00:00I wonder, will he recognize me?
00:04Wow, hello beautiful.
00:06What's your name?
00:08Nora Smith.
00:10Are you waiting for her?
00:12Oh, no, sweetheart, I am not.
00:14Nothing to do with that ugly woman.
00:16I don't even want to see her.
00:18Then you're probably blind, sir.
00:20What? Why?
00:22The man who dumped Nora for being ugly nine years ago
00:26was now drooling over her,
00:28unaware that she is the same girl back to settle scores.
00:35You're pregnant.
00:36What?
00:37That can't be true.
00:39I'm a virgin.
00:40We ran all the tests.
00:41Must be some sort of miracle.
00:44Congratulations.
00:47But,
00:49my father,
00:52he's gonna kick me out of the house.
00:54Let's check again.
00:55It must be a mistake.
00:56I'm only fat.
00:58Calm down.
01:01You really are pregnant.
01:03Then let's get rid of the problem.
01:05Take it easy.
01:06No, let's just do it.
01:07Take a deep breath.
01:09I really need you to calm down.
01:11No, please, let's just do it.
01:13Unfortunately, this is no longer an option in your case.
01:16Why? Because I'm too young?
01:19You're 19.
01:21However, with your physiology,
01:23this could lead to infertility in the future.
01:26Take a seat.
01:28No.
01:34Everything's gonna be alright.
01:36Take a deep breath.
01:38Calm down.
01:39Nurse?
01:45Everything's gonna be alright.
01:46At that moment, I thought my life was over.
01:49But it was just the beginning.
01:53I can't believe it.
01:54Tell me who did this to you.
01:56I'm telling you the truth, Dad.
01:58I don't know what's wrong with me.
01:59Don't lie.
02:00I need to know who the father of the child is.
02:03I don't know, Dad.
02:04There is no father.
02:06Then you don't have a father either.
02:08What?
02:09Tell me the truth.
02:11How did you get pregnant?
02:13Daddy, I don't know. It's not my fault.
02:16Well, then get rid of it.
02:18It's too late.
02:19I'm already in my second trimester.
02:20That's bullshit!
02:28Try to come up with a better excuse before your fiancée gets here.
02:32You don't need an excuse, Mr. Smith.
02:34Mr. Gray.
02:36Please don't be mad.
02:38There's a...
02:39a mistake.
02:41I'll take care of it.
02:42Too late.
02:44I've already made my mind up.
02:45Anthony, listen to me.
02:47No, you listen to me.
02:48I am sick of looking at her pig face.
02:50And now she's pregnant?
02:51With another man's baby?
02:53This is my half-sister, Angela.
02:55And she's very unhappy that my father wants me to marry Anthony.
03:01You are so ugly.
03:04And pregnant.
03:07And engaged.
03:08I have no interest in becoming a hero.
03:12Why would I take on that responsibility?
03:14Come on, it's just us.
03:16Sisters.
03:17How'd you get pregnant?
03:18Because it would fix a lot of our problems.
03:21And you know what I mean.
03:23You want to fix the problem?
03:26Have a drink.
03:28Fine.
03:30I'll marry your daughter.
03:32Anthony, that's beautiful.
03:35But I have one condition.
03:38Get rid of that baby.
03:39What?
03:40No, that's impossible.
03:42I know.
03:43I know about your doctor's little verdict.
03:46But that child doesn't belong with us.
03:48No, you have no right.
03:50Don't worry, Anthony.
03:52I've already taken care of everything.
03:54You'll have a baby.
03:55But we'll give it to a special orphanage.
03:59No!
04:00That's horrible.
04:02What has money done to you?
04:03Is your greed worth more than your grandchild?
04:06Is it?
04:08My stomach.
04:12Nora!
04:14Nora!
04:15You've got to be kidding me.
04:21Nora.
04:22Nora!
04:24Nora!
04:27Nine years have passed.
04:29Time has changed me a lot.
04:32I have little in common with that frightened 19-year-old girl of the past.
04:36Except...
04:37Mom.
04:38You're so beautiful.
04:40Thanks, Fabie.
04:41Like you.
04:43Mom.
04:44Are we flying to the States to find my daddy?
04:47Cherry, come on.
04:49I've explained this to you.
04:53You don't have a daddy.
04:55But everyone has a father.
04:57I should have one too.
04:59This conversation is over.
05:01Come on.
05:02Well then, if not my dad, then at least we'll find my brother?
05:07Yes, honey.
05:08We will.
