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.
00:01:00Be 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.
00:01:12It's your call.
00:01:13It's your call.
00:01:17It's your call.
00:01:42Are you going to stare at me all night or 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?
00:02:02Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes.
00:02:07Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:13And you are?
00:02:14Blaine Ellington.
00:02:15CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:18Hmm, and 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.
00:02:35Uh, 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.
00:02:57In what?
00:02:59In everything.
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:04Businesses?
00:03:06Charities?
00:03:08I see.
00:03:10And you live in the city?
00:03:12The city.
00:03:14The hills.
00:03:16My yacht.
00:03:19My private island.
00:03:22I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:24You're so impressive.
00:03:27So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:32I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:38Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:53Kurt?
00:03:53What's my manager doing here?
00:03:57Blaine!
00:04:00My business inter 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, won'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.
00:04:15All right, well, you 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.
00:04:36Absolutely, darling.
00:04:43Whoa.
00:04:46Welcome to my home.
00:04:48After you.
00:05:04Oh, my.
00:05:06Oh, my.
00:05:16Do you like what you see?
00:05:19You're getting there, darling.
00:05:21Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:24Well, then, shall 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.
00:06:03It's usually the other way around.
00:06:09Valentina?
00:06:11Patience, darling.
00:06:12I'm building the suspense.
00:06:15Ah, I see.
00:06:17Where could it be?
00:06:19Right.
00:06:19And you 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!
00:06:43Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:45Oh, 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 add things behind paintings?
00:07:01Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:03Oh, no.
00:07:04It's quite popular.
00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:11In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:15Ugh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:22Oh, uh...
00:07:23Most unfortunate.
00:07:24I'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.
00:08:02It was fantastic.
00:08:03The other girls, they're so boring.
00:08:06But this one, she'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 and running the company.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:23Grandfather.
00:08:24Hmm?
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.
00:08:39Right?
00:08:40Yeah, you weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:42No, no, but Blaine, Blaine 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.
00:08:54Whoa.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:11To perfection, she already has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:16It won't be long until he slips up, and 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, it'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.
00:09:36Hmm.
00:09:48What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:54Sorry.
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.
00:10:29Oh, 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.
00:10:43Are you going to apply?
00:10:43I'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.
00:11:08Attention, everyone.
00:11:09My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:13I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:17but 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.
00:11:29Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:36All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:45You look exactly like...
00:11:49Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:55Kurt described.
00:11:57Clean, organized desk, confident 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.
00:12:11Uh, first thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:12:14Oh, um, gotta 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.
00:12:28Just click the link to connect it,
00:12:29so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:33Great.
00:12:38Hmm.
00:12:39New number, huh?
00:12:44Hello?
00:12:45Hello, Ariel.
00:12:46This is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:48We just got your mother's results.
00:12:54It's not what we hoped.
00:12:55So we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:13:00Okay, I understand.
00:13:02I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:12Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:14I just finished dinner.
00:13:16Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:18Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:20Besides, 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.
00:13:39Oh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
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.
00:14:05Are 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?
00:14:34Valentina!
00:14:36Blaine!
00:14:38Darling, what 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.
00:14:59How many more?
00:15:00We're almost there.
00:15:02Come on.
00:15:08That's just me.
00:15:18Wow.
00:15:28Did 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.
00:15:43And I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:45and, uh,
00:15:47I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:49so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:52except when I come here.
00:15:56I'm so sorry.
00:15:57I'm so sorry.
00:16:03My mom is sick.
00:16:08She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:14saying how it feels to her.
00:16:17Want to get away?
00:16:19Yeah.
00:16:21I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:23but this is one thing,
00:16:25that money 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.
00:16:47Hey!
00:16:48Who's out here?
00:16:53What's happening?
00:16:55Technically,
00:16:55we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:57What?
00:16:57Run.
00:17:06Hey!
00:17:09Still!
00:17:15What was that?
00:17:16That was fun.
00:17:17Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates
00:17:19that adventurous?
00:17:20No.
00:17:21I suppose not.
00:17:24I haven't felt this way
00:17:26in a really long time.
