00:00:00the way
00:00:10I must tell him, but how I can't wait to tell her
00:00:16Bella, you take my breath away, marry me, and let's fall deep into love together
00:00:46This is hilarious. You think this is what I really want?
00:00:54You waste your time on pointless things, Eric.
00:00:57Bella, your happiness is the most important thing to me. If you didn't like the proposal, I-
00:01:03You're hopeless. I want a breakup.
00:01:06I just beat the school record in swimming. Everything's looking up. I can work harder.
00:01:11School record? You think that's something to brag about?
00:01:14You don't have goals or drive. You just come from an average family. You're just getting by.
00:01:21You are meant to be average, Eric.
00:01:30Can't believe a billionaire heiress would choose to be with someone like you.
00:01:35See, Ivy League universities like Princeton is where people like us belong.
00:01:41I'm sorry, who are you?
00:01:42Bella's dream is to be a host at BNN, and as the son of the BNN owner,
00:01:50I can make her dream come true.
00:01:52Yeah, um, David is the one that I deserve to be with.
00:01:56I'm sorry, Eric. I have no choice.
00:02:08Can't believe I pretended to be a straightened jerk to help you get rid of your baby's dad.
00:02:13I have a lot going on at home, so I can't go to your brother's game this afternoon.
00:02:16Can you just go and cheer him on for me, please?
00:02:19You should have fucked off a long time ago.
00:02:21What are you talking about, Stimpy?
00:02:23I found my biological parents.
00:02:25Oh my god, that's great! Eric and his parents are really going to miss you.
00:02:29Tell me about it. In a heartbeat, our roles completely reversed.
00:02:33I had to go to the bathroom.
00:02:35You had to go to the bathroom?
00:02:37I had to go to the bathroom.
00:02:39In a heartbeat, our roles completely reversed.
00:02:42I become a billionaire's daughter, while you become a beggar after your family's bankruptcy.
00:02:48Didn't your parents die in an airplane crash?
00:02:52You're nobody now.
00:02:55Now I can provide Eric with the money and resources you can't, turning him into a true success.
00:03:01And you?
00:03:02You'll just be a burden to him.
00:03:04But we love each other.
00:03:05Shut up, you loser.
00:03:07Eric gave up his Oxford opera for you.
00:03:10No, he said he got it because he's a lovesick fool.
00:03:13He sacrificed his future for you. Do you want your love to ruin him?
00:03:19What do you want?
00:03:21Leave him. He's mine.
00:03:25You really have feelings for your stepbrother.
00:03:28I've loved him since the day I was adopted, when I was four.
00:03:37Olympic swimmer Eugene Holmes has just arrived after winning three gold medals this year.
00:03:41Please.
00:03:43Give him some space.
00:03:44Rich, handsome, and charming. He must be mine.
00:03:49I'm Mia Levy from Short TV.
00:03:51Eugene, what do you think is harder, becoming an Olympic champion or a billionaire?
00:03:55Maybe a billionaire.
00:03:57And why is that?
00:03:59Because swimming in money is harder than swimming in water.
00:04:02We gotta go.
00:04:03Let's go.
00:04:03Gotta go, boss.
00:04:07Bye.
00:04:14Bella, it's been so long.
00:04:18What have you been up to all these years?
00:04:23Eugene, what do you think is harder, becoming an Olympic champion or a billionaire?
00:04:27Maybe a billionaire.
00:04:28Because swimming in money is harder than swimming in water.
00:04:32Bella, just stop caring about him. He's not going to pay your bills.
00:04:35Mom!
00:04:37Yes, sweetie?
00:04:38Luke, I could hold my breath for a minute.
00:04:47You need to come over right now.
00:04:49You're doing the exclusive live for Short News tonight.
00:04:52Sorry, boss. Did you forget, though?
00:04:54You fired me after I won Best New Host to make room for your daughter, Mia.
00:04:58Maybe she can do it.
00:05:00The thing is, Eugene Holmes specifically asked for you to interview him, okay?
00:05:06The interviewee is Eugene Holmes?
00:05:10Mommy, did you see that?
00:05:11That's amazing, sweetie.
00:05:13Well, he not only requested you for the interview, but he also wants you to go to his house.
00:05:19Okay, that's a lot.
00:05:23I'll do it.
00:05:24But you're going to have to pay me double, and you can't fire me.
00:05:28Deal. Just move quickly.
00:05:32Alright.
00:05:36I can't let him know about Troy.
00:05:48Well, you really achieved more than I imagined.
00:05:53We are two people from very different worlds.
00:06:06So...
00:06:31Hello?
00:06:33Bella.
00:06:34Even if you turned to ash, I'd still recognize you.
00:06:41Sorry to keep you waiting. Just use oil number two.
00:06:45What's going on?
00:06:50You're gonna have to be quick. The TV crew is on its way.
00:06:53Wait, he thinks I'm the masseuse? Okay, fine. At least he doesn't recognize me.
00:07:04You're so tense.
00:07:20Paula? What are you doing? Paula? What are you doing?
00:07:29Mr. Eugene Holmes! What an honor. I'm Humbert Levy, director of Short TV.
00:07:37Hello, hello. Hi, this is my daughter Mia.
00:07:41Apologize to Mr. Holmes right now. You just did that to him?
00:07:46And what are you wearing?
00:07:48Miss Emerson, nice to finally meet you. I'm sorry I mistook you for the masseuse.
00:07:52Mistook, huh? I don't buy it. Eric, why do you suddenly want me to interview you?
00:07:57Here's the script I prepared for you.
00:08:05Lucky you, bitch.
00:08:14Life in three, two, one.
00:08:21Hello everyone, and welcome to Short News Special Report. I am Bella Emerson.
00:08:27And today we have the honor of having Olympic swimming champion Eugene Holmes with us.
00:08:32Eugene, congratulations on winning three gold medals at the Olympics.
00:08:36And I also hear that you have gotten onto the Forbes 30 under 30 list. How do you feel about that?
00:08:42Do I still have no goals? Drive? Destined to be averaged forever?
00:08:49Excuse me?
00:08:53That's what I like to say to those who underestimate me.
00:08:56Oh, you seem just as witty as the rumors say, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:03You have achieved more than what most people can achieve before age 30.
00:09:08What is the next step in your career?
00:09:11I think I'm ready for the next step.
00:09:13You seem just as witty as the rumors say, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:17You have achieved more than what most people can achieve before age 30.
00:09:22What is the next goal?
00:09:24My next goal is you, Miss Emerson.
00:09:30Oh my god, what does it mean?
00:09:33Is he going after her?
00:09:36Don't get me wrong, I mean someone like you. Someone who strives to excel in their field.
00:09:44Most swimmers become famous young, but you are special.
00:09:51Yes, I started swimming late, so I had to work harder than most to achieve what I have today.
00:09:56You are very talented.
00:09:59Talent isn't enough.
00:10:02You really need the unconditional support of the people around you.
00:10:08Like the ones you love.
00:10:11On behalf of everyone here, may I ask, have you found Miss Right?
00:10:16Yes.
00:10:18I owe everything I have to her.
00:10:21Bella, I'm back. I'll show you how leaving me has shaped me.
00:10:26That sounds like a romantic story.
