Short filmTranscript
00:00If you can re-knit Helena Anderson and Steven Anderson with the Anderson family,
00:06he'll eliminate all of your debts.
00:09Plus, an additional amount of money that you can live the rest of your life off.
00:18It's a pleasure to meet your son.
00:20I'm Jack.
00:21Helena's uncle.
00:24So, how did you two meet?
00:26What's your love story?
00:28Okay, things you need to know.
00:38I have a son named Steven.
00:40He's 11.
00:41I work at Next Day, which is an interior design firm.
00:44And we're going to a family dinner.
00:47And to be more specific, it's my Uncle Jack's family dinner.
00:52I'm sorry.
00:54You want me to go to a fucking nonsense dinner?
00:56Please, this is serious.
01:00Okay.
01:01Yeah, yeah.
01:03It'll be interesting.
01:04Okay.
01:05Long story short, this is their way of dragging me into family politics and guilt-tripping me for past events.
01:10And I can't do it alone, okay?
01:15Not again.
01:17Okay.
01:20So, honey, babe?
01:22Either is fine.
01:23Just be professional.
01:24And remember, this is about avoiding their drama.
01:27And maybe you'll be a little less schlubby next time.
01:34You know, I think a little gratitude is in order, considering I'm here to assist.
01:38Oh, my apologies.
01:45I'm sorry for not introducing everyone sooner.
01:47This lovely lady is my wife, Melissa.
01:50Our daughter, Ada.
01:51And I'm Joe.
01:53My husband, Hank.
01:54He's tied up at the shop tonight.
01:56We all do our part, Joe.
01:58Even in small businesses.
02:00So, did you also stumble into a huge fortune?
02:06Alana has a type, you see.
02:08No, I'm more of a corporate type.
02:10I work at Empire Global Corporation.
02:20I'm an economic director.
02:24Empire's resilience is admirable.
02:26You've got a good eye, Helena.
02:27Isn't Empire to have only an AI now?
02:32Yes, they're exploring other strategies.
02:34I'll let them speak.
02:36Well, actually, we've always discussed everything.
02:42We're actually discussing the possibility of getting engaged.
02:47Oh, yes.
02:50Elliot and I, we're talking about getting engaged soon.
02:54Oh, my God.
02:55Congratulations.
02:57I hope that's gross.
02:58Ada.
03:02Please, please don't mind.
03:03Ada tends to sweat the small stuff.
03:08Jack has considerable experience in artificial intelligence.
03:13Elliot's in finance.
03:14He's not in tech.
03:16Small business at the end of the day.
03:21Will you excuse me?
03:23I need to use the restroom.
03:24Hey.
03:30I see you found yourself another sugar daddy.
03:33That was really quick.
03:34Do you have a warranty for this one?
03:35Move.
03:36What if I don't?
03:37Get out of there.
03:37What are you doing?
03:38Get away.
03:39Get away.
03:39Ow.
03:40Ow.
03:40Ow.
03:41Ow.
03:45I can't believe that's the family you've been dealing with.
03:49Please just drop me off at the subway station.
03:52I can drive you home.
03:53It's really not necessary.
03:55I saved your neck twice tonight.
04:00I insist.
04:02Subway station.
04:04That's all.
04:05Thank you for tonight.
04:14But maybe next time, tone down the whole millionaire act, okay?
04:18Mr. Easton, is there anything else needed for the service?
04:42Leslie, this is absolutely ridiculous.
04:54What kind of psycho would come up with this absurd service?
04:57It was Mr. Easton's idea.
05:00Your father, sir.
05:01Oh, I can't believe it.
05:02Both my clients have been complete nightmares.
05:05How is it going today?
05:08Well, let's just say it didn't end on a high note.
05:10Okay.
05:13Thank you for tonight.
05:15But maybe next time, tone down the whole millionaire act, okay?
05:21Hey, hey, hey.
05:24Okay.
05:24You hired me to be your boyfriend.
05:27Making it believable is just part of the job.
05:29And I appreciate the effort.
