00:00:00It's something big.
00:00:01Now I'll find Henry Vaughn and stop him.
00:00:04Now, what does he look like?
00:00:07What? What's happening?
00:00:08I'm going to take your life.
00:00:12Oh my! It's the boy! It's my new girlfriend!
00:00:14Ten things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart, Lila Collins.
00:00:19We'll have leverage to negotiate with Henry Vaughn.
00:00:21I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:00:23No. Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:00:25You humiliate this family!
00:00:28You did what?
00:00:28The only way to kill a rumor is to start another one.
00:00:31I never knew it would hurt to spiral like this.
00:00:34The second Starlight Home would be gone, so would you.
00:00:37Lila, you don't know him.
00:00:43I hate him, and I hate myself.
00:00:53For just one fleeting moment, I wished it was real.
00:00:56What do you say?
00:00:58Beyoncé?
00:01:12I got this. I belong here.
00:01:25Hey! Do you know who she is?
00:01:28No clue. I've never seen her before.
00:01:34How's everything? You got a plan?
00:01:36Anya, I'm in. Now, I'll find Henry Vaughn and stop him.
00:01:39He's not getting his hands on our orphanage. Our home.
00:01:45Now, what does he look like?
00:01:48Mr. Vaughn. It's such a pleasure.
00:01:53We go live in ten minutes.
00:01:56I'll be back shortly.
00:02:02I can't believe we're talking to Henry Vaughn.
00:02:05Oh my God! His first public appearance!
00:02:08No one has ever seen him before this.
00:02:10It screams headlines.
00:02:12We need something big.
00:02:14Yeah, I'll confirm after you, okay?
00:02:16Alright? Thank you.
00:02:25No sign of Henry Vaughn. Where is he?
00:02:31Vaughn! What's happening?
00:02:33Oh, it's just a glitch. You okay?
00:02:35Ah, my hair. It's stuck to your shirt. Can you please help?
00:02:39Of course I'll help.
00:02:40Ow! Stop yanking!
00:02:42I'm not yanking. Be patient.
00:02:43Oh, please. Not so rough.
00:02:45Oh, please. Just be slow. Come on. Come on. Closer.
00:02:48Uh, hey. You may want to hear this.
00:02:55Oh, come on.
00:02:56Be patient.
00:02:57I can't help it. Ow!
00:02:58I'm sorry. Did that hurt?
00:03:00Just take off your shirt.
00:03:02In an elevator, that's not happening.
00:03:04We go live. Now!
00:03:06Just take off your shirt.
00:03:08No. In an elevator, that's not happening.
00:03:10Oh, I'll just do it.
00:03:14I'm so sorry.
00:03:17Oh my! Mr. Vaughn! It's Tony O'Connor!
00:03:20Is this some sort of indie elevator play?
00:03:22I don't know how you get off your nerve, but yeah.
00:03:24How long have you been stuck in your bed with Mr. Vaughn?
00:03:27Oh, okay. Fine.
00:03:29Wait!
00:03:30Mr. Vaughn! Mr. Vaughn!
00:03:37What happened?
00:03:38Did you even see him?
00:03:39Well, I did, but things got complicated.
00:03:45You're late. Again.
00:03:47I'm sorry, Linda, but I got stuck in an elevator with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:51Stop the bullshit. You with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:55Your names don't even belong in the same sentence.
00:03:58I know you're obsessed with the richest bachelor in the city,
00:04:02but you've got to come up with better excuses.
00:04:04But this time it's true.
00:04:05Listen, I know you used to be this hot-shot journalist,
00:04:09but that was ages ago.
00:04:10No one even wants to talk to you nowadays.
00:04:13Actually, I'd like to talk to her.
00:04:16David, don't you work for Henry Vaughn?
00:04:19Yes.
00:04:20And my boss would like a word with Miss Collins.
00:04:28Table five. He's waiting for you.
00:04:35Is this table five?
00:04:36Sit.
00:04:38Oh, sorry. Am I at the wrong table?
00:04:40Don't.
00:04:41You're causing a scene. We need to talk discreetly.
00:04:43Got it. CIA style.
00:04:45Huh?
00:04:46You snuck into the banquet.
00:04:48Who were you looking for? What do you want?
00:04:50I... I was just curious.
00:04:53Don't lie to me.
00:04:54Okay, fine.
00:04:56I'm from Starlight Homes, the orphanage that you're planning to demolish.
00:05:00I'm telling you, you're making a huge mistake.
00:05:04Starlight Homes?
00:05:06That broke old orphanage?
00:05:07Yes, but it's our home.
00:05:09And you're tearing it down to build a shopping center?
00:05:14There are other orphanages in the city, better ones.
00:05:16No, but none like ours. Starlight is special.
00:05:19Don't turn.
00:05:21Don't raise your voice.
00:05:23Unless you want this place swarming with reporters in five minutes.
00:05:27Starlight means everything to us.
00:05:31Yes, it may be old, but it is full of love and memories.
00:05:35And it means the world to those kids.
00:05:39Everyone says the same thing. Everywhere.
00:05:42If I gave up, nothing would get built.
00:05:46You have a month to move out.
00:05:48It's a generous offer. I suggest you take it.
00:05:50No! Wait!
00:05:55No! Wait! I'm telling you the truth.
00:05:58You're making a huge mistake.
00:06:01About the elevator incident...
00:06:03I'll issue a statement soon.
00:06:06If you say or do anything, it'll blow over.
00:06:20What an asshole.
00:06:24That stupid prick.
00:06:29Boss, I'll get to work right away.
00:06:31Oh no, Miss Collins, don't work so hard.
00:06:34You've been non-stop. You deserve a break.
00:06:38Am I getting fired?
00:06:40What? No.
00:06:42You don't need to keep hiding it anymore.
00:06:44You're Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:06:46What?
00:06:48See? That's all over the news.
00:06:50Okay, that's a misunderstanding.
00:06:52Oh, come on. This photo?
00:06:54It's clearly you.
00:06:56Yes, it is me.
00:06:59I knew it.
00:07:00Only our Lila could lend someone like Vaughn.
00:07:03Guys, it's her.
00:07:06Hey, maybe it's for the best.
00:07:09How so?
00:07:10We'll have leverage to negotiate with Henry Vaughn.
00:07:13He literally just said no to my face.
00:07:15He's just an arrogant shithead.
00:07:17Okay, then at least we can use it to our advantage
00:07:20and raise money for Starlight.
00:07:22What? Do you really think people will treat us differently?
00:07:25No, there is no way anyone would do that.
00:07:28Oh, I'll handle your assignments.
00:07:30Anything for Mr. Vaughn's girlfriend.
00:07:32I'll get you coffee from now on.
00:07:34You can have half my project, both of us.
00:07:37Lila, I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:07:40Effective immediately.
00:07:48I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:07:51We'll launch an exclusive right away.
00:07:54Ten things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart,
00:07:57Lila Collins.
00:07:59Wait, right now?
00:08:01No, Linda, hold on, no.
00:08:03I know she's a liar.
00:08:08Get the car ready.
