00:12:55so
00:12:56so
00:13:24Wow, that dress.
00:13:27This 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'll see you next time.
00:14:08I'll see you next time.
00:14:13I'll see you next time.
00:14:40I'll see you next time.
00:15:44We're too good for boxed wine.
00:15:46Oh, gosh.
00:15:48This has been such a whirlwind.
00:15:50I am falling so hard.
00:15:53Just be careful, honey.
00:15:56I know.
00:15:58I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:01I mean, that merger is heating up.
00:16:03All 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.
00:16:17How 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 are we 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 spying on me?
00:17:02Not me.
00:17:04But somebody is.
00:17:06Those 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.
00:18:19What do we have here?
00:18:21Oh, excuse 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 on me.
00:18:44Teenies?
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 this wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:18:59Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:03Yeah.
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, out the door.
00:20:08Hey there.
00:20:10Hey, 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.
00:20:18It'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.
00:20:37Look, 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.
00:20:48But 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.
00:21:05This is simple.
00:21:08You'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?
00:21:30You're unfit for what?
00:21:32The merger is just money, and I have money, but I don't have love.
00:21:39And I 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, and 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, Sebastian, 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 DOA.
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, come 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.
00:23:40Uh, yeah.
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.
00:24:09Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:17Playing hard again?
00:24:18I like that.
00:24:20Bruno Leike.
00:24:24You big stud.
00:24:25You got this.
00:24:26She's yours.
00:24:26Two can play this game.
00:24:30I'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.
00:24:44He was just being...
00:24:46I don't care about him.
00:24:49I just...
00:24:50I don't know.
00:24:51I 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 going to 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, and 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...
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.
00:25:51I'm kidding.
00:25:57You'll regret this.
00:26:03Tell me everything.
00:26:06It was terrible what I did, but this merger was so important to Sebastian.
00:26:11I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:13You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:14I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:17Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:19What did you do?
00:26:22I almost kissed Bruno.
00:26:25The aggressive guy?
00:26:27He only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:26:31I hope you know what you're doing.
00:26:37I wish we had met in college.
00:26:40Things would be so different.
00:26:47Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:26:49Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:26:54What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:03What is wrong with you?
00:27:04I mean, you have everything.
00:27:06And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:10You can 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?
00:27:35Ruby.
00:27:36What are you doing here?
00:27:37Come in.
00:27:38I'm sorry.
00:27:39I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:27:41What are you doing here?
00:27:42Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:27:45And 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.
00:28:19We were so good together.
00:28:24We were so good together.
00:28:34Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:28:42No, no, no.
00:28:43Hey, I'm sorry.
00:28:45I can't do this.
00:28:47Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:28:52Yeah, just 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?
00:29:22Hey, hey, get off of me!
00:29:26Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey?
00:29:28What is that?
00:29:32You must have dropped it.
00:29:36My God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:29:47Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:29:48We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:29:50In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:29:53Good night.
00:30:00Yeah, of course.
00:30:03How did you know where I lived?
00:30:06I 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.
00:30:17It'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 from me, and that's why I have to be protective.
00:30:29I'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 just a gold digger.
00:30:46And she never loved me.
00:30:47She 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.
00:30:58I 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 we'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 boss and 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.
00:32:04Well, you need to go down to La Tour Boutique and 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?
00:32:31That's my one condition.
00:32:33You really are a good negotiator.
00:32:40You should probably go.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:53Can I help you?
00:32:54Yes, yes, I am looking for a dress.
00:32:58Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:00Oh, probably.
00:33:02Sorry, we don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:06Oh, I know, I know.
00:33:07I don't usually shop at places like this, but I actually walk by here all the time and stare at
00:33:13that dress in the window.
00:33:14Not to cut you off.
00:33:16I'm pretty busy here, and we only serve to high-end clients.
00:33:22Okay.
00:33:25Maybe I'm in the wrong store.
00:33:26Maybe you are.
00:33:28I should probably go.
00:33:30You should.
00:33:33Now, 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.
00:33:58I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing.
00:34:00I love them.
00:34:01Also, that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:04But 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.
00:34:10Just wrap up the dress.
00:34:11We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:34:32Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:34:34I don't want to let you down.
00:34:37You won't.
00:34:37Just stick with me.
00:34:38I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:34:45Oh, 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, but Sebastian is about to give you a speech.
00:34:58I'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.
00:35:15I'm so sorry.
00:35:16I'm such a klutz.
00:35:22And now, ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong.
00:35:31I think it's about time we got legal involved to 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, so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:35:45Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:35:53Thank 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.
00:36:03Nothing 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, Sebby.
