00:00:00Mason's always saying I should dress sexier.
00:00:13He'll be so surprised.
00:00:25Happy Anniversary, Mason.
00:00:28Mason?
00:00:32And that was just the appetizer.
00:00:34What the fuck is going on here?
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.
00:00:52I mean, come on. Look at you.
00:00:56Who exactly are you trying to impress here?
00:00:58I mean, that's not really flattering to your figure, babe.
00:01:02So 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.
00:01:10How's that working out for you, huh?
00:01:12The company's struggling.
00:01:14Investors are pulling out.
00:01:15The board is losing confidence in you.
00:01:17You asshole.
00:01:18You are finished!
00:01:36Watch where you're going!
00:01:37You're the one who-
00:01:43Someone's a lucky guy.
00:01:45No.
00:01:46Actually, he's a selfish idiot.
00:01:48Well, I hope you find someone worth your beautiful company.
00:01:53Hey!
00:02:08Hey!
00:02:09Hey! You dropped your cellphone!
00:02:23What the hell is this place?
00:02:36How are you trying to impress?
00:02:38You're old.
00:02:39Washed up.
00:02:43Members only.
00:02:44Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't, um...
00:02:47It's fine.
00:02:48She's with me.
00:02:54You dropped us.
00:02:59How'd you find me?
00:03:00There was a notification on your phones.
00:03:02Took a chance.
00:03:03Well, I'm glad you did.
00:03:05First time here?
00:03:06Is it that obvious?
00:03:08A little.
00:03:10But I mean, you're...
00:03:13Dressed the part, so...
00:03:21Yeah.
00:03:22I-I-I should go home.
00:03:23Everyone here is...
00:03:25Really young.
00:03:27How old are you?
00:03:29Okay, for your information,
00:03:30I know more about pleasuring than men twice my age.
00:03:34More stamina.
00:03:36More to prove.
00:03:38Come on, I'll show you.
00:03:52Up here is my private room.
00:03:59Up here is my private room.
00:04:03The IP zone.
00:04:04Up here is my private room.
00:04:05Up here.
00:04:06Up here is my private room.
00:04:07Up here.
00:04:08Up here.
00:04:09Up here.
00:04:31Then I'll fulfill every fancy you've ever had.
00:04:49What are you trying to hide?
00:04:52You're beautiful.
00:05:01I've never done anything like this before.
00:05:10It's okay.
00:05:11You're perfect just the way you are.
00:05:18Now trust me and be a good girl.
00:05:23Say, yes sir.
00:05:27Say it.
00:05:31Strawberry, 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.
00:05:44I don't care how old you-
00:05:45I'm sorry.
00:05:47I can't.
00:06:01Happy anniversary, wifey.
00:06:11You got a lot of nerve being here after that stunt.
00:06:14Oh.
00:06:15That, yeah.
00:06:16That girl, Danielle.
00:06:17She'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.
00:06:45We'll see about that.
00:06:48Well, I'm going to bed.
00:06:52Care to join me?
00:06:54Screw you, Mason.
00:07:10Mom, I promise I'm going to get the money.
00:07:23That sorry excuse of a sperm donor is not about to ruin the rest of our lives.
00:07:28With my strategy, we can increase market share by 25% in just two quarters.
00:07:33Well, 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?
00:07:56Slipping a little, aren't we?
00:08:07I apologize. I will be right back.
00:08:09Here we go.
00:08:24Your financial report is ready, Miss Rockwell.
00:08:27What are you doing to my office?
00:08:38I'm your new assistant.
00:08:41I'm your new assistant, Eric Johnson.
00:08:51Who the hell are you?
00:08:52Eric Johnson.
00:08:54Miss Rockwell's new assistant.
00:08:55Eric, I thought I hired an Erica.
00:09:01Does 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.
00:09:13I don't need help.
00:09:15I am the CEO of Rockwell Inc.
00:09:18You don't have the authority to hire anyone behind my back, Mason.
00:09:22Mrs. 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.
00:09:36I was just looking out for you.
00:09:38Everyone out now.
00:09:39Out.
00:09:42Out.
00:09:46Okay.
00:09:47Not you, Mason.
00:09:48Mason.
00:09:58Undermining me?
00:10:00You're just imagining things.
00:10:02Come on.
00:10:03We can talk about it at home.
00:10:04There is no home.
00:10:07At least not for you.
