00:01Handmade jewelry! Hey, it's one of a kind! Please, please!
00:04Jane Howard, the wealthiest entrepreneur in the country, has just acquired Celestia Jewels, the largest luxury jewelry brand in the nation.
00:16Ms. Howard, why pay triple the market value for Celestia Jewels?
00:22For years, I built an empire from nothing. Real estate, capital, global reach, but one thing I could never reclaim.
00:37My daughter, Alice, vanished 15 years ago. She had a dream to be a jewelry designer.
00:45So now I'm launching a nationwide competition, and the winner will receive 10 million dollars.
00:57I just hope she never gave up on that dream.
01:01Handmade jewelry! Hey, it's one of a kind! Please, please come check it out!
01:05Sir, hey! Maybe a little something for your wife?
01:08You know what they say, happy wife, happy life!
01:11I'm divorced.
01:13Oh, uh, sorry!
01:18Still 362 bucks short for rent this month?
01:28Bruce! Bruce, hi!
01:31Look, I finished my design.
01:36I think you should enter it into the contest.
01:38This is absolutely gorgeous, babe.
01:41Alice, how can I take credit for your work?
01:44Well, they'll never give an award to me.
01:46I have a high school diploma, no connections, no pedigree.
01:49They won't even look at my entry.
01:52But you...
01:54You're different.
01:55You're different.
01:56Alright.
01:57It's been good, but only if you promise to come with me to the ceremony.
02:04If I win, I promise I'll propose to you right there on stage.
02:08That way you'll be up there with me.
02:09Oh, God.
02:10First, you're too good to me.
02:12By the way, didn't you save like, uh, 20 grand selling jewelry here?
02:17Do you think you could lend it to me?
02:19What for?
02:21It's for our wedding.
02:22My savings are a little tight right now, but it makes you uncomfortable.
02:25I can ask someone else.
02:26No!
02:27Hey, no!
02:28I'm happy to do my part for our wedding.
02:33Ben?
02:36Alice?
02:38You're an angel.
02:40I am so lucky to have you.
02:43Oh, crap.
02:44I'm late for work at Celestial Jewelers.
02:45Do you mind waiting until Lucy gets here?
02:48Thank you, darling.
02:50Bye!
02:53Dumb bitch.
02:54You really thought I'd marry you?
02:57After I win this contest, wouldn't I be in the same league again?
03:05Boss?
03:06Here are the designs that made it to the finals of our competition.
03:09Also, the board would like to invite you to present the award.
03:13Still no clues about Alice?
03:16Yeah, sorry, boss.
03:17No one named Alice submitted anything.
03:20All right.
03:22Wait!
03:23This design!
03:24This is Alice's design!
03:25This is Alice's design!
03:26Please.
03:27Father, I beg you, take Alice in.
03:28Impossible.
03:29This child has no father.
03:30She's a disgrace to our family.
03:31I'm giving you one last chance.
03:33If you abandon her, I'll contact the best hospital and get you a kidney transplant right now.
03:34No!
03:35Alice is my daughter and I will never leave her.
03:36even
03:38even if it cost me my own life.
03:39No.
03:40I will never leave her.
03:41What?
03:42She's a disgrace to her.
03:43I will never leave her.
03:44You're going to have her.
03:45I will never leave her.
03:46There's nothing.
03:47You're going to have to leave her.
03:48You're going to have to leave her.
03:49This child has no father.
03:51She's a disgrace to our family.
03:53I'm giving you one last chance.
03:54If you abandon her, I'll contact the best hospital and get you a kidney transplant right now.
03:59No!
04:00Alice is my daughter, and I will never leave her.
04:04Even if it costs me my own life.
04:11This is for you.
04:14Oh, what is it, sweetie?
04:16It's a surprise.
04:18Oh.
04:19I wonder what it is.
04:25Alice.
04:29Honey.
04:33Did you burn your hand making this for me?
04:37It doesn't hurt at all.
04:39Check out the ring I designed.
04:43How's it look?
04:47My baby.
04:48This is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
04:59Even as a little girl, Alice was so thoughtful.
05:06She put so much effort into making this plastic ring for me.
05:09She swore that one day she'd make me a real one.
05:13With a real gemstone.
05:15Boss, with all due respect, although the designs are similar and unidentical, I don't think we can assume that this is Alice's design.
05:22Look at this.
05:23Look at this.
05:24This is hers.
05:25This is Alice's.
05:26This is Alice's.
05:27This is Alice's.
05:28Get the car ready.
