(gentle music)

- Rose!

Rose, sweetie,
you're gonna be late.

- Yeah, coming!
- Uh-huh!

(chuckles)

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

That goes for you, too.
- Heh. - Oh, hey.

- Whoop. - Excuse me.
- Hi.

- Hi. - Did you get everything?
- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.
- Hope you have a great day, kiddo.

- Hmm, hmm.
- All right, saddle up. Let's go!

- Okay. - Let's go, let's go.
- Okay, whoa.

(door clicks open)

(gentle music continues)

(school bell rings)

(indistinct chatter)

- Hi, chloe! Say hi
to your mom, okay?

- Will do!

- Come here!
- Mom!

- Oh, come on!
Mwah, mwah, mwah.

- Bye.

- Have a good day, you two!

Bye. - Bye.
- Bye.

- Anyone else?

(pencil scratching)

- Rose? Rose?

- Huh?

- Come on, what other traits
come from your parents,

Besides inability
to concentrate?

(scoffs)
- uh...

I dunno.

Dress sense.
(students chuckle)

- I'll put that down as
aesthetic sensibility.

Also sense of humor.

- Now, class, for next
week, we need two examples

For five trait categories,

And I want you to go into
great detail in this.

- Hey.

You okay?

- Yeah.

I guess he didn't know.

- If it's any consolation,

I don't think I've inherited
anything from my parents.

- What about your
mom's tenacity?

- You mean I can be annoying?

(laughs)

- Well, I think I
inherited my mom's anxiety.

Don't need chance for that.

- See? It's all nurture, baby.

(fingers snap)

- See ya.
- Bye.

(engine starts)

- Hey.
- Hello.

- How was school?
- It was all right.

- Well, I have a little
surprise for you.

- What is it?

- Hmm... You'll like it.

It'll be fun. (laughs)

- Mom, tell me!

- It'll be good, I promise.

(chuckles)

(rifle pops) - oh.
- Oh, that was close!

(rifle pops)

- Oh, they're such tiny targets.

- Okay, you know what? It's a lot
harder than it looks, so uh...

- Okay, well let me have a try.
- Mm-hmm.

- Hold this, please.

- Go, z!

- Well, let's just see.

- Okay, you have to
line up the... This one.

- Oh, okay, okay.

(rifle pops, target clangs)

(chuckling)

(rifle pops, target clangs)

(rifle pops, target clangs)

(winner bell dings)
- ah!

- Geez, mom, I didn't know
you were a crack shot!

- I cannot believe
what I just saw!

- And look what I just won!

- Beginner's luck. (laughs)

- Hey. Anyone have a sudden
hankerin' for popcorn?

- I do.
- I wanna see if mom can win me a new phone case.

- Oh, well, I have
been summoned.

- All right, well, I'll
meet you over there.

- Nice shooting, zara.

(clicks tongue) (laughs)

Oh, thanks, babe.

Hmm.

So, are you nervous?

- For what?

- Your exams. What else?

- Oh, no, I'm gonna ace them.

- Okay.

I don't know, you just seemed...

A little quiet maybe,
in the car earlier.

- So, we started learning
about genetics in biology.

- Oh.

I see.

- Yeah, I dunno, it just
made me wonder again.

- Look, I know we've
talked about it before.

We just don't have any
information on your birth parents.

- Well, there's gotta
be a way to find them.

- Of course, I just don't want you
getting distracted during your exams.

- Mom.

- Look, I am not
saying never, just...

Not right now.

- Okay.

- Hey, I did have something
else I wanted to tell you.

So, if you buckle
down at school,

There might just be a new car

To go along with
those driving lessons.

- You don't have to do that.

- Of course, it's your birthday!

I thought you'd be pumped!

- No, I am! I am!

Really, and you've
got yourself a deal.

- Okay.

- Oh, we love you.

- Thanks, mom.

So, there's this website where I
can find my biological parents.

Except for me to get anywhere,

I need to find my
adoption papers.

And for me to get those...

- You need to speak
to your parents.

They still dodging?

- You know my mom.
- Try your dad.

He's more chill, right?

We all have to have
meetings with her today.

- What? Why?

- One-on-ones with the
new guidance counselor.

- So, that's who she is.

Sweet! You can use a
little bit of guidance.

(chuckles)

- Hi! Come on in.

(clears throat)

- Take a seat.

You must be rose miller.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I'm miss adams, but
you can call me hayley.

And my role here is to help
you plan some future goals.

Sound good?

- Great!
- Yeah. (chuckles nervously)

- Why don't we start with you telling
me a little bit about yourself.

- Uh, my name's rose.

You already knew that.

Um, I wanna go to college,

Major in molecular biology.

- That's so exciting!

Well, I've seen your grades,

So there's nothing to
worry about on that end.

Um, what about a social side?

- Good. Yeah, I have
my circle of friends.

Chloe and I, we're pretty close.

- Yeah, chloe,
she mentioned you.

It was so cute.

It-it's like you're
two peas in a pod.

(chuckles)

- Is there anything going
on, on the family side?

- Good.

- Anything you wanna
get off your chest?

- No.

(chuckles nervously)

- Okay.

Um...

Well, we're gonna meet
again in a few days,

So if you wanna come in with
some things you'd like to achieve

By the end of semester,
we can make a plan.

- Great, yeah,
that sounds great.

Hmm. Are we done?

- Yeah. (chuckles)

(concerning music)

(gentle music)

(phone beeping)

- Hey, honey, I'm gonna jump on
your computer a sec for a recipe.

(nervous music)

- What was that?

- Oh, nothing, I was just
gonna look up a recipe,

But I am just
going to improvise.

- Okay. I'll be
upstairs if you need me.

- Sure thing.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Can I have a minute?
- Uh, can it wait?

My inbox is up to
five figures, so.

- Rose is playing
detective again.

- Hmm?

- Her birth parents?

- Oh.

- Uh, I mean I told her
we don't have any details.

- Would you believe that?

- It's the truth.

- She doesn't want the truth.

She wants support
and understanding.

- Well then, can
you go talk to her?

- Yeah, absolutely,
just let me...

- Huh, you know what? I'm
gonna head up there right now.

- That'd be great.

(footsteps tap, approaching)

- Yeah?

- Hey, kiddo.

- Hey!

- I hear you've been on
that quite a bit lately.

- I knew mom was snooping!

- Well, she's just
looking out for you.

- Don't stick up for her.

- I'm afraid it's my job!

When I'm not sticking
up for you, kiddo.

- Hey, I just, I
want you to know

You can always come to us.

Okay? Whatever it is
you need or wanna know.

(scoffs) - I'm not sure
mom feels the same.

- She does.

She's just a little
scared, that's all.

I mean, it's bad enough you're
off to college next year.

She doesn't wanna
be left behind.

- Okay, I would never do that.

- I know! So,
just reassure her.

And if you want us to dig out
the adoption papers, we will.

Just stay off those websites.

They're just after your money.

(chuckles)

- Deal?

- Okay, deal.