00:10:08I may not be able to fire you, Mason, but I sure as hell can kick you out of my house that I paid for.
00:10:19I'll have your stuff sent to you.
00:10:21Are you threatening me?
00:10:26You're gonna regret getting in my way, wifey.
00:10:37Asshole piece of shit!
00:10:40God, I wish I never married him.
00:10:42Miss Rockwell.
00:10:43Miss Rockwell.
00:10:44Finn.
00:10:49You're still here.
00:10:50Okay.
00:10:53There's been a very big mistake, so 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.
00:11:04That's what I'm here to do.
00:11:07I don't need anything from you.
00:11:09Even after last night?
00:11:17What 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.
00:11:48Already done.
00:11:50You've got back-to-back investor calls from 10 to noon, lunch with the New York merger lawyers at 1,
00:11:55and an internal finance check-in at 3.
00:11:59You did all of this homework before starting?
00:12:02Like I said, it's my job to anticipate all of your needs.
00:12:07You seem tense, Miss Rockwell.
00:12:20You know, I have a way of handling these things.
00:12:28Let me take control.
00:12:29Okay, so, Mr. Johnson, listen, last night was a mistake, okay?
00:12:43I'm married, I'm running this entire company, so I can't be messing around with my, what, 20-something assistant?
00:12:48Your marriage doesn't seem very happy.
00:12:53We were running this entire company together, so I can't get divorced, because it'll be a scandal in the press, and...
00:13:00You know what? None of your concern.
00:13:04What?
00:13:05I'm fine.
00:13:09But if you change your mind...
00:13:14You know where to find me.
00:13:36Have a seat.
00:13:39The board needs stability.
00:13:42They need me, as CEO.
00:13:44Not Biddy.
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?
00:13:55How I kept your name out of the press?
00:13:58Well, that's the same way that I can publicize it now.
00:14:00Convince the others.
00:14:04When the vote comes,
00:14:06Vivian falls.
00:14:10And I take the CEO chair.
00:14:12Well, no.
00:14:13No.
00:14:15There's nothing more.
00:14:25Wait, wait, wait.
00:14:29Whatever you guys want.
00:14:31Oh, stop, I couldn't do so.
00:14:33Kill?
00:14:34Shit!
00:14:35This is ridiculous.
00:14:42I am a grown woman with a husband and a company.
00:14:48Oops.
00:14:52Careful, Miss Rockwell.
00:14:55I'm fine.
00:15:00You say that like you prefer a brew strawberry.
00:15:02I've been here five minutes. You don't know anything about me.
00:15:32I'm fine.
00:15:34I'm fine.
00:15:36Ow.
00:15:37Yeah, yeah.
00:15:38Here, let me help you.
00:15:40Careful.
00:15:41Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:44Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:15:47All right, sorry.
00:15:48You're coming with food. I'll argue.
00:15:49Okay.
00:15:50Okay.
00:15:51Okay.
00:15:52I'm fine.
00:15:53Come on.
00:15:54Listen, you'll need ice, compression, and elevation.
00:15:56Okay.
00:15:57I'm fine.
00:15:58I'm fine.
00:15:59Come on.
00:16:00Listen, you'll need ice, compression, and elevation.
00:16:02Okay.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:04Okay.
00:16:06Okay.
00:16:07I'm fine.
00:16:08I'm fine.
00:16:09Come on.
00:16:10I'm fine.
00:16:11Come on.
00:16:12Listen, you'll need ice, compression, and elevation.
00:16:18I'm trying to keep your weight off of it, all right?
00:16:21But I was your boss.
00:16:27I'll go get some ice.
00:16:28Wait.
00:16:29I don't just need ice.
00:16:35I need you.
00:16:38The board wants me out.
00:16:39My husband's trying to ruin me.
00:16:41My entire life is out of control.
00:16:46Stay.
00:16:47Keep telling me what to do.
00:16:49Please.
00:16:50Are you sure that's what you want?
00:16:53Yes, sir.
00:16:55Give me your ankle.
00:16:56Yes, sir.
00:16:59You need to stop pretending you can carry this all on your own.
00:17:04You sit.
00:17:05You breathe.
00:17:07You let someone take care of you for once.
00:17:13But what if what I want isn't very professional?
00:17:17Then tell me.
00:17:21And I'll give it to you.
00:17:29Well, isn't this interesting?
00:17:40Eric 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.
