00:03:14initial
00:03:15press conference next week
00:03:17it just had to be patient until then alright
00:03:19Goodbye! Thank you!
00:03:22That was pretty good.
00:03:23Yeah, it was good.
00:03:40Hi, my name is Natalie Collins. I had a reservation for two rooms.
00:03:43Great, just one moment please.
00:03:46Tomorrow, you'll be with your mom.
00:03:48But tonight, it's gonna be just you and me.
00:03:51How does that sound?
00:03:52Patrick's gonna be so jealous when I tell him.
00:03:56Evie was actually telling me that Patrick's father's from Los Angeles. Is that true?
00:04:01Uh, yeah. But I doubt he's still around. We didn't part on good terms.
00:04:07Thank you for choosing Lagoon Hotel. Enjoy your stay.
00:04:12Daddy, can we watch cartoons when we get out to the room?
00:04:15Of course we can, sweetie.
00:04:18I love cartoons.
00:04:58Forgive me, but you look like somebody that I met years ago.
00:05:03Somebody that I wish I'd never see again.
00:05:15Hey, you look like my best friend Patrick.
00:05:17Hey, sweetie, how about you look at photos of me?
00:05:30That's me.
00:05:35You won't believe it. I think I saw your dad.
00:05:48Oh, my God.
00:06:07Was that THE Natalie?
00:06:10You almost died trying to save her.
00:06:13And she just left without a word. Now she just shows up here with her family?
00:06:18She didn't just leave. I stepped in to help her.
00:06:22She abandoned you when you needed her most.
00:06:26You spent years searching for her, and just when you were finally about to move on,
00:06:30she comes in here out of nowhere and just flaunts her family in front of you?
00:06:34Okay. Stop.
00:06:36Stop.
00:06:41You are never going to be able to forgive her!
00:06:48Mr. Hayes?
00:06:49Hello, I would like to know what room Miss Natalie Collins is in. She just checked in.
00:06:56It's a standard, sir.
00:06:58Figures. He's such a poor loser that he can't even afford a hotel suite.
00:07:03So that's who she ended up with after leaving me.
00:07:08You know, I bet you thought she was a goner after that attack.
00:07:11Now, all of a sudden, you're rich again. She comes crawling back. Typical.
00:07:17You know, I want to upgrade her to a luxury suite,
00:07:20and I want you to tell her that you're having maintenance. Okay?
00:07:24Why? Why are you doing this, man?
00:07:26She is married. She has a husband. She has a daughter.
00:07:29Do not tell me that you're still in love with her!
00:07:34Don't forget why Joanna is dead!
00:07:42Hi, Mommy. I really, really miss you.
00:07:45I miss you too, baby.
00:07:47But Mommy has to start work so she can get us a house.
00:07:50When are you coming to get me?
00:07:53Just as soon as my paperwork goes through. Two weeks max.
00:07:58What are you playing?
00:08:00I'm the quarterback on my team.
00:08:03We're winning the Super Bowl.
00:08:05I'll talk to you very soon, darling, okay?
00:08:16Somebody that I wish I'd never see again.
00:08:20He'll hate you until the day he dies.
00:08:26It's been seven years.
00:08:28It's been seven years, and he still hates me.
00:08:48Bye, Auntie Natalie. You're the best auntie ever.
00:08:51Bye, Munchkin.
00:08:54Running into Carl on my first day back.
00:08:58What if agreeing to this transfer was the biggest mistake I've ever made?
00:09:07Hi. I'd like to extend my stay one more night, please.
00:09:15It looks like your room has already been booked for the next night.
00:09:19But I'd be happy to upgrade you to the presidential suite. Free of charge, of course.
00:09:27Is your hotel always this generous?
00:09:50You finally came.
00:09:54What is it? It's been seven years?
00:09:58Just because I came doesn't mean I forgive you.
00:10:02Honestly, after everything you've done, I don't know if I have the right to.
00:10:13How are you and Carl?
00:10:16How are you and Carl?
00:10:22How are you and Carl?
00:10:26Are you doing okay?
00:10:28You got involved in a gang and got his sister killed.
00:10:32How could things ever be okay between us?
00:10:38You have two years left on your sentence.
00:10:41I suggest you use it to become a better person.
00:10:47Natalie, wait!
00:10:59Tomorrow's Joanne's birthday.
00:11:03Please, can we visit her grave and tell her I'm sorry?
00:11:16Okay.
00:11:38I hope you're in peace in your next life.
00:11:42Don't skip school, get into fights, or date punkettes like Matt.
00:11:48Mom, hey, you don't actually have to go all the way to my grave.
00:11:52She's my daughter. I need to be with her today.
00:11:55Okay, Mom. Mom, listen. Do not...
00:11:59Mom.
00:12:03What are you doing here?
00:12:06Matt asked me to visit Joanne's grave.
00:12:12Take your cheap flowers and get the hell out of here.
00:12:15You and your filthy family don't belong anywhere near my daughter.
00:12:38Hey!
00:12:43What do you think you're doing? You trying to get yourself killed?
00:12:47Does that make you hate me less?
00:12:54Come on.
00:13:13What kind of husband lets his wife walk back to a hotel in weather like this, do you know?
00:13:33Why didn't you answer it?
00:13:35It's none of your business.
00:13:37It's none of my business?
00:13:39It's been seven years. Not a word.
00:13:42Now you just want to show up happily married?
00:13:46Really?
00:13:48Don't you think that I, who was your ex-fiancee, deserves an explanation?
00:13:54If you don't want to see me, I'll go.
00:13:56Let me tell you something.
00:13:58My sister died.
00:14:00My football career ended.
00:14:02Not a word from you after you left.
00:14:05Do you have any idea what I have been through?
00:14:08Hmm?
00:14:09Or let me guess.
00:14:11You just didn't care.
00:14:13How could you say that?
00:14:15Do you really think I'm that cold?
00:14:17I don't know. You tell me.
00:14:24He'll hate you until the day he dies.
00:14:28You and your family are dead to us.
00:14:35No. Get the hell out and never come back.
00:14:40Lay me for your life if that helps you sleep at night.
00:14:47Let me out.
00:14:50Why?
