Transcript
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.
00:00:30I'll be back shortly.
00:00:36I can't believe we're talking to Henry Vaughn. His first public appearance.
00:00:42No one has ever seen him before this. It screams headlines.
00:00:46We need something big.
00:00:53No sign of Henry Vaughn. Where is he?
00:00:56No sign of Henry Vaughn.
00:01:00Vaughn, what's happening?
00:01:02I'll probably use a glitch. You okay?
00:01:04My hair is stuck to your shirt. Can you please help?
00:01:07Close now.
00:01:08Ow! Stop yanking!
00:01:10I'm not yanking. Be patient.
00:01:11Oh, please. Not so rough.
00:01:14Please, just be slow. Come on. Come on, closer.
00:01:16Uh, hey. You may want to hear this.
00:01:22You're so slow. Come on. Be patient.
00:01:24Oh, just take off your shirt.
00:01:26Oh, we're gonna lie.
00:01:27No!
00:01:30Oh, just take off your shirt.
00:01:31Oh, no. In an elevator, that's not happening.
00:01:33Oh, well, I'll just do it.
00:01:37I'm so sorry.
00:01:39Look up! I missed the ball! I'm going to call you a conference!
00:01:42Is this some sort of ginky elevator, Blake?
00:01:45Is that how you get off your nerves for the evidence?
00:01:48Yes, how many have you been saying your father, Mr. Vaughn?
00:01:51Wait!
00:01:54Did you even see him?
00:01:57No, things got complicated.
00:02:01Boss, I'll get to work right away.
00:02:03Oh, no, Miss Collins. Don't work so hard.
00:02:06You've been nonstop. You deserve a break.
00:02:09Am I getting fired?
00:02:11What? No.
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, that's a misunderstanding.
00:02:27Oh, come on.
00:02:28This photo, it's clearly you.
00:02:31It's totally her.
00:02:32Yes.
00:02:34It is me.
00:02:34I knew it.
00:02:36Only our Lila could lend someone like Vaughn.
00:02:39Guys, it's her.
00:02:42Hey, maybe 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.
00:02:52Okay, then at least we can use it to our advantage and raise money for Starlight.
00:02:58What?
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, I'll handle your assignments.
00:03:07Anything.
00:03:08For 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, I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:03:17Effective immediately.
00:03:18I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:03:28We'll launch an exclusive right away.
00:03:31Ten things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart, Lila Collins.
00:03:35Wait, right now?
00:03:37No, Linder, hold on, no.
00:03:40Get the car ready.
00:03:41I'm going to settle this girlfriend nonsense.
00:03:48If I get the job, will I 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.
00:03:55Uh, what is this supposed to be?
00:04:01I think I'm way hotter than your boyfriend.
00:04:05Next.
00:04:08Next.
00:04:11Uh, can you introduce yourself?
00:04:15How about you introduce yourself?
00:04:16You know, I don't really dig the whole, like, single-sided interview thing.
00:04:22I think it's toxic.
00:04:23Great.
00:04:25Next.
00:04:28Miss Collins, you remember me?
00:04:32Uh, your voice sounds familiar?
00:04:35Yes, I think I've heard it somewhere before.
00:04:37Wait, I do know you.
00:04:42I do know you.
00:04:43Yeah.
00:04:43You look just like Robert Pattinson.
00:04:49Should 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.
00:05:03Henry 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.
00:05:09He did?
00:05:10Yeah, of course.
00:05:11He begged me to accept his love, saying he'd skip the press conference if I didn't.
00:05:17Wow.
00:05:17Really?
00:05:18Absolutely.
00:05:19You know, men, they're such simple creatures.
00:05:22I gave him one kiss.
00:05:23And then he completely lost it.
00:05:25He wanted to sleep with me.
00:05:26And then, well, I said no, of course.
00:05:29He was so heartbroken, he canceled the whole event.
00:05:33Can you imagine?
00:05:35I truly can't.
00:05:36I mean, it's outrageous.
00:05:38Really.
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.
00:05:44No, I don't want the job.
00:05:45I don't need...
00:05:48Mrs. 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.
00:06:05Your son is turning this family into a laughingstock.
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.
00:06:19The project's been delayed, and he's been seen cozying up with the enemy.
00:06:22Some activist.
00:06:23It must be some misunderstanding.
00:06:26He's never let you down.
00:06:28Fix this, or I'll replace him.
00:06:30And you'll be out after him.
00:06:32Control your son.
00:06:37He's your son, too, you know.
00:06:40And I regret that every day.
00:06:52David?
00:06:52David?
00:06:54I need to know everything about Lila Collins.
00:07:02She's not recognized anyone since yesterday.
00:07:09Mrs. Green?
00:07:11Do you know who I am?
00:07:14Mom?
00:07:17It's okay.
00:07:19It's okay.
00:07:22I...
00:07:23I'm not my mom.
00:07:25No.
00:07:26But to me, you're just like a mother.
00:07:31And I'll save our home.
00:07:37Hey, newbie.
00:07:40Thanks for today.
00:07:42Just give me a sec.
00:07:43I'll go solve the payment.
00:07:44So heart-breaking.
00:07:47Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:07:49Of course.
00:07:49It's getting demolished next month.
00:07:52Poor Lila.
00:07:52What's she going to do?
00:07:53Right?
00:07:54Mrs. Green only shows brief moments of clarity when she visits that place.
00:07:58Once it's gone, she might never remember anything again.
00:08:01Such a shame.
00:08:02She's been taking care of Mrs. Green for ten years.
00:08:05And just like that, it's all disappearing.
00:08:07And for what?
00:08:08Just another massive shopping mall.
00:08:10Just wiping it out like that.
00:08:11And this one, who's that for?
00:08:31This is for Sherry.
00:08:33She loves lavender.
00:08:36This one?
00:08:37What about this one?
00:08:38Lily.
00:08:39Of course.
00:08:40She just loves yellow.
00:09:03I'll see you next time.
00:09:05And the sweaters will be ready.
00:09:06She's really sweet.
00:09:12Thanks for coming with me today, newbie.
00:09:15I didn't really have a choice.
