00:11:45you being a lecturer
00:11:48maybe some sort of power imbalance

00:12:46ok
00:12:57ok
00:12:58ok
00:12:58ok
00:12:59ok
00:13:01ok
00:13:25Wow, that dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:29How did you know my size?
00:13:31My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:13:34I could guess your weight too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:13:41This room must have cost a fortune.
00:13:43Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:13:53I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:13:57You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:00No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:04I'm going to show you what it comes from.
00:14:53I'm going to show you what it comes from.
00:15:33I'm going to show you what it comes from.
00:15:33I'm going to show you what it comes from.
00:15:40I hope you're not too good for boxed wine, though.
00:15:42Oh, I am never too good for boxed wine.
00:15:46Oh, gosh.
00:15:48This has been such a whirlwind.
00:15:50I am falling so hard.
00:15:52Just be careful, honey.
00:15:56I know.
00:15:58I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:00I mean, that merger is heating up.
00:16:02All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:05They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:08You're the only person I've told.
00:16:10We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:12The last thing he needs is media attention.
00:16:14It's also the last thing you need with your mom.
00:16:16How is Teresa doing?
00:16:18Better.
00:16:18They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:22That's great news.
00:16:24I really need to keep this job.
00:16:32Are you just going to stand there or we're going to get to work?
00:16:34Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:16:36We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:16:40Of course I know what I'm doing.
00:16:59Are you just firing on me?
00:17:02Not me.
00:17:04But somebody is.
00:17:07Those came across my desk earlier today.
00:17:09And I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep them out of the press.
00:17:14I'm not a married man.
00:17:15I can date somebody.
00:17:16Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:19She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:20Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem.
00:17:24The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:17:29They like stability.
00:17:30Especially after that one in Gotham went rogue.
00:17:34Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:17:38I don't think that exists.
00:17:41I got news for you, pal.
00:17:43It does.
00:17:4435 years.
00:17:52I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:17:56But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:03We are playing with fire, but I care about him so much.
00:18:07I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:17Well, well, well, what do we have here?
00:18:22Excuse me?
00:18:23I'm Mombardi.
00:18:24Bruno Mombardi.
00:18:26Hi.
00:18:26I'm Vanessa.
00:18:27Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:18:30We have so much in common.
00:18:31I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:18:33I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:18:35But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:18:40What?
00:18:41Happy hour.
00:18:42Teenies only.
00:18:43Teenies?
00:18:45Martinis.
00:18:46Teenies to bikinis.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:50That's funny.
00:18:51Yeah.
00:18:52What'd you say we get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:18:59Are all your pickup lines martini based?
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:07We need to talk.
00:19:09Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:12Oh, okay.
00:19:13I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:17Ex-wife.
00:19:18What do you need?
00:19:19What's the problem?
00:19:20I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:23How can you be unhappy?
00:19:25It's fair.
00:19:25I paid you more than half.
00:19:28I still want you.
00:19:31No baby voice, Ruby.
00:19:33Okay, we're through.
00:19:35Fine.
00:19:36Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:19:37But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:19:40The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:19:43What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:19:45You are entitled to none of that.
00:19:47We'll see about that.
00:19:49You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:19:51You wouldn't dare.
00:19:58You need to get off.
00:19:59Come on.
00:19:59Out the door.
00:20:08Hey there.
00:20:10Oh, sorry.
00:20:11I'm wiped.
00:20:12I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:16It's none of my business.
00:20:17It's over between her and I.
00:20:20She does not think so.
00:20:24So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:20:27I'm not really hungry.
00:20:30You sure about that?
00:20:34I don't think it's a good idea.
00:20:36Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:20:40We can just keep it simple.
00:20:41Have some good food.
00:20:43Take our mind off things.
00:20:44No pressure.
00:20:45He's right.
00:20:46We're both under a lot of stress.
00:20:47But I can't put my stress on him.
00:20:50So, dinner?
00:20:51Keep it simple.
00:20:52Keep it simple.
00:20:54Keep it simple.
00:21:04This is simple.
00:21:07You're worth it.
00:21:12I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:17You too.
00:21:18I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:20I'm worried about us.
00:21:22Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:24All eyes are on you.
00:21:26With this and your divorce, don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:21:30Unfit for what?
