00:11:55chantelle perfume number five

00:12:04well i wish you did
00:12:06but it might have been frowned upon
00:12:09you being a lecturer
00:12:11maybe some sort of power imbalance
00:12:14yeah i don't think the university would have appreciated

00:12:46he wants me to meet him at the fanciest hotel in the city
00:12:59we'll see you next time
00:13:05yeah
00:13:09yeah
00:13:13yeah
00:13:15yeah
00:13:17yeah
00:13:20yeah
00:13:21yeah
00:13:23yeah
00:13:23yeah
00:13:23yeah
00:13:24Wow, that dress.
00:13:54That dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:56How did you know my size?
00:13:58My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:14:01I could guess your weight too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:14:08This room must have cost a fortune.
00:14:10Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:14:20I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:24You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:27No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:38Absolutely.
00:14:40Right.
00:14:41Let's do this.
00:14:42The next day.
00:16:14Oh, gosh. This has been such a whirlwind. I am falling so hard.
00:16:22Just be careful, honey.
00:16:23I know. I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:30I mean, that merger is heating up. All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now. They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:36You're the only person I've told. We both decided to be discreet. The last thing he needs is media attention. It's also the last thing you need with your mom. How is Teresa doing? Better. They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission. That's great news.
00:16:52I really need to keep this job.
00:16:55Are you just going to stand there? We're going to get to work. Do you have any idea what you're doing? We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:17:09Of course I know what I'm doing with you.
00:17:11Are you a spy, homie?
00:17:30Not me, but somebody is. Those came across my desk earlier today, and I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep them out of the press.
00:17:45I'm not a married man. I can date somebody.
00:17:47Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:49She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:51Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem. The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:18:00They like stability, especially after that one in Gotham went rogue.
00:18:05Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:18:09I don't think that exists.
00:18:12I got news for you, pal. It does. 35 years.
00:18:23I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:18:25But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:34We are playing with Vibe, but I care about him so much, I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:39Well, well, well. What do we have here?
00:18:54Excuse me?
00:18:55I'm a buddy. Bruno, my buddy.
00:18:57Hi, I'm Vanessa, Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:19:02We have so much in common. I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:19:06I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:19:08But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:19:12What?
00:19:13Happy hour. Teenies on me.
00:19:16Teenies?
00:19:18Martinies. Teenies to bikinis.
00:19:19Oh, that's funny.
00:19:24Yeah.
00:19:25What'd you say we get out of this wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:32Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:36Yeah.
00:19:37Oh.
00:19:40We need to talk.
00:19:42Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:45Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:50X, Y.
00:19:51What do you need? What's the problem?
00:19:53I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:56How can you be unhappy? It's fair. I paid you more than half.
00:20:01I still want you.
00:20:04No baby voice, Ruby. Okay, we're through.
00:20:08Fine.
00:20:09Clearly you don't want me anymore, but I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:20:13The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:20:16What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:20:18You are entitled to none of that.
00:20:20We'll see about that.
00:20:23You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:20:25You wouldn't dare.
00:20:31You need to go. Come on, out the door.
00:20:33Hey there.
00:20:43Hey, sorry. I'm wiped.
00:20:46I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:50It's none of my business.
00:20:51It's over between her and I.
00:20:53She does not think so.
00:20:57So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:21:00I'm not really hungry.
00:21:04You sure about that?
00:21:09I don't think it's a good idea.
00:21:11Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:21:14We can just keep it simple.
00:21:16Have some good food, take our mind off things.
00:21:19No pressure.
00:21:20He's right.
00:21:20We're both under a lot of stress.
00:21:22But I can't put my stress on him.
00:21:24So, dinner?
00:21:26Keep it simple.
00:21:27Keep it simple.
00:21:28This is simple.
00:21:42You're worth it.
00:21:46I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:52You too.
00:21:53I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:55I'm worried about us.
00:21:57Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:22:00All eyes are on you.
00:22:01With this and your divorce, don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:22:06Unfit for what?
00:22:07The merger is just money.
00:22:09And I have money.
00:22:10But I don't have love.
00:22:14And I want to be with you.
00:22:18I don't know.
00:22:19Why are you so hesitant?
00:22:23I don't know if I can tell him.