05:31But the whole Empire Group Corporation thing escalated things unnecessarily.
05:35Well, I had to sell it.
05:36They were getting very suspicious, and you know they were.
05:42I had to go.
05:50Hey, where'd you get that necklace?
05:52It's personal.
05:56How personal?
06:00Don't worry about it.
06:06Maybe you'll get that five-star rating after all.
06:10Some damn service.
06:23Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
06:31Okay.
06:31What a boyfriend.
07:01As you know, Tim's project is going well, and if this project fails, he could outpace
07:10you in the secession race.
07:13So no matter what, you have to handle this service and ensure a top-notch rating.
07:18Ah, Jesus.
07:21There is still time to turn this around before she leaves a review.
07:26Just win the secession, nothing else.
07:41Shit, no good news at all.
07:49Hello, this is Helena.
08:17Hello, is everyone there?
08:24Weird.
08:26Hi, this is Helena.
08:41Who's this?
08:43I think you have the wrong number.
08:48No, Helena, wait.
08:50It's me from the rent-a-boyfriend service last night.
08:53You remember?
08:54Oh, right.
08:55Did you need something?
08:57I was just checking in with the service.
09:01Were you satisfied with how everything went?
09:04Sure.
09:05Everything's fine.
09:06Just fine?
09:07Are there any improvements or feedback you would suggest?
09:11Nope.
09:12Everything's good.
09:13Ten out of ten.
09:14Okay.
09:15Your feedback means a lot to me, considering my job kind of depends on it.
09:20Okay.
09:21Maybe we can meet at a later date.
09:23You know, you're fine.
09:25Five stars.
09:26Could you just-
09:27Could you just hold on a sec?
09:30Hello?
09:32Is anyone there?
09:36I'm sorry.
09:37I gotta go.
09:38Okay.
09:39Hey!
09:40Are you okay?
09:41What's going on?
09:43Yeah.
09:45You're really hot.
09:46Okay.
09:47Let me get you some medicine.
09:49I'll be right back.
09:50Hello?
09:51What a rude woman.
09:55Review submitted for Elliot.
10:01Terrible.
10:02What?
10:03Terrible?
10:04Oh.
10:05Sorry, Elliot.
10:06Sorry.
10:07Oh.
10:08Oh.
10:09Oh.
10:10Oh.
10:11Oh.
10:12Oh.
10:13Oh.
10:14Oh.
10:15Oh.
10:16Oh.
10:17Oh.
10:20Oh.
10:21Oh.
10:22Oh.
10:23Oh.
10:24Oh.
10:25Oh.
10:26Oh.
10:27Oh.
10:28Oh.
10:29Oh.
10:30Oh.
10:31Oh.
10:32Oh.
10:33Oh.
10:34Oh.
10:35Oh.
10:36Oh.
10:37Oh.
10:38Oh.
10:39Oh.
10:40Oh.
10:41Oh.
10:42Oh.
10:43Oh.
10:44Oh.
10:45Oh.
10:46Oh.
10:47Oh.
10:48Oh.
10:49May I come in?
10:54He's grown so.
10:57Last time I saw him, he was just a baby.
11:00How touching.
11:10Heard about your job loss the next day.
11:13Find anything new?
11:15It's none of your concern.
11:17How about you come home?
11:18With Stephen.
11:20It's not a home for us.
11:23Got it.
11:26Keep tabs on Tim for me.
11:29Joyce is dissatisfied with our proposal for the dilapidated building.
11:32She's demanding a more detailed design plan before moving forward with the contract.
11:38Something feels off, Leslie. I don't know what it is.
11:41I've spent years expanding the Anjum family business.
11:45Eventually, I'll need a successor for my legacy.
11:51And that person is Stephen.
11:53Are you out of your mind?
11:55You know, if you care so for your son, you'd return to the family and not confine him to this small space.
12:04Do you understand, love?
12:06Do you understand, love?
12:07If you did, you wouldn't have abandoned my pregnant mother so that you could chase after your so-called family business.
