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.
00:00:58So 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.
00:01:27The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new
00:01:29AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for
00:01:29Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the
00:01:29code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you
00:01:30steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the
00:01:30sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI
00:01:31tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's
00:01:34new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code
00:01:41for Ellington's
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?
00:02:03Sexy?
00:02:05Frankly, yes.
00:02:07Sorry, what was her name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:12And you are?
00:02:14Blaine Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:19And this is a successful company?
00:02:21It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:25Waiter?
00:02:26Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:27You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:31Yes, of course.
00:02:32If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:35It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:38You want two?
00:02:40Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:02:43Better bring three.
00:02:45Yes, of course.
00:02:46Right away, sir.
00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:55I invest.
00:02:57In what?
00:02:59In everything.
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:05Businesses.
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.
00:03:21I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You're so impressive.
00:03:27So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30It doesn't surprise me.
00:03:32I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:37Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:47Thank you.
00:03:51Kurt?
00:03:53Kurt?
00:03:53What's my manager doing here?
00:03:57Blaine!
00:04:00My business dinner just ended.
00:04:01The presentation for the China branch.
00:04:03Looking good.
00:04:04Amazing.
00:04:05You'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.
00:04:49Oh, my.
00:04:52Oh, my.
00:05:16You like what you see?
00:05:19You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing 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 to her 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?
00:05:48Oh, 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?
00:06:22Oh, 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.
00:06:44Oh, uh...
00:06:46Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:49It looks exactly like...
00:06:50The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:54It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:56Huh.
00:06:57People actually still hide 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...
00:07:08Luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:11In a super...
00:07:12Super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:15Oh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and...
00:07:20Get this thing started.
00:07:22Oh, uh...
00:07:23Most unfortunate.
00:07:24I'm...
00:07:25I'm getting the utmost important business call.
00:07:28And I must take it.
00:07:29Right now?
00:07:30What?
00:07:31What about me?
00:07:33Valentina!
00:07:37Wait!
00:07:39Untie me!
00:07:44Ew.
00:07:46Really, Blaine?
00:07:47What?
00:07:49You 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 are so boring.
00:08:06But this one...
00:08:07She's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:10I must see her again.
00:08:12Blaine?
00:08:13These dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:16It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:23Grandfather.
00:08:23Hmm?
00:08:24Listen to him.
00:08:25He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:27I am much more qualified.
00:08:31I'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.
00:08:43No, but Blaine.
00:08:44Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:47Whatever.
00:08:49Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:51Blaine, I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:54Whoa.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, 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.
00:09:15It won't be long until he flips up.
00:09:18And I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant.
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.
00:09:36Hmm.
00:09:38Hmm.
00:09:48What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:54Oh.
00:09:55Sorry.
00:09:56I'm fine.
00:09:58Ariel.
00:10:00How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge.
00:10:09There you go.
00:10:11Thanks.
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 your mama at the hospital.
00:10:29Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:31Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:32Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:34She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:36Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:38Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:40Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:42Are you going to fly?
00:10:43I'm good where I am.
00:10:44But all the girls are applying.
00:10:46Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:48You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:50I think this position is yours.
00:11:01He's gorgeous.
00:11:03I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:07Attention, everyone.
00:11:09My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:13I will try my best to live up to my father, but I ask for patience as I adjust to
00:11:19the new role.
00:11:20And since he is adjusting to this new role, I'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.
00:11:38Back to work.
00:11:45You look...
00:11:47exactly like...
00:11:49Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:55Kurt described.
00:11:57Clean, 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.
00:12:10Uh, 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?
00:12:25Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:28Just click the link to connect it, so 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.
00:12:47We 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.
00:13:05Thank you.
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.
00:13:35The doctor called?
00:13:37He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:39Hush, 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.
00:14:04Are you ready?
00:14:07Yeah.
00:14:10Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:12I'll make it to go.
00:14:29Oh, 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 are?
00:15:00We're almost there.
00:15:01Come on.
00:15:18Wow.
00:15:18Look at you.
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.
00:15:43I've been thrown into the CEO position, and I'm a bit in over my head, so I never really
00:15:51get a chance to myself, except when I come here.
00:15:55I'm so sorry.
00:16:03My mom is sick.
00:16:08She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:14Say how it feels, Tip.
00:16:17Want to get away?
00:16:18Yeah.
00:16:21I'm used to getting everything, but 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, who's out here?
00:16:52What's happening?
