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?
00:00:30And that was just the appetizer.
00:00:34What the fuck is going on here?
00:00:41Okay.
00:00:43I guess the secret's out.
00:00:45It's our wedding anniversary, Mason.
00:00:4715 years.
00:00:49Yeah.
00:00:50I traded up for a new remodel.
00:00:52I mean, come on.
00:00:54Look 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.
00:01:03So that gives you the right to cheat on me with our employee?
00:01:06You're old.
00:01:08Washed 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.
00:01:19Watch where you're going.
00:01:37You're the one who...
00:01:39Someone'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, hey, you dropped your cell phone.
00:02:10What the hell is this place?
00:02:35Who are you trying to impress?
00:02:38You're old.
00:02:39Washed up.
00:02:42Members only.
00:02:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:02:45I didn't, um...
00:02:47It's fine.
00:02:48She's with me.
00:02:54You dropped us.
00:02:58How'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?
00:03:06Isn't that obvious?
00:03:08A little.
00:03:10But I mean...
00:03:12Dress the part, so...
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:22I should go home.
00:03:23Everyone here is really young.
00:03:27How old are you?
00:03:28Okay, for your information,
00:03:30I know more about pleasuring than men twice my age.
00:03:34Or stamina.
00:03:36Or the proof.
00:03:38Come on, I'll show you.
00:03:38Up here is my private room.
00:03:43Up here is my private room.
00:04:03The epizome.
00:04:04So, your safe word is strawberry.
00:04:23Say strawberry, and everything stops.
00:04:27No questions asked.
00:04:28If I don't?
00:04:31Then I'll fulfill every fantasy you've ever had.
00:04:33What are you trying to hide?
00:04:34What are you trying to hide?
00:04:51You're beautiful.
00:04:52I've never done anything like this before.
00:05:10It's okay.
00:05:12You're perfect just the way you are.
00:05:13Don't trust me and be a good girl.
00:05:23Say yes, sir.
00:05:27Say it.
00:05:35Strawberry, I'm sorry.
00:05:36What?
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 are.
00:05:46I'm sorry.
00:05:47I can't.
00:05:48Happy anniversary, wifey.
00:06:10You got a lot of nerve being here after that stunt.
00:06:14Oh, that.
00:06:15Yeah.
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 going to be the new CEO.
00:06:29You're out of your mind if you think you're going to take my company.
00:06:34Take it?
00:06:36They're going to give it to me.
00:06:38You passed your prime, Viv.
00:06:40Old.
00:06:41Easy to walk over.
00:06:43Never going to happen.
00:06:45We'll see about that.
00:06:47Well, I'm going to bed.
00:06:52Care to join me?
00:06:54Screw you, Mason.
00:07:13Mom, 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.
00:07:27With 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.
00:07:43No 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?
00:07:55Where's the most recent financial report?
00:08:02Slipping a little, aren't we?
00:08:03I apologize.
00:08:08I will be right back.
00:08:24Your financial report is ready, Miss Rockwell.
00:08:27What are you doing to my office?
00:08:39I'm your new assistant.
00:08:40I'm your new assistant, Eric Johnson.
00:08:51Who the hell are you?
00:08:52Eric Johnson.
00:08:54Miss Rockwell's new assistant.
00:08:56Eric.
00:08:57She said, I thought I hired an Erica.
00:08:59Does someone want to explain why I have a new assistant that I never hired?
00:09:05The 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.
00:09:29Vivian, I mean, with your moods and forgetfulness, you know.
00:09:35I was just looking out for you.
00:09:38Everyone out now.
00:09:41Out.
00:09:46Okay.
00:09:47Not you, Mason.
00:09:48Undermining me?
00:09:59You're just in imagining things.
00:10:02Come on.
00:10:03We can talk about it at home.
00:10:07There is no home.
00:10:10At least not for you.
00:10:11I may not be able to fire you, Mason, but I sure as hell can kick you out of my house that I paid for.
00:10:20I'll have your stuff sent to you.
