Original subtitles

I'm Molly Hart.

I'm 19, and I have exactly two plans for my life.

Win a national gold medal in ballet, then join the National Ballet Company.

Becoming a mom?

That was never on the list.

Mommy?

Mommy?

Officer, I need help. This kid followed me here from the corner, calling me mom

the whole way.

You don't know him?

Officer, I'm into women.

Besides, I've never even dated anyone. How could I have a five-year-old son?

Oh, crap.

My morning class.

My professor's going to kill me.

Mom!

Sweetie, take another look.

I'm way too young. I could be your big sister, Tops.

Mommy,

did you forget me because that basketball knocked you out?

Listen, kid.

Keep following me, and I really will take you to the police.

Okay. Mom will come pick us up anyway.

What's the child's name?

My name is Noah Sterling Hart.

I'm five.

My mom's name is Claire Sterling. Claire?

No way.

It couldn't be her.

Postpone everything else on today's agenda.

But the board meeting starts in ten minutes. They can wait.

Have the car brought around. You're coming to the police station with me.

Claire?

Claire! Give me back my study notes!

Catch me first.

I'm sorry for the trouble, officer.

She's my wife. This is Noah, our son.

Your wife? Me?

So I'm not 19.

I'm 27?

You finally learned to count.

So I lost eight years of memories and married my art enemy?

Don't forget me!

And a son came with the deal?

So you're saying you have amnesia and you only remember your life up to 19?

Yes, yes, exactly.

Hey, look. That woman in the suit on the bench.

Isn't she the richest woman on Wall Street? The one on the cover of Forbes?

Well, look at you, Claire.

Eight years later, you're still alive after everything I put you through, and

now you're the richest woman on Wall Street?

Even with amnesia, you still make a compliment sound like a punch in the

face. I'm just stating facts.

A wife who's the richest woman on Wall Street, a luxury car, a son. Wait a

second. Eight years later, I've pretty much won at life.

Mommy, why do you keep smiling at me?

You're my son. Can't I admire you for a minute?

When you suddenly smiled at me before, You usually told me to stay in my room

and not come out.

Take it.

Is this spending money for me?

I don't care where you go or who you spend it on. But there's one rule.

Don't take Noah to see Sophia again.

Who's Sophia?

The woman you've chased for five years.

The one you've spent three years demanding a divorce for.

Not bad, Claire Bear.

Your taste has definitely improved since you were 19.

That nickname.

You haven't called me that in eight years.

Doesn't that prove I really have amnesia?

Or it proves you really did your homework for this latest divorce scheme.

Hey, wait!

You said I was chasing another woman? I have a wife like you, and I'm throwing

myself at someone else?

You should ask the person you've been for the past eight years.

The last thing I clearly remember is you hiding my calculus workbook in a locker.

I haven't even graduated from college, let alone been married for eight years.

You've tried every excuse to get a divorce. A car accident, depression,

studying abroad, amnesia. I suppose that's a slight upgrade.

Guess the old me had quite an imagination.

And quite a cruel streak, wouldn't you say?

Every time you say you're leaving, Noah asks me if Mommy doesn't want this

family anymore because he wasn't a good boy.

Are you talking about getting divorced again?

No, we're not.

At least that's not what I want now.

Really?

Grown-ups keep their promises.

Can you stop crying for me?

Or all those tears will make your macaroon salty.

What the hell happened to me?

Did I lose my taste along with my mind?

It's okay.

I just want to straighten your tie.

You're not going to grab my collar and make me stand by the door as punishment

this time?

I'm sorry, Noah.

I swear to God I'll never be that rough with you again.

Great. At 27, I've officially made my five-year-old son's list of dangerous

people.

Has she really changed?

Hi. Can I ask you something? How badly did I treat this family?

You're asking for my opinion?

Yes. It's okay.

Tell me the truth. I won't fire you.

Miss Sterling practically lives at the office these days.

Last month, you deleted all the data for a merger project from her computer for

Sophia. She and her team had to work around the clock for seven days to redo

it. I actually did that?

You even said that data wasn't worth as much as a chance for Sophia to start her

own business.

Do you know which contact is hers?

That one, pinned at the top.

Have you eaten today? I can fly out to see you.

Just say the word and I'll give you anything.

This isn't a conversation.

It's proof I lost every shred of self-respect.

She's the student my family used to sponsor?

So I hurt my wife and son for someone whose education my family paid for?

No. I need to talk to my parents. Why didn't they try to talk some sense into

me all these years?

Mom. It really feels like the old mommy is back today.

You're ready to trust her again already?

I like the mommy we have today.

I wish she could stay like this forever.

Look into everywhere Molly's been lately.

Especially anything involving Sophia.

Why are my parents living here?

Dad, why are you looking at me like I'm a debt collector?

Oh my God, how did she find us?

What happened to you two?

What have you come to take this time? The furniture we have left is worthless.

There's nothing of value left here for you to give Sophia.

Wait, we're bankrupt?

Heart Group was liquidated three years ago. Who destroyed our company? You.

The point is, I really do have amnesia.

I only remember my life up to 19.

Dad. Mom.

Please believe me.

Mommy. Molly hasn't been this sweet with us in so long.

Maybe she really has lost her memory.

You really don't remember?

I don't.

Will you please tell me what happened over the last eight years?

Eight years ago, you married Claire after graduating from college. You were

so happy together at first. Until you met Sophia.

You were obsessed.

You threw every resource, every dollar, every project the company had at her.

Was I out of my mind?

We'd like to know that, too.

Molly!

That's all the cash the company has left.

