00:00:00Emily! My lovely granddaughter! Oh, grown up! How was your trip?
00:00:22It was really nice. Why is everyone so formal?
00:00:25Smith family reps are in the house and we're planning your wedding.
00:00:29What? My wedding? I'm way too young for this.
00:00:32Ted, close that door!
00:00:34You can't do this to me!
00:00:40Grandma!
00:00:48Our company was gutted by an insider. Why didn't you tell me something so important?
00:00:53I just wanted you to marry into the Smith family and have a carefree life.
00:00:58But I can't let this thief run free. I heard from the housekeeper that they're going to the Smiths.
00:01:05Don't bother yourself, honey.
00:01:08No one messes with the Williams and gets away with it. I'll join the Smiths' company and catch them all myself.
00:01:28Mr. Smith, Mr. Williams just called. His granddaughter, your fiancée, is coming to work at Dazzling today.
00:01:44What? What? I called off the engagement and they're still sending her?
00:01:50If they think this is going to change anything, they're dead wrong.
00:01:53Look, we could just deny her application if you wanted to.
00:01:57No. Just treat her well. I want to maintain any relationships we have with the Williams family.
00:02:03Understood. I'll call the creative hat, Bella.
00:02:06Yeah.
00:02:07Sorry, you're going to wear the baseball clothes again?
00:02:11Of course.
00:02:19What? The CEO's fiancée is going to be our new intern?
00:02:24Don't worry. I'll take good care of her.
00:02:27Sure. I'll keep it a secret.
00:02:34Everyone, I shouldn't be saying this, but the Williams heiress, who's also our CEO's fiancée, is going to be working with us.
00:02:45Let's give Miss Williams the ultimate princess treatment.
00:02:54It's Miss Williams!
00:02:56No, I'm not. What is going on? I just told Gramps to keep my identity a secret.
00:03:02Are you the new intern? We're so pleased to meet you.
00:03:06Yes, I'm the new intern for the creatives team.
00:03:09So they're not talking about me?
00:03:13Are you the new intern? We're so pleased to meet you.
00:03:17So they're not talking about me? That's good.
00:03:21Yes, I'm the new intern for the creatives team.
00:03:24Come with us. We're the creatives team. We'll show you the office.
00:03:28Norm? Is that you?
00:03:31You've changed so much.
00:03:33I'm so happy to see you.
00:03:35I'm so happy to see you too.
00:03:37Who is the office?
00:03:39Norm? Is that you?
00:03:41You've changed so much since high school.
00:03:43Emily Williams? She's been stealing my spotlight at every opportunity since high school.
00:03:49And you haven't changed at all. Still as nosy and pitiful as I remember.
00:03:53Well, you look ten years older. What happened?
00:03:56How dare you?
00:03:58Hi, I'm Emily. I'm an intern for the creatives team. Can I join you?
00:04:04You can read. The directory's over there.
00:04:08Let's go, Ms. Williams.
00:04:18So which one is the Williams heiress?
00:04:20Well, her name's Norm Williams. It's gotta be her.
00:04:25There's something regal about her, right?
00:04:31Ms. Williams?
00:04:33We got you a welcome gift.
00:04:35Oh, this is for me? You guys are so sweet.
00:04:38Of course. Anything for the CEO's fiancee and the Williams heiress.
00:04:43You think she's the Williams heiress?
00:04:47Anyone could claim that. I could claim that.
00:04:50You think she's the Williams heiress?
00:04:52Anyone could claim that. I could be the CEO's fiancee, too.
00:04:56You think anyone would mistake a high school dropout for the CEO's fiancee?
00:05:00A high school dropout? I wonder what strings you pulled to get a job here.
00:05:05I graduated early, not dropped out.
00:05:08But she looks like a good fit to scare the mole out on my behalf.
00:05:12Yeah, you're right. Who am I compared to the true heiress? I'm no one.
00:05:19Oh, that makes sense. They think I'm the Williams heiress.
00:05:23It's payback time, Emily. You can never steal my spotlight now.
00:05:27I like to keep it low-key.
00:05:30Yeah, Ms. Williams here likes to keep things under wraps.
00:05:40Where do you think you're going? Where do you think you're going?
00:05:48I need a hundred copies of those.
00:05:51I'm a creative intern, too. I have my own tasks. You can do your own.
00:05:55How dare you talk back to Ms. Williams? Know your place, newbie.
00:05:59And as a newbie, you are to obey whatever Ms. Williams tells you.
00:06:04No questions asked. Are we clear?
00:06:07Sure, if you say so.
00:06:19Are you kidding me? Don't break down on me now. I'm not even halfway done yet.
00:06:36Hi, this is for the creative floor. I was just hoping to get a tech guy for the printer.
00:06:41Yeah, it's urgent. Thanks.
00:06:49Need some help?
00:06:52What happened? You're here so fast.
00:06:55Wait, you were expecting me?
00:06:58Yeah, you're here for the printer, right?
00:07:01She thinks I'm the tech guy? Let me take a look.
00:07:19Oh, there's the black right here. I didn't know there was.
00:07:23I wouldn't have guessed that.
00:07:32Well, looks like it's working.
00:07:35Thanks.
00:07:38You're always being nice.
00:07:41I'm all over your face.
00:07:45Emily, you bitch!
00:07:48Emily, you bitch! The company pays you to work and you're here flirting with filthy repairmen?
00:07:53She's only here to seduce men. Even the repairman doesn't get past her.
00:07:57I'm so sorry you had to see this, Ms. Williams.
00:08:00Ms. Williams?
00:08:03Oh, is this arrogant brat my fiancé?
00:08:06Guess I made the right choice in calling off the engagement.
00:08:09Excuse me. I will not tolerate harassment at my company.
00:08:14No one asked for your opinion, repairman. You're not a part of this company.
00:08:19I'm not? Of course I am. I own it.
00:08:23Dream on. The owner of this company is my fiancé, Theodore Smith, and you're obviously not him.
00:08:31Security, get these two out of here.
00:08:34That's them. Throw out that fake boss and that slut.
00:08:45You dare call the CEO a fake? Well, I'm going to throw you out instead.
00:08:53CEO? Mr. Smith?
00:08:56Ella, we do offer health insurance. You know, you're taking an eye exam, please.
00:09:01Theodore, my fiancé, I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood what Bella said earlier.
00:09:07Mr. Smith, I'm so sorry. I didn't recognize you. I promise it won't happen again.
00:09:12You know, I promised your grandfather that we'd take care of you, so I'll forgive this once.
00:09:20But as for you, apologize to your co-worker.
00:09:25I'm sorry I'm late.
00:09:31Dazzling is a safe place. Don't let this happen again.
00:09:43Don't get too smug.
00:09:45Nora, if Theodore is your fiancé, why didn't you recognize him earlier?
00:10:02I just returned from overseas, remember? And besides, we haven't seen each other since we were kids.
00:10:13That's sweet. I heard that Mr. Smith is looking for a new gallery for an upcoming project.
00:10:19I remembered that you have a huge gallery. Surely we can use it.
00:10:23A gallery?
00:10:25Oh, right, the Williams Art Gallery. It's one of the city's top galleries.
00:10:29I heard they have over a hundred artists, and they've sold over a billion dollars worth of artwork.
00:10:38Of course. I own the biggest gallery in New York. I'm sure it's up to company standards.
00:10:45It's going to be so fun.
00:10:47Perfect. It's clearly my family's gallery. You seem to enjoy impersonating me. Let's see what you can do.
00:10:55Then, Miss Williams, will you be so kind and give us a tour of your gallery?
00:11:02This foolish woman finally comes up with a half-ladies idea.
00:11:06That would be fun. I've never been to a billionaire's gallery before. Let's go tomorrow?
00:11:11How can I afford to take them into a high-end gallery?
00:11:16Um, I have an idea.
00:11:25Nora Darman, how are you, my love?
00:11:39I have no time for chit-chat, okay?
00:11:41I need you to leave the door to the Williams Gallery unlocked so that me and my colleagues can come by tomorrow.
00:11:47Do it if you really love me.
00:11:49Are you crazy? I could get fired, Nora!
00:11:56Here we are. Welcome to my gallery.
00:11:59I can't wait to see what's inside!
00:12:01Shall we?
00:12:02Why are we entering through the back door? Wouldn't the owner want to show off the grand entrance?
