00:00:00Oh, yes, Preston.
00:00:07Oh, Preston.
00:00:11Preston.
00:00:13Preston.
00:00:16Sorry, what were you saying, Father?
00:00:18I said, are you planning to attend our little celebration next week?
00:00:22Yes, you must come.
00:00:24Everyone will expect you to be there.
00:00:26I'm busy next week.
00:00:28But...
00:00:28Next week?
00:00:30It's the anniversary of my mother's death.
00:00:33I'm sure Father has forgotten.
00:00:35After all, it was one year ago.
00:00:37Don't speak that way in front of your stepmother.
00:00:40It's all right, darling.
00:00:43I'll get it.
00:00:53You.
00:00:55Oh, Emily, you're finally here.
00:00:57Preston, this is Emily, your new stepsister.
00:01:04Preston.
00:01:07You're late.
00:01:08Okay, I know, I know.
00:01:09I'm sorry.
00:01:09I will not keep covering for you.
00:01:11You said that the last time.
00:01:14Besides, I finished my photography portfolio.
00:01:17Oh, finally.
00:01:18I thought you'd never finish.
00:01:19I wanted it to be perfect.
00:01:21Perfect doesn't pay the bills.
00:01:23But it will.
00:01:24Okay.
00:01:24Until then, take this tray.
00:01:27These little finger foods aren't going to serve themselves.
00:01:32Preston.
00:01:33Nice to meet you.
00:01:34Who is he?
00:01:37He looks like a total tool.
00:01:39Shh.
00:01:39I wouldn't say that too loudly.
00:01:41This is his house.
00:01:42It's very nice.
00:01:43In his party.
00:01:44Hey, about time you made an appearance.
00:01:50Sorry, I was on a business call.
00:01:52I would love to see all of your hard work finally paying off, but it's time to take this
00:01:56all in, my friend.
00:01:58After Flatter goes public, this is going to be our lives every single night.
00:02:03Look who just arrived.
00:02:06You can't escape me tonight, Preston.
00:02:09I take it you invited her.
00:02:12Just protecting my investment.
00:02:14Don't remind me.
00:02:15Hey, you're the youngest CEO and owner to take a company public.
00:02:19That makes an already skeptical market even more nervous.
00:02:22It's important to project stability.
00:02:26I know.
00:02:27Yeah, which means that until the IPO, you and Cassie are the perfect, happy couple.
00:02:34Then what?
00:02:36After.
00:02:37It doesn't matter what or who you do.
00:02:39After, you and by the transit of property, I will be very, very rich.
00:02:47Thanks.
00:02:53Oh, hell no.
00:02:57Hello?
00:02:58Did you hear what I said?
00:03:00We're going to be rich.
00:03:01Filthy rich.
00:03:02I mean, this could be your chance to get in on the ground floor, if you know what I mean.
00:03:06Shut up.
00:03:07Dylan, I see you're still preying on common carry-in.
00:03:13Guilty.
00:03:15Cassie.
00:03:16Didn't know you were coming tonight.
00:03:18I'm full of surprises.
00:03:21You can go now.
00:03:23Go serve your cheese elsewhere.
00:03:24Shoot.
00:03:25I knew you wanted to get me alone.
00:03:31No.
00:03:32Just to remind you that we are not a couple.
00:03:35But, Preston...
00:03:36Nope.
00:03:37We...
00:03:37We're only keeping the charade up until the IPO goes through.
00:03:41So remember,
00:03:42you're not my girlfriend.
00:03:44Where are you going?
00:03:51To my room.
00:03:52I didn't want to host this party.
00:03:54Eavesdrop much?
00:04:03Ugh.
00:04:04He doesn't even have manners.
00:04:08Where did Preston go?
00:04:09He's not feeling well.
00:04:12He needs to be down here showing his face.
00:04:13I know.
00:04:15It's so much worse.
00:04:17I don't know why.
00:04:17Deep breaths.
00:04:19Actually, don't worry.
00:04:20I've got just the plan to keep him in line.
00:04:23He needs to be reminded that I'm not just someone to be tossed aside.
00:04:31Uh, yes.
00:04:32How can I help you?
00:04:33I need you to bring a bottle of champagne and two glasses up to the host's room.
00:04:38My job only includes doing catering for the party.
00:04:41If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford,
00:04:43I suggest you do what I say.
00:04:45Uh, sure.
00:04:48Okay.
00:05:00Shit.
00:05:03Hi, Mom.
00:05:04I am at work.
00:05:05Can I call you back later?
00:05:06Honey, I got married.
00:05:08You what?
00:05:09Father?
00:05:10Father?
00:05:10Son?
00:05:11I'm calling to tell you that I got married.
00:05:14What?
00:05:16Excuse me?
00:05:17That's right.
00:05:19Uh, are you serious?
00:05:21Of course I am.
00:05:23Okay, but Mom, last, last time was...
00:05:26Listen.
00:05:27Thinking.
00:05:28Mom died less than a year ago.
00:05:29If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford, I suggest you do what I say.
00:05:44I'm going to finish cleaning all this up, I promise.
00:05:59Preston, Linford, how dare you cheat on me?
00:06:02And with the help?
00:06:04This is going to ruin your IPO.
00:06:07What the fuck?
00:06:08Where is she?
00:06:12What makes you think I'm cheating on you?
00:06:14We're such a happy couple.
00:06:16I, um...
00:06:18I heard...
00:06:21Well, it doesn't matter who told me.
00:06:24You are.
00:06:24Look!
00:06:26Someone dropped this off in my room without me knowing.
00:06:30I would thank them if I knew who did it.
00:06:32And the girl who brought it up here?
00:06:35Left.
00:06:36So should you.
00:06:38No!
00:06:39Goodbye.
00:06:40Preston, stop.
00:06:40Thank you for stopping by.
00:06:41No, I'm not leaving.
00:06:42Yes, you are.
00:06:42Preston, stop.
00:06:43Bye-bye.
00:06:44No, Preston.
00:06:45Bye-bye.
00:06:45Preston!
00:06:47Preston!
00:06:56I'm so sorry about all this again.
00:07:00Guess I should be going.
00:07:02I'm afraid I can't allow that.
00:07:04What do you mean?
00:07:08I know, Cassie.
00:07:10Whatever drama she's stirring up needs to settle.
00:07:14I'm guessing she's probably hanging around outside the room for a while.
