(gentle music)

- Rose!

Rose, sweetie,
you're gonna be late.

- Yeah, coming!
- Uh-huh!

(chuckles)

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

That goes for you, too.
- Heh.
- Oh, hey.

- Whoop.
- Excuse me.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Did you get everything?
- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.
- Hope you have a great day,
kiddo.

- Hmm, hmm.
- All right, saddle up.
Let's go!

- Okay.
- Let's go, let's go.
- Okay, whoa.

(door clicks open)

(gentle music continues)

(school bell rings)

(indistinct chatter)

- Hi, chloe! Say hi
to your mom, okay?

- Will do!

- Come here!
- Mom!

- Oh, come on!
Mwah, mwah, mwah.

- Bye.

- Have a good day, you two!

Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.

- Anyone else?

(pencil scratching)

- Rose? Rose?

- Huh?

- Come on, what other traits
come from your parents,

Besides inability
to concentrate?

(scoffs)
- uh...

I dunno.

Dress sense.
(students chuckle)

- I'll put that down
as aesthetic sensibility.

Also sense of humor.

- Now, class, for next week,
we need two examples

For five trait categories,

And I want you to go
into great detail in this.

- Hey.

You okay?

- Yeah.

I guess he didn't know.

- If it's any consolation,

I don't think I've inherited
anything from my parents.

- What about
your mom's tenacity?

- You mean I can be annoying?

(laughs)

- Well, I think I inherited
my mom's anxiety.

Don't need chance for that.

- See? It's all nurture, baby.

(fingers snap)

- See ya.
- Bye.

(engine starts)

- Hey.
- Hello.

- How was school?
- It was all right.

- Well, I have a little
surprise for you.

- What is it?

- Hmm... You'll like it.

It'll be fun.
(laughs)

- Mom, tell me!

- It'll be good, I promise.

(chuckles)

(rifle pops)
- oh.
- Oh, that was close!

(rifle pops)

- Oh, they're such tiny targets.

- Okay, you know what?
It's a lot harder than it looks,
so uh...

- Okay, well let me have a try.
- Mm-hmm.

- Hold this, please.

- Go, z!

- Well, let's just see.

- Okay, you have to line
up the... This one.

- Oh, okay, okay.

(rifle pops, target clangs)

(chuckling)

(rifle pops, target clangs)

(rifle pops, target clangs)

(winner bell dings)
- ah!

- Geez, mom, I didn't know
you were a crack shot!

- I cannot believe
what I just saw!

- And look what I just won!

- Beginner's luck.
(laughs)

- Hey. Anyone have a sudden
hankerin' for popcorn?

- I do.
- I wanna see if mom can
win me a new phone case.

- Oh, well, I have
been summoned.

- All right, well,
I'll meet you over there.

- Nice shooting, zara.

(clicks tongue) (laughs)

Oh, thanks, babe.

Hmm.

So, are you nervous?

- For what?

- Your exams.
What else?

- Oh, no, I'm gonna ace them.

- Okay.

I don't know, you just seemed...

...A little quiet maybe,
in the car earlier.

- So, we started learning
about genetics in biology.

- Oh.

I see.

- Yeah, I dunno,
it just made me wonder again.

- Look, I know we've talked
about it before.

We just don't have
any information on your birth
parents.

- Well, there's gotta
be a way to find them.

- Of course, I just don't want
you getting distracted during
your exams.

- Mom.

- Look, I am not saying never,
just...

...Not right now.

- Okay.

- Hey, I did have something
else I wanted to tell you.

So, if you buckle down
at school,

There might just be a new car

To go along with
those driving lessons.

- You don't have to do that.

- Of course, it's your birthday!

I thought you'd be pumped!

- No, I am! I am!

Really, and
you've got yourself a deal.

- Okay.

- Oh, we love you.

- Thanks, mom.

So, there's this website
where I can find my biological
parents.

Except for me to get anywhere,

I need to find
my adoption papers.

And for me to get those...

- You need to speak
to your parents.

They still dodging?

- You know my mom.
- Try your dad.

He's more chill, right?

We all have to have meetings
with her today.

- What? Why?

- One-on-ones with the new
guidance counselor.

- So, that's who she is.

Sweet! You can use a little
bit of guidance.

(chuckles)

- Hi! Come on in.

(clears throat)

- Take a seat.

You must be rose miller.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I'm miss adams,
but you can call me hayley.

And my role here is to help you
plan some future goals.

Sound good?

- Great!
- Yeah.
(chuckles nervously)

- Why don't we start with you
telling me a little bit about
yourself.

- Uh, my name's rose.

You already knew that.

Um, I wanna go to college,

Major in molecular biology.

- That's so exciting!

Well, I've seen your grades,

So there's nothing
to worry about on that end.

Um, what about a social side?

- Good. Yeah, I have
my circle of friends.

Chloe and I, we're pretty close.

- Yeah, chloe,
she mentioned you.

It was so cute.

It-it's like
you're two peas in a pod.

(chuckles)

- Is there anything going
on, on the family side?

- Good.

- Anything you wanna
get off your chest?

- No.

(chuckles nervously)

- Okay.

Um...

Well, we're gonna meet again
in a few days,

So if you wanna come in
with some things you'd like
to achieve

By the end of semester,
we can make a plan.

- Great, yeah,
that sounds great.

Hmm.
Are we done?

- Yeah.
(chuckles)

(concerning music)

(gentle music)

(phone beeping)

- Hey, honey, I'm gonna jump
on your computer a sec for
a recipe.

(nervous music)

- What was that?

- Oh, nothing, I was just gonna
look up a recipe,

But I am just going
to improvise.

- Okay.
I'll be upstairs if you need me.

- Sure thing.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Can I have a minute?
- Uh, can it wait?

My inbox is up
to five figures, so.

- Rose is playing
detective again.

- Hmm?

- Her birth parents?

- Oh.

- Uh, I mean I told her
we don't have any details.

- Would you believe that?

- It's the truth.

- She doesn't want the truth.

She wants support
and understanding.

- Well then, can you
go talk to her?

- Yeah, absolutely,
just let me--

- Huh, you know what? I'm gonna
head up there right now.

- That'd be great.

(footsteps tap, approaching)

- Yeah?

- Hey, kiddo.

- Hey!

- I hear you've been on
that quite a bit lately.

- I knew mom was snooping!

- Well, she's just looking
out for you.

- Don't stick up for her.

- I'm afraid it's my job!

When I'm not sticking up
for you, kiddo.

- Hey, I just, I want you
to know

You can always come
to us.

Okay? Whatever it is you need
or wanna know.

(scoffs)
- I'm not sure
mom feels the same.

- She does.

She's just a little scared,
that's all.

I mean, it's bad enough
you're off to college next year.

She doesn't wanna
be left behind.

- Okay, I would never do that.

- I know!
So, just reassure her.

And if you want us to dig out
the adoption papers, we will.

Just stay off those websites.

They're just after your money.

(chuckles)

- Deal?

- Okay, deal.

(door clicks open)

- I think we got off
on the wrong foot last time.