05:36We're going for my daughter right now.
05:39Are you kidding me?
05:44Bruce just won the award and you're still out here selling jewelry?
05:47Oh my God, he's going to be loose.
05:50Oh my God.
05:51You're going like that?
05:53Oh, there's no time to change.
05:54Besides, Bruce isn't the kind of guy to care about appearances anyway.
05:58What about the booth?
05:59Um, could you just close that for me, please?
06:05Happy engagement, girl.
06:08According to the registration, the designer of that ring is Bruce Adams.
06:12He works for one of the Celestial Jewel Factories.
06:15And his father is Charles Adams, who is a sales consultant at a Portland branch.
06:20Not Alice.
06:21No, but according to his social media, he has a girlfriend named Alice.
06:28That's it.
06:30I want everything on this, Alice, immediately.
06:33And get a DNA test started as soon as possible.
06:41Oh my God, get out of the way!
06:52Watch it!
06:52The guy is getting engaged today!
06:58Are you all right, miss?
07:07Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
07:09Yeah, but I gotta go.
07:11I have a proposal to get...
07:12Alice?
07:12Could that be my Alice?
07:31Congratulations on your big win, Bruce!
07:34I believe the company's holding such an extravagant ceremony just for you.
07:37You must be a rising star in the company.
07:39Come on.
07:40This is nothing.
07:41I didn't even put in any effort.
07:44You're such a genius!
07:45That is real talent right there.
07:47Yes.
07:47Very gifted.
07:49Oh, if you excuse me, I have to go get my toast.
07:51Here he is, boss.
08:02That is Bruce Adams.
08:05Where's his girlfriend?
08:05Oh, we did it, Bruce.
08:23Thank you, everyone.
08:26This moment is truly incredible.
08:29And this award, it's not just the result of my own work.
08:34This is it, Alice.
08:35Your moment.
08:38So it is Alice.
08:40I have to thank someone special.
08:44Someone I truly love.
08:47Without her, this ring wouldn't exist.
08:51Without her, I wouldn't be getting this award.
08:53Oh my God, I can't believe he's finally proposing to Alice.
08:56Alice, she's sacrificed so much for him.
08:59Yeah.
08:59She works at the factory all week.
09:01And then she makes her handmade jewelry before and after.
09:03She's barely had a break in three years.
09:06She's my muse.
09:08She's my soulmate.
09:10She's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.
09:15And with you all here today, I would like to propose to her.
09:18Will you marry me?
09:25Elena!
09:25Elena!
09:33Yes, I do.
09:35No way.
10:00That is the CFO's daughter.
10:02They're a total power couple.
10:04Marrying her?
10:07He leveled up big time.
10:09Are you kidding me?
10:11Alice designed that ring.
10:12He should be proposing to her.
10:14You're telling me Alice designed that ring.
10:16Are you sure?
10:18Yes.
10:19I saw her working on it at night after.
10:20That's her design.
10:22Alice, is it you?
10:24Elena is the love of my life.
10:27Without her, I could have never created this perfect ring.
10:30Half of this prize belongs to her.
10:34Watching you win this award.
10:36It makes everything I've done worth it.
10:40Bruce, what are you talking about?
10:41Who is she?
10:42Sorry, Alice.
10:44Elena is the CFO's daughter.
10:46And here, you are just a nobody.
10:49So, why don't you stop embarrassing yourself and get out of here?
10:53Bruce, who is she?
10:56She's just a friend.
10:57A friend?
11:00Bruce, we've lived together for three years and now I'm just a friend to you?
11:04Bruce, you better tell me the truth.
11:05Who the hell is this little bitch?
11:07All right, Elena, I met her at a bar and she came on to me.
11:12She was flirting.
11:14She was pushing.
11:15She wouldn't leave me alone.
11:16She wouldn't take a hint.
11:18I am a guy and it was just hard to say no.
11:21What are you talking about?
11:23Bruce, you said that you loved me.
11:25You pathetic scape.
11:27I knew it.
11:36You show up after Bruce is winning to try and get a piece?
11:40Guess what?
11:41You're getting nothing.
11:42The money is ours.
11:45Bruce and I are getting married in three days.
11:47But you, you promised that you were going to propose to me with that ring.
11:59How could you lie to me like this?
12:01Stay away from my son.
12:04You slut.
12:08Bruce, marry you?
12:10You've got to be kidding me.
12:11My son is a rising star in the design world.
12:14Everyone is going to know his name.
