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.
06:19Some damn service.
06:28Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
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.
07:51No good news at all.
07:53Hello, this is Helena.
08:00Hello, is everyone there?
08:08Weird.
08:15Weird.
08:16Weird.
08:17Weird.
08:18Weird.
08:19Hi, this is Helena.
08:26Who's this?
08:27Hi.
08:28Good morning.
08:29This is Elliot.
08:33Who?
08:34I think you have the wrong number.
08:35No, Helena.
08:36Wait, wait.
08:37It's me from the rent-a-boyfriend service last night.
08:40You remember?
08:41Oh, right.
08:42Did you need something?
08:43I was just checking in with the service.
08:47Were you satisfied with how everything went?
08:48Sure, everything's fine.
08:49Just fine?
08:50Are there any improvements or feedback you would suggest?
08:54Nope, everything's good.
08:5510 out of 10.
08:56Okay, your feedback means a lot to me.
08:57Considering my job kinda depends on it.
08:58Okay.
08:59Maybe we can meet at a later date.
09:00You know, you're fine.
09:01Five stars.
09:02Could you just hold on a sec.
09:04Sure, everything's fine.
09:07Just fine? Are there any improvements or feedback you would suggest?
09:11Nope, everything's good. Ten out of ten.
09:14Okay, your 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 and just...
09:24You know, you're fine.
09:25Five stars. Could you just...
09:27Could you just hold on a sec?
09:32Hello?
09:32Is anyone there?
09:36I'm sorry, I gotta go. Okay.
09:39Hey, are you okay? What's going on?
09:44Yeah, you're really hot. Okay.
09:48Let me get you some medicine. I'll be right back.
09:51Hello?
09:54What a rude woman.
10:00Review submitted for Elliot.
10:02Terrible.
10:04What?
10:06Terrible?
10:07Oh, sorry, Elliot.
10:09Sorry, Elliot.
10:10Leslie, get to my office.
10:29Leslie, get to my office.
10:30May 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.
11:12Find anything new?
11:14It's none of your concern.
11:16How about you come home with Steven?
11:19It's not a home for us.
11:22Got it.
11:26Keep tabs on Tim for me.
11:28Joyce is dissatisfied with our proposal for the dilapidated building.
11:32She's demanding a more detailed design plan before moving forward with the contract.
11:36Something feels off, Leslie. I don't know what it is.
11:40I've spent years expanding the Angem family business.
11:44Eventually, I'll need a successor for my legacy.
11:50And that person is Steven.
11:52Are you out of your mind?
11:54No.
11:56If 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?
12:06If you did, you wouldn't have abandoned my pregnant mother so that you could chase after your so-called family business.
12:14That was my mistake.
12:16And I've spent years trying to correct that.
12:20She died because of you.
12:22That is a serious accusation.
12:24Your mother passed away from illness.
12:27An illness that was a direct result of your consequences.
12:32An illness that was because of years of hardship.
12:36I will never forgive you for that.
12:40Now get out of my home.
12:44You know if you despise me so much, why do you always wear that Anderson family necklace?
12:50The very one I gave to your mother.
12:54What?
12:56Also, there's the matter of the rent-a-boyfriend service.
13:01Some negative comments were made.
13:04You're referring to the negative feedback from Helena Winslet?
13:07Yeah.
13:08I want you to compile a comprehensive report on Helena Winslet.
13:12I want her complete background.
13:16So I found nothing out of the ordinary in Helena Winslet's background.
13:20She was raised by a single mother and who unfortunately passed away when she was 17 years old.
13:25And her father?
13:26His identity is still a mystery.
13:29Okay.
13:31Mr. Easton, may I ask, why are you so interested in Helena Winslet's background?
13:37She had a necklace that looked like it belonged to the Anderson family.
13:41Well, my research suggested no link between her and the Anderson family.
13:47That would be highly unlikely.
13:49Maybe it was just a knock-off.
13:53I'm just reading too much into it.
13:55No, I don't think it's a big, I'm so sorry. I didn't see it.
14:05Elliot.
14:06Hi.
14:07Oh, let me call you back.
14:08What are you doing here?
14:09Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:10Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:11I didn't see it.
14:12Elliot.
14:13Uh.
14:14Hi.
14:15Uh.
14:16Oh.
14:17Let me call you back.
14:18What are you doing here?
14:19Well, I could ask you the same thing.
14:20Excuse me.
14:21My ex-rential boyfriend.
14:22You're going for a job at Empire.
14:23It's none of your business.
14:24No, it's funny.
14:25I thought you were bragging that night with your complicated family.
14:26Great steak partner.
14:27Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:28I'm so sorry.
14:29I'm so sorry.
14:30I'm sorry.
14:31I'm sorry.
14:32I'm sorry.
14:33I'm sorry.
14:34I'm sorry.
14:35I'm sorry.
14:36I'm sorry.
14:37I'm sorry.
14:38I'm sorry.
14:39I'm sorry.
14:40I'm sorry.
14:41I'm sorry.
