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 going to take you for a ride.
00:00:15Oh my God! It's the 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?
00:00:31The only way to kill a rumor is to start another one.
00:00:34I never knew you could carry it into 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.
00:00:49I love you.
00:00:56For just one fleeting moment, I wished it was real.
00:00:59What do you say?
00:01:02Beyonce?
00:01:15I got this.
00:01:17I belong here.
00:01:20Hi.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:24Thank you so much.
00:01:25Thank you so much.
00:01:29Hey, do you know who she was?
00:01:32No clue.
00:01:33I've never seen her before.
00:01:37How's everything? You 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.
00:01:45Our 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, his first public appearance.
00:02:09No one has ever seen him before this.
00:02:11It screams headlines.
00:02:13We need something big.
00:02:15Yeah, I'll confirm after your interview, okay?
00:02:17All right?
00:02:26No sign of Henry Vaughn.
00:02:28Where is he?
00:02:32Vaughn!
00:02:33What's happening?
00:02:34Probably just a glitch.
00:02:35You okay?
00:02:36My hair.
00:02:37It's stuck to your shirt.
00:02:38Can you please help?
00:02:39Hold still.
00:02:40Hold still.
00:02:41Hold still.
00:02:42Can you please help?
00:02:43Hold still.
00:02:44Ow, stop yanking.
00:02:45I'm not yanking.
00:02:46Be patient.
00:02:47Oh, please.
00:02:48Not so rough.
00:02:49Oh, please, just be slow.
00:02:50Come on.
00:02:51Come on, faster.
00:02:52Uh, hey, you may want to hear this.
00:02:58You're doing slow.
00:02:59Come on.
00:03:00Be patient.
00:03:01I can't help it.
00:03:02Ow.
00:03:03I'm sorry.
00:03:04Did that hurt?
00:03:05Just take off your shirt.
00:03:06It's an elevator.
00:03:07Let's not ask.
00:03:08We go live.
00:03:09No.
00:03:11Just take off your shirt.
00:03:12No, in an elevator.
00:03:13Let's not ask.
00:03:14Oh, I'll just do it.
00:03:15Ow.
00:03:18I'm so sorry.
00:03:21Come on, Mr. Vaughn.
00:03:22Get this on your camera.
00:03:23Is this some sort of pinky elevator play?
00:03:25Is that how you get off your nerve?
00:03:27Put the air in.
00:03:28How long have you been such a mean bother, Mr. Vaughn?
00:03:30Oh, okay.
00:03:31I, I, I...
00:03:32Wait!
00:03:33Mr. Vaughn, please!
00:03:34Mr. Vaughn!
00:03:35Mr. Vaughn!
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 that lift with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:54Oh, stop the bullshit.
00:03:56You with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:58Their 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.
00:04:09I know you used to be this hotshot 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.
00:04:23And my boss would like a word with Miss Collins.
00:04:32Table five.
00:04:33He's waiting for you.
00:04:39Is this table five?
00:04:40Sit.
00:04:41Oh, sorry, am I at the wrong table?
00:04:43Don't.
00:04:44We're causing a scene.
00:04:45We need to talk discreetly.
00:04:47Got it.
00:04:48CIA style.
00:04:49Huh?
00:04:50You snuck into the banquet.
00:04:52Who were you looking for?
00:04:53What do you want?
00:04:54I...
00:04:55I was just curious.
00:04:57Don'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.
00:05:09Starlight Homes?
00:05:10The 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.
00:05:22Starlight 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.
00:05:35Yes, it may be old, but it is full of love and memories.
00:05:39And it means the world to those kids.
00:05:43Everyone 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.
00:05:53I 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.
00:06:05About the elevator incident?
00:06:07I'll issue a statement soon.
00:06:09Don't say or do anything, it'll blow over.
00:06:23What an asshole.
00:06:28That stupid prick.
00:06:31Oh, boss, I'll get to work right away.
00:06:34Oh, no, Miss Collins, don't work so hard.
00:06:36You've been non-stop.
00:06:38You deserve a break.
00:06:40Am I getting fired?
00:06:42What? No.
00:06:44You don't need to keep hiding it anymore.
00:06:46You're Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:06:48What?
00:06:50See?
00:06:51That'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.
00:07:00Yes.
00:07:02It is me.
00:07:03I knew it.
00:07:04Only 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.
00:07:17He literally just said no to my face.
00:07:19He's just an arrogant shithead.
00:07:21Okay, then at least we can use it to our advantage
00:07:25and raise money for Starlight.
00:07:26What?
00:07:27Do you really think people will treat us differently?
00:07:29There is no way anyone would do that.
00:07:31Oh, I'll handle your assignments.
00:07:34Anything for Mr. Vaughn's girlfriend.
00:07:36I'll get you coffee from now on.
00:07:38You can have half my project bonus.
00:07:41Lila, I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:07:44Effective immediately.
00:07:52I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:07:56We'll launch an exclusive right away.
00:07:59Ten 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?
00:08:23Oh my god, oh my god, he's such a dream.
00:08:26Next.
00:08:31What is this supposed to be?
00:08:33I think I'm way hotter than your boyfriend.
00:08:37Next.
00:08:40Next.
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.
00:08:56Great.
00:08:57Next.
00:09:01Miss Collins, you remember me?
00:09:04Uh, your voice sounds familiar.
00:09:07Yes, I think I've heard it somewhere before.
00:09:10Wait, 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.
00:09:28Fine, fine, I'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.
00:09:39But 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.
00:09:48Wow, really?
00:09:50Absolutely.
00:09:52You know, men are such simple creatures.
00:09:54I gave him one kiss, and then he completely lost it.
