Short filmTranscript
00:00Kevin thought he was living the dream after marrying his college sweetheart,
00:03but his mother-in-law turned it into a nightmare.
00:06Have you been playing video games all night?
00:08Oh, I don't know what my daughter sees in you.
00:10These dishes aren't going to wash themselves.
00:13Kevin could feel his mother-in-law draining the life from his marriage.
00:17All Lily could have married anyone.
00:19Lord knows what she was thinking when she chosen you.
00:22It was the same ordeal every day.
00:24You and Lily have been married for over two years now, and still no children.
00:29But unbeknownst to Kevin, everything was about to change.
00:32Dude, you're rich!
00:35What?
00:36Bro, check your old crypto wallet. Orion coin is off the charts.
00:39The number was too high for his digital wallet to even calculate.
00:42Kevin was now the richest man in the city, maybe even the world.
00:46Honey, what are you doing up so late?
00:48Uh, nothing.
00:50Nothing? Really? Doesn't look like nothing.
00:53Really, it's nothing.
00:57I wouldn't lie to you.
00:59Okay.
01:03Kevin was a great husband to Lily.
01:05He did all the chores.
01:06He rode this old junker around so she could use the car for work.
01:11Kevin, where are you? You said you would help me.
01:15Glad you could finally make it.
01:16Was there traffic in the hallway?
01:18Sorry, I was actually fixing my bike.
01:20These dishes aren't going to wash themselves.
01:24Yes, ma'am.
01:25Oh, thank you.
01:26I mean, you've been living in this home now for the last two years.
01:30Yes, ma'am, I'll do some dishes.
01:32Clearly makes up for that.
01:35Trust me, it's no vacation.
01:37What was that?
01:37I said thank you, Dorothy.
01:40You have been so kind to me and Lily.
01:42This is the least I can do.
01:44Please let me know if there's anything else.
01:46You could get a job.
01:48You know, make some money.
01:49Our Lily could have married anyone.
01:51Lord knows what she was thinking when she chose you.
01:54I'm going to make you and Lily proud one day.
01:57You'll see.
01:58You're just lucky she was too love drunk to sign the prenup, like I suggested.
02:01Otherwise, I'd have gotten her to divorce you years ago.
02:05Hey, guys.
02:06Kevin still got butterflies every time he looked at Lily.
02:09Oh, hi, honey.
02:10Mother-son bonding time, I see.
02:17Beautiful and driven, she had one flaw.
02:20She had terrible taste in friends.
02:23Rachel.
02:24Kev.
02:26Nice outfit.
02:27Thanks, I'm doing dishes.
02:30My husband pay someone for that.
02:32Stop, Rachel.
02:33You don't need to be mean.
02:35Thanks, babe.
02:36Freshen up, okay?
02:46He says he's going to make us proud one day.
02:49When?
02:50For their entire marriage, Kevin had searched for a way to tell Lily.
02:53He was actually the son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the entire country.
03:01You fool!
03:04You've wasted your entire inheritance!
03:07What?
03:08You're out of the family.
03:12Out!
03:14What the hell is a Ryan coin?
03:17Grandpa.
03:21I don't care.
03:22How could you say that?
03:24You're always so mean to him.
03:26It's because I care about you, Lil.
03:28You're a boss and Kevin, no offense, is an absolute bum.
03:34He's like the before picture of an Ambien commercial.
03:37Oh my god!
03:38Seriously, why do you stay with him?
03:46He wasn't always like this.
03:48When we first met, he was confident and charming and...
03:53I don't know what happened, but I just feel like if I stay with him long enough,
03:59he might actually find himself again.
04:01I really love the man that he used to be.
04:04But do you love the guy he is right now?
04:10Sometimes I just feel like...
04:13I don't know.
04:14He's just been so closed off lately and the romance is gone
04:18and if he could just find himself again, be the man that I knew him to be,
04:22the man that I know he can be.
04:25You could be with any man you want.
04:27You shouldn't stay with someone out of pity.
04:30I don't want to talk about this anymore.
04:32I just spent my whole day putting out fires at work.
04:34We got a new contract last month and there was an error in some of the data
04:40and now we owe the client seven million dollars.
04:44Someone offered to step in and give us the three,
04:46but I still need to find the other four million by the end of the week
04:50or the whole company goes out of business.
04:52Oh my god.
04:54How are you going to find four million dollars in one week?
04:56Kevin wanted to tell Lily that he'd just recently come into some cash,
05:01but fate had other plans.
05:08Hello.
05:10Never thought I'd hear from you again.
05:13What's up?
05:13Kevin, I was wrong about you.
05:16Your family needs you.
05:17We've gone bankrupt.
05:18The crypto you wasted your inheritance on.
05:21I know what Orion coin is worth now.
05:24Will you save us?
05:26That's rich.
05:28No, you are.
05:31And if you save us, I promise to find a way to make it up to you.
05:34You'll be a full member of the family.
05:38A full...
05:40Do you honestly think that I would want that after everything you did to me?
05:43Don't you want to be the man you used to be?
05:47If he could just find himself again, be the man that I knew him to be.
05:51The man that I know he can be.
05:53What do you say?
