Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Mason's always saying I should dress sexier.
00:00:14He'll be so surprised.
00:00:26Happy anniversary, Mason.
00:00:28Mason?
00:00:32And that was just the appetizer.
00:00:34What the fuck is going on here?
00:00:41Okay.
00:00:43I guess the secret's out.
00:00:45It's our wedding anniversary, Mason! 15 years!
00:00:49Yeah. I traded up for a new remodel.
00:00:53I mean, come on. Look at you.
00:00:55Who exactly are you trying to impress here?
00:00:59I mean, that's not really flattering to your figure, babe.
00:01:03So that gives you the right to cheat on me? With our employee?
00:01:06You're old. Washed up.
00:01:09I mean, all you do is work.
00:01:11How's that working out for you, huh?
00:01:13The company's struggling.
00:01:14The investors are pulling out.
00:01:15The board is losing confidence in you.
00:01:18You asshole.
00:01:19You're finished!
00:01:37Watch where you're going!
00:01:38You're the one who-
00:01:43Someone's a lucky guy.
00:01:45No.
00:01:47Actually, he's a selfish idiot.
00:01:49Well, I hope you find someone worth your beautiful company.
00:01:53Hey!
00:02:09Hey! You dropped your cell phone!
00:02:11What the hell is this place?
00:02:12You're welcome.
00:02:13Who are you trying to impress?
00:02:14You're old.
00:02:15Washed up.
00:02:17Members only.
00:02:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:02:33We know that you're the one who-
00:02:36What the hell is this place?
00:02:38Who are you trying to impress?
00:02:40You're old.
00:02:41Washed up.
00:02:42Members only.
00:02:44Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't, um...
00:02:47It's fine. She's with me.
00:02:54You dropped us.
00:02:58How'd you find me?
00:03:00There was a notification on your phone.
00:03:02Took a chance.
00:03:03Well, I'm glad you did.
00:03:05First time here?
00:03:06Isn't that obvious?
00:03:08A little.
00:03:10But I mean...
00:03:13Dress the part, so...
00:03:21Yeah.
00:03:22I should go home.
00:03:24Everyone here is really young.
00:03:27How old are you?
00:03:29Okay, for your information,
00:03:31I know more about pleasuring than men twice my age.
00:03:34Or stamina.
00:03:36Word of proof.
00:03:38Wanna show you?
00:03:59Up here is my private room.
00:04:01The IP is only.
00:04:03The IP is only.
00:04:19So your safe word is strawberry.
00:04:22I say strawberry.
00:04:24I say strawberry, and everything stops.
00:04:27No questions asked.
00:04:28If I don't?
00:04:30Then I'll fulfill every fantasy you've ever had.
00:04:32Every fantasy you've ever had.
00:04:49What are you trying to hide?
00:04:52You're beautiful.
00:04:53I've never done anything like this before.
00:05:10It's okay.
00:05:11You're perfect just the way you are.
00:05:14We're here.
00:05:15You're a good girl.
00:05:16You're gonna go away with your boyfriend.
00:05:17What?
00:05:18You're a good girl.
00:05:19Now trust me and be a good girl.
00:05:20Say yes, sir.
00:05:24Say it.
00:05:25Yes, sir.
00:05:26Say it.
00:05:28I'm sorry.
00:05:35Strawberry, I'm sorry.
00:05:37What?
00:05:39I'm old enough to be your mother.
00:05:41And I'm way too old to have sex in some club.
00:05:45I don't care how old you-
00:05:46I'm sorry.
00:05:47I can't.
00:05:58Happy anniversary, wifey.
00:06:10You got a lot of nerve being here after that stunt.
00:06:14Oh, that, yeah.
00:06:16That girl, Danielle, she's got a lot of enthusiasm, you know?
00:06:20I will fire you for sleeping with a junior employee.
00:06:23Fire me?
00:06:25You really think you can do that?
00:06:27Especially since I'm gonna be the new CEO.
00:06:30You're out of your mind if you think you're gonna take my company.
00:06:34Take it?
00:06:36They're gonna give it to me.
00:06:38You passed your prime, Viv.
00:06:40Old.
00:06:42Easy to walk over.
00:06:44Never gonna happen.
00:06:46We'll see about that.
00:06:48Well, I'm going to bed.
00:06:52Care to join me?
00:06:54Screw you, Mason.
00:06:57I'm going to get the money.
00:06:58That sorry excuse of a sperm donor is not about to ruin the rest of our lives.
00:07:02With my strategy, we can increase market share by 25% in just a few months.
00:07:03I'm going to get the money.
00:07:04That sorry excuse of a sperm donor is not about to ruin the rest of our lives.
00:07:17With my strategy, we can increase market share by 25% in just two quarters.
00:07:32Well, as your CEO, that plan completely disregards our current infrastructure.
00:07:41It risks everything that we've built.
00:07:44No reason to get emotional about it, Vivian.
00:07:47I think maybe your change of life might be affecting your judgment a little.
00:07:52Excuse me?