00:17:29I feel like...
00:17:31but I need to pay
00:17:32for 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?
00:17:46Hmph.
00:17:47I heard you were actually
00:17:48acting like a big boy CEO.
00:17:51Had to see it for myself.
00:17:53Well,
00:17:54that blind date went so well
00:17:55the 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
00:18:01a little girlfriend?
00:18:03That's right.
00:18:04Wow.
00:18:05What's she like?
00:18:06She's funny,
00:18:08mysterious,
00:18:09confident,

00:20:27Hey, girlfriend!
00:20:28Can I ask your advice
00:20:29on something?
00:20:30Sure.
00:20:31What's going on?
00:20:32So,
00:20:32I have this friend
00:20:33who is having
00:20:34boy problems.
00:20:35Aren't we all?
00:20:36So,
00:20:37she has a crush
00:20:37on her boss
00:20:38and
00:20:39she 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
00:20:47to know though, right?
00:20:48You're going to tell him?
00:20:49I mean,
00:20:50I 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 it's so totally awkward
00:20:55and so he fires me
00:20:56because it's so totally awkward.
00:20:58Wait,
00:20:58do you like Kurt?
00:21:00I gotta go!
00:21:02What?
00:21:02Ring, ring!
00:21:03Oh,

00:21:33Um,
00:21:34I mean,
00:21:35yeah,
00:21:36first girlfriend,
00:21:37first gift.
00:21:37Checks out.
00:21:39So,
00:21:40I need your help
00:21:41to figure out
00:21:41which you think
00:21:42a woman would prefer.
00:21:55Oh my God,
00:21:56I'm going to be wearing that.
00:21:58Sorry?
00:22:00Your girlfriend's
00:22:01going to be wearing that?
00:22:02Yeah.
00:22:03It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:05Well,
00:22:06I mean,
00:22:06it's option one.
00:22:08Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:10Um,
00:22:11well,
00:22:12what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:13What are her
00:22:14tastes?
00:22:17Um,
00:22:18sophisticated,
00:22:19generous,
00:22:20gorgeous.
00:22:21The whole world
00:22:23slows down
00:22:23whenever she walks
00:22:24into 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
00:22:39revealing 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.
00:22:55That
00:22:56seems to be the style
00:22:57I've been seeing these days.
00:22:59With the rich folk.
00:23:01At 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?
00:23:16I think she'd really like that.
00:23:25Can I have a margarita?
00:23:28You can't be serious,
00:23:29darling.
00:23:31She'll have a friend
00:23:3275 with Konya.
00:23:33Flora,
00:23:34what are you doing here?
00:23:35Making sure you look the part.
00:23:37You want to make the money
00:23:39for your dear mother,
00:23:40don't you?
00:23:41Yes,
00:23:41more than anything.
00:23:42Then you need to keep your eyes
00:23:44on the prize.
00:23:46We need to get our hands
00:23:47on that code fast.
00:23:48Once I do,
00:23:49I can fund your mother's surgery,
00:23:51but until then,
00:23:52we're in this together.
00:23:54Yes?
00:23:56Yeah.
00:23:57Excellent.
00:23:59Now,
00:24:00what's your game plan?
00:24:01Make him even more vulnerable
00:24:03and get him to tell me
00:24:04where the code is.
00:24:06And how do you suppose
00:24:07you'll do that?
00:24:11Be nice?
00:24:15Your ignorance is both cute
00:24:17and annoying.
00:24:19No.
00:24:20A man like Blaine Ellington
00:24:23is going to become vulnerable
00:24:24from two things.
00:24:26Drinking with him
00:24:28and going to bed with him.
00:24:31Right.
00:24:33I can do that.
00:24:35I hope so,
00:24:36because he's coming this way.
00:24:40Get the code soon, honey.
00:24:43For your mother.
00:24:45Okay?
00:24:47Oh!
00:24:49And darling,
00:24:50have fun.
00:24:54All right.
00:24:56Valentina.
00:24:59How are you?
00:25:00Wonderful, love.
00:25:02I've been looking forward
00:25:03to this all day.
