00:00Have you seen two kids? About ten years old, blonde hair, brown hair?
00:04Sure.
00:04And have you seen Nate and Jenny?
00:05Uh, no. Don't worry, we'll find them.
00:14We are getting a divorce.
00:16Alice knew her marriage was over, but she wasn't gonna let it go without a fight.
00:20Fine, I'll sign the papers, but I want something from you first.
00:24What else could I give you? I've given you everything that you've asked for.
00:30Okay, I know what you're gonna try to do right now. You're not gonna change my mind.
00:36Alice, you're pregnant. With quadruplets.
00:42Um, I'm sorry, did you just say quadruplets?
00:45Yes.
00:48Are you ready to become a mother?
00:52Emergency C-section on the third floor, needed! Emergency C-section! On the third floor!
00:58Is she prepped?
01:00Yeah.
01:00That's good. Alright, here we go.
01:02No, wait.
01:03Okay.
01:06Wait, wait.
01:13Wait, who are you? You're not my doctor.
01:15Congratulations, Alice. Both of your twins are happy and healthy.
01:19You're mistaken. I had quadruplets. That's four babies.
01:23I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, Alice. But sadly, the other two children didn't survive the birth.
01:28That's impossible. I have four different cries.
01:31You heard wrong. Now drop it.
01:35Ten years later, Alice was at the top of her game.
01:38She lived in New York with her twins, working in luxury perfumes where she studied the biology of scent.
01:44She was damn good at her job. So good that...
01:47Pack your bags, Alice. You are going to Paris.
01:50Are you serious? I've always wanted to go there.
01:53Extend your trip. Bring the family.
01:56They will be thrilled.
01:58The three of you are going to leave next week. And Alice, have fun.
02:04Okay, you two wait right here. And we need to check into the Hotel La Rose.
02:08And I need to call Fran to find out where we need to meet her.
02:18Okay, I have my phone. And then I just need to call...
02:22Nate? Jenny?
02:24Hello?
02:25Hello?
02:26Hello?
02:27Hello?
02:28Hello?
02:29Hello?
02:31Nate? Jenny? Uh, excuse me.
02:34Um, do you parlay on bliss?
02:37No, uh, have you seen two kids, uh, about ten years old, blonde hair, brown hair?
02:42Nate, Jenny, do not do that to me again. Not in a foreign country.
02:46There was something different about Nate and Jenny. Alice couldn't quite put her finger on it.
02:50Did you guys change clothes?
02:52What happened to what you were wearing?
02:55Alright, Fran is looking for you and she is worried sick.
02:58Um, sorry, but I don't think I know you.
03:04Did you hear what I said? I asked who you were.
03:07Yes. I don't believe we know you.
03:13What is going on? Stop being ridiculous.
03:16One of you needs to tell me what is going on right now.
03:19If you are playing a practical joke on your poor mother, I will send you right back home and we'll cancel this whole trip.
03:23The kids looked at each other and came to a silent understanding.
03:26They decided to play along while they figured out what was happening.
03:29Sorry, uh, mother, it was just a joke.
03:33Yes, just a joke.
03:36Okay, come on, let's go find Fran and please, no more weird jokes, okay?
03:42And just like that, these two children agreed to go with her,
03:45even if they had, in fact, never seen Alice before in their lives.
03:50Excuse me, have you seen two young children?
03:53Two young children, they've been separated from their mother.
03:56A brown-haired boy and a blonde girl.
04:01Oh, thank you.
04:03Merci, merci beaucoup.
04:06Americain.
04:08Excuse me, pardon moi, I just need to get through.
04:13Nate, Jenny, we're here, Fran.
04:17Oh, hi.
04:19How did, I just saw you over, and you changed your clothes, too.
04:23How did you manage that?
04:25What are you talking about, Fran? They've been back there the whole time.
04:28But I just saw them over there.
04:33What is going on with you two?
04:35First you play tricks on me and now you're playing jokes on Fran?
04:38This is really unlike you.
04:40Just having a little fun is all.
04:45It was James, Alice's ex-husband.
04:48A man Nate and Jenny had never known.
04:50There you two are.
04:52How dare you run away from home like that?
04:55What do you have to say for yourself?
04:59Matthew, I'm waiting for an answer.
05:01Why did you guys run-
05:02Excuse me, sir.
05:03Sorry to interrupt here, but I need to get you back to Nanotech Towers.
05:07Tonight?
05:08Yeah.
05:09Zeke, I can't be in a meeting right now. I have dinner with the kids.
05:12Okay, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
05:14Hey, what if we just take Matt and Beth to Nanotech Towers with us?
05:18Fine. Set it up.
05:22And get these kids some new clothes when we're there.
05:24These are too shabby.
05:27Yeah, yeah, you got it.
05:28So you guys finally got my attention.
05:30But after this dinner, we're going to talk all about what's happened.
05:33And you know what?
05:34You're going to tell me exactly why you ran away from home.
05:37Do you understand?
05:38I'm sure you made a mistake.
05:40We're not-
05:41Matthew, I have heard all of your excuses.
05:43No more. I'm your father. That's final.
05:47Is this man really our father?
05:50What if he is? We should go.
05:53Okay, fine. But tonight, we have to look for Mom.
05:57Jenny and Nate were curious about their dad.
05:59Plus, they'd never been in such a nice car before.
06:03Matt, I'm scared.
06:05Don't be, Beth. We're with our mother and father won't find us.
06:10Yeah, but she called me.
06:12Our mother and father won't find us.
06:15Yeah, but she called us different names.
06:17I mean, who are Nate and Jenny?
06:20So tonight, you have dinner with Sharon at the...
06:26Alice?
06:28Alice, are you listening?
06:30Yeah, sorry.
06:32I just can't get over how strange Nate and Jenny are acting.
06:36It's like they're two completely different kids.
06:40And I can't stop thinking about the day I lost the other two babies.
06:45I think you're getting carried away.
06:47I mean, look at them.
06:51They're Nate and Jenny.
06:53Alice thought she was going crazy.
06:55Could it really be true?
06:57She had two other children out in the world that she didn't know about?