00:21:32The merger is just money.
00:21:34And I have money.
00:21:35But I don't have love.
00:21:39I want to be with you.
00:21:43I don't know.
00:21:46Why are you so hesitant?
00:21:48I don't know if I can tell him.
00:21:52What's going on?
00:21:53My mom is cancer.
00:21:58She has cancer.
00:21:59And I just need to focus on work right now because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:04You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:05No.
00:22:06Sebastian, that's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:08I don't want your charity.
00:22:10My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:16Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:18She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:20I admire you.
00:22:22I don't need to be admired.
00:22:24I need to be understood.
00:22:27Understood.
00:22:29I think we should slow down a little.
00:22:32What are you talking about?
00:22:34Maybe just be friends.
00:22:37I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:22:40I don't think I can be anything more.
00:22:54I see you.
00:22:57What?
00:22:58I see you.
00:22:59You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:01I am just trying to work here.
00:23:03I don't need any distractions.
00:23:05Let me guess.
00:23:06Your job's a joke.
00:23:07You're broke.
00:23:08Your love life's the OA.
00:23:09It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:13It hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
00:23:21No.
00:23:24Babe.
00:23:25Come on.
00:23:28Release the attention.
00:23:34Maybe this is for the better.
00:23:36I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:23:38This is the only way.
00:23:41Uh...
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:43That's the spot.
00:23:44That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:23:56Oh.
00:23:57Sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:23:59Hey, Sebastian.
00:24:00Don't worry.
00:24:01We're off the clock.
00:24:07This is hot.
00:24:08Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:13Uh.
00:24:16Playing hard again?
00:24:18I like that.
00:24:20Brew no likey.
00:24:23You big stud.
00:24:25You got this.
00:24:26She's yours.
00:24:27Two can play this game.
00:24:29I'll be there for you.
00:24:37Hey.
00:24:38I'm sorry about...
00:24:40There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:24:41We're both adults.
00:24:43You don't owe me anything.
00:24:45He was just being...
00:24:46I don't care about him.
00:24:49I just...
00:24:50I don't know.
00:24:50I thought that you were different.
00:24:52I...
00:24:52I have to let this happen.
00:24:54You know what?
00:24:55I think you're right.
00:24:57I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:00No.
00:25:02More like work colleagues.
00:25:07Because I had hoped that we were gonna build something together.
00:25:10But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:13It was built off hard work.
00:25:15Sebastian.
00:25:16No.
00:25:16And I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:25:21But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:25:26You're just after my money.
00:25:29Sebastian, I don't...
00:25:37How about we finish where we started?
00:25:39Get off.
00:25:40What about all that break room talk?
00:25:41I thought I told you never touch me again.
00:25:44Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:25:46Get off me, Bruno.
00:25:47I'm not interested.
00:25:48Don't be that interested.
00:25:50Don't beăm.
00:25:50Eh...
00:25:51Let's get in!
00:25:57Don't regret this.
00:26:03Tell me everything.
00:26:06Ugh...
00:26:06It was terrible, what I did.
00:26:09But this merger was so important to Sebastian,
00:26:11I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:12You are never gonna lose it for him. I can't be a distraction to him. Maybe he needs a distraction
00:26:19What did you do?
00:26:22I almost kissed Bruno
00:26:25The aggressive guy only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so we could think about the merger. I
00:26:32Hope you know what you're doing
00:26:34I
00:26:37Wish we had met in college
00:26:40Things would be so different
00:26:47Okay, I don't know how to fix this girl. You can't fix being in love
00:26:54What do you think Sebastian's doing right now
00:27:03What is wrong with me, I mean you have everything and even after this merger you'll have even more you
00:27:10can have any woman you desire
00:27:15Boy, don't ask I am humble
00:27:22You'd give it all up and be with her wouldn't you
00:27:27Well, if you love her then you should just go to her
00:27:33What do you have to drink in this dump ruby, what are you doing here come in I'm sorry
00:27:39I was a cranky bitch earlier. What are you doing here?
00:27:42Well, things got a little heated earlier
00:27:44Well, things got a little heated earlier and I thought I should come make amends
00:27:49Is it me?
00:27:52Is it hot in here?