00:07:54Where's the most recent financial report?
00:07:58Slipping a little, aren't we?
00:08:04I apologize.
00:08:05I will be right back.
00:08:06I apologize.
00:08:07I will be right back.
00:08:08Your financial report is ready, Ms. Rockwell.
00:08:25What are you doing to my office?
00:08:39I'm your new assistant.
00:08:42I'm your new assistant, Eric Johnson.
00:08:48Who the hell are you?
00:08:53Derek Johnson, Ms. Rockwell's new assistant.
00:08:56Eric, I thought I hired an Erica.
00:09:02Does someone want to explain why I have a new assistant that I never hired?
00:09:06The board and I thought that you could use the help of someone who's young, fresh.
00:09:14I don't need help.
00:09:16I am the CEO of Rockwell Inc.
00:09:18You don't have the authority to hire anyone behind my back, Mason.
00:09:23Mrs. Rockwell, with all due respect, listen to your CFO and take the help.
00:09:30Vivian, I mean with your moods and forgetfulness, you know, I was just looking out for you.
00:09:37Everyone out now.
00:09:42Out.
00:09:46Okay.
00:09:47Not you, Mason.
00:09:58Undermining me?
00:09:59You're just imagining things.
00:10:01Come on.
00:10:02We can talk about it at home.
00:10:08There is no home.
00:10:09At least not for you.
00:10:10I may not be able to fire you, Mason, but I sure as hell can kick you out of my house.
00:10:16That pie paid for.
00:10:18I'll have your stuff sent to you.
00:10:24Are you threatening me?
00:10:27You're gonna regret getting in my way, wifey.
00:10:37Asshole piece of shit!
00:10:40God, I wish I never married him.
00:10:43Miss Rockwell.
00:10:44Finn.
00:10:45You're still here.
00:10:50You're still here.
00:10:51Okay.
00:10:53There's been a very big mistake.
00:10:55So, go to HR and tell them to transfer you somewhere else, anywhere else.
00:11:00I'm here to assist you in all your needs, Miss Rockwell.
00:11:04It's what I'm here to do.
00:11:08I don't need anything from you.
00:11:13Even after last night?
00:11:16What are you?
00:11:19Fresh?
00:11:20Out of college?
00:11:22Do you even have experience as an executive assistant?
00:11:28Well, I graduated from Harvard, interned at Looney, and spent two years as executive assistant at Hartwell.
00:11:34Well, I'm not paying you for introductions, Mr. Johnson.
00:11:44So, if you're gonna work here, you're just gonna need to get up to speed.
00:11:49Already done.
00:11:50You've got back-to-back investor calls from 10 to noon, lunch with the New York merger lawyers at 1, and an internal finance check-in at 3.
00:12:00You did all of this homework before starting?
00:12:03Like I said, it's my job to anticipate all of your needs.
00:12:13You seem tense, Miss Rockwell.
00:12:15You know, I have a way of handling these things.
00:12:28Let me take control.
00:12:29Let me take control.
00:12:39Okay, so, Mr. Johnson.
00:12:41Listen.
00:12:42Last night was a mistake, okay?
00:12:44I'm married.
00:12:45I'm running this entire company, so I can't be messing around with my, what, 20-something assistant?
00:12:51Your marriage doesn't seem very happy.
00:12:54We were running this entire company together, so I can't get divorced, because it'll be a scandal in the press, and...
00:13:01You know what?
00:13:03None of your concern.
00:13:05Fine.
00:13:09But if you change your mind...
00:13:15You know where to find me.
00:13:36Have a seat.
00:13:39The board needs stability.
00:13:40They need me as CEO, not Vivian.
00:13:46That's a big move.
00:13:48Forcing a vote of no confidence?
00:13:50Clark, you owe me.
00:13:52Remember that little jam you had with the tax auditors?
00:13:56How I kept your name out of the press?
00:13:58Well, that's the same way that I can publicize it now.
00:14:03Convince the others.
00:14:05When the vote comes, Vivian falls.
00:14:07When I take the CEO chair.
00:14:21...
00:14:26This is ridiculous.
00:14:42I am a grown woman with a husband and a company.
00:14:53Careful, Mr. Rockwell.
00:14:56I'm fine.
00:15:00You say that like you prefer a brew strawberry.
00:15:04I've been here five minutes. You don't know anything about me.
00:15:06I'm fine.
00:15:36I'm fine.
00:15:51Ow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:53Here, let me help you.
00:15:55Be careful.
00:15:56Yeah, I'm fine.
00:16:01Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:16:02Okay, okay.
00:16:04Okay.
00:16:06How are you doing?
00:16:10I'm fine.
00:16:11Come on.
00:16:12Listen, you'll need ice, compression, and elevation.
00:16:19I'm trying to keep your weight off of it, all right?
00:16:21And I was your boss.
00:16:22I'll go get some ice.
00:16:29Wait.
00:16:32I don't just need ice.
00:16:35I need you.
00:16:38The board wants me out.
