00:05That one. You see it? The really bright one next to the weird zigzag shape?
00:10That's not a zigzag. That's Cassipopia. It's shaped like a W.
00:15Looks like a zigzag to me.
00:16That's because you don't pay attention in class.
00:18Why would I? I've got you to tell me everything after.
00:21Here, I made this in arts and craft. Nora Bennett said it was the worst one in the class, but
00:25I told her it's not about being pretty, it's about being strong.
00:28I triple-knotted it, so it'll never come off.
00:37Never?
00:38Never ever.
00:39Never ever.
00:50Chances are busy.
00:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:18Whoa, dude, you look totally not like you.
01:22Who are you and what did you do with Lila?
01:28Come on, bro, dance floor is calling.
01:43You didn't have to go through all this trouble, Lila.
01:45We're not fancy people.
01:53I want to show you something.
01:55Yeah, cool sunset.
01:57Lila, sweetheart, how long are you going to keep doing this to yourself?
02:01Doing what?
02:02You know exactly what.
02:04When are you going to tell that boy how you feel?
02:06You've been saying that since middle school.
02:08The right time doesn't come to you.
02:10You go to it.
02:10What?
02:11I will.
02:12When the time is right.
02:13Okay, okay, okay.
02:13I have news.
02:14Huge news.
02:15Life-changing news.
02:16What?
02:16I got it.
02:17The job in New York.
02:18Apex Athletic, their marketing trainee program.
02:20I start in three weeks.
02:21Elliot, oh my God.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Hey, babe.
02:24Yeah, it's official.
02:25I got it.
02:26I know, right?
02:27Tonight?
02:27Absolutely.
02:28Can't wait.
02:29Yeah, me too.
02:29Okay, see you soon.
02:30Bye.
02:35Okay, I can't hold it in anymore.
02:38You've been twidging since we sat down.
02:40Just tell me.
02:46I'm going to ask Serena to marry me.
02:50Wow.
02:51Elliot, that's a big step.
02:53I know, right?
02:54I've been thinking about it for months.
02:55She's the one.
02:56Lila, I can feel it.
02:57I mean, she's smart.
02:58She's driven.
02:59She's been, she's, you know.
03:01Yeah.
03:02I know.
03:03So?
03:04What do you think?
03:06Honestly, you're the person whose opinion matters most to me.
03:09You always have been.
03:12She'll love it.
03:13I'm throwing an engagement party.
03:15Saturday.
03:16The rooftop at the Meridian.
03:17You have to be there.
03:18Promise me.
03:20I promise.
03:29Lila?
03:30It's 2 AM.
03:31The engagement party.
03:32Saturday.
03:32I'm going to tell him the truth.
03:34I've been not sure for 15 years.
03:35And look where that got me.
03:36If I don't say it now, I'll spend the rest of my life wondering,
03:38are you sure?
03:39And if he doesn't feel the same way,
03:40then at least I'll know.
03:41And I can finally stop waiting.
03:44Never ever, right?
03:55You've practiced this.
03:57You know the words.
03:58Just say the words.
04:19Oh my god, love your dress.
04:21Who is it?
04:22Um, I made it.
04:23Shut up.
04:24You have to give me your card.
04:27Excuse me.
04:27I need to...
04:36Lila!
04:37You made it!
04:43Elliot.
04:45I need to talk to you.
04:46Alone.
04:48Can we...
04:49Yeah, of course.
04:50Is everything okay?
04:54Okay.
04:56So what's up?
04:57You sounded serious.
05:01Elliot.
05:03I need to tell you something.
05:05And I need you to let me finish before you say anything.
05:08Can you do that?
05:09Yeah.
05:10Yeah, of course.
05:10I have been in love with you since I was 12 years old.
05:15Not the friend kind of love.
05:16Not that you're like a brother to me kind.
05:18I mean, I have spent 15 years of my life waking up every single morning and the first thing I
05:23think about is you.
05:24Designed my first dress to impress you.
