03:23what are you doing here
03:24lily i called a cell again
03:27The place we stayed in, authorities in Belarus, hospitals, nothing.
03:35It's okay.
03:36You were with him.
03:37I know.
03:39How did he just disappear?
03:42He's done this before, Lily.
03:44Whenever he gets too close to someone, he's just...
03:49I just don't think he would stay away that long.
03:52He would have told me.
03:58Look, I'm so sorry.
03:59I'm so sorry, Lily.
04:01I just don't think he's coming back this time.
04:04Why?
04:06I warned you.
04:08I warned you that he was complicated.
04:10Didn't I?
04:12Ethan's the...
04:13The fear kind of a guy.
04:16You know, I'd do anything for you, right?
04:20Right.
04:25It's okay.
04:28I'm here for you.
04:37Who did you piss off, my friend?
04:45These visions, what are they?
04:49That, that, that, that, that, that, you don't even.
04:52The past?
04:54The future?
04:57Maybe just illusions.
05:06Hi.
05:07Hey.
05:09Look at that.
05:10You got all your favorite food out here.
05:12I'm not hungry, but, um, thank you.
05:15You can't keep doing this to yourself.
05:18And I don't want to be mean, but I think you've got to move on.
05:22How can you say that so casually?
05:24I thought you were his friend.
05:26I am his friend.
05:27What if you're wrong?
05:30Lily, you left.
05:31Something isn't right.
05:33I think about every single day.
05:37Lily, is this supposed to be Ethan, Lily?
05:41Lily, you're reaching here.
05:44Hey, Lily.
05:48He left you.
05:50And he left me.
05:52And he left us.
05:56And maybe, maybe you want something else for you.
06:01Something more.
06:03Huh?
06:14Okay.
06:18Maybe another proposition.
06:21I know that the art studio is bleeding you dry.
06:24This restaurant, I think, with your artistic flair.
06:28This restaurant up here, it's extraordinary.
06:32And I know that you need the money.
06:35Lily, I could give you $15,000.
06:37Just in advance.
06:38Right away, right now.
06:40In advance.
06:43I help you.
06:45And you help me.
06:50Is that a deal?
07:03Are they ready?
07:05You should be fired, all right?
07:07Get out of here.
07:12Ethan.
07:20Your favorite whiskey?
07:22Look, I...
07:24I called everywhere.
07:26I called the morgues, the hospitals, the authorities, Interpol.
07:29I mean, you name it.
07:30I've been in prison for three years.
07:34In Belarus.
07:37In prison?
07:38How is that possible?
07:39I don't know.
07:40You tell me.
07:42All of us were there.
07:44Don't you remember?
07:45You disappeared on me, Freddie.
07:47You disappeared on us, Ethan.
07:52You really don't remember, huh?
07:55I want...
07:56I did the setups, but I needed...
08:02Lily.
08:04I've missed you so much.
08:08You left me.
08:10You disappeared without saying a word.
08:12I was set up.
08:15Set up?
08:20I was set up.
08:22Set up.
08:26I knew it.
08:27I told you.
08:28I told you that what had happened and you did nothing.
08:31You did nothing.
08:32You did nothing.
08:33I...
08:33You did nothing.
08:34I was the one who was helping you, Lily.
08:36I warned you, Lily.
08:39Ethan is a fraud!
08:40You son of a...
08:44I'm so done with you.
08:47I'm going to show you something.
08:52This?
08:53It's from the Department of Justice.
08:55Oh, come on.
08:56This is ridiculous.
08:59Forgery.
09:00Money laundering.
09:02Oh, embassment.
09:03We have theft.
09:05I can go on, Ethan.
09:06Lily, I don't know anything about this.
09:08How do I know you're not acting?
09:11Ethan, what is this?
09:13How do you not know?
09:14What is this, Ethan?
09:15I don't know.
09:21I might know something that could help.
09:30This is the art dealer you were caught working with.
09:34Ethan, I think you should leave.
09:37For the sake of Lily.
09:39Lily, I'm sorry.
09:42I love you.
09:43Get out.
09:46Just get out.
09:50Freddy, just go.
09:59I've already planted seeds between the art dealer and other wealthy families that will
10:03lead him down the wrong path.
10:04That's how we exploit this.
10:06This wasn't supposed to go this way.