(door clicks open)

- I think we got off on
the wrong foot last time.

Our last meeting felt
a little awkward.

Shall we try again?
- Sure.

- First things
first, come this way.

Come on!
- Okay. (chuckles)

- This is my favorite tea.

It's really good when
you need to think.

- So, I know last time

You seemed a little
bit uncomfortable

Talking with a
guidance counselor,

And I totally get that.

So, ask me whatever you'd like.

- Okay. Um...

I dunno, did you always wanna
be a guidance counselor?

- I actually wanted
to be a dancer,

But that didn't work out.

- I'm sure you
could still make it.

(chuckles)

- That's very nice of you,

But that ship has
sailed, my friend.

Talent, money, men. Huh.

- What about men?

- Hmm, where do I even start?

Many a man has
gotten in the way.

What about you? Any
boys in the way?

- Oh, no. No.

- Go on.

- Okay, there's like...

A few prospects.

- Oh, prospects, okay.

(chuckles) how does that feel?

- Yeah, like you don't know.

- I wouldn't.

I um... I was a bit of
a goof in high school.

Kind of a loner.

I was adopted and...

Before that, we
moved around a lot.

- I'm adopted.

- You were?

- Yeah.

But I've been living with
my parents my whole life.

- Well, that's good.

- I mean, we have our moments.

- What is it?

- Just lately, I've been wondering
about my biological parents.

- What do you know?

- Nothing.

But I want to.

I just feel guilty.

- No.

There's nothing for you
to feel guilty for, ever.

So, who's taking it
worse, mom or dad?

- I thought my mom
would level with me,

But she distracted
me with a car.

- She probably just needs time.

(sighs)
- yeah, but I've...

Waited my whole life.

- Well, have you told her?

Oh, no, you need to tell her.

I know that it might
make you feel awkward,

But you have a right to know.

- I mean, dad says she's scared.

- He could be right.

She might be scared
of sharing you.

- Yeah, that makes sense.

- I'm sorry for the other day.

Sometimes it just takes me a
while to open up to people.

- To tell you the truth,
I was very intimidated.

- By me?
- Mm-hmm.

I was like, what on earth
am I gonna tell this girl

That she doesn't already know?

(chuckles lightly)

(school bell rings)

- Hmm.

- So, when can we do this again?

(phone chimes)

(footsteps tap, approaching)

- Well, that's like the
10th time this morning.

Is there something
you're not telling us?

If it's a boy, he
must really like you!

- What boy?
- It's not a boy.

It's just hayley.

- Who's hayley?
- My new guidance counselor.

- Oh.
- Oh, I'm gonna get my backpack.

Don't wanna be late.

- Well, at least she's
eager to get to school.

- Right? You don't think
that's a little weird

For her counselor to be
messaging her all morning?

- Ah, as long as it's sent to her
school email, what's the harm?

- I guess.

Hmm.

- I uh... I think he likes you.

- No, there's no way. He
hasn't even talked to me.

- Really?

- Do you mind if I sit here?

- Sure.

- Rose, we have softball.

- We have time.

- What's up with her?

- Um, you're not really
like other teachers.

- Oh, thank god! (chuckles)

- It's awesome you
chose this school.

- It's awesome that I
got such a star student.

Your parents did a great job.

- Yeah.

Yeah. I uh, I guess they have.

- Are you still feeling guilty?

You know, I can help you find
your birth parents, if you want.

- You can?

- Yeah!

- I dunno.

Like, what if they...

Don't want me in their lives?

- What mom wouldn't want
someone like you in their life?

(sentimental music)

(phone pings)

- Hmm.
- What is it?

- Oh, just a school
trip to the observatory.

Rose is gonna be late.

She said not to worry because
hayley is giving her a lift.

The infamous guidance counselor?

- Oh, right.
- They're joined at the hip.

- Could be worse.

- Hmm.

- You coming?

- I think I'm gonna wait up.

(glass clinks on table)

- Night.

- Yeah, night.

(inhales and exhales deeply)

(concerning music)

(keys clacking)

(message sent beeps)

Come on, rose.

(sighs)

(car rumbles, approaching)

- About everything.
- Yeah.

- I know.
- Okay.

- Do you have any
idea what time it is?

- Mom, I told you
we'd be out late.

- No, this is
completely unacceptable.

- Okay, mom, chill.
- No, I will not chill!

- Hayley, I'm so sorry.
- No, it's fine, it's fine.

Your mom's clearly had
just a stressful day.

- Okay, you know, you're not fooling
me with this cool teacher act.

I'm not some naïve student.
And you bombarding my daughter

With messages is
highly inappropriate.

- Bombarding?
- Yes. - Okay, mom!

- No, get inside.

- Mom, no!

- I will deal with you later.

You know, if you wanna
hang out 'til all hours,

Just find someone your
own age to do it with.

- Rose, you know what? I'm
just gonna... I'm gonna go.

- Yeah. - No, hayley, please!
- No, it's unprofessional.

She is your student,
not your friend.

- She's not my friend.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- She's my daughter!

(trembling breath)
I'm sorry, what?!

- I...

Oh, I'm sorry um...

I'm just gonna go.

(engine turns over)

- She said what?

- I... I... I know.

I mean, why would you
say something like that?

Why would you make
something like that up?

(exhales)

- Well, how did rose take it?

- Well, she was shocked.

We both were.

- You know, you're...
You're right to be angry.

I mean, she was way outta line
bringing rose back so late.

Maybe she was just lashing out
because she knew it was wrong.

- I mean, that's a
pretty specific claim

If she's just lashing out.

I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.

Well... Let's speak
to the school.

Okay, we'll figure this out.

- Okay.

(steadying breath)

Okay.

(call rings)

- Hey.
- It's really late.

What's going on?
- Okay, you're not gonna believe this.

I'm not sure I even do.

But you know hayley?

- How could I forget?

- She says she's my mom.

- What?!

- Shh! I'm not supposed to
be on the phone this late.

- Is she for real?

- Says she is.

(scoffs)

- Thought she was acting weird.

Now we know why.

So, is she even
a real counselor?

- I don't know!

- What did you say?

- I haven't really gotten the
chance to talk to her yet.

I don't know, it's a lot!

- Does your mom know?

(scoffs)
- yeah.

She's angry.

- She's just
looking out for you.

- What do you think?

- I think that you
should sus her out first

Before you start getting
you know, attached.

- Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

- Chloe!

- One sec, mom! Just
leaving a voice note.

I have to go.

- Okay, see ya tomorrow.

- Bye.

- Bye.

(call beeps off)

(sighs heavily)

(school bell rings)

Is it true? What you said?

- It wasn't the way
I wanted to tell you.

- You got this job so you can
get close to me, didn't you?

- Yeah.

- I didn't even know if
you wanted to know me.

(teary exhale)

- I didn't wanna just
drop a bomb on you.

- Well, you did.
- I know.

Please don't hate me.

- I don't hate you.

I just need time.

