00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allenton. I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.

00:00:10Hey, Grandpa.

00:00:14It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe women.

00:00:20But to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind date, that's low.

00:00:30Let's hope this one's different.

00:00:32I don't even know what to say to this guy.

00:00:35I don't know how to talk to rich people.

00:00:38Be sexy.

00:00:39Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.

00:00:43And being sexy is easy.

00:00:46Bite your lip, push up the girls.

00:00:48It works every time.

00:00:50Wait, but what girls?

00:00:51And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.

00:00:55So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.

00:00:57I don't think I can do this.

00:01:01The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.

00:01:07It's your call.

00:01:08You know what you get there.

00:01:09It's your call.

00:01:39Are you gonna stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?

00:01:42Of course.

00:01:50Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.

00:01:57You're so...

00:01:58Rich?

00:02:00Sexy?

00:02:01Frankly, yes.

00:02:04Sorry, what was your name?

00:02:08Valentina Kingsley.

00:02:10And you are?

00:02:11Blaine Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.

00:02:15And this is a successful company?

00:02:18It's not ringing any bells.

00:02:21Waiter?

00:02:23Yes, Mr. Ellington.

00:02:24You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?

00:02:28Yes, of course.

00:02:29If so, we'll have two bottles.

00:02:32It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.

00:02:35You want two?

00:02:36Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.

00:02:39Better bring three.

00:02:42Yes, of course, right away, sir.

00:02:48And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?

00:02:54I invest.

00:02:56In what?

00:02:57In everything.

00:03:00What am I not investing in?

00:03:03Businesses.

00:03:05Charities.

00:03:07I see.

00:03:09And you live in the city?

00:03:11The city.

00:03:13The hills.

00:03:15My yacht.

00:03:18My private island.

00:03:20I'm everywhere, darling.

00:03:22You're so impressive.

00:03:25So unlike the other girls I've seen.

00:03:29Hmm.

00:03:29Doesn't surprise me.

00:03:31I'm one of a kind, darling.

00:03:36Um.

00:03:38You've got a little, uh...

00:03:50Kurt?

00:03:51Kurt?

00:03:52What's my manager doing here?

00:03:56Blaine.

00:03:56My business dinner just ended.

00:04:00The presentation for the China branch.

00:04:02Looking good.

00:04:02Amazing.

00:04:03You're the best, Kurt.

00:04:04Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.

00:04:06Just wanted to say hi.

00:04:09Rose petals for a business dinner?

00:04:10Ended up being a blind date.

00:04:12Ah, classic.

00:04:13All right, well, you two have fun.

00:04:22I've got to be honest with you.

00:04:25You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.

00:04:29Would you like to come to my place?

00:04:31I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.

00:04:34Absolutely, darling.

00:04:42Whoa.

00:04:43Welcome to my home.

00:04:47After you.

00:05:04Oh, my.

00:05:05You like what you see?

00:05:19You're getting there, darling.

00:05:21Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...

00:05:24Well, then.

00:05:25Shall we get started?

00:05:29Uh, not so fast.

00:05:31Okay.

00:05:33A little foreplay?

00:05:35I did not think this through at all.

00:05:37How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?

00:05:40Looking for something?

00:05:47Oh, um...

00:05:48Ah.

00:05:52I should have known that was your style.

00:05:53Oh, yes, darling.

00:05:56I can't believe people are actually into this.

00:06:02I'm kind of used to being the one tied up.

00:06:04It's usually the other way around.

00:06:11Valentina?

00:06:11Patience, darling.

00:06:14I'm building the suspense.

00:06:17Ah, I see.

00:06:19Where could it be?

00:06:20Right.

00:06:21And you say guys actually like this?

00:06:24Oh, yes.

00:06:25It's very popular with the manly men in France.

00:06:29How long does it take for something to actually happen?

00:06:39That's...

00:06:39That's new.

00:06:43The painting!

00:06:44Maybe there's a safe behind there.

00:06:46Oh, uh...

00:06:48Sorry, this painting caught my eye.

00:06:51It looks exactly like...

00:06:52The one in my mansion in Sweden.

00:06:56It's where I keep my safe.

00:06:57People actually still hide things behind paintings?

00:07:02Thought that was only in the movies.

00:07:05Oh, no.

00:07:05It's quite popular.

00:07:08Where do you hide your luxurious safekeepings?

00:07:12In a super, super, super secret hiding place.

00:07:16Oh, come on.

00:07:19Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?

00:07:24Oh, uh...

00:07:24Most unfortunate, I'm...

00:07:26I'm getting the utmost important business call, and I must take it.

00:07:31Right now?

00:07:32What?

00:07:33What about me?

00:07:35Valentina!

00:07:38Wait!

00:07:40Untie me!

00:07:41Ew.

00:07:49Really, Blaine?

00:07:51What?

00:07:52But you and your models.

00:07:56Last night was not a model.

00:07:58I was actually impressed.

00:08:01Did I hear it right?

00:08:03Blaine actually had a date he liked.

00:08:06It was fantastic.

00:08:07The other girls, they're so boring.

00:08:10But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.

00:08:14I must see her again.

00:08:16Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.

00:08:20It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.

00:08:22Okay.

00:08:27Grandfather.

00:08:27Mm-hmm?

00:08:28Listen to him.

00:08:29He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.

00:08:31I am much more qualified.

00:08:33Oh, yeah.

00:08:35I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.

00:08:37Mm-hmm.

00:08:38No, no, no, no, no.

00:08:40Look, you do great work right where you are.

00:08:43Right?

00:08:43Yeah, you...

00:08:44You weren't meant to be some CEO.

00:08:46No, but Blaine...

00:08:48Blaine will learn in time.

00:08:50Whatever.

00:08:52Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.

00:08:55I have actual work to attend to.

00:08:58Oh.

00:09:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:02Thanks.

00:09:09Hello?

00:09:10How's our plan going, darling?

00:09:14To perfection.

00:09:17She already has Blaine wrapped around her finger.

00:09:19It won't be long until he flips up, and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.

00:09:26Brilliant.

00:09:27It's all coming together perfectly.

00:09:30And the VR tech you're developing, it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?

00:09:34Oh, yes.

00:09:35It'll be ready.

00:09:36Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.

00:09:39What's he doing here?

00:09:55Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.

00:10:00Sorry.

00:10:01I'm fine.

