00:12The End
00:36According to the record, you share a nine-year-old daughter.
00:39You've been her primary caregiver, and she's expressed a wish to stay with you.
00:44I don't want her!
00:47After ten years of marriage, I walked away from my wife and the girl who called me dad for nine
00:53years.
00:55To everyone else, I probably looked like a cold bastard.
00:57But when a man turns ruthless overnight, there's usually only one reason.
01:05Birthday to you!
01:14On Chloe's birthday, I was about to transfer 15% of my Wittenhill Capital Trust to Vanessa.
01:20Then I read the medical report.
01:23Vanessa and I are both O positive. Chloe is A positive. The girl I'd raised for nine years was never
01:29mine.
01:32It's Chloe's birthday. What's with the long face? Come cut the cake.
01:42Nothing. I'm coming.
01:45Maybe the report's wrong.
01:47Chloe was born with the same birthmark I have.
01:50Three dots on her arm.
01:51How could she not be mine?
01:58Look. She's got the same birthmark as me.
02:12Daddy, you're hurting me.
02:15It's impossible. Where'd it go? Where's the birthmark?
02:25How could the birthmark just disappear?
02:28What happened to the baby I held in that hospital room?
02:31Was she switched from day one?
02:34You can't even handle a birthday cake without making a mess.
02:38What are you even good for?
02:42I warned Vanessa not to marry you.
02:45Ten years. No real job. Living off her money and all you do is make her life harder.
02:51If Chloe isn't mine, whose is she?
02:54Vanessa, what have you been hiding from me all these years?
02:57Vanessa, I gave you everything you wanted.
03:00I was even ready to hand over family shares.
03:03Now I see you never deserved any of it.
03:11Dad, it's me, Ethan.
03:13You finally decided to call.
03:16Ten years ago, you walked away from this family, from everything on Wall Street for Vanessa.
03:21This is the first time you've reached out.
03:24Dad, I'm sorry.
03:26Save the apology. Just tell me what you need.
03:31I've made up my mind, Dad. I'm coming back.
03:35I'm taking over Whitmore Capital.
03:37For real? You finally came to your senses.
03:40When are you coming home?
03:42Not yet.
03:43There's something I need to settle first.
03:45Have a DNA test run on Chloe and me.
03:48I need the results today.
03:49Chloe? My granddaughter?
03:52Ethan, what happened?
03:55I'll explain later.
04:00Grace.
04:02Chairman.
04:03Take a team to the Upper East Side.
04:06Whatever Ethan asks for, make it happen.
04:09No questions.
04:11Yes, sir.
04:25What's the rush?
04:26I haven't even given you a proper look yet.
04:33Is this enough, or do you want me closer?
04:42No knock?
04:43This is my house, too.
04:45I don't need permission to walk into my own study.
04:48But you...
04:49Who were you stripping for?
04:55Enough, Ethan.
04:57Ethan, I paid for this house and everything in it.
04:59What I wear, and who I let see me, is my choice.
05:04And I don't want you in my bed.
05:06Take the couch.
05:12You'll strip for a man on a screen, but you can't stand your own husband touching you?
05:17Vanessa, what am I to you?
05:19Stop playing like your victim.
05:21I pay for your food, your clothes, and the roof over your head.
05:26Cooking and taking care of a kid doesn't mean you're entitled to my body.
05:29Get out.
05:48Everyone stays outside.
05:50Yes, ma'am.
05:59Mr. Whitfear, the DNA report you requested.
06:05The results confirm that Chloe is not your biological daughter.
06:18Nine years.
06:19I raised her as my own for nine years.
06:23Vanessa, I secretly gave you a career, money, and status.
06:27And all that time, I was raising another man's child.
06:30So where's my real daughter?
06:31Where did you hide her?
06:34Mr. Whitfear.
06:40Go back for now.
06:42Tomorrow, there's something I need you to handle.
06:45Yes, sir.