Our last meeting felt
a little awkward.

Shall we try again?
- Sure.

- First things first,
come this way.

Come on!
- Okay.
(chuckles)

- This is
my favorite tea.

It's really good when
you need to think.

- So, I know last time

You seemed a little bit
uncomfortable

Talking with a guidance
counselor,

And I totally get that.

So, ask me whatever you'd like.

- Okay.
Um...

I dunno, did you always
wanna be a guidance counselor?

- I actually wanted to be
a dancer,

But that didn't work out.

- I'm sure you could
still make it.

(chuckles)

- That's very nice of you,

But that ship has sailed,
my friend.

Talent, money, men.
Huh.

- What about men?

- Hmm, where do I even start?

Many a man has gotten
in the way.

What about you?
Any boys in the way?

- Oh, no.
No.

- Go on.

- Okay, there's like...

...A few prospects.

- Oh, prospects, okay.

(chuckles)
how does that feel?

- Yeah, like you don't know.

- I wouldn't.

I um... I was a bit of
a goof in high school.

Kind of a loner.

I was adopted and...

...Before that,
we moved around a lot.

- I'm adopted.

- You were?

- Yeah.

But I've been living with
my parents my whole life.

- Well, that's good.

- I mean, we have our moments.

- What is it?

- Just lately,
I've been wondering about
my biological parents.

- What do you know?

- Nothing.

But I want to.

I just feel guilty.

- No.

There's nothing for you
to feel guilty for, ever.

So, who's taking it worse,
mom or dad?

- I thought my mom would level
with me,

But she distracted me
with a car.

- She probably just needs time.

(sighs)
- yeah, but I've...

...Waited my whole life.

- Well, have you told her?

Oh, no, you need to tell her.

I know that it might make you
feel awkward,

But you have a right
to know.

- I mean, dad says she's scared.

- He could be right.

She might be scared
of sharing you.

- Yeah, that makes sense.

- I'm sorry for the other day.

Sometimes it just takes me
a while to open up to people.

- To tell you the truth,
I was very intimidated.

- By me?
- Mm-hmm.

I was like, what on earth
am I gonna tell this girl

That she doesn't already know?

(chuckles lightly)

(school bell rings)

- Hmm.

- So, when can we do this again?

(phone chimes)

(footsteps tap, approaching)

- Well, that's like
the 10th time this morning.

Is there something you're not
telling us?

If it's a boy,
he must really like you!

- What boy?
- It's not a boy.

It's just hayley.

- Who's hayley?
- My new guidance counselor.

- Oh.
- Oh, I'm gonna get my backpack.

Don't wanna be late.

- Well, at least
she's eager to get to school.

- Right? You don't think
that's a little weird

For her counselor
to be messaging her all morning?

- Ah, as long as it's sent
to her school email,
what's the harm?

- I guess.

Hmm.

- I uh... I think he likes you.

- No, there's no way.
He hasn't even talked to me.

- Really?

- Do you mind if I sit here?

- Sure.

- Rose, we have softball.

- We have time.

- What's up with her?

- Um, you're not really
like other teachers.

- Oh, thank god!
(chuckles)

- It's awesome
you chose this school.

- It's awesome that I got
such a star student.

Your parents did a great job.

- Yeah.

Yeah.
I uh, I guess they have.

- Are you still feeling guilty?

You know, I can help you find
your birth parents, if you want.

- You can?

- Yeah!

- I dunno.

Like, what if they...

...Don't want me in their lives?

- What mom wouldn't want
someone like you in their life?

(sentimental music)

(phone pings)

- Hmm.
- What is it?

- Oh, just a school trip
to the observatory.

Rose is gonna be late.

She said not to worry because
hayley is giving her a lift.

The infamous guidance counselor?

- Oh, right.
- They're joined at the hip.

- Could be worse.

- Hmm.

- You coming?

- I think I'm gonna wait up.

(glass clinks on table)

- Night.

- Yeah, night.

(inhales and exhales deeply)

(concerning music)

(keys clacking)

(message sent beeps)

Come on, rose.

(sighs)

(car rumbles, approaching)

- ...About everything.
- Yeah.

- I know.
- Okay.

- Do you have any idea
what time it is?

- Mom, I told you
we'd be out late.

- No, this is completely
unacceptable.

- Okay, mom, chill.
- No, I will not chill!

- Hayley, I'm so sorry.
- No, it's fine, it's fine.

Your mom's clearly had
just a stressful day.

- Okay, you know,
you're not fooling me with
this cool teacher act.

I'm not some naïve student.
And you bombarding my daughter

With messages
is highly inappropriate.

- Bombarding?
- Yes.
- Okay, mom!

- No, get inside.

- Mom, no!

- I will deal with you later.

You know, if you wanna hang out
'til all hours,

Just find someone
your own age to do it with.

- Rose, you know what?
I'm just gonna... I'm gonna go.

- Yeah.
- No, hayley, please!
- No, it's unprofessional.

She is your student,
not your friend.

- She's not my friend.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- She's my daughter!

(trembling breath)
I'm sorry, what?!

- I...

Oh, I'm sorry um...

I'm just gonna go.

(engine turns over)

- She said what?

- I... I... I know.

I mean, why would you say
something like that?

Why would you make
something like that up?

(exhales)

- Well, how did rose take it?

- Well, she was shocked.

We both were.

- You know, you're...
You're right to be angry.

I mean, she was way outta line
bringing rose back so late.

Maybe she was just lashing out
because she knew it was wrong.

- I mean, that's a pretty
specific claim

If she's just
lashing out.

I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.

Well... Let's speak
to the school.

Okay, we'll figure this out.

- Okay.

(steadying breath)

Okay.

(call rings)

- Hey.
- It's really late.

What's going on?
- Okay, you're not
gonna believe this.

I'm not sure I even do.

But you know hayley?

- How could I forget?

- She says she's my mom.

- What?!

- Shh! I'm not supposed
to be on the phone this late.

- Is she for real?

- Says she is.

(scoffs)

- Thought she was
acting weird.

Now we know why.

So, is she even
a real counselor?

- I don't know!

- What did you say?

- I haven't really gotten
the chance to talk to her yet.

I don't know, it's a lot!

- Does your mom know?

(scoffs)
- yeah.

She's angry.

- She's just looking out
for you.

- What do you think?

- I think that you should sus
her out first

Before you start
getting you know, attached.

- Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

- Chloe!

- One sec, mom!
Just leaving a voice note.

I have to go.

- Okay, see ya tomorrow.

- Bye.

- Bye.

(call beeps off)

(sighs heavily)

(school bell rings)

Is it true? What you said?

- It wasn't the way
I wanted to tell you.

- You got this job so you can
get close to me, didn't you?

- Yeah.

- I didn't even know if
you wanted to know me.

(teary exhale)

- I didn't wanna just
drop a bomb on you.

- Well, you did.
- I know.

Please don't hate me.

- I don't hate you.

I just need time.

(footsteps thump away)

(melancholy music)

(exhales)

- Okay, so, I've been thinking.