00:10:29Bittersweet.
00:10:32Eric, are you confessing your feelings for me?
00:10:43That is all that we have today with Eugene Holmes. Thank you so much and until next time.
00:10:50Bye.
00:10:51Bye.
00:11:00Whatever.
00:11:12Mr. Holmes?
00:11:14Sorry, excuse me.
00:11:18Crying over a little conversation?
00:11:21I'm the one that should be feeling wronged.
00:11:24Just throwing your words back at you.
00:11:26I think you misunderstood me, Mr. Holmes. I'm crying out of happiness.
00:11:30This is congratulations to both of us.
00:11:32Is that so?
00:11:34What exactly is worth celebrating?
00:11:37I'm an Olympic champion, while you're the host of some small TV station.
00:11:42Is that worth celebrating?
00:11:44Or is it the fact that I'm a billionaire while you still struggle with bullying?
00:11:48Does that make you happy?
00:11:50What exactly is there to be happy about when your life turned out this way?
00:12:00You know what the good thing is? The interview I did just now is going to make my show a hit.
00:12:07Don't you miss our past a little?
00:12:10Your new name gave you a fresh start, but you're no longer Eric.
00:12:16Goodbye, Mr. Holmes.
00:12:19Goodbye.
00:12:23Mr. Holmes?
00:12:31Oh, Mr. Holmes, I have long admired you.
00:12:36It smells so good, my pussycat.
00:12:39Ew!
00:12:44Hey boss, did I do good?
00:12:46Well done, Adam.
00:12:47She bullied my girl.
00:12:49This was a lesson.
00:12:56All he ever did was get revenge on me.
00:12:59Easy, honey. I mean, maybe he means well.
00:13:03Whose side are you on?
00:13:05Yours, of course.
00:13:07But these eight years have not been easy on you.
00:13:11I mean, now that Troy's dad's back, what if-
00:13:13My dad?
00:13:15No, honey, you misunderstand.
00:13:19It's me. I'm your dad.
00:13:22I'm home.
00:13:24Oh, okay.
00:13:26Welcome back, Daddy David.
00:13:33Anyways, there are no what-ifs, okay? I got through my hardest years without him.
00:13:37I just hope I never have to see him again.
00:13:44There's a party to celebrate my return.
00:13:47I need you to come.
00:13:49It's the weekend, Mr. Holmes.
00:13:51Humbert invited me to do a profile interview.
00:13:53I heard Mia might host.
00:13:55You come, and I might consider recommending you.
00:14:03I think I can make it.
00:14:05Good. Oh, it's a pool party. I've delivered some clothes to you.
00:14:15Stun bag!
00:14:17Ugh!
00:14:45Bella?
00:14:47Here you are. I saw your show with Eric. It was amazing.
00:14:51Aw, thanks.
00:14:53Looks like you got what you wanted, Stephanie.
00:14:55Isn't this the swimsuit we bought together eight years ago?
00:14:58An eight-year-old swimsuit? It might fall apart any second.
00:15:04How about I give you a swimsuit? Eric gave me loads of them.
00:15:08That's so sweet, but I think your suit is a little too small in the bust and a little too big in the waist for me.
00:15:15Bella?
00:15:17Now everyone's here, let's play a game.
00:15:21All right, ladies. Put on your blindfolds.
00:15:25The first gentleman you touch will become your partner.
00:15:29Gentlemen, puff out.
00:15:31Puff out.
00:15:42Eric, we're already so distant, yet you still made me come over like a clown? Fine, I'll grant your wish.
00:15:52Count me in.
00:15:55Interesting.
00:16:01Ready?
00:16:10Bella, you're provoking me, huh?
00:16:12Ready? Go!
00:16:19I'd love to see Eric's face when you fall into another guy.
00:16:32Sorry.
00:16:36You okay?
00:16:38Yeah, I'm okay.
00:16:44Eric, when did you join the game?
00:16:51What the heck? Where's Stephanie?
00:16:55Is your back okay?
00:16:57Yeah, no, it's nothing. I'm fine.
00:17:02Now that we're all paired up, let's get this game started.
00:17:20Okay, everybody did really great, but I'm not good at this. I'm out.
00:17:25Come on!
00:17:26Honey, there's no backing out. And Eric, are you really going to surrender in a swimming pool?
00:17:32What a joke.
00:17:34All right, whichever team swims best wins. Relay swimming, tandem, side-by-side swimming, they're already taken, so you can't choose what the other team has picked.
00:17:43We're doing my breaststroke.
00:17:45Wait, you didn't even ask me.
00:17:46Well, I like to make decisions myself, too.
00:17:49Why aren't you wearing the clothes I had delivered to you?
00:17:50I'm not your puppet, Eric.
00:17:51Yeah, well, I'm not your puppet either, so just do as I say.
00:17:55It's the only way to win.
00:17:58It's the only way to win.
00:18:00Hey, you're so childish.
00:18:01You're so childish.
00:18:19Are they swimming facing each other? I've never seen such a romantic swim.
00:18:24We didn't even plan it or discuss it.
00:18:32What are you thinking about?
00:18:38We're engaged.
00:18:40Your wish as well, right?
00:18:43And why would I?
00:18:45Eric's amazing achievements are all because of me.
00:18:48I don't know what to do.
00:18:50I don't know what to do.
00:18:52I don't know what to do.
00:18:54I don't know what to do.
00:18:56I don't know what to do.
00:18:58I don't know what to do.
00:18:59Eric's amazing achievements are all because of me.
00:19:02I put in so many late nights helping him out.
00:19:04We're just meant to be together.
00:19:06What gives you such a big ego?
00:19:09God, you make me want to gag.
00:19:18So you're just leaving?
00:19:20I've done everything you've asked.
00:19:22And I hope that you can still keep your word.
00:19:24Wait, are you really asking me for help?
00:19:26Yes.
00:19:27I need your help, please.
00:19:29Why would I?
00:19:31Fine, if you want to play it like that, I have nothing to say to you.
00:19:34Hey, just...
00:19:36Let me go.
00:19:38Is this how you ask for favors?
00:19:40Remember how you sucked up to David?
00:19:42Now just do the same for me.
00:19:48God, you're not just childish, you're insane.
00:19:53Hello?
00:19:54Spur of the moment, I just want to know what you've been up to.
00:19:57Mom!
00:19:58Hey, Troy.
00:20:00I miss you so much.
00:20:02I miss you, baby.
00:20:04You have a kid, with him.
00:20:06With you, Eric.
00:20:08Why are you bullying my mom?
00:20:10Your mom slapped me, kid.
00:20:12You make her work on weekends.
00:20:14You deserve that.
00:20:16Mom, let's go.
00:20:18Daddy's waiting.
00:20:25Eric Holmes, you're such a fool for trying to win her back.
00:20:33You think a couple blank pages can mess me up?
00:20:36Yeah, I have no clue what you're talking about.
00:20:39You should leave.
00:20:41I have to prepare for Short's news.
00:20:46My dad only promised Dot to fire you.
00:20:49He said nothing about letting you continue to work.
00:20:51You might be the host of Short News,
00:20:54but to keep your spot, you need talent and serious hard work,
00:20:57not just a powerful dad.
