Beneath The Veil
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.
00:01:38Oh, my.
00:01:41Mr. Vaughn, I missed the board! I'll get to tell you about it!
00:01:43This is some sort of ginky elevator, right?
00:01:45Is that how you get off your nerves for the evidence?
00:01:47Yes, how long have you been expecting your brother, Mr. Vaughn?
00:01:51Oh, okay. Okay, okay.
00:01:52Wait!
00:01:53Mr. Vaughn, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go!
00:01:55Did you even see him?
00:01:57No, the things got complicated.
00:02:00Oh, boss. I'll get to work right away.
00:02:03Oh, no, Miss Collins. Don't work so hard. You've been non-stop. 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. You'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.
00:02:28Oh, come on. This photo. It's clearly you.
00:02:31It's totally that.
00:02:32Yes. It is me.
00:02:34I knew it. Only 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. He's just an arrogant shithead.
00:02:53Okay, then at least we can use it to our advantage and raise money for Starlight.
00:02:58What? Do you really think people will treat us differently?
00:03:00No. There is no way anyone would do that.
00:03:04Oh, I'll handle your assignments. Anything.
00:03:07To Mr. Vaughn's girlfriend.
00:03:09I'll get you coffee from now on.
00:03:11You can have half my project bonus.
00:03:13Lila, I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:03:17Effective immediately.
00:03:19Oh, yeah.
00:03:21I 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.
00:03:36Wait, 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.
00:03:43If I get the job, will I get to meet Henry Vaughn?
00:03:51Oh, my God. Oh, 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.
00:04:09Next.
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.
00:05:29And he 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, the project's been delayed, and he's been seen cozying up with the enemy, some 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, and 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?
00:07:13Mom?
00:07:17It's okay.
00:07:19It's okay.
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.
00:07:46So heartbreaking.
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, just 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.
00:08:38Lily, of course.
00:08:40She just loves yellow.
00:08:42I don't know.
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.
00:29:51You're eating.
00:29:58I love you.
00:29:59Am I?
00:30:01I love you.
00:30:01There's no taste.
00:30:02I love you.
00:30:03All right.
00:30:03I like always.
00:30:08I like always.
00:30:09I love you.
00:30:10I love you.
00:30:11I love you.
00:30:11I love you.
00:30:12You're just a threat.
00:30:13I love you.
00:30:14I love you.
00:30:15I love you.
00:30:16I love you.
00:30:17I love you.
00:30:18Where are you?
00:30:39Hey! Hey, stop!
00:30:48Whoa. 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?
00:31:12What'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. Please, just open up. Please, I really need to...
00:31:38Henry.
00:31:42You're really here.
00:31:49What are you doing here?
00:31:51I 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?
00:32:03So 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.
00:32:15I've got things to do. Let's not track this out.
00:32:21I came to say thank you.
00:32:22I 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.
00:32:52Also, I hate owing people, and... 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?
00:33:16Violet 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?
00:33:56Like there is a side to you I don't know.
00:33:58Breaking news.
00:34:00Laura 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?
00:34:10And how about this woman's girlfriend, Lila Collins?
00:34:12Is this a cover-up?
00:34:14I'll answer all your questions.
00:34:16First, regarding Miss Lila Collins, she has no romantic ties to my son.
00:34:22In fact, she is nothing but a liar, clinging to Henry in a desperate attempt for attention.
00:34:29I am formally announcing, Miss Lila Collins and Starlight Homes will be facing legal action.
00:34:40You were never actually engaged, 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.
00:35:23Including 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.
00:35:30Why are you telling me this?
00:35:33Because I'm offering you an alternative.
00:35:35What kind of alternative?
00:35:39A real engagement.
00:35:41We 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?
00:35:53The only way to kill a rumor...
00:35:56Is to start another one.
00:35:58What 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...
00:36:11Of every industry?
00:36:13What are you saying?
00:36:15I told you...
00:36:18I wasn't there for an interview.
00:36:21I was there for you.
00:36:23To meet someone who claimed to be...
00:36:27My fiancé.
00:36:31You're saying...
00:36:34That you are...
00:36:36Mr. Vaughn!
00:36:38Mr. Vaughn!
00:36:39What's your statement on your mother's press conference?
00:36:41Is the engagement real?
00:36:43Mr. Vaughn!
00:36:44Why are you dining with Ryla Collins right now?
00:36:45Who exactly is your fiancé?
00:36:47He is...
00:36:50Henry Vaughn!
00:36:58Mr. Vaughn, what is the statement on your mother's?
00:37:00What is the engagement real?
00:37:01Please, everyone.
00:37:02You're disturbing me and my guests.
00:37:04I'll issue a statement soon.