Sophia just needs one last round of funding to launch her company. I can't

let her fail.

Without that money, the company will go bankrupt!

Then you should have run it better. How is that my problem?

I wish I could go back and slap some sense into myself.

When we sold the manor and moved out, you tore through everything looking for

jewelry you could sell. You wanted to give the money to Sophia.

Where are you going?

To get a knife.

Molly!

Relax, Mom. I'm not going to kill myself. I just want to see if there's a

sponge where my brain should be.

Claire has been helping us all these years.

Rent, medical bills, lawyers.

She's handled so much for us. She even carried Noah for nine months using your

eggs so you could keep dancing.

She even offered to buy back our old manor, but we said no. We already owe

her far too much.

What about me?

What have I been doing all these years?

That says it all.

Dad, Mom, no apology can make up for what I did. But starting today, I'm

going to right every wrong and repay every debt one by one. You're really

done chasing Sophia?

If I spend one more cent on her, hold me accountable.

What about ballet?

Oh, right.

I must be in the National Ballet Company by now, right?

The National Ballet Company?

You haven't danced in five years.

Maestro Maria?

She hasn't retired yet? Tonight's her last show. I have to get to Boston.

Sophia's there, too.

Are you sure you're not... She could be on the moon for all I care.

Dad, I just want to see Maria perform.

Miss Hart booked a flight to Boston tonight.

Also, Sophia's on the same flight.

I see.

Would you like me to cancel her ticket?

No, I Knew it that whole change of heart today was just to make me let my

guard down You're really not going to see Sophia mom

Seeing Maria perform was what made me decide to devote my life to ballet I

don't remember why I gave it up, but I think it's time to rediscover why I fell

in love with it

Mommy, are you going away for a long time again?

Two days. Three at most.

You said that last time, but you didn't come home for a whole month.

Noah Sterling, go to your room right now.

And get your little soap case.

We leave in ten minutes.

I'm coming too?

Of course.

It's my first time seeing the world in 2027.

I could use a five-year-old tour guide.

Mrs. Sterling, Molly took Noah to Boston.

Should we have them stopped at the airport?

No.

Oliver, get the plane ready. I'm going to Boston tonight.

Ma'am, the acquisition signing is tomorrow morning. Move the signing to

Boston.

Molly, you'd better not be taking Noah to see Sophia.

No, we do. You guys measure Sophia.

Molly, I knew you wouldn't last more than a few days.

Sorry, do I know you?

Drop the act.

You followed me from Los Angeles to Boston. What else would you be here for?

Oh, so you're Sophia.

Why does your profile picture look nothing like you?

Are you upset because I haven't answered your messages?

I am upset.

For my parents, and for my brain, which apparently went missing eight years ago.

What's that supposed to mean?

Your family helped me out a few times. That doesn't give you the right to keep

holding it over my head.

I can't believe my parents wasted their kindness on someone like you.

Stop pretending Molly.

The harder you try, the more obvious it is you're still hung up on me.

Save that line for your next ATM.

That was for my parents.

And that was for me.

You think this will make me come back to you?

Which bank loaned you that ego?

The interest must be insane.

Keep pretending you don't care.

I already own 5% of this hotel. Once the acquisition closes, I'll be worth even

more. When you come crawling back, begging me to forgive you... Well,

congratulations. You finally realized you can't build a business, so now

you're using someone else's business to make yourself feel successful.

Recognize this?

You spent three months on a waiting list for this limited edition bracelet.

You put it on my wrist yourself just last month. Beautiful bracelet.

Shame about who's wearing it.

Fine. If you're so determined to act like you don't care, have it your way. I

never wanted this cheap junk anyway.

So you're here too.

Claire, after all these years, you haven't changed a bit.

Whatever Molly throws away, whatever I throw away, you're always happy to pick

up our leftovers.

Claire, when did you get here?

It's yours.

Keep it safe. Stop giving it to just anyone.

Did you come all the way to Boston just to keep tabs on your wife and who she's

seeing? No.

I'm here to buy this hotel.

Ms. Sterling, all the paperwork is ready for your signature.

Ms. Lane, your 5% stake is subject to a conduct clause.

Harassing a guest and shoving an employee in a public area of the hotel

has triggered a mandatory buyback.

You set me up?

I don't have time to set you up.

You signed the contract yourself.

You're just going to let her do this to me?

What else should I do?

Give you a round of applause?

So that's how a CEO puts someone in their place, without even lifting a

finger.

Disappointed?

No. That was pretty cool.

Then let me ask you something else.

That exam before graduation Which question did you ran about the whole way

back Taylor series? I still get a headache thinking about it.

So you really don't remember anything past 19 Of course welcome to the club of

people who believe me so far. I'm the only member

Mommy, don't go.

I'll be good.

Noah, it's okay. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere.

Oliver, get the doctor.

This is how I used to soothe you when you had night terrors as a kid.

Don't you remember?

You still remember that.

When it comes to you before I turn 19, I might remember more than you do. Why is

he so scared I'll leave?

Two years ago, Noah was diagnosed with severe reactive attachment disorder.

At his worst, he'd scratch himself until he bled.

Where was I?

Sophia had a cold. You flew to New York to bring her medicine.

What the hell got into me these past eight years?

Every new thing I learn makes me want to disown myself even more.

My sweet Noah, from now on, I'll always be here for you.

Don't sleep on the couch. This bed's plenty big. You've got work tomorrow.

You need your rest, and I don't want you catching a cold.

Are you inviting me to bed?

I... I'm just trying to save on medical bills.

Back then, I thought I'd be on an even bigger stage eight years later.

