00:00:00Oh, yes, Preston.
00:00:07Oh, Preston.
00:00:11Preston.
00:00:13Preston.
00:00:16Sorry, what were you saying, Father?
00:00:18I said, are you planning to attend our little celebration next week?
00:00:22Yes, you must come.
00:00:24Everyone will expect you to be there.
00:00:26I'm busy next week.
00:00:28But...
00:00:28Next week is the anniversary of my mother's death.
00:00:33I'm sure Father has forgotten.
00:00:35After all, it was one year ago.
00:00:37Don't speak that way in front of your stepmother.
00:00:40It's all right, darling.
00:00:43I'll get it.
00:00:52You.
00:00:55Oh, Emily, you're finally here.
00:00:58Preston, this is Emily, your new stepsister.
00:01:04Preston.
00:01:07You're late.
00:01:08Okay, I know, I know.
00:01:09I'm sorry.
00:01:09I will not keep covering for you.
00:01:11You said that the last time.
00:01:14Besides, I finished my photography portfolio.
00:01:17Oh, finally.
00:01:18I thought you'd never finish.
00:01:19I wanted it to be perfect.
00:01:21Perfect doesn't pay the bills.
00:01:23But it will.
00:01:24Okay.
00:01:24Until then, take this tray.
00:01:27These little finger foods aren't going to serve themselves.
00:01:32Preston.
00:01:33Nice to meet you.
00:01:34Who is he?
00:01:37He looks like a total tool.
00:01:38Shh.
00:01:39I wouldn't say that too loudly.
00:01:41This is his house.
00:01:42It's very nice.
00:01:43In his party.
00:01:44Hey, about time you made an appearance.
00:01:50Sorry, I was on a business call.
00:01:52Well, love to see all of your hard work finally paying off, but it's time to take this all in,
00:01:56my friend.
00:01:57After flight or goes public, this is going to be our lives every single night.
00:02:03Oh, look who just arrived.
00:02:06You can't escape me tonight, Preston.
00:02:10I take it you invited her?
00:02:12Just protecting my investment.
00:02:14Don't remind me.
00:02:15Hey, you're the youngest CEO and owner to take a company public.
00:02:19That makes an already skeptical market even more nervous.
00:02:22It's important to project stability.
00:02:26I know.
00:02:27Yeah, which means that until the IPO, you and Cassie are the perfect, happy couple.
00:02:34Then what?
00:02:36After.
00:02:36It doesn't matter what or who you do.
00:02:39After, you, and by the transit of property, I, will be very, very rich.
00:02:47Thanks.
00:02:53Oh, hell no.
00:02:57Hello?
00:02:58Did you hear what I said?
00:02:59We're going to be rich.
00:03:01Filthy rich.
00:03:01I mean, this could be your chance to, uh, get in on the ground floor, if you know what I mean.
00:03:06Shut up.
00:03:09Dylan?
00:03:10I see you're still preying on common carry-in.
00:03:13Guilty.
00:03:14Cassie.
00:03:16Didn't know you were coming tonight.
00:03:18I'm full of surprises.
00:03:21You can go now.
00:03:22Go serve your cheese elsewhere.
00:03:24Shoot.
00:03:29I knew you wanted to get me alone.
00:03:31No, just to remind you that we are not a couple.
00:03:35But, Preston.
00:03:36No.
00:03:37Wait.
00:03:37We're only keeping the charade up until the IPO goes through.
00:03:41So remember, you're not my girlfriend.
00:03:47Where are you going?
00:03:50To my room.
00:03:51I didn't even want to host this party.
00:04:02Eavesdrop much?
00:04:03Ugh.
00:04:04He doesn't even have manners.
00:04:07Where did Preston go?
00:04:09He's not feeling well.
00:04:11He needs to be down here showing his face.
00:04:13I know.
00:04:14It's so much worse.
00:04:17I don't know why.
00:04:17Deep breaths.
00:04:19Actually, don't worry.
00:04:20I've got just the plan to keep him in line.
00:04:23He needs to be reminded that I'm not just someone to be tossed aside.
00:04:31Uh, yes.
00:04:32How can I help you?
00:04:33I need you to bring a bottle of champagne and two glasses up to the host's room.
00:04:38My job only includes doing catering for the party.
00:04:41If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford,
00:04:43I suggest you do what I say.
00:04:45Uh, sure.
00:04:53Okay.
00:05:00Shit.
00:05:02Hi, Mom.
00:05:03I am at work.
00:05:05Can I call you back later?
00:05:06Honey, I got married.
00:05:08You what?
00:05:09Father?
00:05:10Son?
00:05:11I'm calling to tell you that I got married.
00:05:14What?
00:05:16Excuse me?
00:05:17That's right.
00:05:18Are you serious?
00:05:21Of course I am.
00:05:23Okay, but Mom, last time was...
00:05:25Listen, this time it's for real.
00:05:28What the hell were you thinking?
00:05:30Mom died less than a year ago.
00:05:33Your mother would want me to be happy.
00:05:34Hey, why don't you?
00:05:36I'm calling to tell you to stay home tomorrow.
00:05:40Why?
00:05:41So you can meet my new wife, of course.
00:05:44So will you come?
00:05:46Okay.
00:05:48Wonderful.
00:05:48We have something nice planned.
00:05:50I want you to be there.
00:05:52Okay.
00:05:53Great.
00:05:54Yeah, I can only go.
00:05:56Bye, sweetie.
00:05:57If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford,
00:06:22I suggest you do what I say.
00:06:23Okay.
00:06:23Hello?
00:06:34Is anybody...
00:06:36No.
00:06:39Shit, shit.
00:06:54Shit.
00:06:58Um, hello?
00:07:03Um, I am so, so sorry.
00:07:06Okay.
00:07:09Beautiful woman on her knees in my bedroom.
00:07:18I see no reason to apologize.
00:07:27I'm gonna finish cleaning all this up, I promise.
00:07:30Just, um...
00:07:32Preston, Langford, how dare you cheat on me?
00:07:35And with the help?
00:07:36This is gonna ruin your IPO.
00:07:40What the fuck?
00:07:43Where is she?
00:07:45What makes you think I'm cheating on you?
00:07:47We're such a happy couple.
00:07:49I, um...
00:07:50I heard...
00:07:54Well, it doesn't matter who told me.
00:07:56You are.
00:07:57Look!
00:07:59Someone dropped this off in my room
00:08:00without me knowing.
00:08:03I would thank them if I knew who did it.
00:08:05And the girl who brought it up here?
00:08:07Left.
00:08:09So should you.
00:08:11No!
00:08:12Goodbye.
00:08:13Preston, stop.
00:08:13Thank you for stopping by.
00:08:14No, I'm not leaving.
00:08:15Yes, you are.
00:08:15Preston, stop.
00:08:16Bye-bye.
00:08:17No, Preston.
00:08:17Bye-bye.
00:08:18Preston!
00:08:19Preston!
00:08:20Preston!
00:08:20I'm so sorry about all this again.
00:08:33Guess I should be going.
00:08:35I'm afraid I can't allow that.
00:08:39What do you mean?
00:08:41I know, Cassie.
00:08:43Whatever drama she's stirring up
00:08:44needs to settle.
00:08:46I'm guessing she's probably
00:08:47hanging around outside the room
00:08:49for a while.
00:08:50But what are we supposed to do
00:08:52in the meantime?
00:08:54Hmm.
00:08:55That's a good question.
00:08:57If only...
00:08:59Oh, look.
00:09:01Champagne.
00:09:06You're in a towel.
00:09:09Well, you're right.
00:09:10I should probably take it off.
00:09:11No!
00:09:12All right.
00:09:15You're still...
00:09:17You're still just wearing a towel.
00:09:22Then imagine I have a bathing suit
00:09:23on underneath.
00:09:24But you don't.
00:09:25Then imagine I don't.
00:09:29Cheers.
00:09:31Cheers.
00:09:40You know, that bottle
00:09:41cost more than my first car.
00:09:42Your first car probably
00:09:43tasted better.
00:09:45You don't have to drink.
00:09:46No.