Um, if the adoption agency
confirms that it's true,

Then I think
how we deal with this

Should be up to rose.

Honey, what do you think?

- She seems genuine.

If she really is my birth mom,

Then of course,
I wanna get to know her.

- Okay then.

I will reach out to her.

(teary) okay?

(sighs)

- Hey.

- You did good today.

- Oh.
- That wasn't easy.

- Huh.
Oh, well.

- How are you feeling?
(inhales and exhales deeply)

- I just...

I just wish I could've gotten
in front of this, you know?

- Hmm.
- I knew this was something
rose had on her mind

And I did not help
prepare her for it.

- Well, at least we can tackle
this head on together.

- I'm just worried about rose.

- Hmm.
- I mean, this is massive
for her.

Oh, and I hate the way
hayley is handling it.

- Makes two of us.
- Huh.

- But what can we do?

You know,
the more we fight it...
- I know.

I know.

I just wanna make sure rose
feels heard in all of this,
you know?

- Hey, don't worry, she will be.

(gentle music)

(chuckles happily)

(exhales heavily)

(birds chirping)

- Thank you so much
for speaking with me.

I wouldn't blame you if
you ghosted me completely.

- I would never do that.

(scoffs)

- So, zara got in touch.

She wants to have
a big showdown at your house.

- She said that?

- Just a chat.

She just wants to lay
a plan out for the future.

She didn't tell you?

- She's not really telling
me much at the moment.

- Well, I hope you'll be there
because I'm really gonna need
the support.

(sighs)

- Are you okay?

- She told me not
to talk to you before
we all get together

And I don't know who to trust.

- She's just being cautious.

- And I can keep a secret,
if you can.

- Why did you give me up
for adoption?

- It's complicated.

- I promise I won't hold
anything against you.

- I was a different
person back then.

A lot has changed.
I've changed.

It's part of the reason
why I wanted to get in touch
with you.

- What's the other part?

- Just really wanna
make things right.

(doorbell chimes)

(door clicks open)

- Okay, we can do this, right?

- I'm with you.
- Okay.

(chuckles)
(door thuds shut)

- Hi, hayley.

Well, it's nice to meet you.
Thank you so much for coming by.

- Thank you for having me.
Your house is... Lovely.

- Huh, my baby really
landed on her feet.

(chuckles)

- Uh, sorry, so this is,
this is max, this is my husband.

- And rose's dad.

- It's a pleasure.

- Why don't we all sit down
and...

- Uh, first of all, um,

I just wanted
to apologize

For my outburst
the other night.

It really wasn't...
(exhales)

...What I had planned, at all.

But it is the truth.

- Well, this is
a complicated situation.

- Yes.

- So, I would really like
to just take it slowly.

Uh, first step, a dna test.

And in the meantime, max will
dig up the adoption paperwork

And contact the agency.
- Sure thing.

- Yeah.
Is that okay with you, rose?

- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- Okay, great.

(chuckles nervously)

- A dna test?

Wow!

Okay.

Why not?

- Great.
Uh, I'll have it sent out.

It's about a two-week
turnaround,

Then when we know for sure,

We can uh,
take it from there, right?

- Well, I've waited
half my life.

What's another two weeks?

- Right.

You know, about that,
I hope you don't mind me
asking...

...Why now? Why seek out rose
now after all these years?

- I've been trying for a while
to find rose,

But it hasn't
always been easy.

- Well, how so? Um...

I take it
you went to the agency.

- Not exactly.

They haven't really
been that helpful.

- Oh, why not? I don't--

- Mom.
- I'm sorry, I'm just..

- It's okay, kiddo.

It's fine.

- I just feel it's really
important

That we go through
the proper channels.

Forgive me if I don't
believe you yet.

So, it would be really good
to know how

And when you first
reach out to them?

- No problem.
- Great.

Um... Do you have any questions,
rose?

- Only about a million.

(laughs)

- But I can ask you those later.

- Well, maybe we can have
a heart to heart.

- Yeah, I'd love that.

- Okay, well...

...Thank you
so much for coming by.

We really appreciate it.
I know it means a lot
to rose, so...

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.

- I'm looking forward to us
working together on this.

- Yeah, we'll just take
it step by step and uh...

(chuckles)

Just glad that we have
a plan in place.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Okay.
- Have a good night.

- Yeah, you too.
- Bye.

- I'll see you out.

(ominous music)

(sirens wailing in distance)

(indistinct chatter)

(yawns)
- you get much sleep?

- What do you think?
- Me neither.

I've been thinking.

Some things don't add up.

- What do you mean?

- You've been searching for
your birth mom for years

And she manages to find you,
just like that?

Comes right back into
your life just when
you turn 18?

- Okay, what are you saying?

- Nothing, just convenient,
don't you think?

- Okay, so what, you think
she's playing me?

- I don't know.

You've been pretty public
online with your search.

- Chloe.

- It's just, she doesn't
look anything like you.

And you even thought she seemed
off from the start.

- Okay, stop it!

I spoke to her.

I mean, if she's not genuine,
then she's either

The greatest actress
on the planet or
the biggest jerk.

- Could be both!

- Seriously! Why can't anyone
just be happy for me?

- Dude, if you are, I am.

- It's someone's birthday
tomorrow.

(chuckles)
- you knew?

- Of course! It's a big day.

- By the way, do I call you
miss adams or rose's mom now?

- Ha.
- I had to tell her, sorry.

- And you can still
call me miss adams.
(chuckles)

So, maybe we could get
mocktails after school, instead?

(school bell rings)

- Cool, yeah.
I have to talk to my mom first,

But that'll be fine.

Bye.
- Bye.

(footsteps thump away)

- Wait, what?

- Yeah, camille needed it
in over the weekend.

She flew out today
for the pitch.

I called you, but you didn't--

- My phone was off because
we were...

...Hashing it out
with hayley all weekend.

- Well, I covered for you,
but she's not happy.

Look, just make sure you're
all set for the marvotta hotel
pitch tonight.

Nail that and I'm sure
all will be forgiven.

(exhales)

Look, I know it's tough
but you're not losing her.

It's just the troublesome teens.

She'll come around.

- Come around to what, exactly?

A cooler mom?

All the upsides,
none of the rules?

- But you've got a plan now.

Stick to it.

- Susan, I...

- What is it?

- Just remembering how
difficult it all was.

The fertility treatments,
the... The waiting,

The... Feeling
like a failure.

- Zara, don't do this.

- Feeling like it was never
gonna happen, and then...

...And then, the adoption
process, well that was just
another punch in the gut.

- But it all worked out
in the end, didn't it?

You've got rose.

- I don't know, susan, I...

I am losing her!

I can feel it!

It's like I'm gonna have
to fight for her all over again.

- It won't come to that.

(scoffs)
- I know.

You're right.

(exhales heavily)

(tense music)

(school bell rings)

(startled gasp then chuckles)

(window whirrs)
hey.

- Mom, hayley invited me
for a birthday drink.

Um, I'll be back before dinner.

