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.
00:00:12Who am I? I don't know.
00:00:24Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!
00:00:34Live right here at the BUN Media in front of millions of viewers, Carl Hayes popping the questions.
00:00:39I love you so much. You're the best quarterback and you're going to be the best.
00:00:51The best what? What?
00:01:01If 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? Now, you're going to pay.
00:01:29No! Say yes!
00:01:43My daughter is dead.
00:02:11My son will never play football, all because of your toxic family.
00:02:17How 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. Never come back.
00:02:49I'm sorry, baby. Daddy doesn't want us anymore.
00:02:56Carl Hayes, an NFL MVP seven years ago, is now a multi-millionaire and the young shadow group.
00:03:06Give me some time. I just don't want to cry. Over my heart.
00:03:14Sir, sir, sir, sir.
00:03:16Alright, alright, alright, alright. People, 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? Goodbye. Thank you.
00:03:28That was pretty good.
00:03:29Oh, yeah.
00:03:53Hi, my name is Natalie Collins. I had a reservation for two rooms.
00:03:56Great. Just one moment, please.
00:03:59Tomorrow, you'll be with your mom. But tonight, it's going to be just you and me.
00:04:04How does that sound?
00:04:06Patrick's going to be so jealous when I tell him.
00:04:09Evie was actually telling me that Patrick's father's from Los Angeles. Is that true?
00:04:14Uh, yeah. But I doubt he's still around. We didn't part our good terms.
00:04:21Thank you for choosing Lagoon Hotel. Enjoy your stay.
00:04:26Daddy, can we watch cartoons when we get to the room?
00:04:29Of course we can, sweetie. I love cartoons.
00:04:56I love cartoons.
00:04:59You
00:05:23Forgive me, but...
00:05:24You look like somebody that I met years ago.
00:05:27Somebody that I wish I'd never see again.
00:05:40Hey, you look like my best friend, Patrick.
00:05:42Hey, sweetie, how about you look at photos of me?
00:05:45That's me.
00:05:48You won't believe it. I think I saw your dad.
00:06:16You
00:06:18You
00:06:44Was that THE Natalie?
00:06:47You almost died trying to save her.
00:06:51And she just left without a word. Now 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,
00:07:09she comes in here out of nowhere and just flaunts her family in front of you?
00:07:12Okay, stop.
00:07:18You are never going to be able to forgive her!
00:07:35Mr. Hayes?
00:07:36Hello, I would like to know what room Miss Natalie Collins is in. She just checked in.
00:07:44It's a standard, sir.
00:07:45Figures. 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.
00:07:58And now, 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!
00:08:23Don't forget why Joanna is dead!
00:08:42Hi, Mommy. I really, really miss you.
00:08:47I miss you too, baby. But Mommy has to start work so she can get us a house.
00:08:52When are you coming to get me?
00:08:55Just as soon as my paperwork goes through. Two weeks, max.
00:09:00What are you playing?
00:09:03I'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, too.
00:10:05Bye, Joanna. We'll miss you.
00:10:07I miss 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.
00:10:32It 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, uh, how are you and Carl?
00:11:32How, uh, how are you and Carl?
00:11:50How, uh, how are you and Carl?
00:11:54Are you doing okay?
00:11:56He 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!
00:12:27Tomorrow's Joanne's birthday.
00:12:30Please, don't visit her grave and tell her I'm sorry.
00:13:01I hope you're in peace in your next life.
00:13:06Don't skip school, get into fights, or date punk kids like Matt.
00:13:12Mom, hey, you don't actually have to go all the way to the grave.
00:13:16She's my daughter. I need to be with her today.
00:13:19Okay, Mom. Mom, listen. Do not...
00:13:23Mom.
00:13:30Mom.
00:13:44What are you doing here?
00:13:47Matt asked me to visit Joanne's grave.
00:13:53Take your cheap flowers and get the hell out of here.
00:13:56You and your filthy family don't belong anywhere near my daughter.
00:14:19Hey!
00:14:26What do you think you're doing? You trying to get yourself killed?
00:14:29Does that make you hate me less?
00:14:36Come on.
00:14:57What kind of husband lets his wife walk back to a hotel in weather like this, do you know?
00:15:04I love you.
00:15:25Why didn't you answer?
00:15:27It's none of your business.
00:15:28None of my business?
00:15:31It's been seven years.
00:15:33Not a word.
00:15:34Now you just want to show up happily married?
00:15:39Really?
00:15:40Don't you think that I, who is your ex-fiancee, deserves an explanation?
00:15:46If you don't want to see me, I'll go.
