How did you try to do your kid?

Sneaky

bitch

just wanna meet that kid

over my dead

mom what's wrong

I'm okay sweetie

Sweetie, why do you ask?

You're hanging up my dirty jacket.

Huh?

Oh, um, you're right.

Mommy just had a rough day, but it's okay.

It happens to everyone.

I knew it.

Is it because of that crazy lady who grabbed you?

Sweetie, that was just a misunderstanding, okay?

There's nothing to worry about.

Ooh, looks relaxing.

Okay, I'll give you some space if I'm bothering you that much.

Maybe he needs a little surprise to perk him up.

Roxy, I need a teeny little saver.

What are you doing here?

I told your manager yesterday to fire your ass.

I just came here to get my things.

We have ten minutes, and then I'm calling security.

All done?

You can head to the locker room to change.

I knew that was you yesterday.

I knew that was you yesterday.

You know, I can never mistake you.

You look great.

I see you still get pretty near how.

Do this.

This is the women's locker room, and you're not dressed for it?

You know, if I recall, we've had some pretty good times in locker rooms.

He's going to be so sore when I'm done with him.

He's going to need another massage.

Justin, can you open the door?

I can't wait to get away from me.

Justin.

Stop.

Your body's telling me something.

Hey, you!

Get the key!

Get the key right now!

Hurry!

Johnny, I need you right now.

We have a huge problem.

Justin, snap out of it!

You know, I thought I was going to be an idiot for you, man.

Gross.

I miss you so much, you guys.

I miss you so much, you guys.

I thought this was a spa, not a whorehouse.

Speak, maid.

She's working as a maid?

What happened?

I need to go, excuse me.

Wait, but Brooke, please stay.

What?

Please.

Justin, she's been fired.

Persona non grata.

Oh, well, this is perfect.

You need a job, not a new physical therapist.

So consider yourself fired.

You'll be mine.

I mean, you'll be my physical therapist.

That's what I said.

No, absolutely not.

I'm sorry, but no.

Brooke, baby.

I heard you needed a ride.

After all these years, she's still with him?

Remember, you made a promise.

I'm sorry, Justin, but I can't take the job.

Why not?

It's a good job, and you get to do what you love.

It's a win-win.

Because I'm afraid I will fall in love with you again.

Brooke, what can you give me that I can't?

Brooke.

Hey, Brooke, come on.

Listen to me.

Brooke, I know you regret it.

I know you do, because you can't even stand to look at me right now.

Brooke, I know every single day that you wake up next to somebody else,

it kills you, and you wish it was me.

You wish it was still with me because you know that I take care of you

and you wouldn't have to clean toilets for a living.

Look, I'm sorry I said that.

I don't mean it like that, but Brooke, you don't understand.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Hey.

Uh, what's up, buddy?

You know what, sweetie?

Um, I'm sorry.

He's been calling everyone Daddy lately.

Noah, this is Mr. Justin Roy.

He's a very fancy, big swimmer.

Hey, bud.

I'm Justin Roy.

It's good to meet you.

You're my hero.

Oh, yeah?

Well, let's see.

We've got a future star here, right?

I want to swim just like you.

Mommy says you're the best swimmer of all time.

Wow, Mommy says that.

God, I hope he doesn't recognize that Noah is his child.

Um, Noah!

Sweetie, why don't you go wait in the car for Mommy?

Let's leave Mr. Justin alone.

He's very busy.

Bye, Justin!

Hey, later, Captain.

Good to meet you.

Well, it looks like you've been stuck in the end yesterday, huh?

Um, I watch it sometimes with Noah when you're on TV.

Such a kid.

Well, with that guy.

I got you this today.

Because me and you were supposed to be together forever.

Brooke!

Brooke, please, just hold on, okay?

Please!

Justin, you're his father.

Noah doesn't look like that idiot.

There's no way.

Could Noah be mine?

Well, it was really great to see you, Justin.

Good luck with everything in the future.

Thanks.

What's up, Finn?

Yo, about that personal therapist you wanted.

I've got a few great names, my brother.

Hey, you know what?

I've actually got somebody else in.

I saw Justin today.

He tried to ask me to work for him, but I said no.

I get it.

But for Noah's sake, maybe you should really consider it.

Let me welcome my...

No, I will find something else.

Mom, do you like Justin?

Hold on, I'm going to call you back.

Honey, where did that question come from?

He's so cool and tall.

We can swim together.

I wish he were my dad.

He is your dad.

I'm sorry, Noah.

Back.

Okay?

You bitch!

How much money do I have to give you to make you disappear for good?

Here's $500,000.

