00:16:22But I was your boss.
00:16:27I'll go get some ice.
00:16:29Wait.
00:16:33I don't just need ice.
00:16:36I need you.
00:16:38The board wants me out.
00:16:40My husband's trying to ruin me.
00:16:42My entire life is out of control.
00:16:46Stay.
00:16:47Keep telling me what to do.
00:16:50Are you sure that's what you want?
00:16:53Yes, sir.
00:16:56Give me your ankle.
00:16:57Yes, sir.
00:16:57You need to stop pretending you can carry this all on your own.
00:17:05You sit.
00:17:06You breathe.
00:17:08You let someone take care of you for once.
00:17:10What if what I want isn't very professional?
00:17:18Then tell me.
00:17:21And I'll give it to you.
00:17:22Well, isn't this interesting?
00:17:33Well, isn't this interesting?
00:17:33Eric 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.
00:17:57Okay.
00:17:58Look, I know that Mason is charming.
00:18:03And he's your boss.
00:18:04So it's very hard to say no.
00:18:07But if he's taking advantage of you in any way, I can...
00:18:10Honestly, you'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?
00:18:24Fire me?
00:18:26Mason won't let you.
00:18:28He'll ruin you.
00:18:29Soon, I'll be the new Mrs. Rockwell, and you'll be yesterday's trash.
00:18:35Is there a problem here?
00:18:40See 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 woman.
00:19:10You are the prime.
00:19:11You're what everyone else is scrambling to catch up to.
00:19:14You're just saying that.
00:19:16Only you can see how incredible you are.
00:19:19You're the most beautiful, powerful woman I've ever met.
00:19:25No wonder you want to control me.
00:19:27You're 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.
00:19:42It's honest.
00:19:43Rob.
00:19:44It'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?
00:20:20They lost their company a few months back.
00:20:22Huge scandal.
00:20:24Find out what happened.
00:20:25Vivian, you came?
00:20:39Shh.
00:20:40Don'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.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:53Are 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.
00:21:11I asked you to show me.
00:21:15I'm not going anywhere.
00:21:17Then follow me.
00:21:17And here with me, you don't have to worry about your company, your personal life, just a baby.
00:21:30Yes, sir.
00:21:31I said strip.
00:21:47Let me see that perfect body of yours.
00:21:48I 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, I don't know, your age.
00:22:06I'm not settling for you.
00:22:09You're here because I want you.
00:22:12Have you ever been spanked before?
00:22:13I want to try.
00:22:17Yes, sir.
00:22:24Wait.
00:22:25Are you Gerald Johnson's son?
00:22:31Hey, but...
00:22:33So what?
00:22:34He's my biggest...
00:22:35Was my biggest competitor.
00:22:38Why are you working for me?
00:22:43You want to talk business, then?
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.
00:23:01I'm sorry.
00:23:01Look, just...
00:23:03It was fun, but you need to get some sleep.
00:23:07You have a meeting at 8 a.m.
00:23:18Look, I'm sorry, but I'm interested in someone else.
00:23:24Thank you very much for investing in Rockwell, Inc.
00:23:26I will have my assistant send over the contract.
00:23:29Miss Rockwell.
00:23:34What can I do for you?
00:23:35Well, I'm certainly not paying you to flirt with employees.
00:23:39Jealous?
00:23:41Of course not.
00:23:42Look, if you wanted me to be a one-man woman, you could have just said so.
00:23:52Don'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.
00:24:07What 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 call-out.
00:24:19What is this?
00:24:27The last piece of preparation for the gala.
00:24:29Open it.
00:24:31Okay.
00:24:37Are you insane?
00:24:39I can't wear that.
00:24:40Why not?
00:24:41Because I'm a 40-year-old woman.
00:24:45It'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.
00:25:17Is that Vivian Rockwell?
00:25:18God, she looks incredible.
00:25:21Mason's a lucky guy.
00:25:24Shipping.
00:25:30Look, kid.
00:25:30I know who you are.
00:25:39And I know you need money.
00:25:44You don't know anything about me.
00:25:46No?
00:25:48Gerald Johnson's kid?
00:25:50Heir to the now-forgotten Johnson fortune.
00:25:53Your dad's bankrupt.
00:25:55Your mom's working on jobs.
00:25:56All right, what do you want?
00:25:57I'll give you one million dollars
00:25:59to sabotage Vivian
00:26:01and help me become CEO.
00:26:03What?
00:26:06A million dollars.
00:26:08And all I have to do is sabotage Vivian.