06:52Vanessa, every secret you've kept for ten years is probably right here.
07:00Hello?
07:07My birthday, Chloe's birthday, even yours, none of them work.
07:11You locked me out completely fine.
07:12I'll tear through it piece by piece.
07:26Mr. Whitfield, everyone you asked is here.
07:29Mr. Whitfield.
07:30Three of Manhattan's top family attorneys, digital forensics and private investigation,
07:35and Dr. Walker, she handled Vanessa's maternity records.
07:40Mr. Whitmore, I brought every file we could recover as Grace requested.
07:45Why are the delivery notes, wristband log, blood sample numbers, and discharge records all missing?
07:50Paper files are normally kept for ten years,
07:53but this many key records shouldn't be missing from the electronic system, too.
07:57Someone tampered with the archive.
08:01Vanessa, you planned this from the day she was born.
08:05Dr. Walker, do you remember a three-dot red birthmark on your baby's arm?
08:10I do.
08:11You were excited because it matched yours.
08:15That child was my daughter.
08:18Vanessa, where did you send her?
08:19I want everything.
08:20Her relationships, her flights, hotel stays, credit card charges, her recent movements.
08:24Once we have the evidence, I want the post no-conforced.
08:27She loses everything she got from me.
08:29Yes, sir.
08:29Yes, sir.
08:40Richard has the transition ready.
08:42You can take over Whitmore Capital whenever you're ready.
08:46Not yet.
08:47I need the full picture first.
08:49The product launch and investor gala three days from now.
08:52Should it proceed?
08:53I've been managing the Whitmore funding for years.
08:57She's counting on the financing you approved last month.
09:01Don't cancel.
09:02I'll be there.
09:03Some scores need to be settled in front of every investor in that room.
09:15You're back.
09:15Good.
09:16I'm heading to L.A. for work.
09:18Don't blow up my phone while I'm gone.
09:22Work?
09:24Who's going with you?
09:25You stay home and watch the kid.
09:27Since when do you get to question my schedule?
09:29I've clearly spoiled you.
09:33You spoil me, Vanessa?
09:35Vanessa, when you learn that your company, this townhouse, and the whole life you brag
09:39about all came from me, will you still look down at me?
09:48Ten years.
09:50Birthdays.
09:51Anniversaries.
09:52You never bought me a single gift.
09:54I told myself you just didn't care about gifts.
09:56Now I know the truth.
09:57You just didn't care about me.
10:03Grace, trace this purchase.
10:05I want to know who got the watch.
10:08Mr. Whitfield, found it.
10:10The recipient was Ryan Cole, Vanessa's personal assistant and head of brand publicity.
10:15Him?
10:17Honey, here's your coffee.
10:22Sorry, Ethan.
10:23I was hungry, so I ate the lunch you made for Vanessa.
10:26You don't mind, do you?
10:32Ryan's been with me for years.
10:34I wasn't hungry, so I gave it to him.
10:36Don't be so sensitive.
10:40Honestly, the kitchen might be the only place you really belong.
10:43The signs were there all along.
10:45Two business class seats on Vanessa's flight today.
10:48The other passenger is Ryan.
10:51Deeper into Ryan.
10:53Everything.
10:54I want family records and any children connected to him.
10:56Yes, sir.
11:08So this is your solo business trip, Vanessa.
11:11Ten years of marriage, and every day was part of your performance.
11:15I booked your favorite penthouse.
11:17Floor-to-ceiling windows, a mirrored bathroom, and a bed big enough to keep us busy all night.
11:24How long has it been since we had a night completely to ourselves?
11:27Ethan's been acting crazy.
11:29He's checking my schedule, and last night he barged into the study.
11:33I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
11:37When are you finally divorcing him?
11:39I'm tired of hiding in hotel rooms and behind a screen.
11:42Three more days.
11:44Will more financing and project make him sign?
11:45I'm sick of sharing a house with a man I don't even want touching me.
