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? What's happening?
00:00:11I'm just-
00:00:12When did you just do this?
00:00:15Oh my goodness!
00:00:16It's his 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!
00:00:30You did what?
00:00:31The only way to kill a rumor is to start another one.
00:00:34I never knew it would spiral like this.
00:00:37The second Starlight Home would be gone, so would you.
00:00:39Lila, you don't know him.
00:00:46I hate him, and I hate myself.
00:00:50Please.
00:00:56For just one fleeting moment, I wished it was real.
00:00:59What do you say?
00:01:01Beyoncé?
00:01:15I got this.
00:01:16I belong here.
00:01:20Hi.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:24Thank you so much.
00:01:26Oh!
00:01:28Hi.
00:01:29Do you know who she is?
00:01:31No clue.
00:01:33I've never seen her before.
00:01:37How's everything?
00:01:38You got a plan?
00:01:39Anya, I'm in.
00:01:40Now, I'll find Henry Vaughn and stop him.
00:01:42He's not getting his hands on our orphanage.
00:01:44Our home.
00:01:46Now, what does he look like?
00:01:49Mr. Vaughn.
00:01:50It's such a pleasure.
00:01:54We go live in ten minutes.
00:01:58I'll be back shortly.
00:02:03I can't believe we're talking to Henry Vaughn.
00:02:06Oh, my God!
00:02:07His first public appearance!
00:02:09No one has ever seen him before this.
00:02:11It screams Highline.
00:02:13We need something big.
00:02:15Yeah, I'll confirm after the interview, okay?
00:02:17All right?
00:02:26No sign of Henry Vaughn.
00:02:27Where is he?
00:02:32What?
00:02:33What's happening?
00:02:34Probably just a glitch.
00:02:35Are you okay?
00:02:36My hair, it's stuck to your shirt.
00:02:38Can you please help?
00:02:39Hold still.
00:02:40Oh, my God!
00:02:41Can you please help?
00:02:42Hold still.
00:02:43Ow, stop yanking!
00:02:45I'm not yanking, be patient.
00:02:47Oh, please.
00:02:48Not so rough.
00:02:49Oh, please, just be slow, come on.
00:02:51Come on, listen to me.
00:02:52Uh, hey, you may want to hear this.
00:02:57You're so slow, come on.
00:02:59Be patient.
00:03:00I can't help it, ow!
00:03:02I'm sorry, did that hurt?
00:03:03Just take off your shirt!
00:03:05In an elevator, that's not as...
00:03:07We go live.
00:03:08No!
00:03:10Just take off your shirt!
00:03:11No, in an elevator, that's not as...
00:03:13Oh, I'll just do it.
00:03:17I'm so sorry.
00:03:21Come on, Mr. Vaughn!
00:03:22This is all your fault!
00:03:23Is this some sort of pinky elevator play?
00:03:25Is that how you get out of your nerves before the end?
00:03:27How long have you been stuck in your bed, Mr. Vaughn?
00:03:32Wait!
00:03:33Mr. Vaughn!
00:03:34Mr. Vaughn!
00:03:40What happened?
00:03:41Did you even see him?
00:03:42Well, I did, but things got complicated.
00:03:48You're late.
00:03:49Again.
00:03:50I'm sorry, Linda, but I got stuck in an elevator with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:54Oh, stop the bullshit.
00:03:55You with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:58Your names don't even belong in the same sentence.
00:04:01I know you're obsessed with the richest bachelor in the city,
00:04:04but 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 hotshot journalist,
00:04:12but that was ages ago.
00:04:13No 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.
00:04:23And my boss would like a word with Miss Collins.
00:04:32Table five.
00:04:33He's waiting for you.
00:04:38Is this table five?
00:04:40Set.
00:04:41Oh, sorry, am I at the wrong table?
00:04:43Don't.
00:04:44We're causing a scene. We need to talk discreetly.
00:04:47Got it. CIA style.
00:04:49Huh?
00:04:50You snuck into the banquet.
00:04:52Who were you looking for? What do you want?
00:04:54I... I was just curious.
00:04:56Don't lie to me.
00:04:58Okay, fine.
00:05:01I'm from Starlight Homes.
00:05:02The orphanage that you're planning to demolish.
00:05:04I'm telling you, you're making a huge mistake.
00:05:08Starlight Homes?
00:05:10That broke old orphanage?
00:05:11Yes, but it's our home.
00:05:13And you're tearing it down to build a shopping center?
00:05:17There are other orphanages in the city, better ones.
00:05:20No, but none like ours. Starlight is special.
00:05:22Don'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. Everywhere.
00:05:45If I gave up, nothing would get built.
00:05:49You have a month to move out.
00:05:51It's a generous offer. I suggest you take it.
00:05:54No! Wait!
00:05:58No! Wait! I'm telling you the truth.
00:06:01You're making a huge mistake.
00:06:04About the elevator incident...
00:06:06I'll issue a statement soon.
00:06:08Don't say it or do anything. It'll blow over.
00:06:22What an asshole.
00:06:27That stupid prick.
00:06:31Oh, boss. 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.
00:06:40Am I getting fired?
00:06:42What? No.
00:06:44You don't need to keep hiding it anymore.
00:06:47You're Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:06:49What?
00:06:50See? It's all over the news.
00:06:53Okay, that's a misunderstanding.
00:06:55Oh, come on. This photo?
00:06:57It's clearly you.
00:06:59Yes. It is me.
00:07:01I knew it.
00:07:03Only our lila could land someone like Vaughn.
00:07:06Guys, it's her.
00:07:09Hey, maybe it's for the best.
00:07:12How 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.
00:07:20Okay, then at least we can use it to our advantage
00:07:23and raise money for Starlight.
00:07:25What? 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, both of us.
00:07:41Lila, I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:07:44Effective immediately.
00:07:46What?
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, Lila 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?
00:08:24Oh my god. He's such a dream.
00:08:31What is this supposed to be?
00:08:33I think I'm way hotter than your boyfriend.
00:08:45Can you introduce yourself?
00:08:47How about you introduce yourself?
00:08:49You know, I don't really dig the whole single-sided interview thing.
00:08:53I think it's toxic.
00:08:55Great.
00:08:57Next.
00:09:00Miss Collins? You remember me?
00:09:03Uh, your voice sounds familiar.
00:09:06Yes, I think I've heard it somewhere before.
00:09:08Wait.
00:09:10I do know you.
00:09:13I do know you.
00:09:15You look just like Robert Pattinson.
00:09:19Should I remind you what happened in the elevator a few days ago?
00:09:22Oh. You're one of those people obsessed with my relationship with Henry Vaughn.
00:09:26Fine. Fine. I'll give you what you came here for.
00:09:32Yes. Henry Vaughn is my boyfriend.
00:09:35In the elevator, he said he loved me.
00:09:37But guess what? I turned him down.
00:09:39He did?
00:09:41Yeah. Of course.
00:09:43He begged me to accept his love, saying he'd skip the press conference if I didn't.
00:09:47Wow. Really?
00:09:49Absolutely!
00:09:51You know, men are such simple creatures.