00:07:17But what are we supposed to do in the meantime?
00:07:21Hmm.
00:07:22That's a good question.
00:07:24Only...
00:07:26Oh, look.
00:07:28Champagne.
00:07:29You're in a towel.
00:07:35Well, you're right.
00:07:37I should probably take it off.
00:07:38No!
00:07:40All right.
00:07:43You're still...
00:07:43You're still just wearing a towel.
00:07:48Well, then imagine I have a bathing suit on underneath.
00:07:51But you don't.
00:07:53Then imagine I don't.
00:07:56Cheers.
00:07:59Cheers.
00:07:59You know, that bottle cost more than my first car.
00:08:09Your first car probably tasted better.
00:08:12You don't have to drink it.
00:08:14No.
00:08:14I am willing to try something different tonight.
00:08:19Hmm.
00:08:22Can I ask you something?
00:08:24Sure.
00:08:25Why do you pretend to be with her?
00:08:29Hmm.
00:08:29I saw you guys arguing downstairs at the party.
00:08:32It's complicated.
00:08:33Yeah, I get it.
00:08:37Just a big, important businessman with big, important businessman problems.
00:08:42You're right.
00:08:43Let's just say my cheating ex isn't where I want to give my attention to right now.
00:08:55How's the champagne?
00:08:57It's growing on me.
00:08:59My turn to ask you something.
00:09:01All right.
00:09:03What's your name?
00:09:19Oh, Preston.
00:09:22This is Emily, your stepsister.
00:09:25I told her to fly.
00:09:26Mom.
00:09:27But she wouldn't accept money for a plane ticket.
00:09:29I don't need any help.
00:09:31I can take care of myself.
00:09:32Really?
00:09:33She's so stubborn.
00:09:34Family.
00:09:36Am I right?
00:09:40Best behavior, Emily.
00:09:43Darling.
00:09:44Look who just arrived.
00:09:46You must be Emily.
00:09:48Your mother has told me so much about you.
00:09:50That's nice.
00:09:51I just found out about you yesterday.
00:09:53What a kidder.
00:09:56Preston.
00:09:57Why don't you show Emily around the house.
00:10:00That's a wonderful idea.
00:10:02First, you should show your stepsister to Rome.
00:10:05We are all one big, happy family now.
00:10:09Oh.
00:10:15Fine?
00:10:15Mm-hmm.
00:10:16Fine?
00:10:17Mm-hmm.
00:10:18Follow me.
00:10:19Gay.
00:10:20Gay.
00:10:21Mm-hmm.
00:10:25Okay.
00:10:28Just slow down.
00:10:31That's not what you said the other night.
00:10:33Sis.
00:10:35Asshole.
00:10:35My mom.
00:10:46She's beautiful.
00:10:48Was.
00:10:50She was beautiful.
00:10:53I'm sorry.
00:10:54I'm sorry.
00:10:54It really was a beautiful photograph of your mom.
00:11:09It really captured her joy.
00:11:13No.
00:11:15I'm a photographer myself, actually.
00:11:17Or that's the dream, at least.
00:11:19To own my own studio.
00:11:20But for now, I am just taking photos in between passing rederves.
00:11:28That's why you didn't tell me your name.
00:11:31You knew who I was.
00:11:33You knew who my family is.
00:11:35Wanted to, I don't know, secure yourself to me like your mother did to my father?
00:11:38What?
00:11:39No.
00:11:39No, no, of course not.
00:11:41Seems a little too convenient if you ask me.
00:11:43I had no idea who you were when we...
00:11:46Well, you know, just...
00:11:49I bet this is you and your mother's game.
00:11:54No.
00:11:54Preston, you've got it all wrong.
00:11:56I don't think so.
00:11:58Listen to me.
00:12:00I don't need you messing everything up.
00:12:03Preston, I...
00:12:03Stay out of my way.
00:12:07Don't fuck up my business.
00:12:11Preston, that...
00:12:12You got Z.
00:12:21Zoe.
00:12:23OMG, tell me everything.
00:12:24Who is the guy your mom married?
00:12:25Is he better than the guy that believed opera was amended by aliens?
00:12:28Yeah, he's...
00:12:29Okay, but...
00:12:31Hey, Zoe, do you...
00:12:32Remember that guy I hooked up with at that catering event we worked?
00:12:37Mr. Hot Moneybags?
00:12:38Yeah, what about him?
00:12:38He is my new stepbrother.
00:12:46Zoe?
00:12:48Hey, did you hear what I said?
00:12:51Yeah, yeah, I heard.
00:12:53That's why my jaw is on the floor.
00:12:56Hmm.
00:12:56You gotta admit, that's kinda hot.
00:12:59No, it...
00:12:59No, it's not.
00:13:00No, no.
00:13:01He is a jerk, okay?
00:13:03He...
00:13:03He thinks this is some plan I have with my mom to get at his family's money.
00:13:08Ugh, give the guy a break.
00:13:09I'm sure he thinks all women are after his money.
00:13:12Yeah, but I'm not.
00:13:13I know that.
00:13:14Give him time and he will too.
00:13:16How do you know that?
00:13:17Because I know you.
00:13:18And money is the last thing you're interested in when dating.
00:13:22Thanks, Z.
00:13:23So you're gonna hook up with him again?
00:13:26What?
00:13:27What?
00:13:28I know!
00:13:28The fact that it's taboo makes it so much hotter!
00:13:32Plus, he's right down the hall.
00:13:33He's my stepbrother.
00:13:36That's not enough.
00:13:47Hello?
00:13:47Hello?
00:13:48Are you still there?
00:13:49Yeah.
00:13:50Yeah, I gotta go.
00:13:55Oh, what am I gonna do?
00:13:57I can't be falling for my stepbrother.
00:14:06Oh my god, it's you.
00:14:10Cassie, meet Emily.
00:14:12My stepsister.
00:14:14Well, I guess it's true what they say.
00:14:17Anything can happen.
00:14:19You know, I'm not really hungry.
00:14:21I think I'm just hungry.
00:14:22Oh, no, no.
00:14:23You must stay.
00:14:24We were just talking about the investors' gala.
00:14:27Aren't we, darling?
00:14:30I came over to set up the house for the event and photo shoot.
00:14:34It's all about Preston going public with his company as the youngest CEO.
00:14:39It's sure to be quite the event.
00:14:41Exactly.
00:14:42That's why I insisted you come out as soon as possible.