00:10:24Are you threatening me?
00:10:27You're going to regret getting in my way, wifey.
00:10:29Asshole, piece of shit!
00:10:40God, I wish I never married him.
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.
00:11:04It's what I'm here to do.
00:11:07I don't need anything from you.
00:11:12Even after last night?
00:11:13What 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.
00:11:38Well, I'm not paying you for introductions, Mr. Johnson.
00:11:44So, if you're going to work here, you're just going to 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, and an internal finance check-in at 3.
00:12:00You did all of this homework before starting?
00:12:04Like I said, it's my job to anticipate all of your needs.
00:12:08You 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.
00:12:54We were running this entire company together, so I can't get divorced, because it'll be a scandal in the press, and, you know what?
00:13:02None of your concern.
00:13:05Fine.
00:13:08But if you change your mind,
00:13:10you know where to find me.
00:13:15Have a seat.
00:13:39The board needs stability.
00:13:40They need me, as CEO, not Vivian.
00:13:46That's a big move.
00:13:48Forcing a vote of no confidence?
00:13:49Clark, 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.
00:14:02Convince the others.
00:14:04When the vote comes,
00:14:06Vivian falls.
00:14:10Then I take the CEO chair.
00:14:42It's ridiculous. I am a grown woman with a husband and a company.
00:14:53Careful, Miss Rockwell.
00:14:55I'm fine.
00:15:00You say that like you prefer a brew strawberry.
00:15:04I've been here five minutes. You don't know anything about me.
00:15:12I'm fine.
00:15:42I'm fine.
00:15:49Ow. Yeah, yeah.
00:15:52Here, let me help you.
00:15:55Careful.
00:15:56Yeah, I'm fine.
00:16:00Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:16:02Okay, okay.
00:16:04Okay.
00:16:07How are you doing?
00:16:10I'm fine.
00:16:11Come on.
00:16:12Listen, you'll need ice, compression, and elevation.
00:16:19I'm trying to keep your weight off of it, all right?
00:16:21But I was your boss.
00:16:22I'll go get some ice.
00:16:28Wait.
00:16:32I 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.
00:16:44Stay.
00:16:47I keep telling you what to do.
00:16:49Please.
00:16:51Are you sure that's what you want?
00:16:53Yes, sir.
00:16:55Give me your ankle.
00:16:56Yes, sir.
00:16:57You need to stop pretending you can carry this all on your own.
00:17:05You sit.
00:17:06You breathe.
00:17:07You let someone take care of you for once.
00:17:13What 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?
00:17:40Eric 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.
00:17:47Jason, Danielle, I would like to speak with you.
00:17:52Not as your boss, as a woman.
00:17:56Okay.
00:17:57Look, I know that Mason is charming.
00:18:03And he's your boss, so it's very hard to say no.
00:18:06But if he's taking advantage of you in any way, I can...
00:18:09Seriously, 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.
00:18:14Mason, you'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.
00:18:27He'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?
00:18:36Nope.
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.
00:18:59What 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.
00:19:13You're just saying that.
00:19:15Only you can see how incredible you are.
00:19:17You'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.
00:19:38Dominance and submission isn't a game to me.
00:19:41It's honest.
00:19:45We're all.
00:19:47It'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.
00:20:07Roger, 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.
00:20:17Wait, what do you mean disgraced?
00:20:19They lost their company a few months back.
00:20:22Huge as candle.
00:20:23Find out what happened.
00:20:24Vivian.
00:20:36Vivian.
00:20:37You came?
00:20:38Shh.
00:20:39Don't say my name.
00:20:40Someone's going to hear you.
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:43What about Matt?
00:20:45I'm kidding.
00:20:47Good girl.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:48Are 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.
00:20:57I asked you to show me.
00:21:14I'm not going anywhere.
00:21:16Then follow me.
00:21:17And here with me, you don't have to worry about your company, your personal life.
00:21:27Just obey me.
00:21:30Yes, sir.