00:09:53I gave him one kiss, and then he completely lost it.
00:09:55He wanted to sleep with me, and then...
00:09:57Well, I said no, of course.
00:09:59He was so heartbroken, he cancelled the whole event.
00:10:03Can you imagine?
00:10:05I truly can.
00:10:07I mean, it's outrageous. Really.
00:10:09Oh, by the way, what's your name?
00:10:11I'm Henry.
00:10:13Oh, it doesn't matter. Forget it. You are hired.
00:10:16No, I don't want the job.
00:10:18I don't need...
00:10:22Mrs. Green's condition is getting worse.
00:10:26Yes, I'm on my way.
00:10:30Hey, newbie.
00:10:32You're coming with me.
00:10:36Your son is turning this family into a laughing stock.
00:10:41The deal was clear.
00:10:43I'll build the biggest shopping mall in the world, and then I'll make him heir.
00:10:45Now, look.
00:10:47The project's been delayed, and he's been seen cozying up with the enemy.
00:10:49Some activist.
00:10:51It must be some misunderstanding.
00:10:53He's never let you down.
00:10:55Fix this, or I'll replace him.
00:10:57And you'll be out after him.
00:11:01Control your son.
00:11:05He's your son, too, you know.
00:11:07And I regret that every day.
00:11:13David?
00:11:15I need to know everything about Lila Collins.
00:11:27Is she okay?
00:11:29She's getting worse.
00:11:31She's not recognized anyone since yesterday.
00:11:37I'm sorry.
00:11:40Okay.
00:11:44Mrs. Green?
00:11:46How are you feeling?
00:11:48I'm knitting sweaters for my children.
00:11:52You know, I have an orphanage.
00:11:54That's wonderful.
00:11:58You should see it.
00:12:00It'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.
00:12:20But to me, you're just like a mother.
00:12:24And I'll save our home.
00:12:30Hey, newbie.
00:12:32Thanks for today.
00:12:34Just give me a sec.
00:12:36I'll go solve the payment.
00:12:38That's heartbreaking.
00:12:40Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:46Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:48Of course.
00:12:50It's getting demolished next month.
00:12:52Poor Lila.
00:12:54What's she going to do?
00:12:56Right?
00:12:58Mrs. Green only shows brief moments of clarity
00:13:00when she visits that place.
00:13:02Once it's gone,
00:13:04she might never remember anything again.
00:13:07It's just another massive shopping mall,
00:13:09just wiping it out like that.
00:13:25I know.
00:13:27He's so dreamy.
00:13:29I hope he can visit every day.
00:13:37Who's that for?
00:13:39This is for Sherry.
00:13:41She loves lavender.
00:13:43This one?
00:13:45What about this one?
00:13:47Lily, of course.
00:13:49She just loves yellow.
00:14:07I'll see you next time.
00:14:09And the sweaters will be ready.
00:14:15She's really sweet.
00:14:17Thanks for coming with me today, newbie.
00:14:19I didn't really have a choice.
00:14:21You dragged me here.
00:14:23Well, still,
00:14:25thanks for not leaving.
00:14:31So, uh,
00:14:33Mrs. Green's the real estate agent.
00:14:35So, uh, Mrs. Green's the reason
00:14:37you won't leave Starlight Homes?
00:14:39I mean, you saved up all that money
00:14:41and you still won't move?
00:14:43Well, I haven't saved enough yet.
00:14:45And I haven't figured out
00:14:47what to do with Mrs. Green.
00:14:49The Vaughn Enterprise gave me an ultimatum.
00:14:51I have to be out next month,
00:14:53so I guess that's it.
00:14:55What are you going to do?
00:14:57Whatever it takes.
00:14:59I'll sell everything I can if I have to,
00:15:01no matter what,
00:15:03eventually.
00:15:05You said you were engaged
00:15:07with Henry Vaughn, right?
00:15:09I mean, he's rich enough to handle this
00:15:11without a second thought.
00:15:13Why didn't you ask him?
00:15:15You know why.
00:15:17It's a lie.
00:15:21You know why.
00:15:23It's a lie.
00:15:25Ready to tell the truth?
00:15:27Yes.
00:15:29The truth is
00:15:31Henry Vaughn
00:15:33is a stingy bastard.
00:15:35What?
00:15:37He's just one of those rich kids.
00:15:39You know, he's selfish and cold
00:15:41and he's completely indifferent
00:15:43to someone like us.
00:15:45He would never help the orphanage.
00:15:47Are you sure about that?
00:15:49Yes.
00:15:51That's why I turned him down.
00:15:53But he's so obsessed with me
00:15:55he wouldn't let me go.
00:15:57Wow.
00:15:59If it wasn't for him
00:16:01I wouldn't have to sell this necklace.
00:16:03Mrs. Green gave it to me
00:16:05on my 18th birthday.
00:16:07It means a lot to you.
00:16:09Yes.
00:16:13But then so does Mrs. Green
00:16:15and Starlight Holmes.
00:16:17They
00:16:19were all I had growing up.
00:16:21I'll do anything I can to protect them.
00:16:25But that bastard Henry Vaughn,
00:16:27maybe I don't catch him.
00:16:39Oh no. Mr. Vaughn!
00:16:41Wait.
00:16:43Did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:16:57Wait.
00:16:59Did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:17:01Careful.
00:17:17Newbie, what are you doing?
00:17:19I was just about to ask you the same thing.
00:17:21I'm so glued to your phone.
00:17:23I should be more careful.
00:17:25So
00:17:27you were protecting me?
00:17:29Let's just say
00:17:31I didn't want my boss getting hurt on my first day.
00:17:33Huh.
00:17:35I knew it.
00:17:37You are the most responsible
00:17:39detail-oriented assistant ever.
00:17:41Stick with me.
00:17:43Make sure you get promoted.
00:17:45Wait.
00:17:47From now on
00:17:49From now on
00:17:51whatever I have, I'll share it with you.
00:17:55I don't like chocolate.
00:17:57Nonsense.
00:17:59Everybody likes chocolate.
00:18:13Lila Collins.
00:18:15We've met before.
00:18:19Not to be nosy
00:18:21but you're really
00:18:23bad at this.
00:18:25It's none of your business.
00:18:27Who even are you?
00:18:29Same as everybody else here.
00:18:31I'm an orphan.
00:18:33They take kids your age?
00:18:35No, I've been here since I was two, but
00:18:37I've been here since I was five.
00:18:39I've been here since I was five.
00:18:41I've been here since I was five.
00:18:43I've been here since I was five.
00:18:45I've been here since I was five.
00:18:47No, I've been here since I was two, but
00:18:49guess I was never good enough
00:18:51to get adopted.
00:18:53Oh, sorry.
00:18:55No, don't be. This place is my home.
00:18:57I wouldn't trade it for anything.
00:18:59Oh, what about you? Why are you here?
00:19:01There's an event.
00:19:05Oh, you're with the Vaughn family?
00:19:09Volunteering, giving back to the community, right?
00:19:13Why'd you say it like that?