05:10We will.
05:11Now, go grab your bags.
05:15Okay.
05:16After I gave birth to twins, and ran away from home with the baby my father didn't steal,
05:22I completely changed who I was.
05:28Now my name is Athena.
05:30In my past life, I was just a tool for my family to make more money.
05:35But now, I can stand up for not only myself, but for my children.
05:41Hello?
05:41Athena, you have got to be more careful, you hear me?
05:44Spike, what's the matter?
05:45Justin Hunt is running a global search to find out who you are.
05:49Do you have any idea how dangerous he and his family are?
05:52He won't let up until he finds you.
05:53Spike, listen.
05:54No, you listen.
05:55You've been overseas all this time.
05:56That's the only reason you've been able to avoid him.
05:59You're the most prestigious searcher in the world.
06:01You're the only person who's ever been able to find out who you are.
06:04You're the only person who's ever been able to find out who you are.
06:07You're the only person who's ever been able to find out who you are.
06:08You're the most prestigious surgeon.
06:10You could just cure his grandmother and be done with it.
06:12Hunt's family is very influential in the business world, but it's complicated.
06:17If I get involved with the Hunts, I'll be drawn into the struggle for power and inheritance.
06:23And why should I stick my nose into the business of some other family's public affairs?
06:28Athena, you're wrong.
06:29Let's talk about this, and then you can come.
06:30No, Spike.
06:31I'm sick of it.
06:32I just want to find my son and be okay.
06:35Now, I have to go to the airport.
06:37Athena.
06:37Bye, Spike.
06:38Athena!
06:44I didn't expect anyone to meet me, and I didn't really want to see anyone at all.
06:49But my fiancé, Anthony, was waiting for me.
06:52What time is it?
06:533 p.m., sir.
06:54Goddamn it, where is this fricking woman?
06:56Mr. Gray, I advise you to refrain from doing things that are too unpleasant,
06:59as your father told you to do, even if you are breaking up a relationship.
07:02Shut up, will you? Just shut up, all right?
07:04Tell me what to do.
07:06I thought of even seeing this ugly woman puts me in a bad mood.
07:09But she looks even worse now.
07:13I wonder, will he recognize me?
07:21Wow, hello, beautiful.
07:23What's your name?
07:24Nora Smith.
07:27Are you waiting for her?
07:29No, sweetheart, I am not.
07:31Nothing to do with that ugly woman.
07:33I don't even want to see her.
07:36You're probably blind, sir.
07:38What? Why?
07:40Come on, baby, we gotta go.
07:42He didn't realize I was Nora.
07:44Anthony remained the same unfriendly man as I always remembered him.
07:49Hey, sweetheart, what's your name?
07:55You know, if Nora was half as beautiful as that girl,
07:58I might consider the marriage.
08:00Maybe.
08:02All right, give me the sign.
08:06And the flowers.
08:08I'll even pay you for it.
08:24Hello, Dad.
08:25Why aren't you picking up the phone?
08:27Where are you?
08:28Dad.
08:29Why do you have to arouse the whole family and then disappear again?
08:31Dad, it won't be long.
08:33Won't be long?
08:34All that fuss about breaking off the engagement.
08:36Come here and stop wasting our time.
08:51Hi.
08:53Oh, God. Sorry, baby.
08:55Let me help you.
08:57I'm not a baby.
08:59I'm an adult, and even I need help sometimes, too.
09:01Do you like reading?
09:04Yes.
09:05Me, too.
09:06That's cool.
09:08Sorry I didn't see you.
09:10It's okay. My dad and I are running late,
09:12which is why I was in a rush.
09:14This child.
09:16His eyes seem so familiar to me.
09:20But I couldn't remember where I'd seen them.
09:22I gotta get going.
09:24But I'll see you around?
09:26Bye.
09:27Bye.
09:29I didn't know who it was.
09:31You ready to go, son?
09:33Yes, Dad.
09:35But even then, I knew that this meeting was fateful.
09:45She's Norris, so...
09:47No.
09:48Go tell Angie. Do it.
09:50She'll love it.
09:51Stop it, Gina.
09:52Yeah, tell her that funny joke again.
09:54I'm telling you, Norris is not ugly.
09:56We know what she wants.
09:57No, she's not. She's prettier than both of you!
10:00Well,
10:02if you really think your cousin is so beautiful,
10:04I suggest you prove it.
10:06And if you can prove it,
10:08I'll eat this picture.
10:12And if you can't,
10:14you eat it.