00:12:07This is my favorite entrance, Kay.
00:12:09Miss Williams is not that vain. She just uses this entrance like the rest of her staff.
00:12:14I'm familiar with that lock. It updates its password every three days and voice recognition works too.
00:12:29Only Miss Williams' voice can unlock it.
00:12:32That's just a simple lock. Miss Williams would know that already.
00:12:37It's not your place to speak up.
00:12:39Miss Williams, please show us how you unlock the door with your heavenly voice.
00:12:44I can do it.
00:13:03Miss Williams, is this the person responsible for your gallery?
00:13:06She's Miss Williams? It's been a while, Miss Williams!
00:13:10Miss Williams? It's been a while, Miss Williams?
00:13:13Are these your prints?
00:13:15Hey, welcome! Come on in!
00:13:18Come on in!
00:13:25The gallery is down the hallway!
00:13:32Wow, your gallery is so much bigger in person.
00:13:36Of course! My grandpa always wants what's best for me.
00:13:41What's so funny, Emily?
00:13:43She's just too happy because it's her first time being surrounded by luxury.
00:13:48Do you have any idea how much Miss Williams' collections are worth?
00:13:52These are worth millions of dollars.
00:13:54I've been collecting them my whole life.
00:13:56Oh, look at this one. It's the famous sunset at Giverny Gardens.
00:14:02Let's know what that is.
00:14:04Wait until you see it up close and personal.
00:14:10Miss Williams!
00:14:21Miss Williams, what is that?
00:14:22I don't know.
00:14:23It's the gallery security alarm.
00:14:25Why would the alarm go off?
00:14:26Because Miss Williams touched the painting.
00:14:28Are you pathetic, loser? Are you really blaming me?
00:14:30Oh no, I'm just stating a fact. The police are probably on their way now.
00:14:34The police?
00:14:35Yeah, the police should be here any time unless we turn off the alarm.
00:14:40The police can't come. I will be exposed.
00:14:46This is all your fault, you dark little rat.
00:14:49Miss Williams, don't waste your energy on that jealous beggar.
00:14:57It stopped.
00:14:58What the hell's going on? Emily, you must have touched something.
00:15:01Oh, I saw Beggar Girl. She touched something over there.
00:15:04I didn't do anything. It wasn't me.
00:15:06What do you mean?
00:15:09She turned off her own alarm system.
00:15:10I haven't been here in a while, okay?
00:15:21I'm not afraid of that clumsy beggar with his...
00:15:25I promise, I will do everything in my power to get that bitch fired.
00:15:30Hi! Ready for some refreshments?
00:15:33What the heck? My gallery is a no eating zone.
00:15:37Who's up for some refreshments?
00:15:39Wow, you even got your attendant to prepare a snack?
00:15:42Of course. Your eyes feasted on my art, now your stomachs will feast too.
00:15:45Great.
00:15:46I'm starving.
00:15:47Come on girls, dig in.
00:15:48Wow, everything looks delish.
00:15:50Yep, I ordered the waiter to select the best snacks for you.
00:15:54Don't most art galleries have a no food policy? Especially fancy ones like this?
00:15:58My gallery, my rules.
00:16:00Shut your trump. Miss Williams was kind enough to invite you here.
00:16:03Shut your trump. Miss Williams was kind enough to invite you here and this is how you repay her?
00:16:08Are you blind? Everything that happened here shows that she's not Miss Williams.
00:16:17How dare you?
00:16:18Are you really looking for trouble?
00:16:21Miss Williams!
00:16:26Miss Williams!
00:16:27What have you done? You spilled juice all over the floor. Go get a mop and clean it this instant.
00:16:34I'm so sorry, Miss Williams.
00:16:36Why is she looking at Emily?
00:16:38Hey, I'm talking to you. Eyes over here.
00:16:41It's Miss Williams to you.
00:16:48Miss Williams, why don't you call the person in charge of your gallery?
00:16:51I don't take orders from you, gutter clown.
00:16:53Isn't that why we're here? To steal the deal?
00:16:56Yeah, Miss Williams, Mr. Smith did say to get the gallery's contact information.
00:17:00I'm the owner. I'm the contact person.
00:17:04Yeah, but Mr. Smith is going to want to see the paperwork. He won't accept word of mouth.
00:17:08So what's the name of the person in charge, Miss Williams?
00:17:17It's Max Collins.
00:17:18Of course I know Max Collins. I put him in charge of my gallery.
00:17:22Can you call him so we can get the paperwork done?
00:17:31Attendant, come here.
00:17:34You have to call her.
00:17:35No, I can't.
00:17:41Attendant.
00:17:44You don't even know her name?
00:17:46I don't bother. She's just a servant.
00:17:48Go get Max Collins for me.
00:17:50I don't know where he is.
00:17:52You good-for-nothing servant, call him then.
00:17:54I don't have his number.
00:17:56Why don't you call him?
00:17:58I don't have his number.
00:18:00Why don't you call him yourself, Miss Williams?
00:18:02You must have him in your contacts.
00:18:04I just got a new phone, and my contacts haven't transferred over yet.
00:18:08I'll call him for you.
00:18:15Hi, Max. Could you come by the gallery?
00:18:18Oh, you're upstairs? Could you come down, please? Thank you.
00:18:23But you really think that we'd believe that stupid little phone call trick?
00:18:28We're not idiots, you know.
00:18:30Yeah, I bet she called the pizzeria.
00:18:32She's lost her mind.
00:18:36It's good to see you here, Miss Williams.
00:18:43It's good to see you here, Miss Williams.
00:18:47Nice to see you too, Max.
00:18:50That's not Max Collins.
00:18:53Emily, you hired an actor to pretend to be Max Collins?
00:18:58How pathetic.
00:19:00Excuse me.
00:19:02So, did Emily pay you in cash?
00:19:04We're in bed.
00:19:20I don't know how you all got in here, but I'm calling the police.
00:19:27It's Max Collins. It's listed on the website.
00:19:30If the police come, Nora's true identity will be revealed. But so will mine.
00:19:34Max, can you pretend that this is Miss Williams?
00:19:37Why? What's history, Miss Williams?
00:19:39I don't have time to explain. Just do as I say.
00:19:44Miss Williams.
00:19:46Sorry I didn't recognize you right away. You've been away for far too long.
00:19:49It's fine. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you either.
00:19:52So, does that mean that the deal with the gallery is sealed?
00:19:56Actually, although the gallery is a gift to Miss Williams, it is still the property of the Williams Corporation.
00:20:02What the heck does that mean?
00:20:04It means that you can't seal the deal just because you're the owner.
00:20:07She's right.
00:20:09The board of directors has to vote on it. At that point, Mr. Smith will appoint a liaison and that person will sign a contract with the gallery.
00:20:16Whatever. I know my fiancé will choose me.
00:20:19Let's go, girls.
00:20:25Miss Williams, I'm so sorry about my daughter's behavior. I don't know what's gotten into her.
00:20:30Nora Williams is your daughter?
00:20:32Yes, and I know she can be stubborn sometimes.
00:20:35Stubborn? That daughter of yours is a crazy bitch.
00:20:38I'm so sorry, sir. Please forgive me.
00:20:40You let strangers inside the gallery without permission. You should be fired.
00:20:44No, Miss Williams, please don't fire me. I can't afford to get fired. My family depends on it.
00:20:50All right. You won't be fired as long as you promise me one thing.
00:20:54I'll do anything.
00:20:56Don't tell Nora or any of my colleagues who I really am. Understood?
00:21:00Of course. Whatever you say.
00:21:08Nora? Darling?
00:21:10Mom, what are you doing here?
00:21:12Darling, you have to stop what you're doing.
00:21:14Stop doing what exactly, Mom?
00:21:16Stop pretending to be the millionaires. You could go to jail if they find out.
00:21:20That's why you're here, right? So that you can stop it from getting caught?
00:21:25Sweetheart, I love you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
00:21:29I don't need your stupid advice, Mom. It's my life. And if you really loved me, you would have given me a better life.
00:21:37I gave you the best life that I could give to you.
00:21:40You didn't give me the best life. You didn't even give me an average life.
00:21:44You gave me a shitty life, and I hate you.
00:22:07Listen up, interns.
00:22:21Emily, Miss Williams.
00:22:25I'm going to need each of you to prepare a presentation on galleries for tomorrow.