But now... Somehow I just gave it all up. Mommy?

Starting over at 27?

Is it really not too late?

If you still want it, your age doesn't get to decide whether it's too late.

But since you've quit dancing, I'll have that third floor dance studio turned

into a playroom for Noah.

Don't you dare!

That's my dance studio!

Is it?

You always complained it was barely over 2,000 square feet with only three

mirrored walls.

You refused to use it. I'll practice, starting today.

Anyone touches that studio, they'll have to go through me.

Send someone to renovate the dance studio immediately.

My family's bankrupt.

What am I doing shopping here?

You transferred $80 million to me?

Did your finger slip and hit a few extra zeros?

Those are dividends from the original shares you bought when you invested in

my first company.

Who knew I had such an eye for investments?

You weren't even thinking of it as an investment.

You just threw the money at me and said not to come crying to you if I lost it.

Still, I knew talent when I saw it.

The most humiliating part of not dancing for five years, my feet actually got

wider.

Also, go easy on the drinks tonight.

You've always had stomach problem.

Mrs. Sterling, what's the good news? You've got quite a smile.

It's personal.

Babe, I got what you wanted.

$38,000, all in.

What's in that bottle, perfume or oil futures?

You never used to care about the price.

Well, I do starting today.

Where are the receipts?

Babe, after all these years of friendship, you don't trust me? You're

auditing me now?

You know, when someone says that, it usually means they're about to lie.

Don't move!

Your nose looks crooked.

You tricked me.

$5,000 for the perfume.

The rest is plastic surgery, a yacht club, and your own shopping bills.

You're not shopping for me.

You're using me as your personal ATM.

You never used to care about a little money like this.

Exactly. Used to. I just sent you $5,000. You're not getting another cent.

You said Sophia loved this scent.

You said you'd do anything to make her happy.

The rest is my fee for getting it for you.

And don't bring up Sophia again.

She's got nothing to do with me.

Why?

You gave up ballet, the thing you cared about most, just because she said you

looked bad doing it.

What's gotten into you?

What did you just say?

Say that again.

Why did I give up ballet?

It was Sophia.

She said your feet looked hideous in ballet shoes and that your dancing was

too soft.

The next day, you canceled your tryout with the National Ballet Company.

So I wasn't just blinded by love.

I'd handed my brain over to her. Acting like you don't care now won't change

anything. You were so deeply in love with her. Stop.

Don't remind me of that embarrassing chapter of my life.

I've paid for the coffee, keep the perfume, and don't contact me again.

I blew all that money on Sophia while my parents were living in a place like

that?

The dividends you gave me, can I spend them however I want?

It's your money. You decide.

All right, then.

Can I ask what you're planning to do?

Buy back something that should have been my family's all along.

Attorney Howard, meet me at the Hart Manor entrance in half an hour.

Let's see who's living in my parents house now

Molly don't go in

We lost the right to call this place home a long time ago mom Don't be sad

just yet.

This place is going to be ours again today What are you all so broke you

don't even have a place to live Come crawling back to sponge off me Molly.

I hear you found new ways to chase Sophia

I don't care what your latest trick is.

Just keep your hands off the antiques in this house. Relax.

I'm not here for the antiques.

Then what do you want?

I'm taking the house back.

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

A family of broke losers thinks they can take this house back?

You only paid $200,000 up front, then left the balance unpaid for years.

You've breached the contract.

I'm here to settle this once and for all.

Can you prove any of that?

I'll compile all the evidence and submit it to the judge.

What you should be worried about is whether you can afford the damages for

breach of contract plus compensation for all those years of occupation.

We're family.

Why take something so small to court?

Molly, I used to hold you when you were little.

Then pack your bags and leave while that still means something to me.

You took advantage of us at our lowest to get this house for next to nothing.

Then you went years without paying the balance and lorded over us the whole

time. It's too late to play the family card now.

Richard, are you really going to stand there and let your daughter throw us out

on the street? Seems fair, doesn't it?

You stood there and watched when we were thrown out on the street.

Who the hell are you laughing at?

You have half an hour to pack.

After that, my lawyer will take action for unlawful occupation.

That's better.

Right where it belongs.

Welcome home.

Claire gave you the money for the house, didn't she?

Technically, it was my divoted money.

She kept it safe for me.

But I won't forget what she's done.

Stay for dinner tonight!

Take some home for Claire and Noah too.

Claire loves my baby back ribs and Noah loves your mom's apple pie.

She's always so busy and I've treated her so badly all these years.

But she still made time to check on my parents for me.

Dad made baby back ribs.

I saved you some.

Noah had a slice of apple pie and is asleep already.

Oh, I started dancing again.

Bad news.

My feet are half a size bigger than they were at 19.

Go easy on the alcohol.

It's bad for your stomach.

Take care of yourself.

You seem to be in a good mood tonight, Mrs. Sterling.

Shall we go somewhere else afterward?

I know a few young models who'd be happy to keep you company.

Do I look like I need that kind of entertainment?

I just thought you might like to unwind.

Then take yourself off my list of business partners.

That would put me right at ease.

Cancel the renewal.

Understood.

Drive slowly.

The streetlights by the manor entrance are out, and they won't be fixed until

tomorrow morning.

I don't want to wake up to a news story about the richest woman on Wall Rock

crashing right outside her own home.

Should I give this to Miss Hart now?

I'll take it.

When did you get home?

About ten minutes after you told me to stay out of the news.

Those landings feel a lot heavier than they did at 19, don't they? Yeah. In my

head, my body still moves like it did at 19. Then I started dancing and realized

some things really have changed.

