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?
00:28What's your love story?
00:35Okay, 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...
01:11I can't do it alone, okay?
01:15Not again.
01:16Okay.
01:19So, honey, babe?
01:22Either is fine.
01:23Just be professional.
01:24And remember, this is about avoiding their drama.
01:31Maybe it'll be a little less schlubby next time.
01:34Sure.
01:35You know, I think a lot of 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...
01:52And 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?
02:06Helena 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 begin to speak.
02:36Yeah.
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.
03:30Hey.
03:31I 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.
04:11Thank you for tonight.
04:12But maybe next time, tone down the whole millionaire act, okay?
04:38Mr. 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.
05:10Thank 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.
05:38And you know they were.
05:49Okay, I have to go.
05:51Hey, where'd you get that necklace?
05:54It's personal.
05:57How personal?
05:58Don't worry about it.
06:07Maybe you'll get that five-star rating after all.
06:18Some damn service.
06:19Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
06:31Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
06:49What a boyfriend.
06:58What a boyfriend.
06:58Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
07:00Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
07:01Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
07:04As you know, Tim's project is going well.
07:07And if this project fails, he could outpace you in the secession race.
07:12So no matter what, you have to handle this service.
07:16And ensure a top-notch rating.
07:20Jesus.
07:20There is still time to turn this around before she leaves a review.
07:24Okay?
07:28I just win the succession.
07:35Nothing else.
07:40Shit.
07:43No good news at all.
07:50No good news at all.
07:58Hello, this is Helena.
08:19Hello, is everyone there?
08:26Hi, this is Helena.
08:40Who's this?
08:42Hi, good morning.
08:44This is Elliot.
08:46Who?
08:47I think you have the wrong number.
08:48No, Helena, wait, wait.
08:49It's me from the rent-a-boyfriend service last night.
08:53Do you remember?
08:54Oh, right.
08:56Did 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.
09:1310 out of 10.
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 and-
09:23You know, you're fine.
09:25Five stars.
09:26Could you just-
09:27Could you just hold on a sec?
09:31Hello?
09:33Is anyone there?
09:35I'm sorry.
09:36I gotta go.
09:37Okay.
09:38Hey!
09:39Are you okay?
09:40What's going on?
09:41Yeah.
09:42You're really hot.
09:43Okay.
09:44Let me get you some medicine.
09:45I'll be right back.
09:46Hello?
09:47What a rude woman.
09:48Review submitted for Elliot.
09:49Terrible.
09:50What?
09:51Terrible?
09:52Oh, sorry Elliot.
10:13Leslie, get to my office.
10:43May I come in, he's grown so.
10:57Last time I saw him, he was just a baby.
11:01How touching.
11:02Heard about your job loss the next day, find anything new?
11:15It's none of your concern.
11:17How about you come home, with Steven?
11:20It's not a home for us.
11:22Okay.
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.
11:39I don't know what it is.
11:41I've spent years expanding the Ansham family business.
11:46Eventually, I'll need a successor for my legacy.
11:52And that person is Steven.
11:54Are you out of your mind?
11:56No.
11:57If you care so for your son, you'd return to the family and not confine him to this
12:03small space.
12:04Do you understand, love?
12:09If you did, you wouldn't have abandoned my pregnant mother so that you could chase after
12:13your so-called family business.
12:15That was my mistake.
12:17And I've spent years trying to correct that.
12:21She died because of you.
12:23Well, that is a serious accusation.
12:25Your 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.
12:37I 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 Ansham family necklace?
12:51The very one I gave to your mother.
12:54What?
12:56Also, 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.
13:14I want her complete background.
13:18So I found nothing out of the ordinary in Helena Winslet's background.
13:22She was raised by a single mother who unfortunately passed away when she was 17 years old.
13:26And her father?
13:28His identity is still a mystery.
13:30Okay.
13:31Mr. Easton, may I ask, why are you so interested in Helena Winslet's background?
13:39She had a necklace that looked like it belonged to the Anderson family.
13:43Well, my research suggested no link between her and the Anderson family.
13:48That would be highly unlikely.
13:51Maybe it was just a knock-off and I'm just reading too much into it.
13:57No, I don't think it's a big, I'm so sorry I didn't see it.
14:19Elliot!
14:20Um...
14:21Hi.
14:22Uh...
14:23Oh, let me call you back.
14:24What are you doing here?
14:25Well, I could ask you the same thing.
14:26Excuse me, my ex-rential boyfriend.
14:29You're going for a job at Empire?
14:30It's none of your business.
14:31It's funny.
14:32I thought you were bragging that night with your complicated family.
14:35Great steak, by the way.
14:36Could you show a little respect to your ex-client?
14:37Don't be so rude.
14:38I don't know.
14:39I don't know.
14:40I don't know.
14:41I don't know.
14:42I don't know.
14:43I don't know.
14:44I don't know.
14:45I don't know.
