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.
00:00:42Be 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.
00:01:12I don't think we're even owners or the sooner I've ever had a job.
00:01:17I think I can turn this to you.
00:01:18I don't know.
00:01:18I want to start to realize much of a whole other.
00:01:19I don't know why it's not normal.
00:01:19Well, maybe you may not.
00:01:21I'm not going to do this at all.
00:01:24I don't know.
00:01:28I don't know.
00:01:29I don't know.
00:01:30I don't know.
00:01:33I don't know.
00:01:41Are 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.
00:01:59You're so...
00:02:00Rich?
00:02:02Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes.
00:02:06Sorry, what was your 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.
00:02:34It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:37You want two?
00:02:39Actually, 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.
00:03:01In 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?
00:03:11The city.
00:03:13The hills.
00:03:15You live in the city.
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.
00:03:29Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:31I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:37Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:50Kurt?
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:52What's my manager doing here?
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 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.
00:05:03Oh, my.
00:05:14You like what you see?
00:05:17You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:23Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:26Uh, not so fast.
00:05:31Okay, a 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?
00:05:44Looking for something?
00:05:46Oh, um...
00:05:50I should have known that was your style.
00:05:54Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:57Ugh, I 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?
00:06:18Right.
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 add things behind paintings?
00:06:59Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:01Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:05Where 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 getting the utmost important business call,
00:07:26and I must take it.
00:07:27Right now?
00:07:29What?
00:07:30What about me?
00:07:32Valentina!
00:07:36Wait!
00:07:37Untie me!
00:07:43Ew.
00:07:44Really, Blaine?
00:07:46What?
00:07:47You and your models.
00:07:50Last night was not a model.
00:07:53I 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,
00:08:11these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:14It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with
00:08:16and 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.
00:08:30I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:33No, no, no, no.
00:08:34Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:37Right?
00:08:38Yeah, you...
00:08:39You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:41No, but Blaine...
00:08:42Blaine 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.
00:08:55Yeah, yeah, 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.
00:09:13It won't be long until he flips up,
00:09:16and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:21Brilliant.
00:09:22It'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.
00:09:44I'm sorry.
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.
00:09:53Sorry.
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?
00:10:31Should I bring her a 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.
00:10:41Are you going to apply?
00:10:41I'm good where I am.
00:10:43All 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.
00:11:27Blaine, 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.
00:11:53Kurt described.
00:11:55Clean, 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.
00:12:11Oh, 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.
00:12:37New number, huh?
00:12:42Hello?
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.
00:13:16Honey, 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.
00:13:33The doctor called?
00:13:35He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:36Oh, hush, hush, hush, hush.
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.
00:14:08Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:10I'll make it to go.
00:14:26Oh, where am I?
00:14:31Valentina.
00:14:33Blaine.
00:14:35Darling.
00:14:36What 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.
00:14:45Whoa.
00:14:56How many more?
00:14:57We're almost there.
00:14:59Come on.
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.
00:15:31Just you, actually.
00:15:33I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:37Your father died?
00:15:39Yeah.
00:15:40I'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 except 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...
00:16:14want to get away.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:18I'm used to getting everything.
00:16:20But this is one thing that 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!
00:17:05No!
00:17:11What was that?
00:17:13What was that?
00:17:13That was fun.
00:17:14And did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:17No, I suppose not.
00:17:21I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:26I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:17:30I feel the same way.
00:17:32Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:17:34That's right. I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:17:37I can't do this to him.
00:17:42But 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,
00:18:06it 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, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:23She's the whole package.
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, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:40Martina, nice 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, after 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, where'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, no, no.