00:09:49I am willing to try
00:09:50something different tonight.
00:09:51Hmm.
00:09:55Can I ask you something?
00:09:57Sure.
00:09:58Why do you pretend
00:09:59to be with her?
00:10:02I saw you guys
00:10:03arguing downstairs
00:10:04at the party.
00:10:05It's complicated.
00:10:07Yeah, I get it.
00:10:08Just a big, important businessman
00:10:12with big, important
00:10:12businessman problems.
00:10:15You're right.
00:10:16Let's just say
00:10:17my cheating act
00:10:18isn't where I want
00:10:18to give my attention
00:10:19to right now.
00:10:27How's the champagne?
00:10:29It's growing on me.
00:10:30my turn
00:10:32to ask you something.
00:10:34All right.
00:10:41What's your name?
00:10:41Oh, Preston.
00:10:55This is Emily,
00:10:56your stepsister.
00:10:57I told her to fly.
00:10:59Mom.
00:11:00But she wouldn't accept
00:11:01money for a plane ticket.
00:11:02I don't need any help.
00:11:03I can take care of myself.
00:11:05Really?
00:11:05She's so stubborn.
00:11:07Family.
00:11:08Am I right?
00:11:09Best behavior, Emily.
00:11:16Darling,
00:11:17look who just arrived.
00:11:19You must be Emily.
00:11:21Your mother has told me
00:11:22so much about you.
00:11:23That's nice.
00:11:24I just found out
00:11:25about you yesterday.
00:11:26What a kidder.
00:11:29Preston,
00:11:30why don't you show
00:11:31Emily around the house?
00:11:33That's a wonderful idea.
00:11:35First,
00:11:36you should show
00:11:36your stepsister in the room.
00:11:38We are all
00:11:39one
00:11:39big
00:11:40happy family now.
00:11:47All right?
00:11:48Mm-hmm.
00:11:49Fine?
00:11:50Mm-hmm.
00:11:51Follow me.
00:11:52Okay.
00:11:53Just slow down.
00:12:04That's not what you said
00:12:05the other night.
00:12:06Sis.
00:12:08Asshole.
00:12:17My mom.
00:12:19She's beautiful.
00:12:20was.
00:12:21She was beautiful.
00:12:26I'm sorry.
00:12:27I'm sorry.
00:12:39It really was a beautiful photograph
00:12:41of your mom.
00:12:42It really captured her joy.
00:12:44No.
00:12:48I'm a photographer myself,
00:12:49actually.
00:12:50Or that's the dream,
00:12:51at least.
00:12:52To own my own studio.
00:12:55But...
00:12:55right now,
00:12:56I am just taking photos
00:12:58in between
00:12:59passing redirfs.
00:13:01That's why you didn't
00:13:02tell me your name.
00:13:04You knew who I was.
00:13:05You knew who my family is.
00:13:08Wanted to,
00:13:08I don't know,
00:13:09secure yourself to me
00:13:10like your mother did
00:13:10to my father?
00:13:11What?
00:13:11No.
00:13:12No, no,
00:13:12of course not.
00:13:13Seems a little too convenient
00:13:14if you ask me.
00:13:15I had no idea
00:13:16who you were
00:13:17when we...
00:13:19Well,
00:13:20you know,
00:13:21just...
00:13:23I bet this is you
00:13:24and your mother's game.
00:13:26No.
00:13:27Preston,
00:13:28you've got it all wrong.
00:13:29I don't think so.
00:13:31Listen to me.
00:13:33I don't need you
00:13:34messing everything up.
00:13:35Preston, I...
00:13:36Stay out of my way.
00:13:40Don't fuck up my business.
00:13:44Preston, that...
00:13:48You got Z.
00:13:54Zoe.
00:13:55OMG,
00:13:56tell me everything.
00:13:57Who was the guy
00:13:57your mom married?
00:13:58Is he better than the guy
00:13:59that believed opera
00:13:59was amended by aliens?
00:14:01Yeah, he's...
00:14:01Okay, but...
00:14:03Hey, Zoe,
00:14:04do you...
00:14:05remember that guy
00:14:06I hooked up with
00:14:07at that catering event
00:14:08we worked?
00:14:09Oh, Mr. Hot Moneybags?
00:14:11Yeah, what about him?
00:14:12He is my new stepbrother.
00:14:18Zoe?
00:14:21Hey, did you hear what I said?
00:14:24Yeah, yeah,
00:14:25I heard.
00:14:26That's why my jaw
00:14:26is on the floor.
00:14:28Hmm.
00:14:29You gotta admit,
00:14:30that's kind of hot.
00:14:32No, it...
00:14:32No, it's not.
00:14:33No, no.
00:14:33He is a jerk, okay?
00:14:36He thinks this is
00:14:37some plan I have
00:14:38with my mom
00:14:39to get at his family's money.
00:14:40Ugh, give the guy a break.
00:14:42I'm sure he thinks
00:14:43all women are after his money.
00:14:45Yeah, but I'm not.
00:14:46I know that.
00:14:47Give him time
00:14:48and he will too.
00:14:49How do you know that?
00:14:50Because I know you
00:14:51and money is the last thing
00:14:53you're interested in
00:14:53when dating.
00:14:55Thanks, C.
00:14:56So you're gonna
00:14:57hook up with him again?
00:14:59What?
00:14:59What?
00:15:00I know.
00:15:01The fact that it's taboo
00:15:02makes it so much hotter.
00:15:04Plus, he's right down the hall.
00:15:06He's my stepbrother.
00:15:09That's not enough.
00:15:20Hello?
00:15:20Hello?
00:15:21Are you still there?
00:15:22Yeah.
00:15:23Yeah, I gotta go.
00:15:24Oh, what am I gonna do?
00:15:29I can't be falling
00:15:31for my stepbrother.
00:15:39Oh, my God.
00:15:40It's you.
00:15:42Cassie, meet Emily.
00:15:45My stepsister.
00:15:46Well, I guess it's true
00:15:49what they say.
00:15:50Anything can happen.
00:15:52You know, I'm not
00:15:52really hungry.
00:15:54I think I'm just...
00:15:55Oh, no, no.
00:15:56You must stay.
00:15:58We were just talking
00:15:59about the investors gala.
00:16:00Weren't we, darling?
00:16:03I came over to set up
00:16:04the house for the event
00:16:05and photo shoot.
00:16:06It's all about Preston
00:16:08going public with his company
00:16:09as the youngest CEO.
00:16:11It's sure to be
00:16:12quite the event.
00:16:13Exactly.
00:16:14That's why I insisted
00:16:15you come out
00:16:16as soon as possible.
00:16:18I'm sure I could find
00:16:18something useful
00:16:19for you to do
00:16:19at the party.
00:16:21Maybe serving drinks?
00:16:23Oh, that was just
00:16:24a temporary job.
00:16:26Right, sweetie?
00:16:27Oh.
00:16:28Oh, that's right.
00:16:30You're a part
00:16:31of the family now.
00:16:33I can't help but look at you
00:16:35and think you're the help.
00:16:40Emily is a part
00:16:41of this family now.
00:16:42So I suggest
00:16:44you watch
00:16:45what you're saying.
00:16:49I didn't mean
00:16:50to offend you.
00:16:51It was just
00:16:52an honest observation.
00:16:53I mean,
00:16:54you said it yourself.
00:16:55She's a part
00:16:55of the family now.
00:16:57Don't you want
00:16:57her to fit in?
00:16:58I just want Emily
00:17:00to be able
00:17:00to attract
00:17:01a good man.
00:17:03Well,
00:17:04that might be
00:17:05a little bit
00:17:05of a stretch.
00:17:06I mean,
00:17:07I wouldn't say
00:17:08serving drinks
00:17:09is a career.
00:17:10And what
00:17:12respectable man
00:17:13would want
00:17:13that long term?
00:17:15Right, Preston?
00:17:17You know,
00:17:17I'm good
00:17:18where I'm at.
00:17:19No, you're not.
00:17:20Cassie is right.
00:17:22If you want
00:17:23to move up
00:17:23in life,
00:17:24you need help.
