Charlotte.

I don't know if you can hear me.

It's Michelle.

Hey, honey.

My assistant made us another casserole.

Annie is so sweet.

Yeah, everybody at the office keeps asking about Charlotte's fall, and

wondering how we're managing without our nanny.

Did you go to the hospital and visit her today?

Yeah, still no changes.

I talked to her doctor again, and he said the chances of her waking up from

coma are unpredictable.

That's terrible.

What's going on here?

Lucy forgot to pack love. She got invited to a last -minute sleepover at

Natasha's house.

Mrs. Benson is a lifesaver.

I'm going to drop it off on my way to your dad's.

Listen, I'm...

I'm really not in the mood to go to that party tonight.

You go every year.

Yeah, and Dad put off my promotion again, so there's that.

No. Well,

I'm so sorry. I have given so much to my dad and Clark Real Estate, and he

promised me executive vice president. He said it was going to happen.

Do you think it could have anything to do with your meeting from last week?

The one with Gabe Huntley?

Really, Michelle?

You admitted to messing up that presentation.

That was one client meeting.

I'm just saying, he might be worried that it'll happen again.

Okay.

Anyway.

I called Gabe, and I convinced him to hear my pitch again, so I'm going to

him for a drink later.

And that's your dad.

He got head out.

I hope it goes well, and I'm sorry I'm not going to be there.

That's all right.

I'm glad you're getting another shot with Gabe.

You better hurry.

You don't want to keep my dad waiting.

See you later.

Goodbye.

Gabe, how are you?

Oh, no, that's okay.

Oh, of course.

Yeah, family comes first. Right.

Okay, well, I'll just call you on Monday to reschedule.

Right, okay.

Bye -bye.

minutes is all the guests arrive beautiful beautiful great job beautiful

looks great please make sure that there are no empty glasses in hands tonight

thank you

better

not happen not happen but uh could have another drink the usual yeah

got it

Daddy's here.

And he's alone.

Smells good in here.

And the house looks amazing.

Your staff did a wonderful job setting it up.

Thanks. Any luck finding a temporary nanny? You've got quite a bit on your

plate. Uh, not yet. We're on a bunch of wait lists.

Has Charlotte's condition changed?

No.

But, um, we're just praying for a miracle.

I'll have what he's having.

I'm going

to

take some getting used to.

You look like you've had a bad day.

A bit obvious, huh?

You want to talk about it?

No, not really. I think I'd rather forget about it.

I could help with that.

I'm not one for drinking alone, anyway.

I just got your message.

I'm sorry about your meeting, but you'll get another chance with Gabe. Don't

worry.

Call me when you can.

I think it's safe to say I'm a burping girl now.

Yeah, I think so. And it didn't take very long either.

Look at that smile.

It's like your day is turning around.

I think I should get going.

Nice to meet you.

Melissa.

What are you doing?

You left in such a hurry.

I didn't have a chance to thank you for the drink.

I'm not sure it's a good idea.

You're not leaving already.

Yeah, I want to go home and be with Will.

He's not answering any of my calls, and he's not in a good headspace right now.

Well, I thought he might take the news hard.

But it was the right thing to do.

Why did you back out of the promotion?

Look, it's not as simple as you might think.

Well, Gabe's account's not the only mistake he's made lately. Because he's

overworked. Richard, he's trying so hard to impress you, but he's burning out.

It's the nature of the job.

Well,

my staff can manage here without me for the night.

I'm going to go.

Where have you been?

I just stayed at the Blue Peak for a bit.

I tried calling you.

Phone died.

So you just drank all night by yourself?

Yeah.

Might have had one too many.

Well, this isn't like you.

I get that you're disappointed, but... I know.

Sorry. It's stupid.

I guess he needed to blow off some steam.

I'm going to grab a shower before I go to bed.

Okay.

I'll be up soon.

Do you like my drawing?

Let me see.

You did that? No way.

You're natural.

I'm ready for the pipe, Mom.

All right. Go get your shoes on and we'll go.

Hey. Hey.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You feeling better?

A little bit.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry about everything. Hey, you already apologized last night. It's

okay.

And I didn't even ask you about Dad's party. How did it go?

Really well.