00:14:52Because you're scared of being alone with me?
00:14:54Why? You don't want your husband to know that you were with him for five years?
00:14:57That I was the first man that you ever made love to?
00:15:00Shut up.
00:15:01Yeah, did you ever tell him that my tongue has traced every inch of your body?
00:15:05That you would scream my name every time he would come?
00:15:08Has he ever done that to you?
00:15:10Hmm? Has he? Has he?
00:15:15You're such a bastard.
00:15:18Mother, what are you doing here?
00:15:20I found this in your car.
00:15:22Don't tell me you were with that woman yesterday.
00:15:25It was raining and she needed a ride.
00:15:28Okay? It was a harmless encounter.
00:15:32Have you forgotten?
00:15:34You'd still have a sister.
00:15:36You'd still have a brother.
00:15:38You'd still have a sister.
00:15:40You'd still have a brother.
00:15:42You'd still have a sister.
00:15:44You'd still have a sister.
00:15:46You'd still have a sister if it weren't for that wretched woman.
00:15:49No, I have not forgotten.
00:15:51I heard she's married with a daughter.
00:15:53You've met them.
00:15:54And?
00:15:56You're still not over her.
00:15:59She's never cared about you.
00:16:02Going after a married woman.
00:16:04You've got no self-respect, have you?
00:16:06Okay.
00:16:09There's no need to worry.
00:16:11She has moved on with a new life,
00:16:13and I'm not going to hold on to the past.
00:16:17I've spoken with Jessica.
00:16:19Our families are well-matched.
00:16:23Think of the things she can give you.
00:16:25Stability, a family, a wife you can lean on.
00:16:31We'll see.
00:16:32Hmm.
00:16:40Hey, Natalie.
00:16:41Glad you could finally make it.
00:16:43The Shadow Group's legendary annual partnership is important,
00:16:47so try and look like you're having a good time.
00:16:50I will do my best to please our biggest client.
00:16:52Come on, let me introduce you to everyone.
00:16:54You're going to want to meet our newest team member.
00:16:57Everyone!
00:16:59This is Natalie, our brilliant new senior attorney.
00:17:03We stole her from the Chicago branch.
00:17:05She is an expert in IPO cases.
00:17:08With her on board, we are in a stronger position
00:17:11to help the Shadow Group go public.
00:17:13Wow, well, a pleasure to meet you, Natalie.
00:17:15It sounds like my boss would be eager to meet you.
00:17:17He wants the public offering to go off without me.
00:17:19That's why I'm here.
00:17:22Mr. Hayes, I've been waiting for you.
00:17:33What are you doing here?
00:17:37Hmm.
00:17:38Do you two already know each other?
00:17:40Yes.
00:17:41No.
00:17:42What about that day seven years ago?
00:17:44On the field?
00:17:46I just met him.
00:17:48On the field?
00:17:50I just moved here from Chicago.
00:17:52Well, you know what?
00:17:54I must be mistaken.
00:17:56Yes, because I was wondering how our newest associate
00:17:58could possibly know you.
00:18:00Natalie, this is Carl Hayes,
00:18:04founder and CEO of the Shadow Group.
00:18:06This is Natalie Collins.
00:18:09It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hayes.
00:18:12You as well.
00:18:19Ah.
00:18:23Why is this tramp here?
00:18:25You ain't trying to steal my man again, are you?
00:18:27Lover!
00:18:29Hi!
00:18:32Jessica.
00:18:33Hi.
00:18:35Hi, Jessica.
00:18:37What are you doing here?
00:18:39Well, Delia said that you might need some rescuing,
00:18:43so I thought I'd whisk you away.
00:18:45Well, it looks like you two have a ton to talk about,
00:18:47so I'll leave you to it.
00:18:49Well, you know what, Miss Collins?
00:18:51I actually am going to need you for something.
00:18:53And you, Jessica, my driver, will take you home.
00:18:55You, come with me.
00:19:05Sit.
00:19:09Take them off.
00:19:12Take them off.
00:19:14Excuse me?
00:19:16Your shoes.
00:19:18Your feet are hurting you, I can tell.
00:19:20I'm fine.
00:19:26You know, I can always tell when you're lying,
00:19:28because you get a little funny crease between your eyebrows.
00:19:32Are you really going to try to play this off
00:19:34for the next three hours?
00:19:36I mean, come on, where's your husband?
00:19:38Doesn't he care about you at all?
00:19:40I...
00:19:42One sec.
00:19:48I can take care of myself.
00:20:02Okay, come on.
00:20:08Ah.
00:20:14Okay.
00:20:16You were always so stubborn.
00:20:20Do you remember the last time this happened to us?
00:20:22Yeah.
00:20:24It was your NFL draft celebration party.
00:20:28I wanted to look perfect for the party,
00:20:30so I wore those god-awful three-inch pommies.
00:20:34And then you couldn't walk for, like,
00:20:36two days after that.
00:20:38You were busy with the team. You didn't notice I was gone.
00:20:40I noticed.
00:20:54You know, why'd you come back?
00:20:56No, no, seriously.
00:20:58Why didn't you just stay away forever,
00:21:00like you were dead?
00:21:02Because, you know, seeing you again,
00:21:04it's like everything that my family lost today,
00:21:06and you just moved on like it was nothing.
00:21:08That's not true.
00:21:10It's not true? Really? Because you went and you got married
00:21:12and you had a kid and, you know, Matt is gonna get out
00:21:14and he's gonna live the rest of his life.
00:21:16But Joanna? Joanna is always going to be 19.
00:21:18And I hate, I hate
00:21:20how unfair that is.
00:21:22You know what?
00:21:24You're right.
00:21:26It was Matt's fault for getting involved with the game.
00:21:28But it was your family's fault
00:21:30for not disciplining Joanna, not mine.
00:21:32I didn't force Joanna
00:21:34to date Matt.
00:21:36Her death has nothing to do with me.
00:21:38And you know what?
00:21:40You have never changed.
00:21:42You are still so cold
00:21:44and selfish.
00:21:46Hate me all you want. I don't care.
00:21:52Why'd you leave if you're already married?
00:21:58I didn't come back for you.