00:09:17You dragged me here.
00:09:18Wow.
00:09:19Still, thanks for not leaving.
00:09:23So, uh, Mrs. Green's the reason you won't leave Starlight Homes.
00:09:31I mean, you saved up all that money and you still won't move?
00:09:35Well, I haven't saved enough yet.
00:09:37And I haven't figured out what to do with Mrs. Green.
00:09:42The Vaughn Enterprise gave me an ultimatum.
00:09:44They have to be out next month.
00:09:46So, I guess that's it.
00:09:49What are you going to do?
00:09:50Whatever it takes.
00:09:52I'll sell everything I can if I have to.
00:09:54No matter what, I am protecting my home and my family.
00:09:58You said you were engaged with Henry Vaughn, right?
00:10:02I mean, he's rich enough to handle this without a second thought.
00:10:05Why didn't you ask him?
00:10:07You know why.
00:10:11It's a lie.
00:10:14You know why.
00:10:16It's a lie.
00:10:17Ready to tell the truth?
00:10:19Yes.
00:10:21The truth is...
00:10:26Henry Vaughn is a stingy bastard.
00:10:29What?
00:10:29He's just one of those rich kids.
00:10:31You know, he's selfish and cold and he's completely indifferent to someone like us.
00:10:37He would never help the orphanage.
00:10:41Are you sure about that?
00:10:43Yes.
00:10:44That's why I turned him down.
00:10:45But he's so obsessed with me, he wouldn't let you go.
00:10:50Wow.
00:10:52If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have to sell this necklace.
00:10:58Mrs. Green gave it to me on my 18th birthday.
00:11:01It means a lot to you.
00:11:03Yes.
00:11:06But then so does Mrs. Green and Starlight Hopes.
00:11:12They were all I had growing up.
00:11:15I'll do anything I can to protect them.
00:11:18But that bastard Henry Vaughn, he better pray I don't catch him.
00:11:21Oh no.
00:11:33Mr. Vaughn!
00:11:34Wait.
00:11:35Did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:11:36What did he just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:11:55Careful.
00:11:55Noobie, what are you doing?
00:12:13I was just about to ask you the same thing.
00:12:18You're still glued to your phone.
00:12:20You should be more careful.
00:12:21So, you were protecting me?
00:12:27Let's just say I didn't want my boss getting hurt on my first day.
00:12:31Huh.
00:12:31I knew it.
00:12:33You are the most responsible, detail-oriented assistant ever.
00:12:37Stick with me.
00:12:38Make sure you get promoted.
00:12:41Wait!
00:12:42From now on, whatever I have, I'll share it with you.
00:12:49I don't like chocolate.
00:12:51Nonsense.
00:12:53Everybody likes chocolate.
00:12:55Lila Collins.
00:13:08You've met before.
00:13:16Lila Collins.
00:13:19You've met before.
00:13:21Not to be nosy, but you're really bad at this.
00:13:32It's none of your business.
00:13:35Who even are you?
00:13:37Same as everybody else here.
00:13:38I'm an orphan.
00:13:40They take kids your age?
00:13:41No, I've been here since I was two, but
00:13:43I guess I was never good enough to get adopted.
00:13:47Oh, sorry.
00:13:48No, don't be.
00:13:49Hey, this place is my home.
00:13:51I wouldn't trade it for anything.
00:13:53Oh, what about you?
00:13:54Why are you here?
00:13:55There's an event.
00:13:58Oh.
00:14:00You're with the Vaughn family?
00:14:04Volunteering, giving back to the community, right?
00:14:07Why'd you say it like that?
00:14:09You know why.
00:14:10Rich people don't do charity unless PR and cameras are involved.
00:14:14But you seem different.
00:14:21A little plumsier, a bit less polished.
00:14:24You're not one of them, are you?
00:14:26Do I not look like one?
00:14:27No.
00:14:29You seem, I don't know, a little more human.
00:14:36Here, give me your hand.
00:14:37Come on.
00:14:42This is for you.
00:14:45I don't like chocolate.
00:14:46Nonsense.
00:14:47Everybody likes chocolate.
00:14:50You have let your father down.
00:15:08Let me guess.
00:15:08You're here about the rumor?
00:15:10You mean the scandal?
00:15:12Your father is furious.
00:15:14He's already talking about replacing you.
00:15:16Shocking.
00:15:17He's only been threatening that for the past 25 years.
00:15:19Henry, I didn't claw my way up the social ladder just to be thrown out of the Vaughn family.
00:15:24You've made that clear for the past 25 years as well.
00:15:28This isn't a joke.
00:15:29Did you forget how they treat us like trash?
00:15:32Just because I was his nurse when I gave birth to you.
00:15:37It's a misunderstanding.
00:15:41It doesn't concern you.
00:15:44Good.
00:15:44Then fix it.
00:15:47Get rid of her.
00:15:48And Starlight Homes.
00:15:49The deal was clear.
00:15:52Build the biggest shopping mall in the world, and you'll be heir.
00:15:56We've been outcasts for too long, Henry.
00:16:00But you are his son.
00:16:03Prove it.
00:16:04You're late.
00:16:28I need to talk to you.
00:16:29Wait, I have to tell you something first.
00:16:31Mr. Riffiz is coming.
00:16:33He is a huge client, and he's having a meeting with me here.
00:16:36Victor Rivers?
00:16:38Since when is he important?
00:16:40Well, he's agreed to read my project proposal.
00:16:42Listen, I'm not playing this assistant game with you.
00:16:44Hey, I get it.
00:16:45I know this job isn't ideal, but please just help me land this deal.
00:16:48Look, I can't save Starlight Homes, but if I get this money, I can help Mrs. Green move everybody out.
00:16:56And you saw her.
00:16:58You know how much she needs this money.
00:17:00Please just help me land this deal.
00:17:01I have one condition.
00:17:07Condition?
00:17:09If you get the money, you leave Starlight Homes.
00:17:16Take the money, forget about the orphanage, just go somewhere else and start over.
00:17:22Why do you care?
00:17:25Lila Collins.
00:17:26Oh, Mr. Rivers, it is a pleasure to meet you.