00:26:19You heard me?
00:26:20Think of your family.
00:26:27Yeah.
00:26:28Yeah, I'll think about it.
00:26:30Eric, no.
00:26:39Gentlemen, how are things going?
00:26:41Well, your recent numbers were way off, Vivian.
00:26:46The investors are furious.
00:26:49They're threatening to walk
00:26:50thanks to your sloppy numbers.
00:27:03Hi.
00:27:04Hi.
00:27:04I, uh, forgot my pen.
00:27:08Oops.
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.
00:27:20I mean, that does happen in older people.
00:27:22Every man here, including Eric,
00:27:28is here to fuck me over.
00:27:29Like I said, I don't make...
00:27:32Pardon the intrusion,
00:27:34but I couldn't help overhearing.
00:27:35I actually tracked down
00:27:36an uncorrupted version of the file
00:27:38with the proper projections.
00:27:40They'll be sent to the investors
00:27:41first thing tomorrow morning.
00:27:42Is he helping me?
00:27:44Dan, I can assure you, gentlemen,
00:27:45the investors will be very,
00:27:47very satisfied with the numbers.
00:27:48Well, it looks like
00:27:50you've saved the day, young man.
00:27:53Good assistants are hard to find, Vivian.
00:27:55Make sure you keep him.
00:27:57Gentlemen.
00:27:57Yes.
00:28:01You just kissed one million dollars.
00:28:03Goodbye, kid.
00:28:06I'm loyal to my boss,
00:28:08Vivian Rockwell.
00:28:18Why 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?
00:28:30You heard that.
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:31If you think I'm just gonna sit around
00:28:33and let you sabotage me,
00:28:35you've got another thing coming.
00:28:36I'm not out to sabotage you, Vivian.
00:28:38I want to help you.
00:28:43Okay.
00:28:44You can relax around me.
00:28:46But I'm your boss, okay?
00:28:51So it's my job to be strong
00:28:52and in control.
00:28:54Vivian,
00:28:55you're stronger than concrete.
00:28:57No.
00:28:58Okay, but even concrete
00:28:59cracks under too much pressure.
00:29:01Let me hold some of the weight for you.
00:29:05I'll hold you.
00:29:06I just need you to trust me.
00:29:07What?
00:29:27We can't do this.
00:29:29I mean, I'm not just some young girl
00:29:30that 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,
00:29:41but out here in the real world too.
00:29:53It'd be the death to me, Vivian Rockwell.
00:29:58Hey, Vivian.
00:29:59Hey, let me help with those Sinclair files.
00:30:00Uh, no.
00:30:01I got it.
00:30:01Come to lunch with me.
00:30:11Camp, I have a call with clients
00:30:13in five minutes.
00:30:14That's funny.
00:30:15I don't remember seeing that on your calendar.
00:30:18It's just scheduled.
00:30:20Don't lie to me.
00:30:22Mason is doing everything he can
00:30:23to steal the company I built.
00:30:25So I can't let anyone control me
00:30:28ever again.
00:30:29Not Mason,
00:30:30not you.
00:30:30I don't want to control you,
00:30:33Vivian.
00:30:35You want to put a collar on me
00:30:37and tell me what to do.
00:30:38You just don't get it.
00:30:40Even though I want to tie you up,
00:30:43all I want to do is set you free.
00:30:51See what happens
00:30:52when you let go of a little control?
00:30:54Stop talking before I change my mind.
00:30:58Then get on the table.
00:31:00Let her skirt up.
00:31:18Licks are screwed up.
00:31:22What? We're at the office.
00:31:24I told you to trust me.
00:31:37Shh.
00:31:43Don't want anyone hearing me.
00:31:48Shh.
00:31:52Hello?
00:31:54Anybody here?
00:32:13That was way too close. He almost caught us.
00:32:16It's fine. He didn't see us.
00:32:18Yeah. Easy for you to say. You have your whole life ahead of you.
00:32:22You don't know what it's like to have a company and a reputation to lose.
00:32:26You know, I just forget it. I'm done playing hot and cold with you.
00:32:31Eric, I didn't...
00:32:32Rockwell is not selling a product. We sell trust and innovation. Our numbers speak for themselves.
00:32:46Is this a joke? You're losing millions. I'm pulling my investments.
00:32:53Our numbers are high.
00:32:55Unacceptable.
00:32:57These are the wrong numbers. I swear, your investments are safe here at Rockwell.
00:33:02What the hell is this, Vivian? Explain yourself.