Are these the same dance shoes Maria wears?

But her pointe shuler works exclusively for her. How did you get them?

I didn't buy them.

To Molly, may you become a legend in your own right once more.

Maria, how did you pull this off? I just made a few calls.

How many?

Twenty-seven.

So you pulled every favor you had just for my feet?

Try them on What's wrong, I only

just found out that Sophia once said my feet looked ugly in dance shoes What

does she know about ballet?

but I Think they're

beautiful really stand up show me what you should really be focusing on

Careful!

You just started dancing again and you're already pushing yourself too

hard?

It's just a minor sprain.

My body just hasn't caught up with my spirit yet.

Your spirit's 19.

Your ankle's 27.

Take this as a chance to rest.

I... I can do it myself.

You just proved you're not very good at taking care of yourself.

This is weird.

When I was 19, I hated her fussing over me. So why is my heart racing now,

watching her do this?

Why are you blushing?

I'm just hot from dancing.

The AC is set to 64.

Well, I...

Have good circulation.

Mommy, do you have a crush on Mom?

That's grown-up stuff.

Stay out of it.

Your ears are red.

Am I entering a weightlifting competition today?

Eat up, Mom.

Mommy says you work so much that when you get home, you don't even have the

energy to dance with her.

I said your mom needs rest.

But you also said she can't keep up.

At work. I meant at work. Don't listen to Noah.

So you've been worried about my stamina lately.

I'm worried about who's going to pull their weight around here.

Then you can put me to the test tonight.

What kind of test?

Eat your egg.

Mommy, you're really back to your old self.

You hardly ever used to joke with Mom.

Wow, my life must have been pretty boring.

Now you're more like the other kids' moms and dads.

How so?

Um, you argue, but you still sit down and eat together afterward.

We have company?

Selena Reed, Noah's therapist.

Hi, I'm Molly Hart, Noah's mother.

We finally meet Mrs. Hart.

Claire has brought Noah to most of his sessions over the past two years.

She's done so much for him.

Sounds like you know my wife very well.

Only in a professional capacity.

Children don't hide their feelings the way adults do.

Their drawings often tell us more than their words.

Looks like spending time together these past few days has helped.

At least he's drawing all three of us as a family.

Miss Hart, what makes you so sure one of those women is you?

In every family drawing Noah makes, this woman has that same silver mark on her

chest.

Every family drawing for the past two years looks like this.

Children need a stable family, and you've been absent for so long.

So what's your point?

If you really care about Noah, don't barge into his life just because you

suddenly feel guilty.

Keep your distance, at least while he's in treatment.

So you can take my place?

I'm only doing what's best for him.

Then here's some advice for you.

Stop using him to get close to his mother.

Claire, all I did was suggest that Miss Hart avoid disrupting his treatment

routine, but she seems to have gotten the wrong idea about me.

I want her gone.

That would affect Noah's... All right, we'll find another therapist.

Molly is Noah's mommy, and this is her home. Of course she has the final say.

Dr. Reed, I don't believe we're on a first-name basis.

Please call me Miss Sterling.

Mommy, you found my drawings!

Noah, tell me who this is in your drawing. Be honest.

I won't be mad.

It's you!

But isn't this Silver Dot?

That's you wearing the brooch you used to wear at competitions.

It's in the pictures Mom showed me.

The mommy I had before always ignored me. I didn't like that. I liked the

mommy in the pictures better. I always felt like that was the real you.

I'm sorry, Noah.

It's okay. My wish came true. The mommy in the pictures really came back.

I'm sorry I made you wait so long.

Are you ever going to leave again?

No. Unless you kick me out when you grow up.

Then I'll never grow up.

Revoke all of Selina's access to the manor, the school, and Noah's therapy

files. All of it?

All of it.

You? You used to copy my answers on biology tests, and now you're a

neurologist?

Thanks for the reminder.

If your wife hadn't just donated new equipment to our department, I'd shut

you up myself, free of charge.

What do the results show?

No obvious trauma or structural damage.

Losing exactly eight years of memories is medically very rare.

In plain English, please.

Medicine can't explain it.

You're wearing that expensive lab coat, you ordered all those tests, and all

you've got is medicine can't explain it?

Medicine isn't fortune-telling.

At least we know a brain bleed, a tumor, or an injury didn't wipe out those eight

years.

Will those memories come back?

They might come back all at once, or little by little, or they might never

come back.

No one can promise you anything.

Do you really believe she has amnesia?

Part of me does.

What if it turns out she's faking? Or she suddenly gets her memories back and

goes back to who she was? What will you do then?

I'll deal with that when it happens.

Aren't you afraid she'll hurt you again?

I am.

But if she's really come back to me, and I push her away because she hurt me

before, I think I'd regret that more.

You've got a terminal case of lovesickness.

If you can't cure it, shut up.

Noah, how about I take you home again today?

No. Mommy said she'd pick me up today.

But your mommy's promised that so many times before, and she never came, did

she? The more you get your hopes up, the more it'll hurt. Who says I'm not

coming?

Traffic and a line at the bakery made me seven minutes late.

How about I give you the biggest slice of cake to make up for it?

Deal.

You're no longer authorized to treat Noah. Why are you still showing up at

his school?

I'm worried about Noah.

I'm more worried about an adult who keeps trying to get close to a child

after his parents have explicitly told her no.

Security!

Remember her face. From now on, she is not to approach Noah without written

permission from Claire and me. Yes, ma'am.

Come on.

We're having dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's tonight.

Is Mom coming too?

Of course.

