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.
00:00:50Bite 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, 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.
00:01:12Bye.
00:01:16Bye.
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.
00:02:06Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:13And you are?
00:02:14Blaine Ellington.
00:02:15CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:18Hmm.
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.
00:02:35Uh, it's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:38You want two?
00:02:39Actually, 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?
00:02:54I invest.
00:02:57I invest.
00:02:57In what?
00:02:58In everything.
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:04Businesses?
00:03:06Charities?
00:03:08I see.
00:03:09And you live in the city?
00:03:12The city.
00:03:14The hills.
00:03:15Yes.
00:03:16My yacht.
00:03:19My private island.
00:03:21I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:24You're so impressive.
00:03:27So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:31I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:38Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:51Kurt?
00:03:52Kurt?
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.
00:04:15Alright, 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.
00:05:16You 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.
00:05:25Shall we get started?
00:05:29Uh, not so fast.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:33A little foreplay?
00:05:35I did not think this through at all.
00:05:37How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:45Looking for something?
00:05:47Oh, um...
00:05:48Shh.
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.
00:06:13I'm...
00:06:13building the suspense.
00:06:15Ah.
00:06:16I see.
00:06:17Ugh.
00:06:18Where could it be?
00:06:19Right.
00:06:20And...
00:06:20You say guys actually like this?
00:06:23Oh, yes.
00:06:23It'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.
00:06:56Huh.
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 safe keepings?
00:07:11In a super...
00:07:12Super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:15Ugh, 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.
00:08:02It was fantastic.
00:08:03The other girls, they're so boring.
00:08:06But this one...
00:08:08She's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:10I must see her again.
00:08:12Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:15It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:23Grandfather.
00:08:24Hmm?
00:08:24Listen to him.
00:08:25He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:27I am much more qualified.
00:08:29Oh, yeah.
00:08:31I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:34Mm-hmm.
00:08:34No, no, no, no.
00:08:36Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:39Right?
00:08:40You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:42No.
00:08:43No, but Blaine.
00:08:44Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:47Whatever.
00:08:49Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:51I 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.
00:09:15It won't be long until he slips up,
00:09:18and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant.
00:09:23It's all coming together perfectly.
00:09:26And the VR tech you're developing.
00:09:27It'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, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:56I'm fine.
00:09:58Ariel.
00:10:00How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge.
00:10:09There 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?
00:10:32Should 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.
00:10:43Are you gonna apply?
00:10:43I'm good where I am.
00:10:45But all the girls are applying.
00:10:46Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:48You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:50I think this position is yours.
00:11:01He's gorgeous.
00:11:03I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:07Attention, 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, back to work.
00:11:45You look exactly like...
00:11:49Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:55Kurt described.
00:11:57Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:02There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:05This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:08When do I start?
00:12:10Perfect.
00:12:10Uh, 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.
00:12:27Just click the link to connect it, so 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 if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:13:00Okay, I understand.
00:13:02I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:12Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:15I 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.
00:13:29Mom.
00:13:35The doctor called?
00:13:37He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:39Hush.
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.
00:14:30Oh, where am I?
00:14:34Valentina!
00:14:36Blaine!
00:14:38Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:41Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:42No, not at all.
00:14:44This place is special.
00:14:46Follow me.
00:14:47What?
00:14:49What?
00:14:52What?
00:14:54What?
00:14:58How many more?
00:15:00We're almost there.
00:15:01Come on.
00:15:02Oh, my God.
00:15:08Oh, my God.
00:15:09That's just me.
00:15:17Wow.
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,
00:15:45and, uh, I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:49so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:52except when I come here.
00:15:56I'm so sorry.
00:16:03My mom is sick.
00:16:08She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:14Say how it feels, Tip.
00:16:17Want to get a wig?
00:16:19Yeah.
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, 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
00:17:26in 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.
00:17:40Well, well, well.
00:17:44Martina, what are you doing here?
00:17:46I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:17:51Had to see it for myself.
00:17:53Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:17:56it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right.
00:17:59Is that so?
00:18:00Oh, Blaine'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
00:18:27to 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,
00:18:34I'm not so sure that you won't lose
00:18:35this new AI tech that we need.
00:18:37I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati,
00:18:39and don't you worry,
00:18:40I've got the codes right here on this drive,
00:18:44and 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.
00:19:09Get 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
00:19:44with 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.
