00:00:00Maria?
00:00:04Maria was my son's nanny for 20 years. The day she quit she said something strange. Maria, this is for
00:00:11you.
00:00:12No, ma'am. I can't take this.
00:00:16Maria, you've taken such good care of Adan since he was born. This is my way of thanking you.
00:00:24Thank you, ma'am. I wish you all the best.
00:00:28Come back if you ever need anything.
00:00:41Ma'am, your family portrait looks a little off. You might want to set it right.
00:00:48Isn't it?
00:00:51Don't touch that!
00:00:53Vikram?
00:00:56I'll take care of it, honey. Go get some rest.
00:00:59Thanks, sweetheart.
00:01:00Vikram and I have been married 20 years. One son. Everyone thinks we're the perfect family.
00:01:08Hey, babe. What's up?
00:01:09Hey, sweetie. I'm taking Aaron out for Indian food tonight. We won't be home for dinner.
00:01:14Twice a week, Vikram takes Aaron out. I always thought he just wanted him to stay connected to his roots.
00:01:20Now I'm not so sure. Maria isn't one to gossip. She cared for Aaron for 20 years. She wouldn't make
00:01:27things up.
00:01:28Why mention the portrait just as she was leaving? Something must have been weighing on her conscience.
00:01:36A hidden compartment?
00:01:41What is this?
00:01:45A DNA test?
00:01:47Catherine and Aaron? No biological relationship?
00:01:52He's not my son?
00:01:56It wasn't just the portrait that was crooked.
00:01:59No wonder he looks nothing like me.
00:02:05Happy birthday.
00:02:08All a lie.
00:02:19Honey, what are you doing?
00:02:26Back so soon?
00:02:27Yeah, stuffed.
00:02:29Just the two of you? No one else?
00:02:32Of course. We have our little secrets. Just between us guys.
00:02:38I don't wear that shade.
00:02:41How did I miss all these signs? I can't just pretend nothing's wrong.
00:02:45Babe, what's wrong? You feeling okay?
00:02:49I'm fine. Just tired without Maria here to help.
00:02:56I've known this face for 20 years. How can you feel like a stranger?
00:03:02Mom, why are you staring at me?
00:03:06You've got a gray hair. Let me get it.
00:03:09Oh, okay.
00:03:17Is the boy I raised for 20 years really my son? I'll find out myself.
00:03:26I need a rush DNA test. How fast can I get the results?
00:03:31Normally a week. We can rush it by four today, but it costs three times as much.
00:03:35Rush it. Sign here, ma'am. Then I'll take your sample.
00:03:42Please have a seat in the waiting area.
00:03:45One more hour. Will this test save my family? Or prove it was all a lie?
00:03:52Hi. I need you to investigate my husband. Focus on where he's been and who he's seen these past six
00:03:58months.
00:04:02Mom, where are you? I'm done shopping. Dad's busy, so come pick me up at the mall. Hurry up!
00:04:07Okay.
00:04:20The DNA results show a 0.001% chance you're Aaron's biological mother.
00:04:26What are you saying?
00:04:29The genetic markers rule you out as his biological mother.
00:04:41Mom, another trashy drama on your phone? What's with the waterworks?
00:04:46If only he knew. My life's worse than those dramas. Did you find clothes and shoes you liked?
00:04:51Yep. Bought a bunch. Maxed out that card you gave me though. Come on, Mom.
00:04:56You know you love me. Can I get another card?
00:05:00Sure. We'll talk at home. 20 years of loving this boy and he isn't mine. Then where's my child?
00:05:09Aaron, you turned 20 this Sunday. Where do you want to throw the party?
00:05:14We always do hotels. This year, what do you think, Mom?
00:05:20Why not host it here? We can invite the whole family and all our friends.
00:05:24Good call. Did you sort out his birthday present?
00:05:27It's all taken care of. Enjoy your dinner. I'm going to my room.
00:05:32Dad, Mom's acting really weird.
00:05:35Ignore her. Probably just hitting menopause.
00:05:39I was giving Aaron 30% of the company for his 20th birthday. What a joke.
00:05:46Aaron isn't my son. Then where's my child?
00:05:53Something tells me the truth's in there.
00:05:56Our anniversary?
00:06:01Vikram's birthday?
00:06:06Aaron's birthday?
00:06:10The day we met? No. His mother's birthday? No. The day the company opened?
00:06:16Still wrong.
00:06:21I have a business trip tomorrow. I'll be back in time for Aaron's birthday.
00:06:26Tomorrow? Who's going with you?
00:06:28It's last minute. Catherine, you've been acting strange since yesterday.
00:06:33Stop being so paranoid. It's just work.
00:06:45I was just asking.
00:06:54Perfume? I never wear perfume. Who is this for?
00:07:00Only one other.
00:07:01Trace this receipt for me right now.
00:07:0620 years married and not one gift. I thought he wasn't romantic.
00:07:12He was.
00:07:14Just not with me.
00:07:20The buyer was Priya. Yesterday was her 40th birthday.
00:07:24She's a single mother. Her daughter Maya is 20.
00:07:27She dropped out of school and delivers food.
00:07:30Yesterday. July 15th.
00:07:38Bikram, so this is your real family portrait?
00:07:43Priya. I know her.
00:07:45Bikram hired her as his secretary six months ago.
00:07:48After we married, Bikram took over my family's company.
00:07:51He hired more and more Indian employees.
00:07:53Priya was the one he trusted most.
00:07:59Ma'am, I was just helping Mr. Shama with some paperwork.
00:08:02Wait outside for a minute.
00:08:06Right. Sure.
00:08:09Paperwork? Is that what you call sleeping with him?
00:08:15You two go all the way back? Childhood sweethearts?
00:08:21Our anniversary is next Saturday. Let's go to the coast.
00:08:27I'm sorry babe. You know the company's had a rough year.
00:08:30I'm just not in the mood.
00:08:33And I can't spare the money for a trip.
00:08:35I get it. Maybe next year.
00:08:39Vikram, you're so good at lying.
00:08:42You make me sick!
00:08:49I'll be back by the weekend for Aaron's birthday bag.
00:08:53Have a safe flight.
00:09:00We really had it all worked out.
00:09:03Priya's Aaron's mother.
00:09:05Then where's my child?
00:09:09The buyer was Priya.
00:09:11Yesterday was her 40th birthday.
00:09:13She's a single mother.
00:09:15Her daughter, Maya, is 20.
00:09:17She dropped out of school and delivers food.
00:09:37That mole. Right where mine is.
00:09:40Hi, here's your delivery.
00:09:42She's left handed just like me.
00:09:44Maya, she's my daughter.
00:09:46Ma'am, what's wrong? Was I late? I'm so sorry.
00:09:49No! No, don't apologize.
00:09:52No, don't apologize.
00:09:54Are you okay, ma'am?
00:09:55Do you need an ambulance?
00:09:57You're only 20 and you're working this hard just to survive.
00:10:01Thank you. I'm okay, really.
00:10:05Another order.
