Short filmTranscript
00:00If you can re-knit Helena Andersen and Steven Andersen with the Andersen 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 you, son. I'm Jack.
00:21Helena's uncle.
00:24So, how did you two meet? What's your love story?
00:29Okay, things you need to know.
00:38I have a son named Steven. He'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.
00:51I'm sorry. You want me to go to a fucking nonsense dinner?
00:57Please, this is serious.
01:00Okay. Yeah, yeah. Maybe it'll be interesting.
01:04Okay. Long story short, this is their way of dragging me into family politics and guilt tripping me for past events.
01:10And I... I can't do it alone, okay? Not again.
01:16Okay.
01:20So, honey, babe?
01:22Either is fine. Just be professional.
01:24And remember, this is about avoiding their drama.
01:31Maybe you'll be a little less schlubby next time.
01:35You know, I think a lot of gratitude is in order, considering I'm here to assist.
01:39Oh, my apologies. I'm sorry for not introducing everyone sooner.
01:47This lovely lady is my wife, Melissa, our daughter, Ada, and...
01:52And I'm Joe. My husband, Hank, he's tied up at the shop tonight.
01:56We all do our part, Joe, even in small businesses.
02:00So, did you also stumble into a huge fortune?
02:06Helena has a type, you see.
02:08Uh, no. I'm more of a corporate type.
02:10I work at Empire Global Corporation.
02:13I'm an economic director.
02:24Empire's resilience is admirable.
02:26You've got a good eye, Helena.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Isn't Empire to have only an AI now?
02:32Yes, they're exploring other strategies.
02:34I'll let them speak.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Well, actually, we've always discussed everything.
02:41We're actually discussing the possibility of getting engaged.
02:47Oh, yes.
02:49Elliot and I, we're talking about getting engaged soon.
02:54Oh, my God. Congratulations.
02:57That's gross.
02:58Ada.
03:01Please, please don't mind.
03:03Ada tends to sweat the small stuff.
03:06Uh, Jack has considerable experience in artificial intelligence.
03:12Elliot's in finance. He's not in tech.
03:15It's a whole business at the end of the day.
03:18Will you excuse me? I need to use the restroom.
03:24Hey.
03:25I see you found yourself another sugar daddy.
03:29That was really quick. Do you have a warranty for this one?
03:31Move.
03:32What if I don't?
03:33Get out of there.
03:34What are you doing?
03:35Get away! Get away!
03:36Ow! Ow!
03:37Ow!
03:38Ow!
03:39I can't believe that's the family you've been dealing with.
03:41Just drop me on through the subway station.
03:42I can drive you home.
03:43It's really not necessary.
03:44I saved your neck twice tonight. I insist.
03:46Subway station. That's all.
03:47Thank you for tonight. But maybe next time. Tone down the hole.
03:50I can't believe that's the family you've been dealing with.
03:51I can't believe that's the family you've been dealing with.
03:52Just drop me on through the subway station.
03:53I can drive you home.
03:54It's really not necessary.
03:55I saved your neck twice tonight. I insist.
04:00Subway station. That's all.
04:04Thank you for tonight. But maybe next time. Tone down the hole.
04:16Millionaire act. Okay?
04:39Mr. Easton. Is there anything else needed for the service?
04:46Leslie, this is absolutely ridiculous. What kind of psycho would come up with this absurd service?
04:57It was Mr. Easton's idea. Your father, sir.
05:01Oh, I can't believe it. Both my clients have been complete nightmares.
05:05How is it going today?
05:07Well, let's just say it didn't end on a high note.
05:10Thank you for tonight. But maybe next time. Tone down the whole millionaire act. Okay?
05:20Hey, hey, hey. Okay. You hired me to be your boyfriend. Making it believable is just part of the job.
05:28And I appreciate the effort. But the whole Empire Group Corporation thing escalated things unnecessarily.
05:35Well, I had to sell it. They were getting very suspicious. And you know they were.
05:39I have to go.
05:50Hey, where'd you get that necklace?
05:52It's personal.
05:56Personal.
05:57How personal?
05:58How personal?
06:01Don't worry about it.
06:07Maybe you'll get that five star rating after all.
06:10Some damn service.
06:29Why does she have a necklace from the Anderson family?
06:40What a boyfriend.
07:04As you know, Tim's project is going well.
07:07And if this project fails, he could outpace you in the succession race.
07:12So no matter what, you have to handle this service.
07:15And ensure a top-notch rating.
07:18Ah, Jesus.
07:20There is still time to turn this around before she leaves a review.
07:31Just win the succession.
07:34Nothing else.
07:36Nothing else.
07:41Shit.
07:44No good news at all.
07:51No good news at all.
07:52No good news at all.
08:04No good news.