11:57Vanessa, without the husband you look down on, would you have any of this?
12:01If you're planning to throw me away, I'll show you what it costs to betray the Whitmore heir.
12:10Mr. Whitmore, we finished looking into Ryan.
12:13We also found something else.
12:15Embryo and surrogacy records from a private fertility clinic in the Bahamas dated ten years ago.
12:21Chloe is very likely Vanessa and Ryan's biological child.
12:26Fertility treatment?
12:27Shortly after your wedding, Vanessa traveled to the Bahamas with Ryan under the guise of a business trip.
12:32They created Ambrose together, used a surriate to have Chloe,
12:36and someone altered the hospital handoff records from that same period.
12:45About Preston, Leighet.
12:47So her way of making things...
12:49...was to replace my daughter with theirs and let me raise her for nine years.
12:54Ryan also has another girl registered under his name, raised winged by his mother in Queens.
12:59Her age matches the missing infant exactly.
13:02She may be your biological daughter.
13:05Where is she?
13:06Take me there now.
13:16Mr. Whitfield, there she is.
13:21She has your eyes and your entire expression.
13:23It's freezing in New York.
13:24Why is that the only coat she has?
13:26Is she my daughter?
13:43Look, it's the school trash girl picking up leftovers again.
13:59Get on your knees and clean up every piece.
14:02No.
14:09You're so poor, you've probably never had milk.
14:12Here, drink up!
14:28That birthmark...
14:30She is my daughter.
14:43Sir, he dropped this.
14:49Why were those girls hurting you?
14:53Where's your family?
14:56I don't have a mother.
14:58My dad works in Manhattan and hasn't come home in months.
15:02Grandma is sick and can't walk very far.
15:04You're freezing.
15:05Here, take this.
15:07Cash and gift cards.
15:09Buy a warm coat and some food.
15:10Grandma says I'm not supposed to take money from strangers.
15:14You picked up my file.
15:16Think of this as a thank you.
15:18Thank you?
15:20Why are you crying, sir?
15:22Haven't you eaten in a long time either?
15:28I just...
15:30remembered my daughter.
15:33I have to go home and make dinner for Grandma.
15:36Promise me you won't cry anymore?
15:39I promise.
15:42My daughter.
15:43My real daughter.
15:45While she was being tullied, going hungry, and freezing out here,
15:49I was raising someone else's child.
15:51Vanessa, how could you do this to her?
15:54Mr. Whitmore.
15:56Put protection on her.
15:58Prepare a confirmative DNA test, custody filings, and emergency placement orders.
16:01I want my daughter home.
16:03And at the gala in three days, Vanessa will answer for every year she stole from us.
16:09Yes, sir.
16:16Mr. Whitfield, Grace has your wardrobe ready for me.
16:27Grace is finalizing the temporary placement for your daughter.
16:29They're on their way.
16:31Has the gala started?
16:33Yes.
16:34As instructed, we guided Vanessa and Ryan into the smart glass VIP lounge behind the stage.
16:38By now, they're probably already...
16:40occupied.
16:42Vanessa, you've performed this live for ten years.
16:45Tonight, I'm giving you a premiere you'll never forget.
16:49Soon, everyone will know exactly who the man you called worthless really is.
16:53Let's go.
16:54We're heading to the gala.
17:00George, I hear Vanessa's about to close a major deal with Whitmore Capital.
17:04That's right.
17:06The Whitmore's only heir himself will be here tonight.
17:10Wall Street's most mysterious heir?
17:12Hale Beauty is about to the next level.
17:14It's a shame Vanessa is so beautiful and capable, yet she's been supporting a husband without
17:20a real job for ten years.
17:22Don't mention him.
17:23He suddenly developed an attitude, disappeared for days, and stopped looking after Chloe.
17:29Vanessa has indulged him for far too long.
17:36Vanessa, the show starts now.
17:47This is my investor gala.
17:50The whole room is full of investors.