00:21:31I 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, you know, marry me.
00:22:05I'm not sailing for you.
00:22:08You're here because I want you.
00:22:12Have you ever been spanked before?
00:22:13Want to try?
00:22:16Yes, sir.
00:22:24Wait.
00:22:25Are you Gerald Johnson's son?
00:22:31Hey, but...
00:22:32So what?
00:22:34He's my biggest...
00:22:35Was my biggest competitor.
00:22:38Why are you working for me?
00:22:39You want to talk business, though?
00:22:44I need to know I can trust you.
00:22:50I don't work for Gerald Johnson.
00:22:55Okay, as far as I'm concerned, I'm no longer his son.
00:23:00I'm sorry.
00:23:02Look, just, it was fun.
00:23:04But you need to get some sleep.
00:23:06You have a meeting at 8 a.m.
00:23:09Look, 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?
00:23:35Well, I'm certainly not paying you to flirt with employees.
00:23:37Jealous?
00:23:40Of course not.
00:23:41Look, if you wanted me to be a one-man woman, you could have just said so.
00:23:51Don'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.
00:23:59Okay.
00:24:02What if I swap Vivian's files with sloppy fake reports?
00:24:11Everyone will think she's losing it.
00:24:12That's brilliant.
00:24:15Yeah.
00:24:15And just in time for the gala.
00:24:23What 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.
00:24:52Put on the dress for me.
00:24:53If not, I'll have to punish you.
00:25:01What if I want to be punished?
00:25:16Yes, sweetie.
00:25:16Is that Vivian Rockwell?
00:25:18God, she looks incredible.
00:25:21Mason's a lucky guy.
00:25:22Hey, Chef Payne.
00:25:29Look, kid.
00:25:33I know who you are.
00:25:39And I know you need money.
00:25:44You don't know anything about me.
00:25:48Gerald Johnson's kid?
00:25:50Heir to the now-forgotten Johnson fortune.
00:25:52Your 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 $1 million to sabotage Vivian.
00:26:01And help me become CEO.
00:26:03What?
00:26:05$1 million.
00:26:07And all I have to do is sabotage Vivian.
00:26:09You heard me?
00:26:19Think of your family.
00:26:26Yeah.
00:26:28Yeah, I'll think about it.
00:26:29Yeah.
00:26:29Eric, no.
00:26:31Eric, no.
00:26:38Gentlemen, 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.
00:26:52I don't make sloppy mistakes.
00:26:55Maybe it's dementia setting it.
00:26:56That does happen in older people.
00:26:58Every man here, including Eric, is here to fight.
00:27:03I don't make sloppy mistakes.
00:27:04Maybe it's dementia setting it.
00:27:19That does happen in older people.
00:27:21Every man here, including Eric, is here to fuck me over.
00:27:29Like I said, I don't make...
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.
00:27:42Is he helping me?
00:27:44Dan, I can assure you, gentlemen, the investors will be very, very satisfied with the numbers.
00:27:48Well, it looks like you've 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.
00:28:00You just kissed one million dollars goodbye, kid.
00:28:06I'm loyal to my boss, Vivian Rockwell.
00:28:09Why did you do that back there?
00:28:22Do what?
00:28:23Stick up for me in front of the board.
00:28:25Why wouldn't I?
00:28:26I don't know.
00:28:27Maybe one million dollars?
00:28:29You heard that.
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:31If you think I'm just going to sit around and let you sabotage me, you've got another thing coming.
00:28:35I'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.
00:28:47Well, I'm your boss, okay?
00:28:50So it's my job to be strong and in control.
00:28:54Vivian, you're stronger than concrete.
00:28:57Okay?
00:28:57But even concrete cracks under too much pressure.
00:29:01Let me hold some of the weight for you.
00:29:04I'll hold you.
00:29:05I just need you to trust me.
00:29:07I just need you to trust me.
00:29:08I don't want to help you.
00:29:09I don't want to help you.
00:29:26What?
00:29:26We can't do this.