00:17:32Pleasure.
00:17:43This is my assistant.
00:17:45I'm not your assistant.
00:17:46Sorry.
00:17:48He's a new hire.
00:17:49Has anyone ever told you you look like someone?
00:17:54Oh, yes.
00:17:55Vaughn.
00:17:56Oh, yes, it's Vaughn.
00:18:02Henry Vaughn.
00:18:03Robert Pattinson?
00:18:06Lila said I look like him, but I think I'm better looking.
00:18:11Sorry, he's just joking.
00:18:13Please, take a seat.
00:18:21This is my project proposal.
00:18:23Please feel free to ask any questions.
00:18:25Oh, well.
00:18:28As you're, um, Miss Collins, Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, I'll be straightforward.
00:18:33I was thinking of gifting him a Chopard watch.
00:18:37What do you think?
00:18:39Uh, a what watch?
00:18:40Uh, a what watch?
00:18:42Sorry?
00:18:43Surely you've heard of a Chopard watch.
00:18:45No, I, uh, I guess watches are just a bit impractical.
00:18:52I just tend to use this.
00:18:54Oh, you are quite funny.
00:18:58I never imagined Vaughn would go for someone from your background.
00:19:03What do you two even talk about?
00:19:07Well, you know, just life.
00:19:11Life.
00:19:12You call your cheap clothes and secondhand shoes life.
00:19:15You're from completely different worlds.
00:19:18Of course, maybe Vaughn finds your humor or your ignorance entertaining.
00:19:23Yeah, lucky me.
00:19:25But your private event is with Vaughn are none of my concern.
00:19:30And as for your business proposal, I shan't be taking it forward.
00:19:34We only ever do business with people with class.
00:19:38Mr. Rivers, you haven't even looked at it yet.
00:19:40Please, please just give me a chance.
00:19:42Is this how you've won over Henry Vaughn?
00:19:44By being desperate and clingy.
00:19:46But it won't work with me and his colleagues.
00:19:48Don't come near me again.
00:19:50I'm allergic to poverty.
00:19:51No, please.
00:19:52You haven't even read it.
00:19:53Please just...
00:19:53Mr. Rivers.
00:20:00I'm warning you, Miss Collins.
00:20:02Don't play these little games with me.
00:20:04What games?
00:20:05I'm just asking for a chance.
00:20:07You proved you don't belong in this circle.
00:20:09And I'm not interested in your proposal.
00:20:12What?
00:20:12All this humiliation just because I don't know the brand of a luxury watch?
00:20:16Let me explain it so that you'll understand.
00:20:18Simple examples for someone like you.
00:20:21Think of it this way.
00:20:23You need a ticket to board a train, to enter the theater.
00:20:26And for certain business opportunities, you need a ticket too.
00:20:31A ticket?
00:20:32Exactly.
00:20:33Watches, cars, wines, houses, luxury.
00:20:38These are the tickets of the elite.
00:20:40Do you understand now?
00:20:43What?
00:20:43So I don't even qualify to sit and discuss business with you?
00:20:46Oh, you might think dating Henry Vaughan means that you have stepped into this circle.
00:20:50But believe me, you haven't.
00:20:53And honestly, I think he will tire of you soon enough.
00:20:56I'm quite sure.
00:20:57Mr. Rivers, you don't know anything about me.
00:20:59Oh, come on.
00:21:00I know enough.
00:21:01And if you ever want to talk business opportunities, maybe clean up your appearance first.
00:21:07Showing up in old polyester is most impolite.
00:21:11Leaving so soon, Mr. Rivers?
00:21:13Mr. Rivers, we haven't finished our conversation yet.
00:21:19No, I'm done.
00:21:20Step aside.
00:21:20No.
00:21:21Sit back down.
00:21:25I'm just getting started.
00:21:31What are you trying to do?
00:21:33Assistant, I'm warning you.
00:21:35Or what?
00:21:36You'll take away my ticket too?
00:21:37Charge me admission?
00:21:38Stay out of this.
00:21:40Apologize to her.
00:21:41What?
00:21:41The things you've said were beyond rude.
00:21:44Offer her an apology now.
00:21:46Why would I do that?
00:21:48No.
00:21:49Victor Rivers, as you cling onto your crumbling family empire,
00:21:54you have no right to criticize a hardworking, self-made businesswoman.
00:21:59Oh, do shut up.
00:22:00I'll sue you for slander.
00:22:02Go ahead.
00:22:03Sue.
00:22:04I'm sure the judge would love to hear what you've said today.
00:22:08I'm calling my lawyer right now.
00:22:10You're finished.
00:22:10Boy, this can be tough.
00:22:12You really should apologize to him.
00:22:16The Chopar 201, how much is that?
00:22:2025 million nowadays?
00:22:22How generous, Mr. Rivers.
00:22:25So?
00:22:26That's exactly my point.
00:22:27The price of nobility.
00:22:29And how much do you owe the bank?
00:22:30More than a few of those watches, right?
00:22:37I don't understand what you're talking about.
00:22:41What are you doing?
00:22:42A year ago, Henry Vaughn discovered corruption in your company and terminated all deals with you, leading to significant financial problems for your group.
00:22:51But yet, you need the banks to still believe that you're thriving, so you got super creative with the numbers, practically lying to them, correct?
00:23:00That's nonsense.
00:23:01That's bullshit.
00:23:02That's nonsense.
00:23:03That's bullshit.
00:23:04The funny thing is, though, that it was corruption that led to the breakdown with Henry Vaughn, wasn't it?
00:23:10But now you think a 201's just going to buy that all back?
00:23:15I mean, it's more like a one-way ticket to jail.
00:23:20I shall sue you.
00:23:22It's all a lie.
00:23:23Fine.
00:23:23Call it a lie.
00:23:25We'll verify that in court.
00:23:27Hey, call your lawyer.
00:23:30Friendly advice?
00:23:32Your half-assed lawyer won't beat Barnes.
00:23:35I won't let this go.
00:23:37Your careers are over.
00:23:38Myla, I will end you.
00:23:41I doubt it.
00:23:43But please try.