10:16You must be joking.
10:18I see.
10:20You're just a coward.
10:22You're just as ugly as Nora.
10:24Come on.
10:26Eat it, Lisa.
10:29Are you kidding me?
10:31Eat it.
10:33It's so yummy.
10:41What do you think?
10:43Do you like it?
10:45Oh, may I?
10:47Let's wish Angela Smith a happy birthday.
10:49I'm gonna ruin you.
10:51Who the hell are you?
10:53Girls, what's going on here?
10:55Me?
10:57I'm Nora.
10:59Nora Smith.
11:01No, it can't be.
11:03It can. You bet it can.
11:07Oh, Nora.
11:11I can't believe it.
11:13Nora!
11:15Nora's back!
11:17I'm so happy to see you!
11:19There's no need to put on a show, Angela.
11:21A bed is a bed.
11:24So, are you gonna eat my picture?
11:26Shut up, both of you.
11:28Nora, what do you think you're doing?
11:30I waited all these years for you to do this.
11:32Okay, guys.
11:34Let's not make a big scene here.
11:36Henry, let's go into your office.
11:38You can talk to your daughter there.
11:42Okay.
11:44Enjoy. Have fun.
11:54Okay.
11:56Nora, honey.
11:58Do you remember why you came here?
12:00You came to break off your engagement with Anthony.
12:02You're right, Dad.
12:04And I don't care about any of your businesses.
12:06Because I'm gonna do it no matter what.
12:08All right.
12:10Whatever you say.
12:12What?
12:14Just like that?
12:16Yeah.
12:18We've all been waiting a long time for that
12:20since, um,
12:22Anthony found himself another girl.
12:24Oh.
12:26He probably did it again for the money.
12:28God, what a clever boy.
12:30I'm so happy for him.
12:32Actually, he loves me.
12:34What?
12:36Anthony in love?
12:38Are you kidding me? It's absurd.
12:40I didn't expect it, sis.
12:42Thank you for bringing such good news for my birthday.
12:44But I would have liked a better present from you.
12:46You almost got everything you wanted.
12:48What more do you want?
12:51Here. Sign.
12:53What is it?
12:55This is a donation
12:57of your stock in the company.
13:01It's the memory of my mother.
13:03Of your wife, Dad.
13:05Ex-wife.
13:09Sorry.
13:11You know, I couldn't give this to you even if I wanted to.
13:13They belong to me.
13:15By inheritance.
13:17Before you couldn't. Now you can.
13:20The inheritance papers expired just two years ago.
13:22So it's simple.
13:24You want a divorce, you sign the papers,
13:26and you're free.
13:28I'm not gonna do it.
13:30Come on, Nora. I believe in you.
13:32I'm not gonna do it, no matter what.
13:34Are you gonna stop her?
13:36You need it.
13:38You bring her back.
13:44Get back here right now!
13:46Leave me alone.
13:48Are you going to try to get Anthony back?
13:50Is this the real reason why you're here?
13:52Get out of my face.
13:54Don't lie to me.
13:56I see right through you. You are so shameless.
13:58Don't even think Anthony will take you back
14:00just because you get a little
14:02less ugly.
14:04He would never marry someone like you.
14:09You ruined yourself with that baby.
14:11Where's your little freak now, huh?
14:13Or did you finally give up on her
14:15like your father gave up on you?
14:18If you say
14:20one more thing about my daughter,
14:22that slap will feel like a gentle stroke.
14:26Happy happy birthday, Angela.
14:28Cheers!
14:34This has all been so unbearable.
14:36I can't get Angela's words
14:38out of my head.
14:40It's like I'm back to who I was.
14:42But I really don't know
14:44how I got pregnant nine years ago.
14:46All that remains
14:48is to find out the truth.
14:56What's going on?
14:58Oh my god, it's Justin Hunt.
15:00I only saw him from behind earlier.
15:02I didn't know.
15:04And that little boy turns out to be his son.
15:06Ladies, can we please
15:08drop the phone? No, please.
15:10It's just some pictures.
15:12Oh, I heard that his kid wants some candy.
15:15No pictures. Please, ladies, no pictures.
15:17Now it's clear what all the fuss is about.
15:19Hunt's family was afraid
15:21that the media would try to take pictures
15:23of their youngest child.
15:25And it might cause trouble for them.
15:27But there could be trouble for me too.
15:29What if he finds out I'm Athena?
15:31Miss Smith?
15:33Yes?
15:35Stay away from my son.