Who else is going to eat that fifth helping of ribs?

Still thinking about those drawings?

I know Noah was drawing me.

When I think about all those years, how I was never there when he needed me, I

just... If you feel guilty, spend more time with him. But don't let anyone use

that guilt to control you.

You pick him up every day now.

You're there at bedtime.

You remember his medications and allergies.

Focus on how much more Noah smiles now, not Selena's interpretation of a

drawing.

Selina sent voice messages and a few drawings.

Mrs. Hart, maybe it's time you face the truth. For the past two years, you were

never the person Noah really trusted.

Noah needs family he can count on.

Someone who makes him feel safe and won't disappear on him. I've been that

person for two years.

If you really love him, stop using the fact that you're his mother to guilt him

into accepting you.

I'll have my lawyer handle this tomorrow.

No.

What?

This time, I'm going to earn my place as Noah's mommy.

On my own.

I can't believe these are still here.

You made us measure your height every month as a kid.

You couldn't stand that I was a little taller.

That's not true. I was just keeping accurate records.

There's barely any difference now.

Nothing a pair of shoe lifts couldn't fix.

Claire Sterling, you're still so annoying.

What are you taking pictures of, little guy?

My first walk with Mommy and Mom together.

When you were little, you always said you'd turn this place into a ballet

school when you grew up.

I said that?

You did.

You even offered me a lifetime VIP seat if I invested.

So, want to invest?

Haven't I already given you everything?

Including myself?

I meant the dance studio, the shoes, and my time. I...

Claire, thank you.

An unknown number?

I'm at the Hart Manor entrance.

Come out.

Sophia? How did you get my new number? Don't waste my time with stupid

questions. Molly, you have ten minutes.

It's Sophia. I'm going to set her straight.

You don't owe me an explanation.

I knew you'd come out. I came out to make one thing clear. Don't ever come

looking for me again.

You're only this angry because I wouldn't give you a chance before,

right? Fine.

Here's your chance. Have dinner with me and we'll talk things over.

What are you doing?

I'm giving you a chance too.

A chance to run.

Take one more step toward my home.

And I'll take back everything I've given you over the years.

Surprise! Lunch is here.

Am I early?

We'll take a break.

Everyone out.

Molly, you stay.

My dad's ribs.

Someone had to rush back to work before she could even finish dinner last night,

so I'm making it up to her today.

You came all this way just to bring me lunch?

I was in the neighborhood.

It's a 40-minute drive from Hartmancer.

Just let me have that.

National Youth Ballet Competition.

Gold medal.

Molly Hart.

Isn't this the one I threw away in high school?

I just happened to pick it up.

Just happened to?

You just happened to pick my trophy out of the trash?

Then you just happened to keep it for ten years and put it on display front

and center in your office?

I just thought it looked nice.

I thought even you believed I had to buy my way to a win.

Since when have I been that bad a judge of talent?

Did Claire go comfort Damien after the competition back then?

Comfort him?

She tore into him so badly, he nearly dropped out.

You started the rumor.

What proof do you have? I don't need to prove that Molly can dance. Anyone who's

seen her on stage knows that.

How can you trust her that much?

Because she's Molly.

She might play pranks, but she'd never cheat.

She also took the trophy you threw away that day.

I always thought you knew.

I... I didn't know any of this.

Back then, one of you wouldn't admit how she felt, and the other couldn't see

what was right in front of her. It's a miracle you two got married.

I'm going home to ask her myself.

Just don't tell her I spilled the beans.

Too late.

Why did you stand up for me back then?

Which time? You got into so much trouble, I lost track.

When Danian spread that rumor about me.

There wasn't any proof.

Why did you still have so much faith in me?

Because you had that same faith in me long before that.

How did I end up with such a disgrace for a daughter?

Claire, just apologize to your father. It's only a few thousand dollars. You

could have asked for it. Why steal it?

I told you, it wasn't me.

The money was in the garden shed. I just found it.

If Claire really wanted to take your money, she wouldn't be this stupid about

it. Come on, stop wasting your time on people who don't believe you.

From that day on, I knew that no matter what, even if everyone else doubted me,

there would be at least one person who'd stand by me.

So you've been on my side ever since even when you kept lying to me for

someone else Claire

Mommy

I've got a surprise for you

You're both

wearing matching parent-child outfits and taking me to the amusement park art

today

Approved. I have a meeting this afternoon.

Mom, you promised yesterday you'd save the weekend for me and mommy.

A CEO can't break a deal with her five-year-old shareholder.

Molly, I finally found you.

Sophia's at the golf club today.

If you go sweet-talk her now, you might still be able to salvage things.

Who told you I wanted to salvage anything with her?

You used to try every trick in the book to win her over.

I'm telling you, acting all high and mighty will only push her away.

Send me $50,000 and I'll pick out a night down she won't be able to resist.

You're saying this in front of a child?

Did you get plastic surgery on your brain too?

What are we talking about?

Honey, he's trying to get me to spend $50,000 to win Sophia over.

We're just friends, joking around.

A real friend wouldn't treat me like an ATM.

My lawyer's already going through everything.

You're paying back every cent you scammed out of me.

You think I care about that pocket change?

My husband is a top Wall Street investor.

You want to fight?

I'm not scared of you.

Good. Saves me the trouble of finding him.

Hey, honey.

Who the hell did you piss off?

Sterling Corkorsham just pulled out of three rounds of our funding.

What? Get your ass home.

and a lawyer will be contacting you about a divorce.

Is he about to cry?

Shh. Let the grown-up keep a little dignity.

Security.