10:08What's the matter, Freddy?
10:09You afraid of a little competition?
10:11Look, I'm afraid that this thing might explode in our faces.
10:14The only thing that's going to explode is Ethan.
10:16You and I are going to tear him apart.
10:19His career, his future, his reputation, piece by piece, until there's nothing left.
10:26The only thing we have to worry about is this leading back to us.
10:29Understand?
10:31Is he going to take the bait?
10:32With his mind the way it is, he's desperate to know what happened.
10:35We gave him the gas.
10:36We gave him the matches.
10:37And all we have to do is sit back.
10:42And just watch him burn himself.
10:53Caroline.
10:54Ethan?
10:58Where have you been?
11:02I've been imprisoned.
11:04What?
11:05How come?
11:06What happened?
11:07I'm okay.
11:07I'm sure you probably have a million questions.
11:10Right now, I really need your help.
11:13I'll get someone to help you.
11:14It has to be you.
11:16I really need someone I can trust right now.
11:18Can you be there for me?
11:19Okay, sure.
11:20I was set up by an art dealer.
11:22What?
11:22I really need you to get to the bottom of anything you can find on this guy and who he's
11:27potentially working for.
11:29I'd love to help you, Ethan.
11:30But I'm just in the middle of the Venetian art fair.
11:33And we've been working on this gala for the last two years.
11:36I'll help you finish the art gala.
11:38I really need to get to the bottom of this.
11:41Sound good?
11:42Yeah.
11:42I have to go, Caroline.
11:43Thank you so much.
11:44I gotta run.
11:46I'll let you know, Caroline.
12:01I was at your art studio.
12:05Someone else lives there now?
12:07Well, I'm broke, Ethan.
12:08I had to sell it.
12:10What are you doing here?
12:12Haven't you done enough already?
12:14I can't...
12:15You know what?
12:16Doesn't matter.
12:17I don't know you.
12:21Haven't you done enough already?
12:23I can't...
12:24You know what?
12:25Doesn't matter.
12:26I don't know you.
12:29Don't even know you.
12:30Yes, you do.
12:31No.
12:31Yes, you do!
12:32No, I don't, Ethan!
12:33I've been waiting three years for this moment with you.
12:37What are you talking about?
12:38To show you what you've always known.
12:43When was the last time that you painted?
12:47What was it?
12:49It was me, wasn't it?
12:52Wasn't it?
12:59Am I going crazy?
13:00Please!
13:01You were lost.
13:02You were trapped and...
13:03And...
13:04And alone.
13:08I never should have left you.
13:22You need to go now.
13:32I bought our old studio back.
13:35Well done, Ethan.
13:38Well done.
13:40You like it?
13:41Yeah.
13:42You did always have an eye for talent.
13:47But...
13:48Do you think this will work?
13:50It has to.
13:58Maybe you can help her.
14:00Help her?
14:02How?
14:03Rediscover what she's lost.
14:05She's lost more than just her art, Ethan.
14:10You need to tell her eventually.
14:12And not just about you buying her this studio.
14:16Please, Ramona.
14:18I can't.
14:19Ethan, I can deal with not knowing everything that's happened to you.
14:22For now.
14:24At least until you remember more.
14:27But you need to tell her who you are.
14:29If you don't, she'll think that you're hiding other things and you will lose her.
14:34I've seen it happen before.
14:37I can't.
14:38I can't.
14:39I can't.
14:40I can't.
14:41I can't.
14:41These are beautiful.
14:45Oh, Lily.
14:46Thank you so much for coming and being in this on such short notice.
14:49Of course.
14:50You know, I've been kind of out of thought scene for a little while.
14:53But I was so surprised when you called me and I brought this.
14:58Oh, wow.
15:01Lily, this is spectacular.
15:04You know, we were just thinking about switching some of our pieces out and I think this would go great
15:08next to the door.
15:10Uh, Leo, could you please put this near the entrance?
15:15Oh, I just love the use of color here.
15:18That's so gorgeous.
15:19Um, excuse me.
15:21Hi, Sasha.
15:22I would love to introduce you to meet Lily here.
15:24She is-
15:25I was told that the space up front is for the artist who sold the most art this year at
15:29the gallery.
15:30Yes.
15:31Um, we did have-
15:32Um, and if you'll recall, that artist is me.
