00:00:00Henry Vaughn.
00:00:01His first public appearance.
00:00:02We need something big.
00:00:04Now I'll find Henry Vaughn and stop him.
00:00:07Now, what does he look like?
00:00:10What?
00:00:11What's happening?
00:00:11I'm going to take you for a ride.
00:00:15Oh my God!
00:00:16It's my new girlfriend!
00:00:17Ten things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart,
00:00:21Lila Collins.
00:00:22We'll have leverage to negotiate with Henry Vaughn.
00:00:24I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:00:26No.
00:00:27Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:00:28You humiliate this family!
00:00:31You did what?
00:00:32The only way to kill a rumor is to start another one.
00:00:34I never knew it carried a spiral like this.
00:00:37The second Starlight Home would be gone, so would you.
00:00:40Lila, you don't know him.
00:00:46I hate him, and I hate myself.
00:00:56For just one fleeting moment, I wished it was real.
00:00:59What do you say?
00:01:02Beyoncé?
00:01:15I got this.
00:01:17I belong here.
00:01:29Hey, do you know who she is?
00:01:32No clue.
00:01:34I've never seen her before.
00:01:38How's everything?
00:01:38You got a plan?
00:01:39Anya, I'm in.
00:01:41Now, I'll find Henry Vaughn and stop him.
00:01:43He's not getting his hands on our orphanage.
00:01:45Oh.
00:01:49Now, what does he look like?
00:01:52Mr. Vaughn.
00:01:53It's such a pleasure.
00:01:57We go live in ten minutes.
00:02:01I'll be back shortly.
00:02:06I can't believe we're talking to Henry Vaughn.
00:02:09Oh, my God!
00:02:10His first public appearance!
00:02:12No one has ever seen him before this.
00:02:15He screams headlines.
00:02:17We need something big.
00:02:18Yeah, I'll confirm after you, okay?
00:02:21All right?
00:02:29No sign of Henry Vaughn.
00:02:31Where is he?
00:02:36What?
00:02:36What's happening?
00:02:37Probably just a glitch.
00:02:38You okay?
00:02:39My hair, it's stuck to your shirt.
00:02:42Can you please help?
00:02:43Hold still.
00:02:44Stop yanking.
00:02:45I'm not yanking.
00:02:46Be patient.
00:02:47Oh, please.
00:02:48That's so rough.
00:02:49Oh, please, just be slow.
00:02:50Come on.
00:02:51Come on, faster.
00:02:53Hey, you may want to hear this.
00:02:58You're stepping slow.
00:02:59Come on.
00:02:59Be patient.
00:03:00I can't help it.
00:03:01Help!
00:03:02I'm so sorry.
00:03:02Did that hurt?
00:03:04Just take off your shirt.
00:03:05In an elevator, that's not happening.
00:03:07We go live.
00:03:08Now!
00:03:10Just take off your shirt.
00:03:12No, in an elevator, that's not happening.
00:03:14Well, I'll just do it.
00:03:18I'm so sorry.
00:03:21Come on, Mr. Vaughn, get this on your camera.
00:03:23Is this some sort of pinky elevator play?
00:03:25This is how you get off your nerve, Woody Allen.
00:03:28How long have you been such a mean bother, Mr. Vaughn?
00:03:30Oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:32Wait!
00:03:33I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:03:40What happened?
00:03:41Did you even see him?
00:03:43Well, I did, but things got complicated.
00:03:49You're late.
00:03:50Again.
00:03:51I'm sorry, Linda, but I got stuck in a lift with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:54Stop the bullshit.
00:03:56You with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:58Your names don't even belong in the same sentence.
00:04:02I know you're obsessed with the richest bachelor in the city,
00:04:05but you've got to come up with better excuses.
00:04:07But this time it's true.
00:04:08Listen, I know you used to be this hot shot journalist,
00:04:12but that was ages ago.
00:04:14No one even wants to talk to you nowadays.
00:04:16Actually, I'd like to talk to her.
00:04:19David, don't you work for Henry Vaughn?
00:04:22Yes, and my boss would like a word with Miss Collins.
00:04:32Table five.
00:04:33He's waiting for you.
00:04:39Is this table five?
00:04:40Sit.
00:04:42Oh, sorry, am I at the wrong table?
00:04:43Don't.
00:04:44Causing a scene.
00:04:45We need to talk discreetly.
00:04:47Got it.
00:04:48CIA style, huh?
00:04:51You snuck into the banquet.
00:04:52Who were you looking for?
00:04:53What do you want?
00:04:54I... I was just curious.
00:04:57Don't lie to me.
00:04:59Okay, fine.
00:05:01I'm from Starlight Homes,
00:05:03the orphanage that you're planning to demolish.
00:05:05I'm telling you, you're making a huge mistake.
00:05:09Starlight Homes?
00:05:10That broke old orphanage?
00:05:12Yes, but it's our home.
00:05:14And you're tearing it down to build a shopping center?
00:05:18There are other orphanages in the city, better ones.
00:05:20No, but none like ours.
00:05:21Starlight is special.
00:05:23Don't turn.
00:05:25Don't raise your voice.
00:05:27Unless you want this place swarming with reporters in five minutes.
00:05:31Starlight means everything to us.
00:05:34Yes, it may be old, but it is full of love and memories.
00:05:39And it means the world to those kids.
00:05:42Everyone says the same thing.
00:05:45Everywhere.
00:05:46If I gave up, nothing would get built.
00:05:49You have a month to move out.
00:05:52It's a generous offer, I suggest you take it.
00:05:54No!
00:05:55Wait!
00:05:59No, wait!
00:06:00I'm telling you the truth.
00:06:01You're making a huge mistake.
00:06:04About the elevator incident?
00:06:07I'll issue a statement soon.
00:06:09Don't say it or do anything, it'll blow over.
00:06:23What an asshole.
00:06:28That stupid prick.
00:06:33Boss, I'll get to work right away.
00:06:34Oh, no, Miss Collins, don't work so hard.
00:06:37You've been non-stop, you deserve a break.
00:06:41Am I getting fired?
00:06:43What? No.
00:06:45You don't need to keep hiding it anymore.
00:06:47You're Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:06:49What?
00:06:51See?
00:06:52That's all over the news.
00:06:54Okay, that's a misunderstanding.
00:06:55Oh, come on, this photo, it's clearly you.
00:07:00Yes, it is me.
00:07:02I knew it.
00:07:03Only our Lila could lend someone like Vaughn.
00:07:07Guys, it's her.
00:07:10Hey, maybe it's for the best.
00:07:13How so?
00:07:14We'll have leverage to negotiate with Henry Vaughn.
00:07:16He literally just said no to my face.
00:07:18He's just an arrogant shithead.
00:07:21Okay, then at least we can use it to our advantage
00:07:24and raise money for Starlight.
00:07:26What? Do you really think people will treat us differently?
00:07:29No, there is no way anyone would do that.
00:07:32Oh, I'll handle your assignments.
00:07:34Anything for Mr. Vaughn's girlfriend.
00:07:37I'll get you coffee from now on.
00:07:39You can have half my project bonus.
00:07:41Lila, I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:07:44Effective immediately.
00:07:46What?
00:07:47Yes, she did.
00:07:48Huh.
00:07:52I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:07:56We'll launch an exclusive right away.
00:07:58Ten things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart,
00:08:02Lila Collins.
00:08:03Wait, right now?
00:08:05No, Linder, hold on, no.
00:08:07I know she's a liar.
00:08:12Get the car ready.
00:08:14I'm going to settle this girlfriend nonsense.
00:08:20If I get the job, will I get to meet Henry Vaughn?