00:14:45I'm sure I could find something useful for you to do at the party.
00:14:48Maybe serving drinks.
00:14:50Oh, that was just a temporary job.
00:14:53Right, sweetie?
00:14:54Oh.
00:14:56That's right.
00:14:58You're a part of the family now.
00:14:59I can't help but look at you and think you're the help.
00:15:07Emily is a part of this family now.
00:15:10So I suggest you watch what you're saying.
00:15:15I didn't mean to offend you.
00:15:18It was just an honest observation.
00:15:20I mean, you said it yourself.
00:15:22She's a part of the family now.
00:15:24Don't you want her to fit in?
00:15:25I just want Emily to be able to attract a good man.
00:15:30Well, that might be a little bit of a stretch.
00:15:34I mean, I wouldn't say serving drinks is a career.
00:15:38And what respectable man would want that long term?
00:15:42Right, Preston?
00:15:44No, I'm good where I'm at.
00:15:46No, you're not.
00:15:48Cassie is right.
00:15:49If you want to move up in life, you need help.
00:15:52Lawrence, can't you find her a position at one of your companies?
00:15:56No, no, you don't.
00:15:58Oh, I'm sure I could find something.
00:16:02But perhaps...
00:16:03No.
00:16:05She wouldn't be a better fit at my company.
00:16:09She probably doesn't even have the proper work experience.
00:16:11Excuse me.
00:16:12Yeah.
00:16:13Hi.
00:16:14Yeah, it's me, the one whose life you're talking about right now.
00:16:17How about we all stop making decisions about me like I'm not even here?
00:16:21We need...
00:16:23We are only trying...
00:16:24To help?
00:16:25Yeah, I'm good.
00:16:27Thanks.
00:16:29I am just looking out for you like I always have.
00:16:32Always.
00:16:33Yeah.
00:16:34Always.
00:16:36Look.
00:16:38Maybe if you could be more like Cassie and, you know, find a man who could take care of you,
00:16:44provide for you, you know, like Preston.
00:16:47I'm sorry, it's just the thought of her with Preston, it's ridiculous.
00:16:59I don't want to offend you, it's just, he's your stepbrother.
00:17:03It would be wrong.
00:17:04I don't mean Preston himself, I just mean a man with money.
00:17:08You know, who could pay for your little photographs.
00:17:11I don't know how many times I have to go over this with you, Mom.
00:17:16Hey, I don't need anyone else's money.
00:17:19I...
00:17:19I make my photography happen for myself.
00:17:22So I don't need you or anyone else or some guy to give me money, unlike some people at the stable.
00:17:32Emily.
00:17:33And that's for Preston?
00:17:33If he wasn't my so-called stepbrother, I wouldn't go near him, let alone be with him.
00:17:51No, leave me alone.
00:17:53What are you mad at me for?
00:17:55I'm not the one that...
00:17:56No, you didn't say it, but you sure didn't defend me, did you?
00:18:01I didn't mean to...
00:18:01Weren't you the one who said, I need to stay out of your way?
00:18:08I... didn't exactly...
00:18:10Yes, you did.
00:18:12You're right, I did.
00:18:14I'm sorry.
00:18:16It's just because I really need an angel investor to agree to a deal.
00:18:20And if people found out about me and my stepsister, you know...
00:18:24Don't worry, I won't tell a soul.
00:18:28God, that night was a mistake.
00:18:29It should never happen.
00:18:33Know it better yet?
00:18:36Never have to see me again.
00:18:38I'm leaving.
00:18:40What?
00:18:43I'm gonna go.
00:18:44For good this time.
00:18:45No more fighting with my mother.
00:18:47You're free to handle your important deal without me in the way.
00:18:51I was never meant to be a part of this world.
00:19:02I need you to do something for me.
00:19:10Thanks.
00:19:11I'll send it over today.
00:19:12What are you doing?
00:19:17I know something is going on between you and Emily.
00:19:20She's your stepsister, Preston.
00:19:22I know that.
00:19:23And I am your girlfriend.
00:19:25You are not my girlfriend.
00:19:27I am.
00:19:29If you want your father to think you're a good boy,
00:19:31I know what this gala and this company means to you.
00:19:35Without me by your side,
00:19:37investors flee.
00:19:39The business fails.
00:19:40You'll be an embarrassment.
00:19:42And then you'll never be able to get out from under your father's control.
00:19:47So it's your choice.
00:19:49Either me and all your dreams of success.
00:19:53Or nothing.
00:19:56Come on.
00:19:58Let's feed things up.
00:19:59You need to behave.
00:20:01And come down and finish your breakfast.
00:20:02Come on.
00:20:08Hello?
00:20:15Yes, this is Emily Monroe.
00:20:19You serious?
00:20:23Uh, um...
00:20:25Yes.
00:20:26No, no, no.
00:20:26Yes, I am.
00:20:27I'm incredibly interested.
00:20:29Mm-hmm.
00:20:31I can be there later today.
00:20:33Yeah.
00:20:35Thank you so much.
00:20:36Yeah.
00:20:46Kristen.
00:20:48Strawberry for my favorite billionaire?
00:20:51Strawberry.
00:20:51Oh, Emily.
00:21:01I heard you say you were leaving.
00:21:04I'm so sorry to hear that.
00:21:05But it's for the best.
00:21:09It's not like you fit in.
00:21:11We didn't want you to feel like you were out of place.
00:21:13Or an outsider.
00:21:16Actually, I think I'll stay a little while.
00:21:19What?
00:21:21I have an interview at a photography studio.
00:21:23Really?
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:25The owner saw my work on Instagram,
00:21:27liked it, and then decided to reach out.
00:21:29Crazy.
00:21:30Right?
00:21:30Honey, that's wonderful.
00:21:33Well, I think congratulations are in order.
00:21:38So, the interview was actually this afternoon,
00:21:41and I don't exactly have a ride,
00:21:44so I was wondering if one of you could give me a ride.
00:21:47I can take her.
00:21:48Oh, what?
00:21:53Afraid to be alone with me?
00:21:57You know, if you wanted to spend more time with me,
00:22:00all you had to do was ask.
00:22:02You offered to drive me.
00:22:04Just wanted to be there for my stepsister.
00:22:07You seem so desperate.
00:22:12I don't exactly have a car.
00:22:14I mean, I need a big, strong man to drive me.
00:22:16That's not what I said.
00:22:21You seem so nervous.