00:09:57He 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.
00:10:09I mean, it's outrageous, really.
00:10:10Oh, by the way, what's your name?
00:10:12I'm Henry.
00:10:13Oh, it doesn't matter. Forget it.
00:10:14You 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.
00:10:43Build 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, some 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, 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.
00:11:11David?
00:11:13I need to know everything about Lila Collins.
00:11:26Is she okay?
00:11:28She's getting worse. She's not recognized anyone since yesterday.
00:11:32I don't know what happened to her.
00:11:34I don't know what happened to her.
00:11:36I don't know what happened to her.
00:11:38She's not recognized anyone since yesterday.
00:11:43Mrs. Green?
00:11:45How are you feeling?
00:11:48I'm knitting sweaters for my children.
00:11:52You know, I have an orphanage.
00:11:55That's wonderful.
00:11:58You should see it.
00:12:00It's brand new.
00:12:03Do you know who I am?
00:12:05Mom?
00:12:08It's okay.
00:12:11It's okay.
00:12:15You're not my mom.
00:12:17No.
00:12:19But to me, you're just like a mother.
00:12:23And I'll save our home.
00:12:29Hey, newbie.
00:12:32Thanks for today.
00:12:34Just give me a sec, I'll go solve the payment.
00:12:37So heartbreaking.
00:12:39Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:45Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:47Of course. It's getting demolished next month.
00:12:50Poor Lila. What's she going to do?
00:12:52Right? Mrs. 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. She's been taking care of Mrs. Green for ten years.
00:13:03And just like that, it's all disappearing.
00:13:06And for what? Just another massive shopping mall? Just wiping it out like that?
00:13:25I know. He's so dreamy.
00:13:27I hope he can visit every day.
00:13:36And this one, who's that for?
00:13:38This is for Sherry. She loves lavender.
00:13:43This one? What about this one?
00:13:45Lily. Of course.
00:13:47She just loves yellow.
00:14:06I'll see you next time.
00:14:08And the sweaters will be ready.
00:14:14She's really sweet.
00:14:16Thanks for coming with me today, newbie.
00:14:18I didn't really have a choice. You dragged me here.
00:14:21Well, still.
00:14:24Thanks for not leaving.
00:14:30So, uh...
00:14:33So, uh, Mrs. Green's the reason you won't leave Starlight Homes?
00:14:37I mean, you saved up all that money and you still won't move?
00:14:41Well, I haven't saved enough yet.
00:14:43And I haven't figured out what to do with Mrs. Green.
00:14:47The Vaughn Enterprise gave me an ultimatum.
00:14:50I have to be out next month, so I guess that's it.
00:14:55What are you going to do?
00:14:57Whatever it takes. I'll sell everything I can if I have to.
00:15:00No matter what, I am protecting my home and my family.
00:15:05You said you were engaged with Henry Vaughn, right?
00:15:09I 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. It's a lie.
00:15:24Ready to tell the truth?
00:15:26Yes.
00:15:29The 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. That'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.
00:16:26But that bastard Henry Vaughn, he better pray I don't catch him.
00:16:39Oh no. Mr. Vaughn!
00:16:41Wait. Did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:16:56Wait. Did somebody just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:17:00Careful.
00:17:16Newbie, what are you doing?
00:17:19I was just about to ask you the same thing.
00:17:26You're so glued to your phone.
00:17:28You should be more careful.
00:17:30So 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. Make 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.
00:18:19Not to be nosy, but you're really bad at this.
00:18:23It's none of your business.
00:18:25Who even are you?
00:18:27Same as everybody else here. I'm an orphan.
00:18:30They take kids your age?
00:18:32No, I've been here since I was a little girl.
00:18:34I'm not an orphan.
00:18:36I'm not an orphan.
00:18:38I'm not an orphan.
00:18:40I'm not an orphan.
00:18:42I'm not an orphan.
00:18:44I'm an orphan.
00:18:46I'm an orphan.
00:18:49I'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.
00:18:57This place is my home.
00:18:59I wouldn't trade it for anything.
00:19:01Oh, what about you? Why are you here?
00:19:03There's an event.
00:19:05Oh.
00:19:07You're with the Vaughn family.
00:19:09Volunteering.
00:19:11Giving back to the community, right?
00:19:13Why'd you say it like that?
00:19:15You know why rich people don't do charity unless PR and cameras are involved.
00:19:22But...
00:19:24you seem...
00:19:26different?
00:19:28A little clumsier, a bit less polished.
00:19:30You're not one of them, are you?
00:19:32Do I not look like one?
00:19:34No.
00:19:36You seem...
00:19:38I don't know, a little more human.
00:19:42Here, give me your hand.
00:19:45Come on.
00:19:49This is for you.
00:19:51I don't like chocolate.
00:19:53Nonsense. Everybody likes chocolate.
00:20:11You have let your father down.
00:20:14Let me guess, you're here about the rumor?
00:20:16You mean the scandal?
00:20:18Your father is furious.
00:20:20He's already talking about replacing you.
00:20:22Shocking. He's only been threatening that for the past 25 years.
00:20:25Henry, I didn't claw my way up the social ladder just to be thrown out of the Vaughn family.
00:20:30You've made that clear for the past 25 years as well.
00:20:34This isn't a joke.
00:20:36Did you forget how they treat us like trash?
00:20:38Just because I was his nurse when I gave birth to you.
00:20:44It's a misunderstanding.
00:20:48It doesn't concern you.
00:20:50Good.
00:20:52Then fix it.
00:20:54Get rid of her and Starlight Homes.
00:20:56The deal was clear.
00:20:58Build the biggest shopping mall in the world and you'll be heir.