00:28:17I've missed you
00:28:18I've missed you
00:28:19We were so good together
00:28:34Let me take you to the bedroom
00:28:47Let me take you to the bedroom
00:28:49Ruby
00:28:52Just put this on
00:28:54Is this about that bitch?
00:28:57Don't call her that
00:28:59You'll regret this Sebastian Armstrong
00:29:01Mom?
00:29:22Hey, hey, get off of me
00:29:26Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
00:29:28What is that?
00:29:32You must have dropped it
00:29:37Oh my god, somebody's been spying on us
00:29:47Thanks for the statement, ma'am
00:29:48Uh, we'll keep an eye out for the perp
00:29:50In the meantime, try to get some rest
00:29:53Good night
00:29:57Thank you
00:30:00Yeah
00:30:00Yeah, of course
00:30:03How did you know where I lived?
00:30:07I looked your address up at work
00:30:09I was coming over to apologize
00:30:11About what?
00:30:13Look, I was a jerk earlier and I overreacted
00:30:16It's okay
00:30:18Vanessa
00:30:21People in my position have a very hard time with dating
00:30:24Everyone only seems to want one thing for me
00:30:26And that's why I have to be protective
00:30:28I've been blinded by love before
00:30:31Ruby?
00:30:33That obvious, huh?
00:30:34She's, um
00:30:35Bitch?
00:30:37Yeah
00:30:38And she also could put this hold on people
00:30:41And I didn't realize it till much later that she's
00:30:44Just a gold digger
00:30:46And she never loved me, she only loved my bank account
00:30:49And that's why I tend to be defensive
00:30:53Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us
00:30:57You have this merger, I don't want you to lose sight of it
00:31:03And you have your mother
00:31:05How's she doing?
00:31:07She has her last treatment coming up, so
00:31:10We're hopeful
00:31:11Yeah
00:31:13She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her
00:31:18And she carries that guilt
00:31:21The other day she said that sometimes she wished she had died
00:31:27So I could live
00:31:30She's a strong woman just like you
00:31:32Look, I appreciate your generosity
00:31:35But as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain
00:31:39Boss
00:31:40And secretary
00:31:44Deal?
00:31:47Deal
00:31:50Under one condition
00:31:52What is it?
00:31:55You replace this
00:31:59Sure
00:32:00You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:02I never used it
00:32:04Okay, well you need to go down to La Tour Boutique
00:32:07And get yourself another cocktail dress
00:32:09I'm not going to do that
00:32:12Well you need to because I need you to attend a dinner with me
00:32:17No dates
00:32:18No, no, it's not a date
00:32:20Personal assistant, strictly business
00:32:22You feed me the names of people that I should know
00:32:25It's boring, but the food is good
00:32:29So what do you say?
00:32:30Deal?
00:32:31You know?
00:32:31That's my one condition
00:32:32You really are a good negotiator
00:32:39You should probably go
00:32:44Okay
00:32:53Can I help you?
00:32:55Yes, yes, I am looking for a dress
00:32:57Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe
00:32:59Oh, probably
00:33:02Sorry, we don't have anything in the Hobo Casual collection
00:33:06Oh, I know, I know
00:33:07I know, I don't usually shop at places like this
00:33:10But I actually walk by here all the time and stare at that dress in the window
00:33:14Not to cut you off, I'm pretty busy here
00:33:17And we only serve to high-end clients
00:33:22Okay
00:33:25Maybe I'm in the wrong store
00:33:26Maybe you are
00:33:27Maybe you are
00:33:28I should probably go
00:33:30You should
00:33:33No, wait just a minute
00:33:34What is going on here?