(footsteps thump away)

(melancholy music)

(exhales)

- Okay, so, I've been thinking.

Um, if the adoption agency
confirms that it's true,

Then I think how
we deal with this

Should be up to rose.

Honey, what do you think?

- She seems genuine.

If she really is my birth mom,

Then of course, I
wanna get to know her.

- Okay then.

I will reach out to her.

(teary) okay?

(sighs)

- Hey.

- Hey.

- You did good today.

- Oh.
- That wasn't easy.

- Huh. Oh, well.

- How are you feeling?
(inhales and exhales deeply)

- I just...

I just wish I could've gotten
in front of this, you know?

- Hmm.
- I knew this was something rose had on her mind

And I did not help
prepare her for it.

- Well, at least we can
tackle this head on together.

- I'm just worried about rose.

- Hmm.
- I mean, this is massive for her.

Oh, and I hate the way
hayley is handling it.

- Makes two of us.
- Huh.

- But what can we do?

You know, the more we fight it...
- I know.

I know.

I just wanna make sure rose feels
heard in all of this, you know?

- Hey, don't worry, she will be.

(gentle music)

(chuckles happily)

(exhales heavily)

(birds chirping)

- Thank you so much
for speaking with me.

I wouldn't blame you if
you ghosted me completely.

- I would never do that.

(scoffs)

- So, zara got in touch.

She wants to have a big
showdown at your house.

- She said that?

- Just a chat.

She just wants to lay a
plan out for the future.

She didn't tell you?

- She's not really telling
me much at the moment.

- Well, I hope you'll be there because
I'm really gonna need the support.

(sighs)

- Are you okay?

- She told me not to talk to
you before we all get together

And I don't know who to trust.

- She's just being cautious.

- And I can keep a
secret, if you can.

- Why did you give
me up for adoption?

- It's complicated.

- I promise I won't hold
anything against you.

- I was a different
person back then.

A lot has changed.
I've changed.

It's part of the reason why I
wanted to get in touch with you.

- What's the other part?

- Just really wanna
make things right.

(doorbell chimes)

(door clicks open)

- Okay, we can do this, right?

- I'm with you.
- Okay.

(chuckles) (door thuds shut)

- Hi, hayley.

Well, it's nice to meet you.
Thank you so much for coming by.

- Thank you for having me.
Your house is... Lovely.

- Huh, my baby really
landed on her feet.

(chuckles)

- Uh, sorry, so this is, this
is max, this is my husband.

- And rose's dad.

- It's a pleasure.

- Why don't we all
sit down and...

- Uh, first of all, um,

I just wanted to apologize

For my outburst the other night.

It really wasn't... (exhales)

What I had planned, at all.

But it is the truth.

- Well, this is a
complicated situation.

- Yes.

- So, I would really like
to just take it slowly.

Uh, first step, a dna test.

And in the meantime, max will
dig up the adoption paperwork

And contact the agency.
- Sure thing.

- Yeah. Is that
okay with you, rose?

- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- Okay, great.

(chuckles nervously)

- A dna test?

Wow!

Okay.

Why not?

- Great. Uh, I'll
have it sent out.

It's about a
two-week turnaround,

Then when we know for sure,

We can uh, take it
from there, right?

- Well, I've waited
half my life.

What's another two weeks?

- Right.

You know, about that, I hope
you don't mind me asking...

Why now? Why seek out rose
now after all these years?

- I've been trying for
a while to find rose,

But it hasn't always been easy.

- Well, how so? Um...

I take it you went
to the agency.

- Not exactly.

They haven't really
been that helpful.

- Oh, why not? I don't...

- Mom.
- I'm sorry, I'm just..

- It's okay, kiddo.

It's fine.

- I just feel it's
really important

That we go through
the proper channels.

Forgive me if I don't
believe you yet.

So, it would be really
good to know how

And when you first
reach out to them?

- No problem.
- Great.

Um... Do you have
any questions, rose?

- Only about a million.

(laughs)

- But I can ask you those later.

- Well, maybe we can
have a heart to heart.

- Yeah, I'd love that.

- Okay, well...

Thank you so much for coming by.

We really appreciate it. I know
it means a lot to rose, so...

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.

- I'm looking forward to us
working together on this.

- Yeah, we'll just take
it step by step and uh...

(chuckles)

Just glad that we
have a plan in place.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Okay. - Okay.
- Have a good night.

- Yeah, you too.
- Bye.

- I'll see you out.

(ominous music)

(sirens wailing in distance)

(indistinct chatter)

(yawns)
- you get much sleep?

- What do you think?
- Me neither.

I've been thinking.

Some things don't add up.

- What do you mean?

- You've been searching for
your birth mom for years

And she manages to find
you, just like that?

Comes right back into your
life just when you turn 18?

- Okay, what are you saying?

- Nothing, just convenient,
don't you think?

- Okay, so what, you
think she's playing me?

- I don't know.

You've been pretty public
online with your search.

- Chloe.

- It's just, she doesn't
look anything like you.

And you even thought she
seemed off from the start.

- Okay, stop it!

I spoke to her.

I mean, if she's not
genuine, then she's either

The greatest actress on the
planet or the biggest jerk.

- Could be both!

- Seriously! Why can't
anyone just be happy for me?

- Dude, if you are, I am.

- It's someone's
birthday tomorrow.

(chuckles)
- you knew?

- Of course! It's a big day.

- By the way, do I call you
miss adams or rose's mom now?

- Ha.
- I had to tell her, sorry.

- And you can still call
me miss adams. (chuckles)

So, maybe we could get
mocktails after school, instead?

(school bell rings)

- Cool, yeah. I have to
talk to my mom first,

But that'll be fine.

Bye.
- Bye.

(footsteps thump away)

- Wait, what?

- Yeah, camille needed
it in over the weekend.

She flew out today
for the pitch.

I called you, but you didn't...

- My phone was off
because we were...

Hashing it out with
hayley all weekend.

- Well, I covered for
you, but she's not happy.

Look, just make sure you're all set
for the marvotta hotel pitch tonight.

Nail that and I'm sure
all will be forgiven.

(exhales)

Look, I know it's tough
but you're not losing her.

It's just the troublesome teens.

She'll come around.

- Come around to what, exactly?

A cooler mom?

All the upsides,
none of the rules?

- But you've got a plan now.

Stick to it.

- Susan, I...

- What is it?

- Just remembering how
difficult it all was.

The fertility treatments,
the... The waiting,

The... Feeling like a failure.

- Zara, don't do this.

- Feeling like it was never
gonna happen, and then...

And then, the adoption process, well
that was just another punch in the gut.

- But it all worked out
in the end, didn't it?

You've got rose.

- I don't know, susan, I...

I am losing her!

I can feel it!

It's like I'm gonna have to
fight for her all over again.

- It won't come to that.

(scoffs)
- I know.

You're right.

(exhales heavily)

(tense music)

(school bell rings)

(startled gasp then chuckles)

(window whirrs) hey.

- Mom, hayley invited
me for a birthday drink.

