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.
00:01:12It'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.
00:01:59You're so...
00:02:01Rich?
00:02:02Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes.
00:02:07Sorry, what was her name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:12And 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.
00:03:09And you live in the city?
00:03:12The city.
00:03:15The hills.
00:03:16My yacht.
00:03:19My private island.
00:03:21I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You'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 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, 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.
00:05:05Oh, 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?
00:05:44Looking for something?
00:05:47Oh, um...
00:05:50Ah.
00:05:52I should have known that was your style.
00:05:55Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:58Ugh.
00:05:58I 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.
00:07:15Oh, 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, and 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?
00:07:49You 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, 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.
00:08:24Grandfather, listen 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, 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.
00:08:43No, but Blaine, Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:47Whatever.
00:08:48Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:51I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah.
00:08:59Thanks.
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:11To perfection.
00:09:13She already has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:16It won't be long until he slips up,
00:09:18and 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 would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:55I'm fine.
00:09:58Ariel.
00:09:59How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge.
00:10:09There you go.
00:10:11Thanks.
00:10:22Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:10:24Is that where you're 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?
00:10:43Oh, 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,
00:11:16but 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.
00:11:26Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:29Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:37All 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.
00:12:04This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:08When do I start?
00:12:09Perfect.
00:12:11First thing I need help with, 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.
00:12:39New number, huh?
00:12:44Hello?
00:12:45Hello, 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
00:12:58to 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.
00:13:29Hmm.
00:13:34Oh.
00:13:36The doctor called?
00:13:37He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:39Oh, hush, hush, hush.
00:13:40Hush.
00:13:41None of that doc, 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.
00:14:29Oh, where am I?
00:14:32Oh, where am I?
00:14:42Cool?
00:14:42No, not at all.
00:14:44This place is special.
00:14:46Follow me.
00:14:48Whoa.
00:14:50Whoa.
00:14:59How are you, Maura?
00:15:00We're almost there.
00:15:01Come on.
00:15:17Wow.
00:15:20Wow.
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 family died?
00:15:41Yeah.
00:15:43I've been thrown into the CEO position, and I'm a bit in over my head.
00:15:49So I never really get a chance to myself, except when I come here.
00:15:56I'm so sorry.
00:16:03My mom is sick.
00:16:08She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:14So I know it feels to...
00:16:16Want to get away?
00:16:18Yeah.
00:16:21I'm used to getting everything.
00:16:23But this is one thing that 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, we'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 that adventurous?
00:17:20No, I suppose not.
00:17:24I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:29I feel like...
00:17:31But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:35I'd love to.
00:17:41Well, well, well, well.
00:17:44Martina, what are you doing here?
00:17:46Hmph.
00:17:47I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:17:50Had to see it for myself.
00:17:53Well, that blind date went so well the other night, it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right.
00:17:58Is that so?
00:18:00Blaine'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, mysterious, confident, hardworking.
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.
00:18:19Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:23Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:24Likewise.
00:18:25Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:29Don't you worry.
00:18:30I got this.
00:18:32Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati, I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new
00:18:35AI tech that we need.
00:18:37I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati, and don't you worry.
00:18:40I've got the codes right here on this drive, and I'm keeping it safe.
00:18:58Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:00I have wasted enough time.
00:19:04Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:06Get it.
00:19:16All right, where's that drive?
00:19:23Are you kidding?
00:19:25There's nothing in here.
00:19:39They're coming in.
00:19:40Crap.
00:19:41How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:19:45You don't twist my arm.
00:19:47You don't twist my arm.
00:19:49No, no, no.
00:19:51No, no, no.
00:19:57Oh, yeah.
00:20:02Hey, Sarah.
00:20:03Cheers.
00:20:03Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:09Right.
00:20:09Right.
00:20:09Right.
00:20:10After that.
00:20:11Yeah.
00:20:20Whew.
00:20:20That was close.
00:20:27Hey, girlfriend.