00:10:04Ariel.

00:10:04How does he know my name?

00:10:07You dropped your badge.

00:10:15There you go.

00:10:16Thanks.

00:10:24She's amazing.

00:10:27Are you playing hide-and-seek?

00:10:29Is that where you were late?

00:10:30Can I hide next?

00:10:31No, I was dropping your mom off at the hospital.

00:10:34Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.

00:10:36Wait, oh my God, is she okay?

00:10:38Should I bring her a fruit basket?

00:10:39She's just getting some tests done.

00:10:41Oh, thank goodness.

00:10:43Hey, by the way, did you hear?

00:10:45Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.

00:10:48Are you going to apply?

00:10:48I'm good where I am.

00:10:50But all the girls are applying.

00:10:51Everyone wants to get close to our boss.

00:10:53You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.

00:10:55I think this position is yours.

00:10:56He's gorgeous.

00:11:10I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.

00:11:14Attention, everyone.

00:11:16My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.

00:11:19I will try my best to live up to my father, but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.

00:11:27And since he is adjusting to this new role, I've decided to assign him a new assistant.

00:11:33Not me, not me, not me.

00:11:35Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.

00:11:38All right, everyone, back to work.

00:11:52You look exactly like...

00:11:56Oh, my God, my cover's blown.

00:11:57Kurt described.

00:12:07Clean, organized desk, confident composure.

00:12:12There'd be a pay raise, of course.

00:12:15This could get me closer to finding the code.

00:12:18When do I start?

00:12:20Perfect.

00:12:21First thing I need help with, there's this file.

00:12:24Oh, um, gotta take a phone call.

00:12:27Send it to me in an email.

00:12:31Ariel, he wants to meet you again.

00:12:34Really?

00:12:36Also, I got you a second number.

00:12:38Just click the link to connect it, so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.

00:12:43Great.

00:12:49New number, huh?

00:12:54Hello?

00:12:59Hello, Ariel.

00:13:00This is Dr. Westphal.

00:13:01We just got your mother's results.

00:13:07It's not what we hoped.

00:13:09So we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.

00:13:14Okay, I understand.

00:13:16I'll come up with the money for it soon.

00:13:24Oh, perfect timing.

00:13:28I just finished dinner.

00:13:30Mom, you should be in bed.

00:13:32Honey, I'm fine.

00:13:33Besides, you've been working all day.

00:13:35You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.

00:13:37Mom, please.

00:13:38Honey, sit down.

00:13:39The doctor called?

00:13:51He says it's gotten worse.

00:13:52No, hush, hush, hush, hush.

00:13:54Hush.

00:13:54None of that talk, okay?

00:13:57Mom.

00:13:58Eat before your food gets cold.

00:14:00Okay.

00:14:00I'll be right back.

00:14:16It's time for the second date, darling.

00:14:18Are you ready?

00:14:21Yeah.

00:14:24Mom, I have to leave for work.

00:14:26I'll make it to go.

00:14:27Oh, where am I?

00:14:52Valentina.

00:14:54Blaine.

00:14:56Darling.

00:14:57What is this dreadful place?

00:14:59Do you intend to have me killed?

00:15:00No, not at all.

00:15:02This place is special.

00:15:04Follow me.

00:15:17Hi, Maura.

00:15:18We're almost there.

00:15:19Come on.

00:15:20Wow.

00:15:26Come on.

00:15:35Wow.

00:15:36Look at this.

00:15:37Look at this.

00:15:37Would you look at that view?

00:15:53I bet you bring all your models up here.

00:15:55Just you, actually.

00:15:57I discovered this place after my father died.

00:16:02Your father died?

00:16:03Yeah.

00:16:04I've been thrown into the CEO position, and I'm a bit in over my head,

00:16:11so I never really get a chance to myself except when I come here.

00:16:18I'm so sorry.

00:16:25My mom is sick.

00:16:30She needs experimental surgery.

00:16:34It's like how it feels to want to get away.

00:16:40Yeah.

00:16:43I'm used to getting everything,

00:16:45but this is one thing that money can't buy.

00:16:50So sorry about your mom.

00:16:52Thanks.

00:16:52She's all I've got.

00:16:58I don't want to say goodbye to her.

00:17:09Hey, who's out here?

00:17:10What's happening?

00:17:20Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.

00:17:22What?

00:17:22Run.

00:17:31Hey!

00:17:33Yo!

00:17:34What was that?

00:17:41That was fun.

00:17:43Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?

00:17:46No.

00:17:46I suppose not.

00:17:47I haven't felt this way in a really long time.

00:17:54I feel like I can be myself around you.

00:17:58You feel the same way?

00:18:01Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?

00:18:03That's right.

00:18:03I'm supposed to be Valentina.

00:18:05I can't do this to him.

00:18:06But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.

00:18:17I'd love to.

00:18:22Well, well, well.

00:18:25Martina, what are you doing here?

00:18:27I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.

00:18:32Had to see it for myself.

00:18:33Well, that blind date went so well the other night, it got me thinking, maybe grandfather

00:18:39was right.

00:18:40Is that so?

00:18:42Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?

00:18:44That's right.

00:18:45Wow.

00:18:46What's she like?

00:18:47She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.

00:18:54She's the whole package.

00:18:56Sounds like one that dad actually would have approved of.

00:18:59I'd love to meet her.

00:19:03Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington.

00:19:08Is this about time?

00:19:09No, not at all.

00:19:10My sister just came to visit.

00:19:12Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.

00:19:15Martina, nice to meet you.

00:19:17Likewise.

00:19:18Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.

00:19:22Don't you worry.

00:19:23I got this.

00:19:24Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati, I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new

00:19:28AI tech that we need.

00:19:30I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati.

00:19:32And don't you worry.

00:19:33I've got the codes right here on this drive.

00:19:37And I'm keeping it safe.

00:19:38Glad to hear you're doing that.

00:19:53I have wasted enough time.

00:19:57Now you know exactly where it is.

00:19:59Get it.

00:20:08All right, where's that drive?

00:20:26Are you kidding?

00:20:27There's nothing in here.

00:20:28They're coming in.

00:20:42Crap.

00:20:44How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?

00:20:48You know, twist my arm.

00:20:53You know, twist my arm.

00:20:56No, no, no.

00:20:58Oh, yeah.

00:21:08Hey, Sarah.