Um, I'll be back before dinner.

- But we have plans.

Another time?
- It's okay.

Your mom's right, okay.

There's gonna be
plenty of birthdays

For me to make it up to you.
- Okay.

- Right. - Bye.
- I'll call you.

- I can't believe you
were so rude to her.

- Look, rose, don't start.

Put your seatbelt on.

- Where are we even going?

- To finally get some answers.

(engine starts)

- Yes, this is very irregular.

It's a copy of a copy, and
in a really old format.

The birth mother's
signature, but no name,

And the counter-signatory is long
dead, and he didn't even sign.

What is the birth mother's name?

- Hayley adams.

(computer beeps)

- Nope, nothing.

- When did you switch
over to digital?

- Maybe 15 years ago.

- Okay, so our names could
be in vault somewhere?

- They sure might.

- Tell you what, let
me spend an afternoon

Down in the basement
and get back to you.

- Okay. Uh, that
would be great.

And just um, call us
if you find anything.

(concerning music)

Come on, baby, we
will figure this out.

- Don't baby me.

(exhales sharply)

Sorry.

- Look, why don't we have one
of our movie pizza nights?

You know, before you're
officially a grownup?

(chuckles)
- okay.

- Okay.

(chuckles)

(phone chimes) oh.

Oh, god, no! My meeting.

(elevator chimes)

- All ready to go?

- I thought mom was taking me?

- Dad's got you.

- Let's go!
- Yep! Come on, up, up, up, up! - What?

(chuckle)
- oh!

- No peeking.
- All right.

- All right. All
right, there's a step.

Step up, there you
go. There you go.

Okay.
- Eyes closed.

- Keep your eyes closed.
- Okay, can I look now?

- Not yet.
- No, no, no, no.

- Okay, a few more
steps, few more steps.

One, two three!
(both): Happy birthday!

(keys jingle)
- what?

- Happy 18th, kiddo. Your
first lesson starts now.

- Thank you! (laughing)

- You guys rock.
- Hmm. Love you so much.

- Let's go! Come on!
- Oh my gosh!

- Now, this doesn't mean
you could slack off, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- And you have to be extra careful.

And rose?
- Yeah?

- Have fun.

(engine turns on)

(all): Surprise!

- Oh wow! Uh... Hi!

(chuckles)
- mwah!

- Oh! So exciting!
Happy birthday, baby.

- Happy birthday.
- I know things have been a little crazy,

But we just wanted you to
know how much we love you.

- Hmm.
- Thanks, mom!

- We'll talk about that later.
We're here to celebrate rose!

Come on, come on, come on!
Here, let me take this.

- Whoa!
- Go. In you go.

Say hi to your
cousins. (chuckles)

(upbeat music)

(phone chimes and buzzes)

- Oh, uh sorry, one sec.

(message pings)

(keys clacking)

(message pings)

(indistinct chatter)

- Hmm.

(chuckles lovingly)

- Hey!
- Hey.

- How's it' goin'?

- It's really nice.

It's just kinda
hard to celebrate

With everything going on.

- Happy birthday.

(chuckles, surprised)

I didn't want to
embarrass you at school.

I started it when I
was pregnant with you.

Here.

The newest charm is
the infinity symbol.

It's just right there.

- It's beautiful.

- Well, I'll let
you get back to it.

(worrying music)

- Let's go somewhere.

- Yeah?

Oh, I sent my part
of the dna test out.

- Me too.

- It's only a formality now.

(chuckles)

In terms of who you
want to live with,

Uh, you're 18, so
you get to decide.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I... I guess so.

(chuckles nervously)

- Oh, my god. I'm just...

I don't know why I'm
so emotional right now.

- The moment that they took you from
me was the worst moment of my life.

- Wait, so you
didn't give me up?

Children's services took me?

- I didn't really have
a say in the matter.

Your birthday's always
been really hard.

But not this time.

Hmm. (worrying music)

- Hayley, why is there no record
of you at the adoption agency?

- I don't know.

Um...

Maybe a clerical error?

Maybe if you got to know me,

You would be less nervous
about this whole thing.

Stay with me this weekend.

Huh? I have a... I have
a extra room for you.

Only if you're
comfortable, though.

- Drive carefully.
- Will do!

(indistinct chatter)

(exhales)

- Hey honey, where's rose?

- Uh, upstairs, I think.

- Okay.

(laughing)

- Welcome.

- Wow.

Wait, you live here?

- I do! (exhales)

- Okay, if this is what teacher
money gets, count me in.

- Well, I had to sacrifice
a lot to get here.

- Is that me?

- Yeah.
- May I?

- Yeah.

(sentimental music) hmm.

- Wow.

- You were so cute.

(chuckles)
- I have such big cheeks.

- Yeah.

Do you wanna take a photo?

- Yeah.

(music turns concerning)

- Ready?

(camera shutter snaps)

(chuckle)

Aw.

(rose's phone buzzes)

- Oh uh, my phone
is almost dead.

Um, do you have a phone charger?

I didn't tell them
I was leaving.

- Relax, you're not a
prisoner on day release.

Do you wanna make mocktails?

- Yeah!

(concerning music continues)

(phone clunks)

(indistinct cheering)

You live by the fair?

- Yeah.

- My parents and I, we went
there a couple weeks ago.

- Never been.

(indistinct cheering)

- I hope to be as
successful as you one day.

I mean, your life, it
just seems so cool.

(chuckles)

- Well...

You can stay here
anytime you want.

When life gets a little hard.

- For real?
- Yeah.

I'll have a bedroom
for you and everything.

You should see the closet.

(worried exhale)

- I don't know, maybe we
should call the police.

- No, she's just trying
to prove a point.

- What point exactly?

(phone pings)

Oh, like hell she is.

- What is it?

- She said she's spending
the weekend with hayley.

- You know where they're at?

- She dropped a pin.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

(chuckles)

- My dad would kill
me if he found out

All I had for dinner
was rocky road.

- Well, you only live once.

(concerning music continues)

- So, tell me about my dad.

I mean, like, my birth dad.

- I actually don't
know who he is.

I'm sorry.

Is that important?

(chuckles)

- So, at the park um,

You said you had no choice
when they took me away?

- It's your birthday.

Let's just celebrate.
- No, I'm a big girl, okay?

I can handle it.
- I know.

It's just uh, it's just
not the right time.

I just want you to be happy!

- I'd be happy if
I knew the truth.

- Okay, kiddo.

How about when
everything is confirmed,

I will tell you
anything you wanna know?

I promise.

Hmm? (rapping knock on door)

(knocking continues)

Okay!

- So sorry to
break up the party.

We had an agreement, hayley.

- Ah, yes. The dna test.

I sent off my sample,
so, ball's in your court.

- It's late. We should go.

Rose?

- Okay, there are
no laws against us

Getting to know each other.

- I'm not so sure
about that, honey.

Nothing has been confirmed yet.

- Man, it's gonna take forever.

- You stick to the agreement

Or we tell the school that
you've been harassing rose.

