00:00Kevin, where are you? You said you would help me.
00:04Glad you could finally make it.
00:06With that traffic in the hallway.
00:08Sorry, I was actually fixing my bike.
00:10These dishes aren't going to wash themselves.
00:13Yes, ma'am.
00:14Oh, thank you.
00:16I mean, you've been living in this home now for the last two years.
00:19Surely, yes ma'am, I'll do some dishes.
00:21Clearly makes up for that.
00:24Trust me, it's no vacation.
00:26What was that?
00:27I said thank you, Dorothy.
00:29You've been so kind to me and Lily.
00:31This is the least I can do.
00:33Please, let me know if there's anything else.
00:35You could get a job.
00:37You know, make some money.
00:38Our Lily could have married anyone.
00:40Lord knows what she was thinking when she chose you.
00:43I'm going to make you and Lily proud one day.
00:46You'll see.
00:47You're just lucky she was too love-drunk to sign the prenup, like I suggested.
00:51Otherwise, I'd have gotten her to divorce you years ago.
00:54I hope you're not wearing that to the Jones family dinner.
00:58It's actually for something else.
01:00I don't care.
01:03You and Lily have been married for over two years now and still no children.
01:10Excuse me?
01:11Does your family have any genetic history or issues with fertility?
01:16Are you questioning my manhood?
01:19Are you questioning my manhood?
01:24Both of my parents are very healthy, as far as I know.
01:27And there are no genetic oddities on my side.
01:31Oh, so you're seeing the faults with my side of the family.
01:33What? No.
01:35I don't know your parents, so why don't we schedule a doctor's appointment for you to get tested?
01:41Are you just looking for reasons to break up my marriage?
01:43Why are you getting defensive?
01:45You know, Dorothy, I can't with you.
01:47Where are you going?
01:56Kevin Williams, what's up, baby?
01:58Tucker, what's up, man? How you feeling?
02:00Good, good. How are you doing?
02:01I'm good.
02:02It's good to see you.
02:03It's good to see you.
02:04Is that your new whip out there?
02:05Ain't she a beaut?
02:07And you look eccentric as ever.
02:11Please tell me you're not riding the dirt bike still.
02:13Of course I am.
02:15It's the first thing I ever bought with my own money, so, you know.
02:18Yeah, well, we both got a bit more to spend now.
02:23You never did tell me what you made.
02:27Oh my God, Britney!
02:30Britney was the most popular girl at Kevin's college.
02:33A few years ago, she'd made it big after a string of commercials.
02:37You're so stunning. You're perfect!
02:40Would you look at that? A star is born.
02:42Yeah, I would have thought she would have left the city by now.
02:45She's about to.
02:46Entertainment Weekly says she's on the up and up.
02:49She's going to be a super celebrity before you know it.
02:51Well, I wouldn't want to brag.
02:53Of course not.
02:54Oh, you're so sweet.
02:55Okay, fine.
02:56Someone is signing with Williams Media in the next couple days.
02:59Someone like moi.
03:05Williams Media, huh?
03:07Hey, hold my drink.
03:12Hey, Kevin.
03:13Hey.
03:14Kevin.
03:15Kevin, Kevin.
03:17Ew, what is that outfit?
03:19It's very disgusting.
03:22Yeah, Kevin, did you dress yourself today?
03:25Like, ever?
03:27So nice talking to you guys.
03:28Still talking to us?
03:29Yeah.
03:30Oh my God, he's still there.
03:35Guess I'm still a weirdo.
03:38For their entire marriage, Kevin had searched for a way to tell Lily.
03:41He was actually the son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the entire country.
03:49You fool!
03:51You've wasted your entire inheritance!
03:55What?
03:56You're out of the family.
03:59Out!
04:05Jesus!
04:06Have you been playing video games all night?
04:08What is wrong with you?
04:09Oh, I don't know what my daughter sees in you.
04:11I'm using the car to run some errands.
04:13Why don't you do something useful for once and drop your wife off of work?
04:17On it, ma'am.
04:20Crazy old lady.
04:28Have a good day, babe.
04:30For the ride.
04:31Of course.
04:32Lily!
04:33Hi, Bradley!
04:34Hi.
04:36Oh my gosh, so good to see you.