00:21:03We've been outcasts for too long, Henry.
00:21:07But you are his son.
00:21:09Prove it.
00:21:14Let's go.
00:21:33You're late. I need to talk to you.
00:21:35Wait. I have to tell you something first.
00:21:37Mr. Rivers is coming.
00:21:39He is a huge client and he's having a meeting with me here.
00:21:41Victor Rivers?
00:21:43Since when is he important?
00:21:45He's agreed to read my project proposal.
00:21:47Listen, I'm not playing this assistant game with you.
00:21:49Okay, I get it.
00:21:51I know this job isn't ideal, but please just help me land this deal.
00:21:55Look, I can save Starlight Homes.
00:21:57But if I get this money, I 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, you leave Starlight Homes.
00:22:23Take the money, forget about the orphanage.
00:22:25Just go somewhere else and start over.
00:22:27Why 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.
00:22:49This is my assistant.
00:22:51I'm not your assistant.
00:22:53Sorry, he's a new hire.
00:22:55Has anyone ever told you you look like someone?
00:22:59Oh, yes.
00:23:01Vaughn.
00:23:05Yes, it's Vaughn.
00:23:07Henry Vaughn.
00:23:10Lila said I look like him,
00:23:12but 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.
00:23:30Oh, well.
00:23:34As your, um, Mrs. Collins,
00:23:36Henry Vaughn's girlfriend,
00:23:38I'll be straightforward.
00:23:40I was thinking of gifting him
00:23:42a Chopard watch.
00:23:44What do you think?
00:23:46Uh, a what watch?
00:23:48Sorry?
00:23:50Surely you've heard of a Chopard watch.
00:23:52No, I guess
00:23:54watches are just
00:23:56a bit impractical.
00:23:58I just tend to use this.
00:24:02You are quite funny.
00:24:04I never imagined Vaughn
00:24:07would like someone from your background.
00:24:11What do you two even talk about?
00:24:13Oh, you know, just
00:24:15life.
00:24:17Life?
00:24:19You call your cheap clothes and secondhand shoes life?
00:24:21You're from completely different worlds.
00:24:23Of course,
00:24:25maybe Vaughn finds your humor
00:24:27or your ignorance entertaining.
00:24:29Yeah, lucky me.
00:24:33But your private affairs with Vaughn
00:24:35are of great concern.
00:24:37And as for your business proposal,
00:24:39I shan't be taking it forward.
00:24:41We only ever do business
00:24:43with people with class.
00:24:45Mr. Rivers,
00:24:47you haven't even looked at it yet.
00:24:49Please, please just give me a chance.
00:24:51Is this how you run over Henry Vaughn?
00:24:53By being desperate and clingy?
00:24:55Well, it won't work with me, Mrs. Collins.
00:24:57Don't come near me again.
00:24:59I'm allergic to poverty.
00:25:01No, please, you haven't even read it.
00:25:04Mr. Rivers!
00:25:06I'm warning you, Mrs. Collins.
00:25:08Don't play these little games with me.
00:25:10What 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.
00:25:16What, all this humiliation
00:25:18just because I don't know the brand of a luxury watch?
00:25:20Let me explain it
00:25:22so that you'll understand.
00:25:24Simple examples for someone like you.
00:25:26Think of it this way.
00:25:28You need a ticket to board a train
00:25:30to enter the theater.
00:25:32For certain business opportunities,
00:25:34you need a ticket, too.
00:25:36A ticket?
00:25:38Exactly.
00:25:40Watches, cars, wines, houses, luxury.
00:25:42These are the tickets of the elite.
00:25:44Do you understand now?
00:25:46What, so I don't even qualify
00:25:48to sit and discuss business with you?
00:25:50Oh, you might think
00:25:52dating Henry Vaughn means that
00:25:54you have stepped into this circle,
00:25:56but believe me, you haven't.
00:25:58And honestly, I think he will tire of you soon enough.
00:26:01I'm quite sure.
00:26:03Mr. Rivers, you don't know anything about me.
00:26:05Oh, come on. I know enough.
00:26:07And if you ever want to talk business opportunities,
00:26:09maybe clean up your appearance first.
00:26:11Showing up in old polyester
00:26:13is most impolite.
00:26:15Leaving so soon?
00:26:17Mr. Rivers?
00:26:21We haven't finished our conversation yet.
00:26:23No, I'm done.
00:26:25Step aside.
00:26:27No. Sit back down.
00:26:31I'm just getting started.
00:26:35What are you trying to do?
00:26:37Assistant, I'm warning you.
00:26:39Or what?
00:26:41You'll take away my ticket too?
00:26:43Charge me admission?
00:26:45Stay out of this.
00:26:47Apologize to her.
00:26:49What?
00:26:51The things you've said were beyond rude.
00:26:53Offer her an apology now.
00:26:55Why would I do that? No.
00:26:57Victor Rivers, as you cling
00:26:59You have no right to criticize
00:27:01a hard-working, self-made businesswoman.
00:27:03Oh, do shut up.
00:27:05I'll sue you for slander.
00:27:07Go ahead. Sue.
00:27:09I'm sure the judge would love to hear
00:27:11what you've said today.
00:27:13I'm calling my lawyer right now.
00:27:15You're finished.
00:27:17Lawyers can be tough.
00:27:19You really should apologize to him.
00:27:21The show power of 201.
00:27:23How much is that?
00:27:2525 million?
00:27:28So?
00:27:30That's exactly my point.
00:27:32The price of nobility.
00:27:34And how much do you owe the bank?
00:27:38More than a few of those watches, right?
00:27:42I don't understand what you're talking about.
00:27:44What are you doing?