00:37:05But for now, give us a moment.
00:37:06Mr. Vaughn, we need...
00:37:08Mr Vaughn!
00:37:09Who's your home, I'm not good at this.
00:37:10And how long have you been together.
00:37:11Are we expecting children?
00:37:12How many kids do you have?
00:37:15Mr Vaughn!
00:37:16Mr Vaughn, come on, just 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 to relocate Starlight Homes.
00:37:31In exchange, we stay engaged.
00:37:35Breaking off my marriage with Helen Brown.
00:37:38You think money is what I want?
00:37:40I want Starlight Homes.
00:37:41I want them to stop tearing down our home.
00:37:43I know your priority is Mrs Green's care, right?
00:37:49I 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.
00:38:04And this fake engagement?
00:38:07It's the only way to escape the wedding trap my mother has set.
00:38:09When this is all over, we can break off the engagement.
00:38:16You'll be free with your money, and you could open an orphanage anywhere in the world for all I care.
00:38:22So that's why you called the press here, to force me into agreeing I never had a real choice, did I?
00:38:31I don't think you have a choice, Lila.
00:38:35This is the only option.
00:38:37The great Henry Vaughn pretends to be my assistant, and plays me and entertains me like some rich kid's game.
00:38:47What an honor.
00:38:53What do you say?
00:38:57Beyonce?
00:38:58Mr Vaughn, Mr Vaughn, are you going to make a statement tonight?
00:39:06Is Helen Brown the third wheel in all of this?
00:39:09Or is Lila Collins the one who's interfering?
00:39:11I understand this has been shocking for everyone.
00:39:14Lila and I included.
00:39:15But what I can say is that I admire Lila Collins immensely.
00:39:23Her personality, her strength.
00:39:27There's something about her I've never seen in anyone before.
00:39:32As for the press conference today, I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:39:37I 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?
00:39:48Of course.
00:39:49All the rumors you've heard about us, it's true.
00:39:54Tonight's date speaks for itself.
00:39:57Am I Lila?
00:40:01Yes.
00:40:03Yes, that's right.
00:40:05Congratulations.
00:40:07This is incredible. Congrats.
00:40:09And of course, special thanks to the woman by my side.
00:40:15I hate him.
00:40:17And I hate myself.
00:40:21Because for just one fleeting moment,
00:40:24I wished it was real.
00:40:28Evening to you too, Father.
00:40:41Don't call yourself my son and then humiliate this family.
00:40:45Henry, I 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.
00:41:00I've reached an agreement with Lila Collins.
00:41:05She'll move Starlight Homes within the week.
00:41:07The 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?
00:41:41They 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.
00:41:58This 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.
00:42:45Have you ever stopped to think that I never wanted any of this in the first place?
00:42:50The wealth, the 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?
00:42:57How is that any different from the people who resented us?
00:43:02You sound like those useless brats.
00:43:05Chasing after some fantasy called freedom.
00:43:09Tell me.
00:43:10Without money.
00:43:11Without status.
00:43:13What do you have?
00:43:15Nothing.
00:43:17And when that day comes,
00:43:19the girl will be gone too.
00:43:20I don't know.
00:43:27You're the 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.
00:44:01You've met him?
00:44:07No, not exactly.
00:44:10But I've seen him from a distance,
00:44:11surrounded by people,
00:44:13acting all-important like he's royalty or something.
00:44:16You hate him for that?
00:44:18No.
00:44:19I hate him because every time he comes here,
00:44:22we 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,
00:44:32she has to get up,
00:44:34pose for photos and look presentable.
00:44:38We scrub the halls,
00:44:40we rehearse fake answers for reporters,
00:44:42and we have to hide all our old toys.
00:44:46Oh, God forbid the Vons see how we really live.
00:44:50They don't care about us.
00:44:52All they care about is looking good.
00:44:57I see.
00:45:00So, yeah.
00:45:02I hope he stops coming.
00:45:05I hope I never see Henry Vaughn here again.
00:45:07But at least I met you.
00:45:12What's your name, anyway?
00:45:14I have to go.
00:45:16What? Why?
00:45:17Will I see you again?
00:45:22No.
00:45:25You won't.
00:45:33We met again after all.
00:45:37Stick close and breathe.
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 public appearance together.
00:46:00It's tonight's the day.
00:46:01Lyla, how does it feel dating the city's most eligible bachelor?
00:46:05Breathe.
00:46:06Ignore everything else.
00:46:07They're staring. Why are they staring? Is something wrong with my dress?
00:46:11You're my fiancée. No one will question you.
00:46:16Mr. Vaughan, this is me and the family.
00:46:18Lyla!
00:46:25Mr. Vaughan, this is me and the family.
00:46:26Lyla!
