00:00:09Hey, 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.
00:00:42Be sexy.
00:00:43Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:00:47And being sexy is easy.
00:00:50Bite 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.
00:00:59So 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.
00:01:11It's your call.
00:01:13I don't know.
00:01:13I don't know.
00:01:42Are you gonna 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
00:02:00You're so...
00:02:01Rich?
00:02:03Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes
00:02:07Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley
00:02:12And you are?
00:02:14Lane Ellington
00:02:15CEO of Ellington Incorporated
00:02:18Hmm
00:02:19And this is a successful company?
00:02:21It's not ringing any bells
00:02:25Waiter?
00:02:26Yes, Mr. Ellington
00:02:27You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:31Yes, of course
00:02:32If so, we'll have two bottles
00:02:34Uh, it's $60,000 per bottle, sir
00:02:38You want two?
00:02:41Actually, I'm pretty thirsty
00:02:43Better bring three
00:02:45Yeah, right, yes, of course, right away, sir
00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:54I invest
00:02:56In what?
00:02:58In everything
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:04Businesses?
00:03:06Charities?
00:03:08I see
00:03:09And you live in the city?
00:03:12The city
00:03:13The hills
00:03:16My house
00:03:18Yacht
00:03:18My
00:03:19Private island
00:03:21I'm everywhere, darling
00:03:23You're so
00:03:24Impressive
00:03:26So unlike
00:03:27The other girls I've
00:03:29Seen
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me
00:03:31I'm one of a kind, darling
00:03:38Um
00:03:39You've got a little, uh
00:03:48Thank you
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:53Kurt?
00:03:53What's my manager doing here?
00:03:57Blaine
00:04:00My business interview just ended
00:04:01The presentation for the China branch
00:04:03Looking good
00:04:04Amazing
00:04:04You're the best, Kurt
00:04:05Well, I just, uh
00:04:06Won't keep you two
00:04:07Just wanted to say hi
00:04:10Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:12Ended up being a blind date
00:04:13Ah, classic
00:04:15Alright, well
00:04:16You two have fun
00:04:23I've got to be honest with you
00:04:27You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with
00:04:30Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:33I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code
00:04:35Absolutely, darling
00:04:43Whoa
00:04:46Welcome to my home
00:04:48After you
00:05:04Oh, my
00:05:16Do you like what you see?
00:05:19You're getting there, darling
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated
00:05:22But
00:05:24Well then
00:05:25Shall we get started?
00:05:29Uh, not so fast
00:05:33Okay
00:05:33A little foreplay?
00:05:35I did not think this through at all
00:05:37How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:45Looking for something?
00:05:47Oh, um
00:05:52I should have known that was your style
00:05:55Oh, yes, darling
00:05:58Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this
00:06:00I'm not used to being the one tied up
00:06:02It's usually the other way around
00:06:09Valentina?
00:06:11Patience, darling
00:06:12I'm
00:06:13Building the suspense
00:06:15Ah, I see
00:06:17Ugh, where could it be?
00:06:19Right
00:06:19And
00:06:20You say guys actually like this?
00:06:23Oh, yes
00:06:24It's very popular with the manly men in France
00:06:30How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:37That's
00:06:38That's new
00:06:41The painting
00:06:42Maybe there's a safe behind there
00:06:44Oh, uh
00:06:46Sorry, this painting caught my eye
00:06:49It looks exactly like
00:06:50The one in my mansion in Sweden
00:06:54It's where I keep my safe
00:06:57People actually still hide things behind paintings
00:07:01Thought that was only in the movies
00:07:02Oh, no, it's quite popular
00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:11In a super, super, super secret hiding place
00:07:14Ugh, come on
00:07:18Now why don't you come over here and get this thing started
00:07:21Oh, uh
00:07:23Most unfortunate
00:07:24I'm
00:07:25I'm getting the utmost important business call
00:07:28And I must take it
00:07:29Right now?
00:07:30What?
00:07:31What about me?
00:07:33Valentina!
00:07:37Wait!
00:07:39Untie me!
00:07:44Ew
00:07:46Really, Blaine?
00:07:47What?
00:07:49But you and your models
00:07:52Last night was not a model
00:07:54I was actually impressed
00:07:57Did I hear it right?