00:16:55Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:57What?
00:16:57Run.
00:17:06Hey!
00:17:14What was that?
00:17:16That was fun.
00:17:17Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:20No.
00:17:21I suppose not.
00:17:24I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:29I feel like.
00:17:31But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:36I'd love to.
00:17:41Well, well, well.
00:17:44Martina, what are you doing here?
00:17:46Hmph.
00:17:46I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:17:50I had to see it for myself.
00:17:52Hmph.
00:17:53Well, that blind date went so well the other night, it got me thinking maybe grandfather
00:17:57was 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.
00:18:14Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington, is this a bad 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.
00:18:24Well, likewise, glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:29Hmph.
00:18:30Don't you worry.
00:18:30I got this.
00:18:31Hmph.
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, I've got the codes right
00:18:42here on this drive, and I'm keeping it safe.
00:18:58Glad to hear you're doing that, I 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?
00:19:45If you don't twist my arm.
00:19:47If you don't twist my arm.
00:19:50No, no, no!
00:19:57Oh, yeah.
00:20:02Hey, Sarah.
00:20:03Cheers.
00:20:03Do you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:09Right.
00:20:09Right.
00:20:09Right.
00:20:10After then.
00:20:11Yeah.
00:20:20That was close.
00:20:26Hey, girlfriend!
00:20:28Can I ask 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?
00:20:45Wait, I 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.
00:20:51Because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me and then it's so totally
00:20:55awkward and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:20:58Wait, do you like Kurt?
00:21:00I gotta go.
00:21:01What?
00:21:02Ring, ring.
00:21:03Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:05Ring, ring.
00:21:07Ring, ring.
00:21:09Ring, ring.
00:21:10Ring, ring.
00:21:12Ring, ring.
00:21:13Yes, 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?
00:21:33I mean, yeah.
00:21:36First girlfriend, first gift.
00:21:37Checks 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?
00:21:59Uh, your 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 she'll 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.
00:22:28I see.
00:22:30So, keep that in mind.
00:22:33Option 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 rooting for this guy.
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:47I see.
00:22:47Do you have anything more...
00:22:50modest?
00:22:52Hmm.
00:22:53Modest?
00:22:54Yeah.
00:22:55That...
00:22:55seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:22:59Uh, with the rich folk.
00:23:01At least.
00:23:02You know, now 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, darling.
00:23:31She'll have a friend 75 with Konya.
00:23:33Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:35Making sure you look the part.
00:23:37You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:23:40Yes.
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.
00:23:48Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:23:51But until then, we're in this together.
00:23:54Yes?
00:23:56Yeah.
00:23:57Excellent.
00:23:59Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:01Make him even more vulnerable,
00:24:03and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:06And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:10Um...
00:24:11Be 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-I can-I 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.
00:24:51Have fun.
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.
00:25:12Oh no. Distracted 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.
00:25:33See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:36Oh no.
00:25:39Well, here goes nothing.
00:25:44Oh, man.
00:25:46Oh.
00:25:47Oh.
00:25:49That's really bad.
00:25:51Stop it.
00:25:53That's funny.
00:25:55Stop it.
00:26:00You know, my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is because I
00:26:07forget stuff.
00:26:09And...
00:26:11Are you forgetful?
00:26:13I mean, yeah.
00:26:15Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:19What? Really?
00:26:20Yeah.
00:26:21It cost me $10,000 just to get them re-keyed.
00:26:26Which is why...
00:26:28I 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...
00:26:47I'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-I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:27:09I...
00:27:10Don't know this...
00:27:11Ariel.
00:27:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:14You...
00:27:15Are definitely Ariel.
00:27:17But what are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:21You're poor.
00:27:22Fine.
00:27:23Please, just leave, Max.
00:27:25It's Max-a-million now.
00:27:27Cause I'm Max, and I make millions.
00:27:30Whatever.
00:27:31Please.
00:27:32I-I'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,
00:27:44but I've become very rich.
00:27:47Yes.
00:27:48You've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:27:50I had to block your number.
00:27:51Oh.
00:27:52Yeah, that's right.
00:27:53Uh, please.
00:27:54I-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...
00:28:04poor days together.
00:28:05This isn't happening.
00:28:07Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant
00:28:12and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:15I'm very...
00:28:18Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:19Yes, he does.
00:28:20A situationship at best.
00:28:22Ugh.
00:28:23Let go, Max.