It's time to meet up for summer camp.

Oliver's coming to pick me up.

Didn't you ask Mom to clear her whole day to spend with you? The rest of the

day is for your date.

I've got it all planned.

Who taught you all this?

I learned it on TV.

Have fun on your date!

I'll go see no one off and go over a few work things with Oliver while I'm at it.

I really should have checked my horoscope before leaving the house.

Haven't you made enough of a scene? When have I ever made a scene with you?

I'm serious. I want you out of my life. For five years, your whole life revolved

around me. You'd fly in from out of state. Now you're suddenly acting like

you can't stand me. You just want me to cave in sweet talk you into coming back.

If confidence alone could take a company public, yours would have gone public

years ago.

You used to say you couldn't live without me.

Apparently, I had a flair for the dramatic.

Look, I'm breathing just fine. My heart rate's perfectly normal, too.

Can you really walk away?

My first company, my first round of funding, my first clients. You were

right beside me for all of it. Stop.

Don't twist things.

What I actually did was invest my money, resources, and connections in your

business. It just didn't work out. I wasn't spending every day and night with

you. Does your wife know how far you used to go just to make me happy?

Of course she knows.

She's the one who's been cleaning up my messes and taking care of my parents and

our child all these years.

I'm warning you.

Leave her alone.

She's nothing like you.

Why does it feel like she really doesn't love me anymore?

I heard you lost your memory.

It's okay.

Once you remember, you'll come back to me.

Then I hope I never get my memory back.

Can you honestly say you feel nothing for me?

Oh, I feel something.

I can't stand you.

Five years!

Think of all the awards I could have won. All the time I could have spent

with my parents and my family.

I wasted the most precious years of my life on someone like you.

Don't act so noble.

You were the one chasing me. I never begged you to.

You're right.

That's why I hate who I used to be, too.

I guess we were both pretty awful people.

But you were even willing to divorce the richest woman on Wall Street for me.

That wasn't some throwaway joke.

And now I'm stuck cleaning up the mess that idiot made. You really think you

two can start over?

You're not naive enough to think all the pain you caused her can just be erased,

are you?

I never expected that.

The hurt I caused the people in my life won't just disappear, but I can at least

do my best to make amends.

Whatever happens. I'm not wasting another second of my time another ounce

of energy or any more love on you Miss

Lane my wife, and I have a date to get back to are you leaving or were you

planning to stay and watch?

When did you get back?

Just in time to hear you say you wasted five years.

So you missed everything before that?

Too bad. I had some pretty good insults.

I'm not interested in grading your performance.

Are you jealous?

Do I have any right to be?

Of course you do.

I'm your wife.

And that woman was trying to steal me right in front of you.

You handled it well. I'm not worried.

Then why do I get the feeling someone's jealous?

You're imagining things.

Claire, I know I never made you feel secure in our relationship.

So when you see me alone with Sophia, it brings back all those painful years. But

please believe me, I won't hurt you or leave you again.

But you only remember your life up to 19. What if those eight years of

memories come back someday?

Then she'll have to fight me.

Don't worry.

19-year-old me can definitely take 27-year-old me.

You finally smiled.

Looks like Noah's date plan is really working.

Who's on a date with you? You are, you wonderful, wonderful woman.

Did your stomach sign a non-disclosure agreement?

Is that why you never tell anyone when it hurts?

I only had one glass.

What Sophia said today still bothers you, doesn't it?

I've trusted you and been let down too many times.

Every time I believed you'd come back to me.

But it was all an act to keep me fooled so you could get closer to her.

Now you've changed overnight. You're so good to me it almost doesn't feel real.

I don't quite know what to do.

It's okay.

We have a whole future ahead of us.

I'll work to earn your trust again.

If the old Mai really does come back, don't go soft on me. Just throw me out.

How could I ever bring myself to do that?

It's okay.

Nineteen-year-old Molly will do everything she can to find her way back

to you. When she does, just let her come home.

Claire.

Are

you

sure?

Isn't it a little late to ask that?

I don't want you waking up tomorrow thinking tonight was just a 19-year

-old's impulsive mistake.

I lost eight years of memories, not my ability to make decisions.

I wasn't even the one drinking last night. How did I get so bold?

About last night.

What about last night?

Don't worry.

I remember it very clearly.

Then why are you pretending you have amnesia?

I wanted to see if the one who actually has amnesia would get flustered.

Claire, you're getting meaner by the day.

See you tonight, darling.

Your brain structure is normal and your blood work looks fine.

After all these tests, I still can't figure out what's causing your amnesia.

Could this really be a medical miracle?

Thanks for calling it a medical miracle. That sounds a little more dignified than

I'm faking it.

She may not have amnesia at all. When a relationship is falling apart, people

can subconsciously rewrite their own story to avoid taking responsibility.

My family is none of your business.

I'm just saying, don't let her sudden kindness make you forget all the hurt

she caused.

You're awfully invested in our marriage, Mrs. Reed. Don't you have a life of your

own?

I'm just concerned about Noah.

Noah has a new doctor.

Besides, he's been doing much better with Molly around. You can stop using

him as an excuse.

What if those eight years of memories come back one day, and she goes back to

who she was?

I'll face that when it happens.

Doesn't that scare you?

It does.

But I'm more afraid of losing her when she's truly trying to find her way back

to me.

As I recall, the school has already put you on its no-contact list.

I haven't gone inside.

I'm just concerned about Noah. I came to see how he's doing. A professional

doctor respects a patient's boundaries.

Being overly concerned doesn't give you a free pass.

Mommy!