00:22:27What's going on?
00:22:29My mom is...
00:22:32Cancer.
00:22:33She has cancer.
00:22:35And I just need to focus on work right now because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:39You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:41No, Sebastian, that's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:43I don't want your charity.
00:22:45My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:52Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:54She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:56I admire you.
00:22:58I don't need to be admired.
00:23:00I need to be understood.
00:23:03Understood.
00:23:03I think we should slow down a little.
00:23:08What are you talking about?
00:23:10Maybe just be friends.
00:23:13I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:23:16I don't think I can be anything more.
00:23:30I see you.
00:23:33What?
00:23:33I see you.
00:23:35You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:38I am just trying to work here.
00:23:40I don't need any distractions.
00:23:42Let me guess.
00:23:43Your job's a joke.
00:23:44You're broke.
00:23:44Your love life's DOA.
00:23:46It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:50It hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
00:23:58No.
00:24:01Babe, come on.
00:24:02Release the attention.
00:24:06Yeah.
00:24:10Maybe this is for the better.
00:24:12I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:24:15This is the only way.
00:24:16I have to get you.
00:24:17Uh, yeah.
00:24:20That's the spot.
00:24:21That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:24:33Oh.
00:24:34Sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:24:36Hey, Sebastian.
00:24:37Don't worry.
00:24:37Here, we're off the clock.
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:43This is hot.
00:24:45Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:54Play hard again?
00:24:56I like that.
00:24:58Bruno Leike.
00:25:01You big stud.
00:25:03You got this.
00:25:04She's yours.
00:25:05Two can play this game.
00:25:06I'll be there for you.
00:25:15Hey.
00:25:16I'm sorry about...
00:25:18There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:25:20We're both adults.
00:25:21You don't owe me anything.
00:25:22He was just being...
00:25:24I don't care about him.
00:25:27I just...
00:25:28I don't know.
00:25:28I thought that you were different.
00:25:30I...
00:25:30I have to let this happen.
00:25:33You know what?
00:25:33I think you're right.
00:25:35I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:38No.
00:25:40More like work colleagues.
00:25:45Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:49But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:52It was built off hard work.
00:25:54No, and I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:26:00But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:26:05You're just after my money.
00:26:07Sebastian, I don't...
00:26:16How about we finish where we started?
00:26:18Get off.
00:26:18What about all that break room talk?
00:26:20I thought I told you never touch me again.
00:26:23Let's pretend I didn't.
00:26:24Get off me, Bruno.
00:26:26I'm not interested.
00:26:28Don't be that interested.
00:26:37You'll regret this.
00:26:37Tell me everything.
00:26:44It was terrible what I did, but this merger was so important to Sebastian.
00:26:50I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:52You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:54I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:56Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:57What did you do?
00:26:59What did you do?
00:27:01I almost kissed Bruno.
00:27:04The aggressive guy?
00:27:06He only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:27:11I hope you know what you're doing.
00:27:12I wish we had met in college.
00:27:20Things would be so different.
00:27:27Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:27:28Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:27:34What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:43What is wrong with you?
00:27:45I mean, you have everything.
00:27:47And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:50You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:51Boy, don't ask, I am humble.
00:28:02You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:28:07Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:28:14What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:28:16Ruby.
00:28:17What are you doing here?
00:28:18Come in.
00:28:19I'm sorry.
00:28:20I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:28:21What are you doing here?
00:28:23Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:28:25And I thought I should come make amends.
00:28:30Is it me?
00:28:33Is it hot in here?
00:28:51I've missed you.
00:28:59We were so good together.
00:29:05Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:29:16No, no, no, no.
00:29:23Hey, I'm sorry.
00:29:24I...
00:29:24I can't do this.
00:29:28Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:29:30Here, let's put this on.
00:29:35Is this about that bitch?
00:29:39Don't call her that.
00:29:41You'll regret this, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:29:43Hey, hey, hey, get off of me.
00:29:56Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
00:29:58What is that?
00:30:11You must have dropped it.
00:30:15Oh, my God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:30:30Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:30:31We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:33In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:36Good night.
00:30:43Yeah, of course.
00:30:46How did you know where I lived?
00:30:49I looked your address up at work.
00:30:52I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:54About what?