00:33:35I don't belong here
00:33:36Of course you do
00:33:37Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome
00:33:39You weren't very welcoming to my friend here
00:33:41I didn't know she was
00:33:42That shouldn't matter
00:33:43You don't have to do this
00:33:45Yes, I do
00:33:46You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect
00:33:49I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong
00:33:52I'm really sorry
00:33:53My boyfriend just dumped me and I'm in a terrible mood
00:33:57It's okay
00:33:57I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing
00:34:00I love them
00:34:01Also that dress in the window
00:34:02I love it too
00:34:03But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you
00:34:07Plus I have at least food
00:34:08I'm oversharing
00:34:09Just wrap up the dress
00:34:11We have a big event to attend to tonight
00:34:29Cause I don't want to be with you
00:34:32Sorry, I know that this is a lot
00:34:34I don't want to let you down
00:34:36You won't
00:34:37Just stick with me
00:34:38I have some cocktail hour negotiating
00:34:44Oh God
00:34:46I didn't realize they let trash in here
00:34:48Ruby, this isn't the time or the place
00:34:50Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls
00:34:53Our divorce terms are unacceptable
00:34:55Sorry, Mr. Cromwell
00:34:56That Sebastian is about to give you a speech
00:34:57I'm sorry
00:34:58Who the fuck are you?
00:35:00This is a conversation between my husband and I
00:35:04You mean your ex-husband
00:35:13Oh no, I'm so sorry
00:35:16I'm such a klutz
00:35:21And now ladies and gentlemen
00:35:24May we present
00:35:25Mr. Sebastian Armstrong
00:35:31I think it's about time we got legal involved
00:35:33To talk about these terms and details
00:35:35Before it goes to legal, should I have my guys look at it?
00:35:38Your guys
00:35:41Just keep taking notes
00:35:42You're new here
00:35:43So maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating
00:35:46Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two
00:35:53Thank you
00:35:54Thank you Vanessa
00:35:56Let me know if you need anything else
00:35:58I need some of that
00:36:00Damn, she's hot
00:36:02Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink
00:36:05Am I right boys?
00:36:07I didn't know that you two were an item
00:36:09There's a lot you don't know about me, Seb
00:36:11It's Mr. Armstrong
00:36:13Oh, so formal
00:36:15This company needed a little joke like me
00:36:19Guys, this isn't a pissing contest
00:36:21Yeah, I know
00:36:23Cause I already got the prize
00:36:25So, you are dating
00:36:27I mean if you call getting freaky in a two star hotel dating
00:36:31Come on, keep it classy
00:36:34You won't be doing anything classy tonight
00:36:36Respect the workplace
00:36:39How do you chill?
00:36:41You ain't got money like us
00:36:43Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen
00:36:46Oh!
00:36:49Stop!
00:36:50Stop!
00:36:52You're done!
00:36:53Get out of here, pack your shit up
00:36:54We don't do sexual harassment at this company
00:36:57Okay, big boss man
00:36:59I'll leave
00:37:00But you're gonna regret this
00:37:02You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of
00:37:06Just leave, son
00:37:07It's over
00:37:11Don't worry, Sebastian
00:37:13I got your back
00:37:15Back in my day
00:37:16Guys like him would have gotten it much worse
00:37:19This won't affect our negotiations at all
00:37:22It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room
00:37:29Oh my god
00:37:38Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:37:39Someone vandalized my car
00:37:40What?
00:37:42Are you okay?
00:37:48Stop
00:37:49There
00:37:55I can't see their faces, they're wearing masks
00:37:59The timestamp says it's from this afternoon so it can't be
00:38:01Bruno
00:38:04He was in my office at that time
00:38:07I'll send this to the authorities
00:38:08Please
00:38:09I'm scared
00:38:14I'll protect you
00:38:20Oh there's my sweet daughter
00:38:22Hi doc, how's my mom doing?
00:38:24Hi Vanessa, your mother is doing exceptionally well
00:38:28We couldn't be happier with her results
00:38:30And as you know, the entire staff loves her
00:38:33Just trying to make the best of it
00:38:35Hopefully this will be her last treatment and send her cancer into remission
00:38:39The only sad thing is, Ms. Porter won't be brightening up our oncology ward anymore
00:38:44Stop!
00:38:46I'll leave you too
00:38:51How are you honey?
00:38:52I'm good
00:38:53Work's really busy
00:38:55Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything
00:38:58I just can't wait to get out of here
00:39:00Food sucks
00:39:02Are you okay? You seem a bit distracted
00:39:06I have to tell you something, Mom
00:39:07I don't want you to worry
00:39:09Well, I'm gonna worry whether you tell me or not
00:39:12I think I have a stalker
00:39:14What?