00:33:10I apologize. These documents are not reflective of Rockwell's upward trajectory. I will look into this.
00:33:17A CEO who can't manage her own money? I'm out. Unacceptable.
00:33:22Wait.
00:33:24Gentlemen.
00:33:24Hey, Josh.
00:33:25Do you have that coffee you ordered?
00:33:29Right here, sir.
00:33:30Also, you have 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?
00:33:54Eric, wait. Mr. Johnson.
00:33:56We are on that.
00:34:01Just trust me.
00:34:07Is that Mason Rockwell?
00:34:13Mr. 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.
00:34:26Your coffee bus.
00:34:34Eric, 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.
00:34:49The 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.
00:35:10I can't hide anything from you.
00:35:13I'm scared.
00:35:15Don't be.
00:35:15How dare your pathetic assistant ba-
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.
00:35:37Okay, Mason.
00:35:37No, unlike you, Miss Rockwell is actually professional.
00:35:41And respectable.
00:35:44Well, whatever you two are doing, it 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?
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:57Well, that's my wife you're cozying up to.
00:36:03Word of advice.
00:36:04Don't touch a woman without her permission.
00:36:06I'm going to fire you, and I'm going to have you blacklisted in every company in this country.
00:36:11I'm the CEO.
00:36:12You're not firing anyone.
00:36:14Now, get out of my office before I have Mr. Johnson call security.
00:36:19You're up to something, Vivian.
00:36:20And I'm going to 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.
00:36:34This is all Vivian's fault.
00:36:37All right.
00:36:40Oh, daddy.
00:36:43Look, 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?
00:36:57You said you'd give me a raise after my fake file idea.
00:37:00Baby, when I'm CEO, you can have whatever you want.
00:37:04I promise.
00:37:04Not until then.
00:37:14Hey, you called the late meeting.
00:37:16I brought the bricks and deal files.
00:37:22You're a real tease, boss.
00:37:24I only 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.
00:37:56Tell me what else you want.
00:38:04Take me, goddammit.
00:38:06I mean, sir.
00:38:08Outside the office.
00:38:09I give the orders.
00:38:21Okay, wait.
00:38:22I 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, boss.
00:38:35Now?
00:38:36Say you're an amazing CEO.
00:38:39I'm an amazing CEO.
00:38:41Again.
00:38:42I'm beautiful, and I'm an amazing CEO.
00:38:46Good girl.
00:38:47Good girl.
00:38:56Little Miss Vanilla screwing her sister in a sex club.
00:39:16Mason's going to love this.
00:39:18Ben, I'll pull this in the house.
00:39:20What?
00:39:20No.
00:39:21Get out of my club.
00:39:21You need hot girls at your pathetic little pervert den.
00:39:25Don't make me repeat myself.
00:39:26Let's go.
00:39:31What?
00:39:31You've got to be kidding me.
00:39:33What is this about?
00:39:37Hello?
00:39:37Viv.
00:39:38More bad news.
00:39:39Brixton Group is pulling out.
00:39:41What?
00:39:41What do you mean they're pulling out?
00:39:43We have a contract.
00:39:43I don't know what to tell you.
00:39:45They're willing to break the contract.
00:39:48The board is livid.
00:39:50I'll fix it.
00:39:54Fuck!
00:39:55Oh, smooth, Viv.
00:39:57Very smooth.
00:39:58Get out.
00:39:59Out.
00:40:00Just wanted to wish you luck at the meeting later.
00:40:03You're going to need it.
00:40:07Brixton Group just pulled their contract.
00:40:11Investors are spooked.
00:40:12We have a problem.
00:40:14I am in talks with their CEO.
00:40:16I have our top people working on securing replacements.
00:40:19The situation will be contained.
00:40:21This situation shouldn't have happened to begin with.
00:40:24We need results, not promises.
00:40:26And what is it that you are implying?
00:40:34If you can't rectify this, the board will be forced to hold a vote of no confidence.
00:40:42Mason has the board eating out of his hand, and I'm pretty sure they're going to vote me out.
00:41:04Then we fight it together.
00:41:06Okay.
00:41:07The last thing I need is the board finding out about our relationship.
00:41:11So, cool it.
00:41:12Relationship?
00:41:14Glad we're finally calling you what it is.
00:41:15Is that a joke to you?
00:41:18What?
00:41:18Dad, serious.
00:41:19Vivian.
00:41:19This is everything I've ever worked for.
00:41:21Blood, sweat, tears.
00:41:22My entire life's work.