04:38You really are having a bad week.
04:39You called an Uber bike to get here?
04:41Oh, no, this is my...
04:43You could have called me.
04:48Kevin.
04:49Lily's husband.
04:50Oh, you're the famous Kevin.
04:52Yes, this is him.
04:54You know, Rachel has told me so much about you.
04:56Rachel?
04:58She does a great impression of you, actually.
05:01I bet she does.
05:03Anyway, so glad I bumped into you.
05:05So glad I bumped into you.
05:06My heart aches for you and everything that's been happening with your company.
05:09Oh, thank you, that's so sweet.
05:11So sweet.
05:13So, I got you a little gift.
05:15What?
05:16You didn't have to do that.
05:18Yeah, Bradley, you really shouldn't have.
05:21Oh, that's a...
05:23Come on, let me put it on you.
05:25No, no, it's too much.
05:26I insist.
05:29At that moment, Kevin had murder in his eyes.
05:32Saving Lily's company was one thing, but first he had to handle Bradley.
05:36I'll do it.
05:38Her husband will put it on her.
05:41Okay.
05:42Be careful with that. It's a Dreamlovers.
05:47No!
05:49Oops.
05:51What the hell, Kevin?
05:53It's a fake.
05:54Dreamlovers' nexus costs a small country's GDP.
05:57And there's only ten of them in the entire world.
06:00So...
06:01How could you?
06:02It slipped.
06:03Bradley, you lied?
06:04I didn't lie to you.
06:05It's an exact replica.
06:06It cost me a hundred grand.
06:08Oh, my God.
06:09Now, I am so sorry, Bradley.
06:11So sorry, Bradley.
06:13I know how much you admired those necklaces, and you've been working so hard.
06:17I thought you deserved something special.
06:19Bradley, I'm sure this really was a mistake.
06:21Right, Kev?
06:22What she deserves is a real one, not some douchebag's knockoff.
06:25Okay, whoa, whoa, stop!
06:28I need you to apologize to Bradley right now.
06:30He's a representative at Williams Media.
06:32Remember, the seven million that we owe, and then someone stepped in, so now we only owe four?
06:36His company is providing the rest.
06:39Please, Kevin.
06:46Sorry, I broke the necklace.
06:48What was that?
06:50No, I didn't hear you.
06:55Please, forgive me.
07:01Apology accepted.
07:03All right, I'm going to work.
07:05See you at the meeting?
07:14I know what you're trying to do.
07:16It's not gonna work.
07:17Stay away from my wife.
07:19I buy her expensive gifts, not you.
07:21Honestly, I feel bad for her.
07:23She'll never have anything nice with you around.
07:27Dude, you're rich!
07:29What?
07:30Bro, check your old crypto wallet.
07:31Orion coin is off the chart.
07:33The number was too high for his digital wallet to even calculate.
07:36Kevin was now the richest man in the city, maybe even the world.
07:41Get out of my way.
07:45You can't even afford a car.
07:50Never thought I'd hear from you again.
07:52I was wrong about you.
07:54Your family needs you.
07:55We've gone bankrupt.
07:57Will you save us?
07:59Do you honestly think that I would want that after everything you did to me?
08:03Don't you want to be the man you used to be?
08:06If he could just find himself again, be the man that I knew him to be.
08:10The man that I know he can be.
08:13What do you say?
08:14Kevin's grandfather was right about one thing.
08:17Kevin was tired of being the shell of a man that he was.
08:21It was time he developed a spine and built his own empire.
08:25Kevin?
08:27More determined than ever, Kevin knew what he had to do.
08:33Kevin was more resolved than ever to become the man Lily wanted him to be.
08:36But before he could take care of Bradley, he had to pay a visit to someone from his past.
08:43Williams Manor. Home sweet home.
08:50Kevin, my grandchild.
08:53Let's skip the formalities, shall we?
08:57I can see you've been enjoying your sabbatical.
08:59Sabbatical? Is that what you call disowning your grandson?
09:03Let's not dwell on events of the past, shall we?
09:07Please have a seat.
09:15I'm good, Uncle. I just came here to talk.
09:23I thought about it, and I'll hear you out on two conditions.