00:16:40My husband's trying to ruin me.
00:16:41My entire life is out of control.
00:16:44Stay.
00:16:47I keep telling you what to do.
00:16:49Please.
00:16:51Are you sure that's what you want?
00:16:53Yes, sir.
00:16:55Give me your ankle.
00:16:57Yes, sir.
00:17:02You need to stop pretending you can carry this all on your own.
00:17:05You sit, you breathe, you let someone take care of you for once.
00:17:13What if what I want isn't very professional?
00:17:18Then tell me, and I'll give it to you.
00:17:29Well, isn't this interesting?
00:17:35Eric was just helping me with my ankle.
00:17:43I sprained it at the gym this morning.
00:17:45I'll get ice.
00:17:46Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
00:17:49Danielle, I would like to speak with you.
00:17:53Not as your boss, as a woman.
00:17:56Okay.
00:17:57Look, I know that Mason is charming.
00:18:02And he's your boss, so it's very hard to say no.
00:18:06But if he's taking advantage of you in any way, I can...
00:18:09Seriously.
00:18:10You're pitying me.
00:18:11No, I'm trying to...
00:18:12You're just jealous because you're too old to keep your husband.
00:18:15You're mad that I'm prettier, I'm younger, and I'm everything else that you're not.
00:18:22Watch it.
00:18:23What are you going to do?
00:18:23Fire me.
00:18:26Mason won't let you.
00:18:27He'll ruin you.
00:18:29Soon.
00:18:30I'll be the new Mrs. Rockwell.
00:18:32And you'll be yesterday's trash.
00:18:35Is there a problem here?
00:18:44Nope.
00:18:44See you at the meeting.
00:18:53Oh my god, we almost got caught.
00:18:56Jesus, I'm so stupid.
00:18:58Don't say that.
00:19:00What do you see in an older woman like me, huh?
00:19:04Everyone knows I'm way past my prime.
00:19:07Don't say that.
00:19:08You're not past your prime.
00:19:09You are the prime.
00:19:10You're what everyone else is scrambling to catch up to.
00:19:12You're just saying that.
00:19:15Only you can see how incredible you are.
00:19:19You're the most beautiful, powerful woman I've ever met.
00:19:24No wonder you want to control me.
00:19:27You look so helpless and pathetic.
00:19:29I want you because there's nothing sexier than a powerful woman getting on her knees for me.
00:19:38Dominance and submission isn't a game to me.
00:19:40It's honest.
00:19:45We're all.
00:19:48It's two people connecting on their deepest desires, completely exposed.
00:19:52Show me.
00:19:55If you're serious, then come find me at the club tomorrow night.
00:20:00You should take that.
00:20:01Roger, what did you find out about Mr. Johnson?
00:20:10Finding your guy was easier than I thought.
00:20:13Eric's the son of Gerald Johnson, disgraced head of the Johnson Group.
00:20:17What do you mean, disgraced?
00:20:19They lost their company a few months back.
00:20:22Huge scandal.
00:20:23Find out what happened.
00:20:24Vivian, you came?
00:20:38Shh.
00:20:39Don't say my name.
00:20:41Someone's going to hear you.
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:43What about Matt?
00:20:45I'm kidding.
00:20:47Good girl.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:49Are you going to put that on me?
00:20:55If you don't want to, then you can walk out that door and go home.
00:21:10I asked you to show me.
00:21:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:21:17Then follow me.
00:21:21In here with me, you don't have to worry about your company, your personal life.
00:21:27Just obey me.
00:21:30Yes, sir.
00:21:38Now strip.
00:21:42I said strip.
00:21:47Let me see that perfect body of yours.
00:21:59I know I'm not as smooth a tone as I used to be.
00:22:02You're probably used to girls your age who would, you know, marry each other.
00:22:05I'm not settling for you.
00:22:09You're here because I want you.
00:22:10Have you ever been spanked before?
00:22:15Want to try?
00:22:16Yes, sir.
00:22:24Wait.
00:22:25Are you Gerald Johnson's son?
00:22:31Hey, but...
00:22:32So what?
00:22:34He's my biggest...
00:22:35Was my biggest competitor.
00:22:38Why are you working for me?
00:22:40You want to talk business now?
00:22:44I need to know I can trust you.
00:22:46Just...
00:22:46I don't work for Gerald Johnson.
00:22:56Okay?
00:22:56As far as I'm concerned, I'm no longer his son.
00:23:00I'm sorry.
00:23:01Look, just...
00:23:03It was fun, but you need to get some sleep.
00:23:06You have a meeting at 8 a.m.
00:23:18Look, I'm sorry, but I'm interested in someone else.
00:23:20Thank you very much for investing in Rockwell, Inc.
00:23:26I will have my assistant send over the contract.
00:23:31Miss Rockwell, what can I do for you?
00:23:35Well, I'm certainly not paying you to flirt with employees.
00:23:38Jealous?
00:23:40Of course not.
00:23:42Look, if you wanted me to be a one-man woman, you could have just said so.