00:46:37Have we met before?
00:46:44Why do you ask?
00:46:45You seem familiar. You have been to Starlight Homes before. We must have met there.
00:46:51No. Trust 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. Prick.
00:47:03Why are you laughing?
00:47:24Well, if it isn't my former fiancée and his charity case.
00:47:28She's my guest tonight, Helen.
00:47:34Oh, I'm joking.
00:47:37What, no warm welcome? We haven't seen each other for five years.
00:47:40We were never that close.
00:47:43Ouch. You've gotten meaner.
00:47:48Do you remember high school? Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:47:54I was the only one shutting them up.
00:47:55Thanks for reminding me.
00:47:56Don't get me wrong. I mean, your background's messy.
00:48:01But men like your father, they do have plenty of affairs.
00:48:04Your mother being a nurse is not exactly shocking.
00:48:13Oh, you didn't know.
00:48:16Henry wasn't even raised in the Vaughan mansion at first.
00:48:19That was the time that he was kicked out.
00:48:20That's enough, Helen.
00:48:22Helen, why are you here?
00:48:27I'm just curious.
00:48:29I wanted to see what's really going on between you two lovebirds.
00:48:32And what do you see?
00:48:34Exactly what I assumed.
00:48:35A fake engagement.
00:48:44You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:48:47Honey, I haven't gotten started.
00:48:50But if you two want to continue your little pretend game,
00:48:52I'm happy to play along.
00:48:54We need to talk.
00:49:07You just left me standing there.
00:49:18What am I, a damn prop?
00:49:20And she, she practically pulled herself down.
00:49:27Aww, did I hurt your feelings?
00:49:32I'm just leaving.
00:49:32Wait.
00:49:35I like you, so I'm gonna give you a little friendly warning.
00:49:39Stay away from him.
00:49:40Henry, he'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 someone like us feeling something like that?
00:49:57God thinks he's living a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:50:00What 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.
00:50:10I was the one who brought him into our home circle.
00:50:13Without me, he would be no more than an illegitimate shadow.
00:50:16Are you saying he needs you?
00:50:18No.
00:50:19I'm saying I made him.
00:50:21And 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.
00:50:28Henry 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?
00:50:35Why don't you hear for yourself?
00:50:46We used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:50:50This is the only way forward.
00:50:52I promise you.
00:50:54This mall, I'll see it done.
00:50:55You take the bedroom, I'll take the couch.
00:51:06Do we really need to live together?
00:51:09Why did you rent an apartment just for this?
00:51:10It's maybe a fake engagement, but it needs to be convincing.
00:51:18You 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 Vaughan mansion.
00:51:28That's not what I meant.
00:51:29Myla.
00:51:31Why do you always assume the worst?
00:51:36Get some rest.
00:51:44Why do rich people always put things so high?
00:51:47Try not to break it.
00:51:51It's expensive.
00:51:54I suppose that shelf would be a challenge.
00:51:56You're a short-legged corgi.
00:51:58I'm not.
00:52:00Not a corgi.
00:52:05Henry.
00:52:07Can I ask you something?
00:52:10And can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:52:17It depends on what you ask.
00:52:25Right.
00:52:27Of course.
00:52:29You made this engagement deal for Starlight Homes, right?
00:52:35A so-called win-win.
00:52:39Was it all just a new PR strategy for Vaughan Enterprise?
00:52:47Answer 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.
00:53:02You met Mrs. Green.
00:53:04You knew exactly what would break me, but you never, ever used it.
00:53:09You 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.
00:53:19Why?
00:53:22Was it all just a way to make sure I willingly move Starlight Homes?
00:53:27To fake an engagement?
00:53:31Was it worth it?
00:53:34Henry Vaughan, why 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,
00:53:58I've been pretending to be someone I'm not.
00:54:00My mother went through hell because of where she came from.
00:54:09She always said she didn't want me to suffer like she did, so I did what was expected.
00:54:16I pushed.
00:54:17I fought.
00:54:20I became the perfect heir.
00:54:25The one who deserved to lead the Vaughan family.
00:54:30But I'm not them.
00:54:35I never was.
00:54:37I know that.
00:54:42Everything you said,
00:54:44using 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.
00:55:03I don't want to talk about us like this, not while everything's still a mess.
00:55:08But what I said about you,
00:55:12that I admire your resilience,
00:55:16that you got to me,
00:55:17none of that was a lie.
00:55:26I...
00:55:27I think...
00:55:27I feel my soul breaking.
00:55:44Thoughts get so wicked.
00:55:48I've been making friends with my nightmares to fall asleep.
00:55:57Henry Vaughn.
00:55:59Don't betray my trust.
00:56:01Because of that...
00:56:01A title.