14:46I don't know.
14:47I don't know.
14:48I don't know.
14:49I don't know.
14:50You know, after that negative comment you made, I'm very curious about the detailed
15:04feedback 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 had a second chance.
15:13Well, there's a way to fix it.
15:16Just book my service again.
15:18I 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 of 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, guess what?
15:43You were right.
15:44I work in HR.
15:46Why would I lie to you?
15:49What about your rent-a-boyfriend gig?
15:51That's just a side hustle.
15:53It's for fun.
15:54Uh-huh.
15:55Okay, before I go, you're not actually going to be my interviewer, are you?
15:59It's me.
16:00Jesus.
16:01So you better be nice to your ex-boyfriend then.
16:03Rental ex-boyfriend.
16:04Rental ex-boyfriend.
16:05Whatever.
16:06Just use the voucher in a couple of days, okay?
16:08And that's an order from your HR interviewer.
16:10Fine.
16:11I'll think about it.
16:12And I really gotta go.
16:13I'm trying to be on time.
16:14Well, good luck.
16:15I'm trying to be on time.
16:16I'm trying to be on time.
16:17I'm trying to be on time.
16:18I'm trying to be on time.
16:19What am I doing?
16:41Crazy.
16:46Thank you so much for having me on my resume
16:48and these are my renderings.
16:54I thought there were gonna be two interviewers.
16:57It's usually just me.
16:59Oh, I just spoke with Elliot
17:02and he mentioned that he might be here too.
17:05And Elliot-
17:06Sorry, I'm late everyone.
17:09Did you get my message?
17:11I don't know.
17:21Okay, let's get started, shall we?
17:25Says here you used to work at Next Day Studios.
17:29Why'd you leave?
17:41Shit.
17:46I was laid off.
17:49The studio hadn't been making a profit for six months.
17:53Understood.
17:56Well, your work experience is impressive.
17:59Oh, thank you.
18:02Says here in your file you're a single mother.
18:05Is that correct?
18:06Is that correct?
18:07Is that correct?
18:12Yes, sir.
18:13I have a son.
18:14How old is he?
18:15He's just over 11.
18:16Okay.
18:17He won't be holding back my work.
18:19Okay.
18:20He won't be holding back my work.
18:26Thank you so much.
18:38Aren't you gonna 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.
18:57I'm sorry.
18:58I didn't mean to mock you.
18:59It was just a joke.
19:00Just a joke.
19:02Bringing up my son.
19:04If I upset you, I apologize.
19:06I can make this right.
19:07Don't bother.
19:08Enjoy your day.
19:09I 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.
19:41I didn't mean to mock you.
19:42It was just a joke.
19:43Just a joke.
19:45Bringing up my son.
19:47If I upset you, I apologize.
19:49I can make this right.
19:50Don't bother.
19:52Enjoy your day.
19:57I ruined everything.
20:09I'm warning you, Cameron.
20:10Stay out of our lives.
20:12Listen.
20:13I have every right to see my son.
20:15Whether you want to take me back or not, you have no right to keep him from me.
20:30Go waste your winnings on whatever you like, but leave my son out of it.
20:33I 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!
20:42Oh my god.
20:43That can't be right.
20:44Oh my god.
20:45I hope you don't mind the traffic here.
20:46This is perfect.
20:48Of course.
20:49If you need anything, just let me know.
20:54Oh my god.
20:55I think I'm sorry, everyone.
20:57I can't trust a lot.
20:58That can't be right. Oh my god!
21:08I 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.
21:28You chose a good spot for her, Leslie.
21:34Good luck on your first day. Sally. I'm one of the senior designers.
21:38I really appreciate you, Sally. Don't mention it.
21:41If you need anything, feel free to ask.
21:46Hi, Elena. I'm not Elliot Carter.
21:50I'm actually Coles Easton.
21:53The CEO.
21:54That doesn't work.
22:00Hey, Helena. So...
22:02About the other day...
22:04I...
22:14What's going on?
22:15Well, I've made some changes to the drafting scheme.
22:19But...
22:20Meeting this deadline that Joyce gave us with this workload might be impossible.
22:25What about the new hire? Can she assist?
22:27Helena?
22:28Yeah. Is there a problem?
22:30No. It's fine.
22:32I'll get her started.
22:38Hi there.
22:39So sorry to dump this on you on your first day.
22:41But this is top priority project for Mr. Easton, our boss.
22:46Got it.
22:47It's a bit complex.
22:48It's a lot of information to sort through.
22:50But if you're comfortable with the software,
22:52we'd really appreciate your help getting started on the blueprints
22:55once you're done sorting through this.
22:58Sure.
23:00I'll handle it.
23:01Thanks. I appreciate it.
23:11And, we're gonna do it.
23:12Oh, I'm so sorry.
23:13Excuse...
23:14One...
23:15One...
23:16One...
23:17One...
