00:00:00the way
00:00:10I must tell him, but how I can't wait to tell her
00:00:16Bella, you take my breath away, marry me, and let's fall deep into love together
00:00:46This is hilarious. You think this is what I really want?
00:00:54You waste your time on pointless things, Eric.
00:00:57Bella, your happiness is the most important thing to me. If you didn't like the proposal, I-
00:01:03You're hopeless. I want a breakup.
00:01:06I just beat the school record in swimming. Everything's looking up. I can work harder.
00:01:11School record? You think that's something to brag about?
00:01:14You don't have goals or drive. You just come from an average family. You're just getting by.
00:01:21You are meant to be average, Eric.
00:01:30Can't believe a billionaire heiress would choose to be with someone like you.
00:01:35See, Ivy League universities like Princeton is where people like us belong.
00:01:41I'm sorry, who are you?
00:01:42Bella's dream is to be a host at BNN, and as the son of the BNN owner,
00:01:50I can make her dream come true.
00:01:52Yeah, um, David is the one that I deserve to be with.
00:01:56I'm sorry, Eric. I have no choice.
00:02:08Can't believe I pretended to be a straightened jerk to help you get rid of your baby's dad.
00:02:13I have a lot going on at home, so I can't go to your brother's game this afternoon.
00:02:16Can you just go and cheer him on for me, please?
00:02:19You should have fucked off a long time ago.
00:02:21What are you talking about, Stimpy?
00:02:23I found my biological parents.
00:02:25Oh my god, that's great! Eric and his parents are really going to miss you.
00:02:29Tell me about it. In a heartbeat, our roles completely reversed.
00:02:33I had to go to the bathroom.
00:02:35You had to go to the bathroom?
00:02:37I had to go to the bathroom.
00:02:39In a heartbeat, our roles completely reversed.
00:02:42I become a billionaire's daughter, while you become a beggar after your family's bankruptcy.
00:02:48Didn't your parents die in an airplane crash?
00:02:52You're nobody now.
00:02:55Now I can provide Eric with the money and resources you can't, turning him into a true success.
00:03:01And you?
00:03:02You'll just be a burden to him.
00:03:04But we love each other.
00:03:05Shut up, you loser.
00:03:07Eric gave up his Oxford opera for you.
00:03:10No, he said he got it because he's a lovesick fool.
00:03:13He sacrificed his future for you. Do you want your love to ruin him?
00:03:19What do you want?
00:03:21Leave him. He's mine.
00:03:25You really have feelings for your stepbrother.
00:03:28I've loved him since the day I was adopted, when I was four.
00:03:37Olympic swimmer Eugene Holmes has just arrived after winning three gold medals this year.
00:03:41Please.
00:03:43Give him some space.
00:03:44Rich, handsome, and charming. He must be mine.
00:03:49I'm Mia Levy from Short TV.
00:03:51Eugene, what do you think is harder, becoming an Olympic champion or a billionaire?
00:03:55Maybe a billionaire.
00:03:57And why is that?
00:03:59Because swimming in money is harder than swimming in water.
00:04:02We gotta go.
00:04:03Let's go.
00:04:03Gotta go, boss.
00:04:07Bye.
00:04:14Bella, it's been so long.
00:04:18What have you been up to all these years?
00:04:23Eugene, what do you think is harder, becoming an Olympic champion or a billionaire?
00:04:27Maybe a billionaire.
00:04:28Because swimming in money is harder than swimming in water.
00:04:32Bella, just stop caring about him. He's not going to pay your bills.
00:04:35Mom!
00:04:37Yes, sweetie?
00:04:38Luke, I could hold my breath for a minute.
00:04:47You need to come over right now.
00:04:49You're doing the exclusive live for Short News tonight.
00:04:52Sorry, boss. Did you forget, though?
00:04:54You fired me after I won Best New Host to make room for your daughter, Mia.
00:04:58Maybe she can do it.
00:05:00The thing is, Eugene Holmes specifically asked for you to interview him, okay?
00:05:06The interviewee is Eugene Holmes?
00:05:10Mommy, did you see that?
00:05:11That's amazing, sweetie.
00:05:13Well, he not only requested you for the interview, but he also wants you to go to his house.
00:05:19Okay, that's a lot.
00:05:23I'll do it.
00:05:24But you're going to have to pay me double, and you can't fire me.
00:05:28Deal. Just move quickly.
00:05:32Alright.
00:05:36I can't let him know about Troy.
00:05:48Well, you really achieved more than I imagined.
00:05:53We are two people from very different worlds.
00:06:06So,
00:06:31hello?
00:06:32Bella, even if you turned to ash, I'd still recognize you.
00:06:37Sorry to keep you waiting. I just used oil number two.
00:06:44What's going on?
00:06:46You're gonna have to be quick. The TV crew is on its way.
00:06:52Wait, he thinks I'm the masseuse? Okay, fine. At least he doesn't recognize me.
00:06:59You're so tense.
00:07:20Bella? What are you doing? Bella?
00:07:29What are you doing?
00:07:31Mr. Eugene Holmes! What an honor. I'm Humbert Levy, director of Short TV.
00:07:37Hello, hello. Hi, this is my daughter Mia.
00:07:42Apologize to Mr. Holmes right now. You just did that to him?
00:07:46Now what are you wearing?
00:07:48Miss Emerson, nice to finally meet you. I'm sorry I mistook you for the masseuse.
00:07:52Mistook, huh? I don't buy it.
00:07:55Eric, why do you suddenly want me to interview you?
00:08:03Here's the script I prepared for you.
00:08:06Lucky you, bitch.
00:08:14Life in three, two, one.
00:08:22Hello everyone and welcome to Short News Special Report. I am Bella Emerson.
00:08:27Today we have the honor of having Olympic swimming champion Eugene Holmes with us.
00:08:32Eugene, congratulations on winning three gold medals at the Olympics.
00:08:36And I also hear that you have gotten onto the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
00:08:40How do you feel about that?
00:08:42Do I still have no goals? Drive? Destined to be averaged forever?
00:08:50Excuse, excuse me?
00:08:53Do I still have no goals? Drive? Destined to be averaged forever?
00:09:01Excuse, excuse me?
00:09:07That's what I like to say to those who underestimate me.
00:09:10Oh, you seem just as witty as the rumors say, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:18You have achieved more than what most people can achieve before age 30.
00:09:22What is the next goal?
00:09:23My next goal is you, Miss Emerson.
00:09:30Oh my god, what does it mean?
00:09:33Is he going after her?
00:09:37Don't get me wrong, it means someone like you.
00:09:41Someone who strives to excel in their field.
00:09:45Um, most swimmers become famous young, but you are special.
00:09:51Yes, I started swimming late, so I had to work harder than most to achieve what I have today.
00:09:56Well, you are very talented.
00:10:00Talent isn't enough.
00:10:02You really need the unconditional support of the people around you.
00:10:08Like the ones you love.
00:10:10Well, on behalf of everyone here, may I ask, have you found Miss Wright?
00:10:16Yes.
00:10:19I owe everything I have to her.
00:10:21Bella, I'm back. I'll show you how leaving me has shaped me.
00:10:26That sounds like a romantic story.