05:55Kevin's grandfather was right about one thing.
05:58Kevin was tired of being the shell of a man that he was.
06:02It was time he developed a spine and built his own empire.
06:06Kevin?
06:08More determined than ever, Kevin knew what he had to do.
06:13I don't know what I'm gonna do.
06:17Hey, I uh, I don't mean to eavesdrop but
06:20you mentioned that your company will meet four million dollars.
06:23I can help.
06:25You?
06:27Kevin who's been living off his wife for the past two years?
06:30She needs help.
06:31I can-
06:32Are you delusional or-
06:33You don't believe me.
06:34Kevin.
06:37Remember this moment, Rachel.
06:39Because you're gonna feel so dumb when I finally get to say I told you so.
06:44Okay, Kev.
06:44Stop, Rachel.
06:45He always-
06:46No, you're always the one-
06:47Please, stop!
06:50Babe, listen.
06:51As much as I appreciate it, you offering to help with the four million?
06:56How is that even possible?
06:57You haven't worked since we've been married.
06:59Unless you're hiding something from me?
07:05What is it, Kev?
07:09All right.
07:10Rach, stay as long as you like.
07:13I'm going to bed.
07:16Sleep on the couch tonight.
07:24What?
07:26I don't know.
07:27Just the tragedy of a queen like her being chained to a guy like you.
07:33Kevin spent yet another night unable to sleep.
07:36Is he really the richest man in the world?
07:42It didn't feel real to him.
07:44Maybe he could finally be the man he was when he first met his wife.
07:53Jesus!
07:54Have you been playing video games all night?
07:56What is wrong with you?
07:57Oh, I don't know what my daughter sees in you.
07:59I'm using the car to run some errands.
08:01Why don't you do something useful for once and drop your wife off of work?
08:05On it, ma'am.
08:08Crazy old lady.
08:15Hey, Lil, you ready to go?
08:17Sorry, I'm running a bit behind.
08:20Your mom's taking the car.
08:22What?
08:23We have to take the bike.
08:26Okay.
08:30Kevin could never get over just how stunning his wife was.
08:35A goddess in human form.
08:40Lily, you look really beautiful.
08:44Thanks, Kev.
08:45Oh, sorry.
08:47Can we go?
08:48I don't want to be late.
08:49Yeah, yeah, totally.
08:51Thanks.
09:00You okay?
09:01You seem stressed.
09:03Yeah.
09:04We just got the reports back this morning,
09:06and by the end of the week, we're filing for bankruptcy.
09:08We're meeting with all the major shareholders today.
09:11I just feel so terrible.
09:13It's all my fault.
09:14Yeah, but it wasn't your mistake that started all this, so it's not your fault.
09:17No, Kev.
09:18I'm the chairman of the company.
09:19I'm responsible for everything that happens.
09:25What?
09:26Nothing.
09:26I just hope that this company cares about you as much as you seem to care about them.
09:33Okay.
09:43Have a good day, babe.
09:44Thank you for the ride.
09:46Of course.
09:46Lily!
09:48Hi, Bradley!
09:49Hi.
09:51Oh, my gosh.
09:52So good to see you.
09:53You really are having a bad week.
09:54You called an Uber bike to get here?
09:56Oh, no.
09:58You could have called me.
09:59Kevin, Lily's husband.
10:01Oh, you're the famous Kevin.
10:04Yes, this is him.
10:05You know, Rachel has told me so much about you.
10:08Rachel?
10:09She does a great impression of you, actually.
10:13I bet she does.
10:15Anyway, so glad I bumped into you.
10:17My heart aches for you and everything that's been happening with your company.
10:20Oh, thank you.
10:21That's so sweet.
10:22So sweet.
10:24So, I got you a little something.
10:27Sweet.
10:27So, I got you a little gift.
10:30What?
10:31You didn't have to do that.
10:32Yeah, Bradley.
10:33You really shouldn't.
10:35Oh, that's...
10:37Come on, let me put it on you.
10:39No, no, it's too much.
10:41I insist.
10:44At that moment, Kevin had murder in his eyes.
10:46Saving Lily's company was one thing, but first he had to handle Bradley.
10:50I'll do it.
10:52Her husband will put it on her.
10:55Okay.
10:56Be careful with that.
10:57It's a Dreamlovers.
11:01No!
11:03Oops.
11:05What the hell, Kev?
11:07It's a fake.
11:08Dreamlovers nexus costs a small country's GDP.
11:11And there's only 10 of them in the entire world.
11:13So?
11:14How could you?
11:15It slipped.
11:15Bradley, you lied?
11:17I didn't lie to you.
11:18It's an exact replica.
11:19It cost me a hundred grand.
11:21Oh my god.
11:22Oh my god.
11:23Now, I am so sorry, Bradley.
11:25So sorry, Bradley.
11:27I know how much you admired those necklaces, and you've been working so hard.
11:31I thought you deserved something special.
11:33Bradley, I'm sure this really was a mistake.
11:35Right, Kev?
11:36What she deserves is a real one, not some douchebag's knockoff.
11:40Okay, whoa, stop!
11:42I need you to apologize to Bradley right now.
11:45He's a representative at Williams Media.