15:35Three years running.
15:39Lily, this is Sasha.
15:41And as she has just humbly mentioned, she is our most in demand artist here at the gallery.
15:47Congratulations.
15:48Uh, it's so nice to meet you.
15:50Are we just going to ignore everything I've done for this gallery?
15:53Sasha, we decided to diversify and I think that Lily's art is exactly what-
15:58Please.
16:00Experimental art is what you need to be looking for.
16:03This gallery could use more of that, not someone stuck painting the past.
16:10Sasha, we will hang your art adjacent to Lily's.
16:13We'll let the people decide what belongs in the gallery.
16:17Right.
16:25Oh, did you hear?
16:27Someone bought back your studio for you.
16:30Oh, you're joking.
16:32That's funny.
16:33That's-
16:35Are you serious?
16:38R-Really?
16:40Why?
16:41I don't know.
16:43Who?
16:44I don't know.
16:45Probably someone who really loves your art.
16:48They even renovated it for you.
16:52Oh, this is great.
16:53I think.
16:54Oh, yes.
16:55Oh, yes.
16:57Oh, yes.
17:08Oh, yes.
17:12Ethan.
17:16What is all of this?
17:23For believing me.
17:27I believe in you.
17:33I believe in you.
17:40These are beautiful.
17:43I'm so happy we got put back together.
17:47You did this.
17:49I know you did this.
17:51Now, why would you say that?
17:55Because no one else would understand how special this is to me.
18:03I don't understand how you did this.
18:06Where did you get the money?
18:08Are you a criminal like Freddie says you are?
18:10Why did you do that?
18:11I don't want you to be in debt because of me.
18:14No, I'm going to work really hard.
18:15I promise I'm going to repay you for-
18:17No, no, no.
18:18That's not what this is.
18:20Let's work together.
18:22Okay?
18:26This can be our second chance.
18:54Ethan, I need to tell you something.
18:57It's okay.
18:59I'm listening.
19:00I need you to believe me.
19:03I'll believe you.
19:07Do you remember when I told you that some people, they can see things that others can't?
19:14Well, I wasn't talking about other people.
19:16I was-
19:18I was talking about me.
19:19Lily.
19:20I see things and I know that sounds crazy, but I just need you to believe me.
19:23I know.
19:24Your first painting.
19:26I just keep thinking that maybe if I believed them, then you wouldn't have gone to prison and I-
19:33Maybe-
19:34I've put you through so much.
19:36Maybe this is all a little too much me being back.
19:39I don't want these visions.
19:41I don't.
19:43But they're real.
19:47It's taken me a long time to tell you.
19:54What's the matter?
19:58Lily, I want to be there for you.
20:01I do.
20:03I think I know just the place.
20:04My grandmother, she has this beautiful log cabin.
20:08No phones?
20:10No people.
20:12Exactly.
20:13It's beautiful, Lily.
20:16It's beautiful.
20:28I really did not know you were this much of a chef.
20:31Well, you know, you pick up a few things.
20:34Pick up where? Where'd you learn?
20:35In Europe, mostly in France.
20:36Yeah, kids.
20:38Tell me what ingredients you think the sauce needs.
20:42Not too much.
20:45Probably.
20:45Thank you, thank you, thank you.
20:57You're a culinary masterpiece.
21:09You are truly amazing. Do you know that?
21:15No.
21:16Isn't it amazing?
21:19Is this true?
21:25I'm just so glad to be here.
21:30Me too.
21:39I'm just so glad to be back here.
21:44Me too.
21:50You must tell your grandmother, thank you for letting us stay at the cabin.
21:54I will.
21:56To her.
22:10What?
22:13You're just so beautiful.
22:17Ethan.
22:23Now when I look at you, it feels like a home.
22:32Like you're the place I've been searching for all along.
22:36Lovers don't just meet sometimes.
22:40They're in each other all along.
22:47Lily?
22:50I have something.
22:51Just kiss me already.
22:56Lily?
22:58Lily?
22:59What's... Lily?
23:01Lily?
23:02Lily?
23:22Lily.
23:22Lily?
23:24Ethan, I had another vision.
23:27A vision?
23:27Um...
23:28Tell me.
23:28Tell me what you saw.
23:31You were in a castle.