00:41:24I'm not going to risk it all for a fling with some boy.
00:41:27Fling.
00:41:29Fling.
00:41:30So we went from relationship to fling?
00:41:33What's next?
00:41:33A mistake?
00:41:35Come on, Eric.
00:41:35Forget it.
00:41:39Eric.
00:41:40Eric.
00:41:44You'll never believe what I saw last night.
00:41:46What?
00:41:47Vivian.
00:41:48At a BDSM club.
00:41:50No way.
00:41:51Vivian wouldn't even know what BDSM means.
00:41:54Look.
00:41:55I have photos.
00:41:59Well, I'll be damned.
00:42:01You know, if we can catch them doing this in the office,
00:42:06that is an HR violation.
00:42:10That's exactly what we need to take that old hag down.
00:42:18The board meeting is happening now.
00:42:20What?
00:42:21That's impossible.
00:42:22It doesn't start for another hour.
00:42:23I know, I know.
00:42:24Mason moved it up and Danielle let it slip in the break room.
00:42:26We got to go.
00:42:27That bastard.
00:42:28I know they're trying to sabotage me again.
00:42:30Go.
00:42:31If we redirect company resources...
00:42:34Oh, how nice of you to join us.
00:42:37Please, continue.
00:42:40Like I was saying,
00:42:41if we redirect the company's resources into this expansion...
00:42:44Too risky.
00:42:45Quite frankly, foolish.
00:42:48I'm afraid I disagree.
00:42:49That's because you don't have the years of experience that it takes to recognize a poison chalice in your seawater.
00:42:56Or doesn't need risky ambition.
00:42:59They need results.
00:43:01Ideas like this are exactly why Rockwell is still standing.
00:43:06You've always had great instinct, Vivian.
00:43:08Wisdom and experience.
00:43:10That's what this company needs right now.
00:43:12Not gambles and risks.
00:43:13Oh, so what, Mason?
00:43:33Mason, you just sleeping with Danielle, or are you guys working together to just kick me out?
00:43:38I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:43:44Oh, cut the bullshit.
00:43:45It's obvious the two of you are trying to undermine me.
00:43:48Does it even matter?
00:43:50I mean, she is outperforming you.
00:43:52In every way possible.
00:43:54You want to cheat?
00:43:55Go ahead.
00:43:57Cheat?
00:43:58Leave my company out of it.
00:44:00You're not as innocent as you like you tend to be.
00:44:02And what exactly are you implying?
00:44:08Huh?
00:44:10You already know.
00:44:23Be careful whose side you pick.
00:44:26Remember who the hell hired you.
00:44:32You wanted to see me, boss?
00:44:35Yes.
00:44:37First of all, thank you for alerting me of the meeting time change.
00:44:41It's my job.
00:44:43Secondly, I want to apologize about earlier.
00:44:50I shouldn't have taken my frustrations out on you, and I'm sorry.
00:44:54Vivian.
00:44:55No, stop.
00:44:56Let me explain.
00:44:56I was raised to believe that power is everything, and emotions, especially love, are a weakness.
00:45:08So I built walls to protect myself from being vulnerable, and the one time I let someone
00:45:14in, he just destroyed me.
00:45:18Mason.
00:45:19Yeah.
00:45:21Mason is an idiot.
00:45:22I mean, think about it.
00:45:23Only a fool would ruin something with an incredible woman like that.
00:45:25Why are you attracted to me?
00:45:27Because you're brilliant.
00:45:30You're strong.
00:45:31You're independent.
00:45:33And, well, sexy as hell, too.
00:45:35Okay.
00:45:38How is someone your age so perfect?
00:45:47Are you really going to let something like that stay between us?
00:45:50I...
00:45:51Wait, stop.
00:46:08We can't, we can't, we can't do this here.
00:46:11We shouldn't.
00:46:11We certainly should.
00:46:17We can't do this here.
00:46:36What are you doing?
00:46:50Shhh.
00:46:52Run around.
00:47:01Gotcha.
00:47:06What are you doing after work?
00:47:09Maybe we could do something.
00:47:11Something that's vague, that's very mysterious of you.
00:47:17Mystery is fun.
00:47:18Aww.
00:47:19Besides, you owe me for distracting me in the office.
00:47:23No, 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.
00:47:36Can I ask you something?
00:47:39What is the heir to the Johnson Group doing working for me as an assistant?
00:47:48I'm just trying to provide for my mom.
00:47:51After my dad lost the company, the money, everything.
00:47:55I really admire that.