00:28:25Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:28Get off!
00:28:30Blaine...
00:28:31Ellington?
00:28:32Max Fletcher.
00:28:33Maximilian?
00:28:34What are you doing with that peasant?
00:28:37That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:28:39Blaine Ellington.
00:28:40Getting my sloppy seconds.
00:28:56This isn't over.
00:29:01Come on, Regina.
00:29:06Just stay away from my man, skink.
00:29:09He'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.
00:29:36In a bar?
00:29:39What?
00:29:40Are you a child?
00:29:41I'm not a child.
00:29:42But 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, don't, don't, don't, don't.
00:29:56Don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:29:58The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:01You know, maybe, maybe, maybe your sister was right.
00:30:04Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:09Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:14What would your father think?
00:30:33Un easy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:30:36What is that?
00:30:37Some family motto 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?
00:30:50What 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.
00:31:28And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:33Shakespeare.
00:31:35Yeah?
00:31:36Ow!
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, 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.
00:32:37Alright!
00:32:38Hey, how's your guide trouble coming?
00:32:39Better.
00:32:41And worse.
00:32:43That sounds super complicated.
00:32:45You have no idea.
00:32:47Can 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.
00:33:00You have the file for the new China branch?
00:33:03Yeah.
00:33:12Long night.
00:33:15You know what?
00:33:18Let's forget about the file.
00:33:29Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:33:41That's an order.
00:33:43Okay.
00:33:51This is nice.
00:33:54Yeah.
00:33:56It should be like, an everyday thing.
00:34:00Mm-hmm.
00:34:04Good morning!
00:34:05Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:07Let's get it!
00:34:08Woo!
00:34:09Oh, Hannah!
00:34:14Well...
00:34:15I guess that's over.
00:34:19Um...
00:34:20Well, everything should be there.
00:34:24I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:27Oh?
00:34:28Why?
00:34:29Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:34Oh, my.
00:34:35That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:34:37Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:34:40I can imagine.
00:34:41Yeah, I just...
00:34:43I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:34:48You should just talk to her.
00:34:50And be honest.
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:53I'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.
00:35:11Uh...
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:12I 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!
00:35:21Uh-oh!
00:35:23Uh-oh!
00:35:25Think, Ariel, think!
00:35:27Uh...
00:35:28I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:29Uh, bathroom!
00:35:36Uh...
00:35:37Hello, darling!
00:35:38Hey!
00:35:39Valentina!
00:35:41How are you?
00:35:43Thriving, my dear!
00:35:44How are you feeling?
00:35:46A little banged up, but...
00:35:48I've been worse.
00:35:49You should've 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...
00:36:04I was worried.
00:36:07No need, darling!
00:36:09I'm...
00:36:09I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:12Uh, I wanted to know if, uh...
00:36:15I get to see you again.
00:36:17You will!
00:36:18Very soon.
00:36:25Uh...
00:36:26Sorry.
00:36:28Can I help you?
00:36:29I-I couldn't hear you.
00:36:31It-it kinda sounded like...
00:36:33Uh...
00:36:33Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my...
00:36:36H-hot stone massage.
00:36:38Must be going.
00:36:40Okay, uh...
00:36:41Sure.
00:36:41See you.
00:36:42Ta-ta!
00:36:49Community theater.
00:36:51Mmm.
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!
00:37:23Hi, honey!
00:37:24How was your day?
00:37:27It was...
00:37:28Not boring.
00:37:30How was yours?
00:37:32It was...
00:37:33Not boring.
00:37:34I did laundry.
00:37:35Watched some soaps.
00:37:38Ahem.
00:37:39What are you cooking?
00:37:40I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:37:42Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have
00:37:46some too.
00:37:47My co-worker?
00:37:50Hello, darling.
00:37:58Flora.
00:37:59What are you doing here?
00:38:01I was going to call you about a few work questions, but I was, uh, in the neighborhood and thought
00:38:08I'd drop in.
00:38:10Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion. You 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. Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:22Dinner will 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 where he hit the drive, but...
00:38:44But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:38:47I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:38:50Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:38:54You are not getting attached.
00:38:56What? No. Of course not.
00:38:59Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:05Dinner's ready.
00:39:07Deeply sorry, darling. Urgent business must be taking off.
00:39:11Oh, um, okay, well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:15You too, darling.
00:39:16Mwah.
00:39:20Tick tock.
00:39:31Tick tock.