00:19:57Oh, 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 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,
00:20:38and she doesn't know what to do about it
00:20:40because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:20:42How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:20:44Wait, 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,
00:20:50because what if I tell Kurt I like him
00:20:52and he doesn't like me,
00:20:53and then it's so totally awkward,
00:20:55and so he fires me
00:20:56because it's so totally awkward.
00:20:58Wait, do you like Kurt?
00:21:00I gotta go.
00:21:01What?
00:21:02Ring, ring.
00:21:03Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:06Ring, ring.
00:21:07Ring, ring.
00:21:08Ring, ring.
00:21:12Ariel.
00:21:14Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:15I need your personal help.
00:21:17Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:23I'm 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.
00:21:37Checks out.
00:21:39So, I need your help to figure out
00:21:41which 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 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
00:22:23whenever 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 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 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,
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, more 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.
00:23:54Yes?
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.
00:24:05And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:09Um...
00:24:10Be nice?
00:24:14What?
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, have fun.
00:24:54All right.
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.
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.
00:25:33See, 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 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?
00:26:19Really?
00:26:20Yeah.
00:26:21It cost me $10,000 just to get them re-keyed.
00:26:25Which 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.
00:26:38Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:26:41I'll tell you.
00:26:42But first...
00:26:48I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:26:49No, no, no, no.
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.
00:27:33Hey, look 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.
00:27:53Please, 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,
00:28:02sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:05This isn't happening.
00:28:07Do you not remember
00:28:08when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday
00:28:10at that Mexican restaurant
00:28:12and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:15I'm very...
00:28:18Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:19Yes, he does.
00:28:21A situationship at best.
00:28:23Let go, Max.
00:28:24Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:27Get off of it.
00:28:30Blaine Ellington?
00:28:32Max Fletcher.
00:28:33Maximilian?
00:28:34What are you doing with that peasant?
00:28:37That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:28:39Blaine Ellington.
00:28:41Getting 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.
00:29:14Are you okay?
00:29:15Yeah, I think so.
00:29:17We gotta get out of here.
00:29:19This isn't good.
00:29:28Care to explain this?
00:29:30I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:33Getting into a physical altercation
00:29:36in a bar?
00:29:39What are you, a child?
00:29:41I'm not a child,
00:29:42but he started it.
00:29:43Well, I don't care who started it.
00:29:46Ellington is a company
00:29:48based in family values.
00:29:51I was out with my girlfriend
00:29:52trying to uphold those family values.
00:29:55No, no, no, don't, 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.
00:30:02Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:04Maybe you're too much of a risk,
00:30:06even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:08Either way,
00:30:10I just hope all this boils over
00:30:11next time we talk.
00:30:14What would your father think?
00:30:33And the easy lies the head
00:30:34that 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
00:30:52say something different?
00:30:53She's not a bimbo.
00:30:56Then don't treat her like one.
00:30:59Treat her like
00:31:00dad treated mom.
00:31:05How do you mean?
00:31:07Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:10Let her know everything about you.
00:31:13I'm trying to.
00:31:14Just last night,
00:31:15we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:17How can you share more?
00:31:19Behind most men's success
00:31:20is a strong woman.
00:31:22I will.
00:31:24I'm gonna get close to this woman.
00:31:26You'll see.
00:31:27Hmm.
00:31:28And you will be like
00:31:29two lovely berries
00:31:31molded onto one stem.
00:31:33Shakespeare.
00:31:35Yeah?
00:31:36Ow.
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
00:31:58because we thought
00:31:59you could get the job done.
00:32:00But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:04Wait.
00:32:06Oh my God,
00:32:07do you have feelings for him?
00:32:08What?
00:32:09No.
00:32:10I hope not.
00:32:11Because you have
00:32:12four days to get that code?
00:32:14Or you can say bye to Mommy.
00:32:17Other than that,
00:32:18I am fine.
00:32:20Thanks for asking.
00:32:32Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:34It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:32:37Oh, right.
00:32:38Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:32:39Better.
00:32:41And worse.
00:32:43That sounds super complicated.
00:32:45You have no idea.
00:32:47Ariel?
00:32:48Can you come in here?
00:32:50I'll be right there.
00:32:51Good thing you've got work
00:32:52to distract you.
00:32:53Good thing.
00:33:00You have the file
00:33:02for 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
00:33:31for, um,
00:33:3310 minutes.