00:20:14Oh, yeah.
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, girlfriend.
00:20:45Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:47Sure.
00:20:48What's going on?
00:20:48So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:52Aren't we all?
00:20:53So, she has a crush on her boss,
00:20:55and she doesn't know what to do about it
00:20:57because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:20:59How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:02Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:03But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:21:05You're going to tell him?
00:21:06I mean, I don't know,
00:21:08because what if I tell Kurt I like him,
00:21:10and 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, you like Kurt?
00:21:17I've got to go.
00:21:19Wait, ring, ring.
00:21:20Oh, I'm getting a good call.
00:21:23Ring, ring.
00:21:24Ring, ring.
00:21:26Ring, ring.
00:21:27Ring, ring.
00:21:29Ariel.
00:21:31Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:32I need your personal help.
00:21:34Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:46I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:48Wow, really?
00:21:50Um, I mean, yeah.
00:21:53First girlfriend, first gift.
00:21:54Checks out.
00:21:56So, I need your help to figure out
00:21:58which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:12Oh, my God, I'm going to be wearing that?
00:22:15Sorry?
00:22:16Uh, your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:22Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:24Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:27Um, well, what's her girlfriend like?
00:22:30What are her tastes?
00:22:33Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:38The whole world slows down
00:22:40whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:44I see.
00:22:47So, keep that in mind.
00:22:49Option two...
00:22:55And that's even more revealing
00:22:56than 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 seems to be the style
00:23:14I've been seeing these days.
00:23:16With the rich folk, at least.
00:23:19You know, now that you say it,
00:23:21I 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, darling.
00:23:47She'll have a friend 75 with Konya.
00:23:50Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:52Making sure you look the part.
00:23:54You want to make the money
00:23:55for your dear mother, don't you?
00:23:57Yes, more than anything.
00:23:59Then you need to keep your eyes
00:24:00on the prize.
00:24:02We need to get our hands
00:24:03on 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.
00:24:14Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:17Make him even more vulnerable
00:24:19and get him to tell me
00:24:21where the code is.
00:24:22And how do you suppose
00:24:23you'll do that?
00:24:25Um,
00:24:27be nice?
00:24:30Ha!
00:24:32Your ignorance is both cute
00:24:34and annoying.
00:24:35No.
00:24:37A man like Blaine Ellington
00:24:39is going to become vulnerable
00:24:41from two things.
00:24:43Drinking with him
00:24:45and going to bed with him.
00:24:47Right.
00:24:49I-I can-I can do that.
00:24:51I hope so.
00:24:53Because he's coming this way.
00:24:56Get the code soon, honey.
00:24:59For your mother.
00:25:01Okay.
00:25:03Oh!
00:25:05And, darling,
00:25:07have fun.
00:25:10All right.
00:25:12Valentina.
00:25:15How are you?
00:25:17Wonderful, love.
00:25:18I've been looking forward
00:25:19to this all day.
00:25:20Is that so?
00:25:22Indeed.
00:25:23I was so distracted.
00:25:25It affected my croquet score.
00:25:27Oh, no.
00:25:29Distracted over little old me.
00:25:30Yes.
00:25:31I simply must
00:25:32know 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
00:25:42for me to open up.
00:25:44Well,
00:25:45maybe after a few drinks.
00:25:47Only if you can keep up.
00:25:49See,
00:25:50I don't really start talking
00:25:51until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:53Oh, no.
00:25:55Well,
00:25:56here goes nothing.
00:26:01Oh, man.
00:26:04Oh.
00:26:05Oh.
00:26:06Great.
00:26:06That's really good.
00:26:07Let's start.
00:26:08That's not in that.
00:26:10That's funny.
00:26:11Let's start.
00:26:16You know,
00:26:17my sister
00:26:18is implying today
00:26:19that I should
00:26:20tell someone
00:26:21where my new AI code is
00:26:23because I forget stuff.
00:26:24and
00:26:26Are you forgetful?
00:26:29I mean,
00:26:30yeah.
00:26:32Can you actually believe
00:26:33I lost the keys
00:26:34to a Maserati?
00:26:36Really?
00:26:36Yeah.
00:26:38It cost me
00:26:38$10,000
00:26:40just to get them re-keyed.
00:26:42Which is why
00:26:43I should probably tell someone
00:26:46in case
00:26:47I do forget.
00:26:49So,
00:26:50maybe I should
00:26:50tell you
00:26:51because you're so awesome
00:26:52and trustworthy.
00:26:54Well,
00:26:54if you'd like,
00:26:56go ahead.
00:26:57I'll tell you.
00:26:58But first,
00:27:04I'm going to hit
00:27:04the men's room.
00:27:10This is it.
00:27:11All I need to do
00:27:12is ask him
00:27:13where the code is
00:27:13and 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
00:27:24what you're talking about,
00:27:25darling.
00:27:25I don't know this
00:27:28Ariel.
00:27:28No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:30You
00:27:30are definitely Ariel.
00:27:33But what are you doing
00:27:35in a place like this?
00:27:36You're poor.
00:27:38Fine.
00:27:39Please,
00:27:40just leave, Max.
00:27:41It's Maximilian now.
00:27:43Because I'm Max
00:27:44and 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
00:27:53almost that word.
00:27:56Rich.
00:27:57Please.
00:27:57I don't know
00:27:58if you've been
00:27:59keeping up
00:27:59with my life lately,
00:28:00but I've become
00:28:01very rich.
00:28:03Yes.
00:28:04You've sent me
00:28:0450 messages about it.
00:28:06I had to block
00:28:06your number.
00:28:07Oh.
00:28:08Yeah, that's right.
00:28:09Please,
00:28:10I'll do whatever
00:28:10you want, okay?
00:28:11I just...
00:28:13How about a kiss
00:28:14for old time's sake?
00:28:16You know, Ariel,
00:28:18sometimes I reminisce