00:10:06Could you leave me a good review?
00:10:15For 20 years they made fools of us.
00:10:18My daughter and I living out someone else's script.
00:10:23Aaron has everything.
00:10:24Designer clothes and shoes, the latest phone and game console.
00:10:28My daughter's the same age and she's wearing herself out just to get by.
00:10:32Mr. Smith, I'm divorcing Vikram.
00:10:35I want him and Aaron gone.
00:10:37Without a scent.
00:10:42What is this?
00:10:45Copies of every photo of Vikram and Priya.
00:10:48The DNA reports and perfume receipt are on there too.
00:10:53When do you plan to pull the trigger?
00:10:55No rush.
00:10:57We're having a party in two days.
00:10:59I want everyone there to see it.
00:11:01You're going to expose him in public?
00:11:03Katherine, I have to warn you.
00:11:04You each own 30% of the company.
00:11:06A scandal could ruin the company's reputation and hurt profits.
00:11:10Your shares could lose a lot of value.
00:11:14Then get Vikram out of the company.
00:11:15For good.
00:11:18We have two days until Sunday, Mr. Smith.
00:11:21Trace the company's money over the past few years.
00:11:24Look for hidden accounts.
00:11:26A man that calculated doesn't stop at scamming his wife.
00:11:29There has to be more we can use against him.
00:11:32Are you sure you want to do this?
00:11:35He played me for a fool for 20 years.
00:11:38Now it's my turn to play him.
00:11:43All right.
00:11:44I'll do everything I can to help.
00:11:58Mom, who was that?
00:12:01A lawyer.
00:12:03What's a lawyer doing here?
00:12:06Is this about the share transfer?
00:12:09Mom, you promised me all your shares when I turned 20.
00:12:12Yes.
00:12:13I promised them to my child.
00:12:16But...
00:12:18Are you really mine?
00:12:25Aaron, have I been a good mother to you?
00:12:27Of course.
00:12:29Nobody's ever spoiled me like you.
00:12:31I raised you.
00:12:33Of course I still love you.
00:12:36Be honest with me.
00:12:38Are you keeping anything from me?
00:12:46Hiding what?
00:12:48So I maxed out two more of your cards.
00:12:51Dinner for my classmates.
00:12:52A new phone.
00:12:53Those are necessities.
00:12:55I gave you a chance.
00:12:57You're just like your father.
00:12:59Nothing's ever enough and you think you can fool me.
00:13:09Ma'am!
00:13:10You dropped your bag.
00:13:13It's you.
00:13:16Do you deliver around here everyday?
00:13:19Yeah.
00:13:20Saving up for college.
00:13:21You're so young.
00:13:23What about your parents?
00:13:25My mom said I'm not college material.
00:13:28Said she wouldn't pay a dime so I'm on my own.
00:13:32Here.
00:13:33Drink some water.
00:13:36Thank you ma'am.
00:13:43Go buy yourself some new clothes.
00:13:46If you like dresses you'd look lovely in one.
00:13:49Of course.
00:13:49It's fine if you don't.
00:13:52No.
00:13:53I can't take this.
00:13:55I love dresses but I can't do deliveries in one.
00:13:59Priya.
00:14:01Your son lives like a prince in my house.
00:14:04And this is how you treat my daughter?
00:14:08You're going to pay for this.
00:14:12It's for a delivery.
00:14:14Bring a birthday cake to my house tomorrow afternoon.
00:14:17Wait what?
00:14:18What?
00:14:21Make sure you're there.
00:14:23Tomorrow I'll expose all 20 years of lies.
00:14:27Everyone will know.
00:14:29You're taking back everything that's yours Maya.
00:14:38No way!
00:14:40The limited editions?
00:14:41You've been begging for these.
00:14:43Happy early birthday Aaron.
00:14:45Dad you're the best!
00:14:49Look at him babe.
00:14:52Still a kid at heart.
00:14:5420 grand sneakers.
00:14:56Who wouldn't be thrilled?
00:14:58My daughter's stuck in rags.
00:15:02She can't even wear the dresses she likes.
00:15:04And his bastard son gets everything.
00:15:08Mom.
00:15:09Dad got me something insane.
00:15:10What about you?
00:15:13Your gift arrives tomorrow.
00:15:16Sweet!
00:15:17Can't wait!
00:15:18That 30% will belong to the Sharmas soon.
00:15:26Enjoy it while you can.
00:15:28Tomorrow, you'll be exposed in front of everyone.
00:15:31The status.
00:15:33The money.
00:15:34You're giving it all back.
00:15:38Catherine, you were right.
00:15:40What did you find?
00:15:41For years, Vikram's used company money to prepay for supplies and consulting.
00:15:45Then funneled large sums into shell companies.
00:15:48Shell companies?
00:15:49He cooked the books to funnel 200 million dollars to Priya.
00:15:53What else?
00:15:54The contracts list company accounts.
00:15:56But the money went into hidden personal accounts belonging to Aaron and Priya.
00:16:01You really thought he could get away with this.
00:16:03There's more.
00:16:04He's applied to college abroad for Aaron.
00:16:06Priya's going with him.
00:16:07They leave tomorrow night.
00:16:09I suspect he'll join them after your divorce and settle overseas.
00:16:13What a happy little family.
00:16:15Living it up on the money they stole.
00:16:17Catherine, what do you want to do next?
00:16:19They're paying back every cent.
00:16:21And then some.
00:16:23Uncle Tom, I want to move next week's board meeting to tomorrow.
00:16:28Vikram's a schemer.
00:16:29Marry him and you'll regret it.
00:16:31I won't give my blessing.
00:16:33Dad, you're being unfair.
00:16:34We love each other.
00:16:36I can't change your mind.
00:16:38I'm giving you 60% of the company as a wedding gift.
00:16:42Vikram gets no more than 30% of the company.
00:16:45I'll split the other 40 among people I trust completely.
00:16:48If you ever change your mind, you can always turn to them.
00:16:51They'll help you.
00:16:52That day will never come, Dad.
00:16:55Vikram seems to have forgotten this has always been my company.
00:17:03The party's about to start. Where are you going?
00:17:06Picking someone up.
00:17:07Who?
00:17:09Priya, my secretary. You've met her. She's been a huge help at work.
00:17:12Can't wait to bring your mistress into my home, can you?
00:17:15Well, if she's that important, go get her.
00:17:17I'll give her a proper welcome.
00:17:20Priya and Aaron's flight is at 8 tonight, right?
00:17:23Work fast. I'm tearing their plans apart before then.
00:17:28Mr. Sharma, 20 already? Your grandson's grown into such a handsome young man.
00:17:33Of course. Aaron's our pride and joy. Always so bright.
00:17:37And isn't he handsome?
00:17:38Hi, Mom. Thank goodness he takes after Vikram.
00:17:42That's our Brahmin family for you. Brains, looks, talent.
00:17:45Absolutely.
00:17:46Vikram's the most successful businessman in our immigrant community.
00:17:50My son works himself to the bone.