00:10:29Bittersweet.
00:10:35Eric, are you confessing your feelings for me?
00:10:44That is all that we have today with Eugene Holmes.
00:10:47Thank you so much, and until next time.
00:10:50I don't want to talk.
00:10:51Okay.
00:11:01Whatever.
00:11:04Mr. Holmes.
00:11:14Sorry, excuse me.
00:11:19Crying over a little conversation?
00:11:21I'm the one that should be feeling wronged.
00:11:24Just throwing your words back at you.
00:11:26I think you misunderstood me, Mr. Holmes.
00:11:28I'm crying out of happiness.
00:11:30This is congratulations to both of us.
00:11:32Is that so?
00:11:34What exactly is worth celebrating?
00:11:38I'm an Olympic champion, while you're the host of some small TV station.
00:11:42Is that worth celebrating?
00:11:43Or is it the fact that I'm a billionaire while you still struggle with bullying?
00:11:48Does that make you happy?
00:11:50What exactly is there to be happy about when your life turned out this way?
00:12:01You know what the good thing is?
00:12:02The interview I did just now.
00:12:04It's going to make my show a hit.
00:12:08Don't you miss our past little?
00:12:10Your new name gave you a fresh start, but you're no longer Eric.
00:12:16Goodbye, Mr. Holmes.
00:12:23Mr. Holmes?
00:12:31Oh, Mr. Holmes, I've long admired you.
00:12:36It smells so good, my pussycat.
00:12:38Ew!
00:12:44Hey, boss, did I do good?
00:12:46Well done, Adam.
00:12:48She bullied my girl.
00:12:50This was a lesson.
00:12:53All he ever did was get revenge on me.
00:12:59Easy, honey.
00:13:00I mean, maybe he means well.
00:13:04Whose side are you on?
00:13:06Yours, of course.
00:13:08But these eight years have not been easy on you.
00:13:11I mean, now that Troy's dad's back, what if-
00:13:13My dad?
00:13:16No, honey, you misunderstand.
00:13:19It's me.
00:13:21I'm your dad.
00:13:24Oh, okay.
00:13:26Welcome back, Daddy David.
00:13:33Anyways, there are no what-ifs, okay?
00:13:35I got through my hardest years without him.
00:13:37I just hope I never have to see him again.
00:13:44There's a party to celebrate my return.
00:13:47I need you to come.
00:13:48It's the weekend, Mr. Holmes.
00:13:50Humbert invited me to do a profile interview.
00:13:53I heard Mia might host.
00:13:55You come, and I might consider recommending you.
00:14:01Uh, I think I can make it.
00:14:05Good.
00:14:05Oh, it's a pool party.
00:14:07I've delivered some clothes to you.
00:14:18Stump bag.
00:14:20Ugh.
00:14:23Ugh.
00:14:45Bella?
00:14:47Here you are.
00:14:48I saw your show with Eric.
00:14:50It was amazing.
00:14:51Aw, thanks.
00:14:52Looks like you've got what you wanted, Stephanie.
00:14:55Isn't this the swimsuit we bought together eight years ago?
00:14:58An eight-year-old swimsuit?
00:15:00It might fall apart any second.
00:15:04How about I give you a swimsuit?
00:15:06Eric gave me loads of them.
00:15:08That's so sweet, but I think your suit is a little too small in the bust
00:15:12and a little too big in the waist for me.
00:15:13But thank you.
00:15:16Bella.
00:15:18Now everyone's here, let's play a game.
00:15:22All right, ladies, put on your blindfolds.
00:15:26The first gentleman you touch will become your partner.
00:15:30Gentlemen, puff out.
00:15:43Eric, we're already so distant, yet you still made me come over like a clown?
00:15:48Fine, I'll grant your wish.
00:15:53Count me in.
00:15:55Interesting.
00:16:09Bella, you're provoking me, huh?
00:16:11Ready? Go!
00:16:18I'd love to see Eric's face when you fall into another guy.
00:16:22Oh, sorry.
00:16:36You good?
00:16:39Yeah, I'm okay.
00:16:44Eric, when did you join the game?
00:16:48What the heck? Poor Stephanie.
00:16:56Is your back okay?
00:16:57Yeah, no, it's nothing. I'm fine.
00:17:02Now that we're all paired up, let's get this game started.
00:17:18Okay, everybody did really great, but I'm not good at this. I'm out.
00:17:24Oh, come on.
00:17:27Honey, there's no backing out.
00:17:29And Eric, are you really gonna surrender in a swimming pool?
00:17:32Yeah, what a joke.
00:17:35All right, whichever team swims best wins.
00:17:38Relay swimming, tandem, side-by-side swimming, they're already taken.
00:17:41So you can't choose what the other team has picked.
00:17:44We're doing a breaststroke.
00:17:45Wait, you don't even ask me.
00:17:47Well, I like make decisions myself too.
00:17:49Why aren't you wearing the clothes I had delivered to you?
00:17:51I'm not your puppet, Eric.
00:17:52Yeah, well, I'm not your puppet either. So just do as I say.
00:17:56It's the only way to win.
00:17:59It's the only way to win.
00:18:00Hey, you're so childish.
00:18:17Are they swimming facing each other? I've never seen such a romantic swim.
00:18:22We didn't even plan it or discuss it.
00:18:36What are you thinking about?
00:18:51We're engaged.
00:18:53Your wish as well, right?
00:18:56And why would I?
00:18:58Eric's amazing achievements are all because of me.
00:19:01I put in so many late nights helping him out.
00:19:03We're just meant to be together.
00:19:06What gives you such a big ego?
00:19:09God, you make me want to gag.
00:19:18So you're just leaving?
00:19:19I've done everything you've asked.
00:19:21And I hope that you can still keep your word.
00:19:22Wait, are you really asking me for help?
00:19:26Yes. Okay, I need your help, please.
00:19:28Why would I?
00:19:30Fine, if you want to play it like that, I have nothing to say to you.
00:19:33Hey, just...
00:19:35Let me go.
00:19:37Is this how you ask for favors?
00:19:39Remember how you sucked up to David?
00:19:41Now just do the same for me.
00:19:48God, you're not just childish.
00:19:49You're insane.
00:19:52Hello.
00:19:54It was a spur of the moment.
00:19:55I just want to know what you've been up to.
00:19:57Mom.
00:19:57Hey, Troy.
00:20:00I miss you so much.
00:20:01I miss you, baby.
00:20:02You have a kid.
00:20:03With him.
00:20:05With you, Eric.
00:20:06Why are you bullying my mom?
00:20:08Your mom slapped me, kid.
00:20:11You make her work on weekends.
00:20:12You deserve that.
00:20:15Mom, let's go.
00:20:16Daddy's waiting.
00:20:25Eric Holmes, you're such a fool for trying to win her back.
00:20:33You think a couple blank pages can mess me up?
00:20:37Yeah, I have no clue what you're talking about.
00:20:40You should leave.
00:20:41I have to prepare for short snooze.
00:20:46My dad only promised Dot to fire you.
00:20:49He said nothing about letting you continue to work.
00:20:52You might be the host of short news, but to keep your spot, you need talent
00:20:57and serious hard work, not just a powerful dad.