00:21:09Cheers.

00:21:10Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?

00:21:15Right.

00:21:16Right.

00:21:16After that.

00:21:17Yeah.

00:21:26Whew.

00:21:27That was close.

00:21:28Hey, girlfriend.

00:21:34Can I ask your advice on something?

00:21:36Sure.

00:21:37What's going on?

00:21:38So I have this friend who is having boy problems.

00:21:42Aren't we all?

00:21:42So she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole

00:21:47workplace relationship thing.

00:21:48How did she find out I like Blaine?

00:21:51Wait.

00:21:51I don't like Blaine.

00:21:52But he deserves to know, though, right?

00:21:54You're going to tell him?

00:21:56I mean, I don't know.

00:21:57Because what if I tell Kurt I like him, and he doesn't like me, and then it's so totally

00:22:01awkward, and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.

00:22:04Wait.

00:22:04You like Kurt?

00:22:05I got to go.

00:22:08What?

00:22:08Ring, ring.

00:22:09Oh, I'm getting a call.

00:22:12Ring, ring.

00:22:13Ring, ring.

00:22:14Ring, ring.

00:22:15Ring, ring.

00:22:16Ring, ring.

00:22:18Ariel.

00:22:20Yes, Mr. Ellington?

00:22:23I need your personal help.

00:22:25Well, I am your personal assistant.

00:22:37I've never gotten a girl a gift.

00:22:40Wow, really?

00:22:41Um, I mean, yeah, first girlfriend, first gift.

00:22:46Checks out.

00:22:47So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.

00:22:55Oh, my God, I'm going to be wearing that?

00:23:06Sorry?

00:23:07Uh, your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?

00:23:10Yeah.

00:23:11It's pretty nice, right?

00:23:13Well, I mean, it's option one.

00:23:16Do you think she'll like it?

00:23:18Um, well, what's her girlfriend like?

00:23:21What are her tastes?

00:23:24Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.

00:23:29The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.

00:23:35I see.

00:23:40So, keep that in mind.

00:23:43Option two.

00:23:44And that's even more revealing than the first one.

00:23:51Yeah.

00:23:52This is big in Europe.

00:23:53Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.

00:23:56Mm-hmm.

00:23:57I see.

00:23:58Do you have anything more modest?

00:24:03Hmm.

00:24:03Modest?

00:24:04Yeah, that seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.

00:24:10With the rich folk, at least.

00:24:13You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.

00:24:21Aha.

00:24:25What do you think?

00:24:27I think she'd really like that.

00:24:28Hmm.

00:24:29Hmm.

00:24:31Can I have a margarita?

00:24:42You can't be serious, darling.

00:24:45She'll have a friend 75 with cognac.

00:24:48Flora, what are you doing here?

00:24:50Making sure you look the part.

00:24:52You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?

00:24:55Yes, more than anything.

00:24:57Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.

00:25:00We need to get our hands on that code fast.

00:25:03Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.

00:25:05But until then, we're in this together.

00:25:08Yes?

00:25:10Yeah.

00:25:12Excellent.

00:25:13Now, what's your game plan?

00:25:15Make him even more vulnerable and get him to tell me where the code is.

00:25:20And how do you suppose you'll do that?

00:25:22Um, be nice?

00:25:30Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.

00:25:34No.

00:25:35A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.

00:25:40Drinking with him and going to bed with him.

00:25:45Right.

00:25:46I, I can, I can do that.

00:25:49I hope so, because he's coming this way.

00:25:54Get the code soon, honey.

00:25:57For your mother.

00:25:59Okay.

00:26:02Oh!

00:26:03And darling, have fun.

00:26:08All right.

00:26:08Valentina.

00:26:17How are you?

00:26:18Wonderful, love.

00:26:20I've been looking forward to this all day.

00:26:22Is that so?

00:26:23Indeed.

00:26:25I was so distracted.

00:26:27It affected my croquet score.

00:26:29Oh, no.

00:26:30Distracted over little old me.

00:26:32Yes.

00:26:33I simply must know everything about you.

00:26:36Well, what would you like to know?

00:26:39Everything.

00:26:40Well, I don't know about everything.

00:26:43It might take some time for me to open up.

00:26:45Well, maybe after a few drinks.

00:26:49Only if you can keep up.

00:26:51See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.

00:26:55Oh, no.

00:26:56Well, here goes nothing.

00:27:02Oh, man.

00:27:04Oh, man.

00:27:05Oh, man.

00:27:07That's really bad.

00:27:08You know, my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is

00:27:26because I forget stuff and...

00:27:28Are you forgetful?

00:27:32I mean, yeah.

00:27:35Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?

00:27:39Really?

00:27:39Yeah.

00:27:41It cost me $10,000 just to get them reekied, which is why I should probably tell someone

00:27:49in case I do forget.

00:27:52So maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy.

00:27:57Well, if you'd like, go ahead.

00:27:59I'll tell you.

00:28:00I'll tell you.

00:28:01But first...

00:28:04Boop.

00:28:07I'm gonna hit the men's room.

00:28:08This is it.

00:28:14All I need to do is ask him where the code is, and my mission is over.

00:28:18Nothing can stop me now.

00:28:20Ariel?

00:28:22Except my ex-boyfriend.

00:28:24I don't know what you're talking about, darling.

00:28:30I don't know this...

00:28:33Ariel.

00:28:34No, no, no, no, no.

00:28:35You are definitely Ariel.

00:28:39But what are you doing in a place like this?

00:28:42You're poor.

00:28:43Fine.

00:28:44Please just leave, Max.

00:28:46It's Max-a-million now, because I'm Max, and I make millions.

00:28:51Whatever.

00:28:52Please.

00:28:53I'm begging you.

00:28:54Look at you.

00:28:55You look so much better.

00:28:58You look...

00:28:59Oh, what's that word?

00:29:01Rich?

00:29:02Please.

00:29:03I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately, but I've become very rich.

00:29:08Yes.

00:29:09You've sent me 50 messages about it.

00:29:11I had to block your number.

00:29:12Oh.

00:29:13Yeah, that's right.

00:29:14Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?

00:29:16I just...

00:29:17How about a kiss for old time's sake?

00:29:21You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.

00:29:26This isn't happening.

00:29:28Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?

00:29:36I don't bear...

00:29:37Oh, God.