00:23:44Don't be ridiculous.
00:23:53We have a gal at a plan.
00:23:54Already done.
00:23:55I drafted invite emails, booked the caterer, and coordinated with security already.
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:03What if I swap Vivian's files with sloppy fake reports?
00:24:11Everyone will think she's losing it.
00:24:14That's brilliant.
00:24:16Yeah.
00:24:18And just in time for the gala.
00:24:25What is this?
00:24:26The last piece of preparation for the gala.
00:24:29Open it.
00:24:31Okay.
00:24:33Are you insane?
00:24:38I can't wear that.
00:24:40Why not?
00:24:41Because I'm a 40-year-old woman.
00:24:44It's made to your measurements.
00:24:47It's designed for you.
00:24:52Put on the dress for me.
00:24:55If not, I'll have to punish you.
00:25:01What if I want to be punished?
00:25:03Yes, sweetie.
00:25:16Is that Vivian Rockwell?
00:25:18God, she looks incredible.
00:25:21Mason's a lucky guy.
00:25:22Look, kid.
00:25:30I know who you are.
00:25:39And I know you need money.
00:25:40You don't know anything about me, huh?
00:25:48Gerald Johnson's kid.
00:25:50Heir to the now-forgotten Johnson fortune.
00:25:53Your dad's bankrupt.
00:25:54Your mom's working on jobs.
00:25:56What do you want?
00:25:56I'll give you one million dollars to sabotage Vivian and help me become CEO.
00:26:03What?
00:26:06A million dollars.
00:26:07And all I have to do is sabotage Vivian.
00:26:09You heard me?
00:26:23Think of your family.
00:26:27Yeah.
00:26:28You don't think about it?
00:26:30Eric, no.
00:26:31Gentlemen, how are things going?
00:26:42Well, your recent numbers were way off, Vivian.
00:26:46The investors are furious.
00:26:49They're threatening to walk thanks to your sloppy numbers.
00:26:53Hi.
00:27:04Hi.
00:27:05I, uh, forgot my pen.
00:27:07Oops.
00:27:09Got it.
00:27:10Okay.
00:27:12Danielle did this.
00:27:15I don't make sloppy mistakes.
00:27:18Maybe it's dementia setting it.
00:27:20That does happen in older people.
00:27:23Every man here, including Eric, is here to fuck me over.
00:27:29Like I said, I don't make mistakes.
00:27:31Pardon the intrusion, but I couldn't help overhearing.
00:27:35I actually tracked down an uncorrupted version of the file with the proper projections.
00:27:40They'll be sent to the investors first thing tomorrow morning.
00:27:42Is he helping me?
00:27:44Dan, I can assure you, gentlemen, the investors will be very, very satisfied with the numbers.
00:27:48Well, it looks like you saved the day, young man.
00:27:52Good assistants are hard to find, Vivian.
00:27:55Make sure you keep him.
00:27:56Gentlemen.
00:27:57Yes.
00:27:58Hmm.
00:28:01You just kissed one million dollars goodbye, kid.
00:28:06I'm loyal to my boss, Vivian Rockwell.
00:28:09Why did you do that back there?
00:28:22Do what?
00:28:23Stick up for me in front of the board.
00:28:25Why wouldn't I?
00:28:26I don't know.
00:28:27Maybe one million dollars.
00:28:29You heard that.
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:31If you think I'm just going to sit around and let you sabotage me, you've got another thing coming.
00:28:36I'm not out to sabotage you, Vivian.
00:28:38I want to help you.
00:28:42Okay?
00:28:43You can relax around me.
00:28:48But I'm your boss, okay?
00:28:50So it's my job to be strong and in control.
00:28:54Vivian, you're stronger than concrete.
00:28:57No.
00:28:57Okay, but even concrete cracks under too much pressure.
00:29:01Let me hold some of the weight for you.
00:29:05I'll hold you.
00:29:05I just need you to trust me.
00:29:07What?
00:29:26We can't do this.
00:29:28I mean, I'm not just some young girl that gets swept away in lust.
00:29:32Do you want this?
00:29:33It doesn't matter what I want.
00:29:37Yes, it does.
00:29:39Okay, not just in the club, but out here in the real world too.
00:29:53Gonna be the death to me, Vivian Rockwell.
00:29:57Hey, Vivian.
00:29:58Hey, let me help with those Sinclair files.
00:30:00Uh, no.
00:30:00I got it.
00:30:03Come to lunch with me.
00:30:11Camp, I have a call with clients in five minutes.
00:30:14It's funny, I don't remember seeing that on your calendar.
00:30:17It's just scheduled.
00:30:19Don't lie to me.
00:30:22Mason is doing everything he can to steal the company I built.
00:30:25So, I can't let anyone control me ever again.
00:30:28Not Mason, not you.
00:30:30I don't want to control you, Vivian.
00:30:35You want to put a collar on me and tell me what to do.
00:30:38You just don't get it.