00:21:00Who says having a powerful dad doesn't help?
00:21:03If it weren't for Mr. Holmes, you'd be out of here right now.
00:21:07Keep your mouth shut.
00:21:09He picked me because I got the award for new host, okay?
00:21:12I deserved it.
00:21:13Bella Emerson.
00:21:14Oh.
00:21:18This is where everyone's hiding.
00:21:24Mr. Holmes, what brings you here?
00:21:27Mr. Levy, that show.
00:21:28Oh, yes.
00:21:29That show you suggested.
00:21:31It's, um...
00:21:32Eric suggested it, but he said...
00:21:34It's a brilliant idea.
00:21:38You can discuss the details with Mia.
00:21:40Mia just earned her MSc in Media and Communications from Manchester Open University.
00:21:46She is a-
00:21:46You spent all that money to go abroad for a diploma mill?
00:21:50It's better than going to a community college where you work half-time.
00:21:54Bella, you didn't end up at Princeton?
00:21:56What actually happened?
00:21:57Well, in that case, why not have Bella and Mia compete to see who's best suited to host the show?
00:22:04Just choose a script and have them read it.
00:22:09Eric, what are you trying to do?
00:22:27Ah.
00:22:35Here's the script for the test.
00:22:50Oh, Bella.
00:22:53You're screwed.
00:23:07The competition began.
00:23:13A rhomzoologist says the Italian capital has become a proper jungle.
00:23:16A rhomzoologist has just said the Italian capital has become a proper jungle.
00:23:20A rhomzoologist has just said the Italian capital has become a proper jungle.
00:23:25We just went to the outskirts of Rome with the snakes where-
00:23:29What the fuck?
00:23:32You stupid idiots!
00:23:34My father paid to hire you and you didn't even help?
00:23:37Call 911!
00:23:39Then it looks like we just found two of them right now.
00:23:46Bravo!
00:23:47Wow.
00:23:48What do you think, Umberto?
00:23:49Bella is the host for your show, sir.
00:23:52I think so, too.
00:23:58Looking forward to working with you, Miss Emerson.
00:24:09You won't always be this lucky.
00:24:12You owe me a thank you.
00:24:14What?
00:24:16Helping keep your job.
00:24:18I kept my job in my own merit.
00:24:20Plus, Humbert said that he wouldn't fire me.
00:24:21You're really gonna believe that guy?
00:24:23That's none of your business.
00:24:25I spoke to Humbert.
00:24:26We're calling the show Keeping Up with Eric Holmes.
00:24:29So, you're recycling your old name.
00:24:31So you don't know what you really want, do you?
00:24:34I don't know what I really want.
00:24:35I don't know what I really want.
00:24:37I don't know what I really want.
00:24:38I don't know what I really want.
00:24:40I don't know what I really want.
00:24:42Umberto, what are you doing?
00:24:44I thought my only goal was to show you that I succeeded.
00:24:49But forget all that.
00:24:54All I really want is you.
00:24:55Control yourself, Mr. Holmes.
00:24:58I'm a married woman with a kid.
00:25:04Married woman without a ring?
00:25:07She's not gonna marry you, huh?
00:25:11What are you, his mistress?
00:25:13I shouldn't be soft-hearted.
00:25:15He's hopeless.
00:25:25Hey, man.
00:25:26You called me here in an emergency,
00:25:27but you're just swimming, not saying anything.
00:25:31I messed it up.
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:36What'd you end up doing?
00:25:38No, Mom, these are all for you.
00:25:40Brian continued to explain.
00:25:42Love is when you rushed over when I fell.
00:25:56He looks just like his dad.
00:25:57Shh.
00:26:04I have a feeling he still loves you.
00:26:07You know?
00:26:08No, all he wants to do is torture me.
00:26:11Hate means he cares.
00:26:16Maybe it's time we tell him the truth?
00:26:19No, it's too late.
00:26:20He's engaged.
00:26:21But, honey, Troy needs a dad.
00:26:34What the hell, man?
00:26:35Yeah, if I was Bella, I would have totally beaten you up.
00:26:39I don't know.
00:26:41Every time I see her, I just want to talk to her,
00:26:43but I keep getting on her nerves.
00:26:45Hey, chill out, okay?
00:26:47I can tell she still has feelings for you.
00:26:49But she's kept so much from me.
00:26:51She didn't even go to Princeton.
00:26:52She just went to a community college.
00:26:54Yeah.
00:26:56I heard her family went bankrupt eight years ago, so...
00:26:58What?
00:26:59If I knew she was struggling, I would have helped.
00:27:04Are you serious about winning her back?
00:27:05Yes.
00:27:06Then stop attacking and open up to her.
00:27:12The Keeping Up With Eric Holmes crew is coming tomorrow.
00:27:16I'll talk to her then.
00:27:19A woman's heart is the most precious thing a man can have.
00:27:24I'm sorry.
00:27:25Oh, awesome taste.
00:27:28Oh, wow.
00:27:30This painting is so, so beautiful.
00:27:34Isn't that the water lilies painting that was on my porch?
00:27:37How did he get it?
00:27:39He doesn't know what happened to my family, does he?
00:27:44Mr. Holmes, I brought you a flat white.
00:27:47Give it a go.
00:27:48I'm not sure if I can do it.
00:27:49I'm not sure if I can do it.
00:27:50I'm not sure if I can do it.
00:27:51I'm not sure if I can do it.
00:27:52I'm not sure if I can do it.
00:27:53I'm not sure if I can do it.
00:27:54I'm not sure if I can do it.
00:27:55It'll give you a really cool, exotic vibe.
00:27:58Exotic?
00:27:59Oh, wait, hold on.
00:28:00This has almond milk in it.
00:28:02She remembers I'm allergic to almond milk.
00:28:04I knew she's still scared.
00:28:06What's wrong with almond milk?
00:28:08I'm allergic to almond milk.
00:28:10Ms. Levy, looks like you didn't do your homework.
00:28:13I'm so sorry, Mr. Holmes.
00:28:15Mr. Holmes, please don't be mad at her.
00:28:17Thank you, Ms. Emerson.
00:28:22We have to get ready for the recording now.
00:28:24No rush.
00:28:26Could we look around, Mr. Holmes?
00:28:29Make yourself at home.
00:28:35They're full of our memories.
00:28:37How much do you remember?
00:28:42Why does he keep all this?
00:28:45It's just going to drive Stephanie nuts.
00:28:50Oh, the finish.
00:28:51The texture.
00:28:53This has to be an Elizabethan pepper shaker.
00:28:57How impressive.
00:28:58Oh, you're serious?
00:28:59No, I got that from a high school field trip.
00:29:01I bought it from an old lady for like ten dollars.
00:29:04Well, this ceramic mug with its unique shapes and colors,
00:29:08it must be a medieval masterpiece.
00:29:14You know what?
00:29:14I actually think it looks more like a botched DIY mug
00:29:17that a teenager made.
00:29:23Billa!
00:29:23How could you break Ms. Holmes' precious things?
00:29:27How could you break Ms. Holmes' precious things?
00:29:29Okay, I didn't do that.