00:07:59Blaine actually had a date he liked
00:08:01It was fantastic
00:08:03The other girls are so boring
00:08:05But this one
00:08:07She's a mystery I can't quite crack
00:08:10I must see her again
00:08:12Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures
00:08:15It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with
00:08:18And running the company
00:08:23Grandfather
00:08:23Hmm?
00:08:24Listen to him
00:08:25He's not ready to be the face of Ellington
00:08:27I am much more qualified
00:08:29Oh, yeah
00:08:31I'm done having this conversation with you, dear
00:08:34No, no, no, no
00:08:36Look, you do great work right where you are
00:08:38Right?
00:08:40Yeah, you weren't meant to be some CEO
00:08:42No, but Blaine
00:08:44Blaine will learn in time
00:08:47Whatever
00:08:49Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine
00:08:51I have actual work to attend to
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:06Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:09Hmm
00:09:11To perfection
00:09:13She already has Blaine wrapped around her finger
00:09:15It won't be long until he slips up
00:09:17And I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO
00:09:23Brilliant
00:09:23It's all coming together perfectly
00:09:26And the VR tech you're developing
00:09:28It'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:30Oh, yes
00:09:31It'll be ready
00:09:33Soon we'll be queens of the tech world
00:09:48What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls
00:09:50I think I know who'll be perfect as your new assistant
00:09:55Sorry
00:09:56I'm fine
00:09:58Ariel
00:10:00How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge
00:10:10There you go
00:10:11Thanks
00:10:19She's amazing
00:10:22Are you playing hide and seek?
00:10:24Is that where you were late?
00:10:25Can I hide next?
00:10:26No, I was dropping their mama at the hospital
00:10:28Oh, that was unexpectedly personal
00:10:31Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:33Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:34She's just getting some tests done
00:10:36Oh, thank goodness
00:10:38Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:40Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant
00:10:42Are you going to apply?
00:10:44I'm good where I am
00:10:45But all the girls are applying
00:10:46Everyone wants to get close to our boss
00:10:48You're the best employee in our department, Ariel
00:10:50I think this position is yours
00:11:01He's gorgeous
00:11:03I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day
00:11:07Attention, everyone
00:11:09My name is Blaine
00:11:10And I am the new CEO
00:11:13I will try my best to live up to my father
00:11:16But I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role
00:11:20And since he is adjusting to this new role
00:11:23I've decided to assign him a new assistant
00:11:27Not me, not me, not me
00:11:28Blaine
00:11:30Meet your new assistant
00:11:31Ariel
00:11:36All right, everyone
00:11:38Back to work
00:11:45You look
00:11:47Exactly like
00:11:49Oh my god, my cover's blown
00:11:55Kurt described
00:11:57Clean
00:11:58Organized desk
00:11:59Confident composure
00:12:02There'd be a pay raise, of course
00:12:05This could get me closer to finding the code
00:12:08When do I start?
00:12:10Perfect
00:12:11First thing I need help with
00:12:12There's this file
00:12:14Oh, um
00:12:15Gotta take a phone call
00:12:16Send it to me in an email
00:12:21Ariel, he wants to meet you again
00:12:24Really?
00:12:26Also, I got you a second number
00:12:27Just click the link to connect it
00:12:29So from now on, you're the one he'll be calling
00:12:32Great
00:12:33Great
00:12:39New number, huh?
00:12:44Hello?
00:12:45Hello?
00:12:46Hello, Ariel
00:12:46This is Dr. Westphal
00:12:47We just got your mother's results
00:12:54It's not what we hoped
00:12:55So we need to move quickly
00:12:57If we want that experimental procedure to be a success
00:12:59Okay, I understand
00:13:02I'll come up with the money for it soon
00:13:05Thank you
00:13:13Oh, perfect timing
00:13:14I just finished dinner
00:13:16Mom, you should be in bed
00:13:18Honey, I'm fine
00:13:19Besides, you've been working all day
00:13:21You shouldn't have to cook for yourself
00:13:23Mom, please
00:13:24Honey, sit down
00:13:36The doctor called?
00:13:37He says it's gotten worse
00:13:39Hush, hush, hush
00:13:40Hush
00:13:41None of that talk, okay?