00:19:15You know why rich people
00:19:17don't do charity unless
00:19:19PR and cameras are involved.
00:19:23You seem...
00:19:25different?
00:19:27A little clumsier, a bit less polished.
00:19:29You're not one of them, are you?
00:19:31Do I not look like one?
00:19:33No.
00:19:35You seem...
00:19:37I don't know, a little more human.
00:19:41Here, give me your hand.
00:19:43Come on.
00:19:47This is for you.
00:19:51I don't like chocolate.
00:19:53Nonsense. Everybody likes chocolate.
00:19:55Chocolate.
00:20:11You have let your father down.
00:20:13Let me guess, you're here
00:20:15about the rumor?
00:20:17You mean the scandal?
00:20:19Your father is furious.
00:20:21He's already talking about replacing you.
00:20:23And threatening that for the past 25 years.
00:20:25Henry, I didn't claw my way
00:20:27up the social ladder just to be thrown
00:20:29out of the Vaughn family.
00:20:31You've made that clear for the past 25 years as well.
00:20:33This isn't a joke.
00:20:35Did you forget how they treat us like trash?
00:20:37Just because I was his nurse
00:20:39when I gave birth to you.
00:20:43It's a misunderstanding.
00:20:47It doesn't concern you.
00:20:49Good.
00:20:51Then fix it.
00:20:53Get rid of her and Starlight Homes.
00:20:55The deal was clear.
00:20:57Build the biggest shopping mall in the world
00:20:59and you'll be heir.
00:21:03We've been outcasts for too long, Henry.
00:21:05But you
00:21:07are his son.
00:21:09Prove it.
00:21:21You're late.
00:21:23I need to talk to you.
00:21:25Wait, I have to tell you something first.
00:21:27Mr. Riffus is coming.
00:21:29He is a huge client and he's having a meeting with me here.
00:21:31Victor Riffus?
00:21:33Since when is he important?
00:21:35He's agreed to read my project proposal.
00:21:37Listen, I'm not playing this assistant game with you.
00:21:39Oh, okay, I get it.
00:21:41I know this job isn't for me.
00:21:43But I need to talk to you.
00:21:45I need to talk to you.
00:21:47I need to talk to you.
00:21:49Okay, I get it.
00:21:51I know this job isn't ideal, but please just help me land this deal.
00:21:53Look,
00:21:55I can save Starlight Homes.
00:21:57But if I get this money,
00:21:59I can help Mrs. Green move everybody out
00:22:01and 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,
00:22:17leave Starlight Homes.
00:22:23Take the money,
00:22:25forget about the orphanage,
00:22:27just go somewhere else and start over.
00:22:29Why do you care?
00:22:31Lila Collins?
00:22:33Oh, Mr. Rivers.
00:22:35It is a pleasure to meet you.
00:22:37It's a pleasure.
00:22:47This is my assistant.
00:22:49I'm not your assistant.
00:22:51Sorry.
00:22:53He's a new hire.
00:22:55Has anyone ever told you you look like someone?
00:22:59Oh, yes. Vaughn.
00:23:05Yes, it's Vaughn.
00:23:07Henry Vaughn.
00:23:09Robert Pattinson?
00:23:11Lila said I look like him, but I think I'm better looking.
00:23:13Sorry.
00:23:15He's just joking.
00:23:17Please, take a seat.
00:23:25This is my project proposal.
00:23:27Please feel free to ask any questions.
00:23:29Oh, well.
00:23:33As your, um,
00:23:35Miss Collins, Henry Vaughn's girlfriend,
00:23:37I'll be straightforward.
00:23:39I was thinking of gifting him a
00:23:41Chopard watch.
00:23:43What do you think?
00:23:45Uh, a what watch?
00:23:47Sorry?
00:23:49Surely you've heard of a Chopard watch?
00:23:51No, I...
00:23:53I guess watches are just
00:23:55a bit impractical.
00:23:57I just tend to use this.
00:24:01You are quite funny.
00:24:03I never imagined Vaughn
00:24:05would go for someone
00:24:07from your background.
00:24:09What do you two even
00:24:11talk about?
00:24:13Oh, you know, just life.
00:24:15Life?
00:24:17You call your cheap clothes and second-hand
00:24:19shoes life?
00:24:21You're from completely different worlds.
00:24:23Of course, maybe Vaughn finds your
00:24:25humour or your ignorance
00:24:27entertaining.
00:24:29Yeah, lucky me.
00:24:31But your private affairs
00:24:33with Vaughn are none of my concern.
00:24:35And as for your business proposal,
00:24:37I shan't be taking it forward.
00:24:39We only ever do business with people with
00:24:41class.
00:24:43Mr. Rivers, you haven't even looked at it yet.
00:24:45Please, please just give me a chance.
00:24:47Is this how you won over Henry Vaughn?
00:24:49By being desperate and clingy?
00:24:51Well, it won't work with me, Miss Collins.
00:24:53Don't come near me again.
00:24:55I'm allergic to poverty.
00:24:57No, please, you haven't even read it.
00:25:03Mr. Rivers!
00:25:05I'm warning you, Miss Collins.
00:25:07Don't play these little games with me.
00:25:09What games? I'm just asking for a chance.
00:25:11You've proved you don't belong in this circle.
00:25:13And I'm not interested in your proposal.
00:25:15What, all this humiliation
00:25:17just because I don't know the brand of a luxury watch?
00:25:19Let me explain it
00:25:21so that you'll understand.
00:25:23Simple examples for someone like you.
00:25:25Think of it this way.
00:25:27You need a ticket to board a train
00:25:29to enter the theatre.
00:25:31And for certain business opportunities,
00:25:33you need a ticket too.
00:25:35A ticket?
00:25:37Exactly. Watches, cars,
00:25:39wines, houses, luxury.
00:25:41These are the tickets of the elite.
00:25:43Do you understand now?
00:25:47What, so I don't even qualify to sit
00:25:49and discuss business with you?
00:25:51You might think dating Henry Vaughn means that
00:25:53you 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.
00:25:59I'm quite sure.
00:26:01Mr. Rivers, you don't know anything about me.
00:26:03Oh, come on. I know enough.
00:26:05And if you ever want to talk
00:26:07business opportunities, maybe clean up
00:26:09your appearance first.
00:26:11Showing up in old polyester
00:26:13is most impolite.
00:26:15Leaving so soon?
00:26:17Mr. Rivers?
00:26:19We haven't finished
00:26:21our conversation yet.
00:26:23No, I'm done. Step aside.
00:26:25No. Sit back down.
00:26:28I'm just getting started.
00:26:33What are you trying to do?
00:26:35Assistant, I'm warning you.
00:26:37Or what? You'll take away my ticket too?
00:26:39Charge me admission?
00:26:41Stay out of this.
00:26:43Apologize to her.
00:26:45What?
00:26:47The things you've said were beyond rude.
00:26:49Offer her an apology now.
00:26:51Why would I do that? No.
00:26:53Victor Rivers, as you cling
00:26:55onto your crumbling family empire,
00:26:57you have no right
00:26:59to criticize a hardworking,
00:27:01self-made businesswoman.