00:29:30It's not a big deal.
00:29:32This way she won't feel guilty.
00:29:34Right.
00:29:35I was foolish to think he still cared.
00:29:39What's this?
00:29:41Elementary school math?
00:29:45Well, actually, this room hides a treasure.
00:29:49And that equation is the clue.
00:29:50And that equation is the clue to its location.
00:29:57Isn't the answer already there?
00:30:00I'll give the treasure to whoever finds it first.
00:30:04Dad, help me.
00:30:21What do you think you're doing?
00:30:22You can't afford to break another thing.
00:30:32Incredible.
00:30:32Oh.
00:30:36You know, if you take the number of vertices in a polyhedron
00:30:41and then subtract the number of edges
00:30:44and then add the number of faces,
00:30:45you always get 10.
00:30:46Subtract the number of edges and then add the number of faces,
00:30:50you always get two.
00:30:51Okay, can you please stop cramming my head with weird stuff?
00:30:55I'm good.
00:30:56It's called Euler characteristic.
00:30:59It's the second most beautiful function.
00:31:02You, Bella, would be the most beautiful.
00:31:07And where did you get that cheesy line from?
00:31:12I'm gonna let it slide.
00:31:14Just this once.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:34You know, I wanted to give this to the girl I love,
00:31:37but she broke my heart.
00:31:40If so, then why still keep it?
00:31:43This stupid woman would cry her eyes out
00:31:45if she knew everything you've accomplished.
00:31:47Why not give it to me?
00:31:48I'd appreciate it so much more.
00:31:56If she ever changed her mind,
00:31:59I'd take her back.
00:32:02Do you think she'd change her mind
00:32:05if she knew I still loved her?
00:32:07Ms. Emerson?
00:32:09I don't know.
00:32:09I don't know.
00:32:10Ms. Emerson?
00:32:11I—
00:32:12You cooked it before we got in!
00:32:14Excuse me.
00:32:27I won't let you leave me again, Bella.
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:33That's it.
00:32:35Now I'm permanently scarred for trying to save the girl
00:32:39who nearly hit the rebar in the pool.
00:32:42Well, it turns out that every scar Mr. Holmes has
00:32:45is tied to love.
00:32:47Thank you for watching this inaugural episode
00:32:49of Keeping Up with Eric Holmes.
00:32:53Great ad-lib, Bella.
00:32:55That's a wrap!
00:33:09Can you leave?
00:33:10I'm changing.
00:33:12You still haven't answered my question.
00:33:21Do you think she'd change her mind
00:33:22if she knew I still loved her?
00:33:26Oh, damn.
00:33:28He's engaged.
00:33:29What's wrong with him?
00:33:30Mr. Holmes,
00:33:32are you sure that it's real love?
00:33:34What do you mean?
00:33:37What do you mean?
00:33:39The past.
00:33:40It's like that broken mug, okay?
00:33:42I don't think that it can be put back together.
00:33:46For the last eight years,
00:33:50you're the one that's kept me from hitting rock bottom.
00:33:53Eight.
00:33:54Years.
00:33:56I've thought about you every single day,
00:33:59wondering what you're doing,
00:34:02why you ended things the way you did,
00:34:06if you achieved your dream.
00:34:08Eric,
00:34:09I sincerely apologize.
00:34:11If you want revenge,
00:34:12do as you wish,
00:34:13but please,
00:34:14please do not mess with my career, okay?
00:34:16I have worked tirelessly to get to where I am today.
00:34:19Please.
00:34:27Bella,
00:34:29I mean it.
00:34:32Bella, calm down.
00:34:34He's engaged.
00:34:35His future is bright.
00:34:37How dare you ruin his life?
00:34:40I'm sorry.
00:34:41I've moved on.
00:34:53Have you moved on?
00:34:57I love you.
00:34:59I want to talk to you.
00:35:00I want to kiss you.
00:35:04I want to touch every inch of your skin.
00:35:07I want you.
00:35:11I want you.
00:35:27Oh no, I'm sorry.
00:35:29We can't do this.
00:35:31I'm sorry.
00:35:31I'm out of my mind right now.
00:35:33What are you hiding?
00:35:38Bella, where are you?
00:35:39Troy's sick.
00:35:40Get home.
00:35:45Bella, wait!
00:35:56Can you just forget about what happened with us
00:35:58and please stop following me?
00:35:59Bella, we need to talk.
00:36:05Happy birthday.
00:36:06What the hell?
00:36:07Okay, where is Troy?
00:36:08Look, don't worry.
00:36:09He's fine.
00:36:11I had to lie to get you home
00:36:12because you are a workaholic.
00:36:14Oh my god, screw you.
00:36:16Dave, okay, you guys are freaking me out.
00:36:18It looks like she's been happy all along.
00:36:21Did I miss something?
00:36:22Yeah, can you help make it right of him, please?
00:36:27Eric, right?
00:36:29I'm Bella's husband.
00:36:32Nice to meet you.
00:36:32I'm her ex-boyfriend.
00:36:34Come on, just ditch him.
00:36:41Say, we were about to celebrate Bella's birthday.
00:36:46Why don't you join us?
00:36:51You flashy brat.
00:36:53Let's see what you're really made of.
00:36:54It'd be my pleasure.
00:37:00Oh man, Troy's dad's got strong hands.
00:37:02Okay, if Eric finds out that Troy's his kid, we are done.
00:37:06Okay, stop it.
00:37:07Easy, girl.
00:37:08Don't you always say you want to find out his true feelings?
00:37:12Let me test him for you.
00:37:20Mom, guess what?
00:37:22Eric's a champion swimmer.
00:37:24He's got a breaststroke.
00:37:26How did you get such a good friend?
00:37:28Yeah, right.
00:37:29Troy says the breaststroke is his favorite.
00:37:31You really surprised me there, buddy.
00:37:33Eric, can you tell me more about your gold medals?
00:37:37Yeah, yeah, I'd be happy to.
00:37:40So actually...
00:37:49Eric, my mom says people who cut their spaghetti are weird.
00:37:54Are you weird too?
00:37:56Well, if your mom says so, then I guess we're both weirdos.
00:38:02So, David, right?
00:38:05How long have you known Bella?
00:38:07Oh, you're asking the wrong guy, man.
00:38:11Well, let me think about it.
00:38:14We've known each other since we were 12 months.
00:38:22Um, that's great.
00:38:25You have such a great memory, sweetheart.
00:38:28Come here.
00:38:28How about that, dude?
00:38:34Let me see your fire for Bella.
00:38:37So what do you do for work?
00:38:38Damn, what should I do for work?
00:38:41He's a fashion designer.
00:38:44His dad wanted him to take over the family bank,
00:38:46but he decided to design clothes.
00:38:52So you're not the son of the B&N dirt?
00:38:56Uh, no, you see, the thing is my dad owns a share in both the bank and B&N.
00:39:07Well, let's talk about you, Mr. Holmes.
00:39:10I hear swimmers don't exactly make that much money.
00:39:13Not much, but I do own an athleisure brand that's valued at $1.3 billion this year.
00:39:21$1.3 billion?
00:39:24It's not a big deal.