00:29:28I'm not just some young girl that gets swept away in lust.
00:29:32If you want me.
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.
00:29:53You're going to be the death of me, Vivian Rockwell.
00:29:57Hey, Vivian.
00:29:58Hey, let me help with those Sinclair problems.
00:29:59I don't know.
00:30:00I got it.
00:30:02Come to lunch with me.
00:30:10Can't.
00:30:11I 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.
00:30:19Don't lie to me.
00:30:22Mason is doing everything he can to steal the company I built.
00:30:25So I can't let anyone control me ever again.
00:30:28Not Mason, not you.
00:30:30I don't want to control you, Vivian.
00:30:35You want to put a collar on me and tell me what to do.
00:30:38You just don't get it.
00:30:39Even 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.
00:30:59Lift your skirt up.
00:31:22What?
00:31:22We're at the office.
00:31:23I told you to trust me.
00:31:37Shh.
00:31:43Don't want anyone hearing me.
00:31:45Shh.
00:31:52Hello?
00:31:54Anybody here?
00:31:55That was way too close.
00:32:14He almost caught us.
00:32:16It's fine.
00:32:17He didn't see us.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:18Easy for you to say.
00:32:19You have your whole life ahead of you.
00:32:21You don't know what it's like to have a company and a reputation to lose.
00:32:25You know, I just forget it.
00:32:27I'm done playing hot and cold with you.
00:32:30Eric, I didn't...
00:32:34Rockwell 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 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, Justin.
00:33:25Do you have that coffee over here?
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 that Mason Rockwell?
00:34:12Mr. Johnson.
00:34:14Please send that footage to the rest of the board immediately.
00:34:16Will do.
00:34:17Mr. Rockwell.
00:34:18Care to explain?
00:34:20You know, the meeting's adjourned.
00:34:25Coffee, boss.
00:34:33Eric, wait.
00:34:36Thank you for saving me with the investors back there.
00:34:41Just doing my job.
00:34:43And I'm sorry.
00:34:46I'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.
00:35:12I'm scared.
00:35:14Don't be.
00:35:15How dare your pathetic assistant be...
00:35:24Oh, this is rich.
00:35:31And I'm the monster for screwing my hot young assistant?
00:35:34I mean, you are such a hypocrite.
00:35:36Okay, Mason.
00:35:37Stop.
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.
00:36:34Like, this is all Vivian's fault.
00:36:36All right.
00:36:39Oh, Chaddy.
00:36:41Look, 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?
00:36:56You 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.
00:37:07Hey, you called the late meeting.
00:37:15I brought the bricks and deal files.
00:37:22You're a real tease, boss.
00:37:24I finally figured out what I want.
00:37:25Oh, yeah?
00:37:25What's that?
00:37:26I want you to take me to your VIP club right now.
00:37:37Tell me what else you want.
00:38:03Take me, goddammit.
00:38:05I mean, sir.
00:38:08Outside the office, I give the orders.
00:38:20Okay, wait.
00:38:21I can't look at me.
00:38:22Yes, you can.
00:38:24Tell me you're beautiful.
00:38:26What?
00:38:27I said, tell me you're beautiful.
00:38:31I'm beautiful.
00:38:32Now, say you're an amazing CEO.
00:38:38I'm an amazing CEO.
00:38:40Again.
00:38:41I'm beautiful, and I'm an amazing CEO.
00:38:46Good girl.
00:38:47Good girl.
00:38:47Little Miss Vanilla screwing her sister in a sex club.
00:39:15Mason's going to love this.
00:39:18Ma'am, my photos are now.
00:39:19What?
00:39:20No.
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.
00:39:25Let's go.
00:39:30What?
00:39:31You've got to be kidding me.
00:39:33What is this about?
00:39:36Hello?
00:39:37Viv, more bad news.
00:39:39Brixton Group is pulling out.
00:39:41What?
00:39:41What do you mean they're pulling out?
00:39:42We have a contract.
00:39:43I don't know what to tell you.