00:17:52Not as your boss.
00:17:54As a woman.
00:17:56Okay.
00:17:57Look.
00:17:58I know that Mason is charming.
00:18:02And he's your boss.
00:18:03So 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.
00:18:14You're mad that I'm prettier, I'm younger, and I'm everything else that you're not.
00:18:21Watch it.
00:18:22What are you gonna do?
00:18:24Fire me?
00:18:26Mason won't let you.
00:18:27He'll ruin you.
00:18:28Soon, I'll be the new Mrs. Rockwell, and you'll be yesterday's trash.
00:18:35Is there a problem here?
00:18:44Nope.
00:18:45See 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.
00:19:18You're the most beautiful, powerful woman I've ever met.
00:19:24No wonder you want to control me.
00:19:26You 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.
00:19:35Dominance and submission isn't a game to me.
00:19:41It's honest.
00:19:45Raw.
00:19:48It's two people connecting on their deepest desires, completely exposed.
00:19:52Show me.
00:19:53If you're serious, then come find me at the club tomorrow night.
00:20:00You should take that.
00:20:07Roger, what did you find out about Mr. Johnson?
00:20:10Finding your guy was easier than I thought.
00:20:12Eric's the son of Gerald Johnson, disgraced head of the Johnson Group.
00:20:17Wait, what 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!
00:20:37You came!
00:20:39Don't say my name.
00:20:40Someone's going to hear you.
00:20:43What about Matt?
00:20:45I'm kidding.
00:20:47Good girl.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:49Are you going to put that on me?
00:20:54If you don't want to, then you can walk out that door and go home.
00:21:10I asked you to show me.
00:21:14I'm not going anywhere.
00:21:16Then follow me.
00:21:19And 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.
00:21:44I said strip.
00:21:46Let 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, I don't know.
00:22:05I'm not selling for you.
00:22:07You're here because I want you.
00:22:11Have you ever been spanked before?
00:22:14Want to try?
00:22:16Yes, sir.
00:22:24Wait.
00:22:25Are you Gerald Johnson's son?
00:22:26Hey, but...
00:22:27So what?
00:22:28He's my biggest...
00:22:29Was my biggest competitor.
00:22:31Why are you working for me?
00:22:33You want to talk business though?
00:22:34I need to know I can trust you.
00:22:35Just...
00:22:36Just...
00:22:37I don't work for Gerald Johnson.
00:22:38Okay?
00:22:39As far as I'm concerned, I'm no longer his son.
00:22:40I'm sorry.
00:22:41I...
00:22:42Look, just...
00:22:43It was fun.
00:22:44But you need to get some sleep.
00:22:45You have a meeting at 8 a.m.
00:22:46...
00:22:57I don't work for Gerald Johnson.
00:22:58Okay?
00:22:59As far as I'm concerned, I'm no longer his son.
00:23:01I'm sorry, I...
00:23:02Look, just...
00:23:03It was fun.
00:23:04But you need to get some sleep.
00:23:06You have a meeting at 8 a.m.
00:23:16Look, I'm sorry, but I'm interested in someone else.
00:23:23Thank 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?
00:23:34Well, I'm certainly not paying you to flirt with employees.
00:23:38Jealous?
00:23:40Of course I'm not.
00:23:41Look, if you wanted me to be a one-man woman, you could have just said so.
00:23:46Don't be ridiculous. We 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.
00:24:06What 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, and 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.
00:24:31Are 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.
00:24:48Put on the dress for me.
00:24:55If not, I'll have to punish you.
00:25:01What if I want to be punished?
00:25:02Yes, 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?
00:25:47Gerald Johnson's kid.
00:25:49Heir to the now-forgotten Johnson fortune.
00:25:53Your dad's bankrupt.
00:25:54Your mom's working on jobs.
00:25:56All right, what do you want?
00:25:57I'll give you one million dollars to sabotage Vivian and help me become CEO.
00:26:02What?
00:26:05A million dollars.
00:26:07And all I have to do is sabotage Vivian.
00:26:19You heard me?
00:26:22Think of your family.
00:26:27Yeah.
00:26:28Yeah, I'll think about it.
00:26:30Eric, no.
00:26:32Gentlemen, how are things going?
00:26:42Well, your recent numbers were way off, Vivian.
00:26:46The investors are furious.
00:26:48They're threatening to walk thanks to your sloppy numbers.