00:08:23Oh my God, oh my God, he's such a dream.
00:08:27Next.
00:08:31What is this supposed to be?
00:08:33I think I'm way hotter than your boyfriend.
00:08:37Next.
00:08:41Next.
00:08:45Can you introduce yourself?
00:08:47How about you introduce yourself?
00:08:49You know, I don't really dig the whole like single-sided interview thing.
00:08:54I think it's toxic.
00:08:55Great.
00:08:57Next.
00:09:01Miss Collins, you remember me?
00:09:03Uh, your voice sounds familiar.
00:09:07Yes, I think I've heard it somewhere before.
00:09:09Wait, I do know you.
00:09:14I do know you.
00:09:15Yeah.
00:09:16You look just like Robert Pattinson.
00:09:21Should I remind you what happened in the elevator a few days ago?
00:09:24Oh, you're one of those people obsessed with my relationship with Henry Vaughn.
00:09:29Fine, fine.
00:09:30I'll give you what you came here for.
00:09:34Yes, Henry Vaughn is my boyfriend.
00:09:37In the elevator, he said he loved me.
00:09:40But guess what? I turned him down.
00:09:41He did?
00:09:42Yeah, of course.
00:09:43He begged me to accept his love, saying he'd skip the press conference if I didn't.
00:09:49Wow, really?
00:09:50Absolutely.
00:09:51You know, men, they're such simple creatures.
00:09:54I gave him one kiss, and then he completely lost it.
00:09:56He wanted to sleep with me, and then, well, I said no, of course.
00:10:01He was so heartbroken, he cancelled the whole event.
00:10:05Can you imagine?
00:10:07I truly can't.
00:10:08I mean, it's outrageous. Really.
00:10:10Oh, by the way, what's your name?
00:10:11I'm Henry.
00:10:12Oh, it doesn't matter. Forget it.
00:10:13You are hired.
00:10:15No, I don't want the job.
00:10:17I...
00:10:19I don't need...
00:10:22Mrs. Green's condition is getting worse.
00:10:26Yes, I'm on my way.
00:10:30Hey, newbie, you're coming with me.
00:10:36Your son is turning this family into a laughing stock.
00:10:41The deal was clear.
00:10:43Build the biggest shopping mall in the world, and then I'll make him heir.
00:10:46Now look, the project's been delayed, and he's been seen cozying up with the enemy,
00:10:51It must be some misunderstanding.
00:10:53He's never let you down.
00:10:55Fix this, or I'll replace him, and you'll be out after him.
00:11:01Control your son.
00:11:05He's your son, too, you know.
00:11:08And I regret that every day.
00:11:14David?
00:11:22I need to know everything about Lila Collins.
00:11:35Is she okay?
00:11:37She's getting worse.
00:11:38I've not recognized anyone since yesterday.
00:11:44Mrs. Green, how are you feeling?
00:11:49I'm knitting sweaters for my children.
00:11:53You know, I have an orphanage.
00:11:56That's wonderful.
00:11:59You should see it.
00:12:01It's brand new.
00:12:04Do you know who I am?
00:12:06Mom?
00:12:10It's okay.
00:12:12It's okay.
00:12:16You're not my mom.
00:12:18No.
00:12:19But to me, you're just like a mother.
00:12:24And I'll save our home.
00:12:30Hey, newbie.
00:12:33Thanks for today.
00:12:35Give me a sec, I'll go sort the payment.
00:12:38So heartbreaking.
00:12:39Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:45Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:47Of course.
00:12:48It's getting demolished next month.
00:12:50Poor Lila.
00:12:51What's she going to do?
00:12:52Right?
00:12:53Mrs. Green only shows brief moments of clarity when she visits that place.
00:12:56Once it's gone, she might never remember anything again.
00:12:59Such a shame.
00:13:00She's been taking care of Mrs. Green for ten years.
00:13:04And just like that, it's all disappearing.
00:13:06And for what?
00:13:07Just another massive shopping mall?
00:13:09Just wiping it out like that?
00:13:25I know.
00:13:26He's so dreamy.
00:13:28I hope he can visit every day.
00:13:36And this one, who's that for?
00:13:38This is for Sherry.
00:13:41She loves lavender.
00:13:44This one.
00:13:45What about this one?
00:13:46Lily.
00:13:47Of course.
00:13:48Loves yellow.
00:14:11I'll see you next time.
00:14:13And the sweaters will be ready.
00:14:19She's really sweet.
00:14:20Thanks for coming with me today, newbie.
00:14:23I didn't really have a choice.
00:14:24You dragged me here.
00:14:26Wow, still.
00:14:29Thanks for not leaving.
00:14:35So Mrs. Green's the reason you won't leave Starlight Homes?
00:14:39You saved up all that money and you still won't move?
00:14:42Well, I haven't saved enough yet.
00:14:44And I haven't figured out what to do with Mrs. Green.
00:14:49The Vaughn Enterprise gave me an ultimatum.
00:14:52I have to be out next month, so I guess that's it.
00:14:56What are you going to do?
00:14:58Whatever it takes.
00:14:59I'll sell everything I can if I have to.
00:15:01No matter what, I am protecting my home and my family.
00:15:06You said you were engaged with Henry Vaughn, right?
00:15:10I mean, he's rich enough to handle this without a second thought.
00:15:13Why didn't you ask him?
00:15:15You know why.
00:15:18It's a lie.
00:15:21You know why.
00:15:23It's a lie.
00:15:24Ready to tell the truth?
00:15:26Yes.
00:15:28The truth is...
00:15:33Henry Vaughn is a stingy bastard.
00:15:36What?
00:15:37He's just one of those rich kids.
00:15:39You know, he's selfish and cold and he's completely indifferent to someone like us.
00:15:45He would never help the orphanage.
00:15:48Are you sure about that?
00:15:50Yes.
00:15:51That's why I turned him down.
00:15:53But he's so obsessed with me, he wouldn't let me go.
00:15:57Wow.
00:15:59If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have to sell this necklace.
00:16:05Mrs. Green gave it to me on my 18th birthday.
00:16:08It means a lot to you.
00:16:10Yes.
00:16:14But then so does Mrs. Green and Starlight Homes.
00:16:19They were all I had growing up.
00:16:22I'll do anything I can to protect them.
00:16:26That bastard Henry Vaughn, he better pray I don't catch him.
00:16:39Oh no.
00:16:40Mr. Vaughn!
00:16:41Wait.
00:16:42Did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:16:57Wait.
00:16:58Did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:17:02Careful.
00:17:17Newbie, what are you doing?
00:17:20I was just about to ask you the same thing.
00:17:25You're so glued to your phone.
00:17:27You should be more careful.
00:17:29So you were protecting me?
00:17:34Let's just say I didn't want my boss getting hurt on my first day.
00:17:38I knew it.
00:17:40You are the most responsible, detail-oriented assistant ever.
00:17:44Stick with me.
00:17:45Make sure you get promoted.
00:17:48Wait.
00:17:50From now on, whatever I have, I'll share it with you.
00:17:56I don't like chocolate.
00:17:58Nonsense.
00:18:00Everybody likes chocolate.
00:18:14Lila Collins.
00:18:17We've met before.
00:18:24Lila Collins.
00:18:27We've met before.
00:18:35Not to be nosy, but you're really bad at this.
00:18:39It's none of your business.
00:18:42Who even are you?
00:18:43Same as everybody else here.
00:18:45I'm an orphan.
00:18:46They take kids your age?
00:18:48No, I've been here since I was two, but guess I was never good enough to get adopted.
00:18:53Oh, sorry.
00:18:55No, don't be.
00:18:56This place is my home.