00:39:45They're willing to break the contract.
00:39:47The board is livid.
00:39:49I'll fix it.
00:39:53Fuck!
00:39:55Smooth, Viv.
00:39:56Very 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.
00:40:10Investors are spooked.
00:40:12We have a problem.
00:40:13I am in talks with their CEO.
00:40:15I have our top people working on securing replacements.
00:40:19The situation will be contained.
00:40:21This situation shouldn't have happened to begin with.
00:40:24We need results, not promises.
00:40:26Then what is it that you are implying?
00:40:27If you can't rectify this, the board will be forced to hold a vote of no confidence.
00:40:47Hey, you okay?
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:51No.
00:40:51I feel like I'm losing control of everything.
00:40:55Mason has the board eating out of his hand and I'm pretty sure they're going to vote
00:41:03me 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?
00:41:16I know.
00:41:17I'm dead serious.
00:41:19Vivian.
00:41:19It's 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?
00:41:29Fl-
00:41:29So we went from relationship to fling?
00:41:32What's next?
00:41:33The mistake?
00:41:34Come, Eric.
00:41:35Forget it.
00:41:39Eric.
00:41:39Eric.
00:41:44You'll never believe what I saw last night.
00:41:46What?
00:41:46Vivian.
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.
00:41:58We're all big amped.
00:42:01You know, if we can catch them doing this in the office, that is an HR violation.
00:42:09That's exactly what we need to take that old hag down.
00:42:12The board meeting is happening now.
00:42:19What?
00:42:20That's impossible.
00:42:21It doesn't start for another hour.
00:42:23I know.
00:42:23Mason moved it up and Danielle let it slip in the break room.
00:42:26We got to go.
00:42:26That bastard.
00:42:27I know they're trying to sabotage me again.
00:42:30Go.
00:42:30If we redirect company resources.
00:42:33Oh, how nice of you to join us.
00:42:36Please, continue.
00:42:39Like I was saying, if we redirect the company's resources into this expansion...
00:42:43Too risky.
00:42:45Quite frankly, foolish.
00:42:47Afraid I disagree.
00:42:49That'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 does it need risky ambition?
00:42:58They 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.
00:43:09That's what this company needs right now.
00:43:11Not gambles and risks.
00:43:13Oh, so what, Mason?
00:43:33You just sleeping with Danielle, or 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.
00:43:47Does it even matter?
00:43:49I mean, she is outperforming you.
00:43:51In 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 pretend 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.
00:44:34You wanted to see me, boss?
00:44:35Yes.
00:44:36First 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.
00:44:54No, stop.
00:44:55Let me explain.
00:44:58I was raised to believe that power is everything.
00:45:02And emotions, especially love, are a weakness.
00:45:07So 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.
00:45:25Why are you attracted to me?
00:45:27Because you're brilliant.
00:45:29You're strong.
00:45:31You're independent.
00:45:32And, well, sexy as hell, too.
00:45:35Oh, shit.
00:45:35I mean, how is someone your age so perfect?
00:45:47Are you really going to let something like that stay between us?
00:45:58I...
00:46:05Wait, wait, stop.
00:46:08We can't, we can't, we can't do this here.
00:46:10We shouldn't.
00:46:13We certainly should.
00:46:16We can't, we can't, we can't, we can't do this here.
00:46:46What are you doing?
00:46:50Shh.
00:46:52Look at that.
00:47:01Gotcha.
00:47:06What are you doing after work?
00:47:08Maybe we could do something.
00:47:10Something that's big.
00:47:14It's very mysterious of you.
00:47:16Mystery is fun.
00:47:18Oh.
00:47:19Besides, you owe me for distracting me in the office.
00:47:22No, I don't recall distracting anyone.
00:47:25Really?
00:47:26Mm-hmm.
00:47:27What do you call what we just did?
00:47:29Maybe a little distraction.
00:47:30Mm-hmm.
00:47:34Can I ask you something?
00:47:37What 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.
00:47:49After my dad lost the company, the money, everything.