00:22:25Victor is a world-renowned photographer.
00:22:28I mean, this might be my one chance.
00:22:32I really need this.
00:22:33I really need this.
00:22:37Not that you'd understand.
00:22:39I mean, you've had everything handed to you your whole life.
00:22:42You'd be surprised.
00:22:47Thank you for the ride.
00:22:50What are you doing?
00:22:52Opening the door for you.
00:22:54What a gentleman.
00:23:07Good luck.
00:23:25Why did I do that?
00:23:29Uh-huh.
00:23:30Mm-hmm.
00:23:31Yeah, that's crap.
00:23:34Shit, lady.
00:23:34Oh, Jesus.
00:23:41Oh, I can't save it.
00:23:47I want you to come work for me.
00:23:51Seriously?
00:23:53Yeah.
00:23:54I'd love that.
00:23:56Yeah, great.
00:23:57Can you, um, start tomorrow?
00:24:00Yeah, absolutely.
00:24:01I actually might have a family thing.
00:24:09You might?
00:24:10Oh, that's funny.
00:24:11I thought I was just offering you your dream job, so just let me know.
00:24:13You are.
00:24:14It is.
00:24:15It is.
00:24:16Yeah.
00:24:16I mean, if it's not that important to you, there are plenty of other people that would want the job.
00:24:19No, it is very important to me.
00:24:20Very important.
00:24:21I can make it work.
00:24:22Yeah.
00:24:23No.
00:24:23Good.
00:24:24Good.
00:24:24You know, because I don't usually take on apprentices.
00:24:26I tend to find them lazy.
00:24:28I promise I will work really hard.
00:24:32Good.
00:24:32Good.
00:24:33Of course.
00:24:35Look, if you're going to work for me, you're going to do what I say.
00:24:43Whatever I say.
00:24:51Oh, that's not the correct spoon for that.
00:24:54Don't let me stop you.
00:24:55Okay.
00:24:58I'd be lost without you.
00:25:01So much of this is so new to me.
00:25:04It all happened rather suddenly, didn't it?
00:25:07It must feel like such a whirlwind for you and Emily.
00:25:10Emily is able to adapt well.
00:25:12Is she dating anyone?
00:25:14Not really.
00:25:15Why do you ask?
00:25:17Oh, just curious.
00:25:19Well, as far as I know, she doesn't date much.
00:25:21Her photography is the most important thing to her.
00:25:24And if anything got in the way of that, it would really upset her.
00:25:29Good to know.
00:25:31I'm sorry?
00:25:33Oh, um, nothing.
00:25:36Just wouldn't want to do anything to hurt her in that way.
00:25:40How'd it go?
00:25:44Pretty good.
00:25:46You know, Victor is...
00:25:48Well, he's...
00:25:49Victor is what?
00:25:51Victor is intense.
00:25:53I mean, he's the kind of man who thinks that because he's a genius, gives him the right to behave however he wants.
00:26:00What do you mean?
00:26:01He didn't say or do anything inappropriate, did he?
00:26:03No, no, it, um, I think he just wanted to make sure I was serious about the job.
00:26:08I'm sure he gets a lot of fangirls that want to come in and waste his time.
00:26:15Oh, I didn't order this.
00:26:16I did.
00:26:19I thought we could celebrate you getting the job by taking you out for a drink.
00:26:25Taking me out?
00:26:27Is this a date?
00:26:28No, no, it's not a date.
00:26:35You're my step-sibling.
00:26:38That would be weird.
00:26:40Right?
00:26:41Mm-hmm.
00:26:43It's not a date.
00:26:44No.
00:26:45It's just a platonic sit-down between a step-brother and a step-sister.
00:26:49Nothing more to celebrate you getting the job.
00:26:53Oh.
00:26:56How'd you know I would get the job?
00:26:58Uh, obviously you would.
00:27:03I mean, you're so talented.
00:27:08I mean, it feels really good to have my work recognized, you know?
00:27:11And to know that I got the job because of my skill and my ability, not because of anyone else.
00:27:18Right.
00:27:19I mean, you probably feel the same too, right?
00:27:22What do you mean?
00:27:23I mean, your company's about to go public, a company you built on your own without your dad's help.
00:27:28If this were a date, I'd be pretty impressed.
00:27:33Well, good thing it's not a date.
00:27:38Good thing.
00:27:40Yeah.
00:27:40Uh, besides, um, it's been a constant fight trying to keep my father away from my company.
00:27:49He wants to merge.
00:27:51He says it's for my own good, but in reality, he just wants to control everything.
00:27:55Yeah, I guess we both have parents that want to control every part of our lives.
00:28:01Yeah.
00:28:03I just gotta get through this IPO without any scandals.
00:28:06I'll be okay.
00:28:07Well, to no scandals.
00:28:13No scandals.
00:28:17If we're trying to avoid scandal, do you think this is a little dangerous?
00:28:22I said no scandals.
00:28:23I didn't say no danger.
00:28:25Hey, wait, don't move.
00:28:37Okay.
00:28:46Well, let me see.
00:28:47No, no, no, no.
00:28:50It's not digital, so you're gonna have to wait.
00:28:58This isn't a date.
00:29:00Obviously not.
00:29:02Obviously not.
00:29:03Mm-hmm.
00:29:03This would be the moment I want to kiss you.
00:29:12And this would be the moment I'd let you.
00:29:23Shit.
00:29:27Dude, are you on a date with your stepsister?
00:29:31I have to take this.
00:29:32Is everything okay?
00:29:35Yeah.
00:29:36I'll just tell you about it at home.
00:29:38I'll get a ride share.
00:29:40Thanks.
00:29:41Are you insane?
00:29:43Going on a date with your stepsister?
00:29:45It's not a date.
00:29:46Uh, sure looks like one.
00:29:52Are you having me followed?
00:29:53Obviously.
00:29:54Like I said before, I'm protecting my investment.
00:29:57This is not a date.
00:30:00All right?
00:30:01All right, look.
00:30:02Yes, it may look like a date, but the truth is...
00:30:06I don't care about what the truth is.
00:30:07I only care about what it looks like.
00:30:09Why?
00:30:09Because everyone else only cares about what it looks like.
00:30:11Perception is everything.
00:30:13I know.
00:30:14Do you?
00:30:15Because I have a photo here that says you have no idea.
00:30:19I'm coming over there.
00:30:19Look, you don't have to come here.
