00:00Believe it or not, not everybody marries for money.
00:02Some people marry for love, like us.
00:04I know you.
00:07My parents are dead because of you.
00:09Sir, please.
00:11You insisted they drive across the country.
00:13They were so concerned with making good time,
00:15they fell asleep at the wheel.
00:17They never even saw the truck that hit them.
00:19It is my birthday for crying out loud.
00:23Unless the two of you are going to tell me
00:25that you're getting a divorce,
00:26I don't want to hear anything.
00:27I'm not divorcing him!
00:30Believe it or not, not everybody marries for money.
00:32Some people marry for love, like us.
00:36One day I'm going to make my loving wife, Carrie, proud.
00:39But today, it was her hateful grandmother, Lisa's day.
00:42If you want the money, you kneel and beg for it.
00:47And I'll give it to you.
00:50What?
00:51You heard me.
00:53Kneel.
00:55Beg.
01:01Please, Lisa.
01:04I know you think I'm worthless.
01:06Maybe I am.
01:08But none of that matters.
01:10Miss Jane is about to die.
01:12And I will do anything I can to help her.
01:14Please help me.
01:15Please.
01:18I'll give you the money.
01:20And you can pay me back
01:23by divorcing my granddaughter.
01:26How dare you interfere in my life?
01:28Someone has to.
01:37We won't let anything happen to Miss Jane.
01:40And I'll go visit her now.
01:41I'm here to see Jane Goodwin, please.
01:43Can I see some ID, please?
01:52I'm sorry.
01:53I'm sorry.
01:54I'm sorry.
01:55I'm sorry.
01:56I'm afraid she's been moved, sir.
01:57Moved?
01:58Where?
01:59She's been moved to another hospital.
02:01I'll write the address down for you.
02:02But I was just told a few hours ago that
02:04she was to have surgery, not that she was being moved.
02:07Actually, it says that her condition got worse.
02:10And her surgery will now cost
02:12almost three million dollars.
02:14Three million?
02:17Yes.
02:20But it says here that
02:24the bill has already been paid in full.
02:26What?
02:28I don't have three million dollars.
02:29There's no way.
02:31The benefactor who paid her medical expenses
02:33is the one who had her moved to the new facility.
02:35But who paid for it?
02:37That's confidential.
02:39I'm sorry.
02:40I suggest going to this new hospital
02:44and asking them.
02:46Okay.
02:48Thanks.
02:51Steven.
02:53Don't be afraid, sir.
02:55My name is Sean Drake.
02:57We've met before.
02:59A long time ago.
03:04I know you.
03:06My parents are dead because of you.
03:08Sir, please.
03:10You insisted they drive across the country.
03:12They were so concerned with making good time
03:14they fell asleep at the wheel.
03:16They never even saw that truck that hit them.
03:18I was thrown into an orphanage after that.
03:20And that's all your fault.
03:22Why are you here?
03:24Are you stalking me?
03:26You've got some nerve.
03:28It's about your family, sir.
03:30Your real family.
03:32My real family is dead because of you.
03:34Didn't you hear what I said?
03:36Your grandfather, sir.
03:38He sent me.
03:40Excuse me?
03:42My grandfather?
03:44He didn't know what orphanage you were sent to.
03:47Why did no one come find me after all these years?
03:49He tried, Steven, for years.
03:51He tried every avenue.
03:53He had a team of experts looking everywhere.
03:55Using AI to age your likeness by 20 years
03:57to track you down.
03:59Who is my grandfather, then?
04:01Mr. Winston Gemsworth. He'll be overjoyed to hear the news.
04:03Winston Gemsworth is my grandfather?
04:07One of the richest men in the world is my grandfather?
04:09He's the one that paid for Miss Jane's treatment
04:11and had her moved to another hospital.
04:13Look, he wants to see you now.
04:15He'll explain everything more.
04:25Steven.
04:27Mr. Gemsworth.
04:29Oh.
04:31Please don't call me that.
04:33You're my grandson.
04:35Oh.
04:37How long I've looked for you.
04:39All my prayers have finally been answered.
04:41You look just like your father.
04:45I do?
04:47You do.
04:49Do you remember him?
04:51No.
04:53And yes.
04:55Nothing makes sense.
04:57I can't remember his face.
04:59Or mom's.
05:01It's alright, my child.
05:03It was many years ago.
05:05You were quite young.
05:07I'm sorry we left you alone for so long.
05:09Come.
05:11We have much to catch up on.
05:14I told him about my parents
05:16while I told him about my life.
05:18I couldn't believe I finally had family of my own.
05:22Have you heard of the Sterling Group?
05:24Of course.
05:26It's impossible not to if you live in New York.
05:28Class of this afternoon?
05:30I own it.
05:32You do?
05:34Indeed.
05:36And if you accept, I'd like you to be president.
05:38You want me to be what?
05:40You heard me.
05:43Sign here.
05:47You start tomorrow.
05:49Steven, where are you?
05:51It's a long story, Carrie.
05:53But the good news is, everything's gonna be okay.
05:55What do you mean everything's gonna be okay?
05:57Not a lot makes sense right now,
05:59but you have to trust me on this.
06:01Everything's taken care of. We're gonna be okay.
06:03You, me,
06:05Miss Jane.
06:07It's all gonna work out.
06:09I'm worried.
06:11I'm handling everything.
06:13Just give me a few days to get the details worked out
06:15and I promise I will explain everything.
06:17We will finally be able to live outside your family's shadow.
06:19Okay.
06:21I trust you.
06:23Wait.
06:39Wait.
06:41What's this?
06:47Lisa Hopkins
06:49was
06:51suspected of hiring a
06:53hitman
06:55to take out her own husband?
06:57I could not believe what I was reading.
06:59We were led to believe that Grandpa Hopkins died of natural causes.
07:01But these files held proof
07:03that that was not the case.
07:05Here it was in black and white.
07:07Lisa likely killed her husband
07:09to inherit his fortune.
07:11I have to tell Carrie about this.
07:13Then I realized
07:15I couldn't.
07:17Not until I knew more.
07:19I needed to get the facts straight.
07:21Information like this could ruin a family.
07:23And a marriage.
07:33This is Stephen.
07:35Hello, Stephen.
07:37Who is this?
07:39I have some information regarding Mr. Hopkins' death.
07:41What do you know?
07:43Who is this?
07:45Happy to tell you.
07:47If you're willing to pay for it.
07:49Yes. Of course.
07:51Any price.
07:53Next week. Meet me at Grand Central Station.
07:55How will I find you?
07:57You'll know.
07:59But how?
08:01Pleasure doing business with you.
08:03Especially when it hurts Lisa Hopkins.
08:05Who is this?
08:11Who was the mysterious man on the phone?
08:13What evidence did he have against Lisa Hopkins?
08:15Why did he hate her as much as I did?