00:30:56Look, I was a jerk earlier, and I overreacted.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:31:01Vanessa.
00:31:01People in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:31:07Everyone only seems to want one thing from me,
00:31:09and that's why I have to be protective.
00:31:12I've been blinded by love before.
00:31:14Ruby?
00:31:15That obvious, huh?
00:31:17She's, um...
00:31:18Bitch?
00:31:20Yeah.
00:31:21And she also could put this hold on people.
00:31:24And I didn't realize it till much later that she's just a gold digger.
00:31:29And she never loved me.
00:31:30She only loved my bank account.
00:31:32And that's why I tend to be defensive.
00:31:36Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us.
00:31:40You have this merger.
00:31:41I don't want you to lose sight of it.
00:31:47And you have your mother.
00:31:49How's she doing?
00:31:51She has her last treatment coming up, so...
00:31:54We're hopeful.
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:56She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her.
00:32:02And she carries that guilt.
00:32:06The other day, she said that sometimes she wished she had died.
00:32:11So I could live.
00:32:14She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:32:16Look, I appreciate your generosity.
00:32:19But as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain boss and secretary.
00:32:28Deal?
00:32:32Deal.
00:32:34Under one condition.
00:32:36What is it?
00:32:39You replace this.
00:32:43Sure.
00:32:44You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:47I never used it.
00:32:48Okay.
00:32:49Well, you need to go down to La Tour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:53I'm not going to do that.
00:32:58Well, you need to because I need you to attend a dinner with me.
00:33:03No dates.
00:33:04No, no, it's not a date.
00:33:05Personal assistant.
00:33:06Strictly business.
00:33:08You feed me the names of people that I should know.
00:33:11It's boring, but the food is good.
00:33:14So what do you say?
00:33:16Deal?
00:33:17That's my one condition.
00:33:18You really are a good negotiator.
00:33:20You should probably go.
00:33:29Okay.
00:33:39Can I help you?
00:33:40Yes, yes.
00:33:41I am looking for a dress.
00:33:43Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:45Oh, probably.
00:33:47Sorry, we don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:52Oh, I know, I know.
00:33:53I don't usually shop at places like this, but I actually walk by here all the time and stare
00:33:58at that dress in the window.
00:34:00Not to cut you off.
00:34:01I'm pretty busy here, and we only serve to high-end clients.
00:34:07Okay.
00:34:10Maybe I'm in the wrong store.
00:34:12Maybe you are.
00:34:13I should probably go.
00:34:15You should.
00:34:21No, wait just a minute.
00:34:22What is going on here?
00:34:23I don't belong here.
00:34:24Of course you do.
00:34:25Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome.
00:34:27You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:34:29I didn't know she was...
00:34:30That shouldn't matter.
00:34:31You don't have to do this.
00:34:33Yes, I do.
00:34:34You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:37I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong.
00:34:39I'm really sorry.
00:34:41My boyfriend just dumped me, and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:44It's okay.
00:34:45I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing.
00:34:47I love them.
00:34:49Also, that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:51But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you.
00:34:54Plus, I have at least food.
00:34:56I'm oversharing.
00:34:57Just wrap up the dress.
00:34:59We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:35:01Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:35:22I don't want to let you down.
00:35:25You won't.
00:35:26Just stick with me.
00:35:27I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:35:31Oh, God.
00:35:34I didn't realize they let trash in here.
00:35:37Ruby, this isn't the time or the place.
00:35:38Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls.
00:35:41Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:43I'm sorry, Ms. Cromo, that Sebastian was about to give you a speech.
00:35:46I'm sorry.
00:35:47Who the fuck are you?
00:35:48This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:52You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:58Oh!
00:36:01Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
00:36:04I'm such a klutz.
00:36:13And now, ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong.
00:36:23I think it's about time we got legal involved to talk about these terms and details.
00:36:27Before it goes to legal, should I have my guys look at it?
00:36:30Your guys.
00:36:32Just keep taking notes.
00:36:34You're new here, so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:36:37Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:39Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:48Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:50I need some of that.
00:36:52Damn, she's hot.
00:36:54Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink.
00:36:57Am I right, boys?
00:36:58I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:37:01There's a lot you don't know about me, Sebby.
