31Well, I want to be chairman of Montgomery and a loving father wouldn't get in my way.
32:36That's nonsense.
32:41Open up your damn eyes and take a good look.
32:46Do I qualify now?
32:51This can't be. That's impossible.
32:56Ignore it all you want. I've already completed the share transfer.
33:01Even with that, our combined shares still outnumber yours.
33:06True, but Montgomery's been declining for years and I think we all know why.
33:11So, do you want a quick profit or do you want to revitalize Montgomery and increase share value again?
33:16Easier said than done.
33:21Not to mention, dearest daughter, dare you tell them where you've been?
33:26Embarrassing the Blackwood family? Implicating Nine-O-Bell's death?
33:31How were your prison days?
33:36I agree with Ms. Montgomery taking over.
33:41Are you kidding me?
33:46Mr. Blackwood, Ms. Montgomery has successfully taken over.
33:51Good. Just make sure Laura doesn't find out.
33:56Is Oliver the one helping me?
34:01Now that Laura's taken that position, Charlotte, we've got to move fast.
34:06They're close to finding out about us.
34:11No more waiting. We do it tonight.
34:16Laura Montgomery must die.
34:31Let's talk.
34:36Okay.
34:55Laura? Laura! Oh my God! Are you...
35:00Stay with me. Stay with me. It's okay.
35:06It's Laura. It's okay, Laura. Oh God. Yes! Yes! We have an emergency! I need help!
35:11It's okay. It's gonna be okay.
35:16Hurry!
35:21Where am I?
35:26You're at the hospital.
35:31I'm sorry.
35:36I've never seen him look so wrecked.
35:41Laura.
35:46What are you doing here?
35:51I'm her boyfriend.
35:56You're free to stay out of it from now on.
36:01I owe you one.
36:06Why would I need anything from you?
36:11While we're at it, when did you guys start dating?
36:16Oliver, who I'm with isn't your concern.
36:21Watch your mouth.
36:26And stay away from Laura.
36:31Did you know that she's pregnant?
36:36Stop.
36:41Laura and this child are none of your concern.
36:47Useless!
36:52How many times must we do this?
36:57How hard can it be to kill someone?
37:02I just want her dead.
37:07The engagement is a week away and they're about to find out everything I've done.
37:12You know something, Eddie?
37:17How many tasks have you ever actually accomplished?
37:22Miss, one more chance, please!
37:27No!
37:32This time, I'm going to take you into my own hands.
37:37I came to see you.
37:42So, I've heard you're with Piers Seymour now.
37:47I've always hated a superior attitude of yours.
37:52Ever since we were kids.
37:57What are you doing?
38:02And you showed up again.
38:07Maybe, if you were gone, I would finally get to live.
38:12Laura?
38:17I bet this knife has your DNA all over it.
38:22Charlotte!
38:27Oh my God! I got you, I got you!
38:32I'm not going to die.
38:37Doctor! Doctor! We need a doctor in here!
38:42This is your sister and you go this low?
38:47I wouldn't do that.
38:52All you do is disappoint me.
38:57Oliver, my own sister tried to kill me.
39:02I'm so scared.
39:07Laura, she has Piers now.
39:12Why can't you leave me alone?
39:17I just, I like you.
39:22Is that so wrong?
39:27Charlotte, I won't be getting married to anybody.
39:32I have my reasons for everything.
39:37Janet's analysis confirms it.
39:42Charlotte was behind everything.
39:47But why?
39:52She wanted Oliver. She had no issues with Annabelle.
39:57She meant to target you.
40:03You were stuck in traffic.
40:08So Annabelle took the hit meant for me?
40:13I need to see Oliver. They need to know the truth.
40:18I'll go with you.
40:24Damn it!
40:29Why is Oliver here?
40:34Piers.
40:39Oh my god.
40:44I'm okay. I'm fine.
40:50We need an ambulance at hospital gate one.
40:55There's been a hit and run.
41:00Guys, that was Charlotte.
41:05Hello, I need to report a hit and run at Law City Hospital garage.
41:10The driver of the car was Charlotte Montgomery.
41:15Rape case?
41:20Mr. Seymour, you have a fracture in your leg.
41:25But your life isn't in danger.
41:30Thank you, doctor.
41:35See, I told you I was fine.
41:40Can I talk to you outside?
41:45Yeah, go ahead. I got everything I need in the car.
41:50It's all good.
42:00What's really going on with me?
42:05We found a tumor. Liver cancer.
42:14How long?
42:19One or two years, conservatively.
42:27Don't tell anybody about this.
42:32Especially not Laura.
42:37Please, doctor.
42:42Charlotte Montgomery is hereby sentenced to 17 years, 6 months for rape,
42:47false accusation, and attempted murder.
42:52No, it was Laura. She did everything. Arrest her.
42:57It was Eleanor.
43:02You always liked me best.
43:07You killed my daughter and have deceived me for years.
43:12I am your fiance. I am the Montgomery heiress.
43:17I did it all for you. You know I love you. You have to love me back.
43:23We need to talk.
43:28I thought I made it clear we don't owe each other anything.
43:33Laura.