00:30:40Even though I want to tie you up, all I want to do is set you free.
00:30:44See what happens when you let go of a little control?
00:30:56Stop talking before I change my mind.
00:30:59Then get on the table.
00:30:59Lift your skirt up.
00:31:22What?
00:31:22We're at the office.
00:31:23I told you to trust me.
00:31:37Shh.
00:31:43Don't want anyone hearing me.
00:31:45Shh, shh, shh.
00:31:52Hello?
00:31:55Anybody here?
00:31:55That was way too close.
00:32:14He almost caught us.
00:32:16It's fine.
00:32:17He didn't see us.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:18Easy for you to say.
00:32:19You have your whole life ahead of you.
00:32:21You don't know what it's like to have a company and a reputation to lose.
00:32:25You know, I just forget it.
00:32:27I'm done playing hot and cold with you.
00:32:30Eric, I didn't...
00:32:35Rockwell is not selling a product.
00:32:42We sell trust and innovation.
00:32:45Our numbers speak for themselves.
00:32:46Is this a joke?
00:32:49You're losing millions.
00:32:51I'm pulling my investments.
00:32:53Our numbers are high.
00:32:55Unacceptable.
00:32:56These are the wrong numbers.
00:32:58I swear, your investments are safe here at Rockwell.
00:33:02What the hell is this, Vivian?
00:33:04Explain yourself.
00:33:05I apologize.
00:33:11These documents are not reflective of Rockwell's upward trajectory.
00:33:16I will look into this.
00:33:17A CEO who can't manage her own money?
00:33:20I'm out.
00:33:21Unacceptable.
00:33:22Wait.
00:33:23Gentlemen.
00:33:24Hey, Josh.
00:33:25Do you have that coffee over?
00:33:29Right here, sir.
00:33:30Also, I've digitized all of Mrs. Rockwell's files last week.
00:33:36Someone changed the documents to humiliate her and mislead all of you.
00:33:41This is crazy talk.
00:33:44As you can see, gentlemen, Vivian has failed you.
00:33:48She is unfit as CEO.
00:33:51Let's take a look at that security footage, shall we?
00:33:54Wait, Mr. Johnson.
00:33:55We are on that.
00:34:00Just trust me.
00:34:07Is that Mason Rockwell?
00:34:12Mr. Johnson, please send that footage to the rest of the board immediately.
00:34:17Will do.
00:34:17Mr. Rockwell, care to explain?
00:34:21You know, the meeting's adjourned.
00:34:25Coffee, boss.
00:34:33Eric, wait.
00:34:36Thank you for saving me with the investors back there.
00:34:41Just doing my job.
00:34:43And I'm sorry.
00:34:47I'm sorry for not trusting you.
00:34:48The truth is, no one has ever made me feel the way that you do.
00:34:56Like, I matter for something more than my accomplishments.
00:35:00Like, I am worth wanting for who I am.
00:35:05For who I am.
00:35:07You keep pulling away from me, Vivian.
00:35:09I can't hide anything from you.
00:35:13I'm scared.
00:35:14Don't be.
00:35:15How dare your pathetic assistant be...
00:35:24Oh, this is rich.
00:35:31And I'm the monster for screwing my hot young assistant?
00:35:34I mean, you are such a hypocrite.
00:35:36Okay, Mason.
00:35:37It's not...
00:35:38Unlike you, Miss Rockwell is actually professional and respectable.
00:35:43Well, whatever you two are doing didn't seem very respectable to me.
00:35:48And what exactly did you see, Mr. Rockwell?
00:35:52Is it against company policy to have coffee and chat about business?
00:35:56Yeah.
00:35:57Well, that's my wife you're cozying up to.
00:35:59Word of advice.
00:36:04Don't touch a woman without her permission.
00:36:06I'm gonna fire you, and I'm gonna have you blacklisted in every company in this country.
00:36:11I'm the CEO.
00:36:12You're not firing anyone.
00:36:13Now get out of my office.
00:36:16Before I have Mr. Johnson call security.
00:36:18You're up to something, Vivian.
00:36:20And I'm gonna find out.
00:36:22And when I do, you'll be out in your ass with nothing.
00:36:25You tell the board that I would never screw over the company.
00:36:34Like, this is all Vivian's fault.
00:36:36All right.
00:36:40Oh, Daddy.
00:36:42Look, as your boss, I am ordering you to take that bitch Vivian down.
00:36:48I need you to find out what's going on between her and Eric Johnson.
00:36:52Can you handle that, sweetheart?
00:36:53You said you'd give me a raise after my think-file idea.
00:37:00Baby, when I'm CEO, you can have whatever you want.
00:37:03I promise.
00:37:06Not until then.
00:37:14Hey, you called the late meeting.
00:37:15I brought the bricks and deal files.
00:37:17You're a real tease, boss.
00:37:24I finally figured out what I want.
00:37:25Oh, yeah?
00:37:26What's that?
00:37:26I want you to take me to your VIP club right now.
00:37:35Tell me what else you want.