00:36:12It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:36:13Oh, so formal.
00:36:16This company needed a little joke like me.
00:36:19Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:36:21Yeah, I know.
00:36:23Because I already got the prize.
00:36:25So, you are dating.
00:36:28I 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.
00:36:37Respect the workplace.
00:36:39And you chill.
00:36:41You need that money like us.
00:36:43Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:36:49Stop.
00:36:50Stop.
00:36:52You're done.
00:36:53Get out of here.
00:36:54Pack your shit up.
00:36:55We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:36:57Okay, big boss man.
00:36:59I'll leave.
00:37:00But you're going to 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, guys 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.
00:37:41What?
00:37:41Are you okay?
00:37:48Stop.
00:37:49There.
00:37:55I can't see their faces.
00:37:57They're wearing masks.
00:37:58The 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.
00:38:09I'm scared.
00:38:14I'll protect you.
00:38:20Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:38:22Hi, Doc.
00:38:23How's my mom doing?
00:38:25Hi, Vanessa.
00:38:26Your 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.
00:38:40The only sad thing is, Miss 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?
00:39:03You 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 going to 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 a bad word.
00:39:18A magic marker.
00:39:20Well, 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.
00:39:26This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi.
00:39:28He has been all over me and it's starting to weird me out.
00:39:32You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:39:34John Lombardi's son?
00:39:38John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:42And Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne.
00:39:47A crime family?
00:39:49Yeah.
00:39:50Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago.
00:39:53They're thugs.
00:39:54And 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.
00:40:00What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:02Kids today.
00:40:03They always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:40:05They can't take responsibility.
00:40:07But not my baby girl.
00:40:12The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering, human trafficking?
00:40:17Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:40:22And he's grooming Bruno to take over.
00:40:24They've got some troubles going on.
00:40:26So, 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 whore-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?
00:41:02Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:41:05I found out that Bruno has ties to the mafia.
00:41:09No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:11I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
00:41:13Word is he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:41:17Then why would he want a job here?
00:41:18I don't know.
00:41:19He 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.
00:41:33No.
00:41:35And we need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:41:38And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:41:43Charity?
00:41:44Yes, for cancer research.
00:41:45Oh.
00:41:46I would love to.
00:41:48Hmm?
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, 6 p.m. tonight.
00:42:00One condition.
00:42:02Okay.
00:42:02Huh?
00:42:03What?
00:42:06You take the car back.
00:42:10Fine.
00:42:12See you tonight.
00:42:17Damn.
00:42:19He is a good negotiator.
00:42:32You must be the new model.
00:42:35You're on stage in five.
00:42:36On stage?
00:42:38What 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?
00:42:45I think this is going to be fun.
00:42:47And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:42:49You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:42:51Yeah.
00:42:54Going what's?
00:42:55Going twice.
00:42:56And 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.
00:43:06Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:43:09Oh.
00:43:12What you lucky here.
00:43:14I guess they let anyone into these charity events, don't they?
00:43:18Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter.
00:43:24I just sold for $500,000.
00:43:26Set a new charity record.
00:43:28That crowd is going to eat you up.
00:43:30And remember, ladies and gents, your 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.
00:43:47No funny business.
00:43:48Okay, I'm talking to you, Mr. Rolstein.
00:43:50The bidding will start at $300,000.
00:43:55$500,000.
00:43:57$500,000.
00:43:58$600,000.
00:44:00Great, we have $600,000 over there.
00:44:03$700,000.
00:44:05We got seven over here.
00:44:07$800,000.
00:44:09$800,000.
00:44:11$1 million.
00:44:16$1 million, sir.
00:44:19Wow, what an amazing finale.
00:44:22Any other bids?
00:44:23Going once?
00:44:25Going twice?
00:44:28And sold to that gentleman over there for $1 million.
00:44:32What an amazing finale.
00:44:34Beating the previous record of...
00:44:37What's her name?
00:44:39Anyway, 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.
00:44:51It could be dangerous.
00:44:52I don't have a choice.
00:44:54You always have a choice.
00:44:56It's in the next room.
00:44:57It's in a controlled space.
00:44:59Why 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.
00:45:07It's just dinner in public.
00:45:08It'll be fine.
00:45:11Okay.
00:45:11I 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,
00:45:25you'd think they'd serve at a hooch.
00:45:28I'd rather be home,
00:45:30drinking 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 paid a lot of money for this date.
00:45:58I'm in a casino.
00:45:59I can make things very difficult for you
00:46:00and your little boyfriend.
00:46:07You know?
00:46:09This wine ain't that bad.
