00:00:08Hey, this is Richard Allenton. I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:14Hey, Grandpa.
00:00:18It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody two-shoe women.
00:00:24But to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind date, that's low.
00:00:33Let's hope this one's different.
00:00:36I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:39I don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:00:41Be sexy.
00:00:43Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:00:47And being sexy is easy.
00:00:49Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:00:52It works every time.
00:00:54Wait, what girls?
00:00:55And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:00:58So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.
00:01:03I don't think I can do this.
00:01:05The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.
00:01:10It's your call.
00:01:12So let's go.
00:01:42Are you going to stare at me all night?
00:01:43Or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy.
00:01:45Of course.
00:01:53Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:01:59You're so...
00:02:01Rich?
00:02:02Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes.
00:02:06Sorry, what was her name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:12And you are?
00:02:13Blaine Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:18And this is a successful company?
00:02:21It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:24Waiter?
00:02:25Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:27You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:30Yes, of course.
00:02:31If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:34Uh, it's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:37You want two?
00:02:40Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:02:42Better bring three.
00:02:44Yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:02:50And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:54I invest.
00:02:56In what?
00:02:57In everything.
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:04Businesses?
00:03:06Charities?
00:03:07I see.
00:03:09And you live in the city?
00:03:11The city.
00:03:14The hills.
00:03:15My yacht.
00:03:18My private island.
00:03:21I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You're so impressive.
00:03:26So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:29It doesn't surprise me.
00:03:31I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:37Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:51Kurt?
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:52What's my manager doing here?
00:03:56Blaine!
00:03:59My business dinner just ended.
00:04:01The presentation for the China branch.
00:04:02Looking good.
00:04:03Amazing.
00:04:04You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:05Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:06Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:09Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:11Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:12Ah, classic.
00:04:14All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:22I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:26You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:29Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:32I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:35Absolutely, darling.
00:04:42Whoa.
00:04:45Welcome to my home.
00:04:47After you.
00:05:02Oh, my.
00:05:15You like what you see?
00:05:17You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:22Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:28Uh, not so fast.
00:05:31Okay.
00:05:32A little foreplay?
00:05:34I did not think this through at all.
00:05:36How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:43Looking for something?
00:05:46Oh, um...
00:05:49Ah.
00:05:51I should have known that was your style.
00:05:54Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:57Ugh.
00:05:57I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:05:59I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:06:01It's usually the other way around.
00:06:08Valentina?
00:06:10Patience, darling.
00:06:11I'm building the suspense.
00:06:14Ah, I see.
00:06:16Where could it be?
00:06:17Right.
00:06:18And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:21Oh, yes.
00:06:22It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:29How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:36That's...
00:06:36That's new.
00:06:40The painting!
00:06:41Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:43Oh, uh...
00:06:45Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:47It looks exactly like...
00:06:49The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:53It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:56People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:06:59Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:01Oh, no.
00:07:02It's quite popular.
00:07:04Where do you hide your luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:09In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:13Oh, come on.
00:07:17Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:20Oh, uh...
00:07:22Most unfortunate.
00:07:23I'm...
00:07:23I'm getting the utmost important business call and I must take it.
00:07:28Right now?
00:07:29What?
00:07:30What about me?
00:07:32Valentina!
00:07:35Wait!
00:07:37Untie me!
00:07:42Ew.
00:07:44Really, Blaine?
00:07:46What?
00:07:47But you and your models.
00:07:50Last night was not a model.
00:07:52I was actually impressed.
00:07:55Did I hear it right?
00:07:57Blaine actually had a date he liked?
00:08:00It was fantastic!
00:08:02The other girls are so boring.
00:08:04But this one...
00:08:06She's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:08I must see her again.
00:08:10Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:14It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:21Grandfather.
00:08:22Hmm?
00:08:23Listen to him.
00:08:24He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:26I am much more qualified.
00:08:27Oh, yeah.
00:08:29I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:32No, no, no, no.
00:08:34Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:37Right?
00:08:38Yeah, you weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:41No, but Blaine.
00:08:43Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:45Whatever.
00:08:47Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:50I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:53Oh.