Leave town.

Leave the state.

Leave the country.

You leave my house now, or I'm calling the cops.

What do you want?

You already have Justin.

Is that not enough?

When you were gone, Justin and I were inseparable.

I was there for every swim, every win.

Yet he still managed to find you.

I didn't plan any of that.

Then why did you have that bastard kid?

If I find out that you contacted him a woman years ago and I let him out.

Oh.

And he offered me a therapy day.

You are not a walk.

Don't cause any trouble.

I'm warning you, you touch Noah once, and I'm coming for you.

Do you understand?

Leave.

What?

Excuse me, sorry.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

The home is sheltered in two buildings now.

What the fuck is she worried?

I have an interview with Mr. Finner.

Is this his office?

Finn Schaefer.

You want to see Finn.

You're cute.

I'm guessing I'm the type of person who breezes into Michelin star restaurants without a resi.

Please leave.

Mr. Schaefer.

You want to hear something funny?

This homeless woman said she had an appointment with you.

Don't worry.

I'm going to kick her out of my own boots.

Brooke Anthony?

Yes.

Follow me.

I have a task for you.

Yes, sir?

Pack your stuff up and never step back here again.

Got it?

Follow me.

You know, you were recommended quite highly.

Your resume must be stellar.

Recommended?

You haven't held a formal job in years.

I had to take any job I could to support my child.

Like what?

Like food delivery, cleaning services.

I work cashier at a convenience store sometimes.

Uber driver.

Um, I'm a mom.

There's nothing I can't do.

Um, just when serves elite athletes.

So without education or experience.

Sorry to say, but you don't seem very qualified.

I did have, uh, some training.

See no need.

Sorry for your time.

Brooke, I've never known you to give up that easy.

Justin, what are you doing?

Justin, our CEO.

Yes, Justin Roy.

Great to see you again.

Number one swimming champion of the world.

Mr. Roy has done ads for us.

He is a key partner.

Um, can I talk to you for a second?

Of course.

Wow, you really know how to charm the socks off, somebody.

Can you not laugh at me?

Okay, first you get me fired from the therapy center, and now you show up here?

Can you leave me alone?

Please, I'm begging you.

You know, you're a lot of feister than when we dated.

Fuck you.

You know, how come you don't wear a wedding ring?

No, I'm serious.

What, this Johnny guy never proposed to you?

All right, listen.

I was walking by Finn's office, and I heard the entire interview, okay?

What's with you doing all these, like, random part-time jobs?

You know, you left me for this Johnny guy, and you should be spending time with your kid,

instead of spending all your time cleaning toilets and doing door dash.

Enough!

Okay.

You know, I can still see the regret in your eyes.

Oh, fuck you.

Why don't you just sit there?

That Levy's mistake.

Listen.

Hey, listen.

I'm serious.

But don't you understand that your dream is not some far-off distant fairy tale?

It's right here, right now.

So why don't you quit being so hesitant and go in there and get what you deserve?

The only thing I regret is doing food deliveries instead of playing with my son.

Or so early in the morning to open a coffee shop that I'm too tired to study at night.

You have no idea.

Look.

You don't understand, so don't tell me what to do.

Okay, Brooke, I can't imagine how difficult it's been.

But this is your opportunity to do what you love.

And you deserve it.

So why don't you go in there and fight for it?

Quit being so scared.

Prove it.

I'm not scared.

Okay, prove it.

You know what?

I can't do this job.

Miss Anthony, other candidates have worked with Olympic champions.

Top-tier athletes.

So why should I hire an inexperienced mom?

Because there's no job harder than being a mom.

Raising a child means I have to be on call 24-7.

There's sicknesses randomly.

Accidents happen at any moment.

I have to be patient, calm, collected, ready for anything.

Speedy, okay?

There's nothing to worry about.

It's harder than working with any gold medalist.

I know I don't have the perfect resume.

But if you take a chance on me, I promise you won't regret it.

I can vouch for it.

Your technique was full of saying you would've done it.

I studied sports therapy while working part-time.

And I have these acute injury care, personal rehab programs, and more.

Brooke Anthony, welcome to Just Win Sports.

Happy birthday, Mom.

Congrats on the new job.

Thank you, baby.

That's so sweet.

Baby, I have some bad news.

We can't go to the playground today.

But I have a better idea.

How do you feel about going to the pool?

Was she just a Roy?

Yes, we will.

No work ID, no entry.

The CEO of JWS invited me to work this event.

Trying to use a kid to sneak in, huh?

Nice try.

No, I'm not lying.

I'm a sports therapist.