00:30:21Yes, I do.
00:30:23Because someone has to make sure you don't fuck your stepsister.
00:30:26And in turn, fuck over this company.
00:30:30Dylan.
00:30:31Oh, Emily, come over and lend us a hand.
00:30:36Oh, I don't know.
00:30:38Please.
00:30:38I want to hear all about your interview.
00:30:41Oh, well, it was for an apprentice for a pretty famous photographer.
00:30:44Oh, wow.
00:30:46When do you hear back about the position?
00:30:48He actually gave me the job on the spot.
00:30:51Really?
00:30:52Mm-hmm.
00:30:52Oh, that's wonderful.
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:55Wow.
00:30:56So, that means you'll stay?
00:31:00Yeah, for a little bit at least.
00:31:02Well, if he's so famous, then what's his name?
00:31:06Maybe I've heard of him.
00:31:06Victor Ward.
00:31:08Hmm.
00:31:09I think I have heard of him.
00:31:12He has quite the reputation around here.
00:31:15Oh, yeah.
00:31:15What was that?
00:31:42Don't you have, like, ten other bathrooms in this place?
00:31:45We do.
00:31:50But this one has better company.
00:31:56Oh.
00:31:59Got a little, uh...
00:31:59W-X-Y and you've got Z.
00:32:14Hey, Zoe, it's me.
00:32:15Oh, it's the brother lover.
00:32:18Ugh, okay, that is gross.
00:32:20It's not my fault you've got the hots for your stepbrother.
00:32:23Can we talk about something else, please?
00:32:25You still haven't denied it.
00:32:27So, I am calling you from my new job.
00:32:30New job?
00:32:31Hey, that's amazing.
00:32:32Yeah, it's with Victor Ward.
00:32:34He's absolutely brilliant.
00:32:36Ward?
00:32:37Yeah.
00:32:38You heard of him?
00:32:39Uh, I have, actually.
00:32:41Em, listen.
00:32:42Please tell me you're not on your phone on your first day in my studio.
00:32:47Please tell me I'm not seeing that.
00:32:49I am so sorry.
00:32:53I assumed that since I had gotten here early, it might be okay because I hadn't clocked in yet.
00:32:57Oh, oh, that's so great.
00:32:58Oh, my God.
00:32:58I'm so sorry.
00:32:59I'm so sorry.
00:32:59I should have been thinking about your feelings.
00:33:01What was I doing?
00:33:02Okay, you know what?
00:33:03I'm going to take a little break, all right?
00:33:04Just, just, just hold on a sec.
00:33:06Have we clocked in now?
00:33:10Yeah?
00:33:10Okay, great.
00:33:11Okay.
00:33:12Tell you what.
00:33:12Here we go.
00:33:14Now, you're going to take all these.
00:33:16You're going to organize them by date and subject, okay?
00:33:20Let that sink in.
00:33:21Do me a favor.
00:33:22Try to ease off the phone breaks, all right?
00:33:24I'll see you in a little bit.
00:33:25All right.
00:33:28Okay.
00:33:36Well, don't tell me that you're done already.
00:33:42Wow.
00:33:43A star for you.
00:33:46Well, then, call me a miracle worker because I am done.
00:33:51Oh, yeah.
00:33:56It's just one box, and I'm actually going to need you to organize all of the boxes.
00:34:03So, why don't you handle that, and I'm going to, I'm going to go to lunch, okay?
00:34:14I'll see you in a bit.
00:34:15Okay.
00:34:16Toodaloo.
00:34:23Nice work.
00:34:24I usually give new apprentices pretty menial tasks on their first day just to see if they'll
00:34:29stick around.
00:34:31You're best.
00:34:32Thank God.
00:34:33I, I really would do anything for this opportunity.
00:34:38Well, that's great to hear.
00:34:40What do you say we go out and, you know, discuss what else you're willing to do for me over
00:34:43a drink?
00:34:47Uh, um, normally that would work, but like I said yesterday, I have a family thing tonight.
00:34:54You know, it's kind of important.
00:34:55Oh, well, I'm kind of important.
00:35:01Yeah, but it's my stepbrother's company's event.
00:35:04They're just finalizing all the arrangements.
00:35:06It's, it's important I'm there.
00:35:07You, you understand, right?
00:35:09I know, I mean, I know that this job is important to you.
00:35:12At least, you know, that's what you told me.
00:35:16You were telling me the truth, right?
00:35:18Mm-hmm.
00:35:19This job is important to you.
00:35:22It is.
00:35:23And, and, and I would, I would do anything for you, but, and I've already done everything
00:35:30you've asked, and you said I've done a great job.
00:35:32It's not true.
00:35:33I, I guess you just have to ask yourself, what else are you willing to do for it?
00:35:39Please let go.
00:35:41Well, just think about it.
00:35:43Why don't you clean up the rest of the stuff, then you can go.
00:35:50Oh, Preston.
00:35:51Hi.
00:35:52Victor?
00:35:52Mm.
00:35:55Thank you for, um, meeting me.
00:35:58So last minute.

00:36:08Okay.
00:36:09Uh, you know, oh no, you, you were right.
00:36:11It's talent through the roof.
00:36:14Um, but, uh, she's been rather resistant, uh, to my creative process.
00:36:25No way.
00:36:26I don't know how.
00:36:27Listen, I need an assistant who is solely focused on me, my work, my studio, the space.
00:36:37I just, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
00:36:43Okay.
00:36:43Need you to understand that.
00:36:45And, uh, she's just breezing through it.
00:36:48Uh, and I'm, I'm, I usually get what I want.
00:36:53I'll go talk to her.
00:36:58Just get her head on straight.

00:45:23before he has to kick you back there himself
00:45:26you're welcome
00:45:35and
00:45:36and
00:45:41and
00:45:46Hey, Ma'am, I was wondering, do you have anything I can wear for tonight?
00:46:05I don't have anything that's suitable, and I don't want to embarrass you or Mr. Langford
00:46:10or Preston.
00:46:12You don't know how much it means to hear you say that.
00:46:15I know.
00:46:17I really do love you, and I only want the best.
00:46:20It gives us so much more than I could ever give you.
00:46:24I know you love me.
00:46:26I have got the perfect dress for you.
00:46:34Preston?
00:46:35I've been thinking.
00:46:37Sounds like a pretty new experience for you.
00:46:41I don't think Emily should attend the gala tonight.