00:15:48Let me tell you something.
00:15:49Let me tell you something.
00:15:50My sister died.
00:15:52My football career ended.
00:15:53Not a word from you after you left.
00:15:57Do you have any idea what I have been through?
00:16:00Or let me guess.
00:16:02You 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.
00:16:16He'll hate you until the day he dies.
00:16:20You and your family are dead to us.
00:16:24No. Get the hell out and never come back.
00:16:30Lay me for your life if that helps you sleep at night.
00:16:37Let me out.
00:16:40Why?
00:16:41Because you're scared of being alone with me?
00:16:43Why? You don't want your husband to know that you were with me for five years?
00:16:46That I was the first man that you ever made love to?
00:16:50Shut up!
00:16:51That you ever made love to?
00:16:52Shut up!
00:16:53Did you ever tell him that my tongue has traced every inch of your body?
00:16:57That you would scream my name every time he would come?
00:17:00Has he ever done that to you?
00:17:02Has he?
00:17:03Has he?
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.
00:17:49Have you forgotten?
00:17:51You'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.
00:17:59You've met them.
00:18:00And?
00:18:02You're still not over her.
00:18:05She's never cared about you going after a married woman.
00:18:10You'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 and 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.
00:18:31Stability, a family, a wife you can lean on.
00:18:37We'll see.
00:18:48I love you.
00:19:00Hey, Natalie.
00:19:01I'm glad you could finally make it.
00:19:03The Shadow Group's legendary annual partnership is important.
00:19:07So, try 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, well, 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.
00:19:45Mr. Hayes! I've been waiting for you.
00:20:09What are you doing here?
00:20:11What are you doing here?
00:20:16Do you two already know each other?
00:20:18No!
00:20:19No?
00:20:20What about that day seven years ago?
00:20:22In the field?
00:20:24I just moved here from Chicago.
00:20:27Well, you know what?
00:20:28I must be mistaken.
00:20:30Yes, because I was wondering how our newest associate could possibly know you.
00:20:35Natalie, this is Carl Hayes, founder and CEO of the Shadow Group.
00:20:41Yes, yes. Natalie Collins.
00:20:43It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hayes.
00:20:46You as well.
00:20:57Why is this tramp here?
00:20:59You ain't trying to steal my man again, are you?
00:21:02Lover! Hi!
00:21:12Hi!
00:21:20Jessica!
00:21:21Hi!
00:21:22Hi, Jessica.
00:21:24What are you doing here?
00:21:26Well, Delia said that you might need some rescuing.
00:21:30So I thought I'd whisk you away.
00:21:32Well, it looks like you two have a ton to talk about.
00:21:35So I'll leave you to it.
00:21:37Well, you know what, Miss Collins?
00:21:38I 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.
00:22:11Take them off.
00:22:14Excuse me?
00:22:15Your shoes.
00:22:16Your feet are hurting you, I can tell.
00:22:18I'm fine.
00:22:25You know, I can always tell when you're lying.
00:22:27Because you get a little funny crease between your eyebrows.
00:22:31Are you really going to try to play this off for the next three hours?
00:22:34I mean, come on, where's your...
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...
00:22:40Where's your husband?
00:22:41Doesn't he care about you at all?
00:22:43I...
00:22:44One sec.
00:22:51I can take care of myself.
00:23:06Okay, come on.
00:23:18You were always so stubborn.
00:23:21Do 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.
00:23:31So I wore those god-awful three-inch pumps.
00:23:35And 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.
00:23:59You know, why'd you come back?
00:24:01What?
00:24:02No, no, seriously.
00:24:03Why didn't you just...
00:24:04Why didn't you just stay away forever like...
00:24:06Like you were dead?
00:24:07Carl...
00:24:08Because, you know, seeing you again just...
00:24:09It reminds me of everything that my family lost that day.
00:24:11And you just...
00:24:12You just moved on.
00:24:13Like it was nothing.
00:24:14That's not true.
00:24:15It's not true?
00:24:16Really?
00:24:17Because you went and you got married.
00:24:18And you had a kid.
00:24:19And, you know...
00:24:20And you had a kid.
00:24:21And you had a kid.
00:24:22And you had a kid.
00:24:23And you had a kid.
00:24:24And you had a kid.
00:24:25And you had a kid.
00:24:26And you had a kid.
00:24:27And you had a kid.
00:24:28And, you know...
00:24:29And, you know, Matt is going to get out.
00:24:30And he's going to live the rest of his life.
00:24:31But Joanna...
00:24:32Joanna is always going to be 19.