00:08:55Yeah, yeah.
00:08:57Thanks.
00:09:03Hello?
00:09:04How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:09To perfection.
00:09:11She already has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:14It won't be long until he slips up,
00:09:16and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:21Brilliant.
00:09:21It's all coming together perfectly.
00:09:24And the VR tech you're developing,
00:09:26it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:29Oh, yes.
00:09:30It'll be ready.
00:09:31Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:41I can't stop thinking about this girl from last night.
00:09:45I think she's...
00:09:46What's he doing here?
00:09:47Speaking of girls,
00:09:49I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:50I don't know who's going to be perfect.
00:09:52I don't know who's going to be perfect.
00:09:53I don't know who's going to be perfect.
00:09:54I'm fine.
00:09:56Ariel.
00:09:58How does he know my name?
00:09:59You dropped your badge.
00:10:07There you go.
00:10:09Thanks.
00:10:17She's amazing.
00:10:20Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:10:22Is that where you're late?
00:10:23Can I hide next?
00:10:24No, I was dropping your mom off at the hospital.
00:10:27Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:29Wait, oh my God, is she okay?
00:10:30Should I bring her fruit basket?
00:10:32She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:34Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:36Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:38Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:40Are you going to apply?
00:10:41I'm good where I am.
00:10:42But all the girls are applying.
00:10:44Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:46You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:48I think this position is yours.
00:10:59He's gorgeous.
00:11:01I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:05Attention, everyone.
00:11:07My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:11I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:14but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:18And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:21I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:24Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:26Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:34All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:43You look exactly like...
00:11:47Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:52Kurt described.
00:11:54Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:11:59There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:02This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:06When do I start?
00:12:07Perfect.
00:12:09First thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:12:12Oh, um, gotta take a phone call.
00:12:14Send it to me in an email.
00:12:19Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:21Really?
00:12:23Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:25Just click the link to connect it,
00:12:27so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:30Great.
00:12:36Hmm.
00:12:37New number, huh?
00:12:41Hello?
00:12:43Hello, Ariel.
00:12:44This is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:45We just got your mother's results.
00:12:51It's not what we hoped.
00:12:53So we need to move quickly
00:12:54if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:12:57Okay, I understand.
00:13:00I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:10Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:12I just finished dinner.
00:13:14Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:15Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:17Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:19You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:20Mom, please.
00:13:22Honey, sit down.
00:13:23Come on.
00:13:33The doctor called?
00:13:35He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:36Oh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:13:38Hush.
00:13:38None of that talk, okay?
00:13:40Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:45Okay.
00:13:51I'll be right back.
00:13:59It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:02Are you ready?
00:14:04Yeah.
00:14:07Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:10I'll make it to go.
00:14:27Oh, where am I?
00:14:32Valentina!
00:14:33Blaine!
00:14:35Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:38Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:40No, not at all.
00:14:41This place is special.
00:14:43Follow me.
00:14:56How many more are I?
00:14:58We're almost there.
00:14:59Come on.
00:15:00We're almost there.
00:15:15Wow.
00:15:16Look at you.
00:15:25Did you look at that view?
00:15:28I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:30Just you, actually.
00:15:33I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:37Your father died?
00:15:38Yeah.
00:15:40And I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:42and I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:46so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:49except when I come here.
00:15:53I'm so sorry.
00:16:00My mom is sick.
00:16:05She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:11So I know it feels to...
00:16:13want to get away.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:17I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:20but this is one thing
00:16:22that money can't buy.
00:16:25I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:27Thanks.
00:16:30She's all I've got.
00:16:33I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:44Hey, who's out here?
00:16:49What's happening?
00:16:51Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:53What?
00:16:54Run.
00:17:02Hey!
00:17:05Still!
00:17:11What was that?
00:17:13That was fun.
00:17:14Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:17No.
00:17:18I suppose not.
00:17:21I haven't felt this way
00:17:23in a really long time.
00:17:26I feel like
00:17:27I can be myself around you.
00:17:30You feel the same way?
00:17:32Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:17:34That's right.
00:17:35I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:17:37I can't do this to him.
00:17:41But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:46I'd love to.
