00:00How dare you interfere in my life!
00:02Someone has to.
00:04I'm sorry. I'm afraid she's been moved, sir.
00:06Moved? Where?
00:08Next week, meet me at Grand Central Station.
00:10How will I find her?
00:12You'll know.
00:14But how?
00:16It is my birthday for crying out loud!
00:19Unless the two of you are going to tell me that you're getting a divorce,
00:22I don't want to hear anything.
00:24I'm not divorcing him!
00:26Believe it or not, not everybody marries for money.
00:28Some people marry for love, like us!
00:32One day I'm going to make my loving wife Carrie proud.
00:35But today, it was her hateful grandmother, Lisa's day.
00:38If you want the money, you kneel and beg for it.
00:43And I'll give it to you.
00:46What?
00:48You heard me.
00:50Kneel. Beg.
00:59Please, Lisa.
01:02I know you think I'm worthless.
01:04Maybe I am.
01:06But none of that matters.
01:08Miss Jane is about to die.
01:10And I will do anything I can to help her.
01:12Please help me.
01:14Please.
01:16I'll give you the money.
01:19And you can pay me back
01:22by divorcing my granddaughter.
01:26How dare you interfere in my life!
01:28Someone has to.
01:36We won't let anything happen to Miss Jane.
01:39And I'll go visit her now.
01:40I'm here to see Jane Goodwin, please.
01:42Can I see some ID, please?
01:51I'm sorry. I'm afraid she's been moved, sir.
01:54Moved? Where?
01:56She's been moved to another hospital.
01:58I'll write the address down for you.
01:59But I was just told a few hours ago
02:00that she was to have surgery,
02:02not that she was being moved.
02:04Actually, it says that her condition got worse
02:07and her surgery will now cost
02:09almost three million dollars.
02:11Three million?
02:14Yes.
02:17But it says here that the bill
02:20has already been paid in full.
02:22What?
02:24I don't have three million dollars.
02:25There's no way.
02:27The benefactor who paid her medical expenses
02:29is the one who had her moved to the new facility.
02:32But who paid for it?
02:34That's confidential. I'm sorry.
02:36I suggest going to this new hospital
02:40and asking them.
02:43Okay.
02:45Thanks.
02:48Stephen.
02:50Don't be afraid, sir.
02:51My name is Sean Drake.
02:53We met before, a long time ago.
03:00I know you.
03:03My parents are dead because of you.
03:05Sir, please.
03:07You insisted they drive across the country.
03:09They were so concerned with making good time,
03:11they fell asleep at the wheel.
03:13They never even saw that truck that hit them.
03:16I was thrown into an orphanage after that,
03:18and that's all your fault.
03:19Why are you here?
03:20Are you stalking me?
03:21You've got some nerve.
03:22It's about your family, sir.
03:23Your real family.
03:24My real family is dead because of you.
03:27Didn't you hear what I said?
03:29Your grandfather, sir. He sent me.
03:31Excuse me?
03:33My grandfather?
03:35He didn't know what orphanage you were sent to.
03:37He couldn't find you despite how hard he tried.
03:39It seems the files were lost.
03:41Why now?
03:42Why did no one come find me after all these years?
03:45He tried, Stephen, for years.
03:47He tried every avenue.
03:48He had a team of experts looking everywhere,
03:50using AI to age your likeness by 20 years to track you down.
03:54Who is my grandfather, then?
03:56Mr. Winston Gemsworth.
03:57He'll be overjoyed to hear the news.
03:59Winston Gemsworth is my grandfather?
04:02One of the richest men in the world is my grandfather?
04:05He's the one that paid for Miss Jane's treatment
04:07and had her moved to another hospital.
04:09Look, he wants to see you now.
04:10Let's go. He'll explain everything more.
04:19Stephen.
04:21Mr. Gemsworth?
04:23Oh.
04:25Please don't call me that.
04:27You're my grandson.
04:29Oh.
04:31How long I've looked for you.
04:33All my prayers have finally been answered.
04:36You look just like your father.
04:39I do?
04:41You do.
04:43Do you remember him?
04:45No.
04:47No.
04:48And yes?
04:50Nothing makes sense.
04:52I can't remember his face.
04:55Or Mom's.
04:57It's all right, my child.
04:59It was many years ago. You were quite young.
05:02I'm sorry we left you alone for so long.
05:05Come. We have much to catch up on.
05:08Winston shared stories about my parents
05:10while I told him about my life.
05:12I couldn't believe I finally had family of my own.
05:17Have you heard of the Sterling Group?
05:20Of course.
05:21It's impossible not to if you live in New York.
05:23Well, as of this afternoon, I own it.
05:26You do?
05:27Indeed. And if you accept,
05:30I'd like you to be president.
05:32You want me to be what?
05:34You heard me. Do you accept?
05:37Of course I do.
05:38Great.
05:40Sign here.
05:44Stephen, where are you?
05:46It's a long story, Carrie.
05:48But the good news is, everything's going to be okay.
05:50What do you mean, everything's going to be okay?
05:52Not a lot makes sense right now, but you have to trust me on this.
05:55Everything is taken care of. We're going to be okay.
05:58You, me, Miss Jane.
06:01It's all going to work out.
06:03I'm right.
06:05It's just so hard to believe.
06:07I'm handling everything.
06:08Just give me a few days to get the details worked out,
06:10and I promise I will explain everything.
06:13We will finally be able to live outside your family's shadow.
06:17Okay. I trust you.
06:36Wait. What's this?
06:43Lisa Hopkins was suspected of hiring a hitman to take out her own husband?
06:53I could not believe what I was reading.
06:55We were led to believe that Grandpa Hopkins died of natural causes.
06:58But these files held proof that that was not the case.
07:01Here it was in black and white.
07:03Lisa likely killed her husband to inherit his fortune.
07:08I have to tell Carrie about this.
07:11Then I realized I couldn't.
07:14Not until I knew more.
07:16I needed to get the facts straight.
07:18Information like this could ruin a family.
07:21And a marriage.
07:30This is Steven.
07:32Hello, Steven.
07:34Who is this?
07:35I have some information regarding Mr. Hopkins' death.
07:38No.
07:40Who is this?
07:41Happy to tell you.
07:43If you're willing to pay for it.
07:45Yes.
07:46Of course. Any price.
07:48Next week.
07:49Meet me at Grand Central Station.
07:52How will I find you?
07:53You'll know.
07:54But how?
07:56Pleasure doing business with you.
07:58Especially when it hurts Lisa Hopkins.
08:00Who is this?
08:03Who was the mysterious man on the phone?
08:06What evidence did he have against Lisa Hopkins?
08:09Why did he hate her as much as I did?