00:39:25Although I am the only one on Forbes' 30 under 30 list that
00:39:29achieved their success through entrepreneurship as opposed to inheritance.
00:39:38It's getting a little hot in here, don't you think?
00:39:49Do you want to go grab plates with me?
00:39:53Come on.
00:39:55No.
00:40:04Okay, he is super rich and hot.
00:40:09I swear he still has feelings for you.
00:40:12He can give you a way better life.
00:40:15We almost ended up in bed together this afternoon.
00:40:18What?
00:40:21We almost ended up in bed together this afternoon.
00:40:25What?
00:40:29Oh, he must be amazing in bed.
00:40:35Broke things off with his fiancee though, right?
00:40:39Okay, that's the thing, right?
00:40:40He wants to be with me, but he's avoiding talking about her.
00:40:43What the fork?
00:40:46You did?
00:40:47No, no, but I was overwhelmed.
00:40:52You did the right thing.
00:40:53I shouldn't have pushed you to make up with him, okay?
00:40:57I mean, he can't just expect to come back after all these years
00:41:01and avoiding responsibilities just to enjoy the benefits.
00:41:05Just crap.
00:41:10I do feel better now.
00:41:12He wouldn't be half as successful without you.
00:41:16Well, it's all meaningless now, isn't it?
00:41:23Scumbag.
00:41:26I'm going to stand up for Bella and teach him a lesson.
00:41:39Meet up and leave.
00:41:41We need to rest.
00:41:44Troy has school tomorrow.
00:41:47You're right.
00:41:48It's a bit too late.
00:41:50I'll get going.
00:41:51See you, kiddo.
00:41:53Bye.
00:42:01Mom?
00:42:02Is this Eric's wallet?
00:42:15Bella?
00:42:19Eric!
00:42:21Eric!
00:42:23Eric!
00:42:36Hey, what are you doing out here?
00:42:37I thought I heard-
00:42:38Are you back?
00:42:40I forgot my wallet.
00:42:42Right.
00:42:42You left this.
00:42:45Thanks.
00:42:45Yeah, right.
00:42:47It's just that-
00:42:48I didn't open it.
00:42:49You can look to see if anything's missing.
00:42:53It's not necessary.
00:42:56Look, I was out of line today.
00:42:59Sorry.
00:43:02You're a great mother and a wife.
00:43:05I shouldn't have-
00:43:06Let's forget about it.
00:43:07It's fine.
00:43:11We had some good memories, though.
00:43:15In the past.
00:43:15Let bygones be bygones.
00:43:18Still friends, though, right?
00:43:20Yeah.
00:43:21Yeah, we're-
00:43:34Oh, God.
00:43:35He remembered my birthday?
00:43:41Happy belated birthday, Bella.
00:43:45Happy-
00:43:50I'm sorry for kicking him out.
00:44:06No, you did a good job.
00:44:08I just-
00:44:10I should have let him go sooner.
00:44:14I thought pretending to be straight was hard.
00:44:17I forgot how hard it is for you to hide your love.
00:44:20Yeah.
00:44:22Let's pick something cute to cheer Mom up.
00:44:33What about this?
00:44:37Mommy looks good in anything.
00:44:43Since you just got your new bonus,
00:44:46it's a buy for me.
00:44:47And why would I buy you a gift?
00:44:49After pretending to be your straight husband,
00:44:52I was allergic for days.
00:44:55You owe me.
00:44:57Okay, I'm gonna go pee.
00:44:59So, sweeties, serve yourself, okay?
00:45:03Okay.
00:45:03Okay.
00:45:18Oh, hey.
00:45:22Ma'am, I don't think we have anything here for you.
00:45:25Zara's out the door to your left.
00:45:28Also, we don't welcome pets and children.
00:45:34I'm sorry, miss, but this is a pet and kid-friendly shopping mall.
00:45:38And please don't lay your hands on my son.
00:45:41This is a limited edition dress.
00:45:44Worth $5,000.
00:45:46You can't afford it.
00:45:48Excuse me, but my mom is the host of Short TV.
00:45:51She even won an award.
00:45:53She can afford anything here.
00:45:55What's the name again?
00:45:56Never heard of it.
00:45:58It's not your fault you're uneducated.
00:46:00Okay, don't do that.
00:46:01You know what? We're gonna go.
00:46:02We're just gonna go.
00:46:03That's fine.
00:46:11Stop!
00:46:12You've ruined this outfit.
00:46:14And now you need to pay for it.
00:46:17Mommy, I wasn't chewing gum.
00:46:19I promise.
00:46:19If you want compensation, you have to prove it.
00:46:21Because otherwise, my son is innocent.
00:46:24Like mother, like son, you rascal bitch.
00:46:27Your kid said you're some famous host.
00:46:31I'm gonna post your photos online.
00:46:33You ugly woman.
00:46:34You're just picking on us because my dad's not here.
00:46:36Cute little bastard.
00:46:38Watch your mouth.
00:46:40Security!
00:46:43This woman who claims to be a famous host is bullying me.
00:46:53Even if your husband comes back, he couldn't help you.
00:46:56Daddy David, where are you?
00:46:59That's right.
00:47:00Looks like your boy abandoned you.
00:47:05Hey, man.
00:47:07Weren't you two gonna like sleep together or something?
00:47:09Why didn't you ask her about what happened eight years ago?
00:47:11It's hopeless now.
00:47:13She's happy with her husband and son.
00:47:16Her husband, what's his name?
00:47:18David?
00:47:19Haven't you like dug into his background?
00:47:21Like, I swear there's something seriously wrong with him.
00:47:23Dad!
00:47:23Help.
00:47:24Mommy got hurt.
00:47:25Mommy got hurt.
00:47:29Guys, check this out.
00:47:31This kid's so desperate to avoid punishment
00:47:34that he found this random guy on the street to be his dad.
00:47:37What a bummer.
00:47:39Hey, Eric.
00:47:40Sir.
00:47:42Don't be fooled by them.
00:47:43How dare you touch my wife and son?
00:47:56Not bad.
00:48:03OMG.
00:48:06Are you Eric Holmes?
00:48:08The legendary swimming champion?
00:48:11In the flesh.
00:48:14Sir, you're too kind, but this woman and her kid don't deserve your help.
00:48:21Joy, I'm sorry.
00:48:22I'm sorry.
00:48:22Joy asked me for help, so now I'm his dad.
00:48:25And, of course, your husband, too.
00:48:30Mr. Holmes, I can't believe I'm meeting you in person.
00:48:34And I watched your TV show.
00:48:35It's awesome.
00:48:37Oh, really?
00:48:37Then how come you don't recognize my wife?
00:48:40Oh, my.
00:48:43You really are his wife.
00:48:46I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Holmes.
00:48:49This was all just a misunderstanding.
00:48:51This was all just a misunderstanding.
00:48:54Can we let it go?
00:48:55I gave you that chance.
00:48:57I think you should get your manager now, and then we'll let the cameras do the talking.
00:49:00If my kid is innocent, I will make sure that my wife and kid get the justice they deserve.
00:49:17Apologize!
00:49:18Mr. Holmes, I'm sorry.
00:49:20I...
00:49:21How does it feel now?