00:17:51Well, well, well.
00:17:54Martina, what are you doing here?
00:17:57I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:01Had to see it for myself.
00:18:03Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:18:06and it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right.
00:18:09Is that so?
00:18:11Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:13That's right.
00:18:14Wow.
00:18:15What's she like?
00:18:16She's funny,
00:18:18mysterious,
00:18:19confident,
00:18:20hardworking,
00:18:22charitable.
00:18:23She's the whole package.
00:18:24Hmm.
00:18:25Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.
00:18:28I'd love to meet her.
00:18:31Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington.
00:18:33Is this about time?
00:18:34No, not at all.
00:18:35My sister just came to visit.
00:18:37Martina,
00:18:37this is my new assistant,
00:18:39Ariel.
00:18:40Martina,
00:18:41nice to meet you.
00:18:42Likewise.
00:18:43Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:47Don't you worry.
00:18:48I got this.
00:18:49Well,
00:18:50after you lost the keys to the Maserati,
00:18:51I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:18:54I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati,
00:18:56and don't you worry,
00:18:58I've got the codes right here on this drive,
00:19:01and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:16Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:17I have wasted enough time.
00:19:21Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:24Get it.
00:19:33All right,
00:19:34where's that drive?
00:19:41Are you kidding?
00:19:42There's nothing in here.
00:19:56They're coming in.
00:19:57Crap.
00:19:59How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:02You don't twist my arm.
00:20:04You don't twist my arm.
00:20:07No,
00:20:07no,
00:20:07no.
00:20:14Oh,
00:20:15yeah.
00:20:19Sarah,
00:20:20cheers.
00:20:21Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:26Right.
00:20:26Right.
00:20:27Right.
00:20:27After that.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:37That was close.
00:20:44Hey,
00:20:44girlfriend.
00:20:45Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:47Sure.
00:20:48What's going on?
00:20:49So,
00:20:49I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:52Aren't we all?
00:20:53So,
00:20:54she has a crush on her boss,
00:20:55and
00:20:56she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:20:59How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:02Wait,
00:21:02I don't like Blaine.
00:21:03But he deserves to know though, right?
00:21:05You're gonna tell him?
00:21:06I mean,
00:21:07I don't know,
00:21:07because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me,
00:21:10and then it's so totally awkward,
00:21:12and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:15Wait,
00:21:15do you like Kurt?
00:21:17I gotta go.
00:21:18What?
00:21:19Ring,
00:21:20ring.

00:21:56I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:12Oh,
00:22:12my God,
00:22:13I'm gonna be wearing that.
00:22:14Sorry?
00:22:16Uh,
00:22:17your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:22:19Yeah,
00:22:20it's pretty nice,
00:22:21right?
00:22:22Well,
00:22:22I mean,
00:22:23it's option one.
00:22:24You think she'll like it?
00:22:26Um,
00:22:28well,
00:22:29what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:30What are her
00:22:31tastes?
00:22:33Um,
00:22:35sophisticated,
00:22:36generous,
00:22:37gorgeous.
00:22:38the whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:44I see.
00:22:47So,
00:22:47keep that in mind.
00:22:49Option two.
00:22:54And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:58This is big in Europe.
00:23:00Between you and me,
00:23:01I'm written for this guy.
00:23:02Mm-hmm.
00:23:03I see.
00:23:04Do you have anything more
00:23:07modest?
00:23:09Hmm.
00:23:10Modest?
00:23:10Yeah,
00:23:11that
00:23:12seems to be the style
00:23:14I've been seeing these days.
00:23:16With the rich folk,
00:23:17at least.
00:23:19You know,
00:23:19now that you say it,
00:23:20I think I do have something.
00:23:27Aha.
00:23:31What do you think?
00:23:33I think she'd really like that.
00:23:41Can I have a margarita?
00:23:44You can't be serious,
00:23:46darling.
00:23:47Shall I have a friend 75 with Konya?
00:23:50Flora,
00:23:50what are you doing here?
00:23:52Making sure you look the part.
00:23:54You want to make the money for your dear mother,
00:23:56don't you?