11:47Remember?
11:47The seven million that we owe him and someone stepped in, so now we only owe four?
11:51His company is fighting the rest.
11:54Please, Kevin?
12:00Sorry, I broke the necklace.
12:03What was that?
12:05No, I didn't hear you.
12:10Please forgive me.
12:15Apology accepted.
12:17All right, I'm going to work.
12:20See you at the meeting?
12:21See you at the meeting.
12:29I know what you're trying to do.
12:30It's not going to work.
12:31Stay away from my wife.
12:33I buy her expensive gifts, not you.
12:36Honestly, I feel bad for her.
12:38She'll never have anything nice with you around.
12:43Get out of my way.
12:46You can't even afford a car.
12:48Kevin was more resolved than ever to become the man Lily wanted him to be.
12:52But before he could take care of Bradley, he had to pay a visit to someone from his past.
12:59Williams Manor, home sweet home.
13:05Kevin, my grandchild.
13:09Let's skip the formalities, shall we?
13:13I can see you've been enjoying your sabbatical.
13:15Sabbatical?
13:17Is that what you call disowning your grandson?
13:19Let's not dwell on events of the past, shall we?
13:23Please have a seat.
13:31I'm good, Uncle.
13:32I just came here to talk.
13:40I thought about it, and I'll hear you out on two conditions.
13:43Number one, by six o'clock this evening, you will get me an authentic dream lover's necklace.
13:51Dream lover?
13:55I don't care how.
13:57I just want it delivered to my wife, in secret.
13:59And number two, you're going to fire one of your board members.
14:03Bradley something.
14:05Mr. Williams was surprised at how much he liked this side of Kevin.
14:08Consider it done.
14:14Confidence oozed from Kevin.
14:17He was finally in his element.
14:23So how much do you need?
14:25Not a whole lot.
14:27Only around eight billion dollars.
14:29Eight billion?
14:30That's not a lot.
14:31I was kicked out for way less.
14:33Would you like for me to grovel, boy?
14:35It's not going to happen.
14:42Is it done?
14:43No.
14:48Your demands have been met.
14:50Now make the call.
14:51You will help us, won't you?
14:53You really think I have eight billion dollars?
14:54Don't play dumb.
14:56Just 20% of the stock you own is currently worth 9.6 billion dollars.
15:01A number that is rising as we speak.
15:05Remember, you are a Williams too.
15:08This is your legacy on the line.
15:10My legacy?
15:11Were you worried about my legacy when you kicked me out two years ago?
15:14You know I'm married, right?
15:16I am aware.
15:17You know, I got engaged the day before you decided to exile me.
15:24Did you know that?
15:25I have a new family now.
15:27And I'm not just going to kick them out on their butts just to have your loyalty.
15:33You left me for dead.
15:34So give me one good reason why I should bring you back to life.
15:39I'll help you build it.
15:41Your empire.
15:43You want to be a man again, boy?
15:46You will be the most successful Williams family member to date.
15:55Wealthier than God.
15:58Wealthier than God.
16:01Finally, an offer Kevin could get behind.
16:06Keep talking.
16:08I'll let you have Williams Media.
16:10Wait.
16:13Isn't your wife the CEO?
16:18Indeed.
16:23You just love giving away things that don't belong to you.
16:30My wife would gladly give it up if it meant saving this family.
16:37Williams Media is our most profitable and high-profile company.
16:40The largest and most successful entertainment company in America.
16:44Think of all the celebrities we've signed.
16:47All that influence that will be loyal to your name.
16:51You'll start tomorrow as the chief executive in charge.
16:54You will have a company and a purpose.
16:58What say you?
17:01Will Kevin agree to his grandfather's terms and build his empire?
17:04Will he tell Lily his secret and save her company?
17:07Find out what happens next on Pocket FM.
17:17Hey, babe.
17:19Hey, listen, I um...
17:22I wanted to apologize for taking Riley's bait earlier.
17:27No, it's... it's okay.
17:28I was actually calling to apologize to you.
17:32I just... I've been...
17:33You've been stressed lately, so I get it.
17:35I just shouldn't let that douchebag get under my skin.
17:38Just that douche is the best chance I have at saving my company.
17:43He reports directly to the Williams family,
17:46and that's like the richest family in the city, so it has to be done.
17:51Little did she know, Kevin was now at the helm of that family.
17:55Her company's fate was in his hands, not Bradley's.
17:58I get it.
18:00Listen, everything's gonna be okay, all right?
18:04Anyway, I have to go back to work.
18:07Yeah, yeah, I should uh... I should go too.
18:10I have that college reunion lunch to get to.
18:13Oh yeah, right, I forgot.
18:15Oh, hey, listen, could you find the time to pick up a soup before my family's dinner tonight?
18:20It's just, you know, my family can be so judgmental,
18:23and it would mean the world to me if you could just make a good impression.
18:28Yeah, I'd do anything to make you proud.
18:32Talk to you later?
18:33Of course. I love you.
18:44Oh my god, that is so embarrassing.
18:52Like how does our chairwoman get married to a man with a broken motorbike?
18:57Tragic.
18:58It was like something you'd see in the dump.
19:00Him or the bike?