00:24:34And I hate...
00:24:35I hate how unfair that is.
00:24:38You know what?
00:24:39You're right.
00:24:40It was Matt's fault for getting involved with the gang.
00:24:43But it was your family's fault for not disciplining Joanna.
00:24:46Not mine.
00:24:47I didn't force Joanna to date Matt.
00:24:50Her death has nothing to do with me.
00:24:52And you know what?
00:24:54You have never changed.
00:24:57You are still so cold and selfish.
00:25:00Fine.
00:25:01Hate me all you want.
00:25:02I don't care.
00:25:07Why did 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.
00:25:18Okay?
00:25:19Unlike you, I had to start a new life for myself.
00:25:27You
00:25:44Okay.
00:25:47Mommy!
00:25:49Oh, I missed you so much.
00:25:52I missed you too.
00:25:54So much for taking care of my baby.
00:25:56Of course, I'm his godmom.
00:25:57I'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
00:26:03and 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
00:26:16after 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.
00:26:40He's going to figure out the kid is his.
00:26:42All you have to do is look at Patrick to see that he's Carl's.
00:26:46I'll keep them separated.
00:26:56Sorry.
00:27:08I'm pleased to announce the approval of the new residential project.
00:27:12Very good.
00:27:16Oh, great.
00:27:18Another successful business transaction for residential real estate.
00:27:22You're killing it, man!
00:27:25Daddy, wait up!
00:27:27Oh, there he goes.
00:27:28Daddy, wait up!
00:27:30Hi!
00:27:31Hey, buddy!
00:27:46Okay, stand here.
00:27:49I think you have the wrong person.
00:27:51Do you know where your parents are?
00:27:53My mommy's here, but my daddy died.
00:27:56I dreamed about him and you look just like him.
00:27:58Oh, really?
00:27:59Is that right?
00:28:02Do you like football?
00:28:04You do?
00:28:05Are you married?
00:28:09No.
00:28:10Perfect!
00:28:11You can marry my mommy.
00:28:12She's real pretty.
00:28:14Is that Carl?
00:28:15He looks hot.
00:28:16I gotta help you out.
00:28:18Where'd she go?
00:28:33Oh, there's the 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.
00:28:45You 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.
00:28:57How 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 looked just like him.
00:29:19I wish I could tell you he's really your dad.
00:29:38Annie!
00:29:39Mommy, I'm here!
00:29:43How are you?
00:29:44Hey, don't cry.
00:29:45I'm good.
00:29:46Auntie Natalie's on the phone.
00:29:49Hi, Auntie Natalie.
00:29:50Can we have another girls' night?
00:29:52This time I'm bringing Mommy.
00:29:54Wait a minute.
00:29:55They're not Natalie's daughter and husband?
00:29:58Dude, I knew it!
00:30:04Carl, the IPO filings are looking solid.
00:30:07Let's make sure everything's in place.
00:30:09We don't want any trouble with the SEC.
00:30:12Why is it Natalie Collins in this meeting?
00:30:15She asked for the day off.
00:30:17It's Valentine's Day, probably on a hot date.
00:30:19Bet she has men lining up, too.
00:30:32It's Valentine's Day, probably on a hot date.
00:30:34Bet she has men lining up, too.
00:30:36Ms. Natalie Collins is the lead on this IPO.
00:30:39She does not miss meetings.
00:30:40Now, if this case is not important to the firm or Ms. Collins,
00:30:43I'm more than happy to pull the plug on the entire thing altogether.
00:30:47As a partner in this firm, I assure you, it is our top priority.
00:30:54I'll buy you a candle.
00:30:58Thanks for spending the day with me, Mommy.
00:31:01There is nowhere else I can go.
00:31:03Thanks 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.
00:31:21Yes, 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.
00:31:30You 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?
00:31:36The firm was considering promoting you to partner next year,
00:31:39but if we lose Hayes, you can kiss that goodbye.
00:31:44Don't worry, I will smooth things over with Hayes.
00:31:47You better!
00:31:52Baby, I'm so sorry. Mommy has to go into work.
00:31:57But Auntie Evie will come watch you.
00:31:59I have to go pee, Mommy.
00:32:01Oh, you're such a brave boy.
00:32:04I'm so sorry.
00:32:19Hi, I'm Natalie Collins with Johnson & Meyer Spa Firm.
00:32:22Is Mr. Hayes on today?
00:32:24Sorry, no he's not.
00:32:30Is Mr. Hayes here today?
00:32:32I'm sorry, no, he's not in right now.