- But we have plans.

Another time?
- It's okay.

Your mom's right, okay.

There's gonna be plenty
of birthdays

For me to make it up to you.
- Okay.

- Right.
- Bye.
- I'll call you.

- I can't believe
you were so rude to her.

- Look, rose, don't start.

Put your seatbelt on.

- Where are we even going?

- To finally get some answers.

(engine starts)

- Yes, this is very irregular.

It's a copy of a copy,
and in a really old format.

The birth mother's signature,
but no name,

And the counter-signatory
is long dead, and
he didn't even sign.

What is the birth
mother's name?

- Hayley adams.

(computer beeps)

- Nope, nothing.

- When did you switch
over to digital?

- Maybe 15 years ago.

- Okay, so our names could
be in vault somewhere?

- They sure might.

- Tell you what, let me spend
an afternoon

Down in the basement
and get back to you.

- Okay.
Uh, that would be great.

And just um, call us
if you find anything.

(concerning music)

Come on, baby,
we will figure this out.

- Don't baby me.

(exhales sharply)

Sorry.

- Look, why don't we have
one of our movie pizza nights?

You know, before you're
officially a grownup?

(chuckles)
- okay.

- Okay.

(chuckles)

(phone chimes)
oh.

Oh, god, no! My meeting.

(elevator chimes)

- All ready to go?

- I thought mom was taking me?

- Dad's got you.

- Let's go!
- Yep! Come on, up, up, up, up!
- What?

(chuckle)
- oh!

- No peeking.
- All right.

- All right.
All right, there's a step.

Step up, there you go.
There you go.

Okay.
- Eyes closed.

- Keep your eyes closed.
- Okay, can I look now?

- Not yet.
- No, no, no, no.

- Okay, a few more steps,
few more steps.

One, two three!
(both): Happy birthday!

(keys jingle)
- what?

- Happy 18th, kiddo.
Your first lesson starts now.

- Thank you!
(laughing)

- You guys rock.
- Hmm. Love you so much.

- Let's go! Come on!
- Oh my gosh!

- Now, this doesn't mean
you could slack off, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- And you have
to be extra careful.

And rose?
- Yeah?

- Have fun.

(engine turns on)

(all): Surprise!

- Oh wow! Uh... Hi!

(chuckles)
- mwah!

- Oh! So exciting!
Happy birthday, baby.

- Happy birthday.
- I know things have been
a little crazy,

But we just wanted you
to know how much we love you.

- Hmm.
- Thanks, mom!

- We'll talk about that later.
We're here to celebrate rose!

Come on, come on, come on!
Here, let me take this.

- Whoa!
- Go. In you go.

Say hi to your cousins.
(chuckles)

(upbeat music)

(phone chimes and buzzes)

- Oh, uh sorry, one sec.

(message pings)

(keys clacking)

(message pings)

(indistinct chatter)

- Hmm.

(chuckles lovingly)

- Hey!
- Hey.

- How's it' goin'?

- It's really nice.

It's just kinda hard
to celebrate

With everything
going on.

- Happy birthday.

(chuckles, surprised)

I didn't want to embarrass you
at school.

I started it when
I was pregnant with you.

Here.

The newest charm
is the infinity symbol.

It's just right there.

- It's beautiful.

- Well, I'll let you
get back to it.

(worrying music)

- Let's go somewhere.

- Yeah?

Oh, I sent my part
of the dna test out.

- Me too.

- It's only a formality now.

(chuckles)

In terms of who you want
to live with,

Uh, you're 18,
so you get to decide.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I... I guess so.

(chuckles nervously)

- Oh, my god.
I'm just...

I don't know why I'm
so emotional right now.

- The moment that they took you
from me was the worst moment
of my life.

- Wait, so you didn't
give me up?

Children's services took me?

- I didn't really have
a say in the matter.

Your birthday's always
been really hard.

But not this time.

Hmm.
(worrying music)

- Hayley, why is there
no record of you at
the adoption agency?

- I don't know.

Um...

...Maybe a clerical error?

Maybe if you got to know me,

You would be less nervous
about this whole thing.

Stay with me this weekend.

Huh? I have a...
I have a extra room for you.

Only if you're comfortable,
though.

- Drive carefully.
- Will do!

(indistinct chatter)

(exhales)

- Hey honey, where's rose?

- Uh, upstairs, I think.

- Okay.

(laughing)

- Welcome.

- Wow.

Wait, you live here?

- I do!
(exhales)

- Okay, if this is what
teacher money gets, count me in.

- Well, I had to sacrifice
a lot to get here.

- Is that me?

- Yeah.
- May I?

- Yeah.

(sentimental music)
hmm.

- Wow.

- You were so cute.

(chuckles)
- I have such big cheeks.

- Yeah.

Do you wanna take a photo?

- Yeah.

(music turns concerning)

- Ready?

(camera shutter snaps)

(chuckle)

Aw.

(rose's phone buzzes)

- Oh uh, my phone
is almost dead.

Um, do you have a phone charger?

I didn't tell them
I was leaving.

- Relax, you're not a prisoner
on day release.

Do you wanna make mocktails?

- Yeah!

(concerning music continues)

(phone clunks)

(indistinct cheering)

You live by the fair?

- Yeah.

- My parents and I, we went
there a couple weeks ago.

- Never been.

(indistinct cheering)

- I hope to be as successful
as you one day.

I mean, your life,
it just seems so cool.

(chuckles)

- Well...

You can stay here
anytime you want.

When life gets a little hard.

- For real?
- Yeah.

I'll have a bedroom
for you and everything.

You should see the closet.

(worried exhale)

- I don't know,
maybe we should call the police.

- No, she's just trying
to prove a point.

- What point exactly?

(phone pings)

Oh, like hell she is.

- What is it?

- She said she's spending
the weekend with hayley.

- You know where they're at?

- She dropped a pin.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

(chuckles)

- My dad would kill me if
he found out

All I had for dinner
was rocky road.

- Well, you only live once.

(concerning music continues)

- So, tell me about my dad.

I mean, like, my birth dad.

- I actually don't know
who he is.

I'm sorry.

Is that important?

(chuckles)

- So, at the park um,

You said you had no choice
when they took me away?

- It's your birthday.

Let's just celebrate.
- No, I'm a big girl, okay?

I can handle it.
- I know.

It's just uh,
it's just not the right time.

I just want you to be happy!

- I'd be happy
if I knew the truth.

- Okay, kiddo.

How about when everything
is confirmed,

I will tell you anything
you wanna know?

I promise.

Hmm?
(rapping knock on door)

(knocking continues)

Okay!

- So sorry to break
up the party.

We had an agreement, hayley.

- Ah, yes.
The dna test.

I sent off my sample,
so, ball's in your court.

- It's late.
We should go.

Rose?

- Okay, there are no laws
against us

Getting to know
each other.

- I'm not so sure
about that, honey.

Nothing has been confirmed yet.

- Man, it's gonna take forever.

- You stick to the agreement

Or we tell the school that
you've been harassing rose.

- You're the ones harassing me!