05:26Moved to New York to be near you.
05:28I have helped you pick out gifts and plan dates and I have sat through every phone call about every
05:33girl and I have smiled through every single one because having you in my life as a friend was better
05:38than not having you at all.
05:39But I can't do this anymore.
05:40I can't watch you marry someone else and pretend I'm happy about it.
05:43I can't stand next to you at that altar and not scream.
05:45So I'm telling you now.
05:46I love you, Elliot.
05:48I have always loved you.
05:56Lila.
05:57I...
05:58God, I don't...
05:59I don't know what to say.
05:59Say what you feel.
06:01You're my best friend.
06:02You're the most important person in my life outside of my family.
06:04You know that.
06:05But I...
06:05Lila, I've never thought of you that way.
06:07I don't...
06:07I love you, but not like that.
06:09And I'm engaged.
06:10I'm about to start a life with Serena.
06:12I can't...
06:12I know.
06:13I know all of that.
06:14I'm not asking you to leave her.
06:15I'm just asking you to know.
06:16I needed you to know.
06:18We're friends, Lila.
06:19The best kind of friends.
06:20Please, let's not ruin this.
06:21We can just pretend this didn't happen and go back to how things were.
06:24Can we do that, please?
06:25There you two are.
06:26Everyone's looking for the groom-to-be.
06:27What are we hiding out here for?
06:29Elliot's little childhood friend just gets so emotional at parties.
06:32Isn't that sweet?
06:51Elliot.
06:54Don't.
06:56I should go check on her.
06:59She just confessed her love to you at our engagement party.
07:02If you chase her right now in front of all these people, what message does that send?
07:24I'm here.
07:25I'm right here.
07:26He said to pretend it didn't happen.
07:29Fifteen years, Zoe.
07:30He wants to pretend it didn't happen.
07:46Fashion design assistant positions, Paris, France.
08:03I'm leaving New York.
08:04Don't look for me.
08:05I wish you nothing but happiness, Elliot.
08:19You know you don't have to do this.
08:21You could stay.
08:22You could-
08:22I can't stay, Zoe.
08:23Everything in this city smells like him.
08:26I'll go crazy.
08:27Paris is far.
08:28That's the point.
08:31You call me?
08:32Every week.
08:32I don't care what time it is there.
08:34Every week.
08:52The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
09:11The Henderson Gala is Friday.
09:12We should coordinate outfits.
09:14Can't.
09:14I have a shoot in the Lama until Saturday.
09:17Since when?
09:17That wasn't on the calendar.
09:23It came up last minute.
09:24You know how this industry works.
09:27You've had four last minute shoots this month.
09:29And you've had four late nights at the office.
09:31We're both busy people, Elliot.
09:33That's why this works.
09:57Oh, good.
09:57You found it.
09:58I've been looking everywhere.
09:59You got an email.
10:01From the Ryland Group.
10:03Hmm?
10:04Oh, probably some PR outreach.
10:06They've been trying to get me your campaign.
10:07You know how these brands are.
10:09They email everyone.
10:09Come on.
10:32How long?
10:33How long have you been doing this?
10:41I need to bring something to the board's attention.
10:43I have evidence that Serena Hall has been...
10:51You already know.
10:52Sit down, Elliot.
10:53They're the same family.
10:54Serena and Damon, they've been...
10:56I said sit down.
10:57The board has been made aware of certain irregularities in your department's dealings with external partners.
11:03Documents bearing your signature have been flagged.
11:05We are initiating a formal investigation.
11:07Those signatures are forged.
11:09I never authorized any of those agreements.
11:11Serena...
11:11Your personal relationships are not the board's concern.
11:13The documents exist.
11:14Your name is on them.
11:16Until the investigation concludes, you are suspended from all duties, effective immediately.
11:38I'm sorry, man.
11:39I just can't be associated with...
11:41You understand?
11:56No graceful way to say this, so I won't try.
11:58You were useful while you lasted.