00:17:25Lawrence,
00:17:27can't you find
00:17:27her a position
00:17:28at one of your companies?
00:17:29No, no,
00:17:30you don't.
00:17:31Oh, I'm
00:17:31sure I could
00:17:33find something.
00:17:33But perhaps
00:17:35she'd be
00:17:36a better fit
00:17:37at yours,
00:17:37Preston.
00:17:40No,
00:17:41she wouldn't
00:17:41be a better fit
00:17:42at my company.
00:17:45She probably
00:17:45doesn't even have
00:17:46the proper work
00:17:47experience.
00:17:47Excuse me.
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:49Hi.
00:17:50Yeah, it's me,
00:17:50the one whose life
00:17:52you're talking about
00:17:52right now.
00:17:53How about,
00:17:54how about we all
00:17:54stop making decisions
00:17:56about me
00:17:56like I'm not
00:17:57even here?
00:17:58Really weird.
00:17:59Only trying to help?
00:18:01Yeah, I'm good.
00:18:02Thanks.
00:18:05I am just
00:18:06looking out for you
00:18:06like I always have.
00:18:07Always.
00:18:09Always.
00:18:12Look,
00:18:13maybe if you
00:18:14could be more
00:18:15like Cassie
00:18:16and,
00:18:17you know,
00:18:18find a man
00:18:18who could take
00:18:19care of you,
00:18:20provide for you,
00:18:21you know,
00:18:22like Preston.
00:18:28I'm sorry,
00:18:29it's just
00:18:29the thought of her
00:18:30with Preston.
00:18:31and it's ridiculous.
00:18:34I don't want
00:18:35to offend you,
00:18:36it's just,
00:18:37he's your stepbrother.
00:18:39It would be wrong.
00:18:40I don't mean
00:18:40Preston himself,
00:18:41I just mean
00:18:42a man with money,
00:18:44you know,
00:18:44who could pay
00:18:45for your little photographs.
00:18:47I don't know
00:18:50how many times
00:18:50I have to go
00:18:51over this
00:18:51with you,
00:18:51Mom.
00:18:52Hey,
00:18:52I don't need
00:18:53anyone else's money.
00:18:54I,
00:18:55I make my
00:18:56photography happen
00:18:57for myself.
00:18:58So I don't need
00:18:59you
00:19:00or anyone else
00:19:02or some
00:19:02guy to give me
00:19:03money,
00:19:04unlike some people
00:19:05at this table.
00:19:07Emily.
00:19:08And that's for Preston?
00:19:09If he wasn't
00:19:12my so-called
00:19:13stepbrother,
00:19:15I wouldn't go
00:19:16near him,
00:19:17let alone
00:19:18be with him.
00:19:18leave me alone.
00:19:29What are you mad
00:19:30at me for?
00:19:30I'm not the one
00:19:31that...
00:19:32No,
00:19:32you didn't say it,
00:19:33but you sure
00:19:33didn't defend me,
00:19:34did you?
00:19:36I didn't mean to...
00:19:38Weren't you the one
00:19:39who said,
00:19:40I need to stay
00:19:41out of your way?
00:19:42I
00:19:43didn't exactly...
00:19:45Yes,
00:19:46you did.
00:19:48You're right.
00:19:48I did.
00:19:49I'm sorry.
00:19:51It's just because
00:19:52I really need
00:19:53an angel investor
00:19:54to agree to a deal.
00:19:56And if people
00:19:57found out about me
00:19:58and my stepsister,
00:19:59you know...
00:20:00Don't worry,
00:20:01I won't tell a soul.
00:20:03God,
00:20:04that night was a mistake.
00:20:07It should never happen.
00:20:09You know what better yet?
00:20:12You never have to see me again.
00:20:14I'm leaving.
00:20:16What?
00:20:16I'm gonna go.
00:20:20For good this time.
00:20:21No more fighting
00:20:22with my mother.
00:20:23You're free to handle
00:20:24your important deal
00:20:25without me in the way.
00:20:29I was never meant
00:20:29to be a part of this world.
00:20:30I need you to do something
00:20:39for me.
00:20:46Thanks.
00:20:47I'll send it over today.
00:20:51What are you doing?
00:20:53I know something is going on
00:20:54between you and Emily.
00:20:56She's your stepsister,
00:20:57Preston.
00:20:58I know that.
00:20:59And I am your girlfriend.
00:21:01You are not my girlfriend.
00:21:03I am.
00:21:04If you want your father
00:21:05to think you're a good boy,
00:21:07I know what this gala
00:21:09and this company
00:21:09means to you.
00:21:11Without me by your side,
00:21:13investors flee.
00:21:14The business fails.
00:21:16You'll be an embarrassment.
00:21:17And then you'll never
00:21:19be able to get out
00:21:20from under your father's control.
00:21:21Well, it's your choice.
00:21:25Either me
00:21:26and all your dreams
00:21:27of success
00:21:28or nothing.
00:21:32Come on.
00:21:33Let's feed things up.
00:21:35You need to behave
00:21:36and come down
00:21:37and finish your breakfast.
00:21:48Hello?
00:21:49Yes, this is Emily Monroe.
00:21:55You serious?
00:21:59Uh, um...
00:22:00Yes.
00:22:02No, no, no.
00:22:02Yes, I am.
00:22:03I'm incredibly interested.
00:22:05Mm-hmm.
00:22:07I can be there later today.
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:11Thank you so much.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:19Mm-hmm.
00:22:22Preston.
00:22:24Strawberry for my favorite billionaire?
00:22:26Strawberry.
00:22:27Oh, Emily.
00:22:37I heard you say
00:22:38you were leaving.
00:22:39I'm so sorry to hear that.
00:22:42But it's for the best.
00:22:45It's not like you fit in.
00:22:46We didn't want you to feel like
00:22:48you were out of place
00:22:49or an outsider.
00:22:52Actually,
00:22:52I think I'll stay a little while.
00:22:55What?
00:22:56I have an interview
00:22:57at a photography studio.
00:22:59Really?
00:23:00Yeah.
00:23:00Mm-hmm.
00:23:01The owner saw my work
00:23:02on Instagram,
00:23:03liked it,
00:23:04and then decided to reach out.
00:23:05Crazy.
00:23:06Right?
00:23:06Honey,
00:23:07that's wonderful.
00:23:09Well,
00:23:09I think congratulations
00:23:10are in order.
00:23:14So,
00:23:15the interview
00:23:15was actually
00:23:16this afternoon,
00:23:17and I
00:23:17don't exactly
00:23:19have a ride,
00:23:20so
00:23:20I was wondering
00:23:21if one of you
00:23:22could give me a ride.
00:23:23I can take her.
00:23:27Oh,
00:23:27what?
00:23:29Afraid to
00:23:29be alone with me?
00:23:30You know,
00:23:34if you wanted
00:23:35to spend more time
00:23:35with me,
00:23:36all you had to do
00:23:37was ask.
00:23:38You offered
00:23:38to drive me.
00:23:40I just wanted
00:23:41to be there
00:23:42for my
00:23:42stepsister.
00:23:45You seem
00:23:45so desperate.
00:23:47I don't
00:23:48exactly have a car.
00:23:49I need a big
00:23:50strong man
00:23:51to drive me.
00:23:52That's not
00:23:53what I said.
00:23:57You seem
00:23:58so nervous.
00:24:01Victor
00:24:02is a world-renowned
00:24:03photographer.
00:24:04I mean,
00:24:05this might be
00:24:05my one chance.
00:24:08I really
00:24:08need this.
00:24:13Not that
00:24:14you'd understand.
00:24:15I mean,
00:24:15you've had
00:24:15everything handed
00:24:16to you
00:24:16your whole life.
00:24:17You'd be surprised.
00:24:23Thank you
00:24:23for the ride.
00:24:25What are you doing?
00:24:26opening the door
00:24:28for you?
00:24:30What a gentleman.
00:24:46Good luck.
00:24:56Why did I
00:25:01do that?
00:25:05Uh-huh.
00:25:05Mm-hmm.
00:25:07Yeah,
00:25:08that's crap.
00:25:09Shit, lady.