00:39:15Someone vandalized my car
00:39:16They wrote
00:39:17A bad word
00:39:18A magic marker
00:39:19Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get that off
00:39:22I know, Mom
00:39:24I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work
00:39:27This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi
00:39:29He has been all over me and it's starting to weird me out
00:39:32You said Bruno Lombardi? John Lombardi's son?
00:39:39John Lombardi runs a crime family
00:39:41Yes, and Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne
00:39:47A crime family?
00:39:49Yeah, your uncle had some run-in with them years ago
00:39:52They're thugs
00:39:53And if Bruno is anything like his father, you want to be swiping left, like the kids say
00:39:59I think he got fired today, what if he blames me for everything?
00:40:02Kids today, they always want to blame somebody else for their issues, they can't take responsibility
00:40:07But not my baby girl
00:40:12The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs, human trafficking?
00:40:17Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison
00:40:21And he's grooming Bruno to take over
00:40:24They've got some troubles going on, so, honey, please be careful
00:40:28I have to warn Sebastian
00:40:31I have to go, Mom
00:40:32I love you
00:40:51You need a replacement for the horn-mobile
00:40:54You know I can accept this
00:40:56You have to
00:40:57I really can't
00:40:59Then why not?
00:41:01Sebastian
00:41:03I'm worried
00:41:05I found out that Bruno has ties to the Mafia
00:41:08No, our HR fully vetted him
00:41:11I'm sure there's ways of skirting that
00:41:12Word is, he's being groomed to become head of the crime family
00:41:16Then why would he want a job here?
00:41:18I don't know, he could be dangerous
00:41:20Look, you don't need to worry about that anymore
00:41:23Because I fired him
00:41:25That's why I'm worried
00:41:27Look, I have the best security that money can buy
00:41:31We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno
00:41:35And we need to focus on the good that we can do
00:41:37And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight
00:41:43Charity?
00:41:44Yeah, it's for cancer research
00:41:45Oh, I would love to
00:41:47Hmm?
00:41:48But I don't know
00:41:50Look, somebody just dropped out last minute
00:41:52You'd be doing me a big, big favor
00:41:54It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6pm tonight
00:42:00One condition
00:42:02Okay, what?
00:42:06To take the car back
00:42:10Fine
00:42:12See you tonight
00:42:17Damn
00:42:18He is a good negotiator
00:42:31You must be the new model
00:42:34You're on stage in five
00:42:36On stage?
00:42:37What is this?
00:42:39This is a charity auction
00:42:40People are going to bid on you for dates
00:42:43No, no, no, no
00:42:44I can't do this
00:42:45Are you kidding?
00:42:45This is going to be fun
00:42:47And it's for a good cause, girl
00:42:48You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change
00:42:51Yeah
00:42:54Going once, going twice
00:42:57And she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date
00:43:03And this is a new charity record for us

00:43:09Oh

00:43:18Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter
00:43:24I just sold for $500,000
00:43:26Set a new charity record
00:43:27That crowd?
00:43:29It's going to eat you up
00:43:30And remember, ladies and gents
00:43:32Your bids will be going towards a very special cause
00:43:36Cancer Research Labs
00:43:38Standing next to me is our beautiful last model, Vanessa Porter
00:43:42The lucky winner will be taking this lovely lady on a date
00:43:45And just dinner
00:43:46No funny business
00:43:48Okay, I'm talking to you, Mr. Wilstein
00:43:50The bidding will start at $300,000
00:43:55$500,000
00:43:57$500,000

00:44:37What's her name?
00:44:38Um, anyway, sir, please come up and claim your prize
00:44:43This is going to be fun
00:44:49You cannot go out on that date, it could be dangerous
00:44:51I don't have a choice
00:44:54You always have a choice
00:44:56It's in the next room, it's in a controlled space
00:44:58Why are you doing this?
00:45:00Because he wants me to back out
00:45:02He wants to make you look bad
00:45:05I'm doing this for the charity
00:45:06It's just dinner in public, it'll be fine
00:45:11Okay, I trust you
00:45:14I also want to see what Bruno's up to
00:45:17What's his game plan?
00:45:23You know, for a winning bet of $1 million, you'd think they'd serve better hooch
00:45:28I'd rather be home, drinking my wine from a box
00:45:32We have so much in common
00:45:35I'd rather be at your home too
00:45:37What do you want from me?