00:08:10I'm going to settle this girlfriend nonsense.
00:08:16If I get the job, will I get to meet Henry Vaughn?
00:08:19Oh my God, oh my God, he's such a dream.
00:08:22Next.
00:08:25Uh, what is this supposed to be?
00:08:29I think I'm way hotter than your boyfriend.
00:08:33Next.
00:08:36Next.
00:08:39Uh, can you introduce yourself?
00:08:43How about you introduce yourself?
00:08:45You know, I don't really dig the whole, like, single-sided intimate thing.
00:08:50I think it's toxic.
00:08:52Great.
00:08:53Next.
00:08:57Miss Collins, you remember me?
00:09:00Uh, your voice sounds familiar.
00:09:03Yes, I think I've heard it somewhere before.
00:09:06Wait, I do know you.
00:09:10I do know you.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:12You look just like Robert Pattinson.
00:09:17Should I remind you what happened in the elevator a few days ago?
00:09:20Oh, you're one of those people obsessed with my relationship with Henry Vaughn.
00:09:24Fine, fine, I'll give you what you came here for.
00:09:30Yes, Henry Vaughn is my boyfriend.
00:09:33In the elevator, he said he loved me.
00:09:35But guess what? I turned him down.
00:09:37He did?
00:09:38Yeah, of course.
00:09:39He begged me to accept his love, saying he'd skip the press conference if I didn't.
00:09:44Wow, really?
00:09:46Absolutely.
00:09:47You know, men, they're such simple creatures.
00:09:50I gave him one kiss, and then he completely lost it.
00:09:53He wanted to sleep with me, and then, well, I said no, of course.
00:09:57He was so heartbroken, he cancelled the whole event.
00:10:01Can you imagine?
00:10:03I truly can't.
00:10:04I mean, it's outrageous. Really.
00:10:06Oh, by the way, what's your name?
00:10:07I'm Henry.
00:10:08Oh, it doesn't matter. Forget it. You are hired.
00:10:11No, I don't want the job. I don't need...
00:10:18Mrs. Green's condition is getting worse.
00:10:22Yes, I'm on my way.
00:10:26Hey, newbie, you're coming with me.
00:10:32Your son is turning this family into a laughing stock.
00:10:37The deal was clear.
00:10:39Build the biggest shopping mall in the world, and then I'll make him heir.
00:10:42Now look, the project's been delayed, and he's been seen cozying up with the enemy, some activist.
00:10:47It must be some misunderstanding.
00:10:49He's never let you down.
00:10:51Fix this, or I'll replace him, and you'll be out after him.
00:10:57Control your son.
00:11:01He's your son, too, you know.
00:11:04And I regret that every day.
00:11:13David?
00:11:15I need to know everything about Lila Collins.
00:11:29Is she okay?
00:11:30She's getting worse. She's not recognized anyone since yesterday.
00:11:37Mrs. Green, how are you?
00:11:40Mrs. Green, how are you feeling?
00:11:44I'm knitting sweaters for my children.
00:11:49You know, I have an orphanage.
00:11:52That's wonderful.
00:11:55You should see it. It's brand new.
00:12:00Do you know who I am?
00:12:02Mom?
00:12:06It's okay.
00:12:08It's okay.
00:12:11You're not my mom.
00:12:13No, but to me, you're just like a mother.
00:12:19And I'll save our home.
00:12:25Hey, newbie.
00:12:28Thanks for today.
00:12:30Just give me a sec, I'll go solve the payment.
00:12:33So heartbreaking. Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:41Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:43Of course. It's getting demolished next month.
00:12:46Poor Lila. What's she going to do?
00:12:48Right? Mrs. Green only shows brief moments of clarity when she visits that place.
00:12:52Once it's gone, she might never remember anything again.
00:12:55Such a shame. She's been taking care of Mrs. Green for ten years.
00:12:59And just like that, it's all disappearing.
00:13:02And for what? Just another massive shopping mall? Just wiping it out like that?
00:13:11Starlight Homes
00:13:21I know, he's so dreamy.
00:13:24I hope he can visit every day.
00:13:32And this one, who's that for?
00:13:34This is for Sherry. She loves lavender.
00:13:40This one? What about this one?
00:13:42Lily, of course. She just loves yellow.
00:14:07I'll see you next time.
00:14:09The sweaters will be ready.
00:14:15She's really sweet.
00:14:16Thanks for coming with me today, newbie.
00:14:19I didn't really have a choice. You dragged me here.
00:14:22Well, still, thanks for not leaving.
00:14:31So, uh, Mrs. Green's the reason you won't leave Starlight Homes?
00:14:35I mean, you saved up all that money and you still won't move?
00:14:38Well, I haven't saved enough yet.
00:14:40And I haven't figured out what to do with Mrs. Green.
00:14:45The Vaughn Enterprise gave me an ultimatum.
00:14:48I have to be out next month, so I guess that's it.
00:14:52What are you going to do?
00:14:54Whatever it takes. I'll sell everything I can if I have to.
00:14:57No matter what, I am protecting my home and my family.
00:15:02You said you were engaged with Henry Vaughn, right?
00:15:06I mean, he's rich enough to handle this without a second thought.
00:15:09Why didn't you ask him?
00:15:11You know why.
00:15:14It's a lie.
00:15:17You know why. It's a lie.
00:15:20Ready to tell the truth?
00:15:22Yes.
00:15:24The truth is...
00:15:29Henry Vaughn is a stingy bastard.
00:15:32What?
00:15:33He's just one of those rich kids.
00:15:35You know, he's selfish and cold and he's completely indifferent to someone like us.
00:15:41He would never help the orphanage.
00:15:44Are you sure about that?
00:15:46Yes. That's why I turned him down.
00:15:49But he's so obsessed with me, he wouldn't let me go.
00:15:53Wow.
00:15:55If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have to sell this necklace.
00:16:01Mrs. Green gave it to me on my 18th birthday.
00:16:04It means a lot to you?
00:16:06Yes.
00:16:10But then so does Mrs. Green and Starlight Homes.
00:16:15They were all I had growing up.
00:16:18I'll do anything I can to protect them.
00:16:22But that bastard Henry Vaughn, he better pray I don't catch him.
00:16:35Oh no, Mr. Vaughn!
00:16:37Wait, did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:16:54Wait, did somebody just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:16:58Careful.
00:17:04Careful.
00:17:14Newbie, what are you doing?
00:17:16I was just about to ask you the same thing.
00:17:22You're so glued to your phone. You should be more careful.
00:17:26So, you were protecting me?
00:17:30Let's just say I didn't want my boss getting hurt on my first day.
00:17:34I knew it.
00:17:36You are the most responsible, detail-oriented assistant ever.
00:17:40Stick with me. Make sure you get promoted.
00:17:44Wait!
00:17:46From now on, whatever I have, I'll share it with you.
00:17:52I don't like chocolate.
00:17:54Nonsense.
00:17:56Everybody likes chocolate.
00:18:00Lila Collins.
00:18:11Lila Collins.
00:18:13We've met before.