00:26:53Hi.
00:27:03Hi.
00:27:04I, uh, forgot my pen.
00:27:07Oops.
00:27:09Got it.
00:27:10Okay.
00:27:12Vanille did this.
00:27:14I don't make sloppy mistakes.
00:27:18Maybe it's dementia setting it.
00:27:19That does happen in older people.
00:27:25Every man here, including Eric, is here to fuck me over.
00:27:29Like I said, I don't make this.
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.
00:27:39They'll be sent to the investors first thing tomorrow morning.
00:27:41Is he helping me?
00:27:43Dan, 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.
00:27:57You 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?
00:28:22Stick 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.
00:28:35I'm not out to sabotage you, Vivian.
00:28:37Vivian, I want to help you.
00:28:42Okay.
00:28:43You can relax around me.
00:28:47But I'm your boss.
00:28:49Okay?
00:28:50So it's my job to be strong and in control.
00:28:53Vivian, you're stronger than concrete.
00:28:57Okay, but even concrete cracks under too much pressure.
00:29:00Let me hold some of the weight for you.
00:29:04I'll hold you.
00:29:05I just need you to trust me.
00:29:07What?
00:29:12I 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 any?
00:29:35It 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.
00:29:42It's going to be the death to me that ain't rock well.
00:29:57Hey, Vivian.
00:29:58Hey, let me help with those Sinclair files.
00:29:59Uh, no.
00:30:00I got it.
00:30:01Come to lunch with me.
00:30:10Camp, I have a call with clients in five minutes.
00:30:14It's funny.
00:30:14I don't remember seeing that on your calendar.
00:30:17It's just scheduled.
00:30:18Don'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.
00:30:29Not 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.
00:30:51See what happens when you let go of a little control?
00:30:56Stop talking before I change my mind.
00:30:58Then get on the table.
00:31:20Lift your skirt up.
00:31:22What?
00:31:22We're at the office.
00:31:23I told you to trust me.
00:31:28Shh.
00:31:43Don't want anyone to hear you.
00:31:44No.
00:31:51Shh.
00:31:52No.
00:31:54Anybody here?
00:31:58That 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...
00:32:34Rockwell 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, these, these are the wrong numbers.
00:32:58I swear, your investments are safe here at Rockwell.
00:33:01What 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.
00:33:15I will look into this.
00:33:17A CEO who can't manage her own money?
00:33:20I'm out.
00:33:20Unacceptable.
00:33:22Wait.
00:33:23Gentlemen.
00:33:24Hey, Josh.
00:33:25Do you have that coffee over?
00:33:28Right here, sir.
00:33:29Also, I've digitized all of Mrs. Rockwell's files last week.
00:33:35Someone changed the documents to humiliate her and mislead all of you.
00:33:41This is crazy talk.
00:33:43As you can see, gentlemen, Vivian has failed you.
00:33:47She is unfit as CEO.
00:33:51Let's take a look at that security footage, shall we?
00:33:54Eric, wait.
00:33:55Mr. Johnson.
00:33:55We are on that.
00:34:00Just trust me.
00:34:07Is, is 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 bus.
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.
00:35:04For 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, you are such a hypocrite.
00:35:36Okay, Mason.
00:35:37Stop.
00:35:38Unlike you, Miss Rockwell is actually professional.
00:35:42And 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.
00:36:02Word 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.
00:36:13Now, get out of my office before I have Mr. Johnson call security.
00:36:18You're up to something, Vivian.
00:36:20And I'm going to find out.
00:36:21And when I do, you'll be out in your ass with nothing.
00:36:24You 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 foul 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.
00:37:18You're a real tease, boss.
00:37:24I finally figured out what I want.
00:37:25Oh, yeah? What's that?
00:37:26I want you to take me to your VIP club right now.
00:37:35No.
00:37:48Tell me what else you want.
00:38:03Take me, goddammit.
00:38:06I mean, sir.
00:38:08Outside the office, I give the orders.
00:38:10Okay, wait. I 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.
00:38:32Now, say you're an amazing CEO.
00:38:38I'm an amazing CEO.
00:38:41Again.
00:38:41I'm beautiful, and I'm an amazing CEO.
00:38:44Good girl.
00:38:47Little Miss Vanilla screwing her sister in a sex club.
00:39:15Um, Mason's gonna love this.
00:39:18Yeah.