Better call your so-called CEO and have him come fetch you.

Justin, you're the CEO?

Justin!

Hey, buddy.

Oh, my God.

Swimming superstar Justin Roy.

Mr. Roy!

Is that the Papa?

Yes, this man is blocking my staff from entering the venue.

Since when am I your staff?

You know, if you want the job, just stay quiet, okay?

Sir, you've got to believe me.

This is fire!

So, after all these years, are you, uh, still my biggest fan?

I'm here to work for the CEO.

Get over it yourself.

Come on, Noah.

Oh, my God!

What?

All right, then.

Show us your back!

Yeah!

Give us more!

Okay.

We're all done here.

Bye!

I'm sorry, you know.

I didn't mean to distract you with my abs.

Hey, hold on.

Where do you think you're going?

No, you worked for me today.

This isn't exactly Employee of the Month behavior.

Okay, soon.

So, some brand is shipping me some jewelry.

I need you to sign for it.

All right.

I'm here to sign for a delivery.

You?

Mom, is this for Justin Collins?

You don't touch it, you dirty kid.

This is limited edition.

What is wrong with you?

Hey!

What do you think you're doing, huh?

Isn't this how you're praying to Hamlet's people?

I, um, total misunderstanding.

She was pretending to be sad.

I was joking.

You want to hear a joke?

Yeah.

You're fired.

Get out of here.

Right now.

Go!

Go!

Are you okay?

Sorry about that.

No, this is actually, uh, for you.

Happy birthday, bro.

You want to give me a hand real quick?

We'll bet.

Yeah, what do you think?

Pretty, right?

Take this out.

See how it works.

Beautiful.

You hear that, my little assistant?

It's your time with Shine.

I didn't get to work.

Well, come on.

You know, you're acting like this is your first time.

Don't act like you don't love every inch of my body.

I just need to knock.

Come on.

I almost forgot.

This birthmark?

Noah has one, too.

Justin!

We have the same birthmark.

What'd you say, buddy?

Alright, rolling.

Let's get ready for that.

Ready.

Oh, MG.

It's Justin, Roy.

He's even hotter in real life.

I know.

I knew he'd be ready.

I mean, he's muscles should be illegal.

Grandma.

Take a photo of us?

Yeah.

Excuse me?

Sorry.

I mean, you must be in your 40s, right?

You've got that fierce post-menopausal vibe.

Let's go, Noah.

It's okay.

We'll get like a full body shot, and then I'm going to stop at you.

Bro, bro, come on.

Hey, hey, hey, come on.

There's no need to be jealous.

Oh, keep dreaming.

I'm calling your boss, by the way, because I'm a sports therapist.

I'm not your damn assistant.

No, listen.

Just talk to me, okay?

You don't need to call anyone.

All right, bro, just listen.

Wait.

You tricked me.

No, I didn't.

All I did was recommended you, but you got the job all on your own.

Okay, what do you think?

I'm not trying to hurt you.

I'm just trying to help.

Help?

Yes.

Do you think that you're helping me?

You made me look like a desperate fool.

Do you think that you're being noble by pulling the strings and using your power?

It makes me feel like all my effort is just, it's worth nothing.

Bro, do you think that I recommended you because I didn't believe in you?

Or because I'm some monster that's trying to humiliate you?

No, I found out.

I don't.

It doesn't matter at all.

Okay?

I don't think it's a good idea to see you anymore.

Come on, no one else.

Come on, bro.

Don't say things like that.

Brooke!

Brooke!

Noah!

Noah!

Whoa.

Looks like you had a long day.

I can watch Noah if you want to take a bath and drink a glass of wine.

No, um...

No, I don't want to relax.

I need to get drunk.

It's idiotic, Justin.

Why would you make her, of all people, your...

You still think it's eight years ago?

Justin, she has a kid.

Seven years old.

I know.

She's doing all of it to survive.

I just want to see him suffer.

You have been single for eight years because of her.

And she doesn't even know.

Now you want to give it a shot?

She won't even look at you.

I'm in love, man.

It sucks.

It sucks.

Look.

Babe, why didn't you wait for me?

I told you I was going to join you.

I want some time by myself.

Excuse me.

What are you staring at?

I'll be right back.

Wow, Brooke.

Ditched your kid to go drinking?

Very classy.

Where'd you get that dress?

Whore as R.S.

Hey, gorgeous.

Have I had a drink?

Nothing.

I'm good.

Don't be shy.

I'm sure by now you've slept with plenty.

What's your rate?

What's your fucking mouth?

Justin, boy!

Superstar loses it in public!

I didn't go viral!

