00:00:00I got this. I belong here.
00:00:13How's everything? You got a plan?
00:00:15I'm in. Now, I'll find Henry Vaughn and stop him.
00:00:18He's not getting his hands on our orphanage, our home.
00:00:24Now, what does he look like?
00:00:27Mr. Vaughn, it's such a pleasure.
00:00:31I'll be back shortly.
00:00:36I can't believe we're talking to Henry Vaughn.
00:00:40His first public appearance.
00:00:42No one has ever seen him before this.
00:00:44It screams headlines.
00:00:46We need something big.
00:00:53No sign of Henry Vaughn. Where is he?
00:00:56What's happening?
00:00:57I'll leave you to the question.
00:00:58You okay?
00:00:59My hair is stuck to your shirt.
00:01:02Can you please help?
00:01:03Close now.
00:01:04Ow! Stop yanking!
00:01:05I'm not yanking.
00:01:06Be patient.
00:01:07Oh, please.
00:01:08Not so rough.
00:01:09Oh, please.

00:01:12Come on.
00:01:13Closer.
00:01:14Uh, hey.
00:01:15You may want to hear this.

00:01:18Come on.
00:01:19Be patient.

00:01:31Oh, no.
00:01:32In an elevator, that's not happening.
00:01:33Oh, no.
00:01:34I'll just do it.
00:01:35Oh, no.
00:01:36I'm so sorry.
00:01:37I'm so sorry.
00:01:40Come on.
00:01:41I've missed the board.
00:01:42I've missed the new conference.
00:01:43Is this some sort of pinkie elevator place?
00:01:45Is that how you get off your nerves for the end?
00:01:47Miss?
00:01:48How long have you been stuck to me as well, Mr. Bond?
00:01:50Oh, I'm sorry.
00:01:51I'm sorry.
00:01:52Wait.
00:01:53I'm sorry.
00:01:54Mr. Bond, I'm sorry.
00:01:55Did you even see him?
00:01:57No.
00:01:58Things got complicated.
00:02:01Oh, boss.
00:02:02I'll get to work right away.
00:02:03Oh, no, Miss Collins.
00:02:04Don't work so hard.
00:02:05You've been nonstop.
00:02:07You deserve a break.
00:02:09Am I getting fired?
00:02:11What?
00:02:12No.
00:02:13You don't need to keep hiding it anymore.
00:02:16You're Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:02:18What?
00:02:19See?
00:02:20That's all over the news.
00:02:24That's all over the news.
00:02:26Okay.
00:02:27That's a misunderstanding.
00:02:28Oh, come on.
00:02:29This photo.
00:02:30It's clearly you.
00:02:31It's totally her.
00:02:32It's totally her.
00:02:33Yes.
00:02:34It is me.
00:02:35I knew it.
00:02:36Only our Lila could lend someone like Vaughn.
00:02:39Guys.
00:02:40It's her.
00:02:42Hey.
00:02:43Maybe it's for the best.
00:02:45How so?
00:02:46We'll have leverage to negotiate with Henry Vaughn.
00:02:49He literally just said no to my face.
00:02:51He's just an arrogant shithead.
00:02:53Okay, then.
00:02:54At least we can use it to our advantage and raise money for Starlight.
00:02:58Why?
00:02:59Do you really think people will treat us differently?
00:03:01No.
00:03:02There is no way anyone would do that.
00:03:04Oh!
00:03:05I'll handle your assignments.
00:03:07Anything.
00:03:08To Mr. Vaughn's girlfriend.
00:03:09I'll get you coffee from now on.
00:03:11You can have half my project bonus.
00:03:14Lila.
00:03:15I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:03:17Effective.
00:03:18Immediately.
00:03:19What?
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:21Huh.
00:03:22I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:03:28Linda.
00:03:29We'll launch an exclusive right away.
00:03:3110 things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart, Lila Collins.
00:03:36Wait.
00:03:37Right now?
00:03:38No, Linda.
00:03:39Hold on.
00:03:40No.
00:03:41Get the car ready.
00:03:42I'm gonna settle this girlfriend nonsense.
00:03:48If I get the job, will it get to meet Henry Vaughn?
00:03:51Oh my god.
00:03:52Oh my god.
00:03:53He's such a dream.
00:03:55Next.
00:03:58What is this supposed to be?
00:04:01I think I'm way hotter than your boyfriend.
00:04:05Next.
00:04:09Next!
00:04:12Can you introduce yourself?
00:04:15How about you introduce yourself?
00:04:17You know, I don't really dig the whole single-sided interview thing.
00:04:22I think it's toxic.
00:04:23Great.
00:04:25Next.
00:04:28Miss Collins?
00:04:29You remember me?
00:04:31Uh, your voice sounds familiar?
00:04:34Yes.
00:04:35I think I've heard it somewhere before.
00:04:37Wait.
00:04:38I do know you.
00:04:42I do know you.
00:04:43Yeah.
00:04:44You look just like Robert Pattinson.
00:04:47Should I remind you what happened in the elevator a few days ago?
00:04:52Oh.
00:04:53You're one of those people obsessed with my relationship with Henry Vaughn.
00:04:57Fine.
00:04:58Fine.
00:04:59I'll give you what you came here for.
00:05:03Yes.
00:05:04Henry Vaughn is my boyfriend.