00:32:36Oh, Natalie, you looking for Mr. Hayes?
00:32:38I'm going to meet him at the golf course right now. Do you want to join us?
00:32:41Thank you so much.
00:32:49Hi, I'm Natalie Collins with Johnson & Meyer Spa Firm.
00:32:52Is Mr. Hayes on today?
00:32:54Sorry, no, he's not in right now.
00:32:57Oh, hey, aren't you Kevin's new wife?
00:33:00Natalie Collins, right?
00:33:02Top grad at Stanford, fastest rising associate. Why don't you come join my firm?
00:33:05No, thank you. I am actually very happy where I am.
00:33:08I'm actually here to discuss something with Mr. Hayes.
00:33:11Discuss what?
00:33:13You just think you can show up here whenever you want and I'll drop everything?
00:33:27This is business. Don't make it personal.
00:33:30Okay, when you missed my meeting and played hooky, it became my business.
00:33:35I didn't play hooky. I assure you I had a legitimate excuse for staying home that day.
00:33:39Well, your excuses are irrelevant.
00:33:41You know, you really should go. Carl here was just handing the IPO filing over to me, so...
00:33:46Handing over the IPO filing to you?
00:33:48You're seriously going to hand over the IPO case to a firm that has no experience with the firm?
00:33:53Well, I'm sure they'll show up to meetings.
00:33:56Let's make a bet. Steve and I will play against each other and whoever makes a hole in one secures the deal.
00:34:02What do you think, Steve?
00:34:04You know, I was the top golfer at this club last year. You're not even dressed properly.
00:34:08Just hit the ball.
00:34:15If you want to change your mind, it's not too late.
00:34:18If you want to change your mind, it's not too late.
00:34:21Okay.
00:34:46A hole in one! Amazing!
00:34:48How 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?
00:34:58The firm? Yes.
00:35:00You? 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.
00:35:12Now that's exactly what happens when you sleep with a client.
00:35:43That's weird.
00:35:50Let me go!
00:35:52Hey, go ahead and scream. Nobody can hear you out here.
00:35:58You know, I really hate losing to ugly bitches like you.
00:36:01I don't care if you're ugly or not.
00:36:03I don't care if you're ugly or not.
00:36:05I don't care if you're ugly or not.
00:36:07I don't care if you're ugly or not.
00:36:09I don't care if you're ugly or not.
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!
00:36:19I'll give you ten times what your law firm pays.
00:36:21You just have to open your legs for me this time.
00:36:27Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:36:29This is a misunderstanding.
00:36:31One more word from you, and I'll finish you dead.
00:36:41My car's over here, come with me, okay?
00:36:51Come on, get up.
00:36:55Oh no, Patrick's at home.
00:36:59Actually, I can just take an Uber, it's fine.
00:37:11You really can't take me home?
00:37:24Why not?
00:37:26Because my husband, he wouldn't feel comfortable with another man driving me home.
00:37:32Okay, well whoever this guy is who's your husband, yeah 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, I would stop fighting me on this if I was you.
00:37:54Time to go.
00:38:00Watch your step, ready?
00:38:07Okay.
00:38:28Patrick, how would you like to go to the park?
00:38:31Cool, when?
00:38:32Now.
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.
00:38:59Fine.
00:39:01There'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 smart.
00:39:17Oh, so you do have a piece of men's clothing around here.
00:39:19What's this? Is this my old jersey?
00:39:32Is this my old jersey?
00:39:35That old thing, I completely forgot that it even existed.
00:39:38So you wouldn't care if I just threw it out, it's whatever, right?
00:39:44Okay.
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 ball field.
00:39:54But I'm actually glad that you left because 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, you know what, where's your bathroom?
00:40:14I'll go get you a towel with some ice.
00:40:16Oh no, if 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? I've literally been here for five minutes and you're already pushing me out?
00:40:31Okay.
00:40:32Wait.
00:40:44I really appreciate you bringing me back here, I 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 okay.
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, if you want the box pack you can come to the office tomorrow and we can discuss working together.
00:41:29I'll bring the IPO paperwork tomorrow.
00:41:32Actually, I have meetings all day tomorrow.
00:41:36Why 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.
00:42:10Night.
00:42:12Hey there, little guy.
00:42:15What can I help you with?
00:42:17I'm looking for Carl Hayes.
00:42:19Oh, well, you're going to need an appointment to see our CEO.
00:42:22He's very busy.
00:42:24Where's my Daddy?
00:42:25What?
00:42:26Mr. Hayes has a kid?
00:42:28Since when?
00:42:30Robin, can you please...