00:23:45Keep me entertained.
00:23:51How would you know all of that?
00:23:55Who are you?
00:24:00Who are you?
00:24:02Listen, Myla.
00:24:04I'm actually...
00:24:06No.
00:24:07It doesn't matter anymore.
00:24:08We lost the deal.
00:24:10That's what matters.
00:24:13The deal?
00:24:14Victor wasn't here for your project.
00:24:17He was using you to get to Henry Vaughn.
00:24:19I know.
00:24:19But if there's even a sliver of a chance, I'll take it.
00:24:24You'd let him humiliate you like that?
00:24:26Look, you sound like you're from a good family.
00:24:29So here's the truth.
00:24:31The world isn't a fairy tale.
00:24:33Yeah, he'll mock me.
00:24:35So what?
00:24:36If it helps the people I care about, then I will swallow it.
00:24:40Money isn't worth this.
00:24:43It is when it protects the people that matter.
00:24:46Peter, I'm going to beg Victor.
00:24:48You can go home.
00:24:49You're still chasing him?
00:24:50Even after what he said?
00:24:52Yes.
00:24:53But you can go home.
00:24:55Don't worry.
00:24:56I'll make sure Linda pays you.
00:25:01And thank you for standing up for me today.
00:25:04It was very nice of you.
00:25:07It's just not what I need at the moment.
00:25:14Leave it.
00:25:16It's none of your business.
00:25:20Damn it.
00:25:24David, get Spark Up magazine a sponsorship.
00:25:27Spark Up?
00:25:28Doesn't Nyla Collins work there?
00:25:30Just give them the money and credit her.
00:25:34Get it done.
00:25:40This is a mess.
00:25:43But I can't watch her drown.
00:25:49Hey.
00:25:51You okay?
00:25:53Where's your heart, assistant?
00:25:56Not the right one.
00:25:59Two days ago, you said he was the best assistant ever.
00:26:05And hello.
00:26:06He's a walking blister.
00:26:10If you fired him, can I take him?
00:26:12No.
00:26:14I mean, stop joking.
00:26:17He's gone.
00:26:18Lila, what did you do?
00:26:23Linda, whatever it is, I promise I'll fix it.
00:26:25Fix it?
00:26:26You're a genius.
00:26:28How did you land such a big sponsor?
00:26:30Victor Rivers agreed to the project.
00:26:32Oh, forget Rivers.
00:26:34Vaughn's funding us.
00:26:36You really have Henry Vaughn wrapped around your little finger.
00:26:40Henry Vaughn?
00:26:41Sponsored us?
00:26:45They said they loved your project proposal.
00:26:48They read my project proposal?
00:26:50Yes.
00:26:51Lila, you're getting a raise.
00:26:52You and your assistant, whatever you two did, keep doing it.
00:26:58My assistant?
00:26:59And could it be Henry?
00:27:08Hey, why are you going?
00:27:20This is the address HR gave me.
00:27:24This can't be right.
00:27:27This is where he lives?
00:27:29Your father is losing patience.
00:27:37What's the delay with them all?
00:27:39Starlight Homes is already moving out.
00:27:41Just throw them out.
00:27:42The clock is ticking.
00:27:44There are still children in there.
00:27:47You want me to toss them out onto the street?
00:27:49Like we were tossed aside?
00:27:51Do you have any idea how serious this is?
00:27:54Without your father's support, we will lose everything.
00:27:57The project will finish on time.
00:28:01It's too late.
00:28:02Your little charity case with that girl is all over the news.
00:28:06I can't clean up your mess anymore.
00:28:09What are you talking about?
00:28:12I've spoken to the Browns.
00:28:15Helen's returning soon.
00:28:17You'll marry her.
00:28:18No.
00:28:19No, marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:28:21Wake up, Henry.
00:28:22Henry, as the heir to Vaughn Enterprise, your marriage isn't a choice.
00:28:27It's a transaction.
00:28:31And it better be a good one.
00:28:32A contract marriage benefits no one.
00:28:41You're really willing to ruin two people without a second thought.
00:28:44Who has agreed to this, Henry?
00:28:46Now, you better accept your fate.
00:28:48It's not up for discussion.
00:28:50And it's worth it just to keep your place in this family?
00:28:53I have scheduled an exclusive interview.
00:28:57In 30 minutes, you will be on live broadcast clarifying the scandal and announcing your engagement to Helen.
00:29:05You're in a real hurry, aren't you?
00:29:09With or without you, the announcement will take place.
00:29:12Now, if you show up, it's just an engagement.
00:29:15If you don't, I'll take actions against Starlight Holmes and Lila Collins.
00:29:20Is this a threat?
00:29:21Do you think I care about Lila Collins?
00:29:29I knew what happened with Victor Rivers, Henry.
00:29:32You're just not yourself when you were with her.
00:29:37If you can't clean up your mess, I will.
00:29:43Like always.
00:29:51I'm not sticking out.
00:30:03But you're quick.
00:30:05You're welcome.
00:30:06Alles.
00:30:06I love you.
00:30:07I love you.
00:30:09I love you.
00:30:11I love you.
00:30:11Oh, God.
00:30:12No.
00:30:12No.
00:30:13I love you.
00:30:14Okay.
00:30:15No.
00:30:15Oh, God.
00:30:16Where are you?
00:30:39Hey! Hey, stop!
00:30:46Whoa. 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. Does he live here or work here?
00:31:16What's going on? Do you know him or not? Did I get the wrong place?
00:31:21Hello? I know there is someone in there.
00:31:24Please, just open up. Please, I really need to...
00:31:26Henry.
00:31:39Henry.
00:31:48You're really here.
00:31:49What are you doing here?
00:31:50I got your address from HR. Wait, that's not important. Did you submit my proposal to Vaughn Enterprise?
00:31:58It was you! How do you know Vaughn Enterprise?
00:32:02So that's why you came? To investigate your sponsorship?
00:32:07Yes, I...
00:32:08Either way, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. You fired me. Remember?
00:32:14Well, look. I've got things to do. Let's not track this out.