00:25:04Is that so?
00:25:06Indeed.
00:25:07I was so distracted.
00:25:09It affected my croquet score.
00:25:12Oh, no.
00:25:12Distracted over little old me.
00:25:14Yes.
00:25:15I simply must know
00:25:17everything about you.
00:25:18Well,
00:25:19what would you like to know?
00:25:21Everything.
00:25:22Well,
00:25:23I don't know about everything.
00:25:25It might take some time
00:25:26for me to open up.
00:25:27Well,
00:25:28maybe after a few drinks.
00:25:31Only if you can keep up.
00:25:33See,
00:25:34I don't really start talking
00:25:35until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:37Oh, no.
00:25:39Well,
00:25:39here goes nothing.
00:25:40I don't know about anything.
00:25:49That's really bad.
00:25:51Let's stop it.
00:25:53That's not an act.
00:25:54That's funny.
00:25:55Let's stop it.
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.
00:26:09And...
00:26:11Are you forgetful?
00:26:13I mean,
00:26:14yeah.
00:26:15Can you actually believe
00:26:17I lost the keys
00:26:18to a Maserati?
00:26:19What?
00:26:20Really?
00:26:20Yeah.
00:26:21It cost me $10,000
00:26:24just to get them re-keyed.
00:26:26Which is why
00:26:28I should probably tell someone
00:26:30in case
00:26:31I do forget.
00:26:33So,
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,
00:26:40go 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.
00:26:55All 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
00:27:08what you're talking about, darling.
00:27:09I don't know this...
00:27:12Ariel.
00:27:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:14You
00:27:15are definitely Ariel.
00:27:18But what are you doing
00:27:19in a place like this?
00:27:21You're poor.
00:27:22Fine.
00:27:23Please 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.
00:27:31Please.
00:27:32I'm begging you.
00:27:33Look at you.
00:27:34You look so much better.
00:27:37You look...
00:27:38Oh, what's that word?
00:27:40Rich?
00:27:41Please.
00:27:42I don't know
00:27:42if you've been keeping up
00:27:43with my life lately,
00:27:44but I've become
00:27:46very rich.
00:27:47Yes.
00:27:48You've sent me
00:27:4950 messages about it.
00:27:50I had to block your number.
00:27:51Oh.
00:27:52Yeah, that's right.
00:27:53Please, I'll do
00:27:54whatever you want, okay?
00:27:55I just...
00:27:57How about a kiss
00:27:58for old time's sake?
00:28:00You know, Ariel,
00:28:02sometimes I reminisce
00:28:03on our poor days together.
00:28:06This isn't happening.
00:28:07Do you not remember
00:28:08when we'd go
00:28:09and get Taco Tuesday
00:28:10at that Mexican restaurant
00:28:12and eat unlimited
00:28:14discount tacos?
00:28:16I'm very...
00:28:18Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:19Yes, he does.
00:28:21A situationship at best.
00:28:23Let go, Max.
00:28:24Nobody walks away
00:28:26from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:27Get off her.
00:28:30Blaine Ellington?
00:28:32Max Fletcher.
00:28:33Maximilian?
00:28:34What are you doing
00:28:36with that peasant?
00:28:37That's my girlfriend
00:28:38you're talking about.
00:28:39Blaine Ellington
00:28:40getting my sloppy seconds.
00:28:57This isn't over.
00:29:01Come on, Regina.
00:29:06Just stay away
00:29:07from my man, skink.
00:29:10I was actively 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?
00:29:30I assume the article
00:29:31does a good job.
00:29:34Getting into a physical
00:29:35altercation
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.
00:29:43Well, I don't care
00:29:44who started it.
00:29:46Ellington
00:29:46is a company
00:29:48based in family values.
00:29:51I was out with my girlfriend
00:29:53trying to uphold
00:29:54those family values.
00:29:55No, no, no, no,
00:29:55don't, don't, don't, don't.
00:29:56Don't play the girlfriend card,
00:29:57okay?
00:29:58The onus is you
00:29:59on this, pal.