00:37:04It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:37:06Oh, so formal.
00:37:08This company needed a little joke like me.
00:37:11Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:37:14Yeah, I know.
00:37:16Because I already got the prize.
00:37:18So, you are dating.
00:37:20I mean, if you call getting freaky in a two-star hotel dating.
00:37:23Come on, keep it classy.
00:37:27You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:37:29Respect the workplace.
00:37:32Hey, chill.
00:37:33You ain't got money like us.
00:37:35Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:41Stop.
00:37:42Stop.
00:37:45You're done.
00:37:46Get out of here.
00:37:47Pack your shit up.
00:37:48We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:50Okay, big boss man.
00:37:52I'll leave.
00:37:53Are you going to regret this?
00:37:55You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of.
00:37:59Just leave, son.
00:38:00It's over.
00:38:04Don't worry, Sebastian.
00:38:06I got your back.
00:38:08Back in my day, guys like him would have gotten it much worse.
00:38:12This won't affect our negotiations at all.
00:38:15It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room.
00:38:22Oh, my God.
00:38:23Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:38:32Someone vandalized my car.
00:38:34What?
00:38:35Are you okay?
00:38:35Are you okay?
00:38:35I can't see their faces.
00:38:50They're wearing masks.
00:38:52The time stamp says it's from this afternoon, so it can't be...
00:38:55Bruno.
00:38:55Bruno.
00:38:58He was in my office at that time.
00:39:01I'll send this to the authorities.
00:39:02I'm scared.
00:39:08I'll protect you.
00:39:09Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:39:16Hi, Doc.
00:39:17How's my mom doing?
00:39:19Hi, Vanessa.
00:39:20Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:39:23We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:39:25And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:39:28Just trying to make the best of it.
00:39:29Hopefully, this will be her last treatment and send her cancer into remission.
00:39:34The only sad thing is, Ms. Porter won't be brightening up our oncology ward anymore.
00:39:39Stop.
00:39:39I'll leave you, too.
00:39:45How are you, honey?
00:39:46I'm good.
00:39:47Work's really busy.
00:39:49Oh.
00:39:49Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:52I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:54Food sucks.
00:39:57Are you okay?
00:39:58You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:59I have to tell you something, Mom.
00:40:01I don't want you to worry.
00:40:03Well, I'm going to worry whether you tell me or not.
00:40:07I think I have a stalker.
00:40:09What?
00:40:09Someone vandalized my car.
00:40:10They wrote a bad word.
00:40:13A magic marker.
00:40:14Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get that off.
00:40:17I know, Mom.
00:40:18I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:40:21This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi.
00:40:23He has been all over me and it's starting to worry me out.
00:40:26You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:40:29John Lombardi's son?
00:40:34John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:40:37Yes.
00:40:38And Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne.
00:40:43A crime family?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:46Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago.
00:40:48They're thugs.
00:40:49And if Bruno is anything like his father,
00:40:51you want to be swiping left, like the kids say.
00:40:54I think he got fired today.
00:40:56What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:57Kids today.
00:40:59They always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:41:01They can't take responsibility.
00:41:03But not my baby girl.
00:41:08The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs.
00:41:11Human trafficking?
00:41:13Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:41:17And he's grooming Bruno to take over.
00:41:20They've got some troubles going on.
00:41:22So, honey, please be careful.
00:41:24Well, I have to warn Sebastian.
00:41:27I have to go, Mom.
00:41:28I love you.
00:41:28I love you.
00:41:29I love you.
00:41:29You need a replacement for the whore-mobile.
00:41:52You know I can accept this.
00:41:54You have to.
00:41:56I really can't.
00:41:57Then why not?
00:41:59Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:42:03I found out that Bruno has ties to the mafia.
00:42:06No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:42:09I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
00:42:11Word is he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:42:14Then why would he want a job here?
00:42:16I don't know.
00:42:17He could be dangerous.
00:42:18Well, you don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:42:21Because I fired him.
00:42:23That's why I'm worried.
00:42:25No.
00:42:26Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:42:28We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:42:33And we need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:42:36And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:42:42Charity?
00:42:43Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:44Oh.
00:42:45I would love to.
00:42:46Hmm?