Justin, you are one second away from ruining your reputation.

I don't care.

I'd like to let some asshole be disrespectful to a lady.

Can I take you, man?

Everything all right in there?

All right, Brooke.

I'm coming in.

I don't know if you want me to stay, but if you want me to leave, then I can leave.

Do whatever you want.

It doesn't matter me.

Well, eight years.

Eight years I searched everyone in the world for you.

Just so you could say that to me.

You searched for me?

Yeah, I did.

Brooke, you kissed somebody right in front of my face, and then you left me.

At a point in our relationship where I actually felt like we were the strongest.

And so, you know what?

Yeah.

I had some questions.

Justin, you really...

You really don't know anything.

Yeah, I know I don't know anything.

I don't know why you left.

I don't know what happened after you left.

I don't know why you're taking care of Noah by yourself.

But I want to know.

I care about you, Brooke.

Justin, if I tell you the truth now, it will only hurt me more.

Are you still my happy for eight years ago?

Can you blame me?

I feel like I have every right to be.

I guess we can call it even.

Because you hurt me then, but I messed up now.

I shouldn't have lied about my business or the fact that I was the CEO.

Justin will never leave me again.

I'm sorry.

You got your shirt?

So how can I forget you?

I got my throat when I show that.

I'm going to wash it.

Okay.

See, I was here thinking that maybe you were still obsessed with my perfect body, but...

Good morning.

Justin, I don't know.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Sure.

What's his?

This.

It's my good luck, child.

I wait for everybody's.

I think we need to keep things professional.

Separate work from the past.

Thank you for respecting my boundaries.

No problem.

You got a deal.

Brooke, maybe one day you'll let me back in, and you can tell me what really happened.

Whether it was eight years ago or now, you've always shined like a story.

What?

What do you want?

That's an shotgun, right?

We'd love to give it a try.

Especially with the vibrations.

We wouldn't mind a hands-on session, either.

Roxy said you were pretty good.

Roxy?

So, who's better?

Us?

Or that swimming superstar, Justin?

Don't touch me.

Why don't we go in the pool?

We can show you how to do some strokes.

No, stop.

I can't swim.

This isn't funny.

Get your fucking hands off of her.

You're finished, Justin.

I'm reporting you to the coach.

I'll call the coach and tell him for you.

Fuck off.

You okay?

Yeah.

Still can't swim, huh?

Can't swim?

I wish someone had told me sooner.

I still don't know how to swim.

But eight years, I have acquired a little survival kit.

I have disinfectant, gauze, band-aids.

You name it, I have anything.

Going anywhere with Noah means I just have to be prepared.

So you really have been taking care of Noah all by yourself all these years?

No, actually, my best friend, Carol, she's been there with me for everything.

I bet you're the best mom.

Yeah, Noah, he's my everything.

But look at you.

You're a superstar swimmer, a CEO.

I mean, you made all your dreams come true.

No, I didn't.

Do you have practice later today?

No.

Why, you want to take me on a date?

Don't flatter yourself.

I have shopping and laundry for Noah.

Does that feel good?

What are you hiding from me?

If I tell you now, it will only hurt more.

Justin, the president of the swim club is here to see you and he seems really upset.

I'll be right back.

I'm starting to think you actually want to ruin Justin's career.

I need this job, that's all.

You bitch.

One more threat?

And I'm telling Justin everything about your dirty little deal with Johnny.

That's what you get, bitch.

Drown!

Drown!

Brooke, Brooke, hey!

Brooke, hey!

Hey, it's okay.

I'm right here.

Johnny, do you remember Justin's stalker that we got a restraining order on?

Yeah.

I need you to contact her.

Right now.

Hey, hold on.

Hey, Brooke, Brooke, hey!

Let me take you home.

No, Justin, we agree that this was strictly professional.

Okay, but...

Brooke, hey!

Screwed it up again?

No, no, since then, Ray.

I need to know what happened after she left.

So I did some digging...

on Johnny...

for you, sir.

He's here every night at night.

But...

has the discount on bread.

Fuck.

No, I thought the discount was loaded.

When he picked up Brooke, he was in Rolls Royce.

How's he buying stale bread?

He's cheating on Brooke.

See, I knew there was something going on.

Daddy, I want chocolate bread.

Did he just say daddy?

Daddy, can I have chocolate bread, too?

He's got two kids.

Well, I wonder if Brooke knows that he has a secret family.

Hey, remember me?

You lied to Brooke.

Johnny, you're dabbling again?

I don't even know who this guy is.

I swear on my mother.

Oh, cut the act.

I saw you come and take Brooke away.