00:18:20Lila Collins.
00:18:23We've met before.
00:18:31Not to be nosy, but you're really bad at this.
00:18:35It's none of your business.
00:18:37Who even are you?
00:18:39Same as everybody else here. I'm an orphan.
00:18:42They take kids your age?
00:18:44No, I've been here since I was two, but guess I was never good enough to get adopted.
00:18:49Oh, sorry.
00:18:51No, don't be. This place is my home.
00:18:54I wouldn't trade it for anything.
00:18:56Oh, what about you? Why are you here?
00:18:58There's an event.
00:19:01Oh, you're with the Vaughn family?
00:19:06Volunteering, giving back to the community, right?
00:19:10Why'd you say it like that?
00:19:12You know why rich people don't do charity unless PR and cameras are involved.
00:19:19But you seem different.
00:19:24A little clumsier, a bit less polished.
00:19:27You're not one of them, are you?
00:19:29Do I not look like one?
00:19:31No, you seem...
00:19:34I don't know, a little more human.
00:19:39Here, give me your hand.
00:19:41Come on.
00:19:45This is for you.
00:19:48I don't like chocolate.
00:19:50Nonsense. Everybody likes chocolate.
00:19:57I'm sorry.
00:20:08You have let your father down.
00:20:11Let me guess, you're here about the rumor?
00:20:13You mean the scandal?
00:20:15Your father is furious.
00:20:17He's already talking about replacing you.
00:20:19Shocking. He's only been threatening that for the past 25 years.
00:20:22Henry, I didn't claw my way up the social ladder just to be thrown out of the Vaughn family.
00:20:27You've made that clear for the past 25 years as well.
00:20:30This isn't a joke.
00:20:32Did you forget how they treat us like trash?
00:20:34Just because I was his nurse when I gave birth to you.
00:20:40It's a misunderstanding.
00:20:44It doesn't concern you.
00:20:47Good. Then fix it.
00:20:49Get rid of her and Starlight Homes.
00:20:52The deal was clear.
00:20:54Build the biggest shopping mall in the world and you'll be heir.
00:20:59We've been outcasts for too long, Henry.
00:21:03But you are his son.
00:21:05Prove it.
00:21:20You're late. I need to talk to you.
00:21:22Wait. I have to tell you something first.
00:21:24Mr. Riffus is coming. He is a huge client and he's having a meeting with me here.
00:21:29Victor Riffus?
00:21:31Since when is he important?
00:21:33He's agreed to read my project proposal.
00:21:35Listen, I'm not playing this assistant game with you.
00:21:37Oh, okay. I get it.
00:21:39I know this job isn't ideal, but please.
00:21:41I need to talk to you.
00:21:43I need to talk to you.
00:21:45I need to talk to you.
00:21:47I get it. I know this job isn't ideal, but please just help me land this deal.
00:21:51Look, I can save Starlight Homes.
00:21:54But if I get this money, I can help Mrs. Green move everybody out.
00:21:58And you saw her. You know how much she needs this money.
00:22:01Please just help me land this deal.
00:22:07I have one condition.
00:22:09Condition?
00:22:11If you get the money, you leave Starlight Homes.
00:22:18Take the money. Forget about the orphanage.
00:22:21Just go somewhere else and start over.
00:22:24Why do you care?
00:22:26Lila Collins?
00:22:28Oh, Mr. Riffus.
00:22:30It is a pleasure to meet you.
00:22:33It's a pleasure.
00:22:36This is my assistant.
00:22:38I'm not your assistant.
00:22:40Sorry. He's a new hire.
00:22:42Has anyone ever told you you look like someone?
00:22:48Oh, yes. Vaughan.
00:22:54Oh, yes. It's Vaughan. Henry Vaughan.
00:22:56Robert Pattinson.
00:22:58Robert Pattinson.
00:23:00Robert Pattinson.
00:23:02Robert Pattinson.
00:23:04Henry Vaughan. Robert Pattinson.
00:23:07Lila said I look like him, but I think I'm better looking.
00:23:12Sorry. He's just joking.
00:23:14Please, take a seat.
00:23:22This is my project proposal.
00:23:24Please feel free to ask any questions.
00:23:27Oh, well.
00:23:30As your, um...
00:23:32As Collins' Henry Vaughan's girlfriend,
00:23:34I'll be straightforward.
00:23:36I was thinking of gifting him a Chopard watch.
00:23:40What do you think?
00:23:42Uh, a what watch? Sorry?
00:23:45Surely you've heard of a Chopard watch.
00:23:48No, I...
00:23:50I guess watches are just a bit impractical.
00:23:54I just tend to use this.
00:23:57You are quite funny.
00:24:00I never imagined Vaughan would go for someone from your background.
00:24:07What do you two even talk about?
00:24:09Oh, you know, just life.
00:24:12Life?
00:24:14You call your cheap clothes and second-hand shoes life?
00:24:17You're from completely different worlds.
00:24:20Of course, maybe Vaughan finds your humour or your ignorance entertaining.
00:24:26Yeah, lucky me.
00:24:28But your private events with Vaughan are none of my concern.
00:24:32And as for your business proposal, I shan't be taking it forward.
00:24:36We only ever do business with people with class.
00:24:40Mr. Rivers, you haven't even looked at it yet.
00:24:42Please, please just give me a chance.
00:24:44Is this how you won over Henry Vaughan?
00:24:46By being desperate and clingy?
00:24:48Well, it won't work with me, Ms. Collins.
00:24:50Don't come near me again. I'm allergic to poverty.
00:24:53Oh, please, you haven't even read it. Please just look at it.
00:25:00Mr. Rivers!
00:25:02I'm warning you, Ms. Collins. Don't play these little games with me.
00:25:05What games? I'm just asking for a chance.
00:25:08You've proved you don't belong in this circle.
00:25:11And I'm not interested in your proposal.
00:25:13What, all this humiliation just because I don't know the brand of a luxury watch?
00:25:17Let me explain it so that you'll understand.
00:25:20Here are a couple examples for someone like you.
00:25:23Think of it this way.
00:25:25You need a ticket to board a train to enter the theatre.
00:25:28And for certain business opportunities, you need a ticket too.
00:25:33A ticket?
00:25:34Exactly.
00:25:35Watches, cars, wines, houses, luxury.
00:25:39These are the tickets of the elite.
00:25:42Do you understand now?
00:25:44What, so I don't even qualify to sit and discuss business with you?
00:25:48You might think dating Henry Vaughan means that you have stepped into this circle, but believe me, you haven't.
00:25:54And honestly, I think he will tire of you soon enough, I'm quite sure.
00:25:59Mr. Rivers, you don't know anything about me.
00:26:01Oh, come on. I know enough.
00:26:03And if you ever want to talk business opportunities, maybe clean up your appearance first.
00:26:08Showing up in old polyester is most impolite.
00:26:12Leaving so soon?
00:26:14Mr. Rivers, we haven't finished our conversation yet.
00:26:20No, I'm done. Step aside.
00:26:22No. Sit back down.
00:26:27I'm just getting started.