- You're the ones harassing me!

- Don't be ridiculous, rose!
You do not spend the weekend

With someone without
checking with us, first!

- Like you would've said yes.

- That's not the point!

The point is that we are
responsible for you, not hayley.

- Well, I'm happy to
share responsibility.

- I am not speaking
to you right now!

- Hey, whoa, whoa.

- Okay, why are you
being such a tyrant?

- Sorry, what?
- Do not speak to your mother like that!

- I'm sorry, which
mom? I'm confused.

- Okay.

Show's over. Let's go.

Out!

- Bye, rose.

(ominous music)

(door slams shut)

- Rose!

Hey!

Oh no, you are not running
away from us, young lady.

You may be 18, but you're
still our responsibility.

Stop!

Honey, you first.

- Okay.

If hayley insists on
going behind our backs,

Rose can't expect us to just
sit around and do nothing.

- Okay, no one's going
behind your backs.

You're just being paranoid.

- She got a job at the
school to approach you.

So unethical.

Just... And I think the
school needs to know.

- No, please! You can't tell
them! She could lose her job!

- Well, she could do
with a wake-up call.

- If you go to the school,
I will never forgive you.

- Oh, come on, rose.
- I could lose her all over again!

- Stop! I cannot have
you two fighting, okay?

Can we please just...
Just slow everything down.

- Look, um...

There something I
need to tell you.

I didn't wanna have
to tell you this,

But I think you need to know.

When I picked up rose
all those years ago,

The adoption agency told me that
the birth mother was deemed unfit.

- What do you mean, unfit?

- She tried to suffocate rose.

- And you're just
now telling me this?

- I didn't want to upset rose.

But now, with the way
things are getting,

I think we all have to know.

I-I-I'm sorry, kiddo. Please!

(footsteps stomp away)

(door slams)

- Just... Don't.

(water splashing gently)

(dishes clanging)

Rose knows you weren't
trying to hurt her.

- She's been in bed all day.

- What did you expect?

- Shouldn't have said anything.

- Well, it's out now.

It's...

It's better that she knows.

- Is there something else?

- I found the adoption papers.

- Oh? What did they say?

Anything about the
birth mom's rights?

- Oh, nothing. They're
all over the place.

Illegible signatures, no names.

- Well, that's on them, not us.

- Why is it you always
find someone else to blame?

- Don't start.

- Maybe if we had
better communication,

We would not be in this
mess in the first place.

- You're the one
in charge of this!

- Oh, so this is my fault?

Okay, is there anything else
that you haven't told us?

Because hayley harming rose is kind
of a big deal, don't you think?

- Here we go, yeah, it
literally just adds.

If it thought it
would've helped anyone,

I would have... I would
have told someone.

(upbeat, happy music)

But I knew it would have
crushed you and rose.

(shaky exhale)

- What are we doing?

We cannot turn on each other.

I feel like we are playing
right into her hands.

- You think she's making a play?

- I don't know.

There is something
not right about her.

I know that much.

- At least we're agreed on that.

(chuckles under breath)

- I'm sorry for snapping.

(exhales)
- me too.

- Yeah, I said I'd go in today.

We're presenting to
head office on Monday.

(teary exhale)
- go. It's okay.

I'll stay with rose.

Oh, uh...

I got a call from
the adoption agency.

They said they found
something interesting for us,

So I'll go in on Monday.

- Wait, I thought I was supposed
to be dealing with them?

- It's okay. I got it.

- All right.

I love you. You know that.

- Love you too.

- Hey, keep me posted.

(tender music)

(exhales)

(exhales)

(elevator chimes)

- Hi, tina.

- Mrs. Miller,
thanks for coming in.

- Of course. Uh, your message
said that you found something.

- I did. After spending hours
trawling through the records,

I finally found your names.

You and your husband were
registered way back when,

But there's no record of you
being assigned a baby girl.

- So, there's no
mention of rose at all?

- None.

- Uh... I mean, well that...

That can't be. I mean, we
have, we have paperwork.

- I showed the
documents to my manager

And she believes
they've been forged.

- Okay, well what
does that mean?

- It means that rose
didn't come to you

Through our organization.

(worried exhale)

I looked into hayley
adams as well,

And her name doesn't
show up in our system.

So, I ran a background check
across all state registers.

An h. Adamson
and an h.G. Adams

Crop up a few times as an
alias for rachel jones.

- Okay, um...
Who's rachel jones?

- According to this, she is
quite an accomplished con woman.

Is this the woman
who approached you?

(ominous music)

I've reached out to
the police about this.

We had a security breach a few
weeks back, lost some data.

Maybe she had something
to do with it.

- Thank you.

- I'm sorry I couldn't
have been more help.

- Can I take this with me?

- Of course.

- Okay um... Thank you.

(button rattles)

- Hello!

Hey!

Did you go to school today?

- Couldn't face it.

- Sweetie...

Hey, you can't let this get
in the way of your studies.

You have finals coming up.

(sighs)

Look, hey, I'm sorry
about the other night.

I shouldn't have said anything.

- No, I wanna know.

It's okay.

- Listen, whatever happened
in the past is in the past.

What's important is
where you are now.

And you have a mom and dad
who love you very much.

- I know.

- Max? I've got
something to show you!

- What is it?

- Oh, hey!

Hi, honey. I didn't
see you there.

- So, are you two good?

- Good as gold.

(chuckles)

- Oh, mom, can we talk?

- Of course!

- I'll just...
- That's your cue.

- Yeah. (chuckles)

Hi.
- Hi.

(tender music)

I'm sorry for taking
things out on you.

- Hmm.

- I'm just really stressed.

- Come on.

(crying) it's okay.

And we should not have stormed into
hayley's house like that, either.

- I should've never gone
with her in the first place.

- Truce?

(chuckles)

How are you feeling about...

What your dad told you?

- What she did was wrong.

But she must have gone
through hell to do that.

- Look, I'm not judging.

I can't imagine having to
raise a baby on your own.

It's just, from what
I've seen, she's...

She just seems a bit erratic.

I don't know, I don't trust her.

I'm sorry, that's
just how I feel.

- I don't even know
how I feel anymore.

(shaky exhale)

- Don't worry.

We will figure this out, okay?

- How?

- Just trust me.

I got your back.

- Okay.

(tender music continues)

- Well, have a good day.

Mwah!
- You too.

- Oh, and hey, get home early.

I need you.
- Will do.

- Okay, bye.
- Bye.

(ominous music)

(envelope crinkles)

(engine starts)

- Hayley adams, mother.

(footsteps thump, approaching)

- Hey, mom.
- Hey.

- Thanks for letting me
cut class for a few days.

- I figured you needed it.

- I won't let her get
in the way of school.

From now on, hayley
is a no-go zone.

- Come here.

- I promise.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

- So, do you want
me to quiz you?

- Please.

(chuckles)
- let's do this.

- I don't know.

- Just makes it weird.

- Hey! Can we talk?

In private?