00:20:28Can I ask you your advice on something?
00:20:30Sure.
00:20:31What's going on?
00:20:32So I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:35Aren't we all?
00:20:36So she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the
00:20:41whole
00:20:41workplace relationship thing.
00:20:42How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:20:44Wait.
00:20:45I don't like Blaine.
00:20:46But he deserves to know though, right?
00:20:48You're going to tell him?
00:20:49I mean, I don't know, because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me, and
00:20:53then it's so totally awkward, and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:20:58Wait.
00:20:58Do you like Kurt?
00:21:00I've got to go.
00:21:02Wait.
00:21:02Ring, ring.
00:21:03Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:06Ring, ring.
00:21:07Ring, ring.
00:21:10Ring, 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, yeah.
00:21:36First girlfriend, first gift.
00:21:38Checks out.
00:21:39So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:21:55Oh, my God, I'm going to be wearing that?
00:21:58Sorry.
00:22:00Your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:22:02Yeah.
00:22:03It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:05Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:08Do you think you should like it?
00:22:10Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:13What are her tastes?
00:22:16Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:21The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:27I see.
00:22:30So, keep 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, I'm written for this guy.
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:47I see.
00:22:47Do you have anything more modest?
00:22:52Hmm.
00:22:53Modest?
00:22:54Yeah.
00:22:55That seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:22:59With the rich folk, at least.
00:23:02You know, now that you say it, I 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, darling.
00:23:31She'll have a friend's 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?
00:23:40Yes.
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.
00:23:49Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:23:51But until then, we're in this together.
00:23:53You want to make the money for your mother?
00:23:54Yes.
00:23:55Yeah.
00:23:57Excellent.
00:23:59Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:01Make him even more vulnerable and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:06And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:10Um...
00:24:10Be nice?
00:24:15Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:24:19No.
00:24:20A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:24:26Drinking with him.
00:24:28And going to bed with him.
00:24:31Right.
00:24:33I...
00:24:34I can...
00:24:34I 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, have fun.
00:24:53Alright.
00:24:56Valentina.
00:24:59How are you?
00:25:00Wonderful, love.
00:25:02I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:04Is that so?
00:25:05Indeed.
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.
00:25:15I simply must know everything about you.
00:25:18Well, what would you like to know?
00:25:21Everything.
00:25:22Well, I don't know about everything.
00:25:25It might take some time for me to open up.
00:25:27Well, maybe after a few drinks.
00:25:31Only if you can keep up.
00:25:32See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:37Oh no.
00:25:39Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:00You know, my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is
00:26:07because I forget stuff and...
00:26:11Are you forgetful?
00:26:13I mean, yeah.
00:26:15Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:19Really?
00:26:20Yeah.
00:26:21It cost me $10,000 just to get them re-keyed.
00:26:26Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:33So maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy.
00:26:37Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:26:41I'll tell you.
00:26:42But first...
00:26:44Boop!
00:26:48I'm gonna hit the men's room.
00:26:54This is it.
00:26:55All I need to do is ask him where the code is and 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 don't know this...
00:27:11Ariel.
00:27:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:14You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:17But what are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:20You're poor.
00:27:22Fine.
00:27:23Please just leave, Max.
00:27:25It's Maximilian now.
00:27:27Because I'm Max and 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.
00:27:36You look...
00:27:38Oh, what'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, but 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, I'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, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:06This isn't happening.
00:28:07Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:18Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:19Yes, he does.
00:28:21A situationship at best.
00:28:23Let go, Max.
00:28:25Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:28Get off of it.
00:28:31Blaine Ellington?
00:28:32Max Fletcher.
00:28:33Maximilian?
00:28:35What are you doing with that peasant?
00:28:37That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:28:39Blaine Ellington getting my sloppy seconds.
00:28:57This isn't over.
00:29:01Come on, Regina.
00:29:06Just stay away from my man, skink.
00:29:10He's actually trying to.
00:29:13Are 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 does a good job.