19:02No, no, no, okay?
19:04Then get this.
19:05He said he was going to buy her a dream lover's necklace.
19:08Can you believe that?
19:09Completely delusional.
19:12Hey, that's enough!
19:15If I were you, I wouldn't speak about things you know nothing about.
19:20Sorry, Miss Jones.
19:27Lily knew that Kevin wasn't an idiot.
19:30She just wished he'd stopped living with his head in the clouds.
19:33Maybe they both could give their relationship another go.
19:36She hadn't given up on him yet.
19:44I hope you're not wearing that to the Jones family dinner.
19:48Uh, it's actually for something else.
19:50I don't care.
19:52You and Lily have been married for over two years now, and still no children.
20:00Excuse me?
20:01Does your family have any genetic history or issues with fertility?
20:06Are you questioning my manhood?
20:11Both of my parents are very healthy, as far as I know.
20:14And there are no genetic oddities on my side.
20:18Oh, so you're saying the false with my side of the family?
20:20What? No.
20:22I don't know your parents.
20:23So why don't we schedule a doctor's appointment for you to get tested?
20:27Are you just looking for reasons to break up my marriage?
20:29Why are you getting defensive?
20:30You know, Dorothy, I can't with you.
20:33Where are you going?
20:38Okay.
20:42Kevin Williams, what's up, baby?
20:44Tucker, what's up, man?
20:45How you feeling?
20:46Good, good.
20:46How are you doing?
20:47I'm good.
20:48It's good to see you.
20:48It's good to see you.
20:50Is that your new whip out there?
20:51Ain't she a beaut?
20:53And do you look eccentric?
20:56As ever?
20:58Please tell me you're not riding the dirt bike still.
21:00Yeah, of course I am.
21:02It's the first thing I ever bought with my own money, so, you know.
21:05Yeah, well, we both got a bit more to spend now.
21:10You never did tell me what you made.
21:14Oh my god, Britney!
21:17Britney was the most popular girl at Kevin's college.
21:20A few years ago, she'd made it big after a string of commercials.
21:24You're so stunning.
21:25You're perfect!
21:27Would you look at that?
21:28A star is born.
21:30Yeah, I would have thought she would have left the city by now.
21:32She's about to.
21:34Entertainment Weekly says she's on the up and up.
21:36She's gonna be a super celebrity before you know it.
21:39Well, I wouldn't want to brag.
21:41Of course not.
21:41Oh, you're so sweet.
21:43Okay, fine.
21:44Someone is signing with Williams Media in the next couple days.
21:47Someone like moi.
21:52Williams Media, huh?
21:55Hey, hold my drink.
21:57Okay.
21:59Hey, Kevin.
22:00Hey.
22:01Kevin.
22:02Kevin, Kevin.
22:04Ew, what is that outfit?
22:06It's very disgusting.
22:09Yeah, Kevin, did you dress yourself today?
22:12Or, like, ever?
22:14So nice talking to you guys.
22:15Still talking to us?
22:16Yeah, yeah.
22:17Oh my god, he's still there.
22:21Ah, guess I'm still a weirdo.
22:27Hey, is everything all right?
22:33Yeah, just finished work.
22:35I was calling to remind you about the suit for later.
22:39Yeah, I'm on it.
22:42It's just, it's really important, okay?
22:45I'm aware, babe.
22:47Listen, Lil, I—
22:48How's my girl doing?
22:50Mom, what are you doing here?
22:52Can't I pick you up after work?
22:56Who is this?
22:58Oh, I don't know, but he insisted on coming up with me to see you.
23:04I was told to wait here until I could personally deliver this to you.
23:16Well, what is it?
23:16What's so important?
23:18Well, what is it?
23:19What's so shocking?
23:23Is this—
23:24The genuine article?
23:26A dream, Lovers.
23:28Whoever your admirer is, they're very generous.
23:32You have to try it on.
23:35Was she dreaming?
23:37Who exactly gave it to her?
23:38Could it have been Bradley Smith?
23:41What are you waiting for?
23:44I can't accept this.
23:45It's—
23:46I can't accept this.
23:48It's too much.
23:49She sounded modest, but deep down, she knew Kevin would hate to see her wearing this extravagant
23:54gift from Bradley.
23:55For God's sakes.
23:56If you don't want it, I'll take it.
23:59Just try the dang thing on.
24:04Hey, dude, I gotta go.
24:05My wife wants me to pick up a suit before I head home.
24:08Really?
24:09You?
24:10Well, I hope you don't need it tailored.
24:12Well, yeah.
24:12I mean, I want it to be nice, right?
24:15For tonight.
24:18Oh, bro, you're gonna need a miracle worker to get that finished in time.
24:22Who needs a miracle worker when you're the richest man in the city?
24:26Hey, look.
24:28I need another favor.
24:32Lily finally understood what it felt like to be seen by a man.
24:36As she touched the rare stone, she thought of how unhappy she'd been this last year.
24:41You look beautiful, Lily.
24:43You deserve this.
24:46You work so hard.
24:49I only wish you'd allow yourself more happiness in life.
25:04She deserved this.
25:05This feeling.
25:07She'd held on to this dream with Kevin for far too long.