Sweetheart. What would you like to eat today?

Rainbow cake.

I want to make it with you. You got it. We can celebrate a whole week of me

picking you up on time. It's been eight days!

Then how about we take it to Mom's office when we're done and share it with

her? Yay!

Mommy, do you not like Celia?

Not everyone is going to like everyone, honey.

We all like different people, and that's normal.

If you like Celia and... Celia likes Mom.

I'm little, not stupid.

She looks at Mom the way Mom looks at you. You're such a smart boy, Noah.

Are you going to let her have Mom, then, and find someone else?

Oh, honey, why would I give up someone so wonderful just to go digging through

the trash?

Those eight years really were my shameful chapter.

The point is, I'm not leaving Mom.

We're going to be a family forever.

The National Ballet Company is holding open auditions.

Scared? I haven't trained in five years and I'm already 27.

And? And I'm weighing how much humiliation I can afford.

Don't overthink it. If you want to do it, give it a shot.

And if I get cut, how embarrassing would that be?

I thought you'd embarrass yourself every way possible over those eight years.

But you won't embarrass yourself this time.

I know it.

That's more like it Mommy are you entering a competition?

It's just an audition then I'd better start planning your celebration cake

This time

I'm doing this for myself.

I'm not giving up We used all these things to cheer you on before

your competitions, I thought we'd never get to use them again

Wasn't I beautiful when I danced?

I barely watched. I don't really remember.

Claire sat in the front row every time she came to watch you compete.

You're remembering it wrong, Richard.

You even got to the venue early every time to make sure you had the best view.

So someone's been good at claiming her spot since we were kids.

You're reading too much into it. Mom's blushing!

Just eat your dinner.

I always thought you just liked beating me.

I did like beating you.

And now?

Now I'd gladly lose to you.

Lane Group is bidding this round, too.

She's been strapped for cash lately.

It looks like she's going all in.

Follow the usual process.

Don't change our bid because of her.

There's one more thing.

She's been in frequent contact with your stepmother lately.

Those two?

So far, we've only found their call records.

We don't know what they've been discussing.

Keep watching them.

Don't tip them off.

Molly really has changed.

She looks at me like I'm her enemy now.

People don't change that much overnight.

Once her memory comes back, she'll choose you again.

But I can't afford to wait.

If I don't win that contract next month, my company will run out of cash.

I can find a way to get the bid proposal.

How? Claire keeps everything under lock and key.

But Molly can get into her office.

And her bedroom, can't she?

You just have to convince her that if she helps you this once...

She'll get what she wants most.

Having second thoughts?

A little.

Is it too late to run?

Too late, but I can help by dragging you back on strays.

Your technique and expressiveness are clearly still there, but you need to

rebuild your stamina.

I didn't pass the final round.

Then I'll get you different pretty flowers next time, Mommy.

At least you had the courage to get back out there, right?

Right. I gave it all up five years ago.

Now I'm taking it all back, one step at a time.

Meet me one last time.

I'll give you the answer you've been waiting five years for.

No fighting while I'm gone, okay?

Who's fighting with your mom?

You spent ten minutes arguing about who got to shower first yesterday.

That was a discussion.

You were so loud I could hear you downstairs.

Go on. Keep talking and you're losing dessert.

I told you to leave me alone.

I'm not here to beg or listen to your insults. I'm here to give you one last

choice.

Sounds like the opening line of a scam call.

All you ever wanted was for me to truly accept you, wasn't it?

I used to, but I'm done picking up trash.

Don't say no just yet.

Help me this once, and I'll commit to being with you.

How does that sound?

So you've put a price tag on yourself?

You'll want to hear this.

All this drama lately was just to make me admit how much you mean to me, wasn't

it?

Fine. I admit it.

Where the hell do you get all this confidence?

I can give you what you've always wanted.

Divorce Claire.

Once you're single...

We'll get married.

What makes you think? What I want is simple.

Get me the Sterling Conumeration's confidential bid price and core plan for

this project.

Once I win the contract, we'll call it even.

So this marriage offer is just a way to get me to steal trade secrets for you?

Who cares how we get there?

Isn't this what you always wanted?

I seriously should have had my head examined back then.

Divorce Claire. Once you're single, we'll get married.

No. As long as I don't hear her answer, she won't leave me.

You'll come back to me?

If you love dreaming so much, go home and go to sleep.

Shit.

Claire must have heard Sophia telling me to get a divorce.

Stay away from me.

You make me sick.

And don't even think about going after Claire's company.

Sooner or later, you'll regret turning me down today.

My only regret is not turning you down sooner.

She won't steal the bid proposal from me.

You can make your move, just like we agreed.

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

Why weren't you answering your phone?

Didn't want to interrupt while you made up your mind So you did hear loud and

clear Then why didn't you stay in here the rest because Because I was

scared.

I know you don't fully trust me yet.

I'll let it slide this time But next time you eavesdrop

make sure you hear the whole conversation before you leave

I can't expect you to trust me overnight.

But there's one thing you can be sure of.

I'm not going to hurt you again, and I'd never trade your trust for a deal with

Sophia. It's not that I don't trust who you are now.

I'm scared the old you will suddenly come back.

Then if she does, tell her she has terrible taste, terrible judgment, and

absolutely no brains.

She had someone as wonderful as you and still chose a piece of trash.

When did you get so good with words?

Probably when I finally got my brain back.

It really upset me when you just walked away today.

I was wrong.

Even if you don't fully trust me yet, you could at least give me a chance to

explain.

I'm sorry.

Do you still need to ask if I'm just caught up in the moment?

No.