Plus, one of Richard's friends hired me to plan his daughter's graduation party.

It's going to be tight, but I can pull it off.

Yeah, of course you can.

Because you're amazing.

Because I'm amazing.

Yeah, you are.

Ready. Okay, I'm just going to finish up the dishes and then we'll go, okay?

No, no, you girls go to the park. I'll do the dishes.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah.

I gotta go get the car. Anyway.

Hey, kiddo.

What would you like for dinner?

Waffles.

Waffles? Again.

Uh, what are those on your feet?

Those are special for Grandpa's party.

Go change.

Fine.

Fine.

You sure you don't want to come?

Um... I think I just need to...

Clear my head if that's okay. Of course, yeah.

Hey, you'll get executive vice president.

And I'll be here to support you when you do.

Is that the new Ava and Clark Adventures?

It is.

I bought it yesterday, and I cannot put it down.

We love those books, too.

Do you have kids?

No. I just got really into the fairies when I worked as a nanny.

Mom, we need to go buy the new book.

I'm Melissa, by the way. Pleasure to meet you. I'm Michelle, and this is my

daughter, Lucy.

Wait. I'm sorry, did you say that you're a nanny?

This might be a long shot, but are you available by any chance?

We are desperate for a living nanny.

Well, yeah, I'm actually looking for work.

What are the chances?

Okay, great.

Why don't you send me your references, and if it all works out, we can discuss

the job in more detail.

Great.

Bye. Bye.

Lucy's all tucked in.

Great. Thank you.

She's been so tough, but I can tell how sad she is not having Charlotte around.

Well, hopefully this new nanny you found works out.

Yeah, I checked two of her references and gave her a call.

She seems perfect.

Great timing.

Now I don't have to worry about going to this conference tomorrow.

But if you need me, call.

I'll come back anytime.

You're sweet.

We'll be all right. Just focus on work.

I'll miss you.

Yeah, I'll miss you too.

Melissa! Hi, I'm so happy to see you.

Lucy's just playing at a friend's house, so you'll have some time to settle in

before she's home, okay?

That's great. Why don't I show you to your room?

This is Charlotte's room.

She's been our nanny since Lucy was a baby.

She's like family.

You mentioned she was in an accident?

What happened?

She took a nasty fall and she's in a coma.

It's awful.

Lucy's still very attached to Charlotte, so it might take her a little bit of

time to warm up.

That's completely understandable.

And this is you.

Take all the time you need to get set up. I'm working from home all day, but

I've left some lists and instructions for you in the kitchen. Thanks,

Don't worry.

I'll be in my office if you need anything.

Lucy, remember I told you that Melissa was starting today?

She set up a craft for you. Do you want to go look?

Hi, Lucy.

Those are cool.

So you're going to live with us until Charlotte wakes up?

That's right.

I thought we could make her some get well cards. What do you think?

Sound like fun?

Yeah, awesome.

I like these ones the best. Those?

Me too.

Look, Mom.

I can't wait to get started.

Ooh, that's pretty.

Mom, look what I made with Melissa.

Wow. Oh, that looks so nice.

Charlotte is going to love it. I'll drop it off for her.

Help me pick out a color for Grandpa's birthday this weekend.

Green, because Grandpa and Dad love golfing.

What would I do without you?

So smart.

I miss Dad.

Yeah, me too.

But only one more sleep until he's home.

Hello?

Hi.

Hey, kiddo.

Hi.

Wonderful surprise.

Oh, my goodness. What are you doing here?

Yeah, I decided to drive home early.

Missed my girls too much to stay another night.

Oh, my goodness. Well, listen, I want you to meet Melissa. She's already been

such a great help.

Melissa?

Come, I want you to meet my husband, Will.

to meet you, Melissa.

Hey, are you feeling okay?

Maybe something I ate.

Let me get my stuff and just get some air, okay?

I think I'm going to head to bed early and give you all some family time.

Yes, okay.

Nightmare.

My mom's really sick. Well, she's three months behind on rent.

And if I don't get the money by Friday, I'm going to have to evict her. I swear

I'll get you the money. I just need some more time.

Please, let us stay. I'll do anything.

You know I manage a few retirement homes.

I can give your mom a room.