00:27:46A year ago,
00:27:48Henry Vaughn discovered corruption
00:27:50in your company and terminated all deals
00:27:52with you, leading to significant
00:27:54financial problems for your group.
00:27:56But yet,
00:27:58you need the banks to still believe
00:28:00that you're thriving, so you got
00:28:02super creative with the numbers,
00:28:04practically lying to them, correct?
00:28:06That's nonsense.
00:28:08The funny thing is, though,
00:28:10that it was corruption that led
00:28:12to the breakdown with Henry Vaughn,
00:28:14wasn't it?
00:28:16But now you think a 201
00:28:18is just going to buy that all back?
00:28:20It'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
00:28:37won't be 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.
00:28:47But please try.
00:28:49Keep me entertained.
00:28:53How would you know
00:28:55all of that?
00:28:57Who are you?
00:29:01Who are you?
00:29:03Listen, Myla,
00:29:05I'm actually...
00:29:07No, it doesn't matter anymore.
00:29:09We lost the deal.
00:29:11That's what matters.
00:29:13The deal?
00:29:15Victor wasn't here for your project.
00:29:17He was using you to get to Henry Vaughn.
00:29:19What?
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 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 this.
00:29:45It is
00:29:47when it protects the people that matter.
00:29:50I'm going to beg Victor you can go home.
00:29:52You're still chasing him?
00:29:54Even after what he said?
00:29:56Yes, but you can go home.
00:29:58Don't worry.
00:30:00I'll make sure Linda pays you.
00:30:04And thank you
00:30:06for standing up for me today.
00:30:08It was very nice of you.
00:30:10It's just not what I need
00:30:12at the moment.
00:30:14Leave it.
00:30:16It's none of your business.
00:30:20Damn it.
00:30:24David, get SparkUp magazine a sponsorship.
00:30:26SparkUp?
00:30:28Doesn't Lila Collins work there?
00:30:30Just give them the money
00:30:32and credit her.
00:30:34Get it done.
00:30:44This is a mess,
00:30:46but I can't watch her drown.
00:30:52Hey.
00:30:54You okay?
00:30:56Where's your hot assistant?
00:30:58This
00:31:00is not the right one.
00:31:02Two days ago,
00:31:04you said he was
00:31:06the best assistant ever.
00:31:08And hello.
00:31:10He's a walking thirst trap.
00:31:13If you fired him,
00:31:15can I date him?
00:31:17No. I mean, stop joking.
00:31:19He's
00:31:21gone.
00:31:23Lila?
00:31:25What did you do?
00:31:27Linda, whatever it is, I promise I'll fix it.
00:31:29Fix it?
00:31:31You're a genius.
00:31:33How did you land such a big sponsor?
00:31:35Victor Rivers agreed to the project.
00:31:37Forget Rivers.
00:31:39Vaughn's funding us.
00:31:41He wrapped 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, whatever you two did,
00:31:57keep doing it.
00:32:01My assistant?
00:32:05Could it be
00:32:07Henry?
00:32:11Hey,
00:32:13where are you going?
00:32:23This is the address HR gave me.
00:32:25This can't be right.
00:32:29This is where he lives?
00:32:35Your father
00:32:37is losing patience.
00:32:40What's the delay with them all?
00:32:42Starlight Homes is already moving out.
00:32:44Just throw them out. The clock is ticking.
00:32:46There are still children
00:32:48in there.
00:32:50You want me to toss them out onto the street
00:32:52like we were tossed aside?
00:32:54Do you have any idea how serious this is?
00:32:56Without your father's support,
00:32:58we will lose everything.
00:33:00The project
00:33:02will finish on time.
00:33:04It's too late.
00:33:06Your little charity case with that girl
00:33:08is over the news.
00:33:10I can't clean up your mess anymore.
00:33:12What are you talking about?
00:33:14I've spoken to the Browns.
00:33:18Helen's returning soon.
00:33:20You'll marry her.
00:33:22No. No. Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:33:24Wake up, Henry.
00:33:26As the heir to Vaughn Enterprise,
00:33:28your marriage isn't a choice.
00:33:30It's a transaction.
00:33:34And it better be a good one.
00:33:38A contract marriage?
00:33:40It benefits no one?
00:33:42You're really willing to ruin two people
00:33:44without a second thought?
00:33:46Helen has agreed to this, Henry.
00:33:48You better accept your fate.
00:33:50It's not up for discussion.
00:33:52And it's worth it?
00:33:54Just to keep your place in this family?
00:33:56I have scheduled an exclusive interview.
00:33:58In 30 minutes,
00:34:00you will be on live broadcast
00:34:02clarifying the scandal
00:34:04and announcing your engagement to 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,
00:34:15it's just an engagement.
00:34:17If you don't,
00:34:19I'll take actions against Starlight Holmes
00:34:21and Lila Collins.
00:34:23Is this a threat?
00:34:25You think I care
00:34:27about Lila Collins?
00:34:31I knew what happened with 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.
00:35:03Okay.
00:35:29Where are you?
00:35:33Hey!
00:35:41Hey! Hey, stop!
00:35:57Whoa.
00:35:59That was close.
00:36:01Dangerous, that was.
00:36:03Hi.
00:36:05Is there a Henry here?
00:36:07I really need to find my assistant.
00:36:09Does he live here?
00:36:11Or work here?
00:36:17What's going on?
00:36:19Do you know him or not?
00:36:21Did I get the wrong place?
00:36:23Hello? I know there is someone in there.
00:36:25Please, just open up.
00:36:27Please, I really need to...
00:36:31Henry.
00:36:39Henry.
00:36:45Henry.