00:17:52Some people just sit at home enjoying his money.
00:17:55Vikram takes care of everything around here.
00:17:57Look at Aaron. Tall, handsome, all thanks to his father.
00:18:01He really is the spitting image of Vikram.
00:18:03Same nose, same eyes as Vikram.
00:18:06Nothing like Catherine, though.
00:18:08A son takes after his father. What's so strange about that?
00:18:11Aaron, take everyone to get something to eat.
00:18:18I was thinking that too, Mom.
00:18:2020 years, and not one feature like mine.
00:18:23Funny how genetics works, isn't it?
00:18:26What does it matter who he looks like?
00:18:28Aaron is family!
00:18:30Stop spoiling the party!
00:18:38We're family now. I'll treat you like my own mother.
00:18:43Once we're done, I'll get you that Indian food you wanted.
00:18:46Okay?
00:18:47Oh.
00:18:49I cared for you like my own mother for years.
00:18:51Even let Vikram hire all your relatives.
00:18:54And your whole family played me for a fool.
00:18:56For 20 years.
00:18:58Catherine, it's Aaron's 20th.
00:19:00Why on earth are we throwing the party at home?
00:19:03It's more intimate this way.
00:19:05Look at these cheap decorations!
00:19:07You're embarrassing Vikram!
00:19:08This is beneath us!
00:19:10This party matters.
00:19:11I have my reasons for holding it here.
00:19:13Always an excuse with you!
00:19:14Where's Vikram? Why isn't he here yet?
00:19:16Picking up a very important guest.
00:19:17He should be here any minute.
00:19:20Speak of the devil.
00:19:22Dad! Aunt Priya!
00:19:24Who's she? He went to pick her up himself?
00:19:26His most trusted secretary, apparently.
00:19:28With that outfit? For her boss's son's birthday?
00:19:31Catherine, Priya picked out a special gift for Aaron.
00:19:33So I invited her over. You don't mind, do you?
00:19:36Mind? Not at all.
00:19:38Today wouldn't be complete without Priya.
00:19:40After all, you're the star of the show.
00:19:41You're too kind.
00:19:45Happy 20th, Aaron.
00:19:46I picked this out just for you.
00:19:51Here's to living every second on your own terms.
00:19:54I've wanted this forever. Mom wouldn't buy it from me.
00:19:57At least you care. Aunt Priya.
00:19:58Always so thoughtful, Priya.
00:20:01You're beautiful and thoughtful, Priya.
00:20:04Unlike some people who just stand around doing nothing.
00:20:07Look at Mrs. Sharma fussing over that secretary.
00:20:11And Aaron's so close to her, they look like the real family.
00:20:14Go ahead. Play happy family.
00:20:17Enjoy these last few minutes.
00:20:22Everyone is here! Let the party begin!
00:20:25Friends, family, today is my son Aaron's 20th birthday.
00:20:31I still remember how tiny he was when he was born.
00:20:33I watched you take your first steps, heard your first dad.
00:20:37Even when you got into trouble, I was angry, but proud.
00:20:42Raising you, Aaron, nothing in my life makes me prouder.
00:20:46Thank you, Dad. And thank you, Mom.
00:20:49I owe you both everything.
00:20:50I promise I'll repay you.
00:20:53Such a devoted mother and son.
00:20:55Mr. Sharma, when are we cutting the cake?
00:20:58Aaron was born at three, wasn't he?
00:20:59Two minutes to three. Let's cut it now for luck.
00:21:04Priya, how do you remember his exact birth time?
00:21:07Better than I do?
00:21:10You've misunderstood.
00:21:11I helped organize Mr. Sharma's files.
00:21:13I saw it once in his notes and remembered.
00:21:14Right. I've mentioned it to Priya before.
00:21:17Really? You discussed things that personal with your secretary?
00:21:21You must really trust her, Vikam.
00:21:23Katherine, what are you implying?
00:21:25It's Aaron's 20th birthday.
00:21:27Do you have to ruin it with your paranoia?
00:21:29Mom! Aunt Priya was just reminding Dad!
00:21:32Why are you attacking her?
00:21:34Stop freaking out at my party!
00:21:36Why does his secretary know what time his son was born?
00:21:38That's weird.
00:21:39Please don't blame Vikrit.
00:21:41I'm a mother too.
00:21:42I love my daughter.
00:21:44I remember because I know how much that moment means.
00:21:47You have a daughter?
00:21:49If these moments mean so much, why didn't you bring her?
00:21:53What's wrong Priya? Couldn't bring her? Or were you afraid to?
00:22:01My daughter's working right now. She isn't as fortunate as Aaron.
00:22:06Work? Delivering food through this storm for a few bucks?
00:22:09Priya, I gave your son everything.
00:22:12Designer clothes, a life of comfort.
00:22:14And you make my daughter struggle just to survive?
00:22:17Katherine, what is wrong with you? Priya's a guest.
00:22:20She brought a gift? And you're interrogating her about her family?
00:22:23Where are your manners?
00:22:25Enough, Katherine. Leave my secretary alone.
00:22:28She works hard enough. Can't you be a little more gracious?
00:22:32Mom, Aunt Priya's right. It's almost three. Time to cut the cake.
00:22:36Where's the one you ordered?
00:22:38The delivery's still on its way. It's hard to get here in this rain.
00:22:41You couldn't even get a cake here on time?
00:22:44Call and find out what's taking so long. Everyone's waiting.
00:22:48A cake? That's all you bothered with and it's late?
00:22:51Are you trying to embarrass me?
00:22:53Are you sure? Once she walks through that door, this life you stole is over.
00:22:59Yes! I need to cut the cake and post it on Instagram. Stop wasting my time!
00:23:05Hi, I'm so sorry. It's pouring. And I almost wiped out. I might be two minutes late.
00:23:10I'm really sorry.
00:23:15It's fine. Take it slow. Just get here safely.
00:23:21Two minutes late is still late, you useless piece of trash!
00:23:28Watch your mouth!
00:23:30Mom, are you crazy? You're nicer to her than to me!
00:23:34Who's your kid here? You're yelling at me over some delivery girl?
00:23:37She's somebody's daughter, Erin.
00:23:40You think delivering in this storm is easy?
00:23:43What's gotten into you today? All this sympathy for a delivery driver?
00:23:47Fine. We can wait two minutes.
00:23:49While we wait, give Erin his birthday gift.
00:23:52I heard Catherine set aside 30% of the company's equity for his 20th.
00:23:56That's worth a fortune. Mom! Come on! Where's the share transfer agreement?
00:24:00Oh, it's ready. Hope you can handle the surprise.
00:24:06I don't care! Just give me the shares!
00:24:09Cake first, Erin. We're not skipping that.
00:24:12Who cares about cake? I've had the best my whole life.
00:24:15Yes, you have. I lost my mother young.
00:24:18I barely got to have a mom, so I swore I'd be the best mother in the world.
00:24:22Give my child anything they wanted.
00:24:24Mom, what's with the Saw story? The papers are right there! Just sign them!