00:13:43Mom
00:13:44Eat before your food gets cold
00:13:54I'll be right back
00:14:02It's time for the second date, darling
00:14:04Are you ready?
00:14:07Yeah
00:14:10Mom, I have to leave for work
00:14:13I'll make it to go
00:14:30Oh, where am I?
00:14:35Valentina
00:14:36Blaine
00:14:38Darling
00:14:39What is this dreadful place?
00:14:41Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:42No, not at all
00:14:44This place is special
00:14:46Follow me
00:15:00We're almost there
00:15:01Come on
00:15:18Wow
00:15:27Did you look at that view?
00:15:31I bet you bring all your models up here
00:15:33Just you, actually
00:15:35I discovered this place after my father died
00:15:40Your father died?
00:15:41Yeah
00:15:43I've been thrown into the CEO position
00:15:45And, uh
00:15:47I'm a bit in over my head
00:15:49So
00:15:50I never really get a chance to myself
00:15:52Except
00:15:52That's
00:15:52When I come here
00:15:56I'm so sorry
00:16:03My mama's sick
00:16:08She needs
00:16:09Experimental surgery
00:16:14Saying how it feels
00:16:15To
00:16:17Want to get away?
00:16:18Yeah
00:16:21I'm used to getting everything
00:16:23But this is one thing
00:16:25That
00:16:26Money can't buy
00:16:28I'm so sorry about your mom
00:16:30Thanks
00:16:34She's all I've got
00:16:36I don't want to say goodbye to her
00:16:38I don't want to say goodbye to her
00:16:47Hey, who's out here?
00:16:53What's happening?
00:16:55Technically, we're not supposed to be up here
00:16:57What?
00:16:57Run
00:17:06Hey
00:17:09Still
00:17:14What was that?
00:17:16That was fun
00:17:17Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:20No
00:17:21I suppose not
00:17:24I haven't felt this way
00:17:26In a really wrong time
00:17:29I feel like
00:17:31But
00:17:32I need to pay for my mom's surgery
00:17:36I'd love to
00:17:41Well, well, well
00:17:44Martina
00:17:44What are you doing here?
00:17:46Hm
00:17:46I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO
00:17:50Had to see it for myself
00:17:53Well
00:17:53That blind date went so well the other night
00:17:56It got me thinking
00:17:57Maybe grandfather was right
00:17:58Is that so?
00:18:01Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:03That's right
00:18:04Wow
00:18:05What's she like?
00:18:06She's funny
00:18:08Mysterious
00:18:08Confident
00:18:09Hardworking
00:18:11Yeah
00:18:13Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington
00:18:15Is this about time?
00:18:16No, not at all
00:18:17My sister just came to visit

00:18:35That you won't lose
00:18:35This new AI tech
00:18:36That we need

00:20:20That was close
00:20:26Hey girlfriend
00:20:27Can I ask your advice
00:20:29On something?
00:20:30Sure
00:20:30What's going on?
00:20:32So I have this friend
00:20:33Who is having
00:20:34Boy problems
00:20:35Aren't we all
00:20:36So
00:20:36She has a crush on her boss
00:20:38And she doesn't know
00:20:40What to do about it
00:20:40Because of the whole
00:20:41Workplace relationship thing
00:20:42How did she find out
00:20:43I like Blaine?
00:20:44Wait
00:20:45I don't like Blaine
00:20:46But he deserves to know
00:20:47Though, right?
00:20:48You're gonna tell him?
00:20:49I mean, I don't know
00:20:50Because what if I tell Kurt
00:20:52I like him
00:20:52And he doesn't like me
00:20:53And then
00:20:54It's so totally awkward
00:20:55And so he fires me
00:20:56Because it's so totally awkward
00:20:57Wait
00:20:58You like Kurt?
00:21:00I gotta go
00:21:01What?
00:21:02Ring ring
00:21:03Oh
00:21:03I'm getting a call
00:21:06Ring ring
00:21:07Ring ring
00:21:08Ring ring
00:21:12Ariel
00:21:14Yes, Mr. Ellington
00:21:15I need your personal help
00:21:17Well, I am your personal assistant
00:21:29I've never gotten a girl a gift
00:21:31Wow, really?