Who the hell is Brooke?

I was...

I'm an actor.

I was acting.

I was paid.

It was all fake.

You were acting?

You better not be lying to me, okay?

When did you and Brooke break up?

Okay.

When did you and Brooke break up?

Break up?

What?

I never dated.

Yes, you were.

You kissed her and then you took her away from me.

Who are you kissing, Johnny?

That kiss?

That kiss?

It was a camera angle trick.

Okay, and the car isn't even mine.

You think I drive for rolls?

That's my boss's rolls.

I'm out here trying to buy half-priced bread.

Baby, come on.

You know me.

Okay, what about her son?

No.

I don't know who the kid's me.

Well, whose kid is he?

What, am I supposed to believe that he's an actor, too?

I just follow orders, all right?

But Roxy told me, like, I can stop pretending.

All right?

She said tonight, Brooke is through.

Roxy said?

Yeah.

Where is Brooke?

They said they were taking her to some outskirts warehouse, something on March Street.

Okay.

Brooke is in danger.

Go get the car.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Oh, shit.

Brooke, right?

Let's get one thing straight.

No one stands Justin harder than I do.

So you better back off, because he is already taken by me and Roxy.

And don't even try to compete.

You'll never measure up to our greatness.

Oh, my God.

Justin.

Drop her.

You're defending her?

You.

You.

Bitch.

Hey.

Justin.

Hey, you're safe.

Are you insane?

You're bleeding.

Hey, just a scratch.

You okay?

And that's what matters.

You're losing so much blood.

Well, it's nice to know you actually do care about me.

Hey.

You sure you're okay?

Yes.

Stop worrying about me.

You got hurt way worse than I did.

Okay?

Stop trying to be some tough superstar.

You see this?

It's nothing.

Okay.

Don't believe me?

Watch it.

What?

Stop!

Are you crazy?

You better get more hurt.

Get me down!

Hey, a little pain is worth it if it means it.

It's good to protect you.

Okay, we are here now.

You can put me down.

Justin, I just, I want to thank you for saving me.

Brooke, I'm really sorry because all this started because of me.

Oh, come on.

You can't blame yourself.

You should go get some rest.

Brooke, can I ask you one thing?

Please be honest with me.

You never dated that Johnny Gummy.

Right?

What?

Brooke, why aren't you telling me?

I'm serious.

I mean, who is Noah's father?

Look who's here.

I have a right to know and you can tell me.

Justin!

Justin!

Hey, buddy.

Mommy, you're hurt.

Oh, no, Mommy's okay.

It was just a tiny little accident.

Yeah, sometimes massages can be dangerous.

Thank you for rocking me home.

It was very sweet of you.

Good night.

The two of you had dinner.

We're about starving, right, Noah?

Yes.

Mr. Roy's very busy.

No, we haven't eaten anything yet.

I could get a steak out.

Mom, let Justin stay.

Please?

Fine.

He can stay for just a little snack.

But then it's right to bed.

It's getting late.

Okay?

Oh, no.

The posters.

Whoa.

Wow.

Are we in your place or mine?

That one's from your world championship.

And that one's from your LA club.

We always watch you on TV.

You do?

Wow, so it looks like I've been on your mind this whole time.

Very interesting.

Look at this.

These are from my swim meets.

Hey, look at you with all these medals.

Very impressive.

Must be genetic.

Uh, yeah.

My coach says I'm going to be a superstar, just like you.

Yeah, you're going to be even better than me.

You've got great genes from your mom.

Mommy doesn't swim, silly.

Maybe I got it from my dad.

Yeah, yeah.

Maybe.

Let's go play.

Come on.

Noah looks just like him.

Justin's not blind.

He'll figure it out.

It's not that I don't want to tell him, I just don't know how.

Then tell him now.

Justin deserves to know.

And so does Noah.

It's not that easy.

Brooke, what are you running away from?

You guys are so cute.

Hey, Brooke.

Mom, I'm tired.

I want to sleep.

I should head out.

Okay.

Justin, can you stay?

Read me a story.

Oh, Noah, it's late.

Mr. Roy has to go home.

You know, I got some time.

I'll stay.

I'll read you a story, but only if your mom says it's okay.

Sure.

Yeah.

Get out.

What are we reading?

My mom's favorite.

Can you read it?

Of course I can.

Yeah.

The giving tree.

Once, there was a tree.

And she loved a little boy.

See?

It is fun.

And every day, the boy would come.

He would gather up her leaves.

And he would make them into crowns of like you know the forest.

And he would climb up her trunk.

And he would swim from her branches.

Brooke, I've imagined we stay for so long.