00:20:59Who says having a powerful dad doesn't help?
00:21:02If it weren't for Mr. Holmes, you'd be out of here right now.
00:21:06Keep your mouth shut.
00:21:08He picked me because I got the award for new host, okay?
00:21:11I deserved it.
00:21:13Bella Emerson.
00:21:18This is where everyone was hiding.
00:21:20Mr. Holmes, what brings you here?
00:21:23Mr. Levy, that show.
00:21:25Oh, yes, that show you suggested.
00:21:28It's, um...
00:21:30Eric suggested it, but he said...
00:21:32It's a brilliant idea.
00:21:35You can discuss the details with Mia.
00:21:37Mia just earned her MSc in Media and Communications
00:21:42from Manchester Open University.
00:21:44She is a...
00:21:46You spent all that money to go abroad for a show?
00:21:49For a diploma mill?
00:21:51It's better than going to a community college where you work half-time.
00:21:53Bella, you didn't end up at Princeton?
00:21:56What actually happened?
00:21:58Well, in that case, why not have Bella and Mia compete
00:22:01to see who's best suited to host the show?
00:22:03Just choose a script and...
00:22:06have them read it.
00:22:09Eric, what are you trying to do?
00:22:19I...
00:22:27I...
00:22:35Here's the script for the test.
00:22:50Oh, Bella.
00:22:53You're screwed.
00:23:07The competition begin.
00:23:13A rhomzoologist says the Italian capital has become a proper jungle.
00:23:16A rhomzoologist has just said the Italian capital has become a proper jungle.
00:23:29What the fuck?!
00:23:32You stupid idiots!
00:23:34My father paid to hire you and you didn't even help?!
00:23:37Call 911!
00:23:39Then it looks like we just found two of them right now.
00:23:42Bravo!
00:23:44Wow, what do you think, Umberto?
00:23:46Bella is the host for your show, sir.
00:23:49I think so, too.
00:23:56Looking forward to working with you, Ms. Emerson.
00:24:07You will always be the smuggler.
00:24:09You will always be the smuggler.
00:24:18You owe me a thank you.
00:24:20What?
00:24:22Helping keep your job.
00:24:24I kept my job in my own merit.
00:24:26Plus, Humbert said that he wouldn't fire me.
00:24:28You're really going to believe that guy?
00:24:30That's none of your business.
00:24:32I spoke to Humbert.
00:24:34We're calling the show Keeping Up with Eric Holmes.
00:24:36So, you're recycling your old name.
00:24:37So, you don't know what you really want, do you?
00:24:41What are you doing?
00:24:43I thought my only goal was to show you that I succeeded.
00:24:48But forget all that.
00:24:52All I really want is you.
00:24:54Control yourself, Mr. Holmes.
00:24:56I'm a married woman with a kid.
00:25:03Married woman without a ring?
00:25:04Married woman without a ring?
00:25:07He's not going to marry you, huh?
00:25:11What are you, his mistress?
00:25:13I shouldn't be soft-hearted.
00:25:15He's hopeless.
00:25:25Hey, man.
00:25:27You called me here in an emergency, but you're just swimming.
00:25:29Not saying anything.
00:25:31I messed it up.
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:35What'd you end up doing?
00:25:38No, Mom.
00:25:40These are all for you, Brian continued to explain.
00:25:42Love is when you rushed over when I fell.
00:25:56Eric's just like his dad.
00:25:58Shh.
00:26:03Oh.
00:26:05I have a feeling he still loves you, you know?
00:26:08No, all he wants to do is torture me.
00:26:11Hate means he cares.
00:26:15Maybe it's time we tell him the truth.
00:26:18No, it's too late.
00:26:20He's engaged.
00:26:22But, honey.
00:26:24Troy needs a dad.
00:26:33What the hell, man?
00:26:35Yeah, if I was Bella, I would have totally beaten you up.
00:26:38I don't know.
00:26:40Every time I see her, I just want to talk to her, but I keep getting on her nerves.
00:26:45Okay, chill out.
00:26:47I can tell she still has feelings for you.
00:26:49But she's kept so much from me.
00:26:51She didn't even go to Princeton.
00:26:53She just went to a community college.
00:26:55Yeah.
00:26:57I heard her family went bankrupt eight years ago, so...
00:26:59What?
00:27:01If I knew she was struggling, I would have helped.
00:27:05Are you serious about winning her back?
00:27:07Yes.
00:27:09Then stop attacking and open up to her.
00:27:13The Keeping Up With Eric Holmes crew is coming tomorrow.
00:27:17I'll talk to her then.
00:27:20A woman's heart is the most precious thing a man can have.
00:27:31Oh, awesome taste!
00:27:34Oh, wow.
00:27:36This painting is so...
00:27:38so beautiful.
00:27:40Isn't that the water lilies painting that was on my porch?
00:27:43How did he get it?
00:27:45He doesn't know what happened to my family, does he?
00:27:50Mr. Holmes!
00:27:52I brought you a flat white.
00:27:54Give it a go.
00:27:56It'll give you a really cool, exotic vibe.
00:27:58Exotic?
00:28:00Hold on, this has almond milk in it.
00:28:02She remembers I'm allergic to almond milk.
00:28:04I knew she's still scared.
00:28:06What's wrong with almond milk?
00:28:08I'm allergic to almond milk.
00:28:10Ms. Levy?
00:28:12Looks like you didn't do your homework.
00:28:14I'm so sorry, Mr. Holmes.
00:28:16Mr. Holmes, please don't be mad at her.
00:28:18Thank you, Ms. Emerson.
00:28:22We have to get ready for the recording now.
00:28:24No rush.
00:28:26Could we look around, Mr. Holmes?
00:28:27Make yourself at home.
00:28:33They're full of our memories.
00:28:35How much do you remember?
00:28:40Why does he keep all this?
00:28:43It's just going to drive Stephanie nuts.
00:28:48Oh, the finish!
00:28:50The texture!
00:28:52This has to be an Elizabethan pepper shaker.
00:28:54How impressive!
00:28:56Oh, you're serious?
00:28:58No, I got that from a high school field trip.
00:29:00I bought it from an old lady for like $10.
00:29:02Well, this ceramic mug with its unique shapes and colors,
00:29:06it must be a medieval masterpiece.
00:29:11You know what?
00:29:13I actually think it looks more like a botched DIY mug
00:29:15than a teenager mood.
00:29:20I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes.
00:29:22Bella!
00:29:24How could you break Mr. Holmes' precious things?
00:29:27How could you break Mr. Holmes' precious things?
00:29:29Okay, I didn't do that.
00:29:31It's not a big deal.
00:29:33This way she won't feel guilty.
00:29:35Right.
00:29:37I was foolish to think he still cared.
00:29:40What's this?
00:29:42Elementary school math?
00:29:46Well, actually, this room hides a treasure.
00:29:48And that equation is the clue to its location.
00:29:53Isn't the answer already there?
00:29:57I'll give the treasure to whoever finds it first.
00:30:01Dad, help me.
00:30:04Dad, help me.
00:30:25What do you think you're doing?
00:30:27You can't afford to break another thing.
00:30:34Incredible.