00:49:23If a kid had no trust or support, where would they end up?
00:49:27If a kid had no trust or support, where would they end up?
00:49:32I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes.
00:49:34Are you?
00:49:34I'm fired!
00:49:36No!
00:49:42Eric, how old and tall are you?
00:49:45I'm 26 years old and six feet tall.
00:49:52Are you single?
00:49:53Troy!
00:49:55Mom, I wish Eric was my dad.
00:49:57Troy, if daddy heard you, he would be really sad to hear that.
00:50:01Okay?
00:50:02Hey, let's pick something out for your mom, huh?
00:50:04What do you think suits her?
00:50:06Could I get that one?
00:50:10That one and that one over there.
00:50:16If I could have that wrapped up.
00:50:17I can't afford these.
00:50:20I can't afford these.
00:50:22I can.
00:50:22Okay, I don't need you buying things for me, though.
00:50:25Hey, it would be my honor as your husband.
00:50:28Plus, you're gonna need a lot more if you're gonna be hosting.
00:50:32What about that red one over there?
00:50:34Be nice on camera.
00:50:36Could I get that one wrapped up?
00:50:38Sure.
00:50:39Thank you, sir.
00:50:39I'll have them all set for you.
00:50:44But I have to go home now.
00:50:46If you need me, anytime.
00:50:49Just call me.
00:50:51I can't believe I queued forever for these.
00:50:55They are gonna be brought to tears.
00:50:59OMG.
00:51:02Uh, has this place been robbed?
00:51:05No.
00:51:10Oops.
00:51:12My bad.
00:51:14My bad.
00:51:23Peanut butter and banana.
00:51:27Very tasty.
00:51:32Uh, I'm David.
00:51:34And what's your name?
00:51:36Lucas.
00:51:37Heard a lot about you.
00:51:39Oh, are you sure?
00:51:44Well, it seems like I'm quite popular.
00:51:57Eric, you idiot.
00:51:58I knew something was off.
00:52:03Oh, he's got fantastic taste.
00:52:09Second only to me, of course.
00:52:11Don't make me waver, David.
00:52:15Honey, I can't pretend to be your husband anymore.
00:52:19I've got a crush on someone.
00:52:21No way.
00:52:22Wait, who is it?
00:52:23Oh, his name is Lucas Wayne.
00:52:27And he is much hotter than Eric.
00:52:30You've got to be kidding me.
00:52:31That's Eric's best bud.
00:52:33Why is he so lucky?
00:52:35No, that's not the point.
00:52:36Okay, dating him is going to expose our secret.
00:52:38Trust me.
00:52:40I won't spill the beans.
00:52:49Bella, congratulations.
00:52:58Bella, congratulations.
00:53:01Your show with Eric hit the highest ratings in its slot.
00:53:05Please have a seat.
00:53:06Can we get to the point?
00:53:10I'm promoting you back to short news.
00:53:12What?
00:53:13No.
00:53:14How could you let her steal my show?
00:53:16Your low-rated show.
00:53:18I hope you both bring short news back to glory.
00:53:21Dual hosts.
00:53:23Oh, you wanted a solo.
00:53:25Yeah, and dream on.
00:53:27You both have unique styles.
00:53:29You'll complement each other.
00:53:32I really hope that you mean that, Humbert.
00:53:37Okay, I don't buy it.
00:53:39Dad, how could you do this to me?
00:53:40I'll ditch her as soon as this show and your name blow up.
00:54:01Thanks for looking after her.
00:54:02Only for Bella.
00:54:05Bye.
00:54:06See ya.
00:54:19Thank you for not telling Eric I'm not really Bella's husband.
00:54:23There's no hiding from lovers' eyes.
00:54:25If they're meant to be together, they'll find a way.
00:54:29I'm sorry.
00:54:43Eric, I'm craving for Madeleine cake.
00:54:46Could you bring some on your way to the maternity clinic?
00:54:48Stephanie?
00:54:49Bella?
00:54:50Oops, my fault.
00:54:52Ever since I got pregnant, my brain's been all over the place.
00:54:56Is that so?
00:54:57Eric always says I'm getting dumber.
00:55:00Anyway, I'll hang up now.
00:55:02See ya.
00:55:05Glad you reached out.
00:55:06I've already sent Bella's comeback gift.
00:55:08Now it's your turn.
00:55:10Oh, I'll make sure her return debut is a complete disaster.
00:55:14Can't wait.
00:55:18Oh, uh, this is darker than the shade that I normally use.
00:55:32That shade is out.
00:55:33Don't be so picky.
00:55:36You know what?
00:55:37I can use mine.
00:55:38Do you want to hand me the brush?
00:55:40If you don't trust my skill, then you can do it yourself.
00:55:43We're live in 15 minutes.
00:55:45Oh, take your time, Bella.
00:55:56Oops!
00:55:57Bella, you look like shit.
00:56:00We're live in five.
00:56:06Oh, come here!
00:56:07We can watch from here without disturbing anyone!
00:56:12Eric, where's my mom?
00:56:15Don't worry, they always say best for last.
00:56:24Bella, you are late!
00:56:25Broadcasting is not a catwalk!
00:56:28Don't mess it up!
00:56:34Good evening, everyone.
00:56:35This is Short News Brief But Not Haste.
00:56:37I am Bella Emerson.
00:56:38And I'm Mia Levy.
00:56:39Here are the first news of the day.
00:56:45And in our last report of the day, a 52-year-old woman has tragically collapsed and died in a gym
00:56:59this afternoon.
00:57:01Reports suggest that she was trying to lose 20 pounds in just one week, which led to this
00:57:05heartbreaking incident.
00:57:07So, Bella, do you think the gym should be responsible for this incident?
00:57:15I don't know.
00:57:25It looks like Bella has yet to get in that short-snooze rhythm.
00:57:29In this case...
00:57:30Focus the camera on Mia.
00:57:32Airtime is earned.
00:57:33That's odd.
00:57:35Mom's in trouble!
00:57:36Hey, don't worry, she's got this.
00:57:38And after reviewing our legal responsibilities, we also want to encourage people to lose weight
00:57:42rationally.
00:57:48Time to wrap it up.
00:57:49That concludes...
00:57:50I want to apologize for the earlier report from Miss Levy that made us misjudge this
00:57:55kind and selfless mother.
00:57:57Bella!
00:57:57How dare you!
00:57:58This tragedy is entirely because she was actually trying to get a liver transplant for her son.
00:58:04To support him, Short News is donating $10,000 for his surgery.
00:58:09Bella!
00:58:10And additionally, Short News is opening up a support hotline to honor the mother's legacy.
00:58:16And I'm sure my co-anchor, Mia, will donate, correct?
00:58:22That concludes today's Short News.
00:58:23I am Bella Emerson.
00:58:25Who told you to think of-
00:58:26The phones are blowing up!
00:58:28Everyone's asking for the donation account number!
00:58:31Everyone's asking for the donation account number!
00:58:34Hey, let's go home.
00:58:37How are the ratings?
00:58:38Number one.
00:58:42Mr. Holmes donated $100,000!
00:58:56So, Troy, your dad's not a very reliable husband, huh?
00:58:59Missing your mom's big moment?