00:30:02Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:04Maybe you're too much
00:30:05of a risk,
00:30:06even though you say
00:30:06you've settled down.
00:30:09Either way,
00:30:10I just hope all this
00:30:11boils over next time
00:30:12we talk.
00:30:14What would your father think?
00:30:33On the easy lies
00:30:34the 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,
00:30:40you idiot.
00:30:42What are you doing here?
00:30:43You don't want any of this.
00:30:45You don't know
00:30:46what I want.
00:30:48Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:30:50What does page one
00:30:51of the paper
00:30:52say something different?
00:30:53She's not a bimbo.
00:30:56Then don't treat her
00:30:57like one.
00:30:59Treat her like
00:31:00dad treated mom.
00:31:05How do you mean?
00:31:07Bring her completely
00:31:08into your life.
00:31:10Let her know
00:31:11everything about you.
00:31:13I'm trying to.
00:31:14Just last night,
00:31:15we were sharing
00:31:16everything with each other.
00:31:17Okay, share more.
00:31:19Behind most men's success
00:31:20is a strong woman.
00:31:22I will.
00:31:24I'm going to get close
00:31:25to this woman.
00:31:26You'll see.
00:31:27Hmm.
00:31:28And you will be like
00:31:30two lovely berries
00:31:31molded onto one stem.
00:31:33Shakespeare.
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:37Ow.
00:31:48Martina,
00:31:48how are you?
00:31:50How am I?
00:31:52Yeah.
00:31:53How are you?
00:31:54I am annoyed.
00:31:55Time is running out,
00:31:56understand?
00:31:57Mm-hmm.
00:31:58We chose you
00:31:58because 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
00:32:12four 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,
00:32:33bestie.
00:32:34It's Tuesday,
00:32:36Hannah.
00:32:37Oh,
00:32:37right.
00:32:38Hey,
00:32:38how's your guide trouble coming?
00:32:40Better.
00:32:41And worse.
00:32:43That sounds
00:32:44super complicated.
00:32:45You have no idea.
00:32:47Aaron?
00:32:48Can you come in here?
00:32:49I'll be right there.
00:32:51Good thing you've got work
00:32:52to distract you.
00:32:53Good thing.
00:33:01You have the file
00:33:02for the new China branch?
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:12Long night.
00:33:15You know what?
00:33:18Let's forget about the file.
00:33:29Let's just
00:33:30close our eyes
00:33:31for
00:33:3210 minutes.
00:33:42That's an order.
00:33:43Okay.
00:33:51This is nice.
00:33:54Yeah.
00:33:56This should be like
00:33:57an everyday thing.
00:34:01Mm-hmm.
00:34:04Good morning.
00:34:05Another beautiful day

00:34:10Hannah.
00:34:14Well,
00:34:15I guess that's over.
00:34:19Um.
00:34:20Well,
00:34:20everything should be there.
00:34:24I can't even
00:34:25concentrate on work
00:34:26right now.
00:34:27Oh?
00:34:28Why?
00:34:29Well,
00:34:29I don't know
00:34:30if you heard,
00:34:32but...
00:34:34Oh, my.

00:34:37Well,
00:34:37I'm glad you

00:34:40I can imagine.
00:34:42Yeah,

00:34:43I hope
00:34:44my girlfriend
00:34:45doesn't think
00:34:45that that's
00:34:46my kind of lifestyle.
00:34:49You should just
00:34:49talk to her
00:34:51and be honest.
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:53I'm gonna call her.
00:34:55What?
00:34:58Yeah,
00:34:58can you be in the room
00:34:59when I do it?
00:35:00Uh,

00:35:03Yeah,
00:35:04maybe you could,
00:35:04you know,
00:35:05listen to her voice
00:35:06and read her?
00:35:08Tell me if she
00:35:08sounds upset.
00:35:11Uh,
00:35:12I don't know
00:35:13if I feel comfortable.
00:35:14Oh, gosh,
00:35:15she makes me so nervous.
00:35:17I'm sure
00:35:18you make her nervous, too.
00:35:20Shit, shit, shit.
00:35:21Uh-oh.

00:35:41How are you?