I can't afford it. I can cover the cost of her medication.

I mean, you need my help, right?

Yes, but that's too much. I don't have the money to pay you back. I'll cover

cost of Brent.

And I will take care of your mother.

I just need a small favor from you.

What kind of favor?

Don't worry.

I'll let you know.

Somebody there?

What the hell are you doing?

I... You don't have to whisper.

There's nobody here.

Michelle's driving Lucy to school.

I am so sorry.

What are you doing in my house?

I had no idea this was your house, I swear.

By the time I found out, I was already moved in.

Well, now it's time for you to move out.

I can't have you in my home.

I'm still trying to figure out how I tell Michelle what happened. I can't do

that with you here. The longer I wait, the worse this is going to be, so... My

mom is sick.

And her medication's expensive.

You need a nanny, and I'm a really good one. Okay, okay. What is this?

Are you trying to break up my marriage?

No.

Not at all. Can't we just pretend the night at the bar didn't happen?

I really care about Michelle and Lucy.

Please let me stay. I am desperate for the money.

Please, Will.

Two weeks.

I'll give you two weeks to find a new job.

And then you're gone.

What's going on? Get her out of here. I don't want anybody in this room. I'm so

sorry. I've tried to calm her. It's okay. I'll take care of her. Thank you.

The nightmares, they feel so real.

Someone is watching me. You're still having the nightmares?

Yes. Ever since I woke up to somebody in my room, I can't sleep.

I've already asked the nurses to keep a special eye on you. They said no one's

been in your room after hours. That's not true.

I'm not safe here, Melissa.

I heard a man's voice over in that corner over there.

Okay, let me hear you say something.

I'm

happy

we got to see Charlotte today after shopping.

She looks like she was sleeping.

Yeah, she's just getting the rest she needs so that she can get better.

Why don't you take your dress upstairs, start getting ready, and guess what?

Now you can wear those fancy new shoes.

Yeah.

Lucy, you look so beautiful.

I'm a princess.

Mom, we should have bought Melissa shopping, too.

Your dress is lovely.

But I do have an idea.

Here.

Come with me.

Okay.

Take a pic.

Oh, these are amazing, but I couldn't.

Of course you can. Well, which one do you think suits you better, the light

green or the floral?

Um... Floral, I think.

Michelle.

Of course I came. I wouldn't miss this. Look how big you've got. I swear, every

time I see you, you have grown a foot.

Melissa, I'd like to introduce you to someone. This is Carlton.

Melissa, hi.

It is so good to finally meet you. I've heard so many nice things.

I feel like we're already close friends.

There he is.

Hey.

I'll be right back. Are you sure you're going to make it or not this year? Yeah,

I figured I'd make an appearance. Get to spend some time with my big brother.

Mm -hmm. Right.

Yeah.

Carlton, my boy.

Good to see you, Dad. Happy birthday.

Hey. Melissa.

Assume things are going well with the retirement homes. Tell us everything.

Everything's going well, like I said.

Nothing new to report.

But I've been thinking.

Maybe it's time I come back to the office.

I've had some room to grow.

I'm ready.

Well, you're well on your way to building back my trust, but we're not

there yet.

If it's going so well over there, maybe we should start thinking about some

growth opportunities.

Maybe your time is best invested at those retirement homes right now.

Excellent idea, Will.

We'll make sure to discuss at the next board meeting, huh?

Okay.

Honey, the Jeffersons are here.

Lovely. Let's all go say hello.

We'll catch up later, son.

Will is your brother?

You could have mentioned that.

What difference does it make?

They're using me to get back at your family and making me seduce Will and

into his house. It's so messed up.

Nothing has changed.

They don't even notice me.

They're good people.

What's the update with Charlotte?

Nothing's changed. She's not expected to recover.

And you?

Have you done what I've asked?

Did you find Richard's house keys or the alarm code?

No, but I haven't had much time alone in the house. Michelle's always working

from home.

You need to try harder.

I need the keys.

I need the code.

Tell me what you're up to. Do you need more motivation from me?

Don't you think your mom has been through enough?

Don't forget our deal.

I do not want to hurt your mom.

So don't push me.

Thank you, Michelle. Tonight was great.