00:05:06In the elevator, he said he loved me.
00:05:08But guess what?
00:05:09I turned him down.
00:05:10He did?
00:05:11Yeah, of course.
00:05:12He begged me to accept his love, saying he'd skip the press conference if I didn't.
00:05:17Wow.
00:05:18Really?
00:05:19Absolutely.
00:05:20You know, men, they're such simple creatures.
00:05:22I gave him one kiss, and then he completely lost it.
00:05:25He wanted to sleep with me, and then, well, I said no, of course.
00:05:29And he was so heartbroken, he canceled the whole event.
00:05:33Can you imagine?
00:05:35I truly can.
00:05:36I mean, it's outrageous.
00:05:37Really.
00:05:38Oh, by the way, what's your name?
00:05:39I'm Henry.
00:05:40Oh, it doesn't matter.
00:05:41Forget it.
00:05:42You are hired.
00:05:43No, I don't want the job.
00:05:46I don't need...
00:05:51Mrs. Green's condition is getting worse?
00:05:55Mrs. Green's condition is getting worse?
00:05:59Yes, I'm on my way.
00:06:03Hey, newbie.
00:06:04You're coming with me.
00:06:09Your son is turning this family into a laughing stock.
00:06:14The deal was clear.
00:06:15Build the biggest shopping mall in the world, and then I'll make him air.
00:06:18Now look, the project's been delayed, and he's been seen cosying up with the enemy, some activist.
00:06:23It must be some misunderstanding.
00:06:25He's never let you down.
00:06:27Fix this, or I'll replace him, and you'll be out after him.
00:06:32Control your son.
00:06:35He's your son, too, you know.
00:06:37And I regret that every day.
00:06:39David?
00:06:40I need to know everything about Lila Collins.
00:06:42She's not recognised anyone since yesterday.

00:18:49a bit impractical
00:18:51i just tend to use
00:18:53this
00:18:54oh you are quite funny
00:18:58i never imagined vaughn would go for someone
00:19:01from your background
00:19:03what do you two even talk about
00:19:07well you know just
00:19:09life

00:19:15you're from completely different worlds
00:19:18of course
00:19:19of course maybe vaughn finds your
00:19:20humor or your ignorance
00:19:22entertaining
00:19:23yeah
00:19:25lucky me
00:19:25but your private affairs with vaughn are none of my concern
00:19:30and as for your business proposal

00:20:09and i'm not interested in your proposal
00:20:11what all this humiliation just because i don't know the brand of a luxury watch
00:20:15let me explain it so that you'll understand
00:20:18simple examples for someone like you

00:20:51you haven't

00:22:42a year ago
00:22:43henry vaughn discovered corruption
00:22:45in your company
00:22:46and terminated all deals with you
00:22:48leading to significant
00:22:49financial problems for your group
00:22:51but yet
00:22:54you need the banks to still believe that you're thriving

00:30:42Whoa, that was close.
00:30:59Did she even realize how dangerous that was?
00:31:02Hi, is there a Henry here?
00:31:06I really need to find my assistant.
00:31:10Does he live here or work here?
00:31:16What's going on?
00:31:18Do you know him or not?
00:31:19Did I get the wrong place?
00:31:21Hello?
00:31:22I know there is someone in there.
00:31:24Please, just open up.
00:31:25Please, I really need to...
00:31:26Henry.
00:31:39Henry.
00:31:44Henry.
00:31:45Henry.
00:31:48You're really here.
00:31:49What are you doing here?
00:31:50I got your address from HR, but...
00:31:53Wait, that's not important.
00:31:54Did you submit my proposal to Vaughn Enterprise?
00:31:58Oh, it was you!
00:32:00How do you know Vaughn Enterprise?
00:32:03So that's why you came?
00:32:05To investigate your sponsorship?
00:32:07Yes, I...
00:32:08Either way, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
00:32:11You fired me.
00:32:13Remember?
00:32:14Well, look...
00:32:16I've got things to do.
00:32:18Let's not track this out.
00:32:19I came to say thank you.
00:32:24I was out of line last time, I know that.
00:32:27But you stood up for me against Victor Rivers, and...
00:32:30Look, I...
00:32:31I wanted to shut him down, too, but...
00:32:34I've gotten so used to just...
00:32:38Handling things on my own and swallowing my pride.
00:32:43But then you showed up.
00:32:45I don't know how to say this, but, uh...
00:32:54Also, I hate owing people, and...
00:32:57And this will be nothing compared to what you did for me, but...
00:32:59I would like to buy you dinner.
00:33:03As a proper thank you.
00:33:07So what do you say?
00:33:09Dinner?
00:33:15Diala Collins.
00:33:19You may be my greatest mistake.
00:33:28Okay.
00:33:29I did say I'd treat you, but...
00:33:32One meal here might cost a lot more than my entire paycheck.
00:33:37You said I could pick the place.
00:33:39I did, but...
00:33:40Aren't you gonna answer that?
00:33:49Doesn't matter.
00:33:51I've already made my decision.
00:33:54I don't know why, but...
00:33:55Have you seen different?
00:33:57Like there is a side to you I don't know.
00:34:00Breaking news.
00:34:00Laura Vaughan has just announced the engagement of Henry Vaughan and Helen Brown,
00:34:05heirs to two of the nation's largest enterprises.