12:00The ring doesn't fit my new life.
12:01Don't contact me.
12:13The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
12:16I'm sorry, Layla.
12:35No, no.
12:35I said the Silk Organa in Midnight, not Navy.
12:38They're completely different.
12:39Pull the Midnight from the Lila warehouse and get it to me by Thursday or I'll go to Tesseti.
12:43Yes.
12:44Merci.
12:45Lila.
12:45Vogue Paris wants to confirm the feature shoot for next week.
12:48Also, the buyer from Galerie Lofa called three times.
12:50Tell Vogue yes.
12:51Morning slot only.
12:52I need the afternoon light for the collection.
12:54And tell Galerie Lazard I'll call them back when the collection is ready, not before.
13:00Better?
13:07Lila.
13:08Lila.
13:09Lila.
13:10The New York Fashion Week organizing committee.
13:12They sent a formal invitation.
13:13They want you.
13:14A solo showcase.
13:15The Skylight Pavilion.
13:17Three years.
13:18Three years of learning how to live without you and all it takes is two words on a piece
13:21of paper to make my hands shake.
13:23Are you okay?
13:24Tell the committee yes.
13:26We're going to New York.
13:32Lila.
13:33Lila.
13:33Lila.
13:34Lila over here.
13:34How does it feel to be back in New York?
13:36It feels like coming home.
13:38And no, you'll have to wait for the show like everyone else.
13:44Two interview requests already.
13:46LUS and WWD.
13:47And the hotel confirmed the penthouse suite.
13:49Take the WWD interview.
13:51L can wait.
13:51No personal engagements outside of work while we're here.
13:54No old friends, no reunions, no distractions.
13:56We're here for the show.
13:57That's it.
13:57And in fashion news, internationally acclaimed designer Lila Shin, founder of the Wildfire
14:02label, has arrived in New York.
14:04Lila, is there anyone in New York you're most looking forward to seeing?
14:07And it's a Queen's in very yak snow.
14:10No one in particular.
14:35The lighting needs to shift from cold blue to warm gold at the midpoint.
14:39I'll talk to the LD.
14:41What about the seating?
14:42Keep it intimate.
14:43I'd rather have 200 people who can't breathe than a thousand who feel nothing.
14:58Lila.
15:00Elliot.
15:01Lila, I...
15:02Lila, I...
15:03Sophie.
15:03Could you please have security escort this gentleman out of the backstage area?
15:07He doesn't have the correct credentials.
15:13I know I don't deserve a minute of your time, but Lila, you look incredible.
15:45I know you don't want to see me, I know I have no right to be here.
15:48Then why are you here?
15:49Because I owed you something for three years, and I'm not going to send it in a text.
15:53I'm sorry, not for what I said on that balcony, though God knows I'm sorry for that too.
15:56I'm sorry for every day before it.
15:57Every time you looked at me and I didn't see you.
15:59Every time you showed me who you were and I was too stupid, too comfortable, too blind to notice.
16:03I'm not here to ask for anything.
16:04I just need you to know that I see it now.
16:07Everything I missed, and I'm sorry.
16:09Thank you for the apology.
16:10You can go now.
16:11I know you built all this without me, and I know that's exactly how it should be.
16:13I'm not here to take credit for who you became.
16:14I'm here because the person you became deserves the apology the person I was should have given years ago.
16:42What do you mean held at customs?
16:44Those fabrics were cleared two weeks ago.
16:46There's been a flag on the shipment.
16:48It could take up to three weeks to resolve.
16:50I don't have three weeks. I have ten days.
16:52It gets worse.
16:54Morelli Textiles just pulled out.
16:55Their legal team says the customs flag creates unacceptable liability exposure.
16:58They're terminating the supply contract.
17:00Morelli is providing 70% of our core fabrics.
17:02I know.
17:02So you're telling me that in ten days,
17:03I'm supposed to produce a full collection for the most important show of my career
17:05with 30% of my materials?
17:07I'm telling you, we need a miracle.