25:10For the first time, she felt ready to let go.
25:13Not because she didn't love Kevin, nor because she had any love for Bradley.
25:17She was simply ready to love herself.
25:19It's okay.
25:22She had made her decision.
25:24Tonight, she would tell Kevin it was over.
25:32However, that decision seemed to fade away right then and there.
25:35In that moment, Kevin was the most handsome man Lily had ever seen.
25:39Not a hair out of place,
25:40and in a custom-fit suit perfectly tailored to accentuate his body.
25:44Forgot how fit you were in a suit.
25:46Lily, Mom's watching.
25:48She was just about to leave him, but in that moment, she never wanted to let him go.
25:53Finally, let's go.
25:59Let's get out of here.
26:06Suddenly, she had no idea what she was going to do.
26:11Oh, my God.
26:15If it isn't my favorite cousin.
26:18Cousin Jason.
26:19Hi.
26:20It's so nice to see you again.
26:23I love that dress.
26:26And Auntie Dorothy, radiant as always.
26:29Jason.
26:32Oh, Kevin.
26:34Jason.
26:34Good to see you finally dressed like a gentleman for once.
26:38That's a nice suit.
26:39Was it on sale?
26:41My daughter gave you $1,000 to buy clothes, and you bought something on sale.
26:44No, of course not.
26:46Always such a cheapskate.
26:47It's not cheap.
26:48Well, how much did it cost then?
26:52I don't know.
26:53It was a gift.
26:54Oh, so they took one look at you and felt so bad that they offered you something for free?
27:00No, it's not-
27:01Come on, let's just sit.
27:10The suit's not cheap, Lil.
27:15I mean, it's better than whatever that is.
27:18Excuse me?
27:19Okay.
27:20This is a $20,000 suit.
27:23See, I actually respect this family enough to show up in style.
27:27Want a piece of advice?
27:29Leave before you embarrass her further.
27:32Thanks, Jason.
27:34But I don't need your advice.
27:36Who told you you could touch me?
27:38You're dirtying my suit.
27:41Your measly $20,000 suit?
27:43I'm more concerned that I might get soil on my hand by touching it.
27:46You are right about one thing.
27:48Lily and I do prefer to dress a little bit more casual.
27:52However-
27:54What are you doing?
27:55She does prefer fine jewelry.
27:58Is that a dream, lovers?
28:00Am I seeing correctly?
28:02Oh my god, that's like every woman's dream.
28:05Kev, you knew?
28:08Can Kevin impress Lily's family?
28:10Will Lily discover who bought her the dream lovers necklace?
28:13Will Kevin finally tell Lily his secret and save her company?
28:16It can't be.
28:17There's only 10 of those in the world.
28:20Believe it.
28:20Is it really real?
28:22Where did you get it?
28:23I'm not sure it was a gift.
28:24Where would your family find the money to buy such a rare piece of jewelry?
28:28It's none of your business how much money my family has.
28:30We don't answer to you.
28:31Kevin.
28:35Jason, forgive Kevin.
28:36He can't hold his tongue.
28:38Where are your parents tonight?
28:40Dorothy was looking for a diplomatic solution, but Jason wasn't having it.
28:44My parents are overseas on company business.
28:48Unlike you, they're not lazy.
28:51What do you do all day except get your little son-in-law to wait on you hand and foot?
28:55How dare you?
28:56What on earth is going on in here?
29:01Grandma!
29:02The Jones family matriarch.
29:03She built this family from humble roots to the small empire they had today,
29:08using both grit and class.
29:10Zip it.
29:11Now, I am hungry enough to eat this centerpiece.
29:16Somebody bring the food in.
29:28Kevin was very hungry, and the food looked so delicious.
29:32He didn't really care what anyone else thought about his table manners.
29:38I learned earlier today from a very reputable source
29:43that the CEO of Williams Media has changed.
29:48For years and years, our family has attempted to partner with Williams Media,
29:55but time after time, all of our offers have been rejected.
30:02But this young man may be the promise of a new generation.
30:08Kevin was amused.
30:09The old bat was well-informed.
30:10If anyone can form a partnership with our families,
30:15I am prepared to reward them handsomely.
30:20I can go.
30:20I'm great at communication.
30:22Grandma, pick me.
30:22I'm friends with the third floor receptionist.
30:24I could.
30:26I'm friends with Bradley Smith.
30:27He's on the board at Williams Media.
30:32JJ, why don't I let you take this one on?
30:37Of course, Grandma.
30:39I won't let you down.
30:43Sorry.
30:44Something in my throat.
30:46If Lily were to form a better relationship with Williams Media,
30:50maybe her own company, Siren Corp, would be saved.
30:53Hey, don't worry.
30:55Jason won't be able to talk with anyone at Williams Media about making any type of deal.
31:00What?
31:01Jason doesn't stand a chance.
31:02Why would you say that?
31:04He's a prick.
31:06Yeah, a very slimy one who's good at his job.
31:09I just meant to say you're better.
31:12You're just telling me what I want to hear.
31:23Kevin's life was about to change, once and for all.
31:27He couldn't believe this was really happening.
31:29It was now or never.
31:34My bike!