00:42:32Daddy, there you are.
00:42:37Hey!
00:42:39What are you doing here?
00:42:41I just wanted to say hi, Daddy.
00:42:44Well, you know what?
00:42:46I'm not your daddy.
00:42:48Kid, I'm sorry.
00:42:50But if me and Natalie had a child, he'd probably be around this age.
00:42:55I just wanted to say thank you for the coin.
00:42:59I loved it.
00:43:01That's why I came here today, to return the favor.
00:43:04Oh, really?
00:43:06Remember at the park?
00:43:09I wanted to show you the most beautiful woman in the world, my Mommy.
00:43:13But I could not find her.
00:43:15But I have her picture.
00:43:17I'm going to show you.
00:43:19The 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?
00:43:38If you put your number in here, I'll send you the picture of my beautiful Mommy.
00:43:50Here's Mr. Carl's number.
00:43:52Just send the photo there.
00:43:56Can you hold this?
00:44:20You see, buddy, this, um...
00:44:22This is not your Mommy.
00:44:24That's a movie star, you know that?
00:44:26But it's just that Mommy is really busy.
00:44:29She never has time to take fancy pictures.
00:44:32I swear, she's just as pretty as this lady.
00:44:35I swear.
00:44:37All right, I, uh...
00:44:39I believe you.
00:44:41Ryan, can you please, please take him home?
00:44:43Yeah.
00:44:45Sure. Come on, buddy. I'll take you home.
00:44:49Come on.
00:45:10I have been trying to reach you for over a week regarding the IPO,
00:45:13and you haven't answered any of my calls.
00:45:15Well, you know what? You really shouldn't be on that ankle of yours.
00:45:17Okay, wait a minute.
00:45:19Hey, Mr. Hayes actually has an important appointment.
00:45:21If you'd like to speak with him, you can go ahead and schedule an appointment with me.
00:45:24An appointment? I've been trying to schedule one for over a week.
00:45:27Okay, maybe you should just...
00:45:29You 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.
00:45:43She just sat there and waited all day for Mr. Hayes.
00:45:47Someone should have told her that he left hours ago.
00:45:56Next time you see Mr. Hayes, please let him know to call me.
00:46:00Okay.
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Hello, Natalie. Mr. Hayes is available to see you now.
00:46:31Hello?
00:46:36I'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. Put him on.
00:46:47Natalie?
00:46:49Isn't this a little childish, even for you?
00:46:51Not really. I'm actually having fun.
00:46:55I swear it's like you're on the field again playing games.
00:47:01Ah!
00:47:02Natalie? Natalie! Hey!
00:47:27What?
00:47:30Where am I?
00:47:32What happened?
00:47:35Hey, hey! You okay?
00:47:38Lie down, lie down.
00:47:41What happened?
00:47:43You were in a car accident, and 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! Don't worry about your meetings, okay?
00:47:57I will handle it, I promise.
00:47:59And when this is over, we will start that business together.
00:48:04Alright? No more games for me.
00:48:08And you know what?
00:48:10You, you get some rest, okay?
00:48:13And I'm going to get you some food.
00:48:16Alright?
00:48:28Phone rings
00:48:38Hi, baby!
00:48:50Mommy, I had a really bad dream.
00:48:53You did?
00:48:54Auntie Evie said you went out of town, and I had a dream that you got in an accident, and you got really hurt.
00:49:04Baby, it was just a dream.
00:49:06Mommy, where are you?
00:49:08I'm at a convention for work. I'll be home soon, okay?
00:49:16You were always the first one to cave, and 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.
00:49:36Mommy, you know I love you very, very much.
00:49:39Did I just hear somebody say mommy?
00:49:51I'm sorry, I just, I need to ask you this.
00:49:54Did I just hear somebody say mommy?
00:49:57No, just a random thing I found on the internet.
00:50:01It's nothing.
00:50:05Okay.
00:50:07I brought you some food.
00:50:10It's gonna make you feel better.
00:50:15Okay.
00:50:17I, um, I brought you some food.
00:50:20Just because I figure the food they serve here is probably not great.
00:50:28It's not just any food.
00:50:30You went all the way to your favorite restaurant that you guys loved so much in college.
00:50:36Don't you have a meeting you have to get to?
00:50:39I know what I'm not wanting.
00:50:42Natalie?
00:50:43See you later.
00:50:49You can stop pretending.
00:50:51I'm not your responsibility.
00:50:53Hey.
00:50:57I am the reason you got into that car accident.
00:50:59Okay, so yes, you are my responsibility.