I can feel it.

You love me.

Ma'am, our confidential bid price was leaked last night.

Lane Group won the project with a bid barely below ours.

Sophia only asked me to steal the documents last night, and now there's a

leak?

That means she has another way in.

Robert wants you home immediately to explain.

Melissa is there, too.

You don't have to come.

If Sophia's involved, that's all the more reason for me to go.

You'll be my father's first suspect.

Let him suspect me.

I've gotten pretty good at clearing my name lately.

All right, but keep your distance from Melissa.

Got it.

I've never liked her anyway.

Don't worry.

I'm not about to sit back and let someone frame me.

Claire, come to my study.

Now!

Don't worry about me.

Go.

Are you really turning down the chance Sophia offered you last night?

How do you know about that?

I was just guessing.

You used to do all sorts of crazy things for her. Why play the devoted wife now?

I don't owe you an explanation.

Molly, why did you push me? Enough! That trick is so old.

Listen to the recording before you judge.

Are you really turning down the chance Sophia offered you last night? You used

to do all sorts of crazy things for her.

Why play the devoted wife now? We can discuss their marriage later.

Company secrets have been leaked, and Sophia with Molly just last night. That

makes Molly the prime suspect.

You met with Sophia last night?

I did. She asked me to steal documents from your daughter's company. I refused.

Can anyone back that up?

I have a recording.

And I have another piece of evidence.

Three months ago, I put a different hidden mark on each copy given to our

authorized recipients.

The leaked copy came from my father. My father has no reason to sell out his own

company. That leaves just one person with unrestricted access to his study.

You have no proof it was me. Why are you so nervous? I have nothing to do with

Sophia. Why would I help her? Nothing to do with her?

Then explain this tea. It's a specialty from Sophia's hometown, and it's been

almost impossible to buy lately. It's just a coincidence.

Looks like asking Sophia would save us all some time.

Mom, did you get the final bid price?

She's your daughter? So all these years, you kept pushing Molly to get a divorce

because you wanted your daughter to take my place.

You never did it for me. Our legal team, the financial crimes investigators, or a

divorce lawyer, you can choose who you see first.

Sophia, congratulations on winning the project today. What's your point? And

congratulations on going all in on that development site yesterday.

The government releases its environmental report tomorrow. The land

is so badly contaminated that construction can't begin for ten years.

That's impossible.

You knew all along? I knew she was greedy. The rest was her choice.

Let's go home. Noah's waiting for us.

Sweetheart, how was summer camp?

It was good. I'm kind of tired.

Who did this to you?

Oliver, I need a list of everyone who worked at the summer camp. What?

What is it?

The last minute replacement for the children's counselor was Selena.

I warned her to stay away from my son.

I'm coming with you. Don't do anything rash.

What the hell did you do to Noah?

You should ask yourself that.

I didn't cause Noah's injuries.

I have a statement.

Mommy yells at me when she's drunk. She says I'm annoying and she grabs my hand.

That's impossible.

Those are his own words. You may have lost your memory and washed your hands

of the past, but Noah still remembers.

Keep her away from Noah. I can continue treating him. Claire, I can take care of

you both. So that's what you've been after all along.

Molly made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I know one thing she never hit

Noah How can you be so sure because I personally looked into every injury he

had during those years And that recording doesn't prove he was fully

aware of what he was saying

During summer camp, Selina repeatedly took Noah into a counseling room alone

with no surveillance cameras.

She also administered sedatives in violation of protocol.

They were necessary for his treatment. But the doses were high enough to

distort his memory and make him highly suggestible. You weren't treating him.

You were using him. Tell me, what really happened to Noah's arm? The police are

right outside.

You can talk here or in an interrogation room. It makes no difference to us. I

just wanted Noah to stay away from you. The more he depended on you, the less

chance I had of... Of replacing me? Sophia said if I got you out of this

family, she'd help me win Claire over.

I'm better for you than she is. You don't deserve me.

Selina went off the rails all on her own. Don't pin everything on me.

You scheme against me in business, I can let my lawyers handle you. But you went

after Noah?

That's a line you don't cross. It's easy to act morally superior when you're born

with everything.

Your family funded my education.

Claire inherited a financial empire.

Neither of you knows what it's like to have nothing to work with. My family

gave you a chance. We didn't owe you our lives.

You took our help as an insult, and that gives you the right to hurt a five-year

-old? This is the complete evidence that you leaked trade secrets, illegally

obtained medical records, and paid Selena.

Molly, you never used to be like this.

You're right.

I was wrong about everything back then.

But at least now, I know whose side I belong on.

I've missed so much. Then don't miss another moment, starting today.

Mommy, I get the first dance to celebrate tonight.

No, you have school tomorrow.

Exactly. I have to get up early, so I should dance with Mommy first.

You can have the second dance.

Is Noah asleep?

May I have this dance, champion?

What's wrong?

I remember.

Everything.

Sorry, she already has a date tonight.

And who are you supposed to be?

Her girlfriend.

Any other questions?

Girlfriend?

Just helping you out. Don't read into it.

Then answer me this.

What did you pick for the last bonus question on today's exam?

D. And if you're wrong?

How could I be wrong? If I am, I'll marry you.

So you didn't trick me into marrying you. I was the one who brought it up.

Having second thoughts?

A little.

I proposed last time. This time, it's your turn.

Molly Hart.

You chose me at 19, and you chose me all over again at 27.

Now I'm officially asking you for the third time. Will you stay my wife?

Mommy, say yes to Mom!

Yes, I will.

Don't forget me!

From now on, our family stays together.

Always.