- Don't be ridiculous, rose!
You do not spend the weekend

With someone without
checking with us, first!

- Like you would've said yes.

- That's not the point!

The point is that we are
responsible for you, not hayley.

- Well, I'm happy
to share responsibility.

- I am not speaking
to you right now!

- Hey, whoa, whoa.

- Okay, why are you
being such a tyrant?

- Sorry, what?
- Do not speak to
your mother like that!

- I'm sorry, which mom?
I'm confused.

- Okay.

Show's over.
Let's go.

Out!

- Bye, rose.

(ominous music)

(door slams shut)

- Rose!

Hey!

Oh no, you are not running away
from us, young lady.

You may be 18, but you're
still our responsibility.

Stop!

Honey, you first.

- Okay.

If hayley insists on going
behind our backs,

Rose can't expect us
to just sit around
and do nothing.

- Okay, no one's going
behind your backs.

You're just being paranoid.

- She got a job at
the school to approach you.

So unethical.

Just... And I think
the school needs to know.

- No, please!
You can't tell them!
She could lose her job!

- Well, she could do
with a wake-up call.

- If you go to the school,
I will never forgive you.

- Oh, come on, rose.
- I could lose her
all over again!

- Stop! I cannot have you two
fighting, okay?

Can we please just...
Just slow everything down.

- Look, um...

There something
I need to tell you.

I didn't wanna have to tell
you this,

But I think you need
to know.

When I picked up rose
all those years ago,

The adoption agency
told me that the birth mother
was deemed unfit.

- What do you mean, unfit?

- She tried to suffocate rose.

- And you're just now
telling me this?

- I didn't want to upset rose.

But now, with the way things
are getting,

I think we all have
to know.

I-I-I'm sorry, kiddo.
Please!

(footsteps stomp away)

(door slams)

- Just... Don't.

(water splashing gently)

(dishes clanging)

Rose knows you weren't
trying to hurt her.

- She's been in bed all day.

- What did you expect?

- Shouldn't have said anything.

- Well, it's out now.

It's...

It's better that she knows.

- Is there something else?

- I found the adoption papers.

- Oh? What did they say?

Anything about
the birth mom's rights?

- Oh, nothing.
They're all over the place.

Illegible signatures, no names.

- Well, that's on them, not us.

- Why is it you always find
someone else to blame?

- Don't start.

- Maybe if we had better
communication,

We would not be in this mess
in the first place.

- You're the one
in charge of this!

- Oh, so this is my fault?

Okay, is there anything else
that you haven't told us?

Because hayley harming rose
is kind of a big deal,
don't you think?

- Here we go, yeah,
it literally just adds.

If it thought it would've
helped anyone,

I would have...
I would have told someone.

(upbeat, happy music)

But I knew it would have
crushed you and rose.

(shaky exhale)

- What are we doing?

We cannot turn
on each other.

I feel like we are playing
right into her hands.

- You think she's making a play?

- I don't know.

There is something
not right about her.

I know that much.

- At least we're agreed on that.

(chuckles under breath)

- I'm sorry for snapping.

(exhales)
- me too.

- Yeah, I said I'd go in today.

We're presenting to head
office on Monday.

(teary exhale)
- go. It's okay.

I'll stay with rose.

Oh, uh...

I got a call from
the adoption agency.

They said they found something
interesting for us,

So I'll go in
on Monday.

- Wait, I thought
I was supposed to be
dealing with them?

- It's okay.
I got it.

- All right.

I love you.
You know that.

- Love you too.

- Hey, keep me posted.

(tender music)

(exhales)

(exhales)

(elevator chimes)

- Hi, tina.

- Mrs. Miller,
thanks for coming in.

- Of course.
Uh, your message said that
you found something.

- I did. After spending hours
trawling through the records,

I finally found your names.

You and your husband
were registered way back when,

But there's no record of you
being assigned a baby girl.

- So, there's no mention
of rose at all?

- None.

- Uh...
I mean, well that...

...That can't be.
I mean, we have,
we have paperwork.

- I showed the documents
to my manager

And she believes
they've been forged.

- Okay, well what
does that mean?

- It means that rose
didn't come to you

Through our organization.

(worried exhale)

I looked into hayley adams
as well,

And her name doesn't
show up in our system.

So, I ran a background check
across all state registers.

An h. Adamson
and an h.G. Adams

Crop up a few times
as an alias for rachel jones.

- Okay, um...
Who's rachel jones?

- According to this, she is
quite an accomplished con woman.

Is this the woman
who approached you?

(ominous music)

I've reached out to the police
about this.

We had a security breach a
few weeks back, lost some data.

Maybe she had something
to do with it.

- Thank you.

- I'm sorry I couldn't
have been more help.

- Can I take this with me?

- Of course.

- Okay um... Thank you.

(button rattles)

- Hello!

Hey!

Did you go to school today?

- Couldn't face it.

- Sweetie...

Hey, you can't let this
get in the way of your studies.

You have finals coming up.

(sighs)

Look, hey, I'm sorry
about the other night.

I shouldn't have said anything.

- No, I wanna know.

It's okay.

- Listen, whatever happened
in the past is in the past.

What's important
is where you are now.

And you have a mom and dad
who love you very much.

- I know.

- Max? I've got something
to show you!

- What is it?

- Oh, hey!

Hi, honey.
I didn't see you there.

- So, are you two good?

- Good as gold.

(chuckles)

- Oh, mom, can we talk?

- Of course!

- I'll just...
- That's your cue.

- Yeah.
(chuckles)

Hi.
- Hi.

(tender music)

I'm sorry for taking
things out on you.

- Hmm.

- I'm just really stressed.

- Come on.

(crying)
it's okay.

And we should not have stormed
into hayley's house like that,
either.

- I should've never gone
with her in the first place.

- Truce?

(chuckles)

How are you feeling about...

...What your dad told you?

- What she did was wrong.

But she must have gone
through hell to do that.

- Look, I'm not judging.

I can't imagine having
to raise a baby on your own.

It's just, from what I've seen,
she's...

...She just seems
a bit erratic.

I don't know,
I don't trust her.

I'm sorry,
that's just how I feel.

- I don't even know
how I feel anymore.

(shaky exhale)

- Don't worry.

We will figure this out, okay?

- How?

- Just trust me.

I got your back.

- Okay.

(tender music continues)

- Well, have a good day.

Mwah!
- You too.

- Oh, and hey, get home early.

I need you.
- Will do.

- Okay, bye.
- Bye.

(ominous music)

(envelope crinkles)

(engine starts)

- Hayley adams, mother.

(footsteps thump, approaching)

- Hey, mom.
- Hey.

- Thanks for letting me
cut class for a few days.

- I figured you needed it.

- I won't let her get
in the way of school.

From now on,
hayley is a no-go zone.

- Come here.

- I promise.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

- So, do you want me
to quiz you?

- Please.

(chuckles)
- let's do this.

- I don't know.

- Just makes it weird.

- Hey! Can we talk?

In private?

- Whatever you wanna say,
you can say it here.