00:51:04Okay.
00:51:10What are you doing?
00:51:21Well, you dropped this in my car.
00:51:24So when I found it broken, I went and got it fixed for you.
00:51:33You're welcome.
00:51:41You should go.
00:51:45Okay.
00:51:52It's almost as if, no, of course you don't still see me in that way.
00:51:57Not after seven years.
00:52:03Okay.
00:52:12That bitch again?
00:52:14What was Carl doing here?
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:30Oh, that's lovely.
00:52:33Hi.
00:52:39Jessica, I didn't know you'd be joining me and Mother for dinner.
00:52:43Surprise.
00:52:44I 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, except my apartment is really far away from my new job.
00:52:54Well, 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.
00:53:15I'll be right back.
00:53:19You know, I think it's time I take you back to your place, Mom.
00:53:28I was at the hospital today and I saw you visiting that witch.
00:53:32Why are you still tangled up in that married woman's mess?
00:53:36Didn'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.
00:53:46And 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. Okay?
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.
00:54:44That one contract alone is going to keep us afloat for ages.
00:54:49Good 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.
00:55:13Go better.
00:55:22Natalie!
00:55:24Look.
00:55:26It's Carl Hayes and Jessica Houston.
00:55:30Have you seen the tabloids?
00:55:32No. What about them?
00:55:34They're getting married next year.
00:55:52They're getting married next year.
00:55:54You and Carl seem to be on good terms, right?
00:55:56Maybe you should try and land the prenup.
00:56:00I gotta say hi.
00:56:04Of course he's engaged again.
00:56:06It's not like he was actually going to wait for you.
00:56:22Excuse me, how much is this?
00:56:24Oh, that is $200,000.
00:56:28That is steep.
00:56:34Wrap it up for the lady. Put it on my tab.
00:56:38Carl, no. I can't accept that. It's too much.
00:56:42Well, you like it, don't you?
00:56:44Just 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.
00:57:14Your mom got that for you.
00:57:17Tell me.
00:57:23So, is it a boy or a girl?
00:57:26Um...
00:57:28You must...
00:57:30Misunderstood. I don't have any children.
00:57:32Oh.
00:57:37Why did you think that she had a child?
00:57:39Oh, because that size chain is usually for kids.
00:57:48I need you to find everything you can on Natalie Collins right now.
00:58:08If Carl finds out that little Brett is his, he'll go back to Natalie.
00:58:13I can't let that happen.
00:58:16What?
00:58:22Natalie Collins almost drowned at 16 and can't swim?
00:58:37Stay the hell away from my man!
00:58:40Ah! Ah!
00:58:42Ah!
00:58:46Ah!
00:58:50Ah!
00:58:53No!
00:58:55Ah!
00:58:58Carl!
00:59:02Natalie!
00:59:17Hey.
00:59:19Did you see that?
00:59:21Mr. Hayes didn't save his fiancée?
00:59:24Who is this other woman?
00:59:26She seems very important to him.
00:59:28He really went all out for her?
00:59:30You're okay.
00:59:34Hey.
00:59:38You're okay.
00:59:40Hey.
00:59:42You're okay.
00:59:46You're okay.
00:59:50Look at me.
00:59:52Look at me. Hey.
00:59:54Lay down. Lay down.
00:59:58I can't lose you.
01:00:00Hey. Hey, 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.
01:00:09I'll let what you did to Natalie this time slide.
01:00:12If you do this again, you're going to regret it.
01:00:30Thank you again for saving me.
01:00:33Listen, no matter what happens between us, I will always be there to protect you.
01:00:40Good night.
01:01:03Good night.
01:01:15We shouldn't...
01:01:17Invite me inside.
01:01:19I...
01:01:20Come on, you can...
01:01:22Wait, was 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.
01:01:35Well, you can thank me by letting me inside so we can continue this conversation.
01:01:41I really can't.
01:01:44What are you hiding from me?
01:01:50Mommy, is that you?
01:02:01I'm sorry, did I just hear somebody inside say mommy?
01:02:05No, it was just Alexa.
01:02:07Sometimes she says random things when it hears voices.
01:02:11Anyway, good night.
01:02:16All right.
01:02:18Good 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.
01:02:40Okay.
01:02:48Why 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.
01:03:10You
01:03:24Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from my son?
01:03:28Odelia.
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.
01:03:38Carl 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.
01:03:51I'm sure they can dig up more charges on your brother.
01:03:56You
01:04:07Carl sent me.
01:04:09Clearly he thought you needed the business. Yikes.
01:04:13What can I help you with, Jessica?