00:47:59You have great work ethic.
00:48:01You're dedicated.
00:48:02Loyal.
00:48:03I'm gonna 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.
00:48:11And you're pretty much the best assistant I've ever had.
00:48:15You've earned it.
00:48:22So, 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?
00:48:53Strawberry.
00:48:54Give me your hands.
00:49:04You're not the CEO of Rockwell here.
00:49:11You don't have to command, control, or carry anyone else.
00:49:16Tonight, you're mine.
00:49:24Tell me, what is it that you want?
00:49:27I want to stop thinking.
00:49:30I want to stop fighting all this.
00:49:31I just, I just want to let go.
00:49:34And surrender.
00:49:36Put these here, and don't move them.
00:49:39Yes, sir.
00:49:45That's it.
00:49:46Let go.
00:49:47No boardroom, no bullshit.
00:49:50Just you and the freedom to feel.
00:49:59Look at you.
00:50:00So powerful in surrender.
00:50:02Every inch of you is mine tonight.
00:50:05Oh, perfect.
00:50:07Just what I need when the audit starts tomorrow.
00:50:15Attention, Ms. Rockwell, an anonymous complaint has been submitted regarding behavior by senior leadership that may constitute a violation of company policy on workplace relationships, professional conduct, while no names were given.
00:50:28The description strongly implies an inappropriate relationship between an inappropriate relationship between a member of the executive team and a subordinate.
00:50:46And it's shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
00:50:48Hey, hey.
00:50:49How are you doing?
00:50:50You good?
00:50:51I'm just checking on you.
00:50:52Yeah, why?
00:50:53Yeah.
00:50:54Well, aside from you just freaking out a moment ago, there's something you should see.
00:50:59Now what?
00:51:00Someone leaked photos of us kissing outside the club.
00:51:04Are they talking about Vivian?
00:51:05They're together.
00:51:06Are you seeing this?
00:51:07Yeah.
00:51:08Wow.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:10Wow.
00:51:11Maybe we can fix this.
00:51:16No.
00:51:17No, no, no.
00:51:18Eric.
00:51:19Vivian.
00:51:20Whatever this is, whatever this is, it's over, okay?
00:51:24I can't, I cannot do this anymore.
00:51:32Vivian.
00:51:33No.
00:51:34No.
00:51:35No, no.
00:51:36Eric.
00:51:37Vivian.
00:51:38Whatever this is, whatever this is, it's over, okay?
00:51:39I can't do- I cannot do this anymore.
00:51:40Vivian.
00:51:41No.
00:51:42No, I swear you, with everything I've ever worked for in my entire life, it is vanishing right
00:51:49in front of my eyes, and for what?
00:51:50For what?
00:51:51Some quick fuck with a kid?
00:51:52After all this, that's what you see this as?
00:51:53How did they get those photos?
00:52:01Have you been playing me this entire time?
00:52:05Did you just take that million dollars from Mason?
00:52:08You just try to sabotage me, humiliate me?
00:52:10No, of course not. How could you think that?
00:52:12How else would they get the photos, Eric?
00:52:15Babin, do you really think I would betray you like that?
00:52:17I don't know. I don't know what to believe anymore.
00:52:21You know, maybe that's your problem.
00:52:24Your trust issues and those fucking walls you put up
00:52:27will ruin any good thing that you have in your life.
00:52:31No, just fuck this. Consider this my resignation notes.
00:52:41Oh, God.
00:52:43Now what?
00:52:47Open it.
00:52:50You are exhausting.
00:52:53You 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 can kiss your reputation goodbye and your company.
00:53:12There is no affair.
00:53:13Oh, really?
00:53:15Perhaps we should ask the board if these pictures, not an affair.
00:53:18What do you two want?
00:53:24It's simple, really.
00:53:26You step down, quietly.
00:53:28You name Mason your new CEO and me, your chief strategy officer.
00:53:32Look, you do this and nobody will see the rest of these pictures and you can live out the rest of your pathetic little life being a cougar with that little boy 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.
00:54:00You're not thinking about sending that, are you?
00:54:12I don't have a choice.
00:54:14Danielle and Mason are blackmailing me.
00:54:16Blackmailing?
00:54:17Yeah.
00:54:18How?
00:54:19Well, not only do they have the photos of us kissing, they have photos of us being intimate 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 going to 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.
00:54:41Then we fight them.
00:54:43Okay, we can't give them an inch.
00:54:45How?
00:54:46How are we supposed to do that?
00:54:53I have an idea.