12:15That was my mistake.
12:17And I spent years trying to correct that.
12:20She died because of you.
12:22Well, that is a serious accusation.
12:24Your mother passed away from illness.
12:28An illness that was a direct result of your consequences.
12:33An illness that was because of years of hardship.
12:39I will never forgive you for that.
12:43Now get out of my home.
12:45You know, if you despise me so much, why do you always wear that Anjum family necklace?
12:52The very one I gave to your mother.
12:56What?
12:59Also, there's the matter of the rent-a-boyfriend service.
13:02Some negative comments were made.
13:05You're referring to the negative feedback from Helena Winslet?
13:08Yeah.
13:09I want you to compile a comprehensive report on Helena Winslet.
13:12I want her complete background.
13:17So I found nothing out of the ordinary in Helena Winslet's background.
13:21She was raised by a single mother and who unfortunately passed away when she was 17 years old.
13:26And her father?
13:28His identity is still a mystery.
13:31Okay.
13:32Mr. Easton, may I ask, why are you so interested in Helena Winslet's background?
13:38She had a necklace that looked like it belonged to the Anderson family.
13:42Well, my research suggested no link between her and the Anderson family.
13:48That would be highly unlikely.
13:52Maybe it was just a knockoff.
13:54I'm just reading too much into it.
13:56I don't know.
13:58I'm just reading too much into it.
14:12No, I don't think it's a big...
14:20Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:22I didn't see it.
14:24Elliot.
14:26Hi.
14:27Oh, let me call you back.
14:29What are you doing here?
14:39Well, I could ask you the same thing.
14:41Excuse me, my ex-rential boyfriend.
14:45You're going for a job at Empire.
14:47It's none of your business.
14:49That's funny.
14:49I thought you were bragging that night with your complicated family.
14:53Great steak, by the way.
14:54Could you show a little respect to your ex-client?
14:57Don't be so rude.
14:59You know, after that negative comment you made, I'm very curious about the detailed feedback you have about my service.
15:06Oh, I get it.
15:07I'm sorry, okay?
15:08That bad review was an accident.
15:09I would have chosen excellent if I'd had a second chance.
15:13Well, there's a way to fix it.
15:16Just book my service again.
15:17I don't need that service.
15:20I have a free voucher from the company.
15:22Let me just send it to you and just book within the next couple days.
15:24No, thanks.
15:25No, really.
15:26It's on the house.
15:27Plus, I'll do whatever you want during my service.
15:31I'll think about it.
15:33What brings you here?
15:35Don't tell me you actually work for Empire.
15:38Well, guess what?
15:44You were right.
15:44I work in HR.
15:47Why would I lie to you?
15:57What about your rent-a-boyfriend gig?
16:00That's just a side hustle.
16:02It's for fun.
16:03Uh-huh.
16:07Okay, before I go, you're not actually going to be my interviewer, are you?
16:12It's me.
16:14Jesus.
16:15So you better be nice to your ex-boyfriend, then.
16:18Rent-a-l ex-boyfriend.
16:19Whatever.
16:20Just use the voucher in a couple of days, okay?
16:23And that's an order from your HR interviewer.
16:27Fine.
16:28I'll think about it.
16:30And I really gotta go.
16:32I'm trying to be on time.
16:33Well, good luck.
16:35I'll see you in there.
16:36What am I doing?
16:41This is crazy.
16:46Thank you so much for having me.
16:48Love me.
16:48And these are my renderings.
16:50Um, I thought there were going to be two interviewers.
16:57It's usually just me.
16:59Oh.
17:01I just spoke with Elliot, and he mentioned that he might be here too.
17:05And Elliot-
17:06Sorry, I'm late, everyone.
17:09Did you get my message?
17:10Okay, let's get started, shall we?
17:25It says here you used to work at Next Day Studios.
17:29Why'd you leave?
17:30I don't know.
17:40It says here in your file you're a single mother.
18:07Is that correct?
18:10Yes, sir.
18:15I have a son.
18:16How old is he?