00:25:11Oh, Jesus.
00:25:17Oh,
00:25:17you can't save it.
00:25:23I want you
00:25:24to come work
00:25:24for me.
00:25:27Seriously?
00:25:29Yeah.
00:25:30I'd love that.
00:25:31Yeah,
00:25:32great.
00:25:32Can you, um,
00:25:34start tomorrow?
00:25:35Yeah,
00:25:36absolutely.
00:25:37I can't.
00:25:37It would...
00:25:39Um,
00:25:40I actually
00:25:42might have
00:25:43a family thing.
00:25:45You might?
00:25:46Oh,
00:25:46that's funny.
00:25:47I thought I was
00:25:47just offering you
00:25:48your dream job,
00:25:49so just let me know.
00:25:49You are.
00:25:50It is.
00:25:51It is.
00:25:52Yeah.
00:25:52I mean,
00:25:52if it's not that
00:25:52important to you,
00:25:53there are plenty
00:25:54of other people
00:25:54that would want the job.
00:25:55No, it is very important
00:25:56to me.
00:25:56Very important.
00:25:57I can make it work.
00:25:58Yeah, no.
00:25:59Good.
00:26:00You know,
00:26:00because I don't usually
00:26:00take on apprentices.
00:26:02I tend to find them
00:26:03lazy.
00:26:05I promise
00:26:06it will work
00:26:06really hard.
00:26:08Good.
00:26:08Good.
00:26:09Of course.
00:26:10Look,
00:26:11if you're going
00:26:13to work for me,
00:26:15you're going
00:26:15to do what I say.
00:26:19Whatever I say.
00:26:20Oh,
00:26:27that's not
00:26:28the correct
00:26:29spoon for that.
00:26:30Don't let me
00:26:30stop you.
00:26:35I'd be lost
00:26:36without you.
00:26:37So much of this
00:26:38is so new to me.
00:26:40It all happened
00:26:41rather suddenly,
00:26:42didn't it?
00:26:43Must feel like
00:26:44such a whirlwind
00:26:44for you and Emily.
00:26:46Emily's able
00:26:46to adapt well.
00:26:48Is she dating anyone?
00:26:50Not really.
00:26:51Why do you ask?
00:26:52Oh,
00:26:53just curious.
00:26:55Well,
00:26:55as far as I know,
00:26:56she doesn't date much.
00:26:57Her photography
00:26:58is the most important
00:26:59thing to her.
00:27:00And if anything
00:27:01got in the way of that,
00:27:02it would really upset her.
00:27:05Good to know.
00:27:07I'm sorry?
00:27:09Oh,
00:27:10um,
00:27:10nothing.
00:27:12Just
00:27:12wouldn't want to do
00:27:13anything to
00:27:14hurt her
00:27:15in that way.
00:27:16How'd it go?
00:27:20Pretty good.
00:27:21You know,
00:27:22Victor is...
00:27:24Well,
00:27:24he's...
00:27:25Victor is what?
00:27:27Victor is intense.
00:27:29I mean,
00:27:29he's the kind of man
00:27:30who thinks that
00:27:31because he's a genius
00:27:32gives him the right
00:27:33to behave
00:27:34however he wants.
00:27:36What do you mean?
00:27:37He didn't say
00:27:38or do anything
00:27:38inappropriate,
00:27:39did he?
00:27:39No,
00:27:39no,
00:27:40I think he just
00:27:41wanted to make sure
00:27:41I was serious
00:27:42about the job.
00:27:43I'm sure he gets
00:27:44a lot of fangirls
00:27:45that want to come
00:27:46and waste his time.
00:27:50Oh,
00:27:51I didn't order this.
00:27:52I did.
00:27:55I thought we could
00:27:55celebrate you
00:27:56getting the job
00:27:57by taking you
00:27:58out for a drink.
00:28:00Taking me out?
00:28:03Is this a date?
00:28:07No.
00:28:08No,
00:28:09it's not a date.
00:28:10You're my
00:28:11step-sibling.
00:28:14That would be weird.
00:28:16Right?
00:28:17Mm-hmm.
00:28:18It's not a date.
00:28:20No.
00:28:21It's just a
00:28:22platonic sit-down
00:28:23between a step-brother
00:28:24and a step-sister.
00:28:25Nothing more
00:28:26to celebrate
00:28:27you getting the job.
00:28:29So,
00:28:29how'd you know
00:28:32I would get the job?
00:28:36Uh,
00:28:37obviously you would.
00:28:38I mean,
00:28:40you're so talented.
00:28:44I mean,
00:28:44it feels really good
00:28:46to have my work
00:28:46recognized,
00:28:47you know?
00:28:47And to know that
00:28:48I got the job
00:28:49because of my skill
00:28:50and my ability,
00:28:51not because of
00:28:52anyone else.
00:28:54Right.
00:28:55I mean,
00:28:55you probably feel
00:28:56the same too,
00:28:56right?
00:28:58What do you mean?
00:28:59I mean,
00:29:00your company's
00:29:00about to go public,
00:29:01a company you built
00:29:02on your own
00:29:02without your dad's help.
00:29:03If this were a date,
00:29:07I'd be pretty impressed.
00:29:10Well,
00:29:11good thing
00:29:12it's not a date.
00:29:14Good thing.
00:29:16Yeah.
00:29:18Uh,
00:29:18besides,
00:29:19um,
00:29:21it's been a constant fight
00:29:23trying to keep
00:29:23my father away
00:29:24from my company.
00:29:25He wants to merge.
00:29:27Says it's for my own good,
00:29:28but in reality,
00:29:30he just wants
00:29:30to control everything.
00:29:32Yeah,
00:29:33I guess we both
00:29:33have parents
00:29:34that want to control
00:29:34every part of our lives.
00:29:36Yeah.
00:29:39I just gotta get
00:29:39through this IPO
00:29:40without any scandals.
00:29:42I'll be okay.
00:29:45Well,
00:29:47to no scandals.
00:29:48To no scandals.
00:29:53If we're trying
00:29:54to avoid scandal,
00:29:56do you think
00:29:56this is a little dangerous?
00:29:57I said no scandals.
00:29:59I didn't say
00:30:00no danger.
00:30:04Okay, wait,
00:30:05don't move.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:18Well,
00:30:18let me see.
00:30:23No,
00:30:23no,
00:30:24no.
00:30:26It's not digital.
00:30:27So you're gonna have
00:30:28to wait.
00:30:33This isn't a date.
00:30:35Obviously not.
00:30:38Obviously not.
00:30:39Mm-hmm.
00:30:40But if this were a date...
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:45This would be the moment
00:30:46I want to kiss you.
00:30:48And this would be
00:30:49the moment
00:30:50I'd let you.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:56Yeah.
00:30:57Oh, shit.
00:31:03Dude,
00:31:04are you on a date
00:31:05with your stepsister?
00:31:07I have to take this.
00:31:09Is everything okay?
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:11I'll just tell you
00:31:12about it at home.
00:31:14I'll get a ride share.
00:31:16Thanks.
00:31:16Are you insane going on a date
00:31:19with your stepsister?
00:31:21It's not a date.
00:31:22Uh, sure looks like one.
00:31:27Are you having me followed?
00:31:29Obviously.
00:31:30Like I said before,
00:31:31I'm protecting my investment.
00:31:33This is not a date.
00:31:35All right?
00:31:37All right.
00:31:37Look, yes,
00:31:38it may look like a date,
00:31:39but the truth is
00:31:41I don't care about
00:31:42what the truth is.
00:31:43I only care about
00:31:44what it looks like.
00:31:44Why?
00:31:45Because everyone else
00:31:46only cares about
00:31:46what it looks like.
00:31:47Perception is everything.
00:31:49I know.
00:31:50Do you?
00:31:51Because I have a photo here
00:31:52that says you have no idea.
00:31:54I'm coming over there.
00:31:56Look, you don't have to come here.
00:31:57Yes, I do.
00:31:59Because someone has to make sure
00:32:00you don't fuck your stepsister.
00:32:02And in turn,
00:32:03fuck over this company.
00:32:06Dylan.