00:46:44And why is that?
00:46:45Because she's not like us?
00:46:50She's not a part of our world?
00:46:55You can see that, right?
00:46:58She's probably not going to attend anyways.
00:47:00Well, good, because you know she probably wouldn't fit in.
00:47:05Besides, it is better that you and your father keep your distance from Emily and Beatrice.
00:47:11I just want what's best for you.
00:47:16I always have.
00:47:19And once the IPO becomes a success, it'll just be you and me against the world.
00:47:27Like it was in the beginning.
00:47:33So, this is what girls from Preston's world dress like.
00:47:38I wonder if he'll like me in this.
00:47:43Wait.
00:47:45What am I doing?
00:47:48Preston's my stepbrother.
00:47:49I hope Emily attends the gala tonight.
00:47:52I should have bought her a dress.
00:47:54Or at least some jewelry.
00:47:57She doesn't need to sign her anything.
00:48:00She's beautiful.
00:48:01Just as she is.
00:48:03Dammit, stop!
00:48:05She's your stepsister.
00:48:09Emily, I need to talk to you.
00:48:10I know we're not supposed to feel like this.
00:48:17I don't.
00:48:23Oh, God.
00:48:25I'm so sorry.
00:48:27No, I am.
00:48:29What is it you want to talk to me about?
00:48:33I just wanted to let you know why all of this is so important to me.
00:48:39Okay.
00:48:40My father never believed in my company.
00:48:45Or me, for that matter.
00:48:47It was always my mother who encouraged me to do it all on my own
00:48:52and not be under my father's thumb my whole life.
00:48:55I get that.
00:48:58So, my company going public, as important as that is,
00:49:02it's really also about my mother's legacy.
00:49:04A way to keep her memory alive.
00:49:08Exactly.
00:49:08This could be my only chance to really do something on my own.
00:49:15Yeah.
00:49:16I understand that.
00:49:19I knew you would.
00:49:19Um, shoot.
00:49:28Can you help me with this?
00:49:30Uh, you know, I thought you wanted to do everything on your own.
00:49:52You didn't want anybody to help you with anything.
00:49:54Uh, maybe I wouldn't mind if you helped me today.
00:50:03Hmm.
00:50:04Hmm.
00:50:18What?
00:50:20It's so funny.
00:50:23Well, the last time we were this close,
00:50:25the zipper was going the opposite direction.
00:50:27Uh, Preston, are you blushing?
00:50:32Maybe.
00:50:34Hmm.
00:50:35Well, why don't you pretend I just have a swimsuit on under here?
00:50:40Now, see, when I said that,
00:50:42I wasn't wearing anything underneath it.
00:50:44I don't know.
00:50:45I don't know.
00:50:45I don't know.
00:51:03Hmm.
00:51:03now it's fair
00:51:11yeah
00:51:13yeah it is
00:51:33yeah
00:51:40yeah
00:51:44yeah
00:51:48yeah
00:51:54yeah
00:51:58yeah
00:52:01yeah
00:52:11yeah
00:52:16yeah
00:52:20yeah
00:52:25yeah
00:52:27yeah
00:52:29unbelievable when she's distracted do it
00:52:42you look so beautiful in your dress it almost makes me forget that when I met you you were
00:52:55the help when I first met you you were a leech
00:53:00too bad only one of us has changed
00:53:05Preston
00:53:06Preston
00:53:07I have an investor that I want you to meet
00:53:09be a doll and take care of my drink for me

00:53:17okay
00:53:20come
00:53:22You don't belong here.
00:53:51Excuse me?
00:53:52You heard what I said.
00:53:55It's probably better for you to just leave.
00:53:59Now.
00:54:10See, Preston?
00:54:12He belongs in this world.
00:54:17You never will.
00:54:19No matter how many
00:54:21fancy dresses you wear to pretend
00:54:23otherwise.
00:54:24But Cassie,
00:54:27see how perfectly she fits
00:54:31by his side?
00:54:34You can never do that.
00:54:37So stop trying.
00:54:39You're just embarrassing
00:54:41yourself.
00:54:42Hey, you are
00:54:46cute.
00:54:50And Preston was
00:54:51being really nice to you.
00:54:53Just
00:54:53to get laid.
00:54:57I mean,
00:54:57he would never
00:54:58go out with you in public.
00:55:00ever.
00:55:06Just think about that.
00:55:22Emily!
00:55:23There was a guest
00:55:26at the party
00:55:27and...
00:55:27I swear to God,
00:55:30do not ruin this
00:55:31for me.
00:55:33What?
00:55:34Do not
00:55:35cause a scene
00:55:36at the gala tonight.
00:55:37Mom,
00:55:37I'm not causing a scene.
00:55:39I am so sick
00:55:40of your excuses.
00:55:42Why can't you just
00:55:42try to fit in?
00:55:43We need this,
00:55:46Emily.
00:55:48Fine.
00:55:49Fine,
00:55:50whatever you say.
00:55:51You know,
00:55:51as long as it makes you
00:55:52feel more secure
00:55:53with your relationship
00:55:54with Mr. Langford
00:55:55and his money.
00:55:56See,
00:55:57I told you.
00:56:11Preston,
00:56:12please let me explain.
00:56:13Preston,
00:56:13I...
00:56:14Let him go.
00:56:15No,
00:56:15Mom,
00:56:15he thinks
00:56:17I'm after him
00:56:18and his father's money.
00:56:19It doesn't matter
00:56:20what he thinks.
00:56:21He's that important.
00:56:22As long as
00:56:23Lawrence and I
00:56:24are married,
00:56:25everything will be
00:56:25just fine.
00:56:26No,
00:56:27Mom,

00:56:42No,
00:56:42before you do that,
00:56:43can we just talk?
00:56:45Okay,
00:56:46I need to explain.
00:56:47You don't need to explain anything.
00:56:48I get it now.
00:56:49No,
00:56:50you don't.
00:56:50Okay,
00:56:50you misunderstood.
00:56:51It doesn't matter.
00:56:52It doesn't matter.
00:56:52Let's talk later.
00:57:00Let's commemorate this wonderful night.
00:57:02It really is
00:57:04a wonderful night.
00:57:06Honey,
00:57:07do you have your camera?
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:11Oh,
00:57:11yeah.
00:57:12You should take the photo,
00:57:13Emily.
00:57:13Is it this wonderful?
00:57:37Let's take some with the immediate family only.