08:17Oh, this is Helena.
08:21Hello?
08:22Is everyone there?
08:24We're MARKING.
08:34Hi, this is Helena.
08:41Who's this?
08:43Hi, good morning.
08:45This is Elliot.
08:46Who?
08:47I think you have the wrong number.
08:49No, Helena, wait, wait.
08:50It's me from the rent-a-boyfriend service last night.
08:53You remember?
08:55Oh, right.
08:56Did you need something?
08:58I was just checking in with the service.
09:01Were you satisfied with how everything went?
09:05Sure, everything's fine.
09:07Just fine?
09:07Are there any improvements or feedback you would suggest?
09:11Nope, everything's good.
09:13Ten out of ten.
09:14Okay, your feedback means a lot to me,
09:17considering my job kind of depends on it.
09:20So maybe we can meet at a later date.
09:24You know, you're fine.
09:25Five stars, could you just...
09:27Could you just hold on a sec?
09:29Hello?
09:34Is anyone there?
09:36I'm sorry, I gotta go.
09:38Okay.
09:39Hey, are you okay?
09:41What's going on?
09:44Yeah, you're really hot.
09:46Okay, let me get you some medicine.
09:49I'll be right back.
09:51Hello?
09:51Hello?
09:54What a rude woman.
09:55Review submitted for Elliot.
10:02Terrible.
10:04What?
10:06Terrible?
10:07Oh, sorry, Elliot.
10:09Sorry.
10:10Leslie, get to my office.
10:28Leslie, get to my office.
10:32Leslie, get to my office.
10:33Leslie, get to my office.
10:33Leslie, get to my office.
10:35Leslie, get to my office.
10:35Leslie, get to my office.
10:40May 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. Find 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.
11:22Guy, keep 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 Ansham family business.
11:45Eventually, I'll need a successor for my legacy.
11:50And that person is Steven.
11:53Are 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 small space.
12:05Do 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'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.
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.
12:44Now get out of my home.
12:45You know, if you despise me so much,
12:48why do you always wear that Anderson 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.
13:14I want her complete background.
13:18So 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,
13:35why are you so interested in Helena Winslet's background?
13:38She had a necklace that looked like it belonged to the Anderson family.
13:44Well, 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.
14:00No!
14:05Jesus Christ!
14:14No, I don't think it's a big...
14:20I'm so sorry.
14:21I didn't see it.
14:22Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:23I didn't see it.
14:24Elliot!
14:25Um...
14:26Hi.
14:27Uh...
14:28Oh.
14:29Let me call you back.
14:30What are you doing here?
14:34Well, I could ask you the same thing.
14:41Excuse me.
14:42My ex-rential boyfriend.
14:45You're going for a job at Empire.
14:47It's none of your business.
14:49That's funny.
14:50I 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
15:04feedback you have about my service.
15:05Ugh.
15:06I get it.
15:07I'm sorry, okay?
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 days.
15:24No, thanks.
15:25No, really.
15:26It's on the house.
15:27Whatever 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...
15:40Uh...
15:43Guess what?
15:44You were right.
15:45I work in HR.
15:49You.
15:52You work in HR.
15:55Now why 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.
16:08Okay, before I go,
16:09you'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?
16:22And that's an order from your HR interviewer.
16:26Fine.
16:27I'll think about it.
16:29And I really gotta go.
16:31I'm trying to be on time.
16:33Well, good luck.
16:34I'll see you in there.
16:40What am I doing?
16:41This is crazy.
16:42Thank you so much for having me on my resume, and these are my renderings.
16:53Um, 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.
17:09Do you want me to get my message?
17:21Okay, let's get started, shall we?
17:25It says here you used to work at Next Day Studios.
17:29Why'd you leave?
17:39I 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.
18:02It says here in your file you're a single mother.
18:05Okay.
18:08Is that correct?
18:14Yes, 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?
18:40Maybe 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?
18:50I have been struggling and trying so hard to make this work,
18:54and 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.
19:04If I upset you, I apologize.
19:07I can make this right.
19:08Don't bother.
19:09Enjoy your day.
19:19I did ruin it.
19:24I 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.
19:46If I upset you, I apologize.
19:49I can make this right.
19:50Don't bother.
19:52Enjoy your day.
19:54I ruined everything.
19:58I'm warning you, Cameron.
19:59Stay out of our lives.
20:00Listen.
20:01Listen.
20:02I have every right to see my son.
20:03Whether you want to take me back or not, you have no right to keep him.
20:05in front of me.
20:06Go waste your winnings on whatever you like, but leave my son out of it.
20:07I don't want to take me back or not.
20:08You have no right to keep him from me.
20:09Go waste your winnings on whatever you like, but leave my son out of it.