00:32:20I came to say thank you. I was out of line last time. I know that. But you stood up for me against Victor Rivers. And look, I wanted to shut him down, too. But I've gotten so used to just handling things on my own and swallowing my pride.
00:32:40But then you showed up. I don't know how to say this, but, uh, thank you.
00:32:54Also, I hate owing people, and this will be nothing compared to what you did for me, but I would like to buy you dinner. As a proper thank you.
00:33:05So, what do you say? Dinner?
00:33:16Viola Collins. You may be my greatest mistake.
00:33:22Okay. I did say I'd treat you, but one meal here might cost more than my entire paycheck.
00:33:37You said I could pick the place.
00:33:39I did, but...
00:33:42Aren't you gonna answer that?
00:33:46It doesn't matter.
00:33:49I've already made my decision.
00:33:52I don't know why, but...
00:33:54Do you seem different?
00:33:55Like, there is a side to you I don't know.
00:33:58Breaking news.
00:33:59Laura Vaughan has just announced the engagement of Henry Vaughan and Helen Brown, heirs to two of the nation's largest enterprises.
00:34:06Mrs. Vaughan, your son was just involved in a scandal. How was he suddenly engaged?
00:34:09And how about this woman's girlfriend, Lila Collins?
00:34:12Is this a cover-up?
00:34:13I'll answer all your questions.
00:34:15First, regarding Miss Lila Collins, she has no romantic ties to her son.
00:34:20In fact, she is nothing but a liar, clinging to Henry in a desperate attempt for her attention.
00:34:26I am formally announcing Miss Lila Collins and Starlight Homes will be facing legal action.
00:34:35You were never actually engaged to Henry Vaughan, were you?
00:34:50No, I admit it.
00:34:52But 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...
00:35:04Well, things got out of control.
00:35:07Laura Vaughan is suing you.
00:35:10She's labelled you as a liar.
00:35:12And soon the entire public will believe it.
00:35:16And if they think you could lie about an engagement...
00:35:19They believe you lie about anything.
00:35:22Including Starlight Homes.
00:35:25But that's the truth. It's not a lie.
00:35:27It doesn't matter. People 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?
00:35:39A real engagement.
00:35:42We turn the lie into the truth.
00:35:44What?
00:35:48How did they get here so fast?
00:35:50Because I invited them.
00:35:52You 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?
00:36:01Did you really think...
00:36:03An ordinary assistant would live in that house?
00:36:06No luxury brands by heart?
00:36:09And an inside knowledge of every industry?
00:36:13What are you saying?
00:36:16I told you...
00:36:18I wasn't there for an interview.
00:36:20I was there for you.
00:36:23To meet someone who claimed to be...
00:36:27My fiancée.
00:36:31You're saying...
00:36:34That you are...
00:36:36Mr. Vaughn!
00:36:37Mr. Vaughn!
00:36:38What's your statement on your mother's press conference?
00:36:41Is the engagement real?
00:36:43Who exactly is your fiancée?
00:36:46He is...
00:36:47Henry Vaughn!
00:36:49Mr. Vaughn, what is the statement on your mother?
00:36:50What is the engagement real?
00:36:52Who is your fiancée?
00:36:53Please, everyone, you're disturbing me and my guests.
00:36:55I'll issue a statement soon, but for now, give us a moment.
00:36:58Mr. Vaughn, we need to know who is your wife's press conference.
00:37:00And how long have you been together?
00:37:01Are we expecting children?
00:37:02No!
00:37:03No!
00:37:04No!
00:37:05No!
00:37:06No!
00:37:07No!
00:37:08No!
00:37:09No!
00:37:10No!
00:37:11No!
00:37:12No!
00:37:13No!
00:37:14No!
00:37:15No!
00:37:16No!
00:37:17No!
00:37:18No!
00:37:19No!
00:37:20No!
00:37:21No!
00:37:22No!
00:37:23What exactly do you want?
00:37:24I want to make a deal.
00:37:25I'll give you enough money to relocate Starlight Homes.
00:37:30In exchange, we stay engaged, breaking off my marriage with Helen Brown.
00:37:37You think money is what I want?
00:37:38You think money is what I want?
00:37:39I want Starlight Homes.
00:37:40I want them to stop tearing down our home.
00:37:43I know your priority is Mrs. Green's care, right?
00:37:48I can make sure she gets the best treatment, best resources.
00:37:54I'll give you enough to rebuild Starlight Homes somewhere else exactly as it is now.
00:38:01But you have to move.
00:38:03And this fake engagement?
00:38:05It's the only way to escape the wedding trap my mother has set.
00:38:11When this is all over, we can break off the engagement.
00:38:15You'll be free with your money and you could open an orphanage anywhere in the world for
00:38:21all I care.
00:38:22So that's why you called the press here.
00:38:25To force me into agreeing.
00:38:27I never had a real choice, did I?
00:38:29I don't think you have a choice, Lila.
00:38:34This is the only option.
00:38:37The great Henry Vaughn pretends to be my assistant.
00:38:42And plays me and entertains me like some rich kid's game.
00:38:49What an honor.
00:38:54What do you say?
00:38:57Beyonce?
00:39:03Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Vaughn.
00:39:04Are you going to make a statement tonight?
00:39:06Is Helen Brown the third rule in all of this?
00:39:08Or is Lila Collins the one who's interfering?
00:39:10I understand this has been shocking for everyone.
00:39:13Lila and I included.
00:39:15But what I can say is that I admire Lila Collins immensely.
00:39:19Her personality.
00:39:24Her strength.
00:39:26There's something about her I've never seen in anyone before.
00:39:30As for the press conference today,
00:39:33I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:39:36I want to extend my apologies to Miss Helen Brown.
00:39:39However, there is no romantic relationship between us.
00:39:43We are not engaged.
00:39:45So you are engaged to Lila?
00:39:47Of course.
00:39:48All the rumors you've heard about us, it's true.
00:39:53Tonight's date speaks for itself.
00:39:57Right, Lila?
00:39:58Yes.
00:39:59Yes.
00:40:00Yes, that's right.
00:40:01Congratulations.
00:40:02This is incredible.
00:40:03Congrats.