00:27:03Oh, do shut up. I'll sue you for slander.
00:27:05Go ahead.
00:27:07Sue. I'm sure the judge
00:27:09would love to hear what you've said today.
00:27:11I'm calling my lawyer right now.
00:27:13You're finished.
00:27:15Lawyers can be tough. You really should apologize to him.
00:27:19The show power of 201.
00:27:21How much is that?
00:27:2325 million?
00:27:25Nowadays? How generous, Mr. Rivers.
00:27:27So?
00:27:29That's exactly my point.
00:27:31The price of nobility.
00:27:33And how much do you owe the bank?
00:27:37More than a few of those watches, right?
00:27:41I don't understand what you're talking about.
00:27:43What are you doing?
00:27:45A year ago,
00:27:47Henry Vaughn discovered corruption
00:27:49in your company and terminated
00:27:51all deals with you,
00:27:53leading to significant financial problems
00:27:55for your group.
00:27:57But yet, you need the banks
00:27:59to 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.
00:28:07It's bullshit.
00:28:09The funny thing is, though,
00:28:11that it was corruption that led to the breakdown
00:28:13with Henry Vaughn, wasn't it?
00:28:15But now you think a 201
00:28:17is just going to buy that all back?
00:28:19It's more like a one-way ticket to jail.
00:28:23I shall sue you.
00:28:25It's all a lie.
00:28:27Fine, call it a lie.
00:28:29We'll verify that in court.
00:28:31Hey, call your lawyer.
00:28:33Friendly advice?
00:28:35Your half-assed lawyer won't beat Barnes.
00:28:39I won't let this go.
00:28:41Your careers are over.
00:28:43I will end you.
00:28:45I doubt it.
00:28:47Please try.
00:28:49Keep me entertained.
00:28:55How would you know all of that?
00:28:59Who are you?
00:29:03Who are you?
00:29:05Listen, Lila,
00:29:07I'm actually...
00:29:09No, it doesn't matter anymore.
00:29:11We lost the deal.
00:29:13That's what matters.
00:29:15The deal?
00:29:17Victor wasn't here for your project.
00:29:19He was using you to get to Henry Vaughn.
00:29:21I know.
00:29:23But if there's even a sliver of a chance,
00:29:25I'll take it.
00:29:27You'd let him humiliate you like that?
00:29:29Look, you sound like you're from
00:29:31a good family.
00:29:33So here's the truth.
00:29:35The world isn't a fairy tale.
00:29:37Yeah, he'll mock me, so what?
00:29:39If it helps the people I care about,
00:29:41then I will swallow it.
00:29:43Money isn't worth
00:29:45this.
00:29:47It is when it protects the people that matter.
00:29:49I'm going to beg Victor
00:29:51you can go home.
00:29:53You're still chasing him, even after what he said?
00:29:55Yes, but you can go home.
00:29:57Don't worry.
00:29:59I'll make sure Linda pays you.
00:30:05And thank you for standing up for me today.
00:30:07It was very nice of you.
00:30:09It's just not what I need
00:30:11at the moment.
00:30:17Leave it.
00:30:19It's none of your business.
00:30:23Damn it.
00:30:27David, get SparkUp magazine a sponsorship.
00:30:29SparkUp?
00:30:31Doesn't Lila Collins work there?
00:30:33Just give them the money
00:30:35and credit her.
00:30:37Get it done.
00:30:42This is a mess.
00:30:46But I can't watch her drown.
00:30:51Hey.
00:30:53You okay?
00:30:55Where's your hot assistant?
00:30:57This...
00:30:59Not the right one.
00:31:01Two days ago,
00:31:03you said he was
00:31:05the best assistant ever.
00:31:07And hello.
00:31:09He's a walking burstra.
00:31:13If you fired him, can I date him?
00:31:15No.
00:31:17I mean, stop joking.
00:31:19He's gone.
00:31:21Lila?
00:31:23What did you do?
00:31:25Linda, whatever it is,
00:31:27I promise I'll fix it.
00:31:29Fix it? You're a genius.
00:31:31How did you land such a big sponsor?
00:31:33Victor Rivers agreed to the project.
00:31:35Forget Rivers.
00:31:37He's funding us.
00:31:39You really have Henry Vaughn
00:31:41wrapped around your little finger.
00:31:43Henry Vaughn?
00:31:45Sponsored...
00:31:47us?
00:31:49They said they loved your project proposal.
00:31:51They read my project proposal?
00:31:53Yes. Lila, you're getting a raise.
00:31:55You and your assistant,
00:31:57whatever you two did, keep doing it.
00:32:01My assistant?
00:32:03Could it be...
00:32:05Henry?
00:32:09Hey.
00:32:11Where are you going?
00:32:21This is the address
00:32:23HR gave me.
00:32:25This can't be right.
00:32:29This is where he lives?
00:32:33Your father is losing patience.
00:32:35What's the delay with them all?
00:32:37Starlight Homes is already moving out.
00:32:39Just throw them out.
00:32:41The clock is ticking.
00:32:43There are still children in there.
00:32:45You want me to toss them out onto the street?
00:32:47Like we were tossed aside?
00:32:49Do you have any idea
00:32:51how serious this is?
00:32:53Without your father's support,
00:32:55we will lose everything.
00:32:57The project will finish on time.
00:32:59It's too late.
00:33:01Your little charity case with that girl
00:33:03is all over the news.
00:33:05I can't clean up your mess anymore.
00:33:07What are you talking about?
00:33:09I've spoken to the Browns.
00:33:13Helen's returning soon.
00:33:15You'll marry her.
00:33:17No. No.
00:33:19Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:33:21Wake up, Henry.
00:33:23As the heir to Vaughn Enterprise,
00:33:25your marriage isn't a choice.
00:33:27It's a transaction.
00:33:29It's a transaction.
00:33:33And it better be a good one.
00:33:39A contract marriage?
00:33:41Benefits no one?
00:33:43You're really willing to ruin two people without a second thought?
00:33:45Helen has agreed to this, Henry.
00:33:47You better accept your fate.
00:33:49It's not up for discussion.
00:33:51And it's worth it?
00:33:53Just to keep your place in this family?
00:33:55I have scheduled an exclusive interview.
00:33:57In 30 minutes,
00:33:59you will be on live broadcast
00:34:01clarifying the scandal
00:34:03and announcing your engagement
00:34:05to Helen.
00:34:07You're in a real hurry, aren't you?
00:34:09With or without you,
00:34:11the announcement will take place.
00:34:13Now, if you show up, it's just an engagement.
00:34:15If you don't,
00:34:17I'll take actions
00:34:19against Starlight Holmes and Lila Collins.
00:34:21Is this a threat?
00:34:23You think I care
00:34:25about Lila Collins?
00:34:29I knew what happened
00:34:31with Victor Rivers, Henry.
00:34:33You're just not yourself
00:34:35when you're with her.
00:34:37If you can't clean up your mess,
00:34:39I will.
00:34:43Like always.
00:34:53Okay.
00:35:23Where are you?
00:35:31Hey!