00:34:07Mrs. Vaughan, your son was just involved in a scandal.
00:34:10How was he suddenly engaged?
00:34:11And how about this room with girlfriend, Lila Collins?
00:34:13Is this a cover-up?
00:34:15I'll answer all your questions.
00:34:17First, regarding Miss Lila Collins.
00:34:20She has no romantic ties to my son.
00:34:24In fact, she is nothing but a liar.
00:34:26Clinging to Henry in a desperate attempt for attention.
00:34:30I am formally announcing Miss Lila Collins and Starlight Homes will be facing legal action.
00:34:37You were never actually engaged, Henry Vaughan, were you?
00:34:50No, I admit it.
00:34:53But it was just a misunderstanding at first.
00:34:55I never meant for it to spiral like this.
00:34:58I needed a way to save Starlight Homes and...
00:35:01And then one thing led to another and...
00:35:05Well, things got out of control.
00:35:08Laura Vaughan is suing you.
00:35:10She's labeled you as a liar.
00:35:13And soon the entire public will believe it.
00:35:17And if they think you could lie about an engagement,
00:35:19they believe you lie about anything,
00:35:23including Starlight Homes.
00:35:26But that's the truth. It's not a lie.
00:35:28It doesn't matter.
00:35:29People believe what they want to believe.
00:35:32Why are you telling me this?
00:35:34Because I'm offering you an alternative.
00:35:36What kind of alternative?
00:35:40A real engagement.
00:35:42We turn the lie into the truth.
00:35:45What?
00:35:45How did they get here so fast?
00:35:51Because I invited them.
00:35:53You did what?
00:35:54The only way to kill a rumor
00:35:56is to start another one.
00:35:59What exactly are you planning?
00:36:02Did you really think
00:36:03an ordinary assistant would live in that house?
00:36:07No luxury brands by heart
00:36:09with an inside knowledge
00:36:12of every industry?
00:36:13What are you saying?
00:36:17I told you
00:36:19I wasn't there for an interview.
00:36:21I was there for you.
00:36:25To meet someone who claimed to be
00:36:28my fiance.
00:36:32You're saying
00:36:34that you are...
00:36:37Mr. Vaughan!
00:36:38Mr. Vaughan!
00:36:40What's your statement
00:36:40on your mother's press conference?
00:36:42Is the engagement real?
00:36:44Why are you dining
00:36:44with Ryla Collins right now?
00:36:46Who exactly is your fiancΓ©?
00:36:48He is...
00:36:51Henry Vaughan!
00:36:58Mr. Vaughan, what is the statement
00:36:59on your mother?
00:37:00What is the engagement
00:37:00on your mother's press conference?
00:37:00What are you talking about?
00:37:01Who is your fiancΓ©?
00:37:02Please, everyone,
00:37:03you're disturbing me and my guests.
00:37:05I'll issue a statement soon,
00:37:06but for now,
00:37:06give us a moment.
00:37:07Mr. Vaughan,
00:37:08we need to know
00:37:09who is your mother's press conference?
00:37:10And how long have you been together?
00:37:12Are we expecting children?
00:37:13How many kids do you have?
00:37:15Mr. Vaughan!
00:37:16Mr. Vaughan, come on,
00:37:17just give an answer!
00:37:23What exactly do you want?
00:37:25I want to make a deal.
00:37:26I'll give you enough money
00:37:27to relocate Starlight Homes.
00:37:31In exchange,
00:37:32we stay engaged,
00:37:35breaking off my marriage
00:37:36with Helen Brown.
00:37:38You think money
00:37:39is what I want?
00:37:40I want Starlight Homes.
00:37:41I want them to stop
00:37:42tearing down our home.
00:37:43I know your priority
00:37:45is Mrs. Green's care,
00:37:47right?
00:37:48I can make sure
00:37:50she gets the best treatment,
00:37:53best resources.
00:37:54I'll give you enough
00:37:55to rebuild
00:37:57Starlight Homes
00:37:58somewhere else
00:37:59exactly as it is now.
00:38:01But you have to move.
00:38:02And this fake engagement?
00:38:07It's the only way
00:38:08to escape the wedding trap
00:38:09my mother has set.
00:38:11When this is all over,
00:38:13we can break off
00:38:14the engagement.
00:38:16You'll be free
00:38:16with your money,
00:38:18and you could open
00:38:20an orphanage
00:38:20anywhere in the world
00:38:21for all I care.
00:38:24So that's why
00:38:25you called the press here,
00:38:26to force me into agreeing
00:38:27I never had a real choice,
00:38:29did I?
00:38:29I don't think
00:38:32you have a choice,
00:38:34Milo.
00:38:35This is the only option.
00:38:39The great Henry Vaughn
00:38:40pretends to be
00:38:41my assistant
00:38:42and plays me
00:38:45and entertains me
00:38:46like some rich kid's game.
00:38:49What an honor.
00:38:52What do you say?
00:38:57FiancΓ©?
00:39:03Mr. Vaughn,
00:39:04Mr. Vaughn.
00:39:04Are you going to make
00:39:05a statement tonight?
00:39:06Is Helen Brown
00:39:07the third wheel
00:39:07in all of this?
00:39:08Or is Lila Collins
00:39:09the one who's interfering?