00:39:34Alright, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:39:38So, any 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.
00:39:52Too 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.
00:40:13I 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, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:40:43Oh, my gosh.
00:40:44Thank you.
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.
00:41:12Next, 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.
00:41:43You were going to tell me something important.
00:41:47What were you going to say?
00:41:50It'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.
00:42:03But I thought I was special.
00:42:06You are.
00:42:07I just...
00:42:08Well, you know, if 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 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 here?
00:42:51Mm-hmm.
00:42:59Where in the mansion?
00:43:03It's...
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:11Now?
00:43:15Okay.
00:43:16I'll be there.
00:43:20Where are you going, darling?
00:43:26They need me to be on this call with Chyna, so...
00:43:29I 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.
00:43:49Mm-hmm.
00:43:50Mm-hmm.
00:43:50Mm-hmm.
00:43:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:52Mm-hmm.
00:43:53Mm-hmm.
00:43:53Mm-hmm.
00:43:54Mm-hmm.
00:44:18Did you get it?
00:44:21The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:23Excellent, darling.
00:44:25Excellent.
00:44:30Excellent.
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.
00:45:06I...
00:45:07You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hot-shot boyfriend who you really
00:45:12are.
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'll lose your job?
00:45:20Your reputation?
00:45:22Oh, 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, I'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.
00:46:28Hi, Kurt.
00:46:29Hi, 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.
00:46:42You, you all right?
00:46:45Yeah, I'm all right.
00:46:47Um, I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:46:52Well, 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.
00:47:25Let'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?
00:47:47What 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.
00:48:03Sweetie, 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.
00:48:38Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:48:40I just need some rest.
00:49:02And then after your speech, we're gonna dance the night away.
00:49:05Ugh, I am dreading giving this speech.
00:49:08I 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, you're gonna 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.
00:49:36Wait, 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.
00:49:46Alright. Good night.
00:50:01Hello, darling.
00:50:02I 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.
00:50:16Good 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, gotta 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.
00:51:18If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:23what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:27Probably 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.
00:51:45Yep.
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, see ya.
00:52:03And you must be Ariel.
00:52:09Yes, hi.
00:52:12Hmm.
00:52:13You 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
00:52:30if 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 than Ellington,
00:52:56if she keeps it up.
00:52:58Why wait?
00:52:59She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:02Really?
00:53:03I 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.
00:53:20I can't wait.
00:53:24I can't wait.
00:53:43Das war's für heute.
00:54:14In fact...
00:54:14What?
00:54:17Nothing.
00:54:17It'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.
00:54:27Bye.
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.
00:54:44You can do this.
00:54:47Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:54:51Uh, you must be mistaken, love.
00:54:54I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:54:57Yeah, okay.
00:54:59Ariel.
00:55:01No, seriously.
00:55:02My name is Valentina Kingsley and 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.
00:55:12No game.
00:55:14My name is...
00:55:15Who else should I be?
00:55:17Just be yourself.
00:55:19I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:23You can really tell it's me?
00:55:25Yeah, but I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:30Really?
00:55:30Mm-hmm.
00:55:32Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:36Okay.
00:55:36Can I ask why?
00:55:38Well, 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, well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:55:57Yeah, thanks.
00:55:58I'm gonna need it.
00:56:01Yeah.
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 since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:30I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:33Of course.
00:56:34You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:36Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:56:39They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:56:42You make me feel so confident.
00:56:44I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:56:53Of course.
00:56:55Okay, perfect.
00:56:57Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:56:59I must go speak with her.
00:57:01Ah, Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:09Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:13Great.
00:57:14Where would this be taking place?
00:57:16In the study, or?
00:57:18Upstairs, 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?
00:57:33I'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.
00:57:41I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:57:45Good luck, darling.
00:57:47Thank you.
00:57:54What?
00:58:10Excuse me.
00:58:11What are you doing in here?
00:58:15You look lost.
00:58:17I am, darling.
00:58:19I am lost.
00:58:21I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:58:26Grandfather.
00:58:27Yes?
00:58:27This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:58:32Oh, yes, yes.
00:58:34From the front page of the Times.
00:58:36Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:58:38I hope it was all good things.
00:58:40Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:58:47And I trust that Blaine is treating you respectfully, like a lady.
00:58:54He is.
00:58:55Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:58:58If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:03Right.
00:59:05Good thing.
00:59:07Shall we return to the party?
00:59:09Yes, we shall.