00:23:57Yes,
00:23:58more than anything.
00:23:59Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:02We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:05Once I do,
00:24:06I can fund your mother's surgery,
00:24:07but until then,
00:24:08we're in this together.
00:24:10Yes?
00:24:12Yeah.
00:24:14Excellent.
00:24:15Now,
00:24:16what's your game plan?
00:24:17Make him even more vulnerable
00:24:19and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:22And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:25Um,
00:24:28be nice?
00:24:32Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:24:35No.
00:24:37A man like Blaine Ellington
00:24:39is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:24:43Drinking with him
00:24:45and going to bed with him.
00:24:47Right.
00:24:49I,
00:24:50I can,
00:24:51I can do that.
00:24:51I hope so,
00:24:52because he's coming this way.
00:24:56get the code soon,
00:24:58honey,
00:24:59for your mother.
00:25:01Okay.
00:25:03Oh,
00:25:05and darling,
00:25:07have fun.
00:25:09All right.
00:25:12Valentina,
00:25:15how are you?
00:25:17wonderful love.
00:25:18Wonderful love.
00:25:18I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:20Is that so?
00:25:22Indeed.
00:25:23I was so distracted.
00:25:25It affected my croquet score.
00:25:28Oh, no.
00:25:29Distracted over little old me.
00:25:30Yes.
00:25:31I simply must know everything about you.
00:25:34Well,
00:25:35what would you like to know?
00:25:37Everything.
00:25:39Well,
00:25:39I don't know about everything.
00:25:41It might take some time for me to open up.
00:25:44Well,
00:25:44maybe after a few drinks.
00:25:47Only if you can keep up.
00:25:49See,
00:25:50I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:53Oh, no.
00:25:55Well,
00:25:56here goes nothing.
00:25:56I don't know what I'm saying.
00:26:00Oh,
00:26:01man.
00:26:03man.
00:26:03Oh,
00:26:04oh,
00:26:05that's really good.
00:26:07That's not an act.
00:26:10That's funny.
00:26:11That's not.
00:26:12You know,
00:26:17my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is because I forget stuff.
00:26:24And
00:26:26Are you forgetful?
00:26:29I mean,
00:26:30yeah.
00:26:31Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:35What?
00:26:36Really?
00:26:36Yeah.
00:26:38It cost me $10,000 just to get them re-keyed.
00:26:42Which is why
00:26:43I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:48So maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:26:53Well,
00:26:55if you'd like,
00:26:56go ahead.
00:26:57I'll tell you.
00:26:58But first,
00:27:04I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:10This is it.
00:27:11All I need to do is ask him where the code is and my mission is over.
00:27:15Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:17Ariel?
00:27:19Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:27:23I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:27:25I don't know this Ariel.
00:27:28No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:30You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:33But what are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:36You're poor.
00:27:38Fine.
00:27:39Please just leave, Max.
00:27:41It's Maximilian now.
00:27:43Because I'm Max and I make millions.
00:27:46Whatever.
00:27:47Please.
00:27:48I'm begging you.
00:27:49Look at you.
00:27:50You look so much better.
00:27:52You look...
00:27:54Oh, what's that word?
00:27:56Rich?
00:27:57Please.
00:27:58I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately,
00:28:00but I've become very rich.
00:28:03Yes.
00:28:04You've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:28:06I had to block your number.
00:28:07Oh.
00:28:08Yeah, that's right.
00:28:09Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:28:11I just...
00:28:13How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:16You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:21This isn't happening.
00:28:23Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:30Listen, I don't bear...
00:28:33Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:35Yes, he does.
00:28:36A situationship at best.
00:28:39Let go, Max.
00:28:40Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:43Get off of it.
00:28:46Blaine Ellington?
00:28:48Max Fletcher.
00:28:49Maximilian?
00:28:50What are you doing with that peasant?
00:28:53That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:28:54Blaine Ellington, getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:12This isn't over.
00:29:16Come on, Regina.
00:29:21Just stay away from my man, skink.
00:29:25He's actively trying to.
00:29:29Are you okay?
00:29:31Yeah, I think so.