00:38:03Take me, goddammit.
00:38:06I mean, sir.
00:38:08Outside the office.
00:38:09I give the orders.
00:38:21Okay, wait.
00:38:21I can't look at me.
00:38:22Yes, you can.
00:38:24Tell me you're beautiful.
00:38:26What?
00:38:27I said, tell me you're beautiful.
00:38:31I'm beautiful.
00:38:35No?
00:38:36Say you're an amazing CEO.
00:38:38I'm an amazing CEO.
00:38:41Again.
00:38:41Good girl.
00:38:47Good girl.
00:39:03Good girl.
00:39:05Good girl.

00:39:10Good girl.
00:39:10Good girl.
00:39:12Little Miss Vanilla screwing her sister in a sex club.
00:39:16Mason's gonna love this.
00:39:18Ma'am, my photos are now.
00:39:19What? No!
00:39:20Get out of my club.
00:39:21You need hot girls at your pathetic little pervert den.
00:39:24Don't make me repeat myself. Let's go.
00:39:30What? You've got to be kidding me.
00:39:33What is this about?
00:39:36Hello?
00:39:37Viv, more bad news.
00:39:39Brixton Group is pulling out.
00:39:40What? What do you mean they're pulling out? We have a contract.
00:39:43I don't know what to tell you.
00:39:45They're willing to break the contract.
00:39:47The board is livid.
00:39:50I'll fix it.
00:39:54Fuck!
00:39:55Smooth, Viv. Very smooth.
00:39:58Get out. Out.

00:40:13I am in talks with their CEO.
00:40:15I have our top people working on securing replacements.
00:40:18The situation will be contained.
00:40:20This situation shouldn't have happened to begin with.
00:40:23We need results, not promises.
00:40:24We need results, not promises.
00:40:26And what is it that you are implying?
00:40:30If you can't rectify this, the board will be forced to hold a vote of no confidence.
00:40:39Oh, no.
00:40:40No.
00:40:41I'm leaving.

00:47:10Something that's big.
00:47:14It's very mysterious of you.
00:47:16Mystery is fun.
00:47:18Aw.
00:47:19Besides, you owe me for distracting me in the office.
00:47:22No, I don't recall distracting anyone.
00:47:25Really?
00:47:26Mm-hmm.
00:47:27What do you call what we just did?
00:47:29Maybe a little distraction.
00:47:31Mm-hmm.
00:47:31Can I ask you something?
00:47:37What is the heir to the Johnson Group doing working for me as an assistant?
00:47:44I'm just trying to provide for my mom after my dad lost the company, the money, everything.
00:47:54I really admire that.
00:47:58You have great work ethic.
00:48:00You're dedicated.
00:48:02Loyal.
00:48:05I'm going to talk to HR about a race.
00:48:07I don't want a handout.
00:48:08Trust me.
00:48:09It's not a handout.
00:48:12And you're pretty much the best assistant I've ever had.
00:48:14You've earned it.
00:48:15So, the night is still young.
00:48:25Uh-huh.
00:48:26Maybe we could go to the club and end it with a bang.
00:48:31Come on.
00:48:33Yes, sir.
00:48:34Do you trust me?
00:48:50Yes, sir.
00:48:51Remember your safe word?
00:48:52Strawberry.
00:48:55Give me your hands.
00:49:04You're not the CEO of Rockwell here.
00:49:10You don't have to command, control, or carry anyone else.
00:49:16Tonight, you're mine.
00:49:19Okay.
00:49:24Tell me.
00:49:25What is it that you want?
00:49:27I want to stop thinking.
00:49:29I want to stop fighting all this.
00:49:31I just...
00:49:32I just want to let go.
00:49:33And surrender.
00:49:36Put these here.
00:49:37And don't move them.
00:49:39Yes.
00:49:45That's it.
00:49:46Let go.
00:49:47No boardroom.
00:49:48No bullshit.
00:49:50Just you and the freedom.
00:49:52To feel.
00:49:58Look at you.
00:49:59So powerful and surrender.
00:50:02Every inch of you.
00:50:03Is mine tonight.
00:50:04Is mine tonight.
00:50:04Oh, perfect.
00:50:22Just what I need when the audit starts tomorrow.
00:50:24Attention, Ms. Rockwell.
00:50:25An anonymous complaint has been submitted regarding behavior by senior leadership that may constitute
00:50:31a violation of company policy on workplace relationships, professional conduct while no
00:50:36names were given.
00:50:38And the description strongly implies an inappropriate relationship between a member of the executive
00:50:44team and a subordinate shit.
00:50:47Shit, shit.
00:50:49Hey.
00:50:50Hey.
00:50:51How are you doing?
00:50:51You good?
00:50:52I'm just checking on you.
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:54Why?
00:50:54Why?
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:55Well, aside from you just freaking out a moment ago, there's something you should see.
00:51:01Now what?
00:51:02Someone leaked photos of us kissing outside the club.
00:51:04Are they talking about Vivian?