00:33:37That's...
00:33:41That's an order.
00:33:43Okay.
00:33:51This is nice.
00:33:54Yeah.
00:33:56This should be like
00:33:57an everyday thing.
00:34:00Mm-hmm.
00:34:04Good morning.
00:34:05Another beautiful day
00:34:06in 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,
00:34:20everything should be there.
00:34:24I can't even concentrate
00:34:25on work right now.
00:34:27Oh?
00:34:28Why?
00:34:29Well,
00:34:29I don't know
00:34:30if you heard,
00:34:32but...
00:34:34Oh, my.
00:34:35That's, uh,
00:34:36quite a scene.
00:34:37Well,
00:34:37I'm glad you weren't there.
00:34:40I can imagine.
00:34:42Yeah,
00:34:42I just...
00:34:43I hope
00:34:44my girlfriend doesn't think
00:34:45that that's
00:34:46my kind of lifestyle.
00:34:49You 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,
00:34:58can you be in the room
00:34:59when I do it?
00:35:00Uh,
00:35:01you want me in the room?
00:35:03Yeah.
00:35:04Maybe you could,
00:35:04you know,
00:35:05listen to her voice
00:35:06and read her.
00:35:07Tell me if she sounds
00:35:09upset.
00:35:12I don't know
00:35:13if I feel comfortable.
00:35:14Oh, God,
00:35:15she makes me so nervous.
00:35:17I'm sure you make
00:35:18her nervous, too.
00:35:20Shit, shit, shit.
00:35:21Uh-oh.
00:35:23Uh-oh.
00:35:25Think, Ariel,
00:35:26think.
00:35:27Uh,
00:35:28I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:29Bathroom!
00:35:36Hello, 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,
00:35:47but
00:35:48I've been worse.
00:35:49You should have been with me
00:35:50in my partying days
00:35:51in Ibiza.
00:35:52I was an absolute
00:35:53heathen.
00:36:00Well, I'm glad to hear
00:36:01you're feeling all right.
00:36:03Uh,
00:36:03I was worried.
00:36:05I was worried.
00:36:07No need, darling.
00:36:09I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:12I wanted to know if, uh,
00:36:15I get to see you again.
00:36:16You will.
00:36:18Very soon.
00:36:20Very soon.
00:36:25Uh,
00:36:26sorry.
00:36:28Can I help you?
00:36:29I couldn't hear you.
00:36:31It kind of sounded like...
00:36:32Uh,
00:36:33sorry,
00:36:34Eduardo is calling me for my
00:36:36hot 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.
00:36:51Hmm.
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.
00:37:20Mom,
00:37:22I'm home.
00:37:23Hi, honey.
00:37:23How was your day?
00:37:26It was
00:37:28not
00:37:29boring.
00:37:30How was yours?
00:37:32It was wonderful.
00:37:34I did laundry,
00:37:35watched some soaps.
00:37:38Um,
00:37:39what are you cooking?
00:37:40I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:37:42Well,
00:37:42you weren't home yet,
00:37:43and I wanted to go ahead and get started
00:37:45so your co-worker could have some too.
00:37:47My co-worker?
00:37:49Hello,
00:37:50darling.
00:37:58Flora,
00:37:59what are you doing here?
00:38:01I was going to call you
00:38:02about a few work questions,
00:38:04but I was, uh,
00:38:05in the neighborhood
00:38:07and thought I'd drop in.
00:38:10Flora mentioned
00:38:11that you got a job promotion.
00:38:12You didn't say anything
00:38:13about a job promotion.
00:38:15I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:19Well,
00:38:19you two don't mind me.
00:38:21Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:22Then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:34What are you doing here?
00:38:36Checking in to see what progress
00:38:38was made last night.
00:38:39I, um,
00:38:41I got close to finding out
00:38:42where he hit the drive,
00:38:44but I don't know.
00:38:45But close doesn't pay the bills,
00:38:47does it?
00:38:47I'll get you the drive soon,
00:38:49I promise.
00:38:49Well,
00:38:50it sounds like the clock
00:38:51is ticking fast.
00:38:54You're not getting attached.
00:38:56What?
00:38:57No,
00:38:57of course not.
00:38:59Good.
00:39:00I was worried
00:39:01you were developing
00:39:01feelings for the man.