17:53Doing this back here, isn't it a little risky?
17:56The more people out there, the hotter it is.
17:59The glass is locked on privacy mode.
18:01They can't see a thing.
18:06Isn't that Vanessa's stay-at-home husband?
18:12Ethan, who let you in here?
18:14Do you have any idea what this event is?
18:18Where have you been the last few days?
18:20Vanessa gives you a monthly allowance, and you can't even take care of the child!
18:25You enjoy taking care of Vanessa's child so much?
18:29Fine.
18:30Chloe is yours from now on.
18:33I don't want her.
18:34What are you saying?
18:35You've been her father for nine years!
18:38You can't just walk away!
18:40I don't understand why Vanessa married him.
18:42No career, completely dependent on her, and he still has the nerve to make a scene.
18:49She's spoiled him.
18:51I'd have thrown a parasite like that out years ago.
18:54Vanessa has never done anything to betray you in ten years,
18:58and you have the nerve to disrupt her gala?
19:02Never betrayed me.
19:04Then what the hell is going on between her and Ryan?
19:07Vanessa and Ryan are business partners.
19:09Don't smear her because you're insecure and useless.
19:12Only an incapable man suspects a successful wife.
19:16Call Vanessa and apologize.
19:17Now, Vanessa supported you for ten years,
19:20and this is how you repay her?
19:22By ruining her gala?
19:24Apologize.
19:24Maybe she'll still let you stay in her house.
19:28Apologize!
19:29You owe her that!
19:30Ethan, stop pretending you have leverage.
19:33Just apologize.
19:35Fine.
19:37I'll apologize.
19:38A phone call wouldn't be sincere enough.
19:41I should apologize to her in person,
19:43in front of everyone.
20:05Vanessa is actually sleeping with her assistant.
20:09They were doing that backstage at her own investor gala,
20:13thinking the smart glass would hide everything.
20:16No wonder Ethan doesn't want Chloe.
20:18He must have known.
20:22Vanessa, you always wanted excitement.
20:25This is one night you'll never forget.
20:27And the real reckoning has only just begun.
20:34Shut up!
20:35This isn't what you think.
20:37Ryan and I, nothing happened.
20:39Enough!
20:40Vanessa lost control for one moment.
20:43And if you weren't so useless,
20:45she wouldn't have needed comfort from someone else.
20:48It takes two to ruin a marriage.
20:51With a husband like you,
20:53Vanessa's mistake didn't come out of nowhere.
20:56So she sleeps with another man.
20:57And somehow it's my fault for not satisfying her?
21:03Ethan, what do you want?
21:04This isn't all on Vanessa.
21:06If you need someone to blame, blame me.
21:08Come at me.
21:12You want me to come at you?
21:14Gladly.
21:33Ryan, Ethan, are you out of your mind?
21:36He told me to come at him.
21:38Why should I show respect to a man
21:40who inserted himself into another man's marriage?
21:44Ethan, Hal Beauty's financing depends on tonight.
21:48Leave.
21:48Now.
21:49So you do remember this is an investor gala.
21:53Yet you couldn't even keep your dress on
21:55before jumping into bed with your assistant.
21:57Vanessa, how desperate are you?
22:01You!
22:01Enough!
22:02Tonight determines Hale Beauty's partnership
22:04with Whitmore Capital.
22:06Leave now and remember who supported you for ten years.
22:09You will keep your mouth shut about tonight.
22:11Pretend it never happened.
22:15And if I don't...
22:16What do you want from me?
22:18I slept with Ryan once.
22:21Did you really have to drag me through the mud
22:23in front of everyone?
22:24Once?
22:26Betrayal isn't a mistake.
22:28It's a choice.
22:29Made over and over.
22:31Do I need to throw ten years of proof in your face
22:33before you admit what you've been doing?
22:36Proof?
22:37What proof?
22:48This is the proof.
22:51This is the proof.
23:07These pictures are graphic.