00:24:28I just never asked myself whether you deserved any of it.
00:24:31Catherine! What are you talking about?
00:24:33She's delivering a cake! Why do you keep using her as an excuse?
00:24:35It's not about the cake. That girl means everything to me.
00:24:40She's here.
00:24:49You! What are you doing here?
00:24:51Mom? What are you doing here?
00:24:54You're embarrassing me! Get out!
00:25:04Don't go. Stay and celebrate with us.
00:25:07Catherine, this is ridiculous! She's soaking wet and filthy!
00:25:10This is Erin's birthday party! Let her get back to her deliveries!
00:25:13Whatever she loses today, I'll pay her double.
00:25:16Besides, she's hardly a stranger to you two.
00:25:18Priya, you said your daughter was working, didn't you?
00:25:20You call this looking after her?
00:25:21She's risking her life on a motorcycle in this storm!
00:25:29That dress costs what? $100,000?
00:25:32$50,000 for the necklace, $30,000 for the earrings?
00:25:35Even your shoes cost $20,000.
00:25:37Over $200,000 on yourself, Priya.
00:25:40And your daughter's out in the rain, soaked through with holes in her clothes.
00:25:44I'm teaching her to be tough!
00:25:46She needs to learn how hard life can be!
00:25:49So you treat her like an enemy?
00:25:51You think you stole her from someone else?
00:25:53Enough!
00:25:54Catherine, have you lost your mind?
00:25:56You don't need to rescue anyone!
00:25:59How she raises her daughter is none of your business!
00:26:04It's Erin's 20th birthday!
00:26:06Do you have to make a scene?
00:26:08In front of all these guests?
00:26:10This is too much, Catherine!
00:26:12You're neglecting your own son over some girl who wandered in?
00:26:15What is wrong with you?
00:26:17Cut the cake and sign the share transfer agreement.
00:26:20Getting those shares to Erin is what matters!
00:26:23Not even bothering to pretend anymore, are you?
00:26:26Get the shares, catch a flight, start over abroad with your family?
00:26:29That's why you're in such a hurry, isn't it?
00:26:31Mom, get her out of here! She's filthy! Look what she's doing to the floor!
00:26:34I'll just go, ma'am.
00:26:36Don't be afraid. I've got you.
00:26:39Fine. She can stay. Just cut the cake.
00:26:42Erin and the guests are waiting.
00:26:44Well then, let's not keep anyone waiting.
00:26:4820 years of lies.
00:26:51Time everyone knew the truth.
00:26:56Finally, that delivery girl ruined the whole thing.
00:26:59Hold on. You're not cutting this cake.
00:27:01Mom! What's your problem?
00:27:03Who the hell else would cut my birthday cake?
00:27:06Come here, Maya. I want you to cut it.
00:27:08Oh, no, ma'am. I couldn't.
00:27:11She doesn't know any better, ma'am.
00:27:13I'll take her home. Please, leave her out of this.
00:27:15You're letting some delivery girl cut my birthday cake?
00:27:17You've completely lost it!
00:27:19Is menopause making you delirional, Catherine?
00:27:22Listen to yourself!
00:27:24You're embarrassing this family in front of everyone!
00:27:27Why is she treating that delivery girl like her own child?
00:27:29She lost her mind.
00:27:31Erin, ignore her! Open the box!
00:27:33It's my birthday!
00:27:35No!
00:27:40Who the hell is Maya? Her? That little beggar?
00:27:43Mom, are you insane?
00:27:44You ordered this. You planned to ruin his birthday.
00:27:46What are you trying to pull?
00:27:47You crazy bitch! You don't get to treat my grandson like this!
00:27:50I'll kill you!
00:27:52Go ahead, mother.
00:27:53Show everyone how classy this family really is.
00:27:56Mom, what do you want? I'm your son!
00:27:58Why are you humiliating me in front of everyone?
00:28:01Tell me, Priya.
00:28:02Isn't it Maya's birthday today too?
00:28:08I don't remember. She's grown up. She doesn't need a birthday party.
00:28:13She's only 20. Have you ever celebrated her birthday?
00:28:19Maya, is today your birthday?
00:28:21Yes, ma'am. How did you know my name and my birthday?
00:28:26Enough, Katherine! You've spent years living in luxury. What have I ever denied you?
00:28:30And now you're taking it out on Aaron? On his birthday? What do you want?
00:28:34Just an answer, Vikram. Is Aaron really my son?
00:28:41You're out of your mind. You gave birth to him. You've raised him for 20 years. Of course he's your
00:28:46son!
00:28:47You're saying I'm not your son because of her?
00:28:50Of course he's yours! Everyone in our community knows Aaron is the Sharma family heir.
00:28:54What kind of mother says that about her own child?
00:28:58His birth mother is right here. Isn't that right, Priya?
00:29:01I don't know what you mean. Mr. Sharma and I only work together. How could I-
00:29:05You crazy bitch! You can't stand how good she is at her job. This jealousy has gone far enough!
00:29:12Still going to deny it, Vikram?
00:29:14Deny what? You've got no proof! Don't make me slap you in front of everyone!
00:29:20You want proof? Why do you think I insisted on having the party here?
00:29:25It's been in this room the whole time.
00:29:29Right behind our family portrait.
00:29:35Katherine! Stop! Don't touch that picture!
00:29:38Everyone's about to see what you've been hiding.
00:29:40Katherine, what are you doing? It's Aaron's birthday! Stop this!
00:29:46The evidence is behind that portrait, Vikram. You know it.
00:29:50Evidence? It's just a family photo. They look so happy.
00:29:54I thought they had the perfect marriage. What's wrong with the picture?
00:29:58Mom, why are you doing this to me? Don't you love me anymore?
00:30:02She's crazy! She's trying to destroy our family!
00:30:06Somebody get her out of here!
00:30:08Don't take another step!
00:30:12Throw me out, and you can forget my signature on that share transfer.
00:30:17Katherine, what do you want?
00:30:18We look happy, don't we? The perfect facade. Just the place to hide your worst secret, Vikram.
00:30:29Oh my god!
00:30:36Did you really think I'd never find it here, Vikram?
00:30:39Take a good look, everyone. A DNA test. Between Aaron and me.
00:30:45She's not his mother?
00:30:46She raised him for 20 years without knowing?
00:30:49No! No, that's impossible! It can't be!
00:30:52Katherine! What are you trying to pull with that fake report?
00:30:55Fake?
00:30:57The lab mixed up the samples! I meant to throw that out years ago!
00:31:00Then why hide it behind our family portrait?
00:31:03Who couldn't you let see it?
00:31:05I... I just forgot to throw it away.
00:31:08Stop lying about my son!
00:31:10You made this up to keep my grandson from getting those shares!
00:31:14Well, my lawyer can clear that up. Here he is.
00:31:19Sorry I'm late, everyone. The rain held up traffic.
00:31:22You're right on time.
00:31:25We're just getting started.
00:31:30Everything's set, Katherine. Ready when you are.