00:29:39Don't you have a girlfriend?

00:29:40Yes, he does.

00:29:41A situationship at best.

00:29:43Let go, Max.

00:29:45Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.

00:29:48Get off her!

00:29:49What are you doing with that peasant?

00:30:00That's my girlfriend you're talking about.

00:30:02Blaine Ellington.

00:30:04Getting my sloppy seconds.

00:30:06This isn't over.

00:30:08This isn't over.

00:30:21Come on, Regina.

00:30:25Just stay away from my man, skink.

00:30:33He's actually trying to.

00:30:34Are you okay?

00:30:39Yeah, I think so.

00:30:40Are we getting it out of here?

00:30:41No, this isn't good.

00:30:43No, this isn't good.

00:30:55Care to explain this?

00:30:57I assume the article does a good job.

00:30:59Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?

00:31:06What are you, a child?

00:31:08I'm not a child, but he started it.

00:31:10Well, I don't care who started it.

00:31:13Ellington is a company based in family values.

00:31:18I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.

00:31:22No, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't.

00:31:23Don't play the girlfriend card, okay?

00:31:24The onus is you on this, pal.

00:31:28You know, maybe your sister was right.

00:31:31Maybe you're too much of a risk,

00:31:33even though you say you've settled down.

00:31:34Either way,

00:31:37I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.

00:31:41What would your father think?

00:32:01On easy lies the head that wears a crown.

00:32:05What is that?

00:32:06Some family motto I'm not aware of?

00:32:08It's Shakespeare, you idiot.

00:32:10Ah.

00:32:11What are you doing here?

00:32:12You don't want any of this.

00:32:14You don't know what I want.

00:32:16Uh, booze and bimbos?

00:32:19Or does page one of the paper say something different?

00:32:22She's not a bimbo.

00:32:25Then don't treat her like one.

00:32:28Treat her like...

00:32:29Dad treated Mom.

00:32:30How do you mean?

00:32:36Bring her completely into your life.

00:32:39Let her know everything about you.

00:32:41I'm trying to.

00:32:43Just last night,

00:32:44we were sharing everything with you.

00:32:45How can you share more?

00:32:48Behind most men's success is a strong woman.

00:32:51I will.

00:32:53I'm gonna get close to this woman.

00:32:55You'll see.

00:32:55And you will be like

00:32:58two lovely berries

00:33:00molded onto one stem.

00:33:02Shakespeare.

00:33:04Yeah?

00:33:05Ow.

00:33:06Martina, how are you?

00:33:21How am I?

00:33:22Yeah.

00:33:23How are you?

00:33:24I am annoyed.

00:33:26Time is running out, understand?

00:33:28Mm-hmm.

00:33:28We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.

00:33:31But now I'm not so sure.

00:33:34Wait.

00:33:36Oh my God.

00:33:37Do you have feelings for him?

00:33:39What?

00:33:39No.

00:33:40I hope not.

00:33:41Because you have four days to get that code?

00:33:44Or you can say bye to Mommy.

00:33:47Other than that,

00:33:49I am fine.

00:33:50Thanks for asking.

00:34:03Happy hump day, bestie!

00:34:04It's Tuesday, Hannah.

00:34:07Oh, right.

00:34:08Hey, how's your guide trouble coming?

00:34:10Better.

00:34:12And worse.

00:34:13That sounds super complicated.

00:34:15You have no idea.

00:34:17Aaron?

00:34:18Can you come in here?

00:34:20I'll be right there.

00:34:21Good thing you've got work to distract you.

00:34:23Good thing.

00:34:24Oh, you have the file for the new China branch?

00:34:35Yeah.

00:34:44Long night.

00:34:47You know what?

00:34:48Let's forget about the file.

00:35:01Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.

00:35:05That's in order.

00:35:15Okay.

00:35:16Okay.

00:35:23This is nice.

00:35:26Yeah.

00:35:26This should be, like,

00:35:30an everyday thing.

00:35:32Mm-hmm.

00:35:36Good morning.

00:35:37Another beautiful day in Ellington.

00:35:38Let's get it.

00:35:39Woo!

00:35:40Oh, Hannah.

00:35:41Oh, Hannah.

00:35:41Well, I guess that's over.

00:35:55Well, everything should be there.

00:36:00I can't even concentrate on work right now.

00:36:03Oh?

00:36:04Why?

00:36:05Well, I don't know if you heard, but...

00:36:10Oh, my.

00:36:11That's, uh, quite a scene.

00:36:13Well, I'm glad you weren't there.

00:36:16I can imagine.

00:36:18Yeah, I just...

00:36:19I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.

00:36:24You should just talk to her.

00:36:26And be honest.

00:36:28Yeah.

00:36:29I'm gonna call her.

00:36:31What?

00:36:34Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?

00:36:36Uh, you want me in the room?

00:36:39Yeah.

00:36:39Maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.

00:36:44Tell me if she sounds upset.

00:36:47Um...

00:36:47Yeah?

00:36:48I don't know if I feel comfortable.

00:36:50Oh, girl, she makes me so nervous.

00:36:53I'm sure you make her nervous, too.

00:36:56Shit, shit, shit.

00:36:56Uh-oh.

00:36:57Uh-oh.

00:37:03Think, Ariel, think.

00:37:04Uh, I'm gonna be sick.

00:37:06Uh, bathroom!

00:37:07Hello, darling.

00:37:15Hey, Valentina.

00:37:18How are you?

00:37:20Thriving, my dear.

00:37:21How are you feeling?

00:37:24A little banged up, but I've been worse.

00:37:27You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.

00:37:29I was an absolute heathen.

00:37:39Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.

00:37:42Uh, I was worried.

00:37:46No need, darling.

00:37:48I'm actually at the spa right now.

00:37:51Uh, I wanted to know if, uh, I get to see you again.

00:37:55You will.

00:37:58Very soon.

00:38:04Uh, sorry.

00:38:07Can I help you?

00:38:09I couldn't hear you.

00:38:10It kind of sounded like...

00:38:11Uh, sorry.

00:38:13Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.

00:38:17Must be going.

00:38:19Okay.

00:38:19Uh, sure.

00:38:21See you.

00:38:22Ta-ta!

00:38:25Community theater.

00:38:30Hmm.

00:38:31Character.

00:38:33I'm rehearsing.

00:38:35We're a mystery.