00:35:33Hey, stop!
00:35:53Whoa.
00:35:55That was close.
00:35:57Did she even realize
00:35:59how dangerous that was?
00:36:01Hi.
00:36:03Is there a Henry here?
00:36:05I really need
00:36:07to find my assistant.
00:36:09Does he live here or
00:36:11work here?
00:36:15What's going on?
00:36:17Do you know him or not?
00:36:19Did I get the wrong place?
00:36:21Hello? I know there is
00:36:23someone in there. Please, just open up.
00:36:25Please, I really need to...
00:36:39Henry.
00:36:43Henry.
00:36:47You're really here.
00:36:49What 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?
00:36:57It was you!
00:36:59How do you know
00:37:01Vaughn Enterprise?
00:37:03So that's why you came?
00:37:05To investigate your sponsorship?
00:37:07Either way, we have nothing to do
00:37:09with each other anymore.
00:37:11You fired me, remember?
00:37:13I love you.
00:37:15I've got things to do.
00:37:17So drag this out.
00:37:21I came to say thank you.
00:37:23I was out of line last time,
00:37:25I know that, but
00:37:27you stood up for me against Victor Rivers
00:37:29and, look,
00:37:31I wanted to shut him down too, but
00:37:35I've gotten so used to just
00:37:37handling things on my own
00:37:39and swallowing my pride.
00:37:43But then you showed up.
00:37:47I don't know how to say this, but
00:37:51thank you.
00:37:53Also, I hate
00:37:55owing people, and this will be
00:37:57nothing compared to what you did for me, but
00:37:59I would like
00:38:01to buy you dinner
00:38:03as a proper thank you.
00:38:07So what do you say?
00:38:09Dinner?
00:38:11Dinner.
00:38:15Viola Collins,
00:38:19you may be my greatest
00:38:21mistake.
00:38:27Okay, I did say
00:38:29I'd treat you, but
00:38:31one meal here
00:38:33might cost more than my entire paycheck.
00:38:35You said I could pick the place.
00:38:37I did, but
00:38:42aren't you
00:38:44going to answer that?
00:38:48It doesn't matter.
00:38:50I've already made my decision.
00:38:52I don't know why, but
00:38:54you seem different.
00:38:56Like there's a side to you I don't know.
00:38:58Breaking news.
00:39:00Laura Vaughan has just announced the engagement of
00:39:02Henry Vaughan and Helen Brown,
00:39:04heirs to two of the nation's largest enterprises.
00:39:06Mrs. Vaughan, your son was just
00:39:08involved in a scandal. How was he suddenly engaged?
00:39:10And how about his roommate girlfriend,
00:39:12Lila Collins? Is this a cover-up?
00:39:14I'll answer all your questions.
00:39:16First, regarding Miss Lila Collins,
00:39:18she has no
00:39:20romantic ties to my son.
00:39:22In fact,
00:39:24she is nothing but a liar,
00:39:26clinging to Henry in a desperate attempt to
00:39:28retention. I am formally
00:39:30announcing Miss Lila Collins
00:39:32and Starlight Homes will be
00:39:34facing legal action.
00:39:40You were never actually engaged
00:39:42to Henry Vaughan,
00:39:44were you?
00:39:46No, I admit it.
00:39:48But it was just a misunderstanding
00:39:50at first. I never meant
00:39:52for it to spiral like this.
00:39:54I needed a way to save Starlight Homes
00:39:56and then
00:39:58one thing led to another and
00:40:00well, things got out of control.
00:40:04Laura Vaughan is suing you.
00:40:06She's labeled you
00:40:08as a liar.
00:40:10And soon the entire public
00:40:12will believe it.
00:40:14And if they think you could lie about an engagement,
00:40:18they'd believe you'd lie about anything,
00:40:20including
00:40:22Starlight Homes.
00:40:24But that's the truth. It's not a lie.
00:40:26It doesn't matter. People believe what they want to believe.
00:40:30Why are you telling me this?
00:40:32Because I'm offering you an alternative.
00:40:34What kind
00:40:36of alternative?
00:40:38A real engagement.
00:40:40We turn the lie
00:40:42into the truth.
00:40:44What?
00:40:46How did they get here
00:40:48so fast?
00:40:50Because I invited them.
00:40:52You did what?
00:40:54The only way to kill a rumor
00:40:56is to start another one.
00:40:58What exactly are you planning?
00:41:00Did you really think
00:41:02an ordinary assistant would live in that house?
00:41:04No luxury brands
00:41:06by heart?
00:41:08And an inside knowledge
00:41:10of every industry?
00:41:12What are you saying?
00:41:16I told you
00:41:18I wasn't there for an interview.
00:41:20I was there for you.
00:41:24To meet someone who claimed to be
00:41:28my fiancé.
00:41:30You're saying
00:41:32that you are...
00:41:34Mr. Vaughn!
00:41:36Mr. Vaughn!
00:41:38What's your statement on your mother's press conference?
00:41:40Is the engagement real?
00:41:42Why are you dining with Isla Collins right now?
00:41:44Who exactly is your fiancé?
00:41:46He is
00:41:48Henry Vaughn.
00:41:56Mr. Vaughn, what is the statement on your mother?
00:41:58Is the engagement real?
00:42:00Please, everyone, you're disturbing me
00:42:02and my guests. I'll issue a statement soon
00:42:04but for now, give us a moment.
00:42:06Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:08How long have you been together?
00:42:10I mean, seven children.
00:42:12How many kids do you have?
00:42:14Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:20What exactly do you want?
00:42:22I want to make a deal.
00:42:24I'll give you enough money
00:42:26to relocate Starlight Homes.
00:42:28In exchange,
00:42:30we stay engaged,
00:42:32breaking off my marriage
00:42:34with Helen Brown.
00:42:36You 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, right?
00:42:46I can make sure
00:42:48she gets the best treatment,
00:42:50best resources.
00:42:52I'll give you enough
00:42:54to rebuild Starlight Homes
00:42:56somewhere else, exactly
00:42:58as it is now.
00:43:00But you have to move.
00:43:02And this fake engagement?
00:43:04It's the only way to escape
00:43:06the 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 with your money
00:43:16and you can open an orphanage
00:43:18anywhere 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?
00:43:28I don't think
00:43:30you have a choice.
00:43:32Lila, this is the
00:43:34only option.
00:43:36The great Henry Vaughn
00:43:38pretends to be my assistant
00:43:40and plays me
00:43:42and entertains me
00:43:44like some rich kid's game.
00:43:46What an
00:43:48honor.
00:43:51What 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
00:44:10for everyone,
00:44:12Lila and I included.
00:44:14But what I can say is that I admire
00:44:16Lila Collins immensely.
00:44:20Her personality,
00:44:22her strength.
00:44:24There's something about her I've never
00:44:26seen in anyone before.
00:44:28As for the press
00:44:30conference today,
00:44:32I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:44:34I want to extend my apologies to
00:44:36Miss Helen Braun. However,
00:44:38there is no romantic relationship between us.
00:44:40We are not engaged.
00:44:42So you are engaged
00:44:44to Lila? Of course.