17:09Or we need to pull the show.
17:10We are not pulling the show.
17:12Get me a list of every alternative supplier on the East Coast.
17:15Every single one.
17:16I don't care if they're in a basement in New Jersey.
17:19I'll sew the damn fabric myself if I have to.
17:24Hans?
17:25Elliot Reynolds.
17:26Yeah, I know it's late. I know what you've heard.
17:27Listen, I need a favor. Not for me.
17:29It's a designer, Lila Chen.
17:31Wildfire label.
17:31She's got a customs nightman.
17:32She needs premium silk organon by the end of the week,
17:34the midnight series from your Zurich stock.
17:35I know it's short notice. I know what I'm asking.
17:36Consider it the last favor I'll ever call in.
17:38Thank you. Thank you, Hans.
17:43Hello.
17:43Miss Chen's Eric Lindelman, Asia Pacific Director for Lindstrom Textiles.
17:46I'm calling to inform you that a complete alternative fabric package has been arranged for your collection.
17:49Silker Gaunt, Duchess Satin, and Volcrete.
17:51All premium grade.
17:51Shipment is already en route.
17:52You should have it within 48 hours.
17:54Who arranged this?
17:56A gentleman by the name of Elliot Rolls.
17:59He contacted our entire supply network overnight.
18:07The Lindstrom fabrics arrived tonight.
18:08James says we can resume cutting by tomorrow morning.
18:11Also, there was a man at the front desk this morning.
18:12He left this.
18:13Tell Restoration that if Carter Reynolds contacts any member of my team
18:16or attempts to access any of our venues, he has to be politely.
18:18He did just solve our supply crisis overnight.
18:20I didn't ask him to, and I'm not going to be the woman who falls apart
18:21because a man decided to play hero after we spent a decade ignoring her.
18:24Crystal clear.
18:25Are you clear?
18:37Not happening.
18:38Richard, I know we go back.
18:39I'm not asking for a freebie.
18:40I'm asking you to honor the original space allocation for the Wildfire Show.
18:43She earned that slot.
18:44Elliot, the sponsor backed out.
18:45I'll cover the difference.
18:46You? With what?
18:47I still have some consulting income, and I have relationships in the sense I've got, Richard.
18:49That should tell you something.
18:50You're going to go broke doing this.
18:51Probably.
18:51She must be something.
18:52She always was.
18:53I just didn't see it.
18:54This doesn't make sense.
18:55The budget didn't change.
18:56How did we get bumped up?
18:57Stop it.
18:58He's doing what he always does.
19:00Showing up when it's convenient, when it makes him feel like the good guy.
19:03It doesn't mean anything.
19:04It can't.
19:17The storage site is flooding.
19:18The walls are failing.
19:19Everything is in there.
19:20All 28 looks.
19:21The runway set pieces.
19:22The lighting rigs.
19:23If we don't move at all to the main venue basement, in the next two hours, we lose everything.
19:26Where's the crew?
19:27Scattered across the city.
19:28I've called everyone.
19:29Earliest anyone can get here is 45 minutes minimum.
19:31I'm on my way.
19:42Why?
19:43Why do you keep doing this?
19:44You had your chance to care, and you threw it away.
19:46You don't get to show up now and be this person, but you're here, in the rain, and nobody asked
19:51you to be.
20:01No!
20:23Oh, Elit, you can't be serious.
20:26You were supposed to stay down, you were supposed to disappear quietly and let the story end the way I
20:30wrote it.
20:30But instead, you're crawling back to the one person who could help you rewrite it.
20:33That's not something I can allow.
20:35Darling, it's me. I need a favor. I need everything you can get me on Elliot.
20:38Recent contacts, texts, emails, anything.
20:40Yes, I know that costs extra. Since when has that been a problem?
20:42Good. And I need it by tomorrow. This is time sensitive.
20:48I have something huge. Elit Hayes and the wildfire designer.
20:51But you didn't get it from me?
