Transcript
00:00Stay away from my wife. I buy her expensive gifts, not you.
00:04Honestly, I feel bad for her. She'll never have anything nice with you around.
00:10I know what you're trying to do. It's not going to work.
00:12Hi, Bradley.
00:14Hi.
00:15Oh my gosh, so good to see you.
00:17You really are having a bad week. You called an Uber bike to get here?
00:21Oh no, this is my-
00:22You could have called me.
00:26Anyway, so glad I bumped into you.
00:28My heart aches for you and everything that's been happening with your company.
00:30Oh, thank you. That's so sweet.
00:33So sweet.
00:34So, I got you a little gift.
00:37What? You didn't have to do that.
00:39Yeah, Bradley, you really shouldn't.
00:42Oh, that's-
00:44Come on, let me put it on you.
00:46No, no, it's too much.
00:48I insist.
00:51At that moment, Kevin had murder in his eyes.
00:53I'll do it.
00:55Her husband will put it on her.
00:59Okay.
01:00Be careful with that. It's a Dreamlovers.
01:05No!
01:07Oops.
01:09What the hell, Kev?
01:11It's a fake. Dreamlovers nexus costs a small country's GDP,
01:15and there's only 10 of them in the entire world.
01:18So?
01:18How could you?
01:19It slipped.
01:20Bradley, you lied?
01:21I didn't lie to you.
01:22It's an exact replica. It cost me a hundred grand.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:27Now, I am so sorry, Bradley.
01:28So sorry, Bradley.
01:31I know how much you admired those necklaces, and you've been working so hard.
01:34I thought you deserved something special.
01:36Bradley, I'm sure this really was a mistake, right, Kev?
01:39What she deserves is a real one, not some douchebags and alcohol.
01:43Okay, whoa, whoa, stop.
01:46I need you to apologize to Bradley right now.
01:48Please, Kevin?
01:51Sorry, I broke the necklace.
01:57What was that?
01:59No, I didn't hear you.
02:04Please forgive me.
02:09Apology accepted.
02:11All right, I'm going to work.
02:14See you at the meeting?
02:22Get out of my way.
02:27You can't even afford a car.
02:29For their entire marriage, Kevin had searched for a way to tell Lily.
02:32He was actually the son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the entire country.
02:40You fool!
02:43You've wasted your entire inheritance!
02:46What?
02:47You're out of the family!
02:49Out?
02:53What the hell is a Ryan coin?
02:56Grandpa.
03:00I don't care.
03:01How could you say that?
03:04You're always so mean to him.
03:05It's because I care about you, Lil.
03:07You're a boss, and Kevin, no offense, is an absolute bum.
03:13He's like the before picture of an Ambien commercial.
03:16Oh my god!
03:17Seriously, why do you stay with him?
03:25He wasn't always like this.
03:27When we first met, he was confident and charming, and I don't know what happened,
03:33but I just feel like if I stay with him long enough, he might actually find himself again.
03:40I really love the man that he used to be.
03:43But do you love the guy he is right now?
03:48Ugh.
03:54Hello?
03:54Dude, you're rich!
03:57I'm what?
03:58Bro, check your old crypto wallet.
04:00A Ryan coin is off the charts.
04:02I told you it was a good idea to invest.
04:04How much did you make?
04:05The number was too high for his digital wallet to even calculate.
04:08Kevin was now the richest man in the city, maybe even the world.
04:11But Lily didn't know that yet.
04:12He's just been so closed off lately, and the romance is gone.
04:17And if he could just find himself again, be the man that I knew him to be,
04:21the man that I know he can be.
04:24You could be with any man you want.
04:25You shouldn't stay with someone out of pity.
04:28I don't want to talk about this anymore.
04:30I just spent my whole day putting out fires at work.
04:32We got a new contract last month, and there was an error in some of the data.
04:38And now we owe the client seven million dollars.
04:42Someone offered to step in and give us the three,
04:44but I still need to find the other four million by the end of the week.
04:48Or the whole company goes out of business.
04:50Oh my god.
04:52How are you gonna find four million dollars in one week?
04:55Kevin wanted to tell Lily that he'd just recently come into some cash.
04:59I don't know what I'm gonna do.
05:06What?
05:08I don't know.
05:10Just the tragedy of a queen like her being chained to a guy like you.
05:15Kevin was more resolved than ever to become the man Lily wanted him to be.
05:19But before he could take care of Bradley, he had to pay a visit to someone from his past.
05:26Williams Manor.
05:28Home sweet home.