00:29:33Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:29:39What, are you a child?
00:29:41I'm not a child, but he started it.
00:29:43Well, I don't care who started it.
00:29:46Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:29:51I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:29:55No, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:29:58The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:02Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:04Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:08Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:14What would your father think?
00:30:33And the easy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:30:36What is that?
00:30:37Some family motto I'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.
00:30:48Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:30:50Or does page one of the paper say 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.
00:31:13I'm trying to.
00:31:14Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:17How can you share more?
00:31:19Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:22I will.
00:31:24I'm gonna get close to this woman.
00:31:26You'll see.
00:31:27Hmm.
00:31:28And you will be like two lovely berries molded 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.
00:31:53How are you?
00:31:54I am annoyed.
00:31:55Time is running out, understand?
00:31:57Mm-hmm.
00:31:58We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:32:00But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:04Wait.
00:32:06Oh my God, do 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...
00:32:18I am fine.
00:32:20Thanks for asking.
00:32:32Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:35It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:32:37Oh, right.
00:32:38Hey, 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.
00:32:47Aaron?
00:32:48Can you come in here?
00:32:49I'll be right there.
00:32:51Good 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 in order.
00:33:43Okay.
00:33:51This is nice.
00:33:54Yeah.
00:33:56This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:34:01Mm-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, I 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, why?
00:34:29Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:34Oh, my.
00:34:35Oh, my.
00:34:35That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:34:37Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:34:40I can imagine.
00:34:42Yeah, I just...
00:34:43I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:34:49You should just talk to her.
00:34:50And be honest.
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:52Uh, I'm gonna call her.
00:34:55What?
00:34:58Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:00Uh, you want me in the room?
00:35:03Yeah.
00:35:04Maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:08Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:12Uh, I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:14Oh, gosh, she makes me so nervous.
00:35:17I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:20Shit, shit, shit.
00:35:21Oh.
00:35:23Uh-oh.
00:35:25Think, Ariel, think.
00:35:27Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:29Bathroom!
00:35:36Hello, darling.
00:35:38Hey, Valentina.
00:35:41How are you?
00:35:43Thriving, my dear.
00:35:44How are you feeling?
00:35:46A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:35:49You should have been with me in 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, I was worried.
00:36:07No need, darling.
00:36:09I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:12I wanted to know if I get to see you again.
00:36:16You will.
00:36:18Very soon.
00:36:25Uh, sorry.
00:36:28Can I help you?
00:36:29I couldn't hear you.
00:36:31It kind of sounded like...
00:36:32Uh, sorry.
00:36:34Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:36:38Must be going.
00:36:39Okay, uh, sure.
00:36:41See you.
00:36:42Ta-ta!
00:36:50Community theater.
00:36:51Hmm.
00:36:52Character.
00:36:53I'm rehearsing.
00:36:56We're a mystery.
00:36:59I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:02I'm not in the theater.
00:37:05That's fair.
00:37:21Mom, 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, watched some soaps.
00:37:38Um, what 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?
00:37:49Hello, darling.
00:37:58Flora, what are you doing here?
00:38:01I was going to call you about a few work questions,
00:38:04but I was, uh, in 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, you two don't mind me.
00:38:20Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:22Then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:35What are you doing here?
00:38:36Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:38:39I, um, I got close to finding out
00:38:42where he hit the drive, but...
00:38:45But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:38:47I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:38:49Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:38:54You're 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.
00:39:07Deeply sorry, darling.
00:39:10Urgent business must be taking off.
00:39:11Oh, um, okay, well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:15You too, darling.
00:39:16Mwah.
00:39:21Tick tock.
00:39:33All right, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:39:38Any ideas?
00:39:41Inner rehab.
00:39:42Too tacky.
00:39:44Go volunteer in a third world country?
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, that'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, what charity would it be for?
00:40:28How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:31I'd love that.
00:40:32Let's get it rolling.
00:40:34I'll start right away.