00:21:33Um, I mean
00:21:34Yeah
00:21:35First girlfriend
00:21:36First gift
00:21:37Checks out
00:21:38So
00:21:39I need your help
00:21:41To figure out

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

00:53:58BLANE
00:53:58BLANE
00:53:59There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:01Here I am.
00:54:02Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:05No, I don't think so.
00:54:07About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:10Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:13In fact...
00:54:15What?
00:54:17Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:54:19I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:25I'll get right on that.
00:54:26Thank you. Bye.
00:54:35Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech. Then we're back to finding the
00:54:41drive.
00:54:42Okay.
00:54:44He can do this.
00:54:47Oh, hi, ARIEL.
00:54:51Uh, you must be mistaken, love. I don't know this ARIEL you speak of.
00:54:58Yeah, okay. ARIEL.
00:55:01No, seriously. My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:07Oh, I get it. It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:11No, no, no, no game. My name is... who else should I be?
00:55:17Just be yourself.
00:55:19I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:23You can really tell it's me?
00:55:25Well, yeah, but... I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:30Really?
00:55:31Mm-hmm.
00:55:31Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:36Okay. Can I ask why?
00:55:38Uh, well, it's really complicated.
00:55:41Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:55:45Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:55:48Yeah, sure.
00:55:50Aww. Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:55:57Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:56:21Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:23Ah, Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:25Look at this place.
00:56:27I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:30I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:33Of course.
00:56:34You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:36Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:56:39They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:56:42You make me feel so confident.
00:56:44I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:56:53Of course.
00:56:55Okay, perfect.
00:56:57Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside, I must go speak with her.
00:57:01Uh, Valentina.
00:57:01I was thinking, maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:09Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:13Great.
00:57:14Where would this be taking place?
00:57:16In the study, or?
00:57:18Upstairs.
00:57:19Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:22Ah, I see.
00:57:25You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:32What the heck did I say?
00:57:34I'll give you a hint.
00:57:35If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:57:42I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:57:46Good luck, darling.
00:58:10Excuse me.
00:58:11What are you doing in here?
00:58:15You look lost.
00:58:17I am, darling.
00:58:19I am lost.
00:58:21I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:58:26Grandfather?
00:58:27Yes?
00:58:27This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:58:32Oh, yes, yes.
00:58:34From the front page of the Times.
00:58:36Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:58:38I hope it was all good things.
00:58:40Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:58:47And I trust that Blaine is treating you respectfully, like a lady?
00:58:54He is.
00:58:55Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:58:58If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:03Right.
00:59:05Good thing.
00:59:07Shall we return to the party?
00:59:10Yes, we shall.
00:59:11Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:14You too, sir.
00:59:35You seem quiet.
00:59:37Is everything all right?
00:59:38Everything's fine, darling.
00:59:41Hey, Valentina.
00:59:42I have a girl question.
00:59:44For you.
00:59:49Oh, my God.
00:59:49For the love of God.
00:59:51You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
00:59:53Just ask her to dance.
00:59:54You just met me, you can already tell?
00:59:56Yes.
00:59:58You read me like a book.
01:00:00I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:02You're really inquisitive.
01:00:04In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:07Would you?
01:00:08That would be great.
01:00:10Dude.
01:00:15Hannah.
01:00:16I need a favor.
01:00:17Anything.
01:00:18When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:00:21If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:00:23And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:00:28Got it.
01:00:30Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:00:33Really?
01:00:35Sorry.
01:00:36When?
01:00:38Tonight.
01:00:38Oh, right.
01:00:39It's a ball.
01:00:40Yeah.
01:00:53It's time, brother.
01:00:54You ready?
01:00:55As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:01Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:04It means a lot.
01:01:05Of course.
01:01:07You're going to be amazing.
01:01:15Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:01:20It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:01:28Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:01:34Good evening, everyone.
01:01:37I want to, uh, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of this would have
01:01:43happened tonight.
01:01:45My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:01:52I'm not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:02Hi, Anna.
01:02:04Oh, hi.
01:02:06You haven't, uh, seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:09I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:12Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:02:17Oh, okay.
01:02:21Um, you look, you look really pretty, by the way.
01:02:25Thanks.
01:02:27You look really pretty, too.
01:02:50All right, time to find this code.
01:03:11Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:14What the heck did I say?