00:26:32What are you trying to do? Assistant, I'm warning you.
00:26:35Or what? You'll take away my ticket too? Charge me admission?
00:26:39Stay out of this.
00:26:40Apologize to her.
00:26:41What?
00:26:42The things you've said were beyond rude. Offer her an apology now.
00:26:46Why would I do that? No.
00:26:49Victor Rivers, as you cling onto your crumbling family empire,
00:26:54you have no right to criticize a hard-working, self-made businesswoman.
00:26:59Oh, do shut up. I'll sue you for slander.
00:27:02Go ahead. Sue.
00:27:04I'm sure the judge would love to hear what you've said today.
00:27:08I'm calling my lawyer right now. You're finished.
00:27:11Lawyers can be tough. You really should apologize to him.
00:27:16The show power of 201. How much is that?
00:27:2025 million nowadays? How generous, Mr. Rivers.
00:27:25So? That's exactly my point. The price of nobility.
00:27:29And how much do you owe the bank?
00:27:34More than a few of those watches, right?
00:27:38I don't understand what you're talking about.
00:27:41What are you doing?
00:27:43A year ago, Henry Vaughn discovered corruption in your company
00:27:47and terminated all deals with you,
00:27:49leading to significant financial problems for your group.
00:27:54But yet, you need the banks to still believe that you're thriving,
00:27:57so you got super creative with the numbers, practically lying to them, correct?
00:28:01That's nonsense. It's bullshit.
00:28:04The funny thing is, though, that it was corruption
00:28:07that led to the breakdown with Henry Vaughn, wasn't it?
00:28:12But now you think a 201 is just going to buy that all back?
00:28:15I mean, it's more like a one-way ticket to jail.
00:28:20I shall sue you. It's all a lie.
00:28:23Fine. Call it a lie. We'll verify that in court.
00:28:27Hey, call your lawyer.
00:28:31Friendly advice? Your half-assed lawyer won't beat Barnes.
00:28:36I won't let this go. Your careers are over.
00:28:40I will end you.
00:28:42I doubt it.
00:28:44But please try.
00:28:46Keep me entertained.
00:28:52How would you know all of that?
00:28:56Who are you?
00:29:01Who are you?
00:29:03Listen, Myla, I'm actually...
00:29:06No. It doesn't matter anymore.
00:29:09We lost the deal. That's what matters.
00:29:13The deal?
00:29:15Victor wasn't here for your project. He was using you to get to Henry Vaughn.
00:29:19I know, but if there's even a sliver of a chance, I'll take it.
00:29:24You let him humiliate you like that?
00:29:27You sound like you're from a good family.
00:29:30So here's the truth. The world isn't a fairy tale.
00:29:33Yeah, he'll mock me. So what?
00:29:36If it helps the people I care about, then I will swallow it.
00:29:41Money isn't worth this.
00:29:43It is when it protects the people that matter.
00:29:47I'm going to beg Victor you can go home.
00:29:49You're still chasing him? Even after what he said?
00:29:52Yes. But you can go home.
00:29:55Don't worry. I'll make sure Linda pays you.
00:30:02And thank you for standing up for me today.
00:30:05It was very nice of you.
00:30:08It's just not what I need at the moment.
00:30:15Leave it. It's none of your business.
00:30:21Damn it.
00:30:24David, get Spark Up magazine a sponsorship.
00:30:27Spark Up? Doesn't Lila Collins work there?
00:30:30Just give them the money and credit her. Get it done.
00:30:40This is a mess.
00:30:43But I can't watch her drown.
00:30:47Hey.
00:30:50You okay?
00:30:52Where's your hot assistant?
00:30:54He's not the right one.
00:30:58Two days ago, you said he was the best assistant ever.
00:31:03And hello. He's a walking thirst trap.
00:31:08If you fired him, can I date him?
00:31:11No. I mean, stop joking.
00:31:15He's gone.
00:31:18Lila?
00:31:20What did you do?
00:31:22Linda, whatever it is, I promise I'll fix it.
00:31:24Fix it? You're a genius. How did you land such a big sponsor?
00:31:29Victor Rivers agreed to the project.
00:31:32Forget Rivers. Vaughn's funding us.
00:31:35You really have Henry Vaughn wrapped around your little finger.
00:31:39Henry Vaughn? Sponsored us?
00:31:44They said they loved your project proposal.
00:31:47They read my project proposal?
00:31:49Yes. Lila, you're getting a raise.
00:31:51You and your assistant, whatever you two did, keep doing it.
00:31:57My assistant?
00:32:01Could it be...
00:32:03Henry?
00:32:07Hey, where are you going?
00:32:15This is the address HR gave me.
00:32:19This can't be right.
00:32:23This is where he lives?
00:32:29Your father is losing patience.
00:32:32What's the delay with them all?
00:32:34Starlight Homes is already moving out.
00:32:37Just throw them out. The clock is ticking.
00:32:39They're still children.
00:32:42You want me to toss them out onto the street?
00:32:44Like we were tossed aside?
00:32:46Do you have any idea how serious this is?
00:32:49Without your father's support, we will lose everything.
00:32:53The project will finish on time.
00:32:56It's too late.
00:32:58Your little charity case with that girl is all over the news.
00:33:02I can't clean up your mess anymore.
00:33:04What are you talking about?
00:33:08I've spoken to the Browns.
00:33:11Helen's returning soon.
00:33:13You'll marry her.
00:33:14No. Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:33:17Wake up, Henry.
00:33:19As the heir to Von Enterprise, your marriage isn't a choice.
00:33:23It's a transaction.
00:33:26And it better be a good one.
00:33:31A contract marriage?
00:33:35A contract marriage?
00:33:37It benefits no one?
00:33:39You're really willing to ruin two people without a second thought?
00:33:42Helen has agreed to this, Henry.
00:33:44You better accept your fate. It's not up for discussion.
00:33:48And it's worth it?
00:33:49Just to keep your place in this family?
00:33:51I have scheduled an exclusive interview.
00:33:54In 30 minutes, you will be on live broadcast, clarifying the scandal.
00:33:59And announcing your engagement to Helen.
00:34:03You're in a real hurry, aren't you?
00:34:07With or without you, the announcement will take place.
00:34:10Now, if you show up, it's just an engagement.
00:34:13If you don't, I'll take actions against Starlight Holmes and Lila Collins.
00:34:19Is this a threat?
00:34:22You think I care about Lila Collins?
00:34:27I knew what happened with Victor Rivers, Henry.
00:34:31You're just not yourself when you were with her.
00:34:35If you can't clean up your mess, I will.
00:34:41Like always.
00:35:01Where are you?
00:35:31Hey! Hey, stop!
00:35:53Whoa. That was close.
00:35:56Did she even realize how dangerous that was?
00:35:59Hi. Is there a Henry here?
00:36:04I really need to find my assistant.
00:36:07Does he live here or work here?
00:36:14What's going on? Do you know him or not?
00:36:17Did I get the wrong place?
00:36:19Hello? I know there is someone in there.