00:29:33We gotta get out of here.
00:29:34This isn't good.
00:29:43Care to explain this?
00:29:45I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:49Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:29:55What are you, a child?
00:29:56I'm not a child, but he started it.
00:29:59Well, I don't care who started it.
00:30:01Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:06I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:10No, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:30:13The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:16You know, maybe, maybe, maybe your sister was right.
00:30:20Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:24Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:29What would your father think?
00:30:48Unleady lies the head that wears a crown.
00:30:51What is that?
00:30:52Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:30:54It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:30:56Ah.
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:59You don't want any of this.
00:31:00You don't know what I want.
00:31:03Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:05Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:08She's not a bimbo.
00:31:11Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:14Treat her like dad treated mom.
00:31:20How do you mean?
00:31:22Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:25Let her know everything about you.
00:31:28I'm trying to.
00:31:29Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:32Okay, share more.
00:31:34Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:37I will.
00:31:39I'm gonna get close to this woman.
00:31:41You'll see.
00:31:42Hmm.
00:31:43And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:48Shakespeare.
00:31:51Yeah?
00:31:52Ow.
00:32:03Martina, how are you?
00:32:05How am I?
00:32:07Yeah, how are you?
00:32:09I am annoyed.
00:32:10Time is running out, understand?
00:32:12Mm-hmm.
00:32:13We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:32:15But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:19Wait.
00:32:21Oh my God, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:23What?
00:32:24No.
00:32:25I hope not.
00:32:26Because you have four days to get that code?
00:32:29Or you can say bye to mommy.
00:32:32Other than that...
00:32:33I am fine.
00:32:35Thanks for asking.
00:32:47Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:49It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:32:51Oh, right.
00:32:53Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:32:54Better.
00:32:56And worse.
00:32:57That sounds super complicated.
00:33:00You have no idea.
00:33:02Ariel?
00:33:03Can you come in here?
00:33:04I'll be right there.
00:33:05Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:08Heh.
00:33:09Good thing.
00:33:15Oh, you have the file for the new China branch?
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:27Long night.
00:33:30You know what?
00:33:32Let's forget about the file.
00:33:44Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:33:56That's an order.
00:33:58Okay.
00:34:06This is nice.
00:34:08Yeah.
00:34:10This should be like an everyday thing.
00:34:15Mm-hmm.
00:34:16Mm-hmm.
00:34:18Good morning.
00:34:20Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:21Let's get it.
00:34:22Woo!
00:34:23Oh, Hannah.
00:34:29Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:33Um.
00:34:34Well, everything should be there.
00:34:38I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:42Oh?
00:34:42Why?
00:34:43Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:48Oh, my.
00:34:50That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:34:51Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:34:54I can imagine.
00:34:56Yeah, I just, I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:03You should just talk to her.
00:35:05You should just talk to her and be honest.
00:35:06Yeah.
00:35:07I'm gonna call her.
00:35:09What?
00:35:12Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:15Uh, you want me in the room?
00:35:17Yeah.
00:35:18Yeah, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:22Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:26Uh, I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:29Oh, gosh, she makes me so nervous.
00:35:31I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:34Shit, shit, shit.
00:35:35Uh-oh.
00:35:37Uh-oh.
00:35:39Think, Ariel, think.
00:35:41Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:43Uh, bathroom?
00:35:51Hello, darling.
00:35:52Hey, Valentina.
00:35:55How are you?
00:35:57Thriving, my dear.
00:35:58How are you feeling?
00:36:00A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:03You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:06I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:14Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.
00:36:17Uh, I was worried.
00:36:21No need, darling.
00:36:23I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:26Uh, I wanted to know if, uh, I get to see you again.
00:36:31You will.
00:36:32Very soon.
00:36:39Uh, sorry.
00:36:42Can I help you?
00:36:43I couldn't hear you.
00:36:45It kind of sounded like...
00:36:46Uh, sorry.
00:36:48Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:36:52Must be going.
00:36:54Okay, uh, sure.
00:36:55See you.
00:36:56Ta-ta!
00:37:03Community theater.
00:37:05Hmm.
00:37:06Character.