00:31:33Another lab error, Vikram?
00:31:34This test was three days ago. Go ahead, Mr. Smith.
00:31:40I found the report behind the portrait.
00:31:42But before I accused Vikram, I had to be sure.
00:31:50So I took Aaron's hair to a doctor for another DNA test.
00:31:56It confirmed it.
00:31:58The boy I raised for 20 years, I didn't give birth to him.
00:32:05No, Mom! You've always loved me!
00:32:08The best cars, the best schools, you gave me everything!
00:32:11How can you not be my mom?!
00:32:15People can lie, Aaron. A DNA test doesn't.
00:32:19Then who is she? Who's my birth mother?
00:32:21Yes. Whose child have I been raising for 20 years?
00:32:25Show everyone, Mr. Smith.
00:32:35There's your answer, Aaron! Priya is your birth mother!
00:32:41Aunty Priya? Is my mom?
00:32:45I thought he was such a devoted husband.
00:32:47He made his mistress his secretary?
00:32:49So much for Priya being good at her job.
00:32:51She's sleeping with the boss.
00:32:53Even had his child. Shameless.
00:32:55Poor Katherine.
00:32:5720 years raising his mistress's child.
00:32:59How could the Sharmas do that to-
00:33:00They're fake!
00:33:01These photos, they're photoshopped!
00:33:05Katherine, yes, Vikram and I grew up together.
00:33:07We used to date, but that's over!
00:33:10I'm his assistant now! Nothing's going on between us!
00:33:13Nothing?
00:33:14You're a woman, Katherine. You know what an accusation like this does.
00:33:17How could you fake these photos and humiliate me?!
00:33:22Enough, Katherine! After everything Priya's done for this company,
00:33:25you had these photos faked to humiliate her and me!
00:33:29You vicious bitch! You'd do anything to ruin my son and grandson!
00:33:32Those photos, that DNA test, you faked it all!
00:33:35Mom, I like Auntie Priya. She's always been good to me.
00:33:38But she's not my mother! You raised me!
00:33:41Why are you making up these lies about us?
00:33:45Fine. You need more than photos.
00:33:54Sweetheart, is everything taken care of?
00:33:56Once Katherine gives Aaron her 30% on Sunday, he and I will own 60%, a majority.
00:34:02Then I'll ask for a divorce.
00:34:04We can finally be together, all three of us.
00:34:07No more hiding.
00:34:12Go on, Vikram. Tell everyone I faked that, too.
00:34:22Well?
00:34:24What's your excuse now?
00:34:28Fine! It's true!
00:34:30You can't make him love you, Katherine.
00:34:32We were together before you ever came along.
00:34:35You think he'd have married you without the green card and your family's company?
00:34:38Priya, shut up!
00:34:40When we broke up, I didn't even know I was pregnant!
00:34:43Aaron is his son! He belongs with the Sharmas!
00:34:46I had every right to bring him home!
00:34:48Auntie Priya, you really are my mom?
00:34:52That's why you always knew my size.
00:34:54Why you treated me better than Maya.
00:34:56You knew about her and your father, didn't you?
00:34:59You chose her over me before you even knew she was your mother.
00:35:04I thought she was just dad's girlfriend.
00:35:07She was always so sweet to me.
00:35:09They were always on my case about school.
00:35:11So I covered for them.
00:35:13I didn't think it was such a big deal.
00:35:15My son!
00:35:1920 years I've waited to tell everyone you're mine!
00:35:22Shut up! Just shut up!
00:35:26Catherine, listen. This is all a misunderstanding.
00:35:29It's Aaron's 20th birthday. Let the party finish!
00:35:33I'll explain everything in private, okay?
00:35:35Let him have his birthday. We don't need an audience for this!
00:35:38Explain what, Vikram?
00:35:41How you switched our babies while I lay unconscious?
00:35:45Bleeding from giving birth?
00:35:47No, that's not-
00:35:48Or how you got Priya into the company.
00:35:50She got to watch her son grow up.
00:35:53I did the work of raising him.
00:35:54You both made a fool of me!
00:35:56Catherine, please don't do this.
00:35:58Or how you spent 20 years laughing at me behind my back.
00:36:01The fool who paid for everything!
00:36:04And you want a birthday party?
00:36:06I'm supposed to celebrate your son while you're plotting to steal from me?
00:36:11That's all this begging is about, isn't it?
00:36:13Without my signature, you don't get my 30%.
00:36:33Fine, Catherine. No point pretending anymore.
00:36:38What are you gonna do with 30%?
00:36:40You're a housewife.
00:36:42Can you run a company? Make investments? Raise capital?
00:36:46Get to the point.
00:36:48You still raised Aaron.
00:36:50Give him the shares, and you'll still be his mother.
00:36:53You'll live in luxury for the rest of your life!
00:36:55So I just pretend none of this happened?
00:36:57Keep calling him my son?
00:36:59I'm not selfish, Catherine.
00:37:01Give him the shares, and we can both be his mother.
00:37:04Everyone gets what they want.
00:37:06Aaron is the Sharma family heir!
00:37:08You didn't give us a son!
00:37:10Of course he should get your shares!
00:37:12Who else would you give them to?
00:37:15You're forgetting something.
00:37:22I have a daughter, Maya.
00:37:24She spent her life struggling away from me.
00:37:27My 30% is for her.
00:37:31Ma'am, what are you talking about?
00:37:36It's true, Maya.
00:37:38I'm your mother.
00:37:41Mom, are you insane?!
00:37:43She delivers food!
00:37:45You're telling me she's your daughter?!
00:37:51You want a child so badly, you're imagining things!
00:37:54Maya is mine!
00:37:56Her father is my ex-husband!
00:37:58You don't get to claim her!
00:38:02You switched our babies.
00:38:05You didn't stop me from recognizing my daughter.
00:38:11From the first time I saw you,
00:38:13I couldn't bear how much you were hurting.
00:38:16I felt it.
00:38:18You were mine.
00:38:21No!
00:38:22You've got it wrong!
00:38:23Maya, you useless idiot!
00:38:25Don't just stand there!
00:38:26Get out!
00:38:27You think trash like you could be her daughter?!
00:38:34You're so quick to call her your daughter.
00:38:36Have you ever treated her like one?
00:38:40This will sting for a second, sweetheart.
00:38:50You can get a rushed DNA test back in two hours.
00:38:53Stay until five, everyone.
00:38:54You can see the results yourselves.
00:39:01No!
00:39:01We can't wait until five!
00:39:03The party has to end on time!
00:39:08Why?
00:39:09Will Priya and Eren miss their flight tonight?
00:39:12Ruin their getaway?
00:39:18Catherine!
00:39:19How do you know about the tickets?
00:39:21You really thought you could keep this from me?
00:39:25Get me to sign over my shares?
00:39:27Then start over abroad.
00:39:29Did you think I'd never catch on?
00:39:32What's going on?
00:39:33He was gonna leave her and run off with those two?
00:39:37Fine!