00:39:11I understand
00:39:11this has been shocking
00:39:12for everyone,
00:39:14Lila and I included.
00:39:16But what I can say
00:39:17is that I admire
00:39:18Lila Collins immensely.
00:39:20Her personality,
00:39:25her strength,
00:39:27there's something about her
00:39:28I've never seen
00:39:29in anyone before.
00:39:32As for the press conference today,
00:39:34I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:39:37I want to extend my apologies
00:39:38to Miss Helen Brown.
00:39:40However,
00:39:40there is no romantic relationship
00:39:42between us.
00:39:44We are not engaged.
00:39:45So you are engaged
00:39:46to Lila?
00:39:48Of course.
00:39:48All the rumors
00:39:50you've heard about us,
00:39:51it's true.
00:39:54Tonight's date
00:39:54speaks for itself.
00:39:57Right, Lila?
00:40:01Yes.
00:40:03Yes, that's right.
00:40:05Congratulations!
00:40:06This is incredible.
00:40:08Congrats.
00:40:10And of course,
00:40:11special thanks
00:40:13to the woman by my side.
00:40:15I hate him.
00:40:17And I hate myself.
00:40:21Because for just one
00:40:23fleeting moment,
00:40:25I wished it was real.
00:40:28Evening to you too, father.
00:40:41Don't call yourself my son
00:40:43and then humiliate this family.
00:40:46I told you
00:40:47to handle the mall project,
00:40:49shut down Starlight Homes,
00:40:50and instead,
00:40:51you're seen with an activist.
00:40:53Henry must have been blackmailed.
00:40:54And you!
00:40:56A press conference
00:40:57turned into a joke!
00:40:58My interns could handle
00:40:59PR better than you!
00:41:02I've reached an agreement
00:41:04with Lila Collins.
00:41:05She'll move Starlight Homes
00:41:06within the week.
00:41:08The mall project
00:41:08won't be on schedule.
00:41:10It'll be a month ahead of time.
00:41:11And why would she move?
00:41:14Oh, what have you promised her?
00:41:17Don't tell me
00:41:18you've agreed to marry her.
00:41:20We went through hell
00:41:21negotiating the
00:41:22Brown Family Alliance.
00:41:24That marriage won't
00:41:24stop the rumors.
00:41:26It'll make them worse.
00:41:27Times have changed.
00:41:29People don't blindly believe
00:41:30tabloid scandal anymore.
00:41:32Sooner or later,
00:41:33someone's going to find out
00:41:34that we used power
00:41:35and intimidation
00:41:36to force Starlight Homes out.
00:41:38And when that happens,
00:41:39who's going to clear our name?
00:41:40The Browns?
00:41:42They never wanted this mess
00:41:43in the first place.
00:41:44This is the only way forward.
00:41:46I promise you.
00:41:47This mall,
00:41:49I'll see it done.
00:41:58This is your last chance.
00:42:01Once it's done,
00:42:02get rid of the girl.
00:42:09Don't make me regret this.
00:42:11You might be able
00:42:20to fool your father.
00:42:22But I know my son.
00:42:25It was to protect the girl.
00:42:27Wasn't it?
00:42:33I don't know
00:42:34what you're talking about.
00:42:35What did she do to you,
00:42:38Henry?
00:42:39Do you know how long
00:42:41we fought to get here?
00:42:42You fought.
00:42:45Have you ever stopped to think
00:42:46that I never wanted any of this
00:42:48in the first place?
00:42:50The wealth,
00:42:51the power.
00:42:52Sure, you gave me all of that,
00:42:53but at what cost?
00:42:55Pretending to be something
00:42:56that we're not?
00:42:58How is that any different
00:42:59from the people
00:42:59who resented us?
00:43:01You sound like
00:43:03those useless brats
00:43:05chasing after
00:43:06some fantasy
00:43:07called freedom.
00:43:09Tell me,
00:43:10without money,
00:43:11without status,
00:43:13what do you have?
00:43:15Money.
00:43:17And when that day comes,
00:43:19the girl will be gone too.
00:43:20You again?
00:43:47You're that guy
00:43:48that came with the Vons,
00:43:49their servant, right?
00:43:51You never said
00:43:52I was a servant.
00:43:53Whatever.
00:43:55At least you're not
00:43:55that prick.
00:43:57Prick?
00:43:58Yeah.
00:43:59Henry Vaughn.
00:44:00Total nightmare.
00:44:06You've met him?
00:44:08No, not exactly,
00:44:10but I've seen him
00:44:10from a distance,
00:44:11surrounded by people,
00:44:13acting all important
00:44:14like he's royalty
00:44:15or something.
00:44:16You hate him for that?
00:44:18No.
00:44:19I hate him
00:44:20because every time
00:44:21he comes here,
00:44:22we have to spend
00:44:23days preparing.
00:44:24Mrs. Green is old
00:44:25and her health
00:44:25isn't great.
00:44:27But every time
00:44:28the Vons decide
00:44:29to use us
00:44:30as this little PR stunt,
00:44:32she has to get up,
00:44:34pose for photos
00:44:35and look presentable.
00:44:38We scrub the halls,
00:44:40we rehearse fake answers
00:44:41for reporters,
00:44:42and we have to hide
00:44:43all our old toys.