00:40:05And of course, special thanks to the woman by my side.
00:40:07I hate him.
00:40:08And I hate myself.
00:40:09Because for just one fleeting moment, I wished it was real.
00:40:13Evening to you too, Father.
00:40:14Don't call yourself my son.
00:40:15And then humiliate this family.
00:40:16Evening to you too, Father.
00:40:17Don't call yourself my son.
00:40:18And then humiliate this family.
00:40:19I told you to handle the mall project.
00:40:20Shut down stuff.
00:40:21And then humiliate this family.
00:40:22I told you to handle them all.
00:40:23I told you to handle them all.
00:40:24I told you to handle them all.
00:40:25Shut down.
00:40:26And shut down startlight homes.
00:40:28And instead, you're seen with an activist.
00:40:28Evening to you too, Father.
00:40:41Don't call yourself my son and then humiliate this family.
00:40:46I told you to handle the mall project, shut down Starlight Homes,
00:40:50and instead you're seen with an activist.
00:40:53Henry must have been blackmailed.
00:40:55And you, a press conference turned into a joke.
00:40:58My interns could handle PR better than you.
00:41:02I've reached an agreement with Lila Collins.
00:41:05She'll move Starlight Homes within the week.
00:41:08The mall project won'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 you've agreed to marry her.
00:41:20We went through hell negotiating the Brown Family Alliance.
00:41:24That marriage won't stop the rumors.
00:41:26It'll make them worse.
00:41:27Times have changed.
00:41:29People don't blindly believe tabloid scandal anymore.
00:41:32Sooner or later, someone's going to find out that we used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:41:38And when that happens, who's going to clear our name?
00:41:40The Browns?
00:41:42They never wanted this mess in the first place.
00:41:45This is the only way forward.
00:41:46I promise you.
00:41:48This mall, I'll see it done.
00:41:50This is your last chance.
00:42:01Once it's done, get rid of the girl.
00:42:04Don't make me regret this.
00:42:19You might be able to fool your father.
00:42:22But I know my son.
00:42:25It was to protect the girl.
00:42:27Wasn't it?
00:42:28I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:36What did she do to you, Henry?
00:42:39Do you know how long we fought to get here?
00:42:42You fought?
00:42:42Have you ever stopped to think that I never wanted any of this in 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 that we're not?
00:42:58How is that any different from the people who resented us?
00:43:01You sound like those useless brats, chasing after some fantasy called freedom.
00:43:09Tell me, without money, without status, what do you have?
00:43:15Nothing.
00:43:17And when that day comes, the girl will be gone too.
00:43:20You again?
00:43:48You're that guy that came with the Vons.
00:43:49Their servant, right?
00:43:51You never said I was a servant.
00:43:53Whatever.
00:43:55At least you're not that 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 from a distance, surrounded by people, acting all important like he's
00:44:14royalty or something.
00:44:16You hate him for that?
00:44:18No.
00:44:19I hate him because every time he comes here, we have to spend days preparing.
00:44:24Mrs. Green is old and her health isn't great.
00:44:27But every time the Vons decide to use us as this little PR stunt, she has to get up, pose
00:44:34for photos and look presentable.
00:44:36We scrub the halls, we rehearse fake answers for reporters, and we have to hide all our old toys.
00:44:46God forbid the Vons see how we really live.
00:44:50They don't care about us.
00:44:51All they care about is looking good.
00:44:54I see.
00:44:58So, yeah.
00:45:00I hope he stops coming.
00:45:04I hope I never see Henry Vaughn here again.
00:45:07But at least I met you.
00:45:11What's your name, anyway?
00:45:13I have to go.
00:45:16What?
00:45:16Why?
00:45:17Will I see you again?
00:45:18I love you.
00:45:19I love you.
00:45:23You won't.
00:45:25We met again after all.
00:45:34I love you.
00:45:48Stay close.
00:45:50Breathe.
00:45:50Easy for you to say.
00:45:52Trust me.
00:45:53It wasn't easy at first.
00:45:58This is your first public appearance together.
00:46:00It's tonight the date.
00:46:01Lila, how does it feel dating the city's most eligible bachelor?
00:46:04Breathe. Ignore everything else.
00:46:07They're staring. Why are they staring? Is something wrong with my dress?
00:46:11You're my fiancé. No one will question it.
00:46:16Mr Vaughan, this is me and the family.
00:46:18Lila!
00:46:25Mr Vaughan, this is me and the family.
00:46:26Lila!
00:46:31Have we met before?
00:46:42Why do you ask?
00:46:45You seem familiar.
00:46:47You have been to Starlight Homes before.
00:46:50We must have met there.
00:46:52No.
00:46:53Trust me, if I'd met someone this loud before, I probably would have remembered.
00:46:57Uh, excuse me. If I'd met you before, I would have remembered too.
00:47:02Prick.
00:47:05Why are you laughing?
00:47:07Well, if it isn't my former fiancé and his charity case.
00:47:18She's my guest tonight, Helen.
00:47:19Oh, I'm joking.
00:47:20What, no warm welcome?
00:47:21We haven't seen each other for five years.
00:47:22We were never that close.
00:47:23Ouch.
00:47:24You've gotten meaner.
00:47:25Do you remember high school?
00:47:26Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:47:27I was the only one shouting.
00:47:28I was the only one shouting.
00:47:29I was the only one shouting.
00:47:30If it isn't my former fiancé and his charity case.
00:47:31If it isn't my former fiancé and his charity case.
00:47:32She's my guest tonight, Helen.
00:47:33Oh, I'm joking.
00:47:34What, no warm welcome?
00:47:35We haven't seen each other for five years.
00:47:36We were never that close.
00:47:37Ouch.
00:47:38You've gotten meaner.
00:47:39Do you remember high school?
00:47:40Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:47:41I was the only one shouting them up.
00:47:42Thanks for reminding me.
00:47:43Don't get me wrong.
00:47:44I mean, your background's messy.
00:47:45But men like your father, they do have plenty of affairs.
00:47:46Your mother being a nurse is not exactly shocking.
00:47:47I'm sorry.
00:47:48I'm sorry.