00:59:02Husband?
00:59:03He's not her husband.
00:59:04He's not my dad, either.
00:59:07What?
00:59:09Well, mom said he was the first one I called daddy, so I'm stuck.
00:59:20Mom, you did so good today.
00:59:25What are you and Troy doing together?
00:59:28David asked Eric to come and help.
00:59:30That doesn't make any sense.
00:59:31We're making apple pie.
00:59:33We can make it while we wait for him.
00:59:35Stephanie is waiting for him and he comes over and flirts with me?
00:59:39Eric, what the hell are you doing?
00:59:41Come on, mom.
00:59:56Didn't we agree to just be friends?
01:00:00Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?
01:00:15Troy, can you get me some eggs, please?
01:00:18What?
01:00:18Me and Eric already put eggs.
01:00:20Go, please.
01:00:22Fine.
01:00:25Okay, you need to be more respectful, Mr. Holmes.
01:00:27My husband could come home any minute.
01:00:29If you needed someone to step up and be Troy's dad,
01:00:32you could have asked me instead of your best friend.
01:00:34What?
01:00:36Troy told me everything.
01:00:38Why did you lie?
01:00:39You know full well how I feel about you.
01:00:42You're ridiculous.
01:00:43Why do you look at me like that?
01:00:44What did I do?
01:00:46You don't know.
01:00:48Okay, well, while you were flirting here with me,
01:00:50your fiancé and unborn child were waiting for you.
01:00:54Fiancé and unborn child?
01:00:55What are you talking about?
01:00:58Stephanie Hill?
01:01:00Your fiancé?
01:01:01She's pregnant, right?
01:01:03Stephanie's pregnant?
01:01:06What?
01:01:07I'm not engaged to Stephanie.
01:01:09I have nothing to do with her.
01:01:10For God's sake, she's single.
01:01:17Bella, it doesn't matter what you hear from everyone.
01:01:21You're the one I always wanted.
01:01:24I'm sorry.
01:01:25You're the one I always wanted.
01:01:28I'm gonna go sort things out with Stephanie.
01:01:34When I was a kid, I thought I'd always be with you.
01:01:37Yeah, but you're my sister.
01:01:39You know, I felt I've always been too easy on you.
01:01:43Eric, what are you trying to say?
01:01:47Stephanie, why did you lie about being engaged?
01:01:51Did you lie about being pregnant?
01:01:53What else have you lied about?
01:01:56Eric, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you.
01:02:01You're my sister.
01:02:03But I don't want to be your sister.
01:02:05I want to be your wife.
01:02:10I'll give you everything you need.
01:02:12I won't leave you like Bella does.
01:02:15One day, you'll understand.
01:02:18When the person comes into your life, everyone else is just a compromise.
01:02:22I don't want to be a compromise.
01:02:27Don't go.
01:02:29Stephanie, please.
01:02:31Stephanie, please.
01:02:34Don't get ahead of yourself, Eric.
01:02:35I separated you eight years ago, and I can do it again.
01:02:40Hey.
01:02:41Yeah, I got some updates.
01:02:43Want to meet at the cafe?
01:02:50Would you join me?
01:02:52Join me for breakfast, my lady.
01:02:54Women don't like to be questioned.
01:02:58Join me for breakfast.
01:03:00That's too demanding now.
01:03:05Breakfast is ready, and I can't eat without you.
01:03:11Okay, are you morally and legally available, sir?
01:03:16Yes.
01:03:17Every inch of me is ready.
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:22We can go.
01:03:30Hey, Oliver.
01:03:31Big name swimmer.
01:03:33Are you being sarcastic because I get silver medals all the time?
01:03:37What do you want, Stephanie Hill?
01:03:39My archenemy's sidekick?
01:03:42I'm here to help you exchange your silver medal for a gold one.
01:03:46This testimony from your former teen doctor proves that Eric doped.
01:03:50He has Eric's actual urine test that was replaced back then.
01:04:00What did Eric do to make you want to do this to him?
01:04:03Aren't you excited?
01:04:04You can finally beat Eric, take back your gold medal, and win back Bella Emerson,
01:04:09the girl you loved at first sight.
01:04:13Interesting.
01:04:14What do you want?
01:04:20Eric Holmes, Oliver Scott exposed you as a secret doper.
01:04:24Is this true?
01:04:25What's your response to the urine test Oliver exposed?
01:04:27Did you use shading?
01:04:27No more questions.
01:04:29Does your silence mean you're admitting to his accusation?
01:04:34Okay, what did you say?
01:04:35Oh, it looks like Eric didn't tell you.
01:04:38He's caught up in a doping scandal.
01:04:41His gold medals are in jeopardy.
01:04:43That must be some mistake.
01:04:44Given his scandal, his show has been cancelled.
01:04:48And you're fired, bitch.
01:04:51You're gonna regret this.
01:04:53Oh, no, you will, for supporting him.
01:04:56His company stocks are crashing.
01:04:58He's gonna be broke and in debt soon.
01:05:09So, why haven't you been answering your phone?
01:05:13Sorry the investors kept calling.
01:05:15I didn't do it, you know, the doping, I mean.
01:05:19I know.
01:05:23I just, I thought I finally became this person that you could lean on.
01:05:30And now I just feel like a burden to you.
01:05:32No, look, don't feel that way.
01:05:34You never have been.
01:05:37Why don't you go to work?
01:05:39Why don't you go to work?
01:05:43Oh, my fault.
01:05:45No, Humbert has had an in for me for a long time.
01:05:48The only reason why I've been working this long is because of you.
01:05:56Hey, we're, um, we're both losers now.
01:05:59I think we are finally in the perfect match.
01:06:03You got a good sense of humor, Emerson.
01:06:06Right.
01:06:07Yeah, well, you do pick up some traits from the people you hang out with.
01:06:13Hey.
01:06:16From now on, we face everything together.
01:06:21Okay.
01:06:35Okay.
01:06:50Hey, Eric, I have an emergency.
01:06:52I'm going to catch up with you later.
01:07:06You got something?
01:07:11I think it's time to give me the keys back to my house.
01:07:14You're so ruthless.
01:07:15Please leave.
01:07:16I'm busy.
01:07:19My parents happen to be your investor's friend and are willing to help.
01:07:24Good pro quo.
01:07:27Is that how you see me after living together for 20 years?
01:07:31Okay, you win.
01:07:34I want you to leave her.
01:07:35After that, I'll prove your innocence.
01:07:40Coincidence.
01:07:41You know, I mean, I just made up with Bella, and then this happens.
01:07:47And you, who happens to be powerful and rich, have come to help just in time.
01:07:53You caused all of this, didn't you?
01:07:56Eric.
01:07:56Why are you doing this?
01:07:58You waited only eight years for her.
01:08:02But I waited 20 years for you.
01:08:05You know what waiting feels like, Eric.
01:08:06These are just your obsessions.
01:08:08I'd rather be a regular person.
01:08:17It's kind of weird to hang out with my crush.
01:08:21Why did you frame Eric?
01:08:25Why did you frame Eric?
01:08:27I didn't.
01:08:28He played dirty to win me.
01:08:30No, he wouldn't do that.