00:44:45God forbid the Vons
00:44:47see how we really live.
00:44:50They don't care about us.
00:44:52All they care about
00:44:53is looking good.
00:44:57I see.
00:44:58So, yeah.
00:45:02I hope he stops coming.
00:45:05I hope I never see
00:45:06Henry Vaughn here again.
00:45:10But at least I met you.
00:45:12What's your name, anyway?
00:45:14I have to go.
00:45:16What?
00:45:16Why?
00:45:16Will I see you again?
00:45:18No, you won't.
00:45:32We met again after all.
00:45:34Stick close.
00:45:50Breathe.
00:45:51Easy for you to say.
00:45:52Trust me.
00:45:53It wasn't easy at first.
00:45:58This is your first
00:45:59public appearance together.
00:46:00It's tonight's the day.
00:46:01Lila, how does it feel
00:46:02dating the city's
00:46:03most eligible bachelor?
00:46:05Breathe.
00:46:06Ignore everything else.
00:46:08They're staring.
00:46:09Why are they staring?
00:46:10Is something wrong
00:46:11with my trust?
00:46:11You're my fiancΓ©.
00:46:13No one will question you.
00:46:16Mr Vaughn, does this mean
00:46:18that the family...
00:46:18Lila!
00:46:25Mr Vaughn, does this mean
00:46:26that the family...
00:46:26Lila!
00:46:33Have we met before?
00:46:42Why do you ask?
00:46:45You seem...
00:46:46familiar.
00:46:48You have been to
00:46:48Starlight Homes before.
00:46:50We must have met there.
00:46:52No.
00:46:54Trust me, if I'd met
00:46:55someone this loud before,
00:46:56I probably would have
00:46:57remembered.
00:46:57Uh, excuse me.
00:47:00If I'd met you before,
00:47:01I would have remembered too.
00:47:03Prick.
00:47:06Why are you laughing?
00:47:07Well, if it isn't my former
00:47:26fiancΓ© and his charity case.
00:47:28She's my guest tonight, Heddle.
00:47:34Oh, I'm joking.
00:47:36What, no warm welcome?
00:47:38We haven't seen each other
00:47:39for five years.
00:47:40We were never that close.
00:47:44Ouch.
00:47:45You've gotten meaner.
00:47:48Do you remember high school?
00:47:51Everyone used to call you
00:47:52the bastard's son.
00:47:54I was the only one
00:47:55shutting them off.
00:47:55Thanks for reminding me.
00:47:56Don't get me wrong.
00:47:57I mean, your background's messy.
00:48:01But men like your father,
00:48:02they do have plenty of affairs.
00:48:04Your mother being a nurse
00:48:05is not exactly shocking.
00:48:13Oh, you didn't know.
00:48:16Henry wasn't even raised
00:48:17in the Vaughn mansion at first.
00:48:19There was a time
00:48:19that he was kicked out.
00:48:21That's enough, Helen.
00:48:25Why are you here?
00:48:26I'm just curious.
00:48:29I want to see what's really
00:48:30going on between you two
00:48:31lovebirds.
00:48:32And what do you see?
00:48:34Exactly what I assumed.
00:48:38A fake engagement.
00:48:39You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:48:47Honey, I haven't gotten started.
00:48:49But if you two want to continue
00:48:51your little pretend game,
00:48:53I'm happy to play along.
00:48:54We need to talk.
00:48:55You just left me standing there.
00:49:18What am I?
00:49:19A damn prop?
00:49:20She practically
00:49:23pulled herself down.
00:49:27Aw, did I hurt your feelings?
00:49:31I'm just leaving.
00:49:33Wait.
00:49:35I like you,
00:49:36so I'm going to give you
00:49:37a little friendly warning.
00:49:39Stay away from him.
00:49:41He's mine.
00:49:42He's mine.
00:49:47Maybe you should tell him that.
00:49:48He's the one who called
00:49:49off your engagement.
00:49:51He said he was feeling trapped.
00:49:53Can you imagine?
00:49:54Someone like us
00:49:55feeling something like that?
00:49:57God thinks he's living
00:49:58this experience tragedy.
00:50:00What exactly are you
00:50:01trying to say?
00:50:02That we understand each other.
00:50:04when Henry struggled
00:50:07to fit in,
00:50:08I was the one who helped him.
00:50:10I was the one
00:50:10who brought him
00:50:11into our circle.
00:50:13Without me,
00:50:14he would be no more
00:50:15than an illegitimate shadow.
00:50:16Are you saying
00:50:17he needs you?
00:50:18No.
00:50:19I'm saying I made him.
00:50:21And now,
00:50:21just because of you,
00:50:23he's ready to throw
00:50:23it all away.
00:50:24That's not happening.
00:50:26Let me fill you in.
00:50:28Henry promised his father
00:50:29that the second
00:50:30Starlight Home
00:50:30would be gone.
00:50:32So would you.
00:50:33I don't care.
00:50:34Really?
00:50:37Why don't you
00:50:38hear for yourself?
00:50:46We used power
00:50:47and intimidation
00:50:49to force Starlight Homes out.
00:50:50This is the only way forward.
00:50:52I promise you.
00:50:54This mall,
00:50:55I'll see it done.
00:50:55You take the bedroom,
00:51:05I'll take the couch.