01:03:18The painting's good.
01:03:34So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:03:43Thank you all for coming.
01:03:45I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:07I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:09I love you.
01:04:40I'll give you hints, if you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful
01:04:45thing in the world.
01:04:49He wasn't talking about the painting, he was talking about me.
01:05:20He was talking about the painting, he was talking about the painting, he was talking about
01:05:39the painting, he was talking about the painting.
01:05:47Ok…
01:05:47I think Ariel.
01:06:03What could the numbers be?
01:06:05It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:06:34I've got the code.
01:06:36Excellent, darling.
01:06:38I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:06:40Or you could give it to me now.
01:06:44Flora?
01:06:49What are you doing here?
01:06:52I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:06:54Just like you, apparently.
01:06:58The code, darling.
01:07:04The future.
01:07:06In the palm of my hand.
01:07:10I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:13Lane's a good man.
01:07:16You're awful.
01:07:17He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:07:20My mom?
01:07:22And her surgery?
01:07:24I've been accused of many things.
01:07:26But I always keep my word.
01:07:29Now, go and celebrate.
01:07:31You deserve it, darling.
01:07:51I'm sorry.
01:07:52If you're going to do this...
01:07:52I'm sorry.
01:07:53I'm sorry.
01:07:54How is it all?
01:07:56I'm sorry.
01:07:57I'm sorry.
01:07:58I'm sorry.
01:07:59Hi, Christina.
01:08:00Hi, darling.
01:08:00There you are.
01:08:02How are you feeling?
01:08:04Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:07Excellent.
01:08:08Care to dance?
01:08:10Certainly.
01:08:13Well, well, well, well, look at the happy couple.
01:08:25How did you get in?
01:08:26Oh, I have my ways.
01:08:28We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:08:34Anyway, I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:08:39You need to leave.
01:08:41Actually, I don't think I do, because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:08:47She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:08:48No, no, no.
01:08:50There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:08:54What?
01:08:54What?
01:08:55If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:09:00You know, it's funny.
01:09:01I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:09:05Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:09:07What is he talking about?
01:09:10Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here, but an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:09:20No, no.
01:09:25No, no.
01:09:33No.
01:09:34No, no, no.
01:09:37No!
01:09:40No, no.
01:09:43No!
01:09:43No!
01:09:44That's right. This whole time, you pretended to care about me. But you're... you're just a liar.
01:09:51And worse, she's poor.
01:09:55Why?
01:09:56Yes, Ariel. But why?
01:10:00I'm so sorry.
01:10:01Ariel. Ariel, wait!
01:10:05How embarrassing.
01:10:08You know, I looked into you.
01:10:12You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:10:18How preposterous!
01:10:19If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:10:23Ew! You're poor?
01:10:27Regina!
01:10:31Whew.
01:10:33You're my hero.
01:10:35Thanks. Sometimes I just gotta tell them, you know.
01:10:42Ariel!
01:10:51What are you smiling about?
01:10:53I mean, come on. This proves it, right? He's a joke.
01:10:59No, he is your brother, Martina.
01:11:02He's a liability, Richard.
01:11:04And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show, because
01:11:08you won't be alive much longer.
01:11:09Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:11:12You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:11:17You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:11:22I should be running this company.
01:11:25Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:11:32Look, I'm not poor.
01:11:34What is that?
01:11:34I don't want to hear it.
01:11:35I do not want to hear it.
01:11:36I promise you, I don't want to hear it.
01:11:37You lied to me. Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:11:41No, I didn't.
01:11:41There!
01:11:47Regina!
01:12:11That was a disaster.
01:12:15I just don't understand.
01:12:17Why would she go through all of that?
01:12:20I don't know.
01:12:23But, uh...
01:12:24These scandals are exhausting.
01:12:26Yeah.
01:12:27I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:12:33Right.
01:12:36I got a lot to think about.
01:12:38What do you mean?
01:12:40I mean,
01:12:41we may have to take the company in a completely different direction
01:12:44for it to gain back the public's trust.
01:12:47You can't be serious.
01:12:49Huh?
01:12:54Something better happen soon,
01:12:55or I guess much worse.
01:12:59Did she want anything from you?
01:13:02I don't know, Martina.