00:32:06Oh, Emily,
00:32:10come over and lend us a hand.
00:32:12Oh, I don't know.
00:32:14Please.
00:32:14I want to hear all
00:32:15about your interview.
00:32:16Oh, well,
00:32:17it was for an apprentice
00:32:18for a pretty famous photographer.
00:32:20Oh, wow.
00:32:21When do you hear back
00:32:22about the position?
00:32:24He actually gave me
00:32:26the job on the spot.
00:32:27Really?
00:32:28Mm-hmm.
00:32:28Oh, that's wonderful.
00:32:30Yeah.
00:32:31Wow.
00:32:32So,
00:32:33that means you'll stay?
00:32:35Yeah, for a little bit.
00:32:36at least.
00:32:38Well,
00:32:39if he's so famous,
00:32:40then what's his name?
00:32:41Maybe I've heard of him.
00:32:42Victor Ward.
00:32:44Mm-hmm.
00:32:45I think I have heard of him.
00:32:48He has quite the reputation
00:32:49around here.
00:32:50Oh, yeah.
00:32:51Don't you have, like,
00:33:0510 other bathrooms in this place?
00:33:15What was that?
00:33:18Don't you have, like,
00:33:1910 other bathrooms in this place?
00:33:24We do?
00:33:26But this one has better company.
00:33:27Come here.
00:33:27Oh.
00:33:34Got a little, uh...
00:33:39W-X-Y, and you've got Zine.
00:33:50Hey, Zoe, it's me.
00:33:51Oh, it's the brother lover.
00:33:54Ugh, okay, that is gross.
00:33:56It's not my fault
00:33:57you've got the hotspire stepbrother.
00:33:59Can we talk about something else, please?
00:34:01You still haven't denied it.
00:34:02So I am calling you from my new job.
00:34:06New job?
00:34:07Hey, that's amazing.
00:34:08Yeah, it's with Victor Ward.
00:34:10He's absolutely brilliant.
00:34:12Ward?
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:14You heard of him?
00:34:15Uh, I have, actually.
00:34:17Em, listen.
00:34:18Please tell me you're not on your phone
00:34:20on your first day in my studio.
00:34:23Please tell me I'm not saying that.
00:34:24I am so sorry.
00:34:29I assumed that since I had gotten here early,
00:34:31it might be okay
00:34:32because I hadn't clocked in yet.
00:34:33Oh, oh, that's so great.
00:34:33Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
00:34:34I'm so sorry.
00:34:35I should have been thinking about your feelings.
00:34:37What was I doing?
00:34:38Okay, you know what?
00:34:39I'm going to take a little break, all right?
00:34:40Just, just, just hold on a sec.
00:34:44Have we clocked in now?
00:34:46Yeah?
00:34:46Okay, great.
00:34:47Okay, tell you what.
00:34:48Here we go.
00:34:50Now, you're going to take all these,
00:34:52you're going to organize them by date and subject, okay?
00:34:56Let that sink in.
00:34:57Do me a favor.
00:34:58Try to ease off the phone breaks, all right?
00:35:00I'll see you in a little bit.
00:35:01All right.
00:35:14Well, don't tell me that you're done already.
00:35:18Wow.
00:35:19A star for you.
00:35:22Well, then, call me a miracle worker
00:35:24because I am done.
00:35:27Oh, yeah.
00:35:31It's just one box,
00:35:34and I'm actually going to need you
00:35:36to organize all of the boxes.
00:35:40So, why don't you handle that,
00:35:44and I'm going to go to lunch, okay?
00:35:49I'll see you in a bit.
00:35:51Okay.
00:35:52Toodaloo.
00:35:59Nice work.
00:36:00I usually give new apprentices
00:36:01pretty menial tasks on their first day
00:36:05just to see if they'll stick around.
00:36:07You're best.
00:36:07Thank God.
00:36:09I really would do anything for this opportunity.
00:36:14Well, that's great to hear.
00:36:16What do you say we go out and, you know,
00:36:17discuss what else you're willing to do for me over a drink?
00:36:19Normally, that would work,
00:36:26but like I said yesterday,
00:36:28I have a family thing tonight.
00:36:30It's kind of important.
00:36:31Oh, well,
00:36:33I'm kind of important.
00:36:37Yeah, but it's my stepbrother's company's event.
00:36:40They're still finalizing all the arrangements.
00:36:42It's important I'm there.
00:36:43You understand, right?
00:36:45I mean, I know that this job is important to you.
00:36:48At least, you know,
00:36:49that's what you told me.
00:36:52You were telling me the truth, right?
00:36:55This job is important to you.
00:36:58It is,
00:36:58and I would do anything for you,
00:37:02but I've already done everything you've asked,
00:37:07and you said I've done a great job.
00:37:08True.
00:37:08I guess you just have to ask yourself,
00:37:10what else are you willing to do for it?
00:37:15Please let go.
00:37:17Just think about it.
00:37:19Why don't you clean up the rest of the stuff,
00:37:21then you can go.
00:37:26Oh, Preston.
00:37:28Victor?
00:37:31Thank you for meeting me,
00:37:34so last minute.
00:37:35Sure.
00:37:35I need to talk to you about Emily.
00:37:44Okay.
00:37:45You know,
00:37:46oh, no,
00:37:46you were right.
00:37:48Talent through the roof.
00:37:50But,
00:37:51she's been
00:37:55rather resistant
00:37:57to my creative process.
00:38:00No way.
00:38:02I don't know how.
00:38:03Listen,
00:38:05I need an assistant
00:38:07who is solely focused
00:38:09on me,
00:38:10my work,
00:38:11my studio,
00:38:12the space.
00:38:13I just...
00:38:14This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
00:38:18Okay?
00:38:19I need you to understand that.
00:38:21And, uh,
00:38:22she's just breezing through it.
00:38:23Uh,
00:38:24and I'm...
00:38:25I'm...
00:38:26I usually get what I want.
00:38:31I'll go talk to her.
00:38:34Just...
00:38:35Get her head on straight.
00:38:39You know,
00:38:39otherwise,
00:38:40her career might be over
00:38:42before it's even begun.
00:38:43So...
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:50Emily?
00:38:53What happened?
00:38:55Hey.
00:38:55Listen,
00:38:58I talked to Victor.
00:39:00He said you weren't a, quote,
00:39:02team player.
00:39:04But I know how committed you are.
00:39:06And you've worked hard for it.
00:39:09He asked me
00:39:10if I would go get drinks with him.
00:39:14And when I said no,
00:39:15he...
00:39:16He touched me and...
00:39:20I'm gonna kill that bastard.
00:39:22No, I can...
00:39:23I can handle it.
00:39:25Just quit.
00:39:26All right?
00:39:26You can get a better job.
00:39:27I can't.
00:39:29I can't.
00:39:31I mean,
00:39:32this is the closest
00:39:32I have ever come
00:39:33to becoming
00:39:34a professional photographer.
00:39:35And if I want to run
00:39:37my own studio,
00:39:38this is a really good step.
00:39:40There has to be another way.
00:39:43I mean,
00:39:43without this job,
00:39:44I might as well
00:39:44move back to L.A.
00:39:45No.
00:39:46Look,
00:39:46you don't have to do that.
00:39:48All right?
00:39:48You can keep living
00:39:49with my father
00:39:50and I'll even cover
00:39:51your living expenses.
00:39:51Absolutely not.
00:39:53No, I...
00:39:54I earned this job
00:39:55on my own.
00:39:57Okay?
00:39:57It wasn't handed to me
00:39:59and I...
00:39:59I am going to keep it
00:40:00on my terms.
00:40:03I would rather be homeless
00:40:04than live off
00:40:05for some man's money.
00:40:08Listen.
00:40:10Are you busy?
00:40:11What?
00:40:12I know we have
00:40:13to leave soon,
00:40:13but I don't know
00:40:15if I could show you
00:40:15something.
00:40:17Uh, sure.
00:40:19I'm sorry.
00:40:20I totally interrupted
00:40:20what you were going to say.
00:40:22They can wait.
00:40:24I'm pretty sure
00:40:25you're about to show me
00:40:25how talented you are.