00:37:07I'm rehearsing.
00:37:10We're a mystery.
00:37:13I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:16I'm not in the theater.
00:37:19That's fair.
00:37:22That's fair.
00:37:35Mom, I'm home.
00:37:36Hi, honey.
00:37:37How was your day?
00:37:41It was not boring.
00:37:44How was yours?
00:37:46It was wonderful.
00:37:48I did laundry, watched some soaps.
00:37:52Um, what are you cooking?
00:37:54I told you I was going to cook tonight.
00:37:56Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have
00:38:00some, too.
00:38:01My co-worker?
00:38:04Hello, darling.
00:38:11Flora.
00:38:13What are you doing here?
00:38:15I was going to call you about a few work questions, but I was, uh, in the neighborhood and thought
00:38:22I'd drop in.
00:38:24Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.
00:38:26You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:29I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:33Well, you two don't mind me.
00:38:34Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:36Then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:48What are you doing here?
00:38:50Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:38:53I, um, I got close to finding out where he hit the drive, but I...
00:38:58But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:01I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:04Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:08You're not getting attached.
00:39:10What?
00:39:11No.
00:39:11Of course not.
00:39:13Good.
00:39:13I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:19Dinner's ready.
00:39:21Deeply sorry, darling.
00:39:23Urgent business.
00:39:24Must be taking off.
00:39:25Oh, um, okay, well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:28You, you too, darling.
00:39:30Mwah.
00:39:34Tick tock.
00:39:47All right, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:39:52Any ideas?
00:39:54Inner rehab.
00:39:56Too tacky.
00:39:58Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:00Mm, too obvious.
00:40:02Record an apology video for social media?
00:40:04And post it there.
00:40:06Too cringe.
00:40:11Adopt an orphan.
00:40:12Now that is something.
00:40:14Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:16Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:21What about a charity ball?
00:40:24Yes, that's it.
00:40:25That's the one.
00:40:26I like that.
00:40:27I like it a lot.
00:40:29Isn't she good?
00:40:30Phenomenal.
00:40:31Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her.
00:40:34She's your assistant.
00:40:35So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:37Got it.
00:40:38Wait.
00:40:39What charity would it be for?
00:40:41How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:44I'd love that.
00:40:46Let's get it rolling.
00:40:47I'll start right away.
00:40:49Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:40:56Oh, my gosh.
00:40:58I'm honored.
00:40:58Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:04Good job, Ariel.
00:41:10Let's see how it looks.
00:41:12Come out.
00:41:16It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:20Wow.
00:41:21Stunning.
00:41:26Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:28A dress?
00:41:30What's the occasion?
00:41:32Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:38I love a good ball.
00:41:41But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:45Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:48My new AI tech is going to revolutionize the world.
00:41:53Ah, yes.
00:41:55We got interrupted.
00:41:56You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:00What were you going to say?
00:42:03It's not really that necessary.
00:42:07You don't trust me?
00:42:08I do.
00:42:10This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:16But I thought I was special.
00:42:19You are.
00:42:20I just...
00:42:21Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:25Wait.
00:42:30So you do trust me?
00:42:32Mm-hmm.
00:42:42So, Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:47Mm-hmm.
00:42:49Mm-hmm.
00:42:50Where is it?
00:42:51It's here.
00:42:53In the mansion.
00:42:57It's here?
00:43:04Mm-hmm.
00:43:12Where in the mansion?
00:43:15It's...
00:43:17Mm-hmm.
00:43:18Oh.
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:24Now?
00:43:33Where are you going, darling?
00:43:39They need me to be on this call with China, so...
00:43:42I have to leave.
00:43:44You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:46Yeah.
00:43:47Now.
00:43:48I'm sorry.
00:43:50We'll pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:57Martina was right about you.
00:43:59I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:01I should start sharing more with you.

00:44:31Did you get it?
00:44:33The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:36Excellent, darling.
00:44:38Excellent.
00:45:02Max, what are you doing here?
00:45:04What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:05Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:09You wouldn't understand.
00:45:11Oh, I understand.
00:45:12You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:17No, I'm not.
00:45:19You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:25It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:28Please don't.