00:22:30It's an individual assignment, and I need you guys to cover everything that's in these folders for tomorrow's presentation.
00:22:36Wow, this is a lot. It's due tomorrow?
00:22:39Yes. After tomorrow, Mr. Smith will go through the presentations and choose a better option for the client.
00:22:45Don't worry, Miss Williams. I'll help you out.
00:22:47Me too. I can do all the templates for you.
00:22:49But that's not fair. Bella just said it was an individual assignment.
00:22:52Were you born yesterday? Nothing's fair in this world.
00:22:57All done.
00:22:59Wow, good job, girls.
00:23:02You know, you're not going to get that done by tonight, so you may as well start writing your resignation letter now.
00:23:07Let's see who has the last laugh.
00:23:10You know, you're not going to get that done by tonight, so you may as well start writing your resignation letter now.
00:23:15Let's see who has the last laugh.
00:23:19Who's that?
00:23:41Come on.
00:23:43Oh, hi, Mr. Smith.
00:23:45Emily.
00:23:47Oh, hi, Mr. Smith.
00:23:49What are you doing in my office?
00:23:51Um, I was just in the washroom.
00:23:53I saw that your computer was open, so I came here to turn it off. I didn't know you were still here.
00:23:58I saw the culprit. She's stealing something here.
00:24:00But I can't tell anyone just yet. She might slip and disappear again.
00:24:04I was just working late and went down to get myself a cup of water.
00:24:09Well, I suggest you always turn off your computer and never leave it unattended.
00:24:13Yes, ma'am.
00:24:17Why are you here so late?
00:24:19Oh, um, I was just working on a project.
00:24:23I better get back to it.
00:24:33It's actually pretty good.
00:24:44You're going to need some coffee.
00:24:57Is that food?
00:25:03He did all this?
00:25:05I guess he's not as arrogant and rude as I thought.
00:25:14Ten more minutes.
00:25:36Look alive, Emily. Meeting in two minutes.
00:25:41Are you seriously wearing the same clothes as yesterday?
00:25:45You look like a panda with those dark circles. Ever heard of sleep?
00:25:51What? It's gone.
00:25:55What do you mean, it's gone?
00:25:57My presentation. I saved it last night. It's not there.
00:26:01You really think we'd fall for that?
00:26:03Fall for what?
00:26:05Fall for what?
00:26:07Come on, Emily. You really think we'd believe that you finished that entire presentation in just one night?
00:26:12Yeah, you're just pretending it's lost when in reality you never finished it at all.
00:26:17So I win?
00:26:19Since Emily here never completed the assignment and Ms. Williams did, who votes that Ms. Williams should take on the project?
00:26:30I guess we have a winner.
00:26:34That's not fair. What's not fair is you showing up to work unprepared. The decision is final.
00:26:40So, you're making decisions without me now?
00:26:44Mr. Smith, well, Emily here came in without a presentation, so technically wouldn't that mean that Nora's the winner?
00:26:53She doesn't have a presentation.
00:26:56It's gone.
00:26:59Well, the decision's not final until we see Nora's presentation anyways.
00:27:05I'll be glad to present it for you, Mr. Smith.
00:27:17Nora? Okay.
00:27:29God.
00:27:34Excuse me, I need to take this. Nora, please be ready to show your presentation when I return.
00:27:39I'll be ready, Mr. Smith.
00:27:42That's my presentation.
00:27:44That's my presentation.
00:27:46Excuse me?
00:27:48Ms. Williams' presentation is on the Williams Gallery. It's her gallery, not yours.
00:27:53Idiot.
00:27:55That's my personal photo. There's a watermark on it. It's my initials on it.
00:27:59It's not yours.
00:28:01It's not yours.
00:28:03It's not yours.
00:28:05It's not yours.
00:28:07That's my personal photo. There's a watermark on it. It's my initials, EW.
00:28:13Don't kid yourself. It doesn't matter whose presentation it is. Ms. Williams is in charge of this project.
00:28:20Exactly. And even if you win, I can discontinue this project just like that.
00:28:25Don't sweat it. You'll never win against Ms. Williams.
00:28:29Fine. Let Nora present her work. I'm sure Mr. Smith will love it.
00:28:38All right, Nora. Let's see your presentation.
00:28:43Good morning, everyone. This is my presentation. It's on the Williams Gallery, my gallery.
00:28:49This is your presentation?
00:28:51Yes. I worked on it all day yesterday.
00:28:53If that's the case, then what's on the third slide?
00:28:56The third slide? Let me just have a look.
00:28:59No need to show me. If you really did make this presentation, then you can just tell me from memory.
00:29:05I kind of forget.
00:29:07That's fine. Then what's on the thirteenth slide?
00:29:11I forget that, too. If you just let me present, I can just go through all of it.
00:29:15The third slide describes a gallery case study.
00:29:20Wow. Mr. Smith knows her entire presentation off by heart.
00:29:25I know. They're so cute.
00:29:27She must have shown them the presentation yesterday.
00:29:29Quiet, both of you. I'm in front of Mr. Smith.
00:29:32Enough of this. You stole it.
00:29:37There is no thirteenth slide. This is someone else's work.
00:29:42This is my presentation, Theo.
00:29:45This is Emily's presentation. All right?
00:29:48She stayed here all night making this.
00:29:51And do you know how I know that?
00:29:53I was here in the office last night.
00:29:56She must have copied it off my computer somehow.
00:30:02Jack, could you give me last night's CCTV footage, please?
00:30:06Copy that, sir.
00:30:08Mr. Smith, it could be a coincidence that they have the same presentation.
00:30:13Yes. We were both presenting on my gallery, and we received the same information.
00:30:18She has a point. She owns the gallery. Who better for the job?
00:30:23Jack, what have you found?
00:30:26It was Nora.
00:30:29She came into the office last night and copied something from Emily's laptop.
00:30:33Listen closely. All right? Theft is unacceptable in my office.
00:30:37This will be punished. This will be punished.
00:30:41You can't do this to me. I'm William Zerus, and I'm your fiancé.
00:30:46She was under a lot of pressure, Mr. Smith. It was an honest mistake.
00:30:50Bella, she's clearly in the wrong, and you're still defending her.
00:30:53Mr. Smith, what I meant to say is...
00:30:56Forgive and forget, Mr. Smith.
00:31:02Emily, you're defending the thief who stole your work.
00:31:06It's easier if Nora sticks around.
00:31:09No one will suspect that I'm the real Williams Zerus.
00:31:12As much as I don't want to admit it, Ms. Williams is right.
00:31:15If we want to use her gallery, we need her.
00:31:19I suppose you're right.
00:31:21This is your last warning. If this happens again...
00:31:31Actually, I need to...
00:31:36With me? Did he find something?
00:31:44You're going to pay for this.
00:31:52I'm so sorry that happened to you.
00:31:55I'll make sure that she personally apologizes to you, and that nothing like that happens again.
00:32:00Thanks. I appreciate it, Mr. Smith.
00:32:04Now, what are we going to do about our punishment?
00:32:08I've got the perfect punishment in mind.
00:32:11Great.
00:32:22Why are we being punished, too?
00:32:25We didn't steal Emily's work!
00:32:27Because we're Team Ms. Williams, you sloth!
00:32:30Get back to work!
00:32:38After you finish the floor and the windows, make sure that everything else is spotless.
00:32:42We need this gallery perfect for this project.
00:32:45I don't need to do any of this, okay? I'm an Eris.
00:32:48Let her polish the freaking floors. Come on, girls, let's go.
00:32:52Thank goodness. My back hurts.
00:32:55Not so fast. You haven't finished the windows.
00:32:57You can't boss me around. I don't work here. I'm not your freaking maid.
00:33:01Nora, this is your punishment, remember? For stealing my presentation.
00:33:06Aw, now you look like a mom.
00:33:09You're so in character.
00:33:11Better start scrubbing. These floors won't clean themselves.
00:33:14Let's go, girls.
00:33:36What? Emily?
00:33:40What happened?
00:33:42Who did this to you?
00:33:45Nora. She didn't want to do her punishment.
00:33:50Please excuse me while I go to the washroom and clean up.
00:34:06Grandfather.
00:34:09I decided to call off the engagement with the Williams girl.
00:34:12I decided to call off the engagement with the Williams girl.
00:34:15Have you forgotten that your marriage benefits both families?