15:39Besides,
15:41you're not my type.
15:45That's it. Go about your business.
15:55Mr. Hunt, can we go?
15:57What are you talking about?
15:59That woman.
16:01I saw the way she was talking to my son.
16:03You want me to go back and have a proper chat with her?
16:05No.
16:07That's the thing.
16:09He usually avoids women.
16:11He's a super shy kid, but not this time.
16:14It's kind of weird.
16:16Sir, what do you want us to do now, sir?
16:20Nothing.
16:22Yet.
16:24We'll see.
16:26Let's go.
16:33That sub sounded like it really hurt.
16:35It did.
16:37Happy birthday, darling.
16:39What took you so long?
16:41I had some business
16:43to take care of.
16:45Okay.
16:47May we, uh...
16:49Nora was here.
16:51Are you sure?
16:53Yeah.
16:55Okay. Let's go.
17:01Did she hit you?
17:07Did she refuse to call off the engagement?
17:09Alright.
17:11Let's go through it.
17:13No.
17:15Anthony.
17:17There's no need.
17:19She just...
17:21She just doesn't want to give up the company.
17:23This isn't about you.
17:25But don't worry.
17:27I'll convince her eventually.
17:31Okay.
17:33We have to get this company
17:35for people to support our engagement.
17:38But...
17:40I will let you handle this.
17:42I don't want to see
17:44her horrible face anyways.
17:46I bet she got even uglier
17:48when she was away, didn't she?
17:50You don't have to worry about
17:52seeing her face ever again.
17:54I'll sort it out. I promise.
17:56Great.
18:08Hello, Mr. Gray.
18:10Did you find that woman I asked for?
18:12I'm sorry, sir, but we're working on it.
18:14Are you sure it's worth the effort?
18:16Are you kidding me?
18:18I need you to listen to me carefully.
18:20Alright? She's all I've been thinking about
18:22this whole time.
18:24It'd be great if I could marry her instead of Angela
18:26so I don't have to worry about her.
18:28Okay.
18:30I'm sorry.
18:32I'm sorry.
18:34I'm sorry.
18:36I need you to tell me her name.
18:38Now.
18:40Mr. Gray, I couldn't find out the identity
18:42of your mystery woman, but I did find
18:44the hotel where she's staying.
18:46What are you waiting for, you dumbass?
18:48Send it to me right now.
19:00Solo, give me everything you can find
19:02on Idealian Pharmaceuticals and fast.
19:04Hey, watch your tone, Athena.
19:06You can't just boss me around
19:08because you saved my life.
19:10I'm the number one hacker in the world
19:12and I deserve respect.
19:14Solo, please.
19:16And be quick about it.
19:18I don't run errands for nothing.
19:20Name a fair price and we'll see.
19:22How's that?
19:24Sure. How much is the cost of your life?
19:26Your life that I saved.
19:28Okay, get on your computer.
19:30Alright, right now your email's gonna have
19:32information on Idealian Pharmaceuticals.
19:34It's the company that Nora Smith's mom
19:36left behind when she died.
19:38Nora was just a child then,
19:40so the company was handled by a special manager.
19:42In all that time,
19:44she didn't take much interest in the company.
19:46There's something fishy going on here.
19:48Why is everyone chasing this company?
19:50Of course it's fishy.
19:52It's not just the company that's being hunted.
19:54Why? What are you talking about?
19:56I got a message from Mr. Hunt.
19:58Very interesting.
20:00He offered me money to find out
20:02whether you were a man or a woman.
20:04Athena, you're in trouble.
20:06Damn it.
20:08Yeah, what are you gonna do?
20:10I want you to send him a message from me.
20:12Okay.
20:20Mr. Hunt,
20:22may I come in?
20:24Lawrence, yes, hello.
20:26Uh...
20:28Mr. Hunt, you have a message
20:30from Solo.
20:32Oh. Good.
20:34There's a message
20:36from Dr. Athena.
20:38What is it?
20:40Read it to me.
20:42I'm gonna read it verbatim.
20:44Dr. Athena asks,
20:46Mr. Hunt, I...
20:48Lawrence, come on. Read it.
20:50Mr. Hunt, are you in a rush
20:52to find me because you need urgent brain surgery?
20:54Is there a picture of the doctor in there?
20:56Yes.
20:58Show it to me. Show me the picture.
21:00Uh, yes, sir. Please.
21:02No.
21:14Miss Smith? Yes?
21:16Stay away from my son.
21:18Don't let your excitement die.