00:36:47You're really here.
00:36:49What are you doing here?
00:36:51I got your address from HR, but...
00:36:53Wait, that's not important.
00:36:55Did you submit my proposal to Vaughn Enterprise?
00:36:58It was you!
00:37:00How do you know Vaughn Enterprise?
00:37:02So that's why you came?
00:37:04To investigate your sponsorship?
00:37:06Yes, I...
00:37:08Either way, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
00:37:10You fired me.
00:37:12Remember?
00:37:14I love you.
00:37:16I've got things to do.
00:37:18Let's not drag this out.
00:37:20I came to say thank you.
00:37:24I was out of line last time, I know that.
00:37:27But you stood up for me against Victor Rivers, and...
00:37:29Look, I...
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 and swallowing my pride.
00:37:43But then you showed up.
00:37:47I don't know how to say this, but...
00:37:54Also, I hate owing people, and...
00:37:56And this will be nothing compared to what you did for me, but...
00:37:59I would...
00:38:01Like to buy you dinner.
00:38:03As a proper thank you.
00:38:07So what do you say?
00:38:09Dinner?
00:38:16Viola Collins.
00:38:19You may be my greatest mistake.
00:38:27Okay, I did say I'd treat you, but...
00:38:31One meal here might cost me more than my entire paycheck.
00:38:36You said I could pick the place.
00:38:38I did, but...
00:38:44Aren't you gonna answer that?
00:38:48Doesn't matter.
00:38:51I've already made my decision.
00:38:53I don't know why, but...
00:38:55You seem different.
00:38:57Like there is a side to you I don't know.
00:38:59Breaking news.
00:39:00Laura Vaughan has just announced the engagement of Henry Vaughan and Helen Brown.
00:39:04Heirs to two of the nation's largest enterprises.
00:39:07Mrs. Vaughan, your son was just involved in a scandal.
00:39:09How is he suddenly engaged?
00:39:11And how about his rumored girlfriend, Lila Collins?
00:39:13Is this a cover-up?
00:39:14I'll answer all your questions.
00:39:16First, regarding Miss Lila Collins.
00:39:19She 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.
00:39:29I am formally announcing Miss Lila Collins and Starlight Homes will be facing legal action.
00:39:37Henry Vaughan and Lila Collins
00:39:45You were never actually engaged to Henry Vaughan, were you?
00:39:49No, I admit it.
00:39:52But 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...
00:40:01One thing led to another and...
00:40:04Well, 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.
00:40:15And if they think you could lie about an engagement...
00:40:20They'd believe you'd lie about anything.
00:40:22Including 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?
00:40:38A real engagement.
00:40:41We turn the lie into the truth.
00:40:43What?
00:40:47How did they get here so fast?
00:40:49Because I invited them.
00:40:51You did what?
00:40:53The only way to kill a rumor is to start another one.
00:40:58What 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?
00:41:09And 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.
00:41:24To meet someone who claimed to be...
00:41:29My fiancé.
00:41:31You're saying...
00:41:34That you are...
00:41:36Mr. Vaughn! Mr. Vaughn!
00:41:38What's your statement on your mother's press conference?
00:41:41Is the engagement real?
00:41:42Why are you dining with Lila Collins right now?
00:41:44Who exactly is your fiancé?
00:41:47He is...
00:41:49Henry Vaughn.
00:41:54Mr. Vaughn, what is your statement on your mother?
00:41:56Is the engagement real?
00:41:57Why are you dining with Lila Collins right now?
00:41:59Please, everyone, you're disturbing me and my guest.
00:42:01I'll issue a statement soon, but for now, give us a moment.
00:42:04Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:05Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:06Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:07Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:08Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:09Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:10Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:11Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:12Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:13Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:14Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:15Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:16Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:17Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:18Mr. Vaughn!
00:42:20What exactly do you want?
00:42:22I want to make a deal.
00:42:24I'll give you enough money to relocate Starlight Homes.
00:42:28In exchange, we stay engaged,
00:42:32breaking off my marriage with Helen Brown.
00:42:35You think money is what I want?
00:42:37I want Starlight Homes.
00:42:39I want them to stop tearing down our home.
00:42:41I know your priority is Mrs. Green's care, right?
00:42:45I can make sure she gets the best treatment,
00:42:50the best resources.
00:42:52I'll give you enough to rebuild Starlight Homes somewhere else,
00:42:57exactly as it is now.
00:42:59But you have to move.
00:43:01And this fake engagement?
00:43:04It's the only way to escape the wedding trap my mother has set.
00:43:09When this is all over, we can break off the engagement,
00:43:13you'll be free with your money,
00:43:16and you could open an orphanage anywhere in the world for all I care.
00:43:21So that's why you called the press here,
00:43:24to force me into agreeing I never had a real choice, did I?
00:43:29I don't think you have a choice.
00:43:32Lila, this is the only option.
00:43:37The great Henry Vaughn pretends to be my assistant
00:43:42and plays me and entertains me like some rich kid's game.
00:43:47What an honor.
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, Lila and I included,
00:44:13but what I can say is that I admire Lila Collins immensely.
00:44:20Her personality, her strength,
00:44:24there's something about her I've never seen in anyone before.
00:44:29As for the press conference today, I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:44:34I want to extend my apologies to Miss Helen Braun.
00:44:37However, there is no romantic relationship between us.
00:44:41We 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, it's true.
00:44:51Tonight's date speaks for itself.
00:44:55Right, Lila?
00:44:59Yes.
00:45:01Yes, that's right.
00:45:03Congratulations!
00:45:05Incredible! Congrats!
00:45:08And of course, special 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.
00:45:36Evening to you too, Father.