18:17He's just over 11.
18:19Okay.
18:20He won't be holding back my work.
18:26Thank you so much.
18:29Aren't you going to say anything to your ex-boyfriend?
18:41Maybe ask me to help you get a job?
18:43What is your problem?
18:45Is this amusing to you?
18:47Humiliating me during this interview?
18:49Are you happy now?
18:50I have been struggling and trying so hard to make this work, and you just ruined everything.
18:58I'm sorry.
18:59I didn't mean to mock you.
19:00It was just a joke.
19:01Just a joke.
19:02Bringing up my son.
19:03If I upset you, I apologize.
19:07I can make this right.
19:08Don't bother.
19:10Enjoy your day.
19:10I did ruin it.
19:20I have been struggling and trying so hard to make this work.
19:36And you just ruined everything.
19:40I'm sorry.
19:41I didn't mean to mock you.
19:42It was just a joke.
19:43Just a joke.
19:44Bringing up my son.
19:47If I upset you, I apologize.
19:49I can make this right.
19:50Don't bother.
19:52Enjoy your day.
19:56I ruined everything.
20:06I'm warning you, Cameron.
20:23Stay out of our lives.
20:25Listen.
20:26I have every right to see my son.
20:28Whether you want to take me back or not, you have no right to keep him from me.
20:31Go waste your winnings on whatever you like, but leave my son out of it.
20:34I don't want him to have a father who will teach him to gamble.
20:37I've changed, Helena.
20:39Just trust me.
20:40I can't trust a word you say.
20:55Oh my God.
20:58That can't be right.
20:59Oh my God.
21:04You chose a good spot for her, Leslie.
21:32Good luck on your first day.
21:36Sally.
21:36I'm one of the senior designers.
21:38I really appreciate you, Sally.
21:39Don't mention it.
21:41If you need anything, feel free to ask.
21:43Please.
21:46Hi, Helena.
21:47I'm not Elliot Carter.
21:50I'm actually Coles Easton.
21:53The CEO.
21:57That doesn't work.
21:58Hey, Helena.
22:01So, about the other day, I...
22:05What's going on?
22:15Well, I've made some changes to the drafting scheme, but meeting this deadline that Joyce gave us with this workload might be impossible.
22:25What about the new hire?
22:26Can't she assist?
22:27Helena?
22:28Yeah.
22:28Is there a problem?
22:30No.
22:31It's fine.
22:32I'll get her started.
22:38Hi there.
22:39So sorry to dump this on you on your first day, but this is top priority project for Mr. Easton, our boss.
22:45Got it.
22:47It's a bit complex.
22:49It's a lot of information to sort through, but if you're comfortable with the software, we'd really appreciate your help getting started on the blueprints once you're done sorting through this.
22:58Sure.
22:59I'll handle it.
23:01Thanks.
23:01Appreciate it.
23:15Oh, I'm so sorry.
23:38Excuse me.
23:39I'm sorry.
23:40I'm sorry.
23:40What are you doing here?
23:58Is everything okay, Mr. Easton?
24:03Yeah, it couldn't be better.
24:05Mr. Easton, don't you mean Mr. Chris?
24:07This is Mr. Easton, our CEO.
24:09It's okay.
24:17I've got it.
24:23Sally?
24:32Oh, it's the damn CEO.
24:35Oh, it's the damn CEO.
24:37Looks like it's time to call it a day.
24:47Yeah, just a few more files left.
24:51Did you know the boss beforehand?
24:54Um, not really.
24:57Just an acquaintance.
24:58Hmm.
24:59Well, goodbye.
25:01I'm off.
25:02Can't be late for my date.
25:04I'll see you tomorrow.
25:04See you.
25:15Fine.
25:21I just hope he's not the nightmare boss type.
25:23Eh, move.
25:41Hey, move.
25:44Need this done today?
25:45End of day at the latest.
25:46All of this by today?
25:49Any issues with that?
25:51Nope. You're the boss.
25:54A bit bossy, though.
25:56That's part of the job.