00:39:05Dinner's ready.
00:39:07Deeply sorry,
00:39:09darling.
00:39:09Urgent business
00:39:10must be taking off.
00:39:11Oh,
00:39:12um,
00:39:12okay,
00:39:13well,
00:39:13it was nice meeting you.
00:39:15You too,
00:39:16darling.
00:39:20Tick-tock.
00:39:32All right,
00:39:34I need ways
00:39:35to fix my image
00:39:37after that bar scandal.
00:39:38Any ideas?
00:39:41Inner rehab.
00:39:42Too tacky.
00:39:44Go volunteer
00:39:45in a third world country?
00:39:47Mm,
00:39:48too obvious.
00:39:49Record an apology video
00:39:50for social media
00:39:51and post it there.
00:39:53Too cringe.
00:39:58Adopt an orphan.
00:39:59Now that
00:40:00is something.
00:40:01Ariel,
00:40:01how good are you
00:40:02at raising kids?
00:40:03Um,
00:40:03let's think of
00:40:04other options.
00:40:08What about
00:40:08a charity ball?
00:40:10Yes,
00:40:11that's it.
00:40:11That's the one.
00:40:12I like that.
00:40:13I like it a lot.
00:40:15Isn't she good?
00:40:17Phenomenal.
00:40:18Well,
00:40:19really,
00:40:19we wouldn't be here
00:40:20had I not appointed her
00:40:21as your assistant,
00:40:22so,
00:40:22really,
00:40:23this kind of all
00:40:23comes back to...
00:40:24Got it.
00:40:25Wait,
00:40:26what charity
00:40:27would it be for?
00:40:28How about
00:40:29unknown disorders
00:40:30and illnesses?

00:41:38revolutionize the world.
00:41:40Ah, yes.
00:41:42We got interrupted.
00:41:43You were going to tell me
00:41:44something important.
00:41:47What were you going
00:41:48to say?
00:41:50It's not really
00:41:50that necessary.
00:41:53You don't trust me?
00:41:55I do.
00:41:56This is my first
00:41:57major launch
00:41:59as Ellington CEO,
00:42:00and I just
00:42:01want it to go well.
00:42:03But I thought
00:42:04I was special.
00:42:06You are.
00:42:07I just...
00:42:08Well,
00:42:09you 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
00:42:30going to tell me
00:42:30the super
00:42:32special secret?
00:42:34Mm-hmm.
00:42:36Mm-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?
00:43:02It's...
00:43:04Mm-hmm.
00:43:09Yeah.
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
00:43:28with China, so...
00:43:29I have to leave.
00:43:31You have to leave
00:43:32right now, darling?
00:43:33Yeah.
00:43:34Now.
00:43:35I'm sorry.
00:43:37Pick this back up
00:43:38again soon, huh?
00:43:40Yeah.
00:43:44Martina was right about you.
00:43:46I should start sharing
00:43:47more with you.
00:44:18Did you get it?
00:44:21The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:24Excellent, darling.
00:44:25Excellent.
00:44:28Excellent.
00:44:50Max, what are you doing here?
00:44:51What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:44:53Or should I say...
00:44:55Valentina Kingsley?
00:44:57You wouldn't understand.
00:44:58Oh, I understand.
00:45:00You're acting like somebody else
00:45:02to take advantage
00:45:03of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:05No, I'm not.
00:45:06I...
00:45:06You know I have the responsibility
00:45:08to tell your little
00:45:09hotshot boyfriend
00:45:10who you really are.
00:45:13It's...
00:45:14only the right thing to do.
00:45:16Please don't.
00:45:17You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:18Oh, you lose your job?
00:45:20Your reputation?
00:45:22Oh, once word gets out,
00:45:25nobody will want you?
00:45:26What do you want, Max?
00:45:28I just want...
00:45:30a little...
00:45:31an arrangement.
00:45:32I'd rather not.
00:45:34Ariel...
00:45:35you really do not
00:45:36want to make me angry.
00:45:39Did you just come here
00:45:40to hurt me?
00:45:41Oh, sweetheart,
00:45:42I don't want to hurt you.
00:45:44I want to destroy you.
00:45:47You have 24 hours
00:45:49to end this charade
00:45:51on your own.
00:45:53If by tomorrow,
00:45:54I see little
00:45:55Valentina Kingsley
00:45:57running around town,
00:46:00I'll do it for you.