00:51:06They're together.
00:51:07Are you seeing this?
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:09Wow.
00:51:30Maybe we can fix this.
00:51:31No, no, no, no.
00:51:32Eric.
00:51:33Vivian.
00:51:34Whatever this is, whatever this is, it's over, okay?
00:51:37I can't, I cannot do this anymore.
00:51:39Vivian.
00:51:40No.
00:51:40No, I swear to you, everything I've ever worked for in my entire life is vanishing right
00:51:46in front of my eyes.
00:51:46And for what?
00:51:47For what?
00:51:48Some quick fuck with a kid?
00:51:51After all this, that's what you see this is.
00:51:53How did they get those photos?
00:51:54Have you, have you been playing me this entire time?
00:52:04Did you, did you just take that million dollars from Mason?
00:52:07You just try to sabotage me, humiliate me?
00:52:10What?
00:52:10No, of course not.
00:52:11How could you think that?
00:52:12How else would they get the photos, Eric?
00:52:14Vivian, do you really think I would betray you like that?
00:52:16I don't know.
00:52:17I don't know what to believe anymore.
00:52:21You know, maybe that's your problem.
00:52:22Your trust issues and those fucking walls you put up will ruin any good thing that you
00:52:28have in your life.
00:52:31No, look, just fuck this.
00:52:32Consider this my resignation notes.
00:52:41Oh, God.
00:52:43Now what?
00:52:46Open it.
00:52:50You're exhausting.
00:52:52You have two options, Viv.
00:52:58You can end the affair or we'll release everything.
00:53:02To the investors, the board, the press, everyone.
00:53:07You could kiss your reputation goodbye and your company.
00:53:11There is no affair.
00:53:13Oh, really?
00:53:13Perhaps we should ask the board of these pictures.
00:53:17Not an affair.
00:53:22What do you two want?
00:53:24Simple, really.
00:53:25You step down, quietly.
00:53:28You name Mason your new CEO and me, your chief strategy officer.
00:53:32Look, you do this and no way we'll see the rest of these pictures.
00:53:38And you can live out the rest of your pathetic little life being a cougar with that little
00:53:44boy toy of yours.
00:53:45I had a feeling you'd see it our way.
00:53:49To the board of Rockwell Inc., I have disgraced our company with my actions.
00:53:57Hereby resign as CEO.
00:53:59CEO.
00:54:08You're not thinking about sending that, are you?
00:54:11I don't have a choice.
00:54:14Danielle and Mason are blackmailing me.
00:54:16Blackmailing?
00:54:16Yeah.
00:54:18How?
00:54:18Well, not only do they have the photos of us kissing, they have photos of us being
00:54:23intimate and leaving the Velvet Room.
00:54:26Fuck.
00:54:28Okay, what do they want?
00:54:31For me to step down as CEO, and if I don't, they're gonna leak it.
00:54:35No, Viv.
00:54:36See, this is exactly why I put my guard up.
00:54:38I let it slip, and now I'm losing everything.
00:54:40Then we fight them.
00:54:42Okay, we can't give them an inch.
00:54:45How?
00:54:45How are we supposed to do that?
00:54:48I have an idea.
00:55:00This gets ugly.
00:55:03Are you with me?
00:55:11You built this company.
00:55:14I don't work for Mason.
00:55:15I work for you.
00:55:20Are you sure you want to do this?
00:55:22Yes.
00:55:23I'm sure.
00:55:24Someone once told me that I need to let go of control to truly be free.
00:55:29Regardless of what happens, I need to be me.
00:55:35I need to be free.
00:55:37Well, let the shit show begin.
00:55:41Eric, I need to be free.
00:55:42I need to be free.
00:55:43I need to be free.
00:55:43I need to be free.
00:55:44I need to be free.
00:55:45I need to be free.
00:55:46I need to be free.
00:55:48Don't mention it.
00:55:49I'm so sorry for doubting you and accusing you.
00:55:54Apology accepted.
00:55:55I hope you know I would never do anything to hurt you.
00:55:59This is real.
00:56:00These feelings are real.
00:56:02Let's hope they're real enough to handle the fallout.
00:56:10God, what a nightmare.
00:56:12I can't believe I agreed to do this.
00:56:14Just see it through.
00:56:24Ms. Rockwell, the press are calling for interviews.
00:56:29Schedule a press conference.
00:56:31Now.
00:56:34I would like to address the recent headlines directly.
00:56:37It's true that I was involved with someone who worked for me.
00:56:41That was a mistake, and for that, I apologize.
00:56:45At the same time, I want to acknowledge that desire, authenticity, vulnerability,
00:56:53the things that make us human can be messy.
00:56:56I will not apologize for being human.
00:56:59Moving forward, I will serve Rockwell, Inc. with clarity and accountability
00:57:06because it deserves nothing less.
00:57:11You were brilliant, as usual.
00:57:18Now we turn the tables on Mason and Danielle.
00:57:27Well, I'm going to be Rockwell's new CEO.