00:40:36Ariel,
00:40:37you've become an integral part of our company,
00:40:40and 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,
00:40:47Kurt,
00:40:48my girlfriend, Valentina,
00:40:49and you.
00:40:50Good job, Ariel.
00:40:57Let's see how it looks.
00:40:59Come 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?
00:41:19Well, 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 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,
00:42:00and I just want it to go well.
00:42:03But 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.
00:42:28So Blaine's going to tell me
00:42:30the super special secret?
00:42:34Mm-hmm.
00:42:37Where is it?
00:42:39It's here.
00:42:40In the mansion.
00:42:44It's here.
00:42:59Where in the mansion?
00:43:02It's...
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:11Now?
00:43:15Okay.
00:43:16I'll be there.
00:43:23Where are you going, darling?
00:43:26They need me to be on this call with China,
00:43:28so 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.

00:43:46I should start sharing more with you.
00:43:48I should start sharing more with you.

00:54:02Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:05No, I don't think so.
00:54:06About your height, flowy hair,
00:54:09no glasses?
00:54:10Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:13In fact...

00:54:19I better say hi to those guests,
00:54:21but if you could find her for me,
00:54:23that 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
00:54:37so he can deliver his speech.
00:54:39Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:54:42Okay.
00:54:44You can do this.
00:54:47Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:54:51Uh,
00:54:52you must be mistaken, love.
00:54:53I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:54:58Yeah, okay.
00:54:59Ariel.
00:55:01No, seriously.
00:55:03My name is Valentina Kingsley,
00:55:04and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:07Oh, I get it.
00:55:08It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:12No, no, no.
00:55:13No game.
00:55:14My name is...
00:55:15Who 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...
00:55:27I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:30Really?
00:55:31Mm-hmm.
00:55:32Okay, well, Hannah,
00:55:33it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:36Okay.
00:55:36Can I ask why?
00:55:38Uh, well, it's really complicated.
00:55:41Um, but you have to promise me
00:55:43you 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.
00:55:58I'm gonna need it.
00:56:21Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:22Ah, Valentina.
00:56:24I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:25Look at this place.
00:56:27I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this
00:56:29since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:31I'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
00:56:46when I give my speech.
00:56:53Of course.
00:56:55Okay, perfect.
00:56:57Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:56:59I must go speak with her.
00:57:00Uh, Valentina.
00:57:02I was thinking
00:57:03maybe tonight
00:57:05I could show you
00:57:06the AI code.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:10I would love to see
00:57:11what 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.
00:57:23Ah, I see.
00:57:25You actually inspired
00:57:26my security team
00:57:28to 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,
00:57:37you'd be staring at
00:57:38the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:57:41I'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,
00:58:23but this one is big.
00:58:26Grandfather?
00:58:27Yes?
00:58:27This is Valentina Kingsley,
00:58:29Blaine'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.
00:58:38Hope it was all good things.
00:58:39Well, I haven't seen him smile
00:58:43quite as much as he does now
00:58:44since his father passed.
00:58:47And I trust that Blaine
00:58:48is treating you
00:58:51respectfully, like a lady.
00:58:54He is.
00:58:55Well, it was a good thing
00:58:56that we were up here to find you.
00:58:58If it had been during Blaine's speech,
00:59:00no one would know you're here.
00:59:03Right.
00:59:05Good thing.
00:59:07Shall we return to the party?
00:59:09Yes, we shall.
00:59:11Very nice meeting you,
00:59:12Miss 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.
00:59:48Oh, 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.
00:59:55You 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.
01:00:03In 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, I need a favor.
01:00:17Anything.
01:00:18When Blaine is giving his speech,
01:00:19I'm going to step away.
01:00:21If anyone asks,
01:00:22I'm not feeling well.
01:00:23And Ariel
01:00:24is going to help Valentina
01:00:26get some medicine.
01:00:28Got it.
01:00:30Oh,
01:00:32and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:00:33Really?
01:00:35Sorry.
