She Thought He Was a Poor Taxi Driver… He Was a Billionaire, but Why Was He Hiding His Identity?

Everyone here just thinks I’m a taxi driver. No one asks who I really am. Great. This had to happen today. This was the one night I wanted everything to go right. >> Excuse me. Is your taxi available? >> Yes. Picking up passengers is what I’m driving it for. Where would you like to go? home and please hurry a little  before my head explodes. Have you had a rough day? >> I missed out on a job opportunity. I’d been working toward it for months. >> That’s really disappointing.  Most people would tell me to forget about it and move on. >> Maybe you don’t need any advice tonight. Are you this quiet with all your passengers? Only the ones who ask good questions. All right, then tell me, who are you really? Just an ordinary guy who wants to stay out of the spotlight. >> You’re not like other drivers. >> Is that a good thing or a bad thing? >> I haven’t decided yet. Do you ever have days when everything goes wrong? Yeah, far more often than I’d like. Well, at least I’m not the only one. Do you enjoy driving people from one place to another all night? >> I like listening to people’s stories. >> So, you’re a psychologist just with a steering wheel in your hands? Okay, that was actually funny. >> Then I win this round. >> Don’t get used to winning.Thank you for listening to me. >> Everyone should have someone in their life who listens to them. You’re hiding something. Everyone’s hiding something. All right, then. What’s your rule? >> Don’t judge someone before you’ve heard their story. >> That’s a really good rule. I think that’s what I needed to hear tonight. Was it that bad? Probably the worst day of the year. >> Then don’t let one bad day define your whole year. Do you really believe that? >> I had to learn that.

Looks like we’re almost there. >> Yeah. Too bad we got here so quickly. Was your day so bad that now you don’t want to get out of my taxi? >> Thank you. Thank you. Anytime you need. >> I might need your taxi again. >> Well, now I know where to find you. Why am I still thinking about that taxi driver? >> Good morning. Need another ride? >> Maybe. You’re back so soon? >> I came to pick up a passenger nearby. Yeah, right. Now, tell me the real reason. Why are you here? >> Because I wanted to see if you had a smile on your face today. >> Want to get coffee? >> Are you asking me out on a date? >> Don’t get ahead of yourself. Take me somewhere nice. >> Think about it. You’re letting me choose the place. >> All right, let’s see where you take me. So, where are you taking me? >> You’re the one who said I should choose the place and not tell you beforehand. Yeah, I did. >> Wait, you brought me to a diner? >> They serve the best coffee in the city. >> That’s a pretty big claim. >> [bell] >> Good morning, sweetheart. Come on in. Thank you. Is he your friend? Just let’s say he’s a helpful stranger. Would you like some breakfast? >> Yes, please. Then you’ve come to the right place. Is everything okay? Yes. I just forgot I’m almost out of money in my wallet. It’s okay. We’ll figure something out. >> You came back in? >> I forgot something. >> Yeah, right. >> Please put her breakfast on my tab. >> You don’t even really know her. >> I know enough to know she’s hungry. >> You didn’t have to do that. Do you always help people like this? Not always. >> Only strangers. >> Sometimes strangers are the ones who need help the most. >> Careful. She’ll start thinking you’re a good man. >> Then my whole reputation will be ruined. >> It’s too late now. I already think you’re a good man. I told you not to call me here. Sir, the board has moved the meeting up. They can’t vote without you. >> Then move it back to the original time. >> Who was that on the phone? >> An old friend. >> The way you were talking, you sounded like his boss. >> Well, >> maybe I was wrong. About what? >> About you. You’re helping out around here as if you own the place. I wouldn’t dare even think that. >> That’s more like it. So, how did you end up here in this city driving a taxi? >> I wanted to change something in my life. >> What did you want to change? >> Everything. >> You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. >> Why do you care so much about me? >> I don’t know. I just do. Hey. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> What for? for not judging me before getting to know me. >> This came for you. >> For me? >> Yes. Someone was outside in a black car. The person who delivered it said it was for you. >> Is everything okay? >> Yes. There’s just something I need to take care of. >> You don’t look like it’s something minor. I’ll be fine.You don’t have to pretend with me. >> Pretend what? >> That nothing bothers you. >> I’m not used to anyone noticing when something’s bothering me. >> Do you really have to go? >> Not yet. >> Then what’s the rush? It’s something to do with work. >> That mysterious work of yours again. By the way, you’re getting pretty good at this. washing dishes at fitting in with everyone here. >> Maybe I am. You know, she’s starting to like you. >> Please. >> I’m just saying >> I don’t want to hurt her. Hey. >> Yes. >> Tell me honestly, are you okay? >> Honestly, no. >> Then don’t pretend you’re okay. Is it bad news? >> It’s something I I thought was over. Is someone in trouble? Maybe. >> You don’t have to tell me everything right now. >> Then why does it feel like you already know everything? >> Because when you’re scared, you can’t hide it at all. >> I’m not scared. You’re shaking. >> >> There’s something about me you don’t know. I had a feeling. >> Really? Everyone has something in their life they’re afraid to talk about. >> But mine could change everything. >> Then tell me when you’re ready. >> What if you don’t like the truth? >> Let me decide that. >> You make it sound so easy. >> Telling the truth is often easy. I need to make a call. >> The same person who called earlier? >> Yes. >> Go ahead then. >> Will you stay here? >> I’m right here. Listen to me carefully. Sir, we found him. >> Where? >> He’s already in the city. >> That’s impossible. >> What happened? >> I can’t explain all of this right now. >> Then tell me whatever you can. I think someone has found me. >> Is everything okay? Honestly, I don’t know myself. >> You don’t have to figure all of this out on your own. >> I’ve never known how to ask anyone for help. >> Then start with me. >> Are those the people? >> I don’t know. >> You do. Stay inside. >> Not if you’re going to put yourself in danger. You said you wanted a normal life. >> Yes, I did. >> Then let me help you protect that life. >> You shouldn’t have to do all this. >> Maybe I want to. >> I need to tell you something. >> Then tell me. The name I gave you isn’t my real name. >> That’s not your real name. >> I’ve been living under another name. >> Who are you really? >> A man who got tired of people wanting him only for his money. Then why did you come here? >> To find out if someone could love me even without my money. >> So did you find someone like that? So you knew who you really were this whole time? >> I knew who I was. I just didn’t know who I could trust. >> You could have told me. >> I was afraid you’d see my money before you got to know me. Then give me one reason to believe you. >> Because my feelings for you were never an act. >> Even when you were lying about your name? >> Even then. My feelings were completely real then, too. >> Was any of it real? Every moment I spent with you, >> working at the diner, driving the taxi, helping my mom, >> that was the most genuine part of my life. Sir, we have another major problem. What happened? The landlord is here. >> Who is he? the man who’s trying to take your family’s diner. The payment deadline is still Friday. That deadline is no longer necessary. What do you mean? Her entire debt has been paid off. This diner is hers for good. I don’t know how to thank you. >> You already have. >> By giving a stranger a chance. >> By seeing me as a person instead of seeing my money. >> Maybe that’s what mattered all along. It’s funny, once you understand what matters in life, money starts to mean more, too. And we got here by by wanting the best for each other.