00:57:41Oh,
00:57:42well,
00:57:42then I won't have to move,
00:57:44as I'll be a Langford soon.
00:57:47What do you mean,
00:57:48Cassie?
00:57:49Well,
00:57:50we didn't want to say anything
00:57:51with everything going on
00:57:53with Preston's company going public,
00:57:54but
00:57:55we're engaged.
00:57:57That's wonderful.
00:57:59I am so happy for you.
00:58:03Preston,
00:58:03is this true?
00:58:04Yes,
00:58:06it is true.
00:58:07We got engaged three months ago.
00:58:10But we didn't want to make any announcements
00:58:12until everything with the company was finalized.
00:58:15Congratulations.
00:58:16Proud of you,
00:58:17son.
00:58:18Thanks,
00:58:19Steph.
00:58:22Congratulations.
00:58:24Emily,
00:58:25snap away.
00:58:27It's true,
00:58:28you know,
00:58:29they were engaged.
00:58:32Preston asked her to marry him.
00:58:33Of course,
00:58:34that was before he found out
00:58:36she was cheating on him.
00:58:38But it looks like he's finally over it.
00:58:42I guess so.
00:58:43I guess so.
00:59:03Excuse me a moment.
00:59:22You're leaving now?
00:59:24You're engaged now?
00:59:26No,
00:59:27no,
00:59:28it doesn't concern me.
00:59:31You know,
00:59:34I thought you were different.
00:59:35I thought you were different.
00:59:37What does that mean?
00:59:38I heard you
00:59:39with your mother.
00:59:41What,
00:59:41you think I imagined that?
00:59:42No,
00:59:42you misunderstood what I said
00:59:44and then refused to listen
00:59:45when I tried to explain.
00:59:48Yes,
00:59:48it is true.
00:59:49We got engaged
00:59:50three months ago.
00:59:52But we didn't want to make
00:59:53any announcements
00:59:54until everything with the company
00:59:55was finalized.
00:59:57Congratulations.
00:59:58Proud of you,
00:59:59son.
01:00:00Thanks,
01:00:01Steph.
01:00:01Congratulations.
01:00:06Emily,
01:00:07snap away.
01:00:09It's true,
01:00:10you know.
01:00:11They were engaged.
01:00:14Preston asked her
01:00:14to marry him.
01:00:16Of course,
01:00:16that was before
01:00:17he found out
01:00:18she was cheating on him.
01:00:20But it looks like
01:00:21he's finally over it.
01:00:24I guess so.
01:00:25I guess so.
01:00:26I guess so.
01:00:26I guess so.
01:00:26I guess so.
01:00:26I guess so.
01:00:27I guess so.
01:00:27I guess so.
01:00:28I guess so.
01:00:28I guess so.
01:00:28I guess so.
01:00:29I guess so.
01:00:29Oh, my God.
01:00:59Excuse me a moment.
01:01:05You're leaving now?
01:01:06You're engaged now?
01:01:09No.
01:01:10It doesn't concern me.
01:01:15You know, I thought you were different.
01:01:17I thought you were different.
01:01:19What does that mean?
01:01:20I heard you with your mother.
01:01:23What, you think I imagined that?
01:01:24No, you misunderstood what I said and then refused to listen when I tried to explain.
01:01:28I mean, since the beginning, you've assumed I've been after your money.
01:01:33And you've been looking for every excuse to prove what you already know deep in your heart.
01:01:39That I'm not good enough for you.
01:01:42I'm not from your world.
01:01:44Yeah, I'm good for a good fun tumble with the help.
01:01:47But God forbid you were seen in public with me.
01:01:50God forbid I embarrass you.
01:01:51Are you done?
01:01:57Yes.
01:02:00I am so done with you.
01:02:04I mean, you've clearly sold your soul to the devil herself to make your business a success.
01:02:08Goodbye.
01:02:20Victor, what the hell are you doing here?
01:02:22I came to confront a thief!
01:02:26Apparently, Emily stole a very valuable ring that's supposed to be used in a photo shoot for tomorrow.
01:02:31What are you talking about?
01:02:33What ring?
01:02:34I'm not a thief.
01:02:35You can explain it to the police.
01:02:38Sure.
01:02:40Yeah, I bet they'd be very interested to know all the ways you've sexually harassed me since I started.
01:02:47You little bitch!
01:02:48All right, hey, look.
01:02:50This is not the time or the place for this.
01:02:52All right?
01:02:53Victor, if you think she stole something from you, you can talk to the police about it.
01:02:57Emily.
01:02:58No, I get it.
01:02:59Yeah, I wouldn't want to ruin your precious gala.
01:03:04But...
01:03:05But I am not a thief.
01:03:07I am not a gold digger, and I have never taken something I didn't earn on my own.
01:03:15If Emily never stole anything, then why don't you check her purse, Victor?
01:03:18Oh!
01:03:21Emily?
01:03:21Emily?
01:03:31Oh!
01:03:33Look!
01:03:34I knew!
01:03:36You were a thief!
01:03:37Oh!
01:03:38Oh, yeah.
01:03:39No, that ring was sitting on a stool for you to photograph tomorrow, exactly where you insisted I put it.
01:03:43Hmm.
01:03:44Victor, I suggest you press charges.
01:03:47Emily.
01:03:49Do you really believe I'd steal?
01:03:51Emily, the ring was in your purse.
01:03:55Who am I supposed to trust?
01:03:55Well, clearly you trust Cassie, who just happened to walk in and magically know where the stolen ring was?
01:04:01That is a ridiculous accusation.
01:04:04Emily, I went through so much effort to arrange her.
01:04:08He's the one that said you were...
01:04:09No, I don't care what he said.
01:04:09You...
01:04:10You didn't believe I was good enough to get the job of my own, so you bribed someone to hire me.
01:04:16It's not like that.
01:04:17Yes, it is.
01:04:22Wow.
01:04:26Yeah, this is really good to know.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33I have had enough.
01:04:35I quit.
01:04:36You fucking scumbag.
01:04:39Keep whatever money Preston bribed you with.
01:04:44Congratulations on your engagement.
01:04:45Why don't you use the ring you had someone steal from Victor as your engagement ring?
01:04:50It is just as ugly and tacky as you.
01:04:54How dare you?
01:04:56What in the world is going on?
01:05:01Take your business deal and choke on it.
01:05:05You...
01:05:05You shameless money hunting greed bastard.