00:54:56This gets ugly.
00:55:03Are you with me?
00:55:12You built this company.
00:55:14I don't work for Mason.
00:55:16I 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.
00:55:31Regardless of what happens, I need to be me.
00:55:36I need to be free.
00:55:38Well, let the shit show begin.
00:55:41Eric, I'm...
00:55:48Don't mention it.
00:55:49I'm so sorry for doubting you and accusing you.
00:55:54Apology accepted.
00:55:56And I hope you know I would never do anything to hurt you.
00:55:59This is real.
00:56:00These feelings are real.
00:56:01Let's hope they're real enough to handle the fallout.
00:56:04Thank God, what a nightmare.
00:56:12I can't believe I agreed to do this.
00:56:23Just see it through.
00:56:25Miss Rockwell, the press are calling for interviews.
00:56:29Schedule a press conference.
00:56:31Now.
00:56:31I would like to address the recent headlines directly.
00:56:37It's true that I was involved with someone who worked for me.
00:56:42That was a mistake.
00:56:43And for that, I apologize.
00:56:45At the same time, I want to acknowledge that desire, authenticity, vulnerability,
00:56:52the things that make us human can be messy.
00:56:57I will not apologize for being human.
00:56:59Moving forward, I will serve Rockwell, Inc. with clarity and accountability because it
00:57:06deserves nothing less.
00:57:16You were brilliant, as usual.
00:57:19Now we turn the tables on Mason and Danielle.
00:57:22Well, I'm going to be Rockwell's new CEO.
00:57:31Before I begin discussing the future of this company, I have something that I would like
00:57:36to submit to HR and the board.
00:57:40This is documented evidence of an affair between senior executive Mason Jones and his subordinate,
00:57:49Danielle 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.
00:58:05Of course, I will cooperate with any investigation.
00:58:08Okay, let me just tell you.
00:58:10No.
00:58:10You will have your opportunity to respond through HR.
00:58:14You will not respond right now and not to this board.
00:58:17I have always prioritized the success of Rockwelling above my own feelings.
00:58:26Now it's time that our leadership do the same.
00:58:32Well, this changes everything.
00:58:35Come on, please.
00:58:39Vivian is using personal relationships in order to distract from the fact that the company's
00:58:45financials are slipping under her watch.
00:58:49Rockwell Inc. needs new leadership.
00:58:52Yeah.
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.
00:59:04Ha!
00:59:05Speak of the devil.
00:59:07Vivian's a little boy toy himself.
00:59:10Uh, this 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 and
00:59:26financial 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.
00:59:41The choice is between Vivian Rockwell and Mason Jones.
00:59:51Relax.
00:59:52I know things are bleak, but we still have some on our side.
00:59:56It's not over until the fat lady sings.
01:00:00That's right.
01:00:01Look, no matter what happens, I've got you.
01:00:05Okay?
01:00:05I don't know who's like helping.
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.
01:00:37Oh my God, please.
01:00:38And the final vote
01:00:39is
01:00:43The 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, for, with violence and bad paperwork?
01:01:14Come on.
01:01:14We've invested just as much to this company as this crone, 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.
01:01:29So that means part of Rockwell, Inc., well, it belongs to me.
01:01:35Well, that's not what our prenup said.
01:01:38I'm divorcing you, Mason.
01:01:40No, no.
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.
01:01:48That is enough.
01:01:49If 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.
01:02:06Careful, 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.
01:02:22I understand.
01:02:23And again, I apologize for blurring any boundaries.
01:02:28But 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?
01:02:43And let 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.
01:02:52You don't have to do this, you know.
01:02:56Some risks are worth taking.
01:03:01Well, we will allow the relationship on one condition.
01:03:09What is that?
01:03:09That he'd be placed in a different department and cannot work under you in any capacity.
01:03:17I can agree to that.
01:03:19Then, this meeting is adjourned.
01:03:24Listen, 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.
01:03:40What's that?
01:03:42I'm in love with you, too, Vivian.
01:03:43See?
01:03:54You don't have to choose between power and life.
01:03:56Because they're both yours.
01:03:58Just like how you're mine.
01:04:01Take me to the pelvic room to celebrate, sir.
01:04:04How very unprofessional of you, Miss Rockwell.
01:04:11Good girl.
01:04:12Good girl.
01:04:20Good girl.
01:04:22Good girl.
01:04:24Good girl.
01:04:26Good girl.
01:04:28Good girl.
01:04:30Good girl.
01:04:32Good girl.