00:45:39What are you talking about, baby?
00:45:41I just want to get to know you
00:45:43Oh, I have been very clear
00:45:46I am not interested
00:45:50Don't you know who I am?
00:45:51Oh, I know who you think you are
00:45:55I've paid a lot of money for this date
00:45:58In the casino, I can make things very difficult for you and your little boyfriend
00:46:06You know?
00:46:09This wine ain't that bad
00:46:16Where are you going?
00:46:18The date ain't over yet, sweetheart
00:46:20Can a girl use the restroom?
00:46:33Stop playing games, babe
00:46:35We know what that $1 million bought me
00:46:42I'm good, everybody
00:46:43I'm good
00:46:49Oh
00:46:59Knock knock
00:46:59Hey, how was the date?
00:47:03And, um, who was this from?
00:47:05Uh, from Bruno, with all my love
00:47:07Thanks for the magical night
00:47:08Well, I guess that answers that
00:47:10No, Sebastian, that's
00:47:12It wasn't...
00:47:12No, no, it's fine
00:47:13I have some work I need to be doing now
00:47:25I'm just throwing this out there, but I think I'm entitled to more like 65%
00:47:32Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine
00:47:33Fine? Sebastian, that's robbery
00:47:36Your head isn't in the game
00:47:38Your head isn't in the game
00:47:39We need to wrap this up so we can send it before Congress and push this merger through soon
00:47:44A good negotiation is where both parties walk away equally unhappy
00:47:49And right now, Sebastian, I'm very happy
00:47:58That's it, Sebastian
00:47:59I'm done
00:48:01It's over
00:48:04Wait, what do you mean that it's over?
00:48:06We need a break
00:48:06Listen, why don't we take a long weekend
00:48:09You can go home and refocus on this merger
00:48:12And I can spend some time with my grandkids
00:48:15We've spent every day at this damn office
00:48:17We can come back on Tuesday and wrap this thing up
00:48:23Okay
00:48:24Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea
00:48:26Let me...
00:48:28Everyone, listen up
00:48:29Everyone can have all for the week with pay
00:48:41So, do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:48:43How would I? I just found out I have the week off
00:48:45Well, I'd like to take you to dinner
00:48:48Sebastian, I...
00:48:50I can't, but thank you
00:48:53My mom's still in the hospital, so I have to go visit her
00:48:55Well, maybe she'd like a box of chocolates
00:48:58Yeah, maybe she would
00:49:04Can I come in?
00:49:08Fine
00:49:09I'd love to have a drink, but I can't
00:49:11Well, no one offered you one
00:49:12I can't, because I'm pregnant
00:49:17You're pregnant
00:49:18I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian
00:49:20But you're the father
00:49:23That's impossible
00:49:24We broke up three months ago
00:49:30Can't you tell? I'm three months pregnant
00:49:33No, no, no, I can't be the father
00:49:35Okay, well, I have a paternity test and ultrasound that's a different
00:49:41Right there
00:49:57Well, if this is true, then I'm not the type of man that runs from his responsibilities
00:50:02That's what I love about you
00:50:04You're so responsible
00:50:07You need to go
00:50:09I need time to think, Ruby
00:50:11Leave that there for you
00:50:22I don't know how I'm gonna tell Vanessa, but I have to be honest with her
00:50:26I think we got him
00:50:30I hope so
00:50:31You riding whore on her car did nothing
00:50:34And me leaving those photos that I took when I broke into her house also didn't work
00:50:37Okay, well, I'm still out two grand for a fake paternity test
00:50:41I really thought Sebastian hitting me would ruin this merger
00:50:44Okay, I still want the merger to happen, moron
00:50:47I just want the divorce to happen after so that I get half
00:50:50And if that doesn't work, we'll move on to Plan C
00:50:53And eliminate Sebastian altogether
00:50:56I know exactly where he hangs out when he needs time alone
00:50:59He'll pay for humiliating a Lombardi
00:51:26Thank you
00:51:27Thank you
00:51:34That is beautiful and delicious
00:51:39Who's it from?