00:35:44How are you feeling?
00:35:46A little banged up,
00:35:48but
00:35:48I've been worse.
00:35:49You should have been with me
00:35:50in my partying days
00:35:51in Ibiza.
00:35:52I was an absolute
00:35:53heathen.
00:36:00Well,
00:36:00I'm glad to hear
00:36:01you're feeling all right.
00:36:03Uh,
00:36:04I was worried.
00:36:07No need, darling.

00:36:25Uh,
00:36:27sorry.
00:36:28Can I help you?

00:36:49Community theater.
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.
00:37:02I'm not in the theater.
00:37:05That's fair.
00:37:21Mom, I'm home.
00:37:23Mom, I'm home.
00:37:23Hi, honey.
00:37:24How was your day?
00:37:27It was...
00:37:28not boring.
00:37:30How was yours?
00:37:32It was wonderful.
00:37:34I did laundry,
00:37:35watched some soaps.
00:37:38Um,
00:37:39what are you cooking?
00:37:40I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:37:42Well,
00:37:42you 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
00:38:02about a few work questions,
00:38:04but I was, uh,
00:38:05in the neighborhood
00:38:07and 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,
00:38:19you two don't mind me.
00:38:20Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:22Then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:35What 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,
00:38:44but I don't...
00:38:45But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:38:48I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:38:49Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:38:54You are not getting attached.
00:38:56What?
00:38:57No, of course not.
00:38:59Good.
00:39:00I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:05Dinner's ready.
00:39:08Deeply sorry, darling.
00:39:10Urgent business must be taking off.
00:39:11Oh, um, okay.
00:39:13Well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:15You too, darling.
00:39:17Mwah.
00:39:20Tick tock.
00:39:45Tick tock.
00:39:47All right.
00:39:47Mm, too obvious.
00:39:49Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:39:53Too cringe.
00:39:58Adopt an orphan.
00:39:59Now that is something.
00:40:01Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:03Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:08What about a charity ball?
00:40:10Yes.
00:40:11That's it.
00:40:12That's the one.
00:40:12I like that.
00:40:14I like it a lot.
00:40:15Isn't she good?
00:40:17Phenomenal.
00:40:18Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:40:22So, really, this 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 unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:31I love that.
00:40:32Let's get it rolling.
00:40:34I'll start right away.
00:40:36Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:40:43Oh, my gosh.
00:40:44I'm honored.
00:40:45Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:40:50Good job, Ariel.
00:40:57Let's see how it looks.
00:40:59Come out.
00:41:02It 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?
00:41:19Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and 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 you were talking about the other day?
00:41:35My new AI tech is going to revolutionize the world.
00:41:40Ah, yes.
00:41:42We got interrupted.
00:41:44You were going to tell me something important.
00:41:47What were you going to say?
00:41:49It's not really that necessary.
00:41:53You don't trust me?
00:41:55I do.
00:41:56This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:02But I thought I was special.
00:42:06You are.
00:42:07I just...
00:42:08Well, you know.
00:42:10If you don't trust me...
00:42:12Wait.
00:42:17So, you do trust me?
00:42:19Mm-hmm.
00:42:29So, Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:34Mm-hmm.
00:42:37Where is it?
00:42:38It's here.
00:42:40In the mansion.
00:42:44It's...
00:42:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:00Where in the mansion?
00:43:03It's...
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:11Now?
00:43:15Okay.
00:43:16I'll be there.
00:43:20No, no, no.
00:43:23Where are you going, darling?
00:43:26They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:43:31You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:33Yeah.
00:43:34Now.
00:43:36I'm sorry.
00:43:37Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:43:40Yeah.
00:43:44Martina was right about you.
00:43:46I should start sharing more with you.
00:43:49I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:02I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:06I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:19I should stop sharing more with you.
00:44:19Did you get it?
00:44:21The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:24Excellent, darling.
00:44:25Excellent.
00:44:50Max, what are you doing here?
00:44:51What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:44:53Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:44:57You wouldn't understand.
00:44:58Oh, I understand.
00:45:00You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:05No, I'm not.