00:46:16You seem extra happy today.
00:46:19I feel like Valentina and I,
00:46:21we got on a whole
00:46:22another 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
00:46:32she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:35Kurt?
00:46:36Sorry, what were we
00:46:37talking about?
00:46:42Hi, Ariel.
00:46:43You all right?
00:46:45Yeah, I'm all right.
00:46:48I actually had an idea
00:46:49about the Cherry Bowl.
00:46:52Well, we keep reaching out
00:46:53to all of these
00:46:54extravagant venues
00:46:55for their availability.
00:46:57I was thinking
00:46:58we could host it ourselves.
00:47:00Where?
00:47:01I was thinking
00:47:03your house.
00:47:09I don't really like
00:47:11having people
00:47:12over at my house.
00:47:13Well, if we host it
00:47:14ourselves,
00:47:15it seems like a more
00:47:16intimate event.
00:47:19And then we could have it
00:47:20as soon as this weekend.
00:47:22Yeah, that makes sense.
00:47:24Okay.
00:47:26Let's do it.
00:47:27Great.
00:47:27I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:32She really knows
00:47:33his company,
00:47:34inside and out.
00:47:35What do you know
00:47:36about Ariel?
00:47:39What do you want to know?
00:47:53Here you go, Mom.
00:47:56I'm sorry I couldn't
00:47:57stay awake for the movie.
00:47:58I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:00That's okay.
00:48:01We can watch it
00:48:02next weekend.
00:48:04Sweetie,
00:48:04you should be going out
00:48:05with your friends
00:48:06on a Saturday night.
00:48:08Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:10People your age,
00:48:11who you can be
00:48:12out dancing with,
00:48:14flirting with boys.
00:48:17I actually
00:48:18kind of have met
00:48:19this one boy.
00:48:20What?
00:48:21What's he like?
00:48:22It's complicated.
00:48:25Honey,
00:48:25you just need
00:48:26to follow your heart.
00:48:28Yeah,
00:48:29he's kind of sweet.
00:48:38sweetie,
00:48:39I'm fine.
00:48:41I just need
00:48:41some rest.
00:48:44Hmm.
00:49:02And then after
00:49:03your speech,
00:49:03we're going to
00:49:04dance the night away.
00:49:06Ugh,
00:49:06I'm dreading
00:49:07giving this speech.
00:49:08I guess I'll just
00:49:09picture everyone
00:49:10wearing their underwear
00:49:11and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:12I always thought
00:49:13that was a little pervy,
00:49:14but...
00:49:16I promise,
00:49:18you're going to
00:49:18be amazing.
00:49:20Thank you so much
00:49:22for helping with this.
00:49:24This charity ball idea
00:49:25was genius.
00:49:27I need to make it up
00:49:28to you at some point.
00:49:29I was just doing
00:49:30my job,
00:49:31Mr. Ellington.
00:49:35Well,
00:49:36I should get going.
00:49:37Wait,
00:49:38um,
00:49:39I should probably
00:49:39call Valentina,
00:49:40right?
00:49:41Make sure
00:49:42the dress fits.
00:49:44I'm sure she'd
00:49:45appreciate that.
00:49:46All right.
00:49:48Good night.
00:49:51Good night.
00:50:01Hello, darling.
00:50:02I just wanted to
00:50:03make sure the dress fit.
00:50:06It's perfect.
00:50:07I'm looking forward
00:50:08to tomorrow.
00:50:10I can't wait
00:50:11either, darling.
00:50:13Good night.
00:50:34Ariel,
00:50:35this place looks amazing.
00:50:37Thanks, Kurt.

00:50:41Oh, yeah.
00:50:41Well,

00:50:43you know?
00:50:44Are you trying
00:50:45to impress anyone?

00:50:49Listen,
00:50:50random,
00:50:51does Hannah
00:50:51have a boyfriend?
00:50:54I don't think so.
00:50:57Do you like her?
00:50:59No,
00:50:59no,
00:51:00no,
00:51:00no,
00:51:01no.
00:51:02I'm just trying
00:51:02to make
00:51:04friendly conversation.
00:51:06Yeah.
00:51:08We need more balloons
00:51:09in the dining room.
00:51:12Oh.
00:51:14You're still here.