Reading our child, our favorite stories.

Then he would walk around her.

She had just got to go.

She said, oh.

I'm so worried.

Duke would walk around her.

Hope could walk around her.

You can just see.

Brooke, eight years ago I made a decision, okay?

And I, why won't you let me talk to you?

It's all too late.

Brooke, when you left, I could have forgotten all about you.

I could have went and lived an extravagant wild life, but I didn't.

And I search for you every single day.

So you're blaming me now?

You're regretting the life that you gave up?

Justin, you should just go back to Roxy.

No, because I don't want that. I want to be here with you.

Why don't you just let me stay tonight?

Just tonight.

Please?

I mean, it could just be for your own safety, you know?

I don't want some crazed van coming in and knowing you.

You're messing things up.

Whatever you want.

I want this more than anything, Justin.

But the time has passed.

And it's getting late.

We should get some sleep.

You can feel free to take the cup.

That's what you want.

Sleep well.

Okay.

Justin.

You might eat that.

Thanks.

I wish you were here.

Help!

Noah!

What is all of this?

Oh, the chicken monster decided to come over for breakfast.

It is over!

All right, tell your mama.

We made you an All-America breakfast.

Oh, wow.

I didn't know the superstar swimmer could cook up a breakfast.

Well, he was the cock.

I was just...

We made you a dinosaur pancake just for you, mommy.

Oh, thank you, baby.

That's very sweet.

No, the food is really good.

You should try it.

I have to change first, but I will.

Thumbs up.

I think mommy would like to breakfast.

Yeah, put this on.

Yo.

Remembering physical today.

Oh, crap.

You're right.

Um, no, I'll be right there.

Thanks.

Hey, dude, I, um...

I just gotta run.

I gotta go to the swimming hall for...

Oh.

But it's all right.

Look, after...

I promise you, we'll go on our swimming lesson.

All right?

I'll be back.

I'm ready.

I'll tell Justin everything.

Justin left already.

But he said we can go see him after breakfast.

He's back!

No.

You're a single mother with nothing.

Roxy can get Justin Thurston

This has nothing to do with Roxy

Justin got to where he is with his own talent

He should go

Alright, you ready?

Check him out

Let's do some stretches

First time, right arm

Nice

And the other arm

Nice

Alright, cut this one

Go over your back

There you go

Hey

How's the arm?

Oh, it's great

It's practically healed

Take it easy

Yeah, be careful

Watch out

How's breakfast?

Wasn't it so great?

Wasn't it perfect?

It was good

I wouldn't call it Michelin level

But it was something

Did I get a gold star?

Maybe

See, leaving me was a big mistake

Because

You could eat like that

Every single day

If you wanted to

Aren't you supposed to be stretching?

Keep stretching

You know, we're gonna do some butterflies

So you gotta be ready

I'm gonna go get the massage oil

Okay

How you feeling?

Feeling warm?

What's this?

What's this?

You got a

A proof mark?

I saw yours in the commercial suit

We match

Uh, stay right here

And wait for your mom, okay?

Hi

Who are you?

I'm your mommy's friend

She asked me to look after you

While she works

Do you wanna go play?

Noah?

Justin?

Noah!

Noah?

Noah?

Hello?

I told you I wasn't playing around

Mommy!

Roxy?

Where's Noah?

Okay, fine

For now

But I want you to get out of our lives

I want you to quit working for Justin

And say your goodbyes

If you tell him that I have Noah

Or call the police

I can't promise that you'll ever see Noah again

You bitch!

You lay one hand on him and I will

Or what?

Let me know when you're on your way out of town

Wait!

But

You sure he's your kid?

Oh yeah

The kid's got the same birthmark

He loves swimming

It's a perfect match

I can't believe that I have a son

And she didn't tell me that

So how do you not tell somebody that?

You need to talk to her

Clear the air

I'm sure there's a reason

Justin, I need to see you

It's urgent

Brooke

Hey

You okay?

Justin, I need to tell you something

Brooke, I know everything

Okay, I know everything

And it makes complete sense

Why you have those posters in your room

Why Noah's a better swim

Than half the guys on his team

And we have matching birthmarks

Brooke, I want you to know

That I'm going to be the best father

In the world for Noah

I'm leaving town tomorrow

I just came to hand in my resignation

Hey, what?

Did you not hear anything I just said?

I

I can't

I can't do this

I know that Noah's my child

And I think it's amazing

But I want to be right by your side

You don't have to run away from anything

Um

I wish

I wish I could tell you everything

But

If you could tell me anything

Whatever it is

Whether it's money

She has him

Who has him?