00:45:06You know I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:13It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:16Please don't.
00:45:17You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:18Oh, you lose your job?
00:45:20Your reputation?
00:45:23Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:26What do you want, Max?
00:45:28I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:45:32I'd rather not.
00:45:33Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:45:39Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:45:41Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:45:44I want to destroy you.
00:45:47You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:45:53If by tomorrow I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town,
00:46:00I'll do it for you.
00:46:16You seem extra happy today.
00:46:19I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:46:24Wow, that's awesome, man.
00:46:26I'm so happy for you.
00:46:27Hi, Mr. Lington.
00:46:29Hi, Kurt.
00:46:30Hi, Anna.
00:46:31Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:35Kurt?
00:46:36Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:46:42Hi, Ariel.
00:46:43You all right?
00:46:45Yeah, I'm all right.
00:46:47Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:46:52While we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability,
00:46:57I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:00Where?
00:47:01I was thinking your house.
00:47:08Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:13Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:19And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:22Yeah, that makes sense.
00:47:24Okay, let's do it.
00:47:27Great.
00:47:27I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:32She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:47:35What do you know about Ariel?
00:47:39What do you want to know?
00:47:53Here you go, Mom.
00:47:56I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:47:58I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:00That's okay.
00:48:01We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:02Um, sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:08Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:10People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:48:17I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:20What?
00:48:21What's he like?
00:48:22It's complicated.
00:48:25Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:48:28Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:48:35Um...
00:48:36Uh...
00:48:37Oh.
00:48:38Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:48:40I just need some rest.
00:48:47Um...
00:49:02And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:49:06I am dreading giving this speech.
00:49:09I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:12I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:49:16I promise.
00:49:17You're going to be amazing.
00:49:20Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:49:24This charity ball idea was genius.
00:49:27I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:29I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:35Well, I should get going.
00:49:37Wait, um...
00:49:39I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:49:41Make sure the dress fits.
00:49:44I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:49:47Alright.
00:49:48Good night.
00:50:01Hello, darling.
00:50:03I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:06It's perfect.
00:50:07I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:10I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:13Good night.
00:50:34Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:50:37Thanks, Kurt.
00:50:39You're looking sharp.
00:50:40Oh, yeah.
00:50:41Well, got to dress to impress, you know?
00:50:44Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:50:47Nah.
00:50:49Listen, random.
00:50:51Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:50:54I don't think so.
00:50:57Do you like her?
00:50:59No.
00:50:59No, no, no, no.
00:51:01No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:51:06Yeah.
00:51:08We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:12Oh!
00:51:14You're still here.
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:16Uh, listen.
00:51:17Listen, if someone were to ask Hannah to dance, what do you think the chances are that she
00:51:25would say yes?
00:51:28Probably good.
00:51:30Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:32No.
00:51:32No.
00:51:33No, no, no, no, no.
00:51:34No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:51:40That one just sprung to mind.
00:51:42Mm-hmm.
00:51:43Okay.
00:51:45Yeah.
00:51:47Um, well, I'm, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:51:55So, I'm going to do that right now.
00:51:59I will see you later.
00:52:00All right.
00:52:01See ya.
00:52:03And you must be Ariel.
00:52:09Yes, hi.
00:52:12Hmm.
00:52:12You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:16He has?
00:52:17Oh, yes, yes.
00:52:18In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:23I suppose so.
00:52:25Wonderful.
00:52:27Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:52:33Wow, that's such an honor.
00:52:35I heard he was a great man.
00:52:37He was a great man.
00:52:40Martina.
00:52:42Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:52:45Yes, briefly.
00:52:47She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:52:50Yes, yes, she has.
00:52:51In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:52:58Why wait?
00:52:59She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:02Really?
00:53:02I think so.
00:53:04Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:06Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:08Amazing.
00:53:10Well, I can't wait.
00:53:16Me either.
00:53:20Oh, it's insane.
00:53:22Oh my God.
00:53:23Oh my God.
00:53:55ARIEL!
00:53:57Blaine!
00:53:58There 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.
00:54:06About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:10Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:13In fact...
00:54:14What?
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.
00:54:39Then we're back to finding the drive.