- Whatever you wanna
say, you can say it here.

- Okay.

I didn't really
understand your text.

What exactly did
your dad tell you?

(scoffs)

Look, if you need some
space, I totally understand,

But don't you think
I deserve to know

Why I'm suddenly
in the doghouse?

- I don't think you
deserve to know anything.

I'm sorry, I don't
wanna talk right now.

(footsteps thump away)

(sighs)

(phone buttons beeping)

(school bell rings)

- Hi, uh this is zara miller.

I ordered a dna
test from you and...

I'm just wondering how
accurate the results are?

Uh, you mentioned some
exceptions in the fine print.

So, if you could call me
back, that would be great.

(door clunks open)

- Hi.

- Hey!

So, I got a call from
the principal's office

And they wanna speak to me.
Any idea what that's about?

- News to me.

- Okay, well, I'll be
as quick as I can, okay?

- Okay.

(concerning music)

(blows raspberry)

- Ah, mrs. Miller,
please, take a seat.

My name is freya.

I work for social services,

And I am the school
liaison officer.

- Okay.

- You're already
familiar with miss adams?

- Hayley, please.

- Mm-hmm.
- Now, hayley's brought me up to speed

Regarding the delicate situation
that we find ourselves in

And I'm here to resolve
some issues with you guys

To mediate, if you will.

- We're very grateful.

- Rose's wellbeing is paramount

And she isn't being best served
with the two of you on a warpath.

- Agreed. Rose
always comes first.

- Well, the issue,
as we all know,

Is that you cannot accept
that I am rose's birth mother.

- Because you have just said
you're rose's birth mother.

It has not been confirmed.

- Yeah, what is
going on with that?

I got a text saying that the
results were on their way.

- I'm sure it will
be in a few days.

The real issue here is how
you have handled all of this.

Did the school know that hayley
is supposedly related to rose?

- Yes. Uh, when hayley applied
for the job, she made that clear.

- And why wasn't I informed?

- Well, I can't
speak for the school,

But I'm sure they
have a privacy policy.

Look, I can appreciate
that this news

Can't have been easy for
you, and I can understand

How hayley's
reappearance challenges

Your status as rose's
legal guardian and...

- I am her mother!

- But the two of you
need to work together

To agree on a way forward.

- Well, as soon as the
dna results come out,

Uh, rose has said that she
wants to live with me so,

That's a way forward.
- Excuse me?

- Oh, did rose not
mention that to you?

- Oh, hayley, you
have some nerve

Thinking that you could just...
- okay, okay.

- Come in here...
- timeout.

It has been brought
to my attention

That rose has missed a number
of days of school recently,

Which is concerning because her exams
are only right around the corner.

How has rose been in
your sessions with her?

- She's stressed.

Distracted.

Which is totally understandable,

Considering what
she's been through.

Her real mom coming
on the scene.

- Her real mother?

- Mrs. Miller, please,
you'll get your turn.

- What I'm most concerned about

Is I think that rose
is being manipulated.

I just got this text from her.

"my dad told me the truth."

I would love to know
what the truth is,

Considering it's
turned rose against me.

- Okay.

Okay, so that's... That's
why I was brought in?

And you really want me to say that out
loud in front of your friend, here?

- Please.

- All right. The reason rose
was taken away from hayley

Is because she was
deemed unfit as a mother.

- Oh my... What?

- You tried to suffocate
rose as a baby!

Or did she not
mention that part?

- Is this true?

- No! It is... It's
absolutely not true!

And it's slander.

- Of course, you would say that.

- Oh.
- Okay, please, both of you.

This is exactly what
I was talking about.

- Hayley, you just
need to come clean.

The only reason you got this
job was to approach my daughter.

- Hey, there are plenty of teachers
with children in this school.

What is your point?!
- Not teachers with criminal records.

- Ugh!

- Her name isn't
even hayley adams.

It's rachel jones.

- Hayley has been upfront with
the school about her past.

And under the education
code, only serious felonies

Disqualify you from
being a teacher.

And those offenses, as well
as being from years ago,

Are all misdemeanors,
not felonies.

- This is a school, not a rehab.

(scoffs)

- This is...

This is ridiculous.

I really don't appreciate you
two ambushing me like this.

- We're not ambushing
you, mrs. Miller.

Quite the reverse. I'm
suggesting therapy.

- I'm sorry, what?

- For both of you.

It's the only way that I can see

That this doesn't
escalate any further.

- I'm okay with that.

- Well, I am not.

Word of advice, do not come
between a mother and her child.

- Is that a threat?

(threatening swell)

- What was that all about?

(breathing shakily)

Okay.

- Hey!

- Hi.

- Is rose in bed?

- Yeah.

- It's a good thing
'cause we need to talk.

- Okay.

- The dna test results
came back positive.

- Okay.

Well, uh, we've had
some time to prepare.

- Oh no, there's more.

I found out the adoption
papers were forged,

So the adoption agency ran a
background check on hayley,

Or I should call her rachel.

She's a con woman.

- Why am I not surprised?

But we can use this, right?

- I'm definitely gonna
talk to a lawyer.

- Okay, this is all connected.

It has to be.

I mean, she could've
faked those results.

I mean, she has so much
access with rose at school.

- And if this is something
that she's done before,

Then she would know exactly
how to rig that test.

I mean, we've seen
where she lives.

She definitely has the money.

- Yeah, other people's money.

- Okay, so what? So...

She gets her claws into rose and
tries to extort money from us?

- Yeah, but we're on to her.

- God, I just...

Okay, let's... Let's
think about this.

- Yeah.

- Okay, if she has
faked the test results,

Well, we need to find that out.

But if she really is
rose's birth mother?

- Which I doubt.

- Well, her having a criminal
record doesn't change anything.

You know, we can't, we can't
come off as discriminatory.

- Why in the hell not?
- Because she could take us to court.

And apparently, I am on warning.

- I'm sorry... Say that again?

- Hayley says that her
suffocating rose is slander.

She wants rose to live with her and
she implied that rose is in favor.

- What? Where-where
did you hear this?

- Well, they called
me down to the school.

They're taking her
side in all of this.

- What? Unbelievable.

- Which is why we can't
just go to the police.

It's her word against ours,

And the way things are going,
they'll probably take her side.

- Oh, I...

I just... I mean, I-I can't...

Just the-the whole
system is at fault.

I mean, I-I don't know
if-if they're corrupt or...

- This is what she wants, right?

Okay, we can't
let her get to us.

- Yeah, you're right.

- Just tell me what
you want me to do.

(exhales)

Well, we need to
stay calm, okay?

We're gonna do this
by the book, okay?

I'm gonna contact a lawyer.

You're gonna see if you can
find any other paperwork.

Look, if she wants a fight,
we'll bring it to her.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay, I'll uh...

I'll go look through
some of my files.

- Okay.
- And if you need me,

I'll be at my office.
- Okay.

We got this.

- Yeah.