43:38Let go. I have a boyfriend.
43:43Stop lying. You two aren't together.
43:48We already had. It's over.
43:53Just accept that not everything revolves around you.
43:58Teach me how to forget about you, then.
44:07You feel your heart racing.
44:12You still love me.
44:17Don't lose any more.
44:22I can't trust your love.
44:27When your hatred and assumptions put me in prison,
44:32did you really think we'd be here?
44:37I was wrong. And I'm sorry.
44:42I'm sorry.
44:47No.
44:52Laura, wait.
44:57Have you thought about everything you've been through?
45:02It's fine. Charlotte's been arrested.
45:07What if something dangerous happens to you again and I'm not there to protect you?
45:12Does it hurt?
45:17It's nothing. I have to go.
45:22Wait.
45:27Anymore?
45:32That's all.
45:37If you don't tell me, I'm just going to find out myself.
45:42Why don't you just move away?
45:47I'm scared.
45:52I don't feel like any of this is real.
45:57Don't be afraid.
46:02No one can take these things from you ever again.
46:07Laura, please give me a second chance.
46:17What do you want?
46:22Relax, all right? This is about Laura.
46:27Ten minutes.
46:32You're angry with her again, aren't you?
46:37Yeah, she's been down lately.
46:42Our issues don't need an outsider mingling. Focus on yourself.
46:47I have you. I do.
46:52The way you move her heart so easily.
46:57A glance or a word.
47:02And yet, nearly all of her pain
47:07comes from you.
47:12I have cancer.
47:17Liver cancer.
47:22Not much time.
47:27Before I die,
47:32I need to see her happy.
47:37I'm so sorry about your diagnosis.
47:42But you realize that you've been in between the both of us this whole time, right?
47:47I don't need you telling me what to do.
47:52The reason is because I've known you're the only person she's ever loved.
47:57Truly.
48:07But this is something I need to handle.
48:17It's been handled.
48:22Very well done.
48:27While you're at it, look into Luke Strong.
48:32He worked for the Montgomery's and vanished as soon as she left.
48:37Think you can handle it?
48:42We found Strong, sir.
48:47Working at a cashier at a casino on the outskirts.
48:52What are you doing here?
48:57I heard about Luke Strong.
49:02Nothing's confirmed, but as soon as I find out, I'll let you know.
49:07I want to go with you.
49:12Please, I don't know what I did wrong.
49:17Luke Strong. Born in Brooklyn.
49:22Name change to Mark Shepard.
49:27Two plastic surgeries in 13 years.
49:32Servant to Montgomery Company for 15!
49:37Why this sudden change of identity?
49:42I am not Luke Strong.
49:47Maybe your next words will be more honest.
49:52Okay, I'll talk.
49:57Ready now?
50:02On that day, I saw Mrs. Montgomery die.
50:07She didn't kill herself. It was Victoria.
50:12I tried to blackmail Victoria.
50:17I got my money, but then I almost died.
50:22She's been hunting me ever since.
50:27Proof?
50:32It's underneath my bed.
50:42Ethan, are you on location?
50:47It's under the bed.
50:52Get it!
50:57Whatever you decide, I'm with you.
51:02I want Victoria to pay for my mother's death.
51:19Oh, Oliver, you're here.
51:24Where's Victoria Quinn?
51:29Hey, how can you speak that way? She's still your mother.
51:34Funny you mention mothers. I'm here about mine.
51:39Did she really kill herself from depression?
51:44Listen, you need to listen to your father. Why would I lie to you?
51:49This is not real.
51:54Originals from 15 years ago.
51:59What's this commotion?
52:04What's this commotion?
52:09Laura, take my advice.
52:14Respect and apologize to your father.
52:19Victoria, you whore.
52:24I have always treated you like my own daughter.
52:29Willing to do anything for you.
52:34Really? Then help me find someone.
52:39Who?
52:44Luke Strong.
52:49Never heard of him.
52:54Never heard of him?
52:59Charles!
53:05Do you remember this spot where you killed my mother?
53:10Laura, careful.
53:15Scared, Victoria?
53:20You little bitch! What are you going to do?
53:25You'll see.
53:31I'm not going to ruin my life on trash like you.
53:36But you will see your daughter again.
53:41Miss Montgomery.
53:46I'll handle this.
54:01Laura, are you alright?
54:06Perfect.
54:11And Victoria?
54:16Victoria's been handled.
54:21Now it's your turn.
54:26Protecting Montgomery's reputation.
54:31Reputation?
54:36Let me ask you something, Charles.
54:41Weren't you the one who ruined this family's reputation by having an affair and coming home with a bastard child?
54:46Why did my mother have to pay for that?
54:51It's a $500 monthly stipend or you're going to prison.
54:56Don't do anything stupid, Charles.
55:01If you cross us, I can think of a hundred ways to make sure you wish you were dead.
55:06Try me.
55:11You'll regret this!
55:16Everything settled?
55:21Laura, when can I finally be a real part of your life?
55:26How do you still have this?
55:31I bought it back from the pawnbroker.
55:36Laura, will you please marry me?
55:41Yes, Oliver, I will.