14:42My ex-rential boyfriend.
14:43You're going for a job at Empire.
14:46It's none of your business.
14:48That's funny.
14:49I thought you were bragging that night with your complicated family.
14:52Great steak, by the way.
14:53Could you show a little respect to your ex-client?
14:56Don't be so rude.
14:58You know, after that negative comment you made, I'm very curious about the detailed
15:03feedback you have about my service.
15:05I get it.
15:06I'm sorry.
15:07Okay.
15:08That bad review was an accident.
15:09I would have chosen excellent if I'd had a second chance.
15:12Well, there's a way to fix it.
15:15Just book my service again.
15:18I don't need that service.
15:20I have a free voucher from the company.
15:21Let 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.
15:30I'll think about it.
15:32What brings you here?
15:34Don't tell me you actually work for Empire.
15:37Well,
15:39guess what?
15:43You were right.
15:44I work in HR.
15:50You.
15:51You work in HR.
15:54Now, why would I lie to you?
15:56What about your rent-a-boyfriend gig?
15:58That's just a side hustle.
16:01It's for fun.
16:02Uh-huh.
16:03Okay, before I go, you're not actually going to be my interviewer, are you?
16:11It's me.
16:12Jesus.
16:13So you better be nice to your ex-boyfriend then.
16:17Rent-a-l ex-boyfriend.
16:18Whatever.
16:19Just use the voucher in a couple of days, okay?
16:22And that's an order from your HR interviewer.
16:26Fine.
16:27I'll think about it.
16:28I really gotta go.
16:30I'm trying to be on time.
16:32Well, good luck.
16:33I'll see you in there.
16:39What am I doing?
16:40This is crazy.
16:45Thank you so much for having me.
16:47And those are my renderings.
16:52Um, I thought there were going to be two interviewers.
16:56It's usually just me.
16:58Oh.
17:00I just spoke with Elliot and he mentioned that he might be here too.
17:04And Elliot-
17:05Sorry I'm late, everyone.
17:08Did you get my message?
17:20Okay, let's get started.
17:22Shall we?
17:23It says here he used to work at Next Day Studios.
17:28Why'd you leave?
17:42Shit.
17:46I was laid off.
17:48The studio hadn't been making a profit for six months.
17:51Understood.
17:56Well, your work experience is impressive.
17:59Oh, thank you.
18:01It says here in your file you're a single mother.
18:07Is that correct?
18:14Yes, sir. I have a son.
18:15How old is he?
18:16He's just over 11.
18:18Okay.
18:20He won't be holding back my work.
18:25Thank you so much.
18:28Aren't you going to say anything to your ex-boyfriend?
18:40Maybe ask me to help you get a job?
18:42What is your problem?
18:44Is this amusing to you?
18:46Humiliating me during this interview?
18:48Are you happy now?
18:49I have been struggling and trying so hard to make this work and you just ruined everything.
18:56I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mock you. It was just a joke.
19:00Just a joke.
19:02Bringing up my son.
19:04If I upset you, I apologize. I can make this right.
19:07Don't bother. Enjoy your day.
19:18I did ruin it.
19:19I did ruin it.
19:32I have been struggling and trying so hard to make this work and you just ruined everything.
19:40I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mock you. It was just a joke.
19:42It was just a joke.
19:43Just a joke. Bringing up my son.
19:46If I upset you, I apologize. I can make this right.
19:50Don't bother. Enjoy your day.
19:56I ruined everything.
20:12I'm warning you, Cameron. Stay out of our lives.
20:24Listen. I have every right to see my son. Whether 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. I don't want him to have a father who will teach him to gamble.
20:37I've changed, Helena. Just trust me.
20:39Trust me.
20:40I can't trust a word you say!
20:54Oh my god.
20:57That can't be right. Oh my god!
21:00I hope you don't mind the traffic here.
21:10This is perfect.
21:12Thank you. Of course.
21:14If you need anything, just let me know.
21:16Thank you so much.
21:17You chose a good spot for her, Leslie.
21:33Good luck on your first day.
21:35Sally. I'm one of the senior designers.
21:37I really appreciate you, Sally.
21:39Don't mention it.
21:40If you need anything, feel free to ask.
21:42Please.
21:45Hi, Helena.
21:47I'm not Elliot Carter.
21:50I'm actually Coles Easton.
21:52The CEO.
21:57That doesn't work.
22:00Hey, Helena.
22:01So, about the other day, I...
22:04I...
22:13What's going on?
22:15Well, I've made some changes to the drafting scheme.
22:19But meeting this deadline that Joyce gave us with this workload might be impossible.
22:24What about the new hire? Can't she assist?
22:26Helena?
22:27Yeah. Is there a problem?
22:29No. It's fine. I'll get her started.
22:32Hi there.
22:38So 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.
23:00I'll handle it.
23:01Thanks, appreciate it.
23:31Oh, I'm so sorry.
23:32What are you doing here?
23:33Is everything okay?
23:34Yeah.