Well... I should go check on my servers and make sure they have instructions for

tidying up.

It's a wonderful party.

Thanks for having me.

It's good to see you again, Rochelle.

Good night, Carlton.

Good night.

Busy day tomorrow.

I have noticed your efforts to improve.

You've... Come a long way.

Well, thanks, Dad.

When can we sit down and talk about my future at the company?

Soon. I've got dinner meetings all week, so it'll have to wait.

get a chance to talk to Carlton at all?

No, not really.

I'm surprised he even showed up, to be honest.

He's been pretty stable for the last few years.

Maybe he deserves a second chance.

Dad put him in those retirement homes to keep him out of the office and away

from the deals that we're doing.

I gotta try to keep it that way.

You two used to be so close. Yeah, that's before we started blackmailing

clients.

He's my kid brother.

But I'm just over hoping he's ever going to change because he won't.

All he ever does is disappoint.

Huh? Where?

Carlton.

You have something for me.

Don't you dare hurt my mom. You swore you wouldn't touch her.

She won't be fine as long as you've held up your sign at the bar.

I'm done.

I'm moving out of Michelle and Will's house now.

Not yet. I did everything you asked. You said that's all you needed.

Just a little bit more time, okay? Just a little bit more patience.

I'll see you soon, Melissa.

Carlton, wait.

Good night.

What are you going to do?

So I got the pills.

Thanks. Now, you mentioned that there could be complications if the patient

is on blood thinners.

It can be fatal.

Yes, I will be careful.

Carol, what are you doing with my medication?

Bad.

You were supposed to be at a dinner party. I'm feeling under the weather, so

postponed. How did you get into my house?

I have my ways.

Why are you acting like this?

You know why.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you gave control of the company to Will.

I hacked your emails.

You've always favored him. He's never given me any trouble, Carl, and that's

difference between the two of you.

I knew when I was very young that you loved him more than me.

You know, we'd take him on hunting trips and to business dinners.

And you'd brag about him to your friends.

And where do you think that left me?

I've done nothing horrible enough to deserve a home invasion in the middle of

the night.

I did my best to be a good father. You stopped being my father years ago.

You never bothered to get to know me. Carl, you moved out and stopped taking

calls. What was I supposed to do, hmm?

And as for the company, Will is the clear choice.

Plus, he's a family man.

Family man?

That family man is sleeping with the nanny!

Michelle was falling for me in college and you stood by and you did nothing

Will swooped in and he stole her from me. Admit it! Enough of this, Carlton.

can you be so ungrateful?

Get out of my house.

Now!

Before I call...

Good morning.

Do we have to get up?

I could stay in this bed forever.

That'd be nice.

But my dad will have my head if I'm late.

Well, maybe I could convince you otherwise.

Oh, yeah? Mm -hmm.

7 .30 in the morning. Yeah, I know.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Will Clark.

What?

Oh, my God.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, I'll be right there.

What is it? What happened?

It's my dad.

The housekeeper found him.

He's dead.

What's the

matter?

It's Richard.

He's dead.

Stay loose.

Today was a hard day, huh?

Do you believe in heaven?

Yeah, I do.

My dad's there. He's been looking over me for a while now.

Your dad is in heaven?

He could throw my grandpa out.

He'd love that.

Come here.

You've reached Carlton.

Leave me a message.

Carlton, you can't just avoid my calls.

Your dad is dead.

You've gone too far. You need to call me back.

wrong? Nothing.

It's nothing.

Lucy told me that you lost your father too.

This must be bringing it all back for you.

Okay. Why don't we play hockey today?

I mean, I can't focus on work anyway.

We'll go for a walk. The fresh air will be nice.

Carlton. Michelle.

How are you holding up?

Hanging in there.

Can we meet? No, it isn't really a good time. No worries.

I'll try Will in the meantime.

Okay. Call me if you need anything.

Thanks, Michelle.

We'll talk soon.

This was Richard's favorite trail.

I already miss him so much.

Will is devastated.

He's trying so hard to be strong.

I'm sure it helps having his brother close by with the grief. They can lean

each other.

Will and Carlton have never really gotten along well.

I've never really been able to rely on him.

Are you close with him?

No.