00:51:40I hope it's not from Bruno
00:51:42Oh my god
00:51:47If you change your mind, I'm here for you
00:51:50With all my love, Sebastian
00:51:59It's a plane ticket
00:52:02To Italy
00:52:05You must go
00:52:07I'm not leaving you, mom
00:52:13Two tickets
00:52:18Mom, how are you feeling?
00:52:21I'm feeling like I need to see the Italian countryside
00:52:24And eat some authentic Italian
00:52:27Looks like we're going to Italy
00:52:29Yes
00:52:43Welcome
00:52:44Hi
00:52:48Nice to finally meet you
00:52:49Oh, lovely to meet you too
00:52:51Yeah, come on in
00:52:52Thank you
00:52:53So, Miss Porter
00:52:56How are you doing?
00:52:58Wonderful
00:52:59Just wonderful
00:53:00Thank you so much for bringing my daughter and I out here
00:53:04And that private jet experience
00:53:06That is the way to travel
00:53:09And the food was delicious
00:53:10What's mine is yours
00:53:12So, feel free to make yourself at home
00:53:18Mmm
00:53:20Mom, where are you going? Are you feeling okay?
00:53:22I'm fine
00:53:22Absolutely awesome
00:53:24I have never felt better
00:53:27Yeah
00:53:27So, I'm just off now to find myself an Italian man
00:53:31Mom
00:53:32You are in the right place then
00:53:34Oh, do not encourage her
00:53:38I'm going to leave you guys alone
00:53:39Enjoy
00:53:42Well, cheers to that
00:53:44Cheers to that
00:53:48I need to come clean
00:53:52Bruno and I...
00:53:53Look, I don't care but...
00:53:54No, listen
00:53:54We were never a thing
00:53:56You and Bruno never had an affair?
00:53:58No, I faked the whole thing
00:54:00Why?
00:54:02I didn't know how to break it off with you
00:54:05I was afraid I was a distraction
00:54:08So, I lied
00:54:09And it blew up in my face
00:54:13Vanessa, I need you to understand something very clearly
00:54:16I'm not distracted by us together
00:54:19I'm distracted by us apart
00:54:34And I also want to be honest with you about something
00:54:38Ruby told me that she is pregnant and it's mine
00:54:41What? How?
00:54:42Look, I don't believe her
00:54:43But I still do need to play this thing right
00:54:45And I hope that you can trust me on this
00:54:50Okay
00:54:52I trust you
00:54:56I love you
00:55:01I love you too
00:55:23I love you too
00:55:47I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:55:49I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:55:51Mm-hmm.
00:55:59I should go check a minute.
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:03Mom?
00:56:06Mom?
00:56:20Hello?
00:56:21Who is this?
00:56:22I'm your mother.
00:56:23She will stay safe if you follow my everywhere.
00:56:26I'll test instructions to this phone.
00:56:28If you alert the authorities, your mother will be killed.
00:56:32I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:56:37This is the address?
00:56:40Vanessa.
00:56:42Glad you made it.
00:56:43Looks like you brought your little boyfriend, hmm?
00:56:53Yes, good in boss.
00:56:55So is she.
00:56:57Let's go inside.
00:57:01Look at you two.
00:57:03Wow.
00:57:04The perfect couple.
00:57:05What do you want, Bruno?
00:57:07I'll do the questioning.
00:57:09That's what people with guns get to do.
00:57:12We could have been a great team, but you had to blow it off for some tram.
00:57:17Just tell me why.
00:57:19Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:57:20I always hated guys like you, Sebastian, bootstrap guys.
00:57:25That's why I'm going to love bleeding you dry for everything you worked for.
00:57:31I want your entire fortune.
00:57:34You son of a bitch.
00:57:36Calm down, Sebastian.
00:57:39If you don't want to end up under the sea.
00:57:46Fine.
00:57:49For Teresa.
00:57:51We just need to know that she's alive.
00:58:02Mom, if it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay.
00:58:06Boo, boo.
00:58:08There's your proof of life.
00:58:10Transfer the money to this address using this phone.
00:58:16Come on.
00:58:21I'm so sorry that this is happening.
00:58:23This is all my fault.
00:58:29It's going to wipe you out.
00:58:31It doesn't matter.
00:58:33As long as you and your mother are safe.
00:58:37I can always make my money back, but I need you by my side.