23:34And Todd, Freddy, they were there.
23:41I was buying stolen art.
23:44Yeah, I acquired these after the war.
23:46Things were much simpler then.
23:48Acquired.
23:49More like looted.
23:51Priceless pieces, all of them.
23:53You'll never see a finer collection.
23:55The only problem is the money.
24:00That is a problem.
24:03Ethan, how about three instead of four?
24:23Let's get all four.
24:26Excellent.
24:27Let's go all in.
24:29We have a deal.
24:30We have a deal.
24:39I was buying stolen art.
24:45What?
24:47I was buying stolen art from the war with Freddy and Uncle Todd.
24:51What do you mean?
24:52I thought I was saving it.
24:56But they...
24:59Something really bad is going to happen.
25:02I don't understand, Ethan.
25:04Lily, I'm going to tell you everything about me.
25:07But right now, Lily, we have to go.
25:14Ethan, what is this?
25:20What is this?
25:21I'm sorry.
25:23I was going to tell you.
25:24I was.
25:26But you didn't.
25:29Why didn't you?
25:30The same reason you didn't tell me about your visions at first.
25:33I couldn't.
25:35I couldn't.
25:38Lily...
25:39Lily...
25:41I want to know the real you.
25:43And I want you to know the real me.
25:45No more secrets.
25:52Lily...
25:55I want to know the real you.
25:57And I want you to know the real me.
25:59No more secrets.
26:03I'm Ethan Waldorf of the Waldorf Empire.
26:12But I'm not the man in those headlines.
26:14Well, then why would you lie to me about it, then?
26:16I didn't want you to know me for what I have.
26:18I want you to know me for who I am.
26:21When I'm with you, I'm not Ethan Waldorf.
26:24I'm just Ethan.
26:26And that's the only version...
26:27I don't care about any of that.
26:28I care about you.
26:29Lily, Lily.
26:31Let me prove it to you.
26:33Lily!
26:35I can't.
26:41How can I believe anything you've said?
26:45I'm going to fix this.
26:47All of it.
26:51I'm going to prove it to you.
27:02The story is everywhere, Ethan.
27:04I know.
27:04We need damage control.
27:06I know.
27:07How's the Venetian art fair?
27:09Some of the exhibitors already dropped out.
27:11It's okay.
27:11We'll fill in the gaps.
27:12And your uncle Todd reached out.
27:14He's got a proposal.
27:16He wants to meet with you tomorrow.
27:17A proposal?
27:18With everything going on?
27:20He wants to address the elephant in the room.
27:22I'm sorry, Ethan, but Todd controls the art world.
27:25One call from him and the narrative changes.
27:27He wants the Venetian art fair to be more modern so that he can make more money.
27:32I went to Belarus to acquire the classics so we could have the most historical art of it ever.
27:38And obviously he didn't want that.
27:41He just wanted me out of the picture and the dealer just wanted my money.
27:46Are you saying Todd's behind all this?
27:50I think the last thing he wants is me hosting the gala.
27:53What if you're wrong?
27:54A public accusation against Todd would bury you.
27:58Ramona, can you book a meeting with Lily in the gallery?
28:01I want to hang her panties at the gala.
28:04And Carolyn, I booked that meeting with Todd.
28:07I got an elephant to address myself.
28:14You know, Lily, I understand what you're trying to do with your art.
28:22And I want you to succeed.
28:23I really do.
28:27After everything I've done for you, huh?
28:30I need you.
28:35You needed me.
28:37Remember?
28:38She doesn't need you anymore.
28:41She's got a nerve showing up here.
28:44Waldorf.
28:45Shouldn't you be hiding and avoiding humiliation?
28:48Tell me.
28:49What was it?
28:51Jealousy?
28:52Come on, don't flatter yourself.
28:54If you had kept your hands clean.
28:56You need to take a look at your own hands.
28:58Because they're soiled with guilt.
29:00You know what you did to me.
29:02And what you've been trying to do to Lily.
29:04But now,
29:06I know too.
29:13Come on.
29:14Aren't you even the least bit curious?
29:26Recognize those signatures on the transactions?
29:32Who has the painting?
29:37Look, I'm really sorry to the both of you.
29:42I, uh...
29:46Recognize the names on those transactions?
29:49Sorry.
29:52Who has the painting?