00:18:58I wouldn't trade it for anything.
00:19:00Oh, what about you? Why are you here?
00:19:02There's an event.
00:19:05Oh, you're with the Vaughn family.
00:19:10Volunteering, giving back to the community, right?
00:19:14Why'd you say it like that?
00:19:16You know why rich people don't do charity unless PR and cameras are involved.
00:19:23But you seem different.
00:19:28A little clumsier, a bit less polished.
00:19:31You're not one of them, are you?
00:19:33Do I not look like one?
00:19:34No.
00:19:36You seem, I don't know, a little more human.
00:19:42Here, give me your hand.
00:19:45Come on.
00:19:48This is for you.
00:19:51I don't like chocolate.
00:19:53Nonsense. Everybody likes chocolate.
00:19:59You have let your father down.
00:20:02Let me guess, you're here about the rumor?
00:20:05You mean the scandal?
00:20:07Your father is furious.
00:20:09He's already talking about replacing you.
00:20:11Shocking. He's only been threatening that for the past 25 years.
00:20:14Henry, I didn't claw my way out of this mess.
00:20:18I'm sorry.
00:20:20I'm sorry.
00:20:22I'm sorry.
00:20:24I'm sorry.
00:20:26I'm sorry.
00:20:28I didn't claw my way up the social ladder just to be thrown out of the Bong family.
00:20:32You've made that clear for the past 25 years as well.
00:20:35This isn't a joke.
00:20:37Did you forget how they treat us like trash?
00:20:39Just because I was his nurse when I gave birth to you.
00:20:44It's a misunderstanding.
00:20:49It doesn't concern you.
00:20:51Good.
00:20:52Then fix it.
00:20:54We're going to build a shopping mall here and Starlight Homes.
00:20:57The deal was clear.
00:20:59Build the biggest shopping mall in the world and you'll be heir.
00:21:04We've been outcasts for too long, Henry.
00:21:07But you are his son.
00:21:10Prove it.
00:21:24You're late.
00:21:34I need to talk to you.
00:21:35Wait.
00:21:36I have to tell you something first.
00:21:37Mr. Riffus is coming.
00:21:38He is a huge client and he's having a meeting with me here.
00:21:42Victor Riffus?
00:21:44Since when is he important?
00:21:46He's agreed to read my project proposal.
00:21:48Listen, I'm not playing this assistant game with you.
00:21:50Oh, okay.
00:21:51I get it.
00:21:52I understand my deal, but please just help me land this deal.
00:21:55Look, I can save Starlight Homes.
00:21:58But if I get this money, I can help Mrs. Green move everybody out.
00:22:02And you saw her.
00:22:03You know how much she needs this money.
00:22:05Please just help me land this deal.
00:22:11I have one condition.
00:22:13Condition?
00:22:15If you get the money, you leave Starlight Homes.
00:22:23Take the money, forget about the orphanage, just go somewhere else and start over.
00:22:28Why do you care?
00:22:31Lila Collins?
00:22:33Oh, Mr. Riffus.
00:22:35It is a pleasure to meet you.
00:22:38It's a pleasure.
00:22:50This is my assistant.
00:22:51I'm not your assistant.
00:22:53Sorry.
00:22:54He's a new hire.
00:22:55Has anyone ever told you you look like someone?
00:23:00Ah, yes.
00:23:01Vaughn.
00:23:07Henry Vaughn.
00:23:08Robert Pattinson.
00:23:11Lila said I look like him, but I think I'm better looking.
00:23:16Sorry, he's just joking.
00:23:18Please, take a seat.
00:23:26This is my project proposal.
00:23:28Please feel free to ask any questions.
00:23:31Oh, well.
00:23:34As your, Ms. Collins, Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, I'll be straightforward.
00:23:39I was thinking of gifting him a Chopard watch.
00:23:44What do you think?
00:23:46Uh, a what watch?
00:23:48Sorry?
00:23:49Surely you've heard of a Chopard watch?
00:23:52No, I guess watches are just a bit impractical.
00:23:58I just tend to use this.
00:24:03You are quite funny.
00:24:05I never imagined Vaughn would go for someone from your background.
00:24:11What do you two even talk about?
00:24:13Oh, you know, just life.
00:24:17Life?
00:24:18You call your cheap clothes and secondhand shoes life?
00:24:22You're from completely different worlds.
00:24:24Of course, maybe Vaughn finds your humour or your ignorance entertaining.
00:24:30Yeah, lucky me.
00:24:32But your private affairs with Vaughn are none of my concern.
00:24:36And as for your business proposal, I shan't be taking it forward.
00:24:40We only ever do business with people with class.
00:24:44Mr. Rivers, you haven't even looked at it yet.
00:24:46Please, please just give me a chance.
00:24:48Is this how you won over Henry Vaughn?
00:24:50By being desperate and clingy?
00:24:52Well, it won't work with me, Ms. Collins.
00:24:54Don't come near me again.
00:24:55I'm allergic to poverty.
00:24:57Please, you haven't even read it.
00:25:04Mr. Rivers!
00:25:05I'm warning you, Ms. Collins.
00:25:07Don't play these little games with me.
00:25:09What games? I'm just asking for a chance.
00:25:12You've proved you don't belong in this circle.
00:25:14And I'm not interested in your proposal.
00:25:17What, all this humiliation just because I don't know the brand of a luxury watch?
00:25:21Let me explain it so that you'll understand.
00:25:23Simple examples for someone like you.
00:25:26Think of it this way.
00:25:27You need a ticket to board a train, to enter the theatre.
00:25:31And for certain business opportunities, you need a ticket too.
00:25:36A ticket?
00:25:37Exactly.
00:25:38Watches, cars, wines, houses, luxury.
00:25:42These are the tickets of the elite.
00:25:45Do you understand now?
00:25:47What, so I don't even qualify to sit and discuss business with you?
00:25:51You might think dating Henry Vaughn means that you have stepped into this circle,
00:25:55but believe me, you haven't.
00:25:57And honestly, I think he will tire of you soon enough.
00:26:01I'm quite sure.
00:26:02Mr. Rivers, you don't know anything about me.
00:26:04Oh, come on. I know enough.
00:26:06And if you ever want to talk business opportunities,
00:26:09maybe clean up your appearance first.
00:26:11Showing up in old polyester is most impolite.
00:26:15Leaving so soon, Mr. Rivers?
00:26:20We haven't finished our conversation yet.
00:26:23No, I'm done.
00:26:24Step aside.
00:26:25No.
00:26:26Sit back down.
00:26:30I'm just getting started.
00:26:35What are you trying to do?
00:26:37Assistant, I'm warning you.
00:26:39Or what?
00:26:40You'll take away my ticket too?
00:26:42Charge me admission?
00:26:43Stay out of this.
00:26:44Apologize to her.
00:26:45What?
00:26:46The things you've said were beyond rude.
00:26:48Offer her an apology now.
00:26:50Why would I do that?
00:26:52No.
00:26:53Victor Rivers, as you cling onto your crumbling family empire,
00:26:58you have no right to criticize a hard-working, self-made businesswoman.
00:27:03Oh, do shut up.
00:27:04I'll sue you for slander.
00:27:06Go ahead. Sue.
00:27:08I'm sure the judge would love to hear what you've said today.
00:27:12I'm calling my lawyer right now.
00:27:14You're finished.
00:27:15Lawyers can be tough.
00:27:16You really should apologize to him.
00:27:20The show power of 201.
00:27:22How much is that?
00:27:2425 million?
00:27:25Nowadays?
00:27:26How generous, Mr. Rivers.
00:27:29So?
00:27:30That's exactly my point.