00:38:38I'll, uh, send you the dates.

00:38:41I'm not in the theater.

00:38:44That's fair.

00:38:45Mom, I'm home.

00:39:03Hi, honey.

00:39:04How was your day?

00:39:07It was...

00:39:09not boring.

00:39:11How was yours?

00:39:12It was wonderful.

00:39:14I did laundry, watched some soaps.

00:39:19Um, what are you cooking?

00:39:20I told you I was gonna cook tonight.

00:39:23Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have some, too.

00:39:28My co-worker?

00:39:30Hello, darling.

00:39:31I was going to call you about a few work questions, but I was, uh, in the neighborhood, and thought I'd drop in.

00:39:51Um, Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.

00:39:55You didn't say anything about a job promotion.

00:39:58I guess it slipped my mind.

00:40:01Well, you two don't mind me.

00:40:03Go ahead and have your work talk.

00:40:04Dinner will be ready soon.

00:40:06What are you doing here?

00:40:19Checking in to see what progress was made last night.

00:40:22I, um, I got close to finding out where he hit the drive, but I...

00:40:27But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?

00:40:30I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.

00:40:32Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.

00:40:36You are not getting attached.

00:40:39What?

00:40:39No.

00:40:40Of course not.

00:40:41Good.

00:40:42I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.

00:40:47Dinner's ready.

00:40:48Oh.

00:40:50Deeply sorry, darling.

00:40:51Urgent business.

00:40:52Must be taking off.

00:40:53Oh.

00:40:54Um, okay.

00:40:55Well, it was nice meeting you.

00:40:57You too, darling.

00:40:58Mwah.

00:40:59Mwah.

00:41:00Mwah.

00:41:02Tick-tock.

00:41:04Tick-tock.

00:41:11All right.

00:41:18I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.

00:41:22Any ideas?

00:41:25In a rehab.

00:41:26Too tacky.

00:41:28Go volunteer in a third world country?

00:41:30Mm, too obvious.

00:41:33Record an apology video for social media and post it there.

00:41:36Too cringe.

00:41:41Adopt an orphan.

00:41:43Now that is something.

00:41:44Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?

00:41:47Um, let's think of other options.

00:41:51What about a charity ball?

00:41:52Yes.

00:41:54That's it.

00:41:55That's the one.

00:41:56I like that.

00:41:57I like it a lot.

00:41:59Isn't she good?

00:42:00Phenomenal.

00:42:02Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.

00:42:05So, really, this kind of all comes back to...

00:42:08Got it.

00:42:09Wait.

00:42:10What charity would it be for?

00:42:12How about unknown disorders and illnesses?

00:42:15I'd love that.

00:42:16Let's get it rolling.

00:42:18I'll start right away.

00:42:19Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.

00:42:27Oh, my gosh.

00:42:28I'm honored.

00:42:29Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.

00:42:34Good job, Ariel.

00:42:35Ariel.

00:42:35Let's see how it looks.

00:42:44Come out.

00:42:48It fits perfectly, darling.

00:42:52Wow.

00:42:53Stunning.

00:42:58Next, I'll have to get you a dress.

00:43:00A dress?

00:43:02What's the occasion?

00:43:03Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.

00:43:10I love a good ball.

00:43:13But I must check my schedule, darling.

00:43:16Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?

00:43:20My new AI tech.

00:43:22It's going to revolutionize the world.

00:43:25Ah, yes.

00:43:27We got interrupted.

00:43:29You were going to tell me something important.

00:43:31What were you going to say?

00:43:35It's not really that necessary.

00:43:39You don't trust me?

00:43:40I do.

00:43:42This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.

00:43:48But I thought I was special.

00:43:52You are.

00:43:53I just...

00:43:54Well, you know, if you don't trust me...

00:43:56Wait.

00:44:04So you do trust me?

00:44:06Mm-hmm.

00:44:16So Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?

00:44:20Secret?

00:44:21Mm-hmm.

00:44:24Where is it?

00:44:26It's here.

00:44:27In the mansion.

00:44:31It's here?

00:44:38Mm-hmm.

00:44:39Where in the mansion?

00:44:50It's...

00:44:50Mm-hmm.

00:44:55Yeah.

00:44:58Now?

00:45:02Okay.

00:45:04I'll be there.

00:45:04Where are you going, darling?

00:45:13They need me to be on this call with China, so...

00:45:16Okay.

00:45:16I have to leave.

00:45:18You have to leave right now, darling?

00:45:20Yeah.

00:45:21Now.

00:45:22I'm sorry.

00:45:24Pick this back up again soon, huh?

00:45:27Yeah.

00:45:31Martina was right about you.

00:45:32I should start sharing more with you.

00:45:36I'm sorry.

00:45:38I'm sorry.

00:45:45I'm sorry.

00:45:46Did you get it?

00:46:09The code is in Blaine's mansion.

00:46:12Excellent, darling.

00:46:14Excellent.

00:46:16What are you doing here?

00:46:41What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?

00:46:43Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?

00:46:47You wouldn't understand.

00:46:49Oh, I understand.

00:46:50You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?

00:46:55No, I'm not.

00:46:56I...

00:46:57You know I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.

00:47:03It's only the right thing to do.

00:47:06Please don't.

00:47:07You don't know what I'm doing.

00:47:08Oh, you'll lose your job?

00:47:10Your reputation?

00:47:12Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?

00:47:16What do you want, Max?

00:47:18I just want a little, an arrangement.

00:47:22I'd rather not.

00:47:23Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.

00:47:27Did you just come here to hurt me?

00:47:31Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.

00:47:34I want to destroy you.

00:47:37You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.

00:47:43If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town,

00:47:48I'll do it for you.

00:48:07You seem extra happy today.

00:48:11I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.

00:48:15Wow, that's awesome, man.

00:48:17I'm so happy for you.

00:48:19Hi, Mr. Ellington.

00:48:20Hi, Kurt.

00:48:21Hi, Anna.

00:48:22Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.

00:48:26Kurt?

00:48:28Sorry, what are we talking about?

00:48:33Hi, Ariel.

00:48:35You all right?

00:48:36Yeah, I'm all right.

00:48:38Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.

00:48:43Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.

00:48:48I was thinking we could host it ourselves.

00:48:52Where?

00:48:53I was thinking your house.

00:48:55Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.

00:49:06Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.