01:08:31Bella, I've liked you since high school.
01:08:34Please, just cut the crap.
01:08:37The reason is jealousy, then.
01:08:38Look, just agree to have one date with me.
01:08:41Once.
01:08:42I can give up my gold medal for you.
01:08:44That gold medal is Eric's.
01:08:45Whatever.
01:08:48Deal?
01:08:54Whatever comes.
01:08:57I know Bella will be there to face it all.
01:08:59I know Bella will be there to face it with me.
01:09:02Do you think she feels the same way?
01:09:04Do you think this is the future she wants?
01:09:10Bella is out on a date with the new swim genius at the pool.
01:09:14Don't you get it?
01:09:15She only loves geniuses.
01:09:29What are we waiting for?
01:09:31We'll see.
01:09:34Oh, hi.
01:09:35I'm fine.
01:09:40Let's have a match.
01:09:41Fair and square.
01:09:43Are you really just messing around with Stephanie
01:09:45so you can have this naive, childish competition with me?
01:09:48Well, I purposely chose a time when you wouldn't be using steroids.
01:09:51If you win, I'll drop the charges.
01:09:54I prepared your swimsuit.
01:09:59I'm sorry.
01:10:19Bimu Lahore Na.
01:10:22I can't believe I suspected you of doping.
01:10:24Thanks for the compliment.
01:10:25Not so bad yourself.
01:10:29Thank you for being here with me.
01:10:31It's a dream come true.
01:10:32No problem.
01:10:34I'll give you two some space and go get things back on track.
01:10:40I'm sorry.
01:10:41I know I said that we were going to tackle things together, but...
01:10:49Bella, you bitch.
01:10:50How does it feel to be caught in the act?
01:10:55Where's Oliver?
01:10:56Stephanie, you let me down.
01:10:58If you dare hurt Bella again, I-
01:11:00Bella is always about Bella.
01:11:02She went bankrupt and lost her parents eight years ago,
01:11:04and now she's been fired from short TV.
01:11:06You know what happened eight years ago?
01:11:10What did you do?
01:11:11I...
01:11:12I saved you, okay?
01:11:16Hello?
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:20Yeah, okay, got it.
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:23Adam spoke to my former swim doctor.
01:11:26He admitted to falsifying the evidence.
01:11:30Stephanie, I'm not going to hold you responsible, and
01:11:33these are going to be my last words to you.
01:11:39Eric!
01:11:44You idiot.
01:11:45Happy now?
01:11:47I'm Oliver Scott.
01:11:4824 years old, six foot two, 180 pounds.
01:11:53I have an apartment, a Chevy,
01:11:55$75,000 a year, and a dog named Pebby.
01:11:59What's wrong with you?
01:12:01I'm not going to leave you waiting.
01:12:03Are you serious?
01:12:04After knowing me for who I am?
01:12:06Yes, I am.
01:12:08I love your determination.
01:12:13But I love my stepbrother, Eric.
01:12:15It doesn't matter.
01:12:18I'll be here waiting for you anytime.
01:12:22Just call on me, my queen.
01:12:25I love you.
01:12:44Belle, Oliver's going alive.
01:12:46Do you think it has anything to do with Eric?
01:12:48Dave, I'm busy right now.
01:12:49Hey, has Oliver contacted you?
01:12:52Do you know if he's going to keep slandering you, or...
01:12:54I don't care, just let him talk.
01:13:02Am I hallucinating,
01:13:04or did I hear Bella's voice coming from your phone?
01:13:08I'm hallucinating too.
01:13:10I heard Eric's from yours.
01:13:13Oh.
01:13:15I want to apologize to Eugene Holmes.
01:13:16I shouldn't have doubted his achievements based on unreliable evidence.
01:13:20Turns out, with all the newest updates...
01:13:28This is a wound for me.
01:13:31It's my honor.
01:13:33Thank you for recognizing me.
01:13:39Thanks, Oliver.
01:13:50Hi.
01:13:56Hi.
01:14:04You had so many chances to tell me.
01:14:08Why didn't you?
01:14:11Why didn't you tell me that you got into Oxford,
01:14:13and that you refused because of me?
01:14:15Because I didn't want to leave you.
01:14:17Okay, this is why I didn't say anything.
01:14:20I had lost everything, and if I stayed with you,
01:14:23I would have just brought you down with me.
01:14:26Bella, everything I have is because of you.
01:14:33I think this is God's way of just testing our love.
01:14:37You know, making us better people against all odds, right?
01:14:46I just have one more question to ask you.
01:14:50Is Troy my son?
01:14:51The answer's obvious, Daddy.
01:14:54Troy! Hey, buddy!
01:14:56How did you get in here?
01:14:58Uncle Lucas and David gave me the key.
01:15:00Lucas and David?
01:15:02You kidding?
01:15:04Eric, I knew you were my dad the moment I first saw you.
01:15:07And how did you know that, my little tyke?
01:15:10Because I'm super smart, just like my mom and dad.
01:15:13Mommy, I've been a fatherless kid for seven years.
01:15:16How are you going to make it up to me?
01:15:18Hey, don't blame your mom.
01:15:20It's all my fault.
01:15:21Daddy, you left me for seven years without a word.
01:15:25How are you going to make it up to me?
01:15:29What do you want, sweetheart?
01:15:42What the hell? David, you are so dead!
01:15:51Oh, that's awesome!
01:15:52All right, I mean, can we call it even?
01:15:55Can you not call me?
01:15:56Please?
01:15:58Wait!
01:16:10You shouldn't be here, bitch.
01:16:12I'm waiting for the news.
01:16:13Can you be patient?
01:16:15Security!
01:16:16Hey, hey!
01:16:17That's enough!
01:16:19Beat, Levy, you're not in the position to do so.
01:16:22Are you crazy?
01:16:23I'm the station director's daughter.
01:16:25Not anymore.
01:16:27I just bought short TV.
01:16:29And I'm gifting it to Bella.
01:16:35Dad!
01:16:36Kick them out!
01:16:37Mia, it's over.
01:16:41Let's go.
01:16:43Come on.
01:16:49Okay, I want to change the name to Short Max TV
01:16:53because we are going to crush our jobs to the max.
01:16:57Sure.
01:17:05Yes?
01:17:09Thank you so much.
01:17:11I really, really appreciate it.
01:17:13Okay.
01:17:15BNN just called and they asked me to be their host.
01:17:18Congratulations!
01:17:20Looks like your dreams are finally coming true.
01:17:33Congratulations, Mr. Holmes.
01:17:34You are the first entrepreneur to rank number one on Forbes' 30 under 30 list
01:17:39without the help of an inheritance.
01:17:41How are you so good at what you do?
01:17:44I have my lucky star.
01:17:47My wife.
01:17:50No, I don't have one yet, but I will.
01:18:06Bella Emerson, will you marry me?
01:18:10Yes, I will.
01:18:27This newly engaged couple's wedding is only one month away.
01:18:31I'm Troy Holmes Emerson, and this is The Bella Emerson Show.
01:18:39Trude, are you okay?
01:18:47Um, Eric, I'm, uh, I'm pregnant.
01:18:55We're gonna be a team of four!