05:33Kevin, my grandchild.
05:36Let's skip the formalities, shall we?
05:40I can see you've been enjoying your sabbatical.
05:42Sabbatical?
05:43Is that what you call disowning your grandson?
05:46Let's not dwell on events of the past, shall we?
05:49Please have a seat.
05:51I thought about it, and I'll hear you out on two conditions.
05:55Number one, by six o'clock this evening, you will get me an authentic dream lover's necklace.
06:03Dream lover?
06:03Dream lover?
06:08I don't care how.
06:09I just want to deliver it to my wife in secret.
06:11And number two, you're gonna fire one of your board members.
06:15Bradley something.
06:17Mr. Williams was surprised at how much he liked this side of Kevin.
06:21Consider it done.
06:28Your demands have been met.
06:30Now make the call.
06:31You will help us, won't you?
06:33You really think I have eight billion dollars?
06:34Don't play dumb.
06:36Just 20% of the stock you own is currently worth 9.6 billion dollars.
06:41A number that is rising as we speak.
06:45I'll let you have Williams Media.
06:47The largest and most successful entertainment company in America.
06:51Think of all the celebrities we've signed.
06:54All that influence that will be loyal to your name.
06:58You'll start tomorrow as the chief executive in charge.
07:01You will have a company and a purpose.
07:05What say you?
07:14I was told to wait here until I could personally deliver this to you.
07:27Well, what is it?
07:28What's so shocking?
07:31Is this...
07:33The genuine article?
07:35A dream lovers.
07:37Whoever your admirer is, they're very generous.
07:41You have to try it out.
07:44Was she dreaming?
07:45Who exactly gave it to her?
07:47Could it have been Bradley Smith?
08:00What are you doing?
08:03Sitting with my family.
08:04Well, find another seat.
08:05That seat is reserved for Miss Anderson.
08:09Who?
08:10You don't even know who she is.
08:12Miss Phoebe Anderson is a prominent member of one of the city's top families.
08:18Hello.
08:20Now, if you don't mind...
08:22Oh, I do.
08:24I mind.
08:25No offense.
08:27How dare you?
08:28You are offending grandmother's honored guest.
08:31No, really.
08:32I can just find another seat.
08:33Nonsense.
08:34I will not have it.
08:37You heard the lady.
08:39Don't push this.
08:40Not today.
08:58Trouble in paradise?
09:05Yes, well, enjoy your meal.
09:08Thanks.
09:12Phoebe Anderson.
09:14Lily Jones-Williams.
09:17Good to meet you.
09:18Oh, I'm sorry, but I have to ask.
09:20That is an authentic dream lovers, isn't it?
09:23Oh, I'm afraid it's just a very good replica.
09:27Oh, at least that's what Jason says.
09:29Trust me, darling.
09:30I've been longing for a dream lovers on my own for a very long time.
09:34And that is the real deal.
09:39But that would mean Bradley.
09:42Oh, my friend gave this to me as a gift.
09:45Well, then you're just gonna have to give me his number so I can find out how he procured one.
09:50They're quite rare after all.
09:51She can do better than that.
09:53You can call him right now.
09:56Yeah, sure.
09:58Oh, that'd be great.
10:07Hey.
10:08Hello, Lily.
10:10I was sorry to hear about you losing your job.
10:12Yeah, I've seen better days.
10:17Yeah, listen, I'm calling about the dream lovers necklace you sent me.
10:22Well, a friend of mine wanted to see if she could get one of her own.
10:26And I was wondering if you could tell me how you were able to...
10:29Wait, you're calling me because you want another fake necklace?
10:34Seriously?
10:37Fake.
10:39After your husband broke the last one.
10:41You want to talk to your mother?
10:43I'm very sorry about that.
10:45That cost me a hundred grand.
10:47All right, I lost my job.
10:49I lost my job.
10:50I don't have anything left.
10:52Wait, so you're saying you didn't send me a dream lovers necklace?
10:56A real one?
10:57Of course not.
10:59You have any idea how hard those are to find?
11:01I mean, who gives that kind of money?
11:03They can just pull out of thin air, right?
11:05Good luck.
11:08Lily didn't know what to believe.
11:09Was Kevin really the person responsible for the dream lovers necklace?
11:13How could he possibly afford it?
11:16Where did he get that money from?
11:18Did she ever truly know her husband at all?
11:24Will Kevin ever tell Lily the truth behind his newfound money?
11:27Will Lily accept the truth?
11:29Or will it destroy his marriage with Lily?