00:46:16Where are you going?
00:46:17The 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.
00:46:44I'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,
00:47:27but I think I'm entitled to more like 65%.
00:47:32Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine.
00:47:34Fine?
00:47:35Sebastian, that's robbery.
00:47:36Your head isn't in the game.
00:47:38We need to wrap this up
00:47:40so we can send it before Congress
00:47:42and push this merger through soon.
00:47:44A good negotiation
00:47:45is where both parties walk away equally unhappy.
00:47:49And right now, Sebastian,
00:47:52I'm very happy.
00:47:58That's it, Sebastian.
00:47:59I'm done.
00:48:01It's over.
00:48:03Wait, what do you mean that it's over?
00:48:05We need a break.
00:48:07Listen, 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.
00:48:18We can come back on Tuesday
00:48:19and 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.
00:48:30Everyone can have all for the week with pay.
00:48:32Okay.
00:48:42So, do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:48:43How would I?
00:48:44I just found out I have the week off.
00:48:46Hmm, well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:48:48Sebastian, I...
00:48:50I can't.
00:48:51But thank you.
00:48:53My mom's still in the hospital,
00:48:54so 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?
00:49:07She's fine.
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?
00:49:31I'm three months pregnant.
00:49:33No, no, no.
00:49:34I can't be the father.
00:49:35Okay.
00:49:36Well, I have a paternity test,
00:49:37an ultrasound that's a different.
00:49:41Right there.
00:49:57Well, if this is true,
00:49:58then I'm not the type of man
00:49:59that 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 going to tell Vanessa,
00:50:24but I have to be honest with her.
00:50:26I think we got them.
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
00:50:36when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:50:37Okay, well, I'm still out too grand
00:50:39for a fake paternity test.
00:50:41I really thought Sebastian hitting me
00:50:43would ruin this merger.
00:50:45Okay, I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:50:47I just want the divorce to happen after
00:50:48so that I get half.
00:50:50And if that doesn't work,
00:50:51we'll move on to plan C
00:50:53and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:50:56I know exactly where he hangs out
00:50:57when he needs time alone.
00:50:59He'll pay for humiliating a Lombardi.
00:51:35That is beautiful and delicious.
00:51:39Who's it from?
00:51:40I hope it's not from Bruno.
00:51:43Oh, my God.
00:51:47If you change your mind, I'm here for you.
00:51:50With all my love, Sebastian.
00:51:53Sebastian.
00:51:56Sebastian.
00:51:56Sebastian.
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?
00:52:20I'm feeling like I need to see
00:52:23the Italian countryside
00:52:24and eat some authentic Italian.
00:52:27Looks like we're coming to Italy.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:43Welcome.
00:52:44Hey.
00:52:48Nice to finally meet you.
00:52:50Oh, lovely to meet you, too.
00:52:51Yeah, come on in.
00:52:52Yeah.
00:52:54So, Miss Porter,
00:52:56how are you doing?
00:52:58Wonderful.
00:52:59Just wonderful.
00:53:00Thank you so much
00:53:01for bringing my daughter
00:53:02and 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.
00:53:11What's mine is yours,
00:53:12so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:53:14Oh, my God.
00:53:20Mom, where are you going?
00:53:21Are you feeling okay?
00:53:22I'm fine.
00:53:23Absolutely awesome.
00:53:24I have never felt better.
00:53:27Yeah.
00:53:28So, I'm just off now
00:53:29to 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.
00:53:41Well, cheers to that.
00:53:44Cheers to that.
00:53:49I need to come clean.
00:53:52Bruno and I...
00:53:53Look, I don't care, but...
00:53:54No, listen.
00:53:55We were never a thing.
00:53:56You and Bruno never had an affair?
00:53:58No, I faked the whole thing.
00:54:00Why?
00:54:02Mike didn't know
00:54:03I 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
00:54:15something 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
00:54:36about something.
00:54:38Ruby told me that she is pregnant
00:54:40and it's mine.
00:54:41What?
00:54:42How?
00:54:42Look, I don't believe her,
00:54:43but I still do need to play this thing right.
00:54:46And I hope that you can trust me on this.
00:54:50Okay.
00:54:52I trust you.
00:54:56I love you.
00:55:02I 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 on me.
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 lurk down to our knees,
00:56:29your mother would 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 here
00:56:44a little boyfriend, hmm?
00:56:53Yes, I'm coming for you, boss.
00:56:55Yes, I'm coming for you, boss.
00:56:56So is she.
00:56:58Let's go inside.
00:57:02Look at you two.
00:57:03Wow.