00:45:38Don't call yourself my son and then humiliate this family!
00:45:43I told you to handle the mall project, shut down Starlight Homes,
00:45:48and instead you're seen with an activist.
00:45:50Henry must have been blackmailed.
00:45:52And you, a press conference turned into a joke?
00:45:55My interns could handle PR better than you.
00:46:00I've reached an 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?
00:46:11Oh, what have you promised her?
00:46:14Don't tell me you've agreed to marry her.
00:46:17We went through hell negotiating 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.
00:46:26People don't blindly believe tabloid scandal anymore.
00:46:29Sooner or later, someone's going to find out
00:46:31that we used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:46:35And when that happens, who's going to clear our name?
00:46:37The Browns?
00:46:39They never wanted this mess in the first place.
00:46:42This is the only way forward, I promise you.
00:46:45This mall, I'll see it done.
00:46:55This is your last chance.
00:46:58Once it's done, get rid of the girl.
00:47:06Don't make me regret this.
00:47:16You might be able to fool your father,
00:47:19but 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?
00:47:41Have you ever stopped to think
00:47:43that I never wanted any of this in the first place?
00:47:46The wealth, the power.
00:47:48Sure, 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,
00:48:02chasing after some fantasy called freedom.
00:48:05Tell me, without money, without status,
00:48:09what do you have?
00:48:11Nothing.
00:48:13And when that day comes, the girl will be gone too.
00:48:25You again.
00:48:28You're that guy that came with the Vaughns.
00:48:31Their servant, right?
00:48:33You said I was a servant.
00:48:35Whatever.
00:48:36At least you're not that prick.
00:48:39Prick?
00:48:40I'm not a prick.
00:48:42I'm not a prick.
00:48:44I'm not a prick.
00:48:46I'm not a prick.
00:48:48I'm not a prick.
00:48:50I'm not a prick.
00:48:52Prick.
00:48:53Prick?
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:55Henry Vaughn.
00:48:56Total nightmare.
00:49:02You've met him?
00:49:04No, not exactly, but I've seen him from a distance,
00:49:07surrounded by people acting all important,
00:49:09like 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,
00:49:18we 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.
00:50:11What? Why?
00:50:13Will I see you again?
00:50:18No.
00:50:20You won't.
00:50:28We met again, after all.
00:50:43Stick close. Breathe.
00:50:46Easy for you to say.
00:50:47Trust me, it wasn't easy at first.
00:50:53This is your first public appearance together. It's tonight's a date.
00:50:56Lila, how does it feel dating the city's most eligible bachelor?
00:50:59Breathe. Ignore 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. No one will question it.
00:51:11Mr. Vaughn, does this mean that the family...
00:51:13Lila!
00:51:18Mr. Vaughn, does this mean the family...
00:51:20Lila!
00:51:34Have we met before?
00:51:37Why do you ask?
00:51:39You seem familiar.
00:51:41You have been to Starlight Homes before.
00:51:44We must have met there.
00:51:46No.
00:51:48Trust me, if I'd met someone this loud before, I probably would have remembered.
00:51:52Excuse me?
00:51:54If I'd met you before, I would have remembered too.
00:51:57Prick.
00:52:00Why are you laughing?
00:52:17Well, if it isn't my former fiancée and his charity case.
00:52:25She's my guest tonight, Helen.
00:52:27Oh, I'm joking.
00:52:29What, no warm welcome?
00:52:31We haven't seen each other for five years.
00:52:33We were never that close.
00:52:36Ouch. You've gotten meaner.
00:52:41Do you remember high school?
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.
00:53:08Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:10Henry wasn't even raised in the Vaughn mansion at first.
00:53:13There was a time that he was kicked out.
00:53:15That's enough, Helen.
00:53:19Why are you here?
00:53:21I'm just curious.
00:53:23I wanted to see what's really going on between you two lovebirds.
00:53:26And? What do you see?
00:53:28Exactly what I assumed.
00:53:32A fake engagement.
00:53:35You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:53:38Honey, I haven't even started.
00:53:41But if you two want to continue your little pretend game,
00:53:44I'm happy to play along.
00:53:46We need to talk.
00:54:05You just left me standing there?
00:54:07What am I, a damn prop?
00:54:09She...
00:54:11She practically golded herself down.
00:54:15Ugh.
00:54:16Aww.
00:54:17Did I hurt your feelings?
00:54:21I'm just leaving.
00:54:22Wait!
00:54:24I like you, so I'm going to give you a little friendly warning.
00:54:28Stay away from him.
00:54:30He's mine.
00:54:34He's mine.
00:54:35Maybe you should tell him that.
00:54:37He's the one who called off your engagement.
00:54:39He said he was feeling trapped.
00:54:41Can you imagine?
00:54:43Someone like us feeling something like that?
00:54:46God thinks he's living a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:54:48What exactly are you trying to say?
00:54:50That we understand each other.
00:54:54When his heart is broken,
00:54:56we 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.
00:55:06Without me, he would be no more than an illegitimate shadow.
00:55:09Are you saying he needs you?
00:55:11No.
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.
00:55:17That's not happening.
00:55:19Let me fill you in.
00:55:21Henry promised his father that the second Starlight Home would be gone.
00:55:25So would you.
00:55:26I don't care.
00:55:27Really?
00:55:30Why don't you hear for yourself?
00:55:39We used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:55:43This is the only way forward.
00:55:45I promise you.
00:55:46This 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.
00:56:10I want a place just for us.
00:56:13No uninvited guests.
00:56:16Right.
00:56:17You wouldn't want someone like me stepping foot in the Vaughn Mansion.
00:56:20That's not what I meant, Lila.