20:59You know what the best lies are, Elliot?
21:02The ones that sound exactly like something you'd do.
21:17The RSPs are through the roof.
21:19Anna's office confirmed. Three major buyers from Asia.
21:22And the Times wants to do a backstage feature.
21:25Good. Let's make sure we give them something worth writing about.
21:32Lila, you should see this. There's more. It's on three different platforms already.
21:36Fashion Twitter is...
21:36Stop! How thorough?
21:37Lila, we don't know if this is real.
21:39It looks real.
21:40The message patterns, the way he writes, the time stanks match when he started showing up.
21:43It all fits. Just steps in a plan.
22:12Serena.
22:13Serena.
22:20Emile, this is Elliot Reynolds. We spoke before.
22:24I need your help again.
22:25The same people who tried to use your name to attack Lila Chen are escalating.
22:29Yes, it's the same source. I can prove it.
22:31But I need you to go on record.
22:32I know it's a risk. Because she doesn't deserve this.
22:34No one does, but especially not her.
22:37Tell me what you need.
22:42Lila, the story's collapsing.
22:43A journalist from Business of Flight just published a full debunk. The screenshots were faked. The accounts that posted them
22:49are connected to Ryland Group.
22:50There's a statement from the designer confirming no plagiarism. Everything about the smear. It was manufactured. All of it.
22:55The Fashion Week committee just called. They're issuing a statement of support for wildfire. They're calling the attack an unextenable
23:00attempt to undermine creative integrity. This might be better for us than if the attack never happened. The sympathy wave
23:04is massive.
23:05Lila, the debunk article mentions that the counter-evidence came from an anonymous source with deep knowledge of the Ryland
23:09Group's operational methods.
23:11Every time I build a wall, you find a way through it without even knocking.
23:14You don't ask to be let in. You just stand outside and make it impossible to forget you're there.
23:19And the worst part, the absolute worst part, is that I still don't know if it's because you love me
23:22or because you can't stand being the villain of someone else's story.
23:32I'm not going to thank you for the supply chain. Or the venue. Or the storm. Or the article.
23:40I didn't come here looking for a thank you.
23:42Good. Because you already got your three words.
23:45Yeah, I did. Best text I ever received.
23:47Why did you do all of it? And don't say because I owed you or because it was the right
23:50thing to do. I want the real answer.
23:52Because when I saw you on that TV screen in a convenience store in Queens, standing in an airport looking
23:55like you'd conquered the whole damn world,
23:56the first thing I felt wasn't pride and it wasn't jealousy. It was grief.
23:59I grieved the fact that I had the most extraordinary person alive standing right next to me for 15 years
24:03and I treated her like furniture.
24:04You were always there, so I never looked. And by the time I wanted to look, you were gone.
24:07I didn't help you to win you back. I helped you because you needed help and I was able to
24:10give it.
24:10And because spending 15 years as your friend and not noticing you is something I will regret every day for
24:13the rest of my life.
24:15I can't undo that, but I can make sure that the next time you need someone, I'm the first person
24:19through the door, even if you never let me pass the hallway.
24:22Tell me about Queens. What happened with the job?
24:24Serena happened. She and her brother Damon Hale were running a long game.
24:27Used my position, my access, my name. By the time I figured it out, the board already had a stack
24:31of forged documents with my signature.
24:32I was out in a day. Nobody would touch me after.
24:34And now?
24:34Now I do freelance consulting. Small companies, mostly. Startups that can't afford anyone better.
24:38I've got a studio apartment and a coffee maker that works about 60% of the time. The coffee maker
24:40is honestly the hardest part.
24:41You always did make terrible coffee.
24:42Excuse me, my coffee was legendary.
24:43Your coffee was a war crime.
24:44I read the letter you left with Sophie. The short one from last week. Just being near you is enough.
24:50It isn't enough. Not for me. Not anymore.
24:53But I don't know what is, and I need you to give me time to figure that out. Can you
24:56do that?
24:57I can do that.