23:08This wasn't a one-time thing.
23:09Vanessa and Ryan have clearly been together for years.
23:11Look at the dates.
23:14The earliest one is from ten years ago.
23:17He's been lied to for a decade.
23:19Shut up!
23:20Pictures can be faked.
23:22Ethan made all of this up.
23:23Stop looking!
23:24Give them to me!
23:31Ethan, where did you get these?
23:33If I hadn't caught you,
23:34I never would have guessed
23:35your computer password was Ryan's birthday.
23:37I've seen everything.
23:38The video call screenshots,
23:40hotel photos,
23:41the messages you saved.
23:43Want me to keep going?
23:46You bastard!
23:47Married or not,
23:48people have a right to privacy.
23:50Breaking into her computer
23:52is what makes you the lowlife here.
23:53If I hadn't opened that computer,
23:55how would I know you used
23:56my house,
23:57my money,
23:58carry on a ten-year affair
23:59right under my nose?
24:01What's wrong with you today?
24:03I supported you for ten years.
24:06From now on,
24:07not a cent from me.
24:08You supported me?
24:11Without me and Whitworth Capital,
24:12do you think
24:13Hale Beauty would even exist?
24:15You really believe I'm just some
24:17stay-at-home dad
24:18living off his wife?
24:19Aren't you?
24:20No job,
24:21no income for ten years?
24:23Get out now,
24:24or you won't even be allowed
24:26back into that house.
24:28You want me gone?
24:30Fine.
24:36Look at him.
24:37He's about to back down.
24:39Without Vanessa,
24:39he's nobody.
24:41She says jump,
24:42he says how high.
24:44What else can a kept man do?
24:47Sign the divorce papers
24:48and enforce the post-nap.
24:50You give up every share
24:51and asset built with
24:52waiting for money.
24:53You walk away with nothing.
24:57What did you just say?
25:04Ethan,
25:04have you lost your mind?
25:06You want me to hand over
25:07my company
25:07and every asset I own?
25:10Ethan,
25:10this is extortion.
25:12You're trying to take
25:13Vanessa's entire company.
25:14Hale Beauty's seed money,
25:15every round of funding,
25:17and ten years of growth.
25:18All of it came from
25:19Wiltmore Capital.
25:21Under the agreement,
25:22she returns everything
25:24that was never hers.
25:25Vanessa supported you
25:26for ten years
25:27and gave you a daughter.
25:29She made one mistake
25:30and you want to destroy
25:32everything she built?
25:33You're using a divorce
25:34to steal my daughter's company.
25:36You really are a parasite.
25:39Vanessa,
25:41are you signing or not?
25:44Ethan is acting like
25:45a different man.
25:46He's really going
25:47after Vanessa.
25:48Vanessa cheated,
25:50sure.
25:50But she built that company.
25:52How does he get
25:53to take it all?
25:54I will never sign this.
25:56You are not taking
25:57Hale Beauty
25:57or anything that's mine.
26:03Won't sign?
26:04Good.
26:05I wasn't done
26:06with you anyway.
26:09What else are you
26:10going to do?
26:11Vanessa,
26:12how many things
26:13did you hide from me
26:14over ten years?
26:16Did you really think
26:17I'd never find out?
26:19I don't know
26:19what you're talking about.
26:20We were married
26:21for ten years.
26:22I admit I neglected you,
26:23but at least
26:23I gave you Chloe.
26:25For her sake,
26:26stop this.
26:30Stop using that child
26:31to lie to me.
26:32Chloe is not
26:33my biological daughter.
26:40What?
26:42Chloe isn't Ethan's kid?
26:46Ethan raised her
26:47for nine years.
26:49And in the end,
26:50she wasn't even his.
26:52Nine years.
26:54I'd lose my mind
26:55if I were him.
26:58Ethan,
26:58what are you talking about?
26:59What makes you think
27:00Chloe isn't yours?