00:51:07Do we really need
00:51:07to live together?
00:51:09Why did you rent
00:51:09an apartment
00:51:10just for this?
00:51:12This may be
00:51:13a fake engagement,
00:51:15but it needs
00:51:15to be convincing.
00:51:18You want a place
00:51:18just for us.
00:51:21Go on,
00:51:21invite your guests.
00:51:22You wouldn't want
00:51:25someone like me
00:51:26stepping foot
00:51:26in the Vaughn mansion.
00:51:28That's not what I meant.
00:51:29Lila,
00:51:30why do you always
00:51:32assume the worst?
00:51:36Get some rest.
00:51:36Why do rich people
00:51:45always put things
00:51:46so high?
00:51:48Try not to break it.
00:51:51It's expensive.
00:51:51I suppose that shelf
00:51:55would be a challenge
00:51:56for a short-legged corgi.
00:51:58I'm not.
00:52:00I'm not a corgi.
00:52:05Henry,
00:52:06can I ask you something?
00:52:10And can you promise me
00:52:12you won't lie to me?
00:52:18Can you promise me
00:52:20you won't lie to me?
00:52:21Depends on what you ask.
00:52:25Right.
00:52:26Of course.
00:52:29You made this
00:52:30engagement deal
00:52:30for Starlight Homes,
00:52:32right?
00:52:34A so-called
00:52:36win-win.
00:52:39Was it all just
00:52:40a new PR strategy
00:52:41for Vaughn Enterprise?
00:52:48Answer me.
00:52:49I already told you.
00:52:53You get what you want
00:52:54and I get what I want.
00:52:56But what do you want, Henry?
00:52:58I don't get you.
00:53:00You could have
00:53:00thrown me out,
00:53:01but you didn't.
00:53:02You met Mrs. Green.
00:53:04You knew exactly
00:53:05what would break me,
00:53:06but you never,
00:53:07ever used it.
00:53:09You could have
00:53:11labeled me a liar.
00:53:14To paint me
00:53:15as the woman
00:53:16who came in between
00:53:17you and Helen.
00:53:18But you didn't.
00:53:21Why?
00:53:22Was it all
00:53:23just a way
00:53:24to make sure
00:53:25I willingly
00:53:26move Starlight Homes?
00:53:27To fake an engagement?
00:53:28Was it worth it?
00:53:34Henry Vaughn,
00:53:35why are you
00:53:37helping me?
00:53:42I made my terms clear.
00:53:45You need to move
00:53:46Starlight Homes
00:53:46within a week.
00:53:47No, that's not
00:53:48an answer.
00:53:54All my life,
00:53:56I've been pretending
00:53:59to be someone
00:53:59I'm not.
00:54:03My mother went
00:54:04through hell
00:54:06because of
00:54:06where she came from.
00:54:09She always said
00:54:10she didn't want me
00:54:10to suffer like she did,
00:54:12so I did
00:54:14what was expected.
00:54:16I pushed.
00:54:17I fought.
00:54:20I became
00:54:20the perfect heir.
00:54:25The one who deserved
00:54:26to lead the Vaughn family.
00:54:31But I'm not them.
00:54:35I never was.
00:54:37I know that.
00:54:41Everything you said,
00:54:44using Mrs. Green
00:54:45to threaten you,
00:54:46forcing you all out
00:54:48with that warning,
00:54:49I did consider it.
00:54:51Myla,
00:54:51I'm not a saint.
00:54:54The thought crossed my mind
00:54:56more than once.
00:54:59But you didn't.
00:55:00look, I don't want to talk
00:55:04about us like this,
00:55:05not while everything's
00:55:06still a mess.
00:55:08But what I said
00:55:09about you,
00:55:12that I admire
00:55:13your resilience,
00:55:16that you got to me,
00:55:18none of that
00:55:20was a lie.
00:55:21I think...
00:55:25I, I think...
00:55:27I think...
00:55:28Henry Vaughn.
00:55:58Don't betray my trust.
00:56:28It's just a call to my fiancΓ©e.
00:56:39It's not too much.
00:56:42Right?
00:56:42Oh, you picked up.
00:56:55Uh, I figured you left early this morning, so I was just checking if everything's okay?
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06Oh, okay, well, I'm just about to head out, so I...
00:57:09Myla, I'm really sorry, but can we talk later?
00:57:13Uh, yeah.
00:57:15Sure.
00:57:16Don't overthink it.
00:57:17My mother, she's in the hospital.
00:57:19What?
00:57:20What happened?
00:57:22Are you okay?
00:57:23I'm fine.
00:57:24Don't worry.
00:57:25I'll call you back soon, okay?
00:57:28Okay.
00:57:28What the hell happened?
00:57:34Lila, Mrs. Green is missing.
00:57:50What happened?
00:57:51Yesterday, someone came claiming that Starlight Holmes was moving and that they wanted to
00:57:55take her on one last visit.
00:57:56We refused, but then last night, she was taken from a ward.
00:58:01How can that happen?
00:58:02I'm so sorry, Lila.
00:58:04All the security footage was erased.
00:58:07Who would want to discharge her early?
00:58:10He said he was here on behalf of your fiancΓ©e, Henry Vaughn.
00:58:14Miss Collins, a word, please.
00:58:17We need to talk.