00:42:47But I don't know.
00:42:48Look, somebody just dropped out last minute.
00:42:50You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:52It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6 p.m. tonight.
00:42:58One condition.
00:43:00Okay.
00:43:01What?
00:43:05You take the car back.
00:43:09Fine.
00:43:11See you tonight.
00:43:12Damn.
00:43:17He is a good negotiator.
00:43:30You must be the new model.
00:43:34You're on stage in five.
00:43:35On stage?
00:43:37What is this?
00:43:38This is a charity auction.
00:43:39People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:43:41No, no, no, no.
00:43:43I can't do this.
00:43:44Are you kidding?
00:43:45This is going to be fun.
00:43:46And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:48You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:53Going looks.
00:43:54Going twice.
00:43:56And she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date.
00:44:02And this is a new charity record for us.
00:44:04Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:44:08Oh.
00:44:11What you lucky here.
00:44:13I guess they let anyone into these charity events, don't they?
00:44:17Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter.
00:44:21I just sold for $500,000.
00:44:25I set a new charity record.
00:44:28That crowd is going to eat you up.
00:44:30And remember, ladies and gents, your bids will be going towards a very special cause,
00:44:36Cancer Research Labs.
00:44:38Standing next to me is our beautiful last model, Vanessa Porter.
00:44:42The lucky winner will be taking this lovely lady on a date.
00:44:45And just dinner.
00:44:46No funny business.
00:44:47Okay, I'm talking to you, Mr. Wolstein.
00:44:50Mm-hmm.
00:44:51The bidding will start at $300,000.
00:44:55$500,000.
00:44:56$500,000.
00:44:58$600,000.
00:45:00Great.
00:45:00We have $600,000 over there.
00:45:03$700,000.
00:45:05We got $700,000 over here.
00:45:07$800,000.
00:45:09$800,000.
00:45:10$1 million.
00:45:11$500,000.
00:45:12$500,000.
00:45:16$500,000.
00:45:17$500,000.
00:45:19Sir, wow.
00:45:21What an amazing finale.
00:45:22Any other bids?
00:45:24Going once?
00:45:25Going twice?
00:45:28And sold to that gentleman over there for $1,000,000.
00:45:33What an amazing finale.
00:45:35Beating the previous record of...
00:45:37What's her name?
00:45:38Um, anyway, sir, please come up and claim your prize.
00:45:44This is going to be fun.
00:45:49You cannot go out on that date.
00:45:51It could be dangerous.
00:45:52I don't have a choice.
00:45:55You always have a choice.
00:45:57It's in the next room.
00:45:58It's in a controlled space.
00:46:00Why are you doing this?
00:46:01Because he wants me to back out.
00:46:03He wants to make you look bad.
00:46:06I'm doing this for the charity.
00:46:08It's just dinner in public.
00:46:09It'll be fine.
00:46:12Okay.
00:46:13I trust you.
00:46:15I also want to see what Bruno's up to.
00:46:19What's his game plan?
00:46:24You know, for a winning bet of $1,000,000,
00:46:26you'd think they'd serve at a hooch.
00:46:28I'd rather be home, drinking my wine from a box.
00:46:33We have so much in common.
00:46:36I'd rather be at your home, too.
00:46:38What do you want from me?
00:46:40What are you talking about, baby?
00:46:42I just want to get to know you.
00:46:45Oh, I have been very clear.
00:46:49I am not interested.
00:46:50Don't you know who I am?
00:46:53Oh, I know who you think you are.
00:46:57I've paid a lot of money for this day.
00:47:00I mean, Casino, I can make things very difficult for you and your little boyfriend.
00:47:09You know, this wine ain't that bad.
00:47:12Where are you going?
00:47:20The date ain't over yet, sweetheart.
00:47:22Can a girl use the restroom?
00:47:35Stop playing games, babe.
00:47:37We know what that one million bought me.
00:47:39Ah!
00:47:42I'm good, everybody.
00:47:46I'm good.
00:47:51Oh.
00:48:00Knock, knock.
00:48:01Hey, how was the date?
00:48:06And, um, who was this from?
00:48:09Uh, from Bruno, with all my love.
00:48:10Thanks for the magical night.