00:47:54I really admire that.
00:47:58You have great work ethic.
00:48:00You're dedicated, loyal.
00:48:02I'm going to talk to HR about a raise.
00:48:06I don't want a hand out.
00:48:08Trust me.
00:48:08It's not a hand out.
00:48:11And you're pretty much the best assistant I've ever had.
00:48:14You burned it.
00:48:15So, the night is still young.
00:48:25Mm-hmm.
00:48:26Maybe we could go to the club and end it with a bang.
00:48:31Come on.
00:48:32Do you trust me?
00:48:49Yes, sir.
00:48:51Remember your safe word.
00:48:52Strawberry.
00:48:55Give me your hands.
00:49:02You're not the CEO of Rockwell here.
00:49:10You don't have to command, control, or carry anyone else.
00:49:16Tonight, you're mine.
00:49:19Okay.
00:49:24Tell me.
00:49:25What is it that you want?
00:49:27I want to stop thinking.
00:49:29I want to stop fighting all this.
00:49:31I just...
00:49:32I just want to let go.
00:49:33And surrender.
00:49:36But he's here.
00:49:37And don't move him.
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:44That's it.
00:49:46Let go.
00:49:47No boardroom.
00:49:48No bullshit.
00:49:50Just you and the freedom to feel.
00:49:58Look at you.
00:49:59So powerful and strong.
00:50:01Every inch of you is mine tonight.
00:50:05Oh.
00:50:21Oh, perfect.
00:50:22Just what I need when the audit starts tomorrow.
00:50:24Attention, Ms. Rockwell.
00:50:25An anonymous complaint has been submitted regarding behavior by senior leadership that may constitute
00:50:31a violation of company policy on workplace relationships, professional conduct, while
00:50:36no names were given.
00:50:38The description strongly implies an inappropriate relationship between a member of the executive
00:50:44team and a subordinate shit.
00:50:47Shit, shit.
00:50:47Hey, hey.
00:50:51How are you doing?
00:50:51You good?
00:50:52I'm just checking on you.
00:50:54Yeah, why?
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:55Well, 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?
00:51:06They're together.
00:51:07Are you seeing this?
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:08Wow.
00:51:09Maybe we can fix this.
00:51:31No.
00:51:31No, no, no.
00:51:32Eric.
00:51:33Vivian.
00:51:34Whatever this is, whatever this is, it's over, okay?
00:51:37I can't, I cannot do this anymore.
00:51:39Vivian.
00:51:39No.
00:51:40No, I swear to God, everything I've ever worked for in my entire life is vanishing right
00:51:45in front of my eyes and for what?
00:51:47For what?
00:51:48Some quick fuck with a kid?
00:51:51After all this, that's what you see this as?
00:51:53How did they get those photos?
00:52:00Have you, have you been playing me this entire time?
00:52:04Vivian, did you, did you just take that million dollars from Mason?
00:52:07You just try to sabotage me, humiliate me?
00:52:09Wait, no, 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.
00:52:21You 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
00:52:28have in your life.
00:52:31Look, just fuck this.
00:52:32Consider this my resignation notice.
00:52:41Oh, God.
00:52:43Now what?
00:52:46Open it.
00:52:49You are 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.
00:53:09And 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.
00:53:18What do you two want?
00:53:24Simple, really.
00:53:25You step down.
00:53:27Quietly.
00:53:28You name Mason your new CEO and me your chief strategy officer.
00:53:33Look, 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.
00:53:45I had a feeling you'd see it our way.
00:53:52To the board of Rockwell Inc.
00:53:53I have disgraced our company with my actions.
00:53:57Hereby resign as CEO.
00:54:08You're not thinking about sending that, are you?
00:54:11I don't have a choice.
00:54:13Danielle and Mason are blackmailing me.
00:54:16Blackmailing?
00:54:16Yeah.
00:54:18How?
00:54:18Well, not only do they have the photos of us kissing, they have photos of us being intimate and leaving the Velvet Room.