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:16Uh,
00:51:16listen,
00:51:18if someone
00:51:20were to ask
00:51:21Hannah to dance,
00:51:23what do you think
00:51:24the chances are
00:51:24that she would say
00:51:25yes?
00:51:27Probably good.
00:51:30Are you going
00:51:30to ask her to dance?
00:51:32No,
00:51:32no,
00:51:33no,

00:51:34I'm just,
00:51:34um,
00:51:36a fan of,
00:51:37of wild,
00:51:38hypothetical scenarios.
00:51:40That one just
00:51:41sprung to mind.
00:51:42Mm-hmm.
00:51:43Okay.
00:51:45Yep.
00:51:47Um,
00:51:48well,

00:51:59I will see you later.
00:52:00All right,
00:52:01see ya.
00:52:03And you must be Ariel.
00:52:09Yes,
00:52:09hi.
00:52:12Hmm.
00:52:13You know,
00:52:13my grandson
00:52:14has spoken very fondly
00:52:15of you.
00:52:16He has?
00:52:17Oh,
00:52:17yes,
00:52:18yes.
00:52:18In fact,
00:52:18he says that,
00:52:20well,
00:52:20this whole thing
00:52:21was your idea.
00:52:23I suppose so.
00:52:25Wonderful.
00:52:27Kind of reminds me
00:52:28of something
00:52:28Blaine's father
00:52:29would have done
00:52:30if he were
00:52:31in Blaine's situation.
00:52:33Wow,
00:52:34that's such an honor.
00:52:35I heard he was
00:52:36a great man.
00:52:37He was a great man.
00:52:40Martina,
00:52:42have you had the pleasure
00:52:43of meeting
00:52:43Blaine's assistant,
00:52:44Ariel?
00:52:45Yes,
00:52:46briefly.
00:52:47She's really helped
00:52:48Blaine become
00:52:48quite an impressive
00:52:49CEO.
00:52:50Yes,
00:52:50yes,
00:52:51she has.
00:52:51In fact,
00:52:52I can,
00:52:53I can see her
00:52:54playing a bigger role
00:52:55than Ellington
00:52:56if she keeps it up.
00:52:58Why wait?
00:52:59She could be a part
00:52:59of something huge
00:53:00tonight.
00:53:02Really?
00:53:03I think so.
00:53:04Don't you,
00:53:05Ariel?
00:53:05Uh,
00:53:06uh-huh.
00:53:08Amazing.
00:53:10Well,
00:53:12I can't wait.
00:53:16Me either.
00:53:23No-no-no-no-no.
00:53:56Ariel.
00:53:58Blaine.
00:53:59There you are.
00:53:59I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:01Here I am.
00:54:02Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:05No, I don't think so.
00:54:06About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:10Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:13In fact...
00:54:14What?
00:54:16Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:54:19I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:25I'll get right on that.
00:54:26Thank you. Bye.
00:54:35Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:54:39Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:54:42Okay.
00:54:44You 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.
00:54:58Okay.
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...
00:55:15Valentina Kingsley.
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?
00:55:25Well, yeah.
00:55:26But, 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.
00:55:50Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:55:57Yeah, thanks.
00:55:58I'm gonna need it.
00:56:21Oh, 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.
00:56:31I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:32Of course.
00:56:34You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:36Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:56:39They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:56:42You make me feel so confident.
00:56:44I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:56:53Of course.
00:56:55Okay, perfect.
00:56:57Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:56:59Why'd I must go speak with her?
00:57:00Uh, Valentina.
00:57:02I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:10I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:13Great.
00:57:14Hey.
00:57:14Where would this be taking place?
00:57:16In the study, or?
00:57:18Upstairs.
00:57:19Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:22Ah.
00:57:23I see.
00:57:25You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:31What 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.
00:58:10Excuse 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, from the front page of the Times.
00:58:36Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:58:38Hope it was all good things.
00:58:40Well, 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, I have a girl question for you.
00:59:48Oh, my God, for the love of God.
00:59:51You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
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.
01:00:11Dude.
01:00:15Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:17Anything.
01:00:17When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:00:21If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:00:23And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:00:28Got it.
01:00:31Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:00:33Really?
01:00:35Sorry.
01:00:36When?
01:00:37Tonight.
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.
01:00:56All right.
01:01:01Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:04It means a lot.
01:01:05Of course.
01:01:07You're going to be amazing.