00:36:21Please, just open up. Please, I really need to...
00:36:36Henry.
00:36:41Henry.
00:36:44You're really here.
00:36:46What are you doing here?
00:36:47I got your address from HR, but... wait, that's not important.
00:36:51Did you submit my proposal to Vaughn Enterprise?
00:36:55It was you! How do you know Vaughn Enterprise?
00:37:00So that's why you came? To investigate your sponsorship?
00:37:03Yes, I...
00:37:04Either way, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
00:37:08You fired me, remember?
00:37:11Look, I've got things to do. Let's not drag this out.
00:37:18I came to say thank you.
00:37:21I was out of line last time, I know that.
00:37:24But you stood up for me against Victor Rivers and, look, I wanted to shut him down too, but...
00:37:32I've gotten so used to just handling things on my own and swallowing my pride.
00:37:40But then you showed up.
00:37:44I don't know how to say this, but...
00:37:51Also, I hate owing people, and this will be nothing compared to what you did for me, but I would like to buy you dinner.
00:38:00As a proper thank you.
00:38:04So what do you say?
00:38:06Dinner?
00:38:13Viola Collins.
00:38:16You may be my greatest mistake.
00:38:24Okay, I did say I'd treat you, but one meal here might cost me more than my entire paycheck.
00:38:33You said I could pick the place.
00:38:35I did, but...
00:38:41Aren't you going to answer that?
00:38:45It doesn't matter. I've already made my decision.
00:38:50I don't know why, but you seem different. Like there is a side to you I don't know.
00:38:56Breaking news. Laura Vaughan has just announced the engagement of Henry Vaughan and Helen Brown, heirs to two of the nation's largest enterprises.
00:39:04Mrs. Vaughan, your son was just involved in a scandal. How is he suddenly engaged?
00:39:07And how about this rumored girlfriend, Lila Collins?
00:39:10Is this a cover-up?
00:39:11I'll answer all your questions.
00:39:13First, regarding Miss Lila Collins, she has no romantic ties to my son.
00:39:20In fact, she is nothing but a liar, clinging to Henry in a desperate attempt for attention.
00:39:26I am formally announcing Miss Lila Collins and Starlight Homes will be facing legal action.
00:39:41You were never actually engaged to Henry Vaughan, were you?
00:39:46No, I admit it. But it was just a misunderstanding at first.
00:39:51I never meant for it to spiral like this. I needed a way to save Starlight Homes.
00:39:56And then one thing led to another and, well, things got out of control.
00:40:04Laura Vaughan is suing you. She's labeled you as a liar.
00:40:09And soon the entire public will believe it.
00:40:12And if they think you could lie about an engagement, they'd believe you'd lie about anything, including Starlight Homes.
00:40:21But that's the truth. It's not a lie.
00:40:23It doesn't matter. People believe what they want to believe.
00:40:27Why are you telling me this?
00:40:29Because I'm offering you an alternative.
00:40:31What kind of alternative?
00:40:35A real engagement. We turn the lie into the truth.
00:40:40What?
00:40:44How did they get here so fast?
00:40:46Because I invited them.
00:40:48You did what?
00:40:50The only way to kill a rumor is to start another one.
00:40:55What exactly are you planning?
00:40:58Did you really think an ordinary assistant would live in that house?
00:41:03No luxury brands by heart and an inside knowledge of every industry?
00:41:11What are you saying?
00:41:14I told you I wasn't there for an interview.
00:41:18I was there for you.
00:41:22To meet someone who claimed to be my fiancé.
00:41:29Are you saying that you are?
00:41:34Mr. Vaughn! Mr. Vaughn!
00:41:36What's your statement on your mother's press conference?
00:41:38Is the engagement real?
00:41:40Why are you dining with Lila Collins right now?
00:41:42Who exactly is your fiancé?
00:41:45He is Henry Vaughn.
00:41:54Mr. Vaughn, what is the statement on your mother?
00:41:56Is the engagement real?
00:41:58Everyone, you're disturbing me and my guest.
00:42:00I'll issue a statement soon, but for now, give us a moment.
00:42:03Mr. Vaughn, you need to tell us who Mr. Vaughn is.
00:42:05How long have you been together?
00:42:07Are we expecting children?
00:42:09How many kids do you have?
00:42:11Mr. Vaughn, come on, just give an answer.
00:42:18What exactly do you want?
00:42:20I want to make a deal.
00:42:22I'll give you enough money to relocate Starlight Homes.
00:42:26In exchange, we stay engaged,
00:42:30breaking off my marriage with Helen Brown.
00:42:33You think money is what I want?
00:42:35I want Starlight Homes. I want them to stop tearing down our home.
00:42:38I know your priority is Mrs. Green's care, right?
00:42:43I can make sure she gets the best treatment,
00:42:47best resources.
00:42:49I'll give you enough to rebuild Starlight Homes
00:42:53somewhere else, exactly as it is now.
00:42:56But you have to move.
00:42:59And this fake engagement?
00:43:02It's the only way to escape the wedding trap my mother has set.
00:43:06When this is all over, we can break off the engagement.
00:43:10You'll be free with your money,
00:43:13and you can open an orphanage anywhere in the world, for all I care.
00:43:18So that's why you called the press here,
00:43:21to force me into agreeing I never had a real choice, did I?
00:43:26I don't think you have a choice, Byla.
00:43:30This is the only option.
00:43:34The great Henry Vaughn pretends to be my assistant,
00:43:38and plays me and entertains me like some rich kid's game.
00:43:44What an honor.
00:43:49What do you say?
00:43:52Beyoncé?
00:43:57Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Vaughn, are you going to make a statement tonight?
00:44:00Is Helen Braun the third wheel in all of this?
00:44:03Or is Lila Collins the one who's interfering?
00:44:05I understand this has been shocking for everyone, Lila and I included,
00:44:10but what I can say is that I admire Lila Collins immensely.
00:44:17Her personality, her strength,
00:44:22there's something about her I've never seen in anyone before.
00:44:26As for the press conference today, I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:44:31I want to extend my apologies to Miss Helen Braun.
00:44:34However, there is no romantic relationship between us.
00:44:38We are not engaged.
00:44:40So you are engaged to Lila?
00:44:42Of course.
00:44:44Based on the rumors you've heard about us, it's true.
00:44:49Tonight's date speaks for itself.
00:44:52Right, Lila?
00:44:56Yes.
00:44:58Yes, that's right.
00:45:00Congratulations.
00:45:02This is incredible. Congrats.
00:45:06And of course, special thanks to the woman by my side.
00:45:12And I hate myself.
00:45:16Because for just one fleeting moment,
00:45:21I wished it was real.
00:45:33Evening to you too, Father.
00:45:35Don't call yourself my son and then humiliate this family.
00:45:40I told you to handle the mall project.
00:45:43Shut down Starlight Homes.
00:45:45And instead, you're seen with an activist.
00:45:47Henry must have been blackmailed.
00:45:49And you, a press conference turned into a joke.
00:45:52My interns could handle PR better than you.
00:45:57I've reached an agreement with Lila Collins.