27:02You just want
27:03Vanessa's money.
27:04You're making up
27:05a lie like this?
27:06Still pretending?
27:07You really think
27:08I'd never find out?
27:09Enough!
27:10You claim Chloe
27:11isn't your daughter.
27:12Where is your proof?
27:14You want proof?
27:16Fine.
27:17I'll give it to you.
27:24That's just a blood type reward.
27:26Ethan,
27:27what exactly
27:28is that supposed to prove?
27:29Read it, Vanessa.
27:31You and I are both type O.
27:33Chloe is type A.
27:34So explain,
27:35how do two O parents
27:37end up with an A child?
27:42A school record
27:43can contain a clerical error.
27:44You're going to destroy her
27:45over one mistake
27:46in a file?
27:47Fine.
27:49Let's say the blood type
27:50was an error.
27:51Then how do you explain
27:53a DNA test
27:54confirmed
27:54by three independent labs?
28:07The DNA confirmed it.
28:10Chloe really isn't
28:11Ethan's kid.
28:12Then whose is she?
28:13Ryan's.
28:14Obviously.
28:17Vanessa spent years
28:18selling this perfect
28:19family image
28:20and this is what
28:21she was really doing.
28:27Vanessa,
28:28what is going on?
28:30How could Chloe...
28:31Dad,
28:31I'll explain later.
28:33Ethan,
28:34please turn off
28:35the screen.
28:36Tonight is really
28:37important for the company.
28:38We can talk about
28:39this at home,
28:39okay?
28:40At home?
28:41What is left
28:41to explain?
28:43Tonight,
28:44every investor
28:45is going to see
28:46exactly who they've
28:48been doing business with.
28:49Did you have to do this
28:51tonight?
28:51This is a family matter.
28:53You're making all of us
28:54look bad.
28:55Your daughter was sleeping
28:55with her assistant
28:56backstage at her own gala.
28:58Of course you look bad.
29:01You.
29:02Ethan,
29:03you'll destroy Vanessa
29:04and the entire company.
29:05Name your price.
29:06I'll pay it.
29:07I don't want your money.
29:09I want you both
29:10to lose the one thing
29:11you care about,
29:12your reputation.
29:13For what you did to me.
29:14For switching my daughter.
29:16For ten years of lies.
29:17Security.
29:26Mr. Whitman.
29:29Bring in the press.
29:46Ethan,
29:47what are you trying
29:48to do?
29:49I told you,
29:51everything you've done
29:52over the past ten years
29:53will be exposed
29:54one by one.
29:58Miss Hale,
29:59are the photos
30:00and evidence
30:00of your affair real?
30:01Will this scandal
30:02affect the financing deal
30:03with Whitmore Capital?
30:04I'm not answering questions.
30:06Get out.
30:07All of you.
30:11What's it going to take
30:12to make you stop?
30:13Simple.
30:14Sign the divorce
30:15and asset for them.
30:16Admit the affair publicly.
30:18Apologize to the people
30:19you hurt.
30:19Then I stop.
30:22Not a chance.
30:23You want my company
30:24and every asset I own?
30:26No man who lived
30:27off me for ten years
30:28has the right
30:29to take anything from me.
30:31A loser
30:32is still a loser.
30:34All you know how to do
30:35is dig through
30:36people's private lives
30:37and humiliate them.
30:38Get this man
30:39and every reporter
30:41out of here!
30:57Ethan,
30:59I didn't know
31:00a stay-at-home dad
31:01could afford this much firepower
31:02just to make a scene.
31:04Haven't you had enough?
31:05You really think
31:06a few photos
31:07and one DNA test
31:08are going to take
31:09all of this from me?
31:12Who told you
31:13that's all I have?
31:16What else do you know?
31:19You want to know?
31:20Even if you have a familial
31:21than watch carefully.
31:23I knew how to save
31:27and a hope
31:27and watch carefully.
31:28That's what I have
31:29all worked on