- Okay.

I didn't really understand
your text.

What exactly did
your dad tell you?

(scoffs)

Look, if you need some space,
I totally understand,

But don't you think
I deserve to know

Why I'm suddenly
in the doghouse?

- I don't think you deserve
to know anything.

I'm sorry, I don't
wanna talk right now.

(footsteps thump away)

(sighs)

(phone buttons beeping)

(school bell rings)

- Hi, uh this is zara miller.

I ordered a dna test
from you and...

...I'm just wondering
how accurate the results are?

Uh, you mentioned
some exceptions in
the fine print.

So, if you could call me back,
that would be great.

(door clunks open)

- Hi.

- Hey!

So, I got a call from
the principal's office

And they wanna speak to me.
Any idea what that's about?

- News to me.

- Okay, well, I'll be
as quick as I can, okay?

- Okay.

(concerning music)

(blows raspberry)

- Ah, mrs. Miller,
please, take a seat.

My name is freya.

I work for social services,

And I am
the school liaison officer.

- Okay.

- You're already familiar
with miss adams?

- Hayley, please.

- Mm-hmm.
- Now, hayley's brought me up
to speed

Regarding the delicate situation
that we find ourselves in

And I'm here to resolve
some issues with you guys

To mediate, if you will.

- We're very grateful.

- Rose's wellbeing is paramount

And she isn't being best served
with the two of you on
a warpath.

- Agreed.
Rose always comes first.

- Well, the issue,
as we all know,

Is that you cannot accept that
I am rose's birth mother.

- Because you have just said
you're rose's birth mother.

It has not been confirmed.

- Yeah, what is going on
with that?

I got a text saying that
the results were on their way.

- I'm sure it will be
in a few days.

The real issue here is how
you have handled all of this.

Did the school know that hayley
is supposedly related to rose?

- Yes.
Uh, when hayley applied for
the job, she made that clear.

- And why wasn't I informed?

- Well, I can't speak
for the school,

But I'm sure
they have a privacy policy.

Look, I can appreciate that
this news

Can't have been easy for you,
and I can understand

How hayley's reappearance
challenges

Your status as rose's
legal guardian and--

- I am her mother!

- But the two of you need
to work together

To agree on a way forward.

- Well, as soon as
the dna results come out,

Uh, rose has said that she
wants to live with me so,

That's a way forward.
- Excuse me?

- Oh, did rose not mention
that to you?

- Oh, hayley, you have
some nerve

Thinking that
you could just--
- okay, okay.

- ...Come in here--
- timeout.

It has been brought
to my attention

That rose has missed
a number of days of school
recently,

Which is concerning
because her exams are
only right around the corner.

How has rose been in
your sessions with her?

- She's stressed.

Distracted.

Which is totally
understandable,

Considering
what she's been through.

Her real mom
coming on the scene.

- Her real mother?

- Mrs. Miller, please,
you'll get your turn.

- What I'm most concerned about

Is I think that rose
is being manipulated.

I just got this text from her.

"my dad told me the truth."

I would love to know
what the truth is,

Considering
it's turned rose against me.

- Okay.

Okay, so that's... That's why
I was brought in?

And you really want me
to say that out loud in
front of your friend, here?

- Please.

- All right.
The reason rose was taken away
from hayley

Is because she was deemed
unfit as a mother.

- Oh my... What?

- You tried to suffocate rose
as a baby!

Or did she not mention
that part?

- Is this true?

- No! It is...It's absolutely
not true!

And it's slander.

- Of course, you would say that.

- Oh.
- Okay, please, both of you.

This is exactly what
I was talking about.

- Hayley, you just
need to come clean.

The only reason you got this job
was to approach my daughter.

- Hey, there are plenty
of teachers with children
in this school.

What is your point?!
- Not teachers with
criminal records.

- Ugh!

- Her name isn't even
hayley adams.

It's rachel jones.

- Hayley has been upfront
with the school about her past.

And under the education code,
only serious felonies

Disqualify you from
being a teacher.

And those offenses,
as well as being from years ago,

Are all misdemeanors,
not felonies.

- This is a school, not a rehab.

(scoffs)

- This is...

...This is ridiculous.

I really don't appreciate
you two ambushing me like this.

- We're not ambushing you,
mrs. Miller.

Quite the reverse.
I'm suggesting therapy.

- I'm sorry, what?

- For both of you.

It's the only way that
I can see

That this doesn't escalate
any further.

- I'm okay with that.

- Well, I am not.

Word of advice, do not come
between a mother and her child.

- Is that a threat?

(threatening swell)

- What was that all about?

(breathing shakily)

Okay.

- Hey!

- Hi.

- Is rose in bed?

- Yeah.

- It's a good thing
'cause we need to talk.

- Okay.

- The dna test results
came back positive.

- Okay.

Well, uh, we've had
some time to prepare.

- Oh no, there's more.

I found out the adoption papers
were forged,

So the adoption agency
ran a background check
on hayley,

Or I should call
her rachel.

She's a con woman.

- Why am I not surprised?

But we can use this, right?

- I'm definitely gonna
talk to a lawyer.

- Okay, this is all connected.

It has to be.

I mean, she could've
faked those results.

I mean, she has so much access
with rose at school.

- And if this is something
that she's done before,

Then she would know exactly
how to rig that test.

I mean, we've seen
where she lives.

She definitely has the money.

- Yeah, other people's money.

- Okay, so what? So...

She gets her claws
into rose and tries
to extort money from us?

- Yeah, but we're on to her.

- God, I just...

Okay, let's...
Let's think about this.

- Yeah.

- Okay, if she has faked
the test results,

Well,
we need to find that out.

But if she really is
rose's birth mother?

- Which I doubt.

- Well, her having a criminal
record doesn't change anything.

You know, we can't, we can't
come off as discriminatory.

- Why in the hell not?
- Because she could
take us to court.

And apparently, I am on warning.

- I'm sorry...Say that again?

- Hayley says that
her suffocating rose
is slander.

She wants rose to live with her
and she implied that rose
is in favor.

- What? Where-where
did you hear this?

- Well, they called me
down to the school.

They're taking her side
in all of this.

- What? Unbelievable.

- Which is why we can't
just go to the police.

It's her word against ours,

And the way things are going,
they'll probably take her side.

- Oh, I...

I just... I mean, I-I can't...

Just the-the whole
system is at fault.

I mean, I-I don't know if-if
they're corrupt or...

- This is what she wants, right?

Okay, we can't let her
get to us.

- Yeah, you're right.

- Just tell me what
you want me to do.

(exhales)

Well, we need to stay calm,
okay?

We're gonna do this
by the book, okay?

I'm gonna contact a lawyer.

You're gonna see if you can
find any other paperwork.

Look, if she wants a fight,
we'll bring it to her.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay, I'll uh...

I'll go look through
some of my files.

- Okay.
- And if you need me,

I'll be at my office.
- Okay.

We got this.

- Yeah.