00:40:27You have no idea.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30Preston and I
00:40:35were supposed to
00:40:35go over some things
00:40:36with the event coordinator
00:40:37for the gala.
00:40:39Do you know where he is?
00:40:40Uh, he went to
00:40:41pick up Emily from work.
00:40:43And they should have
00:40:44returned already.
00:40:46I swear that boy
00:40:47needs to be managed.
00:40:50I'll find out
00:40:51what's going on.
00:40:55He's with her.
00:40:57Are you sure?
00:40:59Then do it.
00:40:59Wow.
00:41:11You took all these?
00:41:13Sure did.
00:41:14These are so good.
00:41:18Really.
00:41:20I'm so impressed.
00:41:22Then get excited
00:41:23because I have
00:41:25an extra special
00:41:26surprise for you.
00:41:28Oh?
00:41:29for you.
00:41:34Oh.
00:41:35What did you think
00:41:36I was going to get you?
00:41:39Nothing.
00:41:40Open it.
00:41:41It's the photograph
00:41:42I took of you
00:41:43in the cafe.
00:41:46Well, yeah,
00:41:47actually, um,
00:41:49actually, uh,
00:41:51can you open it
00:41:54when I'm not here?
00:41:55I'm a little embarrassed.
00:41:57Just open it tonight.
00:41:59Whatever you want.
00:42:01I'll do it.
00:42:04Do you want to help me
00:42:05develop one?
00:42:06Sure.
00:42:09And now you're gonna
00:42:10take the tongs
00:42:12and flip it.
00:42:14Okay.
00:42:14Mm-hmm.
00:42:15And we'll flip it
00:42:17to the other side.
00:42:25And now it's ready.
00:42:28You can take it out.
00:42:30Okay.
00:42:31Mm-hmm.
00:42:32And you'll
00:42:32hang it
00:42:34right there.
00:42:34How long
00:42:39do we let it dry for?
00:42:40A bit.
00:42:41Mm-hmm.
00:42:43Dylan, what the hell
00:42:46are you doing here?
00:42:47What am I doing here?
00:42:48What are you doing here?
00:42:49You may have ruined
00:42:50Emily's photos.
00:42:51Don't give a shit
00:42:52about her pointless hobby.
00:42:53Hey!
00:42:53I'm gonna let you two
00:42:54just...
00:42:55Wait.
00:42:58Uh, Preston,
00:42:59the investors' gala
00:43:00is tomorrow night
00:43:01in case you forgot.
00:43:02Why the fuck
00:43:03are you wasting
00:43:03your time here?
00:43:05You need to get
00:43:05your priorities in order.
00:43:07I didn't forget
00:43:08and my priorities
00:43:09are just fine.
00:43:10Not from where
00:43:10I'm standing.
00:43:11Does any of this
00:43:12even matter to you
00:43:13anymore?
00:43:18Of course it matters.
00:43:20Honestly,
00:43:21it hasn't felt
00:43:21like that recently.
00:43:23Stop second-guessing
00:43:24my dedication
00:43:24to my company.
00:43:26Are you serious?
00:43:27Ever since Emily
00:43:28and her stupid mother
00:43:29showed up,
00:43:29you have lost focus.
00:43:31You leave my mother
00:43:32out of this.
00:43:33Why?
00:43:33It's the truth.
00:43:34Enough, Dylan.
00:43:36Emily and Beatrice
00:43:37have nothing to do
00:43:38with this.
00:43:38I am your best friend
00:43:39and I am not just
00:43:40gonna sit back
00:43:41and watch you ruin
00:43:42everything you built
00:43:43for some manipulative
00:43:44gold digger.
00:43:46Dylan,
00:43:47get out.
00:43:49But Preston...
00:43:49And don't you ever
00:43:50speak that way
00:43:51to my stepsister again.
00:44:01So long, Emily.
00:44:21Emily.
00:44:24Emily.
00:44:25Look, I'm so sorry.
00:44:27It's fine.
00:44:27No, it's not fine.
00:44:28I know you're not
00:44:29a gold digger.
00:44:32Were any of these
00:44:33ruined?
00:44:34No, thankfully.
00:44:36I mean, Victor
00:44:37would have more
00:44:37of a reason
00:44:38to dislike me
00:44:38if I wasted
00:44:39any of his supplies.
00:44:43Look, you don't
00:44:44have to work here.
00:44:45All right?
00:44:47Let me find you
00:44:48something else.
00:44:50Something better.
00:44:51No!
00:44:52Okay.
00:44:54I am fine.
00:44:56I don't need your help
00:44:57and if you left me alone
00:44:58you'd see that.
00:45:00And if I left you
00:45:01alone now
00:45:02how would you
00:45:04get a ride home?
00:45:06Fine.
00:45:08You can leave me alone
00:45:10after you give me a ride.
00:45:16Shut up.
00:45:18I'm still mad at you.
00:45:19I'm still mad at you.
00:45:23Thanks.
00:45:25Oh, Tim.
00:45:26Sorry.
00:45:27Sorry.
00:45:30No, I know.
00:45:31Yeah?
00:45:33Cassie stopped by.
00:45:34Yeah, I know.
00:45:35She said you blew off
00:45:36the final meeting
00:45:37with the event coordinator.
00:45:38Well, it wasn't necessary.
00:45:40All right?
00:45:40I have everything set up
00:45:41already for tomorrow.
00:45:44I'm thinking
00:45:45perhaps Emily
00:45:47has been distracting you
00:45:49from your priorities.
00:45:50I agree.
00:45:51What?
00:45:53You serious?
00:45:54I'm starting to think
00:45:55I should be taking
00:45:56a more active role
00:45:57in your company, Sam.
00:45:58It's not gonna happen.
00:46:00The gal is gonna be perfect.
00:46:01The IPO is gonna be
00:46:02a huge success.
00:46:03And you're gonna finally see
00:46:05I don't need you
00:46:05controlling every aspect
00:46:06of my life.
00:46:09Insolent boy.
00:46:11Outdated fossil.
00:46:12Listen.
00:46:20I don't care
00:46:21if you don't care
00:46:22about yourself.
00:46:23But do not
00:46:24mess this up for me.
00:46:32Ugh.
00:46:34Jeez.
00:46:35Haven't you caused
00:46:36enough drama
00:46:37for one day?
00:46:38I want you to stay
00:46:39away from Preston.
00:46:40He is mine.
00:46:43So you better
00:46:43stay out of the way.
00:46:44I don't think
00:46:45you're even a real threat.
00:46:47Then why do you
00:46:47seem so threatened?
00:46:51You don't belong here.
00:46:53It's mine
00:46:53and Preston's world.
00:46:55Everyone else here
00:46:56knows it
00:46:57and soon
00:46:57he will too.
00:46:59So maybe
00:47:00you should go back
00:47:01to where you belong
00:47:02before he has to
00:47:04kick you back
00:47:04there himself.
00:47:05I don't like
00:47:32to where you are
00:47:33Hey, Ma'am, I was wondering, do you have anything I can wear for tonight?
00:47:43I don't have anything that's suitable, and I don't want to embarrass you or Mr. Langford or Preston.
00:47:50You don't know how much it means to hear you say that.
00:47:54I know.
00:47:56I really do love you, and I only want the best for you.
00:47:59So, Mary Lawrence gives us so much more than I could ever give you.
00:48:06I know you love me.
00:48:08I have got the perfect dress for you.
00:48:16Preston, I've been thinking.
00:48:19Sounds like a pretty new experience for you.
00:48:22I don't think Emily should attend the gala tonight.
00:48:26And why is that?
00:48:27Because she's not like us?
00:48:32She's not a part of our world?
00:48:37You can see that, right?
00:48:39She's probably not going to attend anyways.
00:48:43Well, good, because you know she probably wouldn't fit in.
00:48:46Besides, it is better that you and your father keep your distance from Emily and Beatrice.
00:48:53I just want what's best for you.
00:48:59I always have.
00:49:02And once the IPO becomes a success, it'll just be you and me against the world.
00:49:10Like it was in the beginning.