00:49:12And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.

00:49:15Yeah, that makes sense.

00:49:18Okay, let's do it.

00:49:20Great.

00:49:21I'll send out the invitations.

00:49:22She really knows his company, inside and out.

00:49:29What do you know about Ariel?

00:49:32What do you want to know?

00:49:48Here you go, Mom.

00:49:49I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.

00:49:53I'm just so sleepy.

00:49:55That's okay.

00:49:56We can watch it next weekend.

00:49:58Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.

00:50:02Mom, you are my friend.

00:50:04People your age.

00:50:06Who you can be out dancing with.

00:50:09Flirting with boys.

00:50:12I actually kind of have met this one boy.

00:50:14What?

00:50:15What's he like?

00:50:17It's complicated.

00:50:18Honey, you just need to follow your heart.

00:50:23Yeah, he's kind of sweet.

00:50:28Oh.

00:50:33Sweetie, I'm fine.

00:50:35I just need some rest.

00:50:36And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.

00:51:01I'm dreading giving this speech.

00:51:05I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?

00:51:09I always thought that was a little pervy, but...

00:51:12I promise.

00:51:14You're going to be amazing.

00:51:15Thank you so much for helping with this charity ball idea.

00:51:22It was genius.

00:51:23I need to make it up to you at some point.

00:51:26I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.

00:51:28Well, I should get going.

00:51:33Wait, um...

00:51:35I should probably call Valentina, right?

00:51:37Make sure the dress fits.

00:51:41I'm sure she'd appreciate that.

00:51:43All right.

00:51:44Good night.

00:51:44Hello, darling.

00:51:58I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.

00:52:02It's perfect.

00:52:03I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

00:52:06I can't wait either, darling.

00:52:09Good night.

00:52:14Ariel, this place looks amazing.

00:52:35Thanks, Kurt.

00:52:36You're looking sharp.

00:52:38Oh, yeah.

00:52:39Well, got to dress to impress, you know?

00:52:42Are you trying to impress anyone?

00:52:44Nah.

00:52:46Listen, random.

00:52:49Does Hannah have a boyfriend?

00:52:52I don't think so.

00:52:54Do you like her?

00:52:56No.

00:52:57No, no, no, no.

00:52:59No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.

00:53:04Yeah.

00:53:05We need more balloons in the dining room.

00:53:10Oh!

00:53:11You're still here.

00:53:12Yeah.

00:53:13Uh, listen.

00:53:16If someone were to ask Hannah to dance, what do you think the chances are that she would

00:53:22say yes?

00:53:25Probably good.

00:53:27Are you going to ask her to dance?

00:53:29No.

00:53:30No.

00:53:30No, no, no, no, no.

00:53:31No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.

00:53:37That one just sprung to mind.

00:53:40Mm-hmm.

00:53:40Okay.

00:53:43Yeah.

00:53:44Um, well, I'm, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.

00:53:53So, I'm going to do that right now.

00:53:56I will see you later.

00:53:58All right, see ya.

00:54:01And you must be Ariel.

00:54:02Yes, hi.

00:54:12You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.

00:54:15He has?

00:54:16Oh, yes, yes.

00:54:17In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.

00:54:22I suppose so.

00:54:24Wonderful.

00:54:26Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.

00:54:32Wow, that's such an honor.

00:54:34I heard he was a great man.

00:54:37He was a great man.

00:54:39Martina, have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?

00:54:44Yes, briefly.

00:54:46She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.

00:54:49Yes, yes, she has.

00:54:50In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.

00:54:57Why wait?

00:54:58She could be a part of something huge tonight.

00:55:01Really?

00:55:01I think so.

00:55:03Don't you, Ariel?

00:55:05Uh, uh-huh.

00:55:07Amazing.

00:55:09Well, I can't wait.

00:55:15Me either.

00:55:16Me either.

00:55:34ARIEL

00:55:57Blaine

00:55:59There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.

00:56:01Here I am.

00:56:02Have you seen Valentina?

00:56:05No, I don't think so.

00:56:07About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?

00:56:11Um, no. No, I don't think so.

00:56:14In fact...

00:56:15What?

00:56:17Nothing. It's ridiculous.

00:56:20I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.

00:56:25I'll get right on that.

00:56:26Thank you. Bye.

00:56:28Bye.

00:56:32Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech. Then we're back to finding the drive.

00:56:44Okay. He can do this.

00:56:47Oh, hi, Ariel.

00:56:53Uh, you must be mistaken, love. I don't know this Ariel you speak of.

00:57:00Yeah, okay. Ariel.

00:57:02No, seriously. My name is Valentina Kingsley, and I'm a very wealthy socialite.

00:57:09Oh, I get it. It's like one of those improv games or something.

00:57:14No, no, no. No game. My name is...

00:57:17Valentina...

00:57:17Who else should I be?

00:57:19Just be yourself.

00:57:21So, I'm the Queen of England.

00:57:25You can really tell it's me?

00:57:27Well, yeah. But, I mean, I can be very observant.

00:57:32Really?

00:57:33Mm-hmm.

00:57:34Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.

00:57:38Okay. Can I ask why?

00:57:41Well, it's really complicated.

00:57:42Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.

00:57:47Can we make it a pinky promise?

00:57:50Yeah, sure.

00:57:51Aw. Well, good luck with whatever this is.

00:57:59Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.

00:58:01Okay.

00:58:12Ah, there you are, darling.

00:58:26Ah, Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.

00:58:29Look at this place.

00:58:30I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.

00:58:34I'm glad it lives up to your approval.

00:58:36Of course.

00:58:37You're doing a speech, I see.

00:58:39Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.

00:58:41They're gonna eat you up, darling.

00:58:45You make me feel so confident.

00:58:48I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.

00:58:58Of course.

00:59:00Okay, perfect.

00:59:02Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside. I must go speak with her.

00:59:05Uh, Valentina.

00:59:07I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you

00:59:11the AI code.

00:59:15Yes.

00:59:15I would love to see what you've been working on.

00:59:18Great.

00:59:19Where would this be taking place?

00:59:21In the study or...

00:59:23Upstairs.

00:59:24Hidden in a very high-tech safe.

00:59:26Ah, I see.

00:59:30You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.

00:59:37What the heck did I say?

00:59:39I'll give you a hint.

00:59:40If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.

00:59:44I'll let you get back to socializing.