Roxy

She has Noah

I don't know

I don't know where she took him

But she has him

Roxy took Noah

Yeah

Okay, well then we need to call the police

That's exactly what we have to do

Oh my god

Well then we have to call the police

No, no, no, no

We can't call the police

Because she said that if I call the police

Or if I even talk to you

Look at me

It's going to be okay

I promise you

We're going to get him back

I promise you

Justin, I never forgot you

The reason why I left

Eight years ago

Was because Roxy

She blocked me

Hey, well listen

It's all in the past

Okay, but right now

We just have to focus

On Noah

It's going to be okay

Well, it's probably not a good idea

For us to meet in public

We've got to find somewhere

More like secure

Somewhere private

We can't go to my place

They're probably watching

And waiting for you to come over

And Carol's there right now

So they probably think I'm home

And they probably got my place

Scattered out too

You know

Hey, Roxy

Um, Brooke randomly quit today

Yeah, I know

But she didn't give me a reason

She's just

I don't know

She's gone

Okay, great

Well, I've got practice

So I gotta go

Alright, bye

She bought it

Oh, okay

Thank you

Yeah, we got it

Looking for Noah's whereabouts

And listen

Roxy is crazy

But I don't think

She'd hurt Noah

So I can't take any chances

With that

Justin, Noah

He's my entire life

And if Roxy did anything to him

I don't

Yeah

Do you trust me?

Yeah, good

But then I promise you

By this time tomorrow

Noah's gonna be back

And everything's gonna be alright

Seriously, thank you so much, Justin

I could not do this without you

Of course

Thank you

Well, I should probably, um

Sleep here tonight

Yeah, just in case anything happens

I don't miss you

Just try and get some sleep

Who are you?

I want my mommy

Shh

Noah, be quiet

I can't wake her

See your mommy today

What are you doing out of your room?

Go back there right now

I swear

That kid is more annoying

Than just a bitch of a mother

Roxy, I feel terrible

I feel terrible about this

If the police find out

We'll go to prison

Oh, shut up, Grace

If it weren't for me

And my connections

You'd still be working at Subway

Paying off your husband's debts

Yes, but don't worry

I won't tell anyone

That it was actually you

Who fudged the numbers

On your husband's business reports

Something like that

Might land you in jail

I did that for my son

So we could pursue his dream

Don't worry

Once I give the kid back to her

She'll be gone for good

She's already agreed

To stop working for Justin

So, smooth sailing

From here on out

You've got a lot of room

Showing up here

What, had to see him one last time?

Where's Noah?

Don't worry

You'll see him soon enough

Justin and I are boarding

Private Jet after the race

As soon as he's on the airplane

He'll get your little pipsqueak back

Thanks, Foxy

Why are you thanking me?

I'm literally holding

Your cute hostage right now

Because

You made me realize

I can finally move on

From Justin

I realized he's not

The man for me

Aww

I knew you'd come around

See?

People can change

Yeah

He's such a big athlete

He doesn't have time for it

He doesn't need that

Exactly

Alright, well I have some paperwork

To take care of

So

Enjoy his last race

Or

His last race

You'll ever see

Hey, hey

Mike found him

He's being kept at my mom's house

Yeah

Hmm?

Grace's

Grace's house

Why would she be a part of this?

Because Roxy probably blackmailed her too

Yeah

It's gonna be okay

Are you sure that this plane is gonna work?

Yes

We've gone over it a thousand times

It's bulletproof

I just want him back

Just a little bit longer, okay?

Alright

There we go

Eight years ago

Justin Roy

Burst onto the scene

Today

He's going to break his own world record

And possibly take home the Laureus Award

Justin, any expectations for today's race?

Lots of fans out there

Anything to say to them?

Uh, yes

I would like to thank all of them

Because it's their love that keeps me going

Thank you

Thank you

The exciting game is about to begin

Can he break his own record

And create a new myth?

Ready

Go Justin

Woo

That was my man

Justin Roy is chasing his own legend

Alright, final 10 meters

Get the fish

And Justin Roy just broke the new world record

Woo

Let's go Justin

That's my man

What?

We're at the swim hall

Okay, good

Just stay there until I tell you to come in

As soon as Justin gets on the plane

She can get her kid back

No one needs to use the bathroom

Tell him to hold it

Child, Roxy

Jesus Christ, Grace

I said no

Just stick to the plan

Go Justin

Woo

I really need to go

Okay

We'll go and then we'll come back to the car

Yay

Jesse, congratulations

Beth, congratulations on breaking the world record

How do you feel?