(tense music)

(music intensifying)

(car rumbles, approaching)

(screams)

(car thuds, hayley
crashes to ground)

(tires squeal away)

(flag flutters gently)

- Hey!

(exhales) how was your day?

- It was fine.

I just want things to go
back to normal, you know,

Pre hayley.

- Huh, no argument from me.

- And I've decided
that if we do argue,

It's just because
we love each other.

- Okay. What did you do?

- Nothing! (laughs)

Nothing.

It's just the grass isn't
always greener, you know?

- You know, yesterday,
in the office...

Hayley told me that you liked
the idea of living with her.

- She gave me her
keys to the place.

She wants me to spend
spring break with her.

I don't know how
I'm gonna choose.

- Honey, I would
never make you choose.

(exhales) you
know that, right?

- I just, I thought I
could move on, you know.

But I've been wanting to find
my birth mom for so long,

And if it's not her...

- So... (rose's phone buzzing)

Uh listen, there's something
I need to tell you.

(call beeps on)
- hello?

From where?

That's awful.

Uh... Yeah.

I'm on my way.

- What is it? (call beeps off)

- That was the hospital. Hayley
was hit by a car last night.

- Oh, my god!

- I'm down as next of kin.

We have to pick her up.

- Okay.

(seatbelts click)

Okay.

(engine starts)

(sirens wailing)

- Hayley!

- Rose? What are you doing here?

- What happened?

- I just... I um...

I was crossing the road.

They said it could've
been much worse.

- Are you family?

- Uh, we're here to
help her home, yes.

- I'll get started on
the discharge paperwork.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- Did you get a good
look at the car?

- No.

It all happened
really, really fast.

I take it she's
come here to gloat?

- I'm here to support rose.
- Guys, come on.

Please.

- Why don't you grab the car

And pull it around front, okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- I'll uh... I'll bring hayley through.

- Mm-hmm.

- I don't need your help.

- I'm not offering.

- You know, the police suspect
that this wasn't an accident.

- Rachel...

If I find out you
rigged this dna test,

I will make sure they put you
away for a very long time.

- And if I found out that you had
anything to do with this accident,

You'll go away for longer.

- Keep us posted.

Okay.

- So?

- Well, the lawyer
says we may have enough

To file a restraining
order against hayley.

- Boom.

- Well, it's not
a for sure thing.

And we just need to
make sure it sticks.

- And what about the dna tests?

- He said they'd be repeated
in person under court scrutiny.

- Good.
- Yeah, it's great.

And if the cops won't confront hayley
about her criminal records, I will.

- I-I don't think that
that's a good idea.

- Oh, don't worry.
I'll be firm, but fair.

- She needs to know you
won't take this lying down.

- Oh, I just... I just wish
we would've acted sooner.

I mean, I knew there was
something off from the beginning.

- You were amazing.

I'm proud of you.

And so is rose.

(sighs)

(footsteps thump away)

- I don't know, suse,

Am I doing the right thing?

(phone rings)

- Hello?

(tense music)

Yeah, this is she.

No, no, I'm sorry,

I'm the one that needs
the restraining order.

Hayley adams is a con artist.

Her real name is rachel jo...

Uh, that was the police.

- What did they say?

- Apparently I am the
number one suspect

In hayley's hit and run.

- I-I don't know what to say.

- I just need to know that
you are on my side in this.

- Uh... Of course, I am.

- Should I have gone with him?

I mean, what if
hayley does something?

I think I should go after him.

I just... I just don't want
him to do anything rash.

Can you stay with rose?

- Anything you need.

But keep your cool.

- Thank you.

- I'll call you, okay?

- Oh, wow!

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

It's cute.

(disturbing music)

(clicks tongue)

Hmm.

- What do you want?

- I think we could
both do with a drink.

- Go ahead.

(glasses clink)

- I heard about the accident.

Retaliation from
a previous mark?

- Just say what you came
here to say and leave.

- To rose.

- I'll drink to that.

To my daughter.

It's official now.

Haven't you heard?

- Dna tests can
be faked, rachel.

- My record's in the past.

- Yeah.

- If you wouldn't
have blocked me

When I first approached
you about rose,

We wouldn't be here right now.

- You never approached me.

- Oh, I did.

Your assistant kept telling
me how busy you were.

Forced me to go
to rose directly.

- Huh.

- That's on you.

(glass clunks on counter)
- hmm.

- You think it's fine
to drag a kid into this?

- You know, you can't bully me.

- I'm warning you, you've
gone too far with this.

Easy.

(glass clunks on counter)
(pills rattle in bottle)

Whoa, these are some
pretty strong painkillers.

Probably shouldn't be mixing.

- You should leave.

(sighs)

- Okay.

Yeah, I have no hard
feelings, rachel.

I just feel sorry for you.

- Hmm.

- You should see someone.

Seriously.

Oh, and um,

We've applied for a
restraining order.

You come within 50
feet of my family,

You'll be sorry.

(exhales shakily)

Toodeloo.

(winces then exhales)

(ominous music)

(♪♪)

- Hayley?

Hayley?

Hayley, you here?

(♪♪)

Hayley!

Hayley!

Oh, my god! Okay.

Oh, thank god.

Hayley, can you hear me?

- Zara?

(pants)
- hold on.

I'm calling an ambulance.

- Mom?

- Oh, honey.

You scared me.

- Susan said you
went to hayley's?

(sighs)

- Um, hayley is um...

Not in a great place right now.

But she's going to be just fine.

- I guess you didn't
really patch things up.

(exhales shakily)

- I am so sorry things
are such a mess.

Ugh, I feel like
this is all my fault.

- No.

Mom, don't say that.

(exhales heavily)

- We just tried so many times.

I never thought
I would be a mom.

So, when the...

Agency suddenly
called about you...

I was just so happy. I
didn't question anything.

(tender music)

- You never have to
feel guilty for that.

That means we found each other.

(sniffles)

- And I am so incredible
grateful for you every day.

So, no matter what happens,

I just want you to know that
I am always here for you.

I promise.

- I got you, too.

(sniffles)

(music turns ominous)

(ominous music)

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Where have you been?

- I just...

I went for a drive.

- Hmm.
- Just needed to clear my head.

- Hmm. Well, don't worry.

It's all sorted.

You won't be hearing
from hayley again.

(music intensifies)

(inhales and exhales deeply)

(plates clanging)

- Wow, to what do I owe this?

- Well, I figured I
could be more proactive.

But now, we can draw
a line under it.

- Hmm.

(sighs) you really
think it's over?

We can just move on?

- Yeah, trust me.

When I woke up this
morning, I could feel it.

Birds singing, sun's shining.

In fact, I think we should
move our vacation forward.

- Oh, really?

- What's this? Pancakes?

- Yeah, and the rest of it.

Your dad is talking
about vacations.

- Ah, but after your
exams, of course.

But yes, I think
we all deserve it.

- Hmm.
- Palm beach?

- Ah, I was thinking somewhere
really remote, like bali.

- Ooh! (zara's phone chimes)

- Can chloe come too?