29:57Look, I'm really sorry to the both of you.
30:03We don't want your apologies, Freddie.
30:10We want my Uncle Todd.
30:22I want to start out by thanking you
30:25for offering to help with these.
30:27Anything you could do
30:28would be much appreciated.
30:30I'm glad to hear it, Ethan.
30:32Because if you let me,
30:34I'd like to steer this ship
30:35back on course.
30:37I'm listening.
30:41It's beautiful.
30:43And I see you with the same eyes.
30:45We always have.
30:48I've arranged a little,
30:50let's say,
30:52agreement with some
30:53prominent collectors.
30:55And this could be ours.
30:58A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
31:00Ethan.
31:02But if I'm going to help you out,
31:05I need to ask a favor of you.
31:07You cannot attend the fair.
31:10Let me put it another way.
31:12If you attend the fair,
31:14you and Lily will be in big trouble.
31:21If you attend the fair,
31:23you and Lily will be in big trouble.
31:26With your reputation being the way it is.
31:29Your association with artists,
31:32it'll end their career before it even starts.
31:35We both know how much you care about Lily.
31:38You don't want to do that to her.
31:41No, I don't.
31:44But I want her art in the fair.
31:46Ethan, please do not put me in this position.
31:50Her art is just as good as any of the other artists.
31:54Why do you think I was drawn to it in the first place?
31:56I am, I am trying to help you, Ethan.
31:59I'm probably the only person who is.
32:02Can't you see that?
32:03Well then help me with this, Uncle Todd.
32:06But why there's some interest in classical art?
32:09Weren't you always the one trying to push
32:10the Waldorf family empire to focus on modern art?
32:14You always said...
32:16I always said a prominent work is still a prominent work,
32:19regardless of influence, style, or error.
32:22The difference, Ethan, between you and I,
32:25is that I don't let my bias and idealism
32:28blind me from the future.
32:32I don't care what your reservations are
32:35about doing what I've asked you to do.
32:37But for your own sake,
32:40you better do it.
32:49I can't believe my art used to be in a coffee shop,
32:52and now it's here in this gallery.
32:55Lily, your work belongs here.
32:58It always has.
33:04Ethan, I have to tell you something.
33:08Part of me feels like...
33:10when you were gone,
33:12I kind of lost myself.
33:15And now it's just every day.
33:18It's getting harder,
33:20and it's harder to even just pick up the brush and...
33:25Tell me.
33:29Gal is in a couple days,
33:33I haven't finished the paintings yet.
33:39I think I lost my inspiration.
33:42I have something to tell you, too.
33:44My Uncle Todd
33:46doesn't want me to attend the gala.
33:49Why?
33:51He's trying to convince me
33:52my reputation's going to harm
33:54the other artists' chances
33:55of their work being seen.
33:59That's ridiculous.
34:00Your reputation is the only reason
34:02that my art is even here.
34:05But I need to finish
34:08the rest of the paintings.
34:11I think I know someone who can help.
34:16How could you let
34:17an art thief
34:18vouch for her work?
34:24I think I know someone who can help.
34:27Don't you think
34:28that this is going to hurt
34:29the reputation of the gallery?
34:31What do you mean?
34:32How could you let
34:33an art thief
34:34vouch for her work?
34:36Well, he's not a thief.
34:37And Lily's work speaks for itself.
34:41That's what yours does, too.
34:43So you really think
34:45this Master George guy
34:46is going to be able to help me?
34:48They don't call him
34:49Master George for nothing.
34:51He's tremendously knowledgeable
34:52and talented
34:53in classical art techniques.
34:56He has an uncanny way
34:58to inspire
35:00even the most uninspired.
35:02Kind of like you.
35:06Lily,
35:07you deserve this
35:09more than anyone else.
35:11It's time for your work
35:12to be seen.
35:20So let me guess.
35:22Still no response
35:24from Freddy, huh?
35:28Okay.
35:30Now we, uh,
35:31make sure that Freddy
35:32doesn't talk to anyone
35:33ever again.
35:52I just, I want it to be perfect.
35:56Art
35:56is about seeking perfection
35:58and beauty.
36:01But you can't be attached.
36:03See the difference?
36:05No.
36:13Let go of ego.
36:16Aim for a pure mind.
36:19Art should aspire
36:20to higher ideals.