Not at all.

I really shouldn't be talking about any of this.

It's okay.

We've been gone for a while. We should probably get back.

Your portfolio is amazing.

Thank you.

I've always been a nanny, but I thought about making a transition into event

planning. Oh, the job can be very rewarding. Have you looked into any

programs? Yeah, there was one in New York I thought about applying for,

Then my mom got her diagnosis and the bills started piling up, so I had to

my nannying job to take care of her.

She's my priority now.

I could never leave the city with her this sick.

I'm so sorry.

But supporting your mother must be incredibly difficult.

She's my best friend. I'd do anything for her.

Michelle Burke speaking.

Yes. Yes, I am.

Really?

Oh, my God.

Yes, thank you so much for calling.

I'll be right over.

Charlotte, the doctor says she's showing signs of early responsiveness.

Well, so what does that mean exactly?

I don't have all the details, but it's good news.

I need to get to the hospital.

Hi, this is Melissa Juneau. I was calling to see if you had any rooms

Of course. For a parent? For my mom, Madison Juneau. She has a severe heart

condition. Sorry to hear that.

She's at Sunset River Retirement right now, but I was hoping to have her

transferred as soon as possible. Okay.

Carlton, this footage, this isn't legal. I have to report you.

No need, because the board is already aware that we monitor certain residents.

We can discuss this more in the morning.

You should probably go.

You're home late.

Yeah.

The office is a wreck right now.

Trying to get all of Dad's paperwork in order.

And, of course, Carlton's nowhere to be found.

He's not returning my calls.

I'm sorry. Well, that's really unfair.

Yeah.

Anyway, enough of all that.

How are you?

I'm all right.

It was great seeing some changes in Charlotte today.

It's like she's slowly coming back to us.

It's unbelievable.

It's a miracle.

Yeah. I spent some time with Melissa today.

She's really lovely.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

We're all a bit of a mess right now, so I thought going on a nice nature walk

would help.

I enjoy her company.

She's kind of more like a friend than a nanny.

Mom?

What's happening?

Alyssa, a woman was killed in the parking lot last night. A nurse that

here.

Carlton came by himself to tell the residents and reassure them. A nurse was

killed? It was such a shame. But I just wanted to check on your mother here and

make sure everything was all right.

But unfortunately, I have a very important meeting to attend to, so I'll

two catch up, and I will see you soon, Madison.

Thank you.

Absolutely. Bye.

Just a minute.

Carlton, what are you doing in my mom's room?

You really think you can talk to another retirement home and I won't hear?

Carlton, I was only... Did you ever meet Penny?

She stayed in the room next to your mother. She was a happy, wonderful, and

healthy old lady.

And then one day, her heart stopped.

Stay away from my mom. Try transferring her again and something bad is going to

happen. But Will is making me move out. He's telling Michelle the whole truth.

And with Charlotte getting better, there's no reason for me to be there

Don't listen to Will.

Just stay in the house.

Trust me.

What do you think you're doing?

How did you know I was here?

Let's just say I'm always watching.

These are your mom's heart pills.

Without them, she'll die.

Now I really hope I get back to her in time or am I going to be stuck here

babysitting you?

Get back in your car and leave.

What, you couldn't wait for me?

Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you.

Do you know how much paperwork there is that I've had to organize?

Okay, I'm all set.

The will of Richard Clark. Are you boys ready?

What are you doing here?

This is where my mom's staying. I came to visit after dropping Lucy at school.

Your mom? She's here.

Are you visiting someone?

No. Well, yes.

My company plans an annual event for the residents here. I'm just stopping in to

go over some plans. I have to run, but I will see you at home.

Yeah.

Thank you, Martin.

Sorry again for your loss.

Richard was a great man.

He'll be missed.

That was tough.

Never think a day like that is going to come so soon, you know, to just...

Hit you.

It's like Dad said, though, right?

There's a challenge.

You've got to push through.

Spoken like a true CEO.

Congratulations.

Carlin, you're second in line behind me.

You know I'm going to respect his wishes.

You're never going to give it up.

We both know that.

Right. You know something?

I'm tired.

I think it's best that we talk about this another time.

You know, you really ought to be more careful.

You're the face of the company.