(tense music)

(music intensifying)

(car rumbles, approaching)

(screams)

(car thuds,
hayley crashes to ground)

(tires squeal away)

(flag flutters gently)

- Hey!

(exhales)
how was your day?

- It was fine.

I just want things to go back
to normal, you know,

Pre hayley.

- Huh, no argument from me.

- And I've decided that
if we do argue,

It's just because
we love each other.

- Okay.
What did you do?

- Nothing!
(laughs)

Nothing.

It's just the grass isn't
always greener, you know?

- You know, yesterday,
in the office...

...Hayley told me that
you liked the idea
of living with her.

- She gave me
her keys to the place.

She wants me to spend
spring break with her.

I don't know how
I'm gonna choose.

- Honey, I would never
make you choose.

(exhales)
you know that, right?

- I just, I thought I could
move on, you know.

But I've been wanting to find
my birth mom for so long,

And if it's not her...

- So...
(rose's phone buzzing)

...Uh listen, there's
something I need to tell you.

(call beeps on)
- hello?

From where?

That's awful.

Uh... Yeah.

I'm on my way.

- What is it?
(call beeps off)

- That was the hospital.
Hayley was hit by a car
last night.

- Oh, my god!

- I'm down as next of kin.

We have to pick her up.

- Okay.

(seatbelts click)

Okay.

(engine starts)

(sirens wailing)

- Hayley!

- Rose? What are you doing here?

- What happened?

- I just...I um...

I was crossing the road.

They said it could've
been much worse.

- Are you family?

- Uh, we're here
to help her home, yes.

- I'll get started on
the discharge paperwork.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- Did you get a good look
at the car?

- No.

It all happened really,
really fast.

I take it she's come here
to gloat?

- I'm here to support rose.
- Guys, come on.

Please.

- Why don't you grab the car

And pull it around front, okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- I'll uh...I'll bring
hayley through.

- Mm-hmm.

- I don't need your help.

- I'm not offering.

- You know, the police suspect
that this wasn't an accident.

- Rachel...

If I find out you rigged
this dna test,

I will make sure they put you
away for a very long time.

- And if I found out that
you had anything to do with
this accident,

You'll go away
for longer.

- Keep us posted.

Okay.

- So?

- Well, the lawyer says
we may have enough

To file a restraining order
against hayley.

- Boom.

- Well, it's not
a for sure thing.

And we just need
to make sure it sticks.

- And what about the dna tests?

- He said they'd be repeated
in person under court scrutiny.

- Good.
- Yeah, it's great.

And if the cops won't confront
hayley about her criminal
records, I will.

- I-I don't think that
that's a good idea.

- Oh, don't worry.
I'll be firm, but fair.

- She needs to know you won't
take this lying down.

- Oh, I just... I just wish
we would've acted sooner.

I mean, I knew there was
something off from
the beginning.

- You were amazing.

I'm proud of you.

And so is rose.

(sighs)

(footsteps thump away)

- I don't know, suse,

Am I doing the right thing?

(phone rings)

- Hello?

(tense music)

Yeah, this is she.

No, no, I'm sorry,

I'm the one that needs
the restraining order.

Hayley adams is a con artist.

Her real name is rachel jo--

Uh, that was the police.

- What did they say?

- Apparently I am
the number one suspect

In hayley's hit and run.

- I-I don't know what to say.

- I just need to know that
you are on my side in this.

- Uh... Of course, I am.

- Should I have gone with him?

I mean, what if hayley
does something?

I think I should go after him.

I just... I just don't want
him to do anything rash.

Can you stay with rose?

- Anything you need.

But keep your cool.

- Thank you.

- I'll call you, okay?

- Oh, wow!

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

It's cute.

(disturbing music)

(clicks tongue)

Hmm.

- What do you want?

- I think we could both do
with a drink.

- Go ahead.

(glasses clink)

- I heard about the accident.

Retaliation from
a previous mark?

- Just say what you came
here to say and leave.

- To rose.

- I'll drink to that.

To my daughter.

It's official now.

Haven't you heard?

- Dna tests can be faked,
rachel.

- My record's in the past.

- Yeah.

- If you wouldn't have
blocked me

When I first approached you
about rose,

We wouldn't be here
right now.

- You never approached me.

- Oh, I did.

Your assistant kept telling me
how busy you were.

Forced me to go
to rose directly.

- Huh.

- That's on you.

(glass clunks on counter)
- hmm.

- You think it's fine
to drag a kid into this?

- You know, you can't bully me.

- I'm warning you,
you've gone too far with this.

Easy.

(glass clunks on counter)
(pills rattle in bottle)

Whoa, these are some pretty
strong painkillers.

Probably shouldn't be mixing.

- You should leave.

(sighs)

- Okay.

Yeah, I have no hard feelings,
rachel.

I just feel sorry for you.

- Hmm.

- You should see someone.

Seriously.

Oh, and um,

We've applied for
a restraining order.

You come within 50 feet
of my family,

You'll be sorry.

(exhales shakily)

Toodeloo.

(winces then exhales)

(ominous music)

(♪♪)

- Hayley?

Hayley?

Hayley, you here?

(♪♪)

Hayley!

Oh, my god! Okay.

Oh, thank god.

Hayley, can you hear me?

- Zara?

(pants)
- hold on.

I'm calling an ambulance.

- Mom?

- Oh, honey.

You scared me.

- Susan said you went
to hayley's?

(sighs)

- Um, hayley is um...

...Not in a great place
right now.

But she's going to be just fine.

- I guess you didn't really
patch things up.

(exhales shakily)

- I am so sorry things
are such a mess.

Ugh, I feel like
this is all my fault.

- No.

Mom, don't say that.

(exhales heavily)

- We just tried so many times.

I never thought
I would be a mom.

So, when the...

...Agency suddenly
called about you...

...I was just so happy.
I didn't question anything.

(tender music)

- You never have to feel
guilty for that.

That means we found each other.

(sniffles)

- And I am so incredible
grateful for you every day.

So, no matter what happens,

I just want you to know that
I am always here for you.

I promise.

- I got you, too.

(sniffles)

(music turns ominous)

(ominous music)

- Hey.

- Where have you been?

- I just...

I went for a drive.

- Hmm.
- Just needed to clear my head.

- Hmm.
Well, don't worry.

It's all sorted.

You won't be hearing
from hayley again.

(music intensifies)

(inhales and exhales deeply)

(plates clanging)

- Wow, to what do I owe this?

- Well, I figured
I could be more proactive.

But now, we can draw
a line under it.

- Hmm.

(sighs)
you really think it's over?

We can just move on?

- Yeah, trust me.

When I woke up this morning,
I could feel it.

Birds singing, sun's shining.

In fact, I think we should
move our vacation forward.

- Oh, really?

- What's this? Pancakes?

- Yeah, and the rest of it.

Your dad is talking
about vacations.

- Ah, but after
your exams, of course.

But yes, I think
we all deserve it.

- Hmm.
- Palm beach?

- Ah, I was thinking somewhere
really remote, like bali.

- Ooh!
(zara's phone chimes)

- Can chloe come too?