00:59:11Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:14You too, sir.
00:59:35You seem quiet.
00:59:37Is everything all right?
00:59:38Everything's fine, darling.
00:59:41Hey, Valentina.
00:59:42I have a girl question for you.
00:59:48Oh, my God, for the love of God.
00:59:51You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
00:59:52Just ask her to dance.
00:59:54You just met me, you can already tell?
00:59:56Yes.
00:59:58You read me like a book.
01:00:00I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:02You're really inquisitive.
01:00:04In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:07Would you?
01:00:08That would be great.
01:00:10Yes.
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.
01:00:27It's a medicine.
01:00:28Got it.
01:00:30Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:00:33Really?
01:00:35Sorry.
01:00:36When?
01:00:37Tonight.
01:00:38Oh, right.
01:00:39It's a ball.
01:00:40Yeah.
01:00:53It's time, brother.
01:00:54You ready?
01:00:55As ready as I'll ever be.
01:00:56Mm-hmm.
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.
01:01:34Good evening, everyone.
01:01:37I want to, uh, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of
01:01:43this would have happened tonight.
01:01:44My assistant Ariel and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:01:50Uh, not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:02Hi, Anna.
01:02:04Oh, hi.
01:02:06You haven't, uh, seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:09I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:12Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:02:17Oh, okay.
01:02:21Um, you look, you look really pretty, by the way.
01:02:25Thanks.
01:02:27You look really pretty, too.
01:02:29Thank you.
01:02:35Thank you.
01:02:50All right, time to find this code.
01:02:57All right, time to find this code.
01:02:58All right, time to find this code.
01:03:11Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:14What the heck did I say?
01:03:18The painting's good.
01:03:34So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:03:43Thank you all for coming.
01:03:45I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:07I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:08They old to you.
01:04:18Oof.
01:04:20...
01:04:28...
01:04:30...
01:04:31...
01:04:32...
01:04:33...
01:04:40I'll give you hints
01:04:42If you were to look for it
01:04:43You'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world
01:04:49He wasn't talking about the painting
01:04:54He was talking about me
01:05:10But that's for me

01:07:58Vielen Dank.
01:08:25How did you get in?
01:08:26Oh, I have my ways.
01:08:28We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:08:34Anyway, I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:08:39You need to leave.
01:08:41Actually, I don't think I do, because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:08:46She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:08:48No, no, 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.
01:09:13But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
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...
01:09:49She's just a liar.
01:09:50And 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.
01:10:17How preposterous.
01:10:19If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:10:23Ew.
01:10:24You're poor?
01:10:27Regina!
01:10:33You're my hero.
01:10:35Thanks.
01:10:36Sometimes I just gotta tell him, you know.
01:10:42Ariel!
01:10:51What are you smiling about?
01:10:53I mean, come on.
01:10:55This proves it, right?
01:10:57He's a joke.
01:10:59No, he's 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
01:11:07because 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.
01:11:23Hey, or is this what success looks like to you?
01:11:32Look, I'm not poor.
01:11:33What is that?
01:11:34I don't want to hear it.
01:11:35I do not want to hear it.
01:11:36I promise you.
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.
01:11:47Regina!
01:12:10Das war ein Verzweck.
01:12:15Ich verstehe nicht.
01:12:16I understand. Why would she go through all of that?
01:12:20I don't know. But, 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 if we're going to gain back
01:12:45the public's trust.
01:12:47You can't be serious.
01:12:49Oh?
01:12:53Something better happen soon or it gets 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!
01:13:30No!
01:13:31Ah!
01:13:38Ariel.
01:13:39Baby.
01:13:41Oh.
01:13:42You look like you had a rough night.
01:13:45It was a disaster, really.
01:13:48I feel awful.
01:13:50Oh.
01:13:51I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:13:54Thanks, Mom.
01:13:56Well, I have something to tell you.
01:13:59Dr. Westfall called.
01:14:00Are you okay? What's going on?
01:14:04He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:14:10What?
01:14:11I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:14:13Oh, my God.
01:14:14Oh.
01:14:17Mom, I'm so happy.
01:14:20I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:14:23I agree.
01:14:26I agree.
01:14:28Mom, I'm so happy.
01:14:57It's time to celebrate.
01:15:02To the future, darling.
01:15:10Drink.
01:15:11You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:15:18There it is.