00:56:24Why do you always assume the worst?
00:56:28Get some rest.
00:56:36Why do rich people always put things so high?
00:56:41Try not to break it.
00:56:43It's expensive.
00:56:46I suppose that shelf would be a challenge for a short-legged corgi.
00:56:51I'm not.
00:56:53I'm not a corgi.
00:56:57Henry?
00:57:00Can I ask you something?
00:57:03And can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:57:10Can 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 for Starlight Homes, right?
00:57:27A so-called win-win.
00:57:31Was it all just a new PR strategy for Vaughn Enterprise?
00:57:40Answer me.
00:57:42I already told you.
00:57:45You get what you want, and 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, but you never, ever used it.
00:58:03You could have labeled me a liar.
00:58:06To paint me as the woman who came in between you and Helen.
00:58:11But you didn't.
00:58:13Why?
00:58:14Was it all just a way to make sure I willingly moved Starlight Homes?
00:58:19To fake an engagement?
00:58:23Was it worth it?
00:58:25Henry Vaughn.
00:58:28Why are 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.
00:58:46All my life...
00:58:49I've been pretending to be someone I'm not.
00:58:55My mother went through hell because of where she came from.
00:59:01She always said she didn't want me to suffer like 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.
00:59:16The one who deserved to lead the Vaughn family.
00:59:20But I'm not them.
00:59:24I never was.
00:59:26I know that.
00:59:30Everything you said.
00:59:32Using Mrs. Green to threaten you.
00:59:35Forcing you all out without warning.
00:59:37I did consider it.
00:59:39Lila, I'm not a saint.
00:59:43The thought crossed my mind more than once.
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.
01:00:07That you got to me.
01:00:11None of that was a lie.
01:00:16I think...
01:00:47Henry Vaughn.
01:00:50Don't betray my trust.
01:01:17I love you.
01:01:29It's just a call to my fiancée.
01:01:31It's not too much.
01:01:33Right?
01:01:38Okay.
01:01:43Lila?
01:01:44Oh, you picked up.
01:01:46Uh, I figured you left early this morning.
01:01:51So I was just checking if everything'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 can we talk later?
01:02:04Uh, yeah.
01:02:06Sure.
01:02:07Don't overthink it.
01:02:09My mother, she's in the hospital.
01:02:11What?
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.
01:02:23What the hell happened?
01:02:34Lila, Mrs. Green is missing.
01:02:40What happened?
01:02:41Yesterday, someone came claiming that Starlight Homes was 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.
01:02:51How can that happen?
01:02:52I'm so sorry, Lila.
01:02:54All the security footage was erased.
01:02:57Who would want to discharge her early?
01:03:00He said he was here on behalf of your fiancée, Henry Vaughn.
01:03:04Miss Collins, a word, please.
01:03:07We need to talk.
01:03:11Do you work for Henry or Vaughn Enterprise?
01:03:13Does it matter? They're the same.
01:03:15Not to me.
01:03:16I see what he meant.
01:03:18You're special, but special is never what this family needs.
01:03:22What do you want from me?
01:03:24Easy. Walk away now, and we'll make sure Mrs. Green gets the care that she needs.
01:03:31If you had this much power, you could make me disappear without a second thought.
01:03:36Why bother making me a deal?
01:03:39Consider Henry's last kindness to you.
01:03:42This isn't Henry's idea. You can't fool me.
01:03:45Isn't it, though?
01:03:47Lila, you don't know him.
01:03:50No, I know enough.
01:03:52Then ask him.
01:03:54Go. Find him. Confront him.
01:03:58Right now, you don't see it, but he's a part of this family.
01:04:03He's a Vaughn.
01:04:05There's nothing that you can do about it.
01:04:14This is Henry Vaughn. Leave a message and I'll get back to you.
01:04:19It's fine. He's just busy.
01:04:27Henry.
01:04:36Henry.
01:04:40The number you have dialed is busy now.
01:04:42No. No.
01:04:47Henry Vaughn. Was this all a game to you?
01:04:51Yes, Doctor. I want the transfer arranged as soon as possible.
01:04:56That's great. I'll coordinate with her guardian.
01:05:00Sir, Mrs. Green has gone missing.
01:05:03What?
01:05:04Someone has taken her from the hospital.
01:05:06Find out who.
01:05:07No need.
01:05:10I just saved your career and secured your place within this family.
01:05:14You're welcome.
01:05:15What did she do?
01:05:16Well, you were going to get rid of that girl eventually. I simply sped things up.
01:05:20You threatened her?
01:05:21Don't be so dramatic.
01:05:23I arranged for Mrs. Green to receive top-tier medical care.
01:05:27And the only condition? Lila walks away from you.
01:05:35How long do you plan to control my life?
01:05:40Wake up, Henry. You are not just yourself.
01:05:44You are Richard Vaughn's son. My son. And the heir to this family.
01:05:50Have you still not figured that out?
01:05:52Did I ever get a say in any of this?
01:05:58Get back here!
01:06:00Mrs. Vaughn! Mrs. Vaughn!
01:06:04Mrs. Vaughn!
01:06:12You okay?
01:06:15What are you doing here?
01:06:17Well, considering it's my family's hospital, did you really think I wouldn't show?
01:06:22They said it was exhaustion.
01:06:25This isn't your fault. You've done everything that 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 what it became so hard to be around her.
01:06:42I checked with the doctors. They said that she'd wake soon.
01:06:48Everything's gonna be fine.
01:06:54And really, you couldn't have picked a better hospital.
01:06:58Speaking of which, I have a little update on your fiancé's family situation.
01:07:04You mean Mrs. Green?
01:07:06JHU's doing a new study on VR-assisted memory recovery.