36:21The ancients
36:23understood this.
36:25That's why they spoke
36:26of divine inspiration.
36:42Hmm.
36:47Welcome to surrender, Lily.
36:51Your entire life's journey
36:53is in your work, Lily.
36:56Now it's time
36:57to take it
36:57to the next level.
36:59True art.
37:01True art.
37:16I'm so sorry,
37:17Mr. George.
37:18I, I need to go.
37:24Lily.
37:25What's wrong?
37:26The victim,
37:27a 30-year-old male
37:28by the name of
37:29Frederick Dunn,
37:31was found shot
37:32it's Freddy.
37:34He's been shot.
37:36You cannot go
37:37to the gala.
37:37You cannot go
37:38to the initial gala.
37:39I cannot stand by
37:41and watch
37:42Todd
37:43soil my family's legacy
37:45with selfishness
37:46and greed.
37:48Really, people
37:49are getting hurt.
37:50I'm lucky to still have it.
37:51I care about you
37:53more than anyone
37:54in the entire world.
37:55I,
37:56I cannot live
37:57with myself
37:58if something happened
37:59to you
37:59and I could have
37:59prevented it.
38:00We've been down
38:01this road before.
38:02I don't think
38:03we can prevent it.
38:05Do you?
38:13Wow.
38:16I can't believe
38:17you're finally
38:18finishing them.
38:21the image
38:22is almost complete.
38:24It is.
38:26Yeah.
38:28Yeah.
38:30But you know
38:31what isn't?
38:32Our future.
38:35But I really think
38:36this is our
38:36shared purpose.
38:38It's about
38:39channeling our hearts
38:41and staying the path
38:44one step at a time.
39:01This is the summation
39:03of everything
39:03you've been working for.
39:04Everything we've been
39:06working for.
39:09And now you get
39:10to show it to everybody.
39:12Because of you.
39:16Because of us.
39:22Ethan,
39:23I'm scared.
39:29What?
39:31Tomorrow night?
39:32Are you sure
39:33we can do this?
39:41That's right.
39:42And let's make sure
39:43we have the VIPs
39:44well attended to.
39:45And make sure
39:46that no one
39:47gets in
39:48without my approval.
39:49Understand?
39:52I knew she couldn't
39:53finish what she started.
39:56Always nice to see you.
40:02What would you put
40:03there instead?
40:04Hmm.
40:06A real
40:07artist's work?
40:12Carolyn?
40:14A minute, please.
40:17Sasha's paintings
40:19would look nicely there.
40:21I'm sorry,
40:22but Ethan
40:22specifically requested
40:23that this goes there.
40:25It's Lily's last painting
40:26in the series.
40:27Ethan's not here right now.
40:29I am.
40:30But we all want
40:31the gala to be
40:31a success tonight,
40:32don't we?
40:33Remove Lily's paintings.
40:38Yes.
40:40Most certainly.
40:43Call me.
40:45Please talk to me.
40:49Ethan,
40:50your Uncle Todd
40:51was just here.
40:52He doesn't want
40:52Lily's last painting show.
40:54I know.
40:55In fact,
40:56he doesn't want
40:56any of her paintings shown.
40:57Do you both trust me?
41:00You do?
41:00Good.
41:04Because I have a plan.
41:14Are you okay?
41:16Must be.
41:18He's here.
41:21Name, please.
41:22Lily Austin.
41:23Lily Austin.
41:25Lily Austin.
41:27There you are.
41:29You're not on the list.
41:31Really?
41:32Is that so?
41:34You need to leave.
41:37Okay.
41:39I want to thank
41:41everyone of you
41:43for helping us
41:44celebrate
41:45our Venetian gallery
41:46this evening.
41:47We can truly
41:48fulfill our dreams.
41:49The Waldorf family
41:51has a history
41:51of doing just that.
41:52But as many of you know,
41:55forging such a legacy
41:58is not a simple feat.
42:00It comes with challenges,
42:03mistakes,
42:04and occasionally
42:06nephews.
42:12Is that so?
42:13You need to leave.
42:15I don't think so.
42:16I think there's
42:16a misunderstanding.
42:17We're definitely
42:18allowed in.
42:19Ma'am,
42:20you need to relax.
42:21Hey,
42:22don't tell her
42:23to relax.