00:30:39You know,
00:30:41if you take the number of vertices in a polyhedron
00:30:44and then subtract the number of edges
00:30:47and then add the number of faces,
00:30:49you always get two.
00:30:51Okay.
00:30:53Can you please stop cramming my head with weird stuff?
00:30:55I'm good.
00:30:57It's called Euler characteristic.
00:30:59It's the second most beautiful function.
00:31:01You, Bella,
00:31:04would be the most beautiful.
00:31:07And where did you get that cheesy line from?
00:31:11I'm going to let it slide.
00:31:13Just this once.
00:31:31You know,
00:31:33I wanted to give this to the girl I love, but
00:31:36she broke my heart.
00:31:38If so, then why still keep it?
00:31:43This stupid woman would cry her eyes out
00:31:45if she knew everything you've accomplished.
00:31:47Why not give it to me?
00:31:49I'd appreciate it so much more.
00:31:56Has she ever changed her mind?
00:31:58No.
00:32:01I take her back.
00:32:05Do you think
00:32:07she'd change her mind if she knew I still loved her?
00:32:10Ms. Emerson?
00:32:12I...
00:32:14Excuse me.
00:32:27I won't let you leave me again, Bella.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:33That's it.
00:32:35Now I'm permanently scarred for
00:32:37trying to save the girl
00:32:39who nearly hit the rebar in the pool.
00:32:42Well, it turns out that every scar
00:32:44Mr. Holmes has is tied to love.
00:32:46Thank you for watching this inaugural episode
00:32:48of Keeping Up with Eric Holmes.
00:32:53Great act, Bella.
00:32:55That's a wrap!
00:33:01Can you leave?
00:33:03I'm changing.
00:33:05And you still haven't answered my question.
00:33:15Do you think she'd change her mind
00:33:17if she knew I still loved her?
00:33:20Oh, damn.
00:33:22He's engaged.
00:33:24What's wrong with him?
00:33:26I don't know.
00:33:28I don't know.
00:33:30Mr. Holmes,
00:33:32are you sure that it's real love?
00:33:34What do you mean?
00:33:37What do you mean?
00:33:39The past.
00:33:41It's like that broken mug, okay?
00:33:43I don't think that it can be put back together.
00:33:46For the last eight years,
00:33:49you're the one that's kept me
00:33:51from hitting rock bottom.
00:33:53Eight years.
00:33:56I've thought about you every single day,
00:33:58wondering what you're doing,
00:34:01why you ended things the way you did,
00:34:05if you achieved your dream.
00:34:07Eric, I sincerely apologize.
00:34:09If you want revenge,
00:34:11do as you wish, but please,
00:34:13please do not mess with my career, okay?
00:34:15I have worked tirelessly
00:34:17to get to where I am today.
00:34:19Please.
00:34:27Bella,
00:34:29I mean it.
00:34:32Bella, calm down.
00:34:34He's engaged.
00:34:36His future is bright.
00:34:38How dare you ruin his life?
00:34:40I'm sorry.
00:34:42I've moved on.
00:34:53Have you moved on?
00:34:57I love you.
00:34:59I want to talk to you.
00:35:01I want to kiss you.
00:35:04I want to touch every inch of your skin.
00:35:07I want you.
00:35:11I want you.
00:35:27I'm sorry.
00:35:29We can't do this.
00:35:31I'm sorry. I'm out of my mind right now.
00:35:33What are you hiding?
00:35:39Bella, where are you?
00:35:41Troy's sick. Get home.
00:35:46Bella, wait!
00:35:48Okay, can you just forget
00:35:50about what happened with us
00:35:52and please stop following me?
00:35:54Bella, we need to talk.
00:35:58Dave.
00:36:00What the hell?
00:36:02Okay, where is Troy?
00:36:04Look, don't worry. He's fine.
00:36:06I had to lie to get you home
00:36:08because you are a workaholic.
00:36:10Oh my God, screw you.
00:36:12Dave, okay, you guys are freaking me out.
00:36:14I'm sorry.
00:36:15It looks like she's been happy all along.
00:36:17Did I miss something?
00:36:19Can you help me get rid of him, please?
00:36:24Eric, right?
00:36:26I'm Bella's husband.
00:36:28Nice to meet you.
00:36:30I'm her ex-boyfriend.
00:36:32Come on.
00:36:34Just ditch him.
00:36:39Say, we were about to celebrate
00:36:41Bella's birthday.
00:36:42Why don't you join us?
00:36:47You flashy brat.
00:36:49Let's see what you're really made of.
00:36:51It'd be my pleasure.
00:36:56Oh man, Troy's dad's got strong hands.
00:36:59Okay, if Eric finds out
00:37:01that Troy's his kid, we are done.
00:37:03Okay, stop it.
00:37:05Easy, girl.
00:37:07Don't you always say
00:37:09you want to find out his true feelings?
00:37:10Let me test him for you.
00:37:19Mom, guess what?
00:37:21Eric's a champion swimmer.
00:37:23He's got a breaststroke.
00:37:25How did you get such a good friend?
00:37:27Yeah, right.
00:37:29Troy says the breaststroke is his favorite.
00:37:31You really surprised me there, buddy.
00:37:33Eric, can you tell me more
00:37:35about your gold medals?
00:37:37Yeah, yeah, I'd be happy to.
00:37:38So, actually...
00:37:47Eric,
00:37:49my mom says people who
00:37:51cut their spaghetti are weird.
00:37:53Are you weird, too?
00:37:55Well, if your mom says so,
00:37:57then I guess we're both weirdos.
00:38:01So, David, right?
00:38:05How long have you known Bella?
00:38:06Oh, you're asking the wrong guy, man.
00:38:09Uh, well, let me think about it.
00:38:12Uh,
00:38:14we've known each other
00:38:16since we were
00:38:1812 months?
00:38:22Um, that's great.
00:38:24You have such a great memory, sweetheart.
00:38:27Come here.
00:38:31How about that, dude?
00:38:33Let me see your fire for Bella.
00:38:34So, what do you do for work?
00:38:36Damn, what should I do for work?
00:38:39My dad's a fashion designer.
00:38:41His dad wanted him to take over
00:38:43the family bank, but
00:38:45he decided to design clothes.
00:38:49So, you're not the son
00:38:51of the B&N dirt?
00:38:53Uh, uh,
00:38:55no, well, you see,
00:38:57the thing is, my dad owns
00:38:59a share in both the bank
00:39:01and B&N.
00:39:03Well, let's talk about you, Mr. Holmes.
00:39:06I hear swimmers don't exactly
00:39:08make that much money.
00:39:10Not much, but
00:39:12I do own an athleisure brand
00:39:14that's valued at $1.3 billion this year.
00:39:18$1.3 billion?
00:39:20It's not a big deal,
00:39:22although I am
00:39:24the only one on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list
00:39:26that achieved their success
00:39:28through entrepreneurship
00:39:30as opposed to a career
00:39:32of inheritance.
00:39:33Oh.
00:39:38It's getting a little hot in here,
00:39:39don't you think?
00:39:49Do you want to go grab
00:39:51plates with me?
00:39:53Come on.
00:40:03Okay, he is super rich
00:40:06and hot,
00:40:08and I swear he still has feelings for you.
00:40:11He can give you way better life.