(tense music)

- What is it?

- Uh... Hayley.

She wants to call a truce.

Tonight.

Um, she said she wants
to discuss

The future
and make plans.

- Hmm.

- She wants all three
of us there.

(tense music continues)

- Thank you all for coming.

I just wanted to apologize.

I'm not usually
this much trouble.

But I think it's time
that we told rose the truth.

She deserves to know
why I had to give her up.

(music intensifying)

- Well, don't leave us
in suspense, hayley.

- Actually, I had
a question for max.

I wasn't feeling very well
after your visit.

I actually ended up
in the hospital.

Strangest thing.

They found ethylene glycol
in my blood.

That's a poison.

Any idea how that happened, max?

- Uh, I'm sorry, are you saying
that someone

Tried to hit you with their car
and then,

Also tried
to poison you?

- Not someone, no.
Max.

If you hadn't shown up when
you did, I'd probably be dead.

- What is she talking about?

- That drive I went on was
less about me clearing my head

And more about seeing
what she was up to.

- Unbelievable.
- Wait, I don't understand.

Why would my dad wanna kill you?
- He didn't.

Honey, we cannot believe
a word this woman is saying.

The adoption agency looked into
our case

And they found that
she has a rap sheet.

She is a con woman.

Her real name is rachel jones.

- It's true.

I had a complicated past.

Not always on the right side
of the law.

- Hmm.
- But when I got pregnant
with you, rose,

I wanted you to have
a better life.

- I wanna know everything.

- Hayley, just please tell me.

- Rose, your father and I--

- You really wanna
go down this road?

- Dad, stop!

- This may come as a surprise
to you,

But when I was younger, I...

...Was an exotic dancer.

- Huh, of course.

- That's where
I met your father.

- Rachel! I'm warning you.

- He was my very best client.

And when rose was born...

...He bought you to complete
his precious family.

- That is a lie!
- It's the truth.

- Max?
- You need help.

We're leaving, now!
- Oh, don't take my word for it.

Max, why don't you do
a dna test, huh?

Rose, do you wanna find out
who your birth father is?

(breathing shakily)
I'm sorry.

Hey, I have been trying
to find you

And your dad has been
preventing me your whole life!

- Okay, we're going.
Come on! We'll see you in court.

- You are sick!
- I'm sick? What does
that make your husband?

- Mom, is this true?

- I don't...

(scoffs)
- oh.

- Rose!

- You really didn't know.
(door clicks open)

I always thought
you were part of it.

- No, honey...

(ominous music)

(door slams shut)

You're a dead woman.

(footsteps thump unevenly)

- I'm not scared of you anymore.

(door clicks open)
- c-come on, z, hey,
please forgive me.

- Just stop it!

Could you just be honest
for once?

- Yeah, a-anything.
- Was it you?

A-all of it, the...

...The adoption papers,
hayley suffocating rose,
the hit and run!

- Sweetie, please.
- No, get off of me!

- Hey! Rose...

(footsteps stomp away)
you've gotta understand.

You wanted a kid so badly.

- Ah! No!

- I did this for you.

- This was for me?

- Yes! I would've done anything
for this family.

Now, I realize I didn't
do it the right way--

- Oh, you realize that now.

- Look, if she gets
to the cops, it's over.

- If you go after her,
then it's really over
'cause we are through.

- Z!

I have to stop her.

Hey.

(footsteps run away)

(tense energetic music)

(panting)

(indistinct shouting)

(tense, energetic music)

- Rose?

(indistinct chatter)

Rose!

(music intensifies)

- Rose? Where are you?

Ha.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Rose!

(gunshot blasts)

- Wah! Oh...
(crowd cheers and applauds)

Rose!

Rose, where are you?!

(panting)

(phone beeps)

- Ah!
(muffled panting)

- Shh! Shh!

- Oh, my god.

- You gotta be quiet, okay?
He's looking for you.

- Come on, rach.

I just wanna talk.

Settle this like adults.

(pants)

Hey.

- Dad?

- Honey, would you mind
giving us a minute?

(gun rattles)
- I'm not going anywhere.

- Kiddo, I don't want
you to get hurt.

- Rose.
- Oh, right.

You just wanna hurt
my birth mom, is that it?

- She's not your mom!

(panting angrily)

(gun rattles then pops)
ah!

(grunting)

- Stop!
- No!

- Stop! Max, look at me!
Don't do this.

- Everything was perfect
until she showed up.

- You wouldn't have your family
if I didn't exist.

- Hayley, you're not helping.

Max...

(babbles)
- max, baby.
- Yeah.

- Put the gun down.
Just the gun down.

We could just all talk.

- What does it matter?
The truth can die with her.

- You didn't have to do this.

We could've just waited.

We could've just been patient!

- Patient?

No, the agency was a joke!

They-they wouldn't even
take a bribe.

- No!
- Rose is our daughter,

My flesh and blood.

Rachel is bad for her anyway.

(cocks gun)
let me just end this now.

(sobbing)
- don't you understand?

I will never forgive you
for this.

- Then, I guess I have nothing
else to... To lose.

(grunts)
(board thwaps heavily)

- Oh!
(grunts)

- No! No!
- Wait, mom!

Mom, stop him,
he's hurting her!

- Max, stop!
(gunshot cracks)

- Are you crazy?!

- This is over! This is over.

Max, I am giving you one last
chance to do the right thing.

- Okay.
Okay, fine.

Fine.

Hey... Take it easy.

- Are you okay?
- No, no, it's okay.

- I'm sorry.

- Ah! Get off me!!

- Oh!
(grunts)

(shovel thuds heavily)
- ah!

- Max!

(grunts loudly)

(gunshot cracks)

(exhales shocked)

(all panting)

(panting)

(cries)

(sobbing)
oh, god.

(sirens wailing)

(police radio chatter)

(gentle music)

(engine starts)

(indistinct chatter)

(♪♪)

(indistinct chatter)

- Here you go.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

Hmm, thank you so much
for including me.

- Of course! We should try
and put everything behind us,
for rose.

- I'm just so grateful that
you were able to be there
for rose when I couldn't.

You have raised
such an amazing person.

- Well, thank you so much
for saying that.

That means so much to me.
(chuckles)

- Ooh, talking about me?

(both): Always.

(chuckle)

- Oh, um, I actually
got you something.

Give it to you before I forget.

(tender music)

You probably already
know what it is.

(chuckles)

(charm rattles)

- It's a graduation hat
for the bracelet.

- I love it.
- Sweet.
- Thank you.

- You know, I am just...

I'm so proud of you.

You know, you have been
through so much

And you have grown
into such a strong,

Smart, and capable
young woman.

- Mom, you're gonna make me cry.

- Well, I'm sorry, I just um...

I just love you so much
and...

We... Love you so much.

- And we are gonna miss you
when you go away to college.

- So, if you could fit us
into your schedule from time
to time,

You know,
that would be great.

- Sure.
(giggles)

I'll take turns giving
you both my laundry.

- Oh!
- So generous.

Well, that means you, too.

(laughs)