00:48:12Well, I guess that answers that.
00:48:13No, Sebastian, that's...
00:48:15It wasn't...
00:48:15No, no, no, it's fine.
00:48:16I'm...
00:48:17I have some work I need to be doing now.
00:48:29I'm just throwing this out there, but...
00:48:31I think I'm entitled to more like 65%.
00:48:35Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine.
00:48:36Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine.
00:48:37Fine?
00:48:38Sebastian, that's robbery.
00:48:40Your head isn't in the game.
00:48:42We need to wrap this up so we can send it before Congress and push this merger through soon.
00:48:47A good negotiation is where both parties walk away equally unhappy.
00:48:52And right now, Sebastian, I'm very happy.
00:48:56That's it, Sebastian.
00:49:03I'm done.
00:49:05It's over.
00:49:08Wait, what do you mean that it's over?
00:49:10We need a break.
00:49:11Listen, why don't we take a long weekend?
00:49:13You can go home and refocus on this merger, and I can spend some time with my grandkids.
00:49:19But we've spent every day at this damn office.
00:49:22We can come back on Tuesday and wrap this thing up.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
00:49:30Let me...
00:49:31Everyone, listen up.
00:49:34Everyone can have all for the week with pay.
00:49:45So, do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:49:47How would I?
00:49:48I just found out I have the week off.
00:49:50Well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:52Sebastian, I...
00:49:53I can't.
00:49:56But thank you.
00:49:57My mom's still in the hospital, so I have to go visit her.
00:50:00Well, maybe she'd like a box of chocolates.
00:50:02Yeah, maybe she would.
00:50:09Can I come in?
00:50:12She's fine.
00:50:13I'd love to have a drink, but I can't.
00:50:16Well, no one offered you one.
00:50:17I can't, because I'm pregnant.
00:50:21You're pregnant.
00:50:23I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian, but you're the father.
00:50:28That's impossible.
00:50:29We broke up three months ago.
00:50:30Can't you tell?
00:50:37I'm two months pregnant.
00:50:39No, no, no.
00:50:39I can't be the father.
00:50:41Okay.
00:50:41Well, I have a paternity test and ultrasound that's a different...
00:50:43different.
00:50:46Right there.
00:51:03Well, if this is true, then I'm not the type of man that runs from his responsibilities.
00:51:06That's what I love about you.
00:51:10You're so responsible.
00:51:13You need to go.
00:51:15I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:16Leave that there for you.
00:51:17Okay.
00:51:18I don't know how I'm going to tell Vanessa, but I have to be honest with her.
00:51:32I think we got him.
00:51:33I hope so.
00:51:38You riding whore on her car did nothing.
00:51:40And me leaving those photos that I took when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:51:44Okay.
00:51:44Well, I'm still out two grand for a fake paternity test.
00:51:47I really thought Sebastian hitting me would ruin this merger.
00:51:51Okay.
00:51:51I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:51:53I just want the divorce to happen after so that I get half.
00:51:57And if that doesn't work, we'll move on to plan C and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:52:01I know exactly where he hangs out when he needs time alone.
00:52:05He'll pay for humiliating a Lombardi.
00:52:40That is beautiful and delicious.
00:52:45Who's it from?
00:52:47I hope it's not from Bruno.
00:52:48Oh, my God.
00:52:50If you change your mind, I'm here for you.
00:52:56With all my love, Sebastian.
00:53:06It's a plane ticket.
00:53:08To Italy.
00:53:09You must go.
00:53:15I'm not leaving you, Mom.
00:53:22Two tickets.
00:53:26Mom, how are you feeling?
00:53:28I'm feeling like I need to see the Italian countryside and eat some authentic Italian.
00:53:35Looks like we're going to Italy.
00:53:36Yes.
00:53:51Welcome.
00:53:52Hi.
00:53:56Nice to finally meet you.
00:53:57Oh, lovely to meet you, too.
00:53:59Yeah, come on in.
00:54:00So, Miss Porter, how are you doing?
00:54:06Wonderful.
00:54:07Just wonderful.
00:54:09Thank you so much for bringing my daughter and I out here.
00:54:12And that private jet experience, that is the way to travel.
00:54:17And the food was delicious.