00:40:14We almost ended up
00:40:16in bed together this afternoon.
00:40:18What?
00:40:20We almost ended up
00:40:22in bed together this afternoon.
00:40:24What?
00:40:28Oh,
00:40:30he must be amazing
00:40:32in bed.
00:40:35Broke things off with his fiancé though, right?
00:40:38Okay, that's the thing, right?
00:40:40He wants to be with me,
00:40:42but he's avoiding talking about her.
00:40:44What the fork?
00:40:46You did?
00:40:48No, no, but I was overwhelmed.
00:40:51You did the right thing.
00:40:53I shouldn't have pushed you
00:40:55to make up with him, okay?
00:40:57I mean, he can't just expect
00:40:59to come back after all these years
00:41:00and avoiding responsibilities
00:41:02just to enjoy the benefits.
00:41:04It's just crap.
00:41:10I do feel better now.
00:41:12He wouldn't be half as successful
00:41:14without you.
00:41:16Well, it's all meaningless now, isn't it?
00:41:23Scumbag.
00:41:25I'm going to stand up for Bella
00:41:27and teach him a lesson.
00:41:29Hmm.
00:41:37Meet up and leave.
00:41:39We need to rest.
00:41:41Uh, Troy has school tomorrow.
00:41:44Oh, you're right.
00:41:46It's a bit too late.
00:41:48I'll get going.
00:41:50See you, kiddo.
00:41:52Bye.
00:41:59Mom?
00:42:01Is this Eric's wallet?
00:42:13Bella.
00:42:18Eric!
00:42:20Eric!
00:42:28Eric!
00:42:36Hey!
00:42:37What are you doing out here?
00:42:38I thought I heard-
00:42:39Why are you back?
00:42:40I forgot my wallet.
00:42:42Right.
00:42:43You left this.
00:42:45Thanks.
00:42:46Yeah, right.
00:42:47Um, it's just that-
00:42:48I didn't open it.
00:42:50You can look to see if anything's missing.
00:42:53It's not necessary.
00:42:56Look,
00:42:57I was out of line today.
00:42:59Sorry.
00:43:02You're a great mother
00:43:03and a wife.
00:43:05I shouldn't have-
00:43:06Let's, um, forget about it.
00:43:07It's fine.
00:43:11We had some good memories, though.
00:43:14In the past.
00:43:15Yeah, but bygones be bygones.
00:43:18We're still friends, though, right?
00:43:22Yeah.
00:43:23Yeah, we're-
00:43:28Mm.
00:43:36Oh, God.
00:43:37He remembered my birthday?
00:43:43Happy belated birthday, Bella.
00:43:45Thanks.
00:43:47Bye.
00:43:58I'm sorry.
00:44:00For kicking him out.
00:44:02No.
00:44:03You did a good job.
00:44:04I just-
00:44:06I should have let him go sooner.
00:44:10I thought pretending to be straight was hard.
00:44:13I forgot how hard it is
00:44:14for you to hide your love.
00:44:18Let's pick something
00:44:19to cheer Mom up.
00:44:22What about this?
00:44:26Mommy looks good in anything.
00:44:32Since you just got your new bonus,
00:44:35you need to buy it for me.
00:44:37And why would I buy you a gift?
00:44:38Oh.
00:44:39After pretending to be your straight daughter,
00:44:41you're going to buy me a gift?
00:44:43I'm not going to buy you a gift.
00:44:45I'm not going to buy you a gift.
00:44:47I'm not going to buy you a gift.
00:44:48I'm not going to buy you a gift.
00:44:49I'm not going to buy you a gift.
00:44:50After pretending to be your straight husband,
00:44:52I was allergic for days.
00:44:54Oh.
00:44:55You owe me.
00:44:57Okay.
00:44:58I'm going to go pee.
00:44:59So, sweeties,
00:45:00serve yourself.
00:45:01Okay?
00:45:02Okay.
00:45:03Okay.
00:45:19Oh, hey.
00:45:22Ma'am,
00:45:23I don't think we have anything here for you.
00:45:25Zara's out the door to your left.
00:45:28Also,
00:45:29we don't welcome pets and children.
00:45:34I'm sorry, miss,
00:45:35but this is a pet and kid-friendly shopping mall.
00:45:37And please don't lay your hands on my son.
00:45:40This
00:45:41is a limited edition dress.
00:45:44Worth $5,000.
00:45:46You can't afford it.
00:45:48Excuse me,
00:45:49but my mom is the host of Short TV.
00:45:51She even won an award.
00:45:52She can afford anything here.
00:45:54What's the name again?
00:45:56Never heard of it.
00:45:58It's not your fault you're uneducated.
00:45:59Okay.
00:46:00Don't do that.
00:46:01You know what?
00:46:02We're just going to go.
00:46:03That's fine.
00:46:10Stop!
00:46:11You've ruined this outfit.
00:46:14And now you need to pay for it.
00:46:17Mommy, I won't intrude and go on my promise.
00:46:19If you want compensation,
00:46:20you have to prove it.
00:46:21Because otherwise my son is innocent.
00:46:23Like mother, like son,
00:46:25you rascal bitch.
00:46:27Your kid said you're some famous host.
00:46:30I'm going to post your photos online.
00:46:33You ugly woman.
00:46:34You're just picking on us
00:46:35because my dad's not here.
00:46:36Cute little bastard.
00:46:38Watch your mouth.
00:46:39Security!
00:46:42This woman who claims to be a famous host
00:46:44is bullying me.
00:46:52Even if your husband comes back,
00:46:54he couldn't help you.
00:46:56Daddy David, where are you?
00:46:58No, that's right.
00:47:00Looks like your boy abandoned you.
00:47:05Hey, man.
00:47:07Aren't you two going to sleep together or something?
00:47:09Why didn't you ask her about what happened eight years ago?
00:47:11It's hopeless now.
00:47:13She's happy with her husband and son.
00:47:16Her husband, what's his name?
00:47:18David?
00:47:19Haven't you dug into his background?
00:47:21I swear there's something seriously wrong with him.
00:47:23Dad, help.
00:47:24Mommy got hurt.
00:47:25Mommy got hurt.
00:47:29Guys, check this out.
00:47:31This kid's so desperate to avoid punishment
00:47:34that he found this random guy on the street to be his dad.
00:47:37What a bummer.
00:47:39Hey, Eric.
00:47:40Sir.
00:47:42Don't be fooled by them.
00:47:43How dare you touch my wife and son.
00:47:56Not bad.
00:48:05OMG.
00:48:07Are you Eric Holmes?
00:48:09The legendary swimming champion?
00:48:12In the flesh.
00:48:15Sir, you're too kind,
00:48:17but this woman and her kid don't deserve your help.
00:48:20Troy asked me for help, so now I'm his dad.
00:48:23And, of course, your husband, too.
00:48:27Mr. Holmes, I can't believe I'm meeting you in person.
00:48:31And I watched your TV show.
00:48:33It's awesome.
00:48:34Oh, really?
00:48:35Then how come you don't recognize my wife?
00:48:38Oh, my.
00:48:40You really are his wife.
00:48:43I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Holmes.
00:48:46This was all just a misunderstanding.
00:48:48Can we let it go?
00:48:50I gave you that chance.