09:27Number one, by six o'clock this evening, you will get me an authentic dream lover's necklace.
09:35Dream lover?
09:39I don't care how. I just want to deliver it to my wife, in secret.
09:43And number two, you're going to fire one of your board members. Bradley something.
09:49Mr. Williams was surprised at how much he liked this side of Kevin.
09:53Consider it done.
09:59Confidence oozed from Kevin. He was finally in his element.
10:07So how much do you need?
10:10Not a whole lot. Only around eight billion dollars.
10:13Eight billion? That's not a lot. I was kicked out for way less.
10:18Would you like for me to grovel, boy?
10:20It's not going to happen.
10:27Is it done?
10:33Your demands have been met. Now make the call. You will help us, won't you?
10:37You really think I have eight billion dollars?
10:39Don't play dumb. Just 20% of the stock you own is currently worth 9.6 billion dollars.
10:46A number that is rising as we speak.
10:49Remember, you are a Williams too. This is your legacy on the line.
10:55My legacy? Were you worried about my legacy when you kicked me out two years ago?
11:00You know I'm married, right?
11:02I am aware.
11:03You know, I got engaged the day before you decided to exile me.
11:10Did you know that?
11:11I have a new family now.
11:13And I'm not just going to kick them out on their butts just to have your loyalty.
11:18You left me for dead. So give me one good reason why I should bring you back to life.
11:25I'll help you build your empire.
11:28You want to be a man again, boy?
11:31You will be the most successful Williams family member to date.
11:35Wealthier than God.
11:37Wealthier than God.
11:41Finally, an offer Kevin could get behind.
11:46Keep talking.
11:47I'll let you have Williams Media.
11:51Williams Media is our most profitable and high-profile company.
11:54The largest and most successful entertainment company in America.
11:58Think about it.
11:59Think of all the celebrities we've signed.
12:01All that influence that will be loyal to your name.
12:05You'll start tomorrow as the chief executive in charge.
12:08You'll have a company and a purpose.
12:12What say you?
12:14Will Kevin agree to his grandfather's terms and build his empire?
12:18Will he tell Lily his secret and save her company?
12:21Will Kevin agree to his grandfather's terms and build his empire?
12:24Will he tell Lily his secret and save her company?
12:37Hey, babe.
12:39Hey, listen. I, um...
12:42I wanted to apologize for taking Riley's bait earlier.
12:46No, it's, it's okay. I was actually calling to apologize to you.
12:51I just, I've been...
12:53You've been stressed lately, so I get it.
12:55I just, I shouldn't have let that douchebag get under my skin.
12:58Just, that douche is the best chance I have at saving my company.
13:03He reports directly to the Williams family and that's like the richest family in the city, so...
13:09It has to be done.
13:11Little did she know, Kevin was now at the helm of that family.
13:14Her company's fate was in his hands, not Bradley's.
13:17I get it.
13:19Listen, everything's gonna be okay.
13:21Alright?
13:24Anyway, I have to go back to work.
13:26Yeah, yeah, I should, uh, I should go too.
13:29It's just, you know, my family can be so judgmental and it would mean the world to me if you could just make a good impression.
13:37Yeah.
13:38I'd do anything to make you proud.
13:41Talk to you later?
13:42Of course.
13:44I love you.
13:54Oh my god, that is so embarrassing.
14:02Like, how does an arch-hair woman get married to a man with a broken motorbike?
14:07Tragic.
14:08It was like something you'd see in the dump.
14:11Him or the bike?
14:13No, no, no, okay?
14:14Then get this.
14:15He said he was going to buy her a dream lover's necklace.
14:19Can you believe that?
14:20Completely delusional.
14:22Hey!
14:23That's enough!
14:25If I were you, I wouldn't speak about things you know nothing about.
14:30Sorry, Miss Jones.
14:38Lily knew that Kevin wasn't an idiot.
14:40She just wished he'd stop living with his head in the clouds.
14:43Maybe they both could give their relationship another go.
14:46She hadn't given up on him yet.
14:59Kevin's life was about to change, once and for all.
15:02He couldn't believe this was really happening.
15:04It was now or never.
15:07Huh?
15:10My bike!
15:11What the hell is wrong with you?
15:18Look at my dress!