00:22:00You and your mother can live in your hate.
00:22:02Okay?
00:22:04Unlike you, I had to start a new life
00:22:06for myself.
00:22:14Okay.
00:22:16Mommy!
00:22:18Oh, I missed you so much.
00:22:24Thank you so much for taking care of my baby.
00:22:26Of course! I'm his godmom.
00:22:28I'd do anything for this cutie.
00:22:30So, what do you say, kiddo?
00:22:32Let's grab some ice cream and hot dogs
00:22:34and head over to have a picnic at that fancy new park that opened up?
00:22:36Yes!
00:22:38Let's go!
00:22:42I cannot believe
00:22:44you and Carl ended up in the same town again
00:22:46after all of these years.
00:22:48I know.
00:22:50What are you going to do if he finds out about...
00:22:52I mean, he's going to figure out the kid is his.
00:22:54All you have to do is look at Patrick
00:22:56to see that he's Carl's.
00:23:00He's going to figure out the kid is his.
00:23:02All you have to do is look at Patrick
00:23:04to see that he's Carl's.
00:23:06I'll keep him separated.
00:23:10I don't want to bring him into me and Carl's
00:23:12mess, I guess.
00:23:14I'm sorry.
00:23:16It's too soon.
00:23:18Thank you, Mr. Hayes, for donating the park to the public.
00:23:20You know, it's my pleasure, Mayor.
00:23:22We remain committed to this community.
00:23:24And you know what?
00:23:26We are very pleased to announce the approval
00:23:28of the new residential project.
00:23:30Very good.
00:23:34Another successful
00:23:36business transaction for residential real estate!
00:23:38You're killing it, man!
00:23:40Daddy!
00:23:42Wait up!
00:23:44Oh, there he goes.
00:23:46Daddy, wait up!
00:23:48Hi! Hey, buddy!
00:23:54Okay, stand here.
00:23:56Um, I think
00:23:58you have the wrong person.
00:24:00Where's your parents at?
00:24:02My mommy's here, but my daddy died.
00:24:04I dreamed about him, and you look
00:24:06just like him. Oh, really?
00:24:08Is that right?
00:24:10Do you like football?
00:24:12You do? Are you married?
00:24:16Uh, no.
00:24:18Perfect! You can marry my mommy.
00:24:20She's real pretty.
00:24:22Is that Carl?
00:24:24He looks hot.
00:24:26Where'd she go?
00:24:32Go be his mother!
00:24:34There you are!
00:24:36Gotta keep a close eye on this one.
00:24:38Okay.
00:24:40Oh, you know what?
00:24:42Come on back here.
00:24:46You can have this.
00:24:48Thanks, Daddy.
00:24:50Okay, well,
00:24:52that's all we're gonna say.
00:24:54Here we go.
00:24:56The coin is a collector's item.
00:24:58How are you gonna give it to a kid that you just met?
00:25:00I don't know. I just felt like a connection or something.
00:25:02Well, he did look a lot like you,
00:25:04but if I'd have known any better,
00:25:06I'd say you have a secret son.
00:25:08Okay, well, that's just a coincidence.
00:25:10Mommy, Daddy gave this to me.
00:25:12Sweetie,
00:25:14why would you call that man Daddy?
00:25:16I dreamed about him, and he looks just like him.
00:25:18I wish I could tell you
00:25:20he's really your dad.
00:25:28Annie!
00:25:30Mommy, I'm here!
00:25:34Hey, don't cry.
00:25:36Auntie Natalie's on the phone.
00:25:40Hi, Auntie Natalie.
00:25:42Can we have another girls' night?
00:25:44This time I'm bringing Mommy.
00:25:46What?
00:25:48They're not Natalie's daughter and husband?
00:25:50Dude, I know it.
00:25:56Carl, the IPO filings are looking solid.
00:25:58Let's make sure everything's in place.
00:26:00We don't want any trouble with the SEC.
00:26:04Why isn't Natalie Collins in this meeting?
00:26:06She asked for the day off.
00:26:08It's Valentine's Day.
00:26:10Probably on a hot date.
00:26:12Bet she has men lining up, too.
00:26:16Miss Natalie Collins is the lead on this IPO.
00:26:18She does not miss meetings.
00:26:20Now, if this case is not important to the firm
00:26:22or Miss Collins,
00:26:24I'm more than happy to pull the plug
00:26:26on the entire thing altogether.
00:26:28As a partner in this firm, I assure you,
00:26:30it is a top priority.
00:26:34Mommy, a candle.
00:26:38Thanks for sparing me the trouble.
00:26:40You're welcome.
00:26:42Thanks for sparing the day with me, Mommy.
00:26:44There is nowhere else I'd rather be.
00:26:46So, what did you wish for?
00:26:48I can't tell you.
00:26:50The wish won't come true.
00:26:52I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I forgot.
00:27:00Yes, Kevin?
00:27:02I just got out of a tense meeting with Carl Hayes
00:27:04about the IPO.
00:27:06Why weren't you there?
00:27:08I already took care of everything before I left.
00:27:10You didn't need me there.
00:27:12He's threatening to cancel the project
00:27:14because he thinks that you're not taking it seriously.
00:27:16He said what?
00:27:18The firm was considering promoting you to partner next year,
00:27:20but if we lose Hayes,
00:27:22you can kiss that goodbye.
00:27:24Don't worry.
00:27:26I will smooth things over with Hayes.
00:27:28You better.
00:27:32Baby, I'm so sorry.
00:27:34Mommy has to go into work.
00:27:36I know.
00:27:38I know.
00:27:40But Auntie Evie will come watch you.
00:27:42You're joking, Mommy.
00:27:44Oh, you're such a brave boy.
00:27:46I'm so sorry.
00:27:52Get over here.
00:27:54Hi, I'm Natalie Collins
00:27:56with Johnson & Myers Law Firm.
00:27:58Is Mr. Hayes on today?
00:28:00Sorry, no he's not.
00:28:08Is Mr. Hayes here today?
00:28:10I'm sorry.
00:28:12No, he's not in right now.
00:28:14Oh, Natalie,
00:28:16you looking for Mr. Hayes?