00:39:38Then let's settle this!
00:39:40You take that useless girl.
00:39:42I'll take Eren.
00:39:43We divorce, and we're done!
00:39:45But first, you sign your 30% over to him.
00:39:48That's my condition!
00:39:51Keep dreaming, Vikam.
00:39:58You cheated on me, and deliberately switched my baby.
00:40:02You don't get to set terms.
00:40:04You shameless shrew!
00:40:06He's called you mom for 20 years!
00:40:08Eren is the Sharma family heir.
00:40:10Those shares go to him!
00:40:14Look at yourself, Mrs. Sharma.
00:40:16Screaming at me in front of everyone.
00:40:18And you call me a shrew?
00:40:20Who do you think you are, you white bitch?
00:40:22Talking to me like that!
00:40:26You helped switch the babies, didn't you?
00:40:30Think your age will keep you out of prison?
00:40:32When I give the police the evidence?
00:40:35You! How dare you!
00:40:39My son disgraced this family
00:40:42by marrying an ignorant fool like you!
00:40:45Hey! Mom! Mom! Grandma!
00:40:47No!
00:40:52Drop the act.
00:40:53I'm staying right here for the results.
00:40:56For the next two hours, nobody leaves.
00:41:02She's still married to my son!
00:41:05And this is how she treats me?
00:41:07He's worked to support her for 20 years!
00:41:10Now she humiliates me in front of everyone!
00:41:13That's right. We're still married.
00:41:15Half of everything here belongs to me.
00:41:18You stopped being family when you helped him switch my baby.
00:41:21You have no business sitting in my home.
00:41:23Don't push me, Catherine.
00:41:25You own 30%, so do I!
00:41:27But you're a housewife.
00:41:29I'm the CEO.
00:41:30I actually run the company!
00:41:32And?
00:41:33So the shareholders take my 30% a lot more seriously than yours!
00:41:37You're a shareholder on paper.
00:41:40I can get the board together and push you out whenever I want.
00:41:44Back off while you can.
00:41:46Keep this up, and you get nothing!
00:41:50It seems you've forgotten who you are, Vikram.
00:41:52Do you even remember where your founding shares came from?
00:41:55In the first place?
00:41:5820 years ago, he just immigrated here.
00:42:00He couldn't find a job.
00:42:02I married him and helped him build his career.
00:42:04You owe this life to me and my family!
00:42:08That explains it.
00:42:09He barely arrived before he was CEO, hiring all his relatives.
00:42:13She helped him make his fortune.
00:42:14He repaid her by switching her daughter with his mistress' son.
00:42:17What an ungrateful bastard.
00:42:18Shut up!
00:42:21Liar!
00:42:22My son is a Brahmin!
00:42:23He earned that CEO position!
00:42:26You idiots believe anything this bitch tells you!
00:42:29Mom. No. Aunt Catherine.
00:42:33Maybe you helped him get started,
00:42:34but Dad worked day and night to build that company.
00:42:37The shareholders know what matters.
00:42:39I make them money.
00:42:40They'll back me.
00:42:42Your shares won't get me out of that chair.
00:42:54Last chance, Catherine.
00:42:56Two documents.
00:42:57One transfers your shares.
00:42:59The other ends our marriage.
00:43:01Sign them.
00:43:02You take Maya, Aaron stays with me.
00:43:06For the sake of our 20 years together,
00:43:08I'll throw in five million dollars.
00:43:11You and that useless girl can live comfortably on that.
00:43:13Most people never earn five million in their lives.
00:43:17You and Maya should be grateful.
00:43:26So I give you my shares and you give me five million?
00:43:30All you have to do is sign.
00:43:39You still think you can fool me?
00:43:41Keep me at home?
00:43:43Believing whatever you tell me?
00:43:44Catherine!
00:43:46Five million makes up for the 20 years you stole from my daughter?
00:43:49Let's you off the hook?
00:43:51For everything you did?
00:43:53Don't make trouble for yourself!
00:43:54You're signing both agreements today!
00:43:57And what if I don't?
00:44:00Don't you touch my mother!
00:44:04I'm your father.
00:44:06Get out of my way, you useless brat.
00:44:09Look at her, Vikram.
00:44:11She's your daughter, too.
00:44:13How can you do this to her?
00:44:15She's a girl!
00:44:16Only a son can inherit in this family!
00:44:19I raised Aaron to be my heir.
00:44:21Besides, I gave Priya plenty of money to raise Maya properly.
00:44:25I did my part!
00:44:26Look at her!
00:44:28She dropped out of school.
00:44:30She delivers food in scorching heat and pouring rain and gets treated like dirt!
00:44:34That's how well Priya raised her!
00:44:37How could she be so cruel?
00:44:39Catherine gave her son everything.
00:44:41She let Catherine's daughter drop out and deliver food for a living.
00:44:49What was I supposed to do?
00:44:51I was raising her alone!
00:44:53I had to work, pay the bills.
00:44:55I couldn't do everything!
00:44:57Besides, she didn't want to study!
00:44:59She wanted to work!
00:45:01Don't blame me for that!
00:45:02You're lying!
00:45:03I was always top of my class.
00:45:05I wanted to go to medical school.
00:45:07Be a doctor.
00:45:08Save lives!
00:45:09You tore up my acceptance letter!
00:45:11You said you couldn't afford medical school!
00:45:13Then where did the money go?
00:45:15I sent you money for her every month!
00:45:17She wasn't mine!
00:45:19Every time I looked at her, I saw Catherine!
00:45:21How could you expect me to love her like my own?
00:45:24I saved it all for Aaron!
00:45:26There's nothing wrong with putting my son first!
00:45:28What a vicious woman.
00:45:30That poor girl.
00:45:31You care so much about Maya?
00:45:33Take her back and give me my son!
00:45:35I'll divorce him.
00:45:37Really?
00:45:39Under this agreement, every cent you gave Prita over the years comes back to me.
00:45:46You cheated on me.
00:45:48You switched my baby.
00:45:49You're leaving this marriage with nothing!
00:45:58I leave with nothing?
00:46:00You don't understand how this works, Catherine.
00:46:02I run the company!
00:46:04Every asset here is in my name!
00:46:07You stay home and collect dividends!
00:46:09You don't get to dictate terms!
00:46:11That's right!
00:46:12My son earned the money!
00:46:14Everything here is his!
00:46:15You couldn't even give him a son!
00:46:17You're the one who leaves with nothing!
00:46:19Aunt Catherine, you raised me, so here's some advice.
00:46:22Know when you've lost.
00:46:23Take your delivery girl daughter and get out!
00:46:25You're dirtying our carpet.
00:46:27You've all got this wrong.
00:46:30Come in.
00:46:39Gentlemen.
00:46:41Why are you here? There's no board meeting today!
00:46:43There is now.
00:46:44We moved it up.
00:46:46Why wasn't I told? I'm the CEO!
00:46:53You and I each own 30%.
00:46:56These men hold the other 40.
00:46:58They've known me since I was little.