01:07:11They're willing to fast-track her treatment.
01:07:14That's great.
01:07:18Thank you, Helen.
01:07:20No need to thank me. We're friends, aren't we?
01:07:24If you really want to thank me...
01:07:30See? Catching up with me isn't so bad, is it?
01:07:33Today hasn't been the worst.
01:07:36You do remember that we're still friends, right?
01:07:39Even though our engagement's off.
01:07:42Now that Juan's gone, I don't know if I'll ever see him again.
01:07:48I'm sorry.
01:07:50Our engagement's off.
01:07:52Now that Juan's the topic of it, I 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.
01:08:04Helen, I'm serious about Lila.
01:08:08I haven't told her yet, but 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. Just one meal.
01:08:41Can I have my friend's full attention for just once?
01:08:44It'll just be one second.
01:08:45Just wait until I explain about Mrs. Green's treatment.
01:08:48Then you can give her all the details at once.
01:08:51Wouldn't that be better?
01:08:55Bye.
01:09:07So the study is still in early works.
01:09:10But if you want her to have a shot, then she should be transferred as soon as possible.
01:09:14I see.
01:09:15I'll talk to Lila.
01:09:17Thank you, Helen.
01:09:25I like her. You know, she's...
01:09:28different.
01:09:31Cute.
01:09:38I need to take this.
01:09:39Why would one keep calling unless it's urgent?
01:09:41I just thought of something.
01:09:44How about we both go to the hospital together and 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.
01:10:07You're stalling. Why?
01:10:09Henry, I swear I...
01:10:10I'm warning you.
01:10:12Tell me now.
01:10:25What did you do to Lila?
01:10:26Nothing!
01:10:28You better be telling the truth.
01:10:35You never even saw me.
01:10:43I should never have trusted him.
01:10:49Don't go, Lila.
01:10:54You're a liar. Don't touch me.
01:10:57Lila, I didn't lie to you.
01:10:59Go have dinner with your real fiancé. Goodbye.
01:11:02You saw us?
01:11:03Oh, so you're finally admitting it.
01:11:06Great. Just fantastic.
01:11:09Mrs. Green is missing and you're out having some romantic meal with Helen.
01:11:12What did you just say? Mrs. Green is missing?
01:11:14Yes, genius. David had her taken.
01:11:17He said you ordered it, but I'm not stupid.
01:11:19I know that you would never do something so pointless.
01:11:21It's my mother.
01:11:23She must have planned this with Helen. No wonder she was pushing the treatment conversation.
01:11:27You know what? It doesn't matter anymore.
01:11:29If you want me gone, just say it. Okay?
01:11:33I will make it easy for you. You can have your happily ever after.
01:11:36My happily ever after is only with you.
01:11:41Stop lying, please. You're using me.
01:11:45And you said you were at the hospital with Laura, but you weren't.
01:11:48And then you hung up on me.
01:11:57Let go.
01:11:58Just listen to me, please. Okay?
01:12:02My mother did collapse earlier.
01:12:05I took her to the hospital.
01:12:07She's stable now.
01:12:09Helen only showed up because it was her family's hospital.
01:12:13She came to find me.
01:12:15I didn't know anything about Mrs. Green being taken, okay?
01:12:18I swear.
01:12:19I already suspected David was reporting my movements to my family, so I had someone tail him.
01:12:24You... you did?
01:12:26Yeah.
01:12:27We'll find Mrs. Green.
01:12:29Soon.
01:12:31I promise you, Myla, nobody is going to hurt your family.
01:12:34What about lunch?
01:12:36Helen told me about this new treatment, one that could help Mrs. Green recover her memory.
01:12:43I was relieved.
01:12:45Okay? 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 tip her off to your whereabouts just to make you doubt me.
01:12:59Myla, can you forgive me?
01:13:05Now's not the time.
01:13:09You're right.
01:13:11When this is all over, we'll have plenty of time to talk about us.
01:13:22Come on.
01:13:24I know where Mrs. Green is.
01:13:26Let's go take her home.
01:13:35How?
01:13:37How did she get here?
01:13:39David moved her to a different hospital.
01:13:42But she must have found her way back here.
01:13:45He remembers this place?
01:13:48Yes, Myla.
01:13:50Maybe she remembers more than we think.
01:13:52And if we give her enough time, maybe she'll remember everything.
01:14:05You've come to tell me your decision, haven't you?
01:14:11You always said you know me.
01:14:14You should already know my decision.
01:14:16You're going to ruin everything.
01:14:19No.
01:14:21Everything's saved because of her.
01:14:28I'm sorry.
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 the biggest shopping center in the world.
01:14:42But it will be unlike any other.
01:14:45There will be a park inside.
01:14:47And at its heart, the best orphanage in the world.
01:14:50You're keeping Starlight House?
01:14:53Because it belongs there.
01:14:55I'm not tearing it down.
01:14:57I'm making it better.
01:14:59We'll rebuild it 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 that love meant obeying you.
01:15:20Meeting every expectation you set.
01:15:24But love isn't about becoming what someone else wants you to be.
01:15:29It's about accepting who you really are.
01:15:33I hope that one day you'll love me that way too.
01:15:55I love you.
01:16:07I've been thinking about why you feel so familiar.
01:16:15And?
01:16:17I used to hate it when the balloons came to Starlight House.
01:16:20But one day, that changed.
01:16:23Why?
01:16:24Because I met a very handsome, but very quiet, very kind boy.
01:16:35How handsome?
01:16:39I'm sorry it took me so long to recognize you.
01:16:43You're forgiven.
01:16:46I love you.
01:16:53I love you too.