00:48:52I think you should get your manager now,
00:48:54and then we'll let the cameras do the talking.
00:48:56If my kid is innocent,
00:48:58I will make sure that my wife and kid
00:49:02get the justice they deserve.
00:49:17Apologize!
00:49:19Mr. Holmes, I'm sorry. I...
00:49:22How does it feel now?
00:49:23If a kid had no trust or support,
00:49:25where would they end up?
00:49:28If a kid had no trust or support,
00:49:30where would they end up?
00:49:32I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes.
00:49:34And you are fired!
00:49:36No!
00:49:37No!
00:49:43Eric, how old and tall are you?
00:49:46I'm 26 years old and 6 feet tall.
00:49:51Are you single?
00:49:53Troy!
00:49:54Mom, I wish Eric was my dad.
00:49:57Troy, if Daddy heard you,
00:49:59he would be really sad to hear that.
00:50:01Okay?
00:50:02Hey, let's pick something out for your mom, huh?
00:50:04What do you think suits her?
00:50:06Could I get...
00:50:08that one.
00:50:11That one and...
00:50:14that one over there.
00:50:15If I could have that wrapped up.
00:50:17I can't afford these.
00:50:19I can't afford these.
00:50:21I can.
00:50:22Okay, I don't need you buying things for me, though.
00:50:24Hey, it would be my honor as your husband.
00:50:27Plus, you're gonna need a lot more if you're gonna be hosting.
00:50:32What about that red one over there?
00:50:33It'd be nice on camera.
00:50:36Could I get that one wrapped up?
00:50:37Sure.
00:50:38Thank you, sir.
00:50:39I'll have them all set for you.
00:50:44But I have to go home now.
00:50:46If you need me,
00:50:47anytime.
00:50:48Just call me.
00:50:51I can't believe I queued forever for these.
00:50:54They are gonna be brought to tears.
00:50:58OMG.
00:51:03Has this place been robbed?
00:51:06Mark my words.
00:51:09Oops.
00:51:11My bad.
00:51:14My bad.
00:51:23Peanut butter and...
00:51:25banana.
00:51:27Very tasty.
00:51:32I'm David.
00:51:34And what's your name?
00:51:36Lucas.
00:51:37Heard a lot about you.
00:51:39Oh.
00:51:41Are you sure?
00:51:44Well, it seems like I'm quite popular.
00:51:57Eric, you idiot.
00:51:58I knew something was off.
00:52:05Oh, he's got fantastic taste.
00:52:09Second only to me, of course.
00:52:11Don't make me waver, David.
00:52:15Honey,
00:52:16I can't pretend to be your husband anymore.
00:52:19I've got a crush on someone.
00:52:21No way.
00:52:22Wait, who is it?
00:52:23Oh, his name is Lucas Wayne.
00:52:27And he is much hotter than Eric.
00:52:29You've got to be kidding me.
00:52:31That's Eric's best bud.
00:52:33Why is he so lucky?
00:52:35No, that's not the point.
00:52:36Okay, dating him is going to expose our secret.
00:52:38Trust me.
00:52:40I won't spill the beans.
00:52:49Bella, congratulations.
00:52:58Bella, congratulations.
00:53:01Your show with Eric hit the highest ratings in its slot.
00:53:05Please, have a seat.
00:53:06Can we get to the point?
00:53:10I'm promoting you back to short news.
00:53:12What?
00:53:13No.
00:53:14How could you let her steal my show?
00:53:16Your low-rated show.
00:53:17I hope you both bring short news back to glory.
00:53:21Dual hosts.
00:53:23Oh, you wanted a solo.
00:53:25Yeah, and dream on.
00:53:27You both have unique styles.
00:53:29You'll complement each other.
00:53:31I really hope that you mean that, Humbert.
00:53:36Okay, I don't buy it.
00:53:38Dad, how could you do this to me?
00:53:40I'll ditch her as soon as this show and your name blow up.
00:54:00Thanks for looking after her.
00:54:02Only for Bella.
00:54:04Bye.
00:54:05See ya.
00:54:18Thank you for not telling Eric I'm not really Bella's husband.
00:54:22There's no hiding from lovers' eyes.
00:54:24If they're meant to be together, they'll find a way.
00:54:30I love you.
00:54:43Eric, I'm craving for Madeline cake.
00:54:45Could you bring some on your way to the maternity clinic?
00:54:48Stephanie?
00:54:49Bella.
00:54:50Oops, my fault.
00:54:52Ever since I got pregnant, my brain's been all over the place.
00:54:56Is that so?
00:54:57Eric always says I'm getting dumber.
00:54:59Anyway, I'll hang up now.
00:55:01See ya.
00:55:05Glad you reached out.
00:55:06I've already sent Bella's comeback gift.
00:55:08Now it's your turn.
00:55:10I'll make sure her return debut is a complete disaster.
00:55:14Can't wait.
00:55:28Oh, uh, this is darker than the shade that I normally use.
00:55:32That shade is out.
00:55:33Don't be so picky.
00:55:36You know, I can use mine.
00:55:38Do you want to hand me the brush?
00:55:40If you don't trust my skill, then you can do it yourself.
00:55:43We're live in 15 minutes.
00:55:47Take your time, Bella.
00:55:55Oops!
00:55:57Bella, you look like shit.
00:55:59We're live in five.
00:56:06Oh, come here.
00:56:07We can watch from here without disturbing anyone.
00:56:12Eric, where's my mom?
00:56:14Hey, don't worry.
00:56:15They always say best for last.
00:56:23Bella, you are late.
00:56:25Broadcasting is not a catwalk.
00:56:28Don't mess it up.
00:56:34Good evening, everyone.
00:56:35This is Short News Brief But Not Haste.
00:56:37I am Bella Emerson.
00:56:38And I'm Mia Levy.
00:56:39Here are the first news of the day.
00:56:41And in our last report of the day, a 52-year-old woman has tragically collapsed and died in
00:56:59a gym this afternoon.
00:57:01Reports suggest that she was trying to lose 20 pounds in just one week, which led to this
00:57:05heartbreaking incident.
00:57:07So, Bella, do you think the gym should be responsible for this incident?
00:57:25Looks like Bella has yet to get in that short-snooze rhythm.
00:57:28In this case...
00:57:29Focus the camera on Mia.
00:57:31Airtime is earned.
00:57:33That's odd.
00:57:35Mom's in trouble.
00:57:36Hey, don't worry.
00:57:37She's got this.
00:57:42And after reviewing our legal responsibilities, we also want to encourage people to lose weight
00:57:46rationally.
00:57:51Time to wrap it up.
00:57:52That concludes...
00:57:53I want to apologize for the earlier report from Miss Levy that made us misjudge this
00:57:58kind and selfless mother.
00:58:00Bella!
00:58:01How dare you!
00:58:02Bella's tragedy is entirely because she was actually trying to get a liver transplant
00:58:07for her son.
00:58:08To support him, Short News is donating $10,000 for his surgery.
00:58:13Bella!
00:58:14And additionally, Short News is opening up a support hotline to honor the mother's legacy.
00:58:20And I'm sure my co-anchor, Mia, will donate, correct?
00:58:25That concludes today's Short News.
00:58:27I am Bella Emerson.