00:45:59She'll move Starlight Homes within the week.
00:46:02The mall project won't be on schedule.
00:46:04It'll be a month ahead of time.
00:46:06And why would she move?
00:46:09What have you promised her?
00:46:11Don't tell me you've agreed to marry her.
00:46:14We went through hell negotiating the Brown family alliance.
00:46:17That marriage won't stop the rumors.
00:46:19It'll make them worse.
00:46:21Times have changed.
00:46:23People don't blindly believe tabloid scandal anymore.
00:46:26Sooner or later, someone's going to find out that we used power and intimidation
00:46:30to force Starlight Homes out.
00:46:32And when that happens, who's going to clear our name?
00:46:34The Browns?
00:46:36They never wanted this mess in the first place.
00:46:38This is the only way forward.
00:46:40I promise you.
00:46:42This mall, I'll see it done.
00:46:52This is your last chance.
00:46:54Once it's done, get rid of the girl.
00:47:03Don't make me regret this.
00:47:09You might be able to fool your father.
00:47:12But I know my son.
00:47:15It was to protect the girl, wasn't it?
00:47:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:25What did she do to you, Henry?
00:47:29Do you know how long we fought to get here?
00:47:31You fought.
00:47:33Have you ever stopped to think that I never wanted any of this in the first place?
00:47:37The wealth, the power.
00:47:39Sure, you gave me all of that, but at what cost?
00:47:42Pretending to be something that we're not?
00:47:45How is that any different from the people who resented us?
00:47:49You sound like those useless brats.
00:47:52Chasing after some fantasy called freedom.
00:47:56Tell me.
00:47:58Without money, without status, what do you have?
00:48:02Nothing.
00:48:04And when that day comes, the girl will be gone too.
00:48:29You again.
00:48:32You're that guy that came with the Vaughns.
00:48:34Their servant, right?
00:48:36You said I was a servant.
00:48:38Whatever.
00:48:39At least you're not that prick.
00:48:42Prick?
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:44Henry Vaughn.
00:48:45Total nightmare.
00:48:59You've met him?
00:49:01No, not exactly, but I've seen him from a distance, surrounded by people acting all important like he's royalty or something.
00:49:09You hate him for that?
00:49:11No.
00:49:12I hate him because every time he comes here we have to spend days preparing.
00:49:17Mrs. Green is old and her health isn't great.
00:49:20But every time the Vaughns decide to use us as this little PR stunt,
00:49:25she has to get up, pose for photos, and look presentable.
00:49:31We scrub the halls, we rehearse fake answers for reporters, and we have to hide all our old toys.
00:49:38God forbid the Vaughns see how we really live.
00:49:43They don't care about us.
00:49:45All they care about is looking good.
00:49:50I see.
00:49:52So, yeah.
00:49:55I hope he stops coming.
00:49:57I hope I never see Henry Vaughn here again.
00:50:03But at least I met you.
00:50:05What's your name, anyway?
00:50:07I have to go.
00:50:08What? Why?
00:50:10Will I see you again?
00:50:15No.
00:50:17You won't?
00:50:25Not again, after all.
00:50:40Stick close. Breathe.
00:50:42Easy for you to say.
00:50:44Trust me.
00:50:45It wasn't easy at first.
00:50:50This is your first public appearance together. It's tonight's a date.
00:50:53Lila, how does it feel dating the city's most eligible bachelor?
00:50:56Breathe. Ignore everything else.
00:50:59They're staring.
00:51:00Why are they staring? Is something wrong with my dress?
00:51:03You know my feelings say no one will question them.
00:51:08Mr. Vaughn, this is Mina, the family.
00:51:10Lila!
00:51:16Mr. Vaughn, this is Mina, the family.
00:51:18Lila!
00:51:32Have we met before?
00:51:35Why do you ask?
00:51:37You seem familiar.
00:51:39You have been to Starlight Homes before.
00:51:42We must have met there.
00:51:44No.
00:51:45Trust me, if I had met someone this loud before, I probably would have remembered.
00:51:50Excuse me?
00:51:52If I had met you before, I would have remembered too.
00:51:55Prick.
00:51:58Why are you laughing?
00:52:15Well, if it isn't my former fiance and his charity case.
00:52:23She's my guest tonight.
00:52:25Oh, 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.
00:52:35Ouch. You've gotten meaner.
00:52:40Do you remember high school?
00:52:42Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:52:45I was the only one shutting them up.
00:52:47Thanks for reminding me.
00:52:48Don't get me wrong, I mean, your background's messy.
00:52:52But men like your father, they do have plenty of affairs.
00:52:55Your mother being a nurse is not exactly shocking.
00:53:05Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:07Henry wasn't even raised in the Vaughn Mansion at first.
00:53:10There was a time that he was kicked out.
00:53:12That's enough, Helen.
00:53:16Why are you here?
00:53:18I'm just curious.
00:53:20I wanted to see what's really going on between you two lovebirds.
00:53:23And? What do you see?
00:53:25Exactly what I assumed.
00:53:29A fake engagement.
00:53:35You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:53:38Honey, I haven't even started.
00:53:40But if you two want to continue your little pretend game,
00:53:43I'm happy to play along.
00:53:45We need to talk.
00:53:48You just left me standing there?
00:53:50What am I, a damn prop?
00:53:52She...
00:53:54She practically fooled herself, Helen.
00:53:58Oh, I'm sorry.
00:54:00I'm sorry.
00:54:02I'm sorry.
00:54:04I'm sorry.
00:54:06I'm sorry.
00:54:08I'm sorry.
00:54:10I'm sorry.
00:54:12I'm sorry.
00:54:14I'm sorry.
00:54:17Oh.
00:54:19Did I hurt your feelings?
00:54:22I'm just leaving.
00:54:24Wait.
00:54:26I like you, so I'm going to give you a little friendly warning.
00:54:30Stay away from him.
00:54:32He's mine.
00:54:36He's mine.
00:54:37Maybe you should tell him that.
00:54:39He's the one who called off your engagement.
00:54:41He said he was feeling trapped.
00:54:43Can you imagine?
00:54:45Someone like us feeling something like that?
00:54:47God thinks he's living in a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:54:50What exactly are you trying to say?
00:54:52That we understand each other.
00:54:56When Henry struggled to fit in,
00:54:58I was the one who helped him.
00:55:00I was the one who brought him into our circle.
00:55:03Without me, he would be no more than an illegitimate shadow.
00:55:06Are you saying he needs you?
00:55:08No.
00:55:09I'm saying I made him.
00:55:11And now, just because of you,
00:55:13he's ready to throw it all away.
00:55:15That's not happening.
00:55:17Let me fill you in.
00:55:19Henry promised his father that the second Starlight Home would be gone.
00:55:22So would you.
00:55:24I don't care.
00:55:25Really?
00:55:28Why don't you hear for yourself?
00:55:37We used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:55:41That's the only way forward, I promise you.
00:55:44This mall, I'll see it done.
00:55:54You take the bedroom, I'll take the couch.
00:55:56Do we really need to live together?