31:35What the hell is wrong with you?
31:42Look at my dress!
31:45Why the heck would you park that right there?
31:47Brittany, I'm sorry.
31:48I'm sorry.
31:49I'm sorry.
31:49I'm sorry.
31:50I'm sorry.
31:50I'm sorry.
31:51I'm sorry.
31:51I'm sorry.
31:52Brittany?
31:53Kevin?
31:54Are you the new security guard or something?
31:56What?
31:57No!
31:58Look at my dress!
31:59I have a very important meeting today and you ruined it!
32:02I just had to resize!
32:03You just destroyed my bike!
32:04Anyone hurt?
32:05Brittany Davis.
32:07Big fan.
32:08I didn't realize you were coming to sign your contract already.
32:11I was on my way in and then all of this happened.
32:15What are you gonna do about it?
32:17Who said that you could ride this thing in here?
32:19Who said that I couldn't?
32:21Besides, she hit me.
32:27Mr. Martin, is this what you call security?
32:30Because I don't think it's a very good reflection on your company.
32:33Rest assured, I definitely won't allow someone like him to keep working here.
32:37Kevin glanced at the man's nameplate.
32:39A production assistant thinks he could fire another employee at will.
32:42Oh, so you're gonna fire me?
32:44And what makes you, an assistant, think that you can fire me?
32:49Okay, I'm very much so over this.
32:51I'm calling your manager.
32:52Go ahead, please.
32:54Let's see what happens.
32:55You're kidding, right?
32:57Get out of here.
33:00You know what?
33:02I think I'm gonna stay right here.
33:04I said leave.
33:06You are gonna regret this.
33:08What the hell is going on here?
33:11The new security guard made me spill my drink and he's refusing to pay for damages.
33:15You what?
33:16I was just handling it.
33:17Ah, I've heard enough.
33:20Apologize right now or your first day will be your last day here.
33:24You three are about to feel very stupid.
33:26You will apologize to my niece or you'll be facing criminal charges on top of losing your job.
33:33Yeah, just keep piling it on.
33:48Ah, perfect timing.
33:49Mrs. Wilson.
33:51Sorry, sir.
33:52I went to get the new quarterly reports and I lost track of time.
33:55I hope you can forgive me.
33:56No forgiveness needed.
33:58Uh, excuse me, Ms. Wilson.
34:01Do you know this man?
34:02Of course.
34:03Why wouldn't I know the new CEO?
34:08Is Kevin really the new Williams Media CEO?
34:11Will he finally tell Lily his secret and save her company?
34:14Find out what happens next on Pocket FM.
34:18You have to be kidding me.
34:20I assure you, I'm not.
34:21It can't be.
34:22I went to school with the weirdo.
34:23Let me see those.
34:25Claire was the executive manager of public relations and didn't recognize the new CEO.
34:30What had she done?
34:31Sir, I am so, so sorry.
34:33I swear nothing like this will happen in the future.
34:35Future?
34:36Please, sir.
34:37I've worked diligently here for years.
34:41Mr. Williams, this is my fault.
34:42I hit your bike.
34:44Please don't punish my auntie.
34:45She works so...
34:47Ms. Davis, please.
34:51This assistant tried to fire me.
34:55Can you believe that?
34:57I'll inform his supervisor.
34:59Wonderful.
35:01Kevin didn't feel a single regret.
35:03After years of daily humiliation, he was finally in charge.
35:06Well, let's go.
35:08We have work to do.
35:10He soaked in the hip atmosphere of his new company, embracing his role with earnest.
35:14Right this way, sir.
35:16Your office.
35:22This was his destiny.
35:24Please, join us.
35:31Sir, what happened downstairs?
35:35I don't know.
35:35I don't know.
35:36I don't know.
35:36I don't know.
35:37I don't know.
35:37I don't know.
35:38I don't know.
35:38I don't know.
35:40Ah.
35:50I really am terribly sorry.
35:53Surely, we can just forget about all of this and continue to be signing some papers.
35:57Kevin was enjoying this.
35:59You guys must think I'm some kind of bully.
36:04Maybe I am.
36:05Give me one good reason why I should sign you.
36:11Sir.
36:12There's a Jones family representative downstairs.
36:15Which one?
36:16There has to be some mistake.
36:18I've never met the new CEO.
36:21Oh, that's enough.
36:21He doesn't want to see you.
36:22Kevin.
36:24He can't do this to me.
36:27I've been banned from the premises.
36:29I have no idea what I've done.
36:31Kevin, I'm sorry.
36:32I'm sorry.
36:33I'm sorry.
36:34Can you believe that?
36:35I am so sorry that you had to endure that, J.J.
36:40The new CEO of Williams Corporation is just a young man.
36:45He's probably too young to be at the helm of such a large corporation.
36:49And it's normal that people like him look down on your money.
36:53That's not it.
36:55His assistant said as long as we present a worthwhile spokesperson,
37:01he'd happily meet with someone from our family.
37:03I just do not accept that.
37:06There is no one more worthy than you, J.J.
37:09Regretfully, Grandma, I think that person might be Lily.
37:22She was correct last night to point out that she already has a friend
37:25on the board at Williams Media.