00:45:30You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:31Oh, you'll lose your job?
00:45:33Your reputation?
00:45:35Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:39What do you want, Max?
00:45:40I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:45:44I'd rather not.
00:45:46Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:45:51Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:45:54Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:45:57I want to destroy you.
00:46:00You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:05If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town,
00:46:12I'll do it for you.
00:46:28You seem extra happy today.
00:46:31I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:46:36Wow, that's awesome, man.
00:46:38I'm so happy for you.
00:46:39Hi, Mr. Erlington.
00:46:40Hi, Kurt.
00:46:41Hi, Anna.
00:46:43Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:47Kurt?
00:46:48Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:46:54Hi, Ariel.
00:46:55You all right?
00:46:57Yeah, I'm all right.
00:46:58Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:04Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:09I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:13Where?
00:47:13I was thinking your house.
00:47:20Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:25Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:31And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:34Yeah, that makes sense.
00:47:37Okay.
00:47:38Let's do it.
00:47:39Great.
00:47:40I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:44She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:47:47What do you know about Ariel?
00:47:51What do you want to know?
00:48:05Here you go, Mom.
00:48:08I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:10I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:12That's okay.
00:48:13We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:16Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:20Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:21And people your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:48:29I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:32What?
00:48:33What's he like?
00:48:34It's complicated.
00:48:36Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:48:40Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:48:45Oh.
00:48:48Oh.
00:48:50Sweetie.
00:48:51I'm fine.
00:48:52I just need some rest.
00:48:57Hmm.
00:49:13And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:49:18I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:49:20I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:24I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:49:28I promise.
00:49:29You're going to be amazing.
00:49:32Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:49:36This charity ball idea was genius.
00:49:39I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:41I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:47Well, I should get going.
00:49:49Wait.
00:49:50Um...
00:49:50I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:49:53Make sure the dress fits.
00:49:56I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:49:58All right.
00:49:59Good night.
00:50:01Good night.
00:50:13Hello, darling.
00:50:14I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:17It's perfect.
00:50:19I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:22I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:24Good night.
00:50:46Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:50:49Thanks, Kurt.
00:50:50You're looking sharp.
00:50:52Oh, yeah.
00:50:52Yeah, well, got a dress to impress, you know?
00:50:56Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:50:58Nah.
00:51:00Listen, random.
00:51:03Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:06I don't think so.
00:51:08Do you like her?
00:51:10No.
00:51:11No, no, no.
00:51:13No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:51:17Yeah.
00:51:19We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:23Oh.
00:51:25You're still here.
00:51:26Yeah.
00:51:27Uh, listen.
00:51:30If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:35what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:39Probably good.
00:51:41Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:45No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:51:51That one just sprung to mind.
00:51:53Mm-hmm.
00:51:54Okay.
00:51:56Yeah.
00:51:58Um, well, I'm, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:07So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:10I will see you later.
00:52:12All right, see ya.
00:52:15And you must be Ariel.
00:52:20Yes, hi.
00:52:23Hmm.
00:52:24You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:27He has?
00:52:28Oh, yes, yes.
00:52:29In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:34I suppose so.
00:52:36Wonderful.
00:52:38Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done
00:52:41if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:52:44Wow.
00:52:45That's such an honor.
00:52:46I heard he was a great man.
00:52:49He was a great man.
00:52:51Martina.
00:52:53Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:52:56Yes, briefly.
00:52:58She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:01Yes, yes, she has.
00:53:02In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington
00:53:07if she keeps it up.
00:53:09Why wait?
00:53:10She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:13Really?
00:53:14I think so.
00:53:15Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:17Uh, uh-huh.

01:12:43I don't know, but, uh, these scandals are exhausting.
01:12:49Yeah.
01:12:50I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:12:55Right.
01:12:58I got a lot to think about.
01:13:01What do you mean?
01:13:02I mean, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for it to gain back the
01:13:08public's trust.
01:13:10You can't be serious.
01:13:12Well?
01:13:16Something better happen soon, or I guess much worse.
01:13:21Did she want anything from you?
01:13:24I don't know, Martina.