00:55:58Why did you rent an apartment just for this?
00:56:02This may be a fake engagement,
00:56:04but it needs to be convincing.
00:56:07I want a place just for us.
00:56:10No uninvited guests.
00:56:12Right.
00:56:14You wouldn't want someone like me stepping foot in the Vaughn Mansion.
00:56:17That's not what I meant, Lila.
00:56:20Why do you always assume the worst?
00:56:25Get some rest.
00:56:33Why do rich people always put things so high?
00:56:38Try not to break it.
00:56:40It's expensive.
00:56:43I suppose that shelf would be a challenge for a short-legged corgi.
00:56:48I'm not.
00:56:50I'm not a corgi.
00:56:54Henry?
00:56:57Can I ask you something?
00:56:59And can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:57:07Can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:57:10Depends on what you ask.
00:57:13Right.
00:57:15Of course.
00:57:17You made this engagement deal for Starlight Homes, right?
00:57:23The so-called win-win.
00:57:27Was it all just a new PR strategy for Vaughn Enterprise?
00:57:37Answer me.
00:57:39I already told you.
00:57:42You get what you want, and I get what I want.
00:57:45But what do you want, Henry?
00:57:47I don't get you.
00:57:49You could have thrown me out, but you didn't.
00:57:51You met Mrs. Green.
00:57:53You knew exactly what would break me, but you never, ever used it.
00:58:00You could have labeled me a liar.
00:58:03To paint me as the woman who came in between.
00:58:06You and Helen.
00:58:08But you didn't.
00:58:10Why?
00:58:11Was it all just a way to make sure I willingly moved Starlight Homes?
00:58:16To fake an engagement?
00:58:20Was it worth it?
00:58:22Henry Vaughn.
00:58:25Why are you helping me?
00:58:31I made my terms clear.
00:58:33You need to move Starlight Homes within a week.
00:58:35No, that's not an answer.
00:58:43All my life, I've been pretending to be someone I'm not.
00:58:52My mother went through hell because of where she came from.
00:58:57She always said she didn't want me to suffer like she did, so...
00:59:02I did what was expected.
00:59:04I pushed.
00:59:06I fought.
00:59:08I became the perfect heir.
00:59:13The 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.
00:59:29Everything 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.
00:59:42The thought crossed my mind more than once.
00:59:47But you didn't.
00:59:50Look, I don't want to talk about us like this.
00:59:53Not while everything's still a mess.
00:59:56But what I said about you.
01:00:00That I admire your resilience.
01:00:03That you got to me.
01:00:08None of that was a lie.
01:00:14I think...
01:00:26I love you.
01:00:45Henry Vaughn.
01:00:47Don't betray my trust.
01:00:56I love you.
01:00:58I love you.
01:01:00I love you.
01:01:02I love you.
01:01:26It's just a call, my fiancé.
01:01:28It's not too much.
01:01:30It's just a call.
01:01:40Lila?
01:01:41Oh, you picked up.
01:01:43Uh, I figured you left early this morning.
01:01:48So I was just checking if everything's okay.
01:01:53Yeah.
01:01:54Oh, okay, well I'm just about to head out, so I...
01:01:57I'm really sorry, but can we talk later?
01:02:00Uh, yeah.
01:02:02Sure.
01:02:03Don't overthink it.
01:02:05My mother, she's in the hospital.
01:02:07What?
01:02:09What happened?
01:02:10Are you okay?
01:02:11I'm fine.
01:02:12Don't worry.
01:02:13I'll call you back soon, okay?
01:02:15Okay.
01:02:20What the hell happened?
01:02:28Lila, Mrs. Green is missing.
01:02:34What happened?
01:02:35Yesterday, someone came claiming that Starlight Homes was moving
01:02:38and that they wanted to take her on one last visit.
01:02:40We refused.
01:02:42But then last night, she was taken from a ward.
01:02:45How can that happen?
01:02:46I'm so sorry, Lila.
01:02:48All the security footage was erased.
01:02:51Who would want to discharge her early?
01:02:54Who would want to discharge her early?
01:02:57He said he was here on behalf of your fiancé, Henry Vaughan.
01:03:01Miss Collins, a word, please.
01:03:04We need to talk.
01:03:07Do you work for Henry or Vaughan Enterprise?
01:03:09Does it matter?
01:03:11They're the same.
01:03:12Not to me.
01:03:13I see what he meant.
01:03:14You're special.
01:03:16But special is never what this family needs.
01:03:19What do you want from me?
01:03:20Easy.
01:03:21Walk away now, and we'll make sure Mrs. Green gets the care that she needs.
01:03:28If you had this much power, you could make me disappear without a second thought.
01:03:33Why bother making me a deal?
01:03:35Consider Henry's last kindness to you.
01:03:39This isn't Henry's idea.
01:03:41You can't fool me.
01:03:42Isn't it, though?
01:03:44Lila, you don't know him.
01:03:46No, I know enough.
01:03:49Then ask him.
01:03:51Go. Find him. Confront him.
01:03:54Right now, you don't see it.
01:03:57But he's a part of this family.
01:03:59He's a Vaughan.
01:04:01And there's nothing that you can do about it.
01:04:11This is Henry Vaughan.
01:04:12Leave a message and I'll get back to you.
01:04:15It's fine.
01:04:18He's just busy.
01:04:24Henry.
01:04:36The number you have dialed is busy now.
01:04:39No.
01:04:41No.
01:04:43Henry Vaughan.
01:04:45Was this all a game to you?
01:04:48Yes, Doctor. I want the transfer arranged as soon as possible.
01:04:52That's great.
01:04:54I'll coordinate with her guardian.
01:04:56Sir, Mrs. Green has gone missing.
01:05:00What?
01:05:01Someone has taken her from the hospital.
01:05:03Find out who.
01:05:04No need.
01:05:07I just saved your career.
01:05:09And secured your place within this family.
01:05:11You're welcome.
01:05:12What did she do?
01:05:13Well, you were going to get rid of that girl eventually.
01:05:15I simply sped things up.
01:05:16You threatened her?
01:05:18Don't be so dramatic.
01:05:20I arranged for Mrs. Green to receive top-tier medical care.
01:05:24And the only condition?
01:05:26Lila walks away from you.
01:05:32How long do you plan to control my life?
01:05:37Wake up, Henry.
01:05:39You are not just yourself.
01:05:41You are Richard Vaughan's son.
01:05:43My son.
01:05:44And the heir to this family.
01:05:47Have you still not figured that out?
01:05:49Did I ever get a say in any of this?
01:05:55Get back here!
01:05:56Mrs. Vaughan!
01:05:58Mrs. Vaughan!
01:06:08You okay?
01:06:11What are you doing here?
01:06:13Well, considering it's my family's hospital, did you really think I wouldn't show?
01:06:18They said it was exhaustion.
01:06:22This isn't your fault.
01:06:24You've done everything that she's ever expected of you.
01:06:27Don't blame yourself.
01:06:29I'm not blaming myself.
01:06:33I just don't know when it became so hard to be around her.