42:24So you're telling me
42:25I can go in,
42:26but the owner
42:27of this gallery
42:28can't.
42:28You're telling him
42:29that he needs
42:30to leave.
42:31We're not going
42:32anywhere.
42:35Do we have
42:36to do this?
42:40We're not going
42:41anywhere.
42:44Do we have
42:45to do this?
42:47Come on,
42:47Lily.
42:56Don't worry.
42:57It's going to be
42:58all right.
42:59Ow!
43:00Because I have
43:01a plan.
43:02Stop!
43:04You're alive.
43:07Ready.
43:08I'm with you guys.
43:11Just in time.
43:20Now,
43:21I know
43:23recent headlines
43:25may have cast
43:25a shadow
43:26over tonight's
43:27affair.
43:29My nephew
43:31Ethan's decisions
43:32have raised
43:34questions
43:34about
43:36his judgment,
43:38about
43:39the values
43:40of our family.
43:44Let me
43:44reassure you
43:46that our
43:47family's commitment
43:48to integrity
43:49and excellence
43:50remains
43:52unshaken.
43:54In fact,
43:57it is
43:58stronger than
43:58ever.
44:02I have no more
44:04words.
44:04I do.
44:09I have no more
44:10words.
44:10I do.
44:12I do.
44:13I do.
44:23I do.
44:25I do.
44:37I think I can take it from here.
44:45Thank you, Uncle Todd, for your kind words.
44:51Thank you all for joining us this evening.
44:53As we celebrate art and legacy, a legacy built on truth.
45:00Truth has a way of resurfacing, no matter how deeply buried.
45:05Three years ago, our foundation uncovered a lost masterpiece, hidden for generations
45:12in private collections that hoarded away its brilliance.
45:16This piece is a symbol of artistry reclaimed.
45:23This piece is a symbol of artistry reclaimed.
45:27It's much more than just a painting.
45:30It's a bridge to the past.
45:32A pure, true symbol and lesson of forgotten ancient techniques.
45:40The artist worked on this for over a decade.
45:44Inspired by divine visions.
45:50Carolyn?
45:56I spent the last three years in prison, falsely accused of a crime that I did not commit
46:02to return this treasure to the public.
46:06The betrayal that sent me there was orchestrated by someone in this room tonight.
46:12This stage isn't only for celebration.
46:16It's about setting the record straight.
46:19The painting we will be unveiling tonight is Felipe de Champagne's The Enunciation.
46:30The piece that started it all.
46:51But tonight isn't only about reclaiming stolen art.
46:55No, it's about the journey that brought us here.
46:59Let me also introduce to you Wishes Unheard by Lily Austin.
47:21Tonight, the truth comes to light.
47:26And it pains me deeply to tell you all.
47:31It was my dear Uncle Todd.
47:35It was one who orchestrated my downfall to seize control of this organization.
47:42This cannot stand any longer.
47:50Uncle Todd.
47:55Uncle Todd.
47:57Do you remember those documents you had me send?
48:03Well, it turns out Freddie was a little helpful to just not only me, the authorities as well.
48:12The day of the original conference.
48:16You've got to be realistic.
48:19Uncle Todd.
48:20You were right about one thing.
48:22A prominent work is a prominent work regardless.
48:37You are a real artist.
48:40You are a real artist.
48:45Well, what an extraordinary night it's been.
48:52Tonight, we celebrate many artists and their various techniques.
48:59One artist in particular has not only demonstrated remarkable technique, but one whose talents have reactivated techniques of the past.
49:11So, ladies and gentlemen, it's my honor to present the Best Newcomer Artist Award to Lily Austin.
49:26Congratulations, Lily.
49:49It's everything you fought for.
49:53And now it's on display for everyone to see.
49:57It's everything we fought for.
50:00We wouldn't be here if you didn't see it.
50:02You know, the other night, I had a vision too.
50:08Oh yeah, a vision.
50:12Here, let me show you.
50:21This is it, huh?
50:23This is it.
50:26It's beautiful.
50:29So did you see.
50:50Lily, will you spend the rest of your life with me as my wife?
50:55Dad.
50:56There you go.
51:04Daddy.
51:05I hear you.
51:08Leave me.
51:11You did lie.
51:12Dad.
51:12Oh, no.
51:17I can't.