01:15:20Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:15:23People walk in and out of my office,
01:15:26having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:15:29Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer
01:15:32since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:15:36I guess I just feel bad.
01:15:38To get what you want in life,
01:15:40sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:15:42Break the rules a little.
01:15:46I guess.
01:15:48Ask any CEO and they'll agree,
01:15:51including your little boy toy.
01:15:54Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:15:57Well, anyway,
01:15:58speaking of money,
01:16:00let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:03What?
01:16:04All I need is your wiring info
01:16:06and I can send it on over.
01:16:08I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed.
01:16:12I'm sorry.
01:16:14You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:16:17No.
01:16:18That's why we're here, isn't it?
01:16:22Darling.
01:16:26Darling.
01:16:48All right.
01:16:49One more drink
01:16:50and we'll start packing up my things.
01:16:54Deal.
01:16:54One more.
01:17:00Anna.
01:17:01Hi, Mr. Ellington.
01:17:02May I come in?
01:17:03Sure.
01:17:03Come on in.
01:17:05Hi, cutie.
01:17:09Care for a drink?
01:17:10Oh, no.
01:17:11I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:17:13Wait, what was that?
01:17:14Mr. Ellington,
01:17:15I have a delivery for you.
01:17:17From who?
01:17:19Ariel.
01:17:23From who?
01:17:24Ariel.
01:17:25I don't want it.
01:17:26Take it back.
01:17:27She said you might say that,
01:17:29but she said that it was very, very important.
01:17:32How important?
01:17:35I don't know,
01:17:36but she did say that it was something so important
01:17:39that she only trusted me to deliver it,
01:17:41so it must be a big deal.
01:17:44Okay.
01:17:57Oh, my God.
01:17:58Oh, my God.
01:18:00Ew, what's happening?
01:18:02What's going on?
01:18:03What does this mean?
01:18:21Oh, Flora?
01:18:22Yes, darling?
01:18:23Oh, your appointment had to leave early.
01:18:25I asked if they wanted to schedule,
01:18:27but they said no.
01:18:28I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:18:31What was the name?
01:18:35Valentina Kingsley?
01:18:55You're rich.
01:18:56You'll get over it, darling.
01:19:13Oh, what's going on?
01:19:15What does this mean?
01:19:20Thank you for everything.
01:19:27Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh,
01:19:30that one, the thing?
01:19:31Yes, yes.
01:19:32Let's, uh, let's do that.
01:19:38Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:19:46Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:19:51But it's time.
01:20:00But it's time.
01:20:07To celebrate.
01:20:08Oh, my God.
01:20:12You are going to regret this.
01:20:14I promise you that.
01:20:20Jeez, what did you do?
01:20:22I don't know, girl.
01:20:24But the way she wears that dress,
01:20:25she can step on me any day.
01:20:30Let me see.
01:20:31I knew you could do it.
01:20:32I knew it.
01:20:33What do you know?
01:20:36Your dad would be so proud of you.
01:20:48Dr. Westfall.
01:20:50Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:20:51Is surgery over?
01:20:52How did it go?
01:20:52Yes, we just finished.
01:20:54Um, there were complications.
01:20:56Complications?
01:20:56Yes, but we were able to work through them
01:20:59and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:21:02Really?
01:21:03Yeah, really, yes.
01:21:04In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:21:06She's going to need to rest for a few hours,
01:21:09but when she wakes up,
01:21:10she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:21:13I can't thank you enough.
01:21:14I'm happy to help.
01:21:15I'm happy to help.
01:21:25I'm happy to help.
01:21:31I'm happy to help.
01:21:54Come in, come in!
01:21:58Welcome!
01:22:03Ariel!
01:22:05Mom, when you were to leave out of bed, the doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:22:09I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window,
01:22:13and I got kind of excited.
01:22:17Are you hungry? Thirsty?
01:22:19No, thank you, but thank you.
01:22:20Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:22:24Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:22:27Oh, of course.
01:22:31I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:22:41I'm so, so sorry.
01:22:43I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:22:48And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:22:53Thank you for everything.
01:22:55Anything. I don't even know where to start.
01:23:01I'm not looking for an apology.
01:23:04You're not?
01:23:05No.
01:23:07See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:23:11And you're kind of the best in town.
01:23:16I accept.
01:23:18And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:23:26Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:23:43I love you, Valentina.
01:23:45I, I mean, Ariel.
01:23:48That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:23:51There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:23:55But this is my special place.
01:23:59It's even better.