23:18One...
23:19Two...
23:19Two...
23:20One...
23:21Two...
23:22One...
23:35One...
23:36One...
23:37One...
23:38One...
23:39One...
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?
24:07This is Mr. Easton, our CEO.
24:09It's okay, I've got it.
24:19Sally?
24:24Oh, it's the damn CEO.
24:34Oh, it's the damn CEO.
24:38Looks like it's time to call it a day.
24:46Just a few more files left.
24:50Did you know the boss beforehand?
24:54Um, not really.
24:56Just an acquaintance.
24:58Hmm.
24:59Well, goodbye.
25:00I'm off.
25:01Can't be late for my date.
25:03I'll see you tomorrow.
25:04See you.
25:06Fine.
25:08Fine.
25:09I just hope he's not the nightmare boss type.
25:24All right.
25:25Move.
25:26You need this done today.
25:32End of day at the latest.
25:36Hey, move.
25:44Need this done today?
25:45End of day at the latest.
25:47All of this by today?
25:50Any issues with that?
25:52Nope.
25:53You're the boss.
25:55Bossy, though.
25:57It's part of the job.
26:06It's a lot.
26:07I know.
26:08And he can be demanding.
26:10You're doing great, though.
26:12Here is the initial draft.
26:15It just needs adjustments based on the client's latest feedback.
26:18And then I'll help you with the rest.
26:20Thank you, Sally. This is so helpful.
26:23We're a team here.
26:36Hello?
26:39Hello?
26:41Hello?
26:43Hello?
26:45Oh, my God.
26:48Are you working late or...?
26:51No.
26:52No.
26:53No.
26:54No.
26:55No.
26:56No.
26:57No.
26:58No.
26:59No.
27:00No.
27:01No.
27:02No.
27:03No.
27:04No.
27:05No.
27:06Or were you just planning on spending the night here?
27:14Just finishing up some work, Mr. Coles Easton, or should I say Mr. Elliot Carter?
27:21You know, no one gets locked in here unless they want to.
27:25Sometimes the solution's right in front of us.
27:31Like this little button.
27:46Silly me. Thank you.
27:49Anytime. That's why I'm here. To help lost employees after hours.
27:56That kid, weirdo.
27:58What was that?
28:00You know, it's very rude to talk behind your boss's back.
28:05And you wouldn't want to lose a dedicated worker, would you, Mr. Elliot Carter?
28:14I wouldn't, would I?
28:16Good night, Mr. Carter.
28:21Good night.
28:30Hey!
28:31Need a ride?
28:32Hey!
28:33Need a ride?
28:35Hey!
28:36Need a ride?
28:37Hey!
28:38Need a ride?
28:40Hey!
28:41Hello!"
28:44Hello, a little girl.
28:48Hi!
28:49What?
28:50My name is
29:05It's just to deal with a business issue within our subsidiaries, and I just decided to take
29:10a more hands-on approach.
29:14Okay.
29:15I thought you had developed a peculiar hobby.
29:20Do 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.
29:35So, was all that extra work just 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.
29:52Seems pretty risky to put so much trust in a newcomer.
29:56Somebody you barely know.
29:59Yeah.
30:00Thanks for the advice.
30:01Maybe just consider, I wanted to make sure you got home after working so late.
30:19Helen, I regret my behavior during the interview.
30:24I was about to say the same, actually.
30:29Okay.
30:29I should probably go here.
30:34Good night.
30:43Good night.
30:48How about joining me
31:12for the company party?
31:14Oh, like
31:16Um
31:19My son and I
31:21we haven't spent very much
31:23quality time together
31:24and
31:24I feel like he might need me
31:27Convenient excuse
31:29No, it
31:30Actually
31:33I
31:35It's an order
31:36It's not an invite
31:46It's not an invite
32:16You know you just asked for permission to enter my office.
32:45I discovered something significant.
32:49Okay.
32:50Helena Winslet, or should I say Helena Anderson, is the daughter of Thomas Anderson, the Anderson
33:00family.
33:03Helena Winslet, no.
33:05Anderson is the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Anderson, the powerhouse behind Titan Global
33:13Corp, our rival.
33:15Thank 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.
33:33She 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.
33:43Your 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
33:55who grew up together with you.
34:00Thank you, Sally.
34:02I need a moment alone.
34:11Dad!
34:12We're divorced.
34:13It's over.
34:14Okay?
34:15Do you understand that?
34:16You can't just show up at our house.
34:20Steven needs me.
34:21No, he doesn't need creditors at the door or the police.
34:25Please just leave.
34:26Just trust me, Helena.
34:27All right?
34:28Do you know how happy Steven would be to see me?
34:30I promised Dad to teach him how to play the harmonica.
34:46Leave.
34:47Steven.
34:48Mom, I really want to play the harmonica with Dad.
35:00Okay.
35:02We'll think about that, are you ready?