00:34:18Our family's future is in your hands.
00:34:21But Grandfather, she'll only bring us trouble.
00:34:23You two just need to sit down and talk.
00:34:25I've arranged a dinner for you two at Lion's tonight.
00:34:29Fine.
00:34:33Jack, get the car.
00:34:36Are you canceling the engagement?
00:34:38Yes, and that's why I need to go in person.
00:34:41Nora's a rat.
00:34:44But you know Emily, she's smart and hard-working and kind.
00:34:53Boss, you were talking about Emily a lot recently.
00:34:57Are you interested in her?
00:34:59Get the car ready.
00:35:11Emily dear, how about dinner with your gramps at Lion restaurant tonight?
00:35:15Wear something nice.
00:35:19Ted, I want you to drive Emily to Lion restaurant tonight.
00:35:25Don't tell her I'm not coming.
00:35:27Will do, sir.
00:35:33I just want you two to spend time together.
00:35:49To Lion's, please.
00:35:59Is that Emily?
00:36:02What is she doing here?
00:36:12Where the heck are you, Grant?
00:36:14You're never late.
00:36:18What?
00:36:24Theodore Smith? I knew it!
00:36:27Gramps set up this trap.
00:36:49Hey, Ted, can you pick me up at Lion's now, please? It's urgent.
00:36:57Come on, Ted, before Theodore finds me.
00:37:05Hey, gorgeous.
00:37:07You look like my next girlfriend.
00:37:09That's great, I've been there long enough.
00:37:11A little bit spicy, yes?
00:37:14This is the way I like it.
00:37:16Don't touch me!
00:37:17What? What are you going to do about it?
00:37:23You're a piece of this, too.
00:37:25You're a piece of this, too.
00:37:27You can't be serious, man.
00:37:29Boys!
00:37:31Get him!
00:37:48Why does my heart feel like it's going to explode?
00:38:11I think... I think we've lost them.
00:38:14Oh, right.
00:38:16Are you hurt?
00:38:19No, I'm okay. Thanks, Mr. Smith.
00:38:23No, you don't have to call me Mr. Smith.
00:38:27Call me Theo.
00:38:35What are you doing out here? I saw you at Lion's.
00:38:38Oh, I was having dinner with my family.
00:38:40I just stepped out to make a call.
00:38:43Well, let me at least take you home.
00:38:46Oh, no, it's okay. I have a...
00:38:49Madam, I was going to look for her for a second.
00:38:52That's a really nice car for an intern.
00:38:54Grandpa!
00:38:56So, how was your date?
00:39:00I can't believe you tricked me.
00:39:02I know. I'm sorry. I admit it.
00:39:05So, how are things going with Theodore?
00:39:08You know what? Actually, better than I thought.
00:39:11But I've learned so much about myself
00:39:14and my worth going through this internship.
00:39:24It's from the Smiths.
00:39:26They say that Theodore is dead set on canceling this engagement.
00:39:30He is?
00:39:32I thought things were going well between the two of you.
00:39:35Is there something you're not telling me?
00:39:37No.
00:39:38Should I call back?
00:39:39It's okay, Gramps. You don't have to.
00:39:42I'm sorry. We'll find you someone nicer.
00:39:46I know it's because of Nora.
00:39:48But it still hurts.
00:39:50What if I tell him the truth?
00:39:54Hey, Emily.
00:39:56Are you going to our high school reunion tonight?
00:39:58Right. What time is it up?
00:40:06Angelica Harwell is organizing our reunion?
00:40:08Yeah. I'm definitely going.
00:40:10Oh my gosh. She's actually going to make a fool of herself.
00:40:13Let her be.
00:40:14I can't wait to see what kind of hideous outfit she shows up in.
00:40:18Good morning, everyone.
00:40:22I'd like to announce that I have chosen Emily as our new project liaison.
00:40:29She's proven herself to be hardworking and reliable.
00:40:32And she signed a contract with Williams Gallery.
00:40:37Congratulations, Emily.
00:40:39Thanks, Mr. Smith.
00:40:41Of course.
00:40:46So, any potential prospects?
00:40:49Yeah. I was actually hoping to speak to Angelica Harwell.
00:40:52She's hosting our high school reunion tonight.
00:40:55Wow. Angelica Harwell.
00:40:58The world-renowned art collector.
00:41:00Yeah. Some of her collections are the best in the world.
00:41:03If we can get her to lend us some of her pieces, we'll instantly go viral.
00:41:07That is amazing.
00:41:09Honestly, I've always wanted to meet her.
00:41:13Any chance you have a plus one tonight?
00:41:15I do. I'll put your name down in case you want to pass by.
00:41:19Perfect.
00:41:25You sneaky witch.
00:41:27You didn't tell me you knew Angelica Harwell.
00:41:29What, are you trying to steal all of the credits?
00:41:31Her name is written in bold on the invitation.
00:41:33Did you not notice it?
00:41:35Unless you don't know who Angelica is.
00:41:37Of course I know Angelica. We've been best friends since kindergarten.
00:41:40Oh, yeah?
00:41:41What does she look like?
00:41:43She has long blonde hair.
00:41:46Well, we must know different Angelicas because the one I know has short brown hair and transferred in freshman year.
00:41:51Whatever. I'm going to the gala, and I'm going to look fabulous.
00:41:55Okay. See you later.
00:41:56Emily, I know you're not used to getting invited to these themed parties,
00:42:00but Angelica is very particular about her party concepts.
00:42:03So, make sure you don't half-ass the 80s theme.
00:42:06Okay, got it.
00:42:19Sorry miss, this is a black tie event.
00:42:22I think you might be at the wrong party.
00:42:25Wrong party?
00:42:26What do you mean? I have an invitation.
00:42:29Correct invitation, but incorrect attire.
00:42:33I still can't let you in. I'm sorry.
00:42:35Why? What are you talking about?
00:42:37Listen, it's a black tie event.
00:42:39I'm not allowed to let in anyone who's not dressed for the party.
00:42:43That witch tripped me.
00:42:46Hi, Miss Hartwell. I'm Emily, project liaison for Dyslink.
00:42:50I just wanted to extend my invitation for you to be a part of our exhibit.
00:42:53Be a part of your exhibit?
00:42:55But you can't even follow my simple dress code.
00:43:05I knew Emily was poor, but I didn't think she would show up to your party wearing that.
00:43:09How disrespectful.
00:43:10I am so sorry, Miss Hartwell. I didn't mean to offend you with my outfit.
00:43:13It was a mix-up. I'll change and be right back.
00:43:16Come on, Emily. You've been like this since high school.
00:43:18Shameless and incompetent.
00:43:20Please, forgive her on my behalf, Angelica.
00:43:23You know, I honestly think you'd make a way better liaison than her.
00:43:26You think so?
00:43:27I know so. Look at this extravagant gala that you've organized.
00:43:30Now, I know that you're capable of amazing things.
00:43:33Stop it.
00:43:34Go. Hurry up and get changed. You look ridiculous.
00:43:43Emily?
00:43:47Why aren't you at the party?
00:43:51What's wrong?
00:43:52This is what's wrong.
00:43:54What do you mean?
00:43:55Nora tricked me into wearing this.
00:43:57Nora?
00:43:58Yes.
00:43:59Nora.
00:44:00Yes.
00:44:01Nora tricked me into wearing this.
00:44:03Nora?
00:44:04Oh, she's unbelievable.
00:44:06I need a new outfit or else Angelica won't agree to work with me.
00:44:09I know a place. Hop in.
00:44:32Pick anything you'd like. It's on me.
00:44:40That's very kind of you, but I can pay for it myself.
00:44:44No, I insist.
00:44:47If you're going to be representing the company tonight, I want you to look dazzling.
00:45:17Valerie?
00:45:24Theo?
00:45:26Can I get your help, please?
00:45:32Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:45:34Could you put the clip, please?
00:45:38Yeah.
00:45:46I think you're good.
00:46:01How do I look?
00:46:11You look stunning.
00:46:15Emily, I've been trying to find a way to tell you I like you.
00:46:23And, um, I don't know.
00:46:29I was wondering if you'd go to dinner with me.
00:46:33Theo, it would be inappropriate.
00:46:38This is about Nora.
00:46:41No, that's an arranged thing that her grandparents put together.
00:46:45And honestly, she's a terror.