00:28:18I'm going to meet him at the golf course right now.
00:28:20Do you want to join us?
00:28:22Thank you so much.
00:28:28Oh, hey, aren't you
00:28:30Kevin's new lawyer?
00:28:32No, I'm not.
00:28:34I'm Kevin's new lawyer.
00:28:36Aren't you, uh, Kevin's new lawyer?
00:28:38Natalie Collins, right?
00:28:40Top grad at Stanford, fastest rising associate.
00:28:42Why don't you come join my firm?
00:28:44No, thank you. I am actually very happy where I am.
00:28:46I'm actually here to discuss
00:28:48something with Mr. Hayes.
00:28:50Discuss what?
00:28:52You just think you can show up here whenever you want
00:28:54and I'll drop everything?
00:28:56This is business.
00:28:58Don't make it personal.
00:29:00Okay, when you missed my meeting
00:29:02and played hooky,
00:29:04it became my business.
00:29:06I didn't play hooky.
00:29:08I assure you I had a legitimate excuse for staying home that day.
00:29:10Well, your excuses are irrelevant.
00:29:12You know, you really should go.
00:29:14Carl here was just handing the IPO filing over to me, so...
00:29:16Handing over the IPO filing to you?
00:29:18You're seriously going to hand over
00:29:20the IPO case to a firm that has
00:29:22no experience with them?
00:29:24Well, I'm sure they'll show up to meetings.
00:29:26Let's make a bet.
00:29:28Steve and I will play against each other
00:29:30and whoever makes a hole in one secures the deal.
00:29:32What do you think, Steve?
00:29:34You know, I was the top golfer at this club last year.
00:29:36You're not even dressed properly.
00:29:38Just hit the ball.
00:29:44Woo!
00:29:46If you want to change your mind, it's not too late.
00:29:52Okay.
00:30:02Oh!
00:30:04A hole in one!
00:30:06Amazing!
00:30:08How did you do that?
00:30:10I wasn't around to compete last year.
00:30:12That's the only reason why you won.
00:30:14So?
00:30:16Are you willing to work with me now?
00:30:18The firm? Yes.
00:30:20You? No.
00:30:22You've got to be kidding me.
00:30:24We'll talk in, let's say...
00:30:26Seven years.
00:30:28Don't let what happened between us
00:30:30go to waste.
00:30:36Now that's exactly what happens
00:30:38when you sleep with a client.
00:31:00That's weird.
00:31:06Ah!
00:31:08Let me go!
00:31:10Hey, hey, go ahead and scream.
00:31:12Nobody can hear you out here.
00:31:16You know, I really hate losing
00:31:18to uppity bitches like you.
00:31:20But I kind of like when you fight back.
00:31:22Makes me want it more.
00:31:24Stay away from me.
00:31:26I'll give you ten times what you deserve.
00:31:28I mean, I'll give you ten times
00:31:30what your love for me is.
00:31:32You just have to open your legs for me, that's all.
00:31:34Ah!
00:31:36Ah!
00:31:38Wait, wait, wait, wait, Carl, Carl, Carl.
00:31:40This is a misunderstanding.
00:31:42One more word from you, and I'll finish you good.
00:31:48Hey, you okay?
00:31:50Thank you for saving me.
00:31:52My car's over here. Come with me, okay?
00:31:54Come on, get up.
00:31:56Help.
00:32:00Oh, no. Patrick's at home.
00:32:02Actually, I can just take an Uber.
00:32:04It's fine.
00:32:06Okay.
00:32:26You really can't take me home?
00:32:28Why not?
00:32:30Uh, because my husband.
00:32:32He wouldn't feel comfortable
00:32:34driving me home.
00:32:36Okay, well, whoever this guy is who's your husband,
00:32:38yeah, he's doing a really bad job
00:32:40because it seems like I'm always the one that's rescuing you.
00:32:44He's just busy with work.
00:32:46Really? Okay.
00:32:48Well, if you want to keep me as a client,
00:32:50I would stop fighting me on this
00:32:52if I was you.
00:32:56Time to go.
00:32:58Okay.
00:33:02Watch your step. Ready?
00:33:06Okay.
00:33:10Okay.
00:33:22Patrick,
00:33:24how would you like to go to the park?
00:33:26Now.
00:33:40What are you doing?
00:33:42I don't know. I just have, like, uh,
00:33:44lunch.
00:33:48I don't know. It's weird. It looks like you have no
00:33:50no men's clothes around here.
00:33:52Fine.
00:33:54There's no men's clothes in here
00:33:56because I'm not actually married.
00:33:58Oh.
00:34:00Wow, I'm shocked.
00:34:02I don't have to look so smug.
00:34:10Oh, so you do have a piece of men's clothing
00:34:12around here. What's this?
00:34:14Is this my old jersey?
00:34:18Is this my old jersey?
00:34:20Your old jersey?
00:34:22That old thing. I completely forgot that it even existed.
00:34:24So you wouldn't care
00:34:26if I just threw it out?
00:34:28It's whatever, right?
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:34Huh.
00:34:36Come on.
00:34:38You know, I guess you only gave a damn about me when I was throwing touchdowns
00:34:40on the football field.
00:34:42But I'm actually glad that you left
00:34:44because it gave me all the motivation in the world
00:34:46to back on my feet and become very successful.
00:34:48You act like I abandoned you.
00:34:52Do you not recall why I left?
00:34:54What are you talking about?
00:34:58Okay, um, you know what?
00:35:00Where's your bathroom? I'll go get you a towel
00:35:02with some ice.
00:35:04Oh, no. If he goes in there, he's going to see Patrick's toothbrush
00:35:06and bath toys.
00:35:08Um, you should leave.
00:35:12I should leave?
00:35:14I've literally been here for five minutes
00:35:16and you're already pushing me out?
00:35:18Okay. Wait!
00:35:24I really appreciate you bringing me back here.
00:35:26I really do.
00:35:28I'm just not ready
00:35:30to explain everything to you yet.
00:35:36Here.
00:35:40You should take some cookies before you go.
00:35:43Did you make these?
00:35:45Um, I don't remember you being a baker,
00:35:47but okay.
00:35:51Hey.