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.
00:39:39Brickstink Group is pulling out.
00:39:41What? What do you mean they're pulling out?
00:39:42We have a contract.
00:39:43I don't know what to tell you. They're willing to break the contract.
00:39:47The board is livid.
00:39:50I'll fix it.
00:39:53Fuck!
00:39:55Oh, smooth, Viv. Very smooth.
00:39:58Get out. Out.
00:40:00Just wanted to wish you luck at the meeting later.
00:40:03You're gonna need it.
00:40:07Brickstink Group just pulled their contract.
00:40:10Investors are spooked.
00:40:12Investors are spooked. We have a problem.
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.
00:40:21This situation shouldn't have happened to begin with.
00:40:24We need results, not promises.
00:40:26Then what is it that you are implying?
00:40:33Um, if you can't rectify this, the board will be forced to hold a vote of no confidence.
00:40:40Hey, you okay?
00:40:49Yep.
00:40:51No.
00:40:52I feel like I'm losing control of everything.
00:40:55Mason has the board eating out of his hand, and...
00:41:00I'm pretty sure they're gonna 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.
00:41:10So, cool it.
00:41:11Relationship?
00:41:13Glad we're finally calling you what it is.
00:41:15Is that a joke to you?
00:41:18I'm dead 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.
00:41:23I'm not gonna risk it all for a fling with some boy.
00:41:27Fling.
00:41:29Fl-
00:41:30So, we went from relationship to fling?
00:41:32What's next? The mistake?
00:41:34Come, Eric.
00:41:35Forget it.
00:41:39Eric. Eric.
00:41:44You'll never believe what I saw last night.
00:41:46What?
00:41:47Vivian.
00:41:48Mm.
00:41:48At a BDSM club.
00:41:49No 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,
00:42:03if 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.
00:42:21It doesn't start for another hour.
00:42:23I know.
00:42:23I know.
00:42:24Mason moved it up and Danielle let it slip in the break room.
00:42:25We gotta go.
00:42:26That bastard.
00:42:27I know.
00:42:28They're trying to sabotage me again.
00:42:29Go.
00:42:31If we redirect company resources-
00:42:33Oh.
00:42:34How nice of you to join us.
00:42:37Please.
00:42:37Continue.
00:42:40Like I was saying,
00:42:41we redirect the company's resources into this expansion.
00:42:44Too risky.
00:42:45Quite frankly, foolish.
00:42:48Afraid I disagree.
00:42:50That's because you don't have the years of experience that it takes to recognize a poison chalice when you see one.
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 instincts, Vivian.
00:43:08Trust him an experience.
00:43:09That's what this company needs right now.
00:43:12Not gambles and risks.
00:43:14Oh, so what, Mason?
00:43:33You just sleeping with Danielle?
00:43:35Or are you guys working together to just kick me out?
00:43:41I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:43:43Oh, cut the bullshit.
00:43:45It's obvious the two of you are trying to undermine me.
00:43:48Does it even matter?
00:43:49I mean, she is outperforming you in every way possible.
00:43:53You want to cheat?
00:43:55Go ahead.
00:43:56Cheat?
00:43:57Leave my company out of it.
00:44:00You're not as innocent as you like you tend to be.
00:44:05And what exactly are you implying?
00:44:10You already know.
00:44:13Be careful whose side you pick.
00:44:25Remember who the hell hired you.
00:44:27You want to see me, boss?
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:40First of all, thank you for alerting me of the meeting time change.
00:44:42It's my job.
00:44:43Secondly, I want to apologize about earlier.
00:44:49I shouldn't have taken my frustrations out on you and I am sorry.
00:44:55No, stop.
00:44:56Let me explain.
00:44:57I 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.
00:45:11And the one time I let someone in, he just destroyed me.
00:45:18Mason.
00:45:19Yeah.
00:45:20Mason is an idiot.
00:45:22I mean, think about it.
00:45:23Only a fool would ruin something with an incredible woman like you.
00:45:26Why are you attracted to me?
00:45:27Because you're brilliant.
00:45:29You're strong, you're independent, and well, sexy as hell too.
00:45:35Oh, shit.
00:45:38How is someone your age so perfect?
00:45:43Are you really going to let something like that stay between us?
00:45:58I...
00:46:03Wait, stop.
00:46:08We can't, we can't, we can't do this here.
00:46:10We shouldn't.