20:10I don't want him to have a father who will teach him to gamble.
20:11I've changed, Helena.
20:12Just trust me.
20:13I can't trust a word you will say.
20:14I can't trust a word you have a son.
20:15I can't trust a word you have a son.
20:16I can't trust a word you have a son.
20:17I'm warning you, Cameron.
20:22Stay 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. Just trust me.
20:40I can't trust a word you say!
20:55Oh my god.
20:58That can't be right. Oh my god!
21:04Alright.
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.
21:30You chose a good spot for her, Leslie.
21:34Good luck on your first day.
21:36Sally, I'm one of the senior designers.
21:38I really appreciate you, Sally.
21:40Don't mention it.
21:42If you need anything, feel free to ask.
21:44Hi, Helena.
21:48I'm not Elliot Carter.
21:50I'm actually Coles Easton.
21:52The CEO.
21:54That doesn't work.
21:58Hey, Helena. So...
22:02About the other day...
22:04I...
22:06What's going on?
22:12Well, I've made some changes to the drafting scheme.
22:16But meeting this deadline that Joyce gave us with this workload might be impossible.
22:24What about the new hire? Can she assist?
22:26Helena?
22:27Yeah. Is there a problem?
22:28Yeah. Is there a problem?
22:30No. It's fine.
22:32I'll get her started.
22:38Hi there. So sorry to dump this on you on your first day, but this is top priority project for Mr. Easton, our boss.
22:46Got 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. I appreciate it.
23:16Oh, I'm so sorry.
23:38Excuse.
23:39I'm sorry.
23:46What are you doing here?
23:59Is everything okay, Mr. Easton?
24:02Yeah, it couldn't be better.
24:04Mr. Easton, don't you mean Mr. Chris?
24:07This is Mr. Easton, our CEO.
24:16It's okay. I'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.
24:50Did you know the boss beforehand?
24:54Um, not really. Just an acquaintance.
24:58Well, goodbye. I'm off. Can't be late for my date. I'll see you tomorrow.
25:04I'll see you tomorrow.
25:06See you.
25:15Fine.
25:21I just hope he's not the nightmare boss type.
25:34Hey, move.
25:44Need this done today? End of day at the latest.
25:48All of this by today?
25:50Any issues with that?
25:53Nope.
25:54You're the boss.
25:56A bit bossy though.
25:58It's part of the job.
26:04It's a lot.
26:06I know.
26:07And he can be demanding.
26:10You're doing great though.
26:12Here is the initial draft.
26:14It 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.
26:34Hello.
26:46Hello.
26:51Hello.
26:53Hello.
26:54Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Oh, my God.
27:04Are you working late, or were you just planning on spending the night here?
27:13Just finishing up some work, Mr. Coles Easton. Or should I say Mr. Elliot Carter?
27:19You 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.
27:32It's only me. Thank you.
27:49Anytime. That's why I'm here. To help lost employees after hours.
27:57That kid, weirdo.
27:59What was that?
28:00Nothing.
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?
28:17Good night, Mr. Carter.
28:22Good night.
28:30Hey!
28:38Need a ride?
28:39Helena, have you totally ruled out
28:55using the rent-a-boyfriend service again?
29:01What?
29:02I promise you, I'm not eccentric.
29:05It's just to deal with a business issue
29:07within our subsidiaries,
29:08and I just decided to take a more hands-on approach.
29:13Okay.
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?
29:27Does that make me special?
29:33Yeah.
29:33So, was all that extra work
29:39just a way to settle personal scores then?
29:44No, this project means a lot to me.
29:47I do genuinely believe you could contribute to it significantly.
29:51It seems pretty risky to put so much trust in a newcomer.
29:56How many you barely know?
29:59Yeah.
30:00Thanks for the advice.
30:03Maybe just consider I wanted to make sure you got home
30:06after working this late.
30:08Helen, 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.

31:06Night.
31:07Night.
31:07Night.
31:07What?
31:10How about joining me for the company party?
31:13Oh...
31:15Like...
31:17Um...
31:19My son and I, we haven't spent very much quality time together, and...
31:24I feel like he might need me.
31:27Convenient excuse.
31:29No, it...
31:32Actually...
31:34I...
31:35It's an order.
31:38It's not an order.
31:38Sorry.
31:39It's not an invite.
31:40It's not an invite.
31:42It's not an invite.
31:50Yeah.
31:51A good—
31:58I know…
32:37You 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 family.
33:00Helena 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.
33:42Your 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.
34:29Stephen needs me.
34:30No, he doesn't need creditors at the door or the police. Please just leave.
34:34Just trust me, Helena.
34:36All right? Do you know how happy Stephen would be to see me?
34:40I 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?
35:06We'll see you next time.