00:27:31The price of nobility.
00:27:33And how much do you owe the bank?
00:27:38More than a few of those watches, right?
00:27:42Good to understand what you're talking about.
00:27:45What are you doing?
00:27:47A year ago, Henry Vaughn discovered corruption in your company
00:27:51and terminated all deals with you,
00:27:53leading to significant financial problems for your group.
00:27:58But yet, you need the banks to still believe that you're thriving,
00:28:01so you got super creative with the numbers,
00:28:03practically lying to them, correct?
00:28:05That's nonsense.
00:28:07That's bullshit.
00:28:08The funny thing is, though,
00:28:10that it was corruption that led to the breakdown with Henry Vaughn.
00:28:14Wasn't it?
00:28:17But now you think a 201 is just going to buy that all back?
00:28:20It's more like a one-way ticket to jail.
00:28:25I shall sue you.
00:28:26It's all a lie.
00:28:27Fine. Call it a lie.
00:28:29We'll verify that in court.
00:28:31Hey.
00:28:32Call your lawyer.
00:28:34Friendly advice?
00:28:36Your half-assed lawyer won't be Barnes.
00:28:40I won't let this go.
00:28:42Your careers are over.
00:28:44I will end you.
00:28:45I doubt it.
00:28:47But please try.
00:28:49Keep me entertained.
00:28:56How would you know all of that?
00:28:59Who are you?
00:29:04Who are you?
00:29:06Listen, Myla.
00:29:08I'm actually...
00:29:09No.
00:29:10It doesn't matter anymore.
00:29:12We lost the deal.
00:29:14That's what matters.
00:29:16The deal?
00:29:18Victor wasn't here for your project.
00:29:20He was using you to get to Henry Vaughn.
00:29:22I know.
00:29:23But if there's even a sliver of a chance,
00:29:26I'll take it.
00:29:28You let him humiliate you like that?
00:29:30Look, you sound like you're from a good family.
00:29:33So here's the truth.
00:29:34The world isn't a fairy tale.
00:29:36Yeah, he'll mock me.
00:29:38So what?
00:29:39If it helps the people I care about,
00:29:41then I will swallow it.
00:29:44Money isn't worth this.
00:29:47It is when it protects the people that matter.
00:29:51I'm going to beg Victor you can go home.
00:29:53You're still chasing him?
00:29:54Even after what he said?
00:29:56Yes.
00:29:57But you can go home.
00:29:58Don't worry.
00:29:59I'll make sure Linda pays you.
00:30:05And thank you for standing up for me today.
00:30:08It was very nice of you.
00:30:11It's just not what I need at the moment.
00:30:15Leave it.
00:30:17It's none of your business.
00:30:22Damn it.
00:30:25David, get SparkUp Magazine a sponsorship.
00:30:28SparkUp?
00:30:29Doesn't Lila Collins work there?
00:30:31Just give them the money and credit her.
00:30:35Get it done.
00:30:44This is a mess.
00:30:47But I can't watch her drown.
00:30:53Hey.
00:30:55You okay?
00:30:57Where's your hot assistant?
00:30:59It's...
00:31:02not the right one.
00:31:04Two days ago, you said he was the best assistant ever.
00:31:08And hello.
00:31:10He's a walking thirst trap.
00:31:14If you fired him, can I date him?
00:31:15No.
00:31:17I mean, stop joking.
00:31:19He's...
00:31:21gone.
00:31:22Lila?
00:31:24What did you do?
00:31:25Oh, Linda.
00:31:26Whatever it is, I promise I'll fix it.
00:31:28Fix it?
00:31:30You're a genius.
00:31:31How did you land such a big sponsor?
00:31:33Victor Rivers agreed to the project.
00:31:35Oh, forget Rivers.
00:31:37Vaughn's funding us.
00:31:39You really have Henry Vaughn wrapped around your little finger.
00:31:43Henry Vaughn?
00:31:46Sponsored...
00:31:47us?
00:31:48They said they loved your project proposal.
00:31:50They read my project proposal?
00:31:52Yes.
00:31:53Lila, you're getting a raise.
00:31:55You and your assistant, whatever you two did,
00:31:57keep doing it.
00:32:02My assistant?
00:32:05Could it be...
00:32:07Henry?
00:32:11Hey.
00:32:13Where you going?
00:32:22This is the address HR gave me.
00:32:26This can't be right.
00:32:30This is where he lives?
00:32:36Your father is losing patience.
00:32:39What's the delay with them all?
00:32:41Starlight Homes is already moving out.
00:32:43Just throw them out. The clock is ticking.
00:32:46There are still children in there.
00:32:49You want me to toss them out onto the street?
00:32:51Like we were tossed aside?
00:32:53Do you have any idea how serious this is?
00:32:56Without your father's support, we will lose everything.
00:33:01The project will finish on time.
00:33:03It's too late.
00:33:05Your little charity case with that girl is all over the news.
00:33:09I can't clean up your mess anymore.
00:33:12What are you talking about?
00:33:14I've spoken to the Browns.
00:33:17Helen's returning soon.
00:33:19You'll marry her.
00:33:21No. No. Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:33:24Wake up, Henry.
00:33:25As the heir to Vaughn Enterprise, your marriage isn't a choice.
00:33:30It's a transaction.
00:33:33And it better be a good one.
00:33:39A contract marriage?
00:33:41It benefits no one?
00:33:43You're really willing to ruin two people without a second thought?
00:33:46Helen has agreed to this, Henry.
00:33:48You better accept your fate. It's not up for discussion.
00:33:52And it's worth it?
00:33:53Just to keep your place in this family?
00:33:55I have scheduled an exclusive interview.
00:33:58In 30 minutes, you will be on live broadcast, clarifying the scandal.
00:34:03And announcing your engagement to Helen.
00:34:07You're in a real hurry, aren't you?
00:34:10With or without you, the announcement will take place.
00:34:13Now, if you show up, it's just an engagement.
00:34:16If you don't, I'll take actions against Starlight Holmes and Lila Collins.
00:34:22Is this a threat?
00:34:25You think I care about Lila Collins?
00:34:31I knew what happened with Victor Rivers, Henry.
00:34:34You're just not yourself when you're with her.
00:34:38If you can't clean up your mess, I will.
00:34:44Like always.
00:35:04Where are you?
00:35:35Come on.
00:35:41Hey! Hey, stop!
00:35:57Whoa. That was close.
00:36:00Did she even realize how dangerous that was?
00:36:03Hi. Is there a Henry here?
00:36:08I really need to find my assistant.
00:36:11Does he live here or work here?
00:36:17What's going on?
00:36:19Do you know him or not? Did I get the wrong place?
00:36:22Hello? I know there is someone in there.
00:36:25Please, just open up. Please, I really need to...
00:36:33Henry?
00:36:40Henry?
00:36:45Henry?
00:36:48You're really here.
00:36:50What are you doing here?
00:36:51I got your address from HR.
00:36:53Wait, that's not important.
00:36:55Did you submit my proposal to Vaughn Enterprise?
00:36:59It was you!
00:37:01How do you know Vaughn Enterprise?
00:37:04So that's why you came?
00:37:06To investigate your sponsorship?
00:37:08Yes, I...
00:37:09Either way, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
00:37:12You fired me. Remember?
00:37:15I love you.
00:37:17I've got things to do.
00:37:19Let's not drag this out.
00:37:22I came to say thank you.
00:37:25I was out of line last time, I know that.
00:37:28You stood up for me against Victor Rivers and...
00:37:31Look, I wanted to shut him down too, but...
00:37:36I've gotten so used to just handling things on my own and swallowing my pride.
00:37:44But then you showed up.