37:28They actually like her there.
37:30Lily.
37:32You were telling the truth.
37:34Well, you should go in J.J.'s stead.
37:36I want to, but Grandma, my friend...
37:38Grandma Jones is giving you a chance to prove yourself, Lily.
37:42Last she heard, Bradley had been kicked off the board.
37:45Did Jason know this?
37:46Was he setting her up?
37:48Siren Corporation is going under.
37:52What if I stepped in and provided the funds to pull it out?
37:59If you would be willing to do this for the family,
38:04I can save your skin.
38:07What do you say?
38:11What choice did she have?
38:18Dude, I think you've gotten worse at this.
38:25So why haven't you told her yet?
38:28I don't know, man.
38:29I mean, I want to, but...
38:33I've been lying for so long.
38:36I mean, not just about the Orion Pale, but way before that.
38:39Yeah, I mean, it is understandable.
38:43If I was the heir to a Fortune 500 company,
38:45I would never tell the girl I'm with.
38:47Wouldn't want to get too laid.
38:49Shut up.
38:50Oh, God.
38:51I'm joking.
38:52Man, Lily's not like other girls.
38:56I mean, she's genuine, you know?
38:58She values honesty above all else.
39:00That's kind of why I fell in love with her.
39:02Oh, my God.
39:04You're so boring.
39:06You're a hater.
39:07Oh, look at me.
39:08I'm a billionaire.
39:09Please don't tell my wife.
39:10Come on, dude.
39:12Damn.
39:13Where is Lily, anyways?
39:16It was finally time for Kevin to show to Lily
39:18that he's the man she loved.
39:23Surprise.
39:24There she is.
39:25Rachel, what are you doing here?
39:27You said you were having a tough week,
39:29so I brought my strongest friend.
39:30And the door was left open,
39:32and, you know, I can't resist a good reveal.
39:35The door was left unlocked?
39:36Kevin wasn't here?
39:38Ding dong, the bum is dead.
39:40He's normally here.
39:42That's weird, right?
39:44Who cares?
39:45I just admire that you haven't filed for a divorce yet.
39:51What?
39:52He's holding you back,
39:54and your mom wants a grandchild.
39:55You've been talking to my mom?
39:57It's not like you and Kevin have been trying that hard.
40:00Wow.
40:01Well, that's really none of your business.
40:03Listen, you deserve a relationship that's safe and secure,
40:07and I'm just concerned.
40:08Concerned about what?
40:11Where were you?
40:12Rachel says you weren't home.
40:13I was.
40:15Upstairs.
40:16Napping.
40:18You're all sweaty.
40:25Uh, AC's on the fritz.
40:28That for me?
40:29Nope.
40:31Why are you staring at me?
40:35Hey, Lil, do you still need someone to cover that $4 million?
40:39Yeah.
40:40Wow, Kev.
40:41Way to rub it in.
40:42And remember when I tried to talk to you about it yesterday,
40:45and you shot me down?
40:47Yeah, because it was silly, and...
40:49You're gonna call me boss when I prove you wrong.
40:55Sure, okay.
40:57And when you can't conjure up $4 million from the void,
41:00you're gonna call me mistress.
41:03You okay, sweetie?
41:05What is happening?
41:06Well, I wanted to surprise you, but I guess now's a good time.
41:10Oh, what are you gonna do, Kev?
41:12Pull money out of your butt?
41:14What is this?
41:16Well, I was gonna give you cash,
41:17but it seemed irresponsible to carry that much around.
41:21God.
41:23You know what?
41:24You talk a big game for a dude that has nothing to back it up.
41:29Is that a toy?
41:31It's a card reader.
41:36Depends your birthday.
41:41What?
41:42What is it?
41:43Come on.
41:45Get ready to call me boss, missy.
41:47Hey, what's everyone?
41:50Where are your clothes?
41:53Where are you going?
41:54I'm not going anywhere.
42:00What the hell is this?
42:01How is this even possible?
42:03I told you I could help.
42:04You haven't worked in two years.
42:05Where did this come from?
42:06What are you hiding from me?
42:08There's...
42:08No, this is a lot of money.
42:10I didn't do anything illegal, if that's what you're getting at.
42:12Then where is it coming from?
42:13Kevin was scared of how she'd react,
42:15but he could see now she didn't care about the money.
42:21What she wanted was honesty.
42:23Lil, what if I told you that I'm actually a gifted entrepreneur
42:26from an extremely wealthy family?
42:29Fine.
42:30Just keep making jokes.
42:31I'm not making jokes.
42:32No, it's fine.
42:34Just promise me you're not in the mob.
42:37What is going on in here?
42:39I don't know, mom.
42:42I think Kevin just saved my company.
42:45Kevin?
42:51Oh my god.
42:52That's unbelievable.
42:54If this was a victory for Kevin,
42:56why did it feel as though he'd lost something very important?
43:04Distraught over her husband's kept secret,
43:07Lily walked into Williams Media with no plan of action.
43:09Lily still had not connected the dots
43:11that his last name was the same last name as the Williams company.
43:15Excuse me, I'm here to meet with the new CEO.
43:17Ms. Jones?
43:18Yes?