00:49:12So, this is what girls from Preston's world dress like.
00:49:22I wonder if he'll like me in this.
00:49:24Wait.
00:49:25What am I doing?
00:49:29Preston's my stepbrother.
00:49:31I hope Emily attends the gala tonight.
00:49:34I should have bought her a dress.
00:49:36Or at least some jewelry.
00:49:39She doesn't need designer anything.
00:49:41She's beautiful.
00:49:43Just as she is.
00:49:44Dammit, stop.
00:49:47She's your stepsister.
00:49:50Emily, I need to talk to you.
00:49:53I know we're not supposed to feel like this.
00:49:59I don't.
00:50:04Oh, God.
00:50:07I'm so sorry.
00:50:08What is it you want to talk to me about?
00:50:15I just wanted to let you know why all of this is so important to me.
00:50:21Okay.
00:50:24My father never believed in my company.
00:50:27Or me for that matter.
00:50:29It was always my mother who encouraged me to do it all on my own
00:50:33and not be under my father's thumb my whole life.
00:50:37I get that.
00:50:38So, my company going public, as important as that is,
00:50:43it's really also about my mother's legacy.
00:50:46A way to keep her memory alive.
00:50:49Exactly.
00:50:52This could be my only chance to really do something on my own.
00:50:57Yeah.
00:50:58I understand that.
00:51:00I knew you would.
00:51:08Um, shoot.
00:51:10Can you help me with this?
00:51:12Uh, you know, I thought you wanted to do everything on your own.
00:51:34You didn't want anybody to help you with anything.
00:51:36Uh, maybe I wouldn't mind if you helped me today.
00:51:41Hmm.
00:51:43Well, it's so funny.
00:51:59What?
00:52:02It's so funny.
00:52:04Well, the last time we were this close, the zipper was going the opposite direction.
00:52:11Preston, you blushing?
00:52:14Maybe.
00:52:17Well, why don't you pretend I just have a swimsuit on under here?
00:52:22See, when I said that, I wasn't wearing anything underneath.
00:52:29Mm-hmm.
00:52:47Now it's fair.
00:52:54Yeah.
00:52:55Yeah, it is.
00:52:59I don't care.
00:53:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:23When she's distracted, do it.
00:54:34Emily, you look so beautiful in your dress.
00:54:38It almost makes me forget that when I met you, you were the help.
00:54:42When I first met you, you were a leech.
00:54:46Too bad only one of us has changed.
00:54:51Preston, I have an investor that I want you to meet.
00:54:55Be a doll and take care of my drink for me.
00:54:57You remember how to do that, right?
00:54:59Come.
00:55:07Come.
00:55:07You don't belong here.
00:55:35Excuse me?
00:55:37You heard what I said.
00:55:39It's probably better for you to just leave.
00:55:44Now.
00:55:45You see, Preston?
00:55:57He belongs in this world.
00:55:59You never will.
00:56:04No matter how many fancy dresses you wear to pretend otherwise.
00:56:09But Cassie...
00:56:12See how perfectly she fits by his side?
00:56:16You can never do that.
00:56:21So stop trying.
00:56:24You're just embarrassing yourself.
00:56:28Hey.
00:56:30You are...
00:56:32cute.
00:56:33And Preston was being really nice to you.
00:56:37Just...
00:56:38To get laid.
00:56:41I mean, he would never go out with you in public.
00:56:47Ever.
00:56:51Just think about that.
00:56:52Emily!
00:57:08Emily!
00:57:10There was a guest at the party and...
00:57:12I swear to God.
00:57:15Do not ruin this for me.
00:57:16What?
00:57:19Do not cause a scene at the gala tonight.
00:57:22Mom, I'm not causing a scene.
00:57:24I am so sick of your excuses.
00:57:26Why can't you just try to fit in?
00:57:29We need this, Emily.
00:57:32Fine.
00:57:34Fine.
00:57:35Whatever you say.
00:57:36You know, as long as it makes you feel more secure with your relationship with Mr. Langford
00:57:40and his money.
00:57:41See?
00:57:41I told you.
00:57:42Preston, please let me explain.
00:57:58Preston, I...
00:57:58Let him go.
00:57:59No, Mom, he...
00:58:01He thinks I'm after him and his father's money.
00:58:04It doesn't matter what he thinks.
00:58:06He's that important.
00:58:07As long as Lawrence and I are married, everything will be just fine.
00:58:11No, Mom, you don't...
00:58:12Hey, man, Preston, wait!
00:58:21Preston, wait.
00:58:23Ah, Preston, perfect timing.
00:58:25Let's take some family photos.
00:58:26Sure.
00:58:26No, before you do that, can we just talk?
00:58:30Okay, I need to explain...
00:58:32You don't need to explain anything.
00:58:33I get it now.
00:58:34No, you don't.
00:58:35Okay, you misunderstood.
00:58:36It doesn't matter.
00:58:40Let's talk later.
00:58:41Let's take a family photo to commemorate this wonderful night.
00:58:47It really is a wonderful night.
00:58:51Honey, do you have your camera?
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:54Oh, yeah.
00:58:57You should take the photo, Emily.
00:58:58Emily.
00:58:58Isn't this wonderful?
00:59:20Isn't this wonderful?
00:59:24Let's take some with the immediate family only.
00:59:26Oh, well, then I won't have to move, as I'll be a Langford soon.
00:59:31What do you mean, Cassie?
00:59:34Well, we didn't want to say anything with everything going on with Preston's company going public,
00:59:39but we're engaged.
00:59:42That's wonderful.
00:59:44I am so happy for you.
00:59:47Preston, is this true?
00:59:50Yes, it is true.
00:59:52We got engaged three months ago.
00:59:55But we didn't want to make any announcements until everything with the company was finalized.
00:59:59Congratulations.
01:00:00Proud of you, son.
01:00:03Thanks, Dad.
01:00:06Congratulations.
01:00:08Emily.
01:00:10Snap away.
01:00:12It's true, you know.
01:00:14They were engaged.
01:00:16Preston asked her to marry him.
01:00:19Of course, that was before he found out she was cheating on him.
01:00:21But it looks like he's finally over it.
01:00:27I guess so.
01:00:27I guess so.
01:00:51Uh, excuse me a moment.
01:01:07You're leaving now?
01:01:09You're engaged now?
01:01:11You know, no, it doesn't concern me.
01:01:18You know, I thought you were different.
01:01:20I thought you were different.
01:01:22What does that mean?
01:01:23I heard you.
01:01:24With your mother.
01:01:26What, you think I imagined that?
01:01:27No, you misunderstood what I said and then refused to listen when I tried to explain.
01:01:33Since the beginning, you've assumed I've been after your money.
01:01:36And you've been looking for every excuse to prove what you already know deep in your heart.
01:01:42That I'm not good enough for you.
01:01:45I'm not from your world.
01:01:46Yeah, I'm good for a good fun tumble with the help.
01:01:50But God forbid you were seen in public with me.
01:01:53God forbid I embarrass you.
01:01:54Are you done?
01:02:00Yes.
01:02:01I am so done with you.
01:02:07I mean, you've clearly sold your soul to the devil herself to make your business a success.
01:02:14Goodbye.
01:02:15Victor, what the hell are you doing here?
01:02:25I came to confront a thief!
01:02:29Apparently, Emily stole a very valuable ring that's supposed to be used in a photo shoot for tomorrow.
01:02:34What are you talking about?
01:02:36What ring?
01:02:37I'm not a thief.
01:02:38You can explain it to the police.
01:02:41Sure.
01:02:42Yeah, I bet they'd be very interested to know all the ways you've sexually harassed me since I started.
01:02:50You little bitch!
01:02:51All right, hey, look.
01:02:52This is not the time or the place for this.
01:02:55All right?
01:02:55Victor, if you think she stole something from you, you can talk to the police about it.
01:03:00Emily.
01:03:00No, I get it.
01:03:02Yeah, I wouldn't want to ruin your precious gala.
01:03:04But, but I am not a thief.
01:03:10I am not a gold digger, and I have never taken something I didn't earn on my own.