00:35:53You wouldn't say that if you knew it was your son who made them.
00:35:57Fine. Don't take them then.
00:35:59Uh, no, no. I, um...
00:36:01No, if you want the box back,
00:36:03you can come to the office tomorrow
00:36:05and we can discuss working together.
00:36:08Okay.
00:36:10I'll bring the IPO paperwork tomorrow.
00:36:12Uh, actually,
00:36:14I have meetings all day tomorrow.
00:36:16Um, why don't you come in three days?
00:36:18No, actually,
00:36:20come in a week.
00:36:28Call Hayden. I've got his address.
00:36:30Tomorrow,
00:36:32I'm going to go see Daddy.
00:36:34Mm-hmm.
00:36:40Night.
00:36:42Hey there,
00:36:44little guy.
00:36:46Uh, what can I help you with?
00:36:48I'm looking for Carl Hayes.
00:36:50Oh, well, you're going to need
00:36:52an appointment to see your CEO.
00:36:54He's very busy.
00:36:56He's my daddy.
00:36:58What? Mr. Hayes has a kid?
00:37:00Since when?
00:37:02Robin, can you please, um...
00:37:04Daddy, there you are!
00:37:06Hey!
00:37:08What are you doing here?
00:37:10I just wanted to say,
00:37:12hi, Daddy.
00:37:14Well, you know what?
00:37:16I'm not your daddy.
00:37:18Kid, I'm sorry.
00:37:20But if me and Natalie had a child,
00:37:22he'd probably be around this age.
00:37:26I just wanted to say
00:37:28thank you for the coin.
00:37:30I loved it.
00:37:32That's why I came here today.
00:37:34To return the favor.
00:37:36Oh, really?
00:37:38Remember at the park?
00:37:40I wanted to show you
00:37:42the most beautiful woman in the world.
00:37:44My mommy.
00:37:46But I could not find her.
00:37:48But I have her picture with me now.
00:37:50Can I see?
00:37:52Can I see?
00:38:02If you put your number in here,
00:38:04I'll send you
00:38:06the picture of my beautiful mommy.
00:38:18Here's Mr. Carl's number.
00:38:20Put it in the photo there.
00:38:24Can you hold this?
00:38:26Yeah.
00:38:38You see, buddy, this, um...
00:38:40This is not your mommy.
00:38:42That's a movie star.
00:38:44You know that?
00:38:46But it's just that Mommy is really busy.
00:38:48She never has time to take fancy pictures.
00:38:50I swear.
00:38:52She's just as pretty as this lady.
00:38:54I swear.
00:38:56All right. I, uh...
00:38:58I believe you.
00:39:00Ryan, can you please take him home?
00:39:02Yeah.
00:39:04Sure. Come on, buddy. I'll take y'all.
00:39:18I have been trying to reach you for over a week
00:39:20regarding the IPO, and you haven't answered
00:39:22any of my calls.
00:39:24Well, you know what? You really shouldn't be on that ankle of yours.
00:39:26Okay. Wait a minute.
00:39:28Hey, Mr. Hayes actually has an important appointment.
00:39:30If you'd like to speak with him,
00:39:32you can go ahead and schedule an appointment with me.
00:39:34An appointment? I've been trying to schedule one for over a week.
00:39:36Okay. Maybe you should just...
00:39:38You promised me.
00:39:40Are you just another man that goes back on his word?
00:39:42Listen, I have a few more meetings today,
00:39:44so I need you to stay in the lobby,
00:39:46and I will come get you when I'm ready, all right?
00:39:48Okay.
00:39:52She just sat there
00:39:54and waited all day for Mr. Hayes.
00:39:56Someone should have told her
00:39:58that he left hours ago.
00:40:06Next time you see Mr. Hayes,
00:40:08please let him know to call me.
00:40:16Hello?
00:40:18Hello, Natalie.
00:40:20Mr. Hayes is available to see you now.
00:40:32Hello?
00:40:34I'm sorry.
00:40:36I'm going to have to cancel the meeting I just scheduled with you.
00:40:38Mr. Hayes can't see you after all.
00:40:40I know he's there with you.
00:40:42Put him on.
00:40:44Natalie?
00:40:46Isn't this a little childish, even for you?
00:40:48Not really.
00:40:50I'm actually having fun.
00:40:52I swear it's like you're on the field again playing games.
00:40:58Natalie?
00:41:00Natalie!
00:41:02Hey!
00:41:14What?
00:41:20What?
00:41:22Where am I?
00:41:24What happened?
00:41:28Hey, hey! You okay?
00:41:30Lay down, lay down.
00:41:34What happened?
00:41:36You were in a car accident,
00:41:38and you have a concussion, and it's my fault.
00:41:40And I am sorry.
00:41:44I can't stay here.
00:41:46I have meetings.
00:41:48No, hey, hey, don't worry about your meetings.
00:41:50Okay? I will handle it.
00:41:52I promise. And when this is over,
00:41:54we will start that business
00:41:56together.
00:41:58Alright? No more games for me.
00:42:02And you know what?
00:42:04You get some rest.
00:42:06Okay? And I'm going to get you some food.
00:42:10Alright?
00:42:14Okay.
00:42:32Hi, baby.
00:42:36Mommy, I had a really bad dream.
00:42:38You did?
00:42:40Auntie Evie said you went out of town,
00:42:42and I had a dream
00:42:44that you got in an accident,
00:42:46and you got really hurt.
00:42:50Baby, it was just a dream.
00:42:52Mommy, where are you?
00:42:54I'm at a convention for work.
00:42:56I'll be home soon, okay?
00:43:02You were always the first one to cave
00:43:04and make peace with Natalie back in the day.
00:43:06And now here you are,
00:43:08doing the same thing.
00:43:10Even though you're her client.
00:43:12Some things never change, I guess.
00:43:22Mommy, you know I love you very, very much.
00:43:24Did I just hear somebody
00:43:26say mommy?
00:43:28I'm sorry, I just...
00:43:30I need to ask you this.
00:43:32Did I just hear somebody
00:43:34say mommy?
00:43:36No, uh, just a random thing
00:43:38I found on the internet.
00:43:40It's nothing.