00:46:50But I canceled that.
00:46:54He canceled the engagement for me.
00:47:00Theo, I need to tell you something. I'm actually...
00:47:03Hi! Is the feeding okay?
00:47:06Oh, really good. I'll take it.
00:47:20Hi.
00:47:33You were going to say something earlier in the fitting room.
00:47:40You were going to say something earlier in the fitting room.
00:47:45Am I ready to tell him the truth?
00:47:48Um, I actually don't remember. This has been nothing.
00:47:53Well, I really hope that this doesn't make anything awkward between us.
00:47:58I really do think you're perfect for this project.
00:48:01Thank you, Theo. This won't change anything between us.
00:48:07Did you guys see Emily earlier?
00:48:09She's the same old Emily.
00:48:11Oh, I remember her. That girl that was always wearing hand-me-downs.
00:48:15It's like she got dressed in the dark.
00:48:17Right, I do think I remember her.
00:48:19She always thought she was better than everyone else, but couldn't be bothered to put on simple concealer.
00:48:24What does she think she is?
00:48:26Do you guys know why she dropped out of high school?
00:48:30She slept with a married man, and his wife found out.
00:48:38Oh, my gosh. So embarrassing.
00:48:41She climbed the corporate ladder by sleeping her way to the top?
00:48:44Wait, so Emily's your boss?
00:48:47That wannabe is nobody's boss.
00:48:50Nora's the ultimate boss. She's the Williams heiress.
00:48:54Nora, you're the Williams heiress?
00:48:57I didn't know I was classmates with royalty.
00:49:00Is that Emily? She looks gorgeous.
00:49:04Yeah, that dress looks expensive.
00:49:08And is that striking guy her boyfriend?
00:49:11Boyfriend? No, that's Theodore Smith, Dazzling CEO, former baseball star, and my fiancé.
00:49:18Why is he with her and not with you?
00:49:20Because that bitch has been seducing my fiancé since day one.
00:49:24The nerve of that whore to show up to my party with someone else's man.
00:49:38Look, Ms. Hartwell, I've changed.
00:49:40What are you doing here with my fiancé, huh?
00:49:42Did you seduce him into coming here with you tonight?
00:49:44What? No, I was just-
00:49:46Mr. Smith, this woman is a sneaky bitch.
00:49:49She has spent her whole life ruining other people's lives by being a professional side hoe.
00:49:54Don't let her tricks fool you, and don't risk what you have with Nora for something like this.
00:50:01Ms. Hartwell, your accusations against Emily are simply not true.
00:50:07Looks like this smug girl has you wrapped around her finger.
00:50:10Get your hands off of my fiancé, you beggar mistress.
00:50:13Shut up, Nora. We are no longer engaged.
00:50:17That's right. I cancelled the engagement.
00:50:21And frankly, you're not fit for Dazzling either.
00:50:25We're letting you go after this project.
00:50:29This is all your fault, you shameless whore!
00:50:32This has nothing to do with me, Nora. Blaming me won't change anything.
00:50:38Some people never really change, do they, Emily?
00:50:41Yeah, you may have changed your outfit, but you can't change the fact that the only thing you do is try and steal other people's men.
00:50:50What'd I miss?
00:50:52Hold on. I can steal anyone's fiancé.
00:50:55And second of all, this has nothing to do with his engagement.
00:50:59Exactly. I'm here to support her, that's it.
00:51:02We were actually hoping that Ms. Hartwell would lend her pieces to our upcoming exhibit.
00:51:06Mr. Smith is personally here to extend his invitation to you, Ms. Hartwell.
00:51:10I've already agreed to work with Ms. Williams on this exhibit, and I won't be working with anyone else.
00:51:15So, if she's on board, then I'm in.
00:51:18Angelica, your support means everything to me.
00:51:22You heard Angelica. She'll only come on board if you put me in charge of this project.
00:51:26And if I'm writing this, I can't work with her.
00:51:29So fire Emily.
00:51:33Fire Emily.
00:51:34Nora, you're insane!
00:51:36You need Angelica, don't you? She comes at a price.
00:51:38And that price is my job? There's gotta be another way, Nora.
00:51:41You don't make the demands here, I do. We need Angelica.
00:51:45Unless you can somehow convince, I don't know, a painter like Evelyn Rivers to exhibit with us.
00:51:50Which would never happen.
00:51:52So, you need me.
00:51:53Evelyn Rivers? You're talking about the impossible, Nora.
00:51:57Maybe.
00:52:00Museums don't even carry her art.
00:52:03And you will never get her.
00:52:05Which is why you need me.
00:52:07Well, this was a great idea, Emily, but I'm sure we can find other collectors who are a little less demanding.
00:52:15You want an Evelyn Rivers? I'll get you an Evelyn Rivers.
00:52:20Good luck finding Evelyn. She's a rare gem.
00:52:23More like a ghost. No one's seen her in three years.
00:52:33And then we won't need an Angelica anymore.
00:52:35Don't be so gawky, Emily.
00:52:37You may end up eating your words and begging Angelica to come back and collaborate with you.
00:52:41And by then, I'll be fully booked.
00:52:43I'm confident I can get her.
00:52:45And if you can't, there should be consequences to putting the company at risk.
00:52:49If I can't, which is very unlikely, I will step down and let Nora take over as liaison.
00:52:57Emily, there's no need to listen to Nora. And there's no need to step down.
00:53:02It's okay. I've got a plan.
00:53:05You've got a plan?
00:53:08Well, next time, I'm playing hard to get. So if you want me, you'll have to go through Nora.
00:53:14Fine. Are we good?
00:53:19We have a deal, then.
00:53:22Emily?
00:53:33I don't like this. She's too confident.
00:53:35Do you really think she can get in touch with Evelyn Rivers?
00:53:37Relax, Nora. She's bluffing.
00:53:39If the Williams and the Smiths couldn't reach Evelyn, how could a nobody like her?
00:53:48Evelyn! It's Emily.
00:53:50Emily, baby, you finally called.
00:53:53I told you to stop calling me baby.
00:54:05Hello?
00:54:06Evelyn! It's Emily.
00:54:08Emily, baby, you finally called.
00:54:11I told you to stop calling me baby.
00:54:14But you're my baby sister.
00:54:16I mean, maybe not so baby anymore since we first met in Italy.
00:54:20You're right. That was a long time ago.
00:54:22Really?
00:54:24Feels like just yesterday I met you on the train and I fell in love with your passion for art.
00:54:30Evelyn, I have a favor to ask you.
00:54:32Anything for my baby girl.
00:54:34Could I borrow one of your paintings for my company's exhibit?
00:54:37Of course.
00:54:38Of course.
00:54:39Yeah, any painting you want is yours, girl. Just pick one. You can do anything you like with it.
00:54:43Thanks, Evelyn. You're the best.
00:54:45Kisses.
00:54:46Bye.
00:54:56Oh no, Nora, what's wrong?
00:54:58I'm just not in the mood tonight, guys.
00:55:01I'm having major money problems right now.
00:55:04Money problems? But you're the Williams heiress. You have all the money in the world.
00:55:08Uh, yeah, no, um, Angelica's just pressuring me for this painting money.
00:55:13And my grandpa froze my cats after a fight, and I don't really know what to do.
00:55:18Oh no, that sounds like a rich girl problem, and as much as I hate to say it, we're not rich.
00:55:26So I can't help you with that one.
00:55:28But I'm going to be the office joke tomorrow if I don't bring a painting.
00:55:35This one's really cute.
00:55:42Why didn't I think of that?
00:55:50Having trouble finding an Evelyn Rivers?
00:55:52Are you here to beg me to get Angelica?
00:55:59This is an Evelyn Rivers original.
00:56:02Wow, I have never seen anything this beautiful in person before.
00:56:07It's breathtaking.
00:56:09Yeah, sunsets usually make me feel sad.
00:56:12But this one is so stunning, it actually makes me happy.
00:56:15You ignorant fools, it's a fake.
00:56:17It is? How do you know, Miss Williams?
00:56:20Because she's been around art her entire life.
00:56:22She owns a gallery. She would never be deceived by a knockoff.
00:56:26I bet Emily's spent all of her savings on this fake.
00:56:29You know, I can easily tell the difference between a $5 million painting and a $500 one.
00:56:34Come on, Nora, you might be an art lover, but you're not an expert.