00:47:01And they answer to me.
00:47:06At my son's birthday party?
00:47:08You're staging a coup?
00:47:10A coup?
00:47:10A coup?
00:47:11You've forgotten whose company this is.
00:47:13Before her father left to expand the business overseas, he asked us to stand behind Catherine.
00:47:18We backed you for her and her father.
00:47:21We backed you for her and her father.
00:47:21Not because you were some business genius.
00:47:24Know your place.
00:47:25You may impress everyone else with that CEO title.
00:47:29To us, you've only ever been Catherine's husband.
00:47:31My God.
00:47:33I thought she just helped him get started.
00:47:36He's depended on her for everything.
00:47:38He's disgraced his family.
00:47:40As a fellow Indian, I'm ashamed of him.
00:47:44Bullshit!
00:47:45My leadership made this company what it is.
00:47:47Now you're throwing me away?
00:47:50Sign the divorce agreement.
00:47:51You leave with nothing.
00:47:53Now get out of my home.
00:47:55I'm not signing!
00:47:56You think a few old men can scare me?
00:47:59I own 30%.
00:48:00I'm legally the CEO!
00:48:03I'm staying.
00:48:04None of you can force me out!
00:48:06For the sake of our 20 years, I gave you a way out.
00:48:10You refused.
00:48:12Since you're so concerned about your stake, let's take a look at how you've been taking money from me and
00:48:17the other shareholders.
00:48:18Transferring it to Priya, bit by bit.
00:48:22It is divorce agreement.
00:48:38Turn it off! Turn it off, you bitch! Those are fake!
00:48:43Fake.
00:48:45An accounting firm has already audited those records, Vikram.
00:48:48You diverted 200 million dollars from the company.
00:48:52That's embezzlement.
00:48:53I have enough evidence to bring charges and put you in prison for the rest of your life.
00:49:00Please!
00:49:00I made a mistake.
00:49:02The money was for our overseas expansion.
00:49:04Enough!
00:49:04We know exactly what you did.
00:49:07Vikram's illegal conduct has seriously harmed this company.
00:49:11On behalf of the board, the vote is unanimous.
00:49:14Vikram Sharma is removed as CEO.
00:49:17Effective immediately.
00:49:19Wait.
00:49:20Dad's broke?
00:49:22It's over!
00:49:23It's all over!
00:49:27You thought I'd sign over my 30% today.
00:49:30You'd take control?
00:49:32You'd take control?
00:49:32Then throw me out?
00:49:35You didn't get my shares?
00:49:37You lost your job instead.
00:49:48You're dead.
00:49:49Katherine, the DNA results are in.
00:49:52The DNA test confirms it.
00:49:54Katherine is Maya's biological mother.
00:49:58Maya!
00:49:59I finally found you!
00:50:01Mom!
00:50:02I'm here now.
00:50:04No one's going to hurt you again.
00:50:06Twenty years apart.
00:50:08What a miracle.
00:50:09Forget it.
00:50:09Let's get to the airport.
00:50:11We've booked the tickets.
00:50:12We can leave tonight.
00:50:16Dad!
00:50:17All our accounts are frozen.
00:50:19The tickets won't go through!
00:50:21What?
00:50:22Mr. Sharma, all assets and accounts in your name have been frozen by legal order.
00:50:27You're also barred from leaving the country.
00:50:29That $200 million in company funds must be accounted for.
00:50:34We were so close!
00:50:36One more step!
00:50:38How did this happen?
00:50:40Twenty years of scheming.
00:50:42All for nothing.
00:50:43The money, the power, you stole it.
00:50:45Now you're giving it all back.
00:50:54Maya, sweetheart.
00:50:56This is your 20th.
00:50:57Cut it.
00:50:59Every hardship is behind you now.
00:51:06Go ahead, baby.
00:51:13Mom.
00:51:14This is the first birthday cake I've ever had in my entire life.
00:51:22I'm so sorry, Maya.
00:51:24Mom, I was so late finding you.
00:51:25No, Mom.
00:51:26You were a victim too.
00:51:30I swear to you.
00:51:31Every single thing you were robbed of over the last 20 years,
00:51:34I will pay you back tenfold.
00:51:38Twenty grand.
00:51:39That's all we've got left.
00:51:44That ruthless bitch.
00:51:45She even raided the stash under my mattress!
00:51:51Stop counting!
00:51:52What is 20 grand supposed to do?
00:51:54It won't even buy a decent pair of kicks!
00:51:57Today was my 20th birthday.
00:51:58I was supposed to be partying on a luxury yacht in a multi-million dollar penthouse.
00:52:03And now look at me, eating instant ramen in a moldy hellhole!
00:52:07Priya, you're the one who claimed you're my real mom.
00:52:09You're the one who swapped me into this family.
00:52:11Give me some money.
00:52:13Now!
00:52:16Aaron, what do you need money for right now?
00:52:18To take the boys out to dinner and hit the clubs!
00:52:20Every single one of my friends is laughing at me behind my back!
00:52:23I don't have any money left, Aaron. The accounts are frozen!
00:52:26This 20 grand is all we have left to survive on!
00:52:29To survive on? You think a broke nobody like you deserves to call herself my mother?
00:52:37Catherine might not be my real mother, but she gave me black cards with no limit!
00:52:41What did you ever give me?
00:52:43Nothing but this miserable, broke-ass life!
00:52:45Aaron! I did everything for you!
00:52:47Every single crime was for your future!
00:52:49Don't you dare say you did it for me! You make me sick!
00:53:01Maya, ready to go?
00:53:03Coming!
00:53:09Vikram?
00:53:10What are you doing here?
00:53:12Catherine, sweetheart, please, we need to talk.
00:53:15Maya and I have an appointment to take a family portrait.
00:53:19I don't have time for your pathetic excuses.
00:53:24Catherine, I made a mistake.
00:53:26I swear to God, I know I messed up!
00:53:28Please don't divorce me!
00:53:3220 years of marriage!
00:53:35We built a life! We raised a kid together!
00:53:38You can't just throw our family away!
00:53:41You want to talk about our child, Vikram?
00:53:44Which child are you referring to?
00:53:46Maya, the daughter you stole and left to rot on the streets for dinner years?
00:53:51For 20 years?
00:53:52Or Aaron, the arrogant parasite you groomed to rob me blind?
00:53:58Aaron!
00:54:00He's the boy you raised with your own hands?
00:54:06The second you swapped my daughter, you lost the right to ever say the word father in front of me.
00:54:11You're nothing but a scheming parasite.
00:54:16Sign it. It's the only lifeline you're getting.
00:54:19I won't sign it.
00:54:21If I sign this, I lose everything!
00:54:24Maya and I are going to take the family portrait that was delayed by 20 years.
00:54:28When I get back, your signature better be on that line.
00:54:32No.
00:54:34Please.
00:54:35Refuse, and Mr. Smith walks every shred of evidence, the baby swap, the fraud, the grand larceny, straight to the
00:54:41district attorney's office.