00:43:44Okay.
00:43:46I, um, brought you some food.
00:43:48It's not just any food,
00:43:50you went all the way
00:43:52to your favorite restaurant
00:43:54that you guys loved so much in college.
00:43:56Don't you have a meeting
00:43:58you have to get to?
00:44:00I know what I'm not wanted,
00:44:02but I'm not a bad guy.
00:44:04I'm not a bad guy.
00:44:06I'm not a bad guy.
00:44:08I'm not a bad guy.
00:44:10I'm not a bad guy.
00:44:12I'm not a bad guy.
00:44:14I'm not a bad guy.
00:44:16Don't you have a meeting
00:44:18you have to get to?
00:44:20I know what I'm not wanted.
00:44:22See you later.
00:44:28You can stop pretending.
00:44:30I'm not your responsibility.
00:44:32Hey.
00:44:36I am the reason you got in that car accident,
00:44:38okay, so yes.
00:44:40You are my responsibility.
00:44:47What are you doing?
00:44:50Well, you dropped this in my car.
00:44:53So when I found it broken, I went and got it fixed for you.
00:45:02You're welcome.
00:45:10You should go.
00:45:14Okay.
00:45:17Yeah.
00:45:21It's almost as if...
00:45:22No.
00:45:23Of course you don't still see me in that way.
00:45:26Not after seven years.
00:45:41That bitch again?
00:45:44What was Carl doing here?
00:46:01Jessica, I didn't know you'd be joining me and Mother for dinner.
00:46:04Surprise!
00:46:06I was the one who invited Jessica for dinner.
00:46:08I wanted to hear all about her new job at the agency.
00:46:11Oh, it's great.
00:46:12Except my apartment is really far away from my new job.
00:46:16Well, where is your office?
00:46:17It's actually really close to here.
00:46:19Well, you should just move into the empty apartment below Carl's penthouse.
00:46:24He owns the entire building.
00:46:26All he has to do is say yes and it's yours.
00:46:29What?
00:46:36I'll be right back.
00:46:41You know, I think it's time I take you back to your place, Mother.
00:46:49I was at the hospital today and I saw you visiting that witch.
00:46:53Why are you still tangled up in that married woman's mess?
00:46:58Didn't you hear anything I told you?
00:47:00I am the reason that she got into that car accident in the first place.
00:47:03So it makes it my responsibility to take care of her.
00:47:07And another thing.
00:47:09She actually doesn't have any kids and she's not married.
00:47:13I don't care.
00:47:14As long as I'm still alive, there's no way in hell I'm going to let her sink her claws back into you.
00:47:22There is absolutely no way that I will go back to Natalie.
00:47:26Not after what happened with Joanna.
00:47:29Okay?
00:47:30Jessica was telling me about some luxury jewelry exhibition happening tomorrow.
00:47:36We should go with her and buy her some lovely gifts.
00:47:47Natalie!
00:47:49You are the star of the company right now.
00:47:52Mr. Hayes just signed an exclusive three-year deal.
00:47:57Cha-ching!
00:47:59That one contract alone is going to keep us afloat for ages.
00:48:03Good job. Good job.
00:48:05That's good to hear.
00:48:07You get out of here tomorrow, right?
00:48:09You should check out the jewelry exposition downtown with me tomorrow.
00:48:15Buy yourself something nice.
00:48:19You certainly deserve it.
00:48:21Sure. I'll be there.
00:48:23Alright. See you tomorrow, superstar.
00:48:26Go better.
00:48:34Natalie!
00:48:36Look.
00:48:38It's Carl Hayes and Jessica Houston.
00:48:42Have you seen the tabloids?
00:48:43No. What about them?
00:48:45They're getting married next year.
00:48:49They're getting married next year.
00:48:51You and Carl seem to be on good terms, right?
00:48:53Maybe you should try a little dating.
00:48:57Getting married next year.
00:48:59You and Carl seem to be on good terms, right?
00:49:01Maybe you should try a little dating.
00:49:05I gotta say hi.
00:49:08Of course he's engaged again.
00:49:11It's not like he was actually going to wait for you.
00:49:15Excuse me. How much is this?
00:49:28Oh, that is $200,000.
00:49:30That is steep.
00:49:34Wrap it up for the lady.
00:49:39Put it in my tab.
00:49:41Carl, no. I can't accept that.
00:49:44It's too much.
00:49:46Well, you like it, don't you?
00:49:48Just because I like something doesn't mean I think I should own it.
00:49:51Here's a rule that I live by.
00:49:53If I like something, I get it.
00:49:57No matter what.
00:50:00Exactly.
00:50:02$200,000 is nothing to Carl.
00:50:05Like this ring here.
00:50:07It's $2 million.
00:50:11Your mom got that for you.
00:50:13Not me.
00:50:20So, is it a boy or a girl?
00:50:25You must have misunderstood.
00:50:27I don't have any children.
00:50:33Why did you think that she had a child?
00:50:35Because that size chain is usually for kids.
00:50:47I need you to find everything you can on Natalie Collins right now.
00:50:58If Carl finds out that little Brett is his, he'll go back to Natalie.
00:51:03I can't let that happen.
00:51:10Natalie Collins almost drowned at 16 and can't swim?
00:51:25Stay the hell away from my man.
00:51:28Ah!
00:51:31Ah!
00:51:39Ah!
00:51:42Carl!
00:51:43Ah!
00:51:46Carl!
00:51:50Natalie!
00:51:59Did you see that?
00:52:01Mr. Hayes didn't save his fiance.
00:52:04Who is this other woman?
00:52:06She seems very important to him.
00:52:08He really went all out for her?
00:52:10Okay.
00:52:15Wait.
00:52:19Here, here.
00:52:21Hold on.
00:52:26You okay?
00:52:31Look at me.
00:52:32Look at me.
00:52:33Hey.
00:52:34Hey, lay down.
00:52:35Lay down.
00:52:38I can't lose you.
00:52:40Hey.
00:52:41Hey, it's okay.
00:52:42Don't worry.
00:52:43I know you would have gotten to me if I were closer to you.
00:52:47Cut it out.
00:52:48All right?
00:52:50I'll let what you did to Natalie this time slide.