00:58:47Thanks for the money.
00:58:49But you didn't really think I'll let your mom go, did you?
00:58:58Oh, my God.
00:59:06Ruby, you killed him.
00:59:09Oh, oopsies.
00:59:10I'm such a klutz.
00:59:13Guess I won't be sharing that money after all.
00:59:17What, honey?
00:59:19You play chess.
00:59:20You know the pawns always die.
00:59:23Hands up!
00:59:27Why are you doing this?
00:59:28I gave you everything.
00:59:30Why?
00:59:31Because you left me.
00:59:33Nobody leaves me.
00:59:34I get everything I've always wanted.
00:59:38You know exactly why.
00:59:42When I met you, you were nothing.
00:59:45The only reason you married me was for my family name.
00:59:48For my clout.
00:59:49You used me to climb the social ladder.
00:59:53Then once you got to the top, you dropped me.
00:59:55And what you think this whore can replace me?
00:59:59You're wrong.
01:00:00I married you for what I thought was out of love.
01:00:03But then I quickly realized that all you ever cared about was material shit.
01:00:08And I tried to prove to you that we can't have it all.
01:00:10We could.
01:00:13Spare me, Mr. Perfect, please.
01:00:15I really can't.
01:00:24No, no.
01:00:29Oopsies.
01:00:30Sorry, my little mouse.
01:00:31It won't happen again.
01:00:33Ruby, you can fix all of this.
01:00:35All you need to do is let Teresa go.
01:00:39Fix this?
01:00:40Yes.
01:00:42This is beyond repair, my dear husband.
01:00:45Revenge, retribution, whatever you want to call it.
01:00:48I finally have the power.
01:00:52Fuck you, bitch!
01:00:56Most dads give their girls jewelry.
01:00:58But not my dad.
01:00:59I used to think guns were scary.
01:01:01But in the right hand, they're quite beautiful.
01:01:05We could have been great, Sebastian.
01:01:07But you had to go ahead and ruin it all.
01:01:09Shut the fuck up, Ruby!
01:01:14I'm going to kill you both.
01:01:15And when the police get here, they'll find me laying on the ground, covered in blood, screaming,
01:01:20Help me!
01:01:22Help me!
01:01:24And I'll blame it on that, mafia moron.
01:01:30Drop it!
01:01:57You're okay?
01:01:58Yeah, I'm okay, honey.
01:02:00I knew you'd come and get me.
01:02:02But next time, can we go to Paris, please?
01:02:08Miss Porter, I'm Detective Colombo.
01:02:11We've been monitoring the Lombardi crime family for several months now.
01:02:14And we have all the information we need to indict Ruby and Bruno on an extortion plot.
01:02:19But how?
01:02:21We had somebody on the inside.
01:02:26You're a cop?
01:02:29Yep.
01:02:30Department of Justice undercover.
01:02:31The merger made us look into a possible crime link with Armstrong Enterprises.
01:02:35Turns out Sebastian is legit.
01:02:37He just hired the wrong people.
01:02:38Luckily, Interpol connected me to the Talentees at just the right time.
01:02:42I would have never guessed.
01:02:44Guess those late-night wine sessions were just research, huh?
01:02:47Getting to be your friend was just one of the benefits.
01:02:50Oh, one more thing.
01:02:52Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure.
01:02:54We made sure the transfer didn't go through.
01:03:04And in business news, the Congress has approved the Bastion Enterprise merger.
01:03:09CEO Sebastian Armstrong is now the richest man in the world.
01:03:12This merger is an unprecedented green deal.
01:03:14They have agreed to convert 70% of their carbon-producing plans into renewable energy power plants.
01:03:22Cheers to Teresa being cancer-free for six months.
01:03:27Cheers.
01:03:31And cheers to Vanessa.
01:03:35For her hopefully making me the happiest man on earth.
01:03:39Oh, my God.
01:03:44Will you marry me?
01:03:50Yes.
01:03:51Yes.
01:03:58I promise to love you forever.
01:04:01I promise to love you forever.
01:04:03Ooh.
01:04:06I promise to love you forever.
01:04:12I promise to love you forever.
01:04:15I promise to love you forever.
01:04:16Amen.