24:57Don't disappear on me again, Elliot. Not now.
25:10Is it just me, or do those two act exactly like my parents before they admitted they were back together?
25:16Focus on your hemlines, please.
25:30The full package. Send it to Lila Chen's production manager directly. I'll text you the contact.
25:35And push it to Lux Confidential, Fashion Underground, and the Cut's Tips line simultaneously.
25:39I want it everywhere before she can respond.
25:41No, not the plagiarism angle. That's burned.
25:43Use the new material. Yes, the relationship angle. Make it personal. Make it hurt.
25:47Lila, we need to talk. Now, in private.
25:54It's on three platforms already. And this time it's not just screenshots. There's a document trail. It lie looks, it
26:00looks comprehensive.
26:01He told me to give him time. I gave him time. He told me to trust him. I was starting
26:06to. Where is he?
26:07Loading dock. Moving the last of the lighting rigs.
26:16Hey. I think we're almost...
26:18Explain this.
26:22This is fake. Lila, every word of this is fabricated.
26:26This is Serena. This is exactly what she did to me at Apex.
26:28She forges documents. She creates narratives. I never wrote any of these messages. I never signed this agreement. You have
26:34to believe me.
26:35I have to believe you?
26:37Because it's the truth!
26:38The time stacks on these messages correspond exactly to the days you showed up at my venue.
26:42The consulting agreement is dated the week you solved my supply chain crisis.
26:46The language in these chats matches the way you actually talk, your observations, your sentence patterns.
26:50Everything lines up, Elliot. Everything.
26:52Because she knows how I talk. She lived with me for three years. She forged my signature so well that
26:56a corporate board couldn't tell the difference.
26:58This is what she does, Lila. She builds traps that look like truth. Please, let me prove it. Give me
27:0348 hours and I...
27:04You don't get it. It doesn't matter if this is real or fake. Do you understand that? It doesn't matter.
27:08Of course it matters.
27:09No. It doesn't. Because the fact that I can't tell... The fact that I look at this evidence and I
27:13genuinely cannot determine whether the man standing in front of me is real or performing,
27:17that tells me everything I need to know. About us. About what we are. About what we've always been.
27:22Three years ago, you stood on a balcony and told me to pretend my feelings didn't exist.
27:28And I flew across an ocean to survive it.
27:32I rebuilt myself from nothing.
27:34I made something beautiful out of the worst night of my life.
27:37And then you walk back into it and I let you.
27:40Inch by inch, I let you back in.
27:43Because some stupid, stubborn part of me still believed that underneath everything,
27:47you were the boy on the bench who gave me a bracelet and said,
27:50Never, ever.
27:52You will always do this, Elliot.
27:54You will always only know what you had after you've lost it.
27:56And you will always show up just in time to make me believe things could be different.
27:58But they're not. They never were.
27:59And I am so, so tired of being the person who waits for you to see what's right in front
28:03of you.
28:03Don't come to the show. Don't call. Don't help.
28:05Just let me go. For real this time.
28:36I am so, so tired of being the bee.
29:05Wow!
29:19Hey, it's Elliot.
29:20I need to book a flight to Paris, one way, tonight if possible.
29:23Yeah, I know it's expensive.
29:24Put it on the business account.
29:25No, I'm not sure when I'll be back.
29:27Whatever it takes.
30:04No, I'm not sure when I'm back.
30:27No, I'm not sure when I'm back.
30:37This is...
30:41The Chambra is asking for a formal decision by end of day.
30:44If we're withdrawing, they need to reallocate the slot.
30:46They're sympathetic, but they have other designers waiting for exactly this kind of opening.
30:51How much of the collection is salvageable?
30:53Maybe six pieces out of 28.
30:55How long to rebuild from scratch?
30:57With our current resources, eight weeks minimum.
30:59We have 12 days.
31:00Lila, no one would blame you for pulling out.
31:01You can regroup.
31:02Show next season.
31:03If I pull out, they win.