43:19Good to meet you.
43:20Unfortunately, Mr. Williams is unavailable this morning,
43:23but he's instructed for me to meet with you on his behalf.
43:26He did?
43:28Right this way.
43:41Hey.
43:45Hey.
43:47How'd the meeting go?
43:49How'd the meeting go?
43:52I got the deal.
43:54Don't play with me like that.
43:55Come here.
44:00So proud of you.
44:04We should celebrate.
44:05Oh yeah?
44:06Yeah.
44:07I'd love that.
44:07I'm so proud of you.
44:17Got some more there.
44:20How'd you like the smoothie?
44:22It's my favorite.
44:26How did you know?
44:28You were so sure that I would get the deal over Jason.
44:31I'm just confident in your abilities.
44:35Kevin, I'm good, but when I walked in that building,
44:39it practically gave me everything I asked for.
44:42Plus all that money that you had and the early morning phone calls.
44:47Was Lily finally connecting the dots?
44:49I want you to be honest with me.
44:52What's going on?
45:00You should probably get that.
45:05Oh my god.
45:08What?
45:10Grandma found out about the deal.
45:13She's throwing a party in my honor.
45:43Thank you all for coming tonight to celebrate our family's new agreement with Williams Media.
45:57And of course, we owe all of this to Jason.
46:03He suffered so to make this deal happen.
46:07So he at least deserves half the credit.
46:10Come, Jason.
46:19I couldn't have done it without you, Grandma.
46:23Or me, really, if you think about it.
46:25It takes a lot.
46:27What are you doing?
46:30Sitting with my family.
46:31We'll find another seat.
46:32That seat is reserved for Miss Anderson.
46:36Who?
46:37You don't even know who she is.
46:39Miss Phoebe Anderson is a prominent member of one of the city's top families.
46:45Hello.
46:47Now, if you don't mind.
46:49Oh, I do.
46:51I mind.
46:52No offense.
46:54How dare you?
46:55You are offending Grandmother's honored guest.
46:58No, really.
46:59I can just find another seat.
47:00Nonsense.
47:01I will not have it.
47:04You heard the lady.
47:06Don't push this.
47:07Not today.
47:27Trouble in paradise?
47:31Yes, well, enjoy your meal.
47:35Thanks.
47:39Phoebe Anderson.
47:41Lily Jones-Williams.
47:44Good to meet you.
47:45Oh, I'm sorry, but I have to ask.
47:47That is an authentic Dreamlovers, isn't it?
47:50Oh, I'm afraid it's just a very good replica.
47:54Oh, at least that's what Jason says.
47:56Trust me, darling.
47:57I've been longing for a Dreamlovers on my own for a very long time.
48:01And that is the real deal.
48:06But that would mean Bradley.
48:09Oh, my friend gave this to me as a gift.
48:12Well, then you're just gonna have to give me his number so I can find out how he procured one.
48:17They're quite rare after all.
48:18She can do better than that.
48:20You can call him.
48:22Right now.
48:24Yeah, sure.
48:26Oh, that'd be great.
48:27Haha.
48:37What's this?
48:38I just picked up a little gift.
48:40You know, the Whistler Hotel is famous for its wines.
48:43This is one of their most expensive bottles.
48:46Well, how much was it?
48:48A gentleman never tells.
48:52How much?
48:53About five grand a bottle.
48:55Where is all this money coming from?
48:58Hey!
49:00Hello.
49:01Really?
49:01I was sorry to hear about you losing your job.
49:04Yeah, I've seen better days.
49:08Yeah.
49:09Listen, I'm calling about the Dreamlovers necklace you sent me.
49:15What are you doing?
49:18I'm serving wine to my family and your guest.
49:23I get it.
49:24You're trying to show me up.
49:26Yes, I love it.
49:27Uh, well, a friend of mine wanted to see if she could get one of her own.
49:32And I was wondering if you could tell me how you were able to...
49:35Wait.
49:36You're calling me because you want another fake necklace?
49:40Seriously?
49:42Fake.
49:45After your husband broke the last one.
49:48Come on.
49:48Come on.
49:49I'm very sorry about that.
49:51That cost me a hundred grand.
49:53All right, I lost it.
49:55All right, I lost my job.
49:56I don't have anything left.
49:59Waiter, how about a bottle of that for every person here?
50:07My treat.
50:10Are you, uh, sure about that, Jason?
50:14I mean, it's a lot of people here and this is a very expensive bottle of wine.
50:19If you can afford them, anyone can.
50:24Wait, so you're saying you didn't send me a dream lovers necklace?
50:28A real one?
50:29Of course not.
50:30Do you have any idea how hard those are to find?
50:33I mean, who gives that kind of money?
50:34They can just pull out of thin air.
50:41All right, good luck.
50:45As a matter of fact, get two bottles for every person here.
50:51We're celebrating.
50:54Lily didn't know what to believe.
50:56Was Kevin really the person responsible for the dream lovers necklace?
50:59How could he possibly afford it?
51:02Where did he get that money from?
51:04Did she ever truly know her husband at all?
51:12Will Kevin finally tell Lily the truth?
51:14Can he build his empire and save his dying marriage?