00:37:48I don't know how to say this, but...
00:37:54Also, I hate owing people and...
00:37:57And this will be nothing compared to what you did for me, but...
00:38:00I would like to buy you dinner.
00:38:04As a proper thank you.
00:38:07So what do you say?
00:38:09Dinner?
00:38:16Viola Collins.
00:38:20You may be my greatest mistake.
00:38:25Okay, I did say I'd treat you, but...
00:38:29One meal here might cost me more than my entire paycheck.
00:38:34You said I could pick the place.
00:38:36I did, but...
00:38:42Aren't you going to answer that?
00:38:46It doesn't matter.
00:38:48I've already made my decision.
00:38:50I don't know what you're talking about.
00:38:52I've already made my decision.
00:38:54I don't know why, but...
00:38:56You seem different.
00:38:58Like there's a side to you I don't know.
00:39:00Breaking news.
00:39:01Laura Vaughan has just announced the engagement of Henry Vaughan and Helen Brown.
00:39:05Heirs to two of the nation's largest enterprises.
00:39:08Mrs. Vaughan, your son was just involved in a scandal.
00:39:10How is he suddenly engaged?
00:39:12And how about his rumored girlfriend, Lila Collins?
00:39:14Is this a cover-up?
00:39:15I'll answer all your questions.
00:39:17First, regarding Miss Lila Collins.
00:39:20She has no romantic ties to my son.
00:39:23In fact, she is nothing but a liar.
00:39:26Clinging to Henry in a desperate attempt for attention.
00:39:30I am formally announcing Miss Lila Collins and Starlight Homes will be facing legal action.
00:39:45You never actually engaged Henry Vaughan, were you?
00:39:49No, I admitted.
00:39:51But it was just a misunderstanding at first.
00:39:54I never meant for it to spiral like this.
00:39:57I needed a way to save Starlight Homes and...
00:40:00And then one thing led to another and...
00:40:03Well, things got out of control.
00:40:07Laura Vaughan is suing you.
00:40:09She's labeled you as a liar.
00:40:12And soon the entire public will believe it.
00:40:16And if they think you could lie about an engagement...
00:40:20They'd believe you'd lie about anything, including Starlight Homes.
00:40:25But that's the truth. It's not a lie.
00:40:27It doesn't matter. People believe what they want to believe.
00:40:31Why are you telling me this?
00:40:33Because I'm offering you an alternative.
00:40:35What kind of alternative?
00:40:39A real engagement.
00:40:42We turn the lie into the truth.
00:40:44What?
00:40:48How did they get here so fast?
00:40:50Because I invited them.
00:40:52You did what?
00:40:53The only way to kill a rumor...
00:40:56Is to start another one.
00:40:59What exactly are you planning?
00:41:01Did you really think an ordinary assistant would live in that house?
00:41:06No luxury brands by heart...
00:41:10And an inside knowledge of every industry?
00:41:14What are you saying?
00:41:17I told you...
00:41:18I wasn't there for an interview.
00:41:21I was there for you.
00:41:25To meet someone who claimed to be...
00:41:29My fiancé.
00:41:32You're saying...
00:41:34That you are...
00:41:36Mr. Vaughan! Mr. Vaughan!
00:41:38What's your statement on your mother's press conference?
00:41:41Is the engagement real?
00:41:43Why are you dining with Lila Collins right now?
00:41:45Who exactly is your fiancé?
00:41:48He is...
00:41:50Henry Vaughan.
00:41:57Mr. Vaughan, what is the statement on your mother?
00:41:58Is the engagement real?
00:41:59Why are you dining with her?
00:42:00Please, everyone, you're disturbing me and my guest.
00:42:03I'll issue a statement soon, but for now, give us a moment.
00:42:06Mr. Vaughan, we need to know...
00:42:07Mr. Vaughan, we need answers.
00:42:09How long have you been together?
00:42:10Are we expected children?
00:42:12Mr. Vaughan, how many kids do you have?
00:42:14Mr. Vaughan!
00:42:15Mr. Vaughan, come on, just give an answer!
00:42:21What exactly do you want?
00:42:23I want to make a deal.
00:42:25I'll give you enough money...
00:42:27To relocate Starlight Homes.
00:42:30In exchange...
00:42:32We stay engaged.
00:42:34Breaking off my marriage with Helen Brown.
00:42:37You think money is what I want?
00:42:38I want Starlight Homes!
00:42:40I want them to stop tearing down our home!
00:42:42I know your priority...
00:42:44Is Mrs. Green's care.
00:42:46Right?
00:42:47I can make sure...
00:42:49She gets the best treatment.
00:42:51Best resources.
00:42:53I'll give you enough...
00:42:54To rebuild...
00:42:56Starlight Homes somewhere else, exactly as it is now.
00:43:00But you have to move.
00:43:03And this fake engagement?
00:43:06It's the only way to escape the wedding trap my mother has set.
00:43:10When this is all over...
00:43:12We can break off the engagement...
00:43:14You'll be free...
00:43:16With your money...
00:43:17And...
00:43:18You could open an orphanage anywhere in the world...
00:43:20For all I care.
00:43:22So that's why you called the press here?
00:43:24To force me into agreeing?
00:43:26I never had a real choice, did I?
00:43:30I don't think you have a choice.
00:43:33Lila...
00:43:34This is the only option.
00:43:37The great Henry Vaughn pretends to be my assistant...
00:43:42And plays me...
00:43:43And entertains me like some rich kid's game.
00:43:47What...
00:43:48An...
00:43:49Honor.
00:43:52What do you say?
00:43:55Beyoncé?
00:44:00Mr. Vaughn! Mr. Vaughn!
00:44:02Are you going to make a statement tonight?
00:44:04Is Helen Braun the third wheel in all of this?
00:44:06Or is Lila Collins the one who's interfering?
00:44:08I understand this has been shocking for everyone...
00:44:12Lila and I included...
00:44:14But what I can say is that I admire Lila Collins immensely.
00:44:21Her personality...
00:44:23Her strength...
00:44:25There's something about her I've never seen in anyone before.
00:44:30As for the press conference today...
00:44:32I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:44:35I want to extend my apologies to Miss Helen Braun.
00:44:38However, there is no romantic relationship between us.
00:44:42We are not engaged.
00:44:43So you are engaged to Lila?
00:44:45Of course.
00:44:47All the rumors you've heard about us...
00:44:49It's true.
00:44:52Tonight's date speaks for itself.
00:44:55Right, Lila?
00:44:59Yes.
00:45:01Yes, that's right.
00:45:03Congratulations!
00:45:04This is incredible! Congrats!
00:45:08And of course...
00:45:09Special thanks to the woman by my side.
00:45:13I hate him.
00:45:15And I hate myself.
00:45:19Because for just one fleeting moment...
00:45:24I wished it was real.
00:45:31Evening to you too, Father.
00:45:33Don't call yourself my son and then humiliate this family!
00:45:39I told you to handle the mall project!
00:45:41Shut down Starlight Homes!
00:45:43And instead, you're seen with an activist!
00:45:46Henry must have been blackmailed!
00:45:47And you!
00:45:48A press conference turned into a joke!
00:45:50My interns could handle PR better than you!
00:45:52I've reached an agreement with Lila Collins.
00:45:54She'll move Starlight Homes within the week.
00:45:57The mall project won't be on schedule.
00:45:59It'll be a month ahead of time.
00:46:01And why would she move?
00:46:04Oh, what have you promised her?
00:46:07Don't tell me you've agreed to marry her.
00:46:10We went through hell negotiating the Brown family alliance!
00:46:13That marriage won't stop you from getting married.