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.
00:54:57Yeah, 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, no game. My name is... who should I be?
00:55:17Valentina...
00:55:17Just be yourself.
00:55:19I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:23You can...
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.
00:55:32Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:35Okay, 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.
00:55:50Aw!
00:55:51Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:55:57Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:56:21Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:22Ah, Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:25Look at this place. I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:31I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:32Of 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.
00:57:00Uh, 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? In the study or...?
00:57:18Upstairs. Hidden 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.
00:58:01Well, I'm sorry.
00:58:02I'm sorry.
00:58:06I'm sorry.
00:58:08I'm sorry.
00:58:09I'm sorry.
00:58:09But I'm sorry.
00:58:10I'm sorry.
00:58:11You're not sure.
00:58:14Thanks for the love of my life.
00:58:15You're not sure.
00:58:17Just looking for the love.
00:58:17I'm sorry.
00:58:17I am, darling. I am lost. I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:58:26Grandfather, this is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:58:32Oh, yes, yes, from the front page of the Times. Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:58:38Hope 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.
00:59:04Right. Good thing.
00:59:07Shall we return to the party?
00:59:09Yes, we shall. Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:14You too, sir.
00:59:35You seem quiet. Is everything all right?
00:59:38Everything's fine, darling.
00:59:41Hey, Valentina, I have a girl question for you.
00:59:48Oh, my God, for the love of God.
00:59:51You clearly have a crush on Hannah. Just 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? That would be great.
01:00:11Dude.
01:00:15Hannah, I 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.
01:00:31Oh, 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. It'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.
01:00:56All right.
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.
01:01:19It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
01:01:27Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:01:30Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:01:57Thank you for having my back.
01:02:02Hi, Anna.
01:02:04Oh, hi.
01:02:06You haven't 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 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.
01:03:13What 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 hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:40I'll give you hints if you're to look for it you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the
01:04:46world
01:04:49he wasn't talking about the painting
01:04:54he was talking about me
01:05:10you were talking about the painting
01:05:16you were talking about the painting
01:05:18I'm not a dream
01:05:21but I'm not a dream
01:05:23but I'm not a dream
01:05:48I 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?
01:06:51I 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.
01:07:19He'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.
01:07:38Ha ha ha.
01:07:59Balancina.
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?
01:08:09Certainly.
01:08:13Well, well.
01:08:15Well.
01:08:16Well.
01:08:18Look 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.
01:08:32Anyway.
01:08:35I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:08:40You need to leave.
01:08:41Actually, I don't think I do.
01:08:43Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:08:46She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:08:48No.
01:08:49No, no.
01:08:50There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:08:53What?
01:08:54If 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?
01:09:09Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:09:14But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:09:18Oh, God.
01:09:29Ariel?
01:09:40This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:09:43That's right.
01:09:44This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:09:48But you're just a liar.
01:09:51And worse, she's poor.
01:09:55Why?
01:09:56Yes, Ariel.
01:09:58But why?
01:10:00I'm so sorry.
01:10:01Ariel.
01:10:02Ariel, 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.
01:10:24You're poor?
01:10:28Regina!
01:10:31Whew.
01:10:33You're my hero.
01:10:35Thanks.
01:10:35Sometimes I gotta just, gotta tell him, you know.
01:10:42Ariel!
01:10:51What are you smiling about?
01:10:54I mean, come on.
01:10:55This proves it, right?
01:10:57He'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,
01:11:08because you 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.
01:11:34I don't want to hear it.
01:11:35I do not want to hear it.
01:11:37You lied to me.
01:11:38Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:11:40That is fair.
01:12:09That 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.
01:12:22But, uh, these 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, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for it to gain back the
01:12:45public's trust.
01:12:47You can't be serious.
01:12:49Huh?
01:12:54Something better happen soon, or I guess much worse.
01:12:59Did she want anything from you?
01:13:02I don't know, Martina.
01:13:04Nothing valuable?
01:13:05Martina, I said I don't...
01:13:29No!
01:13:31No!
01:13:31No!
01:13:31No!
01:13:32No!
01:13:33No!