23:35Oh, I'm so sorry.
23:36Oh!
23:37Oh, I'm so sorry.
23:38Excuse.
23:39I'm so sorry.
23:40What are you doing here?
23:59Is everything okay, Mr. Easton?
24:02Yeah, couldn't be better.
24:04Mr. Easton, don't you mean Mr. Chris?
24:06This is Mr. Easton, our CEO.
24:10It's okay, I've got it.
24:23Sally?
24:32Oh, it's the damn CEO.
24:35Oh, it's the damn CEO.
24:39Looks like it's time to call it a day.
24:46Yeah, just a few more files left.
24:51Did you know the boss beforehand?
24:54Um, not really.
24:56Just an acquaintance.
24:58Well, good luck.
25:00I'm off.
25:01Can't be late for my date.
25:03I'll see you tomorrow.
25:05See you.
25:14Fine.
25:16I just hope he's not the nightmare boss type.
25:23I'll see you tomorrow.
25:24I'll see you tomorrow.
25:25I'll see you tomorrow.
25:26I'll see you tomorrow.
25:27I'll see you tomorrow.
25:28I'll see you tomorrow.
25:29Hey, move.
25:30You need this done today?
25:31End of day at the latest.
25:32All of this, by today?
25:33There's no issues with that?
25:35No, you're the boss.
25:37Be bossy, though.
25:38It's part of the job.
25:39Hey, move.
25:43Need this done today?
25:45End of day at the latest.
25:47All of this by today?
25:49Any issues with that?
25:51Nope.
25:53You're the boss.
25:55A bit bossy, though.
25:57It's part of the job.
26:05It's a lot. I know.
26:07And 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.
26:37Hello?
26:38Hello?
26:39Hello?
26:40Hello?
26:41Hello?
26:42Oh, my God.
26:43Are you working late?
26:44Or were you just planning on spending the night here?
26:59Just finishing up some work, Mr. Coles Easton.
27:04Or should I say Mr. Elliott Carter?
27:06You know, no one gets locked in here unless they want to.
27:11Sometimes the solution's right in front of us.
27:14Oh, my God.
27:15Oh, my God.
27:16Oh, my God.
27:17Oh, my God.
27:18Oh, my God.
27:19Oh, my God.
27:20Oh, my God.
27:21Oh, my God.
27:22Oh, my God.
27:23Oh, my God.
27:24Oh, my God.
27:25Oh, my God.
27:28Oh, my God.
27:29Oh, my God.
27:31Oh, my God.
27:32Um, my God.
27:34Oh, my God.
27:41Oh, my God.
27:48Oh, my God.
27:49Oh, my God.
27:50Anyway, these are just...
27:52oh, my God.
27:53Oh, your God.
27:55Oh, my God.
27:56Oh, my God.
27:57So Buddy, практи.
27:58Oh, my God.
27:58What was that?
28:00Nothing.
28:02You know, it's very rude to talk behind your boss's back.
28:05And you wouldn't want to lose a dedicated worker,
28:08would you, Mr. Elliot Carter?
28:15I wouldn't, would I?
28:17Good night, Mr. Carter.
28:22Good night.
28:28Hey, need a ride?
28:53Helena, have you totally ruled out
28:56using the rent to boyfriend service again?
28:58What?
29:02I promise you, I'm not eccentric.
29:05It's just to deal with a business issue within our subsidiaries.
29:08And I just decided to take a more hands-on approach.
29:14Okay.
29:15I thought you had developed 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?
29:24Does that make me special?
29:33Yeah.
29:36So, was all that extra work just a way to settle personal scores then?
29:43Well, now I know this project means a lot to me.
29:48I do genuinely believe you could contribute to it significantly.
29:52Seems pretty risky to put so much trust in a newcomer.
29:56Something you barely know.
29:59Yeah.
30:00Thanks for the advice.
30:03Maybe just consider, I wanted to make sure you got home.
30:07After work, Mr. Elliot.
30:13Helen, I regret my behavior during the interview.
30:24I was about to say the same, actually.
30:29Okay.
30:30I should probably go.
30:31Yeah.
30:34Night.
30:34Night.
30:43Night.
31:08What?
31:11How about joining me for the company party?
31:13Oh, like, um, my son and I, we haven't spent very much quality time together, and I feel
31:25like he might need me.
31:28Convenient excuse.
31:30No, it's... actually, I...
31:36It's an order.
31:37It's not an invite.
31:43It's not an invite.
31:59Okay.
32:00Okay.
32:01Okay.
32:02Okay.
32:03Okay.
32:33You 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, is the daughter of Thomas Anderson, the Anderson
33:00family.
33:00Helena Winslet, no, Anderson, is the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Anderson, the powerhouse behind
33:12Titan Global Corp, our rival.
33:21Thank you, Sally.
33:23This is enough for now.
33:24Coles, 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
33:54friend who grew up together with you.
33:57Thank you, Sally.
34:01I need a moment alone.
34:13Dad!
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.
34:37Alright?
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, right?