I feel great

Thank you

Congratulations

Thank you very much

Woo

Woo

Yes

Babe

I am so proud of you

You did amazing

Now can we get through this award ceremony thing quick?

Because we have a plane to catch

Come on

Mommy

Mommy

Baby, oh my god, you're okay

Of course I am

Why wouldn't I be?

I know Noah's my grandson

How could you do this?

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

She's blackmailing me too

It's taken now

It's okay, she can leak information about me

It's okay, she can leak information about me

Can you be a brave big boy for a little bit longer?

Of course

Of course

Okay, you're going to go with Grace back to the car

And wait for Miss Roxy to come and get you

Are you sure?

Just take him

If I take him now, she's just going to keep doing this

We need to end it once and for all

Let's go back to the car

And then we'll be back with your mommy real soon

Where's Justin?

He's showering and then he's boarding the plane

He agreed not to go to the awards ceremony tonight

Time to make a delivery

Thanks for your help, Grace

Bye, Grace

Bye, Noah

Oh, look, there's your mommy

Can't wait to never see the two of you again

Hey, answer your phone, I've got your kid

You should make sure Brooke Smith's friend isn't an FBI agent

Before he kidnapped her child, babe

Back off

Or I'll kill this little bastard

No, don't do that

Don't you touch him

Oh, I've got some news for you

This kid is Justin Roy's son

And he's been keeping him

Justin, is this true?

Is that your son?

Were you hiding a secret marriage?

Are you the mother?

Are you trying to use this trial for me?

Justin, see something

Who are you?

I'm Justin's mother

And I have something to say

Of course I knew

From the very start I knew about Brooke and Noah

But this is not some scandal

It's a family

What the hell, Grace?

What are you doing?

You're obviously selling you are under arrest

And not being in extortion

Well played

But I'm not done yet

You know, I have another surprise for you

I contacted your ex

From before Justin

He sold me a little tape

Of the two of you getting frisky together

I'm sure everyone's gonna love

Seeing that Justin Roy's baby mama

Is a slut

I destroyed the file

I canceled the upload

It was a deep fake anyway

Everyone would figure it out sooner or later

Yeah

It's over, Roxy

So you want me to tell the police

About your little business dealings, huh?

Go ahead

After what you've done

Years of blackmailing Brooke

Keeping my son away from his own child

I swear I will make sure you rot

In that prison for the rest of your miserable life

You lied, Roxy

You know, I would have rather not had a career at all

If I knew you were gonna do this to the people that I love

Take her away

Let me go!

Let me go!

I'm so sorry for everything

Because of me

No one ever got to meet his father until now

Mom, is Justin really my dad?

Baby, there's something I've been meaning to tell you, okay?

Justin is your dad

Really?

Afraid so

Come here

But that's only if

You'll let me be your father

Does this mean you'll take me swimming every day?

Yes

And make breakfast for my mommy every morning?

Of course

Will you move in with us?

I will

But you gotta make one promise to me, too

What?

Promise me you'll read a bedtime story with me every now

Okay, deal?

You can be my dad

Give me a hug, buddy

I'm hungry

Maybe Grandpa

Can make you a snack

And say, let's go

Justin, I'm sorry

It's okay

We did it

Roxy

She made me and Johnny pretend to be a couple

And she tried to get me to abort the baby

And get me to quit my job because

Brooke

Your sacrifice gave me this life

You're the most selfless person I've ever met

And I'm gonna treat you like a queen for the rest of your life, okay?

Okay

All right

Let's go to this award ceremony

I'm ready for the world to meet the woman who made me the greatest swimmer

And the proudest father in the world

This year's glorious award goes to

Justin Roy

Congratulations, young man

I'd like to take a moment to thank two very special people

Who have supported me along the way

And that is Brooke and our son Noah

Brooke, I've waited eight years to give you this

And there's only one thing left to say

Brooke, will you marry me?

It's your lucky rank

You've always been my luck, Brooke

Chuck, say yes! Chuck, say yes! Chuck, say yes! Chuck, say yes! Chuck, say yes!

Yes, yes, of course

Yes? Yes

Come here, buddy.

Come here, buddy.

Lap by lap, I swear it back to you.

Hi, I'm Evan Adams, and I play Justin Roy in Lap by Lap.

The greatest swimmer in the world.

Thanks for that.

It's great to come here.

Check it out, exclusively on Drama League.

Try the words.

I'm like you to run by tys Oops.

I'm like you to run by Sony.

I'm going to run by Kaleakata in the world.

It's beautiful.

We're going to lose.

We're going to lose.

We're going to be running.

We're going to lose.

We're going to lose.