(tense music)

- What is it?

- Uh... Hayley.

She wants to call a truce.

Tonight.

Um, she said she
wants to discuss

The future and make plans.

- Hmm.

- She wants all
three of us there.

(tense music continues)

- Thank you all for coming.

I just wanted to apologize.

I'm not usually
this much trouble.

But I think it's time that
we told rose the truth.

She deserves to know why
I had to give her up.

(music intensifying)

- Well, don't leave us
in suspense, hayley.

- Actually, I had
a question for max.

I wasn't feeling very
well after your visit.

I actually ended
up in the hospital.

Strangest thing.

They found ethylene
glycol in my blood.

That's a poison.

Any idea how that happened, max?

- Uh, I'm sorry, are
you saying that someone

Tried to hit you with
their car and then,

Also tried to poison you?

- Not someone, no. Max.

If you hadn't shown up when
you did, I'd probably be dead.

- What is she talking about?

- That drive I went on was
less about me clearing my head

And more about seeing
what she was up to.

- Unbelievable.
- Wait, I don't understand.

Why would my dad wanna kill you?
- He didn't.

Honey, we cannot believe a
word this woman is saying.

The adoption agency
looked into our case

And they found that
she has a rap sheet.

She is a con woman.

Her real name is rachel jones.

- It's true.

I had a complicated past.

Not always on the
right side of the law.

- Hmm.
- But when I got pregnant with you, rose,

I wanted you to
have a better life.

- I wanna know everything.

- Hayley, just please tell me.

- Rose, your father and I...

- You really wanna
go down this road?

- Dad, stop!

- This may come as
a surprise to you,

But when I was younger, I...

Was an exotic dancer.

- Huh, of course.

- That's where I
met your father.

- Rachel! I'm warning you.

- He was my very best client.

And when rose was born...

He bought you to complete
his precious family.

- That is a lie!
- It's the truth.

- Max?
- You need help.

We're leaving, now!
- Oh, don't take my word for it.

Max, why don't you
do a dna test, huh?

Rose, do you wanna find out
who your birth father is?

(breathing shakily) I'm sorry.

Hey, I have been
trying to find you

And your dad has been
preventing me your whole life!

- Okay, we're going. Come
on! We'll see you in court.

- You are sick!
- I'm sick? What does that make your husband?

- Mom, is this true?

- I don't...

(scoffs)
- oh.

- Rose!

- You really didn't
know. (door clicks open)

I always thought
you were part of it.

- No, honey...

(ominous music)

(door slams shut)

You're a dead woman.

(footsteps thump unevenly)

- I'm not scared of you anymore.

(door clicks open) - c-come
on, z, hey, please forgive me.

- Just stop it!

Could you just be
honest for once?

- Yeah, a-anything.
- Was it you?

A-all of it, the...

The adoption papers, hayley
suffocating rose, the hit and run!

- Sweetie, please.
- No, get off of me!

- Hey! Rose...

(footsteps stomp away)
you've gotta understand.

You wanted a kid so badly.

- Ah! No!

- I did this for you.

- This was for me?

- Yes! I would've done
anything for this family.

Now, I realize I didn't
do it the right way...

- Oh, you realize that now.

- Look, if she gets to
the cops, it's over.

- If you go after her, then it's
really over 'cause we are through.

- Z!

I have to stop her.

Hey.

(footsteps run away)

(tense energetic music)

(panting)

(indistinct shouting)

(tense, energetic music)

- Rose?

(indistinct chatter)

Rose!

Rose!

(music intensifies)

- Rose? Where are you?

Ha.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Rose!

(gunshot blasts)

- Wah! Oh... (crowd
cheers and applauds)

Rose!

Rose, where are you?!

(panting)

(phone beeps)

- Ah! (muffled panting)

- Shh! Shh!

- Oh, my god.

- You gotta be quiet,
okay? He's looking for you.

- Come on, rach.

I just wanna talk.

Settle this like adults.

(pants)

Hey.

- Dad?

- Honey, would you mind
giving us a minute?

(gun rattles)
- I'm not going anywhere.

- Kiddo, I don't
want you to get hurt.

- Rose.
- Oh, right.

You just wanna hurt my
birth mom, is that it?

- She's not your mom!

(panting angrily)

(gun rattles then pops) ah!

(grunting)

- Stop!
- No!

- Stop! Max, look at
me! Don't do this.

- Everything was perfect
until she showed up.

- You wouldn't have your
family if I didn't exist.

- Hayley, you're not helping.

Max...

(babbles) - max, baby.
- Yeah.

- Put the gun down.
Just the gun down.

We could just all talk.

- What does it matter? The
truth can die with her.

- You didn't have to do this.

We could've just waited.

We could've just been patient!

- Patient?

No, the agency was a joke!

They-they wouldn't
even take a bribe.

- No!
- Rose is our daughter,

My flesh and blood.

Rachel is bad for her anyway.

(cocks gun) let me
just end this now.

(sobbing)
- don't you understand?

I will never forgive
you for this.

- Then, I guess I have
nothing else to... To lose.

(grunts) (board
thwaps heavily)

- Oh! (grunts)

- No! No!
- Wait, mom!

Mom, stop him, he's hurting her!

- Max, stop! (gunshot cracks)

- Are you crazy?!

- This is over! This is over.

Max, I am giving you one last
chance to do the right thing.

- Okay. Okay, fine.

Fine.

Hey... Take it easy.

- Are you okay?
- No, no, it's okay.

- I'm sorry.

- Ah! Get off me!!

- Oh! (grunts)

(shovel thuds heavily)
- ah!

- Max!

(grunts loudly)

(gunshot cracks)

(exhales shocked)

(all panting)

(panting)

(cries)

(sobbing) oh, god.

(sirens wailing)

(police radio chatter)

(gentle music)

(engine starts)

(indistinct chatter)

(♪♪)

(indistinct chatter)

- Here you go.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

Hmm, thank you so
much for including me.

- Of course! We should try and put
everything behind us, for rose.

- I'm just so grateful that you were able
to be there for rose when I couldn't.

You have raised such
an amazing person.

- Well, thank you so
much for saying that.

That means so much
to me. (chuckles)

- Ooh, talking about me?

(both): Always.

(chuckle)

- Oh, um, I actually
got you something.

Give it to you before I forget.

(tender music)

You probably already
know what it is.

(chuckles)

(charm rattles)

- It's a graduation
hat for the bracelet.

- I love it. - Sweet.
- Thank you.

- You know, I am just...

I'm so proud of you.

You know, you have
been through so much

And you have grown
into such a strong,

Smart, and capable young woman.

- Mom, you're gonna make me cry.

- Well, I'm sorry, I just um...

I just love you so much and...

We... Love you so much.

- And we are gonna miss you
when you go away to college.

- So, if you could fit us into
your schedule from time to time,

You know, that would be great.

- Sure. (giggles)

I'll take turns giving
you both my laundry.

- Oh!
- So generous.

Well, that means you, too.

(laughs)
