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