00:28:19on our poor days together.
00:28:21This isn't happening.
00:28:22Do you not remember
00:28:24when we'd go
00:28:25and get Taco Tuesday
00:28:26at that Mexican restaurant
00:28:28and eat unlimited
00:28:29discount tacos?
00:28:31I'm very...
00:28:32Ugh.
00:28:33Don't you have
00:28:34a girlfriend?
00:28:35Yes, he does.
00:28:36A situationship at best.
00:28:38Ugh.
00:28:39Let go, Max.
00:28:40Nobody walks away
00:28:41from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:43Get off!
00:28:46Blaine Ellington?
00:28:48Max Fletcher.
00:28:49Maximilian?
00:28:50What are you doing
00:28:51with that peasant?
00:28:53That's my girlfriend
00:28:54you're talking about.
00:28:55Blaine Ellington
00:28:56getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:12This isn't over.
00:29:17Come on, Regina.
00:29:22Just stay away
00:29:23from my man, skink.
00:29:25I was 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
00:29:47does a good job.
00:29:49Getting into a physical
00:29:50altercation
00:29:52in a bar?
00:29:54What are you, a child?
00:29:56I'm not a child.
00:29:58But he started it.
00:29:59Well, I don't care
00:30:00who started it.
00:30:01Ellington is a company
00:30:03based in family values.
00:30:06I was out with my girlfriend
00:30:08trying to uphold
00:30:09those family values.
00:30:10No, no, no, don't, don't, don't,
00:30:11don't, don't, don't play
00:30:12the girlfriend card, okay?
00:30:13The onus is you
00:30:14on this, pal.
00:30:16You know, maybe, maybe,
00:30:18maybe your sister was right.
00:30:20Maybe you're too much
00:30:20of a risk,
00:30:21even though you say
00:30:22you've settled down.
00:30:24Either way,
00:30:25I just hope all this
00:30:26boils over next time
00:30:27we talk.
00:30:30What would your father think?
00:30:48Unleasy lies the head
00:30:49that wears a crown.
00:30:51What is that?
00:30:52Some family motto
00:30:53I'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?
00:31:05What does page one
00:31:07of the paper say
00:31:07something different?
00:31:08She's not a bimbo.
00:31:11Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:14Treat her like
00:31:15dad treated mom.
00:31:20How do you mean?
00:31:22Bring her completely
00:31:24into your life.
00:31:25Let her know
00:31:26everything about you.
00:31:28I'm trying to.
00:31:29Just last night,
00:31:30we were sharing
00:31:31everything with each other.
00:31:32Okay, share more.
00:31:34Behind most men's success
00:31:35is a strong woman.
00:31:38I will.
00:31:38Well, I'm gonna get close
00:31:40to this woman.
00:31:41You'll see.
00:31:42Hmm.
00:31:43And you will be like
00:31:45two lovely berries
00:31:46molded 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.
00:32:08How are you?
00:32:09I am annoyed.
00:32:10Time is running out,
00:32:11understand?
00:32:12Mm-hmm.
00:32:13We chose you
00:32:14because we thought
00:32:14you could get the job done.
00:32:15But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:19Wait.
00:32:21Oh my God,
00:32:22do you have feelings for him?
00:32:23What?
00:32:24No.
00:32:25I hope not.
00:32:26Because you have
00:32:27four 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.
00:32:52Oh, right!
00:32:53Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:32:54Better.
00:32:56And worse.
00:32:58That sounds super complicated.
00:33:00You have no idea.
00:33:02Aaron?
00:33:03Can you come in here?
00:33:04I'll be right there.
00:33:05Good thing you've got work
00:33:06to distract you.
00:33:08Good thing.
00:33:15Oh, you have the file
00:33:17for the new China branch?
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:27Long night.
00:33:30You know what?
00:33:33Let's forget about the file.
00:33:43Let's just close our eyes
00:33:46for, um,
00:33:47ten minutes.
00:33:56That's an order.
00:33:58Okay.
00:34:06This is nice.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:11This should be, like,
00:34:13an everyday thing.
00:34:15Mm-hmm.
00:34:18Good morning!
00:34:20Another beautiful day
00:34:21in Ellington.
00:34:21Let's get it!
00:34:22Woo!
00:34:23Oh, Hannah!
00:34:28Well,
00:34:29I guess that's over.
00:34:34Um...
00:34:34Well,
00:34:35everything should be there.
00:34:38I can't even concentrate
00:34:40on work right now.
00:34:42Oh?
00:34:42Why?
00:34:43Well,
00:34:44I don't know if you heard,
00:34:46but...
00:34:48Oh, my.
00:34:50That's, uh,
00:34:50quite a scene.
00:34:51Well,
00:34:52I'm glad you weren't there.
00:34:54I can imagine.
00:34:56Yeah,
00:34:57I just...
00:34:57I hope
00:34:58my girlfriend doesn't think
00:35:00that that's
00:35:00my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:03You should just talk to her.
00:35:05And be honest.
00:35:06Yeah.
00:35:07I'm gonna call her.
00:35:09What?
00:35:12Yeah,
00:35:13can you be in the room
00:35:14when I do it?
00:35:15Uh,
00:35:15you want me in the room?
00:35:17Yeah.
00:35:18Maybe you could,
00:35:19you know,
00:35:19listen to her voice
00:35:20and read her.
00:35:22Tell me if she sounds
00:35:23upset.
00:35:25Um,
00:35:26I don't know
00:35:27if I feel comfortable.
00:35:29Oh, God,
00:35:29she 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,
00:35:42I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:43Bathroom!
00:35:51Hello, darling.
00:35:52Hey,
00:35:53Valentina.
00:35:55How are you?
00:35:57Thriving, my dear.
00:35:58How are you feeling?
00:36:00A little banged up,
00:36:02but
00:36:02I've been worse.
00:36:03You should have been with me
00:36:05in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:06I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:14Well, I'm glad to hear
00:36:15you're feeling all right.
00:36:17Uh,
00:36:18I was worried.
00:36:21No need, darling.
00:36:23I'm,
00:36:23I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:26Uh,
00:36:27I wanted to know if, uh,
00:36:30I get to see you again.
00:36:31You will.
00:36:32Very soon.
00:36:39Uh,
00:36:41sorry.
00:36:42Can I help you?
00:36:43I,
00:36:44I couldn't hear you.
00:36:45It,
00:36:45it kind of sounded like...
00:36:46Uh,
00:36:47sorry,
00:36:48Eduardo is calling me
00:36:49for my
00:36:50hot,