15:21Why the heck would you park that right there?
15:23Brittany?
15:24Kevin?
15:25Are you the new security guard or something?
15:27What?
15:28No!
15:29Look at my dress.
15:30I have a very important meeting today and you ruined it and I just had it resized!
15:34You just destroyed my bike!
15:35Anyone hurt?
15:36Brittany Davis.
15:38Big fan.
15:39I didn't realize you were coming to sign your contract already.
15:42I was on my way in and then all of this happened.
15:45What are you going to do about it?
15:48Who said that you could ride this thing in here?
15:50Who said that I couldn't?
15:51Besides, she hit me.
15:57Mr. Martin, um, is this what you call security?
16:01Because I don't think it's a very good reflection on your company.
16:03Rest assured, I definitely won't allow someone like him to keep working here.
16:07Kevin glanced at the man's nameplate.
16:09A production assistant thinks he could fire another employee at will?
16:13Oh, so you're going to fire me?
16:15And what makes you, an assistant, think that you can fire me?
16:20Okay, I'm very much so over this.
16:22I'm calling your manager.
16:23Go ahead.
16:24Please.
16:25Let's see what happens.
16:26Hey, you're kidding, right?
16:28Get out of here!
16:31You know what?
16:33I think I'm going to stay right here.
16:35I said leave.
16:36You are going to regret this.
16:39What the hell is going on here?
16:41Hey, buddy!
16:42The new security guard made me spill my drink and he's refusing to pay for damages.
16:46You what?
16:47I was just handling it.
16:48Ah, I've heard enough.
16:50Apologize right now or your first day will be your last day here.
16:54You three are about to feel very stupid.
16:56Uh, you will apologize to my niece or you'll be facing criminal charges on top of losing your job.
17:03Yeah, just keep piling it on.
17:18Ah, perfect timing.
17:20Mrs. Wilson.
17:21Sorry, sir.
17:22I went to get the new quarterly reports and I lost track of time.
17:25I hope you can forgive me.
17:27No forgiveness needed.
17:28Uh, excuse me, Mrs. Wilson.
17:31Do you know this man?
17:32Of course.
17:33Why wouldn't I know the new CEO?
17:38Is Kevin really the new Williams Media CEO?
17:41Will he finally tell Lily his secret and save her company?
17:48You have to be kidding me.
17:50I assure you, I'm not.
17:52It can't be. I went to school with the weirdo.
17:54Let me see those.
17:56Claire was the executive manager of public relations and didn't recognize the new CEO.
18:00What had she done?
18:01Sir, I am so, so sorry.
18:04I swear nothing like this will happen in the future.
18:06Future?
18:07Please, sir, I've worked diligently here for years.
18:11Mr. Williams, this is my fault.
18:13I hit your bike.
18:14Please don't punish my auntie.
18:16She works so hard.
18:17Ms. David, please.
18:20This assistant tried to fire me.
18:24Can you believe that?
18:26I'll inform his supervisor.
18:29Wonderful.
18:30Kevin didn't feel a single regret.
18:32After years of daily humiliation, he was finally in charge.
18:36Well, let's go.
18:38We have work to do.
18:39We have work to do.
18:47He soaked in the hip atmosphere of his new company, embracing his role with earnest.
18:51Right this way, sir. Your office.
18:59This was his destiny.
19:00Please, join us.
19:03Sir, what happened downstairs?
19:18I really am terribly sorry.
19:20Surely, we can just forget about all of this and continue to me signing some papers.
19:25Kevin was enjoying this.
19:27You guys must think I'm some kind of bully.
19:29Maybe I am.
19:33Give me one good reason why I should sign you.
19:40Oh, I don't know, but he insisted on coming up with me to see you.
19:46I was told to wait here until I could personally deliver this to you.
19:50Well, what is it? What's so shocking?
19:55Is this...
19:56The genuine article.
19:57A dream, lovers.
20:00Whoever your admirer is, they're very generous.
20:04You have to try it on.
20:06You're not going to believe it.
20:07It's a...
20:08It's a...
20:10It's a...
20:11It's a...
20:12It's a...
20:13It's a...
20:14It's a...
20:15It's a...
20:16I know.
20:17You have to try it on.
