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