01:05:12No, I...
01:05:13I can't believe I actually thought I was falling in love with you.
01:05:25Um...
01:05:25Ew, that's your stepbrother.
01:05:27Hey, I wasn't ready.
01:05:48Oh, damn.
01:05:49I look good.
01:05:50Yeah, you do.
01:05:52Well, you are a great photographer.
01:05:54No, clearly I'm not.
01:05:57Listen, I hate what that jerk face did to you.
01:06:02But...
01:06:03Just a tiny little but.
01:06:05It sounds like you really did love you.
01:06:08What?
01:06:09It's just everything he did for you to get that job.
01:06:13You mean bribing someone to hire me?
01:06:14I didn't say it was right.
01:06:16I'm just saying maybe he didn't express himself well.
01:06:20Or, in other words, maybe he was just being a guy.
01:06:24No, Preston thinks he can throw money to solve all of his problems.
01:06:27My stepsister is embarrassing.
01:06:29Let me throw money at it.
01:06:31Yeah, that really wasn't the best idea.
01:06:34I mean, it doesn't even matter.
01:06:36A company's gonna be a hit and...
01:06:38His lifestyle article's gonna come out and there's gonna be this perfect family there.
01:06:45And everyone gets exactly what they wanted.
01:06:48Except for you.
01:06:51No, didn't you know?
01:06:53I don't count.
01:06:55Not in his world.
01:06:57Hang on.
01:06:58I dare you say.
01:07:01What?
01:07:02Did you mean this article?
01:07:03New Wonderkin.
01:07:05Depressed in Langford.
01:07:06He's about to soar to new heights.
01:07:16I...
01:07:17I took this photo.
01:07:25That is a pretty good photo.
01:07:28We're closed.
01:07:29Sorry.
01:07:29Zoe, that's...
01:07:30I know who it is.
01:07:31I was just staring at his picture.
01:07:33Can we talk?
01:07:38I guess I'll go to the back and pretend that I can't hear everything I'm listening to.
01:07:44I would have been here a lot sooner, but...
01:07:46You were hard to track down.
01:07:49Zoe had to tag you in one of her posts.
01:07:55How was your launch?
01:07:57Not that you care.
01:07:58No, you're right, I don't.
01:07:59Well, the launch went really well.
01:08:02Despite everything.
01:08:04And, uh...
01:08:05Yeah, it was a huge success.
01:08:08Landed a lot of business partners.
01:08:11Investors.
01:08:13It's good to hear.
01:08:14Your mom would be really proud of you.
01:08:17Sure of that.
01:08:21No.
01:08:23She wouldn't have been proud.
01:08:26She would have been disappointed.
01:08:27Because I wasn't honest with you.
01:08:28Because I wasn't honest with you.
01:08:30And I chose business over love.
01:08:36Just like my father always did.
01:08:38Anyways, I just wanted to tell you I'm really sorry.
01:08:42And I was hoping that we could maybe start over.
01:08:47When you left, what you said about Cassie knowing where the ring was in your purse, it sunk in.
01:08:56I knew you were telling the truth.
01:08:58Dylan, he's the one who stole the ring the night at the studio.
01:09:03He planted it in your purse at the party to frame you.
01:09:06Security footage proves all of that.
01:09:12So what?
01:09:13Victor just went back to his studio?
01:09:14I reported him to the labor board.
01:09:17And many of his assistants have spoken out against him.
01:09:22There's a lawsuit in the works.
01:09:24And they're probably going to contact you about it.
01:09:26And he's probably going to lose everything.
01:09:28Wow.
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:33I just, I couldn't let him get away with treating you like that.
01:09:38I'm just so sorry.
01:09:40I didn't act sooner.
01:09:45What happened?
01:09:46You in a fight?
01:09:48Yeah.
01:09:51Dylan was bragging about what he said to you the night at the party.
01:09:54Needless to say, he's not my business partner anymore.
01:09:57I'm sorry.
01:09:58Why?
01:10:00Because he was your friend.
01:10:02He was never my friend.
01:10:04He just saw me as a cash cow.
01:10:07Typical.
01:10:10So listen, I'm going to be in L.A. full time.
01:10:13And I'm looking for a possible investment.
01:10:16Opportunity.
01:10:17I heard there was this hotshot photographer looking for a studio space.
01:10:21Just needs a little bit of seed money to get started.
01:10:23Have you not been listening to anything I said?
01:10:26You can't buy my forgiveness.
01:10:28I'm not buying your forgiveness.
01:10:30And this is not a handout.
01:10:32It's a legitimate business opportunity.
01:10:34And I expect you to operate like a business.
01:10:36Quarterly reports.
01:10:38And me.
01:10:39Being involved in the day-to-day operations.
01:10:41What do you say?
01:10:48Okay.
01:10:50Okay.
01:10:52Zoe.
01:10:54We're celebrating.
01:10:55Bring out your best champagne.
01:10:57Sorry, did you guys call for me?
01:10:59I can't hear anything when I'm back there.
01:11:00Just bring us the good stuff.
01:11:16I believe in you.
01:11:19You can do anything.
01:11:21You're good enough to do anything.
01:11:23You're good enough to do anything.
01:11:33Wait.
01:11:35Aren't you guys still step-siblings?
01:11:38Yeah, about that.
01:11:39Our parents are getting a divorce.
01:11:42What?
01:11:43My dad decided he wanted out.
01:11:46He's not a very great man.
01:11:48I'm sorry.
01:11:50It's totally fine.
01:11:52Honestly, my mom's not that great either.
01:11:54Oh, what a shame.
01:11:57We were such a good couple.
01:11:58Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:12:01You were still my step-brother.
01:12:03Hmm.
01:12:05But I fell for you before that.
01:12:07So did I.
01:12:12Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:12:42Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:13:12Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:13:14Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:13:16So would you love me when God gets that one of my friends quack?
01:13:17Oh, don't always joke like that.
01:13:17I missed out.
01:13:18Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:13:18Oh, don't you like to have to do anything?
01:13:19Oh, don'tuche.
01:13:20Oh, don't do those bad things.
01:13:20uy, don't do you like I am.
01:13:21Oh, don't necessarily.
01:13:22Oh, don't you like to buy me.
01:13:23Oh, don't even joke like that.
01:13:24Oh, don't joke like that.
01:13:24There's all games like that.
01:13:38So what we would have to find out for you when the wtih is done.