00:54:43When that happens, you won't be begging on my porch.
00:54:46You'll be rotting in a federal penitentiary.
00:54:56Mom?
00:54:59Ignore him. Let's go.
00:55:11Relax, sweetie. You belong here.
00:55:16Welcome. How can I help you?
00:55:18I want an entire wardrobe for my daughter.
00:55:21Casual, formal, lounge wear, only the best fabrics.
00:55:24Right this way, please.
00:55:39Oh, ma'am. She's breathtaking.
00:55:41That dress was practically stitched for her.
00:55:46My daughter deserves to look like royalty.
00:55:51Mom, this is way too expensive.
00:55:55You're my daughter, Maya.
00:55:57You deserve nothing less than the best.
00:56:01Come on. The photo studio is right on the third floor.
00:56:04Okay.
00:56:07Sir, this card was declined. If you don't have the funds, stop wasting our time.
00:56:11These limited edition kicks are $30,000. You smudge the suede, you pay for it.
00:56:16That's impossible. My mom, she must have just topped up the balance.
00:56:19Run it again. Just run it.
00:56:21Stop making a scene. One more word and I'm calling mall security for attempted fraud.
00:56:25Kid looks like a trust fund baby, but he's just a broke deadbeat.
00:56:27Grown-ass man throwing a tantrum over sneakers? Embarrassing.
00:56:34Mom! Tell them! Tell them how much money we have! Buy the shoes for me, Mom! They're humiliating me!
00:56:42Put the shoes on my card.
00:56:44Mom! I knew you still loved me!
00:56:47I can't live in that roach motel anymore. Priya does nothing but cry all day.
00:56:51Take me home with you, Mom. I'll do whatever you say, I promise.
00:56:57Aaron, this is the last bill I will ever pay for you.
00:57:00Mom.
00:57:01Consider this $30,000 my parting gift for the 20 years I raised you.
00:57:05From this moment on, Maya is my only child. Grow up and get used to reality.
00:57:09Your father is bankrupt and Priya doesn't have a penny to fund your lifestyle.
00:57:13Adapting to the real world is your first assignment.
00:57:31It's finally over.
00:57:35Maya, come help me hang this up.
00:57:44There. This family will never be crooked again.
00:57:47You look so beautiful, Mom.
00:57:56I met with the admissions doctor at the University Medical Center this afternoon.
00:58:02You told me you dreamed of being a doctor, but Priya crushed it.
00:58:06Well, now you have a mother who has the means and the time to support you every step of the
00:58:11way.
00:58:12Mom, but I'm already twenty-
00:58:14Twenty is just the beginning. I'll be right beside you every day.
00:58:18Shhh.
00:58:21Can I... Can I really go back to school?
00:58:24I thought my life was already decided.
00:58:27You're my daughter.
00:58:29As long as you have the drive, there isn't a single door in this world close to you.
00:58:43I'm sorry, Mr. Sharma, but this position requires a completed bachelor's degree.
00:58:47Our background check shows you withdraw before completion.
00:58:49On paper, you only have a high school diploma.
00:58:55Watch where you're walking, man! I've got orders to drop in!
00:58:59Is this how my life ends up?
00:59:02Delivering takeout on a scooter? Living just like Maya did?
00:59:12It's over! Nobody will touch me!
00:59:14The second these firms here I don't have a degree, they won't even let me pass security!
00:59:20Aaron, please, drink some water. We'll take it one day at a time.
00:59:25One day at a time?!
00:59:27If you two hadn't pulled me out of university with your grand delusions of moving abroad,
00:59:30would I be in this gutter right now?
00:59:33I can't even get hired as a security guard!
00:59:36I didn't know Catherine was going to strike that fast.
00:59:39Everything I did was to give you a lavish future.
00:59:41A lavish future? You dragged me straight into this roach motel.
00:59:45When Catherine ran the house, everything was taken care of.
00:59:48Whatever we wanted, it was waiting on the table!
00:59:50How did our lives become this miserable?!
00:59:52When Catherine was there, I only saw her as an obstacle.
00:59:56Now I realize, without her, we were never anything at all.
01:00:05Your food.
01:00:07Priya?
01:00:08Mrs. Sharma?
01:00:15Cat.
01:00:16Catherine.
01:00:18You still recognize us?
01:00:20Seeing us scraping by at rock bottom?
01:00:22I bet you're loving every second of this.
01:00:25I don't have time to gloat over your misery.
01:00:27All I care about is giving Maya the life she deserves.
01:00:32To me, you're both complete strangers now.
01:00:39Mom.
01:00:41It's you.
01:00:43Maya?
01:00:44The person you wronged was never me.
01:00:46It was Maya.
01:00:47You stole 20 years of her youth and made her suffer through hell.
01:00:51You owe her a real apology.
01:00:56Maya, I'm so sorry.
01:00:59I let my jealousy of your mother turn me into a monster.
01:01:02I destroyed your education and stole your life.
01:01:05I am so, so sorry.
01:01:07Forgive me, child.
01:01:08It was all my fault.
01:01:10I took an incredible daughter-in-law and a brilliant granddaughter for granted.
01:01:14I deserve every bit of this misery.
01:01:18It's in the past.
01:01:20I have my mother now.
01:01:21And I'm living the life I want.
01:01:24You should go.
01:01:31Maya.
01:01:32I'm so proud of you for letting it go.
01:01:35Carrying hatred around only hurts the people who love me.
01:01:38It's not worth it.
01:01:43How was your first day of school?
01:01:44It was incredible.
01:01:46It was incredible.
01:01:46Mom, what are we eating tonight?
01:01:47I'm starving.
01:01:48I ordered that butter curry you've been craving.
01:02:03Lunch break, doctor.
01:02:04You can't work through every meal.
01:02:06Mom, you didn't have to bring me lunch again.
01:02:08I was going to grab something at the cafeteria.
01:02:16I'm sorry.
01:02:17Wrong room.
01:02:18You shouldn't be walking on that leg, sir.
01:02:20Let the doctor take a look.
01:02:22Please, have a seat.
01:02:26I'll see another doctor.
01:02:34You're a patient.
01:02:35I'll treat you like anyone else.
01:02:47I'm sorry.
01:02:49Maya.
01:02:51The wound isn't deep.
01:02:52Keep it dry for the next few days.
01:02:54And change the dressing regularly.
01:02:58Maya.
01:02:59Maya.
01:02:59My daughter.
01:03:00Next patient, please.
01:03:0225 years to call her your daughter.
01:03:04Too late.
01:03:06Catherine.
01:03:07Maya.
01:03:15You handled that well, Maya.
01:03:17You've become a wonderful doctor.
01:03:20You taught me to keep moving forward, Mom.
01:03:2825, doctor.
01:03:29Make a wish.
01:03:32I wish for my mother to live a long, healthy, and completely peaceful life.
01:03:40Sweetheart, you're supposed to make a wish for yourself.
01:03:43I have you, Mom.
01:03:44What else could I wish for?
01:03:46What else could I wish for?