00:58:28Who told you?
00:58:30You are blowing up!
00:58:31Everyone's asking for the donation account number!
00:58:34Hey, let's go home.
00:58:37How are the ratings?
00:58:38Number one.
00:58:39Woohoo!
00:58:42Mr. Holmes donated $100,000!
00:58:56So, Troy, your dad's not a very reliable husband, huh?
00:58:59Missing your mom's big moment?
00:59:02Husband?
00:59:03He's not her husband.
00:59:04He's not my dad either.
00:59:07What?
00:59:09Well, Mom said he was the first one I called Daddy, so it stuck.
00:59:20Mom, you did so good today.
00:59:25What are you and Troy doing together?
00:59:27David asked Eric to come and help.
00:59:30That doesn't make any sense.
00:59:32We're making apple pie.
00:59:33We can make it while we wait for him.
00:59:36Stephanie is waiting for him and he comes over and flirts with me?
00:59:39Eric, what the hell are you doing?
00:59:42Come on, Mom.
00:59:57Didn't we agree to just be friends?
00:59:59Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?
01:00:15Troy, can you get me some eggs, please?
01:00:17What? Me and Eric already put eggs.
01:00:19Go, please.
01:00:21Fine.
01:00:22Fine.
01:00:25Okay, you need to be more respectful, Mr. Holmes.
01:00:27My husband could come home any minute.
01:00:29If you needed someone to step up and be Troy's dad, you could have asked me instead of your best friend.
01:00:33What?
01:00:36Troy told me everything.
01:00:38Why did you lie? You know full well how I feel about you.
01:00:41You're ridiculous.
01:00:43Why do you look at me like that? What did I do?
01:00:45You don't know.
01:00:46You don't know.
01:00:48Okay, well, while you were flirting here with me, your fiancé and unborn child were waiting for you.
01:00:54Fiancé and unborn child? What are you talking about?
01:00:59Fiancé and unborn child? What are you talking about?
01:01:02Stephanie Hill?
01:01:04Your fiancé?
01:01:06She's pregnant, right?
01:01:07Stephanie's pregnant?
01:01:10What?
01:01:11I'm not engaged to Stephanie. I have nothing to do with her.
01:01:14I didn't say she's single.
01:01:20Bella, it doesn't matter what you hear from everyone.
01:01:24You're the one I always wanted.
01:01:28I'm going to go sort things out with Stephanie.
01:01:34When I was a kid, I thought I'd always be with you.
01:01:37Yeah, but you're my sister.
01:01:39You know, I felt I've always been too easy on you.
01:01:43Eric, what are you trying to say?
01:01:47Stephanie, why did you lie about being engaged?
01:01:51Did you lie about being pregnant?
01:01:52What else have you lied about?
01:01:56Eric, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you.
01:02:00You're my sister.
01:02:03But I don't want to be your sister.
01:02:05I want to be your wife.
01:02:06I'll give you everything you need. I won't leave you like Bella does.
01:02:11One day, you'll understand.
01:02:14When the person comes into your life, everyone else is just a compromise.
01:02:20I don't want to be a compromise.
01:02:25Don't go.
01:02:27Stephanie, please.
01:02:29Stephanie, please.
01:02:32Don't go.
01:02:33Stephanie, please.
01:02:36Don't get ahead of yourself, Eric.
01:02:38I separated you eight years ago and I can do it again.
01:02:42Hey.
01:02:43Yeah, I got some updates.
01:02:45Want to meet at the cafe?
01:02:51Would you join me for breakfast, my lady?
01:02:54Women don't like to be questioned.
01:02:58Join me for breakfast.
01:03:00That's too demanding now.
01:03:04Breakfast is ready.
01:03:06And I can't eat without you.
01:03:10Okay, are you morally and legally available, sir?
01:03:14Yes.
01:03:16Every inch of me is ready.
01:03:19Okay.
01:03:20We can go.
01:03:29Hey, Oliver.
01:03:30Big name swimmer.
01:03:31Are you being sarcastic because I get silver medals all the time?
01:03:35What do you want, Stephanie Hill?
01:03:37My archenemy's sidekick?
01:03:39I'm here to help you exchange your silver medal for a gold one.
01:03:44This testimony from your former teen doctor proves that Eric doped.
01:03:48He has Eric's actual urine test that was replaced back then.
01:03:51What did Eric do to make you want to do this to him?
01:03:54Aren't you excited?
01:03:56You can finally beat Eric, take back your gold medal, and win back Bella Emerson,
01:04:01the girl you loved at first sight.
01:04:04Interesting.
01:04:06What do you want?
01:04:09I want to be with you forever.
01:04:11Forever.
01:04:13Forever.
01:04:15Forever.
01:04:17Forever.
01:04:19Forever.
01:04:21Eric Holmes, Oliver Scott exposed you as a secret doper. Is this true?
01:04:25What's your response to the urine test Oliver exposed?
01:04:27Hey, no more questions.
01:04:34Okay, what did you say?
01:04:36It looks like Eric didn't tell you.
01:04:39He's caught up in a doping scandal.
01:04:41His gold medals are in jeopardy.
01:04:43That must be some mistake.
01:04:45Given his scandal, his show has been cancelled.
01:04:48And?
01:04:50You're fired, bitch.
01:04:52You're going to regret this.
01:04:54Oh, no, you will, for supporting him.
01:04:56His company stocks are crashing.
01:04:58He's going to be broke and in debt soon.
01:05:08So, why haven't you been answering your phone?
01:05:13Sorry the investors kept calling.
01:05:14I didn't do it, you know.
01:05:16The doping, I mean.
01:05:18I know.
01:05:22I thought I finally became this person that you could lean on.
01:05:29And now I just feel like a burden to you.
01:05:31No, look, don't feel that way.
01:05:33You never have been.
01:05:36Why don't you go to work?
01:05:40Oh.
01:05:42Oh.
01:05:44My fault.
01:05:46No, Humbert has had an in for me for a long time.
01:05:48The only reason why I've been working this long is because of you.
01:05:56Hey, we're, um, we're both losers now.
01:06:00I think we are finally the perfect match.
01:06:03You got a good sense of humor, Emerson.
01:06:07Yeah, well, you do pick up some traits from the people you hang out with.
01:06:12Hey.
01:06:16From now on, we face everything together.
01:06:21Okay.
01:06:42Hey, Eric, I have an emergency.
01:06:44I'm going to catch up with you later.
01:06:46Okay.
01:06:56You got something?
01:07:01I think it's time for me to go.
01:07:03Okay.
01:07:05Bye.
01:07:07Bye.
01:07:09I think it's time to give me the keys back to my house.
01:07:12You're so ruthless.
01:07:14Please leave. I'm busy.
01:07:17My parents happen to be your investor's friend and are willing to help.
01:07:22Good pro quo.
01:07:25Is that how you see me after living together for 20 years?
01:07:29Okay.
01:07:31You win.
01:07:33I want you to leave her.
01:07:35After that, I'll prove your innocence.
01:07:37What a coincidence.
01:07:39I mean, I just made up with Bella, and then this happens.
01:07:44And you, who happens to be powerful and rich, have come to help just in time.
01:07:50You caused all of this, didn't you?