01:04:15We need you to draft a prenup.
01:04:18I can't believe him. Asking me to draft up their prenup?
01:04:22Is this his way of getting back at me?
01:04:25No.
01:04:33Odelia, 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.
01:04:51Joanne.
01:04:53No, Odelia, that's not...
01:04:55That's not Joanna. Don't you remember?
01:04:57Joanna 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.
01:05:24What the hell happened?
01:05:25Just rest, okay?
01:05:27She saw a girl that looked like Joanna and she just...
01:05:29She just ran after her, okay?
01:05:32You know, ever since Natalie returned,
01:05:34your 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,
01:05:46so 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,
01:05:54she's still the one you choose?
01:05:56She killed your sister.
01:05:58Or did you forget that?
01:06:00Okay, Mother. You all right?
01:06:02Let's calm down.
01:06:03Why should I?
01:06:05My son has lost his mind over some slut!
01:06:11Okay, Mother.
01:06:13All right, look at me.
01:06:15Relax.
01:06:16Get out.
01:06:17Because you can't have both of us.
01:06:19It's either me or her.
01:06:21Okay, hey!
01:06:23Relax.
01:06:24All right, yeah, Joanna is gone,
01:06:26but I'm still with Natalie. Nothing has changed.
01:06:28If it wasn't for her,
01:06:30you could have saved your sister.
01:06:32Yeah?
01:06:33Well, you know what?
01:06:34Joanna 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?
01:06:44I have spent the last seven years
01:06:46protecting my happiness for you.
01:06:48Not anymore.
01:06:49You can contact me when you're ready to accept Natalie.
01:07:19Okay.
01:07:42Hi.
01:07:43Hi.
01:07:44Where are you?
01:07:46What do you want?
01:07:47Hey, listen.
01:07:48Give up on you, okay? On me, and you, ever.
01:07:53Promise, no matter what.
01:07:56Okay, uh...
01:07:59There we go.
01:08:01Remind me of your assistant's name.
01:08:06You can be his problem.
01:08:07Okay.
01:08:11No!
01:08:13What do you want from me?
01:08:15My fiancé.
01:08:19Okay.
01:08:24Tell your fiancé I'm not interested in your guys' prenup, okay?
01:08:39Prenup?
01:08:40The one Jessica said you wanted!
01:08:42Who said I wanted a prenup with her?
01:08:44Okay.
01:08:48Don't do this.
01:09:00Hey.
01:09:02There's never been anyone that I've ever thought about.
01:09:07You are the only one.
01:09:09Just one more night.
01:09:14Okay.
01:09:29Patrick's about to wake up.
01:09:32He can't see Carl in my bed.
01:09:44Wake up, wake up, wake up.
01:09:46Why, what's wrong?
01:09:47Shh.
01:09:49Come on.
01:09:55For what?
01:09:57Get up.
01:09:58Why?
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.
01:10:14No.
01:10:31Mommy, I dreamed that you were talking to someone again.
01:10:38No.
01:10:40It was the delivery man.
01:10:44One of mommy's friends got you a late birthday present.
01:10:55What does this pattern mean?
01:10:58Well, this right here is a Möbius strip.
01:11:05It's when two people who start off in the same place go around alone.
01:11:10And then end up together again at the beginning.
01:11:41Are you crazy?
01:11:47I'm just going after what I want.
01:11:50Where are your gifts?
01:11:57Let me tell you something.
01:11:59I handpicked every single one of those gifts for you.
01:12:03You were drunk last night, Carl.
01:12:05It doesn't make any sense.
01:12:07How is it?
01:12:08Living with Jessica, by the way.
01:12:10Who told you that?
01:12:11Because we are not living together.
01:12:13And we are definitely not engaged.
01:12:15Yeah, right.
01:12:19Are you jealous?
01:12:20As if.
01:12:22Your mom would never allow us to be together anyway.
01:12:24Absolutely no one will stop me from being with you.
01:12:28Not even my mother.
01:12:30She will come around.
01:12:32She will come around.
01:12:34Not even my mother.
01:12:36She will come around.
01:12:39I promise.
01:12:40Once you settle things with Odelia,
01:12:43I'll finally tell you what I've been keeping from you.
01:12:59We failed Joanna, not Natalie.
01:13:01How dare you?
01:13:02And you know what?
01:13:03I've spent the last seven years protecting 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.
01:13:34It's okay, Mom.
01:13:37She understands.
01:13:39I'm so sorry.
01:13:41I've been such a terrible mother.
01:13:44I've caused you so much pain.
