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.
04:05Thank you for tonight.
04:13But maybe next time, tone down the whole millionaire act, okay?
04:18Mr. Easton, is there anything else needed for the service?
04:42Mr. 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, and you know they were.
05:40I had 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?
06:31I don't know.
06:32I don't know.
06:33I don't know.
06:37I don't know.
06:38I don't know.
06:40I don't know.
06:41What a boyfriend.
07:04As you know, Tim's project is going well.
07:08And if this project fails, he could outpace you in the succession race.
07:13So no matter what, you have to handle this service.
07:16And 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 succession.
07:36Nothing else.
07:40Shit.
07:43No good news at all.
07:51No good news at all.
07:55Hello, this is Helena.
08:02Hello, is everyone there?
08:17Weird.
08:18Hi, this is Helena.
08:20Who's this?
08:21Hi, good morning.
08:23This is Elliot.
08:25Who?
08:26I think you have the wrong number.
08:32No, Helena, wait, wait.
08:33It's me from the rent-a-boyfriend service last night.
08:35You remember?
08:36Oh, right.
08:37Did you need something?
08:38I was just checking in with the service.
08:39Were you satisfied with how everything went?
08:40Sure, everything's fine.
08:41Just fine?
08:42Are there any improvements or feedback you would suggest?
08:44No, I'm sorry.

09:11Nope.

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 angstrom family business
11:45eventually i'll need a successor for my legacy
11:49and that person is stephen
11:53are you out of your mind
11:55no you care so for your son
11:59you'd return to the family and not confine him to this small space
12:04do you understand love
12:07if you did you wouldn't have abandoned my pregnant mother
12:12so that you could chase after your so-called family business
12:15that was my mistake
12:17and 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
12:28an illness that was a direct result of your consequences
12:32an illness that was because of years of hardship
12:37i will never forgive you for that
12:41now get out of my home
12:45you know if you despise me so much
12:47why do you always wear that angstrom family necklace
12:50with very one i gave to your mother
12:54what
12:57also 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
13:08i want you to compile a comprehensive report on helena winslet
13:12i want her complete background
13:15so i found nothing out of the ordinary in helena winslet's background
13:21she was raised by a single mother
13:23and who unfortunately passed away when she was 17 years old
13:26and her father
13:27his identity is still a mystery
13:29okay
13:31mr easton may i ask
13:34why are you so interested in helena winslet's background
13:37she 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
13:50maybe it was just a knock-off
13:54i'm just reading too much into it
13:56no i don't think it's a big
14:20i'm so sorry i didn't see it

27:06or were you just planning on spending the night here
27:11just finishing up some work mr. Coles Easton
27:17or should I say mr. Elliot Carter you know no one gets locked in here unless
27:24they want to sometimes the solutions right in front of us
27:30like this little button
27:34Silly me thank you anytime that's why I'm here to help lost employees after hours
27:54that kid weirdo what was that nothing you 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
28:11I wouldn't would I good night mr. Carter
28:19hey need a ride
28:39Helena have you totally ruled out using the rent a boyfriend service again
28:58I promise you I'm not eccentric it's it's just to deal with a business issue within
29:07our subsidiaries and I just decided to take a more hands-on approach
29:12okay I thought you had uh developed a peculiar hobby
29:19do I really come off like a creep because you're the first one to suggest that
29:23is that so does that make me special
29:32yeah
29:35so was all that extra work just a way to settle personal scores then
29:42now I know this project means a lot to me
29:47I do genuinely believe you could contribute to it significantly
29:51seems pretty risky to put so much trust in a newcomer
29:55something you barely know
29:57yeah
29:59thanks for the advice
30:01maybe just consider I wanted to make sure you got home
30:06after working so late
30:12you
30:19Helen I regret my behavior during the interview
30:24I was about to say the same actually
30:29okay
30:30I should probably go
30:32yeah
30:34night
30:42nice
30:44thanks
30:49all right
30:53I'm
30:54I'm
30:55I'm
30:56I'm
30:57I'm
30:59okay
31:00yes
31:01OK
31:02I'm
31:03you
31:04I'm
31:05you
31:06I'm
31:07What?
31:10How about joining me for the company party?
31:13Oh, like...
31:17Um...
31:20My 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 in life.
31:39It's not in life.
31:44It's not in life.
32:07It's not in life.
32:13I don't know.
32:43You know you just asked for permission to enter my office.
32:46I discovered something significant.
32:49Okay.
32:50Helena Winslet, or should I say Helena Anderson, is the daughter of Thomas Anderson, the Anderson family.
33:01Helena Winslet, no.
33:05Anderson is the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Anderson, the powerhouse behind Titan Global Corp, our rival.
33:14Thank you, Sally. This 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 who grew up together with you.
33:57Thank you, Sally. I need a moment alone.
34:13Dad!
34:13We're divorced. It's over, okay? Do you understand that? You can't just show up at our house.
34:29Steven needs me.
34:30No, he doesn't need creditors at the door or the police. Please just leave.
34:34Just trust me, Helena.
34:37Alright? Do you know how happy Steven 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.
35:01Okay, we'll think about that, alright?