00:44:46All the rumors you've heard about us,
00:44:48it's true.
00:44:50Tonight's date speaks
00:44:52for itself.
00:44:54Right, Lila?
00:44:58Yes.
00:45:00Yes, that's right.
00:45:02Congratulations!
00:45:04This is incredible! Congrats!
00:45:06Thank you. And of course,
00:45:08special thanks
00:45:10to the woman by my side.
00:45:12I hate him.
00:45:14And I hate myself.
00:45:18Because for just one
00:45:20fleeting moment,
00:45:24I wished it was real.
00:45:34Evening
00:45:36to you too, Father. Don't
00:45:38call yourself my son
00:45:40and then humiliate this family!
00:45:42I told you to handle
00:45:44the mall project, shut down
00:45:46Starlight Homes, and instead
00:45:48you're seen with an activist!
00:45:50Henry must have been blackmailed. And you?
00:45:52A press conference turned into
00:45:54a joke? My interns could handle PR
00:45:56better than you.
00:45:58I've reached
00:46:00an agreement with Lila Collins.
00:46:02She'll move Starlight Homes within the week.
00:46:04The mall project won't be on schedule.
00:46:06It'll be a month ahead of time.
00:46:08And why would she move?
00:46:10Oh,
00:46:12what have you promised her?
00:46:14Don't tell me you've agreed to marry her.
00:46:16We went through hell
00:46:18negotiating the Brown family alliance.
00:46:20That marriage won't stop the rumors.
00:46:22It'll make them worse.
00:46:24Times have changed. People don't
00:46:26blindly believe tabloid scandal anymore.
00:46:28Sooner or later, someone's
00:46:30going to find out that we used power
00:46:32and intimidation to force Starlight Homes
00:46:34out. And when that happens, who's going to
00:46:36clear our name? The Browns?
00:46:38They never wanted this mess
00:46:40in the first place. This is the
00:46:42only way forward. I promise you.
00:46:44This mall,
00:46:46I'll see it done.
00:46:54This is your last chance.
00:46:56Once it's done,
00:46:58get rid of the girl.
00:47:06Don't make me regret this.
00:47:12You
00:47:16might be able to fool your father,
00:47:18but I know
00:47:20my son.
00:47:22It was to protect the girl,
00:47:24wasn't it?
00:47:28I don't know
00:47:30what you're talking about.
00:47:32What did she do to you,
00:47:34Henry? Do you
00:47:36know how long we fought to get here?
00:47:38You fought.
00:47:40Have you ever stopped
00:47:42to think that I never wanted any of this
00:47:44in the first place?
00:47:46The wealth, the power. Sure, you gave me
00:47:48all of that, but at what cost?
00:47:50Pretending to be something
00:47:52that we're not? How is that
00:47:54any different from the people who
00:47:56resented us?
00:47:58You sound like those useless
00:48:00brats, chasing after
00:48:02some fantasy called freedom.
00:48:04Tell me,
00:48:06without money, without status,
00:48:08what do you have?
00:48:10Nothing.
00:48:12And when that day comes,
00:48:14the girl will be gone too.
00:48:38You again.
00:48:40You're that guy
00:48:42that came with the Vaughns.
00:48:44Their servant, right?
00:48:46You said I was a servant.
00:48:48Whatever.
00:48:50At least you're not that prick.
00:48:52Prick?
00:48:54Yeah, Henry Vaughn.
00:48:56Total nightmare.
00:49:00You've met him?
00:49:02No, not exactly,
00:49:04but I've seen him from a distance,
00:49:06surrounded by people,
00:49:08acting all important, like he's
00:49:10royalty or something.
00:49:12You hate him for that?
00:49:14No. I hate him because
00:49:16every time he comes here, we have to spend
00:49:18days preparing. Mrs. Green
00:49:20is old and her health isn't great.
00:49:22But every time the Vaughns
00:49:24decide to use us as this little PR
00:49:26stunt, she has to
00:49:28get up, pose for photos
00:49:30and look presentable.
00:49:32We scrub
00:49:34the halls, we rehearse
00:49:36fake answers for reporters, and we have
00:49:38to hide all our old
00:49:40toys. God forbid
00:49:42the Vaughns see how we really live.
00:49:44They don't
00:49:46care about us.
00:49:48All they care about is looking good.
00:49:52I see.
00:49:54So, yeah.
00:49:58I hope he stops coming.
00:50:00I hope I never see Henry
00:50:02Vaughn 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.
00:50:20You won't.
00:50:28We met again, after all.
00:50:32Stick close
00:50:34and breathe.
00:50:36Easy for you to say.
00:50:38Trust me, it wasn't easy at first.
00:50:44This is your first public appearance together.
00:50:46It's tonight's the day.
00:50:48Lila, how does it feel dating the city's most eligible bachelor?
00:50:50Breathe.
00:50:52You're gonna learn everything you're born to do.
00:50:54You're gonna learn everything you're born to do.
00:50:56You're gonna learn everything you're born to do.
00:50:58You're gonna learn everything you're born to do.
00:51:00You're gonna learn everything else.
00:51:02They're staring.
00:51:04Why are they staring? Is something wrong with my dress?
00:51:06You're my fiancée.
00:51:08No one will question that.
00:51:10Good morning, Mr. Vaughn.
00:51:12This is Mina, the family.
00:51:14Lila!
00:51:20Good morning, Mr. Vaughn.
00:51:22This is Mina, the family.
00:51:24Lila!
00:51:30Lila!
00:51:36Have we met before?
00:51:38Why do you ask?
00:51:40You seem familiar.
00:51:42You have been to Starlight Homes before.
00:51:44You have been to Starlight Homes before.
00:51:46We must have met there.
00:51:48No.
00:51:50Trust me, if I'd met someone this loud before,
00:51:52I probably would have remembered.
00:51:54Excuse me?
00:51:56If I'd met you before, I would have remembered too.
00:51:58Why are you laughing?
00:52:00Why are you laughing?
00:52:18Well,
00:52:20if it isn't my former fiancée
00:52:22and his charity case.
00:52:24She's my guest tonight, Helen.
00:52:26Oh, I'm joking.
00:52:28What, no warm welcome?
00:52:30We haven't seen each other for five years.
00:52:32We were never that close.
00:52:34We were never that close.
00:52:36Ouch.
00:52:38You've gotten meaner.
00:52:40Do you remember high school?
00:52:42Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:52:44Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:52:46I was the only one shutting them off.
00:52:48Thanks for reminding me.
00:52:50Don't get me wrong.
00:52:52Your background's messy.
00:52:54But men like your father,
00:52:56they do have plenty of affairs.
00:52:58Your mother being a nurse
00:53:00is not exactly shocking.
00:53:08You didn't know.
00:53:10Henry wasn't even raised in the Vaughn mansion at first.
00:53:12There was a time that he was kicked out.
00:53:14That's enough, Helen.
00:53:18Why are you here?
00:53:20I'm just curious.
00:53:22I wanted to see what's really going on
00:53:24between you two lovebirds.
00:53:26And? What do you see?