00:46:15I'm not getting married!
00:46:16I'm not getting married!
00:46:17I'm not getting married!
00:46:18I'm not getting married!
00:46:19I'm not getting married!
00:46:20I'm not getting married!
00:46:21That marriage won't stop the rumors.
00:46:23It'll make them worse.
00:46:25Times have changed.
00:46:26People don't blindly believe tabloid scandal anymore.
00:46:29Sooner or later, someone's going to find out that we used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:46:35And when that happens, who's going to clear our name?
00:46:38The Browns?
00:46:39They never wanted this mess in the first place.
00:46:42This is the only way forward.
00:46:44I promise you.
00:46:46This mall?
00:46:47I'll see it done.
00:46:52This is your last chance.
00:46:55Once it's done, get rid of the girl.
00:47:04Don't make me regret this.
00:47:13You might be able to fool your father.
00:47:17But I know my son.
00:47:20But I know my son.
00:47:22It was to protect the girl, wasn't it?
00:47:29I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:32What did she do to you, Henry?
00:47:36Do you know how long we fought to get here?
00:47:38You fought!
00:47:42Have you ever stopped to think that I never wanted any of this in the first place?
00:47:46The wealth, the power.
00:47:47Sure, you gave me all of that, but at what cost?
00:47:51Pretending to be something that we're not?
00:47:54How is that any different from the people who resented us?
00:47:59You sound like those useless brats, chasing after some fantasy called freedom.
00:48:05Tell me, without money, without status, what do you have?
00:48:11Nothing.
00:48:13And when that day comes, the girl will be gone too.
00:48:16You will be gone too.
00:48:42You again!
00:48:44You're that guy that came with the Vaughns.
00:48:46Their servant, right?
00:48:48You said I was a servant.
00:48:50Whatever.
00:48:51At least you're not that prick.
00:48:53Prick?
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:55Henry Vaughn.
00:48:57Total nightmare.
00:49:03You've met him?
00:49:04No, not exactly.
00:49:06But I've seen him from a distance, surrounded by people,
00:49:09acting all important, like he's royalty or something.
00:49:12You hate him for that?
00:49:14No.
00:49:15I hate him because every time he comes here we have to spend days preparing.
00:49:20Mrs. Green is old and her health isn't great.
00:49:23But every time the Vaughns decide to use us as this little PR stunt,
00:49:28she has to get up, pose for photos, and look presentable.
00:49:34We scrub the halls, we rehearse fake answers for reporters,
00:49:38and we have to hide all our old toys.
00:49:41God forbid the Vaughns see how we really live.
00:49:46They don't care about us.
00:49:48All they care about is looking good.
00:49:53I see.
00:49:55So, yeah.
00:49:58I hope he stops coming.
00:50:00I hope I never see Henry Vaughn here again.
00:50:06But at least I met you.
00:50:08What's your name, anyway?
00:50:10I have to go.
00:50:12What? Why? Will I see you again?
00:50:18No.
00:50:21You won't.
00:50:29We met again, after all.
00:50:41Stick close. Breathe.
00:50:44Easy for you to say.
00:50:46Trust me, it wasn't easy at first.
00:50:52This is your first public appearance together. It's tonight's a date.
00:50:55Lila, how does it feel dating the city's most eligible bachelor?
00:50:58Breathe. You're gonna learn everything else.
00:51:01You're staring.
00:51:02Why are they staring? Is something wrong with my dress?
00:51:05You're my fiancé.
00:51:07You're my fiancé. No one will question that.
00:51:12Beware, Mr. Vaughn. This is me and the family.
00:51:14Lila!
00:51:20Beware, Mr. Vaughn. This is me and the family.
00:51:22Lila!
00:51:25Have we met before?
00:51:27Why do you ask?
00:51:29You seem familiar.
00:51:31You have been to Starlight Homes before.
00:51:34We must have met there.
00:51:36No.
00:51:38Trust me, if I'd met someone this loud before, I probably would have remembered.
00:51:42Oh.
00:51:44I'm sorry.
00:51:46I'm sorry.
00:51:48I'm sorry.
00:51:50I'm sorry.
00:51:52I probably would have remembered.
00:51:54Uh, excuse me.
00:51:56If I'd met you before, I would have remembered too.
00:51:58Prick.
00:52:02Why are you laughing?
00:52:04Why are you laughing?
00:52:19Well, if it isn't my former fiancé and his charity case.
00:52:27She's my guest tonight.
00:52:29Oh, I'm joking.
00:52:31What, no warm welcome?
00:52:33We haven't seen each other for five years.
00:52:35We were never that close.
00:52:38Ouch. You've gotten meaner.
00:52:43Do you remember high school?
00:52:45Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:52:48I was the only one shutting them up.
00:52:50Thanks for reminding me.
00:52:51Don't get me wrong. I mean, your background's messy.
00:52:55But men like your father, they do have plenty of affairs.
00:52:58Your mother being a nurse is not exactly shocking.
00:53:04Oh, you didn't know.
00:53:07Henry wasn't even raised in the Vaughan mansion at first.
00:53:10There was a time that he was kicked out.
00:53:12That's enough, Helen.
00:53:16Why are you here?
00:53:18I'm just curious.
00:53:20I wanted to see what's really going on between you two lovebirds.
00:53:23And? What do you see?
00:53:25Exactly what I assumed.
00:53:27A fake engagement.
00:53:32You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:53:35Honey, I haven't even started.
00:53:38But if you two want to continue your little pretend game,
00:53:41I'm happy to play along.
00:53:43We need to talk.
00:53:45You just left me standing there?
00:53:47What am I, a damn prop?
00:53:49That's all right.
00:53:51You were just watching me.
00:53:53You're a spy.
00:53:55You're a spy.
00:53:57You're a spy.
00:53:59You're a spy.
00:54:01You're a spy.
00:54:03You're a spy.
00:54:05You're a spy.
00:54:07You're a spy.
00:54:09You're a spy.
00:54:11You're a spy.
00:54:13Am I a damn prop?
00:54:15She...
00:54:17She practically golded herself down.
00:54:21Aww.
00:54:23Did I hurt your feelings?
00:54:25I'm just leaving.
00:54:27Wait!
00:54:29I'm like you, so I'm going to give you a little friendly warning.
00:54:33Stay away from him.
00:54:35He's mine.
00:54:39He's mine.
00:54:41Maybe you should tell him that.
00:54:43He's the one who called off your engagement.
00:54:45He said he was feeling trapped.
00:54:47Can you imagine?
00:54:49Someone like us feeling something like that?
00:54:51God thinks he's living in a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:54:53What exactly are you trying to say?
00:54:55That we understand each other.
00:54:59When Henry struggled to fit in,
00:55:01I was the one who helped him.
00:55:03I was the one who brought him into our circle.
00:55:07Without me, he would be no more than an illegitimate shadow.
00:55:09Are you saying he needs you?
00:55:11No.
00:55:13I'm saying I made him.
00:55:15And now, just because of you,
00:55:17he's ready to throw it all away.
00:55:19That's not happening.
00:55:21Let me fill you in.
00:55:23Henry promised his father that the second Starlight Home would be gone.
00:55:25So would you.
00:55:27I don't care.
00:55:29Really?
00:55:31Why don't you hear for yourself?
00:55:39We used power and intimidation
00:55:41to force Starlight Homes out.
00:55:43This is the only way forward.
00:55:45I promise you,
00:55:47this mall, I'll see it done.
00:55:57You take the bedroom, I'll take the couch.
00:55:59Do we really need to live together?
00:56:01Why did you rent an apartment just for this?