26:05It's a lot. I know. And he can be demanding.
26:09You're doing great, though.
26:11Here is the initial draft.
26:14It just needs adjustments based on the client's latest feedback.
26:17And then I'll help you with the rest.
26:19Thank you, Sally. This is so helpful.
26:22We're a team here.
26:44Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?
26:59Oh, my God.
27:03Are you working late? Or were you just planning on spending the night here?
27:12Just finishing up some work, Mr. Coles Easton. Or should I say Mr. Elliot Carter?
27:20You know, no one gets locked in here unless they want to.
27:24Sometimes the solution's right in front of us.
27:30Like this little button.
27:33It's only me. Thank you.
27:48Anytime. That's why I'm here. To help lost employees after hours.
27:54What was that?
27:59Nothing.
28:00You know, it's very rude to talk behind your boss's back.
28:04Then you wouldn't want to lose a dedicated worker.
28:07Would you, Mr. Elliot Carter?
28:13I wouldn't. Would I?
28:15Good night, Mr. Carter.
28:21Good night.
28:24Hey.
28:36Need a ride?
28:39Helena, have you totally ruled out
28:55using the rent-a-boyfriend
28:57service again?
29:00What?
29:02I promise you, I'm not eccentric.
29:05It's just to deal with a business issue
29:07within our subsidiaries, and I just decided
29:09to take a more hands-on
29:11approach.
29:13Okay.
29:15I thought you had
29:16developed a peculiar hobby.
29:19Do I really come off like a creep?
29:21Because you're the first one to suggest that.
29:23Is that so?
29:27Does that make me special?
29:33Yeah.
29:36So,
29:37is all that extra work
29:39just a way to settle personal scores, then?
29:44Now I know this project means a lot to me.
29:47I do genuinely believe you could contribute to it significantly.
29:52It seems pretty risky
29:53to put so much trust in a newcomer.
29:56Something you barely know.
29:58Yeah.
30:00Thanks for the advice.
30:01maybe just consider
30:05I wanted to make sure
30:06you got home
30:06after working this late.
30:19Helen, I regret my behavior
30:20during the interview.
30:24I was about to say the same, actually.
30:29Okay.
30:30I should probably go.
30:30Okay.
30:31Yeah.
30:34Night.
31:04What?
31:10How about joining me for the company party?
31:13Oh, like...
31:17Um, my son and I, we haven't spent very much quality time together and I feel like he might need me.
31:27Convenient excuse.
31:29No, it...
31:32Actually, I...
31:35It's an order.
31:37It's not an invite.
31:39I can't wait.
31:51You can't wait.
32:26You know you just asked for permission to enter my office.
32:45I discovered something significant.
32:48Okay.
32:50Helena Winslet, or should I say Helena Anderson.
32:55Is the daughter of Thomas Anderson, the Anderson family.
33:03Helena Winslet, no.
33:05Anderson is the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Anderson.
33:11The powerhouse behind Titan Global Corp, our rival.
33:14Thank you, Sally.
33:23This is enough for now.
33:25Coles, I have to tell you it's an extreme risk to keep Helena Anderson at this company.
33:32She could be a plant by the Anderson family, a ploy to deter your pap to succession.
33:38She can't stay at this company any longer.
33:40Your father sent me here to help you win the succession.
33:47I'm saying this only for you, not only as your business partner, but also as a close friend
33:54who grew up together with you.
33:57Thank you, Sally.
34:01I need a moment alone.
34:13Dad!
34:13We're divorced.
34:24It's over, okay?
34:26Do you understand that?
34:27You can't just show up at our house.
34:29Stephen needs me.
34:30No, he doesn't need creditors at the door or the police.
34:33Please just leave.
34:34Just trust me, Helena.
34:37All right?
34:37Do you know how happy Stephen would be to see me?
34:39I promised Dad to teach him how to play the harmonica.
34:45Leave.
34:56Mom, I really want to play the harmonica with Dad.
35:02Okay, we'll think about that.
35:04You ready?