00:47:49I'm sorry.
00:47:50I'm sorry.
00:47:51I'm sorry.
00:47:52I'm sorry.
00:47:53I'm sorry.
00:47:54I'm sorry.
00:47:55I'm sorry.
00:47:56I'm sorry.
00:47:57I'm sorry.
00:47:58I'm sorry.
00:47:59I'm sorry.
00:48:00I'm sorry.
00:48:01I'm sorry.
00:48:02I'm sorry.
00:48:03I'm sorry.
00:48:04I'm sorry.
00:48:05This is not exactly shocking.
00:48:12Oh, you didn't know.
00:48:15Henry wasn't even raised in the Vaughn mansion at first.
00:48:18There was a time that he was kicked out.
00:48:20That's enough, Helen.
00:48:22Why are you here?
00:48:26I'm just curious.
00:48:28I wanted to see what's really going on between you two lovebirds.
00:48:31And?
00:48:32What do you see?
00:48:34Exactly what I assumed.
00:48:38A fake engagement.
00:48:44You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:48:47Honey, I haven't gotten started.
00:48:49But if you two want to continue your little pretend game, I'm happy to play along.
00:48:54We need to talk.
00:48:55You just left me standing there.
00:49:08What am I?
00:49:09A damn prop?
00:49:10She practically pulled herself down.
00:49:11Did I hurt your feelings?
00:49:14I'm just leaving.
00:49:15Wait.
00:49:16I like you, so I'm going to give you a little friendly warning.
00:49:17Stay away from him.
00:49:18He's mine.
00:49:19He's mine.
00:49:20Maybe you should tell him that.
00:49:21Maybe you should tell him that.
00:49:22He's the one who called me.
00:49:23He's mine.
00:49:24He's the one who called off your engagement.
00:49:25He said he was feeling trapped.
00:49:27Can you imagine?
00:49:28Someone like us feeling something like that?
00:49:30God thinks he's living in a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:49:31What?
00:49:32I'm just leaving.
00:49:33I'm just leaving.
00:49:34I'm just leaving.
00:49:35Wait.
00:49:36I like you, so I'm going to give you a little friendly warning.
00:49:39Stay away from him.
00:49:41He's mine.
00:49:46He's mine.
00:49:47Maybe you should tell him that.
00:49:48He's the one who called off your engagement.
00:49:50He said he was feeling trapped.
00:49:53Can you imagine?
00:49:54Someone like us feeling something like that?
00:49:57God thinks he's living in a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:49:59What exactly are you trying to say?
00:50:02That we understand each other.
00:50:06When Henry struggled to fit in, I was the one who helped him.
00:50:09I was the one who brought him into our circle.
00:50:13Without me, he would be no more than an illegitimate shadow.
00:50:16Are you saying he needs you?
00:50:17No.
00:50:19I'm saying I made him.
00:50:20And now just because of you, he's ready to throw it all away.
00:50:24That's not happening.
00:50:26Let me fill you in.
00:50:27Henry promised his father that the second Starlight Home would be gone.
00:50:32So would you.
00:50:33I don't care.
00:50:34Really?
00:50:37Why don't you hear for yourself?
00:50:39We used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:50:50This is the only way forward.
00:50:52I promise you.
00:50:53This mall, I'll see it done.
00:50:55I'll see it done.
00:51:04You take the bedroom, I'll take the couch.
00:51:06Do we really need to live together?
00:51:08Why did you rent an apartment just for this?
00:51:10This may be a fake engagement, but it needs to be convincing.
00:51:17You want a place just for us.
00:51:20No one invited guests.
00:51:23Right.
00:51:24You wouldn't want someone like me stepping foot in the Vaughn mansion.
00:51:27That's not what I meant.
00:51:28Myla, why do you always assume the worst?
00:51:32Get some rest.
00:51:36Why do rich people always put things so high?
00:51:37Try not to break it.
00:51:38It's expensive.
00:51:39I suppose that shelf would be a challenge for a short-legged corgi.
00:51:41I'm not.
00:51:42I'm not.
00:51:43I'm not.
00:51:44I'm not a corgi.
00:52:01Henry?
00:52:02Can I ask you something?
00:52:05And...
00:52:07Can I ask you something?
00:52:10And can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:52:18Can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:52:21Depends on what you ask.
00:52:25Right.
00:52:26Of course.
00:52:28You made this engagement deal for Starlight Homes, right?
00:52:32Henry, the so-called win-win.
00:52:39Was it all just a new PR strategy for Vaughn Enterprise?
00:52:48Answer me.
00:52:50I already told you.
00:52:53You get what you want, and 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 thrown me out, but you didn't.
00:53:01You met Mrs. Green.
00:53:04You knew exactly what would break me, but you never, ever used it.
00:53:11You could have labeled me a liar.
00:53:14To paint me as the one who came in between you and Helen.
00:53:19But you didn't.
00:53:21Why?
00:53:22Was it all just a way to make sure I willingly move Starlight Homes?
00:53:27To fake an engagement?
00:53:28Was it worth it?
00:53:34Henry Vaughn.
00:53:36Why are you helping me?
00:53:38I made my terms clear.
00:53:45You need to move Starlight Homes within a week.
00:53:47No, that's not an answer.
00:53:55All my life,
00:53:56I've been pretending to be someone I'm not.
00:54:00My mother went through hell
00:54:06because of where she came from.
00:54:09She always said she didn't want me to suffer like she did,
00:54:12so
00:54:12I did what was expected.
00:54:16I pushed.
00:54:17I fought.
00:54:20I became the perfect heir.
00:54:22The one who deserved to lead the Vaughn family.
00:54:32But I'm not them.
00:54:35I never was.
00:54:37I know that.
00:54:38Everything you said,
00:54:43using Mrs. Green to threaten you,
00:54:47forcing you all out with that warning,
00:54:49I did consider it.
00:54:51I'm not a saint.
00:54:54The thought crossed my mind more than once.
00:54:57But you didn't.
00:55:02Look, I don't want to talk about us like this,
00:55:05not while everything's still a mess.