00:56:05This may be a fake engagement,
00:56:07but it needs to be convincing.
00:56:11I want a place just for us.
00:56:13No uninvited guests.
00:56:15Right.
00:56:17You wouldn't want someone like me
00:56:19stepping foot in the Vaughn Mansion.
00:56:21That's not what I meant, Lila.
00:56:23Why do you always assume the worst?
00:56:29Get some rest.
00:56:37Why do rich people always put things so high?
00:56:41Try not to break it.
00:56:43It's expensive.
00:56:47I suppose that shelf would be a challenge
00:56:49for a short-legged corgi.
00:56:51I'm not.
00:56:53I'm not a corgi.
00:56:57Henry?
00:57:01Can I ask you something?
00:57:03And
00:57:05can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:57:11Can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:57:13Depends on what you ask.
00:57:17Right.
00:57:19Of course.
00:57:21You made this engagement deal
00:57:23for Starlight Homes, right?
00:57:27A so-called
00:57:29win-win.
00:57:31Was it all just a new PR strategy
00:57:33for Vaughn Enterprise?
00:57:41Answer me.
00:57:43I already told you.
00:57:45You get what you want
00:57:47and I get what I want.
00:57:49But what do you want, Henry?
00:57:51I don't get you.
00:57:53You could have thrown me out, but you didn't.
00:57:55You met Mrs. Green.
00:57:57You knew exactly what would break me,
00:57:59but you never, ever used it.
00:58:03You could have labeled me a liar.
00:58:05To paint me
00:58:07as the woman who came in between
00:58:09you and Helen,
00:58:11but you didn't.
00:58:13Why?
00:58:15Was it all just a way to make sure
00:58:17I willingly moved Starlight Homes
00:58:19to fake an engagement?
00:58:23Was it worth it?
00:58:25Henry Vaughn,
00:58:27why
00:58:29are you helping me?
00:58:33I made my terms
00:58:35clear.
00:58:37You need to move Starlight Homes within a week.
00:58:39No, that's not an answer.
00:58:45All my life,
00:58:49I've been pretending to be someone
00:58:51I'm not.
00:58:55My mother went through
00:58:57hell because of where she came from.
00:58:59She always said
00:59:01she didn't want me to suffer
00:59:03like she did, so
00:59:05I did what was expected.
00:59:07I pushed.
00:59:09I fought.
00:59:11I became the perfect heir.
00:59:15The one who
00:59:17deserved to lead the Vaughn family.
00:59:23But I'm not them.
00:59:25I never
00:59:27was.
00:59:29I know that.
00:59:33Everything you said,
00:59:35using Mrs. Green
00:59:37to threaten you,
00:59:39forcing you all out without warning,
00:59:41I did consider it.
00:59:43I'm not a saint.
00:59:45The thought
00:59:47crossed my mind more than once.
00:59:51But you didn't.
00:59:53Look,
00:59:55I don't want to talk about us like this,
00:59:57not while everything's still a mess,
00:59:59but what I said
01:00:01about you,
01:00:03that I
01:00:05admire your resilience,
01:00:07that you got to me,
01:00:11none of that was a lie.
01:00:17I think...
01:00:23I think...
01:00:48Henry Vaughn,
01:00:50don't betray my trust.
01:00:53I love you.
01:01:23It's just a call
01:01:25to my fiancé.
01:01:27It's not too much.
01:01:29Right?
01:01:35Okay.
01:01:41Oh, you picked up.
01:01:43I figured
01:01:45you left early
01:01:47this morning, so
01:01:49I was at your place.
01:01:51Okay, so I was
01:01:53just checking if
01:01:55everything's okay?
01:01:57Yeah.
01:01:59Oh, okay, well, I'm just about to head out, so I...
01:02:01Lila, I'm really sorry, but
01:02:03can we talk later?
01:02:05Uh, yeah, sure.
01:02:07Don't overthink it.
01:02:09My mother, she's in the hospital.
01:02:11What?
01:02:13What happened? Are you okay?
01:02:15I'm fine. Don't worry.
01:02:17I'll call you back soon, okay?
01:02:19Okay.
01:02:23What the hell happened?
01:02:35Lila, Mrs. Green is missing.
01:02:39What happened?
01:02:41Yesterday, someone came
01:02:43claiming that Starlight Homes is moving
01:02:45and that they wanted to take her on one last visit.
01:02:47We refused, but then
01:02:49last night, she was taken from a ward.
01:02:51How can that happen?
01:02:53I'm so sorry, Lila.
01:02:55All the security footage was erased.
01:02:57Who would want to
01:02:59discharge her early?
01:03:01He said he was here on behalf of your fiancé,
01:03:03Henry Vaughan.
01:03:05Miss Collins, a word,
01:03:07please. We need to talk.
01:03:11Do you work for Henry or Vaughan Enterprise?
01:03:13Does it matter?
01:03:15They're the same.
01:03:17Not to me.
01:03:19I see what he meant. You're special.
01:03:21But special is never what this family needs.
01:03:23What do you want from me?
01:03:25Easy. Walk away now,
01:03:27and we'll make sure
01:03:29Mrs. Green gets the care
01:03:31that she needs.
01:03:33If you had this much power,
01:03:35you could make me disappear without a second thought.
01:03:37Why bother making me a deal?
01:03:39Consider Henry's
01:03:41last kindness to you.
01:03:43That wasn't Henry's idea.
01:03:45You can't fool me. Isn't it, though?
01:03:47Lila,
01:03:49you don't know him.
01:03:51No, I know enough.
01:03:53Then ask him.
01:03:55Go. Find him. Confront him.
01:03:57Right now,
01:03:59you don't see it,
01:04:01but he's a part of this family.
01:04:03He's a Vaughan,
01:04:05and there's nothing
01:04:07that you can do about it.
01:04:13This is Henry Vaughan.
01:04:15Leave a message,
01:04:17and I'll get back to you.
01:04:19It's fine.
01:04:21He's just busy.
01:04:27Henry.
01:04:39The number you have dialed
01:04:41is busy now.
01:04:43No.
01:04:45No.
01:04:47Henry Vaughan.
01:04:49Was this all a game to you?
01:04:51Yes, Doctor.
01:04:53I want the transfer arranged as soon as possible.
01:04:55That's great.
01:04:57I'll coordinate with her guardian.
01:04:59Sir,
01:05:01Mrs. Green has gone missing.
01:05:03What?
01:05:05Someone has taken her from the hospital.
01:05:07Find out who.
01:05:09I just saved your career,
01:05:11and secured your place
01:05:13within this family. You're welcome.
01:05:15What did you do?
01:05:17Well, you were going to get rid of that girl eventually.
01:05:19I simply sped things up.
01:05:21You threatened her?
01:05:23Don't be so dramatic.
01:05:25I arranged for Mrs. Green to receive top-tier medical care.
01:05:27And the only condition?
01:05:29Lila walks away from you.
01:05:35How long do you plan to control my life?
01:05:40Wake up, Henry.
01:05:42You are not just yourself.
01:05:44You are Richard Vaughan's son.
01:05:46My son.
01:05:48And the heir to this family.
01:05:50Have you still not figured that out?
01:05:52Did I ever get a say
01:05:54in any of this?
01:05:58Get back here!
01:06:00Mrs. Vaughan!
01:06:02Mrs. Vaughan!
01:06:10You okay?
01:06:14What are you doing here?
01:06:16Well, considering it's my family's hospital,
01:06:18did you really think I wouldn't show?
01:06:20They said it was exhaustion.
01:06:24This isn't your fault.
01:06:26You've done everything that she's ever expected of you.
01:06:29Don't blame yourself.
01:06:31I'm not blaming myself.