00:56:38That's Evelyn's signature.
00:56:40Any art collector would know to check for that.
00:56:42It's common knowledge.
00:56:44That's common knowledge.
00:56:46It looks pretty real to me.
00:56:48You're no expert either, so we can't just believe you.
00:56:50Show us the authenticity certificate.
00:56:52It doesn't have one.
00:56:54I knew it.
00:56:56This is a new painting from Evelyn's private gallery.
00:56:58It's not for sale, that's why it doesn't have one yet.
00:57:00Oh, so anyone can just wheel in a painting and say that it's Evelyn's?
00:57:03How convenient.
00:57:05Then let's call an expert to appraise it.
00:57:07I can appraise it.
00:57:18Angelica, how kind of you to show up on such short notice.
00:57:21Anything for you, Miss Williams.
00:57:23Angelica doesn't even have an Evelyn Rivers painting in her collection.
00:57:26How can she appraise this?
00:57:28And who says I don't own one?
00:57:42This is a classic Evelyn Rivers painting called Ode to Sea.
00:57:47And this is the certificate of authenticity.
00:57:51Authenticity?
00:57:56And clearly, this is a fake.
00:57:58Emily's painting really is fake?
00:58:00Told you.
00:58:02So, how about I lend you my painting for three million and make Nora project liaison?
00:58:08Three million?
00:58:10That's way too high.
00:58:12That painting can only be sold at auction for eight million.
00:58:14That's an unfair price.
00:58:16And what do you know about exhibit fees?
00:58:18Well, my piece is free.
00:58:21Free? Are you kidding?
00:58:23You just proved your painting's a fake by not putting a price on it.
00:58:26And where'd you get this garbage anyways?
00:58:28It's a priceless gift from a friend.
00:58:33Are you saying you're friends with Evelyn Rivers?
00:58:35I am.
00:58:37You little liar.
00:58:39I'll prove it. I'll call her.
00:58:41I'll call her.
00:58:50She must be in Castle New for a painting.
00:58:52Enough with the excuses, Emily.
00:58:54We are not risking the company's reputation with your fake painting.
00:58:58Hold on. Who's saying this is a fake painting?
00:59:01None of you are experts.
00:59:03Fine. I have a friend at the Pratt Institute. I'll call him.
00:59:06And if this painting is proven fake, I'll resign.
00:59:10Deal.
00:59:20Well?
00:59:22Well, the physical aspects look authentic, but I'll need to run a final test on it.
00:59:28I'll call the lab and see if they're available, if you'll give me a moment.
00:59:36Shh.
00:59:39Miss Hartwell, that is an authentic Evelyn Rivers.
00:59:45How did she get her hands on a real Evelyn Rivers?
00:59:51Ross, how long till the painter can forge a copy of it?
00:59:56Give or take a couple of days.
00:59:58Good.
01:00:00I know what she has is a fake.
01:00:02And I will have a genuine Evelyn Rivers in my collection.
01:00:07Miss Emily, I need to do a further evaluation.
01:00:10I'll get back to you in a couple of days.
01:00:14Wait. No. No one is taking my painting.
01:00:17This is my friend's unpublished work.
01:00:19I can't trust anyone with it.
01:00:21What are you playing, hm?
01:00:23That we can try to swipe your precious painting?
01:00:25I have plenty of my own.
01:00:27I never said that.
01:00:29Let Ross do his job.
01:00:31No one is taking my painting.
01:00:33Just let Ross do his job so that we can prove how fake your painting really is.
01:00:37I said no!
01:00:39What is your problem?
01:00:40Ross, take the painting!
01:00:41What is going on here?
01:00:43We need to authenticate Emily's painting.
01:00:46And she won't let him do his job.
01:00:48No one is taking my painting anywhere.
01:00:51No worries.
01:00:52I have my own appraiser.
01:00:54I have my own appraiser.
01:00:56Somebody who I know is sound of judgment and unbiased.
01:01:00I guess you're right.
01:01:04Yeah.
01:01:05Sounds good, Mr. Smith.
01:01:07Give me a sec.
01:01:14Everyone, this is Ned.
01:01:16Long time friend, old teammate, and a Smith family appraiser for years.
01:01:21Thank you all for having me.
01:01:23So, where's the painting in question?
01:01:25Right here.
01:01:35I got it.
01:01:36I know Evelyn's works.
01:01:38The texture, the vibe, even the smell.
01:01:40Yeah, this is a classic Evelyn piece.
01:01:43So it's genuine?
01:01:46How much is it worth?
01:01:48Evelyn's unseen collection.
01:01:50This one could easily get you ten million dollars at auction.
01:01:55That's great.
01:01:56That means that we can showcase it at the exhibit for the first time.
01:01:59Sure, Ned.
01:02:01Ned, could you check Angelica's piece as well?
01:02:04We might want to showcase it too.
01:02:06Sure thing.
01:02:08Sure thing.
01:02:09There's no point.
01:02:10You've proven your point, okay?
01:02:12There's no need to check Angelica's painting.
01:02:14Yes, you've won.
01:02:17I'm leaving anyways.
01:02:19Ned, go ahead.
01:02:21Okay, excuse me.
01:02:26You should be ashamed.
01:02:29This fabrication doesn't belong anywhere near Emily's authentic work.
01:02:34Excuse me, what just happened?
01:02:36This painting's a fake.
01:02:38No, no it's not.
01:02:40Look, I have had it appraised by an expert.
01:02:42And I have a certificate.
01:02:45It's too smooth.
01:02:46It's perfect.
01:02:47Evelyn's work, it's not like this.
01:02:49I don't know what this is.
01:02:50Plus, look at the signature.
01:02:53Shield uses her initials, not her full name.
01:02:55Are you doubting my credentials as an art expert?
01:02:58No, Angelica, no one is doubting you.
01:03:00Theo, Ned might have slipped up.
01:03:02Make him take another look.
01:03:03Actually, Odyssey has been in the Williams family for ages.
01:03:07There's no way Angelica has another copy.
01:03:13She's lying.
01:03:15My painting is real.
01:03:16I have a certificate.
01:03:17Your certificate is fake too, obviously.
01:03:21How dare you bring a fake painting, Ms. Hartwell?
01:03:24Do you think we're idiots?
01:03:25How dare you accuse my painting of being fake?
01:03:28Ross, Ross can vouch for me.
01:03:30He's my appraiser.
01:03:31I have cued.
01:03:33This guy's a thief.
01:03:34He's a scam artist.
01:03:35This is a guy who's been issuing fake certificates,
01:03:38wheeling off precious works of art,
01:03:40and then replacing them with replicas.
01:03:42Security, take him away.
01:03:45You, you son of a bitch.
01:03:51A fake.
01:03:52We look like fools.
01:03:53I'm sorry.
01:03:54How was I supposed to know she'd have a real Evelyn Rivers?
01:03:57She showed it to school in pajamas.
01:03:59I know, I know.
01:04:00Who knows where she stole it from?
01:04:03You know, Ms. Williams, I have an idea.
01:04:06Do you care to jump on board?
01:04:11Well, this is it.
01:04:15Are you ready for the exhibit?
01:04:17I was born ready.
01:04:19I was born ready.
01:04:24You never cease to amaze me, Emily.
01:04:29I, I bought you a gift.
01:04:32What gift?
01:04:36To be honest, I wasn't sure you were going to be able to pull this off.
01:04:41And so I bought you an Evelyn Rivers.
01:04:44What?
01:04:46Well, that's so sweet.
01:04:48I mean, Evelyn's art is so expensive.
01:04:52I hadn't hidden my feelings for you up to this point.
01:04:57And, well, I'd do just about anything to show you how much I care.
01:05:04Can I take you out as a thank you?
01:05:07I mean, I'd love for you to meet Evelyn when she comes back.
01:05:14I look forward to it.
01:05:18I'd be happy to.
01:05:26You mean to say the fool who bought my painting for $10 million yesterday is the Smith heir?
01:05:33The painting is worth $10 million?
01:05:35It was listed at $3 million, but your prince jumped straight to $10 million.
01:05:39No one's going to help with that.
01:05:42Okay, first of all, he's not my prince.
01:05:44But it was really sweet for him to get out of his way to do that.
01:05:47Your hot boss is so into you.
01:05:50Do you like him?
01:05:53I guess so.