01:07:52Eric.
01:07:54Why are you doing this?
01:07:56You waited only eight years for her.
01:07:59But I waited 20 years for you.
01:08:02You know what waiting feels like?
01:08:03These are just your obsessions.
01:08:05I'd rather be a regular person.
01:08:14It's kind of weird to hang out with my crush.
01:08:17Why did you frame Eric?
01:08:21Why did you frame Eric?
01:08:23I didn't.
01:08:25He played dirty to win me.
01:08:27No, he wouldn't do that.
01:08:29I'm sorry.
01:08:30No, he wouldn't do that.
01:08:33Bella, I've liked you since high school.
01:08:36Please, just cut the crap.
01:08:38The reason is jealousy, then.
01:08:40Look, just agree to have one date with me.
01:08:42Once.
01:08:44I can give up my gold medal for you.
01:08:46That gold medal is Eric's.
01:08:48Whatever.
01:08:50Deal?
01:08:57Whatever comes.
01:08:58I know Bella will be there to face it with me.
01:09:00Do you think she feels the same way?
01:09:02Do you think this is the future she wants?
01:09:08Bella is out on a date with the new swim genius at the pool.
01:09:12Don't you get it?
01:09:14She only loves geniuses.
01:09:29What are we waiting for?
01:09:31We'll see.
01:09:34Oh, hi.
01:09:36I'm fine.
01:09:40Let's have a match.
01:09:42Fair and square.
01:09:44Are you really just messing around with Stephanie
01:09:46so you can have this naive, childish competition with me?
01:09:48Well, I purposely chose a time when you wouldn't be using steroids.
01:09:51If you win, I'll drop the charges.
01:09:54I prepared your swimsuit.
01:09:59I'll be right back.
01:10:21I can't believe I suspected you of doping.
01:10:24Thanks for the compliment.
01:10:26That's about yourself.
01:10:28Thank you for being here with me. It's a dream come true.
01:10:32No problem.
01:10:33I'll give you two some space and go get things back on track.
01:10:40I'm sorry. I know I said that we were going to tackle things together, but I-
01:10:49Bella, you bitch. How does it feel to be caught in the act?
01:10:55Where's Oliver?
01:10:56Stephanie, you let me down. If you dare hurt Bella again, I-
01:10:59Bella! Bella! It's always about Bella!
01:11:01She went bankrupt and lost her parents eight years ago, and now she's been fired from short TV?
01:11:06You know what happened eight years ago?
01:11:10What did you do?
01:11:11I- I saved you, okay?
01:11:16Hello?
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:19Yeah, okay, got it. Yeah.
01:11:22Adam spoke to my former swim doctor.
01:11:26He admitted to falsifying the evidence.
01:11:30Stephanie, I'm not going to hold you responsible, and these are going to be my last words to you.
01:11:38Eric!
01:11:44You idiot. Happy now?
01:11:47I'm Oliver Scott. 24 years old, 6'2", 180 pounds.
01:11:53I have an apartment, a Chevy, $75,000 a year, and a dog named Pebby.
01:12:00What's wrong with you?
01:12:01I'm not going to leave you waiting.
01:12:03Are you serious? After knowing me for who I am?
01:12:06Yes, I am. I love your determination.
01:12:13But I love my stepbrother Eric.
01:12:16It doesn't matter.
01:12:19I'll be here waiting for you anytime.
01:12:22Just call on me, my queen.
01:12:24I love you.
01:12:44Belle, Oliver's going alive. Do you think it has anything to do with Eric?
01:12:48Dave, I'm busy right now.
01:12:50Has Oliver contacted you? Do you know if he's going to keep slandering you?
01:12:54I don't care. Just let him talk.
01:13:02Am I hallucinating, or did I hear Bella's voice coming from your phone?
01:13:07I'm hallucinating too. I heard Eric's from yours.
01:13:12Oh.
01:13:14I want to apologize to Eugene Holmes.
01:13:16I shouldn't have doubted his achievements based on unreliable evidence.
01:13:20Turns out, with all the newest updates...
01:13:28This is a wound for me.
01:13:31It's my honor.
01:13:33Thank you for recognizing me.
01:13:38Thanks.
01:13:46Hi.
01:13:56Hi.
01:14:05You had so many chances to tell me.
01:14:08Why didn't you?
01:14:11Why didn't you tell me that you got into Oxford, and that you refused because of me?
01:14:15Because I didn't want to leave you.
01:14:17Okay, this is why I didn't say anything.
01:14:20I had lost everything, and if I stayed with you, I would have just brought you down with me.
01:14:26Bella, everything I have is because of you.
01:14:33I think this is God's way of just testing our love.
01:14:37You know, making us better people against all odds, right?
01:14:46I just have one more question to ask you.
01:14:50Is Troy my son?
01:14:51The answer's obvious, Daddy.
01:14:53Troy, hey buddy.
01:14:56How did you get in here?
01:14:58Uncle Lucas and David gave me the key.
01:15:00Lucas and David? Are you kidding?
01:15:03Eric, I knew you were my dad the moment I first saw you.
01:15:07And how did you know that, my little tyke?
01:15:09Because I'm super smart, just like my mom and dad.
01:15:16Mommy, I've been a fatherless kid for seven years.
01:15:19How are you going to make it up to me?
01:15:21Hey, don't blame your mom. It's all my fault.
01:15:24Daddy, you left me for seven years without a word.
01:15:27How are you going to make it up to me?
01:15:31What do you want, sweetheart?
01:15:46What the hell? David, you are so dead.
01:15:50Oh, that's awesome.
01:15:52All right, I mean, can we call it even?
01:15:55You know, all in peace.
01:15:58Wait!
01:16:10You shouldn't be here, bitch.
01:16:12I'm waiting for the news. Can you be patient?
01:16:15Security!
01:16:16Hey, hey, that's enough!
01:16:18Beat, Levy, you're not in the position to do so.
01:16:22Are you crazy? I'm the station director's daughter.
01:16:25Not anymore. I just bought short TV.
01:16:29And I'm gifting it to Bella.
01:16:34Dad! Kick them out!
01:16:37Mia, it's over.
01:16:41Let's go. Come on.
01:16:46Okay, I want to change the name to Short Max TV
01:16:52because we are going to crush our jobs to the max.
01:16:56Sure.
01:17:05Yes?
01:17:08Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it.
01:17:15BNN just called and they asked me to be their host.
01:17:18Congratulations. Looks like your dreams are finally coming true.
01:17:33Congratulations, Mr. Holmes.
01:17:34You are the first entrepreneur to rank number one on Forbes' 30 under 30 list
01:17:39without the help of an inheritance.
01:17:41How are you so good at what you do?
01:17:44I have my lucky star. My wife.
01:17:50No, I don't have one yet, but I will.
01:18:06Bella Emerson, will you marry me?
01:18:09Will you marry me?
01:18:10Yes. Yes, I will.
01:18:27This newly engaged couple's wedding is only one month away.
01:18:31I'm Troy Holmes Emerson and this is The Bella Emerson Show.
01:18:40The Bella Emerson Show
01:18:45Jude, are you okay?
01:18:47Um, Eric, I'm, uh, I'm pregnant.
01:18:54We're going to be a team of four!