00:57:30Before we begin discussing the future of this company,
00:57:34I have something that I would like to submit to HR and the board.
00:57:38This is documented evidence of an affair between senior executive Mason Jones and his subordinate, Danielle Green, along with financial mismanagement, internal ethics violations and fraudulent company records.
00:57:57This is substantial.
00:57:59This is bullshit, Vivian.
00:58:01I expect appropriate action to be taken immediately.
00:58:04Of course, I will cooperate with any investigation.
00:58:07No.
00:58:08You will have your opportunity to respond through HR.
00:58:13You will not respond right now and not to this board.
00:58:17I have always prioritized the success of Rockwell, Inc.
00:58:24of my own feelings.
00:58:26Now it's time that our leadership do the same.
00:58:30Well, this changes everything.
00:58:35Come on, please.
00:58:36Vivian is using personal relationships in order to distract from the fact that the company's financials are slipping under her watch.
00:58:48Rockwell, Inc. needs new leadership.
00:58:51Yeah.
00:58:52Since I started, our initiative has doubled in revenue.
00:58:56Vivian is just out for revenge because her own little inter-office affair was exposed.
00:59:01Speak of the devil.
00:59:06This is the little boy toy himself.
00:59:09This meeting is for senior leadership only.
00:59:13I think you'll all be interested in what I have to offer.
00:59:16Now, these statements corroborate Mrs. Rockwell's concerns perfectly.
00:59:21As you can see, the documents show that Danielle has been attempting to hide misconduct
00:59:26and the financial inconsistencies lead directly back to Mason's management.
00:59:32What a mess.
00:59:34To ensure the assets of Rockwell, Inc., a call is needed to vote for a new CEO.
00:59:40The choice is between Vivian Rockwell and Mason Jones.
00:59:51Relax.
00:59:52I know things seem bleak, but we still have some on our side.
00:59:56No, it's not over until the fat lady sings.
00:59:59That's right.
01:00:00Look, no matter what happens, I've got you, okay?
01:00:05I don't know this like how many.
01:00:06You won't.
01:00:13This could change everything.
01:00:15We have to be fair.
01:00:17Evidence exists on both sides.
01:00:19All the votes have been cast.
01:00:28Let's count them.
01:00:32Just breathe.
01:00:34It's okay.
01:00:36This is it.
01:00:37We got this.
01:00:38And the final vote...
01:00:43Is...
01:00:50The votes are unanimous.
01:00:54Vivian Rockwell, you will remain the CEO.
01:00:58Mason Jones, you are to be removed from the company effective immediately.
01:01:04Danielle Green, we expect your resignation forthright.
01:01:08This is absurd.
01:01:10You can't, you can't oust me for, for, with violence and bad paperwork?
01:01:14Come on.
01:01:15We've invested just as much to this company as this crown, and this is how it ends?
01:01:18Well, actually, Danielle, it ended when you betrayed the company.
01:01:23All things done in the dark will one day come to light.
01:01:26Don't forget, Vivian, we're married.
01:01:30So that means part of Rockwell, Inc., well, it belongs to me.
01:01:35Well, that's not what our prenup said.
01:01:37I'm divorcing you, Mason.
01:01:39No.
01:01:41No.
01:01:42I'll refuse to resign.
01:01:44I'll sue.
01:01:45I'll go to the media.
01:01:46The board is going to regret this.
01:01:49That is enough.
01:01:51If the two of you don't remove yourselves from the premises immediately, security will gladly escort you out.
01:02:00That won't be necessary.
01:02:02Careful, sweetie.
01:02:08Careful.
01:02:09Careful.
01:02:11Ms. Rockwell, need I remind you that our decision does not excuse your behavior.
01:02:19You're a senior employee sleeping with a subordinate.
01:02:23I understand.
01:02:24And again, I apologize for blurring any boundaries, but let me be very clear.
01:02:32I'm not sleeping with Eric.
01:02:36I'm in love.
01:02:40What did you say?
01:02:43Let me be very transparent.
01:02:45I will be exploring a relationship with Eric.
01:02:48And if anyone here has a problem with that, I will resign.
01:02:52Vivian, you don't have to do this, you know.
01:02:56Some risks are worth taking.
01:02:58Well, we will allow the relationship on one condition.
01:03:08What is that?
01:03:10That he be placed in a different department and cannot work under you in any capacity.
01:03:17I can agree to that.
01:03:18Then, this meeting is adjourned.
01:03:29Listen, I'm proud of how you handled everything back there.
01:03:32Let's hope I never have to do something like that again.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:37There is one thing I didn't address, though.
01:03:39What's that?
01:03:41I'm in love with you too, Vivian.
01:03:52See?
01:03:54You don't have to choose between power or love.
01:03:56Because they're both yours.
01:03:58Just like how you're mine.
01:03:59Take me to the pelvic room to celebrate.
01:04:03Sir?
01:04:05How very unprofessional of you, Miss Rockwell.
01:04:12Good girl.