00:46:12We certainly should.
00:46:31What are you doing?
00:46:50Shh.
00:46:52Ready now.
00:47:01Gotcha.
00:47:31Can I ask you something?
00:47:39What is the heir to the Johnson Group doing working for me as an assistant?
00:47:47I'm just trying to provide for my mom.
00:47:51After my dad lost the company, the money, everything.
00:47:56I really admire that.
00:47:58You have great work ethic.
00:48:00You're dedicated, loyal.
00:48:05I'm going to talk to HR about a race.
00:48:07I don't want a handout.
00:48:08Trust me, it's not a handout.
00:48:11You're pretty much the best assistant I've ever had.
00:48:14You 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.
00:48:30Come on.
00:48:33Yes, sir.
00:48:34Do you trust me?
00:48:49Yes, sir.
00:48:51Remember your safe word.
00:48:52Strawberries.
00:48:55Give me your hands.
00:48:56You're not the CEO of Rockwell here.
00:49:09You don't have to command, control, or carry anyone else.
00:49:14Tonight, you're mine.
00:49:19Okay.
00:49:23Tell 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...
00:49:31I just want to let go.
00:49:33And surrender.
00:49:35Put these here, and don't move them.
00:49:38Yes, sir.
00:49:44That's it.
00:49:45Let go.
00:49:46No boardroom.
00:49:48No bullshit.
00:49:50Just you and the freedom to feel.
00:49:53Look at you.
00:49:59So powerful in surrender.
00:50:01Every inch of you is mine tonight.
00:50:05Oh.
00:50:05Oh, perfect.
00:50:22Just what I need when the audit starts tomorrow.
00:50:24Attention, Ms. Rockwell.
00:50:25Well, 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.
00:50:38The description strongly implies an inappropriate relationship between a member of the executive team and a subordinate shit.
00:50:46Shit, shit.
00:50:49Hey.
00:50:50Hey.
00:50:51How are you doing?
00:50:51You good?
00:50:51I'm just checking on you.
00:50:53Yeah, why?
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:54Well, aside from you just freaking out a moment ago, there's something you should see.
00:51:00Now what?
00:51:01Someone leaked photos of us kissing outside the club.
00:51:04Are they talking about Vivian?
00:51:05They're together.
00:51:07Are you seeing this?
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:08Wow.
00:51:09Maybe we can fix this.
00:51:30No.
00:51:31No, no, no.
00:51:32Eric.
00:51:33Vivian.
00:51:33Whatever this is, whatever this is, whatever this is, it's over, okay?
00:51:37I can't, I cannot do this anymore.
00:51:39Vivian.
00:51:39No.
00:51:40No.
00:51:41I swear to you, everything I've ever worked for in my entire life is vanishing right in front of my eyes.
00:51:46And for what?
00:51:47For what?
00:51:48Some quick fuck with a kid?
00:51:50After all this, that's what you see this as?
00:51:52How did they get those photos?
00:52:00Have 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?
00:52:09No, of course not.
00:52:10How could you think that?
00:52:11How 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.
00:52:20You know, maybe that's your problem.
00:52:23Your trust issues and those fucking walls you put up will ruin any good thing that you have in your life.
00:52:30No, just fuck this.
00:52:32Consider this my resignation notes.
00:52:33Oh, God.
00:52:43Now what?
00:52:46Open it.
00:52:50You're exhausting.
00:52:55Yeah.
00:52:56You have two options, Viv.
00:52:58You can end the affair, or we'll release everything.
00:53:01To the investors, the board, the press, everyone.
00:53:07You can kiss your reputation goodbye, and your company.
00:53:11There is no affair.
00:53:13Oh, really?
00:53:14Perhaps we should ask the board if these pictures, not an affair.
00:53:22What do you two want?
00:53:24Simple, really.
00:53:25You step down, quietly.
00:53:27You name Mason your new CEO, and me, your chief strategy officer.
00:53:33But you do this, and nobody will see the rest of these pictures.
00:53:37And you can live out the rest of your pathetic little life being a cougar with that little boy toy of yours.
00:53:45To 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?
00:54:11I don't have a choice.
00:54:14Danielle and Mason are blackmailing me.
00:54:16Blackmailing?
00:54:16Yeah.
00:54:17How?
00:54:18Well, 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.
00:54:26Okay, what do they want?
00:54:30For 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.