00:54:20What's mine is yours, so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:22Mom, where are you going?
00:54:30Are you feeling okay?
00:54:30I'm fine.
00:54:31Absolutely awesome.
00:54:33I have never felt better.
00:54:35Yeah.
00:54:36So, I'm just off now to find myself an Italian man.
00:54:39Mom.
00:54:40You are in the right place.
00:54:42You are in the right place, then.
00:54:44Oh, do not encourage her.
00:54:45I'm going to leave you guys alone.
00:54:49Enjoy.
00:54:51Well, cheers to that.
00:54:53Cheers to that.
00:54:58I need to come clean.
00:55:01Bruno and I...
00:55:03Look, I don't care, but...
00:55:04No, listen.
00:55:05We were never a thing.
00:55:06You and Bruno never had an affair?
00:55:08No, I faked the whole thing.
00:55:11Why?
00:55:12I didn't know how to break it off with you.
00:55:15I was afraid I was a distraction.
00:55:18So, I lied.
00:55:19And it blew up in my face.
00:55:23Vanessa, I need you to understand something very clearly.
00:55:27I'm not distracted by us together.
00:55:29I'm distracted by us apart.
00:55:31And I also want to be honest with you about something.
00:55:48Ruby told me that she is pregnant and it's mine.
00:55:51What?
00:55:52How?
00:55:52Look, I don't believe her, but I still do need to play this thing right.
00:55:56And I hope that you can trust me on this.
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:02I trust you.
00:56:07I love you.
00:56:13I love you, too.
00:56:14I love you, too.
00:56:15I love you, too.
00:56:16I love you, too.
00:56:16I love you, too.
00:56:17I love you, too.
00:56:17I love you, too.
00:56:17I love you, too.
00:56:18I love you, too.

00:56:20I love you, too.
00:56:20I love you, too.
00:56:20I love you, too.

00:56:32I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:57:00I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:57:02Mm-hmm.
00:57:10I should go check on it.
00:57:12Okay.
00:57:14Mom?
00:57:17Mom?
00:57:18Hello?
00:57:19Who is this?
00:57:20I'm your mother.
00:57:21She will stay safe if you follow my everywhere.
00:57:30I'll test instructions to this phone.
00:57:31If you alert the authorities, your mother will be killed.
00:57:32I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:37I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:38This is the address?
00:57:39Vanessa.
00:57:40Glad you made it.
00:57:41I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:42I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:43I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:45I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:46I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:50This is the address?
00:57:52Vanessa.
00:57:54Glad you made it.
00:57:56Looks like you brought your little boyfriend.
00:57:58Yes, good-ing boss.
00:57:59So is she.
00:58:00Let's go inside.
00:58:01Look at you two.
00:58:02Wow.
00:58:03The perfect couple.
00:58:04What do you want, Bruno?
00:58:05I'll do the questioning.
00:58:06That's what people with guns get to do.
00:58:08We could have been a great team, but you had to blow it all for some trim.
00:58:13Just tell me why that-
00:58:14Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:58:15I always hated guys like you, Sebastian.
00:58:16Bootstrap guys.
00:58:17That's why I'm going to love bleeding you dry for everything you worst for.
00:58:18Just tell me why that-
00:58:23Shut up.
00:58:24What do you want, Bruno?
00:58:25I'll do the questioning.
00:58:26That's what people with guns get to do.
00:58:27We could have been a great team, but you had to blow it all for some trim.
00:58:32Just tell me why that-
00:58:33Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:58:35I always hated guys like you, Sebastian, bootstrap guys.
00:58:38That's why I'm going to love bleeding you dry for everything you worked for.
00:58:43I want your entire fortune
00:58:47You son of a bitch
00:58:49Calm down, Sebastian
00:58:52You don't want to end up under the sea
00:58:55Fine
00:59:01For Teresa
00:59:05We just need to know that she's alive
00:59:13Mom, it's okay
00:59:15Mom, it's okay
00:59:19It's okay
00:59:20There's your proof of life
00:59:24Transfer the money to this address
00:59:26Using this phone
00:59:27Come on
00:59:31I'm so sorry that this is happening
00:59:37This is all my fault
00:59:43It's gonna wipe you out
00:59:45It doesn't matter
00:59:48As long as you and your mother are safe
00:59:51I can always make my money back
00:59:54But I need you on my side
00:59:56Ka-ching
01:00:02Thanks for the money
01:00:04But you didn't really think I'll let your mom go, did you?