01:13:26Nothing valuable?
01:13:28Martina, I said I don't...

01:15:20This is a wonderful surprise.
01:15:20It's time to celebrate.
01:15:24To the future, darling.
01:15:32Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:15:40There it is.
01:15:42Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:15:45People walk in and out of my office,
01:15:47having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:15:51Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer,
01:15:54since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:15:58I guess I just feel bad.
01:16:00To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:16:04Break the rules a little.
01:16:08I guess.
01:16:10Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:16:16Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:16:19Well, anyway, speaking of money,
01:16:22let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:25What?
01:16:26All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.
01:16:30I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:16:34I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:16:39No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:16:44Darling?
01:16:45Darling?
01:17:10All right, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:17:15Deal.
01:17:16One more.
01:17:22Anna.
01:17:23Hi, Mr. Ellington.
01:17:24May I come in?
01:17:24Sure.
01:17:25Come on in.
01:17:27Hi, cutie.
01:17:31Care for a drink?
01:17:32Oh, no.
01:17:33I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:17:35Wait, what was that?
01:17:36Mr. Ellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:17:39From who?
01:17:40Ariel.
01:17:46I don't want it.
01:17:48Take it back.
01:17:49She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:17:54How important?
01:17:56I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver
01:18:02it, so it must be a big deal.
01:18:18Oh, my God.
01:18:20Oh, my God.
01:18:21Ew!
01:18:22What's happening?
01:18:23What's going on?
01:18:24What does this mean?
01:18:42Oh, Flora?
01:18:43Yes, darling.
01:18:44Your appointment had to leave early.
01:18:47I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:18:49I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:18:52What was the name?
01:18:56Valentina Kingsley?
01:19:16You're rich.
01:19:18You'll get over it.
01:19:20Darling.
01:19:20You're rich, darling.
01:19:35What's going on?
01:19:36What does this mean?
01:19:41Thank you for everything
01:19:48Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:19:52Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that
01:19:59Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:20:07Blaine, there's no easy way for me to say this
01:20:12But it's time
01:20:21But it's time
01:20:27To celebrate
01:20:33You are going to regret this
01:20:35I promise you that
01:20:41Jeez, what did you do?
01:20:43I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress
01:20:46She can step on me any day
01:20:51I knew you could do it
01:20:53I knew it
01:20:54You know
01:20:57Your dad would be so proud of you
01:21:09Dr. Westfall
01:21:10Oh, hi, Ariel
01:21:11Is surgery over?
01:21:12How did it go?
01:21:13Yes, we just finished
01:21:14Um, there were complications
01:21:16Complications?
01:21:17Yes, but we were able to work through them
01:21:19And your mother's going to be just fine
01:21:23Really?
01:21:24Yeah, really, yes
01:21:25In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now
01:21:27She's going to need to rest for a few hours
01:21:30But when she wakes up
01:21:31She's going to feel better than she has in a long time
01:21:33I can't thank you enough
01:21:35I'm happy to help
01:21:36Oh, no, no, that's fine
01:21:46I know
01:21:46It's okay
01:21:51I know
01:21:54I know
01:21:55I know
01:22:04We've got my five
01:22:15Come in, come in.
01:22:18Welcome.
01:22:24Ariel.
01:22:26Mom, why didn't you hang out of bed?
01:22:28The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:22:30I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window
01:22:33and I got kind of excited.
01:22:37Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:22:39No, thank you, but thank you.
01:22:41Oh, thank you.
01:22:42Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:22:45Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:22:48Oh, of course.
01:22:52I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:23:02I'm so, so sorry.
01:23:04I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:23:09And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:23:13Thank you for everything.
01:23:17I don't even know where to start.
01:23:21I'm not looking for an apology.
01:23:24You're not?
01:23:26No.
01:23:27See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:23:32And you're kind of the best in town.
01:23:36I accept.
01:23:38And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:23:46Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:24:03I love you, Valentina.
01:24:05I, I mean, Ariel.
01:24:08That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:24:12There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:24:15But this is my special place.
01:24:19It's even better.
01:24:24But this is my favorite part of our relationship to the