31:05Whoever did this, Ryland, Serena, all of them, they win.
31:07And the next designer they don't like, they'll do the same thing because they'll know it works.
31:11I'm not pulling out.
31:11Then we need a miracle.
31:13We need materials.
31:14We need additional seamstress.
31:15We need a production pipeline that doesn't exist.
31:16Then we build one.
31:17Payments, fizz, and tarfonsor.
31:18I don't do it to myself from Braxel.
31:20Then we build one.
31:25I can't do this alone.
31:27There's someone here.
31:28He says he has a delivery, but he won't give it to anyone except you.
31:43How did you pay for all of this?
31:48It doesn't matter.
31:49It doesn't matter, Lila.
31:50What matters is that you have 11 days and you have everything you need.
31:53I'm going to go now.
31:54The seamstrips will report here at 7 a.m.
31:56Sophie has their contact information.
31:57This is for you.
31:58Read it whenever.
31:59Or don't.
32:01Wake the team.
32:02We start tonight.
32:28Day 7.
32:30Day 9?
32:31Yeah!
32:46He gave me everything.
32:48Not to win me back.
32:49Not to prove a point.
33:19He gave me everything because I needed it.
33:21He gave me everything and choosing them.
33:22I didn't do this so you'd love me.
33:24I did this because you taught me what it means to love someone even if they never love you
33:28back.
33:29Go set the world on fire, Lila.
33:32That's what you were always meant to do.
33:34See?
33:46Five minutes to do this.
33:47Five minutes to doors, house is packed, standing room only.
33:49Lila, everyone is here.
33:51Then let's give them something they'll never forget.
34:03Extraordinary.
34:05Extraordinary.
34:24I spent the first half of my life with you right beside me and I never once looked.
34:27I was so busy de-chasing things that shined that I missed the person who was the light.
34:31You don't need me to tell you you're extraordinary.
34:33The whole world already knows.
34:34You built an empire out of heartbreak and turned everything I destroyed into something
34:38beautiful.
34:40I'm standing here because I spent half my life not seeing what was right in front of
34:43me and I want to spend the other half making sure you never doubt not for one second that
34:46you are the most seen, most known, most loved person in any room you walk into.
34:50I was your best friend and I failed at it.
34:51Let me try again.
34:52Not as your buddy.
35:00Three weeks later, the court is now in session.
35:03Serena, you are charged with commercial fraud and sabotage.
35:08The evidence is overwhelming.
35:13Ms. Chan, following the unprecedented success of your show and the revelations about the
35:17sabotage campaign, can you comment on the future of Wildfire?
35:20Wildfire will continue to do what it's always done, create beauty out of adversity.
35:24And I'm pleased to announce that we'll be expanding our operations with a new strategic
35:27partner.
35:28Wildfire has entered into a long-term marketing and brand strategy partnership with Restart
35:31Sports Marketing.
35:32Their founder has demonstrated a level of integrity, resourcefulness, and commitment that aligns
35:36perfectly with our value.
35:36The founder of Restart, that's Elliot Ronalds, correct?
35:38There were allegations that Elliot Ronalds was the victim of the same fraud operation
35:42that targeted my brand.
35:44Those allegations have been thoroughly abuffed and the perpetrators are facing criminal charges.
35:48Any further questions about Mr. Ronalds' character can be directed to his work, which speaks
35:53for itself.
35:57Remember when you told me that tree was ugly?
36:00I was seven.
36:01I didn't know anything.
36:02And now?
36:03Now I think it's the most beautiful tree I've ever seen, because it's still here, after
36:07everything.
36:08Still growing crooked.
36:10Did you seriously?
36:11Nora Bennett still would have given me an F. Never, ever.
36:14You know, when you said that the first time, I believed you.
36:16I was seven, and I believed you completely.
36:18And now?
36:19Now I'm 27.
36:22And I still believe you.
36:23I didn't believe you.
36:24We'll be back.
36:24Let's do it.
36:25Let's do it.