00:52:53You do this again, you're gonna regret it.
00:52:59Okay.
00:53:03Thank you again for saving me.
00:53:07Listen, no matter what happens between us,
00:53:10I will always be there to protect you.
00:53:14Good night.
00:53:37We shouldn't.
00:53:40You might be inside.
00:53:42I...
00:53:43Come on, you can...
00:53:44No.
00:53:45Wait.
00:53:46Was that from the attack?
00:53:49No, it's fine.
00:53:51Okay, I wouldn't be here if it was not.
00:53:56I never did get to save you.
00:54:02I never did get to say thank you for saving me that day.
00:54:08Well, you can thank me by letting me inside
00:54:11so we can get to this conversation.
00:54:14I really can't.
00:54:17What are you hiding from me?
00:54:23Mommy, is that you?
00:54:29I'm sorry, did I just hear somebody inside say mommy?
00:54:32No, it was just Alexa.
00:54:34Sometimes she says random things when it hears voices.
00:54:38Anyway, good night.
00:54:43All right.
00:54:45Good night.
00:54:54Honey, what are you doing out of bed?
00:54:56Mommy, who are you talking to?
00:54:59Nobody.
00:55:01Why don't you go back to bed?
00:55:02I'll tuck you in.
00:55:03Okay.
00:55:11Why do you keep rescuing that tramp?
00:55:15So Jessica told you what happened.
00:55:18That jealous little fool is holding on to you
00:55:20because she knows you've moved on to Jessica.
00:55:24Can't you see that?
00:55:26Mother, please stay out of my affairs.
00:55:29You've left me with no choice.
00:55:40Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from my son?
00:55:45Carl and Jessica are engaged and in love.
00:55:50You've done enough damage to my family.
00:55:53Look, you've got it all wrong.
00:55:54Carl didn't feel anything for you after the stabbing,
00:55:57just like he feels nothing now.
00:56:00We're just business partners.
00:56:02If I find out you're lying,
00:56:04I'll make a call to my friends at the DA's office.
00:56:07I'm sure they can dig up more charges on your brother.
00:56:15Carl, is that me?
00:56:18Natalie, you thought you needed the business, yikes.
00:56:21What can I help you with, Jessica?
00:56:23We need you to draft a prenup.
00:56:27I can't believe him.
00:56:28Asking me to draft up their prenup?
00:56:31Is this his way of getting back at me?
00:56:42Odelia, Carl's been seeing Natalie every day.
00:56:46Should I just step aside and let them be together?
00:56:49Absolutely not.
00:56:51You're exactly the kind of girl I want my son to be with.
00:56:55I'll handle it.
00:56:59Joanna.
00:57:01No, no, Odelia, Odelia, that's not, that's not Joanna.
00:57:05Don't you remember?
00:57:06Joanna died because of that bitch Natalie.
00:57:09Are you okay?
00:57:10What's going on?
00:57:11Oh my God, are you?
00:57:13Help, help, somebody help!
00:57:16It's okay, it's, you're gonna be okay.
00:57:24What the hell happened?
00:57:25Just, just rest, okay?
00:57:27She saw a girl that looked like Joanna and she just, she just ran after her, okay?
00:57:32You know, ever since Natalie returned, your mother's mental health has been getting worse.
00:57:37I think you should end things with her.
00:57:39You know, your mother wants me in your life now.
00:57:42Well, let me tell you something.
00:57:44Natalie is the one that I love, so I think you should stay out of it because you're the one that's turning my mother away from her.
00:57:52Out of all the women in the world, she's still the one you choose?
00:57:56She killed your sister.
00:57:58Or did you forget that?
00:57:59Okay, Mother.
00:58:01You all right?
00:58:02Let's calm down.
00:58:03Why should I?
00:58:05My son has lost his mind over some slut!
00:58:10Okay, Mother.
00:58:12All right, look at me.
00:58:14Relax.
00:58:15Get out.
00:58:16Because you can't help both of us.
00:58:18It's either me or her.
00:58:21Okay, hey.
00:58:23Relax.
00:58:24All right, yeah, Joanna is gone, but I'm still with Natalie.
00:58:26Nothing has changed.
00:58:27If it wasn't for her, you, you could have saved your sister.
00:58:32Yeah?
00:58:33Well, you know what?
00:58:34Joanna fell in with the wrong crowd.
00:58:35You and I did nothing to stop her.
00:58:37None of that was Natalie.
00:58:40We failed Joanna, not Natalie.
00:58:42How dare you?
00:58:43And you know what?
00:58:44I have spent the last seven years protecting my happiness for you.
00:58:48Not anymore.
00:58:49You can contact me when you're ready to accept Natalie.
00:59:10What are you?
00:59:34What do you want?
00:59:35Hey, listen.
00:59:37I will never give up on you, okay?
00:59:41On me and you ever.
00:59:44I promise, no matter what.
00:59:46Okay, uh...
00:59:50There we go.
00:59:52Remind me of your assistant's name.
00:59:57You can be his problem.
00:59:59Okay.
01:00:02No.
01:00:04What do you want from me?
01:00:07My fiancé.
01:00:16Tell your fiancé I'm not interested in your guys' prenup, okay?
01:00:22Prenup?
01:00:23The one Jessica said you wanted.
01:00:25Who said I wanted a prenup with her?
01:00:30Don't do this.
01:00:38Hey.
01:00:40There's never been anyone that I've ever thought about.
01:00:45You are the only one.
01:00:47Just one more night.
01:01:07Patrick's about to wake up.
01:01:14He can't see Carl in my bed.
01:01:18Guys, wake up.
01:01:20Wake up, wake up.
01:01:21Why? What's wrong?
01:01:23Shh.
01:01:31For what?
01:01:33Get up.
01:01:34Why?
01:01:36Where do I have to go?
01:01:38Oh, come on.
01:01:40Please.
01:01:42Okay.
01:01:43I don't know why you have to leave.
01:01:45It's not like we're having an affair.
01:01:47I'm sorry.
01:01:59Mommy, I dreamed that you were talking to someone again.
01:02:04What?
01:02:06No.
01:02:08It was the delivery man.