00:36:56See you.

00:37:05Hmm.
00:37:06Character.
00:37:07I'm rehearsing.
00:37:10We're a mystery.
00:37:13I'll, uh,
00:37:14send you the dates.
00:37:16I'm not in the theater.
00:37:19That's fair.
00:37:22I'm sorry.
00:37:23I'm sorry.
00:37:35Mom,
00:37:36I'm home.
00:37:36Hi,
00:37:37honey.
00:37:37How was your day?
00:37:41It was
00:37:42not boring.
00:37:44How was yours?
00:37:46It was wonderful.
00:37:48I did laundry,
00:37:49watched some soaps.
00:37:52Um,
00:37:53what are you cooking?
00:37:54I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:37:56Well,
00:37:56you weren't home yet,
00:37:57and I wanted to go ahead and get started
00:37:59so your co-worker could have some too.
00:38:01My co-worker?
00:38:03Hello,
00:38:04darling.
00:38:11Flora,
00:38:13what are you doing here?
00:38:15I was going to call you
00:38:16about a few work questions,
00:38:18but I was,
00:38:18uh,
00:38:19in the neighborhood
00:38:21and thought I'd drop in.
00:38:24Flora mentioned
00:38:25that you got a job promotion.
00:38:26You didn't say anything
00:38:27about a job promotion.
00:38:29I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:33Well,
00:38:33you two don't mind me.
00:38:34Go ahead
00:38:35and have your work talk,
00:38:36then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:48What are you doing here?
00:38:50Checking in
00:38:51to see what progress
00:38:51was made last night.
00:38:53I, um,
00:38:54I got close
00:38:55to finding out
00:38:56where he hit the drive,
00:38:57but I...
00:38:58But close doesn't
00:38:59pay the bills,
00:39:00does it?
00:39:01I'll get you the drive soon,
00:39:03I promise.
00:39:04Well,
00:39:04it sounds like
00:39:05the clock
00:39:05is ticking fast.
00:39:08You're not getting
00:39:09attached.
00:39:10What?
00:39:11No,
00:39:11of course not.
00:39:13Good.
00:39:13I was worried
00:39:14you were developing
00:39:15feelings for the man.
00:39:19Dinner's ready.
00:39:21Deeply sorry,
00:39:22darling.
00:39:23Urgent business.
00:39:24Must be taking off.