00:55:08But what I said about you,
00:55:11that I admire your resilience,
00:55:16that you got to me,
00:55:20none of that was a lie.
00:55:21I, I think.
00:55:27I, I think.
00:55:51Henry Vaughn,
00:55:58don't betray my trust.
00:56:01Don't betray my trust.
00:56:21It's just a call,
00:56:39my fiancé.
00:56:40It's not too much.
00:56:42Right?
00:56:47Okay.
00:56:47Myla?
00:56:53Oh, you picked up.
00:56:55Uh, I figured you left early this morning,
00:57:00so 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,
00:57:10but 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?
00:57:21What 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.
00:57:33What the hell happened?
00:57:44Lala, Mrs. Green is missing.
00:57:47What happened?
00:57:48Yesterday, someone came claiming that Starlight Holmes was moving and that they wanted to take
00:57:55her on one last visit.
00:57:56We refused.
00:57:58But then last night, she was taken from a ward.
00:58:01How can that happen?
00:58:02I'm so sorry, Lala.
00:58:04All the security footage was erased.
00:58:07Who would want to discharge her early?
00:58:09He said he was here on behalf of your fiancée, Henry Vaughan.
00:58:14Miss Collins, a word, please.
00:58:17We need to talk.
00:58:21Do you work for Henry or Vaughan Enterprise?
00:58:23Does it matter?
00:58:25They're the same.
00:58:26Not to me.
00:58:26I see what he meant.
00:58:28You're special.
00:58:30But special is never what this family needs.
00:58:33What 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.
00:58:42If you had this much power, you could make me disappear without a second thought.
00:58:47Why bother making me a deal?
00:58:48Consider 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 Vaughan.
00:59:14And there's nothing that you can do about it.
00:59:18This is Henry Vaughan.
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.
00:59:48The number you have dialed is busy now.
00:59:53No.
00:59:56No.
00:59:58Henry Vaughan.
00:59:59Was this all a game to you?
01:00:03Yes, Doctor.
01:00:04I want the transfer arranged as soon as possible.
01:00:07That's great.
01:00:08I'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 and secured your place within this family.
01:00:26You're welcome.
01:00:27What did you do?
01:00:27Well, 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.
01:00:46How long do you plan to control my life?
01:00:49Wake up, Henry.
01:00:54You were not just yourself.
01:00:56You were Richard Vaughan's son.
01:00:58My son.
01:00:59And the heir to this family.
01:01:02Have you still not figured that out?
01:01:03Did I ever get a say in any of this?
01:01:08Get back here!
01:01:11Mrs. Vaughan!
01:01:13Mrs. Vaughan!
01:01:19Are you 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?
01:01:34They 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.
01:01:46I 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 gonna be fine.
01:02:06And really, you couldn't have picked a better hospital.
01:02:08Speaking of which, I have a little update on your fiancé'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?
01:02:45You really want to thank me?
01:02:47See, catching 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?
01:03:02Even though our engagement's off.
01:03:05Now that we're on the topic of it,
01:03:07I do have to ask,
01:03:10are you sure you don't want to marry me?
01:03:12A union between our families.
01:03:15We could withstand anything.
01:03:16Helen, I'm serious about Lila.
01:03:21I haven't told her yet.
01:03:24But I love her.
01:03:29Wow.
01:03:33I don't think I've ever heard you use that word before.
01:03:35And neither have I.
01:03:39Until now.
01:03:42Come 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.
01:03:58Just 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.
01:04:12So 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.
01:04:28I see.
01:04:29I'll talk to Lila.
01:04:31Thank you, Ellen.
01:04:32I like her, you know.
01:04:39She's, um...
01:04:41Different.
01:04:44Cute.
01:04:52I need to take this.
01:04:53Lila won'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.
01:05:22You're stalling.
01:05:22Why?
01:05:23Anyway, I swear I...
01:05:24I'm warning you.
01:05:26Tell me now.
01:05:39What did you do to Lila?
01:05:40Nothing.
01:05:42You'd better be telling the truth.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:44No.
01:05:44No.
01:05:44No.
01:05:45No.
01:05:45No.
01:05:45No.
01:05:46No.
01:05:46No.
01:05:47You never even saw me.
01:05:57I 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 fiance.
01:06:16Goodbye.
01:06:17You saw us?
01:06:18Oh, so you're finally admitting it.
01:06:21Great.
01:06:21Just fantastic.
01:06:24Mrs. 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.
01:06:38She 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.
01:06:58Please.
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...
01:07:04Let 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.
01:07:29I 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.
01:07:45Soon.
01:07:46I 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.
01:08:03She set me up.
01:08:05Lila.
01:08:06She 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.
01:08:16Can you forgive me?
01:08:17Now is not the time.
01:08:26You're right.
01:08:28When this is all over, we'll have plenty of time to talk about us.
01:08:33Come on.
01:08:40I know where Mrs. Green is.
01:08:43Let's go take her home.
01:08:44Lila.
01:08:45How...
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.
01:09:01He remembers this place?
01:09:05Yes, Lila.
01:09:06Maybe she remembers more than we think.
01:09:09And if we give her enough time, maybe she'll remember everything.
01:09:13You'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.
01:09:40You're going to ruin everything.
01:09:43No.
01:09:45Everything's saved because of her.
01:09:50What 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.
01:10:01There 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.
01:10:11I'm not tearing it down.
01:10:13I'm making it better.
01:10:15We'll rebuild it into something brighter, something 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.
01:10:27I used to think that love meant obeying you, meeting every expectation you set.
01:10:40But 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've been thinking.
01:11:25About why you feel so familiar?
01:11:31And?
01:11:33I used to hate it when the balloons came to Starlight Hose.
01:11:36But one day, that changed.
01:11:39Why?
01:11:41Because I met a very handsome, very quiet, very kind boy.
01:11:49How 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 drifted waiting for.
01:12:27I see you sometimes behind those kind of eyes.
01:12:37I'm in a different outfit.
01:12:41Yeah, exactly.
01:12:42I'm sorry.
01:12:47I've been spending all my days with you.
01:12:59Yes.
01:13:05Great.
01:13:07Amazing.