12:17Why on earth would he settle for some broken nobody hawking trinkets on the street?
12:27Boss, boss.
12:28We don't have DNA confirmation yet.
12:30Any action would look bad on the group's image.
12:32Just wait a little longer.
12:34How much longer?
12:35What?
12:36Ten minutes tops.
12:39You people?
12:41You're all monsters.
12:43I designed that ring.
12:44Not Bruce.
12:45Me.
12:47Shut your mouth.
12:51How shameless can you be?
12:53Does anyone here actually believe this low-life street vendor designed this fine piece of jewelry
12:58and won the grand prize?
13:00Seriously, you're so desperate to marry my son that you'd make up fairy tales.
13:09Listen closely.
13:10Our family has status, history, legacy.
13:15You?
13:16You're a nobody.
13:18An orphan your parents dumped on the side of the road.
13:21Nobody wanted you then and nobody wants you now.
13:25Alice, you have to fight back.
13:32Shut up.
13:33Alice's parents didn't dump her.
13:35She was in the car accident.
13:36She lost her memory.
13:37Who cares?
13:38To tell you the truth, we only kept you around because you were useful.
13:42Free cash.
13:43Free labor.
13:45Easy to control.
13:46You actually thought you mattered.
13:49What a joke.
13:50Exactly.
13:51Why would my son want to marry someone like you?
13:54But take a look at Elena here.
13:57Now, she is a woman that my son deserves.
14:00So why don't you just crawl back to the gutter that you came from
14:04and get the fuck out of here.
14:07Yeah.
14:08Get the fuck out of here.
14:10Oh, I will.
14:11But not until Bruce gives me back the $20,000 I gave him.
14:17$20,000?
14:18That's a joke.
14:20I don't remember you giving me a single cent.
14:26God, how shameless can you be?
14:28Okay, Bruce just won $10,000,000.
14:31Why would we care about your $20,000?
14:34We just don't want to give it back.
14:39I can't believe it.
14:41I gave everything to this family.
14:44I worked my ass off.
14:45I even paid your son's tuition so he could go back to school
14:48and become a so-called jewelry designer,
14:50which, by the way, he didn't deserve.
14:53And this ring you're so proud of?
14:55I designed that ring.
14:58Bruce is nothing but a thief.
15:04Bruce, come on.
15:06Please be a man for once and tell them who really designed it.
15:09Tell the truth.
15:10Because I stayed up night after night designing it for you
15:15so you could win this contest and propose to me like you promised.
15:18Wait, so he cheated?
15:21What a fraud.
15:23Bruce, is that true?
15:24The ring you gave me was designed by her?
15:31Shut your mouth.
15:33How dare you question mine, Tigrid?
15:36I will sue you for slander.
15:38Then are the results in?
15:41We'll call them now!
15:42Touch her again.
15:45I swear I will destroy you all!
15:50I will sue you for slander.
15:53You're such a fucking asshole.
15:56Alice gave you everything and this is how you repay her?
16:00You're just jealous because Bruce won the award and got the prize.
16:05I've dealt with way too many gold diggers like you.
16:07Cheap and shameless.
16:08So you and your friend better crawl right back out those doors
16:14because one word from my daddy
16:17and you will both be blacklisted from the entire jewelry industry.
16:22You won't even be able to sell your little beads at a flea market.
16:27Lucy, you should go.
16:28You don't deserve to be dragged into this.
16:30No, Alice.
16:31She's right.
16:32You have a dream.
16:33I don't want you to lose it over me.
16:35Please.
16:38I'm sorry, Elena.
16:42Oh, what was that?
16:44I didn't hear you.
16:45I said.
16:47Go fuck yourself, bitch.
16:50How dare you?
16:54What a shame.
16:56I was going to be merciful.
16:58Security crowd, then.
17:01What the hell?
17:02Lady, Lady, what?
17:03God, I gave you a chance.
17:05But now, you've got nowhere to go.
17:21You think you're pretty.
17:22Bruce?
17:30Bruce, she means nothing to you.
17:32I don't like her pretty face.
17:34I'm going to ruin it.
17:43Bruce.
17:46Bruce, Bruce, what are you doing?
17:48Hey, Alice, you should have stayed quiet, but now you have to pay the price.
17:54No, Bruce.
17:55Bruce, no.
17:56Boss, it's a match.
18:01Alice.
18:02My daughter.
18:06Hand me my gun.
18:07Oh, my God, who is she?
18:28Do you know her?
18:29I have no idea.
18:30So, what the fuck?