01:14:04Mom, all of this is in the past, okay?
01:14:08And Joanna would not want you to live the rest of your life in regret.
01:14:12Okay?
01:14:18Hey, Carl.
01:14:20My mom wants to apologize.
01:14:21She invited us to dinner, so just let me know when you're off work.
01:14:24Really?
01:14:26Odelia's ready to accept us?
01:14:34Okay.
01:14:42Carl belongs to me.
01:14:45It's time to do what I should have done a long time ago.
01:15:03Ah!
01:15:08Mommy, you're awake!
01:15:11Mommy.
01:15:17Who are you?
01:15:18What do you want?
01:15:19If it's money, I can pay.
01:15:23She doesn't want your money.
01:15:24She wants you and your kid out of the way.
01:15:29Who is she?
01:15:30I'll tell you in the morning.
01:15:31So you can die knowing who did this to you.
01:15:37Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
01:15:45Hey, um, listen, I've been expecting Natalie for over an hour now.
01:15:50Did she leave work?
01:15:52She did leave the office, but that was a few hours ago.
01:16:02Henry, hey, listen, Natalie is missing.
01:16:05I'm going to need you to make some calls.
01:16:07Also, I'm going to need the surveillance footage from her office from the last few hours.
01:16:10Can you do that?
01:16:12Yeah, I'm going to need to know exactly where Natalie's at.
01:16:19Yeah?
01:16:20Boss, no one's seen Natalie.
01:16:22All the office surveillance footage for the last few hours has been wiped clean.
01:16:32Yes, hello, police chief.
01:16:34Garcia Lee, this is the police.
01:16:35I'm calling to report a missing Natalie.
01:16:37I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:38I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:39I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:40I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:41I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:42I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:43I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:44I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:45I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:46I'm sorry, I can't.
01:16:47Police chief Garcia, listen, this is Carl Hayes.
01:16:49I'm going to need a big favor from you, and I'm going to need it right now.
01:17:17That's the necklace I gave Natalie.
01:17:31Patrick is my son?
01:17:34I'm sorry.
01:17:36I'm sorry.
01:17:38I'm sorry.
01:17:40I'm sorry.
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!
01:18:00You have no right!
01:18:01Actually, we traced a recent $100,000 payment from you to the kidnapper here.
01:18:06You said no one was going to notice that she's gone.
01:18:08Now the whole city's hunting for her?
01:18:11Odelia, please, this is all just a big misunderstanding, okay?
01:18:15I don't even know the man.
01:18:16Get her out of my sight.
01:18:18Yes, ma'am.
01:18:19Let's go, missy.
01:18:20No, no, please!
01:18:21It wasn't me!
01:18:22It wasn't me!
01:18:37Daddy, I knew you would come to save us.
01:18:41He looks just like Carl when Carl was his age.
01:18:49He's really my son.
01:18:52Isn't he?
01:19:04I was going to tell you the day you proposed.
01:19:13Mommy, Daddy, we're finally family now.
01:19:23Daddy.
01:19:37I'm so sorry for everything I put you through over the years.
01:19:41Natalie, please accept these gifts.
01:19:45A title deed to two villas, a Maserati key, and some custom jewelry.
01:19:52Odelia, you didn't have to do all this.
01:19:55I can't believe I left you to raise Patrick alone for seven years.
01:20:03It was me.
01:20:05I was the one who drove Natalie away.
01:20:08Mom, what are you saying?
01:20:09When you were in the hospital after the stabbing, I told her that you didn't want to see her again.
01:20:23I'm sorry.
01:20:29I thought you hated me.
01:20:32And I thought that you abandoned me and never wanted to see me again.
01:20:38I'll never come between the two of you again.
01:20:45I forgive you.
01:20:47As a mother, I can only imagine how the death of Joanna affected you.
01:20:53These are for you.
01:20:55I hope you like them.
01:20:57Thanks, Grandma.
01:21:05From now on, you'll have everything you could ever want and all the love in the world.
01:21:22I love you.
01:21:53Where are they?
01:21:59What's going on?
01:22:01You'll see.
01:22:22Okay.
01:22:25Natalie, my love.
01:22:30This wedding has been a long time coming.
01:22:37Mommy!
01:22:43Can I get this?
01:22:52I love you.
01:23:00I love you, Swing.
01:23:03Just like you always want to.
01:23:06Dearly beloved, we are gathered in this beautiful setting to celebrate a union of two souls.
01:23:16They have endured great hardship, but their love has survived.
01:23:24Better late than never.
01:23:27And from now on, it's you and me, always and forever.