00:58:21Do you work for Henry or Vaughn Enterprise?
00:58:23Does it matter?
00:58:25They're the same.
00:58:26Not to me.
00:58:27I see what he meant.
00:58:28You're special.
00:58:30But special is never what this family needs.
00:58:32What do you want from me?
00:58:34Easy.
00:58:35Walk away now, and we'll make sure Mrs. Green gets the care that she needs.
00:58:41If you had this much power, you could make me disappear without a second thought.
00:58:46Why bother making me a deal?
00:58:49Consider Henry's last kindness to you.
00:58:52This isn't Henry's idea.
00:58:54You can't fool me.
00:58:56Isn't it, though?
00:58:58Lila, you don't know him.
00:59:00No, I know enough.
00:59:02Then ask him.
00:59:04Go.
00:59:05Find him.
00:59:06Confront him.
00:59:08Right now, you don't see it.
00:59:11But he's a part of this family.
00:59:13He's a Vaughn.
00:59:15And there's nothing that you can do about it.
00:59:25This is Henry Vaughn.
00:59:27Leave a message, and I'll get back to you.
00:59:30It's fine.
00:59:32He's just busy.
00:59:38Henry.
00:59:39Henry.
00:59:41The number you have dialed is busy now.
00:59:53No.
00:59:56No.
00:59:58Henry Vaughn.
00:59:59Was this all a game to you?
01:00:03Yes, Doctor.
01:00:04I want the transfer arranged as soon as possible.
01:00:06Well, that's great.
01:00:09I'll coordinate with her guardian.
01:00:11Sir, Mrs. Green has gone missing.
01:00:15What?
01:00:15Someone has taken her from the hospital.
01:00:17Find out who?
01:00:18No need.
01:00:22I just saved your career.
01:00:23And secured your place within this family.
01:00:26You're welcome.
01:00:27What did you do?
01:00:28Well, you were going to get rid of that girl eventually.
01:00:30I simply sped things up.
01:00:31You threatened her?
01:00:32Oh, don't be so dramatic.
01:00:35I arranged for Mrs. Green to receive top-tier medical care.
01:00:39And the only condition?
01:00:40Lila walks away from you.
01:00:42How long do you plan to control my life?
01:00:52Wake up, Henry.
01:00:54You were not just yourself.
01:00:56You were Richard Vaughn's son.
01:00:58My son.
01:00:59And the heir to this family.
01:01:02You still not figured that out?
01:01:03What did I ever get a say in any of this?
01:01:08Get back here!
01:01:11Mrs. Vaughn!
01:01:12Mrs. Vaughn!
01:01:24You okay?
01:01:27What are you doing here?
01:01:29Well, considering it's my family's hospital, did you really think I wouldn't show?
01:01:32I said it was an exhaustion.
01:01:37This isn't your fault.
01:01:39You've done everything that she's ever expected of you.
01:01:42Don't blame yourself.
01:01:44I'm not blaming myself.
01:01:48I just don't know when it became so hard to be around her.
01:01:54I checked with the doctors.
01:01:56They said that she'd wake soon.
01:02:00Everything's going to be fine.
01:02:02And really, you couldn't have picked a better hospital.
01:02:13Speaking of which, I have a little update on your fiancΓ©'s family situation.
01:02:19You mean Mrs. Graham?
01:02:22JHU's doing a new study on VR assistant memory recovery.
01:02:26They're willing to fast track her treatment.
01:02:30That's great.
01:02:30Thank you, Helen.
01:02:35No need to thank me.
01:02:37We're friends, aren't we?
01:02:37If you really want to thank me.
01:02:53See?
01:02:54Catching up with me isn't so bad, is it?
01:02:56Today hasn't been the worst.
01:02:59You didn't remember that we're still friends, right?
01:03:01Even though our engagement's off.
01:03:05Now they're on the topic of it.
01:03:08I do have to ask.
01:03:10Are you sure you don't want to marry me?
01:03:14A union between our families.
01:03:15We could withstand anything.
01:03:16Helen, I'm serious about Lila.
01:03:19I haven't told her yet.
01:03:24But I love her.
01:03:29Wow.
01:03:32I don't think I've ever heard you use that word before.
01:03:35And neither have I.
01:03:39Until now.
01:03:39Come on.
01:03:52Just one meal.
01:03:54Can I have my friends full attention for just once?
01:03:56No, just be one second.
01:03:57Just wait until I explain about Mrs. Green's treatment.
01:04:01Then you can give her all the details at once.
01:04:04Wouldn't that be better?
01:04:08Fine.
01:04:21So the study is still in early works.
01:04:24But if you want her to have a shot,
01:04:25then she should be transferred as soon as possible.
01:04:27I see.
01:04:29I'll talk to Lila.
01:04:31Thank you, Helen.
01:04:38I like her, you know.
01:04:39She's, um...
01:04:40different.
01:04:44Cute.
01:04:51I need to take this.
01:04:53Lila wouldn't keep calling unless it's urgent.
01:04:55I just thought of something.
01:04:56How about we both go to the hospital together
01:04:59and we'll tell her the news in person.
01:05:08Helen.
01:05:10What are you doing?
01:05:12You've been trying to distract me since we sat down.
01:05:15What exactly are you planning?
01:05:17I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:21You're stalling.
01:05:22Why?