01:01:15Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:01:19It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:01:27Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:01:29Mr. 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.
01:02:50Alright, time to find this code.
01:03:11Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:14What the heck did I say?
01:03:18The paintings.
01:03:34So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders
01:03:42unknown.
01:03:43Thank you all for coming.
01:03:45I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:07I'm sorry, mom.
01:04:09I failed you.
01:04:10I don't know.
01:04:40I'll give you a hint.
01:04:42If you were to look for it,
01:04:44you'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.
01:05:10He was talking about me.
01:05:20I don't know.
01:05:49I think Ariel what could the numbers be it couldn't be our first date could it
01:06:34I've got the code
01:06:36Excellent darling
01:06:38I'll give it to you after the ball
01:06:40Or you could give it to me now
01:06:44Flora
01:06:49What are you doing here?
01:06:51I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be
01:06:54Just like you apparently
01:06:58The code darling
01:07:04The future
01:07:06In the palm of my hand
01:07:10I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you
01:07:13Lane's a good man
01:07:16You're awful
01:07:17He's rich darling
01:07:18He'll get over it
01:07:20My mom
01:07:22And her surgery
01:07:24I've been accused of many things
01:07:26But I always keep my word
01:07:29Now
01:07:30Go and celebrate
01:07:31You deserve it darling
01:07:58Balancina
01:07:59Hi darling
01:08:00There you are
01:08:02How are you feeling?
01:08:04Stronger than the rains in the Amazon darling
01:08:07Excellent
01:08:08Care to dance?
01:08:10Certainly
01:08:13Well, well, well, look at the happy couple
01:08:25How did you get in?
01:08:26Oh, I have my ways
01:08:28We lied about our names on the guest list
01:08:32Anyway
01:08:35I just came here to congratulate you
01:08:37On your little events
01:08:39You need to leave
01:08:40Actually, I don't think I do
01:08:42Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is
01:08:46She's Valentina Kingsley
01:08:48No, no, no
01:08:49There 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
01:09:04Lane, don't listen to him
01:09:06What is he talking about?
01:09:09Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here
01:09:14But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt
01:09:29Ariel?
01:09:40This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:09:43That's right
01:09:44This whole time
01:09:46You pretended to care about me
01:09:48But you're
01:09:49She's just a liar
01:09:50And worse
01:09:51She's poor
01:09:54Why?
01:09:56Yes, Ariel
01:09:57But why?
01:10:00I'm so sorry
01:10:01Ariel
01:10:02Ariel, wait
01:10:05How embarrassing
01:10:08You know
01:10:10I looked into you
01:10:12You're in so much debt
01:10:13That it's surprising
01:10:14That you can even rent
01:10:15The Lambo that you drove here
01:10:17How preposterous
01:10:19If anybody looks into that
01:10:20It will be a complete waste of time
01:10:23Ew
01:10:24You're poor?
01:10:27Regina!
01:10:33You're my hero
01:10:34Thanks
01:10:35Sometimes I just
01:10:37Gotta tell him
01:10:38You 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
01:11:05With 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
01:11:13Talking to me like this, kid
01:11:17You've got a lot of nerve
01:11:18Letting this ship go down
01:11:19When the lifeboat is right in front of you
01:11:22I should be running this company
01:11:24Or
01:11:25Is this what success looks like to you?
01:11:32Look, I'm not poor
01:11:33I 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
01:11:39But you embarrassed me in there
01:11:40That is fair
01:11:47Regina!
01:12:10That was a disaster
01:12:12I just don't understand
01:12:18Why would she go through all of that?
01:12:20I don't know
01:12:22But, uh
01:12:24These scandals are exhausting
01:12:26Yeah
01:12:27I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon
01:12:33Right
01:12:36I got a lot to think about
01:12:38What do you mean?
01:12:40I mean
01:12:41We may have to take the company
01:12:42In a complete different direction
01:12:44If we're going to gain back
01:12:45The public's trust
01:12:47You can't be serious
01:12:49Huh?
01:12:53Something better happen soon
01:12:55Or
01:12:56I guess much worse
01:12:59Did she want anything from you?
01:13:02I don't know, Martina
01:13:04Nothing valuable?
01:13:05Martina, I said I don't
01:13:29No!

01:15:36I 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, including your little boy toy.
01:15:54Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:15:57Well, anyway, speaking of money,