00:59:51Good luck, darling.

00:59:54Excuse me.

01:00:16What are you doing in here?

01:00:17Excuse me.

01:00:26What are you doing in here?

01:00:28Um...

01:00:29And who are you?

01:00:31Oh, um, uh...

01:00:33Um, I...

01:00:35I, um...

01:00:36You look lost.

01:00:39I am, darling.

01:00:41I am lost.

01:00:42I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.

01:00:48Grandfather?

01:00:48Yes?

01:00:49This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.

01:00:54Oh, yes, yes.

01:00:55From the, uh, front page of the Times.

01:00:58Yes, I've heard a lot about you.

01:01:00Hope it was all good things.

01:01:02Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.

01:01:08And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you respectfully, like a lady.

01:01:15He is.

01:01:17Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.

01:01:19If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.

01:01:25Right.

01:01:26Good thing.

01:01:28Shall we return to the party?

01:01:31Yes, we shall.

01:01:33Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.

01:01:35You too, sir.

01:01:38You seem quiet.

01:02:00Is everything all right?

01:02:02Everything's fine, darling.

01:02:04Hey, Valentina.

01:02:06I have a girl question.

01:02:08For you.

01:02:12Oh, my God, for the love of God.

01:02:14You clearly have a crush on Hannah.

01:02:16Just ask her to dance.

01:02:17You just met me, you can already tell.

01:02:20Yes.

01:02:22You read me like a book.

01:02:24I see what Blaine sees in you.

01:02:25You're really inquisitive.

01:02:27In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.

01:02:30Would you?

01:02:31That would be great.

01:02:32Toad.

01:02:34Toad.

01:02:38Hannah, I need a favor.

01:02:40Anything.

01:02:41When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.

01:02:44If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.

01:02:47And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.

01:02:51Got it.

01:02:52Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.

01:02:56Really?

01:02:58Sorry.

01:02:59When?

01:03:01Tonight.

01:03:02Oh, right.

01:03:02It's a ball.

01:03:03Yeah.

01:03:03It's time, brother.

01:03:19You ready?

01:03:20It's ready as I'll ever be.

01:03:21All right.

01:03:26Thank you for coming tonight.

01:03:29It means a lot.

01:03:30Of course.

01:03:31You're going to be amazing.

01:03:40Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.

01:03:44It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,

01:03:52Mr. Blaine Ellington.

01:03:59Good evening, everyone.

01:04:01I want to, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of this

01:04:08would have happened tonight.

01:04:09My assistant Ariel and my girlfriend, Valentina.

01:04:13I'm not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.

01:04:22Hi, Anna.

01:04:28Oh, hi.

01:04:30You haven't, uh, seen Valentina around, have you?

01:04:33I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.

01:04:36Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.

01:04:42Oh, okay.

01:04:45Um, you look, you look really pretty, by the way.

01:04:50Thanks.

01:04:51You look really pretty, too.

01:04:55All right, time to find this code.

01:05:18Blaine mentioned something I said.

01:05:39What the heck did I say?

01:05:44The paintings.

01:05:45So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders

01:06:10unknown, thank you all for coming.

01:06:13I hope to see you on the dance floor.

01:06:35I'm sorry, Mom.

01:06:37I failed you.

01:06:40I failed you, honey.

01:07:09I'll give you a hint.

01:07:10If you were to look for it,

01:07:12you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.

01:07:18He wasn't talking about the painting.

01:07:22He was talking about me.

01:07:38I'll give you a hint.

01:07:45I'll give you a hint.

01:07:48I'll give you a hint.

01:07:52I'm gonna give you a hint.

01:07:54I can see you on the other side of the curtain.

01:07:58He's havingburied.

01:08:00I will give you a hint in the dark.

01:08:03I will give you a hint.

01:08:08okay

01:09:08Excellent, darling.

01:09:10I'll give it to you after the ball.

01:09:12Or you could give it to me now.

01:09:16Flora?

01:09:21What are you doing here?

01:09:23I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.

01:09:26Just like you, apparently.

01:09:30The code, darling.

01:09:35The future.

01:09:38In the palm of my hand.

01:09:41I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.

01:09:44Lane's a good man.

01:09:47You're awful.

01:09:49He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.

01:09:52My mom? And her surgery?

01:09:55I've been accused of many things.

01:09:58But I always keep my word.

01:10:00Now, go and celebrate. You deserve it, darling.

01:10:04That's right.

01:10:05I appreciate it.

01:10:07And we haven't reached out to.

01:10:10Or anything.

01:10:11Certainly.

01:10:13Ah-ha-ha-ha.

01:10:14For fun.

01:10:16Or

01:10:29Valentina

01:10:33Hi darling

01:10:34There you are

01:10:35How are you feeling?

01:10:38Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling

01:10:40Excellent

01:10:42Care to dance?

01:10:44Certainly

01:10:44Well, well, well, well

01:10:50Look at the happy couple

01:10:59How did you get in?

01:11:02Oh, I have my ways

01:11:03We lied about our names on the guest list

01:11:06Anyway

01:11:08I just came here to congratulate you

01:11:12On your little event

01:11:14You need to leave

01:11:16Actually, I don't think I do

01:11:18Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is

01:11:22She's Valentina Kingsley

01:11:24No, no, no

01:11:25There is no Valentina Kingsley

01:11:28What?

01:11:30If only your little assistant

01:11:32Had assisted you

01:11:34In researching her

01:11:35You know, it's funny

01:11:36I haven't actually seen her

01:11:38All night

01:11:40Blaine, don't listen to him

01:11:42What is he talking about?

01:11:45Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here

01:11:48But an ex-boyfriend

01:11:51Never forgets a butt

01:11:53Ariel?

01:12:04Ariel?

01:12:05Ariel?

01:12:05This whole time you've been Valentina?

01:12:20That's right. This whole time, you pretended to care about me. But you're just a liar.

01:12:28And worse, she's poor.

01:12:32Why?

01:12:33Yes, Ariel. But why?

01:12:37I'm so sorry.

01:12:39Ariel. Ariel, wait.

01:12:42How embarrassing.

01:12:43You know, I looked into you. You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.

01:12:55How preposterous. If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.

01:13:00Ew. You're poor?

01:13:04Regina!

01:13:08Whew. You're my hero.