00:53:28Exactly what I assumed.
00:53:32A fake engagement.
00:53:38You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:53:40Honey, I haven't even started.
00:53:42But if you two want to continue
00:53:44your little pretend game,
00:53:46I'm happy to play along.
00:53:48We need to talk.
00:54:10You just left me standing there?
00:54:12What am I, a damn prop?
00:54:14Gee.
00:54:16She practically golded herself to him.
00:54:20Aw.
00:54:22Did I hurt your feelings?
00:54:24I'm just leaving.
00:54:26Wait!
00:54:28I like you,
00:54:30so I'm going to give you a little friendly warning.
00:54:32Stay away from him.
00:54:34He's mine.
00:54:38He's mine.
00:54:40Maybe you should tell him that.
00:54:42He's the one who called off your engagement.
00:54:44He said he was feeling trapped.
00:54:46Can you imagine?
00:54:48Someone like us feeling something like that?
00:54:50God thinks he's living in a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:54:52What exactly are you trying to say?
00:54:54That we understand each other.
00:54:58When Henry struggled to fit in,
00:55:00I was the one who helped him.
00:55:02I was the one who brought him
00:55:04into our circle.
00:55:06Without me, he would be no more
00:55:08than an illegitimate shadow.
00:55:10Are you saying he needs you?
00:55:12I'm saying I made him.
00:55:14And now, just because of you,
00:55:16he's ready to throw it all away.
00:55:18That's not happening.
00:55:20Let me fill you in.
00:55:22Henry promised his father that the second Starlight Home would be gone.
00:55:24So would you.
00:55:26I don't care.
00:55:28Really?
00:55:30Why don't you hear for yourself?
00:55:32Come on.
00:55:40We used power and intimidation
00:55:42to force Starlight Homes out.
00:55:44This is the only way forward.
00:55:46I promise you.
00:55:48This mall, I'll see it done.
00:55:56You take the bedroom, I'll take the couch.
00:55:58Do we really need to live together?
00:56:00Why did you rent an apartment just for this?
00:56:04This may be a fake engagement,
00:56:06but it needs to be convincing.
00:56:10I want a place just for us.
00:56:12No uninvited guests.
00:56:14Right.
00:56:16You wouldn't want someone like me
00:56:18stepping foot in the Vaughn Mansion.
00:56:20That's not what I meant, Lila.
00:56:22Why do you always assume the worst?
00:56:24Get some rest.
00:56:32Why do rich people
00:56:34always put things so high?
00:56:36Try not to break it.
00:56:38It's expensive.
00:56:42I suppose that shelf would be a challenge
00:56:44for a short-legged corgi.
00:56:46I'm not.
00:56:48I'm not a corgi.
00:56:50Henry?
00:56:52Can I ask you something?
00:56:54And...
00:56:56can you promise me
00:56:58you won't lie to me?
00:57:04Can you promise me
00:57:06you won't lie to me?
00:57:08Depends on what you ask.
00:57:12Right.
00:57:14Of course.
00:57:16Right.
00:57:18Of course.
00:57:20You made this engagement deal
00:57:22for Starlight Homes, right?
00:57:26A so-called
00:57:28win-win.
00:57:30Was it all just
00:57:32a new PR strategy for Vaughn Enterprise?
00:57:40Answer me.
00:57:42I already told you.
00:57:44You get what you want
00:57:46and I get what I want.
00:57:48But what do you want, Henry?
00:57:50I don't get you.
00:57:52You could have thrown me out, but you didn't.
00:57:54You met Mrs. Green.
00:57:56You knew exactly what would break me,
00:57:58but you never, ever
00:58:00used it.
00:58:02You could have labeled me
00:58:04a liar.
00:58:06To paint me as the woman who came
00:58:08in between you and Helen.
00:58:10But you didn't.
00:58:12Why?
00:58:14Was it all just a way
00:58:16to make sure I willingly
00:58:18move Starlight Homes to fake an engagement?
00:58:22Was it worth it?
00:58:24Henry Vaughn,
00:58:26why
00:58:28are you helping me?
00:58:34I made my terms clear.
00:58:36You need to move Starlight Homes within a week.
00:58:38No, that's not an answer.
00:58:42All my life,
00:58:44I've been pretending
00:58:46to be someone I'm not.
00:58:52My mother went through hell
00:58:54because of where she came from.
00:58:58She always said she didn't want me to suffer
00:59:00like she did, so
00:59:02I did what was expected.
00:59:04I pushed.
00:59:06I fought.
00:59:08I became the
00:59:10I became the
00:59:12perfect heir.
00:59:16The one who deserved to lead the Vaughn family.
00:59:22But I'm not them.
00:59:26I never was.
00:59:28I know that.
00:59:32And everything you said,
00:59:34using Mrs. Green
00:59:36to threaten you,
00:59:38forcing you all out without warning,
00:59:40I did consider it.
00:59:42I'm not a saint.
00:59:46The thought crossed my mind more than once.
00:59:50But you didn't.
00:59:54Look, I don't want to talk about us like this,
00:59:56not while everything's still a mess.
01:00:00But what I said about you,
01:00:04that I admire your resilience,
01:00:06that you got to me,
01:00:10none of that was a lie.
01:00:16I...
01:00:18I think...
01:00:36I...
01:00:48Henry Vaughn,
01:00:50don't betray my trust.
01:01:06Uh...
01:01:28It's just a call, my fiancé.
01:01:30It's not too much.
01:01:32Right?
01:01:36Aw.
01:01:38Okay.
01:01:42Lila?
01:01:44Oh, you picked up.
01:01:46Uh, I figured you
01:01:48left early this morning,
01:01:50so I was
01:01:52just checking if
01:01:54everything's okay.
01:01:56Yeah.
01:01:58Oh, okay, well I'm just about to head out, so I...
01:02:00Lila, I'm really sorry, but
01:02:02can we talk later?
01:02:04Yeah. Sure.
01:02:06Don't overthink it.
01:02:08My mother, she's in the hospital.
01:02:10What?
01:02:12What happened? Are you okay?
01:02:14I'm fine. Don't worry.
01:02:16I'll call you back soon, okay?
01:02:18Okay.
01:02:24What the hell happened?
01:02:34Lila, Mrs. Green is missing.
01:02:40What happened?
01:02:42Yesterday, someone came claiming that Starlight Homes is moving
01:02:44and that they wanted to take her on one last visit.
01:02:46We refused.
01:02:48But then last night, she was taken from her ward.
01:02:50How can that happen?
01:02:52I'm so sorry, Lila.
01:02:54All the security footage was erased.
01:02:56Who would want
01:02:58to discharge her early?
01:03:00He said he was here on behalf of your fiancé,
01:03:02Henry Vaughan.
01:03:04Miss Collins,
01:03:06a word, please.
01:03:08We need to talk.
01:03:10Do you work for Henry or Vaughan Enterprise?
01:03:12Does it matter?
01:03:14They're the same. Not to me.
01:03:16I see what he meant.
01:03:18You're special.
01:03:20But special is never what this family needs.
01:03:22What do you want from me?