00:54:40Then we fight them.
00:54:42Okay, we can't give them an inch.
00:54:44How?
00:54:45How are we supposed to do that?
00:54:52I have an idea.
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:56This gets ugly.
00:55:03Are you with me?
00:55:11You built this company.
00:55:13I don't work for Mason.
00:55:15I work for you.
00:55:20Are you sure you want to do this?
00:55:21Yes.
00:55:22I'm sure.
00:55:23Someone 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.
00:55:35I need to be free.
00:55:37Well, let the shit show begin.
00:55:40Eric, I'm...
00:55:48Don't mention it.
00:55:49I'm so sorry for doubting you and accusing you.
00:55:54Apology accepted.
00:55:56I 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.
00:56:10What a nightmare.
00:56:11I can't believe I agreed to do this.
00:56:23Just see it through.
00:56:24Miss Rockwell, the press are calling for interviews.
00:56:29Schedule a press conference.
00:56:30Now.
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.
00:56:41That was a mistake.
00:56:42And 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.
00:56:58Moving forward, I will serve Rockwell, Inc. with clarity and accountability.
00:57:05Because it deserves nothing less.
00:57:16You were brilliant.
00:57:17As usual.
00:57:18Now we turn the tables on Mason and Danielle.
00:57:26Well, I'm going to be Rockwell's new CEO.
00:57:31Before we begin discussing the future of this company, I have something that I would like to submit to HR and the board.
00:57:37This 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.
00:57:56This 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.
00:58:08Okay, first of all, let me just tell you.
00:58:09No.
00:58:10You 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. above my own feelings.
00:58:26Now it's time that our leadership do the same.
00:58:31Well, 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 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.
00:58:55Vivian is just out for revenge because her own little inter-office affair was exposed.
00:59:01Ha!
00:59:05Speak of the devil.
00:59:07Vivian is 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 the financial inconsistencies lead directly back to Mason's management.
00:59:31What a mess.
00:59:33To 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.
00:59:46Relax.
00:59:51I know things seem bleak, but we still have some on our side.
00:59:56It's not over until the fat lady sings.
00:59:59That's right.
01:00:00Look, no matter what happens, I've got you.
01:00:04Okay?
01:00:05I don't know who's like opening.
01:00:06You won't.
01:00:06This could change everything.
01:00:14We have to be fair.
01:00:16Evidence exists on both sides.
01:00:25All the votes have been cast.
01:00:28Let's count them.
01:00:29Just breathe.
01:00:33It's okay.
01:00:35This is it.
01:00:36We got this.
01:00:38And the final vote...
01:00:41Is...
01:00:47The votes are unanimous.
01:00:51Vivian Rockwell, you will remain the CEO.
01:00:58Mason Jones, you are to be removed from the company effective immediately.
01:01:03Danielle Green, we expect your resignation forthright.
01:01:08This is absurd.
01:01:10You can't...
01:01:10You can't oust me for...
01:01:12With violence and bad paperwork?
01:01:13Come on.
01:01:14We've invested just as much to this company as this crown, and this is how it ends?
01:01:17Well, actually, Danielle, it ended when you betrayed the company.
01:01:22All things done in the dark will one day come to light.
01:01:25Don't forget, Vivian, we're married.
01:01:29So that means part of Rockwell, Inc., well, it belongs to me.
01:01:34Well, that's not what our prenup said.
01:01:37I'm divorcing you, Mason.
01:01:40No, no.
01:01:42I'll refuse to resign.
01:01:43I'll sue.
01:01:44I'll go to the media.
01:01:46The board is going to regret this.
01:01:48That 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.
01:02:06Careful, sweetie.
01:02:07Careful.
01:02:08Careful.
01:02:11Ms. Rockwell.
01:02:13Need 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.
01:02:31I'm not sleeping with Eric.
01:02:35I'm in love.
01:02:36What 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.
01:02:53Well, we will allow the relationship on one condition.
01:03:08What is that?
01:03:09That he be placed in a different department and cannot work under you in any capacity.
01:03:16I can agree to that.
01:03:19Then, 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.
01:03:34There 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.
01:03:57Just like how you're mine.
01:04:00Take me to the pelvic room to celebrate.
01:04:03Sir?
01:04:04How very unprofessional of you, Miss Rockwell.
01:04:11Good girl.
01:04:34How very unprofessional of you, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Miss