01:13:11Well, thanks. Sometimes I just gotta tell him, you know.

01:13:19Ariel!

01:13:30What are you smiling about?

01:13:32I mean, come on. This proves it, right? He's a joke.

01:13:37No, he's your brother, Martina.

01:13:40He's a liability, Richard.

01:13:42And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show, because you won't be alive much longer.

01:13:48Oh, well, don't bet on that.

01:13:50You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.

01:13:54You've got a lot of nerve letting this shit go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.

01:14:00I should be running this company.

01:14:03Or is this what success looks like to you?

01:14:10Look, I'm not poor.

01:14:12What is that?

01:14:12I don't want to hear it.

01:14:13I do not want to hear it.

01:14:15You lied to me. Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.

01:14:18No, I didn't.

01:14:19That is fair.

01:14:26Regina!

01:14:27Regina!

01:14:34Regina!

01:14:35Regina!

01:14:36Regina!

01:14:37Regina!

01:14:38Regina!

01:14:39Regina!

01:14:40Regina!

01:14:41Regina!

01:14:42Regina!

01:14:43Regina!

01:14:50That was a disaster!

01:14:56I just don't understand.

01:14:58Why would she go through all that?

01:15:00I don't know.

01:15:02But, uh...

01:15:04These scandals are exhausting.

01:15:06Yeah.

01:15:07I don't think I'll be dating any time soon.

01:15:13Right.

01:15:16I got a lot to think about.

01:15:18What do you mean?

01:15:20I mean, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for it to gain back the public's trust.

01:15:27You can't be serious.

01:15:29No?

01:15:33Something better happen soon, or I guess much worse.

01:15:39Did she want anything from you?

01:15:41I don't know, Martina.

01:15:44Nothing valuable?

01:15:45Martina, I said I don't...

01:16:09No!

01:16:11Ariel, baby.

01:16:23Oh, you look like you had a rough night.

01:16:27It was a disaster, really.

01:16:29I feel awful.

01:16:31Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.

01:16:35Thanks, Mom.

01:16:37Well, I have something to tell you.

01:16:40Dr. Westfall calls.

01:16:42Are you okay?

01:16:43What's going on?

01:16:43He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.

01:16:51What?

01:16:52I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.

01:16:55Oh, my God.

01:16:56Mom.

01:16:59Mom, I'm so happy.

01:17:02I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.

01:17:04I agree.

01:17:06You're probably...

01:17:12Go, your God.

01:17:16Stop.

01:17:16Wait.

01:17:17Yes.

01:17:18Do you think we'll eat tonight?

01:17:18Oh, my God.

01:17:24This is so true.

01:17:25I'm sorry.

01:17:25You're sorry.

01:17:26We have nós Ronasa.

01:17:26We have some beers.

01:17:28Listen to me.

01:17:29I'm so happy about everything you can try.

01:17:31You're sorry?

01:17:32It's time to celebrate. To the future, darling.

01:17:47Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.

01:17:57There it is. Doesn't our little prize look nice? People walk in and out of my office having

01:18:09no idea what's in the room with them. Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer since

01:18:16my programmer is going to pick it up tonight. I guess I just feel bad. To get what you want

01:18:23in life, sometimes you have to do bold things. Break the rules a little.

01:18:29I guess. Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy. Blaine would never do anything

01:18:39like that. Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?

01:18:45What? All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over. I trust that the original

01:18:54estimate hasn't changed? I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?

01:18:59No, that's why we're here, isn't it?

01:19:05Darling!

01:19:06Darling!

01:19:10All right. One more drink and we'll start packing up my things. Deal. One more.

01:19:39Anna. Hi, Mr. Ellington. May I come in? Sure. Come on in. Hi, cutie.

01:19:54Care for a drink? Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago. Wait, what was that? Mr. Ellington,

01:19:59I have a delivery for you. From who? Ariel.

01:20:09From who? Ariel. I don't want it. Take it back. She said you might say that, but she said that it was

01:20:16very, very important. How important? I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she

01:20:25only trusted me to deliver it, so it must be a big deal.

01:20:36Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Ew! What's happening? What's going on? What does this mean?

01:20:49Oh, Flora? Yes, darling? Uh, your appointment had to leave early. I asked if they wanted to

01:21:14schedule, but they said no. I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today. What was the name?

01:21:19Valentine? Valentina Kingsley?

01:21:43You're rich. You'll get over it, darling.

01:21:49Oh, what's going on? What does this mean?

01:22:09Thank you for everything.

01:22:11Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?

01:22:20Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that.

01:22:27Can you please get the hell out of my seat?

01:22:29Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.

01:22:41But it's time.

01:22:57To celebrate.

01:22:59You are going to regret this. I promise you that.

01:23:11Jeez, what did you do?

01:23:13I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.

01:23:19Let me see. I knew you could do it. I knew it.

01:23:24You know, your dad would be so proud of you.

01:23:28Dr. Westfall.

01:23:42Oh, hi, Ariel.

01:23:43Is surgery over? How did it go?

01:23:44Yes, we just finished. Um, there were complications.

01:23:48Complications?

01:23:48Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.

01:23:54Really?

01:23:55Yeah, really, yes.

01:23:56In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.

01:23:59She's going to need to rest for a few hours, but when she wakes up,

01:24:02she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.

01:24:05I can't thank you enough.

01:24:06I'm happy to help.

01:24:26I can't thank you enough.

01:24:48Come in. Come in. Welcome.

01:24:52Ariel.

01:24:57Ariel.

01:24:59Mom, why didn't you hang out of bed? The doctor said to stay in after surgery.

01:25:03I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got kind of excited.

01:25:08Are you hungry, thirsty?

01:25:13No, thank you, but thank you.

01:25:14Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.

01:25:18Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?

01:25:21Oh, of course. Um, I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.

01:25:27I'm so, so sorry.

01:25:39I, uh, I understand why you did it.

01:25:44And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.

01:25:48Thank you for everything.

01:25:51I don't even know where to start.

01:25:56I'm not looking for an apology.

01:26:00You're not?

01:26:01No.

01:26:02See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.

01:26:07And you're kind of the best in town.

01:26:09I accept.

01:26:13And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend?

01:26:20Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.

01:26:25I love you, Valentina.

01:26:40I mean, Ariel.

01:26:43That's gonna take some getting used to.

01:26:47There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my special place.

01:26:53It's even better.