We can't afford any scandals.

What does that mean?

Come on.

I've seen the way you look at the new nanny.

Excuse me?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I bet.

Hey, Dad.

Melissa ran into a movie. Want to watch with us?

Oh, honey, Dad has to...

Beauty, please.

Sure.

Dad, come sit beside me.

Okay.

All right.

Are we ready?

Hey, Alyssa, where's your popcorn?

Uh, I forgot it in the kitchen.

I'll be right back.

She wanted a movie night for a while, so I thought I'd... She find a job yet?

Not yet, but I've been a bit distracted.

Okay, well, I'm telling Michelle tomorrow.

Lucy's going to be at a friend's. They'll give you time to pack up. You

be here when she knows the truth. Do you understand?

Tomorrow? Yes.

Now I'm ready.

All right.

Yeah, I couldn't figure that out.

Oh, yeah, see, there's... Hey, Mom.

Don't you all look cozy?

Hey, hon.

Lucy wanted me to watch a movie, so there I am.

We were about to start.

Come sit.

We need a bigger couch.

Yeah.

Take my spot. I'll be fine over there.

Hey. There you go. Thank you.

All right.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Michelle, there's something important I need to tell you.

What is it?

I think it's better if we talk in person.

Can you meet at Baker Lane Park later?

Like, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

Sure. I'll meet you at 4 or 3.

Great.

Good to see you.

What's this about, Carlton?

Look, I have something really important that I need to tell you.

This is very hard for me, but I know it's the right thing to do.

So just know that I'm here for you.

You're scaring me.

Look, maybe you'd want to talk at my place where it's more private. No,

not necessary.

What's going on?

Okay.

Please sit.

It's about Will.

What about him?

He's hiding something from you.

Michelle, I'm sorry. He's having an affair.

I know my husband. He would never do that to me.

He's sleeping with Melissa.

You're lying.

Wish I was.

But it's the truth.

Look, Will has never been good for you.

Okay? He's just never been... What is this?

My friend is a bartender at the Blue Peak Bistro. He saw them go out back.

He sent me these photos.

I am so sorry.

I can't believe that I've been so stupid.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I have to go.

Okay.

Look, if you need to get away, you're more than welcome to stay at my place.

Anything you need.

I just dropped Lucy at her friend's house.

Okay, thank you.

Are you all packed up?

Not yet.

Maybe I can stay at... No, no, no, I'm sorry. This is the way it has to be.

Lucy needs me right now. I can't just leave.

Michelle and I will take care of Lucy.

Okay? Charlotte is improving.

We hope to have her back any day.

So, it's time. You have to go.

I just wanted to give her a proper goodbye.

I'm going to miss her.

I'm really sorry about everything. I've been blaming you this whole time.

But it's on me.

All of it.

Well, there's, um... There's something you should know.

Get your hands off of her.

Honey, what's wrong? Don't.

Don't come anywhere near me. Michelle. Melissa, you're fired. Get out of my

house. All right, listen to me. I can explain.

What are these?

Wouldn't have believed it myself.

What are the photos?

How long have you two been sleeping with each other? Michelle, I never wanted

you to find out like this. I was forced. Melissa, I told you you're fired.

Pack your bags and get out. Michelle, you don't understand. Now!

I don't know who took these photos.

Someone's trying to set me up. How could you?

How could you?

Okay.

It happened before she ever moved in here. It was the night that I found out

didn't get promoted. I drank too much. You two have been lying to me this

time. No.

Have you been fooling around?

No. In this house?

Never.

Never in this house. It didn't happen again.

I can't believe you.

Michelle. It was just once. It meant nothing.

Leave me alone.

Please.

Just listen to what I have to say.

Okay,

this cannot be a coincidence.

Someone takes those photos and she just happens to become our nanny? This is not

what it looks like at all. It's exactly what it looks like. And you let her into

our home.

Michelle, I know I did something awful. I know.

I love you more than anything. Please don't leave. We can work this out.

I'm not leaving.

You are.

Hey,

what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at Natasha's house.

I forgot that.

So Miss Benson told me to pick her up.

I have to take care of my mother, so I have to move out.

Come here.

I'm so single.

Oh, wait.