01:06:35I just don't know when it became so hard
01:06:37to be around her.
01:06:40I checked with the doctors.
01:06:42They said that she'd wake soon.
01:06:46Everything's gonna be fine.
01:06:52And really, you couldn't have picked a better hospital.
01:06:59Speaking of which, I have a little update on your fiancé's family situation.
01:07:02You mean Mrs. Green?
01:07:05JHU's doing a new study on VR-assisted memory recovery.
01:07:10If you're willing to fast-track her treatment.
01:07:13That's great.
01:07:16Thank you, Helen.
01:07:18No need to thank me.
01:07:20We're friends, aren't we?
01:07:23If you really want to thank me...
01:07:29See? Catching up with me isn't so bad, is it?
01:07:32Today hasn't been the worst.
01:07:35You do remember that we're still friends, right?
01:07:38Even though our engagement's off.
01:07:41I don't think so.
01:07:43I don't think so.
01:07:45I don't think so.
01:07:47I don't think so.
01:07:49Even though our engagement's off.
01:07:52Now that we're on the topic of it,
01:07:55I do have to ask.
01:07:58Are you sure you don't want to marry me?
01:08:01A union between our families, we could withstand anything.
01:08:04Helen, I'm serious about Lila.
01:08:08I haven't told her yet,
01:08:11but I love her.
01:08:16Wow.
01:08:20I don't think I've ever heard you use that word before.
01:08:22And neither have I.
01:08:26Until now.
01:08:38Come on.
01:08:40Just one meal.
01:08:42Can I have my friend's full attention for just once?
01:08:44It'll just be one second.
01:08:46Just wait until I explain about Mrs. Green's treatment.
01:08:49Then you can give her all the details at once.
01:08:51Wouldn't that be better?
01:08:55Fine.
01:09:08So the study is still in early works.
01:09:10But if you want her to have a shot,
01:09:12then she should be transferred as soon as possible.
01:09:14I see.
01:09:16I'll talk to Lila.
01:09:18Thank you, Helen.
01:09:25I like her. You know, she's, um...
01:09:28different.
01:09:31Cute.
01:09:38I need to take this.
01:09:40Lila won't keep calling unless it's urgent.
01:09:42I just thought of something.
01:09:44How about we both go to the hospital together
01:09:46and we'll tell her the news in person?
01:09:55Helen.
01:09:57What are you doing?
01:09:59You've been trying to distract me since we sat down.
01:10:02What exactly are you planning?
01:10:06I don't know what you're talking about.
01:10:08You're stalling. Why?
01:10:10Henry, I swear I...
01:10:12I'm warning you.
01:10:14Now.
01:10:26What did you do to Lila?
01:10:28Nothing!
01:10:30You'd better be telling the truth.
01:10:35You never even saw me.
01:10:38I should never have trusted him.
01:10:44Don't go, Lila.
01:10:49Liar. Don't touch me.
01:10:52Lila, I didn't lie to you.
01:10:54Go have dinner with your real fiancé.
01:10:56Goodbye.
01:10:58You saw us?
01:11:00Oh, so you're finally admitting it.
01:11:02Great. Just tell me the truth.
01:11:04Oh, so you're finally admitting it.
01:11:06Great. Just fantastic.
01:11:08Mrs. Green is missing
01:11:10and you're out having some romantic meal with Helen.
01:11:12What did you just say? Mrs. Green is missing?
01:11:14Yes, genius.
01:11:16David had her taken.
01:11:18He said you ordered it, but I'm not stupid.
01:11:20I know that you would never do something so pointless.
01:11:22It's my mother.
01:11:24She must have planned this with Helen.
01:11:26No wonder she was pushing the treatment conversation.
01:11:28You know what? It doesn't matter anymore.
01:11:30If you want me gone, just say it.
01:11:32Okay?
01:11:34I will make it easy for you.
01:11:36You can have your happily ever after.
01:11:38My happily ever after is only with you.
01:11:42Stop lying, please.
01:11:44You're using me.
01:11:46And you said you were at the hospital with Laura,
01:11:48but you weren't, and then you hung up on me.
01:11:58Let go.
01:12:00Please, okay?
01:12:02My mother did collapse earlier.
01:12:04I took her to the hospital.
01:12:06She's stable now.
01:12:08Helen only showed up
01:12:10because it was her family's hospital.
01:12:12She came to find me.
01:12:14I didn't know anything about
01:12:16Mrs. Green being taken, okay?
01:12:18I swear.
01:12:20I already suspected David was reporting my movements to my family,
01:12:22so I had someone tail him.
01:12:24You did?
01:12:26Yeah.
01:12:28I'm going to see Mrs. Green
01:12:30soon.
01:12:32I promise you, Myla, nobody is going to hurt your family.
01:12:34What about lunch?
01:12:36Helen told me
01:12:38about this new treatment,
01:12:40one that could help Mrs. Green
01:12:42recover her memory.
01:12:44I was relieved.
01:12:46Okay? That's all we talked about.
01:12:48She set me up.
01:12:50Myla, she knew you'd see us.
01:12:52She knew you'd call.
01:12:54And I'm betting she had David
01:12:56off to your whereabouts just to make you doubt me.
01:12:58Myla,
01:13:00can you forgive me?
01:13:06Now's not the time.
01:13:10You're right.
01:13:12When this is all over,
01:13:14we'll have plenty of time
01:13:16to talk about us.
01:13:22Come on.
01:13:24I know where Mrs. Green is.
01:13:26Let's go
01:13:28take her home.
01:13:36How?
01:13:38How did she get here?
01:13:40David moved her to a different hospital,
01:13:42but she must
01:13:44have found her way back here.
01:13:46He remembers
01:13:48this place?
01:13:50Yes, Myla. Maybe she remembers
01:13:52more than we think.
01:13:54And if we give her enough time,
01:13:56maybe she'll remember everything.
01:14:14You've come to tell me your decision,
01:14:16haven't you?
01:14:18You always said
01:14:20you know me.
01:14:22You should already know my decision.
01:14:24You're going to ruin everything.
01:14:26No.
01:14:28Everything's saved
01:14:30because of her.
01:14:34What about the mall project?
01:14:36Have you thought about that?
01:14:38We're still building
01:14:40the biggest shopping center in the world,
01:14:42but it will be unlike
01:14:44any other.
01:14:46There will be a park inside,
01:14:48the best orphanage in the world.
01:14:50You're keeping Starlight House?
01:14:52Because it belongs there.
01:14:54I'm not
01:14:56tearing it down. I'm making it better.
01:14:58We'll rebuild
01:15:00it into something brighter,
01:15:02something real.
01:15:04And what about your father?
01:15:06He won't stand for this.
01:15:08He wasn't happy at first.
01:15:10Then he saw the stock price.
01:15:14I used to think
01:15:16that love meant obeying you,
01:15:20meeting every expectation
01:15:22you set.
01:15:24But love isn't about
01:15:26becoming what someone else wants
01:15:28you to be.
01:15:30It's about accepting who you really are.
01:15:34I hope that
01:15:36one day
01:15:38you'll love me
01:15:40that way too.
01:15:46I love you.
01:16:08I've been thinking
01:16:10about why you feel so familiar.
01:16:16The balloons?
01:16:18I used to hate it when the balloons came to Starlight House.
01:16:20But one day,
01:16:22that changed.
01:16:24Why?
01:16:26Because I met a
01:16:28very handsome,
01:16:30but very quiet,
01:16:32very kind boy.
01:16:36How handsome?
01:16:40I'm sorry it took me so long to recognize you.
01:16:42You're forgiven.
01:16:46I love you.