01:05:23Anyway, I swear, I...
01:05:24I'm warning you.
01:05:26Tell me now.
01:05:28Tell me now.
01:05:28What did you do to Lila?
01:05:40Nothing.
01:05:42You better be telling the truth.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:48You never even saw me.
01:05:50I should never have trusted him.
01:06:04Don't go, Lila.
01:06:09Liar.
01:06:10Don't touch me.
01:06:12Lila, I didn't lie to you.
01:06:14Go have dinner with your real fiancΓ©.
01:06:16Goodbye.
01:06:17You saw us?
01:06:18Oh, so you're finally admitting it.
01:06:21Great.
01:06:21Just fantastic.
01:06:23Mrs. Green is missing and you're out having some romantic meal with Helen.
01:06:27What did you just say?
01:06:28Mrs. Green is missing?
01:06:29Yes, genius.
01:06:30David had her taken.
01:06:32He said you ordered it, but I'm not stupid.
01:06:34I know that you would never do something so pointless.
01:06:36That's my mother.
01:06:37Mother.
01:06:38She must have planned this with Helen.
01:06:39No wonder she was pushing the treatment conversation.
01:06:41Oh, you know what?
01:06:42It doesn't matter anymore.
01:06:44If you want me gone, just say it.
01:06:47Okay?
01:06:48I will make it easy for you.
01:06:50You can have your happily ever after.
01:06:51My happily ever after is only with you.
01:06:56Just stop lying, please.
01:06:58You're using me.
01:07:00And you said you were at the hospital with Laura, but you weren't.
01:07:03And then you hung up on me and...
01:07:11Let go!
01:07:13Just listen to me, please.
01:07:16Okay?
01:07:17My mother did collapse earlier.
01:07:20I took her to the hospital.
01:07:22She's stable now.
01:07:24Helen only showed up because it was her family's hospital.
01:07:28She came to find me.
01:07:30I didn't know anything about Mrs. Green being taken.
01:07:33Okay?
01:07:33I swear.
01:07:34I already suspected David was reporting my movements to my family, so I had someone tail him.
01:07:39You...
01:07:40You did?
01:07:41Yeah.
01:07:42We'll find Mrs. Green.
01:07:44Soon.
01:07:45I promise you, Lila, nobody is going to hurt your family.
01:07:49What about lunch?
01:07:52Helen told me about this new treatment.
01:07:55One that could help Mrs. Green recover her memory.
01:07:58I was relieved.
01:08:00Okay?
01:08:00That's all we talked about.
01:08:02She set me up.
01:08:05Lila, she knew you'd see us.
01:08:07She knew you'd call.
01:08:09And I'm betting she had David tip her off to your whereabouts just to make you doubt me.
01:08:14Lila, can you forgive me?
01:08:23Now's not the time.
01:08:26You're right.
01:08:27When this is all over, we'll have plenty of time to talk about us.
01:08:39Come on.
01:08:40I know where Mrs. Green is.
01:08:43Let's go take her home.
01:08:44How...
01:08:45How...
01:08:53How did she get here?
01:08:56David moved her to a different hospital.
01:08:59But she must have found her way back here.
01:09:03He remembers this place?
01:09:05Yes, Lila.
01:09:06Maybe she remembers more than we think.
01:09:08And if we give her enough time, maybe she'll remember everything.
01:09:29You've come to tell me your decision, haven't you?
01:09:32You always said you know me.
01:09:38You should already know my decision.
01:09:41You're going to ruin everything.
01:09:43No.
01:09:45Everything's saved because of her.
01:09:47What about the mall project?
01:09:53Have you thought about that?
01:09:54We're still building the biggest shopping center in the world.
01:09:59But it will be unlike any other.
01:10:02There will be a park inside.
01:10:03And at its heart, the best orphanage in the world.
01:10:07You're keeping Starlight Hose?
01:10:09Because it belongs there.
01:10:10I'm not tearing it down.
01:10:13I'm making it better.
01:10:15We'll rebuild it into something brighter.
01:10:18Something real.
01:10:20And what about your father?
01:10:22He won't stand for this.
01:10:24He wasn't happy at first.
01:10:26Then he saw the stock price.
01:10:30I used to think that love meant obeying you.
01:10:36Meeting every expectation you set.
01:10:38But love isn't about becoming what someone else wants you to be.
01:10:45It's about accepting who you really are.
01:10:49I hope that one day you'll love me that way too.
01:10:56I hope that one day you'll love me.
01:11:26Is that why you feel so familiar?
01:11:31And?
01:11:33I used to hate it when the balloons came to Starlight Hose.
01:11:37But one day, that changed.
01:11:39Why?
01:11:40Because I met a very handsome, very quiet, very kind boy.
01:11:51How handsome.
01:11:56I'm sorry it took me so long to recognize you.
01:12:00You're forgiven.
01:12:02I love you.
01:12:03I've got a little bit.
01:12:23I've got a little bit.
01:12:25I've drifted waiting for you.
01:12:28I see it sometimes behind those kind eyes.
01:12:37I'm in a different outfit.
01:12:42I'm sorry.
01:12:46I'll be right back.
01:12:52Take my heart with hope for your hands.
01:12:56I've been spending all my days.
01:12:59Yes.
01:13:05Great.
01:13:07Amazing.