00:39:26okay,
00:39:26well,

00:39:29darling.
00:39:30Mwah.

00:39:47All right,
00:39:48I need ways
00:39:49to fix my image
00:39:50after that bar scandal.
00:39:52Any ideas?
00:39:54Inner rehab.
00:39:56Too tacky.
00:39:58Go volunteer
00:39:59in a third world country?
00:40:00Mm,
00:40:01too obvious.
00:40:03Record an apology video
00:40:04for social media
00:40:04and post it there.
00:40:06Too cringe.
00:40:11Adopt an orphan.
00:40:13Now that
00:40:13is something.
00:40:14Ariel,
00:40:15how good are you
00:40:15at raising kids?
00:40:16Um,

00:40:23Yes,
00:40:24that'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?

00:41:55We got interrupted.
00:41:56You were going to tell me
00:41:57something important.
00:42:00What were you going to say?
00:42:03It's not really that necessary.
00:42:06You don't trust me?

00:44:01Mm-hmm.
00:44:15Hmm...
00:44:15Hmm...
00:44:15Hmm...
00:44:15Hmm...

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?
00:45:06Or should I say...
00:45:08Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:09You wouldn't understand.
00:45:11Oh, I understand.
00:45:12You're acting like somebody else
00:45:14to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:17No, I'm not. I...
00:45:19You know, I have the responsibility
00:45:21to tell your little hotshot boyfriend
00:45:23who you really are.
00:45:26It's...
00:45:26only the right thing to do.
00:45:28Please don't. You 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,
00:45:37nobody will want you?
00:45:39What do you want, Max?
00:45:40I just want...
00:45:42a little... an arrangement.
00:45:44I'd rather not.
00:45:47Ariel...
00:45:48You 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.
00:45:59I want to destroy you.
00:46:00You have 24 hours
00:46:02to end this charade
00:46:04on your own.
00:46:05If by tomorrow,
00:46:07I see little Valentina Kingsley
00:46:09running 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,
00:46:33we 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. Lington.
00:46:41Hi, Kurt.
00:46:42Hi, 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.
00:46:59Um, I actually had an idea
00:47:01about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:04While we keep reaching out
00:47:05to all of these extravagant venues
00:47:07for their availability,
00:47:09I was thinking
00:47:10we could host it ourselves.
00:47:12Where?
00:47:14I was thinking your house.
00:47:20Uh, I don't really like
00:47:23having people over at my house.
00:47:25Well, if we hosted ourselves,
00:47:27it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:31And then we could have it
00:47:32as 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,
00:47:46inside and out.
00:47:47What do you know about Ariel?
00:47:51What do you want to know?
00:48:06Here you go, Mom.
00:48:08I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake
00:48:09from the movie.

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