01:05:55Emily, when are you going to tell him who you really are?
01:05:58I don't know. I was thinking maybe after the exhibit, if everything goes well.
01:06:03Okay, I'll talk to you later.
01:06:17Oh my gosh!
01:06:43Oh my gosh!
01:06:44This is terrible!
01:06:46Why, everyone's expecting a new Evelyn Rivers piece!
01:06:48This could ruin our company's reputation!
01:06:51Mr. Smith, when did you bring the painting in here?
01:06:53I mean, just the other day.
01:06:55We signed a contract with the gallery and moved it here for our upcoming exhibition.
01:06:59So everyone knows that the painting is here?
01:07:01Yes, but we didn't think security would be an issue.
01:07:05Have you seen the CCTV footage?
01:07:08It was erased, sir.
01:07:09But we're trying to recover the footage.
01:07:11If word gets out about this, artists aren't going to trust us with their works anymore.
01:07:15This is all on you! You never should have brought that painting in here!
01:07:18Thanks to you, my gallery's been attacked!
01:07:20My Evelyn painting was destroyed in your gallery, Ms. Williams.
01:07:23I should hold you accountable.
01:07:25How are you going to cover the charges?
01:07:27Don't blame me, Ms. Liazon! You were in charge!
01:07:29That painting could have been damaged before I got here!
01:07:40What if we use the Evelyn piece that I bought the other day?
01:07:43Can't we use that as a replacement?
01:07:45It's not the painting we promised. It might do our reputation more harm than good.
01:07:52Don't worry, Theo. I've got a plan. Just trust me.
01:07:56Are you sure?
01:07:59I think Nora's behind this.
01:08:01I think so too. But we don't have proof.
01:08:04We just need to focus on saving the exhibition. Do you trust me?
01:08:08I trust you, Emily.
01:08:10Mr. Williams, I just received an invitation to Emily's first ever exhibit.
01:08:15That's great. Clear my calendar. I'm going to be there to personally support my granddaughter.
01:08:41I'm excited to see the new Evelyn piece. She hasn't released new work in years.
01:08:46I know. Me too. I had to cancel all my plans today to come see it.
01:08:52Good evening, everyone. Thank you all for coming tonight, and welcome to Dazzling's first exhibit.
01:08:57Thank you, Mr. Smith. But this couldn't have happened without all the help from my colleagues and friends.
01:09:02Friends? Is she mocking us?
01:09:06Mock us all you want, Emily. Today, I will show you how to make a good art piece.
01:09:11I'm going to be there to personally support my granddaughter.
01:09:14Thank you, Mr. Smith.
01:09:16I'm excited to see the new Evelyn piece. She hasn't released new work in years.
01:09:21I know. Me too. I had to cancel all my plans today to come see it.
01:09:25Mock us all you want, Emily. Today, I will make sure to destroy you for good in front of all of these people.
01:09:33Show us Evelyn's piece.
01:09:35As you wish.
01:09:44You brought us all the way down here for this garbage?
01:09:47Do you think we're that stupid?
01:09:49This is your plan, Emily? Displaying the ruined painting? You're a total nutjob.
01:09:54Ruined? Dazzling.
01:09:56Calm down, everyone. This is the painting I promised, but someone snuck in and destroyed it a few days ago.
01:10:02You all deserve to see the painting you were expecting, even after what happened.
01:10:07This is still an Evelyn Rivers piece at its core.
01:10:10No matter how eloquently you put it, it's still a ruined painting, and this exhibit is a failure.
01:10:16Don't jump to conclusions, Nora. This is the piece I promised, but I didn't say it was the only thing on display tonight.
01:10:22This is tonight's new centerpiece.
01:10:25This is tonight's new centerpiece.
01:10:28There's no way this is the only thing on display.
01:10:31Oh my god, this is the only thing on display.
01:10:33I should have told you about it.
01:10:35I didn't know it was the only piece.
01:10:38You changed this exhibit's centerpiece without telling us?
01:10:41This piece was kept a secret on purpose. If no one knows about it, no one can sneak in and destroy it.
01:10:47And I reviewed the situation thoroughly. I fully support her strategy.
01:10:52This is a new Evelyn Rivers masterpiece.
01:10:57Another Evelyn Rivers? How on earth did you manage to get it?
01:11:00Evelyn is a very private person, and she's meticulous about who she shows her art to.
01:11:05Miss Williams here humbly admits to owning one Evelyn Rivers piece.
01:11:10And this uppity peasant has two?
01:11:13That's straight up BS.
01:11:15I'm telling you all, this is not a genuine painting.
01:11:18So we don't buy this second Evelyn piece bullshit.
01:11:21I bet it's trash just like you.
01:11:25So we don't buy this...
01:11:26She could be the reason why Theodore canceled the engagement.
01:11:30Ted, run a background check on her.
01:11:33On it, sir.
01:11:41This isn't an Evelyn Rivers painting.
01:11:43It's just a sketch.
01:11:45It's just a sketch.
01:11:47This is an Evelyn piece?
01:11:49This looks like Emily doodled on the canvas herself.
01:11:52Can't you see, Theo? Emily's a fraud.
01:11:54She tricked you and everyone else, and she turned this entire exhibit into a mess.
01:11:58I'm not an idiot, Nora.
01:12:00I believe Emily, because she's telling the truth.
01:12:03And you're right, Nora.
01:12:04This is a sketch, but it's an Evelyn Rivers sketch.
01:12:08Now, I'm sure that there's an expert art appraiser here who could validate this piece of shit.
01:12:12Anyone?
01:12:13This is a joke!
01:12:15Why would an appraiser waste his time on a doodle?
01:12:17I can prove to you that this is an Evelyn sketch.
01:12:20Why don't we ask Evelyn herself, then, since she's here tonight?
01:12:25I suppose it's time I introduce myself.
01:12:32That's Evelyn?
01:12:33Are you sure?
01:12:35I am Evelyn Rivers.
01:12:37You're hilarious!
01:12:39I've been friends with Evelyn for years.
01:12:41You look nothing like her.
01:12:42Have some respect, Emily.
01:12:44If you don't recognize Evelyn, that's your problem.
01:12:47This garbage is not mine.
01:12:49I would never embarrass myself with a scroll like this.
01:12:57That is my painting!
01:12:58That was stolen from me years ago in Italy.
01:13:01What a coincidence, Miss Rivers.
01:13:02Emily also studied in Italy.
01:13:05Emily stole Evelyn's painting!
01:13:07And she slashed Evelyn's painting before the exhibit to hide her theft from everyone.
01:13:12Those are quite the allegations, Nora.
01:13:14Do you have some proof?
01:13:18You have a wild imagination, Nora.
01:13:21Yeah, I wouldn't believe that story, too.
01:13:23If I wasn't Evelyn Rivers myself...
01:13:27Evelyn! I thought you were in France!
01:13:29I would have missed my friend's first exhibit for the world.
01:13:32I'm sorry.
01:13:33You're Evelyn Rivers?
01:13:35I mean, look at you. You're practically a child compared to her.
01:13:37Thief's liaison and a fraud artist.
01:13:39What a dynamite duo.
01:13:41How adorable.
01:13:43Maybe they can be cellmates soon.
01:13:45Evelyn's incredible talent made everyone think that she was in her forties.
01:13:48But she rose to fame when she was sixteen.
01:13:51She's a genius painter.
01:13:53You're a genius painter, too, Emily.
01:13:55You just don't show your work much because, unlike me, you're not in it for the money.
01:14:01Get them off the stage!
01:14:03We're here for the real Evelyn Rivers, not some cheap, childish act.
01:14:08See? You may have theater-fooled, but everyone here knows you're a fraud.
01:14:12Guards! Take these impostors away!
01:14:18Guards! Take these impostors away!
01:14:21No one's taking anyone anywhere!
01:14:23That's an order!
01:14:27Theo! Evelyn is our only shot at saving this exhibit.
01:14:30If you want her help, you need to get back together with me.
01:14:34If you just let me finish...
01:14:36I can explain how we can fix this.
01:14:37Do you ever shut up?
01:14:39I've had enough of your bullshit!
01:14:41Look, Nora, you don't call the shots around here.
01:14:45Let her finish.
01:14:47Anyone can pretend to be Evelyn Rivers.
01:14:50No one knows what she looks like.
01:14:52The only way to determine who she really is...