01:02:13One of Mommy's friends got you a late birthday present.
01:02:23What does this pattern mean?
01:02:26Well, this right here...
01:02:30...is a mobius ring.
01:02:33It's when two people who start off in the same place go around alone...
01:02:39...and then end up together again at the beginning.
01:03:00Are you crazy?
01:03:06I'm just going after what I want.
01:03:09Where are your gifts?
01:03:15Let me tell you something.
01:03:17I hand-picked every single one of those gifts for you.
01:03:21You were trying to get me to do it.
01:03:25I hand-picked every single one of those gifts for you.
01:03:29You were drunk last night, Carl. It doesn't mean anything.
01:03:32Yes, it does.
01:03:33How is it, living with Jessica, by the way?
01:03:36Who told you that?
01:03:37Because we are not living together.
01:03:39And we are definitely not engaged.
01:03:41Yeah, right.
01:03:45Are you jealous?
01:03:47As if.
01:03:48Your mom would never allow us to be together anyway.
01:03:51Absolutely no one will stop me from being with you.
01:03:54Not even my mother.
01:03:56She will come around.
01:03:59I promise.
01:04:01Once you settle things with Odelia...
01:04:03...I'll finally tell you what I've been keeping from you.
01:04:11We failed Joanna, not Natalie.
01:04:14How dare you?
01:04:15And you know what?
01:04:16I have spent the last seven years...
01:04:18...protecting my happiness for you.
01:04:20Not anymore.
01:04:21Baby.
01:04:23If only I'd paid more attention to you back then.
01:04:27Maybe you'd still be here.
01:04:51It's okay, Mom.
01:04:54She understands.
01:04:56I'm so sorry.
01:04:58I've been such a terrible mother.
01:05:01I've caused you so much pain.
01:05:06Mom, all of this is in the past.
01:05:09Okay?
01:05:10And Joanna would not want you to live the rest of your life in regret.
01:05:14Okay?
01:05:21Hey, Carl.
01:05:24My mom wants to apologize.
01:05:26She invited us to dinner, so just let me know when you're off work.
01:05:29Really?
01:05:30Odelia's ready to accept us?
01:05:46Carl belongs to me.
01:05:50It's time to do what I should have done a long time ago.
01:06:06Mommy, no, wait!
01:06:08Mommy!
01:06:14Who are you?
01:06:16What do you want?
01:06:17This money, I can pay.
01:06:20She doesn't want your money.
01:06:22She wants you and your kid out of the way.
01:06:26Who is she?
01:06:27I'll tell you in the morning.
01:06:29So you can die knowing who did this to you.
01:06:34Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
01:06:42Hey, um...
01:06:44Listen, I've been expecting Natalie for over an hour now.
01:06:47Did she leave work?
01:06:49She did leave the office, but that was a few hours ago.
01:06:59Henry, hey, listen, Natalie is missing.
01:07:02I'm gonna need you to make some calls.
01:07:04Also, I'm gonna need the surveillance footage from her office from the last few hours.
01:07:07Can you do that?
01:07:09Yeah, I'm gonna need to know exactly where Natalie's at.
01:07:22Yeah?
01:07:23Boss, no one's seen Natalie.
01:07:25All the office surveillance footage for the last few hours has been wiped clean.
01:07:36Yes, hello, Police Chief Garcia.
01:07:38Listen, this is Carl Hayes.
01:07:40I just received a big favor from you, and I'm gonna need it right now.
01:08:11That's the necklace I gave Natalie.
01:08:15Patrick is my son?
01:08:22What?
01:08:23Where the hell did that come from, kid?
01:08:29All right, let's deal with you first, shall we?
01:08:34All right, let's deal with you first, shall we?
01:08:40Let go of me! You have no right!
01:08:42Actually, we traced a recent $100,000 payment from you to the kidnapper here.
01:08:47You said no one was gonna notice that she's gone.
01:08:49Now the whole city's hunting for her!
01:08:52Oh, Delia, please, this is all just a big misunderstanding, okay?
01:08:55I don't even know the man!
01:08:57Get her out of my sight!
01:08:59Yes, ma'am. Let's go, missy.
01:09:01No, no, please! It wasn't me!
01:09:18Daddy, I knew you would come to save us.
01:09:22He looks just like Carl when Carl was his age.
01:09:32He's really my son, isn't he?
01:09:39I was gonna tell you the day you proposed.
01:09:48Mommy, Daddy, we're finally family now.
01:10:02I'm so sorry for everything I put you through over the years.
01:10:07Natalie, please accept these gifts.
01:10:11A title deed to two villas, a Maserati key, and some custom jewelry.
01:10:18Oh, Delia, you didn't have to do all this.
01:10:21I'm sorry.
01:10:24I'm sorry.
01:10:27Oh, Delia, you didn't have to do all this.
01:10:30I can't believe I left you to raise Patrick alone for seven years.
01:10:38It was me. I was the one who drove Natalie away.
01:10:42Mom, what are you saying?
01:10:44When you were in the hospital after the stabbing, I told her that you didn't want to see her again.
01:10:51I thought you hated me.
01:10:53And I thought that you abandoned me and never wanted to see me again.
01:11:00I'll never come between the two of you again.
01:11:07I forgive you.
01:11:09As a mother, I can only imagine how the death of Joanna affected you.
01:11:14These are for you.
01:11:16I hope you like them.
01:11:18Thanks, Grandma.
01:11:26From now on, you'll have everything you could ever want and all the love in the world.
01:11:32From now on, you'll have everything you could ever want and all the love in the world.
01:12:02From now on, you'll have everything you could ever want and all the love in the world.
01:12:20Where are they?
01:12:27What's going on?
01:12:29You'll see.
01:12:41Natalie, my love.
01:12:46This wedding has been a long time coming.
01:12:53Mommy!
01:12:59Can I get this?
01:13:16A Moebius ring?
01:13:18Just like you always want to.
01:13:21Dearly beloved, we are gathered in this beautiful setting to celebrate a union of two souls.
01:13:32They have endured great hardship, but their love has survived.
01:13:40Better late than never.
01:13:43And from now on,
01:13:46it's you and me.
01:13:48Always and forever.