01:06:38I checked with the doctors.
01:06:40They said that she'd wake soon.
01:06:44Everything's gonna be fine.
01:06:50And really, you couldn't have picked a better hospital.
01:06:57Speaking of which, I have a little update on your fiancé's family situation.
01:07:03You mean Mrs. Green?
01:07:05JHU's doing a new study on VR-assisted memory recovery.
01:07:11If you're willing to fast-track her treatment.
01:07:14That's great.
01:07:17Thank you, Helen.
01:07:19No need to thank me.
01:07:21We're friends, aren't we?
01:07:30If you really want to thank me...
01:07:33See? Catching up with me isn't so bad, is it?
01:07:36Today hasn't been the worst.
01:07:39You do remember that we're still friends, right?
01:07:42Even though our engagement's off.
01:07:45Now that we're on the topic of it,
01:07:47I do have to ask.
01:07:50Are you sure you don't want to marry me?
01:07:54A union between our families, we could withstand anything.
01:07:57Helen, I'm serious.
01:07:59I haven't told her yet,
01:08:02but I love her.
01:08:07Wow.
01:08:11I don't think I've ever heard you use that word before.
01:08:13And neither have I.
01:08:17Until now.
01:08:30Come on.
01:08:32Just one meal.
01:08:34Can I have my friend's full attention for just once?
01:08:36It'll just be one second.
01:08:38Just wait until I explain about Mrs. Green's treatment.
01:08:41Then you can give her all the details at once.
01:08:44Wouldn't that be better?
01:08:48Fine.
01:09:00So the study is still in early works.
01:09:03But if you want her to have a shot,
01:09:05then she should be transferred as soon as possible.
01:09:07I see.
01:09:09I'll talk to Lila.
01:09:11Thank you, Helen.
01:09:18I like her, you know. She's, um...
01:09:21different.
01:09:24Cute.
01:09:27Cute.
01:09:34I need to take this.
01:09:36Why would Lynn keep calling unless it's urgent?
01:09:38I just thought of something.
01:09:40How about we both go to the hospital together
01:09:42and we'll tell her the news in person?
01:09:51Helen.
01:09:53What are you doing?
01:09:56You've been trying to distract me since we sat down.
01:09:59What exactly are you planning?
01:10:03I don't know what you're talking about.
01:10:04You're stalling. Why?
01:10:06Henry, I swear I...
01:10:07I'm warning you.
01:10:09Tell me now.
01:10:22What did you do to Lila?
01:10:23Nothing.
01:10:24You'd better be telling the truth.
01:10:31You never even saw me.
01:10:40I should never have trusted him.
01:10:46Don't go, Lila.
01:10:51Liar. Don't touch me.
01:10:54Lila, I didn't lie to you.
01:10:56Go have dinner with your real fiancé.
01:10:58Goodbye.
01:10:59You saw us?
01:11:01Oh, so you're finally admitting it.
01:11:03Great. Just fantastic.
01:11:06Mrs. Green is missing
01:11:07and you're out having some romantic meal with Helen.
01:11:10What did you just say? Mrs. Green is missing?
01:11:12Yes. Genius.
01:11:13David had her taken.
01:11:14He said you ordered it, but I'm not stupid.
01:11:17I know that you would never do something so pointless.
01:11:19It's my mother.
01:11:20She must have planned this with Helen.
01:11:22She was pushing the treatment conversation.
01:11:24You know what? It doesn't matter anymore.
01:11:26If you want me gone, just say it.
01:11:29Okay?
01:11:30I will make it easy for you.
01:11:32You can have your happily ever after.
01:11:34My happily ever after is only with you.
01:11:39Stop lying, please.
01:11:41You're using me.
01:11:42And you said you were at the hospital with Laura,
01:11:45but you weren't and then you hung up on me and...
01:11:53Let go!
01:11:55Just listen to me, please.
01:11:57Okay?
01:11:59My mother did collapse earlier.
01:12:01I took her to the hospital.
01:12:03She's stable now.
01:12:05Helen only showed up because it was her family's hospital.
01:12:09She came to find me.
01:12:11I didn't know anything about Mrs. Green being taken, okay?
01:12:14I swear.
01:12:15I already suspected David was reporting my movements to my family,
01:12:18so I had someone tail him.
01:12:20You... you did?
01:12:22Yeah.
01:12:23We'll find Mrs. Green.
01:12:25Soon.
01:12:27I promise you, Myla, nobody is going to hurt your family.
01:12:30What about lunch?
01:12:32Helen told me about this new treatment,
01:12:36one that could help Mrs. Green recover her memory.
01:12:39I was relieved.
01:12:41Okay? That's all we talked about.
01:12:44She set me up.
01:12:46Myla, she knew you'd see us.
01:12:48She knew you'd call.
01:12:50And I'm betting she had David tip her off to your whereabouts
01:12:53just to make you doubt me.
01:12:55Myla,
01:12:57can you forgive me?
01:13:03Now's not the time.
01:13:07You're right.
01:13:09When this is all over,
01:13:11we'll have plenty of time to talk about us.
01:13:19Come on.
01:13:21I know where Mrs. Green is.
01:13:23Let's go take her home.
01:13:32How?
01:13:34How did she get here?
01:13:36David moved her to a different hospital.
01:13:39But she must have found her way back here.
01:13:43He remembers this place?
01:13:45Yes, Myla.
01:13:47Maybe she remembers more than we think.
01:13:50And if we give her enough time,
01:13:52maybe she'll remember everything.
01:14:10You've come to tell me your decision, haven't you?
01:14:15You always said you know me.
01:14:18You should already know my decision.
01:14:21You're going to ruin everything.
01:14:23No.
01:14:25Everything's saved because of her.
01:14:31What about the mall project?
01:14:33Have you thought about that?
01:14:35We're still building the biggest shopping center in the world.
01:14:39But it will be unlike any other.
01:14:42There will be a park inside,
01:14:44and at its heart, the best orphanage in the world.
01:14:47You're keeping Starlight House?
01:14:50Because it belongs there.
01:14:52I'm not tearing it down.
01:14:54I'm making it better.
01:14:56We'll rebuild it into something brighter, something real.
01:15:00And what about your father?
01:15:03He won't stand for this.
01:15:05He wasn't happy at first.
01:15:07Then he saw the stock price.
01:15:10I used to think that love meant obeying you,
01:15:16meeting every expectation you set.
01:15:20But love isn't about becoming what someone else wants you to be.
01:15:26It's about accepting who you really are.
01:15:30I hope that, one day,
01:15:35you'll love me that way, too.
01:15:39I love you, too.
01:15:41I love you, too.
01:16:04I've been thinking about why you feel so familiar.
01:16:12And?
01:16:14I used to hate it when the Bones came to Starlight House.
01:16:17But one day, that changed.
01:16:20Why?
01:16:21Because I met a very handsome,
01:16:27but very quiet, very kind boy.
01:16:32How handsome?
01:16:36I'm sorry it took me so long to recognize you.
01:16:40You're forgiven.
01:16:43I love you.