01:14:55is a live painting.
01:14:59I am so lost right now.
01:15:02Who's Evelyn?
01:15:06Let's do it then!
01:15:07Are you sure your Evelyn is up for the challenge?
01:15:11I know she is.
01:15:13Well, if my Evelyn is the real deal,
01:15:15then Theodore has to promote me and propose.
01:15:20My Evelyn is a master forger.
01:15:23Emily and her little imposter are going down in this challenge.
01:15:28Well, let's give the crowd what they want.
01:15:32They're both going to paint from the draft sketch in the center.
01:15:36What?
01:16:01What the heck is she doing?
01:16:03Those are heavy-handed strokes.
01:16:05She's a painter, Owl.
01:16:08You heard them.
01:16:09Take your pathetic scribbler and crawl back to the gutter where you belong.
01:16:17You're wasting our time, you little rat!
01:16:24You dare interrupt her artistic flow?
01:16:26Is she called an artistic flow?
01:16:27I'm trying to save your ass, you ungrateful skank!
01:16:31Look, her painting!
01:16:34It has like a real romantic feel to it.
01:16:37It's mesmerizing.
01:16:40It's not bad, but it lacks emotion.
01:16:42It's just way too academic.
01:16:45Does that mean the young artist is the real Evelyn?
01:16:50It only means that child can paint.
01:16:53It doesn't prove anything.
01:16:55She's right.
01:16:56They're only painting from a sketch, not their own imagination.
01:16:58Naturally, the outcome would be academic.
01:17:00She has a point.
01:17:05For a group of so-called artists, you guys are incredibly short-sighted.
01:17:14I can actually see really far.
01:17:18And what makes you say that?
01:17:20Even if I create a masterpiece tonight, you won't believe me or Emily.
01:17:25You're so focused on my age and her status.
01:17:30No way she'll believe anything Nora says because she's a Williams.
01:17:34Of course! The Williams are rich and famous.
01:17:36They wouldn't dare lie to us.
01:17:39You should all be ashamed of yourselves for mocking Emily, the real Williams-Eris.
01:17:50Emily, your child actor is a real comedian.
01:17:53Do you think people are really going to believe this?
01:17:55But I really am.
01:17:56This woman is pretending to be me.
01:17:58I can't believe this.
01:17:59This is ridiculous. Just throw them out.
01:18:02Boo! Get out of here, imposters!
01:18:05Boo! Get out!
01:18:09This will shake up your little beggar brain.
01:18:14Nora!
01:18:19Nora, that's enough! Stop now or you're finished!
01:18:23You're still on her side.
01:18:25Enough!
01:18:30You're blind, Theo.
01:18:31This witch has seduced you. You're under her spell.
01:18:34Who dares lay a hand on my granddaughter?
01:18:40Who dares lay a hand on my granddaughter?
01:18:45That's Mr. Williams himself.
01:18:50Ted, call the police and grab that imposter.
01:18:54You witless opportunist.
01:18:56Why are you impersonating my granddaughter, Emily?
01:19:00No way. That means...
01:19:02Emily is the real William Harris. Not...
01:19:05Him.
01:19:06She is?
01:19:07Yes, she is.
01:19:09Emily is the real William Harris. Not Nora.
01:19:12She is? How is that possible?
01:19:15So, you called off the engagement because you thought this woman was my granddaughter?
01:19:21Mr. Williams, I...
01:19:22I am so sorry, Ms. Williams. I didn't recognize you.
01:19:26Yes, I'm sorry too, Ms. Williams. I actually like your style.
01:19:29Nora was just forcing us to be mean to you.
01:19:32She's right. Nora was manipulating us.
01:19:36I am so sorry I didn't realize that you were the real William Harris.
01:19:40Whether I'm an heiress or not, you had no right to bully me.
01:19:43Everyone deserves spare treatment at work.
01:19:46You're right, Ms. Williams. And I'm so sorry.
01:19:50Mr. Smith, I hope you can forgive us too.
01:19:53Yes, Mr. Smith. We didn't mean to treat Emily that way.
01:19:56Please give us another chance.
01:19:58Get out of here, you three.
01:19:59Alright, and expect a call from HR because you're fired.
01:20:02Wait. Don't take her away.
01:20:04Please.
01:20:06There's something else you need to know about Nora.
01:20:09Other than the fact that she was pretending to be me.
01:20:11Nora is the one who destroyed the first painting.
01:20:14What? No! You don't have any proof.
01:20:16You think you're clever because you deleted the CCTV footage.
01:20:19But what you don't know is that someone else was watching that night.
01:20:23You can come out now.
01:20:31I'm sorry, Charles.
01:20:34I'm a servant for the Williams family.
01:20:38And Nora, who's pretending to be their heiress, is my daughter.
01:20:44But there's more to the story.
01:20:46I came to Dazzling disguised as a regular worker on a mission.
01:20:53Someone stole a large amount of money from the Williams and transferred it to Dazzling.
01:20:58I infiltrated Dazzling to catch the culprit.
01:21:01And guess what?
01:21:03It was none other than Nora herself.
01:21:06No! I may have pretended to be the heiress, but I never stole a single dime.
01:21:10She's lying!
01:21:11You authorized a wire transfer of $10 million from Dazzling's corporate account to a private account.
01:21:17Yeah, I did, but it was Tina's idea!
01:21:21Security! Grab that thief!
01:21:25Argh!
01:21:29Use Dazzling funds, Ms. Williams. You can cover your tracks later.
01:21:33Isn't that stealing?
01:21:35You're the CEO's fiancee. That money is practically yours.
01:21:41You told me you were transferring the money to Angelica and she never received it!
01:21:45What the hell? You're an idiot!
01:21:46I hate you!
01:21:47I hate you all!
01:21:48Wow.
01:21:53Please, forgive the theatrics. I hope the mood hasn't soured, but let's go back to appreciating art.
01:21:59The night is still young. Let's enjoy the evening, everyone.
01:22:03So, this whole hiding your identity thing, I'm guessing that was your idea?
01:22:07Yes. I've been meaning to tell you, but things just kept coming up.
01:22:11No, it's okay. I'm just honestly glad that you're the actual Williams heiress.
01:22:16You are?
01:22:18Honestly, I'm sorry I called off the engagement.
01:22:24I love you. And if I had known, I wouldn't have...
01:22:27I know. Let's just start over. Right?
01:22:32You could give me another chance.
01:22:35I won't permit this!
01:22:39I won't permit this!
01:22:42What you did was incredibly disrespectful to the Williams name.
01:22:51What if this happens again?
01:22:54Sir, I'm so sorry. Nora, she was pretending to be your granddaughter and she confused me.
01:23:01I promise that my love for Emily is real.
01:23:03Coming from somebody who gets confused?
01:23:06I'm a little skeptical of this love.
01:23:10Please, sir, just give me another chance.
01:23:12I'll do anything to prove that my love for Emily is genuine.
01:23:16And if I don't?
01:23:23Emily, do you want to be with him?
01:23:27I've fallen in love with him.
01:23:31Then I'm not standing in the way of my granddaughter's happiness.
01:23:36Thanks, Gramps.
01:23:39Well, sir, with your permission, I would like to ask for your granddaughter's hand in marriage.
01:23:45This is our precious family heirloom, Theodore.
01:23:48It's yours now, to give to my granddaughter.
01:23:55Thank you, sir. This is truly an honor.
01:24:00I promise that I will always love and cherish Emily.
01:24:09Emily, I love you. Will you marry me?
01:24:22I love you too, Theo.
01:24:24And yes, I will marry you.
01:24:40Oh!
01:24:46You scared me!
01:24:53I just needed a hug from my always-busy boss wife.
01:24:56What are you saying? I'm too busy for my always-on-the-go CEO husband?
01:25:01No, what I'm saying is we need a weekend getaway vacation.
01:25:07A getaway? But we still have so much to do with the office.
01:25:12It's fine. It'll just be a few days. Just us. No drama.
01:25:17And I'll teach you some baseball. And maybe we'll start thinking about a family.
01:25:32Too bad I said yes.
01:25:34Yes.
01:25:36By the way, how did you get Gramps to give you his blessing?
01:25:42I simply told him that if he didn't give us our blessing, we'd elope.
01:25:48You bluffed and he fell for it.
01:25:50Who said I was bluffing?
01:26:05You