Please, let me stay here with you and Lucy. We'll talk about it. We can work

things out. Absolutely not, please. I don't want you gone.

Michelle.

Um, I thought you were, I thought you were going to skip over.

I forgot, love.

Natasha's mom is waiting in the car. Oh, you really, really shouldn't, shouldn't

keep her waiting then.

Why are you packing?

Oh, your dad had to go on a business trip.

Yeah.

Yeah, kiddo.

But dad will be back soon, okay?

Come on, man. I'll take you out to the car.

You planned this the whole time, didn't you?

Just tell me why.

I never meant to hurt anyone.

I care about your family so much.

I never should have let you stay in my house.

Michelle fired me.

There was nothing I could do, Carlton.

Please.

Please don't punish my mom for this.

No. No, no, no. Your mom is safe.

Come in. Come in, please.

You've done perfectly through this.

You're almost out of this thing.

You wanted Michelle to find out?

Eddie thinks he got the photos.

I needed Michelle to see Will for who he truly is.

A liar and a cheat.

This was your plan all along to ruin their marriage.

Do you hate your brother that much?

He showed her his true colors.

And now, she will never take him back.

This is all about Michelle.

You're still in love with her, aren't you?

to figure out what to do with Will now.

Clark Real Estate.

You want the company. I want it all.

And you are going to be staying here until this whole thing blows over. I

to see my mom. No, not yet.

In fact, I can't have you talking to anybody, so I'm going to need your

Your phone.

Now me and you are gonna go and get your bags.

You're up.

Leave me outside.

You

said

Michelle kicked Will out.

Knowing him, he's probably hiding at Dad's country house.

So I will confront him there.

But the element of surprise would be so much better.

I have one more favor to ask of you.

No way.

I've done enough.

How would you like me to pay for a live -in nurse for your mom so you get to

spend every day with her?

You want the key to Richard's country house, don't you?

It's the last thing I'll ask of you.

I don't want you to pay for a private nurse. I want the money so I can do it

myself.

Done.

You know what the key is?

You have some nerve showing up here.

Haven't you caused enough damage already?

I know this looks bad.

Please believe me when I tell you that there's more to the story. Go home,

Melissa. Carlton is behind all of this.

You have ten minutes.

I never thought things would go this far.

But I can't keep it in anymore.

Carlton has been behind everything from the start.

I was forced to seduce Will.

He said no at first, but he was drunk and I kept pressuring him.

I didn't know he was married.

But why?

It doesn't make sense. How do you even know Carlton? He owns the house.

I live in with my mom. I had to move in to keep up with medical expenses, but

everything was piling up and things got really bad.

And then Carlton showed up and offered to help.

I just had no idea what I agreed to.

There's no excuse for what you've done.

I know.

I know.

But he was blackmailing me.

He has complete control over my mom's treatment.

He threatened to kill her if I didn't do everything he said. I had to protect

her. You should have gone to the police right away.

None of this had to happen.

I tried to go to the police, but he caught me. He is always one step ahead

me.

I think he might have attacked Charlotte.

That's all could have killed her.

I'm... I'm sure he had something to do with Richard's death, too.

How would you say that?

He asked me to get a copy of Richard's house key.

Oh, my God.

How could you?

I'm so sorry, Michelle.

I had no idea what he was planning.

We have to go to the police right now before he can hurt anyone else. They

listen to us without evidence, and it'll only make Carlton more angry.

We need to find another way. Well, then we have to think of something quick.

Why would he do all of this?

He never admitted it.

But it's clear he wants you to leave Will, and he wants Clark's real estate

himself.

This is really bad.

Carlton's a monster.

He's so dangerous, Michelle.

I don't know. You need to run away or go into hiding.

I refuse to run or live in fear for the rest of my life.

I have an idea of how to stop him, but I'll need your help.

Yeah, it's me.

Just calling to see how you're doing.

Look, I know things seem impossible, but you are going to get through this,

Michelle.

Have to work late tonight.

Well, you can call me if you need anything.

I'm here for you.

What are you going to do exactly?

That is none of your concern.

It is between me and Will now.

I really want to talk to my mom. Can I have my phone back?

I already told you no.

Get your jacket.