01:00:13Oh my
01:00:19Ruby, you killed him
01:00:23Oh, oopsies
01:00:26I'm such a klutz
01:00:27Guess I won't be sharing that money after all
01:00:30What, honey?
01:00:34You play chess
01:00:35You know the pawns always die
01:00:36Hands up
01:00:43Why are you doing this?
01:00:44I gave you everything
01:00:45Why?
01:00:47Because you left me
01:00:49Nobody leaves me
01:00:50I get everything I've always wanted
01:00:54You know exactly why
01:00:55When I met you
01:00:59You were nothing
01:01:01The only reason you married me was for my family name
01:01:04For my clout
01:01:05You used me to climb the social ladder
01:01:08Then once you got to the top
01:01:10You dropped me
01:01:11And what you think this whore can replace me
01:01:15You're wrong
01:01:16I married you for what I thought was out of love
01:01:18But then I quickly realized that
01:01:21All you ever cared about was material shit
01:01:24And I tried to prove to you that we can't have it all
01:01:26We could
01:01:27Spare me, Mr. Perfect, please
01:01:31I really can't
01:01:35No
01:01:35No, no
01:01:40Oopsies
01:01:45Sorry, my little mouse
01:01:47It won't happen again
01:01:48Ruby, you can fix all of this
01:01:50All you need to do is let Teresa go
01:01:52Fix this
01:01:58Yes
01:01:58This is beyond repair, my dear husband
01:02:02Revenge, retribution, whatever you want to call it
01:02:05I finally have the power
01:02:08Fuck you, bitch
01:02:11Most dads give their girls jewelry
01:02:15But not my dad
01:02:16I used to think guns were scary
01:02:18But in the right hand, they're quite beautiful
01:02:21We could have been great, Sebastian
01:02:24But you had to go ahead and ruin it all
01:02:27Shut the fuck up, Ruby
01:02:29I'm gonna kill you both
01:02:33And when the police get here
01:02:34They'll find me laying on the ground
01:02:36Covered in blood
01:02:37Screaming
01:02:38Help me
01:02:39Help me
01:02:41And I'll blame it on that
01:02:43Mafia moron
01:02:44Drop it
01:02:49You're okay?
01:03:17Yeah, I'm okay, honey
01:03:19I knew you'd come and get me
01:03:21But next time
01:03:22Can we go to Paris, please?
01:03:25Okay
01:03:25Miss Porter
01:03:28I'm Detective Colombo
01:03:30We've been monitoring the Lombardi crime family for several months now
01:03:33And we have all the information we need to indict Ruby and Bruno on an extortion plot
01:03:38But how?
01:03:40We had somebody on the inside
01:03:41You're a cop?
01:03:48Yep
01:03:48Department of Justice undercover
01:03:50The merger made us look into a possible crime link with Armstrong Enterprises
01:03:54Turns out Sebastian is legit
01:03:56He just hired the wrong people
01:03:57Luckily, Interpol connected me to the town in place at just the right time
01:04:00I would have never guessed
01:04:03Guess those late night wine sessions were just research, huh?
01:04:07Getting into your friend was just one of the benefits
01:04:09Oh, uh, one more thing
01:04:11Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure
01:04:14We made sure the transfer didn't go through
01:04:16Thank you
01:04:19And in business news
01:04:25The Congress has approved the Bastion Enterprise merger
01:04:28CEO Sebastian Armstrong is now the richest man in the world
01:04:31This merger is an unprecedented green deal
01:04:33They have agreed to convert 70% of their carbon-producing plans
01:04:37Into renewable energy power plans
01:04:39Cheers to Teresa being cancer-free for six months
01:04:46Cheers
01:04:47And cheers to Vanessa
01:04:53For her hopefully making me the happiest man on earth
01:04:59Oh, my God
01:04:59Will you marry me?
01:05:11Yes
01:05:12I promise to love you forever
01:05:22I promise to love you forever