01:03:17If Emily never stole anything, then why don't you check her purse, Victor?
01:03:21Oh.
01:03:24Emily?
01:03:24Emily?
01:03:24Look!
01:03:37I knew you were a thief!
01:03:40Oh!
01:03:41Oh, yeah.
01:03:42No, that ring was sitting on a stool for you to photograph tomorrow, exactly where you insisted
01:03:45I put it.
01:03:46Hmm.
01:03:47Victor, I suggest you press charges.
01:03:49Hmm.
01:03:49Emily.
01:03:50Emily.
01:03:51Do you really believe I'd steal?
01:03:53Well, Emily, the ring was in your purse.
01:03:57Who am I supposed to trust?
01:03:58Well, clearly you trust Cassie, who just happened to walk in and magically know where the stolen
01:04:03ring was.
01:04:04That is a ridiculous accusation.
01:04:07Emily, I went through so much effort to arrange your dream job for you, and you risk throwing
01:04:14it all away for a piece of jewelry?
01:04:17What did you say?
01:04:19Nothing.
01:04:19I just...
01:04:20No, you said you got me that job.
01:04:23Yes, I did, but...
01:04:24You didn't believe I could do it?
01:04:27No, of course not.
01:04:28He's the one that said you want...
01:04:29No, I don't care what he said.
01:04:30You...
01:04:31You didn't believe I was good enough to get the job of my own, so you bribed someone to
01:04:36hire me.
01:04:37It's not like that.
01:04:38Yes, it is.
01:04:43Wow.
01:04:43Wow.
01:04:46This is really good to know.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:53I have had enough.
01:04:56I quit, you fucking scumbag.
01:04:59Keep whatever money Preston bribed you with.
01:05:05Congratulations on your engagement.
01:05:06Why don't you use the ring you had someone steal from Victor as your engagement ring?
01:05:11It is just as ugly and tacky as you.
01:05:15How dare you?
01:05:17What in the world's going on?
01:05:21Take your business deal and choke on it.
01:05:25You, you shameless money hunting green bastard.
01:05:33No, I...
01:05:34I can't believe I actually thought I was falling in love with you.
01:05:45Um...
01:05:46Ew, that's your stepbrother.
01:05:48Hey, I wasn't ready.
01:06:09Oh, damn.
01:06:10I look good.
01:06:11Yeah, you do.
01:06:13Well, you are a great photographer.
01:06:15No, clearly I'm not.
01:06:18Listen, I hate what that jerk face did to you.
01:06:23But...
01:06:24Just a tiny little but.
01:06:25It sounds like you really did love you.
01:06:29What?
01:06:30It's just everything he did for you to get that job.
01:06:33You mean bribing someone to hire me?
01:06:35I didn't say it was right.
01:06:37I'm just saying maybe he didn't express himself well.
01:06:41Or, in other words, maybe he was just being a guy.
01:06:44No, Preston thinks he can throw money to solve all of his problems.
01:06:47Oh, my stepsister is embarrassing.
01:06:50Let me throw money at it.
01:06:52Yeah, that really wasn't the best idea.
01:06:54I mean, it doesn't even matter.
01:06:56A company's gonna be a hit, and...
01:06:59His lifestyle article's gonna come out, and there's gonna be this perfect family there.
01:07:04And everyone gets exactly what they wanted.
01:07:08Except for you.
01:07:11Didn't you know?
01:07:13I don't count.
01:07:15Not in his world.
01:07:18Hang on.
01:07:19I never used egg.
01:07:22What?
01:07:23Did you mean this article?
01:07:24Hmm.
01:07:25New wonderkid.
01:07:26Preston Langford is about to soar to new heights.
01:07:37I...
01:07:37I took this photo.
01:07:40So...
01:07:40That is a pretty good photo.
01:07:48We're closed.
01:07:49Sorry.
01:07:50Zoe, that's...
01:07:51I know who it is.
01:07:52I was just staring at his picture.
01:07:54Can we talk?
01:07:59I guess I'll go to the back and pretend that I can't hear everything I'm listening to.
01:08:05I would have been here a lot sooner, but...
01:08:07You were hard to track down.
01:08:09Zoe had to tag you in one of her posts.
01:08:12Huh.
01:08:12How was your launch?
01:08:18Not that you care.
01:08:19No, you're right.
01:08:20I don't.
01:08:20Well, the launch went really well.
01:08:22Despite everything.
01:08:25And, uh...
01:08:26Yeah, it was a huge success.
01:08:28Landed a lot of business partners.
01:08:31Investors.
01:08:34It's good to hear.
01:08:37Your mom would be really proud of you.
01:08:39Sure of that.
01:08:42No.
01:08:43She wouldn't have been proud.
01:08:46She would have been disappointed.
01:08:49Because I wasn't honest with you.
01:08:52And I chose business over love.
01:08:57Just like my father always did.
01:09:00Anyways, I just wanted to tell you I'm really sorry.
01:09:04And I was hoping that we could maybe start over.
01:09:07When you left, what you said about Cassie knowing where the ring was in your purse, it sunk in.
01:09:17I knew you were telling the truth.
01:09:20Dylan, he's the one who stole the ring the night at the studio.
01:09:24He planted it in your purse at the party to frame you.
01:09:30Security footage proves all of that.
01:09:32So what, Victor just went back to his studio?
01:09:36I reported him to the labor board.
01:09:39And many of his assistants have spoken out against him.
01:09:43There's a lawsuit in the works.
01:09:44And they're probably going to contact you about it.
01:09:46And he's probably going to lose everything.
01:09:49Wow.
01:09:50Yeah.
01:09:52Yeah.
01:09:53I just, I couldn't let him get away with treating you like that.
01:09:59I'm just so sorry.
01:10:01I didn't act sooner.
01:10:02What happened?
01:10:07You in a fight?
01:10:09Yeah.
01:10:11Dylan was bragging about what he said to you the night at the party.
01:10:15Needless to say, he's not my business partner anymore.
01:10:17I'm sorry.
01:10:19Why?
01:10:20Because he was your friend.
01:10:23He was another my friend.
01:10:25He just saw me as a cash cow.
01:10:28Typical.
01:10:28So listen, I'm going to be in L.A. full time.
01:10:33And I'm looking for a possible investment opportunity.
01:10:38I heard there was this hotshot photographer looking for a studio space.
01:10:42Just needs a little bit of seed money to get started.
01:10:44Have you not been listening to anything I said?
01:10:47You can't buy my forgiveness.
01:10:49I'm not buying your forgiveness.
01:10:51And this is not a handout.
01:10:52It's a legitimate business opportunity.
01:10:54And I expect you to operate like a business.
01:10:57Quarterly reports.
01:10:58And me.
01:11:00Being involved in the day-to-day operations.
01:11:05What do you say?
01:11:09Okay.
01:11:11Okay.
01:11:13Zoe.
01:11:14We're celebrating.
01:11:15Bring out your best champagne.
01:11:17Sorry, did you guys call for me?
01:11:20I can't hear anything when I'm back there.
01:11:21Just bring us the good stuff.
01:11:22Okay.
01:11:22I believe in you.
01:11:40You can do anything.
01:11:42You're good enough to do anything.
01:11:44Okay.
01:11:44Aren't you guys still step-siblings?
01:11:58Yeah, about that.
01:12:00Our parents are getting a divorce.
01:12:03What?
01:12:03My dad decided he wanted out.
01:12:06He's not a very great man.
01:12:09I'm sorry.
01:12:11It's totally fine.
01:12:13Honestly, my mom's not that great either.
01:12:15Oh, what a shame.
01:12:18It was such a good couple.
01:12:19Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:12:21You were still my step-brother.
01:12:24Hmm.
01:12:25But I fell for you before that.
01:12:28So did I.
01:12:28Hmm.
01:12:29Hmm.
01:12:54I'm sorry.
01:12:55Cause I have a good one.
01:12:59Oh, my God.
01:13:00I'm sorry.
01:13:00I'm sorry.
01:13:01I'm sorry.
01:13:02I'm sorry.
01:13:02I'm sorry.
01:13:03I'm sorry.
01:13:03I'm sorry.