00:57:04The perfect couple.
00:57:06What 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,
00:57:14but you had to blow it off for some trim.
00:57:17Just tell me why that...
00:57:19Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:57:20I always hated guys like you, Sebastian.
00:57:23Bootstrap guys.
00:57:25That's why I'm going to love
00:57:26bleeding you dry
00:57:27for everything you worked for.
00:57:31I want your entire fortune.
00:57:34You son of a bitch.
00:57:36Calm down, Sebastian.
00:57:39You don't want to end up under the sea.
00:57:46Fine.
00:57:49For Teresa.
00:57:51We just need to know
00:57:52that she's alive.
00:57:59Mom!
00:58:00It's okay.
00:58:02Mom, it's okay.
00:58:04It's okay.
00:58:06Boo, boo.
00:58:08There's your proof of life.
00:58:10Transfer the money to this address
00:58:12using 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,
00:58:39but I need you on my side.
00:58:47Thanks for the money.
00:58:50But you didn't really think
00:58:51I'll let your mom go, did you?
00:59:03Oh, my God.
00:59:06Ruby, you killed him.
00:59:09Oh, oopsies.
00:59:11I'm such a klutz.
00:59:13Guess I won't be sharing that money after all.
00:59:18What, 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?
00:59:29I gave you everything.
00:59:30Why?
00:59:31Because you left me.
00:59:33Nobody leaves me.
00:59:35I get everything I've always wanted.
00:59:38You know exactly why.
00:59:42When I met you,
00:59:44you were nothing.
00:59:46The only reason you married me
00:59:47was for my family name,
00:59:48for my clout.
00:59:50You used me
00:59:51to climb the social ladder.
00:59:53Then once you got to the top,
00:59:54you dropped me.
00:59:55And what you think this whore
00:59:57can replace me?
00:59:59You're wrong.
01:00:00I married you
01:00:01for what I thought
01:00:02was out of love.
01:00:03But then I quickly realized
01:00:05that all you ever cared about
01:00:07was material shit.
01:00:08And I tried to prove to you
01:00:09that we can't have it all.
01:00:11We could.
01:00:13Spare me,
01:00:14Mr. Perfect, please.
01:00:15I really can't.
01:00:19No, no.
01:00:29Oopsies.
01:00:30Sorry, my little mouse.
01:00:31It won't happen again.
01:00:33Ruby, you can fix
01:00:34all of this.
01:00:35All you need to do
01:00:35is let Teresa go.
01:00:39Fix this?
01:00:40Yes.
01:00:42This is beyond repair,
01:00:44my dear husband.
01:00:45Revenge, retribution,
01:00:47whatever 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,
01:01:03they're quite beautiful.
01:01:05We could have been great, Sebastian,
01:01:07but you had to go ahead
01:01:08and ruin it all.
01:01:10Shut the fuck up, Ruby!
01:01:14I'm gonna kill you both.
01:01:15And when the police get here,
01:01:17they'll find me laying on the ground
01:01:19covered in blood,
01:01:20screaming,
01:01:20help me!
01:01:22Help me!
01:01:24And I'll blame it on that,
01:01:25mafia moron.
01:01:30Drop it!
01:01:57you're okay?
01:01:58Yeah, I'm okay, honey. I knew you'd come and get me. But next time, can we go to Paris, please?
01:02:08Miss Porter, I'm Detective Colombo. We'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.
01:02:20But how?
01:02:21We had somebody on the inside.
01:02:26You're a cop?
01:02:28Yep. Department of Justice undercover. The merger made us look into a possible crime link with Armstrong Enterprises.
01:02:35Turns out Sebastian is legit. He just hired the wrong people.
01:02:38Luckily, Interpol connected me to the talent piece 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, uh, one more thing. Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure. We made sure the transfer didn't go through.
01:03:04And in business news, the Congress has approved the Bastion Enterprise merger.
01:03:08CEO Sebastian Armstrong is now the richest man in the world. This 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.
01:03:26Cheers.
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.
01:03:58I promise to love you forever.
01:04:02I promise to love you forever.
01:04:03I promise to love you forever.
01:04:06I promise to love you forever.
01:04:08I promise to love you forever.
01:04:10I promise to love you forever.
01:04:10I promise you forever.
01:04:10I promise you forever.
01:04:11I promise you forever.
01:04:11I promise you forever.
01:04:11I promise you forever.
01:04:11I promise you forever.
01:04:11I promise you forever.
01:04:12I promise you forever.
01:04:13I promise you forever.
01:04:14I promise you forever.
01:04:14I promise you forever.