01:03:24Easy. Walk away now,
01:03:26and we'll make sure
01:03:28Mrs. Green gets the care that she needs.
01:03:30If you had this much power,
01:03:32you could make me disappear
01:03:34without a second thought.
01:03:36Why bother making me a deal?
01:03:38Consider Henry's last kindness to you.
01:03:40This isn't Henry's idea.
01:03:42You can't fool me.
01:03:44Isn't it, though?
01:03:46Lila, you don't know him.
01:03:48No, I know enough.
01:03:50Then ask him.
01:03:52Go.
01:03:54Find him. Confront him.
01:03:56Right now,
01:03:58you don't see it,
01:04:00but he's a part of this family.
01:04:02He's a Vaughan,
01:04:04and there's nothing that you can do about it.
01:04:14This is Henry Vaughan.
01:04:16Leave a message, and I'll get back to you.
01:04:18It's fine.
01:04:20He's just busy.
01:04:22Henry.
01:04:26Henry.
01:04:38The number you have dialed
01:04:40is busy now.
01:04:42No.
01:04:44No.
01:04:46Henry Vaughan.
01:04:48Was this all a game to you?
01:04:50Yes, Doctor.
01:04:52I want the transfer arranged as soon as possible.
01:04:54That's great.
01:04:56I'll coordinate with her guardian.
01:04:58Sir,
01:05:00Mrs. Green has gone missing.
01:05:02What?
01:05:04Someone has taken her from the hospital.
01:05:06Find out who.
01:05:08No need.
01:05:10I just saved your career
01:05:12and secured your place within this family.
01:05:14You're welcome.
01:05:16What did she do?
01:05:18She probably sped things up.
01:05:20You threatened her?
01:05:22Don't be so dramatic.
01:05:24I arranged for Mrs. Green to receive top-tier medical care.
01:05:26And the only condition?
01:05:28Lila walks away from you?
01:05:34How long do you plan
01:05:36to 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!
01:06:12You 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
01:06:22it was exhaustion.
01:06:24This isn't your fault.
01:06:26You've done everything
01:06:28that she's ever expected of you.
01:06:30Don't blame yourself.
01:06:32I'm not blaming myself.
01:06:36I just don't know when it became so hard
01:06:38to be around her.
01:06:41I checked with the doctors.
01:06:43They said that she'd wake soon.
01:06:47Everything's gonna be fine.
01:06:53And really, you couldn't have picked a better hospital.
01:07:00Speaking of which, I have a little update
01:07:02on your fiancé's family situation.
01:07:06You mean Mrs. Green?
01:07:09JHU's doing a new study on VR-assisted memory recovery.
01:07:14They're willing to fast-track her treatment.
01:07:17That's great.
01:07:20Thank you, Helen.
01:07:22No need to thank me.
01:07:24We're friends, aren't we?
01:07:33If you really want to thank me,
01:07:39See?
01:07:41Catching up with me isn't so bad, is it?
01:07:43Today hasn't been the worst.
01:07:46You do remember that we're still friends, right?
01:07:49Even though our engagement's off.
01:07:52Now that we're on the topic of it,
01:07:54I do have to ask.
01:07:57Are you sure you don't want to marry me?
01:08:01A union between our families, we could withstand anything.
01:08:03Helen, 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.
01:08:52Wouldn't that be better?
01:08:55Fine.
01:09:08Buddy 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?
01:10:05I don't know what you're talking about.
01:10:07You're stalling. Why?
01:10:09Henry, I swear I...
01:10:11I'm warning you.
01:10:13Tell me now.
01:10:25What did you do to Lila?
01:10:27Nothing.
01:10:29You better be telling the truth.
01:10:34You never even saw me.
01:10:42I should never have trusted him.
01:10:49Don't go, Lila.
01:10:54You're a liar. Don't touch me.
01:10:56Lila, I didn't lie to you.
01:10:58Go have dinner with your real fiancé.
01:11:00Goodbye.
01:11:02You saw us?
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, okay?
01:11:32I will make it easy for you.
01:11:34You can have your happily ever after.
01:11:36My 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.
01:11:56Let go.
01:11:58Just listen to me, please.
01:12:00Okay?
01:12:02My mother did collapse earlier.
01:12:04I took her to the hospital
01:12:06and she'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 Mrs. Green
01:12:16being taken, okay? I swear.
01:12:18I already suspected David was
01:12:20reporting my movements to my family,
01:12:22so I had someone tail him.
01:12:24You did? Yeah.
01:12:26We'll find Mrs. Green
01:12:28soon.
01:12:30I promise you, Myla,
01:12:32nobody is going to hurt your family.
01:12:34What about lunch?
01:12:36Helen told me about
01:12:38this new treatment, one that could
01:12:40help Mrs. Green recover her memory.
01:12:42I was relieved.
01:12:44Okay? That's all we talked about.
01:12:48She set me up, Myla.
01:12:50She knew you'd see us.
01:12:52She knew you'd call.
01:12:54I think she had David tip her off to your whereabouts
01:12:56just 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.
01:13:18Come on.
01:13:24I know where Mrs. Green is.
01:13:26Let's go take her home.
01:13:36How?
01:13:38How did she get here?
01:13:40David moved her to a different hospital.
01:13:42She must have found her way
01:13:44back here.
01:13:46She remembers this place?
01:13:48Yes, Myla.
01:13:50Maybe she remembers more than we think.
01:13:52And if we give her
01:13:54enough time, maybe she'll remember
01:13:56everything.
01:14:12You've come to tell me
01:14:14your decision, haven't you?
01:14:18You always said you know me.
01:14:20You should already
01:14:22know 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 any other.
01:14:44There will be a park inside,
01:14:46and at its heart,
01:14:48the best orphanage in the world.
01:14:50You're keeping Starlight Hills?
01:14:52Because it belongs there.
01:14:54I'm not tearing it down.
01:14:56I'm making it better.
01:14:58We'll rebuild it into
01:15:00something brighter, something
01:15:02real.
01:15:04And what about your father?
01:15:06He won't stand for this.
01:15:08He wasn't happy at first.
01:15:10I'm sorry, Bryce.
01:15:14I used to think
01:15:16that love meant obeying you,
01:15:20meeting every expectation you set.
01:15:24But love isn't about
01:15:26becoming what someone else wants you 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 that way too.
01:15:40I've been thinking
01:15:42about why you feel like
01:15:44you're not here.
01:15:46I'm not here
01:15:48to change
01:15:50or change
01:15:52the world.
01:15:54I'm here
01:15:56to change your life.
01:15:58You have to change it.
01:16:00I'm here
01:16:02to change the world.
01:16:04I'm here
01:16:06to change the world.
01:16:08About why you feel so familiar?
01:16:14And?
01:16:16I used to hate it when the balloons came to starlight homes.
01:16:19But one day, that changed.
01:16:22Why?
01:16:23Because I met a very handsome, but very quiet, very kind boy.
01:16:34How handsome?
01:16:39I'm sorry it took me so long to recognize you.
01:16:43You're forgiven.
01:16:46I love you.