You're coming with me.

i'd rather stay out of it you are already in too deep go

Let's go.

What are you going to do to me?

Nothing.

You're just leverage.

Are you going to hurt him?

What does it matter to you?

What, did you fall for him?

He's your brother.

That man is no brother of mine.

Carlton, please.

Think of Lucy.

She deserves a father.

This is not the time to get sentimental.

Now let's go.

What are you doing here?

Hello, Will.

What the hell's going on?

I thought we could talk.

Why is she here?

I came here to show you that I finally have the upper hand.

While I've been pulling the strings, Melissa here has been the star of the

I'm sorry.

All right.

Look, I know you took those photos.

And I know that you showed them to Michelle. I just don't know why you

that to me.

You cheat on your wife and then try to spin it like I'm the bad guy.

It's so like you.

And it ends tonight.

Don't do this. Just stop it, all right?

Tell me what you want.

What do you want from me?

Yeah, I'm going to talk your way out of this one.

Your dad dies, and then your marriage falls apart, so you throw your anger

your little mistress before turning the gun on yourself.

That's what they're going to say when they find your body. Carlton, please.

listen to yourself!

You think you're going to get away with murder, Carlton? I know I'm going to get

away with it.

What are you saying? And then Michelle and the company are going to be mine.

It was you that killed the nurse, wasn't it?

And Richard, too, admitted.

You tell me she's lying.

Tell me she's lying, Carlton.

I didn't kill him.

I didn't have to kill him.

He took care of that himself.

Just his time, I guess.

How can you talk that way about our father?

You and I might both be his sons, but we had very different fathers.

Your dad died of natural causes, but your cause of death is going to be

Carlton, you don't know what you're saying.

Now, talk to me, because you don't want to do this.

I'm going to take very good care of Michelle and Lucy when you are gone.

And Melissa, I swear I had no idea that this would be the end.

Thank you for everything.

Carlton.

What are you doing here?

You didn't come here to forgive him.

No. God, no. I came here to tell him that our marriage is over.

You were such a strong woman.

I knew you would see his true colors.

I'm sorry that it took all of this for me to realize Will is not the one for

I knew you would come back to me once you realized how much I was willing to

to protect you.

You did all of it.

All of this for me?

I can give you everything that you will ever need.

It was hard to watch Dad die, but now the company is mine.

You were with Richard.

The cops said that the housekeeper found him.

Yeah.

I was there.

We had an argument.

And he collapsed.

And I saw him take his last breath.

Then I left.

Left him to die.

And... Charlotte?

Did you... Charlotte, uh... I needed Charlotte out of

the way.

I'm sorry.

That's all I needed to hear.

Carlton, Clark!

You're under arrest for the second -degree murder of Richard Clark, the

conspiracy to murder Will Clark, and Melissa Janot. Keep your hands up where

can see them.

Michelle.

You.

You played me.

Carlton, don't you touch her. She has a gun. Hey!

Keep your hands up.

Don't move.

No, no, no. Drop the knife. Stay back.

You stay back.

Stay back.

Everybody stay back. Melissa set me up.

This is a set up. She told me to do this.

Chrome? You let her go.

Let her go.

I should have known you'd never give him up.

If I can't have you, no one can have me. Listen to me, Carlton.

You don't want to do this.

If you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

Don't move.

Hands behind your back.

You were so brave in there.

We couldn't have gotten this confession without you.

I'm just glad it's all over.

I'm so sorry, Michelle.

About Will, about everything.

You were protecting your mom.

I understand.

I would do anything to protect my family.

And your mom, she's okay?

I just spoke to the nurses there, and she's safe.

Hey, you.

What is this? Melissa sent Lucy a gift? Yeah, she dropped it off this morning.

I'm so glad she got a fair plea for testifying against Carlton.

Thank God it's locked up.

Yeah.

We're safe now.

Yeah.

Now, can you believe our daughter is nine years old? No, I cannot believe it.

Where did she go? I don't know.

Here's a birthday girl.

Wow.

Okay, so would you like to cake first or present?

Cake. Absolutely.

Great.

Okay, you ready?

Good job.

What did you wish for? I can't tell you.

Okay,

now let's open Melissa's gift.

Amen.