00:54:26Fuck.
00:54:27Okay, 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.
00:54:41No.
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.
00:55:00This gets ugly.
00:55:03Are you with me?
00:55:10You 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.
00:55:23I'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.
00:55:34I need to be free.
00:55:37Well, let the shit show begin.
00:55:45Eric, I...
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.
00:56:01Well, let's hope they're real enough to handle the fallout.
00:56:09Hey, God, what 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, I 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,
00:56:52the 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 because it deserves nothing less.
00:57:16You were brilliant, as usual.
00:57:18Now we turn the tables on Mason and Danielle.
00:57:20Well, I'm going to be Rockwell's new CEO.
00:57:28Well, I'm going to be Rockwell's new CEO.
00:57:29Before 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,
00:57:50along 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, 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.
00:58:19I have always prioritized the success of Rockwell, Inc.
00:58:24of my own feelings.
00:58:26Now it's time that our leadership do the same.
00:58:31Well, this changes everything.
00:58:37Come 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.
00:58:52Since 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.
00:59:05Speak of the devil.
00:59:07This is the little boy toy himself.
00:59:08This meeting is for senior leadership only.
00:59:12I 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.
00:59:29What a mess.
00:59:30To 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.
00:59:45Relax.
00:59:46I know things seem bleak, but we still have some on our side.
00:59:50It's not over until the fat lady sings.
00:59:51That's right.
00:59:52Look.
00:59:53No matter what happens, I'd buy you.
00:59:54Okay?
00:59:55I'm not going to lose my company.
00:59:56You won't.
00:59:57This could change everything.
00:59:58We have to be fair.
00:59:59Evidence exists on both sides.
01:00:03All the votes have been cast.
01:00:27Let's count them.
01:00:28count them. Just breathe. It's okay. This is it. And the final vote is the votes are
01:00:50unanimous. Vivian Rockwell, you will remain a CEO. Mason Jones, you are to be removed from the
01:01:01company effective immediately. Danielle Green, we expect your resignation forthright. This is
01:01:08absurd. You can't you can't oust me for filing some bad paperwork. Come on. We've invested just as
01:01:15much to this company as this crown. And this is how it ends. Well, actually, Danielle, it ended when
01:01:21you betrayed the company. All things done in the dark will one day come to light. Don't forget,
01:01:27Vivian, we're married. So that means part of Rockwell Inc. really belongs to me. Well, that's
01:01:35not what our prenup said. I'm divorcing you, Mason. No, no. I'll refuse to resign. I'll sue. I'll go to
01:01:45the media. The board is going to regret this. That is enough. If the two of you don't remove
01:01:53yourselves from the premises immediately, security will gladly escort you out.
01:02:00It won't be necessary.
01:02:01Careful, sweetie. Careful. Careful.
01:02:10Ms. Rockwell, need I remind you that our decision does not excuse your behavior. You're a senior
01:02:19employee sleeping with a subordinate. I understand. And again, I apologize for blurring
01:02:26any boundaries. But let me be very clear. I'm not sleeping with Eric. I'm in love.
01:02:39What did you say?
01:02:43Let me be very transparent. I will be exploring a relationship with Eric. And if anyone here has
01:02:49a problem with that, I will resign. Vivian, you don't have to do this, you know. Some risks are worth
01:02:57taking. Well, we will allow a relationship on one condition. What is that? That he be placed in a
01:03:12different department and cannot work under you in any capacity. I can agree to that. Then this meeting
01:03:21is adjourned. Thank you.
01:03:29Listen, I'm proud of how you handled everything back there. Let's hope I never have to do something
01:03:34like that again. Yeah. There is one thing I didn't address, though. What's that? I'm in love with you
01:03:42too, Vivian.
01:03:52See? You don't have to choose between power or love. Because they're both yours. Just like how you're mine.
01:03:58take me to the pelvic room to celebrate, sir. How very unprofessional of you, Ms. Rockwell.
01:04:11Good girl.
